Finals na!

2009-09-13T23:32:00.001+08:00

Kakatapos lang ng prelims, at finally, FINALS NA. :D Malapit ko nang malagpasan ang isang sem, at sabihin na, "Yehes! I survived!" Pero teka. Kamusta naman mga numerical figures ko?? Isang malaking katanungan na kailangan ng tiyak na sagot. WAIT--wag muna yan ang isipin natin. Be spontaneous, ika nga ng dalawa kong malapit na kaibigan.

Umuwi ako ng Pampanga for the weekends na walang dalang libro, dahil relaxation time na nga. Kaso ang problema, di rin ako nakapaghang-out with my highschool friends. Hah. :( So, bahay mode lang ako.

FRIDAY NIGHT. Around 8 in the evening.
Nakauwi nako ng bahay namin. OMG!! Namiss ko ang kwarto ko, kahit walang internet dun. May TV naman. LOL. Walang TV sa dorm e. Kaso di man ako nakanuod, kasi nakipagchikahan pako with Mama. Namiss nya ko e, pagbigyan. LOL. So as usual, nakatulog na naman ako with my glasses on. DOH. Haha. Napakairresponsible ko talaga. Tapos I put the blame on my yaya. Whatever yaya! You're such a loser.

SATURDAY. 9 in the morning.
As usual, late na naman ako nagising. Kama ko e. Haha. Bakit nga ba ganun? Can someone explain it to me? WOW. Haha. So ayun, niyaya ko si Mama na ihatid ako sa dentist ko, kaso sabi ni Papa next week nalang daw kasi aalis sila and umuulan. So ayun, I stayed home. Wala akong maisip na gawin, so I played my CDs sa DVD player namin, kasi sira yung CD player namin, at solo ko naman ang kwarto nina Mama, so I did what I wanted. Haha. Hulaan mo yung mga kanta sa CDs. 90s beybeh!! Haha. Tipong Afraid for Love to Fade. Ayun. Tapos nung mga 3pm na, nanuod nako ng DVD-The Holiday. Nakakakilig!! Haha. Siguro nagtataka kayo bakit ko ginawa to. WALA KASING CABLE!! Nasira ata mga linya ng cable operator namin, so nawalan for a while.

SATURDAY. 6 in the evening.
May cable na! Makakapanuod nako ng UAAP. Ang labanan-ADMU vs FEU. Nakakakaba yung laban! May point kasi na natatambak ang ADMU. (Rabeh kase.. Haha. Joke.) Pero nahatak ni Salamat. Panalo ADMU!

SATURDAY. 10 in the evening. Banana Split na. Yehes! Kakatuwa talaga si Bhoy. Aiiiii.. KNOW NA!!! Pati si kuya tumatawa oh. Pagkatapos, alam na ang nangyare. Haha.

SUNDAY. 9 in the morning.
Good morning Jesus! The usual routine parin. Kain ng onte, ligo, bihis, simba, punta kina Lola for lunch. Alam nyo na yun. Anong bago?? UAAP CHEERDANCE! Di ako lumuwas kagad para dun. Haha. Inabangan ko talaga yun, kasi alam ko magaling ang Salinggawi dyan. So nagstart na. AdU di coordinated, NU di ako nasatisfy. Ano ba yan? Pagkakita ko sa performance ng UST, shet ang galing!! Kahit may onteng palya, maganda parin! Grabe talaga ang galing. BIAS ang author ng post na to. ROFL. Animo naman, mukha silang Lastikmen! Haha. UP, simple but elegant. Okay yung kanila. Blue Babble Battalion naman.. (or as Kuya Don would call it: Blue Bla Bla Battalion) Gusto ko yung moonwalk! Basta yung MJ segment. Haha. After nun, pumunta nako sa terminal. Balita ko, UE daw matamlay tapos FEU, may sarimanok. Results time! Panalo FEU, 2nd ADMU, 3rd UP. WALA MAN LANG KAMI?? Ang bias naman ng mga judges. Porket hosts this year ang FEU. Galit na tuloy si Hello Kitty. Haha. Kainis yun. Ang ganda nga ng performance ng Salinggawi e. Hayy. I feel disappointed. Anyhoo, yun yung tingin ng judges e. Better luck next year. Babawi ang Salinggawi, sinasabi ko sa inyo. THREAT? LOL.

Nasa Manila na naman ako. May pasok pa bukas. 11.36pm na. Bakit di pa ako natutulog? Haha. Ang lamiiiiiiig! Hug moko. So, ayun. See you, este read from you in a while. :D

P.S. I'm starting to miss someone, and it bugs me by the minute. Make it stop.

MUCH LOVE ♥

Mixed Emotions.

2009-08-17T19:43:00.002+08:00

So, we had our monthly exams last July 29-31. All the exams were easy, except for the terror Chemistry and the ever boring Psychology. The results were very predictable. I got a perfect score in College Algebra, 9 mistakes in English, 14 mistakes in TFN(Theoretical Foundations in Nursing) and Theology, 28 mistakes in Filipino, 19 mistakes in Chemistry Lab, 34 out of 60 and 55 out of 100 in Chemistry Lecture and Psychology respectively. Whoa. Big whoa. Sobrang extremes ang mga scores ko, diba? LOL.

Just recently, we received some of our monthly grades. Here are they:
ENGLISH- 91.96 or 1.75
CHEMISTRY- 83.7 or 2.5
MATH- 93.4 or 1.5

Of course, these grades of mine are exceptional, but still, I got a bit depressed. If only I strove harder, then I would've had higher grades. Bitin kasi, e? Kakabadtrip tuloy.

Anyways, I can't do anything to change those grades, but I could aim higher, right? That's what I need. Wee. Here I go. Prelims, I got you. :D

MUCH LOVE ♥

Okay, so eto na naman ako naghahayag ng makulit na kwento. :P

Pinuntahan ako kahapon nina Mama sa dorm kase hinatid nila yung mga damit ko at syempre, namimiss na nila ako. Haha. Pumunta kame sa MOA nun; wala kaming kiber sa malakas na ulan. Grabe yung Manila Bay, makikita mo talagang high tide saka yung alon, ang taas.

Kumain kame sa Yellow Cab kase wala lang, sarap dun e. Syempre, New York's Finest ulet saka #4 Cheese, Charlie Chan saka Chicken Alfredo. Sarap talaga the best! :D Kakaenjoy talaga. After nun, iniwan namen ang mga kapatid ko at si dear Yaya sa Dave's fun house habang kame'y nag-ikot-ikot muna. Pumunta kameng Toy Kingdom para ibili ng mga laruan (duh kaya nga Toy Kingdom e) ang mga kapatid ko. Si Papa parang bata! Naging bilmoko, naghangad ng Optimus Prime. Ayun, binili na sya for the sake. Haha.

Ako naman ngayon. Pumunta kameng Wade dahil nakita akong magandang pair dun, at syempre mahilig na mahilig ako sa sapatos!!! Hahaha. Kung alam nyo lang kung ilang pair na ang meron ko sa bahay. Hahaha. Lumabas na si saleslady, sabay sabi, "Ma'am, last pair na ho to." "Eh anong size ba yan?" "6 ho." Badtrip!!! Sumakit tuloy loob ko.

So, pauwi na kame. Hindi pa rin tumitila yung ulan. Pagkarating namin sa may Quiapo, aba baha na! Nataranta ako baka baha na rin sa Daps, eh dun ako. Hala. Pagdating namin sa Daps, aba nagsisimula na ang baha. Mga 5 yun. Nung mga 6 na, nagtetext na sina Mama na nastranded daw sila sa Dimasalang. Bumaba naman ako para tingnan yung sitwasyon. Aba sa street namen hanggang kalahati ng binti yung tubig-baha, tapos hanggang crotch yung sa Dapitan. Eh pano pa kaya sa Espana? Hindi tuloy kame makapagdinner kase nakahold lahat ng delivery lines tapos baha pa, nakakadiri. Ayun kumain nalang kame ng kung ano para malamnan sikmura namen. Badtrip.

Para mawala sa isip namin yung gutom, naginternet nalang kame sa study area ng dorm namen. (Yes finally may wifi na!) After mga 1 hour ng pagiinternet, bigla kameng may narinig na maingay na tunog, yung parang sa mic pag natutok sa speakers. Tapos biglang naging fire alarm. Hala takbuhan lahat pababa! Namumutla nga daw ako e sabi nung kasama ko. Tapos false alarm lang pala. May nanigarilyo kaya nagtrigger ng fire alarm. Ang tanga tanga namna nun! Hindi naisip na malaking perwisyo yung ginawa niya. Ayaw pa umamin! WTF.

So, yun yung gabi ko kagabi. Hahaha. Ang dami talagang experiences dito sa dorm. Keri mo ba to? Kung Tomasino, syempre oo.

MUCH LOVE ♥

May ganon?!! Nung Friday, witness ako. Haha! Lakas kase ng ulan, eh sa Manila kagad bumabaha. Buti nga di pa lumulubog yung USTe e (matatag talaga mga Thomasians) :D

Ito ay kwento ng panghihinayang, pagkamuhi, at kasiyahan. Tuloy-tuloy lang ang pagbasa, ha? :P

Thursday, July 16
4.47 PM Sinundo ako ni Papa, kinuha ang mga maruming damit ko at iilang gamit, at niyaya akong magYellow Cab. Siyempre, tatangihan ko ba naman ang grasya?

5.02 PM Nakarating na kame sa Yellow Cab. Nag-order kame ng 10" New York's Finest, Chicken Alfredo Pasta (new dish :D), at dalawang bote ng Sola. Akalain mo naubos?!! Haha. Pagkatapos naming kumain, napilit ko si Papa na ibili ako ng YC Pistachio ice cream. Grabe sarap talaga!! Panalo :D

6.13 PM Habang pauwi kame ni papa sa dorm ko, niyaya niya akong umuwi na sa Pampanga tutal daw malakas yung ulan at malamang daw walang pasok kinabukasan. Nakakagulat yung sagot ko: AYOKO. Ayun, inuwi nalang niya ko sa dorm.

Friday, July 17
5.18 AM Ginising ako nung dorm mate ko kase ako na daw yung next na maliligo. Shit. Tinatamad ako nugn mga panahong yun. Umuulan kase, tas ang lamig pa, tas madilim pa. Ayun, di pako naligo. Maya-maya, natataranta kame kase baha na sa tatlong side ng USTe, kasama na ang Dapitan kung san ako nakatira.

6.21 AM Nagtext yung classmate ko; wala daw pasok. Siyempre, initial reaction ko natuwa ako kase walang pasok! Pero maya-maya, sumakit din loob ko kase nakakapanghinayang yung pagyaya sakin ni Papa pauwe. Ako pa tuloy nahirapan. Err! :S Kaya yun, nag-ayos nalang ako ng gamit para agad ako makauwe.

8.30 AM Dumating na sina Monchee and Doms sa dorm para sunduin kami ni Yan. Ang lakas ng ulan at hangin, at mataas na rin ang tubig, so wala kaming choice kung hindi magtricycle. Shit! Nananamantala sila! 40 daw per head kahit 250m lang yung distance?!! Rason nila masisira makina nila. Grabe. Wise talaga mga Pinoy.

8.40 AM Nakarating na kame sa Jollibee Lacson. Dun kame naghintay ng Philippine Rabbit; may waiting shed kase dun. Halos isang oras kameng naghintay ng masasakyan na bus kase yung tatlong dumaan, ayaw kameng pasakayin!! Nakakaasar :S May nasaksihan pa kameng naghahanap ng wallet sa baha. Naawa akong natawa. Naawa ako kase nawalan nga ng wallet at mukhang madameng laman yun. Natawa naman ako kase medyo tanga siya para dalhin yung buong wallet nya. Sana man lang nagdala na lang siya ng iilang bills di ba?

9.37 AM Pinasakay na rin kame nung isang bus. Sakto biyaheng Angeles siya. Thank you Lord :D

MUCH LOVE ♥

Hoy, PINOY ako. Ramdam mo ba?

2009-06-29T12:22:00.005+08:00

Ito ang pinakaunang post ko na Taglish ang language, sa rason na mas magandang ilahad ito sa ganung paraan.

Ito ang unang beses na luluwas ako papuntang Maynila sakay ang Philippine Rabbit byaheng Avenida, kaya humanda ka dahil siguradong maaaliw ka. (sana lang XD)

Bago ako sumakay ng bus, pinanalangin ko na sana wala pang umupo sa upuan sa mismong likuran ng driver. WALA NGA. Thank you Lord. Iyon kasi ang pinakasafe na lugar sa pampasaherong bus. Sumakay kami sa Angeles terminal kaya konti palang ang sakay ng bus. Bumyahe ang bus papuntang Dau terminal, ang "pambansang" terminal ng Pampanga at ng mga karatig-bayan. Binigyan kami ng ticket ni Manong Konduktor. Nakalimutan naming sabihin na pangestudyante lang pala dapat yung ticket namin; may discount kase pag student fare-tumatanginting na dalawampu't apat na piso. Ayun, napagalitan kami kay Manong. Gusto ko nalang ngang sumigaw at sabihin na first time namin sumakay sa ganung bus. Sorry naman Manong :D

Nung magpark na ito, dali-daliang pumasok ang ibang mga pasahero. Nacute-an nga kame dun sa half-Japanese na batang babae na sumakay kasama ang kanyang pamilya. Kamukha niya kase yung batang babaeng Hapon na model ng Guess Kids. WOW :D Sumakay din ang mga maglalako ng quail eggs na mukhang bulok na, chicharon with suka na mapanghi, mga pastillas na mukhang bar ng sabon, dyaryo tulad ng Abante at Bulgar na parang puro tsismis lang ang laman at walang katotohanan, at mga inumin tulad ng mineral water at C2 na parang tinanggalan na ng minerals dahil parang nirepackage lang. Puro karaniwang binebenta. Maya-maya, may umakyat na sumisigaw ng HOTDOG! okaya HOTDOG SANDWICH! Napatingin naman ako;akala ko kasi Tender Juicy. Nakakaloka! Mukhang slinky XD Parang pag tinanggal mo sa stick, magbabounce siya ng todo-todo. Pinoy talaga; hangga't pwedeng maging wise ay magiging wise siya.

Pumunta na tayo sa biyahe mismo. Habang natutulog ang mga kasama ko, ang mga mata ko nama'y mulat na mulat dahil sa takot na baka may hired killer pala sa likod o di kaya'y snatcher. I might be paranoid. LOL XD

Pagkarating namin sa Camatchiles, bumaba na si little Japanese girl. Goodbye kiddo. We will miss you forever. :P

Nakarating na kami sa Wendy's sa street namin. Kelangan nang magpaalam kay Manong Driver at kay Manong Konduktor. Paalam :)

MUCH LOVE ♥

Swine Flu @ UST? Sad Fact.

2009-06-23T11:53:00.002+08:00

So, I went to Manila last Sunday afternoon for my classes. I was kinda excited for my second week, but then nervous too because I had a report in Chemistry about Bunsen burners which I'm not ready for just for the reason that I haven't seen one in my whole life. I sought help from one of my dorm mates who happened to be my group mate. We were at the study area, then all of a sudden this Medicine student shouted for joy when she heard the news that classes for the following colleges-College of Medicine, College of Nursing, and College of Rehabilitation Science-are suspended for 8 days because apparently a Thomasian from one of these colleges acquired the Swine Flu. Too bad for him/her (the gender wasn't stated); he'll miss classes. Sure hope he'll get better soon. So, another 8 days of vacation for us! :))

MUCH LOVE ♥

Life as a college frosh in Manila.

2009-06-18T16:26:00.004+08:00

So, I'm officially a Thomasian nursing student, and hurrah! The first week is almost over. New environment, new professors, new classmates, new friends, every thing's new, and I have to face this on my own because I study here in Manila and I live in a dormitory. My preschool bestfriend is with me, and so are my roommates who just live near Pampanga :)) I'm not homesick, not like my other dormmates, because I get along with my roommates and other dormmates. I even have classmates in the other rooms! The good thing with my dorm is that it has a canteen below which serves good food due to the fact that the cook's Kapampangan. Cool!

We have a lot of requirements in all my subjects, especially Chemistry because we have our lab classes and lecture classes. We even had a pre-test in Math! I got 13 out of 20 :| My profs are kinda strict, except our TFN prof; she has a good sense of humor :)) I really hope I will not stop studying. TEMPTATIONS KEEP OUT.

Some of my classmates came from other places or have other nationalities-Visayas, Mindanao, India, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, Spain :) Cool.

A little adjustment is all I need and I can live here with no problem. Wish me luck. :)

MUCH LOVE ♥

Ahead of everyone else.

2009-06-09T16:17:00.007+08:00

So, there's this girl who's actually a pop star but only her family and best friends know. Quit the narration! It's Miley Stewart a.k.a. Hannah Montana and she has her own TV series, and now her own movie. Everyone (well, almost) is excited to see this movie which will be shown here in the Philippines on July 8. The thing is, I got the thrills and spills ahead of every Filipino.

I know piracy is such a bad thing, and you might get imprisoned for it, but I still used it to download and watch the most-awaited Hannah Montana the Movie (though it's just a cinema copy). It took me a week before I finally downloaded the whole thing.

So, I watched the movie, and it hit me in an instant. It was about family, friendship, relationships, priorities, maturity, and honesty, to name a few. It's amazing-the plot, the characters, everything! Every girl (or probably some boys) could relate to Miley Stewart and how she courageously struggled to become the best of both worlds.

The original cast still portrayed their roles, and new people were added. One of them was Lucas Till. He became part of the lead cast as Travis, Miley's childhood friend from Crowley Meadows, Tennessee. Here's a picture of him with Miley and Taylor:

Here's another one, this time it's only him:

After making this movie, I give Miley and the rest of the cast and crew two thumbs up for the success of this film :)

Oh, and did I mention that Lucas Till is so hot? *_

Freshman on board.

2009-06-03T15:10:00.004+08:00

Let's see. There's still 6 days till the start of classes, and 4 days till I transfer to my dorm. THAT'S LESS THAN A WEEK. :)

I've packed my things, and washed my uniforms and bedsheets. So, the last thing to do is wait.

So, how was the preparation for college and Manila life? Very tiring.

1. Finding the perfect bag. Before, I use totes so that all my school stuff (and kikay stuff) could fit in with no problem. Now, I realized I should use backpacks (with a lil' style) so that my thick books and other stuff could fit in. But the question was: What brand? A lot (of brands) came to my mind till I got tired of thinking and went to looking. I went to a lot of Robinsons Department stores and found a single match that caught my eye at an instant. It's red and black all over with a bit of white polka dots and colorful monsters with a touch of glitter. Ain't it nice? I bought it with no hesitations.

2. Looking for a hoodie with style. I've got a lot of choices in mind: retro, electro, girly, artistic, colorful, etc. But when I saw the jacket at Redgirl, I knew it was the one. It's black and green, and has cream vectors. Awesome.

3. Looking for bedsheets. So, we went to this store that's got really low prices. We looked for some bedsheets and we had a hard time finding bedsheets with cool designs and with the right size 'cause they were all for the queen sizes. It took us 30 minutes before the saleslady realized there was more in the stockroom. DUH. Finally, we got some bedsheets.

4. Buying school shoes. This was the tiring part. After I got my uniform at Aling Ising's uniform center in Dapitan, we went to the Mall of Asia to buy some shoes. We first entered the dept. store 'cause there are a lot of shoes there to choose from but I didn't get a pair. It was either my size wasn't available or they're too hard, or the quality isn't that good, or they don't fit my feet perfectly. It took us two hours to finally find the almost perfect shoes from Rusty Lopez. It was kinda costly, but the money was worth it. It's comfy and it's the school shoe-type. Haha.

5. Buying toiletries. Of course, I'm not at home where all the things are at the palm of your hands. I'm gonna stay in a dormitory. So, my things are practically ZERO; the cabinet is empty. I went to the supermarket to purchase the basic things I needed (that includes my medicine). It was like buying home essentials for the first time! Haha. But I had fun.

So that's it. As Spongebob often says, "I'm ready!"

MUCH LOVE ♥

Swine Flu is in Pampanga: Rumor or Fact?

2009-05-27T16:51:00.004+08:00

Yesterday, I was shocked to read the message forwarded by my friend saying that 2 patients infected with the swine flu virus were admitted to JBL hospital in the City of San Fernando, Pampanga.

Think about it. The JBL hospital is a government-owned hospital that's not the kind of hospital you are dreaming to be confined in. It's not that clean and the facilities are not that good. Seriously, do you think someone who has this swine flu virus would be confined to that kind of hospital? Duh.

I talked to my other friend awhile ago whose mom has business with the CSFP mayor. I asked him if the rumor is a fact.

" Mom just finished her meeting with the mayor. The rumor isn't true, but there are 8 swine flu-infected Taiwanese in Pampanga. "

So, there you have it. The swine flu virus in Pampanga is a rumor, but let's be extra cautious. Remember to wash your hands everytime.

Always remember this miracle: Do you know why it rains in the summer? Doctors say that the swine flu virus is airborne, and the rain cleans the air. God is so good :)

MUCH LOVE ♥

I hope dreams do come true.

2009-05-26T16:01:00.003+08:00

I was asked by my friends what I'll do 3 years from now. I thought, hey. That's when I'll turn 18. Digging into my vivid thoughts I found an answer. I wanna travel. I want to go to Europe. Think about it. Europe is the hottest destination! (rock) Spain.. France.. Italy.. Rome.. Germany.. Great Britain.. Austria.. Prague.. Monaco.. Everything you need is there! Just ride a train and you can go to any point in Europe. Good thing I have relatives there; I could still feel home.

THAT'S EUROPE!

I could already see it-different kinds of cheese, gelato, wine, race car driving, tourist spots like the Eiffel Tower, the Leaning Tower of Pisa, and Big Ben, pizza, pasta, and of course the Pope! lol. Oh my God, I can't wait.

BIG BEN :)

LEANING TOWER OF PISA :)

EIFFEL TOWER :)

But of course, no matter how you see it, it'll still be 3 years, 3 long years, and I'm gonna have to wait, study hard, save money, and the like. But I still believe that my love for cheese and gelato will take me a long way. :P

MUCH LOVE ♥

Hyperacidic.

2009-05-25T15:12:00.002+08:00

When I got home from Subic 2 days ago, I found out that I was hyperacidic.

It was a normal day. My family and I planned to have lunch in Subic but apparently, it was a late lunch. We got off at 1, and reached Subic at 2. I said, "Let's have lunch in a Japanese resto, since we kinda skipped lunch." But Dad didn't agree; he decided to take us to Meat Plus Cafe. So, as I was browsing the menu, I found some penne pasta with white sauce which, unfortunately, was sold out. So much for hopes and pasta. Okay, I settled for burger. Meat Plus burger, that is. It was a double-patty burger with TLC. We were enjoying the food and the company and all, until...

"Mom, I think I got a heart burn."

"What?!! I think it's because of the burger. You're not used to eating that much. Just rest and it'll be gone in a while."

So, after eating, we took a roadtrip to White Rock to ask the prices and to see the place.

"Mom, it's still not going anywhere. :("

"Drink hot coffee of tea when we get home."

When we arrived home, I immediately asked my yaya to get me a cup of coffee (her recipe is the best). When I drank it, I was like.. Okay. This'll get off after I take a shower.

But it didn't. Bullshit. It hurts so much, and I had a hard time breathing. I just had to text my aunt who happens to be a pediatrician.

The revelation had happened. I was diagnosed with hyperacidity. Ouch. At first, I was like.. Hey, it's just hyperacidity. But then I thought, I could never eat the food I grew with-fatty, sweet, spicy foods, and soda. Big no-no. Dang! Maybe it's time I live with healthy food, be more green and stuff like that. Although, it's not a crime to eat those once in a while. After all, eating prohibited food is a naughty yet satisfying deal. :P

MUCH LOVE ♥

I finally have my customized blog! :D yey for me.

2009-05-19T15:35:00.002+08:00

This is my renovated blog, so to speak. I got it from Blogskins, as suggested by Chin. I found a lot of CSS to suit my personality, but this one tops because I'm a really colorful person, having different moods and all. I edited the HTML, but since I don't have that much knowledge in these stuff, I sought help from Chin, and other friends. We went through a lot of trials and errors, and voila! I have the best CSS I could have ever imagined. The font color's pink basically because I'm a girl and pink, well.. it describes a teenage girl. (haha!)

Hope you like it ;)

MUCH LOVE ♥

Korea's hottest sensations are Philippines' too.

2009-05-15T16:02:00.002+08:00

Yes, you read it right. Ever since the rumors came that ABS-CBN will air Boys over Flowers, Korea's own remake of the famous Japanese manga, Hanayori Dango, people, especially teen girls (maybe even women of all ages. LMAO), went gaga over this 'Koreanovela'. People browsed Youtube and watched the episodes so that they could be ahead of everybody else, downloaded pictures of the Korean F4, and of course, they simply went gaga. And when the time has come for ABS-CBN to finally air it on TV, people stuck their eyeballs to the TV monitor like crazy.

"I love Goo Joon Pyo!" "I love Yoon Ji Hoo!" "Aaaaaaaaah!"
SEE THE MANIA?

But I don't why this 'Koreanovela' isn't clinging to me like what Meteor Garden (Taiwan's version of Hanayori Dango) did. I remember 5 years ago, when MG was still aired, I bought an episode guide, F4's album CD, and a Starstudio magazine with an oversized photo of the original F4. I watched it over and over and over and over again on TV (coz computers and laptops are so rare that time); I just couldn't help it.

Even though I'm a Kapamilya, I used to watch 'Kapuso Koreanovelas'. One of my favorites was Stairway to Heaven. It's a story of selfless love, how Cholo (the lead guy) took care of his girlfriend, Jodie (the lead girl), who was about to die from cancer. She even got blind! But nevertheless, cholo still took care of her. Here's the whole plot from Wiki:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stairway_to_Heaven_(TV_series)

Koreanovelas are part of a Filipino life, whether he is a Kapamilya or a Kapuso. Expect it that every season there's this new Koreanovela to sink in our hearts; it's up to you if it will.

MUCH LOVE ♥

A post-greet and a poll both in one post :)

2009-05-11T14:05:00.003+08:00

Good afternoon. (Manila time: 2:43 pm)

To all the mums out there: Belated happy mothers' day! ♥
To all the kids out there: What did you do yestie for mum? Did you thank, kiss, and hug her? (I sound like mum. Haha!)
To both: Hope you had a great time yestie! :)

If you ask what I gave my mum, well.. I gave her the latest album of her favorite singer- Jed Madela. Here's the album cover: http://www.1019forlife.com/Portals/1/Skins/DWRR/images/jedCDcover.jpg
It had songs written in the 80's and 90's, and they were my mum's faves so it was the perfect gift for her. My previous choice was to give her a bouquet full of white roses, carnations, tulips, and stargazers. But then again, I changed my mind.

So, here's the poll I'm talking about. I was wondering what brand is the best when it comes to laptops. I wanna buy one for college. I want something that's easy to use and doesn't wear off easily. I'm choosing among Dell, Apple, Lenovo, Toshiba, and Sony Vaio. So, whatcha think?

MUCH LOVE ♥

Starting off with a smile :)

2009-05-08T16:20:00.000+08:00

So, move over. Newbie here writing this post for you guys.

It's 4.22 pm, and I've discovered something new. I felt it was time to make one. Inspired by unfortunate doll, I made my very own blog hosted by Blogger. It's not much, but I'm really satisfied with it.

I have four web accounts, three of which are always updated:
Facebook account: Sorry guys. This account is private for my family and friends.
Plurk account: plurk.com/icathomasian
Twitter account: twitter.com/icapineda Follow me. LOL.

So, I'm a really big fan of Taylor Swift. I've followed her Twitter account, and I also have her songs in my iPod. I want to share this vid of hers; hope you like it.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=51Lv9vs6xwo

I also watch Jeff Dunham's vids. I loooooove Achmed, with a little lot of phlegm in his corpse throat. OMG, he really knows my funny bone's location. XD

I leave you off with another photo of mine, this time with my family.
