California Dreams Tour

2012-01-23T13:26:00.001+08:00

Yesterday, January 22, 2011, the famous Katy Perry ended her California Dreams Tour here in the Philippines. And boy, I was lucky to have watched it. :)

It was last year when my bestfriends and I have decided to watch Katy's concert as we are one of her die-hard fans, but months have passed and I have completely forgotten about buying a ticket. I was not able to avail of the 10% discount that my bestfriends have gotten. I swore that I'd be purchasing a ticket as soon as possible but the holiday season have prevented me from doing so. Hello, money issues! Haha. Imagine how depressed I was then. Luckily, someone surprised me with two tickets for the concert! Ah, I feel like I've just won a ticket for the show! I've been counting the days since he gave it to me. Yes, I was that excited. =))

Here's a timeline of what happened on January 22:
*Went to church with Charles at 8:30 am.
*After that, he cooked pasta with shrimp (my favorite!) for me. I have also finally met Bruno, their cute shih tzu!
*Arrived at MOA at quarter to 6:00 pm
*Met our other companions. We're supposed to be 11 but the disrupted signal of Globe has prevented us to be reunited. Four got lost! =)) Thanks to Smart for blocking the signal, if it was true!
*The front act for her concert has started at 8:00 pm and ended at 9:00 pm. We all thought that Katy will come right after but gaaah, we waited until around 10:15 when she started her first song! I swear, we were all exhausted and anxious to go home.
*Katy sang a total of 13 songs. Everyone was just so hyped up to sing along with her. :)
*BEST HIGHLIGHT: Katy kissed Ivan Dorschner!
*After the concert, we decided to grab a bite in Yellowcab, Macapagal as we were all famished (even if we ate McDonald's and drank so much water) =))
*Had a spontaneous sleepover at Joyce's! :)

Thank you for surprising me, Charles! :)

With two of my dates. Charles and the other woman! :)

For sure, everyone enjoyed the concert as much as I did! We're all hoping that Rihanna comes next here in Manila! But wait, I need to save first.

Gone Til' November

2011-12-02T14:21:00.001+08:00

Yes, I know that I have been (yet again!) on hiatus for more than two months. Work, events, and outings have kept me very busy for the past two months. I have decided to blog about what has happened to me this November because it was, by far, the best (and worst) month of this year.

How To Be Random

2011-09-11T16:43:00.005+08:00

How? See:

1. I want to stop working even for just a month. ~~How can work (plus commuting on the way home) be so stressful?~~
2. Can somebody teach me how to cook decent and edible food? On the top of my list: Churros! It's my favorite snack! One of my best friends, Joyce, will always make this one for us. Waiting for Christmas!
3. My schedule until the end of this year is jam-packed. May somebody grant me enough time (and money, of course) to get past all of it. :))
4. I seriously want to repeat my "Eat, Pray, Love" experience. Only this time, I'm making it "Eat (less!), Pray (more!), Learn", and hopefully, I'll be doing it in not just one abroad trip but more than five!
5. Losing weight has never been harder than gaining. I hope my mom, aunt, and cousin will not get furious if I don't fit on my entourage dress. It looks nice pa naman. MUST. STOP. EATING. TOO. MUCH. :| =))

The dress looks almost exactly like this one. Even the color!

6. BlackBerry phones are dominating the office. I've influenced them. Thus, I made a difference. Hahaha!
7. I feel ecstatic for our November 12-13 trip! First out of town overnight trip with my best friends! But I knoooow, ang tagal pa.
8. Six months before getting a non-pro driver's license? ZOMG, LTO. What happened?! :| :| :|
9. Glad that my parents are (somehow) giving me 49 % of my freedom. Goal for this year: Make it 51%!
10. I've been thinking / dreaming of riding a hot air balloon for the past couple of months now. I've been wanting to ride into one of these balloons since 2010, the year that I found out about the "Philippine International Hot Air Balloon Fiesta" in Pampanga. Last 2010, my friend invited me to go with them but due to the "study first, have fun later-or worst, don't have fun until you're done" mantra and asking parents their permission issue, I did not go. This 2011, I was out of the country to do my "Eat, Pray, Love" thing. What a perfect timing. :| So hopefully by next year, I'd be witnessing one of the most awesome events in the Philippines. Well for me, it's magical. It'll be from February 9 - 12, 2012 at the Clark Airfield. Like an American Idol hopeful: I WANT THIS SO BAD. You can feel it from my Tumblr posts, promise. And from what I read here, "It's a salute to mankind's feat to conquer the skies" :)) Kahit mapanuod ko lang, pero if you're kind enough to treat me for a ride, I will, without a hint of hesitation, accept it. HELLOOOO, FREE NGA EH! WHY WOULDN'T I TAKE IT? HAHAHA! I really hope that Joyce will read this and that she'll invite me...or any of my best and most trusted friends (BFF circle)! Hi, I'm dreading to go to Clark. I can only be found in Clark on February 11 - 12. That is where I must be. Where I should be. =)) Lord, hear me. Hear me.

Crash and Burn

2011-08-22T21:02:00.004+08:00

Earlier today, I chatted with one of my dearest friends in college, Lizl (or Bitch/L as what we call her). We were reminiscing our days in college, way back from 2007. Those were the days when happiness is all that matter, when love is just a four-letter word (until now! Whaaaat.... Hahaha) and when freedom is all that we wanted! We're not rebellious, okay. :))

May 23, 2007 - December 18, 2010. Three years and six months. Add February 5, 2011, our graduation day, and it'll be three years and eight months. Forty-four months were spent in studying, partying, and praying. Yes, praying whenever there's an examination. (I pray everyday, Lord. :D ) But it wasn't all about those three things only. We cut classes, stalk crushes (Hello, B. Remember when we took pictures of _____ while we were in the 2nd floor library at Andrew?), watch games, and just hang out. It was indeed a simple life.

Although our paths have separated after our first six months, we tried our best to meet again. Same classes or break, whatever time that we have, we attempt to bond just because we all find it relaxing by being with one another's company. Minsan cheesy talaga kami, and puro chismisan. Hahaha!

Let me tell you some of the events that made a major impact on my college life:

1. The First Cut is the Deepest. September 19, 2007. I swear, my heart was racing when I've decided to partake on L's journey to TUA. Emgee, Lizl, and I watched a contest to support L's best friend. We cut classes just so we could attend the event. ActBas pa naman yung class namin! Lakas!

2. Hotel Maryville. My frosh days were filled with never ending camping in our Maryville Apartment (or dorm, as what we used to call it). Back were the days when we have no prof in Fildlar for nearly a month and the three of us will just sleep or talk in the dorm. We even experienced an earthquake! And whenever it's finals, Lizl will have a sleepover in our dorm. See, we're maximizing our rent!

3. Ballin'. DLSU vs. ADMU game series is the most intense and epic basketball match you'll ever witness. Long lines to get tickets, cutting classes to reach Araneta, pestering friends from other schools to get us tickets, dealing with scalpers, and clashing with the rival school. You'd definitely lose your voice once you're in the big dome. School pride, baby. Green-blooded ako!

4. If I Were an Auditor. I'd probably die before 30. I am serious! I have been trying to sing "We All Love Accounting" while studying it but I just couldn't love it. I totally loathe it. Never liked it even in a slightest way. I tried, okay? But we just don't jive. You could say that all my tears went on these four subjects.

5. Anytime at All. Acquaintances, guys, friends, and bestest friends. I've had my fair share of sadnesss, fight (isa lang! Haha), romance, and genuine laughter. Best part of the break: chismisan by Kim. Avid listener here! College may have been full of ups and downs but in the end, all that matters are your friends who never leave you even in the darkest of times.

I took some photos with my blockmates from my Multiply. Memento, as they say. :)

Rainy Day People

2011-06-26T21:13:00.003+08:00

Last Friday night was my birthday. It started with a ginormous blessing from God: HEAVY RAIN. It was a typical day for me. I went to work from 6 o'clock in the morning up to 3 o'clock in the afternoon. I treated my officemates in Dencio's despite the rain and strong gush of wind outside. Gee, it's not the kind of birthday that I expected. Haha! Anyway, I went to Town after my work. I arrived there at around 4:30pm which was kind of early, considering that I rode in a shuttle instead of my usual means of commuting (bus). I just don't want to get hassled by transferring from a bus to a jeep to Town. And so, I have decided to do some window shopping for my list of things to buy while waiting for the 6:00 pm mass at St. Jerome Emiliani Parish.

If you have noticed, I have been doing things alone on this day. Yes, I have no one to be with. No family or friend. Not even a special someone (as if I have one! Haha!). My father has to settle something on our business from June 24-25 and the whole family went with him. Thus, leaving me alone with the maid. The initial plan was to spend time with the whole family but it didn't happen. I actually cried when they texted me that they're changing plans for that day. I have already arranged my dates with my friends to another day just so I could devote my birthday with the family. So I resorted into asking some people if they are free on my birthday. But duh. Heavy rain. It was impossible to get out of the house. Thus, I went to mass alone. Totally not a good day until...

Someone texted me! Wes asked me what my plans are on that day and I told him that I have no intention of doing something but to eat and go home. I have nothing else to do. I cannot even watch a movie since I have watched all of them (except for the Filipino movie. Forgive me, peeps.) He just had a terrible day. He was traveling for 13 hours back to his home in QC. But guess what? He insisted on coming to Alabang just to accompany me on my birthday. I thought the idea was crazy. I couldn't let him risk his life in traveling on the road (plus the heavyyyyy rain and traffic!) to Alabang. But he made it. He was there. I was in Conti's grabbing a cup of cafe latté when he called to tell me that he is already in Town. I swear, I was on the verge of tears. Someone decided to rescue me from my worst birthday ever!

I met him at the activity center and we were both hungry so we went to California Pizza Kitchen to eat dinner (because I wanted pizza). Note: It was already late at that time! The mall is nearly closing but who cares. Haha! We ordered a veryyyyy delicious Portobello Mushroom Ravioli and Cheeseburger Pizza. We did not even finish our meal because we were too full already. Yet, there will always be a room for a gelato. But unfortunately, the restaurant selling gelato has already closed. We did some catching up with our lives. After that, he drove me home. We had one problem though, the guard at the Southvale Village won't allow us to enter since we're riding on a private car but I asked the guard if he could let us pass this time since it is my birthday...and so he did! See what you get when it's your birthday! Heehee :>

I ended my birthday with a smile. A lot of people greeted me through text, twitter, facebook, email, call, etc. You name it! I am sorry if the highlight of my post was about what Wes did for me. Gee, I couldn't imagine anyone doing it for me except him. He is such a sweet guy and I am so thankful that he is my friend. It was the weirdest birthday, ever! Haha! To everyone, THANK YOU!!!! :)

With my teammates!

A Centennial Anthology

2011-06-26T20:13:00.002+08:00

Last June 16, 2011, The De La Salle University celebrated its 100th year of presence in the Philippines. The centennial celebration will last for a year but the 16th of June marked the beginning of it all.

My friend Krizza and I parked in Harrison and walked to the school because we've found out that it was traffic in Taft Avenue. Geez. We were so excited to finally go back to our alma mater. I went to see my friends. Ate and watched with them. The school was sooooo....GREEN. And it was hard to move from one place to another. Or should I say, from one step to another. If only we still have the football field. :|

Anyway, I am glad to see and spend time with my friends in college. Oh, how I wish I could be with them again. But I've no regrets. We all have to move on with our lives. :)

Anyway, here are some of the pictures that were taken from my camera.

Yes, I've walked with my heels! Haha!

My Secret in Silence

2011-05-11T18:14:00.001+08:00

You came into my life

Quietly, simply, placidly

And my words stood still..

I couldn’t express in words

Or even in simple gestures

The secret I kept in my heart

So I loved in silence,

Admired you from a distance,

Dreamt of you from afar

I wanted to say I love you..

I wanted to say I care.

But cowardly, maybe you will only laugh at me.

In silence then I will love you..

In silence then I will care..

-Lorelei Pablo (Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul on Love & Friendship)

We Belong Together

2011-04-17T20:51:00.001+08:00

Bonjour, les amis! I'm sorry if I haven't updated for a long time mainly because I am too lazy to use the internet. I have to sit in front of a computer for 8 hours and you'd expect me to do the same at home. Nonstop usage? No way. So I've decided to focus on more important things like shopping! Heehee. Forever21 opened its second branch in the Philippines last April 8. It is located in SM Makati and I assure you wouldn't get lost on your way to the store. Why? Because it has a ginormous sign for everyone to see. And duh, who wouldn't have heard of its opening. Word of mouth! Buzz marketing! My friends and I paid a visit at the store a day before its grand opening to get a peek of what they are to offer for us. Then came April 8. I hurriedly made my way to SM Makati to shop (even without my dad's permission). While on the shuttle, my friend, Nicko, called and asked me if I have received our first paycheck. Apparently, they have released it a few minutes before my work ended. My friends and I decided to go back to the office but due to traffic (and my eagerness to shop) we've arrived to a conclusion to continue our way to SM and just get our paycheck on the following week. Anyway, I was left broke that week and last week because I haven't been restraining myself to "explore" the store. Forever21, why do you have to open a new store right exactly when I started working? I'm not blaming them, though! More like I'm happy with it. :) Aside from Forever21, I was hoping that they'd open H&M here also because I miss shopping on that store but my friend made me realized that if they were to begin business here in the country, then there clothes would be nothing but "cliche". Tomorrow, I'd look for some new and affordable finds!

*****

I had the time to meet my besfrens this weekend. I thank God for reuniting us once again after two months! We went to one of my favorite places in the south, Alabang Town Center! (I even saw my Innersoul buddies. I missed them!) Anyway, we were supposed to dine at Giligan's but because they were full, we went to Gloria Maris instead. It was BFF Joyce's treat for her grad and first paycheck (We are officemates! Hihi :>)Geez, we were so full! But as the saying goes, there will always be a space for dessert. And so it was! We went to Haagen Dazs (my treat this time) to continue with our catching up. There were no legit photos this time. Not even a photo with Mr. Nigel Barker and Ms. J Alexander from America's Next Top Model! Ugh. How unlucky! On the contrary, we still got to see them close up. Haha! Anyway, here are two of the photos of my clique:

With my ultimo BFF, Grace!

Just before the night ended.


What my mom bought for me yesterday! It looks exactly the same as Bianca Gonzales' bracelet!

*****

I am thinking of documenting my outfits in the next few weeks. Let me just finish decluttering my closet which is too much of a hodgepodge. But I am still undecided if I should do it. Someone might go exactly where I shop.Copycat. If you know what/who I am pertaining to, close friends!

*****

Last friday, I treated the entire household to dinner in King Bee Restaurant. The place was so full since it was their opening that day. Thank goodness we were able to grab a table. While we were there, I have been computing in my mind on how much it would cost me to dine in that place, knowing that they're having a buffet dinner that night. Geez. BUFFET?! Imagine! I felt relieved when I saw the price of the buffet. They had it on a special offer for the opening. Yay! Lucky me! And their food was oh sooooo delicious! I suggest that you guys try eating there! When it was time to ask for the bill, it took us almost 20 minutes to see the bill. Why? They insist that we were on the "invite list", thus, everything is for free! OMF Geez! We kept on telling them that we should pay while they keep on telling us that it's for free! Haha! Being a good citizen, I paid for the bill. I was so sure that it wasn't me on that list. Or so I thought.

*****

Last week's conclusion: I.AM.BROKE.

After treating the entire household to dinner last friday in the newly opened King Bee Restaurant along Daang Hari, shopping and the extravagant Haagen Dazs ice cream, I am left with a few coins to spend. Yikes! Haha!

Farewell To The Old Me

2011-04-03T22:35:00.000+08:00

March 28, 2011 ended my life as an assiduous tramp. It was on this day that I have finally decided to move past my I-am-still-a-student thinking to becoming a responsible and important person in this world. I am happy to know that the company's population has an age bracket of 20-25 years old. Quite young, eh? There were 5 new hires from our team; two from DLSU and ADMU and one from St. Scho. We have already been introduced to our team and I was shocked to see that most of them are guys. Yes, there were only 4 of us girls. Thankfully, there were all kwela and nice. I hope it wouldn't be that hard for me to get along with them since most of my close friends in college are guys. I hope so.

Anyway, this entry is not going to be about my first work. I am writing this because I am having a hard time bidding goodbye to my college friends who have been with me for the past few years. I have no issue meeting my HS friends and best friends since we all make it a point to see one another no matter what time of the day it is (of course, with the exception of working hours). We'd see each other even if the only thing that we could do is to watch the last full show of a movie or have a coffee drink (not in Starbucks). But my college friends? Well, they are mostly busy since it'll be their finals from this week until next week. It is heartwarming to receive texts and calls from them saying that they miss me and that they wanna see me. I am touched with everything they say. They still update me with whatever is happening with the school and with our friends. And I am glad that they still think of me. But really, seeing them are much better than texts and calls. Seeing them means that I am still a part of their life. Somehow, work and studies made it impossible. Sometimes, it saddens me whenever I become outdated with news. Readers, please do understand this point: Being a graduate is much harder than being a student. It makes you miss your friends. It makes you feel like you're alone. It makes you feel lost.

Little by little, I am accepting the changes that are occurring on my life. Yes, change is inevitable. One shouldn't question what I am feeling right now because when the time comes that you'll be the one graduating, you'll surely feel the same way. Someday, I will fully understand why all of these are happening. God has reasons and I trust His plans for me.

*****

One of the reasons why I am sentimental tonight is because of this series that I just finished watching. I swear, this is one of the Top 10 series that I have ever watched. It will remind you of losing someone important, not in terms of a lover but also in terms of friendship. A friendship that will endure every pain and suffering. It will without a doubt, make you sad but in the end, you'd get a lesson in it. Try to watch it, friends.

*****

Today is the 119th Anniversary of the First Documented Ice Cream Sundae. Cheers!

Waiting For The Great Leap Forward

2011-03-18T20:25:00.001+08:00

Get a job? Fortunately, I just did. Last February, I received an invitation through email for a job offer in an international company in Taguig. Unluckily, I was not able to make it on the said date due to a family commitment. What I did is I sent a letter (through email) to their HR explaining my whereabouts during my scheduled interview. Thankfully, the HR reconsidered my request for another interview. So last tuesday, my bestfriend and I went to their office and took an exam. My bestfriend hasn't graduated yet so her application is still pending. I, on the other hand, passed the (3) interviews and exam. (Note: I really think they're getting La Sallians. I think 95% of the people working there are from DLSU. Hmmmm....). I had to get back the next day and that was when they told me that I got a job offer. Whew. I was so frantic the entire day because (1) Taxi is my only way of transportation to get to the office. (The driver didn't respond on my text last tuesday. I asked him to pick us up in the Ayala Station and he didn't show up. I don't want that to happen again so I resorted on hailing a taxi) (2) I want to be a part of this company so bad (think of those "I want this SO BAD" desperate American Idol lines). I was even texting my friends of how nervous I am. But at the end of the day, I got a job! Oh well, I still have to undergo training (with a salary) in the next few weeks.

Next week, I'll start processing those legal documents like SSS, NBI, TIN, etc. My mom accompanied me getting some certificates earlier. When we went home, I made sure everything's complete but to my horror... my NSO certificate has gone missing. I think it was my fault. I accidentally threw it in the bin when we were renovating our house. Geez. One addition to my workload next week. My friend told me that I needed to prepare everything, including myself (when it comes to being patient). Mind you, they say that I have to fall in line for one whole day before I could get the IDs that I needed. Patience is a virtue, Hannah. But nevermind the future suffering (of lining up) that I have to endure next week. I really am thankful that I have been accepted in the company that I have always wanted from the start. And I do hope that my application will be complete by next week. Three months of bumming is over. Time to face the exhausting yet fulfilling corporate world.

The Importance Of Being Idle

2011-03-10T21:07:00.001+08:00

I am sure that all of you, my dear friends, are aware that I am keeping myself idle for the meantime. I know it's not a good thing but I just need a few more days to straighten my short and long term goals. I strongly believe that I have to plan things well before I venture in to the not-so-quite-exciting corporate world. Yikes. I'd rather be ready than regret for not planning/thinking early. Geez. I think too much!

Earlier today, I made a new layout since Mel and I happened to have the same theme. Thank you for telling me, Sissy! It took me an hour and a half to figure out the codes since I have to change most of the codes. As in MOST. After that, I am idle once again. This is getting a hobby, I swear. So I've decided to google the good and bad effects of being idle/lazy. I am heath conscious, you know.

BAD EFFECTS:

1. You tend to think of bad and wrong things that has happened or will happen in the future. Include jealousy and greed here.

2. You're not doing anything productive.

3. You become lazier each day.

4. You have a lack of desire of drive to work, lack of desire and commitment.

GOOD EFFECTS:

1. Lazy people discover shortcuts.

2. Lazy people sprung off new inventions. Think of the person who is lazy to climb the stairs, thus he invented the elevator. And the list goes on and on and on. You better google it.

3. Lazy people buoys the service sector. Gosh. THIS IS SO TRUE!!!!!

4. Lazy people brings balance to the social hierarchy. As bad as it sounds but I have to say that the sentence is right.

5. Lazy people encourages thinking.

6. Laziness cures brain cells and extends life span. Humans need to relax, okay.

7. Thus, better health.

Wow. I wrote more good effects rather than bad ones. Am I being defensive? I hope not. But I am not encouraging you to be idle! No way should we be idle! The thing is, no one is really lazy. People just do not like things that they don't want to do. We all have our own passion and lifestyle. So it's all up to the person on what he wants to do on his life. :)

P.S.

I have been reading and doing homeworks. My way of continuously learning.

P.P.S.

So many job interviews lined up next week! That's why I am free this week. Heee :>

P.P.P.S.

I am excited to work! :)

Where Have All The Flowers Gone

2011-03-01T17:16:00.003+08:00

Since ~~February~~ December, I have become an assiduous tramp (Translation: Hardworking person who travels without working). My recent exploit was the 16th Panagbenga Festival which is annually being held in Baguio, the summer capital of the Philippines. The term Panagbenga is of Malayo-Polynesian origin, meaning "season of blooming".

It was actually my first time (after countless attempts) to witness the festivity. My father has moved his flight for personal reasons and I am so thankful to him for bringing us there. At first, I have this chock-full schedule for the weekend which was eventually moved this week. Streak of luck, you say. Days before going there, my parents have been tirelessly calling hotels in Baguio but to no avail, all room are taken. So the lastest resort that we could make is to live at my bestfriend's resthouse (her family went also, by the way). While there, parking was nothing but hopeless. It felt like all the cars in North Luzon were left in that city. But then again, the "Just Got Lucky" thing happened again. We didn't only get a parking but also a good hotel near Burnham Park. Hah! Take that, Baguio.

Anyway, because my brother couldn't come with us since he has classes every saturday, I have become the family photographer during the trip. Result: I only got 3 pictures in the entire trip! THREE! Very memorable, okay. Gratefully speaking, at least I get to watch the Grand Panagbenga Street Parade, night concert and the prestigious Grand Float Parade. There were bazaars and many artists too! All in three days' event!

Ginormous Gardenia Bread!

It reminds me of my Grandfather :D

P.S.

Changed my layout because I have so much time in my hands. I can't be idle, you know. It took me less than an hour to fix the codes. And thank goodness, my archive is finally hidden! :)

Pack Up Your Troubles

Earlier this day, I went into my second job interview on an international company in Northgate, Alabang (NOTE: IT IS NOT A CALL CENTER!). It is a company that a Marketing student should apply for. Why? They have clients all over the world, including charitable institutions which I would love to be a part of someday! United Nations, please hear my prayer.

So anyway, the interview was casual and it actually went good. I only stayed there for an hour and went hurriedly to Alabang Town Center to buy my BlackBerry a new holster. Due to the jelly case that I have purchased, my BB won't fit into its original holster. So I went to the BlackBerry and Apple store located near Nokia and to my dismay, the saleslady told me that it is not advisable to force (in whatever way) my BlackBerry with a jelly case. Gosh, I was furious. Why don't they make a holster that could fit a BlackBerry with a jelly case?! But on the lighter note, I was happy because I wouldn't have to spend more than a thousand bucks for a holster. Yes, I have to spend my own money now. Just last week, I texted my mom that I'd buy a jelly case for my phone and she instantly called to tell me that I've been spending way way way way too much and that I should find a job (since I have denied my dad's offer to work on our family business) because she will be getting my cards at once. Hell, I was so scared that I scantily hid my two card wallet after I went home. Thank God my mom has forgotten about it so that means I can still use it anytime I want. Love you, 'rents! But since I am trying to be a good and tolerable daughter, I'm limiting if not use it at all, my credit card. I will have to muster 1000000000+++% control for that!

Back to my story, I went down to Topshop to check if they have a stock of the bag that I've always wanted since last October. Mind you, while walking, I was burning heaven with prayers to have that bag available. I have learned of that bag when I went shopping with my friends. And since then, I never stopped thinking about it. I even wrote it on my wishlist in facebook. I have decided to make it my graduation gift for myself. Just when I was about to buy it last November (too early for my grad gift, no? As if I already know that I am surely graduating at that time. Hahaha!) when they ran out of stock. Sadly, I have raided most of the malls here in Metro Manila but to no avail, they too, had run out of stock. See? The bag is so in demand! I have made up my mind that I will buy that bag no matter what. I even wrote all the address of Topshop to the country that I went into. When I arrived there at the Paragon, my youngest brother got tired of walking so he insisted on going home. Shizzz. I hated that moment. I was so near CW! But I couldn't blame him since we have been shopping tirelessly in all the malls in the district. The malls district is (maybe more than) five times bigger and higher than MOA's area.

At that moment, I thought that the bag really wasn't meant for me to buy. I know that it is so plain and simple but who cares, I have fallen in love with it. I could've bought it for free since my dad will buy anything that we want and my mom wasn't there to stop my dad and I (ultimate shopping buddies forever!) from shopping. Heeee :)) I have come to a decision that I will look in Topshop ATC for one last time and if I didn't get it, I will buy another bag. But God is so good to me this day! They have just delivered two bags and only one is left in the store! So I hurriedly went to the counter to purchase it (impulsive buyer here!) to the saleslady's surprise. She told me that I was fast at choosing. Hahaha! Don't worry, I didn't shed squillions for it, just a few worthy bucks. And yes, I texted my mom (again) that I will use my card but I will pay her as soon as I get home (I pay less, by the way. That's how I do it. Most of the time, I really don't pay her. This might just be the third time that I have given her money).

Take a look on my bag. It also has a small compartment in front (photo from www.Topshop.com)

And to add some more happiness, three well known companies have called me to ask if I am interested to be a part of their company. This is the advantage of being a graduate in a prestigious university. Teehee :> But I have to think about it first since I already have been interviewed in a company in Northgate and my parents have only allowed me to work in Alabang. One of the representatives of that American company located in Eastwood even adjusted my application to work in Alabang when I told her that I will not work for them in Eastwood. Jeeez, February 16 (and all the rest of 16 in every month) are the best!

Soul Searching

2011-02-14T14:10:00.003+08:00

Just recently, I went out of the country for a soul searching trip. I promised myself that after graduation, I will do my version of "Eat, Pray, Love" and thankfully, I did. Though it is more of "(80%) Eat, (10%) Pray, (10%) Love" :)) Don't blame me, they have great food. It was a 5-day vacation. Short but memorable. It will be too hard to explain [and post beautiful photos taken by my photographer brother] what I did during the trip without selling the name of the destination that I went to. See, I kept it a secret to preserve the memories that I've had in this trip. A lot of people are asking, actually. But since I am not that totally selfish, here are some pictures for you, friends (and yes, pasalubong too!):

Just arrived.

Cruising a river.

Rest before praying.

God will bless me :)

Tour with the sharks.

Happy feet! :)

See my passenger?

Dinner cruise!

End of the Cruise Ship.

Bridge.

With a parrot.

A verrrrrry haggard me.

If you're a travel junkie, you should know by now where I have been! :D It was indeed a lovely trip, adding the fact that all of my plane seatmates are "HOT" Englishmen. :)) Anyway, too bad that I couldn't make it on the Love Festival. We have to go home in the Philippines since my mom was left behind. The airport better give us an explanation about their mistake. But it would be much better if they fire the woman who was everyone's nightmare in the airport. Jeez. Why does she have to exist? :|

I will definitely come back here on June to meet "M______ M______" I didn't have the chance to see him since he was in a province. Next time! :)

Why hello there! I am sorry if I haven't updated for quite sometime. I have been too busy preparing for my graduation last February 5 with a post grad lunch the day after. I feel so glad that another chapter of my life has ended and now, I have yet to start a fresh and good beginning. Truth is, I am out of words of as to how I should describe what I am feeling right now. All I know is happy yet much scared that I have ever been in my life. Happy that I am finally free from homeworks, papers and examinations but scared because I still don't know what to do next. Ugh. This is the so-called "semi-mid-life-crisis". I swear. Anyway, here are some of my graduation pictures.

SAM friends!

CAO friends!

Yayyyy!

MMG friends!

January Song

2011-01-25T21:59:00.004+08:00

A lot has happened in January, particularly on this day. Guess what?

"One should never tell someone else that he/she is going on a diet."

That is one of the main rules of dieting and I read it from a book that I have bought in Booksale last Sunday. It is entitled "The Vice Busting Diet" by Julia Griggs Harvey with J. Patrick Harvey. This book does not talk about eating less but cutting the main food vices of a person's life which is actually the primary cause why one increases weight (mainly because you continue eating the same food with the same nutrients/unhealthy substance). On my part, that would be chocolates, chocolates and chocolates. I am relieved that I have managed to DELETE fries from my dictionary (5 months and running!). I am thankful to my dear Sissy, Mel dela Peña, for inspiring me to continue resisting the tempting sight of french fries (she has not eaten fries for more than a year already. Beat that!). So if you are looking for a guide that will give you tips regarding healthy diet and if you want to know why you should not tell anyone that you are going on a diet, I advice you to buy this book. I am telling you, it does not talk malarkey.

Did I say that it only costs P 115.00? Better grab a copy now!

Aside from spending my time by (obsessively) cleaning my room, sorting pictures and CDs, daydreaming (I've got nothing to do! Hahaha), ~~tragically~~ being online most of the time and eating (all time favorite hobby), I also watch foreign movies like those from France, Spain, Korea and Japan. Last week, I have only finished two movies since I was busy doing what I have written above. I will not be writing a review about these two movies. Instead, I will be uploading the movie poster. The movies that I have watched are "Windstruck" (which is sort of but not really a prequel of the infamous "My Sassy Girl") and "The Classic". Mind you, these movies will bring tears in your eyes. They both have good stories to tell, especially the latter. So if you want to watch a feel good movie or relax and be reminded of the beauty that love brings in this world, I recommend that you download these two.

Windstruck


The Classic

Today was the schedule of my first job interview in a renown company. Out of extreme boredom and to stop my parents from pestering me into working on our company, I applied on this firm. I took a bus who travels in the Skyway (where a bus went on fire yesterday) and then from Ayala, I walked all the way to the building which I thought was not that far enough. Turns out, it took me 30 minutes to reach the place without getting lost (I drew a map of half of the Ayala Avenue with all the landmarks on it since I ran out of ink. Thank you so much, Google Maps!). I did not get tired from walking, I actually enjoyed looking through the buildings. The most dreadful part of my trip was walking on almost half of the underpass in the Ayala Avenue. Yes, I've walked that far. So anyway, I went there all by myself. I was the youngest interviewee among the 50 or so applicants. I got interviewed before their lunch break but I have to stay for a while to wait for my evaluation. The secretary then asked me to take my lunch first since all of them are going out to buy their own food. So I went to eat in Starbucks alone because I was the last one to get out of the building, along with those executive looking men who are also eating alone. Well, only one person is seated in every table! So I guess most of us in Starbucks are alone? Hahaha! Anyway, I waited until 2:30 before they told me that I made it! Boy, I was so glad to hear it although I am not really looking for work nor do I badly need it right at this very moment. Aside from making it, I have also gained new friends. I befriended some applicants who are about two years my senior. We all left the office together. Not bad for the very first job interview as a fresh graduate, eh? :) Anyhoo, because I was very happy to have received such good news, I went strolling in Makati and I thank our Lord for making me do this. Why? Because if it did not occur to me to stroll first, I MIGHT have rode (or might be near) in the bus which exploded earlier in EDSA-Buendia. God has really guided me. Thank you so much, God. :)

Now I can really say that I started the year right. My life is now having its own direction! More blessings to come! Thank you, Lord! I LOVE YOU ALWAYS :)

The Value of Time

2011-01-23T19:21:00.002+08:00

Thank you, Lord, for giving me a challenging yet wonderful life.

Say You Love Me

2011-01-15T20:22:00.003+08:00

The title is based on the song from series "It Started With A Kiss" which I have watched early in 2006 when it was being aired in ABS-CBN. But due to some commitments in school, I was not able to watch all of the episodes (though I'm glad that I get to see almost all of it) in both "It Started With A Kiss" and its sequel, "They Kiss Again". It was only now that I have remembered to finish these series. Yes, after too many sleepless night, I am finally done with the drama! It left me happy and curious at the same time. (NOTE: The drama has no ending because the Japanese author, Kaoru Tada, died before writing the ending. She wrote it in the year 1991, by the way.) I must say that these two series was the best that I have ever watched in my entire life. It simply left me inspired. I suggest that you watch these two along with "Love or Bread", starring the same actors. It was worth watching, after all. :)

It Started With A Kiss

They Kiss Again

Love or Bread

Don't think that I'm starting to become addicted with Taiwanese, Korean or even Japanese drama. It is just that Joe Cheng and Ariel Lin's tandem is one of a kind. You might even think that something is really going on them. Too bad they've decided to reunite on 2015 which is ISWAK's 10th year anniversary (they started the drama on 2005, obviously). That'll be 4 years from now! Oh well, I hope that they end up together in real life. HAHAHA! Come now, 2015! :)

P.S.
You might want to watch "Fated to Love You" which is also one of the highest rated series in Taiwan. And oh, I wish ABS-CBN will back out with the remake of ISWAK this year which will (reportedly) feature Fretzie Berced and an Aaron _______ guy. I do not want this drama to be remade. No, please. NO.

P.P.S.
SINULOG TOMORROW!!!!!! :)

Make It Happen

2011-01-13T20:29:00.002+08:00

Last December, I already knew that I will be graduating on February this year but it was yesterday that I had everything confirmed. The list of graduates are finally out! To prove to you that I really am walking the hallway of PICC on the 5th of February, here's a printscreen of the list:


See my name? :)

The highest grade is 4.00 in DLSU :)

God has given me so much throughout my stay in this prestigious academe. Although I may be having life crisis right now, especially with decision making, what's important is that I am heading close to this one special chapter of my life and after the 5th of February, another chapter will begin. God only wants happiness for me. I could not ask for more. :)

Hag Sameach!

2010-12-28T15:55:00.002+08:00

Greetings, everyone! The term "Hag Sameach" is the Hebrew translation of "Happy Holiday" which is used as a greeting on Passover, Sukkot and Shavuot. Anyway, I won't be ranting about the history of the origin of "Happy Holiday". In fact, I will be telling you what has happened during the Christmas vacation.

Like what I've said from my last post, vacation has been all about "cleaning" and "assembling" my room. But of course, it is not a vacation without road trips, shopping and resting. So far, Christmas has been good. I celebrated this special day with my family and relatives. Although we weren't complete, Skype brought us all together. The wonder of the internet. Hahaha! I received all of the gifts that I want except for a "condo building" (to where the condo that my dad bought for my brother is situated). Yes, I was very demanding. Hahaha! Recently, I splurge my card for the things that I ~~need~~/want. Mind you, I wouldn't splurge up to my credit limit if only they didn't get me mad. So I guess my family are taking necessary precautions to avoid making me mad =))

As for the most recent event of all was one of my besfren's (yeah, our group like to spell it that way) birthday which we have all agreed to spend in Tagaytay yesterday. We were incomplete since Steph cannot make it due to other "sudden" commitments. We tagged our guy friends to come with us to serve as a driver and "alalay" since we wanted to feel very special and ladylike :)) We had a picnic in the infamous Picnic Grove, played games, accidentally met some high school and college friends and of course, it wouldn't be called a trip without taking lots of pictures. Here are some of our pictures:

Entourage. See the birthday girl? Obviously :))

Best of friends forever ♥

Because we want to have bubbles as an effect, Simon has to blow some! Hahaha!

Goofing around.

Exchange gift part.

With my very besfren, Grace.

After that, we headed to Starbucks since Grace hasn't been there yet. We played "Category", had an extra free drink courtesy of Starbucks and just talked about what we've missed from each other and from our batch. Next year will be different again, for sure. Our love for each other is unmeasurable. I hope it gets better and better. :)

Again, Happy Holidays!

Someday, things will get better

2010-12-12T23:13:00.004+08:00

Heyyyyy, I am back! I've been wanting to post something since December 4 but I have too many things to accomplish before Christmas. So here's what you missed on me (okay, very much Glee! Hahaha)

December 4 was the day of our thesis defense. I believe that we have done well with our defense and we actually lead the block. But guess what, there is bitterness deep inside of me. Sad to say but I cannot blog it just in case someone is sleuthing on my blog (which is true, by the way). I really hate settling for less but that is what life has given me so the only thing that I could do is to accept. Anyway, I am glad that we've nailed it and all I need to do now is to wait for February 2, 3 and 5 which is the schedule of the Baccalaureate Mass, Recognition Rites and the Commencement Exercise. As a souvenir for my last day in college, I had my friend take a photo of our group along with our company representative, Sir Xavier. It was a relief, indeed!

(L-R) Aiko, Anje, Hazel, Sir Xave and Me

As for the next few days, I've dedicated it into bonding with my awesome friends in college. I will miss them so much. I know that it's hard to fix our schedule but we're really trying. I never knew how hard it is to leave your friends who have made a great impact on my life. Life changing, indeed. We'll find a way.

Anyway, right now, I am busying myself into fixing my stuff since I have transferred into a new room. Our house is currently under renovation for the nth time. I think my dad is confused on what he wants to do with our house but I'm glad that he's putting a new room- the music room. I think I'll be spending much of my time at home on this room. Heee, thanks to my father :)) And and and, I will be attending Christmas parties a few days from now. Life is getting better and I hope it gets much better once I step into the challenging corporate world. Or should I take a detour? Yes, there's a chance that I might continue my masteral as soon as possible. My charity thingy in Africa may shorten since I am currently fixing some documents for klajdfklajkld. Or I might just stay here at home and rest for a month and then travel. After all, I needed a break from studying. Haha! I really believe that I am confused with what to do in my life. :| :))

Okay, peeps, that'll be all for now! It's past 11:00pm already and I have to wake up early tomorrow to continue fixing my room. Good night! :)

Highway to Hell

2010-11-25T01:04:00.001+08:00

Oh yes. I'm currently taking the highway to hell all because of thesis. My life right now has been all about thesis and thesis and thesis. Yeah, boring isn't it? :| =)))

I think there's an advantage of studying in DLSU. One of it is being good in managing time. Or rather, juggling all the necessay and not so important things on one's busy schedule. Ohhhh, I owe it to the university! Haha. A few more weeks and I'm off to leave college. That soon. So I resolved into bonding with my friends as much as I could because this is the only time where we could all be together.

Here are some of the pictures from the past few weeks:

SONGS FOREVER

November 12, 2010

Teresa Yuchengco Auditorium

De La Salle Innersoul's 13th Anniversary Concert held two weeks ago.

I have been in this group for more than two years and they have made a great impact on my life. I've learned to value friendship more than anything else, to never lose my faith to the Lord and to continue life despite all the trials and difficulties that arise.

THRESHOLD

November 19, 2010

Forum 3, PICC

My friends and I went partying after weeks of doing nothing but school work.

It was a hell lot of fun, as always. And oh, it was Wes' birthday too!

So much for today. It's 1:00 am already! Gaaaah. Too much for thesis break, eh? :)))

I'm Pretty Sure I Didn't Meet You Just For Nothing

2010-11-01T19:50:00.003+08:00

Quite a long title, eh? Oh Yes.

This will be the first and (I don't know if the) last time that I am ranting something about what I really feel for this person. I just need to clear my mind.

It has been years since we grew apart from each other. I've moved one and so did you.

And then, you came back.

It started with a "Hello" in y!m. We met again. We chatted for what seems to be hours. Or rather, it was you who never stopped talking. In some ways, I loved it. You have always been quiet but you've changed. I guess college really did make a great impact with your attitude. And so, thanks to college. During that time, I was happy because FINALLY, the state of awkwardness has gone past us. After all, it was glad meeting with a long lost friend (as for your part, lover).

And the rest became a part of history.

I know we're just friends now. I KNOW, OKAY? But what the hell. Your actions/messages are hard to decipher. It was clear from the start that this is all we'll ever be. But now, I think I am breaking the rules. My friend, Wes' rules, in particular (Rule: Let Go. But Do Not Shut Him Out of Your Life.) I cannot settle on weekly late night ice cream (with I-am-trying-not-to-cry-in-front-of-them) talk with my Taft tropa, namely, Wes and Dave. I know that the time will come that I will have to tell you the truth. The truth of why I have to leave you. As much as I want to talk to you on the 13th, I can't. I am extremely busy with my thesis and I need to reconnect with my college friends. So, maybe next time.

I know we're like Stefan and Katherine.

You're as cold as Stefan and I'm as outspoken as Katherine.

It simply means that we're not a perfect pair.

This is the problem with getting attached to someone. When they leave, you just feel lost.

Often times, people deny what they really feel inside.
But how can someone deny if actions can show what they try to hide?

Let's Color It

2010-10-26T13:50:00.002+08:00

I am currently taking "my-self-declared-break" time. Then, I suddenly thought of the ColorGenics which was introduced to me by my dear Charmed sister, Josine. I sort of believe in what this website tells about me because most of what it says applies in my real life. Imagine that. Quite reliable, right? So, as of today, here is the result of my test.

Name:	Hannah
Date:	Tuesday 26th 2010f October 2010 06:33:29 AM
Colorgenics Number:	1/2/3/5/4/6/7/0/

You are the sort of person that needs a peaceful environment. You seek release from stress and freedom from conflicts and disagreements, of which you seem to have had more than your fair share. But you are taking pains to control the situation by proceeding cautiously and you are right in doing so as you are a very sensitive person.

You enjoy taking part in anything that may constitute fun and excitement. You need to be stimulated and need to feel that 'Life is worth living' and you are awaiting that stimulation and you don't particularly care where it comes from!

You are a dreamer and you seek perfection in any relationship that you may establish. Some of your ideas and standards are over the top so it may be a good idea to review your perception of life and accept people for what they are - not for what you would like them to be.

It is said that we are all influenced by our environment and indeed you are no exception. It would seem at this time that even though you may be surrounded by people, you are experiencing an inner loneliness. Fortunately you are sufficiently strong minded to realise that life has a great deal to offer you and that you may miss your share of experiences if you fail to make the best use of every opportunity. You therefore pursue your objectives with a fierce intensity and are prepared to commit yourself deeply and readily. You believe that whatever you would like to do or think 'you can do' - you do! It is because of this attitude that you may be considered by others as arrogant and even conceited, but its fair to say that whatever it is that you really want out of life you will put your heart and soul into it and will not take 'NO' for an answer.

You have so many ideas that you would like to revitalise but you need to realise a stable and peaceful condition to do so. Once you can free yourself from all the aggravation and tension around you, you will make strides that may amaze you. You will not be prevented from achieving all the things you so desire.

All I wanna say is that I agree to what ColorGenics has written for me. I want a very, very peaceful environment. I wanna go to someplace where no once knows me, read a book in a park and hopefully try to lock eyes with my future guy (Scratch that. I was just kidding! Hahaha!). It is just kidn of (or should I say, TERRIBLY AND ABSOLUTELY) weird that there in one part of the result that really got me (try to back read and find the "you can do-you do!" part). My friend and I were just talking about it last night. Including all of my very tragic mishaps, problems, etc. And he said those words too. Hmmm, coincidence, I think? But it struck me. Now, I really believe in what he said. Thanks to him. :)

I.MUST.FINISH.IT.

2010-10-23T16:04:00.001+08:00

Why, hello there! I said from my last post that I will write a blog entry a week after it but I guess I was wrong. It has been a month since I last posted something here in my blog. Anyway, I've been thinking during the last few days of changing my layout. So here it is. I've decided to go on pink (which in irony, is one of my least favorite color) because I kind of find the white and pink combination very relaxing. :)

A staggering 19 days is all left to me until I face "hell" a.k.a. thesis submission. As the day goes nearer, I feel like all the energy and optimism that I have on myself are slowly being overcome by fear and hopelessness. Yes, fear and hopelessness. I can't believe that I am saying this but I don't want to hide what I am really feeling right now. I believe in my thesis group's capability. I never doubted it. I guess I am just too scared to commit mistakes. This is (hopefully) going to be my last term in college. AND I PRAY AGAINST ALL HOPES THAT THIS WILL REALLY BE MY LAST TERM IN COLLEGE. My dad even texted me yesterday that he is expecting me to graduate on February 2011. Imagine the pressure :| What's harder is squeezing my internship, thesis, school org work, family, friends and even "me-time" (CCP jogging and Swimming!) on my very unhelpful schedule.

As for my thesis, the biggest challenge is on how to finish it before November 12. It is one of my most awaited dates of the year (but it kind of turn around since it also coincides with the submission of thesis). Why? Because it is my group's concert day. Shizz. Look how extremely tight my schedule is for that day. Crying because of it seems to be useless. I would only waste my time by doing so. And so, I will end my blog with my mantra: I.MUST.FINISH.IT.

Right Here, Right Now

2010-09-24T14:27:00.001+08:00

Hello, fella's!

Sorry if I haven't been blogging for so long. But I do have a post which was saved in drafts. I just forgot about it. Hihihi.

Anyhoo, this term is my OJT and Thesis term. This is going to be (hopefully) my last term in College. Whoa. It all came so fast. Right now, I am having my internship in Ortigas, which I consider a faraway land. But I'm thankful that the company's office is situated there. See, there are a LOOOOOOT of malls! HELLO, SHOPPING! :))) And so, because of work, I am experiencing a lot of fun activities. If only you know what all those things are! :D

The downside of working is that I am verrrrrry far from school. I miss hanging out in my org's office, chatting with my friends and most of all, staying in school. Every night, I always rush to school to at least make it to my group's rehearsal. Like what they say, "better late than never". I really hope that there will come a time that I am going to make it earlier in school. What's the purpose of going there if all my friends are already on their respective homes? None. DUH.

Right now, I am very, very thankful to my friends who always accompany me to eat dinner every night. It's so hard to get a friend especially when they're all busy doing their homeworks.

Okay, I have to stop now. I am actually busy doing something important. I will post again this week. I have too much in mind! Toodles!

Best tennis shot, EVER.

2010-09-01T14:06:00.000+08:00

You really are an awesome dude, Federer :)

Day Ten

2010-09-01T13:54:00.002+08:00

DAY TEN: ONE CONFESSION

1. I've been bitten by a dog thrice. Imagine that. All three incidents were not my fault. Maybe it's because I was soooooo skinny then, so they thought that I look like a bone. HAHAHA!

Day Nine

2010-08-31T22:15:00.002+08:00

DAY NINE: TWO SMILEYS THAT DESCRIBE YOUR LIFE RIGHT NOW

1. :((((((
Define how stressed I am at this time. Finals and some other interview are freakin` me out. Gaaaah, I hope all is well next week.

2. ;;)
This smiley represents the "battling eyelashes" in y!m. I'm just kinda excited on what's gonna happen on saturday. It is what I've been looking forward this week! :D

Sorry if I am not using a "real" emoticon. I don't have time to edit my entry. I am just way tooooo busy now.

Cold Open

2010-08-30T23:56:00.002+08:00

After watching the Emmy, I got hooked with Jimmy Fallon's Cold Open. It was the best Emmy Opening, ever. Uhmmm, okay. Jimmy and Neil performed the best Emmy Opening! :D

Here's the video of this year's Emmy Opening:

Day Eight

2010-08-30T22:41:00.002+08:00

DAY EIGHT: THREE TURN ONS

1. EYES. Wait, is it even a turn on? HAHAHA. Anyway, if you've got the same pair of mesmerizing eyes like those of Ian Somerhalder, Chace Crawford or Logan Lerman, I would chase you. =))))

2. GENTLEMAN. Everyone loves a gentleman, right? :)

3. HAS A GREAT SENSE OF HUMOR. Woooot! Just what we all need right now, laughter.

Day Seven

2010-08-29T17:23:00.002+08:00

DAY SEVEN: FOUR TURN OFFS

1. PLAYER. No, I don't mean athletes. I meant all those guys who text every single girl that they meet. Guys, you should learn the dictionary meaning of LOYALTY.

2. ALWAYS LATE, OR WORSE, NO SHOW. I've met a guy who is unmindful of time. The worst scenario that has ever happened is when hours before a date, he will text that he is not coming anymore. What a douche bag.

3. VAIN. I hate guys who are obsessed with mirrors. I believe that it's a girl's trait. But whatever.

4. JERK. `nuff said.

Day Six

2010-08-28T23:40:00.002+08:00

DAY SIX: FIVE PEOPLE WHO MEAN A LOT (IN NO ORDER WHATSOEVER)

Instead of naming particular persons, I've decided to write them as a group :)

1. FAMILY. They always come first :)

2. BESFRENS. There are actually six of us in our group. Gaaah, I miss them so much. :(

3. SAMS. I am lucky to be a part of this org. Now, I know what direction I should be heading.

4. BLOCK 2 and my AWESOME Marketing shiftee block. Even if we are no longer complete (in the case of Block 2), we somehow managed to remain in contact with each other. I smell another reunion here :> And as for my awesome marketing block, one more week and we're off to our separate ways! WE ALL JUST HAVE TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE GOING TO BE COMPLETE ON GRADUATION DAY. :)

5. INNERSOUL. And I will sing for you. You are indeed the best thing that has ever been given to me.

DAY FIVE

2010-08-27T14:38:00.002+08:00

DAY FIVE: SIX THINGS YOU WISH YOU'D NEVER DONE.

1. NONE.
2. NONE.
3. NONE.
4. NONE.
5. NONE.
6. NONE.

There's nothing MAJOR, MAJOR problems or mistakes that I've done in my life. Or if there is, I've already forgotten about it. I learn from all of my mistakes :)

Day Four

2010-08-26T20:58:00.002+08:00

DAY FOUR: SEVEN THINGS THAT CROSS YOUR MIND A LOT

1. FINALS. It'll be next week! How can I not be bothered about it?

2. FOOD. I always think about what I want to eat after I nail my exams on thursday next week. On the top of my list are pasta, gelato and chocolates.

3. MONEY. I lost a heck of money weeks ago, now I need to start saving again. Oh, money diet.

4. SLEEP. Every college student lacks sleep. Particularly LaSallians. One more week and we're off to partying! :))

5. INTERNSHIP. I am so confused with where I want to do my internship with. What company to choose? Guide me! :|

6. TRAVEL. This is what I've always wanted to do ever since but I don't have the luxury of time to pack my things and escape the bitterness of (college) life.

7. ROOM CLEANING. Ever since I've become busy with my academic requirements (I've never been a carefree person this term), papers and some other things has started piling up both in my room at home and in my dorm. Now, it's time for me to start cleaning.

Day Three

2010-08-25T22:43:00.004+08:00

DAY THREE: EIGHT WAYS TO WIN YOUR HEART

1. CHOCOLATES. I am not particular with the brand but if you're really desperate to win my heart, buy me Lindt, Ferrero Rocher or Royce. But then again, since chocolates are one of the best creations in the world, I would go for any brand just as long as there are almonds on it :)

2. GELATO. Gelato is known to be healthier than the typical ice cream that we eat. Because of Gelatissimo (in Greenbelt), I became addicted to it. Imagine how often I think of it. You could ask my friends.

3. HOT CHOCOLATE. Not the typical hot chocolate, okay? I prefer the hot chocolate from Cafe Breton or Starbucks. Actually, any type of hot chocolate from any cafe. Whenever I go out (with friends or all by my self), I buy this. It relaxes me.

4. PASTA AND MACAROONS. I've just eaten these two earlier. How I miss those days when I still live in our house and my mom would always make these (every other day) just to satisfy my craving. A better way of ending a very stressful day is to eat what you love.

5. HOT AIR BALLOON. You're just not going to win my heart. I might marry you. Kidding! HAHAHA!

6. ONE DAY. One day full of laughter and stories. Just make me laugh all day :)

7. EXTREME ADVENTURE. Bungee jumping, cliff diving, scuba diving, wakeboarding, surfing, parasailing and/or skydiving. Seriously.

8. JUST ALWAYS BE THERE FOR ME. `nuff said.

P.S.
I feel like I always crave for food. :)))

Day Two

2010-08-24T20:33:00.006+08:00

DAY TWO: NINE THINGS ABOUT YOURSELF.

1. I am a stupid girl. Why? Coz I tend to do such stupid acts. Gaaah, this is a realization.

2. I am not a soda drinker. I’ve got this stomach whatever-you-call-it sickness which bans me from drinking soda or juice. Through the years, I’ve managed not to drink soda. Once, I’ve drank a glass of it and I almost choke. I guess it’s not meant for me to drink it. :| =))

3. The only channels that I watch on the television are Star Movies, Star World, AXN, HBO, National Geographic, Discovery Channel and DISNEY CHANNEL. In short, I am not a fan of Local shows (where’s the nationalism part here?) But hey! I don’t loathe those local shows, I just prefer some other things :))

4. FRUSTRATED. That’s what I am. A frustrated doctor, painter and United Nations worker. Scratch the painting part. There is no chance that I am ever going to be a good artist. Becoming a doctor is quite impossible at this time, but who knows, I might be one someday. And and and, being a United Nations worker (or even better, an Ambassador!) is what’s keeping me very persistent to finish college :)

5. I HATE PINK. Yes, I am a girl and girls are supposed to love pink but it’s not my thing. I say no to pink.

6. Traveling is what I wanted to do in my life (aside from my UN goal). I feel like I was born to travel. Travel maps and pictures make me giddy. That’s why there are some points of my life where I just wanted to be rich (without working really hard) just so I could travel. But that’s a bit impossible though.

7. I consider books as one of the greatest treasures in life. I’d invest all my money for the UN, travel and books. I am such a fanatic, okay? You would always see me in all book sale and/or whatever bookstore that is.

8. If you want to make me cry, give me a Nicholas Sparks book or make me watch all of his novels-turned-into-movies products. I would die just to see him and sign all of his books that I bought. Another fact is, I don’t watch horror/gore movies, I listen to them, instead :))

9. I suck in writing random and nonsense things.

Day One

2010-08-23T15:45:00.003+08:00

Day One: Ten things you want to say to ten different people right now.

1. Hello! I miss all of you! It has been weeks since we have last seen each other. I miss those times where we could all be just ourselves and do all those crazy stuff. I can't wait for us to have our reunion again. This September, maybe?

2. I always look up to the day that we are going to see each other again. Your weird sense of humor and sensible stories are the things that I always look forward to every time we meet. I can't wait for our next Cafe session :)

3. I don't like the way you're treating us right now. What's with all those heavy requirements that are to be submitted next week?

4. I am very thankful that we've somehow become close friends. All those secrets that we (or rather I) have shared are really funny and interesting. I know that we will have more bonding moments soon. And when I say soon, it means tomorrow!

5. Hey there, Cape Fairy! I am glad to have met you this year. FUNtastic- that's how I define our experiences together.

6. You're irritating. Nobody seems to like you now. Better change. SRYSLY.

7. I am very very very thankful to the three of you to whom I always share my stories with, may it be a good one or not. We're going out soon, okay?

8. You confused me. I am actually not sure why you're like that. Jump away, boy.

9. To my awesome group of friends, our last academic term is about to end. Two weeks. Two crucial weeks. Next term, we'll be seeing less of each other so let's make the most out of the two weeks remaining to us.

10. I AM NOT A LEAVER. "ME IS TEXT". I LOVE ALL THE 29 OF YOU. NEVER DOUBT.

On My Arrival

2010-08-23T15:12:00.002+08:00

My blog has been on hiatus for almost two months already. It's not that I'm neglecting my duty as a blogger, it's just because I have been too preoccupied with my academic and social life. The reason why I'm coming back now is to post my 10-day project that I found in Tumblr. Here:

Day One: Ten things you want to say to ten different people right now.
Day Two: Nine things about yourself.
Day Three: Eight ways to win your heart.
Day Four: Seven things that cross your mind a lot.
Day Five: Six things you wish you’d never done.
Day Six: Five people who mean a lot (in no order whatsoever)
Day Seven: Four turn offs.
Day Eight: Three turn ons.
Day Nine: Two smileys that describe your life right now.
Day Ten: One confession.

So I'm starting it now...

Happy Birthday!

2010-06-27T18:35:00.003+08:00

It was, indeed, a very happy and memorable birthday for me! I spent the day with the people who never fail to make me smile. Woot! Thank you, thank you, thank you to all of you! To all those who greeted, whether it was late or not, I don't care. What is important is that you still remembered my birthday. To the people who wore RED on my birthday, thank you for doing so. I know it was hassle but nonetheless, you obliged with my request! HAHA! I thank God that you guys were given to me. I hope this happiness never ends :)

I fail in Archery, yet, I'm an Archer :)

With the Coolest SAMs!

With Enchong Dee. He wore a RED shirt also. *teehee*

MAKE IT FUNNY ♥

Where Heroes Are Made

2010-06-12T22:11:00.001+08:00

The UAAP Season '73 teaser was finally revealed! DLSU will be hosting this year's UAAP and that makes me excited! The only dilemma is that the opening of UAAP is in conflict with my midterms in one of my majors. Oh, I still hope that my professor would adjust the schedule. *teehee* Anyway, I hope you like the teaser! :)

THE ANIMO OF AN ARCHER!

Rock the Vote!

2010-05-10T21:42:00.008+08:00

From 7am to 7pm, the precincts in Molino Elementary School was opened for Filipino Citizens who took the challenge of making a change for their country. And I am one of them.

This is my first time to vote since I was not yet eligible to do so last 2007. Excited, nervous, irritated and tired. Those were the feelings that I have felt this day. I was excited because as like what I have stated above, it'll be my first time to vote. Nervousness also came into me while waiting for the PCOS Machine to accept my vote (it actually took me 10 seconds or more before it accepted my ballot) and also, being in an election, no one really knows if there is something bad that might happen. I arrived at the precinct at 1pm and it took me 4 hours and 30 minutes before I have finally made contact with the first ever Election ballot that I have ever touched (excluding school elections, of course). The election was in chaos, there were a lot of people who couldn't find their names on the list and to add some more irritation, the heat in the place was extremely overrated, you could be burn in an instant. Anyway, the waiting was worth the time because I have some friends and families who were there to stay with me even after they have all finished voting and it was just Joyce and I who were left to vote. These were our numbers earlier:

Arriving at 1pm got me this

I must say that despite all those problems that Comelec and Smartmatic- TIM have experienced days before the election, the automated election was somehow successful. At least, teachers,watchers,BEI and many other officers will no longer be staying in the wee hours of the morning just to manually count the ballots. Automated Elections made things easier. And I know that it'll be better on the next election since the authorities have now figured out their mistakes. What I wanted to change in this election though is the "vote buying" and "violence". I do hope that people will realize that it doesn't benefit us.

I am amazed that as early as now some candidates has already accepted their possible defeat. And that is what a true Filipino is! Presidential candidate Gilbert "G1bo" Teodoro made this speech earlier:

"If I lose in this election, I humbly accept it. But I will remember for a lifetime the experience and support of my fellow countrymen."

This election, people should vote between being wise and being responsible. Voting for who the majority wants is wise. Voting for who you want is responsible.

Here goes my proof of becoming a responsible citizen: THE INDELIBLE INK

I hope everyone learned a valuable lesson from this election. God bless the Philippines!

Click! Click! Click!

2010-05-05T21:23:00.004+08:00

I have been facing the computer for a couple of hours already. Tumblr, Candy, Facebook and Blogger keep me busy. My Ian Somerhalder posts are a huge hit in Tumblr. I am not surprised to know it, well, since Ian is one wicked vampire that you just can't resist. Candy is full of PBB comments. Tsss. Facebook, everybody's universal home, is boring. Blogger, on the other hand, is an occasional task.

Anyway, right now, I am looking for underwater camera housing for my brother's SLR. I will be needing a housing for my underwater escapade on the end of May. Luckily, I easily found a site that sells one. And here is what I've found:

It looks pretty cool, eh? But the price shocked me. It costs a whooping $1,399.95! It sure looks like a superb housing but the price, na-ah. My mom's instructor told her that a housing costs only $17. Errr, so I guess I need to find a new site. But this is really awesome! They're planning to get this though. My dad is insisting to buy a new camera for me (and I never want that to happen). They're just too many in the house. I believe that some other things are important than that. And by "some other things", I meant; shopping, travel, shopping and travel. Summer is soooo exciting for me. :) Okaaay, I am starving now. See you next week :D

Summertime

2010-05-04T13:37:00.001+08:00

Why, hello there!

Summer has officially started since April 23. And here I am in our house, a bum.

It is not because I (or my family and friends) don’t have plans for summer. Rather, it was the other way around. I can’t get to sort all my summer plans for this year because they’re just too many and most of them are planned, and as usual, planned outings never meant to happen. Well, except for my first gimmick last Monday. I do hope that all my plans will push through for me to have a very memorable summer. Last year wasn’t a typical summer. Why? Because I’ve decided to try summer classes. Not that I’m delayed, but I just want to experience it. Anyhoo, I promised to myself that this summer will be different. Because this summer is the last summer that I’ll ever have in my entire college life.

I’ve been all giddy to end the last term of my junior year, and so, it ended the way that I expected it to be. Summer has finally come and I have things that I am yet to try.

1. Cliff diving. This will have to come on May. This is too exciting for me because it’ll be my first try. (Note: I am not going to try the cliff diving clip of Bella in New Moon because it is very very high and I can feel that the water is too cold. This will have to wait though)

2. Mountaing climbing. I’ve already tried doing this before but not in incredibly towering mountains. My knee problems since I was a kid have prevented me from doing it… and so are creepy stories (based from the books and internet stories that I’ve read and from the movies that I’ve watched. I’d try to be brave, really.

3. Bungee jumping. This is already universal, but I haven’t got a chance to make an effort in doing it. I’d do the sling shot (bungee jump) first. But this is totally exciting and fun, I am sure of that.

4. Sky diving. Woah, this has got to be the most impossible thing that I would do this summer. First, I don’t think sky diving is a hit here in the country. Second, no one’s going to come with me to brave the unfeasible. And last, I am not ready to do this. Bungee jumping has already given me enough fear to fathom, what more of this?

5. Sky walk and edge coaster. These are my recent achievement. Teehee J And I am doing it again on May. Hang over, eh?

I have yet to discover my passion for extreme sports and/or activities. Keep posted!

The Only Exception

2010-03-24T16:52:00.002+08:00

Hello, blogger. I haven't opened you for weeks. Well, school is more important than you- so that mean's I'm excused for not writing blog entries.

The last time I wrote an entry was in Valentine's Day. More than a month ago.
Retreat. University Week (which was superb, by the way) and Cebu.
They're the three most exciting things that happened to me this past few weeks and I missed a blog entry to those! Argh. I'm so forgetful.

Anyway, I am in the library right now with my friend. Could you believe that? I am actually starting to maximize my library fee. Thanks to my Product Management subject to which I owe so much. And on this term, I was also able to maximize my clinic fee! Woot! I asked for two biogesic just this term, and also, I used Neozep (I think) from the first aid kit that we had while in Cebu. It really was something for me. :))

My biggest dilemma as of this moment is our paper in Product Marketing. We just put our best in doing our paper in the last 12 days before submission. And to worsen it all, one of my groupmates is as terrible as what you could think of (like hell,maybe). We only have 6 days left before we could finish everything. On that same, we will have our very last crucial exam in economic development. Now, where will I start first? Good thing we have a free cut in my last subject. That way, my friends, Angel, Mame, Hazel, Gelo and I will be continuing our battle. I won't tell you what it is but it is very funny. :D What we play is the only thing that keeps us sane. Oh well, I hope I could really finish everything before this week end. I still have a party to attend to, you know. :)

On holy week, I'll be back on writing in my blog.
I am banned from using my facebook account. :)

My Valentine

2010-02-14T16:02:00.003+08:00

Today is obviously Valentine's Day. And of course, the Chinese New Year.
But for no apparent reason, I am not celebrating. Why?
I am not bitter (DUH) but we all have to cancel our date for this day because I'll be dating someone more important. Or should I say, something. Yes, it is our Economics report which is due on thursday. And we haven't started on it yet. Cramming is really hassle. Ugh.

Anyway, it's been a month since I last updated my blog. I thought of not promising to update this every now and then since I don't keep what I say. School stressed has become a routine for me. A lot has happened. I don't even remember most of it. HAHAHA.

For the last 4 weeks that I haven't updated this blog, it seems like "RENT" is the only thing that I can't forget. I watched it with my dear friends, namely, Mich, Chioa, JM, Ryza, Chichi and Wes. It was good to see people from Innersoul (I am talking of Kuya Fred, Gian and Johann) performed in a musical. Music has inspired me. And although the piano and flute are the only instruments that I can play, still, it makes me feel that I know a looooot about music. Now, I promised to myself that I will start watching as many musicals as I can, even though it means burning my pocket. :))

To be honest with you guys, I have really nothing to say as of now. I have an unpublished post which I will be putting here soon. The truth is, I just want to greet everyone a Happy Chinese New Year and a great Valentine's Day! Being single isn't really important, what matters is that you love. :) I just want to share my favorite love quote of all time. It's from Shakespeare's Hamlet (Act 2, Scene 2). Here it goes:

“Doubt thou the stars are fire,
Doubt that the sun doth move,
Doubt truth to be a liar,
But never doubt I love.”

Start of Something New

2010-01-10T18:35:00.003+08:00

Classes are officially going to start tomorrow! My heart and mind are a bit happy and sad. Happy, because I'm back to school and I could all see my friends again! Sad, because vacation will have to end. Oh, goodbye to endless sleeping.

One thing I really hate about first day of classes is introducing yourself in the class. The worst thing that could happen is when you are being asked to introduce IN FRONT (and mind you, some teachers would even want their students to do stuff like showing off their talents or whatsoever), which is the last thing that I would want to do tomorrow. It's just a bit embarrassing for some reasons.

I'm starting to prepare my things now. Actually, it's just my planner and pens in my bag. I still haven't gotten myself fillers for my subjects. I forget. Tomorrow, I will be visiting the library (if I don't get my book to read for the weekend), CAO office (to update the requests) and of course, Innersoul's booth. :)

So, I will have to end it here. I really should start preparing my things. GAH, I hope I'll wake up early tomorrow. Toodles!

Right Now

2010-01-09T21:16:00.003+08:00

I have never been so stressed in my life... Like, I actually wished I could die right in this moment to ease all the pain that I'm feeling. Argh.

Anyway, since I came home from our trip, all I did is to read and watch the Harry Potter series. I am extremely obsessed with it AGAIN. I seriously read almost all the articles in the internet and I learned Arithmancy, Hermione's favorite subject. I felt like memorizing all the characters. HAHAHA. It sounds surreal, I know.

This vacation is the worst that I've ever had. I cannot wait to go back in the dorm and live an independent life. School's about to start two days from now. And I fervently pray that this term will turn out better than the last one... adding PD in my list. *Teehee*.

I think I'll be dead broke at the end of this year. All with the movies that are lined up for this year. But I will really try my best to save all the money that I could have just to watch all these movies. I say no to piracy, remember? Anyhoo, I'm so giddy to watch all of them, most especially Dear John, The Last Song, Alice in Wonderland, Valentine's Day, Harry Potter (I WILL NEVER MISS THIS ABOVE ALL), etc.

Can't think of anything to write here. My mind is into scattered thinking.

I'll update this blog on monday. Toodles!

It's Gonna Make Sense

2009-12-31T17:06:00.003+08:00

To end this year, I am offering you a song that I've learned from PBB Double Up Edition.
I hope you enjoy this one because I did.
Click the link, please. And here's the lyrics. :)

Michael Learns to Rock- It's Gonna Make Sense

Life comes in many shapes
You think you know what you got
Until it changes

And life will take you high and low
You gotta learn how to walk
And then which way to go

Every choice you make
When you're lost
Every step you take
Has it's cause

Chorus:
After you clear your eyes
You'll see the light
Somewhere in the darkness
After the rain has gone
You'll feel the sun come
And though it seems your sorrow never ends
Someday it's gonna make sense

Tears you shed are all the same
When you laughed 'till you cried
Or broken down in pain

All the hours you have spent in the past
Worrying about
A thing that didn't last

Everything you saw
Played a part
In everything you are
In your heart

Chorus:
After you clear your eyes
You'll see the light
Somewhere in the darkness
After the rain has gone
You'll feel the sun come
And though it seems your sorrow never ends
Someday it's gonna make sense

Release:
Someday you're gonna find the answers
To all the things you've become and all they've done
At your expense
Someday it's gonna make sense

Another Year Coming

It's a New World

It's a New Start.

The year 2009 is about to end. There were a lot of ups and downs. This is actually one hell of a worse year. But in the end, I was able to get through all of what happened. And I'm glad I did. :)

Since another year is coming, I've decided to change my blog. This is actually the first entry. So, cheers to that. :D I haven't changed the url though because the url that I want is no longer available. Screw to the user. :|

Anyway, I will be updating this every now and then.
Tomorrow (or later), I will be posting pictures of some of the most memorable experiences I had in this year. Good luck to me.
I would like to say hello to Hazel, whom I forced to make a blogger and tumblr account. Haha. I am actually waiting for her new layout too.

New year, new layout. :)

I miss blogger!
Have a wonderful year ahead, friends! :D
