TV Series: Game of Thrones
Game of thrones was a good show to watch. I'm not really a fan of fiction stories let alone fantasy medieval novels. But this one hooks me up that I look forward to reading A Song of Fire and Ice Series. Let me warn you though, this is not suitable for minors. Too much violence, nudity, and sex scenes. Nonetheless, if you're not that conservative, try watching this and enjoy as much as I did.

A Story Worth Sharing
Here is a story worth sharing (This isn't mine, feel free to share this):

One young academically excellent person went to apply for a managerial position in a big company.
He passed the first interview, the director did the last interview, made the last decision.
The director discovered from the CV that the youth's academic achievements were excellent all the way, from the secondary school until the postgraduate research, never had a year when he did not score.......
The director asked, "Did you obtain any scholarships in school?" the youth answered "none".
The director asked, " Was it your father who paid for your school fees?" The youth answered, "My father passed away when I was one year old, it was my mother who paid for my school fees.
The director asked, " Where did your mother work?" The youth answered, "My mother worked as clothes cleaner. The director requested the youth to show his hands. The youth showed a pair of hands that were smooth and perfect.
The director asked, " Have you ever helped your mother wash the clothes before?" The youth answered, "Never, my mother always wanted me to study and read more books. Furthermore, my mother can wash clothes faster than me.
The director said, "I have a request. When you go back today, go and clean your mother's hands, and then see me tomorrow morning.
The youth felt that his chance of landing the job was high. When he went back, he happily requested his mother to let him clean her hands. His mother felt strange, happy but with mixed feelings, she showed her hands to the kid.
The youth cleaned his mother's hands slowly. His tear fell as he did that. It was the first time he noticed that his mother's hands were so wrinkled, and there were so many bruises in her hands. Some bruises were so painful that his mother shivered when they were cleaned with water.
This was the first time the youth realized that it was this pair of hands that washed the clothes everyday to enable him to pay the school fee. The bruises in the mother's hands were the price that the mother had to pay for his graduation, academic excellence and his future.
After finishing the cleaning of his mother hands, the youth quietly washed all the remaining clothes for his mother.
That night, mother and son talked for a very long time.
Next morning, the youth went to the director's office.
The Director noticed the tears in the youth's eyes, asked: "Can you tell me what have you done and learned yesterday in your house?"
The youth answered," I cleaned my mother's hand, and also finished cleaning all the remaining clothes'
The Director asked,"please tell me your feelings."
The youth said, Number 1, I know now what is appreciation. Without my mother, I would not be successful today. Number 2, by working together and helping my mother, only I now realize how difficult and tough it is to get something done. Number 3, I have come to appreciate the importance and value of family relationship.
The director said, "This is what I am looking for to be my manager. I want to recruit a person who can appreciate the help of others, a person who knows the sufferings of
others to get things done, and a person who would not put money as his only goal in life. You are hired.
Later on, this young person worked very hard, and received the respect of his subordinates. Every employee worked diligently and as a team. The company's performance improved tremendously.
A child, who has been protected and habitually given whatever he wanted, would develop "entitlement mentality" and would always put himself first. He would be ignorant of his parent's efforts. When he starts work, he assumes that every person must listen to him, and when he becomes a manager, he would never know the sufferings of his employees and would always blame others. For this kind of people, who may be good academically, may be successful for a while, but eventually would not feel sense of achievement. He will grumble and be full of hatred and fight for more. If we are this kind of protective parents, are we really showing love or are we destroying the kid instead?
You can let your kid live in a big house, eat a good meal, learn piano, watch a big screen TV. But when you are cutting grass, please let them experience it. After a meal, let them wash their plates and bowls together with their brothers and sisters. It is not because you do not have money to hire a maid, but it is because you want to love them in a right way. You want them to understand, no matter how rich their parents are, one day their hair will grow gray, same as the mother of that young person. The most important thing is your kid learns how to appreciate the effort and experience the difficulty and learns the ability to work with others to get things done.
:)
Happy Tuesday Morning people!

A fiction-ado much?
Are you a fan of novels? If you're going to ask me, I'm not. I much prefer non-fiction books instead.
Now, don't get me wrong. You might picture me out as a nerd that seek out reference books, atlases and encyclopedias for enjoyment (just as what Ms. Trish had imagined - XD). I later found out that using the word "non-fiction" was quite broad. Sorry. Though I also enjoy reading anatomy & physiology books sometimes because I like finding out how the body works and stuff like that.
I was often baffled and amused on how friends and acquaintances can manage to finish a 2-inches wide book because seriously, I can't.
But one sunny day, things changed.
I admit that it is not my first time in reading novels. So I've had this idea that why not try again to read a couple of books of my preference?
I've searched and asked for recommedations and found the Percy Jackson series. And because I like Greek mythology so much, I was able to finish the book 1 in 3 days. Yey for me!
I was also able to finish The Hunger Games trilogy by Suzanne Collins.
If you dig the young adult kind, why not try Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher? I find it a good read. Though honestly speaking, they could use a multicolored fonts for different characters as I find myself having a headache after reading it.
Currently, I'm reading The Perks of Being a Wallflower. The book tackles on several sensitive teenage issues and so far, I'm loving it!

a BIG HOORAY for Sticky Sticky Notes!
Hello there buddies!
In today's generation, there's just too much work to accomplish, too much information to digest and too little time.
Today, I'd like to share a very, very important friend of mine who have helped me countless of times in times of crisis.
Introducing you my friendly Sticky Notes!
- The good part is that they are handy.
- The better part is that they comes in different sizes, shape and colors.
- The best part of it is that it's cheap!
well, I think the sticky notes that I bought in Liana's Supermarket is cheap. You can have this 5 different colors sticky notes for only 21.75 pesos!
I think every student and professional (especially who works in the offices) should have one. Unless of course you have a very excellent retentive memory, then you doesn't need one.
Too bad, I've got to discover this helpful aid during my last year in college!

Do you see what I see from Vitamin C?
Hello there! I'd like to share something today. I've tried a couple of times to reply to a thread in a forum but to no avail. So before my frustration could reach its peek meter, I've decided to post it here instead.
But let's start first with a short introduction.
Vitamin C (Ascorbic acid) is a water soluble vitamin which is essential for the body. It has many benefits. Among these are for collagen formation and for strengthening the immune system. You can search in the Internet for more benefits of Vitamin C. And you can take it authentically or synthetically.
Natural foods such as oranges, papaya, lemon, red bell peppers, tomatoes, guava, etc. belongs to what I call authentic. Those supplements taken over the counter are what I call synthetic. I firmly believe that foods that we eat naturally is the best source of Vitamin C.
Now, there was this person who was asking why is he getting more sick though he was taking Vitamin C (whether regardless it was natural or supplemental) for 2 weeks. When he stop taking it, it made him feel better.
My supposed-to-be answer to him would go like this:
I've experienced it, too. Whenever I had bad colds, my mother would always scold me why I was not taking Vitamin C supplements everyday. I would just shrug it off and always tell her that I'm getting the amount of Vitamin C needed in my diet so there's no need for me to take more. In the past, I've had this notion that taking more tablets of Vitamin C would mean that I'll be more resistant to colds especially during rainy days.
Taking 2 tablets of vitamin C morning which are 500 milligrams each and 2 for the evening worked at first but later it just made it worst. So what did I do whenever I had a cold is this:
Sleep earlier than usual. Our body needs to recuperate more. It is one effective way of boosting your immune system.
Eat guava. I don't know if it is just me or it's only psychological but I remember my mother recommending this over oranges and dalandan. I guess, more Vitamin C? In my experience, guava helps me to recover faster and I pretty much like munching it too.
Frequent handwashing. Better to do it with soap and water. No need to say more.
I've read somewhere that Vitamin C will be much more effective if taken before catching a cold. I'm still confused whether there is really an overdose of Vitamin C since what I know is that it is a water soluble vitamin. Any excess would just go out in the the urine.
A Letter to My Sister
Yesterday, my sister told me that she failed 3 subjects and wouldn't be able to graduate this April. She, who is not really a crybaby, was crying and was so angry at herself. We tried to console her but to no avail. I've learned that it is sometimes more beneficial to leave someone alone. This morning, I was inspired to write her a letter and wrote one. Unfortunately, after when I went home, I find her in a much better situation. So I guess, she doesn't need this one? Haha. Maybe I will tell her later.

To my Only "DALA" na Bunsisteree,
I may not fully know what or how you are feeling, but I know "THAT" feeling somehow because I've experienced it too in some way. No matter what you do or feel, you cannot change the fact that you can't turn back what has been already cast. I ask you to please try to widen your horizon more. Treat it as a learning experience, do not dwell on the past and live life more fully and richer by bouncing higher than ever. I've always believed that the most blessed ones are those given with the most hardships because these obstacles are not really problems but in actuality, opportunities for you to grow into someone of great value.
Have you heard of the Bulb story of Thomas Edison? I presumed you have either read or encountered that story. If my memory serves me right, Thomas Edison had failed 1000 times and even blew up his laboratory a couple of times before successfully developing the bulb. Do you remember that in his quotation, he perceived it not as a failure but as 1000 steps in developing the bulb?
I know I always annoy you when I say to always look on the brighter side. Let's face it. It is HARD to think positive when the world around you makes you feel otherwise. You know, *whisper mode* I felt that a bazillion times.
But my dear, maybe you're taking my advice superficially. I just couldn’t pinpoint how I came up to this. Maybe because I’m so much assuming? Hehe.. I may be wrong, I may be right but I think it’s because of your unconscious gestures. It is okay to rant and be angry for a while, but don’t linger on that feeling for too long. It is very unhealthy not only for the mind but also for the body.
Victory is sweet when you have achieved your goal. The sweetest is when you know the feeling of failing. Do you remember the joke that any kind of food tastes great when you’re absolutely hungry? You cannot define well courage without fear, good without bad and most probably success without failure. One failing doesn’t mean you’re a failure. Same goes for failing twice or thrice. It is through quitting which makes one a failure.
As I've said to you a couple of times, there's more to life than getting good grades and good credentials. Who knows, maybe in the future, you can be the next greatest person who can revolutionize the world? What is important now and for tomorrow is for you do your utmost best in any way you can without stepping on anybody, and enjoy what you are doing because you will experience this only once. It is the attitude that always counts and your plan for the future. Your plan should be yours, neither theirs nor someone’s. In this way, there’ll be no regrets. Do not forget to breathe deeply, relax and smell the flowers. Life has many works of art even words can’t describe.
It really makes me uncomfortable to say this but I will be always here for you. I, myself was even surprised when I had made this 500+ words letter just for you. Maybe because you are one S-P-E-C-I-A-L child. Just try to decipher what special means.. hahaha..
Remember that we love you and will always be proud of you!
Lots of Love, Hugs and Kisses (<--Yuck. Totally not me. -_-)

Planners.. Again.
Ever since I've received a planner from a great professor way back in college, I've been hooked on planners! It's not like I've not seen a planner since the last 22 years of my life but the planners I see tend to be huge (like those of a notebook) or if not, bulky. Truthfully speaking, I don't really dig that kind of planners. But then, planners from papelmeroti saves the day! For as low as 20 php, you can have one. But if you're the type that needs a huge space in a planner for a day, I think that this type of planner wouldn't suit you. I guess I like planners which are convenient to bring and in which I can have an overview of activities or reminders for the month.
I bought another kind of planner for my mom which costs 29 php from Papelmeroti.
Look here.
I'm back!
Hello there!

It's MERIENDA time!

Strategy on how to beat Chicken Chase Level 50
I've managed to come up with a strategy plan in order to beat Level 50 of Chicken Chase. It was after a few attempts in trying to win the game of course! You know, I was able to beat it a couple of times before. But recently, just when I tried it once more, I couldn't pass the last level. And so it suddenly gave me an idea on how about making a way on how to beat the game. I've tried and tried until I came up with a solution. And here it is.
The first thing I've bought was the grey hen, the one that enables eggs to hatch after sitting on them. Gather some coins until you can purchase the pink elephant that helps you against ravens and wolves. However, even though you have the elephant, you'll still encounter ravens trying to scoop up your chickens and wolves eating them so better enhance your gun.
Hatch some eggs. I've hatched the black ones (roosters) especially the light blue ones. The more you have them and the earlier you can have them the better. Don't hatch the pink ones yet. Sell them for $ 500 early in the game. The light blue chickens are the ones that eat eggs so you can have blue gems. Blue gems sell for $ 300 each.
You can buy the mouse which helps you to collect money. When you have sufficient funds, buy a lot of egg-laying hens. Yes, I'm referring to the yellow ones. You could also buy grey hens. You could aso purchase the feed enhancing food and the amount-you-throw food.
Just when you have at least gathered around 200+ number of blue gems (the game requires you to collect 80 blue gems), start hatching the pink ones. The pink chickens will convert the blue chickens into red gems in which you have to collect at least 50 of it. Prices of red gems vary depending on the age of the chicken. When a blue chicken is due, I think you can sell it for $ 5,000 if I'm not mistaken. But if it is converted to a red gem, it sells for a whooping $ 12,000! But how will you know if the chicken is due? Simple. Notice the font is blue when you're in the selling mode.
Pure Beauty Antioxidant Essence
I was asked by my mom to pay the electricity bill at the main office when I suddenly felt the mood to stroll around the mall. And so off I went to SM after paying the bill since it was one ride away from our house. Originally, I was planning to buy a Pure Beauty eye cream at Watsons. The store attendant, however, told me that they have no more available stocks. (Aww..) After taking some time, I bought Pure Beauty Antioxidant Essence instead which costs at around 268 pesos.
Although I haven't got what I wanted to buy in the first place, I'm still happy because I've been meaning to purchase and use an essence. I was hoping and wishing way back when I was still studying that there will be an essence that will be inexpensive. It was a bit frustrating because serums/essences would normally cost 1000 plus or higher and I think those were a total rip-off! Thank God, another wish on my wishlist was granted. I was super excited and was so eager that I used it immediately after I went back home. I could say, this essence smells great. But let me try this one if it will turn out good.
