For the last 22 years I am celebrating the birthday of our dear savior.

I am happier and much thanful today for everything that I have.

I don't have all the things that I want, nor have the people that I like to meet.

I didn't do something so BIG this year, nor experience a once in a lifetime feat.

But I am thankful because I have the people who I need around me, 

I am thankful because I received a gift that not many people experience, it may be not a solid second life but it is technically like that and for that I am truly glad.

I am thankful that he gives me the things that I need, not in the way I like them to be but in his own wonderful mysterious way.

There are so many things that I am still lacking as his child, but I am glad that this year he solidify all the foundations and let me realize that I am more than what I am thinking of.

I am glad, happy, thankful and feel so blessed that this Christmas I can't help but utter a sincere thanks to all the things he's been given to me and my family.

Happy Birthday Papa God :)

You know I love you right? And I will be forever your willing child :)

In your name,

Amen.

I have finished reading The Hunger Games trilogy (Hunger Games, Catching Fire and Mocking Jay) last Sunday. Actually I have read The Hunger Games but decided not to read the next book because the first one is a complete series as it is, and to avoid too much excitement over the next movie.
A weekend before I start reading the book, I watched the Catching Fire and it leaves me hanging and of course I am not the kind of person who doesn't like to be hanging for sometime,  I decided to read the two books and broke my promise a year ago.

Honestly, I am so in love with Katniss and Peeta's that I really hate it that the Catching Fire was ended like that. I also believe that when a reader felt that something has ended when you finished reading a book, that means the book is really good and that is what I felt after reading Hunger Games. (I have felt it aswell when I read Harry Potter, The Perks Of Being a Wallflower, and some other great books too!)
I am still in the Hunger Games fan world that I can't help but think about it, and the lives that has been lost, the opportunity, the scenes, the heartbreaks and fears. It brings me so much emotions that I was really crying while reading >.<

I think I have three favorite lines/quotes from the whole series and it was top of this, which was on the last part.

What I need to survive is not Gale’s fire kindled with rage and hatred. I have plenty of fire myself. What I need is the dandelion in the spring. The bright yellow that means rebirth instead of destruction. The promise that life can go on no matter how bad our losses. That it can be good again and only Peeta can give me that.
So after when he whispers, “You love me. Real or not real?”
I tell him, “Real”

While reading it over and over again, I can't help by recalling the force of magnetism, which is the opposite attracts, and alike repel. Peeta and Katniss were so different, the one is so free and open, while the other wanted to always in control. Katniss and Gale are the alike poles, though they did not repel and there is a point in time, if maybe if the odds are in their favor, they end up being married though I really doubt that they will have any child.

I recall that saying and realized why Peeta is really the best for Katniss, and why normal people also falls for the person who are the opposite of them. Katniss is right that what she needs is her dandelion in the spring, that can give hope and promises. I am not actually sure of this, but maybe looking at someone with different perspective that you are can give you more life that looking at someone with the same feelings like you. Katniss is a dark character, same with Gale, and if you will put yourself into her shoes, it is scary to look in someone else eyes with your reflection. It's frightening, and she knows that what Gale's eyes will reflect, yes he love her, and she love him once upon a time when she didn't feel how it is to look into someone eyes with different view. It is comforting, refreshing, and something that gives you hope, a thing that makes us going.

It is nice to have Gale actually, someone so much like you but at the end of the day, we all have this feeling that you wanted to detach yourself from the reality, you wanted to escape in your own body and having someone so much like you is too much.

I really do love Peeta, the boy who could do everything for the love of his life and wish that I could meet someone like him. Someone who could bring me hope in the little but best possible ways. I love that Katniss choose him, that they are meant to be, and how fate turns to be.

I think I will still be in Hunger Games world for a month, and hopefully I can survive without crying my eyes out once I re-read the books, and some fan fictions.
And the movie also meet the right cast ^^ They are great and hilarious at the same time! :)

I hope the odds will be in our favor! :D

A day before my surgery, yes I am afraid but it lesser than the feeling that I feel so loved.
I might be crazy but I think one of the things that I realized with all of this is that I am really special to the people I treat special aswell.
Most of my friends expresses their fear, and wonder why I treat this lightly. I don't but I just realized that being afraid won't help me and I know that they are always with me, so what is there to be afraid to?
A little pain is nothing compared to the relieved I will have after this.
Good Luck to me in the succeeding hours >.<

Nicholas Spark isn't my favorite author out there because he always makes me cry with all his creations, but I can't help reading and watching his works adaptation.
And being me, I read another book of him and again I was in for a heartbreak.
I can't help but crying while reading and sometimes this is the main reason why I don't want to read anything, I get so hooked and emotional that it felt my life has been affected.

Amanda and Dawson.
I hate it that they didn't pursue their second chance, but at the same this makes their love so pure and sacred. They were wrapped back to their teen-age self and it feels so ethereal I guess. I think that is one thing that love always gives, the feeling of never growing old, the feeling of you are always the best person you can be.

I feel so sad about Dawson because he's always on the sad part of life, some are because of his choices while most are because of what life given to him.

I can't blame Amanda for the choices she made, she's a mother and that change everything, I guess.

I love and hate this novel because it depicts what we are all going through, in some way of another. We make choices, we live with that choice.

There are two quotations that stuck with me actually,

“Life was messy. Always had been and always would be and that was just the way it was, so why bother complaining? You either did something about it or you didn’t, and then you lived with the choice you made.” 

“I gave you the best of me, he'd told her once, and with every beat of her son's heart, she knew he'd exactly done that.

P.S. I wish I could sleep without thinking much about them >.< My eyes really hurt for crying :(

For the last years, I think there is something so amusing with the push and pull relationship, even the friend zone type of romance. I always think that it is cute watching a couple, acting like a couple, without even being a couple, weird and confusing right?

I always think that they just needed a little more time, and a little more push and they will be the cutest couple ever.

I think that it is nice to see a nice guy watching over to this girl, until he have enough courage to confess. Or a girl waiting for the confession.

I found everything so cute and endearing that I sometimes fool myself that, that kind of relationship is okay. 

Until recently, when reality pulls you in and you realized that the push and pull, and friend zone are a coward relationship. The two people held on to their feelings assuming that they have all the time when in fact they don't. These people trapped themselves in believing that maybe the other one have a special feeling too, but you don't know because you never asked and you just pacify yourself with that thought; because deep within you, you are just afraid of rejection. Not realizing the prolonging this agony, is much bitter than the rejection itself.

A tragic incident happened last week Friday(sept 6), our barangay captain was shot inside the barangay hall.
He was declared as dead after an hour from the time he was sent to the hospital.
The news was so sudden that I don't believe my sister when she told me, my mom talked to him an hour before that tragic event.

I am not close with him, but my family is.
I am actually grateful towards him because of all the help he provided.
And hearing this event happen brought fear and sadness to me.

I don't like death, though I have overcome my fear towards it and accepted that it will come one day, I still prefer not to think too much on this or else I wouldn't able to sleep peacefully and cry until my eyes hurts.

Yesterday, I went to his last wake where the family created a small program to remember him.
I didn't see the presentation because I went in late but I had a chance to listen to his family members' speeches. I think that it's good that I didn't watch it since I am pretty sure I will bawl and cry.
While listening to them, there is one thing that I observed and feel, the bitterness is so thick and sharp that it can slice you; and I cannot blame them.
As I sit there, I can understand why they are saying things like that. It is difficult to admit death, what more if it is accidental and so tragic like this. I know it's not good to compare but it is easier to accept if that person is old or sick, you can justify that it is natural and you want them to be free from this burden. But a sudden tragic death like someone shot your family member in an ordinary day, and the case is not yet close, that is something than can give anyone an ill feeling that no one wanted to feel.

Today is his burial day.
I didn't went with my parent and youngest sibling, along with people in our barangay in sending him off.
Our community is so silent right now because almost everyone went, and I think this is a great indication that his constituents respect and adore him.

I do wish that the criminals would be caught immediately and justice shall be served.
And I do hope that this is the last time.

Today is National Heroes Day, a very appropriate day for the Filipino to gather and let our voices be heard.
I joined the event, though I am alone I never felt like one while standing and roaming around the Luneta Park listening to different groups discussion, and observing them.

While standing there, I proved these two things to myself.

• The Social Media is very powerful, and the march proved that we, normal Filipino citizen who spend hours sharing our ideas and selfies on social media is walking our talk and standing on our decisions and opinions about abolishing that stinky Pork Barrel. This march proved everyone that the people on social media is serious about fighting this long-history of pork barrel corruption and the government should take this seriously.
  
• Filipino loves it country, and this movement to cleanse the system is one proof of that. I often heard that other country said that we lack nationalism, and I am proud to say that you are wrong, we do love it and this proves our passion to change the corrupt government. The lack of nationalism is an effect of the lack of trust that the Filipino's have to our government. 

I have to admit that I don't really trust rallies or anything like this because I do know that masses can be paid. Those political rallies before where they shout and carry large signs, half of the people there are paid a hundred or two just to shout, so i don't they have credibilities but I don't blame the peole who got paid there because for them, it is a job and a mean for them to fed their families.

Standing their and looking at families, group of friends, students and different organizations makes me feel the unity of the people in full sincerity. I am not paid to go there, wear white and listen but I went because I know in some way I am making a difference, and the people whom I meet also feels like that. 

I didn't finished the whole rally, and went home early because I needed to ran some errands, but I also felt proud when they said that the park is litter-free after the event. I am happy because it also shows the normal people accountability and it is different from the normal news of litter-everywhere (because of the paid rallies >.<)

I feel happy and proud that I joined this, and I keep supporting the change the we wanted to see not only because I am a tax-payer (but that played a big part) but I also wanted to see a better place for my sister and the future Filipino's.

So at the end of my day, what does this march means?

I think aside from cleansing the government, and serve us what we deserve (because the money is ours in the first place), this march means that everyone is united to make the right change and a wake up call to the government who promises to obey it's bosses command. It means that the silence and patience we give to them has reached it's limit and today, we demand to seek the truth and received what we deserved.

I didnt finished the event but I spent so much time on social media and wanted to share my opinions on some popular question/reactions:

Do I want President Aquino to resign? Why?

 - No. If he will resign, who will take his position? Another corrupt government official, I am tired with that process, let's end it please. I do actually love that this will be cleanse under the Aquino government because it do came from his own mouth that we are his boss, we will fight the corruption, we will make sure that those who do wrong things will be punished and I am waiting for him to stand on his slogan 'Daan na matuwid'. I do think that the worse thing it can happen to a person is bite back what he had said, and the public will knows it.

What can I say to those who wanted the Snap Election?

- Dear countrymen, we are in a democratic country, and mostly the people who are shouting this are the same people who put him into this position. And again, if we will have a snap election, who will take his seat? Does that person will really support our cause? I don't think so. Let's just asked the government to do what they had promised.

What can I say to Aggabao statement "PDAF is not for them. It is for the class, the dirt poor"

- We do know that, and that is not the reason why we went to Luneta. We go there because we wanted the stinky pork barrel to be scrapped and ensure that the taxes we pay goes directly to the social services that is intended to our countrymen who needs it most. I don't think he understand the feeling of seeing your payslip get deducted for thousands of your hard-earned money and watched on media that these money didnt help your countrymen but let the people in the government buy mansions and high-end cars. As a tax payer, we demand to know where our money goes, and that is a normal thing. Actually on a normal transactions, you get a receipt of what you pay for. Don't talk if you will only dig your own grave.

What can I say about Lacierda?

- Shut up please :) You're not helping your administration, you're just making things blow out of proportion. Many times people have said, pick the right words because if you messed it up, and your crowd is a very sensitive and intellectual people, they will pry you for what you said. Enough pacifying us please, we have our own mind and we do undertand what you mean, the problem here is that you don't understand what we mean :D

What can I say about the Legislative branch who keep insisting that only those who misused it should be banned to use the pork barrel system, and we should not generalized.

- Well, dear law makers, there are three brances of the Philippine Government, The Executive, The Legislative and The Judiciary. Each is a separate entity to ensure accountability. Your work is to create law for the people, update it to ensure we are protected. It doesnt included on your job role to think how you will help on funding the projects because your role is to make laws. There are so many outdated law on our constitution, and what are you doing? Sitting there and talking with different people? Arent you guys ashamed? We an ordinary people, who pay taxes, goes to work everyday, and spent more than 8 hours on our offices. We work and make improvement everyday to the people whom we worked with, while you seating there getting money from us, isnt that unfair? 

And if you really wanted to help us, please pass a useful law and make sure that they have claws to capture the people who do wrong, unless you are afraid that you will get bitten if you will do your job well.

To my countrymen, let's not stop fighting corruption.We have started now, let's end it aswell :D

Godbless our country.

Love the Philippines

Fight Corruption

Punished those needed to be punished.

It's time to change the decade of dirty politics

Dear Noynoy,

Ngayon ay ginugunita natin ang kamatayan ng iyong bayaning ama, hindi pa ako buhay noong mga panahong iyon pero humahanga ako sa katapangan at pagmamahal nya sa bayan. Hindi kita binoto noong eleksyon dahil hindi ko naman makita ang iyong kwalipikasyon bukod sa anak ka ni Ninoy. Marami sigurong magtatanong sa akin bakit ko nasabi yun, sino nga ba naman ako, ano ang alam ko. Pero marunong naman akong umintindi, at ang desisyon ko sa pagboto ay nakadepende sa kung ano ang nabasa ko tungkol sa mga nagawa ng mga kandidato bago pa sila magpasa ng COC. Oo, isa ako sa mga taong nagtataka bakit andami pa din sa ating mamayan ang hindi natuto sa mga nangyari sa nakaraan pero sabi nga nila, bigyan ka natin ng benefit of the doubt, baka nga naman may mga pagbabago kaming makikita at mararanasan sa administrasyon mo.

Noong unang SONA mo noong 2010, ang natatandaan kong tinalakay mo ang badyet ng bansa at sinabi mong malaki sa atin ang nawala at kung saan saang tanggapan ito nawala. Sabi mo pa nga 

"Sa administrasyon po natin, walang kota-kota, walang tongpats, ang pera ng taumbayan ay gagastusin para sa taumbayan lamang."

Ikaw din ang nagsabi na pananagutin natin ang corrupt sa gobyerno, dahil and administrasyon mo ay nasa daang matuwid at kami ang boss mo.

Ilang linggo ko nang sinusubaybayan ang mga ulat tungkol sa Pork Barrel Scam, kung san napupunta ang buwis ng mga ordinaryong mamayan na katulad ko. Isa sa mga mga kiniinisan ko sa nakalipas na linggo ay noong ikompara mo pa ang Fertilizer Fund Scam sa Pork Barrel issue ngayon. Sa mga nakalipas na taon na nasa katungkulan ka, lagi ko na lamang naririnig na malaki ang nawala noong nakaraan administrasyon, minana mo lamang ang lahat ng ito (problema) sa nakaraang administrasyon, puro na lang nakaraang administrasyon. Hindi pa pwedeng ang marining naman namin ay, ganito ang gagawin natin, wag na nating tingnan ang nakaraan at baguhin natin ang kasalukuyan. Pero hindi, puro paninisi na lamang, paano tayo uunlad kung lagi na lang ang maririnig namin sayo ay paninira o pagdedepensa na lahat ng ito ay dahil sa nakaraang administrasyon? 

Kahit naman mas maliit din ang nawawala sa gobyerno, hindi naman piso or limang piso ang pinag-uusapan natin, milyong piso na galing sa bulsa at pinaghirapan ng mga ordinaryong mamayan na katulad ko at sa paningin namin, hindi maliit ang tawag doon. Milyong piso na pinakinabangan ng iilang tao na nasa administrasyon mo, milyong piso na pinagpawisan, pinagpaguran ng milyon milyong ordinaryong Pilipino para itulong sana sa iba ring Pilipino. 

Hindi ko alam kung naiintindihan mo bakit madaming katulad ko ang naglalabas ng sama ng loob sa mga social media at nais na mapakulong ang mga taong dapat na maparusahan. Hindi rin ako sigurado kung naranasan mo ang mga pinagdadaanan ng libo-libong mamayan para lamang kumita ng pera pangtustos sa pangangailangan ng pamilya nila. Madaming OFW ang iniiwan ang pamilya para lamang kumita ng pera, madaming tao ang nagtitiyaga sa pang-gabing trabaho para lamang kumita ng mas malaki, madaming tao ang sinusugod ang baha at ulan makapasok lamang, o kaya naman ay hindi ini-inda ang sakit ng katawan. Buwan buwan,  nagababayad kami ng buwis mula sa mga pinaghirapan namin kasi gusto rin namin na umasenso ang bansang kinalalagyan namin, gusto namin makatulong kahit na minsan kulang na din ang aming sahod para sa arawaraw naming pangangailangan. Tapos ganito ang makikita at malaman namin? Ang lahat ng pinag-hihirapan namin, pinambibili ng mansyon, kotseng at pinang-gagala lang sa ibang bansa ng mga taong kahit kailan ay hindi naman naghirap para sa perang iyon. 

Sabi mo diba na kami ang boss mo, at ito ang pagkakataon natin na magkaroon ng daang matuwin. Kung talagang may paninindigan ka, at totoo ka sa iyong hangarin na tulungan ang bansa, sana maparusahan ang mga taong katulad ni Janet Lim, at siya na rin mismo, kahit sino pa sila. Sana ipakita mo sa amin, kahit sa kahuli-hulihang sentimo kung saan napunta ang buwis namin, wag kang mag-alala madaling gumawa ng oras para tingnan at basahin lahat ng iyon. Kung maari nga, tanggalin mo na ang Pork Barrel sa mga Senador at Kongresista, diba ang trabaho nila ay gumawa ng batas? Bakit hindi na lang doon ang pagtuunan nila ng pansin, at hayaan ang mga lokal na namumuno ang tumulong sa mga nasasakupan nila? Sa dami ng mga batas na dapat nilang baguhin, pagtibayin at gawin wala na silang panahon na hawakan ang ganyang kalaking pondo, o nagtatrabaho nga ba talaga sila? May mga paraan naman siguro para masigurado na ang buwis namin ay napupunta kung saan talaga nararapat. Hindi naman siguro ganoon kahirap ang hiling namin dahil nais lang namin makita ang sinasabi mong tuwid na landas.

Kung kami nga ang boss mo, sana makita namin na pinagsisilbihan mo nga kami at hindi mo pinagtatakpan ang mga tao sa administrasyon mo.

Kami ang nawawalan, kaya sana kami ang mas isipin mo.

Marami ka na nga rin sigurong nagawa na hindi ko pinag-tutuunan ng pansin.
May mga nabago ka nga siguro na magiging maganda sa atin.

Pero hindi ba't mas magana siguro kung masasagot mo din ang tanong ng lahat patungkol sa pork barrel at mapaparusahan talaga ang mga dapat maparusahan?

Hanggang dito na lamang ang liham na ito. Marahil ay hindi mo ito mababasa dahil sa dami ng mga katulad ko na gusto kang kausapin, pero malay natin.

Nagmamahal,

Isa sa libo libong taong nagtatrabaho limang beses sa isang linggo, pumapasok na mukhang basang sisiw pag maulan, at nasusunog tuwing darating ang tag-araw para lamang kumita ng pera at may ipambayad sa buwis

For the past week, I am hooked with two of PhilPop finalist entries titled 'Dati' and 'Sometimes That Happen' though I also love all the other entries but this two stuck in my head.

Dati by Thyro and Yumi

Sung by: Sam Conception, Tippy Dos Santos and Quest

*This is the winning song <3*

Sometimes That Happen by Adrienne Sarmiento and Nino Regalado

Sung by: Ace Libre of Never The Stangers

While listening to the whole playlist, I wonder when am I that I didn't know about this and realized that I've been busy listening to foreign songs >.< 

I feel so sad at that thought actually because I do love OPM, and I think no one can beat anything that you grew up with, we are all subjective here ^^. I admit that for the past years, I've been hooked by a foreign artist and I am a Korean-pop fangirl but on the contrary half of my playlist is still OPM but non of them are recent. Aside from these songs, the recent one came from Himig Handog which is months ago.

Though I learned about PhilPop this late, I do admire them because they are encouraging us, Filipino's to submit an original composition and let the nation hear it. I think if our music industry will produce these kind of songs, and our radio station will play this (and not those trashy rap that shouldn't be played because they convey wrong messages to the kids), the younger generation will appreciate the OPM music more.

This actually promotes Nationalism ^^ 

If you wanted to know more about this you can check the Rappler post about this.

And yes, I do agree with them that OPM mostly is about love song, a sad love song in a happy or heart clenching melody ^^ 

Listen to the complete playlist here:

and please buy the album on any near music store ^^ Let's support OPM!

My best friend and I were having this random conversation about My Husbands Lover of GMA Channel 7 when I decided to post some reason why it is worth it your evening.

1. The story is plain in simple. 
Vincent is a closet gay who has an affair with his former flame (Eric) while being married to Lally. There are no other complications that our usual telenovela has, and I do hope that they wouldn't add so many palabok just to extend the story.

2. It depicts reality.
Though our sociaty is more acceptable to the people on third gender, we cannot deny that the social stigma on this issue is still existing. There are still parents who cannot accept that their son, or only son is not the person they wants to have, thus making it hard for the child to admit without feeling so ashame and burdensome and sometimes leads them to hide what they trully are. This thing happen, I know some people who's undetected by the gaydar because they have master the art of pretention, and you wouldn't know it unless they tell you.

3. Everyone is a great actor (Yes, I am talking about Lally, Vincent and Eric).
I don't know who was Tom Rodriguez until I watched this drama, I don't think Karla is a great actress too based from her previous drama's, though I always like Dennis, I also wonder if he can portray his role very well. After watching it, I realized how great they are. Yes, Dennis and Tom convinced me that they are gay, and I really want to give Karla that godd**n water when she was bawling on the hospital.

4. The lines are awesome! (Winner!)
Gay linggo are always funny, witty and so colorful, that is why I do love everytime Eric and his best friend have their conversation, which is full of fairies and rainbows :P

My siblings and I were watching a local program that features various topics, from animals, to food, to social issues etc.
I am not a socially responsible person, nor someone who would go all out on the street to fight for someone's right but I always share my two cents on the topic that caught my attention.

One of the program topic is about a guy who couldn't accept that his little brother because he is gay. As if being gay is a big sin. I came from a catholic family, I do consider myself as a believer of him, but I am not closed minded.

I don't like it that the older brother treat his younger brother as if he was sick. There is nothing wrong for being gay. They are amazing creatures, to be honest they are self-sufficient, funny but more often that not left lonely.

Why people treat the third sex as if they are not the same kind of people that the heterosexual is composed of? They are living things as well, they breathe, they have their own rights and opinion and they have feelings too. Why some people have this set of crazy and inhumane standards? I often wondered why there are peoples who still thinks they are superior because they are not gays, for me they are a bunch of closed minded people who are so unsure of themselves.

I've heard it often, and yes I do agree. Being gay is not a choice, they are born like that, and there is nothing wrong with it.

And if you were asking me what will I feel if a person so close to me suddenly say he's gay, I would be shocked of course (especially if s/he is a good actor), but I would celebrate it because atleast one person finally have the courage to admit in this cruel world who he is, and I would let him feel that atleast one person is happy that he is happy :)

So for those people who will say its a sin, I don't think Papa God is that closed minded as you are :P and you are him to judge if its a sin or not, you could be morally right based on your standards, but they are also human according to the every person's right on each country's constituition so keep your close minded thoughts inside your skull while we are having the greatest time of our life in pink tutu's and ribbons!

Most of the girls dreamed to walk the aisle in one day, in white wedding dress holding a beautiful bouquet and looking at the man she decided to take forever with waiting at the end of the aisle in his dashing suit and gorgeous smile.

Her journey to her new life and forever after will be accompanied by the songs they both love or very precious to them, which makes the whole ceremony magical.

I know each one of us have this mental list of what to play when that time come. This is a secret, I never imagined myself in a wedding gown walking down the aisle but I can't help thinking that these songs will be perfect if ever one day (a) I finally realize that I wanted to get married (b) someone help me realize that I wanted the option a, (c) my friends bugs me for wedding songs :)

So without definite order, here's what I wanted to play :P

I Can Love You Like That by John Michael Montgomery
There is the All4One version of this, which I am much familiar with but after listening to JMM, I seriously think that this is suitable for that special occasion + the great cheesy lyrics. ^^

I love the way you love me - Boyzone
This might be perfect for an anniversary song or for old couples but I think this shows the reality of how sappy, crazy, slow and what are not a woman is, yet despite all of this he loves you <3.

At the Beginning (Anastasia Sound Track) - Richard Marx and Donna Lewis
I always dubbed this at the perfect wedding song :) Listen to it and you will know why, aside from I am one of the those who sincerely love Disney tracks ^^

Rivers and Road by The Heart and The Head
Because I am a Chuck fan and this song is something I cannot help but include <3

While wasting some my precious life surfing the internet, I come across this lovely post by 8list.ph, a Filipino website where it takes different things that complete the set of 8, most of them talks things Pinoy style!

I think among there post includes the 8 life lesson from Candy Crush, and if Iron Man is Pinoy :)
Though I really love their site, and I have my own favorite 8list, this one tops them:

8 LIFE LESSONS TO LEARN BEFORE 30

I am on the start of my career and like what they say, knowing is half the battle ^^

So young professionals like me, read and learn ^^ so we would enjoy the rest of our journey!

What is secret of  long lasting relationship?

It is another Sunday evening when my best friend and  I were discussing random stuff when we came across this topic. She’s in a four year relationship and still going strong, while I on the other hand is the group resident proud single member and advocate the women power J

Our answer is actually connected, she said that both of you should have the same topak or in much understandable term, you should be in the same wave length of understanding. She doesn't mean you think alike, or be in the same kind, but it's more about how you can understand each other’s thought and action.

My answer is simple, it’s all about in the communication.

I think it is connected because most of the time, you cannot communicate well with someone who cannot see your point of view, and misunderstanding often causes of mis-communication. We maybe too young to said this word, and I may be too inexperience but we don’t need much wisdom to understand simple things and we think that relationship is pretty simple, only if you are not to complicated to deal with it.

But this questions have different answers, you, what do you think is the secret?

If this isn't too much, I would love to hear your answer ^^

Yeah, kill me for being so lazy haha, I was planning to post this after the concert but my laziness takes over T.T

Yes, nanonood ako ng Vice Ganda concert last May 17 kasama yung mga best friend ko at mga ka-officemate nya.

Technically, pangalang beses ko pa lang tong manonood ng live Pinoy act concert na may ticket ako, First is the Eheads concert na wala kaming ticket dahil sold out na. 

And hindi naman talaga ako fans din nya, niyaya lang ako ng best friend ko so nagyes lang din ako.

The whole concert is okay, B+ if you're asking for the rating.

Nakakatuwa naman sya actually, napakadaming times akong tumawa sa mga sinasabi nya pero at the same time napakadaming beses din akong napa-pikit at takip sa tenga dahil sa green jokes nya.

Well, sabi nga ng kapatid ko, si Vice Ganda yan eh, si ako naman, malay ko ba, sumasama lang ako sa gala haha.

Hindi ako maka-alala ng something na nagstand out talaga sa akin dahil gustong gusto ko sya, aside sa narinig ko ng live si Regine Velasques at nakakahinga ako sa lugar na kasama ni Paolo Avelino haha. Pero madaming bagay ang na-aalala ko na medjo negative, at mas madami dun ay related sa management mismo.

1. Like what I said, medyo below the belt yung mga green jokes nya (Hindi na ako nagtaka dun sa issue with Jessica Soho), Hindi ko alam kung ako lang yun, pero may mga green jokes sya na masama na sa tenga, and that came from an adult like me. May mga bata na nanonood din sa kanila, so sana man lang nung nagbebenta sila ng ticket, nag PG-13 sila dahil alam naman nilang may mga di suitable for children. My younger sister wanted to go din that time, buti na lang di ko sinama or else I will let my younger sister hear some stuff that wasn't suitable for her.

2. Di sana sila nagbenta ng sobrang daming ticket T.T Nasa dulo kami ng Upper Box A nakaupo, and in the middle of her Senator Act, may susunduin kami ng best friend ko, so as usual dadaan kami sa aisle unless marunong kaming lumipad. Madaming tao ang nakaupo na sa stairs ng Isle at dun mismo sa stairs pababa. I keep saying, "excuse me" but it seems madaming bingi so muntik na akong mapaaway dahil I really can't stand rude people. Hindi ko alam kung san ako maiinis, sa tao ba or sa management. Madalas akong manood ng concert, pero first time lang nangyari na nag-excuse ka na, galit pa sila T.T 

3. The ending is off T.T Or the way Vice delivers his good bye speech is too sad that it immediately change my mood from being happy about some of his jokes to not so interested one. Sabi nga ng best friend ko, malamang mali ng pagkakadeliver lang or at least the phrasing pero I hope next time, the ending part should be much jollier at least masabi din ng mga di naman fan na tulad ka na 'I enjoyed it'.

Don't kill me kung di nyo nagustuhan yung sinabi ko, this is a subjective post from someone who watched more international act than local one and yung mga concert na yun ay nakakapagod at nakakawala ng boses. 

Like what I said to my best friend that night, Vice Concert is the calmest concert act na napuntahan ko at hindi ko kailangan uminom ng salabat for the next days or umiwas sa malamig. 

Pero experience wise, yes I think worth it naman. But I don't think I will watch another concert from him :) Next time si Wally at Jose naman ang nasa list ko. Peace!

I've come across this clever story on facebook:

A wise man sat in the audience and cracked a joke.

Everybody laughs like crazy.

After a moment, he cracked the same joke again,

Less people laughed this time,

After some time, he cracked the same joke again and again,

Until there is no laughter can be heard in the crowd and look at him as if he have gone crazy.

With those looks upon him, he smiled and said

"You can't laugh for the same joke again and again, so why do you keep crying for the same thing over and over again?"

It's not wrong to cry, it's actually okay to cry a river or be crazy about crying for some time but I think we should remember that after we release those drops of waters from our eyes we need to get up our lazy ass, pick up all those tissues we have used, clean ourself and get over it.

We shouldn't wallow in sadness, pity or any negativity for a long time because the world is changing, its evolving. And us, human beings cannot freeze in time. 

Like the story said, we can't laugh at the same thing over again, so why we would be bother by crying for the same things again and again? Do something, whatever it is, just do something until you can remember that same things and laugh at it.

If there is one thing that everyone should wish for, its not peace, I think it should be kindness.
A trait where everyone should possess to achieve the peace we always wanted to have.

I do believe that everyone is kind in their own way, in their own time and in their own sense but most of the time we, people mask it.
We mask it in order to protect ourselves, and I cannot blame anyone about that.

I wasn't leaving so long in this life to say so many profound things but I lived long enough to understand why they say that the world is a one big jungle, and you need to think of yourself first. It wasn't easy being kind when there is a chance that people will betray you in the end, and at the end of the day it will be your fault for being so 'kind'. It wasn't easy standing on decision to be kind when you know that you will be hurt by the same reason. And we are all human here, we have our weakness and most of us are afraid of pain, especially emotional pain.

I have tried hardening my heart and be much wiser. By this I mean choosing the people whom I will be nice, and choose whose I will treat kind enough not be tagged as rude. But doing this, and observing what I feel makes me sad because I feel like betraying this child inside of me. This child that always believes that people are nice in nature and it will forever be that way but most of the time they hide it and I wanted to show them that it is okay to be kind :)

Though the earth is a big jungle and we can see it more clearly now that we are on the working class but if you observe people, just observe and you can still see that there are still people who are kind but not giving the spot light because we are busy looking at the things we think is much important.
I hope one day we could see on the telly, that 50% of the shows talks about kindness, I bet people will be much happier to be tagged as kind (and not as a weakling because they are kind)

I was browsing my facebook and tumblr and I can't help but feel envy to my friends who went out of the country, currently relaxing in the beach wearing a bikini and doing jumpshots yet here I am, in the comfort of my bed waiting for Running Man to load properly so I can watch the latest episode. But since I am not the type to wallow on self-pity tell that to the marines ellen :P and wanted to post something I decided to write about the everything I will do or I wanted to have in my second life as the crazy me.

No, I will not say I am okay with what and proud of it because I will not deprived myself for a little reality vacation :P and unleashed my crazy imagination. And it's just a fun imaginative game, don't kill the fun and make your own too :) 

If I will be reborn again, and Papa God asked me what I want when I grow up I will tell him these:

• Please make me taller. I stand 4'11 now, though Asian race is not that tall and I think I will be forever the cute little sister most of my friends love, I still think that being in the 5 range is amazing. Honestly I wanted to stand 5'5 atleast so I can do modelling and try being a flight steward :D And would'nt it be amazing to do jumpshots with long legs? hehehehe
• Please make me thinner, or someone that have a body type that won't get fat easily. Though my friends said that I am not that fat and I do think so, but since I am short, a little addition to my weight is really obvious. P.S I am starting to strictly follow a diet now T.T
• Please let my parents have a better job so they can provide more to us and let us enroll on the classes I never knew existed when I was a child. I do love my parents and the life they give me, but I feel envy when I saw some of the people I met do these stuff because they can afford it.

Aside from these, I like the way my life is right now. I love my face though it's not so good currently because of pimples but still I never wanted to change anything except my height and weight :P I also love the people I have in my life too and I will never trade them for anyone ^^

Though my list if really short and not so entertaining, I wish you could create your list too and then think if those things really matter because I know mine doesn't but it will be great if I can have those too :P

Again and again and again and again

Nuh eh maleh ddo sok a weh geulunji molla weh geulunji molla

If you listen to KPOP, I bet that you have heard the lyrics above, and if you are a fangirl/boy you might know the song title and currently repeating the word again and again and again with hand gestures :P

OkKat and My Concert Ticket :P

Last March 2, I had a chance to see them perform live! L.I.V.E. XD at SM MOA Arena and I realized two things.

1. They really live up to their claim that they are Beastly Idols.
2. And 2PM is really the HOTTEST time of the day.

I watched the Bigbang Concert last October and If I will compare the number of their audience, Bigbang will be the winner. But, in defense to 2PM, I really don't know how the producer promote this event because in my opinion, there are not enough preparations. BB announces their schedule almost 4 months prior to their concert date which gives the fans enough time to save a GenAd seat. 2PM announces their concert 2 months   prior to the date and they sell their ticket some days more than a month of the concert date. Fangirls outside Manila cannot book their flight immediately and no more time to save. As a result most of the concert attendees move a seat from what they bought. My bestfriend, her friend and I bought a GenAd ticket but we sat at the UpperBox seat. It's a luck that I am happy with but I am worried how the boys will react and how will we able to tell them that Philippines love them and we want another concert. 

So in order to let them know what we want, we screamed to the top of our voices. Our own way to let them know that the numbers are important but the loud screams and happy cheers matters too. I swear I almost feel my throat was bleeding because I was screaming like a mad person. After the concert, I can't speak because my voice breaks that you can't understand what I am saying. My usual voice came back almost four days after the concert and I drank too many ginger juice and avoided cold water T.T

Aside from my two realization, I feel lucky to witness an amazing fanservice by them that I really wish some artist will do if they have the chance to perform for their Filipino Audiences. Some of the fanservices I witnessed

• They provided Tagalog translations to their talks which is a very big deal to me because most of the audience cannot understand Korea aside from the usual phrases and doing this makes me feel as a fan that I am closer to them. Though they have English Speaking members that can do the talks but they really did their best to feel closer to the Filipino Hottest, though there are mistranslated words (pagkalalaki anyone?) but its minimal that you can still understand them and the translator at the end of the concert give off an unprofessional-ism because she keeps on stuttering.
• They allow get the fan cams in mosh pit and took a picture of them with the camera owner. Goodness! If I am one of those luck people, the people around me will be happier because I won't change my desktop background for 6 months.
• They give panda stuff toys to the audience. And I feel so lonely knowing I don't have the chance to get one since I sat on the upper box level which is impossible for them to throw those cute panda stuff toys T.T
• Their fanletter really touches my heart T.T And they are so awesome to that clip too T.T My heart can't choose who she loves dearest because they are all ultra handsome. Note, the letter is in tagalog too! I wonder who wrote that because it is handwritten. I hope its Wooyoungie!
• WooYoung lead while the rest of the members also sang one of the famous Filipino children song, Tong Tong Tong Pakitong kitong that made the audience, including me giggles in glee and excitedly sang to a very familiar song that we don't sang anymore.
• They used tagalog words as much as they can, though I know it's common but them memorizing too much tagalog word is not that easy since they need to practice and travel altogether. I would not forget when Junho said he's 'Gutom' (hungry) after that he immediately said that Filipino's are 'magaganda' (beautiful). My bestfriend friend suddenly blurt out that he's bluffing because we are pretty when he's hungry :P

Saying that I enjoy the concert is an understatement because I really have FUN in capital words :P

Though I will admit that I really feel that I am a girl at that moment and I wanted to devour them because they are so hot, manly, handsome and awesome but I know my place so it will only be a dream even I wanted to think its possible because I know its not :P

My company that time is a group of girls like me too and I sincerely understand why we are talking as if we are maniacs because you really can't help but feel like one when you see them in person. While watching the concert I was wondering how in this world a men like them exists and they are all koreans. They are handsome, buff, tall, singers and all of the adjectives you can think of that synonymous to GORGEOUS. Watching them dance and sing makes me realized that Korean Entertainment is not joking when they called them beastly idols because they are BEAST, in a good way and you couldn't help but be like Belle and fall for them. And they are right saying that it is the Hottest time of the day because even our clothes have their own lives that they wanted to get out of their main purpose (to cover us up) while we are getting overly excited singing along with this amazing men.

Since I already said they are hot, as in coal burning hot! So it's okay to say that we think if they were gigolo's in real life, they will be millionaire because their body is really great! It's specially amazing when you saw them with your two eyes, thought its only for Chansung but I seriously think that you will forget your sanity when you saw them. I've realized that the known Filipino quote "Laglag Undies" could be true T.T They are drop dead gorgeous!

Aside from their bodies, faces and fanservice I love their performances too :P I never doubt the live voices of Korean Artist because I know they are a product of their training years but I am still amaze how similar their live voices to their recorded one. Though you can hear breathing but its minimal that you wonder how they workout in order to dance their amazing choreography while singing so beautifully.

I am so happy that I really can't get over with this for weeks, which is also the reason why I am only posting it now. I think that this is the best birthday gift that came from my brother (he's the one who bought my ticket because I'm broke). I thanked my bestfriend too for non stop encouraging me to watch because I will feel so bad for missing a great concert like this one :P
