FB NOTES ( re: February )

i'm soo happy i got to write FB NOTES again tonight! i totally miss making people bored with my fb notes. hehe :) 

well anyway, tonight i'd blab about February for the reason that there are those people who get so nosyy about your personality when you happened to be born on that month. (if you're Not one of those people so nevermind commenting. K?)

they are like: "Pebrero ka? saputon? weird?  moody??"  WTH. and i don't even know how to respond. i get so annoyed sometimes i just smile. the plastic smile. haha. and at the back of my head i was saying "the H you care?"

really. what's with us baaa :(

i've blogged about this before but tonight i've updated it because i found a more comprehensive and better presentation of the Feb Personality. HAHAAA.

So allow me to Share. (don't mind reading if you're not interested :)

Basic Traits of Character of People Born in February

They are good reasoners, and are very successful in debate and argument, and difficult to convince. They generally have a scientific turn of mind.

They are excellent in business and finance when they apply their minds to such things, but as a general rule they are more successful for others, and make more money for others than for themselves.

If people born in this sign overcame their sensitiveness and developed their will-power, there is no position in life they could not attain. They generally succeed best in some large sphere of action, where they can feel their responsibilities for others. Those who are “awakened” in this sign usually leave a great name behind. They have “visions,” imagination and invention.

They take a great interest in public meetings, gatherings of people, and public ceremonies. They love theatres and concerts, and like to be where crowds of people congregate, and yet they always have the feeling that they are alone in life.

They are very contradictory in the qualities they show under the call of circumstances; although themselves very highly strong and easily overwrought, they have the very greatest power over excitable people and over the insane, and are in the run of their lives often brought much in contact with such classes.

They have a quiet, controlling power with their eyes and so subdue.

Their greatest fault is that it generally takes some sudden call of circumstances to make them “make the most of themselves.”


*** i am not in the position to boast or whatever,, but YOU KNOW, it's not really bad at all! how come every time people would ask "Pebrero ka?" they make it sound disgusting and freaky. it's not fair.  -_-

NOTE that there are personalities in BOLD ? those are Fortunately and Unfortunately the traits that i'm so sure i have. and the rest are still to be discovered, proven and awakened. HAHAAA. never mind.

How about YOU Feb People out there? Are the Above statements TRUE ENOUGH for you ??

tell me your stories :)

sisters in act

even before, i resolved not to blog a lot on my personal life having me to want to reserve my privacy. rather it's more on my suppressed thoughts, emotions and opinions that i would want to express on social media. but right now, i've decided to post something regarding my best friend which i reckon she didn't have a single idea about this because she's not into blogging and all...

well last Sunday we went out and spent some time together. i kind of miss that moment because back when we were in college we were the type who collects our allowance and try to save it. and in a couple of weeks or months after we've saved enough we'd decide to spend it on some "luxury" eating. and with luxury i mean it's serious. we had this habit of pigging out in a fancy-looking restaurant, watch a movie, and window shop most of the time. if there's a sale, then we'd hit it. those days were really fun. but don't get us wrong because it's not like we were failing subjects in school. we're actually doing great there. but maybe not enough to make it to Suma and Magna Cum Laude :)

then the intensive review days came, as both of us struggled to be Registered Nurses. three months straight of being with her and i thought i can't take it anymore. those days were tough and hard. stress, pressure, and anxiety affected the way we  handle ourselves as well as our mind-set. the simple jokes turned to be really harsh. the supposed to be Empathy turned into Sympathy. the natural affectionate act turned to be the irritating one. and so on. 

during those days several realizations took place. that's why recently when we had our lakwacha back we really seized the moment :)

but WHY actually i consider this girl my best friend? let me borrow Lorraine Badger's 500 Reasons Why You're My Best Friend. Note that the numbers are not complete. i've picked only those that apply to our friendship. here it goes:

Reasons why you're my best friend

001 - I can tell you anything and you won't be shocked.
023 - I'd trust you with my life and you'd trust me with yours.
033 - We have private jokes.
038 - I take pleasure in your competence.
051 - I know your moods so well that I know exactly when to press you to tell me what's wrong- and when to leave you in peace.
052 - You're honest but tactful. Usually.
054 - If I'm way out of line, you tell me. And when I'm doing a good job, you tell me that too.
065 - You think I'm smart, capable, clever and pretty. You're my one-woman cheering section.
094 - Sometimes we're under a lot of stress and we snap at each other. Look, these things happen between friends. We get past it.
098 - You give me comforting words at critical moments and I give them to you, too.
122 - We don't look alike and we don't sound alike- but we think alike on all the important things and that's what counts.
124 - You make room for me in your life, even when your life is crowded and busy.
125 - I'm not embarrassed to cry in front of you.
132 - I appreciate how you ferret out my secrets when I really want to tell you but can't quite bring myself to do it.
139 - No one else gives me the total attention you do, when I have a problem or just need to talk.
142 - I never felt that any of our arguments or disagreements would end our friendship.
160 - When I'm procrastinating hopelessly, you give me the push I need to get going.
175 - You know my dark side and I know yours. No judgments.
183 - I don't have to watch what I say when we're talking, the way I do when I'm talking with certain other people. And you know who I mean.
209 - Sometimes you give me tough love when I really need gentle love- but I know that's because you're worried about me.
215 - There are a few dicey things lurking in my past and you're the only one who knows about them- but you don't hold them against me.
230 - You're better than a sister: No sibling rivalry.
249 - You always know the right thing to say.
252 - Sometimes you don't have time for me. That might make me sad or hurt for a while, but hey, you'll be back.
300 - One hug from you is worth 10 from any other friend.
366 - You never get clingy, but you don't mind if I occasionally do.
463 - We take pride in each other's accomplishments.
466 - We've hit a few rough spots, but with love and patience we smoothed them out.
477 - Secrets are secrets and we'd never reveal each other's.
486 - The good, the bad and the ugly- we've been through them all and we're still friends.
500 - You may misbehave, I may misbehave, but best friends accept best friends, misbehavior and all. That's how it is.

but what i appreciate most of all is how you understand me even if i'm not telling everything to you verbally, and the way you managed to keep a positive outlook in life despite the negative circumstances going on around. and i will take your advice that i should take each day one step at a time and that not to worry because God has something and someone better in store; and when i reach 25 and nothing happened that's the time i'll worry. HAHA. REALLY. AS IF i don't have enough problems to deal with!

 

 at Greenwich having lunch before we headed to Screenville Cinema 

to watch The Mistress. by the way, that day's Dorothy's treat :)

Exactly.

i found this on Facebook . a HUGE credit to whoever originally owned this photo for detecting exactly how i feel. we do have some things in common! although right now, after several times of attempting to assess and re-assess my entire Self, i have come to realize that somehow i am not yet ready to involve myself romantically or establish an intimate relationship even though that stupid theory of Erickson suggests my task supposedly at this age is Intimacy Vs. Isolation. why? because there are certain things i could hardly explain for the reason that i have difficulty understanding them. one of the two most vital organs of my body is not yet ready to commit and i don't exactly know which one is it. and for the second reason that these days, i really have a difficulty identifying my potential life-partner to be. i'm having Trust and Sincerity issues with them. unless one of them will prove me Wrong. (i believe experiences don't have to teach me. because for years i've been paying close attention to Experience itself.)

My To-Die-For Stuff, 2012 Edition

1. Fresh Milk

I am not an endorser of Alaska but its their fresh milk that i can readily grab. but nonetheless i love to drink any kind of fresh milk given that it's still FRESH and LOW FAT. many would say they find fresh milk gross because it doesn't have any taste. but believe me that's the main reason why i just love it. i love its taste of tastelessness. but it does have a taste!

2. Yogurt

Fat Free yogurts are perfect snacks. they're deliciously healthy and they consist of live, good micro bacteria that keep our digestive system in good condition. my parents don't agree with this. really. WHAT IS WRONG WITH THEM??

3. Green Tea

Eversince i've read the benefits of green tea in our body, i've been a green tea freak. seriously. see it for yourselves. Read This

4. Powdered Milk

I am not its endorser but i am a Bearbrand baby and i love Brearbrand Powdered Milk. it's more of eating it like polvoron than drinking it. for years this habit has been my Stress-reliever. my parents even tagged me as a "milk monster" because of this. and they hate me for consuming all the supply in an instant. you want to ask WHY this habit? i don't know. maybe my good Parents can answer that. it's Psychological and maybe it rooted on how they brought me up :P

5. Sugo and Tokyo San Peanuts Hot and Spicy

My aunt inday introduced these to me and it's so generous of her to continuously supply me with these if she can. the moment i laid my taste buds on it i knew i'd be feasting on these peanuts forever. for chilli lovers like me, you got to try these. i solemnly swear.

6.TLC and Food Network Featured Foods

This is what i call Food Art. these may appear simple to the eyes but you could've been eating a hundred dollar worth of food. (O.O)

7. Travel and Living Channel and Company

To get to work with these people means the Self Actualization of my Being. End of Statement.

8. Those Leading Men in Nicholas Sparks' Fiction

Why can't men these days be like this one. Those types who consider the Character First than Physical Appearance, and those who at least exert a personal effort and not just through the screen. -_-

9. Good Books and Inspiring Films 

 It's for you to find out WHY :)

10. City Lights

I just can't help admiring city lights. there's something peaceful in them.

11. Flying Lantern 

I can't explain why i love these either. before, i thought Fireworks are the best. but i think i'd prefer Flying Lanterns over it this time. i don't know why. i'm so in love with it right now. 

12. Moments with Family and Friends

 

of course nothing compares when you're having an adventure with the people you love. because every second with them is priceless; you are assured that you will never be left behind :)

the numbers

when i made this blog, not a single hint did i imagine that anybody would care to notice this. not that i don't want this to be noticed nor be popular. it's just that ,you know people these days are so busy with their lives doing errands and all; and if there's a social media they'd entertain it would definitely be Facebook or Twitter or Instagram for photos BUT not blogs. or that's the least of the choices. yet today, when i saw the number of views, i am just so overwhelmed. i have no idea who exactly my readers are (even though it's slightly obvious in the Flag Counter), but really. i just want to Thank each and every one. i don't really care whether you read my posts wholeheartedly or not. the mere fact that you cared to drop by and maybe silently criticized my blog and everything, that is an effort and i really appreciate it.

i hope to interact more with my Readers. TELL ME YOUR STORIES.

i would love to hear from you. i am very much open to know your constructive criticisms because such would be vital for the growth and improvement of this blog. please do email me your suggestions and opinions, or anything that you want me to blog about. if you happened to know me and you want to know more, send me your inquiries and i'll do my best to satisfy your curiosity. i respect anonymous senders.

NOTE: on the side of this blog posts are links to great websites that i've been involved recently. feel free to check them out. Great ideas and technopreneurs are in store :) i would be blogging about them, soon.

so once again to all my Readers, I Thank You! :' ) more to come please!

you have no idea

i don't know if the same rule applies to your family. but in mine, my parents imposed the "no coffee and hard drink unless you finished school or at least minimal drinking only" policy. you may ask Why? it's for the reason that once you drink coffee or any product with caffeine on it and your body develops tolerance hence you get addicted, you would experience tremors and increase in vital signs. and they pointed out that such would greatly affect school performance. therefor the Policy. but in my case, i am not really the 100 % obedient child. so you could just imagine me sneaking out from my parents' sight and took a little sip of this and that. coffee beverages and hard drinks, i mean.

and since recently i finished my college degree and made it to the boards Thank God, i finally got the Pass for unlimited coffee drinking. HAHA. that's all it takes.

 

you have no idea how much this reward means to me. i know it's kind of pathetic. but Really :)

one of these days

it has always been my childhood dream to have my pair of wings like the birds and fly to places. but as i grow up i realized that's the most impossible thing to happen, unfortunately. so instead of having my pair of wings and fly, i'd just use my feet (and a fare as well) and travel from one breathtaking spot to the next. here and abroad. but right now, i guess i still have to exercise my patience and work my A** off because saving for one's own travels and adventures is definitely not that easy, i suppose. (yes, travelers?) so while i plan for my future trips abroad, i would never miss an opportunity to explore my beloved Philippine Island, FIRST-HAND. in that case, you can call me an Explorer because i am just one little individual, whose Quest is to explore the 7,107 islands of the Philippines, and beyond. 

i don't own this photo. credits to the owner.

Such a paradise. beautiful people. beautiful places. great foods! i just hope and pray that Filipinos would do all the best way we can to help preserve and strengthen the Filipino culture, its tradition and values; just few of the many ways to enhance the beauty of the Country. WHY settle for "imported" if WE have "SARILING ATIN" ?

 If business is one of the many ways to raise the Economy, then i better try my hands on it.

Dear self

NOTE TO SELF:

* okey. the "YOU" there is supposed to be Me...okey? and it's also supposed to be YOU if you're reading this post :)

Can't get over it

HAHA. time check is 12.41 AM as i was typing this, and i am just one little crazy individual going over the posts on my previous blogsite reading it from day one. well i pretty much enjoyed it :) i knooow i should be embarrassed and all realizing how i can be vocal at times through writing without me realizing it at that moment BUT it's more of Funny and insane to me right now. don't ask me why. AS IF somebody would care to notice this (i did post a link of this on Facebook.) -_-  but anyway! who cares? i love blogging!

But the highlight on why i stayed up so late? it's because my good dad is not yet home from their team building and i have to make sure he comes home all right. (okey this means "chismis" :p )

A Comeback!

finally!

it's quite a while since i've blogged last. and it took me days to reconstruct this new blog. for those of you who happened to notice my "blogging days", you're aware that this thing is not new to me; started it during my grade-school days as a medium for inner thoughts expression. for the years that followed, i've a total of 5 blogs more or less, the last one and the longest running blog of mine so far: My Cradle was activated last May 2010 and lasted for 1 year and 3 months. Why I lost track of them? email and password issues. although i am to blame, it is still very disappointing and irresponsible of me to forget the account details. and because these days i've had a lot of extra time since i finished my college degree and all, i decided to have a Comeback and play with thoughts and words Again. so i made a new account this time i used my officially fixed account details. 

i don't own this photo. credits to the owner.

 

I made this blog as a sequel to My Cradle with the title We All Have Stories To Tell : anything random, intriguing, and exciting! i hope to have a fresh start with this blog and for this to luckily last a lifetime :)
