My Holiday Breaks... :D

12-04-09


It was almost lunch time when I got a call from my Uncle Santi and telling my grandma that I'll just take my lunch time at their house. I got puzzled and why so an instant he was letting me in. So my grandma told me right away and they let me leave. Just then I got at my uncle's place. After eating my lunch, we waited for my other twin too. It was better that his whole nieces and nephews were present that time. So when my twin arrived, we all got up in my cousin's room, all of us. And then followed by my uncle. He was really expecting us all to be complete so that he could distribute his presents for all of us. (HOW SWEET OF HIM) like he has this huge balikbayan box that contains all our christmas gifts, the shoes stuffs. WOW O.o (big rolling eyes) :D YIPEE! and so there it is..







                                                             I got my new Merrell shoes

12-25-09

That day was a very tired day for me. I slept at 3 am cos I got a long talked at the phone with my new found friend which is a boy and nothing else. We just talked everything under the moon. And I woke up at 8 cos mom woke me up to accompany her in buying Lechon BABOY for my Allere's side christmas party at 6 pm. And went after to Gaisano mall to buy some grocery stuffs for my grandmother as our christmas gift for her. And as well for all my cousins. After which, mom tried to find a new sandal cos she wanted to replace a new one. Unfortunately we couldn't find any better at Gaisano mall until we were running out of time. We still have to attend our traditional lunch time at Aspillera's house. And our other grandparents got disappointed because we were late again. So we arrived at almost 1 and left at 1:30 then headed up for a while to church, buy my medicines and went home to start wrapping the stuffs. I ended at 4 pm and due to my sleepiness and drowning all over I decided to really give myself a nap. So I woke up again at almost 6 pm and prepared myself a little and then off to go to my Allere's side. 

It was a fun night. I won 500 pesos and shared it with my single lady cousins. HAHA! I couldn't believe I made it that far. Many of us were really hoping to win the 500. And it was just only me who won for TEENS category. :D yipee! It was a great team between my twin sister and me. Because, my twin was the one who really helped me out in breaking the egg in order for me to get the 500 while I was blindfolded. It was so fun, everyone were screaming at the top of their lungs when I finally broke the egg. :D HAHAHA! I kinda got deft after I made it. HAHA! and I really jumped up high when I saw the egg broke into pieces. HAHA! and that was the night! :D Thank God that everyone were so happy, especially to my lola Encarnacion. :)

Another day were spent and worth satisfying, even we were still having hang-over last night's party. My mom, bro, twin sis and me were invited again by my Uncle Santi to Camp Phillips, Bukidnon. Mom woke us up at around 6:45 am and told us to be ready cos our uncle will pick us up at around 8:30. After then, we were shocked when we learned that we are going to Bukidnon (which I haven't gone there yet) and its quite exciting cos I could finally see the DEL MONTE PARADISE. And yes we did, uncle picked us at around 9 already and went a little while to agencia where my other uncle owns the that store. And left at around 9:45. We met up with my other cousins and aunts and uncles to pack ourselves and off way to go. We stayed at the other car where all of us big cousins rode. Upon travelling, we were very happy talking about a lot of good stuffs and were sermoned by our other uncle about the reality and life and so on and so forth. We arrived in Bukidnon almost 2 and had ate our lunch at Camp Phillips' Club house (tito jing's recommended place) and I just can't take but say WTH, their food is not worthing for its price. My uncle santi almost paid 13, 000 .00 for it. And we just like ordered three kinds of dishes. WTRH. 

After then, we went to the place where all the tourist go for. The DASILAYAN ADVENTURE PARK. We were actually gonna try the long zip line coast but we arrived there at four pm and the people line were very long. And if we will wait for our turn, it would wait us up til at 7 pm. And we are still going back to ILIGAN CITY. Cos we're not staying there for over night. It was indeed a long but worth it, travel.  So we were having the HORSEBACK RIDING instead. And were actually starting to freeze cos we forgot to bring our coats. It was friggy fogging.  All of us, including older peeps were enjoying the ride. I got the chance to really drive on my own with the horse. And its quite scary cos the road that were passing is kinda zigzagging and rocky. But I really enjoyed. 

We went to CDO after and stroll for an hour and ate our dinner at Jollibee with cousins and mom cos Uncle santi gave us money. And we left CDO at 10:30 and we arrived in Iligan at 12. Thank God for the very safe trip. Kuya Mon Mon was our driver and he really drives so fast and swift. :D Good thing for his consciousness and presence of mind. May God bless us all. 

Much love. ♥

MONDAY

Its 12:31 am already and I don't know what to say now.

I just had fixed myself out to my twin sister on whom I fought with earlier this morning and had a little long time before we could calmed ourselves down. And thank God we're back to normal.


I really don't have any thing much in my mind right now. And  my mind is in random that makes me become boring and dork. Nevertheless, I just want to say something that will let this feeling throw up.


I guess BLOGSPOT is not so much nice to type to cos of its boring and ugly stuffs. But anyway, this is one of my oldest site so I'd rather cherish this much. 


Well. hopefully, maybe tomorrow we could go again to CDO and will buy some good stuffs for this christmas and for loved ones. My tito Santi just came home. Yipeee!!!

me & twinny..

I had a great day today, me and my twin decided to get some fresh air in the uphill. We overlooked the city and of course we were bitten by bad gangstaah mosquitoes. Nevertheless we enjoyed the adventure we had this afternoon. After which we went to our mom's business and saw this cute lil angel waiting for us to cuddle him up. He was such a cutie and adorable baby, his name is TOY-TOY. hahah, meet my Toy. Ü good night! kinda tired now. God bless you all.

much ♥

Why are they quittin'?

Just this morning before I left the school,half of my close friends in school finally decided to withdraw our Math 51 subject. And in that case, they are all gonna quit IT already. Because we have taken this for a second time around.

I don’t get it why they easily quit when I know they could still cope with their grades :| Even to myself, I can really say that I’m just not in 50:50 cycle, but really in a no HEART BEAT situational. But I’m not losing hopes and I am even hoping for a miracle to get alive again.

But why ‘em? when they can all do better than I am, though. :( It’s so disappointing. I can’t understand the feeling right now. I’m having wander already. And I just don’t wanna quit this fight. Cause it will only prove to myself that I am not as what my uncle’s expectations. It crashed down my heart right now.

People are quitting.. They say it with a confidence that they can never push through just because of our new Professor who replaced our first Professor who was on leave right now. though, I am just hoping that God will move her heart next to mine. Cause I just really need a mercy from her. :(

???

???

wondering if what i’m going to get someday on my elective subject. I’m still thinking right now, well probably i know God will really let me finish with this. I am actually planning to build my own site though it would still be under the rights of the website maker. But what I am trying to say is that I want to design my sites just like what I did when I was in my fourth year highschool. I made this project for my twin sister.. come and visit this dull site Well, i really wanted to polish this though, but Im starting to forget every steps of the process :( But anyway, I’ll really make time to do it next time. And hopefully by that time I’ll be full in spirits of doing such. ;p something that makes me want to be a WEB DESIGNER someday?

Swollen Eyes (after watching Kris Aquino's interview in the buzz a while ago)

It is too cheesy perhaps for some of you if I say these things right now. I’m concerning about Pres. Cory Aquino’s passing. Well, for somehow that I am just an ordinary citizen and haven’t been known by her. That won’t let me stop from giving my sympathy to her family and of course to the country that she had loved, and i have love now dearly.

I am greatly satisfied to make Pres. Cory Aquino as one of my inspirations to do things and make things better in hand with God’s guidance. I am inspired about how she lingers and clinging always to God with all the circumstances that she has been going through, she had never stopped believing and keeping her Faith in God very firmly.

I adore her simplicity as a woman, and her dignity as a Filipino citizen. She aspires me to become much more liker her, or rather be someone who I am suppose to be in the near future. I wish I could tell her straightly that I want to be like her. I loved how she become strong despite of the calamities that had come her way. And how she kept herself calm in the midst of difficulties.

But I know that all of those came from the sovereignty of our Almighty Father God. And I am looking forward that someday I could also put across to my fellow countrymen to become more true to one another so that we could all gain the promises that we have from God, a prosperous and wealthy country.

And now I understand why we all should say Thank you to a one great woman who led us to freedom, DEMOCRACY. Because of her, we all have a great nights to sleep as we ended our own nightmares from the daytime. Thank you Tita Cory :) I will certainly bring her identity as I go along my journey here in this world. She is one of my role model.

much ♥

I got this article in Yahoo! site, I got interested with this :D cause, i feel becoming one someday. And i know with this guide, i could create. ♥

"How to Spend Like a Frugal Millionaire"

Today's guest post comes from Jeff Lehman, author of The Frugal Millionaires.

Saving thousands while still spending.

Millionaires make up just 2 percent of the population. They get a bad rap during recessions for being wasteful with their money and are frequently used as examples of excess. It's the millionaires that you don't see that you can learn from in times like these. I call them the frugal millionaires and interviewed 70 of them to uncover ways we can all be smarter with money.

Nearly 70 percent of the economy is based on consumer spending. To keep the economy going we need to keep spending but not waste money in the process. This is where the frugal millionaires come in. They've been smart with their money all along and haven't lost it all and had to remake it. These are the kind of people you want to learn from when it comes to spending your money.

Spending philosophy.

Frugal millionaires are unique thinkers when it comes to spending money: 1) they can easily delay their need for gratification when purchasing; 2) they are resourceful in getting what they want by carefully timing their consumer purchases; 3) they make living below their means painless; 4) they don't like wasting anything (especially money); 5) their sense of "self-entitlement" is highly minimized: and 6) spending is OK with them...depending on what they are buying (think: appreciating vs. depreciating assets).

Buying tips.

These millionaires keep more money than they spend, that's why they are rich. Their tactics work for them so they'll work even better for you. Key Point: They don't view shopping as a sport. They shop efficiently and spend their time doing more important things with their lives. Here are their tips that will help you save while spending:

Cars: Buy used (or off lease) fuel-efficient cars, often with "certified pre-owned" warranties. This warranty can be better than a new car, plus the initial depreciation hit is avoided. Drive the car for a long time and never lease it.

Eating Out: Bring half of a meal home to eat later (this also saves the waistline). Eat at happy hours. Bring wine from home and skip dessert. Value food quality over expensive ambience.

Eating In: Eat better and less expensively by cooking at home. Make it a friends and family event. Get your kids involved. Bonus: You can have that extra drink without worrying about getting busted for driving under the influence. Also: buy day-old bread at the best bakery in town and freeze it. Eat oatmeal, because it's the most cost-effective breakfast food. Get a supermarket "club card" and buy food on special. Play the game of trying to see how much of a discount can be saved off the total food bill.

Clothes: When you buy something new donate something used to charity. Buy traditional clothes, but wait for the off-season to acquire them. Go for high quality - not high price. Buy vintage clothing and avoid logo clothing and keep people guessing who the designer might be. Hint: There shouldn't be one!

[For more, read: "Juggling Your Money in the Recession."]

Consumer Electronics: Buy low-end gear that has the basic functionality of the more expensive stuff. Don't be the first to buy new technology. Wait at least one lifecycle so the bugs are worked out. Buy refurbished electronics whenever possible.

Computers: Buy more mainstream computers with proven technology. Select higher capacity hard drives, a decent amount of RAM (the memory that the program runs in) and a cost effective processor. Super fast doesn't always equal super good...unless you are building airplanes or bridges. Laptops are a good compromise between desktops and netbooks. Don't go through the pain of upgrading operating systems on existing computers, it's not time efficient and you will probably go insane trying.

Going green: Being green and frugal go hand-in-hand. Yet frugal millionaires don't readily fall for the trendy green hype machine. They typically buy green if it helps the environment and lowers their costs. They look at the timeframe when a product can pay for itself. They do use compact fluorescent lighting, turn off lights and equipment that isn't being used, monitor AC and heat usage (with programmable thermostats), drive efficiently, live in "right-sized" homes and turn off the water when they aren't brushing their teeth or washing dishes. Because they have trained themselves to not waste money they won't waste anything else either. They get into good habits and keep them going. You can, too.

Warren Buffet's words

Maybe some of you guys have already read this article. . .
Well this article was emailed by my aunt in manila a year ago, but I've just checked it only last month while I was polishing my inbox because of so many spam messages that were sent to me from some of my other accounts. And i got tired of checking it because of the flood messages that I received. And so then, day by day as it passes, my email box got looaded and have gone almost to 2k messages because i never deleted anything yet. And so I decided to clear my inbox since I got tons of hours to do it. And there i found my aunt's very inspiring message, actually it was an attached documents cause this was made in a powerpoint presentation. Here it goes..


There was a one hour interview on CNBC with Warren Buffet, the second richest man who has donated $31 billion to charity. Following are some very interesting aspects of his life

He bought his first share at age 11 and he now regrets that he started too late!
Things were very cheap that time
Encourage your children to invest

He bought a small farm at age 14 with savings from delivering newspapers.
One could have bought many things with little savings
Encourage your children to start some kind of business

He still lives in the same small 3-bedroom house in mid-town Omaha , that he bought after he got married 50 years ago. He says that he has everything he needs in that house. His house does not have a wall or a fence.
Don't buy more than what you "really need"
and encourage your children to do and think the same

He drives his own car everywhere and does not have a driver or security people around him.
You are what you are

He never travels by private jet, although he owns the world's largest private jet company.
Always think how you can accomplish things economically

His company, Berkshire Hathaway, owns 63 companies. He writes only one letter each year to the CEOs of these companies, giving them goals for the year. He never holds meetings or calls them on a regular basis.
Assign the right people to the right jobs

He has given his CEO's only two rules.
Rule number 1: do not lose any of your share holder's money.
Rule number 2: Do not forget rule number 1.
Set goals and make sure people focus on them

He does not socialize with the high society crowd. His past time after he gets home is to make himself some pop corn and watch Television.
Don't try to show off, just be your self and do what you enjoy doing

Warren Buffet does not carry a cell phone, nor has a computer on his desk.
Bill Gates, the world's richest man met him for the first time only 5 years ago. Bill Gates did not think he had anything in common with Warren Buffet. So he had scheduled his meeting only for half hour. But when Gates met him, the meeting lasted for ten hours and Bill Gates became a devotee of Warren Buffet.
His advice to young people:
"Stay away from credit cards (bank loans) and invest in yourself and Remember:
Money doesn't create man but it is the man who created money.
Live your life as simple as you are.
Don't do what others say, just listen them, but do what you feel good.
Don't go on brand name; just wear those things in which you feel comfortable.
Don't waste your money on unnecessary things; just spend on them who really in need rather.
After all it's your life then why give chance to others to rule our life."

"The HAPPIEST people DONOT necessarily have the BEST of all.
They simply APPRECIATE what they find on their way”

Let us choose the way to live...

Bad feeling...

"Alam ko na talagang hindi ko nagampanan yung dapat gawin ng isang tunay na estudyante. Bagama't kaonti lamang yung nagawa ko, hindi parin sapat na maging isang tunay na estudyante."

My classmate was right when we had our conference chat with my other classmates. She said, "Because you guys were'nt serious". That made me feel astonished, since she has the point even if she withdrawn it and took back what she have said. Because she sensed that I was included to her statements. And the fact that I am a girl, and should a girl must be responsible enough to do the things in order, as what is prioritized.

I know that I am to blame. I wasted my parents' effort to send me to school and to spend money to pay. In the end, I was not doing it right. And I flunked everything.

I am a person who is always believing that I can do everything even though I know how much my capacity and ability. But that doesn't stop me, cause I believe that there's no hard if you try rather, there's nothing we could ever do if we wont just try. And that's what I am standing for. And perhaps, in every business that i've started I want to finish it. Even how much I needed to hurdle.

And now," parang wala na talagang ibang paraan upang maka pag patuloy parin ako sa aking na umpisahan. Ngunit gano'n paman, ipinagkakatiwala ko sa Maykapal ang lahat. Dahil alam ng Panginoon kung gaano ko ka gusto na maka tapos sa kurso na pinili ko. At sana'y magtagumpay ako! Laban na kung laban, Siya na ang bahala sa akin."

I am so nervous

Today is the result of my sister's grade in her Health Assessment. I just hope and believe in God that everything will be fine for my sister, as well as with me. Cause tomorrow is also my final result.

I know that i wasn't really doing my best or gave my best. But what i know is that, every single thing that i am on, im working on it seriously but that depends on my ability and capacity. Nonetheless i knew to myself that there are things that are very difficult and I have no confidence if i could ever make it.

But instead, I didn't end up a word but still I face the challenge. Neither that i know, I can do it "pala".

My aunts and uncles that are side of my mom are the ones whom i made challenge for. I know that i could never be like them such as very smart and intelligent. And are gifted with great knowledge.

I know that in myself God had already planted something inside of me. And yet, i haven't harvested it. But anyway, i know there'll be a right time for it.

Anyway, my nerves are vibrating and i feel how it beat up. I pray that we all could pass this challenge and trials that we are now facing. God is with us!

What a Sad morning :(

I went to my school this morning thinking I was soo late and damn i'll be getting lower grades and might not gonna have hopes anymore. Instead, I went there found out that we have no class! I was so in HIGH SPIRIT ^_^ THANK GOD! :) But that stopped when i finally tried to approach my teacher about my partial grade in her subject. I got astonished and dismay at the same time. I didn't realize how snob she was and was not very approachable about my case. Well, maybe she thought that I am not making good with my studies and that I'm just taking her subject for granted that's why I had that score that she was keeping. Well, its not like that. Actually I really had a hard time analyzing her discussions and of course I can really say that i am a slow learner. And yeah, I got tired of doing to myself alone, practicing. But now that she has told me to send my lab2 which it was already been a deadline and i didn't have a grade cause I made it into execution instead of c. WEll, program thingy! But she is soo D***, her email that she gave me didn't work. It was failed. I can't send it to her. Tsk. :( so, how will it be now? Dang. She just making herself added to my problem. :T_T (huhu! , i need you GOD!) i need you :( summer class is soon to be end. And im in the verge of breaking down. huhuuhuhuhuhuu someone must save me! and i know It is you GOD! :( please.

-just need to sleep 'em all.

And now, I am stuck!

I cant really say what should i suppose to do, now that i am stuck and can't go to its really destination. I am so much restless and very skeptical already for not being sure which path should I need to take first. Though, things are actually in hand but can't be work out. This is so pathetic, im making myself pathetic. Im so over useless and very irresponsible. How could i fix it now? Now that I am burning things and wasting my time into useless stuffs. I'll be dead that's for sure. Well i should just better do something or else, things will really turn out bad. :|
