The Jollibee 2012 Planner

January 6, 2012

Sorry that I am saying it right upfront in this post but receiving this planner reminded me of that incident two weeks ago that involved getting hospitalized and almost getting myself in danger, some incident that’s related to my health.

Two weeks. It’s been that long since that incident. But I don’t want to dwell on that anymore. 2012 means new slate and all so.. going back to the topic.

I got this planner from Jollibee today. It was delivered to our house since during the time that I had ordered from them (for food delivery, December 19) they didn’t have these on-stock at their branch. They said they would deliver once they re-stock. Today was that day that they finally re-stocked their planners and I seem to have received the prettier design of their planners. For the curious, here’s the other design for the planner. Pretty plain, don’t you think??

So anyway, I was excited when my mom called me to get the item… only to be stumped and a little disappointed when I saw the item in person for the first time. )

Oh well, this was free.. what was I expecting? At least the cover was pretty, I’ll give them a few points for that. Let me take you to a tour around this ~planner~ after the jump!

New goals for the new year

January 4, 2012

Hello to a healthy, tidy and happy New Year!

Usually at the start of the year, I like to begin afresh with a new attitude and a new set of ambitions. This year is not any different and I am looking forward to the new opportunities and fun times that it will bring. I want to eat healthily, keep my room tidy and see my friends a lot. Of course, the last one is the most important and will take priority over the others. However, I have been thinking about how I would keep to the first two, and have come up with a few ideas.

I could eat healthy by trying to stick to low-fat options of my favourite dishes. I like Adobo and although it may not seem like it is, this is a pretty easy dish to make. Instead of making it with chicken thighs and drumsticks that have fatty skin on them, I could use boneless, skinless breasts. This would reduce the fat of the dish, and make me feel better about myself when I have finished dinner and am watching a movie or playing Cheeky Bingo. I can follow this principle with all the food that I like to eat, and as long as I eat lots of veggies and less fat, then I should be on course to a healthy and happy new year.

With regards to my idea of being tidy, there are a few easy things that I could do in my room to make sure I stick to it. I think that the main reason why people are messy is that they simply do not have enough space to store all of their things. So I could get another chest of drawers, or even just some plastic boxes that can fit under my bed and can store things that clutter up the place. Then my life will be tidy and healthy, and all I will need to do is enjoy it.

The much awaited year ender post

December 31, 2011

Before the lines get busy tomorrow since it’ll be New Year’s Eve by then, I’m gonna do this year-ender post a day early! Lol as if the lines around the internet does get busy! Well, it only does when you get disconnected from not paying the monthly DSL bill. =))

Oh diba umeffort ako sa banner? Haha

Last year I wrote my year ender post in this kind of list format that I made on the spot. I read the post last night and thought to myself why not do the same thing for this year since the questions were good and so were my answers. ) Also, I’m curious if there are any changes from last year to this year. So, the only way to find out is to do this quiz/meme/survey thing for myself again. Read more…

Christmas 2011

December 25, 2011

What I’m about to say right now might be shocking to you…

I spent my Christmas eve (last night) at our local church.

..and I loved it! Though there were awkward moments because it was my first time there and I can’t help but notice the people (residents of our village) seem to look at me because I’m a familiar face, it was an okay experience.

Yeah, this is not a norm for me, I’ll tell you that. But since I’m on a new “lifestyle” might as well give this one a shot, even just for once. Ever since that thing happened (just a couple of days ago), my life did a complete 360. I’m not used to change, neither do I like it, but what can I do, right?

Back to the story!

First impressions:

OMG LOOK AT OUR CHURCH IT’S SO BIG AND YELLOWY AND SPACEY AND NEWLY BUILT
AWW THERE’S A SANTA CLAUS GIVING AWAY BISCUITS AND TREATS TO THE KIDS
LOOK AT HOW EPIC THE INSIDE LOOKS. THEIR SAINTS SEEM COMPLETE. OMO.
Why are they looking at me? I just want to sit down and look back at what happened these past couple of days.

Yeah, I had to type the first three in caps to show that I really was amused at our church lol.

I was also in awe during our stay there because in the years of living in this village (or subdivision? I don’t really know the difference between the two, sorry lol), I never imagined that our church would be this big. I mean, who knew they could build, let alone fit a big legit church right here in our little town! I was honestly expecting a small church that can only accomodate around 100 people.

I don’t want to give in specifics like where this is located (because you’ll figure out where I live, obviously haha), or the name of the church (sadly, I don’t know the name), or anything that would give you clues where this is in the first place!

I took some photos of the place while we were inside, and a couple of shots while we were outside just to show you what I am talking about. Though I might be really exaggerating and you’ll find that it is small. For me it’s not, it’s big. )

OED x Boystown Treat Part II

December 16, 2011

OED team with some of the Boystown kids

Before the year ends, OED (Only Enchong Dee, Enchong’s fan group) created another project for its members and that is to hold an outreach for the kids of Boystown (girls quarter). The first time, they held a same event but for the boys instead.. unfortunately I wasn’t a part of that event, and Enchong was there! )

BTW, this event was held on December 15, 2011 at Boystown Marikina. Yep, I commuted all the way from down south to there! See my efforts, Enchong?! You make me do good things and at the same time ~~I may have dirty thoughts about you~~. =)) JK.

No matter, our main goal in this particular project is not Enchong Dee himself, but to a) make these kids happy, b) give back to the less fortune and/or privileged, c) go out of our way to share quality time with them since it’s the Christmas season. Yep, you heard that right, he wasn’t there. We felt like we made a handful of girls disappointed because he wasn’t there to party with us. Darn those spontaneous TV shoots/TV commitments! I was expecting him to show up because I wanted to see Enchong in this kind of situation. His mom went instead, though.

Oh, you might be asking, of all children youth groups, why Boystown? It all started from Enchong’s show way back years ago called “Boystown”, where he played the role of a Boystown kid. Apparently, from that role that was given to him, somehow he was exposed to their way of life, and that inspired him. Simple living, simple joys, as they say. Since then, as much as possible he tries to give back to them in the form of donation or outreach programs or parties (like the one we did). Das a good boy right there. )

During the planning stage of this event I was dreading, tbh, because I was afraid I won’t get to socialize properly, especially with the children.. having a rep to be a bully towards kids. HAHAHA I KID. I’m quite the antisocial and the last time I did something similar to this was during our NSTP course back in college. It was a nice experience, too, but not my cup of tea.

I’ll tell you a secret: I did help out during our NSTP but I was in charge of distributing food/treats to them. Dakilang server, kumbaga. ) I wasn’t around to socialize with them, they were bratty children.

I did get to redeem myself and do some socializing with the children. But I was more of the photographer for the event so I didn’t have “my own” kid during the whole event. I felt happy when this certain girl kept approaching me though. Aw, it feels nice when a child you barely know personally approaches you like she especially chose you!

I look really tiny here and like I was photoshopped hahaha
