ADOBE PHOTOSHOP CS5 TUTORIAL

2012-03-04T05:20:00.009+07:00

ART. Oh, what a talent anyone would trade a ton of money for. The colors, the style, the passion.. What more could any one ask for?

When people hear the word ART, the they usually conclude it with the words “painting”, “sketching”, and “drawing”. Well, we’re in the modern world now, and even art has leveled up. Yep, you got it right! PHOTOSHOP.. Adobe Photoshop.

I do sketching, painting, and also drawing, especially real people. I just love drawing people even though I’m not that great, it’s still obvious who I drew. I think. I hope. Yikes! :S

Okay, enough with that. Here are some of my best edited photos (Adobe Photoshop CS3, CS4, CS5)

No one taught me how to edit photos, I learned by myself. I get confused when other people teach me. I prefer discovering the ways to do so. :)

I gained weight now so I'm a bit shy to post photos. In a month or so if my diet is successful I will post more edited photos.. Full body ones. *hoping for weight loss*

I just love editing.. Art is really my thing. Next to writing, of course. :) And also public speaking. I have no idea why I took up nursing. Lol But I love the course anyway.

I like editing and I've developed more skills while editing more and more. I started way back with the FRIENDSTER profile backgrounds.. Then people were asking me to do the same with theirs. Lol

Want to know how? Here’s a quick tutorial on how.

Don’t like videos? Well, no problem. If you prefer reading, here you go!

Adobe Photoshop CS5 Tutorial: Here

Good luck!

We all have talents in art, but it depends on us on whether to use that and practice more and more, or to just ignore the gift(s) given to us. :)

BOOKS AND BEATS

2012-03-04T05:09:00.007+07:00

Books and beats. Yep, literature and music. I just love it when I read a book with music. Some might think it’s weird and that I wouldn’t understand what I read, but they’re wrong. Even with studying, I actually learn more with music.. I think the reason is because when it’s silent, I tend to wander off to diffferent places in my mind- different thoughts and ideas; only when I write poems and stories do I prefer silence.. To gather my thoughts and ideas, yada yada. Lol

HELL WEEK IN 14 DAYS

2012-03-03T05:39:00.006+07:00

FINALS: INFORMATION OVERLOAD!

A week more and it’s the so-called “hell week” of college students. Time to get those lectures photocopied and patience lengthened, time to purchase “Memo Plus” and a ton of coffee that would last for more than a week, considering the overnight studying which would contribute to huge eyebags, and a sure shot of being cranky in the morning. Oh, finals, why do you have to be so.. You know.. You?!

Here are a couple of photos from my old phone (idk why I used it. Maybe I just miss it. Lol) on what I’m going to read for the whole week:

Nursing books + Statistic and Philosophy photocopies + Research PPTs + Zoology Lectures = [._.]"

Wish me luck, everyone! I hope to get the grades I deserve in the finals! God bless everyone and good luck to those in the same situation as moi! xx

Bonus photo: Me with my super HUGE eyebags.. Expect bigger ones in the days to come. Lol

NO MAKE UP SO YOU COULD REALLY SEE THE UGLY EYEBAGS (Sorry for the lighting and the color. Weird camera effect and I was in a hurry going to school. This was taken around 6 AM. :P)

THE LOVE OF A DAUGHTER

2012-02-27T19:29:00.005+07:00

I'm a daughter of 2 amazing people, my Mother and my Father. My Mother, a trusted business woman, and my Father, a well-known physician; both extraordinary, both the perfect match for each other.

I have 2 sisters- Achi (Chinese for Big Sister) Inna Melissa, and Shobe (Chinese for Little Sister) Anna Paula; both very pretty, smart, and above all just the best sisters anyone could ever ask for- though annoying and complicated at times, they still make me feel special in the most unexpected ways possible.

And last but not the least, Shoti (Chinese for Little Brother) James Ryan; tall, IDK if dark LOL and 101% handsome! And I'm not just saying this because he's my brother. Some people might generalize being "handsome" with white skin, a perfect nose, and the height that goes along with it, but hey, fair-complexioned guys are attractive, too. ;)

Oh my gosh I almost forgot- the life of the family!! Here, we have my very own dachshund, BUBBLES. Grandfather gave me this wonderful dog years ago and I've been with her ever since. Lovely dog. :)

Well, as for me, I'm the, how do you say this, most "complex" child of my parents. I have hobbies unlike the rest, and I'm interested in the most strange things, not to mention completely NOT obvious when you try to imagine me in the scenario with that of the certain interests said earlier. Enough of that. I don't want to leave you hanging, but.. What could I blog about next, right? Stay tuned!! :)

Here are a couple of photos of me with my oh-so-awesome FAMLY:

Take care of your family, guys. God gave them to us for a reason.. We might now know it yet, but in the meantime, CHERISH them. Love them with all you've got. :)

TOP 5 SCARY MOVIES?

2012-02-27T16:57:00.006+07:00

Frankly speaking, I absolutely adore scary movies. I love creepy and out-of-this-world horror stories, especially those I can relate to- It's scarier when you know it could possibly happen, unlike those giant spiders or mutated reptiles. I mean, it's pretty great on suspense but it won't get you pissing your pants due to shouting and being terrified as heck.

I have watched a lot of scary films, and I will cite the TOP 5 scariest ones, starting with..

5. CHILD'S PLAY

Trailer found here!

Why "Child's Play"? Well, first and foremost this movie is the reason for my 1ST NIGHTMARE! And 2nd, that doll is the main reason why I burned all of my precious dolls that had huge or little resemblance with Chucky. I regret the day I bur.. Wait, I don't. I DO NOT REGRET DESTROYING THOSE DOLLS!!

4. FENG SHUI (Filipino)

Trailer found here!

Okay, so some might think I'm korny for choosing a Pinoy movie, pero guys, come on! It's MS. KRIS AQUINO! All her movies are awesome, and this is one of the best, not to mention the scariest. Oh, and reality check, Filipino movies nowadays are getting so much better! Am I right or am I right? :)

3. THE GRUDGE

Trailer found here!

Okay, nothing is creepier than a girl who follows you everywhere and kills you in a split-second, but before the actual death, she kills you slowly with fear and terror. Enough said.

2. THE SIXTH SENSE

Trailer found here!

A kid who could see and communicate with actual ghosts? Super creepy! I got so scared when he built his own tent, and yet a ghost still got inside and gave him quite a scare as he opened the sheets. Anyway, I got relieved at the end. I won't spoil it, because some might want to watch this who never did yet.

1. THE RING

Trailer found here!

Scarier than "Missed Call" and "The Grudge", because it's the two of these movies combined. I got so scared watching this movie, so I watched the spoof of this, "Scar Movie", after. Lol But seriously though.. IT'S SCARY!!

Okay, so now that you know the movies that scare me the most, why don't you guys tell ME what movies you're terrified of? Leave a comment! :)

SEXY AND CLASSY IS THE WAY TO GO

2012-02-26T13:22:00.010+07:00

I CAN'T BELIEVE I USED THE CAMERA PHONE AGAIN. :P I'LL UPDATE THIS POST WITH THE REAL "PHOTOS" MAYBE TOMORROW.. :)

February 25, 2012 @ Grand Astoria Hotel’s Celebrity Hall- the venue of my little sister’s last JS. She’s going off to college now in Manila, specifically the school with great records of students in the medical field, UST. Here are a few shots of her classy look. Enjoy! :)

Age: 16 years old
Height: 5’7 (Same as me and she’s still 16. I know right [O_o]”)

BEAUTY GARDEN 2012 ❤

2012-02-25T08:58:00.015+07:00

BEFORE ALL ELSE, APOLOGIES FOR THE NOT-SO-GOOD RESOLUTION. I ONLY USED MY CAMERA PHONE (8 MEGAPIXELS) LOL THE DSLR WAS BORROWED. [>_<]"

About more or less 6 years ago, me and my family had transferred to a new home, and my mother, being as creative as she always is, joined forces with our architect and even contributed more ideas on the structure and a-ma-zing designs of our house.. One of which, is our GARDEN.

I just love the feeling of waking up everyday, feeling the wind on my face as it recklessly brushes my hair, and me not caring about it one bit; the birds chirping as they tour themselves while witnessing the beautiful, eye-catching colors of the flowers planted all around our front and backyard; the sight of the green grass that is just a perfect place to relax and let loose, even meditate! And last but not least.. The spacious area that is great for having family gatherings- dinner, an afternoon snack, or just to view the flowers bloom as they keep attracting more and more birds, bees, butterflies, and people, of course.

Here are a couple of photos taken just this morning, February 25, 2012 at 10:00 AM.

This photo right here is the front of our house. Let's start here, shall we?

The photo below is a view of the backyard from my room upstairs.

Mother's idea of these steps are just amazing. I love it so much.

This flower caught my attention.. First, it's red.. Stands out a lot! Second, the appearance. Beautiful.

Here, we have my sister, helping out with the gardening. Awww. :)

And that's our garden.. For now. My mother is still planning on making it look better. I love her work.. She's so good with colors and such. :)

Garden Design has great ideas on how to come up with beautiful gardens. ;)

WHAT COLLEGE SHOULD REALLY BE LIKE.

2012-02-24T19:31:00.000+07:00

As I wake up, the sun rises and my little sister is in the shower taking an 8-minute bath, the alarm from my phone is ringing once again, since I "accidentally" clicked snooze. It's going to be another boring day filled with books, books, and more books; not that I hate reading, I'm actually a bookworm when you come to think of it, the only problem is, the books I prefer to read aren't really considered as a pre-requisite subject to sleep late studying over. Suckish.

"I don't want to go to school!", "Another day, another migraine", "Boring...", and "Can I go to class tomorrow?" are the usual lines that pop up in my head whenever I wake up in the morning from Monday to Saturday. And when I have duty, I MUST be in school by 6:30 AM. WHO THE HELL GOES TO SCHOOL BY 6 AM?! Then all those annoying professors who can't accept mistakes and teach all those wack stuff scold innocent students- not that all of them are like that, plus I can't name them 'cause World War III might happen any moment. Chaos, man. Chaos.

What if school came about according to all MY rules? All MY expectations? Wouldn't that be awesome? Nothing would make me happier. GLS UNIVERSITY? Could be!

I would make students use all those uniforms you see in anime shows, where the girls use short skirts and a cute top- stylish and sexy yet still has decency in it. And for the guys? Well, I didn't really put much attention to what they were wearing, but I know they look cute in it. ;) Then you could bring your adorable pets to school! Well, not all. If you have a bore or a roach as a pet, then I would ban that. I apologize; BUT I could always put up a little school for them if you want. Lol

Then the food will be FREE! Hold on, well, okay. F-R-E-E. Then no more Sloppy Joe's will be served- all the oil and the unknown ingredients in that dish will never be placed onto our tongues again! No more icky casseroles or *pukes* juices with flavors you can't even distinguish! That would be stupendous!

Well, I guess all of that would remain a dream, unless I get SUPER rich and rule the world, that is. Wait for it.

❤ MY TWIN AND I

2012-02-22T13:48:00.003+07:00

Okay, so the programs I used in this are:

-Sony Vegas Pro 11
-Adobe After Effects CS5

So, basically this is a video of me any my so-called "twin" giving much thanks and appreciation to all those who visit my blog and watch my videos in Youtube.

If you want to subscribe, be my guest! I will subscribe back if you want to. Also, I'm open for LINK EXCHANGES. Just leave a comment below. xx

GOD, I AM SORRY.

2012-02-20T21:04:00.004+07:00

My Facebook status:

Had a long talk with Mother, and a lot of realizations have been exposed. To all my "enemies", those who don't like me for reasons I don't even know, and to the people I've hurt.. Sorry. I'm tired of wasting my precious time with these "negatives". Time to finally grow up.. God is forgiving, and I don't want to abuse Him. I'm done.

Yes, I'm done.

As I waste my time judging people I don't even know that well, the rain pours down so hard, just as hard as my head is when I answer back to my mother, or rebel against people who don't fully comply with my needs. Yes, those significant people whom I've ignored and insulted in even the slightest way matters. A lot. I've got issues, obviously, but not as obvious as the hurt my loved ones have been coping with for the past years. Oh, how normal it is for a teenager to be "one with the crowd".. I don't really go bar-hopping, nor am I fond of going out to parties and the like, but one thing's for sure, I'm no different than the 60% of the teenagers who do these things when it comes to attitude towards friends, and towards their families, and no, I'm not talking about the good side- the bad ones, too.

THERE ARE NO GENERALIZATIONS HERE.. JUST FACING REALITY.

So as I was being the sloth I am, lying down in bed, being unproductive and browsing to probably the most useless stuff anyone could ever search on, my mother approached me and we had another "religious talk", as we always do; only, this time, it seemed different. Way, way different. I felt warm and cold at the same time, and no great physician, not even my Father for that matter, could explain the sudden gush of feelings and emotions that has come my way- and not in a welcoming manner, if I may say so myself; nevertheless, the feeling was amazing. I was in complete awe- tongue-tied with words I don't even know what, and bewildered with such massive flashbacks. Yes, the flashbacks.. Those you often see in cartoons. Exactly.

FREE.

I've never felt so free in my whole life. It's like all of the negative thoughts in my head have been washed away.. Away to a forbidden land- A land of hope that has been doubted, and dreams that are horribly shattered. Even that certain place could become a joyful one, if only the right attitude and determination were present. Like me, we all make mistakes. I admit, I admit.. I'm not a "good girl", especially these days.. I've been naughty- no, please don't think of it as something gross or having much connection to sex. No, not that.

Point said, and that's all there is to it. I hope all of us would realize that this life is temporary- that there's another life that lies beyond our own today. Better than all the luxuries we possess at the moment.

So, as I breathe in the positives, hold my breath for a few seconds, and then, breathe out all else that doesn't matter, I apologize greatly to everyone I've hurt, and to those who see me as some kind of bad person, I'll pray for you. I hope you'll come to a realization as well that these actions will get you no where.

(: God bless us all. :)

❤ 2-MONTH OLD SHIH TZU SNORING

2012-02-19T18:11:00.003+07:00

Cousins visited our home and brought along their new puppy! It's my first time to listen to a dog snore. I never knew it was so cute. xx

His name is MONSTER.. Hear him snore. :)

RANDOM THINGS I LOVE: TAEKWONDO

2012-02-15T17:02:00.007+07:00

Taekwondo (태권도; 跆拳道; Korean pronunciation: [tʰɛkwʌndo]) is a Korean martial art and the national sport of South Korea. In Korean, tae (태, 跆) means "to strike or break with foot"; kwon (권, 拳) means "to strike or break with fist"; and do (도, 道) means "way", "method", or "path". Thus, taekwondo may be loosely translated as "the way of the hand and the foot." The name taekwondo is also written as taekwon-do, tae kwon-do, or tae kwon do by various organizations, based on historical, philosophical, or political[citation needed] reasons.

It combines combat techniques, self-defense, sport, exercise, and in some cases meditation and philosophy. In 1989, Taekwondo was the world's most popular martial art in terms of number of practitioners. Gyeorugi (pronounced [ɡjʌɾuɡi]), a type of sparring, has been an Olympic event since 2000. -Wikipedia

THE PHOTOS BELOW ARE SOME OF MY TAEKWONDO FIGHTS. THE OTHERS ARE PRINTED OUT, SO I GOT TOO LAZY TO SCAN THEM. LOL

(Me in the RED armor) In the photo above, I'm in a match at our very own school, Ateneo. The match was very scary because I was sparring against a player who is way more advanced than me.. It's as if I was a complete neophyte at that moment. I got so scared, because they announced the match on the spot! All I thought I was going to be sparring with someone new.. But that doesn't mean I'm also new at this. I was just so shocked because I haven't fought in about months already. Yikes!

In this one, I have been announced as the winner. Yay! I was so happy, but brought home a couple of bruises here and there.. Also, I had a hard time moving around because my body ached so bad. Lol But it's okay. It's a learning experience.

(PHOTO OF THE BRUISES I HAD THAT DAY)

YOU CAN'T BE GOOD AT SOMETHING IF YOU HAVEN'T FAILED ALONG THE WAY. :)

In the photo right here, as you can see, I have 2 medals being awarded. I'll let you guys find out what these are for, because I'm too shy to say it. Lol if you can't read, it's okay. Let's just say that these were awarded because I.. Deserve it? Lol Yeah, be proud.. I'm sure anyone in any place would be proud of receiving something after being kicked on the face, pushed, and again kicked right to the ground, and still accomplish to get back up and fight again. THAT is how we do it. ;)

Now, this is my favorite! It was my FIRST TIME to travel for a fight. We went to CDO to have a REGIONAL COMPETITION, and I won SILVER! Yay! I was really happy that day.. Too bad, I wasn't really fond of taking photos back then. :(

Oh, and here's a summary of what happened that day. As usual, the fights/opponents were being given or matched to you on the spot, and I was TOO shocked to find out that my opponent was HUGE! I was really like, "I wanna back out!", but later, I said to myself, "I wouldn't be here if I wasn't ready to fight." :) So, I did.

FEAR IS NORMAL, JUST MAKE SURE YOU DON'T BACK DOWN. FACE IT.

My favorite kick, right here. ;) Oh, and I really need to get back to my books and study now. So.. Thank you so much for reading, and have a wonderful night! I'll leave you with a video of how awesome Taekwondo is. Enjoy!! xx

ME AS A HOTEL HOUSE-KEEPER?!

2012-02-10T18:10:00.004+07:00

As promised, here's the follow-up post from my previous one, "2 Days Of Being a _____; Undercover".

As you've read and seen the photos I posted from my previous post, it's sort of like I was going to be a saleslady, eh? Well, you're wrong. I got the responsibility of being a HOUSEKEEPER at Grand Astoria Hotel.

NOT MY PHOTO! IT WAS FORBIDDEN TO USE ANY GADGET DURING DUTY. SORRY.

With sweat dripping violently down my face as I try to wipe it with my sleeve, but completely fail to do so, I've swept, mopped, cleaned comfort rooms, tables, windows, even air-con(ditioner)s!! Today was so tiring- it's like being a nurse on duty, only a lot, lot harder. I hate the feeling of trying to get my handkerchief, but sadly unable to because my hands were full- a broom on my right hand, and a dirty rag/towel on my left. It's not like I'm being maarte, but it's just so tiring to be so busy for 9 STRAIGHT HOURS, and only 45 minutes of break to make up for all the hard work. My hunger meter was at its peek, and the sweat secreted out from my dying pores were as active as ever! (Woah dying and being active at the same time. Wicked.)

Oh, and it was so fun to hide our true identity! Eating where employees eat, and having discounts as they do, too. Lol It was a great feeling to meet new people! xx

2 DAYS. Hmmm.. It's okay. Just the right period to be exposed to a new "world". Now I know the hardships that those workers go through just to keep themselves, and their loved ones alive, even for a price not as high as expected. I'm very thankful that I'm blessed with the things I have today. Hooray! for the successful day of being a house-keeper!!

2 DAYS OF BEING A _____; UNDERCOVER.

2012-02-09T19:56:00.007+07:00

BEFORE WE START, PLEASE READ:

Special thanks to Achi Rhea aka Bebe-Doll and KoreanDoll for inspiring me with their blogs.. Just updated my theme and I love it so much!

You guys must be wondering why I posted the following images, eh? Well, tomorrow and the day after, I will be wearing that set of clothes and go undercover as a _____, not letting the people involved know/find out where I'm from, what I am, or why I'm going to be there tomorrow. I will post the images and the full details once I'm done, and hopefully successful with what I'm going to pull off.

Wish me luck- tons and super duper tons of luck! xx

"I GAVE MY KIDS A TERRIBLE PRESENT"

2012-02-08T19:03:00.011+07:00

A little summary before watching the videos, shall we?

Weeks before December 25, 2011, Jimmy Kimmel asked parents all over the world to give their children something they don't want, or something unexpected. As we've all predicted, I assume, the kids will react very violently and let out their inner (?) "brat" attitude- cute and annoying at the same time! Well, mostly cute. Without any further delay, here you go!

PR 2 AS OF FEB 07, 2012!! OMG!

2012-02-07T19:47:00.003+07:00

SUPER SHOCKED AND SO HAPPY!! HARD WORK FINALLY PAID OFF.. THANK YOU TO ALL THOSE WHO VISIT MY BLOG AND SUPPORT MY POSTS. I OWE YOU GUYS BIG TIME! xx

5 THINGS BOYS MUST KNOW ABOUT GIRLS

2012-02-06T21:56:00.012+07:00

Guys, face it.. We, girls, are a very complex type of human being, and prefer to be that way, rather than to adapt to YOUR ways. Some guys might find it sexy and attractive, while others despise it and label it as annoying. Well, my friends, get ready to have your minds twisted and your beliefs messed up as we tackle 5 things that boys must know about the wonderful creature that is, GIRLS. ;) *Wink wink*

5. YOU DON'T HAVE "PMS", SO DON'T ACT AS IF YOU KNOW HOW IT FEELS.

PMS, according to Wikipedia, is "a collection of physical and emotional symptoms related to a woman's menstrual cycle", in other words, a 3-5 day of pure PLEASE-DON'T-TOUCH-ME moment for us, girls. It's not the best feeling, but it's not the worst.. Wait, it is! AT LEAST one of them. So here's a tip.. If ever your girlfriend is having PMS, don't argue with her, and if she gets irritated, give her time and space. She BADLY needs it.

4. YOUR EX ISN'T IMPORTANT ANYMORE!!

For Pete's sake, guys! Stop bringing up the past and saying, "My ex is", or "My ex was", and most certainly not "I saw my ex at.." or your current girlfriend will kill you! Well, in a few cases, girls would keep it quiet on the outside, but inside? They're dying and just wanna strangle the living hell out of your ex. Okay? Get the picture? I know "looking back to your past" is good, but not in this case. Please!!

3. SURPRISES ARE ALWAYS APPRECIATED- BIG OR SMALL.

Girls love surprises! Whether it be big or small, expensive or cheap (don't take it the wrong way).. We would just love you double or triple if you give/show us surprises, especially if it's something we really want, or something unexpected yet of essence to our wants and needs. From a rose to a ring, we appreciate them all. :)

2. DON'T EVER LIE TO US! WE ALWAYS FIND OUT.

The truth will set you free, and lies will get you in a very messy situation- very, very messy. Don't you guys dare lie to girls, because 70-80% of girls who confront guys or ask a lot of questions regarding a certain topic, know the whole story, in other words, the TRUTH.

1. LOVE US, AND LOVE US ALONE (NO CHEATING!!)

Cheating in exams is slightly acceptable (I'm not encouraging you! LOL), but cheating on your girl? BIG NO-NO! I'm not saying that girls' cheating is acceptable, but come on, it's like 80% of the stories I've heard, movies I've seen, and books/articles I've read say that the guys cheat on girls. True or not, it's just a matter of knowing that GIRLS HATE TO BE IN SECOND PLACE! So if you know what's good for you, please please please refrain from doing any of the TOP 5, ESPECIALLY #1!

If you avoid doing all of the statements above, then your relationship with your girlfriend will be a very happy and enjoyable one.. May God bless you guys and, for the boys, to always remember to follow these tips!!

TOP 5 GUARD DOGS & HOW TO TRAIN THEM

2012-02-06T18:55:00.008+07:00

When I was a kid, we've had about 11 huge dogs at home, and 40% of them were guard dogs. I know, it really IS a scary place to invade.. But guard dogs aren't just for protection- they make great companions- best friends, even.
Before, we had 1 rottweiler, 2 german sheperds, and a couple few I forgot (sorry). Bottom line is that our home was really protected, along with the tall gate that comes with the whole security issue. Moving on.. I will enumerate the TOP 5 guard dogs which are highly recommended for those who could afford it, because great dogs like these come with a bigger price that the usual dogs. Without further chit-chat, here they are:

5. GIANT SCHNAUZER

The Giant Schnauzer is a large, powerful, and compact breed of dog. It is one of the three Schnauzer breeds. Like most large breeds, the Giant Schnauzer needs a fair amount of exercise.

4. AKITA

The Akita is a strong, independent and dominant breed, commonly aloof with strangers but affectionate with family members. They are known to compete in many dog competition sports, yet some are known to be intolerant of other dogs and require a knowledgeable and firm handler

3. GERMAN SHEPHERD

As part of the Herding Group, the German Shepherd is a working dog developed originally for herding and guarding sheep. Because of its strength, intelligence and abilities in obedience training it is often employed in police and military roles around the world.

2. DOBERMAN PINSCHER

In many countries, Doberman Pinschers are one of the most recognizable breeds, in part because of their actual roles in society, and in part because of media attention. Careful breeding has improved the disposition of this breed, and the modern Doberman Pinscher is an energetic and lively breed suitable for companionship and family life, along with great security and protection.

1. ROTTWEILER (MY TOP PICK/FAVORITE!!)

The Rottweiler was employed in its traditional roles until the mid-19th century when railways replaced droving for getting livestock to market. While still used in herding, Rottweilers are now also used in search and rescue, as guide dogs for the blind, as guard or police dogs, and in other roles.

So, which guard dog do you prefer? Is it from the TOP 5 I have given, or is it from your own choice? Come on, let me know! :)

To be more informed regarding GUARD DOGS and HOW TO TRAIN THEM, please refer to the videos below. Enjoy!!

To all the dog-lovers out there, comment and let me know on anything regarding this post, or on guard dogs. I will appreciate every little feedback you give. Hoping for the best for you guys and remember, treat your dogs like how you want to be treated!! xx

NO DATE THIS VALENTINE'S? DOs & DONTs!

2012-02-04T20:01:00.008+07:00

Let's admit it! Not everyone has a someone special to be with this Valentine's, and by special, I mean the "lover" type, because I'm pretty sure people would comment that FAMILY & FRIENDS are special too, and I strongly agree with that, but the thing is, I'm referring to the whole boyfriend-girlfriend thing.

The 2012 Official / Updated Midlifebachelor.com List of:

What TO DO on Valentine's Day When You Do Not Have a Date

Drink with your buddies at their house and talk about how you don't really need a relationship right now.
Of course, if you are the only one of your friends without a date or relationship, then you'll have to keep reading.

Go to the gym.
Nothing is better for this kind of stress than working out. You should be going to the gym and working out regardless.

Watch TV alone.
Sure - you can always watch TV alone at home, but this way no one else knows you don't have a date!

Join an online dating service.
There are several outstanding online dating services out there - I am sure you'll find the right one. You might take a look at our Online Dating Discounts page so that you can at least save yourself some money!

Spend time with your family.
You should be spending time with your family regardless, but this is an especially great day to do it - if you don't have a date.

Throw a party for others who are dateless.
Having a "no couples allowed" party (also known as a "Loser's Party") might be fun. Or maybe not.

Do whatever you would normally do any other day.
In other words, you can simply ignore the day!

Recognize that marriage is the number one cause of divorce.
If you are not married, and don't even have a date - then you certainly don't have to worry about a divorce. And that's a great thing.

Recognize that by not having a girlfriend - that everyplace you go by yourself is HALF OFF the price!
Since you are dateless, you are only paying for yourself ... and that is at least fifty percent cheaper than if you had a date. You can even choose to go NOWHERE and spend NOTHING, if you wish! And you won't wind up in the doghouse for being cheap either!

What NOT to Do on Valentine’s Day when you don’t have a date

Do not call or email an ex to see how she's doing.
Your ex doesn't care about you, and she's probably busy doing someone else. Sorry!

Do not go out to dinner alone on Valentine's Day!
If you go out to dinner on V-day, all you will see is happy couples, and you may want to throw rocks at them! If you have to go out to eat, then get fast food via the drive-through.

Do not go out on a first date with someone new on Valentine's Day.
I did this once years ago, and wow was that ever stupid - as it puts a lot of pressure on both parties to make the date into something it isn't.

Do not say anything negative to others you encounter during the day who have received flowers and/or gifts for Valentine's Day.
If you do, then they may think you are a LOSER with no date! ha ha ;o)

Do not let your neighbors see you washing your car, or gardening, or tooling around outside in the early evening on Valentine's Day.
Otherwise they may think you are a LOSER with no damn date!

Do not intentionally harm yourself if you are dateless on V-day!
Sure - you don't have date this year, but things will get better in the future, and you will eventually find yourself imprisoned in another relationship (ha ha) ... so look forward to that time, and think about how much money you saved by not having a girlfriend this year!

THE SWEET SOUND OF SOLITUDE

2012-02-04T19:54:00.000+07:00

The innocence of the silence that lingers across the room has struck me, and these several, light voices in my preoccupied head keep on gently whispering all that is left to be said on what I must willingly do to fight for what is right in my world- our world. Alas, I am not referring to love once again for I have other things in mind, yet I am not selfishly pointing out that love is not important, for it is, with no doubt, one of the necessities of man, which all of us take for granted in even the most nasty and inhumane way. Pity.
Every time I am left alone in a spacious room, the impression goes right into my head that the room I am in, whether or not it is true, that the walls are turning white, then dark immediately, and it's as if there is no escape. No secret door on the floor or any secret messages or chants that I must shout out in fear with a trembling voice that screams in silence of the thirst and hunger of the will to live- to survive. I always get this feeling, and my heart immediately goes beating like crazy, it's as if there is no tomorrow. I don't really know how a hang-over feels like, but I'm pretty sure this unwanted feeling is worse. I can't even imagine. Oh, wait, I currently am. See? I'm losing it.

I wish to be in a world of peace- a world with no loud music or crazy, high teenage drinkers who have sex to pass the time, and smoke to impress. I have nothing against them, but I would rather avoid and not become one of them. I want to be in a world with people who don't gossip as a hobby, and reads and writes and enjoys the same music as I do. Am I sounding too off or selfish to you? What? Self-centered? Oh. Okay, fine. Let's just put in other types of people to blend with me. Is that okay? Good. Now, I must go and reminisce for I need to get myself to think straight and stop thinking so negatively; but, for a pessimistic person, I'm pretty optimistic. I love you, Paramore.

S. CAUCHON'S 5 RULES FOR BEST FRIENDS

2012-01-26T19:45:00.009+07:00

5 Rules for Keeping Your Best Friend!

by Sara Cauchon

Friendship can be a tricky thing. I, after six years of having the same best friend, have become an expert on the ins and outs of appropriate and not-so-appropriate conduct. So, the following are my five rules on Best Bud Behaviour… -S. Cauchon

#5: Honesty isn’t always the best policy.
In most cases, honesty is the way to go. If your friend has a bat in the cave (an enormous booger hanging out of his/her nose), it is your duty as a friend to point out the obvious. But, if your friend is dating a complete moron, take it from me, it is in your best interest to keep your opinions to yourself! Some people might say that it is your duty as a best friend to burst this bubble, but some mistakes need to be made. You just make sure you’re the first person there with tissues when the you-know-what hits the fan. Which brings me to the next rule…

#4: It is your sworn duty to be there when a break-up occurs.
And no, there are absolutely no exceptions to the rule on this one. I don’t care if you have a date with Brad Pitt that night; when you get the call that your best bud has had a heinous break-up you MUST be there within a half hour of the original phone call. You are also obliged to bring tissues, ice cream and chocolate when you show up. Trust me, it may seem inconvenient, but you can be sure that she’ll remember your sacrifice the next time you need her shoulder to cry on. And you will.

#3: Do not talk about your best friend behind their back.
I don’t care how much you think you trust the person you are venting to, best buds are like parents: THEY ALWAYS KNOW! Or they will find out, and you’ll be left defending your honour for the remainder of your friendship. Plus, if you really are best friends, you should be able to tell them to their face when they’re being wretched…I know I do.

#2: Never have more than one best friend!!
In highschool, I had three!! We were a group of four super-close friends who fought all the time. The problem was, when you have more than one, you are expected to distribute your time equally among them, and it’s a nightmare. There will always be one who feels left out or neglected. That doesn’t mean you can’t have multiple friends, but it is in everyone’s best interest to keep the Best Friend title for the closest one.

(MY PERSONAL RANT ON THIS:
I belong to a group of friends, which I already consider my best friends.. Before, a few were backstabbing, and only 1 or 2 were true. That was my fault- for choosing the wrong ones. So this rule isn't that true, but advisable, depending on how you gain the trust and choose your friends.)

And the most important of all the best friend rules:
#1: Never, never, never (and did I say never?) get together with your best friend’s boyfriend!
Not even an ex-boyfriend, not even a boy she has a crush on or one she had a crush on three years before! Are you getting my point? It is in the worst taste to date your best friend’s ex, and a crime punishable by death to date her current boyfriend. This is the number one way to lose a best bud instantly. Someone did it to me and it took me three years to speak to her again and it was never the same. Just keep your paws off! There are lots of boys out there, so there is no reason, excuse, exception, or loophole that will get you out of this one. And just remember, it would suck if someone did it to you!

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

WITH MY BEST FRIEND FOR ABOUT 15 YEARS NOW, BEA. xx

"SHOMBANG", FORMED LAST YEAR (2011). WE ARE 7 IN THE GROUP. :)

(I HAVE A LOT MORE FRIENDS, JUST WAIT FOR THE OTHER PHOTOS)

MY PERSONAL RULE (Yes, I only have one!)

GOLDEN BEST FRIEND RULE: HONESTY.

Just like being in a relationship, friends must be cherished well, especially those who are close to your heart. If you really wish to be trusted back, and also be treated the way you want to be treated, then always be HONEST- White lies are fine, like Sarah's tip found above, but when it comes to the critical ones, and even some little facts, just be honest. You don't meet these kinds of people everyday. Cherish them. :)

CHEATING COUPLES- YOU THE VICTIM OR THE OFFENDER?

2012-01-25T16:12:00.000+07:00

Before reading this, I would like all of you to be warned that the use of one or two (okay, maybe more than that) inappropriate words will be read within this article. Other than that, you're good to go.

How do I put this in a more simple and formal manner- Oops, I can't. So here's the whole point of my sudden eagerness to strike revenge on those good-for-nothing CHEATERS. There, I said it. You could see the rage I'm holding on to because of the blinking, blight red text of that foul, foul word. Live with it. Live with the fact that there really are those filthy sk*nks who roam around among us.
A story has been told that the one that's left will eventually meet someone new and live happily ever after. Well, readers, life isn't always that sweet. Life is hard- though filled with laughs and a little of teen-age fun here and there, it could still give us a hell of a roller coaster ride- one with a broken system that will make the ride eventually stop and pitiful screams will be heard by the audience down low watching and waiting for their very turn. That's life.

Nonetheless; life is an awesome reality, that is, if you minus all the b*tches, b*st*rds, and shitty people that only want you for either your money or your virginity. What are their purporting to? Are they just in need of a little fun to spice up their boring, useless lives? Where's the justice? Where's the decency? This is a load of Jerry Springer shit right here, people. Be prepared.

I can't give the 100% blame to the cheaters. I mean, the ones with the loss also have something to be blamed for, though it's not that big of a deal, but in the first place, they should've been more meticulous and chose a better partner for their hopeful future that he/she was been planning on since the day they've met, a week after that, a month, a year, or even as long as a decade. Cheating has no time limit whatsoever.

Once again, I ask the same question to all of you, "What is the freaking point of all this lying and cheating?".

Suppose I'm the one who was being lied to (I repeat, I'm just using myself as an example so please don't assume anything), what would the other party feel? Every time I'm waiting for my guy to get home from work, I call him to check if he's okay- I constantly will, honestly, then I hear either a voice of one or two sl*ts, or a voice machine whatever saying "Hi, I'm busy at the moment. Please leave a message after the beep. *Beep*". Oh, and this is an even worse scenario! What if the guy was suppose to text his other girl, then accidentally sends it to you? What hurts even more is when the text that was sent to you was "dirty". Yes, it does depend on us if we will doubt the person or believe in our own intuitions. Your choice.

Solutions? Well, more like the same term without the S. The ONE AND ONLY solution is HONESTY. Be honest in every way possible and I assure you 100% that nothing unwanted would ever be taking place. With that, I bid you, my wonderful readers, a good-bye.

UNIQUE VALENTINE'S DAY GIFT IDEAS

2012-01-25T15:22:00.005+07:00

Female or male, young or old, dedicated a lot, or just dedicated enough; I have here some suggestions for the perfect Valentine's Day gifts to keep the love going strong, or better yet, turn it up a notch!

Why did I post a Valentine's Day article early? So you guys could prepare, if ever you are planning on doing so.. If not, well I hope you would have second thoughts. Spread the love!

Saint Valentine's Day, commonly shortened to Valentine's Day, is an annual commemoration held on February 14 celebrating love and affection between intimate companions. The day is named after one or more early Christian martyrs named Saint Valentine, and was established by Pope Gelasius I in 496 AD. It was deleted from the General Roman Calendar of saints in 1969 by Pope Paul VI. It is traditionally a day on which lovers express their love for each other by presenting flowers, offering confectionery, and sending greeting cards (known as "valentines"). The day first became associated with romantic love in the circle of Geoffrey Chaucer in the High Middle Ages, when the tradition of courtly love flourished.

Modern Valentine's Day symbols include the heart-shaped outline, doves, and the figure of the winged Cupid. Since the 19th century, handwritten valentines have given way to mass-produced greeting cards.

-Wikipedia @ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valentine%27s_Day

So, you wish to make your partner happy? Wanna surprise them? Give them something that would make them fall in love with you more? Well, you have read the right article! Here are some gift ideas and tips on how to pull off the perfect Valentines Day!!

Tip # 1: "I'M NUTS ABOUT YOU!"
The title says it all.. Give your partner a variety of nuts, of course, neatly and beautifully packed accompanied by a letter or a sketch saying "I'M NUTS ABOUT YOU!".. He/she will be surprised and touched at the same time. ;)

Tip #2: "YOU'RE MY MISSING PIECE"
Well, I am sure some readers have a slight clue with this tip- you are right. A jigsaw puzzle-themed gift. Select a photo from your gallery, one with the sweetest or most unique post with your lover, and go to any shop that offers printing and such services of this idea. This will bring much joy to you both as you complete the puzzle, laughing and loving all the way through!

Tip #3: "TOKENS OF MY AFFECTION"
Prepare tokens (sold for a very cheap and reasonable price) which can be found in local department stores, along with some coloring and printing materials as you come up with words or phrases that could be written or engraved on the tokens bought. Some good examples may be "Love", "I miss you", or even "Hug me please" to make it more cute.

Tip #4: "DANCE TO MY MUSIC"
I juts love this tip! Prepare a blank CD along with a compilation of the songs the both of you like, and even record a simple, sweet message and squeeze it in along with the other songs. You two could dance to a certain beat, sing to great pop songs, and slow-dance to mellow music as your message for him/her will suddenly play.. Your partner will be very surprised, break down to tears of joy even. ;)

Tip #5:"YOU'RE SO SWEET!"
Obviously, this tip involved a whole lot of sugary goods! Go and purchase a couple of bite-sized chocolates, or a big one even, but I suggest the little pieces so that he/she could pick on everyday, and everyday they will be reminded of your love for them.

Well, I am pretty sure these tips are helpful. You could prepare and wrap them with simple gift wraps- not too much, okay? Then surprise them in the process of giving; in a scenario that he/she will never expect to be given a gift. You guys could even try drama and be all lonely and depressed, while stating you have nothing to give them on this very special day.. And when the drama is bought.. Boom! You know the rest of the story.

Oh, and if you guys are eager or want to spend the day watching a movie together, I have the perfect one. This might seem a bit cliche, but trust me, it is worth the watch!

Valentine's Day is a 2010 American romantic comedy film directed by Garry Marshall. The screenplay and the story was written by Katherine Fugate, Abby Kohn and Marc Silverstein.

I will not post a trailer, and I suggest you not to watch it- be surprised! Watch the movie directly. Again, you will not regret it (I am not speaking sarcastically). ;p Much love!

I wish you guys luck. Be creative and have a sweet Valentine's Day!! xx

YOGA FOR WEIGHT LOSS.. YES?

2012-01-24T16:20:00.005+07:00

Will doing yoga help me lose weight?

Doing yoga regularly offers many benefits, including making you feel better about your body as you become stronger and more flexible, toning your muscles, reducing stress, and improving your mental and physical well-being. But will it help you lose weight?
Answer: Practicing any type of yoga will build strength, but it may not raise your heart rate enough to make it the only form of exercise you need. In order to lose weight, you must eat healthily and burn calories by doing exercise that raises your heart rate on a regular basis. Some types of yoga, such as Iyengar, in which yoga poses are held for several minutes with a resting period between each pose, will build strength, tone muscles and improve your posture, but will not give you the cardiovascular workout you need to lose weight. More vigorous yoga styles can provide a better workout, but many people still choose to combine yoga with running, walking or other aerobic exercise in order to reach their weight loss goals.

What Kind of Yoga Will Help Me Lose Weight?

The most athletic yoga styles fall in the vinyasa or flow yoga category. These styles usually start with a fast-paced series of poses called sun salutations, followed by a flow of standing poses which will keep you moving. Once you are warmed up, deeper stretches and backbends are introduced. Vinyasa includes many popular, sweat-drenched yoga styles, such as:

Ashtanga:

Ashtanga yoga is a very vigorous style of practice with a few distinct advantages for those who want to lose weight. Ashtanga practitioners are among the most dedicated of yogis, and beginners are often encouraged to sign up for a series of classes, which will help with motivation. Another advantage is that Ashtanga follows the same series of poses each time. Once you learn the poses, you can practice anytime at home or join a Mysore-style group, in which there is a teacher present but each student goes at their own pace.

Power Yoga:

Power yoga is extremely popular at gyms and health clubs, though it is widely available at dedicated yoga studios as well. Power yoga is based on building the heat and intensity of Ashtanga while dispensing with fixed series of poses.

Hot Yoga:

Vinyasa yoga done in a hot room ups the ante by guaranteeing you’ll sweat buckets. Be aware that Bikram and hot yoga are not synonymous. Bikram is a pioneering style of hot yoga, which includes a set series of poses and, indeed, a script developed by founder Bikram Choudhury. These days, there are many other styles of hot yoga (Moksha, for example) that make use of the hot room but not the Bikram series.

Keep in mind that if you are just starting to do yoga, are very overweight, or are quite out of shape, always choose a beginner-level class.
Yoga Workouts at Home

Keep yourself exercising by doing yoga at home on the days you can’t make a class. Follow along with a video or audio recording if you are new to yoga. When you are ready to plan your own workouts, use these yoga sequencing ideas to help you come up with yoga sessions of varying lengths that will fit your schedule.

-Will doing yoga help me lose weight? By Ann Pizer, About.com Guide|Updated January 20, 2012

I have been doing Yoga for about a month now, and surprisingly I can do all the stretches, even the advanced ones. I think it is due to my Taekwondo history, because it also involves a lot of stretching, especially with the kicks! Anyway, back to Yoga, well first of all Yoga is a physical, mental, and spiritual discipline, originating in ancient India. It consists of physical exercises that help you a whole lot, inside and out. This exercise has helped a lot of people, including my friend who practiced this and lost a lot, and take note, a LOT of weight in just a couple of months.

Pros and Cons of Yoga – The Advantages

Yoga increases strength and flexibility as it awakens many areas of your body. It can help a rigid body become flexible. The more you use Yoga, the stronger and more flexible you’ll become.

Yoga works on the whole body. Besides the obvious differences on the outside, Yoga improves your internal functions as well, allowing blood to flow more freely to all organs.

Yoga transforms your flabby muscles. The stronger your muscles become with Yoga, the more they will tone your body and rid it of excess fat.

Yoga is a natural detoxification process. With increased blood flow to all areas, it helps to eliminate toxins from your body.

Yoga can alleviate pain. More and more physical therapists are recommending Yoga for at home therapy.
For instance, if you’ve hurt your back, a physical therapist can recommend very specific Yoga movements to help alleviate pain and strengthen the problem area.

Yoga relieves stress. This is probably one of the biggest benefits of Yoga. Because of the breathing methods and stretching techniques you practice during Yoga, you can actually feel stress leaving your body.

Yoga harmonizes your body and mind as one. With your mind aware of what your body is doing, you can reap the rewards of a whole body and mind workout.
Yoga classes often have relaxing music and dim lighting so your whole body and mind can relax and focus on the movements.

Yoga stabilizes emotions. With Yoga, you’ll find yourself in an almost meditative state that helps your endocrine system and emotional make up. No other exercise routine does this as well as Yoga.

Yoga works well on arthritic areas. If you suffer from arthritis, Yoga can help stretch your muscles so they can move more freely.

Pros and Cons of Yoga – The Disadvantages

As mentioned above, the disadvantages of Yoga are few; however, there are some important points to note:

Use caution with Yoga headstands. Some optometrists have warned that Yoga headstands could lead to glaucoma, but there haven’t been enough studies on this to draw a firm conclusion.

Dahn Yoga, a Korean Yoga idea, may be nothing more than a sales pitch to get your money by putting the word “Yoga” in there. It seems to include a lot of counting and chanting with no focus on breathing.

Bikram Yoga, or “hot” Yoga, is performed in a hot room. Some doctors say this isn’t good for your body, while others say it is. You can avoid this controversy by simply sticking with the basics.

Overall, practicing Yoga with a trained instructor can benefit your mind, body, and inner self. With Yoga, you’ll be able to relieve stress, strengthen your muscles, and promote your health and well-being. Give it a try, you’ll be glad you did.

HATERS ARE LIKE GERMS- THEY ARE EVERYWHERE!

2012-01-17T19:32:00.010+07:00

I was browsing through my Facebook news feed while switching tabs to be updated on the latest YouTube videos when suddenly a friend messaged me and shared a story on a very annoying, disappointing, and somehow disgusting scenario that happened to her just recently. See, this friend of mine is a sweet girl; studies well in school and has hobbies and interests that of an ordinary teenager. I am not so sure how this happened, but there are a couple of girls who recklessly gossip about her, and the sad part is, they do it physically. I mean, is it even humane to do such act to someone with a God-given physical appearance? That is even worse than criticizing her attitude. If you blame a person for looking that way, good or bad, major or minor flaws, better make sure you are in perfect shape, along with the perfect attitude- oh wait, if you have a perfect attitude, you would not even mind making "chismis" to other people, especially to innocent girls who mind their own business.

As I was listening to the stories of each of my friends who have been a victim of this, my heart rate increased as my memories of what is over.. Haunted me once again. I have experienced this before. I might have had a couple of bad memories regarding "haters", but it is all in the past. 2011 is 2011. 2012 is a new, fresh year- but for some, it is a perfect start for another sabotage. I do not even understand why they do these nasty things.. I know a couple of girls who are very formal- neat, witty, and pretty, but do they practice this sinful act? No. They do not even mess with other girls, they actually HELP them. I am not judging negatively nor am I being rude, but why do girls, especially those who are not even that attractive, rant or mess with other girls? Such animals!

We all have the freedom to speak! I actually admire those who are "prangka", but for God's sake!! To DENY? To cover up their mistakes and act like they do not even know what is happening? Get real, people!

To those who experienced, those who are experiencing, and those who might experience this in the future, share this. Justice to those who are being picked on!! They must come to the realization that the only ones who will get karma, who will eat their words in the near future, and those who will actually HURT God by insulting His dear creations let alone deny the fact and lie to that person's face without having even a little pity or "konsensya", will surely get what they deserve. Oh, you people might be hot, might be popular, might be a "somebody" now, but in the future, we will see who will have the last laugh. You people? I do not think so.

Bitter, eh? IT IS NOT TOO LATE TO CHANGE. 2012, guys. God gave us a whole new year to become better persons, and that is what we shall fulfill. For your own sake, change. We all want it.

HATERS. It is so frustrating when you're so happy with something you have, something you've accomplished, or something you're looking forward to, that your smile is "abot-tenga" and you're giggling and jumping up and down as your hair moves around to the wind's command as it whispers to your meticulously curious ears, "Yipee!", then all of a sudden, your world comes crashing down as if a big, brick wall was falling down on you continuously for hours and hours? I do. I've experienced that a couple of times, and it wasn't easy to deal with. It was like a battlefield in my head- a battlefield of me and people who have nothing more to do than handle their jealousy with words so harsh that it could bend mountains and even make an unhappy clown even unhappier. Why did I use a clown for this negative feedback? Well, I hate them. They're creepy "things" I don't want to deal with.

There are 3 ways to handle haters, and I've tried all of them yet was impressed with only 1. Oh, and these ways are according to moi, so don't hate me if they didn't work, though I doubt it 'cause everyone who followed my advice is happy now. Just.. Don't be a hater as well, okay? So, here we go..

*FIGHT FIRE WITH FIRE

This is the 3rd and least effective way to fight off haters. This is great when you plan of having your revenge, yet very very bad when it comes to making everything better, including your image, which is the last thing that you would want to wreck or get rid of, aside from your pride, honor, and dignity. Wow, that was so chinese. Oh, wait, I am.

*CONFRONT THEM DECENTLY

The 2nd and better way to fight off haters is confronting. Yes, you've read that right, people. Decently. Don't be all wild when you confront, and when I say wild, I mean wild in the sense that you catch everone else's attentions and go crazy with harsh words. What if the hater you yelled at ignored you and walked away? THAT WOULD BE THE MOST EMARASSING THING EVER. Trust me. Plus, what if you have a LOT of haters? (This is normal) Confronting all of them would be so tiring that you would feel older and weaker by the minute, and there's a big chance that they will hate you more.

*IGNORE THEM

The 1st and BEST way is ignoring. Enough said. If you ignore all those mean things being said about you, they would eventually stop, because haters LOVE it when you react to their comments and gossip about you, and tend to spread it more; but if you ignore it like nothing happened, then nothing else will happen, too. ;)

I hope this post will help a lot of people dealing with haters out there. Peace out and God bless!

"If you are a nobody, they will ignore you. If they talk about you, you must be someone special. You must have achieved something they cannot."

Oh, and to those who are being picked on? Chin up, guys! Live life to the fullest. Most of them just hate and make rumors out of jealousy. You might have something they do not, or maybe their friend prefers to hang out with you more, and their anger is expressed into a thousand, evil ways. Be happy, and always talk to God. He has the best answers for everything. ;) xx

2012 ATTAINABLE RESOLUTIONS!

2012-01-04T09:52:00.025+07:00

New Year’s resolutions, they’re easy to make, but often difficult to maintain throughout the whole year.
The Sentinel spoke with local experts on the topics of diet, smoking cessation and fitness to hear why starting with small attainable goals that are realistic and specific help to create long-term success.

Eat healthier
Try this: “I will eat at least two servings of vegetables a day.”
Not that: “I will eat healthier.”

Sara Armstrong, health promotion educator at the Center for Good Health said it’s important to be very specific with these types of goals.
“So often people say, ‘I want to be healthier.’ Well, if you had one extra piece of celery at the end of the month, you ate healthier, but was that your goal?”
She recommends goal-setters try for something more measurable such as setting a resolution to drink at least three glasses of water a day or cut out a sugary snack once a week.
Then, as you see success, add another step a couple weeks later.
Armstrong warns, however, don’t try to set a weight loss goal and expect 100 percent success.
“You don’t have control over that,” she said of weight loss. “But you have control over how much you move and exercise.”
For those who need immediate feedback to stay on track with a goal, Armstrong recommends make a chart to track what you’re eating on a daily or weekly basis, or if you want to fix your cholesterol or other numbers, get blood work done to see how you’re doing.

Work out more
Try this: “I’ll work out three days a week for 30 minutes a day.”
Not that: “I’ll work out six days a week.”

Doug Slagh, owner of Snap Fitness on the corner of 120th Avenue and Felch Street in Holland Township, said club memberships at his gym triple in January, February and March, but as the seasons begin to change, many of them drop out.
When gym-goers set a resolution to lose weight or work out more, many times they get too overwhelmed because they sign up and go from zero activity to working out five or six days a week, Slagh said.
“When they don’t work out those five to six days they get frustrated and stop,” Slagh said. Instead, he says start slow, have an exercise regime a few days a week for 30-45 minutes.
“Start creating a habit, which usually takes about 28 days and build from there.”
Then slowly add a little bit to the workout so it’s not an overwhelming task.

Quit smoking
Try this: “I’m going to manage some of my triggers and become aware of why I smoke.”
Not that: “I’m going to quit cold turkey.”

“I wouldn’t set yourself up cold turkey unless you have all your ducks in a row. You’re looking at a hard fall,” Tina Vande Guchte said of quitting smoking.
Vande Guchte works as a personal trainer and smoking cessation coordinator at the Center for Good Health at Holland Hospital.
Instead of setting an ambitious goal of quitting smoking altogether, she advised, make a plan to deal with the stages of quitting and learn the tools needed to become tobacco-free in the long run.
A lot of times, success lies in group support and being realistic about what you can do and the reason why you set the goal in the first place, she said.
Focus on the triggers that make you want to light up a cigarette and the environments in which that most often happens.
Once you do that, you can move on to working to cut down your nicotine intake slowly each day.
“Knowing why you want to stop using tobacco will help you keep the motivation to quit,” Vande Guchte said. “Be realistic — mainly because life happens.”

Bloggers' Resolutions (Must Read!)

While the beginning of a new year is a great time to give your blog a boost, the resolutions listed in this article can actually be used anytime. Whenever you feel like it's time to take your blog to the next level by increasing traffic, creating a better reader experience, or any other improvement you want to make, take a look at this list for inspiration.

These aren't necessarily quick fixes but rather actual resolutions - changes in behavior - that can help your blog in the long term.

1. Increase posting frequency
If you only post once a week, bump that up to 3 times. If you post everyday, try to post twice a day at least three times per week. Every additional blog post provides new content for existing readers to view and new entry points for search engines to help new visitors find your blog. Follow the link to learn all about blog posting frequency.

2. Respond to More Comments
Comments are what makes blogs interactive, social and different from static websites. If you only occasionally respond to comments left on your blog posts, try to respond to at least half of the comments you get. If you already respond to most of the comments left on your blog, try to respond to every comment left on your blog. You can follow the links to read more aboutblog comments and blog conversations and communities through comments.

3. Clean Up Your Blogroll
A blogroll is a great way to connect with other bloggers, but it's useless (and possibly annoying) to your readers if the links aren't helpful or don't work. Take some time to periodically test the links in your blogroll throughout the year to ensure they deliver value to your readers and actually work. You can follow the link to learn more about blogrolls.

4. Clean Up Your Sidebar
If your sidebar is cluttered with too many ads, useless links, and images and information that isn't useful to your readers, you need to delete the unhelpful excess. Take some time throughout the year to check the contents of your sidebar ensuring it's fully optimized to provide value to your readers as well as the results you want. You can follow the link to learn about 15 popular sidebar items.

5. Learn Something New
If you want to grow your blog's audience, a great way to do that is to introduce something new to your blog. For example, if you haven't learned how to create a podcast or vlog before, learn how and add it to your blog. You can follow the links to learn how to create a vlog andhow to create a podcast.

6. Try Something New
If you don't have time to learn something new, you can still try something new on your blog. Blog contests, guest bloggers, polls, and blog carnivals are just a few suggestions of new things you can try on your blog at anytime. Follow the links to learn more about blog contests,guest blogging, polls, and blog carnivals.

7. Try a New Promotion Method
If you want to grow your blog, then you have to take time to promote it. If you haven't been submitting your blog to social bookmarking sites, participating in social networking, using Twitter or another microblogging tool, commenting on other blogs, or participating in forums related to your blog, then you should start! Follow the links to learn more about social bookmarking, social networking, Twitter, increasing blog traffic and free blog promotion.

8. Network More
Networking is one of the keys to blog success. As you meet more bloggers, communicate with other people in the blogosphere, and become better known online, your blog will grow. Take some time to use the social networking and microblogging tools available to you to grow your blog indirectly. To learn more about social networking and microblogging, follow the links for more information about Facebook, LinkedIn, MySpace, Twitter, Plurk and Jaiku.

9. Enhance Your Blog's Appearance
The visual appearance of your blog can have a big impact on whether or not visitors stay once they find it or return later. Take some time to evaluate your blog's appearance, and add enhancements or revisions to make your blog look better than ever. You can follow the links to learn where to find free Wordpress themes, where to find free Blogger templates, and where to find free photos to use on your blog.

10. Upgrade Your Blog's Functionality
There are a number of ways you can upgrade your blog's functionality. If you're currently using Blogger.com or TypePad, you might want to consider moving to Wordpress. If you're using the free version of Wordpress.com, you can switch to Wordpress.org and gain a significant amount of additional functionality. If you already use Wordpress.org, you can add plug-ins to give your blog a boost. Follow the links to read a blogging software comparison to help you understand the difference between the various blogging platforms available. You can also follow the links to read more about blogging with Wordpress, Blogger.com, Typepad,Wordpress.com vs. Wordpress.org, types of blog hosts and how to choose a blog host.

Three Ways to Avoid Derailing From Your New Year’s Resolutions

It’s time to make New Year’s resolutions. We make these pledges with the best of intentions, but inevitably, we stray from them within just a couple of months, sometimes weeks.

By the time Thanksgiving rolls around, most of us can’t even remember what our resolutions were to begin with. Creating a personalized roadmap based on your vision for your career is essential. All too often I come across clients who are chasing someone else’s ideas or vision rather than creating their own. The problem with this approach is that we don’t have real ownership over our destiny and are therefore not committed. The key is making sure that your roadmap is genuinely yours, and that it’s truly attainable. The first step is to make sure your New Year’s resolutions--whatever they may be-- are sustainable. Here are three simple ways to ensure you stick to your resolutions all year long:

Go big, just don’t go crazy. -It’s good to stretch yourself and make goals that force you to go outside your comfort zone, but make sure you are realistic about them. In other words, stretch with purpose. Also, be sure to break your goals into reasonably attainable chunks (or sub goals) so that you can tackle them one at a time. Research has shown that big goals become more attainable when you break them down into bite-sized morsels. To stay on track, set weekly and monthly check-ins to evaluate your progress. It’s OK to get a little off track from time to time, just be sure not to completely derail. It’s important to have measures of success so that you know you are moving forward. Even the little wins can be motivating.

GPS it! -Don’t fall into the trap of picking a couple of lofty goals and then not planning on how to actually pull them off. It’s easy to pick goals, making them happen is another story. Every destination requires a route to get there. The route you choose is up to you, but you will need a GPS (or a map if you are old school) to guide you along the way. I believe everyone should commit to a plan and a way of checking themselves along the way. If you don’t commit to a destination and plan a path for getting there, you’ll never make it.

Hold a press conference

-The best way to hold yourself accountable is to go public with your goals. Share your resolutions and your intent to keep them with family and friends.

-Written by Dr. WoodyPublished January 03, 2012FOXBusiness

By the end of the year, you will feel like being on top of the world. You would jump around like crazy knowing that you have attained all of the resolutions you promised. With that, I bid you good luck and God bless!

EDGAR ALLAN POE- NOTHING BUT GENIUS

2012-01-02T09:25:00.010+07:00

Edgar Allan Poe (born Edgar Poe, January 19, 1809 – October 7, 1849) was an American author, poet, editor and literary critic, considered part of the American Romantic Movement. Best known for his tales of mystery and the macabre, Poe was one of the earliest American practitioners of the short story and is considered the inventor of the detective fiction genre. He is further credited with contributing to the emerging genre of science fiction. He was the first well-known American writer to try to earn a living through writing alone, resulting in a financially difficult life and career.

The description above is a short introduction on who Edgar Allan Poe is. The one and only author (in my opinion) who has single-handedly gave millions of innocent, curious people a new hope- an inspiration, and more importantly a huge chance to be as bold as he is.

His writings have touched my soul, in a creepy, sadistic manner. Though he was known for his tales of mystery and the macabre, his poems, as well, have been one of the very reasons why I continue to do what I *hope* I do best.. You get the picture.

As I was violently pressing my fingers against the keyboard of my laptop, pitifully trying to fight boredom and be entertained with what the people nowadays consider as "entertainment", when in fact they are just mere alternatives of what is really the meaning of being entertained, I almost hated myself- I hated myself for not being more productive in the sense of praising the classical works of E.A.. For instead watching a whole load of rubbish. Yes, it was as if I wanted to dramatically go down stairs, into the kitchen, pretending that it was night, with the dogs howling and the moonlight shining onto the eyes that sparked out of darkness- my eyes. The eyes that spoke of what must not be spoken, and as I enter the gloomy aura of the kitchen in which I do not normally feast in, I spot a knife- a blade as sharp as my tongue, and a threat to many, just like my curiosity. I then slowly pull out the knife, and bid my last words of not-wisdom, and then stab myself with the regret of not having anyone to witness it. I know, this post is getting a bit morbid. In fact, I sort of feel like E.A. Poe is proud of what I am coming up with.

Moving on to what really matters.. I immediately typed "EDGAR ALLAN POE" on the search bar of Youtube, and boy, have I found a lot of new videos uploaded by the other fans of the Master Of Fictional Misery (What?). Poems, short stories, and biographies were recently uploaded to the website and I have watched each and every one of them, until I have found my new favorite-

&amp;amp;amp;lt;/center&amp;amp;amp;gt;

I am going to assume that a few readers/viewers are not pleased with what they have read/watched. It is fine, no one could please everybody- not even the master himself, E.A. Poe. At least I have spread the gloriously unusually strangely addicting works of who I look up to, with regards to the field of literature.

Oh, how I wish to be as good, or even close to being as good as E.A. I sometimes find a quiet place, sometimes at night even, trying to find the perfect mood to come up with a short story that falls under that of misery and horror, wishing to terrify yet entertain at the same time, the minds and emotions of those who believe in dreams within dreams, and those otherwise. I, for one, will strive hard, being as hard-working as a tiny ant that carries a food a number of times its weight in order to survive- ignoring and fighting with all its might the abusive rain, the jealous majority, and the disgusting aspects that might contribute to the phase of giving up, in order to fulfill its every need, I too will be a striver, and in time, a proud and progressing achiever. That time, my friends, will come. Your patience will be of great significance to the goal I wish to reach- no matter how long it will possibly take.

I am above the weakness of seeking to establish a sequence of cause and effect, between the disaster and the atrocity.
-

It is by no means an irrational fancy that, in a future existence, we shall look upon what we think our present existence, as a dream.
-
It is the nature of truth in general, as of some ores in particular, to be richest when most superficial.
-
It will be found, in fact, that the ingenious are always fanciful, and the truly imaginative never otherwise than analytic.

-E.A. Poe

2012, WHY YOU COME SO FAST?

2011-12-31T06:42:00.009+07:00

With eyes still droopy and hands slightly shaking as I open my laptop to come up with an all-new post to welcome the year of the dragon, I have realized several things that made my 2011 a year I would not want to forget. I have climbed the highest mountain, fought the bravest warriors, and met the most amazing people ever- one thing though that I have never experienced yet, is to sing in front of a crowd, and that, my friends, is not going to happen. Ever. I am kind enough to save all of you from the fires of hell that might burst out once I start putting my vocal chords into action. No joke.
Alright, so some of you might be a bit bored or are in need of a little spicing up. Here is a music video remix of the 25 best hits of 2011 by none other than DJ EARWORM! Play it while you read this post.. *wink*

Also, I have here a quick horoscope on what this year might bring. Horoscope, prediction, feng shui, what ever people might label it, it is still the same. Everyone, especially chinese ones (I know, my mom checks it all the time), are very eager to be a part of this. Let us move on to it, shall we?

Posted on October 1, 2011 - Provided by Mary Devlin

And, in case you are not contented with one, I will post below another horoscope for better and broader knowledge on the year to come. I know, you are welcome. Lol

And here is a link of the top result in Google, with the subject "2012 horoscope", which might, or should I say, surely be of significance to you.

Click this: http://www.findyourfate.com/astrology/year2012/2012horoscope2012.html

So, how is it going?! Still having fun, I assume? ;) Some might be bothered or discouraged of what they have read, but hey, these are only mere PREDICTIONS, they are not facts. It is up to you if you want to believe in all of this, but take note, what I have posted here? They are not entirely true. Just a boost up for the year to come. You know, motivations, and such.
So, I hope you guys have a wonderful year! Oh, hold on a second, I almost forgot.. There is this awesome FILIPINO movie that I am dying to watch. It is entitled "A Mother's Story" with none other than one of the best comedians, Pokwang, as the star of the movie. This is the trailer:

See see? Exciting movie, eh? Especially when you watch Pokwang's comedy shows. Anywho, I will be back for an update on NEW YEAR! Courtesy of yours truly's experience and celebration as we count down to 2012 in 10, 9, 8, 7..

LUTERO FAMILY REUNION 2011!

2011-12-30T20:08:00.018+07:00

Here I am, once again, lying down on my comfy bed in my room with a cup of hot coffee on my desk, and my HP laptop right here, resting on my lap as if it were programmed to do so, and let us not forget the oh so popular cellphone I can NOT live without, tied to my hand; stuck like glue. Moving on to the actual "action".. As my hair falls down my face, distracting my thoughts on what I was about to type, I then compile each and every feeling I have experienced during my 5-day stay at Ilo-Ilo, my grandmother's hometown, and the place I learned to love-me even more. :)

When I was a kid, I had always dreamt of being the center of attention, but once I get to that point, I get the feeling of being cornered by wild animals who are trying to kill me slowly with their fierce eyes and raging sharp claws, with the teeth that could cut through bones to go with the nasty, dangerous image. Well, I am not so sure what I want now- a usual teenager (yes, 19 is still considered a teen) would want clothes, money, and vacation with friends to party all night like they have never partied before- jumping all around not giving much attention to whoever is looking, dancing to the beat of God knows what trash is being played (sometimes wrecked) on the DJ's corner, and drink as much booze as a drunkard could possibly consume. That-is-not-me. I might be, as said by several people I barely know and those I am close with, the image of a spoiled brat that knows nothing more but to demand, eat, sleep, party, spend money, and all that rubbish. Boy, are they wrong. "Maling Akala", as they would put it out.

I have been in favor of a whole lot of unusual and ridiculous yet strangely amusing things, which change from time to time (reflecting how much of a mood-swinger I am), but not on how I feel about being surrounded by the ones I love! Especially when I get to be acquainted with a whole lot more relatives I did not even know I was related to, and at the end of the day, end up being close to them as if they were my own flesh and blood, oh wait, they are!

So I guess you are all wondering who these wonderful people are, eh? Here's a scroll box on some, yes only some, of the wonderful people I am related to- proud to introduce, my LUTERO family!

Did I not make it clear that these people are awesome? Pictures are not enough, clearly. I swear that if you get the chance to be with these angels then you would be so glad to be a part of our clan. I am sure you guys have your own special family, and I highly respect that, and I am sure you people would be happy for me as well when I say that I am 101% PROUD TO BE A LUTERO!

I thank God for blessing me with them, and I hope that in about 2-5 years another reunion would be held and I could meet more and more people!

Hold your pretty little horses, I have got one more point to point out in order for my point to be a point you would all as well point out as a point to ponder..

Guys, FAMILY COMES FIRST. No matter what tragedy or huge complication might come your way, no matter how horrible the scenario might be among you and your family (it rhymes, so you must take note), apologize, forgive, forget, and be a better family. Who else would you run off to when you have got no more money to spend (Not in a spoiled way)? No more wisdom to share? No more food to eat, water to drink, or happiness that only your family could exclusively provide? I admit, I am not the perfect daughter, nor am I the best sister, but I assure you like how sure I am of my purpose in life (which is to please Him with no regrets/hesitations), no other being could ever be compared to the love I endlessly give and gladly and fortunately receive from my family. xx

(MORE PHOTOS WILL BE ADDED TO THE SCROLL BOX, I HAVE TO MAKE SOME CONFIGURATIONS FIRST)

CHRISTMAS SPIRIT BOOST! MC & JB

2011-12-11T13:00:00.003+07:00

It's that time of year again when we all get as excited as meeting our favorite superstars in person, or as excited as being given tons of unexpected birthday gifts. I admit, my Christmas spirit isn't very good this year, and that's a real shame! So I started to do various activities and such just to help my spirit be regained again, and in the process of this I've stumbled upon this music video. Indeed, it made my day and my holiday spirit alive again.

JUSTIN BIEBER HATERS, STEP OUT PLEASE.

As I watch this video while listening to the jolly jingle of the voices that unexpectedly sound good together, I'm in a great mood to do more stuff for the holiday! I may not know what to do as of now, but hey, BLOGGERS ARE CREATIVE. Right? *Wink*

THE SPAGHETTI YOU'D DIE TO TRY!

2011-11-25T16:51:00.002+07:00

It was a boring afternoon, and the only thing that entertained me was the ebook I've been reading for 4x already, and this is the only time I got bored with it. It's like being in school and listening to the boring voice of my single 67-year-old professor that always uses his favorite gray vest every time he gets in class. His favorite line was "You people are a disgrace to the new generation!". I'm always touched with that line. I truly am. *Chills* LMFAO
As I was watching these boring videos on Youtube on my laptop while lying down in bed (yes, that's not actually the best position to use a laptop), my sister was doing the same thing, the only difference is she was actually watching something. Here's the video of pure cuteness with a million of sprinkled sweetness that's partnered with it!

NOTE: If you're that type of person who's cruel and doesn't find much happiness or entertainment in little things, then stop right here. You're better off watching the HomeShoppingNetwork or something.

What did I tell you? Freaking adorable, right? I'd eat this dish any day! I'd take those pick-up sticks down!

STRAIGHT VS CURLY HAIR. WHICH ONE?

2011-11-25T16:36:00.004+07:00

It was approximately 3:30 PM when I got home from duty- I was covered with 3 things, namely my undergarments, my uniform, and my sweat. Lol Then my hair was in a "poto" and I hurriedly removed it from my hair as I went inside my room, looking in the mirror. Oh, the glorious curls that were in shape along with the bangs that I clipped with an ordinary pin worth more or less 3 php, and I don't even know why I told you that.

You guys must be pretty excited with all the description and excitement I've put on, huh? Well, I'm excited more! Here here you go, loves!

I've captured kawaii and wacky photos of me with my temporary curls when it hit me.. STRAIGHT OR CURLY?

Like choosing whether to eat chocolate or vanilla ice cream, or whether to buy 50% SALE shoes or an expensive yet super limited edition bag, I'm very confused.

WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK?

TEXT MATES? WEBCAM BABIES? EYE BALLS? WTH?

2011-11-18T19:36:00.001+07:00

I was at peace watching TV alone as I try to reach out for the remote that fell because of the fact that I freaked out after a weird guy with the voice of a sad, old unemployed jejemon asked me if I was Trish, then immediately I stayed silent and hung up the phone. Then, just when I thought it was over, to my disappointing surprise, he texted me and asked with no holding back if I was Trisha, and he wanted to meet up because he wants to see me. Is that even legal? I mean, WTH? I'm not saying that this is my first time, but it's way freaky 'cause this hasn't happened to me for months now, plus, my number is exclusive to what, like, 20 people more or less?
I don't even understand why people want "text mates". It seems so irrelevant and icky. Who would want to text someone they don't even know personally? Who would want to meet up with someone who's probably lying about his or hes own identity probably because he/she can't get laid or has no job and friends whatsoever?

I AM NOT SAYING THAT THE PEOPLE WHO ARE AGAINST MY WORDS ARE BELOW DECENT, OKAY?

This is just on my point of view- my side of the issue. Take it or leave it, but I know I'm not the only one who's experiencing these frustrations. With this, I therefore conclude that this is indeed something all of us go through, but it depends on the individual whether they want to stop it, or keep on making the situation worse.

Your choice.

I'M NOW YOUR OFFICIAL "SHORTY" ;)

2011-11-18T19:31:00.005+07:00

Okay, so some of you have read my previous post on what hair style to follow. I was really confused, and in addition to that I had no idea on what was about to happen that day. I was scared- scared of making the wrong decision. *sob*

THEN, IT HAPPENED..

I was ready for my hair cut, and I specifically said "TRIM". TRIM, which is, according to Webster, "to make trim and neat especially by cutting or clipping", but NOOO! That is not what happened. The one in charge cut my hair too short, and I was shocked at first, then I was happy, then depressed again, and now I have decided to Japanese Rebond my hair and get it straight again. I hope my look is okay, because I feel so lost without my long hair. :(

HAIR CUT TODAY- WHAT STYLE?

2011-11-16T08:30:00.004+07:00

I have had this style for about a year now or a few months lesser. People suggest I leave it, but some also say I should trim. Very very few repeatedly tell me to have a whole new do and cut my hair short. What style should I do? What would be a good style for my hair?

RECENTLY EDITED PHOTOS (KAWAII & HORROR)

2011-11-07T16:01:00.012+07:00

*Click*! "Oh my gosh, this shot is awesome!" -And that is where it starts.. Also, more often than not, it starts with "Woah, great effects! Gotta pose to blend in the photo!", then this leads to opening my HP Pavilion DM4 (yes, I'm proud of my baby) and hurriedly open Adobe Photoshop CS5, yes, that is what I use, also the latest PAINT; that program you guys usually take for granted, yet use endlessly and boast of during your elementary days. I know, I have been there, too. So, here we go! These, my friends, are a couple of photos I have edited over the week. These kawaii ones were edited 2 days ago when I was bored.

RECORD TIME OF EDIT: 8 minutes and 39 seconds
-Though it does not matter 'cause the editing time depends on how "bongga" your photo outcome will be.

These creepy edits are inspired by the holiday we're all excited-scared about, "Halloween". I hope these photos would leave a memory of me with you. If not, I will make sure it will. ;) Nawh JK hope you guys like them.

YOU KNOW THE FEELING OF HAVING ALL JUDGING EYES ON YOU?

2011-11-06T17:32:00.000+07:00

RE-POST! By me, only it was months ago. I just wanted to spread the issue once more.

I was visibly and hesitantly walking down the silent halls of Brent Hospital- the place where my duty was held this week. My shift turned out to be like any other! I got sick, I had my freaking period at the wrong time (only an insane woman would be comfortable walking about with her period in an all-white outfit), and we had a quiz in Pharmacology right after my duty. Who would even have the energy to go to class after that? My sweat was dripping down my forehead as I slowly and carefully answered the test questions that were intentionally prepared to make us suffer.
Enough about that, it's time to get to the point. I was walking at the ADZU campus on my way to the parking lot where all the messed up motors and the staff's cars are parked, and I noticed something very irritating- as irritating as a huge zit on the tip of your nose, whether it be flat or not. It was horrible.. Two girls were brutally killing this other girl who looked very innocent and "seemingly" harmless (I know this line is familiar, guess where I got it!) with the use of their filthy eyes and foul words.. Nagpaparinig kung baga. OMG did I just speak in tagalog?! Haha. I was known for sucking in Tagalog; though I know how to speak that language, I'm just not so good with it. Moving on..
The girl was so conscious and got all shy and turned red- as red as a tomato or a freshly picked apple, only it isn't as sweet as the food I just mentioned. I want to speak in behalf of all the victims of these gossiping and all..

STOP IT. STOP MESSING WITH OTHER PEOPLE'S LIVES IF YOU'RE NOT CONTENTED WITH YOUR OWN.. GOT NOTHING NICE TO SAY? ZIP IT. PLEASE. KARMA IS WATCHING OVER YOU.

People like those should read my older post on gossip. I don't get the point on why people should be such b*tches. It makes me mad! It makes me want to drag them down to a dark alley full of black cats and smelly trash cans and shove all of the garbage there down their indecent little faces. Shush. Calm down, Trish. It's not worth it. La la la.. Just sing already!

DARE YOU TO MOVE - (SWITCHFOOT) JAYESSLEE COVER

2011-11-06T15:02:00.007+07:00

Jayesslee are sisters, and yes, they are twins. :) They are born and raised in Sydney Australia, with both parents pure Korean. They have such amazing covers, but this has got to be one of the best. :)

"Maybe redemption has stories to tell
Maybe forgiveness is right where you fell
Where can you run to escape from yourself?
Where you gonna go? Where you gonna go?
Salvation is here."

OH, 2ND SEM, PLEASE BE GOOD TO ME.

2011-11-06T07:53:00.008+07:00

As I restlessly rest my head on my favorite, fluffy pillow, cautiously NOT minding what time it is and continue to watch endless movies, play random games and twitter non-stop, oh, and let's not forget about blogging (never forget that), I shall double all of these just to make-up for all of the work and hardship that has passed, and to prepare for the long, challenging road ahead. Oh, 2nd semester, please be good to me.
It's a day away from my class, well not really class it's more like a demo of a hospital practice (iv therapy), where in we use these uniforms that are really comfortable when you got the size bigger than how it fits you, which is how it should be; unlike those girls who really want to show their shape or whatever do it really fit! AND and and they will get demerits for that- so hah! Going back to the topic.. still I have not prepared anything nor have I worried on what the requirements are for tomorrow. Well, that's what you call a nursing student. We cram a lot but still succeed. Cool, right? ;)
Anyhow, I must be very careful this semester. I know I can do better than the last time. This thing that I do when exams come? You know, holding my book open, reading, yes, but none of that really stays in my head, and I know it's my fault. I mean, how can someone get the job done of studying well when there's a laptop open right in front, calling out "use me! Use me!" all throughout the time of studying?

This time I shall be a better student, and to not let my parents and myself down.

You will see a different "Trisha" now. Be prepared.

RANDOM WEBCAM PHOTOS :)

2011-10-31T20:42:00.008+07:00

I have no idea what I was doing or where I was about to go here. I think I was about to go to school? Lol

Here below, wearing green, I just woke up. No make-up, no combing of hair, no nothing. Lol I look weird.

In this photo, I just put on a super thin "cats eye". Not so clear, though. Didn't get to pic close-up. Boo!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN, EVERYONE!

2011-10-31T11:48:00.008+07:00

So, I'm guessing everybody knows what day it is today, right? Well if that is so, HAPPY HALLOWEEN! Let me tell you guys what I've done on the 1st hour of this day. It was 10:50 PM if I'm not mistaken, and I was watching this show on our local TV channel about ghosts and other paranormal stuff. While watching, I purposely opened my laptop with shivering hands with sweat coming down my face as I hurriedly logged on to my personal account and tried to socialize with other people who were watching the same thing. Yes, I got scared.

AT EXACTLY 12 MN, I WENT TO THE BATHROOM ALONE AND THE LIGHTS WENT OFF. I panicked and did my best to sexually rub the wall 'til I could find the door, then doorknob. I did it, and I felt like a BOSS.

As expected, I logged on to Facebook, Twitter, and Youtube, when suddenly I stumbled upon a super awesome photo of a girl with a zipper on her face, half opened as if it was showing her insides. I was like OMG I NEED THIS COSTUME! So, this is the outcome of my curious-jealousy. LOL Here you go: The cleaner version of my look.

This, on the other hand, is a super edited one with the background and the scratches and everything. Oh, how I imagined the feeling would be when you have a skin that could be opened via zipper and immediately see your insides when you do so. Oh, how it would feel when you slowly open the zipper and feel the cold breeze touching you as you're close to fully removing it, exposing the truth- yes, do the math.

You guys must really think I'm about to go to a huge, awesome Halloween party with these girls who abuse this day and use bunny outfits with 80% of their skin showing, those basketball players showing their oh-so-hot body, or the crappy, sweet food nobody even cares about as long as they could have wild fun with each other all night. Well, you're terribly wrong.

WHAT REALLY HAPPENS WHEN YOU'RE ASLEEP!

2011-10-19T18:18:00.002+07:00

Tried to beat my record of making a video edit of 10 mins. This video was completed within 8 minutes! AND this is what I get- Not really the best edit.. Tolerable, yes. I hope you appreciate it. :)

THE BIG S KILLER

TO MY LOVELY VISITORS..

2011-10-11T09:14:00.002+07:00

I sincerely appreciate the visits and comments you guys leave, and I am terribly sorry I couldn't reply to each of them or visit your sites too- but trust me, I will. As soon as my finals are over, I'll blog-hop all day! Especially to those who left me messages in my chat box. Kiss kiss!

LADY GAGA'S OTHER SIDE I PREFER MOST!

2011-10-11T08:07:00.005+07:00

Pressured as heck with finals- I had to let loose and enjoy some music and videos for a while. I am most certainly not a robot nor am I like mom and dad who just can't stop studying.. I mean, what kind of teenager (yes, I am enjoying my last year of being one) would have fun in a quiet, isolated place with a huge, thick book in hand that weighs even heavier than her HP Pavilion dm4 laptop- double it to be exact, while chewing on a Mongol 2 pencil's tip with a lamp on that focuses on those tiny font sizes and annoying cheap page material that's worth more than it should?

Well, as I was surfing on Youtube to kill time, I surprisingly stumbled upon this video. Lady Gaga, decent? Well, she's still 10% wack because of her hair, but OMG this video just made me like her for her actual voice, and not that auto-tune Rebecca Black style that we normally listen to. Wait, did I just compare Gaga to Black? I must be going crazy! Anyway, enjoy this just as much as how I enjoyed listening and playing this video over and over for the whole afternoon yesterday. :P

MY CLONE'S BUGGING ME! -The Fat & The Thin

2011-08-28T09:39:00.007+07:00

Okay, so this is my very first time to create a video with cloning effects with all the background music and vignetting + contrast touches as well. Believe it or not, I edited this video in less than 10 minutes along with the video recording of myself as well. IDK why I know these types of stuff.. They have completely no connection to the course I'm taking or the occupation I'm gonna reach. Oh well, a hobby is a hobby!

I was so freaking out my little brother and cousin when I was recording myself.. I shall not leak any of the technique I've done or what program I'm using unless someone asks for it. :) Anyhow, I hope you guys enjoy my video and please keep supporting my blog! I'm so sorry if I haven't posted much articles anymore.. I'm sort of having a hard time coping up with school stuff. My apologies!

Wait for my next post, okay? *Hugs*

GAINED WEIGHT, LOST HOPE. WHAT'S NEXT?

2011-08-27T22:23:00.004+07:00

Here is a raw photo of me TODAY. Face all round and my tummy big as well- though it's not really clear here (Good thing :P) So I made this bet with my friend.. By October 17, I MUST be 5 kilos lighter. Oh, gosh, I really need to pull this thing off! My whole reputation depends on it. Nawh, kidding! But still it sucks to be fat. *Slit wrist* LOL

SWITCHING TO A MORE PRODUCTIVE ME

2011-07-24T19:56:00.014+07:00

Okay, so let's face it.. I'm not the most responsible girl you know, heck I'm not even that independent! I'm like a kid that constantly needs the assistance of my mom or guardian to get me through each activity, or else I'd break down and cry then eventually give up and ask someone else to finish the job. I never really cherished that habit as much as I cherish the people who are involved in helping me get it over with. Truth is, I cram. A lot. I cram with quizzes, projects, requirements, everything! I even cram to go to the bathroom and pee. I know, that's pretty stupid.
I've survived 18 years carrying the leech of irresponsibility, and I never even felt it suck out the remaining "good" blood I carry to actually survive this crazy world, and when I say world, I mean the nursing world. The world of pure stress and sleepless nights, though I don't really mind not being able to sleep early. It's actually fun! If you're that night-type sort of person that enjoys the sounds of silence while admiring the moonlight with your blanket on and a cup of hot chocolate within your grasp. Man, that's heaven on earth! Oh, also with a huge book of Medical-Surgical Nursing as well.. Never forget the book. That's the only thing I have left to live. Seriously. I might die without it.

Being a junior is like being a sophomore x 10.. The lectures are tripled and the quizzes are up to the maximum. For Pete's sake, give me a break! I'm only 18! I'm legal enough to get in prison but not that old to get only 2 hours of sleep INCLUDING Sundays! That's the only day to rest and cuddle up under my blanket, listen to the tunes of Mika, Leona Lewis, and Avril Lavigne with the volume up full blast- using my earphones. Don't judge me, plz.
Nothing can be done. Well, there is one thing.. To change. That's the only thing! So I better say goodbye to all the old, little emotions and habits I usually carry along with that little notebook I have that's filled with scribbles I do when I'm bored in class. I love that little boredom diary but I must let it go. *Sob

Beware, world. A new me is approaching..

I FORGOT TO TELL YOU! There's just one thing you can't take away from me.. The sudden urge to take shots of myself! Hooray for vanity!

FIRST ZCMC DUTY, FIRST GOOD MISTAKE. SERIOUSLY.

2011-06-24T16:50:00.008+07:00

The date was June 23, 2011; a Thursday. The area I was assigned to go on duty was at Zamboanga City General Hospital (ZCMC), with 7 duty mates I absolutely adore- one reason is because they're easy to get along with.. Seriously. Really really fun people I'm working with. Moving on.. The specific area is the "Injection Room" which has cases of mostly animal bites and car accidents. The clinical instructor that supervised us was Mrs. Carpio- one of the best.

The types of injections that we were tasked to do were IM and ID, in a simpler way to explain it, one is injecting the whole needle inside (intramuscular), and the other, you inject only the tip where the fluid is being released, and you must form a small wheel inside (intradermal)- which hurts A LOT more that inserting in fully like the intramuscular because you insert beneath the SKIN.

I was assigned with a partner, and he was also the one I was with last time when our patient gave us a 100 peso bill for being good nurses to her (we returned it but then she super insisted so we had no choice). I was the first one to inject for SKIN TEST, and it was a success! The next type I did was the one for TT, and I was so happy after the patient told my supervisor,

"Bueno yalang libyano gayod mano dituyu studyante, Ma'am. Bien bueno."
Translation in English: Good thing your student isn't harsh with injecting. She's really good."

I was so happy and felt the urge to inject more! It felt so good. REALLY REALLY GOOD. But that's not the best part..

My instructor asked me to escort a patient, Ms. Cruz, to room 9 to check out her skin test results, and here's the big mistake.. THE WRONG PATIENT approached me and took the form to room 9. I was scared! Me and my partner didn't know what to do or how to tell our instructor, but we did anyway, for the sake of our patient's life. What happened next? Well, the wrong Ms. Cruz got back and the results were positive, which means she couldn't be injected with the medicine we offer due to an allergy to the medicine, but the first time she went to room 9, the results were negative, meaning she could be injected with it.

IF SHE WAS INJECTED WITH THE MEDICINE AND SHE WAS ALLERGIC TO IT, SERIOUS COMPLICATIONS WOULD OCCUR!

In the end, our instructor thanked me for giving it to the wrong patient, and we all agreed that it was really a meant-to-happen mistake. I felt good. 110% good! But don't think I wasn't checking the patient or confirming it was the right person, okay? I asked her and she agreed! Plus, she was the only one who approached and claimed the form.

To cut it all short, I had fun and my first experience/duty @ General Hospital was one heck of a ride, and I enjoyed every minute of it. ;)

Nearly 20 M views in approximately 8 days, Katy Perry has done it again; with Rebecca Black looking unusually "sexy" in this video, I'm assuming, wait cross that out, I'm pretty SURE that a lot of haters are choking the words they've trashed at Rebecca. LOL

SPEAKERS AT ITS LOUDEST \m/

2011-06-18T19:05:00.004+07:00

I have just finished mixing music for my own contentment, and to my surprise I am liking it. A lot. The sound waves angrily bouncing at me and back at the speakers is like, you know, LIFE for once. 1, 2, 3..

LET'S PARTEEEY!

X-MEN: FIRST CLASS - TOTALLY WORTH IT!

2011-06-15T12:30:00.017+07:00

X-Men: First Class is a 2011 American superhero film directed by Matthew Vaughn. Based on the characters appearing in Marvel Comics, it is a prequel to the X-Men film series. X-Men: First Class was released June 1, 2011 in the UK and on June 3 in the US.

The film is set primarily in 1962 during the Cuban Missile Crisis and focuses on the relationship between Professor X and Magneto and the origin of their groups, the X-Men and the Brotherhood of Mutants. The film stars James McAvoy as Professor X and Michael Fassbender as Magneto. Other cast members include Kevin Bacon, January Jones, Rose Byrne, Jennifer Lawrence, Zoë Kravitz, Nicholas Hoult and Lucas Till. The film was mostly shot in England and parts of the United States.

At a German concentration camp in occupied Poland in 1944, scientist Dr. Schmidt[5] observes young Erik Lensherr bend a metal gate with his mind when the child is separated from his parents. In a Westchester County, New York mansion, young telepath Charles Xavier meets homeless young shape-shifter Raven. Overjoyed to meet someone else "different" like him, he invites her to live with his family. In his office, Schmidt orders Lensherr to similarly move a metal coin on a desk, and kills his mother when the child cannot. Lensherr's out-of-control magnetic power manifests, killing two guards and destroying the room, much to Schmidt's delight.

In 1962, an adult Lensherr has begun tracking down former Nazis, hoping to find Schmidt and take revenge. In England, Oxford University graduate Xavier is publishing his thesis on mutation; Raven, now his foster sister, lives with him. In Las Vegas, CIA agent Moira MacTaggert follows U.S. Army Colonel Hendry into the Hellfire Club, where she sees Sebastian Shaw, Emma Frost, and Azazel. After Shaw threatens Hendry, Azazel disappears with the officer; moments later Hendry is in the War Room, advocating that the U.S. install nuclear missiles in Turkey. Shaw later kills Hendry, revealing himself as Schmidt and demonstrating the energy-absorbing mutant power that has de-aged him.

MacTaggert, seeking Xavier's advice on mutation, introduces him and Raven to the CIA, where they convince Director McCone that mutants exist and Shaw is a threat. Though McCone refuses to employ the mutants, they are sponsored by the unnamed "Man in Black Suit", another CIA executive. Xavier tracks Shaw down, arriving in time to stop Lensherr, who had attacked Shaw, from drowning as Shaw escapes. Xavier brings Lensherr to the CIA's secret "Division X" facility. They meet young scientist Hank McCoy, a prehensile-footed mutant whom Xavier inadvertently outs as a mutant. McCoy, developing a bond with Raven, promises her he will find a way to normalize their appearance. Xavier uses a mutant-locating device, Cerebro, to find and recruit mutants for training to stop Shaw. He and Lensherr find stripper Angel Salvadore; taxi driver Armando Muñoz, who takes the code name Darwin; Army prisoner Alex Summers, who calls himself Havok; and Sean Cassidy, who dubs himself Banshee. Raven takes the name Mystique.

When Frost meets with a Soviet general, Xavier and Lensherr capture her. Meanwhile, Azazel, Riptide and Shaw attack Division X, killing everyone but the young mutants and offering them the chance to join him. Angel accepts, and when Darwin tries to rescue her, Shaw kills him. With the facility destroyed, Xavier takes the mutants to train at his family mansion. McCoy devises protective uniforms and a stealth jet.

During the Cuban Missile Crisis, President John F. Kennedy institutes a blockade to stop a Soviet freighter from moving nuclear missiles to Cuba. Shaw, wearing a helmet that foils Xavier's telepathy, accompanies the Soviet fleet to ensure the missiles arrive, trying to trigger World War III and mutant ascendency. Raven goes to seduce Lensherr, who convinces her to embrace her nature as a mutant. Later, McCoy offers Raven his cure for her appearance, but she refuses. The cure backfires on McCoy, rendering him a leonine beast. Though ashamed of his new appearance, he pilots the mutants and MacTaggert to the blockade line. In an ensuing battle with Shaw, Lensherr takes the helmet for himself, allowing Xavier to immobilize Shaw. Despite Xavier's objections, Lensherr kills Shaw by forcing the concentration camp coin through his brain.

Fearing the mutants, the fleets fire their missiles at them. In a struggle, Xavier keeps Lensherr from destroying the fleets with the missiles, but when MacTaggert fires at Lensherr, a deflected bullet hits Xavier in the spine. Lensherr, remorseful, leaves with Mystique, Angel, Riptide and Azazel. A wheelchair-bound Xavier and the mutants return to the mansion, where he intends to open a school. MacTaggert promises to never reveal his location and they kiss; at the CIA later, she says she has no clear memory of recent events. Lensherr, in a uniform with the helmet and calling himself Magneto, breaks Frost from confinement.

This movie is awesome! Seriously, it is.. Didn't watch the previous parts of X-Men? Not to worry! This is sort of like the first part of the sequel.. The story of how it all started is what is primarily being shown here.. So what are you waiting for?

AN ALTERNATIVE FOR THE USUALS? WEBCAM BONDING

2011-06-15T11:27:00.004+07:00

It was a seriously boring afternoon; the only thing that strolled in and out of my ears was the sound of the raindrops pouring hurriedly from the dark sky and into the depths on our back yard. The thought of the sun shining again was far away from my mind, for all I thought of was to read another book while holding on to my favorite gray mug filled with hot chocolate, topped with those tiny marshmallows kids die to ask their moms to buy. In short, I was depressed and bored for no reason. No reason at all.

I tried reading a .pdf file of one of ❤ Nicholas Sparks' ❤ novels that a friend generously gave (after I asked for it LOL). I read that novel before, but I had nothing else to do, so what the heck, right? So there I was, about to read it, just seconds before something happened..

The sky cleared up, and the loud and eager voices of the people outside were happy that the rain has stopped, and so was I. I must've been too caught up with doing something else as an alternative for the usual thing I do that I ignored the weather that was, unknowingly, the root of all this silent chaos.

Like every other girl, when the light is good, it's either her cellphone camera or the webcam from her newly purchased or customized laptop will be of great use. That is just how the scenario occurred that day with me.

I know, I know.. I'm not the kind of girl you'd want to see on TV or judge from magazines or any other from of advertisement, but WTH with that I'm proud with what I have and how I look- aren't you?

THE 2ND YEAR BATTLE IS OVER, NOW TIME FOR THE 3RD YEAR WAR

2011-06-15T10:32:00.006+07:00

Here, my friends, I have 2, 500 pages of pure STRESS! Bring it on, Nursing Care Management 103!

BRING. IT. ON.

FINALLY ENROLLED, FINALLY A JUNIOR

2011-06-12T09:33:00.005+07:00

Normally I'm not really into this whole "OMG I'm so excited for class" attitude, but now, strangely, I am. I seriously am. I'll take back every bad thought I have with regards to being a student again. Good Lord, what is happening to me? Is this seriously me? Am I seriously becoming one with myself and increasing my curiosity with the outcomes of being a good student? We won't know until we try. I've had a long talk with my cousins one night namely Ms. Sue Ann Clarrise Que and Ms. Princess Shelmerry Dawn Que. I don't really remember how it happened, but it was a huge eye-opener for me in the sense that I've realized that I was carrying the wrong attitude in my life for the past years. It's time for a change, and it's gonna start right now. Right at this very moment.

TUTORIAL 1: HOW TO FORM A POWERBALL

2011-06-10T07:10:00.002+07:00

So, I recently got an original version *wink of this cool program used by experts to create cool animations.. I opened it and was like, "OMG too many buttons, too many bars, too many things for my eyes to handle!". So I closed it and slept. LOL

The days after, I got too curious. I Googled this program and found out that people are dying to get the program I'm taking for granted, so I gave it a try. Guess what? I love it! Now, here's my very first "advanced" video edit.. Enjoy watching something that's not even possible to happen in the real life! ;)

For questions about the program and the songs used, please leave a comment. Thanks for watching and continue supporting!

SHARPAY'S FABULOUS ADVENTURE NOW ON DISNEY CHANNEL ASIA!

2011-05-28T16:57:00.006+07:00

Sharpay's Fabulous Adventure is a direct-to video film and High School Musical spin-off starring Ashley Tisdale. The film looks at Sharpay Evans' life after her graduation trying to get a role in a Broadway show. The film was released as a Blu-ray and DVD combination pack on April 19, 2011. The Disney Channel Original Movie premiered on Disney Channel on May 22, 2011. It was the first Disney Channel Original Movie to be released on DVD before being broadcast on Disney Channel.

Sharpay Evans (Ashley Tisdale) performs a dance number at the Lava Springs Country Club ("Gonna Shine"). There she meets a famous producer Jerry Taylor (Pat Mastroianni) who offers her dog Boi a chance to star in his newest show on Broadway. Sharpay later convinces her father to let her move to New York City on her own. He hesitantly accepts, but he has a condition: if the plan backfires, Sharpay is forced to move back with her parents and work at Lava Springs. Once Sharpay makes it to New York City, she runs into people that dislike her like a girl named Katy Destiny (Adair Tishler), Her role model has always been Sharpay, but seems to dislike her now because she is a show-off. Sharpay then feels sad and decides to do something to show the world that she has changed.

While in New York, Sharpay is kicked out of her penthouse because they don't allow dogs. While in despair, she meets Peyton (Austin Butler) who offers her a studio apartment. Sharpay accepts but is disgusted to find out what it is. Sharpay, Peyton, and Boi go shopping to give her studio a little makeover.

While Peyton sees Sharpay in distress, he brings her to the stage of the Radio City Music Hall which makes her feel much better. There she meets Neal Roberts and Gill Samms, producers of Jerry's show. When she finds out they only want Boi, she auditions him but only to be caught in a tie with very competitive Roger Elliston (Bradley Steven Perry) ("My Boi and Me"). Minutes later, Sharpay meets Amber Lee Adams, the star of the show. Leaving the theater, Sharpay is threatened by Roger that if she doesn't drop out, there will be serious consequences.

Later in the film, Boi and Countess (Roger's female pup) run away together. Sharpay and Roger team up to find them. Fortunately, Peyton finds them digging through a trash can.

Meanwhile, Amber Lee fires her assistant and dimwittingly hires Sharpay just to boss her around. Unknowingly, Sharpay is a maid to her and answers to her every need. Sharpay later finds out that Amber Lee isn't all who she cracks up to be. So she and Roger concoct a plan to get her fired from the show. Her plan works, only to get Sharpay fired and Amber Lee quitting from the production. Just as it seems that the production is about to get get cancelled due to Amber Lee quitting, Peyton shows footage to the producers that she can be the girl to star in the show ("New York's Best Kept Secret"). They take his word and hire Sharpay as the lead role in "A Girl's Best Friend".

Sharpay accepts the offer only if Boi and Countess split the role of Shelby. Sharpay and Peyton share a kiss and she finally gets her dream of performing on Broadway ("The Rest Of My Life"). As the credits begin to roll, Sharpay receives a visit from her brother, Ryan, who is currently on break from a tour his musical is doing.

SHARPAY'S FABULOUS ADVENTURE IS NOW ON DISNEY CHANNEL ASIA!

FEW MORE DAYS & I'M BACK TO REALITY

2011-05-27T18:18:00.006+07:00

Every time I wake up during school days I say to myself, "Okay, another day another migraine!" with my brows scrunched up and my lips pouted- okay, my lips wasn't really pouted but you get the whole I-know-something-not-right-is-gonna-happen feeling. Watch a movie, play a game, read a book (OMG, will do!), text, go window shopping, or even just lay down in your nice, comfy bed with those cute jammies with cartoon characters and weird laces on while starring at the ceiling deciding on how to get up because, reality check, you're a lazy ass. Lol truth be told, people.. Truth be told.
I tried to do some reading and improving my writing skills, but then I got a little bit bored and decided to once again get pathetic attempts to lose weight; I don't even understand why I have to! I mean, I'm into martial arts and all those self-defense and all but I still can't get skinny enough to my extent. Such a sad, sad story to tell. On the other hand, I tried to improve my artistic skills as well. I bought pastels, charcoal, a weird-looking sketch book which is strangely sophisticated beyond ways no one can even explain.. Once again, I got tired and started to read Nicholas Sparks' novels via ebook with my pretty laptop. ❤
But, alas, everything ends up the same. Same old failure and that sudden feeling of being sawa. Oh well, I guess I just can't stick to one thing like those other obedient and whatever words people usually use to label intelligent people.
I also tried to find ways to change my hair style. I think I'm gonna dye it in a few months, I really want to dye it now but I just got it straightened and I don't want to get it looking all dry and shriveled up. Lol I want this color:

I really adore this shade- sort of reddish but it still remains the color of mahogany. I'm not so good with hair colors but this is what I want for mine! At least, a bit lighter so that I won't be scolded by my nursing instructors at school. Or how about this weird shade of rainbow on different strands of my hair? Haha. Seriously, I'm nothing but not serious. Lol *Wink wink*

Moving on to what the bottom line is of this post. Sorry for the sudden interruptions. Lol
In a few days, I'll be back to school. Waking up early with those annoying eye crusts (WTH did I just say?) around my eye, my hair down and all messed up but I sort of like it anyway, my lips looking all weird and pouted, and my conscience's unstoppable urge to get me all powered up for school and wanting me to annihilate these unwanted mood swings that will surely lead me to a day of complains and yeah you get my point.

I'M EXCITED FOR SCHOOL. There, I said it. Are you happy now? Okay, this might sound a like someone else and no the usual Trisha you know, but trust me, I'm serious. Curiosity disturbing you? Wait for my future posts on why my interests for school have suddenly boosted up. 'Til then, hugs and kisses!

LETTERS TO JULIET MAKES ME MORE INSPIRED TO WRITE :)

2011-05-19T16:03:00.007+07:00

Letters to Juliet is a 2010 American romantic comedy drama film starring Amanda Seyfried, Chris Egan, Vanessa Redgrave, Gael García Bernal, and Franco Nero. This was the final film of director Gary Winick before he died of brain cancer. The film was released theatrically in North America and other countries on May 14, 2010. The idea for the film was inspired by the 2006 non-fiction book, "Letters to Juliet," by Lise Friedman and Ceil Friedman, which chronicles the phenomenon of letter writing to Shakespeare's most famous romantic heroine. -Wikipedia

The love story of these two "teams" in the movie is quite a story to tell, and an article to write about. The place of Verona is very much an exquisite sight to see, as well as the accent and words that these people are using to speak is as lovely as the faces of the actors and actresses which lie beyond their undefinable charisma. This is way better than any fairy tales with all those princesses and magics we all know from Disney, because these types of happenings are possible to happen- though Kate's fairy tale did come true and she is now a "princess", you get my point.

I've watched the movie "Letters To Juliet" two or three times already, and I never get tired of it. Such passion and motivation is what is always absorbed by me every time the star pulls out her pen and swiftly writes down all of what is going on with her mind, the people around her, and with the different places that comes pass her way. This movie has given me a 100% boost to become the writer I ought to be, and at the same time learn more and more along the process. I may not be as good as how those writers in newspapers are or those famous bloggers I am currently following, but what the heck, I'm still 18 and have a long way to go. Writing might not have any relation with my course, nursing, but there isn't any rule that I may know of which states that you can't learn two things at the same time. Write. It makes life worth living. ;)

I'VE GAINED AND IT'S RUINING ME!

2011-05-10T16:54:00.006+07:00

Gaining knowledge is a good thing, but gaining weight is a whole different story- especially with girls. I love my appearance, it's God's gift and I embrace it 100%! Problem is, I sort of slightly destroyed it with sweets. I know you don't recognize me as the girl with a sweet tooth, but ever since a certain someone gave me Fererro Rocher, my life went all OMG. THAT is when I started to eat chocolates again.

I don't want to be fat. I really don't. For the past month I've noticed that my arms were growing a bit bigger. They're in perfect proportion with my height, but it's not a nice sight to see for me. I want to be skinny! Though people always and cautiously advice me to maintain and to not get super skinny, I always oppose to their words. I must be thin- really really thin.
I woke up to the sounds of the carpenters outside; the sounds of the saw cutting and the hammer banging are disturbing my sleep, so I decided to wake up anyway. I like waking up and looking in the mirror. I look best in the mirror every morning; my hair messed up while wearing super short shorts. I'm like, "I look awesome!", but after I take a bath and look in the mirror again, to my disappointment, I look less than how I want to look like. Sad sad sad.
From this second on, I will eat less sweets and less carbs! I don't want to go back to school as a junior looking like a huge, tall ball rolling around the halls of the school. Ugh. Food is so good but the ones that taste better are bad! Boo!

REBECCA BLACK JUST GOT PWND!

2011-05-08T12:47:00.004+07:00

Everybody knows Rebecca Black AKA "RB". This 13 (?) year old girl just got the title for the absolute worst music video along with the messing of her voice by the producers that goes well with all the wrong things in the video. It's like a cat mating right outside my window at night screaming right to the top of their feline lungs. Anyway, RB has almost 98% dislikes of her video in YouTube.. I bet the only ones who liked it were her friends and family. I'm not being mean, but she shouldn't have tried to become a popular star and fail. Trying isn't bad, but you must have something to prove. She doesn't. Enough talk- here goes her video. Enjoy while you can. I hope.

DO NOT FRET! Here's a way better version- it's chinese but there are subtitles so BIG thanks to this talented dude who saved us from the assumption that our eardrums have been permanently damaged. FYI I'm not being bias. I might be part chinese but that has nothing to do with the fact that this version is a billion times better than RB'S! Lol Here you go! Oh, and there are some bloopers at the end. Cool light up. ;) Super thumbs up to you!

THE BEST OF CHINESE MUSIC- TERESA TENG

2011-05-06T07:04:00.007+07:00

I remember waking up every morning with my hair all messed up and still being a "tulo-laway" that time! Hey, I was about 5-8 years old. What do you expect? Lol Anyway, each time I wake up, well it's more like every time something wakes me up, and yes, I'm referring to the music being played by my "Guakong" (grandfather in chinese) at exactly 4 AM in the morning until the clock strongly strikes 7 or 8 AM.. Just after each and every song is played full blast! I appreciate that music a lot, for it's sort of a tradition I guess of chinese people in a sense that, well, everyone knows who she is! Kids, teens, adults, seniors, everyone! So to kill your curiosity, here's a video of her most famous song than even kids aged 5-6 are performing in my school. Haha. Awe how cute they are! Enjoy!

Fact:

Teng, a lifelong sufferer from asthma, died in 1995 from a severe respiratory attack while vacationing in Thailand. She was 42.

DATE A GIRL WHO BLOGS. THAT'S THAT.

2011-04-16T21:09:00.005+07:00

As stated by Jayvee Fernandez, date a girl who blogs. Date a girl who finds solace in sharing her most private letters to the noises of the world. She has a rhythm to the writing, as the sounds — the tap-tap-tapping — are touched with every bit of emotion she can muster. She’s writing, ignoring the 9% battery warning as she tries to add a little more perspective to your world.

Date a girl who blogs. Find her that new restaurant and wait for her, patiently, as she skims through the menu, to cherish the Serifs and italics of the posh, and the Arials and doodles of the diner. Watch her order, and question the waiter, and then the head chef to hear a story you’ve never cared to hear before. You will learn. Watch her envelop her tongue at the morsel awaiting judgement, then chew, her face barely betraying a smile as she takes down notes on a torn paper napkin. She forgot her notebook. Buy her one. And seal it with the URL of your new blog.

Today she’s doing more than just writing. She’s moving the widgets, repositioning the ads and maybe doing a bit of SEO. Help her. Buy her a new domain — buy it for 3 years with a promo code — and then maybe configure a forwarding email address, because you know deep down that self-hosted email servers are a thing of the past.

Share her posts on Facebook. Like them. Create a hashtag for your affection to her and let her come to this knowledge through the Internet, but follow through in real life. Your story deserves to be written down.

Suggest her for #FollowFriday.

Go out on dates. Let her heart open up to you and digest these memories into a single post which will be remembered in the archives of our search engines. Kiss. Change your relationship status. Kiss some more. Add her friends. You now have more mutual friends. Tag your photos together. Add her on Farmville. Harvest her farm. Poke her.

You are no longer forever alone.

Marry a girl who blogs. Propose to her by making a website with animated gifs and MIDI background music; she will show you the secret journal she’s been writing for years for you, and you alone. You will find that it comes with no ads, no links, no page rank. Only her trust rank. You will be overjoyed to read the fondness she has had of you, and realize that this, and this alone is the memory she chose to keep from her readers.

Have kids with a girl who blogs. Let her post photos and status updates about your children. Share them with your friends. You will see that she has saved everything onto a USB drive and printed the most fond ones for a real family album because the grandparents are not on the Internet.

Date a girl who blogs because she will find "interestingness" in the most uninteresting of things. You deserve to be interesting and that this life you live, though monotonous in its day to day is the perfect testament to why she loves you.

ONCE AGAIN, SIMS 3 HAS TAKEN OVER ME!

2011-04-16T20:14:00.007+07:00

I was desperately lying in bed with my eyes focused on what creature is crawling on the ceiling, and later realize that it was just my imagination. I was bored. I felt as if a huge tsunami wave took all my gadgets and washed it away towards a world unknown. Who the heck is using my stuff? The other version of me? The one who's less.. Me-ish?!

I've had enough.. Being stuck in my little brother's room (he has a huge TV, so I hang in his room instead) is not healthy enough for me anymore. What to do, what to do?! I've had too much boredom running through my veins and it's about to take over my whole body! It's like a whole army of these tiny boredom germs are sticking to my bones and chewing them off like a mad, mad hyena munching on its main course!

I know I'm being too much on my exaggerated side. Shush up and bear with me because exaggerated I will no longer be because I've found..

SIMS 3! This game itself will save anybody from boredom, stress, and even death. Yes, death. Lmao That's why in the game, the sims could interact with dead people and even be close friends with them. Wack, right?!

So yeah, I've been playing Sims for days now. As I sit down on my comfy, lazy-boy like chair (yes, it's not the real thing), I start to play and have a truly hard time letting go of my laptop; heck, it's even as hard as trying to stop breathing! I mean, who wouldn't want to mess with the lives of others on a huge screen right in front of you? But in my case, I'm trying to picture out what my life would most likely be in the future and with who. I know you people are wondering who, where, and when? Well, you curious cats would just have to wait.. Wait until the last zit on your face pops; until the last leaf of your tree falls; until the last piece of your broken heart is restored; UNTIL THE LAST SIM OF YOUR GAME GOES BROKE.

So, to those under the same misery as I was once in, try this and regret nothing. Yes, N O T H I N G .

URQUICO'S REASONS ON WHY GUYS SHOULD DATE GIRLS WHO READ

2011-04-12T18:43:00.005+07:00

Date a Girl Who Reads
By Rosemarie Urquico

Date a girl who reads. Date a girl who spends her money on books instead of clothes. She has problems with closet space because she has too many books. Date a girl who has a list of books she wants to read, who has had a library card since she was twelve.

Find a girl who reads. You’ll know that she does because she will always have an unread book in her bag. She’s the one lovingly looking over the shelves in the bookstore, the one who quietly cries out when she finds the book she wants. You see the weird chick sniffing the pages of an old book in a second hand book shop? That’s the reader. They can never resist smelling the pages, especially when they are yellow.

She’s the girl reading while waiting in that coffee shop down the street. If you take a peek at her mug, the non-dairy creamer is floating on top because she’s kind of engrossed already. Lost in a world of the author’s making. Sit down. She might give you a glare, as most girls who read do not like to be interrupted.

Ask her if she likes the book.

Buy her another cup of coffee.

Let her know what you really think of Murakami. See if she got through the first chapter of Fellowship. Understand that if she says she understood James Joyce’s Ulysses she’s just saying that to sound intelligent. Ask her if she loves Alice or she would like to be Alice.

It’s easy to date a girl who reads. Give her books for her birthday, for Christmas and for anniversaries. Give her the gift of words, in poetry, in song. Give her Neruda, Pound, Sexton, Cummings. Let her know that you understand that words are love. Understand that she knows the difference between books and reality but by god, she’s going to try to make her life a little like her favorite book. It will never be your fault if she does.

She has to give it a shot somehow.

Lie to her. If she understands syntax, she will understand your need to lie. Behind words are other things: motivation, value, nuance, dialogue. It will not be the end of the world.

Fail her. Because a girl who reads knows that failure always leads up to the climax. Because girls who understand that all things will come to end. That you can always write a sequel. That you can begin again and again and still be the hero. That life is meant to have a villain or two.

Why be frightened of everything that you are not? Girls who read understand that people, like characters, develop. Except in the Twilight series.

If you find a girl who reads, keep her close. When you find her up at 2 AM clutching a book to her chest and weeping, make her a cup of tea and hold her.You may lose her for a couple of hours but she will always come back to you. She’ll talk as if the characters in the book are real, because for a while, they always are.

You will propose on a hot air balloon. Or during a rock concert. Or very casually next time she’s sick. Over Skype.

You will smile so hard you will wonder why your heart hasn’t burst and bled out all over your chest yet. You will write the story of your lives, have kids with strange names and even stranger tastes. She will introduce your children to the Cat in the Hat and Aslan, maybe in the same day. You will walk the winters of your old age together and she will recite Keats under her breath while you shake the snow off your boots.

Date a girl who reads because you deserve it. You deserve a girl who can give you the most colorful life imaginable. If you can only give her monotony, and stale hours and half-baked proposals, then you’re better off alone. If you want the world and the worlds beyond it, date a girl who reads.

Or better yet, date a girl who writes.

"A WALK TO REMEMBER" -BETTER LATE THAT NEVER, RIGHT?

2011-04-12T08:11:00.016+07:00

"Only Hope"- the title of one of Mandy Moore's best songs, and one of which is featured in the movie "A Walk To Remember". I was so curious as to what this movie is all about; everyone is posting loads of love-filled and kilig statuses on FB and I had no idea why. I said to myself, "I am so late! I should watch this movie to finally figure out why people are going nuts about it." And so, without much doubt, I did.
I Google-d the movie and downloaded it for my own contentment. After hours of waiting, finally! I could watch it. I prepared a box of tissues for the reason that people's comments on the movie were nothing but *sob* *sob* and more *sob*. Oh, and let's not forget on how inspirational the movie is. Moving on.. I watched the movie alone at 11:00 PM, and finished at about 12 something right after the clock striked 12 MN. Outcome? Tears, tears, and a large amount of more tears with an even larger amount of that "kilig" feeling I was thoroughly expecting.
I just find it astonishingly sweet that a guy as messed up as the one in the movie would change completely, giving up even the things he adores most and giving in to those in which he must, for the girl that was probably his last resort (when in fact, she turned out to be the perfect one). This movie inspired me a whole lot and I'm pretty sure it inspired others even more. Here's to the ones responsible for this amazing movie! *Cheers*

BARBIE TRANSFORMATION! MAKE-UP TUTORIAL & PHOTOS

2011-04-09T08:01:00.005+07:00

Okay, so a lot of people want to look like a "doll". I admit, at times I do too, but after thinking it over I'd rather look like a something else rather that a piece of plastic worth 8$ LOL JK. This look is nice.. It looks absolutely cute on people with clean faces, especially those of the height below 5- really barbie-ish. So, here's a couple of photos on how a Barbie-look would be like:

THE BEST VERSION OF "OFFICIALLY MISSING YOU"!

2011-04-06T21:16:00.003+07:00

THE FEELING OF BEING LEFT OUT? UGH.

2011-04-02T19:18:00.005+07:00

Don't you just hate it when people label you as the "black sheep of the family", or even the "outcast"? The feeling in where you just get that ultimate difficulty in breathing and the room keeps spinning around and around as if you rode a roller coaster 1 gazillion times? Then you suddenly hear voices coming from the walls as the silence tries to fight it with the strength of nothing to compete with? Oh, gosh. Isn't that hard? Doesn't that mere intro make you want to hug someone and feel wanted? Well, I know a girl who is experiencing these mixed emotions as of the moment. Why mixed, you ask? It's 'cause she can't decide whether to hold a grudge and be rebellious over it or just act as if nothing happened, as if it's an everyday routine that a typical person goes through just to keep himself alive? Sucks, I know. But what's left to do?
The worst part is if you're doing everything to reach out to your family but still there's no trace of appreciation or any other emotion that's related to gratitude and all those mushy practices normal families do to their kids just to make them feel loved. Ah, the irony. Why can't we just choose who our parents are, right? I'm not saying that I don't give significance to my family now, 'cause as I've said, this is about a girl I know- and no, it is not my shadow nor my conscience. Get it straight, okay.
I think the only solution to these problems is a mature talk, not like the ones in American films where the whole family sits in a room ant the teen says, "Mom, dad, I..", then the father butts in and says, "I knew it! Who have you been screwing?!". I mean, WTH? That is so straightforward. In a very very bad way, yes. I'm also not talking about the super duper ultra mega religious talks.. Just the average point of conversation, you know? But I guess it all depends on the parents, right? Oh, and the teen as well.. If their attitudes contradict then God have mercy on what will be the outcome of it.

PALE ASIAN + MAKE-UP = SUCH A BIG DIFFERENCE!

MOTHER NATURE TAKING ITS COURSE- JAPAN'S DEVASTATING INCIDENT

2011-03-11T18:36:00.011+07:00

It was an ordinary Friday afternoon. I was walking along the corridors, thinking on what to do for the night. My volleyball game was tomorrow and I have no idea how to survive it. My Economics grade is also a life-and-death situation, but at least this is the only thing I'm worried about. Others, unfortunately, are worried about their lives. Yes, their lives. When I say it's a life-and-death situation, I mean it. In case you guys aren't updated yet..

A certain area of Japan was attacked by an 8.9 Tsunami. An angry army of waves came about and destroyed hundreds, even thousands of houses, other buildings, boats, cars, the environment, and even the lives itself of the innocent citizens of Japan.

Why did this happen, if you may ask? I do not know. Maybe Mother Nature is taking its course and giving us a warning.

By now, I already have an idea on what we, the people of this world given to us by the Almighty Father, have been doing wrong. A good question to ask ourselves is, "What are we doing right?" Think. These things happen because of us. I know, not all of us are like this- self-centered and irresponsible, but we can do something about it. A tiny change could make a huge difference.

To the ones living in Japan and to the people all over the world with loved ones who are suffering from this very unwanted and devastating experience, my deepest and most sincere condolences to each and every one of you. May God help everyone of us by bestowing us safety and guidance.

HACHIKO: A DOG'S STORY TRAILER (A SUPER DUPER MUST-WATCH!)

2011-02-15T19:37:00.001+07:00

A NIGHT BEFORE CLASS STARTS? MAKE THE MOST OUT OF IT.

2011-01-02T16:17:00.003+07:00

It's the second of January- a day before class officially starts. As of this moment I'm constantly breathing my last breath of freedom, the last time I could wake up late and play video games all night. Yes, I play video games- guy games, specifically. Surprised? You should be.
Spongebob is on TV. Oh, joy! At least I could watch my favorite show, other than the 90's cartoons I, with so much effort, stay up late just to watch (Late as in 12 MN-4 AM late), before I get busy with stress. I'm in my parent's strangely-sophisticated room with my Achi and Shobe, that's big and little sister in chinese (So, now I'm giving Chinese lessons? Lol) while munching on some cereal. I got no food. The food in the room I'm in now isn't mine, and I don't want to steal it from others. O:-) Anyway, it stopped raining. I really enjoy the relaxing sounds of the raindrops pouring down on the rooftop and on my window. It makes me feel good, plus it sets the mood to write another post or edit some new photos.
So yeah, tonight I'll be making dessert and helping my mom and the maid here cook dinner. I can't say I know how to cook that well 'cause all I know is how to heat and cook egg. Haha. This is so wrong for a girl like me, but I do know how to help bake and cook some other dishes. Dessert? You can count on me! :) I take that back about the NOT knowing how to cook.. I'm just playing with ya.
i guess this all ends here. I have to go finish watching this new, lame Spongebob episode. The old ones are better. Call me a kid or a spoiled, choosy brat. I don't care. Hee. :3

THE START OF MY 2011 ISN'T THAT GREAT AT ALL.

2011-01-02T12:25:00.012+07:00

Okay, so I slept at about 1:12 AM this morning and woke up at around 09:59 AM; I slept for about 9 hours and it feels good! I haven't slept this long for a super long while. Now, why did I sleep this late? I was reading this amazing book, "The Swan Thieves" by Elizabeth Kostova while listening to the soothing voice of my hero, Regina Spektor. Oh, how her voice makes me want to have a bunch of new resolutions again and break them all on the long run, anyway.
My morning was just like any other- Boring and seko. The rain poured down so hard that it made the windows of my spacious room wet and foggy as I try to look out and spot my dog, who's very very weak as of the moment. It makes me sad to even think about dogs this time. :"( Bubbles, my dog, has been with me for about 10 years now and throughout that long period I've had my fair share of ignorance with her and I know that wasn't right at all. It hurts- I don't care if people would say I'm crazy to be crying over an animal. I'LL KICK THEIR BUTTS ONE BY ONE. Try me.

The thought of having my first day of duty tomorrow which is in the first week that school officially starts makes me weak. I'm getting used to lying down in my bed and not caring on what will happen next. I don't want to go to school yet. I really don't! But what's left to do? I can't magically change the date or schedule of classes, heck I can't even to a simple "sip-sip" to pass my requirements late! I suck at that. Sometimes it works, but for the reasons that are much appreciated and honest. I don't do that "My dog ate my homework!" rubbish. Okay, 'til then.. Oh, and here's a photo from my HS days at SJS. I still do this thing 'til now- Sleeping. Toodles!

NEW YEAR, NEW LIFE. WAIT, SERIOUSLY?

2010-12-29T07:00:00.006+07:00

Don't you just love that "I'll be a better person" feeling every time we reach Dec 31-Jan 1? Well, I do. I always say this line in even the most inappropriate times. Now, saying this is easy! The real challenge is putting these words into total actions. Can I? Well, my hopes are high- high in having these resolutions unmet. Will I? Well, there's no harm in trying, right? Should I? Well, of course! I mean, is that even a question?!
The clock is ticking as fast as ever as I await the strike of 12 MN; here I come, 2011! The whole new Trisha is on her way! Could I keep this up? Actually, none of my resolutions have been written down on paper yet, not even in my head! Wait, I do have one- DIET. Lose about 5kg and color my hair light brown as well. Cool, huh? I'll try to accomplish these asap! Darn it, I need to lose weight! The evil voices saying "More, more, more!" whenever I eat something heavy will never win over me again! Haha! I am so unbelievable. Lol
As priceless as my inner thoughts are on random things as of the moment, so are my, cross that out, OUR resolutions. Just the mere fact that we actually have the intention of achieving these resolutions will help us a lot with the molding of the new us, the new human beings we always dreamt of being as, and NO, we can't be Megan Fox or James Bond, but we could be ourselves with a lot of twists that will make us as eye-catching and exciting as they are. Right? ;)

UNPREPARED DANCE @ MY BESTFRIEND, TINA'S DEBUT

A BOOK, A PEN, AND A TROUBLED MIND

2010-12-26T18:26:00.010+07:00

It was approximately 2:45 in the afternoon, the clouds were as gray as the shirt I willingly bought for about 249.50 php- Hey, this is already a sweet deal for a shirt as classy-looking as the one I wore; and the people who're surrounding me at the NAIA waiting area were busy and noisy as ever, and I stared into blank space as if I were some blind, retarded person waiting for someone brave to talk to her. I was bothered and I didn't like it one bit! Not one bit.
It was an hour before we had to board on the plane, I wanted to go home, and at the same time my mind was selfishly asking me, well, more like commanding me, to step back, refund whatever I could, and find some quiet place to think and be in peace. My mind felt really troubled like a worker who's working overtime for days and doesn't know how to handle himself. I was weak; I was very very weak and I don't know how to live it down. This wasn't the usual me, and to top it all off the people who were with me in the plane back home were very annoying and only about 20% of them had the manners that would help me get uplifted and feel better. Bummer.
Finally, it was boarding time! I packed up my things and held on to my laptop bag and my knapsack as if all of the people around me were thieves. You can't be too sure, you know. Anyways, I got on the plane and sat near the isle 'cause I didn't want to risk sitting near someone else who'd make my day worse. I was easily irritated that time and I really hated seeing other people staring at me. It annoyed me a lot more than usual. So, there I was.. Seated and held on to this book I just bought at NBS and it was awesome! Hands down, Elizabeth Kostova. Hands down.
The flight back home took about 2 hours! Longer than usual. I didn't really like the crew on that plane that time; they seemed very impolite and boring. Lol
Finally, Zamboanga, here I am! I quietly yelled in my mind, with a blend of excitement and depression. I was still weak and bothered, still hoping for the best to happen in a few days tops.

A TASTE OF FREEDOM WITH A LOT OF SPENDING!

2010-12-20T20:58:00.004+07:00

It's the 20th of December, 2010, I feel weary as I lazily lifted my left arm to check the time, and noticed I wasn't wearing any watch. What an idiot. So I turned to my laptop and realized it was already 10:01 PM- 7 hours left and I'm off to Manila. Pocket money? Check! Clothes packed? Check! Ticket? Check! Mood? Neah.. Okay, I'm good to go.
I've got a lot in mind on what to spend my money on! Clothes, shoes, a little something something for certain people, and some necessities for myself, as well. Hey, I need stuff for myself, too, you know! So, that's just about it. I don't even know how much I'll be spending when I get there, but one thing's for sure, I won't be any kuripot when it comes to food! No one goes on a diet on holidays! :D
So, that's just about it, for now. I'll update you guys when I get back in 5 days. 'Til then, keep on showing some love and God bless! Merry Xmas!

RAINBOW HAIR COLOR? ONE WORD- AWESOME!

ROYGBIV- Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet. Everyone must be educated with this very popular acronym. The colors of the rainbow cautiously reflect my personality, as to how my hair reflects how long my patience is. (So you must think I have a loooooot of patience, huh?)

Being in style isn't merely the absence of.. Wait, I'm being too deep. Let's just say that I got bored with my long, black hair and want to spice it up a bit. Why not? Well, nothing much. It's just that I'm a sophomore under the course of nursing in the Ateneo de Zamboanga University and I don't think dyeing my hair would be that appropriate. Plus, it's forbidden. So, yah. Bye-bye high hopes on being the center of attention. Lol
While lying down in my semi-soft bed which is full of pillows, wait, I only have two.. Anyways, while I was preparing to sleep, I had a vision. What did I see, if you might ask? I SAW MYSELF WALKING AROUND TOWN WITH HAIR JUST LIKE THE ONE YOU SEE IN THIS PHOTO I ATTACHED ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THIS POST. How did I look? Uh.. Awesome! Partly like a lunatic, but more on the awesomeness. I was on fire! People were like, "Who is that?", and one was like, "She must have gotten out from a scary facility exclusive for people who are way beyond normal.".
BUT I've come to the decision that I would stick to my old hair style. Long, black, and classy. I do NOT want to trim my hair. I want long hair simply because I look good in it and it makes me look thinner. Haha. Cool, ei? Well, that's all. I'll just keep on dreaming and dreaming and.. Oh, eating too.

BEING SICK ISN'T ALL BAD. I THINK.

2010-12-05T14:38:00.005+07:00

Don't you just hate it when you wake up so early in the morning and can't go to sleep again? The feeling of being so weak that you can't even stand up and pee, even if you really wanted to? Wow, this reminds me of the time I was a kid. My best friend was holding it in, then she was walking in an X position. That was so funny. Then.. Oh, wait. I'm getting so out of topic.

Yesterday I was lying in bed with my sick brother. His hair uncombed, eyes as red as that cute ribbon I used last night during the Alumni Home Coming, and a voice as wrecked as a 100 year old building with no maintenance. Oh, how I really pity him, and at the same time a bit cautious of getting the same disease he has- the flu, with his eyes all watery that it shines against the light, thought I can't observe it much because he forces them to close, as I see those cute little wrinkles on each side of his eye. Whoa, man. I'm sort of pointing out that being sick is a good thing. Well, it kind of is. Kind of.

That night while he was asleep, I sneezed. OH-MY-GOSH. And after that, I sneezed again, and again, and.. Okay, that's it. I just ignored it, as to maybe the dust that was wandering across my room was to blame, but then it hit me! I felt all dizzy, yet not as dizzy as experiencing vertigo, of course. That's a little too off. I was like, okay, this is nothing. This will fade soon enough.

The next day, my voice changed and my vision got a bit blurry. What's happening?! I was sick. I drank medicine q4 as what he advised *blush* and I was expecting everything to be alright.

I LOVE BEING SICK. You read that right, people. I LOVE IT. You get anything you want, even though you asked it with arrogance and demand, yet I'm not saying I'm like that, okay? Just saying. Downside of it is that I can't go out and I eat eat eat until I gain enough weight to make me as fat as those black women in comedy shows I see on TV. Oh well, at least I'm feeling a little better now. I'll update you when I get entirely well. ;)

I don't know why I even posted this.. Maybe I was just too bored that I solemnly needed to blab about what's going on in my body. Lol

THE TORMENT OF MISSING SOMEONE

2010-12-05T10:36:00.008+07:00

Tik-tok, tik-tok goes the clock. I have no idea on why I've been staring at it for the past hour. The feeling of being with you has been engraved in my heart, and now that I'm not in that scenario anymore, I'm miserable and in need of your presence. :( I miss you...

IF YOU GOSSIP, READ THIS (REPOST FROM MY FB)

2010-12-04T14:17:00.015+07:00

As you walk along the corridors each and every morning at school, do people stop and stare? Do you suddenly hear whispers and get the feeling that eyes are all over you? Do you get that tense and heavy feeling, as if you just ran a thousand km just to get so sweaty that you suddenly get the idea that you've lost a lot? (I know, it's all crap). Well, you're not alone.

I don't get it. I know someone of great achievements and amazing personality, but, as we all possess, flaws and actions of regret come about once again. I know you get my point, even though you haven't read the whole note yet. People make a biggy big deal on 'her' negatives rather than the positives. They spread rumors, not only the one they've heard of, but something a bit more.. More in a sense that it just became a little, no, scratch that- a LOT worse. Where does this lead us to? Shame on her, shame on him, shame on you and me. Shame on us all.

And after doing all the chitter chatter to other people, what if 'she' found out? Confrontations. Yep, you got that right. This will lead to ego issues, then your voices will tone up, then the next thing you know? You've got a whole crowd up and running just to do the thing you did, and make your reputation a wreck as well.

I hope this will serve as a tool to make people realize that gossip won't make you any prettier, smarter, or even famous, for that matter. It will only prove that insecurity runs in every single vein in your body, and that neither you nor the victim (but when you really think about it, both are victims) are safe. Think about it.

I DON'T NEED A BIG BRAND- IT NEEDS ME. ;)

2010-12-04T07:10:00.021+07:00

Pretty wack title, ey? Well, it's true. Some might see me as someone who's very brand conscious just because I do modeling and stuff. I'd LOVE to break it to you- I'm not. ;)

I mean, what's the use of having super expensive and cool clothes and accessories when you don't even know how to use them? Gucci, Lacoste, Prada, and all those brands mean nothing if you don't know how to strut your stuff! Trust me, I know.

But I must agree that having expensive belongings might make you feel good about yourself; it might even make you feel very much prettier than usual, but take note on this fact:

"True beauty lies within."

I was really shocked when I found out that my rich, "sossy" cousin wore accessories that were worth 25 pesos each. Can you believe that? I was really expecting them to be worth thousands! So, now do you get my point? Brand isn't everything. You should just know how to present yourself to others decently and nothing will go wrong, but don't overdo it! That's another story.

GOODBYE, MODELING. HELLO, JOURNALISM!

2010-12-03T14:17:00.011+07:00

I got too caught up with the clothes, the walks, the photo shoots, and all the freebies! And because of that, I've neglected my other hobbies, especially journalism. Now, I'm bringing it back!

BREAKING DAWN TEASER TRAILER! ♥

2010-12-03T09:29:00.005+07:00

LET'S START OFF WITH THE BASICS, MKAY?

2010-12-02T08:12:00.007+07:00

A L L A B O U T M E

I'm a kid. :3

My friends call me by different names.

Acquaintances? Trish will be fine. My chinese name is Guo Li Sha though, but it would be tiring to add 2 more syllables. For my full name, scroll up.

My dad is a Filipino while my mom is Chinese. So, what does that leave me? I look and act weird. I must be an alien. "Meep-meep!"

I stand 5'7 tall and am so freaking proud of it. To my sister who's 3 years younger than me, "You will never be taller! Nawh, jk. You're already as tall as me. Darn it."

BUT I'M STILL PRETTIER THAN HER. >:) Blame my mom. She knows ev-uh-ry-thang!

I've been breathing unconsciously since the 20th of November, 1992. It gets tiring sometimes. You feel me? No? Okay. I understand.

I'm not that night-club-dancing-q

ueen-"sosyalera" whatever type of girl. I don't even know where Catribo is. Okay, I do. But I've never been there. Lmao.

If I look snobish in my photos and in person, well, I'm not. Slight. I don't know. Don't pressure me! Talk to me and find out.

:3 <- (See? I just smiled!) It's assured that I'm the most random person you knew, you know, and will know. I say things I don't mean, but that doesn't mean I'm mentally challenged. Like, duh? ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ! OMG I know the letters of the alphabet!

Food? That's my language! I love it. You could see it in me, anyway. Lol Italian, Chi, Jap, and Fil foods are awesome. *Drools*

LISTEN! *Silence* I'm not the biggest fan of sweets. *Please gasp* I prefer salty food. Not all the time, though. But, yeah. You get my point. I eat.

I'm into a lot of stuff. I dance 'til I get the feeling that I've lost 10 pounds.

Do I sing? Yeah, but prepare lots of tissues 'cause your ears will surely bleed. I also do graphic art. I'm a "Jackie Chan follower"- you got that right, I know a lil' somethin'2 'bout martial arts. I write and read, too.. Anything involving literature. ♥

I breathe and walk, too. Is that counted?

Only fools possess no friends. I belong to two "barkadas". One is composed of my HS sweethearts and we call ourselves STAR. The other one is formed just this 2009 and we call ourselves ATIGNERAM. Figure it out.

..Did I mention on how much I love those people?

I belong to the Q/KUE-USMAN family. I know, K and Q aren't really identical, but we're still related. Ask our parents.

I love music. Who doesn't? I bet it's only my dog, Bubbles; who's a dachshund btw. I love her. She has a couple of outfits- the polkadotted ones are the best! ♥
Sad, though.. She's about as old as me. I mean.. She's been with us for 10 years now. 10 years, man! Can you believe it?!

I am not a smoker. I am not a drinker. I am not YOU.

People who love me are smart.

People who talk sh*t about me behind my back are filthy...Uh...Stop it, Trish. That's mean.

Okay, I told myself to make about more or less 5 paragraphs only. I'm not tired yet, plus I've got 11% of energy left. I'll be kind enough and use it all up for you. Yes, you.

I'm not that typical "kikay" that boys expect from girls who go to school with a shoulder bag and a cute clip holding their hair up. I prefer the term "simple".

I'm a bookworm. The type of maggot that reads anything that starts with the word "The". Creepy.

WTF I forgot about my education. I'm currently a sophomore under the course of nursing at ADZU. It's so stressful, but it's worth it. *Sob* LOL

By the way, don't ask me about my love life. I'll just smile and hurt you physically. Figure it out. Tik-tok! Curious, huh?

Oh, crap! You drained my energy to -2%! I'm fading! I'm fading! No...

*Scribble3*

"I hope this revision will last for a longer period than the last one. It's tiring to come up with another. Thanks!" -Trish-who-just-evaporated
