like a little girl enchanted

please forgive me if i can't stop talking about my last weekend adventures, i just cant help it, i was like a little girl enchanted by this place and couldn't bear to leave. I'll be back soon.

ola, i'm done with another class report so i gave my self a little leeway and currently i'm reading this book.

" It is a story about the extraordinary love story of clare and henry who met when clare was 6 and henry was 36 and were married when clare was 22 and henry 30. It is impossible but true, henry suffers from a rare condition where his genetic clock periodically resets and he finds himself pulled suddenly into his past or future. In the face of this force they can neither prevent nor control. henry and clare's struggle to lead a normal lives both intensely moving and entirely unforgettable."

it is enchanting too, cant put this down so i got to go. xoxo

While i'm away

Ola! It's nice to be back, hopefully, be back on my regular programming, lol.

What have i been doing? I been busy with work and school papers, the graduate school is really getting into my nerves, whew! I'm done with my two reports and there are more to come before the end of the semester, im enjoying it though, lol.

Anyhow, i been using the murakami diary that tessah gave me, i realized what sheng said that she want to do justice on the paper, yeah otherwise it will defeat its purpose hehehe. And I just finished my first murakami book, After Dark, my next would be Norvweigan Wood.

Speaking of books, this bookends, i got it for only P100 from the garage sale in someone's multiply account, i so love it, i know, sugar is still green with envy up to now, lol.


I also got this black mug with Saigon logo and the Feng Shui book, sad i did'nt the green candler holder, darn!

Anyway, just dropped by for a quick post, that would be all for now, i'll visit you soon. Thanks everyone for the visit. Miss you all.

how is everybody doing?

I hope you guys had a wonderful and merry Christmas.

We stayed home because relatives and friends came to visit. As much as I want to enjoy the holidays, I can't, i have a lot of school papers to do and it tied me up and believe me i not done yet with my gift list (so pathetic).

Anyways, these gifts made me smile wide, the givers knew exactly what i needed.

hunkies and a bag hanger came from my dear sister, she's been complaining about my bags because they are all over my place and everytime i brought home a new bag, she's like: again?? (eyes rolling). Don't worry sis, i'll fix that tomorrow, you'll see, mwah.

yay, a new addition to my bag collection and my latest favorite, perfect for school, thanks sugar, you really knew what i want:)

this is a personalized magnetic (pin?) also from my officemate, tweety... mwahh

and last but definitely not the least is this bracelet made by my cousin. Thanks ganda.

Okey, the next picture is not Christmas related, while i was looking for my earrings a while a go, i saw this wedding garter instead. This is my friend's garter on her wedding eight months ago, i catched the bouquet and forgot to return this garter, actually i'm not really sure if i need this to return and i'm sure she forgot it too, but i think she need this as a souvenir, im really not sure, anyway i'll ask her.

Enough for this, i really need to drag my self and start the school papers, anyone willing to help me? lol.

Enjoy the rest of the holiday and have a prosperous new year everyone. ciao

thank GOD we're safe

I'm home and safe but my knees are still shaking. We had a car accident 4 hours ago. We came from school (at UP), my classmate/new found friend offered us (our other friends) a lift, we were turning right slowly somewhere in Quezon city circle, signal light turned on, suddenly a jeep came fast behind us and hit the headlight on the right side. I was sitting in front, good thing i'm wearing a seatbelt (which i usually forget to put on), Thank good LOrd we are all okey, even the jeepney passengers. I don't wanna go into detail, what's important is we are all safe. It was my first that's why i'm abit frightened.

Thanks to MMDA staff, Aline Borbon who helped us and volunteered to drive us home. Mabuhay ka!

Drive safely everyone! Be safe connie.

of leisure and responsibility

Yay! tomorrow is holiday and i'm looking forward to it and the back-to-back-to-back concert of Side-A, MYMP and Freestyle, opps i get too excited. I have a bunch of school papers to read and to report and Harry Potter and the Half blood prince in my plate, so this weekend is a mixture of leisure and responsibility, lol.

I was thinking of re-arranging my bedroom today but i need to consult first Lilian Too (for a good feng shui), yes i'm a feng shui believer, but of course i don't base my life in it, i just consult some and so far it worked for me. In general 2008 is a good year for me, almost everything fall into place but for one and that is what im working right now and i have a strong feeling that the Good Lord will grant me that wish soon (sounds optimistic) hah, i'll keep my fingers crossed)

I have found another shirt to add in my comfort shirts collection, i saw this in tiendesitas last thursday and i can;t resist its charm.


We put our Christmas Tree up yesterday but we still need to buy other decors to add on it.



Have you set up your Christmas Tree? Enjoy the rest of your weekend everyone.

paper and bunches of papers

Yesterday was our second meeting (my classes) and we are already/slowly drowning in paperwork but the good thing is (at least) they gave the topics in advance, so i can start working on the first research paper. Graduate school is really far different from my undergrad, when i was i college, the teacher dominates the class, in graduate school it's the students dominates the class, the professors are there to guide you. it's more of collaborative learning, sharing experience, exchanging ideas and a mountain of papers to do. The thought of research and term papers made me sick (lol), suddenly i felt stress slowly overcome me and as a result - i turned to my stress reliever, shopping and i hate it.

I need to manage my time for work and school, whew! i never imagine that it would be this tedious.. hmmm, looks like someone is gonna spend Christmas vacation doing paperwork. xoxo.

In pursuit of happiness

It's been a decade since i left college and took the road to the real big/small world, i didn't end up working in media and im not surprised because my heart was never in it. I obtained a masscomm degree, obviously i want to be a newscaster (that was a dream of a young girl in me). Early in college i realized that I want to be a psychologist/psychiatrist/shrink whatever anyone wanna call it. I planned to shift my course but since i already have circle of friends in mass comm and i dont wanna start over again, i dropped the idea and pursue what i have started. There are regrets though but i am grateful for the lessons i learned and friendship i made. But you can never put on the back burner what your heart's desire. I turned down an employment offer from one of the tv networks here (don't get me wrong, it wasn't a big deal) and landed in the real corporate world instead (sometimes i wonder what i become if i accepted the job?) There's an intense need to pursue what i like, if not, something related or close to it. Slowly my job leads me to the door but it was never easy, there are obstacles, too many cross roads, i learned a whole lot of things from people i met along the journey and there are more to learn. Now i am working as an HR generalist, at least it is close to what i want to become and i'm happy. Next month i'm going back to school. I'm aiming to have a thorough knowledge in the field of human resources management . I'm excited, i want to know how it is different from my happy-go-lucky college days, i want to know how matured i become or did i mature at all? lol.

To sum it up, i am happy with what is going on with my life (there are bad times but bearable. ) Everything falls into place except for one, but im very positive about it, i know it will be granted soon, i'm wishing on the same star. I'll keep my fingers cross.

"Happiness is emotion in which one experiences feelings ranging from contentment and satisfaction to bliss and intense joy." Hmm, thank you WikiPedia
