LISTEN TO YOUR HEART



and Roxette keeps on singing: LISTEN TO YOUR HEART...

"tawag ako uli sa valentine's day ha." "ok". and he did call. my first valentine date happened over the phone on the year 2005. we were still not a thing but he surely painted a smile on my face that day.

it's the day before valentine's day again. and i'm still not happy. yes i'm not. i'm ok with the usual no flowers, no chocolates, no dates on valentine's day but definitely not with the no talk. 12 days of silence is killing me big time. it is such a torture. it's like a nightmare haunting me again. dreamcatcher please come to the rescue. you are definitely the only thing i want on valentine's day, mister. i miss u. oh yes, i miss u. wake me up tomorrow please. i just wanna smile again. only you can do that.

papa on cam


after more than a year, i finally saw papa on cam.
thank you skype!







Friday, February 4, 2011

hello papa!

nothing beats a good cam-to-cam conversation with papa. happy that my good old folks has finally binded with technology. armed with no knowledge whatsoever on how to use a simple computer, they slowly studied how to be onliners. yahoo messenger was even out of the context. no idea on how to download, no idea on how to log in so they settled for a much easier recourse --- facebook. yes they are both facebookers on their 50s.

i got a little surprise today. i'm off from work and was planning to go to the hospital for a checkup. but papa said he finally got skype! (kudos to mark for helping papa.) woot woot! they're finally skypers! yahooo! so i ditched off my checkup and stayed home. no regrets. i got to see my papa on cam after 15 long months, it's just damn priceless! i'm glad he gained a little weight compared to the photos they had months ago.. plus i got to see their place. it was indeed small. i was laughing while papa was telling me about how they got all the things they have on that apartment. but i felt sad when i saw the couch they sleep in. yes they officially don't have a bed. they had to get rid of it coz if they don't they'll be homeless in five days. that's a crap! "leche ning mga kutinga ni!" i said to myself. hope they can get a better bed soon. gosh! when papa told me a brand new bed costs more or less $1000, i almost fainted! that's too much man! but they're planning to get an air bed instead, it's much cheaper. hope they'll get to sleep comfortably soon.

i hope to see mama on our next skype session. she's still at work so i haven't seen her earlier. i'm also planning to get my ass over my granny's place on sunday to paint smiles on their faces. i'm sure seeing everybody here in the Philippines with make them feel at home again. missin' them so much. talk to you later mama and papa!

Thank you SKYPE! mwah!

P.S. i was about to take a souvenir picture but i was a bit late cos papa already clicked end call button. lol (gipatulog sa nako kay magwork pa xa night shift)

KUNG HEI FAT CHOI 2011


What the year of the Rabbit holds for you lovelife and fortune...

i'm not chinese but since i'm alone and i wanted to try something new, i followed some feng shui tips which i read online. i don't normally do it but nevertheless, i decided to give it a try this time.

On Feb. 2, fill you dining table with fruits, particularly pineapple, pomelo, orange, apple, banana, grape and dragon fruit, to attract money, harmony and prosperity. At least 5 kinds of these fruits should be placed on a basket on the table. Five means harvest and luck in Chinese.

Don't forget to put two pieces of ang pao on the table so you could have better luck in the ear of the Metal Rabbit. ang pao. check.


pineapple.check.
pomelo.check.
banana.check.
apple.check
orange.check.

"Then you have to go to the mall and buy a new underwear and a new pair of slippers. Then you take a bath to remove all the bad luck of 2010."" Even if you are lucky in 2010 you still need to do it for the Year of the Rabbit.".

UNLUCKY COLOR: pure black or pure white.


so this is my chinese new year outfit and my new red undies.lol

they said new slippers ayt? so new pink slippers for me.

DOGS are the most compatible zodiac sign of the Year of the Rabbit. Many opportunities are open for them or partnership with others. Lovers will have harmonious and affectionate love affairs. Keep away from temptation.

Sleep with your money - spread those bills all over your bed so you will have even more money this year.

she's right! feels like Demi Moore in Indecent Proposal. lol

Place coins on the floor from the door all the way to the table... Fill up your wallet with money.

you can just imagine my floor with all these goldies...
and my wallet filled with basically small but new bills...hahahaha

and to top it all, i had my jumbo instant pancit canton in my red and black bowl and my chopsticks.. sooooo CHINESEy!!! lol



KUNG HEI FAT CHOI everyone!

feng shui is feng shui.. but it's still God's year.. it's just fun to do some new stuffs sometimes.. if things are bound to happen then they will happen in God's perfect timing!

COME LORD JESUS, COME INTO MY LIFE.
BLESS ME. HELP ME. HEAL ME.

    BATANES BLOGGER TOUR FOR DEN


    South East Asian Airlines (SEAIR) is now holding a contest for Bloggers in which they will be choosing seven lucky bloggers to join a bloggers’ tour of Batanes from January 28 to 30, 2011. Winners will get a round-trip tickets from Manila to Basco andaccommodation in Basco. Batanes experiences 4 seasons and has its winter from December to February, with temperature down to as cool as 7 degrees Celcius.
    FACEBOOK: SEAIR Fan Page




    Alrighty! Perfect timing! Time to return a favor to my dear old friend Den. I can still remember how she accompanied me to wherever our feet took us when i had my emo moments on my break-up last November. She took some days off her work just to spend time with her then heartbroken friend from Davao. She made me stay in her humble rented room which she shared with her roomie. Though it was not my first time in Cebu, she still toured me around and accompanied me to Dumaguete for an overnight stay. A stress-free week away from home spent with a true friend is really relieving. And now that she's going through the same sentiments that i had, ranting over a 4-year old failed relationship, i want to accompany her to somewhere far and different. The landscapes, beaches and the weather of BATANES would be perfect. Aint it good to get this trip for free from SEAIR? That would absolutely be PERFECT!


    I want to see that smile in your face again Te Den. I will try not to give you any of my personal advices cos i don't have the right to. I think once you see a brokenhearted woman, you only see ONE brokenhearted woman. Different things happen to different people. Things may have worked for me but they may not work for you. 50-50 chance. But here's one thing i can promise, i will be here to listen and stay with you as long as you need me. It's not the people around you who will decide on the things you should do and should not do but your own self. Keep praying. Keep doing what makes you happy and try not to force anything. If it hurts then it hurts. The hell with the criticisms you might get for crying over spilled milk. Love hurts nga dba? Emo kung emo! LOL. I really don't know when this struggle will be over, but i'm 101% this will end. God will lead you to the right path at the right time te. Love yah DANIEL! mwahugs!

    7-Day Diet




    General Motors Diet Program

    (thanks ate via for posting this)


    This program is designed for a target weight loss of 10-17 lbs per week. It will also improve your attitudes and emotions because of its cleansing systematic effects.

    The effectiveness of this seven day plan is that the food eaten burn more calories than they give to the body in caloric value.

    This plan can be used as often as you like without any fear of complications. It is designed to flush your system of impurities and give you a feeling of well being. After seven days you will begin to feel lighter because you will be lighter by at least 10 lbs. You will have an abundance of energy and an improved disposition.

    During the first seven days you must abstain from all alcohol
    You must drink 10 glasses of water each day

    Day One All fruits except bananas. Your first day will consist of all the fruits you want. It is strongly suggested that you consume lots of melons the first day. Especially watermelon and a loupe. If you limit your fruit consumption to melons, your chances of losing three lbs. on first day are very good.

    Oct.4, 2010. i'm doing good. had lots of watermelons for breakfast and dinner, an apple in the morning and a big guava for lunch. too many temptations around but i managed to stick with the fruits. hard but fun.



    Day Two All vegetables. You are encouraged to eat until you are stuffed with all the raw or cooked vegetables of your choice. There is no limit on the amount or type. For your complex carbohydrate, you will start day two with a large baked potato for breakfast. You may top the potato with one pat of butter.


    hmmm. today wasn't easy. i had to say NO to those yummy foods my officemates were eating. arrghhhhh!! i had to close my eyes and keep on saying NO! oh! i can't wait for day five! feast day, please come really soon.


    Day Three A mixture of fruits and vegetables of your choice. Any amount, any quantity. No bananas yet. No potatoes today.

    Day Four Bananas and milk. Today you will eat as many as eight bananas and drink three glasses of milk. This will be combined with the special soup which may be eaten in limited quantities.

    Day Five Today is feast day. You will eat beef and tomatoes. Eat two 10 oz. portions of lean beef. Hamburger is OK. Combine this with six whole tomatoes. On day five you must increase your water intake by one quart. This is to cleanse your system of the uric acid you will be producing.

    Day Six Beef and vegetables. Today you may eat an unlimited amount of beef and vegetables. Eat to your hearts content.

    Day Seven Today your food intake will consist of brown rice, fruit juices and all the vegetables you care to consume.


    Tomorrow morning you will be 10-17 lbs. lighter than one week ago. If you desire further weight loss, repeat the program again. You may repeat this program as often as you like, however, it is suggested that you are allowed two glasses of white wine in addition to the instructions on the program. You may substitute champagne for white wine. Under no circumstances are you to drink any other alcoholic beverages with the exception of beer which is allowed. Any liquor (bourbon,vodka, rum) is forbidden. Cream drinks are especially forbidden. You may have an occasional cordial such as creme de menthe or schnapps, but you must always limit yourself to two drinks. If you wine, drink only wine that day. If you have beer, drink only beer that day, etc. Alcohol adds empty calories to your diet. However, after the first week it will help your digestion and settle your stomach.

    G.M.'S Wonder Soup

    The following soup is intended as a supplement to your diet. It can be eaten any time of the day in virtually unlimited quantities. You are encouraged to consume large quantities of this soup.

    28 oz, Water, 6 Large Onions, 2 Green Peppers, Whole Tomatoes (fresh or canned), 1 Head Cabbage, 1 Bunch Celery, 4 Envelopes Lipton Onion Soup Mix, Herbs and Flavouring as desired.

    Additional Comments

    Vegetables as may be taken in the form of a salad if desired. No dressing except malt, white or wine vinegar, squeezed lemon, garlic, herbs. No more than one tea spoon of oil.

    You have been given a recipe for the WONDER SOUP which can be eaten in unlimited quantities. This soup is a supplement while you are on the program and it should be a pleasure to eat. Not everyone likes cabbage, green peppers, calory etc. This recipe is not inflexible. You may substitute vegetables according to your taste. You may add any vegetables you like: asparagus, peas, corn, turnips, green beans, cauliflower, etc. Try to stay away from beans (lima, pinto, kidney, etc.), however, because they tend to be high in calories even though they are very good for you.

    Beverages you may consume while on the program :

    Water (flavoured with lemon/lime if desired).
    Club Soda is OK.
    Black Coffee. No cream or cream substitute. No sugar or sweetness.
    Black Tea = Herb or Leaf.
    Absolutely nothing else except the fruit juices which are part of day seven. No fruit juices before day seven.
    How and Why It Works

    Day One you are preparing your system for the upcoming programme. Your only source of nutrition is fresh or canned fruits. Fruits are nature's perfect food. They provide everything you could possibly want to sustain life except total balance and variety.

    Day Two starts with a fix of complex carbo-hydrates coupled with an oil dose. This is taken in the morning for energy and balance. The rest of day two consists of vegetables which are virtually calorie free and provide essential nutrients and fibre.

    Day Three eliminates the potato because you get your carbohydrates from the fruits. You system is now prepared to start burning excess pounds. You will still have cravings which should start to diminish by day four.

    Day Four, bananas, milk and soup sound the strangest and least desirable. You're in for a surprise. You probably will not eat all the bananas allowed. But they are there for the potassium you have lost and the sodium you may have missed the past three days. You will notice a definite loss of desire for sweets. You will be surprised how easy this day will go.

    Day Five, Beef and tomatoes. The beef is for iron and proteins, the tomatoes are for digestion and fibre. Lots and lots of water purifies your system. You should notice colourless urine today. Your allowance calls for the equivalent of five "quarter ponders". Do not feel you have to eat all this beef. You must eat the six tomatoes.

    Day Six is similar to day five, Iron and proteins from beef, Vitamins and fibre from vegetables. By now your system is in a total weight loss inclination. There should be a noticeable difference in the way you look today, compared to day one.

    Day Seven finished off the program like a good cigar used to finish off Victorian meals, except much healthier. You have your system under control and it should thank you for the flushing and cleaning you just gave it.
