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.
