Mangaholic

Noon anime ang past time ko. Ngayon Anime Manga.

Enjoy kasi sya basahin esp. yung mga mala romance novels na binabasa ko noon ~_^. Mas enjoy sya basahin kasi may mga pictures (wow! parang bata na nagsisimula pa lang magbasa hahaha )

Seriously, maganda sya basahin kasi di mo lang nafifeel yung emotions ng characters sa story nakikita mo rin (dahil sa illustrations).

Here's some of my best loved mangas:

Absolute Boyfriend (comedy/love story) - Makes me wonder kung meron nga talagang ideal boyfriend dito sa real world hahaha I'm still waiting for the next Live Episodes of Absolute Boyfriend. Sana may magupload na

You're My Girlfriend (comedy/love story)- Finding love unexpectedly / opposites attract

Fruits Basket - (comedy/love story)

Hatsukoi Limited (comedy/love story)

Ai Hime Ai to Himegoto (drama/romance) The best manga romance novel na nabasa ko. Di ko lang masyadong gusto ang illustrations pero yung story hayy talaga naman super kilig . Unforgettable line "Once you choose me..I will never let you go"

Kiss/Hug -(drama/romance) - On going pa ang pag eedit ng chapter 4 scanlations. I can't wait to read it na hehe (certified addict na talaga)

Till next time..

Over you - Chris Daughtry

Now that it's all said and done,
I can't believe you were the one
To build me up and tear me down,
Like an old abandoned house.
What you said when you left
Just left me cold and out of breath.
I fell too far, was in way too deep.
Guess I let you get the best of me.

Well, I never saw it coming.
I should've started running
A long, long time ago.
And I never thought I'd doubt you,
I'm better off without you
More than you, more than you know.
I'm slowly getting closure.
I guess it's really over.
I'm finally getting better.
And now I'm picking up the pieces.
I'm spending all of these years
Putting my heart back together.
'Cause the day I thought I'd never get through,
I got over you.

You took a hammer to these walls,
Dragged the memories down the hall,
Packed your bags and walked away.
There was nothing I could say.
And when you slammed the front door shut,
A lot of others opened up,
So did my eyes so I could see
That you never were the best for me.

Well, I never saw it coming.
I should've started running
A long, long time ago.
And I never thought I'd doubt you,
I'm better off without you
More than you, more than you know.
I'm slowly getting closure.
I guess it's really over.
I'm finally getting better.
And now I'm picking up the pieces.
I'm spending all of these years
Putting my heart back together.
'Cause the day I thought I'd never get through,
I got over you.

Well, I never saw it coming.
I should've started running
A long, long time ago.
And I never thought I'd doubt you,
I'm better off without you
More than you, more than you know.

Well, I never saw it coming.
I should've started running
A long, long time ago.
And I never thought I'd doubt you,
I'm better off without you
More than you, more than you know.
I'm slowly getting closure.
I guess it's really over.
I'm finally getting better.
And now I'm picking up the pieces.
I'm spending all of these years
Putting my heart back together.
Well I'm putting my heart back together,
'Cause I got over you.
Well I got over you.
I got over you.
'Cause the day I thought I'd never get through,
I got over you.

Girls Night Out @ Eastwood

Last Saturday, my sister & I together with my two cousins went to Eastwood, Libis to unwind. We went to "BED ROOM" bar and restaurant to dine and drink. So while waiting for our food and drinks to arrive (Oh well, my sister and my cousin ordered their drinks while me and Rose Anne ate most of the food ^_^. ) , I saw a group of people dancing wildly on the dance floor. Their bust-a-move steps were ok. I just couldn't bear looking at them.

I feel so uncomfortable. I felt like I was too old for that place and felt like I'm having "sort" of culture shock?!

"Grinding" moves was ok but not for me.. I think it was too much for me to bear hahaha (I sound like a conservative old maid huh?!)


So we went upstairs, and saw a "couple" who were also dancing. They were grinding.. And again, I can't even bear looking at them.."The crucify me" (as coined by my sister) moves is a little too much hahaha ^0^. The guy dances continuously with the "crucify me" moves.

So off we went to Dencios to drink again. This time we ordered for a pitcher of Blue Margarita.

While drinking, we made fun of the couple doing the crucify moves hehehe.


It was so funny.. My sister would "re-enact" the same moves hahaha ^0^










Right after consuming our Blue Margarita, we went to Starbucks to drink some coffee.

How to handle Romantic Rejection

I got this email from a very friend and I would like to share this with you...

How to Handle Romantic Rejection

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately challenging

Step1

Yeah, it hurts to hear it. The truth is, you'll get over it.

Step2

Realize that this person, no matter how much you like him or her, is not going to reciprocate. You can't make a person love you. And you can drive yourself crazy trying.

Step3

You deserve a partner who respects you and cares about you. You want to feel secure and valuable, right? Remember this.

Step4

At first, you'll experience denial. "It's not really over," you tell yourself. Now tell yourself that it's not your fault. You could have been this or that - but you weren't. Don't dwell on your imagined shortcomings.

Step5

Don't try to get him or her back by making drastic improvements. It won't work. It's too late for that. If you do anything, do it for yourself. Now is the time to be selfish.

Step6

Go to your friends or family - those who accept you and will understand your hurt.

Step7

Take up a hobby or sport. Get your mind off your breakup. Stay busy - this is key.

Step8

You will get depressed. It's normal. You will get angry; this is normal too.

Step9

Decide that you wanted it to be over. Convince yourself of this.

Step10

You might try finding someone else - and some people will suggest this - but it's not very healthy and won't really be fair to the new person. Give yourself time to pull yourself together.

Step11

Don't get obsessive. If you feel that you can't get over it by yourself, get professional help. You don't want to turn into a stalker.

For the one who got away.. this is for you...

Pasubali - Sponge Cola

Kung pwede lang
Wag mo na 'tong iwasan
At 'wag mo ring
Ituring na biro
Marahil 'to'y 'di mo inaasahan
Pero sana'y
'Wag ipinid ang pinto

Itikom ang bibig
Mata'y ibaling sa'kin
Pakinggan mo ang sasabihin ko

[Chorus]
Kailan mo ba matutunan?
Kailan mo ba 'pagsisigawang
'Di mo na 'pagkakailang tayo?
Kay rami nang pinagdaanan
Ano pa ba ang 'yong kailangan?
Nagsusumamo na sabihin mo

Ang diwa ko'y
Tigib sa kaiisip
Sa sarili'y laging
May kinikimkim
Patuloy lamang bang mananaginip?
At mananatili lang na nakapikit?

Ako'y mayro'ng batid
Ito'y iyong pag-amin
Hindi na natin maiiwasan 'to

Kailan mo ba matututtunan
Kailan mo ba pagsisigawan
Di mo na pagkakailang tayo
Kay rami ng pinagdaanan
Ano pa bang iyong kailangan
Nagsusumamo na sabihin mo...

Itikom ang bibig
Mata'y ibaling sa'kin
Pakinggan mo ang sasabihin ko

Naiiintindihan mo ba??

Kailan mo ba matututunan?
Kailan mo ba pagsisigawan?
Di mo na pagkakailang TAYO?
Kay rami ng pinagdaanan
Ano pa bang iyong kailangan
Nagsusumamo na sabihin mo

Nagsusumamo na sabihin mo
Hoh hooh...

I Don't Want You to Go - Kyla

Here I am
Alone and I don't understand
Exactly how it all began
The dream just walked away
I'm holding on
When all but the passion's gone

And from the start
Maybe I was tryin' too hard
It's crazy 'cause it's breakin' my heart
Things can fall apart but I know
That I don't want you to go

And heroes die
When they ignore the cause inside
But they learned from what's left behind
And fight for something else
And so it goes
That we have both learned how to grow

And from the start
Maybe we were tryin' too hard
It's crazy 'cause it's breakin' our hearts
Things can fall apart, but I know
That I don't want you to go

(Oh) it's just too much
Takin' on the whole world all by myself
There's not enough
Unless I start trustin' somebody else
Somebody else and love again

And from the start
Maybe we were tryin' too hard
It's crazy 'cause it's breakin' our hearts
Things can fall apart, but I know
That I don't want you to go, no

Maybe we were tryin' too hard
It's crazy 'cause it's breakin' our hearts
Things can fall apart, but I know
That I don't want you to go

Oooh no, I don't want you to go
Say that you won't go

Cars I would love to see myself driving..someday

Mazda 6

Honda CR-V

Toyota RAV - 4

My Big Love

Last week, my officemates and I watched My Big Love at the Podium (First showing day!).

Unforgettable lines in the movie:

Follow the 5 key steps..

>Set your goal

>Start today

>There are no short cuts

>Motivate yourself

>Be Happy

During the premiere night at SM Megamall Bldg A. we were able to see Sam Milby, Toni Gonzaga and Kristine Hermosa. We were dining at Kenny's that time when we saw a group of people assembled in front of the entrance door all waiting for the main event!

We waited for them to arrive too. Mary Joan and I waved at Sam when he glanced and waved at us. It felt like ... " Oh my gosh, Sam actually waved at us can You believe it?"

That's one experience I will never forget... ~_^

When I'm down I like listening to this song

This is My Now - Jordin Sparks (Winning song for the 2007 American Idol)

There was a time I packed my dreams away.
Living in a shell, hiding from myself.
There was a time when I was so afraid.
I thought I'd reached the end,

But baby that was thenI am made of more than my yesterdays.
This is my now, and I am breathing in the moment.
Because I look aroundI can't believe the love I see.
My fears behind me, gone are the shadows and doubts
That was then, this is my now.

And I have the courage like never before, yeah.
I've settled for less now I'm ready for more,Ready for more.
This is my now, and I am breathing in the moment.
As I look around I can't believe the love I see.

My fears behind me, gone are the shadows and doubts.
That was then, this is my now.
I'm living in the momentI look around I can't believe the love I see.
My fears behind me, gone are the shadows and doubts.
That was then, this is my now.This is my now.

My Dream Phone

Sony Ericsson has come up with another innovation the Sony Ericsson X1 also known as the Sony Ericsson Xperia.

SE X1 is so much better looking than SE P1. I like the interface and the design. For me it looks like the iPhone except for the features and the OS used by the phone :)

Spring Waltz

As I was browsing Youtube, I came across this video inspired by the 4th and last Endless Love series - Spring Waltz. You can find the video here. High five for the author of this video. ^_^

"If you love and miss that person

Then love can come again when you meet again.

Just playing hide and seek

No matter where you hide or even if you can't see it.

It must be waiting at some place for me

Amid the countless chaos

Just like the sincere prayers of love

The people in love will surely

...meet again"

One Love Lyrics

Higher than the sky above you

Clearer than blue

Brighter than the rays of sunshine

Warmer than what you feel

More than all the wonders you see

It's the most wonderful thing

Brighter than the living colors of flowers you see

Sweeter than the touch of water

Flowing from the mountain spring

More than all the wonders you see

It's the most wonderful thing

One love...

I love you so

Love is the beautiful one

I love you so

Love is the beautiful one

All we need is love

Real love

Marvel at the sight of greenfields

Amazingly seenWatch the colors of the rainbow

It's a miracle you see

More than all the wonders can be

But there's more than that

One Love...

I love you so

Love is the beautiful one

Greater than what you can feel

More than what you ever dreamed

This is better than your everything

One love...

I love you so

Love is the beautiful one

All we need is love

One love

Things to do

4 days to go and it will be 2008. A new year... a new beginning...

Here's my top 10 to do list for 2008

10. Get a hobby - I already have a hobby I just have to do it again. It relieves stress I got from work. My hobby - taking care of my plants.

9. Learn to cook - My knowledge in cooking is very limited..hopefully I can get cooking lessons next year.

8. Time Management - I want to enjoy work and enjoy my leisure time at the same time.

7. Save for the future. - I've got no one else to depend on but myself. I have to prepare everything before I reach the dreaded old age. I really wish I could have my own house by then. My own car... my own business...

6. Strive for self improvement

5. Enjoy life as it is - I've been through a roller coaster ride these past few years. Cried. Laugh. Got my heart broken countless times. But in the end life goes on and will continue to go on... I will live my life like I've never done before so that in the end there will be no regrets...

4. Love myself more..after all I owe it to myself...

3. Hang out with friends. - I miss hanging out with my friends. Maybe in 2008 I could spend more time with them to catch up on the daily buzz of our lives.

2. Travel

1. Go to church every Sunday.. - I always miss church... I hope this coming year I would be able to do it every Sunday not just every Sunday even Wednesdays and Fridays.

My 2007 Christmas Wish list

If I have all the money I can spend this Christmas I'll spend it all..Yes all! to buy all of these great stuff :)

I've always wanted to have my own digital camera. As soon as I have paid all my debts I'll save up for this baby :)

I love music. Keeps me alert and AWAKE ^_^. I wonder how much this I touch costs...

I've always wanted to have a slim phone...

Slim and stylish

Battle of the Planners

I just started collecting stickers for the 2008 Starbucks planner. I need to collect a total of 24 stickers to avail this limited edition planner.

Luckily its their 10th year anniversary so they have this double your sticker promo from 12:30pm to 2pm and 8pm to 9:30pm.

I just got my 8th sticker today at Starbucks SM Megamall Branch.

My current fave for the christmas blends is Praline Mocha. I like the strong taste of coffee mix with chocolate.

After having lunch, my friend and I went to Starbucks Emerald to avail the double sticker promo. ^_^

If we keep on doing this everyday until December 25, I'm pretty sure we'll get the planner right on schedule.

Seattle's Best also released their planner this year so is Jollibee :)

I already gave my first Jollibee planner as a Christmas gift :)

My first planner was a gift from my sister last year its a Michelle Simone Planner..pink cover with heart shaped pendant :)

Re-Shaping my future...

Lately I've been doing some "reality check tests" on myself. I realized that I still need to work on reshaping my future.

I know I'm not getting any younger, therefore I need to make some adjustments on my lifestyle, habits and attitude towards funding for my future.

I listed down my goals in life and opposite my list are the action/s taken to the achieve the goal.

And guess what, I hardly taken any action to achieve it.

I dreamed of owning my own house whether its a condo (in Ortigas, like East of Galleria and Grand Emerald), a townhouse or a house and lot (in South Forbes or in Amanzaya). But I don't have the means to buy it...for now..

As part of my strategy in being able to have the means to buy it... I need to save.. Yes..save a lot of money.

If I could cut down my credit card expenses, I know this would be a great help in achieving my goals ^_^

As a start, I don't bring my credit cards anymore and I try to keep track with my daily expenses. I noticed, I spend a lot of money on food yes food..

Oh well, it's not yet too late to start over again ~_^

Friends with Benefits

We've seen it on TV, heard it on the radio or even talked about it with our friends. But what is friends with benefits?

Friends with benefits is like having a so called bf/gf. You go out on dates without the commitment. A guilt free flirtatious relationship. Sometimes it involves sex. (see http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AsPSy1xZuS4Ta5zqpc2kMakjzKIX;_ylv=3?qid=20070627111753AAI05bC).

For others, this is a great idea if you're not yet sure if you want a steady relationship with commitment.

A single person usually gets involve in this type of relationship. But does it work out? Like leading to a more serious relationship. The answer is NO.

Often times, one of them gets emotionally attach to the other person and end up getting hurt.

If you're looking for a commitment, this is not the relationship for you.

You deserve to be in the arms of someone who would treasure and love you.

You deserve to be happy... don't settle for a make believe love/relationship. If he truly loves you he would have made the first move to make your relationship official.

Let go and move on. Its not easy but its for the best...

Undying Fascination on Classic Filipino Movies

I miss blogging...

I really do...Glad I've got the time now for me add up a new entry.

I've got the time just because I'm sick and confined in bed... resting...

Back to my topic, my interest in classic Filipino movies started when I was in elementary. I was sick then confined in bed just like today. I got bored over watching cartoons and noon time shows.

I tuned in to channel 9 that was around 1:00pm. Classic movies of 1950's to 1960's were shown. I was able to watch Gloria Romero's classic film Honey-Haneymunan (I'm not sure of the title). She co starred with her real life husband Juancho Gutierrez.

It's a story about a newly wed couple. Who were just starting out to raise a family. It's a comedy film. The comedic (if there's such a word) tandem of Dolphy and Panchito added a light touch of comedy in the story.

Juancho Gutierrez and Ric Rodrigo were my favorite classic filipino actors. I like their soulful eyes...and their deep romantic voice.

You can feel the emotions of each line in the movie. It sounds so romantic.

Sometimes I wish I could go back in time. I wanted to experience how it is to live in the 1940s, 1950s and 1960s

Life then seems so simple..less complicated...and not fast paced like today.

It seems so relaxing...

Fast forward to the 1980's...

My favorite actors at that time were Albert Anido - I love his chinky eyes and moreno looks ^_^, Albert Martinez - I love his sweet - seductive smile, Benedict Aquino - love the boy next door looks, Aga Muchlach and Rowell Santiago.

The Agony of losing those extra pounds

I've been trying to lose those extra pounds I gained over the past 2 years but with no luck. I've tried going to the gym and controlling my food intake. It worked for awhile. But after I've become so busy with my work schedule, I stopped gong to the gym.

Funny though I've been collecting tips on how to lose weight and trim down my body and yet I didn't use any of these..well maybe I tried using some of the tips but I always end up in square one.

I start with the routine then I stop when I felt it wasn't working anymore.

I remember when I was younger..a lot younger..

Losing weight is very easy. I just exercise and control my food intake and voila I losed 10 pounds in a span of 2 months.

Oh how I wish I could still do that despite my busy schedule...

My parents already advised me to lose the extra pounds...

I decided its time to lose it...for good..

I just hope I could stick to my plan... I can see it now.. I can finally wear all those sexy outfits I've seen at the mall..(",)

But more importantly I could finally feel "healthy" again..

Wish me luck ~_^

If only I could find a weight loss program that best suit my lifestyle.. going to the gym and trying out the south beach diet is very costly...

I wish I could find a program that would definitely keep off the unwanted pounds and stick with it..without spending ~_^

Only reminds me of you

Time flies so fast.

Summer just ended and here comes spring. Summer was great. I got to meet a lot of new faces and made new friends.

All this time I've been trying to hold my barrier. Trying to avoid any "romantic connections" ... to avoid getting hurt in the process..

And here comes this cute guy.. who befriended me..

I never thought that he would eventually be a special part of my life.

I tried to avoid his gaze and his warm smile everytime we meet.

I kept telling myself to stop looking at him in a different way.

"Behave." I told myself.

"What ever it is you're starting to feel for him stop it before it gets worse."

I succeeded in the first few weeks.

But I let my guard down when I saw him again smiling at me.

And for the first time, I realized that he's really cute.

I like the way his eyes sparkle when he smiles.

Too bad I won't be seeing him anymore.

And if ever our paths will cross again...well.. that's another story (",)

Ang hirap pala...

I was watching How to keep my Love over at Cinema 1. A korean film. Ang hirap pala yung pinipigil mong wag magselos at ipakita na di ka nasasaktan.

Ouch medyo nakakarelate ako. Yun tipong nakangiti ka kahit ngiting aso lang para lang mapagtakpan na nasasaktan ka.

Ang lungkot...ng movie...

Habang nanonood ako madaming memories na nagflash sa mind ko.

Ang hirap pala magpretend na matapang ka kahit na deep inside nasasaktan ka na.

Nakakaiyak yung movie...kakainis naiiyak ako...

hayy...

At sa bandang huli hayy sila pa rin ang nagkatuluyan kahit na may naging babae pa sa pagitan nila..

I love happy endings... pero naiyak ako nun ha... T_T

Dreaming of my Secret Garden

I'm dreaming of having my very own "Secret Garden" someday.

A place for retreat and relaxation.

I imagine by garden filled with flowers. Lots of flowers...

And in the middle of the garden, there's a small fountain.

I can see it now...

I see myself sitting on a bench while my eyes gaze around the garden...

I can hear the birds chirping... The relaxing sound of water flowing through the fountain...
