CE GOES TO HONGKONG AND MACAU
By: April Ann Contrata De Guzman

At the thought of documenting our Field Trip that took place last January 26 to 28, I was like staring into the monitor for quite some time thinking, “Sure, it’s been fun and all and it’s been a blast. But.. where would I start? Which shall I include and which shall I not?” I was also happy because in a way it also means I have to relive the moments that we had back then. And yes, that is nice.


Commercial Muna.

I don't know what's keeping me from posting my Deathly Hallows' review of sort, but I stil don't feel like posting it haha. It's very unusual because I was very eager to post my views last time (HBP) and yet this time.. haha. Maybe I am silently waiting for the buzz to subside a bit, though I doubt it will ever be 'cause there's still Part 2.. or maybe it's a good thing, so that somehow, if I would post it halfway our 8 months of waiting then it may refresh everything (though there isn't really a need) haha. Gulo ko rin e no? Alright, so commercial muna nga.

Because I Am Never Good At Describing Myself...

... I tried this quiz, as suggested by Twittermate Olis. lol. I must say it is really (Read: REALLY) accurate. Reading the results made me think, "Wow, that's me!" Lines with asterisks (*) are my personal comments.
  Read if you must. Try if you want.
http://www.quizbox.com/personality/test82.aspx

Your view on yourself:
You are down-to-earth and people like you because you are so straightforward. You are an efficient problem solver because you will listen to both sides of an argument before making a decision that usually appeals to both parties.

The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:
You are a true romantic. When you are in love, you will do anything and everything to keep your love true. 

* WOW. Hahahaha.

Your readiness to commit to a relationship:
You are ready to commit as soon as you meet the right person. And you believe you will pretty much know as soon as you might that person.
The seriousness of your love:
You are very serious about relationships and aren't interested in wasting time with people you don't really like. If you meet the right person, you will fall deeply and beautifully in love.
* :)

 Your views on education
You may not like to study but you have many practical ideas. You listen to your own instincts and tend to follow your heart, so you will probably end up with an unusual job.
* Yeah.

The right job for you: You have plenty of dream jobs but have little chance of doing any of them if you don't focus on something in particular. You need to choose something and go for it to be happy and achieve success.
* Tamaaa!

How do you view success: You are afraid of failure and scared to have a go at the career you would like to have in case you don't succeed. Don't give up when you haven't yet even started! Be courageous.
* Goodness yes.

What are you most afraid of:
You are concerned about your image and the way others see you. This means that you try very hard to be accepted by other people. It's time for you to believe in who you are, not what you wear.


Who is your true self: You are mature, reasonable, honest and give good advice. People ask for your comments on all sorts of different issues. Sometimes you might find yourself in a dilemma when trapped with a problem, which your heart rather than your head needs to solve.
* Grins *




#ChordsOfStrength - David Archuleta (an April-ish review)

Hi! So I'm posting this blog thru my mate's phone. We planned on going online on a nearby cafe here in the boarding house, but changed plans because of the gloomy weather. And so yeah, as much as I don't want to call it a review, lol, but it seems to me that this is, I just want to share my thoughts about this memoir/bio of sorts, that was written by one of my fave musicians, David Archuleta -- Chords Of Strength.


What's Inside....
