Last December 2007.....

my hair was pretty and my body was still skinny.
But now... Sigh. I gained a lot of weight and my hair is so dry. I think I was prettier before.

A very superficial and minor change in me.

But that's just what's on the surface. As I look back and think of who I was almost just a year ago, I figured the change underneath. The more significant change. Am I better now? Or was I better before? I don't know..

Smart buy! Smart books!

This afternoon we went to the Orient Pearl, the building that PJ blogged about, to hunt books. I share this same passion for books with my friends that's why I get to share a lot of stuffs about it with them. We even share our books. But books are getting the money off our purses, so we have to find a place to buy cheap ones. And PJ saved the day -- or should I say, our purses. Haha.

The Orient Pearl sells a lot of books! From textbooks to novels, they have it! We found Paulo Coelho's books with a price ranging from just 150 to 190 pesos. Also novels of Nicholas Sparks, Sidney Sheldon, James Patterson and John Grisham just cost 150 pesos too. Don't think that it's secondhand because it's not. I don't know where or how do they get those books. Hope it's not from something illegal. Hehe.

I bought Nights in Rodanthe by Nicholas Sparks. I was longing for that book for ages, but I keep on stopping myself from buying it since it's very expensive. 315pesos for a 222-page novel. No deal! That's why I grabbed the novel the moment I saw it in the Orient Pearl. It just costs 150! I saved even more than half! :))

I noticed that the books that I've read are just limited in the writings of Rowling, Meyer, Sparks and Coelho so I decided to try another author -- Sidney Sheldon. I bought The Naked Face for again, 150 pesos. This one is a smarter purchase. SS books cost 400 pesos in National Bookstore. Talk about profit! HMP. The plot of this novel is veeeery interesting! I am going to read it before I give it to Eric. Yeah, I bought the book for him since SS is one of his favorite authors. Sweet. Hehe.

I bought another book from a different bookstore in Recto. We were just strolling around when I saw Chamber of Secrets sold for just 250. Waaah. I tried to haggle since my money left was only 200, but they won't give it to me. Thanks to Vaughn for lending me the 50!

I bought these books for only 550 pesos!! I saved 544 pesos!! Grabe! That's almost 50% discount. I could say that today, I did the smartest purchase of my life. HEHE.

Post via Word’07

Wow. I am blogging via Microsoft Word 2007. I didn't know that I could directly post blog via Word. Nice one technology. At least I don't have to sign in and open Firefox every time I wanna blog. Hmmm. Maybe there is a feature here that can generate html and all that? Gotta discover.

You know what!?? I am reviewing for Filipino and Psychology right now and, gosh, memorizing is a pain in my arse! My memorization skills is getting worse as I stay longer in Engineering Grabe. Too much numbers dominated my memory. Hurr.

Okay whatever. I'm just adding word count. Hehe

FRESH FROM STRESS

I’ve been trying to post something worth reading for the past few days. I would always post something then delete it eventually. I dunno. I wasn’t in the mood.

But now I’m feeling madaldal and I want to share and siphon a lot of things. Go go go.

CCP over.
I posted something about it last night. But I realized it was awful like a trash so I deleted it this morning. Hehe.

We’re done with Calculus, Computer and Physics last week. The exams were not horribly hard. I did well except on Comp. I have no idea how to program deviation! Golly. Why didn’t they tell us about that?? Physics was also fine, thank you. But English wasn’t. We all looked over the possibility that English will be a hard test. We all concentrated on studying for Physics so we were not able to study for English. I was devastated with that test. Blown off. :(( I’ll definitely make bawi in Finals. If I have to suck up, I will. Haha kidding. Well, our prof told us that there is no way that we will fail that course if we come to her class regularly and if we do well in public speaking; so no need to fuss.

Sarado ang daan.
There was a “karakol” held this day. I think it’s kind of a parade for the Sto. Nino. I don’t know what’s special about that that they have to close the street from Zapote to Bayanan just because of that parade. So I was not able to come to church since the jeeps are not allowed to enter San Nicolas. Golly. I’ll go next week. Definitely.

A long overdue rest.
CCP drained me last week. You have no idea how eager I was while I looked forward for this day last week. Grabe. I’ve never been so eager for a Sunday than last week--so I bed-rested. May sakit?? Hahaha. I slept and slept then watched TV for the whole day. I didn’t even bother to eat.

Miss Music
Seems like forever since I last listened to music. Yuck. So I am now. I told you I’ll relax myself to the fullest.

1. Make it Mine (Jason Mraz)

2. Better together (Jack Johnson)
3. Lovebug (Jonas Brothers)
4. How deep is your love (Bee Gees)
5. I wanna love you (Bob Marley)
6. On my way & Passenger Seat (Stephen Speaks)
7. Shy that way (Jason Mraz and Tristan Prettyman)

11. King of wishful thinking (Go West)
12. Taylor-Swift songs

//btw, watch Across The Universe! Coz I will. Hehe.

Diet starts now.
I can’t study if I’m not eating. I studied the whole week, so just imagine how many calories I deposited in my body without even using it. So that’s equals to FATS. Awwww. So I’m gonna lose it off. I will. I will. I will.

GOD is GOOD

I'm hearing it many times. He's good to me, to you and to everyone. I know it from every sense of the statement, but just now, at this very moment I am really aware of it. I acknowledge, appreciate and thank Him for His goodness! I was speechless this morning, and all I can say is. "Grabe ang bait talaga ni Lord!". I can shout to the whole world that HE IS GOOD. ALL THE TIME. Praise God!
