Honest Scrap: 10 Things You Should Know About Me!

tagi got this award from lala. thank you bes for this award.... (hehehe.... feeling famas or oscar's)



Honest Scrap Award Rules:

When accepting this auspicious award, you must write a post bragging about it, including the name of the misguided soul who thinks you deserve such acclaim, and link back to said person so everyone knows he or she is real.

Choose a minimum of 7 blogs that you find brilliant in content or design. Or improvise by including bloggers who have no idea who you are because you don’t have 7 friends. Show the 7 random victims’ names and links and leave a harassing comment informing them that they were prized with “Honest Weblog.” Well, there’s no prize, but they can keep the nifty icon. List at least ten honest things about yourself. Then, pass it on!

Now, here is a list of 10 Honest Things about Me! :)

1. i am on the way to quit smoking. now, i dont really smoke as much as i used to. i just smoke when i drink, which is once or twice a week.

2. i am more happy with my life now.

3. i actually started to write better when i finished school, rather than when i was still in it. hehe...

4. i dont get to write as much as i want to. not in the self-fulfilling, happy kinda writing anyway... like blogging for instance? :)

5. i used to play the piano. now, i cant even play a complete piano piece... :(

6. if youre very close to me, you know where my passion lies.... in music. i sing, i compose songs, and i would love to play an instrument again someday...

7. like my bff (best friend forever, that is. hehe... i know, i know, corny! ;p), someday i would like to be more active in social/civic groups or activities. as of now, i am a member of KaalagaD, but i havent really done much for them. someday, i hope to do so, not just with them but for others too.

8. surprisingly, i am happy being single and i dont feel any pressure right now.... hehehe.... joking aside, i honestly dont. i am happy with where and what i am. whatever is God's plan for me, i will gladly accept it with open arms. :)

9. i know and feel that i have completely moved on.

10. i dont bear any grudges from my past. i guess thats why i am happier right now than years before. :)

I am passing this award to anyone na lang who wants to answer it. hehe...

Enjoy doing the list and thanks for receiving the award! Read more...

smile...

"pinili kong maging masaya dahil mas madaling ngumiti.... kaysa ipaliwanag kung bakit ako malungkot...." (i choose to be happy because it is easier to smile than to explain why i am lonely.)

from www.smileyland.com

those were the words printed on a shirt i saw from a pic in a friend's multiply account. and i want to have a shirt like that. it's even colored green, very simple, but it exactly says how i am when am lonely.

as they say, people who have more smiles hide behind the same amount of tears. i guess that goes for many people out there. pinoys are generally happy people. we tend to be joyful amidst all the odds we are in, which is a very good thing. there are only a few people who are transparent with their feelings. most often than not, we tend to hide our true feelings, not because we want to lie but simply because we don't want to talk about it. truly, it's so much easier to smile than to explain why you have a frown on your face and answer endless why?? questions.

why are you lonely?

because my parents scolded me.

why?

because i came in late last night.

why?

because i went out with my friends and got drunk.

why?

because.......

and it goes on..... and on..... and on..... and on.......


isn't it tiring to answer so many questions specially when you are not in that chatty- spill-the-beans mood and you don't really want to talk about heavy, dramatic stuff? and so to avoid putting yourself in that uncomfortable Q&A situation, you just smile...

yes, i do smile often too. actually i smile more now than when i was younger. there are actually so much to smile about in my life that i have not noticed before. but whether my smiles are made of happiness or sadness, only i know what lies beneath them.

handbag dilemma

been hearing bout handbag dilemma lately... what to buy? is this nice? do you think it suits me? so.... ironically, i found this quiz on the net:

What Your Handbag Says About You

You tend to be relaxed but alert. You keep your eye out for anything unusual. You are a very unique and special person. There's no one else who is anything like you.

What Does Your Handbag Say About You?

Biyaya... The Album Launch

bayang barrios will be launching her new album "biyaya," on friday, september 19, 2008. this will be at eastwood city libis' central plaza and the show will be starting at 7:30pm. bayang's guests include: aiza seguerra, gary granada, noel cabangon, cooky chua, and the rizal underground. you are all invited to party!!!

bangles galore and more!

when i was starting with my multiply account, one of my first contacts is baubles, bangles, & beads. this very creative and artistic group was and still is being featured in television and magazines. i dont really remember though if i saw it on tv or read bout it then, but i was really interested in the designs even though i am not really that fond of bangles. so, i added the group up in my contact list. although that was kinda long time ago, it was only in july of this year that i made my first order.

it was very hard for me to choose from the many cool and funky designs. it was also hard to trim down my many choices into just 3 pieces of bangles. what helped me make my decision? well, 2 of those bangles were gifts to friends, so i just thought of what they like. then, the other one was for me. that was kinda hard to decide though coz there were really sooooo many designs that i so fancy... hay.... but anyhow, i just chose the same design with one of the 2 bangles i have already chosen. anywayz, what the heck with all the chenelyn, churva, and eklavu of dilemma... :D theres always next time. hopefully, i will be able to buy every design that i want. hehe.... besides, its not anymore only bangles or beads that i can buy. now, baubles, bangles, & beads also sells the same artistic, hand-made creations in the form of bags and shoeseseses! hehehe....

i am very much satisfied with my bangle purchase. twas really also a very good first time online purchase experience in multiply. its very easy to deal with baubles, bangles, and beads, and that i believe, is because of pao's undeniable charisma. ahehehe! sana naman pao, one of these days e ma-meet ko, hindi lang ikaw, but all of you great people behind baubles, bangles, & beads.

am so looking forward to my next purchase... :)

GRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i have been trying for sooooooooo veeeeeeeeeeeeery loooooooooooong now to update my blog with a new template but unfortunately i always get this annoying bx error code:

We're sorry, but we were unable to complete your request. When reporting this error to Blogger Support or on the Blogger Help Group, please:

Describe what you were doing when you got this error. Provide the following error code and additional information.

bX-d8g02x

Additional information

blogID: ********
host: www.blogger.com
uri: /html

This information will help us to track down your specific problem and fix it! We apologize for the inconvenience.


apparently, it is not easy to report to blogger even though millions of subscribers encounter the same problem. the only thing you can do is post your problem on their help group. yun lang! and you will wait if someone or a subscriber like yourself can help you. you cannot directly contact anybody from blogger. doesnt that suck?!? and if you visit their help group, particularly in the "something is broken" group, you will find a whole bunch of people having different kinds of bx error code problems. and blogger doesnt even say anything if theyre doin something about it or not. Whatever happened to: "This information will help us to track down your specific problem and fix it! We apologize for the inconvenience" huh???

this is also the reason why i lost all the things i customized in my blog. i was able to save my old template, ya... but! all the things inside the widgets are gone! that means i lost my blog links, web links, videos, pix.... everything! so now i have to just stick with my old template until blogger does something about it because the only things that you can retain when this kinda problem happens are your blog entries. thankfully... but that isnt good enough. i know that this is a free blogging site, but i hope blogger, or google for that matter, will take extra effort in helping their subscribers since if not also for us, they will not have been as popular as they are today.

Prayers and Blood Donation for Francis Magalona

Photo courtesy of igma.tv.com

PEP (Philippine Entertainment Portal) received information earlier today, August 13, that rapper-songwriter Francis Magalona has been diagnosed with leukemia and is currently in need of blood donors.

Pupil band manager and Francis's good friend Day Cabuhat told PEP in a phone interview that any blood type and platelets will be accepted.

"Donations may be made at the lower ground level of The Medical City in the name of Francis Magalona," relayed Day. The Medical City is located along Ortigas Avenue in Pasig City.

Friends and relatives organized a blood donation drive to help the popular singer's cause. They're also asking friends from the media to spread the word regarding Francis's condition to encourage people to turn up and donate blood.

MASTER RAPPER. The son of local matinee idol Pancho Magalona and actress Tita Duran, Francis created his own mark in the entertainment industry as a rapper-performer when he released his debut album, Yo! back in 1990. The said record spawned the massive nationalistic rap hit song "Mga Kababayan," which in effect introduced Pinoy style rap music in the mainstream.

The ‘90s band explosion failed to deter Francis's popularity and significance in the music scene as proven by the number of hit albums and good singles he churned out since Yo! He even collaborated with other artists and most of the time experimented with various sounds and genres so as not to remain stale before the listening public.

Some of his memorable songs include "Mga Praning," "Meron Akong Ano," "Man From Manila," "Cold Summer Nights," "Bahay Yugyugan," "Ito ang Gusto Ko," "Girl Be Mine," and "Kaleidoscope World."

Aside from singing and writing songs, Francis also plunged into hosting. He served first as a VJ for both MTV Philippines and Channel V before joining the country's longest running noontime show Eat Bulaga! as one of the regulars.

Francis was also tapped as one of the judges, along with music maestro Ryan Cayabyab and Pilita Corrales, of Philippine Idol's maiden season in 2006 aired on ABC-5.

He also ventured into photography and music video directing, megging videos for artists such as Sponge Cola, Join the Club, Gloc 9, Shamrock, Join The Club, Pikaso, Death Threat, and Pupil.

Francis is married to Pia Arroyo and their union is blessed with eight children: Unna, Nicolo, Francis Jr., Isabella, Elmo, Arkin, Clara and young actress Maxene Magalona.
