Runaway
by THE CORRS

Say it's true, there's nothing like me and you 
Not alone, tell me you feel it too 
And I would runaway 
I would runaway, yeah 
I would runaway 
I would runaway with you

Cause I have fallen in love 
With you, no never have 
I'm never gonna stop falling in love, with you 

Close the door, lay down upon the floor 
And by candlelight, make love to me through the night 
Cause I have runaway

I have runaway with you 

(Chorus) 

And I would runaway 
I would runaway, yeah 
I would runaway 
I would runaway with you

Follow me
by UNCLE KRACKER

* You don't know how you met me, you don't know why
You can't turn around and say goodbye
All you know is when I'm with you, I make you free
And swim through your veins like a fish in the sea
(I'm singing) 

** Follow me, everything is alright
I'll be the one to tuck you in at night
And if you want to leave, I can guarantee
You won't find nobody else like me

And I don't worry 'bout the ring you wear
'Cause as long as no one knows then nobody can care
You're feeling guilty and I'm well aware
But you don't look ashamed and baby I'm not scared

[Repeat **]
Won't give you money, I can't give you the sky
It's better off if you don't ask why 
I'm not the reason that you go astray and
We'll be alright if you don't ask me to stay

[Repeat **]
[Repeat *, **, **, **]

I love PUCCA!!



My first PUCCA Bag

7 years ago, I was captivated by this cute, little chinese character donned in red chinese suit holding two chopsticks and smilling with an eyes closed.  All I know then was that she is PUCCA. Well, actually I could only count on my fingers who collects and adores PUCCA.  She was not as popular as Hello Kitty, which most of the kids here loves to collect.

Who is she by the way? PUCCA is the cute, only daughter of Guh-Ryong Restaurant owners. This adorable chinese character loves zazangmyun so much. PUCCA finds GARU her Mr. Right. He fell for him, struck by the love at first sight. For PUCCA, GARU is the most handsome guy on earth!

Now, who's GARU? [asked anybody who reads this] Aside from being the love interest of PUCCA, he is also a ninja practicing martial arts, whose goal is to reestablish his family's honor following his father's footsteps. And the adventure of these two characters follows as PUCCA chases GARU most of the time.

Things to do this Summer


April is almost passing. Have you figured out ways to enjoy Summer?  

Read on...
[Note: You may have done doing some of these tips but it may be worth reading.]

On the beach/resorts..
  Never miss out on bringing fruits and lots of water [to stay hydrated] whenever you go swimming. Fruits like sliced pineapple, apples, banana and watermelon. Help retain your skin's moisture.

  Whenever my family or my friends goes to the beach, I see to it that I have everything in place. Thanks to my checklist! It includes the list of clothes for bathing, changing, essentials until the utensils that should be brought. And oh, a piece of advise. Don't ever forget to bring plastic bags for your wet clothes, leftover foods and trash [as they say, bring your garbage back]

  Have your camera batteries charged the night before for planned trip. You wouldn't want to miss out to capture each moment. But if the group makes an on-the-spot decision to go to the beach, bring along its camera charger.  

Outside home..
  Summer is an opportunity for some students to generate income. How?

Get a summer job. Municipalities or some establishments post summer job offering as early as January so if you have plans of making your summer productive, enlist yourself ahead of time and accomplish the required documents.  

If you want to manage your own time and got the skill of tutoring a kid, on gardening, babysitting, pet care and/or food and beverage services, why not advertise your service for a minimal fee? Have your friends or family members be your coordinator.  Spread out your calling cards and posters or use the power of texting.
  
At home..
  While most students feels miserable staying home counting their relatively small amount of money, they are left with no choice but to stay foot. 

Mission Organization. Try to arrange your stuffs. Clothes, shoes, books, CDs, school supplies, essentials. Spare your mom from cleaning your room this time. Believe me, she would even prepare your favorite snack once she sees your room clutter-free.

Check your email. Got an internet connection? Allot some time to check on your emails. Delete those unneeded files, empty your trash box and maximize the space of your inbox. 

Play board games. Give your cellphones and your thumb a time to rest this summer. Call in younger or older siblings and play your family's favorite board game. It's a perfect bonding for the whole family, enjoying life's simple pleasures. 

Movie Marathon. Now is the chance to open your box of movie collections again, whether its a DVD/VCD/VHS tapes. Make a list of movies you want to watch and arrange its cases in order so you'll know what to pick next. Invite your friends to come over and have the popcorn, chips and beverage ready.  

Write.  It may be a song, a poem, a letter or a composition.  Take a look around and find your inspiration.  Sometimes great songs comes in hum-ble beginnings.

Read. Were u given a book as a present? Try to open or continue reading its content since school books is having its vacation.  

Sort. Go over those piles of photocopies you have for the entire school year. Be aware it imposes risk of fire hazards. Separate the copies that stays and goes. Make sure you have the trash bin beside you to conserve time and energy. 

Kitchen companion. It's about time to help Mom in the kitchen. Offer your help and cook meals together. You can also find good recipes online. 

Be an entrepreneur. Invest on something profitable this Summer. What do people want? Something sweet, something cold, something thirst-quenching, something delicious. A lot can be done. You can sell ice candies, ice water, ice, softdrinks, juices or if you have the desire to earn bigger, sell halo-halo. Us at home, we continually sell ice water and ice and it helps us earn a bit, something for the electricity and water bill, while staying at home. Just don't forget to place a sign board outside your gate.

Actually, there are tons of things you can do this "summer" besides strolling to the mall, going out of town, nature tripping or camping. You can even add or make your own list. And remember this, do what makes you happy and enjoy every minute of it so by the time you go back to school this June and your teacher, your friend would ask, you could answer "I had a great summer", with a smile on your face.

Ladies and the Bags

Bags! Bags! Bags!
Bags are a must-have for every girls. Ladies. Women. Women-by-heart. Its their priced possession. Fulfills their simple pleasures. Its a necessity. Its a passion. Its fashion. Who could ever forget the line from the movie WHITE CHICK, running after the snatcher of the lead character's precious bag. "It's not just a bag. Its PRADA." says  in an girly way. 

Most of my bags are inexpensive. If I find it cute, classy, chic, if it pleases my eyes, nice to go with my clothes, I buy it. My sister and I sort of collected bags of our own. 

Why am I posting this? Recently, I've met someone who loves collecting designer bags.  She was my co-participant in our 1 whole week of Seminar under TESDA.  According to her, most of her bags are purchased and some were given as a gift by her Aunt abroad. They just happen to start buying and buying and ended up with more bags in the shelf they could have imagine. No, she's not boastful in telling us about this.  

Speaking of gifts, it made me remember of the NINE WEST shoulder bags given by our Aunt Betty last 2001.  I never knew that line of bag is known in the U.S. till I met Ma'am Jen.  

She related to us she intends to purchase a cabinet meant only for her cared for, luxurius bags. I guess she has collected more than what we are thinking.  

Anne and I stared at each other when she began sharing the lines of designer bags she has in her room. There's Burberry, Liz Claiborne, XoXo, Louis Vitton, Channel, GUCCI, Ralph Lauren and a lot more. I have seen some line of bags which were featured in Tyra, E! News and shows showcasting the collections of celebrities'  designer and very expensive bags.  From wristlets to purse to clutch to trolley bags. 


According to Ma'am Jen, these designer bags has longer shelf life. It's worth keeping for her. Maybe pricey yet trendy. Fashionably satisfying. Looks simple but you never know, its worth a weekly budget for a middle class family.

I made it!

Finally, the Assessment day has come.  Venue is at KORPHIL, Tibungco, Davao City. Planned to leave early but was able to ride a bus at 7:25am. Bus left the terminal 8:05am already. Oh boy, I'd be in Davao in 1 hour time.  Had to travel a long way to Tibungco after that, yes for another bus ride.

Anyways, when I get there at 10am, some of my co-participants were being interviewed already. Gosh, nerve-wracking part 2 [Read my April 15 post on long yet productive day]. Thank God, I'm already done with my TM assessment and the result was good. 

After Ma'am Annie, I was next..right after lunch time so that would be 1pm. Oh boy, my butterflies in the stomach started rambling. "I can do this. I will make it.", I told myself.  While waiting, I observed participants who look anxious than me.  I was calm, a bit hungry but calm. I never had lunch.

After a few hours of assessment/interview, I made it!! It felt sooo good when the Assessor informed me of the result, that I was competent.  It did boost my confidence, lifted up my spirit. Wow! Having me signed the documents and get hold of the C.A.R.S. completes my day. I'll go home with a smile on my face. 

Excited to spread the good news, texted my family and some of my friends the result.  They were all happy for me.  Still yet to inform Auntie Nel and Manong Louie of this good news. They'll know the moment I go online. 

I would definitely have a good night sleep tonight. Till my next post. Goodnight!!

back at GENSAN City

My friend Chem was supposed to go with me at GenSan this morning to file for Certification of our NC II (National Certificate II). But something came up, so I had to travel alone.  I spent almost an hour before I get to ride a bus. My friend Vanessa jested through text, that patience is a virtue.  So there, at 9:40am rode an airconditioned bus. Why aircon when there's a deluxe? What difference does it make? I'm more comfortable with the former than the latter. Besides, its only P10-15 difference and I easily get sweaty. Its all in the genes.

Everything VIOLET
I so love VIOLET.  It started last year when I was looking for a gift  for my sister [Papa asked me to buy one for her manita since I know what she wished for]. Anyways, one bag from all hanging ladies' bags caught my attention. Not actually expensive, but for me, its look was chic. 

It took me a while to decide whether to buy it or not. The saleslady kept on following me as I go on selecting other designs.  Will she like this one?  What if not? Oh no. These questions were running through my head. But, I've made my decision. I am not going...to...let anyone buy that bag but me, hehehe. So, I ask the lady if they have other stocks than the one displayed and she responded the one I am holding is the last one. "Ohhh..", I replied.  She smiled at me then yours truly headed to the paper bags section. 

Is it a Violet day? It started in the Bus Terminal when I saw a Lady in her Violet Shirt.  Saw another one in her Violet flip-flops. Then the girl's cellphone case  in the Eload-ing station is Violet. I actually have Violet nail polish with white tip.  I brought my Violet bag with some of my Violet stuffs including a Violet ballpen.                                                              

When I set foot at Gaisano Mall in GenSan, around 11:25am, I've seen a lot of people wearing Violet. Whenever I look, people are wearing Violet. Shirts, pants, headbands, eyeshadows, crystal bracelets, watches, anything. Any accessories. Don't know about their Andy's [no pun intended].

There, I meet up with Van. We had lunch at SPAZIO. Then strolled for a while and finally, went to TESDA Office.  Filing was a swift. TESDA personnel were accomodating, professional in dealing with people.  Looking forward to get hold of my NC II document. Having one is an achievement for me, in my Education, in my profession.  I'll be back next week.

Van and I went to Mix 'n Magic Snacks and Pastries store to buy pasalubong for Chem. Their cakes are satisfying and delectable.  I just didn't like the way one of its staff stares. She's not customer friendly [rolls eyes].   

Van had to go back to school and I had to go home, thank her for accompanying me. I strolled at KCC Mall to check out some best buys. Last stop was their Supermarket, as in very wide Supermarket with everything-you-need on it. I almost got lost looking for the Chips section. How I wish there's a Mall in Digos with a very, very wide selection of goods including vegetables and fruits for customer's convenience. A one stop all-in-one shop. How's that?

Ok, my dear friends. I won't stay up too late. Have to wake up early and be early in Davao City tomorrow for the continuation of our Assessment in TM-AM. Wish me luck.

Goodnight!

long yet productive day

"Home", uttered myself when i stepped on the premises of our place.  I missed everybody, my sister, our dogs, people back home.  As if I was away for days though its just quite a while. 

Our pets were in their houses already but they saw me entered the gate. 

Today is the last day of our 1 week TM-AM Seminar conducted by TESDA. Our Assessment day for the two methodology course, as well. Unfortunately, due to limited Assessors who will supposedly conduct the assessment for the day, only 4 of us were assessed. Three from UM-Matina and me from PITS, each from different trade areas.  Luckily, we all passed. Thank you to Engr. S.C., the person who assessed us. 

When asked to describe how did it go, i said "nerve-wracking". My co-participants patiently waited for their turns but since the time runs in a flash, they cut-off the time. The 2 assessors still has to go back to their work, training another batch of participants for the seminar. I'd say their job is very demanding, but as they say they love what they were doing and its their passion: TEACHING. Thumbs up to them. I admire their dedication. 

We were told the assessment will continue on the 22nd and 23rd at KORPHIL, somewhere in Tibungco. The group decided that we should all meet up infront of the ADDU. Text brigade na lang. I have learned a lot from these people. Was able to find new acquaintance, as well. 

As a photo fanatic, I won't end the day without pictures so our group has remembrance. Ma'am Cheery informed us they would post some videos in YOUTUBE..char! She has brought her Digicam on Day 5. I had all of them signed my manual and was flooded with signatories and contact informations, the future  assessors of TESDA. [chuckles]

Pass 4pm, we all parted ways. Ma'am Anne and I took a tricykad [a bicycle with a side car] hanggang kanto ng Magsaysay, her going to Joji Ilagan and I going to NCCC to meet up with Reina, I shared with her the good news while enjoying our snack. 

My day isn't over yet, I received a text from Lalai inviting me over for a dinner but the message was sent by Romy. So, I replied asking where she was and the occassion they were celebrating. Oh, I see it was a welcome back party of Marianne pala, Lalai's younger sister who worked overseas

After buying some home stuffs, we meet up with Ate Shine and Malyn. My friends way back in College. Haven't seen these fellas for a long time. Goodluck sa June NLE!! 

On our way to Ecoland Terminal, tawa kami ng tawa sa jeep. Si Malyn kasi eh, salamat ngapala sa libreng pamasahe ha? hehehe.  Gimingaw jud ko sa akong friends ai. 

Ate shine, reina and I took an airconditioned Holiday Bus going home. Sa pinakadulo kami at don din nilagay ang kahon ng electric fan na binili ni Reina sa NCCC. May pagkakaskasero din ang driver, para kaming nakasakay sa rollercoaster. Murag ning untol na uban pasahero sa kakusog sa iyang padagan ba. 

At one point, kami pud sa likod ning untol na pud apil ang box sa electric fan intawon natabunan kadali ang beauty ni Reina. Yes, mga friendster nadat ugan jud siya. Nakuyawan gud mi ni ate shine. May na lang nasalo namo wala nilahos sa bata na natulog sa ubos namo. Amaw jud nga driver ba, nangatawa na lang gud mi pagkahuman. 

Gisungog pa jud mi sa driver pag naog namo. Pagka na lang jud. Diretso na din ako kina Lalai, where dinner is waiting for me. hehehe.  I hold back for a while outside texting Lalai then went inside. So glad to see Romz. Greeted everybody pati na si Marianne. 

10pm..Thanks for the dinner, lai! Also, I had a good chat with my long time no see friend Romy, a College buddy. Mouli pa gud ni siya ug Padada taz duty pa siya ug 7am ugma. Ingatz kaayo!!
 
11pm..after watching CSI: NY, took a half bath.  How refreshing! 

There, turned on the PC, waited for the display to occur and began tapping the keyboards again relating my experiences the whole day.

1:30am as i check our wall clock. I just yawned. My body wants to rest na, as my mind follows. My eyes closed a bit, it's bye bye time for the meantime, dear friends.

goodnight!!
