on classes

For the nth time, classes are, again, suspended due to the threat of AH1N1 virus. A lot of catching up on the lessons are needed...and there might be a possibility that the missed schedules would just be a reading assignment and online activities, which means evaluations won't be moved, which means we are on cramming mode....which, of course means, i should start working now. ;s

a new notebook

Ive been a PC User ( dell to be exact) ever since I started to own one. So after 6 years of a really pleasant experience, I needed to search for a new notebook. Dell centers here in Ph doesn't have parts ready, they have to order it and I have to wait for a few weeks to have the parts shipped here...and I can't really wait any longer. Now, in my search, my first choice was the HP mini...but I wanted the Limited Vivienne Tam edition.

Beautiful right? Really perfect and cool. It'sUltra-sleek! A 10.1" display and just 2.45 lb.! Merely 1" thick!How much? Really cheap..for only Php 27,950. I was so ready to buy this beauty but there's just one big problem. Since it's a limited edition...well..it's limited! I called all the hp dealers around manila and they all have one answer...it's already sold out! ooohhh...poor me:-s In the hp website, however, it is still available...for $699.99..which already cost much more than how much it is priced here. And so I gave up.

Plan B. I've always been fascinated in Mac but dare not to wish for it...well because I think it's some form of luxury and I don't know...well...maybe I'm just really comfortable with Microsoft and I don't wanna try something else. But I've always heard good stuff about this brand, so I gave it a try. I called all the Mac dealers here in Ph and canvassed for the lowest price. I originally wanted a MacBook Air...But it's so thin and fragile I'm really sure I'm just gonna break it. So I settled for a White Mac Book. And so I found the store that's on Sale. At Alabang Festival Mall, they sell it really cheaper than other Mac outlets. And the minute I stepped on the store (really just a minute), I told the guy I'm gonna take it. (Well I asked my mom first of course).


And so we bought it. And boy! was I happy! I mean really super overly excited! The only time I felt like this was when I first held my first game boy and when I had my first car! haha! See?? It's extreme Happiness!


I don't know if Macs are better than PCs...and I think PCs are really great too. But gahhh...I'm just happy with this on my hands.. :)

on a really really cute movie

Penelope: [telling her class her story] And we lived happily ever after - well, happily ever after so far at least.

Child #1: I don't get it. What does it mean?

Penelope: Well, you tell me what you think it means.

Child #2: Rich people stink!

Child #3: It's always the mothers fault.

Child #4: It's not the power of the curse - it's the power you give the curse.

-------------------------

So what is it really? Do we really want to belong and be like others or do we want to be different and unique? We all have our own insecurities and most of the time we look for the wrong ways to overcome these. We seek other people's opinions and approvals to tell us we look just as fine, but in reality if there's anyone in the world who knows the real beauty in us should be ourselves, what makes us different is what makes us beautiful. It maybe an overrated thing to say but really.... how can anyone appreciate the good in you if you yourself can't see it? The moment we learn to accept what is given to us, that's the only time where we get what we've always wanted, what we deserve.



P.S

I really heart James McAvoy :)
This is a really cute movie^^

on gaming

Is this for real?? Gahh... I mean it's cool and all, the idea of voice recognition and no controller type of thing, that is cool, i mean with other stuff like working with computers because it will lessen the time and double the work...But with gaming??? seriously?? what about the combo moves? xiao yu's moves??? can you just imagine??? it'll brake all the bones I have!!! haha. No seriously...don't go overly addicted to "interactive' gaming. It's cool as it is...wireless controllers....not no controllers. dude....this is gonna be tiring... whew...

|NOSTALGIA

If you lived as a child in the 40's, 50's, 60's or 70's, looking back, it's hard to believe that we have lived as long as we have...
As children, we would ride in cars with no seat belts or air bags. Our cots were covered with bright coloured lead-based paint. We had no childproof lids on medicine bottles, doors, or cupboards, and when we rode our bikes we had no helmets.
We drank water from the garden hose and not from a bottle. We would spend hours building go-carts out of scraps and then ride down the hill only to find out we forgot the brakes. After running into the bushes a few times we learned to solve the problem.
We would leave home in the morning and play all day, as long as we were back when the streetlights came on. No one was able to reach us all day.
No mobile phones.
We got cut and broke bones and broke teeth, and there were no law suits from these accidents. They were accidents. No one was to blame, but us. Remember accidents?
We had fights and punched each other and got black and blue and learned to get over it.
We ate patty cakes, bread and butter, and drank cordial, but we were never overweight... we were always outside playing. We shared one drink with four friends, from one bottle and no one died from this.
We didn't have Playstations, Nintendo 64s, X-Boxes, video games, 65 channels on pay TV, video tape movies or DVD, surround sound, personal mobile phones, Personal Computers, Internet chat rooms ... we had friends. We went outside and found them. We rode bikes or walked to a friend's home and knocked on the door, or rung the bell, or just walked in and talked to them. Imagine such a thing. Without asking a parent! By ourselves! Out there in the cold cruel world! Without a guardian - how did we do it?
We made up games with sticks and tennis balls, and ate worms, and although we were told it would happen, we didn't put out very many eyes, nor did the worms live inside us forever.
Footy and netball had tryouts and not everyone made the team. Those who didn't had to learn to deal with disappointment.....
Some students weren't as smart as others so they failed a grade and were held back to repeat the same grade. Tests were not adjusted for those who couldn't make the grade.
Our actions were our own. Consequences were expected. No one to hide behind. The idea of a parent bailing us out if we broke a law was unheard of. They actually sided with the law - imagine that!
This generation has produced some of the best risk-takers and problem solvers and inventors, ever. The past 50 years has been an explosion of innovation and new ideas. We had freedom, failure, success and responsibility, and we learned how to deal with it all. And you're one of them.
Congratulations!

And just to make sure you have had enough ........... just for a minute, forget everything stressful and read this ................................. go back in time...
Before the Internet or the Apple Mac.
Before semi-automatics, joyriders and crack.... Before SEGA or Super Nintendo...
Way back........
I'm talking about Hide and Seek in the park. The corner shop. Hopscotch. Butterscotch. Skipping. Handstands. Football with an old can. Beano, Dandy, Buster, Twinkle and Dennis the menace. Roly Poly. Hula Hoops, jumping the stream, building dams.
The smell of the sun and fresh cut grass. Bazooka Joe bubble gum. A penny Arrow Bar. An ice cream cone on a warm summer night from the van that plays a tune, Chocolate or vanilla or strawberry or maybe Neapolitan


Wait..................................

Watching Saturday morning cartoons .... short commercials, The Double Deckers, Road Runner, He-Man, Zeebedee, Tiswas or Swapshop?, and 'Why Don't You'? - or staying up for Doctor Who. When around the corner seemed far away and going into town seemed like going somewhere. Earwigs, wasps, stinging nettles and bee stings. Sticky fingers. Cops and Robbers, Cowboys and Indians and Zorro. Climbing trees. Building igloos out of snow banks. Walking to school, no matter what the weather. Running till you were out of breath, laughing so hard that your stomach hurt. Jumping on the bed. Pillow fights. Spinning around, getting dizzy and falling down was cause for giggles.
Being tired from playing .... remember that?
The worst embarrassment was being picked last for a team. Water balloons were the ultimate weapon. Football cards in the spokes transformed any bike into a motorcycle. Choppers and Grifters.

I'm not finished just yet.......................

Eating raw jelly. Orange squash ice pops. Remember when...............
There were two types of trainers - girls and boys, and Dunlop Green and Flash and the only time you wore them at school was for P.E. You knew everyone in your street - and so did your parents. It wasn't odd to have two or three "best" friends. You didn't sleep a wink on Christmas eve.
When nobody owned a pure-bred dog. When half a crown was decent pocket money. When you'd reach into a muddy gutter for a penny. When nearly everyone's mum was in when the kids got home from school.
It was magic when dad would "remove" his thumb. When it was considered a great privilege to be taken out to dinner at a real restaurant with your parents. When any parent could discipline any kid, or feed him or use him to carry groceries and nobody, not even the kid, thought a thing of it. When being sent to the head's office was nothing compared to the fate that awaited a misbehaving student at home.
Basically, we were in fear for our lives but it wasn't because of drive-by shootings, drugs, gangs etc. Parents and grandparents were a much bigger threat! - and some of us are still afraid of them!!

Didn't that feel good?

Just to go back and say, Yeah, I remember that! Remember when...............
Decisions were made by going " dip dip dip, my blue ship..... out". "Race issue" meant arguing about who ran the fastest. Money issues were handled by whoever was the banker in "Monopoly". The worst thing you could catch from the opposite sex was germs. And the worst thing in your day was having to sit next to one. It was unbelievable that 'British Bulldog 123' wasn't an Olympic event. Having a weapon in school, meant being caught with a catapult. Nobody was prettier than Mum. Scrapes and bruises were kissed and made better. Taking drugs meant orange-flavoured chewable aspirin. Ice cream was considered a basic food group. Getting a foot of snow was a dream come true. Older siblings were the worst tormentors, but also the fiercest protectors.
If you can remember most or all of these, then you have LIVED.

Pass this on to anyone who may need a break from their "grown up" life... I DOUBLE-DARE YOU"

Born in '86!!!!But I experienced this too! although mine has a bit of tech in it already, but anyway I'm glad I had this life too ;)

on the oc

The only reason why I love The OC: Seth Cohen. Love the geeky aura.

on my reason

It's not any of the reasons you have in my mind. It's just that I don't think I could ever live up to any thing that I will promise you.

on what breaks my heart

"For the girls, it was simple. Betty was the domesticated homebody, the girl who would knit sweaters for kittens and write long fantastical passages about Archie in her meticulously updated diary -- some true blogging blood, that one had -- and she was the golden haired 'sugar and spice and all things nice' kind of little thing. Meanwhile Ronnie was the pampered girl used to getting what she wanted, and one with decidedly more sass and spunk than her blonde rival. She had Archie wrapped around her little finger, and that's how she liked it.

And we've all met more Veronicas than Bettys. Fact.

Any how, let us cut to the chase instead of wallowing in trite generalisations, fond smiles regardless. The current scenario is that Archie -- as he trundles towards issue 600 -- will marry one of his sweethearts, and today's big scoop, so to speak, is that the lady in question will be Veronica Lodge. Ta-da.

So out come the Ronnie-haters, clogging up the blogosphere and our Twitterstreams with outrage about how Archie chose the wrong girl, the rich one instead of the one next door, and how Betty really loved him while Ronnie treats him like a plaything and yada yada yada...

Betty, in my unpopular opinion, is boring. She's predictable and sad and kinda pathetic in the way she moons for a guy who hasn't even really led her on, and her innate chickflick-iness helps only in contrast. Without a bratty Ronnie to bark unreasonable orders at Arch, Betty's just far too blah -- sorry, Marylin, but some blondes aren't worth all the fun.

Fact is that Archie has, for once, gotten it absolutely right. He's gone with the girl he wants, not the one everyone thinks he should end up with. He's gone with the girl who drives him crazy, the one who causes far more crimson heart-shapes to pop up in his head and eyes, and the one he truly madly loves -- for better or worse. And isn't taking that plunge the ultimate romantic moral?

Of course, chances are it won't take. Damn."

It's just that I'm a Betty fan. I believe good girls should have happy endings...but then again maybe there's a better happy ending for her... i just wish they'd give what Betty deserves :-s

on a side note

I don't think I'd ever be ready to lose the only permanent Man in my life. So guys, for all the prayers and hope you gave me and my family, Thank you very much.
My dad is doing wonderful now, and really we couldn't be grateful enough for all the people who cared so much. Again, thank you and keep us on your prayers everyday. ;)

all of a sudden

Suddenly... I'm freaking out.

I have to say

Today everything starts. The road to become a real life super hero.... well... let's see what happens in the next four years. :p We shall see whether I deserve to be called Super G... hmm...

Weheh.

on my first

So how does it feel to live the life that I've always wanted? I'm not sure yet, but tomorrow will be the first day of my life. The start of it all. I'm enthralled by the thought, scared mostly. What if I fail? What if I can't survive? I don't really care... All I know is I've never been so sure in my decision until now...

on tomorrow
