Id Rather - Jasmine Trias

My birthday's over...

I would like to thank the people who greeted me on my birthday. Yes it was my birthday yesterday and I am now 25! Should I be happy or not? Hehe. It was surprising to check on my friendster account with greeting comments waiting for approval from my friends and for those friends and acquaintances whom I did not expect to greet me. Thanks a lot guys!

Anyways, I woke up this morning gloomy, felt like an ordinary day. Though my parents greeted me and asked me what I want for my birthday. Dinner? Or a house celebration perhaps? But these I declined. Hmm...I wasn't in the mood for a celebration and so I told them I just wanted to unwind. And so I did!

My boyfriend and I went to SM and ate our dinner at Antonio's, then a parfait at Igloo. Before heading home, we dropped by at Cats & Dogs for a videoke. Hayz. I don't want to sing but he kept on insisting, good thing it's just the two of us so it's not that embarrassing. But still, I sang out of tune and almost lost my voice from singing. Haha. Obviously, I just wanted to spend this day with him.

A NIKE shirt from Arven

Still from Arven. Isn't he sweet? *ROFL.

Even though it was my birthday, I was still kinda sad knowing that I didn't received the sign I asked of Him. *Sob. On the other hand, I just wished that my birthday wishes will be granted, that will really make me happy.

The Twilight Date

Edward: "And so the lion fell in love with the lamb…"
Bella: "What a stupid lamb."
Edward: "What a sick, masochistic lion."

Earlier this morning, I was planning to watch Twilight at NCCC mall so I have to call them up to confirm the movie schedule. Now the problem would be, who would accompany me? My brother did asked me the night before to watch it with him but he was nowhere in sight this morning. He has classes to attend to. And since my boyfriend and I had a misunderstanding last night so I didn't dare to text him. Good thing he did and I asked him to watch Twilight with me! Haha. It was basically a love story between a mortal and an immortal. Didn't even find the movie extraordinary. Better listen to their lines to get the mushy details. Hehe. So now, I'm quoting the lines from the book that I got online. Feel free to share your favorite Twilight quotes.

Bella: "I love you. I will always love you, no matter what happens now."

Discovering Paying Post

While blog hopping, I came to discover this new blog advertising network called, Paying Post, and decided to sign up. Basically, it works like PPP. So it wouldn't be as complicated as you may think. They also have an affiliate program where you could be compensated for your referrals. Why not join now and discover it yourself too?

Acnes Alert

After having my clinical training, many people have commented that I have pimples on my face. Huhu. So I said it might be caused by stress. As observed, every time that I am about to finish my clinical training, zits pop out too. Hmm. So I'm trying my best to take care of my skin though sometimes I get too lazy to pamper my self. Hayz. And I think I need an effective acne scar treatment to help me get rid of these before my friend's wedding day.

Buying a Flat Screen

My father and I talked about purchasing a flat screen for our living room. Our current TV has been nearly ten years or more with us but still in good condition. Now we're having doubts if it's a good thing. Haha. So I suggested that we placed the current TV in the kitchen and buy a new one for our living room. But the problem would now be the tv stands. We need one for the kitchen and one for the living room. Haayz.

GS Lying In and OB-Gyne Clinic

Our whole family together with our other relatives all flocked at Suaybaguio's Residence in Tagum City to celebrate the Feast of Christ the King and at the same time, witnessed the opening of my Auntie's Maternity Clinic.

Have stayed in my Auntie's house for 3 months and witnessed the construction of the said clinic. And I was surprised to see the beautiful outcome of it. Congratulations!!!

Spectacles for me

In a few more days, I will be celebrating my 25th birthday! Yay! I'm getting older. Haha. I'm not really fond of celebrating my birthday for several years now nor receiving gifts. But it is appreciated if you are giving me the $ 8 Complete Rx Eyeglasses. Especially if it's from one of The popular online eyeglasses shop. The photo below is my favorite eyeglasses, it's one of the selections of the Holiday Glass Frames From Zenni Optical.

New themes for GMAIL

You now have the freedom to change the theme of your GMAIL account with their new themes available to choose from. Just recently changed mine to "shiny". How about yours?

Tropical

Living in a tropical country, we don't expect a white Christmas so we don't get to try on snowmobiles. If ever there is a snow here, I think my father will be selling snowmobile parts in our shop too. Hehe. Anyway, I have seen the Tagum City's giant Christmas tree the other night. I think that was the night they formally lighted that tree and with that it caused heavy traffic within the metro. As for now, I have to get a rest since I'm feeling dizzy. Will try to blog this afternoon.

Flash drive missing

Went to my boyfriend's house yesterday and I brought my USB compact flash drive with me. I was thinking of copying some music files from his desktop. I remember putting it inside my little purse so I won't forget it. When I reached home, my brother was asking for the flash drive so he can save some of his documents in it. Told him it's inside my purse. But there's no flash drive insight. Huhu. Where could it be?

Laundry

Once a week, we do our laundry care of my cousin, Kring. So for the remaining days of the week, you can expect to see a full laundry hamper. Hehe. Once in awhile, I also help in doing the laundry. But don't expect I'll help if there is no washing machine available. Haha. Can't tolerate to do the laundry by hand since my fingers are kinda sensitive. Nyahaha.

Feeling Dizzy...

Just this morning upon waking up, my mom informed me that there is an ongoing free immunization against Filariasis in our village. And because it's an oral medication, full appetite is recommended. I then ate my breakfast and assisted JC to eat his meal too. We then headed to the court and avail of our immunization.

Right now, I feel dizzy. Hmm...it must be one of the side effects of the medications.

Gift Giving

Christmas time is fast approaching. Are you done with your Christmas shopping? Better do so and avoid the Christmas rush.

Just last week, I think, "The Sweet Life" in Qtv featured the popular things to buy for Christmas presents. Too bad I wasn't able to watch it. And aside from that they had also featured those usual Christmas gifts that is a no-no to give this time. I wonder what are those.

I'm not fond of giving Christmas presents. Haha. Though I think, I'll make an exception this time. I was thinking of buying one for Arven but I don't want to disclose it here. It's a surprise! Wee! I shouldn't have given you a hint since he's not aware that I'll be giving him a present. Haha. I just hope he won't read this.

On another note, if you are still looking for presents to give this Christmas, I suggest you buy one of the Holiday frames of Zenni Optical. They have a wonderful selection of holiday frames available. And among of their frames, this item caught my attention...


...it's stylish, simple and lightweight. You'll find a lot of selections on their site and I want you to check it out.

I'm Broke

Haayz, I have a postpaid line due and right now, I'm starting to worry on where to get some moolah for it. Unfortunately, I only have very limited assignments this time. Where could I possibly earn money to pay for my bill.? Huhu. On the brighter side, I decided to buy a prepaid sim for my phone and rest my postpaid line for a number months until I pay all my outstanding balance. Hehe.

Mobile Music

A lot of gadgets are being introduced nowadays in the market. Among these are MP3 players. I got one mp3 player on hand, but I am thinking of purchasing another one since my mp3 only has limited memory and I cannot download a number of music in it unless I delete some of the files. It's a tedious work, you know! Hehe. Unfortunately, I don't have one particular model in mind right now. *Bleh.

Cat Supplies

I've been thinking lately that I should get a cat for myself. Cat's don't grow big like dogs so they don't tend to occupy much space in the house. Plus, I like the fact that they're furry and cuddly. They like to scratch and play and they're are cute! Hehe. With this in mind, I am also trying to plan on what cat supplies to purchase soon 'coz they deserve to be pampered.

Christmas is Near

I can feel the cold Christmas breeze. Truly, Christmas is fast approaching. By this time, I can hear Christmas carols being aired over various radio stations as well as in the malls. I can definitely feel the Christmas spirit especially seeing those colorful Christmas decors and lightings around the city. Now is also the time for us to decorate our home. Lol.

Understanding a Sagi Woman

This is a repost from Gleez.

A tall slim and graceful woman who walked proudly like she is walking in a beauty pageant competition. If she slips or nearly falls, she will nicely covered it up and continue with her graceful and impressive walking step. She knows how to use make up to enhance her beauty. She looks at the world positively, so her face always seem so happy. She will not get up set easily.

Self confident woman who belief in her own style. She will not follow fashion, but standing in between simplicity and too modern. She is a very open person, sometimes can be too blunt. She is an honest person and never try to cause troubles for any one. She likes to say something that you do not want to hear and yet she can say something so pleasing at the same time. Example she may say "I wish you could make more money, so you could afford better cloth, but anyway it is better this way. If you make more money you could be thinking of money too much and become greedy". She can say such thing and make you wonder if you should get up set or love her more.

She is also a free spirit and does not like to stay home. She likes to be protected, but not to give her orders. She has no respect to a weak man. If she try to over powered you, then you have to calm her down and try to control her to be in a limit by doing the same thing too. She will listen if she respect you. She likes to be herself and like her guy to be himself. She is a no nonsense woman, so you will not hear she says " Guess what I will do next", or "Guess what I am thinking" because she always say what she is thinking out loud like a guy. If you do not understand her in this matter, you could easily break up with her. She sees problems in her love life as another funny story.

She is clumsy and it is in her nature. You may think it is cute, but for some neat guys this could be so unbearable. She is very friendly, so she can easily turn her enemy to be her friends. She has good taste in fine cloths, good food, first class and first services. Even a poor woman in this Zodiac will struggle to afford such good taste. She could spent lots of money as if she can not understand how difficult it is to make money. If you think of let her borrow money, think again.

She is a paranoid. If she thinks you like her, she may already think about getting marry and lost her freedom and so on and on. A jolly woman who loves sports. She is an ordinary woman who could dress like a tomboy. She has more guy friends and sometimes could act like one of a guy. She does not care about rumors, so she can get home very late and couldn't careless what her neighbor will gossip about her. She thinks either good or bad, you will know it yourself , so you should not bother what people think.

Her wit and innocent look are her charms. She is often hurts from love, but never afraid to look for a new one as if she is singing "Do that to me one more time". She likes going straight and being straight forward. She will not go around to get what she wants, or beat around the bush just to say something. If you meet her and tell her straight what you think, she will admire you.

SMILING is my remedy

Research says smiling is one way of releasing your endorphins and one way of relieving stress. It's also one way of being positive. I guess there's some truth in it.

Now, I manage to wear a smile on my face again and saw the difference it made in my life. Problems and heartaches are still there but somehow I learn to let go of everything in a short span of time and just smile. It might not helped solve them but it helped me loosen up. I hope I can forever paint a smile on my face even in tough times.

So learn to smile.

SMILE...no one knows what you're up to. c",)

Feels Better...

I feel better than these previous days. It was one painful experience but a lot of lessons learned. In some way, I didn't regret encountering all these things. It made me learn a lot. I realized that it wasn't hard to move on. I am even in the stage of acceptance in my grieving process when a reconciliation took place. We agreed that we deserve a second chance and try to work it out again.

i love you goodbye...

I was such a jerk...
Now I have to pay the price of seeing you go...
I want you back but you're now out of reach...

flight of ideas

Being in my not so good state this time, my friend and I managed to talk about my problem. I only have few good friends to confide my problems with and this friend of mine is one of them. It's relieving to be able to air out what's bugging you deep inside to someone who will listen to your angst without judging your weaknesses but instead accepting and understanding it and helping you stand back to your feet. Serious talks were starting to get deep not until my friend jokingly told me I need to have a home owner insurance to keep me secure in the future for any possibilities. Yikes! Flight of ideas, eh?!

hurting inside

Hurting someone I love is the worst feeling I have...

the dilemma...

I'm now facing the consequences of my action...
Hoping that time will heal all wounds and heartaches...
Leaving a place for reconciliation...

Culmination Day!

Pamie and I

My 3 months training has finally come to an end. And as for celebrating this event, we just had our culmination program last Friday. An inspirational talk was given by our Big Boss, Dr. Romulo Busuego, the chief of hospital. And a festive lunch brought to us by Chowking. Awts.

I had undergone a lot of trainings for these past few years and I could say, this one will indeed mark as an extraordinary training...it's one hell of a rollercoaster ride. Unexpected surprises and moments from this training will truly be worth a keep. Nyahaha...

Halloween

Belated Happy Halloween to you guys! How was your night? Been a couch potato since I arrived home last night, I just hit the sofa and munched on some chips while watching the "tuxedo". I soo love the comfort of our home, nyahaha. I'm now back to my usual self, the lazy gal that I am. Haayz, been thinking of some worthwhile activities to do next week. What should it be? Hmm...
