Website counter new-found freedom!
RHUM (Rock for HUManity) was founded in September 2006 by a group of young professionals who were brought together by a common passion for music and the arts. This passion became their personal advocacy of “rocking for the human race” through community service
One of their latest projects is a community bazaar entitled  ”THREE for TREES: THREE Bazaars to Grow TREES” On the remaining legs of their project they will launch the ADOPT SEEDLING PROJECT Where in the public can purchase the seedlings during these bazaars and will be planted under the sponsors name. This goes with a free photo-opt with the adopted seedling. The goup promises that they will  send updates about their adopted tree (how it has grown big, sturdy and beneficial to the community). 
Sounds Fun right?! 
Planting a tree can have tremendous influences on communities. Tree planting improves our environment. Planting a tree can add to our incomes and decrease energy costs. To plant a tree can enhance our quality of life and improve our health. I can’t think of many things that touch us so completely as does planting a tree. 
Don’t miss out the 2nd leg if you are just around the area! Go visit! IBring your Family and friends at the Bulwagang Claret, U.P. Village, Q.C. The Bazaar opens 8am to 8pm FREE ENTRANCE, Lots of good finds and Food trip galore!

All Things Fangirl ❣: Fighting Junior's car ride date

It’s been awhile since i wrote something on my personal (kinda) tumblr! so lemme just reblog this quick-funny review of a popular variety show in korea “WE GOT MARRIED” (This is the other side of me…F-A-N-G-I-R-L) - gOld

goldie808:

Let me be delusional for awhile with this WGM thing:

First off i’m not a fan of Lee Se Na nor an anti Eun-seo. I’m not an official ELF but i’m a fan of super junior.fishy-anchovy-evil maknae are my top biases, Hyukjae has taken over Hae’s place! (seriously,stop flashing that gummy smile…

Sharing this to my SINGLE friends! This! This what i  am talking about! SINGLEness isn’t bad after all! Well Yes! It’s not  always easy being single, or a solo mom but you can make the best of it!  Like me, *coughs* I’m H A P P Y!
There is a whole world out there to experience, and you don’t need a significant other to enjoy it.

i once detested the word “single.” i thought it was meant for slices of cheese, or those old records you collected as a teenager. singleness was a mystery to be solved before the channel changed; not a lifestyle to claim for very long. but in fact, singleness isn’t so bad after all. yes, ending a chapter in your life is never easy. but Life has a room for a little of everything… sometimes you dance with a partner, and sometimes you dance alone. but the important thing is to keep dancing.

It’s a Sign

Found this article…. It’s not my current state nor it has something to do about me

( yes!really!i haven’t entered the DANGEROUS CONFUSING situation yet..well… almost?tempted?) but i consider this as a Sign!

Break off this relationship today.
You’ll hurt, you’ll feel broken-hearted, but you’ll be better off. Take some time to get really clear with yourself about who you are and what you want. The most important relationship you’ll ever have in this world is the one you have with yourself. And eventually, you’ll fall in love again ” with someone who’s willing to make you first in his life! - Dr.Phil.com

I like myself better when I’m single

Just a thought…

Obviously I’ve been single for….some years …. Enjoying it, still. I like the independence, the freedom, and the privacy…Honestly my being a single mother to my 2 awesome boys has been pretty FANTASTIC!..seriously!Reality bites but being single allows me to do what i want without worrying…

Dear Mr. Almost right, ( i guess )

I’m Sorry, I just wanted to be HAPPY on my own (for now)

Love, The solo Mom who recognizes and embraces her new found freedom (ME!)



One more Hoorah for 2011 A bali-thai kind of vacation plus hungry tigers.

Short vacation break before saying good bye to 2011. My Family took a trip off a little up north…a 45 minute drive from City of San.Fernando to subic via SCTEX.

My sister and brother in law arrange all the booking and activities for all of us,(that’s actually their role in the family,they serve as our hotel reservation agents LOL)

My parents stayed at SEGARA EXECUTIVE LOFT, My sisters together with my cousins stayed at SEGARA SUITES…2 connecting suites and one. The whole stay was of course FUN!, Nothing beats an ultimate FAMILY BONDING!

The Segara Suites Photobucket

A 10 to 15 steps ( yes that close! lol )from the suites going to the villas entrance Photobucket

The spacious villas are decorated in modern Balinese interiors, with spacious in-suite bathrooms. High ceilinged rooms, floor-to-ceiling glass windows, and pocket gardens are an ode to resort living, combining a nature-inspired ambiance and first-rate amenities. Executive Loft.

How to Know It’s Real Love

I just found this article and fudge! The first part was about the “FUTURE” and the last part is exactly what i waaaant!…naaah It could just be coincidence….READ AT YOUR OWN RISK….i just took the risk…step 1 and 10 is like written for me!

Steps

  1. 1
    Consider his future thoughts. He starts thinking about the future and you’re in it—his future once meant he had a date on Saturday night, but with you, the future seems definite. Not only does he plan to see you this weekend, but he wants to see you a year from now. Also, when planning his next vacation, he finds himself making plans with you in them, and when his best friend gets married in six months, you’re his date.

  2. 2
    Note whether he’s making room for you. Other priorities take a back seat—He use to work out religiously, but lately, when you’re free for dinner, he doesn’t mind missing his workout. Not only that, but his workaholic tendency of bringing work home on weekends to get ahead seems a bit excessive to him now, and his “to do” list is not as important as it once was to him.
  3. 3
    See if he is softening when it comes to you. He doesn’t mind compromising today—there was a time when it was his way or the highway, but with you it’s suddenly different. He doesn’t mind missing “a night out with the guys” anymore, and he doesn’t even mind going to see that French movie in sub-titles. He even takes some good-natured taunts from his friends, when secretly they wish they were in his shoes.
  4. 4
    Note if his spare time is mostly time spent with you. He loves spending time with you—this one is pretty obvious but important, nonetheless. He looks forward to seeing you, and it doesn’t matter what the two of you do as long as he gets to spend time with you; in fact, those long walks you like so well are okay with him too. He now finds that when he is not with you, he is thinking about you constantly.
  5. 5
    Watch his field of attention. He doesn’t notice other women as much. Although he can’t help but notice a beautiful woman when one walks by, now that he’s so in love with you, many of them slip by, and to him, in his mind, they don’t even compare with you. Better yet is the fact that he doesn’t flirt as much as he used to. He is coming to realize that you’re the only woman that really matters to him and your feelings matter to him too.
  6. 6
    Note the sparks. You have great chemistry—you can’t be in love with someone you don’t have chemistry with. He seems to always be on the same wavelength, and you both have similar thoughts, which is a great sign.
  7. 7
    Be aware of your faults in his eyes. He finds your quirks charming—the fact that you snort when you start laughing hard, or how when you eat, your food can not be touching each other on the plate fills him with inexplicable feelings of happiness. You say things that make you different from the others and this is one of the things that make you so attractive to him. In fact, he’s finding out more and more that he likes you just the way you are.
  8. 8
    Consider how curious he has become about you. He realizes he’s falling in love with you because he wants to find out everything about you. He wants to know where you come from, who your parents are (a biggie), what you think about and why, and what makes you laugh. He truly cares about your feelings, and if you’ve had a bad day or you’re upset about something, he wants to cheer you up, not because he has to, but because he genuinely wants you to be happy.
  9. 9
    Divine if his thoughts keep coming back to you. He can’t stop thinking about you—he is consumed by thoughts of you. You just happen to pop in his head for no reason, he even wonders if you think of him as much. He wonders what you’re doing, and he considers calling you but doesn’t, (he doesn’t want to look too eager). He thinks about you so much now that even when he’s out with his friends and he spots something in a shop window he thinks you would like when a couple of weeks ago he wouldn’t have given a second glance. You are the last thing he thinks about when he goes to bed at night. He’s got it bad for you, and that’s good.
  10. 10
    Consider whether talk about the ex has ceased. He’s completely forgotten about his ex wife or girlfriend. All he thinks about is you now and that’s exactly what you want.

Bahay Maria Orphanage - Give Love on Christmas Day

My First ever “charity work” with my friend Issa who is also on a same mission as mine gave me a sense  of FULFILLMENT.

It’s always been my dream..our dream to help the less fortunate…and Giving is always a great feeling right? It’s one little way of giving back the good i have received over the years..

Our schedule is around 9am…But we were a bit late since we still have to wait for the food that we ordered at Ambers…So while waiting..we spazz a bit - fangirling talk…


Photobucket Issa teaching me how to write in Korean! Hahaha Photobucket

Heading to Bahay Maria at around 10am. We are residing around in makati so it only took us 10minutes from ambers baktikan to bel air.

We were greeted warmly by Ms. Rosie ( one of the staff of Bahay Maria Orphanage) We had a little chat wile waiting for the kids to go down. We only stayed for like 20 minutes, since the group who are scheduled at 10am are all ready set.

BAHAY MARIA maintains a house for abandoned and abused kids. There are now 36 kids at Bahay Maria. 35 are girls and 1 boy. Ages 5 to 21 y/o.

I was informed that they’re taking care of a 21 yr old girl with cerebral palsy. I really wanted to see her, hug her and tell her it will be ok. But she’s Bedridden.and i think we are not allowed to go upstairs.

the House is clean,very spacious and cozy and they have a mini prayer room or i think a mini chapel at the ground floor. Obviously,The place is very well managed by the staff. We haven’t had the chance to meet Sister Carmela though because She’s not feeling well that day.

I do plan on going back again at BAHAY MARIA,and hopefully we can do some activities and interact more with the kids coz I believe that there is so much more to share with them not just material things..

Till Next Time kids!
