AceTeryahe Family Christmas Party 2011 @ Linmarr Apartelle | December 16, 2011

Trolling with my Secret Santa present. The one whom I was able to pick didn’t have a single idea I was his Secret Santa. I even let him choose the wrapper and the card design. lol!

And as you can notice, the paper-bag is a bit girly. Much more to actually kill his suspicion. lol! :))

My bed during the exam week. :))

A Night Full of Good Mornings

So everything revolved around the Good Morning towel that one of us proposed. The night turned out to be a really indescribable one. Food and drinks were everywhere, and fun and laughters were overfowing.

Our AceTeryahe Family Christmas party at Linmarr Apartelle was such a blast, we hoped we could spend one more night there together. :)

So, many people say that this “Push Button to Cross” is really not working. They say it’s just a dummy, a placebo. It doesn’t really automatically shizz the traffic light to let you cross. You still have to wait for the traffic to stop.

But I have this habit of pushing that button whenever I try to cross the street because even though in my head, I know it doesn’t work, I also know that it won’t kill you to push it.

But one friend of mine told me that the cross button really does work. He said that one time, while he was waiting for his turn to cross, the traffic aide told him to push the button so he could cross. My other friend however negated his statement and said that that button is really just a placebo, to make you believe it would let you cross.

So, to prove matters to myself, I tried to make an experiment. That photo taken above is in front of the Ateneo de Davao University. The pedestrian there has a good amount of length that you really had to wait for the motor vehicles to stop before you can dare cross safely.

So I stood there without pushing the button, watching the cars in front of me zoom by. The traffic light signaled for the opposite lane to stop, but the red hand signal for pedestrians was still up. I still waited. When the traffic light turned green, the red hand signal was still flashing.

Then I pushed the button and waited. When the traffic light turned red, I was amazed when the red hand signal switched the the yellow “walk” sign. I was able to cross the street. :)

So, after that simple experiment, I therefore conclude, that the button really does work. People just perceived that it was supposed to automatically signal to walk when one pushes it. But it doesn’t really work that way. That button works as a sensor whenever someone wants to cross the street. When the red light lights up, the sensor will signal that whoever wants to cross can now cross safely.

My secondary heaven. :p

Every mobile network provider is really annoying..

Whether it be Globe, Smart, or Sun, they really have flaws in their service. Whether you’re on prepaid or postpaid, they will find a way to grab you off your money whenever you load your SIM or pay your bills.

But even though we hate how these network providers rob us off legally, we don’t have a choice but to continue using their service simply because nowadays, mobile communication is already considered a necessity.

I’ve been a victim of those three network providers. I have a Globe and Smart prepaid account, and a postpaid account on Sun. Each of those networks give me the migraine whenever I load my prepaid account or receive my postpaid bill.

There’s been an issue about this before, when Senator Enrile was robbed off his remaining credits. He even passed a law about it, but I guess that was put under the grave because nothing happened. There were still unnecessary unbilled charges, and load-eating ones.

What can we really do about it? Nothing. Unless every subscriber in the Philippines would protest and stop texting or calling even for a day.

But I guess that would be impossible. :p

Perhaps I just needed to let this out.

I totally understand Rhian Ramos’ decision to get rid of her and Mo Twister’s baby. In turn of events when you have to decide between your career and whatever it is that will impede it, your thoughts will go blurry, and your decisions hazy. Maybe it’s because of fact that you will be subjected to judgments that would ruin you not only for whatever you have, but as a person.

I guess the only thing to do is to just accept that one day, whatever you do will get back to you, maybe twice or three times more. But you shouldn’t blame it. You did it, so you suffer whatever consequence it brings you.

BUT, Doing the same thing for the second time around is definitely unforgivable. The first round should have already pushed her conscience to the rocks, and maybe try to prevent it from happening again. If the rumours of her getting rid of her second baby without telling Mo, then that is really sick. Taking a life once because of confusion may not be condemned much, but doing it again for the same circumstance is unacceptable.

Do You?

Do you remember when you were a kid and you fight with your mum so as you could go to the playground?

Do you remember when you used to fight with your friends so as to be able to sit on the swing and sway all day long?

Do you remember when some bullies approach you and force you to leave your seat?

Do you remember how you cry as your mum comforted you?

Do you remember when you were a teen and you fight with your mum so as you could go to the club?

Do you remember when you used to fight with other drunk girls because they were taking too long in the toilet?

Do you remember when some drunk dudes approach you and force you to go home with them?

Do you remember how you cry as your mum comforted you?

Do you remember when you’re an adult and you fight with your mum so as you could marry this guy whom your family distrusts?

Do you remember when you used to confront women who seemed to be hitting on your husband?

Do you remember when he finally broke your heart, and broke the family that you were starting to build?

Do you remember how you cry as your mum comforted you?

Many years could pass by, many troubles would hit you on the face. You’ll grow up, meet people; say hi, say goodbye, get hurt, be happy…But remember, in any phase of your life, your mother is there not to say, “I told you so,” but to say, “I told you I’m here.” :)

Hidden underneath your shadow. :)

I like the new consumer’s bag from National Bookstore. :)

OMG! Fiona gave birth! We don't even know she was pregnant! lol! :p

Second Chances

When you get hurt, you always tell yourself it will never happen again. The person who hurt you will never ever be given the chance to get to your life again and give you more pain that what you have experienced.

But when the time comes that he will return and ask for second chances, all the memories, the happiness he brought, and the emotions you feel for him would come back and cloud your mind as if telling you to forget that he hurt you and accept him back into your life. It’s as if leaving you no choice but to give him a second chance.

But second chances are never like the first experiences. A lot of things change. Your guard is up, your trust is broken, and then in the long run you realize you’re never as happy as before because every minute scares you that you might get hurt again.

So sometimes I ask, “Why do people give second chances? Is it really worth it, or they just didn’t want to accept that they’ve been made a fool once?” Or maybe it’s really love. Because it’s given that love conquers all, even the pain, the scar, and the fear of getting hurt again.

Hot brewed coffee to start my night. :)
