Livin’ the life!

they’ll delete your searches

you won’t get paid

they only have one person in customer service named Julie

if someone gets paid, then they must have paid you to advertise their stuff

if the guest named “Me” says he got paid but didn’t have the courage to put his name, email address or website here, then that person must be from myhpf.

myhpf sucks cos they’re just a bunch of scammers.

get your freaking numbers right

and pay people

then maybe i’d believe you

if you don’t like what you read in my blog then no one’s forcing you to read it

go somewhere else

To the Guest who babbled useless stuff here, you are a COWARD cos you can’t even give your name or website or email ad.  If you think what you’re saying is true, then what are you afraid of?

1. Einstein was sex-deprived.
How the heck did I know?  Well, he had plenty of time to study gravity, quantum mechanics, and make silly laws.  Only sex-deprived people do that.  (All this angst comes from failing Physics 73 twice and not understanding lead to failing Chem 114). LOL

2. How to compute for tax was not included in the curriculum.
This is something important, practical, and useful knowledge they could have at least taught us. Haha.

3. Glutathione is an amino acid…
… that will not guarantee an increase in bust size.  It’s a good free radical scavenger especially when coupled with Vitamin C.  Good anti-cancer stuff.  You’ll even get whiter, smoother skin!

4. They didn’t teach us how to put up with crazy colleagues.
Only how to deal with microorganisms.  How to culture them and how to kill them.  But at work, you can’t do that.  Even though microbes are multi-celled just like humans. LOL.

5. Dumb, annoying, back-stabbing people are single-celled. (note: AND not or)
It’s an insult, silly.  An insult even to our unicellular friends. JK.

6. What to wear to work.
Believe it or not, I had to scan magazines. I’m no fashionista and I had to consult our comares from the girly mags.

7. Digital is pronounced die-gee-tal.
Or that’s what our prof thought.  The funny and smart guy migrated to the US.

8. Endorphins make people happy.
“Happy people don’t kill their husbands.  They just don’t.” - Legally Blonde
Eat some chocolates or have sex and be happy.

9. Calculus can be fun.
Especially if you study hard.  And if you don’t…

10.  Better have a 20/20 eyesight or wear your eyeglasses if you really want to pass in an exam. Hehehehe.

Sorry everyone.  I was gone for a long time.  I’ve been super busy with work and something really important and I did a lot of reading.  I called it a Blog Break. LOL.
Thanks Shiela, Rocks, Jeff, and to everyone who’s left me a message.  I will have to check your sites in a bit. :)  Anyhoo, like what I mentioned earlier, I did a lot of reading.  I finished all four books by Stephenie Meyer (twilight series) and I also read Roald Dahl’s Matilda (it’s so cute)!  I’m on my fifth book now.  It’s called Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister by Gregory Maguire.  This is the Cinderella story as told by the ugly stepsister.  Pretty cool, eh?

I’ll continue writing better (and more interesting) posts later.  I have to review for something.  Big exam coming up. :(  Have a great week everyone! CIAO!

Now, I would like to pass this on to some of my friends online, namely: Kat and Rocks.

I have never read a book this fast since Harry Potter. I’m currently reading on Stephanie Meyer’s book, New Moon. I started Twilight (the first in the series) last Thursday and finished the book Friday. Now, I’m on the second helping of the series. Just like what my friend Saraah said, “It’s a cross between Anne Rice [vampire series] and Sweet Valley High.” That’s just the best description!

I read SWV during my pre-teen years and I enjoyed it. Anyway, why the heck am I enjoying these books? It’s because it helps me relax. It’s not dragging nor too emotional. It’s just right. The perfect dose of adventure and romance. I couldn’t find these books in our local bookstore but I do have the ebooks on my Palm. Thank God for technology!

Finally, the first book is being filmed at the moment and is rumored to be shown sometime before this year ends (December I think). Can’t wait!

My boyfriend and I went on a date today.  With my mom.  We took her to the mall as a treat.  We bought tickets to this local movie called “A Very Special Love.”  Really corny but it was so funny! Haha. After buying the tickets, we went to the mall’s appliance center to check some pans and glasses. My boyfriend bought my mom a non-stick pan and four tall glasses. That’s just so sweet.  Then we headed to the women’s section and I got her a new silky blouse and a pair of brown pants.  Some rude woman tried to annoy me but she didn’t win. We were in line to get our free tote and this woman suddenly pops up to tell me that she got there first.  I said, “But I was here first. Fine.”  Funny thing is, when the cashier checked her receipt, it appears that she’s not eligible to get the free bag.  So I said, “Ha Ha” as she left. Ha ha!

Anyhoo, we were planning to give my mom a new hair color in a salon called Fix but we were told that it will take 2 hours to complete the whole process (removing her old color and applying a new one).  We already bought our tickets to the movie and we didn’t have the time so we decided to skip the hair color and just go straight to the movie.  The movie (like mentioned earlier) was sooooo corny!  But we ended up laughing with the rest of the people in the movie house.

As usual, we went to Timezone to play some stuff while mom waited.  We went home afterwards and finished the night with my mom’s home-cooked meals.  Crab and corn soup and fried chicken.  It’s so yummy!  To top everything off, we had some of my mom’s fruit salad.  This weekend is so friggin’ awesome!

It was my boyfriend’s idea to take my mom out.  He does that to his mom, too.  I’m so happy I ended up with Val. <3

You do owe yourself 10 good things for being responsible and working hard this week. There’s one important person that you should not forget to reward - YOU!

1. A good night sleep - if possible, longer than last night’s sleep.

2. A trip to the mall - buy yourself a cute tee or a bigger pillow. Get yourself something, it’s pay day anyway! Remember, shopping is a great way to destress.

3. A foot spa and pedicure - Your feet brought you to so many places and it deserves some pampering, so indulge in a foot spa and pedicure.

4. A few hours in the church - As much as your body needs nurturing, your spirit needs it, too. Attend the Sunday service and get this week’s dose of spirit food.

5. A DVD or TV marathon - Watch the movies you’ve missed in the theaters or play the shows recorded in your TiVo.

6. A good book - Plunk in your favorite couch and continue reading on whatever your current read is. This is the perfect time to read stuff.

7. Your favorite dish - You absolutely deserve to eat your favorite dish, whether you buy it or cook it, what matters is that you enjoy your favorite food.

8. A day off the computer - Come on, you’re online almost everyday. Try not to check your emails at least this weekend and save yourself from worrying about the stuff that you’re supposed to do this coming Monday.

9. A good jog in the morning - “The treadmill is cool but jogging is better than using the machine,” that’s what my brother would say whenever he invites me to go jogging. So grab some fresh air and try to exercise through jogging.

10. A full body massage - After doing all the stuff above plus all the things you’ve gone through the past week, you should get a full body massage.

You don’t necessarily have to do all ten. What I’m trying to say here is that YOU deserve a break! Happy weekend everyone!

I learned how to sing and dance before I learned how to read.  Although that is the case, I consider reading as my first love.  At age 2, I’m all over my Sesame Street books (my parents didn’t know about Dr. Seuss so they gave me the “popular ones” in the Philippines).  I enjoyed reading.  I could read those books over and over.  I loved the Golden Books series when I was in elementary.  I found the Adarna books entertaining (these are mostly about Pinoy fables).  When I reached high school, I was into reading Sweet Valley High.  I got tired of the sweet stuff so I tried Goosebumps.  It got corny.  So when I reached my third year, I realized I’m ready for the spookier stuff.  I found Stephen King and I found love for the first time.  I know it’s weird.  But his works are truly spell-binding.  First off my list, The Shining.  It was a classic and I loved how he wrote the story.  I didn’t know how he could paint this picture in my head while I’m reading his works.  The next one was Bag of Bones.  I thought the book would be boring but it turned out to be a great read.  So I went ahead to find some more SK books.  The next one was Gerald’s Game.  It was a mature read because of the sex and violence in the story but as usual, I found myself reading everything.  I did find Tommyknockers very disappointing, though.  So I moved on to the next, The Green Mile.  And then there’s the Dark Half.  I went on and on.  And that was just the last two years in high school.

I’m happy I have tried reading Stephen King’s novels.  I never would’ve thought that I’d be able to read novels as lengthy as his writings.  I’m reading IT today.

So what have you been reading lately?

Val gained so much weight after we started going out and now I have to pay the price for feeding him too much.  No more steaks, lambchops, chocholate or pistacchio ice cream, or even chocolates for us.  He signed us up for a year-long subscription at Slimmer’s World.  This is getting really serious.  I am now forced to work out.  Some of you might remember that I signed up in Fitness First last year and I only got the 3-months sub (and I only worked out for a couple of times for a month).  He’s been urging me to go to the gym since Tuesday (after he got back from HK).  I finally went yesterday.  Started off with a stretching exercise then 30 minutes in the treadmill, another 30 minutes in the stairs thingamajig, then crunches, reverse crunches, obliques, push ups, abs machine, then stretching again.  I hate it.  My legs and arms ached.

Today, I went again (he insisted).  So same stuff as yesterday except that a personal trainer helped me do some power stretching this time.

I hate exercising.  Really.  I love my sedentary life.  But then again, nothing beats the hot shower after a great workout.  Hopefully, I’ll get used to this (crossing my fingers here).

myhpf tries to explain why my 66 searches had gone missing:

I don’t cheat. Period. You have to keep your records straight. myhpf people, you guys are so pathetic. You can keep the pennies. It just happens that I had a work assignment on August 3rd that required a lot of research so my searches jumped up to 66. myhpf don’t care. Especially if you’re about to reach the £20 payout target. They’ll start accusing innocent users of cheating the system.

I have nothing to do with your company anymore. I don’t want to be angered by people who makes money by cheating other people.  You can keep your pathetic money and I’ll go on with my life and focus on legit stuff.
