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)
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?
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.
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!
Though what people may say, i AM shy at people im unfamiliar with... especially with ADULTS or ANY OLDER RELATIVE (except for my parents and close relatives >.<). Also, i cant handle the crowd that well also. It got me thinking when i went to a friend's house because we had to do something and pretend to be busy bodies. So yeah, i arrived around 9:40 AM at my friend's house. Knocked at their door and thus the door opens. It was my friend's mum who opened the door (the first thing i thought was that my friend is STILL asleep. and the other one was "oh no"). She let me in and offered a seat. Then and there, i sat.... with awkwardness.
My friend's mum went up to my friend's room and knocked at my friend's room. HE IS FAST ASLEEP. I was sitting patiently and awkwardly. She came back to the living room to where i was sitting. She offered coffee and cookies while i was waiting. She was doing laundry and i was just sitting awkwardly trying to fix myself some hot coffee. Got my cookies... this particular cookie though were the ones produced by "PRESTO"... namely MILK COOKIES. I am not fond of milk, but i felt so awkward to actually NOT eat it. So yeah i opened the pack and got one cookie after another while sipping coffee in between. The one thing i noticed with the cookies were they had this little faces with emotions, ANOTHER thing was all the faces imprinted on the cookies that i have ate are ANGRY FACES (and i ate the cookies though i dont like milk cookies >.<). It felt so uneasy. So my friend's mum went upstairs again to try waking up my friend. HE IS STILL FAST ASLEEP. So I was still there sitting patiently and awkwardly when my friend's mum went down. She talked a bit, no she talked a lot. Lot of things where my replies were just
"haha" "ahh... mao buh? (ahhh... really?)" "Hala..."
Dont get me wrong, i actually like my friend's mum. She reminds me of my own mother a lot. And she's so hospitable. But i just feel so awkward. My friend finally woke up... went down and talked about what we were suppose to do that day. Then my friend ate a bit and went to take a shower. SO ONCE AGAIN, I was stuck there alone with my friend's mum. awkward. awkward. awkward. She saw i sitting alone again and offered KOKO CRUNCH. She took out a bowl, pour some in. Grabbed a glass and put lukewarm water and explained that their water wasnt cold because she didnt get to plug water dispenser that day. I stared at the water for awhile, and looked around the table and saw MILK. I dont usually eat KOKO CRUNCH without milk, but i felt so awkward to actually make myself some milk, or was my friend's mother actually offering me milk or something. So ended up eating KOKO CRUNCH without MILK -__- and she was passing by sometimes and makes me wonder if she thinks im weird cause im eating KOKO CRUNCH without MILK or maybe she may think "wala ni sa akung bukid" (a cebuano slang meaning not from my place pertaining ignorance).
So there were other times i experienced awkward moments from other people's parents/relatives. -__- but the experience i had this morning reminded me how awkward i feel when im around them especially if they start to have a conversation with me.
AWKWARD!
-Amfaru este.. Reika P.S. I tried my best hiding my friend's NAME, and SEX haha.
I was going out with my highschool friends, we had this little get together. We haven't formally sat down as friends properly for 3 years, for there were requirement at school, things to do, and the distances for others were out of town.
BUT, that isnt the point here.
My point is something that caught my attention as we were on our little get together, and we got to catch up on each other's lives. We got to the topic about facebook. We talked about the applications, videos, pictures and every little thing that facebook made it possible for us to update each other in one social network. But when my friends talked about this particular video in facebook that she saw, it really took my attention.
It was a video about Barrack Obama proving to be the antichrist.
No, im not saying that he is. No one knows who the antichrist is, and when he is coming (but we will soon). But she told us about this and it really took my attention. I didn't see the video of course, so when i got home that night, i searched it on facebook. I shrugged maybe it got burried with all the updates so i decided to search it on youtube (www.youtube.com)
I searched for : Did God reveal the name of the antichrist?
Then there were video results, i opened one. As much to my surprise, it was painstakingly disturbing and it took my attention with a matching "jaw drop"
Here is the video if you guys want to see (saves you time, rather than searching for the key words i wrote above :P):
I felt as if my blood surged. I stared at my laptop's screen for awhile after i saw the video. I assumed this was just a coincidence, a GREAT coincidence. So what i did, i scroll down and looked at the recommended videos beside it. I opened this "Is OBAMA the ANTICHRIST? 12 out of 19 characteristics are met! A MUST SEE!"
As much to my surprise, this time it wasnt only jaw dropping, i think my jaws really popped out of my mouth!
Quite a coincidence indeed. But undeniably, for me, i know the world is going to end soon. And I know the Son of God will come down from heaven, thus, the second coming of Christ.
Revelations 22:12 "Behold, I am coming soon! My reward is with me, and i will five to everyone according to what he has done."
I even saw a video about this microchip most likely answers about the symbol on the head or right hand.
Revelations 13:16-18 "He also forced everyone, small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on his right hand or on his forehead so that no one could buy or sell unless he had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of his name. This calls for wisdom. If anyone has insight, let him calculate the number of the beast, for it is man's number. His number is 666"
And as of the people who have been predicting dates as of when the end of the world will take place....
Matthew 24:36 "No one knows about the day or hour, even the angels in heaven, nor the Son (foot note in my bible: Some manuscripts do not have nor have son). As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man."
The dates, the hours doesn't matter. What really matters is where you stand when the time comes, when the world will end. Remember, the end of the world doesn't mean full of violence, instead, there would be peace treaties and the unity of a one world. (Thus, fulfilling the scripture in Revelations 13:7 "he was given power to make war against the saints and to conquer them. And he is given authority to EVERY TRIBE, PEOPLE, LANGUAGE, AND NATION") Catastrophes will happen afterward.
This is no laughing matter. I wrote down the biblical facts to prove my statement i wasnt just babbling on my own. If you ask if the bible is true, or you might say that the bible is just written by man...
I happen to see a site with reasons on why the bible is true, check it out yourself: http://www.therivercrc.com/library/seekers/bible.htm
How could one book written by different authors of different time could be so concise without contradicting each other.
2 Peter 1:20-21 Above all, you must understand that no prophecy of Scripture came about by the prophet's own interpretation. For prophecy never had its origin in the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.
If you read Revelations, some of the scriptures have already been fulfilled.
Then how? how can you be saved when this dreadful hour of man happens?
A jailer who guarded Paul and Silas when they were took to prison also asked this.
Acts 16:26-31 Suddenly there was such a violent earthquake that the foundations of the prison were shaken. At once all the prison doors flew open, and everybody's chains came loose. The jailer woke up, and when he saw the prison doors open, he drew his sword and was about to kill himself because he thought the prisoners escaped. but Paul shouted , "Dont harm yourself! We are all here!" The Jailer called for lights, rushed in and fell trembling before Paul and Silas. He then brought them out and asked, "Sirs, what must i do to be saved?" They replied, "believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved- you and your household."
Take care brothers and sisters in Christ. Be aware for the end times are near. We must pray for each other and pray for those who havent accepted Jesus Christ as their personal savior.
God bless everyone.
-Amfaru. We have to spread the word! Revelations 22: 10 "Do not seal up the words of the phrophecy of this book (the Bible), because the time is near"

When you hear the word Disney?
There are only 2 things i could thing immediately after hearing "Disney"
1. They have made great movies back when i was still little. They made unforgettable movies ranging from Lion Kind, Mulan, Sleeping Beauty, and many, many more. They also have unforgettable songs too! Who doesn't get their spine chilling at the starting song of The Lion King's Circle of life? Or who does not fall in love after hearing Meg singing "I wont say (I'm In love)" in Hercules? What wonderful movies, turned into timeless classics.
2. Disney loss their touch. The movies they are producing are not as great as it was before. But of course, they were also worth watch (sometimes). What happened Disney?
It occured to me all of a sudden, when i accidentally tumbled on a video in youtube (www.youtube.com) in Hercules where Meg was singing "I won't say (I'm In love)." It really took me back to childhood. The next thing i knew it, i was looking for Disney classics in youtube. It really took me back. I wonder if ever the new generation could still appreciate this kinds of cartoons nowadays (and yes im part of this new generation, but lets say i was cut in half hehe). The lyrics are witty and wonderfully written that i would really doubt if someone doesnt know what Disney is (or who is Disney). I also read the comments on the video, i wasn't the only one who was reminded of their childhood. My childhood, indeed, was the best... and better than the ones were computer has took over their heads. I hope we could cultivate this mindset over computer-driven-half-witted-addiction to the minds of younglings today when the industry was young and pure. Even, me, myself couldn't watch movies because I'm afraid to see scenes unappropriate. People tell me I'm an adult now, that doesn't seem to cut out for it. I'm not interested in those things anyway haha.
On the other hand, why not watch one my favorite part in mulan. :)
