happy mother’s day

a friends travel

I was leisurely walking at the mall and bumped in to a friend that I have not seen for ages because she is now working abroad but is currently in the country for a vacation. We’ve reminisced all of the things that we’ve been through including all of the adventures that we’ve had. She shared her story about her vacation in Amsterdam. She told me that booking a hotel stay at Amsterdam Hotels really made her trip worthy. She was able to stay at Qbic Hotel, which is a gorgeous and sassy hotel that is suitable for her budget. According to my friend, Qbic Hotel Amsterdam WTC is the low cost design hotel of Amsterdam, with cheap rates starting from €69.00.  It has a Cubi, a cube-shaped state-of-the-art living space, which features a practical configuration, with an extra long Hästens bed, Philippe Starck design bathroom elements, LCD TV, high-speed Internet, safe and an ingenious work-and-dine set. Her features about the whereabouts of the hotel makes me want to experience the life in Amsterdam.

ring hassles

Last week, I went with a friend who was tasked to search for an engagement ring, he was given a week for him to fulfill his task. He told me that he has been around the town for 5days now, but still he has not fulfilled his mission. He said that on his 5 days search, he encountered various difficulties such as traffic hazards, pricey but unworthy jewelries and bogus blings. He has exhausted almost all of the resources and sources that he has in mind in order for him to find a ring, but still he has none. Lastly, he thought of finding the ring through the net, and it took him more than two hours until he came across a chatter who advised him to try jewelry online. Upon viewing the site, he contacted his procurer and was pleased about what he saw. He told my friend that he was caught between choosing cubic zirconia ring and diamond engagement ring. After meticulously scrutinizing both rings, he ended up choosing the cubic zirconia ring. Both of my friend and his procurer end up happy, because they sure met the deadline.

My Trip to Malaysia

After I have passed my board exam, I was given a present by my mom and it was to visit Malaysia. I’ve been planning to go on vacation on that country but for some reason it never happened, until now. I was able to visit the country where my mom is working.

I booked my hotel accommodation with HOTELS COMBINED, which was recommended by a friend of my mom. It freed me from the hassles of seeking a worthy and livable hotel. At that time, my mom and I stayed at Alpha Genesis Hotel Kuala Lumpur. The hotel offered an ultimate east and west unique ambiance. 

 On my second day, we went to The AQUARIA or also known as the Aquarium KLCC. This aquarium features over 5,000 animals of 150 species of aquatic and land animals from Malaysia and around the world. AQUARIA is opened from 11am to 8pm everyday with the last admission at 7pm. The best means of transport to come here is using the Putra LRT. Board the Putra LRT and stop at KLCC station. Follow the signage to AQUARIA KLCC and you will be there in about 10 minutes time. Admission fees varies according to age and nationality, if you’re a Malaysian-Adult it will only cost you RM28, for Malaysian Children it costs RM22, Non-Malaysian Adult = RM38, for Non-Malaysian Children = RM26 and for Senior Citizens = RM18. After feasting my eyes on aquatic life, we went to Suria KLCC Shopping Mall, which is a 5-minute walking distance from the Aquaria. It is a 1.5 million sp. feet shopping complex located at the base of the Petronas Towers. But among all of the things that the store can offer, I mostly loved visiting the Petronas Towers. It was like reliving a movie scene. According to our tourist guide the 88-storey PETRONAS Twin Towers is located at the North-west corner of the 100-acre development, the Towers standing majestically at 452 metres have been acknowledged by the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat as the tallest buildings in the world.The design, created by renowned architect, Cesar Pelli & Associates of the USA was selected through an international design competition held in 1991.The floor plate of the Towers is based on geometric patterns common in architecture of Islamic heritage. It is composed of two rotated and super imposed squares with small circular infill around the edges. The exterior of the PETRONAS Twin Towers is organised in horizontal ribbons of vision glass and stainless steel which glint and shimmer in the sun. The design of the buildings also incorporates set-back at level 60, 73, 82, 84 and 88. Attached to each Tower is the 44-storey side tower or annexe, which provides an architectural balance to the slender profile of the main Tower. These coreless annexes also provide additional office space.The Like the exterior design, the interior design patterns and materials used also reflect the national identity of Malaysia. The Towers’ entrance lobbies are showcase of the country’s cultural heritage, incorporating contemporary Malaysian motifs adapted from traditional handicrafts such as ’songket’ and timber carvings while the floor design has been laid in a popular ‘mengkuang’ weave mat design. A 58.4 metre sky bridge at levels 41 and 42 links the Twin Towers. The unique double-deck sky bridge stands 170 metres above street level with its arch support forming a symbolic gateway to the city centre. The sky bridge is opened to visitors between 8.30am - 7.00pm every Tuesday to Sunday.

On the other hand, these are only some of the great places that I have gone through during my visit. Collectively, Malaysia is a great place to visit to, it did not only diversified my cultural knowledge but it also made me appreciate the work place of my mom.

importance of a wedding ring

Just recently, I have joined an exquisite wedding ceremony of a friend. The celebration was grandiose and whimsical. However, before that “big wondrous” day was perfected, the groom almost did not have a wedding ring to use because there was none that would surpass his preference.  

On the other hand, a wedding ring is an important factor in a wedding ceremony because it symbolizes the bond of marriage. The circle of a ring represents undying love and the continually renewed vows of the married couple. Wedding rings have most commonly been worn on the third finger of the left hand. Speculation has it that this is because the Romans believed that a vein ran directly from this finger to the heart. An alternate suggestion for this tradition is that each finger on the hand is associated with a planet in the ancient systems of astrology, and the ring finger of the left hand was associated with the Sun. In this way, the wearing of a wedding ring on that finger signifies the public proclamation of the union in the daylight, in other words, the conscious and clearly visible world of human community.

Nevertheless this couple has to deal with their problem, or else, they won’t have any form of symbolism for their love. To resolve their problem they engaged into “RING HOPPING,” going to every jewelry stores that they have known, just to look for that one special groom’s ring. “Ring Hopping” did not materialize, so they turned to the internet for help and they stumble upon justmensrings and their wedding crisis was resolved. Just Men’s Wedding Rings provided them with wide variety of men’s wedding ring like tungsten, titanium, silver gold and platinum wedding bands. Above all of the rings that he was presented, he finally found the ring of his choice. And their almost impossible wedding ceremony was pursued.

my fave movie

I just can’t get over this movie. I love the characters considering that Julia Robert stars the film and Cameron Diaz is also one of the lead roles. I have watched this film for the nth time, infact I have almost memorize the lines. I even bought the OST album of My Best Friend’s Wedding.

I still can remember the first time I’ve watched this flick. I’ve seen this by my self, I can’t drag along anyone with me because during that time they were up to doing something else. So, I decided to watch it on my own. And being alone was all worth it.

It’s a story of regret, for Jule’s side. She should’ve learned how she felt earlier. She should’ve hugged Michael when she could. She should’ve told Michael how she felt. But it’s too late for her to confess because he’s going to get married and has fallen for someone else. All she is now is the "pus that feeds the fungus." But Michael was thankful about how she felt towards him. However, all he can feel towards his bestfriend, Jules, was nothing more than friendship.  

This is an example of a story of regret. How one was given the opportunity but was not utilized. A story of wasted chance. But despite the obvious remorse that the movie has shown, it has awaken the minds of its viewers to take chances and to strike the iron while its hot.

I am not so mushy, but it got the mushiness out of me. How I so loathed Cameron for fighting her love for Michael. But thanks to George, whose gender is dubious, he at least lessen the resentment that Jules felt because he may have opened some posibilities.

Thumbs up for this MOVIE!

surviving life

Ways to survive life without doing anything…

…sleep around…

 …wait till your fortune take place…

   …do nothing…

…don’t fret about what’s taking place around you…

        …gallivant, instead of going to school…

          …hang around with friends while drinking and smoking…

            …save all of the important things for later…

              …never mind what you’re elders are saying…

          …careless…

            …do drugs…

Do these, and you’ll survive in the world of NOTHINGNESS!

absolute freedom

 Absolute is synonymous to total, complete, utter, unconditional, unlimited and supreme. Freedom on the other hand, is the same as liberty, independence, lack of restrictions, sovereignty and looseness. But when these two words are combined, it creates a whole different meaning.

There are things that are absolute in this world like the water, sand and air. Comparatively, freedom is also widespread in our planet, because we are able to choose things at our own liberty. But is there absolute freedom amongst each one of us?
As what I’ve learned before, absolute freedom is non-existent, because despite the fact of freedom among humanity, we are still bounded by our human laws. One has the autonomy to reign himself, but that autonomy is duly bounded by some restrictions.

What if absolute freedom exists? If absolute freedom exists then laws won’t subsist. Our lives are merely guided by each other’s desires. With absolute freedom killing, raping, burglary, war and total chaos will happen. No one would care if you are beheaded at a busy street. No one would mind if you are being gang raped on a hall way with groups of people. No one would initiate a peace talk despite the prevalence of battles and hostilities. No one will care and no one will do anything all because they are entitled to claim their right towards absolute freedom. There will be confusion whether one’s actions are against the law or are an expression of freedom.    

Bringing back to the time of Adam and Eve, they were given everything that they need and all the things that they desire, but they were prohibited to one thing and by breaking that restriction, they have suffered eternal damnation.

Lastly, even if absolute freedom sounds appealing but if it will mean a world of bedlam, then we are better off without it.

polygamy

“In sickness and in health, till death do we part?”

Familiar statement, isn’t it? To remind you, this is part of the vow that married people swears during their matrimony. But how can they turn this promise into nothing?

Currently, polygamy has become a trend among married people. In fact, it is what we commonly see on T.V., the wife castrating her husband’s organ because of adultery, a husband being jailed because of killing a man which he caught in bed with his wife and families being destroyed because of surrendering in to the arms of evil temptations. Polygamy created a new type of family which we now call as broken, or better yet known as “broken family.” Also, single parenthood has aroused, as well as, marriage after conceiving and premarital sex.

Nowadays, people accept these trends with open arms. In actuality, some are proud of bearing their wombs to an unknown father or to a committed man, some families are now used to having extended no-blood-related families or the mistress type of extension, some families have accepted there mere extension to another families because their dad has coveted some other woman and has produced offspring that they should acknowledge and all other sad incidents that breaks the promise that binds a married couple.

If that couple could not stand their vow, why would they dare to? Have they forgotten the things that they have sworn of? What’s the use of marriage then?

Polygamy has brought nothing but chaos; it is like the world war something amongst families. So if you’re married and you’re starting to get trailed towards the road of unfaithfulness, better think twice or don’t think and live a remorseful life.

hail to the beach

Pristine waters… white and fine appealing sand… tall and enthralling coconut trees… mesmerizing aquatic life.

Ah! Beach! Doesn’t that ring a bell? Doesn’t that make you want to pack up and head to the waters? For me it does. How I am captivated with the beguiling things that the beach could offer.

The thought of going to the beach always lightens me up because being there relaxes me. The sound of the wave, the sea breeze, the sensation of salt water in your skin and the pricking heat of the sun are all the things that makes me want to come to the beach. It takes away all the stress that my city life brings, all the uneventful things that had happened turns into a laughing stock all because of the effect of the sea.

When you’re in a beach, you get to wear the skimpiest suit you have and it is acceptable. Try wearing it to the mall, when you’re in the city, and you’ll get attention but not in a good way. When you’re in a beach, you get to free your feet from any forms of shoe wear because the white sand offers you a soothing sole sensation, like you’re given a foot scrub. When you’re in a beach, you get to improve your color, from pale to a healthy tan. When you’re in a beach, you get to appreciate the simplest thing ever, from the presence of a refrigerator, so that you’re foods won’t get spoiled, to the comfy nipa or open air hut that you’ll be staying at. Also, the beach offers you a glamorous back draft, how the virgin forest, sea water, sand and stones create drama to your photos.

So for those who are aquaphillic like me, let’s pack up. And worship the beauty that the beach could offer.

Hail to the beach!

food facts

Food Facts That Restaurants Hide From You Posted Mon, May 05, 2008, 2:26 pm PDT

By David Zinczenko, with Matt Goulding

What does the restaurant industry have to hide? One of the true issues behind obesity is the fact that many chain restaurants — which provide one-third of all restaurant meals, according to the New York Department of Health — obfuscate the fat and calorie counts of their menu items, and fight any attempt to shed light on what, exactly, is going on between their buns and inside their taco shells.

Through scientific testing, consultations with nutrition experts, and good old-fashioned snooping, we uncovered some of the secrets these mega-restaurateurs have been keeping.

It’s no wonder . . .

1) T.G.I. Friday’s

. . . doesn’t want you to know the nutritional impact of any of its dishes, which they have made a policy of not revealing to customers for years, despite the fact that major competitors such as Chili’s and Ruby Tuesday’s do just that. Thankfully, new legislation in New York City forces restaurants with 15 or more branches nationwide to provide calorie counts for all dishes and drinks on their menus.

We popped by T.G.I. Friday’s the day the law went into effect and saw some real shockers: 2,270 calories for Potato Skins, 1,670 calories for Double-Stack Quesadillas, and, most appalling of all, a Pecan Crusted Chicken Salad with 1,360 calories! Now we see why they worked so hard to keep these numbers hidden.

2) Burger King

. . . doesn’t want you to know that its French Toast Sticks (which deliver more than 4 grams of fat per stick) share a deep fryer with the pork sausage, pork fritters, Chicken Tenders, Chicken Fries, Big Fish patties, hash browns, onion rings, and Cheesy Tots — and that all of those items contain harmful trans fats.

But there is hope: After the company was sued by the Center for Science in the Public Interest for moving too slowly to remove trans fats from its menu, Burger King promised to phase them out by the end of this year.

3) Red Robin

. . . doesn’t want you to know the nutritional impact of its gourmet burgers. "A gourmet burger starts by being an honest burger," Red Robin’s Web site declares — but not, apparently, a burger that will come clean about its nutrition facts.

When contacted, Red Robin’s senior vice president responded that nutritional information for the menu would be available in October 2007. As of May 2008, however, nutrition facts were still not posted on the site.

4 ) Maggiano’s Little Italy

. . . doesn’t want you to know just how many calories and carbs you’re consuming in those massive pasta portions. (As the menu puts it, "Family-style service or individual entrees are available . . . Whichever you choose, you’ll have plenty to share or take home.")

In Italy, a standard pasta serving means 4 ounces of noodles with a few tablespoons of sauce. At Maggiano’s, a large order of pasta translates into 2 pounds of noodles piled high on a hubcap-size dinner plate (15 1/2 inches in diameter). A Maggiano’s PR rep responded to our request for nutritional information a week later: "Sorry for the delay. I had to wait for corporate’s approval. Unfortunately, they have declined to participate."

5) Sit-down chains

. . . don’t want you to know that their food is actually considerably worse for you than the often-maligned fast-food fare. In fact, our menu analysis of 24 national chains revealed that the average entree at a sit-down restaurant contains 867 calories, compared with 522 calories in the average fast-food entree. And that’s before appetizers, sides, or desserts — selections that can easily double your total calorie intake.

….. im posting this article because I find this worth reading…. 

emo

Have you come across some one with a short-thick-greasy-dyed-black hair with bangs cut straight across the forehead and cut high over the ears- Or horn-rim glasses-or at least thick black frames bald head-furry face-heavy slacks, often too tight and short-thin, too-small polyester button-ups in dark colors, or threadbare children’s size t-shirts with random slogans-button the collar if you got one-clunky black shoes-scarves-gas station jackets-too-small cardigans and v-neck sweaters-argyle-anorexic thinness?

Did I cut you out of air? Sorry, but this was a description that I have stumbled upon the net. And these are the perfect (at least for me) description of the current trend that I’ve seen among teenagers. At first, I was confused as to whether they are gay or bi. I can’t decipher why they chose such hair style or the type of tight jeans they are wearing. I felt it was weird. It creep me out, they creep me out, for that matter. They can really draw attention but I don’t think it’s in a positive way. Then I’ve learned, what they are trying to mock-up is the EMO trend or The Emo Romulan look, to be exact.

Descriptively, Emo (pronounced / ˈiːmoʊ/) is a style of rock music which describes several independent variations of music with common stylistic roots. By the late ’90s, the American teen’s appetite for hardcore had somewhat subsided, replaced by a craving for semi-commercialized punk pop.

So that’s EMO. So whenever you get pass or come across someone with that look, at least you’ll have an idea what fashion they are trying to express.

im not a plastic bag

Does this bag look familiar?

For me, it does. I’ve seen it every where I go around the city. In my mind, I thought it was some product from China that is again being mass produced. Indeed, it was. Only that it was faux. I was browsing the net and known that it was a limited edition bag by Anya Hindmarch and was originally sold for $15, but now it goes for $205, but don’t fret, you can only buy it for P300 or less, anywhere where there are “tiangges.” I feel for the one who has created this bag, her rights towards originality and creativity were not served. I hope people won’t patronize this knock-offs. Coz if this will continue, people will just be copying some other person’s creation and their ability to initiate an individualized craft would slowly diminish.

what can you live without?

For us to pursue our day to day life, we have our little treasures that we can’t live without, things that we must have in order to carry out our tasks, things that makes us who we are and things that are stuck to us.

As for me, the most valuable thing that I can’t live without is my glasses. I am myopic or near-sighted (in lay man’s term), without my glasses everything are mere speck of a blur. I can’t identify objects or persons 30m beyond me. Sadly, I am often mistaken to as a snob. How can I be a snob? I’m never a snob. It’s just that I have a visual problem and I have to get closer to you in order to identify you. It’s that bad. I’ve sworn to have my eyes lasered when I get abroad. I envy those who have 20/20 vision; they don’t need to be tangled up with this nerdy item just for them to visualize things. Glasses are truly a fashion NO-NO, but as for me, it’s either I’d succumb into the trend or suck up to my eye impairment in order to see. I’m caught from choosing to be fashionably blind or a geek with vision. It’s not big of a problem. After all it won’t cause another world war whatever number, to happen. It’s no biggy, it’s just a matter of me choosing luxury over necessity or necessity over luxury.  

A number of people tend to or most often unknowingly disregard the value of their sight. Most often they try to strain it by reading in the dark or while they are on the road. How can they stand that? I have done that before and it made me regretful.

When I was in my preschool years, I really wanted to have eyeglasses, because during that time, I thought having one would make every one assume that I am smart. I’ve done everything for me to have one, until I really had one, not because I just want to sport it for me to look smart, but because I need it because things became blurry. At first it was gratifying, because I am spared from all of the excuses I have to make for me to own an eyeglass. But later on, I’ve learned about stuffs like geek, nerd, drip and bore. And these words are all related to having glasses. Slowly, my fondness for my precious eyeglasses became a dislike then eventually turned into bête-noir. It was a horror! I’d really like to be detached from this spell but unfortunately I can’t. Cautions like, “be careful on what you wish for,” are indeed factual. I should’ve yearned for something better. Anyway, thanks to contact lenses, I still can get away from being a fashion dupe. But contact lenses can’t bring you further than an eyeglass can. Wearing contact lenses is tedious; you have to have at least a 15-minute ritual before you can wear one. Aside from that, you can’t stare anyone on the eye for a longer period because your contacts will dry up. Also, you can’t face a windy spot, or else it will be blown away with it. So having contact lenses will just materialize for a short period, after that I would need to have my glasses on.

On the contrary, I am not whining about having an eye glasses on. In fact, I am grateful to the person who was able to invent this wondrous item, without it, I would’ve remained with in the restrictions of my visual capacity, which is not much. So don’t you dare say that I am a snob, I just have to wear my “spectacles” on so that I can merely decipher you.

crashed crush

Everyone in this world has been infatuated with someone, or I’d assume everyone is. Ever had that feeling of uneasiness whenever that person is around? Or mixed emotions maybe? We’ll that’s crushing, or again, I’m assuming. How would you feel when the object of your affection ends up with another person? Will you wallow? Will sulk in furiousness or sadness? As for me, neither. I’m just merely soliciting your thoughts.  

me and CS

I was browsing the net and found a “HIRING” sign being highlighted. I clicked on it, thinking that they were searching for a blogger that would post something about them. Instead, I found a job vacancy for computer programmers and one qualification states that the aspirant should be good at C++. I’ve known that program before. I’ve had a year on computer programming but unfortunately being a programmer was not my thing. I just can’t make a decent or working program. It was tough. I’ve memorized the book and yet I always end up with twisted outputs. I was brought back to my CS years. Way back, we were just few among all who were brave enough to desire a profession that’s daunting (at least for me). We’re trying to figure out mathematical stuffs, from the numbers that we have to equate on college algebra, to integral calculus and up to the highest level of mathematical bewildering equations for programs to be existent. It was tough, often times I have to edit a classmate’s program just for me to comply with the assignment. It was demoralizing. It’s as if you’re brain was non-existent. I did not know then, what part of my brain to shake for my mathematical proficiency to awake. I did try to awaken it nonetheless; it remained dormant and limited upon the simple mathematical know-how that I have to delve in. So I decided to end up my dilemma and opted for something that frees me from my incapacity. My profession doesn’t totally liberate me from equations, I still encounter numbers, but they are the type that I can handle. Most often, these numbers are directly related to life. As a programmer numbers can be edited, but as a nurse, a number would mean life, which can’t be subjected to any editing.

poor

Why are people poor?

Poverty is a very melancholic word if being discussed. It will bring about thoughts such as malnutrition, poor sanitation and all forms of inadequacy in terms of food, education, clothing and barely all the basic necessities there is.

But why is poverty existent? Who causes poverty? What causes poverty?

Why?

When one is being given birth, he or she does not have the privilege of choosing his economic status in life. There are a few who are lucky to have been born to parents who are rich. There are some who are fortunate to have an average family who can at least provide them with their basic needs. There are a lot of those who are ill-fated to live a life at the lowest end of the hierarchy. As much as those at the lowest end would want to swap lives with those who are above them, but they can’t. Rarely, only a number of those hapless individuals have successfully made it to the decent peak. But for those who were fruitless, they remain undignified by the bitter truth of poverty.

Who?

Does anyone cause his or her own neediness? In a way, we do. Even if we were born poor, we still have the capacity to work and make a living. If one chooses to utilize the talent that has been given to him, then he will harness the sweet crops of his labor. But if he chooses to lay around waiting for luck to come by, then he’d remain “foodless” and needy.

What?

We govern own lives, if we chose to be contented with whatever we have then we’d remain the same. But if we will yearn for something more, things that are practically achievable and is being worked hard for, then we will live better lives.

beauty or brains?

Beauty or Brain?

Would you want to have a beauty that could launch a thousand ships yet a brain as small as a pea? Or rather have a brain as efficient as Einstein’s but a face resembling like that of undeveloped homo-erectus specie? Will you choose beauty against intelligence or vice-versa?

If one chose beauty, then here are the advantages that I can think of. Most persons with beauty without brains tend to invest on their looks. More often they engage into pageants, modeling and other professions that would entail a pretty face but would require less of the sensible talks, they just have to shed some smiles or strut their stuff in order to earn a living. There are also those who set their sails off towards a rich man’s shore, those of the D.O.M type. They just have to flip their hair, sway their hips and bat their lashes to be able to hook a catch and in just a snap of a finger they then become Mrs. JOHN DOE the wife of a gazillionaire.

On the other hand, if you chose to be Ms. Brains then here are the advantages of being a BRANIAC. You can be a president, politician, leader, manager, doctor, lawyer or even an over achiever. At most, you can have multi professions, considering that 100% of your brain is being put to use. You can easily squeeze your way towards the success ladder because you can calmly think of ways and means to get through things.

Conversely, let’s put Ms. Beauty and Ms. Brain alongside. For example, they are both scheduled for an interview. Would you decide on having Ms. Brains for your company or Ms. Beauty instead? Ms. Brain has all of the ideas you need to improve your company but never in your wildest dreams would you want an undeveloped mammal to represent your company, so you’d turn to Ms. Beauty to entice people. For them not to doubt, for them to prefer whatever your company likes to promote, for the greater beneficence of your company. But then you just have to choose between the two of them, its either beauty or brain? Would you want your company to have over flowing ideas and concepts or would you relatively like to have an appealing company drawn by Beauty’s charisma?

As for me, it’s hard to choose amongst one of them because in any way or so they should have to be unified. Beauty can only get you as far as charming people but in terms of giving out ideas you have to have brains to bring out decent thoughts. Never the less, beauty should undoubtedly be linked with brains or else, everything will be a total wreck. Wrecked in a sense that every one will be walking around like a “Steford’s Wife,” unable to decide on oneself but oh so hands down stunning. While, a brainiac without having a decent personality is relatively like an alien in “Mar’s Attack,” striding around with their humongous exposed brains.

Lastly, beauty and brain should be placed in conjunction. If that happens then there will be a complete harmony amongst all of us. After all it’s nice to have beautiful people with exceptional brains.
