Seasons of Love ~ RENT -     Sooner my five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes will be over.  I am about to face another year, another challenge to face and another mountain to climb.  The days had gone by so fast, this year has been, hmm dunno I don’t want to label it as heartbreaking but it is. Although tragic and sadness filled my heart this year, I am thankful that I am still alive and kicking; blessed with everything.  I have a lot of good memories this year and a lot of first times too; the places I've visited, the contest I joined and crazy adventures.  For the last three days, I successfully detached myself to the web world. I decided to travel, to my hometown to visit the grannies. I missed my place, the air, the sunset, the sea and the

source I know it was tough to celebrate Christmas this year because of the tragedy but still we should celebrate Christmas despite of everything. I am indeed thankful to God for everything, for taking care of my family, loved ones and friends. Although we are not complete this year it is not the reason to be sad. I'll see you soon ate fam, we truly miss you and I pray for your safety.  waaaa definitely!!

Last Friday, I couldn't imagine that this tragedy would happen here in our place. Friday, December 17, 2011, a storm named Sendong washed out all the people's houses here in the city where I lived for almost 5 years. It was disheartening; I saw dead bodies of people and children on the street. I couldn't believe that in that moment while I was sleeping, other people were at the top of their houses, screaming for help, it was so dark, there was no electricity, everybody was busy saving their own lives. It was just 5 hours of heavy rain and there are hundreds of people found dead even hundreds are missing till now. The City is now in the state of calamity.

Title: To Kill a Mockingbird Author: Harper Lee Finally, I’m done reading this book! I decided to read the book when I saw the video from Sparknotes.com. I have downloaded videos from them and I started to listen to each of them. I like the way they review the whole story and the lessons you will learn from it. This is basically a family and growing up story. *Spoiler Alert* The story revolves around with the main characters, Scout, Jem and Atticus Finch in a sleepy town of Maycomb Alabama. Atticus Finch is a lawyer and a widowed father living with his two children, Scout and Jem with their loyal black cook Miss Calpurnia. One summer, Scout and Jem befriended a boy named Dill. One day, Dill was fascinated by the mysterious house on their street which was called the Radley place. The house was owned by Mr. Nathan Radley, living together with his brother Arthur known as Boo. Dill dared Scout and Jem to let Boo come out of his house. Boo has been in the house for as

source A girl who sits alone in a room full of people. No one ever saw her, even care to approach her. I know she smiles but deep inside she's hiding something. A crowd wouldn't even notice her presence. She even pretend that she's busy, though deep inside she wanted to cry.   I experienced being miss invisible when I was a kid. Tell me, who wants to be alone? I wanted to have friends but they didn't even notice a kid like me. I started to asked myself, what's wrong with me?! But I couldn't figure out what was the problem, I was just a kid though. I tried so hard to fit in but nobody wants to be with me. I was bullied and I cried every-time until to the point that I don't want to go to school but of course my mother forced me to go to school hehe, I didn't told her that I was bullied at school. I started to approached them but they said they don't like me, they said I was ugly.Duh?Big deal?But as a kid, I felt so sad. Just because of my phys

I know Christmas is coming so I wanna share one of my favorite song during this special holiday. Enjoy!

carpal tunnel or  carpal canal  is the passageway on the palmar side of the wrist that connects the forearm to the middle compartment of the deep plane of the palm.   source source I was searching about what is carpal tunnel syndrome cause I have this numbness on my fingers due to typing for long hours. I've heard this syndrome from friends and colleagues. So, I'm just curious about this carpal tunnel syndrome and decided to search it on youtube. Kindly see the video below for the clear explanation about carpal tunnel. 

source I can’t eat well these past few days. I have this shallow white wound with a red border on my tongue and it was really painful. The canker sore is now an inch inside my mouth and I felt uncomfortable especially when I try to eat and drink something, there is that burning feeling and I felt like crying. I was like: Ouch. Owh!!! Help!  Uwaaaaa. I want this canker sore to be gone forever and ever unfortunately the sore wants to stay for awhile argggh how long will it take? I don’t have to worry since canker sores are not that contagious. In the first place what’s the reason behind this and why do I have this aphthous ulcer? According to kidshealth , there might be a connection between canker sores and stress. I’m stress?! I don’t think so! –insert denial moment here.  One reason might be a sharp tooth or other dental use such as the braces and/or ill-fitting dentures. Well, FYI I don’t wear braces more importantly I don’t have dentures. Maybe

I was trying to look for the script of the Vagina Monologue: Say it! For the Comfort Women by Eve Ensler , which is about sexual violence among women. We have performed this monologue during the 5th Anniversary of the company. Though, it was my first time to perform a monologue and was my first time also to encounter such a heavy story. At first, I couldn't believe that this happened long ago during the Japanese war, I guess. Eve Ensler has plenty of vagina monologues which is of course relates to vagina, but the piece that she wrote is that a vagina is a tool for female empowerment.  Since, I couldn't find the script, here's the video performed by the student of Hampshire College.

I don't want to be sad.argh! drama queen. I realized I love this song. This is just a short post. lmao. Anyway, hmmm, errrr.. I dunno --- I know, I'm just kinda annoyed lately. I hate it. waaaa I miss someone everytime I heard this song. Can you get here? get here if you can. 

I don't know what I want, so don't ask me. I totally agree with Taylor Swift, I think she was 13 or 11 when she wrote this song. At that age, does she know already her passion or what she wanted to do in life? I have this moment of silence, thinking what I want in life. I'm still trying to figure it out really. They say "follow your heart, follow your Passion" weeeeeee that's so easy to say but sounds hard. link I know that I'm not the only one who feels this way. Maybe others discover their passion when they're still a baby (seriously?) haha! I kid. I know for a fact that I will struggle if I try to push myself on thinking what is it that I want. What area in my life, my skills, my talent that I'm so passionate about?

link Gah! I've done pretty stupid things today. As you can see I changed my house, my blogger-template-again. I've done something wrong on the html codes and the blogger post was GONE! All my posts were nowhere to be found! huhu. I don't know how to put it back; I started to worry but I kept my composure.  uwaaaa, the problem was, after uploading the new template, I have 2 blog posts under the layout area.  weeeee, I dunno how to delete it since I cannot delete it on the layout page. I'm so desperate to delete the other blog post, what I did was, I stupidly deleted it on the HTML codes and save the changes! To my horror, I saw my blog with no post. Whoa! I was thinking to start a new blog again, but how about all my post? Oh heavens, I was like: what should I do? OH NO!   I should fix this!!  

Yay! It's October already! I'm so excited for December actually, hehe, for the reason that a special person will be home this Christmas! yey! I'm wiggling my tail. hoho. Anyway, this is my first post for October. I actually love this challenge, just found this out on tumblr, so why not give it a try. I like/adore/love Japanese animated films especially from Studio Ghibli. I've posted this challenge on my tumblr blog, but I decided to post it here since I want to read this over and over again.  1. First Studio Ghibli movie? My first studio Ghibli film movie was Spirited Away. Our neighbor told us to watch it, so we did. What I like about the movie was it has a unique plot. The characters are so cute. The scene and soundtrack complement the whole story. It was a fulfilling fantasy movie. I love watching animated films and that’s the first time I fell in love with Studio Ghibli films. 2. Favorite Studio Ghibli movie and why? Howl’s Moving Castle

When boredom strikes me I make sure that I have to run off and divert my attention to other things that would make me more productive.  Some of my friend would ask me what I would do if the state of being bored hits me. Well, that’s not kinda hard. Haha! Anyway, I want to share my simple five ways to escape boredom. 1.     Watch a movie . Yes, hehe, I frequently download movies that suits to my taste.  I love watching films especially animation, romance, comedy and pretty much suspense with a matching twist and turn of the plot. I usually go to IMDB.com to check the movie ratings which is pretty much important in choosing a good movie to watch; of course you don’t want to waste your time on watching with a predictable plot. 2.     Read Books online and offline . I have plenty of books in hand and there are amazing post in the web world which is actually helpful and inspiring. I usually read self-enhancement blogs, I subscribed to their blog so I won’t visit t

Today’s homily is all about forgiveness. I thought of it for awhile and I said it’s so hard to forgive someone who made your life miserable, isn’t it? I’m only human; I can get angry and hate that someone, a natural instinct especially when I’ve been hurt badly. But God can forgive us that easy. Is it because God is not a human? Or God loves us that much that he doesn’t want to lose us? Matthew 18:21-25 is about the Parable of the Unmerciful Servant. 21   Then Peter came to Jesus and asked, “Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother or sister who sins against me? Up to seven times?”  22  Jesus answered, “I tell you, not seven times, but seventy-seven times.   23   “Therefore, the kingdom of heaven is like a king who wanted to settle accounts with his servants.  24  As he began the settlement, a man who owed him ten thousand bags of gold   was brought to him.  25  Since he was not able to pay, the  master ordered that he and his wife and his children and all that he had be

Safe Haven is the new book added to my Nicholas Sparks collection novels. I guess my goal 101  is on the move now. hehe, I stopped buying books since I felt like I was book hoarding already. I bought plenty of books which turned out I didn't have time to read --- I mean all of them.  But this book was a gift from a very cutie friend of mine, I didn't expect that. It was her birthday but picture this out she gave me a gift. hehe, She's really a kind hearted lady. She knows that I adore Nicholas Sparks and I'll be ecstatic to have one. Safe Haven is my fourth book now. Yehay!! I will read this one maybe this weekend so I can post the review. Thank you so much to my cutie sister Elj for this book. waaaa I told her I have to buy her one. I will, next time *wink* Smile xD Here's the summary: When a mysterious young woman named Katie appears in the small North Carolina town of Southport, her sudden arrival raises questions about her past. Beautiful ye

I wanna share something. This was from my friend Janice, so I would like to share it. It's nice to reflect once in awhile.  To:YOU  Date: TODAY  From: THE BOSS  Subject:YOURSELF  Reference: LIFE  Author: Sis Jhet I am God. Today I will be handling all of your problems. Please remember that I do not need your help.  If life happens to deliver a situation to you that you cannot handle, do not attempt to resolve it. Kindly put it in the SFGTD (something for God to do) box. All situations will be resolved, but in My time, not yours. Once the matter is placed into the box, do not hold onto it by worrying about it. Instead, focus on all the wonderful things that are present in your life now. If you find yourself stuck in traffic; Don’t despair. There are people in this world for whom driving is an unheard of privilege. Should you have a bad day at work; Think of the man who has been out of work for years!  Source
