50 Universal Truths about Men

2008-01-18T19:12:00.000-08:00

1. Why should I remind you that “I love you?” I already told you once.

2. I’ll do anything for sex; even commit to you for life.

3. I hate arguing with you. I’d much rather find a compromise.

4. I love long hair. Sorry, but I do.

5. When you speak softly, I can’t help but listen.

6. I need to be told “no” sometimes. Not a lot, but every now and again reminds me that you are expensive.

7. Please don’t ask me how you look unless you’re willing to trust my answer.

8. My eyes notice other women a lot more when you are upset with me.

9. When you’re happy with me I can’t help but want to please you.

10. If I don’t feel I can make you happy, it makes me feel less than a man.

11. I expect you to be ready when I pick you up.

12. Cigarettes make any woman look cheap and easy.

13. I'm scared if I let a woman inside my heart, she'll take advantage of me.

14. If you can’t stand up to me when I’m a brat, you’re too weak for me to open up to when I’m upset.

15. Sitting quietly next to me after you’ve made me a meal is your get-out-of-the-doghouse-free ticket. You’ll be surprised how quickly I can forgive.

16. You did something hurtful. If I never bring it up, I’m considering leaving you.

17. I don’t read minds. Remember, I’m not a girl.

18. You may know fashion, but I wish you’d dress to please me, not other women.

19. If I’m losing my hair, it’s not funny. Would you like me to joke about your weight?

20. When I talk to you about golf and you act bored, it would be nice for you to remember all the times I listened to you talk about what is important to you.

26. I need some type of signal or cue to walk across the room and approach you. What if you’re married!?

27. It makes me feel like you trust me when you ask for my advice.

28. It feels competitive when you insist on being in charge.

29. Being respected is more important to me that being loved.

30. I want every guy to envy me when we arrive as a couple. Please don’t let yourself go.

31. When I’m upset I am very tone sensitive. How you say it is more important that what you say..

32. I hate it when you minimize/ignore my compliments. It makes me what to stop giving them.

33. I’m more insecure than you think. Why do you think I need your respect so much?

34. I don’t always know how I feel. That’s why I don’t tell you.

35. I don’t need you to do things for me. What I crave is being able to please you.

36. If I do one thing and say something contradictory – Go with my actions, that will always tell you what’s in my heart.

37. I find myself wanting to please you when you simply smile at me without asking for something. (Like a favor).

38. I really don’t want to hear about any of your ex-boyfriends, regardless of the point.

39. If I don’t share what I’m thinking it’s because I don’t think you will listen without interrupting.

40. I don’t like to argue and I don’t like to guess what’s wrong. Just tell me so I can fix it.

41. I love it when you put your hair in a pony tail. Yes, it’s a Freudian thing.

42. Don’t ask me, “Are you going to wear that?” when I’m already dressed.

43. A gentleman should always be respected by his lady in public, even if she is disagreeing with him.

44. If you don’t believe you’re pretty , you won’t believe me when I tell you, no matter how many times I say it.

45. It isn’t how much you weigh; what's attractive is whether body is proportionate.

46. Sometimes I have weird and strange thoughts. I don’t take them seriously and I don’t want to share them with you (or anyone).

47. Sometimes you really don’t want to know what I’m thinking. See above.

48. If you cheat on me, it is nearly impossible for me to get over it.

49. I don’t remember everything about our relationship and that doesn’t mean I don’t love you.

50. I need some time to myself to calm down when I’m upset so that I don’t say something I will regret.

Effects of sleep deprivation

2008-01-12T17:02:00.000-08:00

because of the stress from school, my blockmates and i lack the enough time for sleep...and it is bad!

Studies have shown that the optimum amount of sleep a person should get each night is seven to eight hours. Sleep deprivation has a definite effect on learning, memory, and the ability to think clearly. If a person is not able to get a full night’s sleep after learning something new, he will not remember the new knowledge well. He will not fully assimilate the new ideas or task until he is able to go through a complete night of uninterrupted sleep cycles.

Different parts of the brain are rested and regenerated during different phases of sleep. During some phases of sleep, the neurons in the cerebral cortex regenerate. If sleep is interrupted so that this regeneration cannot occur, speech may be affected, since the temporal lobe of the brain is what controls speech. People who do not get enough sleep often have slurred speech. There is also measurably less activity in their temporal lobes than in those of well-rested people.

During REM sleep, memories are consolidated and categorized by the brain. New synaptic connections are also formed during REM sleep, aiding learning. If REM sleep is cut short, long-term memory may be affected and new knowledge might not be retained. Conversely, short-term memory might be better in the sleep deprived person because the part of the brain that controls short-term memory has never gone off-line, and the memories are still fresh.

Sleep deprived people are much more accident-prone than well-rested people. This is partly due to the person being groggy or sleepy due to lack of rest. It is also partly due to the fact that sleep deprived people tend to fall into sleep for very brief periods at unforeseen times. These brief periods of sleep are the body’s way of making up for its lack of sleep the night before. This is especially serious if the person is driving a car or operating a piece of machinery.

The person deprived of sleep will find it difficult to concentrate. This will affect his performance at work and at household tasks. The person will also experience a lack of energy. He might not have the energy to complete everything he has to do during the day. The sleep-deprived person is likely to be quite irritable. This irritability is likely to damage both personal and business relationships.

Lack of sleep has several physical effects also. People who are chronically short of sleep have a tendency to gain weight. This weight gain can cause or exacerbate heart disease and diabetes. The body of a sleep deprived person produces less growth hormones, meaning that a sleep-deprived child might not grow and develop as he should. The immune system is weakened since the body has not had the chance to rest and repair itself.

After several weeks of severe sleep deprivation, a person might start seeing hallucinations. People have died of severe sleep deprivation in as little as four to five weeks. Sleep is as essential to the body and the mind as air and water.

who keeps me up all night

2008-01-12T04:25:00.000-08:00

with all the exhaustion from doing the strama digests and attending classes, i would really love to just sleep! but with the new korean drama, spring waltz, i can't resist the urge to watch it! haha! the story of spring waltz doesn't get me hooked that much, but who keeps me up all night is Daniel Henney! He's not the main character at the drama, pero he's just so gwapo!!!!! i didn't get to watch My Name is Kim Sam Soon before, so i don't really know him..until now!TAKTE! san ba galing yang lalakeng yan???!! haha! ayun he's just so gwapo..as in napapatili pko pag nanonood..haha...shallowness!:D

Daniel Henney (born November 28, 1979, Korean: 다니엘 헤니) is an American expatriate actor in South Korea. His father is an American of British descent and his mother is an American who was an adoptee from Korea. Henney debuted as a model in several Korean and foreign ads. He most famously co-starred in the Korean hit drama, "My Name is Kim Sam Soon".

Henney's first job in the entertainment world was modelling, in which he began in 2001 and has worked in Italy, France, Hong Kong and Taiwan. He rose to fame across Asia via his role as Dr. Henry Kim in the successful South Korean drama, My Name is Kim Sam Soon. Since then, he has starred as a multi-lingual American business executive in Seducing Mr. Perfect in 2006, the 2006 KBS drama Spring Waltz and the 2007 film My Father. *from wikipedia

"PICTURE PERFECT
Gwyneth Paltrow and model-actor Daniel Henney get close in London on Tuesday while filming a commercial for Korean clothing line Bean Pole. The ad, which will air only in Asia, is among Paltrow's first forays on-camera since giving birth to son Moses in April." *photo form people.com

Nicole Richie, Joel Madden Have a Girl

2008-01-12T04:02:00.000-08:00

Nicole Richie and her rocker boyfriend Joel Madden are the parents of a daughter, the couple's rep at Handprint Entertainment tells PEOPLE. Harlow Winter Kate Madden was born Friday at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center and weighed 6 lbs. 7 oz. "The beautiful healthy baby girl left the hospital with her ecstatic parents," says the rep, who confirmed the birth to PEOPLE exclusively.Richie, 26, said she was pregnant in July, telling Diane Sawyer on Good Morning America: "I would really want to be someone my child would look up to." Later, Richie, who had a famously wild childhood, said the idea of parenthood had made her more mature. "When I found out that I was pregnant, there was just something inside of me that felt a responsibility to mend any issues that I've had with my parents in the past, because, listen, I've put them through a lot," she said.

As for Good Charlotte frontman Madden, 28, he told PEOPLE in November he was looking forward to being a dad. "Having a baby is the most exciting thing that's ever happened to me, and to us," he said. And the new parents plan to teach their little one the value of generosity. In December, the couple started the Richie Madden Children's Foundation to help the less fortunate. "We want our child to be a part of the community, and to know that there's a responsibility to help the community," Madden said at the time.

The couple have yet to set a wedding date, but in September Madden said "marriage is in our future" – he just wasn't sure when. "Right now our priority is our family and is the baby," he said. "That's all we've been thinking about. We are in love and are really happy."

2008-01-06T19:25:00.000-08:00

i am a fan of dawson's creek..so i think its natural for me to become a fan of katie holmes..i like her sweet and wholesome portrayal of joey potter..but ever since she became the significant other of tom cruise, she began to change..for the better! from the girl next door to one hot momma..i think victoria beckham is another influence in her changing fashion sense...why not judge base on these pics?

ray ban wayfarers

2008-01-05T19:26:00.000-08:00

this sunglasses are from the 80's..and now they're "in" again..and hollywood celebrities are seen wearing them everywhere..here in the phils., i have seen wayfarers but not really from ray ban..in short, fakes or imitations..i think if i will wear this, parang retro! takte! but i think it would not look good on me haha!

here's mischa barton, sienna miller, lindsay lohan, ashlee simpson and kate moss wearing the black ray ban wayfarers..

in fairness, i like avril's red wayfarers..i read that it was a limited edition..(daw!)

skinny jeans for men?!

2008-01-05T04:04:00.000-08:00

almost everyone is wearing a pair of skinny jeans...and if you will shop for a new pair of jeans, more likely you will be buying the skinny ones because most of the stores are selling those jeans..for women, i think skinny jeans are fine..but for men??im not sure..i remember when i was in high school, the korean boys would wear black skinny pants as their uniform..and we call them "baston" hehe..but during our consti fieldtrip, we saw this guy at the house of representatives wearing skinny jeans.. and i can imagine mahalia saying "so gay!" haha! bonus pa cheeks ni finella and shoulders ni tibi! haha!

my love...for cameron diaz!

2008-01-04T04:51:00.000-08:00

my dear blockmates..:D

2008-01-04T04:36:00.005-08:00

my dear blockmates..can't help but blog about them..haha! mushy mode..i love spending time with them because they are positive and happy people..we are always laughing together about anything under the sun..didn't know that we'll be this close to each other..too bad that we've only got only (approximately) 3 months to take advantage of our college life...we love food, as you can see in this photo,,:D and people around us are always claiming that we're drunk when they see us laughing out loud, together! we don't need alcoholic drinks to be happy! i am blessed to have friends like them..

what goes around...

2008-01-03T06:04:00.000-08:00

Hey girl, is he everything you wanted in a man

You know I gave you the world

You had me in the palm of your hand

So why your love went away

I just can't seem to understand

Thought it was me and you babe

Me and you until the end

But I guess I was wrong

Don't want to think about it

Don't want to talk about it

I'm just so sick about it

Can't believe it's ending this way

Just so confused about it

Feeling the blues about it

I just can't do without ya

Tell me is this fair?

Is this the way it's really going down?

Is this how we say goodbye?

Should've known better when you came around

That you were gonna make me cry

It's breaking my heart to watch you run around

'Cause I know that you're living a lie

That's okay baby 'cause in time you will find...

What goes around, goes around, goes around

Comes all the way back around

What goes around, goes around, goes around

Comes all the way back around

What goes around, goes around, goes around

Comes all the way back around

What goes around, goes around, goes around

Comes all the way back around

Now girl, I remember everything that you claimed

You said that you were moving on now

And maybe I should do the same

Funny thing about that isI

was ready to give you my name

Thought it was me and you, babe

And now, it's all just a shame

And I guess I was wrong

2008-01-03T05:44:00.000-08:00

now i look back on the time
that we spent and

i see it in my mind

playing over and over again

cause boy right now

you got me breaking down

and i just can't figure out why

2007-08-21T05:29:00.001-07:00

My wishlist of BAGS..

2007-08-17T05:28:00.000-07:00

3 days of classes were suspended..so what would i do?there is a typhoon outside stealing all the "yero" roof of other people's houses, landslides "sliding" here and there, there's flood which could substitute as a swimming pool for everyone..with grey waters and leptos pirosis (not sure about the spelling!)...i am glad there were no classes because it has somehow relieved me of the stress from org stuffs...but i thought of our B.A. week, and all the preparations..and its sad...

anyway..as i said...i had nothing to do..so i just surfed the internet..and what else am i surfing?! bags and shoes..and i found bags which were really eye-candies! but since they are so expensive..how the hell could i own them..?! may be in the future, but not now..but that hindrance would not stop me from admiring these works of art!:)

Miu Miu Patent Effect Tote from Net-a-porter---kinda like j-ann's red bag

LV Monogram denim neo cabby MM-(when could i ever own one?!)

Marc Jacobs Silver Carolyn tote

OMG. i can't believe i would actually see one LIVE! haha

Kokology: the game of self-discovery

2007-08-07T17:26:00.000-07:00

i bought this new book called Kokology: the game of self-discovery by Tadahiko Nagao and Isamu Saito..According to the book, Kokology is a series of psychological games designed to reveal your HIDDEN attitudes about sex, family, love, work and more. i read a review from a magazine (can't remember which one) that this is a very entertaining book..so when i went to national bookstore, i tried to find this book..and well..like i said..i bought it...

the author gave some tips on how to play Kokology.. i think the most important tip was that "Say the first thing that pops into your head..". and i realized that some of the interpretations were accurate, surprisingly! haha i enjoyed reading it so much..so much that i was able to finish reading it in one day!

i read it alone..and then i realized that it would be more fun if i read it with my friends..i tried to ask some of the questions to my friend, Lisa..and we were laughing the whole time..and she also told me that it was accurate..or maybe we never realized that, that was our feelings or approach on things! i highly recommend this book!

here's one of the games.."Adrift on the breeze"..another tip to the game is that, you imagine yourself in a certain situation and then, among the choices, choose one which you will do..

"Can you still remember those long summer days when school was out, you had no responsibilities, and there was nothing but time from when you woke up till the sun finally went down? time for play and adventure, time to daydream and roam. Hours spend on childhood diversions...flying kites...watching clouds..blowing bubbles..."

"Imagine you are out again on a childhood summer's day, blowing bubbles in an open field. Which of the following best describes the scene you imagined?

1. The bubbles you blow float away high into the sky.

2. You are blowing hundreds of tiny bubbles through your plastic ring.

3. You're concentrating on blowing a single enormous bubble.

4. The bubbles you make are carried behind you on the breeze.

i chose the first one..and it says that "the shimmering bubbles you blow in your imagination are symbols of your hopes and dreams. The scene you described reveals how you think about the dreams you hope someday will come true."

again, i chose the first one..it says that "You see your own dreams as elusive and unattainable, flying away from you like soap bubbles on the wind. Maybe you're wishing for too much, too soon or are caught up in an impossible fantasy. Whatever the case may be, the gap between your dreams and reality is wide. As much as you may like to tell others of your grand schemes and plans for the future, somewhere inside yourself is a voice telling you just how fragile and fleeting those dreams are."

with that interpretation..i could say that yeah..i have big dreams that i don't think will ever come true haha...i don't know if i am being realistic hehe..but that's it..enough about that..

you will be enjoying this book!:) you will be surprised at the hidden meanings of your answers..you may think that it will be like a psychological test..but no, this is a whole lot better! and more fun...:)

Huwaaat????Madame Auring in MC?

2007-08-06T02:34:00.000-07:00

i don't know if it will actually happen..but its a possibility..that Madame Auring will be reading our fortunes on B.A. Week this coming August 13 to 17! hahahaha the B.A. Org officers are cramming because of the week left for the preparations! i only had one bazaar..can anyone help me? hehe we need 10 per org! waah..so much pressure...but still trying to cope up! aja!

then there was mikee, (our secretary) asking me if we could have a fortune teller on our bazaar..madame auring herself! OMG! haha that would be totally fun! Sikat ang B.A Week! hehe

Lindsay Lohan's Jimmy Choo Mahala bag

2007-08-04T20:03:00.001-07:00

during our international trade class last july 28, rosel gushed to me "cess alam mo yung bag ni lindsay lohan na blue? ang ganda!" and i replied "ay oo!" haha..i guessed that it was a jimmy choo bag, but i am not sure..so i googled it..and after a couple of tries, (instead of listening to our prof), i found the bag! and yeah, i am right! haha it was a jimmy choo!:) thanks to purseblog..

these photos of lindsay were taken before her arrest..what is in lindsay's mind right now?denying that she was drunk..oh c'mon! but i don't really care..i used to like her because of the Parent trap, freaky friday and mean girls..but she took her role seriously and became a mean girl in real life! tsk tsk..she has everything...sayang siya!

anyway one factor that still draws me to lindsay lohan is her choice of handbags...since she's always followed by the paparazzi, you could see that she always have a new handbag..lucky her..but only on that aspect...haha

High Heel Racing

2007-08-03T20:01:00.001-07:00

i never knew there was such a thing called High Heel Racing! i read this from Manolo's Shoe blog..i think that would be pretty cool and amusing..but reality sinks in that an average person cannot run on a pair of stilleto heels right? so with this racing comes an admiration of those women who could actually make that thing happen..which is to run on a pair of heels...

if you want to sprain your ankle, then join in this kind of race!!!

The prizes of Glamour magazine's stilleto race were 10, 000 Euros, 2,000 and 1000 euros..wow..enough for a shopping spree!

it started in Europe and i read that it is also done in Washington D.C..

Check out this clip from Berlin..where another high heel racing was conducted...

Ms. Buncio..where are you?

2007-07-16T19:24:00.000-07:00

it has been a month since we last saw ms. buncio on our class...its not nice anymore..during the first week when she was absent, we were so happy that we had some picture-picture moments at the classroom...but since last week, she's still absent..and according to dj, she was hospitalized..OMG...is it that fatal? haha to even use the word fatal to describe her situation is fatal itself..but you know...we want to have Rizal classes already!

what's worse is that, since she's gone for a month, i think our make up classes would be the worst! where would she get our grades..waah...i think she would require us to write about a thousand papers about Jose Rizal...no!!!!!she should return already..hope she gets well soon..

Reminiscing Web Design..

2007-07-06T22:44:00.000-07:00

today, its a Saturday...free cut from business law..my blockmates and i planned to attack sir yuv..because we want to surf the net desperately..we were currently deprived of that luxury...so we thought of going to the e-business lab, but they said that sir buen is having his class there..so we went to the 3rd flr, at the computer lab and look for sir yuv..but still he wasn't there...we asked the janitor about entering the room,but i think he rejected the idea..

so while waiting outside the computer lab, there was the ipis incident of tibi....and then we were able to go inside the computer lab...after a few minutes of laughter (still because of the ipis incident), there was a loud rumbling coming from the wall...and the wall was suddenly cracking...and we were screaming (most of us!)...and there stood sir yuv together with his 3rd year students!!!!

haha..anyway sir yuv is so kind to accomodate us in his class even though we're just there to bum..and to surf the net..i remember those days when we were still taking our webdesign class every friday..from 12 nn to 5pm...before, we used to despise the fact that we have a five-hour class...but at the end of the semester that was our favorite subject of all time!!!!!!!!!

because of that class, my blogger account was born..as well as other accounts from explode, elggspaces, mybloglog, technorati....

so today, we are reminiscing the "feel" or the "ambience" of our 5-hour webdesign class..how i wish we'll have another class where we could just surf the net while learning!

Louis Vuitton ads..

2007-07-04T05:16:00.000-07:00

whenever i browse through fashion magazines like Vogue, InStyle, Preview and Mega, the whole package would never be complete without a Louis Vuitton ad. Most of the time, i noticed that LV ads are placed either in the first page (the moment you open the cover of the mag) or at least within the first 10 pages..

anyway, i simply adore LV ads. Everytime i see those ads, my mouth just waters with the handbags modeled! the words coming out of my mouth are ''WOW!", "Oh my God!", "Ang ganda!"...waah..can't help but drool on those bags! And daydream, when in the future would i be able to buy an LV bag!

what does it take to be a model or spokesperson for LV? How will the ads be?

Before (2003), Louis Vuitton or any other luxury brands do not use Hollywood celebrities to advertise their products, instead they use supermodels. For example at this ad, British supermodel Gemma Ward was chosen to be the one!

And then the celebrity trend of endorsers started with Scarlett Johannson, Christina Ricci and Jennifer Lopez. JLo's ad were viewed as very sensual, the ones with the male model Andres Segura.

then, there was Uma Thurman, and surprisingly a male celebrity for LV which is Pharell Williams (wearing a wig!)...what the..?

When supermodel Kate Moss had a cocaine scandal in 2005, LV helped in making her comeback at the fashion world, through an ad of course! Here she was, modeling the (then) latest collection of LV bags with leopard prints..

My favorite LV ads were from last year's, this time with Brazilian supermodel, Gisele Bundchen, who is an ex-girlfriend of Leonardo Di Caprio by the way. Anyway i love this ad because of the rich colors of the ad. It simply signifies summer!

And last but not the least, the current LV ad featuring one of my favorite Hollywood actresses, Scarlett Johansson. It looks really girly because of the color pink, and kind of cherubic!

i noticed that LV ads always evoke sophistication, glamour, elegance and fashion itself. Anyway for more about LV, check out Tibi's blog.

Pirates of the Carribean

2007-06-27T05:20:00.000-07:00

Have you seen the third installment of Pirates?I love it! Actually i don't have that much knowledge on critiquing a film, but i appreciate it so much coming from an ordinary person's point of view. For me, this film helped the careers of Johnny Depp, Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley as well.

Johnny Depp has been acting since i don't know when..but all i know is that he's such a great actor playing weird roles from movies like Edward Scissorhands, Finding Neverland, Sleepy Hollow, and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. With numerous movies that he made (including those that i was not able to mention), did not have that much impact on the public the way Capt. Jack Sparrow did. With Pirates, he was really something, you could never ever forget Capt. Jack Sparrow. I could not imagine any other actor playing that role. The way he walks and talks in this film (kind of like a drunkard) really helped him create the happy go-lucky character of Jack Sparrow.

Okay, there's Keira Knightley playing Elizabeth Swann. She's practically the only lady at the film. She transformed from a damsel-in-distress (in Pirates 1) to a fearless captain (in Pirates 3). But who was Keira Knightley before the Pirates trilogy? On Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace, Keira plays a handmaiden that disguises herself as Queen Amidala, who is portrayed by Natalie Portman. At 16, she had a football movie called Bend it like Beckham, she did the first Pirates movie at 17! Wow..Imagine at 17, you have the chance to work with Johnny Depp and Orlando Bloom! Anyway, i find her really pretty (but she has crooked teeth) and suitable to play the role of Elizabeth Swann. The Pirates trilogy also helped Keira become a famous actress.

Last but not the least is Orlando Bloom who played Will Turner, Elizabeth's love interest. We first noticed his hotness during the Lord of the Rings trilogy while playing the elf Legolas. Who could forget his long blonde hair at that movie right? Anyway he had a lot of films after that like Elizabethtown, Kingdom of Heaven, Ned Kelly and Black Hawk Down, but he's still famous for being Legolas and now, Will Turner. I love Orlando Bloom, i hope he will continue in making films, but is he really gay? Anyway for me, he's a good actor and that's all that matters...

Rich Dad, Poor Dad

2007-06-25T18:58:00.000-07:00

i am currently reading this book called Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki (instead of studying for Business Law during my free time!)..it is meant to teach you what the author calls "financial literacy". the cover says "WHAT THE RICH TEACH THEIR KIDS ABOUT MONEY--that the poor and middle class do not!"..catchy huh?i love reading books..most of the books that i have read were written by Paulo Coelho and Nicolas Sparks (so cheesy, i know..) and what made me read this book?

when i got my first allowance from my ojt at IBM Business Services, after a week, i have none left! where did my cash in hand went?and well, i bought a bag from People R People,..and i treated my family for pizza at yellow cab...and my money was gone with the wind..i said to myself, if that would always happen to me when i am already working, then i am in a very big trouble..oh gosh..i can't buy luxuries all the time right?so i heard that this book will teach you how to become rich...

i am now in page 126, and i already learned things about money...like to be rich, "use your money to buy an asset and minimize buying liabilities"..what exactly is an asset?the book says "an asset is something that puts money into your pocket" and as for liability "it is something that takes money out of your pocket"..those kind of ideas..

how can you say that a person is wealthy?i found this definition from the book..that the author quoted from a man named Buckminster Fuller, and it says "Wealth is a person's ability to survive so many number of days forward.." or it simply means, "if i stopped working today, how long could i survive?"..the last line, i would apply it to myself by asking "if my parents stop giving me allowances today, how long could i survive?" oh gosh..i guess i would only survive for 2 days! scary!

so right now, i am trying my best to save money and minimize expenses..coz i don't want to struggle financially! hopefully after reading this book, i could think of something, a business, that would help me earn money...

Witch Yoo Hee

2007-06-25T18:19:00.000-07:00

i love watching korean dramas, but it is sad to say that i don't watch the current kdrama of abs-cbn which is entitled "Which star are you from?"..some friends of mine are watching it, and they find it cool..and they ask me, "why are you not watching it?", i guess that question involves curiosity. i love kdramas, and i am not watching that one?! anyway, these past months, ever since i had my ojt, i don't watch tv anymore...how pathetic right? its just that, i don't have the energy anymore to watch tv shows..i'd rather sleep...because i need to get up early for the next morning...anyway, for the past 2 months, really..i have no idea what are the events in the current tv soaps...

but there is this one korean drama that i would really watch once it will be aired here in the philippines..it is called Witch Yoo Hee..i saw the first 3 episodes of this korean drama through crunchyroll, and i totally love it..even before this drama was shown in south korea, i am really excited to see it because its cast include Jae Hee (from Sassy girl chunhyang--my fave korean drama ever..) and Kim Jeong Hoon (Troy or Yul from Princess Hours, another fave kdrama!)! imagine, two of your favorite korean stars in one korean drama, now that's something! the cast also includes Ahn Suk Hwan (Julian's uncle from My Girl), Byun Hee Bong (Julian's grandfather in My Girl) and Jo Kye Hung (Jasmine's guy friend from My Girl)..oh gosh...its like my girl part 2!

the director of this drama is Jeon ki sang, the same director behind My Girl and Sassy Girl Chunhyang, because of that i am motivated than ever to watch this drama...so you could expect the humor of My Girl!

the story is about Ma Yoo Hee (Han Ga In), as the director of her father's advertising company, she is known as a witch for her ruthless, no nonsense character. After a string of failed attempts to hire a housekeeper, she (literally) runs into Chae Moo Ryong (Jae Hee), ex-medical student turned aspiring chef. As a way to work off his debt for crashing into her car, he agrees to become her housekeeper and personal love affairs coach for one month. Gladly, he gives her a makeover that attracts both her old friend Johnny Kruger (Dennis Oh) and her first love Joon Ha (Kim Jeong Hoon). Despite having a girlfriend, Sung Mi (Jun Hye Bin), Moo Ryong eventually finds himself falling for Yoo Hee.

i really wish that ABS-CBN would be the one to show this drama here in the Philippines..i could not really watch it continuously right now because i am using a dial-up connection..and hello good luck! i only get to watch it at the internet cafe...so i really hope that it will be shown here in the Philippines already!

Lip gloss addiction!

2007-06-18T20:42:00.000-07:00

well not everyone notices my addiction..but i am really addicted to lip glosses..and not just to ordinary lip glosses in the market..i am addicted to the ones that are ridiculously expensive..i know that may sound absurd to many...you know, spending unreasonable bucks for a lip gloss! how crazy! but well, that's me...can't help it..it is totally better to be addicted with lip gloss rather than with drugs right?

anyway like i said, i am willing to spend big bucks just for a tube of a good quality lip gloss..and i actually know a few ones in the market(a little expensive)with superb quality...

my favorite lip gloss of all time is DuWop's Venom Gloss..

it has this stingy feeling when you apply it for the first time, but after a few uses, your lips will get used to the stingy feeling. This lip gloss is described as "to enhance your lips". it costs about P900..

Next is Lancome Juicy Tubes. I try to use this lip gloss occassionally because this is the most expensive that i have bought so far. i have one in fraise (strawberry), and its quite good. It stays on your lips for hours. The one that i bought has glitters so its too fancy to be used for school!

While Rosel and I were strolling at BeautyBar, i came across this lip gloss..or (the label said) lip plumper, i was attracted by the nice reddish color (the fifth in the picture) and tried it on. It has the same stingy feeling that Duwop Venom gloss has, but this one is stronger! I also noticed that its not so sticky like other lip glosses. I wanted to buy it but when i saw the price (P995), WAAH! wla akong budget!

Clinique Impossibly Glossy Lip Gloss..without looking at the tag price i knew that this one is expensive..since this brand is exclusively available at Rustan's only..and hello can you find something cheap at Rustan's?

so about the lip gloss, this one's intended for those who have sensitive skin..that's why their products are fragrance-free..anyway, i just love the color of this gloss...but i don't adore the price!but who knows?Pag tinopak ako, i will buy one! hehe

Rosel tried one too, and it looks good on her, so with that i guess if you have the funds, there would not be any hesitations on buying this one!

Am i happy?

2007-03-09T00:14:00.000-08:00

You Are Very Happy

Your life is totally together, and you enjoy every day.And you don't need a quiz to tell you that!You know how to find pleasure in the little things...And even when life isn't so great, you have a good sense of perspective.

Forced marriages, my favorite koreanovela theme.

2007-03-08T20:46:00.000-08:00

i have always been fond of watching korean dramas or koreanovelas because of the funny antics of the main characters, the catchy story lines, and its wholesome package. i started watching out for new koreanovelas after i watched Lovers in Paris years ago.

i have noticed in some of koreanovelas i have seen, they tend to have the "forced marriage" formula into the story. And i find myself putting these dramas with "forced marriage" on my favorite list of kdramas.

Sweet 18 is about the story of a high school student named Yoon Jung Sook (Han ji hye) who was bethroted to the prosecutor Kwon Hyuk Joon. They are both from 2 traditional clans, who planned their marriage to strengthen the relationship of those two clans.

Full House is about an aspiring writer, Han ji eun (Song hye kyo) who returned from China without knowing that her best friends sold her house. And the one who bought it was the superstar, Lee Young Jae (Rain). Since she has no assets left, she had a contract marriage with Lee Young jae so that she could still hold on to her house which is the only thing that her father left her.

Sassy girl chunhyang is the modern interpretation of the Legend of Chunhyang. It is about two high school students, Lee Mong ryong (Jae hee) and Sung Chun hyang (Han chae young) who were forced to marry each other because they spent a night with each other. They were still forced to marry each other even though nothing happened that night.

Princess Hours is about an ordinary high school girl, Shin Chae-gyung (Yoon eun hye) who found herself bethroted to the Crown prince of Korea, Shin (Joo ji hoon). Shin's grandfather (the king) and Chae-gyung's grandfather (a servant) formed a friendship, and because of that, they decided their grandchildren to marry each other. Their marriage also celebrated the friendship between their grandfathers.

Well..if you have seen these dramas, then you could relate with me..All of them are pretty much the same with the "forced marriage" as the main focus of the stories. if you think about it, here in the Philippines, i don't think forced marriage happens that much(except for the chinese community). i have not really get to meet a Filipino who is involved in a forced marriage.

these korean dramas attract me to watch them because i want to see how the characters would fall in love with each other. and because of that, my fondness for koreanovelas grew because of my interest in this "forced marriage" formula.

High heels that are too high!

2007-03-07T19:53:00.000-08:00

Ordinary people like me, wear heels when the event calls for it, like formal functions or any event that would require you to be dolled up. But i found these photos of the Olsen twins from people.com, wearing really high heels. As you can see in the photos, they look like they were running domestic errands, wearing HIGH heels! lol

well, i don't know if i would admire or criticize these people from wearing those kind of shoes. I could admire them for being able to wear heels on a daily basis, not everyone could do that (I am one of those). But i could also criticize them for wearing those heels and trying to look tall! And do their heels look that good?

I am scared for both of them. One wrong step, and both of them are dead!

Ashley Olsen, Mary kate's twin, also wearing (very high) heels:

Here are additional photos of Hollywood celebs, Jennifer Lopez and Gwen Stefani, wearing 6-inches heels!

2007-03-01T21:16:00.000-08:00

The Classic Collection has established LeSportsac as the leading American brand of casual nylon bags in the U.S., Asia and Europe.

I love their designs because it looks so cute. The prints on their designs are very colorful and they look like for kids. But they have a wide range of bags like totes, shoulder bags, luggages etc.

They have a new line of bags designed by TokiDoki. It looks so cute!!! waah! i can't help drooling about it!

How i wish i could afford one bag from LeSportSac. It is locally available at Rustan's. Mabel and I saw one LeSportSac bag there, and it cost P9, 500! No kidding! Maybe in the future, when i am already earning dollars, i would not hesitate to buy one! lol

Here are some of the bags from the new TokiDoki line:

Music and Lyrics

2007-02-23T19:58:00.001-08:00

We watched Music and Lyrics last Tuesday when our professor gave us a free cut. I enjoyed watching the movie because of the great story. Hugh Grant is a great actor, and he's hot too, for an old guy. Drew Barrymore acted well too. I have always liked her movies before, and the same goes for this movie.

Here were some of the songs from the movie..

I’ve been living with a shadow overhead
I’ve been sleeping with a cloud above my bed
I’ve been lonely for so long
Trapped in the past, I just can’t seem to move on

I’ve been hiding all my hopes and dreams away
Just in case I ever need em again someday
I’ve been setting aside time
To clear a little space in the corners of my mind
All I want to do is find a way back into love
I can’t make it through without a way back into love
Oh oh oh

I’ve been watching but the stars refuse to shine
I’ve been searching but I just don’t see the signs
I know that it’s out there
There’s got to be something for my soul somewhere
I’ve been looking for someone to shed some light
Not just somebody just to get me throught the night
I could use some direction
And I’m open to your suggestions

All I want to do is find a way back into love
I can’t make it through without a way back into love
And if I open my heart again
I guess I’m hoping you’ll be there for me in the end
There are moments when I don’t know if it’s real
Or if anybody feels the way I feel
I need inspiration Not just another negotiation

All I want to do is find a way back into love
I can’t make it through without a way back into love
And if I open my heart to you
I’m hoping you’ll show me what to do
And if you help me to start again
You know that I’ll be there for you in the end

Another song from the movie...

2nd GIMP image

2007-02-22T21:28:00.000-08:00

here's my second GIMP edited image..now that sir yuv will be checking the things we've done, i realized that i wasn't able to post my 2nd GIMP image..so here it is...

a picture of Jessie from Full House..

and here's the edited pic...

1) i duplicated the layer by clicking the "duplicate" icon on the layers, channels, dialog box

2)i used the gaussian blur Filters-->Blur-->Gaussian blur and then i experimented to find the good values of the picture by clicking on the image and then at the dialog box, i used 7 pixels.

3) i inverted the colors of the image on Layer-->Colors-->Invert

4)i adjusted the layer's opacity to 50%

5)with the two layers visible, i highligted the first layer and then right click, merge down

6)back to the image,i used to adjust the colors again by Layer-->Colors-->Levels, i set the input levels to 100 (at the left) and 155 (at the right)

7)to make the background image white, on the image again, Layer-->Colors-->Levels and then i set the input levels to 39 at the left, 0.95 at the middle and 128 at the right.

8)and then, i used the color picker from the GIMP Toolbar to select the color white from the image.

9)and then i clicked the brush, and erased some marks from her face to achieve the clean sketch effect.

that's it.by the way i used this tutorial to achieve the sketch effect.

Princess Hours curiosity..

2007-02-08T16:56:00.000-08:00

right now i love watching Princess Hours every night (except for the long commercials in between!). and since our dvd player is a wreck, i really don't have any choice but to watch it at night. anyway, i was curious about it so while surfing the net, i searched for an image of Yoon Eun Hye (janelle). and goodness, i was shocked to see some daring photos of her. very far from her sweet and bubbly character in princess hours!

take a look!

this is her "sweet and wholesome" look from princess hours..

and these were (maybe) her fashionista side..

and these were the daring ones..

Ben Stiller, you rock!

2007-02-08T16:46:00.000-08:00

yesterday, we watched Night at the Museum at RP..Ben stiller was very funny and we were laughing (almost) the whole time! its a good thing that krissie agreed to watch it again with us! *thanks krissie!:)* the whole movie was entertaining and the effects were great. you would not see any "butas" with the whole story.

for me, the movie has a message. and that message is that, when we are visiting a museum, we should treat the things there with respect. like don't touch it or do anything with it. we should just appreciate the beauty and admire all the achievements of those "things" displayed in the museum. because who knows? they may be alive at night....

if you wanna laugh, check out this movie!:)

my frustration!

2007-02-07T20:34:00.000-08:00

but right now..i don't really have anything to do but surf the internet!! i miss watching my dvds..especially now that i finally had a copy of princess hours..i really want to watch it! coz if i watch at night, abs-cbn plays a lot of commercials! (but i am still watching at night!hehe)

anyway..that's my frustration..i hope our dvd player will work again soon! especially this friday, no web design!

Christian Louboutin shoes

2007-02-01T21:47:00.000-08:00

There is only one shoe designer whose footwear is instantly recognisable just from the soles. What makes Christian Louboutin's shoes stand out, besides their exquisite quality, fine craftsmanship, sexy high heels and quirky designs, is the glossy nail-varnish red sole that has become his trademark. ""I want to make shoes that are like jewels,"" Louboutin explains. ""Shoes are more than just an accessory; they are an extension of a woman,"" And when that woman just happens to be Diane von Furstenberg, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Madonna, Louboutin fans one and all, he is surely on to a good thing.

I love his shoes. His designs range from the classic ones, to the modern ones. I love the red soles present on his shoes. Whenever you'll see a pair of red soled shoes on Hollywood stars, you could confirm that they are wearing Louboutin shoes! :)

Here are some of his designs!
