United State of Pop 2009 (Blame It on the Pop): A Mashup of the Top 25 Hits of 2009 According to Billboard
To the person who made this one (I'm not sure if he's DJ Earworm), I'm giving you five thumbs up because I feel that two aren't enough. You deserve a recognition for this one amazing masterpiece. What a way to end the year 2009! :)
P.S. Listen carefully because you might hear something meaningful. Trust me. ;)
This is Gabe Bondoc's cover of Colbie Caillat's Fallin' for You. I have to agree with the people who commented on his page. His cover is great! And he made the song even better. He makes me happy. HAHA.
I hope he is a Filipino though. :)
I had a blast with my highschool friends a while ago (just got home). We celebrated our batch's Christmas party and Mikee's homecoming at Ayeen's house. Unfortunately, some were not able to come because they're still in their hometowns/provinces.
I've learned something new from this mini-reunion: Wala pala nagbago. Magulo pa rin kami. HAHA. Kidding aside, for the past three years, I realized that college has totally changed us in a lot of ways. I'm glad to know that we have become more determined and passionate towards our chosen careers. That we are giving our best shot in everything we do because we want to be successful in the future.
I'm very happy to see you guys again. Until next time, fellow Humblebees. That in all things, God may be glorified. :)
P.S. Karmin can cook an extremely delicious sisig. It's definitely a must-try. :)
The highlight of our Christmas celebration at home: Auntie Sari playing hide and seek with Tyler. :)
Everybody has his or her own version of this photo. We just can't miss this moment. It's really worth remembering. I'm looking forward for another photo like this on New Year's day. :)
"I'll sit on the front porch all night
Waist-deep in thought because when I think of you
I don't feel so alone."
- Vanilla Twilight by Owl City
I've been listening to Owl City since yesterday and I realized that... I like the band. The songs, which the band plays, will bring sunshine to anyone's gloomy day when he or she listens to them. Feel good music. Fireflies, West Coast Friendship, The Technicolor Phase, Designer Skyline and of course Vanilla Twilight are nice selections (they belong to different albums, by the way).
Hope you had a great Christmas! :)
Woody, Buzz, Jessie, Mr. Potato Head and the rest are back! I don't know when they're going to show Toy Story 3 here in the Philippines. Hopefully by next year too. This one seems interesting now that Andy's all grown up. Hmm, I wonder what's going to happen. :)
I'm looking forward to watching this movie on March 2010. Good thing, defense and thesis are over at that time. Great! And this may serve as a good reminder for me to save up my allowance. HAHA. :)
Who would have thought that a very famous actress could fall for an ordinary bookshop owner?
The movie Notting Hill, starring Julia Roberts and Hugh Grant, tells me that nothing is impossible. Anything can happen, whether we like it or not. Life is short, so live, love and laugh to the fullest. :)
I'm going to watch this movie again this Christmas break. Sweet. :)
P.S. I passed and survived the most crucial term in DLSU. Thank you God for hearing my prayer. Miracle, indeed. :)
(Practicum exhibit: December 14, 2009)
Because we're all too happy and excited, we decided to take pictures of ourselves using Sab's laptop. This is my favorite. It's just so funny! Chynna, look at you! HAHA. Okay, I'm such a bully. :))
What I usually do every morning in the preschool--- play with the kids. They are so cute and adorable. I love them. :)
Ah, at last! My favorite season of the year has come. I'm quite excited because my cousins from California are coming home to the Philippines to celebrate the big day with us. Twenty more days to go and it's Christmas. Time flies so fast! :)
*Happy Birthday my dear Action Research partner and friend, Yana Magsanoc!*
This is the sweetest message I have ever received in my entire life as a student. I never imagined that Thesis would love me this way. Thesis makes my world go round and round and round.
To all those who are taking up their thesis this school year, good luck! :)
* I feel so unproductive today. I wonder why. Moreover, even though it's a National Holiday tomorrow, we still have to go to school because of make-up classes. How sad. :'( *
Last term, our professor showed this comic strip to the whole class because she wanted to know how we, early childhood education majors, will introduce these fairytale princesses to preschoolers or children who don't have any background about Disney characters, particularly them. It was very challenging in a way since we had to consider a lot of factors such as their environment, economic status and even culture. But in general, it was a fun (not depressing, haha!) activity because it's something new for us. Instead of using the usual "prettified" pictures of the princesses, this comic strip was being used. And the class gave really interesting answers. Some of them were totally beyond the box. Hence, imagination and creativity had been utilized very well. :)
How about you, how will you do it? :)
*I think it would be more delightful if you share your brilliant ideas to me. :)*
(The event ended with letting the balloons go up in the sky.)
(This cute pink balloon dog was given to particular child.)
It feels good to have had helped and making people happy. We felt very lucky in a way because we were given this wonderful opportunity to become involved in this campaign. :)
I will end this entry by sharing a quote from Pauline R. Kezer:
"When you do nothing, you feel overwhelmed and powerless. But when you get involved, you feel the sense of hope and accomplishment that comes from knowing you are working to make things better."
May YOU be the HOPE of others. :)
Lately, I’ve been drinking a lot of coffee to keep me awake and alert, most specially if I’m in the preschool. I craved for a peppermint mocha (frap) today so I went to Starbucks to buy one for myself. And I got my first sticker for the planner! HAHA. Truly a stress-reliever. :)
