Havaianas Site. OMG.

OMG. OMG. Oh Em Gee.

The Havaianas site is sooo savvy!!!

www.havaianas.com

Check that out you guys! It's sooo savvy. Darn. It's been a while since I last visited there and my oh my, things sure did change.

Anyway, I have new glasses and cool case to go with it. Hehehe. The casing has a reversible cover. Nifty, eh?

My new glasses are graded 175/175 and has red frames. Really really sexxxay! :P

Can't wait to show it to my friends. Lolz.

Starting Flip Flops Collection

Yesterday, October 28, was the Foundation Day of Madre Maria Pia Notari School. Madre Pia is my grade school alma mater and all my siblings studied there as well. Currently, 2 of my youngest sibs are studying there and they had dance presentations today, as part of the celebration of the Foundation of the school, and of course, my family and I were there to watch! :)

Patrick's performance was really really nice! He's energetic as always. Trisha's dance was quite good as well! :) Darn. Didn't know we had the dance genes in the family. Hahaha. Patrick's in Grade 5 already and Trisha is in Grade 3. I can't believe that they're the smallest in their class. Darn... our genes. Lolz.

Anyway, I got no camera so I have no pics to show to you... It's just that it's nice to visit that school again. Brings back memories... I'm feeling nostalgic as a result. Hahaha.

So after that, we decided to watch a movie since it was really a long time since our last. We wanted to watch Shark Boy and Lava Girl since Mariah recommended it. We went to SM Bicutan to hang out. I treated them out to lunch. :) After that, we roamed around a bit. We window shopped a bit then we headed to the cinemas.

Unfortunately, Shark Boy and Lava Girl was there so we watched another movie. :P It was really really funny! :P I won't go into details about the movie. Next time na lang. ^__^

Neway, after the movie I saw some flip flops for sale. They have a white one there that looks like a Havaianas but they don't have my size. Out of stock, darn!

We went to SM Department Store and then I bought loads of flip flops. They're really cheap and cute and purdy!!! I bought Banana Peel flip flops. I'm sure you've heard of that. They have really cute designs and colors and stuff. And it's inexpensive too. :D I bought 5 pairs for only P250. I bought one for my mom and for Mariah.

I will post pictures when I can. :)

That starts our flip flops collection. Yummy. (I still desire Havaianas though.) ^__^

Music_HTML is still on HIATUS!

I can't believe how lazy I have been!!!

Well, I was already coding some. And then the server changed the links again. Dammit!

Well, if your music links are broken, email me at blossom_017[at]yahoo[dot]com or at music_html[at]yahoo[dot]com and I'll email you with the song URLs.

Gahd. When will I ever ever ever finish updating music_html?!

Anyway, although I haven't been updating the site, I'm still accepting requests by email. So just holler and your requests will be granted. *wink*

Cheers y'all!!!

I'm in Yahoo!

Oh yes... definitely!

I'm in Yahoo! Mail.

Nice no?

Wa beh!!! (I want!!!)

Well, you could use that link to access Yahoo! Mail from now on. I won't mind. :) And yes, that works. Try to sign-in using that page.

I've actually changed all our links to Yahoo! Mail to that one. Hahaha.

I feel so special having my picture there. ^_^

It definitely brightened up my day!

Thanks John. ^__^

YFC Precon and Gawad Kalinga

I attended the Youth For Christ (YFC) Precon yesterday. Twas the Sector Conference of the South B people.

Every YFC from the South of NCR, I think, was there. And it was sooo much fun. All I could say is that being in the presence of the people who share your love is sooo overwhelming.

The desire to serve God, to live a holy life, to spread the good word is so overwhelming that by the end I was crying.

The best part of the event was not the contests, but it was the Praisefest. I've never seen so many people singing aloud and praising for God. You could just feel nothing but absolute goodness.

Yesterday was sooo much fun that I would really love to attend the Metro Con. It would be a gathering of YFC from all over Metro Manila. I wish I could go. :)

What I felt yesterday was really great. I was with the people I love... those who share my sentiments about God. We sang and danced... our praise for God was never ending. We all had so much fun there!

Too bad Mariah wasn't there. My brother Mikey was with me and we met sooo many new people! Fun would be an understatement, really.

God is everything we will ever need. He alone can make us whole. He will never let us down.

I felt so at home. It's like I really belonged there.

I am sinner and I am not proud to say so. I have desires that I would be sooo ashamed to share lest I be called names. Sometimes, I tend to forget that Him. I am easily swayed by desires, most of which are earthly. And for that, sorry dear Lord.

I just want to tell You that I will listen to You more. I'm so glad to be in your presence. I will strive to remove all impurities within me. I may not be 100% PURE but I will strive to be. Lord, you know of my dreams. I only wish for the best.

Greed for fame, power, and money led us to this WAR. What will happen to the world now? Let us not just dream, let us do something.

For that, I would like to invite everyone to join and support Gawad Kalinga. GK is Building 700,000 Homes in 7,000 communities in the Philippines in 7 years. Let us help make that mission come true. GK is not a work of charity, it is a mission of nation building and crusade for all Filipinos. Thus, it involves every sector of society. Remember, you don't have to be a YFC or a CFC member to join GK. You don't have to be affiliated with any organization to join GK. Helping build a nation doesn't entail anything. You only have to have love within you (and that's not even hard).

"OUR poor people place too much hope in politics and politicians. But dirty, dishonest and corrupt politics is making the poor poorer.
There is an effective solution to the basic problem of the poor -- Gawad Kalinga."

Let's all strive for improvement. Nothing is impossible with God.

After all the impediments that came my way, I would like to surrender. But I will continue to fight, for I know that God is with me. Always.

Solo Dios Basta.

Pachelbel's Canon

I heard this song years ago...

Yet, when I heard it playing on My Sassy Girl, my gawd, I lurved it to death!

Oh yes, I'm raving about it!

I even asked friends of mine to play it for me. Hahaha. If only I could play the piano, I will play it over and over again. But now, playing it nonstop on Winamp would suffice. *grins*

I <3 Pachelbel's Canon so much (that anyone who plays it could win my heart)!

Corene said she'll play it to win my heart. Hahaha. No need, girl.

If you want to download the song, just click here.

Enjoy everyone! Share the love!

P.S. Whenever I hear it, I remember a girl... crying in front of a boy... being asked whether she loves him or not... and guess what the girl said?

Above Me

Lord, grant me the Serenity to accept the things I cannot change, Courage to change the things I can, and Wisdom to know the difference.

Yes, I have been thinking a lot lately. I am mostly confused though.

But I have a surprise for you. And you will get it before I die. Or before you do. Whichever comes first. Surely I want you to know how I have been feeling all this time.

Anyway, sembreak started last October 1 and as you people might have guessed, I'm still busy as hell! hahaha!

I'm not complaining though. I prefer to be busy than to be idle. For the idle mind is the devil's lair.

Last October 5, I took the final exam in History 1 (Philippine History) though I was exempted. Who knows, it might lift my grades. It was an essay type of exam with 2 questions worth 50 points each. It was fairly easy. *wink*

The next day, I was about to take the final exam in Botany 11 (General Botany for Pharmacy Students). Fortunately, I was exempted! :) That was a great thing coz I never want to take the finals anyway! It's gonna be as hard as hell. LOL

At around 10 am, I went to World Trade Center Metro Manila. I was invited by Kuya Raymond of Agri-Aqua Network International (AANI) to visit their booth during the 12th AGRILINK/FOODLINK 2005. It was fun though. :) The last time I went to WTCMM was during a Food Fair. Or was it during a Christmas bazaar? Am not sure which but I was glad to be there. I learned a lot though. It was nice there though there were still a few people (compared to the lot when it's Christmas) because it's still the first day of the exhibit.

Anyway, Kuya Raymond showed me around. There were a lot of booths (of course) but I forgot the lot. Hahaha! I could just remember this big pig mascot. He's sooo big. LOL Thinking about it, I should've taken my picture with him. Hahaha!

The next day, I took the final exam in Math 17 (College Algebra and Trigonometry). I was so glad that it was over! It wasn't as hard as I thought. Still, I'm glad that it's all over!

I still have a final exam to take in Comm 1. There's no way of getting exempted there. *sigh* Anyway, that will be this coming Thursday. :P

I attended YFC meeting again yesterday! But yesterday morning, I went to UP Diliman with my brother for the Fun Run. Well, that was a special kind of Fun Run. Hahaha. I wasn't able to attend the UP Fun Run because I got sick that day. So I, together with my classmates who weren't able to attend as well, asked our Prof for a special activity. And that was it.

My brother and I ran around the Academic Oval TWICE. And we did that in 40 minutes. Fast, huh? :P Well, we got around the fastest. And yes, I have asthma. You can just imagine how I was wheezing my way through it all. My brother and I enjoyed it.

On our way home, we had a problem. MRT broke down!!! It was the most exasperating moment. We had to go home fast because we still have to attend a YFC meeting later at 2 in the afternoon. And it was around 10:30. Since MRT broke down, we had to take an alternate route. A much longer and a much more expensive one!!! Darn.

I'd be hell glad if I have a car... Or a driver. But I could only surmise.

Well, we got home at around 1 pm when we could've been home an hour and a half earlier! MRT, you should pay! LOL I was quite pissed at MRT for taking such a bad time to break down. ^_^

YFC was fun! I attended the youth mass at 7 in the evening. Twas great. It was my first to attend and the people were but few. After the mass, there was a seminar called LOVESTRUCK. It was a talk on love and courtship and the speakers were a couple who were to celebrate their 1st year anniversary as boyfriend-girlfriend today!

Personally, I'd rather the speakers were a couple for a much longer time. I know you would think that too. But if you heard them talk, oh my! You would think they've been together for at least 5 years. Well, I just hope that they stay a couple forever. They look cute together! ^_^

And I have another SECRET site. ^_^ I'll only give the URL to those who ask for it. Hehehe. And only to those who I think are worthy. LOL

- - - - -

And almost an hour ago. I did a stupid thing which I am now remorseful of. I took out my anger on the wrong person. Darn. And yeah, I made a fool of myself. I don't know why I'm even blogging about this. Maybe it's the lack of sleep. Or maybe I'm under the Imperiatus Curse. LOL

By the way, I want to greet a belated Happy Birthday to my dear friend
Katrina. It was her birthday yesterday! :) Happy Birthday my pretty friend! And I hope that you and AJ will be happy together... ever after. :P Mwah!

She Cries

Woke up today thinking of you
Another night that I made my way through
So many dreams still left in my mind
But they can never come true
I press rewind and remember when
I close my eyes and I'm with you again
But in the end I can still feel the pain, every time I hear your name

The sun won't shine since you went away
Seems like the rain's falling every day
There's just one heart, where there once was two
But that's the way it's gotta be,
'til I get over you

Walked through the park, in the evening air
I heard a voice and I thought you were there
I run away but I just can't escape
Memories of you everywhere
They say that time will dry the tears
But true love burns for a thousand years
Give my tomorrows for one yesterday
Just to know that I could have you here

When will this river of tears stop fallin'
Where can I run so I won't feel alone
Can't walk away when the pain keeps callin'
I've just gotta take it from here on my own
But it's so hard to let go



Everytime we're together, I can't help but think of the times we were together.

Sabi nga nila, "You'll never realize the significance of someone until they're gone."

Pero that's not really the case with me dahil matagal ko ng alam kung gano sya kahalaga.

Do you even get me? Basta, I'm just really thankful that our paths crossed. I know it may sound crazy. And I really think na lalaki ulo mo kapag sinabi ko to. Pero you're THAT important para iyakan ko. Alam mo, isa ako don sa mga "mananatili... magpakailanman." Hehehe. Cheesy ba? :P


I look you in the eyes
I try to read you thoughts
I ask you to go with me
To a far off place.

We don't have to talk,
We don't have to laugh at all
I just want you here with me.

We don't have to talk,
We don't have to laugh at all
I just want to be
You and me.



Everytime that I get a whiff of your perfume, my heart skips a beat. Then I look around hoping that you were just around there somewhere... But I see nothing. Maybe it was my imagination. Maybe there was really someone who smells just like you. I'm hopeless. Haha.

I miss the feeling of being with you. I miss our kulitan. I miss eating out with you. (No, not THAT film by Lino Brocka.) I miss our sweetness. I miss your hugs and your kisses. I still love you no matter how apart we are.


tears are feelings we cant say
tears mean that you care
tears are mixed emotions
tears are more than tears



Sometimes words aren't enough to express what you feel. Sometimes it takes more than that... sometimes you need tears. Tears are pent up emotions. They truly express what you feel. I am not afraid to cry. I was never afraid to show what I really feel. If I know that no words could express my feelings, I shed tears. It comes out naturally. Some people say that I'm a crybaby. Maybe I am, but those tears mean more than what it seems.

*sigh*

Sa buhay natin may mga taong dadating... may mga taong lilisan... may mga taong magpapasaya at may mga magpapalungkot... Ngunit may mga tao na kahit anong mangyari at sa kabila ng lahat ay mananatili... magpakailanman.
