want to help?

My first time to help someone I just bumped in the world wide web. You may want to start reading this if you want to know what I am talking about:

http://www.miofightscancer.com

There are lots of ways we can help this little boy; we can include him in our prayers for one. You can also buy Ala's artwork and proceeds will go to Mio. You can check out Jim Paredes' blog entry if you are interested to buy: http://haringliwanag.pansitan.net/?p=767. Or you can help by just spreading the word regarding this cause.

this girl can dream.

I love to drive my own car someday... and I am all ready for that day. I know how to drive (well, need to be polished and probably a refresher course would be great) and I already have an student license which is by the way, expiring. Hehe.

And yes, I already have choices for my car... and my top picks? Kia Picanto, or a Hyundai and a Suzuki car (didn't get the model for the Hyundai and Suzuki... basta kanang cutee car.) Of course I can choose the more high-end and expensive car like Mazda 3 or a Volvo, but, I am just keeping this dream as reachable as possible, though, it is still impossible for me to buy my dream car at this moment. Maybe, if I'll win the lotto? I can start betting tomorrow. :D

What I am not probably prepared are the expenses if I'll have my own car. I have to budget for car insurance, rv towing, daily gasoline and car maintenance. Oh well, I don't need to think of those things right now and stress myself on something that is not there. Hehe.

I have to blame the Cullens for making me dream of having a car someday. Haha! But then, it's free to dream... so, why not? =)

my thoughts at 2 AM

* Enjoyed cooking here at home. But, one thing I noticed is that I don't have the appetite to eat what I am cooking. Hmm. This can be a good thing though. :)

* Watched Britney's concert in DVD when she was still 18yrs old. Don't you know that I am a Britney fan before? Aside from her great body, she's very talented! I love the way she danced! But, well, that was before. Hehe.

* Irritated by the fraudulent emails that I received from time to time. I hope these people who are behind this phishing will be locked in jail. And I hope that people online are aware of some identity theft protection for their safety.

* Currently reading a heartbreaking novel, Lovely Bones. My first time to cry over a book.

That's all for now. Got to read the book before I'll sleep. :)

the player in me

I am not the sporty type of person, but, I know I have a heart in sports. Way back in high school, I can only wish I was part of the players instead of the Cheerleading team. But of course, I was aware that I will never be an asset if I will be joining in the sports team. But, I did enjoy dancing and cheering though, except for the long hours of practices. After all, it's about Team Sports, so, if one can't get the steps/routine, then, everyone will suffer.

I know it will never be too late to be into sports again, though the issue now is how to manage time. I am currently enjoying everytime we play badminton, and I want to go back to dancing again! I love, love, love, hip-hop! I am still contemplating about it since it will definitely cost me much. Also thinking of learning a new sports... hmm.. Volleyball perhaps? Never really love the game though. And yeah, I have this urge to wall climb again... only that I am not confident yet if I can still carry my weight. Boo!

So little time, and so many plans to realize!

i am tired.

And I need a good sleep. And good sleep means:
  • no waking up in the middle of the night
  • no unpleasant dreams
  • falling asleep after few minutes in bed (and not hours!)
I think my difficulty of sleeping has something to do with my being a "worrier", that even if I have a tired body, my mind will be 100% active. And when I get disappointed over something, my heavy heart will tend to wake me up too. I just envy those people who can sleep easily!

So, I hope I'll have a good sleep tonight especially that I had a good badminton game today. Time to free my mind for awhile from life insurance lead expenses (which will be due next month, huhu) and some other expenses and free my mind from anything that bothers me.

So, I kinda accept the fact that I will not be traveling this year anymore, except travels to Bohol. Heheh. Kinda sad, but, ana jud na ang life! :)

superbroke.

I am broke now, but I'll be super broke next month. I will have some expenses coming my way that I totally forgot about it. Grrr. So people around me are having travel plans these coming days, and I will be stuck here with my feet tied. I should stop browsing for cheap flights, or browsing for the next destination, and checking on those travel sites and check Myrtle beach vacation rentals and the like. I know I had a short break a week ago, but, it was so bitin that I want some more! :(

So, aside from work, reading books can really make me grounded these days. And in my previous post, I mentioned that I might be reading Cecelia Ahern's Love, Rosie next and tadaang!!!


bought it already, and done reading it in less than 24hrs. :( I should have read it slowly. :( Good thing, I have another Cecelia Ahern's book to read. Thanks C! :)

So I guess, my coming weeks and months will be spent reading (if not working) and I will only imagine that I am traveling places through my readings. Haay.


PS. Lingaw ang Love, Rosie. Though naa unta ko gusto nga ma happen sa story. Hehehe.. magbuot jud sa author ba. :D

done with my books!

I am done with Breaking Dawn the other night and time to place my 4 books in my shelf, though other books are still not with me. I am eyeing Cecelia Ahern's Love, Rosie for my next reading. I admit, reading books can be very addicting, and would surely mess up my schedule, but, I can also say, that it's a good distraction and would surely make me stay away from malls.;) I really do need to stay away from malls, especially that I am saving up for the next project at home. House materials like area rugs can be so expensive. So, thanks books! :)

I just realized recently that not all people are blessed with good friends like what I have right now in my life. Thank you Lord for giving me these beautiful people! And thanks friends! I love you all =)


xoxo

cry baby

Really cried bucket of tears yesterday while watching Kris Aquino's interview in the Buzz in YouTube. Sadly, I wasn't able to watch the Buzz last Sunday because of power outage. Grrr, I so hate it when that happened because it also means, I can't go online. When can we be a brownout-free country? Hopeless. Anyways, I never cried hard as much as I did yesterday when watching a movie/scene. I was moved by Kris' story. Good thing, I was just in my room and not in the office with friends... for sure, they will be impressed again with my "crying" skills! hahah!!

So, I was asked what's in Cory that I admire the most... and I said, it's her being prayerful, and very close to the Lord, and being the best mother to her children. I know she was not perfect and all, but, she made a great impact to people, even those ordinary people who doesn't even know her personally.

Thank you Cory, for being an inspiration, and thank you Lord, for giving us a person like her. :)

---

I am still at home and loving every minute of it! I just realized that it was the first time that I slept in my room the other day. My small haven is quite empty yet, but, I already have plans on how to put life on it. Excited! The family has so many plans regarding small improvements we can do with our home, and we are taking it slow especially that we need to be prepared financially too. House materials like ceramic tile are expensive! These things inspire me to work and save, and look forward to a very relaxing home in the future =)

And oh, I am supposed to cook here, but, I wasn't able to buy the needed ingredients (excuses!). Hahah! Ok, I don't know how to cook, and having a househelp at home made me so pampered! Ok, I promise, I'll volunteer to cook these coming days granting it's only me and my mother and Naksi who will eat. Nyahah!

Tata! Coffee break!

my prayer


Christian MySpace Glitter


FORTIFY me with the grace of Your Holy Spirit
and give Your peace to my soul
that I may be free from all needless anxiety,
solicitude and worry.
Help me to desire always
that which is pleasing and acceptable to You
so that Your will may be my will.

By Saint Francis Xavier Cabrini
