Theme

I guess the “venom” of the Twilight series is still running though my veins. I just finished creating my own version of Twilight theme for my phone. This is actually the first time that I created a theme and I’m really soo excited to use it... here’s my masterpiece:

Better Man



Let’s deviate a little from my usual topics...hehehe...


Every Filipino still has the “aftershock” of the pride that Manny Pacquiao has brought to our country by defeating one of the legends in boxing – Oscar dela Hoya. I am happy and proud that PacMan won the fight but at the same time I am also proud that I am a Golden Boy fan. I soo admire the way he accepted his defeat. On his interview after the fight, he had nothing but praises for Manny which actually made me smile. I mean, some fighters would actually say some excuses as to why they lost the fight...but Oscar...what he did was he admitted directly that Manny is the better man when it comes to the ring. Surely he is one of a kind and all I can say is, “Golden Boy, though you lost the fight, I still am glad that I am one of your fans...coz you truly are a gentleman! Hats-off to you!”


(‘Nyways, you got bigger money than Pacquiao did...hahaha...)

Twilight Cars

Aside from the very interesting characters that the Twilight series has, the Cars were the ones that really caught my attention. Stephenie Meyer posted the cars that the Cullens have in the series on her site. So we all know how they look like, here are the Cullen cars (and Jacob’s, too):


Bella’s Chevy:


Edward’s Volvo:


Rosalie’s BMW:


Carlisle’s Mercedes:


Emmett's Jeep:


Jacob's VW Rabbit:


Alice's Porsche:

Bella's "before" car... Mercedes Benz Guardian:

Bella's "after" car... Ferrari:

Hats-off to the "Twilight" Cars!!!

Into the Twilight



As we all know, almost everyone has got the Twilight fever. Wherever you go, you hear people talk about it and it’s just so fun to listen...hehehe...

I have completed reading the series and I am hats-off to Stephenie Meyer for creating such a masterpiece. Actually, it was never my intention to really read even the first book “Twilight”. My colleague gave me a .pdf file copy of the novel but I never really paid too much attention to it because first of all it’s a teeny-bopper novel and then it’s a series...so I have to read a lot of books which I didn’t really intend to do coz I have a lot in mind. I just got interest with it when I heard my friend Poks and her friend talked about the story. They kept on mentioning the names of the characters. ”Edward...Bella...interesting names”, I thought to myself. So when I got home, I downloaded the file that has been sitting in my mailbox for almost a month already and viola! I couldn’t stop anymore! I found myself soo drowned in the love story of Edward and Bella that I was able to finish the four books in 2 months! I just adore the way how the author conveyed the profound love story of Edward and Bella and how she deviated from the common beliefs that we have about vampires...very original. I am actually trying to read the draft that posted on the author’s site for the unfinished “Midnight Sun.” too bad that this novel leaked even before it was finished... I hope Stephenie Meyer will finish this soon coz it’s a very interesting version of “Twilight”.

Right now, the “venom” of the Twilight is still within me and I’m sure it’s here to stay for a while! =)

Break Up

Merriam-Webster defined “break up” as ceasing to exist as a unified whole or to end a romance. But how does one deal with break up?



Ending a relationship is just soo painful. You can’t eat, you can’t sleep, you can’t think right. It’s rocking every core of your being. In short, break up SUCKS!

But no matter how bad the feeling is, there’s one thing that we have to realize: Break up happens for a reason…no matter how hard you try to deny it, deep down inside, you know what that reason is. There’s no quick remedy for the pain that you’re feeling now, but like all wounds, you will heal in time.

Instead of punishing yourself by thinking of all the reasons why you should go on and try to fix the relationship, sometimes, you just have to accept the fact that there are some things that can no longer be fixed. Acceptance, I think, is the key to deal with break up. Just because your relationship is broken, it doesn’t necessarily mean you are. You must keep in mind that if this relationship did not work, then you’re better off… there are greater possibilities ahead and you’re headed to someone that is perfect for you and worthy of the beauty that you have.

Women...Women...Women


Came across this list and it’s just soo cute…guys, time to learn some lessons… :-P

Things to know about Women







~ Women think all beer is the same.

~ Women brush their hair before bed.

~ Women are paid less than men, except for one field: Modelling.

~ Women never have anything to wear. Don’t question the racks of clothes in the closet; you ‘just don’t understand’.

~ Women need to cry. And they won’t do it alone unless they know you can hear them.

~ Women will always ask questions that have no right answer, in an effort to trap you into feeling guilty.

~ Women need to feel like there are people worse off than they are. That’s why soap operas and Oprah Winfrey-type shows are so successful.

~ Women always go to public restrooms in groups. It gives them a chance to gossip.

~ Women do not know anything about cars. ‘Oil-stick, oil doesn’t stick?’

~ Women love to talk. Silence intimidates them and they feel a need to fill it, even if they have nothing to say.

~ Women hate bugs. Even the strong-willed ones need a man around when there’s a spider or a wasp involved.

~ Women can’t keep secrets. They eat away at them from the inside. And they don’t view it as being untrustworthy, providing they only tell two or three people.

~ Women love to shop. It is the one area of the world where they feel like they’re actually in control.

~ Women especially love a bargain. The question of ‘need’ is irrelevant; so don’t bother pointing it out. Anything on sale is fair game.

~ Women never understand why men love toys. Men understand that they wouldn’t need toys if women had an ‘on/off’ switch.

~ Women love cats. Men say they love cats, but when women aren’t looking, men kick cats.

~ Women have better restrooms. They get the nice chairs and red carpet. Men just get a large bowl to share.

~ The average number of items in a typical woman’s bathroom is 437.A man would not be able to identify most of these items.

~ Women don’t understand the appeal of sports. Men seek entertainment that allows them to escape reality. Women seek entertainment that reminds them of how horrible things could be.

~ Women can’t refuse to answer a ringing phone,no matter what she’s doing. It might be the lottery calling.

~ If a man goes on a seven-day trip, he’ll pack five days worth of clothes and will wear some things twice; if a woman goes on a seven day trip she’ll pack 21 outfits because she doesn’t know what she’ll feel like wearing each day.

~ Women keep three different shampoos and two different conditioners in the shower. After a woman showers, the bathroom will smell like a tropical rain forest.

~ Women are never wrong. Apologizing is the man’s responsibility,’It’s there in the Bible’.
Hmmm, who was it that gave Adam the apple?

Mind Boggles


I never really wrote about something that really occupies my thoughts. Probably it’s because I don’t have the time to put them into writing or I just wanted to keep them for myself and never really talk about it.

I came across few articles/blogs and it made me feel that, somehow, writing about your thoughts is not really a bad idea…especially if you don’t have someone to discuss these thoughts with. (too bad for me, I guess…hehehe)

What am I thinking about now? Well, a lot of things…way lot of things. Actually, most of these thoughts that I have now would be about my career…work. I’ve been working in this company for almost four years now and I feel that there’s no growth for me anymore. I want to move on and try another work but something’s holding me back…not sure what that is. Could it be because I got too comfortable with my current job and now I’m hesitant to take the risk and look for other opportunities for me? It could also be that I can’t look for another job that would have the same or similar compensation with what I’m currently getting. I mean, with all the prices going up, this is one of the first things that you consider when searching for a job. Or it could be that I don’t have much faith with my capabilities anymore.

I know the last possibility that I mentioned is a bit disturbing but there are instances that I feel this way. I must admit, I learned a lot of things, both professional and personal, with my current job but at the same time I somehow feel that being in this job for quite a while, I already lost my capability to pursue the career that I wanted to begin with. The world that I hoped to live in when I was still in college is a very competitive world, up to now, that is still a fact. Whenever I watch the news and see how these people I look up to do their jobs, I could only imagine the thrill that they’re experiencing with every news they deliver. Oh, how I long to be part of them, do the same things that they’re doing but as I’ve said, I’m not even sure anymore if I have the edge to do that.

I guess for now this will just remain in my imagination.

Stupid Love




A friend once told me that “Love does fade…that sometimes the heart does get tired of loving, longing, waiting, and hoping.”


If this is true, why is it that there are people who never get tired of loving someone though they are well aware that this love will never be reciprocated? Why do they waste their time, waiting for them to be noticed by that person…just waiting, not knowing when this is gonna happen. And if they sort of realize that they need to do something and just forget about that person, that person comes, shows a little affection or sometimes mere attention, then “boom!”, back to zero…back to loving, waiting and hoping. How are we supposed to stop this cycle? Most would respond, “use your head”…well, the fact is, it’s better said than done…if emotions were already invested, it’s just soo damn hard to tell your heart to stop feeling what it’s feeling though you know that it’s no longer right…that you need to stop.


I just hope, whoever is in this position now, that they will be able to pick the pieces up and move on with their lives. I wish them well…that’s all I hope for…
