Someone Who?

Guys may think that girls have high standards when choosing a man whom they want to be with.
 It's a fact that GIRLS ARE THE MOST COMPLICATED BEINGS; but alongside with that is the fact that we are also just simple persons who want simple things. We may get impressed with something SO GRAND; but our hearts only wants the small things that only us girls would understand.
So take time to read what I am about to say. I may not be speaking for a lot of girls when I say these, but I believe that any girl would understand what I mean. =)

"A GIRL'S WISH"

I don't need someone who has a nice car; just someone who I can ride the bus, the jeepney, and the tricycle with.

I don't need someone who is so good looking; just someone who I can look at and feel like the happiest person alive.

I don't need someone who's so mature; just someone who is childish enough to understand that I am a girl, and mature enough to understand that I am a woman.

I don't need someone who is so intelligent; just someone who I can have a good conversation with.


I don't need someone who is so popular; just someone who is proud enough to introduce me to his family and his friends.


I don't need superman; just someone who would be strong enough to protect me whenever I feel so weak and helpless.

I don't need a poet; just someone who would be willing to write me a love letter, no matter how short it may be.

I don't need a good singer; just someone who would be willing to sing me a song, no matter how out of tune it may be.

I don't need a millionaire; just someone who would be willing to make me appreciate life's simplicity no matter in what grand way it may be


I don't need a prince, and I don't need a happily ever after; just someone who can sweep me off my feet and make me want to spend my life with him FOREVER AFTER.

Korea (Day 4)

Now that it's my Semestral Break in Law School, I have decided to finally make a complete seven posts of my seven-day Korea trip Last Spring.

Day FOUR, here We Go!!

Our Fourth Day in Korea was mostly spent Shopping around Seoul; and we went around unaccompanied by our Korean Friend. First, we went around Dongdaemun since our hotel room was in Dongdaemun, and was literally beside the famous shopping malls (DOOTA, Hellp apm, Migliore, Goodmorning city). By the way, shopping malls in Korea are closed on Mondays. But when it opens, it stays open up until 5 o'clock in the morning.  

We had breakfast at Lotteria, a Korean Fast Food Chain where you can eat korean foods in "fastfood" form (cool huh?). On this day too, we have decided to experience the famous "NAMDAEMUN" market of Korea. In the Philippines, I believe this is equivalent to our "DIVISORIA" market. Anyway, in here, you will find a lot of cheap stuff, which are sold sometimes in wholesale prices. You just have to be prepared to   "MINGLE" with the crowd, and be pushed and shoved a lot. I cannot say that I enjoyed the experience ENTIRELY; but still, it was fun to buy souvenir stuff at a low price. My mom and my dad enjoyed buying stuff in here, and ended up going back to the hotel with tons of shopping bags in tow. I wasn't able to take much picture in Namdaemun since it is not really a place for souvenir picture taking, but here are some of our pics on that Day. 

 The view from our Hotel Room

Shopping at Goodmorning City (We practically bought all the clothes that we wore on that trip in the shopping malls around the hotel since my mom believes in Travelling Lightly..hehe)

 This is the Order-timing-machine-thingy whatever that is called. Anyway, it lights up when your order is ready. Amazing!

  

Bulgogi Burger!

  The Streets of Namdaemun

Me and Dad out and about on the streets of Dongdaemun (at night..yup, we were shopping the whole day hahaha!)

Another order-machine-thingy hahaha!

The owner of a Korean Store in DOOTA whom we got so fond of..Their family was so nice to us that we really went back in their store to buy more stuff! With discount, too..haha!

So that concludes our Fourth Day in Korea! Happy Shopping! hahaha!

Everything Pays off in the end (My 15-minute post)

I really do believe that in this life, we only get what WE DESERVE. It's not Karma, really; it's just getting what is due to us.

There were many instances in my life when I have experienced this. When I do nothing, I get NOTHING. But when I do something, I will also get SOMETHING in return (sometimes even BIGGER "SOMETHINGS").

There really is a higher BEING who sees what we do, and rewards us for doing them as well. Of course, if we do something bad, then punishment is to be expected.

But really, I AM CONTINUOUSLY BEING AMAZED by how things work in this world.
MY FAITH WILL NEVER EVER BE SHAKEN.

"THE THINGS THAT WE DO REALLY MATTER"

Maybe this is the reason why there people who are blessed. And when I say blessed, it does not mean being MATERIALLY BLESSED. Aha! I just got an idea about my next post! Hahaha!

--That's all for now, I have to get back to my studies! Happy Friday Everyone! =)

UNCERTAIN

"If there's one word that could describe your life right now, what word would that be?"

This question has always been asked to us, but always remains to be a hard one to answer.

Right now, I've been contemplating about how my life is as of the moment. I know that there are many words that could describe how my life is now, but if there is one word which I think would be the best, I think that that would be the word, "UNCERTAIN".

And I'm sure that this goes on to many others too. No one in this world can say that their life is CERTAIN. 

I've always said, and I have always believed that the best way to enjoy life, is to ENJOY THE UNCERTAINTY that comes with it.

This is easy to say, but is VERY DIFFICULT TO DO.

There will always be this part in us that would want to know what the future holds. Maybe because we want to be prepared, or maybe because we just can't bear the thought of not knowing what's going to happen to us the next day. In this fast-paced world that we have now, we are always being advised that we should take a breather, and appreciate the things that are going on in the present. The days pass by so fast that we would just be surprised that another year is over. 

I've always been trying to keep my focus on what's happening in the present, but I will still always keep on thinking about what I should do the next day.  Sure, I'd usually want to "seize the day", but that doesn't mean that my mind would stop and not go about what's going to happen next.

This made me think that:

"MAYBE LIVING IN THE MOMENT IS DIFFICULT BECAUSE OF THE FACT THAT WE KNOW THAT THERE WILL ALWAYS BE TOMORROW"

That's why it's hard to stay relaxed for a day; for we know that the next day may not be RELAXING at all.

Being in law school made me think that way. After a long week of studying, I would always say that I should take a day to relax and not think about my studies for a while. I would feel calm, sure, but then just as I was about to come close to the end of that day, my heart would start pounding again as I think about what's going to happen to me the following week.

I would always say to my friends whenever they ask me if law school is difficult that "It's not difficult, it's just tiresome".  I don't want to sound so arrogant, but I really believe that. It would really entail a lot work, LOTS of it i tell you!!!hahaha!! But I don't want to vocalize any negative words, so I don't want to say the word "DIFFICULT", but rather, i'd say that "It would take a lot of your time and effort". Hahahaha!! 

Being a graduate of B.S. Psychology, I have come to realize just how powerful our mind really is! 

So if we produce negative words, our mind would absorb that, and it will stick to it FOREVER! (True Story)

There have been a lot of trying times, but I would always try my best to look at these things in the MOST POSITIVE WAY THAT I COULD.  Of course it's not easy; i would not call it denial too. It is more of a matter of MINDSET. 

Right now, a lot of things come into my mind. I would like to write them all, but then it would just be too much.  So I guess what I would just like to say is  in this life, there are and will always be challenges ahead. It would make us want to quit, it would even make us cry, and it would make us want to give up. But at the end of the day, what would matter is how we would take all of them, and how we will keep everything in stride. With perseverance, faith, and prayers, no uncertainties can ever pull us down. 

I have said that:

"MAYBE LIVING IN THE MOMENT IS DIFFICULT BECAUSE OF THE FACT THAT WE KNOW THAT THERE WILL ALWAYS BE TOMORROW"

But then I've realized that it should more be of this way:

"WE SHOULD LIVE IN THE MOMENT AND ENJOY EVERY MOMENT OF IT EVEN IF WE  FAILED BECAUSE WE KNOW THAT THERE WILL ALWAYS BE A NEW TOMORROW"

See?it's just a matter of turning things around! Hahaha!!

Kudos to LIFE'S UNCERTAINTY!

Sad Movies,,,always make me cry.....

(Okay, who wouldn't cry while watching a sad movie right?Haha!)

"A walk to Remember" will always remain to be one of my favorite movies Ever!!!

Just last week, I have decided to watch this movie (for the nth time!) again. I really don't know why but I just always cry whenever I watch this film! The emotions just keep on coming back to me, as if it was the first time I have seen the movie. I can definitely say that this is one of the most heartfelt movies ever. It literally speaks to my heart and to my mind that everytime that I watch it, these systems of my body would immediately know how they would react.

Not content of having watched the movie, the following day, I have decided to read the last part of the book. And guess what? I ALSO CRIED!

Call me crazy, but this is just how good this movie is! Maybe not everybody can appreciate this movie, but believe me, IT IS A GOOD MOVIE! haha!

A walk to remember is very cliche! But it will forever be a cliche that would never become annoying!

"In Beaufort, North Carolina, a prank on a student goes terribly wrong and puts the student in the hospital. Landon Carter, a popular student with no defined plans for the future, is held responsible and forced to participate in after-school community service activities as punishment, which include starring as the lead in the school play. Also participating in these activities is Jamie Sullivan, the reverend's daughter who has great ambitions and nothing in common with Landon. When Landon decides he wants to take his activities seriously, he asks Jamie for help and begins to spend most of his time with her. But he starts to develop strong feelings for her, something he did not expect to do. The two start a relationship, much to the chagrin of Landon's old popular friends and Jamie's strict reverend father. But when a heart-breaking secret becomes known that puts their relationship to the test, it is then that Landon and Jamie realize the true meaning of love and fate. "


MEMORABLE QUOTES FROM THE MOVIE:


"Jamie: You don't know the first thing about being someone's friend.
Landon: I don't want to just be your friend.
Jamie: You don't know what you want.
Landon: Neither do you. Maybe you're just too scared that someone might actually want to be with you.
Jamie: And why would that scare me?
Landon: Because then you wouldn't be able to hide behind your books, or your frickin' telescope, or your faith. No, no, you know the real reason why you're scared? It's cause you wanna be with me too." 




" Landon: Jamie has faith in me. She makes me want to be different, better. "


" Landon: Our love is like the wind... I can't see it, but I sure can feel it. "


--- Cynics would say that this is just too cliche of a love story. But hey, love stories are not for everyone right? hahaha!!

My Portfolio

I've been trying to utilize the DSLR Camera that we've bought around 7 months ago...I am really trying to maximize all the things that I can do with it...I am really just beginning to get the hang of it so pardon me if they are so amateur.  Here are some of my sample pictures...

Shutter Speed: 1/10

By the way, my camera is just an entry-level camera, which perfectly matches me as well: an entry-level-struggling-photographer...(or just someone who likes to take pictues hahaha!!)...I really love taking pictures..because it can paint a thousand words..hahaha!! 

So it's June

Been in hiatus for a while because I can't really think of what should I be posting. Anyway,it's already JUNE!! I can't believe that it is already half of the year!!! Here in Manila, June means that  it's the start of another school year!! I know for most of my batch mates (both in High School and College), this is just another typical day at work. Well not for me; because I as well will be going to school this semester. I may sound as if I love schooling so much, but I really do! hahaha! Nothing beats that feeling of buying new school stuff, meeting new people, that sort of things.  However, I know that it's all going to be different this time, because I will not be just going to school; I'll be going into LAW SCHOOL!! whew!! The truth is, it really hasn't sinked in yet, but I know that once school starts, it will all come right back at me!

Entering law school has not really been my plan; for the longest time, my dream had always been to become a DOCTOR. But things really do happen in college; it is really where you will find where you are supposed to be heading. So anyway, it will not be for another week before I officially start schooling again, but I'm really looking forward to it! I don't know what to expect, I don't know how to feel, but I am excited about it. This will be a new  chapter in my life, and I can't wait to see what's going to happen!! Until next time!!! =)

MAKE IT RIGHT!

I have just graduated last April 1st 2011; it was a very happy moment, (and I will post about it here SOON) and just like how I have described that day: everything was so SURREAL! I don't know if it's because it felt as if everything went by so fast; or if it's because I feel like there is still no closure with my studies. It's weird right? That despite working hard for the past four years in order to gain a degree, I still feel as if it is still not enough. I have always said that I wanted to be a physician ever since I was a little girl; but things really happen in college. I guess it's really true that it is in college where you will know where you will truly belong.


 Like what I have mentioned in my post before: (click to read my post) 

"Sometimes what we thought were meant for us are actually just things that would guide us in going to the place where we really belong to". '

As of the moment, I can confidently say that my future is a tad more clear. I am now confident that I will really be heading somewhere. I know that there will be more uncertainties that would come my way, there may even be times when I would feel like giving up; but I should also ALWAYS ALWAYS keep in mind that this time, it would be different. This is really my future now; and I should do all that I can in order to really MAKE IT RIGHT!


Thank you Lord for all the blessings!!!! You always surprise me!!!!
