Tagalog Movie GreatCan't wait for Wednesday! It's our date with Aga and Anne. ;) Call us baduy, but these kinds of tagalog movies (not all) are worth paying for. And actually, we seldom pay for English movies since we have an overflowing bandwidth in the office and English movies are just few clicks away. PEACE. :D Though we can also download Tagalog movies, but, clear copy comes 3 months after, and we can't wait that long. :p
Now, the next Tagalog movie in my list is probably Sharon's movie about Care Giver. She said that this movie will show us the real life of a caregiver abroad. Chy's swimming teacher told us that some caregiver take swimming and driving lessons since before going out the country since it's a big plus in their resume. Each caregiver will be given assisted care facility ratings that will help them land a job. So, the higher the rating, the better.
Cheers to all OFWs! :D
I basically stayed home the whole weekend because the weather just made me lazy. I always love to have weather like this, a time to just stay in bed and watch tv and dvds. And yes, I find time to watch shows that I seldom see on weekdays. There is this one show that talks about our poor countrymen and it made me feel so blessed and thankful on whatever I have right now. There's this 10-year old boy who only have 3 slippers in his lifetime and now, he is going to school without slippers because his parents can't afford to buy one. :(
Even if I did not have many toys or dresses when I was young, I still feel so lucky. And Chy is luckier this time too, though, we still wanted to give her more always. She's into swimming lessons right now, able to ride an airplane at a very young age, had a proper potty training and enrolled in a private school. I hope, when she gets older, she will also realized the value of the things she got, and be thankful for it.

Photography 101I am doing my readings again about photography. The problem with me is that I easily forget things. Is this a sign of age? Heheh. Yeah, I am planning to take landscape pictures again. I think the idea of it makes me alive again. I am also planning to buy extra memory for my cam since, I am still a newbie, (for a long time now... heheh) and I want to take a lot of pictures as much as possible and experiment on different settings. So, I think I will do notes this time in my study. :D
We are already middle of summer, and no beach for me yet... can you believe that? Hehehe. It's just that last year, my summer was full of sun and sand. My beach plans last week was cancelled… sadness. Hopefully, next week will be it... I don't want to be over excited with it because I am afraid I will just get disappointed. Tsk. My digital cameras are all ready for this escapade. Can’t wait to capture the beauty of the beach!
I never thought that raising a dog is expensive. Hehehe. Noah's dog supplies are costly especially that his food is Alpo, the one with vege, liver and beef. We tried the other brands but he's not eating much. Not to mention, he got his own shampoo, soap and vitamins. And yeah, the vaccines are really costly!!! But, it’s ok, he’s a friendly puppy and he certainly brightens our home.
Again, thanks Donst and Tanin for this very playful puppy.

positive, positivei am trying to stay positive the past days, even if there's a lot of negative things around. tried to stay calm even if i am near at boiling point sometimes. tried to stay away on arguments, and tried to stay silent and just keep things for myself.
and i intend to stay that way.
How many people are now popular because of YouTube. In the Philippines alone, Charice Pempengco is already known in the whole world because of her powerful voice after performing in Ellen Degeneres show and this May in Oprah. By just posting her video in YouTube, she now have a very promising career.
The other day, I also watched a video of a Korean kid while showcasing his talent in guitar. Just search it in YouTube and you will know what I mean, especially his performance Come Together by the Beatles.
There are lots of video collections already uploaded and can be viewed for free in YouTube. But, with this free service available in the internet, one should know what should be uploaded and what’s should not be uploaded. Just like what happened to the operation done in Cebu last January, which now became a national issue. Well, one thing I can say about the issue is that, whether you are one of the plastic surgeons of the rich, or a plain doctor for the poor, you should respect your patient and be professional.
In general, I love YouTube! :)

Celebrity BusinessMany celebrities now are not only busy on television, but also with their own businesses. I watched a talk show the other week that showcased their businesses. So, here are the following celebrity businesses:
* Vina Morales and her Ystilo salon. She's quite successful with her business with more branches nationwide and an international branch is also under negotiation.
* Mylene Dizon and her fashionable laptop bags. And I want one of those! :)
* Arnel Ignacio and his hair transplant business. Good for people who wants an instant long hair!
* Tim Yap and his famous Embassy club
* Martin Nievera’s perfume
* Joyce Jimenez’ scent, or was it lingerie? Or was it both? Hehehe. Not really sure.
* Ara Mina’s restaurant. But, I heard her restaurant was closed? Hehehe.
Well, I am sure, there's still a lot to be added on the list. Those are some of the celebrities who knows how to manage their money well. Good for these celebrities, they don't need to hire endorsers to promote their business.

You're so Vain!Even if I am not as kikay compare to others I think I still have that "kikay" blood in me. My sisters are kikay, like, they are all experts in makeup and all, and as for me, a face powder and a lip gloss is fine everytime I go out. But then again, it runs it the blood, so, I am kikay then. Heheh. Lately, I was influenced to buy the lipstick that my Ate used... and it's a little bit expensive for me. But, since I bought it, I am a certified kikay na! Hehehe.
But, some women are just vain to the highest level. Like, they will really spend money to change their butt, boobs, nose, etc. A lot of our local actresses here have their nose done at Belo, while Hollywood celebrities at San Francisco rhinoplasty nose jobs. But, even if time will come that I will have extra money, I will never have my nose done. Hahhaah!!
So, what’s next on this kikayness? A makeup class, perhaps? Ahihi.

Earth DayBefore going to sleep, I would just like to greet everyone Happy Earth Day! Hehehe. I just noticed that Google has an Earth Day theme on their logo today. Let's love planet Earth, and let's be conscious on what's happening in our environment now.
Good Morning, Earth! :D
I am still up at 4AM, doing some serious and not so serious stuffs, and I hope it will paid off soon. It's very tiring, that's why, I am blogging now to cut the monotony of it. Lately, my sleeping habit is messed up again, which explains why I am still awake in this ungodly hour. But, I will try my best to sleep normally again especially that I am having pimples and I definitely don't want to visit my derma and advice me to buy those expensive acne treatment. Hehehe.
So, I guess this is a blogging night... I mean, morning. :)
Until now, I am still waiting for our health insurance provider so that I can have my thyroid check for free. Just a month ago, my sis was diagnosed of a hyperthyroid. It actually runs in the blood, that's why in the family, we are advise to have a check up as early as possible.
Now, I am really tempted to get my own insurance though I am not familiar with any term insurance yet. So, I'd better do my research before I will decide.

Fiesta Season Is Approaching!If you are from Bohol(yes, I am a proud Boholana), and you are currently outside the province, you now probably book your flight home. The month of May is the fiesta season in Bohol, and it means... FREE FOOD for everyone! It also means, bonding and reunion to family especially those who now settled in other province or country will go home. But, seriously, it's in the honor of the Patron Saint of a particular place. Like in our place, our Patron Saint is St, Isidore, the Saint of the farmers.
Fiesta season also means expenses. Yes, from food to drinks, to small improvements at home. Home fixes and improvements range from changing to Baldwin cabinet knobs to creating a fence or construct a new room. Hehehe.
So friends, are your ready for this???

Don't you just wish to travel with no hassles? Well, I know, that's every traveller's wish. In my experience, before going to a certain place, I really do the research very well, and check the a-must see place, where to dine, what to eat, etc. I don't want to miss anything especially that I might step foot on that place or country only once. Yes, it's nice to go back again and again, but, with all so many places to visit, well, this lifetime is certainly not enough. So, might as well take the most on each visit because their might no next time already.
My last adventure was in Singapore, and I would say adventure since it was totally an unplanned trip. Though I would say that there's still so much to see in Singapore, I will blame it to time constraint. Next time, I have to plan ahead. And maybe next time, my next stop would be New York City? Hehehe. I don't know, but, definitely, I will see all the New York City Attractions without missing anything if ever. I have bump this site City Sights NY that will cater every tourist needs: from double decker sightseeing, Manhattan cruises to helicopter rides. Convenient, huh?
I have learned in my past travel experiences... so, time to take another exciting adventure!

Business TipsStudies reveal (well, I don't really know if there's a formal study about it) that most successful businesses have a color RED on their logo. Some examples of these said businesses are the famous Jollibee, Chowking, McDo, KFC and National Bookstore. So, if you are in the process of starting a business, don't forget the color red and an eye-catching digital signage would be nice too.:)

Beautiful DayOne beautiful day today. Nothing special happened, but, I don't know, it just feels good. Though there's something off happened, but, I was able to shrug it off. Time to embrace positivity in my life! Aja! :)
It's a rainy day today, and I think there is a tropical depression or something... and with this kind of weather, I always get lazy. I just stayed in bed the whole day, and just ate pancit canton because I don't want to go out to buy a real food. How lazy could that be? But, honestly, this kind of weather calms me down. The sound of the rain outside, the scent of my new bedding sets, and the silence around me, set me on a reflective mood.
Today, I had to reprimand my alter-ego for misbehaving lately. Being angry or in pain, or whatever unpleasant feelings are not excuses to act impulsively. It's always a challenge for me to act accordingly especially on difficult situations. And I've successfully done it before, so, there's no reason why I cannot do it again this time. Just deep breath, and of course, a constant prayer for guidance.
And before I know it, this will be over soon.

Dying To Have A Broadband Connection!I was really excited to have a broadband connection in my room last week, so, I started to work out on my plans and move my butt so that I can have that dream connection. So, here were my plans:
Plan A: Transfer my housemate's unused internet connection.
So, I went to Smart Center to apply for relocation, but, sad to say, my housemate has pending dues and I can't have the connection if he will not pay for it, and my housemate is not open to paying the bill since he claimed that he reported to months ago that he has a problem connecting to the internet
Plan B: Apply For Broadband Connection
Ok, originally, that's Plan A. But, sad to say, my landlord does not allow antenna on his roof after the SmartBro staffs put a hole on his roof.
Plan C: Connection Sharing
I proposed to my landlord that I will take share of their internet connection, and pay half of their bill. But, until now, no response. So, I think, it's a NO.
And if all else fails...
Plan D: Time To Relocate?
Now, I have more reasons to relocate. One reason why I also want to relocate is I need more space. My room becomes smaller and smaller everyday with all the things that we have. I can only die with envy seeing a furniture catalog, and wish I have one for my clothes and other things.
So, plan D then?

Know Your CompetitorTo be successful in business, you should know your competitors well, get their strengths and weaknesses, and "out-strategize" them. With the emergence of ppc intelligence, ispionage.com will provide you knowledge that will certainly be your great power in the market world. Here are some of the things that they will provide you: reveals your competitors’ SEM strategies, allow you to view competitors’ current and past ad copy, reveals who is doing split testing, tracks competitor’s ads, and many more.
For me, this service really sounds interesting.

Insomnia Strikes AgainSlept at around 6AM in the morning already. I know, I should be careful in what I eat. No to caffeinated food or drinks during bedtime. Having insomnia is really a pain. It's like sleeping while being awake. I know it sounds crazy. I really can't fully explain the feeling. And during these times, PC games are my bestfriend. But until now, I haven't completed Zuma yet. Hehehe.
And I love the Tower Defense flash version too.

I seldom remember my dreams, but, dreaming of snakes last night simply alarmed me when I woke up this morning. Looks and feels real to me. In that dream, I saw many snakes in the road, and even bitten by some snakes. I just shook my numb hands and the pain was gone.
So, I google the meaning of dreaming on snakes, and here are some interpretations:
- an unresolved issue
- hidden fears and worries that are threatening you.
- symbolize a fear of the unknown
- point to a deep seated anxiety that something isn't right or a nagging feeling that something is waiting for them, something bad, like a snake in the grass
- exotic and possessing hidden wisdom.
- a snake bit dream may point to learning to overcome a situation and regain your power in life.
I was hoping for a meaning that says that there is money added in my savings accounts . Hehehe.

If I fell in love with you
Would you promise to be true
And help me understand
'cause I've been in love before
And I found that love was more
Than just holding hands
If I give my heart to you
I must be sure
From the very start
That you would love me more than her
If I trust in you, oh please
Don't run and hide
If I love you too, oh please
Don't hurt my pride like her
'cause I couldn't stand the pain
And I would be sad if our new love was in vain
So I hope you see that I
Would love to love you
And that she will cry
When she learns we are two
cause I couldn't stand the pain
and I would be sad if our new love was in vain
so I hope you see that I
would love to love you
and that she will cry when she learns we are two.

PhotoHunt 9: Glass
I will have my glass/bottles of mango juice for this week's GLASS theme. Picture is taken fresh from my refrigerator. :) This is a must drink this summer season! Have a great and refreshing weekend!
Labels: photohunt
Before this year ends, I am hoping for these 2 things to happen: one is get a life insurance, and two, is hopefully, another travel abroad... hopefully, Hongkong. :) Well, these 2 involve money, so, I doubt if these two are possible. Well, there's nothing wrong in dreaming, and wishing right? So, just crossing my fingers for these two, and if ever none will come true, still fine by me.
Got this from Yvonne's blog. Here's the instruction:
The rules are simple. Comment and I'll give you a letter; then you have to list 10 things you love that begin with that letter.
Afterwards, post this in your journal and give out some letters of your own.
Yvonne gave me a letter I since we met in iComm, our previous company. So, letter I it is...
1. iPod - My iPod is my bestfriend! I have it for more than a year already and still looks brand new! And yeah, I am practically using it everyday.. I just took extra care of it.
2. Ice Cream - I am always craving for ice cream especially this summer!
3. Inquirer - My favorite national newspaper. And since I am always online, no need to buy the paper. Inquirer is just some few clicks away. ;)
4. I Am Sam - One of my favorite movies! I am crying a river while watching this!
5. Iced Tea - My favorite drink. It's healthy and really a thirst quencher.
6. Internet - Who doesn't love internet?
7. Interesting - I love to meet interesting people.
8. Inse Poning- my favorite Aunt, and she's been my second mother since I was under her care when I was still n elementary. She died last year of cancer. Awwww... I miss her so much.
9. Images - In other words, PICTURES! Hehehe. I love taking pictures, usually, the candid ones.
10. Imagine - by John Lennon. No doubt, it's one of the most beautiful song ever written. John Lennon is such a genius! And yep, I am a Beatles fan. :)
So, if you wanna play, leave a comment and I'll give you a letter.. :)
I just had a very tiring, time-consuming and disappointing experience at the post office the other month. I was waiting and expecting a mail for quite awhile already, and since we don't have one of those mailboxes, I always asked the househelp if there's a mail for me, but to no avail. But, what if the mailman just placed my mail near the gate since no mailbox is available, and people from outside got it?
I got tired of waiting that I really went to the post office myself to check it. But when I asked the staff in the Post Office, they told me that I have to wait for the mailman that is assigned in our barangay since he got all the details on the mails for our place. Don't they have a masterlist of the mails coming in? Grrr.. I have to wait for the mailman that is currently roaming around Lahug that time just to ask if I have a mail, and I waited for almost 2 hours!!! And when he finally arrived, it just took less than a minute of his time to tell me "no mails for you". And the disappointed me lose my precious 2 hours, with no mails in my hand. How disappointing could that be?
If only we could do everything online, like we can have all mails in our personal inbox, instead of in mailboxes..(Though, honestly, it feels great to receive snail mails)..And seriously, I think the government should start improving their services.

They're Just Human, Too!Below is the video clip of Claudine Barreto at ASAP while giving her spiel and she accidentally slipped. It only shows that celebrities are just human too, like us... They are not flawless and they also commit mistakes. One big difference is that the eyes of the public are on them and they have to be careful in all their moves... Mao na, wala nalang ko nag artista, I declined the offer! JOKE! Hehehe.
What about you, what's your favorite expression? Hehehe.

I know I haven't written religiously in my blog the past days, and probably some of my avid readers are already get tired checking my blog with nothing new posted. Well, hopefully, this is it... I am back!! :) I was just so busy the past days with work, and some issues that I have to deal with myself. I just shred some negative energies and it feels great to feel alive and feel positive with life again. All you really need to do is have a happy disposition and you will feel beautiful inside and out naturally... more than what the Orovo products or any other beauty products can do.
Though sometimes, it's really hard to be in a happy and positive disposition, especially when you are going through some tough times. But, the most important is, we don't allow those down moments in our lives eat us up, and drown us into misery. Life is too short to be sad and miserable.

Goodbye, Malubay!It's the end of the road for Ramiele Malubay in American Idol, though, I believe, she will have a singing career after like Jasmine Trias. Obviously, her voice is better than Jasmine. It's just sad that she's already out this early of the competition. She could have chosen a better song that suits her powerful voice. :( But, eneweys, the decision is there, we can't turn back time.
