The Second Realm

Ogtong Cave Resort

2010-04-21T07:49:00.000-07:00

I really had a great time with the resort though we only came there just in one day. Perhaps it was even half the day because I really just planned to take photos. Oh well, I admit I really did plan to really look at the beach resort. *wink*

> Way to Ogtong Cave.

> This is their main entrance..

> Reception area- One thing too, I like their staffs. I can't actually help but smile them back. :)

* * * *

What does it look like? It’s kinda rather full of grassy lawns and that’s what makes it even nicer because you could eventually sit with it despite their pretty chairs and patio furniture. The way it was landscaped is real eye-catchy plus the swimming pool which is basically from their cave’s fresh water spring.

The water inside the cave is real clean and so clear. You could go down at it in chest level. The maximum people to fit there would be 40 though that would appear too crowded already. But that should not be a problem since when you go out there is that concrete walkways leading you to the pool.

As for their overlooking seashore, it’s pure haven. It took me a while to remain in this spot because the view is really spectacular. It is soothing in a way that you would also want to go down the beach if only it’s not too sunny. You could, of course, go down the beach if you want.

see what I mean? ;)

> I so much like their flowers.

Their villas are exclusive areas for honeymooners only so I've only taken the outside shots.

The Santa. Fe Beach Club in particular is just a perfect summer get-away destination.

An Idyllic Bantayan Island

2010-04-11T08:34:00.000-07:00

Yeah, I have been away from my blog for a week, I know. It’s warming up and I have enjoyed the white ground for this summer break. I was thinking that there is so much to blog from the week I’ve been away.

Bantayan Island, Cebu – A small Island here in the Philippines found in the northwest coast in mainland Cebu. You could say it’s slightly developed and not so over crowded except during tourists days. Like what my aunt told me that there were such lots of tourists last Easter days. It’s beautiful to see locals making their place even more wonderful to visit. There are farms to make as living. Others do their art craft out of shell like that woman I met at Sillon.

The place would be perfect especially if you are finding for peace and quite time to think and just to relax. Imagine sitting on a bench seeing skies painted in blue, smelling clean air, touching that white sand and of course their marvelous turquoise water. Oh man! The experience is so wonderful. We rode for sea tour to see the corals reaching the Virgin Island. They were really clear and beautiful. My skin gets tanned though. *grin*

Life here is relaxing. No shopping malls and discos. I saw one movie theater but not that big enough as compare to city life. Their plaza is nice and they have such an organized market place. Also, there are lodges to if you are planning for a trip. Sugar Beach Resort, Seaview Apartelle and Marlin Beach Resort were just a few I could name since I have relatives at Bantayan so I cannot able to go into detail for the pricing.

It so happen that people would usually get around the area using motorbikes. Whew! It took me an effort to ride one though that was for a short while. I didn’t really have the patient to learn it. Hehe. Well as for their main transportation to travel towards their market, you can go for motorized tricycles.

In their market they have crabs and scallops which are unbelievably cheaper that we were expecting.

Really, the place is sure worthy for a visit. It is all in all idyllic, unspoiled and indeed a paradise.

Pandanon's Best

2010-04-02T08:13:00.000-07:00

Just when I thought that I wouldn't want to visit blogger again, here I am serenely holding the keyboard for another blog post. Silly, but perhaps It's just that I have some photos to share. (^,^)

By the way, our school club went for an outing. I have been here in Pandanon's Valley Resort before but it makes a difference when you come back again with changes to the place. And one more thing, I already have a camera with me.

The river is really the one that would catch your attention since the pool is situated somewhat away from the main entrance. That means it needs a little walk.
(It's really cold, I swear. The kind of normal cold anyway not the freezing point. Hehe.)

Good thing about the water is because it's so pure and so clean you would even want to stay too long if only your body need not be warmed. Hmm, I think we have spent the whole afternoon with the water. Undeniably, my friends are just as excited as I was.

Above photo: swimming pool.
Right side : view from outside resort.
Left side: Hmm. We saw scattered signs when we're on our morning jog so we thought it would be nice to pose for a group photo. Lol.

We had such a good jog here.

You surely can't just help but to admire the nature.

One of the many things I enjoyed is feeding these fishes. We were able to talk with the resort's owner Atty. Espino when we were so busy watching these marvels swim. The management were really exceedingly warming and friendly.

The breakfast. It would depend really if you wanted to order from them or you cook your own food since they do have areas for cooking.

By the way, we spent a lot of group activities because there is really no signal there. I mean mobile signal. My cellphone has not been in use for almost two days. So if you are planning for a stay there, make sure you are free of business commitments.

* * * *

Indeed! Pandanon's Valley Resort is a place to do nothing.

desire to Photography

2010-01-30T10:41:00.000-08:00

I've been scanning so many notes about photography lately. I can remember how I first tried to have an entry in photojournalism. Huh! You know I was not really that sort of photographer who would dive into many ants just to get a coupe of nice shots. But eventually, as I go on the pace and beauty of photography, I just know I like it.

I have three shots here. As much as I would want to open these in photoshop before posting, I have no time to do so. =)

Painting from West Visayas University

Picture from our movie making project

aah! just so because I love yellow :-)

Quite obviously, I can only manage unmovable objects in which I could steady the camera myself. That's pretty easy, so I know I still I need further experience and study about the subject.

I remain hopeful to learning this. Or maybe just for today? *grin* . Naah.

Have a Blessed Week Pals

Liz's Christmas Banner

2009-12-21T19:18:00.000-08:00

I am such in a hurry but when I saw Liza's message, I then automatically grabbed it. Thanks sis ha? Really did appreciate it.
By the way, you did such a wonder to your room. Hehe, It looks elegantly neat.
Keep writing.. =)

And to Everyone, Advance Merry Christmas. Whew! I can't almost believe its near December 25.
3 days to go aye? Lagot! Bankrupt 'ata ang Christmas ko ah.

Please do grab it pals if you want. ;) Thanks Lizzy.

Of this and that

2009-12-20T01:09:00.000-08:00

Issue # 1 :

I am quite worried when I tried to search for my blog using other PC. It is because what I see isn't this. Ugh! I am sure as hell I typed the right domain. I am even wondering if it's just about the blogspot-thing now. But I am telling you pals this worries me. =( So I tried opening it again in other computer and yes,as much as I hate the idea, other page appears.

I can only see the blog when I would log-in to blogger but if not, I wouldn't be able to see it. But then again, I won't allow this to ruin my mood.

Issue # 2 :

I am certainly late about this Maguindanao massacre issue. The news took me off guard because the father of my friend was there. Yes, one of the victims. I'd rather not tell the name though.

What happened was, she texted me about it. I was really expressionless upon reading it so I tried to re-read the message. Nothing changes though. The burial happened there at Maguindanao. Haay I am trying to make things easier but it really wasn't. =(

The mere fact that she's a friend would serve its purpose of feeling the pain. I may not feel the kind of pain she's having but I am in pain too. For her and for her family. So I'd certainly not put salt to an open wound.

Issue # 3:

When was my last post eh? I seem to forget that I have to update this. So sorry really. I am most thankful still to someone who offers her/his time still visiting my blog. Algene, for one. Just so thoughtful of you. :) I seem eager always as to reading updates about you and Abdel. Hmmn.
And for all of my friends in blogosphere who keeps on clicking my Entrecards. Whew! Thanks. many thanks..

Issue # 4:

I will be adding new photos soon. I really have them all in my folder here that I still can't have that ample time to post them. sis Kath, I think I have collected some "yellow mellow"-something. Hehe.

Issue # 5:

I am sure I'll have a happy Christmas with my family. So I am all wishing you a Merry Christmas.

Day at Paraiso Beach

2009-12-11T03:30:00.000-08:00

I was thinking for the past days whether I should just leave this blog as it is. I seem to grew tired of updating this anyway thinking of the things I should have to prioritize first. After all, this is just a hobby. Something to ease me out when I have to share what's in the center of my mind. I got this job now for freelance writing. Whew! I should rather be thankful for someone who brought me with this job. I'll be starting Tuesday since we'll be having our exams still on Monday.

I am excited to Christmas . Really! Are you too?

Anyway, I would like to share to you some of the shots my group mates had taken when we had this movie making project. Haha! It's a competition ha! And to think my classmates won't give us an easy game will lengthen the agony of making this more nicer than needed. Familiar with Pinnacle? It's a video editing software we're using in school.

Here are the shots we've compiled. Some we're just for fun ride. =)

(My friend love this sight, so sige pagbigyan)

(He seemed to enjoy looking at the athletes practicing their routines. )

(Nyay! I know this is a bad shot. They just caught my interest.)

I was able to talk to the woman. It's her grand daughter she's carrying and her grandson in her side.

From left (Carnet, Hopie, Me and Tina)

Wish you'll have a blessed Christmas pals. Stay well =)

Bookworm Hunts

2009-11-14T06:16:00.000-08:00

I have been thinking of buying "Chicken Soup for the Soul" lately. Probably because a friend encouraged me well that he really had a good read with one issue. Or maybe because I was able to find e-book and read myself that one issue which took me straight hours of sitting in front of this laptop. Huh! You bet how my eyes hurt after that.

So the next day, I bettered myself to go to the National Book Store and find the price of one book. You should expect I brought my camera with me just to make sure I can share it with you. Of course! I had to think of posting something after those long days of absence here in blogosphere.

I went there with my friend Ludy who, inasmuch as bookworm as I am, filled her twilight saga's thirst. See? She was not even aware I'm taking photo of her reading.

Anyway, this is just a quick post. I really had a long day and I ought to take my rest at this time of hour.
Have a blessed Sunday everyone. :) I miss you all.

SAW 6

2009-10-28T06:18:00.000-07:00

Are you pals also a fan of this horror movie? Because if not, I definitely encourage you to see it or I might blab here for nothing. Although I may sound rude for airing that line, my apology is next. Hehe. It's after all great to let that brain cells in you move in analization .

The reason for this sudden post, of course, is because I thought I've been neglecting you too much. Am I abusing your visit pals? You click the page, you leave me comment, say little hey i-kissed-your-ads-pls-do-some-little-favor-to-kiss-mine lines and then you eventually get bored to click the page the next days or so because there aren't new post to read? Is that it? Haay I dare say I really am not a full time blogger. Probably not as I was dedicated as before. But I also know it won't suffice the reason coz most here do have lives to attend to. Yeah, just like 'you' who's now reading this.

Okay, there I go again with my egocentric side. Thank you for bothering still to check my post sometimes. I wish you'll never get tired of doing such. Oh! what a wish. =)

-----

Apart from missing the blogosphere, I told myself to say something about this sixth of SAW. Before I downloaded the video, I did research of what might be the content. I watch the trailer. Haha, sounds funny but I was really expecting Dr. Gordon to be there.

The complication was, the box was meant for Detective Hoffman to set the game after Jigsaw's death yet I don't get the purpose of that two characters in the beginning of the story. The black-american (well, I presume that she was) girl survived the game and lost her left arm. Where is she connected to?

And Jill ended up killing Hoffman too? Darn! In the very start she hated how her husband maneuvered the game of killing and she resorted to committing it herself? I am starting to think that the whole 'LIVE or DIE' lines will no longer be there since they almost were dead.

Will there still be part 7? The worst is maybe it'll reach to 50. Hahaha.

-----

Bye for now pals. I am wishing you a lovely week . =) Ki O Tsukete.

77

2009-10-05T05:50:00.000-07:00

I told my friend to make this post. Not because I owe it to her but because I need to ease this so down feeling I have now. You wonder why '77' is the title? Well, I don't think I can bare to tell that now. I mean in this paragraph.

Ssh. I know this is again another narcissist post. To think it's too selfish of me to be this personal again with my post. To be this childish again to think of just my own side of story. But can someone prohibit me? I think the answer would be NO. In which to remind myself, NO is the name of the virus that is inside my flash drive now. Okay, completely no sense at all. So before I bore you totaly, here's seventy-seven surging my heart.

I am not sure if one of my teachers constantly reads my blog. Because if they do, I'll spare telling what this '77' means. Now am I making it obvious? Yeah, I would have to tell you anyway.

I got my midterm grades just this day in our last period class. It was better because if that was scheduled early, it could have ruin my entire class focus. You get me now? Yes, I got 77. That's 2.6 for the natural grading that we have in our school. I am not proud for that. Who would be? But to tell you the truth, I was able to show my paper to my classmates to let them know that I am not joking. Huh! Can't I fail your expectation ?

Now I did!

Final Term is yet to come. Wish to get over with this soon. =0

Missing Everyone

2009-10-04T02:18:00.000-07:00

It's ironic to be happy when the very center I had in my mind now are school works. As obviously, I'm starting to sound cathartic. I miss the blogosphere so much that I decided to add another helluva article. Ain't it?

I already told myself not be this egotist and yet I continued to. Yes, it's hard to teach old dogs new tricks. And funny it may be to line myself as the 'old dog' in that sentence, I honestly care no more. I think I'm just too preoccupied for this exam week. I wanted to study everything down yet I'm always trap to prioritize the much needed one. The one in which I'm near to failing. My gowd! Who would have thought of 'Law of Obligation and Contracts' to be this brain squezzing? You have 90 items exam and an instruction to answer only 50. I happen to answer everything. Not because I'm smart but because I studied. And to think the instruction confuse me adds more noise of worry to my so quite world. I answered everything and so I have minus 40 for the over all score.

Darn! that was too much!

But hey, midterm is midterm. Final goes the other way. I still have days to study my lessons and get over that down feeling.

Anyway pals, I miss you. Really. Sorry for not posting too long. I have actually here on my drafts during our WIWAG seminar after that Peer Facilitators Society workshop but I ain't have photos yet to include with. I have also attended this OSSEI in Baguio just last September 23, if my memory serves me right. That means I still have photos to post. Naah! not today though. I'm just busy to do that now.

Again, my apologies.

To share something, I opened my facebook account and encoded this as day profile shoutout - Gi-Ann baked her first ever waffle. And she said " I waffle the wrong one now, I'll waffle the right one next baking time. " Spillover confident huh. Okay, I talked too much again. Too much that I even not bother to open my Visual Basic accounting system. The deadline's tomorrow. And yes, I'm dead. =)

Before that eventually happens, I will have to end this post and finish the trial balance.

♥ Godbless everyone, I miss you all. ♥
Please do take care.

Camp Gerona

2009-08-29T06:57:00.000-07:00

Our school's Peer Facilitator Society (Formerly called Peer Counselor Society) organized a seminar-workshop for the member of the club. Since I was not able to tell you pals that I am just a new member of the organization, might as well start telling you that indeed I am.

To the least of my expectation, I was overwhelmed with the kind of environment the seminar had. Everything is just so peaceful. And because I've been so bad of not updating this realm, I am now sharing you pictures. Yey, thanks for aze-chan. She was able to bring the digicam.

This is situated in front of the room we slept. Looks so refreshing, really.

A couple of walk. There are great stones there. When I say great, that means 'nice'. I hope I'm not confusing you. ;)

Just getting on the lens of the cam.

Anyway, this place is at Camp Gerona, Murcia. We were warmly welcomed by real armies huh! And I was amazed to hear them joking after the place their into.

"Yan! Puro bala laman nyan ah." Sabay turo ng sementong bahay. (Para namang bahay sya para saking eh.) :D

"Pag yan tinapunan nyo ng apoy, naku talagang sasabog yan. Tignan natin kung makakauwi pa kayong di sugatan. Sabay talaga tayong sasabog dito." Nakangising wika ng isa sa kanila.

They must be human after all to crack a joke. haha. You think them too serious at times when they started mentioning the rules. Those lights off at ten and not-getting-into-that-place line. Well, they were nice people. At least that's how I, as of that moment, see them.

I don't actually know what this is. Perhaps a vegetable or some sort of an odd flower. Just that my interest falls for the color.

They're real sheep. I would have wanted to share you more shots of them. But I think this will do.

Ms.Chloe, Guidance Counselor, on the board.

Group picture here. See that canon?

Busy sleeping noh? Now that's the shot I like. haha.

Yes, this is it for now

2009-08-21T07:52:00.000-07:00

My apologies for not attending my page for almost weeks. August 7 was my last entry and yes I hefta admit it seems too long. I appreciate everyone who left their comments in my cbox and still manage for the comment page itself.

For someone who've been long reading my posts, which I am so grateful that 'till now they kept on bearing my absences (hehe hope I won't get use with the idea... mind you pals, I am proud to say I got the best readers in this world and that's more than enough for me.), you would probably know I have school stuffs to attend first. Woosh! that doesn't make you least of my prerogative ah. Neways, I would have to tell you though my surprise when I first read this Arvin U. Dela Pena aka Farrah ng cbox ko! from PinkNote's blog.

What took me by surprise was that because it leads to the post of other bloggers. Count that Para Sayo Arvin by LordCM, Magmumuslim Ako by Jen, Makatang Blogero by Chikletz, Hindi Maganda ang Blog Ko by Memoirs, Huli Ka Sir by Pablong Pabling, Tae naman! by Kronchops, Walang Pamagat by MindDeth and the Hoy Arvin by Patola.

They were something into conflict, really. I just don't point any accusing finger though. I don't, after all, know what really did happen. I just wish peace to you all who's been attached with this issue. You have gain your light after that, I should say. ;)

* * * *

Since I am making personal post again, might as well include this long unforgotten award from sis Nancy. It makes me smile now remembering it. Yay! It looks so cute you wouldn't even believe you can have this after wards. Haha.

Yes! another one. This time it's The Adorable Blog award. I am touched by this because seldom can a blogger find a blog that's really worth read and to have this award is just ..." oh! was it really addressed to The Second Realm? " ;0 And then I have that sheepish smile. (Patatagalin ko ba o grab ko na? ) I did grabbed and well, saved it in my folder. Thanks sis ah, for always been this kind to me. Also to everyone else who are my dearest sisters in blogosphere. Y'know who you are. :)

Passing these two awards to :

---

Bompertz Schizotopia (I think though di ko masasabi yung sa Loyal since you haven't had the chance to visit mine. :( I'm making sad face uh. But yes! pls do grab that Adorable.)

* * * *

I am excited we'll be going to Minoyan, Murcia tomorrow for our Peer Counselor Society Workshop. I will hopefully post whatever our workshop will be. :D

God Bless you everyone.
As always, I am wishing you a great week. ♥

"Maraming Salamat, President Cory"

2009-08-04T22:05:00.000-07:00

Then I heard a voice from heaven say, "Write: Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on." "Yes," says the Spirit, "they will rest from their labor, for their deeds will follow them."

Revelation 14

~ ~ ~ ~ ~

I know I owe to make this post to an icon.

Corazon "Cory" Sumulong Cojuangco Aquino, former Philippine president, dies at 76 dated August 1, 2009. She was diagnosed having colon cancer. A news that her chemotherapy shows positive response should have been a good sign. But isn't it that her doctors, in the first place, informed her family that she had only 3 months to live?

We Filipinos know she'd been to so much the complication with her health when news first appeared that she's undergoing the chemo. We thereby,together with Lola Cory's family, hope for her survival. Prayers were given and so was the hope. But perhaps for everything there is a season. A time to be born, and a time to die;A time to weep, and a time to laugh;A time to mourn, and a time to dance;A time to embrace, And a time to refrain from embracing; (Ecclesiastes 3:1-8)

Now, as I see the television news of her burial, I can't keep but thinking the good thing "this" person had offered us. And I wanted to thank her for that.

Maraming Salamat, President Cory

You are a true hero.

Satanism - my center of talk

2009-07-24T22:38:00.000-07:00

I haven't got this slightest hint of interest before about this satanism stuff. I believe in the first place that they practice sort of witchcraft laws. That, in which, I detest to believe. Try to picture that wild signs, satanic (they actually write it in capital 'S')underground places for their worship, satanic bible in match for the satanic church and their own literature.

Isn't that society the outspoken enemies of human beings? Us Christians?

The notion of this post, in truth, is for me to share what 'really' is going on. As to why we have central views of religions.
I started this curiosity from our teacher in sociology who, in her deepest belief of Jesus Christ-the son of God, shared her broad ideas regarding historical events and the appearances of God in the gospel. To go straightly, our discussion may be considered as an eye-opener to those who listens and not to those who don't.

In the need to further her knowledge, she once mention about the study of satanism. And oh! the scope leads to many questions in my head. I felt I was not answered as to how I wanted clarifications to be. So to nurse my own need for answers, I gathered facts prior to what she claims the deception of some religious organization.

Did you even know that Luciferianism,Theistic Satanism,Symbolic Satanism and Atheistic/Deistic Satanism do exist? I mean that each of type are also a believer of their god in way far from us. They worship and admire Satan and they have their point of sacrilege too. I consider them above the norm. Well, even themselves says they think TOO different .

Anton Szandor LaVey. He was, anyway, the author of the Satanic Bible.

In their official site of The Church Of Satan , it was mention that Satanist are their own Gods, the explorers of the Left-Hand Path. They do not bow down before the myths and fictions of the desiccated spiritual followers of the Right-Hand Path.

Even from LaVey's "Nine Satanic Statements" stated that :
Satan represents all of the so-called sins, as they all lead to physical, mental, or emotional gratification!

Haven't you observed that this had put Satan on a more favorable light?

'Retourner'

2009-07-11T23:24:00.000-07:00

retourner - to go back.

Excuse my french tongue for now. The reason to title this as Retourner is because of the tag since last June 17.

-- -- --

It's raining hard. ' Don't even know when will this stop. I've been too away from blogging for a week. Count this as quick post. Well, I seem to get use with it since the day of school starts. So you see? Plus, to even think that I would first blog hop before logging in to blogger is taking me more time. "Are you like that too?" I mean, opening others' blog before yours?
Haha. =D

For one, I think the idea is just appealing to me. Sometimes I do open mine first only to check the chat box and then click the link for those who commented. Though I don't have so much free time to do that now, it still comes as a good perspective to do when I have.

Anyway, I just finished watching Transformers today. I am late I know, I just had the time. My classmates talked about that last week and here's myself listening. Of course, I only had to listen. What other option do you think I have? :C (Maybe, la nalang talaga ako maisip at that moment than to listen)

Before I forget, Just want to thank sis Kero for this award :

I love your blog in French.

It's so lovely with stamp design.(I'm fanatic to stamps kasi) I'm really grateful sis.
Passing this to :

Algene , Alyssa , Angel , Grace , Glenda , Heart , Khaye , Meryl , Sweetham , nancy , Pink Note

Wish everything's doing well with all of you.
Enjoy the rest of the week everyone!

Two more ---> Tags

2009-07-04T00:58:00.000-07:00

Sorry fellas, I just can't think of a better post today. My mind wanders away in which even a novel this Saturday doesn't offer me a nice thought. Arrrghh! To simply ease my thinking of nonsense, I enjoyed myself posting tags from my friends in blogger. Two are the Jungle test and the What's your 1950's name.

The Jungle Test .
Grabbed this from sis Nancy .

You Are Dramatic

You are colorful and charismatic. You get and hold people's attention.

Right now, you are seeking peace and tranquility in your life.

You are drawn to people who are innocent and pure of heart.

You feel like there are a few minor things in your life that need to be changed.

You take time before you react. You allow yourself to explore your options.

You may take the test here.

What's Your 1950s Name?

Tag from Glenda.

My 1950 name is :

Janie Renee

My comment?
Amf.Sounds a little weird huh.And little cutie. =)Isn't that completely away from my real name?..hmmmn.

You may take the test here.

Personality Test

2009-07-04T00:06:00.000-07:00

I visited some of the blogs I can remember today. Wala lang! Maybe because I need to find things to entertain me. Also, I miss the blogging world and hey! that includes you. ;)

What caught my interest is to try this Personality Test Glenda tagged. I have tried personality quizzes before and for some certain value, I like it everytime I see results. I believe it makes me know myself more whether that would be the bad side or the good side of me.

Maybe this is not real. Maybe yes... But without the hint of doubt, I still want to post the results for you to compare with what yours are.

Taraaan ....

Your view on yourself:

You are intelligent, honest and sweet. You are friendly to everybody and don't like conflict. Because you're so cheerful and fun people are naturally attracted to you and like to talk to you.

The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:

You are a true romantic. When you are in love, you will do anything and everything to keep your love true.

Your readiness to commit to a relationship:

You are ready to commit as soon as you meet the right person. And you believe you will pretty much know as soon as you might that person.

The seriousness of your love:

You like to flirt and behave seductively. The opposite sex finds this very attractive, and that's why you'll always have admirers hanging off your arms. But how serious are you about choosing someone to be in a relationship with?

Your views on education

You may not like to study but you have many practical ideas. You listen to your own instincts and tend to follow your heart, so you will probably end up with an unusual job.

The right job for you:

You have plenty of dream jobs but have little chance of doing any of them if you don't focus on something in particular. You need to choose something and go for it to be happy and achieve success.

How do you view success:

You are afraid of failure and scared to have a go at the career you would like to have in case you don't succeed. Don't give up when you haven't yet even started! Be courageous.

What are you most afraid of:

You are afraid of having no one to rely on in times of trouble. You don't ever want to be unable to take care of yourself. Independence is important to you.

Who is your true self:

You are full of energy and confidence. You are unpredictable, with moods changing as quickly as an ocean. You might occasionally be calm and still, but never for long.

I'm tagging all of you. So I hope you'll try taking the test too!
;)

Thanks Jel!

A bit of...

2009-06-28T03:54:00.001-07:00

I'm having blogger problem now. It keeps saying connection interrupted. Maybe because of the rain. Probably that affects the speed of the internet ?

Anyway, this one's a quick post. A bit of hurry because, for some reason, I hated how the internet works now. I am keeping the life still of my second realm. I read some of my favorite blogs today, I can't just visit blogger without reading their new post. ;)

I wanted to thank Chorva for this tag. I'm still looking for the nine dolphins. Haha.

I appreciate it. Really :) I should have posted this before but as you can obviously see, my time is very limited now to blogging. That's too bad! You sure have noticed the few post I can make in a week. Count that to one or two.

Meaning that's only a bit of what is needed for a blogger. :( Thanks ha? for this :

------> Have a great Monday everyone ;) Miss you all.

M.Jackson's death

2009-06-26T07:44:00.000-07:00

Another school week passed. How are you pals? I had my story to share as you have yours. Friday(our school's "Freshmen Day") proved tiring and yet enjoyable. We welcome freshmen through initiation and shows.

And because I have things on my head, Michael Jackson's sudden death offers me a speechless stare when someone ask me if I know something about it.

Shame on me. :(

Speaking again about my week's absence noh? I'm getting used with the kind of schedule my posts are having since the day I silenced my blogging mode. I now have school works to keep myself busy with. Same as others' office works. See? The reasons were not too lame after all of why I have not known about the King of Pop's death. I am not a great fan of him yet the lost of such a great entertainer is a toil .

The fact is, I see him in a different light. Perhaps you could say the lighter one. I believe he do have a really nice place in pop.

I have a question regarding his death. Was he indeed in financial trouble? I read in SodaHead that Jackson before was diagnosed with skin cancer which resulted to the cancellation of his 50 concerts.

P.S.------------> Have a great day again to all!

I'm back!

2009-06-19T04:11:00.000-07:00

Wow! It's really great to be back. Feels like I have been away for too long here. I haven't been keeping up with my blog as much as I would like to. Sorry pals, my finding of ways for blogging faced a choice over my other workloads. I tell you, I had just a glimpse with the television shows. Last Monday starts out okay but the next days proved a little more tiring.

Oh have I told you that I now have evening classes? Yes, I do, which is difficult because I'll be wrapped with cold on my way home. I see my other classmates didn't have much of the difficulties since their boarding houses were a few steps away from school.

I have to say though, that I enjoyed seeing my friends again. They're fantastic as always. The new teachers were fine. I guess I should be thankful that I can seem to catch up faster with Math now. I bet because our teacher have this attitude of making us learn it step by step. Well, I admit, there is still the fear in me with the subject. I sometimes wonder what sort of being am I to feel it. Arggh. The test of my patience always comes out with it. And because I wanted the fear to subside, I have to study much more than what others needed.

Clueless.

Anyway, I think I could tell you that we (BS Information Systems III) had a bunch of new classmates. They're from the Associates before and decided to proceed the course. Also, we had entrepreneurs and one from BSBA in our Finance subject.

Nah. I really did blab now. Are you still with me? Eeeeey. I no longer think of taking the stop for talking about the kind of week I had. I guess I just miss you folks. And I wanted to thank you my fellow blogger for visiting my page, for the greetings, for your comments (I find them really valuable) and the awards despite my absence. I'll be posting the awards too, just a delay. Okay? *Wink*

As it turns out, I have this thinking that maybe my blogging days will now have it's limitations. I find the idea hard to swallow. =(

I hope you're having a great weekend. I sure did miss the blogging world.

My summer days goodbye

2009-06-14T04:52:00.000-07:00

Still not able to post much lately. I had this feeling that my days ahead will be busier than today. For the life of me, I simply know I'll be having my list of complaints and stresses. I am quietly thrilled though that I'll be seeing my friends and classmates again after months of no class. You know the reason. Summer. We all run for our own hide-outs.

I have nothing against the kind of summer I had this 2009. All seemed to just go well with little interruptions. Mention the neighborhood's almost day-to-day sing-along. I hated that and still am hating it. Grrrr. They are new neighbors actually and it happens to be the 'lucky' us who'll have to bear their singing habit. Am I supposed to be honest? Oh All right... It's not just 'singing habit', it is 'bad singing habit'. I am not impressed with the noise they're making. How can that be music? Well, that's nuts to applaud them in any way. The only choice present (until now duh!) is to let them sing. My back brain kept telling me that there are lots of good things in life to think than hating their 'noise'.

My summer days will end already. How was it, you ask? Nothing really remarkable but something I can say a good one. I spent my vacation at home , a place I'll never tire of.

See? And have I mention little interruptions there? I'm re-thinking it after all. It is obvious I'm almost at the end of my patience. At least, I did have my summer rest. I wish I had an eye-shore summer. But like food servings, you can't always have the dessert you wanted. Maybe too much of a good thing.

I am coming to a new chapter. Third year college life. How's that for a cheers? Hehe. I know I'll be amaze to think how easy it is to get used to things I've been away lately. Studies. Tomorrow is a new day. For me and for you too!

Oh before I forget, Have a great weekend.

Celebrate your ocean!

2009-06-08T05:49:00.000-07:00

This years theme : " One ocean, One climate, One future. "

Celebrate your ocean connection! Today is world's ocean day. And just why should you celebrate?

The Ocean Project stated the following reasons that the world's ocean: (I think you're aware of this)

1.Generates most of the oxygen we breathe
2.Helps feed us
3.Regulates our climate
4.Cleans the water we drink
5.Offers us a pharmacopoeia of potential medicines
6.Provides limitless inspiration!

I find that reasonable enough. Each one of us have our own personal connection to the sea. I myself love it. You don't need to live near the sea to appreciate it's majestic beauty. It affects our lives no matter how we take for granted that it does.

Try to think the beautiful ocean creations and its habitats, the outdoor fun and events you experienced in the ocean. Say swimming, sand sculptures, sail races, tours or even a mere picnic with your friends and family with ocean breeze. Questions like: What more could be nicer than a nature trip near coastal area? Why will people choose beach for their vacation? for their birthdays? for weddings? Why is surfing such a lovely sport to play? Why paint an ocean related canvas? Why would you even enjoy dolphin shows?... I think these questions were mere issue of interest. ;) Yet, certain passion for the sea is within you. After all, we are living in a planet where 3/4 of it's surface is covered by seas and oceans.

Threats to ocean are increasing. It also needs aquatic security and underwater clean-up to some polluted areas. Do your part for ocean conservation.

Commit to making a real difference!

Back Paintings?

2009-06-06T00:36:00.000-07:00

Do you like painting? Have you had an eye for it? If yes, this one's for you.

This is such a beautiful creation. I have seen this days ago and I just have the time to let you see this too. Culture span, right? You might conclude that as body painting also but who could judge it best but the painter and the critic? To share, my brother had a laugh time for their asses. (No Comment).No, don't tell me you're sharing the same devilish thought.

True, art is wonderful. It draws you to a realm. The main purpose of which, I believe, is communication. You interpret and there goes the ideas. Seen some political protests? Some people have to paint their bodies with words they wanted to convey. If not words, there's the color itself. I remembered that group called PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) who wears M&M body paint against Mar's animal experiments. Wooh! That attracts attention.

I love art. And body painting is not an exception. In fact, I had wish to go to Seeboden to watch World Bodypainting Festival someday. I think it's somewhere in Austria? They were celebrating it every third week of July since 1998. And come to think of seeing artists compete in public? Awesome. You can see them transform a body into a scenery. Or maybe not at all if they'll be hiding the nude body model in a tent. Just the outcome canvas,Okay.

I would like to share also some of which I like :

Do tell me your interpretation(s) regarding that back painting. There's a story behind it. ;)

'BEAR' with me

2009-06-05T02:10:00.000-07:00

I am not disappearing, not much. I haven't forgotten how to blog after days without doing it. Or at least, I still know how to open the blogger page.

*grin*.

You might want to hear valid reasons like "my computer crashed a few days and look.. everything have changed." That includes your template change eh? Actually nothing went wrong regarding the hardware. Only things about splitting one road, pushing myself through analytical thinking, compromising myself without the experience, enjoying the unpredictable and ooh! are you still with me? tsk tsk tsk I went beyond normal again.

I understand I blab too much. Apologies for this mouth.

Back to normality, just a change of template now. I like that blue one before BUT (there it goes, as expected) something was odd. So I decided for a change. And my dear friends, I know the favor of pink is for females. I am striking a balance with the neatness anyway. That's what I've been trying to avoid . I like other people who could stay in one template for the rest of their blogging life. But what can I do? I wanted always the room for improvement. Maybe there's just no other key for another rooms. :) I read it somewhere and I can't remember where :

LIFE is all about taking risks and pushing yourself to the maximum limit.

Believe it? Maybe if you do, you also need constant entertainment in your life. To help you push for more.

I have been busy lately. I can't spend the more of my time in blogging. Yes, I felt left-out for a day of absent. Like everyday should be a piece of cake to find topic to blog. Not a mere topic huh? Everyone writes, but only few makes a constant writer to a reader. Seldom one can inspire.

You? Do you think you're on your right track ?

Back to school...Again.

2009-06-01T03:52:00.000-07:00

I am quite feeling excited for June 8. Why? Because it's gonna be school days again. Although for weeks it'll probably be tiring. I'm sure there would be lots of stuff we'll be doing for the entire semester. Like everybody else.

My two younger brothers, in grade school and high school, had their classes today. Opposite to what I am expecting, they came home with no assignment from school. It's not that I am wishing them to have the assignment but because that's what I am used when I am on their stage. Based on my experience, teachers who gives too much homework during first class makes only an impression. An impression that will gradually slow down as days itself pass. If I am not sharing the same opinion with you, I understand. Lots of ideas on earth don't really coincide with what you believe things to be. There are really teachers who are that type, teachers who gives home works without a miss. And I consider them hardworking in the negative side.

Yeah, definitely. I don't like that typical of teachers. I have one before and yet I hate to admit it but it did helped me. The waking eyes and somehow inactive brain cells succumbed the lessons with little hesitation. And I just soon realized that I embracing myself with home works.

My point is, home works are good. Just not for the entire week. *laughs*

Pink Nuptial

2009-05-30T02:50:00.000-07:00

They say that YOUR wedding day is one of the most important occasions in your life. A memory that should last a lifetime. So definitely, you want to look best during that day. And that finding everything that you could think of "right" may not really be easy. Let us say right dress, right place, right photography, right food ... should I go on?

Well, just the usual dilemma for the bride and groom-to-be. You want really the exquisite detailing, won't you?

I just attended my friend's wedding. A pink theme nuptial.

Silly. You should have guessed since I make it as a title. LOL.

It was actually my err second time of attending a wedding. The first one was years of years ago. I couldn't remember the exact date. To think of, I was just a flower girl. Now it's my second time. Not as a flower girl ah! Neither the bride's maid. In any way, I was there. I came invited naman. The bride is my friend.

I read their invitation card. A part of that was :

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Thank you Oh Lord for binding our strong LOVE before the foundation of the world.
Thanks for being our shield and strength during the times of trials and challenges that comes in our lives.
Lord, we put our marriage into Your hands.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I was looking at them during the ceremony and I couldn't stop thinking of how my friend had come to that certain stage of her life. Maybe that reminds me of our fist meeting. I was silent for some little time because silence helps me contemplate. :) No contradictions huh? I heard my classmate, who's also at the wedding, saying "Daw sang san-o lang noh? ". That's in hiligaynon. In tagalog : "Parang kelan lang noh?".

Wheeew! There comes the trick of memory. I sighed with the thought. What overlaps with that silence was a question. "You know what the idea of wedding is ?"

Ans. : It's a splashing of money. Fair fact...*laughs*.

Okay. The funny side of my brain tried to talk again. Erase Erase erase. I was just happy for them both.

So, June's coming. The flower of Rose. And roses characterize love. Know what I mean by that ?

Flag Day

2009-05-28T07:12:00.000-07:00

I get too busy surfing the net killing time for that holistic .srt files. I did not even attempt to visit my blog 'cause I am so focused with learning new tricks. Cheats.. shortcuts for the downloading process.. blah blah blah. So okay, i end up watching youtube still with sarcasm that I don't understand a bit of the language I'm watching let alone for that subtitles. Maybe I haven't grilled enough of what I saw on Dvds.

Here I go.

It's Philippines Flag Day today. Know that? May 2-8. 11th Philippine National Flag Day.It was displayed in battle on May 28, 1898. My my my! I didn't sound that much Nationalistic now. Am I?

Well, it feels bad forgetting about it. =( Or rather, remembering LATE about it. If Doña Marcela Marino de Agoncillo would have been here at my side now (hehe,bad joke) she'll ***** me. I dunno the term.

Let me ask you this one thing :

Do you still memorize the Panunumpa ng Katapatan sa Watawat ?(The Pledge of Allegiance to the Philippine flag)

I saw it on television that people who's school days were history forgets also about the pledge.

Ako ay Pilipino

Buong katapatang nanunumpa

Sa watawat ng Pilipinas

At sa bansang kanyang sinasagisag

Na may dangal, katarungan at kalayaan

Na pinakikilos ng sambayanang

Maka-Diyos

Maka-tao

Makakalikasan at

Makabansa.

Good thing I recall it since we often do that during mondays. And to think that it's gonna be school days soon . . . dapat lang na maalala ko pa rin yan.

"For whoever loves the flag, loves our country "

Awards? For me?

2009-05-26T04:08:00.000-07:00

I have received two awards! How sweet. I will admit, I feel lucky to have thoughts of these bloggers when they were sharing names for awards. It never occurred to me to have this opportunity of having your attention. By merely knowing that someone reads my post is itself something I should be very thankful for. Self-congratulatory yata toh! Having this knowledge that somewhere in this net have recognized your existence, is also a cheers for champagne.

South Korea ex-president Roh committed suicide

2009-05-22T23:27:00.000-07:00

Former South Korean President Roh Moo-hyun .

The name may not sound familiar. I can't blame you. It did not in fact deliver the slightest hint of familiarity to me either. Only when I had my little check did I find out. He was actually the 16th President of S- Korea winning through the strong influence of Internet activists. If you happen to love something about political talks, your view will surely be challenged with this issue.

Politics isn't really my cup of tea, I know. But this first suicide by a modern South Korean leader would leave you wondering over why such a tragic? He died at the age of 62, such young age for me to be ended still, in the village of Bongha on Saturday (today) morning and jumped to his death while hiking in the mountains behind his rural southern home according to his lawyer. Imagine the scenarios? A man throwing himself off the mountainside rock ?

The cause?

He and his family were said to be trapped in the expansion of bribery scandal. And that accusations deeply shamed him. Line such as "I have no face to show to the people. I am sorry for disappointing you," justified the sentence. There was this brief suicide note for his family and yet Investigators have not seen it.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hard to believe noh? when he had apologized to the nation dated April 30, 2009. I can't imagine how much confusion his mind had before reaching the decision to end it ALL through suicide. 'Twas head injuries. Rushed to hospital at 8:15 a.m. and died 9:30 a.m. What did I do at that time? watching cartoons. Heck! You really never know what's happening around you unless you take the search.

It saddens me to know that some people have to go through that painful death. The conviction, judgment, rumors etc. everything of it makes it more hard for him maybe.

I'm not making any sense with this. Am I?

Who could not have known the existence of Guiness World Record? There's the issue regarding society, sports, transport, arts, technology and of course the human body.

I have not known the current record feat of this one. It supplies the answer merely through gazing. So if pictures are not enough, you might as well check their website at www.guinnessworldrecords.com/

Here are some of which that had caught my interest for searching :

WORLD'S MOST FLEXIBLE MAN

WORLD'S LONGEST NAILS

WORLD'S SHORTEST MAN

WORLD'S LONGEST LEG

WORLD'S TALLEST MAN

WORLD'S HEAVIEST MAN

WORLD'S TINNIEST WAIST

WORLD'S LONGEST BEARD

WORLD'S BIGGEST HAND & FINGER NAILS

They stand out, ain't they ? And some doesn't anymore look normal. I would have to ask you.

Do you still want to hold a record if this is the name of your game ?

Wacky Red Button: Press On !

That had made my day.
Makes funny of me though.
Tsk Tsk Tsk..

You're so special, Ma

2009-05-09T08:27:00.000-07:00

MOTHER - Ever wonder why is this person called that way?

1. Not just because she's your biological parent(if one may say so), she NURTURES you.

2.She never forgets to create MESS in the kitchen just to have your favorite menu.

3. Her way of WAKING you up on 6:00 am for school(LOL).

4. Best SERVANT for your giant laundry.

5. Makes as your real best HUG to share with.

6. She'll end her day with COLLAPSE body, smiling.

I have not actually listed everything that all moms would possibly do. The only extent of this post is for the celebration of the day. I can't even much sure 'mama' would care to read anything I'm writing here. But why am I posting this still? The reason is simple. I love my mom too! just like any child would do.

Isn't it that a child would change a world to mom? Well, moms too are special in their child.
Think this one's just in time for mother's day. I'm making this post for mama and for all the moms out there. There's just nothing left to say. Happy Mother's Day!

Nodame Cantabile

2009-05-05T08:08:00.000-07:00

The Nodame Cantabile is now airing the GMA Network Philippines. It is still an ongoing manga(at chapter 129 )as of April 21, 2009 written by Ninomiya Tomoko. In manga series, it was categorized as comedy, music and romance. Lovely isn't it? And though some may say that the dubbing of GMA murdered the characters, I would care no less because I am doing an early research of the series.

Main characters are both two aspiring musicians : Megumi "Nodame" Noda and Shinichi Chiaki.

The son of a famous pianist, music student Shinichi Chiaki dreams of studying abroad and becoming a conductor like his mentor. Unfortunately, his fear of flying grounds his lofty plans! As he watches other classmates achieve what he has always wanted, Shinichi wonders if he should quit music altogether.

Then one day he meets fellow student Megumi Noda, also known as Nodame. This oddball girl cannot cook, clean, or even read a music score, but she can play the piano in incomparable Cantabile style. And she teaches Chiaki something that he has forgotten: to enjoy his music, no matter where he is.

Yes, believe it so that despite what this day had brought to me, I was still able to find something that had made me happy. Classical music had been my all time favorite ever since. Not that my music mode doesn't change but because music makes something good when I listen to it. And that what makes this series special to me.

And I love so much that Symphony No. 7 in A major by Beethoven which (aah!) Nodame plays so well by heart.

S-OKE! Bravo ;)

Mind Dismantle

2009-05-05T05:12:00.000-07:00

I am totally out of my mind today. Damn furious of them! Completely hating every ounce, every sight of the people which causes this freak in me. This feeling drive me into somewhere I don't want to be and yet that's the only feeling I am capable of producing now. No chance of seeing the good. I wanted to shout at them but that's the thing that I should not do if I wanted still to be back in my old self again.

The thought of counting 1-10 to ease this anger haven't helped me so I decided to make it to 20. That, I guess, had heighten more the consequence of facing their distrust.I have my own part of mistake. But making it big is surely a death strike to me. I don't want it. Even hate knowing that they had brought the thought themselves.

I am furious. And so they are.

My memory fills nothing but "hate"at this very moment. I am sorry but this is the only thing I can do to control myself. My fingers are clattering like idiot. My emotion shatters like bastard. I owe no explanation to no one. But they think I owe to them. Have they even thought of putting me to death where no soul has ever been?. They are dividing me into pieces. And because of that I am hating them.

God, forgive me. But I hate them!

Project Using C++

2009-05-04T06:51:00.000-07:00

I remember doing this first ever programming project when I was in my first step of learning C++ Language. Programmers may find this work ordinary or worst than ordinary, that's quite okay. I know I was not able to learn the in depth rules for that language. One may take 10 years of his life in the language and yet find errors in the field. Anyway, this is only a hit, not a system. But it sure works.

It's quite annoying in the long run to realize that it took us long to let that graphic appear using the BreezySwing when in fact, Visual Basic could do so much in half an hour. Obviously, I was using more of the spaces.

Pleasure of Pressure

2009-05-03T05:30:00.000-07:00

Pressure and pleasure are often mixed into one. If not literally, mentally. Correct me if I'm wrong but that's what I am currently feeling. The way they both entwined makes my life challenging.

So this is Sunday.

Will it show spiritual restlessness if I won't make religious notes ? Or does it look unfilipino of me if I will not relate this post to Manny Pacquiao's winning over Ricky Hatton? Because if your answer is yes, I will probably just make another one for the next day. Well, the “post-relation” is almost there with the sentences. Right? Believe me if I say that I did not honestly watch Pacman's fight which others told me a 'short' one. I was facing the Windows Movie Maker that time beating few errors I have done with the time frames. I do care for his winning and admire that kind of unbeatable stamina he has. Now I say, “I am a Filipino”.

Beside the Windows Movie Maker, I've been trying so much to change my template into three columns for better spacing and what brought me was a burden that I could no longer return back the widgets I have added on my last template. Plus the fact that it was not a good try at all. So that's a clue for you if you're one of the many trying to find a greener pasture. Yes, Green. As in more ads for your blog/s. That backing up for your files will be easy work than eventually reinstalling them again. I am assuring that base on experience. For some who already experienced it, we both learned our lesson the hard way. ;)

And this I resonate.The opinion of gaining through blogging is currently out of my line. Gaining friends is there but the sure income is far away. I am not totally looking for that now, just pure narcissism that makes me think what my literature professor told our class :

“If what you're doing is unprofitable,
better NOT do it.
For it will leave you in waking death.”

I believe he has the point. Practice to blogging has made me a little familiar to others profession. I know that for some more days, another semester will start and it will left me frail to continue blogging like I do now. I was like passing deadlines for someone which I know no soul really cares for. It did not leave me in waking death. YET. Nonetheless, I am learning. It is a pleasure and a pressure in some way.

In your case, what did you consider blogging for?.Pleasure or Pressure?

Gardenville and Huckleberry Finn

2009-04-30T07:21:00.001-07:00

I guess everybody knows Huck Finn, right?The story of Mark Twain which have been the source of so much the controversy to Americans as to how the literary achieved its strong points of view influencing other country as well .

It is just a look-out however because I really wanted to ask you this thing : Have you ever wish of having Huckleberry Finn's life when you were young? Or even until now? Not that I'm exactly pointing you to live with the kind of Pap he has. But the side where you will wake up with songs of birds, overlooking the Mississippi River where you can swim,go fishing, no stress, with full solitude and living life as FREE as hell may care? If you do, well I am feeling enormously pleased to discover the free-spirited self in you.

I am feeling happy to share that kind of life I experienced for a little time I've been away. Its been like rolling in spins when we attended my uncle's 60th birthday at Greensville. It was a subdivision actually where I discovered a little haven when I walk down the street for air. Funny to think, but instead of taking photos to the event, I decided to take something that is outlandish. You might wonder why I am having that blurred images because I am still using mobile camera. I'm only wishing to have my own digicam someday. Time and opportunities will let me have one the very soon. :(
But before I turn this page to shit and ruin the above paragraphs, I am presenting to you my own Huckleberry Finn escapade. Yehey! Glad to have a record of this. Sorry for being narcissistic. 1, 2, 3 and presenting :

That's me with my ever blithe brothers. More lighthearted to say "raise your hand up for lively welcome" . So OK why not?

My younger brothers holding the goat for a shot ;) langya! pati kambing 'di pinatakas. They have actually plenty of shots with the animals and I was loving every second they pose for it, my very pleasure. Though I am not sure if it was in the interest of the goat to receive the photogenic award. .

My big bro this time getting his way for a touch to the cow. Ayan, mas malala pa sa dalawa toh! talagang 'di tinigilan makalapit lang. Believe me, he has more shots with the cows without escaping those that are with horns. I was looking at it as if it could wound me anytime. *Holy shit!*

Open arms : feeling like the winds lifting me up. Ambisyosa! Just in connection to canals photographs. I knew the shot would be good but it turned out like not. Maybe it was best that I navigated my attention to the other water pipes. Nevertheless, I mind the freedom...nothing less. Mukha namang merong freedom queen contest akong sasalihan nyeto.. :d

The brotherhood tandem : naks! It took us long debating who's gonna take the upper part position. But see? the end was happy faces. Or was it really ? hmmmn.

The worth was at the peak post. It's not a mountain, yet there's that little hill we found. Over there were my 2 cousins and 2 brothers.

On my list, Gardenville : Places TRAVELED!

Shared Sentiments

2009-04-27T21:05:00.000-07:00

A dear friend mailed me this article which I find really interesting for the time being. I know for some personal reasons that my friend don't want a name for a byline even if that is a little info or even just an alias. Maybe he wants an alias too but just couldn't think of one. So I gather, that since he shared this to me, he trusted me to keep that promise in stoned. I also would like to share it with you for the want of responses especially to the male species. *giggle*

“The Essence of Being a Gay”

One day at my final interview in one of the most successful fast-food chain in Bacolod City, I found myself belittle with Sir Jem, assistant Store Manager of that fast food I’m applying for. I was put in shame when he asked of my opinion “gays are nothing they said but a shit, am I right?”, he quoted. For him my silence agreed his remark but I absolutely contradict with it. I, compare to him is like a plain sheet to a book of printed knowledge and experience. Even in our home being a gay is always an issue. So I make it to a point that I strive harder in order replace that menace outlook of the people around me. During Elementary Years, still fresh on my mind, while walking great distances to reach our school, I can hear a lot of people discriminating and shouting “bayot” especially children and even those mature enough to realize what they are shouting. I have nothing to do with it but to extend my level of temper. But there was one time I involved myself in a fist punching for putting me in a great shame. Luckily, I won the battle and by that time my classmate never call me gay yet I’m not happy because I need to hurt first before they realized their mistake. I must admit that during high school years I once pretended to be a straight guy- the way I talk, walk, and dress myself. But unluckily I did not found my pretension comfortable in dealing with others, so I throw the mask within me. Then, I get realized my advantage which is this, people underrate gay because they think and expect little or the least a worst output from you, but when you does something great, in there minds they get surprised and amazed. I get to realize this during High School camping wherein we formed and designed well our tent in a fastest and creative manner and fortunately awarded it as best tent. With pride and confidence, I knew it was me who lead and govern the group. Another thing is the Student Body Election that catapulted me in a position I never expect. During 4th Year our president told me to run as a whole 4th Year Sergeant at Arms but with hesitation I refuse for I know I did not deserved with it and I foresee my defeat already. But my friends keep on insisting me to continue my candidacy for it is not a body built but a matter of commitment and sincerity. Due to extra points that will be added to my curricular, I go for it, Luckily, I got the trust of many by winning. This is a common connotation for every gay wherein we get to underrate ourselves to a bigger challenge and limits our chance to make our dreams visible in our palm. For as long as we are on the right path and we step no ones dignity, let us be proud of what we are. Let us set aside all the discrimination and criticism or what people might say nor let us make it a challenge to strive harder. Many gays parade their fragrant and sweet success nowadays. We may take it as an example, if other gays can, why cant you? And I believe that in the interview the advantage has a great effect for I passed a series of interviews and reached the level of final interview which was not experienced by those higher educational attainments than mine. I mentioned above that Mr. Jem insulted me by asking my opinion regarding homosexuality. But it did not mean I did not answer him back. I did a fake cough, cleared my throat and said, “you may right of their description about gays Sir, but even how nothing it seems a thing is, because I believe that we are God’s creation, we do have a purpose even how minute or little it is which someday you will be thankful for and be proud of.” With pride and confidence, I deliver it wittily for I knew; he is too, a gay. He ended the interview with a shake hand and said expect a positive response. A week after, they in formed me through text that I’m qualified for a training. But I refuse the offer for so many reasons. And my mother told me that there are still lots of opportunity waiting for me forward if I learned to value my education. Knowing the fundamental maxim “Mother knows best”.. I just nod and said nothing…

To you dear N(he he that's not the name huh!), I believe that it was admirable of you to stand by your principles. ;)

2009 Panaad sa Negros - Day 6 Glimpse

2009-04-23T07:05:00.000-07:00

My mind is somehow clogged up today but I wanted to make this post before the feeling fades. It's been 3 years I guess since I last attended the festival so I took the chance to renew the experience. The fact is, it was in the least of my plans to wheel myself down through Panaad Park and Stadium. But since there's no need for some special pass, I considered it as advance treat for myself to go there. Ha ha! I bet there'd be more of the advances than late treats.

With little more time for road trip, my friend and I left about 2:00 in the afternoon and spent about 20 minutes before reaching Brgy. Mansilingan. The 2009 Panaad Festival embarks a new image of style for me as we walk along the street. And to think that we've got a lovely weather sufficed a full set-up environment for me. Banners and print ads were there to add colors to the event. Panaad as they call the “mother of all festival” highlights the various cities in the province of Negros Occidental. The grace of the festival added more with booths from different cities showcasing their very own produce. I felt a bit annoyed because I did not have the appropriate lens to capture the event. Yet rather than not to capture it at all, my mobile phone managed an exposure.

I know the shots are bad. I doubt if it will do any changes if I'm using digital camera. Megapixel still is an issue over the mode but I'll share some of the photos for your viewing.

After that burger-machine venture which took us so long to find a descent seat at the Panaad Stadium, this stone background is quite good for a pose. Well, sorry to forget what municipality it belongs. There goes my stupid self. Next time I really should improve this habit. We then started the pektyur pektyur part. ;)

And a little remembrance for the day. That was just about Php.10.00 with free name written. It was suppose to be priced 15 pesos but we insisted on 10 so best agreed with the vendor. He should have given the thought that I have a business woman companion.
*smile* I remember I got a key-chain like this before when I was at Iloilo during my high school year.

Here also is the wristlet to add up with my trinkets collection. This cost me for Php 15. Saves the day for spending too much. But the fun is there. The walk back tired me and the good thing was, I still find my way to get home. LOL. As if I have plans not to.

Tracing Kenny Rogers' tune

2009-04-20T09:13:00.000-07:00

Talking about last night would be interesting. Apart from sleeping late again like I usually do, I spent my waking hours watching Kenny Rogers' video on youTube. My sleeping habit, of course, doesn't sound interesting at all if you've come for first option to draw your conclusion. Does it? Okay, before you eventually leave this page and accuse me of being this complete nonsense, I shall tell this whole wretch thing.

One thing about music is it calms your heart when you feel like being cathartic. I would have to say , that musical phenomenon is only base on how my brain orchestrates as of the moment. It feels actually good to find concentration on music beyond chatting. American country music isn't really my priority over instrumental ones. The reason is because it annoys me sometimes to hear it. If you'll let me define the type of music I am, I'd probably say classical. Yes! That healthy and boring type.

I sensed I'm getting nowhere again with this writing. That's another problem I'm finding hard to fix. As of that interesting night, my aunt was chatting with my father on YM and I was on the other side of the seat. They did eventually came to checking these songs of Kenny Rogers and my father asked me to play Always and Forever (Hope my memory serves me right.).If you're wondering why haven't my father just automatically hit the CTRL+T to add another tab, reasons were best served for him. And so wordlessly, I typed the title and easily got the music video. It soon ended and my auntie on her web cam told me to watch the Lady. Then I find myself profoundly watching Kenny Rogers with artistic impression. I surely heard the song before with such lyrics as 'Lady, I'm your knight in shining armor and I love you '. See? I remembered the first line of the song. To my hearing senses, it wasn't really an emotional binding song. Maybe just a little too close to it. But as the song rises its crescendo, I was delightfully eying the video with glimmer. Oh yes! I admit I like it and that's what makes the night a little more interesting than it already is.

The conversation took quite long but we soon bid saying “Hadet” and with joy in my heart, I sang the notes of Kenny Rogers on my mind.

*sigh*

Why did the chicken cross the road?

This is getting to be my daily dose of finding reasons over irrational things. It came by when I started answering the interview as application in Facebook. I was actually slightly irritated as to how long the quiz had driven me and yet it never ended still. So I decided to stop in the least that I can do. But there's normally this one question that remained questionable to me.

“ Why did the chicken cross the road? ”

Why indeed? And why the hell am I gonna answer that if it takes the little side of me to understand the whole thing about roads let alone talk about the mindset chickens? Oh la la! So people described it as joke riddle. Was there that much roads to cross? Because we people can't seem to find the appropriate answer and so we kept the chicken passing the road. And what's the name of the road? I dunno either. Maybe she was just afraid someone might brine her. Creepy? Okay.I'll probably find another way to humor you.

I remembered reading somewhere about this in Reader's Digest before. Most of the answers. I gather, is because the chicken prefer to be in the other side of the road. But I surely like this clever one :

The Bible : And God came down from the heavens, and He said unto the chicken, "Thou shalt cross the road." And the Chicken crossed the road, and there was much rejoicing.

Haha! See the fun there?

As to me, I should rather prefer answering lightbulb jokes. That, I know, I should never be lost for answers.

Programmer Personality Test

2009-04-17T09:17:00.000-07:00

I'm NOT honestly a programmer in the real sense of the word. Though I know some programming languages that are notable quite a bit. Apparently, it's what our programmer teachers thought us to be. We should act ourselves as kinda programmers if we're in the computer laboratory . It will vote little confidence to me paradoxically because it messes up my mind as i'll soon end up debugging. Personally, I hate doing flowcharts and that leads me to greater critical state when tracing errors.If there are loopholes, why not go for it?

As such, I wanted hypothetically to minimize the required codes and keep everything as simple as possible when I'm on work station but the effort on my part is big. Thus, I am challenged to do better everytime errors occur.

In my desperate want to expand my knowledge to Programming languages, I took this test based on Myers-Briggs'. They said the test is only relevant to programmer however anyone is welcome to take and so I tried.

I am on the lookout to know what other personality types are.

My programmer personality type is:

PHSB

You're a Planner.
You may be slow, but you'll usually find the best solution. If something's worth doing, it's worth doing right.

You like coding at a High level.
The world is made up of objects and components, you should create your programs in the same way.

You work best in a Solo situation.
The best way to program is by yourself. There's no communication problems, you know every part of the code allowing you to write the best programs possible.

You are a liBeral programmer.
Programming is a complex task and you should use white space and comments as freely as possible to help simplify the task. We're not writing on paper anymore so we can take up as much room as we need.

Fuelled by Passion

Lets be perfectly clear, shall we. I did not make this blog for the sole purpose of being informative. There had been an enormous blog and site that are, needless to say, drowning our days with data just when we needed it. Say search engines for instance. Google, Yahoo! Search, MSN Live Search, AOL Search, Ask, AltaVista, Fast, Gigablast, Netscape Search, Snap.com are just few of the many that allow users to select pieces of information in the Internet since it occupies a huge amount of database.

That, however, may not appear so clever of me to increase the number of population the cyberspace had now. You shouldn't have to ask me why William Gibson coined 'cybernetics' to 'space' though. Now, don't be confuse with that two words huh? Internet and Cyberspace are not the same. Goes back to our topic, it covers nearly 85% of Internet users each week and is roughly 6.7 BILLION as of 2008 estimation according to the Internet World Stats. The growth dramatically made our world even more smaller.

So, why add more? I think, like everyone else, I'm finding way to mark an existence in a no longer quite world. Sounds simple enough.
