Ranting and Busy

Tuesday, June 30, 2009

Finally, my spring class is almost over! It’s been two months now since I have started going back to school for spring classes, and finally it is almost over! My Philosophy class will end tomorrow which is also my final exam day, therefore, I have to study but rather I prioritize the blogging, which is not so-so good. Well, I just can’t wait to get over with this pretty soon!
Although, my other class will end on the 16th of July, but it is almost end so soon and I just can’t wait so that I can enjoy more of the warm weather while it is here in Michigan. (You know the unpredictable weather here in our state - :)

Anyway, spring classes is so hard to deal with, everything was shrunk to short period of time which is absolutely so hard for me, especially that I am just started going back to school. Quizzes and exams were like every week and I am not used to it yet, although I am trying. Now, I have decided not to take spring classes or summer classes anymore, rather I just go back to school during fall and winter semester.

Anyway, I have to get back on my review and studies so I can be ready when the time comes for me to take the test tomorrow. I have two exams to be taken this week which is definitely a pain. Oh well, this is life and I have to go with the flow, or else I’ll be sorry, right?

Ya Gotta Love It!

Sunday, June 28, 2009

Driving home from work the other day, Air Supply's "All Out Of Love" came on the radio. Despite the hilariously hokey melody and lyrics, I started thinking...are we in fact all out of love? What has happened to the love song? Has it changed for better or for worse? I guess that's for you to decide.

Also, if you have an Iphone you can eventually listen to Pinoy Mix Radio. This is absolutely amazing since I have been going to You Tube, Imeem just to listen to some of the Filipino songs that I missed.

A Little Snobby?

You Are A Little Snobby




Being a little snobby every once and a while is totally allowed.

If no one was ever snobby, people wouldn't try to better themselves.

While you enjoy the finest things in life (that you can afford), you do tire of superficiality.

You know there's more to life than what's just on the surface.

Endurance Athletes

Wednesday, June 17, 2009

Endurance training and racing requires quite a commitment from athletes ... the commitment is for time and money ... they put up with pain, they eat for the event and buy supplements that cost a bundle ... their equipment is specialized to their events (shoes, high performance clothing, bikes, skis, wet suit, heart monitor, exercise equipment, etc., etc.) Some of the athletes are in the professional ranks, but most are age-groupers. Why do the age-groupers do it?

"Taken" Movie

Last weekend, hubby and I watched a movie together that we had been waiting for months now; it was the movie "taken." It was about a retired spy who wanted to be closer with her 17 year old daughter; therefore, he lived nearby of where her former wife and daughter lived. It was very a nice movie indeed. Maybe because there are some emotional feeling tied up within the story that is interesting to watch while you jump at your seat. The story mainly talking about a seventeen year-old daughter who is the pride and joy of her father who is a retired agent that left the secret service to stay near with her daughter in California. Kim lives with her mother Lenore and her wealthy stepfather Stuart; she convinces the reluctant Bryan to sign an authorization to travel to Paris with her friend Amanda. When they arrive, they share a cab with the stranger Peter and Amanda tells to him that they are alone in Paris. When Bryan succeeds in contacting his daughter, she tells that criminals have just break in the spot and they are kidnapped by an Albanian gang of human trafficking. Bryan promises in the phone to kill the kidnapper of his daughter and immediately travels to Paris to find Kim and chase the criminals. Then, it's up to you now if you want to know what happen... wink*

This is absolutely a good "Father's Day" movie to watch for, except with the violence and action but it will never be a good movie without it. In addition to that, it was also a very movie because it is all about women trafficking and prostitution too. Also, a movie that worthy to be learned especially to those young teenage girls...

What Your Hair Says About You!

When you know it's time to change your style, we bet it's because of how you're feeling ... and don't tell me that that the shaved look in the military doesn't have as much or more to do with fitting in, and it does with functionality. How important is our hair? Do a search for 'hair' in Bing.com (Microsoft's new search engine) and you'll be loaded with 249 million pages ... search for 'shoes' and you'll only get 152 million pages ... it ain't scientific, but it sure is suggestive.

Cheaper Hotel, Great Vacation

Tuesday, June 2, 2009

For over a years now, I have wanted to someday visit my country Philippines, but due to some circumstances of continuing education as well as the financial crisis, I have hard times visiting back my family and friends. Not only that, I also had been missing my country for its warm season and delicious food. Therefore, it is all seem impossible now because Philippines is kind a like 1000 miles away, but not anymore. San Francisco is one of the nicest and famous city in the state of California and some of friends told me that San Francisco is like the Philippines in terms of the weather and people, people because there are a lot of Filipinos living in there and lots of Filipino markets there as well where you can buy Filipino ingredients.

Now, I have wanted to go to California maybe stay there for a week. Good thing I have found a website where I can find cheaper hotels in san Francisco and not only that I can also save money if I have decided to go to the Philippines and stop over at the city of Singapore because I have found a cheap accommodation in singapore at this website as well. There are a lot of options you can find at this website too. You can also find the cheapest prices of hotels using the refining search tool based on star rating, prices, accommodation type, facilities, and availability of the dates you were planning to travel and check in. The best thing about it is that you don’t have to worry on paying it online; you can pay your hotel by the time you arrived which is pretty secured and accessible for your ends.


Now, I can’t wait to someday I can have a vacation and enjoy this cheaper hotel prices while having an unforgettable, great vacation of my life. So, how about you, planning to go for a trip this summer? Then, make a reservation of your hotels now at cheaper than hotel site.
