Anything Goes

Home at last

2008-09-04T00:50:00.000-07:00

I've been away from home for almost two months.. Finally I'm home and it feels really good. :)

I have lots of things to do and accomplish - (some documents needed for my employment).

Visit my dentist. My friends.

Too bad I need to be back on Sunday.

New Begining

2008-09-01T00:32:00.000-07:00

September already and what a way to start the Month. A good news perhaps!

At last.. finally got it.. Thank God.. After months of searching finally I got a job. I still need to accomplish some things before I can start my work.. Lots of stuffs needed..

What do I feel? Well mixed emotion, but one thing is for sure, at least I have a job and its a stable company. What do I expect? I don't know, but things would be different and everything would be new to me. I need to learn and hopefully to adjust well. I can't wait to start, for I really miss working. Looking forward to meet new friends and colleagues.

The Half Blood Prince

2008-08-26T22:52:00.000-07:00

2008-08-11T02:27:00.000-07:00

I'm quite busy with a lot of stuffs - most especially looking for a job - a stable and better job. With that I haven't able to post a thing on this site for a long time, and it really sadden me a lot. I miss writing and doing blog hopping.. I know I'll have my time for that again soon. For the meantime, I'll leave you guys with this one. One of my favorites :

A month of searching

2008-08-08T01:04:00.000-07:00

It's been almost a month of searching... Hopping and praying that I'll find one.. I guess that's really a part of life, where one's patience and faith is being tested.

I know whatever happens, I will always be Okay and able to surpass whatever circumstances I may face.
This is a time where I really have to think and make a decision that will make or break my future.

And its really a difficult thing to do. *sighs*

Want some drink?

2008-08-02T00:30:00.000-07:00

I spend my weekends with my Tita and Tito's house. Eating and sleeping is what we do. Food and drinks is our buddy + a dose of sleep + chit - chats = a great weekend.

The Unforgettable Weekend

2008-07-26T00:18:00.000-07:00

I've been searching for a job almost everyday. A bit tiring and and really exhausting. *sighs* Plus I'm away from home. I miss a lot of things, but I'm happy that I have special people here with me. I have weekends to look forward to. hehe.

Anyways, here are some pics taken during weekends:

2008-07-21T00:45:00.001-07:00

My apologies again… I really have a hard time to update this blog, and which really make me sad and missed a lot. As you all know I’m still looking for a new job. Well it’s been almost a month since a lost my job. So far I’ve been doing a lot of interviews and exams – and waiting for feedbacks. Well I’m just hoping I’ll find one soon.. I miss working…

I really hate spending time on a net café, for I have a very limited time (really expensive; I miss my pc).

Anyways to all Link Exchange – I’ll get back to you soon as I have time to check and visit your site; please do bear with me thanks.

Got to go..

*how I wish I can do blog hopping… *sighs*

Officially Jobless

2008-06-19T09:24:00.000-07:00

Yeah you heard it right.. I’m officially jobless…

Things happened so fast.. right at this moment I’m unemployed..

Totally ~~sucks~~… but then I guess that’s LIFE…

Boracay Count Down

2008-06-16T23:01:00.000-07:00

Five days to go, five more days of sleep and I’m off to Boracay. Wow! I’ll be with my officemates/friends. Time flies really fast. I can still remember how impulsive we are and decided to buy/book a ticket, with no place or itinerary in mind. Yeah that’s how excited we are to have a vacation.

Am I ready? Hmmm.. I don’t know.. hehe. I have lots of things to prepare - my bags, clothes, money (for shopping and food, hehe) and others.

But what I’m really looking forward is the travel and time to relax and enjoy. I look forward seeing the sunset, breathing the cool breeze of the sea, white sand, food and of course lots of pictures.

I’m counting down the days… More stories and picture soon.. promise

Cheers to stress-free days…

Sunday’s Celebrations

2008-06-15T21:00:00.000-07:00

June 15 is surely a date of celebrations.. First, it’s a Sunday, so to most people it’s a rest day as well as family day. But this year is more special since we also celebrates fathers day.

So may heartfelt greetings to all Dads’ in the world.

How did we celebrate it? We cook lots of food and spend the day together. The menu: for breakfast we had bread (courtesy of my tita’s bakery), ham,bacon and egg, coffee and milk. For our lunch: mom and I cook somai, baked squid (c/o my sis), beef steak and grilled tilapia. We also had spaghetti for snack. We had soup and squid and pork for dinner. As for desert we had some peaches and gelatin. Wow as in lots of food. Food is love! Too bad my dad can’t eat well, but was really happy that day. Again Happy Father’s day Dad! Mwahh. Get well soon.

Another reason to celebrate – its Glady’s and Franc’s birthday.

(me and Glady Girl)

Glady – Who’s Glady? Glady is: Senadora of Marketing Dept, Glady girl to some, ate Glad, Glad, housemate, roommate a few words you can associate to her. One thing is for sure she’s a good friend.. *wink* She’s now celebrating her __ birthday, oppz I forgot her age, maybe you can ask her and visit her site to know her more at Glady Girl (I might not able to do my work if I’ll keep on talking, space may not be enough, hehe) Anyways, happy happy birthday Glad, by the way have you open the site that I gave you, it’s my gift,heheh..

Franc – one of the sweetest cousin I have. He’s really caring and thoughtful. Whenever he visits us, he sees to it that we all have a great time and spend quality time together. We may seldom see each other but then we’re really close. Happy Birthday Aco!!!!

It’s feels good to celebrate.. A simple and intimate celebrations with the loved ones is great and a moment to treasure.

The Art of Lying

2008-06-11T01:50:00.000-07:00

My mind is pre-occupied with a lot of things – but I’m too lazy to write it/blog it.

Anyways, I’ve been thinking over things lately, and my head is spinning.. Gosh! How I hate it!
Suddenly, the word Lying came up. I don’t know what got into me and thought of that word. Hehe. Then lots of things/queries came. The kinds of lies, is there good in lying or how can you tell if someone is lying and etc.

Lying? Why do people lie? It’s really a wide/broad topic to discuss with. I for one doesn’t know where to start and how. Hehe.

Lies – To make a statement that one knows to be false, especially with the intend to deceive; To give a false impression; Anything that gives or is meant to give a false impression.

Kinds of Lies:

White lie - would cause no discord if it were uncovered and offers some benefit to the liar, the hearer, or both. used to avoid offense.
Bald-faced lie - a lie that is told when it is obvious to all concerned that it is a lie.
Lies of Omission - omitting an important fact, deliberately leaving another person with a misconception.
Lie-to-children - a lie that is told to make an adult subject acceptable to children.
Emergency lie - a strategic lie told when the truth may not be told because, for example, harm to a third party would come of it.
Perjury - act of lying or making verifiably false statements on a material matter under oath or affirmation in a court of law or in any of various sworn statements in writing.
Misleading - one where there isn't an outright lie, but still has the purpose of making someone believe in an untruth.
Exaggeration - occurs when the most fundamental aspect(s) of a statement is true, but the degree to which it is true is not correct.

Basic tell-tell signs:

1. Speaking quickly and excessive fluctuations in pitch of voice
2. Person becomes fidgety and hesitant when questioned on detail
3. Failure to make eye-contact

Check list to spot those tellers of tales:

Watch out for long pauses and stutters usually accompanied by slow speech
Less frequent mention of specifics such as place names, times, locationsA lie usually has more structure as the liar attempts to overcompensate by telling events in sequential or chronological order
Unnecessary finger pointing, nervous foot tapping, or exaggerated facial expressions of being falsely accused, are all common indicators.
A lie usually has more structure as the liar attempts to overcompensate by telling events in sequential or chronological order
The emotion conveyed in the lie should be consistent with facial expression, any slight inconsistencies usually indicate a falsehood
Liars often behave abnormally due to the added pressure of trying to convincingly lie, look out for signs of mental weariness and emotional strain as the lie progresses

"Tell a lie often enough, loud enough, and long enough and people will believe you."

A lie is not in the words, or lack of words; it's in the intention of the deceiver.

Friends of Mine

2008-06-10T19:55:00.000-07:00

I have loots of friends – and really love them dearly. I haven’t spoke to some of them for years but really care for them a lot. I miss the times we’ve spend together laughing, crying to non-sense things even our little arguments. We’ll there’s no such perfect friendship.. There are times that friendship is put on a test. It really depends - how you friends handle such situation. I am so glad and thankful that though there are little differences and issues my friends and I encounter, we’re able to survive it and made the best out of it. We’re able to build a strong bond between us that no matter what happens in our way, we’ll always be friends and accept things the way it is.

Friends.. Its really good to have friends.. Lucky me to have Friends to cry on, to talk with or just knowing that you have a company even without uttering words.

Anyways, while cleaning up some stuff on my table, I found a CD – wondering what’s in it – I tried it – and found out that it was a collection of pictures and videos of my friends for the past years. It really melts my heart seeing those pictures and remembering the good times we had before. I really miss them.. (We’re all busy with our life now and we only see/gather if there’s an occasion.)

Miss you guys and looking forward spending more quality time together again soon. Meanwhile this song really meant a lot to us:

Count on Me

Chorus]

Count on me through think and thin
A friendship I will never end
When you are weak, I will be strong
Helping you to carry on
Call on me, I will be there
Don't be afraid
Please believe me when I say
Count on...

[Verse1]
I can see it's hurting you
I can feel the pain
It's hard to see the sunshine though the rain
I know sometimes it seems as if
It's never gonna end
But you'll get through it
Just don't give in cause you can...

[chorus]

[Verse2]
I know sometimes it seems as if
We're standing all alone
But we'll get though it
Cause love won't let us fall

[chorus]

There's a place inside of all of us
Where our faith in love begins
You should reach to find the truth in love
The answers there within, oh
I know that life can make you feel
It's much harder than it really is
But we'll get through it
Just don't give in

[chorus]

Whitney: count on
Ce Ce: Count on
Whitney: Count on
Ce Ce: Count on
Whitney: Count on
Ce Ce: Count on
Both: meeeeeeeee
Whitney: oh yes you can
Ce ce: no i can't
Whitney: Sure you can
Ce Ce: Oh yeah
Whitney: so glad i can
Ce Ce: Count on me
Whitney: Count on me Baby

Friendships Rocks!!!

Happy Blog-day to Me!!

2008-06-09T18:06:00.000-07:00

(a gift given by Glady girl, thanks a lot!)

Happy 1^st year anniversary to my Blog!

I still remember my first post – really don’t have an idea on what to post. Hehe. I’m really proud/ happy to have this blog of mine. This is my way of expressing myself. It has become my outlet whenever I feel sad, hurt or my ~~non-sense stories~~, rants and been part of every celebration I had over the year.

What made me write a blog? Why iluvhubbes? Why anything goes?

I don’t know, hehe. I was inspired to blog partly because of my job – one of my tasks before was blog comenting – so I said why not try blogging. So got myself a blogger account and the rest is history.

I can’t think of a name at that time. My creativity ~~sucks~~. I wanted it something unique or something nice. A lot of names came up into my mind but I’m not sure if it fits. (ang arte).

Then I remember something… and came up with – iluvhubbes.

Anything Goes – can’t think of a better title at that time and really can’t decide on what topic to write about, so I settled with Anything Goes as my title. True enough, my blog is kinda random when it comes to post – work, life, travel, rants and just about anything.

Its really nice to celebrate… and wishing many more blog writing years to come as well as off and online friends to meet..

Thanks everyone, especially my blog visitor (well assuming I have readers!).

Silver Wedding Anniversary

Today marks the 25^th wedding anniversary of my parents. Wow! It’s a memorable day not only to my mom and dad, but to us – their daughters. (naks!)

Dear mom and dad:

Anyways I love you mom and dad! I can tell the world and the whole blogsphere that I’ve been blessed with wonderful and loving parents.. I’m really proud of you both.

I love you! Cheers to 25 years and to the coming years together…

Love,

Ritz

Anyways before I make emo-mode and teary-eye, am gonna stop my open-letter to my parents.. eheh..

Days before my parents anniversary, my sister and I are thinking of what to do on this special day. Since we ran out of ideas, we ended up treating them at a resto. We had our dinner at South Ocean Villa. It was really an intimate dinner party. It was simple, sumptuous food (loveit! No diet for me,lolz)

It was really a good night and a celebration worth remembering.

June-na!!

Too much kindness will kill

2008-05-31T21:19:00.000-07:00

Saturday again.. hehe.. How I hate this day..lolz. Well, basically Saturdays here means reports day.. so that’s lots a checking of stuffs and calculating.. anyway, enough of this rants..

I’ve been thinking of what to blog.. There are lots of things in mind but I ~~don’t know~~ or I’m not that in the mood to write it out. Haha (ang labo ko noh.) until a friend and I chatted..

Sab my ever dearest friend.. Well, if you’re a reader of this blog (well, assuming I have,haha) I’ve mentioned her name a couple of times in my previous post.. Anyways, we had a usual conversation a while ago.. Hi and Hello.. Musta? (how are you?) and other stuffs normal friends ask.. Anyways, this is not her lucky day.. She’s really pissed off.. To whom? Why? - to her friend (X friend, ahaha) .. whaat? Yeah, well she’s doing X friend a favor.. Sab known as friendly and “matulungin” and all (naks! pa cheese burger ka Sab) agreed to help her. She’s really trying her best to help X friend.. instead being grateful and thankful for all the help Saab had given her, X friend does all this “inarte mode” (~~what the…~~). Poor Sab… She's really sad and upset.. I can feel that..

My advise – “~~sabunutan mo para tumino”~~ haha,, masyado kung nice noh, hehe.. Well, nakaka inis lang kasi na your helping her na nga pero anu.. Haiz, Sab, sometimes too much kindness will kill… as in.. Well, I don’t have a right to make “saw-saw” sa away nila, kaya lang super asar lang ako sa mga taong d marunong mag-appreciate or say thank you..

*to be continue*

Just Asking…

2008-05-29T22:06:00.000-07:00

How do you know how much is too much?

Think… think.. think..

.. just another ~~non-sense~~ post.. hehe.. Anyhow, let me know what yeah think???

Meanwhile, need to get back to work first.. (oh, well time for reports again, geezh)

Missing Again?!?

2008-05-27T18:47:00.000-07:00

A couple of months ago, I’ve written something about missing barbeque.. Well too bad it happened again.. Yes, you heard it right.. The food is missing again – for the second time!!.. *sighs* I’m having second thoughts on leaving the food on the table but then I still left it.. When its time for us to eat, to our surprise the food was gone and the table is a mess. I don’t know if there’s a jinx or something.. but every time we want to eat – something bad happens.. (it sucks!), especially now that I’m on a tight budget. Gosh! What a day! So we ended up buying another food.. What a waste of money.. How I wish it wouldn’t happen again – or else I’m not going to buy BBQ fo the rest of my life (haha.. it’s my favorite pa naman). Oops, kinda exaggerated.. hehe..

Moral story: Trust your instinct.

On a lighter note: I had a chance to chat with some of my colleagues back in college. It’s really nice to talk to them (YM chat).

I’m also counting down the days – Few more sleep to go and I’m off to my escapade.. Really excited about it, though I’m kinda worried on my finances, haha.. so if anyone willing to give me some extra money as for my “baon” it’ll be appreciated. Hehe.

Random - Updates

2008-05-26T23:41:00.000-07:00

Sorry this post is kinda long, hehe.. Blog mode… :)

Saturday - I went home early. Why? – to see my dearest friend Ging. Well, we haven’t seen each other say almost a year or two, though we have communication thru sms/ text messages (not everyday, though). We only have half an hour talking, yeah too bad we had a little time to chat and catch things up. As in we really miss each other company. She’s one of the closest and cool friend I have ( as in she knows everything, v.v., hehe ). *sighs* How I miss the old days – we’ll be talking over the phone for more than an hour during late nights, laugh at each others joke, cry over things, do some stuffs.. (*sob). It was great to see her and mike. It’s kinda sad that she had to leave but then I know we’ll gonna see each other pa naman, hopefully soon (hehe). Anyways, I really wish them good luck, I know with God’s help, all plans will succeed. I’ll be praying for that. (guys, don’t forget the pasalubong and “ampon thing”, hehe)

I watched the Forbidden Kingdom together with my dad and siblings. It was a great movie. I miss mom (hope to see her soon, as well as my pasalubongs,heheh)

Sunday – Wake up late. Lazy day. Hehe. Super noisy, because of the sound system. There’s an event in our street, - a Mass and prayers then followed by games and dances.

I and my couz Che went shopping for some school supplies. We’ll be giving it out to some selected students; it’s our way of helping/reaching out to less fortunate kids, with the help of the Carmelites sisters. It really feels good to help even in the simplest way.. Anyways, more of that later.

Monday – A rest day for me, but not really a rest day. I wake up early and get dressed. My sister wants some company, so I have no choice but to join her. We went with our dad then dropped at the mall. We paid her bills and meet up our cousin Tin. Strolled and window shop, hehe. Then had our lunch courtesy of my sis (the food was great, it’s free kasi,eh). My cousin got a new blouse, I bought a mug and some pooh items and my sis got her Gossip Girl book 4 and 5. By 3pm my younger sis join us at a coffee shop (c/o my sis again) then later we transferred at McDo to grab some fries. Had some chit-chats while waiting for dad. Dropped by at my cousin house then went home. Since mom is not around, I’m in-charge with the kitchen. I’m the chef, (hehe,yabang noh, kidding aside, I really love to cook). After dinner, my mom called, she’s staying at my cousin house and cuddling my nephew (oh how I miss him, wish to see him soon.) It was really tiring day for me at the same time fun. One thing I missed doing this weekend? – visit my dentist (hopefully,next week)!

Need some help and opinion

2008-05-22T22:01:00.000-07:00

I want a new look for my blog.. I have lots of ideas – but I can’t really decide on what to do.. (labo ko noh! Heheh)

I really wish I had the time (lots of paper works at the office *sighs*) and be able to get my blog a new look.. something fresh and unique..

Anyways, maybe you guys can help me with this.. hehe.. I would really appreciate it..

Thanks!

Me Busy as a Bee

2008-05-18T19:57:00.000-07:00

Busy as a bee these past days.. That’s why I haven’t updated this blog for a while.

Glad to be back. Hopefully to write more post soon.

Anyways, just want to share what’s keeping me busy:

- I attended a two-day “Leadership Training Workshop”. (kinda tiring, enlightening (lots of new stuffs learned, especially on handling members/subordinates), fun (because of the games)

- Team Building at Pitogo Beach Resort, Sorsogon last Saturday (over night; I'll be uploading pictures soon)

- Uncle Lito’s Birthday party ( lots of food, I forgot my diet, lolz)

Crazy Monday

2008-05-12T01:14:00.000-07:00

What a way to start the week..

I know for a fact that Monday (May12) there would be a national transport strike, but then I wake up early and get dressed for office. Thinking that I can have a ride, since the past “strike” there is still buses and jeeps that don’t participate in said activity. I guess it wasn’t my luck. After minutes of waiting - NONE! (as in wala) so I decided to go home.

Plan B. I’ll go with my dad. Too bad, his driver was on leave, so he also needs to commute. Wheew!

Plan C. We’ll use our car, (well, my mom usually the one who use it and bring to her office). But the problem is – who’s gonna drive? We tried to call my cousin but he’s not available. *sighs*

I decided not to go to work. Hehe. Online at home, to check some stuffs. My dad called one of his and gives him a ride (It was around 11am).

Really sleepy… Read book ( Gossip Girl, Love it!) Cook and Eat Lunch.

After eating and washing the dishes, I went to sleep.. heheh Really good to have enough sleep.

After waking up, ate cake (black forest) and ice cream (double dutch). Yum.

Prepared dinner. I’m the chef for the day. Hehe..

Wash the dishes again. Watched TV

Sleep-over my aunt house. Cousin Che and I ate some chips and drink ice tea. More chit-chats.. and finally fall asleep.. zzzzzzzz

T.G.I.S

Thank God it’s Saturday! Yehey!

It’s rest day again. A week of tiresome work (doing reports, checking of task, etc). It really feels good to have a rest and away from stress. Wheew! Am I complaining? Hehe.. I guess this is life and need to accept whatever comes my way.. Haha.. Am I starting to talk and say non-sense things again – and for that forgive me, hehe (well, anyways, this my blog I guess I have all the right whatever I want to write or say. Hehe) I really dunno what gotten to me, maybe am just happy (dunno if its the right term to describe whatever feeling I have right now (weirdo!) ) that I'll have some time off. hehe.. I guess I have to stop my non-sense post here..

Anyways, just wanna say Happy Weekends everyone! Happy Mother's day to all mothers!!!

Mother's Day

2008-05-08T00:53:00.000-07:00

It's Mother's day on Sunday (May 11). Let me take this opportunity to greet all mothers around the globe Happy Mother's Day!!!

Any plans for Sunday?

Well, we have no plans yet. We are thinking of what gift can we give to our mother dear, but haven't decided yet or maybe we'll just have dinner at home or at a restaurant. (hehe)

How about you guys? Do you have plans? Any ideas?

May 1st

2008-05-01T17:29:00.000-07:00

First of May! a new month and its a holiday! May 1 - is Labor day.. so its a rest day for everyone.

I stayed home together with my cousins. We "pig-out" (as in kain to the max) also enjoyed singing (yahoo, thanks sa magic sing, hehe)

Bora - wait for me!!!

2008-04-30T21:02:00.000-07:00

A month to go before my Bora trip. Yes! at long last.. (already booked a ticket, hehe)

I'm really excited about this trip. I really need some time off - from stress, work, and lots of things. Vacation from a far place like Boracay will definitely be a great one.

Anyways, got to go. Work mode first, ( need to earn some bread, lots of expenses to come, hehe).

more posts later..

Thank God!

2008-04-28T16:54:00.000-07:00

Thank God!

There are lots of reason why to thank the Lord. Each morning that I wake up - is a reason to be grateful and thank God for a new day here on earth. For all the blessings that He had bestowed upon me and my family.

Anyways, my Mom and Dad are back. After several tests, the result is negative, so there is nothing to worry about. Thanks God! Though there are still medicines that my Dad needs to take and foods to avoid, at least he's okay.

Fun Facts: Pooh

2008-04-26T23:27:00.000-07:00

(here are some fun facts about pooh
c/o glady girl)

Winnie the Pooh - I love!!!! (as in super LOVE!!) hehe.. I've been collecting stuffs for ages (heheh). Whenever I see Pooh stuffs, I really buy (not unless I don't have an extra money). It's kinda "expensive" habit, but the happiness it brings can't be measured (naks!).

Random thoughts

2008-04-25T01:30:00.000-07:00

Busy day for me. (hehe)

* work (some changes in daily tasks; need to double time since its already month-end).
* as usual I keep on surfing the net (the whole day)

***
anyways, my Mom and Dad went to Manila, yesterday. Dad will have some tests at the hospital (check-up). For several weeks now he's been suffering severe pain due to trigeminal neuralgia. The doctor said it'll be good to undergo further tests such as MRI and other lab test to be sure.

Really hoping that everything will be okay.

Grey's Anatomy is Back!!!

2008-04-24T02:26:00.000-07:00

I can't wait to see the new episodes of Grey's Anatomy..

The show has been on hiatus since the writers strike..

It's really good that it'll be airing again..

Can't wait to see Mc Dreamy and Meridith and of course the rest of the cast.

While waiting for the new episode, I bump on this quiz.. Really had fun answering them.. You might want to give it a shot, too.. (hehe)

(just click the image for the quiz, Good luck!)

Earth Day

2008-04-23T02:20:00.000-07:00

Super sleepy.. Stay-up late last night..
watched the An Inconvenient Truth on HBO. Really nice and informative...

more info about that later on...

back to work, first. (hehe)

Why???

2008-04-17T00:57:00.000-07:00

Why?

*sighs*

I really don't know what's with me these days.

*cant sleep well
*worried ( about lots of things)
*upset
*stressed??
*depressed???

Why?

it could be that there are lots of things in my mind.. don't know where to start. lots of things needs to be done, to think and come up with something..

but then... why....

really weird... (i can't even think of a term to use... *sighs*)

WHY? I don't know WHY?

***
i wish i know some sort of spell or charm to make things easy... hehe.. as if!!!

Go or not to Go....

have to think....

Love... Love...

2008-04-08T02:11:00.000-07:00

Love? hmmm... A word with lots of meaning..

Love Visual DNA one way of unlocking your heart and gives some interesting insights.

I took the test and here's the result:

its only a test.. some might be true others might not..

Mom's birthday

2008-04-04T10:00:00.000-07:00

My mom is celebrating her birthday, today. Happy birthday mom!! Some relatives and closest friends will be joining us later at dinner. I 'm really excited to see them and I'm sure it will be great and fun.

** updates later** work mode first

What's with the name...

2008-03-30T23:44:00.000-07:00

While surfing the net I bumped on this one and tried it...

What Rita Fe Means

You are wild, crazy, and a huge rebel. You're always up to something.

You have a ton of energy, and most people can't handle you. You're very intense.

You definitely are a handful, and you're likely to get in trouble. But your kind of trouble is a lot of fun.

You tend to be pretty tightly wound. It's easy to get you excited... which can be a good or bad thing.

You have a lot of enthusiasm, but it fades rather quickly. You don't stick with any one thing for very long.

You have the drive to accomplish a lot in a short amount of time. Your biggest problem is making sure you finish the projects you start.

You are a seeker. You often find yourself restless - and you have a lot of questions about life.

You tend to travel often, to fairly random locations. You're most comfortable when you're far away from home.

You are quite passionate and easily tempted. Your impulses sometimes get you into trouble.

You are usually the best at everything ... you strive for perfection.

You are confident, authoritative, and aggressive.

You have the classic "Type A" personality.

You are loving, compassionate, and ruled by your feelings.

You are able to be a foundation for other people... but you still know how to have fun.

Sometimes your emotions weigh you down, but you generally feel free from them.

You are friendly, charming, and warm. You get along with almost everyone.

You work hard not to rock the boat. Your easy going attitude brings people together.

At times, you can be a little flaky and irresponsible. But for the important things, you pull it together.

What's Your Name's Hidden Meaning?

Latest Winnie the Pooh Stuffs

2008-03-22T23:09:00.001-07:00

I started collecting winnie the Pooh stuffs back in high school (as in super tagal na). If you'll ask me why Pooh? I really don't know.. hehe.. He's really cute and if I see stuffs it really makes me feel happy. Whenever I'm depressed, tingnan ko lang si pooh okay na ako. Pangpa-alis din ng stress. hehe. It's kinda weird that at my age I'm still fond of collecting these stuffs. Sbi nga ng iba, hay naku Taritz, isip bata ka talaga.

Lately, super happy ako. Why? Simply because na dagdagan na naman ang collection ko. Really can't explain ung feeling once nakikita na my new Pooh item ako. (smile over my face).

Latest addition sa collection ko:

Pillow - bought it after I recieved my salary(*increase*).,hehe)

Wrist watch - my gift to myself (as my treat,sa lahat ng hardwork,haha)

Alarm clock - a pasalubong from Glady girl (the color changes,music is beautiful)(Thanks!)

then, I just got this stuffs last night:

small Winnie the Pooh, keychain (pooh and friends) and cell phone accessories - care of Jonah
(stuffs from Disneyland, dapat nga my picture pa ni pooh, kaya lang for printing pa daw)*sighs*
(Thanks really love it! )

Till when ako maga collect? I really don't know.. hehe.. as for now I'm really happy everytime na my new stuffs ako.

Pooh is everything.. haha as in I really really love Pooh :) Love him talaga super...as in..

so happy..

Handwriting

2008-03-15T00:33:00.000-07:00

Handwriting. Do I still know how to write? Lolz. Pen and paper are now seldom used. Why would you bother using it when you can directly write using your laptop or pc? hehe

Anyways, I'm kinda bored checking stuffs (hehe) so I went on surfing, hoping to find something interesting. I bump on this site and tried it.

Here's the result:

You plan ahead, and are interested in beauty, design, outward appearance, and symmetry.
You are a person who thinks before acting, intelligent and thorough.
You are affectionate, passionate, expressive, and future-oriented.
You are a talkative person, maybe even a busybody!
You enjoy life in your own way and do not depend on the opinions of others.

What does your handwriting say about YOU?

Looking Forward...

2008-03-14T01:03:00.000-07:00

Looking forward with lots of things.

Holy Week again, next week. Any plans? hmmm...

- Well, the Web Marketing Dept is planning to have an early summer get away on Thursday (March20) in Sorsogon.

- Tito Popz and Tita Dette will be arriving this Sunday as well as Tita Jeanette and Nikki
- Some of my high school friends will also be home ( I can't wait to see them )

I'm very busy. As in busy.

Training on Link Building

2008-03-03T01:18:00.000-08:00

Monday was supposedly a rest day for me. But today is an exception. I'll be at the office. Why? - Training on Link Building. The said training will tackle on different Link building strategies, the Do's and Don'ts and some basic HTML usage.

** update
On my way to the office, it was raining. There was no bus, when I got to the bus station. I had to ride by a jeep. *sighs* I was a bit worried, the rain is non-stop and might have flood again. Thank God I wasn't late (I had to ride on a tricy and paid 15 bucks, duh!) and it was a safe trip.

The Truth Is...

2008-03-02T00:01:00.000-08:00

... sometimes things turns out not the way we want..
... it HURTS..
... sometimes hard to accept but we must..

and its true..

First Day of the Month

2008-03-01T04:45:00.000-08:00

Time flies so fast - it's March once again. First day of the month.

What's new? Nothing!!

My tummy still hurts, as in teribly bad that I haven't able to work well. It's the start of a new task. Time to do all the reports. *sighs*

Anyways, I really hope I'll feel better soon.. :(

On a lighter note, I bought some "pasalubong" to my beloved pamangkin.
It's really good to see him..

Bad Day

2008-02-28T22:16:00.000-08:00

What a bad day!!!

* My tummy still hurts
* Headache (maybe because I don't have my glasses, I left it at home)
* Things turned out not the way I expected it..

I really feel bad at this moment.. If only I could scream, forget all this things and pretend that "things" never happened..

Oh well, I think that's part of life.. either good or bad..

Wish I'll have a better day tomorrow..

Love Tarot

2008-02-27T09:00:00.000-08:00

I'm busy with work, but I took time to take the Love Tarot test that Glady send me. Here's the result.

COMMUNICATION - The Empress THE EMPRESS AND COMMUNICATION: You have an ability that very few people have. You know how to express what you feel, you have persuasive power and for that reason you'll exert an important influence on people. You are sensitive; you are willing to listen and help with whatever you can. Channel this gift, write a book. It will be a success!

THE PARTNER - Temperance TEMPERANCE AND THE PARTNER: This is an excellent period for you. A balance between sex appeal and a spiritual correspondence will enrich and strengthen your relationship with your partner, making it stable and lasting. Communication, commitment and cooperation are important. Don't forget that you are now like a team. Everything will be possible if you both make an effort.

LOVE - The Fool THE FOOL AND LOVE: You're full of energy. Enjoy every minute and don't try to be ahead of the circumstances for fear of being wasting the future. You'll probably find love. You loving somebody means that someone has the right to love you. Let him do that.

THE PRESENT - Judgement JUDGMENT: Devote some time to yourself and discover who you are. Give up everything that is not necessary to achieve happiness. This is about leaving behind the frivolities and banalities of your life. You have to find the path that will help you find a place where you feel comfortable and happy. You'll have to make an effort to be able to do better but you can do it.!

DREAMS - The Magician THE MAGICIAN AND DREAMS: Dreams and reality mingle, confusing you, making you have one of the best times ever. Enjoy as much as you can this situation but remember that some day you'll wake up and those experiences that you've lived will be learning experiences that will strengthen you.

FRIENDSHIP - The World THE WORLD AND FRIENDSHIP: A new cycle begins and all those friends who have not grown as you will be left behind. Don't be sorry for that; it is the best thing that could happen. In the end, you'll see that what remains is the best. New friends that will cause you happiness will appear.

SEX - The Devil THE DEVIL AND SEX: Undoubtedly, this will be a favorable period to improve your most intimate loving relationships. It's very likely that your sexual activity will increase not only with your partner but also with a lover. There are high chances that people you find irresistible will SHOW up and they’ll make you live an experience of excessive pleasure. Even though you may enjoy this, it can bring about problems that could damage your future love life.

What can I say? Well, some things are quite true, but then again its only a test.. Anyways, you might want to try it.. hehehe

Tummy Hurts

2008-02-26T15:02:00.000-08:00

I'm not feeling well.. My tummy really hurts. All I want is to lie on my bed and have a rest. Too bad I'm working right now. I drink some meds, it won't help.. I really don't know what to do. It feels really bad, that I want to cry..

I wish I know a spell to ease this pain.. (hehe, as if).

Anyways, I have to get back to work.

Babysitting

2008-02-24T22:33:00.000-08:00

Sad..

2008-02-23T09:04:00.000-08:00

The wrapper contains different beautiful messages... Here are some of those promise messages:

Happiness is sharing chocolate with a friend.
Take a moment to appreciate the brilliance of Autumn colors.
Sit in your vineyard and watch the leaves fall.

Chocolates really brighten my day, and having read this messages is a bonus..

Some more chocolates, please..

Heart's Day

2008-02-15T20:54:00.000-08:00

Happy Valentine's Day to all! Lovers, loveless, whatever... hehehe

Well, how did I celebrate this day? As usual nothing really special happened.. *sighs* I went to work. Greeted my friends through sms and email.

After work my colleagues and I went to Ces boarding house, to celebrate Seth Jarred's first month birthday. The food was really good, too bad I can't eat well (because of my braces ).

I guess, it doesn't matter if you have a "significant other" to celebrate this day. What's important is that you share every occasion with those whom you love and loves you.. (naks!)

Till next valentine's day..

Valentine's Day!

2008-02-13T22:23:00.000-08:00

Feb 14, everyone seems to be excited on this day.. Its Valentine's Day! Flowers, chocolates, dinner for two, gifts, etc.. are some of the things comes to mind..

Well, as for me, its really just another ordinary day.. hehe.. Maybe because I don't have any "special someone" to spend the day with.. (haha..) I'll be working as usual. After work - maybe stroll at the mall and have some dinner together with friends..

Karma

2007-11-06T22:48:00.000-08:00

Karma.. its a word used by many of us.. but what is really Karma? Well, everyone has its on perception of what Karma is..

Anyways, I'll write about it later.. Meanwhile, Glady gave me this truelifekarma.. It has some questions and at end you'll find the result.. I've tried it and here's my Karma Test result...

TrueLifeKarma.com - Online Karma Test Click Here!

rita, Your Karmic Alignment is: Zen Intuition!

Score: 16 You have a direct perception of truth. You are very keen and don't use it to take advantage. When you commit positive deeds, you don't do them to get ahead, you do positive deeds simply because it makes you feel good. Your intentions are almost always meant well and all this positive karmaic energy is bound to come back to you in a great way!

Its only a test.. You judge!! So how about yours? Good or Bad Karma?

Forgive and Forget

2007-11-05T21:36:00.000-08:00

Forgive and forget. That’s what they say. It’s good advice, but it’s not very practical. When someone hurts us, we want to hurt them back. When someone wrongs us, we want to be right. Without forgiveness, old scores are never settled… old wounds never heal. And the most we can hope for, is that one day we’ll be lucky enough to forget.

Happy Halloween!!!

A fine Day

2007-10-10T01:29:00.000-07:00

Yesterday was a good day! :) I've finished my task ahead of time (actually, not much work to do, hehe). Net surfing, checking mails, friendster, etc..

I've chatted with my friends. Anne, quite busy with her work, showed me some pictures of his son (cute baby, mana sa mommy! :) ). I also talked to MG, really hope to see him soon. Some of my high school friends will be coming home on Christmas, I'm sure there would be lots of "gimmiks" and Food trip - is on our top list (hehe).

After work, Glady and I went to Quick & Hearty, to attend a meeting on our newly found "sideline" ( some kinda business minded, kuno! hehe). My roommates Miriam and Celine was also in attendance. Gladz, Miriam and I got some souviners. :) Too bad Celine got nothing. (Well, teacher needs to review, hehe). Afterwards, we went to Chick'n, have our dinner. Well, its a sort of advance birthday celeb.

New Month - October!!

2007-10-02T00:46:00.000-07:00

Oct 1 is Belle's birthday! (my sis best friend). Her plan was to celebrate it with us, but due to some reasons, the plan was canceled. But she promised to surprise us soon. ( I really don't know when she's coming, but so excited to see this gal, hehe..)

It was also Tin's first day of work. Well, finally, after long talk and some chit-chat, we're able to convinced her to accept the job. Well, its not really the job that she's looking... :( but at least she'll have something to do while waiting for her dream job (hehe), besides, she needs to save up for our trip (oops, too bad, I may not able to join them).

***

Few days to go, 19 days to go to be exact - I'll be celebrating my birthday! Whew! Time flies so fast... Well, I don't have any plans yet.. Where and how.. Any suggestions? hehe.. Anyways, I'm accepting gifts as early as now.. hehe :)

Grey's Anatomy is Back

2007-09-29T01:10:00.000-07:00

The long wait is over.. the new season of Grey's Anatomy aired last night.. more updates later...

An update

2007-09-28T01:02:00.000-07:00

its been a while since my last post.. well, I've been busy with lots of stuffs, and forgot to update my blog.

Just to give you some updates of what happened or what I did these past days... My dad's birthday party went well. Some of his friends and oficemates went to our house - had dinner and some drinking session afterwards (hehe). Our gift?... 2 cakes... hehe.. Mom was not with us that day (she's in Cebu together with Aunt Edith), anyways, some relatives also came to celebrate with us.

My cousin Tin, my sis best friend Belle stayed in our house for a couple of weeks. We had a great time and bonded really well. We had chatted almost every night ( reason why I am so sleepy at the ofice the following day, hehe). It's really tiring but fun.

"Soul searching"... is what Tin and Belle did during their stay at our house. hehe.. well, they said they need some space and time to think on things.. hehe.. I guess, the GIPS (SGIP, its kinda confidential..hehe) were able to solve/help... as of this time, the two were back at the real world and done with their "soul searching" thing.. Really miss them.. :(

** watching movies - having some lines/qoutes memorized
** drinking coffee and eating in the middle of the night
** joking at each other

... those were some of the fave things we'd like to do.. :)

Dad's Birthday!!!

It's another busy day for me.

Anyways, while I'm doing some net surfing, I came across this site, and I took some test. Here is the result.

You Are a Frappacino

At your worst, you are: childish and over indulgent

You drink coffee when: you're craving something sweet

Your caffeine addiction level: low

What Kind of Coffee Are You?

I really love coffee. Today I ate donuts and coffee for my lunch. :)

How about you guys, What Kind of Coffee Are You?

2007-09-05T01:05:00.001-07:00

The new season of Grey's Anatomy starts on Sept 27. Meanwhile, here are some of the promo pictures of the cast.

Grey's Anatomy Fever!

2007-09-01T00:23:00.000-07:00

The fourth season of Grey's Anatomy will be on Sept. 27. A lot of viewers and fans are excited to watch the show. There had been lots of speculations of what's gonna happen..

Anyways, while waiting for the new epesodes, here are some memorable qoutes from the last season:

PRESTON: "Cristina, I could promise to hold you, and to cherish you. I could promise to be there, in sickness and in health. I could say till death do us part. But I won't. Those vows are for optimistic couples, the ones full of hope. I do not stand here on my wedding day optimistic or full of hope. I am not optimistic. I am not hopeful. I am sure. I am steady. I'm a heart man. Take 'em apart, put 'em back together, hold them in my hands. I am a heart man. So this, I am sure. You are my partner. My lover. My very best friend. My heart. My heart beats for you. And on this day, the day of our wedding, I promise you this. I promise you to lay my heart in the palm of your hands, I promise you... me."

*****

MEREDITH: "If you want to break up with me, so that you can see other women, just do it. Don't tell me you met another woman. Just end it, if that's what you want."
DEREK: "I can't."
MEREDITH: "Sure you can, here's how it goes. Meredith, I don't want to see you anymore. Meredith, I don't love you anymore."
DEREK: "Meredith, I do love you. Don't you see? Don't you understand? You're the love of my life. I can't leave you. But you're constantly leaving me. You walk away when you want, you come back when you want. Not everyone, not your friends, but you leave me. So, I'm asking you, if you don't see a future with us. Please... please just end it because I'm in it. Put me out of my misery."
MEREDITH: "I... I can't. Christina's getting married. I have to go... to make sure she's getting married."
DEREK: "Meredith?
MEREDITH: "I really need to make sure she gets down that aisle."
DEREK: "Let's go, we're running late."

*****

DEREK: "I met a woman last night."
MEREDITH: "You met a woman last night."
DEREK: "I'm telling you this because we don't keep secrets. I don't keep secrets. Nothing happened. She was pretty. I noticed. And we talked."
MEREDITH: "You met a woman last night."
DEREK: "Yeah."
MEREDITH: "So, should I be worried or something?"
DEREK: "Should you be worried that I met a woman? No. Should you be worried that, for me, flirting with that woman was a highlight of my week? Yeah, you should be worried."

*****

MEREDITH: [narrating] "Maybe we accept the dream has become a nightmare. We tell ourselves that reality is better. We convince ourselves it's better that we never dream at all. But, the strongest of us, the most determined of us, holds on to the dream or we find ourselves faced with a fresh dream we never considered. We wake to find ourselves, against all odds, feeling hopeful. And, if we're lucky, we realize in the face of everything, in the face of life the true dream is being able to dream at all."

*****

MEREDITH: [narrating] "The dream is this - that we'll finally be happy when we reach our goals - find the guy, finish our internship, that's the dream. Then we get there. And if we're human, we immediately start dreaming of something else. Because, if this is the dream, then we'd like to wake up. Now, please!"

More to come later..

Taking Care of Braces

2007-08-16T01:22:00.000-07:00

Its been almost two weeks since I had my braces. I'm still getting used to it. There are few things that must keep in mind, when you have braces. I've listed some of the things to avoid during the treatment.

Ice: Can break your braces
Pizza Crust: Bends the wires
Corn Chips/Pretzels: Bends wires and loosens brackets.
Sticky Lollies/Candy/Bubblegum: Pulls off wires and can cause decay (unless sugarfree).
Nuts/Popcorn: The shells get caught between the gum and bands.
Corn On The Cob: Cut the corn off the cob before eating to avoid damage to braces.
Apples/Carrots: (and other hard vegetables/fruit) Cut up before eating.

It is also important to take good care of it.

* Brush after each meal and snack.
* Clean between your teeth and around each bracket daily.
* Take time to brush THOROUGHLY
* Floss with a floss threader

More Grey's

2007-07-25T02:04:00.000-07:00

MEREDITH: [drunkenly narrating] "In general, people can be categorized in one of two ways. Those who love surprises and those who don't. I don't. I've never met a surgeon that enjoys a surprise, because as surgeons, we like to be in the know. We have to be in the know, because when we aren't, people die and lawsuits happen. Okay, I think I'm rambling. My point, actually, and I do have one, has nothing to do with surprises or death or lawsuits, or even surgeons. My point is that whoever said 'What you don't know can’t hurt you,' was a complete and total moron. Because for most people I know, not knowing is the worst feeling in the world." [sees passengers impaled on metal pole] "Okay, fine. Maybe the second worst."

*****

MEREDITH: [narrating] "Pain. You just have to ride it out. You can only hope it goes away on its own, hope the wound that caused it heals. There are no solutions, no easy answers, you just breath deep and wait for it to subside."

*****

MEREDITH: [narrating] "As doctors, as friends, as human beings, we all try to do the best we can. But the world is full of unexpected twists and turns. Just when you’ve gotten the lay of the land, the ground underneath you shifts. It knocks you off your feet. If youre lucky, you end up with nothing more than a flesh wound, something a band-aid will cover. But some wounds are deeper than they first appear, and require more than just a quick fix. With some wounds, you have to rip of the band-aid, let them breathe and give them time to heal."

*****

MEREDITH: [narrating] "Superstition lies in the space between what we can control and what we can't. Find a penny, pick it up, all day long you'll have good luck. No one wants to pass up a chance for good luck. But does saying it 33 times really help? Is anyone actually listening? Why do we bother doing those strange things? We rely on superstitions because we're smart enough to know we don't have all the answers.. and that life works in mysterious ways. Don't diss the juju, from wherever it comes."
