Sulong ENTREP: Lahing Kayumanggi!

Kabalikat para sa Maunlad na Buhay Inc. or more popularly known as KMBI has been empowering Filipinos especially women since 1986 to break into micro entrepreneurship. Personally, I’m really thankful that there are still individuals like them, who take time to help the poor and marginalized members of the society to reach their dreams and feel fulfillment with the life they are living. KMBI initiates change even in the simplest of things. Not all business ventures have to start big and here is where KMBI comes in, they imbibe capacity, capital, and character into every woman that they help. Guided by these 3 C’s, women are sure to reach their goal.

Since 2007, KMBI has held a yearly summit as its anniversary celebration, and as a thanksgiving assembly to the Almighty God for all the blessings the group has been getting for the past years. This October 23, KMBI is reaching out to all the “entrepinoys” in Negros! They will be having another summit at the Victorias Sports and Amusement Center in Victorias City, Negros Occidental. This year’s summit will be guided by the phrase “My God is a keeper… and so I must be”, which clearly shows that KMBI is lead by Christian Values.

This year’s tagline: Sulong ENTREP: Lahing Kayumanggi! proves that they are really here to help every aspiring Filipino, and lend a hand to real people and obtain real results. With the line Lahing Kayumanggi, entrepreneurs have created an identity of the Filipino, in which every one can relate to, the color of their skin. This is most appropriate because, many of our fellow Filipinos, especially those living in the provinces are used to the usual buy and sell, and retail trade. The Summit aims to give a new light to the word Business, and brings hope that these micro entrepreneurs will not only stick to what they are used to, but finally break into the bigger market.

5,000 attendees, mainly women will join this year’s summit. Seasoned speakers and business experts, such as Pastor Bong Saquing, Pastor Philip Tarroja, Maricel and Anthony Pangilinan will share their humble beginnings, and how they were able to overcome all the obstacles that they encountered, and how they have reached the success of their business careers. The talk will emphasize on the secrets and tips on better business practices that each entrepreneur must do to achieve growth. At the end of each forum, there will be an open-mic session in which participants are given a chance to raise their questions and also ask tips from the professionals who will grace the event.

Outstanding women microentrepreneurs will also be recognized in the said event, through the KMBI Entrepreneur of the Year Awards. The last portion of the summit which attendees must look forward to is the Tulong sa Negosyo Raffle. Ten lucky winners will be able to take home Php100, 000, and 50 lucky winners will get Php10, 000 each. I am sure that the prize money can help our entrepreneurs in the expansion of their business. 

We are all looking forward for this exciting event. And I hope that God graces KMBI even more so that they can reach out to more Filipino women entrepreneurs in need of help. Kudos to you guys!

The Kite Runner

Bought another book from National Bookstore today. I just can't believe this costs 50 pesos only on the Sale rack.

The gist (since i haven't started reading this yet): The story starts with a phone call to a grown-up Amir from his late father’s old friend Rahim Khan. This call gives him a chance to revive his life of betrayal and guilt he has been carrying since childhood. A flashback is then followed with friendship between Amir and Hassan where Amir secretly envies him due to his father’s affection for Hassan while the latter loves him unconditionally and says ‘for you a thousand times over’ whenever his friend asks him something.

The powerful expressions in sentences could take the readers on a flight to Afganistan allowing them to visualise the happenings. The story takes a required U-turn with Amir’s betrayal that forcefully departs Hassan from his dear friend forever. Actually devoted Hassan was brutally beaten and raped by a group of Pashtun bullies when he was on his way with Amir’s last cut kite in the local kite-flying tournament. Where Hassan played unbreakably loyal, Amir didn’t turn up to rescue his friend inspite of being an eye-witness of the piteous incident. Novel’s name suggests Hassan’s skillful quality of knowing where the kite would fall, it was assumed that perhaps he follows the kite’s shadow and reaches the landing place before the kite.

Happy reading

The Thief of Time

Again, I went to National bookstore at Gateway and purchased this book by John Boyne (one of my 'just recent' favorite writer who wrote The Boy in the Striped Pajamas) I haven't finished reading it, but it sounds interesting.

Here's the gist: Mathieu Zeia stopped growing old before the 18th century. He narrates his life, his wives and his one true love. 

By the way, I bought this for 30 pesos only. You guys should drop by National Bookstore Gateway, great finds for book lovers out there.

a lonely soul.

lonely in the city

yes. sometimes, waking up everyday seems like a routine rather than a celebration. On most days, I wake up to go to work, the city sounds seem to drown you and everything else seems to pass by  in a flash. Life in the city can either be exciting or boring. Well, for me excitement hasn't arrived yet. I dream of being an artistic person; people who design, write, draw, or photograph, but apparently I lack the skills and the equipment as well.

I think I'm more of an art appreciator than an art creator.

People in those fields amaze me, they seem so carefree and happy, as for me, trapped in a universe where a routine keeps me alive. Sometimes I just want to break free, but i feel like i'm living in a shell that I can't get out of.

Just recently I went to an event filled with "artistic" people, Writers photographers, film directors and the like. I was really overwhelmed by the aura that these people exude, it was quite beautiful.

 I envy them.

Another thing that made me feel remorse for myself after attending the event, was the fact that I went alone. Everyone seemed to know someone, but me. But it was all okay, the worst part was going home...ALONE..in the rain, while most of the people hung out at the venue with their friends.   

I just wish that one day near today, I meet someone, a guy who might hold my future. Someone who I've been waiting for.

fuck i sound stupid again.

Pecha Kucha Night manila v3

At the Cafe. week 1

Today was hard at home. My one hell of a brother usually snaps at me, and literally hates me for a lot of things. And my aunt who I live with also has a lot of negative vibes with me. Seriously I don't fucking know how to act in this little place I call home in the city. So with the little money that I have on this fine weekend, I decided to go out and have a date with myself.

Did I forget to mention that I'm single? Yes, my life of singlehood sucks.REALLY.I don't know how or where to find this guy, who can light sparks on my romance life. So, I left at almost6 o'clock, had a little stroll in my almost favorite place ( it's my favorite because it's nearer to my house). I also went to the local bookstore, to buy a pen and a highlighter to use at work. And I walked, and walked and walked again. The initial plan, was really to spend a late night at a cafe, just because I wanted to try it. The popular place (Starbucks, that is) was filled as usual. 2 branches that is!. Both were  filled with people with friends and lovers. I guessed this was not a place for someone single like me. Apparently I knew of another place that was just around the corner, and I went to check it out. It was almost empty! Well, not really, there where a few people. An old man, alone, with his laptop; two college girls reviewing for some exam, maybe; a couple, reviewing also, well they were reading books that is; a group of teenage friends, with a laptop, they were too far for me to know what they were up to. So I went to the counter, and stared at the menu board for a good 2 minutes, it was my first time there, so I had no idea what on earth to order. I just had the Choco Macadamia Nut Chiller, because it sounded good. So when I got my drink, I went to this really comfy couch with a table, perfect for me.

And then it happened. Wasn't I looking around to well? Or I just saw past him? Oh well, right across me, was a guy, wearing a maroon hoodie, sinking his nose into his books as well. I felt differently, he had good looks, and believe me when I say good looks, nevertheless, he looked smart, which was obvious thru his pile of books. And the stalker that I was, I literally kept looking at him. So here I was, daydreaming again. If there was one thing I was really good at, it was daydreaming, sometimes i even think my daydreams are real. Well, when it comes to love, for now, all I've got are daydreams. So, yes, i started imagining things, that he'd come up to me to say hi. Know my name, talk about stuff, share a table, talk till dawn. Uh huh, ofcourse I was just imagining things, I was literally just so engrossed in him, he was just my ideal type. So, I started reading the book that I brought, Thief of Time by John Boyne, which was about a man who stopped growing old. Good for the man in the story, he never seemed to run out of love.

Ok so I literally got bored of reading, I started writing. Ok let me explain, I talk to myself through writing, it's just like talking to yourself, it's just that you write it..funny, but at least no one would mistake you for a crazy person.

Ok so, I seriously wanted him to come talk to me, I was praying for it. Yes that was how desperate I was, I didn't' want to look stupid and walk up to some guy reviewing for his exams. SO I spent some good 2 hours in there, just writing the time away. I then realized, was I watching too much love stories? or reading too many romance novels? or maybe I wasn't too physically enticing to make a complete stranger talk to me.

Or maybe, these things only happen in the movies. Although we locked stares 3 times, which gave me the chills, I still had doubts, that maybe he wasn't looking at me, maybe he just me caught me looking at him..get me? Well, after 2 hours of sitting and waiting, nothing exciting happened. Well, I still think about it, last night, what if I had the guts to go up and talk to him? You know that feeling of regret that you feel, up to the moment you wake up the following morning? Yes, I feel it, and it sucks.

Oh well, till next week..at the cafe.

Killing Time part 1

well, a little update on my life...i've been on a 2 month hiatus which has recently ended. I have work! finally I am enjoying it...but there are always times when it seems that boredom just kills your nerves. So I have searched through the vast wide techno universe aka The Internet, and have found some interestingly awesome sites that just kill time when you're at the office, usually after lunch when you feel the drowse kicking in.

here is the first link:
Drum Machine

This website isn't a game if that's what you're thinking, it eats up your time, because of the loading process. But once you get to see the flash animation. You will know what AWESOME means. make sure to turn your speakers up, ENJOY

childish whims.

(photo from flickr)

TIRED. Yes, this 5 letter word best describes me these past few days. I feel that i'm always glued to my bed, not wanting to wake up completely. I think I have also lost my appetite. I loved eating but now it just seems that I feel so lazy to fix something to eat. Probably this is just due to stress, for the past two days, i have been walking around manila, completing my requirements for my soon-to-be job. Due to the extreme harsh weather here in Manila, that the moment you step out of your house, you can literally be burnt to dust. The climate is getting worse everyday dehydrating all my body fluids, which just makes me weak even more.

 

I just realized, that this time in my life is supposedly my "GROWING-UP" stage. Wherein I am supposed to face life in a different view and work a routine everyday. Just like regular grown-ups do. But seriously, I don't like to grow-up...just yet. I still feel the rush of candy in my blood, and the eagerness for adventure as all kids want life to be.

cruisin'

since i'm such a sucker for korean songs and videos and korean people (jeez...) I just want to share this video of Goo Hye Sun. For the sake of those who don't know her, This fine young lady stars in the lead role for "Boys over Flowers" the korean version of the F4 phenomenon (which had a Japanese and Taiwanese counterpart). The video is SO relaxing and reminds of the sea or breezy afternoons in the province. 

I have no idea if she's planning on becoming a singer, but this is really GOOD! Although I haven't got a clue what the song is all about, because I don't speak a word of Korean (LOL), I loved the video and the melody, and to sum it all up...I give Hye Sun 2 thumb UP!




xoxo

the marathon

i just love HBO...yesterday I had a movie marathon, which just shows that cable tv is just awesome...Since i'm bum-ing at the moment, my favorite pastime has been surfing cable tv channels. To all movie fanatics out there I really recommend watching these movies, i swear, they are really worth your time. Well except "the interview with the vampire" though, I thought it was kinda gay and all, but no worries, Brad Pitt does look hot, which spares you from all the wonky scenes in the film..lol...BTW I slept at 3 am because of Mr. Pitt.=))

xoxo

i wanna be a billionaire

Oh every time I close my eyes,

I see my name in shining lights. 

A different city every night, 

oh I swear the world better prepare

for when I’m a billionaire.

take me here

food heaven =)

Rise and Rise again until Lambs become Lions.

So for my second movie last weekend, I decided to see Robin Hood, just because I was too late to catch the next earliest time slot for Iron Man 2...bummer*..but this movie sure didn't fail me. Although it was quite long, and the beginning of the movie had too much talk that i almost dozed off. But when the action began, My eyes were glued to the screen, I just love how action movies become 100x more exciting when you watch them in cinemas, due to the awesome Dolby digital settings that they use at theaters.

Rusell Crowe and Cate Blanchett played their parts to utmost perfection. Although the movie wasn't quite like what I remember watching when I was a kid(where Robin Hood, was a FOX?!) where they emphasized how Robin Hood used to steal for the poor. This was more of a Prequel to that story..

Over-all I LOVED IT. <3

xoxo

from the beautiful mountains of Benguet!

I am definitely a sucker for Philippine romance movies. Well, in times like these where my country is literally a living Oven toaster...It would just be right to go to the theaters and sit for 2+ hours in cold satisfaction...

Well, as for the movie...it was you're typical Pinoy movie, nothing new, for the poster itself is a dead giveaway of the ENDING of the movie...darn, i think the word "TWIST" doesn't quite exist in a majority of Philippine films today...

Oh well, over-all I give it a 4 out of five due to the temperature inside the Theater, and the effort of the main actors to try make me laugh...=)

xoxo

my only wish is to find out what is MEANT to be...

xoxo

who we really are..

Who are we anyway? I think that most of us are just mere copies of the celebrities and famous personalities that we see on television. As I was surfing, I stumbled upon a certain tumblr account, of which I don't know the author of the said tumblr account LOL...

In her tumblr account was a post about a front cover of a magazine and it said "Beth Ditto is the coolest girl". So I was wondering who on Earth is this Beth Ditto. And to my surprise she was quite a "scandal"..here is what I read from wikipedia.com:

"Ditto, who is lesbian, is well known for her outspoken support of both LGBT and feminist causes.^[2] She is a close friend of Scissor Sisters lead singer Ana Matronic, and considers her favorite song to be "Oh Bondage, Up Yours" by X-Ray Spex. She courted mild controversy in 2006 when, during an interview for NME magazine, she claimed to have eaten squirrels as a child, saying that "people in Arkansas just do – they'd think you were a freak if you ate squid there!"^[3]"

At first glance I found her quite bizaare, but as I sat in front of my computer I began to realize that she was merely being herself. As an artist, we just couldn't expect anything less extraordinary out of her. I soon began to listen to her songs, and read articles about her.

In this fast paced world, where everything else is surrounded by high-tech what-nots and science has finally found it's place on top of everything else we just find the more 'simpler' things absurd and bizaare. 

To Beth Ditto, Cheers to you! You are one heck of a lady, and I love your individualism and how care-free you are. In this world, we have every right to be what we want to be, and do anything that will make us happy, and it doesn't matter if the outside world has lots if pressures; and by the way all of us are pretty and beautiful in our own little way, even if we don't live up to the standards of today's "conventional" beauties.

RESTARTING...

So I am officially a lost soul...My last post was about me getting accepted in a Travel agency. So guess what guys? I QUIT MY JOB...These days I just laugh it off, but believe me, I used to cry every time I get home...well I didn't like it. Working there felt like a flat line, no thrills, not even frills ( if you get what I'm saying). I wasn't really employed officially, meaning I really didn't sign any papers or contracts before I quit, so my 5 day employment, wasn't really an employment after all. 

On my second day of work, i seriously wanted to quit. It wasn't very interesting, and the office was no fun at all. Seriously, I wasn't really looking for a theme park for the "fun" part, i just wanted people to start talking, and joking, and having a good time, but it seemed like everyone was a workaholic, and the office was so bland, literally. there weren't any colors, it was just plain white. And the uniforms were white. GO FIGURE

Some people might say that i was stupid because i let go of this "job", because there are so many unemployed people around the world. Well, all i can say to that is, We live in this world to enjoy life, so if ever you are going to engage in something, better make sure that you will ENJOY it. We only have one life and ONE chance to live it to the fullest, and with the threat of the "END OF THE WORLD" this coming 2012 (LOL), better find a job that you won't regret doing. So for me the search is on!...

BTW thanks for everyone who's been adding me on blogged.com..thanks lots! 

xoxo

the WORKING soul.

so tomorrow i will start my "hopefully" awesome job. i got accepted at a travel agency near greenbelt 3. The pay isn't that high, but this is all for experience. So how i got in? i SERIOUSLY can't believe that they got me the day i got interviewed. So, i passed my resume to the e-mail address of the HR head. And then she scheduled me for an interview last Apr. 9, but since it was a holiday, and everyone was at home I decided to reschedule it for Monday of the following week. So my call-time was at 9 am, and since I cam at 8 am...i figured that the office wasn't open yet..."bummer"..hahaha..so I had breakfast at the nearest Mcdonald's, and stayed there for an hour or so, i think.

Since it was just steps away, i walked to the office and came there 10 minutes before 9, and the office was still pretty quiet, and then people were shouting "hwaiting!" haha, that's when I figured that the travel management company was owned by Koreans. So i sat there for about 30minutes. And then a korean guy came up to me, and asked me if I was scheduled for an interview. Little did I know that it was he who was going to interview me. The person who emailed me was name Ms. Rosella, and he didn't quite fit the name..hahaha..

So whoever he was, the interview was ok, and he told me that i would be receiving an email, regarding the result of the interview "as soon as possible", to my shock, i received the email, around 6pm of the same day, saying that they were hiring me!

so goodluck to me...=)

of hunting and jobs.

job hunting has been my new hobby recently.

i just hope I don't become a failure when it comes to finding a job..

I have my prospects and second choices...

I WANT TO WORK ASAP...

xoxo

i want to live in the North Pole.

The heat here in the Philippines is getting worse by the minute. The moment I step out of my house, I start melting like a happy little snowflake. I feel like I'm living in OMAN again. DARN. Living in a third world country like the Philippines, the heat is just making things pretty worse. Good thing there aren't news of people fainting from heat strokes yet.

Well the Philippines, has been hot. It has been that way for ages, after all THIS is a country with a tropical climate. What's weird is that it hasn't been this hot, EVER. And we haven't reached mid-year yet...summer hasn't officially started yet. And what's got me puzzled is that, it has been raining, maybe twice a week. Think about it, today it's scorching hot, then tomorrow it raining...WEIRD WEIRD WEATHER DEAR.

Probably people from richer countries have been wondering what's going wrong...what's wrong? mates, everything is going wrong. In a third world country, if things aren't normal, especially the weather, things will get nasty...LOL... First, there's what we call a "brownout" maybe in Europe, this thing doesn't even exist...but here it is all but common. I remember living in Oman, And brownout's there happen every 5 years...seriously...

And everything else is drying up, the rice paddies, the faucets, and the dams. And dams here, are the main sources of electricity...so no water, no light at night...crappy...indeed.

Maybe the 2012 myth is true,with all the natural calamities happening...maybe the end of the world is drawing nearer, which is why i have to save money to get into that big boat which will save the rich and RICHER people in 2012...GAH..1B euro for a seat...shit it sucks, well I still have 2 years to save up...wish me luck, and i hope i get to meet, the other beautiful creations of God on that boat...but i'm still hoping that everything end's well, I hope that this pretty spinning blue orb lives up to the year 5000 and beyond...Cheers everyone..=P

Etude House

So this new store opened, just a few months ago, and I have been dying to go there. And last tuesday, after the job interview I had at ortigas, I decided to drop by the store. Much to my surprise, it was, as usual SCORCHING  HOT. So the moment I stepped in Megamall, I was sweating profusely..haha..good thing it was quite cold inside.,Quite? yes, quite cold, for Megamall was experiencing partial blackout, probably the generator powered the lobby and hallways, because most of the shops were experiencing "brownouts". LOL..

So, my friends told me that Etude House was near Toy Kingdom. So i went to Toy Kingdom, and voila! a few steps before you reach Toy Kingdom, you see an uber pink store, which was so tiny, the space they occupied was similar to the space occupied by most perfume and make up stalls inside the SM Department store. But then, because it was pink, I liked it. It was like a mini-parlor, and the sales ladies were dressed in cute pink aprons..or whatever you call it. My eyes were gleaming at the site of all the cute little items at the store. And so I told myself I couldn't leave without buying something. One of my friends told me that the items here, were fairly "cheaper" compared to the other korean brands. Well, personally, they were still expensive. But some items were way cheaper, like their nail polish, facial wash etc. By the way I bought these:

(All the pictures i took with my cam were lame so I decided to take pictures from the internet..xD)

*happy teatime aloe tea..( the sales lady told me this was the best-seller) P150 only

*Etude house light eyeliner brush (the "other" eyeliner brush was the one i wanted but it was too expensive (P300+) this one was only P175 yata.. :P

I asked the sales ladies how could I purchase the Lee Min Ho folders, and they told me that they only gave it for free if you purchased goods amounting to P500, darn...well I'm still happy..finally I got to see this. Oh and by the way for the korean fanatics out there, isn't it so cool the Lee Min Ho, Park Shin Hye, and Jang Geun Seuk are models for Etude House...I just love Jang Geun Seuk...*fangirling* nu ni nuuuu =)

*dies..haha

the korean tidal wave

nowadays, it hard to miss out a korean student in school. Heaps of them are coming here in the Philippines to study eeeenglish..=)...and everywhere i look, there's a korean dude, sporting her korean hairstyle and HER korean get-up, the loose and baggy clothing..and i'm loving it!

Island is coming over in a few weeks, and nSuper Junior...I've only watched one of them, because the upcoming shows are WAAAY expensive!!..i can't believe it...i mean people pay to watch someone sing a song which they hardly ever understand..well, anyway.. music IS universal...so what the heck...

My last few ACADEMIC weeks in school have been really exhausting and i still have my cultural presentation...which is killing my nerves..haha..and our thesis...which we will be defending, in a few days...i am currently seeking DIVINE intervention (accdg. to my friend BJ who told me about St. Jude's novena, which is working...yey!) because all this stress is really depressing...

so in order to hype up my mood, I make sure that i take my daily dose of korean music videos to cheer me up...=) and here's my favorite..You and I by Park Bom..=)

sometimes i feel so insecure about other people having this and that. but today when I met Mr. *******, I realized that my life isn't so bad after all, and I have to be thankful for all the little and BIG things coming my way..

I had a "once in a lifetime" experience today interviewing someone who sold his kidney, i don't think many will ever experience doing this, and I think that in this short-lived life of ours, we just have to cherish every second of it, and be thankful for every little blessing that we receive..

love your life, and whatever is in it..=)

SHUT UP WOMAN! shut up! PUHlease..shut up..

you don't have to splatter everything up on my face..i was just being realistic..

i hope all of this fades..better get to sleep, tomorrow will be a LOOONG day 

(thanks you for blogsites that help you let loose of all you inner feelings..LOL)

GOOD NIGHT TO ALL

xoxo

i would instantly fall in love with a guy who sings me this song..

A lovestruck Romeo, sings the streets of serenade
Laying everybody low with a love song that he made
Find a streetlight, steps out of the shade
Says something like, "You and me, babe, how about it?"

Juliet says, "Hey, it's Romeo, you nearly gave me a heart attack"
He's underneath the window, she's singing
Hey, la, my boyfriend's back"
You shouldn't come around here, singing up at people like that
Anyway what you gonna do about it?

Juliet, the dice was loaded from the start
And I bet and you exploded in my heart
And I forget, I forget the movie song
When you gonna realize, it was just that the time was wrong, Juliet?

Come up on different streets, they both were streets of shame
Both dirty, both mean, yes and the dream was just the same
And I dream your dream for you and now your dream is real
How can you look at me, as if I was just another one of your deals?

Well, you can fall for chains of silver, you can fall for chains of gold
You can fall for pretty strangers and the promises they hold
You promised me everything, you promised me thick and thin
Now you just say, "Oh, Romeo, yeah, you know
I used to have a scene with him"

Juliet, when we made love, you used to cry
You said, "I love you like the stars above, "I love you till I die"
There's a place for us, you know the movie song
When you gonna realize, it was just that the time was wrong, Juliet?

I can't do the talk like the talk on the TV
And I can't do a love song like the way it's meant to be
I can't do everything but I'd do anything for you
Can't do anything except be in love with you

And all I do is miss you and the way we used to be
All I do is keep the beat, the bad company
And all I do is kiss you, through the bars of a rhyme
Juliet, I'd do the stars with you any time

Juliet, when we made love, you used to cry
You said, "I love you like the stars above, I'll love you till I die"
There's a place for us, you know the movie song
When you gonna realize, it was just that the time was wrong, Juliet?

A lovestruck Romeo, he sings the streets of serenade
Laying everybody low with a love song that he made
Find a convenient streetlight, steps out of the shade
He says something like, "You and me, babe, how about it?"

one VERY expensive watch.

minutes ago, I was surfing the internet..yet again, my attention was drawn to the word "Patek Phillipe". The only thing that i know about it, is that it's a brand of ridiculously expensive watches. Watches afforded only by the the super rich people..by the way, who spends millions on a watch? lol..anyway...

Before being totally turned-off by the unreasonable price of this watch, i tried to google pictures of it and I was glued to the screen of my computer after seeing this:

this watch is the Patek Philippe "Supercomplication" pocket watch. I've never seen one, but it's on my list of things to buy when I get really rich..too bad the company only produced 4 of these babies. Unfortunately, they were made in 1989, the year I was born, so apparently with only four watches made I don't think there are any left. Too bad.

Well, it costs 6 million dollars, a piece! and it weighed 3lbs (seriously, too heavy for a watch). with 33 functions.

I hope by the time I have become a multi millionaire, sharing the ranks of Oprah in the Forbes' wealthiest women..LOL,  Patek Phillipe, has yet again created a stylish watch like this..by then I'm hoping to buy one..

I highly recommend reading this book..i have only read one chapter and I feel the change already (no kidding!) It's so positive, and i'm hoping to read the whole book already.

I was so hyped to post it here, because I'm not the type that reads a book because everyone else around me reads it.  And this is one of THOSE books, that I'm really hooked. It sort of changes your perspective in life. And come to think of it, i've only read one chapter..=)

It's similar to those "chicken soup for the soul" type of books..

try to borrow one..you'll see

some"thing" just slapped Barbie in the face..8D

while I was blog-hopping, I came across this picture. For those unfortunate souls that have not seen this, it's called a BLYTHE DOLL.

I am SOOOO wanting one of these..=)

Barbie LOOKS like a model, but i don't think she can POSE like one..but these babies CAN!!

try to search them on google, and you'll be amazed with all the quirky li'l outfits they're wearing

i'm lovin the giant head, and the big eyes..

here are more of my fave dolls:

 

 

i just get an eerie feeling when i look at them..i wonder why..

2 more years 'til 2012! happy new year!!!

 yup, 2 more years 'til the end of the world

What's new this year? for me..hmm, i'm still eating my favorite canned tuna for dinner, cold and straight from the can..LOL

seriously, i've had better new year's and christmas celebrations in the past. Probably, in the "in-between" stages of your life, when your not "really" an adult and not a child anymore, these holidays just get lame-er and lame-er. Last year's holdays were ok, i had fun.

I kinda miss, the 'ol days when Santa was so much alive in my heart. I used to write a wishlist for my Christmas presents and woke up on the 25th to find that a majority of my gifts are under the Christmas tree. We had a scrawny christmas tree back then. The ones made of plastic with uber-sharp leaves. We filled it with Christmas lights and balls that we used every single year. But what made Christmas special were the gifts underneath the tree. I only had one brother, meaning there were only two of us. So SANTA, kinda gave us pretty much everything that I asked for. ( well the affordable ones, i remember asking for a gameboy and a puppy one time and they never came..i wonder? LOL)

I couldn't remember that fortunate day when I woke up, not believing in Santa anymore. I figured, we never had a chimney but he always had my presents ready on Christmas day.

Who could forget the days when we used to jump at exactly 12 midnight, so that we would grow taller..yeah, it didn't work for me..hahahaha

So it's 2010! 2 more years 'till the end of the world..according to the Mayan civilization that is..2 more years and if the prophecy is true, were all doomed unless someone makes an improvised-modern-state of the art "noah's ark" to save all of mankind..=)
