Hora Cápsula

This has been keeping me busy....

2010-06-04T21:21:00.002+08:00

Just finished reading Eragon a week ago and I thoroughly enjoyed it(much to my amazement). Thanks to The Secret Garden, I think I will be in a reading spree this year - something that I failed to do last year. Growing up, I haven't really developed that much interest in reading... and I really feel dumb because of it. But I guess that's the beauty of reading as a hobby - you can pick it up at any point in your life and still enjoy it.(Unlike tennis, getting a job or voice acting...) Unless you wanna read really fast though, I think that comes with plenty of practice. I have a friend who can read a 300+ page novel in just a couple of hours! That is like w(°ｏ°)w! But then again, what's the rush anyway? I prefer leisurely reading, especially if the story I am reading is set in a different place or time line that I enjoy because its very much like getting away from the real world. Some of the books I have lined up to read are: the other books from the Inheritance Cycle(of course), Frank Herbert's Dune, The Lord of the Rings, Lavinia by Ursula K.Le Guin and more classic novels because I immensely enjoy reading the classics.

I also picked up Charice's new album and I like it. What I like about it is its got a lot of positive songs. You know, that kinda stuff you wanna listen to over and over because it sort of empowers you. Of course the vocals is still great(that's an understatement). I discovered Imogen Heap too just very recently... and she has also been a very positive influence on me. Her songwriting is just brilliant! If I did happen to be a song writer, I'd probably write the same weird and deep songs she writes. Hehe...

Not so good mood... but trying.

Lately, I always catch myself feeling angry or depressed about things. Sucks. Aunt Irma must be coming...

Anyhow, please excuse me because I will rant now...

I was just thinking about all the stupid things Ms.Pokey did to me and I feel so mad about it. That time when she kept calling me up - even if I said I was busy, just to listen to her seemingly endless whining about her girlfriend problems; her disrespect for my time; all those times when she was a one-sided conversationalist; and those pathetic times when I so hated how she was like a freakin' lifeless rock! Oh and she even almost butchered my favorite book by plastering the edges with scotch-tape! - What a dumb ass! Urgh! I know its wrong to feel anger just because somebody wronged you, but I guess I am more mad at myself for allowing her to make a fool of me. I swear, I will NEVER speak to her again as long as I live! She's stupid! And yeah, lately I realized that she's a wannabe too! How pathetic! (‡▼_▼)

Kawaii~!

2010-03-31T00:32:00.001+08:00

Hiya! Today was a busy day juggling work and finding a house for my grandma. Next month she might be moving to Laguna from Manila so we gotta find her a new place where she can live comfortably.

While driving around the neighborhood, my mom and I stopped by a local plant store. I wasn't intending to purchase anything - I just felt like "looking around". But when I spotted a beautiful reddish pink rose plant by the gate, I instantly fell in love with it! Surprisingly, it was just P40! Yahoo~!!! But of course, since I am on a tight budget right now, I still had to persuade my rational self that I was making a good decision - and that it wasn't just a rash purchase ( because apaparently, "I think the plant was uber pretty" didn't sound like a rational enough reason to it...) Anyway, I thought it was rather funny how I convinced myself to buy it. I just told myself that this flower was gonna give me good luck! Haha, I dunno where that came from but my rational self seemed to have agreed and allowed me to buy it!

When I got home, I placed it right outside my window. Now everybody who walks in my room can't help but admire the pretty thing. They say it makes my room look more beautiful. Si~gh - I think it certainly does! And that's just as good as a good luck I guess.（＾∀＾）

My rose plant... who doesn't have a name yet. Hehe...（￣ー￣）

Things to be thankful for today...

2010-03-30T00:14:00.001+08:00

My mom and I went for an evening walk together. Even if it was just to buy dinner and all we did along the way was talk about random stuff, I really, really enjoyed hanging out with her. Before she went to bed she told me that we should do it again sometime. I certainly agree! Also the moon, the weather and the streets were just beautiful this evening. I am happy to be living where I am and I am happy with my family.

I need to kewl down...

2010-03-29T14:24:00.000+08:00

I am disturbed by how quick my temper snaps these days. I hate it because I don't seem to grow out of my anger... I used to think that maybe this was just due to my "passionate" nature. But recently even I can't stand myself! I feel like such a mean person. I just want to be happy...

A long update because I was extremely lazy...

2010-03-27T13:09:00.006+08:00

Hiya! Laziness has gotten the best of me so it is only now that I update! ( ﾟ▽ﾟ) Truth is, I have been feeling a bit blue lately which I can't really explain why so I'ma just sorting things out and maybe I can tell ya in detail --- or maybe not? I really don't like writing about sad stuff... hehe. Anyways, I was pretty pleased with my day yesterday because I learned a lot from singing lessons. We tackled vocalization, and it made me really nervous because I wasn't confident following a piano accompaniment but for someone who always goes flat when singing, I guess I did alright. So yay! ( ^_^) Also another thing to be grateful for: was seeing the movie How to Train Your Dragon. I loved the movie because everything about it was just so lovable! The animation, the story and the characters! I love Hiccup and Toothless! I think its really cool how the story has put an adorable twist to dragons. I mean, I have been fascinated by dragons ever since but this story just made them more interesting! I also especially like the fact that I knew significantly nothing about this film before I watched it because it wasn't spoiled for me. I think I really enjoy things that way... "as an empty cup" so to speak. My brain just gets so critical about things the more I am informed! Hehe.

Today, is a beautiful day but I bet I won't be getting any invitation from Ms.Pokey, to play tennis. After last week's incident(which I haven't written about here), she is probably cowering away in her house - still scared of me. I never realized how much of a coward she really is... Oh yeah and I will never give Brujababa the pleasure of picking on me again - that's for sure! Whatahagsheis! If I were a dragon, I would definitely burn her pathetic store down - with her in it! *evil grin* Yes, I hate old impolite people! Shame on them! (,,#ﾟДﾟ):∴;'･,;`:BURN!!!

I am one a happy chica!

2010-03-16T22:32:00.046+08:00

I just found out today that my sister enrolled me in singing classes! (*^^*)ﾎﾟｯ Aww boy, I have always loved singing but never had the guts to actually enroll in a singing class. When she told me about it I was ecstatic! Sigh, to finally get to formally study singing... its feels weirdly great. Somebody pinch me! Lolz.Ｏ(≧∇≦)Ｏ

This summer I am also planning to attend PETA's Acting Workshop. Also, just like singing, I have always had this passion for acting. Which is why I enjoy dubbing so much, I guess. The only catch is, the workshop will cause me an arm and a leg so I am struggling to save up for that - but I am applying The Secret mentality to that "dream" so I'm psyching myself up that I'm already enrolled. Lolz. So yesh, wish me luck! 八(＾□＾*)

Today, we all thought we lost out dear pet Happy forever. We looked all over for him this morning - in and out the house but he was nowhere to be found! I was just about to give up when all of a sudden(after hours of searching) he just walked in the door! Rofl! All of us got up an shouted HAPPY! And truly we were!(＾∇＾)

More ice cream today...

2010-03-13T22:44:00.010+08:00

I've been craving ice cream a lot lately. Not sure if its just a sweet tooth thing or if its because of the extremely warm weather... anyway, everyone was surely pleased when they discovered the tub I took home in the fridge. Hehe.

Our favorite flavor: Neapolitan (vanilla, chocolate and strawberry)

We really like King's ice cream. Its very creamy and refreshing! Kinda reminds me of Dippin' Dots - yeah exactly like that! (except that it doesn't come in tiny balls).（＾＾）

I am an introvert afterall

2010-03-12T12:49:00.017+08:00

Lately, since I have been doing a lot of self-introspection and pondering on the mystery that is "me". I discovered that I am huge introvert after all! Ｏ(≧∇≦)Ｏ I find it extremely surprising because I've been denying that fact about me for years only because I thought it was a weakness. But after chancing upon an eye-opening(which got me a bit teary-eyed too) definition over at About.com, I realized that there is nothing weak about being an introvert. In fact I think its rather a "special" characteristic that I think I should be proud of because it gives me a unique identity!

According to Carol Bainbridge : "Basically, an introvert is a person who is energized by being alone and whose energy is drained by being around other people."

I was most certainly shocked at this particular description because it was right on-the-mark about what I mostly felt about being around people - for too long. I, for one, have a very "animated" sister and somehow even if I like being with her, I feel I can't stand it for a whole day.

"When introverts want to be alone, it is not, by itself, a sign of depression. It means that they either need to regain their energy from being around people or that they simply want the time to be with their own thoughts."

I used to think it was indeed a sign of depression. And that's what my sister thought too. Which is why she always poked me to socialize more, than lock myself up in a room. But somehow, no matter how "guilty" I felt wanting to be alone, I still wanted it so bad. Because deep inside it made me feel good. Before I didn't understand how this benefited me or how to explain it to people but now I know. It was something that I really needed - like sleep. It was my nature to want it. Simple as that.

"Being with people, even people they like and are comfortable with, can prevent them from their desire to be quietly introspective."

I didn't consider myself doing something as deep as introspection then when I locked myself up in a room(and just stared at the ceiling and the walls all day). I just knew it helped me better my state of mind. Its funny when I look back at all those times that I denied who I really was, when all I was was an introvert: someone who needed more space and alone time compared to everyone else... （・∀・）

Life is bittersweet...

2010-03-11T21:37:00.008+08:00

Today, as always, I will put 101% effort in what I do even if I know that there are people who treat my work like its nothing important. As much as I do want to tell those people off and embarrass them for being so careless and stupid, to appease my aching heart, I will try my best not to think about them because they will only ruin my mood. Sigh. Its so hard to be a decent person. Its hard to be nice. ~~Wouldn't it be great if you could just beat-up these destructively-moronic-sorry-excuses-for-homosapiens?~~ (。_°☆＼(- - )

We had a simple and delicious lunch today: fried Mackarel Scad and boiled beef soup(just sipped the soup and ate the veggies)! Plus this evening we had a delicious egg pie for dinner! Yum~! I feel my taste buds are happier now and I could concentrate more on work! Yay, for healthy meals! ヘ(^_^ヘ)(ノ^_^)ノ

My tongue is blue...

2010-03-10T14:15:00.017+08:00

I dunno what's wrong with me lately but it seems that nothing I eat satisfies me. I keep looking for something else to eat. I thought it was just a lack of sweets in my diet but not even ice cream could appease me! (T_T) *sob* In desperation, I ate chopped onions last night just to check if my taste buds were still working. Well... it seemed like it was. Hmm, I might just be missing a certain dish. Something with a strong flavor maybe? I really hope I get to figure this out soon. It is killing me!

Hi, I am back!

2010-03-09T20:15:00.014+08:00

Heya, haven't been here in a long time. I am hoping I will be able to keep updating this blog for the entirety of this year... and many years to come. Somewhere down the road I guess I kinda lost my interest in blogging which is why I stayed away from it... but anyways, I am back with a renewed spirit! o(^^o)(o^^)o So yeah, I will try my best to continue this blog. Even if not for anyone else but myself. Teehee.

So to start with...

Today, is a work day for me but of course since I am working at home - its a "casual" work day. Not much pressure. I am working on a shoujo-anime series (which I cannot mention as of yet - sorry!) But I feel extremely lucky to have been given the opportunity to translate this to our native language. As soon as this anime airs on local TV I will be able to tell you guys more about it in detail and also about the character I am voicing for in this anime. In the meantime, I will rave about another show that I was involved with last year which is currently being shown every week day at QTV11. The title of the show is New Heart! Its that Korean hospital drama starring Jo Jae Hyun, Ji Sung and Kim Min Jung - have you heard about it? (I bet you did. Its the best show on its time slot, in my opinion. Lolz). I felt I almost died writing for that drama because the episodes were sooo long and technical (and considering it was my first Korean project as a writer) but it was well worth it! I hope you guys catch it if you have the time. It has a good plot and the characters are really endearing. (^_^)

Well, that's it for me for now. More stories again next time! Take care!

Cleo, here kitty-kitty!

2009-06-01T18:26:00.005+08:00

This is my cat Cleopatra or Clee/Cleo/Klee-klee... she really acts like a queen! She is always seeking attention from me and is such a prima donna compared to the other cats in our house. But she's uber sweet which is why I can't scold her even if she acts quite spoiled at times. (’-’*)
