The joy of being a child, let's take a ride with them

It takes time again for me to write on this blog, but I am grateful that I still have the chance to write in here, again. Feeling flying high and free.

In between the time I am not active in this blog world, I'm thinking of what to write, what to share with you every time I had this chance. They said even good writer had this so-called "writer's block". I'm scapegoating here, the truth is; I had a little challenges with my broadband. Hehe.

Anyway, we find time to go to arcade and play with my nephews this past few days and of course because I had heart child like this makes me happy too.

Is he lost in space? Nope, he is lost inside the arcade hehe, he doesn't know where to start again.
It's too overwhelming to see so many things to play.

Me too, I feel overwhelm I am like a child so excited to play. But before me, my nephews first seeing them happy playing is one great feeling of accomplishment.

We only have one chance to be a child so let's seize the moment.

We all grow old so let's not take away the chance from a child to enjoy the moment of being a kid, lets them play, let them explore, let them experience each day, but let us not neglect to guide them.

And let's enjoy every moment with them because their happiness is contagious.

We are all young at heart

After we finished all the tokens and release all this adrenalin rush, it's time to feed this hungry stomach. Time to eat (my tummy is grinning), but because it's child days hehe their choice and we end up....

child's favorite place "love ko 'to"

...and the meals that makes them happy because there's a toy in it.

and he is also happy with his Tita (auntie) whom his constant arcade buddy. 

I once was  a child and I could say that I enjoy my childhood I play all the games that I want in the street, with my friends, playing alone at home and because I enjoyed the life of being a child I want all the children to experience the same life of being a child.

Have a joyful life ahead everyone.

No kids is unsmart. Every kid's a genius at something. Our job is to find it. And then encourage it.--Robin Sharma

Breaking free

First and foremost I want to say sorry to my blogger readers I didn't want to be in absence for a long time and never write any in this page. Yes, you might see that I'm proactive in other social media like: Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter it is because that's what I can only do in my tablet. I am not so comfortable writing my blog in tablet I want a keyboard to make my mind work and I feel like the flow of words are very limited. Hehe.

So, how's everyone? At last I break myself free from the monotonous day to day activities that hindering me from writing one. I miss it a lot like I miss you my dear readers. So, how does the past week eating me up?

Actually, it's nothing much but to do some relaxing internal hobbies like: watching The Holiday 2006 movie over and over and over again, listening to Side A band tracks, again (after a long time), and most importantly I am actively attending prayer meeting every Tuesday and Saturday for spiritual growth (remember the Bible saying "man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God"--Matthew 4:4) attend an event of our prayer meeting community and that's really big.

So, what's with the movie The Holiday? really since the day one I watch this movie I fall in love with it and every time I watch it, it makes me feel in love (haha, the feeling, really? It's unexplainable) you know when there is a butterfly on your stomach whenever you see your high school crush, or the man that really makes you heart beat fast. Yeah, I guess you already know the feeling. Plusss, the background music that makes me feel it's Christmas time already the Christmassy theme of this movie makes it really big hit to me, there is joy in it whenever I watch it. (I don't know what makes you feel about the movie) all I know whenever there is a feeling of sinking sand of blues hehe I watch this movie and I feel in love all over again.

...and who wanted to have a leading man in her life, everyone right? I wanted too in God's perfect time I guess. 

.. and there is a feeling like you want like you want to hold someone's hand and feel the warmth of it. Haaaayyy.

haha. Yes, what about my story?

.. I guess,  from here I will stop wallowing about the feeling. No matter what we really think there is ONE that is fit for us to be our life time partner.

Have a great day everyone always make your journey lighter and happier.

I can't explain chemistry. I really can't. I haven't got a clue what it's all about. It just happens. It's like falling in love. You can't explain why you fall in love or explain why it's this particular person.--Elaine Stritch

How do you know if your laptop/ PC is under Malware Attack and How to cure it?

Every one of us has different experience on laptop malfunction in the system, which sometimes we can't figure out, what is the main cause of it, I just want to share with you what I had experience with my laptop when it suddenly the system get malfunction. This may help you and you don't need to go right away to a repair shop to re-format your laptop or change the motherboard without using this method first, it may save your big bucks paying on the repair shop by doing this little trick or I may say this tips.

Later in 2009 I had experienced the worst case of my laptop when it suddenly keeps re-starting, I thought it was hit by a virus so I installed a virus software to attack the culprit, but to no avail. I even confided to a laptop technician and they said the worst that it might have a motherboard problem and may be a change of new motherboard is the solution. What??? Just to tell you a little of my background I'm Computer System Design and Programmer by profession. So to speak, I don't  easily believe to any words they say (until I proven myself that my own analytical thinking is wrong)  because in my own little knowledge I knew it doesn't about motherboard, and aside from keep re-starting of my laptop there is no other problem with my laptop that I experience with the help of free Wi-fi, I'm able to trigger the problem in which I read in one of the blog site that it maybe a cause of a Malware attack. This brighten my day, big THANKS to the blogger world. I tried the step it was simple as 1-2-3 and easy to follow. By the way, there is another scenario of Malware attack when your laptop seems okay you can turn it off and on in the right way, but the problem is a few of your desktop folder or files cannot be open or some of your files are missing the link this is what happenned with my officemate laptop, not bragging about it--he brought his laptop to different repair shop and technicians, but no one can cure the problem, what they suggest to him is to re-format his laptop, but they cannot salvage the files, it's a clean re-format only, but he doesn't like the idea. I overheard his problem and I suggest to do the steps and I told him to tell to his computer engineer friend the steps on how to cure it, but his friend can't do it. So, he asks me to do it for him, And Voila! His files and other folders that are missing is now visible and he will able to open it. This is how you will do it and it's a very simple steps to follow.

1. Re-start your PC/ laptop and hit F12 to choose the mode on how you want to start your PC/ laptop.

2. Choose the Safe Mode with Network

3. Be sure there is Wi-fi connection active around because you cannot use your own connection when you are in a safe mode

4. Download the Anti-Malware by Malwarebytes and install

captured in my laptop

5. After you install run the Anti-Malware by Malwarebytes it will scan all malwares that gives problems to your system.

6. Wait and follow all the steps that it will tell you to do.

7. Lastly, for a complete check up run your anti-virus software.

Is this easy? Yes, it's a simple as grade I hope this little concern of mine will help cure your unwanted laptop problem.

Good thing to say that from this on I don't have any problems with my laptop, but of course to keep it secure all year round install virus scanner and anti-malwares software to your laptop/ PC. We get this malwares problem from the sites we downloaded the files. So, keep your Anti-Malware ON to avoid this malware attacks.

Have a free malwares attacks day!

The 24th of May

Time flies so fast, now my niece has celebrated her birthday to add another year to her age. She once a cute be-dimpled baby, and those time that she makes us laugh, amazed with her wittiness, naughtiness, those times are now past-by just like the tick-of-the-clock. She has a boyfriend, a work, her own path to take. As I look by all these things, this makes me also think that I am also getting older. Hah, What?! Old? Me? No. But acceptance is the reality.

We went to Gerry's Grill, Alabang Town Center where she had chosen to spend her birthday along with her boyfriend's family, is she wants us to know that she is getting married. No way, me first. Hi-hi. But who am I to impede the future? I'm feeling the pressure here, getting married, having no boyfriend. Oh, my goodness!

Anyway, my tummy is happy again.

My love for park--it really refreshes me

Happy tummy!!!

And the one makes my tummy happy ....

our choice of food the classic Filipino cuisine

So, again I need to remind myself again and again that I AM ON A DIET. NO, not DIET, but losing weight. But every time I fall on this trap--food. The one I can't turn down. Ha-ha. Who will? Anyway, Happy Birthday to my niece Cristina.

How's your tummy everyone?

Food, in the end, in our own tradition, is something holy. It's not about nutrients and calories. It's about sharing. It's about honesty. It's about identity.--Louise Fresco

On a Mother's Day

It says that being a mother is the most wonderful thing that will happen to a woman's life, and also the most exciting, fulfilling, suffering, endearing, and hardship duty in a mother's life. Should I say duty? Anyway, a Mother's Day celebration always happen on the 2nd week in the month of May to give honor to all the mother's in the world. So, to all the mother's in the world a VERY LATE greetings of a Happy Mother's Day! :)

A mother's Day celebration cannot be completed without food. Yes, it is! Making our tummy happy, again or should I say my tummy. Hi-hi. Since we are only three people to celebrate it, we only chose to simply eat out in Sbarro, at SM City Sucat.

Happy Mother's Day!!!

and my-happy-tummy-me! This photo is taken by a 4 year old boy (my nephew)

And the food ... it's melting in your mouth, it doesn't cost  you much, but it makes you really full. The Baked Ziti itself make me really full I couldn't even eat my Chicago White Pizza, but I manage to finish it all well. Happy tummy. :)

our choice of food Baked Ziti, Chicago White Pizza and Super Supreme Pizza

Plus the fact the lights went off while everyone is having their happy meal on a Mother's Day. What a day! It was two times that the electricity went off, but good thing that everyone still happy on a Mother's Day especially the "Mothers". Can't wait myself to be Mom someday too, and be greeted the same thing, but wait I need to find my prince charming, first. Hee-yah!

I love the facade of their studio, it looks quite cozy

We also went to Great Images for a free photo shoots, they take you many shots on different pose and angle, but you only get one copy free, but if you want to get all the copy of the photo shots (3R size) it will cost you 320 per copy, but don't worry they will also give you the CD copy just in case you want to re-print it. My verdict--well the quality of the image is good, but the photo itself doesn't have the charisma when I look at it. I guess, it all depends on the photographer itself.

I wrote in my phone apps calendar that I'm going to lose weight, and my target date until December tell me how can I if every month is always like this?

How's yeah day everyone?

Out of nothing to do

via google

This is one of those times when I just completely staring blankly on my lappy, thinking of something to do or write, but I end up browsing other blogs. Sometimes thoughts is so random, and couldn't pick, which is one. It's 12:46am I'm supposed to be sleeping at this moment, but here I am writing, still thinking. Duh! I'm so recharged after almost an hour napped this afternoon, my bed still not miss me.

So, I decided to watch KungFu Panda 2 online, but slow slow slow signal bore me! Ugh! I'm foreseeing myself to have a good laugh after watching it, but end up dreaming. Whew! I watched the few minutes part of the movie and I could say that the animation is not so good compare to the first KungFu Panda movie. Anyway, I didn't watch it all so I didn't know if the whole part is the same 'cause the internet connection keep disconnectimg. It's so lame.

via google

Finally, my beautiful eyes are telling me to sleep. I will sleep now.

Have a sweet dream to me, and a good day to you all. Ciao!

My swinging ....

First, I'm happy with my current blog template and big THANKS to ipietoon for this beautiful-free-blog-template. When I first saw this template, I thought it's personally made for my blog (wink! ~).

***

So, here I am again with my long winding story about how I feel whenever I saw bookstore, secondhand or brand new, as for me it brings the same feeling. Bear with me. BOOK FOR LESS is now a favorite bookshop for me, I bought three books for the price of 75 pesos only. What? happy to say that they sell their books in any kind for only 25 pesos each, only. Yes, that's how cheap they sell their books. In this price, anybody can't be deprive to learn, to read, and to enrich their knowledge.

Love Stars and All That by Kirin Narajan, this is one of the books I bought from Book for Less bookshop,

It is my first time to read a novel from an Indian author, I knew it brings different flavor from the usual chic lit I read before, it used to be written by UK author or a western author. Books brought your to different places, different culture, and can make you fall in love, and fall out of love at the same time, but still feel better, after.

I like to sit down, relax, have a cup of coffee on the terrace and read a book. I like to travel the world - and I'm lucky to see so much through cycling. -- Marianne Vos

Breathe In. Breathe Out.

This past few weeks were nothing special, I had time to breathe in and breathe out all that succumb the monotonous day, re-shaping and balancing that passes in between the day. There are times that I finished or end the day late early morning, just to notice that I haven't done any movement that I have less oxygen in my body to work it well (I found the reason for this after reading the book of Cameron Diaz, The Body). Like a machine that is need fuel to work. So, it's the reason I feel tired even-though I don't work that much, feel bored, feel sad even though there is no reason for it. To conclude it all, I need some activities to make me fully engage the whole-day. I need movements. So, I started to work on it to first, sleep early, but sad to say that I still break this rule, no matter how I tried to manage it. Second, to start my Tai Chi's workout in the morning and I commit myself to do this for at least three months, just to see the effect on it on my body (because I read a lot of reviews online that it gives endurance and longevity in life), then continue to do it forever--I started doing this Tai Chi exercise back when I was in Dubai, but I did not religiously do it for I am busy like an ant back then. Third, work on my hobby like sketching which I remember the last time I do it when I was in my High School days when I feel blue is hitting me and one outlet for me to breathe out all angst than letting negative thought float in. Fourth, enhance my reading capability; my magazines are getting old and lazy in the nook for the long time now, accumulating dust and wrinkles pages after a long time of having no attention from me. Fifth, I'm a music lover, I sing a lot like no tomorrow in videoke for no less than four hours a day, but after working in Dubai for five years I could say that hobby has now been forgotten long, now I started to add music to my life, again. Then, end the day by writing in my journal, to collective write memories that happen in a day where I can go back any time and read what special in the day it was.

I love doing this in the morning, it really fuel me for the whole day ....

this is inspired by the book To All the Boys I loved Before by Jenny Han

these are just a few that I had collected through so many years now, that I haven't read any of them.... there's lot filing up in the cabinet.

listening to Sam Smith - Stay with me

writing before I sleep is a good way of de-stressing myself from the whole busy day ....

Everyday has a reason for as to move to breathe in and breathe out, whatever it is big movement or small movement, it is really has a good effect to our lives.

Technology can be our best friend, and techonology can also be the biggest party pooper on our lives. It interrupts our own story, interrupts our ability to have a thought or a daydream, to imagine something wonderful, because we're too busy bridging the walk from the cafeteria back to the office on the cell phone. -- Steven Spielberg

Past Travelogue (2006)--Awe of the night

The poignant night makes you escape the reality; the place is so majestic, the eerie evening is deafening that its left me nothing but awe.

We left home at around 11:30 pm its kind of good time to travel to avoid the traffic and the heat of the sun. The night is silent, and the weather is cold. I love it. As we heading to the place in Jabel Hafeet, in Al Ain it's like travelling in San Francisco bridge the lights are so beautiful, even though my eyes are sleepy, I tried to keep myself awake so I won't regret what I failed to see that night. The place is kind of dark as we approach towards the hidden park in the wilderness, but my gosh, can't believe what I see a boulder of stones in front my two own eyes. Yes, it is! Wonderful. I couldn't even explain what I feel at the moment. Awe. Amazement. Excitement. Ecstatic. That time is the most wonderful thing in the world. How couldn't you say, "God you are so great for creating these beautiful things. Thank you so much. I am in of awe of you."

at Jebel, Hafeet Al Ain. I felt like a kid in the night

So, we reach the place at around 2:30 am its already early morning, its like a sacred hide away that only few knows it, a few couples that making the place more romantic, the place is so cold, its like where in the middle of nowhere, I didn't know exactly that there is a romantic place like this in the desert of Al Ain. The place is really good for family bonding, retreat, meditation, soul searching, for romantic couple who wants to enjoy the serenity of the place and themselves, when you want to hear more of yourself amidst of your busy life. This is a good secret get way. I am happy that my brother's friend brought us there. So, thankful even though, it is so scary to travel in the night and get lost our way twice, but still we reached the place. I don't regret any for the struggle of getting in there. So, if any given chance I would like to visit the place again and again.

I felt like a kid when I'm surrounded with my 2 beautiful and hansome nephew and niece (kate and francis), atop of Grand Hote Al, Ain. A majestic view. The City of Dubai.

And before we left the place we also visit the Grand Hotel on the top of the hill where you can see the whole city of Dubai. How we struggle getting in there just to see this majestic view because the road is very steep and the car is sliding down (can you imagine how scary it is?). But it was paid of by this beautiful view

Status: Throwback post, looking back--My Cup of Tea

It's been so many years now that I missed all the things I do when I wake up early in the morning a few repertoire that become a habit that hard to break. Sipping a cup of hot chocolate while mesmerizing of what's going to happen through the entire day in a long working hours in the office; sitting an hour daydreaming of a better thing to do or will happen in a day.

Then my day starts with all smiles in the lips and glee in the heart. No rushing hours, you are in control with every minute. You aren't clamored 'cause you have so much time left to do everything to gear up yourself. Take your morning shower, read a line or two of your favorite quotes, a minute exercises, these are all the things that I miss doing here in Dubai. I'm not able to do now due to tight hour in the morning.

having a cup of tea every morning before the grueling hours of work is a good start for a day....

Things are not all the same living in a different place, culture, aspect and ideas could even twist the perspective of a person. All my morning routing has gone now, and every morning is clamoring hours. Every day you had to rush waking up, with body pain, rush up for quick-bath, rushing up for breakfast or sometimes none-at-all, rushing up preparing yourself, hayayay, no time now for a good cup of tea.

the receptionist, the secretary, the document controller, I love my three in 1 job. As for me, it's better to have a busy job than to deal a boring day every day for being idle.

Living in a very fast pace country was not an easy thing to deal with, but you had to adjust yourself or if not you won't enjoy it even though you had the most advance life or you will face a boring day everyday. While you are surrounded by different kind of people, so different in what you grown up to, the language, the ideas, the perspective, sometimes it's hard to comprehend with their likes and dislikes. You will then realize how hard it is to become apart from the place where you have been raised, and then you will wish that my country will give much better opportunity; so that you don't have to leave, and work in another country just to look for a greener pasture, much greater salary just to make a living better than you had right now.

Yet, sometimes we use it as a tool to run away from the pain by leaving and hoping that it will take away what's hurting you. Or just take it as an experience to make you a better person.

Well, my morning cup tea has now stirred up!

(written: in Dubai at 5/14/2006)

It's like Forrest Gump said, 'Life is like a box of chocolates.' Your career is like a box of chocolates - you never know what you're going to get. But everything you get is going to teach you something along the way and make you the person you are today. That's the exciting part - it's an adventure itself. -- Nick Carter

Post: Updates

Since this post is about updates I'm happy to say that I improved my reading I already read three books in a row last January which kind of rarely happen and this February I finished 2. In my previous post I mention that I've had problem on finishing one book at a time due to reading three kinds of book at the same time. So, I promise myself in my last post that I will not open another book until I finished the one I started reading and let me tell you THIS WORK FOR ME. This even improve my concentration, I am now more focus, more discipline, more organize and learn to prioritize things.

via

What else?

I started to ...


... use planner again

... do sketching

... write on my diary

... watch more movies (he-he), because almost I forgot how to entertain myself by being so absorbed about other personal matters

... maybe write more in my blog

Lastly, I change my blog template to classic template again, before I use to blogkins template. I'll continually blogging for this is my outlet therapy.

So I learned that unless you practice what you decide to do you will not achieve any of it.

Sleepless on Saturday, Sunday is pizza time!

The breezy cold wind that touches your skin makes me want to fall sleep right away, but it is not quite right and unfair to have a headache on Friday evening when you suppose to sleep early and prepare for tomorrow church mass and prayer meeting all for the glory of GOD. But the headache gives more excruciating pain and terrible when it pitching your eyes like someone wants to take it out from the socket. I tried myself to sleep though its become more painful when I laid down I don't know which side is in favor of my sleep for there is non, thank GOD for a few minutes I haven't known anything, until I suddenly woken up by I gush of creepy sound and I found out that my sister is still awake at 2:59am sitting at the midst of the dark room. And, I found that my headache was gone, but not so good news is for I can't fall back to sleep, again. I tried all side but to no avail. So, I get up and get my Samsung Galaxy S5 and continue reading I heart London by Lindsey Kelk (all I can say is good writing from LK, she makes me finish the 4th and 5th series of her book in a few days, which is kind of unbelievable, I know myself well I could not so engross in a novel because I prepared reading non-fiction books than fiction). At 5am while reading there is a pop message reminding that I need to rest my eyes telling it's not good to read more than 60 minutes. Wow, this e-book reader (Moon Reader app for android) does an amazing job, I used to read ebook in Mantano reader for almost a year now, but this reminder message is what's lack from this app.

Coffee and Buko Pie is surely give me vigor for church mass and praises worship

Time check 7am, oh my gosh! This is what's a good books makes, when you almost forgot that you need to sleep again.

I'm the villain  who eats the big portion while Nanay is busy fiddling with her mobile.. Sorry can't wait for this pizza to fill me in.

Sunday, a pizza day! Yeah, after having not a good sleep yesterday I guess it's time to give myself a good boost. Though, this will surely break my diet, but who will resist the Pure Beef Pizza, no one, right?

To resit the frigidity of old age, one must combine the body, the mind, and the heart. And to keep these in parallel vigor one must exercise, study, and love. -- Alan Bleasdale

My imaginary adventure on everyday life

As I open my eyes in the morning knowing I have nothing to do, but read e-book on my mobile, open my laptop, surf and search what's new and what's out about this whole universe. I tell myself to don't panic. Keep calm and relax. Lounging a little longer in bed give my head a little achy every morning, maybe because its store too much information that I haven't been able to use sparingly everyday. I always look for something to do every day, keep re-arranging all the stuff inside the bedroom, finding away how to organize this knick-knacks on the four corners of this room. Believe me, I really wanted to be an Interior Designer for a fact that I am inspired to apply this inside our room and this home. I don't want to label myself as a "couch potato" since I still do all the work inside home, washing dishes, wash clothes, clean home. I knew all of this are kind of common stuff to do, but at least I am not fully unusable person who just sit down until boredom knock me down. I did not say that I am proud of this whole thing of staying-home-without-doing-nothing beside doing this household stuff. Argh!

I took this shot while going to do one work before going home - Burj Al Arab, Dubai

Sometimes I imagine when I used to work-abroad meeting different nationality dealing with different culture learning to speak their language, waking up very early in the morning not to miss my time slot for my bath time (yes, we have bath time schedule in the morning and we are not allowed to take more than 10 minutes each, though its not kinda so-human), and since we also have picked up time for our car-lift provided by the company, I don't want to miss it because every time I had to run quickly like Lydia De Vega or I will get my own taxi going to work spend my own money which I avoided not to happen, though it happens sometimes. I used to take a nap inside the van while going to work, putting my MP3 on hearing loud music makes myself alive it fuel me for a long grueling work.

If you can only make daydreaming put into reality in just a snap of your finger then probably I'll be in Paris on the top of Eiffel Tower gracing the beautiful city in front of my own two eyes, do a lot of shopping on my favorite stores like TOP SHOP, NEXT, PAUL & BEAR, etc., eat croissant and sipping mocha latte coffee while watching this beautiful people on the busy street of France, or might be I'm in London taking picture in front of Big Ben, London Eye, and post it here in my blog. You can also find me in Tibet doing meditation with the monks. Wow! I love this scenery flashing into my mind. You can't really find a good end when you want to write more...

And by the way, everything in life is writable about if you have the outgoing guts to do it, and the imagination to improvise. The worst enemy to creativity is self-doubt. -- Sylvia Plath

When you have the reason to move on because you are inspired to do so, to have better life and to have better you.

You build on failure. You use it as a stepping stone. Close the door on the past. You don't try to forget the mistakes, but you don't dwell on it. You don't let it have any of your energy, or any of your time, or any of your space.  -- Johnny Cash

How's everything?

Whenever I got the chance or the inspiration to write on this blog I always wrote that I'll keep this ball rolling in that I always failed to do. So, now I won't write anymore ... The champorado and anchovies (dilis) that I ate this afternoon fuel me to write -- ha-ha. Funny? right. Anyway, this start of January I have started to do things I for long I haven't done, that is ...

1. I start to write on planner, again. Hope to keep this religiously.

I started writing on this now. Can't wait to write more.

2. Finish the book I started to read and never jump to another book without finishing the first one I open.

I'm glad I finish reading this book for 2015. I'm on my second now... Yippee!

3. I tried to journal my day-to-day life or write a diary as much as I can because Amelie Holden (a fictional character in Step On It, Cupid) inspired me to do so.

which of these are better to use first? both are bought since last year but never had a chance to scribble my pen on this...

and his very inspiring words..

4. This past week make me feel much blessed when Pope  Francis came in the Philippines to bring the message of GOD to all of us and to Restore our Faith in the Lord, though I may not able to see him in person but the moment his plane touch down the tears keep rolling down on my face, the feeling was unexplainable. I feel blessed not just for myself for the country as well. God is good all the time He makes away when there seems to be no way.

This is how my 2015 opens for me. How's yours?

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the one you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover. -- Mark Twain
