Good day mates, it’s been another semester and my time has been quite short for updates. Well, here I am, writing a new blog.It is yet another great summer which is up and the joy can’t be hidden. My face is like swelling with a smile for weeks now, after the results of my final exams and grades. It just came to me that I just don’t go to school to get allowance, see my friends, and mingle and everything, but I do study. Perhaps I did. My grades gone great but were unexpected. But still, thank God. Seems I am off to a good start, to another fantastique summer vaca.

Ok, so North Korea launches a missile, Pacquiao’s match with Hatton is fast approaching, Obama’s on his first 100 days, it’s lent and I am turning 18. And they say its recession. But who the hell cares? Although we are much affected, as it seems, with the global financial crisis, isn’t that the rough times are those times that we should be positive? Damn its recession, but we need to take a break from thinking ‘bout problems, and it is my freaking 18th BIRTHDAY, well that occasion doesn’t count. Ha-ha. I simply just wanted to tell everyone to have fun although money is scarce, wear a smile although jobs are scarce. Be thankful every time and in a way, it’ll minus the stress and lines up on our faces and we can find better solutions to, as we call it, these complicated times.

Talk about lent, it is also that very time to think over and repent. It’s all about the ultimate sacrifice. Him. Jesus. Where did you spend the holy week? Me? I stayed at home, gone off to church and watch masses over the telly. I also went to a nearby prayer sanctuary known as the “Field of Faith” to reflect and pray. It’s located up a nearby mountain, yet not that far. Many people were there to pray and to relax with family. Simple but well spent days huh? Its recession. Erase extravagant. Hihee.

April is such a glorious month, not that it is my birthday, (reiteratively reminding you) but because it is vacation. More time to swim and go wild under the burning sun, family bonding, time for driving lessons, reunions and go someplace else where fun is written all over. Off to vacation. Happy Summer folks!

just last week, we had our pre-final exams and it was, as usual, nerveracking and as diffucult as it gets closer to finale. and looks like it turned out fine.

well, on to my weekend, my bestfriend threw a bday bash with an overnight swimming party, and it was fun-filled, certainly fun-tastic. sounds unbelievable but, it was my first actual overnight party to attend at, to the exception that it is not part of a school gig like a farewell party of maybe xmas party. and i was the neophyte. haha. i so did enjoy the party.

the asking for permission was like processing for travel abroad, where i have to undergo various interview with my fam.

• my father was the embassy like, for visa application and approval
• dearest mum, airport security join forces with baggage counter and wardrobe dept
• kuya, the Thomas Cook, ticketing location of party venue, the easiest
• big sis, financial release and my very own foreign consul. i tell, this is the hardest part

and i end up going to the party. it kicked off with karaoke singing, food eating and card games. swimming afterwards. i got drunk. i bit. i guess. ahaha. well it wasn’t like out of control or something. i just laughed harder and louder. pretty intense effect. 2 shot and my world spun around. haha. weak u say? em for lights. anyways, we called it a night and we didn’t had the chance to sleep so, when i came home, all i want to see is the bed and dose off. zzz.

it was a rewarding weekend, after all the exams and reviews for the pre-fi. so until then, happy Edsa Revolution Anniv and congrats to newly Oscar winners. Au revoir.

Dieu benir.

ps. at last, Kate Winslet owned it. very much.

our midterms are finally over and Obama stepped it up as the 44th US President was and still the most celebrated person since he triumphed over the election. last weeks headlines. well, on to a new week. formostly, Gong Xi Fa Cai! its chinese new year. it is year of the earth ox. in chinese astrology, the ox symbolizes prosperity through fortitude and hardwork. the ox is also known to be persevere and is a born leader. lets hope these traits would be reflected during times like this, when the world suffers economic crises.

to award seasons. kudos to kate winslet grabbing 2 globes for actress both in lead and supporting roles for the reader and revolutionary road. a big salute to the late heath, who won best supporting actor for his role as joker in the dark knight. the globes was cute but not unlike the upcoming oscars, bigger! sad to see that revolutionary road didn't get any attention from the academy, though it was a great movie. 15th nomination for meryl streep, record queen for most nominations. anne hathaway's first and angelina's 2nd. thought of kate as her fifth and maybe, just maybe her first oscar for the reader. brad has one for benjamin button which i should say is a best picture. love the story. great plot. sean penn also has one nod for milk and globe winner mickey rourke for the wrestler. one the, i should say cute nods is for a dude playing a dude disguise as another dude, robert downey getting his oscar nod for trophic thunder. wow. great actors. great show. im sure id watch that. haha. ciao for now.

popular GOALS i'd consider to be mine:

1. SAVE MONEY - to tell you, if there is something i never did this 2008, it was to save money. im so poor when it comes to managing my finances, and i hope i could AND i know i would (yeah right). spend less, keep more.

2. GET FIT-ter - i know im partially fit, but just a little more push and im there.

3. DRINK LESS ALCOHOL - limit it to occasions not every depressions. not even when i feel i like to have some. self control, there you go.

4. TAKE A TRIP - do i have to? need to reconsider 'coz of #1. well maybe if its like walking distance or something. there, im thrift and stingy. lol.

5. TEMPER CONTROL - the Bible says, "dont let the sun go down on your anger". okay, my anger mngt. resolution - anger applicable only for like less than a minute. damn. no way! just say no to hot arguements and grumpy people. in that way less hot-headed showdowns, happy world.

6. EAT HEALTHY - i have no probs with veggies, but those luscious, tender and fatty foods just take my taste buds by storm. LESSEN. hmm. i have to work this out.

7. EDUCATION - this one's for real. ever since.

8. GAIN WEIGHT - just to add volume to my thin body.

9. LOVE MORE - share more affection and care to all the people so that you can start workin' on the impossible "world peace" :)

10. GOD IS EVERYTHING - always pray to God and try not to wander off the right path shall we?
