My First Day Officially Off School!

Hello dearest Blogspot! Although I have been away blogging elsewhere, I still love you. You are still my Original Haven. I have been off blogging at Tumblr since it is very accessible, easy to use, and it fits my "busy" days. I can just drop in tidbits of rants and stuff. So there.

It's summer now, for a few days at least. I think in two weeks, enrollment for summer classes will begin. I've thought a lot about how my summer will be. 

• Summer classes (obligatory)
• Attend and sit-in in classes
• Exercise
• Get in touch with art once more
• Apply for a summer job (If my summer class schedule permits it)
• Go to the beach (obligatory with pleasure)
• Save up! Save, save, save!
• Have more freelance work done
• Hong Kong!

These are just plans, and it could change. Don't condemn me if I don't get to do them all, okay? 

Today I slept late, around 3am, but that's not new though. I got up for lunch and watched television in my sister's room until I fell asleep. I woke up around 3pm and had bread and coffee. What do you think? Productive start? Haha. Seriously, I want to exercise soon. Recently I've been weighing myself and the last time I checked I'm at 103lbs. I don't remember going over 100! Maybe there were times in  high school, but I don't remember it at all. 

My new school has got me busy. I've been adjusting and whatnot. Although there were a few subjects I didn't have to attend because I've already taken them up, and although most of my classes (after midterms) were half day, I still felt pretty beaten up at the end of the day. Must be too much rest, yes? But I still suck at time management, always been a problem I haven't really fixed. Also, driving really tires me so much now especially when it's traffic! Otherwise, it's pretty okay. I've also loved driving alone, I enjoy the solitude, if you can call it that. 

Three years! Elwin and I celebrated our third anniversary two days ago. I thought we'd skip the whole celebration thing since he had classes up until 8:30pm. I was home and dressed in my house clothes already when he called after his classes, he said he was on his way and that we had to celebrate somehow. We ate at AA's. It wasn't fancy, but I still enjoyed it. We walked from my house to AA's and walked back after we had our dinner date. He also gave me a chocolate! :D Thank you Lord for the three years. 

My batch mates will be graduating soon, but I have fixed my feelings on that. This is the situation I'm in right now and I've learned to accept it. I'm in fact happy, I've learned more than I could have in my old school and I get to go to the same school as Elwin! I do miss my friends from the old school, but I'll still get to see them. ;)

The whole flying off to America thing, it's a blur. I may or may not be flying off this year. I did tell my mom and dad if we could wait until I graduate. I REALLY WANT TO GRADUATE BEFORE I LEAVE. They said we'll see. 

My sister will be in college soon, she's graduating on the 26th of March. Would have been lovely if we graduated together, but then again, that's not going to happen and I'm glad my parents understand. :)  

This blog entry was just jumping from topic to topic. I was never really good with organizing my thoughts, I know that and that's just how it is. Haha. But it's my blog space and it's been a while. I'm home, once again. :D 

Thank you Lord for being faithful to me this whole semester. You are faithful even if I am not. Amen! Thank you for getting me, Elwin, my sister, and friends through. Elwin and the others still have until next week with their defenses and whatnots, but I thank you Lord in advance. :) 

Let your will be done.

I SAY #1

pay no mind to those who back stab you and gossip about you, remember: they have NOTHING that you want. (:

 You probably have something they envy. ;)

No Offense

When people go "no offense", they're actually about to say something offensive. If not that, they already DID say something offensive. Just something I'm thinking of early in the morning. It's nearly 6am and I'm still about to sleep. Elwin will not be happy about this, as much as my mom and dad won't be happy about it either. :p time to wait for my brain to shut off. Bye.

Reminded Me of Dad and Taxis

This sooo reminds me of dad and the decisions he makes, like with the taxis we had. He sold our taxis and the franchises before the business completely crashed. Maintaining the old taxis did cause him a lot of time, stress, and money. I was able to write an essay about my dad for Elwin's Techpreneurship class (was it?). Of course, I volunteered for it, but he didn't expect I was serious about it. At least I can return the favors right? It's a give and take thing, two way street, that's just how it should work.

This also reminds me of how I should have transferred school earlier, but better late than never right? :p

RED Mobile huh?

POST TAKEN FROM: private multiply account 

So a competitor to SUN Cellular Network has finally risen huh?  About time! Haha! What better way to get rid of the excess users than have them transfer to other networks, I am speaking as a user of the said network.  Pretty soon the cell users' population will be well distributed.  :)

I think the RED Mobile will be crowded at first.  The SIM that only costs 39php, it's new, has a cool name, and it's under smart.  Smart having better signal, covering a wider range of area, we probably can expect about the same performance on signal for this new network.

The weird part though that I don't get is why they made it to only fit 3G phones?  Tsk tsk.  So those without 3G phones will not be able to avail of there services.  Anyhoo, as for me, I think I'd like to give this network a try. :)  

Plus, Elwin just text messaged me about it.  He said that we should try switching to RED Mobile. :D  That's why I got into browsing about it in the first place.  Prior to him mentioning it to ne, I didn't hear a word about it. haha! 

We cellphone users now have a lot of options to choose from:
Globe,  Touch Mobile, Smart, Talk & Text, Addict Mobile (is this a network? not sure.),  any other networks I fogot to mention?  And the new entrant to compete with the existing networks (most especially with the SUN Network) --- the new RED Mobile!  


Here's what I got off the internet while I was browsing:

Red Mobile website officially launched

Published by: yuga under: Mobile , Telecoms.
posted: November 22nd, 2008

The new Red Mobile website has been launched and we finally have the details of the service.
Based on initial impressions, the Red Mobile service looks like it’s aimed to compete with Sun Cellular.
Some key offerings below:

• Php0.50 per minute call rate between Red Mobile to Red Mobile SIM.
• SIM card is sold at Php39 each. Each SIM is pre-loaded with Php10 or an equivalent of 20 minutes of RM-RM calls.
• 3G browsing rates is P7.50 for every 15 mins or an equivalent Php30 per hour.
• Php10 minimum load denomination.

Red Mobile SIM must be used with a 3G capable handset. Likewise, service is limited to areas where there are 3G signals. This is because CURE has an NTC license for a 3G band so they cannot operate outside of their frequency.
This will cover all cities in the country as well as major regions. It might not work if you’re in a far-away island or in mountainous regions. You will have to consult Red Mobile support for availability of their service.
Disclosure: Red Mobile is an advertiser on this blog and several other blogs I author.

thoughts for your thoughts...


When one likes someone, does the other person (the person you like) have the right to know?
Is the right for the person being crushed on existent at all?

If only we go back to being children, in the sense that we are honest.
Each of us freely saying and showing to others what and how we truly feel.
It is sad how a crush only remains as a crush, it will indeed be heart-crushing.
There are those who love, love even when the love they give is not reciprocated.
Not because the other does not love at all, simply because they are unaware,
or perhaps you are just not too obvious with how you feel.

To the crushee, this "hidden agenda" of yours may go unnoticed, or it may even be just annoying to them.
You may act in certain ways that doesn't makes sense to the crushee since they do not know how the
crusher is feeling.

There is a sad reality in this whole "Crush" thing that usually goes unnoticed.
There are those crushes that will always stay in your heart, engraved, and forever unmoved.
The crusher is left with wondering what could have been, if only.  Yes, if only.
And to the crushee, all these will make no sense, all these makes no difference.
Maybe the crushee has no idea at all what it was about the crusher, him/her acting the way he/she did.
Or maybe the crushee too, will forever wonder what might have happened if only the truth was told.
Maybe he/she (most likely she) was just waiting... waiting for something to be said.
Would it have been the two them together?  Would it have been that they'll be in a wonderful relationship?
Yes, because what if the crushee is also crushing on the crush!
omG! What have you guys done?!!

Leaving things in silence, unspoken, unmoved, and left behind.
All that's left for both of you is to wonder.
Wondering is all you'll have, and sadly, maybe even some regret.
This "wondering" might haunt you up to the day that you are with another,
maybe up to when you are married and with kids already.
You will just wonder.
Could it have been the crushee just needed someone to help him/her realize?
Could it have been the crusher and the crushee together?
Could it have been them if only one of them would have said something sooner? 

We can only wonder.  No one can really tell...

Oh well, that's life~
