Love Letter from Mr. G

Last month, I got my google adsense PIN :D ayt. It arrived in the mail when I least expect it. I have waited impatiently for a month and tadah!..Apparently, Google sends this out in the regular mail when your account reaches $10, and mine reached that amount after four months my application got approved. waaah. I wonder when would be my first cash out. Me and the postcard. Look! Can't you see ? it's posted through air mail :D straight from Mountain View, CA :D My real name isn't maishee :P What's my real name? Try to make out what's the name written on the mail :P

Got My Glasses

This week has been so tiresome and painful for me. Aghhhhh. Looks like my school endurance skills didn't serve me well. Yesterday, I had been berating and blaming myself for attending my 3-hour class the other day. Worst of all, I haven't lost weight like I'd like as far as the scale shows, but I felt "sexier" haha. Give me a huge Wohooo here! :D Noticed that some changes like my clothing is a bit looser. That's maybe because I don't eat between meals anymore. No more sweets and burgers. Hello savings!

Because this is my last sem in college it made me start to get more serious about rethinking my life as it currently stands. Oh no, am I getting wiser? or just the grown-up version of myself. Either way, I'm feeling good and positive about myself.

Anyways, I got my package already from LBC. my new pair of prescription glasses ! I don’t like my old pair in fact I use it very rarely. I would call this new pair the “ optimist ” glasses, talking of viewing the world with a less critical eye! Hello new me!

I'm All Geared Up for My Last Sem in College!

No words can describe the happiness I am feeling right now. I can already see myself dressed in our long red lobes walking the stage to receive my college diploma! Finally, this is it! But on the other side of my self I feel sad because I will be leaving my dear Alma Mater, Mindanao State University -Iligan Insititute of Technology. I have lots of memories in this university that will remain in me forever. Morever, I and my classmates will be parting ways :( Deep in my heart , I know that I will miss the friendship and bonding we have made throughout the years! Today, I feel happier than sad. Haha. My efforts and struggles for the past five years in BS Accountancy really paid off! I am more thankful that I was among the 54 students who'll make it this April out of the 120 + BS Accountancy students five years ago. This thought flashed me vividly back to my first day in college. What a day that was for me , a frustrated engineer who would have been one of those who passed this year's Chemical Engineering Board Exams had I chosen a different path! Stark realization had me in my third year in college, Accountancy is really meant for me! Thanks to my Dad who patiently convinced me to take up Accountancy!

School is starting sometime next week. And it's going to be hellaof a sem for me! Looking forward to my Graduation Day!

Update: March 28,2013. I visited my old posts today. Congratulations self! I made it. I am now a CPA. :)

The Hunger Games Cast

Personally, I really enjoyed the Hunger Games trilogy by Suzanne Collins. It's just spectacular and I can't believe the obsession I had with the series. I can't wait to see the movie next year to see if that lives up to the book. The movie is set to come out on March 23,2012.

For those who haven't read the book, the story centers on Katniss Everdeen from District 12 who must survive a horrible televised fight to the death game. Each year the evil Government of Panem ( post-apocalyptic North America) hosts an event called the Hunger Games where two tributes - a boy and a girl from each of the twelve districts are forced to fight in an arena of death. The hunger games are held to remind and ensure that no district makes an attempt at a rebellion. But Katniss ends up as a symbol of defiance.

Back to the movie, I've gotta say the perfect people were chosen for the movie , to start with we have Jeniffer Lawrence as Katniss Everdeen.

MAY THE ODDS BE EVER IN YOUR FAVOR

Hunger Games : Jeniffer Lawrence as Katniss Everdeen

Hunger Games : Josh Hutcherson as Peeta Mellark

Hunger Games : Liam Hemsworth as Gale

Hunger Games : Amandia Stenberg as Rue

Hunger Games : Alexander Ludwig as Cato

Hunger Games : Woody Harrelson as Haymitch

Hunger Games : Elizabeth Bank as Effie

Hunger Games : Lenny Kravitz as Cinna

Online Karaoke -Sing your Heart Out

Online Karaoke - www.risingstars.ph

Who says Karaoke doesn't have its place in the WorldWideWeb? It's one of those things that you thought was a big joke until you realize the cold seriousness. Yes, we are talking about the online karaoke which takes the merry tradition of singing in the cyber realm. Why not? Well for me, it's a bit "awkward" ( not the right term to describe it), I prefer the old way, with the big sound box? I don't even know what to call it *laughs* Excuse my ignorance. Silly me. My sister argued "what difference would it make?" ughhh. I beg to disagree. This may be considered another triumph for those who shunned the world of karaoke just because they don't want their cracking voice be heard by passers by unless of course they'll record and share the song for everyone to see and hear. We are indeed living in a diasporic age where technology is changing the spectrum of our everyday life. Forgive me for my cynicism. Anyway, here's the link http://www.risingstars.ph/. This new interactive platform is actually Filipino-owned, so might expect a massive list of OPM songs for your convenience . Hope you'll enjoy singing like my sister does!

Glued to the Computer All Day Long

I am supposed to make a new blog entry today but I end up sleeping the whole afternoon after babysitting my brother bembee earlier today. I am really at my wit's end babysitting him. He played angry birds and buddy rush all day long, and I couldn't convince him play in the backyard instead like what most of the kids in the neighborhood do. If there's anyone I know who can stand his eyes fixed on the computer screen all day it has to be him. It would take a miracle to stop him gaming so I rested my case .

Here's a cute picture of him making faces at me when I tried to chastise him about it.

I'm Officially on a Sembreak!

Shot taken during our Humanities
Culminating Activity

Finally, our sembreak has finally arrived after two weeks of battling nerve-wracking long quizzes and exams. Accounting has been hell crazy, it's a matter of life and death whether I pass or fail. I'm on my fifth year now, my final year in college, and I tell you it's getting harder :( Dang, my grades are bad this sem, I feel bad and stupid about it. I could have done better. I regret those times when I succumbed to the temptations of procrastination. I blame myself for being so mediocre. I'm seriously drained. I promise my self to do good next sem, my last sem in college! haha. I want to be productive this sembreak. But first I need to unwind and just do the idle stuff, I guess I'll have to postpone my plans till next week. I've been rotting away in bed- either reading or catching up on a sleep. I am finally free! Thank you professors for giving me the lowest grades :D and Congrats to AVANZA our seniors for getting a 100% passing rate in the CPA Board Exam!

National Statistics Office (NSO) Birth Certificate Online Service

NSO Birth Certificate

Thank God! I don't have to wait in queues anymore just to get a copy of my NSO birth certificate. Last year it took me 4 hours to get my mom's authenticated birth certificate. Imagine the hassle of lining up in hours. With NSO's Birth Certificate Delivery Service, I can now get my copy delivered straight to my door :D . I don't mind paying them for an additional amount for the freight than having to line up for five hours again. To request for an NSO Certificate you can dial 737-1111 on your mobile phone or landline. Append 02 before the hotline number if you are outside Metro Manila.

Rocket Plug-It

Rocket Plug-It Smartbro

Rocket Plug-It Smartbro offers arguably the fastest mobile internet access here in the Philippines. Hmmm. I'm planning to buy one at a one-time fee of P3,995. Spending most of time in school without any internet access can be quite a hassle. Our school is not too generous to share with us students their internet access. Now, I found a viable solution for my dilemma. Most usb modems out there would take you years to browse the internet. :( I believe this one has a decent speed. Sporting a 12-mbps speed - it's by far the fastest in mobile prepaid broadband in the Philippines. It's what Smart Philippines claims it to be, and I hope they will not disappoint me :D I can now browse the internet, check my Facebook and twitter account at lightning speeed, everywhere!

CISS ( Continuous Ink Supply System ) for Canon iP2770

After weeks of seemingly unending quizzes, I am finally back with a huge smile plastered on my face! haha. So happy I got high scores in my quizzes. Never thought I could get high grades with those nerve-wracking exams. On top of that, I got the highest grade in our batch. If you really believe in yourself, nothing is impossible. Everything's within your reach! Too much for the bragging!

Canon Pixma CISS

Got our canon iP2770 printer converted to CISS today. Finally my mom bought the idea of converting our printer to CISS. Sorry Canon :( It's better this way. The ink is way cheaper than the genuine one, plus the ink lasts long too. It took only 1 hour to convert the printer to a CISS. Been printing handouts this last two hours! D So far, I'm very impressed with the quality. Now, if you're still considering if you should convert to CISS or not, I suggest you do. It will save you a lot of money. Bigger savings means , more money to spend to other things

The Last Clues in The 39 Clues

After the series introduction of the protagonist way back in 2009, I quitted reading the series for one reason : the middle books slowed down as a lot of time was spent on exploring the world of the Cahills, the secret family that has ruled the word for centuries. Haha. I know that must have been a shallow answer. The true reason behind it is I don't have the leisure time to read books anymore in college except my accounting books. I couldn't even remember where I had left off in the 39 clues. But now that I am finally graduating, I found the urge for me to read books again. That's why I am planning to buy a kindle. Back to the story, a friend of mine told me that nothing in the past eight books can match the surprises in the penultimate volume " The 39 Clues Book 9 : Storm Warning " . The books answers many of the series biggest questions as well as it chronicles its biggest tragedies. I guess the book is worth the wait. Oh my. I can't wait to read the series I had missed. :)

Random Thoughts

Hello everyone. It feels like I haven't blogged for ages. I've been very busy like a bee for the past three days preparing for my exam in Management Accounting ( which happens to be my hatest subject) and my report in Audit theory. That explains my panda eyes :D my undereye circles have gone so dark and i look so pale. I look so horrible today. No concealer can do the trick of hiding my panda eyes :( But I I feel so loved despite that, and I am madly, insanely and ridiculously in love with someone! haha. Ever wondered why couples start to look alike the longer they stay together? That's because the longer the time, the more they mimic each other's facial expressions, lifestyle and habits.

To end this post, I would just like to share with everyone my new brother's pic taken few weeks ago. I am just surprised at how he has grown so big :D It seemed like it was just yesterday when I saw his tiny nose wondering how he could even breathe through it.

Accounting Midterms Exam

Chocolate Cupcakes keep me going during an intense study session but for today's session, my sweet chocolate cupcake failed me.

My accounting subjects are very demanding. I had to do a lot of studying . Tomorrow, I would be taking my Management Accounting midterm exam. Gaaaah. I really hate studying :( Studying for six straight hours without a break is plain suicide. My brain feels like it's gona burst like hell. Everything around me seems to be a nightmare. I may be over exaggerating things but this is for real, I am at the point where I feel that my head is seriously going to explode if i have to solve another problem in accounting. Staring at my accounting study materials and testbanks full of numbers made my head reeled for hours yesterday , and now I am afraid I am beginning to feel it again. Every time I read two paragraphs from the theory part, none of it is sinking in on my second and third try.This is just madness, I know I'm not going to accomplish anything beyond what I have already done today. I'm already yawning. Need some sleep. Good night.

May the odds be in my favor tomorrow. God bless.

Kindle 4

Today, I realize that I am finally ready to drop the paperback. I saw the need for me to get an e-reader. I have been looking for ebook readers for the past two hours from different brands. There are lots of good ebook readers to choose from but I narrowed down my choice to amazon's very popular kindle. So far, the kindle seems to be the logical choice. I love the e-ink technology that the kindle has., and the fact that, it handles PDF documents pretty well is a plus factor for me. It would be definitely very useful for my studies . To add to that, I have been hearing a lot of good feedback from kindle users. I know the kindle is basically for reading ( unlike the iPad and other tablets) , it does not do much, but what it does, it does it beautifully.

But should I wait for Kindle 4? News and rumors from technology blogs speculate the kindle 4 to come out later this year. I hope that it would be a colored kindle. To my despair, from what I've read from other blogs, the improvements would most likely be a touch screen kindle 4. Oh my. I hate touch screen gadgets . I am a touchscreen zealot. I don't want be decked out with all gadgets being touch screen capable. But I am still hoping for a colored Kindle. :D I can't really decide whether I should shell out my money for a kindle 3 or wait for kindle 4's release date.

I guess I'd really have to wait.. I am thrilled.

Musk by Alyssa Ashley and Nivea Creme Review

Last month, I got a wonderful surprise package from my aunt abroad. Once I got the packaging material out of the way, I was holding one body moisturizer and a nivea creme. I personally had never heard of the Alyssa Ashley musk nevertheless, I'm too excited to try it right away. This musk has an average consistency, it's neither thick nor runny or watery; it applies on easily and absorbs quickly. It doesn't feel sticky too. It feels silky and soft on my skin. Where was the ooey gooey softness? Within a couple of days the dry lines in my elbows were gone. The other one, the nivea creme, is a beauty product I probably would not have purchased in the store to try. I love the smell but I don't like the consistency, it's too greasy and oily but it does moisturize though. Since it's too greasy, I use it at night time.

How to get back to the old FB chat.

How to get back to the Old Facebook Chat!

The new FB chat sucks as it only shows a select few of my online friends. It has so many things wrong with it! I've been bashing like there's no tomorrow for Facebook and been rampaging the internet for a solution, and voila I found this! https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/bfipfkeoidmndggnnpobeenlamiclald# ! It works like magic!

Nokia C3 Theme

I just had my free Ramadan Kareem theme for my Nokia C3 white phone from http://www.themereflex.com. I love the perfect combination of subtle green and white, and the homescreen icons standing great in contrast against the light background, which makes this an awesome theme. Advance Happy Ramadan to all my Muslim Brothers and Sisters!

My Favorite Study Snacks

Chuckie, nuts and orange juice

Hello. I’m here for a quick post in between studying for my quiz in MAS tomorrow! Getting pumped up to get it done quick. I need some rest . Gaaaah. Anyways, I just want to share my favorite study snacks :D heaps of peanuts, chuckie and orange drink :D I always need food to keep me awake and alert in the middle of an intense study session . These snacks help me hit the books for hours. :D

Transformers 3 Dark of The Moon Review

Transformers : Dark of the Moon

From the day I watched the second movie of transformers, Transformers : Revenge of the Fallen, few years ago, (I can't really remember the date) I've been ticking off the days on my calendar, anxiously waiting for June to come. As the months were reduced into weeks, and weeks dwindled into days, it felt more and more like time was moving agonizingly slow. I am not a die-hard fan of the transformers comic books who never held the record for reading one but I am, after all, a hardcore fan of the movies next to my brother bembee.

Every aspect of the film was worth every penny I paid just to watch the movie on the big screen. From the screenplay and cinematography down to the special effects, they were all woven into seamless perfection. It was very easy for me to suspend my belief that the Autobots and the Decepticons don't really exist for a couple of hours.

Shortly after the end of the flick, I was on tears. I must say goodbye to one of the series most beloved character : Optimus Prime. Even until now, I can't still believe that the saga has finally ended and that there won't be a new transformer movie to look forward to in the next years to come. An epic film indeed.

I will never forget these lines from Optimus Prime : You may lose faith in us, but never in yourselves.

I'm Mentally Tired of Studying

Finance and Accounting Books

Audit. Finance. Management Accounting. Advance Accounting. Is anyone else tired of studying?

Everytime I try to open my books and study I always get tired. I should be studying right now for my Finance quiz the next day but I can't even find the energy to look at my books today. I don't want to do it all at once the night before the test. Screw my books. I promise you it's frigging better than any damn sleeping pill you know. Gah, I need motivation. Then, I think about my desire to become a CPA and suck it up. There have been some really unsettling things going on for the past weeks but I can't afford to be tired of studying and distracted. I want my old self back.

I bought some snacks earlier hoping that crunching little things that I can nibble on will help me , and a little caffiene does not help me either. I need to get rid of the distraction hopefully tonight but first I need to get some more earnest desire to study. I need some rest. *Sleepy*

Lady Laptop Bag and Sleeve

My purple laptop bag

Howdy!

My apologies for not posting anything for the past two months because I have been so busy with school. I realized that there are other things important in life besides school :D hehe So here I am. *winks*

Last week, I bought a big purple laptop bag and sleeve for my lappie from Fashionmonster. I really love the color combination. I must mention that shopping with Fashionmonster has been a pleasant experience. Being a fickle-minded, I flooded Fashionmonster with lots of questions and kept changing my mind. Nonetheless, Fashionmonster entertained my request for the customized sleeve to perfecty fit my 15.6 laptop and answered all my questions patienly. As a result of the request, it took three days to process my order .My order was then shipped to me expeditiously. Thanks Fashionmonster!

Bullied

Blogger was getting on my nerves since yesterday. It keeps on loading everytime I hit the " New Post" button.. But thank God finally I was able to post. Without further much ado, let me take you to the main point of this post.

Picture Credits : catholicusanglicanus.wordpress.com

One of my bad memories from childhood perhaps, the worst, was that I was bullied. That's one memory that really stick out in my mind. Violence against children by their peers or classmates has received little attention here in the Philippines, possibly due to the perception that bullying and fighting among children is part of a child's growing up. Sure you heard you parents say "away bata lang yan" which has become the common excuse. Yeah, petty fight among kids are just normal but to be bullied was different. The situation is something to be pitied about. A situation which a kid shouldn't go through. It isn't normal or a rite of passage for children. My memory takes me back to the days when going to school was a nightmare. I felt awful about myself. It was not easy to speak up about my situation to my parents thinking that it would make the situation much more worse, I am afraid they might retaliate for doing so. The bullies won't talk to me. As though it was below their dignity to do so. They laugh at me everyday. They did mean things to me. Why was I bullied by the way ? Because I am boyish, thin, less bright ( I am a late bloomer you know) and the crush of the head bully's crush ( she envied me for being beautiful, haha). Even my friends turned their backs to save themselves from this tyrannic bullies. I had no idea how to stand up for myself. I suddenly lost interest in going to school. I would make excuses just so I couldn't go to school. It changed my life. Day by day, I became increasingly walled-off. That's how I became the loner type. No one wants to befriend me. I found my escape through books, the only place I could escape to. By the time I reached highschool, it was hard for me to coax myself out of my shell. It was a dreadful experience. Thank God, slowly, I was able to to build my confidence and improve my fragile self-esteem. My experience explains why I had no close friends. If I could only turn back time. I should have done something about it.

Three Year Old Girl- Crying Over Justin Bieber

Recently, I finally succumbed to watching hilarious videos online.I've watched tons of them already and laughed my heart out a hundred times. Found one, not the best though but its quite enough to kick-start your day :)

Justin Bieber might be a punch line to some, but to this girl, Hailey Jane, he is a demi god. Haha..I'm still laughing at this video since yesterday. Haha.. Enchong needs to see this.

Tips on how to get rid of pimples quickly.

Waking up to find a big red pimple on your nose or anywhere right on your face baring itself for all to see is a scary yet funny beauty scenario you wouldn't want to be in. It's everyones worst nightmare. Yesterday, I made this grave mistake of squeezing a blackhead on my left cheek. I know the beauty commandment " thou shall not squeeze your pimples but I couldn't resist myself from squeezing. It feels like that blackhead has been there for months and no matter how I wash and exfoliate it, it wouldn't just go away. It's too disgusting to look at in the mirror. I'm not used to having blackheads. Now I'm still living with the mistake. I have this huge red bump on my face and it seems like it going to explode anytime. Thanks God, it happened on my summer break and right after my OJT, that saves me for now I reckon. I have to keep myself barred at home. What's left for me to do now is help myself get rid of it quickly before my summer escapade :)

So much for the talk here are the tips I'm talking about :

Tip 1 : Don't ever squeeze, pinch or pick at a pimple. This could worsen the situation.

Tip 2 : Wash your face 2-3 times a day with a specialized acne cleanser.

Tip 3 : Every 45 minutes, apply an ice pack ( make sure it's clean ) to the affected are / pimple for about 3 minutes. This helps ease the inflammation.

Last Night Was a Shame!

Another sluggish and lame afternoon. I was on my laptop while eating some fried sweet potatoes. Just got my FB status updated . Listening to this heart and gut-wrenching song over the radio, I've driven myself and sister nuts with my painful attempts at hitting the high notes. The mere fact that I was able to hit the right note once was like a pinch from the heavens. Brushing that all aside, in the middle of my habitual multi-tasking, I found this application Last Night Never Happened . It's a new app for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch users that promises to erase last night's activity shameful twitter and Facebook posts while you're drunk. This app is a saving grace for those who got carried away and ending up posting embarrassing tweets and posts. I don't find the application useful for me since I don't drink and I don't have an iPhone :D hahaaha. But I would be much happier if it could erase last night's real time activity. Kiddin. *winks*

Facebook Email

I was invited to facebook's new feature! Facebook Email. haha.. Apparently , you can access the page for this at http://www.facebook.com/about/messages/ but you would have to wait for facebook's invitation to activate this feature. I had fun sending emails from my facebook account to my yahoomail account.It's an all-in-one messaging system. However, I want to get rid of the chat archiving feature. :( Facebook's New Messages was announced late last year. As facebook aptly puts it, the new messages interweaves your chats, texts and emails. It’s a central place to control all of your private communication, both on and off Facebook.

Chocolate Madness

Put the jarred stuff to shame with this dutch cocoa

Trumpeting new evidence about chocolate's health benefits, mom bought me some dutch cocoa for my chocolate cravings. I baked some hot fudge yesterday . My chocolate fudge looks as iconic as ice cream itself. A two-for-one treat : it's half cake and half brownies :D -completely foolproof. It's a devilishly rich dessert that made my brother say "wow". It's even more mouthwatering with the choco nut syrup on top. With just a bite, you'll understand why it's called DUTCH cocoa. A tweak to mom's traditional recipe, I added some sprinkles. It's history in the baking.

I'm becoming Older :)

This day I realized that I'm getting older. I could still remember my cute little brother bembee when he's about three years and half, he would run round the house all day long like a dog. Now, he's a grown up, things have changed but its been really fun watching him grow and develop. There's no more bembee in the crib and babble in baby talk with his thumb in his mouth. I miss the boy I used to cuddle and rock to sleep. Everytime I get home, i would always find him sitting in the sofa watching his favorite cartoons. He has turned into a couch potato. While he's preoccupied by his cartoon fantasies, I am in my room sleeping. But at the end of the day, you would find him sleeping beside me. He's a bubbly boy, he would ask me questions just about everything that goes through his mind right before he would fall asleep.
