Let me share to you my kryptonites.arniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17618869940604749979noreply@blogger.comBlogger15125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8884570660674218669.post-17892313676261018682010-08-23T17:38:00.000+08:002010-08-23T17:38:47.348+08:00eggplants and chocolates for pregnant women?<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">According to the myth, eating chocolates and eggplants during pregnancy will cause baby and the mother bad effects. Due to my case right now, I read through some articles over the net and I was surprised with I've learned about chocolates and eggplants during pregnancy.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In an article published in UK, it said that chocolates actually makes the baby a cheerful one. This was supported by the answers and comments of the women who gave birth with children whom are chocolate-fed while in their wombs. One said that among her 5 kids, the one whom she had lots of chocolates with during pregnancy is the most cheerful one among the 5.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The bad thing about chocolates is that they contain caffeine which was said to be bad for pregnant women. But a pop or 2 of chocolates in a day won't give you any bad effect because you might only consume, like, around 30mg of it in a day.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For eggplants, it is one of the highly-folic acid-giving vegetables. Folic acid is one those that nutrients that help form the baby's brain. In a study, it says that baby's born with their mother's who had little folic acid intake suffer from brain defects.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">All I can say now is, just give in to your indulgence :)<br />
<br />
Happy pregnancy!</span><br />

Miss you all!~just hope that somebody tried to keep track of my comeback :)</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So many things had happened during my absence. You wouldn't know my marital status right now, because it's overly conplicated - <em>tinalo pa ang relationship status ng friendster.</em></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">But about my professional status, it is just so-so. Like, I can't really tell that I am liking the career path that I am in right now. Aside from the fact that the institution I am i doesn't pay well, the load of work is indeed heavy. But, on the contrary, this is the only position I would be in because of my quote <em>complicated relationship status </em>unquote.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Okay, I won't put you on hang anymore. I am a professor now, teaching higher IT at ABE Manila. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">What I love about my work is my students. Whenever I go to ABE, which happens in almost a daily basis, my students are the ones who lightens up my heavy load of work. Sometimes, I get to think of not going to work since I am certain that I am not earning well. But, my students make my days better.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As for my employment status in ABE, I am a full-time IT instructor and, at the same time, IT head. Quiet a high tag for a newly grad like me, but flattering.</span><br />

All you need is a good Internet connection and a little spare time to click on ads, everyday. All at the comfort of your own home. * you can even do this when you're waiting for your youtube video to completely buffer or when your farmville is loading.</span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />

</span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Remember: this is absolutely free. All you've got to have is a little patience on clicking. Because that is how you will earn. Do it daily and voila! You will receive you payment check in no time.</span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Again, just comment me you email address so that I could refer you.</span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />

Just that.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span"> </span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span"> Happy Valentine ’s Day everyone!</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span"> </span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span"> A day from now, it’ll be happy couples’ day for everyone. Since this year’s valentine’s day is a Sunday, I am quite sure that there will be limited spaces in all places. Now, I wonder how many couples, or probably just buddies, celebrate the hearts’ day.</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span"> </span></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span">Just imagine this, by daytime of Feb 14, there are, like, couples celebrating since morning to be each other for the whole day. Some go to parks, e.g. Quezon Memorial Circle, EcoPark, Rainforest Waterpark (Pasig), and a lot others. Those some, is more likely around too many to count that just the couples alone, already occupy the most area in the above-mentioned spots.</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span"> </span></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span">When you go to malls, you’re still sure to see couples holding hands, going out of the cinemas, eating at restaurants, and sight-seeing. Last year, I went to the Mall of Asia with my ex (he was my boyfriend then) to, of course, celebrate the valentine’s day. The whole seaside area is occupied by hundreds of lovers looking out at the bay, eating TJ hotdogs, doing photo shoots and a lot others. And it was also really crowded inside the mall.</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span"> </span></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span">Now, when you try walking along Avenida, Recto, Quiapo, Cubao, Sta. Mesa and Makati to look for a place to stay at for the whole evening, you’ll end up saying “Why the hell are all people stuck up in places that I go”, hehe. About 90% of our local motels, hotels and apartelles don’t have vacancy during Valentine’s day. It’s pretty obvious that people do common stuffs during certain special dates. Like when it’s Christmas, Christmas parties and exchanging of gifts; while during New Year’s Eve, people makes noise. And so as with the lovers’ day, people commonly make love.</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span"> </span></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span">Restaurants. I kind of a wonder why people get to have lots of money for February 14. You see, generous men reserve special table for two for their woman. Some others don’t make reservations, they just eat in. FACT: Restos get higher profits during Valentine’s day and Christmas.</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span"> </span></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span">Some sweet wives or even girlfriends, prepare a candlelighted dinner for two at the comfort of their homes, instead of going out. This one is a lot cheaper but still thoughtful and mushy.</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span"> </span></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span">Now, of the places I’ve mentioned that has numerous folks during Valentine’s, where on earth do these people came from? It’s like they are dispersed around the country and met up at the places mentioned above during Valentine’s.</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span"> </span></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span">Nonsense. I just wonder.</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />

He has been a gift to me since he came into my life.

Well, what I have in mind right now are not all material things. There are certain things that money just can't buy.And I probably would not win the <a href="http://www.nomnomclub.com">nomnom's</a> Limited Edition Starbucks Flash Drive because my list is not posh or fab.

I was one of them during my high school days. I used to do carolings in our Area and in our Baranay with my classmates. <div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>In fairness, the feeling is nice when you know that you are to get an amount that's higher than 50 bucks. Then, the money we've earned will be used for that day's <i>evening merienda.</i></div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>But, I was never fond of giving even any petty donations to carolers. Not unless, probably, if they come in costumes and beautiful, angelic voices.</div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>The street children in my school's vicinity had been doing carolings to us students since the start of December. They come in uber dirty clothes and super-out-of-tune and out-of-lyrics songs. And take note, they demand so much that if you say that you do not have money, they'll be mad at you. <i>Mumurahin ka pa nila. *</i>so mean.</div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>And so, I think, the most captivating caroler I've met ever was the one who sang an unfamiliar song. </div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>I was in a bus going to SM north then. When he stood up, I already realize his propaganda. <i>A caroler, he is.</i> He brought out his instrument and started preaching.</div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>At first thought, you'll think that he is just, of course, after the money. But, eventually, you will have the impression that that man is not just asking for money. He's also trying to let his listeners feel the enthusiasm of the season with his song. </div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span><i>Pagod pa ko nung time na yun. </i>But, in fairness to him, his song uplifted my spirit.</div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>And so, merry christmas to him.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>-chocolatecreamship.frappe</div>arniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17618869940604749979noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8884570660674218669.post-18072969499148519542009-12-12T13:14:00.000+08:002009-12-22T20:18:59.437+08:00Sadness killsIt's sad to know that i'm alone. And that nobody cares to understand my point. I'm like underestimated and unweighted. <div>If Miss Universes were born, we'll "misinterpreted" and "misunderstood" also did. And I am them. Hehe..I myself cannot find my own happiness. I, myself, cannot interpret and understand me. All I know is that, I want to demand something. There are just no exact words to express mine.</div><div>It feels like i'm alone and forsaken. I hate myself for being a full time freelancer. <i>"I'm just a little girl lost in the moment,"</i> but I cannot just enjoy the show.</div>arniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17618869940604749979noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8884570660674218669.post-67479599151409845262009-12-11T18:51:00.000+08:002009-12-11T19:28:47.659+08:00kindling a better perspective<b><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;">I am the master of my fate;</span></i></b><div><b><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;">I am the captain of my soul.</span></i></b></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><b><i><br /></i></b></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;">People are of different perspectives.

I live a life similar to everybody else's. But, I can't be the best at anything. Because no one will like it. Or it's just probably that, they simply don't like me.

That's just me. <i>Ang galing noh?! </i>Now, I'm just wondering why they can't see me as a person. I can't be perfect. I may know a lot, but not everything.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;">And where I am right now is in the middle of a childish-<i>hindi-sila-napagbigyan</i> thing.

But what they are doing with their facebook wall posts and comments about that little issue, is taking away my dignity and they are already slashing me on my back.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;">Why don't they just talk to me?
