To use the computer and surf the net so on and so fort. My class doesn't start in 4 hours.. uhm.. I'll make that 3 hours. One hour for getting ready for school.
I feel like a different person these past weeks.. no.. actually the whole of midterms. I don't think I learned a lot.. tsk. T'was because of the competition and the business expo and the seminar in Baguio. I don't know how I could catch up. And the exams will be on wednesday. Great.
Ever since we've started practicing for the Cheer Dance competition and even after the competition. We still have a SERIOUS hang over.. it's like we always have to be together. Bondings. Shot sessions. Last cheer syndrome.. it detached me from boring school life.
Speaking of which, excited as I am to upload images of our bondings; I don't have the time nor the capacity to do so. The stupid computer acquired an amazing amount of viruses of demented sorts and had to reformatted. My files are gone and Adobe Photoshop too was erased. Luckily, I didn't erase the images from my cam's memory card so I still have the pictures but most of them have to be Photoshopped. Images are dark and all of them are in large sizes.
I'm actually getting tired of typing now.. and I have to feed Tamtam. I end here.

Whoa. I can't believe I'm actually blogging this early. It's 20 minutes pass 7, early right?
I just came home from Baguio because we had a seminar entitled "Teen Go NeGOsyo" Edition 3 (Pictures will be uploaded soon.). We were accommodated in Teacher's Camp where the seminar was held for 5 days. Our speakers were from AIM, ESA, DepEd and some were real life CEO's of their companies like Mr, Francis Kong (which book is awesome btw!) and Mr. Christopher Tan of Ideal Minds Corp.
Notes I've made during this trip.
1. Bathing with super cold water in a cold environment and early in the morning is a definite NO-NO for me. Tss.
- This gave me headache whole morning.. the heater wasn't working. So much for the first day.
2. My ability to sense a swaggered or conceited attitude around me is way lower than that of a normal person.
- This was the case; we were with someone that wasn't really okay with the others. Ayaw nila siya kasama, it's that simple. Dahil sa ugali niya. Ako lang yung sumasama sakanya kasi kawawa naman siya. Everyone's gameplan was to boycott her as much as possible. Then when we all had the chance to talk without her (kasi it seemed she would always come out of nowhere when we talk), they told me na yung nga super yabang siya and pabida daw. Tapos I was like, "Yun ba tawag dun? Parang nga.. oo." totally clueless talaga! Haha.
- Someone said, "Masyado ka kasing mabait!" And in my defense, 'I don't know na nagmamayabang at pabida or sipsip na pala xa. Ngayon ko lang napansin. Saka kawawa naman kasi siya. And you guys are way too hard on her, give her a chance!' Pero tama sila, 'di naman siya nagbago kaya yun.
- Pati nga ako nadadamay sa boycott eh. :"3 Kaya medyo iniwasan ko siya because I don't want to be plastic. Pero kapag sumasama siya sa akin, ('Coz no one else wants to be with her..) I just try to be polite nalang.
3. Some guys would flirt as much as they want but at the end of the day they still long for the ones they love.
- An observation. Medyo naging open kami about love. I even asked, "Kapag nag-chicks ba ang isang lalake ibig sabihin di niya mahal yung gf niya?" Sabi naman nila, (defensive) "Hindi ah! Ganun lang talaga ang mga lalake. Pero di ibig sabihin eh di na niya mahal yung gf niya!"
Sabi ko naman, "Eh bakit pa then sila nag-commit sa isang girl kung makikipag-flirt din sila sa iba?" Wala naman sila nasagot. =))
4. About an angry person : Their words are devastating, and their actions.. chaotic.
- Do not, I repeat DO NOT MESS WITH AN ANGRY PERSON.
5. When things seem hopeless, you do not have the right to complain if you're not doing anything to help.
- We were on our way home. Start palang ng trip (lampas palang yata ng Marcos hi-way), NASIRAAN KAMI. We were stranded for like 3 or 4 hours. My ears were ringing because of the complains I heard from my classmates and the other passengers. I understand how they felt, but PLEASE, complaining won't help the bus start. Geez.

Definition There is nothing inherently difficult to understand about the concept of lucid dreaming: lucid dreaming is simply dreaming while being aware you are dreaming. You can think of lucid dreaming as being conscious while dreaming. If, by chance, during a dream it suddenly dawns on you that you are dreaming, then you have experienced a lucid dream, regardless of whether you have been able to attain control of your dream. Lucid dreaming is usually induced by some sort of cue —something that indicates to the person that what he or she is experiencing is a dream, and not reality. Cues, however, are not necessary for becoming lucid: sometimes people spontaneously become lucid without noticing anything strange or typical of dreams. Lucid dreaming is a very simple concept but for most it will take patience and determination to achieve. Many people seem ignorant of the distinction between having a lucid dream, and controlling a dream. Being able to freely control one’s dream does not directly follow becoming lucid: one can have a lucid dream without any control whatsoever. Controlling your dream is simply proceeding to the next level, by attempting to exert your will upon your surroundings. Misconceptions Since lucid dreaming is a relatively unknown phenomenon, there are a number of misconceptions that encompass it: Lucid dreaming is new-ageish. As stated in the introduction, many people when first introduced to the concept dismiss it as being bizarre and too “new-ageish.” In reality, lucid dreaming is whatever you want it to be—because, after all, they are your dreams—and does not necessarily fall under the stigma of “new-age.” This site offers a very practical examination of lucid dreaming along with practical reasons for why one would want to endeavour to induce lucid dreams. Lucid dreaming advocates escapism. Another misconception is that lucid dreaming advocates escapism. This site, by no means whatsoever, condones escapism. Lucid dreaming occurs while you are sleeping; it is not meant at all to infringe upon your involvement in the real world. Indeed, reading a book or watching a movie will take you out of the “real world” more than lucid dreaming will. The idea that lucid dreaming advocates escapism is valid only when one attempts to sleep more in order to induce lucid dreams. This site only suggests that one maintain a healthy sleep pattern to promote lucid dreams—an average of 7 or 8 hours a night is recommended. Lucid dreaming is unnatural, involves "dark arts," or is occult related? Some misguided people immediately assume lucid dreaming must be a corrupt practice; this is just plain silly. Denunciations such as this are the direct result of fear of the unknown—this site hopes to dispel such ignorance. There is nothing inherently wrong or questionable with lucid dreaming; instead, there are many positive reasons to practice it. People who believe otherwise should first read about it before forming an opinion. Dreams contain messages that are lost with lucid dreaming. Finally, many people take an intransigent stance against lucid dreaming based on their belief that our dreams are trying to tell us something, and we lose those messages by trying to alter our dreams. That’s a reasonable position to take, however, that idea is not entirely valid. First of all, most people that endeavour to have lucid dreams only have them occasionally—perhaps a few times a month. Some obviously will have them more often (perhaps several times a week or even in a night) but again for the most part, on average, those who attempt lucid dreaming still have more non-lucid dreams than lucid ones. Perhaps even more valid a point is that becoming proficient at lucid dreaming demands excellent dream recall. Thus, while practicing to become lucid in dreams you are also increasing your ability to remember your dreams, which as a by-product will provide you with more memorable dreams to sift through in search of hidden insight. Therefore one can practice lucid dreaming and still attain enough “regular” dreams so that he or she need not worry about losing something important. Levels of Lucidity & Dream Control Lucid dreaming was defined as becoming aware you are dreaming; the actual level of awareness varies, however. When the level of lucidity is high you are well aware that nothing you experience is real, and you realize that you have nothing to fear—you cannot be harmed by any situations that may seem precarious. With low-level lucidity, although partially aware you are dreaming, you are not aware enough to have a great impact on your dream—you may accept some aspects of your dream that you would not normally accept in the ordinary world (you may not find it at all strange that your dog flies around the living room, etc.) With low-level lucidity your realization may also quickly fade and you may accept the whole dream as reality. Again, attaining lucidity does not immediately mean you’re in control of your dreams. As we’ll discuss later a lot of practice is necessary in order to exert and maintain control. Obviously you have the best chance of controlling your dreams with a high-level of awareness, but even then it may not be possible to exert much control, at least, at first. Although experience plays a part in how well you can control your dreams, your own belief and confidence is key. If you lack confidence in your dreams, you may fail at controlling them—if you believe in a dream that you cannot do something, it is very likely that you won’t be able to. Instead of changing the dream, however, you could merely control your own behaviour. This kind of dream control is most beneficial during nightmares. Rather than attempting to change the dream, you can change your own attitude. By realizing it is merely a dream and that you cannot sustain physical damage, you can allay your fear, which is the only real part of the nightmare. Changing your attitude in such a manner usually transforms the nightmare into something more peaceful as well. Defeating nightmares is only one of many reasons to attempt to have lucid dreams.
http://profiles.friendster.com/71719851WHAT THE F*CK! Even the most awful words can't describe how furious I am.To whoever you are.. How dare you say those sh*t about my father. He's an honest and hardworking man and I hope you die for what you said about him.And don't even think for a second that we won't be able to trace you.You're done for.
(Forgive me for using foul language.. I am pissed off big time.)http://profiles.friendster.com/71719851A friend told me about this. It's a hate account for my sister.. God am i angry. I've never felt this furious. I never thought I could hate anyone like this. I'm so mad I am this close.. THIS CLOSE to crying.The CREATURE who made this is obviously insecure.. my sister is intelligent and everyone knows that. Yes she drinks and smokes but that didn't interfere with her studies because she's doing well and fine and she will be graduating soon. She's simple and beautiful not like those girls who put on tons of make up to make them look like people.Whoever you are.. YOU'RE A PATHETIC COWARD. A SKANK. AN INSECURE LOW PROFILE NO-LIFE SKANK. Damn you to HELL!

I just heard David Archuleta's version of this Robbie Williams song and my God did I fall completely in love with it! 
I sit and waitDoes an angel contemplate my fateAnd do they knowThe places where we goWhen were grey and oldcos I have been toldThat salvation lets their wings unfoldSo when Im lying in my bedThoughts running through my headAnd I feel the love is deadIm loving angels insteadAnd through it all he offers me protectionA lot of love and affectionWhether Im right or wrongAnd down the waterfallWherever it may take meI know that life wont break meWhen I come to call he wont forsake meIm loving angels insteadWhen Im feeling weakAnd my pain walks down a one way streetI look aboveAnd I know Ill always be blessed with loveAnd as the feeling growsHe breathes flesh to my bonesAnd when love is deadIm loving angels insteadAnd through it all he offers me protectionA lot of love and affectionWhether Im right or wrongAnd down the waterfallWherever it may take meI know that life wont break meWhen I come to call he wont forsake meIm loving angels insteadAnd through it all he offers me protectionA lot of love and affectionWhether Im right or wrongAnd down the waterfallWherever it may take meI know that life wont break meWhen I come to call he wont forsake meIm loving angels instead.
I got this from Abbie Balisi. Good luck with this and have fun! This is a 5th grade mathproblem. If you can't stand word math problems, just delete now. If you can open the spreadsheet, you'll see it's a very smalllist of people who have gotten the correct number. This is not a trickquestion. This is a real math problem so don't say that a bus has no legs. - There are 7 girls in a bus. - Each girl has 7 backpacks. - In each backpack, there are 7 big cats. - For every big cat there are 7 little cats. Question: How many legs are there in the bus? The number of legs is the password to unlock the Excel sheet.If you open it, add your name and send it on to see who else can unlockit. (See attached file: answer sheet.xls)PS - pretend there's no bus driver. :)) You need to come up with the correct number to open theattachment. (SEE BELOW)

100. Post as 100 Truths You Wanna Know About (your name)
Step one, you say, “We need to talk” He walks, you say, “Sit down, it's just a talk” He smiles politely back at you You stare politely right on through Some sort of window to your right
As he goes left and you stay right
Between the lines of fear and blame
You begin to wonder why you came
Where did I go wrong? I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
Let him know that you know best
‘Cause after all, you do know best
Try to slip past his defense
Without granting innocence
Lay down a list of what is wrong
The things you've told him all along
And pray to God he hears you
And pray to God he hears you
And where did I go wrong? I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
As he begins to raise his voice
You lower yours and grant him one last choice
Drive until you lose the road
Or break with the ones you've followed
He will do one of two things
He will admit to everything
Or he'll say he's just not the same
And you'll begin to wonder why you came
Where did I go wrong? I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
Where did I go wrong? I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
How to save a life
How to save a life
Where did I go wrong? I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
Where did I go wrong? I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
How to save a life
How to save a life
I just finished the Ouran High School Host Club series. Everytime I finish a series, I feel empty and depressed. Especially when I've enjoyed and loved watching it..  Gawd I hate endings! Sana may Season 2!!
Amstelveen, The Netherlands, 20 August, 2007: Canon today introduces its latest digital SLR for advanced amateurs and semi-professionals: the EOS 40D. With a 10.1 Megapixel CMOS sensor, 6.5 frames per second burst performance, a newly developed AF system and 3.0” LCD with Live View mode, the EOS 40D makes significant advances in both performance and versatility. The camera benefits from the new EOS technology platform introduced earlier this year with the professional EOS‑1D Mark III. Canon’s DIGIC III processor delivers responsive operation, improved colour rendering and near-instant start-up time. The EOS Integrated Cleaning System combats sensor dust, while a strong magnesium alloy body with weather resistance ensures lasting durability. “The EOS 40D represents an important step in the development of EOS for the advanced amateur market. It incorporates many of the technologies pioneered in our latest EOS-1 series cameras,” said Mogens Jensen, Head of Canon Consumer Imaging, Europe. “For digital photographers, the benefits of upgrading to the EOS 40D are real and significant. For analogue SLR users, there’s never been a more compelling reason to make the switch.” Key features - 10.1 Megapixel APS-C CMOS sensor
- 6.5 fps continuous shooting, max. burst 75 JPEGs
- New AF system with 9 cross-type sensors
- DIGIC III processor
- 3.0” LCD with Live View mode
- EOS Integrated Cleaning System
- Clear and bright viewfinder
- Customisable Picture Style processing parameters
Speed and image quality Canon’s third generation CMOS sensor improves on its predecessor with redesigned pixels that keep noise to a minimum. The EOS 40D maintains high image quality up to ISO 1600, expandable to H:3200 for situations where flash use is not permitted or desired. Highlight Tone Priority mode gives wedding and landscape photographers the option to boost dynamic range for highlights when shooting above ISO 200 – reproducing more tonal detail from wedding dresses, clouds and other light coloured objects. The DIGIC III processor powers a burst rate of 6.5 fps, working with the image buffer to handle up to 75 Large JPEGs (17 in RAW) without pause. Images are processed at 14-bits for a greatly expanded colour depth, providing smoother gradations and exceptionally accurate colour reproduction. New cross-type AF system A key advancement of the EOS 40D is its new 9-point cross-type AF system. All nine AF points can achieve focus on both horizontal and vertical planes. A central AF point is capable of accurate focusing up to aperture f/2.8, with eight outer points working up to f/5.6. In response to requests, the dedicated AF Start (AF-ON) button allows photographers to execute auto focus with their thumb. LCD with Live View mode The Live View mode simplifies shooting from awkward angles such as ground-level macro or mounted tripod shots. The 3.0” LCD displays a real-time image in Live View mode, including a selectable grid overlay and a live histogram that simulates image exposure. The AF-ON button can be configured to flip the camera mirror momentarily and engage auto focusing. For the studio environment, remote Live View lets the photographer compose, adjust settings and capture the shot from a PC using the supplied EOS utility software. 
Total control The EOS 40D is fully customisable to the photographer’s shooting preferences. The mode dial contains space for three sets of user-defined settings, allowing the photographer to switch instantly between several shooting setups. A new My Menu tab provides quick access to frequently used settings, while 24 custom functions allow photographers to fine-tune camera operation and controls. The ability to change the focusing screen – with two additional screens available – adds further versatility. For easier operation of system accessories, settings for the Speedlite 580EX II and new Wireless File Transmitter WFT-E3 can be controlled directly from the LCD. Wireless File Transmitter WFT-E3 Also launched today is the Wireless File Transmitter WFT-E3. Built to work with the EOS 40D, the WFT-E3 enables rapid wireless image transfer to remote FTP servers, along with two-way communication through PTP and HTTP. In HTTP mode, remote users can trigger the shutter button or download images from the camera via an internet browser window. PTP mode is used for wireless remote shooting with the EOS 40D and supplied EOS Utility software. For longer shoots, the WFT-E3 can connect directly to external hard disk drives (HDDs). And if connected to a portable GPS device, the location and time of capture is automatically added to each image as EXIF data. A convenient grip design features a main dial and shutter controls for vertical shooting, while weather resistant seals protect the unit. Two new EF-S lenses are launched today in conjunction with the EOS 40D - EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS – a high quality, affordable standard zoom lens incorporating a 4-stop Image Stabilizer
- EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS – a versatile telephoto zoom offering the longest focal range in the EF-S range to date as well as a 4-stop Image Stabilizer
Software - The EOS 40D is supplied with a comprehensive software suite to streamline the photographer’s workflow. This includes Digital Photo Professional (DPP), a powerful RAW converter that provides complete RAW image processing control.
- DPP integrates with cameras features such as Dust Delete Data and Picture Styles. Users can now also create their own custom Picture Styles with the supplied Picture Style Editor software. The camera also comes with EOS Utility, ImageBrowser/ZoomBrowser and PhotoStitch.

I feel so crappy.. I haven't a date for Valentines!! God now I'm starting to miss Albert badly.. hmp.
Oh well.. distance is not a hindrance for two united hearts anyway. Knowing that we love each other is enough as a Valentines gift. It makes me happy more than flowers and chocolates.
