Music Monday, Countdown to 30! #1

May 20, 2013 in Memes, Music Monday, My Life

I turn 30 this year.I know right?!:-O OMG!:-O Time just went by so quickly it’s crazy!:|

And although my friends say that it isn’t an issue {they’re older by months, hahaha :)) so they say it’s not an issue}, it’s kind of a big deal to me.

The thought of aging, is somewhat terrifying and at the same time fascinating to me. I really don’t like to have wrinkles and sagging skin and all that, so like a good girl, I moisturize and lotion up like there’s no tomorrow. I read that it keeps the skin from aging prematurely.

I still feel like I’m that 19 year old doe Bette Davis eyed teenager who fell in love and settled down with the man of his dreams. But alas, the mirror and the effects of having 2 kids have finally taken a toll on my body and now, somehow, I feel, well, OLD.:|

Anyway, because my birthday is only a couple of months away, I’ve decided that from now on until my birthday, I will feature songs that have something to do with age. That’s my theme for Music Monday in the coming weeks. Yeah, this should be interesting, like how many songs do you know that have an age theme?:P Yeah, this will be an awesome challenge.:D

Elections 2013

May 17, 2013 in my beliefs

This is MY OPINION. I’m not forcing it on you, if you don’t agree, there’s nothing I can do about that, I respect your opinion so please respect mine. There’s no need to hate.

So, the elections are over and unfortunately, the results are not how I envisioned them to be, both National and Local. It’s that time when we get a chance to change who sits in the Senate and in Congress, to make, approve, disapprove laws and make our country a better place to live in. We also have a chance to re-elect or elect new people to lead and represent our city on the National level. So we need to elect or re-elect 12 Senators and a Party List. Locally, we have to elect or re-elect 1 Mayor, 1 Vice Mayor, 1 Congressman and 12 Councilors.

My Thoughts on the National Elections:

It’s really sad that some of the people I voted for did not even make it to top 12. Even sadder is the fact that Nancy Binay made it, even securing the 5th spot! WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED.

LOL! I love this photo that’s been circling around Social Media sites. {photo taken from the web}

7-Eleven’s 7-Election

April 29, 2013 in my beliefs, Stuff That Matter To Me

If you know me, then you know how much of a loud mouth I am very opinionated I can be. However, when it comes to political issues, I prefer to stay mum because I don’t think arguing with someone who refuses to see reason is worth anything. Although there have been times that I’ve not been able to hold my tongue and I post it on Twitter or Facebook, but I’ve never really blogged about it, because I hardly think that it’s worth a space on my blog, especially if it will call the attention of stupid trolls just waiting for a chance to bash on someone who doesn’t agree with them.

Anyway, this isn’t a political post or anything. It’s just about the fascinating campaign that 7-Eleven stores have launched as part of their Gulp! drink promotional sales strategy. They’ve replaced their usual Gulp! cups with that of cups that bear the names and faces of people who are currently running as Senators. There are 3 different cups, one for each party {Team PNoy, UNA and the Independent Candidates as well as other Parties}.

My Summer Plans

April 28, 2013 in Chakai, Lucas, Musical Instruments, My Life, People In My Life, Stuff That Matter To Me

When I was a kid, half of my summer was spent reading a really good book that I’ve been dying to for that whole year {yes, I’ve always been a book worm}, a quarter of it spent on vacation in Manila to spend time with my Mom and my siblings and a quarter of it doing some kind of summer activity like swimming, doing sports or enrolling in a summer class of some sort.

I did take swimming lessons as a kid, and I learned how not to drown, but I really can’t swim swim, you know? :)) And as for sports, I remember when I was 8 and my grandma enrolled me in like a basketball camp of something, I only went the first day and I never came back, Sports and I, we’re civil, but we’re so not friends. :)) I did take ballet, and that was something I love, so I took it every summer that I can, alternating with summer ballet programs here and in Manila.

Thursday’s a B!tch

April 18, 2013 in furniture, home improvement, My Life, Stuff That Matter To Me

Thursday was a bitch today. For some reason, she hated my guts, so she picked me up and slammed me onto the floor real hard. I wish this day would just end. Talk about a long day!

As if my schedule wasn’t busy enough, everything seemed to be off today. I can’t explain how exactly, it just is. Have I mentioned I wish this day would end already? Ugh.

And it is so damn hot! I love the hot weather, but today was particularly warm, there wasn’t even a soothing breeze, it sucked.

And as if I’m not busy enough, the new theme update for my food blog is all screwy. Damn, damn, damn. Things are just so wrong today. Is there a full moon or something?! What the hell is going on.

Frantic and Panicky

April 17, 2013 in Blogging

When I was asked to take charge of this year’s Baguio Blog Conference, I didn’t think it would be this stressful. I mean, I knew it would require some hard work, but I did not expect it to be totally stressful. I feel like a headless chicken, waving my arms and running around not knowing exactly where to go or what to do.:-SS

It’s craaaaazy stressful!8-}

Baguio Blog Conference 2013

April 17, 2013 in Blogging, My Life

Last year, I was fortunate enough to have been asked to become a speaker for the First ever Baguio Blog Conference by Vince of LakbayBaguio. He had this vision about spreading the word about his passion for blogging and hopefully encourage more people in our beloved city to realize that there are a lot of other things you can do online other than go on Facebook. So he went door to door, literally, asking local businesses to help him out. Unfortunately for him, Baguio City is still way behind when it comes to knowing about how influential a blogger can be, so they turned him down, there were a few establishments that did help out and we will forever be grateful because they made the first ever blog conference a success.

Are you ready for the next one?

Dream Voice

April 14, 2013 in Lucas, Musical Instruments, Stuff That Matter To Me

I love The Voice!

I love that the coaches pick contestants based on their voices alone, which makes it so credible because the appearance of the singer is not taken into consideration, it is just pure talent.

I love Christina Aguillera and Cee Lo, both were amazing coaches the previous seasons and I honestly thought that I wouldn’t enjoy the show as much if they left, but I was pleasantly surprised that Usher and Shakira are equally amazing than the former coaches, in fact, I think I may like them both better. And they just seem to work well with Adam Levine and Blake Shelton as well.

Dear Intense Debate

April 13, 2013 in Blogging

I have been a loyal user of the Intense Debate comment system since JS-Kit went all funky on me and made some of the comments made on this blog disappear to Glob knows where. And for years I have been a happy camper. Until quite recently, I realized that it wasn’t syncing the way it should with my blog. Which means half of the comments made on my blog, never make it on my blog. At all. I love reading my readers’ comments, it makes me feel like what I said affected them in some way, even the negative comments are entertaining. And for it to just disappear like that makes me really sad, and a little peeved.

It was really nice knowing you, unfortunately, I have to say good bye for now because I don’t want to lose any more valuable comments. I will so miss the convenience of responding to comments through e-mail. I will also miss your awesome layout options because you have one that fits my blogs just right.

I want you to know that letting you go is hard, but it must be done.

XOX,

Sports as a Theme

April 1, 2013 in furniture, home improvement, Stuff That Matter To Me

Sports and I are like water and oil.

We just don’t mix.

I don’t know the first thing about sports, and really, why should I bother? It’s not like I can get anything out of it anyway. Unlike other girls who actually understand the importance and the valuable lessons sports can give you, I’ve been hit in the face with different types of balls to figure out that I can live without knowing it.:D

However, that doesn’t mean I can’t have a Sports themed room, or dress like a sports person, I don’t usually, but some sports outfits are fun.:P

Sure, I can’t understand what goes on during a basketball game or any other sports game, I have to endure watching it with B when he wants to watch a game but I end up dozing off 2 minutes in anyway, so it’s all good, but I pretty much know what type of sports inspired furniture will go well in a room.:D
