Book Currently Read

This book by Mitch Albom is one of the greatest books I've read. Though I'm still not done with it yet. It is definitely a must-read book. It's like when you're leafing through every page of this book, you are watching a movie. That's how well Mitch Albom did the story. Thanks to my sister who made me realize that I almost forgot that I used to read books before. Now, I'm bringing my old self back.

Insanity for Chocolates

I am totally craving for chocolates. The last time I ate one was just 3 days ago. But it was not enough. I still want more. Does someone there share the same passion? Well then we just have to make a move and indulge to what our senses tell us to do. Buy some chocolates! We should not suppress what our tongue demands. Does that sound awful?

As I browsed the web, I found those pictures of sumptuous and mouth-watering sweets. They're so tempting. I couldn't resist them. I could really anticipate that my death should really be blamed to chocolates. Poor chocolates, they're being branded as culprits. This is totally madness!

Don't they look nice? Of course, they do! After this, I might have to shop for chocolates! It's our exam in math later on but I don't seem to care even a bit because of this craze. It's hopeless. Let's scream and blow other's ears out for what we want. CHOCOLATES!

I will never get tired of sweets. They make me happy just delighting my taste buds with their impeccable taste. With just one glance at them, they make me melt. You read it right, I'm the one who melts. Creepy? No it's not. That's definitely what they do to me. They are sensational!

Some say chocolates are aphrodisiac. With just its simple pleasure of its consumption, one could feel sensuality and some sort. I guess I have to agree with that. Because chocolates are as irresistible as seduction right? Is that uncalled for? You just have to have an open mind to accept what I said. [I speak for those whose minds are conserved. I sound like defending now. Poor me :_(

Having Fun Yet?

I got this set of questions from a bulletin. I just thought of posting this too because I have nothing else to do. I just want to keep going while having my free time. I think this will be fun.

That's it! It didn't do much but at least I could say it tried to make me think. That's just it. I don't think I made sense posting this but let's just give it a try.

Love Conquers Math

We didn't have our class in Math! It was a very pleasant surprise. This Thursday will be our 3rd long exam. I'm getting seriously pressured. I have to pass this, or else I'm out! My parents are really going to be so mad at me if I fail them the third time around. I pray that God helps me out. I hope my effort works. The fourth time will probably kick me out of UP. Courtesy of my mom. If I won't pass math, I'm going to be transferred to another school. Damned Katrina. That idea stinks. It doesn't smell awesome!
One more month and it's going to be the end of the semester! I can't wait for that. But as I see it, it still is a long way to go. We still have a lot of requirements to accomplish. Not to say the monstrous exams ahead of us! I'm sacred, it gives me the creeps just contemplating about it.
So what do we have to do? Well, as for me, I just have to think about the good memories that might happen during the sem break. That could be a good way to break the odds. I don't want to think about those bloody exams. They just make me day awful!

Not being Loaded to My Central

I had a bad morning. I'm definitely mad. I think I really am a bit rusty at everything now because I'm not feeling emotionally well. I just hope that someone says sorry and make it up to me sooner.
If not, fumes of fury will really exude from my being. Sorry for being too poetic. :D I didn't mean to let that out from me (kidding aside).
Well, I should have known that this day starts off really bad. I don't want to let this happen again. It is actually annoying me while bursting this out from my chest. All I think about at this very hour is irritation, anger, rampage, wrath or whatsoever. I just hope this day ends right. It's not healthy to be thinking of negative thoughts all through the day. I guess I have to say that I'm not an emo. I just feel depressed and angry at this very moment.
This state is pathetic, I have to say. It sickens me a lot airing out my sentiments but look what I'm doing. I'm making myself more upset just thinking about it. Help! I need utmost help! I'm drowning with too much negatives.
Am I over reacting? If so, reach me out and tell me everything. Slap me so I could see the ray. As what Santiago of The Alchemist said, this moment will eventually become just a memory. That piece made me feel better though.

Everything's Changing

I just love Christmas!

I just had my new hair cut. I had it last Saturday. August 30 to be exact. Speaking of the 30th of August, it was only a few days ago. And now, it's already the 3rd of September. Time really flies so fast. I guess we're all having fun that's why we haven't noticed the rush of time.

Three months to go and it's going to be Christmas. Yuletide scent will be wafting all over the world. i am so much excited for that. I love it when everyone's in an adrenaline rush to buy something special for Noche Buena. It's definitely undeniable to be that hopeful that you could receive presents. I really wish I would have even one. =D
If i could get some bucks from my mom or pop, I would have to buy everything that I've always wanted to have at this very moment. Some of them are:

- a pair of new sandals
- rubber shoes
- office eye wear
- new skinny jeans (Herbench)
- Blouses
- and a lot more that my brain can't process right now

I hope this year ends smoothly. I can't afford to have another rough year. It sure got me emotionally stressed the past year. I don't want to let it happen again.

Be at Rest

It's the end of the week! Time to get kicked. Time to say Thank God it's Friday! No other day is better than Friday. I wanna go home and take a rest. I miss my bed and everything that I stare at whenever I get bored. I miss doodling a lot. Writing senseless things just to make the most out of your time. For me it does make sense. It all depends on what we affirm to. remember the theory of concrete affirmation? Thanks to the great philosopher Sir Pavo!

Heard about the Kadayawan festivities lately? It's making a lot of noise around the metro. It's coming up soon. Actually it's kick off celebration will be this Sunday. Am I right or I am right? As far as I know, there will be a lot of activities all over again for the week-long celebration. Some will be Cultural shows, Lumad celebrations, Indak-Indak sa kadalanan, Float Parades, Hiyas ng Kadayawan and many others. We should check them all out. Let us support Philippine festivals. That is to increase the tourism rate in this poverty stricken country. Did I sound so noble? That should account for something.

Yesterday

I had a conversation with the Koreans who came for a cultural show yesterday. they were so friendly. I could attest to that. They notice every single detail that they noticed from you. I think that shows their interest in knowing one person.

I enjoyed talking to them. I was glad that Jovi appreciated my art work when he browsed my sketch pad. They even took a picture of it. That pinkie promise also reminded me of something. That promises are really important for them.

I also tried their Kimchi. It's their national food I guess. Koreans are famous for that. It's so spicy. I think Kimchi is just served as a side dish made to enhance the flavor of our meals. It was made of onions. But Recipe Zaar stated its ingredients and how it's done:

Ingredients

* 1 lb sized head Chinese cabbage
* 2 tablespoons sea salt
* 4 cups cold water
* 1 tablespoon fresh garlic, chopped
* 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, finely chopped
* 1 tablespoon green onion, finely chopped
* 2 teaspoons dried chili pepper flakes
* 2 teaspoons sugar
* 1 tablespoon sea salt

Directions

1
Separate and wash the cabbage leaves.

2
Sprinkle them with the 2 tbsp of salt.

3
Place them in a non corrosive dish (Pyrex) and pour in the 4 cups cold water, cover with plastic wrap and place in fridge over night.

4
The water should cover the leaves if not place a heavy object on them to keep them submerged.

5
After sitting overnight pour off the water and rinse the leaves well, shake out excess moisture. ( I used my lettuce dryer to remove the extra moisture).

6
Mix the garlic, ginger, green onion,chili flakes,sugar & 1 tbsp salt, stir together.

7
Pour 11/2 cups of very hot water over the mixed seasoning.

8
Place cabbage leaves in a large zip lock bag or in a bowl, pour in the seasoning, mix well so the seasoning is on every leaf.

9
Place in the fridge for two days. Flip the bag every time you open the fridge door.

10
To serve cut the leaves into 2" strips and serve as a side condiment.

11
To store pack the cabbage into a jar and store in the fridge it will keep for several days to a week or more.

I hope I could meet them again somewhere. I would love to know their culture more. Knowing different cultures is really one of a kind. I just love talking to people from different races. I love it when I introduce my culture to others and vice versa.

After the conversation we had, i realized how I love my course. Communication arts is really my passion. I will never trade my course for anything better than it, for I think it's the best ever.

No room for talking trash

I was cross examined. It didn't do any pressure to me except for the extreme coolness of the room. I wasn't able to speak normally because my jaws are trembling. Of course it's not because I was nervous. That was so embarrassing. Good thing they didn't actually notice it. But I'm not quite sure about that.

One more thing I have to let out is that I can rest without worries tonight! Hollers out! Exams for this week are done. This week is really one heck of a tiring week. I had my head ache because it's too drained to think about academics. At last I'm going to have a break at exactly 5:30 this afternoon! Let me hear you scream!

Poise under pressure. That's what I believe in. Despite everything sickening me these past few days, I still am in the mood to freshen myself up. That will never be omitted in my list.

This day is a seventh heaven for me. I think I ought to say that. And you ought to know that! Get your freak on fellas!

I'm in a GOTH mood

This imge is not intended for copyright infringement.

I am so fascinated with the gothic air I'm breathing in today. It's like black sets my spirits high at the moment. I'm gonna try wearing that fashion soon. But I think it's going to be nice with a camera in hand. That is to capture the moments of your goth mood, right?

i have researched some dose of information about goths and i found out it is not just a mere fashion. It is actually religion. Goths believed that they just see beauty and it's coming destruction at the same time. creepy isn't it? But of course, it's not that I'm biased. It's just that I don't think like them. I just don't see myself believing them.

They also quoted that goth is the ability to find art where art seems to be lacking. That profound passage is really striking. Goths just shows how they appreciate something where everyone seems to dislike it.

R.G.Green also said that when Goth dies, God laughs. I found this quote very funny! Could that be true?

A few reporters have also associated Goth with Satanism, violence, white supremacy and intolerance. The implication was that the Goth culture had been the cause of the alleged perpetrators' obsession with revenge, and thus is at least partly responsible for the homicides.

Some factors that are commonly observed are:

* Its unique music, art and literature.

* The use of extreme black clothing, light colored makeup, unusual hair styles, body piercing, bondage items, etc.

* A fascination with medieval, Victorian and Edwardian history.

* Wearing of symbols such as a Christian cross; an Egyptian ankh or "Eye of Ra," or "Eye of Horus;" a Wiccan pentacle, a Satanic inverted pentacle. etc.

* Goths tend to be non-violent, pacifistic, passive, and tolerant. Many in the media have mistakenly associated Goth with extreme violence and hatred of minorities, white supremacy, etc.

* Many Goths write about being depressed. Followers seem sullen and withdrawn, when in public. They are often much more "happy and carefree in the company of [other] Goths." Examples of depression are:

"Tigriss," commenting on her own life, writes: "So my gothic persona fit me quite well. My black clothing and dark music aptly reflected my own depression, pain, and anger which was what I made most of my life about. Most of my goth friends had dysfunctional families and troubled childhoods as mine. We could identify with each other through our dark make-up and painful pasts."
