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

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!

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.

Hunger Games :  Josh Hutcherson as Peeta Mellark

Hunger Games : Liam Hemsworth as Gale

Hunger Games :  Amandia Stenberg as Rue

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!

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.

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!

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. This service applies to other documents such as Marriage Certificate, Death Certificate and Certificate of No Marriage ( CENOMAR ). Payments can be made through Bayad Center, Bancnet ATM and Metrobank. For more info, you can visit their website here Kudos to NSO for coming up with this online application!  May pag asa pa ang Pilipinas! :D 

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! 

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! 

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 

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. :)

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.

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. 

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. 

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!

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

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.

Finance and Accounting Books

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*
