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

Saturday, January 24, 2009 It's Time For That Season Once Again!
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.......
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!)
NOT.
Well I have this thing to look forward to this summer vacation...
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...

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
ELEPHANT STUFF
"Lily Chong and Matt Kalish, both 21-year-old juniors majoring in
Ms.
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.
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!!

Friday, December 26, 2008 CHRISTMAS DAY!!!
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
Vlog #6!
Hehe and I just feel so grateful now... I recently had lunch a while ago at my mum's side and I was soo happy to see my cousins again! Especially my uncle and his family who moved from Denmark to Shanghai! haha My cuz is just so young and interesting! haha. And i was able to bond with them while playing cards, Spore and all. haha. I think I'm beginning to feel the "Big Sister" thing because I am the 3rd eldest in the clan. Well mum's side anyway and I'm feeling old and protective now. I wanna squish my little cousins!! Haha they're just soo cuute! hehe. Di kasi ako sanay maging ate, haha bunso kasi ako dito sa pamilya namin :P lolz!!
And I'VE GOT ONE OF MY WISH LIST!!! TO FIND OUT, WATCH THE VIDEO!! hehe A tribute to all those who gave me gifts, I LOVE YOU ALL ESPECIALLY MY MOTHER DEAREST!!!!! *hugz*

Thursday, December 11, 2008 Shopping for the Kid at Heart
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

Sunday, November 02, 2008 Xin de yue ding
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..

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!
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,
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

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!)
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.

Well ya have to write a short story using only one sentence and here's my entry.
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.

Wednesday, October 22, 2008 The Loser Standing Small...
"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
Updates when I update! :cool

Tuesday, October 14, 2008 Faffle waffle
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
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=)
Updates when I update!:haha

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."

Monday, September 15, 2008 My Grandpa Sees Saddam Hussein
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

Sunday, September 07, 2008 Videos Galore!
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!!

Saturday, August 16, 2008 愛..
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..

Saturday, August 09, 2008 Spectacular!!!!
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!

Wednesday, July 23, 2008 Discrepancy girl
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.

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.

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