what i have learned. . .

More than the skills and knowledge that this subject has imparted on me, I've learned that our present world is very competitive and it's shaky to live fast paced. I have to gradually innovate and put into practice whatever learned knowledge I have to survive.

Especially in computer, I would be left behind without knowledge on this. I might not even land on a good job.

In my life, it's quite the same. I's like I'm programming my own destiny. My output depends on whatever decisions (input) I make. And every time I make one, I surely have to give it my best shot. :)

Artificial Orchid

The most difficult part of he flower is the bud. I did a lot of trials but couldn't make a correct one until I learned from my mom that I could use a cotton to put it into shape.

I'm really thankful because it developed my interest and creativity and patience is a virtue!:)

I would describe it as an "Orchid Bouquet".

►Frame

I had mixed emotions when I was making the frame. Maybe because I was making it for a picture where I was with my grade school friends. I miss their company a lot. I had to make a very beautiful frame for a very beautiful friendship. Well, it was really worth it! I can say that it is far more beautiful than those at department stores because it was made through inspiration and from my heart.

Artificial Butterflies

At first, I was just making the butterfly because I need to submit it but on reflection, I realized the value of time, the value of appreciating beauty an the value of doing something heartily.

Honestly, I started doing it only a night before the deadline. I know I have no excuses for that. I just plainly took it for granted. I was panicking and worrying that I might not be able to submit it on time but by learning to sacrifice because of my own fault and doing it with all my heart, I managed to finish it around 2 in the morning and i as a great relief.

Through that, I also had more time appreciating the beauty of it. I realize that no matter how complicated it is, in the end it is still worth all of it.

If I am to sell the butterfly, I would describe it
"brilliance of beauty".

my favorite movie (march 10, 2008)

If Only

It's quite hard to decide on what is my most favorite movie because I'm quite into movies and I have lots of favorites. Anyway, after discerning, I would choose "IF ONLY". I like movies with twisted stories and unexpected endings. Actually, this movie has a very simple story but very meaningful. More than he story, I like this movie because the actors were quite awesome here and the setting is very romantic, even its soundtrack became one of my favorites too!
My favorite part in the movie is where the guy surprised this girlfriend during her graduation (she is into orchestra) by conniving with her classmates to play he song which was composed by the girl and asked her to sing it. The girl was actually a composer and has a very good voice for singing but she was withdrawn. So, this was the best way that the guy brought out the best in her and she was applauded by the audience and they gave her a standing ovation. I was really touched by his scene because I believe that loving someone is really bringing out he best of your partner.
I could also best relate to the girl's character because I, myself still needs somebody to push me before I indulge into something. Every time that I want to put up something in front of a crowd or on a stage, I stutter and my confidence gos zero percent! And like the girl, I also have some things that I know I can do but afraid to let it show.
I learned from this movie that time is very very important. Cliché as it may sound but we should live each day as if its our last and dream as if we're going to live forever.

Last February 24, 2008, we had our Family Day '08 at the Ateneo de Zamboanga University William H. Kreutz Campus. It started with a motorcade from the Ateneo Main Campus to the Tumaga Campus. Hmmm. I didn't join the motorcade because I thought it was tiring. So I went straight to Tumaga with Raqib and Chelzie. It was around 2:30pm when we arrived at the Tumaga Campus, me our group decided to have our practice for our later performance at 7pm. At around 4pm, a mass was held at the school's lobby. Marie and me weren't able to attend the mass because we waited for my sister (Ate Anne) and her two other companions (Kuya Julius and Kuya Franco) which were our trainers. They arrived at around 4:30 pm.

At around 5pm, the program started. It was held at the field. We performed at around 7:30pm before the dinner. After we performed, I companied them to their motorcycles because they were still going to Cacao. I asked my ate how can I go home. My ate told me that if I want,I could go with them to Cacao. I was so happy when she told me that because I really wanted to go with them. Ate was with Kuya July in his motorcycle and I was with Kuya Franco. The road to Cacao was scary.It was a dark silent place. There were tall trees. The road was crooked. We even passed by a cemetery. Ohhhh. Scary! But the ride was great! I enjoyed it because me and Kuya Franco were talking about funny things.
When we arrived at Cacao, Kuya July and Kuya Franco invited me toplay billiards. While they were playing billiards, I was busy playing arcades. Hahahaha. After we played, we went back to our cottage.We ate, talked, laughed and played. It was around 1 am when the tequila was out! It was time to get drunk! Hahaha. I had 3 shots only because my ate didn'tpermit me to get more. How sad. :( But that event was fun. Not until 4 am. Everything was silent. Everybody was tired, except me. It was time for them to take a sleep. Ahwwwww. :( They had their naps and I too was forced to take mine. I woke up at around 6 am. I was excited because as of what everybody had promised last night, there would still be swimming time in the morning. But unfortunately, when everybody woke up at around 7 am, they all got ready for home. It was because the 3rd year stallions still have their feasibility studies to finish. We went home at 7:30 am. The end.

hmmmmmmmmmmmmm........

Bestfriend

You're always there to see me smile
Always reach for me even on a hundred mile
You're always there to comfort me
And push me to where I must be

Even just a minute I miss our bondings
The laughters,cryings and many other things
You help me in my problems
And if I'll fall,you will hold my hands

When we're far I always worry
'Cause if something will happen I will really feel sorry
Our friendship will never end
'Cause I know you're always with me, bestfriend

just last night

We talked last night
Everything seemed to be so fine
I remember your lips as you utter those words
I was so jaded and hypnotized by your smile

And now what I have
A broken heart
A stained cheek coz of tears I cried
Faded smiles and pretention
Coz of one thing I didn't mean to do.
I'M SO SORRY!!! ='(

HTML (required gumawa ehhh...tsk.)

HTML
Everytime I think about you
It makes me frown and think
"What am I gonna do?"
It's complicated, especially with links

Source codes, open and close
Oh snap, it makes me overdose!
Annoying symbols and confounding tools
Oh my gosh! Still ned\ed to follow some rules

Do I really need to design you? You're vain.
Just to make you attractive and beautiful.
But anyway, a benefit I shall gain
Even though my brain cells are painful.

I Am Me . . .hahaha (maka-ashlee?!)

Simple and Plain, but not so quiet
Don't try to fight her for she is brave
Never wanna lose if she knows she's right
She never have to cry for an empty grave

Smart?, yes; Intelligent?, maybe..
Been in love?, yes; Been hurt?, more..
She's always broken inside, for many reasons
But still she tries to smile and make others laugh

Friendly?, yes; depending on you
Have many friends?, yes; Enemies?, more..
She is not a hypocrite, if you're not
Wanna make friends with her? add her up:

Is It Over?

I turned away from you but why I want you near? I thought I never will look back but why can’t I assent to the memory of you leaving? I closed the door but I hope you’d draw close and knock again… Now, all I have is hope and pray that you’ll come back once more.

How will you wipe away my tears when I didn’t even bother when you cried? I guess they are right, regret always comes last. My chances passed me by with only the blink of an eye.

I wasn’t jealous of my time, I saw but paid no attention, and I heard but never really listened. Oh how I wish I could turn back time. Now how will I make you mine? If only I wasn’t such a fool, I’d be the girl you’re holding right beside you now.

I want to tell you that anything that you need you can have it from me. I tried to conceal it, I tried to fake it but this feeling is too much, too much that I have no one to censure but myself. I thought I was all that I am and that I could do without you because I had it all. How could I have been so blind to realize that you were all that I had?

If only I could see you once more and look in your eyes, I’d tell all these feelings that I'm keeping deep down inside. I want to tell you all of my dreams of the two of us and that I was dim-witted for letting you go. I know that I’ve hurt you, just let our love begin. But is it over? Can I pick up the pieces again? All I’m left with is to feel sorry for myself…

for the man who almost made me...

The man who almost made me. . .

As I was staring at my starless sky
I sat down and started to cry
I thought it was me
Who was not filled and never will be

I remembered the happy times we've spent
But all those times were only lent
I remembered the text messages and the calls
But here we are now, separeted by walls

We have spent so much time together
And I will treasure those memories forever
Even though you left me alone
I will still try to survive on my own

I really do love you and care for you
I know I will miss you, for you have gone away
That's what all I can say. . .
for the man who almost made me - whole.
