Not Another Horror-Gory Film Fanatic

noreply@blogger.com (maybel) — Sat, 15 Oct 2011 17:45:00 +0000

I am into one of those moods again where I just I want to sit, munch on something, and watch a movie. I watched John Carpenter's 'The Ward' yesterday afternoon. It's a suspense-horror movie with a twist towards the end.

These days I find it very convenient to browse free movies through the internet--you can either download it or watch it online. I watched 'The Ward' through movie2k.com. By the way, movie2k.com has a wide library of movies and the best thing about this site is that it's free.

Anyway, it's somehow weird that if I am going to list down all the movies I watched then and now, I guess I could say that I am so indulged with stomach churning and unearthly kind of thing type of movies. Having said this, I think I already have gotten used to eerie and ghastly stuff as far as my choice of movies is concerned.

What sort of movies do I watch? Well, I do like sweet, romantic, 'love story' movies. Besides, love makes the world go round and love stories are the kind of movie themes that you and I can relate to. Don't miss out the 'drama' too. Stories of heartaches and failures are part of anyone's life. A bit of tears won't hurt us while watching movies like this--I had a share of moments where tears of mine were helplessly dripping down my cheeks. You could say that I got heavily engrossed into the dramatic scenes. 'Action-packed' and adventure movies are great genre as well--guns, grenades, fist-fighting, and police chases are always part of every action movies and the typical hero-villain thing in movies. And of course, the kind of movies which I am engrossed to watching are those that send chills into the spine...wahahaha (witch's laugh)

Not for the faint hearted! If you can't stand being scared or if you're the type who'd faint at the sight of blood, then I recommend you not to watch the type of movies I included below that shows the movies I've seen the past 12 months. I am in no way encouraging you to sit and watch these movies, just suggesting. But, if you have similar interests like mine in movies with this kind of genre.

Eerie and Ghastly Warning! not suitable for you if you have weak stomach--gory films can churn your stomach inside out. Anyway, I am still going to share these movies, if you want to watch. I also included the not-so good ones which I've watched but I am not going to name it. By the way, I'll just include the most recent movies I watched for the past 12 months because I already couldn't recall all of it.

Sex Causes Amnesia?

noreply@blogger.com (maybel) — Thu, 13 Oct 2011 06:54:00 +0000

I don't know if I am going to laugh or get pretty scared with this news spreading over the internet and local television. I first read the article when I browsed through www.huffingtonpost.com. You could say that I was blown away by the title of the article, "Mind-Blowing Sex? Amnesia Could Be Caused By Sex, New Report Suggests"
Of course, it sounds alarming and who would want to fall into a situation where you couldn't recall anything after enjoying a mind-blowing sex? So, I might as well make myself informed by reading the article.
In the September issue of The Journal of Emergency Medicine, it reported that a woman in her 50s suffered from a so-called transient global amnesia after an exciting and titillating sexual experience with her husband. Indeed, a mind-blowing sex can literally mean blowing your memories off your mind--nobody wants that, right?
Don't fret just yet. In case this happens to you, researchers say it's just temporary and you'll soon regain you memory and it doesn't cause brain damage either as far as recent studies are concerned.
To go further into the details of what transient global amnesia is all about, let me cite the explanation given to the term transient global amnesia as written in The Journal of Emergency Medicine. It says that "transient global amnesia is characterized by the sudden development of dense anterograde amnesia, without alteration in level of consciousness and in the absence of focal neurologic deficits or seizure activity."
"Case Report: We report the case of a 54-year-old woman who presented to the ED with an episode of acute memory loss. Conclusions: Although rare, transient global amnesia may present in a dramatic fashion. The occurrence of a distinct precipitating event and repetitive questioning seem to be key features in making the diagnosis. Important differential considerations include transient ischemic attack, seizure, and subarachnoid hemorrhage. Brain imaging and specialty consultation are reserved primarily for patients with unclear circumstances, altered level of consciousness, focal neurologic findings, and persistent (or very brief) amnestic symptoms. Brain imaging may, however, relieve anxiety about more dangerous causes of the event." (The Journal of Emergency Medicine)
If sex may be the possible culprit for transient global amnesia, does it change your perspective about having a mind-blowing sex with your partner? Anyway, experts say that it's a rare condition which only affects a few percentage of people each year. It's also not yet conclusive that having sex directly leads to temporary memory loss. Researches continue to study this case to further find evidence about the possible causes of transient global amnesia.
Meanwhile, just enjoy having a good time and a mind-blowing sex.

What The Facts: 10 Facts About Maybel

noreply@blogger.com (maybel) — Wed, 12 Oct 2011 23:40:00 +0000

Oh well, I could not list down all of the facts you need to know about me besides there are tons, and some are mine to keep. Would't you agree? So, I'll just have a random pick of top 10 facts about me which I'd like to share. Do not be surprised if some are obviously obvious...haha!
1. I have a curly hair (hahaha...I already warned you that some facts about me could be very obvious) I remember that I used to have a straight hair...ahm, ah no! I think wavy. I just can't figure it out how I turned to be a curly-headed lady. It's a blessing in disguise I think--others adore my hair. Just kidding!
2. I'm jolly as a clown I really do think so and others too (am I right dear friends?) Anyway, I just hate being sad and constantly mumbling about life's miseries. But, I didn't say I don't experience those kinds of animosities in life, everyone does. I just hate being sad and worried all the time. It just ruins the essence of seeing life at a brighter side. So, as the song goes, "...smile though your heart is breaking."
3. I spend countless hours in front of my laptop I stay at home most of the time...I mean, all the time. What else can I do? I hate some of the shows being aired on television so I might as well turn off the TV and turn on my laptop. Besides, I have a good justification for this now--I am working online. See! Well, I know I don't entirely go online and focus on my work. Geeee! so what if I browse once in a while and have a chit chat with friends?!
4. I have registered accounts in Gmail, Yahoo, MSN, Facebook, Youtube, Twitter, Linkedin,StumbleUpon, Skype, MySpace, Bebo, Blogger, Wordpress...blah blah blah...at least I already deleted myFriendster and hi5 accounts...hmm, did i miss anything? I am just trying to explore you know! Here's a tip: I have a sticky pad on my desktop which I list down some of my username and passwords in some of the site I mentioned, in case I forget and which I do once in a while--pardon my amnesia.
5. I always wear something on my hair I can't go out without a headband, a clip, or a payneta on my hair. I just feel so naked without any hair accessories stuck on my hair. I guess I just really got used to it ever since. And by the way, I sometimes sleep with my headband on and with pigtails tied on one side--it's just a good way of waking up in the morning with a tidy hair and not the usual all messed-up hairdo after a whole sleeping hours tossing and turning on your bed.
6. I love my cup of coffee I can skip water after a meal but I can't do without my precious cup of coffee in the morning, in the afternoon, and in the evening. I must be so in love and addicted to the taste of coffee. If ever I happen to skip drinking coffee in the morning I usually get headaches. I don't know if it's just my brain's reaction. Perhaps, it's telling me, "Hey, you forgot to drink your coffee, how could you?" or "Geee! how could you be so forgetful...here's one heck of a headache to remind you that you haven't sipped coffee this morning."
7. I'm a super fan of 'Pancit' or rice noodles be it sotanghon, bihon, miki, canton or whatever, I simply like the so-called long life dish. I should thank the Chinese people because rice noodle cuisines originated from them. Here's a trivia for you. Did you know that "the oldest noodles yet discovered were found in Qinghai, China"? (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_noodles)
8. I like driving motorcycle super fast I learned how to drive motorcycle when I was around 12 years old. The first motorcycle which I used in practicing was similar to a bicycle wherein you have to use the foot pedal to start its engine and let it start rolling. I usually speed up along the highway. I love the air, the thrill, and the speed--the smell of freedom.
9. I go to extremes at certain times Sometimes it just happens when I tend to be so timid or super hyper, extremely lazy or a freaking workaholic. I can stay up late working countless hours or turn into couch potato seemingly helpless and just do nothing at all the entire day.
10. I admire women with a nice pair of bumper Guys, do you think that you are the only ones who appreciate a lady's bosom? Well, women like me also admire other girls with a healthy pair boobies--we do tend to compare whose smaller or bigger, right ladies? I really do like staring at healthy and 'meaty' bumpers...LOL--please excuse my description. Hey, don't get me wrong, okay? I am definitely straight!
So, there you have it folks. These are my top 10 facts and I hope that you were able to get to know a little bit of me. Geee! I wonder if this got you bored.

If you could go back in time and relive one day of your life, what would you choose?

noreply@blogger.com (maybel) — Thu, 22 Sep 2011 18:43:00 +0000

I am not quite sure why this question seems so difficult to answer. Probably, it's because of the countless memories and events in my life that make it hard to pinpoint one particular day to relive if I'd go back in time. In this journey called life, I live and seek happiness and contentment, however, it does not always end that way--disappointment, mistakes, and anxieties are also part of my journey. Do I wish to relive one particular day in my past? one particular day that I regret and relive to make it right? And if I do, will it change the course of my life in the future? Will I be the same "me" again in the future if I try to relive and alter one day of my life in the past? I do not know for sure.

Earlier today, I asked a friend to answer this question, "If you could go back in time and relive one day of your life, which would you choose?" Honestly, I was just expecting a shallow answer--just another blatant response from a sinister who thrives well in sarcasm.

Now, I am again reminded that good answers and brilliant ideas do not only come from people wearing eyeglasses with thick books on either hands. He answered by saying that he would rather not relive his past because he'd prefer not to feel and experience pain all over again. He said that in reality if you go back in time, you will hurt so much twice because you will see dead loved ones in the past and you will know when they will go away.

So, If you could go back in time and relive one day of your life, which would you choose?

What one thing can't you seem to scratch off your to-do list?

noreply@blogger.com (maybel) — Wed, 21 Sep 2011 16:09:00 +0000

Obviously, if there's one thing I can't simply skip not doing as of this time, it would be getting my fingers busy on the keyboard of my laptop. I am somehow hooked to the internet especially now that my new found job requires me to be online most of the time. Sounds fun? Absolutely! It's a paid job. However, among the downside effects of spending too much time in front of the computer monitor are eye strain, head ache, stiff neck and worst is eye damage.

Going online has become part of my daily routine. As soon as my son leaves home for school and my hubby for work early in the morning, I immediately switch on my laptop and connect to the internet. If you'd ask me, what's the first thing I do when I am online? Well, browsing through my Facebook takes the no. 1 spot and followed by checking emails, logging in to Skype, read some articles online, YouTube, blog, write articles, browse, browse, and just browse.

I usually leave my laptop on the whole day, and the only time when it's totally off is when I am asleep. However, there are instances when I sometimes fail to to shut it down because I fall asleep unconsciously.
How am I going to react if there's no internet? A day without internet would probably cause me to scratch my head in dismay. If it's going to be longer than 3 days, I'd probably get so upset.

So, how about you? What one thing can't you seem to scratch off your to-do list?

Cake or Pie?

noreply@blogger.com (maybel) — Tue, 20 Sep 2011 16:29:00 +0000

I am quite sure that cakes would surely be the choice of every man's palate. Cakes are the most frequently served desert during special occasions--birthdays, weddings, christening, graduation, valentine's, thanksgiving, Christmas or just even during ordinary days.

Don't you just love to take a bite on that soft and moist, delectable cake? I would definitely take a big bite. Pies also taste good, but I am not a big fan of it. Here in the Philippines, the most common pies that people often buy or bake are egg pies, pineapple pies, and "buko" (coconut meat) pies.

In the U.S., I guess the most common home made pie is the apple pie. I haven't tried apple pie yet, so I really do not have any idea how it tastes like. Perhaps, it tastes like apple...huh?! Just kidding! Of course, obviously it tastes like apple lest it wouldn't be called an apple pie if it tastes like mango or pineapple.

Like pies, cakes also come in different variety. The most popular of all is the chocolate cake with a chocolate filling that makes one go woot with its sinful taste.

Hug for Punch King?

"Just protect yourself at all times," Mayweather Jr. said during his interview right after the controversial fight with Victor Ortiz last night, September 17, 2011 at Las Vegas, Nevada. Ortiz was caught unaware of Mayweather Jr's incoming blow on his face. Victor Ortiz took a step back right after he received the unexpected punch from Floyd Mayweather while the second punch, just below his chin, sent him on the ground. The American boxer of Mexican descent was unable to stand on his feet as the referee finally declared that the fight was over. Thus, declaring Floyd Mayweather Jr. as the new WBC welterweight champion. Mayweather Jr. remains unbeaten with a record of 42-0.

Meanwhile, Ortiz was penalized for a headbutt earlier during the fight while Mayweather Jr. was caught on the ropes. The next round of fight was marked with controversy. As Ortiz approached Mayweather Jr. and apologized for the headbutt incident early on, Floyd Mayweather Jr. took advantage after Ortiz gave him a hug, and that was when Mayweather Jr. delivered a right hook punch on Ortiz's face.

What could be Manny Pacquiao's impression on this controversial boxing fight between Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Victor Ortiz? Well, one thing is for sure, boxing fans were not happy with regards to the outcome of the fight. So, what's your impression?

Freelance: A Jump Start To A New Career

noreply@blogger.com (maybel) — Fri, 16 Sep 2011 16:35:00 +0000

Few months ago, I had a full-time job with a stable income. I worked as a preschool teacher. All I had to do was prepare my lesson and teach and play with the students.

The school where I worked was established in 2006, and I was one of the pioneer teachers. At that time, there were only four teachers with not more than 40 students. I was lucky that among the many applicants who applied for the job, I was chosen despite my educational background. There was really a huge disparity between the job I was applying for and my course description. Imagine, from a Political Science graduate to a full-time preschool teacher. Although I took professional education course way back 2004, it was still way different from early childhood education.

Another opportunity came when I happened to read a post at a local online classified ads. Again, I didn't have any second thoughts. I immediately sent my application and resume online to the address that was posted on that site. I got excited at the thought of becoming an Online English teacher, but then again I didn't have any experience teaching online, however, it didn't stop me from trying my luck. Just like my first job, I was assigned as the marketing assistant and circulation-in-charge for a publishing company, and the challenging part was the time I was tasked to do bookkeeping. Who wouldn't fret? I was studying the constitution of the Philippines and the next thing I knew, I was already doing some computations and payrolls--definitely out of my league.

One day, I received a message through my cellphone. The message came from the manager of the Online English school, and I was literally having cold feet and hands. I got nervous when I read the message that I would be interviewed later that day. So, basically the rest was history. I got the job--yeepee!

Did I quit from my daytime job as a preschool teacher? No, I didn't. I was literally in the act of juggling from daytime to night time job. Soon, I found myself too exhausted trying to balance my time--work, family, and self.

First, I gave up online teaching, and months later, I quit my daytime job as a preschool teacher. The next thing I knew I was already unemployed. At first, I enjoyed the freedom of just staying at home--relaxed and carefree. I had a new title on my name--full-time mother and homemaker. I spent my time surfing the internet while my son was in school and while my hubby was busy working.

While browsing, the word "freelancer" popped into my mind. I had been eyeing on becoming a freelancer even before I quit my two jobs. I remembered having thoughts of becoming a freelancer and entrepreneur. I did some research on freelancing, and I found many home-based teaching jobs and so many other online jobs that I can do at home.

It has been less than a month since I finally decided to give it (freelancing) a go, and then I realized that it's not easy to be an online freelancer. I am in the process of learning and getting helpful tips from experts who have managed to make it as a freelancer. I just wish that I won't run out of patience and hope.

Hopefully, I can manage to do more online jobs like article writing, blogging, and any similar jobs. Thus, gaining more experiences mean gaining more projects and income.

The internet is a difficult world to thrive in but soon you'll learn to settle. It's like a maze that you need to find your way around. You are definitely on your own trying to make a mark in the online industry where aggressiveness, determination, creativity, patience, perseverance, and resourcefulness play a major role.

I am a freelancer and it's a jump start to a new career.

Damn! Wish You Here...

noreply@blogger.com (maybel) — Sun, 11 Sep 2011 18:52:00 +0000

I happened to hear this song, "Wish you were here" by Avril Lavigne, just now. The melody and lyrics of the song made me played this video a couple of times. I tried to listen to its lyrics, and the words were just plain and simple, casual but meaningful.

The lyrics speak about a girl who is in love, and how it weakens her without her man by her side. I think there are lots of girls who can relate to this, and who simply like to say, "damn! damn! damn! what I'd do to have you here, I wish you were here,"

Avril seemed to have transformed into a more mature singer/performer in this video. The video itself focused on facial expressions and emotions, and I think Avril pulled it off. It's good that the video didn't showcase the usual Avril Lavigne with a punky, rock star looks. However, in this video, the director could have thought of something different aside from the bathtub scene. I have already seen a lot of this scenario from other artists' videos.

Here is the lyrics of the song entitled, "Wish you were here" by Avril Lavigne.

"Wish You Were Here"

I can be tough
I can be strong
But with you, it's not like that at all

There's a girl
who gives a shit
behind this wall
You've just walked through it

And I remember all those crazy things you said
You left them running through my head
You're always there, you're everywhere
But right now I wish you were here.
All those crazy things we did
Didn't think about it, just went with it
You're always there, you're everywhere
But right now I wish you were here

Damn, Damn, Damn,
What I'd do to have you
here, here, here
I wish you were here.
Damn, Damn, Damn
What I'd do to have you
near, near, near
I wish you were here.

I love the way you are
It's who I am, don't have to try hard
We always say, say like it is
And the truth is that I really miss

All those crazy things you said
You left them running through my head
You're always there, you're everywhere
But right now I wish you were here.
All those crazy things we did
Didn't think about it, just went with it
You're always there, you're everywhere
But right now I wish you were here

[Chorus:]
Damn, Damn, Damn,
What I'd do to have you
here, here, here
I wish you were here.
Damn, Damn, Damn
What I'd do to have you
near, near, near
I wish you were here.

[Bridge:]
No, I don't wanna let go
I just wanna let you know
That I never wanna let go

(let go let go let go let go)

No, I don't wanna let go
I just wanna let you know
That I never wanna let go

(let go let go let go let go let go let go let go)

Damn, Damn, Damn,
What I'd do to have you
here, here, here
I wish you were here (I wish you were)
Damn, Damn, Damn
What I'd do to have you
near, near, near
I wish you were here.

Damn, Damn, Damn,
What I'd do to have you
here, here, here
I wish you were here.
Damn, Damn, Damn
What I'd do to have you
near, near, near
I wish you were here.

I'm going Freelance

noreply@blogger.com (maybel) — Mon, 05 Sep 2011 02:12:00 +0000

It has been a dream of mine to be a able to work as an online freelancer--doing all sorts of jobs like creative writing, blogging, teaching online, doing admin jobs, etc. I find these kinds of jobs fulfilling in a sense that you don't get to do the same thing over and over again. As a freelancer, you will always get a job that is different from the previous one, hence it's always challenging and rewarding at the same time.

At this point, I am focusing my attention on online teaching. I am in a mission to look for clients--Japanese, Koreans, and other nationalities who want to learn English as a second language.

This is a video which I made to promote myself to students/clients to book into my class. I recorded this video exclusively for Ontue. Ontue is a site managed and maintained by a Korean company. It's where teachers can register and look for students, and the students may also freely select their own teacher. Most of the students from this site are Koreans. Moreover, I am also a registered member of other online teaching sites like Eikaiwa, which is a Japanese term for speak English.

Anyone who is interested to to learn English online via Skype may contact me through the following:
Email: mmp0528@gmail.com
Skype ID: lebyamliscatap

I also offer a free 15-minute trial class to get to know the students and vice versa. It also allows me determine the student's level--beginner, intermediate or advanced, so I can prepare the type of lessons that a particular student needs. I specialize in conversational English (dialogues/open topics), including vocabulary, grammar, pronunciation, etc.

My rates are very affordable. We can always negotiate. Payment details will be discussed during the trial class.

The BackyardiCATS

noreply@blogger.com (maybel) — Wed, 31 Aug 2011 09:20:00 +0000

I don't know exactly where these cats came from but they have been with us for quite some time. Actually, there are more than five cats living in our backyard but they usually come and go.

These cats know exactly what to do every time I open the back door. They would rush near the door and make some noises--meow! meow! meow! It makes them excited whenever they hear the squeaking sound of the plate. For them, it signals that there is food on the way. Oh well, just some left overs and there's not much for each of them. So, it's a battle of the fastest, and the fastest cat gets the food, yum!

We haven't really thought of giving them names but I think the black cat's name is Batman, and that's according to my son, Kurt.

quite a homey box for this cat, right?

Near my aunt's house, there are piles of boxes and stuff, and these cats have somehow made this area a place where they can just sleep and relax. Just take a look at the photo on the right side. The cat seems so comfortable resting like a lazy cat just like Garfield.

The Way To A Man's Heart...

noreply@blogger.com (maybel) — Tue, 30 Aug 2011 09:44:00 +0000

I am quite sure you have all heard about this famous quote, "The way to a man's heart is through his stomach." Well, for me it could be maybe, possibly or perhaps absolutely? It's not that I want to defend myself of not being a good cook. I admit that I am not a kitchen-person, though there are times I like experimenting in the kitchen--good thing the dishes don't end up tasting like an experiment gone wrong.
Here's a little humor about this quote:

"The way to a man's heart is through his stomach"
--only when he's hungry. Try saying this when he's on a full stomach. I bet you'll go crazy calling him for dinner when he's busy in front of his PC monitor.

--if you can't cook ladies, let's try the other way. Men are not hungry for food alone but they're hungry for you. He'll love you more for this.

So, just remember ladies, there are may ways through a man's heart. We just need to figure out which way.

A Visit to Papa's Haven

noreply@blogger.com (maybel) — Sun, 28 Aug 2011 17:28:00 +0000

Yesterday, I visited my father at the Forest Lake along with Kurt and Ryan. The place was quiet and there were only a number of people who were also visiting their loved ones that morning. When we got there, there were flowers and used candles on his headstone. Perhaps, it was our relatives who paved a visit last August 25 which was my father's 40 days.

We found solace under the shade of a big tree near my father's grave since the scorching heat of the sun almost had us burnt alive--just kidding! We stayed there for about 30 minutes and while we were there I took the opportunity of taking some photos of the surrounding including my father's headstone as shown in the photos below--ahm, wait a second, did I say surrounding? Well, not really, but just part of it since I was really the subject of the photo shoot...haha.

"So happily remembered, so sadly missed" are the words engraved on his headstone...

Kurt was trying to light those match sticks and he succeeded...

I like this view...

but this view is way better because I am in it...

A destruction? That's just my back!

Hey, Kurt! What's on your mind?

Hmmm....

Ryan is the Black Riding Hood of the Forest Lake...

A Legit Employer or Just Another Online Sexual Maniac?

noreply@blogger.com (maybel) — Sat, 27 Aug 2011 16:24:00 +0000

I have recently registered to this site wherein freelancers or online English teachers can post their profiles or resumes to attract students to take online classes with them. Since it's a free site and everyone can view your profile, there are certainly some dangers or risks involved. Some online maniacs are on the loose looking for victims who will fall prey into their dirty hands.

Few days ago, I received a message from a stranger. He sent me a message through Skype informing me that he saw my profile at this certain site for online teachers, and so I replied back. Luckily (or unluckily, which I believe is the more appropriate word), he was online at that time. He introduced himself and told me that he's from Ireland and he's currently here in Palawan, Philippines for a vacation. He said that he's looking for a personal secretary who can travel with him wherever he goes and he needs a secretary to arrange his flight and hotel bookings, and do some paper works for his business. He provided me with the compensation package. But, knowing that it's impossible for me take this kind of job, I immediately informed him that as much as this job holds a wonderful opportunity, I need to turn down the offer. Then, he offered me another job which I can do at home as his virtual secretary--sounds amazing, right? And here's more, he said that he was going to pay me a sum of 10 USD per hour. With this amount of money he was offering as a compensation, I thought that perhaps the tasks might really be a tedious one considering the amount he was willing to pay. However, at that moment, I was already having doubts. I wondered whether this man was really a legitimate employer or just another scammer or even worst, a predator. Though having these doubts, I still allowed him to interview me.

I was suddenly dumbfounded when he told me about his conditions if I were to work as his virtual secretary. He requested that if I'd be working for him, I need to pretend that I'm single--was he kidding me, seriously? And this even sounded very unprofessional, he asked me if I have a Facebook account. He even made some remarks that I look like a Mexican actress--well, I was flattered for a second with that remark. But what really surprised me the most was him telling me that I can be a model and wear bikinis--now, this was way too weird. I mean, what was the connection between hiring me as a virtual secretary and bikinis?--none, right? Besides, wearing bikinis are still far from my list of wishes. Then, he asked me if could stand up because he wanted to see my whole body. It made me furious because it was all clear to me that this guy was nothing but an online sexual predator. I needed to get away from this "scam-a-lama-ding-dong" and so I ended the conversation and removed him from my contact list.

It is just quite disappointing that there are some maniacs who pretend to be employers, and taking advantage of people's profiles posted on different job sites. They sound very professional when they interact with you. First, they try to win your trust by saying a lot good stuff about you, but this is just one of the many strategies they use until they finally achieve in convincing you to do what they want. Think twice before doing anything and try to verify the employer's background if possible.

Self-Made Quotes

noreply@blogger.com (maybel) — Sat, 27 Aug 2011 04:07:00 +0000

Here are some of the quotes I made myself which I posted in Facebook.

"I have never been to Prison but I have already been a prisoner on probation. Now, I am on Parole"

"Men should stop spoiling women falsely with their "overrated praises"---it's like making a piece of bronze appear gold."

"They say Truth Hurts, but it's the Truth But why don't I get hurt when someone tells me I'm beautiful? Does it mean it's not true?"

"The End of Sanity Marks the Beginning of Freedom...--- I'm somewhere halfway of it"

"It's difficult to make a better Choice when your Options are nothing less than a piece of trash."

My Affair with C!

It's all love no hate relationship with my true love, C. I can't simply start my day right without the savoring company of C. I admit that I could not resist the temptation and it simply cripples my mind and body not having C even for just one day. Oh well, before you make any conclusions, I am just referring to my cup of COFFEE.

The sweet, bitter, and creamy taste of coffee is just the perfect beverage for my palate--be it hot or cold. The most number of cups of coffee I had in one day was 6. Most people would probably end up wide awake and unable to sleep but believe it or not, the moment I rested my head on my pillow that night, I instantly fell asleep. The coffee did the trick...hahaha

There have been many research and articles about coffee. Some say it's good for the health because it has antioxidants which lower the risks of cancer, heart disease, and memory loss. And of course, here's the best part which I like the most, they say it keeps you looking young.

Have a Cup of Coffee!

I just deleted my previous blog and made an entirely new one which I named "Chill 'n Chillax." I simply didn't like some of the articles I posted in my previous blog. Also, I have not updated it too for quite some time. I hope this one will be a better blog with interesting articles. Too bad I didn't export some of my articles from my previous blog but anyway I am looking forward to a wonderful and fresh blog.
