We Won!!!






I have uploaded some of the pictures and videos on my facebook account.


At first we thought that we'll have a difficult time adjusting to the size of the venue but during the rehersal prior to the program, everything was somehow sorted :)





P.S.

Thanks to those who shared their vids and pics.

Losing Something Important and Gaining Unnecessary Stuff

About a week ago, I lost my player due to negligence on my part. I feel very bleak that time because I'm one of those people who can't function without listening to any music and it is my fault so I don't even bother thinking about replacing it. Looking back, I've already lost a couple of players including a second gen shuffle and my first ever generic mp3 player and even if all of them are really cheap and common, I still bought it from money that I earned! WAH!! I guess my family sensed my mood and my sister decided that she'll lend me her nano until I have enough to buy a new one <3

My only issue is that I'm quite meticulous in searching for something that involve players and cameras and I usually spent days surfing sites such as shopwiki and tipidpc and other similar shopping/reference sites that not only show where you could purchase the item but they also have guides and forums where you could post your questions and check infos on the product you want. It is time consuming but it is worth it. AND I MEAN IT!

I just really wish that my sister won't miss it after a month or so since this is how long I take take to review and make decisions for gadgets like these...

................................^.^................................

Because of many sleepless nights thinking of who might have taken my player, where could we practice for the dance competition AND how could I attend the practice sessions, I somehow gathered several temporary "moles" in my forehead. I'm talking about pimples here okay! @.@ They're ugly, they're big and I have a lot of them now! WAH! It looks like my forehead is experiencing a very fruitful harvest season for pimples >.<

Thank goodness for my sister whom we also call the health and beauty guru (HAHAHA), the pimples population seem to be in control right now. Let's just hope that come contest day, they'll be GONE!

................................^.^................................

And speaking of health and beauty, we've just discovered this makeup brand that is really cheap but does wonders! You should check out E.L.F. (EyesLipsFace.com). They have a wide range of products that's very easy on the budget :) For the actual buying part, if you prefer to do your shopping online, you may visit their site or shopwiki. However if you prefer to visit the mall and try it first, they're available in SM Department stores :P

Randomness for this Weekend

If ever they'll confirm my trip to the UK, I'll definitely check out different hotels in Glasgow, Dorset and Cambridge. Why? Because I saw my college Prof's multiply site and he posted breathtaking pictures! There's also a picture of a hotel in Malaysia (if I remember correctly) that has a very nice architecture.

I really think that guy has almost everything: brains, money, the TALENT (for teaching and photography) and looks. He definitely looks cute for me in a rather dorky way [NOTE: I love dorky look! Ask any of my friends and they'll tell you that I really like guys who wears glasses]. :P

................................^.^................................

I really don't want to go anywhere this Saturday since I'll be having a 6-day work schedule this coming week. And I want to hibernate til Sunday afternood. HOWEVER I don't have any choice since I have to buy the fans that we'll be using for our dance. I really am in a pinch >.<>

................................^.^................................

I really want to sleep for more than 6 hours but my stupid body clock refuses to adjust to my new work schedule @.@ I am already thinking of asking a doctor for a prescription drug that I could take but my mama still insists that a glass of warm milk would make me sleep faster than any drug.

................................^.^................................

I do wonder though where I'll get the money to buy warm milk...

Things I'll NEVER Forget Before Traveling Outside of the Country

As usual, because of my busy schedule, I was unable to post the details from our trip to Hong Kong. I've decided to split it into two or three. Some will focus on the concert and the whole HK experience and others will have the photos and the maps and other stuff that I got from there. THIS one however will serve as my primer (or a reminder to myself) as to what NOT to do/forget...

Before the Trip
We encountered several issues but the major ones will be passport delivery delay, choosing between a free place to stay [subject to space availability] or booking a
hotel, bagging the perfect airline tickets, finance and of course, the concert tickets!


Passport
Make sure that you have this before anything else! A concert or game ticket would be useless if you don't get your passport in time.

Airplane Tickets
If an airline have an ongoing promo, grab it and don't wait for others before you make the decision! It might be too late and I'm talking about several thousands here and not just hundreds.

Hotels
There are a lot of ways to
book or look for one. The top and most obvious way is to look online. You may visit sites such as easytobook.com or the lonelyplanet just to have an idea as to what is available.

Luggage
I know it is good to invest in a few quality luggage but lets be practical. If you think that the next time you'll need a luggage for travel would be five or ten years from now, then I suggest that you head to Baclaran, Divisoria or Quiapo and buy something really cheap and please, don't buy those bags that worth Php1x,xxx+!

Finance
Save up and plan! It is and will always be the best thing to remember.


I'll cut this short now since I'm already sleepy. But once my brain received the rest it so deserve, I'll edit this if there are more things that should be listed here.

................................^.^................................

From Japan with Love

I thought my day at the office would still be the same boring stuff however I was surprised when manong told me that a package arrived for me. Can you guess what it is? :D Wehehehe. It is the L'7 Tour phone strap that I've been waiting for ages O.O It is gorgeous and small and kawaii!



Special thanks to Debbie who bought this for me :)

Where's my Mail?

I just so hate receiving late mails! When the postman makes a delivery, they just leave the letters by the gate instead of dropping it in our mailbox >.<

This got me thinking if we should change our
mailbox's size or perhaps we could setup multiple mail boxes. I saw this site that has lots of mailbox designs and I'm planning on replacing ours with something that is out of this site (or a lookalike). At least, it would be protected from the dogs AND the rain. However, I'm still unable to find a mailbox that is for a postman who refuses to look for a mailbox @.@

Second Post for the Month!

Isn't this great?! I mean I am not a blog-type of person since I hate writing and I prefer reading other people rant and rave so I am surprised myself that this site is still alive after 7 months (wohoo!) A great accomplishment for a person who took a month just to write a short description for a friend for their school picture book :D

Surprisingly, I find this really relaxing instead of tedious and it distracts me from TONS of issues that would only give me more wrinkles than I care to have at my age. Things like work, the upcoming dance competition, applying for a second job: these are my daily toxins and the list could go on so I'll just stop with these three, okies?

Anyway, another thing I like about my current "routine" is that I am forced to check my grammar! hehehe. I don't have a perfect grasp on any of those grammatical mumbo jumbos so please bear with a few errors here and there. In fact, I would really appreciate it if you could point out these mistakes to me :)

-----------^.^-----------

My post lately was all about toys, my search for toys and more toys so I'm thinking of shifting the focus on my manga and anime fascination for the coming months or so since their days are numbered*.



*Explanation to be posted on a separate title since my brain is telling me that I should sleep or else my eyes would destruct in 10 seconds...

Treasure Box!

I have mentioned that I am currently infatuated with building sets and puzzles, right? Anyway, found this really neat site that showed me *finally* where the good, old fashioned toys could be found!

It is really, really neat and they even have the
hometown carnival set which is similar to my Happy Meal Ferris wheel. And if you'll visit their site, they even show what is the usual price range for the item you're searching for, all the stores that has it and the price per store! Online shopping made easier since you won't have to switch or bookmark different pages when comparing different offers :)

I think my luck is really improving with regards to these kind of stuff :D

The Ferris Wheel I've been Looking for

After a long time of asking fellow toy collectors about a ferris wheel toy free with every Happy Meal between 2000-2003, I was able to locate someone who is selling it. But first of, let me show you what it actually looks like...



Tada!

The model on the right is a little bit small since you'll need a total of 50 set to create the ultimate ferris wheel model. I just wish that I have kept the brochure so that I could upload it >.<

Anyway, I'll contact the seller and check how many set he has and how much of course since if he'll charge a very ridiculous price, then I'll just settle for the building kits that you'll find in Divisoria and Baclaran >.<

My First Ever Digicam

After how many years of using a Canon SLR, I've finally decided to try a generic brand before buying something fancy (which what I'm itching for right now >.<)


Anyway, got a really good deal for this video cam since it has 4 freebies and their promo that time was: 1 gig SD card, camera case, tripod and a secret gift! :D (I am such a sucker for freebies). And, and, and you could pay it in 3 installments! *wink wink*

Well, as you can see from the pictures below, the image quality is okay for its price however, the BATTERY LIFE sucks bigtime! The maximum number of minutes I've recorder was just around 10-11 minutes. Take note: minutes. On top of that, the shutter speed is really slow that majority of the initial pictures are blurred despite using the stabilizer function to minimize the blurryness-chuva. It got me thinking that that might be one of the reason why free tripods are included in the package. lol. So, this is therefore NOT recommended for shooting action pictures and I suggest that you switch to video mode and get the pictures from it instead. Believe me, you'll just tire yourself trying and trying and trying AND failing.


P.S.
I now have 2 tripods: the freebie and the 1 for my SLR. And I almost forgot, the freebie is a mini-tripod. The one that could sit on your desk kind (uber cute!). Just look at that cutie :D If it weren't for this guy, I wouldn't have gotten the cam >.<

Trip Last Sunday: Pictorial in the Rain

Been uber bored last Sunday so my sister and I decided to go out for a walk and FORTUNATELY, I brought my camera along. Hehehe. Here folks are some of the fruit of thy trip :)





This is my sister and on the background, of course, is our flooded place. Of course not all of the pictures look like these! Here are some of the nice ones. Well, nice if you'll compare it to the others that I got.







*********^.^*********




I do have a few pictures of my own since I think it sure is unfair if I won't have a few shots.

Look at that! There is me shadow! Oh and from the next shot, you can pretty much tell that I am wearing something green that day and that I'm also wearing my flipflops :)







And last but not the least......

Pops in Seoul's 1000th Episode live in Manila!














K-pop buddies in the Philippines, this is OUR time!

VJ Isak and a special guest (tba*) would tape Pops in Seoul's 1000th episode here. It will be held at the Manila Film Center on July 5, 3pm. I guess this is their way of saying thank you to the Filipinos who supported their program. And not only are they thanking us, it also shows that OUR country is now being recognized as a possible venue for other K-events in the future :) Well, let's just cross our fingers and hope for the best. Hwaiting!

Oh, and before I forgot, the bestest, best part about this is that it is for FREE!!! And since Cassph, together with Arirang, will be organizing the event, you could visit http://cassiopeiaph.multiply.com/ for more information. See you there :P

NBC Shopping Made Easy!

I was looking for nightmare before christmas merchandise when I stumbled on this particular site which is just very neat! It is the wikipedia for shopping and google all rolled into one :) As in! All you have to do is just type what you're looking for and voila! It would give you the merchandise that's available and a link to different sites that actually sells it. Just look at this replica (A Jack Skellington 18in Limited Figure), I've been looking for it for quite some time but when I visited shopwiki, not only did I found the shops that stocks it but I also found a bargain. I mean the original price is 249.99USD and the site is selling it for only 79.99USD! I don't know what to call it other that lucky me :D (Have I mentioned that I just love bargains?!)
Anyway, here's another reason why I just love the site. My mama is looking for wet/dry vacuum since our old, reliable just died on us. If you try to search for it, not only will it give you the sites where you can buy it, it will also displays a buying guide! I mean, how cool could it get?! I definitely love it since I don't have to open another browser just to look up the specs of a good vacuum (I also forgot to mention that I am a geek on top of being a bargain lover ^^;).

So, to cap it all, this site gets full marks on my book ^^V

Failing Sight

Just got my new eyeglasses this month and the change was very drastic! From a grade of 550-600, it is now 600-750. I think I'll be a beggar if I keep on updating my grade every year T.T

Anyway, that's the reason why I have searched for some eye care pointers to remember (yung applicable sa lifestyle ko lang ha!):
1. Use the correct lighting everytime you read. (note: try to forecast the lighting style you'll use, as if pwede daw!)
2. Do not use excessive eyeliners or other makeup material for the eye.
3. Rest your eyes before washing your face (gusto nyong ma-pasma?!)
4. Avoid meddling with the eyes as far as possible such as rubbing the eyes often, or squeezing them.
5. AND place the light fixtures properly. Just like fine art lamps, ndi sila pwede ilagay na lang kahit saan :)

Anyway, I fervently hope that this would help or I suppose, if I do remember them, it'll somehow slowdown the degenerative effect of reading and stress to my eyes @.@

Childhood Reflections I: Reap What You Sow

Hmmm di ko alam kung ano ang nakain ko (malamang OD ako sa chocolate dahil sa training?!? O.o) pero naalala ko lang tong paboritong ikwento ng mama ko kapag pinaguusapan nila yung mga 'moments' ko nung bata ako. According to her...

Bata pa lang ako eh curious na raw talaga ako sa mga bagay bagay at isa sa pinaka sineryoso at paborito kong subject eh science. Nagkataon daw na may project kami nun na magtatanim kami ng munggo sa dalawang box (labelled as A and B, malamang *snickers*) at i-dodocument yung mga changes na naganap sa loob ng isang linggo.

Sinundan ko raw talaga ang growth at developments ng dalawang box at kumpleto ang obserbasyon na isinubmit ko. Kaya lang, nagtataka sila dahil nagpagawa daw ako ng mas malaking box para lagyan ng halaman. Syempre naman, iginawa nila ako dahil kala nila school project pa rin eh. May itinanim daw ako dun at araw-araw kong dinidiligan at binibisita at kung ano pa (siguro kinakausap ko rin yun kasi dapat daw kausapin ang mga halaman para maging maganda ang tubo... {weirdness talaga!}). Anyway, matagal daw akong ganun at sa SOBRANG tagal, napansin nila na nadedepress ako dahil walang tumutubo. Tinanong tuloy nila ako kung ano ang itinanim ko. At syempre ang maganda ko raw na sagot "buto ng manok". Kasi sabi ng teacher ko, kapag nagtanim tayo ng buto tulad nung sa mungo eh siguradong may aanihin tayo. At isa pa eh ipinagtataka ko raw talaga kung bakit dumadami ang mga langgam sa kahon! WTF! Ang logic ko ata eh kakaibang lebel! Pero tama naman di ba? May sense kung baga. Ang pagkakamali ay nasa teacher ko. Ndi nya kasi nilinaw ang pagkakaiba ng buto ng hayop at buto ng halaman...

HAHAHAHA. Kahit ako tuloy natatawa nanaman :D Wala akong maisip na moral of the story dahil ang masasabi ko lang, MALI TALAGA TEACHER KO!!!

Ploning

Kamusta naman ang matagal na pananahimik?! Matagal na dapat akong nag-post dito kaya lang natambakan ako ng mga bagay na dapat ayusin nitong mga nakaraang buwan. Well, di ko itatanggi na may halong katamaran na rin yun ha. Nauwi tuloy sa planner yung mga dapat kong ilagay dito. Kasi naman, masipag talaga akong magbasa pero sobrang tamad magtype at magsulat. Promise! Itanong mo pa sa mga dati kong klasmeyt. May sekretarya ako nung elementary at HS =) Siguro bukas, kapag sinipag uli akong magtype, maipopost ko lahat ng entry dun... Malay natin :)

--------------------------------------



Nakita nyo na ba ang trailer ng bagong pelikula ni Juday? Kung oo, aba! magcomment ka dito at sabihin mo ang iyong opinyon para ma-enganyo ang iba na panuorin ito! At kung hindi pa, dear, you're missing a lot.

Pero teka, tungkol saan nga ba yung film? Syempre tinatamad na akong magtype ng sarili kong summary kaya ipapaste ko na lang yung galing sa official site nila :)


In the picturesque island of Cuyo,
Palawan, an illegal Taiwanese fishing vessel docks carrying the fisherman named Muo Sei, a man looking forsomething or someone with the name Ploning. He has from sunrise to sundown to look for this "Ploning".

In his search, Ploning is revealed to be the island's town belle of the year 1982. A dutiful daughter to patriarch Susing, a committed supporter to grieving Intang, an honorary sister to extended family Nieves and Toting a wise ally to simpleton Alma, a supporter to broken-hearted Siloy and a co-mother to half-paralyzed Juaning. A woman so important that the townbarely notices the absence of rain because of her presence in their lives.

Despite her renowned beauty, everyone is puzzled why this 30-year-old spinster refuses to get married and still hopefully waits for her beau, Tomas, to come back. Tomas left for Manila when Ploning was 16 years old and there has been no sign of him coming back any time soon. Ploning's silent demeanor adds to the mystery and depth of love that no one seems to understand.. In the center of this, is a 6-year-old boy named Digo who has built his world around the affection and care of Ploning, his foster mother. But his entire world crashes as he learns that Ploning has plans of going to Manila to look for Tomas. Thus, leaving the boy with his bed-ridden mother, Juaning and his strict older brother, Veling. Digo trieseverything to stop Ploning from leaving and finds an ally in the town's visitor, the beautiful town nurse, Celeste. Celeste claims to have known and fallen in love with a man named Tomas and tried to follow him in Cuyo to find out if he loved him back. Ploning, with security and so much faith, denies that her Tomas and the man Celeste fell in love with are the same man. On the day of the fiesta, the rain comes and Ploning seems to be missing. Digo'sfeeling of abandonment leads to a tragedy that grieves the town. But no one was prepared for the secret that Ploning has kept all these years. A secret that exemplifies the selfless love that withstands blood, pain and even time.

Did Ploning choose closure with the man she has been waiting for half her life or the future of young boy whose life is not her own?

Will Muo Sei find his Ploning, accept the love revealed to him or continue to walk in hate?


Wootwootwoot! Interesting hindi ba? So, ano pa kasing hinihintay mo o.O? Wag ka nang papilit ha! I-click mo na yung link sa baba para malaman mo kung ano ang kakaiba dito at napasulat ako sa blog ng di oras! Hehe, promise di ka magsisisi.

Feeling Inspired to be...

I feel like being a poet today and since I can't create a poem in just a span of a day (I tried... and I failed! lol), I'll just post one of the poem I wrote for my creative writing class back in college. And I am not sure if this was my final draft but will try to search my data bank if other versions do exist.

Disclaimer: It is not that great or something but I suppose it'll suffice since I'm no real poet :) Hope you'll enjoy it.


-----------------------------------------
The Forest (2004)

As I enter this cold, dark world,
I have observed peculiar things
Like moss and insects, trees and beasts.

I see their fangs, sinking on their prey;
I hear the shrill screams of the hunted
And hushed whimpers of the survivors.
I feel the dampness of death
And the smell of decomposition.
Running and fearing what I witnessed,
Stumbling and struggling, wanting to flee.

Then I stumbled upon a clearing,
Temporarily blinded by light,
And what I saw took my breath away.

Hollow barks hosting families.
A carcass consumed by insects,
Storing riches upon the ground.
An orchid perched upon the stem,
Embracing its lover’s body.
Death provisioning the living.
The living celebrating death.

The place shows the majesty of life
The show where we watch and perform stunts:

Of death balancing beauty and life.

An Angel Saved my HD

I've been having some security access issues with my external HD since last October. I have consulted several people from our IT department and other friends and the only option they gave me is that I have to reformat it so access would be back to normal.

I was feeling really defeated after several months of searching for a solution and was about to say byebye to 200G worth of files when suddenly, an old friend sent an instant message and asked if I have already fixed THAT particular issue. Suffice it to say that I pour all of my woes. After my long and winding tirade, he said that he'll take care of it and after just a few minutes, VOILA! It is back to normal with all the files intact! :D Makes me wonder how the hell did he knew what to do and whywhyWHY do some people in our IT department so freaking clueless?!

Anyway, back to the original plot. I cried. Who wouldn't?! I mean that is about a year's worth of download saved at the nick of time!!! As in I'm super happy to the nth level that day and all thanks to my techy angel <3


P.S.
I'd like to express my outmost thanks AGAIN to my techy Angel, Donald :) Million thanks and mwahmwahmwah!!!

Free Anime Music Anyone?

Part 1

I know there are a lot of guys out there who very much spend more surfing hours looking for anime OSTs instead of downloading them. AND since popular sites such as esnips and multiply have removed downloading option, it looks as if things are going downhill for us... But worry not since I'm going to give you several links where all you need is register and voila!

My absolute favorite would be gendou. It contains a lot of mp3s with different versions such as tv cut, karaoke and other remix. The only exception would be the ones on their black list due to copyright issue. And here is the said blacklist:



Just a reminder: the above list are the ones NOT there and not the only ones available.

Well, what are you waiting for? Take a visit and be amazed :) And don't forget, this is only the music download part. There are tons of other stuff you could do on their site.

Goodbye Hiatus!


I'm finally back :) Been swamped with stuff for an office-related activity that I wasn't able to view my site *not to mention my emails* for weeks!

Well, I just hope that I won't be THAT engrossed again and I promise *again* that I'll post at least twice per week :)

Top-Calibre Art Works and Photos

I just can't believe the talent of these people! I do love photography and all but I'm afraid that my work is VERY far from theirs. One look at their gallery and you'll see that they not only love what they're doing: they have passion and dedication. You'll see the perfect play of the elements and I, for one, can't help but be amazed and be inspired into DOING something! I mean the first thing I did after viewing their gallery is to send an email to my artsy-fartsy friends and to post it here (hehe). Well, I might be exagerrating but why don't you see for yourself? But what I can definitely say is that their works is at par with international artists.

Catherine's

Keith's

P.S.
The author/owner of the first site also sells accessories and dress that's for gothic lolita lovers! So, if you're interested or just want to view her items, better check her site :)
