What’s new and Randoms

Sobrang tagal ko na di nakapagsulat dito. Namiss ko na rin ang pagbablogging. Minsan tinatamad kasi ako kaya ayun.

As early as January pa lang, nagpapasalamat na ako sa Dios na binigyan nya ako ng biyaya. 3 outside freelance projects kaagad ang natanggap ko. Deadline na bukas yung isa kaso lang ako ang pinapagawa ng content. Tama ba yun? Hay naku, di nga ako writer eh. Yung 2 clients – napakabait ng boss. Cheerful siya. Nakikita mo sa kanya ang excitement niya for this project. Cooperative naman ang mga stuff for questions.

Dahil sa project na to, tumuloy muna ako sa bahay ng Tiyo (Father side) ko sa Mandaluyong at I have fun time bonding with my cousins. 2 araw ako duon at nagkataon birthday pa ng pinsan ko na si Cherry. I love my only 2 cousins – oo sila lang 2 ang pinsan ko sa father side. What I love about my Tiyo’s house, they speak Hokkien at home. Napapractice ko ang Hokkien conversation ko.

Grave yard shift ako for 2 weeks na, at kulang ako sa tulog. Ang tulog ko 3-4 hours sa hapon tapos sa gabi halos di na ako nakakatulog kasi sanay na ako na late na matulog sa gabi or minsan 2 oras lang tapos ang pasok ko 12am or 1am . Nakakaloka diba? Sabi ng bagong kateam mate sakin – Workaholic ka nga. LOL kaya eto parusa na naman. May kuliti na naman ako. Nagpaalam na ako kay bossing na magday off tomorrow para makatulog. Kahapon biglang tumawag ang isang client ko. Bigla akong nagising.. argh! nagkaroon ako ng migraine. Salamat sa biogesic! (INGAT!) haha! Tanggal ang sakit ng ulo.

Sabay ang Valentine’s Day at Chinese New Year this year. Ang kapatid ko panay download ng mga sentimental songs – grabe sumisigaw na ako pagnakakarinig ako ng sentimental songs. Feeling ko ayaw ko na.. graduate na ako sa mga songs na yan. If I heared “IT MIGHT BE YOU” again – I will start killing people HAHA! Just kidding. I mean paulit ulit na lang eh. Gusto ko naman yung lumang OPM katulad ng Rey Valera, APO Hiking Society, Basil Valdez. Halatang matagal na ako di nakikinig ng radyo at panay Chinese Music na lang ang pinapakinggan ko. Eh paano naman, nachcheap-an na ako sa mga tugtog ngayon. Di naman ako masyadong mahilig sa RNB. Cpop songs bring out my other side of culture, and plus, I’m learning and practicing.

Isa pa, wala naman ako Valentino. I know that I have friends, families, and relatives who loves me pero iba yung feeling na may nagpapakilig sayo. Parang kang tanga na ngingiti ngiti ka sa text message at may nababasa kang love letters at cards. I love to write letters nuon. Kahit ang nakasulat lang eh “Hi! Kamusta ka na? I hope you’re doing fine”. Mababaw pero nakakatuwa. May inspiration ka. Siguro babasahin ko na lang yung mga lumang personal diaries ko. Hahaha! 6 o 7 na diaries yun! Lahat duon nakasulat in detailed! Nakasulat duon yung mga conversations, lugar, petsa, saan kami pumunta, saan kami kumain… Pero kahit wala nun, nasa puso ko ang lahat na important events.

Sa Valentine’s day na to kung itatanong niyo ako kung ano ang favorite part ng buhay ko… yung part na “tuwing umuulan”. Di sya nakasulat sa Diary ko, nakasulat yun sa dating blog site ko (yata) basta ang title nya.. “Tuwing Umuulan” – bakit yun ang title? kasi sumakto yung kanta sa nangyari that time. Kahit naman nawala yung entry na yun, unforgettable para sakin yun. Nandito na talaga sa puso. ^_^

Chinese New Year – feeling ko gusto ko bumisita sa OngPin at bumili ng Tikoy LOL at kumain ulit sa Chuangkee at Ha Wan. Magluluto ako ng Chicken Asado Mami. Pageexperimentuhan ko muna yung Chicken Asado. Omg! Gusto ko ulit ng pansit from Masuki!! @_@,

Na-addict ako sa Hai Pai Tian Xin (Hi My Sweetheart) OSTs. Bumili ako ng new album ni Rainie Yang at Show Luo ORIGINAL PO TO HA… HINDI PIRATED! STRAIGHT FROM TAIWAN PA. Sobrang natuwa ako sa packaging ng album ni Show Luo. The poster book is really worth something… worth for drooling for Show Luo LOL. Speaking of Show, I joined the Show Luo Philippines, and I’ll be attending the eye ball on Feb. 21. Ang susunod na bibilhin ko, yung Best Collection of Coco Lee (2 CDs) 1999-2008. Nandyan kasi yung favorite ko kay Coco Lee – Guo Wan Gong Ji (After Winter’s Gone) at Ai Zai Mei Yi Tian (Loving You Every Single Day)

Review: Nodame Cantabile

My friend Shirley, who loves anything Japanese, introduced me this TV series to me. I saw the movie trailer that according to her will be release this year. Tonight, I saw a DVD so I thought to give it a shot.

This JDrama is full of classical music. This what makes me interested to watch. It’s just because of the classical music else I’m not going to watch it. I’m not used to watch JDrama as you know that I’m addicted with CDrama. I come from a family who loves classical music and my Dad always playing classical music (in LP) when we were young.

This TV series also a little similar from what I have experienced. I’m also a member of a student orchestra way back my highschool days, and my conductor (my very good friend) is very strict. We were scolded, and walked-out for sometimes, and we have a fun time with our conductor which also happened on this series.

This drama is full of laughter, friendship, love and MUSIC (OF COURSE!). I simply love it

Yu Ai – Rainie Love

Lily — Sun, 10 Jan 2010 15:23:35 +0000

I’m so addicted with Hai Pai Tian Xin (Hi My Sweetheart), and Rainie sang the ending theme titled “Yu Ai” or Rainie Love (Actually it’s Rainy Love, but they just incorporate it with Rainie’s name) which caught my attention since from the very beginning. Last January 1, Rainie released her new album – “Rainie and Love…?” and its first single – not surprising, it’s “Rainie Love”!

I know it’s a sad song, but heck I simply love it… and I love Rainie Yang! I have bought the CD in YesAsia.com (pre-order O.O!)

Here’s a video for you with English Translation

Actually there are so many beautiful songs in Rainie’s new album but this one really tops them all.

A Poem for “you”

Lily — Fri, 08 Jan 2010 16:46:32 +0000

I Love You
I never really knew you
you were just another friend, but when I
got to know you, I let my heart unbend.
I couldn’t help past memories that would only make me cry, I had to forget my first love and give love another try. So I’ve fallen in love with you, and I’ll never let you go, I love you more than anyone, I just had to let you know. And if you ever wonder why, I don’t know what I’ll say, but I’ll never stop loving you each and every day. My feelings for you will never change, just know my feelings are true. Just remember one thing……….
I Love You!!!!!

Thank you 2009 and hello 2010

Lily — Thu, 31 Dec 2009 19:06:59 +0000

Thank you 2009. Although it has been a tough year for all of us but yet we have learned our lessons well. It was indeed a challenging year. I have been in so many trials and pains but I have proven that I can overcome them. I thank God for all the blessings that He showered on me. I also would like to say thank you to my friends (most especially the one of them) who had given me comfort and strength.

The start of 2010 – the truth is not a good start year for me. I can’t share it with you because it’s a family problem but I know that we will be able to fix this problem.

No More Coffee For Me

Lily — Sat, 19 Dec 2009 04:18:24 +0000

I used to be a coffee lover. I used to drink more than 3x a day of 3-in-1 coffee in my former office just to keep me awake from work not until I resigned to my former office and decided to go work home based.

I feel when I drink a coffee today, I go palpitating. Especially when I don’t have a sleep for 1 day due to immediate change of work schedule. That way you really really want to drink coffee but when I did, I feel like I was drugged! I’m not sure if Decaf coffee will keep me awake but I think Decaf will not be so effective like the 3-in-1 coffee that I used to drink.

Really I WANT TO HAVE A COFFEE RIGHT NOW!!! :’(

Busiest Month

Lily — Tue, 15 Dec 2009 03:24:28 +0000

Not with Christmas shopping or house decorating, but with WORK.

My working schedule lately varied. I only slept for 1.5 hours or 2 hours – I’m totally killing myself. I’m not doing this only for myself but also for my team as well. I care for my team. If I’m not going to work hard, my team will suffer.

So temporarily, I’ll go hiatus, and finish all these stuff.

Christmas sales and suggestions

Lily — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 03:10:21 +0000

I went to Festival Mall with my sister yesterday to have her laptop check and while waiting, I wanted to give myself a gift. There are sales in Celine. 50% off on shoes. There are sales in Robinson Department store in their shoes section. 10% off in some shoe brands. I haven’t gotten a chance to roam around yesterday at Robinson because my sister and I were kinda on a rush to go back for her laptop. If you are planning to buy digicams – reasonable price at Western Appliances center.

As early as yesterday, the department stores are now crowded for the early Christmas shopping. So if you have plans to shop early, I suggest not to bring the kids anymore. Just tag one adult to help you out – your husband or your friend – maybe. Preparation – have a list of things to buy and for whom it will be given. Ask your kumare for your ina-anak for their sizes (if you go for clothings) and what your ina-anak wants. If they like PSP – FORGET IT. Buy something useful and educational. Please don’t forget to ask your saleslady for the required age of a certain toy.

Use credit card? I tell you this – If you have cash.. GO CASH. Don’t bring it all. It is wise to use debit card – like BPI Bank’s EPS. It’s a safe that you don’t have money with you especially that criminals are now everywhere during this season.

If you don’t have cash, make sure that you can pay it ALL to your credit card company. But it is NOT wise to use them. They’re evil. DON’T BE LIKE ME!!!!

If you have money for Christmas – Go “ang pao”. I was then a child of course and I know what they like. I used to like when my sister’s Ninang gave us money (Germany Mark before). Her Ninang is so nice not only to my sister but as well to me and my brother. She knew that we haven’t seen out Godparents for a long time.

Ok I know that I’m not good in giving suggestion. I’m not PRO, but for me these are little, basic and wise suggestions – It could help you somehow.

Looking for Christmas Gifts?

Lily — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 12:51:08 +0000

I was online with my Facebook account when my High School classmate, Bam Bam pmed me. She was asking me if I were looking for Christmas gifts for my God children or nephews/nieces, and she was plugging her business, Lootbugs.

Yes! I was looking for cheap Christmas gifts for my 3 God children – something that they can use for years. I don’t want to gift dresses and toys. As I roam around their multiply website, I found their stuff so cute!

I don’t want to go to malls and risk myself to be standing in a 1 hour long line in the Cashier. That sucks. I bought their best seller, Loot Bags. For only 60 pesos, you can have a bag with school kit! Nifty! I like it. My God children can actually use it.

So if you are looking for cheap Christmas gifts that you don’t want to go to tiyangge or mall, try this option
