IT'S OFFICIAL!!
It's Official......
I'M ON
HIATUSHere'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

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.......
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!)

Back to that again :(
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!
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...
"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
EDIT**
Jha gave me an award!! Aww thanks so muchh!!! It's my 2nd award so far... Can't believe this moldy old blog gets any... hehe thanks so much!!
and now for the rules!
Rules:
* Put the logo on your blog.
* Add a link to the person who awarded it to you.
* Link 10 other bloggers whom you wanted to share this award to.
* Give a reason why you consider that person’s blog cool.
I'm going to break the rules for a bit coz I'm tagging everyone who hasn't received this yet because I believe that every blogger is cool in their own right! I mean we're all cool, we're unique, we're fun!! SO GO PEEPZ! hehe :p =) :yay

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
"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=)

Headaches and thingamaboms
PLUGS: Sarabeth
*UPDATE!
Guys! I'll be gone for the whole week this week because of the JLTC training. I'll be too groggy to even type a key on this keyboard so sorry for the future lack of updates! As the terminatory guys said...
"Don't worry, I"ll be BACK!"
myLot User Profile
***end***
I swear, my head is about to explode into scramblish smitereens any minute now!! ARGGHHH!!!!
Man, even my activities prevented me from blogging AND mylot! I wasn't able to open up any discussions on mylot nor replied to any. This must be the reason why my rating's descending instead of the other way around! But at least I have $5 already in my account and I only need $5 more to reach my minimum checout. And I also got 3 referrals! Yey! =) And I sold my Angus, Thongs BOOK (not the real kinds. lolz :haha) aleady so money's piling up. Now I just have to edit my joke and it's off to reader's digest for you!
I've finally graduated from Ateneo!! No, not from a course coz am still at high school but from their problem solving program. One thing that I can say about this program is..... it's FULL of problems which you really have to spend HOURS just to solve it therefore, the scrambled brain. Last Wednesday was our last day of lecture and we tackled on Mathematical models but I mostly spent time talking to my seatmate! lolz. But still, I think i learned more with a talking seatmate than absolute silence. But right after that, I went to Daynel's house to start prepping for our Junior Leadership training =) We already finished with our STA chart and Attendance chart and next, my job is to type the whole training proposal. I really do hope everything goes well. =) Goo OOZIES! lolz! What's the first thing that comes to your mind when you hear that word? It's nice to have feedback.
Thursday was graduation day (Ateneo thing) and I really really wondered how the heck will that run through because I didn't think we needed any but I was surprised because I learned a lot from Mrs. Queena's talk (dean of math and science i think) but it was really hard to LOOK at her because she EERILY resembles my first year adviser. Without the glasses though. Still, it was freaky.... Well so my cousins and I and a lot of Saint Jude people received our certificates! It ives you a warm feeling inside... lolz!
Gideone - in yellow shirt - holding his certificate
Giselle - 4th to the left - holding her certificate
Certificate up close!
But my classes aren't over! I spent the whole Friday and Saturday studying Calc and reviewing for entrance exams that after 4th year, I just want to spend a WHOLE MONTH away from studies! Yep, that's the first thing I'm gonna do when I graduate high school (man it feels so weird saying that). Today's my only rest day coz my JLTC training starts next week. Then it's off to the greenlands for me and Bobby and next next week (La salle computer program).
I did have my fun moment though like after graduation, I tagged along with my cousins because they had their interview at Makati Gospel (they're gonna transfer schools) so my mom, dad and I went to the Fort! I FINALLY ate them delicious Krispy Kremes! Sorry I wasn't able to take any pictures because we devoured them easily. I swear, they taste like heaven! YUMMM.... We were also able to go Hobbes and Landes and bought some neat puzzles !I finally got my wish and I got a 2000 pc puzzle! We already finished almost 1/4 of it.
I've got some freaking sad news too.... Our 8-year old dog died yesterday from internal bleeding... just like Hollywood the first. She looked so cute pa rin and it pained me too see her in so much pain so I was a little glad when she was finally relieved. That's 5 dog deaths in one year and it's not even half the year yet. Wahhh pls God... :wah I'll continue to pray instead..
Well gtg now!
Updates when I update! =)
P.S. I just joined neopets again! Who here wants to be my neofriend? Add me! =) My name's jynxypanda there

HARRY POTTER FAN:
I am worth $1,602,050 on HumanForSale.com???
HISTORY:
I decided I'd make a history for my site so that you'd all know the whys and the hows. I will elaborate further when I have my REAL site one day. So when did this "addiction" start? Well it was many years ago (maybe not THAT many, about 2-3 years ago) when my keypal Kelli (HI KELLI!) told me to check out this thing. It turned out to be a xanga blog and I was intrigued but I wasn't interested in making one. After a year though, exactly on October 29, 2004, I came across Kelli's blog again and had a sudden itch to try it out. I signed up in xanga and wrote my very first entry. My URL was http://xanga.com/jynxypanda and it's still alive! Check it out if you want, I've transformed it into a photoblog of some sort. I started out with this PLAIN red and black template and of course, I eventually got bored with it. I then searched for skins both in createblog and blogskins. I was happy with xanga but then I saw Steph's new blog in blogger. I was amazed at her skills already in making layouts and HTML so I asked tips from her and then I started my blogger account. This was the time I started getting interested in HTML. Steph also referred to me Lissaexplains.com for tutorials and I researched on my own by reading this gigantic HTML manual at our house. I learned the basics and soon I was editing layouts. I wasn't much of a layout changer so Thief's Stolen Collections survived with only 2 premade layouts. Soon, I was getting BORED with premade layouts. I decided to practice my photoshop skills and make my own like Steph. At first, my layout was supposed to be a panda under cherry blossoms on a starry night EXCEPT the background image I used was copyrighted to kagaya.com only hence I wasn't able to use it. It was a beautiful layout for me though because I loved the violet colors and the panda. It took me a VERY LONG time to finish it but all my efforts proved to be in vain. The spark of making a layout vanished and was just recently revived. I was determined to make one and Winnie the Pooh came to my mind. Why Winnie the Pooh? I have no idea. Maybe it was because of him being a bear but anyways, Winnie the Pooh sounded good and voila!
PAST LAYOUTS
POOH'S PARADISE V.1
Born on: June 26, 2005
Well this was my very 1st layout so pardon for the childish image. It took me a very long time to think of what image to use. Winnie the Pooh just suddenly came to my mind and before I knew it, my hands were working on their own and this is the result! It lasted me for 5 months and I'm happy. =)
STARING UNDER THE SKY
Born on: Dec. 27, 2005
This is my 2nd layout featuring a vectorized (my first vector! Not too good..) bird (i'm not sure the species) on a branch staring under the velvet (violet) sky. When I was thinking of a new layout, I wanted it to have a touch of Christmas but not in the commercial way (gifts, lights etc). I wanted to show the true meaning of Christmas and I also wanted a layout that would last me for months (I'm a lazy bum.. hehe). Inspiration struck when our English teacher asked us to make a Korean Sijo (in English that is) and what i wrote about was a bird anticipating the birth of Christ. Though Christmas has gone, I still wish the feeling of Christmas will continue the whole year. This lasted me for a month (oMG 1 month lang?) but I may use it again. I really liked it! hehe
PINKISH BEAR REALITY
Given on: Jan. 4,2006
Added on: Jan. 27, 2006
This layout was a gift from my adorable online sister,
Ate Kitty! Isn't it beautiful? I was really surprised when she gave me this because I didn't know that anyone would go so much trouble for giving me a gift.. wahhz.. Love ya ate! :heart

IT'S OFFICIAL!!
It's Official......
I'M ON
HIATUSHere'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

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.......
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...

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

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

Back to that again :(
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

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...
"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
EDIT**
Jha gave me an award!! Aww thanks so muchh!!! It's my 2nd award so far... Can't believe this moldy old blog gets any... hehe thanks so much!!

Rules:
* Put the logo on your blog.

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
"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."

I swear, my head is about to explode into scramblish smitereens any minute now!! ARGGHHH!!!!
Man, even my activities prevented me from blogging AND mylot! I wasn't able to open up any discussions on mylot nor replied to any. This must be the reason why my rating's descending instead of the other way around! But at least I have $5 already in my account and I only need $5 more to reach my minimum checout. And I also got 3 referrals! Yey! =) And I sold my Angus, Thongs BOOK (not the real kinds. lolz :haha) aleady so money's piling up. Now I just have to edit my joke and it's off to reader's digest for you!
I've finally graduated from Ateneo!! No, not from a course coz am still at high school but from their problem solving program. One thing that I can say about this program is..... it's FULL of problems which you really have to spend HOURS just to solve it therefore, the scrambled brain. Last Wednesday was our last day of lecture and we tackled on Mathematical models but I mostly spent time talking to my seatmate! lolz. But still, I think i learned more with a talking seatmate than absolute silence. But right after that, I went to Daynel's house to start prepping for our Junior Leadership training =) We already finished with our STA chart and Attendance chart and next, my job is to type the whole training proposal. I really do hope everything goes well. =) Goo OOZIES! lolz! What's the first thing that comes to your mind when you hear that word? It's nice to have feedback.
Thursday was graduation day (Ateneo thing) and I really really wondered how the heck will that run through because I didn't think we needed any but I was surprised because I learned a lot from Mrs. Queena's talk (dean of math and science i think) but it was really hard to LOOK at her because she EERILY resembles my first year adviser. Without the glasses though. Still, it was freaky.... Well so my cousins and I and a lot of Saint Jude people received our certificates! It ives you a warm feeling inside... lolz!
Gideone - in yellow shirt - holding his certificate
Giselle - 4th to the left - holding her certificate
Certificate up close!
But my classes aren't over! I spent the whole Friday and Saturday studying Calc and reviewing for entrance exams that after 4th year, I just want to spend a WHOLE MONTH away from studies! Yep, that's the first thing I'm gonna do when I graduate high school (man it feels so weird saying that). Today's my only rest day coz my JLTC training starts next week. Then it's off to the greenlands for me and Bobby and next next week (La salle computer program).
I did have my fun moment though like after graduation, I tagged along with my cousins because they had their interview at Makati Gospel (they're gonna transfer schools) so my mom, dad and I went to the Fort! I FINALLY ate them delicious Krispy Kremes! Sorry I wasn't able to take any pictures because we devoured them easily. I swear, they taste like heaven! YUMMM.... We were also able to go Hobbes and Landes and bought some neat puzzles !I finally got my wish and I got a 2000 pc puzzle! We already finished almost 1/4 of it.
I've got some freaking sad news too.... Our 8-year old dog died yesterday from internal bleeding... just like Hollywood the first. She looked so cute pa rin and it pained me too see her in so much pain so I was a little glad when she was finally relieved. That's 5 dog deaths in one year and it's not even half the year yet. Wahhh pls God... :wah I'll continue to pray instead..
Well gtg now!
Updates when I update! =)
P.S. I just joined neopets again! Who here wants to be my neofriend? Add me! =) My name's jynxypanda there
