Il Mare (2000)

2012-01-15T00:08:00.000+08:00

Il Mare is a (South) Korean film about two people who came from different time—Eun-joo, a voice artist from year 2000 and Sung-hyun, an architectural student who’s from 1998.

Eun-joo is about to leave Il Mare (which means “The Sea” in Italian), a seaside house, and left a Christmas card for the next owner asking to forward any mail for her in her new address. Sung-hyun receives the letter and is confused because he knows he’s the first to live in Il Mare, and the date is set two years in the future. The two forwarded mails and later realized that it was the mailbox that makes these things work. Sung-hyun became Eun-joo’s calling person (metaphorically) then. She talks with him about his feelings about his boyfriend which she dearly loves despite the latter choosing another girl after their separation (her boyfriend went to America for work). Sung-hyun on the other hand, while knowing Eun-joo more and more, realized his feelings for her.

What will happen to their story? Will things work out despite the fact that they live two years apart?

Want to know what will happen in their love story? Read more…

Sung-hyun was able to see Eun-joo in his time, when she doesn’t know him yet. Though she sees him as a stranger, Sung-hyun accepts this and developed his feelings more.

Eun-joo and Sung-hyun continued exchanging mails and decided to meet. On the date they set, Eun-joo saw a house being built in their meeting place. She was told that it was designed by architecture for her true love. Continuing the story, Sung-hyun did not turn up. Sung-hyun mailed Eun-joo telling her it would be impossible for him to forget that kind of promise.

Thereon, Eun-joo met her ex-boyfriend and realized she still loves him. She sent a mail to Sung-hyun asking him to intervene on his ex leaving for abroad. Sung-hyun accepted it and sent a letter to Eun-joo telling her it would be his last letter for her.

Later, Eun-joo remembered an accident which happened the day her ex and she separated. She went to Sung-hyun’s school and she was told that Sung-hyun died on during that day. He was hit by a car while crossing the road to the restaurant where she had her last date with his ex. Eun-joo rushed to Il Mare and sent a letter to Sung-hyun, telling him not to go there.

In the end, the story brings back the first scene where Eun-joo was about to put the Christmas card in the mailbox. It’s revealed Sung-hyun got her letter and did not intervene on their last date. There, Eun-joo was approached by Sung-hyun and told her about a story, their story.

Ang Mga Kaibigan ni Mama Susan

2012-01-10T00:04:00.000+08:00

The book Ang Mga Kaibigan ni Mama Susan, by Bob Ong, was written like entries in a journal by the main protagonist, Galo. The entries were dated back from the late ‘90s. It started by some random rants about his highschool life and so it went until he became a college student. Things just started to became creepy in the story when he came back to his province and visited his grandmother.

It tells about spirits, something paranormal. It also tackles about the effect of technology in the people which made me reflect for a while. It hit right on the spot about how we crave for them when in the first place, we don’t need them.

For those who haven't read the book yet, watch its trailer. I rated it 3 out of 5. But ofcourse, we have different taste when it comes to books. You can always rate it base on your perception about it.

UST Paskuhan

2011-12-23T19:06:00.000+08:00

Straight from UP Lantern Festival, we rode the cab and went to UST Paskuhan. This time, Joy disagreed to go with us. A matter of strict parents!

Anyway, along with Cara, Robert, Amen, and Vlad, we paid a total of Php 250. Not bad for the comfort and privacy of the ride. Supposed to be, it was to be Php 200 only but the driver told us that it was traffic ahead and he’s not agreeing, not with Php 250 as the fare. So, the deal is off!

So guys, remember making an agreement before you ride a cab. Maybe you can have a deal for a lower price on your cost.

Continuing... everyone shared their stories along the way. A chance of bonding, not to be missed right?! We talked about random topics like the UP newspaper which Vlad and Amen were carrying. I forgot the title, and haven’t read any articles, but it has weird stuffs on it (no offense, cause I just had a glimpsed and the idea came from what both of them were telling us). Conversation about gradeschool years, and highschool were also on the list.

Alas! We arrived around 8 pm I guess. We noticed that a lot of people were outside. Probably, outsiders like us. We asked the guards and they told us that the event is not open for everyone (like we thought it was), unless you know someone from inside. But ofcourse, we know someone. Melvin!

He was with Aika (I don’t know her personally but she was my schoolmate in highschool). We made our way inside and signed on the visitor’s form. Amen’s mischief didn’t go unnoticed in our eyes. Eheh!

So, we just took a stroll. We went where Melvin’s classmates were hanging out. He (Melvin) wanted to introduce us but didn’t know how to start. I was expecting he would still do what he should have done because I want to try making some friends that moment. To go out of my shell and try to be friendly. Stuffs in my mind went like that.

Nonetheless, as I said, nothing happened, so we kept our stroll. We were all hungry so we decided to take our dinner then. We went outside the university and ate in a nearby carinderia. As we finished our dinner, the fireworks started. Actually, fireworks, for me, is one of the wonders of the world. It was good in any way. Some were saying that that was not everything of it. I was hoping the same.

...fireworks, for me, is one of the wonders of the world.

We went to the washroom afterwards. Need not to elaborate. I waited with the others outside just like the others. The line for the girls’ was really long (as always). Need not to compare it with the boys queue. Anyway, I’m not the one who needed WC. The boys do.

A matter of time, the boys wanted to watch the band. So we went to the spot where the bands were playing. Looking at the crowd of people gathering around the area, we knew at sight that we won’t be able to make a way near band playing. We just stayed there for several minutes and had some fun chatting and watching from a distance.

For our last few hours, we lay in the grass. How do I describe it? It felt peaceful doing that. Serene, and all we did was chat. Telling stories and doing our things. Moments later, Melvin decided to treat us burgers. It was his birthday the yesterday. Looking back, he always did that, treating us burgers during his birthday. He didn’t change much, I guess.

So, I’m not good with guys. But during our time, since from when we’re in UP Lantern Fest and until now, I felt closer to my guy friends. I just had the confidence to have the urge and have conversation with them.

I felt closer to my guy friends.

I had some time with Robert in UP. A moment with Melvin. Some minutes with Vlad. And a short debate and game with Amen. For me, this was a great accomplishment. I’m starting to get used to them. I’m not being the ~~man-hater~~ (exaggerated to use this word, but I don’t know any word similar or alike with this) they used to view me.

Ahah! I’m changing. A change for good.

The debate and game with Amen by the way, it was the funniest and inspiring thing I did that day. Game went like predicting the course of a certain passerby, judging who’s the leader of the group of people walking by, and watching couples make sweet arrangements and have arguments. We’re not trying to invade privacy. Just not trying to not lose the time out of boredom.

So the debate... Matters about our dreams, hopes and aspirations. One of the thing he said that was engraved in my mind was, “Hindi naman talaga mahalaga kung ano yung natapos mo. Ang talagang mahalaga ay kung natupad mo yung pangarap mo.” (It is not important what degree did you finished. What really matters is if you accomplished your dream.)

Hindi naman talaga mahalaga kung ano yung natapos mo. Ang talagang mahalaga ay kung natupad mo yung pangarap mo.

It made me think, reminisced my life and think of what I did in the past. Honestly, picking a career in the field of medicine was really out of my thoughts before. Sometimes, it still felt like mystery on why I chose it. I was more inclined to the field of arts, and I think I’ll do well in practical jobs. But anyway, I’m still pursuing this career. I hope I’ll have my mind cleared in the future and know what I really want.

So, that’s more of what happened last December 16, 2011. Lovsalut everyone!

UP Lantern Festival

2011-12-20T16:03:00.000+08:00

To see my highshool classmates is one of the oddest things that can happen after graduation. We went to different colleges and universities, and some of us went to dormitories. Most of us changed our number and our only connection left intact is our Group page in Facebook.

Anyway, last Friday some of us gathered to attend the UP Lantern Festival. Actually, we were supposed to meet up around 5 pm but due to some unavoidable circumstances, we met around 7 pm. Okay, we had some misunderstanding on where to meet up but nonetheless, I enjoyed the few hours I had in the Lantern Parade with one of my closest friend, Joy.

We were supposed to wait for our friends to come so while waiting, we both watched the parade for some time while sharing our college stories, rants and adventures.

After a while lanterns started floating in the sky. Not minding our agreement with the others, we both decided to go where the lanterns were coming from. I know it was both selfish of us but we’re both excited to see this “Tangled” like experience for the first time.
It did not fail us. The scenery was really awesome. Lanterns were flying one after the other. They were like stars in the sky, only that they were moving with the wind. (^_^) Oh well, we didn’t want to miss the opportunity so we took some pictures.

Flicker! Flick! Flick!

Minutes later, we saw the others walking towards us—Yssa and James. Ehem! So we found each other after all this time. We went to see the others as well—Amen, and Bon. Ijay just left and we just missed him.

We talked for some time and later decided to go to UST Paskuhan. Joy told us that she can’t go because her parents won’t allow her so we bid her a farewell.

The Lantern Festival felt magical. I met my friends and had the time to bond with them.

For my next post, I’ll tell you about the time I had at UST Paskuhan.

This is College

2011-11-05T18:54:00.000+08:00

When I posted here that I’ll be on an indefinite hiatus, I was really thinking back then that it would be good for a month or two, or maybe even sooner if I’ll be able to get myself a laptop. A month passed and my wish was granted because I received a netbook from my dad. Good thing!

But college life forbade me. I went through a different routine. Although it was really busy, it was fun. A new phase of my life just opened. My college life has begun.

DORM. I live in a dorm. To save time, and money. It’s practical. But it means I have to be away from my family. I prepared myself—my emotions, and such. At first, I thought I won’t ever feel home-sickness. But my mind did fail me. I started to felt it. Nonetheless, I survived everything.

DORM MATES. They’re almost my family. I’ve been with them for the past five months. Through thick and thin, we’ve been together. Although I deny not that our bonds were tested. Our connection never felt so strong. My impression of how things will go, having to live in a dorm, and being with strangers you don’t know, they all went away. Gone. Diminished. I’ll tell you, being with them is fun. And I experienced a whole new part of my life because I lived with them.

Some of my dorm mates. Excuse the messy surrounding. It's PIZZA DAY neh!

CLASSES. If the professor won’t arrive for the next 30 minutes since class started, you can all go home. That’s the difference.

PROFESSORS. Need not to excuse yourself when you go out. That’s common. But of course, we should still practice right courtesy.

SCHEDULES. Saturday classes. >.< That’s it. Pick some good schedule. Be sure you can handle your time.

My second semester schedule. No more Saturday classes! (^_^)

EXAMS. Just study the lesson and don’t ever dare to be left behind. Then, look at how easy everything will go.

FOODS. The thing about living in a dorm is to have stock foods on your shelf. You never know when you’ll get hungry.

ENTERTAINMENT. So here’s what happened. I always feel tired after class, and all I want was to relax so I started watched movies to unwind. It served as my past time.

GIMICKS. I don’t what this word was, until, well, I experienced what a true one was. But anyway, spend your time wisely. This is solely a gift for you after long days of hardwork. Enjoy life, but prioritize your studies, ALWAYS!

It’s been 5 months. I missed a lot of things. But I’ll try to update everything. See, I even revamped my blog. Let’s start again!

I Will Be on Hiatus

2011-06-08T19:32:00.005+08:00

Guys, I’ll be on a hiatus for a while. I’ll be living on the dorm starting on June 10, 2011. With that, I won’t be able to blog until I can get myself a laptop. Yeah, I know how it sucks not to have a laptop especially when you know that you will need it. But you can donate if you like. (^_^)

You can follow me on my twitter if you want to keep updated with me. I think I can still update that. But, be sure to leave to your twitter username, so I can follow back.

Anyway class will start on June 13. I was feeling nervous for almost 3 days now. I don’t know if it’s because I’ll be living in a dorm starting on Friday, or I just feel worried about being a college student. Nevertheless, I already made friends with some of my blockmates. I searched for them in Facebook. So FB really served its purpose, to stay connected with people. I just hope that when we meet each other, well be good friends.

So, for those who commented on my last post, thank you very much. I was really bothered about it but you because of you, my feelings were lightened up.

If you’ve noticed, I just closed my tagboard. I know I would not be able to tag back so I think it would be unfair if I keep my tagboard. If you have any message for me, drop a comment here or send me a message through my contact form. Well, it’ll be back soon, stay tuned.

My Dream

2011-06-06T22:00:00.004+08:00

I've been having weird dreams lately. Last night, I dreamed about being in an auditorium with I guess, with my supposed to be schoolmates. But well, some of the people there were not really going to be my schoolmates. I saw Cara, Robert, Mara, Erruel, and Marian in my dream.

We were having an election. So, we have already elected a president. Then I was called to nominate the vice president but I didn’t stand up. And then I heard someone nominate the vice president. And then someone was elected. I was nominated for secretary along with my highschool classmate who was the secretary in our class before. When I was a senior, I was the assistant secretary of my class. Anyway, somewhere in my dream, Marian said,”Si Mary siya yung nakakarelate pero hindi nakakaapreciate. Kaya ipaubaya niyo nalang sa akin ito.” I am pretty sure that was the exact words. Then someone stood up for me. She was Mara. She said and explained my side. I can’t remember what she said though. In the end, I was elected as the secretary.

When my dream was about to end, we were in a jeep. I was thanking Mara what she said. Well, I don’t know if what I can still remember it right, but Cara was gazing or glaring at us. And that’s it.

I want to know what this dream means. It was bothering me since I woke up. I asked myself, what kind of person am I? Even in my dreams, I was being told what I am.

My Medical Examination

2011-06-03T22:00:00.002+08:00

I had my Physical and Dental examination today. It’s a requirement for my course so I need to attend it. We arrived in the school at around 11 am. There’s already a line of students in the clinic, waiting for their turn. At around that time, the one assisting us already stopped accepting another set of students. They were advice instead to come back at 1:30 pm. I felt quite lucky because I am the last student accepted to be examined. Atleast I made it in time.

They measured my height and weight. I was disappointed with the result about my height. Last time, I was already 4’ 11’’ and now, I’m back being 4’ 10’’. Yeah, I’m that short. But I guess it was because I was not comfortable with my position when they took my height. The base which I was stepping on was moving that I can’t stand erectly.

While waiting, I saw someone who looked like my brother. And that caught my interest. When I caught a glimpse of him, I really thought about my brother. Let’s call him John. Anyway, I heard he will take the same course I will be taking too and I think it would be good too if we become classmates. Haha. It’s just my curiosity okay. I have always been interested with those people who look quite alike with the exception of twins, triplets, and the likes.

Continuing, it’s my turn for my physical examination. The doctor asked about if I have been admitted to the hospital, if I felt dizzy etc. Then, she checked my ears, mouth, and other areas in my body. It was done for quite a number of minutes. If I compared it with the others who went there before me, I’m assured that mine was done pretty quickly. Is it because I’m the last one? Or is it because, there’s no abnormalities or anything that need my attention? Anyway, the result was a big OKAY but I was recommended to have a booster shot. We were instructed to go back at 2:30 pm for my dental examination and for the shot as well.

My mom and I decided to go to Cubao to eat in Chowking. I love their Halo-halo there. While eating, my mom told me she noticed that John looked like my brother. XD She noticed it too. After our lunch, we went to National Bookstore per my request. I want to buy a planner because I really want to keep things organized. Unluckily, I didn’t have much choice. I even asked one of the staffs but she showed me the organizers. I guess she doesn’t know the difference between the two. Anyway, I bought the only planner they have. The Candy school planner. Since it’s a school planner, I would not need to worry if it’s already halfway of the year, right! Too bad I think it’s too small.

It’s already 2:15 pm so we went back to the school again. At the entrance, I saw my blockmate, Marsha. Hah! Lucky chance! I’m glad I saw her. Though we didn’t talk much, and we just greeted each other, I’m still grateful. We guided them to the clinic so they can register on the form. Then she and her mother went outside to wait. Since we’ve been there this morning, I’m already part of those who needs to wait inside.

I was shot the booster first then I had my dental after so. The shot stung me. Urgh! But not to the point that I need to freak out. My dental exam went well. The only thing they noticed was that I need to have pasta on one of my teeth. So, that’s it for my physical and dental examination.

When I went home, they told me I have a parcel. Yaay! I wonder what it is. And I’m really glad, it’s my prize from Christel’s New Domain giveaway. I’ve been waiting for it for almost a month now. Sugoii! It’s the first giveaway prize that needs shipping that I received. It was cool. My lips is not really in a good condition right now, and I’m pretty sure those lip products would help me nourished it. By the way, I already gave the lipstick to my mom. I was supposed to give it to her on Mother’s Day if the parcel arrived earlier. But anyway, I gave it to her.

I Watch A Lot These Days

Follow me in Tumblr and Twitter. Leave your Tumblr/Twitter so I can follow back

NOTE: When you link exchange with my other blogs, PixieHeart.info or CelestialRose.info, make a separate link. Don’t remove my link, PixieChronicle.bs.com. I’m still using this blog. If you remove it, I’ll remove your link in this blog too.

I just want to clarify the part above. Some remove the link for PixieChronicle when I try to link exchange with them in PixieHeart/CelestialRose. I guess it’s okay but if you do so, your link will be removed here too.

Anyway, it’s been a while since my last post. I was pretty occupied by my watching of dramas and my stilling some scenes to capture some parts. The drama I watched by the way was Zettai Kareshi, also known as Absolute Boyfriend. The drama was adapted from the manga with the same title by Yuu Watase, but they changed some parts. I’ve been updating my tumblr, Pinkspell.info, about that drama which I really loved. Here’s the plot:

Robot maker, Kronos Heaven, finally develops “Night Tenjo”, the perfect male humanoid programmed to be devoted and completely loyal to his lover. The company chooses temp worker Izawa Riko to take part in a 5-day free trial. At first, Riko only sees Night as a household appliance. But when she finds out how deep Night’s devotion to herself is, Riko finds herself falling in love with him. Joining the love triangle is Asamoto Soshi, a distinguished young executive at her company who has feelings for her. — Fuji TV

Starring Hayami Mokomichi Tenjo Night, Mizushima Hiro Asamoto Soshi and Aibu Saki Isawa Riiko. The drama was simply amazing. I know it is purely fictional, I mean the story. But there are parts when you would just wish that it will just come true. I made some post and review about this in Tumblr. (Check out Zettai Kareshi tag for more!)You might want to read it. But WARNING, they contain spoilers.

I also watched Beastly last Friday night. It truly captivated my heart. Tehee! Love is not about the looks but about your feelings. But seriously, I never thought Kyle was ugly. I think his look there was very creative and was a work of art. Just look at those swirls, especially that tree in his left hand. It was marvelous. XD If I see someone like that, I might tell him, “Wow, nice one.” By the way, this is my favorite scene. It was romantic if you ask me.

I am also trying to finish another drama. Secret Garden! I’m already on episode 9. But I’m not really happy now with this. My favorite character here is Director Im (Philip Lee). I just think he’s cool. And because he’s my favorite, I was disheartened on this scene.

This is the most hateful scene I have ever watched. Kim Joo Won (who was in Gil Ra Im’s body here) was being too much here. He dared to intervene with other people’s feelings. Director Im looks badly hurt. ~My Tumblr

By the way, I was able to make an animated picture from one of the scenes in Secret Garden. It’s my first, regarding with dramas. I’m proud of it. Check it out here. Anyway, to keep updated with me, just go to my tumblr cause I’m posting there about my recent activities with this drama or go directly to tagged/Secret_Garden.

Orientation

2011-05-18T21:07:00.046+08:00

I know it’s late already but here’s what happened during our orientation (04/13/11).

I woke up at 5. I was ready at 6:30 AM. XD The trip takes 2 hours at most. My mom was getting ~~annoyed~~ at me because she told I was slow. Anyway, we were finally able to ride at 6:50 AM. We expected to arrive in the school at 8:30 AM. 30 minutes late. Neh?! But oh-well, Friday the 13th is not an unlucky day at all for me. The trip was less than an hour. Haha! I was watching my watch.

Anyway, the orientation itself was boring. Although I was glad I saw two of my classmates on highschool, Marian (she will be my classmate again) and Paulyn, my mood was lifted when the discussion went on without any break, for four hours. They had the usual talk, about the school regulations, but I’d rather read the handbook when it arrives. Anyway, it’ll contain the same thing. Maybe, atleast, they should have presented us an intermission number. The atmosphere on the room was dull, they should have noticed it. Oh, they noticed it but nothing was really done to change it.

So it goes on! And bleh, it end atlast. But I think they’re really trying to make everything fitted for the students. They kept on giving surveys from the time I took the entrance exam, when I enrolled, when I had my ID picture taken, and even now. I just wish they’ll become livelier next time, on the other batch.

Oh, yeah! So much for me, but I don’t know that the school I’m attending to is a Christian school. Heh! I’m not thoroughly doing my research.

Nevertheless I really think that in some cases, it made me feel that the place is safe and peaceful. I’ll have my dorm there so I guess that’s a plus. Anyway, I’ll go home every Saturday since my schedule during that day would be until 12 noon. Yaay! It feels exciting.

So I don’t know, I’m still thinking about the bag I should be using. Hehe! I know it may sound nonsense but what should I have, a backpack, or handbag? I saw a lot of students who have backpack so maybe it must be a necessity there. Any opinion?

Okay, so I was thinking that I’ll be posting my tumblr diary here too. I wrote daily things in my tumblr about my life, so since this is my personal blog, I might as well compile everything here. Anyway, I was having this blog so that in the future, I can go here and backread whatever happened to me in the past. It’s worth it right? So, here are they:

Huh? - To clarify this part, it's about someone whom I met in Facebook who told me that he has a crush on me. Let us just call him JB and he's my batchmate and schoolmate. Although I haven't met him yet personally. And he's already talking about wooing me. It's awkward. Nonetheless, well, atleast now I know that someone has this kind of feeling for me.

My Tumblr

2011-05-12T18:49:00.000+08:00

See, I have my tumblr is simplified now. If you have been visiting my tumblr, you know that I'm using a pink customized layout. but now, I'm putting pink aside. Whee! It loads easier now since it does not have any images at all, aside from those typographies, & photographies posted.

Noticed that my tumblr have a domain now? Hehehe... I think I'm quite lucky when it comes to domain giveaways. So anyway, as you can see, I used the domain for my tumblr. But I changed it weeks ago, I just did not blog about it. But I'm saying it now.

Hope you can drop by there. I'm reposting interesting things and sometimes, I post my own typography too. And also, I'm planning to do my daily blogging there. Don't confuse this. This blog, PixieChronicle, will stay as my personal blog, and my tumblr will serve as my daily (random) blog. You know, those rants and random thoughts.

Nonetheless, here's an update. I'm having a dorm. My mom tricked me getting one. Aw! I'm really thinking hard about it but it already happened. I'll be getting this small freedom from June until college then I guess.

So, who's getting a dorm, too? Maybe we can meet now. (^_^) So, this means I need to prepare myself.

Last thing, we'll be having our orientation tomorrow. I hope everything will go smoothly. Since my enrollment, some bad things are happening to me. Good vibes please!

My, Oh May

2011-05-10T22:50:00.006+08:00

I am currently thrilled watching Secret Garden. If you live in the Philippines, then maybe, you already know that it’s airing on the Philippine television with Tagalog dub. But me, I believe that the original is way better than those being dubbed, and I really prefer watching with subtitles instead. I’m watching it now in Dramacrazy, an affiliate of Animecrazy where I watch Anime.

On the other hand, I am preparing for college. I’m not sure if I’m getting a dorm or not. It takes a four-hour ride back and forth to my new school. In a month, if ever I get a dorm, I’ll save 96 hours of my time which is equal to four days. But the thing is, I’m not sure if I’m prepared to become separated with my family. But I’m waiting, I’m waiting for some miracle. If that miracle happens, I’ll get a dorm no matter what. Anyway, here’s my schedule. ~~Full load~~. I need to do my best.

see larger version here

Tomorrow is May 11. I just learned that my Sweetposh mom, Ate Yesh is having her birthday tomorrow. I prepared something for her in my other blog, Pixieheart, which was given to me when I became part of the Sweetposh family. I hope she’ll like it. If you want to know what I’m talking about, just visit my Pixieheart tomorrow. You’ll know what I mean.

I just want to let you know that I'm posting Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows Part 1 deleted scenes on Pixieheart as well starting from today. Check it out daily to see them.

Blogwise, when the class starts, I'll remove my tagboard. If you want to ask something or tell me anything, just comment on my latest post or use my contact form then on. But for now, keep on tagging if you want.

My Summer About End

2011-05-05T00:13:00.004+08:00

The month of May has started. My, I’m not really enjoying summer at all staying home all the time. Can’t help it anyway. Our supposed to be get-together with my classmates was postponed. It will be on the last week May. But I really do doubt that we will still have it. They already pushed it to the limit.

I know I’m complaining here yet I turned down the invitation to go to the province. I’ll be coming with my grandma and my cousin, but well, my mom and brother ain’t going so I decided I won’t too. Some of my granny’s friends were also coming. I’m not anti-social yet I thought I’ll not enjoy without the company of someone close to me and with those company added to the bunch of us.

Supposed I went with them, I'll see this again.

Anyway, I'm still looking forward doing something new. I want to do something worthwhile. Maybe I'll stop watching movies and animes and I'll read some inspirational book. Any recommendations on how to spend my last days of summer?

Here's my April Summer

2011-05-01T00:25:00.002+08:00

There's some problem about Celestial Rose but I'm hoping it'll be fixed soon. Sometimes, it's down, but there are times when it's up. Also, visit Panache Mag. It is an online magazine that would showcase the new, the ‘in’, and the cool. Panache is an independent project by eager bloggers who would love to spend her free time writing for people.

Here’s summer for you. College is almost. I’m just watching movies and animes. I’ve never read a book. That’s quite a change since last summer I finished reading quite a number of books for summer. Guess things always change.

Anyway, here’s the list of movies I have already watched:

Il Mare (Korean film)
My Girl (Korean Film)
Scream 1
Scream 2
Scream 3
Seasons of the Witch
Step Up 2
The Last Airbender
The Love of Siam (Thai film)

I watched Scream because I was planning to watch Scream 4. I thought watching the previous movies were a must. Those Korean movies which I watched were by the way recommended by my friend, Joy. The Thai film, was, oh, well, suggested by JC. And just a trivia, Mario Maurer is part of it. I watched Step Up 2 per request by my brother who wants to watch it. The Last Airbender. I watched it because I was looking forward seeing the film made based on the anime Avatar: The Legend of Aang. Was quite disappointed anyway.

List of Anime:

Detective Conan Season 10
Detective Conan Season 11
Naruto Shippuden (random episodes)
The Story of Saiunkoku Season 1 (recommended)
The Story of Saiunkoku Season 2 (recommended)

I already finished Detective Conan S10. I’m still watching the S11. I’m planning to watch Naruto Shippuden over again, though I have not watched the whole thing yet, I got glimpse of which when my brother watches it. So maybe, I could try to watch it from the start which I somehow already started. I’m already on Season 4. The last but definitely, not the least, but the best anime I have watched this month, The Story of Saiunkoku. Try watching it. It was set back in hose time when men grew their hair long (<3), when women always wear yukata, and back in those time when there were still emperors living in the castle in Japan. I love this kind of genre so I enjoyed it.

So I guess, that pretty much it. I did not really feel bored but it was kind of sad, not to enjoy my time in the beach or pool atleast. My summer dream is gone. I hope next year it would be fun.

My Easter Sunday

2011-04-24T19:21:00.001+08:00

We heard the mass first thing in the morning. Well, it was quite lucky, we all went to the church—my mom, my brother and I, my little cousin Lance went with us too. Usually, my brother would not go with us. Maybe he felt he needs to go now.

Nevertheless, after the mass, we went to the cemetery, but this time my brother did not come with us. After we lit the candles on my great grandmother’s grave, Lance and I jogged around the place. We did two lapses to be exact. It was fun because I don’t usually bond with him these days but I used to, everyday. He’s now enjoying his free time with other children in our street now. Well, he’s a kid. A growing one. What should I expect? Anyway, we ate some spaghetti after that. That’s what we usually do after going to the church. And then home sweet home.

I also had my hair cut today. If you’ve been following me on twitter, you probably knew this. From 31 inches, my hair length became 18 inches. Well, I’ve been planning to cut it shorter but many people even my mother and some others, do not approved the idea. What’s the deal with my hair? XD It seems they’re much more affected with this being cut. I just let it grew long because I believe a girl should have a long hair. That’s it.

Anyway, my days didn’t stop there. I went with my cousin Lance to attend the Easter Egg Hunt sponsored by Jollibee. It was awkward being there. Mothers accompany their children but in my cousin’s case, I was the one who was with her. But it can’t be helped. Her parents were working abroad. My uncle who bought him the ticket had another appointment, as well as my grandma and mother.

Nonetheless, we tried our best to have fun. My cousin, with a little bit of help from me, won on three games so he received many prizes. But we missed one of the most important parts—designing the Easter Egg. We arrived late and when we were given the egg and coloring materials, I thought there’s a specific time we would do this because they just told me to put my cousin’s name. I was wrong! They already had those eggs designed. And they have already selected the winner. It was quite disappointing but we’re at fault too. So, we just accepted it.

one of the activities

Jollibee

After the event, my uncle arrived but we’re already leaving. He just treated us ice creams and lunch as a thank you gift.

So that’s pretty much of the day during the Easter.

By the way, hope you’ll drop by on my new blog again, Celestial Rose. I’m also part of this online mag, Panache Online. Hope you can drop by and take the time reading there.

This Dream

2011-04-23T02:00:00.003+08:00

My uncle told me that I should try nursing. He said it a lot of times. Yes I admire those nurses. Especially when they wear their nursing scrubs. But nursing is not really the course I want now. According to the datum I collected, nursing is an in-demand course but it’s not an in-demand job now here in the country.

Anyway, I’ll be trying this med tech course. I know I’m not really good in science, but things can be learned. I’ll be able to wear uniforms like that too; they’re not really much of the different at all right. What matters are our passion, and our goal. Anyway, since I've mentioned those nursing scrubs, you can see more of them at http://www.blueskyscrubs.com/categories/Scrubs/Scrubs-for-Women/.

Grad Mad

2011-04-14T21:29:00.003+08:00

It’s been more than a week after our graduation. I can’t really believe ~~Mr. Time~~. He just passed by so quickly. And before we knew it, summer will already end. Oooh, yes, I was not able to post graduation pictures. Maybe I’ll take this time.

Great! I was not also able to tell the story. So I’ll just point out the best parts. One of them would be receiving my diploma. I was really smiling. I felt like I’m the only person there. Best part also would be the finale. There were fireworks. Yes. It was wonderful. I was having a bad time about it because I saw some of them preparing those “kwitis”. I thought they were going to use them. But it was great, they did not. XD It was fun. Also, the after-graduation-we-went-up-the-stage scheme. I realized this after that, we were so selfish. Others want to went up the stage too, but we stayed there for how long. Anyway, I'll never forget those moments.

Anyway, remember this contest, Chiminess First Major Contest? It’s going to end soon—on April 17. There’s still time to help me. Just visit my post and know more about what you can do. Thanks in advance!

And everyone, I’m also promoting Panache Online. It’s an online magazine and I’ll be part of it. You can also request to become part of the crew. Just visit this page. Hope to hear from you soon!

Bye March!

2011-04-03T22:12:00.003+08:00

So now it’s already April. Our graduation is getting nearer. Only ~~three days left~~! Mmmm, now I feel this feeling of longing for my classmates though given that we still have these times left. April 5 would be our graduation. It would be so memorable I know.

So to give updates, our group in Research, Group 4 was given the awards of “Best in Oral Defense” and “Best in Research Paper” during our recognition. Sweet neh! One of my classmates told me she saw me jumping out of excitement when I heard our group being called. Yes, I’m so glad.

Me and my Groupmates receiving our certificate

Also, I submitted my first LookBook entry. (^_^) I’m glad. Hope you like it. I don’t know when it would be updated again though. Just watch out. I’ll blog about it

And then, I have also decided that most of my post here in PixieChronicle.bs.com would be about more about personal things. Movie/Book reviews, and much about other things wuld be posted on my other blog. I plan to make PixieHeart.info active this summer so I’m hoping for your support. I have also posted there “My Top Three Summer Must Haves”, might want to read it. And Ate Yesh of SweetPosh is holding a contest for another batch of Sweetposh Babies. Join our family. Check out this post.

Oops, by the way, I’m going crazy about watching movies these days. If you have any movie recommendations, I would love to know them. Any genre would do. But think about it, I guess I’m getting into romantic drama, and inspirational films. So, I’m looking forward it. Thanks.

The Notebook (2004)

2011-03-28T21:57:00.001+08:00

I’m ~~SICK~~. Urgh! For those who are following me in Twitter, maybe you already know this. And you know the reason? It’s me, watching “The Notebook”, a so romantic movie directed by Nick Cassavetes, based on a book written by Nicholas Sparks. I watched it last Saturday, at about 12 midnight. So I already sleep between 1:30 – 2:00 am the next day. And the next thing I knew, I’m already ill. I can’t stop ~~coughing~~ and ~~sneezing~~.

Anyway, the movie is TOTALLY worth it. I watched it because I watched “A Walk to Remember” with my friends last week. It’s also a book turned to movie written by Sparks.

So, The Notebook, it tells the story of two young souls who feel crazy in love with each other—Noah and Allie. Noah made Allie experienced everything she never thought of doing, like laying down on the middle of the road and watching the stop lights change, and other things (I really don’t want to spoil the whole lot), which spells freedom on Allie’s side. But soon, everything will fall apart. Noah, being poor, and Allie, being rich, made their love collapsed. The next events proved the power of their love, creating miracles beyond time and science.

What do I think of The Notebook? (WARNING! May contain spoilers)

Uhm, it’s not recommend for young watchers. Yeah! Nevertheless, the story is awesome. I mean, how they met in the carnival, it was like, Love at First Sight, and funny. Yet, I never believe in such love at first sight. I mean it’s crazy. For you to love someone when you just saw him once and that’s it. Anyway, I’m a fan of those. I mean in movies, in those romantic films. And look at how their love developed, in just a short span of time. Maybe it’s because I love fantasies, that’s why I love it. It’s such a wonderful gift if someone would experience it. Well, I want to experience something like that. I think it would be one of the happiest things I would experience. And not just that. Noah is such a sweet and thoughtful man, having him dedicate his life for Allie, even though they’re already old, his love never ceased. I wonder if I’ll find someone like him.

Go, watch it! Watch the “The Notebook”.

I Will Join Earth Hour

2011-03-25T22:08:00.001+08:00

I will participate on Earth Hour.

So what is Earth Hour?

"Earth Hour is a simple act that emphasizes both the ease and importance of adopting energy-efficient practices and lifestyles. Given ever-increasing energy demands, we must be mindful of the need to control human-induced global warming by adopting smarter and more responsible energy practices.”

~ Director Atty. Gia Ibay, Earth Hour National, leads the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF-Philippines) Climate Unit

Earth Hour is about addressing the effects of Climate Change in our world by a 60 minutes switch off. It will be on Saturday, March 26, 2011, at 8:30 – 9:30 pm. Everyone around the globe is encourage to cooperate. For Filipinos, there would be a main switch off event on the Mall of Asia Globe Area at 6pm on March 26. I hope I could go but my family already planned to stay at home and to participate by switching off the light all over the house and have a candlelight dinner to spend the time.

Anyway, do you know that the Philippines topped global Earth Hour participation levels for both 2009 and 2010. Ten million Filipinos in 647 towns, cities and municipalities switched off in 2009, while 15 million Filipinos in 1076 towns and cities joined the 2010 switch-off. Over a billion people from 128 countries participated in Earth Hour 2010 – marking it as the largest environmental event in known human history.

But it’s not always about the number right? We have to instill the true meaning of Earth Hour in our heart, which is to reduce our consumption of power, water and other critical resources.

You, will you join the Earth HOUR?

At 8:30 PM on Saturday 26th March 2011, lights will switch off around the globe for Earth Hour and people will commit to actions that go beyond the hour.

With Earth Hour almost upon us, our thoughts are with the people of Japan during this incredibly challenging and sad time for their country.

日本の皆さん、勇気を持って頑張って下さい

Joining Chiminess First Major Contest

2011-03-23T10:56:00.011+08:00

Yes, that’s right. I’m joining a contest. And hope you’ll help me here for it'll be a point system.

I’m joining Chiminess First Major Contest. Hurray! Wow, this gets me excited. These days, I blog no often because of loads of works from school—requirements, clearance, projects, the prom, graduation, etc., but now, I worry no more, I’m about to graduate on April 5. Aw, just think of it as my graduation gift. (^_^) Nonetheless, during summer, I’m more active in blogging. Think about those free times I have. *grin* Mmm, what really caught my attention is the Geo Contact Lens. So much to aspire for the top neh?! Anyway, my mom doesn’t want me to have those, but if I’ll get it as a prize, it can serve as an excuse. Sorry mom for thinking this way! m(-_-)m

But seriously, I’m in need of money. Since I’m graduating, next school year, I would be in college. It’s my resolution to do things that would help my parents financially. I realized that it’s not all about me I should care, for the money I’m saving and everything. Before, I used to ask for money for every little thing I need. Some which were not essential were included. Now I feel so guilty. I started walking from the school to the house. This way, I save more. I remember when I used to ride the tricycle eventhough the place is just near. I began thinking about how much money would be saved if I didn’t do that. Now, I know, every single coin counts. Bakit nga ba ngayon ko lang ito naisip?! Actually, I’m not really using the money I have saved from winning from other contests before. I’m really saving them, so I could only use them for emergencies. So even any place, I would be glad if I would win.

So guys, I need your help. Please help me win this. You can do the following:

Post about this contest on your blog, with the title, "I’m helping Marinella on Chiminess First Major Contest!". I guess you can just copy this text file (from Deann) as well. It’s worth 10 points.

Join the contest. Use Marinella Rose as your referrer. Visit the official contest page HERE. It would really be a big help. It’s worth 30 points.

Promote this contest in your blog/site. Make a post about this contest and invite them to participate. Unlike the other one, here, you would promote the contest in your own words. Don't forget to backlink, Chiminess.com:Chimiyuki's Paradise prizes!

Follow this tumblr account. It’ll be 2 points. Don't FORGET to tell me if you did.

Like this Facebook Page, I am a Blogger and Your Angelic Shop. Don't forget to comment you FB name. (30 points)

Subscribe to Chiminess e-mail subcription. It is located on the lower right part of her page. On the footer part. It would be worth 5 points.

It looks like this.

JS Prom 2011

2011-03-22T00:27:00.000+08:00

LAST JS PROM.

Saturday, March 19, 2011

It’s my last JS Promenade for highschool today. Kinda late, but I should prepare myself right?! Yes, everyone should do the same thing. Before the actual event, I already had my manicure and pedicure with my mom. It’s great. Serves as our bonding too. I chose something noticeable, the red one. I may look like someone wicked, but I think it’s hot and I love it. I’m still wearing it today.

Me and my NAILS

The day of this affair, I already had my hair fixed at 12 noon. Prom will start at 6 pm and I plan to go there at 5. Anyway, my make-up and hair was done at around 4 and I love my look.

I went to my classmate’s house first. We planned to meet everyone there and we’ll all go at the school together. Excellent, I already had my first glance on their dress and look. Cameras. Cheez! We went to school together with everyone. There were lots of people already but no worries, I really felt great that day.

Me and my GOWN

We didn’t have any practice on our entrance at all. Not-so-great right. But I didn’t let it ruin my night. Although we we’re kind of disappointed because we’re scold a bit because we don’t know what should we do, when we were not instructed anything, I still gave my best smile.

So we had the program followed. The cotillion. They introduced those who were part of it, including their dresses, and they danced the cotillion on a modern way. Just think about how those students dance in Highschool Musical. So close to that.

The prophecy for the future. It was kinda long. Not the usual speech. Took almost half of the hour. I felt sorry for the juniors.

Speech of our Directress. I’m not being bad, just sharing my feelings. It kinda ruined my day when she scolded us about how we should just sit down. It’s not just about me, but I know the feeling of those others who were already bored to death after sitting for three hours when we’re supposed to be dancing already.

Dinner time. The dinner was fairly distributed. Yes, so even. Eventhough we’re on a buffet style, so I was hoping I could atleast only eat what I want. But when we’re given two slices of chicken, piece of hamonado and something I do not really it, I was dissatisfied. I tried telling them if instead I could have the other slice of hamonado (my favorite) in exchange for the broccoli something… they refused. I was being selfish with food but I guess it’s because I’m already hungry.

the Monster Brocolli

Search for Mr. and Ms. JS Prom. I don’t know, but at this point, we’re all, I mean, everyone was already bored and upset. To tell you, the whole thing ended at 11 pm. I’m happy that 50 percent of the awards were won by our section, but seriously, this is another matter.

Dance. Screw that stupid program. I’m DISAPPOINTED much. We just have one hour left to dance. I danced some of my classmates, lucky that I managed. But still, everyone was complaining how they were not able to dance some of us.

Most of us were disappointed in this ~~PROM~~. In our last Prom. But atleast, it did make me felt great. I was kinda hoping next year, they would atleast consider us first before the program. It’s us who should enjoy them, not their visitors.

I'm with my friends

Control and Budget

2011-03-21T00:17:00.002+08:00

I’m part of the graduating class. That means, next school year, it’ll be another world for me. Everything will start all over again. With no one I know, and no friends at all. College is another journey I must continue.

I would enroll in a university next month. Whew! Expenses again. This time, I told myself, I should be able to help my parents now. I’m not a child anymore. I should atleast be able to help a little. I can make use of a budget worksheet to help me with my everyday expenditure. BUDGET. Yes, that’s the best solution one can do.

A college student is someone independent. That’s what I have in mind. I should be flexible enough to go with the flow of what is to come. I’m planning to go to a dorm. That means, more ~~FREEDOM~~ yet more needs in controlling your finances. This is something of value because you need to budget personal, and school related finances. Anyway, if one would focus more, and set their goals, it would be a lot easier, right?!

In any case, money, it is very valuable. Learn to budget. Learn control.

Graduation, Nearly Here

2011-03-03T12:29:00.004+08:00

It’s already March. Only 4 weeks left and I’ll be ~~graduating~~ in Highschool. Aw, I’ll really miss my friends here in school. I’m already compiling our videos and pictures so I can make a DVD to keep forever. Anyway, the videos are taking too much disk space in my pc. It’ll be the best remedy to this.

So next week, we’ll be having our defense for our IP. I know, another defense. Urgh! It’ll make my head aches again. And, this coming Friday, which is already tomorrow, we will be having our Turn-Over Camp. It’ll be an overnight camp because our GS adviser told us we should not pursue the Three Day one because everyone will be busy this month. Anyway, we’re also busy so we did agree with the proposition.

Also, on Monday, we’ll have our last Speech for English. Every quarter, we were required to make a speech about a certain topic given to us. And, it’ll be the last one. I’ll really miss it. But, my schedule is really packed. We’ll also have Long Tests on Monday.

Okay, so I guess I’ll see you all next week. I have to manage my time. A little after this, I’ll be going to my classmate’s house to attend our meeting for the defense. Wish us luck!

Anyway, I just want to share this picture. It was taken during our last SR (Spiritual Reading) in SLK last Tuesday, March 2, 2011.

And here’s also the things I got during ESGP’s first Anniversary. So cool I got them all. Anyway, I was not able to take home an album. Too bad for me. Anyway, I had lots of fun

Defense is Over

2011-02-16T21:39:00.001+08:00

Defense if OVER!

O-V-E-R! And that’s a good thing. My group’s hardship also paid off when the panelist told us that our thesis paper was the best among those they have seen. I was clapping so hard when they said it. And, not to mention that they didn’t ask us any question at all. We really prepared for questions but atleast that means that we really did a good job making it.

Atlast, I can go home early everyday again. I can go back to my daily routine. That’s what I thought.

But because Third Grading is almost over, I just realized that we should start making our school’s newspaper for this quarter. I submitted my article way back before our Christmas Party, that why, I can focus on designing the newspaper’s layout. Mmm, that means I have to stay at school after class again.
Anyway, I love my job. I love keeping myself busy. Also, I borrowed a book from Alexa. Its title is “True Grit” by Deborah Meroff. I find it pretty much interesting.

This is a simple yet powerful guide to women's issues around the world. Meroff tells the inspiring true adventures of nine ordinary women, both married and single, who are making a difference in such places as Tajikistan, India, Egypt, and Lebanon. Brief fact files between stories highlight global abuses of girls and women, such as female infanticide, child brides, sex trafficking, girl soldiers, female circumcision, and honor killings. This book not only raises awareness of global issues but points out simple ways in which we can help turn the tide for women worldwide.

A Week Before Oral Defense Week

2011-02-12T06:15:00.001+08:00

Rsearch Defense on Monday. Here’s what happened this week.

We were given less homework because the teachers knew that on Monday would be our Oral Defense. Nonetheless, we’re still busy. Nothing has changed. During free time, I would use the laptop and fix our powerpoint (which luckily, I finished yesterday), or grub my research paper copy and review my part and learn every words by heart.

Usually, after school, I would go home, do my assignments, use the computer, and then sleep. But now, after school, we would have a meeting which will lasts until 7 pm, and then right after that, I’ll sleep at home right away. Luckily, I would wake up between 1 -2 pm so I was still able to do some assignments and tasks I ought to do.

Mmm… I miss my daily routine. After this, we’ll celebrate. Hahaha! Let’s all do our best groupmates.

A Little Help for Photographers

2011-02-07T23:01:00.002+08:00

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of PhotoFlashDrive by Pexagon Technology. All opinions are 100% mine.

Lately, I have been addicted to photography. I love taking shots, I love taking photos. My favorite subject: NATURE. It’s amazing how these natural things occur in this world. They’re so amazing. Now I want to travel around the world so I could take a shot on every country’s scenic spots. Well, but then, I love taking videos too, and guess what, they’re taking so much space in my computer. I’m planning to compile them in a DVD soon but now, I’m thinking of using flash drives for photographers. I discovered that this kind of thing exists, with high memory capacity and you can personalize them with your design or logo. Mm, maybe I can ask my father to buy me something like this.

ESGP Anniversary

2011-02-03T22:18:00.003+08:00

During the KPop Nation, my friend Yoora and I were invited to attend ESPG's first Anniversary. ESPG stand for ELF Sorority Group Philippines. It's the first time I'll attend a fan group anniversary so I'm looking forward it.

Check out ESPG's website HERE.

Pizza Fever

2011-02-01T08:00:00.007+08:00

This post brought to you by TABASCO® Original Red. All opinions are 100% mine.

Hmm, my mom prepared some pizza today. Even though she’s always busy in work, she always had her time making them. I’m so grateful having her as my mom. I know teaching is not easy as it sounds, you have to make lesson plans everyday and of course have the patience needed for those naughty students. But it’s worth the hard work.

Anyway, now she’s planning to teach me her pizza recipe. She said we should prepare the ingredients firsthand and to notforget one of the most important items, the sauce,TABASCO® Original Red. I discovered it can enhance the flavor of every food, with 3-years of aging process. It’s "so much more than hot", perfect for people who just love spices on their pizza and other snacks, a great deal for Pizza Perfected Oooh! Yummy!

She said we can do it on weekends. So ideal while watching television with the family especially now that it’s football season. My brother is excited much. Too bad my father won't be with us. Mmm, nevertheless, I’m thinking now of a Game-Day Party Menu. Best pick right?! So I guess I better prepare myself for an exciting weekend.

Water Dexterity - Camp Day 2

2011-01-31T21:07:00.005+08:00

This is the part 2 of my camping experience.

After the non-stop rain that ruined our campfire, turned to a hair-raising camp Bravery Test, now we’re having our Water Dexterity.

So what’s supposed to happen during our Water Dexterity?

Anyway, I’m happy for my co-officers, it seemed like they had fun. Anyhow, I enjoyed myself too. Just watching them enjoy themselves pleased me. As a proof, here are the pictures taken during that day:

Basically, we should be having activities related to water, like water volleyball, sisid piso, water dodgeball and other more. Actually, I was assigned to lead then in water dodgeball. Our GS adviser also volunteered to teach the basics in swimming.

But again, everything went against the plan. The girls went swimming when they arrived on the resort, Villanueva Resort. We decided then to pursue the activity after an hour. I’m not feeling well that day so I chose not to swim with them. I just enjoyed myself splashing water on my feet and face, and prepared some materials that will be needed for the activities to follow.

After an hour, the officers went back to our table and said they were already hungry. I guess they were already tired from swimming, so eventhough I’m still full, though its noon already, I helped myself with some rice and viand.

I rest for a while and slept. And when I woke up, I realized that those activities will not be fulfilled anymore. They already used the materials which were supposed to use. Urgh! For our members, I know it may be disappointing on their part. They’re expecting for those activities yet we failed them. While writing this, I realized that it’s only those officers who had fun back then. The other scouts were just swimming to their heart’s content and aside from that they’re doing nothing at all. I guess the essence of our Water Dexterity was not met.

The disadvantage of being the photographer was that I was not able to capture a picture of myself during that event. Haizt! At any rate, looking at those still makes me remember the memories during this event. That’s what counts the most.

Bravery Test - Camp Day 1

2011-01-27T19:04:00.002+08:00

Good day sweetie!

I’m now officially back from the camp. I know, it’s been a week already. I’m still having a hang over here.
So basically, the camp I attended was just a local school camp. We just did it in the school. It started raining when I arrived there with my Uncle and brother who were in the good mood that day went with me. I made them buy my dinner, snacks and other things I was not able to buy because as I have said, I’m not prepared yet.

The RCSM, the school which we had our joint-camp with was already there, fixing the tents which we were supposed to use that day. Unfortunately, the rain was so heavy that day that we were advised to stay in the building for the whole night. So that means we have to change the whole program for the first day of the camp.
Our ~~camp fire~~ should be held that day but because of unexpected events, we decided to move it for the next day. What we did was to pursue the remaining activity left, the Bravery Test.

GS Officers during the camp
try searching for me there...

After the ceremony, the rest of the characters who were needed for the activity prepared themselves, and yes, I’m one of them. We put some make-up and used some DIY blood. The story of the Bravery Test goes like this:

Elizabeth was a young doll owned by Christine. She was loved and cared for until the day that three new dolls were given to Christine on her birthday party, namely, Eleonor, Marian, and Vanessa. Suddenly, every child present in the party started dying one by one.

So actually, you’ll never expect what really happened to them. I am confused with the story too, and the rest of the story was really puzzling. I won’t say it anyway, you may be disappointed with what really happened.

So I’m one of the dolls, I’m Elizabeth. Hehehe! I just don’t look like much of a doll because I don’t have a costume fitted for my role unlike the other characters. But what I brought, they said, was just okay for my role because I’m supposed to be a rugged doll by then. So I guess everything worked out. Many of them were scared during the activity proper. Hmm, we don’t looked really scary, right! But I’m just a bit guilty because I heard two of those who took the bravery test had a trauma. We’re really sorry! We didn’t mean too.

Here’s some pictures taken for the Bravery Test.

I'm not on those picture though. Don't try looking for me there. (^_^)

No one guessed the right killer though some had their say why they chose that particular answer. Ooh, I’m really glad that everyone had fun during that night. I’m happy that RCSM enjoyed themselves on their first night of stay here in our school. They slept well though.

So, that ends the day 1 of our camp. Stay tuned for the part 2.

Oh, and before I forget, I just wanna say that I'm part of those who were to be awarded as Chief Girl Scout Medalist. That's the highest honor a Girl Scout could receive. Information about this would be posted on my next post. (^_^)

Three-Day Out

2011-01-20T20:58:00.001+08:00

We’ll be having out three-day camp tomorrow. I know, I may miss using this computer for a while and I may miss bloghopping. But as far as I can remember, I never miss using these things when I’m on a camp. I’m busy during those times that I never had time thinking of other things. Hehe! However, this camp may be a little different. We’ll be doing this together with the other school. I know I may be rude but, I don’t really enjoy my time with them. Maybe it’s because they don’t have the same training we underwent. We have some different views on things too. I know it’s not easy but we have to fill those gaps. I hope this camp will solve this.

So for now, I need to prepare my things. Haven't done it yet. I'm pretty busy with so much preparations for the aid event.

Anyway, I just registered my blog in Networked Blogs. Hope you’ll follow me here. Have fun blogging.

Top 10 Harry Potter Mythical Creatures

2011-01-19T23:26:00.001+08:00

Who's been watching Harry Potter here? Or better yet, who have read it books? If you have already done any of those, maybe you have encountered the following mythical creatures. Here are the list of the Top 10 Mythical Creatures as voted by the audience.

I love Harry's stag, Fawkes and Buckbeak. Hehehe! It's just that I want them for real. Anyway, congratulations to Dobby, the house elf who was gained most votes. He's wicked but he did a noble thing.

"Here Lies Dobby, a Free Elf."

It Started with A Uniform

2011-01-19T22:58:00.001+08:00

My uncle is a nursing student. That’s why I always see him wear a hospital nurse uniform. It looks so white and can be stained easily. I don’t know how nurses handle them. But then, when we had this short play for this subject, we needed to have medical uniforms for costume. When I asked him if I could borrow it, he agreed easily.

I was not the one who wore it. It was my classmate who was acting as a doctor. Anyway, the suit looks like a doctor uniform. It was then that I realized that a medical uniform looks great. I guess from then, I started dreaming of being able to wear one.

Maybe that a dream just starts like that. Then it becomes a hope and becomes a goal for the future. What do you think?

The 13th Sign of the Zodiac

2011-01-15T20:57:00.003+08:00

Have you heard about the news? There's a new zodiac sign. It's called Opiuchus, the Serpent Bearer.

Opiuchus, considered by some as the 13th sign of the zodiac is making its way in the news these days. It's because since there's a new sign, it means that there'll be new other signs assigned for some people. Well, unfortunately, I'm one of them.

Actually, I have come to like Leo. And seriously, I really think that I'm suited for a Leo. But now, does this means I'm shifting from Leo to Cancer? Anyway, I heard that this may not really affect you at all, especially those who don't believe about what their zodiac signs tell about them. If you slept as a Leo (like me), you'll still probably end up as a Leo again.

Mmm, I'm wondering now if they would put this sign in the newspapers' Horoscope section. Mmm... what do you think?

So anyway, here's the new zodiac assignment

ARIES = April 19 - May 13
TAURUS = May 14 - June 19
GEMINI = June 20 - July 20
CANCER = July 21 - Aug 9
LEO = August 10 - September 15
VIRGO = September 16 - October 30
LIBRA = October 31 - November 22
SCORPIO = November 23 - November 29
OPHIUCHUS = November 30 - December 17
SAGITTARIUS = December 18 - January 18
CAPRICORN = January 19 - February 15
AQUARIUS = February 16 - March 11
PISCES = March 12 - April 18

Dynamite

2011-01-03T18:48:00.009+08:00

While I was with my classmate, I heard Dynamite ( by Taio Cruz ) being played. Then the first thing that hit my mind was Elmo Magalona. He sang it during the Candy Fair and that’s when the song became one my favorite. Hahaha! When I said my thought out loud, I heard my classmates, Alexa saying the same thing. She and Vanessa, my friends who went with to the fair, became Elmo’s fan since the fair. And unknowingly, I think I became one too. I just realized it then.

Elmo Magalona on Candy Fair 2010

Listen to it:

Happy New Year

2011-01-01T03:07:00.002+08:00

Happy New Year guys! It's currently 1.1.11 now. Looks like a good number huh! Anyway, just want to share what I found about the number 11.

New York City has 11 letters
Afghanistan has 11 letters.
Ramsin Yuseb (the terrorist who threatened the Twin Tower in 1993)
George W Bush has 11 letters.
New York is the state 11.
The first plane crashing against the Twin Towers was flight no 11.
Flight 11 was carrying 92 passengers. 9 + 2 = 11
Flight 77 which also hit Twin Towers, was carrying 65 passengers. Add this 6+5 = 11
The tragedy was on September 11, or 9/11 as it is now known, 9 + 1 + 1 = 11
The date is equal to the emergency number 911. Adding 9+1+1+= 11.

And...

The total number of victims inside the planes were 254. 2 + 5 + 4 = 11
The day September 11 is day number 254 of the calendar year. Again 2 + 5 + 4 + = 11. Leaving 111 days left in the year.
The tragedy of 3/11/2004 in Madrid also adds up to 3 + 1 + 1 + 2 + 4 = 11.
The tragedy of Madrid happened 911 days after the Twin Towers. 9+1+1= 11

Sounds creepy huh! Anyway, hope this year will bring us good luck lads. Have a prosperous new year everyone!

Barbie and the Three Musketeers

2010-12-26T00:20:00.003+08:00

Coreen, a country girl from Gascony is aspiring to be Musketeer, protectors of the French Royal family, like her dad. But things are never easy because no girl has ever been a Musketeer. Now, she’s in Paris, with three other girls, Viveca a fashionista, Aramina a dancer, and Renée a violinist, who are chasing the same dreams, and with the aid of an old palace servant, Héléne, they’re about to prove that “True courage is pursuing your dream, even when everyone else says it's impossible.” They’re on their quest to save Prince Louis from an evil plot to kill him. And, as they always say, “All for one, One for all!”

Since I watched my first movie about Barbie, I have always been a fan her films. And this one is the same. I also love this. It’s inspiring, on how Coreen and her friends made their dream come true, although they broke some laws, which were still sorted out in the end. ‘Cause I know, it’s not easy to follow your dreams when you think all the people around do not believe you can achieve it. But of course, there are still people who will motivate you; you just have to look around. It’s thanks to them that we still have this gut to pursue it.

"All for one, one for all!"

The story has also some funny parts. Check out the part when they went to the ball and told their fake names. Listen on what they have to say and I’m sure you’ll laugh at it. Oh, and also, before I forget, one of the reasons why I love it is because I was amazed on how Coreen flips, and swing and do cartwheels in the air, almost in every scene. I know it’s just an animation but I can’t help but wish that I could also do those stuffs.

I know some may think Barbie films are just for kids, but moral lessons are not just for kids, right! And it won’t hurt you if you can be a kid by heart for a moment.

Barbie and the Three Musketeers Trailer
" True courage is pursuing your dream,
even when everyone else
says it's impossible."

The Last Apprentice Book 1

2010-12-21T21:53:00.001+08:00

Young Thomas Ward, the seventh son of the seventh son, is going to start his new life. Not as a farmer anymore, because he'll be on his new job, to be the apprentice of the village spook, whose job is to protect ordinary folk from ghouls, boggarts, and all manner of wicked beasties.

For all he knows, living as the spook apprentice will make his life easier, but he is wrong. He have to deal with a lot different creatures he had never met before and experience the life of being alone. Not only that. Now, a witch by the name of Madam Malkin is off to hunt him from the dead to get his revenge for killing her.

I guess this book is intended for young readers. It's not really for those adults and teenagers out there. But I tell you, this one is a bit spooky. I simply love the illustrations in some pages. It helps me imagine things easier and it adds creepiness while reading it. Everything is clearly described. So I love it! Also, on the last part of the book, the supposed to be journal of Thomas Ward, is included. There you can read his notes about boggarts, witches, everything he learned from his teachings from Spook Gregory, and from his experience, too. That'll be helpful if you'll be reading the next books after this.

The Last Apprentice is a book written by Joseph Delaney. It comprises of 7 books. So since I have read the Book 1: Revenge of the Witch, I guess I MUST keep reading the remaining 6 books. This is the first book I read this Christmas vacation. I still need to read another book to complete my must do list for reading books. On the line is The Last Apprentice : Curse of the Bane, and Crescendo (is the book sequel to Hush Hush). I'm still thinking what should I read first. Though I prefer reading TLA 2, I waited long enough to read Crescendo. I'll weigh things first.

Start of Christmas Vacation

2010-12-15T21:10:00.002+08:00

Hello guys! Hello everyone. I'm glad to announce that this is the start of Christmas vacation for me. We just had our Christmas Party this day, and it was so fun. I was also awarded as "Best Attire" for this event. I'm so glad. Hmmm, 'cause I did make a lot of effort to choose what dress to wear on this day 'cause I know this would be my last Christmas Party in this school, along with my classmates and beloved friends in IV-Rizal.

And because it's my Christmas Vacation, here's a list of my to-do list:

read atleast three (3) books
watch atleast six (6) horror movies (I'm just fond of doing it during free time)
blog a lot
review; and last but actually my priority
celebrate Christmas with my family

If you have any suggestions on what books/movies should I read/watch, please do so. I'm looking forward it.

Anyway, also, tomorrow is teh start of Simbang Gabi. Better get ready and make sure you complete those nine (9) evening masses.

Hush Hush

2010-12-05T10:43:00.002+08:00

For Nora Grey, romance was not part of the plan. She's never been particularly attracted to the boys at her school, no matter how much her best friend, Vee, pushes them at her...until Patch comes along.

With his easy smile and eyes that seem to see inside her, Nora is drawn to him against her better judgment, but after a series of terrifying encounters, Nora's not sure whom to trust. Patch seems to be everywhere she is, and to know more about her than her closest friends. She can't decide whether she should fall into his arms or run and hide. And when she tries to seek some answers, she finds herself near a truth that is far more unsettling than anything Patch makes her feel.

For Nora is right in the middle of an ancient battle between the immortal and those that have fallen - and when it comes to choosing sides, the wrong choice will cost her life.

Due to constant boredom in the house, even though I have many tasks lined up ahead of me, I still managed to read a book. I was able to read “Hush Hush” by Becca Fitzpatrick. This book was recommended to me by my Uncle. He told me that the first three chapters were really interesting and will keep my attention long enough that I will not be able to stop reading this. Well he’s not really exaggerating that much. The book is good enough that it kept me busy reading for hours.

The first three chapters, well, it made me laugh a few times. I’m not into their topic here but I found Patch funny, on his side, and REALLY irritating on Nora’s part. I started imagining things like what would happen if I meet someone like him, I really thought that I’d do better things than Nora did to keep him away from me. Well, he’s irritating.

So anyway, if you have time, you can grab your copy of “Hush Hush”. Maybe you would like this one too.

We Won!

2010-11-23T22:56:00.002+08:00

We won! We are the Cheerdancing Competition Champion. Yupee! Thanks God! Tears just fell down in my eyes when they announced the winners. We thought that we had no chance because we think what we did was not good enough. But I guess we're wrong. Some of our classmates and even those others from the other year levels said what we did was great. But of course, some people doesn't want to accept the truth. They keep saying things like we're from the graduating class so they let us win. But I don't believe in them.

When we watched the video of our performance, we did well. But ofcourse, we can't deny to ourselves that some of us made some mistakes during those time. Anyway, I'll miss our practice. I'll miss those time when Kuya Byron, the assistant choreographer would yell at us when we feel lazy, those times when we would go home late at night for our rehearsals, those times when we're together and laugh together. I'll really miss them. I'll miss those moments. :)

And so, we decided that we would go swimming next Saturday or so and we'll use the cash prize for our foods. And we'll have fun and a lot more. And we'll enjoy the moments once more.

What I just hate about the competition was we used the other side of the court. Urgh! Our moves were really limited. We can’t perform the stunts at its bests, although we are already giving our best. And also, we can’t hear the music properly. Gosh! Maybe they should buy a new sound system. And next time, make sure to use the whole court. Maybe we should have been able to perform better if they did those.
So for now, I’ll rest well. I did not sleep well these days!

I love being busy

2010-11-20T07:03:00.002+08:00

Since I joined our cheering competition, I've been always busy. We practice everyday, after school until 9:00 pm.I know it may be pretty tiring to make your assignments after a day-long rehearsal. Anyway, I still manage to make them. Sometimes, when I have free time in the school, I do my assignments so my time would not be wasted.

Seniors are also required to make their booths for our Foundation Day for our Economics subject. That means another worry for me. They assigned me in the decoration, logo and banner of our booth, which we named "National Booth Store".

Another things in Values, we need to make newspaper about good moral values. And guess what, I was the one assigned to make the layout and write the articles .

*Sigh* It will be a long week, but I know, after this, it will be all worth it. Anyway, I love being busy. It's better than sleeping and doing nothing in the house. Since I was complaining of getting bored before, now here's what I have. So please bear with me if I don't post regularly. My mind gets tired quickly these days.

After this, I'll revamp my place here. But, I'm also thinking of getting my own domain and hosting. Mmm, but if you want to host me or give me a free domain, just do so. just send me a note in my contact form. I would be really happy. (^_^)

To be Busy

2010-11-09T22:45:00.000+08:00

Aw, I’ll be busy these days. I’ve joined the cheering squad of the Fourth Year to compete on our Foundation Day. We’ll be busy practicing from now until the competition.

I’ve joined the cheering squad once when I was a freshman but I decided to not continue after that so I can focus myself on other fields. Now, I decided to join again. I want to become more active this year since it’s my last year in highschool and as much as possible, I’ll join every activities.

Actually, I was chosen to become one of the flyers but I rejected the offer because my mom doesn’t want me. It’s a tough decision for me because I really want to become a flyer and it’s my dream to become one but I know that my mom just wants the best for me. She keeps worrying and telling me what would happen if I suddenly fall during the practice. Ofcourse I don’t want her to worry so I set aside my opinion.

Anyway, I’m happy to be just a dancer. Sometimes it’s tiring but it’s worth it. Hope we’ll win. I’ll cross my fingers.

A Tip to Make it Write

2010-11-05T18:24:00.002+08:00

I really hate it when my ballpen stops writing especially when I have just bought it. I really hate it when it gets clogged. My money was wasted, and the time and effort I gave to buy it was thrashed then. But I hate to toss things away. So, most of the time, I do this trick to make them work again.

You will just need a candle and you’re way to go. Just light up the candle. Next, get your clogged ballpen then heat the tip of it on the blue flames the candle is emitting for a couple of seconds. Then, try to scribble on a piece of paper to free the clog. See if its writing now, if it’s not, repeat the process. Just be sure not to expose it to the flames for a long period of time or the parts of it may melt.

And so, that’s it. I have tried that for a lot of times and it works fine. But sometimes, it the ballpen won’t write the same way before. But atleast, it will write again.

Happy Writing!

If you know other effective ways to make a ballpen clogged-free, just post a comment here.

Happy Halloween

2010-11-01T00:10:00.000+08:00

Happy Halloween everyone!

So hows, your day? Did you celebrate Halloween at all? My uncle told me that Halloween should be celebrated during November 02 because it's all Soul's Day and this event is something related with ghosts souls. But we, he said, have this common practice that we celebrate Halloween before November 01. But I did a little research. Halloween is really celebrated before All Hallows day (mass-day of all saints; November 1).

Halloween is said to have originated from the festival of the dead called Parentalia. It was also linked to the Celtic festival of Samhain. The Celtics believed that during this time of the year, the border between this world and the underworld gets thin thus, allowing spirits, both harmful and not to pass through. Wearing masks and costumes was believed to be their disguise to avoid the harmful ones.

So I guess, this clears it.

Nevertheless, we already celebrated Halloween. I know it would be more especial if my classmates would have it with us together because we didn't have plans to do one anyway. So we just continue with my uncle's Halloween Hut plan.

Yes, we celebrated it in our hut outside the house. We decorated it with paper pumpkins (the one below, I made it), banners, candles and cobwebs. Even our neighbors was complimenting our works. It was a lot of work but worth it. My family ate together there and then we played games, and watched horror films. Of course, we turned the lights off to make everything feel more spooky. And so, we enjoyed it.

Trick ‘r Treat everyone!

Beauty Queen

2010-10-31T05:20:00.004+08:00

What makes a Beauty Queen?

Is it her alluring physique? Her effortless elegance? Or her captivating charm?

I really love this question from GMA 7’s new telenovela Beauty Queen.

The answers given attributes to their physical beauty and charisma. But what really makes it to gain the title of such. I’m not a Beauty Queen. And I don’t join beauty pageants. I don’t really have the beauty they are looking for. I’m just a simple girl who wants to live her life to the fullest.

Some says that beauty queens are born. Yeah, it can be. Because some people gained their beauty from their mother who has the beauty of a queen. Some says that it can be made. Yeah! Because some people just become one because they are willing to do the things needed to have the qualities needed. But, beauty queens can be real queens if they have the will and determination to become one. If they can hold the responsibility of being a model to each and everyone of us. They should not just hold the title but to act as one and they should carry this weight in their shoulder and pass it to the generation to come.

So, what do you think?

The top 4 finalists for Ms. United Nation 2010.

200 Pounds Beauty

2010-10-24T18:36:00.001+08:00

200 Pounds Beauty is a South Korean film about an overweight girl, Hanna with an amazing voice who works as a phone sex employee and ghost singer. She underwent an extreme plastic surgery, from head-to-toe, because of being heartbroken when she learned what her crush, the music company's director, Sang-jun, thinks of her as. Now, she is in disguised as Jenny, a Korean-American from California to become a pop sensation.

My friend introduced this to me during summer but I didn't watch it. During our meeting in my classmate's house, she told us that we should watch this first while waiting for the others to come. And so it happened. We were not able to finish watching it so I watched it in my brother's PSP way after that.

Hanna is talented and her voice is wonderful. But, she can't show her talent to everyone because people tend to judge others most of the time because of their physical appearance. So I guess I can't blame her for having plastic surgery. But I guess, it's also Hanna's fault for being like that. She shouldn't lack discipline on herself. She should learn to control herself in eating, unless she has some sickness that caused her to become like that.

But anyway, I don't recommend plastic surgery to anyone. Although I think it's just fine, being yourself is still the best and appreciated the most. You may think that you don't have the looks, but if you have the guts to show everyone what you've got, then you have proven yourself worthy. If possible, you can still achieve that look in a natural way, right! Just have discipline, respect and acceptance in your body and don't go far beyond your limit just to achieve it.

On the other hand, I really love the song Maria played in this movie. Check out the music here and tell me what you think.

Semestrals

2010-10-20T19:51:00.001+08:00

Currently, I'm busy reviewing for our semestral examination for this week. So far, we have already taken our English, Science, and ICT and tomorrow, we'll be having Mathematics and Filipino. I guess, this time, our English test is the easiest among those tests we have already taken in this subject. And believe me, the test is always unpredictable. Our teacher was not giving us coverage and if he does, only a few items will be related to this.

And yesterday, our class was cancelled because of Super Typhoon Juan. It should be cancelled earlier but of course, our school was still thinking if they will cancel it or not because we only have four hours left before dismissal. Grrr... I recall that once, we still have to attend school eventhough there was typhoon signal no. 2 raised in our place because our directress told us that we only have examinations during that day. I was so irritated during that time but what can I do. Its her awesome decision! But now, it really bother me. What if it starts flooding and like what happened during Typhoon Ondoy, the water raised in a blinked of an eye? I hope something like that won't happen again.

Anyway, I told myself that maybe, because we don't have semestral break (which really sucks), its destined that we won't have classes that day. I'm glad yes, but half-heartedly. Its because Typhoon Juan brought great damage to some provinces in the Philippines. But thanks God nothing really bad is happening here in our place.

And before I go, I want to greet my great friend, Joy for her 16th birthday! She just treat us in Jollibee. I forgot to tell her that I don't really drink softdrinks but because the meal is already there, I just ate everything. But reallly, thank you very much! Thanks for being my friend. Thanks for always being there. Hurray for you and have a happy life forever.

A New Beginning

2010-10-17T02:21:00.002+08:00

Alright! I already changed my layout now. I know I should be making my own now and I've already planned the design but I can't find time to do so, so I just used a layout made by 16thday. Anyway, I like it very much. It's not like my past layout because they usually have pink and brown as their main colors but this time, I'm having black and cream here. But, I did retain the shoutbox's pink color combo on the right column. Don't you think it stands out?

So, these past few days, I've been watching movies. And above all of them, "Phantom of the Opera" stood out. But of course, its a musical film so it did stand out. The movie stars Gerard Butler in the title role, Emmy Rossum as Christine Daaé, as well as Patrick Wilson, Miranda Richardson, Minnie Driver and Jennifer Ellison. If you haven't watch it yet, the story is about an opera ghost who is terrorizing the opera in demand for money while on the other hand, tutoring a chorus girl, Christine. It revolves around how the Phantom show his love to Christine in his own way and how he wants him to keep her for himself.

I'm siding on the Phantom anyway. Although he may be like that, he has his own personal reasons for his behavior. You'll understand me if you watch it so I bet you should really watch it. Aand the musical line, "The Phantom of the Opera, is in my mind." is really echoing in my mind again and again whenever I think about anything. I guess I should be concentrating my mind a little harder on more important things. Argh!

We have already switched from Windows XP to Windows 7. I'm still adjusting here but I'm getting used to it easier than I thought. I'm just having some problems with the computer's built-in card reader. It does not seem to work anymore. The computer won't read the SD card I'm inserting. So, if you know the answer to my computer problem, hope you'll drop some advice on how to fix it. Thanks!

I've Got Flowers Today

2010-10-13T21:19:00.002+08:00

I just want to share one of poems I like (not really because of the situation). I saw it in my bookmark my mom gave me. I didn't realized what is written on it when it was given to me until I used it.

I Got Flowers Today
by Paulette Kelly Â ©1992

I got flowers today!
It wasn’t my birthday or any other special day;
We had our first argument last night;
And he said a lot of cruel things that really hurt;
I know he is sorry and didn’t mean the things he said;
Because he sent me flowers today.

I got flowers today!
It wasn’t our anniversary or any other special day;
Last night, he threw me into a wall and started choking me;
It seemed unreal, a nightmare, but you wake up from nightmares;
And I woke up this morning sore and bruised all over — I know he must be sorry;
Because he sent me flowers today.

I got flowers today!
And it wasn’t Valentines Day or any other special day;
Last night he beat me and threatened to kill me;
Make-up and long sleeves didn’t hide the cuts and bruises this time;
I couldn’t go to work today because I didn’t want anyone to know — but I know he’s sorry;
Because he sent me flowers today.

I got flowers today!
And it wasn’t Mother’s Day or any other special day;
Last night, he beat me up again, and it was much worse than all the other times;
If I leave him, what will I do? How will I take care of my kids? What about money?
I’m afraid of him, but I’m too scared and dependent to leave him! But he must be sorry;.
Because he sent me flowers today.

I got flowers today…
Today was a very special day.– It was the day of my funeral.
Last night, he finally killed me;
If only I would have gathered the courage and strength to leave him;
I could have received help from the Women’s Shelter, but I didn’t ask for their help;
So I got flowers today–for the last time.

Lessons Learned

2010-09-25T20:29:00.004+08:00

One day, the father of a very wealthy family took his son on a trip to the country with the express purpose of showing him how poor people live.

They spent a couple of days and nights on the farm of what would be considered a very poor family.

On their return from their trip, the father asked his son, “How was the trip?”

“It was great, Dad.”

“Did you see how poor people live?” the father asked.

“Oh yeah,” said the son.

“So, tell me, what did you learn from the trip?” asked the father.

The son answered: “I saw that we have one dog and they had four. We have a pool that reaches to the middle of our garden and they have a creek that has no end. We have imported lanterns in our garden and they have the stars at night. Our patio reaches to the front yard and they have the whole horizon.

“We have a small piece of land to live on and they have fields that go beyond our sight.

“We have servants who serve us, but they serve others. We buy our food, but they grow theirs.

“We have walls around our property to protect us, they have friends to protect them.”

The boy’s father was speechless.

Then his son added, “Thanks Dad for showing me how poor we are.”

See, this is not all about the wealth the have. Remember what the Little Prince said, “It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye.” There are things more important than material things, and sadly, we barely notice them. However, as time passes by, we'll later realize how much important they are to us.

A Break

2010-09-10T00:55:00.003+08:00

Hey everyone! Missed me? Hahaha... Just kidding. It's really my fault for not being able to balance my time so I was not able to post something real for the past few weeks. Our teachers are giving us loads of works at the same time these past few days. Sometimes, my classmates and I are wondering if they talked about something like giving us tests on the same days and so on. And we have already started out Programming lessons too. So, far, I'm enjoying it. Do you think I should get Computer Science? (^_^!?

Anyway, I would just like to thanks Cindy for this award on the top. Thanks sis! I really appreciate this.

On the other hand, I've been busy waiting every night to watch a South Korean drama, East of Eden on the television. They already translated it on our language so it would be easy to understand. Nevertheless, I still want to watch the original drama. Ofcourse, it needs to have subtitles so I can understand them (^_^).

Okay, so the plot of the story goes like this:

East of Eden draws on the story of two men, who were born on the same day at the same time at the same hospital, and their crossed destiny and revenge.

At the 1960s, the era of major student protesting activities, Lee Ki Cheol , a front runner of the student protests is thrown into guilt when his lover’s older brother dies instead of him, and he arrives at the coal mining region of Kang Won province.

There, he tries to stop the evil-acts of Shun tae Hwan (Jo Min Ki) of Tae Baek coal station, by organizing a labor union but he is eradicated at the hands of Shin Tae Hwan. Lee Ki Cheol’s oldestson. Lee Dong Cheol (Song Seung Heon) witnessed the event and vows to seek revenge.

Meanwhile, a nurse at Tae Baek hospital, Miae, who suffered violation from Shin Tae Hwan switches Shin’s newborn son with Lee Ki Cheol’s new born son. Thus, Lee Ki Cheol’s son grows up as Shin Tae Hwan’s son Shin Myeong Hoon (Park Hae Jin), while Shin tae Hwan’s son grows up as Lee Ki Cheol’s son Lee Dong Wook (Yeon Jeong Hoon).

Lee Dong Wook is recruited into his older brother Lee Dong Cheol’s revenge plan over their father’s death, and Dong Wook enrolls in law school at the Seoul University and becomes a prosecutor.
Meanwhile, Shin Myeong Hoon is raised as the heir of a conglomerate and Lee Dong Cheol goes over Hongkong to begin a new life as the right hand man of a Korean casino godfather (Yoo Dong Geun).

I think the whole story is really good. I can't wait to know what will happen if the truth about Darren and Frederick will be revealed. Anyway, it's inspiring at the same time. Now I'm really studying hard to pass everything in class. Oh, and yes, they received awards too:

2008 MBC Drama Awards: Grand Prize (Song Seung Hun)
2008 MBC Drama Awards: Female Top Excellence Award (Lee Mi Sook)
2008 MBC Drama Awards: Male Excellence Award (Jo Min Ki)
2008 MBC Drama Awards: Female Excellence Award (Han Ji Hye)
2008 MBC Drama Awards: Male Newcomer Award (Park Hae Jin)
2008 MBC Drama Awards: Female Newcomer Award (Lee Yeon Hee)
2008 MBC Drama Awards: Golden Acting Award (Park Geun Hyung)
2008 MBC Drama Awards: Golden Acting Award (Yoo Dong Geun}
2008 MBC Drama Awards: Golden Acting Award (Shin Eun Jung)
2008 MBC Drama Awards: PD Award (Yun Jung Hoon)
2008 MBC Drama Awards: Special Child Actor Award (Park Gun Tae, Shin Dong Woo, & Nam Ji Hyun)
2008 MBC Drama Awards: Best Couple Award (Song Seung Hun & Lee Yeon Hee)
2008 MBC Drama Awards: Popular Actor Award (Song Seung Hun)
2008 MBC Drama Awards: Popular Actress Award Lee Yeon Hee)
2008 MBC Drama Awards: Writer of the Year Award (Na Yun Sook)

I bet you should watch it too. Anyway, if you're not into these kind of things, I'm not really forcing you, right! So, I guess, that's all for now.

A peculiar witch dashes into the outlook.

Ballpens...

2010-07-13T19:20:00.001+08:00

Woah, long time no posting. I miss my place here but of course, I need to focus a little more in my studies, and when I realized it, I found it hard to find time to post here. I guess I’m not good in managing my time.

Anyway, we have already chosen a topic for our Research study, and we have already started making the first chapter of our study. I was assigned to make the Significance of the Study and Scope and Delimitation and I submitted it the day after they assigned it to me. I want to finish everything right away to avoid cramming. And besides, I’m busy making this certain project to gain extracurricular points. I also joined the most active clubs that I can think about. In the past three years, I joined clubs which I think suits my personalities and hobbies but they’re not really active, so I presume I should just join clubs which will give me more benefits since anyway, I enjoyed the past clubs I joined.

Well, well, well! Stop talking about studying and everything.

I want to share you something.

1. CUTEST BALLPENs. It was given to me by my uncle. My brother and I used to play with these.

2. MOST USED BALLPEN. I use them in taking down notes, writing down my assignments, essays and anything that has something to do with writing (most of the time). In my own opinion, it’s the best ballpen out there. You just have to be careful in handling them and I’m sure it’ll last long.

3. MOST HANDY BALLPEN. I just discovered that such ballpen like this exist. Okay, maybe I’m already outdated. Anyway, it’s really handy for your “erasure means wrong” quizzes.

Weeks

2010-07-01T19:08:00.004+08:00

It’s been three weeks since class has started. I’m beginning to feel the pressure of being a fourth year student. During the first week, we had the usual orientation. I’m tired of this thing every year but somehow, because of this, we’re given lighter tasks. Anyway, we also discussed the new rules and regulations enforced by the student council. Late pupils will have punishments like community service and such.

So last week, we started having proper lessons. We had groupings and were given assignments too (ofcourse). I love my group in all of our subject except in… well… Research. We were grouped there according to our characteristics, (or that’s what our teacher told us) but I can’t think of any traits we share in our group. I really prefer random groupings.

So, speaking of Research, would you mind sharing any good research topic? Anything that can be done inside the campus and would help the students as well. Thanks!

Anyway, I was not able to watch Eclipse yesterday. No one wants to go with me because they're busy and my uncle was not available too. My, I envy those who have already watched it. So for those who have not watched the trailer yet (which I doubt, except if you hate it), here yah go:

So, I may not be able to post something for a while again but anyway, I’ll try my best.

Happy Father's Day

Happy Father's Day

At age 8, your dad buys you an ice cream. You thanked him by dripping it all over his lap.

When you were 9 years old, he paid for piano lessons. You thanked him by never even bothering to practice.

When you were 10 years old he drove you all day, from soccer to football to one birthday party after another. You thanked him by jumping out of the car and never looking back.

When you were 11 years old, he took you and your friends to the movies. You thanked him by asking to sit in a different row.

When you were 12 years old, he warned you not to watch certain TV shows. You thanked him by waiting until he left the house.

When you were 13, he suggested a haircut that was in fashion. You thanked him by telling him he had no taste.

When you were 14, he paid for a month away at summer camp. You thanked him by forgetting to write a single letter.

When you were 15, he came home from work, looking for a hug. You thanked him by having your bedroom door locked.

When you were 16, he taught you how to drive his car. You thanked him by taking it every chance you could.

When you were 17, he was expecting an important call. You thanked him by being on the phone all night.

When you were 18, he cried at your high school graduation. You thanked him by staying out partying until dawn.

When you were 19, he paid for your college tuition, drove you to campus carried your bags. You thanked him by saying good-bye outside the dorm so you wouldn't be embarrassed in front of your friends.

When you were 25, he helped to pay for your wedding, and he told you how deep he loved you. You thanked him by moving halfway across the country.

When you were 50, he fell ill and needed you to take care of him . You thanked him by reading about the burden parents become to their children.

And then, one day, he quietly died. And everything you never did came crashing down like thunder on YOUR HEART.

Love your dad everyone. Show him that you love him and you care for him. A simple "I love You" from his child would mean a lot to him. I love you dad. Again, Happy Father's Day.

Short Update

Alright! Tomorrow is the start of our class. I hope everything will turn our right. I hate ~~embarrassing~~ moments especially on the start of the school year. Sometimes, I think, things like that are bad signs. Don’t you?

Anyway, I’m half-hearted on going to school tomorrow. Ofcourse, I’m happy because I’ll see my classmates and friends whom I didn’t see this summer, but a bit lonely because, you know, summer is ~~ending~~, and my senses are telling me that I didn’t enjoy my life to the fullest during these days. So my summer ended with a bit of out of town trips, internet surfing, blogging, reading of books, playing with my brother, cousin, and my child-at-heart uncle and chatting with you. But hey, my summer is indeed unforgettable.

And, here, I would like to share the list of books I was able to read:

Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan
Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Sea of Monsters by Rick Riordan
Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Titan’s Curse by Rick Riordan
Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Battle of Labyrinth by Rick Riordan
Nightworld 2 : Dark Angel, The Chosen, Soulmate by L.J. Smith
Nightworld 3 : Huntress, Black Dawn, Witch Light by L.J. Smith
Eternal by Cynthia Leitich Smith

Yes I know, I was not able to complete all the series of the book I read this summer. Well, it’s my uncle who was buying them so, in my case, I’m just borrowing them. I’m telling him to complete the series first before start buying another series of book, but he won’t listen and bought The Last Apprentice Book series and yet he refuse complete the book. Anyway, I enjoyed reading those books especially Nightworld 2 & 3.

And now, let’s forget about those books. It is my end of summer post so I would like to thank you, everyone! Thanks for making my summer memorable. Atleast I have someone to talk to whenever I’m home. Thanks for reading my stories and commenting on them. Thanks for the advices, I really appreciate them.

Whew! I feel like I’m going somewhere now and I’ll never come back. Hahaha! Oh, and I guess, if I’ll be busy during school days, I may not be able to blog until Saturday. So, that’s it for now. Thanks again!

College Course

2010-06-09T18:46:00.002+08:00

So, that’s what it means to become busy. Yes, I’m currently busy these days. Our class would start on June 15 and it’s making my head ache. But I'll make sure I'll still update you about things even though we have classes. Well, this school year, I would be a senior student and I guess, that means I should be preparing now for college. The problem is, I’m still undecided on what course I should take.

So, uhm, I guess one should take course which you like. You could also take the course which you think you’re good at. But the best choice is to take a course which you’re good at and you like at the same time. Of course, you should also consider jobs you would be able to get with the course you would take and it would also be great if those jobs are in demand these days.

Anyway, I’m still undecided here. But believe me, I’m taking this seriously because starting from this year and on, my future would depend on it. *inhales deeply* *exhale*

How about you?
What course are you taking/would you take?

Jump off topic!

I just wanna share what happened to us. Yesterday, my uncle and I went to Manila to, uhm, unwind. We went to Baywalk and there we met two kids, about 3-5 years old. They’re sibling and I guess they’re living there. The youngest of them, the girl, asked us if she can have what I’m drinking. I gave her my drinks and then her elder brother came. He was holding a long piece of plywood and two small plastics of peanuts and then he gave the other one plastic of peanuts to her younger sister. Then, the girl asked my uncle to open the plastic of peanuts for her, which he did ofcourse. Now, while, we were having this act of sharing and helping thing, their mother just shouted out of nowhere and told them to go away from us. Then, she waved at them and went near them then dragged the little girl from her shirt, and off they went.

Well, I just thought about this while the little girl came. Actually, I’m so full right then and I can’t stand eating another bite of the snacks I’m eating. Then when she asked me, I felt like, “Hey, why can’t I finish off my food? Out there, there are thousands of people who can’t eat while I’m here wasting them.” And when her brother came, this was what I thought, “Wow, they’re so sweet!” I mean, though they’re still small, the elder one already know how to care for her sister. And he even shared those peanuts to her. And then, when their mother came, “Geez!” That’s all what I want to say. Why did she do that? Why so harsh to her child? They’re still kids, and believe they deserve better.

So, what do you think? Thanks for thanks for listening my story.

On my post about A Dog’s Tale, some people told me that they thought the post is about Hachiko. Actually, when my little brother asked me to watch that clip, I started searching for a site where I can watch the Japanese film about Mari. Then, I stumbled into another dog’s tale here. Yes, about Hachiko.

Hachikō, also known as the “faithful dog Hachikō” was an Akita dog born of a farm near the city of Ōdate, Akita Prefecture. He was remembered for his loyalty for his owner, Hidesaburō Ueno, even after his owner’s death for the next 10 years. Hachiko died on March 8, 1935, on the street of Shibuya. It was found out that his heart was infected with filarial worms and 3-4 yakitori sticks were found in his stomach. His stuffed and mounted remains are kept at the National Science Museum of Japan in Ueno, Tokyo.

Watch the Trailer of Hachiko: A Dog's Tale
I watched this film a little later on, starring Richard Gere. The movie is entitled Hachiko: A Dog’s Story 2010. Maybe, because I already watched the trailer and already know the story, I started getting emotional when Hachiko started following his master on the train station. I hate this! I can’t watch very well, especially when the professor died and Hachi started searching for him and up to the part when he started coming to the station everyday.

Actually, while watching it, I told my mother, “Mom, I want a dog right now.” She just laughed at me. I’m dead serious when I told her that. Anyway, now, a bronze statue is sitting in Shibuya station to commemorate the loyalty and love Hachi showed that inspired the people around him, to motivate the citizens and children of our generations. Now I think dogs are amazing. They give unconditional love to people. They are man’s best friend indeed.

So, here’s another clip of Hachiko Monogatari 1987:

A Story About a Dog

2010-05-29T12:16:00.003+08:00

I’m not a dog lover. I don’t ~~hate~~ dogs but I don’t like dogs either. Same with cats. I have passion for cute things like animals, but I don’t like keeping them. I guess I’m not responsible enough. Anyway, yesterday, my brother asked me to watch something. It’s a video clip (or a summary) of a movie from a 2007 Japanese film based on a true story that happened during the ~~2004 earthquake~~ in Niigata Prefecture, Japan. It’s about a dog named Mari who saved the lives of its owner and her grandpa. So, here’s the clip:

Show/Hide

We’ll you see, while watching the video, I can’t help myself but to cry over what happened. I mean, though Mari is just a dog, she did her best to save them. I mean, she doesn’t have the strength to lift those heavy walls but she kept trying. She gave the grandpa hope to survive.

Just remember the times when you face challenges and told yourselves that “It’s impossible”. You didn’t do anything yet, but you already said that you’ll fail. You haven’t even tried it but you already decided what will happen. In the end, you’ll just feel regrets. Regret because you didn’t experience it. Regret because you may succeed on it. Regret because of many more reasons. You had the chance but you didn’t grab it. And now you’ll wonder if you’ll have another change like that. Remember, nothing is impossible, ‘cause the word itself says "I'm possible!"

Humans like us have our own flaws. We’re not perfect beings. Same with the dog, Mari. She’s not strong enough, yes! Because she’s just a dog. No! She’s Mari, a friend who, despite of her weaknesses tried her best to help.

So, the video clip came from a movie entitled “A Tale of Mari and Three Puppies”. I can’t wait to watch it. Maybe I’ll watch it tomorrow or the next day but I’ll make sure to watch it this week.

Candy BFF Camp Year 2

2010-05-23T10:47:00.008+08:00

I went to Candy BFF Camp – Year 2 in The Rockwell Tent last Saturday, May 22, 2010.

It’s my first time being in such event so, I don’t know what to expect. I’m with one of my bestie, Shiela. So, the first thing we did was to stand near the entrance because we were too shy to approach anyone and to ask someone what we should do. And since nobody was approaching us either, we decided to go somewhere where we can buy refreshments. Aside from Starbucks, every establishment near the place was close so we have no choice, I guess, but to go to Starbucks. We’re on a tight budget right now so we just ordered Iced Tea.

the Red Ribbons

So, after a while, we went back to the area and the registration has already started. We were given red ribbons and stamped a ladybug on our wrists. We were also given stubs, map of the place, stickers, pins and nametags. We went inside after a while and what caught my attention in the entrance door were three posters, or something of some sort, of Taylor Lautner, Rob Pattinson, and Kristen Stewart in the cover of Candy Magazine. So, anyway, I took pictures of it because I really want to have them and if I can I would grab them when no one was looking.

Anyway, the best part has already started. We were asked to gather around the stage, and then told us to look for our Rangers, with the color that matched our ribbons that was given us back in the entrance. So, if I’m not mistaken, our Camp Rangers were Kuya Yuri and Kuya Ryan. After a while, we stated our oath for our bestie and our tribe which we named T-Redor and the other tribe as well were tasked to make their own pledge. We made our own cheers as well after lunch. Though we didn’t win in the first and second tasked for each tribe, I’m still happy because everything seems so fun.

T-Redor Tribe Oath

The scavenger hunt for Jergen’s product started. Our Camp Rangers who looked so down and all after our lose lifted their spirits during the game. And of course, everyone in our tribe did our best to do our best to find the products. And we’re missing only one product, and Anti-Bacterial thingy. We searched for anyone who can trade with us, and also searched for any place left unsearched for the product. Anyway, when our Camp Rangers came back with the product, another tribe has finished the task first. Another downfall for us. But still, everyone cooperate in the game and I think, that’s what counts.

So, another best part for me was when Caronia dance troupe taught us their dance moves. Well, the dance was easy to understand but I guess, somewhat hard to perform since the music was fast and they did not give us a bit of moment with the chorus of the music that will play all of the sudden. Actually, when the dance showdown started, it’s the Camp Rangers who’s keeping us alive in every moment. They lead the showdown and were the one who keeps our mad moves livelier with their crazy stunts. When the Camp Rangers went to the stage as requested by most of us, I clapped my hands to the extreme to show my support.

We were also taught some basic tips with a professional photographer from Nikon. I listened intently because I’m so interested in what he was saying. Scrapbooking was also one of my favorite thing in the world, so when we were tasked to make a scrapbook with our bestie, Shiela and I tried our best to make our scrapbook decent enough.

Prizes were also raffled like the poster I was eyeing in the entrance door. I was trying my best to stand up faster than the other but I guess, because we were beside the stage, only those in front of stage were noticed by the hosts. But I’m happy, (and a bit jealous) to the pair of bestie who won the Jacob and Edward poster but I guess, they deserve it at all.

And then, the Candy BFF Camp (Year 2) ended with a big hug from my bestie and a hug from me to her.

Harry Potter

2010-05-17T17:16:00.002+08:00

I hope I could visit The Wizarding World of Harry Potter Theme Park in Orlando, Florida on its opening on June 18. Of course, I want to know what it feels like when entering a place you have read in the books and watched in the movie.

Hogsmeade village entrance of the Wizarding World of Harry Potter Theme Park, marked by a bricked-arch with a metallic sign post for the town.

I learned all about Harry Potter when I was in Grade Six. I'm just ten years old back then. I always see my classmates, Dika and Thistel talking about Harry Potter. They are talking about Daniel Radcliffe and reading thick books which are Harry Potter books of course. I love reading stories, especially stories in relation with magic and fairy tales. I thought that my classmates were becoming weird because Dika started collecting Harry Potter stickers and listing all the things which she finds amusing in the books like characters, spells, and magical things.

Now I know why in this world they are doing that. HP is so fascinating. Actually, HP series was the first book series I started to collect. And HP book was the book that leads me to start reading other novels. Well, it's not the first novel that I read. The first one was entitled "The Witch Trade" by Michael Molloy. I also love that book but it never occur to me that I would like to read another novel after reading that.

Now, do you ever wonder how did I finally choose to read it?

Well, it's just a co-incidence. My mom and I went in National Bookstore. She was busy buying school supplies while I was busy exploring the shelves in the scrapbook corner. It just happened that near the scrapbook's corner were small shelves where the latest and featured books, or maybe popular once were located. I looked at it and saw this book with the title, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. I became curious. I read the introduction on the back cover and I remembered my classmates. I looked for Harry Potter and the Sorcerers Stone but I ~~can't~~ ~~find~~ any book with that title there. I bought the book and read it though I know its the book 2 of the series.

Movies to Watch

2010-05-10T17:51:00.005+08:00

Letters To Juliet is an enchanting love story -- a tale of encountering new sparks and rekindling old flames. When Sophie (Amanda Seyfried), a young American, travels to Verona, Italy -- the romantic city where Romeo first met Juliet -- she meets a group of volunteers who respond to letters written to Juliet seeking romantic advice. Sophie finds and answers a letter that has been lost for 50 years, and is stunned when its author Claire (Vanessa Redgrave) arrives in Italy with her handsome but overprotective grandson (Christopher Egan) to find the fiance she left decades before. Fascinated by Claire's quest, Sophie joins them on an adventure through the beautiful hills of Tuscany searching for Claire's long lost Lorenzo. The journey will change their lives forever, as they discover it's never too late to find true love.

I almost cry when I watches its trailer. on its Official Website, during the part when Claire saw Lorenzo. I guess the story touched my heart. I will be sure to watch it. Oh, and by the way, when you watch "Letters to Juliet" on theaters, you'll be able to watch the brand new theatrical trailer for The Twilight Saga : Eclipse. I can't wait to see Jacob and Edward again. (^_^)

Im Out in the House

2010-05-05T17:46:00.002+08:00

Alright! So, we went to our relative’s place somewhere in North Luzon to celebrate their fiesta. We stayed in their house for three days and two nights. The trip lasted for four hours when we went there, but when we went home, it just took us two hours because of something about the speed of our car.

The things we did? The usual things you do when you go to fiesta. Eat, talk, and have fun. So, I just want to say I don’t really like the idea of staying in someone else house simply because you’ll have to stay with other people. I mean, aside from the usual people you meet in your house, you’ll be with people who you can just meet once, twice, thrice in your lifetime. So, yes, they are somehow related to me. By blood. I guess yes, they are. But I don’t really know them. I just met them twice, I think, excluding those times when I’m still young and innocent in the world. I don't have any buddy friend when I was there. T_T Does that make me a bad girl?

So, to end up my post, I would just like to give you these tips when staying in someone else house:

You have to watch you etiquette. You’re staying with other people, right! You can’t just do things like shouting every time you brother tease you like what you’re doing in your house.
You should also check what you are wearing.
One should also make sure to secure important things you brought like your cellphone, wallet, etc. You’re staying with someone else, remember.
You should also keep everything in place and being lazy is not tolerated. You can’t just toss your dress and undies in the bed, or keep your things at mess because you don’t feel like cleaning it.

Out For Now

2010-05-02T23:05:00.002+08:00

Please excuse me if I replied late in your tags.
Our family went on a sudden out of town trip and I was not able to use the internet during those days.Well, what we really did was to go there to celebrate their fiesta (and eat a lot). And because my father is back in our country for now, I may say that I could not use the computer every now and then. I hope I'll not be outdated. Anyway, if you want, you can add me in Twitter. I'll try my best to update myself there.

Anyway, goodnight and sweet dreams everyone!

Bob Ong is Dead?

2010-04-26T16:33:00.003+08:00

This morning, when I checked my cellphone, I received a message from my friends saying that Bob is dead. I don't know if its true. So here's what it says:

The author of A B N K K B S N A KO and many books or known as BOB ONG has passed away last 3:15 a.m. because of heart failure in C.G. hospital at room 115. For his readers and fans, please pass this to your friends as your condolences. Thanks you.

I have read some of his books like ABNKKBSNPLKo?!?, Bakit Baliktad Magbasa ng Libro Ang Mga Pilipino?, at Alamat ng Gubat, and I like their stories somehow.

Let me repeat this again. I don't know if its true. I just posted the what I received this morning. But, if he's really dead, maybe, we should've seen it in news. If you've got anything to say about this, just comment below.

SAVER Training

2010-04-20T01:10:00.007+08:00

So, hello! Glad I’m officially back now. I should’ve post this yesterday but I’m still ~~tired~~ and all, I can’t think clearly. But now, I’m totally fine and am gonna tell you my story about my camp. Well, I would not post the exact things that happened, only the important things I can remember. Because if I do that, it would take an hour or so to read it. But, you can still tag me and ask me about things you want to know, and clarify. So, er.. let’s begin.

The night before the camp, someone told me that the venue changed. From ~~Tanay~~, it was changed to Teresa. Well, for me the location does not matter. All I want is to attend the camp. But, the next day, about 7 o’clock in the morning, my classmates who’ll also go to the camp were discussing that matter. Most of them were disappointed, and I guess, they may become disappointed at me if I told them that I don’t really care about that thing. After a while, our troop leader came and she talked to the parents who went to the school that day. Some were complaining about the recent news, about the fee, and about another matter, because our troop leader would not accompany us in the camp. Last year, she didn’t escort us too, and we’re fully aware about that. Anyway, our directress was also there and they discussed the subject inside the building (we’re waiting in the covered walk). So, while waiting for them, my classmates and I took some pictures of ourselves. We tried some jump shots which were not really successful.

It was already past 9 am until the matter was over. Let me not discuss what the result of their discussion was. The most important thing was, were still allowed to go to the camp. So, we went to Tanay, in Tanay Elementary School, to be exact. So, my classmates kept on comparing ~~Sierra Madre Country Club~~ (where our venue should be) and the school. I know there’s a lot of difference to site, but I didn’t have any expectation about the place. We didn’t had an outdoor camping at all because we stayed inside the classrooms, and I guess that’s the only thing I want that day. I wanted to stay in a tent in a camp.

So well, let’s see! We were forty in camp. Twenty-four of them came from our school, three came from Valley High, six came from University of Rizal System, four from Rizal National Science Highschool, two of the teachers came from Immaculate of Mary School and one came from San Jose Elementary School. And Tita Pearl was the one assigned to hold us throughout the training.

On the first day in the camp, we were divided into six patrols. I belonged to the sixth patrol and we called it patrol Cabaňa. Our PL was a teacher from Immaculate of Mary School, Tita Aileen. And I am the APL. Charlotte was the scribe. My classmate Mara was the purser. Michelle, from University of Rizal System, was the grub leader and Angeline of Valley High was the Hike/Song leader.

So, after that, Ate Khim, a Red Cross member, taught us bandaging, carrying, and things about giving first aid. Later that night, we had a so-called socialization, and we presented our yells and cheers. We also played Diz’ I It. Mara, Tita Aileen and I presented a sort of skit, Michelle and Charlotte danced, and Angeline sang. We had a lot of fun though I couldn’t say that we did great, but we did fine.

The next day, we’re assigned as the PIC (Patrol in Charge) so we lead in the exercise that morning. We also had the COLORS, or the ceremony near the entrance of the school. Mara, Charlotte, Marian, they’re the color bearer and Rola lead us in the ceremony. Well, we will do the ceremony every morning but I don’t think they will lead us tomorrow. Anyway, Ate Khim continued on her lecture about bandaging and carrying. We had a simulation about it later that afternoon. She also taught us things about home nursing. So, that night, we did our campfire activities. We wore international costumes, which we can’t really call like that because we used only used things we have to make them and all we knew was that, there’s no such country that wears what we wore that night. Anyway, our school presented a skit about Girl Scout Promise, which we think was not good enough compared to the Basics presentation. I guess, we all taught that we failed in our part, but still, Tita Pearl, and Tita Susan, told us that we did a good job.

Ate Khim

On the third day, we did an indoor ceremony, and the Basics lead us. This day, we learned laws concerning children, and women from a DSWD represented. I’m really tired that day so keep on fighting from sleeping while listening to her. That afternoon, a fireman came and discussed Fire Protection to us. Night came and we did a solemn ceremony called Scouts Own. The closing ceremony was also held that day. Supposed to be, it should be the next day, but they did it to go with the Basics closing ceremony. So, we received our certificates that day.

On the fourth day, and our last day (which should be on the 5th of April), we went to a nearby resort. We went to Sampaguita Resort to learn basics of swimming and enjoy. What we did that day was to explore the resort first. We climbed the top of the resort, took photos on every castles and beautiful spots we can find there, and have fun while hiking there. This was the best thing that happened in our camp. The laughter and the memories we had was irreplaceable.

Pictorial 101

So, to sum up everything, I enjoyed the camp especially the time when we went to the resort, I also enjoyed every nights I had before we sleep because that’s the time when we will talk about our experiences, stories and things about our lives

Princesses in the Castle : Where's our Prince?

Thing I just hate was we have to use our official uniform every now and then. It totally stinks. And it feels so uncomfortable wearing it.

Anyway, I hope I can join another camp next year. I also hope that on the coming school year, the time when we will become officers, I look forward to have a good time with everyone of our members like back then, when we were in the camp.

Nightime smiles

Oh, and the last thing I would like to say, I’ll change to shoutmix now..

On Hiatus for 5 days

2010-04-13T00:58:00.003+08:00

Hello again everyone!

ON HIATUS!

I just wanna say that I’ll be ON HIATUS for five days starting tomorrow, from April 14 until April 18, 2010. I already said that there’s some sort of summer camp for scouting I’m planning to join. So, well, luckily, I’m joining it again. So, you can still see me around until maybe around night this day. So see you all later!

Oh! By the way, see, I added something on my header. A sort of text with “Navigation” written on it. Well, I just thought that maybe, some of you were not able realize that there’s a navigation above. So, just in case!

And, yes, now I already have a contact form. See that computer above in the navigation bar, just click on it and it will direct you to the form. So, (another) in case you have something to tell me in private and you don’t want it posted in the tagboard (because sometimes, I feel that way), just write it there. And if you have something to ask, just go to my Formspring.

Before I forgot, I just wanna ask if what do you think is better, Cbox or Shoutmix. I’m using Cbox but while tagging, I realized that sometimes, my post won’t appear instantly making me think that I have not yet submitted my message, and I’ll click the submit button again (and now you call it ~~double posting~~ or ~~spamming~~). So, do you think I should change to Shoutmix? Just say what’s in your mind, I won’t mind it. (^_^)

Again, see you all later!

Foodtrip

2010-04-12T00:09:00.000+08:00

Heya everyone! This afternoon, we ate these yummy brownies from Brownies Unlimited. It’s my first time to eat brownies (yeah, my first time) but I have seen them for quite a while now. It’s just that, I don’t wanna try eating unfamiliar foods but these days, I’m trying my best to try different foods which I don’t usually eat, or drink.

It’s also my first time to drink shake, when my classmate Carmi asked me to accompany her to Ministop. She bought Cookies and Cream flavored Chillz. I became curious and I remembered the dare I kept myself so I also bought a Cookies and Cream flavored Chillz. Actually, there were two flavors to choose from, cookies and cream and coffee. Though I have this dare in my mind, you can’t make me buy any coffee flavored products, hmm, maybe except for X.O. candy coffee.

I’ll give you this trivia. I only learned to love eating cookies and cream last November, when Im craving for sweets and I saw my classmate Yohan eating a cookies and cream flavored chocolate. Well, uhm, back in the past, chocolate, and chocolate alone is the only flavor I love. Cake, ice cream, syrups, and many more, you can’t make me them if they were not chocolates. Since that event, I realized that there were a lot of flavors out there to try. But, wait! Now, I’m having cookies and cream madness. Hehehe, just give me enough time and I’ll get over it.

Black-Out

2010-04-09T22:52:00.002+08:00

We experienced a black-out yesterday because the main switch in our house overheats. Well, I didn’t really see that it happened, some workers saw that it happened and told us that we should turn off all the switch in the house. So, we did it. My mom and grandma called Meralco to report the incident. They told them that someone would arrive after four hours. FOUR HOURS. I hate waiting especially this summer when the sun’s heat is at its extent.

So, we didn’t have electricity for four hours. All I did was just to stay in my grandma’s room where the air was somewhat cool and there, my brother, cousin and I, spent those hours chatting, while I am reading. I didn’t saw the Meralco representative because I’m reading the book and I don’t want anything to spoil the excitement at that time. Then, my cousin, turned on the television, and I decided that I should watch anime this instance. We watched animes in TV 5 in the sala and after sometime, I transferred to my gran’s room to continue watching Lucky Star. When the show was about to end, I heard a loud “BANG” and then the lights went out again. From what I heard, when Kuya Mhars was about to charge his phone, something flickered and then, you know what happened.

Again, we didn’t have electricity for sometime. But, what caught my attention was some of our neighbors behind our house, also lost their electricity. I wonder why? My mom told me that supposed to, they should not be because their electricity wires were not connected to ours. Hmmm, something is not right here!

Anyway, my brother and I had a candle light dinner. How romantic isn’t it?! Anyway, now I love this black-out because I had a great time having a heart to heart talk with my brother. We don’t really do these kinds of things, you see during regular days especially these days. PSP and Gameboy get on our way. So, we spend the whole night, waiting for someone from Meralco again. I also tried capturing the candle’s light, and I guess, I did fine.

Fortunately, the electricity on our bahay-kubo was still there. So, we were able to watch television and use the lamp for well, err, for our light source (aside from candles). I guess the Meralco electrician came near 12 midnight. And, oh, well, our electricity came back after that.

Happy Easter Sunday!

2010-04-04T23:17:00.002+08:00

Hello everyone! HAPPY EASTER Sunday!

Antipolo Church

So, well, we went to Antipolo church this day and we heard the mass. I woke up at 4 o'clock in the morning and my eyes were still half-closed while straightening my bed sheets, and then again, I went back to sleep. It’s already quarter to 5 when I woke up again and then, I woke up my mom and hurriedly fixed myself. After sometime, Im ready to go, but I still haven’t eaten yet when my grandma called us and told us that we should go now. So, with an empty stomach, I rode on the car and we traveled to Antipolo. I was feeling a bit dizzy while hearing the mass. But, I fought hard not to faint. So, after the mass, I pushed really hard my mom and my grandma to eat. So, we went to Jollibee which was near the church.

I love them!

Im craving for some Legua de Gato

After eating our breakfast, we went to the uhm, marketplace (?) beside the church where vendors were selling different kinds of delicacies. We bought cashew nuts and suman somewhere near the place where our car was park.

The wishing fountain.

Minutes later, my grandma suggested that we should go to St. Claire too so, we all agreed and we went there. I wrote my wishes on a piece of paper there using the smallest pencil I can see. I was thinking that if somebody asks me why I chose that over those longer ones, I would say that shorter pencils were not used because longer pencils were present so to be fair, I should use it. And then, again, I wrote my wishes on the paper and dropped it on the place where it should be dropped. Then, we pray on the church and when we saw this fountain, me and my brother tossed a coin on it and said our prayers together. After that, we went tired yet happy!!! :)

So, for those who wants to see some shots made by my new cam, those pictures above are some of them. Just click on them to view a larger version of it.

*Note: I didn't use photoshop or any editing software to enhance them.

QUESTIONS:
What did you do during Easter Sunday?
Did you enjoy it?

My New Camera

2010-04-02T21:49:00.003+08:00

This is my new camera that my Dad got for me.
My small cousin accidentally dropped my silver Samsung Kenox S630 and we have to keep this as a secret for a month, but I finally told him about that thing and when I mentioned about our SAVER camp, he told me that he will but me a new one so, here is it, my new pink Canon Ixus 95 IS.

QUESTIONS:
Have you ever kept a secret before? What is it?
What is the brand of your camera?

Just Want to Share

2010-03-31T14:12:00.003+08:00

I just want to share this!

I saw this on tumblr a while ago.

Well, August 9 is my birthdate so, ehr, I posted it here.

So, for everyone with the same birthdate as mine, something important is going to happen on our birthday on August.

Visit my Tumblr account.

External Links - Attribute _blank

2010-03-29T13:26:00.004+08:00

So, basically, when you make a link you will put, <a href=”link.html”>Name of the Link</a>, but when making an external link, I suggest you put the attribute target in the anchor tag (<a></a>) with the value “_blank” so when you click the link, it will be open in a new window or tab.

Example:

<a href=”http://pixiechronicle.blogspot.com/” target=”_blank”>Blog</a>

What’s the purpose of using this attribute?

It’s not really necessary to use this attribute when making an external link, but it would be a help to those reader who want to check a certain link outside your blog but doesn’t want to open it in the current window, with different reasons like she/he still wants to read the content of blog but wants to check out the link out of curiosity.

Well, some of the browsers nowadays have this right-click option “open in a new tab/window” but, like here in my blog, where right-clicking is disabled, some readers would think that it would be a relief if links in my affiliates and credits can be open in new tab right!

So, that’s all! I hope it helps you.

Terms:

External link: is a link either to a file or to a web page that does not belong to the web page’s own site; a link outside your site
Attribute: is an entity that defines the property of a tag
Value: values assigned to the property or attribute enclosed by (“”) and are limited to 1024 characters

New Layout

2010-03-26T19:22:00.009+08:00

Uhm, so, I just changed my layout.
Hope you like it!

Buh-bye...

My plan...

2010-03-26T00:15:00.006+08:00

Last Wednesday, we, the former PL’s (now officers), had our meeting regarding the upcoming SAVER (Service Auxiliary Volunteer for Emergency and Relief) training, and for those who want to become an aspirant for Chief Medal Scheme.

So, Ate Auj told us that this year’s SAVER training will be held in Sierra Madre Country Club, Tanay, Rizal from April 14-18. Again, it will be a five-day training course done to help us enhance our skills (and for us to learn) things in case of emergency and danger.

Tagaytay

Last year, the SAVER training was held in Tagaytay, Rizal. I joined this training event along with thirteen schoolmates. Our troop was divided into two patrols, and the patrols formed were decided to be called Patrol Single Ladies and Patrol Wonder Pets. I was the Cheer/Song Leader of Patrol Wonder Pets back then. I learned many things in the camp like carrying and bandaging (which were also taught in our school but there were some additional skills taught here). I joined my first ever Santacruzan here. Well, everything was so cool and exhilarating

Bandaging Activity

Carrying Activity

So, er, my mom told me that I should join again because she wants me to experience everything as much as possible. Actually, I don’t really plan to join but I guess she’s right, I want to experience new things in a place where I’ve never been before, and besides, I don’t have any plan for this vacation, so, I’ll give it a shot. Well, this will be my second time joining this so I wouldn’t be much surprise and would be more ready

Wish me luck, everyone!

Notes:
Anyway, the aquatic escapade of our class will be moved to Saturday
Pictures were taken last year.

Summer Vacation

2010-03-20T10:27:00.001+08:00

Atlast, our ~~final exam~~ is over.

And summer vacation is finally here.

On Monday, our class will have our swimming in one of the resort somewhere in San Rafael. Well, I'm a bit annoyed because our class president invited some students from the other sections, because you know, er, its supposed to be our farewell get-together and someone other than us are there. I just don't like it.

Anyway, my classmate, Cara, wants me to return the book she lend to me but I haven't read it yet. I already told her that I don't have time, and I don't like reading books during school days and weekends but she insisted so I accepted her request to read it. But I guess, now that our vacation has started, I'll make sure I'll finish it in no time.

60 Things Guys Should Know About Girls

2010-03-12T11:01:00.003+08:00

1. Girls hate it when guys say perverted things.

2. Girls like to be told that they’re beautiful, rather than hot, pretty, cute, or sexy. It just gives more meaning.

3. Girls love to feel special, even though they might not show it.

4. Girls talk about everything with their girlfriends. So that means, you’re possibly 90% of their conversation. And believe me, trash talking takes up most of it, unless you’re a Greek god, which you’re not.

5. When girls are online, they want the guy to instant message them first, and they literally burn up inside when they’re not messaged. Of course, when they are messaged, they play it all cool and go “oh, hey” as if they just discovered your message.

6. Girls have a thing for guys who dress GQ.

7. Girls love it when guys are over 6 feet.

8. Girls find it awfully attractive when guys wear just a white t-shirt and jeans and yet they happen to look awesome in it.

9. Remember. Sense of humor. Girls love guys who can make them laugh.

10. Girls hate guys with bad hygiene. So put on that deodorant and clip those nails!

11. Girls love guys who plays sports.

12. Girls love it when a guy pulls them close by the waist.

13. Girls go crazy when a guy smells good.

14. Girls hate cocky guys.

15. Usually, when a girl is sarcastically mean to you, it means they’re attracted to you, but are afraid that they’ll be showing too much.

16. A kiss on the hand with the right timing can be a real turn-on.

17. Girls have a thing for guys who sport blazers with a destroyed tee underneath.

18. Girls have a thing for guys who have messy sex hair.

19. Some girls can think about their crushes for 18+ hours straight. No exaggeration.

20. When a guy says something really sentimental, girls will remember it forever.

21. The smallest gestures, the smallest stares, and the smallest statements could make a girl’s year. No joke.

22. Girls get embarrassed easily, even if guys don’t know what the hell just happened.

23. Girls daydream about their crushes. Like getting married, going on dates, kissing, etc. They just don’t show it.

24. Girls hate cheaters.

25. Guys who can sing or dance are a major turn on.

26. Guitarists are sexy.

27. When a girl is upset and wants you to listen, she wants you to listen. Don’t give her advice unless she asks for it.

28. When a girl is crying, she feels a lot safer if you pull her close and tell her that everything is going to be alright.

29. Girls love it when guys say their name.

30. Girls don’t like short tempered guys.

31. Sometimes girls just wish that guys would notice when they get a new haircut or if they’re wearing eyeliner.

32. When a girl calls you her loser or her dork, it usually means she’s attracted to you.

33. Girls find it a lot more romantic if you just fall asleep with them holding them with your arms rather than having a night of hot kinky sex.

34. Girls will never say I love you unless you say it first. But that doesn’t mean she doesn’t want to scream it from the top of her lungs.

35. Girls love confidence.

36. Girls don’t like rock-hard guys. They like to know that guys can have a sensitive side too.

37. There comes a time when girls have needs too. Enough said.

38. A girl will cry over you a lot more than you think.

39. A girl’s wounds can last a while. And when I say a while, I mean a while.

40. Girls hate guys who smell bad.

41. When a girl cooks for you, you know you mean a lot to her.

42. Girls don’t like it when you think other women are hot and say it so. It can lower our self-esteem.

43. Eyeliner is a girl’s essential product. Don’t ever try to take it away from her.

44. Girls hate it, absolutely hate it, when guys don’t keep their promises. It throws them over the top.

45. Every girl fantasizes about her wedding. Her dress, her flowers, her shoes, her hair. More than you think.

46. Girls hate it when other guys flirt. Yet they flirt themselves too. Ah, the beauty of irony.

48. A phone call, a text message, or a single Hershey’s kiss will mean a lot more than a bouquet of flowers and a box of chocolates on her birthday.

49. Every girl think she’s pretty in one way or another. They just won’t admit it.

50. Girls are very self-conscious when it comes to their looks. No makeup is a very sensitive topic to them.

52. Be frank about things. Guys are not the only ones who are complicated.

53. Getting a girl jealous might be cute but deep inside they are getting hurt.

55. Girls love it when a guy pulls her from behind and plants a kiss on her.

56. Girls hate it when guys just stare at them. Talk to her once in awhile.

57. What’s sexier than a guy playing the guitar? Pianists.

Student Council election

2010-03-11T15:37:00.000+08:00

Yesterday, we had our Student Council election for school year 2010-2011. The school announced about this event last Monday and gave the aspirants two days to campaign. There were two partylist. The SPEAK Partylist and the ANAK Partylist.

ANAK means Akbayan ng Adhikain at Katarungan. It is led by Arnel M. Arevalo of II-Narra. Meanwhile Amen Purificacion is the leader of SPEAK Partylist. He came from III-Makiling and he’s one of my classmates. Most of the SPEAK’s candidates came from our class and three of them came from the other section and year levels. I admit that through their campaign, the ANAK Partylist showed that they really have what it takes to handle their future positions (if ever) but of course, because I have known my classmates for such a long time now, and I know that they responsible enough, I think I would vote some of them.

These were what I considered in choosing the best person in position for the student council:

First of all, they should have the will to lead us. They should have sympathy for us.
They should be role models. Those who can’t do things themselves can’t make us do those things.
They should be responsible enough for their position. They should be able to balance their personal life and their life as a student council member.
They should be knowledgeable and they should also know the problems that a student is experiencing in our school.
I didn’t vote them because I know them. I voted them because I know they are capable enough.

To all of my classmates who joined there, goodluck to everyone! I guess they would announce the result on Monday, during our flag ceremony.
