Adjusting to the New Environment
I arrived in Iloilo two whole weeks ago. Right now, I'm typing this in my boyfriend's laptop in a cafe providing unlimited WiFi access once you purchase a drink like bottled ice tea, bottled mineral water or a cup of coffee which I say is definitely a good deal when the connection speeds reach up to 200 kbps. Electricity's free, too. Surprisingly, even with 10 laptops connected at one time, "Facebooking" and gaming was still uninterrupted.In front of me is my boyfriend's best friend who also used...

Facebook Fever: Are you addicted to Facebook?
Note: The picture above is the property of www.farmville.comI started using FB for the sake of keeping up my friends. It seems to be all the rage these days. And then my boyfriend asked JUST ONCE to try Farmville in order to add him as a neighbor to expand his lot. The trying-so-hard-to-be-good girlfriend that I am, I gave in to his request. Unfortunately for me, I easily get addicted to semi-simulation games especially ones available...

A Food Lover's 9th Wonder- Banapple
Finally, the long awaited banapple review. I was dying to feature this because even with the cozy (tiny) place they were situated in, the ambiance and food had a "must try, must taste, must spend" rating. I originally heard of it from Total Girl and it did have promising potential as a one stop pasta/smoothie/pie/cake shop.First of all, the cons (Just to somewhat make this article a little discouraging to read. I'm sure the pictures are...

Unpatterned Cross Stitch
I had been working on a certain image for some time now (Because I wasn't the type who finishes projects immediately. It usually takes me a year or more to complete a cross stitch pattern, no matter how small it is.)Anyway, a couple of years ago (when anime patterns were very limited and difficult to find), I decided to make my own. Of course, without the sophistication of any cross stitch assisting software or help from an expert.Last...
A Very Memorable Date: Empty Movie House
I and Abi wanted to spend more time together so last week, we went to see Surrogates at Sta. Lucia East Mall and Pandorum in Blue Wave, Marikina two days later.Note: Took these pictures from the flash animation of Sta. Lucia's website.Both movie houses allow multiple seating. But if you really prefer having the perfect ambiance and sound system, you should try one of Sta. Lucia's cinemas. It's worth the 100- 140 php you'd pay for a movie.Since...

Ondoy's Onslaught (A Detailed Account of my Marikina Experience)
It was 12 A.M of that day that my sister and brother-in-law had just arrived from their trip in Iloilo (attending a wedding). They had come home late because their Pajero would not start leaving them no choice but to ride a taxi home. In such case, they had also left the more heavy belongings they had brought from the trip in the airport as well.By 10 A.M., I woke up last Saturday morning to go out of the room and see my two nieces running...

Completing a Puzzle
I'm extremely mad right now because I've already finished this blog. However, I used my phone in making it and unfortunately, the draft wasn't saved. So my four paragraphs has gone down the drain. Thank you, SKYFIRE!!! As the title implies, I have completed a 1000 piece puzzle. After more than two weeks of head aches and brain drains, the Brunch- Flower Art puzzle (as of 3:20 p.m. yesterday).I won't be adding much in the mean time. I just...

The Hunting Must Stop: Manga Books
A week ago we were at SM Marikina to hunt for a book my sister was dying to buy. Unfortunately to her dismay, it was out of stock. She was looking for Thirst 2 by Christopher Pike. It had gone "out-of-stock" during this time. We've actually read these books in the past (when they were still individually binded and not compiled 3 at a time), but it felt somewhat better to own one.While I and my nieces were browsing through the 50% off...

The EBAY Experience: Pros, Cons and some Tips in Buying and Selling
Buying and bidding in Ebay has always been something I enjoy more than shopping. Shopping online would require me to have a credit card and I don't have one. Shopping in malls makes me tired (I just love staying at home and waiting for my packages to arrive).I'm not sure why, but I have this certain affinity for used goods. I believe my logic in purchasing preloved items is that you're getting the same goods at a cheaper price (usually...

Gadgets Galore: Hacking Eseries
If there be an office supply addict blogger, then why not a gadget addict. I love gadgets. I love spending on them and taking care of them like babies. I'm not the type of person who prefers brand new ones. I settle for second hand before of which I purchase I do a thorough inspection of first. Of course, not all of them are second hand.My resume for gadget lust currently include an HP laptop, a Samsung dual sim phone, a Nokia PDA phone,...

Food for Thought: CIBO Comfort
So after I failed the interview, I called my boyfriend and asked him to "Play Hookie" so that I could talk to someone about my frustrations. The good, loving and supportive person that he is, he immediately took off from where he's at and rode a taxi to where I was waiting for him. He was supposed to attend a review class (as mandated by their school. Weird? Now, nursing schools are requiring their students to review in a specific...
A Job Interview Failed... why??? Below Employee's Requirements: Salary
I think it's everyone's dream to work in their ideal environment. My previous job had such, so I really didn't want to settle for anything less. But my sister's patience was nearing it's limit. The pressure imposed upon me about needing to find a job soon was thickening the invisible emotional atmosphere surrounding the house. So two weeks ago, i applied for a Technical Support Engineer position (specifically as a Senior Technical Specialist) in one of the larger IT companies here in the Philippines....

Betrayal: Which of the two scenarios would hurt more...
I've been thinking of what to add to my blog today. And this is one of those things I tend to ask myself. Example, you're a married person. And you've been married for 8 years or longer. You and your husband (or wife) are all lovey-dovey for the first couple of years. However since passion does not tend to linger that long and responsibilities with the kids became a full time position, you eventually stop having time for each other. Although you still do family things together, it wasn't like it...

A Day (DATE!!!) Gone Bad
So here's the thing... I'm currently an unemployed stay-at-home person because I resigned from my previous job. I must've been crazy to resign from such a good company. But that's how my life goes.Since I don't work, I just stay at home and WALLOW- trying to figure out my next move. I see my boyfriend less than twice a week and there are even times that we don't see each other at all. Last Sunday, we had planned for him to visit me at home so that we could spend time together. But today, he called...

OUTCOME: The Santan's Success Story (3/8/2006)
Storms come and go. They destroy almost everything weak and helpless along their way. They are like obstacles hindering the growth of plants and animals. With all these deaths in the world, one should be sad. Yet, life is full of storms coming and leaving. As the law of survival says, survival of the fittest. Those who are weak die but those who survive grow stronger, more beautiful and more adaptable to the remaining trials that...

DISCIPLINE : The Parent's Rule/Role (3/8/2006)
Change is something inevitable. Aging and maturity, as well, so let us embrace these alterations but remember the limitations that were taught to us by our parents. For sure they would never jeopardize us, so even with one’s own set of disciplinary codes, a parent’s word is always a parent’s word. I have my own set of rules - some I picked up from experience while others I learned from my friends and family- but for me, Nanay’s word is also rule. I know my mom loves me so she would never...
MOTIVATION: Food for a Purpose (poem)
What is a motivator?It is something, which ‘turns you on’. It is the drive to obtain what one desires. For others, it may be just for the love of the game or to prove one self’s worth. Otherwise, in dire moments of our existence, it may be the urge to live and love. My motivation? Still speculating to what it may be? Here’s a poem to make you see.(Please bear with me folks. I wrote this when I was 20 (3/8/2006). Back then, I was so addicted to frappucinos.)To you, I give my loyaltyTo which I treat...
