unleashed

2013-04-16T07:11:00.001+08:00

i have been listening to my music playlist lately again. i love music, i do, but sometimes, i tend to get too absorbed in working. very wrong indeed, but it happens to me (and probably to some of you as well). a few days ago, a friend of mine gave me an MP3 file of a song she likes, and she wanted me to listen to it. and whoala! it was as if the music lover in me was unleashed! for the last

life is simple

2013-03-12T08:11:00.001+08:00

this is your life. do what you love, and do it often. if you don't like something, change it. if you don't like your job, quit.

magandang umaga, pilipinas!

i'm not sure what is with me right now, but i really feel like it's a saturday. i'm sure yesterday has got to do with it -- it felt like friday yesterday. :-D funny as it may seem, but again, what's with the confused body clock in me? around 7:00am, south super highway it's not as if i had a honeymoon paris-like vacation and travelling through different timezones messed up my body clock. well

black or white?

i think i mentioned before that i only prefer Android over iOS gadgets because of affordability. i mean, i think they both have their own strengths in terms of software and hardware (i'm mostly leaning toward Apple when it comes to the hardware). but when you are offered a huge discount on an iOS device, who are you to say no? why choose only one? :-)

Google Philippines

2013-01-24T10:50:00.002+08:00

Have you heard? :-) Google has just launched its office here in the Philippines. It's going to be a marketing/sales office for now, I guess, but maybe soon they'll consider putting up a technical team here as well. Good luck, Google! Google Team Pilipinas! Internet giant Google Inc. announced on January 23 the opening of its Philippine office in Makati City. In the driver's seat is Country

January is already over. And I am now going to start my year. =) In the mood for being positive, I am”feeling” that this month will start a good 2012 for me. Since January has been sooo hectic, I really didn’t feel the new year coming—January seemed like the month of making up for all the petiks and the gastos of December. I think I have already recharged. So I will now start my new year today

Mordsith is on almost halfway on her last year in law school. I saw the post below and it somehow made me smile because i also felt her 'ups and downs' since Day 1. Just sharing this to you, in case you haven't read this from her now inactive blog. Well, another semester has just passed. Looking back, I really had the hardest time in law school; I even had to quit my office job. Let’s pray I

the piano

2013-01-11T02:38:00.000+08:00

here's another one of my old posts from my other site. I used to play the piano. For two years. I stopped playing when my music teacher stopped coming over to our house. The truth is I was just forced to study the piano (at that time, I wanted to enroll to Taekwondo classes). At times, I even pretended to sleep until noon or just until my music teacher leaves the house. My teacher said I

just want to share this funny incident yesterday when i was in a bus on my way to manila. a beautiful song was playing and one of the passengers near me almost shouted, "i love this song! this is by bruno mraz!" oh well. i tried to hide my laughter but it was just too much. she noticed me laughing, and i don't know if she realized what i was laughing about, because she whispered something to her

I think the cutest part in babies’ life is when they start talking and interacting and they’re still bulol. haha. They aren’t too dependent anymore, and they already have preferences. Keng already knows which clothes she prefer or what watch to wear (she always chooses big Ben Ten watches over smaller toys, like native goggles). They’re like talking baby dolls or qouting my tito, “parang

happy new year everyone!!!

nothing but the best... this is what i wish for all of my friends and family. and to all of you (no matter how many you are) reading this. :-)

new year, new blog

2013-01-01T16:01:00.001+08:00

I'm starting a new blog. There are a lot of reasons but primarily it's because I am kinda losing control on what to write here. If you are one of my "avid" readers, you'll notice that the last few posts are mostly dahil sa pangangailangan. Hehehe. I have actually started the other blog already but I cannot maintain it regularly. I will try now, starting this week. I'm just trying to research

wants and needs

2013-01-01T15:46:00.002+08:00

It is an undeniable fact that some of us consider mobile phones as a need, and not a want or a luxury. I do consider my mobile phones (a feature phone for most texting and calling; and a smartphone for work-related stuff). I don't think I would be needing more than two smartphones. But if your network provider calls you and offer you another smartphone (one of the best if not the best) for almost

post-new year's eve post

2013-01-01T14:46:00.000+08:00

So, how was your new year's eve celebration, guys? There was a lot of fireworks in our place and for a moment last night, it felt like lab furnaces surround our house as it was really hot, smoky outside. I only got to watched the "spectacles" for a few minutes, though, because our dog was so afraid of the fireworks. I had to accompany her inside the house so she won't feel alone. I cannot imagine

reality check

2013-01-01T13:10:00.003+08:00

Some wishful thinkings are just good for that – wishful thinking – IF you do nothing. For the past few weeks (perhaps months), I've been wishing so hard of having some not-so-simple stuff – a new car, a new house (been searching in fact some Oak Island real estate at SeaCoastRealty.com), a MacBook Pro, and a 6-pack abs. ;-) I realized they can either remain as such, or they can be a reality if I

office makeover

2012-12-31T13:43:00.000+08:00

I visited my friend Mordsith recently and stayed with them for about 3 days. I couldn't be happier being with her and her family. :-) But this is not about that (as it will take a few days for me to write something about that.) This is about what happened at home while I was away. My siblings and mom took the liberty of cleaning our office (we are on vacation until the 4th of January) and they

last minute shopping

2012-12-31T13:41:00.000+08:00

My sister asked me to drive her to the mall early this morning as she does her last shopping for 2012. She's not there to shop peavey guitars or any personal stuff or accessories. She's in charge of the media noche for tonight. We'll be having a simple dinner lang naman. Pasta, some fruits, sandwiches, and of course, alcoholic drinks. For tonight, it'll be mojito from Tanduay. Hehehe. How about

gift ideas?

2012-12-29T15:03:00.000+08:00

Time is like a flowing river, no water passes beneath your feet twice, much like the river, moments never pass you by again, so cherish every moment that life gives you and have a wonderful New Year. I was thinking of just printing the above and purchasing a twist tie to wrap it like a gift so I can give this to people who matter to me. But I guess I can also just post it here, text them, or

christmas gifts!

2012-12-27T15:28:00.000+08:00

I'm sure by now you already have given your gifts to your family and friends. I still have some with me because I really planned to visit these people after Christmas and before New Year. I have some toys, some beauty regimen stuff, and some accessories for my family and friends. My problem is I still don't have a gift for Mocha, our lovely dog. :-) My sister suggests that I buy her a bed (

happy holidays!!!

2012-12-26T19:05:00.001+08:00

pahabol: sana naging masaya ang pasko nating lahat at maging mas lalong masaya ang darating na bagong taon. marry christmas and a happy, happy new year everyone!!! --- on a not-so-serious note, let me just mention that i might be posting a series of "very, very serious posts." dala lang ng pangangailangan. :-D don't worry, guys, i won't be asking you to do bs stuff like asking you to

more on gifts

2012-12-24T16:12:00.000+08:00

My brother has a special request for his gift and I am not sure exactly how to find one. He wants something music-related. He plays a few instruments and I don't think buying a new and different instrument is what he wants. So, I was thinking of an accessory for the instruments that he already has. I am thinking of an affordable moog slim phatty from guitar centers in the area. It's pricey, but I

political drama is more exciting than a soap opera

2012-12-18T11:12:00.001+08:00

i wonder why tv producers are not making political drama series when clearly, people are more glued to their tv sets when there ongoing debates being aired on tv. take the case of the rh debate which ended (of course there is still the bicam) yesterday. i for one have been in front of the tv the whole afternoon watching how senators debate each other. it's full of s%&+ and more bs. i sometimes
