Today is BAday.

I always don’t plan things on my birthday. I just let it happen. And if someone loves me enough, something does happen on my birthday. But I doubt that would happen now. Also, it sucks now that today I’m down with the flu and I still have an exam in the afternoon.

Today I welcomed the fourth of April all by myself. I waited for the clock to strike 12 to find that everybody in the house is sleeping. I logged out of Yahoo Messenger, Gtalk, Multiply, Plurk, Facebook, Twitter, whatever, so that I shall (for now) deprive people the convenience of easy electronic greetings. Hehehehe. Let’s see if people will go the extra mile.

LalalaLOVE!

I haven’t really been waiting for Christmas to arrive. I don’t obsessively indulge in the Christmas countdowns, counting every day, hour, minute, second. But, I do wait until the clock strikes 12.

And when the first minutes of December 25th do arrive, I immediately greet the people who are truly truly close to my heart: my beloved family who have always been there for me.

And of course, I say a little prayer to Jesus, who’s birthday we’re celebrating. After all, He’s the real reason for the season, right?

Why are we celebrating in the first place?

Why is it called CHRISTmas if it wasn’t for the one we call Christ?

And where would the one whom we call Christ, our Lord and Savior, come from if it wasn’t for God and His love?

In the end, everything boils down to one word, and that word is LOVE.

It is because of God’s extremely overflowing love that we are celebrating. Because of His love there is you, and me, and Jesus, and everybody! Because of His love, there is Christmas!

It’s just right that in whatever way we can think of we give back and also share the all love we received. Sabi nga nila Michael Jackson diba, “give love on Christmas day.” Heehee.

It’s that time of the year when you can give people love without being that awkward.

So, here’s me doing my part: I love you all!

Most especially, I love You!

Thank you all, for everything.

Have a lovely and blessed CHRISTmas everyone!

Ang Aking Kabataan.

Dahil gusto ko alalahanin ang aking kabataan, dinekwat ko ito kay Tina. HAHAHAHA. Panalo. Ang meme nasa ilalim ng jump.

Sasabog na ang tiyan ko!!!

Currently am in Five Cows, in Trinoma. It’s our last stop in SpotPh’s Blogger food tour.

Gosh. Konti na lang sasabog na tiyan ka! HAHAHAHA. Wala pang kalahati ng 19 restaurants, busug na busog na kami.

Detox Day

After the hellish ordeal last night (which I wasn’t able to blog about since it revolved around my PowerBook’s keyboard drowning in mango juice and dying on me), I had quite a nice day. Hahaha.

Temporarily on our not-so-brand-new Mac Mini from Ynzal. ^_^ It rocks. Period. Though it’s only second hand. Hahahaha. Leopard, baby!

TOSH with Mom, brothers and a friend. Mmmm. Chicken and mushroom.

Seeing me sulking about the death of my keyboard, Mom promised to buy me an ASUS EEE. A pink one! Have no idea what it is? Google, my friend. Google.

Went to Nail Treats with a friend. Ahhh. Pampering. Foot spa + pedicure.

DVD watching at home.

Just don’t remind me my PowerBook’s keyboard doesn’t work and I’ll be fine.

EDIT: Hi Cai!!! Nakakahiya, nakita mo akong nagsisigaw. Hahaha

Detox

Lunch was wonderful. Thank you. You know who you guys are.

Most especially, thanks to the big Dude above.

All my bags are packed…

Yee-haw! Laguna, baby!

Leaving for Laguna in a few. I was promised free wireless access there. Yee

I Have the Bestest Friends, Ever!

I wasn’t really expecting something for my birthday. I didn’t plan anything either. Turns out that people were planning something for me!

And of course, I was deeply touched.

I had fun, really. Though the clues that they posted around my house led to no material gift. I found myself running around the house only to end up locked in my sisters’ room so they could prepare their surprise attack in my apartment. HAHAHAHA.

Ooooh… Colorful electrons.

I’ve been tinkering with my brothers’ Rubik’s cube for a while. Ever since I independently figured out how to do the first layer, I just had this desire to finish the cube. I finished my first 2×2 cube last Thursday night, and my first 3×3 on Friday night with the help of Vince, Bingot and Chato.

Now, I’m still in the process of learning, and finding the logic and arithmetic behind the algorithms they provided me. So to make things a bit somewhat easier, besides giving names to the moves that I do, I imagined the cube as one atom with different colored electron. I imagined that solving the cube was like looking for the electron configuration of that atom.

It was like moving the electrons around, filling in each layer, each side, each configuration before I get to the final state of the “atom.” HAHAHA.

I’m being brainwashed. Tch.
