Come With Me…

I made a new layout for my blog. All I can say about it is its PINK! No, I did not become girly, I just liked this picture of Gwen Stefani, and she was wearing pink, so that’s where I based the colors I used.

Leeds mentioned that I should continue podcasting. Hmm… I bet he was the only one who downloaded this. I am still looking for a software to use for podcasting coz I don’t have a recorder on my computer. I only used my digital camera to record this. It turned out okay, I guess. Anyone knows where I can download a free software for podcasting? Found it!

I am looking for affiliates for the website, Labyrinth – Thoughts. My requirement would be that it’s a hosted site and a domain, more on personal sites. Blogs may be accepted but it depends on all of us, the owners, of the website. If interested, please leave a comment and I will contact you.

I miss blogging in pure english, man! A few tagalog entries made me miss it. Kasi po, ayokong mabasa ng isang tao dyan na hindi nakakaintindi ng tagalog. Hahaha! So far, my days have been perfectly normal. Yesterday, I did my mom a favor by editing their family picture so she can give it to her mom, my grandma, on her birthday this coming Saturday. It’s my mom’s birthday today and I still don’t have anything to give her. I don’t have any money! Maybe I’d make a letter?

I just noticed that my Pinoy Top Blogs button says I am on the 198th spot, sometimes it’s 199, and now it’s on 195. Does that mean my blog is getting more popular? Well, it’s not my purpose to be popular, I just noticed it, that’s all. Notice I don’t join website contests? I did enter my personal site, once, luckily I won.

And I found Laarni yesterday. Most of the time she just goes *poof* Girl, you better tell me where you are! Hahaha!

And yep, Kellie Pickler was booted out on American Idol. I was hoping for Paris to go first, but heck, Kellie made me fall asleep when she was singing Unchained Melody. Boy! Was the melody really unchained! I am glad that Chris, Katherine and Elliot are still in the running.

My dad is coming home today from work. He works for NAPOCOR (Natl. Power Corp.). He’s currently based in Batangas, so he stays there for 5 days and then 5 days at home. We haven’t the chance to really talk about my schooling. With my brother’s and sister’s enrolment coming up, I dunno if I will be sponsored by my dad. My brother’s tuition is about Php25,000 and my sister’s is a little over Php30,000. If ever, mine would be about Php14,000 but I still need to pay my f’d up former school, MAPUA! Life!

I want to be positive with everything. Yes, I am a self-proclaimed pessimist, but I admit to see the brighter things in life. That keeps me going and helps me to strive for something better. I know that when things happen, it is either, I made the wrong choice, or it’s just not meant to be. I need a dose of my coffee! And you know what? I want to lose at least 5lbs. So I have stayed away from coffee for a week now. I changed my drink to tea. Oh, and I love my tea with coffeemate! Yum!

Am I close to my goal? NO! I have a long LONG way to go.

Come with me to my journey…

Tra La La.. LA LA!

So, papalapit ng papalapit ang pagdating ni Heinz dito sa Pinas. Baka sa ikatlong-linggo ng May nandito na sya. Medyo excited ako, pero in some ways, I am also a bit nervous. Ayoko naman mag-isip ng negative, pero, gusto kong ma-surprise na things will go smoothly. Nagtanungan kami kung worried daw ba ako sa pagdating nya. Hindi naman masyado! Tapos nagtanong din sya kung anong gagawin ko pag dumating na sya, sabi ko, Do I panic? We laughed. Then tanong ulit sya, paano naman pag aalis na ako? Sabi ko, Do I still panic? Medyo worried sya kasi daw six-hundred dollars lang ang pera nya pagdating dito. Sabi ko, we can go to great places for a cheaper price. Hopefully, we’d manage.

Medyo may slight dilemma lng ako about this. Gusto ng nanay ko may kasama akong chaperon! Oh my gah! So who among my sisters will be the lucky one? Stone-Paper-Scissors!

I finally finished the layout of our website. I am still asking the others for their opinions so we can publish it already. The website’s layout is dark and I hope that we will be successful in making it interactive.

I uploaded a 68 secs audio clip. If you want to find out what it is, go download! You think I should start Podcasting? Well, I am thinking about it.

Nakausap ko si Pao kanina. Ang tagal na naming hindi nag-uusap. I’ve met her once in person and I hope we can get together soon. I miss talking to her. We used to chat all night about a lot of things. I’ve learned so much from her. We call ourselves “Bitches” Hahaha! Lately, it’s Sarah that I’ve been talking to sa YM. It’s pretty cool that somehow we’re on the same boat.

And who here watches American Idol? I have been reading, Idol Rising. A blog that discusses anything and everything Idol. I came across this entry, and it makes me a bit sad because I want Elliot Yamin to win! Well, the odds are against him, I guess. I love Chris Daughtry and Katherine McPhee, too. But Mr. Yamin’s voice is the one I love the best. And I quote,

His voice is incredibly soulful and unique. It has an interesting texture: smooth and velvety but with hints of huskiness. How else to describe it? Let’s see, it’s like… well, rich creamy chocolate ice cream with soft marshmallows, but also with yummy brownie bits and choco chips in it, `ya know? And as if that weren’t enough, he has great skills (listen to Moody’s Mood for Love in particular). The key points to take note of: tone, pitch, phrasing, breath control. (Ask the music experts though, because I’m not that musical myself.) Mind you, he hasn’t had any formal training. — Imogen

If you are reading this and you are in the US, please do vote for The Funky White Boy, Elliot Yamin. Read this entry, it will make you love him more.

Anyway, please ignore my cam whoring today. I wanted to look sad, but it doesn’t look sad to me! I think I look more irritated, or… I dunno. YOU tell ME!

Lastly, I have a new blog tenant. CLICK CLICK!

I Might Go Insane!

Thanks to everyone who felt for me on my previous entry. My dad and I are okay, but still, we haven’t talked about my school yet. Sigh…

I have been thinking so hard lately. My friend offered to help me with my schooling, but with that offer comes a dilemma. I had to fly to the US for that. Another problem is that I don’t know what the arrangement would be. How do I tell my parents about it? Is there even a school there that is affordable? I don’t really know what I’ll do. It’s a good thing that Sarah and GP are there to talk to me. If not, I might go insane!

Lately, naiisip ko kasi, paano na kung pumunta na dito sa Pinas si Heinz? Kasi sinabi nya na gusto nya daw ako more than he should. Tapos gustong-gusto na daw nya pumunta dito, kung pinayagan lang daw sya ng boss nya this month. Hay… Sabi sa akin ni Sarah, Go! daw. But I am still hoping for the best. Ayoko namang maging negative parati. Kung hindi ako magte-take ng risk, walang mangyayari sa buhay ko. I mean, I am 23 years old, and I should be doing something important now. Kasi naman, napapakilig nya ako madalas. Kagabi nanood daw sya ng concert ng Emery, tapos nag-text sya sa akin at sinabing sana daw nandun ako. But the kilig factor is not all I am looking for.

I have been a bit busy lately because I am putting up a new website. I have been talking about this for some time now in my past entries, and finally we it’s a reality. So far, I have installed 3 blogs, a forum and a photo gallery. I am currently designing me and my friend’s blog. Yep, two of us will be writing on it. I don’t know if I’d be able to keep up two blogs. But I’ll have to manage, I guess. This is our blog.

Anyway, I have 3 hostees. Rachel, Aby and TJ. For now, I will only be hosting three. I plan to buy more space when I get the money. I was able to talk to TJ at YM last night. He’s a comical person. I like his loader on the website he showed me. I even asked him to teach me how to add a loader on my gallery.

Lastly, I decided to talk to my dad about my school. I think over the phone would be best for us now as our arena. I hope he lends me the money to pay for that stupid school, Mapua. Argh! :outrage: Soon, I hope I can put a really great entry where I am raving about a lot of good things that are happening to me. Soon…
