Empty Head

At this very moment, I'm typing in an empty text box but I still don't have the idea on what to blog about. AGAIN. Writing this very sentence takes about two minutes because my head is still spinning from lack of sleep last night. Actually EVERY night. I always tend to wake up on the wee hours and stare at nowhereness.

 

Before I typed this sentence, I had finished reading parts of the Catching Fire ebook, roll on the bed a few times, and watched a cooking show. That's how empty-headed I am right now. Now I have something worth-sharing.

 

The other night, I woke up  and the first thing I did was to check the time in my cellphone. The digital clock showed 2:24 am. It felt like I had been in a very deep sleep and wake up not remembering anything except that my position the night before was still what I'm in at the moment. The fact that I sleep facing the wall on my right, the right phase of my body was sore. I turn and relax and face the ceiling and what I do to make myself sleep again is to reflect on myself. I think of what I learned yesterday and the things that matter to me the most.  All of a sudden, the feeling of fear creeps into me. I start to pray, asking god to embrace me and put me to sleep again but I can't. I end up just closing my eyes for hours and see images on the lids of it. A number of hours pass and I sleep. Probably at 4 am. I wake up in the morning at 11 am and eat my breakfast slash lunch.

Drowsy
this is how i look like every morning. 

Confession: I can't sleep without my mom !! She's coming back on Thursday and that means I still have two sleepless nights to overcome until I get a sound sleep. My mom wasn't here for a week so you could just imagine how I look like a drug addict now. (eksaherada lang) 

 

I'm too random noh ? Don't mind me. Just so I have something to post :)

Cards,Anyone?

Cards

 

When I was small, I used to make cards for my mom using the generic (aka boring) stationaries that I found at home. My mom always ended up getting piles of 'mails' in her closet. I put it there for the extra surprise-mom effect. hahahaha. I just found out my mom kept those letters all these years. How embarrassing.

In the left photo, my sister and I wrote it together back when we were very close. Look at the permanent pen written on the envelope,too dirty >.<  The letter was soooo immature that I love to share what we wrote to you guys :) hahaha

"Dear Papa & Mama,

We love you very much. We hope you like our letter for you. Mama and Papa, pwede ba tayong pumunta kahit saan basta malapit lang? (Wait,whhaat? LOL)  Ma and Pa, kain tayo sa BBQ station, punta tayo sa mall at maligo tayo sa beach.Advance Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. We love you so much.

Surprised-gasp
WHATDA...? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

The card on the right was the one I gave my mom just this year's valentines. I don't write cards anymore since I was 10, for your information. That was a requirement at school and we have to give it to our teacher first for checking, How could we get away from that? LOL 

My teacher still don't know that I googled the letter inside but I mean it :) The writer and I have the same feelings eh. Ok, that was a SUPERSHARE. kbye.

Everything a Woman can be

Mothers

Today is May 13 and we all know it's Mothers' day. Too bad for me, mama is in Iligan now to have my brother enrolled in college. We went to church with my housemates and I had read a very wonderful message in the programme. 

I would like to share this to all of you beacause you are so dear to me but it's too long to type.When I try to copy-paste it, it doesn't look good heehee Forgive me and my laziness. Good thing it's in the internet. If it's too long, you can skip it if you want :) But if you want to read it, better :P

 

 READ IT HERE

Wonderful,isn't it? :) (You won't get me if you didn't read it) To sum it up, Moms give their children everything yet she doesn't receive any appreciation. It talks about how children think only about themselves. Still, moms don't give up on caring for you and giving you a life she wants you to live. While we(children) age, we forget that our mothers are becoming older as well. Love your mother more than you love yourself for without them, you won't be here reading my blog :P

My mom is the prettiest I swear. I am proud to be one of her children :) Some people say- "Being a mom is everything a woman can be." True. A doctor,a chef, etc. At times, I find her annoying (aminin nyo na) but admit it, you love her more than anything else <3 Thanks Mama, I love you so so so much.

It's Time to SarBay!

"Sarangani Bay is a bay located on the southern tip of Mindanao in the Philippines. It opens up to the Celebes Sea on the Pacific OceanGeneral Santos City, one of the Philippines most important cities and ports, is located on the bay, making the bay one of the busiest. The province of Sarangani, created in 1992, is named after the bay."

 

The clear waters of the Sarangani Bay is home to many aquatic species. Not only that, Sarangani Bay's white-sand beaches (porpularly called the beaches of Gumasa) plus its fascinating sceneries are what you would like to paint on your canvases. The beach is perfect for peace-loving people especially that the people there have a warm welcoming spirit and presents an aura that's equally beautiful as the place they live in.

 

 While Visayan people say "We have Boracay!", the people of the south has also something to say: "Wala kayo sa amin, meron kaming Gumasa!" ANSAVEEHH?!

 

Do I sound formal now ? :) That was just the introduction. It was hard looking for facts about the Sarangani Bay ha ? The ideas are so limited on google. Good thing I found its geographical information on Wikipedia,the website that won't let you down hahahaha

 

I seriously studied the handout they had given me during the 'like marathon' . I even used a highlighter so I wouldn't forget the facts that I want to emphasize the most.

Just so you know, SarBay Fest is the biggest beach party in Mindanao. It is a two-day event you will never forget. This year's fest is the 7th celebration since 2006. 

From 5,000 people who partied with them in the first SarBay Fest, they are expecting over 40,000 tourists on May 18-19 to party on the beaches of Gumasa from sunset until sunrise. Now,how cool is that ?! I know! That number's a lot. That's why they're also preparing a bigger place for better partying (LOL) which is a two-hectare venue which is enough to cater all party people.hahaha

 

One of the higlights of the celebration is the 15-kilometer swim-across-the-bay (which I would really love to participate) wherein ten teams will compete from Tinoto beach in Maasim to Reycon Beach in Glan. On the second thought, I think it would be better for someone with low endurance (like me) to just watch and cheer hahahaha Three-hour swim? No thanks, but to people who loves extremes: WHY NOT?!

Other activities include the paragliding in Maasim (which would really fulfill my dream of seeing the skies upclose) , fire dance competition which is open to all and of course,party. Who would not like to have fun all night? 

Img_9166
Speakers,volume up for It's time to SarBay! 

Now lets take a look at the Fest's deeper purpose: "..whatever gross the organizers get from SarBay fest,it'll always go to the bay's benefits-putting up artificial reefs,clean-ups, and harvesting of crown of thorns are just a few." 

 

Let me ask you, where can you find a place where you party and yet you still help? SARBAY,I say. 

 

Classes are opening guys, you don't want to miss this event! It's a very fun way to end your summer vacation,right? :)

Weird Teacher

Last Monday, May 7, My mom and I went to Koronadal for some agenda. Koronadal is a 45-minute ride from Gensan. We went to Gaisano Grand Koronadal and it's not the same as the malls in our city. For all you know, I love Koronadal. We joined the RSPC (Regional Schools Press Conference) which was held there in two consecutive years (2010-2011). But their malls are....

418475_2654319126067_1498471522_2076196_761749187_n
The last time I went to Koronadal, the construction of Gaisano Grand was not yet finished:

Pc010043
Everytime we pass by the on-going construction, I would say to myself "Aaah, maganda 'to."

By the way, the building was the former Fit Mart Marbel. It was opened I think just between late December and early this January. I can't find it in the internet.

So, we went there supposedly to eat our lunch, but then the only place to eat there was the food court. We were expecting they have something like greenwhich because we feel like eating pizza but they don't. Considering they just opened, I'm like "Oh, they just opened.That must be why they don't even have jollibee in here pa." hahahaha

 

But wait, their clothes choices in the Department Store was pretty good and my hands are dying to get some. We transferred to another mall but the place is not worth-sharing. Sorryyy. 

 

 

 

Anyway, that was not what I was going to share. Upon entrance (Gaisano), some highschoolers came up to us and offered us some free hugs. They told us it's their requirement in school. Wait,WHAT? What was that teacher-who-gave-them-such-requirement thinking?Your teacher is scary.. A hug is something not easy to give to just someone you met for the very first time. What if they're pickpockets? hahahahahaha

1.) They hug somebody.

2.) Take a picture while they're hugging.

Seriously,who would hug someone they don't know? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

I'm not pissed  off here,okay? I just find them funny. Good Luck, baka wala kayong picture na mapasa. I literally ignored them and my mom and I just walked away (At least mama smiled at them.) 

 

--THE END--

R.I.P Vidal Sassoon

Michelle Phan posted a photo of Vidal Sassoon via facebook earlier this morning:

I read The LA Times' website and was surprised to have confirmed the sad news :( 

Vidal Sassoon, the legendary hairstylist, died May 9,2012 at his home in Los Angeles. Ok, now that's sad.

 

 

Today's Photo Diary

Today, I was invited to a Web Video Blogging Training by our school's Supreme Students' Government (SSG)'s President, and my classmate and a very good friend as well Abbygale Sunico and our school's Information Technology Expert, Sir Justin Tubao. It was held at Mabuhay I.T Park General Santos City which is located just behind Sun City Suites. 

 

We were asked to assemble at the convinience store at 8 am but being the Filipino that we are, Henny (she's kind of our neighbor but not really,I went with her to sun city) and I went 30 minutes late. I promise it wont happen again galey ! <3

Here were the photos I took, sorry for the others are a bit crappy :( 

Img_2447
8:30-9 am WAITING FOR THE OTHERS... At least we weren't the only ones who came late. P.S: They were having a hard time on which lesson to attend-wether Photoshop, Blogging, or Video Editing. In case you want to know, I joined the Video Editing Class :D and I have to say, IT'S COOL.

Img_2448
The Venue. It was a comfortable venue, complete with the best I.T facilities, a big thanks to our city mayor Hon. Darlene Antonino ! Nakakaignorante yung door. 

Img_2449
Supposed to be, ako yung mauunang magpapicture eh ! Joke :)) That's Henny, the gentle giant of the school. She acts like a baby yet thinks with maturity hahahahaha. 

Img_2450
Posing like tourists, we show big smiles in front of the building we visited for the first time. "Wag maging turista sa sariling bayan" Sorry, malay ko bang may ganito sa GenSan. Nakakaproud! World -class technologies and stuff hahahaha

Img_2452
Before we enter, we have to sign up a logbook. Ohkayy.. that's my cute classmate Alexis signing up :)

Img_2453
THE TRAINING. We learned a lot during the lessons.Say hello to Domo-kun! :) It was fun listening to the experts. Nakakahawa. CHOS.

Img_2454
Sadly, the connection's slowwww. Look at those tiles of photos without even one picture loading :(

EVALUATION SHEET ASKED:(*Paraphrased)

2.) What can you suggest to improve the training blablabla?

"It could have been better if the internet connection was faster, beacause even downloading pictures from the world wide web took a lot of time and we had just limited time to finish our works. Other than that, the training was the best "

Well, I'm just being honest and safe naman yung answer ko hahahaha the second sentence was like avoiding some argument. SIPSIP!!

Img_2455
LUNCH! The very reason why I attended (joke), was finally served. Fish Fillet, (Not sure if that's chopseuy or veggie salad coz the vegetables are kind of raw)to be safe,vegetable,macaroni salad and...2 rice ? Judging from how skinny I am, obviously, hindi ko naubos yung food. sayang :((

 For the video I made, It was a happy-mothers'-day video and I forgot to get my own copy. How sad. But its okay.

After ze awzumm training, we went to the mall for a walk ^_________^ and.....food and... play :)

 

We played four rounds of ball and I am proud to say that the three of us got 200+ points in round one and round three,i think. YAYYY!!

Healthy Living

As I was surfing the net, I saw one article from Holykaw.Alltop.com This blogsite posts everything that concerns human interests and since I'm human I was interested with its one post titled (harhar)

 

'Yogurt-eatin’ mice are sexy and they know it'

It basically explains that eating yogurt can make people stay fit as they used the mice as their specimen. Plus, the research gave the experimental mouse a glossier fur than the standard-eating mouse. I love eating yogurt. In fact, everytime I go to grocery stores with my mom, I'd get 2 of Nestle's Strawberry Yogurt. It has real fruit pieces and since it has some Live microorganisms that works on my digestive system, I run to the comfort room to finish some kind of  'urgent business' .

If_you_know_what_i_mean

(Read article here )

One of Yahoo PH's news for today was about how jogging extends your life span a little longer.

(Want to read the news? Click here

"According to new data, men who regularly jog can add 6.2 years to their life while women can tack on 5.6 years. "

 

You can do so much in that 5.6 years, hello? Let's go jogging everyday!!!!!!!!! LOLOLOL But seriously, you have to go jog for an average of three times in a week.

How do you like to go on a jogging at 4 am, after that you eat breakfast and eat yogurt ? XD You will look sexy plus you get to have more years to be with your loved ones. I say,

LSS <3

I wasn't able to blog something yesterday because my mom and I went somewhere out of town. (And, again, I have nothing to blog about) Anyway, let me share to you the song that's stucked inside my head,and the reason why I can't sleep because I kept singing this while on the bed.

 

Screw the closeup commercial! Now I'm never going to sleep peacefully !! Hahahaha jokes. What I like in this song is that its intro is just so calming and peaceful. There's something in it that makes me want to listen to the song over and over <3 lalalala 

 

I did a little research about the band behind this beautiful song and I was surprised to find out they're Filipinos. They sound international and I-am-not-kidding. When they are asked about the genre of music they play, New Wave Synth Rock, Keyboard-driven Rock, is what they say. You guys create good music, just keep it up and never stop hahahaha

 

The two songs that's also giving me LSS:

Now you know what type of music I like. Sing with me ! :)

Wisecrack- Swag

A while ago, I posted a tweet about people who claim they have swag even when they don't. Honestly, tingin ko sa mga feeling they-have-the-swag, jejemon. Bitter noh ? But it's true hehe I'm not saying all "swaggers" you know, don't get me wrong. If feel mo bagay ka, go. If not.. no thanks. I mean you'll look/feel better if you'd be your simple self :)  Konti lang naman talaga ang kinaiinisan ko eh. O hindi ko lang talaga gets kung anong swag ? LOL 

Swagg
Nigahiga, we have the same opinion, we should be together LOLJK. 

 

wala lang, I just came across that thought after watching bieber's new music vid, "boyfriend". The lyrics were just so.. "blablabla, be with me, i'll be the best boyfriend ever coz I have swag." (P.S: those are not the lyrics but my interpretation) 

"If I was your boyfriend,

 I’d never let you goI can take you places you ain’t never been before

 Baby take a chance or you’ll never ever know

I got money in my hands that I’d really like to blow

Swag swag swag, on you

Chillin by the fire why we eatin’ fondue

I dunno about me but I know about you

So say hello to falsetto in three two"

Justin-bieber-boyfriend-video-400x300
Sorry Justin, you're handsome and all but I wont be your girlfriend just because of the "swag" you got and the money you have. 

 

Don't take it too serously, 

Joylin <3
