New horizon! New horizon.. New horizon? *breathes heavily

Where the hell am I now? What the hell am I doing now? Who am I now??
How am I gonna turn out 5 years from now? Would I still be here?

I was left alone when I was 14 years old. I had to cook for myself and did all the house chores for myself. I had no one to attend Parent-Teacher Meetings and no one to claim my report card during high school. I had to budget the whole expenses and pay the bills every month. I had to do what all the adults do back when I was in 2nd year high school.

Today, I'm 22. I'm turning 23 by September of this year. I'm an adult.

But today, I have less responsibilities than I used to. I don't go to school anymore. I have no full-time job. I do one thirds of the house chores. I'm in the same place I was for more than two decades.

I want to move! I want to grow.
I want to be in that new horizon!
Where there are: new responsibilities, new people, new struggles, new place, new environment, new experiences, new challenges and new lessons from life.

My Nephew, Enzo, is the next..

Vincent Van Gogh?
We'll enjoy coloring books together when you get a little older. Or AM I the one who will enjoy more? Nyaha I love coloring books. I love using Crayola Crayons. I'll be the first one to teach him how to paint the right and proper way. I, myself, don't even know that but since he's 20 years more younger, I think I can do the trick.

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart?
I promise, I will be devoted to you in teaching you how to play the piano the way I know how. Hehe That "the way I know how" means I'm not really good at playing it. I can't really play the piano like I took some lessons. I just know a little how to read the notes, something I learned from his father. Anyway, we will stay play together and from there we'll see where he goes.

Reblogged: Bloggers Help! (1/24/10 8:47 AM)

I would like to send my million thanks to this guy (@) who commented the solution to my blog problem a year ago. He's also the first one to leave a comment on my blog. Sweet! ;)

Yeah, I've seen this before. You have all the settings/etc correct but the link just won't show up. The Posting widget sometimes gets 'corrupted' (which is just a way of saying I don't know what's wrong but it doesn't work) and has to be reset.

The easiest thing to do is Goto Layouts>Edit HTML and at the bottom of the page is a link for
Revert widget templates to default - (Note - DO NOT pick the Revert to classic template link)
You should click on that and it will say it will reset the widget templates and you say OK.

All this does is reset all the widgets to their default configurations - No data is lost.
The only time doing this could be a pain is if you've customized the widgets templates they would need to be redone - but looking at yours that shouldn't be necessary.
This won't affect the rest of your template like images, colors and what. It will only reset the widgets themselves.

The comment link should appear after that.

Here's my blog problem>>>
Dear Bloggers,

I have a little trouble with my blog. Most times, I often solve things on my own when I want do something with my blog, like, when I have to find right scripts or whatever, I use Google or Dynamic Drive. I use Yahoo! Answers too, sometimes. But there's one thing I can't figure out - ever! It frustrates me. I need to know why the hell the comment link here on my blog does not appear??! Did I accidentally erased anything when I edited the html of my current template?

There's one blogger I know of that also had this kind of problem but she just shut down her blog recently. Maybe I should e-mail her, she's a celebrity, that's why I'm thinking twice if I really should! :)

Anyway, please don't tell me to go to my settings. I've done that million times. I'm not stupid.

The comment link doesn't appear here:
I've been going back and forth to set/enable comment link here:

Also here:

But nothing seems to work. Arrrggh!

Like I said, I've been researching..
This one doesn't work, click here.
This one doesn't work as well, click here.

Is it this one that I'm missing?

Notes:

  • Blogger Comments require the use of certain template tags; If you have a template without these tags, Blogger attempts to automatically inject them into your template when you enable Comments, but there's a chance it won't work perfectly. You can check on this by comparing the default template tag code with the injected code in your template (it should be near the post byline).

I don't want to risk reverting my current template to the default one just so the comment link would appear. (Yeah, maybe if I get to have a lot of time.)

I don't care if no one really care to comment.
I just really need some professional help to fix this.
Please help!


Thanks a lot!

Clarice


P.S. Or explain everything to here.

I'm messing up my blog's template.

And it's getting worse.. Please help!

I need the Blogger Classic Template: Minima White Lefty. I used to use the Minima White Lefty Stretch. I don't want it anymore. Then, I found this template I'm using right now somewhere, which is not the Minima White. That's why I don't like it either. Now, my blog is a total mess. I've been looking for Minima White codes on the internet but what I only get are those 3 column Minima White. All I need is the Classic Minima White, not stretch, and lefty.

Dear Facebook,

Could you please stop asking,
"What's in your mind?"
And care, for once, to ask,
"Who's in your heart?"

The Bagket List of a Self-confessed Bagaholic!

I love bags.

My love for huge bags developed on my senior year in high school. That was when I chose and bought my first large shoulder bag I loved.

I do love shoes too, but not as much as I love bags. Shoes are picky and snobs. Shoes look beautiful on stands but once you tried them on, they have a tendency not to look good on you. Those instances just break your heart. Bags are beautiful and helpful. They look good when you look at them. Makes you feel good when you carry them. And the fact that bags hold your stuff is beautiful enough.

My love for bags is so real, I won't be caught carrying fakes. I'd rather have cheap bags on my arm than buy an imitation just because I can't afford these:
  1. Bottega Veneta Nappa Woven Bag
  2. Chanel Red Classic 2.55 Bag
  3. Balenciaga Motorcycle Bag
  4. Hermès Birkin
  5. Louis Vuitton Never Full Damier

I just can't die without getting myself one of these bags or all of these bags. If fortune will be on my side to get a chance to buy all of these bags for myself, then, that's the time I can finally say, "Oh I'm in heaven!" (Though I'm really just standing next to my closet.)

Full Skirt Alert!

Last 2009, I've predicted that floral prints will be the next big thing for 2010! And I was right. I've seen collections of floral prints at Zara, Mango and Forever 21.

This year, I'm sure FULL SKIRTS are coming on your favorite stores! I've already seen a full skirt in Forever21 at Megamall. Go buy one now!

Yeah, I sucked on this skirt.

I'm a skirt fan. I already have plenty of full skirts. The IN-ness of full skirts right now for me is a good and a bad thing. Good because I already have full skirts on my closet. Bad because once this trend is over, I may look like an old fashion individual. But like what I've been saying and others like Coco and Nina Garcia: Style is eternal.

Check out the full skirt photos I found in these websites: Whowhatwear, lookbook.nu, TheSartorialist

Watch your language, young lady!

When I was in grade four, I asked my father, "Dad, do know you Celine Dion?" He didn't respond. I repeated the question, "Daddy, do you know Celine Dion? Do you know her songs?" He was just silent. I knew it right then, I've pissed the old man. He answered in an upset tone, "And so what if I know Celine Dion?!"

I grew up consciously choosing the right word that comes out of my mouth when I'm talking to a person. I select the words I say very carefully. I was taught how not to be rude, arrogant, and/or inconsiderate by minding the words I say to others. I even observe the tone of my voice when I'm speaking to people.

People can sometimes be a trash when they only talk about is trash. People can also be a trash when the way they talk to other people is trashy.

To sound educated is not what I'm aiming for to why I watch my words and to why I mind my tone. There are people who are educated but still sound very arrogant that will really get in your nerves.

It doesn't just stop to how you treat other people. It's much more on how you talk to people, how you communicate and how you convey your messages to them using the right and proper words, as well as correct tone of voice.

Of course, there's a drawback. I easily get upset by those people who are inconsiderate of the words they speak. I easily get hurt when they sound arrogant. I get mad when I hear other people talks with improper tone of voice.

I wish I could elaborate more, but my ultra electronic keyboard is a pain!
I'll get back to this topic when I can..........I said when I can.

I'm Riding on a Pendulum

My Dad told me several years ago how life works like a pendulum. He explained it to me vividly. I just wish I could explain it here on my blog the way he did. Problem is, I got no keyboard. I couldn't type with my both hands. I'm using the On-Screen Keyboard which gives me a little help.

I'm riding on a pendulum right now. Actually, we all are. Mine swings with a maximum force at the moment. I'm being carried to the extreme left side and to the extreme right side as well. The right side is the positive side and to the left is the negative one. You do not deserve the best, if you aren't to experience the worst. The good news and the bad news. Happiness and sadness. Great opportunities and massive struggles.

While I'm enjoying the ride, I'm aware that on TOP of all this..
The clock is continuously ticking.

Let's meet, shall we?

Sabi sa census, may 11 milyon na tao sa metro manila. Paano mo malalaman na nahanap mo na ang taong para sa'yo? Maaaring nakita mo na pero yumuko ka para magsintas. Maaring nakatabi mo na siya, pero lumingon ka para tingnan nag traffic light. Maaaring nakasalubong mo na siya pero humarang ang pedicab....
-Former Instructor in College

Paano kung alam mo na din kung saan siya hahanapin? Paano kung alam mo na din kung saan mo siya mismo makikita? Paano kung alam na alam mo kung nasaan siyang parti ng Metro Manila? Kailangan mo pa ba talagang hintayin ang tadhana na pagtagpuin kayong dalawa?..

Tagalog, teh!

Makapag-tagalog kaya?

'Un lang kaya ang kulang para mas madami at mabilis kong mapipapayahag yung mga opinyon ko? Mas dadami ba ang aking maipapahayag dito sa blog na 'to?

Bakit ba pinipilit ko pati mag-english? Ang hirap kaya. Pero bakit kung minasan ay hindi din umuusad ang gusto kong ikwento o isulat kung nagtatagalog naman ako? Sa totoo lang, tumitigil na lang ako bigla paminsan-minsan kung nawawala at hindi ko mahanap ang term na gusto kong gamitin kapag nagba-blog ako sa English. At natitigilan din naman ako kung tagalog, at ayaw pa ngang umusad ng pagsulat ko sa Tagalog kung minsan dahil nababaduyan akong magpahayag ng ideya kung isasa-Tagalog.

Pero gusto ko nang malayang makapag-sulat. Gusto kong maisa-letra ang naii-isip ko. At gusto ko ding mahasa ang pagsusulat ko sa English.

Kung english kasi mas siguradong madaming makakabasa. Mas madaming makakaintindi. Dahil sa simula pa alang naman, ang blog na ito ay hindi lamang para sa mga kagaya kong Pilipino. Ang blog na ito ay bahagi ng malawakang blogosphere. Kung English ang gagamitin kong wika pagpapahayag ng gusto kong ipahayag ay kahit papaano, mas madaming makaka-intindi sa buong mundo. Hindi naman ako marunong mag-Mandarin kaya hindi ko din kailangan ng billiong Mandarin readers.

Kung Tagalog naman, aba edi type lang ako ng type ng kung anung gusto kong sabihin. Sabay upload ng kailangang picture. At ayun may bagong blog post na ako!

Un lang, gandang gabi! =)

1 John 2:15-17

15 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. 17 And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.

Bright Star

John Keats (31 October 1795 – 23 February 1821)

Bright star, would I were steadfast as thou art —
Not in lone splendour hung aloft the night
And watching, with eternal lids apart,
Like Nature's patient, sleepless Eremite,
The moving waters at their priestlike task
Of pure ablution round earth's human shores,
Or gazing on the new soft-fallen mask
Of snow upon the mountains and the moors —
No — yet still stedfast, still unchangeable,
Pillow'd upon my fair love's ripening breast,
To feel for ever its soft swell and fall,
Awake for ever in a sweet unrest,
Still, still to hear her tender-taken breath,
And so live ever — or else swoon to death.

No more cussing.

It's just too much. I dont like hearing a girl throwing bad words here and there. I dont want myself dropping curses anywhere, anytime. What's worse? I curse when I'm normal. And I become cautious with my words when angry or emotional.

Putang ina, shit, damnit, fuck, jableg, 'tang ina, putik, shoot, bullshit, takte, pota -- Goodbye!
I dont want to cuss anymore.

It's even harder rather than quitting smoking, in my opinion.

Mr. Perfect < Mr. Right

"Meh.. he is perfect.
Err..You are just right."

Oh my gosh, you are Mr. Right!
