LESS TALK .. LESS MISTAKE .. LESS CONFLICT..

Since the day I learned making friends, I really believed that I am very good in treasuring and giving importance to friendship. Everyone who knew me how emotional I get when it comes to my friends. Until today, I still have communications from my elementary friends, high school friends, college friends and even those who I worked with from my previous jobs. I always enjoyed chatting with them and spending time with them once in a while especially now that we’re all grown up and busy with our own lives. But what happens next when too much conflict happened between you and some of your friends and you’re all fed up? We’ve tried to fix things but for some reason we’re not like the same one just like before. Now it seems like we’re drifting apart from each other. Although, there are times we missed the old days, yet we can’t bring it back the way it used to be and we’re now like different persons who can’t stand each other’s company. That’s the sad part of it. Although they don’...

alcohol poisoning

I realized something today after reading some article about alcohol poisoning. Well, not that I am a drinker but I do get drunk a few times with friends. Last Christmas Eve after having some shots of alcohol, for the second time I experienced having difficulty in breathing but not as bad as the first time I experienced it. The first time I had it was really worst, I really can’t breathe that time, chest pain was really unbearable, my friends told me the morning after that I look so pale and I realized it might be an alcohol poisoning. It’s kinda scary after learning about it and I think from now on I should drink responsibly. According to http://www.ehow.com/about_5589142_alcohol_related-breathing-problems.html Alcohol is a depressant, meaning it will slow down your nervous system. Depending on the amount of alcohol you consume, you may experience a variety of emotional and physical changes. For example, when alcohol is absorbed in your bloodstream, it is then dispersed to ...

yummy noche buena!.. :D

Every time there is an occasion or any family gathering,  papa  never failed to show where he is best at.. none other than cooking and food presentation. By the way, he is a former cook and I know he missed the things he do before.  So, this is what he prepared for our  Noche Buena  last Christmas eve, deliciously simple but beautiful! Love it !!.. :D Merry Christmas!!

papa's laughter .. :D

My father is a very serious person. He seldom laugh, it’s like laughing cost too much for him. There are times when all of us are laughing too loud and almost having stomach ache for laughing while watching some comedy movie or TV show, then there he is just sitting quietly at the side with no expression on his face even a slight. That’s why whenever we saw him laugh or even smile, that’s really SOMETHING to us!.. :D because it’s very unusual. It’s a great feeling seeing him like that. It makes me really happy. I know my other siblings would say that too. I remember just the other day I caught him laughing because of my nieces and nephew. Chezka (my older brother’s 2 year old daughter) was trying to fit herself beside my mom who’s already carrying JM (my brother’s 6 month old son), then there at the other side was Ashley (my sister’s 5 year old daughter) who’s having a little tantrum because of jealousy with her younger cousins. Imagine the three of them wanting my mom’s atte...

out little "drama queen".. awwww ..

It breaks my heart as I saw her crying silently after she spoke with my sister over the phone. I don’t know how will I console her, I’m not good at it. I wish my goodnight kiss to her helps her even in a slight way. My sister works as a field researcher/interviewer that’s why most of the time she was away from home. Her daughter Ashley was always left at home with my mother. She was such an emotional child, she easily cries about little things even from watching teleseryes or just because of her crazy imaginations. We made fun of her because of that by calling her as “ drama queen”. But seeing her crying silently a while ago is not funny. She misses her mom so much and she’s not used to sleep at night with no one beside her.

Construction during Christmas Season

Twenty days to go and it’s Christmas day. Christmas decorations are everywhere. People are busy rushing for Christmas shopping. That’s the usual things we observed during this season and that’s reasonable. What I don’t understand is that why does road construction is also everywhere during this month when they knew that this is also the season that most of the people are busy. When in fact they have lots of time to do that instead and not during “ ber ” months. I know, it’s not that easy and it’s not just the time factor on when should be road construction should be done, there’s the budget from the government, etc. It just that I noticed it’s always like that yearly. I don’t know why, it’s like they telling the people that it’s their gift, that they are giving this big favor to us and soon it’s us  who will benefit to that. Still, I don’t get it! It pisses me off every time I saw the sign “SORRY FOR THE INCOVENIENCE. ROAD IS UNDER CONSTRUCTION”. Well, they should be sorry...

it's Buffy Summers first!.. ^_^

One Day

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One_Day_(2011_film) One Day   is a film directed by   Lone Scherfig . It was adapted by   David Nicholls   from his 2009   novel of the same name . It stars   Anne Hathaway   and   Jim Sturgess.  Focus Features   released the film theatrically in August 2011. This is definitely not a movie review. I don’t want to check on the technicalities of the movie and be a critic, let the expert to their job on that because I know I’m not good at it. I just want to focus on the story itself, how it made me feel during and after watching it. What a sad movie!.. haaays .. but a good one. I’m just so sad that it took them years to finally realize that they are meant for each other. I regret for those times passed and missed opportunities for them, too many times that are wasted, times that they should be enjoying each other’s company and savoring every moments of them together. And they have just too little ...

an ending called forever

It was 2008 when the film Twilight first hit the big screen. I could still remember I don’t even have a slightest idea about the movie nor the book when I watched it. I was in a friend’s house that time when they decided to watch that movie. The first time I watched it, I was totally hooked up with the story. I was intrigued and excited to know more about the whole series. From then on, I started waiting impatiently like any other twilight fans for the next sequels. I also started reading the novel itself from book 1: Twilight up to the last book Breaking Dawn. I tried to collect the complete series but I failed because I was also collecting some other books that time. The only book I bought for my own collection was the Eclipse and the rest was read thru e-books. I was never disappointed from the very start with the film adaptation of the novel which is the most common problem or challenge of film adaptations of novels due to great comparison of some readers and critics, maybe b...

Young at Heart! Not by age!.. :P

I think everyone is excited on their own birthdays. Me?.. I guess not! I don’t know maybe it’s because of the “age” thing and expenses to be made, because when you’re all grown up, it’s the other way around it’s not you who is being treated, it’s you who’s going to treat those people around that are close to you, that includes family and friends/work colleagues. Imagine how much will that cost. Hehehe .. It’s just me being thrifty because of the goals I made this last quarter of the year. By the way, I am turning 27 this coming 29 th of November, just a few days to go. Whew! I’m a little pressured somehow. I don’t know!.. 27 and I still can’t believe it. Hehehe .. I guess, I always feel young all these years. Anyway, during my birthday I usually think of how does my last year passed. Reminiscing all the things I’ve done. Thinking and looking forward to another year GOD has given to me. I also noticed that during my birthday I am getting a little dramatic and emotional....

oh no!.. skin allergy attack again!..

I was reading a blog when suddenly I felt something itchy all over my skin and I can’t stop myself from scratching it. Then I realized it’s all because of the “ tuyo” or dried fish I‘ve eaten a while ago. haaaayss… It’s been like years since the last time I ate “ tuyo”. I saw it in the frying pan when I arrived at home. The smell was so tempting that I really wanted to eat immediately the moment I took the lid of the pan to check what’s inside. Plus I found some sliced tomatoes dip in spicy soy sauce. Oh my gosh!.. Then that’s it I gave in. I ate a little, just one piece of it. After an hour or so, that’s when I felt that itchiness. I thought it’s because of my bed sheet that I haven’t changed yet for a week now but when I went to the bathroom, I was shocked to see those reddish skin rashes all over my skin. :( As far as I remembered, the last time I have skin allergy was during my college days when I ate something malansa like fish, seafoods, chicken and egg or during cold...

Team Leo-April Team Building

My Skill 2 Family – Team Leo-April  Team Building Smooth Escape Garden Resort – Binangonan, Rizal Whew!.. I almost missed this one. Thanks to my friends who insisted me to come along despite of my hesitation. We had our team building last Saturday night on the very same day I had my 1 st day menstrual period. How cool is that?! thanks to having dysmenorrhea during 1 st days, it sucks!! Anyway, that morning I texted right away my friends that I won’t be able to come in our team building due to that reason but they insisted me to still go. Despite of not feeling well that day, I ended up going there with them and I’m glad I did. I just brought some medicines and sanitary napkins. Although, there are some few moments I felt menstrual cramps, I still managed to enjoy the whole night despite of activity limitations like I won’t be able to swim with them in the pool. I chose to enjoy that night instead of staying in my bed at home. ^_^

can't you see?..

“Can’t you see? This all a big mistake, I should try and walk away but I need someone to hold me. And I know there’s no way that this can last. Still I know that if you ask me to I know I would stay tonight, just for tonight.”

another joy of the family

He came in our family in a not-so-good circumstances, he is the son of my 21 year old brother. It happened that we just learned about his existence at the time that his mother was going to gave birth to him. Meaning, unexpected! His birth had caused so much drama and dilemma to our family. However, after some time everything is alright now. I didn’t expect that all the pains will heal as fast as that, considering our situation that time and for whatever happened in the past in our family. Thanks GOD! GOD is really good!.. :D Now, he’s like an angel to us. He brought joy to the family especially to my parents. WELCOME TO THE FAMILY JHAY MACK AMPATIN!!.. ^_^
