It's a site that i made for expressing my opinions, my experiences and my knowledge through my everyday struggles and happiness.
Enjoy Reading!
I am a BA Communication Arts student and being a student of the said course requires the ability to write personal narrative essay, Essay Thesis, research papers, term papers, etc., Not only we need to write but it is a must that we should write with quality. Of course, on college years, there are professors that require a lot of paper with high expectation and it is not new that at some time deadlines of those papers assigned by those professors meet and so, you would have a hard time doing papers for different subjects at a short period of time.
Based on my experience way back when i was a freshman, i really had a hard time cramming just to pass two papers on the same day and i only have an overnight to do it. The result? I both failed to have a good and comprehensive paper. That was too bad and too exhausting having no sleep just to finish a ten paged paper and a research paper. Good thing i recently found a site on the web that provided me Essay Writing Tips that would surely help me have a paper that would meet the high expectations of my professors and i would not again get a low grade with my papers.
Hmm… what happened recently that I haven’t got the chance to check my mail and have a post here? It’s just that I got busy… I often go home late and if I got the chance to peep on the web at school using the wi-fi, i just have enough time for checking my mail and viewing my friendster profile, beyond that, it’s over, time for another subject. Too bad. But, thank God, I had the chance to post an entry here cause it was surely a long time since I last posted. HELLO to the people who visited my space when I am not on line and thanks to you for not forgetting to drop at my space.
Well, recently, uhm, I mean few weeks ago, we had our acquaintance party at Felis Beach Resort somewhere at Matina Aplaya. It was really not SOOOO FUN but it was worth-it I may say. For the small amount that we paid, we had great time swimming with my classmates and course mates. On that event I was able to bond with a course mate that i didn’t imagine I would have fun being with. It was indeed a fun and exciting day… I’ll post pics later on.. J so, bye for now! I have to pee.. I’ll just update you as soon as I would have the chance again to post here. 
(A) Four places I go over and over:

(C) Four of my favorite places to eat?
-> Mc Donald's (hm...coke float!), Street (for streetfoods), KFC (for their fries), Dencias (lugaaaaaw and tokwa't baboi!)
(D) Four places you’d rather be?

Few days from now, ngit and I would be celebrating our 16th month. I always tell him I didn’t expect this to happen yet I’m so thankful that I had him. *wink* hmm… and he also had the same perception as I do. We both didn’t expected this relationship to work this long because we started it wrong (if I may say). We had hurt people on our way to this yet we managed to surpass the dilemmas and all. Yes, of course, arguments are common but thank God each one had the courage to go on and nobody let go of each one. I may say I am so lucky to have someone who spoiled not only me but also my family. I am so blessed to have someone whom I can count on all the time and someone who cares and accepted me as I am. J Advance HAPPY 16th! :-P
I received a text message from my best friend Shaira as I was doing a blog entry that I would be posting for tomorrow. I decided to have that posted here because I know that people out there would be able to relate with it…somehow, like I do. J and the message was:
“People hate me for being a heartbreaker. They say I am a LIAR. They call me a CHEATER. But what they never knew is that before I had this attitude somebody broke me too.”
I can really relate to it because it reminded me of what I am way back. A girl who’s not contented of what she has, a manifestation of hurt that people caused me, a mark of unhappiness… But, I had changed, become more mature and realized my mistakes. Thank God someone made me see the right thing. And that proved to me that downfalls and distresses that we encounter each day is plays a great part for us to be sturdy and that God has better plans for us…even the BEST.
Today’s my elder Brother’s birthday but it was just like the other day except for the fact that it’s my brother’s birthday and the once-in-a-lifetime kare-kare that my grandmother had prepared. It was really an unusual birthday because we hadn’t seen him that long on that day. He went home on lunch time and left home few hours after he arrived home and again went home late night. Phew! That was quite a tough schedule…just like the other Sundays we had…special yet ordinary day.
I am so excited for an upcoming puppy that I would adopt—an all white female puppy. I have no choice but to adopt a female dog because I want my pup to be all white, I know my grandma wouldn’t agree with the gender of the dog with the reason that when it gets old it gives birth to a number of pups and we can’t accommodate a number of them. Well, I’ll just convince her and I know when I bring the pup home she can’t do anything but to just take care of it. J he he… I still don’t know what name would I give this tiny and cute little creature. Maybe you can suggest a name for her. I took a picture of the pup that I would be adopting and maybe from that picture you would help me decide a name for her. She’s still few weeks old here and see how cute she is.
I feel so bad. I feel sad. I feel useless…
I feel useless because I can’t do anything to help out people. I feel sad because my mom has to leave us again but I understand the reasons. And I feel bad because there’s a person out there who makes me feel I’m useless…and hopeless. Too bad that person was one of the people I care a lot. Too bad that person’s too important… is it my fault that I don’t have that much maturity or experience to deal with that kind of problem? Is it? I’m so sorry for being stupid for not having answers most of the time. But let me tell you, I’m trying my best to help you yet I’m sorry if it wasn’t enough and sorry if you weren’t able to see and feel it. SORRY!
Surfing is a surface water sport in which participant is carried along the face of a breaking wave, most commonly using a surfboard.
On history, surfing was part of the Polynesian culture in which the chief would display their authority by demonstrating their ability on surfing. It was the basis to measure their capability on leading the group. The board used by the chief is made from the best tree because as a head of the group they surely deserve to have the best board to enrich their talent on surfing. Up to now, surfing is a well-known sport all over the world especially those with beautiful beaches and shoreline.
There are two major subdivisions within the contemporary stand-up surfing reflected by the differences in surfboard design and riding style of longboarding and shortboarding.
Longboarding usually uses a longboard and is primarily a single finned surfboard with large rounded nose and length of 9–12 ft (2.7–3.7 m). Noseriders are a class of longboards which enable the rider to walk to the tip and nose ride. While on the other hand, shortboarding uses a variety of surfboards within five and seven feet in height and with a pointed nose and a rounded or squarish tail.
I had learned a lot and had enjoyed looking for information on surfboarding that makes me wanna buy surfboards online. Wait I’ll check out for those after this.
cute ayt? ehehe..

Yeah! We just had our Samal escapade last May 20—my debut. It was indeed a moment that I wouldn’t want to forget because aside from it’s the day that I am no longer a child, it was really fun and exciting and it wouldn’t be possible without the help of my friends and loved ones. J
And so, I wanna take this opportunity to thank the people behind the successful and memorable party.
Special thanks to my mom and tito who provided me the funds for the event, to my grandma who spent time and effort cooking the food even she’s not feeling well and even without the electricity, to my sis in law who lent me funds and tupperwares, and who paid the entrance fee and additional transportation, to ya mac and papa for the venue, to shaira and jay2 for the drinks and for coming despite the distance, to all those who came, to the all people who greeted me… and another big THANKS to ngit who helped me on the preparations and all…and of course thanks for the gift! hihi…
Love yah all! J MWAH!
Today is my birthday! My 18th birthday! :Þ and SAMAL is waiting for US!
“Pa, have you seen my birth certificate?” and I asked the same question to my grandma… “Have you seen or kept my birth certificate lola?” They both answered they haven’t seen it nor kept it. :c and I don’t even have an idea on where would I start searching for the lost certificate. I badly and desperately needed it for me to be able to claim my ATM card.
I was on my mother’s room searching for the lost document when the lights turned off leaving me on the dim lit room barely seeing the thing inside the bed drawer where I was searching. The electricity was out. It was unpaid for a few months and the disconnection warning slip was given two days ago. So, today, it was out…all out… it made this day disappointing, I cant find the missing document and that means I cant get my ATM card, and the most discouraging part was tomorrow is my birthday and I am planning to celebrate it at the island of Samal for a “pahabol” summer party and at the same time my debut. So, how would I prepare the food without the light? I planned to go to the market after I claim my ATM to purchase the food ingredients that will be prepared for tomorrow, but the big problem is, where will I place the meats in order for them to be fresh until tomorrow?
I am running out of time. The bank closes up at
The only problem I thought would be the food ingredients, where would I place it and how will we work on preparing the food on a dark night. Night came and so we have no choice but to do it without the light—dark…extremely dark…with just a candle as light, we had the ingredients, peeled, chopped and cooked. Thanks to my ngit, he was there who also helped us on preparing the food even though it was dark. L yet, another problem came when the people I invited aren’t sure that they would come because the place was far. Thank God I was able to convince them and they took pity on me, so they decided to come. I really owe them a lot.
Though it was difficult sleeping without fan, I fell fast asleep because it was a long day for us and tomorrow, it would be a longer day…a summer trip-adventure…my birthday…my 18th birthday… J
Goodbye is the hardest word to say especially to the people who you spent quality time with.
It was one and a half month since I last waved goodbye to the people I left in
It was a sad moment because aside from I would again see them after months; I would not be able to be with my mom on my upcoming debut. Yet, it was my choice to be here in Davao before my 18th birthday. Well, I guess that’s just life, all I gotta do is enjoy the planned upcoming summer adventure-debut and be excited on seeing the people I left more that a month ago.
Yes, I’ll surely miss my mom, tito and our strolling moments but I guess and I hope it wouldn’t be the last. Moments from now, we’ll be in Davao. J see yah around!
I had finished reading my third book, Hour Game by David Baldacci that is all about a serial killer who had killed because he wants to revenge for his twin’s misfortune. It was an exciting thrill of events and that made me want to read and discover more such stories.
And as I was watching the Discovery channel one Saturday night that was entitled “inside: crimes that shook the world”. It was about that
1973 was a year for the Wests to celebrate. They walked away from Caroline Owens' rape and abduction charge with only a fine and they murdered Lynda Gough with no police repercussions at all. Then in August, their first son, Stephen, was born.
Emboldened by their success, they abducted fifteen-year-old Carol Ann Cooper in November and amused themselves with her sexually -- that is, until she outlived her entertainment value and was snuffed out by strangulation or suffocation, dismembered and buried. She joined the growing city of the dead at
Industrious Fred, persistent in his home improvements, had enlarged the cellar and was demolishing the garage to build an extension to the main house. No matter that these improvements were done at very strange hours.
A little over a month later, university student Lucy Partington had gone home to her mother's house to spend the Christmas holiday. On December 27, she went to visit her disabled friend and left to catch a bus shortly after 10 P.M. She had the misfortune to meet up with Fred and Rose, who probably knocked her out and abducted her. Like Carol Ann Cooper, she was tortured for approximately a week and then murdered, dismembered and buried in Fred's construction projects. He cut himself while dismembering Lucy and had to go to the hospital for stitches on January 3, 1974. Lucy, like Carol Ann Cooper, was reported missing, but there was nothing to tie the two girls to the Wests. read more
Stigmata are wounds or skin blotches which match the wounds suffered by Jesus during his trial and crucifixion. Some people believe that they can appear spontaneously through a miraculous act of God. But the evidence often points to natural causes, such as self-wounding or unusual medical conditions.
Some stigmata have unusual shapes, such as a cross or a circle, and a few even glow in the dark. Many of them also produce a pleasant perfume-like odor. In a few rare cases they aren't even visible, but are known to be present from the pain that they cause.
Because stigmata are counterparts to the wounds suffered by Christ, they are normally found on the hands and feet, on one side of the chest, and on the head, shoulders, and back. But they are not always real wounds, for many of them occur in the form of purplish skin blotches or tattoo-like markings. However, in a few cases, what looks like a blotch may actually be a real wound, because small amounts of blood will sometimes seep from it, even though no breaks are visible in the skin.
The word "stigmata" is the plural of the Greek word "stigma". This was an ancient name for marks that were pricked or branded onto the bodies of slaves and soldiers for identification purposes. The word was also applied to religious symbols tattooed onto members of pagan cults to show their devotion to particular gods and goddesses.
The first known use of the word with regard to the wounds of Christ occurs in Galatians 6:17, where the Apostle Paul says "I bear on my body the marks of Jesus." Biblical scholars aren't sure what kind of marks Paul was referring to. Possibly they were the result of wounds he'd received from scourgings and stonings by people who opposed his teaching. But another possibility is that he intentionally inflicted wounds on himself in an attempt to experience the same pain that Jesus felt.
Attempts to re-experience the suffering of Jesus definitely took place during the Middle Ages. Writings from that period contain many reports of mystics deliberately wounding themselves for such a purpose.
After self-wounding became common, people began to hear stories about wounds that appeared spontaneously. The most prominent case involved Saint Francis of
After Saint Francis died, other reports of spontaneous stigmata began to appear, and have continued to do so ever since. Near the end of the nineteenth century, an investigation by Dr. Antoine Imbert-Gourbeyre (1818-1912) identified hundreds of cases that had occurred up to that time. And the rate of occurrence seemed to increase during the twentieth century.
The best-known stigmatics of modern times include Padre Pio, Therese Neumann, Heather Woods, and Lilian Bernas, but there have been many others. In some modern cases, people have reported that they went into a trance in which they seemed to be nailed to a cross, and when they awoke they found the wounds or markings on their bodies.
Modern investigations indicate that stigmata can persist for different time periods, from a few hours to many years. They often appear suddenly, remain for a few days, then quickly fade away. In a few cases they have appeared on Good Friday and vanished on Easter morning.
Many Christians believe that the sudden appearance of stigmata is a supernatural sign that a person is very close to God. According to some reports, the miraculous nature of the wounds is verified by the fact that they don't respond to medical treatment, but can suddenly heal without treatment and without leaving any scars.
Some stigmatics say that they gladly suffer from the pain because their sacrifice helps pay for the sins of other people.
Stigmata are sometimes accompanied by other unusual phenomena such as powers of prophecy and the ability to live with very little food or water. St. Catherine of
Many people doubt the claims about supernatural or miraculous causes for stigmata. One reason for this is that none of the reported miraculous occurrences has ever been documented by strict scientific methods. In addition, there may be natural explanations for all of the reported phenomena. Here are several possible explanations:
--- A person could inflict wounds on himself while in a state of religious ecstasy and not remember doing it afterward. Failure to remember a self-infliction could also occur if an alternate personality temporarily took control of a person's body and created the stigmata.
--- Another possibility is that intense prayer or deep meditation could bring about a psychosomatic reaction that causes the wounds or marks to appear. This process, sometimes called "psychogenic purpura", has been investigated medically, and there is some evidence that it can actually occur.
--- Some people have secretly wounded themselves in an attempt to get attention or look pious. One well-known example was Magdalena de la Cruz (1487–1560), who eventually admitted that her wounds were a hoax. In a modern case, carbolic acid was reportedly applied to the skin to create blister-like wounds. Another way to create fake stigmata is to paint them onto the skin, and several people have apparently used this method. The use of painted-on markings could explain cases in which the stigmata have unusual shapes, or glow in the dark, or appear to heal without leaving any scars.
Another reason for suspicion arises from questions about the locations of stigmata on a person's body. For example, many scholars doubt that Jesus even had any wounds on his hands. Available evidence indicates that the flesh of the hands isn't firm enough to hold a body on a cross, and that the nails were normally driven through the wrists instead.
Stigmata occasionally appear on individuals who aren't considered to be pious. One common explanation for such cases is that they are the work of the Devil.

Oh… it’s already the end of the month. I haven’t noticed time pass by. It was like it was just yesterday when my niece and I arrived here and it was still fresh to me that I waved “see you again” to Ngit. I didn’t feel the time yet I still miss someone. J Tomorrow, May is starting and I know it would be fast. I would surely miss my mother and my tito. I would miss the food that my mom prepares for us. I would miss the shopping and the grocery sessions. I would miss the car. And most of all, I would miss their company. J Too bad I also miss the people left in Davao. L Well, it would not be a goodbye for them but instead it would be a ‘see you again, I’ll miss you’.
Paul McMann. Who is he? I have come to encounter his name through a management class where my professor had set him as an example, an example where my classmates and I would never forget. He was a model for us youth, finding a way to link his interest to his business brain. It just shows that we may be business minded and at the same time really enjoy what we’re doing.
Paul McMann is one of the best hands in the field of real estate. Not only that, he had crossed boundaries from being on the circle of financial sales representative to being a competitive college professor to being the boss of his own real estate company. He certainly is a man with talent and intelligence. He used his knowledge on to following and satisfying himself of his interest. He had lots of achievements including his being named as an affiliate with Blue Coast Financial Group. He would be the company’s financial advisor and at the same time
Paul McMann is indeed a man endowed with brilliance because he was able to use his financial and scholastic expertise on to uniting his devotion for his all-time affection for the sport—basketball. He is undeniably a visionary in helping the fanatical basketball players fulfill their dreams. And years ago he founded and established a basketball league that encourages youths to believe in their dreams and fulfill it to their best. He used his skills and expertise in sales to let the players have an education and their respective allowances. He is a well known reputable man and without a doubt an intellectual individual that currently resides at
It was Friday afternoon when we decided to go bar hopping or somewhat find a place to stay away from home. We don’t wanna spend the night doing nothing at home because we have done it the whole week. We had dinner at Max’s Restaurant. It was a plateful of fried chicken, bitter gourd with beef and the so delicious kare-kare. It was years ago when I last tasted that scrumptious fried chicken because there was no Max’s Restaurant in
