Anything about Everything

The year 2012 for me has given me so much blessings. This was the year in which I graduated from college, and the year in which I have achieved one of my goals : being a Certified Public Accountant. There may have been ups and downs during the year but all of those made me stronger, all of those has made me thirst to do more in the coming year. I am thankful for the entire 2012, for what I have achieved and for what the Lord has given my family. MY 2013 NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTION Yes, like everyone else, I made a list of the resolutions that I would want to do for the entire year of 2013. So far I have written 8 resolutions, but I prefer to share 2 of them since most of it are so personal. 1. Exercise daily for 30 minutes.   In the middle of 2012 I have tried to fulfill this but I don't know what came into my mind that I have failed to continue with the routine. That's why I plan to get back in exercising again every morning. Exercising is not only for fat people but fo...

The title that I used above is taken from one of the statements that our parish priest have said during his homily on the 9th day of Simbang Gabi. True enough, this season was given in order to celebrate the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ. Earlier this day I watched Kris TV and on the last part of the show, Kris reminded everyone the true essence of this yuletide season and the fact that we should greet Jesus a happy birthday, because indeed this is a celebration of his birth. Some people have forgotten what should be the essence of this season; some of them think that this is just a break from a long tiring year of work, a season of exchanging gifts and vacations. What I am trying to say is that, there are lot people who thinks of Christmas in material terms. Say for example, my cousin, we gave her a gift but it's as if she did not appreciate it all because she wanted a different toy. In my time, a small gift or gifts like towels and other non-toys or non material are enough for...

  Simple gifts from my manita.   Lots of things has happened to me during the past year but I'll write more about that in my new year post. Anyhow, since December 16,2012 my yuletide season has began, why? It's because it is the first day of the nine mornings or in the Philippines it is referred to as "Simbang Gabi". Every year since I was in 4th year high school, it became our tradition to complete the nine days, almost every year I got to complete it all and make my wish. It's been said that once you complete the nine mornings, your wish will be granted, and so far, those wishes came true, but of course those wishes also needed my effort, it was therefore 50% effort (which in my own I give a 200% effort) and 50%divine intervention [for me]. Anyhow, this year I missed the 8th morning because I had a hard time getting up because I was not feeling well, but I still made my wish though. Hopefully, that wish would still be granted. ^^, Simple get-togethe...

Yes, it's been approximately 6 years that we haven't seen each other, but the long span of communicating with each other and not seeing each other did not drive us to breaking our friendship apart, in fact, this made our friendship stronger, as that's how it's supposed to work. Hoping in my next blog, I can post a pic with the other person whom I consider as a lifetime friend... ^^, can't wait! "Friendship is not measured on how often you see each other nor how often you communicate. Because friendship can never be measured by anything else this world." ~my realization

[6:10pm, Dec 17,2012] I'm actually writing this in the midst of a very irritating traffic since I really wanted to share this irritation in my blog later. You see, this is not the first time that I have encountered such an irritating traffic, BUT there is surely a common thing in these scenarios, and that's a not so planned event. How was I able to assess such? Well, there is an event for commemorating those who have died during Typhoon Sendong/Washi, and that's currently(at that time) the cause why there is a huge traffic in our city. I do respect those who have died, but can the city government respect the living as well? This commemoration should have been planned months before, now,  did they really planned it well? For, if they did, then shouldn't they have anticipated the traffic that will result in this event, shouldn't they have thought of a solution or a plan that should minimize all of this? Like what I said earlier, this is not the first time that this ...

I would just like to make this clear, I have not been into any relationships but I have my own strong view about it. "You cannot wholeheartedly give your love to the other person if you yourself do not love yourself". I know, you may have heard it somewhere, perhaps a book or a television drama, but isn't it the truth? My view in getting into a relationship is that you must seek to know yourself first, for then you'll finally learn to love your true self. Why? It's because getting into a relationship needs maturity, and I define maturity as going to higher level of thinking wherein you'll be ready for anything. Relationship isn't a game of tag wherein you'll find the man of dreams and poof you chase him and tag him and then he'll come to run for you. Unlike nowadays, a relationship should have been taken with much care and seriousness, that's my principle. And oh, don't even start bashing me about my own view, it may sound old-fashioned b...

O.O OH MY GOSH! finally, I was able to watch the second to the last episode of Gossip Girl, but man isn't it too ruthless?! BUT I sooo loved it. I just love how the old gang could help each other in times of need just like the old times, of course there's an addition to the gang and those are Ivy and Sage. I just love the schemes and manipulation even though it didn't turn out well. My heart started to beat faster when Chuck went inside the plane and that when Blair saw the news of the missing plane [it almost broke my heart]. Gladly, lonely boy wasn't that stupid enough to make a good introduction about Bart Bass and instead co-sided with Chuck, and I was sooo happy that Chuck wasn't dead. Of course, Nate went to prison since Bart have realized that he is doing a double agent stuff and so Bart exposed the fraud scheme N did in order to save the spectator. What amazes me in this part of the story was that Sage made an effort for Nate and his father to help out e...

Okay, first and foremost, even though that it's a cliche to say this but "we are all beautiful because we are all created by God" I truly believe in this statement which I have been hearing from a lot of people BUT sometimes we human beings tend to just look down on ourselves and to how other people looks like. Here's the thing, you cannot please all people with the way you look. Certain people have certain criteria on how they would judge how a person looks. There may be one place or a group of people which find fair-skin people to be beautiful or this one place may find a certain physique to be not so beautiful; I do hope you get the picture right. Anyhow, I'm writing this blog because I just realized something from a question that was raised by someone "What if he prefer to have a beautiful and sexy lady to assist him?" [the thought is there, but that's not the word for word statement] I just answered "I do not see myself or proclaim myself...

Have I ever shared to you that I consider a specific person to be so special? Well, probably not, because it was just days ago when I started writing in this blog. You see, he doesn't even know that I consider him special and all. Anyhow, he did something that made me smile today, and I can't help but keep on smiling. Sorry though, I can't share to you what he's done but it's actually indirectly, i.e. a random act that he did. Actually this is a one sided admiration, there, i said it. But it keeps me inspired though, so I think nothing is wrong with that. Right now, I am open to all other possibilities, like meeting someone different and having to end up with a different prince charming; but since that one true love has just yet stepped into my life, I think I'll stick around on admiring someone in order have an inspiration. ^^, everybody needs inspiration <3 <3 <3... P.S. Prince charming, I'm waiting for you... Don't be jealous ok? haha

Okay, first and foremost, I just finished watching the freaking episode 8 of GG's season 6. And ugggh i soooo hate Dan but well, it actually made me more excited on what's bound to happen. When I first watched this series, all I prayed for was for Dan and Serena to end up together, but thanks to the marvelous ideas of GG's writers, it changed. But it changed in a positive light, not every series has an out of this world twists and I believe that made this series soooooo much interesting. (Except for Season 5 though, I super hate the twists and unnecessary drama urrrrgh). And now I'm looking forward that Blair and Chuck would end up together and Serena would get a happy ending. I also want a devilish usual Upper East Side troubled ending but with no deaths and no cliffhangers.And how I wish Jenny would do a comeback and would be involved in the twisted end. After watching the 8th episode of the season finale, I hurriedly went looking for the episode 9 promo, wherein...

 [If you don't like Seohyuun and Yonghwa being paired, it's none of my business, but please do not bash this post. I'll respect your perspective so please respect mine also... okay? lovelots] It just came to my mind to share to you one of the things that I love in the whole wide world, and that is my addiction for the YongSeo couple. Never heard of them? C'mon! They are one of the virtual couples of We Got Married Season 2; it is a korean reality show wherein idols, actors and actresses are being paired up to become a married couple for some time (variety show purposes of course). Some are being paired according to the preferences given by the people who wants to be in the show and they would just mix and match (clothes???? nahhh). But the Yongseo couple is unique, they did not give their preferences as to whom they would want to be paired with, perhaps that is why they were paired up [a match made in heaven!!!<3]. The airdate of their episode was February 2...

disclaimer: I do not own this photo: credits to Dean Acabo     This is one of the not-so-good days of Cagayan de Oro, but this time, the whole city was prepared. It can be recalled that last year, our city was devasted by Tropical Storm Washi/Sendong, which killed over a thousand of people. Last year, the city was not prepared because, we usually do not experience being directly hit by a storm, perhaps I can say that we were not vigilant despite the warning that Misamis Oriental was already under signal #2. I can actually remember that the night wherein the storm hit Cagayan de Oro, I was still celebrating a christmas party with my barkada notwithstanding the strong winds, we even ate ice cream during that time. Then, when I woke up for the simbang gabi the next day, I was surprised reading text messages from my friends that the river already overflowed. And then news came out that many had died because of the flashflood. This year, well, the Kagay-anons were much p...

If you are reading this and you are used to the typical thanksgiving in the U.S., well it's not about that but it is similar to that in a way. Last October 6,7,13 and 14 2012, I took the Licensure Examination for Certified Public Accountant. The experience was full of ups and downs, especially to the fact that I was not doing that well during my review. My friends and my family knew that at that time I was frantic during the last month of review. i could not actually take a hold of myself because I was afraid that I may not make it. That time, spiritual help was all I ever wanted to ask for, I visited many churches and had priests to pray over: that was the moment that I really felt that I was sooo religious. Aside from which, even though I have failed many times in my review, I did not get discouraged, because I know that God will put me in the right place in His time and that a lot of people believes in me (which made me more nervous). October 15 2012 was the moment of truth....

Earlier this day, I decided to make a new blog where I can share my thoughts and my life experiences. Much to my surprise, I discovered that I created a blog when I was still in high school and saw my post from back then. I haven't remembered about this though but I'm pretty sure that I still agree to the post I created back then... *p.s. I have already deleted my old blog site. Real Friends makes life a paradise... (edited) Friends... the first thing that comes to your mind is an acquaintance or a comrade.. He/she will be there to fight with you over things.. go with you in the mall, in the park and do the things you want to do together, but let us face it, though we had our acquaintances with them, it does not mean that they are true to us. Our every day acquaintances with them does not make an assurance that they would not back bite us or stab us at the back. Sometimes the least person you thought you could make friends to might be the one who could really app...
