a while ago, i had my p.e. class for softball and we finished around 4.30pm and i decided to just walk home instead of riding the tricycle... and as i was walking i was listening to the radio and i was tuning to 89.9 which airs the show of Ryan Secrest (i think i misspelled his name) hihi so while i was listening, ryan was talking to miley cyrus' dad billy ray and he said something that made me realize and at the same time agree with him..
well, he said that he is too blessed to be stressed.. well, he is more blessed than i am but i know that i am also blessed in dofferent ways that i myself should be thankful about..and not only me but ALL of us are.. i mean, i honestly have a lot of assignments and problems right now but (this may sound cliche) i know that there truly are more blessing than problems in my life. i forgot where i heard this but someone told me that i should be thankful every second.. thankful for the air that God has provided for me.. and yoou know what, i sometimes do forget to give thanks and i am somehow ashamed of it... hay... and last night i did my devotion and i loved the verse used on the text.. Psalm 103.. try reading it, it sort of makes me happy and at the same time say, "oo nga noh"
un lng.. just want to share smething with you guys..
God bless..
Give thanks...

the solution to our problems...
so as what i have promised you from my last post, i would be telling you the solution or one of the solutions to our problems... it may sound cheesy but the solution to our problems is also a problem... i got this thought from my professor in Filipino, Mrs. Vergara...
She told us that the only way you can get over your problem is by having or looking at other people's problem. For example, if we are bothered or if we always complain about the food we eat, meaning, we don't like what we eat and sometimes complain on having the same meals everyday, then we should think about the people out there who cannot even have a single decent meal a day, those people who suffer because they don't have any food to intake. Another example is that, we often complain about our professors or teachers (i am guilty of this crime), that they don't do this, they don't do that or we ask, why her out of all the teachers in the world, why does he or she give us so many assignments... instead of thinking that way, we should then think about the people out on the streets who long for having books and enjoys studying but cannot afford to do so... hay... so i hope you got my point.. do you? oh do please leave a comment on my shoutbox.. thank you...
Lastly, be thankful, appreciate things around you cause it's hard to do so once they are gone or once it is gone.. live life in a way that you do regret on something cause what is a life it is almost perfectly lived?
God bless!
Be Safe!

long update...
hello.. I'm back.. it has once again been along time since i last posted something here and i will do my best right now to post more blogs for you guys to read and before i update you with what's happening in my life.. just promise me that you will leave comments because.. I'm sad, no one is leaving comments on my cbox.. :( please and thank you! :D
so! uhm...what can i tell you guys? well, i have been very busy with school even though it has just been my second week of the semester, i already have a lot of things to study about and some of the professors even have already given us projects to work on, especially in Theology, Ma'am Quintero already gave us the overview of all the things that we will cover this whole second semester as in also the ones that is going to be studied next year. We also have this trip to Tarlac for Theology which i am a bit excited about. But before i go on talking about school, i will start with my sem break which was weeks and weeks ago...
I went through my sembreak with a smile on my face, i got to do a lot of things that i have longed to do during the past first semester but did not have the time to do so :D uhm.. i got to arrange the things in my bookshelf and throw OR giveaway the things i don;t really like OR need anymore so my bookshelf right now is a bit arranged already. A bit, because, since school had started already it is starting to get messy again LOL... aside from that i got to finish the second book of Stephanie Meyer's series of Twilight which is "New Moon" (and i am currently at the third book, just a few more pages away to the last book :D) i also got to finish two dvd series of Chinese shows (Ming Zhong Chu Ding Wo Ai Ni and Wei Xiao Pasta) both of them which i like. Just for your information, one of the reason i watched thses shows is because i miss listening and reading pure chinese and i think that by watching it will help me not to forget things that i have studied before and i am so glad that i have not forgotten anything yet. :D the other reason was that it was for entertainment which is its primary use. hehe... uhm.. what else? uhm.. i also wake up every morning around 8.30 am and go to binondo to "pan tai zi", meaning, i do things that somehow are tasked to me by my mom and dad hehehe and during the afternoons i just become a couch potato and indulge myself with books or the television. oh! and i also got to finish reading Digital Fortress by Dan Brown and i am a bit glad cause at first i was just reading it for past time but in the end i got to finish it because i want to and it really is a great book, i recommend it for everyone :)
During the sembreak, i also got the chance to go out with some if my high school friends namely: Jeannine, Jenny, and Patricia. We went to the biggest mall in Asia and wathched one of the worst movie i got to watch in my whole life which is "The Strangers" starring Liv Tyler. I consider it as the worst movie because i did not like the story. It was supposed to be a horror/thriller/suspense movie but we tend to laugh and not bite our nails while the movie was being shown and to tell you the truth the only time we got scared was during the last 5 seconds of the film (excluding credits hehehe). After watching the movie we went to Timezone and also before pala, we went to Timezone and had a great time. We also went to power station to sing some karaokes and we had more fun there that during the movie hahaha... after that it was already around 8pm and we ate at Cowking (Wanton noodles + kangkong with bagoong for me hehehe) and in the end, Patricia went home alone and the three of us rode the taxi since it was already late and dangerous :)
Another event during the sembreak was of course, FAMILY REUNION! :) the day of our family reunion was the same day as my second older brother or di-hya's birthday (nov. 2) and since the venue of the reunion was at Wilson Street, we decided to just hang out at Greenhills. (FYI: papa was at "sua ting" or the province for a business trip) So it was just me, atsi, mama and birthday boy hahahahaha... uhmm... it was also durig this day that i got to get hold of my "Eclipse", because after the morning mass at St. Stephen's Parish my sister and i immediately, well not literally, we still ate our breakfast at McDonalds before immediately going to both RP and Sm Manila.. Rp for my book and SM Manila for atsi meeting a deadline of a store (hard to explain eh hehe) so after going to the malls in early morning, di-hya a.k.a. Birthday boy got to drive the car and drove all of us hehe to greenhills. We ate lunch at Burgoo's which is a good resto but i am still up for Gumbo hahaha.. The food there was great and whats good about it is that we et to eat five meaals for the price of three... wanna know how? well, you the card given to you by the waiters outside the resto whcih indicates that you get a free something when you eat to the amount of something or free something something when you buy two entree? you know that card? well, we got to have that card so that how we got five meals for the price of three meals hehehe... after lunch, i feel so blessed cause i get to watch another movie.. now it's "My Only ü" starring Toni Gonzaga and Vhong Navarro, the movie was not that bad actually it was great, diffrent but great! :) Then after the movie we went to "Hai Kang" which is located at Wilson St. which is also the venue of our family reunion. During the reunion, well, there really is nothin to tell you about just that it was also the last night of Unc Richard, Auntie Lea and Gelyn here in the Philippines... that's all hehehe....
I almost forgot to tell you about Nov. 1 which is one of the most important reason why we have or sembreak which is the All Saints Day. We went to gwa-kong earlier and not on the exact day i think it was during Oct. 26 and there was already a lot of people at Chinese Cemmentery i even got to bump into a UST schoolmate of mine there. ü On the other hand we went to A-ma and Angkong on the exact or real date, that is Nov. 1... ü uhm.. nothing really interesting to say just informing.. :)
so... wow.. i did not imagine that i got to do a lot of things during my 3-week long semestral break. (Enrollment was not included there but did happen during that pd. of time :))
*Movies i watched this past month:
-The Strangers
-My Only U
-High School Musical 3

*Movie I am looking forward to watch and surely will watch:
--TWILIGHT!! :)

So now, as usual I am starting to get busy with school work. Though i am not studying any major subject it still is not that easy because a lot of subjects give a lot of assignments and projects... hay.. another ride of roller coaster for me or some of us to rie in... And I am doing my best to update you with things that is going on with my life.. my next blog might be something about what really is the solution to our problems. i think i've got a nice answer to that which i got from my professor in Filipino, Ma'am Vergara..
i hope that you will leave tons of comments hehehe..
