Rain rain Go away?

Posted: July 31, 2012 in Uncategorized

Here comes the rainy reason, a time for wearing a jacket, eating hot foods (like soups) and be concerned to those people experiencing loss of home due to heavy rainfall that cause flood. Some people feel unproductive and choose to sleep all day long. Usual thing right? That’s what ordinary people do “Lloyd Luna the author of the Obvious book” advise his reader of what is the different between rich and poor peopleabout their lifestyle.

The rich continue to discover and learn even if it rains while the poor or average prefer to stay at home and doing their routine waking up, eat, do some household chores and sleep. I’m not generalizing or judgmental I want to expose the fact base on what I’ve seen in the modern times. I consider my parents as a good example; we have the means to buy all the need and wants but most of the time “naghihigpit nang sinturon and aking nanay” practical or not?

I wonder why some people always borrow money from my parents but they looks richer especially on how they carry themselves and the way of living they had. More similar stories are getting in our house due to money problem. I observe that money is very essential in this world, but for my parents it is very important to save money for the future. They buy lots of property as an investment, I feel annoying when my mother gave me exact allowance and whenever I need something like new clothes and gadgets she always nagging and explaining that my father work hard for this.

Why some family afford to buy the luxurious things in this world without double thinking what might happened next after spending. Probably they want to experience the joy that money can buy. Being practical is easy no need training required and no expiration date. All you need is proper mindset and knowledge to budget your money. I recommend you people to read Robert Kiyosaki books and Francisco Colayko inspiring stories.

When it rains make it a point to become productive and invest to those things that makes you more happy without suffering your pocket. Remember all happiness in this world is free.

 

Battle within me

Posted: July 30, 2012 in Uncategorized

Few months from now I’ll be marching on Letran field (hopefully). But I guess there is lacking inside me that until now I can’t fully understand why. I came to realize how I can improve myself better each day. I start to read as much books as I can, I try to expose myself in the school activities and continue to help others. There is one thing that bothers me and that is ‘myself’, I want to see and talk to people with the same interest like mine, the same attitude that I have or shall we say perfect match.

Battling the journey of my senior years in college I found myself empty, not because I’m tired to look for the perfect match but I want to change my perspective. I want to feel how to align myself to those changes I’ve encounter. No perfect people in this world but I’m desperate to see that change that will make my life so meaningful. I know GOD is there, however I want to discover my strength to be the solution of my weaknesses. It’s hard to pretend that I’m okay, thanks to the people who surround me who never stop to listen through good and bad times of endeavours.

If other found solution with God, I made it more significant by talking with my own shadow. I assess and reflect for the goodness that I receive and the so much love and care with those people that I’d share my laugh.

Thank you for the challenges that makes me stronger I promise to cherish all this grace. I will add something different in my life that no matter what other will say I will do what I want.

How can I…

Managing time is not easy, but I guess proper balance and focus is the key to achieve your goals for the day. I remember last night I was receiving a text message by my friend saying ‘if you think your plan is not effective, change your plan but never change your goal. Sounds good and I deeply want to try it.

I am Brave.

I am confident.

I am Me.

New Haircut

Posted: July 19, 2012 in Uncategorized

I feel uneasy to fix my hair every day because it is rebonded I need an extra care of it like putting a lot of conditioner and applying oil after drying my hair.

Many salon near in Letran like Justine Barbara Salon, Mary Pauline and Salon 28. Among them Justine Barbara salon is the perfect for my taste not because it is much nearer to my dorm and school but the service they render to their customer. Their receptionist will greet you upon entering their salon and the hair cutters working there give you a big smile.

 

Malunggay Muffin

Yummy breakfast with hot soup and malunggay muffin made by Ms.Jill (my bestfriend), I feel like in heaven because of the delicious taste with the twist of orange peel.

This food complete my day 🙂 next plan, visit a salon to trim my hair.

fun,fun day

Unwind moment bonding with my hrdm colleagues, the laughter we shared together gives new meaning in what we call FRIENDS.

And finally I discover the taste of infiniTEA near at our school, so many flavors to choose for. I feel like im in heaven, the ambiance is good but few chairs is available.

A typical student: enter in the school, attend the class, review /research for other subjects and go home.

I remember myself during my freshmen years in Letran I always felt dreary at the end of the day because of the long hours of vacant. My dorm became my comfort zone whenever I’ll do my assignments, eating my snacks and rest. For the longest time I sense that I don’t have barkada’s to hang out with.

I change my “school lifestyles” by facing my fears, I talk a little bit to the people I met. Later on I see the development or evolution of my personality.

During my High school years I am passionate to discover my talents, especially in arts. I have lots of art work in my room and until now I continue to buy art materials to create a personalized cards, bookmark, bracelet, collage, scrapbooking and origami. At some point in time it became my hobby to craft something out of the available materials that I have.

Right now I’m more focused on my studies, and I don’t want to stick around my dorm. I always want to feel free, I dwell at the school library and I constantly want to “give a beso-beso” for all the girls that close to my heart.

 

 

 

How to make your day better 1: Wake up a few minutes earlier

 

You know the scenario; you wake up in a flurry of panic the moment your alarm goes off because you need to be on time for work. You rush around the house trying to get ready but somehow get more cereal down your crisp white shirt than in your mouth; you put the milk in the dishwasher instead of the fridge; and, as you rush from room to room your sleeve gets stuck on the door handle, sending you hurtling back a metre as you were mid-way through marching out of the living room on a mission (is there anything more annoying when you’re in a rush?). As you can probably relate to from this example, being short of time makes your stress levels rise and you’re in a pickle faster than you can say “should have set my alarm earlier”. Make your mornings easier by setting your alarm 15 minutes before you need to get up. This will leave plenty of time for your body and mind to wake up so you can get ready without the stress.

 

How to make your day better 2: Make a happy list

 

Sometimes we dwell on the things that make us sad rather than concentrating on what makes us happy. It takes a little brain training to change your thought process from negative to positive, and a good way to do this is make a list of things that make you happy and keep referring to it every time you feel sad. Whether you want to write down your favourite quote from a movie, the date of a holiday you have booked, or you stick down a photograph of yourself on one of the happiest days of your life, it’s sure to lift your spirits when you’re feeling down in the dumps. Corny? Yes. Helpful? Most definitely.

 

How to make your day better 3: Sniff a lemon

 

Yep, you read that right. To improve your day, simply sniff a lemon. Scientists at Tel Aviv University suggest that citrus fragrances – particularly lemon – can alleviate depression and boost our mood. Indeed, the smell of a lemon boosts your levels of serotonin (a feel-good hormone) and lowers levels of norepinephrine (a stress hormone), so improve your day by burning a lemon scented candle or spritzing on a lemony fragrance, or you could just go all out and sniff a lemon.

How to make your day better 4: Cuddle someone

 

With the soaring popularity of the ‘cuddle party’ phenomenon, more and more people are discovering the benefits of a good snuggle. A warm embrace boosts the natural feel-good hormones released by the body, reduces stress, and creates a feeling of mutual trust. Beware though, whilst cuddling is a great mood-enhancer, we do recommend that you be selective over whom you choose to embrace; your boss or the window cleaner may not appreciate a cuddle as much as your spouse or your pet. If you prefer something a little less intimate, there’s nothing to stop you from expressing your feelings through a man hug (yes, this can be done by the ladies too), or maybe even a high-five to release those happy hormones.

 

How to make your day better 5: Sweat it out

 

Encourage your body’s natural feel good hormones to give your mood – and ultimately your day – a boost. Walk the dog, go for a run, or dance around the living room for half an hour; anything that gets your blood pumping and makes you sweat will do the trick. The endorphins released during exercise are scientifically proven to boost your mood, making any form of physical activity a sure-fire way to boost your day.

 

How to make your day better 6: Have a bath

 

Rather than that quick dash in and out of the shower, make some me-time and have a bubble bath and some time to work on your personal appearance. Our day always seems to go better when we look and feel our best, so gentlemen, have a shave and use a deep moisturising balm. Ladies, apply face and hair masks and paint your nails alongside your bath. It’s surprising how much a little me-time can perk up your day.

 

How to make your day better 7: Prioritise your tasks

 

A common reason for us to be having a bad day is stress. Having a long list of tasks to do can be overwhelming so tackle any problems head-on at the start of the day to get them out of the way as early as possible. Tackling your problems in the morning will eliminate feelings of worry throughout the rest of your day. A good way to prioritise your tasks is to write them all down and then number them from one to 10, with one being the most important, and 10 being the least important. Work your way through the tasks starting with the most important first, and tick them off as you go along. You will feel a sense of achievement each time you tick a task off.

Transporter 3

Posted: July 1, 2012 in Uncategorized

Jason Statham, he’s masculine moves add spice to his serious type “bad boy” role in this movie.

 

I was planning to make a tiramisu for my little cousin this weekends ; but I adjust my plan because I have lots of things to do this morning.

While I was refreshing my mind reading my hand outs in different “school subjects” I turn on the television and watch the TRANSPORTER 3 tagalog version. I was stunned watching every single scene because of its ACTION effect. Truthfully I enjoy this kind of story not because of the unusual movements of the character but the “MARVELLOUS”act of the actors.

I love the car featuring at this movie, I hope I can be a good driver as well.

On the other hand Jackie Chan, Bruce Lee, Tom Cruise and  Keanu Reeves are my favorite stars when it comes to action movies. But of course the marvel heroes are the best among the rest. Yeah no one can replace my happiness when I watch them, this week I’m planning to watch the Amazing Spiderman.
