For Our Defenses

During our previous defenses, we really did spend much money for the preparations. We always make sure that we have all the things we need before and during the defense so that we will not have any problems if ever we need to consider some corrections from our panelist.

It was really hard for us since we have big expenses and we lack budgets at all times. There were times that all our allowances were just used for buying the office supply that we need for our visual aids.

Since we will be having defenses again this semester, our group agreed that we will save more money for the expenses that we need. We decided to give at least P10.00 each to our group treasurer everyday so that we will have funds if ever we need money.

Well, we just hope that everyone will cooperate regarding this matter because it will be unfair to others who always pay and contribute for the group expenses.

My Fault!!

And so, the worst thing happened in my laptop. My existing operating system was corrupted that’s why I have no choice but to reformat it end reinstall a new OS.

Actually, I should have done that before my OS crashed. I already knew that my laptop was infected by viruses and I just ignored it and depended on my Anti-virus that it can still clean up the viruses.

I have lots of important files in my laptop that needs to be backed up before reformatting. But then, since I was so lazy to back up my files so I can start to reformat it, I just simply didn’t do it. And when my OS crashed, my important files were all gone that’s why I was so upset though I know that it was my fault even from the start.

For now, I’m using an XP gold because it was the installer available by the time I was reformatting. I am quite alienated by this version since I am already used to Windows XP 2007.

Until now, I’m looking for XP 2007 installer but if I will not be able to find one, I might as well just switch to Windows 7 since my classmate has an installer and he’s willing to lend it to me.

Getting Started

Since last weekend, I already started buying some goods for Christmas. I tried shopping online and I even went to malls for my Christmas shopping. I always do this as early as November because I’m trying to avoid plenty of Christmas shoppers and he long queues.

I started buying the gifts for the kids since they already asked me the things that they want to receive this Christmas. It was an advantage for me then because I didn’t have to think really hard for it. It was just a one stop buy at Toy Kingdom since all of their wishes are available there and that is why it was an easy shopping for me.

Since I’m done with kids, I am now planning to shop for my cousins and other relatives. In fact, I already ordered Michael Kors gloves for my uncle. I just thought that it would be perfect for him since he will be migrating next year and he can definitely use it during winter.

For now, I’m still getting some ideas on what to give to my relatives this Christmas but of course I still have a budget for all of them. LOL!

Time For Another Relaxing Trip

My sister and I always enjoy the relaxing sense of spas. That’s why, we see to it that we spend time going to spa at least twice or thrice a month especially in times that we know that we are so tired of working and the only remedy is nothing but the spa.

We actually have a favorite place and this is the Ace Water Spa. In here, people can try different types of water massage depending on their needs and choices. Though this is different compared to actual body massaging, it is still enjoying because the pressures of the waters are very helpful and of course soothing.

We really love the place especially the cleanliness of it. All the spa filters are working well and the bathrooms are clean and they have lockers for each customer that definitely helps the customers to secure their things while enjoying the perks.

I just hope that by the end of this month, we can visit this place again. I know we both need some time to unwind and enjoy some things that are not related to work. LOL!

Yes, Indeed!

Holiday Preparation

Holiday is fast approaching and our trip is being finalized by my mom. It’s kind of early, but it’s better so that we can have a perfect trip. She said that we can spend our holiday on a local beach and stop spending a lot travelling on foreign lands. I’ll give her a point with the spending, but until now, we can't decide where we’ll be going and staying on our excursion.

My sister suggested that we can rent on Outer Banks beach rentals in one of the beaches near our province. She said that we can save more on renting, which is true, than staying on a hotel. Being an obedient little sister, I opt to agree with her; who wouldn’t want to save more, right? Now it’s her problem to find one, though.

I wish she can find one that was really near on the sea shore, and has an amazing view; something to ponder on. I just wish Christmas come sooner, I can’t wait for our family get away.

One Week To Go

One of my friends will soon give birth to her first baby. One week to be exact. She’s really excited to see her first baby girl but still she hasn’t think of a name yet because she is so confused because we give her so many choices. LOL!

On the other side, she’s now wondering on how she can lose weight since she gained a lot even from the start of her pregnancy. She’s planning to go to gym few months after giving birth but then she thinks that she has no time because she will take care of her daughter and she will soon be back to work.

But due to her eagerness to lose weight, she decided to seek help to her doctor about this. Her doctor advised her that she can try Medifast diet because this has proven to be effective and it definitely helps to lose weight easily and faster.

For now, she’s more focused on giving birth then after that, she will start preparing herself to have her diet and to discipline herself in exercising regularly.

Smart Ranting

It’s been three weeks since I encountered some problems in my internet connection and up to now, my internet is down.

I’ve been using my sister’s internet that’s why I am still able to catch up and update with my things and my blogs. But there are times that my sister is using their internet that’s why I sometimes cannot do my research for my thesis and other case studies.

I already reported my problem in their customer service hotline but up to now they still have no response. I even visited the Smart Wireless Center at the mall but unfortunately, their system is down by the time that I went there that’s why they cannot accommodate any transactions and reports.

I don’t know what to do with my internet. In just a few days, my monthly bill will be delivered and of course I have to pay for that even though I was not able to use it. I’m getting tired of following up my problem and coping up with their poor service.

Quality Time

Yesterday, I was with my boyfriend at the mall. We spent our day there since we don’t have classes because the professors were absent.

We decided to have our dinner there and after that, we went to record bars because he wants to buy new bluray movies. Whenever he stays at their house, he use to watch different movies if he has free time. He easily gets bored that’s why from time to time, he buys new DVDs to watch at home.

Sometimes, he asked some of his friends to come over at their house to watch with him and there are times that I visit him and we watch different movies together with his sister and cousins.

It is so fun to do this all the time because it helps us relax and break away from our busy life at school. This is one of the chances to spend time for ourselves and for our love ones.

Congratulations!!

And so the good news is here. My sister is pregnant with her second baby. Before she left for her conference at KL, she took a pregnancy test because she was delayed for almost three weeks and the result is positive.

During their entire trip at SG and KL, she always feels dizzy and feels like she wants to vomit at times. She doesn’t really feel well that’s why she needed to rest after her conference and that is the reason why she didn’t visit much the places.

And now that she’s in her 7th-8th weeks in her pregnancy, she’s preparing for her diet for her and her baby to be healthy. She makes sure that she always has a complete rest without having less time with her hubby and daughter.

Everyone is excited for my sister’s second baby. Actually, I told her that I will give her weight loss pills as a Christmas gift for her because surely, she will gain a lot of weight. But I was just kidding that time. LOL!

Oh well, I’m hoping that everyone will pray for my sister’s safe pregnancy.

Inside the Room of Your Soul

Your Soul is Welcoming

You are a warm hearted and open minded person. It's easy for you to forgive and forget. You are not a very grounded person. You prefer dreams to reality. For you, it's all about possibilities. You see yourself with pretty objective eyes. How you view yourself is almost exactly how other people view you. Your near future is calm, relaxing, and pretty much what you want. And it's something you've been anticipating for a while now. For you, love is all about caring and comfort. You couldn't fall in love with someone you didn't trust.

Blogthings: We'll Tell You The Truth... Someone Has To!

First On My List

I have made a list of my Christmas wishes in my previous post but that’s not yet final of course. From time to time, I have something in mind that suddenly pops up and wishes to have for this Christmas. LOL!

I always want to have new shoes, slippers, bags and such things that go with them during Christmas. But now, I suddenly thought that I want a camera.

Most of my friends and family members know how much I love taking pictures of things, places and even myself. That’s why I’ve been drooling to have my own digital SLR camera and actually, I really want to enroll myself in a photography class so that I will know more about the functions and the techniques in photography.

Surely, if I will buy a digital camera, it will be a best buy since digital cameras are more convenient since film is not needed anymore but instead, removable memory is being used. And this memory has bigger capacity which is reusable.

So I just hope that I can afford to buy one this Christmas or it will be better if someone will give one for me. LOL!

Christmas Gifts

In less than two months, Christmas will be here and actually, I’m starting to make a list for Christmas gifts for my family, friends and even for my godchildren because I’m planning to start buying them next week if time will permit me.

For now, I am currently looking for gold coins for my brother in law. My sister said that he will surely appreciate things like that because he uses to collect magazines, action figures, different toys, gold coin and other collectibles.

Actually, last Christmas, my sister gave him bullion and an action figure that he’s been drooling for quite some time. Both are rare and that’s why my sister ordered them in the internet and fortunately, it cost her lesser than she expected.

So, I think I’ll just do what my sister did. I will buy him a gold bullion and perhaps I will look for some things in the internet that I can give for the rest of my family and friends.

True! I Need Some Rest

On this day of your life, Vien, we believe God wants you to know ... that it's OK.

Just rest for a moment. It's OK. Yes, things are crazy, yes, the world is going nuts. Yet, deep underneath the stormy waves, there, in the core of your being, there is pure silence, pure love. And ... it's ... just ... OK.

The Challenge

Studying in a government school is never easy. I am very honest with this especially that I came in a private school when I was in high school. I am used to many privileges, even the small ones, that can’t be given in a government school.

Like for instance, the School Lockers that are given per student during our high school days. Since we are in a private school, all students have their respective lockers, unlike in a government or public schools, only the officers or with high positions are given the privilege to have their own locker.

Just like the Gym Lockers in our school wherein the only students who can use it are the varsity players. And if there are lockers that will be available that’s the time that they will give chances to other students but these opportunities are very rare to happen.

But, the bottom line is, even if this is the situation that I am facing now, I got used to it already. And even if we have less privilege in our school, I still manage to enjoy it. And the most important thing is the standard of education that they offer to us scholar students.

Keep It Up Bro!

My brother is finally back on track in working out. It’s been months since he stopped going to the gym because he became busy with his business and many other personal stuffs. But now, he goes back to gym regularly to lose some weight and put himself in a physically fit body.

He’s really working hard to attain a good body that he wants to attain ever since he started working out again. He thought that he’s really gaining a lot of weight which makes him fat and he thought that it doesn’t look great and healthy in the eyes of the people. Oh well, I can sometimes consider my brother as a vain one. LOL!

And so, due to his eagerness to be fit, he really goes to gym whenever he finds time. He even plays basketball with his friends once a week and he actually bought some exercising equipment just like the Kettlebell that he bought last two days.

As what I have observed, I can see some improvements with his hard works and I hope he can keep up with his routine.

Vacation = Errand Time

Since I am still on vacation, I was able to do an errand for my mom. She asked me a favor if I can do our groceries because she still has a meeting to attend to this afternoon with her barangay officials.

Of course I cannot do it alone so I decided to ask my boyfriend’s help and company. We agreed to meet later at around 6:00 PM ad he said that he will just drop by here in our house to fetch me.

Before I and my boyfriend meet up, I asked my mom if she can make a list of all the things that I need to buy at the grocery so that I won’t forget anything. And so immediately, she listed all the items and in addition, she asked me if I can do some canvassing for office furniture for the renovation of her new office.

For now, I’m just waiting for my boyfriend to fetch me and then after that, I hope that my mom will permit me to stay overnight in one of my friends’ house to have some scary movie marathon with the rest of my girlfriends.
