It's Official......

I'M ON

HIATUS

Here's why I haven't been blogging for the past 4 weeks now, see it's gonna be March in 2 days and I really haven't posted anything. My blogging muse has temporarily evacuated my mind and has probably gone off to a vacation somewhere. I don't have the inspiration to blog now nor write decently in my papers. I just have no bloody idea why. :(

I'm really really sorry to my blogging mates and sisters that I haven't visited you guys for a while. Hopefully by the time the semester ends, I'll have gone back to my senses and continue blogging and put up a new layout. I do have a new layout, it just hasn't been experimented on yet.

I'm really sorry my fellow sisters :( Thanks still to those who still visit and think of me once in a while :p Somehow I'll make it all up to you guys. Things have really been going awry and I'm having a quarter life crisis here. :((

You can still check me out at tumblr, multiply, facebook(my friendster is officially dead), ym (ask for it and i'll PM ya :hehe) and of course Plurk. ADD ME GUYS!! But first introduce yourselves kay?

Peace out! :cool

Bro's Back!

Phew! That was kinda hard to compile :P

As you can see guys, my downloading addiction has SPREAD not only to movies, but also to music. It all started when Izza, my blockmate, showed me her ipod and I saw that all her albums had cover art. So I got myself GimmeSomeTunes which finds album art and lyrics automatically on mac. I also saw some artists that I wanted and also begged her to USB them to me and bless her heart, she did!! :p Yeah thanks Izza! (i didn't list them down na, too many...)

And then I realized the beauty of downloading my fave singers and bands again so there, for 8 days, I was in a downloading frenzy and this was the result. Haha and my search has not finished yet! :p So guys, if ya want me to download some stuff for you, i'm your girl! :p hahaa

I forgot to share that I was the Candy Chic on the month at Sis Aisha's Beauty blog! haha. It was really flattering because I never really thought that I would be one in any site at all... lolz! haha :p Here's a pic! It's only up to January...

Ooh it's me at ze left sidebar! :P

.....meaning it's FEBRUARY NOW! CRAP!! I'm almost gonna turn a year older! OH DEAR!! This is bad.......

And brother dear finally returned after 5 months yesterday!! We celebrated by eating -- YES! MAY KATULONG NA AKO MAGUBOS NG PAGKAIN DITO! amm soo faat naaa :(( -- at SuZhuo resto (yum yum!!). My brother actually GOT THINNER and I feel so ashamed.... man... i must really lose some weight! Now the house is noisier again, and I have someone to bug again! Oh joy! But his situation... hmm.. I don't know if things will change.

But am glad he's back really. :p He also shared some stories about Portugal and some quirky anecdotes. Like how the Brit spoke in Heathrow (London) airport over the P.A. system, "...and for everyone's convenience, all unattended baggage will be DESTROYED!" Imagine saying that in a BRITISH ACCENT. Ang sabaw noh? LOLZ! PHAIL!

Here's a pic! haha evil-looking eh??

Well i kinda forgot what the other thing I was supposed to blog about... lolz! Next time na un! :p hehee

Updates when I update! :cool

It's Time For That Season Once Again!

2009-01-24T14:56:00.001+08:00

Sometime events in a year happened repetitiously or with a cycle such as new year and etc. But there's this really one event that I have been tuning in since grade 5 now and that's.......

THE ACADEMY AWARDS/ OSCAR AWARDS SHOW!

That little golden statue has been held for 80 times now and it will be the 81st time now this year. Since I make it a point to at least exude a vibe of "movie blogness" in my blog coz I am an avid fan of films, I try to put in reviews or movie news here in my blog. :hehe I just can't help but talk about movies...

There have been a lot of speculation about the nominees before they were announced and most of possible candidates were those nominated by the Golden Globes but.... surprise surprise, favorites were NOT chose. Here are the complete list of nominees from theMovieBlog (my oldest favorite movie blog site but not my fave blog critic). my comments are in // (nahawa na sobra sa Computer, lolz!)

Best Picture

“The Curious Case of Benjamin Button” // Okay, I wasn't expecting this, not this MUCH!

“Frost/Nixon” // haven't watched yet so.... can't really say anything

“Milk” // DYING TO SEE THIS!

“The Reader” // They say it isn't as good, 68% lang sa Rottentomatoes

“Slumdog Millionaire” // OMG YOU SHOULD DEFINITELY WIN! Those who haven't watched this are MISSING LOTS!

/** Some are quite furious why Dark Knight and The Wrestler weren't nominated. I loved the Dark Knight, I really do but it wasn't enough to save itself from a few bad acting and URGH plot holes. There was really something missing in there FOR ME. I did wish that Christopher Nolan was nominated for Best Director, but TDK earned nominations in the right places (the Academy still credits it!) But I was surprised that The Wrestler wasn't nominated. It was a REALLY beautiful film!

Wall*e.... why weren't you nominated?? Urgh!! But how the heck did "Waltz with Bashir" (a foreign animated movie) get into the Best Foreign film category while Wall*e DOES NOT? And Persepolis only won Best Animated Film last 2000 something. Sighs...

School's really sucky yesterday. I officially WANT MATH TO LOVE ME ( i don't care if I'm going to sound like some crazy girl in an unrequited love, BUT I HAVE TO!) and am going to study WITH FORCE on computer. And midterms are on Tuesday. BOTH MIDTERMS on the SAME DAY. Isn't life great?

NOT.

Well I have this thing to look forward to this summer vacation...

//repost from Tumblr

In case you can't read the blurry pic... it's.... the ITINERARY FOR THE SHANGHAI TRIP! think this Shanghai trip that will be
sponsored by my uncle (well ung airfare and it helps my parents a lot!)
will push through! He already made an itinerary haha. I really can't wait because I haven't been on a plane for 2 years and it's just so exciting! It'll be my 2nd time to go China and this time, to a real city. Last time I went was to Fu Jian (our province) and it's really provincial there. His family moved to Shanghai after being transferred sa company
niya to a higher position. Dati nasa Denmark siya hehe and sayang di
nakavisit doon. But it’s OK! Shanghai is good!

I’m going with my other uncle’s family! Mum and dad can’t come coz
of the dogs and business. (haha parang pasingit lang ako oh, - Pls have
Tiff tag along nalang. lolz!)

Olllaaa my friends! Again, I have been MIA the past couple of weeks due to SCHOOL STRESS, STRESS and MORE STRESS! hehe If you guys visited my tumblr, I have a pic there of my planner which was instantly filled the minute I got back to school. Practices, projects, trainings and paperworks have now become my flesh and blood. Going online and chatting with you guys is just one of the perks. Now I have to finish my FINAL draft on my English research paper and I hope to God that it's OK! hehe. :p

Anyway I was in the mood to blog. I mean I've been meaning to blog coz I found these AMAZING innovations on the internet. Who says that the youth and society are getting dumber? NO EFFING WAY! If people could mass produce mini-shelter homes or a bag-chargers, then the world would be a better place. Look at these fantastic creations

The Uber Shelter

"Dismantled, the Über Shelter looks like a large gray gurney. But this
compact pile of aluminum unfolds into a two-story home, complete with
lights, stove, porch and a small refrigerator. Rafael Smith, a senior
in the industrial design program at Purdue University, designed the Über Shelter for his undergraduate thesis project.

On a vacation in Manila the summer before he began the project, he was
shocked by the crushing living conditions of those in poverty; when he
got home, he began researching the architecture of shelters around the
world. With no previous knowledge of refugee camps, he sought the
advice of doctors, policy makers aid workers and a Sudanese refugee he
met online."

Soo Cool! It's just sad that it was inspired by Manila in a bad way... well it's now good because it could hopefully solve a few of our problems (and he might send a few free ones too! hehe).

SOLAR BAG

"Joe Hynek may be the only student at Iowa State University
who carries a handbag for “scientific purposes.” On cloudless days, he
wanders his neighborhood to test whether the purse, which is plated in
thin solar panels and contains a lightweight battery, is absorbing
energy from the sun. After three hours of direct exposure, the purse
generates enough electricity to charge an iPod, camera or cellphone.
(The bag will also charge — more slowly — if placed next to a window.)
Mr. Hynek is currently working on the final touch: a small display
screen that will indicate when the purse is best angled for absorbing
the day’s light."

I'd love to have a bag like this! Man, you could charge anything now and it'd save you LOADS on electric bills! hehe just wish they'd improve sa design pa. :p hehe

ELEPHANT STUFF

"Lily Chong and Matt Kalish, both 21-year-old juniors majoring in
industrial design, thought about interactive toys for the assignment,
perhaps two tigers whose eyes would light up when a child touched the
paws together. Then one day the class was critiquing student projects,
and someone dismissed an idea as “That’s so gay.” As students debated
whether the phrase was offensive, the professor stepped in to steer the
class back on topic. But some students left the class feeling awkward.
You couldn’t just ignore the issue or bury hurt feelings.
Ms.
Chong and Mr. Kalish started thinking about elephants instead of
tigers. Rather than being the figurative thing unsaid, maybe an actual
elephant in the room could help people talk about difficult subjects.
They came up with the idea of stuffed elephants that would communicate
via wireless chips buried inside their soft centers. If one person in a
room squeezes an elephant for three seconds, all the other elephant
eyes light up. “It lets everyone know there’s an issue, we have to talk
about it,” Ms. Chong says. The person raising the concern remains
anonymous. "

It'd be a cool giveaway and a neat tool for learning in my opinion. Plus it looks SUPER CUTE!! goodness! hehee

I've also expressed here in my blog my admiration of a few people, namely Robert Downey Jr., Johnny Depp, Bill Gates and especially STEVE JOBS (co-founder of Apple AND Pixar!!-- my future job place! well i like to think so anyway). My lappy and panda-touch wouldn't be here right now if it weren't for him. Microsoft would just be boring if they didn't have any competition at all. Jobs brough something to the game! I just read an article on the latest TIME magazine concerning the possibility of Jobs' retirement (GASP!) due to his health problems (hormonal imbalance thing, he had pancreatic cancer then, grabe... hope he's OK..). Now we've seen Gates' step down from his mighty position and Microsoft is still on the roll. But what IF Steve Jobs leaves Apple? MacWorld survived the experience without Job's notable Keynote address which was instead precided by Phil Schiller, a candidate for the next CEO if ever Job's retires. He did a decent but without the "presence" of Jobs. Jobs was an innovator and everyone simply have to lend their ears to this Houdini who has LOADS of things to say.

I do hope he gets well soon.. I mean Apple still has a lot of potential! Now that it has covered mobile phones, they might probably go into printer/scanner/whatever things. He'd probably create a new line of something spectacular... so hopefully the imagination of Apple doesn't die out yet... PLS!!!

Sorry for the passinate rant. I'd love to work for Apple/Pixar but with Steve Jobs still sa head! hehe.

I've actually have a lot more things to say. Like the time....

.........I ERASED THE TRASH BIN WITH MY 37.9GB WORTH OF DISNEY/PIXAR MOVIES!! (55 movies in all!!) So yeah, I had to download them again. 5.11gb down. 32 more to go!!
.........I GOT OUR CUTE PERSIAN KITTY NAMED KATY/KATIE/KITTEY
.........I watched the OPENING specials of AMERICAN IDOL SEASON 8!! (i still don't see THE ONE. But Michael Castro - Jason Castro's younger bro - is CUTE! haha :P)
.........our Ateneo INTACT Exposure trip with street kids!!
.........NINTENDO DS is ALIVE once more!!

More happenings from me in tumblr! Pls do goo viisit! hehe :p Follow me there and I'll follow you too! :P hehe

Well have to go now! EEP! ALMOST 7PM! haha must do research paper!

Got a myyearbook thing too... hehe Add me!

Hey guys!

I've been neglecting blogger for a while and have been tinkering with tumblr more! I just can't help it because of the ease and the minimal hard work I have to put through. Whenever I do a blog post, I always have this plan of what to say, how it's going to be said and such. :P hehe. At least with tumblr, a sentence-post won't be unusual but of course, my lengthy posts are sort of evident there too so PLS visit me there too! I'll definitely update it EVERYDAY because of Project 365. Actually it's also a place for my movie news, book news and more! hehe :P It's a really cool to-share site. Visit and follow me guys!! :p hehe

Anyway, here's a VERY SHORT video blog. An announcement of sorts. hehe Sorry no effects here and it's even cut off! I decided to have a cut off video... just to spice it up?? LOLZ! Cliff hanger eh. hehe :P

Vlog# 8 Announcement-ing! haha from Tiffany K on Vimeo.
Another announcement, I've actually joined Sis Aisha's Candy Chic of the Month on Candy-Blush.net! It's kind of a big thing for me since... I don't really join these stuffs. But I do love the tips on Candy-blush.net like the one on the berries that could help you slim and the other purposes of petroleum jelly! hehe. Go join too guys! It would be fun if all us girls here could join :P

I've got a health tip to share too. Have you ever struggled for sleep on some days? I mean you just lie awake on your bed and counting sheep doesn't seem to work. I recently just had this problem but it was cured instantly. After not being able to sleep after 15 minutes, go to a quiet and dim place and just do some reading or have a cup of tea to calm yourself. The milk routine also works and you just need to drink a warm glass of milk. You'll feel sleepy a little bit and it's off to dreamland and sheep! hehe :P

Visit my tumblr nalang guys, I posted there about my exciting news! Such as the revival of my 12-yr old piano keyboard, my training with Buffy (my pet african grey parrot! hehe :P) and more! Pls do visit!~ I'll update this blogger around 1-2x a week! hehe :p Well tc now guys!!

Updates when I update!! :cool

Yey! I got a New Year present from Ate Yesha!! Aww ang cute niya talaga sis!! hehe Thanks ah!! *hugz*

Hey guys! EEPZ!! Sorry I had no chance to do a video blog! urgh, so sorry! I was capturing some videos on the eve of December 31st but sadly... I thought they didn't seem too nice.. lolz! haha Coz there were the booms and screams of fireworks and all that commotion, but let's see. I'll maybe upload it :p haha!

But I did get to do a Tumblr account!! I find the word tumblr to be unique and different even though the familiar tumbler would just mean... a container of some sorts. Who cares? It's such a weird word. Haha! Anyway I've converted this into a photoblog and I've joined the Project 365 c/o Ate Gel and I will post a pic EVERY DAY. That's the challenge right there! So guys if you want to see some action every day, Go follow/visit me there!

But wait... I have no cam.... BUZZ BUZZ BUZZ... haha Fortunately MOM AND DAD GOT ME ONE!! Whoot! OMG, grabe the first things that came true are the ones I thought most impossible to get.... Geeshh.. maybe I should put everything on my wish list as impossible....like the IRONMAN DVD WITH SPECIAL FEATURES.... haha :p

Canox IXUS 870 IS (we got the gold one! coz...la lang)

Anyway it's a CANON IXUS 870IS!! hehe We got it for a bargain (imagine, nacut-off ung price for 9000php!!) at Quiapo at Henry's Camera (advertise advertise!). Dad decided to buy a camera when he saw our neighbors HOLDING A SLR CAMERA AND BIG-ASS LENSES! So you know, male pride kicked in and he said that we should have one too. But we're not professionals yet so there, we just got this and I DON'T REGRET it! hehe The images are amazingly clear and the video too! Love love it!! hehe. I'm gonna name it Camm-y just because... I'm a bad namer :( Or goldy...

Wow, this new year had been really different for me for these reasons:

1. Big Bro wasn't here. He was off partying in Portugal... LUCKY GUY! bwahhaa but he didn't have that much to eat as I did! bwahaha!!

2. I ATE NONSTOP FOR MORE THAN A WEEK! It started on Christmas Day and it didn't stop until Jan 1. AND NOW I'M A BIG FAT ARSE... *cries and laments*

3. We hopped to relatives' place more than usual. First it was at my mom's side. And I got to bond more with my cousins there. haha! Pls check out my multiply album for rare family pics! haha :p And then we went to dad's side amidst problems with grandpa... uh.. those are more personal things. And I got to bond more with my cousins too! :p hehe.

4. We had no fireworks. As in NADA, not even lusis, the magic wand sparkling things but I was still happy. Our neighbors never cease to amaze me with their fireworks especially those at both ends of the street. grabe! You thought that they were holding a contest or something. Haha and our next door neighbor had around 5 Sintoron ni Hudas (Judas belt, you know the really LOUD ONES). Almost became deaf again that night. Too bad I was the only one excited. Mum and Dad just wanted to stay inside. I braved the smoke and noise alone.. :((

5. We went to A LOT OF PLACES ON JAN 1~! hehe Far places pa. First we visited our soon-to-be pet parrot named Gray (coz again we have nothing better to name it...)

And then off to Cainta, Rizal to check on Queenie's bros and sis

Then to Tagaytay-Batangas to EAT OUT. Grabe si mum! hehe we almost got lost noh coz the place was SUPER SECLUDED as in it was at the dead end... lolz! haha YUMMY food though! :P

No exact pic :P hehe Kaya puro Carp nalang!

Hehe well that's it. I'll be posting again soon coz... BACK TO SCHOOL ON JAN 5 and frankly, I'm REALLY NOT READY! Really... hehe :p

Oh here's something to be amazed at...HOPE HE JOINS AI! And speaking of AI... American Idol month na nga pala!! OMG!!!

Updates when I update! :cool

2008-12-30T14:03:00.002+08:00

...How do you measure...measure a year?? lolz!!

RENT! Wala lang, hehe my kabarkada Chair is supposed to watch it and write an adaptation for their play and since New Year's coming, I couldn't help but remember it. *sings*

2008 was a great and not-so-great year. Full of mixed feelings, full of super ups, and full of super downs. My super-ups include getting into college and meeting cool blockmates, finally selling that broken down home(long story, maybe I'll blog about it once i'm ready), tons of debuts and my own 18th bday!! whoot! haha And my super downs like being more detached with father's side, not getting into dean's list, having fights, etc.

So it's mixed.2008.

I'll be posting a video blog on the last day of this year!! So wait for that! hehe :p Add ko nalang siya sa post dito :p And I'm gonna share something BIG in that too! lolz :p hehee

I can't think of any inspiring words to say for the year ender. I'm not a great-achiever (even though I'd like to be..) nor a spiritualist like Mahatma Gandhi and not a nobel peace prize winner. I'm just Tiff K and Tiff K will try her best to make a worthwhile post. Worthwile last post :p

I find that the next year is full of possibilities. As much as we want a hassle-free year, there's actually no such thing as problem-free philosophy, hakuna matata, etc. lolz! Sorry for destroying a family friendly film but there really is no such thing... anyway. I got this idea from the movie Last Holiday starring Queen Latifah. It's not Oscar-worthy but this little film is just special in my heart because... I would sort of say I'd do the same thing too if I were her. And I can't imagine knowing that you'd die soon... what would I do? What would we really do? Georgira Byrd in the film conjured up this 'Possibilities' book while living and she pasted her dreams there, how she'd go Czech Republic, marry her crush sa store, meeting the famous Chef Didiere and etc. Little did she know that they would all become a reality as long as you just put your heart to it. I mean do we really have to wait until we receive the news that we'd die, to do our "possibilities"? Do we need to know that Oh, I have cancer and then do it? Hmm.... I don't know, its just a thought that's bugging me anyway.

So I'm gonna share my own possibilities that I hope would become a reality next year. Call it a resolution or what (but I don't wanna call it that, I'd be breaking them if I did), well here's the list:

1. Get into the DEAN'S LIST. It's a possibility I hope. =) I messed up my first sem and I hope by Lord I don't do it this 2nd sem.

2. Download and watch more special and artistic and substance-filled movies. I wanna be a film connoisseur! And read more books! Definitely!

3. Find *cough*heart*cough* I hope that through all the coughing, you'd get what I mean. Lolz :p haha AS IF.

4. Make more blogs and vlogs! Hopefully a domain??

5. Be of a more Computer whiz so that working in Pixar in the future won't be just a dream...

6. GET ORGANIZED! I don't know how... maybe fix my bookshelves... or something. urgh!

7. Meet someone famous! STEVE JOBS FAMOUS! (ahhaa, parang impossible ata mga ito)

8. Hope that bro gets something good out of Portugal and bring home some stuuffs!!! whooot!!

9. Get CATS in the house!! Kitties!! :p

10. Family troubles will be settled

11. More blessings for my family and friends! :P In any form...

12. AND OH PLS OH PLS LET ME LOSE WEIGHT. PLEASE BECOME A REALITY!!!!

Goal: 115-120lbs. MY GOODNESS.

haha I don't have much of specific things listed except maybe for number 2. At the end of next year, I hope to be able to reflect on this post and then make a comment. See what's happened, what's added, what's erased. haha :p

So guys, hope you have A WONDERFUL NEW YEAR!!! In with the new and keep the old safe and warm!! Well throw out the old bad habits :p hehe. Wait for my vid guys sa Dec31-Jan1! hehe :P

So question, what are your possibilites?? Was 2008 good for you??

Updates when I update! :p :cool

CHRISTMAS DAY!!!

2008-12-26T08:47:00.001+08:00

There is no other alias for it, no other name for it but....

CHRISTMAS DAY!!

Yeap, it wouldn't especially be complete without CHRIST in Christmas! It's the Lord Jesus' day today and I can say that it has been a blast! Praise and thank the Lord! He has blessed us today so much..

Even though I was a bit emo yesterday. Okay, make that A LOT EMO. I was watching pa the vid here that our Literature teacher showed us. I LOVE THE SONG! Creepy, eerie and cool!!! GO BJORK!!

Björk ft. Thom Yorke - I've seen it all

I recently heard that my friend's dad and another friend's mum passed away... and mum's friend's mum also passed away and a blockmate of mine's grandpa is in a very bad condition. It kind of makes you reflect how fortunate you are. It reminds you of the REAL meaning of Christmas. To share your joys with the people you love. And it's such a hard time for my friends to be in such grief during the Christmas... I hope that they are OK..

And I hope that my brother makes the right decision... and hope that history doesn't repeat itself... this story is another discussion I'm afraid. And a gloomy one at that so I won't continue anymore and just..

GIVE OUT MY CHRISTMAS MESSAGE TO EVERYONE!! whoot!~ hahaaha

First ever Christmas Wish List

2008-12-14T22:00:00.001+08:00

Hi guys! hehe just to clarify, the last post was a paid-to-blog post but I really do mean every word there, I would love to have a Rockband set and the Patapon game on PSP! (but i don't have a PSP...) wahhz!

And here's more downloading news! Here are the latest additions to my movie downloads:
52. A Scanner Darkly
53. Happy-Go-Lucky
54. Let the Right One In
55. Tinkerbell
56. Memory Keeper's Daughter
57. The House Bunny
58. Shrek the Halls (short film)
59. Shawshank Redemption
60. Little Children
61. Death at a Funeral

I've been blogging for a long time now and I've never done a wish list. Maybe it's because I know people wouldn't be able to get me the things I want (uh, i was a kid who had unreasonable wishes, lolz! well i still have them! hehe) or it was too much of a hassle. But I realize on the day we were drawing lots for the block exchange gift giving that it was sometimes necessary because people needed guidance too on gift giving so they wouldn't waste money. I already have a gift for that special blockmate (yeah! it's gonna be soo cool! hehe :cool) but i didn't concentrate on my wish list on my ballot. I was in too much of a hurry since I was the head fascilitator of the group during that meeting. But here's a list, maybe still a bit unreasonable, but I hope they would come true. This list serves as something that I really desire or want this year.

1. Ironman Original DVD (kahit not exact casing)

Okay, today's the day when I proclaim my fandom for.......IRONMAN! Okay, not the comics, not even the plot or story (well except I really like the character of Tony Stark! Brains, Charisma, a good heart, looks!!) but I've become a superfan of ROBERT DOWNEY JR.

Grabe ang galing niya sa movie! He was the main reason why I enjoyed Ironman so much~! And I just realized what an incredible actor he is! If you've seen Chaplin, Zodiac, even Tropic Thunder, you can't just ignore his CHARISMA and GREATNESS! gosh, i thought i wouldn't like him in Tropic Thunder honestly but he pulled it off! My gosh. So yeah, now I'm a super fan. I will watch all his movies from now on (next on list is A Scanner Darkly) and of course, his next movies, The Soloist and Sherlock Holmes! hehe.

Oops this has become sort of a fan rant, lolz! well I would love the DVD because of the SPECIAL FEATURES! You might wonder why a pirate-er like me would like to buy original dvds when i can just rip it off or go to our suki sa Divisoria and buy a dvd there, but THEY wouldn't have the bonus features which includes DELETED and ADDITIONAL SCENES, Commentaries, Behind the scenes and of course, RDJ'S AUDITION VIDEO! haha. so please, if you really want to make me happy this Christmas, grab the Ironman dvd! haha. There are a lot of versions but as long as they have all the special features, i'm happy with it! Kahit walang case, ung CDs lang! haha :P

2. Cornyness earrings

My friend Danwei makes these uber cute clay earrings!! I have already bought from her way back around 2 years ago and the earrings are just beauties! She just added a new collection and I've got my eye on the Momo earrings (my Momo earrings are lost! wahhzz), or Bear-head earrings, or Toasty earrings or Chocolate Cookie earrings! aww they're soo scrumptious!

3. Boshi-Basiik Hats

I've always wanted these since I stepped into the blogosphere. I stumbled this on Danwei's shopping guides i think and I fell in love with the adorable fleece hats!! Call it impractical, useless or whatever, I still want it because of the cuteness!! *dies* I don't even mind the design, it can be anything coz they're all just screaming CUTE!!

4. A Yellow Bag (No picture)

I'm a bag-a-holic. If you've read one of my old posts, i've passionately already discussed my love for bags. I've already collected various hues of bags: red, purple, striped green, navy blue, white, tan, gray. Yellow has been a color I've been contemplating on getting but.. I just can't seem to find 'the' bag. Every single yellow bag was small... and I needed a BIG BAG for school since I'm the bag lady, for some reason I just need to put lots of stuffs in my bags so each bag tend to way a few kilos. Urgh. So there. I'm wishing for a yellow bag this Christmas :P hehee

5. Mini vacuum cleaner (No picture)

I was with mum at Debenhams one time and they had these super cool (and EXPENSIVE!! it's europe's dept store rin eh) toys esepcially this ducky stuff toy which you can strangle and it produces quacking noises of plea. And if you press its hand, the little ducky would walk and dance around! Ah, children's toys nowadays are really something noh? hehe. But i didn't want that ducky, what caught my eye was this MINI (as in literally mini) vacuum cleaner! It looked like a vacuum cleaner shrinked to the size of a 7 inch toy. It was perfect for a desktop cleaner and KEYBOARD CLEANER! Or a cleaner that can catch the dust in little small spaces and the cool thing is that it's USB-powered so no batteries needed! I can't find a picture online though... A mini vacuum cleaner would be nice...

6. Geek Shirt

These shirts would definitely make you want to BE a GEEK! haha. I super love the CompSat's Geek shirts but unfortunately... i still don't have one... sighs..

7. COOKIES!!

Lots and lots of cookies!! MRS. FIELDS COOKIES!! The cookie store right in front of our stall noong tiendesitas... BASTA COOKIES!!

8. R4 DS Cartridge

My DS is getting lonely since I haven't been buying any games now coz... I find them expensive... So i thought why not a R4 Cartridge? I can just download games and play them!! ehhe :P

9. (Start of extremely hard to get wishes) Bose Head Phones

YES!! THE BOSE HEADPHONES!! Preferrably the Quietcomfort ones but that is SUPER IMPOSSIBLE.

10. And the most impossible of all.... SONY/CANON CAMERA!

Any latest Sony Camera and Canon! I've lost my camera (the old one buti.. it was a bit buggy na eh) last semester at school and I've just been stealing photos again... it's nice to hold your own camera... I do wish i could get another one....

Well here's the list! I do hope some would come true... i do hope....

Questions for you to ponder guys!
What's you top 3 Christmas wish list this year?
What's your top 3 REALLY UNLIKELY wishes this Christmas?

Updates when I update guys! :cool

Shopping for the Kid at Heart

2008-12-11T21:06:00.002+08:00

I'm still a kid (well i would like to think so anyway) since I haven't crossed the border between the teen to the -tee so yeah, I still act like a kid. Especially this season of love, generosity and hope!! I do love the Christmas season and I especially tend to get carried away with it. Especially the gift giving and receiving part...it's the kid in me you know.. So I can't help if I would want a new DS game or a PS3 game or a set of Rockband instruments perhaps? I've recently found a love for that game since you can actually play like a real band - as a group and sing/play your heart out without actually disturbing the song. Cool ain't it? haha. So I've got a shopping list of video games here which I found at this awesome site called ShopWiki.

I would also want a PSP you know because of that Patapon game which Honey Lynne lent me during the leadership program. It's such a weird and interactive game! You can't help but sing along to your little tribe, "Pata-pata-patapon!!" or "Chaka-chaka-patapon!!"!! haha That made me laugh so much!

And PC games, how can I forget them. I mean they were the reasons I first went to type the keyboard at the wee age of 8! I'd play Jumpstart all day long and I'd learn at the same time. I also got hooked to the very first PC game, doi, The Sims! Man, even though it bored a lot of people out, I quite enjoyed them. Gosh... haha.

I guess now it would be more tempting to buy because of....SHOPWIKI! It's such a useful search directory/engine to all the shopping stores that you can find! I mean they give you the power to search with the range of prices and show stores that give the best deals! There are also guides to help you pick the best game for you there. There are also related searches which will give you more choices to choose from. And if you sign up now, you might get an ipod nano. Whoa!

Now if I only have the cash. Seriously though, i want to buy a new DS game or at least a UMD. My DS has been hibernating for a long time. I must bring it out of the shelf and give it some exercise! hehe. I'm going to post my real wishlist here soon. I've never done it before. I guess I must try. Hopefully I'll be able to buy at ShopWiki next time! :p

COLD and YEAH

2008-12-07T11:25:00.002+08:00

Haha hello again guys! Wow my first every written post in weeks! I figured that if I were going to do another vlog, it would take another 2 weeks because of the hassle, secrecy from parents and um... oh yeah HECTIC SCHED in school! So here's a written post! weee! :yay

So much has happened as usual after not being able to post so long. I've been active as usual on plurk though, so go browse through my timeline and check out the crazy things I've done. goo here and PLURK PLURK and multiply!! haha lolz :p

Thanks guys for still visiting me!

Princess Bride
Marie Antoinette

Over 51 titles!! (not counting the individual Saw series and Anne of green Gables) And of course I plan to add more there! I'm really trying to build up a library of movies since... i'm not rich...and I can't buy DVDs like my uncle (I swear, HE HAS TONS OF DVDS, all original!! and he doesn't like to let us borrow... as in SHELVES AND SHELVES of DVDs!!) If you guys want me to burn you a CD of a movie, or if you want me to download a movie for you, I'd gladly do it! I'm also selling some DVDs here (pIrAtEd BUT DVD quality since I want the best, even if it comes cheap. Ang demanding ko noh?? lolz!) 35 a piece, or 3 for 100 :p

I'm currently downloading 5 more movies! wee, I've got a list here of movies to watch! I'm targeting but classic movies, the type that never grows old. I know that they're so hard to look for in dvds, even in pirated form. So there... I hope to get more movies! I'm also currently downloading 50 Disney movies at once, so about 37.5GB, and i've downloaded 25% of it. lOLZ! A few more months to go!! :P

Twilight! lolz I watched it 2x already but I refuse to blog about because... a lot of people already did. I'll just say that I enjoyed the movie, I love Jasper and Carlisle (uh Rob Pattinson isn't my type of Edward... sorry fangirls!!) and Alice (she was so cute right?? haha spunky!) and that Bella in the movie was BETTER! Urgh I hated Bella in the books. Sorry...

Bah, I still blogged about it. It could have been better though... the acting and all. They shouldn't be THAT low-budgeted in the next movie right? What I enjoyed in the movie were the reactions of the audience. Grabe, i laughed more at all that squealing. tsk tsk. LOLZ!! :haha

The past weeks have been hectic, really. English research paper has been constantly on my mind and there's still the Filipino one too. sighs.. hope all goes well.

My friend invited me to join her in her business venture in one of Ateneo's oganizations, AMA (Ateneo Management Association), since it was open for all (i'm not on a management course you see). I decided to give it a go since I love selling. I love to have a business (oh dear, am i on the right course? lolz!!) so i guess this would be an experience and that IT WAS! I was at tiendesitas from Friday night to Saturday (8am - 7:30pm) trying to sell and attract customers (thus I have no more voice lolz! another reason why no vlog) and we did pretty good!! Except for the christmas treest packaged chocoballs. In case anyone wants a good gift idea, pls comment and I'll contact you immediately! I'll show you all the pictures and everything :hehe . Overall it was a REWARDING experience. I've seen happy customers, grouchy passersby, uh.. lazy stall keepers (there was this stall that didn't even to look for customers. weird) and all. It was quite embarassing coz our stall seemed to be the NOISIEST of the lot since I guess we're one of the few freshmen there but who cares? We kinda sold a lot more! haha :P

Well thanks to those who went to Tiendesitas! I know I've been a bugger on plurk coz I kept on plurking that. hehe.

Well tc now guys! Next time I'll be posting my CHRISTMAS WISH LIST! I never made one before but... I think I will now. :p tc!!

Updates when I update!:cool

P.S. Notice the cold breeze that we sometimes experience now?? LOOVEE IT!! Sana pls wag uminit... wahhhzz :wah

Xin de yue ding

2008-11-02T20:56:00.004+08:00

新的約定。。。

還沒看到你。。。。只會想念你。。。

Haha disregard second line! To those who can read Chinese... SSSssshhh nalang! lolz. Well basically my subject is how you read the first line "xin de yue ding". It literally means New Agreement or as I'd prefer to call it, New Promise. It's a promise to myself sort of. To start a change. Throw away the old conventions (okaaay.. maybe not exactly throwing away! haha :hehe) and welcome new friends (hi new linkies! :yay). As you can see I've done the first one by making my FIRST ever video blog/vlog! Scroll down to watch my *belated* Halloween message if ya haven't watched yet. Or of course, if ya just want to see me make a fool out of myself, you're welcome to! hehe. Thanks sobra sa positive feedback lolz even though I still think I talk like a child/boy. I never did like my voice... haha i'll probably do another one soon! =) But have to be discreet... I don't want my mum and dad to know I'm doing these... lolz!!

And about something new... I'm absolutely DYING to change my layout because Panda has long been gone on a vacation! I must revamp this site coz... it's already a mess if you can see. lolz! I already have something in mind and I need the artist's permission to use his characters (ano kaya un?? haha suspense!! lolz) so I'm not sure when it will be done but IT WILL BE DONE this year! That's A FACT! hehe.

I need help though, would you guys rather see a site mostly composed of NEON or PASTEL colors? Tag me or comment and I'll gladly do it! I'm having trouble choosing you see... hehe thanks! =)

And I want to start anew in college again. I don't know. I'm just determined more to make it better. To become better at my academic performance (DEAN'S LIST! I WON'T LET YOU GO AWAY!!), to increase school spirit (maybe it's time I get a school shirt.. I don't even have a PE shirt yet...), to mingle more with orgs and blockmates (asides from card playing! i wanna bond! lolz) and to... do something i don't know yet. lolz! :haha. I'm weird like that..

Me, Chair, Chu, Joan

I had such a blast last Halloween night coz it was also my friend Jasmine's debut!! She really had an original idea (well for me anyway coz I haven't seen one like it) for her theme and i loved seeing everyone in hats! Haha I love my mom too coz she found the ridiculously pinkish-floral-with-dead-bird-on-top hat!! haha I won a PHILLIPS DVD PLAYER! lolz. Fun fun fun! =) Glad to see my barkada (Danelle isn't there though!! wahh) and my high school third year family!! They're simply the best for me.... sighs... how did ya spend your halloween night? Or All Saint's Day? hehe.

Oh here's another new thing I wanna try... COSPLAY!! SShhhh again... I know I haven't watched anime for a long time but I've watched a good deal and still be able to call myself an anime fan. Just that.. after the party last Oct 31, it was just fun to dress up! lolz. Problem with cosplay is the costumes and actually becoming the anime character you portrayed! Here's a cosplay blog in case you don't know what cosplay is. I'm just a bit disturbed when girls portray guys... I'm sorry...but I really do find it weird! Pics gotten from here!!

Lineage II Dark Elf
Amazing dedication! Is that really WHOLE BODY PAINT?

The Melancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi - Suzumiya Haruhi
She looks... so much like the character!! I love it!

Naruto - Uchiha Sasuke
Fierce!! But as I have said... girl portraying guys... but anyways I like it!

One thing that will never change in my blog is movie news. SWEAR. You'll read about movies, watch about movies and talk about movies here!! lolz. I'm such a movie geek that I hope to work in film someday! (Taking Computer Science as a course is my first step!)

Here's a trailer of Slumdog Millionaire, one of my most awaited films this year! I first heard about this in one of my favorite movie blogs that it was showing in the famous Toronto Film Festival and it WON people's choice award! Cinematical who did a super review gives a good summary,

Fans of director Danny Boyle's work will find much to appreciate in his latest film, Slumdog Millionaire, a sweeping, hopeful story about a boy in the slums of India who becomes an instant celebrity after he wins millions on India's version of Who Wants to be a Millionaire?. Adapted by Simon Beaufoy (The Full Monty, Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day) off the novel Q &A by Vikas Swarup, the tale is framed within an interesting narrative structure that revolves around the young man, Jamal, being interrogated for fraud by the police, who cannot believe that a "slumdog" orphan could possibly have known the answers to the questions on the show.

Another Indian film on my watch list! So far, I am enjoying IMMENSELY Indian films as I have told ya about The Namesake and I have also downloaded Bride and Prejudice (Indian take on Pride and Prejudice) which was pretty OK. Some stars in The Namesake would appear on Slumdog and I can't wait to watch them! yey!!

Here's the trailer! =) :hehe

Now I'm so sorry for another long post! Urgh... Just have so much to say.. Maybe I'd vlog it next time! :hehe =)

Updates when I update! :cool

One midsummer night's eve, the remnants of a snow flake inconceivably spilled its teardrops on a little girl's notebook of sorrows: life, death, and memory.

Be the Poker Grandmaster!

2008-10-29T07:06:00.001+08:00

Last semester in college was one of the best times of my life because of course it’s the start of my college life. Imagine me being college, I couldn’t imagine it at all because I’ve been sheltered in high school like some cloistered pearl inside a seashell or something and the only home I knew was my little shell. So college was definitely a BIG world!!

But those who helped me with my transition were my blockmates! And I finally found our favorite past time. Ever since our “daddy” Neil in the block taught us a few card games (e.g. Egyptian War, Bridge) and enhanced our old tricks (Pusoy dos) I've become very attuned to card games as in I would always play them. And our CS prof was a real role model there, he is part of some Poker tournament and I've been wondering about other card games ever since.

But this site has a very user friendly interface that not only features reviews for best paying casinos but it also features video tutorials like Poker video tutorials! Now this is a nifty trick because most people are more visually learning capable so having a video tutorial greatly helps (like how I study with power points.) There are also free games that gives you a chance to win BIG by entering your high scores. Of course this site would want you to win so strategies of various card games are also laid out.

It's different from the rest because now you can fully understand playing Poker. It's comprehensive and straight to the point. Even a beginner (like me) would be able to understand it.

Now that I'm 18.... hmmm might I try?

Back to that again :(

2008-10-28T13:20:00.001+08:00

Darn you Apple!! :crapyou :grr

Not just any apple, but THE APPLE. I don't know why they need to make Ipod touch users pay for a freaking software upgrade while iPhone 3G users have it so easy.... FREE. Why oh why?? :wah

I've jailbroken (hacked) my ipod touch you see in the 1.1.4 firmware to get all these cool applications for free. It took me days to do it and now that it's going loco (yah the itouch hasn't been used for a while and when I opened it, it went into recovery mode, so i need to restore it again.. start from scratch). I must jailbreak it once again using the upgraded firmware. But I'll find a FREE ONE! I HAVE TO!!

This is just a rant post... nothing important here... just wanted to ask if you guys could give suggestions on music since I'm planning to expand my music library. I go for anything EXCEPT HEAVY METAL. No senseless screaming at all! hehe. I love classicals though =) Hehe

Read my last post, it made more sense. Just wanted to rant... hehe :hehe

Boo Yeah Month!

2008-10-26T22:08:00.003+08:00

Before anything else, I'd like to thank all my new link exchanges for... agreeing to link exchange with me!! hahaa!! :yay Nice meeting ya all and hopefully we'll keep this strong!! Special mention to Aisha, Beena, Beng, Chiui, Evan, Gelly, Jha, Jhoice, Jeru, Karen Ken, and Sha!Thanks also guys for supporting me sa last post! I know it was loong... so sorry for my new readers. I love long posts for some reason.. Or maybe it's because I'm really loquacious. Haha!

I'm open to link exchanges guys!! =) :hehe

To all those who haven't heard... this is the new trailer for High school musical 3!!!

Okayz.... I was kidding. hahaa! :haha This is just a spoof, fan-made video courtesy of Slashfilm who thought that it was brilliant to mix the Saw and High School Musical franchise together. Lolz! Now I don't think it would be a box office smash hit but lolz~ I liked the way they mixed the scenes and when Troy Bolton/Zac Efron suddenly held a pair of knives! Lolz!! Hahhaa. It's October, bee happy for the Halloween season.

and i just watched HSM3!! THE REAL ONE!! It was a blast! If you're a senior now in high school, I'm sure that all of you can relate with it. Even I a recent graduate, is already reminiscing the days... the plays... the fights.... the WINS!! My gosh... I super miss high school! It's not an Oscar-worthy show, but it's all about fun, friends and high school! It's definitely BETTER than the SECOND!! I can't say that it's as good as the first though coz... none of the songs are catchy enough to get stuck in your head unlike Breaking Free. Lolz!! Haha but nevertheless... the songs and DANCE MOVES ARE GREAT!! as in!!!! Watch it guys!! =) :hehe

Speaking of Halloween season, what guys are you planning to do on Halloween? Are you going trick or treating? I wish I did, it's been 7 years since my first and last trick or treat. I'm gonna spend it the old school way and have a horror movie marathon! Yey!! I love horror movies sans/EXCEPT for the torture gore ones like Saw. Urgh, i detest senseless movies about blood and gore and cutting off one's limbs. I'd rather be spooked out or crepped out rather than grossed out in a very bad bad sense. Zombie movies are okay, just not Hostel or Saw. Go suggest peepz!!

And I'd suggest one of my own finds from Slashfilm again. Trick 'r Treat. Hehe it's a new premise and it's kinda creepy that they use kids to spook grownups out. There is just something VERY CREEPY about children who are gonna attack ya. Brrr!!! Here's the trailer and I think it's AWESOME!!

I'm keeping this short coz it's brown-out here (THE ~~THIRD~~ FOURTH TIME THIS MONTH!! WHAT THE HELL??) and the battery's gonna be dead in a few minutes. URGHHH!! :grr Wish my family luck and pray for us guys.... Our lot has been sold and hopefully at a right price and if the other lot gets sold again... we're finally getting our own house... our OWN house!! We're just renting out this recidence see, and I can't wait to leave the place. I know I'm going to miss this so much since I've stayed here for 10 years already but.... there are more perks in moving!! whoot! lolz. :hehe

Well gtg now!!

Updates when I update! :cool

The Loser Standing Small...

2008-10-22T22:11:00.003+08:00

"I dont wanna talk
About the things weve gone through
Though its hurting me
Now its history
Ive played all my cards
And thats what youve done too
Nothing more to say
No more ace to play

The winner takes it all
The loser standing small
Beside the victory
Thats her destiny"

- "The Winner Takes It All" from ABBA

I am so LSS (last song syndrome) with this song, not because of the latest Mamma Mia movie (that was shown ages ago anyway :p) but also because I CAN ACTUALLY RELATE TO IT for two reasons.

1. Winner : My Super Sure Self
Loser : Me too

After the final exams, I was already sure that I won't make it to Dean's list with a SUCKY MATH GRADE. Then the results of our overall final grades came out and our QPI. The QPI for dean's lister and all is at 3.35 and guess what my grades were?

How joyful noh?? NOT!!! I was this close... this freaking close... .02 close to becoming a DL and I didn't make it. Even though I already expected my grades to be like this, I never expected the feeling of confirmation. The feeling that your nightmares have been confirmed and strangled your dreams. I'm the loser. And frankly I don't know who the winner is. I really have to do well in Math and English now. I just feel so bad in English because I'm giving out what I think is my
best but frankly my professor doesn't think so. But how come, my literature grade is BETTER?? WHY?? I mean my essays. Is it really a test of personality for the prof? Or is it my incapacity still as a student? I should be happy with these grades but I'm not. I'M PISSED. :grr :dead

NEXT SEMESTER! YOU'RE GONNA BE OWNED MATH! I WILL TAKE YA DOWN!

2. Winner : mum and dad
Loser : no one in particular, me again I think

ABBA, as in THE ABBA, is coming to Manila!! :yay My parents are ABBA uber fans so they're definitely going and Mom promptly dragged me along with them. Haha! I like ABBA too but the thing is... I'm sure i'll be surrounded by folks older than my years so I'll really feel left out... Rihanna and Chris Brown are coming over too but I know I won't be able to go coz I have no one to go with and my brother isn't here. Urgh. Sighs... This is cool still though, I get to watch a concert. :yay!!

Did I tell ya that I lost my camera a month ago? My English groupmates and I were doing a video for Lit and used my camera. But alas after trekking and taking the LRT, the freaking camera is just gone... poof! Out of the bag. I thought someone was playing a trick or something but it's already over a month and it's still gone. I have no more spare cameras left because my brother brought the newest camera to Portugal. Thing is he's not even uploading pics... Shucks... this is bad... :(( Anybody got a spare camera? Or wanna sell their old one? heehee :hehe

I'm also in another predicament. My friend's debut is themed "Mad-hatter style" so we have to wear the craziest hats around! But I have absolutely zero clue on fashion. I don't know what to wear nor what hat to wear! Crap. hehe any suggestions anyone??

Urgh, I wanted to blog about something else. But these issues got the best of me. :((

Good thing I met up with my barkada a while ago!! (YES! COMPLETE AGAIN FINALLY!) We had to discuss our yearbook plans with the publisher along with other mishaps from school (ANG GULO NILLAA! especially about publishers!). We were able to clear out a couple of things but one more meeting is needed to finalize everything. Just hope everything goes as planned so they can begin printing already. Then my best friends and Jan met up with Franz and my other BFF, Chu-chu!! haha. Miss her so much! It's hard to think though... us 4 are enjoying our lives crazily during our sembreak while my other best friend is out there working on grueling homeworks. Urgh. If ya need anything Chu, am just here!! Gosh, met up with a lot of High school friends and I can't believe how I miss them so! Haha I hope our first Batch reunion pushes through this November 8! it mustt! :hehe

L-R Chu, Daynel, Joan, Me and Chair!
Top (L-R) : Jan, Franz
OMG... i bloated because of that darn tooth! Wahh :wah

My mother and I did our first in months SHOPPING SPREE! Whoa, ang daming binili especially gifts for *cough cough* and SHOES! hehe pics will be posted.... kung may cam na :( :wah

Well i guess this is it! :hehe

Freedom...freedom!! sings

2008-10-19T10:05:00.002+08:00

I am so sorry for not blogging earlier guys. :wah I still feel uncomfortable with this tooth predicament and I am now feeling this weird twitches. There was even once when I felt this TICKLISH feeling and of course the itchy feeling of the lower teeth area. I hope that this would be gone by TOMORROW because I'm going to visit my high school tomorrow! I super can't wait!!! hehee :hehe

Sighs.. I'm tired of bread... that's all I've been eating since Thursday. Hopefully I lost some pounds already..:hehe

My mom just told me a piece of good news yesterday! There's a possibility that we might go to Dubai and stay over at my mom's friend's house! Whoot!! I've been wanting to SEE *take note, see, i can't afford to spend a night in these hotels!* the uber mega famous hotels of Dubai like the Burj-Al-Arab hotel! :yay

"Designed to resemble a billowing sail, the hotel soars to a height of 321 metres, dominating the Dubai coastline. At night, it offers an unforgettable sight, surrounded by choreographed colour sculptures of water and fire.

This all-suite hotel reflects the finest that the world has to offer. With your chauffeur driven Rolls Royce, discreet in-suite check in, private reception desk on every floor and a brigade of highly trained butlers who provide around-the-clock attention, you can be assured of a highly personalised service throughout your stay."

from the site

@_@ butlers?? haha! And despite being a small country, Dubai is very technological advanced so being a gadget freak, I won't be able to help but drool all over the place! This dream has yet to become a reality this December. I HOPE that it will be a reality *prays*

To all my American friends out there, i know that the presidential election is near and all of you have problem either Obama or McCain in mind (personally, I think Obama would win!!) but here's just something to tickle your funny bone. I was browsing over Cinematical's posts and found an array of obama-mccain "movie posters"! Super laughtrip lang!! I have nothing against the candidates but it sure is a fun parody :p. Especially Step Brothers, Dumb and Dumber, etc! :haha

Onto a more serious note, this presidential election, or ANY for that matter, is a life-changing event. That is why it is so IMPORTANT to ponder over the abilities of the candidates and VOTE for your country's leader. It's just saddening to think that some people actually throw away their FREEDOM to vote. I mean people, you have a democratic country which PEOPLE have fought for the PEOPLE's good welfare and you're just throwing away centuries' sacrifices? As a citizen, one must take it a duty to take care of their homeland, their country. I don't know... I'm just saying that people should think it over carefully and not shotgun their votes. May the Lord help us.

If you haven't read my previous post *the one right before this* and watched the trailer for Persepolis, PLEASE DO! I'm encouraging you all to watch this little animation especially in times like this to further understand the freedom that we have.

I've been meaning to write about the situation with my brother but I think I'll save it for another day. It'll be another long post and i don't want to be dragging anymore. Well tc now!! :hehe

Foreign Nut

2008-10-16T17:09:00.001+08:00

Foreign nut (n.) - 1. A person who's a fanatic or who's starting to become a fanatic of other cultures. Absorbs them bit by bit or nut by nut 2. Other meaning is simply a nut you've never heard of 3. A crazy foreigner :bleh

I'm starting to like inventing words. Or at least give meaning to some. Now I've become a foreign nut. While running on the treadmill last Monday, I was watching a documentary featuring South Korean films and their directors and all I can say is... they're all mind-blowing! I'm not talking about romantic comedies we're all used to because of telenovelas but there are actually good and maybe even oscar-worthy about these films. Some even encompass the usual North American films and some are like it (Matrix! there's like this Matrix korean film thingy) but what makes these films look more interesting is because of their particular culture. You can see their traditions and their views about life. And how they're being broken.

The magnitude of how America has influenced the world is so great. Now after watching The Namesake and Persepolis, both foreign films, I saw that it's not only the Philippines that has been into this "American thing". Even Indians or French Iranians (watch Persepolis! One of my favorite animation films now!) are influenced into listening this punk rock thing, eating Burgers, partying and all American. I thought that only Filipinos are the uber crazy about Americans but now I now am wrong. There are also as many Filipinos as there are Indians (well i think) in America and they too are suffering the same fate. Should they still follow arranged marriages? Should they only marry their same kind? How about Iranians? They have it worse because of the super strict government they have and the recent wars they're experiencing, it's hard to express their freedom now. Teens are actually being forced by families to leave Iran for their sake and future. But the thing is.. I think Filipinos are still more Americanized. lolz. Just watch these films and you be the judge.

The NameSake features the struggle of one Indian family has to go through living in America. These struggle focuses on finding their own identity especially the children's (Kal Penn and the girl). Despite this being a boring premise, the film actually tugs your heartstrings because you really feel the emotions of each of the member of the family as they take you through the times of the parents up to their children's. And there are lots of humorous scenes too especially watching this Indian tradition of ladies flicking their tongues and saying "Whoo whoo!" during a marriage ceremony. I know it's supposed to be serious but I can't help but laugh! Watch it guys! Torrent it. Rent it or something.

Now Persepolis, go buy it!! (or torrent it like me) This is how much I recommend this littel animation feature! Running only at 1 hr and 30 minutes, this film is packed with insanely fun humor and a LOT of political views especially in the first few minutes of the film. It is needed because of the reality of Iran. They can't help but be political. I was a bit apprehensive about this film though. Sure it's got an Oscar nod for best foreign (wait, was it foreign film???) but come on, 99% of the time, the film is in black and white! The drawing's plain, nothing exactly significant in that department but the story is the focus here. Not the drawing but the story. And a little peculiar quirk about this film is that the dialogue is in French but it's talking about Iran. Now I don't know how to categorize it. Maybe it's still a french film. This story is about the tale of an Iranian girl and we see her go through life in Iran as she progresses to become the Iranian woman. I swear, I explain the film so badly but this film is a gem! It cracked me up loads of times and the story is.. so... true. It's so true that it's funny already. GO WATCH! :yay

In other news... THERE IS ACTUALLY A BRAND NEW LINE OF MACBOOKS AND MACBOOK PROS! I can't believe the shock I got when Apple e-mailed me that there is already a new line! And to think I just recently got a Macbook Pro :wat @_@. :dead but I am so thankful that Apple only focused on the aesthetics and not the functionality in their improvements. They changed the design, added a few more graphic cards or something to enhance the graphics and voila! That's it. Well that's what I think anyway. Head over to Apple for more details. Sighs... technology these days.. you never know how to keep up. Please don't be like fashion! :wah

I've finally posted more pics at Multiply! I forgot to blog about St. Francis of Assisi's feast day/National Pet Day! There was this pet blessing held in Eastwood City and my mum decided to go!! Haha it was fun seeing the pets and also their pet owners. There are actually a lot of owners who SPOIL their doggies. *they put them in strollers! like kids!* We brought Pawpi, Toto, Rocky and Coco! hehe.

I just had my SECOND molar extraction and I can tell ya that IT HURTS MORE than the first one here in this entry. URGH! More icepacks please! And what's worse is it's hard to swallow now and I'm getting coughs. sighs.. I just hope that the pain will end tomorrow. PLEASE! Now I look like some tomato coz of this blown up face of mine. Sighs... it looks like I've got the mumps. :wah

Well gtg now!

Faffle waffle

2008-10-14T12:32:00.001+08:00

Faffle (n./v.) - in Tiffspeak means hello for good mornings. A 'hey yo' only in times of morning (12am - 11am). When used outside of time frame, it is disregarded as nonsensical blabberings of a lunetic.

Faffle everyone (if it's morning there, then HELLO! otherwise, just consider me on my usual crazy self)!!:hihi See what boredom can do to you? You invent words. To amuse yourself, you actually give crazy advices to people such as imitating a jet lag person so that they can experience the feeling of being "traveled" (right Roberpo?). It's only day 5 of sembreak (whoot one month of NOTHING to do!!) and I'm already going bonkers. Operation sembreak is now in session and I am officially burning 100-300 calories a day! I hope a month of exercise and acitivity is gonna do me good! Hhehee =) But I have 3 parties this month... crap....

Rainy season is here and it's not yet cold enough. :wah Where's the icy/breezy wind? All I feel is the humidity of the dang rains and makes me want to sweat more. Ugh. And you know what? The depressing atmosphere actually reflects the devastating situation of the global economic crisis the WORLD is experiencing. Stocks are going down, value of money is going down and everything is just DOWN. I can't read the front page of the newspaper anymore because I'll just grumble and say "Oh now what.." Sighs.. and to top it all, I now can't eat chocolates without thinking... "May melamine ba ito?" ("Is there melamine in this?") :grrr

I know that everyone is tired of talking about it, but we can't stop from talking about it because how else would we solve something without tackling anything? My uncle who's really into economics (maybe that's why he's so rich now...) shared some tidbits with my mother and I would like to share it now with you guys

"Times are really hard and will even be harder in the next 12 months. My job here is reading and monitoring all the gloomy forecasts and assessing the global inherent/emerging risks in Maersk. The current global financial crisis is really very bad. There will be more uncertainties in the next 12 months. All industries are affected!   One of the highest risk is actually on CONTRACTUAL PARTIES and OBLIGATIONS. We will see business contracts being cancelled, customers and suppliers going bankrupt or simply running out of liquidity, more banks going bust.   There will be very limited cashflow in markets. Cost of borrowing will go up. Financial institutions will restrict lending to each other. Applying for future loans will be more complicated than ever with more collaterals and background checks required. In short keep an eye on your cashflow and accts receivables. Limit your credit exposure to customers. Cut down on un-necessary spendings.

Metrobank and BDO are the 2 hardest hit from the collapse of Lehman Brothers in MNL.  Avoid gambling in stocks. Enter stock market only by end 2009 when things have settled down. There will be a lot of goose chase in the coming months investigating what we really went wrong and how it can be avoided in future. All these will be exercise in futility as they will never get to the bottom of all these.   The world economy has enjoyed so much wealth flowing during the last 10 years, with its peak in 2006. There was so much speculations and hedging on many things -- real estate, commodity prices -- causing inflation to surge.  Many companies simply fogot to exercise proper Risk Management, abused Governance, lacked Transparency and did not do full Disclosures on their financial state. In short we now learn that there are too many irresponsible corporations around the world and greedy middlemen in between trades and business.

People will have to go back to basic. Agriculture and food industry will remain robust. Population will continue to grow, people need to eat, people need to survive. Be on the look out for alternative investments or business ventures in agriculture - be it on fishery, poultry or farming. Of course, this will demand different risks on pests, health and safety standards but all these risks are controllable.   Imports from made in China has taken a toll and there's no more confidence on chinese food products.   Avoid engaging in commodity trades for the next 2 yrs - incl. dairy, gold, oil, etc.   Commodity prices are quite unstable and global tariff and tax regulations will only be more complex in the next 5 yrs. So much focus are being put on regulatory compliance (tax, labour, health, safety, security and environment) globally. Governments backing up banking institutions will have to replenish cash thru collections of newer/higher taxes.

If you have excess cash, hang on to it. Cash is king. Spread out your savings in different banks.  Take note of PDIC's bank guarantees.  Stay on top of current events. Discuss the current global crisis at home, engage your kids in the dialogue. Make them understand what is going on. Do not underestimate their wisdom and innocence in economics."

-Uncle Ramon

Now I know I wouldn't be able to purchase any cameras out there soon... Crap. And i just lost mine *thankfully it's the old one* but who cares, this is more important. So I'm back to helping my parents and looking for pay-per-post. Smorty and Blogsvertise have both stopped sending me campaigns. Due to inactivity maybe or something...But I'm trying to win them back! I got to save up!

I'm going to experience incredible pain again this Thursday... Molar extraction Part 2 is coming up! Nuts I tell ya. I just really hope that all this hulabaloo is enough for my teeth problem. Sighs. :dead

Anyway, am having fun this sembreak depsite everything. More moves = more fun. More time to spend with friends too! I had so much with Jinny and Chair a while ago playing badminton! Love it!!

I've been plurking a lot recently so you can catch me there! Pls do add me up =) Here please =)

I'm going to add end links for my pay to post sites in case new readers would like to sign up! hehe =)

Gotta go now=)

Impossible is Something After All - maybe??

2008-10-10T22:43:00.001+08:00

Adidas was wrong. Impossible is NOT nothing. I proved them wrong by entering the dungeons of math hell and barely escaping the clutches of that MATH exam! I prayed the rosary every day asking for guidance. I studied like hell right after Computer project for this exam so it means a total of 4 days preparation. I WORE ADIDAS RUBBER SHOES on that day but to no avail, I have come out still a tortured soul. I can't do impossible things such as bring my grade a level higher, goodbye B. Goodbye hopes of being a Dean's lister.

Math, you were once my best friend? What happened?

Math and I had a mutual relationship but at one point it became one-sided. I confronted my 4 personalities and realized I didn't like math back but I was still getting good grades.. Maybe now I'm getting what I deserved for disregarding math like that...

I think i'm going crazy... I'm talking about me and math having relationships now... all I can say is... PLEASE MATH! BATI NA TAYO!! Let's be friends again... I'll never let you down...

This delusional phase is the result of Ateneo's gruesome finals week MONTH. Aside from acquiring large eyebags (I swear, i can fit an entire baseball team inside them eyebags!), my heart has grown weak from all the stress and this isn't helping me at all. My body's defense mechanism is connected to my hunger pangs and once I'm stressed/depressed, I GET HUNGRY and I bloat. Therefore I am now a huge whale despite all the stress and I have this one month of sembreak to chop it all off (yes, CHOP IT) Operation sembreak officially begins tomorrow! I plan to eat probably only bread at breakfast, normal meal at lunch and hypanthium (did you know that the apple is just the hypanthium of the flower? It's the soft part that holds the petals together - botany trivia from the Chair, too much botany!) for dinner. Add a couple of hours A DAY of exercise for a month, and hopefully I'll lose all this weight. I just hope so.... I'm getting more depressed by the minute (oh, MUST NOT be depressed or else I'll go hungry again..)

But... a light of hope inside me still flickers. I mean I received good news this month. Our lot that has been stagnant for x years has been finally sold off!! It's not enough to pay our debts but it's... something we've been yearning for since time immemorial. I hope that this will leviate my family's situation. I really do.

I'm also sure that I got 2 A's and hopefully another possible A. Oh what delight did I feel when I received Elijah's text message and Alexa's confirmation from Sir Mark that I got an A in Literature and I had no need to take the final exams! Less study time for me! And what exuberant screech I gave when Sir Tenorio texted me to comfort me that I had no need to take the finals too coz he just added up the bonus points and I got an A in Filipino! Imagine that, me, who has never been good in Filipino and who has such a tremendous struggle in grade school and high school with it has finally beaten the odds and gotten an A. I am soo happy! Computer finals was okay and hopefully I'll be able to dish out a B+ or A.

So Math and English are my boon and bane with the former getting 2 C+'s (great, I chose a course where it had 2 math grades, GREAT) and the latter a B. I'm hoping next sem would be better since TC (blockmate) told me that the trend actually shifts in Math20.2. Hoping to get an INVERSE EQUATION!! *see how math has affected me that I can't help utter math theories and equations out of my mouth?*

I loved my 1st semester though. I'm so thankful I've got a SUPER GREAT BLOCK! GO BLOCK N!! =) I didn't get ANY terror teachers at all and got some of the most memorable teachers I've ever had. (Sir tenorio, sir mark, sir chanshio, YOU GUYS ROCKKEDD!!) I appreciated Filipino more and learned so much from Sir Tenorio, you're the best Fil prof ever!! Sana kaw rin prof ko next sem! hehe =) I've earned stamina from my very first match in Muay Thai (imagine that, a bloody nose! i got a bloody nose! *cheers*) and had so much fun kicking those darn bags. En11 and Lit13 Section R18 is simply the best company ever during English and Lit! All in all, my first semester ended with a bang! (Math shot me through the head) Full of joys, laughter, heartaches, headaches and all, I wouldn't have first sem any other way (except for the Math bit... heeheee...)

Yes, finally, a well-deserved one month of recuperation is on my wayy!! GIVE IT TO ME ADIDAS! IMPOSSIBLE IS NOTHING!!! lolz! =) :hehe

Updates when I update! :cool =)

Hello Hell Month!

2008-10-01T17:08:00.001+08:00

I've always wondered what hell weeks were like in high school. Sure I also had my own share of HELL HELL weeks in high school but... I don't know. It seems different in college.

It's actually a HELL MONTH. My gosh. There are soo many orals, papers, exams and projects in one month that i'm gonna burst. urgh. In high school, I guess chinese took up most of my time but now that I'm chinese-free in college, I'm now worked up to do well in others, and there are plenty of stuff to do.

Sorry so much guys for the lack of updates. It's already October and I haven't even updated anything! eeep! I hope you guys understand. If you want, catch me up on YM or Plurk or twitter. Comment if ya wanna know my YM =) hehe or if you have MSN, basta chatting tool. I've also got skype! hehe Just comment and ask for them, and i'll readily give ya =)

For some weird reason, random strangers add me up on skype, why?? How do they even see me? I guess when they make a user search noh? Oh well, time to outline my Filipino stuff. URGH. hehe =) Good luck guys!

I'll be free next Saturday. THAT'S A PROMISE. As in I'm free na. Free for a month to do anything coz it's sembreak! Unlike high school again, there are actually NO HOMEWORKS on a sembreak. I CAN'T WAIT! =) hehe well tc now!~

Good luck sa finals!=)

My Grandpa Sees Saddam Hussein

2008-09-15T21:03:00.001+08:00

...supposedly at their third floor apartment. My guakong (maternal grandpa) is already 85 years old and he is probably suffering this onset Alzheimer's disease. I'm not sure if it is but he is starting to forget some people's names and he claims that he can see his mother (who has been dead for x years already) and other visitors inside the house like the aforementioned Saddam Hussein. I really like my guakong because unlike my other grandparents, he speaks tagalog and english more frequently and is probably the nicest grandpa in the block (hard to say for my angkong, paternal grandfather). He's also open to a lot of opinions and treats us grandkiddies very well. I just saw him you see, a while ago and it hurts me to see the state that he's in. His right leg is inflamed (WHOLE right leg down to right foot) because of a blocked nerve and he has lost his left eyesight. And his spine is bending like a hunchback's now... Wahh.. wish I'd get to know him earlier, it's not like he's leaving us anytime soon. It just reminds me that he could be gone soon... Wahh... I'd rather not think about it now.

I attended 2 parties last Friday and Saturday, ergo no recent blog entries (sorry guys!). The first one was my mum's See kim ma's (mom's aunt) 80th birthday! It was really bongacious because it's been in the tradition of Chinese (rich usually, them NOT US) to throw parties at certain ages such as 4, 16, 18, etc (i think...) and finally 80. Everything was literally overshadowed by the color red (red symbolizes luck and happiness) and yellow! The whole room was so goshdarn red that I was really really happy (come on red is my fave color! heehe) It was nice to see SeeKim very very energetic. You know that her family has it made when you see that they invited head teachers, monks (YES THERE WERE MONKS! lolz!) and 500 other friends and families. Grandchildren are also traditionally asked/forced to do a presentation and lolz, I couldn't help be amused at the numbers they did! Imagine playing and bellydancing to Bebot, Glamorous and Give me more at your grandma's 80th birthday and in the presence of 60+ year old people! lolz! It was really a funny sight. I guess i was also in a good mood because my second cousin didn't sing as good as I sung back in January (for some reason, she also sang the same song). I'm not being to proud or anything.. but my mom confirmed the fact and I was happy =) hehe

Another amusing thing that happened that night was the likeness of my little 5 year old cousin and I! hehe. We wore the same headband on the same day! Same blue sequined headband, just that hers was definitely smaller. We really looked like sisters (she does look like me a little) and I thought it was really cute! lolz, haha. My aunt says that she's doing really well, i mean the little tot is already the top of her batch in her first year of kinder! And you know what? She's studying piano, ballet, gymnastics, voice lessons and who knows what at this early age! Maybe she's gonna be a genius, i hope she is! And she doesn't look like a geek mind you. She's really sweet. My aunt also told me about her sweet friendship with her bestfriend. I mean it was my little cousin who sort of "rescued" that little girl from loneliness on the first day of school and they never parted ways since. She sent flowers to her, could you believe it? Sighs... hope their friendships last.. I know the feeling of losing childhood friends... :(

Here's a pic of her when she was 3! hehe Watcha think? Rianna's her name =)
*posting pic later*

My bro hasn't contacted us for 5 days. URGHH! He must give us updates! lolz, I feel like my mum's still sort of caging my bro because of skype but now that he's got roomates (his roomie is part of THE team USA track and field!) and school, I guess contacting him won't be easy anymore... oh well...

Steppy's got her arm in a sling... hope she's OK now. Urgh, car doors suck! hehe

Well I think i'll stop for a while. Urgh, have to go study. HELL WEEK THIS WEEK! eeep!!

Updates when I update! :cool

Oh, random video about the Great Sticky Note Experiment!

EepyBird's Sticky Note experiment from Eepybird on Vimeo.

Videos Galore!

2008-09-07T10:56:00.002+08:00

My kabarkada (best friend, groupie, homie) Joan just bombarded me with such cute and sad little short(redundant much? haha!) films that I couldn't NOT share them! hehe.

The first couple of shorts were nominated in the Oscars last year and both are French. The first one features a husband impatiently stuck in traffic and decides to pass time by calling up home with his "new" (i think?) phone. Watch and see the twist in the end.

The second one features a very very sad woman who aboards the train. Sounds like a very boring premise noh? I assure you, this one's a really sad sad film.

The last one is a short animated film about.... CHUBCHUBS!! And what are chubchubs? Lolz. I loved this!!

Oh and I'd like to promote a film deemed Oscar-worthy next year by Sean Penn. It's MILK. I loved this little trailer. It's one of those trailers where special effects isn't the reason why you want to watch it.

A little info on Milk
"Academy Award nominee Gus Van Sant directs Academy Award winner Sean Penn as gay-rights icon Harvey Milk. Mr. Milk (1930-1978) was an activist and politician, and the first openly gay man to be elected to public office in America; in 1977, he was voted to the city supervisors' board of San Francisco. The following year, both he and the city's mayor George Moscone were shot to death by another city supervisor, Dan White. Mr. Milk was previously the subject of the Academy Award-winning documentary feature "The Times of Harvey Milk," but "Milk" is the first non-documentary feature to explore the man's life and career. " -Youtube description

My brother's officially leaving in 5 hours. Oops my bad everyone. He was going to leave today and not yesterday as I have earlier said. Sighs.. i can't imagine 5 months without anybody to banter with or to shout at. Home will be so quiet. It's really sad. I do hope he does well in Portugal and not waste 5 months of his life. It'll be hard to communicate though coz the time difference is a lot. 8 hours. urgh. Anyway, he has to take a lot of pics or else I'll bash him! hehe joking =)

I'm supposed to be writing now but I still don't have the zest. Urgh... why oh why has this been happening lately? I just wish I could sail off on a boat and venture off somewhere. My mom got me a credit card (cool!! yey! Color black pa siya, it looks really important) but sad thing is I'm probably never gonna use it this year. My bro and I share the same account and he's probably gonna take the bigger share since he's off in Europe and he has to buy a lot of stuff since he could only bring 20 kilos over there. Oh well.. hehe

Oh, and I got my dream grade, B IN MATH LONG TEST AGAIN! yes!! Sorry guys if my standards have fallen but I really have to face reality and accept the fact that I cannot A this subject anymore and my hopes are in the hands of Bs. If I still want to get on the dean's list, I really have to B this subject. I have to. It's a 6-unit subject. I was just so dumb that I C-ed my midterms. So dumb so dumb. Sighs..

Well I'll post again hopefully soon! TC!!

My brother's going away this Saturday. Away = away for 6 months in Lisbon, Portugal to "study". OF COURSE HE WON'T BE JUST STUDYING! I can't believe that he's finally going to my dream continent (haha sorry Asia...) and to Lisbon. The beaches there are fabulous right? He'll be able to capture our heritage (my father says I'm part portugese coz great great great grandad was one. I don't know if it's true) and experience their culture firsthand. He'll be able to meet and talk to great people, eat great foods and see great sights. The lucky guy! And the best thing about going to Portugal is the chance of roadtripping to other parts of Europe. Oh well, good luck to him then. Sad to say, I'm gonna miss that sucker too, I mean 6 months is a long time and I have no one to bother in the house. EEEPP. For the meantime, I'll just stare at these pics.

Anyway, I'm in a very download mood! Maybe it's because I just recently debated the pro side of piracy and I have been itching to catch the movies I wanted to watch but I didn't get the chance to because a) the movie wasn't distributed in the Phils b) it's a classic and I can't find a DVD anywhere, fake or not c) I really wanna watch/read/rewatch/reread it now!

So far I've downloaded a total of 6 movies! Thumbelina (aww it's a classic and I can't find it anywhere!), Amelie(really wanted to watch this, didn't get the chance last time), The Nightmare Before Christmas(another classic that I sorely miss), Into the Wild(haven't watched yet but downloaded already, really good they say), Son of Rambo(really good one too!), Mean Girls(finally watched it! and it is good as they say), Anne of Green Gables series(there's a mini series! I can't believe it!). I've even expanded my download files with comic books and mangas! Comic books are really expensive and I just didn't want to fork out that much so I download them instead. Watchmen and Fables are going into my files. Will read them when I have the time now. hehe

I've found something VERY INTERESTING courtesy of Slashfilm. Somebody actually BUILT a real hobbit house! Take a look!

Adorable isn't it? The owner apparantly is an exteme environmentalist and decided to take a step further in helping Mother Nature by actually building an eco-friendly house.

Get these cool features!

Fridge is cooled by air coming underground through foundations
Skylight in roof lets in natural feeling light
Solar panels for lighting, music and computing
Water by gravity from nearby spring
Compost toilet
Roof water collects in pond for garden etc.

The interior is absolutely beautiful. I suggest you go to this site and read more about it and view more images. Someday, I might actually consider living in a house like this. Or even for a vacation home. What do you guys think??

Well I guess this is about it. TC guys!!

Immunity and whatnot

2008-08-23T13:30:00.001+08:00

I'm in the mood to blog! Maybe it's because i have become immune to the aftershock of math failures, yucky english grades and college in general, I decided to do something mundane again and blog. Some English classes were actually required to blog to improve their writing skills. They say that if you at least blog frequently, you would be able to check up on your grammar, create new ideas and whatnot, but I don't think that after 5 years of blogging, my grammar has improved at all. It's just a place for me to vent, inform and talk to you guys. You being you readers and non-readers. My blog isn't actually popular unlike Ate Kitty's, I'm just a regular ugh teen trying to not be ugh.

My mother has unearthed this ancient (exaggeration obviously) organ at my Angkong's (grandfather) house but it needs repairing. I was so excited because I've been itching to play piano again, to press the keys and produce melodies, sighs. My childhood's coming back (or i never left it in the first place) and I even bought this teach yourself to piano CD. Don't worry it's fake, so I don't think I lost anything. Must get that organ fixed!!

I finally have 5 more movie blogs to watch out for. Aside from my resident fave blog, TheMovieBlog, I now have my other faves, slashfilm, firstshowing, cinnematical, in contention and filmjunkblog. I find that slashfilm is like theMovieblog so I simply love their opinions. Firstshowing offers a load of movie news and i think they usually get the first bits in the movie news and cinematical too. Sighs.... Yey for more movie sources!! And guess what I found..

*movie news got from the aforementioned sites

As a proclaimed Harry potter fan, I've been following ther books (have always read them on the first day of release during QUARTER EXAMS and reread them before a new one comes out.) religiously and though the movie franchise not as much, I still wanna watch my characters in live action! HP 6 Half-Blood Prince was slotted for a November 21 release but Warner Bros had something else in mind: MONEY MONEY MONEY. My gosh, because they thought that releasing it NEXT JULY 2009 would be more profitable and the crap reason that the writers' strike affected them much, THEY MOVED THE RELEASE DATE 8 MONTHS LATER. OMG, what the CRAP??! Fans are also stark raving mad about this and just go over to slashfilm, etc and their posts will be filled with bashes from the fans. Some even think of boycotting the movie! I wouldn't go as far as that since I am too curious and too much of a fan to miss it. It just sucks since we've been waiting since 2006 for a new movie and we're gonna get it 3 years late. Sighs.. the actors are getting old guys!!

But good news for twilight peepz!! Twilight bumps into Harry's release date and Bolt (disney's new doggie movie) grabs it too. I know that Twilight has a huge fanbase too (well I'm not a fan, but I did like some of the books) because of Edward Cullen and Jacob Black (does anybody like Bella? UGH I DON'T) so definitely, a good news for them fans. I'm a bit happy I guess, I can now see whether Robert Pattinson does the job well or not because if he doesn't, HE IS IN SO MUCH TROUBLE!

I've started a list of to-watch-films since I want to remind myself to watch other great films, some of them aren't playing here in the Philippines so I better download them myself or something. I'm trying to develop this love for Indie Filsm ever since I saw Little Miss Sunshine. That was simply beautiful. Nice!

Some films to watch out for are Coraline (GREAT MINIATURES!)

I had a different Coraline in mind though..

Neil Gaiman has such a wonderful imagination, how will they do this on the big screen? can't wait!! =)

WATCHMEN (My gosh, they sound like a Meaner and more bad-ass X-Men, Watch Trailer Pls)

Official Watchmen Trailer

Kick-Ass (very very violent stuff by Mark Miller about a 15 YR OLD BOY. really interesting)

oohh perfect casting!! =)

I'm currently downloading some senseless games to pass time. You know, games in theme with Diner Dash and all. My current favorite has got to be doggie dash because you can wash and groom pets! LOLZZ haha. Am really crazy now. @_@ Well guess I better go!! hehe =)

TC guys!

愛..

2008-08-16T12:01:00.001+08:00

愛，這個感覺直的是什麼？何時會發現是真的？我很不懂因為沒有試過或感覺到。我實在說其中一個的愛，就是親人的愛。昨晚我剛剛看電影， Wall*e。我好幾次哈哈大笑！Wall*e 雖然是機器人，他的表現實在像人一樣動作。他臉上的特點能夠微笑，哭，怕，等等。他也會跟Eve 開玩笑。因為七百多年已經過了，Wall*e 就當然覺得很很孤獨一個人在世界上把他弄清潔。Eve 來的時候是很重要， Wall*e 就從那天起，有朋友了。我只是在說如果一個機器人在落後的世界上會得到親愛，我可能也會得到呢？不可能，可能，我甚麼都不知道。我覺得自己沒希望的人。自己並不知道什麼才是愛。

In case you can't read Chinese, thank you! Haha, my grammar absolutely sucks, well not exactly sure if it's called grammar, but the structure anyway sucks because I haven't practiced my Chinese in a really long while. Not since I've graduated from high school that is and also because of the past teaching system my high school used, I didn't get much except for more memorizations. @_@ but I'm trying to bring my chinese heritage back. I'm really trying to.

Just to give you guys a gist of what I was saying, you guys recognize the most famous character (well I think) of the Chinese language right? Well it's love. I guess because of the countless queries of people who want to know what love is in Chinese, we would normally write this down to you. But is love. So just wonder why I'm talking about love. =)

I just recently watched Wall*e and IT DIDN'T DISAPPOINT. I don't think it's enough to be a contender for Best Picture *avoids rotten apples being thrown* because I just have this feeling of... I don't know. It's just me. Anyway I loved this little picture because Wall*e is just so adorable! I've never felt love for a little robot before. I mean the way he treated Eve-a (he calls her that) despite his gullible thinking was full of sincerity. I just can't help but stutter an awww in between scenes. Pixar has definitely done it again! EEPPP!! I'm left speechless here. This is definitely a 10/10 movie for me. Definitely!

Urgh, the past week was sort of a mini-hell week for me, what with the CS computer project (my Ten Stars Hotel! Anybody wanna try it out? hehe PM me! It's java program so you need BlueJ for it to work), Math Long Test4, Lit Midterms, English feature article and next week, CS midterms and Lit long paper. College has never been better noh? NOT. All I can say is I am NOT recognizing math long test 4. IT NEVER HAPPENED. Because of the disaster I made, I am not even considering it existed.

Reminds me of the time I broke the cupholder while searching for our seats in the movie theatre of Wall*E... OOPS! That also didn't happen. My bag (laptop) didn't just hit it with great impact causing the WHOLE CUPHOLDER, to be destroyed and fall to the ground.

I've also been hanging around CompSat forum, my home organization's forum and it's just so interesting to get to know my upper batches! I hopefully understant why I'm in my course Computer Science in the first place and if I really like/enjoy it here. I hope I do... maybe my fickle mind would do something drastic... sobs... but here's a little secret I'm letting you all in...i really...really...like....to...be...a.... VOICE ACTRESS! Of any pixar/disney films. Maybe it's a ridiculous idea, a crazy idea but I love to do weird accents and dialogues and I like to make people laugh. I try to and this is one SAFE way to do it. And I like talking anyway if I'm in the mood. Urgh... it'll just be a dream... =(

Well I think this is it. I'll post more movie/techie news when I see something interesting..

Updates when I update! :cool

Spectacular!!!!

2008-08-09T10:39:00.002+08:00

WOW!!!

OMG!!!

WTFART!!!

WHOOAA!!!

MAGNIFICENT!!!!

SPECTACULAR!!!!

These were all my reactions to the opening of Beijing Olympics 2008. I missed the first 10 minutes of the show but I didn't care because I was already BLOWN AWAY by the lights, choreography, sounds and the intensity of all these elements harmonizing with each other. OMG, I have never seen anything like it. I even have no idea how to describe some performances because, I honestly have never see anything...as beautiful or intricate or complicated or aesthetic as what director Zhang Yimou has choreographed. Honestly, you have to watch it to believe it. Unfortunately, all the Youtube videos about the Beijing Olympics opening have been removed so I can't show you any clips... sobs.. I'll try to find some videos though.

The performance depicted the thousands year old history of China, highlighting the 4 greatest inventions of China. 2008 musicians and 25000 performers graced the arena through dancing, acrobating, singing, etc with spectacular pyrotechnics (OMG GRABE UNG FIREWORKS!! WHOA SUPERB!) Here are some pics

These pictures I say do NOT do justice as to how beautiful it looked. I say, catch a replay and WATCH it. Swear, your 2 hour watch wouldn't be wasted. I have never been more proud in my life to be a Chinese. China has delivered an astounding performance and the next Olympics host will have to work their arses off to be as good or to surpass what China did today. I feel like China practically shoved in US's faces the power of China's economy now. Man, I wish I were there at Beijing. This experience would have been surreal. Timm's mom must have been so HAPPY! urgh!! =)

我是中國人！

Yey! I can finally type chinese characters here! Thanks to Apple! Now I gotta watch the games... yey!

Reaching the Impossible Dream

2008-08-02T14:54:00.000+08:00

*For some reason Scribefire doesn't work so I can't post youtube vids.. sobs*

Impossible Dream: GETTING AN A in Math/English/Computer

This week is supposedly an introduction to Ateneo's start of Hell week. I think every university has their own Hell Weeks but I think Hell weeks only happen because students will it up to be. We can't help it. Students really CRAM (i do!!) and therefore they only have limited time to do this humongous stack of homework. I tried to be a model student, try to do things ahead of time but I still can't help feel that I'm still cramming. Maybe it's because for once, I actually am studying Math and Computer. I have to pick up my book and notes and solve problems one after the other and this takes time. Surely, a college student's time is not enough.

This is my reaction to yesterday's Midterm exam and last Tuesday's Long Test. I scored a B (decent! yes! but still not what I expected.. grumbles!) on the Long test and I'm quite happy that I'm inching my way up. But last night's midterms is another matter. Let's not talk about it anymore. I'll just do what I normally do and hope for the best and expect the worst. URGHH..

Gosh, getting an A in English is hard. I mean I've only gotten 1 A, B+ and 3 Bs, please see my effort ma'm! I really love English and I hope please that I get a higher grade than B in the coming weeks. I like writing, please don't let me dislike it.

In other news.. a lot of happenings in the movie world!

Both Warner Bros and Disney released their teaser trailers of their upcoming movies specifically "Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince" and "The Princess and the Frog".
- news from TheMovieBlog

I can't wait for both movies! The Harry Potter movie franchise may have butchered (in a way) the novels but the movies actually keep getting better and better! I loved Movie 4 out of the lot (biased coz book 4 is my fave) and I hope this one keeps up. It's so nice to see a young Voldy! I must say the nephew of Ralph Fiennes looks the part (and he's cute!!) and does a nice little Voldy impression but this isn't enough to know if the movie will suck or not. The movie seems darker than usual. It has to coz _____!! Spoilers! haha :haha See the trailer for yourself

When Disney announced that they were going back to their traditional roots of 2D, I was ecstatic! I can't wait for another film like The Lion King or Littler Mermaid! I simply loved their animation and was excited what Disney could do this time. After seeing the teaser, I was a bit apprehensive. The heroine didn't sound like any of the heroines of Disney and I didn't like her accent for a minute there (am not against anybody mind you) but I still have hopes for this. Randy Newman (he did the music for toy story! a bug's life! more!) wrote the music and the creators of the Living Mermaid are behind it. I'm still staying positive. What extremely disturbed me was the firefly having teeth. I saw a few commented on the weirdness of this predicament and I couldn't help laughing at how funny it was once you notice the teeth! lolz! really hilarious. Watch!

I also want to share with you guys this vid. This video of a lion cub adopted by 2 American teens 30 years ago sparked the animal lover in me again. It just tears me up whenever I see the love between humans and animals. I know animals have spirits, they can understand us sometimes too, and they are the ones who really love unconditionally. I really want to build a wildlife preserve someday in Africa or South America. I'll do that... someday.. Go watch! Now I want a lion cub...

I told ya about moving to a condo right? OMG My parents allowed me! I'll be rooming with Jinny (it's hers! hehe) and her blockmate for a month to see if it really does cut expenses. I don't know whether to be happy or sad. I know I'm going to experience homesickness, I love home after all! Sighs.. I'll be moving tomorrow night =) haha!

Well I guess I'll post again sometime next week. Next agenda... Computer project and Filipino paper! Adieu! =)

Updates when I update! :cool

Discrepancy girl

2008-07-23T23:01:00.003+08:00

I can't post everyday.. Urgh as seen from the title, I deem it impossible to update everyday because of this inspiration flings I'm having. See, I can't even do my English feature article or my Filipino film review. How procrastination works..

I've been meaning to blog a lot though, and thought of continuing my video blog but alas I haven't had some "me" time for a while. This reminds me of the situation of Jin dorming/staying in a condo at Katipunan starting next week. This is to minimize travel expenses of course. I so want to join her but my parents say that it's too "early" for me and maybe I should reconsider. But I feel for my parents, do you know that we spend 20k a month on gas alone? With 3 cars, that's okay but it's still A LOT! My gosh. Compared to 8k spendings when I stay in a condo, I thought that this was the only option.

But I guess my parents would be very worried and all... my dad's really protective and they're scared for my safety and all, and I guess they don't want to be alone this early. My brother's going to junior term abroad next month up to January so they will be lonely. I guess I should wait now that I think about it.. there's always next year.. =) But I really want to experience being independent and alone. I'll wait for my own junior term abroad.

I watched The Dark Knight on the openind day. Despite it opening on a Thursday and I had classes the very next day, I still pushed my sched just to see what the hype is all about. Everyone has been raving about and maybe calling it as the "best" comic book movie ever. I wanted to see if it can beat Ironman. And did it? Well Heath Ledger did.

Heath Ledger LIVED in this movie. Please pardon the pun, but he did give life to the movie. Every scene with heath ledger with it was bursting with action, drama and intensity. I don't know if he deserves an oscar nomination, but if there were a best actor for comic book movie history, then Heath would have won it. He's better than Robert Downey Jr (I can't believe I'm saying this) because HE IS JOKER AND JOKER IS HIM. It's philosophy even. He just transformed into this psycho killer who has this fetish for make-up. I really loved his acting and he was SCARY. Certainly a PG-13 film.

But sadly, TDK had its flaws. Bale was too stiff for me in this movie as Batman, I feel as though Heath took too much attention away from Bale in the beginning that I forgot that this was a Batman film and not a Joker film. But he did justice in the end anyways. And the guy who played Harvey Dent was awesome too! But....OMG THE PLOT!! What the heck, it was all in shambles in the later part of the movie. It reminds me of a quote from Mark Kermode of BBC five live about the problem in comic book movies is that they always run out of steam by the end of the movie and I agree. The ending was simply terrible. I don't want to give anything away, but the way someone died in the end, it just wasn't right. HOW COULD THEY? And even if ___ didn't die, how could they show that scene? Some of the scenes too were waaay over the top and so far-fetch that it wasn't believable anymore. The movie was too long too and they could have ended the movie around 20 minutes less.

Anyway, I loved The Dark Knight but it's not a 10/10 for me. I'll give it a 8.5. Same as themovieblog's. I love Ironman better though.. lolz!! Please don't hit me with rotten tomatoes! Bato bato sa langit and tamaan ay huwag magalit.

On a "real-er" note, it was my one of my best pals, Lourdie's, Birthday bash last Suday! She just turned legal (umiinom na sya!! haha jokez!) It was great seeing past friends again coz how I miss them so!! For some reason, you know that HS friends will stand out among your college friends. These people are the ones who have stuck with you through thick (very very thick) and thin (very very thin) and you have shared OODLES of memories with them. Eating fish with them last Sunday (thanks super lourdie for the treat!) was so relieving coz... I miss them so. College isn't the same but it's a whole new wonderful experience too. I just haven't grasped it much yet.

I'm feeling weird again. Ever since we discussed the poem "Pag-ibig"(meaning love in Filipino dear readers) by Jose Corazon de Jesus, I just can't take something off my mind. If you've noticed, after 4 years of blogging, I've never once talked/discussed about love. Or my lack of it then. I do feel the need to be loved, after all, I am a human being and every human has this psychological thing and always attracted to the notion of love. Why do you think love poems and love stories rule literature? Everything revolves around love: religion, family, my love for blogging, games, wars, death, why everything involves love. Being emo may seem the lack of love, but still, you're inwardly seeking for that impossible thing. I am too. It's just sad that I'm not the type of person who openly shows it, who openly declares it. If i like a person, I'll just keep mum, or stay friendly with that person. How do you show it? How do you show the ultimate feeling? I don't know... Will I ever know?

Love...when will you come? I've got love of family, friends and God.. you know what I'm talking about..

Reminds me of the love this father showed to his disabled son. Watch the video please, I'd really appreciate it. It's really such a wonderful clip. This son you see, asked his dad if they could join the hardest triathlon and the dad agreed. See what the dad did for his son. All for his son.

Shoot em up!

2008-07-16T22:56:00.002+08:00

Bang Bang Bang!!

I never knew shooting a rifle could be fun and UBER TIRING!

Yap you heard that right guys, I am part of the trainees who want to join the ADMU's Rifle and Pistol Varsity team. Well I'm not in the team, but I'm aspiring to be. I really don't know why I joined though, maybe because it's the thrill of first holding a rifle, shooting your first target, or maybe just to escape PE and NSTP (not that I don't like both, but it's sort of a free cut to those na! hehee)

So yesterday was our first training/seminar day! As usual Chair and I were late because of me, I forgot why but we were one of the last ones. Haha! So Coach explained to us the basics:handling, parts, and shooting. I was lucky coz I was sort of inserted in the first batch of people who were the first ones to shoot and Coach personally taught me! My first try sitting was this:

Bulls eye!

My first shot was the far one at the lower right and all the rest of my 6 shots were straight in the middle! 6 Bulls eye! I thought it was beginner's luck! haha =)

Here's my second one, 4 shots, I have no idea why it looked like this:

4 shots?? WEH??

I don't exactly like it but I hope I can improve!! We were all standing at this point and were at proper stance. It's quite painful if your'e not a "stretchy" (i am not) since you gotta twist your torso and hold it at a very still position. Your left hand was technically in pain from carrying the rifle properly. I swear, you just don't "hold" a rifle, you gotta know how.

I'll be training up to October and try outs will be next semester! I'll be posting more of my targets in the future! hehee

Sighs.. I was just reminded a while ago of my paternal family's history of impatience and short-temperedness. My dad gets quite easily angry now and he was particularly angry at the computer because it couldn't connect to the internet. Without waiting for our help when we get home (anyway we got home late, around 8pm), my dad suddenly broke into a fury and PUNCHED our dear old desktop and of course... um... it..doesn't..wanna start now... Crap. It's a good thing and a bad thing. We've been meaning to change this old desktop computer because it's like 5-6 years old already and that's old for computers today. And man, there were really a lot of problems so I'm not sad to see it die. And I'm very glad that we've already transferred all our files to our external 1 terabyte hardrive a while back. Nothing was lost, thankfully. Hopefully we'll be getting a new one.

I'm kinda sleepy.. must sleep..

Updates when I update! hehe =)

Touch me not

2008-07-14T18:31:00.003+08:00

A blog post right after the very next day!!

Am I forming a 'good' habit? Perhaps.

Or maybe it's just because I'm a very bored kid. My parents are gonna leave me behind, all alone in the house, so maybe I have a chance at video blogging! I'll see what I can do. heehe =)

Today's my FIFTH free cut in PE and it's really, IRRITATING!! I mean this is my only source of exercise from all the studying and the instructor is taking that away from me! Not to mention that our PE tuition has gone to waste... Man, I understood the reason for the first 2 cuts, but this one? He gave us no warning at all. Sighs.. I miss muay thai!

I'm still having LSS from watching Mamma Mia! I grew up singing 80's, 90's songs and Abba was one of my favorites especially "I Have A Dream" and "Mamma Mia" and "Dancing Queen" of course! I just realized that they have other awesome songs and I'm downloading them all. Again, I was highly amused by Meryl Streep's (OMG SHE WAS CRAZY FUN!) and Pierce Brosnan's and Colin Firth's singing! I loved Meryl's 2 girl costars too! My gosh, i didn't know people above 40 could do what they did! My favorite scene has to be Mamma Mia scene, shucks, and for the first time in years, I heard the audience applause a movie at the end of the credits! GO WATCH IT PEOPLE!!

My gosh, college life has never been this full. I'm booked the whole week and have to go home later than 4:30pm. Tomorrow's supposed to be a half day but since I joined the rifle and pistol team (not yet varsity but I hope i learn and join too! haha) I have to attend this seminar about the basics of rifle handling. I'm excited and pissed at same time coz it had to be in the afternoon. On wednesday, i have to stay up to 6 for my Ateneo Christian Ministry Group Choir GA (yes, finally am part of the choir again!) I can't believe that I'm gonna practice my singing after how many years again. Haha! And every thursday from now on, I have to train using the rifle and I can't wait! Though it sucks to go home at 6pm *whimpers*. Friday, WE'RE GOING TO WATCH DARK KNIGHT! Well my block will and I can't believe that this is our first block outing EVER! whoot! yesh! Then we gotta stay up to 10pm for a Filipino play that we're required to watch. Our filipino professor directed it himself and he was mighty proud of it! I can't wait to watch it though! haha, Friday's gotta be the best day =)

Oh the title's random from a random quote from math class when one of the CoE blockmates suddenly SCREECHED, "DONT.........TOUCH..........MY.................F*******................BAG!!!!!" Lolz, that was said in a LOUD and RANDOM way. We were all shocked. Really. haha!

INTACT was so fun coz we finally had some group dynamics! haha I guess it was more FUN coz we won!! whoop! haha! The game wasn't anything new, the rules were something like arrange your group by ___ without speaking but the fun part was actually doing it! Man, I got to know a LOT of things like how long Poch's arm length is! WHOOA!! haha!! And the consequence by group 1 (Wormy jason! Crazy Ryan!) was hilarious! I think I lost a pound from all the laughing! Haha!~

I'm adjusting nicely to my block and I'm so happy that they're my companions for the whole 4 years. Go block N!! *hugz*

I'm so sorry to my blog sisters for only visiting their sites yesterday. I'm going to make a schedule already, like today, I'll visit Ate Kitty's Ate Scarty's and Ate Jays' blogs or something like that. Well tc now guys! =)

Updates when I update! :cool

Frustrated

2008-07-13T23:13:00.000+08:00

Argh, I'm very frustrated because my 2 attempts at uploading my very first video blog (yes, the shy Tiffany has had the courage lately to show her blah face and speak blahly for more than 5 mins) were all in VAIN! For some reason, youtube nor blogger video is not cooperating with me or maybe it's just a problem with my network connection. Now I think I have to do another video blog all over again but I don't know when. I have to wait until I'm alone of course to talk to you dear readers... If I have any... ='(

Anyway my life's going uphill, downhill, you know, like the cliche, "life's like a rollercoaster". I'm good with my block, had some bad grades, good in some, but basically nothing to report on.

Oh! It was my dear friend Camzee's debut yesterday! I loved the oriental theme and the korean food but I wondered why camzee wasn't in a kimono or something, it would have been cooler but her party was a blast nevertheless! Haha! And for some reason, I loved the hairstyle the hairstylist did on my hair, i think it's suitable but it may just be me. Someone would probably scream when they see this picture:

Lolz, the vain in me is bursting out! lolz

Well summer movies are here and I'm proud to say that I've watched almost all, well not all but anyways, I've recently watched Mamma Mia today and boy, I HAD SO MUCH FUN! Problem is i've only watched it alone (='() because my parents had to do shopping and my brother had to cram a long test or something and my friends all had different schedules so there I was alone. Good thing my seatmates were all loud and were laughing with me too! Really, I soo love Meryl Streep, Pierce Brosnan, Colin Firth and Amanda Seyfried in the movie!! Aww, if you guys are just in for some feel-good time or when you're down in the dumps, this movie will certainly lift your spirits. ABBA followers wouldn't be disappointed (hey I'm one! haha!)!!! =)

Well Updates when I update! :cool

Queer the 2nd

2008-07-08T18:16:00.002+08:00

If I am not mistaken, I think that this is my 2nd post regarding being Queer... not about me... but about how life is becoming crazier and crazier.

Look at this, 50 years ago, Cellphones and the internet (was it even conceptualized yet?) were only real in the ideas and imagination of people. Even travelling to the moon would just be an episode in one of the old X-files movie. Yet here we are ladies and gentlemen at the 10s of the 21st century who are all knowledgeable about stem cell research, apple products (everything with i in front of the word like, iMe or iWhatever) and more innovations that one can possible think of. Even though it is quite beneficial to humankind but I think that technology is a wee bit detrimental to our psychological, sociological and natural state of being.

We just had a debate about sex change and transexuals (I am not against them mind you) yesterday, about it being available to minors and also the recent news about the Fil-Am transvestite who gave birth to a healthy daughter were the rage of discussions. I mean look at society now, it's so different becaus everyone is becoming radical and all think that they are right therefore they just do whatever they want. It's just so different now. Back then, there were only 2 sexes, male and female, but now humanity can be classified to even as much as 5 sexes!! (INMHO). And what about women changing gender who then give birth to kids? I don't know, maybe it's because I'm weirded so much about the fact that I thought the woman was actually a man. If he was really a man, I'd puke if I'd know that he'd given birth because I for one, know that it is only possible in the game THE SIMS and it is between man and alien!! Brr!! Again, I am not against transexuals, it is just me speaking my opinion about it.

I lost my math notebook. And it's 2 days away from the Long Exam, HOW THE HECK AM I SUPPOSED TO REVIEW NOW?? Crap, i think i'll faint... I lost one of the pairs of my Momo earrings... noo! Why is everything going so wrong in my life now? Sighs.. and to think that I am experiencing panic attacks now. If you consider the heavy fast breathing and the feeling that you're gonna die and escape your body is a panic attack, then I had one. Grabe, I hope that I'll be sane after all of this.

My parents and I watched Hancock last Sunday (my brother was MIA again coz of gazillion projects - good thing I still don't have! hehe). It wasn't as good as expected but again, this movie was queer. The concept and storyline would have been great already if it weren't for the "twist" that they put. Dad then said that the plot was ripped off from a Bulaceno provincial tale about angels coming to earth and reproducing but eventually their existence faded away. I think it's a beautiful story. To think that there literally are angels among us.. It would be cool, wouldn't it? hehe.

On a lighter note, Stephie dear has been given by her cousin a domain! Go visit her scrumptious site right now!! lolz!

I think I'll go blog again next time, I forgot to say something! URGH! lolz

Doggy Ate Bone

2008-07-01T17:14:00.002+08:00

Our golden retriever Rocky just ate a chicken bone! Contrary to popular comic belief, dogs don't just go biting a chicken bone but they sort of try to chew and eat it as well therefore endangering their lives. It is quite dangerous for them since these bone shards could damage their intestines/stomach. I am so worried for Rocky!! GRR it's that darn brother of mine who doesn't know how to clean himself up therefore leaving chicken bone on the table within Rocky's reach! GREAT DARN IT!!! I don't want to lose another dog.... please let Rocky be safe... please..... Please do pray for him.

And to add to my sorrows is the news that a teacher assistant died around last Sunday and his body was only found yesterday morning at the Ateneo de Manila University. I only heard of it last night and I was really really shocked. To think that I even passed by De La Costa Hall when going to the leong hall for orientation for the debate. Wow.... it's really scary to know that someone died so close.... Grabe... May his soul rest in peace...

Well on the lighter side of things, June 28 marks history for it is the last day of Bill Gates at Microsoft. After years of hard work to establish his 260$ billion company, he is finally going to retire and leave his office. But nevertheless, Bill will still head his charity foundation. I got this news from Yugatech by the way and they have this nifty little video there about a parody of what Bill's last day would be. It's really HILARIOUS and great CAMEOS! Just watch it and you'll know what I mean.

I've always admired Bill Gates. I mean he made microsoft and who here doesn't have one?? Come on, you have got to have MS word. And Windows, who didn't start with windows here? It's not possible that you started out with Linux. Bill made a great impact to our world especially to mine and I just wanna thank him for that. He has changed how view things in life by enhancing our computer experience. Sure he isn't as creative as Steve Jobs and windows may be virus-filled but it's definitely the most user-friendly. And I admire him too for his great mind. High school dropouts turned successful are always my idols :Bill, Steve, Walt Disney and that guy from pursuit of happiness. These are all great people and I can't believe that Bill is retiring. Well have a good life Mr. Gates, you definitely deserved it! =)

Okay, school hasn't been that cool with me now. I've come to discover that I'm a C+ to B girl. Darn, how am I gonna be in the dean's list (ASA pa ako!) when all the grades I'm getting are all UGH?? People say that I should be contented with that score but the thing is I'm not. I don't want to be a one hit wonder. I want to make change people. I want to do my best and see my efforts bear fruit. I aspire to be a straight A student. Take note of aspire, it is likened to a dream that may or may not happen. Sighs... somebody help me out of this slump!

Well anyway, I'm not getting better but the summer movies are. I have already watched The Incredible Hulk, Prince Caspian, Kung Fu Panda and Wanted and surprisingly I liked all of them (well Prince failed my expectations and Kung Fu Panda was funnier than I expected, I gotta write a movie review about this!). Wanted was especially the MOST INTENSE non-horror film I have ever seen. And James McAvoy is now in my star list!! Ever since seeing him in Becoming Jane, I just knew that his guy is gonna MAKE IT BIG!! Haha! Anyway, my next attractions are Hancock, THE DARK KNIGHT, Hell Boy 2 AND MOST INFINITELY, WALL*E!!

OMG!! Did you guys read themovieblog review about Wall*E??? If people are seriously considering this as the BEST PIXAR MOVIE ever and even managed to knocked The Incredibles and Finding Nemo and Ratatouille (my best films for pixar ever!!) out of the ball park, then WALL*E MUST BE FRIGGING GOOOD! A movie mostly without dialogue, a movie who soley uses visual animation literally to create a story, a movie about robots who have FEELINGS, is actually better than any of these talking masterpieces. If this is true, then i CANNOT WAIT FOR AUGUST 13!! I have no idea why SM or any other cinema here wasn't able to get rights (or whatever you call it, sorry am not exactly a lawyer type of person) to distribute it here the same time as US does!! I mean Wall*E is one of the most awaited movies of the year and they didn't bring it here on time!! Nor did they to Dark Knight. I think this is totally unfair making a fan (aku!!) wait for a movie for 2 months! I mean, no wonder piracy is so prevalent here. I am just soo maaaadd!! URGH!

Anyway... I'm still waiting for the other cool movies like the new James Bond film, REPO the musical and more!! EEEK! I can't wait!! hehee

Sighs.. better go back to the real world now and do my assignment. Sighs, oh college life!

public static void.......EMPTINESS!!

Haha, geek much? For experts, I don't think so =)

I haven't blogged for a looonngg time and I realized how few I post. I remembered I turned 18 so I could finally join PayPerPost (yey!!) but then... I got rejected for the 2nd time because I have less than 10 posts per month, which is true. I mean if I'd post 10 posts per month then I would have gone over 100 posts already but I haven't! DARN! anyway, still trying to change that. :hehe

Just had my very first Long Exam in Math18 A&B a while ago and.... it's not preetty! Especially the PROVING PART! I just can't get the hang of proving and to think that's gonne be the most important part for my course anyway. Wah, I hope I'll be enlightened soon. I do hope. I think maybe I got around more than 50pts, I have to get at least 100/200 (for the first 2 long tests) to stay in the regular track. I don't wanna hinder my studies and prolong an agonizing summer which I have already lost since I'm supposed to study every summer. Sighs, unless I go to CS JTA of course, and I can't wait for that! That 3.0 maintenance grade is VERY hard to do after all. Sighs... oh ateneo blue, you make me so blue!!

Don't get me wrong though, I'm loving my Ateneo life. Seriously. I can't ask for a better block (BLOCK N YOU ROCK GUYS!). College is supposed to be an experience of culture shock but I didn't get any of that at all. Everyone's so down to earth and game for anything. We have big bro Beau and little shoti (though he's not little and it's actually quite disturbing to know that he is the youngest!!) Bok. And we've got some crazy antics already especially RYAN! Grabe, dami mong mais na mais na jokez! lolz!!

I'm so glad to say that I also don't have any terror teachers. Though there is the exception of the STRONG hypnosis of Drowsy but he does teach well. Just, you know, hypnosis is STRONG. Math is fun, Eng is fun, Lit is fun, Comp's fun, Intac's fun but FIL is thE FUNNEST! I can't believe I'm saying this, but I think Fil would be my most enjoyable class because of Sir Tenorio! haha! Galing!! grabe, my favorite Filipino poem is officially "Sa Poetry" by Rolando S. Tinio. Just read for yourself (sorry my dear friends who can't understand Filipino)and you'd know what I mean.

Sa Poetry
by Rolando S. Tinio

Sa poetry, you let things take shape,

Para bang nagpapatulo ng isperma sa tubig.

You start siyempre with memories,

'Yung medyo malagkit, kahit mais

Na mais: love lost, dead dreams,

Rotten silences, and all

Manner of mourning basta't murder.

Papatak 'yan sa papel, ano. Parang pait,

Kakagat ang typewriter keys.

You sit up like the mother of anxieties.

Worried na worried hanggang magsalakip

Ang odds and ends ng inamag mong pag-ibig.

Jigsaw puzzle. Kung minsan, everything fits.

Pero sige ang pasada ng images

Hanggang makuha perfectly ang trick.

At parang amateur magician kang bilib

Sa sleight-of-hand na pinapraktis:

Nagsilid ng hangin sa buslo, dumukot,

By golly, see what you've got---

Bouquet of African daisies,

Kabit-kabit na kerchief,

Kung suwerte pa, a couple of pigeons,

Huhulagpos, beblend sa katernong horizon,

You can't say na kung saan hahapon.

Konyo (Mix of English and Filipino) has never been this fun!!

I've become a commuter girl too. With the company of either Jason, Paul, Ben or SJ friends (chaaaiirr and bobss! and timms! pamc! tiff h!), I've become more aware of the ropes of commuting. I really like using the LRT, reminds of HK. It is anyway cheaper than going by car. I'm sort of a cheapskate... well.. sometimes lang! Walking anyway is a GREAT exercise (IT IS, JASON!) haha

Topic change! If Stephie has currently acquired an obsession for Bento boxes, I on the other hand, am obsessing for....

BAGS!!! SHOULDER BAGS, BAYONG BAGS, BIG BAGS!!!! BAGS!!!

Sorry, just had to let that out =) hehe. Anyway, I'm drooling over bags since apparantly I'm in College already and my school bags are just to grade school already so I would want a change of bags. But I think i went overboard with the help of my enthused mom and got myself around 5 new bags. Of course, they come in different colors and material but one thing they'll always have in commons is the SIZE. They MUST be BIG! Ateneo does load us with a lot of books and your bags must be prepared to tackle them! haha. The bag that I really want now is the Prada's Striped Nappa tote.

The blending of the different hues of red is just magnificent! And the size is just right too. Price isn't though!! I'm not rich enough to buy these, but when I have the moolah to just waste my money, I'm gonna get that bag. Or one that's like it anyway... Such a sinful obsession.. URGH!! Maybe it'll pass soon but anyway... i just love that bag. I'll take pics of my bags sometime. hehe

Life's going pretty well and I can't wait to get to school now. See ya block N tomorrow! Breakfast ah! hehe =)

I do miss SJ peepz though... D' TAMAGOCHI!! Miss you!! And mga SJ peepz, ingatz ah! =)

Whirlwind of Passion.

If you've met me personally, you wouldn't think I'd have an ounce of art inside me but of course, I am a trying-hard girl. I try. So this reminds me of the time I wrote a song. Yes, a SONG. With tone, lyrics and everything and the title's sort of like this. I've already lost a copy of it but I remembered it just this month. Well maybe it's because of what I've gone through the past weeks (notice the empty posts?? lolz!!)

Last birthday was probably the best ever because I was with my very best friends. We stayed overnight at Dusit Hotel - my treat - and binged, I meant devoured asian cuisine, and swam for 2 hours and of course, watched Sex and the City with my girl friends! LOlz, we had A BLAST, especially the surprise they had for me that night! Huhu.... thanks so much guys!! I'm officially a RED LADY! lolz, haha! Belated Happy 18 again to me! Thanks to those who greeted me! hehe =)

But what I really did on my birthday was RUNNING AROUND in ateneo. Yep, ya heard that right. ATENEO na ako!! lolz. After 13 years of being cloistered in SJ, i've finally broken free and found another school in ADMU! hehe. Well we had our ORSEM, orientation thingy for us freshmen. It was probably the weirdest and one of the most fun 3 days of my life! hehe, Weird because I would be mingling with A LOT OF NEW PEOPLE (block N!! di na kayo new noh? lolz!) from Ning and especially my blockmates! haha, I was so nervous because I hate adapting to new environment. I really hate it. I mean I became a loner for a year nung grade 4 because our classes were shuffled so I wondered how I was going to survive in Ateneo. I just didn't know how! haha, but thankfully the ORSEM changed all that.

It has already been a week since I entered college and frankly I'm still adjusting to all those break times, those far off and not so far off buildings and especially, the NO AIRCON! huhu, I spent 6 years in airconditioned classroom and my hot-blooded human self can't take it! lolz. haha =) Anyway, I'm having problem most at math (WHO WANTS TO TUTOR ME PROVING?? heehee ) En and lit are my faves, filipino is just starting tomorrow, and CS, uh... I hope I enjoy it! hehee. Anyway, here's to a new BEGINNING! I'm so nervous... I really am...

Oh well, hopefully I'll be able to blog more next week. Hehe!

Movie update! Watched The Incredible Hulk and Kung Fu Panda already! GREAT POPCORN MOVIES! hehee =)

GO TO MY MULTIPLY FOR MORE PICS! hehe, tamad aku magpost ng pic, siguro I'll post a photoblog next time in case I've become so lazy. Lolz

I haven't bought anything online for a while because it's just so hard to find for the specific thing that you want. I mean, you get the feeling right? Even after hours of searching, nothing was able to suit your taste so you give up. But I've found a site that's clean, user-friendly and easy to use for your online shopping needs! Head over to Shopwiki and you'll see why.

Shopwiki instantly gives you the options to find the specific item that you want through categories and more subcategories. It's really useful since for example, I am looking for a backpack for college, and I so happen to want a Cartoon-designed bag, once I click backpack, I'll be instantly led to a page where I am given more options to customize my backpack. Additional information for the buyer is given and this is what I like about it. I have an overview of the products that I am viewing instead of just a garble of pictures and prices. Major brands are also listed at the bottom in case you mean to find a specific brand. Even indoor light fixtures have categories so that you will be able to beautify your home accordingly. Shopwiki also gives a hand to the confused and fickle one. It will help you find a product for a specific occasion like, this Father's Day! Get your dad that awesome headphone or the guitar that he's been wanting since forever. Not only dad gets a gift, but your mom, boss, nerdy people can get one too! Shopwiki also offers helpful links that will help you further personalize your search and item.

Shopwiki is so neat (Not much ads!!) and so easy to use, you'll wonder why you never found it before. I hope that I'll be able to use Shopwiki in the future, and I'm sure that they'll provide a very secure and good service.

So shop easily with Shopwiki! =)

Is this a song? wee... Anyway, I can't believe I actually finished one of my goals in life :

DRIVING A SHIFTSTICK!

Before learning the fun and art of driving, I was always afraid to try it out. I mean, my mom has been nagging me to drive since last year because she wanted another "driver" so that she can go out without hearing my father utter some grumbling words or the protests from my brother. I was the next choice left and I was also her partner-in-crime in shopping anyways so it's a good deal for us both lakwatseras. But I was the one who didn't want to drive. Since my bro got hit by a 40-footer truck, I've been wary and very afraid of crazy drivers who aren't Speed Racers but still trying to be. I'm afraid of crossing intersections for fear of being crushed. But last week, my father suddenly told me, "Go sign this form, you're going to get your student's permit." And I was like...." I WILL???" Lolz, he then told me that I'd start last Monday. I couldn't believe my ears, I was finally going to the pit of DOOM.

So came Monday and I woke up at the ungodly hour of 6am (hey, it's not right for summer!) and did my morning ritual (the usuals, take a bath, eat something and stuff) and waited for the instructor to come pass by our house since the Socialites driving school was only a minute away from our house ON FOOT. 7am passed....and i was still waiting. 7:30 passed by too and still he wasn't here yet! Finally, we heard the roar of his engine at 8am. Apparantly he didn't know that we scheduled an appointment at 7am. Man, what kind of management do they have there? Anyway, we started with the basics of turning on the car, going forward, going backwards. I was getting the hang of it except I still have to measure the amount of gas I press. Then it was time to really hit the road! I thought that they had a field or something for practice, but our instructor told me that the road was their field! SHOKE! I was so frightened when I finally rounded up the corner because of the fear I told you about. I didn't even wanna turn the wheel! But I was egged on by my father anyway and I did it.....AND LIVED TO TELL THE TALE!!

Anyway, it's been 5 days hence. I have already driven along Quezon Ave, Sgt. Rivera, N. Domingo, and of course the famous EDSA! Grabe ang traffic doon! lolz, it was an achievement for me because after only 7 hours of driving school, I was able to go to EDSA and go up along 3 bridges WITH TRAFFIC. Now I can proudly say that I am a 50% accomplished driver. I'm still a beginner and I have to steer better. I always am either too close to the right or left. And grabe the clutch still have to practice it. haha!

My birthday's coming in a week, and I'm gonna have a pre-birthday bash with my friends at Dusit Hotel tomorrow! My treat =) Overnight and swimming and EATING= LOADS LOADS OF FUUNN! woooo!

I'm really starting to sound so much like a glutton...hopefully college will stress me out enough to lose a few pounds! lolz

Oh yeah, speaking of college, I'm now finally in BS Computer Science. I shifted from Management honors to Computer Science last April and it was only until now that they said I was accepted. First they said I was denied, ngayon naman accepted, haay talaga. Pero sure, am in CS already. I'm just so apprehensive though, am I making the right decision? Good thing my uncle e-mailed a few golden words to me, I did the right thing and I can even double major BS MGT for more business opportunities here and abroad. All I can say is, THANK YOU!!! I needed that support and to know I did the right thing. Wish me luck in the future guys! I guess I'll be learning Comp speak now. lolz!! =)

Oh, pls do scroll down and read my technilicious post! haha, it's really an upbeat one. hehehe
Gotta go now! hehe

Updates when I updates!

2008-05-28T22:39:00.000+08:00

Nonsensical subjects are my favorite things. Nonsensical blog posts are too. =)

I'm hungry.. and it's 11pm. Is this an illness? Or do I have some worms in my tummy?? ARRGHH!! And Tiffany C's and co's group blog Manila Foodistas isn't helping me at all! SO MANY YUMMMY THINGS! Haha! I really like their food reviews since they're all informative and of course, they provide such delisshh pics! I think they deserve a nomination as one of the top most influencing blogs.

I haven't told you about the letter I received a week ago from an inmate from Orient Ohio. Somehow he got my address from a friend of his who does penpalling and he sent me a letter hoping that I'd write back. He's 26 years old, a father of a beautiful son, 5'11'' and he's in prison for drug trafficking and he hopes to find friendship. I don't know if I should reply. My first reaction to this was WHAT THE HECK??!!! But after a week's thoughts, I think I'd write him a letter too. I have heard of people who want to change for the better and usually people too are the ones that can help him change. It will be nice if I'd give some light to somebody. I don't know. Maybe I need to think more......

I've been having problems with my 5-year old Sony camera. It's bulky and slow, I mean I can't properly picture events and fast moving objects. What I love about though is it's endurance. I mean it has lived for 5 years and it's still alive somehow right? My parents granted me a chance to purchase of a Canon Ixus 970IS since our pet's vet is having a vacation in the US and I could get at least less shipping fee there. The good thing is I found a bargain at Adorama for their very affordable Canon bundle pack! It includes a free table top tripod (I love this!), extra 1 gig memory card, extra battery, camera case and of course the camera box itself. My mum and I, along with Pawpi and Venice, went to Dra's house a while ago to have their scheduled shots and of course to finally get my camera! I've already installed and read the manual (adrenaline can really make you move at ultra speed) and tested all the scenes and capabilities of the IXUS 970IS/ Powershot SD 890IS and all I can say is.... YES NICE COOL!! I absolutely love it! It's 10MP is no joke, and the optical zoom is love. The features all work top notch and I'm glad to have this camera. Well, it's another 5 years till I find a new love. I wonder if Apple would make one... lolz! I'm a Mac-Fan!

Speaking of Mac, I did tell you guys that my sweet sweet mum bought me an ipod touch last march right? Well, i'm proud to say that I have more features than a normal ipod touch owner because I have jailbroken it! It's a term made (most likely) by hackers that means total control of owner over the ipod. Once an ipod touch/phone is jailbroken, it will be able to install various COOL applications and customizations for the itouch. The are endless possibilities now for my itouch. But of course the bad thing about jailbroken ipod is sometimes there are bugs that wreck your ipod. I had a similar problem when I installed the guitar hero theme for tap tap revolution (like dance dance revo, but using fingers!) and unfortunately, my ipod froze and dived into recovery mode. I panicked because the only way to undo this is to restore it which means I HAVE TO ERASE ALL MY DATA! I wanted to cry right then and there but of course, I searched online another way to restore it without losing any data and I have found them from my fellow jailbreakers. I wanna all the guys who made this possible out there.

Here's a pic of my itouch! Hello Kitty much? haha! I've got
more themes! hehe

Just a list of my top 10 most favorite ipod touch applications
10. Twinkle - I can now do mobile twitter without having to pay for anything! Cool noh?
9. Safari - Itouch is now a micro laptop, NEAT!
8. Pianist - My dreams of being a pianist is not over, I can still piano without a piano!
7. Magic 8-Ball - Useful for useless questions
6. HuangRongDao - a game that'll BOGGLE UR MIND!! Just like a rubix cube
5. Pool - it helps pass time. I miss billiards!
4. Converter and MaCalc - A scientific calculator and converter
3. Tris - best tetris game ever!
2. Chuzzle and IZooo - love these games! have to get them 3 in 1 row
1. TAP TAP REVO!! - Super love it! Listen to tunes while tapping beats!

I've found a new fave site, YUGATECH!! It's handled by Abe, a Filipino blogger, who lives off solely by advertising on his blog for now. He does own a few companies though. For more info, just go to his blog. Since I'm pretty much a tech-savvy person, i love to read about the latest technology deals, gadget reviews, and controversies (facebook vs google! wow) but I haven't found a site that particularly involves the Philippines market before Yugatech arrived. I'm glad I've found it! Gotta bookmark it now! hahaa =)

Well, talk again later peepz!

Updates when I update! =)

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull

2008-05-28T20:20:00.000+08:00

Finally what the people have been waiting for, the long-awaited sequel to this more than 20 year old franchise! I wasn't born in the 1980's so I wasn't particularly an Indiana Jones baby but thankfully, my parents introduced me to the coolest whip-wielding archaeologist professor there is! No wonder I wished to become an archaeologist back then eh? It was an exciting job that offered dangerous adventures and I was an insatiable kid with a thirst for adventure. I don't know about now though, I've just become a bum then but anyway... onto the movie!!

Paramount Pictures gives us a look at the new Indy adventure
" When we last saw Indiana Jones on screen, it was 1938, and the world stood on the brink of war as Dr. Jones chased down evildoers to find the Holy Grail. Nineteen years later, he’s cracking his whip again, and many things have changed ... but some have remained the same. Again, the world is at a precipice, this time caused by the specter of nuclear annihilation, and Indy’s struggle is once again to ensure that a precious, mysterious object remains safe from those bent on destroying humanity."

Okay, it doesn't say much about the story itself like what's that Alien-head-shaped crystal on the movie poster? And what were the roles of Cate Blanchet and Shia?

Basically the movie starts pleasantly to the tunes of Elvis' Hound Dog while watching some kids racing somewhere in the Arizona. We're brought to some warehouse (note the number of the warehouse people!) and are introduced to the cold and beautiful Russian agent, Irina Spalko and her men. And of course, Indy finally makes his debut appreance with a bang! Irina is asking for Indy's aid to her plan on achieving great psychological power over the US using the crystal skull. As the movie progresses, Indy is joined by the young greasy Henry "Mutt", son of Marion Ravenwood (Indy's former flame), his wartime pal Mac and fellow prof Harold Oxley. The adventure takes them to a wild goose chase in the very heart of the Amazon and all of them are in the hunt to return the Crystal Skull.

I really liked this movie despite being confused at the beginning. I mean, I haven't watched an Indy flick since grade one! What surprised me though was Harrison Ford's youthful vitality and agility. That 65-year old man SURE CAN MOVE! Sure you can see the obvious signs of frailty in his appearance but it didn't show in his actions. All the action scenes were great and I can bravely say that I enjoyed this as much as Transformers, a heavy heavy action movie. The warehouse scene and the jungle chase were the best scenes for me. You just have to love the jungle scene, you just have to! But I hated the ants, I SWEAR I HATE ANTS!

Ford and Blanchett were awesome in the movie. Shia showed some maturity but I have some doubts if he'll be as good as Ford. He's.... not serious enough? lolz!! I loved seeing Karen Allen reprise her role as Marion Ravenwood. Lolz, I saw some clips of Raiders of the Lost Ark and I loved the pair of them! Am glad they got back together again. OOPS SPOILER!! I think.. ahha!

So I loved this movie. No it wasn't as good as the one wherein Indy had to grab a heart of the Indian! Many critics are claiming that it didn't have a chance against the past 3 films and I must agree. But, this film is still worthy of praise.

Go watch it peepz! Surely, you'll enjoy this sequel! =)

Iron Man Movie Review

2008-05-28T19:32:00.002+08:00

The recent blockbusters shown this summer has triggered the movie-geek in me again. I mean who here can proudly say that their favorite site is a movie blog? Well I can, and anyway, this particular movie practically nudged me to do a review! hehe.

Superhero movies are generally money-making movies since some people are already familiar with their backgrounds and of course, we can't wait to see a new Superman or a new Batman or some other reason. The main point is that they make a lot of money therefore we still keep on seeing these superhero movies made (look, in just a few years, we're gonna get to see another Incredible Hulk movie). So no matter how small that superhero is, it's gonna make big money, but nobody anticipated Ironman -what some people call a rip-off of Batman of DC comics - t$o be HUGE SUCCESS! 100+million dollars on the opening weekend! Whoa, THAT IS HUGE! Not since Batman Begins or Spiderman or Transformers have I enjoyed a superhero movie in a long time! They say that only a few people know Ironman so they wouldn't be too sure if it would even make $70M but I have heard of Ironman from my bro WHO IS A HUUGGEE FFAANN! I also enjoyed the cartoons back then. hehe well for those who don't know Ironman, the movie, here's my own brief synopsis.

Ironman is about rich tycoon Tony Stark who was kidnapped by terrorists using his own weapons for 3 months in Afghanistan. He was tasked to build a superpower weapon, the Jericho missile, for them but instead, he built his own "Iron" (of course it's something titanium metal thing) suit and sought his freedom. Seeing the error of his ways, he tries to change his company but as always, change isn't always approved by everybody which results in pandemonium and of course, more iron suits! wee!

What made Ironman different was it was "less dark" than Batman Begins. It had more comic relief moments. The lady love wasn't a whiny heroine who was captured by the villain. And of course, the movie had Robert Downey Jr. This guys IS the movie. He brought charisma and depth to the movie. He played Tony Stark so perfectly that he probably deserves and Oscar nod, that is if he will get one anyway. The visuals are also breathtaking especially the scene when he was testing the suit! Love it! But transformers was better on VFX though.

So Ironman, could be my best superhero movie this year. It could change though, I mean the Dark Knight is coming in just a few months, and my favorite villain for Batman is there! Plus, as they say, the late Heath Ledger could give Jack Nicholson a run for money! And plus, the trailers are awesome! And Katie holmes is ooouutt! hehee =)

Speed Racer Movie Review

2008-05-28T19:22:00.002+08:00

I have already posted this review on my multiply but I wanna share it too with other non-multipliers (lolz, that was a weird word) I figured that this blog needs spicening up and I'm trying to find specific things to do with it like do a bunch of reviews or something. I was inspired by yet again another Filipino blogger who left his day job and started blogging full time. I wanna leave a legacy on the net too, if just little by little. So here's my review of Speed Racer!!

I love all kinds of anime, animes about cooking, fantasy, blah blah but there was this particular cartoon which didn't catch my interest. It was speed racer. Sure I caught glimpses on cartoon network of a racer and a monkey but I never bothered to stay on the channel. So when it was going to be adapted for a live-action movie, I didn't know what the buzz was about and why it even deserved to be made into a movie. And when finally may 8 came, I just had this excitement to watch the movie. My mummy wanted to watch it too so there it was settled. We were going to watch speed racer.

Here's a synopsis from imdb.com for those who are not familiar with Speed Racer.
"Hurtling down the track, careening around, over and through the competition, Speed Racer is a natural behind the wheel. Born to race cars, Speed is aggressive, instinctive and, most of all, fearless. His only real competition is the memory of the brother he idolized-the legendary Rex Racer - whose death in a race has left behind a legacy that Speed is driven to fulfill. Speed is loyal to the family racing business, led by his father, Pops Racer, the designer of Speed's thundering Mach 5. When Speed turns down a lucrative and tempting offer from Royalton Industries, he not only infuriates the company's maniacal owner but uncovers a terrible secret-some of the biggest races are being fixed by a handful of ruthless moguls who manipulate the top drivers to boost profits. If Speed won't drive for Royalton, Royalton will see to it that the Mach 5 never crosses another finish line. The only way for Speed to save his family's business and the sport he loves is to beat Royalton at his own game. With the support of his family and his loyal girlfriend, Trixie, Speed teams with his one-time rival-the mysterious Racer X - to win the race that had taken his brother's life: the death-defying, cross-country rally known as The Crucible."

The trailer itself was already overloaded with bright and neon colors and I thought that it was going to be painful to watch. And it was. My family wasn't able to catch the first 10 minutes of the movie so when I stepped inside the theatre, we were already in the middle of a very confusing race and at the same time, there was story telling involved. It felt very confusing because a lot of things were going on at once at the speed the Mach 5 was in. This could probably be the cause of us being late, I don't know. So next time i really won't be late!!! So anyways, as the movie progressed, I finally caught on with the story. Mind you, I am a person who has no background regarding speed racer as in NULL, so despite this movie being a willy wonka racing version, I actually understood the movie.

This is definitely not a spiderman movie or what, but what made me give it a 4 star was because, it had an understandable storytelling for me. The brothers-directors did a good job of it. And I do love the RACES! I know rottentomatoes gave it only a 35%, deeming it rotten, and some critics HATED the races, but i disagree. I LOVED IT! Especially the grand prix! I mean, this movie is actually entertaining. Sprite and the Chimp were hilarious without being over the top. Pops was good. Though Christina Ricci was disturbing for me... but still, it was a good movie! And plus, after seeing this movie, i am practically sure that all the kids would scream, "Mommy, i wanna be a racer too!". I know I did =) hehe.

So it's a silly kaleidoscope colors of a movie but what an enjoyable movie!

DAVID COOK! YOU ARE THE MAAAN!!

2008-05-22T10:52:00.002+08:00

I've been meaning to blog again and again, but now is the only time I seriously wanted to blog. I mean, I received a letter from an inmate from Ohio who wants to be friends, I didn't blog that yet. My ipod is in recovery mode and I most likely have to restore it but I still haven't blogged about that. And that my friend just came home from Egypt, I still haven't blogged about that but after just watching American Idol a few seconds ago... I JUST HAVE TO BLOG ABOUT THIS!!

Never in my 4 years as an idol fan have been as excited about a winner or final 2 up to now. Well maybe except for the season of Carrie. That was the best man, absolutely the best. And i stood my ground and voted for her from auditions to the finals. I knew that she was the one the moment I heard her sing. The year of Taylor Hicks was really a let down. I wanted McPhee to win but I knew Chris Daughtry was better. But Chris didn't even make it to the top 3. McPhee didn't even win over Taylor! What a disappointment. And then last year, I wanted Melinda to win. I spotted her like Carrie in the auditions and knew that she had the best vocals. But she didn't even make it to the finals so i wasn't interested in the finals much. Then this season came. The auditions came and went and I still had no pick. Top 12 already and I still had no pick but then, as time went by, I noticed DAVID COOK. He looked better, he sang with originality, he ROCKED all the songs. I noticed David A by top 24 because of my dad, he sang well but.. he just didn't have the spark! No wow factor for me. By top6, I already predicted that David Cook and David A will battle it out in the end. Top 6 was the only time I really picked David Cook as my bet.

I have never picked on a rocker, like Bo Bice and Chris Daughtry because I just didn't notice them much. Ballads and Country songs were more of my thing but there was just something about Cook. He already had a number one single on the radio before he even got out of AI but I wasn't able to hear it until last week only and yeah, I am hooked. His version was even better than Mariah's. Cook just had something. So when I watched the finals last night, I was screaming for COOK COOK COOK! But Simon was screaming, DA KO-ED DC! Wow, I became worried for Cook because usually Simon's predictions were correct. I did wish that somehow for the first time, I wished that Simon was wrong.

AND HE IS WRONG!

He knew it today when he apologized to DC, when he said that he didn't care who wins this season because they were all great. He knew it. and yes, DAVID COOK IS THE NEW AMERICAN IDOL! I'm so happy for him and yes, I even cried a little for him because I was just so happy. Never have I wanted anybody to win as much as he did because he deserved it more than anyone. Huhu......... I'm a fan David Cook, and I'm gonna support ya till the end!!

Let's thank his younger brother for forcing him to audition! YEAH THANK YOU MAN! hahaaha, it's all that guy's fault! =)

So David Cook, I'm a fan. Enough said. =)

Optimissimu

2008-05-17T12:15:00.002+08:00

Okay, so the title's a made up word but does it ring a bell - any bell - for you guys on any matter?

Well so okay

It's my mangled word for optimism.

Since I'm much of a gaya-gaya (fil word for those who can't understand which means copycat BUT NOT IN A BAD SENSE, hopefully), I decided to join Issa's league of optimism/positive blogs so I'll probably post another one of these in the upcoming weeks, months, years, who knows. I just wanted to post something to remind me how lucky I am still. How lucky we all are and how happy we really are in the midst of all these catastrophes and chaos.

Here's my Top ___ reasons why I'm incessantly happy/joyful/exuberant/quirky/perky/silly/goofy/weirdo this past months

1. I've graduated High school. Mission accomplish for goal number one! One small step for Tiff, a giant leap for Tiffy kind! (meaning, me too? lolz)

2. Being an AYF NDA 2008. Nothing can compare to the magic of stage and friendship. I LOVE BROADWAYS! The people here, made my summer more interesting than usual.

3. I'm still alive, i wasn't killed in some tremendous earthquake. Oh, and I encourage you all to please, please, help in some way the victims of the calamity in China. 22000 have already been reported dead but I'm sure that thousands more are buried within the grime and rubble and are trapped in collapsed buildings. Donate to Tzu chi or some org like it.

4. I've met some Atenista batchmates even before the school year. Well even before the Orsem anyway. Even though the communication is only through ym or the fresh atenean site, I'm so thankful that I've met them.

5. I've commuted with my best pals yesterday. I miss riding the jeep, the LRT and i hope i get to do it again. The sense of independence overwhelms me. I realized that I, will never get lost as long as i know how to commute (and bring a good umbrella)

6. The play-offs are happening this month, i mean, this is probably why i love watching NBA, to tease my brother and to feel the excitement on court!

7. SUMMER MOVIES. US summer movies that is. There's a great line up this what with Ironman as an opening number and speed racer next, and then the Indy movie, and then Prince Caspian, Dark Knight.... OMG!!! I CAN'T WAIT!

8. American Idol is the bomb! No matter if I don't have a pick this season, I do have a bet. (Ang gulo ko noh? heehe) DAVID COOK, YOU ARE GOING TO WIN!!

9. Going back to scouting, even for just 3 days, has been a blast. I recall the endless sleepless nights, the fun at camp, the commanding and SAGO, oh boy i miss them! I also got to meet my 2nd mother and the other scouts as well! missed them all!

10. Haha, sleep late, wake up late, this is what summer is all about.

11. Okay, i gotta admit, the food and lakwatsa makes me A TON HAPPY this summer. A TON.

12. International Herald Tribune is the best newspaper, anywhere. READ IT! Great comics too! lolz, Calvin and Hobbes and dilbert are my fave! Snoopy too =)

So i think this is it. I'll probably post again next time.

Updates when I update! =)$

One less tooth

2008-05-06T20:20:00.002+08:00

So here i am, now one-tooth-less person, blogging in this whole wide world. haha! ya heard it right, I just had a molar extraction (sepcifically, a surgery) in the right lower back of my mouth. I can feel the stitches and the emptiness... The process wasn't pretty since basically i was awake for the whole 2 hours of it (2 HOURS! 2 FRIGGING HOURS!! CAN YOU JUST SAY "LOOONNG"?) and I could hear the sawing of superficial bone and the I could feel the pushing movement up to my jaw. It wasn't painful at all, well there were a few times i had to say "OW!!" or something like that but so far it was painless. Pain did come around 8pm that evening but good ol painkillers and super cool compressors did the trick. It's my 2nd day and I can't talk much for fear of the stitches getting unstitched so it's just sigh language and right side talking for me for now then. Heehe. wanna see the tooth? Gonna post a pic later on! hehee.

Chair came over a while ago just to chat and watch some dvds! She even brought some forgot-the-name-of-ice-cream-basta-it-was-deliicciiouuss ice cream!! Ice cream and cold stuffs made up for the little pain I was experiencing.

Well I don't have much to say today, well till next time! heehee =)

Updates when I update! =) :cool

Exuberant

2008-05-04T17:27:00.004+08:00

Wow, I didn't realize that I've been on weeks' hiatus now. I don't know if maybe I've just lost the passion to write or the ability to blog interestingly and now forced to think that I suck at this job. Hahaa! I mean look, even my blog URL has now been erased in my firefox history and isn't even on one of my saved pages anymore. what the heck? But i am once again influenced to continue due to Stephie's newly revived blog!! OMG IT'S REVAMPED! Check it out!

Scribefire looks so much better now and there are more features! yeahh! hehee I can now post youtube videos and flickr photos but what I noticed is that all my pages are saved as drafts even if I leave the checkbox unchecked. Is it just me or is there a bug in scribefire? Oh well I'll still write using scribefire and just check using blogger. The good thing about scribefire is that they save whatever you write. Yep, IT ACTUALLY SAVES which is a good thing for me, the blogger who has the tendency to erase posts. I'm just unlucky. Or maybe I shouldn't say that or else I'll get even unluckier. Oh well.. I'm talking to myself again.

So it's summer, May to be precise and what have I done? Have i found a job that has willingly taken me in that allows minimum-pay wage? Have I learned how to drive the ~~streets~~ car? Have I beaten my bro at something? ALL NO!!

NO!!!!

NO!!!

*sighs dramatically* (yeah am a drama queen, go figure)

I tell ya what I've been doing. I've been going to RCBC tower, makati (ooh cool!) to rehearse with my co-AYF NDAs (alfonso yuchengco foundation national discipline awardees! - what a mouthful!) for our broadway production of sorts EVERY SINGLE DAY LAST APRIL (either 10-6 or 1-6). Well mostly M-T-W-TH-F-S. I did absent myself twice though. and some days if Kuya Herbie was happy or because of an accident, we'll have a day off so technically it wasn't every single day. When I first learned that I was a national discipline awardee, I just thought that it was just an award that Ms. Bagsic suggested that I join so that I'd have a medal or something. I didn't expect commitments or life-changing situations. Before we became awardees, we were asked to write the usual essay of "How, as an NDa, will I be able to change the world?" Well I just wrote something about Singaporean prime minister, Lee Kuan Yew, and learning to change yourself first before you may change the world and all that ~~crap~~ stuff. So when I was chosen, I didn't expect that I'd get in an organization that really changes lives. Ironic isn't it? Well it's irony for me anyway. And to think that in other schools, it was either the valedictorian or SCCB president who gets this award and that some even fight for this because of the ahem... cash award (7.5 dude!! 7.5!!) I thought that it was really cool!

But of course, the 7.5k was depleted because of gas, food and stuff you needed when you go to Makati everyday and you live an hour away from the place. What made this experience very special was the people. The peepz made it happen. The peepz made this summer one of the most memorable and unforgettable event of my life. I mean look, praying wouldn't be the same anymore (right guys?) and I would always look for one of Marck's crazy adventures, or my adopted daughter's high-pitched voice (but who has A BOOMING SINGING VOICE!). Life would go on but some things wouldn't be the same anymore. I look at a giraffe and I would go - HEY TRIXIE! or something. This summer will be full of nostalgic memories, and I hope that I'd be able to go to our outing this Sat. Due to unfortunate circumstances (__rents. you gets?), i'm not sure if i'll be able to go. Darn! So guys, I just wanna say thank you. Thank you!!!!!!! *hugz*

Thanks rin po sa mga nagmake-up sa amiN! Forgot their names na kasi... lolz!!

Hosts:
Febie and Nico!

April's also a month of debuts, a month of watsalaks and you can all check them out of multiply! I'm just so glad that I'm able to catch up with my bestest buds Daynel, Chu, Bobs and Chair while the sun hasn't set yet. I can proudly say that I've been to all of their homes and that we've done a lot of things together as a barkada na! Heehee over night uli!! lolz, mum will kill me!!!

Another awaited event for me last April was our EK escapade which was organized by Franz and attended by me, Jin, Daynel, Matt, Chu and Lourdie! That event was a series of Pacheese-burger commercials which they have so pleasantly enlightened me on the idea why everyone was so crazied about it. I mean, PACHEESE BURGER NAMAN KAYO OH! haaha lolz! Anyway, aside from getting extremely WET from the rapids and log jam, I had a splendid time! I missed you all my SJ friends and I long for the Baguio trip that we'll be having in 2 years time! (FRANZ AH!! SABI MU!!! heehee)

ayan kami!!! heehee RED NA RED!

Movies and series of course, rain or shine, will always be inside my ~~heart~~ home so I've been acting couch potato after practices (no wonder I didn't get thin despite all the buckets of sweat) and watching shows like

Ugly Betty season 2!

House season 4!

Pushing Daisies! LOVE IT!!

Disney movies (I GOT THEM AT A BARGAIN! ORIG AT 150PHP! hehe)

IRONMAN!!

and more! I've got a lot of movies here at home pa and there are some that I want to watch but haven't had (or no dvd!) yet like Pathology! US summer movies have officially kicked in and I can't wait to watch them all! Ironman WAS FREAKING GREAT! I mean greater than spidey 2 and 3 but i think batman begins still kicked ass but still, IRONMAN WAS DA BOMB! I was able to watch it 2x and it's just the 4th day! Addict ain't I? Sure there were some cheesy lines and predictable moments but at least there was no whiny heroine, no lunatic screaming madmen, and whatnot, but the greatest thing about the movie was IT HAD SUBSTANCE AND PLOT. You got it, even though you aren't a comic book fan. You just got it. lolz. and Robert Downy Jr. is the perfect Tony Starks. Just go watch it and you'll know what i mean. The movie even distracted me from my aching feet (oh i forgot to tell you guys the story of how my brother, chair and I walked all the way from rcbc tower to powerplant. well it was april 30, and the whole family wanted to watch it. since my bro and chair watched my performance and we were done at 5-6, mum told us to go ahead to powerplant and hitch a taxi. unfortunately... no taxis were available and we just walked it off. 45 minutes of nonstop walking in polluted was NOT invigorating i tell ya. it's actually dusty and smoky. we even had to pass by a red light district! i never thought that I'd be so happy to see powerplant!!)

I'll be getting a molar extraction surgery tomorrow and I'm scared. I'm supposed to be helping with the JLTC but I can't. I won't be able to go to the Chimes meeting tomorrow too. Oh what a tooth extraction can do! IT CAN KILL A PERSON'S APPETITE. But it can make me thinner? LOLZ! Aneroxia here i come! heehee. so there i'm scared. And Stephie narrated to me the ordeal she has gone through.... OH WHEN WILL IT END?? Lord help....

Tita Rose has been learning how to do nail art designs (you know like the ones here

from a Korean woman who does these seminars for free. My mum was the first model for the whole nail thing but unfortunately Happy our shih tzu gave birth yesterday (3 puppies!) so she couldn't go yesterday. I took her place and now look, 3 of my fingers have nail extensions! There's no art yet, but I can't wait till next tuesday! or wednesday? That's the next session! haha! It is harder to type though... hehee

lookie at the last 3 fingers! last 2 is the whole nail thing, third one is the extension! hehe. looks real nh?

I think I'll be able to blog again. Or not. No guarantee! But in the meantime, catch my pics on my multiply!! www.jynxedpanda.multiply.com! GO VISIT! =)

and btw, CONGRATS TO MUMMY SCARTYY! I know that this is soo belated but let's congratulate the mommy for bringing another cute child into this world last April!! weee!!

Updates when I update! :cool

257!!

2008-03-27T20:45:00.003+08:00

257... You'd just think that it was just ANY random number conceived by mankind, but I think that it would be a most memorable number that will be remembered by 5 people, but excluding the other guy (VAL KAW UN!), then 4 people, because it has taken up at least 7 hours of their time... Yes. Steppy, Jin, Matt and I, will remember that number forever...

Why??

BECAUSE WE MADE 257 GRADUATION INVITATIONS! lolz!!! I think that it was an achievement! hehe. Well we 5 weren't the only ones who made it. I mean there were hundreds of factors that made these invitations possible, like the printer, the printer guy, paper guy, ink guy, etc (especially those who cut the paper yesterday! You rocked! hehe. I wasn't there though kasi.. hehe) and we're all thankful that everything's done! hehe. I thought that it would be a boring day filled with cutting, folding, gluing, pasting (wait, it was!!) but it turned out to be a more memorable one since grabe, we learned A LOT about each other. These chikahan moments are certainly worth the 9 hours of labor of love!

Hehe, anyway I thought this day was a breakaway from the usual mundane tasks that I do at home which is mostly nothing but stare at my computer screen and debating upon my fate (Am I an Atenean in the making?). I am so confused and admittedly scared of my future. I have no idea if I will ever handle the I have in mind, Computer Science, or the course that I got in, Management Honors, so I am having a problem here. Like, will I be happy at this course? At any course at that matter. Maybe I should just take up fine arts or something. haha! Not that I have anything against that course.. I really do like to perform but I don't think I have the credibility anyway.

So I'm still in limbo and it's already 3 days and 2 nights away from graduation day! (Get ready for a long grad post! haha!) Lord help me!

Hmm... I think I'll post something freaky too.. Just last night as Daynel, Bobby and I were chatting on some.. things, my dad burst into the office room that mom and i were staying in the ground floor yelling he saw someone or something in the living room! Outside of the office room were the living room and kitchen and dining room and all the lights were turned off so naturally it was pitch dark. Then he explained that after going downstairs, he saw someone walk toward the back and thought that it was our maids, but how could they be there when they were sleeping? And my mum and me were inside the office and my bro upstairs? CREEPPYY! It's probably the same being I saw last 2 times, one in grade 4 (i thought that he was my father!) and the other one last few months ago. Oh well... God will take care of us!

Well I'm just bored... hop off to my multiply in case you wanna look at some recent pics! hehe

Domain Registration

2008-03-12T20:15:00.000+08:00

I wonder when I'll get my real site. You know the real one with your desired domain name (hey, how about cookie.com? or panda.nu? or weirdothebeardo.net? lolz!) and then the desired .watever extension. I think it'll be really cool to have your own personalized space in the internet. A real personal space unlike this blogspot. My blog is just a part of thousands of others with blogspot extension though I am happy here. It's just that, I can' express my individuality that much. Seeing Ate Jays, Ate Val and my other online sisters enjoying their life with their own domain, who doesn't want one? Well anyways, preparing for the future is good so I've found an option: I'll get my domain registration at Payless!
It's such a user-friendly site and one that's stylish too! It can't be a hoax because of the very professional site that features drop down menus. And it's very easy to use since the benefits of a basic plan is instantly given in the main page and it also offers discount prices. There is also a Help page and Contact Us page for easy Customer support. They can easily gain your trust! There are loads of freebies too! Well once you log on into their site, you can easily check the availability of your site (like weirdothebeardo.net). Another perk is their WhoIs page wherein you can find info of a domain user information. You'll be able to choose the right package and price for your domain!
Well, now I hope that I'll have enough money to buy one. Oh well, untill that day, use Payless to get your domain registration!!

Chaching!

2008-03-10T21:10:00.002+08:00

Whenever there are movies concerning about casinos (like Casino Royale perhaps, Ocean's 11 and 12, the Rush Hour movies), you get to see a lot of view about it, I mean it's so colorful right? And all the bright lights, the spinning wheels, the cards and most especially the slot machine!!
Perhaps there are thousands of online games patterned to the slot machine already. I play neopets and definitely there are slot machine games. I also loved the fact that absolutely anyone can play it. You don't need experience, you don't need luck, just yourself and of course, luck. Luck is probably the biggest factor in it. I didn't realize though that there are different kinds of slot machines and you can get to play them online! Yes, you don't need to go to Vegas just to roll that slot, all you need is for Slots city to tell you the best slots online there are!
Once you go in their site, an orangey theme instantly captivates the visitor and of course the complete summary and info about the site is ready right on the front page so you'll never get lost. There are also links on the left side bar which categorizes the different online slot sites like which could be the best in the net! It's really useful since you'll be able to see the different ratings and bonuses. It also gives a lot of information about slots and a good FAQ too. And the best part is you'll be able to see a preview of the site and the different designs of the slot machines! There are ancient looking ones, high tech ones, bright lights ones, cool ones and more! It's definitely a site for you to see!

The Graduate

2008-03-08T14:31:00.002+08:00

Everybody put your hands in the air and say..........."I'VE GRADUATED!!!!!"

haha! Sorry guys!! I just couldn't resist and had to write that line. I mean look, I am finally a proud and fresh graduate (oki.... graduation is still on Mar. 29 but I'm sure I'll graduate...I think...haha!) of high school! I think it's really exciting that I'm finally out of high school, and in a few months, I'll be going to college. New place, new faces, new... everything! NEW LAPTOP!!

Specifically, my bro's old Acer Aspire 5562WXMi which is now really battered. Click link for specs. heehe! It works fine, but the freaking low memory is BUGGING ME!!

I've also got an IPOD TOUCH! *screeches* I can't believe my mom bought it! My parents went to HK from Mar 1-2 just to buy my bro's Sony Vaio (see? he got the new ones.. huhu) and my mom did ask me if I wanted an itouch or iphone or the 80gig ipod but I told her no since we're low on cash but she still bought it! I LOVE MUMMY AND DADDY SO MUCH! heehe =) It's 16gb and I've jailbroken it already to 1.1.1 and now gotta make it 1.1.4 now! woohoo! hehe.

Haha well I have a laptop now by the way guys because our desktop computer has been the reason why I wasn't able to blog for so long. It has some virus or malware on it that disabled me from accessing my site and your sites sis, so I hope that you forgive me guys... It'll never happen again for the coming 3 months since I'll be partying hard now! haHA not literally, I meant I have more time to do everything I've ever wanted now that high school's over. Leaving St. Jude is such a relief which I'm sure will become a heartache soon because I'll be so homesick but still, now I feel ecstatic and overjoyed. Such relief...

I'll miss my friends though... Like what Danelle said, we won't be able to hang out together like we used to since we each live in far places. It really sucks and I was so happy that Chair and I were able to spend at her house yesterday. Loved her place! hehe =) We did share a lot noh? I just hope that nothing will change but change is inevitable so I'm wondering what will happen in the future now. What the heck will happen? Please let our friendships stay intact.

Man, I've had a lot of ups and downs during my senior year and I've learned a lot. I can't say I've learned the secret formula to eternal life but I have learned my own secrets, and my friends' too. A lot has happened, first the retreat, sportsfest and then the rollercoaster ride of bliss this february to march. Let me give you an update based on a chronological order since I think it'll take forever if I do it in paragraph form. hehe SO MUCH HAS HAPPENED and i've got pictures to boot! hehe

Feb 16 morning - MMTLBA (Metro Manila Tiong Lian Basketball Association)
Our cheering squad became the representatives of the school in the cheerdance competition of MMTLBA held last Feb. 16. We had a lot of expectations since when St. Jude became a part of MMTLBA, we've won every single one of them (well that was 2 years ago so meaning 2 championships) so we had to exceed their expectations. And what can I say my friends? I was so dang nervous for them! I saw how St. Stephen had these awesome props and how strong PCHS was so I was so nervous! But in the end, the good Lord saw us fit to become once again champs! OMG I AM SO PROUD OF YOU GUYS!!!

Feb 16 evening - JS PROM!!
OMG, this is one prom I'll never forget! Besides starting off so late and a very unique tribute to the seniors presentation, I had the weirdest look ever. Good thing the make up artist came in earlier this year than last's but the bad thing was he had more time to work on me. My mom slipped and said that our theme this year was Hollywood so boom! I was made into a Marilyn Monroe looker. Haha see for yourself!!

Faye, Me, Cheryl, and JC

WE'RE GLAMOROUS! haha!

And man, EDSA Shang is one place that YOU should experience spending the night since whoa, their garden suite is really a beauty! And the bathroom and walk in closets! Wifi! sighs.. Daynel, Yvette, Chair, Raich, Eirene and I all had the time of our lives. Sayang si Bobby ni nakasama! huhu!

Feb 18 - Chinese Singing Contest
I've always said last year that I was gonna join the Chinese singing contest this year since it is my last, and I haven't sung in a singing contest since... gr3 and that people wouldn't care if I slipped up anyway so there I go and joined the dang thing. I signed up late since I was so confused as to whether I should sing. I haven't practiced since singing at my mom's uncle's birthday and grabe, I LOST MY VOICE on this day! Well not exactly totally lost, ung namaos. I had a weird feeling though because during the draw lots to see who goes first, I first got number 9 which is an extremely lucky number for me whenever I join contests because I seem to win whenever I get that number. But 2 backed out and I became 7. There goes my luck I thought.
But omg..... I....freaking....won!!!! As in Group B, First Place. That was so surreal since in all my times to join singing contests, this was my first first! And it happened in my last's! See how confusing I am and how astounded I am to know that I won? I was with Iris and Jehrald and they were good singers! Maybe the judges must have listed it wrong.... OMG.... Definitely a freaking day I won't ever forget! So scary...

Seniors last song!!

Feb 19 - Comp and TLE periodical test (oh yeah, our exams started that week)
I just wanted to say that we were exempted half of the computer periodical exam! woohoo! hehe thanks to our presentation! And we should have a high grade! I mean I spent 5 Sundays, sacrificing my lakwatsa time and almost 22 hours total there! hehe

Feb 20 - PASSION PLAY!
The BIGGEST as in BIGGEST event of our lives is here! After countless and countless practices that everyone has already memorized the whole script, the day is finally here! My god, again another expectation that we have to surpass last year's passion play which was SUPERB! How can we top something with a unique storyline with musicals and everything? Lord! Haha The third years also had their Midsummer Night's Dream which I thought was COOL!!! There were a few sound difficulties but I loved it! It was hilarious man! Congrats! =)
Okay so our turn came right after. And then somehow, as if possessed, everyone was actually doing good! We had our general rehearsal last 18 evening and it was crap. AS IN CRAP. And then today, wow, everyone was like magical. Dani R, Dani O, Val, Ted, etc were all in top form and acting so well! The stage crew had no problems aside from the lacking of hammer to "crucify" Jesus and Shanelle,our mother mary, wow! SHE REALLY CRIED!! And I think I did well as nurse. lolz!! It turns out that a lot of people LOVED our performance and Ms. Bagsic was sooo proud of us! You can find her speech at franz' multiply. My GOD, that was the best feeling ever! Thank you lord for giving us the fruits of our labor... Everyone loved it! Definitely one of the best ever! And the scriptwriters were acknowledged too! But I would like to say that Ms. Bagsic was the one that started it all. THANKS SO MUCH MISS! =)

Wanna give credits to the directors, cast and crew of our Passion Play especially
Tedmund as Jesus, Val as the Devil and Dani R as Joaquin! woot! Congratz to you guys!!

Me as a nurse (bagay ba?)

But we took this opportunity to bond more with friends. Chair and I have been house hopping too and having movie marathons. Then we just had a slumber party at Dandan's house! I think we'll do it again though. haha!

Light up your world!

I've always wondered how people lived without electricity and lightings in the past especially the Victorian Era since people loved to write a lot back then and I wondered how on earth would they have written at night when there was insufficient light? Perseverance and stubborness I guess is what made them do those things. It makes me want to thank Benjamin Franklin for flying a kite and getting electrocuted. Without that incident, then I must probably say that we'd still be living in the dark ages. Now that night can be as bright as day and the difference between them since to have been abolished now. Well if we can have lighting, why don't we deserve the best grandeur of them all? Well after centuries of science and discovery, Farreys is here to beautify our nights with their wonderful lightings!
Farreys offers a user-friendly site with links galore and selective viewing. I believe that every imaginable and unimaginable lightings is all in here in Farreys. I mean I have never heard of minka lavery lighting or murray feiss lighting but with Farreys, I am able to distinguish all kinds of lamps there is. When I have my own family and house later in life, I would definitely want something good to light up at home and what better way than looking at a site called Farreys? I mean I've never appreciated beauty and art in lamps before. Gaston in Beauty and the Beast would have been jealous for sure after seeing all the beautiful lamps here!
So are you looking for something to brighten up your home? Then I guarantee that Farreys is the place for you! =)

I'm not exactly new at gambling but getting a good review out of good casinos is hard to get. Especially looking into editor's and reader's rating for each site? There must be tons of online casinos out there so how would I know which one appeals to the most masses? How about knowing which online site gets the best deals and which online casino specializes in what kind of game? For example I suddenly have this poker addictiveness so which site should I go to? Well look at Pro360 before jumping into just any kind of casino sites.

Pro360 welcomes the user with a very nice template featuring graphic pictures of the games themselves. Once you click on a specific casino game, they instantly display the top 20 casino sites for that game. A detailed description of its history and guidelines are also written there. Online casinos are ordered by ranks and international casino sites are also displayed there so UK, Asian, African friends, you can therefore join too! The site's sidebar have more detailed categories best online casinos based on users' votes and more! A full review awaits you when you click the review button placed at the end of each casino.

So enjoy my friends and have a happy, safe, legal gambling using Pro360!!

Credit Cards... not just full of plastic

2008-02-06T17:10:00.001+08:00

Money's important. As everyone knows, it has been a form of exchange of commodities for people throughout the years. There have been evolutions throughout the ages starting of with commodities to token to metal and now to bills. But in this new age, THE computer age, money has evolved into something complicated that there are principles and rules that are followed. There are now new ways to get money and one of them is by credit card or getting a loan.
My parents have credit cards (therefore I am able to acquire paypal haha!) and personal loans also but I wonder how they choose. Definitely you need recommendations by your friends and family who can refer you to good deals. No matter what you do, you do need referrals and reviews for something before buying it. Same thing goes for getting credit cards and aquiring loans and I have found this trust in Centrro. Centrro is definitely a user-friendly site displaying a clean and simple envirnment. Links are visibly and neatly arranged. Each brand of credit has a brief and dependable description and their rates and benefits are clearly given. Finding lenders now is also as easy as pie. Just flip to their lenders page and you will be able to get a good match once you answer all the questions necessary for finding the most suitable lender for you. How's that for getting the best Personal Loan eh? Truly, Centrro is a big help for those new at getting credit cards and loans.

Secured loans at your service!

2008-01-31T23:42:00.002+08:00

When I was young, I used to hear my parents talk about loan, loan, loan and loan and I had no idea what that meant that time. I thought that it was all a game but later I knew that loaning something, loaning money is a big thing. It isn't easy to do (what with all the terms and conditions that you have to go through) and it painstakingly takes a long amount of time. It's sometimes very difficult to understand too and a lot of hassle (like giving up some of your assets to be able to secure a loan) for a new business owner or a student who are in a hurry to of course start whatever project they have to do. I have never seen an easy way to get Personal Loans except for giving people pieces of paper with I.O.U.'s on it. But now, after seeing AmericaOneSecured online. I think I've finally found a way get my personal loan fast and easy

Sure the unsecured word seems to be daunting for us since we do want to be secured, but in this case, it just means that you don't need to risk your assets or make a collateral just to borrow money. It's a time saver since you don't have to go through all the process of lining up and writing out forms just to borrow money. It can all be done online with a trusted company that has been doing business for almost 10 years. If I'm just American, I would definitely try this. So remember, if you need a loan, you can always trust AmericaOne and sign up for one. =)

Talk made easy

2008-01-31T23:23:00.001+08:00

I remember those days when I wanted to make a call to my great grandaunts in San Francisco and how only postal mail was available. We had to wait for almost 3 weeks just to receive a letter but of course it would have been better if we could have heard their voices. I mean nothing beats listening to your loved ones' voices right? Some of my grandaunts have passed away and I regret not getting to hear them again. Sometimes pictures and postcards and letters aren't enough. You have to hear/listen to them to feel that they are safe. And to really know what they're thinking. Good thing now, communication has been made very easy for us!

Now in our generation, we can almost communicate anywhere. Heck when I even went to the province (in the boonies/mountains man!) people and farmers all had mobile phones already. Some even had better phones that I have. And now technology has surpassed itself by letting people communicate from computer to computer. But now, we can also communicate from computer to mobile phone! One such example is TalkTalk. Talktalk offers reliable and fast services and not to mention Free Broadband. There are many kinds of broadband plans and freebies such as landline calls that would be suitable to anyone's likings. Based mostly in UK, I am sure that people who have loved ones there and abroad would have more convenience in communicating with one another using TalkTalk. More information can be found on their site. Surely, TalkTalk is a help for anybody with relatives there! Go try it now! =)

Wow! I can't believe I posted thrice today! It's the first time that's ever happened to this lil old blog of mine! I guess it's because of this sudden pay-per-post thing! So far I've joined Smorty and Blogsvertise. I have 3 pending posts to Smorty ($24 in total) and my blog's still pending on Blogsvertise. I can't wait to get my very first cash earned online! Yey! hehe. Pls do click on mylot too and join the discussions! It's really fun! hehe

It's the fourth quarter and I just realized that I have to study to the nth power just to get to the top five of my batch. I don't want to fail my parents nor myself. I have to do everything I can to be able to succeed though so brain cells, get ready to fight!

I have my very own private blog now! Ate Val is so generous in giving away 50 subdomains and I'm one of the lucky few! I just have to edit it a bit and will tell you guys when it's up. I wanna thank Ate Lhyz sooo much for setting up my wordpress blog! I didn't know how to operate it and she gave me a helping hand! *hugz* Thanks po mga ates!!! =)

Wow, now I know the feeling of Hercules when turned from a zero to a hero. Yesterday was finally the competition of the our Lang Song (chinese group declamation contest), the one we've been practicing since.. September or October I think. Wow, how many shouting and memorizing that took and we suffered from the verbal attacks of the head teacher complaining that we didn't have enough emotions (even though I was draining all my emotions already, I tell ya I was spent with every practice) and that we didn't have "yui tsi" (i'm sorry I don't know the english translation of this) I felt so infuriated that our efforts weren't seen but it all paid off when we got the 2nd prize! YAHOO! I must say we did well even though we looked like some waitresses at a Chinese resto~! Lolz! We looked so weird but it was worth it! Now I wish our chinese teachers continue the exemption since we brought home 10kphp! Yahoo! Here's our pic! More pics on my multiply!

Me and Chair! Naku, mga waitresses nga diba?

2nd Place!! So HAPPY! hehe

Share ko lang bagong haircut ko! Na hindi naman mukhang bago... naku mukha akong bangag! Small eyes!!

Man I'm so tired these past few weeks doing computer project ( I dedicate at least 4 hours every sunday on it), filipino project, then staying for passion play. My teacher also added me on the economics team for the quiz bee this coming Feb. January 30 marks our written exam! Hope we'll be able to qualify! =)

Blogging online has been my past time for 4 years
already and I've always wondered on how to show my parents that blogging is
really useful! Now I have the chance to prove them when I will get my very
first cash from Blogsvertise! They pay me to do what I love and that is to
blog. I never thought that blogging can actually be a marketing tool but it is!
I hope that my partnership when Blogsvertise, I'll be able to earn a little
cash over the net and have a little more money in my savings. We do have to look
forward right and how else can I help my future but to blog and get paid? It's
like a dream come true! Now all I need is to find time to blog more.. haha!
Well join Blogsvertise and get paid just like all the bloggers out there who've

Now that I'm on a money earning spree, I've had thoughts of opening up an online store but unfortunately, I don't have any products to sell nor do I have a website to operate it on. I am only just forced to sell and post on forums but that isn't really reliable right? I mean how can I keep track of everything I've sold so far right? And I would want my buyers to be able to navigate and buy at their own pace and with ease. If I open an online store someday, I would want shopping cart software that has loads of useful features at an affordable price! Good thing online sellers now can use Ashop Commerce, the leading provider of ecommerce software in the net! Its an award winning software with tons of features and not to forget, good customer service! Online sellers are lucky that they can have the best technology operating on their very own online business! Go and get the best shopping cart in town =)
