Work Mode

Me and Cating are such an angel since we are in the mood of working really hard from Friday night to Saturday dawn.. (Paging! Our beloved CEO, we need a raise! Hehehe) Maybe because, I don't have "ka-chikka" since my partner in crime is glued in her laptop, which left me with no choice but be serious digesting with the code too. Looking forward for our poker night every Friday so that Friday will be a fun day! Or if not, I'm gonna grab my luggage and travel somewhere. Hehehe.

KC's Watch

Sharon Cuneta reportedly gave KC Conception a Cartier watch as her graduation gift. And the watch costs 1.2M lang naman! Syeeet! That could buy house and lot already! It is said to be a dimond-studded watch, so, I imagined it probably looked like the one in the picture. Can you imagine wearing a million worth watch? And lose it to the snatcher? Waaah!! Not so. Well, who knows? Sharon Cuneta will give me a Cartier watch too? Nyahahha!!

Crazy Over Digby!

Today is officially a Marie Digby Day for me... I spent hours listening over her videos in YouTube, and wished I have half of her talent... Waaah!! So, here's another video called Miss Invisible, one of my favorites.





Theres a girl
Who sits under the bleachers
Just another day eating alone
And though she smiles
There is something just hiding
And she cant find a way to relate
She just goes unnoticed
As the crowd passes by
And she'll pretend to be busy
When inside she just wants to cry
She'll say...

Chorus

Take a little look at the life of Miss Always Invisible
Look a little closer, I really really want you to put yourself in her shoes
Take another look at the face of Miss Always Invisible
Look a little harder and maybe then you will see why she waits for the day
When you'll ask her her name

The begining, in the first weeks of class
She did everything to try and fit in
But the others they couldnt seem to get past all the things that mismatched on the surface
And she would close her eyes when they left and she fell down the stairs
And the more that they joked
And the more that they screamed
She retreated to where she is now
And she'll sing...

Chorus

Take a little look at the life of Miss Always Invisible
Look a little harder I really really want you to put yourself in her shoes
Take a little look at the face of Miss Always Invisible
Look a little closer and maybe then you will see why she waits for the day that you will ask her...her name

And one day just the same as the last
Just the days been in counting the time
Came a boy that sat under the bleachers just a little bit further behind...

Spell



by: Marie Digby

Spotlight shining brightly, on my face
I can't see a thing and yet I feel you walking my way
Empty stage, with nothing but this girl
Singing this simple melody and
Wearing her heart on her sleave

And right now
I have you, for a moment I can tell I've got you
Cuz your lips don't move
Something is happening
Cuz your eyes tell me the truth
I've put a spell over you

Beauty emanates from every word that you say
You've captured the deepest thoughts
In the purest, and simplest of ways
But you see, I'm not that graceful, Like you
Nor am I as eloquent
But just a simple melody
Can change the way that you see me

And right now, I have you
For a moment I can tell I've got you
Cuz your lips don't move
And something is happening
Cuz your eyes tell me the truth
I've put a spell over you

And all my life I've stumbled
But up here I am just perfect
Perfect as I'll, ever be

I have you, for a moment
I can tell I've got you
Cuz your lips don't move
And something is happening
Cuz your eyes tell me the truth
I've put a spell over you

---

i love her! she's pretty and talented, a singer-songwriter, guitarist and pianist! at first, i thought she's a Filipina, but according to Wiki, her mother is a Japanese and Father is Irish-American. Check out YouTube for more of Marie.

Saving For More Projects

More projects for me this year that inspired me to save, save and save. First, I want to travel both local and international destinations. In my list are El Nido and Boracay, while I want to go to Hong Kong for outside the country destination. Hoping I can visit these places before the year ends. Crossing my fingers!

Then, I'm also supporting for my Mom's projects at home. Slowly, she is renovating our home, so that means MONEY, too. Aside from that, she's planning to buy some teak outdoor furniture.

I'm gonna work hard so that I can play harder!

The Weekend

Weekend means travel for me for the past days, and I traveled to Bohol for 3 consecutive weekends already. Geesh, for the fare alone, I have to budget more or less 1K. Tsk tsk tsk. And this coming weekend, I intend to just stay put... and magpu-asa ug laag.

----

For the first time, I talked to Chy longer than the usual the other day. She was so excited to share to me her new shoes, lunch box, uniform, new school, and a lot more. Sobrang daldal! I won't be surprised if she will asked me for a skate shoes soon!

----

Tomorrow is Inse's death anniversary.

I miss her.

Fasting on Shopping

This month is a very busy and fun-filled month for me. And comes with that is also an expense-filled month too. Buying unnecessary things is a no-no especially that I just splurged lately. Well, a good and healthy splurge actually. Hehe. Roaming around Ayala today, I was pretty much successful with my fasting even if I was close to buying some Nike apparels and Dansko sandals. At least I prove something to myself today. :)

David Cook Rocks!


I kept my hopes low last night that my "manok", David Cook will win American Idol, especially after Simon said that Archuleta scored a "knocked out, but, by the way apologizes before the winner announced today.
But just before the winner was announced, Cowell uncharacteristically backtracked. He offered Cook an apology and said that the competition "wasn't quite so clear cut as we called it" — even letting on that, for the first time, he felt either finalist would have been a worthy winner. --- news.yahoo.com

But, turns out, that Simon's comment last night did not affect voters since David Cook wins with a margin of 12 million over Archuleta. That really made my day. :)

But, I am a little sad since AI is over.... looking forward for another fun season of AI!

Endless Celebration

I'll attend another wedding this coming weekend. 2008 is no doubt the wedding year. My friends who are getting married complained that getting married can be very expensive that they have to give up their wedding dream plans to minimize cost. No to borrowing of money just to have that grandiose wedding since after the wedding, you still have milk, baby cribs, education and endless expenses to face. Well, just makes sense. Hope all couples who are getting married don't forget that. :)

Cheers to all newly weds!

I'm Back!

Yep, I am back from my long weekend vacation with my family. And because I was disconnected from the world of internet for quite awhile, I am now flooded with work, and I have so many things to catch up.

For the meantime, you may want to check the pictures so that you will have an idea what I've been doing over the weekend. Just click HERE.

Window Shop and Shop!

Roaming around the malls in my home province, I am surprised to see some items that I've been looking in Cebu that couldn't find for some time now. Like I've been searching for a certain Ecco shoes that I only found it here. I didn't expect that in a small city! It's what you call don't underestimate small cities! I guess I'll do some of my shopping here:)

Random Thoughts Before Going To Bed

On my way out from the mall this morning (Sunday morning), I passed by a stall that sells corn and bought one for myself. I am not a great fan of corn, and it's been awhile since I have eaten one. Just curious why Cating loves corn so much. Hehehe. And after eating, still, dili gihapon ko ka relate ting. Ahihi.

---
I'm gonna try connecting to the internet using my phone.. probably tomorrow though I haven't figured out how to do it yet. My one month subscription of WeRoam will be over this week. Tapos na ang mga maliligayang araw ko. :D

---

Miss Cebu won the Miss Earth Philippines. Wala lang. Made me proud na rin even if I am not a true blooded Cebuana. :)

---

Reminiscing Palawan when I saw Matt Mendoza being interviewed regarding his business in Palawan. He owns the Casa Linda Inn where we stayed last year. Yup, he is still a cutie. And shy too.

---

Time to go to bed. I hope to be up early tom, and be back to normal sleeping habit again! Nyt!

Dreaming of my own Space

One of my dreams of having before I said goodbye to singlehood (though no plans in leaving this state yet... ) is to own a condo unit. I know, a lot of people would say that it's not practical as an investment, and it's really better to have a house and lot. Yup, I totally agree with that. But, for the sake of DREAMS, I want a condo unit!

Cebu is now starting to adopt the trend of creating condotels. There's one in Lahug, in Escario and in Business Park that are currently under construction, and I am sure there are still more. Probably, I will start being an agent so that I can buy that dream condo! I certainly don't want to face foreclosure problems later on, so, this dream should be well planned, and well worked for! Hahaha! So, anyone wants to buy a condo here in Cebu? Just contact me! (No kidding!)

Family Bonding

Picture was taken last year at Plantation Bay, and this year, and that's next week to be exact, we are planning to hit our very own Panglao beach. I am just excited since Ate and Chy will be there too! Hope Kuya Chuck can join us in one of our outings in the future. And I am now looking for the best deal where we can stay in Panglao... with a price not as expensive as Sea Pines rentals. Next stop will probably be Camotes with some of my friends... well, crossing my fingers! :)

Have A Break

I told myself awhile ago that tonight should be a rest night for me, especially that I worked more than 12 hours yesterday. And that supposed to mean, I should not be writing this in the first place. Actually, blogging is a break for me after doing some serious stuffs. When I was still in college, I also do journal using those colored ink pens, as a break from studying. I guess, time is up, back to work!

Tired.Happy.Blessed.

Tired --- working for more than 12 hours already. Well, it's by choice actually. I just have so many tasks and to-do's and that includes some help I extend to my loved ones. Sometimes, I have to extend more efforts to accomplish everything. It's tiring, but, seeing your accomplishments, the smiles on their faces, and hearing the thank youS are more than enough. It makes me one HAPPY person already. Someone reminded me yesterday that happiness is real when shared (thank you, you are one living example... and forever, I will look up on you). And I couldn't agree more. I feel so BLESSED with the work that I have right now, the opportunities and the wisdom that these experiences gave me and I feel so rich for having supportive family and caring friends.

Though I can't afford a lot of things in this world, but nevertheless, I feel like I am wealthy already with all the experiences that I have. I can't buy a fancy car, not even a car's spoilers, or a house and lot probably, but, I am happy... and that's what matters most.

Yes, I am tired, happy, and blessed and I can't thank the Lord enough!

Currently Listening To Alicia Keys



NO ONE
I just want you close
Where you can stay forever
You can be sure
That it will only get better
You and me together
Through the days and nights
I don't worry 'cuz
Everythings gonna be alright
People keep talking
They can say what they like
But all I know is everything's gonna be alright

No one no one no one
Can get in the way of what I'm feeling
No one no one no one
Can get in the way of what I feel for you
You you
Can get in the way of what I feel for you

When the rain is pouring down
And my heart is hurting
You will always be around
This I know for certain

You and me together
Through the days and nights

I don't worry cause
Everythings gonna be alright
People keep talking
They can say what they like
But all I know is everything's gonna be alright

No one no one no one
Can get in the way of what I'm feeling
No one no one no one
Can get in the way of what I feel for you
You you
Can get in the way of what I feel

I know some people search the world
To find something like what we have
I know people will try
Try to divide
Something so real
So till the end of time
I'm telling you there is no one

No one no one no one
Can get in the way of what I'm feeling
No one no one no one
Can get in the way of what I feel for you
Oh oh oh...

Fiesta Na Naman!

I am looking forward to spend couple of days at home this coming Fiesta. Thanks God for the always improving technology, I can now spend more time at home without worrying if I miss an important calls or emails. Even if my town is kilometers away from the city, we can now easily access the internet and has a very clear cellphone signal already and no need for a cell phone repeater.

As much as I wanted to invite friends over this coming Fiesta, but a lot of them can't since it falls on a weekday. Too bad. But, I am so excited since Ate Yen and Chy will be coming home! Yeey, exciting! :)

God's Plans

A lot of times, we are clueless on God's plans for us. Sometimes, we question Him of our hardships and pains in life, and ask Him why all the sufferings. But, for us to be strong, there should be trials so that our strength will be tested and will make us prepare to face whatever lies ahead . Let's always remember that God always wants the best for us.

Thank You Lord for the strength, the failures, the pains,the frustrations and all the answered prayers. I will always trust in You.

Disappointed

I totally agree with Cinema Evaluation Board when they gave When Love Begins a grade of B, as in BORING. Yes, Cating and I are fresh from the cinema, and we are 140PHP poorer. Totally not worth it. Syeet, the whole movie is a disappointment... the story is so dragging. I blogged about this movie twice, so it means, I am that excited to watch this movie, and look how disappointed I am now. :(

Still, nothing beats John Llloyd-Bea's One More Chance. I am planning to watch it again just to make me feel better...
