Weeks and weeks

Let's keep this thing alive, shall we? ;)

It was another loaded week last week. A good kind of loaded. As I would always quip, it's better than bumming around. Anyhow, I did lots of things for mi tutorials, doing all these reviewers and things like that since it's exam season and everyone knows how a busy season it is for teachers, tutors. And tiring it is, it had been helpful as I look for more ways on how to make these kids learn those lessons. :)

Sadly, this busyness made me miss doing things like this. Well, honestly, most of the time, all the thoughts are just stuck in my head. Hehe. Thankfully, instead of staring on a blank screen, I blog-hopped and found some awesome new blogs to follow and read. :) (I'll make a post on this/them some time soon. *cross fingers*) Really stoked about my new finds. Yes, yes, the internet is a good thing in the first place. Hehe. Made me want to do more with my craft. :)

Hmm, on a semi-related note, I'll leave you with this one in lieu of missed February posts and that supposed entry about love which I will be writing someday. I'm just not sure when, though. Coolio video. ♥

The Proposal

Boom! I don't know  why the video won't upload. You can click on the title/link instead:)

Keep calm, yes keep calm

I am a panicky person.

I don't know. It's really obvious when I'm bothered by something because I get clumsy and all. That is why it is quite hard for me to keep calm. Ironically though, back in high school, I believed I was "calm" because I don't get shaky nervous whenever I join contests. I get "numbed", I'd like to quip, of nervousness. Oh well, I have learned that there are more nakaka-pressure circumstances in life than contests. Ha-ha! Now, I get it. Maybe the reason why I had that belief about myself is that because contests were the few things that were my life back then. Apparently, it's way different today. And I am thankful that I am exposed to such things.

It's a happy thing to know that you're learning. Even if oftentimes it's hard, we just have to do it, you know. As it is often true, those of worth are the hardest to work on. Ok, so back to the "panic". It has been always my prayer not to get out of any situation without learning anything. And I am praying the same today. I am praying to continually learn to keep calm and carry on and make it to that day when panic is not anymore in my vocabulary. ;)

And the picture? I edited it to make it my phone's wallpaper to remind to Keep Calm and Carry On. Better yet, to Keep Calm and Pray. :)

 

Still - Hillsong United

p.s Wait, I should be working on something else!! Ha-ha!

Howdy!

It's been a while and boom! it's February. Something's with this month; I realized that just as of this writing. True enough, this has been a roller coaster month so far. I suddenly am having paperwork to do (aside from my pending work which I have to update like NOW!). I like how things are going with regards to this writing. It is a bit "scary" for me being a noob but I like the fact that I am learning from this experience:)

 Meanwhile, love month is on. Sure that's one primary reason why everyone's excited. As for me, I have been learning much from Lifemixx. Lalalove, indeed. But that would be another entry, about the whole love thing.
What I'm really trying to point out is that while everyone's all over Valentine's, Generals are buzzing over Kalilangan.

You see, this is one of the biggest festivals of the city and I am happy to announce that they actually came up with lots of activities this year, considering that the events started today when the festival opening is still on the 21st.

I haven't really attended the festivities full-time, by which I mean I only catch up with the street dancing thing - something I started doing just two years ago. I do hope to participate more. In fairness, gumagala na rin ako sa plaza tuwing Pebrero. :)) AND yes! I do hope you'll participate, too! :)

Here's the link to the schedule of activities for you to check out!

These days

I just had one my I-really-feel-like-an-adult-now-days. Ha-ha! What a way to describe this day. Boon and bane. I had pending work, new work and thinking about future work. :) I thought of so many things -thoughts, that is- and hope they could one day show up on your screen. (I just figured this could read "I thought of so many thoughts." Wrong, right?Whatever)

I am excited to read Productive Pinoy by Yeng Remulla. Ok, I have to say the cover got me. But it was the title that struck me. Productivity. Pinoy. Yes, Pinoy context. Reminded me of ItsmorefuninthePhilippines, I don't know why. Anyways, I had read a couple of pages when Ira showed it to me. (It was from her that I learned about the book.)  Funny and indeed true. I can't wait to read it.

p.s I can be the exact opposite of the title. It's time to become the title. Please. Srsly :)

Thirtieth aka promosyon

One of my college classmates planned a meet-up several weeks ago. The plan was to really get the portfolios from our former prof's house and at the same time spend some time there. Fast forward this week, our prof agreed to have us! This is really something (at least, for me) since (it seems to me that) she's kind of a private person. Hehe. But she was really nice to let us in! :))

 It was a nice house that we couldn't help taking pictures! We brought some food to share over convo. Some played a little with the piano. :)  And they tried belly-dancing! Ha-ha! How was that for a visit?! Had it been earlier, we could've watched a movie! Apparently, there were only a few of us. Few as in seven. Ha-ha! Others weren't able to come because of other appointments. (We'll try better with the organizing next time. :)) It was fun, though. Personally, it was a privilege to be spending some time our at former prof's residence, not to mention she's really one of the people I (we) admire in the academe. And we get to meet her soon-to-be-geologist daughter whom she had told us stories about back in college. Well, syempre na-starstruck na naman ako. Ha-ha!

While the others are taking pictures, I cannot help look at these

 I just love publications from LIFE. Seeing sister publications of the now-defunct LIFE magazine excites me!! :)) There were other good reads, too! I wanna go back there and borrow some! Ha-ha! We took more pictures, talked about the future, and listened to words of wisdom. Such an experience. 

 The mall was, I think, the next destination in mind. But because of the portfolios which are somewhat Breaking Dawn-thick, and of some other appointments, we just parted ways. Not me and Mel, though. XD! I accompanied her to the mall and we just took a stroll. And devoured this

 Melody! Bakit ba tayo walang picture?!  Ha-ha!

 

 

The almost year-end post

I have so many things, persons, events, and everything to be thankful for this year but this ain't the post for that. Not yet. But this is one of them, to say.

I stayed at Davao for two days for the license registration. Thankfully, I'm done with it and finished the whole process in a breeze. At least, early enough to catch lunch. A one-day thing turned to be an overnight stay because my college classmates and I wanted to line up the earliest possible time at PRC. Read: 5am :)

Nothing fancy this time. We took the night off at a boarding house to save. :)) I missed the whole wi-fi thing at FTC Towers but it was just fine. We just headed straight to our business, ate lunch at Penong's, rested for a while and headed back home. Really nothing fancy since the day's really tiring and everyone else (yes, so including me) has to catch up with something back home. :) We enjoyed this ride to the boarding house because the PUV is new to us. The terrain also is amusing! We acted like kids! Ha-ha!)

It was also my first time to eat at Penong's. I'm Chacha Loser for not having pictures of the food :(...but definitely, it's something you shouldn't miss when going to Davao. Think Mang Inasal sincerely Davao :).

I enjoyed the streets of Davao because of its busyness. ;) I don't know I have this thing for busy streets and traffic is nice (somehow) because it gives you time to take shots! Hehe. I'm not good at taking pictures though. I'm working at it :))

 

 I like this trip because Bonamine did work on me or shall I say, my system finally accepted Bonamine and saved me from a lot of (gross) hassle. And they played Three Idiots on the bus. Laugh and cry at the same time :)

Ooops! I ain't fashion blogger. But I have been reading several for some time now. And all these are getting into me. Boon and bane. Boon in a sense that I an learning how to dress-up and style even just a bit. It's a bane because it's really getting into me. 

I've been this lately, trying to come up with something more than the shirt + jeans that I used to be in for four years. Well, it's been shirt and jeans still but the shirt has some style now, being flow-y and all that. Plus, I'm into boyfriend jeans lately (I just folded the bottom of this one). And the shoes. I'm not yet ready with heels so I opted to have this one from Primadonna I like that despite their wide array of heels, platforms, and wedges, they have these flats and shoes that are not really that feminine. :) Albeit I'd like to wear the heels someday. :)) 


Apparently,I'm thinking of ensembles to wear so I'd look a bit more professional. Ha-ha!
