Check it out!

Pathetic.

You might ask, "How are you since the 1st day of this year?"

Allow me to answer your question as briefly as I can.

I cannot forget how my year started. That day, I was so pissed off with someone to the point that I had to cry it all out. Then I thought, "What a great way to start the year." There and then I knew that this is not going to be my year.

My first month of 2010 was all about me struggling on ways to reconcile with my sister. I had many attempts to get back to her but unfortunately, I was ignored (and I still am, by the way). Until it came to a point that I stopped, took pity on my self, and said "I've done my part. This is where I stand, and this is where it has to end." So there, I finally gave up. And she must be really very happy that I did.

I'm fed up with all the drama so let's move on talking about my job. It will be my 6th month in the company on the 11th of Feb. And I am simply amazed how time passes by so fast. Well, I think I'm doing just fine. Recently, I've been working late. I even left at 10 o'clock last Friday night. I like it that I'm busy, though. It keeps me away from all the UNnecessary thoughts that could ever cross my mind. I'm still keeping up with my job. So far, so good.

And finally, I would also like to share this to you. I hate the month of Feb. Okay. I am bitter. It's just that since birth, I haven't really felt how special this month is. Now that I have finished school, I am supposed to be eligible to be in a relationship. But guess what? I am still single. It's kinda frustrating to be single at this age (I am 21, by the way. Turning 22 this year.) I really envy those who have someone special. Nakaka-inggit! My friends keep telling me lots of words of wisdom just to comfort me which I appreciate, by the way. But mehn, honestly? I am already desperate. I don't need sympathy, I need love. HAHAHA! Oooppss! Sorry, do I sound pathetic now? Sometimes I just end up asking God, "When can I have my love story, Father?" *sighs*

Anyway, I have to end here. This update was supposed to be brief, and I'm sorry it's not. HAHA!

"I know I'm still lucky to be in this situation... But the mere fact that I can't stop thinking of what could've been makes me feel oh so sad. Like I said, it's always a choice to be happy. But what if even happiness won't make itself an option? I guess it's just something I have to deal with... and all that's left to do is pray that in the long run, I will learn to get used to it."

Want me to prove to you a lot could happen in just 10 days? Read on.

I have already moved out yesterday. It was once just a plan I never thought I’d really do. I am the type of person who does not easily give up but when I’m told to, I do. "Someone has to say it."

If you read below, I said ten days ago that I was pissed off with the situation and not the person. But after I talked to the person and tried to fix things up, and even tried to ask help for me not to give up, I am now angry with both the situation and unfortunately, with the person. And you know what? I just realized that when it’s pride you’re fighting with, it’ll knock you down. And it’s a slap on your face when pride reigns over love. Some people claim it’s all they got. The question is, has it done something good to you and to the people around you? If yes, were you really happy? Or just pretending to be happy? You wonder what’s wrong. Have you ever thought that maybe it’s because of your pride everything has gone wrong?

Ugh

Well good luck to you and your pride. May it give you the happiness you think your unworthy family cannot give you. May you live happily ever after.

Unhappy

2009-12-07T07:18:00.001-08:00

This afternoon, two of us from the company were interviewed by representatives from Personal Excellence about how it is living and working in Singapore. One of the questions was, "What motivated you to come here in Singapore?"

Then I just remembered WHO motivated me, and not WHAT. And unfortunately that person who was my main reason for coming here, is so far away from me right now. So near, yet so far. I'm afraid I might be giving up on this person. This person is just too strong to handle. It has been eight days and during these days I've been trying to find the perfect time to break the ice. But every time I try to, I keep seeing reasons not to. Not yet.

My heart is enraged. Not because of this person, but because of what I have to deal with right now. My family is my weakness. I may be coward at times, but in my mind and in my heart I would always try to defend whoever hurts anyone in my family. But the hardest part is when 'whoever' is also part of the family, the closest to me.

I really don't know what to do. I am so caught in the middle of a situation I never wanted to happen. I wonder why I had to deal with my mother's feelings all by myself. For a week I have been shedding tears every time I think of what's happening with my family right now. And it sucks giving my parents some false hope. It'll only be me who's coming home, Ma.

It's funny how someone you hate could make you turn against your family and blaming them for something they didn't even want to happen.

Well, a decision has been made. I just hope it won't make the situation worse. But to be honest? It's going to get worse. I'm just so scared.

We'll see what happens in the next few days or months.. If I continue to be unhappy here, I will move out. I know it's risky but I know it'll be easier that way. And I know so well that it'll be my loss. I'd rather live alone than live with someone who's mad at me and my family, someone who thinks that going home is not worth it. I wish she realizes how this is hurting me, how this is gonna affect my parents, and how I have to deal with my parents' feelings, something she claimed she does not care about. My friends say she's just mad. I know she's a smart person and I've always believed in her. But I don't know why this time I feel like she's making a huge mistake.

Pardon me for my scattered thoughts, I'm just so lost right now and unhappy.

The Update I Owe You

2009-11-15T05:00:00.000-08:00

Remember I told you I'd be leaving for Singapore last May 6? Yeah. I left Philippines and after 60 days, I went back. If you only knew how frustrated I was looking for a job and then ended up going back home. But you know what I love about life? Surprises. While I was back home, I got an email. I got hired! So two weeks later, I flew right back to Singapore. It felt like heaven having been hired. God has finally blessed me with a job here in Singapore. I actually work as a Systems Analyst at JobsCentral Pte Ltd. I recently just finished my probation last week. And so, here I am... A regular employee after three months.

I'm starting to get the taste of real life. Work gets stressful sometimes, and ugh... BUDGET! And sometimes, I really miss the people back home. But what keeps me going is the fact that God gives me blessings which I am and will be forever thankful for. I'm so thankful that my first job is here in Singapore. They say I'm lucky. I say I'm blessed. *winks*

This is just a short update and I hope these pictures will fill you in. ^_^

Paintball, anyone?

2009-11-13T23:41:00.000-08:00

Here's an update: Guys, I am now working as a Systems Analyst here in Singapore. And just last month, we had our annual team building in the IT department. Guess what we did for fun? PAINTBALL! It was my first time to play paintball! I really had so much fun even if I already got tired in the first few minutes of the game. HAHA! Paintball is a very interesting game you guys might wanna try.

Not being satisfied by just playing, I tried to search anything about paintball online and I came across this website that sells paintball guns and gears. Okay, it's not that I am planning to buy gears now. But still, I wanna share to those people who might be interested, especially GUYS! haha! To those who would want to buy the guns and gears at just one purchase, you can buy the spyder victor paintball gun package. OR if you really wanna make the most out of your paintball game and be totally ready for it, you can try the spyder extra, for some additional items.

I know right? If you wanna have fun you really have to invest on what you love. And hey, paintball is all worth the investment! Enjoy! Aim and fire! *winks*

lyrics

1-2-1-2-3-4
Give me more loving than I’ve ever had
Make me feel better when I’m feeling sad
Tell me I’m special even though I know I’m not
Make me feel good when I hurt so bad
Barely getting mad
I’m so glad I found you
I love being around you
You make it easy
Its as easy as 1-2-1-2-3-4
There’s only one thing
To Do
Three words
For you
(I love you) I love you
There’s only one way to say
Those three words
That’s what I’ll do
(I love you) I love you
Give me more loving from the very start
Piece me back together when I fall apart
Tell me things you never even tell your closest friends
Make me feel good when I hurt so bad
You’re the best that I’ve had
And I’m so glad I found you
I love being around you
You make it easy
It’s easy as 1-2-1-2-3-4
There’s only one thing
To Do
Three words
For you
(I love you) I love you
There’s only one way to say
Those three words
That’s what I’ll do
(I love you) I love you
(I love you) I love you
You make it easy
It’s easy as 1 2 1 2 3 4
There’s only one thing
To Do
Three words
For you
(I love you) I love you
There’s only one way to say
Those three words
That’s what I’ll do
(I love you) I love you
(I love you) I love you
1-2-3-4
I love you
(I love you) I love you

Batch 2009

Yes, friends. I have finally graduated in college! After 15 years of studying, i'm finally done w/ school! Wohoooo! And now, i'm unemployed but I hope I won't stay that way forever. On May 6, i'll be leaving for Singapore. I just wanna try my luck there. The thought of leaving this place and the people I love breaks my heart. But then, life has to go on. It's not like i'm no longer coming back here in the Philippines, right? But oh... I will miss everyone! But on the bright side, I'm kinda excited about S'pore. I wonder how it is to be living there with my sister (who actually works as the HR Operations Executive of Unilever, SG). Questions like "Will I meet someone special there? Am I going to stay there forever? Is S'pore my destiny?" cross my mind. Weee! This is gonna be exciting. *winks* Well I guess I can update you when i'm there.

I really have a lot to share. Maybe next time.

Anyway, CONGRATULATIONS to me and my fellow graduates!

Again

2009-01-30T04:35:00.000-08:00

AGAIN by Janet Jackson
This one's for you =)

I heard from a friend today
And she said you were in town
Suddenly the memories came back to me in my mind

How can I be strong I've asked myself
Time and time I've said
That I'll never fall in love with you again

A wounded heart you gave,
My soul you took away
Good intentions you had many,
I know you did
I come from a place that hurts,
and God knows how I've cried
And I never want to return
Never fall again
Making love to you oh it felt so good and oh so right

How can I be strong I've asked myself
Time and time I've said
That I'll never fall in love with you again

So here we are alone again,
Didn't think it'd come to this
And to know it all began
With just a little kiss
I've come too close to happiness,
To have it swept away
Don't think I can take the pain
Never fall again

Kinda late in the game
And my heart is in your hands
Don't you stand there and then tell me
You love me
Then leave again
'Cause I'm falling in love with you again

Hold me, hold me
Don't ever let me go
Say it just one time
Say you love me
God knows I do love you again

Out of Track

2009-01-29T16:49:00.000-08:00

Missed me? *winks*

Well, yeah. I've been gone for too long. I am the title of this entry. Life has been very busy lately and I just couldn't find time to update my blog. I have also been thinking 'bout lots of things. Gawd! And I mean A LOT!

I might have the guts to share my recent thoughts here... some other time. So just keep posted. Haha! :p

That's all for now. I just want you to know I still exist... and by the way, I miss you too.

On Leave

2009-01-21T06:49:00.000-08:00

I will not be online from January 22-24 because I will be very busy with the Quantum and IT Convention. I am actually one of the staff so just imagine how busy being one is. We are all so excited yet nervous! We are expecting 150+ delegates from four different schools in Mindanao. We hope this will be a great success!

Wish us good luck!

You Matter

2009-01-17T05:47:00.000-08:00

I never thought you matter to me until I saw you today
You were so stunning, you left me with nothing to say
What are you doing, making me fall in love with you?

I never thought you matter to me until I had a bad dream
The pain felt so real and I thank God I woke up from it
What was it trying to say?

I never thought you matter to me until I saw you today with someone else
It was like my heart felt a sting
What happened to the things you once told me?

I never thought you still matter to me
Well, guess what?
Unfortunately, yes. You still do.

Take Me To Boracay Island

2009-01-16T22:17:00.000-08:00

Boracay is one of the places I wish to visit here in Philippines. It's actually a very famous tourist spot.

I wish someday I can go to this place, enjoy the beach, the white sand, the clear waters... Maybe I can go there when I already have a job. But then again, I still have to lose weight and look sexy before that happens. *laughs* I can't just wear shirt and shorts, right? Arggh.. All I can do is imagine that I'm wearing a two-piece swimsuit, walking by the beach, or enjoy sunbathing. There are also parties at night so people can drink and dance and have fun all night long. Wow. I love that! *laughs* Oh well... wishful thinking. Tsk tsk.. Someday, someday.. *sighs*

Flash Floods in Cagayan de Oro City

2009-01-14T00:50:00.000-08:00

It seems that Cagayan de Oro City is having a bad start this year. Just last January 3, the Cagayan River raged and greatly affected residents nearby. Eight days after, almost all parts of the city were submerged due to constant heavy rains. We thought it was the worst. But we were wrong. Two days after, flash floods hit the city and more areas were affected. Thousands of people are still suffering because of the disaster. Many have lost their homes. There were also people buried alive due to landslides. The classes were also suspended this morning (which is the only good thing about having flash floods)... Anyway, here are sample pictures taken by two of my friends.

I have read from the news that the floods were caused by the tropical storm "Auring" and the continuous cold front. I never expected these things to happen here in CDO. I never expected it would be this worse. When I listen to the radio, all I hear is bad news. Floods here, landslides there, victims everywhere. Although I still thank God that we are safe here at home, I just can't help but worry and feel helpless about those thousands of people affected by the calamity. I just hope everything will be alright soon. Please help me pray.

ID Pictures in Business Attire

2009-01-12T03:19:00.000-08:00

Me and Beverly

We had our picture taken at the studio this afternoon. As a requirement for graduating students, we have to wear a business attire for the ID picture. Since we were too tired to wear or bring with us our own business attire, we borrowed from the studio instead. And this is how it turned out. Both of us look almost the same! *laughs* We had a blast laughing at our pictures the moment we saw them upon claiming. Crazy! *laughs harder*

Hey! We're not sisters, okay? We're not twins! She's a very good friend. We're crazily happy together. *laughs*

New Year, New Hair

2009-01-08T16:57:00.000-08:00

Hello, 2009!

So this is my first post for this year. As of the moment, I only have one thing to share with you. And that is all about having a new look. Me and my sister had our hairstyle changed last January 3. She got her formerly straight hair curled, and I got my formerly curly hair straightened. Cool, isn't it? We swapped hairstyles on the same day but in different places (she's in Singapore, I'm here in the Philippines). *laughs* Anyway, here are pictures for you to see our new hair for the new year.

above: ME ... below: my sister, Wendy

What do you think? *winks*

New Year's Resolution

2008-12-31T01:55:00.000-08:00

What really is it?

According to Wikipedia, a New Year's Resolution is a commitment that an individual makes to a project or the reforming of a habit, often a lifestyle change that is generally interpreted as advantageous. The name comes from the fact that these commitments normally go into effect on New Year's Day and remain until fulfilled or abandoned.

Remain until fulfilled or abandoned? Abandoned? Okay... So some resolutions are meant to be abandoned, right? I tried not to think about resolutions for 2009 since I was thinking time would come that they're no longer followed. Not until I found the definition above. So here is a list of my resolutions for the new year.

Go to mass every Sunday at the Xavier University Chapel.
Try to avoid over-eating. I'm getting fat! *worries*
Start thinking positive all the time. Don't worry too much.
Save money!
Don't be insecure. I'll try.
Avoid cramming. Be a responsible student!
Clean your room regularly.
Don't speak bad words!
Avoid backbiting. Stop being mean!
Be kind. Be nice.

Those are my ten new year's resolutions. I really hope I can commit to each one of them. So help me, God.

How about you, what are your new year's resolutions?

2008: The Year That Was

2008-12-30T05:34:00.000-08:00

Today is the second to the last day of year 2008. Before I welcome year 2009, allow me to share to you the highlights of my year 2008.

STUDIES. I really had a hard time dealing with my studies this year. Although I made it to the Dean's List last March, I still think I'm not doing good at all. Last semester, I got very low grades which is why I wasn't able to make it to the Dean's List anymore. I was even scared I wouldn't be able to maintain my scholarship but fortunately I still have it! Thank God! Well currently I have so many requirements to accomplish: projects, assignments. God, help me! By the way, I'm taking up BS Computer Science at Xavier University and I'll be graduating this March, hopefully. So just imagine how busy I am.

SOCIAL LIFE. Well I've had so much fun this year even though I'm not in good terms with someone right now and even though I had a very self-degrading experience early this semester. I have attended several gatherings and shared more bonding moments with my friends especially my blockmates. I also had great fun and adventure in different places. Last summer, I was in Manila for my OJT and the IT department of the company I was working for, had an outing at Zambales. We visited two nice islands there! I also went to Enchanted Kingdom with some of my high school classmates. During the semestral break, I explored Camiguin Island with four of my blockmates. I really had a blast!

LOVE LIFE. It was good during the first month but he was gone all of a sudden. During summer, I found out something that really hurt my pride. Then I found a guy I thought of as my ideal guy. But he had a girlfriend. Too bad. Well, I have many crushes back in school. I think I haven't fallen in love with any of them, which is actually great fun. And then... just this month, I had a conversation with someone and there were revelations which only the two of us know. I guess it was just nothing. But we'll see what's in store for the two of us next year. (as if! hahaha)

FAMILY LIFE. I think my family is doing good. I mean, problems never stop coming right but then I'm glad we're still hanging on. But this year, I really had my full attention given to my sister who's going through a lot lately. I really can't forget what happened last summer when we were still in Manila. It wasn't easy. It was too hard to take. I guess it was the worst thing I ever encountered in my life. But what I like about that experience is that it brought me and my sister to a deeper relationship. We remained strong by always being there for each other. I hope God will grant her the end of her sufferings.

UNCATEGORIZED. I don't know which aspect this falls but I'm gonna share it anyway. Late this year I have a friend who invited me to be part of his band, making me one of the four vocalists. I'm really very excited about this one 'coz I have always dreamt of singing with a band. I hope we will be able to push through with the plans. I wanna make it happen! *fingers crossed*

Wow! I just realized how memorable my year 2008 is. It has been a year full of ups and downs. Well... let's just see what's gonna happen to my life in 2009. May it bring me and all of us more joy than sadness. Have a blessed new year, everyone! *winks*

Elle: The Gossip Girl

2008-12-28T16:52:00.000-08:00

Who among you are Heroes and Gossip Girl fanatics just like me? Did you know that Kristen Bell who played the late Elle of HEROES is the same person who plays as the Upper East Side blogger with all the hot gossip as the narrator on GOSSIP GIRL?

Yeah. I was as surprised as you are. Or... Am I too late to know about this? It's quite funny 'coz I have been watching HEROES (whose volume three just ended) and GOSSIP GIRL (whose latest episode, the 13th of season 2, is my favorite) and I just found out about this yesterday. *laughs* It was unbelievable at first so I tried to compare Elle's voice and Gossip Girl's and see if they are the same. Watch and listen.

Uhmmm.. yeah. So true! Only that Kristen's voice in Gossip Girl is gossipy, of course. I like Kristen Bell. It's just so sad that we won't be seeing her anymore since her character was killed by Sylar (played by Zachary Quinto, a very close friend of Kristen Bell and rumored to be his boyfriend).

Oh well... I guess Kristen Bell's career is at its peak right now. I mean... being part of the famous Gossip Girl? It must be something she should be proud of.

She knows we love her.

Lonely Christmas

2008-12-23T21:22:00.000-08:00

Okay. I thought my Christmas is gonna be fun or merry. I miss everyone. I only have my parents to celebrate with. My sister and two brothers won't be home for Christmas. Sad, right? But I think my situation is better. At least I have my parents. I just can't imagine being in the shoes of my siblings. They're out there, celebrating with their friends. But still, that kinda feels lonely right? Oh my. I can't imagine celebrating Christmas without my family. Soon, I'll be working. I might be all by myself next Christmas. Ugh. But I wanna see to it that I'll be home every Christmas. I'll do what it takes.

Anyway, this one's funny. While I was Googling images for "lonely christmas" I found this image. *laughs* Pathetic? Yeah yeah. This picture is very sad yet I can't help but laugh at it. She's very lonely and sad. I would love to relate myself to her but then, what's that mistletoe for? Wait, she's loveless! Like me? Definitely! As a ~~teenager~~ young lady, it's normal that I long to have a special someone on Christmas. But due to family rules and regulations, I can't have one. I still have to graduate. And yes!!! I'll be graduating on March! I mean, assumingly, I won't be lonely next Christmas! *giggles*

Wait, have you noticed the shift? From family to lovelife. Crap! I'm sorry. I got out of track. Well either way, the truth remains: my Christmas is lonely. But I'm not really sad. It's normal! Good thing I have other things to do online: blog, play games, check emails, chat at YM, watch movies, make projects and assignments (I hate my teachers for these!), etcetera etcetera... Merry Christmas to me!!!

OMG! wait!! While I was about to end this post, my Tita came and handed me P500! Gawd!!!! I love her!! Hahahaha! I am soooooo happy! Weeeeee!!!!!! Haha! Wait, where was I? Oh. Yeah. Ciao! :p

Thoughts at the Start of the Christmas Break

2008-12-21T02:30:00.000-08:00

I think I started my Christmas break right. Our organization held a Christmas Party last Saturday evening and it was a blast! I enjoyed the games, the food, the people. I never had that kind of party in a long time. You know, the typical Christmas party we used to have back in grade school. It was nice. I can really say that I had enjoyed a lot during my last Christmas Party in college. Aside from that, I love my friends' gifts. Special thanks to Beverly, Arriane, and Thesa. I am so touched for their thoughtfulness. Thank you, gals! *hugs*

Anyway, some of us stayed somewhere over night. It was fun though. Spending time with a new crowd just drinking, talking, laughing, playing dart, billiards, spin-the-bottle game, etc. And yeah, I've discovered a lot from talking with different people. And they made me feel good. Talk about compliments. Gawd, I never heard such things in a long time. Maybe it's the greatest gift I have received. You know, being appreciated for what you have and what you are, realizing your worth. Such a nice feeling! Flattering... except for some things that got in the way like your friends having to deal with some issues you are actually involved in. Although I preferred them to just let us be, I still love them for trying. I appreciate the effort. Some things are just meant to end. What's lost it lost.

And by the way, it's Christmas! Be happy! And I am happy! I also finally got the chance to spend time with my bestfriend who I miss so much. Gawd, last night was really memorable. I guess I'll be having a merry Christmas. Thank you, Lord! It was a good start. I hope it goes on and on.

To everyone out there, advanced HAPPY CHRISTMAS! Be merry, be very merry. *winks*

WaterWalkerz's Hamster Ball

2008-12-16T16:27:00.000-08:00

I'm not sure if that's what they call it. I just found out about this cool invention based in UK, a giant beach ball that can contain a human being who then tries to walk on the water. I've seen the video and found it funny. *laughs* But I'm kinda curious how's it gonna be when you are inside a ball then you try to walk on the water. Gosh! Wouldn't that be fun? But I think it's hard because it's not easy to balance yourself considering the buoyancy of the water. You'll just end up stumbling or rolling inside. Pathetic! *laughs* Oh well, it would give you an idea how it is to be a hamster. *winks* But I think this is a great workout too! It's a great challenge. Awwww.. I so wanna try it. I'm sure you'd feel the way I do ~~after~~ while watching the video. Take a look! *grins* You can also visit their site too. Click here.

Sore Throat - Causes and Remedies

2008-12-13T17:23:00.000-08:00

It's been three days since I had this sore throat and it's just getting worse each day. *frets* I haven't got the chance to go the hospital and have it checked up. I just can't find the time. Tsk. But my mother gave me some temporary meds to take until we visit the doctor. Being so worried about my situation, I searched Google about sore throat. And here's what I've read from MedicineNet:

A sore throat can have many causes including:

Common viruses, and even the viruses that cause mononucleosis (mono) and the flu, can cause a sore throat. Some viruses can also produce blisters in the mouth and throat ("aphthous stomatitis").
Breathing through the mouth can produce throat dryness and soreness.
Sinus drainage (post nasal drip) may cause a sore throat.
A sore throat can also be caused by bacteria. The two most common bacteria to cause a sore throat are Streptococcus (which causes strep throat) and Arcanobacterium haemolyticum. Arcanobacterium causes sore throats mainly in young adults and is sometimes associated with a fine red rash.
Sore throat appearing after treatment with antibiotics, chemotherapy, or other immune-compromising medications may be due to Candida, commonly known as "thrush."
A sore throat lasting for more than two weeks can be a sign of a serious illness, such as throat cancer or AIDS.

Now we know the possible causes. I think what caused my sore throat is number 3. Anyway, here are the remedies suggested by MedicineNet:

Generally, sore throats must run their course (exception, strep throat will be addressed below.)

Salt water gargles, hard candies, sprays for example, Chloraseptic) and lozenges can provide temporary pain relief. (Caution: Lozenges and hard candy are a choking hazard for children. Avoid their use in young children.)
A humidifier may be helpful in relieving symptoms, especially in sore throats caused by mouth breathing and dry air.
Acetaminophen or ibuprofen may help control the pain.
For adults, if your nose is plugged, nasal sprays such as Afrin may be used for two to three days to prevent mouth breathing. It is NOT a good idea to use these products for more than a couple of days; you may become dependent on them.
Other decongestant products, such as Sudafed, may be helpful.

I might try some of these. But then, if all else fails, it's still best to consult a doctor. Right? Gawd. I hope I'll get well soon. This is just so hard. It's painful to swallow. *sighs* Pray for me, will you? Thanks. *smiles*

Ebola Virus Hit Pigs in the Philippines

2008-12-11T04:05:00.000-08:00

This morning, I heard a news from the radio saying that there's a virus detected on some pigs in our country. Oh my! Pigs? I love pork!!! Noooo! So I searched about the news and found this most accurate news online. This news is taken from The Earth Times.

***

Manila - Philippine President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo Thursday ordered agriculture and health officials to closely monitor an outbreak of an Ebola virus strain in several pig farms in three northern provinces. Deputy presidential spokesman Anthony Golez said Arroyo wanted agriculture authorities to prevent the Ebola Reston virus from spreading to other pig farms in the country.

Golez, a medical doctor, assured the public that the Ebola Reston virus found in the pigs was not harmful to humans.

"From the epidemiological standpoint, humans have high tolerance for this virus," he said. "Just like any other food, we should make sure that the food we are preparing is cooked properly."

Golez said the Ebola Reston virus dies at 70 degrees Celcius, which is below boiling point.

Agriculture Secretary Arthur Yap said the government had temporarily suspended exports of all pork products from the Philippines until the virus has been eradicated.

"Although the virus does not affect the health of humans, we decided to put on hold all exports," he said. "Let us eradicate first this virus."

Yap said agriculture technicians confirmed that 28 pigs from four piggeries in the northern provinces of Bulacan, Pangasinan and Nueva Ecija had tested positive for the virus during a recent random check.

He said the Bureau of Animal Industry set up pig checkpoints to prevent the transport of contaminated animals. A total of 42 people who had close contacts with the contaminated pigs had tested negative for the disease, Yap said.

***

So it's not really that harmful, right? But still, we have to be careful on what we eat. Well I have noticed that most animals have diseases or virus. Maybe the safest way to avoid these is to change our lifestyle. Vegetables and fruits are more nutritious. Let us all be vegetarians! *laugh* Yeah right... I, myself, can't be a vegetarian. I mean, I don't think I'd be happy being a vegetarian. I'm an omnivore! *winks* But then seriously, friends, let's be careful alright? Just be careful.

Beats, anyone?

2008-11-29T20:15:00.000-08:00

We love music, right? I mean... Who doesn't? Well there's this one music website where one can listen to some beats. When I first visited it, the site loaded fastly. I have always had this thinking that music websites often take so much time to load. But this site? It's an exception. And the list of music are properly laid out. The site is simple yet elegant. The beats can be played upon your choice and when you like them, you have to register to download it. The fees are quite expensive but I guess the beats are worth the price. Why? It's because these beats are original and they are composed and uploaded by real artists. They may not be that famous but they have the talent to compose beats! Amazing, right? So this site is not just for downloads. You can also submit your composition and become a featured artist. One thing more, once you have downloaded a beat, you can use it to make a song. You can sell, distribute, perform and broadcast the song/video you make with any instrumental downloaded from the site. Jee Juh Productions make all these possible for musically-inclined people who either want to compose, or make use of the beats to come up with a real song. Beats, anyone? Visit their site now.

Mac Games and More

2008-11-27T18:00:00.000-08:00

I'm not really that type of person who's into games. But sometimes I play especially when I get so bored. I even get addicted to some fun games. One can find many downloadable games online. However, I got into this website where there are free mac games. Mac, yes! As in Macintosh games! How many of you love Mac? *grins* For those who do not know yet, Mac developers created mac games that have very nice user interface. I like the design of the games! I know you'll like them. And oh! By the way, everyone knows how to play solitaire, right? You can also play spider solitaire for mac, too! Curious? Just click one of the links and find out for yourself. *winks* Enjoy the mac games!

All I Want For Christmas

2008-11-25T07:35:00.000-08:00

a baby??? No! Not yet, of course! *laughs*

It's exactly 30 days before Christmas and honestly, I really don't know what my heart's deepest desire is for Christmas. I haven't really been enjoying my Christmas these past few years. Happy, in a way, yes... But there's always something missing. And I don't know what that is. Maybe I just miss celebrating Christmas with my whole family. It's been a long time since all the members of our family celebrated Christmas together. Awww... I miss us. Geez... stop!:)

But hey! I have here a list of things that I want this Christmas! *winks*

new magic wallet
plain Havaianas slim slippers
external hard disk
8gig flash disk
fluffy flip flops
pajamas
extra cellphone
"Whatever" shirt
big huggable stuffed toy!!!
Nike sling bag
kinda big shoulder bag (for my books)
chocolates

Hahaha! Wow! Not so many, huh? *grins* Oh well, I accept gifts from anyone. Haha! And you, do you want to make me happy? Send me gifts! *lol* Joke! (but jokes are half-meant) *evilsmile*

Merry Christmas, everyone!:)

Unpretty

2008-11-22T18:12:00.000-08:00

Whenever one visits my blog, one wonders why its title is "Unpretty". I should have posted the origin of this blog title the first time I got it published. But it's not yet too late to inform you now, right?

The first time I came across the word "unpretty" was when I first heard the song "Unpretty" by TLC. I guess that was almost ten years ago. The song is nice and somehow I started to relate to it when I reached college. I'm also fond of chatting in mIRC and there was once I used it as my nick. But then I stopped using it after finding out there was another girl using the same nick. "Oh well... I can still use it as the title of my blog," I thought. So here, the title of my blog is Unpretty. Why? It's because some people make me feel I am. I can't please everyone, right? And I guess I'd have to live with that. But, I'm still grateful some would say I'm not. Gee, thanks! *winks* I love you! But still... I like the title of my blog, unique! :)

So here's the song I'm referring to. Enjoy the video!:)

Chase me, Chace!

2008-11-20T16:28:00.000-08:00

Oh I love Chace Crawford!!! I've been watching Gossip Girl and I've always been looking forward to seeing Chace (or Nate Archibald) in every episode. Gosh! He's just so cute, handsome, and uber hot! I so like it when he looks so serious. Those eyes!!!! I love him! Haha! :p I'm dying to see him in person! *lol* Bear with me, guys! I know this post is non-sense but still... you're reading it! Haha! Thanks :p

Anyway... C'mon girls, drooooooooooooool! *drools* eek!

Like a Virgin

2008-11-16T16:32:00.000-08:00

nyahahahhha! Last Sunday, Kuya Aze and Kuya Jamz (my co-volunteers-slash-close-friends in the XU Central Student Government '07) gave me a "short notice" visit. Maybe we were just bored. We were like crazy. At least we enjoyed our sing-and-dance sessions! Hahahaha! :D Wanna see more of our crazy videos? Click here.

VIXY - Online Video Converter

2008-11-13T22:23:00.000-08:00

A friend of mine requested me to master his favorite song. I wasn't able to download it on Limewire so I decided to download only the audio of the song's video from YouTube. So I asked my friend Thesa how to do it and she suggested to visit vix-y.net. I was totally amazed! Or maybe I was just so ignorant. *laughs* I think converting the video to MP3 format is a lot easier and faster than downloading mp3s. All you have to do is enter the video's URL! Great!

Here are the screenshots of the tool... You can download the Vixy.net Converter Desktop Version here.

Boost Your Self-Esteem

2008-11-11T17:48:00.000-08:00

I so need these tips right now. I just had a very bad experience I think I'll never forget. Imagine being compared to a girl you know who is a lot more beautiful than you in class. "Who is more beautiful?" -- "Who is more attractive?" Dammit! It was the most embarrassing and most humiliating experience I ever had. It damaged my self-esteem. I am so damaged. Damaged to the point that I sought ways to make my self feel better. I really hope I could get over this soon. God, help me.

* * *

1) Think back to when you did something new for the first time.

Learning something new is often accompanied by feelings of nervousness, lack of self belief and high stress levels, all of which are necessary parts of the learning process. The next time you feel under-confident, remembering this will remind you that it's perfectly normal - you're just learning!

2) Do something you have been putting off.

Like writing or calling a friend, cleaning the house, tidying the garden, fixing the car, organizing the bills, making a tasty and healthy meal - anything that involved you making a decision, then following through!

3) Do something you are good at.

Examples? How about swimming, running, dancing, cooking, gardening, climbing, painting, writing… If possible, it should be something that holds your attention and requires enough focus to get you into that state of 'flow' where you forget about everything else. You will feel more competent, accomplished and capable afterwards, great antidotes to low self esteem!

And while you're at it, seriously consider doing something like this at least once a week. People who experience 'flow' regularly seem to be happier and healthier.

4) Stop thinking about yourself!

I know this sounds strange, but low self esteem is often accompanied by too much focus on the self. Doing something that absorbs you and holds your attention can quickly make you feel better.

5) Get seriously relaxed.

If you are feeling low, anxious or lacking in confidence, the first thing to do is to stop thinking and relax properly. Some people do this by exercising, others by involving themselves in something that occupies their mind. However, being able to relax yourself when you want is a fantastic life skill and so practicing self hypnosis, meditation, or a physically-based relaxation technique such as Tai Chi can be incredibly useful.

When you are properly relaxed, your brain is less emotional and your memory for good events works better. A great 'rescue remedy'!

6) Remember all the things you have achieved.

This can be difficult at first, but after a while, you'll develop a handy mental list of self-esteem boosting memories. And if you're thinking "But I've never achieved anything", I'm not talking about climbing Everest here.

Things like passing your driving test (despite being nervous), passing exams (despite doubting that you would), playing team sport, getting fit (even if you let it slip later), saving money for something, trying to help someone (even if it didn't work) and so on.

7) Remember that you could be wrong!

If you are feeling bad about yourself, remember that you way you feel affects your thoughts, memory and behavior. So when you feel bad, you will only remember the bad times, and will tend to be pessimistic about yourself. This is where the tip 'Get Seriously Relaxed' comes in!

Summary

Once you have tried out a few of these, consider making them a permanent part of your life. For most people, good self esteem is not just a happy accident, it's a result of the way they think and the things they do from day to day. Good Luck!

Breaking Free in Camiguin

2008-11-01T17:42:00.001-07:00

Just came back from Camiguin Island!!! Wooooot! We had so much fun! With at least Php 1,300.00 as pocket money, the five of us (Alvin, Arriane, Bevs, Ken, and I) already enjoyed our stay there last October 28-30. We went to Sto. Nino Cold Spring, Soda Swimming Pool, Old Church Ruins, Sunken Cemetery, Walkway, Ardent Hot Spring, and last but the best, White Island. Quite a lot, huh? It was my second time to tour Camiguin and yet, the feeling of visiting that place is always new to me. Fun fun fun! *grins* Below are some pictures taken.. more photos

Importance of Potassium

2008-10-26T06:29:00.000-07:00

You may ask, "Why potassium?" Oh well... It's because I have this friend who was admitted to the hospital last week because of heart inflammation (?). And the cause? Potassium Deficiency. Years ago, I also had a classmate who was also sick due to the same cause. And so I started to wonder what potassium is and how important it is to our body. I did some research and here's what I found.

***

Potassium’s roles in the body include:

maintains fluid and electrolyte balance

helps transmit nerve impulses

helps regulate blood pressure and reduces the risk of stroke

helps maintain a regular heartbeat

helps prevent muscle cramps

Bananas, just one of many potassium-rich foods, are often recommended by health care professionals because they are readily available, easy to chew; and sweet in taste, which almost everyone likes. (Thank God I often eat banana. It's my favorite!)

EXCESS OF POTASSIUM

Normally an overdose of potassium is not life-threatening, since excess potassium triggers a vomiting reflex in the stomach. Babies and people with weak hearts may not be able to withstand this trauma. Consuming too much potassium can be harmful to people with kidney problems, because they are unable to get rid of the excess.

There is no major chronic disease associated with too much potassium. When excess potassium is present in the blood, the cause is usually a health problem such as kidney failure, uncontrolled diabetes or use of certain drugs. Excess potassium can trigger a heart attack and result in death.

POTASSIUM DEFICIENCY

A potassium deficiency is unlikely in healthy people, unless the diet primarily consists of highly processed foods on a continuous basis. A deficiency is usually caused by losing excessive amounts of potassium rather than not getting enough in the diet.

The earliest symptoms of a deficiency are tiredness, muscle weakness, and heart muscle irritability, followed by paralysis and confusion. The following conditions can cause a potassium deficiency:

dehydration (includes excessive sweating)

prolonged diarrhea or vomiting (includes anorexia nervosa and bulimia)

diabetic acidosis

regular use of certain drugs such as diuretics, strong laxatives and steroids

certain chronic diseases like adrenal gland disorders, nephritis and acute leukemia

Note: Low potassium symptoms can last for days.

There you have it... so guys, put some potassium inside your system if you don't want to be rushed to the hospital. *winks* Take care!

Top Three Ideal Dates

2008-10-21T09:49:00.000-07:00

I'm all out of love. So what I do is daydream. Pathetic, huh? More like... "hopeless romantic". *laughs*

So here are my top ideal dates. Gosh! So kilig! *giggles*

TOP 1: At The Beach, During The Sunset

Ever since high school, this has been my ultimate ideal date! It's cheap and simple. You only have to go the nearest beach (it has to be clean!), watch the sunset, and spend the whole evening together. I can imagine walking through the shore while holding hands, or sitting together behind a bonfire. Sweet! *winks* I kinda love the beach especially at night. I just love to feel the wind from the sea, and the sound of the waves. (emo!) *giggles to the nth level* Perfectly romantic!

TOP 2: Harana

Sometimes, I still feel like doing something traditional. "Harana" (or serenade) is the traditional form of courtship in the Philippines. I still find this sweet. I can easily fall for a guy who can sing me songs while playing his guitar, especially when he has a good voice. Gosh! Just knocks me off my feet! Many times I have dreamt of being serenaded by a cute guy. *giggles* He doesn't really have to have a very good voice. It would also be fine if he doesn't know how to play the guitar. As long as he sings for me, i'll already be very impressed. Aaack! Oh I love daydreaming! Haha! =)

TOP 3: At an Adventure Park, say... Enchanted Kingdom

(Sorry to the owners of this pic. I'm not good at photo editing so it kinda looks funny. Haha!)

Last summer, my friends and I went to Enchanted Kingdom. I had so much fun! While I was there, I was also thinking that lovers can also have it as their dating place. *grins* They will surely enjoy each other's company while playing around, riding rollercoasters, bump cars, etc. I love adventure. I love to play despite my age. So this is really ideal for me. But, it doesn't have to be at Enchanted Kingdom. I've also been to HK Ocean Park and HK Disneyland.It would be a lot better if the date is gonna take place in either of these adventure parks. But it'll be too expensive! Enchanted Kingdom is preferable, money-wise. *winks*

* * *

So there.. You have just read my top three ideal dates. What are yours? *smiles*

The Dead Sea

2008-10-19T02:13:00.000-07:00

Watch this video made by my brother. He toured around Jordan just months ago and it seems like swimming in the Dead Sea was his favorite part of the tour. I wonder how it feels like to be floating on the sea without an effort. *daydreams* I so envy him. Don't worry, someday I'll tour the world! *laughs*

Now play... and have fun watching this short video clip!

Linkin Park's Chester Bennington, Injured!

2008-10-17T04:03:00.000-07:00

While I was watching MTV this morning, I heard a shocking news about my most favorite rock band, Linkin Park. Oh my gosh!!! Chester Bennington, the lead vocalist, has sustained a back injury and is under doctor's orders to refrain from traveling or any physical activities. This caused the cancellation of LP's upcoming concerts in China, Macau, and Taipei.

Chester Bennington

Sad, isn't it? I'm sure we, their fans, especially Chester's (that includes me, too), are disappointed and worried about the lead vocalist of the band. Oh well, let's just pray for his fast recovery so he could get back on stage and rock on! Oh I so love the way he sings! The best! Chester, you rock! Linkin Park, keep on rockin'!!!

Walking

2008-10-16T05:06:00.000-07:00

Long before the semestral break, I have planned to jog early in the morning for the whole break to lose weight. But unfortunately, this seemed impossible since I had no one to jog with and that's quite scary, right? So, I preferred walking with my mother instead, since she can't jog (ofcourse!).

Since last Monday, my mother and I have been waking up very early in the morning say, 5:00 AM, to walk for an average of one hour daily. I really encouraged my mother to walk with me so that both of us could have an exercise. Not only did I think of losing weight, but I also thought of helping my mother stay healthy. The doctor has been requiring her to walk at least 30 minutes a day so I thought it was about time to help her do that.

While I was thinking of what to post here, I have thought of sharing with you some benefits of walking. So here are some of its numerous benefits...

Increased cardiovascular and pulmonary (heart and lung) fitness
Reduced risk of heart disease and stroke
Improved management of conditions such as hypertension (high blood pressure), high cholesterol, joint and muscular pain or stiffness, and diabetes
Stronger bones and improved balance
Increased muscle strength and endurance
Reduced body fat.

Remember. These are just SOME of the MANY benefits of walking. So, keep walking to keep yourself healthy. As most sources say, any amount of walking is good, but for the best health results, set a brisk pace and walk for 30 minutes at least 5 times a week.

Enjoy walking, walkers! *grins*

Poems of a Scarred Heart

2008-10-14T23:25:00.000-07:00

WARNING: Some words are not suitable to mature people. Hahaha! Mushy thoughts follow. Pardon me. *blushes*

STAY
September 15 '08

A guy comes...
He pleases me...
I start to like him...
He goes away.

But you, why are you still here?
Are you not supposed to be out of my life already?

But... will you stay a little longer?
Please?

WHY HIM?
September 15 '08

Just when I finally found someone who stays,
something comes unexpectedly.
Why does it have to be him?
Yes, he's still there...
But will he be only staying for a while?

Good Lord, please keep him strong.
No one sees me the way he does.
Please don't take him away... not now, not forever.

NO LONGER HOLDING ON
August 4 '07

I deserve someone better
... a lot better

I have already let you go...
So please just go

... come back no more.

HAPPY YET STUPID
Undated

Thinking about our memories together makes me happy.
I'm happy...

but I feel stupid.

PLEASE
Undated

Please don't let it hide for I'm sick and tired of assuming.

NOTHING... JUST FACE IT!
April 4 '07

At first, it seemed he feels the same way
But then reality bites so hard that what seems is not what it is...

To me, he's something.
To him, I'm nothing.

Reality is better even if it bites
It's better to be real than to believes there's something
When actually, there's NOTHING.

VICE, SO NEAR YET SO FAR
Undated

Where are you?
I miss your presence...
your presence that gives me unexplainable happiness,
your presence that makes me hopeless.

NO, THANKS.
Undated

Thanks, but I'm sorry...
We can never be
and
we'll never be.

THIS ONE'S FOR YOU, LIAR!
Undated

I used to see you as someone too good to be true
You used to be the one who makes me feel special
We used to be so close to share almost everything

I used to...
You used to...
We used to...

But now, everything is not what

I
You
We

used to be.

NEVER!
Undated

Hate me, just hate me
'Coz I can never love you back.

UNTITLED
November 13 '06

It hurts so much to be the only one trusted by a friend who's in love with thy you used to love knowing he still holds a place in your heart. You know their secrets, you know their happy moments. Every story eats you slowly. You want to escape but the only way escaping from it is to give up a special friendship, something you can't afford to lose.

Retouched. Revived. Relived.

2008-10-14T03:16:00.000-07:00

And so I have decided to renew my blog ... for a big change. Big in the sense that aside from changing its template, I am now determined to commit to this blog. With change comes responsibility. From now on, I'll be taking that responsibility. I will be posting more (especially now that we have already subscribed to a faster internet connection). I also have a plan of putting up another exclusive blog about food recipes my mother got from her culinary workshop. I'll give you the link soon. Watch out for it! *winks*

To those who have still been visiting my blog, thank you so much! I know this blog is almost useless but still, you cared to visit and read some of my posts. Thanks, really.

Gosh! I spent almost one whole day just to change my blog. I've encountered a bunch of errors and guess what, my links are all gone! I AM SO SORRY!!! I'll try to populate my list as soon as possible. Oh, help me!

Oh wee! Good luck to me! Stick around! =)

Be Responsible, Youth!

2008-07-11T19:38:00.000-07:00

I went to the office of the Campus Ministries and took one bookmark whose content got me interested. Read on, and take time to realize...

I AM A RESPONSIBLE GIRL

My kisses are worth more than a part or a movie.
My body is the temple of God - not a plaything.
The first "NO" may be difficult - after that it's easy.
Virginity is still a virtue; lust is still a capital sin.
The way I dress, act and speak may be a temptation to my boyfriend.
I will observe modesty for his and my own protection.
My parents have done so much for me.
I wish always to be a credit to them.
My boyfriend will be a husband and father someday.
He must be a her in the eyes of his wife and children.
I will do nothing to prevent that on my dates with him.
I want to be a wife and a mother.
I will reserve my purity and affection for my husband and children.
If through my weakness, I should get pregnant,
I will not take "the easy way out" by killing my unborn child.

I AM A RESPONSIBLE BOY

The parents of my girlfriend place their trust in me.
I will not violate it.
I will respect my girlfriend as I expect other men to respect my sister.
I will respect womanhood because my mother is a woman;
I will ask my girlfriend to do nothing that I would be ashamed of if my mother found out.
My girlfriend has given me the honor and pleasure of her company.
It is wrong for me to expect more in payment for this date.
My girlfriend will be a wife and a mother someday.
She must be an example for her children and the pride of her husband.
I will help her to be as pure and decent as I want any wife to be.
Manhood means strength of character as well as body.
Lack of self-control is a sign of weakness.
I want my girlfriend to know I am manly.
God is everywhere, sees everything, knows everything.
Darkness may hide me from people, but it cannot hide me from God.
If through my lack of self-control, I should get a girl pregnant,
I will not put pressure on her to kill our unborn child.

Best Credit Offers

2008-06-14T20:52:00.000-07:00

Money is hard to find nowadays. People get the same experience of wanting or needing something but unfortunately they don't have the money to spend just when they need it the most. To solve this kind of problem, people resort to credit cards. Credit cards help people buy something without carrying cash. Credit card companies give consumers the chance to borrow money from the company and let them pay later. What's good about this service is that even if you are in debt, you're still getting benefits and advantages.

There are a lot of credit card companies out there and one cannot make sure of which one he would choose. There is this one particular site which is all about online best credit card deals. It gives information on credit cards for fair credit like their credit offers, credit history, interest rates, rewards and benefits, etc. From these, one can compare different credit cards, choose the best one, and apply online. Sounds easy, right? Visit the site now, avail of the best credit card, and enjoy shopping!

On-the-Job Training at KFC Philippines

2008-06-14T05:00:00.000-07:00

Who would expect I'd still be back to the blog line after three months? See? There can be miracles! Haha! I left my blog since I had my On-the-Job Training last summer and when I came back from Manila, I had a hard time connecting to the internet at home. But now, I'm back. Yes! And the first thing I would like to share is about my OJT experience.

Business Systems Department
KFC Philippines
RAMCAR Center
80-81 Roces Avenue, Diliman, Quezon City

RAMCAR Center is a big company of companies. It owns KFC, Mister Donut, and Motolite. I worked under KFC. I documented their "Back Office Online" system which has a lot of modules. The most challenging part was analyzing their database. Whew! I really have applied what I've learned in school. Well aside from my work, I have enjoyed my stay in the company because of my officemates. They are so fun to be with. They really made me feel that I belong to the team. Superb! On the other side, I had a hard time living in Manila. I tell you... IT'S NOT EASY! I had financial, social, emotional, physical problems. Name it! It was so damn hard living there and yet somehow, I've enjoyed because of my sister, my high school friends, and my officemates-slash-friends. I just can't find words to perfectly describe my OJT experience. It was a mix of ups and downs. My OJT in Manila has given me the glimpse of the real world - the world after graduation. Indeed it's true what they say: It's better to study than to work.

Here are some pictures of my officemates during my OJT at RAMCAR. I am so grateful for being part of their company and especially for being part of the Business Systems Department for six weeks. I surely won't forget them and the memories they shared with me.

more pictures

To Sir Arvin, Sir Mike, Ma'am Monica, Cheryl, Ena, Salve, Levy, Ridvan, Eric, Marlowe, Mon, Simon, Boss Bam, Boss Gamie, Mark... Len and Tass... I wish I had taken all of you in one picture. But anyway, I will never forget you all. THANK YOU VERY MUCH! I MISS YOU!

Magazine Covers

2008-03-20T20:45:00.000-07:00

Did you ever have that fantasy of being a model and see yourself in a cover of a magazine? I bet. Me, too! *grins*

I just love this magazine. Cheenee, a close friend of mine, made this for me three years ago. She's an artist, yah know... She's got all the creative power. *proud* When I posted this in my friendster right after she gave me this, many were fooled. Haha! Could be a compliment, right? Haha! Oh well.. Thanks to Cheenee!

Wow... How's that? Haha! Bride? *lol* Don't be fooled! I was just a maid of honor. Gotcha! *winks* But this looks just fine, right? I didn't design this, of course! I just got into this website where you can upload a picture and then choose a design for your magazine cover. It's just as easy as that! You can choose from many fake magazine covers out there! Just for fun!

So.. Do you want to see yourself in a magazine cover? Visit MAGMYPIC.com right now and feed your fantasy! ^_^

Be a potential model! *grins*

One Tree Hill - Soundtrack

2008-03-18T17:30:00.000-07:00

"The First Cut Is The Deepest"

I would have given you all of my heart
But there's someone who's torn it apart
And he's taken just all that I have
But if you want I'll try to love again
Baby, I'll try to love again, but I know...

The first cut is the deepest
Baby I know
The first cut is the deepest
But when it comes to bein' lucky, he's cursed
When it comes to lovin' me, he's worst...

I still want you by my side
Just to help me dry the tears that I've cried
And I'm sure gonna give you a try
If you want I'll try to love again, (try)
Baby, I'll try to love again, but I know...

OOHHH,
The first cut is the deepest
Baby I know
The first cut is the deepest
But when it comes to bein' lucky, he's cursed
But when it comes to lovin' me, he's worst...

I still want you by my side
Just to help me dry the tears that I've cried
But I'm sure gonna give you a try
Cuz if you want I'll try to love again
(Try to love again, try to love again)
Baby, I'll try to love again but I know, OOHHH....

The first cut is the deepest
Baby I know
The first cut is the deepest
When it comes to bein' lucky, he's cursed
When it comes to lovin' me, he's worst

OOHHH, the first cut is the deepest
Baby I know (baby I know)
The first cut is the deepest
Try to love again...

lyrics from www.azlyrics.com

*****

When this song was released some years ago, I liked it without knowing the reason why. I didn't even try to understand what the song means. And then the song didn't linger to my mind any longer that it just slipped out my mind. But when I watched the first season of One Tree Hill, I was reminded of the song. It was then that I tried to listen to the words as Sheryl Crow sang on one episode. Then it hit me. Bullseye! Oh well.. Let's say I can sort of, relate to this song. You know.. that feeling of being hurt over and over again that you start feeling so numb and then your heart is now afraid to give a chance to anyone who comes after a heartbreak... I don't even know which cut is the deepest. There are just too many cuts and scratches. I can hardly remember the first. That's what you get when you easily fall for a crap, when you are so damn sensitive. But my point is: A cut is a cut, may it be deep or shallow. Surely it changes things, even if being unfair is part of it, unfair to the one who helps you recover from the past.

To Whom It May Concern:

I still want you by my side ... maybe i'll try to love again.

after one month...

2008-03-17T12:00:00.000-07:00

whew! t'was a month ago since my last post.. i've been busy with the projects and final exams. but now i'm finally through with 'em! Thank God!!!

Nowadays, I'm actually quite busy with my applications for an OJT. I'm still looking for a company in Manila to work at. I've tried Accenture, HP, IBM, Lawson Software... These are big international IT companies and it just makes me nervous! Will I be accepted by any one of these companies? I hope so.. or else, I'd end up working at Smart, which is okay but... *grins*

Oh well... I'd just have to wait. I am so excited to go to Manila and be with my sister and of course, go to malls. I just love it there! And.. I'm kinda excited for my OJT but I'm nervous. Let's just see where God wants me to be...

Maybe I'll update you about my OJT: who gets to accept me and who won't *ouch*

Oh my.. my blog is just sooooo boring. Punish me!

Chimay the Puppy

2008-02-21T23:00:00.000-08:00

Just last night, a friend of mine gave me a cute female "askal" puppy. I named her "Chimay"... why? I dunno exactly. I just find the name cute. Oh well... I promised my friend that i'll really take care of the puppy. He even reminded me that the pup loves to drink lots of water. haha! okay... so.. this day, i played with her. She's very playful! She's just so energetic to run around the lawn. And oh, she loves to bite! hahaha! Cute one! We really had a good time playing around... But then.. everything between us has to end. *pouts*

When my father found out that the pup's a female, he told me to give it away. Sad. Oh well, he has a point. Taking care of a female dog is hard coz when their breeding season comes, all the male dogs from the neighborhood will surely come and disturb us. So, i decided to give her to another friend of mine who's willing to take care of her instead. She'll be getting Chimay tomorrow morning. And I won't be here by the time she leaves home. huhuhu.. so sad. =( really sad =(

Oh well.. i really have to let go of Chimay. I know she'll be in good hands. *sighs*

Goodbye, Chimay! =(

Alive

2008-02-20T22:45:00.000-08:00

I am still alive! Believe me. *laughs* oh well.. i've been so busy these past few weeks that I barely had time to update my blog. I am so sorry if my page has been the same everytime you checked it out. My apologies...

So, wanna know what's up with me? Let me share a few...

I have been trying to earn money online. Well, i'm just a beginner. Aside from Google AdSense, I also signed up for Bidvertiser, SlashMySearch, and Bux.To (i just found out it's a scam, so beware!)... so far, I'm earning more in SlashMySearch with $15. With Google Adsense, I only have $4.32 and $1.37 in Bidvertiser. Well it's okay. It's my fault. I know I have to keep my blog updated but I failed to do so.. But still, I'm trying.

Uhmm.. I've been eating a lot lately. Appetite's up, huh? Oh well.. I don't wanna pressure myself anymore to have a diet. I'm tired. Maybe i'll just take it slow. I'm trying.

Lastly, I want to share my worries... I'm worried bout the upcoming final exam week. oh no!!! I'm worried bout the projects, the requirements, the OJT! arrgghh!! There's a lot to think and get worried about! huhuhu... I need someone to convince me to wake up and start being serious! sheesh! Inspiration, where are you?

Well anyway... I'm planning to post some things here... I have some things in my mind that i need to post.. maybe next time. I will. ^-^ Keep posted!

2008-01-23T21:15:00.000-08:00

Do you know Inday? When you hear her name, what comes into your mind? Wanna know what comes into mine?

Inday is very well known in the Unlitext world. She's just a helper, a maid. But what makes her so famous? Her unique words. Ofcourse, who will ever forget her language? A language that causes our nose to bleed? She's just too damn intelligent for a maid... She has so many funny stories (including her rivalry with Ederlyn in winning Dodong's heart) that really made the texters anticipate what happens next to her life. We all love Inday, don't we?

But... do you know that Inday is from Iligan City, Misamis Oriental? Yes... she's a BISDAK (Bisayang Dako)! And Inday is just getting better and better. FYI, she has a blog! Oh yes! You read that right. My brother gave me the link just last night and i was oh so surprised! Inday? Blogging? Cool!

Now you're curious :p

So guys, visit Blog ni Inday now and read her posts there. I'm sure you'll be having fun laughing your ass out while reading her hilarious posts. Hahaha! Enjoy! :p

a song to die for

2008-01-19T21:50:00.000-08:00

Your Guardian Angel
by The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus

When I see your smile
Tears run down my face I can't replace
And now that I'm strong I have figured out
How this world turns cold
and it breaks through my soul
And I know I'll find deep inside me I can be the one

I will never let you fall
I'll stand up with you forever
I'll be there for you through it all
Even if saving you sends me to heaven

It's okay. It's okay. It's okay.
Seasons are changing
And waves are crashing
And stars are falling all for us
Days grow longer and nights grow shorter
I can show you I'll be the one

I will never let you fall
I'll stand up with you forever
I'll be there for you through it all
Even if saving you sends me to heaven

Cuz you're my, you're my, my,
My true love, my whole heart
Please don't throw that away
Cuz I'm here for you
Please don't walk away and
Please tell me you'll stay, stay

Use me as you will
Pull my strings just for a thrill
And I know I'll be okay
Though my skies are turning gray

I will never let you fall
I'll stand up with you forever
I'll be there for you through it all
Even if saving you sends me to heaven

a friend of mine introduced this song to me and when i heard it for the first time, i felt like crying. emo!!! or whatever... this song only has its own unexplainable way of touching my heart...

OFFICIAL BLOG LAUNCHING

2008-01-12T20:00:00.000-08:00

After the long hours of editing, I finally finished designing my blogspot. And what pushed me to make this site? Money. Ooopss... Not really *nose gets longer* ... Well, yeah. I am making this blog to earn money through Google AdSense where one earns money with every click of the visitors on the ad links found on one's site (see the right side of this page). It's the "in" thing nowadays so I might as well give it a shot, hoping it works. *prays*

As I type, I begin to realize that maybe I should learn to love this blog from now on. I can make use of this blog aside for money. I can use this as my... diary? No. Not necessarily a diary... just something where I can post anything I want when I want to. Wouldn't that be great?! *bats eyelashes*

But hey, can you promise to drop by and give some time reading my posts (and of course, click on the Google ad links *pleads*)? Yehey! Thanks! *winks* Don't worry, I promise to keep this blog as updated as possible. *swears to God*

I guess this is all for now. Enjoy reading my posts (and clicking on the Google ad links)! ^-^

Oh wait!!!

I NOW OFFICIALLY LAUNCH MY BLOG. LOL
