New!

Wala lang!!!

Hehehe! Wala lang... There are just new stuff going on in my life! And this is really new for this blog since this is the first entry that talks about a positive outlook in life! I just feel really optimistic these days! And I'm willing to share it with you!!

SCHOOL:

I'm already part of the Executive Council of the college where I belong, eventhough I was not able to win in the KASAMA Elections that was held last semester.. The Vice Governor of the college appointed me as his secretary... hehehe! I kinda' had second thoughts at first, but still accepted the task anyway... With this, I'm able to meet new faces, new friends... And my job as part of the E.C is somewhat tiresome but I still enjoy it! Just like old times!!

BIZ:

I'm really happy 'coz lots of people are buying my products! And best of all... I've been given an opportunity to sell in the Bazaar for the upcoming MSU-IIT Charter Week! Well, I won't be alone.. I'm sharing the space with my mom... I know this would really help our businesses! We're having a bit of a problem with the money to invest, but I guess we'll be able to find a few bucks to help us! I'm really excited about the Bazaar! Really! But I hope that we would be able to earn a good profit out of the activity!!! (*crosses my fingers) Wish us luck guys!!!

MUSIC:

I guess I wasn't able to let you know that I'm already singing in a bar.. umm... Every Friday I sing at D'zyr for a few bucks which really helped my parents a bit..Because, the money I'm earning goes to my two-day allowance.. And I'm really about it because, to let you know, to sing in a bar was my ambition since highschool... And I'm very happy about it because I started singing before I turned 20 years old.. hehehe! And I was also able to sing in Tatay's Grill, a classy resto here in Iligan... And lastly, a new opportunity is coming because I was told that Iliganon Bar is in need of a band... So, we (me, zaldy and alal) are willing to apply... And luckily, Zaldy knew the owner.. So.. (*crosses fingers again) We're really hoping we'll be able to make it... So.. wish us luck again guys!!!

I guess that's all... ummm... with my LOVE LIFE... hehehehe! Nothing's really new, except that everythings going smooth between me and my beau... Even if we're already starting to "not seeing each other" again because of our busy schedules... We're still both happy... No fights and misunderstandings so far... hehehehe! (Dapat lang!) And so happy for him with the career opportunities he's having! Hehehe! Medyo teacher na siya karon! Heheheh! Anyway, he's in the other room having a class... And we still love each other sooo much!

Love you ngets!! *mwah*

My Week-Long Vacation

Trip to Bukidnon

Sorry for the late post..

Anyway, the pictures below were taken during our fieldtrip on Socio 128: Human Ecology at Malaybalay, Bukidnon last March 5, 2006.

It was really an exhausting trip, say some of us were told that the assembly time is 3:00 a.m... and that we were able to arrive back at Iligan at 9:00 in the evening...

I enjoy the trip though.. and I can really say that for me was really full of farting moments... haha!

It was the first fieldtrip that I joined where we rode a van, because usually it's a bus or the coaster..

I also played a part in the trip of course! Ummm... aherm! I was the official First Aid attendant... hehehe! And my first time to attend to an unconscious person since one of my classmates fainted at the moment we arrived at our first stop which was the Kaamulan Grounds at Malaybalay City, Bukidnon...

Well, below are some of the pictures that were taken during the trip:

Booze

My hands trembled,
as I slowly took the glass...

Trembling...
Thinking...
Trembling...
Drinking...

Finally, I took a gulp...
Finally, I broke a promise..
Finally, I came back to somewhere I've long forgotten..

I took every gulp with thougths of you,
and wishing that you are still thinking of me...

I drank,
trying to forget this aching pain,
hoping that this liquor could fill the emptiness of my heart..

I drank until it sunk in,
making me feel care-free,
making me laugh so hard and never minding the onlookers passing me by..

I drank and laughed,
hoping the booze could fill me up so I'll end up in slumber..

I drank and I laughed..
I laughed and I drank..
Then I wept..

And I fell into a deep slumber..
Then I woke up..

And I am ALONE.

De-stress

I know it's a bit late for this post.. But I hope it can still help.. I got this from an issue of Health and Home way back my high school.. so, here it is:

STRESS REDUCERS

1. Surround yourself with supportive upbeat friends.

Studies show that people who have a wide social network are less prone to illness and stress than people who have fewer acquaintances.

2. Curb your sweet tooth.

Try not to consume too many foods high in sugar, such as pastries, sodas and candies, which upset the blood sugar balance and contribute to irritability and mood swings.

3. Head for the gym.

Exercise releases endorphins, mood-elevating chemicals in your brain; it also relaxes tight muscles and releases energy-ssapping tension.

4. Take a nap.

A short snooze that's no longer than 20 minutes can be refreshing without compromising the quality of your nighttime sleep.

5. Just say no.

If someone asks you a favor that you'd rather not do, decline and don't feel guilty about it. Phrase your rejection this way: "Unfortunately, I'm so busy right now, I wouldn't be able to do as good a job for you as I'd like."

6. Stretch.

If your stressed at work, sitting all day at a desk doesn't help. Loosen clenched muscles by stretching. Stand up, put your fists into your lower back and lean back from your hips, keeping your legs and back straight.

7. Let the sun shine in.

Since bright light envigorates the senses, opening the curtains upon waking will give you a mood boost to start the day.

8. Drink plenty of water.

Even the smallest degree of dehydration can leave you feeling fatigued or sluggish. Make sure to get the recommended eight glasses of water a day, and steer clear of salt, sugar and caffeine, which dry you out.

9. See things from a child's point of view.

Keep a reminder of your childhood--a stuffed animal, a comic book, or an old toy--nearby to help you put things into perspective when you're stressed out.

10. Get crafty.

A recent study found that sewing, compaired with other activities like painting and reading, was the most relaxing. It helped lower blood pressure rates and perspiration.

11. Enjoy a nice soak.

Your bath may be one place in your house where you're assumed of having some private time.
