Findings

i found out some things about me this week

1. i can survive even without eating anything for 24 hours, just give me water. and i'm not on a diet okay? which i need actually
2. i'm not really a multi-tasker. all my life, i consider myself as a multi-tasker. but this week proven me wrong
3. i'm kindhearted to the point of people taking advantage of it
4. i'm too generous, just like the story inj the gospel who just gave 2 coins but in reality has given her everything. i think i'm like her. and the people around me thinks i'm thrifty, but honestly it's all i can give.. it's everything i have
5. i seriously need an extra income... seriously
*edited*
6. i give in to peer pressures easily
7. i should not plan or get excited on anything coz it doesn't happen (haay... vina and neko, when will i meet you?)

2009?

did you know that it's october already and the it's already 2010 soon?

honestly, i was surprised when i realized it this morning. yes, i know it's october already but i was surprised when i realized that 2009 will end already. it's like i didn't notice that 2009 has gone by. promise, i still can't believe that 285 days had gone by already and i have not noticed it.

i guess i won't notice that it's christmas already until someone mentions it to me.

Every Help is a Big Help

i guess you already know what happened in our country, the philippines, last weekend. a typhoon hit our country which flooded the metro, leaving a lot of people homeless. and now, another typhoon is said to go to our country. we really need your prayers. and all the help that you can give.



the fans of the korean variety show, family outing, has an on-going project. it is to help the victims of the typhoon. if you'll notice in the right-side of my blog, there's a chip-in button for the philippines disaster. you can donate there. you just need your paypal account or credit card. click chip-in or visit this site: http://ramensoupsubs.chipin.com/philippines-disaster

and the good thing about this project is that, if they'll have enough funds, it will be distributed to other countries who need help also, like indonesia.

so if you can, i hope you can donate any amount. there's no small amount here. thank you for your prayers and your help. stay safe everyone and God bless us.

The Power of the Internet

we all know how internet can help us - keeping in touch research, etc. but it can also destroy one. video scandals, etc.

this week the kpop (korean pop - yeah! i'm addicted to it now) world had gone fiasco because of a comment made by one of the idols to his friend on myspace four years ago when he was still a trainee and new in the country.

a lot of koreans got mad. there had been petitions for him to leave, but the worst is having a petition of him to commit suicide. and 3,000 signed that petition. what happened next? well, he quit not just being the leader of the group but he quit the group itself, and went back to america where his family resides.

it's just sad that someone who has a lot ahead of him had his career ended like that. and it just proves, that netizens can really affect one's life. there had been a number already who committed suicide because of harsh comments from the netizens.

and also, it shows how public your posts are on the internet. i remember my dad getting mad at me because of an entry i've posted in my blog (yes, my dad reads my blog. pa, don't deny it, i even saw you once. hehe).

and i remember reading somewhere that some companies search the internet for information on applicants.

so, my dear blogsy friends.. remember, that what you write can either make you or break you. what you write might not be of significance for you in the present, but we'll never know for another person, nor in the future.

and for those who read negative comments that affects them, don't make it affect you negatively. learn from it, prove to them your worth.

and for the kpop idol, just hang in there. coz a lot of people still believes in you.

Thank You

Memories of Coup

the former president and a great leader of the Philippines, Cory Aquino, passed away last August 1. and of course her presidency was again remembered. and there had been a mention of seven coup d'etat. but out of this seven, i could only remember one. and this one introduced me to the term coup d'etat.

it is december 1989 (if i'm not mistaken, december 1). around 4am, while having breakfast and getting ready for school we heard from the radio (my grandma always listen to the news every morning) that the villamor airbase was attacked. honestly, i did not know what villamor airbase was. i didn't even know that we have an airbase. hehe. afterwards, it was announced that there are no classes. of course we were happy with the news but i didn't know actually why there's no classes.

we lived near camp aguinaldo. you can say the camp is walking distance from our house. that's where we hear mass. since we live near the camp, you can hear helicopters flying, you can see the jets... you will really know that something's wrong and everyone was fearful.

my family and the rest of the neighborhood evacuated the place and we went our own separate ways. we stayed at the house of my mom's friend in tandang sora. my uncle who was left behind recounted that you can hear bombings. and a day or two after the coup ended, we passed by aguinaldo and you can see bullet holes, not only on the walls of the camp but also at the house across the camp. there are still tanks in the vicinity, and inside the camp.

it was a scary experience, and we were not really in the area when the real bombings occur but still it was scary. that is why i can't imagine how those in war zone areas feel.

let's just pray for them. and the family of the soldiers.

...

i have a short attention span.

the end.
