The Things I Want To Do

Ever since the first semester of my fourth year in college started, I barely enjoy my social life. Almost everyday, I’m working on my papers, doing some research, interviewing different professionals in the industry and most of all, trying to pass our DEFENSE.

Since then, I rarely use cell phones, tvs or even radios and all I’m using is just my laptop. I spend so much hours typing and surfing the net just to finish the documents so I can submit it on time. I seldom go to malls and have some shopping with my friends, and the worst of all,

I’ve missed so many gatherings. I really feel sad every time I think about this. But then, I do understand why I have to get through this. This is also for my own sake and I know that I can earn benefits from this.

So I guess, I just have to focus now, after all, I’m only months away and I’m off to do what I’m craving to do for a very long time. LOL!

One Great Place



As I was browsing through some of my old pictures, I suddenly remembered how I loved and enjoyed our stay in HK especially our last trip there wherein we checked in at HK Disneyland hotel.

I am actually a fan of Mickey Mouse, which is why I really adored the place and as well as our room since everywhere you look, you can see a touch of Mickey Mouse. Even there tv mounts have an image of it that’s why I took so many pictures of myself in our room.

Though we just stayed there for night since we have to transfer to another hotel that is closer to the city, it was all worth it. Every single cent that we spent doesn’t matter anymore because everything is commendable.

How I wish we can go back there now but unfortunately, I still have no time because I need to finish all my school works since I am graduating (hopefully) this coming April.

Oh well, there’s always a next time for this but I hope that it will be VERY SOON!

Friday Fill-ins #8

1. A cup of tea will do for me.
2. Anywhere comfortable to me makes a place feel like home.
3. Everything has its beauty; it just depends on people’s perception.
4. How much do I crave for the taste of strawberries?
5. Art makes me appreciate simple things.
6. LOL I just noticed I forgot to work on my assignment.
7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to sleep early, tomorrow my plans include attending our Leadership Training and Sunday, I want to do some shopping!

Our Class Seminar

I was supposed to be looking for Mopar performance parts since my brother asked me to canvass for the prices of some accessories to upgrade the parts of his friend’s car. But then again, my classmate interrupted me and he asked me to check my mail immediately.

And so, I opened my email to check the updates for our seminar tomorrow. I do have a big responsibility in our seminar since I am one of the hosts and this is somehow a big event for our college department so I really need to review the flow of the program so I won’t get lost during the seminar.

I have to admit that I am nervous about this. The whole faculty of Computer Science will attend our seminar as well as the other faculties under the College of Engineering and Technology. Plus, there will be hundreds of attendees and that’s why I feel so pressured.

This will be the first time that I will be hosting a big event and this is really nerve racking. I just hope that everything will turn out fine and all the hard works of our class will be worth it.

Wish us luck!

Travel Plans

Holy week is really fast approaching. Every year, our family prefers to stay at home doing some Filipino traditions during these days. We thought that most of the resorts would be crowded because it is a long weekend, so it is not a good idea for us to go out of town.

My parents also told us that we have to stop spending too much money for now since we are saving for the cheapest car insurance that they want to invest. Plus, we already have plans this summer so we thought that we will just save our travel plans, probably after my graduation or during Christmas season.

Anyway, I think, my sister and I just have to wait for that time for us to travel again. We really miss our family getaways and for now, I think we both need to save money so we can have more money for shopping. LOL!

Try The Natural Way

I’ve read an article about blackheads and pimple management in Belle de Jour power planner. Ever since I started using this planner, I’ve learned so much about the latest fashion trends and some beauty secrets to keep.

Just like what I’ve said, I’ve learned that lemon can be the best natural acne treatment. By rubbing it over the face and letting it dry overnight will help dry out the pimple. The Vitamin C will also give your skin natural softness and glow. Another thing, toothpaste can also be a natural remedy as it also helps dry out the pimple because it contains baking soda.

Likewise, an equal amount of baking powder and water can be a good trick to lessen the damage of blackheads. Just rub it in circular motions like what we do when washing our face. This will help remove the dead skins and the blackheads as well.

At times, natural treatments are the best remedies rather than other medicines that contain different chemicals that might harm our skin. So I think we should always consider these and we must always be prudent with the medications that we are dealing with to avoid any damage especially to our skin.

Newest Technology

As I was looking for herbal diet supplements for my grandma, I saw an interesting gadget that I never thought would exist.

Photo grabbed here.

Have you ever heard about a cell phone assimilated by projector? That’s what LG has. But according to LG, the projector is just an add-on accessory to their newest mobile phone. It is optional to attach and sold separately that can be use to project an image or even a movie right from you phone.

Isn’t this a great innovation of technology? Just imagine a heavy LCD projector converted into a pocket sized one that can be directly connected to your phone.

I’m sure this will be a big hit in the market especially in the industry of business. It is very convenient to use and obviously, very handy. But of course, proper care must be done since the projector can be as sensitive as any other normal LCD.

Not My Lucky Day

Earlier this evening, I had an accident. It was not that serious but still I was hurt and I’m still in a bit of pain.

While I was entering the house of my grandma, I stepped on a rock that I didn’t notice while I was walking. I suddenly tripped and then I fell down on the floor. I didn’t feel the pain right away, as I was able to stood up immediately and walked normally. But after a minute, I suddenly felt some pain in my left foot. I think I had a sprain and it’s hard for me to move my foot and by that time, I cannot walk properly.

My mom asked me to sit down so that my foot can rest but later on, I noticed that it’s starting to swell. It was really painful and until now, I can feel it.

My mom already put some ointment on my foot and she covered it with a bandage. I hope it will be okay by tomorrow since I have to attend my class and it will be had for me to travel with my swollen and painful foot.

Come On, It's V-Day!

As I was about to research about colon and body cleanse, I suddenly thought of my argument about my boyfriend. Actually he doesn’t have any idea that I was upset with him.

Ever since we became couples, we haven’t celebrated Valentines day together. It is supposed to be our second Valentines but still, we didn’t see each other.

I asked him to come to our house since our family had some plans since it’s my cousin’s birthday. But then, he doesn’t want to because he’s shy so we both decided not see each other. I was a bit rattled by that but here’s the thing that irritates me more. He doesn’t have a cell phone load that’s why he’s not texting me the whole afternoon. At first I understood the situation but earlier this evening, he sent a text message saying that his friends are inviting him to come to the UP fair.

And so I got very bummed out. He doesn’t want to come here because he’s shy. He’s not texting me the whole afternoon. And then suddenly, he texted me using his cousin’s phone just to tell me about his friends’ plan.

Do you understand what I’m trying to say? For me, I felt like I was the least priority. He was able to make a way to send a text message just to be with his friends but he didn’t make any effort to be with me or even text me just to ask how am I doing. As a girlfriend, it really hurts in my part.

Well, I guess, I just have to get over with it. I just hope he had a great time!

Nanny Ranting

My sister has been ranting about her nannies for so many times. Until now, she cannot get a good nanny who can take care of her daughter and at the same time, do some household chores. I think she better need anti wrinkle creams for this dilemma. LOL!

Just like a while ago, she asked her new nanny to leave. She has been working for my sister for three days already but from what I saw, my sister was not happy with her performance. The nanny is always sleeping and she’s full of demands that really irritate my sister.

And so my sister can’t stand it anymore so she had no choice but ask her to leave. Well I guess she really has a bad luck when it comes to nannies. I don’t know when she will stop worrying for a new one that can be trustworthy and willing to take care of her daughter.

I'm A Princess



You Should Get a Trip to Paris



You have an adventurous heart, and you can't help but appreciate big romantic gestures.

It's hard for you not to be a little disappointed on Valentine's Day, but a trip to Paris certainly wouldn't disappoint you.


You are a total idealist when it comes to love. You want your partner to keep sweeping you off your feet.

You want a relationship that feels like a fairy tale at times. At the very least, it should feel like a fairy tale on Valentine's Day.

My Truest Friends

I already settled an appointment with my friend for her eczema treatment since she made me promise that I will accompany her to her doctor. But then again, our plans changed because I still have some very important schoolwork that has to be done.

So instead of going tomorrow, we rescheduled it on Tuesday morning because I have a class in the afternoon. Good thing that my friend understood my situation and she didn’t get upset, instead she helped me with my research study, which is a good thing for me because I was able to finish it earlier.

I really feel so blessed having friends who always understand me even though I spent less time with them for the last couple of months because of my busy schedule at school. I am so happy that they are very supportive and they always show their care for me everyday. I am very thankful because despite of everything, they forever remain true to me and I will treasure everything until the end of time.

Welcome Back

Yesterday, I visited my friend who just came back from Canada. It’s been a long time since we last saw each other and that’s why when she invited me to go to their house, I didn’t hesitate. So right after my class, I immediately went straight to their house, just in time for our dinner schedule.

There are lots of changes in their house that I noticed as soon as I entered. The house is bigger now and they really have new furniture that goes well with trend nowadays.

When my friend and I had a chance to talk, she told me that her dad decided to renovate their house. They even get a home insurance quote since they will be staying here longer and they will just go back to Canada for short vacation.

Right after we ate our dinner, she shared so many stories about her stay at Canada. She admitted that it all went well except for her first three weeks when she had a hard time adjusting to her new environment.

Oh well, we’ve spent a little time that night but though it was short, we did enjoy and obviously, we missed each other’s company. I guess, we just have to wait for another time for us to hang out the whole day.

Happy Birthday To My Cousin


February 14 is a special day celebrated by most people, especially couples. As what we always say, it is the Heart’s day, Valentine’s day. And during this time, lots of people are giving flowers and chocolates to their love ones as a sign of thanksgiving, care and most importantly, LOVE.

But today, our family is not only celebrating Valentine’s day. This is also a special day for my cousin since she’s also celebrating her birthday today. And speaking of birthdays, I still have no gift for her so I think I must rush to the mall later so I can buy unique gifts for her.

So now, let me take this opportunity to greet my dearest cousin Tessa as she celebrates another year of her life.

Happy, happy birthday Ate Tessa. I wish you all the happiness in life and hope you’ll be more successful and be able to fulfill your dreams. I wish you good health, more love and care from your friends and from us. We love you so much! May God bless you always.

More "Me" Time

No classes for today and defenses were cancelled so I have all the time now to do some personal things that I haven’t given much attention for quite some time.

And so, the first thing I did was to visit my dermatologist. I was with my mom actually because she also have a schedule for her eczema treatment. When we were done with our sessions, we went home to eat our lunch and since we have nothing else planned, we just then decided to go to the mall.

Yes, I was at the mall the whole afternoon with my mom. We went shopping for some shoes, accessories and foods, which we always love to do when we’re together.

My dad picked us up and when we were fifteen minutes away from our house, I called my girlfriend to check if she was on her flat. Fortunately, she was there so I decided to visit her and my parents dropped me at their house, which is just few block away from our place.

I went home at exactly 9:00pm and I really had a wonderful day. I did spend my day for my own personal stuffs. How I wish, everyday is just like this. LOL!

Life, Oh Life!

At some point, life can never be easy to deal with. There will be times when you’re up and then suddenly go down.

Life for me is sometimes messy. We can’t fit in all the time with the things that we want and often times, there are instances where we cannot understand the reason why things happen in our lives. We have our own perspectives on how we see the mess in our lives as an obstacle, punishment or lessons that we have to understand and deal with.

Well we just can’t handle the things happening in our everyday lives because we all know that everything is in God’s will and plan. The only thing that we can control is how to manage and choose the right decisions for the certain occurrences that we have to face according to HIM.

I bet, no one can tell how easy life is. Even the richest man on earth has his own problem even though he almost has all the beauty that life can offer. We must always remember that life is full of ups and down and we just have to make the right decisions to be in the right path.

Best Of Luck

I have a friend who’s been blogging for so many years now. He actually started his business as well as journals through his sites that he developed years ago.

And since websites are still his medium for his business and personal agendas, he wants to be known a little bit further so he can earn more and continue to inspire other people.

Because of his eagerness, he’s currently trying other sources that can help him to reach what he wants. For now, he’s more focused with his research about seo tool as this was recommended to him with his friend who has already tried it and proven its effectiveness.

I think this can be a big step for my friend in dealing with his writings. Also, this can be a great help for him to be more successful with his current business. I just wish him a good luck with this matter.

I'm Sick

For the past few days, there has been a change of weather. In the morning you will experience the cold wind and when afternoon comes, the sun strikes its heat and at night, you will feel the same thing as morning comes along.

It’s normal though, since the season is slowly changing. But then, these changes can result to some damage especially with our health. Most people nowadays have fever accompanied by cold, cough and headache and guess what; I am one of those people who are currently experiencing this sickness.

Oh well, this is hard for me. I really hate it when I’m sick particularly when I have cold because I really can’t breathe. I guess I need to take more vitamins so that I will have a stronger resistance to diseases like these and have a healthier body as well.

For now, I still need to drink my medicines and drink lots of water so I can be well and work normally again. I still have loads of labor to handle so I really need to get away with my condition.

Definitely!



You Are Original



You're one of a kind, baby! The jury is still out on what kind though...

You are creative, zany, and totally wild. You're all over the board, and having fun doing it!


People may accuse you of being totally random... you just have your own way of doing things.

You may go off in many different directions at once, but you always end up where you're supposed to be.


The Fussy Life

This has been the hardest and busiest month for me. I’ve been so busy with my school works for so many weeks that I almost forget what “rest” means. LOL!

Every day is always a fussy day for me. I go to school to study and work on our thesis and case studies and then I go home to do exactly the same thing. I feel like I’m starting to become a dork because all I do is stay in front of my laptop doing my papers. I almost forgot my social life and have some time for myself, family and friends. I’ve missed so many hangouts, birthday celebrations, especially with my friends. I can’t even text them regularly and ask how they’re doing. Likewise, I spent lesser time taking care of myself. I don’t get enough sleep and at times, I skip my meals and I even forget buying my medications and acne solutions.

Is this how I should be before I become successful? I just wish that everything will fall into place for I know that I’ve worked so hard to finish my duties.

Few Steps Away

I really wish that I can solve my school problems with just a blink of an eye. I must admit that often times, I almost want to give up because of the hardships that I’m going through. It’s like that I’m not going to make it this year and I still have to wait for another year just to graduate.

I know I’m being so pessimistic. Maybe it’s just because of a lot of pressures and stressful moments at school. How I wish that there are programs out there that can help me solve my dilemmas just like healthy weight loss program, which can help problematic people with regards to their weight.

Well, I know that these are just trials that I have to surpass to prove myself worthy for the profession that I am to take. Likewise, these are my trainings on how to deal with my chosen field and how to work in the industry few months from now.

I just have to work harder now since I am just few months away for our graduation.

Friday fill-ins #7

1. I know I am being so pessimist lately.
2. How I wish that the month of summer will be the longest month.
3. You can't help but feel so stuck from what I’m doing.
4. For sure, there will be more challenges, so; bring it on!
5. Where have you looked for that limited havies, I’ve been looking for that for quite some time?
6. iPad is now available.
7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to finish our documents for our case studies, tomorrow my plans include getting some sleep because I know that I won’t be able to sleep tonight since I have to finish my school works and Sunday, I want to sleep again!

Bonding Moments

I was at the mall a while ago with my boyfriend and some friends. Our class was dismissed earlier so my boyfriend and I decided to meet up with my girlfriends.

We ate our dinner and then we all agreed to watch a movie. After watching, we did some shopping just like what we always do when we are at the mall.

Since I have to buy some best hair loss treatments for my aunt, we headed at the beauty bar to get one. When I already found what I’m looking for, I bought some things for myself as well. I bought a new face powder, lip balm, blush on brush and milk whitening body salt, which was recommended by my friend.

After I have finished buying my stuff, we decided to stay at Starbucks first to have some talk over a cup of coffee. Then, when we were all set, we went home since we were all tired and want to get some rest.

Reminiscing HK

I’ve been to Hong Kong for two times already. The first one was my 18th birthday celebration with my family and the second was a pure vacation with my siblings and cousins. I have to admit that the first one was more exciting since most of us were just first timers.

And so, the first time I went, the things that I expected were way too far from what I saw. The place is so wonderful and neat. There are so many establishments, steel buildings and nice scenic spots to visit.

Right after we checked in at our hotel, we ate our late lunch and then after that, we started strolling around the city and followed our itinerary.

We stayed at Hong Kong for three days and for us, it was not enough. We were not able to shop well since we were all in a hurry because we still have a plane to catch.

Good thing that we went back a year after and we made sure that we allot enough time for our shopping list. LOL!

So Many Questions

On this day of your life, Vien, we believe God wants you to know ... that the answers are within you.

You're chasing in the wrong field. What you are looking for is inside of you, not 'out there'. Take a few days off to become quiet and look within, and you will find it.

In A Rush

I was in a hurry to go to the mall right after my class has finally dismissed. It was almost 45 minutes before the closing hours of the mall. And since the mall is just 5-10 minutes away from our school, I still decided to go because I know that I can still make it.

Fortunately, as what I had expected, I arrived there 30 minutes before the mall closes. I immediately headed at the grocery store since my agenda was to buy some foods and toiletries. When I was finished collecting my stuffs, I went directly to look for the queue and most of it were so long, which seems to me that many people were also rushing to do their rounds.

Since I have no option, I filed up at the queue that looked somehow short. But then again, just when I thought that it was the shortest line of all, their came another delay. The Symbol LS2208 encountered some problem which made the transactions slower than I expected. But luckily, the service crews were immediately there to check the current problem. And after about 5 minutes of waiting, it all went back to normal.

After doing my grocery, I decided to go home since I got nothing to do already since the mall was already closed.

Fiesta + Foods + Friends = FUN FUN FUN

Last week, my classmates and I decided to attend the fiesta at Rizal. One of our classmates invited us and actually this was the second time that we attended the fiesta there. Last January 2009 was the first time and we had an overnight stay just like what we did last week.

We stayed at my classmate’s fully renovated house. The place was so peaceful and very great. They had modern furniture and I can say that the house is really big. The floors are in granite tile and they have big glass windows overlooking a nice view.

We enjoyed our stay there especially that the parents of our classmates were so caring and they always offer us delicious foods and drinks and that’s why we always have a full stomach.

We played cards while some of the boys are playing the guitars and some are singing. Everyone had a blast end it seems that we were able to breakaway from our busy life in Manila even for just a short while.

Surprise Surprise!!



I am so thankful that my surprise for my boyfriend’s birthday was successful. Of course, with the help of his friends, I was able to make the birthday bash possible.

I set up a dinner with my boyfriend’s best friend. I asked him if they could come for a dinner together with their other friends. I sent him a message two weeks before and I was hesitant at first because I know that we were still not that close. But then I thought that I have to do it so I can push through with my plans and fortunately he replied and said that they will come.

Earlier this evening, I went to the mall to make a reservation at the restaurant. My boyfriend still has no idea of what I’m doing and I was able to arrange everything smoothly.

I met up with my boyfriend at around 6:30pm and then we decided to walk for a while and have some shopping (but actually I was waiting for his best friend’s text saying that they are already waiting at the restaurant).

And so, when we reached the restaurant, he was so surprised that his friends were there. I saw the happiness in his face because I know how much he misses his friends and they actually had a small fight last two days and he was sad that his friends were not even greeting him.

But my surprise doesn’t end here. When we were about to finish eating, one of the crews at the restaurant served the cake that I asked them to keep. So again, he was so shocked and he never expected that I could do things like that. He hugged me so tight and thanked me for my sweetness.

I know how much he hates surprises but I’m definitely sure that he’s very happy. I would like to thank his friends again for making this plan a success.
Once again, Happy Birthday honey. I love you so much.
