Fairy Tail Celestial Spirit: Virgo

Good day everyone. 

I've been an avid fan of the anime, Fairy Tail. I have been following its anime since the time it was first aired and kept track on its manga since the first chapter. I was shackled by the storyline itself (and I still am) that it made me decide to cosplay some of their characters.

Now, I present to you my very own version of Virgo from the anime Fairy Tail. I went out as Celestial Spirit Virgo last March 20, 2016 during the Cyberzone Cosplay Craze held at the SM Seaside City, Cebu City, Philippines.

Thank you for viewing,

Imma Food Lovah!

Yow Furry Meow!

I got something for you tonight and I know you also love to munch all the time. Voolah! The internet, as we all know, provides a lot of information about everything. What struck me tonight is all about food hacks. Yeap, you heard (or for this sake, read) it right, food hacks. It's quite charming to see people make most of their food and indeed, I was caught also into it. Maybe, one of these days, I'm gonna try it for myself.

I definitely love food, and I am very much sagacious in religiously eating a lot of food everyday. In fact, I'm having six (oh yeah, surprising isn't it?) full meals a day (err, sometimes not six but not less than three! >.<). Even looking at pictures of food stimulates both of my salivary glands that it makes me drool over replicas of food. Do you think it's healthy? Or is this a sign of a new life or... new size? But... BUT, I'm not gaining even a single pound! I'm still the bony slim type of person that even my classmates get scared of me sometimes because I threaten to stab them with my elbow! Not happy, not healthy! Oh no!!!!

But hey, I still love food, and that's why I'm gonna share this website about food hacks. I was just looking at them for a few moments and I didn't realize I am already swimming in my own drool. Just click the link below.

FOOD HACKS

Nifty Night,

Hum for Happiness

We can never deny that music is one of the most beautiful and greatest thing we people have here on Earth. Even I myself is very grateful that music is a part of my life, and we all should be. It is through music that I can fully express what I have in mind and I really am feeling. It is through music that I wish, I love, I plea and I pray. Without the beauty of music, the world will suffer in deafening silence. Weird as it can be but I treat noise as music. It actually depends on how people perceive the sounds in their surroundings. 

I could (proudly) say that God blessed me the talent in listening to different kinds of sounds and noises that I could make music through what I hear. I hum, I write it down and I sing it. Singing is what I really am into and I am really happy that singing loves me in exact the same way as I love it. My family, classmates, friends and teachers are some of the living testaments that I sing regardless of the mood, the weather of the day, the time, the place and of the activity. In shorter terms, I ALWAYS sing. 

I sing because I treasure it since God entrusted me such a nice talent. And I am really responsible to hone it and share it with others by letting them listen to the music I create. I may lack the skills in playing instruments however it does not deprive me of creating music. God gave me these elastic cartilages in my voice box to create music, write notes and rests and blend it with other sounds.

Arranging songs has never been easy (for me). It gives me headache and sore throats (haha!). Ako kasi talaga yung nag-aarrange ng mga notes. It's also time consuming since you really have to check if the notes go with the other notes nicely and smoothly. Buti na lang, pinag-aral ako ni mama sa mga voice lessons kaya may alam na rin akong mga techniques. But, it's still hard for me and it would really take a long time para ma-master ko ang pag-arrange ng songs.

I also learn some techniques in arranging songs by listening to choral performances especially those that are performed by the Philippine Madrigal Singers, The Company and other prominent Filipino choirs. Most of my arrangements are based from the Madz and The Company. 

FROM A DISTANCE - I love this song very much that I made my own version for this. Here is a link below of the Madz during their concert in Pasadena, California

Philippine Madrigal Singers - From A Distance

I hope to be a good maestro someday, meet prominent arrangers and choirmasters and I really wish I could be one of them... maybe someday (haha!). But who knows, someone as grandiose as them might be listening whenever I hum for happiness, right?

Circle of Friends

Indeed, life would be so much boring without forging companionship with other people. These people, whom we address as friends, surely have a lot of things hidden up to their sleeves to make us happy. They encourage us when we're down or they make things more lively to alleviate our moods. Needless to say, friends are precious, more even of any other gem. What makes them more important and more precious is their mere presence and the experiences we do together with them. Life is full of ups and downs and twists and turns and it will surely be hard as hell if you are to do all the things in it all by your self. My circle of friends, well, they are all crazy! And with all the craziness we share, it is only very rightful for me to acknowledge these people who has always been there for me both in the good and bad times.

10. MHENJIE CALE

Starting of with the undoubtedly the craziest friend I have, Mhenjie. She is political science student. One thing I like about Mhenjie is that she never forgets to smile whenever we meet each other at the corridor. She has a lot friends and I'm happy to be one of those. Mhenjie is one of people who is able to change the mood of the people around her in a single word. Let her talk to you and you will surely blast a big laugh after hearing her jokes. We have a lot of similarities and one of them is both of us possessing the beauty mother earth has bestown upon us (haha!). Whenever we have free time together, we always fish in the grand lake of MHAM lobby and we always have a good catch (if you know what I mean!). She is undoubtedly, one of my precious friends.

9. RUFFINNI ABALDE

Ruffinni, or just Finni. She is crazy and she knows that for sure. What I like about Finni is that she admires my works and accomplishments despite it being very dreadfully pangit (haha). She is the most sincere person I've ever known and she never forgets to compliment every single success her friends achieve. She laughs hard... and LOUD making it a contagious viral disease as it spreads all over the clump of friends. She also has a clumsy nature making her more funny in every action she makes. She sometimes utters words that are not meant to be a joke but she has the ability to make it sound funny. I could say it is a God-given talent for it can really alleviate heavy moods into light ones. Keep up the sincerity Finni!

8. PREDEN HART BIASONG

The model in the making and the growing seaweed (hahaha!), Preden Hart Biasong. We are taking up the same course. She is the epitome of being svelte. Hart possesses a golden heart. She listens to the sentiments of the people around her. She also gives advises to the people who need them, especially me who is a crazy person thinking about non-sense things. She is like a scale, without taking note of the similarities of their appearance (peace hart!), she can balance her time very wisely for studies and hang-outs. She does good in school too and I can see her Naningness in every corner of the biology department. Moreover, she also has time for unwinding and relaxing, recharging her brain before dueling against the mountains of books and photocopies again. What I know for sure about Hart is, she is a SEAWEED! :-p

7. LORD ORLEN ALLEGO

This is Lord Orlen Allego. Everyone calls her Al. The intelligence he possess is something everyone is dreaming of. If I am not mistaken, he's a constant dean's lister in our College. At first look, he's quite intimidating for me but I came to realize that he's funny the moment I knew more about him. He laughs hard, both at corny and non-corny jokes and makes jokes out of it (haha!). When Al is around, I am really inspired to study very hard because of his constant oozing intelligence aura that affects my lazy soul (lol). I envy Al for his skills in Tekken. Using his favorite character Emilie Rocherfort, more known as Lili, he only spends ten pesos at a nearby World of Fun defeating all other players. He's amazing, and I am really awe-stricken by his awesomeness. Well, that's Al for you!

6. SHIRLYN INOT

The picture above shows my beautiful friend, Shirlyn Inot, or just Ching. She is calm, honest, thoughtful and sincere. She has a lot of ideas inside her cerebral hemispheres and she possess the bravery to spill it out whenever it is necessary. She's pranka and I really admire her for being one. Her prankaness just goes out automatically when needed be in order to fight for her stand. She is also crazy and really laughs at even the corniest jokes we've ever heard. She is also a very caring person. Whenever we meet at parkmall waiting for jeepneys bound for Lapu-lapu city, she never forgets to send me a message to take care of myself and she constantly checks if I already have arrived. I treat her as an "ate" and having her as one is something I will forever treasure.

5. HAZEL AJENO

This is Hazel Ajeno. We use to call her Haze or Manang. I know her address, I think we all do. Was it KALASANGAN? Am I right or am I right? (Kidding!). Hazel is one of the mooooooost talkative person I've ever met exceeding an average girl spoken words of 5,000 because I think she speaks 10,000 per day. Not only that, she speaks with incredible speed and pitch that we always demand her to repeat what she was saying. However, despite her talkative and happy nature, and surprisingly (haha! :p), she is the vice-president of Jeanne Villahermosa in their society. What's good about her is that she always reminds us (but not verbally) no matter what the circumstances are, if it is a duty, then it is a duty and it must be carried out.  She even comes to school every Saturday just to fulfill the role of her office. Andun sa kanya yung pagiging responsable sa lahat ng bagay and she takes responsibility to herself for every action she has done. She is my friend and having her as one is one of the things I will forever cherish.

4. AMILOU ENCISO

The picture above shows my chubby and BEAUTIFUL friend (haha!), Amilou Enciso. I call her Ams or Amy. Amilou is the lax type, preferring to slack off more often than burning her calories (no wonder! Peace Ams). Amilou, is a laugher too, but not comparable to Jackie's level. Her very calm nature relaxes our busy souls amidst assignments and other school stuff. She is also of the silent type and rarely talks about people we encounter during our walks. She just laugh softly, like a demure French woman while me and Jackie are already laughing out our tonsils every time we see something very funny. She always complains about her size and luckily, she has the initiative to do exercise to burn the calories (slightly!), yet after a tiring day of workout, she couldn't stop her hands from sending food inside her mouth. I remember a very inspiring quote from her: "Baboy na kung baboy, tambok na kung tambok, basta BUSOG!" And another one: "Naaah bayut! Kalami ikaon labi na kung daghang rice!".

3. JEANNE VILLAHERMOSA

So Number 3 is Jeanne Villahermosa, we use call her JEYAN. I look up to her as my Friend/Mom in school because of her very motherly nature. She's really caring and loving (Andun sa kanya yung innate nature ng pagiging maalalahanin). I treat her not just a mere kabarkada, but as my best friend. Jeanne is not really into make up and dress up when she comes to school that's why I scold her every time I see her look like a YAYA. I always tell her to put some lipstick on but she always forgets about it. Maybe because she is the president of Social Work Society. School and RELATIONSHIP stuff (yes, capslock, bakit?) stress her out but she never forgets to hang out with us. I Love You Jee (eeiw!)

2. JACKIELYN DIN

This is Jackielyn Din. You can call her Jackie, Jake, HACKIE or whatever you like. Because of her boyish walking and loose-fitting apparels, she is always mistaken to be as a "tomboy" and everyone who doesn't know Jackie treats her as one. She always has this ability to laugh and laugh amidst the worst case scenarios. Jackie never runs out of the "hahaha". Whenever we're together (with Amilou), we just can't stop laughing and that is because of her happy outlook in life (char!). However, Jackie also has a serious side especially when it comes to academics. Jackie really does good in school, perfecting quizzes and exams. Having her as a friend especially during the sad times is PRICELESS. She can really turn gloomy mood into a gay one making everyone laugh of her clumsy nature. One thing's for sure about Jackie - SHE IS CRAZY! Mwuah!

1. CHESTER MARTINI VILLARIN

This is my number one friend, Chester. He's the most seductive friend I have (haha). Despite being seductive, Chester is a really good and a very concerned person. He always checks on me, asking me what am I doing, or  if I already ate. He is my best - EST friend. Actually, we are childhood friends and we both went here in Cebu for schooling. So you could say we're brothers. I call him "kuya" and he calls me "bunso". Moreover, Chester treats me food (yay! I love food!) whenever his busy schedule allows it. He buys me that blueberry cheesecake from Coffee Bean and in return, I buy him coffee of his choice. But his presence alone is like a like a star in a dark night, always making me feel safe and secured. Thanks Chester! :-)

THEY ARE MY PRECIOUS FRIENDS. In this book called life, it is important to build relationships. Although all of the people listed above are freaking crazy, I love them and I care a lot for them (eeeiw!). May it be a tiny little thing or huge, enormous stuff, I appreciate any and every little thing they've added into my life. Together with their existence, those are the things that has proven these people to be called as the arc of my circle of friends.

So yeah, they are my friends and I'm proud to have them. How about you?

Just Some Facts

Good Day Cats and Kittens,

I saw this post as I hovered over the internet this morning and I decided to post it here. So, enjoy some of the most random facts of the Earth (lol). I got this from 9GAG - Some Facts

To The Pinnacle of Glorifying Success

School life has never been easy. Assignments, projects, examinations, even having your own ball pen, yellow paper and other school stuff were just SOME of the problems we encounter year by year as we go along the path of education. Semester after semester, the subjects seem to get harder and schedules are getting more hectic, more busy that we even forget to unwind ourselves a little sometimes. Nevertheless, after a long night study, after answering those hell-hard, five-page major exams and after burning midnight candles, satisfaction is always guaranteed. Moreover, the things we do in school is not only for ourselves, but for our loved ones as well. Needless to say, the more we strive, the more of chances we get what we want - may it be a passing grade or a flat one. 

In connection with this, some of my friends were bragging about my study habits. We all have our own habits, our own techniques in order for us to absorb all the knowledge found in our very textbooks and photocopies. Me? It might be little be different from yours, or maybe similar, but it doesn't matter. As long as you are comfortable studying, then learning is never to far to be achieved.

So, here are some of those things that I do so that I could understand easier and faster what Mr. Textbook is trying to teach me. With this, I could also retain as much as possible the things I have been studying all night long. 

1. READ, READ and READ. Common isn't it? But this is the very basic thing you must do for you to understand what is the topic all about. Read thoroughly and comprehend, otherwise, reading is just useless.
2. WRITE IMPORTANT NOTES. Other people equip themselves with highlighters and underliners (lol). But for me, it is more effective to write it down in paper rather than coloring those words with neon green or orange. Writing it down will make you memorize the important words faster and retain it much longer. But either way is effective though.
3. SAY IT LOUD. But be careful not to wake those who are already sleeping. Some people, like me, memorize things faster when I say it loud. I often found myself talking to myself when I am studying. And I really discuss the topics with myself (weird, eh?).
4. MUNCH, EAT, SIP. Yes, when I study, I love putting something in my mouth, specifically peanuts. What's special about peanuts is that, they contain a lot of Taurine which is proven to increase the brain's capacity to learn and memorize and mental alertness. What's down for this is it also increases pimple risks. I also love having a cup of coffee during study time.
5. TEST YOURSELF. It is also important to drill yourself to test if you really understood what you were studying. If your score is low, then review again and again until you get a satisfactory score, much better if perfect score, right?

Studying can be enjoyable if you devote yourself into it. Knowledge is honed by two factors: Experience and Following. Experience is your firsthand teacher. There are just some things which are impossible to experience, especially when the wallet is only filled with butterflies. That's when following enters the scene. Following means reading books, media, listening to advises and etc. The two act in an antagonistic way. They are both there to fill in for the thing the other one cannot do.

And that's how I study. How about you?
