i could not believe we (me and the bf) already reached this far in our relationship. i wanna congratulate ourselves. haha. yeah i know it's not that really long like the others, but i consider this as an achievement already. \m/ 

bf bringin mah thing!
happy 6 months noy! i ♥ u.

our day started out real good. of course, it's our monthsary so it should be good. hehe. this time we planned what to do, but we did not plan where to go.  we planned to try zip lining.  thought we would be trying it in busay, but we ended up in balamban. i did not try it. i swear it was really scary. Shane (the bf) would've wanted to try it, but i insisted.hehe..I CAN'T DO IT!

Balamban's zipline.

we had our stopover in ADVENTURE CAFE, Balamban. it was my/our 1st time there. he never failed to introduce me to places i've never ever visited my whole life.  by that i am and will forever grateful to him. ^^,  the scenic was really nice and the air was so fresh.  i never thought i would be chilled there. the air was freakin cool.hehe.

Christmas Wish


Christmas is so around the corner and my Christmas wishes as well. haha

Here are my lists.

1. CHUCK TAYLOR

i am not really fond of sneakers or rubber shoes, but i really would want to have one like this (exactly the same color below..weeee).

2. CAMERA/VIDEO CAMERA

i am an addict! a camera whore that is. i love taking photos of myself and others. i love capturing random moments. i love making film/videos. i am a frustrated director..lolz

6.  OVERNIGHT STAY

i wanna escape city's hustle and bustle life. i so need a time for myself to relax and unwind.

any resorts would do
just as long as i can relax

Those are few of so many things I want to have this Christmas.  I know some are impossible to achieve, but sooner I would have one of those.  

Anyway, what I really want  this Christmas is to spend time with my love ones-my family, my KISHKACHIE family, my closest friends, and my one and only bf (this would be our first Christmas together).

Besides, Christmas is not really about material things. It's about the LOVE you share.  That's what really matters most.

This Christmas I want. . .

LOVE

 and

PEACE

May this Christmas 2010 leaves good memories that would be cherished forever.  

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

: (


This really aint a good week for me.  I felt like all the unluckiness in the world had just poured on me.  hahaiz! If only. . .but too  late!

I'm sad because our internet connection has been disconnected since this Friday.  So meaning there would be no class for me the whole week. BUSINESS IS GOING TO BE SO DOWN! urggggggh!  

We already paid the due and the PLDT Clerk said the connection would be back within 48 hours.  And today is the 48th hour, but there is still no connection available! I tried calling their customer service but no one answered! When will the connection be available again?! I so miss my class, really!

(Lesson: Pay the bill on or before the due date.)

This week I'm hurting without knowing the reason why.  I really can't figure it out!  Perhaps, there are so many things going in my mind. I hate it!  There are times that I just wanted to cry at night.  It does make me feel good though.

I just hope next week, my life would be back to normal again. Me having my class again with a good internet connection of course.  This iffy emotions would stop visiting me so that I wouldn't feel anything odd anymore.

GOD BLESS me!

5th month 110410

Today, I woke up with an odd feeling.  I don't know why.  Perhaps, it was because of the rain.  I was too lazy to get up or maybe because I was just thinking too much.

Anyway, I still have reason to celebrate because it's me and Shane's (the BF) 5th month.weee...days seem moving real fast.

took me hours to finish this thing. whew!hehe

We didn't plan any of these. Best things really happen when it's unplanned.

Our first stop was in TABOR HILLS, Talamban, Cebu City-It's a house of prayer. But we didn't go there to pray..hehe.  We just visited the place.

first stop!

Few of the many beautiful spots in Tabor Hills.

Having a great time.

Lord, it's nice to be here!

Our next stop was D' FAMILY PARK. The last time I visited the place was year 2002. So, I was like 14 years old that time. After 9 years of not visiting the place, I was so back. hehe

The place is still the same.  Nothing's changed.

clean and green.

on our way home.

The last stop was in Pajo's MCDO.

w/ my twister fries.

The celebration was indeed a memorable one. The ride was really fun. It was drizzling too. weee. The weather was a bit crazy, but i still had so much fun.  I had a great time with him today.  May the Lord bless our relationship.

P.S: thanks noy for the ride!:) I ♥ U!

IT DOES MATTER!

i don't really get why people seem to have a big fuss about numerals (height,weight,age,money,etc.).  it's freakin me out all the time.urgggh! i always fail to understand why life sometimes is unfair. even though i've always read about that life is FAIR. how will i understand that life is fair when in fact i experience it myself? i know i should be open-minded at all times, but i really can't help myself for thinking this way. this really is bugging me out. : ( if only things are easier, i would've lived an easier life too. but it isn't. i have to deal with the reality of life that LIFE IS NEVER AN EASY JOURNEY.  it's up to you how you will manage the hardships of life to make it easier.

a lot of people say that height, weight,age, etc. don't really matter. oh c'mon?! are you kidding me? yes! it matters. it really does! in my case i don't worry about my weight & age. what worry me the most is my height. i just hope people are not so discriminating enough so that i won't worry about it anymore. perhaps, if they don't, i might not be wishing for the stars to add an inch or two or more for my height. argggggggh!

i am 23 y/o. i don't even reach 5 flat. so that's how petite i am. people even mistaken me as a highschool student or worst a kid. i don't know if that's a compliment or what. thanks, anyway. but i don't need your opinion! for 23 years that's what i get all the time. can you just imagine how pathetic i am. people's opinions are not helping me gain confidence. they're helping me lose it slowly. i wish they knew how was it like to be me so that they would bother to understand that being me was never easy. how about switching places? you like? i just only have one wish. i wish they would stop telling me about it because it really doesn't help! i'm begging you pleaaassssssse...let me be happy!

if i had the chance to live life again, i would ask God to never let me be this small again. i'm not asking for really tall heights, just an average height will do to me. just not this small as i am now. it's really hard. people make fun of you. i hope they realize what they're doing. tsktsk!

what makes it unfair for short ones. we never get a job easily because employers think we can't do better. (hello! we're just small we're not idiots!) we can't join fashion shows. fashion shows are for taller people. (hmmp! excuse me?! are we not humans too? can't we wear dress like they do?tsktsk.) always mistaken as a kid. (well, in this matter it has a double meaning. it's just a matter of how you perceive it.hehe)

right now, i still get a lot of silly/non-sense opinions from people.  it still hurts me like hell. i think it won't stop. perhaps, it would just stop when i die. may the Lord bless those people.

when in doubt!

oh how i hate myself when i'm doubting. everything seems fake! i don't wanna believe everything i hear, i see and feel. what's the matter with me? i hate this feeling. i don't wanna feel this way. this is so bad. T T  : (

how can i not feel this? how can i avoid this?waaaaaaaah!

i'm acting too paranoid when i'm in doubt! i don't even know the reason why i doubt!tsktsk...oh LORD help me!

MANILA

i've always wanted to go to Manila and ride an airplane.  wish granted when i was asked to be with my manager and one of my co-workers for an exhibit  in SM MEGAMALL  for the Philippine Travel Mart (PTM). it was such a great blessing for me. who would've thought i would be able to go there for free....: )

my plane ticket

my first time and i was seated near the window!weeeee

WELCOME TO MANILA!

view from the top (hotel room)

the moment i arrived in manila i wasn't that amazed. yes! they have tall buildings and i mean really tall ones. the place was way too crowded, way too traffic and way too polluted. i don't wish to live in a place like that. i wanted to live in a place that's serene and have fresh air to breathe.

my first time in manila was such an unforgettable one. how can i forget it? due to my ever carelessness i lost my wallet. someone unzipped my bag and took my wallet without me noticing it! weird!huh?! i've got no idea how that stupid jerk stole it!tsktsks...i'm still thankful though that nothing bad happened to me. i arrived in cebu safe and sound and that jerk didn't include my digicam as well.  so, it only goes to show that he was only interested in my money! that jerk is so lucky to have my wallet. aside from that big amount he also has my picture!hahahaha...

that experience has taught me a lot. it taught me how to stay strong and how to fight the cruelty of life. it leaves a message that i should take extra careful all the time. there's no place for carelessness here. carelessness should be the last resort. be always aware!

i may lost a lot of money that time but it didn't make me depress at all.  as what my brother said " don't be too bothered of what's lost...it's just money you can find it. what's important you're safe."  my brother was so right! that's why when someone asked me how i am, i simply answered them "I'M GOOD!"

see, how GOOD i am?

11 WAYS A GUY IS JUST NOT THAT INTO YOU!

GIRLS BEWARE!

This is how you spot a guy if he's not interested in you.

1. He's just not that into you if he's not asking you out.  Because if he likes you, he will ask you out.

Reminder: Men find it very satisfying to get what they want. If they want you, they'll find you.

Please don't tell he's just "scared."  The only t hing he's scared of is how not attracted to you he is.

• If  a guy truly likes you, but for personal reasons he needs to take things slow, he will let you know that immediately.  He won't keep you guessing because he'll want to make sure you don't get frustrated and go away.
• When men want you, they do the work.  I know it sounds old school, but when men like women, they ask them out.

"When it comes to men, deal with them as they are, not how you'd like to them."

2. He's just not that into you if he's not calling you.  Men know how to use the phone.

• Men are never too  busy  to get what they want.
• A man has got to have his priorities.
• If he's not calling you, it's because you are not on his mind.

3. He's just not that into you if he's not dating you.  "Hanging out" is not dating.

• Beware of the word "friend."  It can often be used by men or the women that love them to excuse the most unfriendly behavior.
• Guys tell you how they feel even if you refuse to listen or believe them.  " I don't want to be in a serious relationship" truly means " I don't want to be in a serious relationship with you" or " I'm not sure you're the one." (Sorry!)
• If you don't know where the relationship is going, it's okay to pull over and ask.
• Better than nothing is not good enough for you. 

4. He's just not that into you if he's not having sex with you.  When men like you, they want to touch you always.

• If a man is not trying to undress you, he's not into you.
• A lot of people believe that one of the strongest ingredients to a healthy union is sex.
• Learn it, live it, like it, love it: If a man likes you, he's going to have sex with you.

5. He's just not that into you if he's having sex with someone else.  There's never going to be a good excuse for cheating.

• If he's sleeping with someone else without your knowledge or encouragement, he is not only behaving like a man who's just not that into you, he's behaving like a man who doesn't even like you that much.
• There is no excuse for cheating.  Cheating is cheating.  It doesn't matter whom it was with or how many times it happened.

6. He's just not that into you if he only wants to see you when he's drunk.  If he likes you, he'll want to see you when his judgment isn't impaired.

• You can't believe everything a guy says when he's drunk.
• Ladies, don't let your desire to be loved and feel affection cloud your judgment.
• If he only wants to see you, talk to you, have sex with you, etc., when he's inebriated, it ain't love-it's sport.

7. He's just not that into you if he doesn't want to marry you.  Love cures commitment phobia.

• Don't spend your time on and give your heart to any guy who makes you wonder about anything related to his feelings for you.
• If you don't feel like you're rushing, why are you waitng?

8. He's just not that into you if he's breaking up with you.  "I don't want to go out with you means just that."

• A man who wants to make a relationship work will move mountains to keep the woman he loves.
• Here's what guys don't do if they can't live wihtout you: They can't break up with you.
• What the guy is doing during a relationship recess:  He's sniffing around for something better, and when he doesn't find it, he gets lonely and comes "home."
• One simple rule, ladies: Always be classy.  Never be crazy.

9. He's just not that into you of he's disappointed on you.  Sometimes you have to get closure all by yourself.

• There's no mystery- he's gone and he wasn't good enough for you.

10. He's just not that into you if he's married (and other insane variations of being unavailable).  If you're not able to love freely, it's not really love.

• No matter how powerful and real your feelings may be for someone, if that person cannot fully and honestly return them and therefore actively love you back, these feelings mean nothing.

11. He's just not that into you if he's a selfish jerk, a bully, or a really big freak.  If you really love someone, you want to do things to make that person happy.

• Here's a trick of not falling in love with an asshole:  Forget about him and his good qualities.  even forget about his bad ones.  Forget about all his excuses and what he promises.  Ask yourself one question only, " Is he making me happy?" People are complicated.  They are mixed bag of lovable and dysfunctional qualities.  That's why they are so darn confusing.  That's why trying to figure them out is a waste if time.

TEACHING

The good thing about being a teacher is you learn PATIENCE. The bad thing about being a teacher is you learn PATIENCE. : )

Ever since I was a kid I always wanted to be an educator.  I remember back then my aunt bought me a box of chalk and a blackboard so I could feel the essence of being a teacher. I was so happy then.  I even gathered my younger cousins to my home and be my students. Sometimes, I locked myself in my room, made visual aids and taped it on the wall then talked to my imaginary students.  Yes, I had imaginary students.  If some people had imaginary friends, in my case I had imaginary students.  I bet they're all successful now. hehehe.  

But, when I reached highschool my plans changed.  I didn't wanna be an educator anymore.  Lesson Plans discouraged me.  I hated doing it.  It's like going back to school again.  So, I decided to look for something else and decided to be in a MASS MEDIA world. So, I took Mass Communication.  People at home thought I would get an Education degree, but to their amused I got a Mass Communication degree instead.  

I didn't regret any decisions I made.  As what the adage says, "what you do is always your choice."

Even though I didn't pursue being an educator my life still is associated with it.  Right now I am an online ESL Teacher.  I teach Korean students online and I am happy with it.  They learn from me and I learn from them.  As what they say, teaching is a two-way process.

faces of me having online classes. lol

I CAN’T UNDERSTAND!

The day my mom knew I had a boyfriend, she acts differently.  She becomes more possessive.  I know she’s like that, but I never realized that she’s that SO POSSESSIVE.  

 

I don’t get why my mom is so possessive of me having a boyfriend.  Every time I go out with my boyfriend she keeps on monitoring me.  She keeps on thinking I might be doing anything nasty.  One time I asked permission to have dinner with my BF at some barbecue place, she suddenly lectured me with a lot of advance thoughts.  So I was like mad at her for thinking that way.  It feels like she doesn't  trust  me.  I even told her to stop thinking what she’s thinking.

And every time I go out with my boyfriend I never fail to text her for I know she’ll be upset if I forgot.  So, one forgotten text would mean millions of lecture. 

I never really understand why she’s like that.  I can’t understand her! I am trying to understand, but I still fail to do so.  All I wanted is for her to understand me so that I can understand her as well.  Promise, I won’t marry not until I reach 27 0r 30 years old (I hope so! Help me Lord!).  I know my priorities and getting married is the least priority I have.

So, maybe when I have kids on my own I would understand her possessiveness.  But right now I feel so much hurt because she doesn't even trust me.  Trust is all I ever wanted from her.

PS: Ma, I still appreciate everything you've done for me. I LOVE YOU! THANK YOU!

nothing!

a boring saturday

i can't wait till the clock ticks 5. it's almost 4:45 pm in our office clock. 15 mins to go and i'm off to go.  i'm so in a hurry to go because i'm so hungry! and i wanna eat a lot once i get home. i still don't know what to eat though, but i think first on the least would be CREAM-O! yeah! such a cream-o-holic!yummy!

anyways, time seems movin a bit slow today.   it's such a boring day inside the office.  checking fb and playing tumblebugs are two of the things that i do repeatedly.  such a boriiiing thing! until i review my mails from my yahoo.  i saw this mail from my student and i suddenly missin her.  maybe she's too busy or she's forgotten me already.  i do hope not.  i wanna remain the friendship we shared.  it's been almost a year since her last mail. i hope by this year, i would be able to hear from her.☺

            Student Elly and Me 

i dunno

i don't know what i'm actually up these days. my blog seems not to be at its point as well. but anyways, i've realized that time really flies so fast (actually, i realized that so long time ago). i can't even believe it's actually february now. it seems like yesteryears were just yesterday. whoah! gettin too old quick huh?! that's ok!^^

reasons i blog now:
1st of all, i am bored! i am sleepy but i still don't wanna sleep so might as well take this chance to blog.
2nd of all, nobody uses the computer, so i got the chance. so i blog.
lastly, i feel like blogging. ^^

I was amazed seeing their picture when they were still young. :)
I wanna see & have more pics when they were younger.

i attended a birthday party today. i happened to be the emcee. so in connection with that i need to risk something. i didn't get to have classes with my 3 students today. hmmp! i felt bad because i didn't get a chance to inform them. i just hope they didn't feel anything bad towards me.

anyway, the party was ok. but, i don't know bout my emceeing thing! well, i tried my best then. i hope they all had a great time because i did.☺

4 ways of wearing the princess-like headband! (mugNa)

1. w/ bangs- show off your bangs. flaunt your asset as what people say. but, i'm not really saying that bangs is an asset. that would be up to you
2. under the bangs- u can put your headband under your bangs to feel the aura of a princess.
3. over the bangs- u can also wear it over if you don't want your bangs to annoy u.
4. keep the bangs- show off your wide forehead if you thought it's an asset. haha. just kiddin.

So that's it. you don't have to follow it if you don't like to.hehehe...
