Wordless Wednesday no.10 - Missing You

coffee break ver: 1.29

Another interesting topic for coffee break. Here’s how it goes.

What's in your everyday bag?

It’s true then! We can really define someone by just looking at the things that she always have. We can therefore see the personality of a person by how she carries it day by day.
Others can go along without carrying a bag. If you’ll ask me? I am definitely not one of them. I really can’t go somewhere without my bag. It’s very simple, I just feel so organized and at the same time fashionable when my things are all well placed in my bag and of course, it’s very hassle free. I am an obsessive compulsive person that’s why I always want every little thing to look so great in the eyes of every person that I bump into.

Now let’s talk about the things in my everyday bag. When I go to school, of course I always bring my notebook, my pens, books, wallet and my umbrella. But when I go somewhere to hang out with my friends and family, I always see to it that I don’t forget to bring my comb, lip gloss, powder, sanitizer, pocket tissue and of course my wallet and my coin purse. I always separate the paper bills from coins so that it won’t look too bulky in my wallet.

And by the way, here’s a fact. Whenever I get something in my bag, I always see to it that I put it back to where exactly I got it. Same thing when somebody borrows my things in my bag. I always get irritated every time they don’t place my things from where they got it. That’s how O.C I am.

coffee break ver: 1.28

I swear, I am so late for last week’s coffee break but I still want to post some thoughts because I like the topic.

Last week’s coffee break talks about sleeping habits. The question goes like this…

How much sleep is enough to keep you rejuvenated for the next day?

Sleeping is very important to our health. We have to sleep for at least 8-10 hours a day to keep our body healthy and rejuvenated.

During summer vacation I sleep for almost 12 hours or more a day. I sleep at around 11:00pm and then I will wake up at 2:00pm to eat my brunch. Sometimes, I even go back to sleep after I eat my lunch!! Yes, you’ve read it right! I am such a sleep addict and I admit that!

But things are different when I am back to school especially now that I am in my college years. I have to wake up earlier because I have so much stuff to do. Often times, I only have 4-6 hours of sleep a day since I often sleep at around 2:00am and that’s enough for me to keep me rejuvenated for the following day. And here’s the worst thing, sometimes, I do have my sleepless nights!! Literally sleepless nights!! Because of so many school works, I don’t have any time to sleep. Really, I am awake for almost 24 hours. So can you imagine how my eye bags look like? Hahaha…

I'm Back

No updates for one week!? I can’t believe I just did that! Oh well, I’m sorry for not updating my blog. I admit I was so lazy for the past week that’s why I can’t think of any sensible things to write. LOL!! Another thing, I was so busy with my school stuffs (as usual) including our disastrous seminar that we have to conduct!! Hahaha… Oh well, I was just kidding! We’re giving our full effort to make our seminar successful. But then again, we don’t have much time so I just wish our group a GOOD LUCK!

Well anyway, since I’m back for good, I will now be able to update my blog!! And that makes me so happy! But before that, I still have to do some business as well. So I think, I better start now before I run out of time again!

The Power of Prayer

Tagged by eds. Thanks sis!!

Dear God, we pray that you comfort each bereaved family everyday as they grieved for their loss, we pray that you will supply all their needs, we pray for the survivors that they may have a good life after the tragedy, that you will bless them and let them know in the deepest part of their heart that in spite of what have happened, you LOVE and CARE for them. This we pray in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen. I encourage everyone to keep the prayer going. LET’S P.U.S.H. (PRAY UNTIL SOMETHING HAPPENS).

I Am So Bothered!!

I must admit, I’m having a hard time dealing with my studies now. It’s getting more and more complicated as time goes by. I know Computer Science is a really hard course that’s why I’m a bit woozy and I’m starting to have my second thoughts to push through with my course. I know it will be a lot harder for me if I’ll shift with a new course because I’m in my third year of college now. But I don’t want to feign all the time that I’m still enjoying my subjects.

Too many pressures, stressful events, inconsiderate professors and difficult activities are currently happening now. Just like in my programming subject, I really don’t have any idea if I’ll be able to get a passing grade. Even one of my professors told us that if we really want to be a programmer, we have to be more flexible with the different programming languages but as what I can see on my performance, I’m a bit adamant with this matter.

I don’t want to show any loathe for any of my subjects but things are very confusing. Really, I can’t decide for now. I’m still thinking of the different consequences that may imminent and of course I don’t want to lament on the wrong things that I may do. I don’t want to be a fiasco that’s why I’m really trying to come up with the best decision.

Hope someone can help me. I am so confuse. I don’t know what to do.

coffee break ver: 1.27

Uhmm.. I think I am too late for this week’s coffee break… hahaha... I had a very busy week that’s why I wasn’t able to update my blog.

I am an absolute music lover though I am not into baduy songs. Before I used to love N’sync but now, I am so addicted to Jason Mraz, Secondhand Serenade, My Chemical Romance, Fall Out Boy, Ne-yo, Rihanna, Paramore and much more. Oh well, obviously most of them are rock bands but there songs are not as loud as the other rock bands.

When it comes to OPM songs, I love Side A and until now, I still do. And also, I like Parokya ni Edgar and Silent Sanctuary.

But here’s one of my favorite OPM songs that may be considered “baduy” by other people.

Gimmick Rules!

As a teen, I love gimmicks. It gives fun and entertainment especially when I had a very stressful week. But, what should we consider when going to such parties?

Here are some of the rules that I think may help us:

1. Always be well-dressed. You never know what to expect.
2. Be responsible. Ask for permission from your parents and friends and look out for each other. When you’re intoxicated, be discreet.
3. Make sure all of your friends get home safely after a night of heavy drinking. Always watch out for one another.
4. Bring trusted friends. It’s not a good idea to go out alone in a place where you don’t really know anyone and where alcohol will be consumed.
5. Make sure you’re wearing something that won’t give you any “technical difficulties” on the dance floor.
6. Be as beautiful as you can be by wearing something simple that enhances “you”.
7. Know how to enjoy going on gimmicks but know your responsibilities too!
8. Don’t be too eager to get drunk that you have forgotten about your other friends.
9. Don’t take advantage of anybody’s drunken state, because you don’t want to wake up and regret what you have done.
10. Don’t accept drinks from strangers and keep an eye on your own drink. Lots of people can spike your drink.
11. Don’t drive drunk ever!
12. Don’t ever get wasted! Tipsy is fine, but getting trashed is sooo unflattering!

Goodbye Spike ='(

Hell yeah!! After the painful break up, there came another tragedy which really broke me AGAIN into pieces. I was deeply hurt and I am totally disturbed.

July 11, 2008, my dog died. He was found lying in my room, dead. I was shocked because his death was very sudden. I never thought that something bad will happen to him because he seemed so healthy and energetic. He was not even sick. My aunt said that maybe he had a cardiac arrest because of the strong heat that we had for the past few days. I can’t do anything but to break down and cry. The abyss pain that I’m feeling right now is very, very difficult to handle.

He’s not just an ordinary dog as others may see it. He’s very dear to me and in fact, I treated him like a son. He’s one of my joys and definitely a very true friend of mine. Every night, he sleeps beside me until the morning comes. Whenever he sees me crying, he will just stay and sit beside me and he will never leave me until I stop. My dog is so sweet that’s why right at this moment; I’m starting to long for his company. I really miss my dog. I cried so much but still the pain remains.

Now, I feel like my world is being attacked with different catastrophes. When will I be happy again? My actions may be exaggerating but I really just can’t deal with so many painful things that have been happening to me. I find things so absurd and heart breaking. My dog is gone. I will no longer see him when I wake up in the morning. I will not be able to hug him anymore. I will not be able to play with him. He left me and I was hurt again and I don’t know how to let these feelings go. I miss him so much and wherever he is, I hope he’s fine and very happy. I’m very thankful for every single moment that he shared with me.

Goodbye Spike and I will always love you =’(

And Now I'm Moving On

These past few weeks, I was so down, frazzled and a bit droopy for certain reasons that I’m really trying to fight back. I was so alone and I felt so pathetic for all the things that happened in the past. I was so hopeless up to the point that I thought that my world is slowly crashing and that I’m breaking myself into pieces.

But then I realized, even if I lost someone very special to me, I still have my most precious friends waiting for me to give back the joy and love that I truly deserve. I still have my great family to guide me through good times and bad times and take care of me for the rest of my life.

And now I can finally say that I’m really moving on, after all I deserve to be happy and be guilt free for what had happened. I’m very happy and contented with my life right now. I’m now ready to face tomorrow with my beautiful hopes and pretty smile on my face. I’m getting used with my situation right now. I may have done some stupid things. I messed up. I screwed up at one point but that doesn’t stop me from living. It’s not yet the end of the world for me for life goes on as long as we live with great passion and devotion. Letting go is the hardest thing in life but somehow, I have learned to let go of him for I am running out of reasons for what I feel and believe in.

I guess I was moved and inspired by some of the lines in the movie Sex And The City. Just like what Carrie Bradshaw said: “Stop worrying about so many things so that tomorrow you will know what to do.” Like her, maybe I just got carried away by my emotions which indeed made me a stronger person.

Wordless Wednesday no.9 - The 10 Faces of Me

coffee break ver: 1.26

This week’s coffee break talks about food.

What dish have you been dreaming to prepare?

I really love to eat though it’s not obvious with my figure. I do eat a lot especially when my favorites are served well in front of me. I am so into Italian and Japanese foods because I just simply like every bit of tastes that are present on the said foods except for WASABE!

Likewise, I love cooking yet I still don’t know how to cook some of my favorite dishes. Nevertheless, I’m currently starting and very eager to learn how to cook different luscious foods that I’ve been dreaming to serve and share with other people.

Since I love Japanese foods, I really want to prepare some of them though it will take a lot of time while doing it. Of course I want to come up with a very nice presentation which will capture every man’s stomach even just by looking at it. LOL! I want to have a very great impression and I want people to fall in love with the way I cook. Hahaha.

For You

Though the time has come for us to part, your memory shall remain dear to me. I shall take it with me wherever I go. I have wholly become a part of you and you of me. My absence within your grounds does not mark the loss of my love for you. In fact, it will only strengthen our bonds as I will test myself among the others whom I will meet once I go outside your boundaries. In you I have grown so much and I owe much too. There are times when I’d think that I know everything, but then I fall. You continually correct all my wrongs and it is only now that I’m thankful for that. If it hadn’t been for your love and care, I might have gone astray. I have learned so much from you. You have molded my existence with values which at times, I had to learn the hard way.

We have been through so much that when I think of your thoughts, memories gush through me like waves rushing to shore. Reminiscing these times never fails to put a smile on my face. It is sad that I must leave, but I must. I don’t know how to repay you for all the goodness you have done to me. So it is in my last days with you that for the first time I shall say this to you. A word I have selfishly kept to myself and have forgotten to utter. “Thank you for everything!” I will never forget our times together. And I know that your gates will always be open for me when I return to show you by then. I hope, rather I’m sure; I am now better and stronger because of you.

At Least We're Friends

It’s been 2 weeks since I had my break up with my guy. Well, I thought it will be easier for me to move on. I thought I will be able to forget things almost instantly. But obviously, I’m wrong. It’s so ironic. I’m still hurt and sad with what happened between us.

We were able to talk about things but still we decided to give up. We decided to remain friends and the good thing about that is we still have our communication. We still talk a lot. We do text but I think, that’s what makes my situation even harder. But still, I have to face the challenge of getting over him. For now, that’s the best thing that I should do. I need to let go and move on with my life.

However, I’m happy because at least we ended up as friends and not as enemies. I just hope that we can keep this friendship forever. I admit, I still love him and he will always remain special to me.

Wordless Wednesday no.8 - Lovely Bubbles

Shopping Marathon

I was so depressed these past few weeks that’s why I decided to ask for my friends’ companies so I can relax and have fun despite of the things that I am undergoing right now. Good thing, most of them were free that day. All of us agreed to go to midtown. When we got there, we decided to have some coffee and then we talked about so many things particularly about what I am going through.

After that, I asked them if we could go shopping because that’s what I always do whenever I feel so sad. I bought one pair of new slippers from Havaianas and I was so happy because I was able to purchase one of the limited edition of flash ethnic. LOL! I also bought two blouses from MNG and I really felt so satisfied. I even bought my new lip gloss from Body Shop which made me even happier. LOL!

Oh well, I spent a lot of money but still I don’t regret it since I had fun and felt really happy and contented about it. After all, I do think that I deserve a little treat for myself.

Food For Thought

Salmon and Tuna
It is rich in iodine that stimulates your thyroid gland to produce hormones vital to your ability to think and move.

Coffee
It contains caffeine which, according to recent U.S laboratory experiments, boosts shortly term memory significantly. It also improves attention and reasoning, especially when you’re sleepy.

Oatmeal
It has the lowest glycemic index, the rate at which sugar from food enters brain cells. The lower the blood sugar, the better the brain functions.

Peanuts
It contains folic acid, essential to the brain’s neurotransmitter functions to carry messages from one cell to another and help us think.

Milk and Yogurt
Contain vitamin B12, vital to maintaining healthy myelin, the tissue that covers the nerve tissue. It has a calming effect that helps you focus and is responsible for your abstract thinking ability and capacity to solve complex problems.

Strawberries, broccoli, apples and spinach
High in anti-oxidants that protect the brain from environmental toxins. They also contain fibers, which influence how other nutrients affect the brain and normalize brain functions.
