Mga sagot sa mga pilosopong tanong.

May natanggap akong mensahe na galing sa aking kaibigan mga ilang buwan na ang nakakalipas, itinago ko itong mensahe na to dahil nais ko siyang sagutin. Hindi ko alam kung ako’y matatawa o maiinis. Hindi naman ako KJ na tao, wala lang gusto ko lang mang-asar at mamilosopo din. (Ang wirdo noh?) At dahil ngayon lang ako nagkaroon ng panahon… Naisip kong ito na ang aking pagkakataon para sagutin ang mga pilosopong tanong na ito.

Ang lason ba pag nag expire nakakalason pa rin?
-Naisip ko lang, mayroon ba talagang “LASON” na naimbento at ibinebenta sa mga tindahan o sadyang may mga kemikal lang na nakakalason at nakamamatay? Isipin mo kapatid. Malamang lahat ng bagay na expired na ay nakakalason, ito siguro ang dahilan kaya naimbento ang salitang LASON. Sa aking palagay, wala naman talagang LASON na LASON.

Bakit pag close kayo, open kayo sa isa’t isa?
-Close, ibig sabihin ay malapit kayo sa isa’t isa at Open naman, ibig sabihin na malaya kayong nakakapagsabi ng saloobin, mga bagay na naiisip o mga sikretong nais mo lamang ibahagi sa kanya. Mayroon kasing mga salita na hindi literal ang dapat na pagkakaintindi.

Pwede bang maglagay ng dinner o breakfast sa lunchbox?
-May punto ka sa iyong tanong kapatid. Ngunit naisip ko lang, hindi naman madalas na binabaon ang breakfast at dinner sa eskwela o trabaho kaya siguro naimbento ang lunchbox dahil yoon ang kadalasang ibinabaon natin.

Kapag ang sabon nadumihan, kailangan pa bang sabunin para linisin?
-Ako’y natawa sa iyong tanong kapatid. Naalala ko ang lesson namin noon sa Primary Health Care, partikular ang paghuhugas ng kamay, sabi saamin, “Soap is an emulsifying agent that could remove dirt in your fingers with the help of friction…” ang hirap tagalugin… tsk! Siguro kailangan mo na lang itapat yung sabon sa umaagos na tubig tapos kuskusin mo ng iyong kamay. LOL!

Kapag ang ipis nahulog sa tubig na may sabon, dudumi ba ang tubig o lilinis ang ipis?
-Eto nanaman tayo sa usapang sabon. Natawa nanaman ako sa pangalawang pagkakataon. Napagaralan din namin sa Primary Health Care na ang ipis ay isang peste na nakakapagdulot ng sakit. Ito ay sumusuot kung saa-saan at nakakapagdala ng sakit kapag ang mga bagay na siyang dinaanan o nadapuan ay hindi nalinis. Kaya sa pagkakataong ito, ang aking sagot diyan ay dudumi ang tubig.

At eto pa..
If you expect the unexpected, wouldn’t the unexpected be expected? Ö

-Actually, the statement above is one of my philosophies in life. Indeed, the unexpected is the one being expected for that matter.

Sa aking mga mambabasa, sana’y kayo’y nalinawan at hindi nalito. Sa mababaw na pananaw ito’y nakakatawa pero kung babasahin mo ito, parang nais lang talagang magsayang at magflood sa text. Mga tao talaga… walang magawa, tulad ko. tsk.

3. Pantene Blogger’s Night Out- I won a chance to meet and greet Judy Ann Santos

Dianne: “Thank You!”

During the Pantene event, Rj Jimenez of Pinoy Dream Academy Season 1 performed together with his band after the program… I also had a picture with him. He’s very accommodating… We looked like were brothers and sisters. LOL!

Santan Flower

“Sabi nila, hindi ka daw naging bata kung hindi mo natikman yung nectar ng santan…”

I received that text message from a friend. Funny how I could be nostalgic and realize that I am not growing any younger.

I could still remember how me and my cousins would ruin our lola’s santan just to play with its colorful flowers. We would connect each flower and then make it as an accessory— a ring, necklace and an earring. My memory is a blurr back then, I forgot how santan’s nectar taste like. It probably taste like water. LOL!

Now, my lola’s santan is still there but I am afraid there’s less flowers now compared to the times when I don’t care of how I look like and during the times when my curiosity is at its spurt.

that's me...

that's me... with the santan earrings.

Buhay Coke Blogger Event (Part II)

This time I was present…

Good thing, though with my tight schedule, I was able to attend the Buhay Coke Bloggers Party (Part 2— Awarding of Winners) at SM Mall of Asia and I even brought my friends with me. It was their first blogger event and was excited about it. We really had a great time! Thanks to Coke, Taste Asia and SM Hypermarket.

The food filled our stomachs so well that we can barely breathe!

Lucky for us, there was a quencher to push down the food we grind.

Minute Maid, an orange juice with real orange pulps. It really taste like real oranges. I thought it was sweet that would only get me more thirsty but it wasn’t… (it’s a good thing!)

Endorsers huh?!=D

Congratulations to the winners:

4th Place – dcoyexo
3rd Place – CokskiBlue
2nd Place – komikero
1st Place – popazrael

My friends said that if we only knew that there was a contest like that, we would have joined. So the next time there will be another contest like that, we’re definitely in! LOL! We got envious of the BIG BIG prizes. =D

*The blogger event and the Beijing 2008 Olympics happened at the same time, there was a live stream projected on a big screen and LCD TV around the venue for the bloggers to enjoy. The opening was AMMMAAAAZZZINNNGG!!!

~sorry for the late post…=p

Hey, I just won a hundred bucks!!!=)

Last July 26, 2008 (the day before my birthday) I lost (or may I say stole) my money. It’s about 2000 pesos and I can’t do anything but cry. I lost it at home and I don’t know who to blame but myself. What a nice birthday gift right? I mean, 2000 pesos is a lot! It’s not easy to earn (or save) that kind of amount if you’re a student like me.

Anyway, God really moves in mysterious ways because……

I WON A HUNDRED BUCKS!

Am I lucky or what?

I literally won a hundred bucks by random pick at the Emerging Influential Blog awards night to think that I wasn’t able to attend it and there are I think hundreds of bloggers who participated. Good thing my mom and my brother were there to claim my prize. I was shocked by the fact because I wasn’t expecting anything, I just really want to participate and nominate for this endeavor. Imagine the possibilities right.

Thank you to Emerging Influential Blogs and YES I.T Corporation!!!=)
(This is of great help for me. LOL!)

I now believe in the saying “If you lost something now, there will definitely be another blessing and even bigger…”

To the one who stole my money, I doubled what you got! Hah!

Congratulations to all the winners! *CLAPS!*

*this is to blog and not to brag…

Burger King (Yehey treat…)

Who would have resisted such temptations as…

Free Wi-Fi
Free Charging (Gadgets or Cellphones)
Free Movie
Free Music
Cool Environment
Yummy Food

Well, it’s definitely… not me!

Maybe you would ask where the hell is that place? or its there such place who offers that besides your home?

Burger King is the place to be… LOL!
(disclaimer: this is not a sponsored post. hehe!)

Anyway, Yehey! sponsored a free “Have it your way” meal at any participating branches of Burger King. In our case, we have it at Timog branch. According to the manager, our family was the first bloggers to go there. Thank You Yehey and Burger King Timog!

So, I happened to order their newest Steakhouse burger (you can choose from classic or the loaded), which is packed with Angus beef, melted cheese, crispy onions, lettuce and tomatoes, plus the Burger King’s special steak sauce. It struck me because of the big advertisement in their menu. LOL!

One thing I noticed at Burger King is their fun way of presenting their reminders for their costumers.

Also, what makes Burger King sentimental to me was, it was where I first ever lunch as a college nursing student in their former Morayta, Manila branch (it is closed already).

We gonna party coz its my BIRTHDAY!

I kept telling myself that I live in a monotonous way. Every day is exactly the same but what is so special about today? Well… I just turned a year older today and definitely, it is not the same as yesterday. I was given another year to spend my life with my loved ones— with everybody, another year to be better and another chance to make things right.

I want to make this post somewhat unique but I can find ways on how to do it. A year ago, I didn’t have my debut because I have tight schedule in school. I was busy having my duty and taking care of a post-CVA patient at FEU-NMRF hospital. I was feeding him, cleaning him and changing his diapers nevertheless, I felt fulfilled because I have helped and I was able to give care to others. I had my post-birthday celebration with my classmates and cousins and it was also fun…=)
