Her MALDITA-ness

(A re-post from my Multiply account)

I was browsing my Inbox and deleting messages that I no longer need when I saw this email. It says that the way I sleep could actually define my personality. It is so interesting so I decided to keep it. And now, here I am, sharing this email to you…

I attached the illustrations so you can actually tell what sleeping position is yours. Enjoy.

1. Unknown
Covering from head to toe:
You may appear a real macho in public, but deep down inside you are shy and weak. You tend to keep loads of secrets. If you encounter any problem, you will rather keep it to yourself and agonize over it than ask for help. No wonder you grimace in your sleep!

2. Back Sleeper
With legs crossed:
Anyone who sleeps cross-legged is said to be self-obssessed and finds difficulty in
accepting changes. Solitude is your priority. Yet, your redeeming quality is your threshold for tolerance!

Back Sleeper w/ arms crossed

3. Back Sleeper

With arms crossed to support the head:
You are highly intelligent and enthusiastic to learn. Yet sometimes you are filled
with cranky ideas which people find hard to follow. You take good care of your family, but the problem is you hardly love anybody. A little bit choosy, huh?

Tummy Sleeper sleeping on the stomach

4. Tummy Sleeper
Sleeping on the stomach:
If you sleep facedown all night, you are likely to be narrow-minded. You are probably self-centered and always force people to comply with your own needs. You are also likely to be reckless and desultory. Time to change your sleeping posture?

Side Sleeper lying on one side

5. Side Sleeper
Lying on one side:
This posture indicates that you are a confident person. You will see success in whatever you undertake, owning to your unrelentless endeavour. People who sleep on their right sidewith their right arm stretching over their head and lying on the right side are said to be blessed with power and fortune.

Side Sleeper curling up

6. Side Sleeper
Curling up:
Selfish, jealous and vindictive are words that describe you. People around you got to be
careful not to step on your toes as you are easily irritated!

Side Sleeper lying on one arm

7. Side Sleeper
Lying on one arm:
Contrary to the previous one (curling up), you are gentle, polite, sincere, and loving. Well, nothing is perfect. Build up your self-confidence and learn to accept mistakes or imperfection. Happiness will then come you way!

Side Sleeper w/ one knee bended

8. Side Sleeper
With one knee bended:
You are inclined to be fussy, always whining and complaining. Nervousness is probably your second name. You tense up easily and get overly excited over small matters. Life isn’t such a big deal. Learn to relax.

Cuddled Up

9. Unknown
Cuddled up:

You feel lonely and depressed because you are obssessed with past failures and setbacks. You are hesitant and indecisive, giving others an impression that love has been missing in your life.

Back Sleeper w/ arms and legs spread out

10. Back Sleeper
With arms and legs spread out:
What a liberty-loving soul! Well, this posture reveals your true identity. Comfort-lover and beauty-
worshipper, you are also a real spendthrift (but luckily you earn just as much). Your other undesirable
trait is that you are a bit nosy and seem to enjoy gossiping. Well, who did you mention in your tales lately?

Well, now you’ve seen and read them all. So, how were you defined by your sleeping position? 

Well, I’ve been quite addicted to this site for quite some time now. One of the few reasons why I wasn’t able to update this blog actually. Hehehe…

Meez.com is a social networking site that allows you to play cool games online. Yup, I’ve been playing again while working.  Ssssh… don’t tell my boss ok? Anyway, aside from from the games that it offers, you’ll also be able to create your own animated 3D avatar just like the one I have here…

Pretty nice right? You can use this avatar in your blogs and forum posts too.

Well, I gotta go again. I think I wanna play more. See you at Meez.

Well, today is just one of the many Tuesdays when I feel so lazy to work. No kidding, but I’m not really in the mood. So, when an officemate sent me a certain link, I didn’t hesitate to open it. And found more. Hehehe…

If you happen to dislike your boss so much, I got a very good site for you. Unleash your anger to your boss without actually hurting him. Or as the web site puts it, “achieve peace with cartoon violence”.

Yup, this is “the perfect place for you to manage your anger without hurting a soul.” Find the 17 objects you could use to kill your boss. You read that right. You could kill him BUT only in that site ok? So, go on and try it.

Just be careful that your boss doesn’t see it, ok?

It’s pay day and I’m quite in the mood to spend some spare money again for shopping… Hmmm… Since I don’t just wanna go to the mall without knowing what to buy yet, I decided to browse the web first for the latest fashion trends.

Presto! I came across this site by accident. Brand Neusense. It’s a site that offers the most sylish and unique clothing for men and women. They got the most popular urban clothes brands that you could find. And most of the items are really affordable.

I checked out the designer brands and found some cool stuff. They don’t only sell clothes but also some accessories. Just like the belts and bags. They got a wide variety of them to choose from. From simple designs to flashy and sophisticated ones. Name it and they have it.

Well, what really caught my eyes are the women’s wallets. They are just sooo attractive. I realized lately that my wallet needs to rest already. Perhaps, I gotta choose from the options in the site. After all, they’re really affordable and good-looking.

So I guess, I’ll just have to order online instead of going to the mall. But, wait a minute. I think I must check the currency… Hehehe… I almost forgot that I’m here in the Philippines. Oh well… Perhaps my credit card would be fine.

“I’ll love you forever,
I’ll like you for always,
as long as I’m living
my baby you’ll be.”

Are they familiar? Well, these lines are taken from a children’s book titled “Love You Forever” which was published way back in 1986.

This book is very popular but do you know that the story is rooted from a very sad episode of the writer’s life?

Robert Munsch, the author of the book first created a song with the lines above as lyrics. The song was made for his two babies who were born dead. The lines lingered in his head but he can’t sing it until he came in this certain university to tell stories. An idea flashed across his mind. Perhaps, he could develop a story with the song.

And so “Love You Forever” was born. It is a story of the evolving relationship between a boy and his mother. The book started when the mother gave birth to the boy. She carried him in her arms, rocked him back and forth while singing…

“I’ll love you forever,
I’ll like you for always,
as long as I’m living
my baby you’ll be.”

Munsch’s regular publisher thought that the book is not actually for children thus the author ended up doing the book with another publisher. Then one day, this publisher called him and reported that the book is selling very well in retirement communities in Arizona. At that time, kids are illegal in those retirement communities which means that old people are buying the books for old people! In fact it became a big hit worldwide that it was listed fourth in the 2001 Publishers Weekly All-Time Bestselling Children’s Books list for paperbacks.

Actually, it’s not a big wonder why the book has become so famous across the globe. Although the story is so simple, it was able to capture the hearts of its readers children and adults alike.

This is one book that every child will really treasure till he has become old.

I should have posted this earlier but I was kinda busy on some random things these past few days.

Yes, French Spring 2008 is here. It started last April and will be ending this June. Some of the activities are finished already so I’ll just give you the list of events where you could still attend.

The French Film Festival. Take a peek at France’s rich culture through their movies. Get to know them better through the different stories and characters you’ll meet. The opening night of this film festival will be on June 11, Wednesday, 7:30 pm at Shang Cineplex, Shangri-La Plaza.

Here are some of the movies…

Un baiser s’il vous plait (Shall we Kiss?)

A man and woman meet one night. He’d like to kiss her, she’d also like to kiss him, but something in her past stops her from doing so.

Changement d’adresse,

David, a shy, awkward musician who has just moved to Paris, falls madly in love with his young student, Julia. He tries everything to win her heart. His room-mate, Anne, provides encouragement, advice and consolation in an extremely passionate way.

Qui m’aime me suive

Max, 34, has been named head of thoracic surgery at a Paris hospital, but abandons his medical career to revive the rock ‘n’ roll band he gave up 15 years prior.

Je crois que je l’aime (Could This Be Love?)

Elsa is also enamored but unsure of her new suitor. While Elsa is creating a fresco for Lucas’ office foyer, he hires a private investigator to discover why this enchanting woman is still single.

Serbis (Philippine film)

(from http://www.moviejungle.com/search/details.asp?Movie_ID=5221)
The Pineda family operates a run-down movie house in a city in the province which shows dated sexy double-feature films. The family has taken up actual residence in the old building as well. The matriarch Nanay Flor, her daughter Nayda, son-in-law Lando and adopted daughter Jewel take turns manning the ticket booth and the canteen. Her nephews Alan and Ronald are the billboard painter and projectionist respectively.

Nanay Flor had filed a bigamy case against her estranged husband and is attending the court hearing today when, after a number of years, the decision will be finally handed down. It is within this context that the story unfolds. As the rest of the members go about their daily activities, we get a glimpse of how they suffer and deal with each other’s sins and vices–relational, economic or sexual.

Alan, who is financially unprepared for marital responsibility, feels oppressed by his pregnant girlfriend’s demand of marriage. Nayda, who entered marriage out of tradition, is torn between marital fidelity and her ambiguous attraction towards her cousin Ronald. Nanay Flor, who loses the case, feels betrayed not only by the court judge but also by her son who testified in favor of his father.

Preoccupied with their personal demons, the family is unmindful that inside the movie theater, another kind of business is going on between the “serbis” boys (male prostitutes) and the gay patrons.

Ma Vie en l’Air (My Life in the Air)

Yann Kerbec’s traumatic birth took place on an airliner in the skies over the Pacific Ocean. His mother died during the birth and Yann (Vincent Elbaz) has not flown since. Not once, not even with the free fly-for-life offer from the airline. Now, he is the simulator trainer for the pilots of an large airline company but still refuses to fly. That is, until he meets Alice and learns that “Love is in the air.”

For the other movies and the schedules, click here.

Also, on June 22, Sunday at 8pm, CCP Main Theater, a modern dance company will be presenting a ballet called La Bossa Fataka. La Bossa Fataka is a journey into the imaginary world of J.P Rameau, compositor at the court of King Louis XV. Extravagant and poetic, this combination of dance and video installation will leave you and your family dreaming.

So, mark your calendars now.

You may not know it but there are things that you do that might be affecting your liver already. No matter how hard you try to keep it healthy, it is still vital to know what are the common roots for liver damage.

So, let me give them to you…

1. Sleeping too late and waking up too late. If you’re doing this, then, you are disrupting the removal of unnecessary chemicals in your body. You should take note that the whole digestion process takes hours to finish and your having a rest plays an essential role too.

2. Not urinating in the morning. Having a good pee when you wake up helps in detoxifying unnecessary chemicals in your body. It gives you a feeling of relief and being clean.

3. Too much eating. Too much of everything is bad. Some foods when eaten at the same time produce bad effects to the body. It can lead to diarrhea or stomach pains. Better avoid this since it also has effects to your liver.

4. Skipping breakfast. Breakfast is very essential. It does not only generate energy for the body but it also produces nutrients for the absorption in the small intestine.

5. Consuming too much medication. Medicines are not always helpful. too much of them is also bad for the digestive system.

6. Consuming too much preservatives, additives, food coloring, and artificial sweetener. Excessive intake of these stuff may lead to colon cancer.

7. Consuming unhealthy cooking oil. As much as possible reduce cooking oil use when frying, which includes even the best cooking oils like olive oil. Do not consume fried foods when you are tired, except if the body is very fit.

8. Consuming raw (overly done) foods also add to the burden of liver. Veggies should be eaten raw or cooked 3-5 parts. Fried veggies should be finished in one sitting, do not store.

Now that you know the bad habits, perhaps you can avoid them already.

Teardrops on my Guitar

(Taylor Swift)

Drew looks at me,
I fake a smile so he won’t see
That I want and I’m needing
everything that we should be
I’ll bet she’s beautiful,
that girl he talks about
And she’s got everything
that I have to live without

Drew talks to me,
I laugh cause it’s just so damn funny
That I can’t even see anyone when he’s with me
He says he’s so in love,
he’s finally got it right,
I wonder if he knows
he’s all I think about at night

[Chorus:]

He’s the reason for the teardrops on my guitar
The only thing that keeps me wishing on a wishing star
He’s the song in the car I keep singing,
don’t know why I do

Drew walks by me,
can he tell that I can’t breathe?
And there he goes, so perfectly,
The kind of flawless I wish I could be
She’d better hold him tight,
give him all her love
Look in those beautiful eyes and know she’s lucky cause

[Repeat Chorus]

So I drive home alone, as I turn out the light
I’ll put his picture down and maybe
Get some sleep tonight

He’s the reason for the teardrops on my guitar
The only one who’s got enough of me to break my heart
He’s the song in the car I keep singing,
don’t know why I do
He’s the time taken up,
but there’s never enough
And he’s all that I need to fall into..

Drew looks at me,
I fake a smile so he won’t see
