they've got...package!

After finally sorting and organizing all my stuff and things here inside a big jumbo box for 1 week... soon its going to arrive in the Philippines. First, its really hard fixing up all of my belongings since I've been abroad for almost 2 years and a half now!
I've already sent 1 jumbo box before my vacation got approved in February, but still I have plenty of err...scrap left here! To name, I still have here some of my old clothes I didn't wear anymore, thick and thin jacket (for fall, winter and spring seasons), bags and accessories, shoes, my half body size Duzing, (my teddy Bear's name which I got from here who's still not washed that's why I called him that way) and Oh... I'm planning to take home also one my small cabinet here because I like its color, old green (which matches the color paint of my room and looks good inside though!).
Anyway, my housemate here helped me packed it up because its really huge for me to tape it all by myself. But in the end, it was a success (wheew!)

into reality

And speaking of reality! I am lately been addicted into watching reality TV shows...basically because its the real thing and the real drama is there! Although some parts are scripted, still you can see their behavior and attitude on every situation. Here are my list of some of my favorite reality series that I have watched and being watched as of this present time:

1. The Amazing Race Asia Season 2 - Well, this was last years edition wherein the Philippine team compose of Marc Nelson and Rovilson Fernadez got the 3rd place (sad to say), but it was fun watching them racing like there were never had a dull moments with them! I'm laughing all by myself like I was crazy because these two people really have humors!
2. The Amazing Race Asia Season 3 - And now, this is this years season of this really amazing race. Tisha Silang and Geoff Rodriguez would be the competing dating couple from the Philippines. Looks likes the race is much tougher this time...hope they bag home the title. But for me, travelling from one country to another is the price itself, yeah baby!
3. Pinoy Dream Academy Season 2 - This is the latest hit reality show for those who were aspiring to be a singing star. It just ended almost a week ago but it was worth the waiting for whomever who's gonna win...added the fact that Bugoy, one of the scholars is really a comedian...but when he sing, you can tell and feel that he is really an artist.
4. Survivor Philippines - This is the local version of the famous Survivor from the US and it is now in the Philippines. I thought at first that celebrities would participate in this show but when I watched it, they include only ordinary people with different aspects in life. Like for example there was a yaya (nanny), company driver, waiter, mechanic and etc. But in the end, I think this will appeal to all people because all these individuals were really unique in their own way.
5. And so on (more to come)...haha!
   

another long vacation

" the world at the tip of my finger...harharhar!!! "

My 3 days vacation has ended (choosok holiday*)... the 1st day, I spend gallivanting at Lotte World... its a theme park. I remember, I ride only 3-4 rides because I'm kind'a afraid of heights and those tumbling and hanging thing (duhh)! I swear, I feel like I can't breath (ughh)! Anyway, I just enjoy exploring the park plus there was a live stage show there and you know what, there was a Filipino band performer that time. Korean people were amazed by their performance same thing that I also enjoyed it a lot! They sang some two English songs and the rest are Korean hits song! Man, they rock and their good in Korean Language. The next day, I stay inside the house and the first thing I did... sleep, sleep, and sleep because yesterday was really tiring, imagine that I came working from night shift and I go straight ahead to Lotte World! What was that! I've never done that while in the Philippines...but in the afternoon I went outside to unwind and find myself something to eat since I crave for pizza that time (yummy). And now on the 3rd day, again just inside the house... in front of my laptop, looking at our pictures at Lotte World and I busied the rest of the day fixing my Friendster picture uploading and organizing (partially still not fixed) and then after I got bored, I just watched reality series which are quite exciting for me!

*choosok holiday- a Korean special holiday which is celebrated every September 13-15 of this month. Korean people visits their ancestors along with their family to pay tribute to their loved ones. It is also the same as a reunion for them since they gather together and offer wine, fruits and delicacies as a ritual.

on the side of me

Corrine May! Who? Haven't heard her name before... but as I was accidentally browsing music from my resources, (imeem) I'm curious "hmm...what kind of music does she sings?" Then I immediately play one of her songs and there I found out. Her voice was like an angel, and the melody was soothing! I hurried down to find her biography and found out that she's from Singapore and had pursued to study music in the US. What I like most in her album "Beautiful Seed" is the song ON THE SIDE OF ME... It is about a person, despite the imperfections of another person, still choose to love him and stay with him. On the side of me is a song of friendship. A friend who will not leave his friend in times of trouble and misery. A friend who is always with him despite the odds. Who is this friend? He is the one up there. Whatever we do wrong, He will never ever leave and will always forgive us. My blog and I would be living in His purpose. So I even put the lyrics here for me to sing along with...Great!

Album Title: Beautiful Seed

On the Side of Me
Corrine May

I’m not the easiest person to love

I’m often the one who lets things go unresolved

Yet you choose to be

On the side of me On the side of me

Yet you choose to be on the side of me

On the side of me

I’m not too proud of some things

I’ve done in my life

The skeletons in my closet

Are too big for me to hide

Yet you choose to be

On the side of me

On the side of me

Blessed Charity You’re on the side of me

On the side of me

(Cause) Everyone needs a friend to hold

When it’s cold outside

And there’s no place to go

Everyone needs a friend to hold

All alone I cried There was no place to go

I remember when nobody cared

But you

I’m not the easiest person to love

But you, you’ve opened your heart to show me what I’m worth

‘Cause you choose to be On the side of me

On the side of me

What a mystery You’re on the side of me

On the side of me

(Cause) Everyone needs a friend to hold

When it’s cold outside

And there’s no place to go

Everyone needs a friend to hold

All alone I cried

There was no place to go

I remember when nobody cared

Nobody cared

But you…

Yeah you choose to be

On the side of me

On the side of me

This is my RSS (Repeat Song Syndrome) this month in my mp3. I even post it in friendster account as my background music. I just simply love the words and the melody. Try listening to it. Enjoy!

birthday treat

Its luvs' birthday today... so I have decided to prepare a quite special "crema de fruta" treat for him. I have called him earlier about this plan and was so thankful to hear that.

I kind'a quickly prepare this dessert. Hope we're eating this one... together!

How I wish I'm back home for us to celebrate... a nice outing is what I think of like... swimming, (Yipee!) coz I haven't got time to enjoy my 16 days vacation back in the Philippines... (it was a quick one). Anyway, even though were far away from each other, we still tried our best to celebrate simple and special occassions like this through chatting in the net or through phonecalls.
