Looking Back

Posted by A Matter of Perspective on Monday, September 24th, 2007 @ 6:41 pm in Personal - International.

When J and I were planning our wedding back in 2004, one of the first things we took care of was purchasing our wedding bands. We both wanted something simple and nothing too flashy. I must admit though that I initially wanted one with diamonds but come to think of it, I'm glad I did not push through with idea . With all the chores to be done here in the house, all those precious stones could have fallen out in the process. Now that would have been such a waste!

Ten on Tuesday: 10 Things I’ve Been Putting Off

Posted by on Monday, September 24th, 2007 @ 6:37 pm in Personal - International.

It’s time for .

  1. Organising Erin’s stuff - The little girl has accumulated loads of stuff over the months and I have yet to sort them all out into these categories: to put away in boxes (for future use [?]), to give away, and to use ASAP.
  2. Read my books - I still have tons of books to read. I just can’t seem to find the time to read these days. :(
  3. Clean! - I’m such a neat freak so it bothers me a lot when things are a mess. As much as I would want to partake in the cleaning duties in our home, sadly these days, most of them are delegated to J.
  4. Do some gardening - Before Erin was born, J and I regularly did some gardening on weekends. He was (still is) in charge of weeding while I trimmed the bushes and trees. We find the activity therapeutic.
  5. Going home to Manila - Understandably, with Erin being so young, we won’t be able to come home to Manila for the holidays. We’re postponing our trip to next year, after she turns a year older.
  6. Pamper myself at a salon or spa - I’m doing this when we get to Manila. I think I just sooooo deserve it. I’m getting the works! :P
  7. Go shopping alone - I’m saving up for this one. I can’t wait to shop with my lone self. It’s been awhile. I think I can maximize this one when we’re in Manila.
  8. Sleep at least 8 hours - This, of course, is unintentional and is totally dependent on Erin.
  9. Taking my driver’s examination - I still don’t have my learner’s license. I actually flunked the exam when I took it last year and was so traumatized (it ain’t easy, plus it’s so expensive!) by it that I have not tried to take it again. I know I need to seriously put in more effort when I review for the test so that I can drive our car if the need arises.
  10. Get fully accredited in my profession - I still need to complete the second part of the board’s assessment which requires me to go on supervised work. It’ll take me six months to complete it if I work fulltime. It’s a no-can-do situation right now because I have to take care Erin first.

Wow, I didn’t realise there’s so much that I’ve been putting off. Until Erin’s grown up a bit, I think I won’t be crossing out much from this list any time soon.

How about you? What is on your list?

GMA-7 buys rights to remake Mexican telenovela “Rosalinda”

Posted by Filipino Cultured - Art, Entertainment, Culture, and Inspiration on Monday, September 24th, 2007 @ 5:08 pm in Entertainment.


Amazing. I'm completely fascinated by the world of business as it relates to entertainment, and I have to say that what I tell you guys about is an extremely smart business move on the part of GMA7.

So the remake of Marimar is doing extremely well on GMA7 getting top ratings every night with an average 40% ratings ranking it #1 week after week since it's debut last month, and ABS-CBN just recently announced it's plans to replicate that success with Angel Locsin as Rosalinda, another one of Thalia's blockbuster telenovelas that made it big in the Philippines.

Well, GMA7 seeing the success of what is probably now the newest trend in Philippine television: to remake Thalia's telenovelas, was smart and seized the opportunity and contacted Televisa to purchase the rights to remake Rosalinda. It was inked in pen, the deal was closed, and also the opportunity for ABS-CBN to cash in on what would've been a grand cash cow, now belongs to GMA.

If you guys remember, Rosalinda was and continues to be the highest rated television show in history on Filipino television with a 70% ratings. No show since has ever been able to beat those ratings, with the exception of Manny Pacquio's fight, but that doesn't count since it's not a scripted television show.

Thalia and Fernando Carrillo visited the Philippines during that time, the effect of which millions of Filipinos lined up the streets just to see their television heroes.

My head hurts a lot

Posted by HyukTa.net on Monday, September 24th, 2007 @ 4:05 pm in Personal - Philippines.

For two days, all I’ve been doing is worry. I feel sad. I feel lonely. I do not know who to talk to. I do not know who can make me smile. ( I try to talk to people, but I get ignored. I don’t understand myself now. If someone asks what’s wrong with me, I wouldn’t even know nor where to start. Wait, I don’t even know what to answer. (

I want to start anew. I haven’t accomplished much lately and it’s making me feel down. I hate it when work begins to pile up. I still do not have the heart to do anything. Just when I feel like this, somebody ruins my mood more. He called me a bad person. He’d rather make me cry instead of having to listen to my opinions. He called me stuff that not even my parents did before.

I can’t count how many times I’ve wanted to run away from everything. I also realize how much I’m not interesting. I bore people. (Ah, no wonder they ignore me.) I am always misunderstood. Would people be happy if I become mute?

Taking a trip to San Diego? Check out the San Diego nightlife.


I haven’t been to San Diego, CA. -_- The only places I’ve been to before in the USA are in Illinois and Michigan. –> Wow, that was suddenly OT. o_O Oh, are any of my online buddies living in San Diego? I think I have relatives there. When I go visit them, we should meet up. *tries to smile* -_-

Do I need God in order to be good?

I was faced by this question. This is the final requirement for our Philosophy 106 Class (Philosophy of Religion).

Do I need God in order to be good?


Do we really need Him for us to be good? Is His absence in our life makes us bad? If a person does not share his beliefs in God, does it mean he did not live a good moral life?

Please help me uncover the answers to this philosophical question. Thanks a lot.

We come to our own center of the world
Where all faces fade into darkness

All I see is you
No longer there.

In this room
My mind will never rest
And will never forget
Memory is the only link to you

Though imagination kills
Still we lie there
Infants nursing our pain
But this is not the way
The universe
Gripped by these bitter hands
Bitter all the way.

Love is nowhere there
In that place of pride and self.
Not there
But in the growth of all,
Point me to the exit and I’ll go

You will find me
Over the edge
Into the space and
Here and now.
You will find me
Over the edge
Here and now.

No one can erase the past
As witnessed by the stars,
But the world can never wait
For anyone to start.

This place is filled with lies
Saturation seen from the ground up to the sky
And we can never touch the earth again
For we are slowly falling
slowly falling straight down.

In this gravity
I cannot believe that I am looking forward to another day.
in this gravity
Nothing left in me.
The good is lost while we slowly fade away.

So hold on and keep your head up again
Listen to the sound of this spiritual blend
Get up and realize that you've got to reckon
The crimes you have committed against yourself and against the vision

We represent the dignity that emanates from the stronghold of our souls
Know the right
And let it carry you with beams of light

In this gravity
I cannot believe that I am looking forward to another day
In this gravity
Still something burns in me
Save the good so we can live again.

Cramped-up lies in your head leave you numb
The earth falls with you and we lose ground.
So, this is what you live for?

We tolerate the tally of empty strokes

Bleeding on the blackboard
Bleed with me today!

When will we say that the game has got to end?
Shatter the stage of this mockery we play
We have seen the charade and
Watched them take our sovereignty away
This is no the only way

THe seat is a goldmine of dreams
To collect
Check the electorate market
Spearheading the conquest
Vile veterans
Contaminated contest

We cower to a canvass of fakes,
To the powers who assume the choice we make

Voice of many is the Voice of God they say...

Once again
Nurtured by a heavy hand
The pen glides across the paper
Leaving the marks reflecting thoughtlessness
Nevertheless, this artist of ruins
Collecting, assembling words
Like warriors on the front line
Raise the flag, advance and
Chant the songs of freedom
Bring forth the majesty and artistry
Into this kingdom

Descendants of the Firstborn
On a mission to proceed elimination of delusion
Words stem from small cracks and fissures on the pavement
Experience the wonder of this microphone engagement
That I spill to you like water to nourish your soul
Let the music take control

I am drenched in this heavy rain
But you call on me
Saving me, sweet innocent child
I'm never letting go of this pain
I'm feeling it
I got to believe 'coz this is for you

Now to this call
I seek, I find
I rummage the mind,
Reply with lyrics swaying oceans to rise
And overflow
To cover up the land of masses
Seeping though soil, dirt and ashes
Forgotten promises have crippled our trust
No longer willing to risk emotion
But believe it I must
In time, from far away, this lines will echo in your mind
Eyes deep like oceans
let the music take control

Forward now
Come forward with me

We are the descendants of the Firstborn
Into the light of the stage we bring in reform

Anne Curtis’ retro 1930s style on the cover of this month’s Marie Claire magazine

Filipina actress Anne Curtis graces the cover of this month's Marie Claire magazine, looking absolutely beautiful and a little startling in this retro 1930s style.

If you ask me, sometimes the magazine editors in the Philippines do bad jobs in picking which pictures to choose for covers, having a little experience in advertising myself, many times, they over-Photoshop the covers with the touch-ups to the point where it looks unnatural. How many times have I seen that with pictures in Cosmopolitan Philippines, especially when they feature Filipino actors, the Filipino magazine editors go overboard and touch the pictures up so much it doesn't even look like the original actor anymore and it looks more like a fake picture. Not smart at all, especially from a marketing perspective. People don't want fake pictures, they want at least a little bit of naturalness when looking at their favorite celebrities.

Also, for magazine covers, this picture is a horrible pick, because of Anne Curtis' menacing facial expression. Studies have shown that people prefer smiling faces and if not smiling, then it should at least be a pleasant facial expression and not a facial expression that displays negativity, I understand Anne was trying to be like a sexy femme fetal with her facial expression, but it's a thin line, and this picture, it's crossed over into negativity, and if they're going for a suave and sexy femme fetal look, suave and sexy is not the pathos that Anne Curtis is displaying on her face, instead it looks like she wants to murder you, haha, which is not enticing at all for the people who are looking for a magazine to buy.
