Declared for something Good and Hearty

Work has slowly paced down on me for the last 3 weeks and I'm urging to do more work at the moment. I owe too many people here in blogging blogs and pictures of my interests. But not to worry now, I have placed my hands, my mind and my heart here infront of the computer. So that only means one thing, I'm stuck in Facebook (Laughs sarcastically). Ofcourse, I'm back to writing now.

There are a few things I want to talk about. I wanna tell you all that my Billboard downtown already expired. Yeah, I know, seeing it gone makes me feel sad and it sucks. But I have accepted it already because I know there will be things bigger coming along my way. I just have to focus and work on my goals.

To anyone who hasn't seen my billboard, go to this link website Life's Pamphlet Snaps :)

I'm going to Beijing!! Why? 00:00hours of June 8, 2011, I checked on Cebu Pacific's website, one of Philippine's Low Budget Airline, thinking that there maybe promo fares of any kind. There I go and found out their seat sale of PHP0.00 fare was up on June 8, 2011 and lucky of me to visit in the right moment at the right time. I tried my card if it would push through but before that I typed in the details of mine and my two other friends who were there on that night and typed in the right number of days and flights. Unfortunately, my card didn't push through because I forgot one of my security code or something. Then my friend offered me his card and told me to try it. He hoped it wouldn't push through and I thought otherwise because I was the only one excited for the three of us. And there I go, typing everything again from the start and finally placed in the card details and after continuing, website prompted our confirmation number and we were all booked in. There we were looking at the monitor laughing but after a few seconds, our laughs disappeared. Imagine this :)) that shifted to this :| ....

I mentioned in one of my older posts that I wanted to visit a few countries namely Malaysia, Singapore, Hongkong etc. That includes Beijing. And now, I'm booked to Beijing! WoW!  Next on my list are Europe and the rest of USA I think. and apparently, I am currently applying for a photographer position in one of Europe's cruise line. Geee. I should probably add more countries in my list. EL OH EL :))

I declared that 2011 would be a good year for me and it would change me. But not everything has come good like knowing and seeing my Grandfather have his Heart bypass surgery or seeing someone you just met dealing with the loss of his love one. It hurts and its sad to know these things. A lot of these didn't made sense, but someone taught me that when He doesn't make sense, you just have to believe in Him and pray to Him. Now, my life has been shook and awakened and turned around 360degrees.

In everything I do now, I do it with Him and with Love <3

Watcha Say

I reckon 2011 is a very pretty good year for me... I hope! 


Time flies by so fast. I started this year with a bang, and now I'm riding the cool cool winds. I feel bad about whats happening in the world these days. Quakes here, floods, global warming... I just hope my love ones are safe from the natural disasters that are occurring and I pray that the world learned a lesson with the things happening. 


I'm currently working on a big big photo project but I can't discuss the details of this project yet. The only thing I can share with you gals and guys reading out there is that with this project, I feel so so good about it and I am not wasting my opportunities. There's so much to learn yet I feel so well taught by my photo mentors. 


I do have magazine assignments that I have just been accepted to. I have to sort that out because I haven't even started any of my assignments. Goodluck on me with that LOL.

A song that will Stay with you

Title: To Stay With You

Music and Lyrics: Niko Bulaun
Original Composition




Stand Still
We'll take this ride together
Hold my hand and never let it go

Ill take you places
You've never been in before
I wanna walk with you
Until the night ends

Coz don't worry
I'll be here
To take all those tears Away

Your eyes
Are like stars in the night
I wanna fall in love
Over and over again... With you

Coz don't worry

I'll be here

To take all those tears Away

(Repeat)

I will never

Leave you alone

And I will promise

To stay With you

Home and Away

When the sun is up and the cool breeze whistling down on your face, it would most probably be a good day to take a breather and drive up to the mountains. A couple of weeks ago, my closest friends and I drove up to the cold mountains around the outskirts of the city where our buddy's rest house lay. The one and a half hour drive to the mountain did not feel like it was a long drive because when you have friends that mock around and make fun of all the weird unusual things you pass by during the trip, they tend to make the long hour drive a hell of a laugh trip. 

When we thought that everything would work out alright as planned, the unexpected happened. The car that I was riding broke down and lost its acceleration as we were starting to drive up the mountain. We really did not know what caused the damage but our theories have concluded that we might have been jinxed by our girl buddy - she's being a paranoid since the time we took off and she was actually riding in the car where we were all comfortably seating at. I still love her though she's actually like that (laughs). Fortunately, our buddy's mom drove by coincidence and switched cars with her - she is so sweet and apparently she owns the car we were using as well. Even though we went through all of that trouble, we were still in smiling faces, calm and happy - I really don't know what our paranoid-ish friend felt all through that trouble (evil laugh).

Basically, this breather can be be but to simpler words that can actually describe the whole trip. A Buffet. For snacks, we got bags and bags of Lays, buns, bread chocolates, assorted chips, name it! 

Dinner: 

Crabs

grilled tuna belly and squid

chicken soup

Whole medium sized roast pig

Pork on tofu

Breakfast:

Scrambled Eggs

Tocino

Sausage

Corned Beef

LEFT OVERS

Lunch:

Crabs

Grilled Shrimps

Sautéed Roast Pig

Grilled Marinated Boneless Milf Fish

Adobo - Filipino Dish

Its like a the whole restaurant's menu. Don't even get me started with the desserts.

There are really cool sights and places near the rest house around the mountains. Like this piece of "Art" created by Davao's most famous artist... Kublai. 

There's this one rest house where in you can actually pay to take a dip in their swimming pool which unfortunately was recently drained when we went in. Whoever the owner of that house is surely a fan of spongebob's.

And lastly, as the afternoon was slowly setting down, we cooled off by drinking freshly made strawberry shakes at "Nowhere Diner and Cafe". I literally don't know where the place was located over in the mountains, so I guess I can say that Diner can nowhere to be found. Actually, their shakes were really good and has fresh strawberries mixed up together for a very economic price. This "Nowhere Diner" has a cowboy theme and that is why all the boys had their cowboy hats on and I was their damsel in distress, as seen in the picture below.

It was really a weekend getaway to remember. Away from all the harmful smogs and busyness of the city, it sure was a fattening yet unforgettable time with friends.

We had a smooth ride all the way back home and didn't had any bumps along the road. We counted a total of more than 15 horses back and forth and majority of them were female horses. Just a random thought. 

This poor buddy of ours must be sleep deprived. I wonder why.

Stay Focused and Don't Look Back

"You make me feel like I'm living a teenage dream" - Katy Perry

It has been awhile since I posted a new blog. Right now, I just want to write all the things that I can conclude for the week's rollercoaster.

I cannot elaborate the point that I am not a profound writer. Although, I found out recently, through my blogs, that I am a writer. I don't know if I can safely say that I am part of a blogging community here in town, but I recently joined a group of bloggers so I still don't know if I can state the confirmation of my affiliation. I find it socially productive to be invited in a unique profound community. When they ask me what kind of blog do I have, I said, "I really don't know... it's a mix of lifestyle and personal interest... maybe it's fashion...". In my mind, it was kind of embarrassing to say the things that I wasn't really sure of.

I really don't know if I'm starting to build my career or not, but I got invited to write for a magazine which I took it without having to really think about it. I guess, I would consider that an opportunity worth accepting abruptly.

The tides have turned and brought me to a safer shore. In other words, I found myself riding through a train of opportunities.

And this week,  we finished the second concept shoot about fashion on a clothing line. I will post it soon for all you girls out there reading my blog. 


For now, I wanna share you a picture from one the photoshoot that we had.

You know, I find this picture quite interesting. The reflector and I are quite similar. We are both round. We shine light and reflect it to people. We try to illuminate the person we are fond of. We are artificially capable of helping out on a set. The reflector is elegant and formal looking... so am I. There are no words to describe us both, except round. And That is the reflector and me.

I am almost done with my writing requirements for the newspaper, and ready to show what I've got.

So far, we are working on a little project of our own. Details are still kept confidential as of the moment. Once we are done, in about 1month's time, then we will showcase it to the world.

I leave you with my quote.

"Write with your heart and show the world how you Love" - Me

Love and Gratitude

For all of you girls out there, I just want to say that I am in love with you!

I just want to thank you for the bottom of my heart through my own rendition of my friend's composition.

I hope you like it.
