Much as I don’t want to I actually have no choice. I am talking about the College Entrance Review of my daughter. Yep she’s going to review twice, the first one with LSC which is the school’s choice (yeah the school has a say on where we want our children to enroll, or should I say they were the ones who picked the review school for our kids). Since when did this happen? Only if you enroll your kids to this school. Quite authoritarian eh, we don’t have a choice but to follow because they said they will not release the report cards. Since when is college entrance review compulsory? During my time we didn’t have that, or if ever there was, it was the parents who decides whether they want their kids to attend or not. Oh goodness I can rant over and over again, but I don’t have a CHOICE, the report cards won’t be released plus my kid won’t be admitted for next school year. Yeah HARD! They are! It’s part of the student-parent-school agreement, smart move eh! Boo!

OMG, I can’t believe there are people who do not have manners when leaving a comment in certain blogs. Like duh, is it really necessary? If you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t leave comments ok? You try to be funny? Nope, you don’t sound funny at all. It’s just plain rude, what is that, you leave comments just for the sake of leaving a mark? Sad, you make people sad…ah make that you make people hate you. What you have are uncollected comments, can’t you be sensitive enough to think you’re hurting other people?
*I happen to read a comment from another blog left by someone and I just find it foul, even if it was meant as a joke.*

I got so excited when I login to my account, wow more than 20 offers….good…NOT! With the more than 20 offers, I was not even qualified to grab one, can you believe that? Everytime I click on accept, it gives an error…really huh. What is that, for display only? Yeah tell me about it. So what are you trying to project? There are still a lot of advertisers who go to you? Or you want to make it appear that you are still in the running? What? What? I really do not understand, please tell me.

OMG! What is happening? I just wrote a post with pictures from last Easter and I couldn’t publish it? It said fatal memory error…wtf is that? Is there something wrong with Wordpress? This message first appeared two weeks ago and I just didn’t mind it. And what do I get now? Geez, I am going to faint…I don’t know how to go about allocating some memory blahblah….HELP! It failed to allocate by itself! What do I do now? **faints**

Today is my son’s graduation. He was not excited at all, because of this damn thing that happened. Yep that’s the regulation of the school. If you have a red mark in the report card, you won’t be able to get a medal when you graduate. I sort of feel bad about it, and I thought I was over it. I actually knew that was coming but still had high hopes that the school admin will be considerate enough, but no. Oh well, as long as I know that the general average of my son qualifies him to get a medal, that’s more than enough. Lessons are learned the hard way indeed!

I was looking for my iron the other night coz I wanted to straighten my hair. I remember using it last Saturday, and placing it on the bed to let it cool before putting it inside the drawer. The night I wanted to use it, I couldn’t find it in the drawer. I asked our helper if she placed it inside the drawer, coz most of the time she’s the one doing it. She couldn’t remember it either. She said she didn’t see it on the bed. I was really getting impatient already. I asked everyone including my 2 boys if they used it, lol. I looked everywhere but couldn’t find it. The following day we kept looking for it. I was like mumbling too many words already out of frustration. I heard N say, do I get a reward when I find it? Ha! At the back of my mind, I was thinking, this guy has something to do with the missing iron. And true enough, this is where he placed it. It blended so well that none of us noticed it. Grrrrrrrrrrr! Now tell me, who would ever try looking for it there? Read the rest of the story here .

Hello? Can you explain that? How ironic right? Oh well! The plan that I got from my web host is apt for small businesses and home offices. Now they advised me to upgrade my plan which I just did. I picked the one apt for corporations and enterprises which I’m even not. Boo! Talk about having a PR 0! As it is, I’ve exceeded my bandwidth for the month of January, and it’s only the 22nd.
Oh, I’d like to thank CutiePatootie for sending me an E, informing me about the status of my website. I was out the whole day again, and just got back at around four in the afternoon. Good thing the tech support guys of my web host are still online. I requested them to bring back my website right away, which they did. I promised to pay them first thing tomorrow morning. See? it’s really nice to have a reliable and caring web host ^_^

Remember this entry? I was short of jumping with joy when I got a big discount from the shop in Greenhills where I bought it. And what do you know? Golly I found it in one of the shops in 168 Mall at Divisoria for only 500php. I felt really bad even if I got a huge discount. So if you guys want to have that pretty candle holder, go to 168 Mall. It’s located at the 2nd floor, right beside the escalator on your left side. There are a lot more items you can find there.

If you noticed, there’s not much activity happening over here at my dot com. I’m in the process of shifting to another webhost. I’m no longer happy with my existing one, since it’s been down a lot lately. Never mind that I paid my hosting with them until January of next year.
Now I’m looking forward to my new webhost. Their tech support guy Marlon is really a great help. I asked for assistance in the transfer since I am pretty clueless on how to do it. He was able to back up everything and my dot com is working fine over at a temporary site. Nothing was erased thank God. He didn’t give me a full assurance that nothing will be erased but he said he’ll try his best and he did! Thanks Marlon. Now I’m just waiting for the transfer for me to start writing again there. He advised me not to have any writing activity until the effect of the transfer. I hope it won’t take that long ^_^
Update: It did not take that long, goodbye old webhost! Thanks for the help too KC, as usual she is always to my rescue.

Waaaaaahhhhh! I need to put something on my sidebar but I can’t. I can’t find the update button. All I see is “if files were writable then you can edit it”. Oly Guacamole, what’s happening? Please tell me! I did everything from editing the index.php but it did not change. I’m quite frustrated already! I just updated my theme like 3 days ago and it was working fine, now its waaaaahhhhhh! I need your help badly please. Whoever can shed light on this, I’d be very happy and thankful. Please don’t play tricks on me, I’ve been working hard you know, and I don’t have any “brains” left to try and figure out what is wrong!

Hay naku! Talaga naman! Sabi dahil daw sa system error nila kaya na reject ang posts ko. Oo dalawang post. Dalawang posts na pinaghirapan kong gawin. Di biro ang umupo at magsulat noh. Kung san san nako nakatingin baka sakali may mga lumabas na pangungusap at pede kong kopyahin. Minsan naka tingala ako sa kisame baka sakali andun yung sagot sa mga tanong ko. Tapos ganun ganun nalang? Ni-reject nila yung posts dahil sa sarili nilang pagkakamali, tapos ang sagot lang sayo is sorry for the inconvenience? Tama yun? Hay buhay nga naman! Patawarin nyo na ako, first time ko kasi ma-reject dito sa kumpanyang eto, or totally 1st time ma reject na di pede mag resubmit. Ang daya di ba? At eto pa, meron pang dagdag trabaho, kung gusto ko daw, tanggalin ko yung 2 particular posts, aba di bale nalang, tulong ko nalang sa kanila yun, pasko naman eh.

Have you tried eating at Razon’s here in Manila? N and I are avid fans of Razon’s Halo-Halo and Pancit Luglog. I was really fine and contented eating at Razon’s MOA, Greenhills and Banawe Branches until I tried Razon’s in San Fernando, Pampanga. Can you see the difference? The serving here in Manila is not as heaping, and to think they say that there’s not much difference. Big difference I tell you! Just look at the pancit luglog, tell me, whenever you eat at Razon’s in Manila, do they put as much chicharon (pork rind)? Do you see the same amount of leche flan in your halo-halo?

I feel so down lately, I hope it’s just the weather, but I don’t think it is. My life has become quite routinary, and I am not at all happy about it. I miss the times that I can do a lot of things, like read a book, diy stuffs, nail art, beading, watching movies, watching television, chatting with friends, playing video games, bloghopping, going out with friends and fixing the house. I think doing sponsored writing has taken it’s toll. I know it’s my fault, who does not want to earn a lil extra moolah. It’s because I miss the times that I earn my own keep. It’s been like 9 years already. And I was just happy again to be earning. Ooops, don’t get me wrong with this. N has been providing me with the things I need (there’s nothing to complain here) but I just miss the times that I don’t need to ask or something, and just go ahead and buy things that satisfy me once in a while. I know you get my point.
But is it really worth my time? At some point, I think it is, but this time it should not consume me. As it is, I’m a little eager to just click and click all the available offers without me thinking, can this cause stress? I admit, I’ve been a little stressed beating deadlines, and has caused me some zits. Plus the fact that I have been eating a lot of junk foods while in front of the laptop doing sponsored posts. Yes it helps me think while munching on those chips, weird or not, well that’s me. I’m no longer allowing myself to sit my b**t out in front of the laptop refreshing the page too often waiting for an opportunity to appear, yes it gets a little tiring. Don’t get me wrong with this entry, yes I’ll still be doing sponsored writing of course! Especially now that it has allowed me to sponsor my own travels, I can now commit to my cousins to go with them to Beijing and Shanghai this March, thanks to “getting paid to blog”. Geez, it’s only now that I realized, OMG what am I trying to say? Bottom line is I still like to do sponsored writing and I just cannot give it up just yet. Golly, what boredom can do! I can’t even make up my mind. But I promise you, I can get rid of boredom and find something nice to do. That is what I’m made of, nothing and nobody can put me down! Yeeha!

I just do not understand why there are still people who are ill-mannered and inconsiderate. At our wedding coverage yesterday, the couple hired two different teams of photographers. This is not the first time that we covered a wedding with 2 teams of photographers, but this is the first time I experienced such irresponsible photographer. I was elbowed, yes me, a frail photographer in my little black dress! How dare him! We were all lined up, ready to take photos of the couple, I was positioned in the right spot, and he was beside me. He probably wanted to exchange places with me, so he can take better pictures. But what the hell is that elbow for? This is not a do or die shot anyway! I may have forgiven you when you blocked my way twice or thrice, but this elbow thing? Man, we shall still see each other!
This is work, and remember we were both hired. Can you please at least give courtesy and show some respect next time, you are a photographer too and you wouldn’t want this to happen, know how to play fair. Use your head, you can still take good pictures even in the sidelines you know!

The report cards were released the other day, but Josh was not given his, instead I got a “love letter” from his class adviser requesting us to go see the HELE (Home Economics) teacher. So I went to the AV Room yesterday and talked with the teacher. He did not pass 1 project so he got a grade of 0, making his grade in the report card 68, yes for the first time, a red mark. The teacher claimed that she sent a warning slip, to which I asked, how come I did not get any? She showed me the copies but could not provide her duplicate copy of the slip she was suppose to give my son. I really didn’t have time to argue with her as I was in a hurry to leave for a meeting. There will be a PTC tomorrow, and I’m still not resting my case.
Now he can’t be in the top 10, even if his average is 90.4 because of that damn HELE. First time since he started school. I am sad and disappointed, but what can I do?
Ish on the other hand got her report card too. Yep, I’m quite disappointed with her grades too, but encouraged her to concentrate more. It’s hard raising up teenagers, seems like a lot is getting in their way when it comes to their studies, they are not as focused anymore. I don’t like to pressure them either, but at the same time I am disappointed when they fall short of my expectations…what now?
Posted by girlie on December 22, 2006
On my way there, I had mixed feelings, anger coupled with disappointment, and at the back of my head I was silently praying, Lord I hope not, as I know i’ll be disappointed big time. True enough I was disppointed and heart broken, I didn’t expect that she’d be doing it to me, as I am trying very hard to communicate with her, understand her, stoop 100 levels down just to get through. To borrow my son’s famous line…Ahhhhh….This is Life! Indeed this is life and it’s wonderful!

You love your crown coz you think they glitter with gems, but the truth is, it’s a crown with toxic, smelly poop, sending a deadly stench across the miles…you are an expert in playing dirty games…what else is new? it’s so you anyway…you get your way all the time, but I say your time will come…excuse me, I feel like throwing up ***pffffft***
and oh, did I tell you that my name is girlie MACAPAGAL-ARROYO? that my name is girlie MACAPAGAL-ARROYO? oh make that girlie BUSH…harhar…peacepiss out!
