stress free for now.

Finally its friday! Ive been looking forward for this day to come.
As usual, I skipped english... AGAIN. for the third time this week which caused me an essay to do in the weekend. And guess what.. IT HAS TO BE A MACBETH ESSAY.
ughhh oh well. I promise to do it tomorrow and send it to my english teacher via email.

I skipped english and maths yesterday, used my study period and art time to do my board. And today i skipped, bio to do some art printing for my board.

And by last period, I was already panicking because I had an hour to do everything, stick everything to my board and whatnot. I was heaps shaking and freaking out. Me and my friend Top had to leave straight afterschool to go to botany and watch PA4 with school friends. Unfortunately, we didnt make it. We had to stay for another hour to finish our board. Its just the stupid printing and such. It was annoying. But we did finish after an hour which was 4:30ish. We went to botany and bought 2 tickets to paranormal activity 4, paid $15 for like 30 minutes of it. I cant believe they said "it wasnt that scary.." When I watched it, I was dropping my imaginary balls. I was so scared that I wanted to walk out of the movies. But they were like "it wasnt that scary.." whatever. haha! joke.

 well after that, anand bought us kiwiyo! weeeee! Then walked around places tryna find a high waisted bikini bottom. Then walked around again, ate and whatnot.

Here are some photos. I couldnt find our kiwiyo photos :(
Ladies and gentlemen, Meet my highschool friends :)

meet my awesome wifey/kambal :) 

EXCUSE MY FATNESS. I hate candid photos. I wasnt ready. zzz 

hello guys, meet my high school friends :) look at our table. WHAT IS FATTY.

3 pinays. 

"OMG SO WHITE" -Pineda, 2012

I didnt upload all the photos just because our internet is still slow. Please forgive me but enjoy! :) 

I repeat, please dont take my photos. I dont put watermarks on them just because I trust all of you! Unless you're a creep then please go away. haha!

love lots,

Album Review: #3

#3 by The Script.
I am so obsessed with The Script, its crazy. I am not hard out obsessed though. I just really really enjoy their music.
Recently, I found out that they're coming to New Zealand and I am so excited. It is part of my bucketlist to see them live and now my bucketlist is excited to get another tick.
Today, i bought #3 for $16.99 at JB hifi. Its so cheap! I was going to buy Taylor Swift's album aswell which is Red but i didnt have enough money but I will buy it one day when I have enough money. I honestly prefer CDs than downloading them. illegally or buying them through itunes.

I bought the 2 CD set today. and it has 10 songs on the first CD and 7 on the second disc.

1. Good Ol' Days

2. Six Degrees of Separation

3.Hall of fame

4. If you could see me now

5. Glowing

6. Give the love around

7. Broken Arrow

8. Kaleidoscope

9. No words

10. Millionaires


My favourite so far is Hall of fame (ofcourse), Six degrees of separation and no words. I love it! Its the kind of the I could just randomly sing out of nowhere, you know. But one song really opened my mind. If you could see me now. Its a song about proud parents who passed away. I am really speechless of that song. I mean, my parents are still alive but are so proud of not just my achievements in life but also my sibling's especially my brother who has been musically influenced by a lot of different genres. I mean think about it, if their time comes, I reckon they'd still be proud of us. 

I love how even though the album has inappropriate language, what's important is the meaning behind it. Dig deeper and you'll find something more than what you think. Apply it to yourself then you'd actually think about "what if's" Dont let it affect you too much but instead, think about what you can do to avoid it. 

I suggest buy this album or download it from itunes, or listen to the songs through youtube and figure out which song suits you. This album is full of meaning behind it. 

love lots,

-N. ♥

|| We'll make it last forever.

My blog hasnt been getting a lot of photos lately due to my crap internet. So I decided today, even though our internet is still slow, ill post some photos.

SCHOOL UNIFORM.

If you think about it, you wear them almost everyday of your life. You grow out of it, it rips, it changes colours and sometimes, you even have to change the whole thing to give yourself a reminder that you are growing up. 

I remember my first school uniform, nursery days back in the Philippines. Our uniform was mustard-y looking and you wear black shoes and white socks. Then the P.E uniform was a white tshirt and navy blue comfy shorts with matching towel for my pawis.

The eventually, I had to move after grade one.

My second uniform growing up was a light blue uniform with a white belt and a white necktie, sewed on, whichever grade you were in. 

P.E uniform was the same except for we were jogging pants which I still have and wear at home.

We also had a gala uniform which we use every first friday mass. It just a plain white uniform but with long sleeves and blue ribbon. 

I remember also having my girl's scout uniform back then. I love being a girl scout and I wished I stayed until grade 6 to experience being a leader. The neckerchief as well I still have it with me to remind myself that I was once a girl scout growing up. 

Then I had to move to a differend country.

My school uniform in my first school here in NZ is okay. Its a mixtures of red, yellow and black which is our school colour. We had trackpants for winter and shorts for summer which I never wore. I was really insecure with my legs back then.

Then highschool came. Back to blue and navy blue. For winter we wear black tights and for summer we have to wear sandals but i wear white anklet socks because I hate exposing my feet.

Thinking about it now, My first school in Pinas, I had a yellow-mustard-y uniform and here in NZ i had a yellow uniform. And my second school, I had a sky blue uniform and for high school here in NZ i have a light blue blouse. Coincidence? 

As a "dedicated" school girl, i'll post some photos of my high school uniform. 

Sorry for the blurry photos.

heres a blurry photo of what I look like in a typical day.

I wear a watch to school so I dont have to use my phone or my ipod to check the time. hello ugly hand.

me without glasses and make up. This is exactly what I look like after school. Haggard. 

Oh i also have two school badges. 1 for peer mediator and 1 for the triple E award.

what my uniform looks like overall. Sorry I am not a model so please forgive me.

I have my days okay. excuse me. PBB teens at its best.

A nganga photo of me. haha. my hair looks amazing. 

I used my sister's canon 500D to take the photos. I also used a tripod since I got home and no one was home so yep.

I didnt put any watermarks in my photos so hopefully no one takes them and if you do, please let me know. Its just for safety purpose. 

love lots,

-N.♥

hashtag: stressed out student.

Hello readers!
Well, I do believe that some people actually read my blog because as of now, i have about 300 views and thats just about within one week. Pretty happy and satisfied that I might even do a giveaway blog thing for the people in Metro Manila. Tweet me if you are from Metro Manila. My twitter is over there
<---

Anyways, I am still a high school student in New Zealand but supposedly a college student in the Philippines. If I have a chance to study in the Philippines, i'd either go to DLCSB (Dream College) OR UST just because. But I dont think I'd have a chance to experience college in the Philippines. Sad life. While my friends back home are enjoying their sembreak or whatever (some dont have sembreak like CSB) Here I am all the way in the country of long white clouds, stressing out for my exams which is coming up in a few weeks time. Approximately 23 days left. I have an art board to finish and its due this friday. I still need to make 2 developments and whatnots and its stressing me out. My creative side is not functioning well. I need an inspiration.


Nothing much happened today. I skipped my morning class due to the fact that I couldnt be bothered anymore. Please do not copy my laziness. I am just way beyond lazy right now.
I've been so stressed that Im having break outs and have late night stuff.
I dont want this post to be about how stressed I am at school. but heres a photo of me during afterschool in art today.

And heres a photo of what Ive been doing in photoshop. This is only half of it and im stuck already, making all my work look asdfghjkl.

So yep. Thats what's been making me stressed out.

love lots,

Magical Playlist.

So tonight Ive decided to make a playlist.
I called it Magical playlist just because I cant wait for Suddenly It's Magic.
Here goes nothing.

|| Sirena - Gloc 9 ft Ebe Dancel
I have so much respect for gay people and I love how this song is just super amazing. Its not offensive in anyway and its also catchy. "Ako'y isang sirena.."

|| Got to be you - Aria Clemente's cover
I am not a big fan of 1D and ive heard some of their songs but when I heard Aria's version of Got To Be You, I fell inlove with her version which made me listen to it almost every single day. Also, Aria is my clog inspiration, i love her blog so much, you guys should check it out. ariaclem.blogspot.com

|| Hall of Fame - The Script
As we all know, The Script is one of my biggest infuence in music. Recently, I heard them perform live while I was watching Ellen, I got last song syndrome so I decided to put this in my playlist.

|| Kung ako na lang sana - Khalil Ramos' version
I heard Khalil's version on the radio yesterday and I love it so much! This song is old but i love old school songs. With a singer like Khalil, thats just AMAZING!

|| Promise - Yeng Constantino
I love Yeng. Shes so Rakista and her voice is just incredible. And this song reminds me so much of my past which makes me appreciate the people that I have right now.

|| In my life - The Beatles
At first, I didnt know what the title of this song was. I asked my dad the title and he gave me the answer that I was looking for. Now everytime I play this song, my mum just casually sings.

|| 12:51 - Krissy and Erika
FIrst song i heard from them. This song makes me cry sometimes but thats who I am. I cry at the most simplest things. Makes me appreciate music more.

|| Much has been said - Bamboo (Katsumi Kabe's version)
I heard Kabe's version a few weeks ago and I swear his voice is so swabe. Add a little harmonizing from Mr Lester Giri, weow, nganga ka na lang. Its almost like a perfect lullaby. Who agrees wtih me?



I only have 8 for tonight but ill try to post another playlist soon. Please do listen to them soon. thanks guys!

P.S: I really wanna hear Kimpoy Feliciano's song.

love lots,

-N. ♥

It's a beautiful day, dont let it get away.. ♫

hello reader,
today is just amazing. 
I am so happy, I cant even. 
I feel so blessed and just plain happy.
Happy is the only word I could use right now.

Life is too short to be sad, and for the past few days, I admit, I was pretty downbuzzed, depressed and not me. I also admit that I wasnt the same Nina. I would cry every night, doubt myself at school, feel insecure and would just hate every single thing that bothers me. 
But look at me now, appreciating every little thing that I have. 

I feel like, Ive been pushing away everyone these past few months. 
And now, I am so happy and motivated. 

First, we had monday off, so today, I wasnt planning on going to my morning class which is english because ..
1. IT WAS TOO COLD. and
2. We had homework that I forgot to do.
And the I was having breakfast (I barely eat breakfast) and I got a txt from a friend of mine saying that we dont have a morning class and that I should party at home.
And then I got to school around 8:40ish. 
Bio went by pretty fast, then chem, we had a test, missed out 4 questions that I wasnt confident enough to answer, saw Jemima back, had health council shared interval (the meat balls were yummy), then went to art, did some stressful art work, during my study period i was still in art trying to do my board 2. I was gonna stay until lunch but i figured I had to see my Wifey, Jemima, who just got back from the Philippines, who is still jetlag but still came to school. She bought my pasalubong that I asked which was terones de casoy. Forgive me if I said it wrong but who cares! it was yummy and the wrapper was edible :3 She also surprised me with an inside showbiz magazine that has KathNiel on it in the cover. I started reading the whole thing and was surprised the Jiro Manio, childhood crush, is now a father of two at the age of 15. He is now 20 years old. Woah. Anyways, maths was alright, we had a reliever because Mr Goorah wasnt there. 

As usual, I stayed in art afterschool to finish up some posters and invitations for my board and my teacher isnt happy about my work so im gonna have to work extra hard for the next 3 days. 

I got home around 6 and had dinner straight away. I didnt even end up having my usual nap because I had to to some paper work for my dad at 7:30.

The exciting part about my day was when I found out that the script are coming to New Zealand! I swear, seeing the script perform live is part of my bucketlist and im pretty excited that my bucketlist will get another tick.
I also found out that Kylie Jenner is going to be in the Philippine Fashion Week and I am stoked and jealous. I asked my cousin straight away if she was going to PFW. 
Then, my dad purchased 3 tickets so see Bamboo, Rivermaya, Loonie and Gloc 9 live here in Auckland on November 10. I really thought I wouldnt be able to see them live but hey, thats why parents spoil me so much.
Then I also found out that Taylor Swift's album RED is out now and I wanna buy it asap. Although im still looking for her old albums like, Fearless and Mine. Been waiting for them to go on sale because I got the script album for $7, brand new. 

Ill tell you a story about how I bought my The Script album. I was at the warehouse with my friend, Wannachai, and we always go on the CD section. I mean lets face it, not many people buy CD anymore just because they can illegally download songs or purchase them on itunes. So I told him that I want a The Script album just because me and my sister likes driving around places and we play the same CD every single time which is Paramore, which I have all three albums. We spent about a good 30 minutes just looking for the album. I found The Fray but I wasnt satisfied with the price. So I went home then the next day, we went back to the same place, this time looking for The Beatles album with a different reason. Because my mum likes to take me around places with her and her driving is pretty slow, I decided I want to listen to the beatles songs while she drives and since shes old, she would know the songs and i would too since i fell inlove with a few songs from the beatles, and again, I saw a the beatles album, this time it was cheap BUT i didnt know half of the songs. Then I was about to leave the CD section when I saw The Script album! I was also happy to see how much it was. 

haha so that was my the script story. 
Three top bands that i love.
The Beatles
The Script 
Paramore.

My inner rock-ishness is still alive.

Dear God, thank you for making me feel so blessed. I am way beyond happy. ecstatic, I must say.
Even though I feel a bit stressed sometimes due to excess school work, trying to finish everything on time, You never fail me in anyway. Thank you Lord!


P.S sorry no photos :( internet is so slow atm. I am so sorry, but do follow my twitter, click the icon on the left hand side of the screen.

BTW: Even happier because my bestfriend talked to me just now. How I missed that boy.

love lots,

long weekend.

A week of school just went by and we have another day off.
Labour weekend.
I know I need a break from school just because ive been staying until 5pm just to finish my art project which is due this coming friday. I just wish I am mega creative so I can finish my concepts and developments already. Right now, I dont even wanna talk about school.
Lets talk about my weekend shall we? :)

Friday:
I was going to stay afterschool for art but I didnt because I figured, I have photoshop at home so I could probably do some work over the weekend. Anyways, I got home around 4 which is good because I wanted to rest first before going out. Luckily, my dad bought home some wendy's because i was hungry. I stayed at chem during lunch and after getting some help from my teacher, I went to art which is why i missed lunch and also because I didnt have packed lunch. ANYWAYS, i went home, ate merienda and got ready. I got my mum to drop me and Ria off to Sylvia Park to meet Aleckz and watch paranormal activity 4 which is BTW, freaking scary. We also got our names on coke cans. Anyways...Thank goodness I was sitting in between Aleckz and Ria. FML we were dropping our imaginary balls. haaa. After the movie, we walked to Aleckz's house to chill and get picked up by Ria's mum. I got home around 10:30.My sister's boyfriend was at our place so I went to my room and got changed to sleeping clothes and when I was on my way to the living room, my brother decided to scare the fk outta me. Ofcourse I screamed and I almost punched my brother. Whutta faggot. thank God I was tired and was fast asleep when I was ready to go to bed.


Saturday:
My sister txted me asking me if i wanted to go with her to Pistang Pilipino out west. But i woke up late, around 11:30 and her text said If I wanted to go to Pistang Pilipino, I have to be ready by 9:30 because shes leaving at 9:30. I didnt want to go without money anyways, and i figured that I might be alone so yep.. But later on that day, Ria txted me telling me to 798 her if im coming because she needed a friend. Woooops. But around 2:30, me my mum and my brother decided to go Sylvia Park to get his haircut. While my brother was getting his haircut, I decided to get a hair treatment thing for $35. My hair felt amazing after it. tehehehe :3 Then we ate at the food court and i got a feijoa smoothie which was made by this filipino dude. It was nice :3 ahihihihi :> We got home and made siomai just because I was craving for some.

Sunday:
My mum wanted me and brother to re-arrange our room so we can have a lot of space. And now we do. It took us 3 hours to clean & clear some stuff. Made me feel really tired and I was so scared that my mum might see like old stuff, like old photos and letters. I was really careful. Nothing much has happened today. Im gonna study soon before I forget what my chemistry teacher taught me during lunch.
BTW, my wifey, Jemima, is back from the Philippines :3 So excited for my food/pasalubong and seeing her at school which means, no more lonely Nina.

P.S im sorry if there are no photos in this post. My internet is not letting me upload any because its super slow. Im sorry. Follow my twitter tho, click the thumbnail on the left side of the screen :)

triple E breakfast.

To be honest, I dont even know hot I got an award. For me, my work isn't as good as the other art students but im happy. Though Im still doubting myself if I really deserve that award firstly because, I dont think Im THAT good in art, and secondly because I only get high merits for my art stuff. And to be honest, im not really an art-sy person. I just do whatever. But thank you for the teacher/s that nominated me.

Today, our awarding was through having a breakfast conference. Though, I expected bacon and eggs or pancakes. Im really craving for pancakes. But whatever. We had cereals, milk, juice and up and go, sponsored by sanitarium. The event was also sponsored by pak n save sylvia park.

I went with my mum because we were told to bring our parents along so my mum said she'll go with me since, this is my first awarding since yonks. When my parents come to school, its either because my brother's getting an award or he's performing. The last time my parents went to school for me was during the wearable arts pageant where I modelled my friend's garment. Anyways, the programme didnt take that long but I was surprised with the amount of art student who got an award too.

We had designated tables so me and my mum had to sit with strangers. Awkward. but yeah, like what I said, it was a short programme. Here are some ugly, blurry, I-LOOK-FAT photos that my mother took. I shouldve copied some from my art teacher who was doing the photos this morning. errrr.
Oh well, here goes nothing.

our crappy, awkward, boring table with a fancy glass that I never used. No one touched the weet-bix aswell. 

I just recieved my award in the photo. Awkward, i look fat. ew. and the photo was blurry. My mom took this photo.

After getting our applause, my art teacher was taking our photo. Once again, i look fat. and short. huhuhu im really bad with candid photos.

With our award, we got a certificate and a badge. 

Heres a close up photo of my certificate.

And instead of going back to my english class, I stayed in the hall for half an hour just so I could skip english, that hell hole. 

Then went to art, I swear im obsessed with photoshop! I love using it especially for my project and stuff. 

Then went to study, watched princess and i, ended up crying because of the goodbye scenes. omg my friends were laughing at me. hahahaha sissy. 

Then went to maths, ended up drawing an interior design for a living room that I never got to finish. 

Then went to bio, actually know stuff then chem where I finished a whole paper full of work. I AM SO HAPPY.

And today, this person that I havent talked to in a while talked to me and I felt like crying because she talked to me after a few months.

I just feel so blessed and happier right now.

I hope everyone had a good day!

Frustrated Art Students.

First of, wow. Its really hard to think about a title for a blog post. It actually took me a little while to have a title. I was thinking of a song lyrics but nothing seems to match and im mentally blocked right now.
Anyways, I got home pretty late than usual today because I had to make an invitation for my art board. I need to make, 4 concepts, 4 developments and 1 final. I also had to re-do my final for my poster because it was pixilated. Im inlove with photoshop though. I love it! Before, i'd get so frustrated because it was so confusing and now, I love it! I cant stay away from it!
I finally decided to stay afterschool to do some because it is due next week and I wanna make something that would get me a good grade. Art is the only thing thats giving me high grades atm.

I was with my two childhood friend, Jarome and Top. We went to the same intermediate and we've been friends ever since.

We're one of the "Frustrated Art Students". I mean, design is easier than painting but I swear I get blocked half the time that im trying to produce a good design.

At the moment, I am not amused with my art posters. I could do better but for some reason I choose not too and especially because it hard to compete against other art design students.

I was actually pretty happy with what I had in mind today. So when I did it in photoshop, I was so happy because it worked!
I got a little frustrated because I wanted to keep my invitation simple yet appealing so once again, I got blocked.
So i stopped, went on tumblr and I was just casually looking at Kathniel photos and gif. OMG I CANT EVEN.
Eventually, I stopped but I decided to play around with photoshop and used Daniel Padilla's photo.
I took some "haggard" looking photos. I am so sorry, its because it was afterschool and yeah.

Here are some photos.

An example of a frustrated art student, Top.

And another one, Jarome.

HAAA! I couldnt think of another way to make his photo look different so yeah, I stopped after that. And as you can see, thats one of my concepts. I love it :)

MY FACE IS SO ROUND AND I LOOK SO HAGGARD.

I took a photo just to annoy him. 

Me after all the "hard" work. haggard. ew. but oh well :)

I LOVE PHOTOSHOP & THE BOY. 

Well thats basically what happened afterschool. 

On thursday, I got invited to the triple E breakfast and I swear i dont even know how i got "nominated" and i dont know for which subject. 

Ill update all my readers, if I have any, on thursday! 

Tweet & follow me if you must, click the twitter icon on the side.

If you were given a chance to save a life, would you?

Today was our first day back for term 4. Last term for the whole year. I am excited :) but then exams are coming up so i am not really happy about that.
Today at school, we were given a chance to donate blood. I signed up last term and this was my first time :) I was excited yet nervous at the same time. I got called during my biology class which I was pretty ecstatic about :)

It was about 10 past 10 when I sat in the hall, filling up the form that they gave me. It didnt take that long for me to fill it in. It was one of those yes or no sheets with awkwards questions in it.
Then one of the staffs called out my name. I think he was spanish or something. He did a quick red blood cell sample and he did it by doing that finger prick thing. I swear it was pretty sore. Now I have this plaster thing in my finger and i drew a smiley face in it. The results came out after a few seconds and it said 137 but i didnt know what it was. Probably some red blood cell percentage.

After that, they made me go take a spot so I did. This asian lady was checking my veins and such. I was nervous. She made me drink juice before and I had plenty of water beforehand.

It was time for them to take some blood out. She inserted the needle and then boom. There was blood flowing :)
Im not the biggest fan of needles nor blood, but I couldnt help but think I am saving someone's life.

This is the interesting part.
I wasnt putting much effort with squeezing the thing that we were meant to squeeze so the lady helped me out as she help my hand and squeezed the little toy.
After a little while, I got tired. I was feeling dizzy and I couldnt squeeze the thing anymore. I was dozing off.
I stayed for so long while the lady was taking out the tubes connected in me. She asked me if I was okay so i said no, im feeling dizzy. I just wanted to sleep but she kept on talking to me, my eyes were closed. She asked me again how I was feeling and I said, dizzy, my eyes still closed. I was so tired. She was taping my legs while the other staff helped me out. I was feeling hot and sweaty so someone put a fan infront of me so I could cool down. She asked me again If I was still feeling hot, then i nodded. I was so tired, I couldnt even talk. Then, i heard someone say "should i get a wet cloth?" then the lady said yes, then next thing i know was that someone was touching my forehead and something cold touched my forehead. A few minutes later, my eyes were still closed and I was feeling a bit embarrassed. The two people next to me finished their already and they still feel normal. I stayed there longer than usual.  Raph and Aljon were both right next to me taking their turn, and I was still there. The lady gave me juice, finished it, gave me juice again, finished it and gave me juice again. She gave me juice 3 times. But she also gave me cookies. I love cookies. One of the staffs were filipino and he was assisting Aljon. He was like "Filipino din toh?" to Aljon and I was like "huyy" then Aljon looked at me for 2 seconds and said, "Di ko yan kilala..' What is bitter. joke. The kuya said i looked pale so i tried to joke about it and said "wow maputi na ako."

This was an interesting experience. I felt like a hero.

Here are some photos

This was the photo that i posted on instagram the night before. Now my bucketlist gets another tick :)

Photo Collage of what happened. If you cant see it, follow me on instagram (ninaaargh) and i will post it there.

 Top left: The blood itself. 

Middle Left: that was me sitting down. i cut my face because i looked like i was in so much pain. 

Bottom Left: Thats me with the towel on my forehead. haha! had to hide my shaming double chin.

Top Left Across: That was my arm. It looks really complicated.

Top Right: The form that I had to sign beforehand.

Big photo: The free stuff toy that we got and my legs chilling. 

During the time that I was donating blood, I was just listening to Here comes the sun - the beatles and In my love also by the beatles. 

:)

I took a photo of my arm when I got home :)

To be honest, I still feel dizzy. I lost a lot of blood today. I think they took 600mL but some says they only took 470mL. 

I really need to rest. Im still in my uniform and yuh. Im still so tired. Even if I eat.

-N.♥

I know he needs me as much as I need him.

Hello readers.
I couldnt think of any title but this is just a random blog with a random title.
I think its one of Nina's song lyrics, sunlight, her own version.

I cant really relate to the song lyrics due to the fact that I dont have anyone special in my life right now but i love the lyrics.

Well today is a sunday. It was pretty productive. I just wished that I didnt slack through out my whole free days during my holidays. I only started revising and looking through my notes today and now I just found out that I had to do an english essay. I still havent done any biology revision and maths. The worst part is that I havent finished my art project. It is due this week. I will probably have to stay during afterschool sometime this week. On the positive note, we only have 4 weeks left and we're off. My last exam is on the 22nd of november. Im pretty keen because last year I finished on the last day which was the 30th of november. So basically, I start my holidays a week earlier than last year. I am so keen for my holidays because I get to visit my lovely homeland, The Philippines. I havent been back since I came here in New Zealand so its pretty exciting. Im buying all the pasalubongs on the 30th and I seriously need to save money.

What I did today.
Well firstly, i woke up pretty late so my day was cut short. I had lunch straight away, my mum cooked a filipino dish "Munggo" and it was nice. Then I decided to have a shower to wake me up because to be honest, I was still sleepy. The thing is that, I dont like our new shower. Its either too cold or too hot. Its hard to get the right temperature but the plumber is about to fix it soon. Then after that, I decided to waste an hour of my sunday, watching videos on my ipod. Not amused. Eventually, I managed to start on my chemistry but i decided to have a break so me and my sister cooked some pancakes. I love pancakes. then yuhhh i went back to my chemistry homework but I skipped a few questions and asked my mates if they could help me first thing tomorrow.

I am so excited for tomorrow. I get to donate some of my blood and save a life.
Halfway through 2012, I decided to make a bucketlist. At first, I thought I should just make a list of what to do in the Philippines but I changed my mind and made a bucketlist instead. And tomorrow, I get to tick one box :)
Im not a big fan of needles and stuff that they stick in your body in the hospital but I wanted to experience it and save a life.

This is a photo that I posted in my instagram (ninaaargh) 

Exciting isnt it? :) 

well ill post some more photos tomorrow, ipod quality sorry. but better than nothing. 

God bless!

New blog look.

My blog looks amazingggg! way better than my first layout.

big thanks to Gia for helping my blog look better.
And also for the doodle in my header, that was from a good friend of mine at school, Raphael Bato.

I used photoshop for my header and ahhh its simple but i love it! :)
Thank goodness i took design this year! I learnt how to use photoshop and believe it or not, i was considered an excellent student for my art class.

Oh the story behind "Typical heartbreaker."

Hashtag: 25 things about my boyfriend.

A twitter trending topic that caught my attention.
well seeing that i have no boyfriend, i took the advatage of other people's tweet.
ill take 25 from twitter and give my opinion about it.

1. He doesnt exist.
This was the first thing that I saw when I clicked the hashtag thingy. It made me laugh because I thought for myself that I would probably say something like and not even write the rest.

2. He makes me mad on purpose because he thinks its funny.
Some boyfriends are playful. Dont take to seriously if he's making you mad on purpose. He probably thought it was cute. On the negative side, he's probably doing it on purpose so you'll break up with him. 

3. He never lets me sleep mad/sad.
Well, you're boyfriend cares for you. And he probably doesnt want you to wake up being moody and taking out all your anger on him.

4. He's not like the rest.
Ohh girl, thats what they all say. Thats the thing. Us girls shouldnt say things like that unless you're getting married. And also, stop comparing him to other boys. Everyone's different.

5. He loves me for who I really am.
Of course he does! Thats probably one of the reasons why he chose to be with you and a reason for you not to change.

6. He isnt perfect and thats what I love about him.
Well firstly, nobody's perfect. But the fact that he's with you, he probably thinks that you complete his imperfections but you dont see it.

7. People say we look a like.
Yeah a lot of couples tend to look a like maybe because everyone sees them together to the extent that they think they look a like now.

8. He can play the guitar.
I love it when a guy can play an instrument or two. Especially when he uses it to sing for you. 

9. He's the jealous type.
I dont even care if a guy is a jealous type. Its cute okay. It only means that he's scared to lose you.

10. My parents love him.
For me, its important that your parents are part of whatever relationship that you are in. Honestly, your boyfriend should actually spend some time with your family to gain their trust which is probably why your parents love him.

11. He always makes me laugh and smile when it feels like ive forgotten how to.
aww too cute. i have nothing to say except that your boyfriend put so much effort for you to love him more.

12. He is faithful.
Keep her girl.  All the faithful boys are taken. 

13. He makes me feel like a princess.
Sounds better if he makes you feel like the queen but yeah. Any girls would love to have this feeling to be honest.

14. Well first of he's imaginary.
hahahahahhahahahahahhahahahahahahhahahahahaha!!

15. He's good with kids.
Ahh boys with kids. Too cute! It makes you realize what he's gonna be like in the future.

16. I wish we lived down the road from each other.
THIS. I mean that would be nice. but then again, what if you guys get tired of each other? 

17. He's protective of me.
Every boy should be protective of their own property but also girls shouldnt even flirt or get with other guys just to test their boyfriend.

18. I lost him.
Someone better will come and take his place.

19. He smells good.
Major turn on.

20. He's always straight to the point.
Your boyfriend is honest, to be honest. And its hard to find honest boys around nowadays.

21. He's not just my lover but he is also my bestfriend.
Bestfriends turned into lovers. Typical but cute. Its also nice because you guys know each other better than anyone else.

22. He takes silly photos with me.
Typical tumblr couple but thats cute too :3 goodluck deleting them when you guys break up.

23. I love it when he cuddles with me.
Especially during a cuddle weather. When he comes over and probably just watch a movie of your own choice, thats even more cuter :)

24. He buys me food.
OHHHHHH THAT WOULD PRETTY MUCH MAKE EVERYONE HAPPY. Seriously food = makes girls happy. 

25. He lets me borrow his stuff especially his jackets and shirts.
I must admit, everyone does this to their boyfriends. haha but it sucks for them, they loose one item of their clothing and cant even borrow some from their girl. 



my thought exactly. Sorry for some bitter thoughts.

Pinoy Wattpad Author.

I first discovered wattpad back in the beginning of the year, 2012, on twitter because of KathNiel fans tweeting about a certain line from Ella Larena's story, His personal slave.

Pinoy wattpad author, Ella Larena also known as Modernongmariaclara on wattpad.

As a Kathniel fan, i was curious about her story. So i downloaded the wattpad application for ipod and created my own account, became a fan started reading her story, and just like that, i became attached. I carried on reading, that I got to the point where i caught up to the  latest chapter. I waited until she would update and i would stay up late reading the latest chapter. 

I was blown away because of her writing skills and creativity. 

Though, I can truly say that her work is one of those typical drama/comedy, I wanted to read more. I must admit that there are time that I cried reading her work. It is that amazing. 

I also ended up making my own fan fic on wattpad, but it wasnt my thing. So i stopped writing stories  but i did dedicate my first chapter for her.

:)

His Personal Slave Cover

Im not sure when, but recently, His Personal Slave, HPS reached 2 million reads.

Amazing right? I mean this is just a fan fic, but to get credit for Ella's creativity, I think shes satisfied with what her readers are giving her back. 

From the very beginning of her story, you wouldnt have thought that this story would make you teary.

After HPS, her readers wanted more which is why she created His Personal Wife book 2.

His Personal Wife Book 2 cover

And just like the first book, its doing so well. Recently, the last chapter was published and i saw some tweets about it. 

"Ate Ella, nakakaiyak ung last chapter.."

Her writing is unpredictable. I was surprised to see how many reads there was for HPW. It is currently sitting on 1.5 million reads and i have a feeling that it will grow fast.

So if you're into a cheesy, funny, dramatic type of fanfiction, kathniel fan or not, i suggest read His Personal Slave & His Personal Wife. Also, check out her other stories.

blog under construction :)

i will try to make my blog look even more presentable, dont worry! For now, enjoy! :)

The boat is NOT sinking.

So lately, i've been comparing my life status to other couples. Well, simply because I am a total fan girl when it comes to cute couple, whether it is a love team or a real couple.

ship /sh-ip/ - (n.) short for 'relationship' or just a romantic pairing in general.

(v.) to endorse a romantic relationship

Ive decided to blog about my top 7 favourite love teams/real life couples, filipino version, and why i love them.

firstly, Bea Alonzo & John Lloyd Cruz

i love them. As far as I know, their love team has been going on for over 10 years. The best movie that they ever made was One More Chance. And seriously, whenever im down or even just bored, i just casually watch the movie again. ahihihihi :3

secondly, Kathryn Bernardo & Daniel Padilla

(aka Kathniel)

My favourite love team :) I mean, who doesnt?

Been fangirling since they started growing up (2011) and ever since i witnessed their effortless chemistry on and off cam, i couldnt stop fangirling. And also because they are the same age as me so as a teenager, I know what they are going through. I cant wait for this love team to be together in the future. They are such role models to us teenagers :) And seriously, if you see them together, you cant define the word space. The photo above explains it all. 

Thirdly, Patrick Sugui & Arisse De Santos

I know Patrick from PBB teens and he was that shy 16 year old back then. He had his heartbroken at a very young age. He went inside Kuya's house with a girlfriend from the outside world, but eventually, it didnt work out. He had a thing with Fretzie. And now, Patrick has matured and with Arrise now. I follow them both on twitter and instagram and they are so cute :) i love this real life couple <3 I couldve chosen a better photo but its okay, they still look cute. 

4th the one and only Francella :)

Francis Magundayao & Ella Cruz

These two youngster are so cute together  I only saw a few clips of them on youtube and gifs on tumblr. SO cute i swear :) they're perfect together :> haha ever since "Dahil Sa Pag Ibig" i couldnt stop watching their youtube videos over and over again, and i wish they had more scenes together.

5th, Khalil Ramos & Sofia Andres

(aka SofLil)

Kindi of Princess and I :) woah so yeah, i have a crush on Khalil Ramos. It started when Princess and I started but i do know that he was part of PGT and he's a very talented singer. And Sofia Andres, i can honestly say she is pretty. SofLil is cute together and their scenes in Princess and i makes me feel jealous. Though theyre just doing their job to please the viewers, it is working. Hoping that they''ll have some more projects together in the future.

6th, Enrique Gil and Julia Montes

I am a fan of Julia Montes & Enrique Gil but ever since i watched their movie, The Reunion, i got kiligs because of their loveteam. I mean, all the love teams in the movie were great but JulQuen hit me which made me fall for Quen. I am not a huge fan of his role in Princess and i maybe because it kinda doesnt suit him. In the Reunion, he's like a typical highschool graduate with his tropa. To even add up some spice, they added Julia in his highschool memories. ahhhh i swear i dont regret watching The Reunion online even though it would take up atleast 2% of our data allowance.

7th, Kim Chiu & Gerald Anderson

KIMERALD! seriously, who doesnt love them? I watched them ever since I was young when they were inside the PBB house. They were so young back then. And then there was Paano Na Kaya, which is a kimerald movie. I love it as much as I love One More Chance. I love Sarah G but i prefer Kimmy. I also love the tandem KimXi but KimErald is over powering. 

I really really love Pat & Arisse's relationship. Because they dont have to be a love team. The feelings towards each other is mutual. And also, Pat is an artist & Arrise is not as famous as Pat but she gets featured in some fashion articles and maybe photo shoots.

Credits for all the photos.

Hello hombres.

Hello fellow bloggers and viewers. This is my first post in my new blogger. Yes, new. I have a blogger before but i created that blog when I was 12, and i couldnt be bothered deleting my "Jeje" post so i decided to make a new and better one. 

I know its not really that great at the moment but i promise to keep posting and probably editing every now and then. Im still trying to learn how to make my blog as amazing as other bloggers. Im used to using tumblr but ive stopped since I thought it was starting to get too mainstream, as they say. And also because there are post in my tumblr that i dont want to read or see ever again. Thats how embarrassing my social life is. 

Im going to start blogging soon.
