it's the smallest and sweetest things..

First of all, I want to thank kuya Navin for this tag. HEHE, hang sweet mo naman friendship, naalala mo ako :) Salamat po ulit.

For those of you who don't really know, I have been blogging for about 5 years now, I just never
stayed with the same blogsite I guess. I would have to admit that back then, it was more of a
thing I did para masabi lang na may blog ako. You know? I'm sure some of you have
experienced this too, to own something or have something para lang masabi na "o meron dinako niyan". Nakikiuso sabi ng iba, or minsan talagang gaya gaya lang talaga tayo. Kung anong meron ang isa, gusto rin natin diba? Aminin na natin, I guess it's human nature to feel this way.

Everyone has their own definition of a what a blog is, some choose to use it wisely yet some don't. Some choose to write with substance, yet some people don't really have what it takes to write with substance. Sadly, some even just use it for their own evil agendas. It wasn't until about 2 years ago that I decided to try to write with substance. I stopped writing about my daily routines in my blog, instead I wrote about what was going on in my mind or my heart of course. I knew that maturity has started to kick in my life, when I started to write with substance, with a purpose. You know how rewarding it is to be able to convey your thoughts and feelings in the most sensible and admiring way, which makes people start looking up to you and give you the respect you deserve, for the being that you are.

Anyway my point is here, is that I never expected to gain "blog friends". When I started, I was merely writing for myself, I saw blogging as an outlet and nothing else. I mean I was aware that other people could read my rants and whatnots, it's just that I really never expected to have regular readers and commentors, Now it is a completely different story, not only have I gained friends here, but also respect from these people. I know that I have gained their respect in the sense that, I know that they see me as a person who does have a brain. Na may sense akong kausap, because of the way I write and convey my thoughts. Nakaka touch everytime may comments sila and some really really touched my heart, such as ;

"Maganda talaga yung blog mo Krisha. Masarap magbasa-basa sa page mo. Para lan
nakikipagkwentuhan ang mga nagbabasa nito at hindi trying hard ang pagkwekwento mo.
Keep blogging" - Kuya Zkey

" I've really enjoyed reading your entries... If you are my sister, I will be very proud of you,

still I'm so proud of a friend like you who really knows what they wanted at napaka-smart

pa ng mga choices ha he-he...." - kuya PEPE

So anyway, salamat po sa mga naging friends ko through blogging. Thank you for believing in me, and in my abilities. Alam niyo na kung sino sino kayo, dahil naipaparamdam ko yan sa inyo Let's keep each other company throughout our life's journey :)

A ball is a circle. No beginning, no end. Its keeps us together like our circle of friends, But the treasure inside for you to see is the treasure of friendship you've granted to me. Today I pass the friendship ball to my sweetest friends ; Mapi, Cindy, Kuya Zkey, Kuya Pepe, Kuya Mel, Bianca, Ishna, Ate Eleyn, and Bunso.

Keep Reaching for the Stars

Don't stop, never give up

Hold your head high and reach the top

Let the world see what you have got

Bring it all back to you

Hold on to what you try to be

Your individuality

When the world is on your shoulders

Just smile and let it go

If people try to put you down

Just walk on by don't turn around

You only have to answer to yourself

Don't you know it's true what they say

Things are sent to try you

But your time's coming around

So don't you stop tryin'

Don't stop, never give up

Hold your head high and reach the top

Let the world see what you have got

Bring it all back to you

Dream of falling in love

Anything you've been thinking of

When the world seems to get too tough

Bring it all back to YOU

Try not to worry 'bout a thing

Enjoy the good times life can bring

Keep it all inside you

Gotta let the feeling show

Imagination is the key

'Cos you are you're own destiny

You never should be lonely

When time is on your side

Don't you know it's true what they say

Things are sent to try you

But your time's coming around

So don't you stop tryin'

Don't stop, never give up

Hold your head high and reach the top

Let the world see what you have got

Bring it all back to you

Dream of falling in love

Anything you've been thinking of

When the world seems to get too tough

Bring it all back to YOU!

onli in da pilipins part two

BWHAHAHA. I was literally laughing out loud when I saw these. Hay..

ONLI IN DA PILIPINS

When you complain about bad service, inefficiency and/or rudeness, you're called a bitch.

When you compare America for example, to the Philippines and how it's more often than not better there, you are called a person with colonial mentality.

When someone joins a contest, the person with the most tragic story will most likely win.

When you ask the waiter whats the specialty of the restaurant, he will most likely answer, lahat po.

People actually pronounce words that start with S with IS. [eg: ISMAYL]

Crab Mentality is very rampant.

The country is called poor yet there are malls, bars and restaurants everywhere, and almost everyone owns a cellular phone.

When a pretty woman passes by, there will always be an insecure person who will try to analyze the life of that woman and how miserable she must be.

When you are a public personality [note: celebrities, athletes, etc] and you decide to run for politics, you will most likely get the position you're running for.

When buses and trucks are in bad condition [which cause so much pollution], they can still be driven without being reported. Same goes to the taxi drivers who ask for a higher fare when the routes they'll be taking have heavy traffic which means almost everywhere in Manila.

Chocolate is pronounced as tso-ko-leyt.

You cannot go out without spending--for parking, for tip, for anything. Sad, isn't it?

You have the highest chance of being discovered [as a model/celeb] by goi

ng to the mall.

Singers of novelty songs actually receive platinum awards.

Celebrities do everything from singing to dancing to acting to hosting. Even if they're good at none.

Nightlife is very much european-like.

You'll bump into 13-year-old kids in bars--drinking, worse, taking drugs. Yes, that young.

When there are tragedies such as typhoons and earthquakes, you'll even find the victims

smiling and waving at the cameras [as seen on television]. You'll even see these people swimming as if their place is one big, pool. [well yeah, it is.]

Brains without connection is useless.

Movies always have love stories. If ever a true story is produced, trust me, it's about a massacre/rape.

Local hip-hop means squatter [and I do not disagree].

People say open/close the lights. instead of turn on/turn off the lights.

We're the only country that has signs Bawal umihi dito., yet people still do. Worse,

we're the only country with the sign, Bawal tumae dito, in public places. God, Filipinos actually take a shit even in open spaces?

And where else would you find signs like these?

HAHA hope that made you laugh. I don't mean to diss and insult our own country, I just thought that these pictures are funny.

PS> Happy birthday to my mahal today! =)
mahal kita!

My Eight different points to my perfect male lover.

So yeah, I just feel like talking about "LOVE", or "THE ONE" . Strangely, now I don't know where to start... anyway I've always believed that when you meet your "soul mate", you'd just know. you wouldn't need to have a specific "criteria" to know that that they are "the one".. when it comes to the people you love (whether it be your mother, father, brother, lover or friend) you'd accept them for who they are, with all their flaws....as that old line goes; you see the imperfect person perfectly. Also, I knew that I wouldn’t be describing him. But now, after going through "some things", I know what I want and I wont settle for less. I've realized that having standards isn't such a cold and heartless thing.. without standards, any joe blow or jane doe could take advantage of, and manipulate you.. Sometimes you've got to draw the line somewhere.. ok, so maybe some of my own frustrations are starting to seep through, oops Im just babbling and I'm getting a bit side tracked, so I'll just get to the point;

So I came up with eight different points which describe my perfect lover.

My Eight different points to my perfect lover;

1. He's got to be someone who has a good sense of humor. I like guys who aren't too "mature", or "cool" to be silly and aren't too "macho" to laugh at themselves. I dislike (I'm trying not to use hate because maybe sometimes I'm guilty of this too) guys who take themselves too seriously.. guys who are too afraid to be themselves because they fear being ridiculed and rejected by their friends.

2. Naturally, a person with a good sense of humor would also be a person who is funny and fun to be around. I simply can NOT be with a boring person. I don't need to go to an expensive restaurant and champagne to have a good time.. what I do need is someone who I can talk to for hours and hours, or sit around and do nothing with, but never get bored. I dont care if he took me to a fish ball restaurant, and have a tricycle as a ride. I don't care if we speak on the phone for 5 hours straight if it's not possible to be with him physically. I have a soft spot for guys who know how to make me laugh when I don’t even want to smile.

3. DIRECTION. He doesn't necessarily need to know where he’ll be in five, ten fifteen years, but it would be nice to see him trying to figure out what he wants in life, and have the audacity to go after it.. I don't want someone who sits around, waiting for "life" to be handed to them on a silver platter.. seeing someone go after their dreams is not only "inspiring", but it's sexy

4. CONFIDENCE is also sexy. I’m not saying that I dig guys who are up themselves and are “arrogant”, because that’s just a turn off. But guys who are comfortable in their own skin and know who they are …are just so… intriguing. Something as in I want to find out what it is. What’s so great about them, what am I missing out on? Guys who are too shy and too afraid to let their hair down, relax and not care about what everyone else think frustrates me.

5. He’s gotta be grown – up. I don't know, ever since Ive always been attracted to older guys, I'm talking about 6 years older than me kind of thing. He needs to be able to take control of his life, admit when he’s wrong and be responsible and reliable. He can’t be the type of guy blames everyone (but himself) for his unhappiness and he definitely can’t be the type of guy who’s too stubborn to say sorry when he knows that he’s wrong. I want a guy who would talk to me rather than yell at me when an argument arises. Having said that, I also LOVE guys who are still young at heart. He’s also got to be strong and secure. He needs to be honest and mean what he says. I like consistency.

6. It’s important to me that a guy has RESPECT. Not only for myself, but for my family, friends and probably people in general.. Without my friends and family Id be nothing, so having a relationship with them is also a MUST.

7. Individuality is also important to me. I don’t want him to be a clone of anyone else. I don’t want him to act, behave or dress a certain way because everyone else is doing it. The decisions he makes have got to be his own and not a reflection of what everyone else wants him to do. Predictable guys are just so boring. I like imperfection. Quirkiness is ADORABLE, it defines who that person is.

8. Lastly, to top it all off, the one thing that would definitely make me fall head over heels in love is a guy who is kind, compassionate and is capable of making good moral decisions. I want him to be the type of guy who won’t sit back and let injustices occur, I want a guy who will show me how much I really mean to them whether or not he is in a good or a bad mood. Someone who will hug me instead of yell at me when we're fighting, someone who will stick up for me no matter what.

matters of the heart

victims of the same shit - when love walks out, pain walks in..

in an instant .. love does go away

dreams. hopes. wishes. desires. you want it all. you dream of it. you hope for it. you wish for it. you desire for it. it takes your mind away, to a place full of happiness.. away from pessimism. then, IN AN INSTANT.. in a soft voice, in a calm movement.. however, seeming so jagged, these dreams, hopes, wishes & desires, are taken from you, you are abandoned from it, they are forever gone.. & although its hard to believe.. it's TRUE. your world crashes, everything just tumbles.. lower than the earth below you. you fall to the floor.. struggling to get up on your own two feet again. you now realise that you've lost everything, all you've ever wanted. you don't know what to do, what to think.. as all of a sudden, without you realising it's GONE..

girls are breaking down & are left heartbroken by mishaps with the opposite sex. & fuck that. indeed, it does pain me to see a girl cry over a silly boy. yes, I admit I went through those dark & depressed days, but those days are over now for me. It's been behind me for a long long while now & it only brings me great great joy to reminisce on the good times i shared with him in the past, the good times I'm sharing with him at present & the good times we long to share for the future. Amongst my happiness, knowing that boys.. with their male egos & self-involved personalities.. hurt girls the way they do, absolutely frustrates me. who the fickk do they think they are ? so at the moment, seeing numerous friends depressed & fucked up by these characters make me wanna hate on them.

( no offense to all the men out there, I know not all of you are jerks).

words from a good friend

PRIDE

Even the most patient and most persistent people grow tired.

Tired of ALWAYS taking initiative and lowering their PRIDE.

Swallowing of PRIDE is a sign of LOVE and MATURITY.

But doing so ain't easy.

It takes a lot of guts and courage.

But TOO MUCH is destructive to oneself.

When you know for yourself that you've done your part,

LET THEM DO THEIRS.

It is not giving up.

It is not cowardice.

It is called saving yourself.

Save yourself some PRIDE before you got nothin' left.

Let them swallow a little of theirs for they have a lot.

Let them realize your REAL worth.

Let them realize that it is NOT ALWAYS about them.

You are lucky to have them,

BUT

let them REALIZE that they are "REALLY LUCKY" to have you too.

That you are worth lowering their PRIDE for.

That for once, they should start being the 1st to

admit and start to work things up.

For you have been doing this a lot in the past.

If by reading this, PRIDE still reigns in them,

then it is clear,

PRIDE is more important than You.

For all the swallowing and lowering you've done,

they can't even do it for you once.

- - -

LOVE between you both is no question.

But PRIDE blurs it.

Kills it.

And buries it.

If there's one thing you don't need in your relationship,

it is

Pride.

from my bestfriend, mapi's blog. I was just reading it again for the nth time, and I couldn't help but think that its true.

I was watching "MAGING SINO KA MAN" last night and there was a scene where, Celine ( Anne Curtis) breaks up with her boyfriend JB ( Sam Milby) because she thinks that being with him hurts the both of them, so she'd rather break it off and set him free so that he can live his own life too.

So you get the picture, she breaks it off, leaves him.. He follows her to the island where they met. Breaks down in front of her, as he falls down on both his knees he then says " please Celine, ask me to say". SHET, naiyak ako sa ka sweet-an haha. Yes I am a sucker for love stories as such. Then Celine helps him up and says " JB Berengger, where is your pride?".. He then answers.. " Celine with you, I have no pride". AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH. Isn't that the sweetest thing? I know I know, it maybe corny but I believe that, that is what LOVE is all about. SWALLOWING one's pride for the one you love.

It doesn't matter if to others you may look desperate, at "naghahabol".. bottom line is you are brave enough to fight for your love, instead of letting pride ruin not just the love you have, but also YOU.

mga gantimpala

Maraming salamat kay Kuya Oliver sa kaniyang pagkilala sa aking blog.

Now I would love to share this award to my bestfriend Mapi, my Homey Cindy, and my bruha Bianca

Maraming salamat to my Kuya Zkey dahil sa ipinagkaloob niyang gantimpala. Thanks kuya, I love you! Ang number one fan ko! Haha.

This 5-Star Blog Award is given to a blogger whose blog is of highest classification.A blog of excellence in the following criteria:- content, design and style, informative and accomodating.

So I'm going to use this opportunity to thank a few of people. So here it goes ;

To my bestfriend, sister, kakampi, karamay MAPI ; She is the most down-to-earth, considerate and inspired person you could ever hope to meet. Always quick with a kind word, supportive encouragement, or a helping hand. Its amazing how we talk everyday, anytime of the day, without getting sick of each other haha. Truly a bestfriend with integrity.
A lot of people have tried to test our friendship, tried to turn us against each other, and I'm glad that our friendship is beyond gossip and stupid backstabbing. They used to say that our friendship won't last, but hey look where we are now, I'm glad because we know in our hearts how much we mean to each other. One flaw of this girl is that she doesn't know how important she is in other peoples lives. She's in fact a diamond, although at a very young age, she is tested by time, polished by challenges, a precious gem itself. A loyal friend, someone who never fails to make you feel good even if you think that there's no hope for tomorrow.. A lot of people judge her for being upfront about her feelings, but hey at least she's one of the most honest person I have ever met in my life. People who knows her best, knows that she is a friend to be kept for years and for a lifetime, unfortunately people who knows less fails to see her beauty under her skin. She's the type of friend who will be there through the roughest times, and also that person who will slap you out of your idiocy and back into reality. To tell you the truth, she's the one who knows when something's bothering me even before I open my mouth, she's the one who knows how I feel even before I start opening up, and most importantly she's the one who understands me no matter how stupid I get. I love you so much mare, thanks for always being there for me.

To my newly found friend and homey CINDY ; A beautiful lady inside and out. Although we just met for a short period of time, we were able to see each others real self and she has this stickiness factor that you would want to be close with her even though you've just met each other. Wow there's so much to say about this person, at first I thought she was one of those snobby and cocky pretty girls you know. Haha I don't stereotype much, but as soon as I got to know the real Cindy, I realized that she is one of nicest and funniest people you can meet, her smile palang just warms everyone up inside. I am sure that she's not one of those "plastic" people who just pretend to be nice to you, and then back stab the hell out of you behind your back, you know.. she is what they call "totoong tao".. What you see is what you get. It didn't take me long to warm up to her, because she's such a good person. Parang no matter how bad things are, just knowing that she is there to smile and listen would make you feel better. Basta, magaan ang loob ko sa babaeng ito haha. There is never a dull moment when you talk to her. Now maybe that stickiness factor I was telling you about a while ago was her sweetness? Or maybe her ka-kwelahan? All I know is that she is a great friend and there's something about her that makes us click. Mwah love you homey.

To my ever loving kuya ZKEY; wow what can I say, apart from him being my number one fan. HAHA, Kuya I just want to use this opportunity to thank you for believing in me, and for admiring and supporting the way I handle my thoughts. Alam ko na naniniwala ka sa mga kakayahan ko, at mga pwede ko pang gawin in life. It means so much to me kapag nasasabi mo sakin na " wow nice entry" because it shows na may content ang blog ko, at hindi puro mga walang kwenta lang ang laman nito. I am glad I had the opportunity to meet someone like you, because your personality just inspires me, and makes me believe that there are still people out there, with a pure good heart. Thanks for being a part of my life kuya Zkey, and thanks for being my kuya.

back stabbers are nothing but a lying two faced dog..

Haven't we all had our fair share of meeting someone who has backstabbed us, maybe it be in the past or could be happening right now. Being a backstabber usually is synonymous with being a traitor and a lying two faced dog. To be two-faced is to have two different personalities, usually one condescending and the other highly spiteful .The best example of such is the classic co-worker who pays you nothing but compliments to your face, and congratulates you heartily when you do well, and praises you to your peers- and as soon as you turn your back, nothing but

derogatory gossip

spills from their mouths, the majority of which is usually directed at your direct superior. Thus, you suspect nothing of their slander, and they can improve their status in the eyes of others.

Stay out of gossip circles. Politely refuse to listen to anybody rant and rave about other people's lives. It may seem interesting gossiping about someone else's lives, but honestly, what do you get out of it? Do you take pleasure in gossips?

Sometimes, you can't get away from the two-faced rat running her/his mouth. That's when you ignore her/him. As you let her/him rattle away, your replies should not contain more than three words: "Mmmm.", "Mmmm?", and "MMMMM!". Don't offer opinions one way or the other on the person being gossipped about, because these losers will always double-cross you.

Two faced people have no confidence in themselves they think they need to talk bad about a person to make themselves look better. They feel they have to prove to other people that they are great so that the person they are bitching about looks bad. REMEMBER, if they keep bitching about other people's lives, what makes you think that they won't bitch about yours behind your back? GOTCHA, there's a difference between stating an opinion about someone, and backstabbing at bitching about someone. These two should never be confused for being the same. Once you attack a person behind their back verbally, I think that's crossing the line a bit too far. I mean hey, who are you to judge someone else's life right?

Good friends are hard to find these days. Good friends that will stick by you whether you are right or wrong. And if you are wrong, a good friend should never berate you, laugh at you and think it jolly amongst their friends. That isn't what friendship is about. And when you get into contentious debate a good friend will either a) stick up for you, b) try to delegate and find a good working ground to settle on, or c) nominate to not get involved but still have an open enough mind to help you find a solution. A good friend wouldn't sacrifice a friendship just for the sake of saving their own face. It is all about love. Love for your friends

However, once someone learns of their peer's contradictory dual nature, their reputation suffers greatly. Look at it this way- would you like to be friends with someone who only pays you lip service?

munting regalo

Thank you Kuya Pepe for the "gift". Medyo matagal tagal na rin tayong blogmates, bahaha promise pag nagpunta ako ng Sydney, ililibre kita ng meatpie. HAHAHA.
Kahit alam kong napilitan ka lang ibigay itong gift! haha joke lang, mwah.
thanks kuya.

"It's not who you are underneath, but what you do that defines you."

--Batman Begins

Gotcha! That thirteen-word line made me realize the unconscious thinking I've always had, and in a very articulate way, it conveyed a message I've long been trying to send or better yet want people to understand.

Sometimes, it amazes me how short quotes change the way you see or feel about certain things.

That line talked about so many things, and I bet it was interpreted more than ways I could imagine. But in the end, I think it talks most of one thought--that no matter how we see things, no matter how we really think or feel, in the end, it's what we do about it, or what we do that makes a mark and tells so much about our personality.

Sometimes, we tend to keep our feelings inside, and just let it stay there forever. We see an old woman out in the cold freezing, and inside our minds we think, "What a pity! I feel for her!" But then, keep on walking without even doing anything about how we actually felt towards the old woman.

Anyway, tagalog naman tayo. Feel ko lang. So what does the quote really mean to you? Sabi nila, kahit anong sabihin mo sa isang tao, o trato mo sa kanila, bale wala yun sa mga actions na pinapakita mo sa kanila, [ hindi ibig sabihin nito na sa kanila mo mismo ginagawa ito ], nakikita lang nila kung ano kang klaseng tao dahil sa hulit huli ang pinag gaga-gawa mo just defines who you really are.

Magulo ba yung sinabi ko? Sorry haha, okay eto ang isang example, kunwari pinapakita mo sa mga kaibigan mo na mabait ka, na you don't agree with people doing this and this, pero without even noticing, sa mga actions mo just to show na you don't agree with something, nasisira mo narin ang sarili mo sa kanila, dahil sa mga maling pag handle mo ng situation. Hindi naman inaalis sayo na ang paniniwala sa isang bagay, pero as Ive mentioned before, it's what you do about it that defines who you really are.

Napaisip ba kayo? Ako oo. Haha dumudugo tuloy ilong ko, sa mga pinagsasabi ko. HAHA ang hirap mag blog sa tagalog, but at least I tried, doesn't mean you understand what I'm really trying to say. BAHAHA bweset na Batman movie yun, napaisip tuloy ako.

the surprise bbq for me; from the boys

THANKS SO MUCH GUYS.

birthday blues

NAKAKABWISIT. BAHAH ok not really a good way to start my sentence. I just hate it when I URGENTLY need to buy a dress, for an occasion and for some random reason I can never find the "right" dress, or sometimes when I do end up finding one, it's either they don't have my size or the colour I want. WHYYYYYYY? LOL, I need to buy a dress for my Friday Night, and I found one at French Connection today, but something was wrong with it. It was also the one and only design that I LOVED. Oh brother.. BWISET, sayang yung pag ikot ko sa mall for 2 hours.

I'm going to try and find another dress tomorrow in the city with Jonni. Hopefully I will find something. I'm thinking of a purple dress, or maybe yellow or maybe even electric blue. What colour should I try this time.. Hmm.. HAHA i love dressing up :) See you guys!

P.S ; thanks to all those who have greeted me early too. xo

birthday ko na bukas!! =)

HUHU last day today of being a teenager!

UPDATE:

IM SAD.
HAAY

To all who grew up in the 90's...

We loved growing up in the 90s!! Didn't you? Anyway, at the risk of sounding horribly stereotyped here goes… We all practically grew up in the 90s and theres definitely a few memories we all have! Don't you just miss the 90's? Not that we're that old, to even remember everything, and compare it to nowadays. Remember all the boybands, Britney Spears and the Spicegirls? The songs, shalala and macarena? Come on, you gotta admit you loved them right? Haha. Remember those days when we used to stick posters of the Backstreet boys, N'sync and Boy zone into our bedroom walls? LOL, thinking about these days just puts a really big smile on my face, and honestly ang baduy haha. I was in the car with my friend today, and we were listening and dancing to all the popular songs in the 90's, and it just brings back so many memories we truly miss.

remember when?..

* Before the MySpace/ Facebook/Friendster frenzy.

* Before the Internet & text messaging.

* Before Sidekicks & iPods.

* Before PlayStation2 or X-BOX.

* When you rented VHS tapes, not DVDs.

* When gas was $0.95 a gallon & Caller ID was a new thing.

* When we recorded stuff on VCRs & paid $3.50 for a movie.

* When we called the radio station to request songs to hear off our walkmans.

* Hide-n-Go Seek at dusk.

* Red Light, Green Light.

* When Christmas was the most exciting time of year.

* Heads Up 7 Up.

* Hopskotch.

* When $5 seemed like a million, & another dollar a miracle.

* Tree Houses.

* Mother May I..?

* Getting the privelage to sit in the front seat of the car.

* Hula Hoops.

* The annoying Nano Pets & Furbies and Pokemon.

* Running through the sprinklers.

* Happy Meals where you chose a Barbie or a Hot Wheels car.

* Watching Saturday Morning Cartoons in your PJ's still wrapped up in your Garfield comforter.

* Hey Arnold, Doug, Rugrats.

* The original Power Rangers

* You knew that Kimberly, the pink ranger, and Tommy, the green Ranger were meant to be together.

* Double Dare.

* Wearing your new shoes on the first day of school.

* You know what it meant to say "Care Bear Stare!!"

* When you begged to go to McDonalds for dinner everyday.

with you

I'm really, and when I say really. I mean really happy at the moment. I know it's probably too early to say, but I feel like 2008 will, or could be a good year for me. Considering 2007 was pretty tough for me, I'd say I deserve the chance to stand up and keep shining this year, dont you think? Haay, I now believe in that saying, "good things come to those who wait".

Love life wise, ahh. I couldn't ask for more. I'm very much happy with my boyfriend, considering the bad break up last October. I'm glad that we've pulled through all those bumpy roads together. I'm glad, that we've set out our differences, and fought for our love. We found eachother 17 months ago and still I find myself loving him more each day, he is my soul mate and the only love of my life. I honestly believe that it was fate the day we met, we were meant to fall in love and one day I know that when the time is right we will be together the way we are meant to be.

I knew distance has so much potential to ruin relationships, to tear people apart ... but our relationship only gets better with every passing day ... but we are so in love with each other and the distance only makes us appreciate each other more; it only strengthens our love. He is the most wonderful man I have ever known ... the way he knows my soul ... he knows my thoughts ... my wants and needs ...he knows everything. After 17 months of being together, I can say that distance is nothing for us; together, we can conquer anything ... because our love is just that strong. Mahal na mahal kita bebe ko. Your my life.

3 more days till my birthday!

revenge is sweeter than you ever were..

after trying to curl my hair today, do you think it suits me more than straight hair? I don't know, I'm just experimenting at the moment, I guess I'm getting sick of having it straight all the time. Should I curl it for my 20th?

on false advertising

False advertising is any type of advertising that deceives consumers. Even advertising that only has the potential to be misunderstood by consumers may be construed as false advertising. In most cases, false advertising leads the consumer to believe that he is somehow profiting from a purchase. He may think he is getting a good deal, saving money, or buying something that will perform in a specific manner. Actually, the advantage is all on the side of the advertiser and companies who practice false advertising. Any potential benefit to the consumer is usually non-existant.

If there is one thing that I hate, and I know that hate is such a strong word, but I absolutely hate the fact that in the Philippines, false advertising is now one of the billions of scams that already exists there. Honestly, it irritates the hell out of me.

I was watching the news on TFC two days ago, and false advertising was one of the many issues covered. It absolutely irritated me. WHY? Imagine yourself walking around peacefully around the mall looking for something nice to buy, keeping an eye on items that might even be on sale. A big sign that says " 70% off store wide " sign catches your attention. You then, are encouraged to enter the store believing what the sign actually says, only to discover that there's a scam behind it.

Irritated yet? How about salons for example. Imagine finding a salon, that advertises "80pesos hotoil - any length" It's tempting right? You then walk in the salon, only to be told by the hairdressers, " ay ate 300 pesos yang buhok mo kasi mahaba siya at medyo makapal"

They should all be sued for false and deceptive advertising.
