Apple's current mood

2007-08-11T15:10:00.000+08:00

my current moods of the moment:

♠ I badly want a Canon 400D. it's about time i take photography seriously. My mom and dad has been pushing me to take some training and some lessons from my uncle,Lito Sy. but first, i want a new camera.ASAP

♠ I want to change my cellphone. My old cellphone has been with me for a year and 5 months now. And its the first time a cellphone has been with me for a year. Usually, my cellphone doesn't last a year with me coz i have sold it or i have seen something new. And this time, i don't want nokia anymore. Maybe i have enough already with nokia. I want something different for a change like Sony Ericsson.

♠ I want to go to Bohol or Palau. I need some major relaxing at the beach. And since, i haven't been to these places, its is much cheaper and nearer compared to Boracay. Boracay will just have to wait for us. Ü

♠ I need more cash. Period.

♠ My birthday is coming up and hopefully, all of my needs and want i mentioned above will be given to me.heheeh..such a spoiled brat.

i heart enrique

2007-07-09T19:40:00.000+08:00

I recently am crazy over Enrique. His new song,the pingpong song is such a sweetheart. Especially in his video.Its like i feel that i am the gurl he's after! ahahaha! pathetic,i know but he really has that impact over women. His eyes are so bold and strong that when you look at him in his pics and videos, his stares are very deep and meaningful.You felt like you were being seen naked. ahaha! But really, I have always found him attractive and sexy and Ive always thought that he is the type of guy who breaks women's heart or a promiscuous one. =) I mean,for crying out loud, he is the son of Julio Iglesias,the Don Romantiko of the world..everybody knows that.aihihi...i dunno know what im blabbering about but i like him period =)

Heres the lyrics:

Do you know?

And Do you know? Do you know?

Do you know what it feels like loving someone that’s in a rush to throw you away?

Do you know, do you know, do you know, do ya? Do you know what it feels like to be the last one to know the lock on the door has changed?

If birds flying south is a sign of changes At least you can predict this every year Love, you never know the minute it ends suddenly I can’t get it to speak Maybe if I knew all the things it took to save us I could fix the pain that bleeds inside of me Look in your eyes to see something about me I’m standing on the edge and I don’t know what else to give.

How can I love you? How can I love you? How can I love you? How can I love you? If you just don’t talk to me, babe. I flow through my act There's a question: Is she needed? And decide all the man I can ever be. Looking at the last 3 years like I did I could never see us ending like this. (Do you know?) Seeing your face no more on my pillow Is a scene that’s never ever happened to me. (Do you know?) But after this episode I don’t see You could never tell the next thing life could be

Do you know what it feels like loving someone that’s in a rush to throw you away? Do you know, do you know, do you know, do ya? Do you know what it feels like to be the last one to know the lock on the door has changed? Do you know what it feels like loving someone that’s in a rush to throw you away? Do you know, do you know, do you know, do ya? Do you know what it feels like to be the last one to know the lock on the door has changed? (Do you know?) (Do you know?) (Do you know?) (Do you know?) Do you know what it feels like loving someone that’s in a rush to throw you away? Do you know, do you know, do you know, do ya? Do you know what it feels like to be the last one to know the lock on the door has changed? Do you know what it feels like loving someone that’s in a rush to throw you away? (Do you know how it feels?) Do you know what it feels like to be the last one to know the lock on the door has changed? (Do you know how it feels?) (Do you know? Do you know? Do you know? Do you?) (Do you know? Do you know? Do you know? Do you?)

Spice Girls Reunite

2007-06-29T00:14:00.000+08:00

I just love the Spice Girls! lol! And they are reuniting! Call me lame or baduy but i really like them. They were so popular back in 1997 and those years of stardom adds beautiful memories of my first year in college. I was in Finland then and they were super popular in Europe. Like they were really treated like a royal family. People especially young girls looked up to them. They were a big influence in their lives. Everywhere you go, especially at the malls, you can see a lot of their merchandise. From their super high shoes,to spice shirts to spice polaroids, lollipops, rollerskates, everything! they were everywhere. Some people were sick of them but most people admired them. I love all of their songs and until now, whenever i hear either of their popular songs, it makes me feel good and all my wonderful memories back then flashes before my eyes! hahaha..kidding.. but yeah, it never fails to give myself a smirk.

They will be having a world tour late this year so i wanna watch them perform, even if on television only =)

my first experience as a pre schooler mom

2007-06-19T19:13:00.000+08:00

It was my 3 year old daughter's first day of school last June 18,2007 and his father and I were so excited we dropped her off to her school and to her room. It was a new horizon for our little daughter since from the very beginning when she was still a toddler,she wanted to go to school already. And the day had finally arrived that she was all cheers and jumping for joy. I was covering her books secretly because she can't contain herself already and wanted to read and write on her book. As first timers, we have realized that we have moved on to the next level in our lives.

Being a first time mum is exciting as well as disappointing. If you have an overly hyperactive kid, its gets so tiring and frustrating when you see him or her being bullied or bullies other kids. It was an exhausting experience for me and her father when after 2 weeks since school began, we were called by the teacher already because of this and that. Reality check! We were kinda depressed.We keep on finding solutions to what we will do with her or how we treat her whenever she commits a mistake. Blame it on spoilednes, i think and the GENES. I always tell my husband, that we really cannot blame our daughter for her actions since she got it from his side of the family. All of them have really strong personalities and very " BUGOY".They are always goofing around, making dirty jokes, pretty loud and such. And from my side of the family, my mom has always been the stongest one in our kin. She gets what she really wants no matter what. She is full of principles and strongly says whats in her mind.

Fast forward to the present, we have seen changes already. She's been very obedient to her teachers and focuses on her lessons slowly. She's becoming a little lady and a little bit prim and proper at school. She is one of the favorites in her class. She never fails to make her teachers laugh and be proud of her. Kiana has always been very strong willed. She really gets what she wants and for that she sometmes gets in trouble with us or her teachers. She already has a mind of her own. a very smart kid. She is always there to make"badlong" whenever me and her dad argues. She is very friendly with everyone even strangers. We always call her" the kidnapunun kid" because she will really go out of her way greeting anyone and talking to anyone. She is kinda "maldita". Let me put it this way, " dili cia manghilbot kung di cia una hilabtan og dili pud cia magpapildi kung gi hilabtan na cia" She is after all, a Libra. So justice must be equal. =)

We really are proud of Kiana. Big changes have occurred. and we as parents attest that we were successful =)

The price of fame

2007-06-01T20:22:00.000+08:00

The Yilmaz-Ruffa feud has been going on for almost a month now. Each of them have talked about their side of the matter. They have been bickering their issues publicly on TV and not settling it privately. Its just so improper for a husband and a wife to exchange words for the whole world to see. We have our own sides to listen to and empathize with. At first, ruffa got my sympathy and now, maybe Yilmaz got mine as well. But i hope all is well no matter what the ending might be. I pity those two little girls who is so innocent to what has been happening to their parents. And what bothers me most is that, they parted ways without confronting and settling the issue personally face to face. It isnt right. No matter how you have hated each other or despise each other, it is just the right thing to do to make amends personally. But I am not Ruffa . so there. =)

Now, on to Hollywood fuss! Only a few days left for Paris Hilton to go to jail. Maybe she deserves it, maybe not. But enough of the abuse already. She's very irresponsible,undisciplined and abusive towards her actions. hopefully, in jail, she will realize how lucky and blessed she is. I lover her shades though =)

And another busted gal! the next Paris Hilton to join her in jail.Maybe,if she continues to do this, she will eventually end up in jail. What is happening to Lindsay? I like her and i still do but i pity her because of what she is doing to her life. She's so wasted and pathetic. She should be careful always because a lot of people will always drag her down. She needs psychiatric help, I say.
And of course, the undying issues of Britney Spears. All i can say is, she has ADD or attention deficit disorder!

MAY YOU ALL REST IN PEACE! I MEAN, NOT LITERALLY BUT SOULFULLY AND LIVE PEACEFULLY =)

Cyber Ethics

2007-05-17T21:00:00.000+08:00

I just read this on a magazine and I cant believe how far a person can do when it comes to cyber bullying and stalking. When i was just starting to explore this so-called "Cyberworld", everything was just so amazing, convenient and easy. The internet is such a big help to the society. You can just imagine when will books become obsolete in the near future. But being internet savvy, are we safe to explore more? Are we opening ourselves to the possibility of being stalked(unknowingly)around the world?Are we safe to say that internet is the fastest fad and we have to keep up with it?

As i finished reading the article, it explains why all along some profiles I've (browsingly) seen, was on a private mode and not for everyone to see publicly. Before, i was curious why profiles are set on private. For me, it was just plain stupidity. I can justify to the thought that being part of this cyberworld made anyone,everyone and even Someone to be publicly seen. What i mean is" kung naa naman lang ka gani dri sa internet na makita sa tanan, nganu i butang paman jud sa private ang profile dba? diba, stupid kaayu na" but before anyone attacks me on this issue(hehehe), i now understand their prerogative and their concept about being an internet citizen. There are just a lot of people out there who will go out of their way just to bully and stalk innocent cyber citizens. Im talking about extremely sick nothing-to-do-with-their-lives people. If you think about it, maybe they just sit all day infront of their PC's, bullying,stalking,laughing,obssessing,slothing and such improper, rude netiquettes. And there are also some out there who are mentally ill. So far, being an internet citizen myself, no one has ever bullied me here. or no one has attempted to. I am also very careful when dealing with such new and unfamiliar people. I,for a fact, dont accept(for the sake of being friends online) people who im not acquainted with. Somehow we just have to be responsible with meeting the so called "online buddy". except for the reasons that this online buddy of yours is a friend of a friend. Like there has to be somewhat a connection to why and who you were online buddying with. know what i mean? Its like having a boundary for meeting such. I even have my fair share of buddying but there's got to be some connection from where and not just someone who pops into your screen and wants to be your friend. We are never too careful u know. Somehow, we have to be responsible for ourselves and our actions. You never know, someone already has gotten, imitated your pictures for his/her benefit. or worst, someone has hacked into your account and completely changed or destroyed your websites. Now thats what i call, intervention of rights. The right of a person to post anything and everything whenever s/he wants to.

Keeping one's profile under lock is the safest way to avoid people from stealing your photos, blogs and making sure it does not land in the wrong hands.

ciao.

2007-05-15T19:25:00.000+08:00

my thoughts are distorted for the past few days. Ive been wanting to blog about marriage and cyber stalkers but to no avail. I procrastinate a lot. All i do is surf and read. tsk..tsk.. i will write soon. im just not in the mood to blog.

Make up free

2007-04-28T08:58:00.000+08:00

Dont you think its beautiful when a woman wears no make up ? Like Drew Barrymore here. Isn't she lovely without make up on? Dont get me wrong, i love make ups! I started using it when i was still in High School. During those days, i would bring along my make up kit and do some retach whenever i get the chance. I still laugh at the thought of me putting on make up as a relief tool whenever i had a fight with my then boyfriend.=) We also tend to do it secretly coz we were not allowed to put on make up inside the school campus. But rule benders we were, we managed to get away with it. =) It was a happy moment for me and my barkadas.

When i was in college, putting on make up was a daily routine already. Its like an old habit that dies hard. I only had the usual and basic ones.Not too many. Different shades of lipstick, an eyeshadow, the eyebrow liner(a must have), a foundation, a press powder, lip gloss and a concealer. It takes practice,patience and time to make it beautiful and perfect. Ofcourse, it is also important to pick the right color and texture for your skin. For me, i have really sensitive skin. I wasnt bless to have flawless skin. So i carefully choose my product.

When I got married, i put on less make up because my hubby likes me fresh looking. He likes me without make up on. He isn't against it but he says i look nice without it. But because of work, i have to put minimal amounts only. I always put on lip gloss over lipstick because it smooths your lips and it takes hours before it fades out.

I have to end this entry bluntly coz i have nothing more to say. hehehe =)

Bye.

Wanna try it?

2007-03-02T19:29:00.000+08:00

hahahaha! Would you look at me? Dont i look fat and ugly in this picture? =) It is kinda blurry since i only shot this from my cam phone. It is actually from a Finnish newspaper.

Yes. I was featured in a local newspaper circa 1998 in our small town Salo, Finland. This was taken by the journalist. I was asked to try ice swimming or in their language "AVANTO". At first, I was hesitant to try it but since my host sister and some other Finns will join me, i was excited to go =) See that white thing behind my back? Thats thick ice. They have to dig the ice out and make a square hole so that the water will come out and you dip yourself in it for a few seconds. Before doing this though, of course, you will have to do sauna so that by the time you come out to the lake, it wouldnt be that freezing.Then after dipping, you have to run back in to the sauna. But it would be so much fun if you make angels on the snow before going back in.hehehe. After doing it for a couple of times,you feel so helpless and relaxed =).

I almost forgot all about it when my mum showed me the newspaper days ago. She kept it after a decade.

When the newspaper came out, all of my finnish friends and families were so shock, they were telling me" Are you crazy? it is freezing out there!" I just laughed. Although ice swimming is very popular in their culture, most of the Finns will never try it. =)

It was a great and wonderful experience for me. If ever i will go back there with my family, I will try it again and recommend it to them.hehehe.

I could have died of hypothermia but the Filipino in me was just so proud. naks! =) i was a good ambassador to our country. And they never will forget me.

I feel like Im having a speech here.hehehe

Till then.

Celebrities gone wild

2007-02-28T17:19:00.000+08:00

IN INTERNATIONAL NEWS:

WHAT IS HAPPENING WITH BRITNEY SPEARS?! EVER SINCE SHE DROPPED HER MARRIAGE WITH K FED, SHE WASNT THE WHOLESOME TEENY BOPPER ANYMORE! OF COURSE PEOPLE CHANGE BUT THIS ONE IS JUST TOO MUCH. CONSIDERING SHE HAS 2 CUTE BOYS TO RAISE.

PARTYING IS NOT A CRIME OR HAVING LOTS OF BOOZE BUT SHE SHOULD ALSO BE RESPONSIBLE ENOUGH FOR HER ACTIONS. IS THIS THE KIND OF EXAMPLE SHE WILL GIVE TO HER KIDS? OR TO ALL OTHER KIDS OUT THERE WHO ADORES,WORSHIP AND LOOK UP TO HER BEFORE? SHE SHOULDN'T BE CALLED A MOM. TSK..TSK..

AND NOW FOR THE LOCAL NEWS:

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH ALREADY. I AM SO FED UP WITH THE KRIS-JAMES-HOPE ISSUE. KRIS IS SO HISTRIONIC!! BETWEEN A MARRIAGE, EVEN THOUGH YOU ARE BOTH BIG TIME CELEBRITIES, AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE, YOU SHOULD BOTH BE DISCREET ABOUT IT IN PUBLIC.

IN MY PART, I PITY KRIS BECAUSE SHE IS PREGNANT AND AS A WIFE, I CAN RELATE TO HER TOO. MEN WILL ALWAYS BE MEN. THEY WILL ONLY CHANGE THEIR TOYS.HONESTLY SPEAKING. BUT EVERYTHING WILL BE SETTLED IF AND ONLY IF BOTH THE HUSBAND AND THE WIFE WILL SETTLE IN AN AGREEMENT AND TALK THINGS OUT. LIKE WHAT SHE SAID, FORGIVENESS IS REALLY A PROCESS. A LONG ONE. IT WILL ALWAYS BE UPON THE PARTNER IF S/HE WILL OPEN UP HIS/HER MIND IN STARTING THINGS ALL OVER AGAIN. IT IS NOT MARTYR BUT A COMPENSATION ON YOUR MARRIAGE. I KNOW BETRAYAL IS SUCH AN EXCRUCIATING PAIN ONE CAN EXPERIENCE. IT IS THE MERE FACT THAT YOU HAVE BEEN BETRAYED BY YOUR HUSBAND OR BY A FRIEND THAT MAKES IT WORST.

I WAS ONCE IN THAT SITUATION AGES AGO. BUT I NEVER GAVE UP WITHOUT A FIGHT. BUT WE WERE DISCREET ABOUT IT. A FEW OF OUR CLOSE FRIENDS ONLY KNEW ABOUT IT. BUT LIKE WHAT THEY SAY," WALAY ASO NA MAKUMKUM". SO EVENTUALLY, WE WERE THE TALK OF OUR CIRCLE OF FRIENDS. =). IT TOOK ME A COUPLE OF MONTHS TO A YEAR TO FINALLY FORGAVE EVERYTHING. I ADMIT, IT HAUNTED ME AT NIGHT BUT IM GLAD THAT I HAVE FORGIVEN HER AND NOW, I CAN SAY THAT I AM LOOKING FORWARD IN SEEING HER AGAIN IN THE FUTURE. =)

My Wedding planner

2007-02-23T17:45:00.000+08:00

Wwwhheeee! I am in the mood for lluurrvvv!! lol!

What Im about to write here, is my future wedding planner =)

Most of you know that Eisun and I were wed at civil rites here in CDO. We decided to postpone the church wedding until much much later. It was attended by our immediate families only. And of course, some ninongs and ninangs.

As years went by, the thought of being wed in the church has forgotten. It is the least of our priorities already. We talked about being wed in the church maybe on our silver wedding anniversary or when Kiana is big enough to be the flower gurl. But things have changed again. Like i said, the least of all.

Until now. I have planned my most beautiful wedding of all. And it's not a church wedding. I find it dull and classic already.

I want it to be :

1)On an exclusive island. Specifically, this island. This is the Mangodlong rock resort in San Francisco, Camotes Island. This place is so darn beautiful. Isnt it heaven? =) there are still a lot of resorts on this island but i chose this one 'coz its so much nicer and peaceful. No congestion,not yet commercialized and very much beautiful. Its overrated! My mum was born on this island but on the other side of it.She grew up there. I have lots of good memories on this island. All of my mum's family and relatives are still living there now. I haven't gone back since elementary. Thats why I want to go back and hold my wedding there.

2) My theme should be caribbean. The entourage(women) should wear white and baby blue funky gowns with flowers on their ears. The men on the other hand must wear all white. And they should all wear flip flops.

3) There should be a band. They will only be singing bossa nova and pop music.

4) And last but definitely not the least, My wedding photographer will be Lito Sy.

FYI: Lito Sy or Uncle Dodong is the 1st cousin of my dad. His mother and my dad's father are siblings. He gave me some pictorials when i was still in HS and he was just starting out in the business back in Davao then.

So, i know he will be my future photographer. hehehe =)

To make it more meaningful, all expenses will be paid to everyone. Friends, families, photographers, Everyone who will be part of my wedding. =)

Now, i have to go now. I still have to talk everything to Eisun. He doesnt know my plans yet. lol! =)

Happy Hearts Day!

2007-02-08T20:14:00.000+08:00

Valentines is fast approaching once again. In other countries, especially Europe, Valentines day is more like a friendship day.They usually spend it with their friends partying and lots of booze. But here in our dearly beloved country, Valentines is for everyone specifically for the lovers. We think of a thousand ways to make the day memorable and unforgettable. Eating out is a must on this special day. It doesn't matter if you eat in a posh restaurant or just beside your house with all the "turo-turo" foods, as long as it gives you quality time to spend it with someone who is worth your time. The funny thing though is that, it is always before payday! And usually, a day like this, people are almost always broke! It is rarely you see a ninoy aquino inside his/her wallet. =). Usually, there is enough to get him/her home after a hard day's work. A lot of people always ends up getting more from their ATM's, bank accounts or worse, asking extra money from their parents. * thats just too embarrassing* tsk..tsk.. But that is the way our society works. It is our culture. We always want to have a little happiness even if we have holes in our pockets. And as for a married person like me? How do i spend it you ask? Well, just like any regular and unmarried couples, We plan things on this day,where to eat, what to wear,spend it with whom and all that shebangs, but the difference is we go home together, sleep on the same bed and kiss our little daughter goodnight =)

Hope you'll have a great Valentines day! Enjoy and be safe =)

Movie marathons

2007-01-31T21:00:00.000+08:00

Lately, i have seen really good movies and sad to say on pirated dvd's. =( but eventually, they are all DVD copies and not just some dark and clear ones. Except for " A night at the museum" which we watched on theaters last week. The movie was hilarious and unique.=)

but anyways, the movies that i recommend you to see are:

1.) The Pursuit of Happyness - The Best! my eisun and i cried during the latter part of the movie. it was just so touching! especially on the part where there were struggles, pain and sacrifices that were made by the husband and the wife for their son.We can relate to that. I just hated the wife though.She was so selfish and impatient. What i loved about the father, was that he was so compassionate, humble, calm, responsible,caring, hardworking and everything! What he had was hope. Full of it. He should be the role model of fathers out there. Maybe not just fathers, but to all people who has lost faith in life. =)

2.) Babel - This is my strongest bet to the Academy Awards for Best Picture. The plot is unique and realistic. And of course, Brad Pitt! Do i need to say more? =).

3.) Apocalypto - Mel Gibson did a great job in making this movie. Although, Im really not into barbaric and primitive kind of movies but the plot itself gave justice to it. It was also unbelievable and unpredictable. It was all about the Aztecs in South America. Their destiny, survivals and struggles of being an Aztec was just heart breaking.

4) Blood Diamond - I like Leonardo Dicaprio but his acting sucks in this movie. A british who was raised in Sierra Leone, Africa thus the awful "here now, gone tomorrow" accent. But i still recommend you to see it. Its action packed, heart stopping, thriller =) lol!

5.)The Departed - This was so last year but its nice and its an all star cast. Martin Scorsese might lose Best Director to Babel.. Lets wait and see. Im no critic but i can tell =)

6) The Guardian - I once liked Kevin Costner when he was " The Bodyguard" but that was it. So it took me sometime to see this movie. but gladly i did. This is also the best movie Ive seen. =)

I think that was it. I probably forgot one or two but i think that was really it.hehe =)

2007 resolutions?

2007-01-02T10:38:00.000+08:00

Naahh.. i never do resolutions! i tend to break 'em and dont have the discipline to achieve it anyway. How was everyone's holidays? Everyone happy? hehehe..I wasnt online during the holiday season. no updates, downloads or uploads..just checking every once in a while..

I forgot my camera when we went to iligan for new year..i was frustrated coz i wasn't able to take a lot of pics during this season. my only substitute was the cameras on our celphones.tsk..tsk..

anyhoo, there were a lot of eating during the season. During Christmas, there was our ever favorite pansit malabon, then there was lasagna, ham, pata tim, chocolate cake(from "cecils", lami kaayu!) and a few delicacies. And for the new year, my mother in law's embutido, her rich and delicious baked spaghetti, leche flan(lami kaayu pud), biko from tita in law (lami pud) and of course ham.All in all, i gained 5 pounds!!! wahahaha..good for me. Even a pound gives me so much pleasure and excitement. Its hard for me to achieve a pound how much more 5. so whoopeedoo! =)

anyways, 2006 was a great year for us. i can still remember the events that happened from January to December last year. Hopefully, this year will be more blessed and fruitful for me and my family.. more travels perhaps and stability.

Im looking forward to what is ahead of us =)

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE !!!

I was silently screaming to myself "omigod, omigod!" coz she might wake up =) I cant wait to see her grow and be like her ninang *ahem* pretty and sexy.hahaha!

My christmas wishlist

2006-12-14T16:46:00.000+08:00

11 days more to go before Christmas and Im still not in my shopping mode.lol! but seriously, I lack excitement these holiday seasons. I just dont feel the christmas spirit. Maybe my credit card is to be blamed for. Half of my bonus will be paid to my bill. This is a big lesson for me.tsk..tsk..But at least, i am credit free next year! haha =) And i get to use my credit card again.hehe.*di jud mutagam =) *

Anyhoo, my christmas wishlist is full of goals and dreams. It is composed of all the things and dreams i ever hoped for.

1. I want to attend the "Simbang Gabi" this year. I have always believed that wishes come true once you complete it straight. But in the previous years, I have only attended it for 3 days and it still came true =)

2. Havaianas- the pink metallic one. I have already bought the brown and pink stripes.

3. N95 or N80 - i prefer these new nokia phones.

4. a long vacation- the hustle and bustle city of CDO is just too much for me. i need to relax and unwind. Anywhere is fine.

5. A reunion with HS barkadas- It is already a luxury for us to meet once in a blue moon. Our busy lives wont even allow us to have a dinner date, how much more a christmas reunion.

6. Pass Jeff's board exam - Before we know it, it will be his time to take the board exam and as early as now, Im praying for his title as RN.

7. Gain weight - as Rona quotes "not too much holiday weight gain" but for me, MORE MEAT FOR THE DOGGS.lol! *my hubby always says that*

8. Success in the business - I am slowly finding myself in the business world. This way, i will know if i will be a successful businesswoman in the future or much better to be an employee =(

9. more shopping - i feel i have been deprived of it for months now.haha. But strangely, i am not into material things lately especially christmas. I have everything i wanted and needed already. Although, there are still temptations everywhere and a lot of nice things to ponder on, but still i already have enough thank you =) but on the other hand, i still want to shop this holiday seasons =)

10. Manila and Cebu - My two most favorite shopping centers. lol =) I haven't been there for 6 years now. Boohoo me =(

11. a trip to disneyland HK and disneysea at Japan - with Jepjep and Kiana only. The 3 of us having fun and bonding outside the Philippines =) that would my simplest pleasure in life.

12. My dream house - i dont have the picture to my dream house yet, puzzles are yet to be formed in my imagination but i know it will be beautiful,peaceful and happy home.

13. Peace - Last but definitely not the least. Without it, the will to live is nothing.

Overall, the important thing is everyone is safe and happy during the holidays!

Enjoy your Christmas and New Year Everyone!!!! =)

2006-11-29T19:25:00.000+08:00

I just love the new James Bond. Daniel Craig is charming, appealing and he carries the role perfectly. And he has a beautiful body. lol! I also like Eva Green. Vesper in the movie. i find her really attractive and sexy. I first noticed her when she was in the movie Kingdom of Heaven with Orlando Bloom last year. They look good together.

Im looking forward to the next James Bond movie =)

7. GAITE, JEFFERSON Y.

2006-11-23T14:12:00.000+08:00

That was what it was written in their bulletin board. He was among the TOP 10 4th year nursing students in CU and he is on 7th place. Not bad langga. =) An agency wanted to know who the TOP students are in 4th year since they will be giving a free NCLEX exam in Hongkong. It wasn’t easy to be among the TOP since the requirement needs 10 endorsements from CI’s in their school. He was shocked when he saw his name in the paper with his gurl friends. That made his day. It was a good birthday gift to him. But we’ll have to see yet if he’s going to accept the offer. For the meantime, we’re still enjoying the news and so happy that he excelled in his craft

CONGRATULATIONS BABY! WE ARE SO PROUD OF YA! =) KEEP IT UP!

oh yeah!

2006-11-23T14:06:00.000+08:00

Yiiipppeee! We have a new broadband already. Our last broadband was not that good. We weren’t happy with their services. Hopefully, this one would be A-OK.

My never ending love for my hubby

2006-11-21T15:09:00.000+08:00

WARNING: A CHEESY ENTRY. DO NOT READ. I REPEAT. DO NOT READ. FOR CHEESY PERSONS ONLY.WELL, GO AHEAD IF YOU’RE REALLY INTERESTED. BUT DON’T SAY I DIDN’T WARN YOU. =)

I dedicate this entry to my one and only love, Jeff. Since today is his 29th birthday, I am going to tell you a little about him.

I dunno where and how to start it but I will take this slowly and precisely as possible.

But let me tell you first when and how I became his life. Then we’ll start from there.

Jepjep and I are family friends. His parents and mine are both in the insurance business. I was still in elementary then and he was still in high school when we first met. I was the type of person who hardly talks coz I was very shy during that time. Kwai-kwai, their youngest, was still my playmate. She was the first Gaite I’ve gotten to know better. During my high school years, I already find him attractive. But I wasn’t really into him since I had laid eyes on somebody else. And I thought he was too old for me, so I just wrote his name in my black book. * the names of my crushes were all there* As years went by, we were in the same college and I rarely see him on campus. I was so busy with my own life and him also. A glance from a far maybe once or twice. Nothing more. We weren’t really friends. Just a little hi and hello, a smile here and there. Nothing more.

Year 2000. This was the year that started it all.

He has just graduated from college and got into their family business. I, on the other hand, fresh from a broken heart had stopped school to find myself. *I was kind of a rebel in my studies and at home, so my parents told me to stop studying and work for them* To make a long story short, my mom gave me his number since they were talking then. It took me a while to have the guts to texted him. But eventually I did. And so it happened. He was very sweet. Trying to make me fall for him. He courted me in our house. He was the first guy who was ever welcome in our house. He was not the type who would lavish me with gifts and dates to make “pogi points”. He said it wasn’t his style. And so I thought. We only dated when we were officially dating. It was kind of a whirlwind romance that led into marriage. To cut it short, we got married after dating for 8 months only. It was short but it was right.

Throughout the marriage, he is the strong one mentally but I was stronger emotionally. We are yin and yang. We both balance things in whatever aspects we are in. We are both opposite. Maybe that was the one thing that made us click.

Here is everything that makes a Jefferson Gaite:

- Likes Yoyoy Villame’s songs and sings with him. He was even star struck when he saw him at ZC early this year
- Likes to organize things in the house. He doesn’t like “kalat” or any dirt in the house.
- Likes the beach a lot. He wanted to live nearby.
- Likes to eat Humba inside the cogon market
- He has Torets Syndrome(slight)
- He hates crowded places and avoids mall Sale.
- He has a problem with authority.
- He is a little bit introverted and anti-social
- He likes to piss people a lot
- He picks a fight with me almost always.
- He has a bad temper
- He fights for his love ones
- He is very good in bed! Hahahaha!!!
- He cries with me
- He is a good father
- And he spoils me alot

There are still some things that I like and at the same time hate about him but in the end, he will always be forever mine.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY SWEET! A BRIGHTFUL AND SUCCESSFUL FUTURE TO US!
I LOVE YA!

and so the trilogy fight has come to an end

2006-11-19T17:39:00.000+08:00

It is officially over. Manny have ended it. I was just starting to enjoy the fight with all the screaming and clapping, before i knew it, he have already won. i was confused. Then it hit me. Morales have given up. He probably knew that he would be beaten so no use in beating Manny. Poor Morales. I feel sorry for him though. I know he's cute and all but still, i kinda feel sorry for him. But they are both such a good sport. That's a true spirit of a boxer. Doesn't hold grudges to their enemies. a true professional boxers. It just sucks though because we paid 400 pesos for Pay Per view just for 3 rounds.tsk..tsk..haha =) I was expecting to have more rounds so we could have enjoyed it more. but i think that was just it. hehe.

Anyways, CHEERS TO US ALL! VICTORY TO EVERYONE!

On being a Rotary Exchange Student

2006-11-07T15:51:00.000+08:00

As i was browsing in my Rotex photos, it brings back all the good and beautiful memories I had in FInland when i was still 16. I had sssooo much fun, you could not imagine how life can be so damn nice, short and beautiful. I was so naive and innocent then. I nearly backed out because of some personal reasons, but eventually I did and would have regretted it if i hadn't. I would be putting some pics soon on my friendster, multiply and myspace accounts. =) . But for now, this will do. In the photo are: (L-R) Me, Jason(a chinese but grew up in Florida), Anais(my Venezuelan Bestfriend), Daniella(German) and her sister, and last but not the least, Stefan(from NY). This was taken at LAurin Lukio. The school where we went to.

Being a Rotary Exchange Student opens new doors to a person's life. Not only will s/he gains independence but it can transform you into a whole new person. Emotionally, mentally, spiritually and even physically.*I gained so much when i stayed there *winks** But really, it was a very huge experience that i shall never forget. I never wanted to go back home. It was so much fun that I sound like Im exaggerating and overrated. I wanted to go back and this time with my loved ones. 10 months after school, we had a Eurotrip which i recommend to everybody. Who wouldn't go to Europe for crying out loud! =)

Anyways, watch out for my pics soon. Im putting it on on slides in my profiles. There were still no digicams during that time so i still had the film camera. Everybody in the program did =)

2006-10-19T23:17:00.000+08:00

Life is so dull lately. Not that colorful. I feel like im so empty inside.I dunno what i really need right now. Dont get me wrong, Im really happy with what is going on in my life. My marriage, being a wife and mum.

life in general.

This is what Ive always wanted in life.

but there's something missing. Like now, i just dont know what to right.

So empty.

whatever

Happy 3rd Birthday Baby! Mummy and daddy's so proud of ya! Hopefully, you'll grow up a nice and refined young lady =)

Another year for our baby and she's growing beautifully =) I did her make up by the way. She wants to be like mummy hehe...usually she's camera shy but when she's up to it, she poses for the camera and sometimes in a model like poses=)..maglabad ang ulo sa amahan ani pag daku..

She's very intelligent by the way. She never fails to make us laugh. Here are her conversations with her dad:

Yanyan: hala o! princess dadi.

Dad: wer man?

Yan: there o! get cia sa police

Dad: ha? y man?

Yan: bad gurl man cia.

Dad: (singing) happy birthday yanyan!

Yan: (singing) Happy birthday pangit!

She's hilarious and wonderful. She turned 3 last October 2 but we'll be celebrating her party this saturday puhun. Hopefully, by this age, " terrible twos" are officially over.

We love you langga!

Bitching around while shopping

2006-09-26T16:17:00.000+08:00

Last week, we went to our "suki place" in a remote area here in cdo. I always drop by to this place every now and then because it reminds me of tutuban or greenhills but much lesser. Among the stalls, there is one that usually stands out because of the nice and trendy clothes they have. I found two pieces i really like. One is a pink collared long shirt and the other one is a chocolate brown knickers( i dunno how to spell it but its more like shorts but only knee lever) with a cute belt. Its a perfect combination.

My kind.

My style.

My colors.

And it is sooo me. I was so excited to try it on.When all of a sudden:

Me: (while carrying the garments) My, ako sa ni i sukod

the owner(a taiwanese gurl at the counter) said something i cant hear nor understand

Me: Unsa?ha?

Saleslady: dili kuno na pwede i sukod ang usa kai ma inat.

Me: ha?! nganu dili man lugar na dili man unta na puti!

I was soo effing pissed! It caught me off guard. To my surprise, I threw the garments to where i found then and went the hell outta there. I felt insulted and kinda humiliated. Am i fat? or they were just being rude?

In my entire life, i never have problems when im shopping or trying something on. That was the first time. THE BITCH! and its not like it was my first time to but there. I have tried on some clothes there. A suki as we all call it. If that's the case, they should stop selling clothes nalang! Gggrrr....Im still pissed off. I want those clothes badly =(

I was planning to retaliate. To go back there, buy the clothes first then still try it on in their dressing room. Lets see who gets the last laugh. Or maybe I will report them to the BIR. Or just play a bitch fit.

AAAAhhhhh!!! Never Mind! Karma comes to those who are evil. and i dont wanna be a part of that.

Im not satisfied. I still want to buy it. Period.

Confessions of a birthday gurl

2006-09-14T15:31:00.000+08:00

I just turned 26. My god! im getting old. I know. Age ain't nothing but a number right? but still.

When you get a year older, the less people will take notice. I mean, the day of my birthday, there was a bouquet of roses from my staff and a card from jepjep. And that was it. No more gifts with fancy wrappers, no more surprises, no more special treatments( which i always like), no more nothing! boohoo..

I understand that it was a Monday and busy people were rushing from here to there. Maybe i was used to pure pampering when i was years younger like a trip to this and that, a shopping spree from this and that, lots of cash and endless happenings. Just for that special day. But now, a pppfffttt!! so simple, so calm like an ordinary day of mine. It was so plain and quiet.

And then i was getting frustrated. I have to have my little party or so. Dad was so busy at work, it took him days to give me my gift(which i always remind him). And so, the moment he gave me, the party was already planned =) .

I had some friends over and Jeff's friends as well.

I held it on a saturday.

Pics are attached:

a Post Fiesta Entry

2006-08-30T13:44:00.000+08:00

Hi everyone! How was your weeekend and your fiesta? CDO was so crowded noh? there were people everywhere.On the streets, malls, cafes and everywhere under the sun or shall i say everywhere even under the rain. It was good to see the city so alive and happy. Ofcourse, minus the traffic which was very bad and congested. There were parties and booze everywhere. We did not really celebrate the joyous moment because I especially my hubby doesn't like crowded places and too many people walking around back and forth. And in moments like these, hundreds of pick pocketers are on the loose. So delikado. Some of our friends just came over to have some boozing moments with us. And it was fun. Too bad though that the weather was inconsistent. The sun and the rain are arguing against each other. So its good to just have the fun at home =) And after the fun was gone, we had a HOUSE marathon on dvd. It was so good.The Best! Dr.House is so sarcastic yet a good man.

So there. Nothing special happened. Atleast, we were able to eat lechon.so it felt like fiesta =)

xoxo, kat

koreanovelas on pdvds

2006-08-24T20:14:00.000+08:00

Im a fan of pirated dvds * sorry to those who despise 'em* but seriously we're all in a major crisis here and the option for a much cheaper way is purely our prerogative. We find some or almost all alternatives that can meet up with our lifestyles and luxuries and with technologies of today, we are satisfied. Maybe not completely, but just enough to make us smile after a hard days work.

Ok. mag binisaya nako kai mura kapoy na mag sige og ingles. Niadto mi sa akong mom sa divisoria kai naa amo suki dadto.Ganahan man kaayu cia og korean. GRABE! affordable najud kaayu ang mga koreanovela karon. Especially the one they call, dvd 9. Before, mga mahal kaayu ang mga korean.pinaka barato na ang 480 which has 8 discs. kadto pang mga baga kaayu og sudlanan. But now, its everywhere! maka afford najud tong uban na ganahan. Like for me, Im not really fond of korean unless si RAIN ang bida, paliton jud nako bisan unsa ka mahal or sa makaya nako. Like for example, FULL HOUSE. Pangitaunun jud kaayu na cia before, kung mahimo, i order pa nimu sa manila o asa ang ila supplier. 520 pa gani ako palit sauna. pero karon, abunda na kaayu sa tanan og full house which you can buy at a cheap 100 pesos only.pati ang Love to Kill pud. Nalingaw kaayu akong mom kai daghan na ang mapalit niya sa 1000. unlike before na, mura usa ra kabuok mapalit niya sa 1000. Students can buy na from themselves and not ask from their parents.

Anyways, Fiesta is fast approaching and we're eating lechon again! lol...=)

ADVANCE HAPPY FIESTA TO EVERYONE! ENJOY AND HAPPY EATING !!!

11 painful things

2006-08-23T19:11:00.000+08:00

I got this SMS from bf roxy. Maybe you have received it already. Its very nice and true and I want to post it here. Enjoy.

11 PAINFUL THINGS:

Bringing back the feeling you've learned to forget
Reminiscin the good times
Tryin to hide what you're really feeling
Lovin sum1 who loves another
Havin a commitment with sum1 that you know wouldn't last
Fightin back the love you're feeling
Lovin a person too much
Right love at the wrong time
Takin risk to fall in love again
Acceptin that it was never meant to be
What If...

Friends + a good life = Absolute Bliss

2006-08-15T20:11:00.000+08:00

I have been busy seeing with my friends lately. From high school barkadas to college and new found friends as well. Its such a nice feeling meeting different kind of people. from a high class group of friends to just plain, humble and low profile group. I am so blessed to have friends like them. They are my outlet from stress and from this hard knocked life of mine =). Everything is going smoothly and its going to the right direction where i always wanted it to be. Prayers really help a lot. I am now concentrating on how to be a better partner, mother, friend, daughter, employee, business partner and everything. It may come gradually but Im getting there and Im seeing results already. So Im really motivated and inspired to do my best. Im not afraid of rejection and failure anymore. Even those people who i cannot please. For i know, my family especially my hubby will always be there to back me up and support me all the way! I can say also as my birthday is approaching (puhun) and Im getting a year older(agen), Im getting more mature and understand my purpose in life. Although, there are still some things and situations that I continue to battle on, its the spiritual guidance of the LORD that keeps me healthy and alive. That's why as a wife, its my obligation to put God at the center of our family. And for the past few months, it was a success..... =)

a very sickly weekend

2006-07-31T14:21:00.000+08:00

I just had the most unhappy and depressing weekend. The FLU family came over to visit us..tsk..tsk.. so depressing! So much for weekend shopping..sigh! My daughter had tonsilitis last week and the weekend that she was much okey, it turned the disease towards me. I was so pissed off! I had so many plans for the weekend. I had to meet up with my friends for our business stuff and I had to go shopping with my family. I thought I was gonna die right there and then. Poor hubby! He was the one taking good care of me and ou little daughter. I was teasing him that he have 2 beautiful patients on an OFF DUTY nite =) anyways, I hate it when I get sick.When you're a person who has lots of priorities and responsibilities, its so hard to keep track of your time. When you need to get things done and you need to take care of a lot of things, and you're just lying in your room, hopeless, it really gets on your nerves. Anyways, enough about me. I receive a message from my friendster account this morning. And its from a Maiyah, i think. i dont know her and havent seen her around CDO. She wrote that a common friend of ours is copying all of her About Me and Who I want to Meet from her friendster profile. What is it with people who has no originality? Why do some of them imitate their profiles? Cant they just make one of their own? Out of passion? Out of creativity? Is that the purpose of browsing your friends profile? To get her ideas and thoughts and creativeness just so you have something nice to put on your profile. Thats just pure plagiarism to me. And I don't like it either when people plagiarize my work. I put so much effort on it and for what? just to make others have the benefit for it? Thats just bad! To Maiyah, Good Luck and if she considered you a friend, she would have apologized. tsk..tsk.. so depressing!

Random Thoughts part n

2006-07-31T12:59:00.000+08:00

Life has not been good lately. We cannot escape from what they call the "Midlife Crisis". All the pains and hardships are so hard to just let it pass. Its like everything including nature itself is mocking us. I was reflecting hard about how life should be treated. And its not only here in our country i got basis from but from the whole world as well.

Everytime I watch the news,it never fails me to be teary eyed especially the war between Israel and Lebanon. Those poor women and children. They have no other choice but either to live or die in a country where war is a mere playground to them. Being an International Studies graduate, as far as i can remember, Israel (i assume) will forever be confident with her status in this world. A secret ally of the US, she will be very much protected and secured. She will always be nurtured and envied because of extremely oil deposits they have. Hezbollah on the other hand is very much like our NPA guerillas here. But the former is much more powerful than the latter. They should be tracked down and eliminated. Being aggressive ofcourse by killing 2 Israeli soldiers is not forgivable to what they might do with civilians around the world. Lebanon (i assume again) will never get help from their allies which is Syria and Iran knowing the US will be at their tails. But Israel should cease fire because they are bombing and shooting anywhere and everywhere in Lebanon. Civilians are the major victims here and not Hezbollah. But i know that is their deep purpose.Lebanese or not , if you're living there, might as well escape,if you can.
Justice here in the Philippines always SUCKS! Especially when you drive in this city, it never fails for disappointment. What is the right way and a wrong way anyway? When you see something or someone that is out of your way, will you just go on and hit him/her right there and then? just because s/he is on the right track? Geez, drivers are so full of sh*t.
Im so tired of friendster already. I wanted to cancel my account. Some of them are so lame and snotty. and yet, I blog here.SOmetimes! hehe. Im so babaw =) Speaking of friendster, I would just like to add to my friends blog about Profiles Set to Private. I dont get it. I know a lot of people who have registered names and stuff and GOD-knows-what-else they are doing in cyberspace, and yet, their profiles are set to private for their friends beautiful eyes only. I mean, for crying out loud, its just so stupid. If you dont want others to see you, then go ahead,be gone from cyber world. So what if others wanted to see your profile, do something that will really make them drool or stalk. What do you have to lose anyway? =)
My Kiana is growing oh so fast! and FYI, I did not get her name from Keanna Reeves. Keanna emerged her escort service thingie months after Yanyan was born. I hate it when people ask me even jokingly if i got her name from her.Anyways, She is adorable and fascinating. She never fails to put a smile on our face.
I badly want to get out of this place. I want to try new things, live somewhere where no one knows us.I think CDO is not a successful place for us to live in. I hope Im wrong but i feel its dragging us down. Every couple has a successful place to raise a family and be merry. and for me, CDO is not the place to be.

To end this entry, our president at Jaycees has recognized my blog(thanks miss Gean,i appreciate it =)! ) and asked me to write something at our Jaycees bulletin paper for next year. Im not really good at writing. I dread those days when we have essays and research paper in school that i hate submitting it. But lets see when we get there =)

Super Superman returns!

2006-07-04T12:26:00.000+08:00

I just saw Superman Returns and it was worth the wait. He is now officially my favorite iconic character =) My hero! hehe..Brandon Routh did justice in portraying the role. He is a perfect resemblance of the late Christopher Reeves. He is even way taller, bigger and more gorgeous than Christopher. He is also cute when he turns into his alter ego, Clark Kent.

I also love the new Lois Lane. She epitomizes a modern, strong and independent woman. Kate Bosworth is also pretty. Her beauty is of that Jessica Simpson and Natalie Portman altogether. She is one lucky bitch for catching Superman's heart =).sigh.... The movie was really really good! it was made well. I will be waiting for the 2 upcoming superman in the future .

a FUN-tastic weekend

2006-06-28T16:54:00.000+08:00

I had a great weekend last friday and saturday. I had a not so big reunion with my close college friends at blueberrys. The pic cannot be uploaded here.tsk..tsk.. but i had a great time with them all. and im looking forward to see them again.

Saturday was the BIG day. Our fund raising project in JC Bai Lawanen was to hold a concert. We got MYMP and ex-PBB housemate Celebrity Edition, Angela Calina. It was held at the Corpus Christi gym. It was a success. We were the one who got them from the pier and at the airport.

Angela is sooo nice and friendly. Very talkative too. We were like 2 close friends who haven't seen each other for years. " ga apir apir kaha mi =)". and fro MYMP, my gadd!!! please, Juris probably got fame into her head. She is such a snob. I dont care if she is "bilar" like what she said that day but if you're really professional and all,its your obligation to smile and be friendly. We were the ones paying you for crying out loud! and for Chin, the opposite, very talkative,nice and even childish. he's cute too =).

It was a great experience. I wasn't really star strucked =) just feeling celebrity...haha!

here are the pics:

Angela had her rehearsal in the gym. Dancing to the
tune of Sikat and Pinoy.

Juris and Chin with their manager.
At Max Resto.
At Pearlmont

These are a few of my favorite things

2006-06-28T16:40:00.000+08:00

It is redundant to say it again but these are the few of my favorite "food"things =). I love chocolates and this is i think the most yummilicious I've ever tasted. Its name is Chocorich and its an orange chocolate. I havent seen this selling in the markets yet.Makro is the only one selling this so far. The second one is the Blueberry pound cake. Its the best! It has two flavors: Mocha and Blueberry. They are both good but Blueberry's the best. The other one is Sumo wafer stick. I first heard this from Rona and its good also. kiana loves it as well. And last but not the least, my favorite beverage lately is Big M Iced Coffee. It is very addictive! I hardly like beverages but this one's good. It has other flavors as well like chocolate,strawberry and i forgot the other one. These are the type of food that can really make you BIG =)...hehehe...

The month that was MAY

2006-06-14T19:47:00.000+08:00

IM BACK! wow, i think ive been gone for almost 2 months. I was so busy with my vaycay.I'll try to remember the events that happened last MAY in random.

1st week
** Jepjep came back from Manila. We had some quality time again with Kiana.

2nd week
** I had allergies! I can't believe it hit me. I had lechon manok and fish for dinner when in a few minutes i was scratching like a dog! at first, i thought the chiken was old or the fish was dubok so i just brushed it off from my mind. Past midnight, i woke up to feel a huge bump on my right eye. i got up and there i was ,staring at an ugly girl like i was beaten minus the black eye. i looked horrific. and i was red all over like a person who just came out from the sauna. We had to go out to buy medicines and caladryl. I never had allergies before.And the worse part was, Da Vinci opened in theaters. I was so excited to watch it but luckily it subsided and it did not hinder me from watching it that day. I was wearing sunglasses even when i was in the theater. People were staring at me. I didnt care at all. Anyways, speaking of Da Vinci, the movie was impressive but the book was better. and it did not shake my faith like what they have said. its purely fictional so stop all the fussing.

3rd week
** We had our vaycay in Iligan. We did nothing but eat, sleep, go to the beach,timoga and my ever favorite ukay ukay and the mahjong. I also went to the doctor for my allergies since i was still a little red.They did a skin test on me and hell it was painful. To my surprise and to the doctor as well, almost all of the food groups i am allergic to. Even air pollens and dustmite, i am allergic to it. She gave me medicines and i need to take it for 3 months. She said it was for cleansing purposes. And it cost a lot.She old me also that my appetite will be good. And maybe that's why Im gaining weight. Thank you Lord! the time finally came that i will be welcome by the big asses society.hehe=) But really, i did gain wieght and probably gaining still. i have a little bilbil now but i consider myself sexy still..harhar!=)

4th week
** After Iligan, we went home to CDO and left kiana in her lola's place. Jepjep and i have been planning to have our nth honeymoon somehwere nice and cozy.So he invited along his friend and his girlfriend and off we went to Midway beach resort. We spent the night there and we had the resort all by ourselves! We planned it on a weekday so that there will be less people on the beach. And i say the beach was HEAVEN! We rented the glass bottom boat and it was nice. We saw all the beautiful and big corals and ofcouse cute and colorful fishes. We were supposed to go kayaking but by the afternoon, it rained so hard the lightning striked at one of the trees there. Our cottage was the best for me. and the restroom is clean as well. I dont care really if the place is not nice as long as their restroom is clean. thats important to me. Early morning the next day, Jepjep and I were trying our skills in photography. He is quite good. I will post photos soon. I forgot my mini tripod so we were not able to take pictures together. But we had fun! The pool was also free so we just go back and forth from the pool to the beach. Its like unlimited water sports =) We were planning to go to Cebu or Bohol or Dumaguete for some adventures soon.

But for now, Summers over again, back to our routinary ways and concentrate on saving for future travels and fun. I think thats about it.Arrividerci!

A friend in need is a friend in deed

2006-05-02T21:49:00.000+08:00

What is a friend? We all have different perspectives on what a friend is. In my case, a friend is someone to lean on when your sad and lonely, someone who treasures and respects you, someone who will care for you unconditionally,someone who will accepts your flaws and understands your shortcomings, someone who will be blunt about what's right and wrong,someone who will hang out with just for the sake of having conversations and catching up on chikas and ofcourse someone who will stick up to you no mattter what. I have lots of friends and Im very thankful that I have good friends. But lately, I feel betrayed and left alone. Not from my new and college friends, but someone who is so close to me. We were friends since high school and lately i have been confused on what i am to her. I am so good at her. But i don't know why i feel betrayed by her. I did nothing wrong that could hurt her deeply, I am not that kind of a friend. My college friends sense it too about the way she treats me and all. But when we're together, she's very nice and as if nothing is wrong between us. But when we are with our own very lives, she's so different and i feel she doesn't want me to hang out with her.Is it just me being paranoid about her? are my college friends right about what they've said? I am so uncomfortable whenever Im with her lately. And I am never uncomfortable whenever im with my friends.just with her.Some of my friends says maybe she feels envious about what I have. But what do i have? We are both just the same. A good family, a happy disposition, no worries about financial matters, we can have whatever we want, buy whatever we want. We are both so lucky. So why envy? We both laugh at our mistakes and we even praise and appreciate each other. We both say what the other feels about the other. A perfect friendship you may say but now it's different. Its beginning to turn sour. Im trying to reach out on her but its as if she doesn't care. We are friends don't get me wrong. We did'nt fight or argue whatsoever. But I sense it. Im trying to evaluate whether i will distance myself from her or just continue playing games with her if this is really a game for her. I still am confused. My hubby is not yet around to give me wisdom about this. He always enlightens me. My question is, was she ever true to me? or is she true to her friends? What is a true friend anyway?

Oh well.Anyways, Time magazine just released their recent issue about the 100 most influential people today. And I am so happy that RAIN, the korean pop star made it to the list. Click here.
He is such a major babe! He really is that famous and powerful everywhere and rising too. I can't believe he outnumbered most of the popular artists and even scientists that we know who aren't on the list. Pretty amazing!!! I wonder what he feels now...

Full House theme lyrics

2006-04-28T21:46:00.000+08:00

I am so not over with Rain yet. I just finished " A love to kill" on dvd and I can't help but fall for him again. Hence, the photos on my friendster profile. I downloaded the full house themes and i still can't get enough of it. I need to sing it as well. Thankfully, i found pretty good lyrics on the net.I couldn't care less what you might think or say but that's my prerogative so deal with it. =)

Here they are:

I can't help it but i am so "kilig" with PBB's teen edition. They all are so handsome and pretty. They did a good job in picking good looking housemates.It makes us reminisce on our teenage years.And reminds us that once we were like that before. so we can easily relate to their feelings, frustrations and infatuations and see ourselves through their actions.

a busy month for me

2006-04-17T21:05:00.000+08:00

I dunno where to begin. For the past few days I've been doing some pretty strenuous activities. And the moment I finished one, there's another one in my itinerary. and the list goes on and on. But i want it anyway. Im not complaining.I've been trying to keep myself busy and make use of my time so that I won't miss my hubby that much. He's in Manila for his affiliation. And i thought i could'nt bear to be away from him *so mushy =)* but thank God i was ok. Anyways, I've been going out with friends, doing some errands for my dad, helping my sis n law in preparing for college and etcetera. But sometimes when boredom hits me, i can't help but feel some loneliness in me. Ofcourse my little Kiana is always there to cheer me up and lifts my spirit blissfully. In the days that have passed, i come to realize that being both a mom and a dad is very very difficult. I salute single moms or dads who raised their own child alone. You have to have the patience, understanding,empathy, discipline and everything. It's really hard to raise a child alone. You don't have anyone to talk about your frustrations, fears and anxieties. At the end of the day, you just need to be stronger every single day for your child.
I've been active again in Jaycees. It's nice to see and meet new friends again. This week will be very busy for us since we are recruiting new members and a shower party for our co member. We will also be having the induction for new members and a party exclusive for JCI's this coming Saturday. I am so excited to party again since it's been a long time since I really partied out =)
To my exhaustion and due to the heat as well, I have colds and tonsilitis. I can't be sick since I have so many things to do. I have run out of cash already and needed financial help from our bank account.hehe.
Anyways, I am loving my life right now. Thank God for the blessings. Nobody tells me what to do and what not to do. I love doing my priorities and responsibilities. I can now attest that I am a very responsible person. I have slowly eliminated procrastination.

shuush!

2006-04-10T19:23:00.000+08:00

I am a little pissed right now. My internet connection is so weird. Some sites are fast and some are quite slow. Unfortunately, friendster is among them. I still have more photos to upload and planning to change my profile.ggrrr.... and the worst thing is multiply is temporarily out coz of maintenance shit. I hate this! the holidays are coming this week and I don't have anything else to do aside from fasting and praying. Maybe it has something to do with the website literally and not with my network.Im still trying to figure it out. or maybe it has something to do with the memory of my computer..probably too congested with pics and softwares..cant think anymore! Ugh..This is temporarily my outlet for happiness from boredom.and it failed me.tsk..tsk..

Collages for sale

2006-04-04T20:16:00.000+08:00

I like these photos so much! I like collages but Im just too lazy to make one. Thanks to Rona for teaching me the How-to's in picasa." Lab yu rons! hehe.I knew i'll always count on you".

Im just so excited to experiment more on my upcoming photos. Rona is so right. It is so friendly.You never know what you have made already. I might try Adobe Photoshop someday if i have the patience.But for now, a Big thanks to Picasa for the free download.hehe.=)

Mah Gurlfrendzz !!!

2006-04-03T16:24:00.000+08:00

As i was browsing through my friend's friendster profile, i found this. I can't believe she found it and uploaded it in her photos. I was overwhelm to see this again.. =) Mah gurlfriends! We look so fresh and ofcourse, Virgins.haha! The 3 are still so niwang and i look very much tambok compared to now. It looks like we don't have any worries yet about life.No responsibilities, no priorities but ourself, no goals, no ambitions. All we care about is US. It is not only the four of us that are friends, there are 5 more who aren't in the picture. But how ironic it is when we are the only ones who are left nowadays. The Big Four =) Back in HS we call ourselves, PMBP. it literally means "Pagwapa Mintras Bata Pa." i know it sounds lame but thats what we are in HS. We were not the sporty or geeky group but we certainly love dressing up, make ups and girlie stuff. I know we were hated and envied because the people keep on backbiting us. But we can't help it coz we don't care what they think. I can still remember when i had a fight with my boyfriend, i would drag them all to put on some make up. and they were all supportive=) hehe. We even had a code name for sex and it was "shampoo".what's the connection? i don't know either. we keep talking about it until our boys demanded for its meaning. We never told them ofcourse because it's only us gurls who knows it. They keep guessing it but they never got it.

Hahay! i miss High School. but its just so sad though that we only get together once in a blue moon. I miss them badly.

Presently, we now call ourselves, Sexy Moms International. hehe.

March

2006-03-20T21:54:00.000+08:00

mmmm...its been a while since my last entry. quite busy with life =)

March. This month is full of excitement and adventure for most people. especially for students. there are new graduates again this year. I belong to this batch but i changed my mind to walk down the stage. As i was practicing for graduation, it suddenly hit me that i don't want to march. I don't know what got into me but i just don't want it. To hell with "sayang, once in a lifetime bya na. and it's quite difficult reaching there baya". Considering my stay in college, the hardships and all those years, my batchmates have come and go, and im still there striving to finish it. But no regrets though, it taught me a lot anyways. The important thing is I finished it with flying colors =).

Congratulations to me and to Rona. We did it! hehe....

Anyhoo, I am so ready for my summer vacation. Months of work and stress. I need to relax and unwind so badly. Im screaming! All the beach stuffs and finances are all ready. What's lacking are the places and the beach. I have my digi cam already*a grad gift from my parents* so Im really ready to have it all. We just don't have the proper time yet. Jeff is still so busy with school work. He's being impatient with me also coz i keep on telling him that we should go somewhere relaxing already and just experience an absolute pure bliss of fun. My in laws are going to Dumaguete this summer and how i wish we could go with them again. I just love Dumaguete. The place, the people are so laid back. It's like, Dumaguete is the only place in the Philippines that the government has forgotten. If it weren't for Siliman, maybe it is unheard of. The beaches Ive been to there are all clear and the sands are so white,it'll make your eyes soar. Arrgghhh....I am so excited ,it is mocking me =). But i don't want to push my expectations, it'll probably disappoint me. Time is a luxury for us nowadays.

I still have some entry to write about but it takes time so maybe i'll post it next time. For now, this will be it. Have a nice vacation everyone! Take care and be safe...

Tattoo on my mind

2006-03-01T09:17:00.000+08:00

I was watching Full House again for nth time last night*i finally bought my own copy=)* and it suddenly occurred to me that I want to have a tattoo on my right leg.not on the ankles but on the leg. It was weird though because i never have intentions to make it real. I was wondering it before whether i should get one but i changed my mind and convince myself that tattoos are not good and I might regret it later. Ofcourse, i considered the pain it will bring. But last night, I was really willing to go through with it. I can't wait. I heard stories about its pain and etcetera but if it's tolerable, i think i can handle it. I was asking Jepjep to accompany me when that time comes. He was shocked and teasingly told me "ha? gibati kag kaanyag?" but he'll still go with me anyways. just in case, i won't be able to handle pain. I'm still looking for a cute and not-so-big design. a tribal one perhaps or something unique and extraordinary.

I sure hope the needles are clean and safe.know what i mean? that's the other thing that concerns me also and if this future tattoo might hinder me from future traveling or future work or any future stuffs for that matter that requires a clean and neat physique, then maybe I'm going to have second thoughts about it. But if its ok,then I'm planning to have it this March or April hopefully if i won't change my mind.I'm really fickle. But I BADLY want one! before summer comes so i can hit the beach right away =) I'm so excited!!!aahhh!!! i just want to scream right now.

In random

2006-02-24T13:28:00.000+08:00

what is happening to the world? all the fighting,wars,racism are very heartbreaking. Sometimes i don't like to read newspapers or watch television.it just makes my heart bleed. Sometimes the media makes it more nasty and dirty.

The Leyte tragedy is so so sad. I can just imagine children trapped and buried alive.so heartbreaking. And it has always been the illegal loggers to be blamed for. Why don't they ever learn. This is mother nature's way of getting back at them. And i know this will not be the end of it. They will still continue to denude the forests as long as trees are present.

PGMA has declared the country in a state of emergency. All the rallies makes me exhausted. They always find ways to destroy the president but they were never successful.except the Garci tapes but that was it.She is still standing today. The politicians are just wasting their money paying these rally-ers to make noises on the streets and making this country unstable and economically poor. For crying out loud, when will they ever learn? And they are using the anniversary of the EDSA revolution para maghasik ng lagim.tsk..tsk..They should be ashamed of themselves. The first EDSA was worth fighting and worth uniting. It should never be compared to the present.

Oh well.

what really is cartoons?

2006-02-17T10:31:00.000+08:00

I watched Disney channel this morning with my daughter. She recognizes almost all of the characters in the channel.I have always loved Disney ever since i was a child. My parents would rent a betamax tape cartoons since CDO does'nt have cable yet that time *am i that old?* I would watch it over and over again. My favorite was Donald Duck and Goofy until now. I never was a fan of Mickey Mouse. I still love watching them but I like the old ones better. You know, stuff like "silly symphony" and others. I don't like House of Mouse.They are the new ones on Disney. But every morning, silly symphony is on and as i watched it, i realized that cartoons are not that good. I think they even are evil. Like this one time with Donald Duck and the 2 squirrels,they always are chasing each other right? They always make Donald angry by getting and touching his food or things. And they always get away with it laughing and leaving poor donald helpless. It makes sense. Children doesn't understand it yet. They will always be laughing and giggling over what they are watching without understanding it. So the characters of Donald and the squirrels doesn't influence them unfortunately.

i still don't think i like it. but i enjoy watching it =). weird.

V- day

2006-02-16T14:45:00.000+08:00

Valentines day was nothing special for me and Jepjep. For us, everyday is a valentine. It is somewhat an extraordinary day to express and feel love for everybody. For some, it is a day to rekindle passion and intimacy for one another. We did'nt give each other presents anymore. We are so through with that. We just went out to dinner and had some drinks with a couple of friends.

On our way to a valentine day ....hehe

learning languages

2006-02-08T19:30:00.000+08:00

February is world understanding month. Its difficult, however, to understand others if you can't comprehend the words they use. But once you learn another language, a new world opens. You can read newspapers and understand more movies. You can learn more about people's lives, their culture and even laugh at their jokes. And most importantly, you'll always know when someone is talking about you in an elevator =). Imagine how your life might be better if you added another language to it. Then imagine how our world would be better if we all knew another native tongue.

If you have ever studied a second language or traveled to another country, you know how hard it can be to express yourself. Thanks to Rotary, communicating is getting easier.

A long time ago, I had a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity experience. Thanks to wonderful parents that brought me to a new world full of memories, travelling and adventure.

After graduating from high school, I headed for Finland as an exchange student. It was a year full of happy and wonderful memories. Not to mention the sad, lonely and drunken moments.hehe. I had a lot of first time experiences there. * I know what you are thinking =). not that one.you ha, very naughty! hehe.* I had my first taste of alcohol.well, not really first but was very drunk. My friends were laughing at me since i can't walk straight, kept falling down on the snow and was laughing obnoxiously. I also had my first foreigner bf. he was a canadian but it only lasted for 3 days.hahaha. We were never friends after that. hah!Kids! =). I also had my first downhill ski which was very scary and overwhelming. I had my first train ride, first sauna, first ice swimming, first skinny dipping. I probably did almost everything that was outrageous. But still the filipino in me was still present and knew my boundaries. I was also published in a local newspaper where i was ice swimming. It was what they call "Avanto". First, you go into the sauna for a few minutes then you run into the nearest lake where you dip yourself for a few seconds or minutes then run back inside the sauna. After doing that, you feel your body so relax, pampered and floating =).

What makes it more exciting though, was that i learned the language so well. I even get to tell a joke in Finnish. I also understood every word they were saying so they were very careful when they were around me =).

Learning new languages is very exciting if you really are interested to learn it. And it's also different when you are in their country. You ge to practice it everyday with the locals. It is quite hard at first.But the easiest way to learn one is to take classes. Before you know it, you are slowly making an impression of speaking it fluently. And the feeling is heaven!=) .I, for a fact, took Finnish classes and it wasn't that long that i commended and congratulated myself for a job well done.

Being a Rotex is a whole lot of experience. It makes you independent, responsible and makes room for improving oneself. You get to know your strengths, weaknesses,capabilities, talents and so much more. Plus, you get to know a lot of different and new people.Ofcourse, travelling to neighboring countries is a plus. That is one advantage when you are in Europe. I have travelled to Russia, Sweden, Denmark,Amsterdam,Belgium,Germany,France, Austria and Italy. I don't mean to brag but if you ever travelled to these countries, there is really something to talk about and share it to people. These countries are so beautiful and amazing.How i wish i could do it again and this time with my hubby. You get to have friends from around the world. If given the opportunity again, i would go back to Finland and visit my host families and friends. Maybe in the future.God willing. and maybe do a eurotour as well. Who would pass an opportunity like that?! =)

To end this entry, no other student could understand Rotex but a fellow Rotex only.

Gut-feeling

Lately, i feel something out of the ordinary that i just don't quite understand. I'm feeling something big and good is about to come my way. I hardly have these premonitions but i feel that right now, i am waiting for something. Like it was saying to me like "you just have to wait a little longer. this will change your life" or something like that. I don't want to expect anything or assuming anything for that matter. All i know is that I am waiting for something. I just really don't know what it is. I hope it is for the better and not for the worse. But 1 thing is for sure though, it is everyday that i wake up and feel something exciting throughout the day. I just feel so darn good! Thank You Lord!

Anyways, I hope i did'nt ruin this gut feeling by telling all of you who are reading this. They say that if you have something unsure yet, just keep it to yourself first or you'll regret it. Yikes! But, it is only gut-feeling and nothing is involve yet. Am i right? Oh well....

PBB

2006-02-07T20:45:00.000+08:00

yiippee! i am so excited with the coming of pbb again. I was quite disappointed at first because i was expecting to see some interesting showbiz people (babaw noh). but i think it's gonna be more interesting to see them clash their own personalities with each other. especially with personalities like budoy of Junior Kilat and the ever intriguing Keanna Reeves. I was quite confused also because they were not pampered inside the house with all the amenities.

Finally, I have something to watch out for everynight. i hardly watch television for the past few weeks. speaking of pbb, Sam is so darn HOT!! he's very talented and gifted i say. the other housemates are so common looking. almost all of them doesnt have the artista potential.

I wonder which celebrity would win...

Whatever things

2006-01-31T21:54:00.000+08:00

My mind is so empty ! is there such word for it? i know they usually say like " my life is so empty" or " my stomach is empty" or "my wallet is empty" but i never heard someone say " my mind is empty" until now! I don't feel like bloggging!!!! but still I am writing one.

Seriously now, the truth of the matter is i don't know what to blog about =(. You can blame it on our internet connection. We have no access for about 2 months so the urge to blog has subside.

Anyways,I feel so bad about what happened at the stampede. I was teary eyed when i saw people crying and shouting when they saw their loved one lying and covered with white sheets. It is just so sad thinking about these poor people relying on game shows just to have their luck. The network is partly to be blamed for. After all, people have been waiting for 3 days outside ultra and they should have tighten the security. but shit happens. and that's the way it is.

nothing whatever

2006-01-17T15:50:00.000+08:00

Nothing precious has been going on with my life for the past few days. but all i can say is that Im thankful for the blessings that I received everyday. I am satisfied, happy and at peace. Thank You Lord! I am also happy that I am loved by everyone that is around me. All the small things really can make one happy...

Happy New Year !

2006-01-03T12:41:00.000+08:00

Happy New Year everyone! How was your holiday season? have you made any resolutions yet? =) Well, for me, i don't really make resolutions 'coz i end up breaking them anyway. But this year, i want to start everything right. From decision making to procrastinating. I want to be stable in everything and not pity myself for not doing things right.

I promised myself that starting this year :

i would leave grudges ( it's not that i hold grudges, but those people that have caused me pain and sufferings that will always leave a mark)
STOP PROCRASTINATING! Why put something off until later when I can do it today?
Be a better person. No questions asked.
Be a better wife.
Be a better mother.
Attain peace and serenity
Have a happy and satisfying home
To travel more this year.
Have a spiritual guidance from above.

There. I will do my best to achieve these simple resolutions.

Happy Birthday Baby Blog!

2005-12-21T12:48:00.000+08:00

Oh my God!I totally forgot! it was my blog's first birthday 2 weeks ago. Sorry, baby, Mumy was just so darn busy =).hehe. Anyways, better late than never, i say.

HAPPY 1ST BIRTHDAY BLOG! MORE BLOGGING!=)

King Kong

I have seen KingKong and all i can say is "THE BEST"! it was done very well. Peter Jackson is such a good director. Even if the movie is 3 hours tops, it was worth it! It is a year-ender kind of a movie. It is better to see these kind of a movie on screen than to wait for it on DVD. KingKong is not a scary character. not at all. in fact, he is very vulnerable and funny. He is almost the same as a human being's ways and behavior. I was teary eyed during the last part. And boy, Ann can really scream! I also love Adrian Brody as Jack representing himself as a heroic character. Jack Black is good also. His character is somewhat ambitious, goal-oriented,selfish and a deceiver. But he's not really the villain. The only villains in this movie are the dinosaurs.

So, i tell you. go and watch this movie before the year ends.

Ciao! Feliz Navidad!

1 down, 6 in 1 to go =)

My early Christmas wishes

2005-11-29T20:59:00.000+08:00

Christmas is fast approaching and i still don't feel the christmas spirit. I am not that excited with Christ's big day but Im hoping for the better. Even though,'tis the season to be jolly, in fairness, i am excited to give and receive gifts. it's all about gifts, presents, gifts and more presents! hehe..I am now planning on what to give to my loved ones. Lately, i am into personalized things. I want to give them something unique and different instead of giving them the usual like shirts, accessories, bags, etc. But then again, it's still indefinite. Im too fickle when it comes to giving things. Before i know it, i end up buying the usual things.tsk..tsk..tsk.

And ofcourse, how can i forget? I would lavish myself with presents. And i made some list to name a few:

Havaianas - Oh! i would lloooovveee to own 1 or 2 of these. I really can't wait till december. the temptation is so strong! I want them now! But i promised myself that December would be the perfect month to buy them. I just brush it off from my mind to avoid impulse buying. I know it's expensive and all but still, i gotta have one. for curiousities sake. I want to know what the fuss is all about.
Happy Feet - I also promised myself i would never buy such an expensive sandals but then again, just wanted to know whether my feet would be really happy if i would wear them.
a DiVi Cam - a 6-in-1 digital/video camera that includes mp3, webcam,voice recorder and mass storage device. and it's wwwaaayyyy cheaper than buying separately. I also love the style and color. it's very handy also.

Mmmm.. i guess that's about it. for now. i am hoping to get all of these then i would be satisfied.=)

Harry Potter

2005-11-27T09:52:00.000+08:00

We just saw Harry Potter and the Goblet of fire and i think it's ok. not really that satsifying. the effects were good and breath taking. but the movie was so-so.

If it weren't for the movie trailers, i would not probably watch it.=) Usually, whenever Jepjep and i go see a movie, we make it to a point that we go in before the trailers start or before the movie begins. If we did not make it to the trailers on time, we wait for it after the movie has ended. We always are excited to see what movies are coming out soon. Like for example, last night, we hurriedly rush off to the cinema 'coz we were almost late. Thankfully, we got on time and saw almost all of the trailers. We saw Chronicles of Narnia, M.Night Shymalan's new movie "Lady in the water", the very cute animated Happy Feet( can't wait to see it) and ofcourse, Superman Returns. But the trailer was very bitin , patikim lang siguro sa mga audience. =) But, i can't wait to see it either. I think it is well made. not to mention, the guy behind the suit. so captivating. His beauty gives justice to that of the late Christopher Reeves. nice body, nice profile. everything.! So exciting!!!=)

anyways, gotta go. got many things to do.Enjoy the holiday tomorrow!

I have noticed that the month of November is difficult for everybody. With all the EVAT being implemented already and prices are rising, it is sad to see that everyone is affected and suffering. Take for example, the DVD musliman fronting Mcdo divisoria. They are my "suki" and i always visit them whenever i have nothing else to do. They told me that a few people are buying their DVD's unlike before that their negosyo is very kusog. You see? Even DVD's are very "mingaw". and to think that these are part of people's vices.

Anyway, I recently joined a civic club called the Junior Chamber International Bai Lawanen. Its somewhat a baby jaycees. My friend insisted me to join and so far, its good for meeting new friends and extending your connections. They usually focus on social responsibility, entrepreneurship, leadership skills and fellowhip. We will soon be having our induction on December 9. Pics will follow.

And so, I was thinking that maybe i should stop blogging for a while since my situation is still unstable for the moment. And i don't want to have a blog that is full of pains and difficulties. i dunno yet.

Ok. I think that's about it.

2005-11-14T09:30:00.000+08:00

I had one hell of a week! I don't want to elaborate but that was a heartbreaking,energy draining, hope clinging experience of my life, of OUR MARRIAGE life! I can say that there are still people out there who exist in this world that instead of helping(as what they have implied), they are invading,prying and mocking a couple's relationship! For crying out loud,it is not for the good of me anymore but for the good of my husband and my daughter. Our little family is at stake here. I cannot afford to lose it.

I am emotionally, physically, mentally unstable nowadays. I am asking guidance from Above on what to do. I dunno where it will lead us but we are hanging on as always. I feel so empty and lost.Hope whatever decisions we make, may it be financially or physically, this will be the last and right path for us to take.

I am madly in love!!!!

2005-11-01T17:19:00.000+08:00

This is BI or RAIN.
He is so damn cute and sexy!!!! I just can't get enough of him.Not to mention, the BODY baby!! I may sound so cheesy or lame but honestly speaking, i am madly inlove with him. I have never liked a celebrity before like i do for him now.Never been this so obsess about a star before. but I really do like him. A lot.I seeked a lot of information about him on the net. I want to know everything and anything about him. He is a rising star in Korea nowadays. And he's only 23 years old. He started out as a singer and became an actor and model.Isn't he adorable? He's not really that good looking but his charms,confidence and sex appeal will leave you no doubts about him.

it all started with this Korean telenovela, FULL HOUSE.
It aired at GMA early this year but i wasn't able to watch it because I'm not fond with koreanovelas even upto now.

My mother-in-law was the one who introduced it to me recently. She bought the complete episodes on DVD and convinced me to watch it. Since i don't have anything else to do, i tried to watch it. And since then, i was really hooked with it! The genre is romance,drama with comedy and I can't stop watching it. The moment you finished the whole episode in the cd, you just have the need to go on even if it consumes your daily tasks. I have to have my own copy of Full House. I could go on and on. Not to mention, the soundtrack. It really adds emotions while watching.I can't help crying and laughing at the same time.

Its RAINing in my heart and Im looking forward to his future movies and koreanovelas....AJA AJA FIGHTING!!! lol

isn't he so yummy in the picture?=)

and now it has begun...

2005-10-28T20:24:00.001+08:00

hahaha! I am so darn happy, excited,frustrated and whatever all at the same time.I am officially entering the so called "career path". =)

When i got my final marks this afternoon, i was depressed of what if i did not make it to graduation, but I did! such a relief.=) . A deep excitement occured to me inside. I can't help smiling while i was walking in school. I just have this big smile on my lips! It is officially over!!!Thank you LORD!

But, right now, Im still jobless.Don't know what i really want. Don't know if i can find a job.Don't know if i can make it in this new field.Don't know if i have the discipline to work it out. Lots of fears and anxieties. Arrgghh... but Im taking my time,not really in a rush but then again, I am kinda in a panic to get a job 'coz Im not getting any younger and I have lots of priorities and responsibilites. Not to mention my family, my lifestyle, his lifestyle...it gives me the shiver whenever i think about it.

Darn.I wish making money could be that easy. If i will only win the lottery.......nah, GOD would probably not let me win. I don't deserve it. What the heck am i talking about?! murag lotto naman ni atong gi storyaan dah! =)

Anyways, Im just plain glad that Im through with college. I just hope things will turn out the way i planned them to be.

just a short one

2005-10-27T21:44:00.000+08:00

just came back from a brief stay in iligan. nothing much happened there. just having the luxury of relaxing and bonding with family and friends. some time to unwind, think and reflect on things that have been happening. like cellphone batteries that were being charged to be ready for the next consumption. and Im glad i convinced Jepjep to take a break. He wasn't interested at first to go home but at the last minute, he finally gave in =).

That's about it. a brief post.

You Are 60% Weird

You're so weird, you think you're *totally* normal. Right?
But you wig out even the biggest of circus freaks!

How Weird Are You?

HAHAHAHA! I CAME ACROSS THIS WEBSITE AND I TOOK THIS TEST JUST FOR FUN AND TO KNOW IF WEIRDNESS IS PRESENT IN ME. I WAS LAUGHING WHEN I SAW THE RESULT. QUITE CONTRARY TO THE RESULT, I KNOW SOMEONE WHO IS EVEN WWWAAAYYY WEIRDER!!!LOL.

Your Hidden Talent

You are a great communicator. You have a real way with words.
You're never at a loss to explain what you mean or how you feel.
People find it easy to empathize with you, no matter what your situation.
When you're up, you make everyone happy. But when you're down, everyone suffers.

What's Your Hidden Talent?

THIS ONE IM NOT SURE WITH. IT SAYS HIDDEN TALENT RIGHT? BUT FOR ME, I HAVE SOME COMMUNICATING PROLEMS OR ISSUES. I DUNNO. I THINK I FIND IT HARD TO SPEAK EASILY. MAYBE IN SOME WAY, IT IS REALLY HIDDEN BECAUSE I TEND TO THINK A LOT.PHILOSOPHIZING AND REFLECTING ALWAYS ON MY DAY TO DAY BASIS BUT ALSO ALWAYS FIND IT DIFFICULT TO SAY THE RIGHT WORDS. IN LAYMAN'S TERM, I AM SO SLOW IN REASONING. I GET DEFEATED ALWAYS WHEN IM WITH PEOPLE WHOSE REASONS ARE SO DAMN GOOD. I KNOW REASONING IS A LONG PROCESS BUT I AM GETTING THERE. IT ONLY EXPLODES WHEN I AM FURIOUS AND IN MY UNADULTERATED RAGE. EVERYBODY WILL REALLY BE AT MY FEET. BUT THAT IS ANOTHER STORY.

Sometimes things happen for a reason

2005-10-10T18:18:00.000+08:00

Last saturday night was an eye-opener for me and Jepjep. Here is our story:

I was waiting for Jepjep to come home that night. At about 10:40 pm, i received a text message. It was from Jepjep. His text message said: "Ma, na accidente ko. naa nko lnk 2 supprt atbang dal-a ang tools." I immediately called him to know if he was ok. and thank God he was.

I immediately rushed off to where he was and had this imagination of the car being so wrecked and all. But as i arrived at the spot, i was quite surprised that the car was still in shape but the 2 right mags were quite damaged. I found Jepjep sitting beside the wrecked wheels and was really livid. He kept telling me what happened and still was furious. In my thoughts, i was assuming that he was all in drama because sometimes he does the "drama act" once in a while. So, i wasn't listening to him and was really pissed off about the whole thing that i was screaming at him on the sidewalk with all the jeepneys passing by.We were both screaming at each other not realizing what he had been through. Finally, i calmed down and tried to sympathized with him. We went back to the area where the accident took place. There were a few people gathering on an injured person. As we got closer and asked them about the incident, we were quite shocked that the person's face was drenched with blood! He too was a victim of debris that were scattered all over the roadways 20 mins. after Jepjep's incident. Luckily, we were there to helped him and assist him to the hospital.

The night was an eye-opener for us. I for a fact had mixed emotions that night. Having the virtue of fortitude as part of my character, I broke down into tears infront of my hubby outside the hospital. I realized i was so wrong when i screamed at him and not trusting his every word. Shame on me for being so selfish and self-centered. He was also happy that he was still alive and still with us. He now realized the hardships we had been through for the last couple of months. He now understands why i always acted that way. And what made me cry after a heart to heart talk was when he said that me and Kiana are really his life. Everything he's doing now is for his family and family alone. He admitted that he was so driven with ambition and so prudent with the future that he forgot the real deal of what he was sacrificing for. The accident made him realize the importance of his family in his life. And thank GOD he's back! =)

I am so at peace with myself again for a very long time. After all the pain, hardships and suffering, i can now attest that these will all just pass along.

It came to me when i realized that, that man who was drenched with blood,was supposed to be Jepjep's blood if he wasn't quick enough to turn the wheel and probably hit on at the back of the truck. It gives me goosebumps whenever i recall that incident. It reminds me of the movie "Final Destination" wherein the accident of the former slides up to the latter. uuhhhhh!!!!GOD FORBID! SIMBAKO LANG!!!

Happy birthday, Kiana!

2005-10-04T18:49:00.000+08:00

It was Kiana's 2nd birthday party and we are so proud of her! We had a children's party at Mcdonald's Limketkai last sunday afternoon. She was so hyperactive! She was always dancing, running around, shouting and entertaining people. For her age, she knows how to make people so fond of her. I guess she inherited her PR from her dad. She is also very wise and brilliant. So far, both me and my hubby did a good job in raising her well. It is never too early nor too late to teach your child good manners and right conduct.

To Kiana Julianne Carreon-Gaite, Happy Birthday Sweetie!
We love you!

Here are some men in her life : =)

Kiana and Nicco (our neighbor)

Kiana and her Dad (watching DVD)

Kiana andDaniel ( My bestfriend's son)

Kiana and Jerenie ( her only cousin)

The things we do for love

2005-09-29T10:19:00.000+08:00

Why am i in so much pain lately? I really don't understand why it is so hard to be a better person when in fact i have tried(GOD knows how I've tried) to understand and realize that same situation months ago. It is all coming back again and it is killing me inside. I really can't help it. I have tried to brush it off my mind. I am not happy and definitely not at peace with myself. It is affecting my health, my relationship with my daughter, and my marriage. It is crushing my heart. I find it so difficult to breathe.

Why is it so difficult to let it go and just understand? is it because Im selfish, full of pride and insecure? is it because i have'nt heard what i wanted to hear for months now?is it because i do not have enough assurance from my hubby?or is it because i am so much relaxed that i intend to think so much and being paranoid?Or worse, i am just in so much drama.I really don't know! is it true that if you really believed what you wanted to believe,it really is difficult to understand and see the light.

My husband loves me so much especially our beloved daughter. And i love my husband so much, it is killing me. I can't imagine this family to fall apart. NOT in my wildest dream! I have asked guidance from the Lord to enlighten me on what really is going on. Sometimes, i hate this little voice inside my head telling me what i see and hear is true and the other little voice is telling me, im just being paranoid and full of shit! AArrrgghhh...i don't know what to think anymore! My friends and his friends are just laughing at us whenever we have big issues coming about our marriage. They do say we are the "IT" couple.

Hahay!I feel a lot better already. Sometimes, it is so much nicer to just write everything down than to say it. =)

If you have anything to advice, feel free to do so. i love comments, reactions or criticisms =)

The Plastics

2005-09-21T17:54:00.000+08:00

Back in high school, we established a bond between our individual selves with other people. Soon, we formed a group which we call "barkada". Within this barkada, we tend to do and share all kinds of things even thinking the same stuffs. From bitterness to blissfulness, pain and sorrow and everything in between. We always remind or even swear to each other every plans we have made to be together no matter what. The rivals of another will always be the rival of all. That was high school and it will always stay that way.

But through the years wherein change is constant in this world, we only had memories to reminisce and sigh. It has been almost 10 years since we were still giggling and crying over spilled milk and so many things have changed. Some for the good but some for the bad. It is sad to say that although there are still some of us that are willing to stay and communicate, there are also some who have grown into different persons and seems to be forgetting everything we have been through. We don't mean to pry if that's what they really want but at least the acknowledgment of plainly just being friends. It is quite shocking and and a bit of treachery when we offer our friendship to them but in return we receive only a lame and persuasive smile.

Are friendships really meant to fall apart? Are we capable to do that? Do we just let it go and go on with our lives?

As I grew older, I try to understand and accept why some of the things in our lives are not the way we wanted it to be. Friendship for me is not tolerating nor prying. When we sense something wrong or even heard something bad about a friend, it is good to talk about it personally to avoid grudges and bitterness. Misconception will always be the reason for breaking a friendship. In the end, damage has already been done and the possibility of a reunion will be out of the question.

Burn Baby Burn!

2005-09-19T20:30:00.000+08:00

I am so happy! I finally know how to burn cd's! yeah, i know, "so what" right? I have been longing to learn these kind of stuffs. We can finally download any songs we want. In this way, the contents in the cd are purely our favorites. We can also use it as a business LOL! But hey, it really is an advantage. We only have to buy blank cds which is wwaaayyyy cheaper than the pirated cds we buy outside =). And the good thing is we don't have to worry about destroying our audio components!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!

2005-09-13T17:18:00.000+08:00

I am 25 years old! and i feel i haven't accomplished anything. Although, personally and financially, i am really blessed, Thank You Lord, but career path, i am not satisfied yet. I still am looking for what i really want for myself and the good for my family. But hey, no regrets! My life here on earth is full of wonderful and beautiful memories with spices of pain, bitterness and such. I have a wonderful and supportive husband, a loving and beautiful daughter, true friends, understanding and helpful parents. I could not ask for more =) God has been good to me....

Climbing to maturity is one tough call. Philosophizing about everything and anything that comes in our way. But i have learned true wisdom and that is the wisdom of happiness. There is no other way to live fully but only through the key of happiness. In order to achieve this, we have to free ourselves from jealousy, insecurities and bitterness.And we are at peace with ourselves. I know it is quite easy to say and difficult to do, but practice and asking for guidance from God will help us through. =)

Here are some of my pictures taken a day before my birthday at Loretos.

My hubby and me doing a manyak thing!

And presenting my Gurls! Since we all are married and have beautiful babies, we call ourselves, Sexy Moms International! Whenever we have gatherings, we talk about our babies most of the time. We tease our husbands and vice versa. It's like one big happy family! Nowadays, we are taking bellydancing lessons. and we loved it! such a sexy dance!

Finally, after impatiently waiting for a month, it is finally here in our home. With all the cursing, complaining and blabbering about a company's way of servicing customers, Wifi wireless internet is actually working! ;) it took us a month to wait for it to really work because of complications of this and that. What they said was true. twice faster than dsl, no more dial-ups and it comes with 24/7, unlimited, nonstop, infinity of use! isn't that awesome? =) Now, i can blog easily and write whenever i want to.There are so many things i would like to share. Hopefully, there will be no interruptions so that i can fully indulge myself in the blog world.

FIESTALICIOUS

Last fiesta, i was so baboy! talk about gaining weight, for 3 straight days, we were eating lechon and still i haven't gained a single pound! I was eating on the highest level with the packages of cholesterol, hypertension and diabetes. it's the first time i was eating without inhibitions and limitations. I usually worry about not eating the right and healthy foods but i did not care about anything else but to gain more weight. For other girls, especially the big ones, it's hard for them to lose, maintain or minimize their eating habits.it is the same for me also. I have a hard time gaining weight.but maybe in due time, i will eventually join the " Big Asses Society " and eventually complain for being so big like them =0 hehe =).

OH, BROTHER!

I have to admit, although it all sounds so mushy, but i love watching Pinoy Big Brother!=p You get to see their different personalites and characteristics. My hubby is so opinionated whenever he watches it also. You can see how each of them clashes their identities with each other.It gets so exciting and frustrating all at the same time.and i love the team song as well! you just can't get enough of it. =)

NIGHT LIFE 2005

Sheesh! it has been so long(way too long!) that i went out on a saturday night date with friends like before. I never expected to see so many men and women with the likes of having a daring sense of fashion! is this the new generation they are talking about? or is it just me and my getting-old age? Nowadays, it just feels so right to be in a tight, comfy place with the few, selected friends of ours. It gets so dizzy and irritating when there are so many people,new and old faces. Instead of having fun and making good conversations, you tend to twist your neck, exercise your eyes and probably enjoy the view =) So I'd rather stay in a place where i get my full attention and conversation from my friends or better yet, stay at home, watch Dvd's,surf the net, play with my daughter or simply be with my family. =)

Im back..

2005-08-09T13:32:00.000+08:00

i dunno how long i've been gone from blogger.it seems time flies so fast,( really fast!) these days. As the days passed by, i have this intense fear of what the future will bring. I dunno why but every single day i find myself in a state of paranoia. But what is it Im afraid of? is it because Im graduating soon and a dilemma of finding a job will soon come?or is it because im afraid something will happen in the future that will probably kill me? or Im just afraid to experience pain and betrayal again? or am i experiencing what they call the "anxieties of life"? I am not certain but I am the type of person who keeps everything to myself and finds it difficult to express what is going on in my head and in my heart. This is what Jepjep and I always argue about. Its hard for me to communicate when we talk about matters of the heart and deep deep very deep situations. As far as i can remember, i was brought up to mind my own business and that practice turned into a habit and eventually turned into my characteristic. I guess i am a private person in my own little ways. =)

Reminiscing

2005-07-20T08:46:00.000+08:00

Oh how time flies so fast! I can still vividly remember those times when Jeff and I were in the process of getting-to-know-each-other stage like it was yesterday =) Not to mention, with the presence of music that added the spices of the formation of our girlfriend/boyfriend situation. And that was almost 5 years ago. Everytime the month of August is approaching, i always reminisce the past during our sweet stage. Let's admit it. The first part of a relationship is so sweet and so committed that we tend to lift our toes (aka the princess diaries when Nia kissed her friend). Those were the days when we still don't have priorities and responsibilities to attend to. Always were so easy and relax not minding what's going on in the world. Then ofcourse, we got into the situation wherein we realized that we wanted to grow old together. Thus the marriage. Then, we were blessed with a beautiful and wonderful daughter. Life can't get any better than this. =) It was like only yesterday that she was so small and innocent,learning her first walk,having her first tooth,saying her first word (which was papa) and so on. She will soon be turning 2 years old on October 2. Everyday, she's learning new stuff and we are learning from her as well.

Everyday,the goals and ambitions that we are headed to is so clear to me. The future is right here grasping in my hands. I know we will be going there.

Hahay....

2005-07-13T08:53:00.000+08:00

What the hell is going on with the Philippines? I am not an expert when it comes to politics but i do know what is going on. We keep on changing our President not for the good of the country as they always say but what they can personally benefit or gain from it. "They" means the opposition or the leftist. I am so tired of hearing news about the faults and corruption of this and that. They are all hypocrites and traitors. They are all the same. I don't know if they ever realize that they are the main cause why the economy is such a slump. Why don't they just leave the President alone and let her serve her country the best she can do. They wanted her to admit the gloriagate tapes and yet when she apologized for it formally in public( she is the first President to apologize btw), they condemned her, call her names and such. tsk..tsk.. Anyways, this is what i think. It is my privilege and freedom to express my thoughts and opinions so no harm done.

Life so far...

2005-06-22T08:41:00.000+08:00

Life so far is one heck of a ride. I have been reflecting lately that this year is not too good for me and my marriage. I know we are not perfect and trials has been testing us for the past few months. They say that from the moment you step in to your 4th year of marriage , trials are so hard to eliminate even if you try to avoid it. Its a cliche but i guess its true. The pain and sufferings will continue to arise once you tolerate a situation that is definitely intolerable! I say that communication is the key even just to alleviate the pain that is pile-ing up inside of you. Sometimes recent issues and situations that is experiencing in one's marriage is what the couple needs inorder to renew a stale and frigid marriage. The important thing is whenever a spouse senses something wrong in his/her spouse or in the marriage, they both have to talk and find a solution whatever problems that maybe. even small ones. The point is inorder to have a healthy and growing relationship, communication is always the key. I rest my case......

What a day!

I had a blast yesterday with my 3 of my closest friends! We have long been planned to have a "mother's day out" just the 4 of us and finally yesterday was the day. We had dinner at Pjoes at Limketkai and we talked about birth controls, giving birth, our children, friends and of course THE husbands =). Its quite hilarious to think that we have come to a stage that all we talk about was our experiences in our marriage.the do's and don'ts of it. Before, we used to talk about boyfriends, enemies, pre-marital sex, make-ups etc. hahay! those were the days!

Goodbye to a wonderful doctor

2005-06-14T16:22:00.000+08:00

I just heard that my ob-gyne was killed last Saturday. I was really sad because she was a very good doctor, approachable and understanding. in short, i am very comfortable with her.In terms of her professional fee, it really was affordable so you won't complain after you got your services from her. I didn't give birth the normal way so we had to do ceasarian section. We only paid more than half of the standard price for the C-section! She was very negotiable too. I had goose bumps when i saw her on the local news yesterday, already in a coffin with her picture above. I heard it from my bestfriend first and she said it sounds like my doctor. so i really want to confirm it and then of course there it was on the news. Now, i have to look for another one.Someone nice and understanding like she was.

Mr.and Mrs.Smith

2005-06-13T15:40:00.000+08:00

Mr. and Mrs. Smith, kudos to Brad and Angelina. This is the movie that started it all! I say they look good together even if they both deny that there is something more and deeper than their characters in the movie itself. it's sad to think that Brad and Jen ended their marriage but if passionate Pitt will really end up with the voluptuous Jolie,I should be thanking their taste for choosing a beauty so envious and not to mention delicious in the eye of the beholder =).
The movie is about 2 world class assassins who has a stale marriage. They both hid their real professions from each other until they were assigned to kill one another. Being married myself, it's funny to think that their marriage is so violent with all the "weapons of marriage destruction", i cannot imagine seeing my marriage like that lest the guns and daggers. and i don't think i can put up with a frigid,stale and hypocritical married life for five or six years later =). But in fairness, the movie is great and entertaining. Jepjep and I teasingly call each other, Mr and Mrs. Smith.

Random Life..

2005-06-03T17:32:00.000+08:00

damn! everyday for the past few days, i have been wanting to blog. so many things have been happening to my life and wanting everyone to read about it and as usual gossip mongers tend to share slash backbite it to their friends. hehe. sad. but true. isn't it? :) but that's life. we cannot please everyone. anyways:

Gadd! we finally saw Star Wars III: Revenge of the Sith( i love the title! gahi kaau! hehe). Now we know why Darth Vader wears the suit and helmet. Everytime a scene from Anakin and Padme enters, it's so touching eventhough some part of it is somewhat cheesy but still,i get teary eyed once in a while. especially to the fact why Anakin chose the dark side. like what Yoda said "twisted by the dark side, young Skywalker has become" . The Sith used Anakin's fear and anger to turn against the Republic and the Jedi council just to save Padme. In the movie, there is one thing i learned and that applies to humanity. I have learned that MOST BAD PEOPLE ALWAYS THINK THEY ARE GOOD PEOPLE. if you think about it, it really is true.
We are so happy nowadays. we finally have a car. although, its second hand but still its so convenient especially now that we have a child, its part of a basic commodity for us. it's fuel efficient too.
We just arrived from a 4 day vacation in Iligan. we needed to take a break and relax because Jeff is having his badging soon so when duty comes, it's gonna be tough and a quality time with the family will be tough also. As usual, whenever we are in Iligan, we play mahjong, badminton, watch DVD's, shop, and of course the everlasting UKAY-UKAY!!
My daughter is so "maka-lingaw" na! sobra! she is very talkative and can't stop blabbering!Sometimes, we really have to be careful of what we say because she easily catches it up and make awat to everything she hears. especially the bad words so we are so careful with the cursing whenever she's around. Everyone is so fond of her. even strangers. I think her PR is to the extreme. talagang nag mana sa kanyang ama :) Whenever she did something bad, she would say sorry and hugs and kisses the person. She is so sweet. BUYAG LANG!I think so far Jepjep and I really raised her well. We make it to the point that whenever we are at home, we make sure to bond with her. She is also friendly with other kids and loves to be around with people. Whenever there is a family gathering, she is always the center of attention and the entertainer. If only i know how to put videos in blog, you too will get fond of her. :) it really takes your stress away.
Mmmmm...what else? Oh, after graduation( PUHUN!), i am planning to take up the civil service exam so that i can join their Corruption.hehe.NOT!..but seriously, i am interested to work in the government. and hopefully, maybe next school year, i will take Professional Education so that when we get to immigrate abroad(puhun napud!God willing), i will be working as a teacher there. its the second job that is in demand to nursing you know:) but whatever and whenever it will be, God only knows what is best for us!

whew! that is it for now! i think im quite satisfied with what i have wrote :) Arrividerci!

it's been a while...

2005-05-23T12:34:00.000+08:00

whew! i have been gone from blogger for quite sometime. I just don't feel like blogging.Anways, summer is almost over and Im trying to get jiggy with it. For the past weeks, I am not at peace with myself. I guess life has been so cruel lately. My daughter is the only one that can cheer me up for the past few days. Nothing beats like being a mother. ...that's it for now. I'll be writing soon.GTG....

new glasses

2005-04-14T15:20:00.000+08:00

I went to an eye doctor recently to have a check-up concerning my eyes. I have been complaining about having blurry visions from afar. I used to have eyeglasses before but it's for correctional purposes only. Years before, i only have astigmatism and consistent use of my eyeglasses will help me regain my 20/20 vision. but due to hardheadedness and lack of discipline, i only use it for emergency purposes. Until i lost my glasses and needed a new one. The doctor told me that my eyes are already 125. I dunno what the hell that means but i know it's quite serious. she also told me that my nearsightedness is unfortunately permanent. I have to use this consistently for 1 week so that my eyes will get use to it first. Then after that, i will use it if needed only like driving, watching movies or television. can u imagine? using glasses in watching a movie? it's madness to think that a screen so big isn't enough to make one's eyesight perfect. geez... but does it suit me though? i chose a frame that would be perfect for my face and not old enough to look at.

FOR THE PAST FEW.....

WEEKS

i have been wanting to blog for the past few weeks but to no avail. finally, here it is.

The month of March was the most hectic and disastrous month for me this year. i was rushing things and trying to finish everything i have started. There were also plans that were cancelled and that lead me to depression * slighty crying and huge tantrums*. During holy week, as what i have said in my last entry, was very depressing. we were having this countdown to boredom. everything went out of hand.
Jepjep and i had a huge and unusual fight. we fought over a stupid thing that lead to throwing of dvd's, remote controls and everything that i can grab to. luckily, no one was hurt. That was the worst fight ever and it would be the first and the last. and we promised we would'nt do it again. he was crying all day till night because of what i did. but i apologized already. as what we have promised before, we had compromised with each other. we never allow a fight to go on the next day. before we go to sleep we make sure that everything is alright and we kiss and make up. :)
My cousin graduated finally.

DAYS

Our pontiff, Pope John Paul II has passed away. I felt bad because he really was a good pope who served us well. The longest and most travelled pope in history. we will surely miss our world leader and never be forgotten.
Prince Charles and his mistress are finally married.
Back to school again for the nth time.
I got an interview at the Link2support call center last weekend. but the exam was pretty hard. what are they looking for anyway? computer analysts or product support representatives? damn them...

Hope i can still have my vacation with my family. Life has been pretty rude and harsh. need to relax and unwind...

what a week! what a month!

2005-03-28T20:08:00.000+08:00

GOD! My holy week has been the most terrible, boring week in my entire life! i was very cranky during holy friday till palm sunday. i was crying cause i was so pissed with my parents. Jepjep and i wanted to go to the beach and relax but then my boring parents wanted to stay home and have the usual holy week activities.i mean it's ok and all. the important thing is to reflect. but then again, they refused to let us borrow the car because of terrorist attacks blah blah blah! ggggrrr. im still not over with what happened! everything was so shitty!*pardon my french* jepjep always say let's charge it to experience nlng.ggrrr and double gggrrr...

happy easter anyways!:)

Manny Pacquiao

2005-03-22T19:57:00.000+08:00

I saw Manny's game last sunday morning on pay per view. My mom actually paid for a pay per view so that she will know the result in pronto.she got tired of watching the sports channel on cable tv which has a lot of commercials. so without any further delay, she got a pay per view on the last minute. even days before Manny's game, she was so excited for the upcoming game. she's a boxing fanatic especially when it comes to Manny's games. she just stayed in her room the whole morning watching the game.she didn't even have her lunch.
Jepjep and i watched also since he's also a fanatic. and so the game began. I got attracted with Erik the first time i saw him during one of his games. and before the game began, i got pity for him. since deep inside i know, Manny will knock him down. but i was wrong. we(at home) were all wrong. we underestimated Morales and his moves. in fairness, he was really good. I just got very sad for Manny. because we all know how he have trained and everything just to win the game. and of course, for 3 straight years, he never lost a fight. an exception of course when he and Marquez boxed years ago.the decision was a draw. we can say that the big reason for his lost, was that his right eyebrow above his eye was cut open due to a headbut(not sure with spelling) and cause his vision to blur due to the dripping of blood down to his eye. after the game, we were all shocked and nanghihinayang for him. but it is not a championship game anyways. its just a ranking game.
My mom and jepjep were blabbering about it the whole sunday after the game. i got so deaf already with all the this and that of Manny. until today, they were still talking about it. but Manny did a good job by not letting the filipinos down. he fought until the last round even if he was injured already.

i was shocked!

2005-03-11T13:12:00.000+08:00

Someone i know died recently. at first, i thought it was one of those rumors that is most likely to circulate just to be talked about . i texted her barkada if it was true. Unfortunately, it definitely was true. I was shocked and had goosebumps. it was hard to believe because even if we were not that close, she was so friendly and talkative. a very outgoing and adventurous person. i was really sad because two of her friends survived( hopefully, the other one woke up already) and she was the only one taken. we really don't know when will GOD claim us. May she rest in peace with the Lord...

it's been a long time since i wrote something. i dunno. i think i was just busy with life.duh.but really i don't know what to write that is blog worthy.sometimes i would attempt to write everything that has been happening to my life or everything that has been in my thoughts but i end up backing out. but life has been good.thanks to the MAN ABOVE. i just hope that my plans will push through this year. I have always been an optimistic person so i don't get frustrated easily.
The Lenten season is early this year and fast approaching. time again for fasting and repenting. Usually, we go some place where me and my family could spend time together. and ofcourse, doing lent activities. Jepjep and i would usually join his family also. we would spend holy week in the beach.sometimes, spend the nights there. but this year no plans have been made yet. so i will just post our events and ofcourse pictures soon.
Technology is really great when not abused. i for a fact am a gadget lover. from cellphones to PC to notebooks to PS. simply everything that i could learn from and be entertained. it is just so amazing that when you have the technology, you will learn a lot and even do some experiment to expand your knowledge. take for example, Games. nowadays, games isn't about just playing when you have nothing to do. it takes time and energy. you will need strategics and techniques to win a game. so ofcourse, the mind and brain has to be fully charged to be able to think. this can actually help a person's logic and reasoning believe it or not. but the point is, we should never be left behind what technology has to offer because life nowadays is always changing. we never know what the future technology will do to us next.

motivated

2005-02-23T16:33:00.000+08:00

i have never been so focused in my entire life. lately, i have alot of things i want to accomplish. hopefully, God will lead me to a job that is really meant for me.i have always been a positive person. and every instincts i feel right now says that i will be successful in everything i will do. if the flow isn't that successful, i always perceive that good things will come to those who wait and believe. :)
