Notes from a Plain Jane

Random Writings about anything
I've start being a Shinhwa Fan back in 2008, the same year when their leader went to military. Since then, I promised myself that when they have their comeback, I'll make sure that its either I watch their concert or buy their album or both. But since my money is not enough, I ask a very good friend to buy me their 10th album that's very difficult to buy since it has been sold out on pre-ordered phase T__T. Good thing my friend able to get me one, and I really treat it as my Birthday Gift :P






Had a hard time opening this without damaging its plastic packaging, but it was worth it ^^ I have put it back after and I'm so proud that somehow I put it on the plastic properly :D


I am a Bob Ong fan way back on 2006, when I first read his Bakit Baliktad Magbasa ng Libro ang mga Pilipino. I love the way he write his books, its funny, entertaining and always have the moral lesson that you can get in every day life but you doesn't realized it until you read it. He expresses the lessons by showing the current state of our society and letting us realize that we can do something about it. Bob Ong books are really for people of all ages, you don't get bored by it, you keep loving every second regardless of the non-sensical things it have, so enough for the introduction :P

I was waiting for his new book after Mga Kaibigan ni Mama Susan, but I was a bit busy that I was months behind on the news about his new book, and it took me exactly a month before I finally acquired a copy.

At first I was skeptical because of the cover, It was scary T__T, and i heard a friend saying that it wasn't good according to what she also heard. But since it was another book by one of my favorite Filipino Author, I decided to buy it.

I read the book for 2 days since I only have time on my way to office, my friend read this for two hours, my point is, It can easily be read :)

The whole book actually tackles the typical storyline of Filipino Movie with a few insights on Books with Filipino Author and the 'in' factor. It is written on a manuscript format which emphasize what the book wanted to share. It contains three story, which all depicts the current status of our TV & Movie Industry.

I personally like this book because I can relate to the author sentiments, though I know I didn't do anything to stop this :( Honestly, people who doesn't really know might think that I only love Korean Drama's & Movies, and doesn't watch local movies, but I do and I love them but most of them are from the past.

To be Continue...
My mind are scattered like the stars in the night, so I just post random stuff and random everything. But I noticed on other's blog that they have some way where they can group their posts. So I think that I should create that one too, and start to organize this little baby while its only learning to walk Hihihihi :)


I love reading, eating, chatting and travelling :P but if you will ask me to choose one among this, I will instantly pick reading. I don't know if you also feel this, but i feel calm whenever I read any books. It's like I can instantly escape reality and go to the place where the character go. I can easily feel the emotions of the characters I read. I remember there are times on high school where I cried on the corridor because a character that I loved died, and after some days I was laughing because of the things I read, that my classmate find me weird because of the sudden rush of emotions. So as a part of my Plan: Organize, I would like to create a tag for the mini book review that I will have, and tentatively I will call it Booklat, it's the same sound as Buklat  or Open in Tagalog, but I put the word Book so it will have the meaning of Open the book :)
I first encounter this word when I was lurking at 9gag.com.
Lucid Dreaming according to Wikipedia:
lucid dream is any dream in which one is aware that one is dreaming. The term was coined by the Dutch psychiatrist and writer Frederik (Willem) van Eeden (1860–1932).[1] In a lucid dream, the dreamer may be able to exert some degree of control over their participation within the dream or be able to manipulate their imaginary experiences in the dream environment.[2] Lucid dreams can be realistic and vivid.[3] It is shown that there are higher amounts of beta-1 frequency band (13–19 Hz) experienced by lucid dreamers, hence there is an increased amount of activity in the parietal lobes making lucid dreaming a conscious process.[4]
Lucid dreaming has been researched scientifically, and its existence is well established.[5][6]
On my 21 year of existence, I experienced Lucid Dreaming thrice. First one when I was in highschool, the second one was on my college days, and the current one was last year. I did't know that what I experienced was called as Lucid Dreaming because for me, it was one of the scariest experience I ever had. Though I know many people want to experience this, some I read wanted to feel what an OBE (Out of Body Experience) is, and might argue with me that it depends on what you will think etc etc. But for someone who already experienced it unknowingly, I wouldn't want to do it ever again.

I remember that those three instances, I actually felt that I am paralyze. I can't move my arms nor my legs. All I can do is shout on my mind but I know no one hears me. Actually, my first Lucid Dream is the main reason why I don't like rats. I was aware when I dreamed that are slowly going to my arms and walking directly to my face. Recalling that now gives me chills. Being in Lucid Dream make you feel that you are slowly dying, and no one can save you aside from your self.

Those three experience's I had leave me sleepless for a day because I am afraid that it will happen again. I remember asking my mom if I can sleep with hear due to my fear.

I hope I won't experience any lucid dream again, it's quite a scary experience for me.
For those who wanted to try it, Good Luck.
Today, another special gift from Papa God is celebrating her birthday :) and I wanted to greet her in my own way:P
She is commonly known as Nef (since her fullname Neferteri Grace is uniquely beautiful that my classmate and I once mispronounce and called her Nefertiti :P Haha) my pretty and really slim friend :P
 

I known her since 2006, start of frosh days in College. We are not friends at first sight :) It tools almost a year before we clicked and another year before we got so close. Counting these, we are friends for more than 5 years and I may say that I am really really really glad being with a great friend like her :P
Nef and I don't have so many things in common except for our always on the Go Attitude and Crazy way of living. We are Gala partners, its really rare that you wouldn't see the both us on one group travel. We are the always available peeps :P and we are both the crazy one ^^ We did so many crazy thing together and I know we will create more crazy moments together :P

Maybe she doesn't know this but I always adore her, and awe about how pretty she is. I love how tactless she is, and will say the things you need to hear, whether its good or bad. She's the type who will forcefully open your eyes so you would listen to her when you asked for her advice. Though never said this to her in person, but I learn so many things from her. There are times where I wonder why I can't be as cool as her? But knowing myself I just laugh and said Nef is Cool, and I am the warm type hahaha :P

 
Kidding aside, I am so thankful that Papa God let our path crossed. There are so many things that I wish I had, but I never think to have another set of friends.Why would I when I already have the best ^^



Happy Birthday Dud!
Stay Pretty, Sexy and Smart :P Whatever you're going through right now, I hope you know that I am always here ^^

With Lots of Seductive Stares and Kisses,
Ellen ^^
Today is March 5, and tomorrow I will finally turn 21 *drumrolls*, the year where I am now allowed to get my own Credit Card! *Louder drumrolls*
But as usual, I feel so sick since Saturday. I don't have a fever, but my body feel so weak that I just want to sleep all day. I already drank some med for flu, since according to my mom it looks I will have one in a matter of hours and my traditional pre-debut sickness is waving hi infront of me@_@.
I remember every year, a day or two before my birthday, I suddenly feel so sick. It's either i will have flu, a cough or a fever T_T. I already experienced spending my birthday inside a hospital, and it wasn't the best experienced at all.
I will take some rest again :P and hopefully I wouldn't feel so sickly afterward ^^
