Short hair for 2012!

2012-01-22T02:30:00.000-08:00

I have been battling for over a month now whether to cut my hair short or have it permed. Since my budget is so tight that I can not afford to perm my hair, I just decided to chop 8 inches of my long, bedroom hair.

The stylist even asked me, "Ganito kaikli? Sigurado ka?" I even wanted it shorter! But I'm satisfied with the result. You know the one good thing I really like about having a short hair? You won't be needing a comb anymore, it's like wash and go. Hahaha!

Oh, by the way, I created a 366 project. You guys can visit that since I update that everyday (because I feel obliged, lol!) Aaaaand, I'm turning a year older next Monday!

'Tis the season to be jolly

2011-12-28T05:06:00.000-08:00

Fa lala lala la la lala.

It really is! Because...

I got a new laptop! I know that's a box but I swear inside is a red HP Mini 110. LOL. Bought it last December 27 at SM Sucat. Was contemplating between getting a new laptop or a DSLR and obviously, I chose to get a laptop. I will be paying this for the next 12 mos (meaning extra kuripot me for the next 12 mos). Hoping to get a Nikon D3100 or D500 by mid 2012. And I think Pop's gonna get me a white iTouch because he's been asking me a lot about it. I hope I didn't jinx it by sharing it here. Hahaha! 2012 shall be a good one!

So are you spending the remaining holidays?

And oh, Yanni's greeting you all a happy holidays as well!

Quote of The Day

2011-12-15T02:55:00.000-08:00

From Coach Carter

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine as children do. It's not just in some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own lights shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.

TGIAF!

Thank God it's Adver Friday!

Friday is now officially my favorite day because 1) My class starts at 10:30 which means I don't have to deal with the traffic + I'll have longer sleep 2) Advertising class with Sir Gabs

My professor is 62 years old and he likes artists like Adele, Bruno Mars, Metallica. Before we start each session, he plays the latest RnB songs. Gah, he's so adorable he doesn't even look (and feel!) like he's already in his early 60s. He's also the reason why I'm switching interest from Broad Journ to Adver.

5 weeks have passed and I am really enjoying and learning a lot from this class. Stress buster, indeed. Looking forward for the remaining three months!

2011-11-14T00:33:00.000-08:00

This sem will be probably the most toxic sem I will ever have. Well, maybe not because I'll be a junior next year. But hey, I'm back to 7:30am classes + heavy subjects. I have two term papers to do this sem (for Filipino2 and Communication Arts 2) and ~~three~~ four majors subjects - Advertising + Public Relations, Journalism, Writing for Mass Media, and NSTP. Actually in St. Scho, NSTP is considered as a major subject.

I have good profs so far. We actually have great profs in our department. Ang reklamo lang naman ng lahat eh yung GE profs.. Lol, anyway. I'm still trying to figure out how to survive my 7:30am classes. The morning hours and I are just not friends. I've never liked the morning, and the morning certainly doesn't like me. But I think I have to lessen my time on the interwebz and sleep earlier than usual.

2nd sem, let's get it on! Two more sems to minor track!

AQUINO COJUANGCO: FACTS THEY DONT WANT YOU TO KNOW

2011-11-07T00:12:00.000-08:00

After watching this video, you must read this.

The Bestfriend is Now 18!

2011-11-06T08:15:00.000-08:00

I was probably as excited as the debutant. Ladies and gents, my bestfriend is now eighteen years gorgeous! Yes, her tibo days are over.

I glammed myself at about 4:30 in the afternoon because my guy friends will fetch my at 6, program will start at 7pm. I waited for Erickson and Adrian for more than an hour, we left home at around 7:30 in the evening, and arrived at the venue (Sofitel Philippine Plaza) at 8:20. I shouldn't be late, we shouldn't be late. Me and Erickson were supposed to sing while the debutant is being introduced and them boys were part of the cotillion. We messed up, really. But anyway..

We were still able to sing the piece we practiced for like 2 hours. Haha! A remix of Just The Way You Are and Teenage Dream. I think we did pretty well. ;) And yes, that's the debutant, my bestfriend. Photo by Ishay Riva.

With my sistar, Cami who is also a stunner.

With Ishay and Cami.

Trying to imitate Kate's pose.

Kathleen (the last time I saw her was during our HS graduation!) and Jennifer, matching gowns huh!

After party was held at Amber but I didn't come because I didn't want to stay up partying until the morning + it's Sunday the next day.

To this lady, I love how you and I give each other the full support in everything that we do. I love how opposite we are and yet we still find something that entangles us. I love the fact that we are bestfriends, even though we don't get to see and talk to each other every single day. I love how you make me feel that I am me. You make me feel like I'm living a teenage dream, and you're amazing just the way you are :)

The One That Got Away

2011-11-05T20:31:00.000-07:00

I've always wondered what this fragment means. Then saw this article in some random site (no information about the author) and made me realize that "he's the one that got away". Oh no, scratch that. So here's about THAT one that got away. (Hanggang ilan ba ang the ONE that got away?)

In your life, you’ll make note of a lot of people.

The one with whom you shared something special, the one who will always mean something. There’s the one you first kissed, the one you first loved, the one you lost your virginity to, the one you put on a pedestal, the one you’re with…and the one that got away.

Who is the one that got away? I guess it’s that person with who everything was great, everything was perfect, but the timing was just wrong.

There was no fault in the person, there was no flaw in the chemistry, but the cards just didn’t fall the right way, I suppose.

I believe in the fact that ending up with someone, finding a longtime partner that is, does not lie merely in the other person.

I can actually argue that an equal part, or maybe even the greater part, has to do with the matter of timing. It has to do with you being ready to settle down and commit to someone in a way that goes beyond the little niceties of giddy romance.

How often have you gone through it without even realizing it?

When you’re not ready to commit in that mature manner, it doesn’t matter who you’re with, it just doesn’t work. Small problems become big; inconsequentials become deal breakers simply because you’re not ready and it shows. It’s not that you and the person you’re with are no good; it’s just that it’s not yet right, and little things become the flashpoint of that fact.

Then one day you’re ready. You really are. And when this happens you’ll be ready to settle down with someone. He or she may not be the most perfect, they might not be the brightest star of romance to ever have burned in your life, but it’ll work because you’re ready. It’ll work because it’s the right time and you’ll make it work.

And it’ll make sense, it really will.

So that day comes when you’re finally making sense of things, and you find yourself to be a different person. Things are different, your approach is different, you finally understand who you are and what you want, and you’ve become ready because the time has truly arrived. And mind you, there’s no telling when this day will come. Hopefully you’re single but you could be in a long-term relationship, you could be married with three kids, it doesn’t matter. All you know is that you’ve changed, and for some reason, the one that got away, is the first person you think about.

You’ll think about them because you’ll wonder, “What if they were here today?” You’ll wonder, “What if we were together now, with me as I am and not as I was?” That’s what the one that got away is. The biggest “What if?” you’ll have in your life.

If you’re married, you’ll just have to accept the fact that the one that got away, got away. Believe me, no matter how fairy tale you think your marriage is, this can happen to the best of us.

But hopefully you’re mature enough to realize that you’re already with the one you’re with and this is just another test of your commitment, one which will just strengthen your marriage when you get past it. Sure, you’ll think about him/her every so often, but it’s alright. It’s never nice to live with a “might have been,” but it happens.

Maybe the one that got away is the one who’s already married. In which case it’s the same thing. You just have to accept and know that your memories of that person will probably bring a nice little smile to your lips in the future when you’re old and gray and reminiscing.

But if neither of that is the case, then it’s different. What do you do if it’s not yet too late? Simple…find him, find her.

Because the very existence of a “one that got away” means that you’ll always wonder, what if you got that one?

Ask him out to coffee, ask her out to a movie, it doesn’t matter if you’ve dropped in from out of nowhere. You’d be surprised, you just might be “the one that got away” as well for the person who is your “the one that got away.”

You might drop in from out of nowhere and it won’t make a difference. If the timing is finally right, it’ll all just fall into place somehow and you know, I’m thinking, it would be a great feeling, in the end, to be able to say to someone, “Hey you, you’re the one that almost got away.”

This Thing About "Love" and the Interwebz

2011-11-03T07:28:00.000-07:00

If you're following me on Twitter, you probably have an idea how much I tweet every single day. Last night, I retweeted Ramon Bautista's tweet : Madalas, tigang ka lang kaya pakiramdam mo gusto mo ng lovelife. And I added : Sa totoo lang, hindi ko talaga alam ibig sabihin ng tigang. I am weak when it comes to Filipino vocabulary, believe me. All along I thought tigang = dry. I even tried to google translate it. But my friends replied on my tweet and said : tigang means horny but have no one to have sex with. And I was like, really? Yun pala yun.

I've been reading Ramon Bautista's tweets and blogs and formspring questions these past few days and noticed that he's been saying hohol and momol a lot. So I asked on Twitter what these two words mean. Apparently, momol = make out make out lang and hohol = hang out hang out lang. Hahahaaha! I feel so inosente not knowing these words. And an "ate" of mine replied, "ayan ka na naman! Mag boyfriend ka na para maintindihan mo!"

Hahahahahahaha! I'm still laughing my lungs out until now. Oh, how the interwebz influence my life.

Debut Parties = Butas Bulsa

2011-11-01T07:49:00.000-07:00

My 2011 is pretty much about attending debut parties since this is our year.

Erickson, Kevin, me, Kate, Cami, Adrian and Antoinette. I'm a January baby so I guess that explains that I was the first who turned 18 in our highschool batch. Well not really cause some of us were born in December 1992. Gown by Tina Diaz, hair and make-up by Edwin Samot

February - one of my closest friends in Benilde invited us to have dinner at their home. With Jha (the birthday girl), Dianne, and her boyfriend Rupert. Floral dress from Mom's cabinet, hah!

Irene's birthday bash at MOA. We had a super late dinner at Shakey's, ordered two monster meal deal and a lot of desserts. This time, I was with my classmates in senior high school - Irene the birthday girl, Janeen, Loraine, Aila and Nadine.

March - Janeen's turn! She is one of my treasured friends in highschool, and I really miss her. She left for California last October.

April - Cay's Luau (kuno) party. I have gorgeous friends, I know. Plaid dress I bought at Robinson's, hair extensions from my friend Patricia.

June - Aila in Wonderland. One of the best debuts I've attended. We were asked to wear white and a head dress since it is Wonderland. With my Bs Patrica and Loraine. Dress from Genevieve Gozum, caged booties from C2 Women and head dress given by Tin which she bought at Divisoria.

July - Dianne's Cosa Nostra. I missed my blockmates in Benilde so much that I didn't want the night to end.

One of my bestfriends in elementary also turned 18. Childhood moments <3

October - Confessions of a Rockeeholic, still with my beautiful highschool friends. Dress to impress daw, I think I did pretty well? Hihi. Thrifted leopard dress (yes, I bought it for P80 only!!) and caged booties. This was the most bongga debut I've ever seen, well so far since my bestfriend is about to turn 18 this Saturday!

My favorite thing about attending debuts aside from the unlimited food is of course, the photobooth. Plus, I get the chance to bond with my friends. This is the only way I know how to make up for my missing social life. But on the other side.. Of course it would be really nakakahiya to attend a party and not give a gift to the celebrant. I do exert effort (and money, huhu!) in giving gifts because I know the giddy feeling when you open bunch of gifts. It's heaven, I swear.

I think I should post a separate entry about my 18th birthday? Hmm. Can't believe I'm turning 19 (omg last teenage year) in two months! Time flies really fast.

Gandang Gabi Vice!

2011-10-31T08:41:00.000-07:00

September 21, 2011

We went to ABS-CBN not only because it is a requirement but because we also want to have a good time. I tried very best to have our group booked for the taping. I tried to contact GGV through Twitter, talked to Vice Ganda and the show's audience coordinator. Thank God everything worked out really well!

Vice is really tall!

Daniel, Diego and Neil

I only have few pictures because we were not allowed to take pictures in the studio, and I think I was really lazy and hungry then. We were at the studio at 4PM, the taping started 15 mins before 5 and ended at 9pm. Sinong hindi magugutom at mauuhaw? Ney and I hurriedly walked to the nearest McDonald's and ate our dinner. And hurriedly ate to be able to catch the MRT.

Aside from the three guys from Grown Up (or is it Growing Up?), the guests were Noli de Castro, Toni Gonzaga and Chiz Escudero. This was aired last September 25, 2011 but Chiz' episode was shown a week after.

Please believe me that the show Gandang Gabi Vice is x 8179103 funnier when you're watching live. I hope to visit the next again next time!

FM Radio Stations Tour

2011-10-31T07:37:00.001-07:00

Part of our requirement in our subject Principles of Mass Communication is to visit an FM/AM radio station and a TV show/station. We wrote a letter to Manila Broadcasting Company and asked permission if we can visit Easy Rock, one of their radio stations. MBC was very kind that they actually toured us in all the stations they handle - Yes FM, Love Radio, Easy Rock, Radyo Natin.

Of course I have this obligatory photo. LOL!

While waiting, Divine fishtail'd my hair. I am suddenly missing my loooong hair. Yes, had my hair cut (finally!) last week.

With my classmates Cess, Nadine and Ney.

With my groupmates and two of Yes FM's DJ - Maria Maldita and the other DJ. Please forgive me cause I really can't remember her name :|

Missy Hista, the very witty DJ of Love Radio. She asked us to wait until she goes on air and she said, "wag kang magtaka kung ang ex mo ay napunta sa kaibigan mo. Saan nga ba napupunta ang mga basura? Eh di sa plastic. Sabi yan ng mga KULASITAS na nandito." And she asked us to say hi. Kulasitas because we're small daw :| Hahaaha!

Justin Taylor! We were so starstruck with his voice!

It was fun talking to the DJs of these three radio stations. We found out that it is not them who pick the songs but the playlister. Their main goal is to not have a dead-air and to completely entertain their listeners. Some of them prepare their scripts but others really do well in adlibs.

To be a disk jockey, you have to pass the audition and interview. According to these DJs, voice is not that important anymore, but rather, the humor, and how well you deliver your adlibs, and of course your character.

This exposure to radio production makes me want to minor in Broadcast Journalism. I think this will be my dream job since my first love is music. Although I want to minor in PrintJourn too because I want to work in a travel magazine to travel, of course. Haha! Two more sems before my minor track!

Our Culture. Our Pride. Our Art.

2011-10-31T07:22:00.001-07:00

Last August 25, 2011, I got the chance to witness Manilart 2011, a Philippine International Art Fair that was held at NBC Tent, Bonifacio Global City. There were several galleries that showcased artworks in a conceptualized art exhibit.

So I will share some of my favorite artworks, although I think I like everything in the gallery. Sorry I can't mention the artist, I lost every data that I had. Sad, I know.

This alien was created by no other than Leeroy New.

It is amazing that we Filipinos are very gifted when it comes to arts. It's a little disappointing though that our government pays a little attention to it.

These are the booklets that were given to us during the convention. Watch out for Manilart 2012!

Ang Sayaw Ng Dalawang Kaliwang Paa

2011-10-27T06:11:00.000-07:00

Dennis (Rocco Nacino) and Marlon (Paulo Avelino) are students of Karen (Jean Garcia) in her literature class. Marlon stalked Karen and found out that she's a choreographer and dance teacher. He enrolled in Karen's dance class and tried to impress her so he asked Dennis' help, who apparently assists at the studio.

The two men grew closer and became intimate friends as they practice dance routines. Dennis shows a little affection to Marlon, while Marlon has his full attention on his professor and dance teacher Karen.

Karen found out that Marlon rents the dance studio after class and asks Dennis to tutor him so he can perform well in the dance class. Marlon felt betrayed over Dennis telling Karen. After that incident, Karen noticed the coldness between the two men so she asked the both of them to help her out at a cotillion and to audition for a Panay epic Humadapnon.

This made Dennis and Marlon inspired to work together again. They auditioned with their own interpretation of a literary piece and eventually got the main roles for Humadapnon.

The film was a complete form of art and culture. It fused literature, dance and music to present a complex love triangle. The dance was uniquely Filipino although there were some scenes that consumed too much time on dance routines only. The literature and poetry were perfect, as well as the music.

"Ang Sayaw Ng Dalawang Kaliwang Paa" was directed by Alvin Yapan under Vim Yapan/Alem Chua Production in Cooperation with BIGTOP Media Productions, Inc. and Far Eastern University.

The movie will be shown in selected theaters starting October 26, 2011.

The Invasion of Zombadings

2011-10-27T05:57:00.001-07:00

I watched Zombadings 1: Patayin sa Shokot si Remington last September 1, 2011 at Gateway with my mass comm batchmates. This was the closing film of this year's Cinemalaya.

The story starts with a boy named Remington who kept on teasing gay people. Until one day, he and his mom went to the cemetery and Remington was being his usual naughty self when he saw a middle-aged gay. He cursed Remington and said that he will be gay in the future.

When Remington reached his teenage years, he noticed a change in his physical appearance and sexual preference. The town where he lives was disturbed by a killer of gay people through the use of a gaydar. The only thing that Remington can do to get rid of the curse is to find someone who will be willing enough to be gay.

The movie was incredibly funny. I laughed my lungs out during the "hagdan scene". It's an undeniable fact that gays are condemned in the society but this movie speaks for gays' rights in an entertaining and witty way. Also, the movie helped us to appreciate and understand the gay community even more. Now I am patiently waiting for part 2!

Charoterang isprikitik! Umappear ka vahkler!

Super Bass Acoustic Cover

2011-10-23T20:33:00.000-07:00

My version of Super Bass. I'm still trying to figure out how to play the rap version like Karmin's. Please excuse my hair and face, I just got up from my bed. LOL!

Jawbreaker Day IV

2011-10-23T08:03:00.000-07:00

Being an avid fan of burgers, I've always wanted to try Zark's most famous Jaw breaker.

Triple cheeseburger with spam, bacon and overflowing cheese sauce on top. The burger costs P250 but if you finish it in 5 minutes, it's free!

Last July 27, 2011, Zark's Burgers scheduled their Jawbreaker Day IV. I promised my cousin to treat her to Starbucks when Dallas Mavericks won the NBA finals. But I said that we should try Jawbreaker instead. During Jawbreaker days, the burger will be P100 off. Imagine, you only have to pay P150 for this 6-inches heavenly burger + fries + iced tea! So I asked my cousin, my brother, and her girlfriend to go to Taft at 12 noon.

The fun part was.. boys were not allowed to use fork and knife. EAT WITH YOUR HANDS.

This, I shall call the suicide burger. I was not able to finish it because my tummy was acting up that day so I paid additional P50 for take away. I shall wait for the Jawbreaker VI and prepare thy tummy.

You can visit Zark's Burgers at 2nd floor Archer's Nook Building, Taft Avenue, in front of De La Salle University.

P.S.

Their barbeque rum sauce is really good!

Cinemalaya 2011

2011-10-23T07:34:00.000-07:00

This year's Cinemalaya opened last July 15, 2011 with 13 competing films. The opening film Maskara, a movie about the late Johnny Del Gado's life was directed by Laurice Guillen. And the closing film Zombadings was a hit even in the mainstream cinema.

Our professor tasked us to watch one film and do a movie review about it. I originally planned to watch Ang Babae Sa Septic Tank but the tickets were sold out already. Me and my friend settled for Ang Sayaw Ng Dalawang Kaliwang Paa since the screening time was the most convenient for our schedules. Will post a seperate entry for the movie review.

Went to the opening with my masscomm batchmates.

With Direk Joel Lamangan and my classmate, Irish.

We also got the chance to visit CCP's museum and who would forget the controversial "Kulo" of Mideo Cruz? I have to say that his artwork is beautiful. Art is not meant for everybody to understand, that may be the reason why a lot of Filipinos are condemning him for his artwork.

If I had the time and money, I'd want to watch every film in the Cinemalaya. This year was really a huge success for indie film makers. If I'm not mistaken, four films from this year's Cinemalaya already conquered the mainstream and were very successful. I am getting even more excited for the next years of Cinemalaya!

1st sem is over!

2011-10-23T07:23:00.000-07:00

I am really sorry for not udpating this blog. I've been terribly busy with school. 1st sem of my 2nd year life was really, really stressful. I need to find time to update this blog even during school days.

Now I don't know where to start blogging. I had bunch of activities these past few months but I think I'll start with my Cinemalaya experience.

In case you still want to be updated, you can follow me on Twitter @ilycandice. I'm on Twitter 24/7. Hahaha!

I Miss You, Babies

2011-08-02T05:46:00.000-07:00

Wow, it's been almost two months since I last updated my blog. I've been very, very busy with school these days. Book fair at Megamall, Cinemalaya, NSTP exposure trip are some of the many activities I did for the past two months. I will update soon, hopefully after our midterms.

But I just want to share this right now because I really, really miss my babies.

This is Clark and Hayley, sheepdogs that were given by our aunty. Clark is 3 years old and Hayley is 2. Hayley got lost after a couple of months giving birth. Clark tried to get out of his cage while we were in Tagaytay, and we never found him again.

What I really miss about these two dogs is that they're very sweet. When they see you cry, or when you are sick that you cough until your lungs come out, they'll go near you, to check if you're okay. Sometimes they even kiss you.

Clark serves us my alarm clock in the morning, especially during summer. He enters my room, goes up in my bed and lick me. Although Clark is very sutil and suplado, he's very protective. We're safe as long as we know he's here with us.

Hayley's the sweetest girl. I always carry her even if she's gone big already, lalo na when she got pregnant. He's very childish and maharot. She gave birth to 8 cute babies but now we only have Hachi because we sell the other puppies. She's my kadamay when I cry at night.

I really, really miss these two. This photo was taken when I was eating pancake in my room and they wanted to have some. Hachi, the son of Clark and Hayley resembles them so much. We'll have a new pup this week, probably. And enough of the sheepdogs already cause this one will be a shihtzu. I hope she'll be as malambing as the two. :)

June 20, declared as national holiday

2011-06-10T06:38:00.000-07:00

Through Proclamation No. 154, the Palace declared June 20 as a non-working holiday in celebration of Jose Rizal's 150th birth anniversary. Note: he was born on June 19, the holiday was moved to the nearest Monday.

Meanwhile, June 12 (Sunday) will remain a regular holiday and it will not be moved to June 13 which is the nearest Monday. So basically, may pasok sa June 13.

Confusing, right? Some holidays were not moved because celebrations are meant to stay on that date, according to the Deputy presidential spokesperson.

Also, June 24 (Friday) is a non-working day in Manila in commemoration of the 438th founding anniversary of the city.

Again, holiday on June 12 and 20. And in the city of Manila on June 24.

Words That Are More Beautiful Than "I Love You"

2011-06-10T05:12:00.000-07:00

I love getting random text messages from unexpected people especially when they say I miss you. People that you didn't know you meant something to them, people you have probably ignored even once in your life.

And what's even more beautiful than that is when they say I'm happy for you. Those four words, it makes my heart melt. It makes me more than thankful that I have them in my life. I am so blessed to be surrounded by people who truly loves me, unconditionally.

Tips For College Freshmen

2011-06-08T08:00:00.001-07:00

This is a little late but I still hope that you'll learn something at the end of this post ;)

1) Never miss your first day and first class. And please come on time, or else your blockmates will look at you as if you killed someone.
2) Get to know your whole block, they might be your friends throughout college.
3) Always prepare your 1x1 or 2x2 picture and index card. Always.
4) It's okay to get lost in the campus, just know your way out.
5) Know your profs, care about them because you have to make a name. You're not just gonna sit in the corner and listen. You have to do your best so your professor will remember you (and give you a good grade).
6) Choose your friends well. People in college are like fish in the sea.
7) Join organizations. It will make your college life even more meaningful.
8) Always be proud of where you're from. It'll make you stand out from the rest of the crowd.
9) Yellowpad and pen will do.
10) Partying will always be present in college but learn how to manage your time.
11) Smile :)

Finding Someone Like That Someone

2011-06-05T06:28:00.000-07:00

Last night, I attended Aila's debut and two of her 18 candles told her that "Namimiss na kita, wala kasi akong makitang katulad mo.."

We even joked around, "wala kang makitang katulad ni Aila? Baka naman kasi boyfriend hinahanap mo?!", "wala ka naman kasi talagang makikitang katulad niya dahil nag-iisa lang ang tao."

Jzarah answered, "hindi naman kasi literal. Wala kang mahanap na katulad siya kasi ayaw mo siyang palitan."

Which is true. We make "I can't find someone like you" an excuse for "I don't want to replace you, ever." When we become too attached with people, we'll do everything to keep them, to not lose them. But the moment of separation comes, and we can't do anything about it. We keep on missing their presence, still wishing they're still here, with you. Still hoping that they will come back, and you're going to rekindle what you had before.

But if it's really the end, if there's really no more turning back, the only thing we can wish for them is to be happy. To do well in everything they do. And at the end of the day, they still make us proud that for once, we were part of their lives. At the end of the day, we still love them. Just like we used to.

Reasons Why I Don't Want To Live In A Condo

2011-06-05T03:39:00.000-07:00

..while studying.

I have a cousin who has a condo in Vito Cruz and is quite walking distance from my school. I can live there anytime I want, but I really don't want to.

1) No one's going to cook for me. I know how to fry, sure. But cook something like adobo, sinigang, menudo? Uhh not gonna work for me, sorry. And because no one's going to cook for me, that also means that I won't be having delicious (and free) meals everyday.
2) Talking about free meals.. Since everything at home is provided by my mom, when I live in the condo, I need to spend with my own money. All right, they're going to give me allowance but I'd rather save it than eat somewhere else.
3) Eating somewhere else aka restaurants and fast food chains and carinderia. Hello, Taft Avenue. University Mall, Vito Cruz, Estrada, Leon Guinto, and other places I can walk into. I'm saving really hard, so this will not really help me. And unhealthy, too.
4) Being forever alone. Living in the condo is very boring. I doubt that my cousin has an internet connection in her unit. LOL. No more annoying brothers? Hmm. I'll probably sleep all day.
5) I like coming home with a food served on the table already. What if I'm dead tired from school and I don't have something to eat? That's too much oppression.
6) It's five times scarier when there's an earthquake.
7) 90% of this list is about food, yes? But I'm just going to miss my family. I know my mom needs me so much at home because we don't have a maid and my brothers are.. well..

I travel from Cavite to Taft every single day. If I love near my school, less stress in commuting plus I'll have enough energy to do school works when I get home. But let's see if my schedule for this sem can still handle the Cavite-Taft travel and my other activities. Not to mention that the traffic here in Cavite got even worse. Thank you, CavitEx. Thank you so much.

The Queen B Is Back

2011-06-02T07:14:00.000-07:00

Whatever B stands for (Beauty, Bitch or Blogger), I am definitely back here in blogspot!

It's been two years since I last posted here and thank goodness I still remember my password. I've been in Wordpress (starcandy.org) and Tumblr (sarcasticsweetheart.tumblr.com). I suppose to make a profit out of my own domain but sadly, I was not able to maintain it. Two years and a lot of things have changed, two years of a rollercoaster ride.

This will officially be the home of my shared thoughts and experiences.

Oh, and I lost all my link-ex here,sad. Still fixing the chatbox and everything else. See you soon, love!

The most spectacular,indescribable, deep euphoric feeling for someone.

Love is an incredibly powerful word. When you're in love, you always want to be together, and when you're not, you're thinking about being together because you need that person and without them your life is incomplete.

This love is unconditional affection with no limits or conditions: completely loving someone. It's when you trust the other with your life and when you would do anything for each other. When you love someone you want nothing more than for them to be truly happy no matter what it takes because that's how much you care about them and because their needs come before your own. You hide nothing of yourself and can tell the other anything because you know they accept you just the way you are and vice versa.

It's when they're the last thing you think about before you go to sleep and when they're the first thing you think of when you wake up, the feeling that warms your heart and leaves you overcome by a feeling of serenity. Love involves wanting to show your affection and/or devotion to each other. It's the smile on your face you get when you're thinking about them and miss them.

Love can make you do anything and sacrifice for what will be better in the end. Love is intense,and passionate. Everything seems brighter, happier and more wonderful when you're in love. If you find it, don't let it go.

One word frees us of all the weight and pain of life:

That word is love.

-Sophocle

School's killing me this early and so I won't have much time to blog anymore. But my plurk is still active as always. :)

My last post for candy-ish. :|| I'm officially moving to starcandy. Please do update my link, thankies so much, love! :)

Busy

2009-06-11T07:48:00.000-07:00

Sorry guys. I can't comment back on you right now. I'm terribly busy with my newest blog (probably moving there soon) and preparing for school. Take care amigos! :)

Twitter Vs. Plurk

2009-06-09T06:08:00.001-07:00

Let's compare twitter to plurk and plurk to twitter. LOL.
Let's start with my favorite. :)

Plurk
has super cute emoticons! Like these:

and a lot lot more.
Twitter
has none. :(

Plurk
uses timeline (which is so cool) to see the your plurks and other people's plurks or in the simplest form, the so-called updates.
Twitter
uses.. i don't know. Basta it's like a list.

Plurk
I think, is harder to use/figure out than twitter
Twitter
is ofcourse, easier to use. Or should I say convenient?

Plurk
Has this thing called "karma". It goes up when you do quality plurking and goes down when you are inactive. [FYI, high karma gives you the access to use super super cute emoticons! :)]
Twitter
They don't have karma that goes up and down. You can update anytime you want without having to worry about your karma [cause they don't have it] getting low. :)

Plurk
is for commoners..
Twitter
is for celebrities. Haha! Or those people who want to follow celebrities. xD Hollywood stars have their twitter accounts too! Megan Fox, P. Diddy, Katy Perry, Lady Gaga, Lil Wayne, Blake Lively, Oprah, Ryan Seacrest, Ashton Kutcher, Justin Timberlake, Snoop Dogg, etc. [Btw, those are the celebrities that I follow. Haha!]

Plurk
has a wide variety of layouts to choose from.
Twitter
has only a few layouts.

Plurk
[I think] it's easier to respond to other plurks. It's almost similar to chatting.
Twitter
when you respond to people's tweets, it will be automatically your update.

Plurk
lets you give a title for your site
Twitter
Candice Laquian (kendizstar) on Twitter is forever your site title.

Plurk
cannot send updates with pictures via mobile
Twitter
can. I think? Haha!

Plurk
Some of the plurkers only want to chat with somebody. Most times, their plurks only say : Goodmorning! Hello! And other greetings. And they wait for somebody to respond on their plurk. [Only the bisaya people do that. xD]
Twitter
Twitters' updates contains sensible stuff, at least. You will never see their updates saying just plain goodmorning.

Plurk
their symbol are cute monsters. Or what they call, "creatures"
Twitter
their symbol is a bird. :)

Plurk
you can customize your widget's color
Twitter
You can't. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Plurk
no applications.
Twitter
They have applications that I know nothing about. But I've heard about the tweetdeck, it's a game.

Plurk
you can't change your URL, but you can change your nickname
Twitter
you can change your URL anytime you want

Plurk
is for the net adiccts and certified bums!
Twitter
is for.. busy people. Kasi nga, you don't have to update every single date.

I can't think of anything anymore. Biased much ba? XD Yes, I love plurk than twitter. And would you believe that plurk makes me inexplicably happy? :))

Twitternatics, don't get mad at me okay? This is my blog, and these are my thoughts! XD

So guys, if you want to join my plurkada, click me.

Lovely♥

2009-06-05T21:41:00.000-07:00

I wanna share these piece of lyrics from my favorite songs as of now. xD

I need you here, not just in my heart.
♥In Loving Memory; And Then I Turned 7

And finally, all my dreams are happening
in an ideal for of you.
♥The Jamestown Story; And Then I Turned 7

Promises are just words unless they're fulfilled.
♥A Year From Now; Across Five Aprils

Remember when you held my hand
like you'd never let it go?
♥A Year From Now; Across Five Aprils

I just wish our story didn't end this way,
'cause I'm still in love with the person
who helped me write it.
♥A Year From Now; Across Five Aprils

I've got a little bit of love and
a little bit of that and
that's all I have to give.
♥Oh, Dakota; A Rocket To The Moon

It is love from the first
Time I pressed my lips against yours
Thinking oh is it love?
♥Oh is it love; Hellogoodbye

'Cause you know you will always be my light, Shooting stars could never be this bright
Do you know you will always be my light?
♥I'm afraid of losing you; A Rocket To The Moon

I am not scared of losing this,
I'm afraid of losing you,
♥I'm afraid of losing you; A Rocket To The Moon

Over and over, I'll love you so tender
Wrapped on your arms while staring at your eyes
And I'll be over, when you are under
I want you to hold my hands and take this chance as free
♥Ears and Rhymes ; December Avenue

But it feels like nothing's gonna cross our way
It's all right I'm never giving up on you again
♥I'll be watching you; December Avenue

Tell myself that i'll be fine without ya,
But i would die if i was not around ya
♥Stuck with each other; Shontelle feat. Akon

Ya like it? :)

P.S.
I now have a comment box for my entries. Yay! My babe requested for it. ;>

Meet My Newest Bestfriend

2009-06-01T20:06:00.000-07:00

Summer is here and I'm still waiting there.. Winter is here but I'm still waiting there..
--Waiting in vain

June's up. Goodbye, sun. Hello, rain. Our first day of class was moved to June 15. Rejoicing? Not. I'm lazing around all day loooooong. Trying to be productive in front of my laptop. How great is that? And I'm so excited to see the class list which for sure, will be posted next week.

Did I mention that I have a new bestfriend? Yes. The name's plurk. He's been keeping me up when I feel so down. I love you plurk, forever and ever. LOL. But srsly, I've been quite emo these days. When I got nothing to talk to, plurk is still there. (Tell me if I have a mental disorder, NOW!) And of course ZG for being non-judgmental and Gerald for his rational voice over my irrational thoughts. And would I forget my babe Nadine? I can tell her anything I want and she's always there for me to listen and to laugh with me. :) I love you guys BIG TIME! :D

School Spirit -- NOT

2009-05-30T03:56:00.001-07:00

A week to go and school's up. Not gearing up for it though. I don't know what to expect this year. I mean, I know. I just don't want to think about how entire year will be tough. Or so I say.

How are you going to live when your life was almost about him? How are you going to survive every single day knowing he won't be there?

When you used to go to school every morning
Have lunch together
Sit next to each other
Get your things from the locker; he holds yours, you hold his
How you never want to miss class cause you don't want him to be alone the entire day
When things get a little off between the two of you and the best way to escape is to pig out
How you criticize other people and he would just agree with you
How he doesn't want to see you hanging with other boys just because he's too afraid he might lose you
The way he saves you every time math is killing you
When he lets you use his jacket and gives you a big hug whenever you feel cold
How he go crazy when you smile
How cute he is when he's mad
When computer class become terribly boring and you pass notes even though your sitting just next to each other
How he tells you you're beautiful and gorgeous every time you look at him
How you brag about each other's grade
The way he hold your hands and doesn't want to let you go
How he wants his sundae just plain vanilla
How you get bankrupt every date
The way you taught him to eat fishballs
That his passwords are all about you
The way he steals a kiss from you
That one of his dogs was named after you
The way he kiss your forehead cause you told him you like being kissed there
That you still trust him no matter how irresponsible he gets
When you get stressed because of the research paper and he's not doing his job, you know at the end of the day, he's going to help you
When both of you are not good at drawing, yet he still tried and both of you got 90% for that project
When people look strange at you because you're pricking his blackheads out and his nose gets extremely red
How you satisfy one another's cravings
How you can tell him anything and everything
The way you sing together
The way you play those kiddie games
When people think he's weird, yet you still love him
How he looks like a kid when he pleads
How the staffs at the canteen ask about you and him all the time
When silly friends spread crazy rumors and you're just going to give it a laugh cause you know it ain't true
How desperate you are to be his partner in the cotillion
How impatient you get with TLE projects and he volunteers do to it for you
How you always remind him of the schedule and dates. You are his personal calendar and he's your personal clock
How bad you miss each other during holidays and typhoon season
The way he treats you like a baby
When you know teachers can't hold you down because you're still busmates after all
When he gives you his wallet every morning and you'll have to manage his money
When you're too scared of falling but he always keep you up and no matter what happen, he's going to stand up for you
The whole year you spent at DLH-301 (30+1)
That no matter how many times you hurt each other, you know that your haven is still at each other's arm.
How you used to be his angel, his sweetest sin

I don't know how to end this blog entry. XD

"Do you know that there are two days in our life that we can do nothing about?

one is "yesterday" which is gone,

while the other is "tomorrow" which is uncertain and might not come at all.

we can only live in "today, wherein we can love, work, play and above all, enjoy life..

I seem to be posting quotes so often these days. Quotes that I can relate to and quotes that inspire me. :))

Finally, my laptop is back in my room na! We fixed everything thismorning. :)

Yesterday, we went to San Beda and my alma matter. Yes, we're finally enrolled. We also bought books. I saw Jazeel, Ivan's and Arvin's mom. Then we went to the mall to buy school stuffs. We have to do everything fast cause we're going to fetch Clark at Vet's nook. We had him groomed. Ang guess what, kinalbo sya. As in kalbo. The moment we saw him, we were asking those vets, "Si Clark ba yan?" Cause really.. Para pa siyang asong ulol. It's the effect of the sleeping med daw. :|

I'm currently.. puzzled, hurt, in pain. I know, things wil soon be over. I don't want to have any regrets. But now, I am just not happy.

I forgot, I have to cover the 3 dozen of books pa. Isn't that fun? UGH.

Thought for the Day

2009-05-27T03:49:00.000-07:00

The fantasy is simple. Pleasure is good. And twice as much pleasure is better.
That pain is bad. And no pain is better. But the reality is different. The reality is that pain is there to tell us something.
And there is only so much pleasure we can take without getting a stomachache.
And maybe that's okay. Maybe some fantasies are only supposed to live in our dreams.

Sorry for not dropping by on your site. I'll do, soon. I'm just fixing some zits.

Current Obsessions

2009-05-24T21:52:00.000-07:00

Since I'm so lazy to make kwento, I'll be blabbing about my current obsessions instead. :)

Murray's Sugarfree Chocolate Cookies. Tito gave this to me as his pasalubong. And guess what, ako lang nakaubos ng isang box. Haha! I can't stop eating this cookie. I recommend the double fudge. It tastes like brownies or much more better than brownies! (Photo from amazon.com)

Chocolate Truffles. Does this look like a chocolate truffle? Haha! Yes, these are chocolate truffles -- na tunaw. xD We brought it at Splash Island yesterday (takas) that's why it's tunaw. Tita bought it from her officemate. Full of taste and not too sweet. :)

***

These are the sweets that I've been eating lately. And I can't get enough of them! :)

New baby!

2009-05-21T04:53:00.000-07:00

Before anything else, I'd like to share this to you guys. I got this from Jem's multiply. :)

SUICIDAL SANDWICH
There were three friends: an Atenean, a La Sallite, and a UP student (so
you know this story is fictional.)

Anyway, these three friends met for lunch everyday and ate their
sandwiches.
UP: Putek! Peanut butter sandwich na naman? Sawang-sawa na ako dito ah. Pag
bukas, peanut butter sandwich na naman ang baon ko, magpapatiwakal na ako!
Ateneo: Darn! Roast beef sandwich again. I'm sick of this already. If I get
another roast beef sandwich tomorrow, I'm gonna shoot myself!
La Salle : Oh my gosh, grabe! Ham sandwich is my baon again. I am so sawa
with this sandwich na, ha? If my baon tomorrow is ham sandwich again, I'm
gonna drive my CRV over the cliff!

The next morning, they again met for lunch, and, alas, they had the same
sandwiches again. The UP student went back to his dorm, pulled out a
belt,and choked himself to death. The Atenean went home, got a gun, and
shot himself in the head. The La Sallite drove his CRV off a cliff.

At their funerals, their mothers were interviewed:

UP: Kung sinabi niya lang sa akin na ayaw niya na nang peanut butter
sandwich, eh di sana hindi na yun yung pinabaon ko sa kanya.

Ateneo: If he had told me that he didn't want roast beef anymore, I
wouldn't have given him roast beef.

La Salle : Hindi ko maintindihan kung bakit siya nagpakamatay, eh siya
naman yung gumagawa ng sarili niyang sandwich!

MAHIRAP LAHAT
Sa UP, mahirap ang Math.
Sa Ateneo, mahirap ang English.
Sa La Salle, mahirap ang parking.
Sa Assumption, mahirap ang walang pera.
Sa UST, mahirap umuwi kapag baha.
Sa St. Scholastica, mahirap sumakay sa LRT.
Sa San Beda, mahirap maging lalaki. (For real? San Beda pa naman ang brother ko. :P)

*****

I am so tired today. I got up at 7:30AM, went to my alma matter -- not to enroll. XD Bought a new set of uniform and what can I say? Kakapiranggot ang tie. And yes, june 8 is really the start of my last year as a highschool student.

After that, we had breakfast at SEx, met up with out Tita who gave us the pup but we had it swap din. Haha! We went to their house at Pque and my goodness. They have so many puppies! Super duper cuties! :) Nanganak naman kasi ang dalawang dog nila ng 6 pups each (not sure.) If you want to buy, message me. :)

Meet our new baby, Hayley.

She's almost 2 months old. Half sheepdog and half terrier.

We went to San Beda-Alabang cause my brother is finally, officially going to San Beda College-Alabang. Their uniform section is way too overcrowded. Ang service is 27 palang and we're on the 63rd. Haha! They sell their uniforms in such a very low price compared to WC. Imagine, their PE shirt is just around Php70-90, the polos are like a hundred plus only. Basta, it's really cheaper than WC uniforms. Hello, Php400++ for HS polos? *Insert plurk emoticon here*

The weather is so frdigin' hott. I swear. :((

We got home at around 4PM na. Thank God it's raining. :)

All my Life, I prayed for someone like you..

I can't help but blog tonight. I was blog hopping and heard a very beautiful song playing. Gaaad, I remember someone tuloy. Sorry na.

I haven't asked permission yet if I can go to my friend's birthday bash tomorrow. Mom fell asleep early.

Actually, my shoe wish list is longer than this. I just got lazy to put them all. Haha! Friends? I would really, really appreciate it if you're going to give me a gift. :)

Summer Slam

2009-05-01T22:21:00.001-07:00

Oh my oh my. Since 4th grade I really want to attend summer slam. I even wanted to attend Octoberfest. Hahaha! I'm a band person that's why I really, really, really like to attend summer slam. Don't you think we have such great bands here in our country? :)

Pulp Summer Slam just ended last April 30. :| Saan ba kasi may malapit na summer slam? Hello, QC? I'm from Cavite pa. Ugh. And I don't know who's gonna come with me.

SUMMER SLAM. SUMMER SLAM. SUMMER SLAM.

Mmmkay.

Happy happy! :)

Yesterday, the monsturr and I went out. Btw, the monsturr is celebrating the birthday today! :D We had a good time. I beat the monsturr twice in a car racing. Oh yes, LOSER! :P THe monsturr grabbed my arm and told me, "ang payat mo ah" I was like, really? I wasn't able to eat well for five days cause my teeth frackin damn hurts, srsly. I posted our pictures on my multiply, check it out. :)

I hate walking when it rains. My feet gets so icky wet. Srsly, I don't know how to walk when the road is wet. :P

Sooo.. What keeps me busy these days? I've been watching Monk and Dr. House and Grey's Anatomy and Gossip Girl. Haha! Also, I've been watching PoohKwang on Youtube and it makes me laugh to death. Haha! Try to search it on youtube. I'm not reviewing for college entrance tests. And I think I'm going to fail algebra. >:)

Cold Summer Nights

2009-04-25T23:40:00.000-07:00

Hello rainy summer! It sucks -- NOT. But it's strange you know? It's summer and it's raining. Yes yes, climate change. It's not yet rainy season but it kept on raining. But I don't like super hotttttttttt summer either. We sweat and get irritate a lot. Right? :)) It feels great (for us people) to have cold weather during summer. But it's not a good sign for our earth. :||

Wait, am I making any sense? XP

I'm inlove with The Used's Smother Me. :) Here's a peak of the lyrics.

Let me be the one who calls you baby
All the time
Surely you can take some comfort
Knowing that you're mine
Just hold me tight, lay by my side
and let me be the one who calls you
Baby all the time

I found my place in the world
Could stare at your face for the rest of
my days
Now I can breathe, turn my insides out
and Smother me
Warm and alive I'm all over you
would you smother me?

I love it to death. Haha! I'm still not changing my blog's skin. I'm toooooo lazy. XD

Ermm..?

2009-04-19T07:22:00.000-07:00

I just got back from Tagaytay. `twas my cousin's 7th birthday. I still don't have time to read all your blog entries guys. Sorry. :)

I'm planning to buy my own domain. YAY! To have $$$ ofcourse. xD And I finally decided to change my blog's skin! I want to be productive, at least. Haha!

Summer Trips

2009-04-15T19:47:00.000-07:00

Hello hello! Sorry for not updating again. I've been quite busy these past few days. We went to baguio last holy thursday. PMA's the place to be! Lol.

And yesterday, we had fun at Splash Island. :D

Papa left this morning. Aww. This is the last outing for this summer with our dad. He only had 27days with us. Saaad. He still doesn't want to go. Who wants to be away from his family anyway?

I really should change my blog skin. But I don't want to. Haha! Don't you think that my blog skin is cute? Lol.

I'll update my blog more often now cause I think, starting for now, I'll be a bummer again.

Beach or Pool?

2009-04-03T22:04:00.000-07:00

My 4th previous blog post (I think), I said that my pop arrived home. And now he's leaving. Yes, very very very fast. Screw his assistant!! He barely have two weeks to stay here. He'll be leaving probably on the 14th of April. Thank God his passport needs to be re-newed. If not, wala na sya dito ngayon. So Papa was planning to go to Puerto Galera and there had been a lot of side comments. Mom doesn't want the beach. As well as my three sibs. Mehn, i soooo love the beach! But, next week is going to be like the highest peak season. Haha! Cause it's holy week. And PG would be very very crowded. Mom wants to go to Club Manila. Ugh. I want to travel far far faaaar! It's in Tanay (or Taytay?!) Whatever. And it's just pool. I want beach. So baaaadly. :||

Last night, I had a dream. I went to DLS-CSB with my big bro. And got really amazed with their SDA building. Funny, I know. HAHA.

Highschool No More

2009-04-01T19:35:00.000-07:00

I think I should change my welcome note. I'm not starting from scratch anymore. Haha! It was last updated during the last quarter of 2008. Owell.

My big bro is already a graduate. Gaah. Can't believe that he's going to college. You know my bro's a little irresponsible and very pasaway, indeed. He will study at San Beda College - Alabang and still not sure about his course. I.T was not recommended to him. But I think they will do something about it. :P My grannies were with us yesterday. :D

I want to have a new hair do. You know Hayley Williams? Yes, Paramore's lead singer.

I want to cut my hair like this and dye it red. Hahahaha! Kidding. But seriously, I want to have a new do na. :|

And I super miss being in a band. Like singing and playing guitar. Ugh. When oh when will I have my own band again? :((

You know I love Paramore ;D

Oh, pick-up lines.

I wonder if those I have striked out were being said by a maniac. Or maybe a dork.

Pop's Home!

2009-03-22T00:44:00.000-07:00

Last friday, pop arrived home. We fetched him at the airport and had lunch at home. Rested for a while then went out again to buy stuffs for tomorrow's event. First stop, duty free. Bought chocolates and cornbeefs and spams. I super love mnm's promo! They gave us an inflatable chair with speakers! Haha! And I bought my dream shoes. Not. I just love the shoes. It was just an accident cause I saw a Sanuk store inside the duty free. I was suppose to fit the shoes. Just fit. Then dad ask me if I'll buy those. And I said, yes! HAHAHA. Very cute & comfy shoes. No, they're not shoes, they're sandals. :)

Head off to moa to buy dresses, shoes, long sleeves.. Ate at superbowl of China. :) Mom and I can't find any nice dress. MOA is too big. Sasakit lang paa mo kaka-ikot.

We went to SM bacoor the day after to look for dresses. Thank God I was able to find an LBD. :) The debut of my cousin will be held at Valenzuela. Ang lapit diba? We were stucked along Manila. The kids are having their entry for guiness daw. The party should start at 6PM. We arrived at 8PM. Haha!

*My sense of blogging is lost. Ugh. I want to blog lots of things but I'm getting lazy. :||

Yay summer! :)

2009-03-18T20:15:00.000-07:00

My summer is now officially open! Lol.

Summer = beach.

There are few things I shall do this summer.

Organize my room.
Go university hopping. :))
Prepare for college entrance exams.
Decide on what course I would take on college.
Go beach hopping and bikini hunting! :))
Party! :P
Be productive.

I don't want my summer to be boring like before.

*I'll update more soon.

New skin?

2009-03-05T02:09:00.000-08:00

I'm thinking of changing my blog skin. But it would take a lot of ayos again. Probably I will, on summer.

Oh mehn, I can't believe the school year is about to end. We still have problems and I hope (I really hope) that we can still fix things. I hope that the end of this school year would be very memorable to us. Next week is going to be a busy week for sure. We have to pass all our requirements and mayn, I still have missed quizzes. Haha! Missed quizzes because of the cotillion & cheerdance rehearsals. I'm planning to take it next week also. One in geometry and one in chem lang naman. :)) And I'm still not done with my a.p. report. Heehee. I'll be updating more next time. Bye! :*

No More Worries. :D

2009-02-26T04:09:00.000-08:00

Yes, I'm still alive. :D I have to complete all my requirements that's why I don't get a chance to update my blog.

We have celebrated the 25th anniversary of Woodridge College last February 21, 22 & 23. Yes, we need to go to school last saturday and sunday and monday (which is suppose to be a holiday). We had only one day rest and that is tuesday. Oh, did I just say rest? We did our investigatory project last tuesday so that is not a total rest. I was stucked in the DLH grounds the whole celebration because I was one of the dancers and we really need to practice. As much as I want to watch the sports exhibition (basketball) and the WDC dance, I can't. We can't. But I enjoyed our rehearsals. We just need a lot of water. A clean water I mean.. And cold. Lol.

During the foundation day, there were lots of food stalls in the field. (How I wish that woodridge is franchising those food stalls. The food in the canteen is.. err..) There were tiangges, inflatable slides, caterpillar and merry go round. In short, the school looked like perya. LMAO. But it was fun. There were lots of activities (though I wasn't able to join them). But I was part of the cheerdance presentation. I just missed the free rides on the last day. :(

I'm finally done with our research paper. Hoorah! I didn't spent much time for that but I was able to build 40 pages. :D I didn't go to sleep late, I wasn't that stressed, basta. I was even telling my groupmates to chill and relax cause we can finish it before the deadline. And we did. Oh, I did. Lol. But I think we won't be having our defense anymore cause the teacher got really furious :|

I ask Kevin to do the paper work for our investigatory project. It would be too much of oppression in my part. Lol. But seriously, I don't have the interest in the investigatory project. So if I am not in the mood to think, I will not be able to pass it before the deadline. Haha! But I think I'm going to be the speaker - me and Kev. Our project is easy though. Easy as 1-2-3. Lol.

I had problems. But I'm happy. ;)

2009-02-14T22:39:00.000-08:00

I'm dealing with stress right now. I have lots of schoolworks to do and those are due this coming week. Instead of doing our investigatory project and research paper, here I am. In front of the laptop blabbing about whatever things that my fingers would type. :))

Oya. Happy heart's day. :D Yesterday, we observed a mentally illed lady for our research paper.

Friday the 13th. I spent the night finishing my little gift for him. And craaaaap. I had lots of problems! It took me one week just to finish that. I spent so much time and effort. I slept at around 12am na and still the gift that I was working for is not yet done. It's a movie with our pictures together, with some messages and random songs. It's very sweet. Everytime I watch it, I can't help but smile. :) But damn. You know what happened when I was already done with it?

1. The blank CD cannot be read. Damn.
2. Audio device was not found daw.
3. I can't burn it on the CD cause it's not a video/audio file.
4. I need to convert it to a video file.
5. I have deleted some of the pictures already.
6. I need to retrive those pictures.
7. Still, the audio is not working.
8. I have to download an audio device but don't know which one should I download. I end up on Realtek.
9. Nothing's changed. No device supported Realtek daw.
10. I don't know what to do. Restart the computer.
11. Great, it worked! :D
12. When I was converting the file to wmv, the waiting time is 4000+ minutes. Gawd, it will take me days just to convert a file? And take note, instead the time remaining will be lessen everytime, nadadagdagan pa sya. :||
13. I gave up. I just woke up early the next morning.
14. Hoorah! I'm finally done with converting.. and burning. :D
15. When I tried to play the CD, it's NOT working! I was about to cry na talaga.
16. I thought that nagloloko lang ulit.
17. So I gave the CD to him.
18. He played it when he got home.
19. The video is not working. He can only hear the audio. DAMN.
20. I have no other choice, but to redo it. :((

Great right? I wanted to cry. Haha! This is not the first time I did this thing with movie maker and burn it on a CD. The first was when I gave a gift to Sr. Nhes and I did not had any problems with it. :||

**********

Gawd, I really missed dancing. We had our first practice last friday and it was fuuuun. Kuya Justin & Kuya Imay was there to choreograph the dance and mayn, I suuuuper lurve the steps! :D Kuya Justin is really a great dancer. Cheers to Ate Ching! :P Plus, Kuya Imay is very nice. And I am now comfortable with him. The first time we met was a very awkward moment. Haha!

I'll attend the gawain of INC on tuesday (hopefully). Well, I haven't asked permission yet. Kuya Imay & Kev are going to fetch me. And I feel.. Nervous? Haha!

I'm elated though. XD

Prom Preparations

2009-02-06T00:09:00.000-08:00

Tomorrow is going to be a big day. I don't know what to expect. I hope that night will be a blast to the Juniors and Seniors. Let's forget about being misdemeanor even just for a night. :D

I'm not that excited for the prom. I don't know why. But I'm looking forward for that night. I didn't prepare much for this event. I got my gown just last tuesday. I really enjoyed the gown hunting! :D I didn't bought new shoes and I'm still thinking what hairstyle would fit me.

I'll blab about the gown hunting. I was absent last tuesday because of that. We went to Tina Diaz Weddings & Bridals (if I got it right). I searched and searched and searched for a gown that would fit me. I think I have fitted almost 10 gowns. Haha! The owner, my mom, brother and the other lady had me walk through the floor to see if the gown looks good to me. Grabe, fashion show eh? :)) It was really hard to choose which gown I would wear cause I love em all! I liked the silver gown but it's too big for me. Saaad. I end up choosing between a royal blue gown and a blue ball gown. The royal blue gown is very simple but I really like its color. The blue ball gown is very unique but I think I look fat wearing that gown. Haha! I really don't know what to choose. It was extremely hard. There's always pros and cons.

We went to Manila Hotel last wednesday for the general rehearsal of the Cotillion De Honor (did I got it right?) . It was an adventure-slash-fieldtrip. During our lunch break, we walk through the busy streets of Manila. We walked under the heat of the sun from Manila Hotel to SM Manila. Can you imagine how far it is? Damn. It's so tiring but a lot of fun! I wanna go walk tripping again! :D

Soooo.. I hope tomorrow will be a great night. See you all with your best turn out and etiquette. :D

Sweet Sixteen.

2009-01-31T03:01:00.000-08:00

The girl just turned sixteen. She's now trying to be a real lady. She wants to become more responsible.

Yesterday was her day. She enjoyed it. Her class greeted her a happy birthday, sat on the so-called "hot seat" and each one of her classmates gave wishes-slash-comments to her. She felt really overwhelmed. She didn't know that she was that loved by many. Everyone told her that she was kind. She's waiting for someone to say that she's mean. Lol. She appreciated everything. To the simple greetings people gave her, the gifts and most especially the love. :D

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

So, I am now sixteen. I want to change. I want to have my birthday resolution but I can't think of any. Lol. Can you help me? :))

Busy.

2009-01-25T04:33:00.000-08:00

I'm kinda busy. Tambak ang schoolworks plus the cotillion practice. I get home late na because of that. Ugh.

I wanna join cheerdance. And I want it to be bonnga as before. Gaaah, I miss dancing. x[ Actually, I joined na. But it's not yet final cause we're still committed to that effin cotillion.

Report cards were also given last wednesday. And my grades were okay so far. Only one subject got low - Filipino. And I'm super wondering why. I did great this quarter on Filipino (much much better than last quarter) but why the hell did my grade got low? Oh well. Sayang lang cause I wasn't in the honor list. Ugh. 91.4.

I'll be updating more next time. I gotta go.

Bye.

2009-01-12T17:50:00.000-08:00

Our former principal died last friday morning. Her remains was brought to WC yesterday and we have no classes today. The school staff is busy.

There are so many things to do and we have to finish those until the end of January. February is going to be so frantic. We have the JS prom, fun run, alumni homecoming and many many more. It's the 25th anniversary of WC eh.

Speaking of JS prom, I still don't have something to wear. Haha! It will be on February 7 at the Manila Hotel. And.. I was chosen to dance on the cotillion. Unexpected.

Quiapo adventure

2009-01-07T02:50:00.000-08:00

Last saturday my cousins and I went to Quiapo for a dental check-up. Ate Ariane and I got so bored so we went to search for Hidalgo to find the cheapest camera daw. We don't even know where Hidalgo is. We already crossed so many streets and still not able to find it. And, it was my first time to be in Quiapo. Okay, promdi I know. Hahahaha! We were so scared of the people there so we refuse to ask someone. But we have no choice. The lady told us the direction but we still can't find it. Haha! My cousin remembered that it's near SM daw. So there. We reached Hidalgo. They don't sell the cheapest though. Palanca does. They sell DSC-T700 for 17k only. Imagine in malls it's like 28-30k. And T77 for 13k only. Ugh. If we only have greens. :|

So had another problem. That is how to get back to the clinic. Haha! But yea, thank God we were able to go back naman. Ang dami-dami naming inikot papunta, ang lapit-lapit lang pala. Haha! And the reason why I had a dental check-up because I'm going to have braces na. :| :))

Hello, 2009. :D

2009-01-01T05:43:00.000-08:00

Update!

December 30 - Laquian clan went to Enchanted Kingdom. It was fun. I missed e.k. The last time I went there was like three years ago. Haha! But we went home at around 7PM cause the old people needs to rest na. xD

December 31 - New year's eve. Also my granny's birthday. We celebrate our new year at tagaytay and it's so damn cold there. Thank God it didn't rain hard.

So hello 2009. 2008 has been a great year. It taught me a lot. I'm looking forward to the new challenges of this year. :D

Boring Christmas

2008-12-25T04:40:00.000-08:00

Christmas is not getting any better every year. Boring boring boring - the only word I can say. No more gifts instead they gave cash. :D I earned Php900 only. Ugh. Php500 needs to be save cause we're going to Enchanted Kingdom on December 30. I'm so excited. :D

Christmas is not yet over cause I still have to haunt my uncles & aunties in Tagaytay. I hope I will be able to collect as much as Php500. Pleaaaaaase.

Busy.

2008-12-18T02:58:00.000-08:00

Sorry for not updating much. I've been busy in school. 3rd quarter's over and christmas is coming. Then new year, and my birthday. Omigad I'll get old again! : And oh yes, gifts are very much appreciated. :D

Tomorrow is our christmas party in school. Burgundy will be having a kiddie party. Let's see who will get a Php300 from Ms. Gail for the best costume. :D

Make-up now.

2008-11-28T20:03:00.000-08:00

Two weeks had passed and it was very draining, so to speak. Not only because of the non-stop projects that the teachers are giving us, but also because of some major issues happening right now in school.

I'm feeling like I don't want to go to school anymore because of some real mean girls spilling rumors about everyone - including me. I won't tell the whole thang anymore. It was very, very silly. We had our seminar last friday with the whole Juniors. It includes our teachers, of course. I am just hoping that this thing would end now. Reconcile.

So tired.

2008-11-16T03:09:00.000-08:00

We just had our backyard camping. `Twas a sleepless night. We did so many things. But it was quite boring. I just wished we did things that are more sensible. :P

I am so lazy to read Noli. Hehe. Check out my multiply for the pictures. :D

My fairytale..

2008-11-09T01:40:00.000-08:00

I have been wishing for my own fairytale. Until now. But my fairytale seems like a nightmare. There are just so many things that happened these past few months. And it sucks. Really. Until now. We are not in good condition. I mean, our status. It's not the same as before.

I'm still hoping that things will go back to its normal state. As soon as possible please? I keep on praying to Him. And asking for His help. There's a lot of things that I can only say to Him. Yes, He's my best friend. The One I can turn to when I'm in agony.

There's a song that is really allusive to me now. It's Come With Me by Sammie. The chorus goes like this:

You don’t have to wait, I can ease your pain

You don’t have to be left out in the rain

Don't just say you're fed up tired of love

Whatever you need I got it, come with me

You don’t have to stay up waiting by the phone

You don’t have to ever feel like you’re alone

Don't just say you’re fed up tired of love

Whatever you need I got it, come with me

It's a nice song right? And I want somebody to sing that for me. HAHAHAAHAHAH! =))

Lovin' plurk!

2008-10-30T21:20:00.000-07:00

My karma is getting higher. I'm LURVIN PLURK!! Hahaha! I don't know what's with plurk that makes me happy whenever I see my karma increasing. Try it. It's fun! Lol. Click for plurk!

Btw, we'll be going to Tagaytay today until Sunday I guess. And school will resume on Tuesday. Ugh. I hate school. I used to super love it. But now, because of waking up so damn early, I'm hating it.

Certified BUM.

2008-10-30T02:45:00.000-07:00

Sembreak is always boring. But I don't want to go to school neither. Both are torture.

My everyday routine? Wake up at 10:30 or 11:30, eat lunch, take a bath, net, eat, net/text, read, eat dinner, net, text, sleep at around 12mn. See how boring my life is? I am a professional bum. Proud bum huh? xP

I registered in different social networks just to have a sensible life. But still, it didn't work. HAHA. I'm plurking and facebook-ing. Yes. I find it cool though. And I am reading New Moon right now. I download it on limewire. Gaaah. Give me money and I'll buy the book. I need moolah you know? I got lazy doing money over the internet. I got my e-on but haven't verified it yet. Ugh. SLOTHiness again.

Something new.

2008-10-26T05:02:00.000-07:00

New skin. But definitely not a new blogger. It's still the old one. I just deleted my previous posts. Why? I also don't know. I just thought of deleting everything here and start from scratch again. Maybe because I don't have the time to update this blog. So from now on, I'll be posting my everyday life here. Uhh, well not really everyday. But I'll post more often here than on my multiply. :D
