I think I'm fallin for you

2009-09-15T21:34:00.002+08:00

I think I'm fallin' for Colbie's new album :P especially her "Never let you go" deluxe version song which is my new background song. =)

How's everybody ? my time management goal seems to be taking it step-by-step.. but it's taking so slow.. Still late for classes, but gladly wakes up and works things up faster than before ^O^..

Anyway, 2 of my fave hobbies has taken the next level: business. I introduced my beadworking and metalworking at school and some took interest in buying it :D ! Making beaded bags and beaded metal bookmarks are now my thing during breaktimes :).. pics soon.

Here's my newest vid:

Biggest challenge

2009-08-15T08:06:00.005+08:00

what's your biggest challenge so far ?

mine, that is,

TIME MANAGEMENT

not just at school, but at everything I do. I admit, I'm not a very time-conscious person, which makes me late for 7:00 morning classes =,=.. Yet I've always wondered why my high school classmates tell me that I can do a lot of stuff in a day -- which up till now, I don't have a concrete answer. Maybe it's about "multi-tasking". I always do that. But these days, multi-tasking and time management don't jive they way they did in high school :(...

Just when you thought you've finished a puzzle, another one comes out =,=...

....school, church, personal Bible study, family, friends, piano, art and blogging...

I've prayed for help, and now it's time for me to put it together and do some action :D !

My 2nd month

2009-07-23T20:36:00.007+08:00

The first day was silent, the next day blue. The next thing we knew, section 1-1 of BSN (Bachelor of Science in Nursing) was full of bees laughing its heart out.

It's my second month in this institution, DSLHSI Dasma. So far, I've overcome the pessimism of being invisible in class. I finally knew my classmates, and they knew who I am, which is a good thing ;P. And with regards to BSN 11 as a whole, we're a crowd full of different people yet somehow, united in some ways =)

Woot ! Preliminary exams just swept past this week. And boy, that was fast. It's like, you're still absorbing what you've just learned when suddenly, it's your major exam ! That's what I noticed in college. Time flies so fast, even faster than what high school calls "fast". Here, it's hard to find time for slacking off. Unless you really want to :p. But, nah, better be safe than sorry.

For the first time, I felt...

2009-06-24T10:41:00.004+08:00

both nervous and excited at the same time.
College just ticked off for me last week. I wasn't the "transfer" type, so I never really knew what to feel or expect. But anyway, there I was, facing the new challenge ahead of me, summing up all my might not to faint or fall back. It's hard you know, most of them already had their cliques or barkadas for that matter. Others already knew each other from high school. That's quite fortunate, at least they wouldn't sit alone at lunch. But I did knew someone from our class - Chester. She was my classmate when I was in grade 4, but we're not that close.
anxiousness.
How can they pick up that fast? How can they just knew each other today and talk with each other so freely? I guess that's the miracle of meeting and making new friends. AND one of my weakness. My friends may not know it, but I'm really the shy, taciturn type when it comes to a new environment. I can really go out all day saying nothing - yep, nothing...the opposite of what I can be when I'm with my old friends. I admit, I was kinda raised inside a box... not wanting to go outside and beyond. Furthermore, I grew in a school where everybody knew who I was, and how to please me so easily. I regretted underestimating my 4 years with them ;(..
the fear of reality.
When the first day ended in a blur, I realized, and remembered, for the first time, what my teachers always told us. "In college, you'll meet reality." The words keep echoing in my head louder and louder, like a megaphone. I hated myself for ignoring them =(.. I knew it was gonna happen, but I regretted for not taking them seriously. In college, I saw a lot of multi-colored people. Here, "so what?" and "who cares?" dominates. People would not always agree with you. People can do whatever they want. I saw people in groups - twos, threes, fours, and bigger, just like in high school. But what made me think is that I saw students walking alone. Definitely different. I remember a new friend of mine asked a 2nd year student why she's alone studying during break. She said she's not friendly much, but she does have friends. It's just that sometimes, you have to do things alone, like serious studying. College really is a different kind of reality... and you're on your own to make your way out.
like a black and white portion amidst the colored ones of the picture.
I seriously felt that when I got called two times in front to do an example of the activity, only to be embarrassed because I didn't do it right >.< ... And at that same time, I heard that one of my newest friends were to be exchanged, moved rather, to a another section [we were too many]. Of all the people, why her? *sigh*...Just when I was getting the hang of it.
getting the hang of it.
I decided to move to a much brighter side, since I appear to be so pessimistic on my earlier paragraphs. I knew I wasn't going anywhere if I would just sit and wait for someone to talk to me. So I remained smiling, friendly at all possible costs, and saying "hi" whenever I got a new seatmate in each class. In the next few days, I finally had someone to be with. They were fun, and so cheery that I'd almost forget why I'm worried. Two of them knew each other in high school, the other made friends with them easily. Me? a newbie ;p.. I listened to them on the most parts...since I really don't have anything to share that's worth sharing at the moment. But as I gradually observed their behavior, what they like and don't like, their initial reactions and stuff, I could finally make a comment that wouldn't offend the mood of making a new friendship. Soon I realized, it wasn't just them that's cheery, but the whole class was. We had a "tambayan".. They shared their thoughts, laughter, worries, cameras, and even their cellphone numbers - the things a typical teenage group would do during bonding moments. I'm finally lighting up and getting the hang of it. I'm more that grateful to Jehovah God for helping me get through this :).. He's a good friend :)
SICK.
Yep, sick with FLU.. I don't exactly remember when's the last time I got sick, err, maybe during 2nd year high ?.. But that was like, a fever for two or three days, then you're ready to kick off again ;p.. This one's different, way different. Last Saturday, I had a headache first thing in the morning, which made me lose my appetite. Then I suddenly felt hot. I knew this was a fever, so I took medicine. I quickly tried to remember what I'd do when I was sick before, and followed mom/doctor's guidelines: drink LOTS of fluids, take medicine, REST, observe. I did so, and by the time she got home my temperature was still rising... The next day, I was a bit better - with my temp going down to normal. But I still got headache.. Again, I lost appetite, but my body needs food and medication so I ate breakfast and had medicine. Then that's where it began. I felt nauseous and went straight to the comfort room. Sure enough, I vomitted T.T - a thing I definitely hated the most. All the eggs and hotdogs along with my medicine came rushing out like an inedible mixture - all gone. By the end of the day, I was getting better, I hope, and went to school the next day. In school, I realized it's not just me who's having this flu. Most of my classmates are. We feared it might be and desperately hoping it isn't, the new Influenza A(H1N1) virus that had attacked Phils this year.. By Tuesday [yesterday], the university announced a suspension of classes due to the a suspected case of that virus. and, to my surprise, one of the suspected students are in our college of Nursing >.<.. But not from our level though.. That was quite a relief.. And I read on Yahoo news that Metro Manila is under low/mild flu outbreak. We're near Manila, and hopefully this flu I'm having is just a normal one like the news said. One factor could be the abrupt change of climate these days. And so I'm staying at home, weak and tired-looking, but trying my best to get well soon.

I decided to quarantine myself for now, letting the virus die out before personally contacting others. I might sound exaggerating, but really, 'tis the first time I felt so weak, just from a flu. I miss the congregation meetings though, the spiritual foods and my Bible study. T.T If only I could hug him, with my sincerest gratitude, I would...

P.S. wow, this wasn't intended to be a long novel ;p.. but then again, writing is my one way of expressing myself :)

Tomorrow is IT

2009-06-14T21:24:00.005+08:00

With the capital I and T.. Iup, my first day of being a college freshie.. How I feel about this ? I honestly can't describe it.. it's a mixture of jitters, butterflies [in my stomach], excitement[?] and everything..

I'm feeling this way because all my life, I've stayed in one school. Yep, in one school - from kindergarten to high school. So, I've never experienced the "I'm new here and I hope to be your friend" kind of thing.. and this will be the first T_T..

Sigh... all in all, I do hope I could get past the first day successfully :D ! and try making new friends...because I'm a taciturn person when it comes to being in a new environment.. ;p

And for those taking their first day of classes as well, whether college or not, I hope you'll find yours successful too :D I'm praying to Jehovah for our journey :)

Another week of vacation ;D !

2009-06-08T22:31:00.002+08:00

Did I say 3 more days ? well, nopesy now ! ^ ^ we're granted with another week of vacation =)

The main reason:

MANILA - The Commission on Higher Education (CHED) announced Saturday that it is moving the opening of classes in colleges and universities to June 15.

"May directive si Chairman [Emmanuel] Angeles in a memo postponing the opening [of classes] in college level from June 8 to June 15 (Chairman Emmanuel Angeles has a directive postponing the opening of classes in college level from June 8 to June 15)," announced Julito Vitriolo, deputy executive director of CHED.

Vitriolo said the influenza A(H1N1) virus is the main reason for the CHED's deferment of opening of classes. He said the department wants to give students, who have travelled abroad, enough time for voluntary self-quarantine.

--ABS-CBN news

Although the reason isn't something to be happy about, it's a good opportunity to further prepare for our first day of being a college student =) ! and an excuse to have more free vacation time :P

Counting the days 'till summer ends.

2009-06-05T10:21:00.005+08:00

How many ? In reality, it's 3 more days T.T... Let's just say that the dawn of June is finally coming and reality is taking its place -- college. I just attended the Freshmen Orientation yesterday and I soon realized that on Monday, I will soon enter a new challenge. I am praying for Jehovah's guidance to help me both in my mental and spiritual studies. I am slowly gaining more knowledge about Him. Yay ! and I've resumed my Bible studies ;).. I would occasionally join the street witnessing with my cousins too. So there, I'm hoping that even though Nursing (my course) is a hard course, I will still be able to find time for the ones I love, including Him.On the other hand, we did some last summer activities that I'd like to share :D !

Bunawan Escapade

Dad and I went to his hometown, Bunawan, Agusan del Sur. The last time I could remember coming here was during my aunt's wedding, when I was abou 9 or 10 yrs old. So yeah, it's been a while. And all of them warmly welcomed me.

More at -Bunawan Escapade-

@ Galleria Hotel

After arriving in NAIA airport from Butuan City, mom fetched us and we went straight to Holiday Inn Galleria, formerly known as Manila Galleria Hotel. It's joint with Robinsons Galleria made last minute shopping a no-traffic-worry :D !

Recital Day

2009-05-21T08:20:00.004+08:00

Goood morning !

weee ! haha, finally. The 2009 Casa Musica summer recital was held last May 17, 2009. I wasn't able to attend last year since I'm out of the country, so this year my teacher ended my summer with me playing in 2 programs o.o ! She also had me play as an accompanist, soloist and duet - primo and secondo.. It's my first, and I'm quite happy with the result even though there were mistakes "=,=...

For PROGRAM 1

Castle on a cloud and Eidleweiss accompaniment

I accompanied 8-year old Danielle while singing the songs from Les Miserables and The Sound of Music =) "480" height="295"

March Militaire op.51 no.1 - duet

Jenny and I played Schubert's duet as the last number for program 1

For PROGRAM 2

Waltz of the flowers - duet

Lorhen and I played Tchaikovsky's piece - simplified version. Lorhen was an old classmate of mine in grade school.. it's great having a duet with her after four years *.*

Dalisay

Meaning "pure" in english, I played F. Buencamino's solo piece with pure intentions.. hehe =p..

There, I do hope you enjoyed my little show for today ^ ^.. You might notice some edited details on the videos.. Yup, I edited them with Sony Vegas.. Still new to this though.. But I'm happy with the result of my new piano cover - Lucky by Ashily from Boys Over Flowers' OST.. I'll show them next time ! ^ ^

Summer Life

This summer has been my "busiest" so far. And yes, the above mentioned are some of the activities that kept me quite busy. Kidding aside, have you guys noticed that my blog layout suddenly crashed ? Or maybe no. But I was shocked when I saw the File not found background. Suddenly it hit me that the image hosting site I used which is hotlinkfiles.com deleted my account due to long absence. Anyway, I think the links are up and working now. I still want to change my layout though T^T..

How's your summer ? Mine's been quite fruitful, I guess. But I still have those post-graduation syndrome - I still miss my buddies..! T^T.. My friend Erika actually arranged a movie day at my house :)), and our class will also have another get-together at Island Cove.. So yeah, we'll still gonna be seeing each other again.

On another account, the musical part of my brain is yet again boosted with inspiration by reading this and other articles:

"Pianists who begin practicing in childhood have been found to have better developed nerve pathways in parts of their brains. Scientists believe this results in better fine motor coordination." - pianostreet.com

Although I don't think it's only applicable to pianists. Read it here. The article inspired me to practice more though I never really started playing when I was a child. I started in the summer of 2005 which makes it about 4 years now :). Wow, it brings back memories. "look at the piece, read your notes" "know your dynamics" "what chord is it supposed to be?" "press louder" and lastly, "learn to RELAX!" ... hahaha, I was the type who gets anxious whenever I press a wrong note =P..

Well, that's all for now folks ! :D I do hope you got something from my endless blabber ;)

PS. for requests, drop me a note on my tagboard. YES, I am finally open for requests.

I need revamping

2009-04-03T18:50:00.008+08:00

Sandy beaches, hot sun bathing, picture taking, long days and short nights. You guessed it, summer's finally here =). But nah, I don't have any "plans" on going to the beach yet.

I think my site needs revamping, as well as my multiply account. But alas, nothing comes to my mind yet. T^T I need inspiration! sigh, I kept thinking about it today that my head hurt. Sad to say, but I'm that kind of person. I don't do things unless I'm in the mood to do them. Although I do love to try and test new things, it's just that doing them half-heartedly proves ineffective for me... So what I did was to go to devART, often my source of inspiration, and looked for pictures with the "summer" feel in them. If you have suggestions I'd love to hear them !

In the meantime, I was assigned to yet another new task from enchantment scans. Tsuki no Shippo vol7 ch43. ^ ^ It's quite cute. I've also been reading shojo mangas and watching anime lately. Some of them inspired me:

La Corda D' Oro ~secondo passo~ 's 1st episode has been released ^^. It boosted my will to play the piano again :D. Unfortunately, La corda fans, we'll have to wait for about 2 months for the next episode T^T. It's scheduled release date is on June 5. sigh...
Kaleido Star season 2 inspires me to get up and loose some weight ! hehe :D ! Although the show sometimes lack realism since some of the moves are like way too impossible, it really entertained me with its balance of funniness and seriousness. I loved it, although I was so hoping for romance to bloom.

Iup, those are my boosted areas right now. But none of them are "layout-art" related =p. I guess I still have to wait then, hehe.

Here's a follow-up on our grad pics [link] I feel kinda sad though, because some of the files corrupted T^T.

Lastly, another piano vid, *finally* :

A Thousand Miles - piano
Enjoy ! *leave comments ha*

Enjoy your summer!

I WILL miss this batch

2009-03-30T16:48:00.004+08:00

I never thought that OUR days would come to an end...

I never thought that we'd PART our ways and maybe, see each other again...

I never thought I'd CRY...

I never thought I'd say GOODBYE...

But I have always thought, yet regrettably ignored, one thing:
TIME only has the "PLAY" button
no PAUSE, no STOP, and definitely no REWIND.

I'm still not ready, but I have to be.

Tidbits before the graduation event

2009-03-27T17:29:00.004+08:00

phew ! it's about 21 hrs before the graduation event !

And I can't, until now, seem to comprehend the fact that tomorrow is indeed our graduation day.. it's too fast ! hehe, but anyway, I'd like to share some tidbits on what we did before the main event :D

TIDBITS:

*Field trip ~! 2.6.'09 more pics [link]

*Star origami - making =D

my two gorgeous violin teachers =D

*Learning to play the violin and the drums.

dine-out =D
*iup, lunch out ! Yummy !

*baby flomil "kid" ~!
I've been laughing while reminiscing my baby moments since last night :p
what do you think ? does it look like me ? :D !
more pics [link]

*Our last high school FAREWELL *tears*
yes, it's our day.. and everyone got emo with matching tears..
everything seemed to flashback that day, and yes, I cried in the end..
more pics [link]

Lastly, a 4-hour practice with Lea at my house this afternoon for our piano-violin presentation tomorrow and new sheets added to my collection at PianoFiles [link]..

So iup, those are some of the tidbits I've prepared.. and no vids for today D: I'm still learning the new handy cam that mom and dad bought so that I could record another piano vid.. But then again, I don't think I can record anything for now.. I kinda got grounded from using any of their gadgets for now..even the camera *huhuuhuhu*.!

hope you enjoyed my tidbits ^ ^

What a bummer...

2009-03-19T18:48:00.003+08:00

BAH.!

sigh... I'm a late-waker [and a slow one]. But on monday I reeeally need to wake up early for our general rehearsal at Taal Vista.. >.< and no one's gonna take me to school since mom and dad are away this week.. I have to wake up early..

and another thing that's a bummer is that my phone's LCD broke today. I'm only seeing "black". huhu, it's ringing, yes. But I can't see anything.

sigh... what a great way to end my day. T^T

A new set of retainers

2009-03-14T16:58:00.003+08:00

Yep! My braces are finally taken out this morning... Soo, it's "buhbye" to those 'lil old brackets that tickled my gums for the last 2 years [or rather, gave me those painstaking nights]. Nevertheless, it's thanks to those that my teeth are in shape now. I'm gonna miss those buddies.

Here's the new set of retainers that were given to me. I'm still getting the hang of it since it's much harder to use than the braces.

It's big burden on my speech.. huhu, some letters are hard to speak. I've taken the braces as a souvenir =P

We're currently in the last days of our high school life. Phew, 4 years has passed without me noticing. It's like all the memories are overflowing that I can't seem to comprehend that fact. And I was honored to play for our graduation song: Follow Your Dream on the piano with Lea as my violinist. And that's one of the reason why we're hectic these last few days...

Let's see, I've also signed up in plurk and flickr. ^ ^ feel free to add me there.

I'll try to post some of our new hobbies in school next time [since we don't have anything to do other than practice all day =P]

An Aching Morning to everyone..!

2009-02-21T10:10:00.003+08:00

yeap, as the title suggests, I do have an aching morning.. =,=

We just had our mass demo project in PE yesterday. It left us all beat up. Basketball, Volleyball, Gymnastics, Taekwondo, Swimming, Arnis, etc. And yes, it's our last project for this year's last semester. All we have left to worry are our exams[next week, or this week, rather], clearances, and graduation practices. ^-^ can't believe I'm finally leaving High School...

anyway, here's another vid:

Her Morning Elegance

2009-02-08T07:42:00.003+08:00

Well good morning guys !!

[good mood ah ;p] it's because I slept well and woke up early [finally], and was able to greet you all..

I just thought of posting a random entry ^-^ ...I was printing my projects in my bro's desktop when I saw him watching this video:

It's cool ne? I bet they had a hard time shooting all those still images.. I find it an art ^^.. It showed how far our imagination can get us when we're dreaming..the girl dancing with the guy, riding the train, swimming under the sea.. ;p

Well that's it for now.. tell me what you think about it ^^

Whatta week !

2009-01-18T20:48:00.006+08:00

I'll be mentioning two events for now ^-^, since I was unable to do so last time.

.:: BAGUIO BLAST ::.

Ok, so I mentioned earlier that I'd post the pics. So here it is ^-^ [link]. We went to Baguio last Jan. 9-11. The persons included in this trip: me, mom, dad, Alkim, Jackie, aunt Leah, uncle Vijay, ate Jake, ate Gay, aunt Joy and uncle Rally. phew, that's 11 tops. But then we won't suit inside the van so we hired a much bigger van, a toyota grandia one, with a driver: kuya Bobby, which [funny though], also became our national photographer. =p hehe.

First day, Friday. [I had to be absent from school, which makes it hard for me to cope up with the assignments =,=]

Now for our first stop: Subic =D.

Pic taking at Subic.

2nd stop: Tarlac.

Lunch out at Dencio's, Luisita Plaza.

We went through N-LEX, which is now a nice road compared to before. We also used SCTEX to shorten the time. This road resembles the one in Orlando, with curves and big highways.

3rd stop: Baguio ~!

At the Lion's place on the way to Baguio.

We first checked in at Hotel Veniz. Mom chose this hotel because it's in the heart of the city. So you can easily move about since the malls and the Burnham park is at it's front. I was also able to do my photoshoot for my devA =))

Dinner at Rose Bowl.

2nd day, Saturday.

at the Strawberry farm!
This is actually a demonstration farm for the tourists.

Tam-Awan Village.
They house some of the native's homes. We aslo got our sketches there.

Lourdes Grotto.
It's a looong walk, err, climb upstairs. We had to climb 252 steps to get to the top.

Lunch at Gerry's Grill, SM Baguio.
It's even colder at the topmost floor of the mall.. brrr. =,=

Botanical Garden.
It's not actually part of the itinerary. We just stopped by and took a pic or two. :p

The Mansion at Wright Park.
It's the official rest-house of the president here in Baguio.

Mines View Park.
Yeah, it's the 'lil old mines. But with all that shops and stuffs set up, we'd totally say, "Where's the mine's view ? =(" It kinda lost its beauty.

PMA. Philippine Military Academy.
Yup, there's the soldier ! =)).

Camp John Hay.
We stopped by at the outlets. I was really tired at that time so I didn't move around much.

3rd day, Sunday.

Lunch at Isdaan, Tarlac.
Their cuisine is really delicious, added with the total atmosphere and the ambiance of the resto. This is also the place where they throw plates and stuffs at the walls =p.

I think that's the last of it for the whole trip. =) Next stop: Home Sweet Home... My relatives then went back to their homes the next day as well. And all is back to normal, including school ~,~.

.::ROVER MOOT::.

I wasn't supposed to be in this camping trip, but then I need the certificate so that I would graduate. And so my presence was needed there =,=. It's tough, considering it's my very, very first time, to be out on the great outdoors, to sleep without a comfy bed, to clean myself without a nice warm bath, and to take myself away from civilization.. hehe =p

But then again, I was there. haha, and I never expected it to be fun ^-^. The camp lasted for 3 days, from Jan. 15-17, but was supposedly planned to be until 18. The place was in Freedom Ville subd., Bucana Sasahan, Naic Cavite. It's by the seashore, so yeah, it's cold out there. It wasn't rare to see people wearing jackets =).

here's the pics [link]
1st day, Thursday.

The camping site.
It's by the seashore. Lot of sands, with the, err, browny beach =,= hehe.
We set up the camp right away.

mayday, mayday, we need water..!
yes, the school has provided us with clean water for drinking, as well as a cook for our food [which makes us different from the rest =,=], but not the water for cleansing. Thus, there's the firetruck to provide it for us. But it's not always there [>...<]

Team building activities.
This wasn't any ordinary camping trip. We had activities that has corresponding awards as well.

Free time for Photoshoot.
We had some free time to clean ourselves, to eat, and to take pics ^-^.

Night Activity, Mr. Rover and Ms. Roverette.
Each school showed talents, as well as the pageant; Lea and Jerome as representatives.

That ended the 1st day's activites. We slept at about 12am. But it was really hard getting sleep since I had a runny nose. So I slept at about 12-2am, then 3-5am. phew, just 5hrs =,,=..

2nd day, Friday.

Learn-A-Trade.
We made either a bracelet or a voodoo doll as our souvenir.

First-aid/Safety Preparedness.
Our victim, Lea, was hidden in the trees with a lot of injuries. We had to make sure to bring her back alive. hehe..

The Guessing Game.
We need to guess the whole picture: the placements of materials. Our look-outs and runners: AC, Paul, Px, and Kenneth will tell it us by answering our questions with YES or NO.

Night Activity, Bonfire and acting.
Each school will present a skit/act about "Creating a better world".

2nd day ended.. yes! 2 days down, 1 to go ^-^. We slept at about 12am. But I didn't had any troubles with sleeping now. I slept so soundly that Lea had trouble waking me up =p.

3rd day, Saturday.

Games/Sports.
We had Beach volleyball, Standing Long Jump and Water war. After that, we had Water Safety. Wherein 10 persons from a school will race to the browny sea.

The almost never-ending Hiking.
There were signs, there were scouts, and there were us to do the walking. waaah, this was a tough one since we had to walk throughout the whole barangay [>..<] It made some of us sick. We walked for about 3 hrs.

Last but not the least, the Awarding night.
This was the last activity that we participated. Before this activity, we already decamped and put our baggage inside the school buses. We won 13 trophies plus 1 trophy of participation which makes it 14~! ^-^ A last look at the site and photoshoot with the team and we've headed home.

It was fun guys ^-^. Hope you like this summary of our trip. We arrived at the school at about 8pm. Dad fetched me along with MJ and we're home sweet home.

------><------ here's something for you guys ^-^

Esme's Favorite - piano

This was requested by my classmate, RX ^-^

That was quite long, haha. Anyway, this ends my entry.

Quick brake.. =D

nyahah, we just came back from road tripping Baguio ^-^ !

Actually, we had other side trips on the way.. hehe

It was sooo tiring.. The place is, as usual, cold !

I'll be posting the pics soon.. but not now.. I need sleep haha ^-^

Farvel, 2008

2008-12-31T20:30:00.000+08:00

yep, 2008 is coming to an end.. =,= and I for one could not believe that tomorrow IS actually, 2009. Time flies so fast. I suddenly thought of all the memories that I've collected during my stay in the year...How I found new friends, met old ones, strengthened my spirituality, discovered myself, my weaknesses, strengths, art, abilities and capabilities. I could not deny the fact that all of you guys are part of this discovery..! Thank you guys!

No, we do not celebrate the New Year. Yep, I'm part of the Jehovah's Witnesses. Which is also why I'm not greeting everybody about New Year. Nevertheless, we respect other people's beliefs. =]..

anyway.. more update ^-^

--last last week, my comp went CRASH LANDING. sigh.. I actually knew that it's gonna crash but just ignored it ]=. the virus Brontok is making a major comeback and is the reason [I partly think it is] that my comp crashed. Good thing I have my assignments [scanlations] and projects [school] in my flash disk for back-up. sigh.. Although it's been reformatted and restored to it's baby state, it's still showing signs of 'no good'. So now I'm using mom's laptop for a while, unless the comp's in a 'good' state =p.

--do some of you watch Nodame Cantabile ? yep it's a nice anime AND drama, with both of the seasons finished. It came from the manga that is still ongoing. I just finished the paris-hen season and it was nice, although the drama has more details than that of the anime.

It's about classical music lovers who pursued music in college and later, in the job field music. The boy protagonist Chiaki knows his goal, becoming a conductor in orchestras while the girl protagonist, Nodame, is quite the opposite :p. She just wants to play the piano for fun despite the fact that Chiaki and the other teachers saw the potential in her. Later, she wants to practice just to be with Chiaki in the orchestra...This is one of the animes that inspired me to continue my piano-playing..

next is Skip beat!, a manga which revolves around a simple Kyouko Megumi who followed her love Sho Fuwa on his dream to be a superstar. After discovering that Sho is unfaithful to her, she moves her way on to showbiz to defeat him and meets Tsuruga Ren along the way.. Basically, it's a love triangle in any angle ;p.. It also has an anime adaptation now, but I'm enjoying the manga more. I just found out a while ago that it's gonna have a Taiwanese drama adaptation entitled Extravagant Challeenge starring Ariel Lin [Kyouko], Jerry Yan[Ren], and [if he accepts, who knows hehe] Joe Cheng[Sho].

then comes Earl and fairy, from light novel to anime =D and, I don't know if it's me, but Edgar really looks like Tamaki from Ouran High School Host Club..! I also like Lydia's features, having green eyes and curly hair altogether. Well, those are some of the animes I kinda liked this time.. =] Hmm, I'm kinda into [the mood] reviewing some of the animes which I do not usually do hehe.

--moving on, New pics and art at my DeviantART ! =D

--yeah, my projs and assignments :p

Algebra problem set.
Calculus research
Comp - Calculator program =,=
Fil - summary of the book and visual aid for our report.
Miniature camping site
first aid or caregiving skit
Reaction about Power Rangers [hehehe]
Aozora Pop Vol. 2 Chap. 6 scanlation edited.
Room 'winter' cleaning.. [partly finished hehe],

--and lastly, Ni Yao De Ai -piano by me ^^ if you remember Meteor Garden, it's their theme song. I know it's kinda late for this, but my classmate Monique loved this and it became to be one of the reasons why she started to love and play the violin. Then she requested this piece to be played.

--Comments are appreciated =D

I've now come to the end of my "year-end entry".. Thank you for reading this. May you have a wonderful evening! ^-^

Farvel, EminA

Something's changed =D

2008-12-16T19:28:00.008+08:00

My last layout was updated since....I can't really remember :p.. But now I finally had time to change it despite the brain-nacking html, css and script codes O.o! But yeah, I'm happy that I finished it, added with inspiration from nanaoo and cloud-room.. It's my first time using my own navi-layout =D ! And I wanna know what you think about it.. ^ ^ comment me on the comments link located after the entry. Thanks.!

Also, the exits section changed due to many bloglinks @_@ I had to put them in alpha order so it'll look more neat. New layout also calls for new layout song: Michi ~ to you all =one of Naruto Shippudden's ED.

I'm also adding a new portfolio section where I can put all my works plus link accounts =D.
Here's another vid. hope you like it..! :D It's "River flows in you" by Yiruma. Requested by my classmates.

'Till next time.. =D

I mean, it's as if it's lagging.. After pressing the restart button a few times, it's on! phew.. BUT.. waaa, after a few minutes of using it, it's lagged again! So I have to restart it.. Then it makes a weird sound [I gotten used to it now.] then everything's up and working again... O.o so weird.. Can you help me with it ? =((hai.. But anyway, I'm still keeping up with everything hehe. Life's hard for a graduating student like me,,.. but I guess, not just me, but everyone is.

Recital

2008-09-30T17:50:00.003+08:00

Hey !

Last Sept. 28, I attended and participated in the Post Centennial Piano Recital in St. Scholastica’s College. We went out early because we also had to take dad to NAIA 3 for his flight to Butuan City. After that, mom and I went to MOA.

We were actually there for lunch, but it took us about half-an-hour roaming around. Mom was looking for Racks restaurant. We didn’t know that the resto was just around the corner, and we kept missing it :)).

Now, that’s one of the reasons why we were late for the recital. The other one was that it was also the day of the bar exams for lawyers in La Salle. Hahas, the exam barristers nationwide caused a lot of traffic. Pianist number 3 was already playing when I came in St. Cecilia’s hall. So I went backstage ‘cause I’m number 12. phew made it on time. Hehes.I'm on program 2, 1.30pm.

I played “Pobreng Alindahaw”.
