Why Are 2.9 Million Filipinos Jobless? [Thoughts]

2008-07-08T16:43:00.005+08:00

Some people who know me personally have already heard about this, but in any case I am at a crossroads in my professional and financial life. I also don't blog a lot and do not wish to associate much with local bloggers save for a few, as you can very well tell. But I have been following a few blogs to keep me focused on one of my life goals, which is financial independence before the age of 30.

The easy-to-use, near-perfect and pretty indestructible interface, the useful add-ons, the fun extensions and themes, the possibility of becoming a part of a Guiness World Record in my own small way, and the deceptive, cunning cuteness of Firefox-tan have made me do it. And really, you ought to join too. v^V~v {displays best imitation of a foxy grin}

What Makes Your Friendship Work?

2008-06-10T17:38:00.002+08:00

What admirable qualities attract you to your friends? What glues your relationships together? I've been thinking about this on and off, but until now I don't have one answer that encompasses everything. However, here's my best attempt in figuring out which qualities attract me to my friends and keep us together: 1) Similarities in our interests, particularly in fandoms and in creative

The usual YAY and NAY.

2008-06-08T23:52:00.001+08:00

YAY: Congratulations to my little sis for finally graduating! I know you won't be doing desk jobs anytime soon though, but that's fine, as long as you do apply some of the things you've learned and not depend solely on your primary investment. NAY: Argh, everyone getting sick at home and all the insanity at work and at home have made me FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT. My belly is distended and I look

Lahdeedaaaahhhhhhhhhhh.

All my cosplay friends have posted a reaction to an article (okay, two) written on the Philippine Daily Inquirer. Here's what I can say about it: ...Sorry, had to skim the page. Got more important things to do like... well, work and think about whether or not I'm going to the Air Supply concert with Mum who is so dead-set on it. @_@. EDIT: I'll be reprinting my post and her defense in a very

Under the weather and the aftermath of a party.

2008-05-27T17:05:00.002+08:00

Hi everyone! I'm sorry I disappeared. I went on a swimming weekend out with friends, but because of the cold water and the changeable weather, I got really sick. Even now I've got a cold, and my coughing hasn't stopped yet. Cold weather and I have never agreed with each other (I still wonder how I was able to last so long during Christmas vacation last year in California). I'm also not feeling up

Sticker Pictures! d^~^b

2008-05-16T18:06:00.002+08:00

As y'all may have noticed, I'm a tad obsessed with cute things. I guess it comes with the territory of being a fangirl of Japanese pop culture. And few things could possibly be cuter than sticker pictures or purikura!Sticker pictures can be had at special photobooths, usually in arcades or unused corners of the mall. The older booths (I mean, 1990s sticker picture booths) allowed you only to pick

FOOD PR0N! [WORKSAFE = starring only food, not pr0n XD]

I'm not sure if I've indicated this on my profile, but I am a die-hard foodie. I'm a die-hard foodie to the point that I know I'm going to die by overeating a certain piece of food - what it is yet I'm not really sure though, so it's possible I'll die by overeating in general. XD;But enough of death. As I was saying I'm a die-hard foodie and so I enjoy eating out immensely. I have been to a lot

Frustrated girl is bloody frustrated.Wavering at work (half the problem is with me, I know, and I'm working on it), the internet frustrating me with random disconnection (both at home and at work), my weight still being inconsistent and my fat still not melting no matter what I do at the gym... blah. Tips anyone? One more thing, please buy my stuff! :3 I can assure you I took good care of these

This is how I looked up until early Sunday afternoon:This is how I look like NOW.And to top it off, I got myself nail art too!LOL, I can't just say na niyaya ako ni Kaye (my younger sister), though ultimately she did convince me to go. I've been contemplating on looking prettier for some time, and worrying over the increasing thinness and hairfall of my already sparse eyelashes. XD;;; I think I'm

You're as uninspired as uninspired, f**k. >o< I've been a bit more active posting on my Granado Espada fanblog, Cartas Y Dibujos con la Familia Lucido, but not by much. Seriously. I should start doing more (which I always say I plan to use but never do) and collect photos from the intarwebz less. XP

2008-03-25T09:50:00.006+08:00

I've been feeling extremely restless due to the conflicting thoughts and emotions I have experienced in the past 12 (and more!) months, so much so that all I've been doing is pray desperately, like in the unfinished choral psalm of Henry Purcell: "Hear my prayer, O Lord / and let my crying come unto Thee." Yes, that's pretty much it - I don't even know where to begin defining what the cause of my

Heartbreak Leave wins. XD

2008-01-30T11:29:00.000+08:00

I wish we had heartbreak leave at work too, but right now what's more important is that I don't and won't actually need heartbreak leave. ^_^ Thanks to a batchmate of mine from high school, Ada Yao, for posting this.

Happy New Year everyone! Hope your holidays were good. X3 As if my growing addiction to Charmmy Kitty is not enough, a friend of a friend introduced me to the most ridiculously cute and hilarious sci-fi/slice-of-life anime comedies to come out of Japan this past fall season: Moyashimon, Tales of Agriculture. It's about this freshman at an agricultural university whose talent is seeing and

2007-11-09T19:38:00.000+08:00

I hate this. I know I should be staying away from the overcute, but it seems like I'm genetically programmed to not only gravitate to it, but to have it gravitate to me. 6=.=0 Like I said in the previous post, the cuddly characters of Sanrio Corporation (Zashikibuta, Charmmy Kitty, BadBadtzMaru and Kuromi of the latest My Melody anime in particular) owns my soul so bad, I think I need to switch

Things have been very interesting for me lately, but not all of them will make the light of day here for very personal reasons. However, what I can tell you is that I've put up a new fanblog to contain my Granado Espada fan ramblings here: Cartas y Dibujos con la Familia Lucido. Thanks to my friends DeSanggria-player and NineMoons-player for the patience! Thanks to this game my interests in

I received this as a fowarded message from a co-worker, a fellow masochist. XD Translated some lines to the best of my ability, for the sake of my friends and contacts who aren't able to read Filipino. Yay to all Account Executives (or Account Managers, as in our case here in the office) everywhere!!! XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD PS I have no cleavage to speak of, so leg exposure na lang, lol. X3

Cosplay @ Cinemanila's CINEMANGA!

2007-08-07T19:14:00.000+08:00

In recognition of Japan's amazing contribution to world cinema, most notably in animation, the Cinemanila International Film Festival celebrates CINEMANGA. CINEMANGA is instrumental in introducing acclaimed anime films to Philippines shores. In 2005, it screened the award-winning films Appleseed by Shinji Aramaki, Steamboy by Katsuhiro Otomo and Ghost in the Shell: Innocence by Mamoru

Maraming salamat Blogger/Google! \^0^/ Ngayon, mapapalitan ko na ang pangalan ng blog ko, whee!
