The Ultimate Guide To Writing A PhD Thesis

2011-04-17T16:29:00.001+08:00

Writing a PhD thesis is a monumental task that can be broken down into many manageable pieces. By deconstructing the process of writing a PhD thesis in this way you can turn an epic task into something that you can easily do. This is the ultimate guide to writing a PhD thesis.

Make Your Choices

Before you do anything else you have to decide on the topic of your PhD thesis. This can be a job in itself but it must be done before you can proceed. Put in the effort necessary to get this done and get it done. You need it to move on to the next step.

Make A Plan

To write your PhD thesis you will need to make a plan. You will need to plan out every little aspect of the writing process. This is not a writing task that you can play by ear and hope that it all works out for the best. The more that you start off with a clear structure the better off you will be. Following are some of the plans that you need to make.

Timetable

Create a timetable for your writing. How much time will you spend writing each day? How much will you have done by your chosen checkpoint dates? When will you be done with your first draft?

How much time are you giving yourself to edit your work? How much extra time are you putting into this timetable for those unavoidable circumstances that are sure to throw off your schedule? You want to know what you are doing, when you are doing it, and that everything will still work out fine if you miss a day of writing.

Outline

If you want your thesis to have a logical progression of information then plan that out from the start. You want to outline your thesis down to small details so that you know where you are going with each section. By planning out each chapter, section, and subsection you will know what to write about when and your PhD thesis will be as focused as you want it to be. This is an excellent defense against writer's block too. If you already know what you want to write about then it is that much easier to just write about it.

Overcoming Obstacles

You are going to face obstacles of one kind or another. Sometimes life will get in the way and other times you will just lose focus. If you need a break then take one and make it a real break. Leave your PhD thesis behind for a while or even for a day every so often if that is what you need to return to it as committed as you were when you started. Don't think about it, talk about it, or plan what to do next during this time so that you will be able to focus when you get back.

When all is said and done, writing a PhD thesis can be broken down into two steps. Create a plan. Execute the plan.

My Valentine's Day!

2011-02-15T21:50:00.003+08:00

First of all, I want to greet everyone a Happy Valentine's Day (belated, actually but it doesn't really make any difference). Did you have a big celebration? Well, good for you if you had. In my case, I don't really need anything of that sort. I've read this note over my Tumblr dashboard, and the light bulb suddenly clicked. It went like this:

I hate Valentine's Day. It's not even a real holiday. It's just an excuse for guys to treat their girlfriends like princesses which is b$&lsh*t because that's the way it should be every day of the year.

GIRLS, don't you agree? :] It may sound bitter but at least it made sense. The making up for whatever time part totally got me.

So yesterday, if you are living in my place, was the actual date of our Valentine's Day. Mary Vic, my former roommate, just made my day by coming over. It was unplanned. She was to get this letter from a bank or something. She probably forgot to change her address on the records. :] Well, she arrived here and we talked, and talked, and talked. She said she had a night's duty. (She was a nursing student, by the way.) And she was big on cleanliness that's why everyday after school/duty, she would wash her medical uniforms lab coats. And she would iron that the next day. She's generally a good friend. She disclosed some stuff about her recent encounters, and I did some of mine.

I actually missed having her around. She used to make this room a little neat because sometimes I'm pretty lazy to do that. Effness to me! LOL! I remembered how we used to go to a dentist together. Oh elementary days! There were those dental office uniforms which looked almost exactly like the fashion seal medical scrubs you see on the Internet. Anyway, Mary Vic paid for my lunch which saved me a couple bucks. :]] LOL! The talking never ceased while we were eating. It just did when I arrived in Ayala because we had to separate ways.

Since it was Valentine's day, couples, flowers, cakes, and balloons were everywhere... like literally. It seemed like I was the only one walking alone. Sucks! It would be better if Eugene was also there. But hey, no worries. I felt so independent, which I think was a pretty good thing. I ordered some stuff over Watson's. I just thought I needed those for myself. Needed or wanted, no biggie. I went home immediately after. I can't stand the "things" I saw. ROFL! Bitter much?... Hell no!

When medical care fails...

2010-12-10T14:33:00.004+08:00

DePuy Manufacturing started designing and building fiber splints to replace wooden barrel staves that were used to set fractures. It has been operating to several countries around the world. Isn't it grand? The franchise was acquired by Johnson & Johnson in 1998, and formed part of the Johnson & Johnson Medical Devices & Diagnostic group.

I've known J&J since I was a child. It manufactures lots of products here in the Philippines. Well, it's a prestigious company, yes. So, I was surprised to read about DePuy having announced a voluntary recall last August of this year. It was about the high rate of hip replacement failure using that ASR system.

Because of what happened, it is necessary for every victim to find the appropriate lawyers for the DePuy hip replacement lawsuit. Justice is what's needed here. They can't just get away with that. When we consider health our wealth, isn't it right that we demand the proper amount of medical care?

Scrubs

2010-11-18T09:46:00.002+08:00

I have lots of friends that are nursing students. So I'm pretty much familiar with the nursing scrub uniforms that they wear. And I tell you, I'm not very happy to see it. I've always wanted to have a bright and happy outlook in life. I've always wanted colorful things, and their medical scrubs and uniforms are plain and simple. Oh! What the...

Well, I'm not really sure if medical uniform stores here in our place have the ones that I have in mind. I think I only found them on the Internet, except for those customized medical suits.
I'm a big fan of Grey's Anatomy, and there's this one episode that Derek Shepherd used a lovely medical cap or something of that sort. It looks fantastic on him.

I guess it makes medical people look less intimidating, especially if the doctors or nurses are assigned in the pediatric section. The kids love a colorful sight. Don't you agree? If I were a kid and I look at Arizona Robbins with her clipped-on-the-collar stuff toys, I would be extremely delighted. She always has this way of making kids at ease.

Convenience

2010-08-31T21:12:00.001+08:00

We just had our International Industrial Engineering Conference last week. The event was held at Parklane Cebu International Hotel. There were

, I think, hundreds of participants. Since our school was the host, it was decided that all fourth year and fifth year Industrial Engineering students should attend. Plus, there other participants outside the university. You can only imagine how great the number of people who attended it. Well, it was International, so it was a little prestigious.

Good thing the organizers made use of the crowd control equipment/facilities to help monitor the traffic of people, especially during the registration and meal time, of course. Belt stanchions were of great help.

In our school, especially on the main campus, they use those colorful velvet ropes on the entrances. There were no proper gates there, unlike in our campus in Talamban, so they need more of those crowd control equipment. I don't know of those barricades, though. I'm not always there, so I cannot tell. I usually go there during Intramurals week or if the need arises. It's too far from where I am currently staying. So much for inconvenience, I guess.

"My Short Essay about the Philippines"

2010-08-27T08:41:00.002+08:00

by Jaeyoun Kim

Filipinos always complain about the corruption in the Philippines. Do you really think the corruption is the problem of the Philippines? I do not think so. I strongly believe that the problem is the lack of love for the Philippines.

Let me first talk about my country, Korea. It might help you understand my point. After the Korean War, South Korea was one of the poorest countries in the world. Koreans had to start from scratch because the entire country was destroyed completely after the Korean War, and we had no natural resources.

Koreans used to talk about the Philippines, for Filipinos were very rich in Asia . We envy Filipinos. Koreans really wanted to be well off like Filipinos. Many Koreans diedof famine. My father's brother also died because of famine. Korean government was awfully corrupt and is still very corrupt beyond your imagination, but Korea was able to develop dramatically because Koreans really did their best for the common good with their heart burning with patriotism.

Koreans did not work just for themselves but also for their neighborhood and country. Education inspired young men with the spirit of patriotism.

40 years ago, President Park took over the government to reform Korea. He tried to borrow money from other countries, but it was not possible to get a loan and attract a foreign investment because the economic situation of South Korea was so bad. Korea had only three factories. So, President Park sent many mine workers and nurses to

Germany so that they could send money to Korea to build a factory. They had to go through a horrible experience.

In 1964, President Park visited Germany to borrow money. Hundred of Koreans in Germany came to the airport to welcome him and cried there as they saw President Park . They asked to him, "President, when can we be well off?" That was the only question everyone asked to him. President Park cried with them and promised them that Korea would be well off if everyone works hard for Korea, and the President of Germany got the strong impression on them and lent money to Korea. So,President Park was able to build many factories in Korea. He always asked Koreans to love their country from their heart.

Many Korean scientists and engineers in the USA came back to Korea to help develop the country because they wanted their country to be well off. Though they received very small salary, they did their best for Korea. They always hoped that their children would live in a well off country.

My parents always brought me to the places where poor and physically handicapped people live. They wanted me to understand their life and help them. I also worked for a Catholic church when I was in the army.The only thing I learned from the Catholic Church was that we have to love our neighbor. And I have loved my neighbor. Have you cried for the Philippines? I have cried for my country several times. I also cried for the Philippines because of so many poor people. I have been to the New Bilibid prison. What made me sad in the prison were the prisoners who do not have any love for their country. They go to mass and work for the Church. They pray everyday. However, they do not love the Philippines. I talked to two prisoners at the maximum security compound, and both of them said that they would leave the Philippines right after they are released from the prison. They said that they

would start a new life in other countries and never come back to the Philippines.

Many Koreans have a great love for Korea so that we were able to share our wealth with our neighbor. The owners of factories and companies distributed their profits to their employees fairly so that employees could buy what they needed and save money for the future and their children.

When I was in Korea, I had a very strong faith and wanted to be a priest. However, when I came to the Philippines, I completely lost my faith.I was very confused when I saw many unbelievable situations in the Philippines. Street kids always make me sad, and I see them everyday. The Philippines is the only Catholic country in Asia , but there are too many poor people here. People go to church every Sunday to pray, but nothing has been changed.

My parents came to the Philippines last week and saw this situation.They told me that Korea was much poorer than the present Philippines when they were young. They are so sorry that there so many beggars and street kids. When we went to Pagsanjan, I forced my parents to take a boat because it would be fun. However, they were not happy after taking the boat. They said that they would not take the boat again because they sympathized with the boatmen, for the boatmen were very poor and had a small frame. Most of people just took a boat and enjoyed it. But my parents did not enjoy it because of love for them.

My mother who has been working for a Catholic church since I was very young told me that if we just go to mass without changing ourselves,we are not Catholic indeed. Faith should come with action. She added that I have to love Filipinos and do good things for them because all of us are the same and have received a great love from God. I want Filipinos to love their neighbor and country as much as they love God so that the Philippines will be well off.

I am sure that love is the keyword which Filipinos should remember. We cannot change the sinful structure at once. It should start from the person. Love must start in everybody in a small scale and have to grow.

A lot of things happen if we open up to love. Let's put away our prejudices and look at our worries with new eyes. I discover that every person is worthy to beloved. Trust in love, because it makes changes possible. Love changes you and me. It changes people, contexts and relationships.It changes the world. Please love your neighbor and country.

Jesus Christ said that whatever we do to others, we do to Him. In the Philippines, there is God for people who are abused and abandoned. There is God who is crying for love. If you have a child, teach them how to love the Philippines. Teach them why they have to love their neighbor and country. You already know that God also will be

very happy if you love others.

That's all I really want to ask you Filipinos.

Down. Down. Down.

2010-08-18T19:14:00.003+08:00

I am pissed off greatly. My other blog, aimeenvincible.net, has been down for 2 days already. Gahd! Two days, I don't have access to it and it's depressing. It says internal server error. Yeah, yeah. I know that. Maybe my site hasn't propagated yet, because there was this server transfer.

I just hope it will be up again by...tomorrow? or even tonight. I miss my blog.

TV oh TV!

2010-03-06T09:41:00.003+08:00

Hey guys :)) It's been a pretty hectic week (or life, rather). I'm so excited to finish everything this semester. See, we have this Educational Tour in Luzon this March 22-28. I seriously can't wait. Good vibes, good vibes, please :D

What's up, guys? I've been watching Rubi every night. How do you find it? Me thinks it's amazing. Goodbye goody-two-shoes. LOL! But I only watch it through live streaming. And I was searching for something on the Internet about this Direct TV and I found it through DirectSatTV.com. They have this different Direct TV channels to choose from and it's really nice since I've been wanting to see these programs in my boarding house. You see, I'm always bored. I always run out of things to do during my lean days. Well, lean means I do not pending projects to finish yet.

Direct TV price is so reasonable that I want to ask my mom about it. Please pray that she will like this idea, too :) We have this new house. I also hope it will be finished soon because this Direct TV is a promising idea. My dad loves to watch TV, too. Direct TV has lots of specials. I'm sure he'll love this.

Woman who suffered 18 miscarriages finally gives birth to her a lovely baby girl

2010-02-19T23:29:00.003+08:00

After suffering 18 miscarriages, Angie Baker hardly dared hope that her 19th pregnancy would be successful.

But thanks to pioneering treatment, she is a mother at last.

Yesterday, as she cuddled her ten-week-old daughter Raiya, she said: 'She's my little miracle. I can't explain how I feel. I'm overwhelmed. It seems like a dream and I still have to pinch myself. She's perfect in every way.'

Boots

2010-01-02T13:51:00.004+08:00

Boots are pretty "in" these days. Have you noticed?
There are different types of boots. But, recently, I've been hearing a lot about these ugg boots. It's actually pretty, and suits very well to the cold weather outside. Also, for fashion! Woohoo.. Look at Kate Hudson wearing a pair of ugg..

It's actually pretty funny because my friend and I went to the mall recently, just to find a pair of boots. You see, I've been trying to picture myself wearing one, and it's pretty like-able somehow :)) I just hope it wouldn't cost a lot, eh? Or perhaps I should try looking for ugg boots sale now.

My Grown-Up Christmas List

2009-12-19T09:01:00.004+08:00

This is one of my all-time favorite Christmas songs. Very classic. Very inspiring still.

LYRICS:My Grown-Up Christmas List

Do you remember me?
I sat upon your knee
I wrote to you
With childhood fantasies
Well I'm all grown up now
Can you still help somehow?
I'm not a child
But my heart still can dream

So here's my lifeful wish
My grown up Christmas List
Not for myself
But for a world in need

No more lives torn apart
That wars will never start
And time will heal our hearts
Every man will have a friend
That right will always win
And love will never end
This is my grown up
Christmas List

May kindness rules our lives
Not just the strong survive
Sweet tears
For all the thousand years
On mind
This is the world I pray
We will all share some way
Help me begin
By reaching out my hand

No more lives torn apart
That wars will never start
And time will heal our hearts
Every man will have a friend
That right will always win
And love will never end
This is my grown up
Christmas List

Why does this illusion
Call the innocence of you?
Maybe when the time believe
We can find the truth
No

No more lives torn apart
That wars will never start
And time will heal our hearts
Every man will have a friend
That right will always win
And love will never end
This is my grown up
Christmas List

This is the prayer
That I will keep
This is my grown up
Christmas list
Christmas list

My Christmas Wish-list

2009-12-14T19:29:00.006+08:00

Christmas Day is fast approaching, isn't it? And it had already started to get cold. Somehow, I am thankful that there's no Air Conditioner in the boarding house that I'm staying, though it's still cold because there are plenty of trees here..

Anyway, it's only 11 days before Christmas Day and, I think, today is not too late to start my Christmas Wish List. I'm sure you already did yours. Right?? :P Ha ha ha! I know, I'm just late...

Actually, there are lots of things that I want, (oh! I'm sorry, Lord, for being a bit materialistic. I'm just human. I also want things that I can hold.) but let me just share to you my top five :)) [in random order]

1. Mac Book Pro - Well, who doesn't want one? It is super slim, super light, super durable. Whoah! Pure love... Ha ha ha! Is this available on E-Bay? I would love to bid.

2. Digital SLR - Recently, one of my friends purchased a second-hand DSLR (Canon EOS-20D), still in good quality condition. And, mind you, it's only for twenty-three thousand pesos (roughly, 500 USD). Imagine how jealous I was. The market price for that said camera is almost $2000. It's really a good buy. I just hope it's available on some unique auction sites, and it would cost cheaper. *dream on*

3. Apple iPod - I am truly a musically-inclined person. And during this Holiday season, it's really perfect to just relax, sit on the couch and have your music-hungry ears fed.

4. Complete Set of the Harry Potter Series - Everybody knows that I have an insatiable lust for books. I have always loved reading. Well, there are still other books that I so want to acquire, but that HP collection is on top of my list.. Yeah, I have read every book in that series, but I just borrowed. And, now, I want to have my own set displayed on my shelf.. Ha ha ha! Isn't it lovely? I'm imagining it right now :P

5. A FREE Asian Cruise - Who doesn't want this??? Tell me :P

Page Rank increase again...

2009-12-13T12:47:00.003+08:00

Everything is going pretty well. Don't you think?

It's just that I haven't blogged here for a while. So

rry for that. I've been pretty busy these days.

But I still try to watch PBB Double Up every night and the live streaming. It's just amazing :D

Anyway, I am very thankful to everyone for visiting my site even with less updates :)) But don't worry, I still comment back XD

And for the cherry-on-top, here is my latest page rank...

Gold! Gold!

2009-10-30T14:22:00.004+08:00

Gold, gold, gold!... Oh yeah, let's talk about gold.
Theoretically speaking, gold is a chemical element with Au as its symbol. Well, Au because it is based from the Latin word Aurum. It has been one of the most sought-after metal since the beginning of the recorded history. Why?... Because gold symbolizes wealth, elegance, and power. In the earlier times, people used gold coins, silver coins, and the like, as their primary form of money.

An example of a gold coin is this....

A Portuguese Gold Coin

And since gold coins are hard to store nowadays, it is best to find the best gold investment company. Oh yes. There are lots out there, but it's hard to find the best suitable one. The one you can trust.
Therefore, it's good to know that there is Gold Coins Gain. It is an Aurum advisor's website :D They're just a call or a click away.

In their site, you can also buy gold bullion there. And every gold bullion coin is, more or less, $1000!

So what are you waiting for? Visit their site now, for more information. Click here. I know you'll thank me for this :P

Online Algebra Tutor

2009-10-29T20:59:00.005+08:00

Mathematics is one of the reasons why students in their secondary level of education fail. Math problems basically need analysis. But not everyone is good with it. Some people are just too tired or too lazy to even think about the answers. Or maybe they weren't trained. Yes, you know what I mean. Children nowadays think more about play and not work. What with fast-evolving technology, it's really hard to keep their focus on the school stuff, right?

So, other tutoring company came up with an innovative idea. Since almost every home has its own personal computer these days, it's time to make studying a more fun-filled activity. Yes, with the help of these computer and the Internet, of course, TutorVista is helping students by providing online tutorials for K-12 and college students, for as low as $99.99 per month. That is an unlimited monthly tutoring package. How cool is that!!!

They have Math word problems, Algebra word problems, and the like. They also provide Math answers that corresponds to the problems. And the Algebra help, and Algebra 2 help. Isn't it handy? It's all in one site. Thanks to TutorVista. Now, students can make full use of the technology in making learning a fun-filled experience.

Books

2009-10-16T11:11:00.002+08:00

Oh yeah! Let's talk about books, e-books, and stuff. Everyone knows here how I love books. It's been my passion since grade school. Whenever I go to a mall or something, I never fail to locate bookstores just to satisfy my cravings. Yes, cravings because, I think, it's what you call for a longing that is so inevitable it could make you lose your senses if you don't get it. I know this is really silly, but who cares? It's my prerogative.

Anyway.. I have heard about this site in which they provide a search engine for PDFs. Yes, you heard that right. And when I say pdf, I mean the e-books. I am very thankful for this E-book Search Queen. They have this very wide range of collection. You just have to go to their site, type what you're looking for, and they'll search the pdf for you. How cool is that.

This is very easy, you know. You wanna give it a try? No problem. :)) Because I'm already trying it for myself.

Business Galore

2009-10-16T10:15:00.003+08:00

I am a total couch potato. When I'm at home, all I really want to is to sit down and watch the television. It's really very entertaining. That is really one of those things that I miss from home. You see, I am currently in another island right now because of these studies and stuff. Yes, I really miss being at home. I miss our TV. I miss Chowder on Cartoon Network. I miss Disney Channel, Star Movies, HBO, et cetera. Yeah, the goodness of cable.

Anyway, speaking of television, does Direct TV Business ring a bell to you? Because, it really does to me. Ha ha ha. I've heard about this one couple of times before. And I even considering this Directv Business here. It's really cool. You see, they are even have this exclusive sports programming where you can watch your favorite sport or team play. Yes, no matter what team. This is something that people don't get with only cable.

They are also giving away special promos for phone orders. If you want Direct TV for Business, you just have to call 1.800.595.9981 for a free quote. How cool is that!!! I don't know is this is accessible in our area. But imma try this magnificent offer. It's really a shame to pass this one. I hope this Commercial Direct TV reaches the Philippines.

Halloween Costumes

2009-09-23T22:04:00.002+08:00

Are you excited for Halloween already? :D
I know it is still September (well, almost end of September), but, you see, I love Halloweens because...first, no class. Second, trick-or-treat. And third, the lovely Halloween costumes. Don't you just love it?! Ha ha! People really prepare for the scariest costume ever, especially the kids, the oh so adorable kiddies.

And, yeah, I also remember Lindsay Lohan in Mean Girls. I really think that her costume there could freak me out. But I love this one more:

Okay, nevermind the face. Ha ha! I love this costume simply because it makes me remember my all-time favorite actor, Johnny Depp or Jack Sparrow in the Pirates of the Caribbean. Also, I find this costume really cool that whenever someone wears this, that someone would look better. You know, with the rugged look, it's adorable.
FYI: This costume, from the pirate hat to the boots (including the accessories), only costs USD $89.95 :D Pretty affordable for a costume. Coolness.

I also found another one...

Oh yeah! A fairy costume. Tell me a girl who doesn't want to have a fairy costume for Halloween and I'd go nuts. And by girl here, I mean the girly girls. This is a very lovely one. The moment I saw this at costumecauldron.com, I was like...OH-WOW!!! I couldn't really say more.
FYI: This costume only costs USD $99.95 :D

I hope you understand that opinions vary, and that you might not like my options. If you want to see more, just visit costumecauldron.com. They got lots variety of costumes to choose from. And they also accept Paypal. How cool is that?!?
Another wonderful thing....

FREE SHIPPING!!!!

Ha ha! Great!

Some of the favorite things...

2009-09-22T20:24:00.006+08:00

You see, everyone of us is not getting any younger. And any time soon, we're going to build our own family. Yes, I have been thinking about these things for quite some time now. I am nearing the end of my college days (or at least I am hoping so), and soon enough I am going to get married and have kids. Oh yeah.. Ha ha ha!

But before that, I seriously need to have a stable job first and, of course, a cozy home where love and peace reverberates in its every corner. Well, I admit, I am a sucker for light fixtures, lamps and other decorative materials. I am not materialistic much but I want my home to be as vibrant as the summer day. I want to have lots of colors. I also want chandeliers. Oh my! I have seen lots of magazines, home-related magazines. I am really amazed with some of the chandeliers hanging on the ceilings. It's too lovely. I love it..

Every time I go to a mall and I pass by a Furniture store or something like that, I never fail to take a look at every lamp there, especially when I am with my boyfriend. He has a good taste, that is. I'm even thinking that when we already have our own home, he will be the one in charge of the choosing part.. I know this is hilarious but, I tell you, he's more organized than I am. He's the guy and I'm the lady. But with his OC-ness, he's more of a girl than me. Ha ha ha!

And, yeah, I am also a sucker for coffee, and I think all of my friends are super aware with it. So coffee+colorful coffee table is super duper lala-love <3

I seriously love the second lamp because PURPLE is LOVE :))

Story time :))

2009-09-21T12:08:00.002+08:00

A Husband takes his wife to play her first game of golf.

Of course, the wife promptly hacked her first shot right through the window of the biggest house adjacent to the course.

The husband cringed, "I warned you to be careful! Now we'll have to go up there, find the owner, apologize and see how much your lousy drive is going to cost us."
So the couple walked up to the house and knocked on the door

A warm voice said, "Come on in."
When they opened the door they saw the damage that was done: glass was all over the place, and a broken antique bottle was lying on its side near the pieces of window glass.

A man reclining on the couch asked, "Are you the people that broke my window?"

"Uh.yeah! , sir. We're sure sorry about that," the husband replied.

"Oh, no apology is necessary... Actually I want to thank you. You see, I'm a genie, and I've been trapped in that bottle for a thousand years.
Now that you've released me, I'm allowed to grant three wishes. I'll give you each one wish, but if you don't mind, I'll keep the last one for myself."

Wow, that's great!" the husband said. He pondered a moment and blurted out, "I'd like a million dollars a year for the rest of my life."

"No problem," said the genie "You've got it, it's the least I can do.
And I'll guarantee you a long, healthy life!"

"And now you, young lady, what do you want?" the genie asked.
"I'd like to own a gorgeous home complete with servants in every country in the world," she said.

"Consider it done," the genie said. "And your homes will always be safe from fire, burglary and natural disasters!"
"And now," the couple asked in unison, "what's your wish, genie?"
"Well, since I've been trapped in that bottle, and haven't been with a woman in more than a thousand years, my wish is to have sex with your wife."

The husband looked at his wife and said, "Gee, honey, you know we both now have a fortune, and all those houses. What do you think?"

She mulled it over for a few moments and said, "You know, you're right.

Considering our good fortune, I guess I wouldn't mind, but what about you, honey?"

You know I love you sweetheart," said the husband. I'd do the same for you!"
So the genie and the woman went upstairs where they spent the rest of the afternoon enjoying each other. The genie was insatiable.

After about three hours of non-stop sex, the genie rolled over and looked directly into her eyes and asked, How old are you and your husband?"

"Why, we're both 35," she responded breathlessly.

"No Kidding," he said. "Thirty-five years old and both of you still believe in genies?"

--------Hahaha.. this made me LOL.. No kidding! :D----

Making Money with Twitter

2009-09-21T11:00:00.000+08:00

Well, it's really convenient for me. I've been a twitter user for almost two years already. I always make use of the blogger-advertiser when it comes to making money online. But this one is so much easier. You don't have to write anything because it generates updates on its own. Amazing, indeed.

So what are you waiting for? Join the craze.

Intramurals

2009-09-06T15:48:00.003+08:00

Last week, our school celebrated it's Foundation Anniversary. It started on a Sunday since we had the mass, first thing for the event. But the official opening was on Tuesday. Unfortunately, I was not able to attend the opening because we had to make our school project. Plus, the event was held on the main campus which was not quite convenient for me. Also, I wanted to stay away from the crowd because it makes my head heat up. Gahd! What with those stampede-type moments, especially in the entrance of the building. Yeah, there wasn't enough crowd control. They only have those stanchions on the main gate. I just hope they'll use the velvet rope type of stanchion so it will hurt less since they are more gentle to the skin. Or the barricades will do.

So, okay, me and my friends decided to attend only during the closing ceremony because the PopJazz competition is frequently held during that time. The venue was in USC Main Gym. Yeah, it's in the main campus. But we are really eager to watch the PopJazz. It's our only waited-for event. Downside are the stampede-type moments again. But we can handle that, though I still can't help but comment.

I am an Industrial Engineering student and every IE is particular with the effeciency and effectiveness of every method.

New Domain...again?

2009-08-22T01:39:00.003+08:00

Well, as for the title, I'm still thinking about buying a new domain. I'm still weighing my options since there are a lot of things to consider. First, the domain name. Woohoo! As of now, I have my personal domain, aimeenvincible.net. For the benefit of those unaware, I chose that domain name because I really wanted a URL that would signify fierceness. And, of course, call me vain, but I also wanted my name to be in it. Ha ha ha! Silly much, eh?

Well, the second thing to consider is where you would buy your domain name. And the third, which I think is one of the most important things to consider is choosing the best website hosting service that is really worth the price. I had my sucking experience once with my previous host and I don't want it to happen to anyone anymore.

You see, it is still best to search for the best provider. We have the WWW for that and Web Hosting Geeks to rank the web hosting services according to serviceability and efficiency. Great, isn't it? In WHG, we are already provided with the number one provider. So there is less hassle and hesitations on choosing the right one.

And as of the moment, InMotion, which provides customers with Business Web Hosting.
See, it's really helpful. You can also visit their blog to be more aware of what they are offering.

Music Online

2009-08-08T12:12:00.002+08:00

For the past years, I have been using different peer-to-peer file-sharing programs in downloading files (music or applications, usually). I am a musically inclined person and these computer programs have helped me download my favorite songs anytime (and for free!) without really knowing what effects they give to me. Oh! Well, except for increased entertainment.

Just recently, I just learned some of the effects of these programs. And I tell you, they're not really promising. Here are some:

Your computer’s IP address is broadcast to millions of people. Sophisticated computer hackers can get into your system if they know your computer’s IP address.
They’re free because, when you install them on your computer, you also install spyware and adware.
The quality of the audio files you download runs from very bad to very good, and you never know how bad or good a file is until you download and play it. Some audio files are incomplete. Others are not what they claim to be.

-taken from this site

This information helped me a lot. Call me whatever but, seriously, I never really knew about those. It got me thinking of removing my peer-to-peer file-sharing programs installed in my lappy just so I could avoid these effects, and buy original albums instead. Woohoo! In that way, piracy is somehow lessen.

Another way is by purchasing from authorized online music stores. The cost of downloading an audio file from an online music store ranges from 79 to 99 cents. Some websites charge $20 to $30 per month subscription fee.

What do you think? I hope this information helped you, too.

Web Directories

2009-08-08T10:54:00.007+08:00

Do you want to increase your blog traffic? For businesses, this is pretty essential because it helps them gain more customers. So by using a web directory, your blog traffic would likely increase.

A web directory, by the way, provides a list of various websites. It is not a search engine and does not display websites by its keywords. The websites are categorized into categories and subcategories according to the concept of the whole website, not on the idea of every page. It is really helpful because it reduces the search time. And if you really narrow down your search, you can have a better and accurate results.

But we have to be careful with these directories. Others entice us with advertisements and other special offers but, in reality, there might be nothing to do with quality in the websites that they list. So we must also consider the authenticity of these websites to avoid disappointments.

Examples of a trustedd web directory is the Yahoo! Directory.

Yahoo Directory is one of the most popular web directories in the World Wide Web since it is used by most business owners all over the globe.

Another one is business.com. By the name itself, we can see what this directory is for, right?

The difference between a web directory and a search engine is their efficiency. Directories are more efficient since they provide only the homepage of the site that you are searching for. So you do not have to go through the hassle of going through individual pages to get your preferred link.

As I said, these directories are really helpful to those who are a business-engaging website. This will increase the blog traffic and page rank so great profit is easily attained.

Tell me what you think :)

Cars cars!

2009-07-22T00:11:00.008+08:00

I know most people right now have cars. It has become a necessity especially when you're living in a big city. So when I will talk about superchargers, it's something "relatable", right? (if there's even a word as such) Oh well!

As for me, I'm really not that familiar with superchargers since I'm not so much into cars. What I know is only the basic information. But I found this superchargerpros.com and it's really helpful. They are selling superchargers with an affordable price. Examples are the mercedes supercharger, pontiac supercharger, and the buick supercharger.

And if you wanted to know something, you can inquire. They really have a fantastic customer service and it's so helpful especially to those who have little 'knowings' about the said product (like me! woohoo!).

BTW, a supercharger is an "air compressor used for forced induction of an internal combustion engine." So it somehow deals with oxygen. And I can relate that one to the human body. Humans need oxygen to survive. It is one of the most essential things to us. We need oxygen so that our body can perform its functions well. Likewise, cars need oxygen because it is a major factor of an automotive performance. "By forcing air into the system either with a supercharger or turbocharger we can greatly improve horsepower, torque and more." (from superchargerpros.com)
So to ensure that the product is working really well, purchase it from trusted sellers like the superchargerpros.com :)

Examples of products offered:

A buick supercharger

A mercedes supercharger

I miss TV!

2009-07-17T15:34:00.004+08:00

Have you had a feeling that you wanted to relax, sit on the couch and just feel the air of freedom?! I bet you have. Because I, too, often think of things like that. Yeah, I guess it really shows how I miss being just at home.
I miss the TV, really :) Last vacation, all I really did was watch the television. Ha ha ha! It was really silly now that I thought of it since I watched carton shows most of the time. Well, it's good to go back to being a carefree kid, right? No hassles and stuff!
Anyways, about the television stuff, I also watch movies in HBO, Star Movies, etc. I was like having a movie marathon via cable. And that is everyday :) But, much as I want to see every good show there is, our cable TV has only limited channel selection. And it sucks when some of my online friends will talk about this show and that, and I can't relate because we don't have that channel at home.
Sometimes, I think about moving to Direct TV just so we will have a wide-range of selection at home. My father also loves to watch movies, so I might tell him about this and give it a try. It's only $29.99 per month and it's worth it. Channels are also in HD :) How cool is that!
There is also a Direct TV in California, New York, etc.
Another thing is that they're giving special offers for phone orders. You just have to call 866-615-8128 for you to find out. I don't really know if this is accessible in our area but I can't really help it. This is a really good offer and I just can't let it pass.

Note to those who don't know: Directv provides television and audio services to subscribers through satellite transmissions.

Do you care? :)

Short Update :)

2009-07-04T23:39:00.002+08:00

This is a short update!!!
Ha ha ha!
I'm just so happy to tell everyone that, finally, i have Internet connection in my room already. I'm using SmartBro. It's good, by far. I know there are some negative comments with regards to their service but I went for it still. Well, it's because I have no choice or something. Other Internet Service Providers will not able to reach my place since it's so far (so far from the civilazation.. hahaha) or something like that.. Ha ha ha!
Well, they just installed it this afternoon and I'm so happy though I wasn't able to attend my friend's birthday party since the installation took a lot of time. And I could not leave the room since I was the only one there.. Anyway, it's still okay. I bet my friend understood the situation :)

That would be all for now. Bye guys. I'll be bloghopping later XD

Make Yourself Amazing

2009-07-04T16:05:00.005+08:00

People often say that when you have it, flaunt it. This, actually, is true especially when you talk about the physical aspect of a person. Admit it, looking good is like building confidence. Am I not right? :)
That is one of the reasons why breast enlargement had been so popular these days. Some also choose to have a "nose job" since having a perfect nose is really something, right?
So here! To those who are really interested, I found something online that might be of great help to those people who are not that confident with their looks.

Shoes Galore

2009-06-28T17:22:00.003+08:00

Fun! Fun! Fun! I guess that's what most girls just wanted to do. Partying all night, going out to different places or even just stroll..
And the good thing about being a girl is that you can doll her up any way you want. I can totally relate to this since I am a girl and I have every right in the world to do what I want with myself.
And in going out or partying with friends, aside from the get-up and stuff, shoes are one thing to be considered. If you go to a bar or something, you should not, or you cannot just wear any shoes. You have to wear THAT pair of shoes.. You know, it's one thing I learned from a certain television series is that you should pick the best shoes because they're the ones that take you to different places. Or something like that.
Well, that's why I'm really thankful for online shops that showcases variety of shoes, perfect for a girl's need. And since this month is considered as a wedding month, I looked through shopwiki and found these wedding shoes:

This type is said to be good for a Bohemian bride. I find it really cute. So what do you say? :)

That's not all. There are also running shoes and rain boots. Well, there are a lot more you can find at shopwiki. It's a really good shop. :)

The first one is an Adidas A3 Cushion shoe. Well, it's a running shoe. There are also other brands like Nike, New Balance, etc. It's really good since a good pair of running shoes is perfect for every runner.

The next photo next to that Adidas is a rain boot. "...with the rising popularity of rain boots, rainy days can give you an excellent opportunity to show of your sense of style while staying dry..."

Page Rank increase :)

2009-05-29T21:23:00.007+08:00

Shocks!!! I could hardly believe it!
I just heard that Google page rank has been updated so I immediately checked the PR of this blog and see what I got....

From 1 to 2.. woohoo! I really did not expect this since I was so busy with aimeenvincible.net that I barely had time to update this blog.
I really have to thank you, guys, for being so good to me. Thank you for the visits and the comments though I can't comment on your blogs regularly. I really appreciate it guys. Now I find it real hard to leave this one..

I'm so happy about this. I know I'm being shallow but I could not help myself. Today is so great. Also, this morning Cleveland Cavaliers won against Orlando Magic. Woohoo! Go go go, Cavaliers. Go go go, Lebron!!! XD XD

Hair, hair, hair! XD

Update and Brainless :)

2009-05-10T16:47:00.010+08:00

I'm really sorry guys for not updating much. I was so busy with school. Got loads of exams and damn... woohoo... But I still think that last week was the best, by far.
Though it started out as almost-hell, the last two days of it was the total opposite.
Friday afternoon, I was strolling the mall with Mikyu, Jessa and Leslie. I was really surprised to realize that we didn't spend a single cent. Woohoo... It was a day of catching up [though I often see Leslie and Jessa in school].. ROFL
And Friday night, I was in the Ayala Mall with Eugene and his fellow ex-seminarians of Don Bosco. It was really my first time with them and it was pure fun. I was laughing my heart out that my jaw almost gave up.. We had dinner at Giligan's at the Terraces. It was quite pricey, but I could still recommend the place. It was super sulit. Eugene and I didn't spend so much though. The fellas knew we're still students and, god, t'was already a Friday. Ha ha ha... So there. I never knew seminarians could horse around the way Bosconians do. They're corny but there's still the air of brilliance in every statement. Woohoo...
And at about 9pm, Brother Don-don came over. [TRIVIA: He's the only one in their batch still unordained.] He delivered the best jokes that night. Ha ha ha! XD And he ordered the largest pizza at Shakey's.. *at dalawa pa* yay! Super busog ko talaga... Ayun! I reached home almost 12 na... It was really fun XD XD

And yesterday, SATURDAY!!! Mama came over to buy me this....

I named it "Brainless"! I don't know why :)

See the specs here XD
and I'm giving all the love to Mama, Papa and the dearest sister <3

That would be all for now. I'll be returning comments later. Promise XD

Another Tumblr fun :)

2009-05-03T18:09:00.007+08:00

Sunday is, as usual, boring. I'm just here in a net cafe and I'm totally excited about next weekend. Don't bother asking. Me not telling. Ha ha ha! Okay. So I was just site-hopping and I landed at Tumblr [try scrolling down at my page, you'll see the wonder ;)] and I wanted to kill time so I just clicked every cute image I could find and reblog... Long story short, I happened to stumble here.
I was searching for images, yet the very thing that made my day was a video. I don't know if you've seen it already and I'm just being totally outdated, though I couldn't care less about that, but I couldn't help myself sharing this to all. Ha ha! So here. Just look at the little boy's reaction at 1:13.. LOL

This video really made my day. I love his facial expressions.
And the colour blind thing?!.. It may be sort of hard to notice but they are of different races, hence, colour blind :)

The phrase "Our children are colour blind" is a way of saying they are not racist, that racism and hatred are learned over time and not inherently inbred in humanity.

--And for the preceding post, there was no question at all. It was simply stated that the Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Fred and What were Maggie Mathematical's sons. Super easy, eh? :)
A lot of you got it but I'll only be mentioning 3 since that was the original idea. And they are Ate Tin, Mikyu and Ate Jhoice. *dance*

And I think I'm not in the mood for another brain teaser right now. Just focus on the video nalang ;) Weeeeeehhh.. And don't forget to comment here and indicate that I referred you. My URL must also be included... Haaaaay! Kulit ko talaga no? He he. I know you'll help me, kasi if not, I'll bite your head off. Ha ha! Kidding XD
Thank you so much, cuties.

FANNY BANK!!!! toot

2009-05-01T16:53:00.018+08:00

I purchased a Sun Star newspaper last week, you know, just to catch up with the nation's latest talk-abouts. But eventually, I lost interest, that day's issue was boring
So I was just flipping the pages, looking at the colorful images. And when I landed at the last page, here's what I found...

photo from: Prank Place

I really think this thing is awesome. (sorry for the image though! i can't seem to connect the photos.. kakapagod mag-edit kaya hindi ko na lang ginawa!! hehe)

With our hilarious Fanny Bank, saving your pennies will be a real gas! Drop in a coin and hear this bank fart in digital audio. It's so loud and so disgusting, you won't want to stop dropping coins in the crack!

quoted from here.

Amazing isn't it? You just need 3 AA batteries and you can start dropping some loot and hear the Fanny Bank toot.

You can also buy the farting Fanny Bank and the $100-Bill Toilet Paper together for only $15.99 --CLICK THIS-- for more info XD Farting's really in today, huh!

And for the brain-teaser in this entry, only Isha got the answer I was looking for.
--Ans: The EGG comes first. Dinosaurs laid eggs, right? So eggs already existed even before chickens did And I did not mention chicken egg, anyway :)

Here's for today:

Maggie Mathematical has five sons. One is called Alpha, another is called Beta, the third is called Gamma and the fourth is called Fred. What is the fifth son's name.

easy, easy! trust me ..good luck, cuties XD

The contest is still up! And I'm so sad kasi I think I'm not gonna win. Binasa ko kasi yung mga comments sa page ni Ate Ai~ and wala pa talaga akong na-refer dun or something What to do, what to do?!

You can still help me, guys! You just have to drop a substantial comment and tell her I referred you. You should also put my URL :) I'm not persuading everyone. It's really up to you if you want to help... So good luck to me, to us

St. Augustine School of Medical Assistants

2009-05-01T15:58:00.011+08:00

Medical Assistants are pretty in-demand lately. Wouldn't you agree? It starts with the need of helping other people. Passion, that is. And it is really a good thing that certain schools made things pretty easy to some people who really aspire to become a medical assistant. I recently learned about St. Augustine School of Medical Assistants that helps those people. They provide online courses. Hell yeah! It is online and really convenient. And I quoted something from their site.

Our Medical Assistant School is now very convenient: Just enroll online, attend online classes at your convenience, take the online medical assistant exam at the end of the program and earn your certificate in as little as 6-8 weeks!

Amazing, isn't it? Less hassles. You don't need to wait for several years just to pass your applications and stuff. You just have to press the buttons and there! You're on the track :)
I never really thought that these online medical school could ever be possible. I was even surprise when I learned about St. Augustine School of Medical Assistants. As an Industrial Engineering student who is really particular of the accessibility of things, I really think this program is marvelous. Plus, the enrollees will be trained by professional assistants themselves. Coolness!!! Yay!..

Strength + Award

2009-04-26T18:28:00.009+08:00

Firstly, I'll give you the answer to the brain-teaser I gave you on my previous entry.. Here it is:

He ties the rope round the tree on the shore, and then carries the rope on a walk around the island. As he passes the halfway mark, the rope starts to wrap around the tree on the island, and when he reaches his starting point he ties the other end of the rope to the tree on the shore and pulls himself across on the rope.

And the first two cuties who got it right are: Aldren & Ate Rhoda.. Yay!

Moving on.....
weeeehh! It's so wet today. The cats and dogs are really running wild, eh? Oh well! The other day, the sun was scorching hot and I was bitching about it. And now that "The sky is falling!" [quoted from Chicken Little..LOL], I'm complaining again. It just proves that I never run out of complains or something of that sort, which makes me more of an IE. Ha ha ha!

Anyways, I want to tell you all that the contest is still up and I hope guys will help me win a domain. God! I really want it! Please, please, please... Help me! You just have to drop a sensible comment at her site and tell her I referred you. --CLICK THIS--

And with the Thermodynamics exam I told you about in my last post, I think I aced it again. If not, maybe just one mistake or you know.. Ha ha ha! Thanks to those who wished me good luck! Hope you'll do the same thing again since I'll be having another quiz tomorrow. Strength of Materials naman! whooooah! I don't expect myself to ace this one, what with those shearing, bearing, circumferential stresses and so on, but I still raise my hopes up. Wishful thinking talaga! Weeeeeh! Pray for me, okay?

I'm also happy to tell you, guys, that Ashika gave me an award! I'll put it in my sidebar. A bunch of thanks to her.
And now, I'll give the Award to the following people: Mikyu, Jessa, Janile, Ate Ai~, and Aldren.
Please go here to know the rules in posting XD

And for the post-ender, here's the brain-teaser of the day:

Which comes first, egg or chicken? Explain your answer!! [Explanation is the most important factor here.]

[I'm not talking about the Bible here, FYI. The explanation must be based on facts, or, yeah, scientific.]

And again, NO CHEATING! :) That's all for now. Good luck to all of us XD

Update + Brain-teaser :)

2009-04-23T17:33:00.006+08:00

Hi everyone XD I feel so thrilled today. I don't know why.. I think it's about our Thermodynamics exam tomorrow. I haven't studied yet [maybe later]. I have this giddy feeling that I'll get a high score again. Ha ha ha! Last week, I aced it.. Weeeeehh! I'm not bragging! I'm just so happy about it.. XD

Well, nothing really happened today. I woke up at around six in the morning and getting out of bed seemed to require a good deal of effort. And my first class, Strength of Materials, just so happened to be 2 hours later. So I slept again and woke up [again] at exactly 7:10. Waaah! With my slow-poke motion, 50 minutes don't seem to be enough. Still, I did my best so I could catch up with the time, which, I think, is moving too fast. A little too fast.. huh!

God must really love me. I think he stopped the time for a little while just so I could arrive at school at exactly eight.. Yes, yes, I wasn't late. And good thing our teacher does not usually call the roll, in case I was.
Well, our teacher's really good, not only because he doesn't call the roll, but also because he's plain brilliant. He could easily stimulate our senses and he gives concrete examples. It's really helpful for me because, naturally, I really can't relate with this stuff with the Civil Engineers since it's not wholly in line with my field of study. And our teacher's examples somehow give me something to picture out. And it's really something. My sister also shared that he was almost the Suma Cum Laude during his years. Well, only "almost" because...I don't know. It has something to do with the ROTC!.. Yeah, just that. But he was Magna Cum Laude. It's still good... Ha ha ha! He's got a cute pair of eyes, by the way., especially when he crinkles his nose and all that. It makes him... so youthful! Ha ha ha!

And before I go random again, I'll give you a brain-twister. Well, I think I'll be throwing one every now and then, whenever I feel like it... No, no! I'm not giving prizes here, unfortunately. I'm still broke, you know... It's just up to you if you like to give it a try or something. I'll just plug the sites of the first three people who'll get it right, along with the correct answer, on my next entry.... And no looking at other people's answer. I really do appreciate honesty. :) So here it is, this is really easy....

The figure shows a small island, on which is a tree, in the middle of a large and deep lake, which is 300 yards across. On the shore is another tree.

How might a man, who is unable to swim, with only a length of rope rather more than 300 yards long, get from the shore to the island?

----- Brain-teasers sure make me miss D' Hacienderas. We had a whole lot of those before, with Mikyu being the one who do the questioning and the rest of us would squeeze our brains until we got the right answer... hhhmmmm.. nostalgia much?! Ha ha ha!

Real Estate

2009-04-23T08:40:00.003+08:00

Real Estate... would you believe it if I say that I'm planning on getting into this business when I get older and collected more $$$? Well, yeah! It really is my dream. I don't know why... I've read this book Rich Dad, Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki when I was only a first year college student and that is how I got the idea.
But I know it needs a lot of money in starting this kind of stuff.. So when I found the Wilmington NC Real Estate, it's like a sprinkle of hope. I'm not doing business with them, for your information. I'm just thinking of a house, a place where [maybe] i could live one day, when I decide to stay away from this place. I have Arizona already on my list. And I want a new one to add to it. Yeah, talking about choices.
So, with Wilmington NC Real Estate, it's really affordable, if you compare it to some other coastal real estate markets outside of Wilmington. And here, I found this Forest Hills Wilmington NC Home for Sale. Take a look....

the front, rear, office, and yard..

I think the house is really cozy! And with the yard, I can really picture out Snow White in it! Ha ha ha! I just don't know why...

Maribago Bluewater Summer Blowout :)

2009-04-22T18:29:00.010+08:00

oh! Summer, summer, summer!!! And what's the best thing about it?... Outings!!! But I haven't started hanging out yet, what with these summer classes. I'm taking Strength of Materials and Thermodynamics for now... And in between these classes, one of my friends mentioned something about the Beach! Well, I was thinking about the movie, the one with Leonardo. ROFL! *silly me*

And later I found out that it was about special SUMMER BLOWOUT by the Maribago Bluewater Beach Resort! It will be this May 16, 2009. [Mikyu told me about it!]
Well, I haven't really heard about this resort before. I'm not really familiar with the resorts here. *poor me* But when I looked over the net, these are what I found...

Tempting, indeed!!! And whoever said that the best things in life are expensive must be really joking because this summer blowout is FREE, like, you know... I don't have to dig up the dictionary for the meaning of the word!!! It's even more tempting, eh? wahahaha...
Cebu Bloggers Society is invited to this and I'm happy to be part of it!!! My system could not really afford to miss this thing...again! If time permits, this would be my first time [or second if you would count the first meeting] to hang out with my fellow CBS members since I was not able to attend the CBS Camp Out last weekend :( So sad!...

Well, I'm really looking forward to this event! Maribago Bluewater sure looks soooooo much like a summer haven! :)

You can visit PINOYWORLD to know more about this special blowout, and Maribago Bluewater Blog for the resort's stuffs, events and promos.

Catch you there, guys! :)

[/Off-topic/] I'm thinking of removing my tagboard, it somewhat annoys me sometimes... People keep saying, "blah2x was here!" and don't even comment or something. I bet they're not even reading the posts... Haaaaayy!.. Okay, tell me what you think about me-removing-my-tagboard!! Thanx, guys! [/Off-topic/]

Boyle-n' Over!

2009-04-22T18:12:00.002+08:00

A lot of people ask about Adam Lambert! Well, he's good, regardless of him being gay or whatever. I love his voice. He's a good performer and versatile, indeed!!! Simon even gave him a standing ovation. How cool is that?!? Ha ha ha!

Another lazy Saturday XD

2009-04-18T20:05:00.008+08:00

Apparently, I have a new layout [credits on the bottom] I've been wanting to change it for like a month already, but I'm too lazy to edit one. But I don't know what had gotten into my system yesterday that finally I was able to get past my laziness and edited this one. I kinda love the way it was made, coded and bloggerized, if there's even a word like that, by Falcon Hive. Ha ha ha! (I hope I'll get paid for this! ) Kidding!! [or not!]

That's it. I love the layout. I hope you do also coz if not, I'll bite your head off. Ha ha ha I also added some Blogger Hacks I found online. I think it's really adorable and colorful. And if you don't have any idea yet what I'm saying, you should hover on the links, any link you could find here on my blog.... Done?? Well, I hope you enjoyed, because I certainly did. I don't know if I'm just being outdated or something, but I simply like it! It's novel to me...and I love novel discoveries and things

And, hey! I bought a new DVD this afternoon. It's Forrest Gump.

Yeah, it's not a new movie but, since I really love Tom Hanks and I haven't seen it before, I could not help myself. I bought the DVD on impulse talaga. And I watched the movie immediately and realized that my impulsiveness was worth it! It was a really good movie and I recommend it to those who haven't seen it and are planning to watch something worth the time. Well, the movie made me realize that life is not really about intelligence and stuff. It's not about having the highest IQ. Life is about doing things your own way and being the best of what you have and what you are.
And yeah, Life is like a box of chocolate... Wanna know why?.. You better watch Forrest Gump to find out

PS: I joined Ate Ai~'s contest! I hope you'll help me win this time, guys I badly need a domain. All you have to do is comment on her posts or something. You have to indicate that I referred you XD Please please!!! :) I put the button on my sidebar. You can click it if you want to know more XD Thank you so much!

Randomness yet again...

2009-04-14T20:45:00.025+08:00

It's good to know that there are a lot of things you could do at Plurk. Aside from the usual connecting-with-friends-or-acquaintances, there's the catching-information, some necessary bits and some just trivial.

And, just recently, Josua [we're not close though], plurked something about some of those 3D stuff. It looked almost real that I could only stare at it, wide-eyed with amazement... Well, a lot of thank-you to Joshua for sharing.

I was never really familiar with the things with Maya. My first encounter with it was through Gel, with this entry. So these are really new to me. And, man!! Those photos look like the ones you took with your handy cameras.. So damn good!!!!

You can also find more here... Amazing, ain't it?

That's not all! I also went through with that certain post's replies, and someone there shared another site, cracked.com. I found myself rummaging for something interesting. There were articles under the "More Funny Stuff" category that showcased the almost-unbelievable pieces...which I found fascinating and entirely entertaining. There were articles such as 15 Images You Won't Believe Aren't Photoshopped, If Everything In Life Came With Warning Labels, etc. But what really caught my attention was the one that stated something about Balut claiming the #1 spot that on The 6 Most Terrifying Foods in the World. [sikat na naman Pilipinas! ]

[Photo from the site itself.]

But would you agree with that? Kasi I eat balut and it sure tastes real great. It may look and sound terrifying to eat a duck fetus, but, man, balut would really prove the don't-judge-a-book-by-its-cover cliche right.

BTW, I watched Dragonball Evolution with Eugene, Mikyu and Jessa last Monday, the official start of summer classes. But, as always, the first few days of the first week would fall as the adjustment period, so no classes still.

As a kid, I had been an avid fan of the series. Though I was pissed off with GMA because they would always rewind the whole thing to the first episode even if the whole story wasn't finished yet. Like when Gohan already was a teenager on that night's episode, then the next day, he's back to being a kid. Oh well! GMA.. No offense, GMA fans! Ha ha ha! :) -->

Well, the movie was good. I wasn't satisfied, though, but I wasn't disappointed, either. I'm just looking forward to the next part because, apparently, it has one or even several of them. I'm not sure. Dragonball was one hell of a series. And it was a lengthy one.

hhhmmmm.... Justin Chatwin is an OH-MY-GOD-HE'S-ONE-HELL-OF-A-CUTIE dude

My Good Friday was spent in our town somewhere in the Leyte area [Matalom Leyte]. Well, partly. Because on the afternoon, Papa and I went back to Maasin City to attend the procession :) --> I was kinda glad because, for some reasons, I don't want to sleep in Matalom. Yeah, the place is so cozy. Maybe a little too much. The greeneries outside our house could almost blind you. Like everywhere you look at, there are trees, grasses and the like. It's not that I abhor those kind of stuffs. It's just that they're making everything cold. Or probably because our house there isn't finished yet.

Imagine, my bedroom is still like imaginary. Ha ha ha! I still don't have a bed and stuff! Well, I just hope our house will be finished sooner because I'm currently eyeing a bed that conforms with my description of cozy-enough. It doesn't cost so much, by the way. I think the price is just enough. Have a look...

It's one of the rustic furnitures I saw at scenicfurniture.com :) --> Yeah, I know! It's really cool. It really blends with the environment of Matalom. It's a province and it has a lot of trees. And this Rustic Log Bed is just about perfect, with its rugged-yet-elegant look. I'm gonna tell my mom about this great find. I'm sure she'll love this also. And I hope that as soon as possible, we'll finish the house na. The excitement is something I could hardly contain. Weeeeehh! :) -->

SUMMER!! XD Yeah, the beach-time, go-out-and-have-fun moments!!!
But I only have this week to enjoy the hassle-free "vacation" because, by next week, I'll be having summer classes already. I already added Thermodynamics and Strength of Materials in my subjects-to-take list. Actually, I'll take three but I'm still weighing my options on the third [and naghahanap pa 'ko ng kasama]. Well, I don't wanna go inside a room full of strangers noh! I don't usually talk to strangers eh, kasi I'm not good with the conversation-initiation stuff. So to be safe, I'm looking for a karamay

I also don't want to neglect my online activities kaya all subjects I enrolled sa morning lahat so that hindi masyado drain yung energy for the blogging stuff! I need to earn moolah also. Everyone wants it and I'm no different. My folks won't let me apply for a summer job kasi baka daw mapagod ako, mahirap na! Kaya I'll stick to blogging nalang.
And with that, I signed up at PayingPost.com. The blog advertising and stuff!

Actually, I already tried this before and I wondered why I didn't have a task for so long. And I realized that I haven't put the code on my site pala. *silly me* Another get-paid-to-post site. Haha.. I'm totally desperate!!!
And now that I put the code already, I got a task agad.. Bilis noh?!
I also love their layout. It's so eye-friendly. It's their new layout. *yay!*

Sunday, Sunday!!

2009-04-05T18:45:00.005+08:00

I'm in Leyte again [I was in Cebu yesterday.]
I arrived here at around 4 in the morning. It was really an exhausting trip kasi we had to sit lang talaga the whole 5 hours na byahe. It kinda drained my energy kaya my mind's not functioning really well ngayon Yeah, I looked so stale!!!

So I stayed at the sala and watched Project Runway on ETC. I kinda enjoyed it [see, how boring it is here? ] Well, for today's episode, though I think it was only a replay, the participants were tasked to make a dress that the fresh graduates could wear in their job interviews or something. And the one who won [I forgot the name, sorry], I think his work was indeed the best.
Moving on, after that show, I switched the channel to HBO. They were showing Definitely, Maybe. It was a cool movie, although I wasn't able to see it from the start. Well, another love story! And I fell like having a movie marathon again via cable. ha ha ha!

And in the afternoon, Papa decided to eat out. Weeeeeehh! Merienda time We only have Jollibee here, so no choice. Sana nga next time may McDo na, or KFC or kahit ano. Kasi I'm getting bored with Jobee eh.
Ha ha ha! So I went to Jollibee with my folks and they even brought along my nephew. ha ha! that little kid... And I was camwhoring again. Sinali ko pa yung bata.. Here...

ayun! I really love the 4th picture He really asked me to have him photographed. Nakakawang bata.. Moody nga lang!

And to all CBS people, thank you so much for the warmest welcome!

Weeeeeeeh! I'm an official member na I enjoyed the meeting. I never thought it was that... BIG TIME!!! I thought kasi halos teenagers lahat. Ha ha ha! And, for the record, that was my first time in IT Park [Cebu]. Kaya maraming, maraming Thank You ulit

Cars! Cars! Wow...

2009-04-05T07:45:00.000+08:00

Cars had somewhat become a necessity for today's generation. Not only it ensures safety from snatchers and the scorching heat of the sun [with the aircon], it also gives us the convenience of having to travel from place to place.
So nowadays, people are rally looking for cars, or even used cars. And I found this site that helps us find good cars, the Buy Your Car. It also provides individual car reviews which might help people in choosing what to buy.

I browsed the site and this is what I found.

BMW 3 Series 330i M Sport Convertible. I like BMW. It's simple yet elegant. But when you ask me my all-time favorite car, hmmmm... Nothing could beat this one...

It's a Lamborghini. The first time aI saw this, I was like WOW!.. I really hope that one day I will be able to find it in Buy Your Car.
Well, there's a lot you can do in buyyourcar.co.uk. You will find there new cars, used cars and the things about cars [any brand]. It's pretty amazing, especially when you're planning to buy one. You can even advertise your car or something, if you wanna sell it.
Ha ha! It's a good thing I found this site. I might tell my auntie to check this out. She's in UK and she might also find this interesting.

Sorry for not updating regularly, guys. :(
You see, I'm in my hometown, Southern Leyte, for the week. And our laptop here broke or something. Basta it's not working. So I have to go to the nearest internet cafe to conform with this addiction.. hell yeah, surfing.. the net XD [good thing, nasa tabi lang ng bahay namin yung cafe!!]

SO ayun! It's totally boring here, which makes me miss school SO MUCH!! Our enrollment for the Summer classes will be on the 4th of the next month, and that would translate to NEXT WEEK [or considered THIS WEEK na ba yun?] Basta, April 4!! [well, that was the date on the bulletin, i just hope it's true!] Yeah, I'm super excited na
I don't loathe this place naman. It's just that, wala talaga magawa. Like all I have to do is sleep-eat-sleep-tv-eat....blah2x!! Good thing, I brought a lot of books here. I mean, 6 books. That's a lot naman, right?? Here....

Sea Swept, Rising Tides, Inner Harbor and Chesapeake Blue are the books that consist the Chesapeake Bay Saga. I haven't started reading eh! Siguro bukas na.. He he he! I think those are really good books XD maganda kasi yung synopsis or something like that. And favorite books yan ng isang kong bookworm friend. So those must be really good! Tested and Proven na kasi, eh XD oh well! :) And that Romeo and Juliet, that was the one I bought online. ha ha ha! I don't know bakit ko binili yan. I was just curious!... The Deception Point naman, I just borrowed it from my classmate XD
So ayun, good luck to me

Also, binilhan ako ni mama ng tatlong sketch books yesterday!!.. yes yes, tatlo talaga!! Ewan ko kung bakit tatlo... hahaha.. So ayun, self-image talaga una ko ginawa.. Sabi nila maganda daw.. Hmmmm.. May potential XD ha ha ha!!!

And dun sa nag-text at nagtanong if I'm in Cebu right now.. No, I'm not in Cebu! But I wish I am

To end this post, share ko lang! One of my friends texted me ngayon lang talaga.. Here it goes:

Trivia:

Did you know that in England in the 19th century...

Calling for help :(

2009-03-24T20:34:00.012+08:00

How would you feel if one morning someone would just wake you up to tell that one of your friends [say, one of your close friends] is fighting for his life??

It was only a text message that I received but it was purely devastating.... Actually, four people sent me the same message.. and here it is.....

FRIENDS:
Ney really needs our prayers right now..
You know he had bone cancer in High School, right?
Now, the cancer is attacking his lungs, and according to the doctor, it's FAST spreading :(
The doctor said that if not for his very young age, he wouldn't advise chemotherapy anymore because the cancer is really spreading rapidly..
Now, NEY has just finished his first chemo session..
He's really weak right now but he's fighting!!

DO WHAT YOU CAN--
you know he's been a good friend to you..
if you don't, ask one of his friends and s/he will tell you how NEY DOESN'T DESERVE this..

Let's pray for NEY's complete healing..
EVERYDAY at 6pm..
Surely, that Somebody up there will hear our joint hearts..

PLEASE pass to Josephinians, Maasinhons and everyone who's willing to help..
thanks :)

So what do you think I did feel after reading this?... Go figure...

Well, Ney Floren Cadavos, or more commonly known as Ney, was my classmate in high school and he's a friendly person. He smiles a lot and he's fun to be with. He was an athlete...and a very good one, so to speak. He was one of the best badminton players in our time and it hurts to know that he can't play anymore because, as what was stated in the message, he had that freakin' bone cancer which impede him to play. Plus, one of his legs was cut so that the cancer cells wouldn't spread to his other body parts. It was super duper sad...

He was also an excellent student. But, then again, the cancer made him stop schooling for a while. He continued high school two years after the incident.. You see, he is a fighter.. God must be testing his strength.. Yeah, He must have loved Ney so much.

And now, on Ney's new battle, I'm asking you to help us pray for him. It's the most we could do right now....

Ask and it will be given to you; Seek and you will find; Knock and it will opened for you. For the one who asks receives, and the one who searches finds, and to him who knocks the door will be opened. -Luke 11:9-10

-------------------------

I would also like to thank Ate Rhoda for this.... I feel like crying everytime I read it. Thank you so much. I know you understand why I'm feeling this way... You are the best sister any one could ever hope for. And I love you so much for that... See you after summer. I'm super excited for baby Izzy

Moving :)

2009-03-24T17:45:00.000+08:00

Well, anyone here who remembered Bella Swan from Twilight? Ha ha ha! Before you get the wrong idea, this post isn't about her. I just remembered that, according to the book, she lived in Phoenix Arizona before she moved to Forks, right?

Yeah, Arizona is a sunny place. It's like here in the Phiilippines. So if I move there, in terms of the weather condition, there won't be a lot of adjustments to do, right, earthlings? I'll just need a little help from SFP to find a nice place to stay. I might also visit the Grand Canyon National Park. ha ha ha! oh well...

I'm getting curious with Phoenix, by the way. Yeah, I was a fan of Twilight and it was mentioned how sunny it was there. I don't know why but, somehow, I want to escape this place and move somewhere else...like, abroad. *Silly me!* But it must be somewhere sunny, like here. Sometimes I hate the cold because I easily get colds. :) You know, the sneezing part is so frustrating.

Yeah, Arizona's part of my move-to list now :)

Congratulations :D

2009-03-21T19:38:00.002+08:00

I just want to congratulate my dear cousin, Mary Glee Segun for being a Magna Cum Laude

She was an Accountancy student from the University of San Carlos and she graduated yesterday. Well, the full five years was indeed a fruitful journey for her.

But I was not able to attend her graduation because we, D' Hacienderas, were at Leslie's the whole day yesterday doing our company study report or something of that sort... Another thing, maximum of two persons lang yung required na mag-attend.. hahaha, correct me if I'm wrong

So I only texted Ate Glee yesterday because I never really thought that I could come to their house or somewhere... And I was not invited, in the first place!! hahahaha..

But at 6pm, while I was on my way to my boarding house, she suddenly called me. She told me to go to the Grand Majestic for dinner... *there, I'm officially invited na!* ... I was excited since, for the record, it would be my first time at the Grand Majestic, hahahaha *silly*....but I was panicking also because she said that almost everyone was there already and I haven't changed my clothes yet. I was still riding on a jeepney for god's sake. I don't want to be the super late to arrive so I was practically running to my boarding house when I reached Talamban. I was on rush that I didn't even picked the right outfit, *I think!* I wore the same polo as the one on my previous post, the one I bought at multiply, coupled with a pair of jeans and sandals

I was expecting that everyone wore formal attires. But when I arrived there, *boo!*, I was not an odd-woman-out after all. Actally, almost everyone nga was wearing jeans Well, that's a good thing, thank God!

I also realized that I was not the one with the super-duper-late award. It was given to Ate Glee's boyfie who arrived at around 8pm. Oh well!! XD What can I say?.. God spared me from shame again..

Hahahaha.. I really had a great time last night. Plus, the tummy was soooo full that I could not almost breathe. What with all those grubs, though I remembered only ten, whose tummy would not burst?!?

Also, yesterday was also the first time my cousins had seen me wearing my eye glasses. They said it suits me well. [gonna share the photos nalang next time] Ha ha ha! *vain much?* Well, I don't really think it's something to revel about because they only emphasized how near-sightedness and astigmastism suit me very well

Ha ha ha! it's okay. I'll look at the brighter side of wearing glasses nalang XP *and me not telling* XP Weeeeeehhh!

weeeehh! a new domain for summer?!?

2009-03-21T15:12:00.000+08:00

So here, the purpose of this post is, let's say crucial.. ha ha!

Seriously, I'm planning of buying a domain, probably this summer, and I'm still weighing my options here. I'm still thinking of the domain name and, of course, I'm looking for a new web hosting service that's really worth the price. Good thing I found this webhostingrating.com that, obviously from the name itself, provides customer ratings of top ten web hosting companies.

To those who are planning of buying a new domain or looking for a new web hosting service, thank me for sharing this. ha ha! Just kidding, guys! :) Well, according to this site, Just Host holds the Rank 1. It's got unlimited space as well. SO what do you, guys, think? :)

WebHostingRating.com also listed the Best Web Hosting Awards as of March 2009 in various categories. :) Globat.com was voted as the Best Blog Hosting.. hmmmm.. Now, it's really making me think *confused* Well, there are still a lot to consider here.

So what do you think, bloggers? Which is which? :)

See, I told you it's crucial *wink*

Looking for the best credit cards :)

2009-03-21T13:30:00.001+08:00

Credit cards are like a must-have nowadays.. haha, wanna bet?!?

Seriously, it's a must-have especially to those who love to shop since it's much safer than bringing cold cash, eh?!? But finding the right credit card could be confusing, right? Especially when you have to deal with those privileges and stuff. You want to avail of those that offers low interest rates. Well, low interest credit cards are so light to bear. We have less worries.

And for me, since I don't have a credit card yet, I'm thankful that I found this dealsforcreditcards.com. It's really helpful, guys. You see, this site makes credit card comparisons making it easy for us to choose. You can search various brands here, including Mastercard, Visa, American Express, etc.

Dealsforcreditcards.com even have this Editor's Choice for Low Interest, Editor's Choice for Instant Approval, et cetera. :)

For now, I'm still weighing my options. I'm thinking about Mastercard, but I also likeVisa. It's somehow promising. You see, my friends are using Visa and I'm also inspired by it's commercials over the television. ha ha! *silly me*

So here, I'm gonna browse the site muna for additional information :)

Okay to Free Dating!?!

2009-03-19T20:10:00.006+08:00

Hey guys! I'm back here.. I really miss the online world. I've been out for three days, I think. You know, with all those exams for the finals, un-wavered effort was badly needed. And now that almost everything's finished, I'm here again. Almost because we still have this sort-of company study for our Methods Laboratory. But I'm gonna crash here for hours first to kill this boredom XD

I was browsing some sites a couple of minutes ago and stumbled on this online dating one. Actually, I'm not really a fan of this free dating stuff online because I believe that proximity is one thing that builds a relationship. Hahaha! Yeah, I learned that way back God knows when, even before I took Psychology this semester. LOL.. But that subject really helped a lot.

So with this online dating, I'm not one for it though, but some of my cousins are that they even stay up late at night just to chat with their new found "friends". Sometimes I don't understand them but I couldn't care less about it anyway :)

And thinking about them and the site that I found, I think it's a perfect match :D Gonna tell them na. I know they would love it. It's something like a social networking site, only it's more for single women and single men :) You can also try it if your into this kind of stuff :)

And it's easy to navigate. There's a quick search located at the right side bar and you just input your gender, age range along with the religion, country and location, depending on your level of preference :) Amazing enough! :) It's like customizing a bracelet, ain't it?!

So this would be all for now :) gonna bloghop muna XD take care guys :D

Emotions and Awards <3

2009-03-14T21:27:00.000+08:00

***Warning: This is a non-sense post, or I don't know. I just want to let this thing off my chest...

So there! Last Thursday was a total emotion-whirlwind day!

By morning - excited, because we were going to celebrate Shalee's 20th birthday.

Before noon - busy mode.. Preparing for the stuffs that we would use (balloons, costumes, etc.).

Noon - high-spirited.. PAAARRRTTTTYYYY!!! (It was a kiddie so we were dressed accordingly!) We played PaperDance, Hep-hep-hurray (like the one we see in the noon-time show, Wowowee.), Egg-Catching (I don't know the actual name for that game. Basta it was played with a partner and the every successful catch would mean another step backward. My partner here was Mikyu. And we won!!! Lastly, we had the Charade. We didn't win here but it was all fun nevertheless XD
- Afternoon - Anxious for the oral exam in Psychology..
- 4:30pm - Dumb-founded. When the teacher called me, I was dumbstruck! My mind went blank. Maybe I lost focus because I was thinking something else before she mentioned my name. So I stood there looking so STUPID!!! Only to realize, after I took my seat, that the question was only a matter of reality which was so easy. And I felt stupid even more.
- Night - Mixed Emotions
***I would also like to thank Jessa for giving me these awards XD She's so great :)

Another boring Sunday.....

2009-03-08T18:45:00.002+08:00

It suddenly came to me that my blog looked a little stale. So I decided to change the layout :) It's a simple lang kasi super tamad talaga akong pagandahin 'to.... I applied the layout yesterday and ngayon ko lang in-alter yung mga colors and stuff :)

Well, it's a Sunday, which translates that it's a NO-CLASS day and it's boring. My only consolation ngayon is the internet. Kaya I'm here in front of the PC and browsing some stuff over multiply. Hhhhmmm... I'm thinking of buying something again The last thing I purchased there was a plaid polo and it arrived last Wednesday, I think. And I used it agad in our Mechanical/Industrial Engineering Research Forum last Friday Nakakatuwa kami kasi polo yung trip.. Here...

Me, Mikyu, Shalee & Leslie

Wala dito sa pic yung iba kasi hindi sila nag-polo

Ayun, the forum was fun. Kaya lang may boring parts. Probably because walang nag-isip ng mga intermission and stuff para naman somehow, ma-energize kami. And the way they distributed the snacks, it's not systematic. And to think it was an IE forum, talagang nakaka-annoy! Akalain mo namang iba yung line for the food, iba rin yung sa drinks

And yeah, before I forget :) Thank you to Janile I really appreciate her gift. She's so thoughtful

So, 'til here na lang muna. I'm gonna work on something else pa eh! School stuffs, if you would ask. Talagang nakakapagod. Haaaaaaaayyy! Sorry, guys, if I wasn't able to bloghop for a couple of days, sobrang busy talaga eh... Hayaan nyo, after nito lahat, go go go na talaga

Belated Happy Birthday to me :)

2009-02-28T23:48:00.000+08:00

My actual birthday was last February 26 and I was supposed to post something that day but was not able to do so due to some misunderstandings and stuff. So that was a total emotion-whirlwind. Parang halo-halo yung saya, lungkot at kung anu-ano pa....

So ngayon I'm officially 19. Sabi nila hanggang 18 lang daw yung teenage life, but I think hindi. I don't even feel mature Bahala na sila, basta I'm feeling young parin... XP

Nothing really happened sa actual birthday ko. As usual, I was late sa 1st subject, Strength of Materials. It was a seven-thirty class and I could not bring myself to get off my bed. Kahit ang ingay-ingay na nung alarm clock, hindi parin ako nagising Ayun, I'm the laziest person I know talaga.
So after that class, we immediately headed to the internet cafe to make our Psych assignment which was due at 4:30 that afternoon. My monitor kasi sa boarding house sira kaya I was not able to encode it the previous night.

We learned na wala pala kami pasok sa Methods Lab kaya next class namin 4:30pm na, General Psychology. The best and most embarassing part of the day happened there. Embarassing kasi the whole class sang a Happy Birthday song for me. Nakakahiya pero nakakatuwa at the same time. Parang High School ulit
Ayun, nakalimutan ko na yung nangyari after that... Medyo hindi kasi nag-register sa utak ko yung iba.. hehehe

..February 27, 2009..
So that was yesterday and I celebrated my birthday sa araw na 'yan. Sadly wala akong cam kaya I grabbed some photos nalang @ Mikyu's multiply account Thanx kyu!
1st stop - TY2JY internet cafe, in front of USC-TC exit B (meeting place, actually)

3rd stop - Rustle Angels. They got some cute stuffed toys and funny items. hahaha...

What a day

2009-02-24T00:13:00.001+08:00

I'm planning to blog something about the highlights of the past week but I can't think of a way to start.
Suddenly I was sort of sidetracked and I wanted to write something else. Arrrrrrggggghh! My mind is in a whirlwind right now. I can't think straight. Today is one of those aimee-is-indecisive days, maybe because of what happened this afternoon. I can't tell you the details yet. But, really, it ruined my day.... Tsk tsk tsk...

So to lighten up my day a bit, I decided to indulge myself in the net world. True enough, I'm starting to feel a little glad. I visited Paulo Coelho's blog and this is what I got....

A journey is an adventure. Henry Miller said that it is far more important to discover a church no one has heard of, than go to Rome and feel obliged to visit the Sistine Chapel, with two hundred thousand tourists shouting all around you. Go to the Sistine Chapel, but also get lost in the streets, wander down alleyways, feel free to look for something, without knowing what it is. I swear you will find it and that it will change your life.

Somehow, it inspired me. Life is an adventure and it's all about exploring things, places, and stuff. Life is, in other words, widening our horizon

So now that I'm feeling a little uplifted, I wanted to share this photos that I got from mikyu and ainee's multiply account This was during our IP Tour last Saturday

1st stop: Paul Yu Philippines Corporation.... [ako sa right, si Mikyu sa left]

2nd stop: Shemberg... kahit pinagalitan kami dito, okay parin

3rd stop: Danao Paper Mill

4th stop: Danao Sugar Mill...

I was one of the organizers for this IP Tour and it feels so great that after everything, it's all worth it...kahit medyo nagkabuhol-buhol ng kunti Thank you, guys!

And to our mentors, Sir Ritche and Sir Donn, ang saya-saya talaga.

And to my dear Hacienderas, that was another frozen moment. I'm glad I had to share it with you, guys! Everything was woth a king's ransom, or perhaps even more

See more at mikyu's multiply malulula kayo sa dami ng pictures

Security is a Must

2009-02-22T14:52:00.002+08:00

I used to ask my friend about sone stuff with regards to internet security and blah-blah-blah... She sort of mention something about a proxy site would help, or a vpn.. i was not really acquainted with that before and i got curious XD

So i learned that....

VPN allows us to access a network via an IP address different from the one that connects our computers to the internet

So there, I decided to try it and search about it further. Waaaaaah! I learned, really. Before, I had problems with those viruses you get through the internet. And isn't it annoying? Well, it's super annoying, and it get's to the bones, really. So I found here the World Secure Channel or WSC. Hhhhhmmm.. I'm giving it a try since they have this Malware and Viruses Protection. Perfect! Here are some of themalware sites that they have blocked... Bountiful!

You can also try it for yourself

I hope you also learned something.. weeeeehhh! :D

Valentine's Day ♥

2009-02-14T22:37:00.002+08:00

First of all, Happy Valentine's Day everyone :)
I was looking for images over the internet to match this day and this is the simplest i could get....

Well, today is, as they call it, a Hearts' Day.. Big deal!!!
There was nothing out-of-the-usual happened this day, except that Eugene gave me flowers. Five roses to be particular. :) Last year, he also gave me three, i think. And the prettiest rose was the one I kept and placed between the pages of my Geometry book. And if you'll ask why Geometry, I don't have any idea. Probably because it was the thickest book I had that time... hahaha... Now, I'm wondering where I should place these five luscious red roses... hhhmmmmm... hhhmmmm... :)

Another thing, I went to Super Metro Mandaue this afternoon to get my newly-purchased book, Rising Tides by Nora Roberts, from Rachelle (click on the name to see more for-sale books on her multiply account) It was raining and the jeepney Eugene and I rode into did not stop in the exact spot for the entrance so we were somewhat caught under the rain for a little while. So now I'm blaming it for my stubborn colds, that turned into the most annoying runny nose that caused my eyes to go teary... Well, there's nothing else to blame, right?

Okay, enough of today's downside.. I just want to tell the world that soon my sister's going to give birth to her first bouncing baby boy or girl We don't know the baby's gender yet. And I'm head-over-heels excited about my first pamangkin. Weeeeeehhh! Congratz to my sister and her beloved hubby, Kuya Loren

...in her fifth month of pregnancy (don't mind the painting above.. hahaha)... They say we look exactly alike.. So now, you judge

Also, a countless thanks to mikyu for making my day yesterday It was priceless!!!

Waaaahhhhhh! Don't know how to end this.. I'll share the news nalang that almost shook my day [i read this from Cristy's plurk]

Baby-faced Alfie, who is 13 but looks more like eight, became a father four days ago when his girlfriend Chantelle Steadman gave birth to 7lb 3oz Maisie Roxanne.....

Click here for more info...

So there.. again, Happy Valentine's Day everyone

movies haven :D

2009-02-04T22:17:00.068+08:00

I am a movie lover. I guess almost everyone is, right?!?
And there's this one movie that I still haven't seen. I heard this from my high school friend, Ladie.
I really got interested with this thing. I don't know why. She just told me the plot and that Ryan Philippe was one of the casts. whoah! He's just so handsome that I can only stare at him.

Anyways, I've been searching for this movie everywhere. But, since this movie was so yesterday already, I haven't found a copy. So I decided to search for it online. And ahhhhhhhhh!! I found it! I found it! After 40 years of searching, even through the net. Actually, I found a link before but it was not the full thing and I did not want to settle for the incomplete one, with the part 1, part 2, and so on. It just so lame.
But now I found it already, and the full movie... weeeeehhhh! I'm just so happy... Thanks to Movies Planet.

Now I can watch movies with less hassles. And their videos are so clear.. hahaha
And since we're friends, I wanna share this movie to you all. This is one on my A-Lists!!! XD XD XD

You can even change your layout, by the way. You can view my profile here. But it's still under construction since I only joined yesterday, so please bear with me. :D
I'm loving this site since searching for my favorite videos is just a click away.

And to those who love watching tv series here, it's also a perfect site.
Stay updated with the current shows and stuff :D

Here are some of the things you can do in movies planet:

Why We Love Men

2009-02-02T23:02:00.000+08:00

We love men because they never understand us, but they never give up.

Because they can see beauty in women when women have long ceased to see any beauty in themselves.

Because they come from little boys.

Because they can churn out long, intricate, Machiavellian, or incredibly complex mathematics and physics equations, but they can be comparably clueless when it comes to women.

Because they are incredible lovers and never rest until we’re happy.

Because they elevate sports to religion.

Because they’re never afraid of the dark.

Because they don’t care how they look or if they age.

Because they persevere in making and repairing things beyond their abilities, with the naïve self-assurance of the teenage boy who knew everything.

Because they never wear or dream of wearing high heels.

Because they’re afraid to go bald.

Because you always know what they think and they always mean what they say.

Because their biggest fear is not being a man, and for this, they need to go away from time to time.

Because they love machines, tools, and implements with the same ferocity women love jewelry.

Because they go to great lengths to hide, unsuccessfully, that they are frail and human.

Because they either speak too much or not at all to that end.

Because they always finish the food on their plat.

Because they are brave in front of insects and mice.

Because a well-spoken four-year old girl can reduce them to silence, and a beautiful 25-year old can reduce them to slobbering idiots.

Because they want to be either omnivorous or ascetic, warriors or lovers, artists or generals, but nothing in-between.

Because for them there’s no such thing as too much adrenaline.

Because when all is said and done, they can’t live without us, no matter how hard they try.

Because they’re truly as simple as they claim to be.

Because they love extremes and when they go to extremes, we’re there to catch them.

Because they’ve got that comfortable place on their shoulder that’s perfect for snuggling into while we fall asleep.

Because they are tender they when they cry, and how seldom they do it.

Because what they lack in talk, they tend to make up for in action.

Because they make excellent companions when driving through rough neighborhoods or walking past dark alleys.

Because they really love their moms, and they remind us of our dads.

Because they never care what their horoscope, their mother-in-law, nor the neighbors say.

Because they rarely lie about their age, their weight, or their clothing size.

Because they give great hugs, ( and always melt our hearts when a sweet “I love you” is added)

Because they have an uncanny ability to look deeply into our eyes and connect with our heart, even when we don’t want them to.

By: Paulo Coelho

~Women love men beacuse a woman’s tears make a man want to change the world so that it doesn’t hurt her anymore. Yet regardless if you love them, hate them, wish they would die or know that you would die without them the reason matters not. Because once in your life, whatever they were to the world they become everything to you.
When you look them in the eyes, traveling to the depths of their souls and you say a million things without trace of a sound, you know that your own life is inevitably consumed within the rhythmic beatings of her very heart. We love them for a million reasons. No poem or song would do justice.
It is a thing not of the mind but of the heart.
A feeling. Only felt.

Reality Bites

2009-02-01T14:16:00.004+08:00

This post is for people out there who suffered the same fate as mine... hahaha.. But i was off that track a long time ago and realized for myself that life has to move on. I hope this thing would bring awareness to some who took delight over petty fantasies. XD

I know it hurts to no longer be loved by the one you love. I know it hurts to no longer be wanted by the one who use to worship the ground you walked upon. I know it hurts to be dumped by the one who used to follow you like a lovesick puppy around town.
But denial will not help you get through this crisis in your life.
It is difficult to accept that you are no longer wanted, that you are no longer thought of, that you are no longer missed. It’s easier to fool yourself into thinking that he still thinks of you day and night, that he busies himself daily, devising strategies to bring you and that only his pride is stopping him from holding you in his arms.
But please wake up!
Misinterpreting his words and actions, concocting wild theories about why he still hasn’t picked up the phone to call you, closing your eyes to the fact that he is already seeing someone else, won’t bring him back.
It hurts, I know, but it’s time to face the truth: He no longer loves you.
It’s over. It was over long before it ended. And you knew it, but you pretended. And so did he. But the time for pretense is long gone past. It’s time to face up to the cold, hard facts. It’s time to start picking up the pieces of your life. It’s time to stop lying to yourself.
So stop making ridiculous excuses to pick up the phone to call him. Stop driving by his place in hopes that you may accidentally catch a glimpse of him. You’re torturing yourself. And stop saying, “I just want to be his friend.”
You don’t want to be his friend. You would have already been his friend long time ago, the day you officially parted, in fact. But care to take a guess why he still avoids you like plague?
It’s because you’re not very convincing! If you wanted to be his friend, you would leave him alone. You would stop monitoring his movements. You would stop tracking him around town. These are not exactly the overtures of a concerned friend plotting a romantic unification.
You really want to be his friend? As a gesture of good faith, give the guy some breathing space. Stop lurking around his neighborhood. Stop interrogating his friends. Stop offering yourself as a Valentine, birthday, or Christmas present. It’s over. He’s not coming back. Or haven’t you realized it yet?
Hope springs eternal. I know it till the he asks for God’s blessing and takes a bride. And it’s your prerogative to wait for him, forever if you desire.
But why do this to yourself?
Why subject yourself to such indignities? Why continue to hanker for a man who couldn’t care less if you were dead or alive? Do you think so little of yourself? Why live for morsels of affection thrown your way when you could find love in its splendor with another man?
There’s a whole universe of unattached men out there who could love you much better than he. Let this one go. You deserve to love and be loved again. But this one cannot happen till the day you let go of the past and live in the present.
Fantasy delights, I know. And reality bites.
But it’s time to wake up. You’ve been dreaming too long.

OMG! Charlie Green ♥ (and Dragonball Evolution)

2009-01-20T19:37:00.001+08:00

We, Filipinos, are greatly known for the many talents that we possess [charing!! totoo naman, dbah?]. Well, say, singers. Who wouldn't know Lea Salonga? Nicole Scherzinger of "The Pussycat Dolls"? etc.. etc..
and, oh yeah, Charice Pempengco... But I don't like her that much. I don't know why. Maybe [i think lang ha] she has the tendency to be conceited. Not that she doesn't have the right to be one, but....hhhmmmm.. I just don't like her, period..... :D

Anyways... uhm, Charlie Green!!! ring a bell?? [i bet almost everyone knows him already, right?]
Well, for those who know nothing about him, Charlie Green is the British-Filipino kid who wowed audiences of Britain’s Got Talent when he sang “Summer Wind”. He had everyone swaying to the music, and got such a merry standing ovation when he was done.
But Simon Cowell, one of the judges of The American Idol, made everything GREAT!!. His words rang sweetest, "Charlie, you are fantastic!!.." and something like, "Charlie, I think you're a little star. I REALLY, REALLY like you!"
And to fully appreciate this boy wonder that amazed me, here is Charlie with Summer Wind....

Random Topic-ing again, i wanna share this trailer. Dragonball Evolution. hahaha.. I so love the caricature version of dragon ball, so i might also love the movie, directed by James Wong (Final Destination 3).
Click here for the overview of the movie :D

"First Love"

2009-01-16T22:19:00.000+08:00

I so love this McDo commercial. Somehow heart-breaking, and it surely pulled my heart strings...

From "The Notebook" by Nicholas Sparks

2009-01-11T14:11:00.004+08:00

I was reading The Notebook before I came face-to-face with this computer screen. It touched my heart in every way possible. I'd watched the movie before I got the chance to read it, so maybe that made me appreciate the movie even more.

And as I was reading the book, I went through the sappy moments again. Not the way I had while reading the last parts of "My Sister's Keeper" by Jodi Picoult, but in the romantically-sappy way.

So I want to share these two parts that made made the trick and made me cry.

This was the note Noah gave Allie right before she left. She wondered how she could ever be happy again. And instead of answering, he pressed the note into her hands, which she read on her way home.

The reason it hurts so much to separate is because our souls are connected. Maybe they always have been and will be. Maybe we've lived a thousand lives before this one and in each of them we've found each other. And maybe each time, we've been forced apart for the same reasons. That means that this good-bye is both a goodbye for the past ten thousand years and a prelude to what will come.When I look at you, I see your beauty and grace and know they have grown stronger with every life you have lived. And I know I have spent every life before this one searching for you. Not someone like you, but you, for your soul and mine must always come together. And then, for a reason neither of us understands, we've been forced to say good-bye. I would love to tell you that everything will work out for us, and I promise to do all I can to make sure it does.
But if we never meet again and this is truly good-bye, I know we will see each other again in another life. We will find each other again, and maybe the stars will have changed, and we will not only love each other in that time, but for all the times we've had before.

Another one is the letter from Allie...

Dear Noah,
I write this letter by candlelight as you lie sleeping in the bedroom we have shared since the day we were married. And though I can't hear the soft sounds of your slumber, I know you are there, and soon I will be lying next to you again as I always have. And I will feel your warmth and your comfort, and your breaths will slowly guide me to the place where I dream of you and the wonderful man you are. I see the flame beside me and it reminds me of another fire from decades ago, with me in your soft clothes and you in your jeans. I knew then we would always be together, even though I wavered the following day. My heart had been captured, roped by a southern poet, and I knew inside that it had always been yours. Who was I to question a love that rode on shooting stars and roared like crashing waves? For that is what it was between us then and that is what it is today. I remember coming back to you the next day, the day my mother visited. I was so scared, more scared than I had ever been because I was sure you would never forgive me for leaving you. I was shaking as I got out of the car, but you took it all away with your smile and the way you held your hand out to me. "How 'bout some coffee," was all you said. And you never brought it up again. In all our years together. Nor did you question me when I would leave and walk alone the next few days. And when I came in with tears in my eyes, you always knew whether I needed you to hold me or to just let me be. I don't know how you knew, but you did, and you made it easier for me. Later when we went to the small chapel and traded our rings and made our vows, I looked in your eyes and knew I had made the right decision. But more than that, I knew I was foolish for ever considering someone else. I have never wavered since.

We had a wonderful life together, and I think about it a lot now. I close my eyes sometimes and see you with speckles of gray in your hair, sitting on the porch and playing your guitar while little ones play and clap to the music you create. Your clothes are stained from hours of work and you are tired, and though I offer you time to relax, you smile and say, "That's what I am doing now." I find your love for our children very sensual and exciting. "You're a better father than you know," I tell you later, after the children are sleeping. Soon after, we peel off our clothes and kiss each other and almost lose ourselves before we are able to slip between the flannel sheets.
I love you for many things, especially your passions, for they have always been those things which are most beautiful in life. Love and poetry and fatherhood and friendship and beauty and nature. And I am glad you have taught the children these things, for I know their lives are better for it. They tell me how special you are to them, and every time they do, it makes me feel like the luckiest woman alive.

You have taught me as well, and inspired me, and supported me in my painting, and you will never know how much it has meant to me. My works hang in museums and private collections now, and though there have been times when I was frazzled and distracted because of shows and critics, you were always there with kind words, encouraging me. You understood my need for my own studio, my own space, and saw beyond the paint on my clothes and in my hair and sometimes on the furniture. I know it was not easy. It takes a man to do that, Noah, to live with something like that. And you have.

For forty-five years now. Wonderful years. You are my best friend as well as my lover, and I do not know which side of you I enjoy the most. I treasure each side, just as I have treasured our life together.

You have something inside you, Noah, something beautiful and strong. Kindness, that's what I see when I look at you now, that's what everyone sees. Kindness. You are the most forgiving and peaceful man I know. God is with you, He must be, for you are the closest thing to an angel that I've ever met.

I know you thought me crazy for making us write our story before we finally leave our home, but I have my reasons and I thank you for your patience. And though you asked, I never told you why, but now I think it is time you knew.We have lived a lifetime most couples never know, and yet, when I look at you, I am frightened by the knowledge that all this will be ending soon. For we both know my prognosis and what it will mean to us. I see your tears and I worry more about you than I do about me, because I fear the pain I know you will go through. There are no words to express my sorrow for this, and I am at a loss for words.

So I love you so deeply, so incredibly much, that I will find a way to come back to you despite my disease, I promise you that. And this is where the story comes in. When I am lost and lonely, read this story--just as you told it to the children--and know that in some way, I will realize it about us. And perhaps, just perhaps, we will find a way to be together again.
Please don't be angry with me on days I do not remember you, and we both know they will come. Know that I love you, that I always will, and that no matter what happens, know I have led the greatest life possible. My life with you.

And if you save this letter to read again, then believe what I am writing for you now. Noah, wherever you are and whenever this is, I love you. I love you now as I write this, and I love you now as you read this. And I am so sorry if I am not able to tell you. I love you deeply, my husband. You are, and always have been, my dream.

Allie

... It made me wanna cry again :(

Caught in the middle...

2009-01-04T17:54:00.001+08:00

Well, the title says it all. It's my cousin and her boyfriend, or should I say, ex-boyfriend. SHE's my close cousin and HE turned to be close friend as well. So here's the story... [i'll use HE and SHE, for confidentiality's sake]

HE and SHE were together for over six years already. SHE was only 17 when they started dating. And now, she's already 23. So you could say that she grew up with him and the bond would suppose to be like "unbreakable." But the we-really-have-no-control-over-things got in the way and the unexpected happened. Actually, it's just recently. I think, before Christmas eve or sometime before Christmas. And who would not be shocked? HE was already like a family to us.

SHE said that there was this person who kept on texting her claiming that he was Arnel or Ariel something, that they were old colleagues. It annoyed her, SHE told me.

And to make things worse, last month, on that "sometime before Christmas", HE had sent a message to her or rather missent a message. [No need to state it!]...And that's how SHE started to feel something dubious. And that's when that Arnel or Ariel, the hell that he was, claimed to be a girl and she's HE's girlfriend, that they're together of almost two years already...
Well, well, the usual confrontations happened. And HE admitted it true somehow. [well, i've always known him as an honest being.]........ They broke up after that! [that easy because it's kind of a long-distance affair. HE's in working in Qatar for over a year now.]
I'm SHE's cousin, so you could guess how I reacted.

BUT, but, but.... I got the chance to talk to HIM. I asked him how things went wrong, what part of their relationship was wrong that it compelled him to have a "spare-fling" and so on.... And then HE told me that he was always loyal to her before. It even came to a point that he was like worshipping the ground she walked upon. And after work, he went to her house just so they could be together and to prove that she's the only one. But she keeps on complaining. She's so jealous. Even with us, her cousins. Whenever we got close to him she went green-eyed. For all those years that they were together, she hadn't really trusted him. Time came that HE became so fed up with her, with the complains, the jealousy, the lack of trust, et cetera...So that's when he started with his spare fling...

So, there. They're both close to me and really, I'm not mad at him or something.
They're both wrong, right?!?! And I'm not on anybody's side..
I just don't think that my cousins will understand that I sort of pity him. He's such a good person and all. And now he's taking all the blame. He's tells his family, whenever they ask how it happened, that it's all his fault... Well, if I were in his shoes, I would do the same. Everybody blames him. Might as well give them the benefit of the doubt, eh? Anyway, no one would listen if he explains his side now since my cousin looks so....pitiful. Well, she's a girl. And girls are supposed to look that way after such a break-up. hahaha..

Well, what do you think?

December Highlight XD

2008-12-30T23:59:00.001+08:00

Well.. December!! What can I say? December is the most eventful month of the year, I suppose. We have this Christmas day and the Christmas parties with friends, with families, outings, etc.

And on the good-student side, we had this so-called seminar where we were divided into groups of five and our class consists of only 25 students. So that leaves us with only five groups. Every group is to conduct a company study of the three different industries assigned by the teacher. It was a tiring activity with, you know, finding industries and contacting them and they were so stubborn that they won't let us observe their processes and all. So we have to find another and so on.

Also we have this last-minute attitude. We were like "pressured". ha ha ha! Whatever.

To make things short...We found three companies -- one for leather, gelatin, and feed mill. It was all fun. And the seminar was indeed a SUCCESS!(December 17, 2008) ha ha ha... And I had a treat to myself that day :)

[I had a doughnut and ice cream. Yan lang kasi yung available that time. ha ha ha! medyo weird yung mukha ko dyan kasi hindi nag-count yung photographer.. hahaha.. oh well!]

And to sum up my December, here are the frozen moments XD

My Latest Read :)

2008-12-29T08:51:00.000+08:00

Meet Ashley Patterson, the brainy, babelicious "computer whiz" and confused heroine of Tell Me Your Dreams. Although she has a cushy job at Global Computer Graphics, a fast-growing start-up in Silicon Valley, her life falls short of fulfilling.She's lonely, shy, and absolutely convinced she's being stalked. What's worse, the only sympathetic ear around is her father, Dr. Patterson, the heartless heart surgeon, who has the charm of an electric eel and the compassion of a tarantula. Given her options, Ashley looks to the heavens for support and offers up an ultimatum to the Almighty: "I'll make a deal with you, God. If it doesn't rain, it means that everything is all right, that I've been imagining everything." Of course, it starts raining buckets just paragraphs later, setting off a car alarm of an omen about our computer cutie's fate.Enter Toni Prescott and Alette Peters. They both work with Ashley at Global Computer Graphics, but the similarities end there. Toni is a saucy, British vixen with a penchant for Internet dating and discotheques. La bella Italiana Alette, on the other hand, is a wannabe artist who prefers quiet, dreamy weekends withbeefcake painters. Reminiscent of junior high school, Toni and Alette do their best to keep Ashley out of their cool clique, but find it difficult when a string of murders irrevocably binds them together.Based on a true story and laden with realistic details--not to mention a whopper of an ending--Tell Me Your Dreams is vintage Sheldon. However, there is one necessary caveat: avoid moviegoer types who insist on telling you the entire plot before you have a chance to see it. You should be doing this anyway, but take extra care with this book. Once the surprise ending is blown, so is the fun in reading it.

I saw this certain news online about the incident in Valley Golf and Country Club. Actually I posted the Dela Paz's daughter's side. It's the preceding post to this one. and I have to say that the mayor was plain rude. Who the hell he is to say, "Hindi nila kami kilala! Sabihin mo nga sa kanila kung sino ako!"

Who the hell was he anyway?!?!

We can see that he's just so proud. And people elected him as the mayor. Well, a public servant. What a shame to our country..

And in Abante Tonite's site, i saw this.
Well, judge for yourself!

It's just so "EEEWWW"

2008-12-28T14:12:00.000+08:00

Every time I surf the net, first thing I open talaga is my plurk account. Na-shock talaga ako dahil one of the plurkers there posted something. It goes to all readers, sabi basahin daw namin. Tapos binasa ko rin. It was a blog post pala by her former classmate. I just can't imagine her pain. Her father daw kasi and her younger brother binugbog. Well, it was a politician--the mayor of Masiu City, Lanao del Sur-- and his flightmates who attacked them. And to think that I am a Filipino, it's so shameful!! They're using their power to attack a 56-year old father and a 14-year old boy. Sinabi pa, "Hindi nila kami kilala! Sabihin mo nga sa kanila kung sino ako!"

Pride is taking over them and it's just plain rude.
Here is the rest of the story if you want to know more. [click here!] And if you please, spread the news.
I hope this reaches the media para mabigyan ng justice yung pamilya nila.

Eco-Friendly Water-Powered Clock Blue

2008-12-18T22:58:00.000+08:00

Save money on batteries!
This clock is powered by water!
The epitome of a greener gadget.
With sustainable design and practical function in mind, this Eco-Friendly clock is actually powered by the very salt and water mixture that occupies 70% of the earth’s surface!
Without the need for batteries, the Eco-Friendly clock keeps perfect time as electrodes harvest energy from the water.
All you have to do to make the clock run is fill its tank up with tap water and depending on the particles that are in your water system you may need to add a small amount of table salt.
We also recommend that you cut a lemon in half and squeeze some lemon juice into the water tank.
This procedure will enhance the power generated by the clock and make it work more efficiently.
You need to change the water in the tank every so often and add water when it evaporates.
The clock has a memory function that remembers the time as you change the water. Save on the cost of buying batteries! Measuring approximately 4” high and 3.5” wide, this playful yet eco-conscious timepiece is truly what’s next in going green.
Do your part and participate in the fight against global warming today!

Change at Tumblr :)

2008-12-18T22:08:00.001+08:00

The moment I saw this photo at tumbler, it kept getting into my mind. I find it so simple, yet so deep, so poignant :)

Well, I just remembered that I made a facebook account pala last April 2008. Ngayon ko lang naalala. If not for Eugene seeing my photo there, I wouldn't have remembered na nag-sign up pala ako.. ha ha ha! The silly that I am... Well, okay, you can visit my profile here! I haven't customized it yet. Eh sa na-bo-bore kasi ako dun! Updates are flooding and it bugs me. :)

Anyways, I made my Tumblr account an hour ago. It's a simple blogging tool.

Well, I already "reblogged" some of the images I found in icanread. Statement images, mostly. XD

Enjoy! :)

I Do Not Love You

2008-12-06T18:53:00.000+08:00

I do not love you as if you were salt-rose, or topaz,
or the arrow of carnations the fire shoots off.
I love you as certain dark things are to be loved,
in secret, between the shadow and the soul.

I love you as the plant that never blooms
but carries in itself the light of hidden flowers;
thanks to your love a certain solid fragrance,
risen from the earth, lives darkly in my body.

I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where.
I love you straightforwardly, without complexities or pride;
so I love you because I know no other way

than this: where I does not exist, nor you,
so close that your hand on my chest is my hand,
so close that your eyes close as I fall asleep.

by Pablo Neruda

Ode to the Book

2008-12-06T10:21:00.000+08:00

When I close a book

I open life.

I hear

faltering cries

among harbours.

Copper ignots

slide down sand-pits

to Tocopilla.

Night time.

Among the islands

our ocean

throbs with fish,

touches the feet, the thighs,

the chalk ribs

of my country.

The whole of night

clings to its shores, by dawn

it wakes up singing

as if it had excited a guitar.

The ocean's surge is calling.

The wind

calls me

and Rodriguez calls,

and Jose Antonio--

I got a telegram

from the "Mine" Union

and the one I love

(whose name I won't let out)

expects me in Bucalemu.

No book has been able

to wrap me in paper,

to fill me up

with typography,

with heavenly imprints

or was ever able

to bind my eyes,

I come out of books to people orchards

with the hoarse family of my song,

to work the burning metals

or to eat smoked beef

by mountain firesides.

I love adventurous

books,

books of forest or snow,

depth or sky

but hate

the spider book

in which thought

has laid poisonous wires

to trap the juvenile

and circling fly.

Book, let me go.

I won't go clothed

in volumes,

I don't come out

of collected works,

my poems

have not eaten poems--

they devour

exciting happenings,

feed on rough weather,

and dig their food

out of earth and men.

I'm on my way

with dust in my shoes

free of mythology:

send books back to their shelves,

I'm going down into the streets.

I learned about life

from life itself,

love I learned in a single kiss

and could teach no one anything

except that I have lived

with something in common among men,

when fighting with them,

when saying all their say in my song.

Pablo Neruda

Decode by Paramore

2008-10-02T21:17:00.002+08:00

How can I decide what's right

When you're clouding up my mind?

I can't win

You're losing sight

All the time

Not gonna ever own what's mine

When you're always taking sides

But you won't take away my pride

No, not this time

Not this time

How did we get here?

I used to know you so well

How did we get here?

Well, I think I know

The truth is hiding in your eyes

And it's hanging on your tongue

Just boiling in my blood

But you think that I can't see

What kind of man that you are

If you're a man at all

Well, I will figure this one out

On my own

(I'm screaming, "I love you so")

On my own

(My thoughts you can't decode)

How did we get here?

I used to know you so well, yeah

How did we get here?

Well, I think I know

Do you see what we've done?

We've gone and made such fools

Of ourselves

Do you see what we've done?

We've gone and made such fools

Of ourselves

How did we get here?

I used to know you so well, yeah

How did we get here?

Well, I used to know you so well

I think I know

There is something I see in you

It might kill me

I want it to be true

Unexpected Twist

2008-09-27T18:13:00.000+08:00

1:45am -- finish na sa New Moon. OKAY will just be an understatement. It's simply more than that. =)
I woke up at 6:45am and even just opening my eyes required great effort. Damn! I'm too weak to even think of waking.

           But eventually I did. I had to. So I hurried, I can't afford to be late. No, I don't want people staring at me the moment I reach the door.
            Luckily or unluckily [for my slumber's sake], Sir Embalzado was late. He made it at 9am and Plastic discussion followed (group discussion)...
            we had lunch at Lasang foodpark...

12:30 -- study for Mechanics.. I'll be doomed! :(
2:30 -- Time for Mechanics but no sir Larida yet..
I think he arrived at 3 or 3:30pm and we proceeded to room 247T. [No permanent room, just settled for the available ones.]... We had a little discussion.
4:30 -- Time seems inevitable and so time's-up moments had its claim. The exam, I haven;'t studied well enough to survive that dreaded instant. But, to our surprise, it was like our Thermo, open-everything-you-can-open exam, which amazingly translates "legal cheating." It's not as bitter as it sounds, though. [well, for failing student's sake!]

Anyway, it was legal cheating. So I'm not gonna be sentenced to a boundless guilt and regret if I was caught runnign around looking for answers.
I really coudn't grasp a thing and I hold myself responsible for that, since Mr. Larida clearly demonstrates thorough knowledge about the subject. It's probably me, I'm the problem here (mostly, if putting aside his "absenot" label). I easily got distracted, to the extent that the room started spinning as he spoke. ha ha ha!

I'm good at other things, nevertheless! :)

Exam-ful Day =(

2008-09-26T17:52:00.001+08:00

10:30am -- having Advanced Stat! sir gimena, as cute as ever! hahaha.. I just can't find it in my mind to focus. My mind is so occupied by the exams ahead. so much that it started to spill out.
11:30am -- answering sample 4 in chapter 11.
11:50am -- Publisher for IE Elec [lec]... boring! Always boring. It's something constant.. :(
My mind wanders a lot. Now it's heading to my bhaus. I see myself reading New Moon. I can't wait for edward to return, miss him so bad like i was bella. =(
Thermo exam was a so-so! The first number, I didn't know. I just peeked in Mikyu's answer and so I got close to the right one, just close though.. But I managed to get perfect for the second number, or so I believe. It was open-book-open-notes exam and I got the 2nd one in my notes. :)
2:40pm -- [busy] Having oral exam in accounting...

Produced by MARK MORGAN, GREG MOORADIAN and WYCK GODFREY

Based on the best-selling Novel “Twilight” by STEPHENIE MEYER
Screenplay by MELISSA ROSENBERG (STEP UP, Fox's THE O.C., Showtime's DEXTER)

Directed by CATHERINE HARDWICKE (THIRTEEN, LORDS OF DOGTOWN)

TWILIGHT is an action-packed, modern day love story between a vampire and a human. Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart) has always been a little bit different, never caring about fitting in with the trendy girls at her Phoenix high school. When her mother remarries and sends Bella to live with her father in the rainy little town of Forks, Washington, she doesn’t expect much of anything to change. Then she meets the mysterious and dazzlingly beautiful Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson), a boy unlike any she’s ever met. Intelligent and witty, he sees straight into her soul. Soon, Bella and Edward are swept up in a passionate and decidedly unorthodox romance. Edward can run faster than a mountain lion, he can stop a moving car with his bare hands – and he hasn’t aged since 1918. Like all vampires, he’s immortal. But he doesn’t have fangs, and he doesn’t drink human blood; Edward and his family are unique among vampires in their lifestyle choice. To Edward, Bella is that thing he has waited 90 years for – a soul mate. But the closer they get, the more Edward must struggle to resist the primal pull of her scent, which could send him into an uncontrollable frenzy. But what will Edward & Bella do when James (Cam Gigandet), Laurent (Edi Gathegi) and Victoria (Rachelle Lefevre), the Cullens’ mortal vampire enemies, come to town, looking for her?

ABOUT TWILIGHT: Based on the current #1 New York Times Bestselling series (30 weeks and counting) with over 5.5 million books in print by Stephenie Meyer, TWILIGHT is a cultural phenomenon, with a dedicated fanbase that eagerly awaits this movie. There are over 100 fan sites devoted to Twilight, and it has been chosen as the New York Times Editor’s Choice, a Publishers Weekly Best Book of the Year, Amazon’s “Best Book of the Decade…So Far”, Teen People’s “Hot List” Pick, The American Library Association’s “Top Ten Best Book for Young Adults” and “Top Ten Books for Reluctant Readers” and has been translated into 20 languages. Critically acclaimed director Catherine Hardwicke brings to life this modern, visual, and visceral Romeo & Juliet story of the ultimate forbidden love affair – between vampire and mortal.

U.S. release via Summit Entertainment, November 21st, 2008.

My Happy Thursday

2008-09-25T18:04:00.001+08:00

3:10pm - Having Advanced Math, I can't understand a word, might as well ditch class, but i can't. I'm only counting on my attendance to pass... =(
Eugene texted that we meet in ayala for us to meet Nelson. But after a couple of minutes, there's a change of plan..
I could still feel the aftermath of the heated discussion an hour ago and I can't think straight. I'm furios in a way. Still furios..

Oh yeah! Humans do change their minds every now and then, especially with women. I don't know. I think it's just human nature. I now find myself listening to advanced math. I don't know why, but I just wanted to focus.

4:15pm - We were on our feet for a walk--long walk actually--looking for a make-up artist (har har!). As we head our way south, in front of Cheaver's, we met Engilbert. Well, we're extremely surprised. We did the catching up talking and stuff. We missed him, really. You know, not having seen him for quite a century already. He looked almost exactly he same, except for the evident fact, he got healthier.

Lucky he offered some dessert. He's now working as a call center agent , so no biggie!
Jollibee was the closest dessert haven, so we went there. We talked and laughed, like we always did, [oh yeah!]-- like we always do, I should say. Most of us got sundae, so to speak... We had fun. :]

Going home was like bursting the bubble, but we had to. Jeff, Leslie and Shalee had to head further south. And I, Mikyu, Jo, Yo, and Bert went back to the school's direction. I had to go to Hyperlink and Bert to his friends' flat.

Eugene waited for me at Hyperlink and we surfed the net. I was having conversation with Leslie and Mikyu thru YM. But my mic or the headphone, I don't now, was not working well enough. My impatience elevated, so I decided to go home. I have thermo to study for. Well, I failed in my Mid-term, so I need to double up my effort for the last quiz tomorrow.

Nick Pitera, Oh My!

2008-09-18T20:25:00.001+08:00

I 'm watching now a Nick Pitera Video on Youtube. oh yeah! He is indeed amazing. Incredible. Heart-warming. His voice is everything good, I can't almost believe it! You should watch his videos, too! I have here the links. Feel free to click it. :]

Nick Pitera singing One Sweet Day Mariah Carey Boyz 2 Men

Nick Pitera singing A Whole New World of Disney's Aladdin

Prayers and Faith..

We went to see klim yesterday at Chong Hua hospital. He was hit by a car last September 13 and he's in a critical conditon right now. Since Saturday, he's not that fuly conscious or something. I don't know for now, but yesterday, he's not. I'll just make this short and I hope anyone who reads this will get to pause and pray for his recovery. Please, everyone, he needs us right now...

Thank you!

God bless us all..

Thirty-three facts not disclosed in the book..

2008-08-24T19:20:00.000+08:00

1.Prefects can take points; Ron got it wrong in Order of the Phoenix, which makes him a pretty poor prefect, eh?

2.Fred and George Weasley were born on April Fools' day (no joke).

3.Ginny Weasley's first name is Ginevra, and she is the first female Weasley born for "several generations," says JKR.

4.Arthur Weasley has two brothers.

5.Molly Weasley's maiden name is Prewett.

6.Crookshanks is half Kneazle.

7.The infamous Weasley cousin who was cut from the books was named Mafalda. She was in Slytherin.

8.Dean Thomas's father was killed by Death Eaters when he refused to join them. Neither Dean nor his mother know.
Dean Thomas was named Gary in the first drafts of the Philosopher's Stone.

9.Hagrid, Lily, and James were in Gryffindor. (Hagrid was NOT in Hufflepuff.)

10.Hogwarts has about a thousand students. (True, that number doesn't seem right, but J.K.R. said so, and she's the boss.)

11.James Potter was a Chaser on the Gryffindor Quidditch team (although the movie claimed he was a Seeker).

12.Hermione's birthday is September 19th; Ron's is March 1st.

13.James Potter inherited lots of money and didn't need a well-paying profession.

14.James Potter inherited the Invisibility Cloak from his father.

15.Witches and wizards have longer life-spans than Muggles.

16.The Gringotts' goblins return the Muggle money they acquire back into circulation.

17.The approximate value of a Galleon is about five pounds ($7.30 or 8.00 Euro), though the exchange rate varies.

18.Dumbledore is 150, McGonagall is 70 (and is really an old softy; she just doesn't act like it), Snape is 35 or 36.

19.Hogwarts' school motto, "Draco Dormiens Nunquam Titillandus," means, "Never tickle a sleeping dragon."

20.If placed in front of a mirror, the inscription on the Mirror of Erised ("Erised stra ehru oyt ube cafru oyt on wohsi") reads, "I show not your face but your heart's desire."

21.The happiest people do not become ghosts (12). (Therefore, we can assume that ghosts are people that died while sad, angry, etc. Myrtle was teased; Nearly Headless Nick didn't have his head completely chopped off; the Bloody Baron was...lonely?)

22.The Hogwarts teachers do not stay at Hogwarts during the Christmas holidays. However, Filch, Hagrid, and Dumbledore do.

23.A few of the Hogwarts professors have spouses, but that information is restricted for reasons we will find out about later. (5)

24.To remove the tail that Hagrid gave Dudley in the hut on the rock, the Dursleys went to a private hospital where the staff was very discreet, and said that a wart had gone out of control. (9)

25.Aragog is an Acromantula (see Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them). (6)

26.Dragons can't be domesticated, no matter what Hagrid thinks. (6)

27.There is more to the cats in the story (Crookshanks, Mrs. Figg's cats, Mrs. Norris, etc.) than meets the eye. (9)

28.The animal an Animagus turns into is a reflection on his/her personality. (8)

29.For Hagrid, keeping dangerous creatures is all about overcoming something that could kill him. (6)

30.Azkaban is in a sea north of the North Sea. A very cold sea. (12)

31..You can do unfocused and uncontrolled magic without a wand (like when Harry blows up Aunt Marge), but to perform really good spells, you need a wand. (5)

32. Muggle education is not required for wizard children prior to attending Hogwarts. (9)

33.A magical quill detects the birth of every magical child and records it in a book and Professor McGonagall sends an owl to each child when he or she turns eleven. (14)

Gossip Girl XOXO

2008-08-22T16:37:00.001+08:00

I love Gossip Girl.

Can't wait for the next season.

I bought it's first season, watched it and lovin' it. The episodes got a lot to offer. You will be thrilled.

Believe me, I cried, laughed. Well, I had fun, to narrow it down.

Every teenager, with a highlight on ladies, can pretty much relate with this series. It's a typical life of teens -- the boys, gossips, frienemies, fashion, jealousy.

Hahahaha, indeed from-BOYS-to-NAIL-POLISH series.

Something awaits every episode, like a surprise. And every bit of it is worth watching... :D

Sidney Sheldon R.I.P. Rock In Perpetuity!

January 31, 2007

And so this is Sidney Sheldon, one of my favorite authors.

I have always adored his works -- the best laid plans, master of the game, etc, etc.

He has this sense in writing that is so inviting. Though I haven't really seen him in person, I feel his passion. He drives me to tears, to excitement, to thrill and to a world so different from here.

Although he won an Academy Award, a Tony, and A few Emmys, I’ll always remember him as one of the humblest, most genuine people I’ve ever known with an incredible work ethic.

He once said, “Don’t talk about writing…Do it!”

I’m doin’ it, Sidney…Thank You! R.I.P. Rock In Perpetuity!

"I try to construct them so when the reader gets to the end of a chapter, he or she has to read just one more chapter. It's the technique of the old Saturday afternoon serial: leave the guy hanging on the edge of the cliff at the end of the chapter." - Sidney Sheldon
