New Year's Resolution About

I have the habit of making a New Year's resolution's list every 30th of January though I really don't keep them. I just find it nice to see the things that you wish to resolve in your life... something that will somehow make you a better person.

As each New Year enters, I welcome it with gratitude and hopeful prayers for the year that has passed and for the year to come. I wish this coming year will be better than the others though. Not only for myself but for all of us who struggles the battle of life.

Below are lists of what I gathered about
Top 10 Most Common New Year Resolutions

1. Lose weight

2. Stop smoking

3. Stick to a budget

4. Save or earn more money

5. Find a better job

6. Become more organized

7. Exercise more

8. Be more patient at work/with others

9. Eat better

10. Become a better person


And these are my New Year’s resolution # 15

• I resolve not to watch 4 DVD’s unceasingly/uninterruptedly, just like what I did today
• I will put into my vocabulary the word “patience”
• I will not reply with “LOL… LOL!” acronym on my friends’ jokes or text messages
• Practice not to yell at least twice a week
• Get a job
• Stop being a scaredy-cat
• Read more
• Stop gossiping
• I resolve to eat like a lady also and not like a pig dracula
• I will not procrastinate.. I’ll finish this tomorrow 

to all those who just love attending New Year's Eve Party here are the
Top Ten Signs You're At A Bad Party


10. At 11:58 the host announces, "I gotta get up early. Everybody out."

Although I know that making a New Year's resolution is somehow a vicious cycle, it's still part of our culture whether you like it or not. And to me, I say, there's no harm in trying to be a better person and learn from the past.

So from here, sleepy yet still pretty.. keep cool everyone and HAVE A PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR! Watch your diet too! PaRTy oN!

A New Year's Quote

Resolve to make at least one person happy every day, and then in ten years you may have made three thousand, six hundred and fifty persons happy, or brightened a small town by your contribution to the fund of general enjoyment. - Sydney Smith

Ten Reasons To Drink Over The Holidays

Why indulge in adult beverages during the holiday season? Here are a few reasons we can think of:

It helps me erase the mental image of fat Santa stuck halfway down my chimney.
There's nothing better than Pinot Noir when turkey's on the table.
It's one present that I don't have to share with the kids.
A stiff drink can warm you up; a tall cold one can chill you down. It's better than a thermos bottle!
Two words: Christmas cheer.

I got some of these humorous slideshow from Forbes' top three picks of their

"Ten Benefits of Holiday Drinking" ...




You bring spirit to the occasion literally: vodka, tequila, and rum.









Drinking in winter means staying warm or at least feeling
like you're warm.






The holidays go by much quicker, just a vague memory.





Happy Holidays and toast for a good year to come and world peace!

My Kitty Just Turned Eight

No, it's not a cat but my darling daughter, Kitty who just turned 8 yesterday...





No, it's not a cat but my darling daughter, Kitty who just turned 8. :) My pride and joy just had her birthday yesterday and I must say, even if she didn’t throw a party, we celebrated it just the way she wants.

The night before her birthday, Kitty told me she wanted to get the doll we used to visit while we were strolling at the town after our dance class, a pair of love birds, a skateboard and a Gameboy DS. As I leave their room she then said “Don’t forget to remind Uncle Eddie my hamster too, okay?” Geez, even if I could, I wouldn’t buy her/them all those stuff even if it’s her birthday because I don’t want to spoil them with material things unlike what other parents do to their children. I want them to be contented and be happy on what I can give them and what they have.

The morning of her birthday, I have her dream doll on the table waiting for her to wake up. And she was surprised and was happy seeing that. She then named it “Violet”. :) Knowing Kitty, she used her charms in convincing her Grandmother to give her a skateboard, which my mom, of course, can’t resist. Her brother got a new skateboard too as a Christmas present. I also found out just now that she even enticed her brother into giving her a present, which is really unlikely for her brother to be sweet to her like that.

After a long day, while walking at the park, I asked her if she had a happy birthday and answered me with “Yes, mommy. That’s what birthdays are for, to be happy isn’t? And that’s why they call it happy birthday, right?” I smiled to her and agreed with a nod.

Today, just before writing this one, I asked them to take a nap and they said no, let’s play first. And so we played--- pillow fight, mommy’s drunk act, making faces, tickling, and giggling all the way through their silliest questions. Here are some though:

• “Mommy, if there are lovebirds then there could be hatebirds too, right? What do they look like?”
• I want a Gameboy, but I am a girl, is there a gamegirl too?
• “Mommy, where do the turtles eat, inside their house or outside?” I answered with “hmm easy! If they’re eating inside their house it’s called dine-in and if they’re eating outside their house, it’s called take-out”

These are some of the questions they ask, I forgot the other ones but sure will post them when I recall some. I'm gonna leave you some ways on how to bond with your children through practicing humor. Researchers say practice sharpens a person's wit, so here are eight ways to practice being funny with your kids.

1. Keep a journal of ridiculous things that happen to your family.
2. Buy goofy joke books. Laugh while your kids read the jokes to you.
3. Encourage your kids to cut out and share their favorite newspaper comics.
4. White-out the captions of cartoons and have your kids write their own.
5. When you're under stress, look for the lighter side. Play a game of "it could be worse" and exaggerate all the possible outcomes.
6. Develop a playful reaction to a problem. You'll be spending more time laughing and less time in conflict.
7. Point out verbal humor like puns and oxymorons.
8. Keep a "lighten up" prop, like fake glasses and a nose, to do when things get tensed.

Photographer Wannabe

The Scenery Above My Roof...

So I wanted to be a photographer... It's one of my frustrations actually. I even thought of giving myself three years time frame to be able to accomplish that. But at the moment, I'll be needing to save more money and buy a digital camera cause I'm only using a Nokia 6230i 1.3 megapixel phone. But it's not that bad though, right?

I took this photo one afternoon at the top of my roof about a couple of weeks ago.

According to my friends, so far, so good. My boyfriend even told me he liked it. And it feels good that somehow, my work is appreciated.

I'll be posting more stuff on the days to come and ,hopefully, I can get feedbacks on how did you find it or could even give me tips for further improvements. Hope you too like it!

Live well, Laugh often, Love much!

addicted to love?

Yesterday, my soul sister came over to my place unexpectedly. Knowing her, she wouldn’t go anywhere far from her boyfriend unless she’s experiencing one of her paranoia attacks.

The good thing about us is that no matter how long we don’t communicate, the feeling of excitement once we meet has always been there. Having conversation with her was like going back to the times when we were still in our College days, we reminisced all the fun and drama we have had back then. Embarrassing but I confess I am and once a drama queen especially when drunk way back in college. Sharlyn, though, was worst than me. Lol.

While talking and having a good time together, I served something to eat and a few slices of papaya. Then she turned quiet which is very unlikely of her. I didn’t want to break her silence although I knew there’s something wrong and that she’s going to pour it all out in a few seconds from then. I was right.

She broke the ice by saying “Evan (my boyfriend) didn’t know that I was here”. Since then, my ears were occupied about the details on how she suffers from stress and depression for months now. In order not to offend Sharlyn, I asked her if she has some kind of love addiction problems, like obsession. And without thinking twice, she nodded. Hmm… sounds like me before, but I learned to control and get over with it.

Her case is different though, most of the time, it comes to the point where she uncontrollably beats her boyfriend only from the simplest reasons like not telling her what’s his ex’s name or jealous about his favorite cover girl in the magazine, something like that. She knew herself that she needs to ask for professional help and willing to undergo treatment but that won’t be possible at the moment because she’s got no job as of yet.

Personally, I am friends with her boyfriend and I would say he is a nice guy and loves Sharlyn so much. Doesn’t drink or smoke, no vices really. Of course, guys have their own insecurities that most of the time they show off stuff or ex girlfriends just to hide their flaws. But nothing wrong with it coz it doesn’t affect anyone.

She knew too well she needed help but she can’t stop herself from unending negative thoughts about Evan, his whereabouts, his ex’s, girls he’ll meet in the job, etc.

From what I have read, obsessions are the unwanted thoughts, and compulsions are the unwanted behaviors. Most OCD sufferers are aware that such thoughts and behavior are not rational, but feel bound to comply with them to fend off fears of panic or dread. Because sufferers are consciously aware of this irrationality but feel helpless to push it away, OCD is often regarded as one of the most vexing and frustrating of the major anxiety disorders.

I just don’t know what could help her at the moment but I hope she be well soon. Regarding with her relationship with us, her friends, is nothing but normal except that of with her boyfriend.

As of this moment, she just texted me telling that she is with her boyfriend today. While yesterday, he was swearing him from head to foot and even promised not to see him again for a week. Women! Lol.

That's a wrap..

the dancing princess

Looking over the week that has passed, I would say it was some kind of a special. Been visited by friends and reconnect with them, my kids' Christmas party is over and they pretty much enjoyed it, been going out to the park and flea market after the gym, and attending dance class which is pretty much exciting. Still have two left feet? Na-ah! Ever seen Sandra Bullock in her movie, "Miss Congeniality"? I was exactly more of like her at first when she joined the pageant. Where there’s a part that you need to dance and mess it all up. It’s still happening to me though but I don’t get embarrassed I just laugh at it while looking stupid. When you get to know me, I am like Grace (Sandra Bullock) in person. Still have two left feet? Na-ah! I may not be the best dancer of the class but, I must say, I can dance gracefully (except that of the body language part, eow!) and get into the groove.

Dance class. Nice instructor, friendly faces (at least some were), good service (except that of the treadmill isn't still working, dancing actually instills energy and passion in me. I usually bring Kitty with me at the dance school where she meet my best buddy’s daughter, Rickiemae. Apparently, she was too shy to mingle with others but she learned to overcome it. Now, she’s got more friends at the dance school (gym) than me!

What’s so special about this week is that I have learned that my daughter is a graceful dancer. And that she is cultivating her artistic abilities with me. Not the youngest ‘member’ of the dance class anymore though cause last night a member’s daughter brought her 6 years old kid there and the class. It’s really nice to see two little girls getting on their toes doing stretching and dance steps with their mommies. Well, actually there were three little girls on the class, Rickiemae is among them too. Most of the members are fond of them indeed.

I would like to think that I am a dancing queen in my own right but what’s so cool is that I have a dancing princess beside me, gracefully swinging and learning her way to improve her artistic skills. This dancing princess will be turning eight on Monday. No plans as of yet but she likes to get a doll from me as a present and eat at the newest Japanese restaurant in the town and heaps of gifts. Lol.

Color Blind? Take the Test...

Today, I have the feeling that I'm gonna be bored again so I decided to log on 7:30 in the morning, just after the kids left for school. Too lazy to clean, I decided to post some free articles on which my boyfriend and I have been doing lately in our site. And then later on, I found myself surfing the net ;-)

Did You Know:
that color blindness affects about 8 percent of men, and approximately 0.5 percent of women? The gene for color blindness expresses itself only when there is no corresponding "normal" color vision gene. Since men only have one X chromosome, the chances of color blindness showing up in men are much higher than in women, who have two X chromosomes. Women may be carriers of the color deficient gene, but not experience color defective vision.

Most color-deficient individuals have varieties of red or green deficiency.
Blue deficiencies are very rare. Color-deficient people are not completely red or green blind. Compared to people with normal color vision, they have some trouble differentiating between certain colors, but the severity of the color deficiency is variable.
Many people think anyone labeled as "color-blind" sees only black and white--like watching a black and white movie. This is a big misconception and is not true. It is extremely rare to be totally color-blind. (The complete absence of any color sensation is called monochromasy.) Less than 1 in 1,000 of those affected by color blindness see only black and white, or shades of gray, and live in a monochromatic world.

Out of curiousity, since my vision is 75/50, thinking that I am a color-blind too, I took the test and the results.. so far, so good. I am not color blind! Ready to take the test too? Click Here.

My Favorite Movies

Kung Fu Hustle

One of my all-time favorites movies... hilarious to describe it in one word. Directed by himself, actor, Stephen Chow has made it again after the hit "Shaolin Soccer". Watch it with your friends and family and you'll sure like it.




the gladiator
Maximus is a powerful Roman general, loved by the people and the aging Emperor, Marcus Aurelius. Before his death, the Emperor chooses Maximus to be his heir over his own son, Commodus, and a power struggle leaves Maximus and his family condemned to death. The powerful general is unable to save his family, and his loss of will allows him to get captured and put into the Gladiator games until he dies. The only desire that fuels him now is the chance to rise to the top so that he will be able to look into the eyes of the man who will feel his revenge.


The Sweetest Thing
Sexy and bold Christina Walters (Cameron Diaz), after years of avoiding meaningful relationships with men, unexpectedly meets her perfect match (Thomas Jane) one night while hanging out with best girlfriends Courtney (Christina Applegate) and Jane (Selma Blair). When she finds out the next morning that he's suddenly left town, she and Courtney set out to find him on a wild road trip, encountering a series of hilarious misadventures on their journey. Their search ultimately leads them to a surprising discovery and the realization that love is, after all, the sweetest thing.



the american pie

In this J.B. Rogers-directed sequel to Paul Weitz's 1999 teen comedy American Pie, the barely post-adolescent group of horny kids from the first film reunite one year later for summer vacation after completing their first year of college.






catch me if you can

An FBI agent tracks down and catches a young con artist who successfully impersonated an airline pilot, doctor, assistant attorney general and history professor, cashing more than $2.5 million in fraudulent checks in 26 countries.

She is very different from the other women in his life. Nelson causes her to miss out on taking the test and later that day she tracks him down. One thing leads to another and Nelson ends up living with her through a November that will change his life forever.

The Notebook
As a man (Garner) reads from a faded notebook to the woman (Rowlands) he regularly visits, his words bring to life the story of a couple (Gosling and McAdams) who are separated by World War II, then passionately reunited 7 years later, after they have taken different paths. Though her memory has faded, his words give her the chance to relive her turbulent youth and the unforgettable love they shared.



Anna and The King
The story of the romance between the King of Siam and the widowed British schoolteacher Anna Leonowens during the 1860's to teach the children of King Mongkut. She becomes involved in his affairs, from the tragic plight of a young concubine to trying to forge an alliance with Britain to a war with Burma that is orchestrated by Britain. In the meantime, a subtle romance develops between them.



Chicago
It's the long-awaited film version of the Broadway hit. Set in the roaring 20's, this is the story of Chicago chorus girl Roxie Hart (Zellweger), who shoots her unfaithful lover (West). Landing in jail, she meets Velma Kelly (Zeta-Jones), another chorus girl and murderess, currently enjoying media attention and legal manipulation, care of her attorney, Billy Flynn (Gere), king of the old "Razzle Dazzle." Soon enough, however, Flynn takes Roxie's case as well, and Velma finds herself old news as Roxie is now the most famous murderess in town, on her way to getting out of jail and becoming a star. The two go through a series of attempts at getting what they both want (often conflicting): freedom and fame.


My Sassy Girl
The connotation you might get from hearing the word "My Sassy Girl" is just a chick flick korean teenage movie, right? Well, it's not... In my opinion, this movie deserves an applause for its semi-kind of originality, unpredictable and enjoyable scenes. Cinematography wise, this movie is unlike most of the western movies which focused on artistic values, this movie has just a bit of it. Looking at the story itself, it is very touching and you will be curious on what will be the ending of the story.





So here goes my ten favorite movies to share you with. Although I still got heaps to share, I will leave you guys with this first ten flicks at the moment and soon, I'll be posting more. Enjoy your day!

MONEY SAVING TIPS #1

• Rent Videos, instead of going to the movies. You can split the cost of video rental with your friends, and buy snacks from the grocery—it’s cheaper than the movie snack bar.
• Quit smoking. Smoking is bad for your health and your pocket. Quitting now saves you money for cigarettes (and future hospitalizations for lung disease).
• Stop hanging out at the mall. Most of us see the mall as our chief place of recreation. Try to break this habit and pass the time somewhere else where the temptation for impulse buying is not as great.
• Exercise on your own, instead of paying for gym memberships or formal classes. You can walk, bike, swim, dance, or run in your own neighborhood without paying a centavo. (this one sure really hits me)
• Buy secondhand. Vintage is in, so shop at the ukay-ukay instead of splurging on brand-new clothes. You’ll be trendier-- and richer!
• Order groceries over the phone. This forces you to stick to your list because you won’t be walking through aisles and aisles of yummy stuff that you don’t actually need.
• Go vegetarian. Cutting out meat from your diet saves not just money but also calories. Plus, you’ll be healthier in your old age.
• Borrow books instead of buying. You can make a pact with your friends to buy a certain book each then just trade afterwards.
• If in case, you can’t order groceries over the phone, make a list of the things on what you need to buy. Plus, buy stuff on their maximum contents because you will save more from it. Don’t buy just for the sake of buying.

“Invest on things that are tangible and lasting. Prioritize things that matter most.”

I have come up with the idea of posting “Money Saving Tips” weekly so that everytime I look at my blog it will remind me to save and not splurge on things that I really don’t need. I hope this would somehow help you guys.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK:

"Don't give up. You may not know success if you stop trying one attempt too soon. Try to get better in some way, each and everyday. They say that room for improvement is always our biggest room."

Gimme some Chance.. ;-)

"All we are singing is give peace a chance..."







Sucky day, that’s how I describe my day. I planned everything at night, wrote down stuff like what to do the next day, where to go and what to buy, only to find out that it will all be ruined because I was locked outside my house! For three hours, I was waiting for someone to rescue my inability to open that friggin door. While trying to keep my cool, I went to my mother’s house to watch T.V. instead. Star Movies (cable channel) aired John Lennon’s “Give Peace a Chance” and “Imagine” Albums. Ooh.. interesting!

Give Peace a Chance

Thirty-five years ago, John Lennon recorded this song in Montreal's Queen Elizabeth Hotel at midnight on May 26, 1969 (it was, in part, due to heat and marijuana) with his wife, Yoko Ono, and some musicians and members of the Canadian Radha Krishna Temple as a protest against the Vietnam War. The room was really jam-packed (as I watched the footage) but according to them, they felt nothing but love for peace and sense of belongingness. Where, as said, the only instrument present there was his guitar. His staff got carried away with the song that they banged the door, walls and even yellow pages like beating the drums and it all blends well with the music. Give Peace a Chance reached no. 14 on Billboard's chart — and would inspire an entire generation to sing a song of peace during the war. Lennon's message of peace is still remembered today, and was rekindled at a Paul McCartney concert in Paris.

Gimme Some Truth

The making of John Lennon’s “Imagine” album… Boy, I didn’t know that He was madly in-love with Yoko (his wife)! He admitted in an interview that He really adored Yoko and confesses too that he wanted to possess him to death. Wow!


Did you know?

Every year on December 8, the day John Lennon was murdered, two dozen roses, half red and half white, are left anonymously by the door of the suite.
The first Bed-In for peace took place in room 902, the presidential suite of the Amsterdam Hilton. Lennon's The Ballad of John and Yoko chronicled the Amsterdam Bed-in.

Allow me to share with you one of my favorite songs he composed:

OH MY LOVE. ( 1971 )

(Co-written with Yoko Ono)

Oh my love for the first time in my life my eyes are wide open
Oh my lover for the first time in my life my eyes can see
I see the wind oh I see the trees
Everything is clear in my heartI see the clouds oh I see the sky
Everything is clear in our world.
Oh my love for the first time in my life my mind is wide open
Oh my lover for the first time in my life my mind can feel
I feel sorrow oh I feel dreamsEverything is clear in my heart
I feel life oh I feel love
Everything is clear in our world.

Guess my sucky day has turned out to be a learning experience for me… so this article pays tribute to John Lennon as a great artist of all time. Bows head!

Your Hidden Talent

Your Hidden Talent

You are a great communicator. You have a real way with words. You're never at a loss to explain what you mean or how you feel. People find it easy to empathize with you, no matter what your situation. When you're up, you make everyone happy. But when you're down, everyone suffers.

What's Your Hidden Talent?

For those who knew me too well, is this true? It made me smile when I read the result, this is sort of a quiz. You should try this, it's fun!

You Know You're Addicted to Photoshop When....

You Know You're Addicted to Photoshop When...

You see the world with one eye and stock images with the other. When asked what the primary colors are, answer "RGB" You get the urge to 'fix' poor quality images. You start teaching your significant other to use this "evil" program and in the space of one afternoon convince them it's at least only quasi-evil in the face of PSP. You ramble about a breakthrough in the piece you're doing to people who have no idea in hell what you're talking about You ponder the meaning of existence without layers. You never leave the house without a digicam and notepad. You drop something and your brain tells you automatically "Ctrl-Z! Ctrl-Z!". When you realize it won't work, your brain tells you "Ctrl-Alt-Z! Ctrl-Alt-Z!" You're getting dressed for something important and you look in the mirror and realize you would look so much better if you could just tweak the levels a little and apply a slight gaussian blur. You stop on the street to rant about cheesey effects that should not be on professional posters. You scream out fonts as they appear on TV. You have dreams in "glowing edges" You're standing by the ocean and wondering who used Ocean Ripple. You actually get these jokes and pass them on to other friends who are addicted to Photoshop.

told ya i love wrecking my pictures on photoshop, even spending hours on how to create a metallic font with gradient stuff something like that. seriously, it's sometimes, my nose just bleeds because i can't get it right. LOL. Have fun reading!

My Misadventures with Abi and Emily Rose

I didn't get the chance to post last night because I was so tired... so here's a little story about my adventures and misadventures anyway.

While at the mall, we couldn't find a dress the way we exactly want. so instead, we decided to have lunch first and treat ourselves to a movie and then go shopping. Abi and I have opposite taste when it comes to food. I like pizza (Italian), she likes Japanese, I offered Chinese and she refused she said she wants American. Geez, I was really going nuts then plus I was really starving. Since we rarely go to the mall together, we agreed to have a sumptuous meal and watched movie together. Going back on what to eat, I enticed her by asking "Would you like to try some Vietnamese instead, gurl, it's something we can't have back in our town, you know?". And like a child, she nodded and said "ok", I won! Lol.

Vietnamese food was superb, I must say. If only Abi ordered a not so super spicy beef, she would have enjoyed her meal like I did. I think she had four glasses of bottomless iced tea and told me she feel like throwing up and sweating. Funny. After eating, talking, and relaxing for ten minutes we hurried down to the movies. We chose to watch 'The Exorcism of Emily Rose'. At first I was so excited but then as I entered the theater and hear the trembling sound effects, I began to get nervous then. I know and I wholeheartedly admit I'm scaredy-cat but I really can't help it though the plot centers around the legal battle that ensues when Emily dies during the exorcism, still the scenes on Emily Rose was being possessed by the demons gave me goose bumps and if only I could, I would hide under Abi’s dress. The funny thing is, there was a moment where I told Abi to just leave the movie and go shopping instead. Abi replied with her infamous swearing “Don’t you waste my money on this movie, just go if you want to *#@%!!” With a pounding heart and feeling cold, I replied with “Can’t you see, I’m gonna die in here? I think I’m gonna have a heart attack and duhh??! This is my treat, remember?!” She was trying to make me laugh though after that. So the feeling subside then. To sum it all up, before the movie finished, Abi and I (take note: just the two of us) had a final scream in one of the scenes where Emily Rose was being possessed by evil (ctually, I don’t wanna recall it). It was really embarrassing but to my surprise, Abi was still screaming stuff like “bullshit, bull crap, bull frog *&#@$” That made me really laugh, imagine, after sixteen years of being together I never knew she had the talent of calling out all the bull word in the wikipedia’s vocabulary?! LOL. So I stopped her by saying “Pussy! Hehehe!” At last the movie was over. It was really such a wonderful feeling leaving that movie house. I am finally out of the darkness. ;-) . I give it a two and a half stars rate though.

It was getting late so we started our dress haunting and in the end, we didn’t find a dress for us but instead stilettos and some cool top. (I’ll post that one soon). Hitting the mall is fun even if too much walking is killing our feet, I must say, it’s worth every pain.

Can you tell if I could be a survivor of the ‘Amazing Race’? Guess. Abi for sure will survive.
Here's my bestgirl's story though. Click.

This is really it!

this is it! i'm finally going to the mall today with my girlfriend abie... and we're gonna buy a dress for Christmas! Yipeee! I guess being a good friend and an angel to Abi is rewarding sometimes. ;-) Thanks to her generous boyfriend, Edgar. Lucky Abi she found someone who can endure her, kidding. I gotta get going now otherwise I'll see how Abi turned into a dragon early in the morning, I can now imagine how she looks like swearing at me and the holes in her nose getting big. Lol. Too bad, I can't get my hands off this keyboard in the morning otherwise it'll be itchy. ;-) See ya later, I'm gonna tell you whatI bought and what are the adventures that happened to me today. Bye!

PS:
crap! i have no idea it's Dec 1st already
Christmas is so soon and still I'm broke!
Oops, bye now really!
