From a very unsatisfied customer


I saw this latest advertisement in TV where they were enjoying this so-called "MAC&CHEEZ." Though i noticed this product for awhile now, i never even bought one to try it out. But yesterday, i was really craving for it... that i even lack sleep thinking i want to try it. So the day after i went to a convenience store and bought my MAC&CHEEZ with much joy. I boiled water, cook the noodles (i used the word noodles because this is what they called it at the instruction) , drain the noodles and mixed in the cheese. BY THE WAY, WHEN I WAS SQUISHING THE COVER OF THE CHEESE TO MIX IT WITH THE "NOODLES" IT WAS REALLY UNSIGHTLY. So nevertheless, i still mixed it believing it has to actually taste good even though the cheese looks like this. SO YEAH, I TOOK A BITE. IT WAS REALLY DISGUSTING, IM NOT EVEN SURE IF DISGUSTING EVEN FITS THE DESCRIPTION. Ugh, i am really dissapointed.

The reason i wrote this is to tell my friends to NOT dare buy this "MAC&CHEEZ" and i intently put the picture here for the world to know that im really dissatisfied.



(I didnt take pictures of the mac&cheeze because i gave it to the dog immediately)

What would have happened?

It was Christmas Eve. People were cheerful. People were drinking. People were opening gifts.
I, on the other hand, sat on this small corner with a few relatives.
"You're blooming!" my cousin added.
I smiled awkwardly, you know where this conversation was going.
"Are you in love" my Aunt asked.

In love?

I wouldn't clearly say i am. More likely... "i was"

--------------------
A month ago, i was in love. I was in love with a guy who wasn't even my type. Not that i hate him, i just didn't come to like him more than what he is. It was all so sudden, our relationship grew from acquaintances to close friends. It felt like i was falling... falling in love.

"BUT NOT TO A GUY LIKE HIM!" I shouted reluctantly as i told my best friend.
"Why him??"

Oh, and did i mention? I'm a girl who doesn't stand out. I'm ussually the ones you find researching in the library or sleeping in class. I dont have looks either. But him? He looks "beautiful."

"-i don't think you should use the term beautiful, it sounds wierd" my best friend laughed.
I looked at her, blushing. He wasn't "beautiful" months ago, i guess when your in love with someone... that person suddenly becomes the most wonderful person you met in your entire life.
"STILL, why him?"

"Does love have to make sense?"
My bestfriend drew a conclusion to that conversation that day.


---------------------

Neverthless, i have sworn to myself that i will never confess to this guy. How many times have i been tempted to anyway. There were times when we were alone, many times i've seen many chances but i chose to shut my mouth and forced my heart shut.

Months have passed, it seems time has passed me by.

Now that we have separated ways...

I wonder....What would have happened if i have told him? Would things be different?

Cosplay?!

these are my opinions, i do not mean to offend anyone. Just stating my thoughts.


Setting the recent themes i just posted a few months back aside, i am stuck here staring at my facebook wall with people preparing for an upcoming cosplay event.

What comes to mind:
1. My facebook wall is flooded with anime pictures and i-want-to-cosplay-him/her pictures. And sadly this have become a headache for me.

2. All the people in my facebook account are talking about "cosplay, cosplay, cosplay" that i fear that they have totally drawn their lives to cosplay that they forgot to live outside the fantasy world.

3. About 75% (most of the time) when i log in to my facebook account is always about "xxxx have commented on a photo of you"

4. Sadly, some people tend to make photo comments into some convenient, nonconstructive chat. We have facebook chat for that.



Of course, i could be wrong. But if you disagree, make your own blog.


Also... i think cosplay is about making your own clothes. Doesnt it all defeat the purpose? If we were supposedly let some tailor do the work for us, there is no sense of accomplishment. Well, thats my opinion.

AND LASTLY, ever came across the "we cosplay to express, not to IMPRESS"? fan page in facebook?
Dont you think the cosplayers they put in their album pictures wanted to impress (more than they want to express)? Just a thought.

p.s.
Im not really a great cosplayer either :))

Battle between the presidentiables




The politics this year is exciting. Wonder who's going to win? Villar and Aquino is leading the polls, but many claims polls to be bogus. I have many friends and acquaintances that supports Gibo or Gordon here in social sites such as facebook. I also noticed something. I don’t see any Villar supporters here in Cagayan de Oro City. No house putting banners for his support or any of my CDeO friends posting pictures for Villar's support. Aquino on the other hand have yellow ribbons tied everywhere. I even fear wearing yellow sometimes, people might think I’m some Aquino fanatic with the yellow theme going on around Divisoria. My dad supports Erap. At first I thought my dad have to re-evaluate his candidate. So I went on a little research about Erap and what he has done in his term as president and his previous positions. Erap is popular to have took the heart of the masses. He helped a lot of poor people when he was still a mayor. I don’t know much about him being a president though, people were always telling me he was a drunkard even during his working hours (How is that possible anyway?). I respect my dad's decision, we're entitled to vote for our own candidate anyway. I like Gibo. I've read much about him. He has done many things and his very smart too. For me, an ideal president. I don’t know why being a candidate of our present president makes him incompetent, I think the corruption here in the Philippines really made everyone paranoid. Gordon! Also a good choice for me. He has done a lot. He also have the adequate experience, also an ideal president for me. As for Villar... I just found out he had filed much bills and passed laws much more than any of the other presidential candidates. But his abuse of TV ads makes him sickening. I don’t even want to know more about him. I even just found out about that bills and laws by accident. What about Aquino? I've seen his records. Its too clean. No wonder he wasn’t the first bearer of his party. If his mother didn’t die, do you think he would run as president?

-=-People are on the clouds, they have the misconception that one president and a single 6-year term is enough to fix corruption... no... fix Philippines. Its time to wake up people! It isn’t happening. But we need good leadership. So slowly we can stand up and be a great nation again. Slowly but surely, neh? -=-

No offense to Villar supporters, his the only thing I don’t bother knowing about cause his using too much money during campaign period and makes him less credible. And all the other candidates I didn’t mention (I was surprised to see other candidates running for presidency when I saw a TV program of the them debating, I don’t even remember their names.) I did research about them. I think the other one is too young. I think the other one is arrogant ... and Jamby wasn’t it? Is she serious in running? About Ed? For me, he lacks experience (and also Aquino). Being a president isn’t OJT (on-the-job-training), we need someone who knows how to play the game (and hopefully not how to skillfully run the game of corruption.. gulp).


Others are just relieved that Pres. Gloria's term is ending. I think people are just focusing on her bad things that they fail to see what she has done for the country. I’m not a fan of hers either, but I keep an open mind.


Author's notes: This bog is not advertising any candidate, these are just my opinions and I mean no harm to their avid fans :P And I think Villar is scheming something. VOTE WISELY!
