Happy

December has been really lovely so far! I'm just surprisingly happy with the sudden change of events despite of the turmoil I've encountered recently. I decided to move on as quickly as possible and make a fresh start. That's only natural, isn't it? Just get back on the saddle and trut-trut along. =)

2010 has been a blast, and I'm thankful for the tons and tons of blessings. I am hoping to give something in return. So maybe in a week or two, I'll be doing some charity work with my friends and just help out.

I'm giving away some fun cameras, too. That should make some people really happy this holiday season.

Happy Holidays to everyone!

Happy

A lot of strong positive energy coming into my month and I'm just trying to nourish myself with it by humbly giving it back to the world. All 25 years of my life I just thought I'd go about it and just have this "Come What May" attitude and an idea like bringing positivity was just something silly to me. I thought giving effort to this sort of thing is rather exhausting and a plain waste of time. Now I've come to realize that it does really contribute well in ones life as long as you apply it in your everyday life. You apply it everyday as genuinely as possible, and good good things will come to you.

I know 2 people in this world has taught me that. And I'm forever grateful for these beautiful people. They can change the world with their magical approach with people. God bless them always. =)

I'm soooo happy today and I just want to stay like this forever.

Doctors Rule!

Meet the greatest all-lady team in the history of the Amazing Race. Doctors' Kat Chang and Nat Strand of the show's 17th season.

As a pair of anesthesiologists, the first response would be, "Ah they're obviously brainy and fit."... but the show has proven it five times over, especially when exposed of their greatest fears and weaknesses.
Nat has an immense fear of heights and battling type 1 Diabetes and her teammate Kat sacrificed her two-decade vegetarianism just to get ahead of the other teams. As a team they're extremely calm and collected with great survival instincts... I'm sure 7 years of medical practice have taught them all of that. Haha. They never, ever, crack under pressure! I've never seen such response to stress with such positivity and calmness compared to any other players who have come and gone in the Amazing Race. But those would definitely be their best qualities.



Nat and Kat are now one of the Final 4 teams competing for 1 million USD. It'll be the show's very first all-female team to win the race! Watch out!

Skins Novel

I'm probably gonna say that I am the biiiiggest fan of this TV show in our country. I've seen all four series, kept myself updated almost daily with news, bought magazine covers and have completed the soundtrack and episode tracks. I am the ultimate Skins fan. Hehe.

So I've recently got myself a copy of the novel. The fifth series won't be released for another 2 months so I needed the right fix. I'm such a junkie when it comes to this stuff.

It's what I would call "pocket book profanity", this 300 page novel. It's filled with the usual naughtiness that is Skins. No, actually it's over-the-top profanity. But I have been expecting it. This sort of behavior coming from the characters are very relevant to the characters portrayed in the series. Obviously there are "trimmings", meaning that the bad behavior is toned down for television because it will just turn out bland and simply "too dirty" for viewers.

This show is cheeky and immature, no doubt about that. But I can list down about a million things why it must get the right recognition. This won a BAFTA in the U.K. for F's sake. They give freedom for young writers and real people to all collaborate.

Ok so fuck it. I won't elaborate anymore on how brilliant this show is. I just know this isn't anything like I've seen on any local or foreign TV network and it'll make its mark, if not already, today or soon enough.

It's All Here For You

Didn't think that a book full of mindless explicit acts caused by teenage hormones would give me something wonderful to think about today. Yes, I got my very own copy of the Skins novel by Ali Cronin!

For the past few years I've believed that in regards to people's actions, there is one straight path and that their behavior towards others go along in that route. Given at this age I've never really encountered or rather, observed actions that involves the slippery slopes or the jagged edges that becomes questionable to one's character. Well, of course I have, but not in the most extreme of scenarios that are completely life-changing. It is a blessing and a curse at the same time. This comes to my detriment since I still end up baffled with most of the basic human behaviors that I encounter in my everyday life as a "normal" person.

I am shocked and I don't have answers for it.

But the book I was reading shed some light on to these ideas. There are sections I've read about ones extreme vulnerability to others, that one is obvious. One can become overdependent. It's the actions they perform to "conceal" that vulnerability is the thing that surprises me the most. Accdg to a fictional character I personally adore, "People do the dumbest things when they pretend they're not trapped."... and now I can see the whole side of this quotation. It is very much true since it is a human instinct to react. But given our highly complicated psychology, we may shoot out an array of insanity... or a discourse of what we expect ourselves to perform, thus, surprising ourselves. I've experienced this for years and have only come to LEARN to digest recently.

I wish I could've learned it waaaay sooner.

Fire

I cannot sit still. I just really start craving for adventure, for something really new and exciting. Daily routines are necessary in life, but for me it doesnt have to be everything. Such repetitiveness can easily depress me. I feel like it could be quite the torture to see things the same thing every single day, with no course of change or progress. Instinctively, when such moments occur I turn to seek something new in just about everything. It's like when Kurt Hummel does his warmups for a football match like a chocolate souffle, you dont heat it up and it wont rise.

I am going to start praying and initiate actions that completes this blog entry. I want something new. Something new, damn it.

SHAKE n' BAKE!

Lately, I've become fond of cooking meals for myself. I've never tried cooking for a week straight, nor have I been to the grocery store so often for a week in my entire existence. For instance, today I dropped by to two grocery stores. One, because I felt like baking. I felt like baking ENGLISH SCONES! Second, because I forgot to get myself a roller for the dough that I was about to make.

Yes, I felt like freakin' baking!

I was excited. Too excited, in fact, that I forgot to get that one most important ingredient.... BAKING POWDER! I got the flour, I got the baking soda... but hell I could not dump the dough in the oven without the powder. I need that powder. I swear I could be a lovesick crackhead if I dont get that powder by tomorrow. I'm dying to bake!!!
