Candy is my tranquilizer.

Almost every after meal, I eat candy. My friends say I eat a lot maybe because I'm used to getting my stomach full every time I eat. Then, I feel nauseous. That's what happens to me every meal. =(

At Fete, I didn't feel good at first because of the drizzle combined with my perspiration, I felt uneasy. I thought I was going to faint and so while walking I hold Lyka's arms a bit tight just to balance myself. Thank you lyka and sorry, too. (Lam ko alam mo na kung ano yun. he he!) We sat at the bench beside Max's, Christian (San Jose) moved away from me when I grab a plastic and made a vomiting sound. As the best immediate resort, I grab a candy. Buti na lang may kendi agad ako sa bulsa at may kendi rin na tinitinda sa katabi namin kung sakaling wala man akong kendi. Ha ha.

It was my first time to go at Fete de la Musique to which Cielo and Christian (Arafol) invited me. It was alota fun--the graceful move of Sinosikat vocalist, the diksynaryo lyrics by the Chongkeys, the lively and dancing sound of the Skabeche and Chicosci, which stood as the substitute for water.

Does your name begin with: M?

I got this from a friend.

Does your name begin with: M

You may appear innocent, unassuming and shy; but we know thatAppearancescan lie. When it comes to sex, you are no novice but something of askilledtechnician. You can easily go to extremes, though h, running the gamutfrominsatiability to boredom with the whole idea of love. You can be highlycritical of you mate, seeking perfection in both of you. It is not easytofind someone who can meet your standards. You have difficulty expressingemotions and drawing close to lovers. You are often selfish, thinkingyouare always right no matter what. You never give in. Winning is yourprimedesire- at any cost. You often forget friends and family and you liveforthe moment.

On the twelfth of June.

***Independence Day is not for me. When I'm down to you, I feel so .....

That's the line that pops out my mind when I hear Independence Day. Actually, the line above was part of the chorus from one of the songs by Barbie Almalbis. I only heard the song once from a music channel a year ago I think and, for me, it's easy to go with the song. Anyway, this day is a time to commemorate for our National Heroes who fight for our liberty many years ago and especially for being Filipino and proud for that given freedom.

But it seems today that this freedom especially the freedom of expression is no longer visible to the Filipino people. Many journalists, supporters had been killed in connection with this year's election. Don't they have the right to express their abhorrence or even just their own opinions to leaders of our country. 2007 Elections have really made this country even more chaotic.

Bakit Baliktad Magbasa ng Libro ang Mga Pilipino? A book by the famous Bob Ong which entails a lot of our customs, traditions, our funny ways, and more importantly is for us to feel that no matter where we are or what we do, we are still Filipino in blood (literally) and in heart. wee.

The Pursuit of Happyness

***Don't ever let somebody tell you 'you can't do something'. Not even me. You got a dream, you gotta protect it. People can't do something themselves, they wanna tell you you can't do it. If you want something, go get it! Period. -Chris Gardner (Will Smith)

This movie have helped me to see all the blessings that I have and not put it to waste-to give quality time to my family and one most important thing this movie reminded me of is not to spend money lavishly.

The protagonist Chris Gardner (Will Smith), have struggled all his life to give his son Christopher (Jaden Smith) a better life. Everyday, they are forced to look for a shelter because Chris has no stable job. His only opportunity to earn money is to sell the bone scanners which he soon finds just a luxury to the doctors. Until one day, he met this executive guy at a business firm going on a break and asks him what it pays to be a stockbroker. When he finds the answer, he then makes this as his determination to find a way for that kind of job. With patience, hard work, prayer, determination, combined with luck and a good sense of connection to people, he lands to his dream job as a stockbroker. =)
