Hello, online and offline friends! Stalkers, you're very much welcome too. :)<br />
<br />
Here's a happy picture:<br />
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-2jYoAsgCoyE/U85ruG5I3pI/AAAAAAAAC44/PUU9c0EZeSA/s1600/PicMonkey+Collage.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-2jYoAsgCoyE/U85ruG5I3pI/AAAAAAAAC44/PUU9c0EZeSA/s1600/PicMonkey+Collage.jpg" /></a><br />

<div style="font-size: 13px;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
[1] Me in sweater, drinking my Macadamia-flavored coffee, [2] Me in sweater eating pistachio ice cream. Yes, it was taken at work on the same day and yes I consume coffee and ice cream in a single day because I don't mind the calories. [3] Waffles with glazed bacon, banana, nutella and buttercream @ Hatch 22 [4] Twelve cupcakes at MOA with boo before I left off for Ireland</div>
</div>
<br />
Know why I've given you that? I just want to make sure you'd smile before I'd tell you my rants. Hah!<br />
<br />
I have been MIA because all my energies been drained out because:<br />
<br />
a. <b>My websites have malware and have been suspended by iPage.</b> I honestly didn't know what caused them so I was like WTF, but in a calm way. This means that I can start over. I only have like 5 posts in my other blog but almost a thousand subscribers. The subscriber part kind of gets me down. I still have their e-mail addresses though. In my e-mail. Scattered. And imagine the work that I have to do in putting them in a .csv file. And imagine. I have edited my portfolio the night before it died. What a bummer. And I Had a hard time making the theme work again that I didn't stop until I made it work. I am OC like that.<br />
<br />
b. The <b>internet</b> at home is like an <b>effing ugly turtle</b>.<br />
<br />
c. <b>Work kind of suck lately </b>because I have to do MORE instead of LESS because things weren't supposed as planned and I have to cover it all up. But don't worry. I am still okay.<br />
<br />
d. <b>My laptop</b>. My pink Samsung laptop<b> is half-dead </b>by now. The computer screen is broken on the right part and the keys aren't working. Again, a fresh start is being given to me. Do I need to buy a new lappy? I guess so. =( And that is just bad because I am super saving my money. That's why I worked double on oDesk and I took chances once again. But that is another story.<br />
<br />
<br />
BUT, there's a happy side to my story. They are:<br />
<br />
a. My<b> $50.00</b> <b>GlobalTestMarket check</b> has finally arrived. Another legit online gig that I have proven. Boo was jealous he wanted to open an account when I told him to do so months ago. He needs tangible motivation before he wants to work his ass off.<br />
<br />
b. My <b>websites </b>(yes, websites. Not blogs.)<b> </b>The Boomlet Diaries and my personal portfolio slash professional website <b>are back on track</b>. This time Ima take them seriously. Seriously, I will. I'll also merge my food blog here because I figured I still want to blog about food, but I'm too lazy to maintain two blogger blogs.<br />
<br />
c. I won a <b>huge pile of books</b>! Won the bidding at Php120.00. Colleague is going back home to Ireland and he auctioned his stuff. I initially wanted the scanner though, but my boss says he wants it too so I was like okay. I don't want to fight off with him, but another team mate ended up winning the scanner bid. Haha. I went for the books because I like books too. I'm thinking of making a mini-library in my cube, making a mini book renting business. Haha. Joking. I have to share the books with them. The ladies were like 'Can I borrow some of the books?'. Sure thing, I'll have to set up a database and I have to send a weekly reminder that they have <i>my</i> books and that I need to constantly look after them. Evil smiley here. Anyway, here's a picture:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-eoDmUo-_mZ8/U85vTxcRjiI/AAAAAAAAC5E/0rbTdBEwrKg/s1600/Books.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-eoDmUo-_mZ8/U85vTxcRjiI/AAAAAAAAC5E/0rbTdBEwrKg/s1600/Books.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
d. I got an <b>instant <i>good </i>karma earlier at work </b>because I volunteered to sort of help my groupmate and it turns out I was needing something from them so I got it. I swear the clean, no-pay back intention was real. I am good like that.<br />
<br />
<br />
The good always nudges the ugly things out of the picture. So maybe all these bad luck that I had with my laptop and my websites are just a reminder that I need to work on my dreams seriously this time. All these happened when I had that entrepreneurial euphoria a week before. That, I am going to share with you when my plans are turning into a visible path. Promise, I will. This lady is about to get serious with her freelancing dream job. *winky*<br />
<br />
And oh, lastly<br />
<br />
e. I got the book entitled <b>SHOW YOUR WORK. </b>It inspired me to go run for my dreams all the more. More about the book soon. I'll do a book review here.<br />

I have been obsessing with my eyebrows for quite a while now. I've always filled it in with eyebrow pencil whenever I feel like it. I face days when the inner engineer in me triumphs and I put no make up at all. This happens most especially on days when I am busy at work.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-06H-YGQDGys/U8dOjv6cvII/AAAAAAAAC4g/CQLppxWG-6w/s1600/70b1aa68e45f23af2f046af454b9b31f.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-06H-YGQDGys/U8dOjv6cvII/AAAAAAAAC4g/CQLppxWG-6w/s1600/70b1aa68e45f23af2f046af454b9b31f.jpg" /></a></div>

<br />
Anyway, I found a trick on how to do it the perfect way. Thanks to <a href="http://www.alight.com/blog/how-to-shape-your-eyebrows/" target="_blank">Alight</a>. Did you know that your eyebrow shape should accentuate your face shape? I didn't until this infographic. I would only trace my existing eyebrow lines. Well, the end result is good as I shape my brows often. I am not comfortable when little growing brows begin to show up. I hate the sight of them.<br />
<br />
Anyway, I am sharing my cheat sheet here. Enjoy, ladies and let's shape that brow often. It makes your face a whole lot fiercer.<br />

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
So, I was torn between doing my critical article review for my Economics class, working online and blogging earlier. School assignment triumphed, blogging won the second place. Side hustling is for later. Congralute me, loves?<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-qiPgcMd4XU8/U7_DCZ0UZbI/AAAAAAAAC3I/9A-A1kbmnRY/s1600/tumblr_n13b5hAgbi1sfs097o1_500.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-qiPgcMd4XU8/U7_DCZ0UZbI/AAAAAAAAC3I/9A-A1kbmnRY/s1600/tumblr_n13b5hAgbi1sfs097o1_500.jpg" /></a></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
But before that, this sneaky article entitled, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-weight: 400; line-height: 1.25; margin: 0px 0px 5px; padding: 0px; text-align: center; vertical-align: baseline;">

</blockquote>
<br />
caught my attention and while reading, I can't help but feel <i>kilig </i>for my boyfriend because he got a reader as a girlfriend. Haha.<br />
<br />
See, I like reading. I love reading way back in elementary. Dad got me a basket-full of books when he goes home (from working over the sea). The only thing that I have regretted is reading Sweet Valley Kids because it has poisoned my mind in finding true love and first kisses when I was just ten or eleven freaking years old.<br />
<br />
When I have kids, love story books should be out of their shelves. Real novels only, soon-to-be-babies.<br />
<br />
I am not claiming that I am this notorious reader, but I have read a little bit of classic (The Great Gatsby) and a portion of the contemporaries (TFIOS). My time now is torn between novels (Currently reading <i>Paperback Bookseller</i>?? omg I forgot the title! The story is about a writer who can't get his inheraitance unless he writes a bestseller. The lead is a psycho daydreamer-writer who intertwines reality with his imagination. I like him.) Where am I again? Oh right. I am torn between reading novels and business-related technical articles. I like wandering as a different person through books. And I wish to be a stock market analyst all for the benefit of myself. (And whoever wants to believe in me.) So, I read a variety of materials.<br />
<br />
Anyway, back to the article which tickled my heart. :) Seriously, the article is a treasure. I love how Lauren has crafted her words, depicting how readers think and how readers look at reality a little bit differently from non-readers. So, Ima share the lines that I find cunningly cute it could hit the melt-my-heart-and-make-me-smile scale. Here they are:<br />
<br />
<div class="script">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; line-height: 25.200000762939453px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The worst part about this looming extinction is that readers are proven to be nicer and smarter than the average human, and maybe the only people worth falling in love with on this shallow hell on earth.</span></span></div>
</div>
<br />
<div class="script">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; line-height: 25.200000762939453px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">They can entertain other ideas, without rejecting them and still retain their own. </span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; line-height: 25.200000762939453px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; line-height: 25.200000762939453px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">They have access to hundreds of souls, and the collected wisdom of all them. </span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; line-height: 25.200000762939453px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">breed that’s dying out. You will find them in coffee shops, parks and subways. </span></span></div>
<div class="script">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; line-height: 25.200000762939453px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; line-height: 25.200000762939453px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">They are verbose, but not in the obnoxious way. </span></span></div>
<div class="script">

<span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; line-height: 25.200000762939453px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"> Do yourself a favor and date someone who really knows how to use their tongue.</span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; line-height: 25.200000762939453px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">There’s something irresistible about someone you can learn from. The need for banter and witty conversation is more imperative than you may believe, and falling in love with a reader will enhance not just the </span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; line-height: 25.200000762939453px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">conversation, but the level of it. </span></span></div>
<div class="script">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; line-height: 25.200000762939453px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; line-height: 25.200000762939453px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"> Finding someone who reads is like dating a thousand souls. </span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; line-height: 25.200000762939453px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">It’s like dating a professor, a romantic and an explorer. </span></span></div>
<div class="script">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; line-height: 25.200000762939453px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; line-height: 25.200000762939453px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">If you date someone who reads, then you, too, will live a thousand different lives. </span></span></div>
<br />
<br />
So, those are my favorite lines. Did you like them as much as I did? *Me, bantering*<br />
<br />
Anyway, I remembered the other day when J and I were waiting for our food in our favorite <i>sosyal karinderya, almost a resto. </i>We arrived with me carrying a book and him carrying his iPad. I was in deep reading when I caught a glimpse of his serious face. I looked to check whatever he was up to. Oh, it was Game of Thrones. Book 1. Which he started reading like a year ago. Still unfinished. Haha. I find it cute that he also want to read because I like to read, but he can't just muster to finish one cover-to-cover.<br />
<br />
Buttt, don't mistake me. He loves reading too. In fact, he can read all day. Well, he can read all the articles Bleacher Report releases in a day. He likes digging out old sports articles on Yahoo!Sports and analyze whatever it is that sports people analyze.<br />
<br />
He may not be the novel-reader type, but he's still the best person for me to fall in love with. =)<br />
<br />
Blame the article for the last line.<br />

Well, it's a new place where you could share your story. You could sign up and share a story. The number of minutes that your readers will take in reading your whole story will be displayed on top. I'm not sure what the effect of this is. Short stories call for more readers?<br />

I have been invited to a similar start up before, but I have buried writing a contribution in my to-do list. Anyway, I think Medium is going places. For one, I have read a Medium article on my Facebook feed and it was shared on 9Gag. It's a funny piece you should read it.<br />

Ooops, skipped a week. No biggie though. I can be excused because <a href="http://www.loveisamutt.com/2014/06/5-ways-to-spend-your-days-when-you-have.html" target="_blank">I was sic</a>k, remember?<br />
<br />
Anyway, last week was kind of a busy one since I'm back to schooling once again. And the square pics are from my Instagram account.<br />
<br />
(1)I made banana-chocolate pan breakfast for myself. (2)The juice with the paper straw was taken during my lunch-out with my LK buddies, the people I spent with during my Ireland days. (3)The sunny, LA-ish pic was take outside my office when I went home early. (4) Chilling on a swing over water in Magic Island, Boracay. (5) Me in PJ's when I was sick. I could almost taste that WAHM feeling. (6) Free choco-banana SB drink, which J and I didn't like. Thank heavens we didn't order it. I have to bribe myself to work. I have to go visit SB. (7) That saying was brilliant. Too bad you can't read it. Hah! Check out my <a href="http://www.instagram.com/aizanity16" target="_blank">instagram </a>to read it, will you? (8) Flavors for the regular coffee. I chose Macadamia and it was divine. (9) Free candies for us when we went to Alabang yesterday. Was supposed to work on a report, but oh well. Things happen.<br />

I am an awkward person in front of the camera. I take the most boring pictures in photobooths.<br />
<br />
I don't know with you, but don't you think photobooths have become overrated these past few years? I mean, it was all cute at first with all those costume props and wacky shots with your friends. It has become the ultimate take-home, anti-vanity souvenirs. Remember those wedding souvenirs when all you can see is this picture of the bride and groom? Well, photo booths have solved that problem -- they made souvenirs extra exciting by allowing the guests to take home a piece of item with their faces on it.<br />
<br />
But, have they become boring?<br />
<br />
Well, I think they are fastly approaching the boring scale.<br />
<br />
Pft. I hate to spill this to you (because I was planning of having the first ever video booth on my wedding, the first ever in my circle of families and friends), but I just can't contain this news all to myself, right? Hear this. There's a new twist in photobooths and it has been rocking around the town already. Ready for the news?<br />

Are you aware of Open Mic Nights? If you have seen 22 Jump Street, you'd see a scene where Schmidt tries to do a poem for the murdered college girl and he kind of rocked, but messed up. Open Mic Nights is a dream. I always see it on movies and TV shows and as a girl who grew up writing her heart out, participating in one would be like an ultimate thing.<br />
<br />
With the help of <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/speak.ph/" target="_blank">Speak Philippines,</a> I think that dream would be realized pretty soon. They hold Open Mic Nights at Sev's Cafe and I wish to go there very soon. Anyway, speaking of poetry slamming and emotion-pumped nights over coffee, here's another art-scape which, I hope, would take over the Philippine literature very soon. There's this dramatic reading which launched last June 15, 2014 in Century City Mall. This is called <b>Upstart Soundstage,</b> spearheaded by Miss G. Tongi.<br />

Upstart Soundstage is like a full-length drama, comedy or muscial, only different because there's no props, no costumes -- just pure performance. Imagine pulling it all off with just your ordinary, everyday look. Tough, huh? That's why these performances need more concentration and more appreciation.<br />
<br />
According to G., these readings are very popular in LA and New York and they want to bring that scene over here. Exciting, isn't it? However, there's still apprehension how the Pinoy crowd would take this in. Let me borrow the excerpt below from the press release:<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="ex">
<i>But will Manila audiences take to the concept of stage shows without any staging? Apparently, they already have: Töngi and her partners have conducted quite a few informal readings of this type, and they’ve all been very well-received. Upstart founder Joel Trinidad, Noel’s son, is not at all surprised. “I’ve always loved dramatic readings, “ he shares. “When you take away the sounds and lights and costumes, you force people to really pay attention.” Upstart Managing Director Onyl Torres, who doubles as the company’s Musical Director and Composer, likens the medium to a radio play. “You get the same emotions, the same human drama,” he says. “It’s very powerful.” Töngi concurs: “In our last few readings, people were in tears—the actors and the audience.”

Upstart has already kicked off with a reading of Jane Anderson's <i style="font-weight: bold;">The Baby Dance </i>last Sunday and they are planning to have a different story every other Sunday until September 7. Other planned shows are based on <i style="font-weight: bold;">Pippin </i>by Stephen Schwartz, <span style="font-family: inherit;"><b><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt;">Glengarry Glen Ross</span></b><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt;"> by David Mamet, <b>The Seagull</b> by Anton Chekov, <b>Les Liaisons Dangereuses</b> by Christopher

I was feeling off since Sunday. We were supposed to go to Manila to meet up with bf's friends, but I wouldn't budge from the bed. I feel sick. This lasted until Wednesday, but I was still going to work. I even worked overtime for three straight days. It was on Thursday when the red dots began to appear on my arms. Company doctor said they were allergies. He didn't even get my temperature. My friend even gave me a better diagnosis -- <i>viral exanthem. </i>She got that back in college.<br />
<br />
Come Friday and the red dots are practically everywhere -- my face, legs, arms, my tummy, my neck, ugh. It's like I was bitten by ants all over my body. I filed for an SL. The good thing is they don't itch! And I get to spend 5 days my way! No work. (Yahoo!) No masteral classes. (Boo!) I was kind of excited to go listen to my teachers and this happened. So, I went to the hospital to go to a <i>real doctor. </i>He told me that I need to stay at home because I wouldn't find it nice if I get to infect somebody else. He told me I got German Measles, but have written acute viral exanthem on my diagnosis. See, my friend did a better job than our company doctor.<br />

I was thinking of sneaking up to school, but okay okay. Doctor orders. I have to stay at home until Tuesday. :) That's like 5 loooong days. When I think about it, I am quite thrilled. I get to stay at home and function normally. I don't have fever or anything so I could still do the things I do. I get to have that work-at-home feel. You know, preparing for the future of work-at-home-moms since that is my ultimate goal.<br />
<br />
Anyway, this breather will allow me to catch up on my online jobs and my blogs so it kind of rocks. With these, I bring you 5 ways on how to entertain yourself if you're going to be stuck at home because you have measles. Bookmark this page in case the <i>acute viral exanthem </i>virus will hit you.<br />

Walking Dead is on the works right now. And so is Grimm. My video folder is empty that I am compelled I must find new tv series to follow. I'm thinking of Suburgatory(my MBA prof told me I kind of look like the lead),<br />

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">2. <i>Clean the apartment.</i></span></div>
Sweeping the floor only for like once a week. Guilty.<br />
<br />
Just tell me how one could manage to clean the house after arriving from work with all your brain cells on the seizure mode. I mean, I am physically and mentally drained. I can't muster up having my muscles do another thing. My secret to "maintaining" a clean comfort room is by doing the works by chunk. I'd clean a portion on one while taking a bath. The next three days, I clean the other portion of the wall. Hah. See. I read that tip somewhere.<br />
<br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">3. <i>Find things you don't have time to find on weekdays and too lazy to find on weekends.</i></span> </span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><i><br /></i></span></div>
I am looking for the USB cable of my HDD. Geez. I haven't used my external in a while so I was really wondering why it got out of my cable/headphone pouch. I gotta find you.<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">4. <i>Find time to side hustle more.</i></span> </span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><i><br /></i></span></div>
The problem with a second active income is you still need to work after you have worked. I side hustle as a writer. I'd take this opp to work during these days. I am working on my passive income, but they are just too slow for now. But, I know I am getting there. I am. :) My investments are giving me coins, but I'm pretty sure they'd be bills someday.<br />
<br />
This is the time of pumping more energy to side hustles so that you can translate them into passive income generators. The faster, the better.<br />
<br /></div>

<div class="dash">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">5. </span> <i>Be a queen.</i></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><i><br /></i></span></div>
After having the whole day to yourself, doing this and that, you deserve something that would alleviate the dull, buzzing pain of staying at home not doing anything adventurous. So when bf come to visit, let him exercise his rights of being your caretaker. Give him the opportunity and honor to serve you. Relax, your measles is going away soon. Better reap the sweet, thoughtful acts intended for the sick.<br />

Setting up less goals this week in the hopes of achieving more. Hah. I'm psycho-challenging myself. Take this, self.<br />
<br />
This Weekly Wishes is kind of productive for me. You can come join The Weekly Wishes bandwagon <a href="http://thenectarcollective.com/2014/06/weekly-wishes-55/" target="_blank">here</a>.<br />

Hey, there. Happy Independence Day to us! :) It's the 12th. The Filipinos were freed today 116 years ago, but the boyf and I weren't from work. We went to work, but we ended up doing nothing in there. Because there were a lot of people who went to work earlier and we were like fighting over the equipment. Anyway, the plant you see up there is a guava seedling. Our company do have this "Adpot a Tree" program every now and then and it's my first time to participate! I was thrilled. We got a Red Malaysian Guava and a Lemon Tree. Yes, a lemon tree! :) More about Jess and Lemorie (Yeah, we gave them names) on my future posts!<br />

Back to today. It was raining today and I kind of woke up late and I love the feeling of waking up to the sound of the rain. So, you could say that my day started out good. However, I failed last week's wishes. Here is a blow-by-blow account:<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Last Week's Wishes</blockquote>
<span style="color: #990000;"><b><strike>DAY TRADE</strike> + EARN.</b></span><br />
I traded, but I haven't earned. Oh well, the highs and lows of the stock market. I should be reading more and more and attending seminars. Because someday, if I'm going to be a mom, the stock market is going to be one of the things that would entertain me.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #990000;"><b><strike>ENROLL FOR </strike>MY 2ND SEM</b></span><br />
Well, I started my enrollment. Way too late. 11 AM and the cut off is 12 Noon. I am such a slacker. I haven't even made it to the registration form. If only I could, then I wouldn't have to worry about my final enlistment in my subjects. I'll try again this Friday.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #990000;"><b>10 HOURS <strike>ONLINE WORK</strike></b></span><br />
I missed 1.5 hours to complete my goal. At least, I worked 10 and I scored another project. *wink* And it's all about tea. So the new project made up for the missed 1.5 hours.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #990000;"><b>JOG 5 ROUNDS ON THURSDAY</b></span><br />
Fail. Work was getting again on me. My project is a first and the process is some kind of complicated. Okay, it is <i>indeed </i>complicated and I am bothering a lot of departments in my company. But, hey, I need to. That's why I haven't jogged. (excuses, excuses)</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #990000;"><b>BLOG: HOW TO APPLY FOR PSIF</b></span><br />
I was tired after work. Haven't blogged. :(</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #990000;"><b><strike>USE SAMPLEROOMPH PRODUCTS</strike></b></span><br />
I did use both of them and I need to review them this week!<br />

<br />
Last week's score is 2.5 over 6. That is just 42%. Poooor. This week, I hope I can score much more. I need to set realistic goals. I can be ambitious at times and this trait can lead me to a burnout. J would agree. He told me so last night.<br />

In fact, it is an ever-growing sport already. It's really simple you see. All your team's got to do to score is to get that disc into the endzone (the rectangular part of the field on either end. It's like the net for soccer.) Here's a gif: </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And on the defense side of things, you just really have to block the opposing team from touching the disc and scoring. Like this: </div>

I was kind of lying low on the attack side because there's just 4 of us girls and one is a beginner. And we need to last for the whole day. Until 4pm, I think. And my stamina kind of suck. Good thing I have jogged for two days before the game. </div>

We didn't care if we were outnumbered. All we wanted was to play. But that might be a bad thing after all. We got reallyyy tired after all those games. Some even went home early because of emergencies. And the others were not present the following day. We made the minimum count though, so we could still play.<br />

At the end of the first day, we won 2 out of 3 games!! The last game was a universal score, meaning the other team won at the last point. That was already enough for us. Come the last game of the day. It was with a team in another pool (level) -- the USO. Against J who used to be one of us. Looong story. We lost, but we were really pumped up during the game and I kind of enjoyed it.<br />

Cosmic Cleats, finally!!! *kilig* Got it at Paseo at a Discount. Hehe. Good thing my bf was supportive. Of course, that's his fave soccer player's (Christiano Ronaldo) shoes. Behehehe. He can't wear cleats for now because the doctor told him so. Haha. But don't worry, he's okay. :) Now, I'm reminded of a piece I've written way way back:<br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
Online marketplaces have, without a doubt, taken the Philippines by
storm. It’s a whole new arena of retail merchandising as shopaholics and
bandwagoners sign up as members of group buying sites. <o:p></o:p></div>

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
Before its launch in May 2012, news about the arrival of Zalora in the
Philippines spread like wildfire. The brand made big waves after young ladies
and women united and held an early celebration through social media. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
While there are a lot of international designers featured on Zalora,
the company’s strategy to include the most relevant local brands has not only
earned a significant following but also showcased how much Filipinos love
fashion and how many have finally embraced online shopping. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
It’s not just the females who are following Zalora. You’d be surprised
that males have also been tinkering with the website to find a new addition to
their wardrobe. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
The reason why we love Zalora so much is because it has a trend report
and magazine where you can keep yourself updated with the latest fashion,
travel, and lifestyle news.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
Our favorite brands on Zalora are Victoria’s Secret, Primadonna, River
Island, Mango, Celine, and Ezra by Zalora. <o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
Why is Deal Grocer in this list? Deal Grocer is fairly new (even if it
was founded in late 2010) and there are other shops which deserve to take this
spot. However, Deal Grocer has been a major source for online discounts from
prestigious brands that most Pinoys can only dream of having or experiencing
one day. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
Unlike other websites, all of the deals that you will find on Deal
Grocer somewhat give the impression that each one has been carefully selected for
the most discerning customer. There’s this good feeling about shopping through
the online website because there is no single deal which feels like a scam.
Deal Grocer’s merchant partners include but are not limited to El Nido Resorts,
Discovery Shores, Misibis Bay, The Farm at San Benito, The Spa, Fitness First,
and Belo Medical Group.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
To cut it short, Deal Grocer is our gateway to a lavish lifestyle with
deep discounts. <o:p></o:p></div>

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
One thing you need to know about ZOO: it’s an online fashion brand that
was founded by the Zulueta sisters, Kat, Karla, and Kim. It all began as a
childhood dream until they finally began selling limited statement-making footwear.
Whenever we think of ZOO, we are reminded of three things: shoes, parties, and
more shoes. Most of Manila’s partyphiles and some celebrities buy shoes from
the Zulueta’s online store. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
It took some time before they finally expanded their offerings, but
it’s great that ZOO rolled out their clothing and accessories. And, hey, they
offer worldwide delivery. <o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
Because it has Pinoy in its name, Cash Cash Pinoy is one online group
buying site that we have easily become fond of. There seems to be something
very Filipino about the website. Perhaps, it’s because there’s a great value
for money. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
Online shoppers love Cash Cash Pinoy because it has a vast array of
offerings from fashion, home and décor, electronics, lifestyle, beauty, dining,
and travel. It’s like a one-stop-shop or an online mall for all things you want
and need.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
Did we say that the website is simple and clean with lots of great
images? It’s a website that can pick you up from sulking in your chair when
you’re bored.<o:p></o:p></div>

And, who doesn’t know Metrodeal? It’s an online shopping heaven because
everything you see on the website is something you would want to buy – even if
you weren’t really planning to buy anything. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
Metrodeal, perhaps, is the reason why Filipinos have become addicted to
“online couponing.” Enough said. <o:p></o:p></div>

<i>The growing and roaring power of buyers coupled with online commerce
has become a big success story in the country that consumers <a href="http://www.moneymax.ph/credit-card">apply for credit cards</a> to make
online payment much easier. Plus, they have the option to pay on an installment
basis without interest for some deals. </i></div>

Just a couple of reminders, as a consumer, you have every right to
contact the merchant or the selling platform to report any anomaly after
purchasing a deal. However, you also need to look at the brighter side of
staying in touch. Here’s one great tip: you can always request to bring back a
deal that already ended or to get them to talk to a merchant to offer promos on
their websites.</div>

Where did May go? Haha. It's June already? Oh well. Everything has been a breeze. I lingered on May too much. I lagged posting on May. May was great -- going home, Boracay, Ultimate Frisbee tournament. I have to tell you in the following blog posts I know. Anyway, let's move on to June. But first, let's recap my <a href="http://www.loveisamutt.com/2014/05/weekly-wishes-week-4-may-2014.html">Weekly Wishes last week</a>.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<strike><b>Stats on Ultimate Frisbee.</b></strike> I scored one or two. I remembered cutting several times, blocking a disc in front of an opponent on the endzone, catching a disc not intended for me (which is good) and... actually that's all. My endurance is not that great. Good thing I jogged days before the game. The thing is: when the scorching sun is up in the sky and you're playing Ultimate Frisbee below it without a sub (savage style), a water break is the sweetest thing that you could think of every second of the play time. But, that should change. We should find MORE girls to play with our team. If you're reading and you're interested, please. Please, I am begging come join us. Frisbee is fun. See:</div>

Does this week's wishes sound interesting? I tried my very best to limit this week's goal, but I just can't help it. I settled for 6. I would have included be more friendly with other bloggers, but I guess I don't need to put it there eh?<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I am such a sucker for lists and goals that my brain does the forward trick, making me think of soooo many things at one time, making my body dead tired to do anything. Lol. Or maybe that is just my slacker excuse for being such a lazy ass. Now, I am going to tell you all about my failed goal tracker systems. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b><span style="color: #990000; font-size: large;">FAILED GOAL TRACKER SYSTEM # 1 - Wordpress Daily Tracker Blog</span></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Anyway, I did a temporary blog on my goals. I called it, <a href="http://howdidthedamedidtoday.wordpress.com/">"How Did The Dame Do Today?"</a>. I was only active for three months there. Hah. I had a following though. Wordpress can really get you readers. Makes me think of migrating my personal blog in there. But again, I am toooo lazy to do it and I am quite afraid I might lose some posts. It's an abandoned blog now. Oh, well.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<a href="http://www.loveisamutt.com/2014/04/e-is-for-euphoria.html">Last month</a>, I started this monthly goals. Complete with typography if I may say. It went well for... a day? Yeah, just with the goal-setting part. What a shame. The poster is kind of cool. Thanks to Canva. Google it because I'm too lazy to paste its url here. Anyway, I haven't get to track my April "Spring it up" goals. Hah. So I guess that has been my problem. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Starting too many things at once, failing to sustain everything. But, I can tell you where I have succeed in -- Finances. Yes! <a href="http://theboomletdiaries.com/starting-an-emergency-fund-with-your-soon-to-be-partner/">Our emergency fund</a> is about to be a closed case. Hihi. Okay, back to my goals. (See, my attention span is that of a gold fish.)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Anyway, now, I am committed to this weekly goal thing. With the help of Weekly Wishes from <a href="http://thenectarcollective.com/2014/05/weekly-wishes-53/">The Nectar Collective</a>. Thanks to <a href="http://jeanquiambao.net/">Jean</a> again for influencing me. Hihi. So I'm joining the bandwagon! Yipeee! And now, I present to you -- </div>

<br />
This Weekly Wishes is like slicing two carrots at time. (Yeah, my own expression. But cutting one carrot is damn hard. I cut myself a couple of months ago when I was cooking curry.) With this Weekly Wishes, I get to fulfill my goals and bond with other bloggers! So yeah. That's why I am starting it. Here's my list for this week. And I get to review next week, Tuesday if I got it. Hah.</div>

I used to be that kid who would keep my Britney Oops-I-did-it-again affection in secret because I was afraid my classmates would judge me. (Of course, that was before the Slave for you and the Amy Song. I want to preserve Britney in a pink spaghetti strap with a big blue beach ball pinned in between her hip and her arms.) Anyway, bullies were present in the 90s. They're those rich kids who love signature items and whose only definition of cool is themselves.<br />
<br />
Anyway, I've learned how to hip those neggies aside and flick my hair and stand up for what I believe in eversince I came to my senses. That was in high school. I flaunt my likes subtly. And up to this day, I have mastered the art of making my interests sound so cool that people who hear me talk about my interests would be convinced that I, indeed, is the epitome of a millennial go-getter. I was becoming a guru in several topics and I like the feeling, the honor and the perks it bring.<br />
<br />
It gained me twitter followers, blogging opps and even earned me a title of a go-to resource person. Hah. That's why I always love reading and sharing my thoughts around, especially in this blog.<br />
<br />
So, if I have some advice to give to the younger bosses to the world, it is to shout out whatever you believe in and walk the talk. One way to do this is to wear your vision on your wrist. Literally, on your wrist like this:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-r5T3hp0azPE/U4AZeAdrGZI/AAAAAAAACrg/ht1v7jOn_FA/s1600/2014-05-24_115925.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-r5T3hp0azPE/U4AZeAdrGZI/AAAAAAAACrg/ht1v7jOn_FA/s1600/2014-05-24_115925.jpg" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
You could even make your own customized <a href="http://www.instila.com/collections/inspirational-wristbands" target="_blank">motivational wristbands</a>! Why do I encourage you to never be ashamed of what you believe in? There's lot of things that could happen. Here are just some:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>You get to attract people with similar causes and you get to interact with them. </li>
<li>Then maybe, you may get that start up that you are always passionate about. </li>
<li>You will be able to do the things that you love to do once in a while --</li>
<li>Paid or not, you will be able to expose yourself to a certain audience. And this is a start!</li>
<li>You may turn your side hustling of your passion into a regular thing.</li>
<li>Who knows, you might be able to work around a business plan for that?</li>
<li>You could help people like you come out in the open. </li>
<li>You could make your life a little more interesting for you (at the start) -- and the people around you (it'll come.)</li>
<li>You live out your passions and eliminate all the what if's in your life.</li>
<li>You get to live a life that you dream of!</li>
</ul>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Promise, it'll get big if you just keep believing in your vision everyday. It's like giving out little magnets to the universe. Leave tracks. Leave meaningful tracks. Eventually, you will be noticed. You will be found. You will be noted. And when that time comes, give it your all. </div>

I have a feeling that I suck at being a great best friend, but I do have a lot of friends and <i>kulitan </i>buddies so I figured being my friend doesn't totally suck. However, since I want to paint a rainbow in my friends' faces and feed them with gummy bears for the rest of their lives, I am making a list on how one can be the best friend ever! Well, for twenty somethings that is.<br />

Booyah! I'm back! :)<br />
<br />
It's been a crazy while and ever since my feet landed on Philippine soil, I have been skipping the nightly internet sessions. Instead, I a.) bond with the boyfriend, b.) watch some Grimm, c.)eat dinner elsewhere, d.) go window shopping or e.) sleep early. Hah!<br />
<br />
To be fair with myself, I have been productive ever since I got back. In work. Nearly finished all my to-do things. And with my finances. Yahoo! Here are the deets:<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
★ First of all, we made up for the lost times! We visited the meal joints that I have missed! I have engorged the following ever since: the Spicy Chicken and peach mango pie from Jollibee, the fried tokwa in a mini-resto in front of my apartment, Manang's Chicken, Goto in a sosyal karinderya a trike away from where I live. Haha! I haven't eaten everything that I have missed yet -- talk about baked talaba, grilled squid, grilled fish! Oh my. That is reserved next week. When I go home to my hometown for several days! Yahoo. ;)<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
★ As planned, we have bought Go Pro Hero 3+ Black edition and a Nikon d5200! We have already test run it when we went to Laguna to go visit my cousins last weekend. One sample screenshot above. Cool, eh? My only problem is I look bad in pictures, especially when my hair is wet when all you can see is my wide forehead. Haha. But these babies aren't for selfies anyway. They're for my blog and for our adventures. Memories ought to be kept alive in front of our eyes, right? The didn't went well because before I can even start dipping into the water, mom called to inform me of a bad news:<br />
<br />
★ My dog died. And it was hell painful and I don't want to talk about it. But I have poured out my emotions here: <a href="http://thelustmanifesto.wordpress.com/2014/05/12/to-the-man-who-run-over-my-dog-with-his-car/" target="_blank">To the Man Who Ran Over My Dog With His Car</a>. I'll be adorning her spot with flowers and candles when I get back. =,(((<br />
<br />
★ I have started a UITF and one Mutual Fund and I am planning to buy shares of DD, which I should have done so weeks ago. Such a bummer. So yes, my investments are increasing once again and I am thrilled to see my money grow. As they say, putting in money into your investment is like buying a day that you don't have to work in the future.<br />
<br />
★ I bought a red medium-sized fridge. And it's the cutest fridge ever. We're going healthy. We're cooking to save up on money and to have a healthier lifestyle. And we have been reading induction cooker pros and cons and we're leaning to buying one. So yey for healthy living! :)<br />
<br />
That's all. Have to go eat dinner.<br />

I was walking on the car park, unsure of where to pass. I've been in here for three months, but still I can't figure where to pass to go to building number 5 from my area. I was walking and walking past the cars until I spotted an open gate which would lead me to the familiar road. Okay. Relief.<br />
<br />
I am going there to bid goodbye to the bosses and the management people from my group. I just alerted them that day that I am going home the next day and they thought my flight is still next week. So, we haven't had that formal dinner, but that's okay, because the guys who are with me on The Loft (our area) treated me to lunch yesterday and I had a weird experience, but that's another story so...<br />
<br />
Moving on, my Diesel jacket (lol, gray with pink letterings) cannot just filter out the cold, so I put the hoodie on. A car was heading towards my direction and it was Kuya N, a fellow Pinoy working in our office. He stopped, went down and said goodbye. And he said, <i>"Oh, bawal iyak." (Crying is prohibited). </i>And inside I was like, <i>"Pft. I won't."</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
So I continued my journey to building B and after that to my offshore manager to building C. Got to talk a lot about stuff -- work, the socials that I had, the people I've met, my flight schedule. Yadda yadda yadda.<br />
<br />
I went back to my building to get back to the tester to my buddy, S who was still having some problems with the new code. <i>Effing code</i>, theoretically, it would work. But, in the real world inside the tester, it didn't. I stayed until the last minute, figuring out the bug, but haven't created a solution. Gawd, my brain is floating. <i>I am going home tomorrowwww! </i>I just felt like I need to solve it before I go home. I stayed with S through the afternoon because I felt like I owed it to him because he and his wife has been sweet to me, giving me an Easter choclit egg last Easter Monday.<br />
<br />
People were like talking to me that afternoon telling me their goodbyes and the hopeful chances of seeing me again. Their bids of a happy flight and thoughts wishing I had a great time here. And when time finally came for me to go home, I went straight to my cube, fix my things. The documents that I need to bring. The laptop charger. The post its filled with my strikethroughed to-do's. And that's when the heavy heart kicked in.<br />
<br />
<i>I am finally leaving. After three months. Three beautiful months. </i><br />
<i><br /></i>
I have to say goodbye to quirky officemates telling me of funny stories. My cool mentor who is <i>effing</i> master on programming. My sweet Congonese buddy who is on a diet, but ate meat and drink beer during my lunch out because it's supposed to be a celebration. The kind-hearted Pinoys who are already working there -- the ones whom made us feel instantly comfortable and who would take us to trips here and there and the ones who would accompany us during tea time and lunch time. My officemates whom I have only met here and whom have I grown fond of in just a short time because they're the only ones I got everyday (lol, kidding.)<br />
<br />
I always say I am a detached dame, but this time, I realized how unfair life has to throw in people into our lives just to take them away on a certain and proclaimed time. It's beautifully bitter how you get to connect with these people without knowing that they've grown to be a part of you until the time when you get to say goodbye to them.<br />
<br />
But, that's how some people get to walk into your life. All you have to do is walk with them slowly, gracefully, happily, thoughtfully... until your fork road option presents itself and theirs lead them to a path a couple of degree different from yours. Because that's what makes the roads special -- the people whom have trodden the same paths as you.<br />
<br />
<i>I got that picture on top while I was on my way to the other building earlier. I would have uprooted and blown it away, but I still can't cut life out of a struggling flower.</i><br />

I always do this <a href="http://www.loveisamutt.com/2013/07/swimsuit-shopping-for-baler-beach-fest.html" target="_blank">online bikini shopping</a> when I am about to go on a summer getaway. When I get back to my home country, I swear I am going to a beach where you can actually swim in, not in one that's<a href="http://www.loveisamutt.com/2014/04/h-is-for-happy-beaching-ballybunion.html" target="_blank"> too cold enough even just for your toes</a>.<br />
<br />
So, yeah. I kind of piled up again the swim suit that I would preferably sashay in if I were slim enough. My dream one day is to have that surf-hot picture in a bikini taming a wave on a pink board. Hah! Sailor-inspired ones and the pin-up vintage feels are kind of overrated so take a look at my picks:<br />

First of all, florals never bore me. Well, the non-curtain breed ones. I think the top has a sweet innocent cut. Don't know what it's called so I decided to call it straight cut. I think this would be a great cut for a bridal gown too. The bottoms though are kind of loud because of the added strings. I would prefer the plain black one with ribbons on the side.<div>

Simple, yet classic chic, eh? Only if the suit would hug my delectable curves like that and my boobies would actually form out, then I would definitely wear this. I can maybe even do my own typography? Like <i>Life Luster </i>or <i>Dreamer </i>or <i>.. Foodie? </i>Haha.</div>

I've been digging for things in cosmic designs like <a href="http://www.whoateallthepies.tv/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/HO13_FB_CR7_Lateral_23942-650x433.jpg" target="_blank">football cleats</a>, tops and even bags, but nothing has tickled my fancy here. No bikinis in cosmic here either. I figured an ethereal cosmic hipster would be cool on a paddleboard.</div>

There was this one morning when all I could manage to do is stare at Pinterest pics with Aztec skirts. They're really cute when you wear them on winter. However, again, I can't find them here. They're like just black and white and I saw a pic of the girlfriend of my cousin's boyfriend in a store selling these so maybe I should wait until I get back in my homecountry. And this is like 2 slumbers away!! So, yeah, I'm pumped.<br /><br />

I love watermelons! They're pink and green! And pink and green look cute together with all those black seeds scattered. This fruity-tini is just too cute I would purchase them in a heartbeat given I lay my eyes on them in a store. Thinking they're suggestive? Oh no. Let me wear it and you'll never see seduction on any inch of my skin. Haha! So, please. If you know a store selling fruity-tini's, please tell me.<br />

<span style="color: #990000; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">The Rules:</span></h6>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1. Post a picture of the Sunshine Blogger Award (Made this on Canva since I am supah lazy these days for Photoshop) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
2. Post 11 random facts about yourself </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
3. Answer 11 questions from the nominating blogger </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
4. Link back to the blogger who nominated you </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
5. Nominate 11 wonderful bloggers, that you feel bring sunshine to the blogging world. (Be sure to notify them) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
6. Write 11 questions for your nominated bloggers</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b><span style="color: #990000; font-size: large;">Now, the Hard Part</span></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I'd like you to know that this is mandatory and not some kind of a narcissistic post again. Tagger says I should spill out 11 facts about myself. So here goes. Hope you'll make it all the way to eleven.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1. I'm kind of <b>BIG DEAL</b> on my blog so suck up my posts. Lol! :) I declare that I am this and that and people on twitter follow me for that. Yeah, as they say, you gotta believe in yourself if you want to do something. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
2. I have a<b> LOT of going on in my life</b> because if I only remain to be a test engineer, I would die of boredom! To know what LOT means, you have to go through my posts. Blehehehe.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
3. I am <b>leaving <a href="http://www.loveisamutt.com/search?q=lost+in+ireland" target="_blank">Ireland</a></b> in a week's time and I kind of feel bummed about it since I love working here!! People are upfront and things are always in the fast track lane. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
4. And oh,<b> I always win in Poker games </b>-- one against my ka-Pinoys and the other with the Irish people. Haha! Placed 3rd last night. Third out of 16 Irish engineers! Hah. They said I was the best person they played against outside of their "Poker circle". Pays much for being such a Pokerface. People usually think I am dumb and shallow, but that's a good thing because I always blew their minds away at the end, unguarded. Hah. Take that. (If you think I boast here, please refer to item no. 1. =P ) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
5. I honestly think<b> I could beat my boyfriend at Poker</b>. He has his own Poker circle and experience wise, he's advanced. But I still honestly think I could kick his ass. Haha. I just like challenging him around.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
6. <b>I like lists</b>. My to-do list for the day. My Life List. But this one is hard. I have pledged not to talk about me in my future posts because no one actually cares if you blog about yourself except if you're interesting enough.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
7. I want to be an <b><a href="http://theboomletdiaries.com/" target="_blank">influential writer and a financial service expert</a> </b>whose passive income is way above my expenses.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
8. Reason for number 7 is because<b> I am lazy</b> that I want to just blog and blog and travel and eat, eat, doodle, doodle, cook and make little fashionistas out of my future kids, have fun with them in the kitchen while not ignoring my dogs. In short, I want to live for my passions, help people in need and bring back all the glory to HIM. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
9. I'm a <b>proud co-owner of a GoPro Hero 3+ Black</b> edition! Boyfriend bought it. Can't wait for photo and adventure dates with him!</div>

11. <strike>I sincerely hope that I emit the hipster aura. But <i>real </i>hipsters eat healthy and deny being a hipster so I should erase my hopes of being perceived as a hipster and act like </strike> I AM NOT A HIPSTER.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN-PH">It’s not only your skin that needs protection from the
sun. Use hair care products that have UV protection. Look for products with
sunflower or helianthus annuus which is an all-natural UV protectant that does
not only protect your hair from the sun. It also acts an emollient which
provides and locks in moisture. But, cut down on shampoo so you can allow your
scalp’s oil production to re-balance itself which is very important for
moisture especially during this season. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN-PH">Wear hats or hair scarves to instantly guard your hair
from the harmful sun exposure. If you have enough time to fix your hair, go for
the messy braids or gentle up-dos. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN-PH">Getting the perfect tan or sun-kissed skin is very
tricky because most people end up suffering from sunburn. Opt for a self-tanner
so you can get the glow minus the damage. To make sure that you get an even
complexion, avoid scents with citrus notes like bergamot because there’s a high
possibility for you to develop dark spots in the sun.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN-PH">When exfoliating, use a grainy scrub or puff to slough
off dull, dead skin cells in the shower. However, use gentle circular motions
to avoid redness, irritation, tightness, dryness, flaking skin, stinging, and
burning sensation. Before getting a facial or diamond peel, consult a
dermatologist. There are <a href="http://www.moneymax.ph/credit-card">credit
card deals</a> that offer promos with free derma consultations and discounts on
services. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN-PH">On sunscreen, Dr. Debra Jaliman, a New York-based
dermatologist advises, “Get into a habit of using sunscreen always, even on
cloudy days as UV light penetrates the clouds. Sun damage is cumulative. And
don’t forget to protect your lips. If you are oily, use a light lotion, gel, or
powder. And, if you have dry skin, use a moisturizing one.” <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN-PH">Never (ever) wear too much makeup during summertime.
Aside from the fact that you may instantly become the talk of the town, wearing
layers of foundation and color can actually keep you from parading that glowing
skin. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN-PH">Apply minimal makeup. Only use foundation and
concealer on dark spots. Skip the eye shadow and go straight to applying
luminizer on your brow bones (under your eyebrows), cheekbones, down the center
of your nose, and in the dip of your cupid’s bow. You can also dab some
luminizer along the high point of your collarbone. Choose a light coral or pink
shade for cheeks and lips. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-PH">While you may be ready to flash your Photoshop-looking
bods, going hairless may save you from a Chewbacca nightmare! If you’re a fan
of shaving, you might as well rethink your beauty regimen because shaving
causes skin darkening and chicken skin.
Go to the waxing salon or skin clinic for a laser hair treatment. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
So, my lazy days here have been spent with a guy named Monroe.<br />
<br />
Monroe is a kind-hearted, reformed man who strives to protect the loves of his life everytime. And he has a funny knack in doing so. He used to be a monster, but now he is into Yoga, strict diet and Pilates. And he knows how to cook! And more importantly, he is funny. Adorably funny.<br />
<br />
Okay okay. I am talking about a fictional character in Grimm. You know Grimm? The TV show which includes all the monsters you can think of (<i>Aswang </i>was featured there) and a hero who protects the world from it. It was sort of like RIPD and I sort of disliked the start of the Grimm season since i saw RIPD first. The concept is kind of the same -- cops who gets the bad guys. The real bad guys as in monsters -- Wesen.<br />
<br />
I got hooked with Grimm. I'm catching up with Season2, but the show is already in its 3rd season. So, let's talk about Monroe. Here's a clip. You be the judge. Tell me if he's cute or not.<br /><!--3--><!--3--><!--3--><br />

Three days before my birthday, we decided to go on a mini road trip to the beach. Because we're missing the Philippine summer and we're kind of stuck here in Limerick with an 11C kind of weather. Thanks to C's superb travel skills, we have arrived on the beautiful shoreline of Ballynunion Beach! It's like 2-3 hours away from where we live here in Ireland.<br />
<br />
But before that, we stopped over at <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foynes" target="_blank">Foynes</a> just to take a sip of the famous Irish coffee. We snacked at O'Regan's Restaurant, a little cafe beside the Foynes Flying Boat Museum.<br />

Irish coffee is actually a cocktail consisted of hot coffee, Irish whiskey and sugar stirred in together and topped with a thick cream. The drink was conceived one wintery night in th 1940s when American passengers passed hopped off from a Pan Am flying boat. To warm up the travelers, chef Joe Sheridan added whiskey into their coffees.<br />

And this is my order down below. It was the most delicious brownie that have ever gone through my mouth. I am not a huge chocolate fan, but this. THIS. This made me believe in chocolate fairies. The cream was there to tone the sweetness down. If I know how to drive, I could just drive by Foynes and eat this devilish dessert every Sunday afternoon. </div>

The sand was sort of similar to the ones we have in Boracay (oh I am going there this May!!), but the color is a shade darker or creamier? I thought it was. After walking down the beach, we mini-hiked towards this spot!</div>

We found this little cliff where you can just breathe in the entire scenery -- the creamy sands below and the blue sky above dotted occasionally with seagulls. </div>

<br />
And we kind of felt that we need to stay on that cliff for a few more minutes... Yes, just another 10 minutes because we just couldn't resist the sweetness of this spot. At that point, we wished we had brought some food to munch on.<br />
<br />
But, all good things must come to an end so we raised up our lazy butts and walked up on the other cliff where the remnants of a castle was still standing.<br />

This very cliff that I am sitting on used to separate the Men's Beach from the Ladies' Beach. That's how conservative the Irish people were in the olden days. They have separate beaches!<br />

After that, we climbed back down towards the shore again and I said that we should at least let the Atlantic Ocean kiss our toes. We just have to get rid of our boots and play with the washing waves. So, off we went. </div>

It was freezzzing cold. It's as if I was stepping on ice cold ice!! The first steps on the wet sand was the hardest as the freeze could easily creep up to my chest. My toes would be numb within minutes and when the water blankets up the sand that I am standing on and my bare feet, I couldn't help but give out a little scream. It was freezzzing! But it was enjoyable. </div>

After some time, your body learns how to deal with the cold. You would just shrug it off. :) We even met a local walking his two dogs. I have predicted that one dog was young (as he would catch the balls the other kids are playing with) and the other was old (he walks slowly with exerted effort). Turned out the old dog was 13 years old!<br />

The day must come to an end and we drove back home. It was a different beach experience for me. I haven't imagined myself coming to the beach in boots and in a winter jacket! Haha. This Sunday chill in Ballybunion Beach definitely makes it on the list of my favorite Ireland adventures. </div>

If your favorite blog is not here, you could always submit the link to <a href="https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1UBek4r0Jbz-IlB_s97PAEyJhroidlaKkXT2AtJms4sk/viewform" target="_blank">BloggersPH</a>. Just make sure that the blog you are going to submit is at least 3 months old with a minimum of 12 posts.<br />
<br />
Now, since I got myself into this blogging thing, I sort of thought that I should at least be conscious of what and how I blog. I have these notes that I want myself to remember and I want to share them to you as they might help you too.<br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Publish posts worth reading. Personal posts can be made into "thoughts" instead (sort of like talk in a third person or throw in related experiences so other people could relate).</li>
<li>Snap/Create my own blog post pictures/typography. And infuse it with my fade, vsco-ish style.</li>
<li>Categorize! Make that Category sidebar clickables. This way, readers can just filter away.</li>
<li>Blog swap. Create own set of blog icons. </li>
<li>Check for spelling and grammar mistakes. {It has been my habit of blabbing through the keyboards and pressing 'Publish' right away. So when people said they've read my blog, I'm like </li>
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<br />
That's all that I could think of right now.</ul>

When it comes to achieving my dreams, I always try to feel that euphoria which comes with their perceived realization. It enables you to vision yourself being there on your cloud of choice, breathing in all that is.<br />
<br />
To further reinforce my yearly goals, I decided to break it down a bit into monthly goals, a thing which I did previously on a secret blog because I was not open enough to share my monthly goals here. However. Now that I am serious in inspiring people and enforcing them to keep their day job while following their bliss, I want to share the things that I do in order to achieve financial independence and do the things that I really want to do in life.<br />
<br />
So, let's start with me renewal month, <a href="http://www.loveisamutt.com/2014/04/day-5-is-for-april.html" target="_blank">April</a>. Below is my goals for April. Short list, I may say because there's only 2 weeks left for my favorite month. At the end of each month, I'm going to do an evaluation of my performance. :)<br />
