Random Blogging

Random Blogging


I have been trying really hard to blog about something all throughout the week. But whenever I see the big white box and that stupid blinking cursor waiting for the words to come in, my mind goes even more blank than it already is. Pretty frustrating. So I have decided...to blog about whatever because whenever I blog about whatever I usually come up of something really random. And random blogs are fun to make because you just type in whatever comes to you and then voila! Instant blog post!


So....I have been spending a lot of fun time at Twitter. I used to think Twitter is nonsense but since I signed up last May (Thank you for influencing me Nade and Mark!) I've been twittering like crazy. Twitter is cool. You can tell everyone what you're doing every minute of your life and people can't do anything about it because that's what you're supposed to do. It's so unnecessary...so expendable..irrelevant....and I love it! So if you have one follow me. If you don't, go make one so you can follow me. =D


Anyway, prelim exams this week. I already took Kasaysayan last Monday and today I had Software Engineering and Systems Analysis and Design. They were okay. Probably won't get the best grade but whatevs. Haha! Geez, someone motivate me! Goodness I've been feeling mega lazy ever since Uni started last June. I feel so uninspired. It's like "Oh whatevs. As long as I pass then I'm cool. ". Sad. Tomorrow I have Internet/Web Applications which is my ultimate favourite subject this semester. I just love it! WebApp is kind of like my zone. Kind of. Then on Friday I have Physics. Yupppp, save the freaking best for the last. Because you know...I love Physics.


I've finished reading Angels and Demons yesterday. It was, as I expected, better than the movie (Not that the movie was bad. I reckon they made a pretty good job at it!). Okay people, this is what you have to keep in mind. If a novel is going to be made into a movie DO NOT. I repeat, DO NOT expect it to be better than the book or to be as good as the book because you will end up with a very broken heart. It's just NEVER going to happen. That's just the way it is. So don't effing whine about how they ruined Twilight or Harry Potter(pick a number from 1 to 6) or New Moon or whatever. Because the film makers will not be able to make the movie just like the novel. That's just the way it is, okay? But I digress! So Angels and Demons....I now declare it as one of my favourite novels. Once you read it you won't stop until you get to the end. Very captivating! I saw the movie a couple of months ago and I obviously already know who the "Illuminati leader" really was but while reading the novel I couldn't decide whether the suspect was really the suspect! There were moments wherein you'd think that this person's the culprit then the next page would totally blow off your guess. Dan Brown's one smart man. Love it! One of the things I loved about the novel is its ending. Far more intriguing than the movie's! And one of the things that I loved about the movie is Camerlengo Patrick McKenna. If all priests looked like him I would go to mass every Sunday even though I'm not Catholic. HAHA! Sorry...Ewan McGregor always had this effect on me....he's just .

ANYWAY, I'm now looking for new novels to read. So far, I have The Da Vinci Code on the list. I'm going to start reading as soon as the exams end. Any suggestions people? Suggest something that I can borrow from the library or something you can lend me coz I don't have the financial ability to buy a book at mo. Hahahahaha!



Well will you look at that. Instant blog entry! And mind you an extremely long one! Told you! This entry may not make much sense but at least I have an entry.

GOD BLESS.


P.S.
How cool is the word Illuminati and camerlengo? I love saying those words. Illuminati. Camerlengo.
Illuminati. Camerlengo.

Malaysia 2009

Malaysia 2009


Possibly the longest entry evarr (No kidding!) with lots of photos. I'm sorry. I couldn't decide which photos to include! I totally feel what Bianca Twitted (Twitted?!) a few weeks ago! Sorry. So yup, Malaysia trip. Tried to lessen the amount of photos but this is the best I can come up with. Haha! Click images for extremely larger versions. =D

So we took a bus from Singapore to Malaysia. It was one flashy bus, comfy seats and all! Plus they had a TV thingy at the back of the seat just like the ones in a international aeroplanes. Pretty neat. I wanted to play Super Mario (the one and only video game that I like!) but I was so freaking tired that I slept all throughout the 6 hour ride! Well, Kuala Lumpur reminded me so much of Manila. The weather, the place, the atmosphere even the traffic jam except the people maybe. Lots of foreigners!


Photo 1: Arrived at Kuala Lumpur at about 3am. The bus station was freaking isolated! We didn't have a booking at a hotel so we had to stay at the bus station and look for one.
Photo 2: Sister and I somewhere in Bukit Bintang.
Photo 3&4:Therefore, I conclude that Philippines has the best KFC on earth! Malaysia's KFC is nothing compared to ours. They had weird tasting rice and the chicken isn't as juicy as ours. AND most of all they didn't have the infamous KFC gravy. I asked one of the crew for gravy, she gave me this weird look then proceeded to give me the gravy.

Photo 1: At KLCC!
Photo 2: Having merienda at Dunkin Donuts. It's good to know that their donuts are still of normal size =D. The ones here in Philippines have shrunk down to 50% AND they still had the nerve to add 1peso to the price.
Photo 3: I'm doing the pogi sign in most of my photos in our Malaysia trip...but it has a deeper meaning. I'm doing it because during the trip I started getting headaches plus diarrhea which are symptoms of the A(H1N1) virus. So I researched about it and I'm like "Geez. Headache? Check! Fatigue? Check! Diarrhea? Check!" HAHA! The pogi sign is actually a Diarrhea?Check! sign! Hahaha!
Photo 4: Mom likes to take "candid" shots. =))

Photo 1: Of course...what's a visit to Malaysia without visiting the Petronas Twin Towers?
Photo 2: Apparently, tickets for that day were sold out! So we're like DAMNNNNNN. But this Indian (?) man came up to us and told us he had two extra tickets and offered it to us. Mom stayed behind since, well, there were only two tickets plus she's already been there!
Photo 3: At the Skybridge!
Photo 4: A view from the bridge?Cute noh?
Photo 5: After the Sky Bridge visit.
Photo w/ no number: Haha! Forgot to number! Anyway, that's me and my sister at comparing our heights to the famous towers all over the world via this machine thingy. Haha!



The man with the arrow is the man who gave us his extra tickets. Bless him! ^_^


The Petronas Twin Towers. Absolutely breathtaking at night. It glows! So cute!

Heading back to the guest house from KLCC. Mom's checking the map. And look who I saw in the streets of Kuala Lumpur....Wu Chun! Hahaha!


That's me obviously with Shareeta (middle) and her cousin Rishni. Shareeta's an old friend from intermediate school. She now lives in Malaysia. Anyway, I met up with her. We had donuts at Pavilion and then had drinks and sisha somewhere in Bangsar.


We went to Batu Caves! Seriously awesome place. Upon your arrival you are greeted by a golden giant Hindu idol and heaps of pigeons! It's like a scene from the movie Milan minus the golden idol!


You have to climb 272 steps before actually getting in the temple.


Got to the top and there was this man who had a snake. I was instantly drawn to the creature! I love snakes! Super cool creatures! Hahaha! Dad has a pet snake and he refuses to bring them to us whenever he visits us. =\ Anyway, I had to pay 5 ringgit for the photo session with the snake. Haha!


There at the top mocking you...after climbing 272 steps you are greeted by more stairs inside. Yup. Totally cool. I was sweating profusely! Plus there were tons of insects! Mosquitoes I suppose. When we got back down I had like millions of insect bites and itched all over. There were other places that I wanted to go to but Mom wanted to get out of the place as soon as possible. I guess the snakes, lizards and monkeys made her uneasy.


Stuff you'd see inside. I kept humming Jai Ho the entire time we were there! AHAHAHA!


My sister was very much amused by this idol. As well as everyone who has seen this photo. I think it's the boobs? Haha!

The toilet. I was like O_O. Kind of awkward and uncomfy but whatevs.


Do not remove the wabcam daw! Hahaha!



Ga Eul and Yi Jeung! I saw this at 7-11. The crew looked at me weird when I took this photo.

Monorail. Kind of like their version of MRT I guess. It's a lot like our MRT system. Haha! They used old school MRT cards just like here in the RP. As of now, I prefer this over the confusing Singaporean MRT system. Haha! Geez. Next time I go to Singapore I'll find someone who can tutor me about their MRT system! Haha!


Walking around the streets of Bukit Bintang! It's nice to walk around there especially at night! Visited Starhill which was maily consisted of high end stores so I didn't buy anything. I was contented looking at all the pretty expensive things the stores sold.


RANDOMS
  • So when we were trying to find our way to Batu Caves we asked this random cab driver if he could take us to the bus station and he was like "Okay, 30 ringgit." And of course we knew that he was OVERPRICING hardcore so we left and then he started running after us and said "Okay 25 ringgit!" and of course still waaayy overpriced so we ignored him and continued walking and then he goes "20 ringgit!" still ignored. And then he goes again "15!" STILL ignored him! And then AGAIN "Okay okay 10 ringgit" I finally shot him a You-are-an-asshole-for-trying-to-rip-off-tourists look and he finally backed off. What an assholeeeee! 30 ringgit for a 5 minute walk!
  • The night we arrived in KL I met this Russian guy at the first guest house we inquired at. He asked me where we are from then when he found out I'm Filipina he started speaking in Tagalog. Well, phrases and stuff. You know Magandang umaga, kamusta ka, mahal kita etc. Haha! Totally adorable. He told me he used to work in Dubai and he had lots of Filipino co-workers who taught him a few Tagalog words. Apparently, he has been in Malaysia for about three months AND has visited quite a number of Asian countries such as Thailand, Vietnam, Singapore etc. I think his next visits are Australia, New Zealand and then the Philippines. What a lucky guy!
  • As some of you might now we missed our flight back to the Philippines so we stayed in KL for another three days. Harhar!

Polyvore Fun!

Polyvore Fun!





I'm having so much fun in Polyvore! It's like playing dress up without actually having to dress up. It's so fun! Although the fact that I don't have the stuff in my sets in real life makes me a bit sad it's still fun! Haha! Anyway, that's my third set right there. I made it for this style challenge/meme which asks you to create an outfit with tshirt and jeans. Don't you just think that the shoe is adorable? And obviously I'm a bangles freak. I don't really have much bangles in real life though since the ones that I really fancy are either too expensive or too huge! Anyway, if anyone else has a Polyvore account I'd love it if you leave your link so I can visit it. =)

I'm a a couple of chapters away from finishing Mammon Inc. by Hwee Hwee Tan. The plot isn't that great but I love the way how the author wrote it. It's very witty! Very fun to read...well for me at least. I was actually supposed to return this to the university's library last Friday but I was with my friends and you know how we all get when we're with friends right? Suddenly, it's all laughter and fun that you tend to forget almost everything! In my case, I forgot that this was due last Friday so now I have an overdue book and I'll have to pay 10 pesos to the librarian tomorrow. Oh well!


Monday tomorrow. =)
University tomorrow. =D
Physics tomorrow. :|

GOD BLESS! =)
