"The New Ipad"

Yey! Finally, i have my new ipad. I'm so glad that I decided to to get the new ipad instead of Ipad 2. It is so much better. Thanks to my bro because he shouldered paying half of it. I'm actually blogging right now using my new Ipad and It actually feels much better to blog.  Yey! I also think I'd be blogging more now that I have a new Ipad. The most amazing thing about the new Ipad is the resolution. This Retina Display that Apple was bragging is actually not disappointing me. The pictures are so clear and so reach that is much more fun to read articles and look at pictures. What can I say, I'm just so happy. For you guys who are thinking about buying a new Ipad, I would say go for it.  You guys would not be disappointed.

The Vision of Love Official Video

Here is the official music video of Kris Allen's new single The Vision of Love. Lurve it!

So, I have always imagined that when i see an ex-boyfriend/fling, I'll be at my best outfit and I'll be at my prettiest. But of course, things happen the opposite way. I saw that someone, today (unfortunately it was too late fo me to hide myself). Regretfully, I haven't really combed, put on make up yet when I saw him. I am very sure that he already saw me first. Bad trip. I really wanted him to see when I am all pretty and cute so that he would regret why he did not pick me. BTW, he was with his girlfriend who happened to bumped me (she said sorry..whatever!).. Grrr.. I am so disappointed with myself.

the final countdown

So here it is, the final week of being an SSC agent. I have spent almost six years of my life with SSC and 6 years and 3 months with Teletech. It is a little unbelievable that after Friday this week, we are SSC no more. But to be honest, I am not SAD..not at all.. I am actually, excited!!! I'm excited to bum around and watch kdramas all day..(thank you kdrama gods for this coming oppurtunity. ) hehehe.. I am also excited for the future, for the new opportunities and new experiences that  am about to face. I am excited to meet new people, do something new and hopefully do something worthwhile. I am not worried at all, not even one bit.. Lol!!! Is it wrong not to feel sad? I mean it is the end of an era.. (did I say 6 freaking years!) I guess I'm really fed up with SSC and all its excess baggage that I am so ready to move on. NO MORE DRAMAS!! woohoo!!! I cannot be any happier.. :)

So here is to a new chapter of my life that is about to start. Wherever this may lead me, I am sure that it is going to be a joy ride!!! CHEERS!!!

I Won't Give Up

Yey! A brand new spankin' Jason Mraz song accompanied by an awesome music video. I love the song. It's simple and heartfelt which is one of the things he is good at.  Below is the official music video. Prepare to be in love.. :)

My baby is back!!!!

Kris Allen is back!!! And with new awesome songs!!! (happy dance!!!). I've been watching youtube videos of hs recent LA gig where he sang new songs. The songs will be inluded in his up coming second album. And did I already said the songs are awesome?! I cannot really wait for him to have a new hit and people to hear his awesome songs. Here are some of the songs that I love, love, love....


Title:  Vision of Love

I know, the title's a little cheesy but if you would listen to the entire song, you would definitely love it. It reminds of The Fray a little bit but then again I love The Fray. My favorite line is "I don't wanna run, I don't wanna hide when someone needs somebody. I don't wanna say I don't have the time when someone needs somebody.." You see it is kind of this inspiring song that you would want to listen every morning.

Title: Better With You

I really love this song next to Vision of Love. It's just one of those simple love songs that makes me want to burn it in a CD and give it to that one special person (weee). Hearing it acoustic is just lovely. I hope that the studio version is just as simple as the acoustic version because this could be a hit! My favorite line is the chorus "Wherever I go, Whatever I do, Stay by my side cause baby it's always better with you."

Title: Leave You Alone

I have heard this song last year when he was still on tour. I think he co-wrote the song with his bestfriend Cale Mills. I definitely liked it then, but let me just announce that I love this song now. I'm glad with the changes they made and it made it more heartfelt. I hope it will be included in the new album. My favorite line is "the only way this stubborn heart knows how to do is fight..". Simply heartbreaking and i love heartbreakig songs.

Those three are my favorites as of the moment. There were I think five more new songs he introduced that night. I cannot wait for the new album. I'm so excited!!! For all the other Kris Allen fans out there, I've included the below mash-up video of the Rihanna, Katy Perry and Lady Gaga songs that our beloved Kris did. Enjoy!  :)

Otokaji?!

We have been advised 6 months or so ago that our account will not be renewing its contrtact for the year 2012. It was decided that the department I am in will be transfered back to the US. I have decided at that time that I will stay until March which is the last month of the contract. After that I have decided that I will resign and look for a job and move to a new company.

March 02, 2012 is now near and I still do not have any solid options. I am still unprepared and still contempalting is I should still stay or resign. Ayway, it is really my fault for being lazy. I should have looked for a job even before February starts so that I have some options by now. The thing is, I really do not want to be stuck in my current company while everyone else has already moved on.

I just realized that I have already spent 6 years of my life in this company. It is really time to move on, make new friends and make my dreams in to a reality. But the problem is I do not know where and how to begin.. OTOKAJI????

I got to spend some time with my college friends last Saturday. Even if I did not sleep any wink at all, I did not cancel on them and still pushed through with Lola's birthday celebration. It was nice to be with them for a change. As much as I love my work friends, it gets a little tiring to be with them all the time. In addition to that, I realized I should spend some time with my other friends.

It was fun to be with them. Of course I got drunk and bumped my head (but I'm fine). I told my friends I did it so that there will be a funny story we can talk about afterwards. Lol!!

Ok. Here are some of the pictures with my college friend.. love them to pieces..

my first plant for 2012!

Yey! My friend Rona just gave me a plant! As I have mentioned previously, one of my resolutions for 2012 is to take care of a plant/plants. I have been bugging her about where to buy a pot of plant, that she gave me one instead (courtesy of Mrs. Jabonitalla of course). I think she gave me one so that I could just stop bugging her. :) So now, I think I'm gonna bug Kitz so that she'll give me one as well. Operation Bug Kitz will be in full motion tonight! LOL!

Talipanan Beach, Puerto Galera

This Puerto Galera post is long overdue. :)

When people say Puerto Galera, we immediately think of the famous White Beach. It is like,IMO, the fake Boracay of the Philippines. I have been there twice already and eversince I have experienced Boracay and the other beaches of our country, I have never looked back. So when the Quezon plan for our Thanksgiving off was shattered in to pieces, I did not think of Puerto Galera as the alternate destination. But since I was already slightly pissed off, I just said yes when my only companion for the trip said we should try out Talipanan Beach of Puerto Galera. I'm glad I said yes and did not decide to stay at home for four effing days..

My friend manage to make a reservation to Lucas Miramare. It was an Italian restaurant in the island first but they decided to have a small lodge as well.

Since Talipanan Beach is nothing like White Beach at all (no loud music, no teens getting drunk and being rowdy and not too many tourist) all Sam and I did was swim, eat, take pictures and appreciate the scenery.



someone told us that this was Ayala's beach house *envy*


And did I already tell you all we did was eat Italian food which is like my favorite food besides Korean food and Filipino food..




breakfast with a view ;)

Tanduay Ice moment again with a view

I cannot remember the type of pizza

Sam with the huge serving of Pasta Marinara

I remember being so full (that I felt like I was dying) every after meal. I wanted to smoke so bad every time we finish a meal, but since I quit smoking already, I did not bring any. It was a good thing though..

It was a great experience. The beach, food and the location was awesome.

no more fatty me..

So, I have been doing Zumba in the privacy of my room since Tuesday morning. I decided to do it since I have gain so much weight after chowing on delicious food last Christmas and New Year.  Since I don't have the money to enroll in a gym, I thought why not go on YouTube and seach for Zumba. Whalllla! There are a lot of Zumba videos that you can choose from. Of course I chose the hip-hop ones that will burn my fats more.

It has been four days and I feel like I have lost weight already. I will definitely continue doing Zumba on my own until I loose all this fat! I don't want to be a fatty in March, on my birthday, in Singapore! Hell no! hahaha..

I will buy me a weighing scale this weekend so that I will know my progress, and of course this blog will be my weight loss diary. Lol!!!

PS: If I continue to do this, I will be successful in attaining one of my resolutions for 2012! Aish! :)

2012 Resolutions

I am a terrible blogger. I have not updated this blog since November 2011. I have a couple of trips that I have been meaning to blog, but was too lazy to even start. This year is going to be different. This year will be my year to improve myself for my own good. No more doing things for others and no more lazy ass. LOL.

So here goes my resolutions for 2012.

• Take care of a plant/plants. I don't know why but since 2012 started, I have been thinking that it will be a good thing for me to take care of some plants. Work friends Rona and Kitz would give me two flower pots next week. The plan is to see if by the end of 2012, the plant are still alive. This would also improve my TLC skill.
• Blog atleast three times a week. :)
• Exercise more. I will not be fat ass Amie!!!
• Learn something new. I haven't decided what it would be yet, but will definitely do it this year.
• Become a more giving person. 'nuff said

I hope to cross out all of them by the end of this year. Aja!!
