Revert to drafts

2011-12-30T18:04:00.001+08:00

I made some changes with this blog. From the post title itself, I'm sure you know what's the change. Some of my previous blog posts are gone. Not permanently deleted, just reverted back to drafts. I'm planning to close this blog. Hmmm... it's more like... I won't update anymore. HAHA! So to my "avid readers", (Jesson and Anne)... you must be devastated. HAHA! Well.. that's it! Thanks for reading up until now. Happy New Year! :D

Merry Christmas!

2011-12-25T09:54:00.002+08:00

Hey there people! It's Christmas again! This year, I got an early Christmas gift and I must say, it's the best gift (for now). :D

Remember from my previous blog posts about me having my qualifying exam? Well... guess what? I passed it! I am a step closer to my dream! I really deserve it. I studied for it after all. CPA all the way! But... there's still the Modulars... I hope I will survive. For now, let me enjoy my Christmas vacation.

I am supposed to return to Manila on December 26 but there was a sudden change of plans. I will return by the first week of January next year. HAHA! Oh well~ The longer the vacation for me. Woohoo!!

I will be meeting with some of my highschool friends. I haven't seen them since... ummm... our graduation??? HAHA! I always don't show up whenever they organize for us to hangout. Just like last December 16. I promised my friend Airanne that I will definitely attend Paskuhan. But.. well.. as the saying goes... promises are meant to be broken. HAHA!

By the way, I'm back here in the province. Oh I love the fresh air. And the food!!! I miss it so bad I didn't notice I've been eating a lot. Dear mother was rather surprised. HAHA! And I sleep for more than 12 hours!!! HAHA! This is life... Whew! HAHA! After this... it's going to be a lot tougher (studies).

Oh ... and... my relatives from California also visited. We had our reunion last December 21. Talk about awkward. It's the second time after 5 or 6 years that I met my cousins from US. HAHA!

Well.. those are the highlights of my December. More to come!
Merry Christmas! Have a good one! :D

Try, Try Again

2011-12-18T03:45:00.000+08:00

If at first you don't succeed, try, try again.

It's not the critic that counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled or whether the doer of deeds could have done them better...The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust, and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and often comes up short again and again. Who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions and spends himself in a worthy cause. And who, if at best in the end, knows the triumph of higher treatment and high achievement, and who at worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly so that his soul shall never be with those cold and timid ones, who know neither victory nor defeat.
-Theodore Roosevelt

Worst or Best?

2011-12-15T02:01:00.002+08:00

I should be enjoying my Christmas vacation right now but I'm stuck preparing for my qualifying exam on Monday, December 19. I just finished my final papers for my other subjects and I thought that maybe posting something to keep my blog alive. HAHA! I'll just make it quick. :D

On Monday, I will be having my qualifying exam and the result will follow the next day.*Sigh* I'm a little nervous. I know I've been preparing for it for so long and I am proud that I didn't procrastinate. To be honest... this is the first time in my whole life that I studied for so long just for an exam. I'm really nervous. This is my last chance and... I took the risk. It'll take long for me to explain about this "risk" part so let me skip with that.

For this term, it's either the best... or the worst term ever. That's all I can say to it. I think that... this term... I learned a lot. I enjoyed every subject. I got professors who are really worth listening to. They taught me well and I've got to give credit to myself.. this term... it's my most productive. My groupmates were very cooperative and we were somewhat the ones you might call... "kina-career yung project/report". In other words, no matter how insignificant it may be to others, we're the group who really took it seriously and... it's nice to have groupmates like that. It's not what you think that we're the serious type or the grade-conscious type of people. Okay, fine. I AM grade conscious.. well.. never mind that. My point is... we were giving importance to the group work and at the same time have fun. It was fun talking to them especially how funny they can be and how we can relate it to the groupwork that we needed to finish. Really. I can't recall a meeting where we had a dull conversation. There was always something to laugh about.

As for my philosophy subject, it really got my beliefs shakin. Whew! That is one heck of a professor.
I feel that this is the best term (for now) but.... that won't be official until I pass my qualifying exam. Wish me luck! ♫

First Blog Anniversary

2011-11-23T16:36:00.001+08:00

I wasn't able to post these past few weeks. Sorry~ I was very busy with school stuff and review for my upcoming qualifying exam. It's tough being a college student. Ugh. Couldn't blog because of it. Not to mention I am getting tired of blogging. Currently not so inspired.. I've got nothing to post and even if I do have something in mind, I don't feel like typing it down. Blogging consumes most of my time so I try to get away from it as much as possible. So... until I pass my exams which will be on December, I won't blog. Maybe a few posts here and there, I guess. Well, enough with that. Let's get back to what this post should be about...

Yes. It's been a year since my very first post for this blog. This isn't really my first blog. I had other blogs which I used for ummm.... experiment? HAHA! I never thought that there will be people who will actually read the content of this blog. I'm not much of a writer and I just post whatever comes to my mind and also some barkada or family outings. Definitely a personal/lifestyle blog. It never crossed my mind that it will even reach 10000 visits, but now it's almost 40000 views. In just one year I was able to get thousands of views. I really can't believe it. For a mere personal blog, 40000 is something. I don't know why people visit my blog though. I'm pretty much sure most visitors are bloghoppers. Hmmm... at least they visit, right? :))

I really appreciate every single visitor especially those who leaves a "real" comment. Someone who actually read the content of my blogpost and didn't just leave a comment saying "nice post period". Well, you get the idea. HAHA!

Today is also my second eldest brother's birthday. That's the reason why I remember the blog's anniversary. It's the same day as his birthday. I didn't purposely opened a new blog the same day as his birthday. I only noticed it after I made the first post because of the date header. HAHA!

...Hmmm.. Well I've got nothing more to write so I'll just end it here.
Happy First BlogAnniversary to me! :>

2011-11-09T02:39:00.001+08:00

Hmmm... stops you from eating yummy food 24/7? Not really. HAHA! :P

Reading is dreaming with open eyes

Life without internet

2011-10-28T18:56:00.003+08:00

I wonder what people do to kill time back in the old days...

Study? HAHA!

Life without internet is very difficult (for me). :))

Revenge? Nah!

2011-10-23T13:50:00.000+08:00

Revenge? Nah, I'm too lazy. I'm gonna sit here and let karma fuck you up. HAHAHA!

No. I don't hate anyone. But, I do have people I dislike. :P

I just remembered something a few years ago.

Treat people as you would like to be treated. Karma's only a bitch if you are.

Damn right!

Pika costume

2011-10-17T00:30:00.000+08:00

When I saw this, the first thing I thought of was a Korean guy named Dongho of Ukiss. Second is Anne because of her Kevin aka Dudong. And lastly, the game I used to be so damn addicted... Pokemon Gameboy of different versions. HAHA! Pikachu~ ♫

Peace!

2011-10-14T23:54:00.001+08:00

My awesome "V" slash "Peace" sign.

(^-^)V

HAHA! Thea told me not to do that. I don't really understand why but I kinda like the sign. :)) It's an old habit of mine.

2011-10-10T18:15:00.000+08:00

So true! HAHA!

Jesson's treat

2011-10-08T01:12:00.002+08:00

"Friends are God's way of taking care of us."

Belated Happy Birthday Jesson aka Popoy!!!

And thanks for the treat!

Lakas natin kumain!

Let's go back to Binondo and have another blast! HAHA!

BTW, sometimes... it feels weird when we talk about philosophy.

Nosebleed ako! HAHA!

HAHA! Gwapo eh~

Give it up for Manila Chinatown!

Jesson, you look lost. HAHA!

We ate somewhere, I don't know which chinese restaurant.

I didn't know what they ordered. I just let them decide and it turns out they chose a set/group meal. I'm not that picky (I think) with food. As long as there's no shrimp in it, I might eat it. Okay, maybe I am picky. :P

There's shrimp in this one so I didn't eat any of it.

Ummm.. chicken feet if I'm not mistaken. Never ate it. It doesn't look very appetizing so I did not give it a try. HAHA! I guess I am picky with food. HAHA!

Ribs. Yummm!

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

That's after eating. Imagine five people finishing these dishes. HAHA!

After eating, we had fun talking.

Credits to Kim (the girl wearing blue shirt) for the pics. I wasn't able to bring my cam. I forgot it.. again. HAHA!

BTW, I finally know where Kierby (wearing pink shirt) lives. First time to go there. HEHE~

Let me end this blog post by greeting Jesson a Happy Birthday and also with this pic.... the girl...

She's Anne and she just loves the camera. HAHA!

2011-10-04T19:50:00.000+08:00

That "Love Thy Neighbor" thing... I meant that.

-God.

Homework: Read

2011-09-28T10:36:00.001+08:00

This term, it's all about reading. LUCKY!!! Haha! Professor will say: "Read chapters 1, 2, and 3." Then I'll think: "No homework!" HAHA! Then the next meeting... professor will say "Let's have recitation" and calls someone. And the lucky student is... *drum roll*... ME! My reaction? Pretending to be calm, but inside, it is someone who is sent to the execution grounds, to be beheaded or to be eaten by vicious animal. In my head, screaming "Someone heeeeelp!!!" ... Professor will repeat the question. I'll answer, but not exactly what he's looking for. He'll ask another question. I'll answer once again thinking, "His words are killing me!" Finally, the professor gives the right answer, seeing I am in a K.O. situation. He looks around... target lock, calls a different student.

Five more minutes

2011-09-25T18:58:00.005+08:00

This is the main reason why my class starts at 1pm. HAHAHA!

"ignorante" asks

2011-09-23T19:11:00.004+08:00

Why am I blogging? Because I find happiness from it. I blog because I want to and because it makes me smile reading my previous posts, no matter how sad or silly it can be.

What makes me disclose stuff about myself and other things? *Pretzel Gurl* is a personal blog so of course, its content is about myself and anything that will interest me. Also, it is obvious that I post about something because I want to share it.

Can't resist

2011-09-15T22:11:00.002+08:00

I've been eating a lot of chocolates. There's a whole stock in our refrigerator and I need to control myself from eating most of it. HAHA! M&m's chocolate candies and Toblerone are my favorites. I have been warned several times by my mother not to eat too much of it because she's afraid I'll have diabetes. (Super health conscious.) I need to control myself.

Boxes of Life

2011-09-09T10:15:00.001+08:00

Sharing to you this cute pic. If I remember correctly, it's called Danbo. HEHE! ♫ I thought that posting it will fit with my layout.

Here are a few pics I found...

The other Danbo looks creepy. It's the eyes. HAHA!

I am often told to smile in front of the camera. HAHA!

I want!

2011-09-05T01:59:00.000+08:00

I am drooling here. I'm craving for some frapuccino and cinammon roll... and let's add cheesecake.

Lesson learned: Forget

2011-08-23T20:14:00.000+08:00

I've got to admit, it's what exams are all about! HAHA!

My brain's safety is at risk! So of course... HEHE! ♫

Just as what my blockmates often say...

Nuff said. ♫

HAHA!!!!

Personality connected with Handwriting?

2011-08-19T23:57:00.002+08:00

I just saw this pic and I can't help but wonder if our handwriting has some sort of connection with our personality. My handwriting can be considered... ummm...small, concise, a bit slant, and loopy. Well, it's not that small and concise (maybe a bit) so I'm....

a combination of focused, introverted, carefree, open, intellectual, and shy??!! You must be kidding me! HAHA!

I am shy and introverted... but carefree and... open?? HAHA! And what's more... focused and intellectual?! HAHA!

I hardly listen to class and if you think I look so damn serious listening to what the professor is saying...

I must say it's 40% chance of daydreaming,

25% of not understanding a single thing the professor is talking about,

20% of having a dead mind.. in other words.. my mind is somewhere out there, neither dreaming nor trying to understand a thing during the lesson, and

5% of truly understanding the topic.

But let me tell you, the latter hardly happens. HAHA!

How did I come up with the percentage...

HEHE ♫~ It comes with experience.

HAHAHA!

Happy blogging folks! ♥

Boy word for Slut

2011-08-14T13:28:00.001+08:00

HAHAHA! Okay.. I was somewhat tired of bloghopping here and there so I decided checking out one of my friend's tumblr and look for some awesome reblogged posts. And I went from tumblr account here and there. Yeah. Bloghopping all over again. HAHA! I just happened to see this funny pic which also left me thinking for several minutes...

HAHAHA! I was thinking about it for so long. I even asked my brother about it. HAHA! Can anyone give me an answer to this? Why not search the internet? Nah! I prefer finding it out from you people. HAHA! So let's have fill in the blanks...

Girls: Slut:: Boys:_____

HAHA! Give me some news about it.

Thanks! ♫♫

Shinee's Lucifer

2011-08-02T19:17:00.000+08:00

I was just blogwalking slash bloghopping like I always do and stumbled a site and it automatically played Shinee's Lucifer. ♫ I immediately remembered Taemin. HAHA! Can't believe it's been a year since Lucifer was out. Whew! I like their music video. HAHA! I'm not really a fan... okay.. I am a lil bit fan of Taemin. He looks like a girl in the MV which is why I really like it. Truthfully, it pisses me off seeing guys who look like girls... not always.. well, it depends. HAHA! For some reason, I like Taemin who looks like a girl!!! ♥ HAHAHA! Tsk tsk tsk... perhaps this is a sign that I am turning a lesbo?! HAHA! NOOOOO!!! ... That's a joke.. so you better laugh. WAHAHAHA! =)) Well.. I gotta admit.. He looks cool in the MV. Thumbs-up! Hoorrraah! HAHA!

So here's the music video of Shinee's Lucifer...

Pocket check

2011-07-30T20:29:00.000+08:00

Today's not such a bad day. Rain's pouring all over again. Got drenched, got my shoes really dirty, got my umbrella upside down under the rain... yeah... it wasn't such a bad day. HAHA! That's just ummm... a quarter of it? It all happened this morning in Manila, but what the heck. I'm here in our lovely province, Bataan. Unexpectedly met with my highschool classmates when I went to the dentist. Hooraah! HAHA!

BTW, I lost my USB a few days ago. I was musing about the whole thing. Sad. HAHA! BUT! It seems I inserted it in a certain pocket in one of my jeans. Tsk. So when I got back here, our housekeeper gave it back. Whew! I got most of my school files slash projects stored in that flash drive. Ugh. Thankfully our housekeeper found it. I checked my other pockets... and guess what I found? HAHA! There's a two hundred peso bill, a few coins, and some rubbish. HAHAHAHA!!! Hands down for me!

Taglish Song by David DiMuzio & Jimmy Borja

2011-07-27T23:57:00.003+08:00

So I was just checking my Facebook account and saw this advertisement at the right side. If I remember correctly, it says "Listen Ashley Tisdale sing Tagalog song for fans".. I'm not really sure. Can't clearly remember. Well, you get the idea. HAHA! So I clicked the link out of curiosity and there I was redirected to this Youtube link. It wasn't really Ashley singing but a foreign guy. I still went on and watched it. The song started as English so I thought maybe it was just another one of Facebook's way of catching other people's attention of viewing their advertisement. It sounded nice so I went on watching the video. And, to my surprise the foreign guy spoke in Filipino/Tagalog. My jaw dropped. Literally. HAHA! He was fluent! HAHA!

The song is titled "Naiisip Mo Ba". It's written by David DiMuzio and Jimmy Borja. ♥
I really like it. I keep on playing it over and over again. ♫

Here's the video. Just wanna share it to you fellas~ Enjoy! ♥(^-^)

Army Navy is Arvie

2011-07-23T05:00:00.004+08:00

Hey there readers! (As if someone's actually reading.. HAHA!)

Yesterday, I ate with my friends at Army Navy near DLSU. You see.. I didn't eat breakfast and lunch... Why? Overslept. (as always) Woke up around 7:45 (just so you know, I took a bath :p) and the class starts at 8am... so I wasn't able to eat anything. It's a good thing I live near the university! Woohoo! Walking distance~ HAHA! ♫ Well.. the professor checks the attendance and she makes us sign the attendance sheet. It's a good thing my classmates signed for me. Awww...How sweet. HAHA! Yeah right~

Class starts from 8am and ends at 3pm. Poor me. HAHA! Didn't eat anything.. so the meal I had at Army Navy was my brunch. HEHE! ♥

Whenever I see or even hear Army Navy, I often think about Arvie, a friend. HAHA! Was with her yesterday too (at Army Navy)! ♥

Yummy Burrito!

BTW, Kierby.. in case you're reading this.. I forgot what you said what I should put in my blog.. that you said that you want me to indicate here.. @_@ HAHA! You get the idea. (unless you also forgot about it) HAHA! ♫

And Winnona, awesome stories. HEHE! ♫

Arvie & others, I've got a date with you. Save the date for next week. (^-^)♥

HAHA!

I don't go online anymore.. well.. not as much as before. So expect that this blog will die sooner or later. HAHA! I hope not. School's got... depressing. HAHA! Still gotta hit those books! (Literally?) HEHE! ♫

LongBottom Transformation

2011-07-13T10:22:00.002+08:00

I'm sure you all know the movie Harry Potter. There's Daniel Radcliffe as Harry, Emma Watson as Hermione, Rupert Grint as Ron... and let's add Matthew Lewis as Neville Longbottom. So...

Why Longbottom?

Just wanna share this pic I found while randomly browsing the web. Sorry for not indicating the source, I forgot to copy the link. >_<

Doesn't he look AWESOME?! That's a whole new transformation! I seriously didn't see that one coming! He looks better than Daniel Radcliffe and Rupert Grint!!!

SCREAM!!!!

I remember seeing him in some parts of Harry Potter looking like this...

And just how on earth did ^that... turn into... to.. to...*faints*...

THAT!

♥ ♥ ♥

I say he's the hottest wizard!

Who's with me?

(^o^)/

Matthew Lewis! Heck Yeah! ♥

With you on the cast, Harry Potter is a SUCCESS! Woohoo!

♫ HAHA! ♫

I am so going to watch Harry Potter Deathly Hallows Part 2! I've watched all Harry Potter movies and finally, it has come to an end. Sad. The movie theatre is going to be packed, I'm sure of it. I'll just watch it after some time. (^-^)

Back to School

2011-07-04T23:12:00.001+08:00

After a week of absence, the doctor finally got me cleared. Whew! I missed a lot of things! Sad. :[ Gotta have all those make-up quiz. >_< Need a lot of catching up with the lessons. Need to pass required papers, written reports, etc. etc. TT_TT

This is going to be a very busy week for me. I guess this is the fruit of all the slacking I did? Well.. I was sick.. HAHA! Great excuse. Hey! It's not my fault that the paper requires students to visit a certain place. Want me to spread the virus?! ♥ HAHA!

Here's a list of what I'll be doing for the whole week... I'll post it here for me not to forget. HEHE!♫
* Finish MARKET1 Packaging report/paper.
* Study for MARKET1 and ACTPACO make-up quizzes.
* Ten ideas for extemporaneous speech.
* Watch a show at CCP and write a reaction paper.
* Write at least one page self-critique of my impromptu speech.
* Copy notes from my classmates (those that I missed because of absence).
* Visit Museo Pambata on Wednesday with my partner for our critical paper.

So yeah... I've gotta do all those. Since it's only Monday, more activities will be given. Gotta start working!♫

Hanging out

2011-06-15T23:40:00.005+08:00

Just got back. Got a text from Popoy asking me to join him to eat at DLSU. Well... since I've got nothing else to do, might as well hang out with him. Yeah..Originally, I was going to ditch him because I already ate and I'm too lazy to go down the building and walk all over again. HAHA! Kidding!

We went around the campus to check out some merchandise of different shops inside. In the end, we didn't buy anything. HAHA!

Went to the Amphitheater to watch the practice of those who will be performing for tomorrow's celebration. AND!!! I got the chance to see my crush. Scream!!! HAHAHA! So kilig eh. HAHA!

There's chatting and practicing for Popoy's impromptu speech (for SPEECOM). Then came Anne and Thea to join us. (^-^) we chat and chat and chat.. then came Cecille and Josephus! HAHA! Had lots of fun with their corny jokes and amazingly weird laugh. HAHAHA! It was getting late, so Cecille and Josephus had to leave. Then came dan-dan-dan-dan... Jiou! (^-^) We're chatting all over. HAHA! Overall, it was fun. I'm glad I didn't ditch Popoy. HAHA! (Hey! That's a joke!) (>_<)

I'm sure more fun will come for tomorrow! ANIMO LA SALLE!

Listening to..

2011-06-07T22:55:00.001+08:00

As much as I love the 1970s or 1980s songs of different bands during that time, I also like listening to different instrumental (piano, violin, etc.) pieces I am familiar with.

Currently listening to Canon in D of Pachelbel... ♫♫♫

How I miss playing the piano although I'm not very good with it. I hardly remember the pieces I played before. And to think I even want to learn how to play the violin. HAHA! Someday I will.. :) But first, I have to graduate and pass the CPA Licensure Exam. HAHA!

Ending summer with pirates

2011-05-22T13:14:00.004+08:00

It's end of summer term. Yeah! And in a few days it's... once again... the start of a new semester. Whew! Some summer. I went back to the province and will be back I don't know when. HAHA! ♫

Yesterday, I knew my final grade and I'm very thankful. Thank God we reached the required grade. And to celebrate, Anne randomly told me that she'll treat me. Lucky!~♫ Good thing I went to the consultation day.

Also, I watched the movie, Pirates of Caribbean on Stranger Tides. It is AWESOME! I really like Johnny Depp ♥ He's a great actor. HEHE! ♫

Johnny Depp is really funny in the movie. Can't believe he acted as a gangster with his other movies though I still haven't watched those movies. HAHA!

(SPOLIER ALERT) ... kinda :D
The mermaid and the guy's ending makes me a bit curious. If the guy really died (drown), then eaten or just taken somewhere. HAHA! I was kind of hoping there's a bit more of story with their roles. HEHE! Well.. don't wanna spoil much about it.

So yeah... I ended my summer with pirates.
AARRRRRR!!!
♫ Haha!♥

Sleep--Sleep--Sleep

2011-05-16T20:39:00.000+08:00

Just noticed how much I love to sleep. I just woke up.. after an hour or two, I'd go back to bed and sleep. I'll wake up after a few hours... and then eat... And for some reason, I want to go back and sleep. It's normal right? And guess what? I just woke up half an hour ago. No wonder my parents, brothers and kasambahays say I gained weight. *sigh* ...

Still need to study for the last quiz for summer term. My scores with the last two quizzes are really... ummm... never mind...you get the idea. TT^TT
I computed my midterm grade and it seems that the professor deducted 0.50 because I got one late. TT^TT Yeah... how disappointing. And to think I was only late for a few minutes. "(>_<)"

Done with summer's first half

2011-05-11T20:13:00.000+08:00

It's been two weeks since the start of summer term. Can't believe it's already the second half. So far the results are acceptable. Hopefully, I'll be able to keep it up. But, judging from the last quiz... okay... never mind. HAHA! So much for summer! After the final exam, we'll have four days break and the next thing you know, it's the start of the new semester. HAHA! Some college life... How I envy others chilling, enjoying their vacation. >w<

Starbucks Happy Hour

2011-05-04T14:52:00.003+08:00

Just got back from the university. Passed by Starbucks and started to crave for some cinammon roll.
They were offering half the price if you buy a frappuccino. Don't know when it'll end, but what the heck! HAHA! Half the price is only limited to 2 frappuccino drinks.The offer was only available from 12noon-2pm. Got there by 1:59pm! HAHA! LUCKY~! ♥

Starbucks: Java Chip

Bought two (2) Java Chip and a Cinammon Roll.

I gave the other Java Chip to my brothers. (I'm such a nice sister. HAHA! ♫)«"Whatever~"

Cinammon Roll

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

BTW,

♫ Happy Birthday to you Carlos... ♫

a.k.a. pityero! :D

Nothing new

2011-05-03T17:50:00.000+08:00

Again with the beach. Sorry. Just wanna keep my blog alive.

Took the picture last April when we went to the beach.

Vacation ends

2011-04-24T22:10:00.001+08:00

Went to the beach with my family and relatives (mother side).

Didn't swim.

Took pictures.

Walked around.

Really! It was difficult to walk on beach sand.

Hey! I don't see many ducks around. So I took a picture of it. :D

Boring vacation

2011-04-22T12:22:00.000+08:00

You know... it's also tiring doing nothing. That's all I can say for this blog post.

Learn from your mistakes

2011-04-15T22:55:00.006+08:00

I remember watching a movie called "Meet the Robinsons". I can't forget that movie because it always reminds me that I need to ... keep moving forward.

I really like the quotes in it! HAHA!
Quotes like...

"Around here, however, we don’t look backwards for very long. We keep moving forward, opening up new doors and doing new things… and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.” - Walt Disney

"From failing you learn, from success not so much."

(For some reason, those quotes comfort me..)

"Mom and Dad are gonna kill me! And I'm gonna tell you this, it will not be done with mercy!"

(That's a funny one. HAHA!)

Well... life is full of ups and downs. Too bad for me, right now, I'm having some downs. TT_TT

Bowling with blockmates, Saisaki with family

2011-04-11T22:49:00.007+08:00

Just got back from Glorietta where we had our dinner at a buffet restaurant called Kamayan Saisaki and Dads. I went all out. I was really craving for some salmon sashimi. After all, it's one of my favorites. :)

I wanted to take more pictures but my mother told me it's rude so I only took a picture of the salmon sashimi. Though the picture didn't turn out good. (^w^)

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

Before dinner with my family:

I went out with my blockmates to go bowling and billiards. But before that, we ate at Tokyo Cafe...

I ordered Coffee Jelly Parfait which costs Php 121. It's the first time I ate a parfait. It tastes really good. Next time, I'll try a different flavor. ♥

Here's my share... a pizza slice for lunch... which I think.. only served as an appetizer to me. HAHA! ♫

The shoes I rented for bowling.

Here's the scores of each of us halfway the game.

I got three strikes which is very lucky. It's only luck. I know, 'coz I've tried bowling before and ... I was no match with my highschool classmates.Which reminds me... I'll be going back to my hometown. HAHA!

Well... my next/coming blog posts will most likely be about my adventures with my ♥ highschool friends ♥.

This is definitely NOT Horror

2011-04-10T13:32:00.002+08:00

Last Friday, I went to watch a movie with Thea, Frances, Anne, and Charmaine... They decided to watch the movie called The Roommate. I really didn't care which movie we're going to watch. At first I thought we were to watch Ghost Ship and so while watching, I was honestly waiting for the ghost and the ship to show up! It was only after the movie that I realized it wasn't what I thought it was. I was thinking.. "Why is it called Ghost Ship when there's not even a single ghost and ship appeared in it?!" HAHA!

So here's the trailer of The Roommate from Youtube.

I'm back

2011-04-09T00:40:00.000+08:00

Finals are over! Didn't study that much for my other subjects so I won't expect 4.0s to pop-out of my final grades.

...

FINALLY! I can now..

+ go back to my hometown

+ blog

+ blog hopping

+ go on movie marathons

+ read my "preferred" books

+ go shopping? :P

+ play with our new born puppies!

+ sleep all day

+ play different sports (golf, volleyball, badminton, etc. with my buddies)

+ reunion with highschool classmates

+ eat with the whole family

Be right back

2011-03-31T01:48:00.000+08:00

Finals are up! In other words... It's time to STUDY! I'll be isolating myself from the computer and start hitting the books. I won't be using the internet (unless I am required for our school projects).

Will be back after a week or two. Please keep on visiting my blog and leaving tags. I'll get back to you soon. Well... wish me luck for my exams! Hopefully I'll.. umm... pass? :P

Movies before Midterms

2011-02-26T19:38:00.001+08:00

Tomorrow's a Sunday and our midterm exam for our Obligation and Contracts subject aka OBLICON will be held on Tuesday. It was moved, thankfully. Gotta read a lot of things... just wanna highlight... "A LOT" of things... *Sigh* ... I'm really not in the mood hitting the books right now. But, it can't be helped. Still gotta read 188 pages of that OBLICON book. *Sigh*...

Why am I blogging instead of studying? Ummm... To put it simply... I was distracted. ... Yeah! That's right! DISTRACTED! HAHA!.. HA,, HA.. HA.. AA.. *silence*

Okay! I haven't read a single thing. Boohoo!... TT_TT
I think I'm doomed for the midterms.. Well.. I still have a few days left..... I hate this thinking of mine. >_<

Anyway... I got distracted with some animes and some movies. Hey! It was really good that I couldn't stop watching it...

So here's what I watched...

Yup! Just a few hours ago.. I watched it.

And.. it is quite disturbing just as what I read from the movie review I read from a different website.

Truthfully, I hated the mating part. It was really gross just thinking some experiment making-out with the creator. EEEEEEEEEEWWWWW... No really.. It was very disturbing. I couldn't stand to look at it that I had to fast-forward that part. Gosh! That was gross!

Enough with the Splice thing.. the other movie I first watched before Splice was Picture This.

Starring Ashley Tisdale!

I find the movie ummm... nice. I guess? ... I'm tired of watching all those similar movies with the plot: the girl turns beautiful from a dork/geek/nerd or whatever loser you may think, guy falls for her. And they live happily ever after...

I don't see much fun with that. Always so predictable. HAHA!

Hmmm.. OH! I also watched movies... yesterday.. =D

Well.. I got bored. I didn't felt like studying so I watched some movies. HEHE..

I watched Salt and It's Kind of A Funny Story.

This movie is awesome! Totally worth watching! They chose the right actress! Angelina Jolie! WOW! I love it. I couldn't take my eyes off the screen. Whew!

Ummm.. you know.. I kind of.. couldn't keep up with this movie. HAHA!

The way the character behaves is.. well... I find it.. umm.. how do I put this... WEIRD..

HAHA!

Still.. it's okay. (^-^)

So yeah.. I kind of had a movie marathon..

Kyoko of Skip Beat!

2011-02-24T20:18:00.003+08:00

♥ Here's my Kyoko madness!!! ♥

Kyoko's role as an angel for Fuwa Sho's MV...

Here's Kyoko acting as the mean, young, rich girl MIO...

And below is her acting as an ojou-san...

*Images above were print-screened by me while watching the episodes of Skip Beat!*

Do you like anime? Especially with the genre of Comedy and Shoujo?

If yes, then I'm pretty sure you're very familiar with SKIP BEAT!

Gosh! That anime is good. Can't believe there's no season two. Well at least not YET.

I've been waiting for it for more than a year since I've watched the first 25 episodes.

Oh PLEASE! PLEASE! PLEASE!

Let there be a second season.

I've been reading the manga and it is awesome!

♥ My favorite episodes are 6, 7, 13, 18, and 19!!! ♥

WAAAAAH!!! My favorite is MOGAMI KYOKO!

She rocks!

Lee Rocks DLSU 2011

2011-02-20T00:40:00.001+08:00

February 18, is the end of university week. There was this concert sponsored by Lee. But before I talk about that. I want to ask you... Have you ever waited in line for so long? We're not talking about minutes here, okay? I'm talking about hours! HOURS, my friend! HAHA! Heck Yeah! Oh Gosh.. my feet's killing me standing like hell. >_< Okay.. exaggerated much. Of course I sat down while I substitute with my friends to wait in line. It's like that. (^-^)

Question? Let me guess.. Just what's the reason why we waited for so long? Oh.. nothing much.. we just wanted to try out the "Haunted Hall 2". I'm pretty much sure you get what a haunted hall is. HAHA! Duh! Something to scare us. We paid Php70 each. Not bad. Why? Because it's really worth it! Well.. to my friends it is worth it. Then again, I must admit. It was pretty good. Really! As of now, it's the best paid haunted place I've been to. So... include me to those saying it's worth it! ^_^

I'm a bit of the horror fan and often watches horror and bloody action movies. Hey! Don't get me wrong! I have three brothers here! Only daughter, okay? What do you expect?! We watch Barbie?! Romance?! Are you kidding?! HAHA!

But you know, truthfully, I was amazed at our fellow LaSallians. You guys were awesome! The props and the scaring parts were awesome. Thumbs-up!

Just so you know, we waited in line 6pm and we entered at around 9:30pm... and the haunting only took ummm... less than 10 minutes? Okay.. make it around 10 to 15 minutes depending on how long you wish to stay inside.Whew! HAHA! Of course while waiting, we kinda played some games... Like 7-up.. If you're not familiar with the game, then never mind. HAHA! We had so much fun with it. Well.. at least it is worth the wait. So yeah.. that ends the story for my Haunted Hall 2 experience. Next is...

Lee Rocks DLSU concert! WOOHOOOO!!!! HAHA! But... when we got there, it was already late. We went there after going to Haunted Hall.. Awwww... too bad. And it was really good! The hosts and performers were great. I enjoyed it.. but I would have enjoyed it even more if I was there earlier. >_< Oh well.. =D

I didn't bring my camera so I couldn't take any pics. Next time I'll edit this and ask for my friend's pics.

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

Oh! and to my dear friend Ginger. here's what I bought at the bazaar..

I also bought a shirt with the print "True Blooded LaSallista" but I still don't have it because I still have to wait until Thursday (Feb. 24) to get it. I didn't buy much because other than that necklace, I didn't feel like buying other items they were selling. >_<

University week is "I love Bazaars"

2011-02-16T19:17:00.003+08:00

I remember when I was still in the province, whenever there's a bazaar, some of my close friends and I will go there and buy some stuff. OOOOooh! It's been so long. I miss them. Now in our university, De La Salle University-Manila there is a some sort of bazaar going on. I'm not really sure if it really is a bazaar, but what the heck! That's how I view it. Many are selling DLSU shirts, wrist bands, food, accessories, and many more.

Of course, I bought some food, drinks, and some other items they are selling. Although... to be honest, there's not many to see. :(

Roses for You

2011-02-14T22:10:00.005+08:00

I'm pretty much sure you all know what day is today. Yup! Valentine's Day! It's a day where many couples go out to have a romantic or whatsoever-you-call-it date. Another definition of it is..A day for singles. Seriously! This day is mocking! It clearly shows who's got zero relationship. HAHA! Kidding! But honestly, it really shows who's in and out of a relationship.

Most will probably go out on dates, a movie, a dinner on a romantic venue.. something you usually see in the movies.

As for me, I'll be celebrating it with my animated boyfriends. I got a lot you know. HAHA! Hey! Sometimes, a fictional boyfriend is better than the real deal.

Oh wait! Almost forgot! A hot guy just asked me on a date.

That's him on the picture. HAHA!

Well.. I can;'t say "no" to a hot guy.
Envious? Don't be.

I know! I know! I'm pretty popular. HAHA!

What a joke.

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

Well... today we went all out to help our friend in choosing the right bouquet for the girl he likes. AAAAAAAAWWWW! ♥ He bought it in... a.. ummm... fair price. :P HAHA! Okay, it was expensive for a student, but despite that he still went on and bought the roses. How sweet. HAHA! (Well.. it's better than ham.. :P)

The bouquet of roses above is what it looks like.

Pretty, right?

~ I KNOW! ~

We went to different shops just to look for the "perfect" bouquet for our dear friend. Hopefully, the girl not only accepted it, but also liked it. We all wanted to go see our friend (the guy) get rejected as he give the roses to the girl (also our friend). But, too bad, we only got a peek of it. HAHA! Okay! Just so you know, I'm using a sarcastic tone here. We didn't want our friend to get rejected, of course. I'm not really so sure what happened. Hopefully the girl at least accepted the bouquet of roses. Best wishes for both of them.

♥ Happy Valentine's Day to you all! ♥

Batangas Field Trip

2011-02-13T14:38:00.004+08:00

Yesterday, we went to Lian, Batangas for our educational trip. I woke up 4:30 in the morning just to get ready knowing the bus will depart at 6. It usually takes me an hour to finish getting ready so I woke up early. And guess what time we departed? HAHA! 7AM! Wow! To think I was there waiting for more than an hour. There were some students who were late so of course we waited for them which is the main reason why it took so long.

We arrived at Batangas I don't know what time. Maybe 10am? I'm not really so sure about it. >_<

We immediately started our work so we could finish and be able to have some fun on the beach.
Here are some of the mangroves...

Mangroves

My groupmates/friends working while I take the picture.

We finished our worked really fast. There weren't enough biodegradable plastics .. you know..the black bag in the picture. We ran out of it. And so, we got off work fast. YAY! \(^-^)/

HAHA!

We washed our hands and feet after.

While washing our hands and feet, we kinda strolled around the watery area.. I'm not really sure what to call it. Whether it's the seaside or whatever. The water is clear and clean.

My groupmates/friends
From left to right: Thea, Hope, Iceyah, and Kevin.

Here we are heading back to the bus with two korean girls in front of us.
After heading back, we ate lunch. There were some old ladies selling mangoes. They're selling it in a cheap price so we bought some of it. We decided eating some while we're at it. HAHA! Yummy! I'm drooling!

HAHA! Just look at that! With all our bites! =))

After eating, we went around and did some stuff on the beach. Took pictures, go here and there. We even did something really funny. I don't want to talk about it. I feel a little sorry for the victim. >_<

So.. here are some more of the pics.

Yesterday's mine, today's my mother's

2011-02-12T00:47:00.001+08:00

I'd like to greet my mom a HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY! and thanks for the gift. I don't have a gift for her though. I'll only be spending her money buying her a gift which will only make it look as if she bought herself one.... in a not-so-direct way :P

I won't be mentioning her age. Hehehe! I Love you Mom! ♥ You're the best!
Which reminds me.. I found this Facebook application...

3 yrs old "Mommy, I love you."
13 yrs old "Mom, whatever!"
16 yrs old: "My mom is so annoying!"
18 yrs old "I wanna leave this house."
25 yrs old: "Mom, you were right"
30 yrs old "I want to go back to my Mom's house".
50 yrs old: "I don't want to lose my mom."
70 yrs old: "I would give up EVERYTHING for my mom to be here.....with me."

You only have 1 mom.
Like this if you appreciate
& love your mom!

^ That really gave an impression on me.

I'm pretty sure my mom doesn't know I posted something like this for her. Don't want her spying on me. Which is one of the reasons why I didn't add her on my list of friends in Facebook. >_<
Hey! Who wants her parents knowing the things she only wishes to keep to herself and to her circle of friends?! Definitely not me. Don't get me wrong. I want to add my mom too so I could post our family pics and easily have access for viewing. I just don't want them to invade my privacy as a teen. :P

Anyway... I just want to greet my mom a happy birthday and may she look even more dazzling than she is now. Love you mom!... Even though I know you won't be reading this, I still want to greet you! (^-^)

Happy Birthday to ME!

2011-02-11T01:52:00.001+08:00

It's my Birthday!

I am now officially 17 years old!
Clap Clap Clap!

Don't know if I should be happy or sad.. I'm getting older!.. HAHA!

Sweets, anyone?

2011-02-07T21:58:00.000+08:00

Valentines... I can sure feel it coming. Just opening my Facebook account, it's filled with pages and status about it. Whew! I bought some chocolates and some other sweets, and of course it's for me.
Want some? Not a chance. HAHA! It's been a long time since I had one of these. (^u^)

Danzdish6 Rocks!

2011-02-06T00:40:00.002+08:00

Yesterday (February 5), I was at the De La Salle University-Manila even though there are no classes. I went there to study at the library because I just can't focus at home. It was getting late so I decided to head back home and while walking, I noticed that there was this long line. I thought "What's the occasion? Is it like graduation or something?" and went on with my walk and to my surprise, I ran into Kim and Carlo, my blockmates.

"What are you guys doing here?"

"We came to watch the Danzdish6. Wanna come?"

Okay... I was SUPPOSED to go straight back home to study, but when I heard the word "dance".. Okay you got me.. there's no word "dance".. but I heard the sound of "dance" from DANZdish. HAHA! I don't know what came over, without thinking I just..

"Sure! Why not?"

And so I bought the awesome tickets worth Php180 and went on to watch the show. And you know what? It was TOTALLY WORTH IT! I was amazed and I laughed so hard with all the miming and other stuff. They're really good! Thumbs-up for the LaSallian dancers! You guys really nailed it!

HIHIHI... And not to mention I saw my crush who's also part of the LSDC. :"> ... Okay.. you got me.. I had the thought of wanting to see my crush so I watched the show. HEHE.. That's the motive. o(>_<o)

Hey.. I'm not a stalker... well at least NOT YET. I don't even know the guys name. Never talked to him. Not even an eye-to-eye contact. HAHA! Heck Yeah.. ♥

12 Friendship Thoughts

2011-02-04T13:23:00.003+08:00

I was cleaning... umm.. no... more like... arranging my desk when I stumbled upon a familiar box. It's a small one.. Inside of it are different friendship thoughts in a piece of brownish paper. It's a product of Papemelroti...

I read it all and picked out all thoughts I'm in favor of. I got a total of twelve:

♥ The friend who holds your hand and says the wrong thing is made of dearer stuff than the one who stays away. -Barbara Kingslover

♥ In prosperity our friends know us; in adversity we know our friends. -John Churton Collins, 1848-1908

♥ A true friend is one who overlooks your failures and tolerates your successes. -Doug Larson

♥ My best friend is the one who brings out the best in me. -Henry Ford

♥ Don't walk in front of me, I may not follow. Don't walk behind me, I may not lead. Just walk beside me and be my friend.

♥ With clothes, the new are best; with friends, the old are best. -Chinese proverb

♥ Friends are those who treat you kindly behind your back.

♥ It is the character of every few men, to honor without envy, a friend who has prospered. -Aeschylus

♥ Let me be the one you call. If you jump, I'll break your fall... If you need to fall apart, I can mend a broken heart. If you need to crash, then crash and burn. You are not alone. -Savage Garden, "Crash and Burn"

♥ Friends have ways of speaking without words. -Alice Dalgliesh

♥ The ones who are bound to be your best friends must lose your trust just once to prove that they can win it back.

♥ Our dress up days have come to an end but I'll never forget the memories we shared as friends.

New Year's Late Post

2011-01-12T19:44:00.003+08:00

I'm going to post something a little late.. which happened in between of Decemeber 31 and January 1.
I won't be including most of the pictures and videos I took during New Year since it'll probably take a lot of time. Our internet connection is really bad.

HAHA! We were waiting for like... so LONG just to light it up. HAHA! And look.. we we're like crazy about it. As soon as the other wand .. umm.. was lit, we all pointed our wands toward it. It's faster if we do that. HAHA!

The pictures above are the ones I only included because I'm craving and.. drooling... wanting to eat the same cake and.. umm.. cupcake. Hehe. I just added the "wand" thingy which we light up during New Year. HAHA! I don't know what to call it. All I know is that it's a WAND. =D
I added it to give an idea of "New Year" HAHA!. Whatever.
Well, just wanted to share these pics. I won't make this post long. I still got a lot of school stuff to finish.

Out on the Beach

2010-12-30T19:43:00.005+08:00

Last December 26 was my dad's birthday. We didn't prepare a feast, but we did went out to celebrate it... kinda. HAHA!

Beach (Bataan)

♥ We went to the beach! ♥ 

...in Bataan.

Well I got to admit. It was pretty boring.

We didn't swim. None of us did. My eldest brother only slept. (As usual.)

Together with my two other brothers, the second eldest and the youngest, we just went to the usual place. The swing. HAHA! Yup! You got that right! THE SWING! Just what we see in the playground. That's where we frequent whenever we go to "that" beach. 

See the skateboard? :D

Like a playground ^u^

We also went skateboarding. I played with my brothers. 

I took a video of them. 

I wanna share it to you guys, but they'll kill me if I'll do so. XD

They don't want me posting their pics. To top it all, it's a VIDEO! HAHA! 

♫ Skateboarding is pretty fun! ♫

A bit of inclined road where we played skateboard. ^_^

Here are some of the pictures I took while strolling around the beach... (^-^)

Around 3 or 4 pm

The sand

The water is so clear. ^_^

There's also pool. =D

We ate in that house-looking place. HAHA! Don't know what to call it

Pizza!

We ordered this as our dinner. There's six of us and we didn't finish it all. HAHA! Actually, only 5 of us ate it. The other ordered something else.

I really liked it. Love the vegetables and cheese. ♥

Oh! And there's also mango shake as my drink.

♥ I just love mangoes! ♥

It was already uummmm... 2/3 empty when I took a picture. HAHA!
At least I took a picture, right? teehee ♫ ♫

Fish! ... Duh?!

There's this floor where there's a space alloted for the fshes. I can't really explain it well, but it looked as if it's a glass with fish designs. I remember there was a time when I nearly walked through it. 

Good thing I noticed. 

Really! It's only one step away and my feet's all soaked. HAHA!

EK Tour Trip

2010-12-18T19:03:00.007+08:00

Okay! I'm wide awake ready to tell the story...

Together with my college barkada, we went to Enchanted Kingdom (EK) as a get-together of the whole group. Sadly, the group wasn't complete. We were lacking one person who wasn't able to attend due to personal reasons, I guess...

At 11:00am, we rode a van to get to EK. Most of us didn't eat anything for breakfast so we stopped by at the nearest gasoline station to eat. There were several restaurant to choose from and most of us preferred different places to eat so we decided to divide each other. Majority ate at Greenwich including these awesome bloggers who are my friends in real life, Anne and Popoy. Look at the the pair eating together  at the left-most part of the picture. Yep! That's them! Those at the right side are JC and Frances. Their not bloggers, but they're awesome friends just like Anne, Popoy, and the rest of the group. These three (Anne, Popoy, and JC) even had the time to make a prank on me! I was seriously angry... irritated... annoyed because of it. As a friend, I did them a favor and yet all of it was for a prank. You guys, if you're reading this blog entry. I'm telling you. I really didn't like what you did! I get pissed off just remembering it...

Okay, back to the topic...

Those who bought at different restaurants such as Jollibee brought their food at Greenwich. HAHA! They even left their leftovers and food package of Jollibee in Greenwich. No shame.. Yeah!  HAHA!

We went back on the road and continued the wackiness of the group inside the van. Kim, the person we all thank for organizing the trip and being such a lovable friend took different pictures of us.

Also, I took pictures of some things we passed by..

big softdrink cans of different brands. :D

 As we arrive at Enchanted Kingdom, a friend has been waiting for us. Introducing another cool blogger Carlos aka pityero! I wonder how long he waited? Hmmm... 

Of course we still have tto buy tickets which cost us Php 400 as a regular day customer.

As we enter EK...

We were surprise how Enchanted Kingdom became so small. No.. seriously! We feel as if back then it was so big, but now it's not as how we expected for it to be. I guess it's because we were still kids when we went there. We we're still tiny chumps. HAHA!

As I look at the map, I couldn't help but compare it to other amusement parks I've been to in US.

As we stroll around while waiting for another person to arrive we decided to ride ... umm... I forgot what to call the ride.. Just look at the picture below. HEHE..

Okay.. when we found out that the Space Shuttle isn't available, we were like... HUWAAAAT???!!!

We were so disappointed! That's the ride I/we still haven't... ride!!! 'Ya hear me! That's like one of the major rides in our list.. More like the first for us to ride as we arrive at EK! Dang! I wonder when will I be able to go to EK again... probably it'll be after several months.... or even years.

So.. we rode  the "Anchor" ride...

yeah.. you guys were still smiling and laughing especially Anne before the ride.. if only I was able to take a picture of you guys while the ship's rocking. =))

OH! I LOVE the ANCHOR ride!!! 

Especially having both my hands up in the air as the ship goes rocking back and forth! 

I felt like I was going to fall with both my hands up in the air the whole time!

Tired From Trip

2010-12-18T01:02:00.001+08:00

AAAAAwwww!!!! My feet's killing me! I walked the whole day and waited in line just to ride a one or a two minute ride! The hell! Then again, it's the fun that counts. I won't make this post long. I'm seriously dead tired and I think I'll just post the whole story after waking up from my deep slumber. YAWN! Okay, gotta sleep..  See you after 10-15 hours... ZZzzzZzzzZzzzz.... (-_-)zzz

A Date with my Dad

2010-12-08T23:29:00.001+08:00

Hi guys! I just got back after eating dinner with my dad a few hours ago. We ate at a korean restaurant called KAYA located at Glorietta in the Philippines. My mom wasn't with us, as well as my brothers... yeah.. I don't have a sister. My brothers were busy so we ended up eating together, my dad and I. 

My dad drove us to get to the restaurant which took us I think 30-45 minutes. Traffic is so annoying. We waited that long just to eat at our favorite korean restaurant. HAHA! My dad often eats there so the employees of the restaurant is very familiar with him. HAHA! 

Dishes from Kaya Korean Restaurant

We ordered:

Soondooboo chige- Okay, I love this soup. There's tofu, egg, clams, beef, and the best part of it is it's a little hot and spicy. Love it! It's one of my favorites. We ordered two of this. For me and for my dad.

Kimchi- Of course since we're in a korean restaurant, kimchi is definitely a great choice for us to feel it. We ordered two of this. 

Kalbi gui/ sliced beef- Yummy! 

Sliced chicken- Yummy!

Spinach- Back then, I don't eat this but then I realized I should first take a bite and try some of it before judging. Turned out it's pretty good.

Rice- I love korean rice! It's really good compared to other rice I've tasted.

Ripe Mango Shake- I love Mangoes. ^^

Calamansi juice- My dad prefers this for his throat. That's what he told me.

After eating...

I had a delicious meal thanks to my awesome dad. After eating he asked me if I want to buy something or perhaps something he could buy for me. AAaaawww.. 

Since we're already in a mall, might as well buy some stuff. 

Starbucks Planner 2011

2010-12-02T23:25:00.007+08:00

My dad is the BEST...

Do you guys know the promo Starbucks is currently having for Christmas?

The stickers you need to collect and once you gain I think 17? I think it's 17 stickers... 

You get a Starbucks Planner for 2011.

I just got my planner a while ago. 

My dad was able to complete all the stickers and he gave me the planner.

And now... it's his turn to get another planner for himself.

HAHAHA!

Here's what the Starbucks Planner looks like...

It was covered with this as a... case??  Not sure. But it was covered with this...

 As I open it...

 the planner looks like this.... 

I chose red instead of the brown and gray ones. For me to remember that I got this during the month of December, before Christmas...

I'm gonna write my future experiences for the year 2011..

Kinda like a diary.. HEHEHE...

And look... there's a bookmark.. AAAwww... I love it! 

<3 <3 <3 

Goodbye November, Hello December!

2010-12-01T17:23:00.001+08:00

The month of December just came in! 

I wonder what I'll get for Christmas? Hmmm...

I hope it's gonna be something useful.

Well, I just wanted to Welcome December and hope that this year's Christmas will be memorable.

More gifts for me! YAY! Haha!

"La Mesa Eco Park" field trip

2010-11-26T21:09:00.006+08:00

I'm exhausted! I just got back from our field trip in La Mesa Eco Park. I think it's in Quezon City, Manila. Me and my friends had so much fun during our stay there. At first it was boring, but then it became exciting because of the activities we had.

 We were just strolling around not even minding the tour guide. Actually, it's the second time I went here. First, it's also a field trip, but it's during my high school days. Now, it's college. ^^

Here as we enter...

  Just passed some signs for guidance...

That's a calachuchi tree. Its flower is used in making perfumes or colognes.

Although it's the tree which grows in a graveyard...

The tree looks "dead" without the leaves and flowers, but it looks nice with leaves and flowers. 

It's tiring to walk... But I still walked..I don't want to be left behind. 

HEHEHE... you know... once you reach the top, we're not allowed to take pictures. But..

I took a picture of IT! HAHA! I'm bad.. yeah. HAHA!

Souvenir Shop... I didn't buy anything though.

Just went wall climbing with my friends after our stroll.

...

And HIGHLIGHTING the trip is the Paintball Match we had.

Too bad I don't have a picture wearing the "helmet" and "armor". HAHA! It was the first time I played paintball! I was both excited and scared! I'm only wearing shorts you know! I'm scared I might get hit ... "below the belt". HAHAHA!

Oh gosh! I had so much fun here. Although the paintball gun is kinda heavy and wearing the helmet is very uncomfortable. It gets on the way while we're firing. 

I'm thankful I had fun with my college friends today. 

I just love to "HAHAHA"!

Well.. that ends the field trip!

A Few Words from Me..

2010-11-23T18:02:00.004+08:00

Hi there! As you can see, I just opened an account here in blogspot. I'm not really new to blogging and I'm not really sure why I even decided to create my own blog. I guess it's for fun? I kinda thought of sharing some of my thoughts to different people. Share my experiences, opinions, and many other things that will of course relate to me and to people acquainted with me.

...Almost forgot to introduce myself. You can all call me Pretzel although in reality my nickname's different. Why is my username in blogspot "Pretzel Gurl"? Well, I just remembered how much I love to eat Pretzels. You know.. the chocolate-coated stick similar to Pocky. I always buy that which is one of the reasons why some of my high school friends call me Pretzel Gurl. Whatever! I just thought of it... 

I'm currently 16 years old and will be turning 17 this February. I'm a college student currently taking BS Accountancy as my major. I hate Science, I love Math. English?... Let's just say I'm not very good with it. I'm still hoping that I'll improve in it.

...

Well.. I guess I'll just end it here... Oh wait!... I just want to tell you all that I'm a Filipina and proud to be one!

Okay, that ends my blog entry! Will be posting more next time! Thanks for reading.. if someone actually is reading.
