my music, my life...


I’ve always been a MUSIC lover. Music has always been a part of my life. I’ve included songs here because I want to share with you guys my favorites. Some of these songs have very special meaning to me, some of them I just enjoy the melody, and some I think just fits the theme of this blog.

I’ve always felt that life would be extremely dull without music. For me, music magnifies emotions. It soothes the soul. It makes the world go round. I know some of you might think I’m a being a bit melodramatic about this, but it’s true. For me, music is capable of complementing my mood or state of mind at one particular moment. And it’s a big help too. So if you’re feeling a bit nostalgic or sad, add some mellow music. If you’re feeling groovy, add some hip-hop or dance music. If you’re feeling a bit adventurous or chaotic, add some rock music. Regardless of what genre or style of music there is, I believe music really makes the world a more fun and interesting place to live. Wouldn’t you agree?

Anyway, enough of my chatter. All I really want to say is, music is my life. And I wanted it to be part of this blog...keep jammin'!

christmas is coming!

Christmas is just around the corner, and everyone is excitedly awaiting the holidays. Christmas is probably my favorite holiday, not just because it’s Christ’s birthday, but because the whole season is so festive and cheerful, not to mention magical. Before, when I was working in the office, (hmmm, I miss paper works!) the whole team is planning for a Christmas party. I do like it when the whole company celebrates with a bang. I’d like to see Christmas decorations, gift giving, corporate holiday cards, Christmas carols… you get the point... Anyway, It’s 2 days away, but I can’t wait for Christmas to come along and here we get to celebrate! Advance Merry Christmas everyone!

losers...weepers

Life can be so unfair sometimes ... or yeah maybe almost all the time. When you try to do the right things...you’ll find out that somebody else took advantage and got ahead of you by doing the opposite. You find yourself thinking a lot of times and wondering why it has to happen to you when you know you’re on the right path doing the right thing. I really hope that what goes around comes around two times harder! Sometimes I honestly get tempted to get even and do something that will make the person realize what they did was wrong...but still ‘karma’ comes to mind. And sometimes it makes me think that if karma is true, then maybe I did something wrong in the past that I deserved the bad things happening to me...or what is it really? I don’t get it. You play the good person, someone else plays bad. You do something bad and you still lose sometimes. We'll, I guess that’s life…so I hope those people that did me wrong are now losers, ‘cause if not I should not feel like one now. Well at least I have my pride in doing the right thing as consolation... :p

10 reasons why i love the winter season

There are many reasons to enjoy the Winter season even if you are not a cold weather person. I have listed a few of the things that I love the most about Winter...

  1. I love a hot steaming bowl of homemade macaroni soup on a bitterly cold Winter evening.
  2. I love watching children playing in the snow and listening to their cheerful laughter.
  3. I love spending Christmas with my friends here, eating a festive meal together and exchanging gifts. It's a time when we can all gather and share precious moments together.
  4. I love drinking a tall glass of delicious ice cold coffee by a warm blazing fire.
  5. I love spending time with my friends inside when it's too cold to be outside, playing a board game, watching a movie or working on just everything together.
  6. I love drinking a large mug of hot chocolate on a cold and snowy Winter night.
  7. I love waking up to a bright sunny Winter morning and seeing ice glistening on the tree branches after an overnight snowfall.
  8. I love the beauty of nature in Winter with its crisp fresh snow, glittering icicles and delicate white snowflakes.
  9. I love the shorter days in Winter and being able to catch up on my sleep. And lastly...
  10. I love playing in the snow, building a snowman, making a snow angel and having a snowball fight...although its really pretty cold outside...grrrrrr!

"weeeepeeee....!"

frens...who are they?

A simple word isn’t it? It’s uttered everyday to almost every person imaginable. Who are your friends? I used to think that friends were the people that you could laugh and talk to.
Now I know that friends aren’t that, they’re the people that touch your heart. You could spend hours with them doing nothing at all and it can be the best time of your life, just because it was with them. They’re the people you can share your secrets with, cry with, laugh with, and just have fun with. They don’t judge you or make you change. They accept you exactly as you are. They look at you and they see a great person, one they love spending time with. You all share something in common and are tied together by memories, tears, laughs and smiles. You’re tied together by love for the other. Friendship is the strangest but sweetest thing in the world. I find my time with my friends, the best times of my life. My friends are my heart, my soul, my fun, my laughter, tears, love and my life.

it's sicks to be sick!

It was Saturday morning that I have felt pain in my throat. I was night shift working before that so I think it's because of the cold weather. I remember walking back to back at midnight from one building to another in our company because of work. Then on Sunday night, I felt fever in the evening. I immediately take one tablet for fever and one capsule of antibiotic. That's what I always take whenever I feel something bad in my health. In the morning, I still manage to go to work but I can't hardly speak and in the afternoon, I decided to join my other big sisters here to go eye shopping. We ate pizza that time and I remember also drinking a really really cold orange juice (I'm quite pasaway,hehe!) and that worsen my condition, I think so! The next morning, Tuesday, I still get to work, but because of what I've done yesterday, you can't hardly understand what I say so I decided to not speak at all. In the afternoon, I really cough a lot...know why because I have to go outside which is cold and then I have to go inside which is hot, so I think it really affects my case. In the end, I have permitted to go home by 5pm to have a check up. I instantly went to the hospital and given some medications, I remember the doctor saying about giving me intravenous medications but I immediately said that I would just prepare to have oral medications. I fear needles OK! And now... I feel I really can't get to work, so I'm just here in my bed all day, resting...
And that's when I remember my mother, I used to be a sick kid when I was child... and that's what I miss of her, taking special care of me...

my stuffed toys... keep me companied!

When we were young, most of us were given stuffed toys. Since then, I started collecting these cute stuffed animals that now almost filled my room bed back home. Some of them were given to me by my relatives and friends, some I've got as a presents and some I bought for myself.
We held those stuffed toys in our arms wherever we went, and we refused to let them go. It almost felt as though that special toys was our protector, defending us from the evils of the world.

tagpi in 'd hauz...!
I still have my stuffed toys from when I was younger. They remind me of all the fond memories I used to have when I was a child. Also, if I'm feeling sad or angry, simply hugging one of my toys relieves me of those emotions.
Stuffed animals can be helpful stress relievers. If you've just had an argument with your partner, or you've run into financial difficulty, you sometimes need that special comforting hug that'll make you feel better. Granted, a simple hug won't make all of your problems go away, but it'll certainly give you the strength and confidence you need to take them on.
You know, it surprises me to see many people classify stuffed animals as "kiddy-toys." Just because you like to give your special stuffed toys a squeeze every once in a while doesn't make you any less of an adult than anyone else. The people who discriminate against others by arguing that "Stuffed animals are childish and adults shouldn't own them" are the same people who resent other types of people due to race, gender or religion.
So if you still have your old stuffed toys, don't throw it away, and definitely don't give it away. And if you don't have stuffed toys, considering buying one. Because whether you need a companion, or just someone to listen to your thoughts, your stuffed animals will be always be there for you.

nostalgic feeling

Just the other day, I was tinkering with my digital camera and browsing through the pictures I’ve taken in the past months. I was stung with nostalgia as I looked at the pictures and relived every moment. I love taking pictures, especially of moments that are worth remembering. Pictures, for me, are timeless representations of the past that can never be rewound. Anyway, I realized I already have a lot of pictures stored in my digicam. I have got to buy a compact flash that has a bigger capacity coz mine is nearly full!

4 years of "intimate" friendship

WOW! Today, it's been officially our 4 years of up and down, twist and turn, on and off, peace and war... err desperate relationship! It's time for celebration but... uhmm, hey! were supposed to be blowing our anniv cake, too bad I'm so far away here hugging falling leaves, falling snowflakes and a very cool winter weather! Obviously, long distance relationship is a matter of faith, loyalty, trust and more trust (did I say trust?) and we've made it (think so, whut d'ya think?). I feel like I wanna listen to Shania Twain's "STILL THE ONE", well the lyrics are just like that!
If I would tell you our story... well, its going to be 4 years of me detailing each day... and this post will run out of characters ...!

my new book

Hey! I've got my "Twilight" book already! Its the book everyone is crazy for! I have just bought it a while ago from Libro shop. My friends and I have just attended a mass and went strolling when I have decided to take a peek there. First, it wasn't in my mind to go there because I don't have a book to hunt for, but since the shop was just nearby the cosmetics shop in which my friend was busy looking for girl something and to make my time running, I decided to have a visit there. Its been a long while since I've been there because we have internet connection in our room. I really don't have an idea what to look for but suddenly I remember my cousin telling me about the Twilight movie. It has been first based in a book so I hurriedly look for it and luckily, I have found it! Did I mention before that I have always wanted to watch that movie but I don't have time?
Now my problem is - what should I do first? Read the book or watch the movie? Somebody help...!

i want...

i am sitting here thinking about life, wondering if i will ever truly get out of life what i want.
i want to travel the world.
i want my parents to be taken care of and never have to worry about bills again.
i want to write a book and have it published. i have my own bucket list just like in the movie (and just like my blog), but i am so afraid that i will never get to have those experiences that i want. i am afraid that i am going to let life pass me by and never just live in the moment.
i want to dance in the rain.
i want to not care what everybody thinks about me.
i want to be fearless, i don't want to worry about every little thing in life.
i want to be free. i don't want to feel chained down.
i want to let the house be messy and not have to worry about it (hehe).
i want to spend the whole day in bed reading and just peeking at our pictures taken here.
i want to miss a day of work and not be sick or too tired to do anything.
i want to see the world and like what i see.
i want the world to see me and like what they see.
i want.....
