I love and hate rainy days.. at the same time
What do you like about rainy days? What do you hate about rainy days? How many people love rainy days? How many people hate rainy days? What are their advantages? What are their disadvantages?
Those are the questions that ran in mind awhile ago while waiting for a Quiapo FX.
Konti lang ang tao kanina sa labas. Wala kasing pasok ang mga estudyante. (
I hate rainy days because.. (iisip ako ng mga rason ko)
- I hate the feeling when my feet are wet. Ayoko kasi ng nababasa ang paa ko. Treasured ko ata ito.
- I hate putik. Sympre pag umuulan at basa ang kalsada at nakatsinelas lang ako eh pag lumakad ako eh mapuputikan ang maganda kong legs (kung naka shirts ako) at ang pantaloon ko (kung naka pants ako).
- I hate watching the news about families and people in wreckage. Naawa ako sa mga tao at pamilya na napapanood ko na nililipad yung bubong, pader at buong bahay nila L na sa-sad talaga ko.
- I hate rainy days specially looking outside the dark clouds hovering around the once bue-eyed sky. I hate gloomy moments. I hate being stuck, alone.
- I hate it when im stranded. Kaya ayokong gumising ng maaga eh kasi nakakatamad. Lalo na after preparing eh mahihirapan kang sumakay papasok at trapik. Worst eh pagsakay mo stranded ka naman sa bus/fx/jeep/mrt/lrt/taxi/kotse na sinasakyan mo.
- I hate flood. Who wants them anyway?
I love rainy days because.. (iisip ako ng mga rason ko)
- I love rain! I love water! *splish splash*
- I love to sleep when its raining. It so good a feeling. Haha! And besides, Its my favorite past time.. sleeping J
- I love to cuddle and being cuddles! (ahihi) Oh I remember the days L
- I love it when they suspend classes! Yehey! And if you’re blessed that day, yung tipong may exam ka na hindi ka mo nareview or may project/term paper ka na ipapasa that day, and the night before you prayed to God to give you extra time to delay the deadline, then kinabukasan you’ll find out na walang pasok. Haay, diba ansarap ng feeling. Haha!
- I love rainy days coz it’s the only time that I get to be lazy at home. I hate being stuck at home, alone. But I love it when the whole family’s here J
- I love sipping a hot cup of coffee or eating a bowl of chicken arrozcaldo. It beats the cold atmosphere. I remember when dad used to pick me up at SM Manila after school, whenever I feel so cold he would always buy me a cup of coffee @ Dunkin Donuts. I love their brewed coffee J Masarap na, libre pa J haha!
Marami pa akong nakalimutan eh, why I love and hate rainy days at the same time. Maybe il think about it first then il add some more probably pag feeling ko eh nakumpleto ko. Right now kasi iv been distracted eh.. haha! Im thinking of something to post tomorrow.. something about rainy days also… hmm..

Maikling Kwento

Haay sa wakas naittype ko din ang mga gusto kong i-blog. Nainspire lang ako ngayon (nino kaya?) na magsulat. Sa totoo lang eh wala akong type na talagang tutukan ang pag bblog minuminuto. Kasi gusto ko prepared at alam ko na ang mga ittype ko. Pero ngayon kahit random lang eh papatulan ko na, haha! Baket nga ba ngayon ko lang ito naisipan upuan. Hindi ko din alam. Actually may meeting ako ng 10am at ngayon eh 925am na (magaling Cathie!) At hindi ko pa nababasa ang 50 new mails ko na dapat eh sasagutin ko din ASAP (napakagaling Cathie!) Oh well, papel.. makakaintay naman sila. Eh pag ngayon eh tinigil ko pa ito eh baka hindi na muling bumalik ang insipirasyon ko. (kakaintriga noh?)
Kahapon eh as usual “just another manic Monday” yan ang laging status or IM handle ko pag Monday. And it is indeed a manic Monday. Hindi ko nadala ang salamin ko at hindi ako pwedeng mag contacts kasi irritated ang eyes ko ngayon sa contacts. Napapagkamalan lang akong may sore eyes, kahit gano kaganda mata ko. (teka may dumidistract sa akin) (ayan ok na) Naka black na blouse pala ako kahapon, yun yung bagong blouse na binili ko.
For the past few weeks pala (siguro starting last end of June) eh nagkasakit ako (actually, til now eh may sakit pa din ako) I was diagnosed with Acute Laryngitis. Sounds scary and sounds cute at the same time. Haha! Para siyang excessive use of voice, kasi ang recommendation sa akin eh voice rest lang at lots and lots and lots of water L Pag hindi ko daw ito sineryoso baka operahan something yung lalamunan ko L Now that sounds scary. Uminom na ako ng antibiotics etc. Pero matigas ulo ko kasi hindi parin ako umiinom ng vitamins. Ewan ko ba alam ko mali pero tinatamad ako eh. Sige next time. Iinom na talaga ako. Pramis.
Ang sabi actually ng doctor eh ang pahinga ko dapat eh atleast a week and maximum eh 3 mos. Talagang dapat na ipahinga ko na nga ang boses ko. Nagleave ako ng 4days (Kamusta naman ang sasahurin ko sa next pay day) at nagging productive naman ang pagpapahinga ko. Natapos ko ang Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Salamat sa advance bday gift!) at natapos ko din ang Stainless Longganisa ni Bob Ong (Salamat chet sa pagpapahiram) Sa mga nakabasa, may hint na ba kayo sa inspirasyon ko? Haha! Ang ganda ng HP 7.. hindi ako addict, isa lamang taga subaybay J Nabasa ko siya ng dalawang araw lang, hindi straight, putol putol. Balita ko kasi yung iba eh pagkapila sa National Bookstore eh pag uwi after 24 hrs eh tapos na. Sobra naman yun, di ako ganun J Sinundan ko lang istorya kasi simula pa nung 4th yr highschool ako eh natapos ko na ang HP1-4. See, sabi sa inyo di ako addict eh. Hehe!
July ang birthday month ng aking minamahal na ina at ama. Alam ko may previous post ako tungkol sa “hindi namen pagkakaunawaan” ni mama. Well, by God’s grace eh naayos narin namen yun. Ako pa matitiis ni mama? Hindi yata. Haha, anyabang J Love ako nila at love ko din sila. Last birthday ni Mama cinelebrate namen ito sa Super Bowl of China (family’s favorite) tapos yung kay Daddy eh sa Burgoo ( Family’s second favorite) May usapan na nga kami ni daddy eh. Tuwing sweldo eh mag aambag ako ng 500p para pang kain namen sa labas, every month yun. Ok lang sa akin, basta may extra akong pera. I thank God for my family J I am so happy with them and feel so secured whenever they are around.
Umuwi din pala si Tito Jun at Tita Bing dahil cinelebrate namen ang Surprise Bday kay Lola J Sa Shangrila Restaurant (One of the Top 5 fave ng family) Invited ang lahat ng anak ni lola, which is sila tito and tita and mga apo and mga close friends. Kaming Copaway Family ang host ng program, kasi kami ang araw araw na kasama ni Lola sa bahay. Sarap ng pagkain, may take out pa. Sympre hindi mawawala ang Starbucks bonding namen nila tita bing J Haay namimiss ko tuloy ulet sila J
Sa Father side naman eh nagbirthday celebration din si lolo. Last Sunday ng July. Nag gather nanaman ang the next cast ng “Mano Po.” Haha! Why? Well, the picture will speak for itself J haha! May bago ng talk of the town nung araw nay un, si baby Micah J Siya ang unang apo sa tuhod nila lolo at lola. Pamangkin ko sa pinsan J Buti nalang at siya ang pinagkakaguluhna at hindi ako.. ako na baket single pa hanggang ngayon. Tsk tsk. Lagi nalang. Kakasawa na minsan.
Nga pala, may friendster access na dito sa office! YEHEY! Loser noh, ngayon lang nagkaron. Haha! Pero ok lang, atleast meron. Pero bawala gamitin pag office hours, dapat eh before or after shift. Kaya nga imbes na nagbabasa ako ng emails eh nag ffriendster nalang ako pag dumadating akong maaga sa ofc eh J hehe! Grabeh na ang mga new innovations ng friendster. Na-jurassic ako sobra. Haha! Masyado ng bago sa paningin ko ang lahat ng bagay, parang naging komplikado pa ang iba. For a time kasi nawalan ako ng gana sa friendster. Ewan ko kung baket. Pero ngayon active na ulet at pinipilit ipunin ang 500+ friends na naiwan sa dati kong account. Crap! Hirap isa-isahin ha! Kayo nalang mag add sa akin J haha!
Hmm, ano pa ba ang ikkwento ko? So far eh yan palang naman ang mga gusto kong ikwento at sabihin. Marami rami din kasi akong pinramisan na mag uupdate na ako ng blog ko (parang totoo) Sa susunod na yung iba, sayang sobrang ikli ng “maikling kwento” ko L Dibale, next time, hahabaan ko :D mag dadagdag pa ako ng pictures J hehe!

Harry Potter Review
Now for this review, I am going to assume that you have read the book. If you have not yet read the book, then stop reading this review right now! I will be spoiling the film and book for you.
I have no idea why they insist on making Harry Potter into a 2 hour film, the story is at the point where 3 to 3.5 hours is needed to tell his complete chapter. This is a good film but it could have been so much better and that's what is so frustrating about this film, What could have been.
Now let's talk about what went wrong with this film.
. The aftermath of the Dementors attack. All we are shown in the film is the one letter sent by the ministry. We are not shown anything else. What was really missing was the fact that his Aunt Petunia knew what a dementor actually was. I just have a weird feeling that in the next book, this fact is going to be played out.
2. Harry's lack of anger at the beginning. The film never really lets him show just how alone he feels until the middle and the beginning of the film really suffers from it.
3. The reduction of Mr. and Mrs. Weasley and Dumbledore in this film. If you have read the book, this will make sense. I do not understand why they are slowly being written out of the film when they all pay huge roles in the next chapter.
4. Cho Chang. Now I have no idea why this was done in the film but, in the book Marietta Edgecombe is the one who betrays Dumbledore's Army, but the betrayal is instead committed by Cho in the film, effectively ending her relationship with Harry, but is later revealed to have been under the influence of Veritaserum while interrogated by Umbridge, dropping the whole hexed parchment storyline altogether. This made no sense at all and I thought really hurt the film.
5. Sirius Black. Now I have no idea why his role was reduced, but the two parts that did not be removed were his argument with Snape and his talk with Harry about what Harry saw during his Occlumency. Both of these events lead to Harry's total hatred of Snape. This becomes very important in the next chapter.
6. The total removal of the return of Rita Skeeter. This is where Harry tells all about what has happened to him and what really went down last year. It also omits "The Quibbler" With this removal, Harry's main school enemy ,Draco Malfoy, is reduced to a petty bully and this will really hurt the next chapter.
7. The reduction of Twin Weasley's escape scene, what could have been a lynch pin to a great scene and a much better movie, we are given a 1 minute show.
Now Lets talk about what went right with this movie
1. Luna Lovegood. I knew this was going to be a hard role to cast but Evanna Lynch pulls it off very nicely. She soon becomes the one person that can talk to Harry and at the same time becomes a voice of reason. This was a great choice.
2. Neville Longbottom. It was nice to see that they are allowing him to grow and to show that he is slowly overcoming his self doubt.
3. Umbridge. You will really believe that she is trying her best to blindly follow orders. I loved all of the cat plates that were in her office.

** Just watched HARRY POTTER and THE ORDER OF THE PHOENIX last night. And after early this morning I can’t wait to catch a good review online. I copied this review from an i-dunno-how-i-got-there-site and after I read the review these were the only words that I uttered.. “Exactly my sentiments!”

Unwanted
I’m sick.
Early this morning, I checked my temperature and im already 38 degree C. Still, I took a bath, sipped Sopas for breakfast, then head to the office.
When got here, it’s still the same feeling.. feeling of anxiety, uneasiness, restlessness, discomfort and weakness. I didn’t pay attention to what I was feeling not until now.
I can’t hardly breathe and speak. I am always gasping for air. I am running out of air. I am feeling so weak.
At the same time that I am experiencing all this, the person that I care about makes me feel so unwanted. Not looking my way when I am near, casting me off like a fly wandering around.
It hurts.
My inside and out.
Only adds to my discomfort.

I blogged first before I actually arranged my things.

Im sorry
I am supposed to be blogging about what has happened to me the past few days, or should I say the past few months.. but right now that’s not what I want to blog about.
I am very bothered by what happened last Tuesday. It all happened at the wrong time. Siguro hindi ko na ikkwento ang buong detalye, but it concerns someone that is very dear to me.
I have hurt someone very dear and very close to me. Aminado ako, it was really my fault. Sometimes, may mga bagay ako na ginagawa na akala ko eh malulusutan ko or magagawan ko ng paraan para di maging worst or masama. It happened last Tuesday, I went home at around midnight and I didn’t even informed my parents my whereabouts. They were furious ofcourse. They were mad. And until now they are not talking to me.
I know, and very aware that its my fault. I should have told them that I would be home late. I should have told them where I was. I should have told them who im with. They were just worried for their little girl. They were just dead worried.
“I am very sorry for what happened. I really didn’t mean to disappoint you. I really didn’t mean for you to get worried. I hope you know how much I appreciate you and what you are doing to me. I am not taking you and your concern for me, for granted. I love you so much and it kills me now that you’re not talking to me and you’re not even looking at me. I hate it when you really made me invisible and just pretend that I am not around. I hope you know how sincere I am in saying that I am really sorry and I want us to be ok again. I love you so much Mom, Happy Birthday!”

New Worlds: Transformed
Press Release:
New Worlds: Transformed
Fans gather to celebrate at Powerplant in July
From July 9 to 15, there will be another celebration of fandom in New Worlds: Transformed, to be held at the Power Plant Mall at Rockwell.
The New Worlds Alliance (NWA), an organization of fan groups focused primarily on fantasy, science fiction, horror and superheroes, will be holding exhibits and activities that showcase the various ways they show their love for their favorite shows, books and authors. Highlighting the event is the opening of the film adaptation of JK Rowling's Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, a week before the release of the last book of the series, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.
This is the power of fandom. Who else can dictate to large production outfits what movie to make next? Many of the recent box-office hits were either fantasy, such as Pirates of the Carribean and Shrek, or about superheroes like Spiderman and the Fantastic Four; all of these are highly successful franchises that have generated fans from all over. Many upcoming movies are from either the same or affiliated genres: Transformers, Harry Potter and Stardust. Look further down the road and you'll see offerings such as Batman, Star Trek and Wolverine. Hollywood, it seems, is tapping into what some call the Fandom Phenomenon: groups of people from widely different backgrounds coming together to celebrate the stories and characters they love.
The local fans are no less passionate. The past five years have seen numerous events and conventions that serve as venues for fans to meet, greet, connect and celebrate.
But what makes these events truly interesting are the fans themselves. These are people inspired by imagination and touched by creativity, who choose to let their respective fandoms shape their lives. Don't let the costumes, quoted lines, quaint mannerisms and affectations, and the obsession with merchandise fool you. Take a chance and engage one (or two or three) in conversation; you'll be surprised to see how lucid and grounded they actually are--and you'll find they're witty too! Take the time to stroll around the exhibits, greet the characters in costume and find out exactly how their fandoms have set their imaginations on fire and touched their hearts. Explore the activities offered in this event: play a game or two, have yourself sorted into a House, learn the Vulcan Salute. You may be surprised to find that you're actually a fan at heart.
With such a following, it is no surprise that outfits like Rockwell Power Plant Mall, Level Up! Games, Dream FM, and Fandom Cafe have supported this event. It is open to the public. And the entrance, like imagination, is free. For more information, please log on to http://newworlds. ph/.

Girls are like apples on trees
Girls are like
apples on trees. The best
ones are at the top of the tree.
The boys don't want to reach for
the good ones because they are afraid
of falling and getting hurt. Instead, they
just get the rotten apples from the ground
that aren't as good, but easy. So the apples
at the top think something is wrong with
them, when in reality, they're amazing.
They just have to wait for the right
boy to come along, the one
who's brave enough
to climb
all the way
to the top
of the tree.

Ten Reasons
TEN REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD CONSUME LESS SOFT DRINKS
1. Soft drinks steal water from the body. They work very much like a diuretic which takes away more water than it provides to the body. Just to process the high levels of sugar in soft drinks steals a considerable amount of water from the body. To replace the water stolen by soft drinks, you need to drink 8-12 glasses of water for every one glass of soft drinks that you consume!
2. Soft Drinks never quench your thirst, certainly not your body's need for water. Constantly denying your body an adequate amount can lead to Chronic Cellular Dehydration, a condition that weakens your body at the cellular level. This, in turn, can lead to a weakened immune system and a plethora of diseases.
3. The elevated levels of phosphates in soft drinks leach vital minerals from your body. Soft Drinks are made with purified water that also leach vital minerals from your body. A severe lack of minerals can lead to Heart Disease (lack of magnesium), Osteoporosis (lack of calcium) and many other diseases. Most vitamins can not perform their function in the body without the presence of minerals.
4. Soft Drinks can remove rust from a car bumper or other metal surfaces. Imagine what it's doing to your digestive tract as well as the rest of your body.
5. The high amounts of sugar in Soft Drinks causes your pancreas to produce an abundance of insulin, which leads to a "sugar crash". Chronic elevation and depletion of sugar and insulin can lead to diabetes and other imbalance related diseases. This is particularly disruptive to growing children which can lead to life-long health problems.
6. Soft Drinks severely interfere with digestion. Caffeine and high amounts of sugar virtually shut down the digestive process. That means your body is essentially taking in NO nutrients from the food you may have just eaten, even that eaten hours earlier. Consumed with french-fries which can take WEEKS to digest, there is arguably nothing worse a person can put in their body.
7. Diet soft drinks contain Aspartame, which has been linked to depression, insomnia, neurological disease and a plethora of other illness. The FDA has received more than 10,000 consumer complaints about Aspartame, that's 80% of all complaints about food additives.
8. Soft Drinks are EXTREMELY acidic, so much so that they can eat through the liner of an aluminum can and leach aluminum from the can if it sits on the shelf too long. Alzheimer patients who have been autopsied ALL have high levels of aluminum in their brains. Heavy metals in the body can lead to many neurological and other diseases.
9. Soft Drinks are EXTREMELY acidic: The human body naturally exists at a pH of about 7.0. Soft Drinks have a pH of about 2.5, which means you are putting something into your body that is hundred of thousands of times more acidic that your body is! Diseases flourish in an acidic environment. Soft Drinks and other acidic food deposit acid waste in the body which accumulates over time in the joints and around the organs. For example, the Body pH of cancer or arthritis patients are always low. The sicker the person, the lower the Body pH.
10. Soft Drinks are the WORSE THING you can possibly put in your body. Don't even think of taking a sip of a Soft Drink when you are sick with a cold, flu or something worse. It will only make it that much harder for your body to fight the illness.
**im not a fan of softdrinks, but I thought id just let you know of this. Ü
