Magmahal Muli..

a super nice song! sung by Say (my crush ssshhh) and Sam (darn u! lucky guy! u get to sing with her~ heheh)

Magmahal Muli
by Say and Sam

Umaasang magmamahal muli
Ang buong akala ko’y siya na
Kabiguan ang napala
Paghilom ng puso’y hindi madali
Ang malamang mahal mo’y
Walang pag ibig sayo

Ang umasang magmahal muli
Siyang magagawa
Huwag hanapin ang pag-ibig
Ito’y darating
Ito’y darating
Ito’y darating sayo

Hanggang sa tayo’y matuto
Sa kabiguan natamo
Kaya ako ay maghihintay
Sa tunay kong mahal
Isipin ang bukas at kalimutan ang nakalipas

Ang umasang magmahal muli
Siyang magagawa
Huwag hanapin ang pag-ibig
Ito’y darating sayo
Aking naranasan
Ohhhhhhh
Ang pagluha ng tulad sa ulan

Ang umasang magmamahal muli
Siyang magagawa
Huwag hanapin ang pag ibig
Ito’y darating
Ang umasang magmamahal muli
Siyang magagawa
Huwag hanapin ang pag ibig
Ito’y darating
Ito’y darating
Ito’y darating sayo

Ohhhhhhh…..ito’y darating sayo

" I Can't Get No, Satisfaction! "

god! they sure can't! it's not that i'm bitter.. well, yeah i am.. but i just don't find it fair for other people like myself. we had a free for all recitation in our ETAR subject. People are really "scavenging" for points. Once is not just enough! They need more! sheesh! HELLO?! What about the others?!

I don't know what to say...

Where Are You?

a song that i've heard over the radio.. "Where Are You" by Natalie and Justin Roman ;)

i'm singing this song... *sigh*

I know you're out there baby
Somewhere . .
There's someone out there for me (I know there's somebody out there)
I know she's waiting so patiently
Can you tell her name (Won't somebody tell me her name)
This lifelong search is going to drive me insane (That's right)
How does she laugh, how does she cry
Whats the color of her eyes
Does she even realize, I'm here
Where is she, where is she, where is she
Where is this beautiful girl
Who is she, who is she
Who's going to complete my world
Where is she, where is she, where is she
Where is this beautiful girl
Who is she, who is she
Who's going to complete my world
Da da da da da
Where are you . . .

and i hope someone out there is singing this girl part...

I'm staring out at the sky (I see you baby)
Praying he will walk in my life
Where is the man of my dreams (I'm right here) yeah yeah
I'll wait forever, how silly it seems
How does he laugh, how does he cry
Whats the color of his eyes
Does he even realize, I'm here
Where is he, where is he, where is he
Where is this beautiful guy
Who is he, who is he
Who's going to take me so high
Where is he, where is he, where is he
Where is this beautiful guy
Who is he, who is he
Who's going to take me so high Lalalaa(Where are you)

and the rest of the song...

There's someone out there for me (There's someone out there for me)
I know she's waiting so patiently (so patiently)
Can you tell me her name (can you tell me his name)
This lifelong search is going to drive me insane; Thats right

How does he laugh, how does he cry
Whats the color of his eyes
Does he even realize, I'm here

Where is she, where is she, where is she
Where is this beautiful girl
Who is she, who is she
Who's going to complete my world

Where is he, where is he, where is he
Where is this beautiful guy
Who is he, who is he
Who's going to take me so high

Lalalaalalaa
I know you're out there
Lalalaalalaa

Where are you
I'm going to look all over the world baby
Because I know you're out there
I know it might sound crazy but I think I love you

Lalalaalalaa

Where are you

Rants and raves for the movie Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire

This 4th installment of the Harry potter movie series, in my opinion, is by far the best among the previous 3. The graphics and effects were very amazing. You'll definitely utter the "oohs" and "aahs" when you watch it. Will not go into the deeper details of the movie so as not to spoil the others who haven't watched it yet.

One thing I didn't like about the movie was it being FAST-PACED.. they showed the important parts and events of the book but they alloted short scenes for those. As they show the scenes from the book you'll be very excited to see what's going to happen but then it will be cut short. just like saying that this will happen etc. but WHAT ABOUT THE NON-READERS of the HP series? *sigh* This book is my most favorite among the 6 books of Harry Potter. Well, i guess i was expecting more from it coz this was my favorite.. hehe

anyway, Cho Chang... very beautiful... hehe but i guess Heart Evangelista would be better for that role.. Cho Chang's character spoke very little in the movie.. too disappointing.. Even Fleur and Krum.. I was expecting to hear their French and Russian "English" accent. But still too little script.. They stood out as extras... such a waste of talent..

But still, this movie is still worth the time and money to watch ;)

The Haunting of the Professors...

My last sem as a BS Bio Major has just started and guess what, it feels like i'm back to being a first year student again! The minor subject profs were our profs when we were in our first year. Ma'am nicholas for our SocioProblems (SCL110), Ma'am Gabo for our Phil. Gov't Cons. (PGC) and of course! my MOST FAVOURITE (in a sarcastic manner) prof, Sir Domingo for our Economics n Taxation (ETAR).

Still an assignment giver Nicholas.. gave us lots of assignments and she likes to always give role playing assignments! argh! we have our thesis to attend to and still you give us these first yr stuffs!?

Hands down for Ma'am Gabo, i think she has changed, still she likes students to recite but now she's become more fun and interesting. maybe this subject is her forte.

and now SIR Domingo! yeech! no change! he wants us to treat his subject like a SUPER MAJOR subject. Yes.. it's a minor subject but i treat it with equal importance as the majors but this profs makes it more important! Why can't he just follow the textbook?! He even asked us to research in the internet for 3 websites for some BASIC questions in Economics! and he said that he'll get the questions from the websites and not from the book!?! D_U_H!!!! why even ask us to buy the book if they'll be used only in the Major exams!? I DONT SEE THE POINT! and the internet is not the BEST source of FACTS! DOMINGO WAKE UP!!!! WAKE UP!!!

This sem's majors are Ecology and Animal Physiology. and all i can say is that we've got pretty interesting new profs. Sir Pavia for Ecology lec, Sir Afan n Pavia for the lab part, and Dr. Simeon for Animal Physio lec, Sir Papa and Ma'am Valmonte for the lab part. Sir pavia's class is very interesting, he takes out the context of the book and broaden it with some practical applications. It's pretty good, and I'm LEARNING! Well i guess Ecology will be one of the subjects that I will enjoy.

Dr. Simeon, i saw her as a terrorist. Really, she's pretty scary esp. her loud booming voice. But i can't really say more about her, so far our classes with her is pretty fun too, she tells jokes but what's scary is that she wants the class to always participate in the discussion ...

All i can say for the lab part of the two lectures is that it will be a very fun and interesting lab works for the whole sem! We've got GOOD profs for them :D

More Puppies!!! :D

"Kumpulan Tayo!"


"Sarap Kapiling"


"Hmmm Comfy!"


"Simba.. Kaw ba yan?"

Honey! The puppies are here!!! :D

After two months of pregnancy, our dog, Xiao Ru, gave birth today Nov. 5, 2005 to seven (7) HEALTHY puppies! :D

It's been a tiring day! Can't sleep last night because Xiao Ru was panting so hard, a sign that she is giving birth. I woke up at 7 and there she was.. already have given birth to 2 puppies. The sad thing was the two puppies were stuck in the "holes" of the cage. I got so nervous.. my parents went out and i was left alone. The puppies were crying soo loud and Xiao Ru was whining and kept on pushing the puppies out of the holes of the cage. Luckily, i didnt panic and turned the puppies head around and they stucked heads were pulled out. whew! I thought the two puppies were goners!!! So after that we transfered them to a more open space so that the incident won't happen on the next birth.

after an hour, another puppy came out. then 3 hours have passed wala pa rin lumalabas kaya we called a Vet.. sabi niya ganun daw then un may lumabas na isa then after the vet left another one was born. then 6th puppy..

the 7th one died... may God bless his soul.. so sad..


then the 8th one was born.. :D We now have a total of 7 puppies! :D don't know kung meron pa.. still waiting....

So tired.. ako nagassist kay Xiao Ru to give birth hehe im practicing my medical skills with a DOG!!! tapos obstetrics pa ito! hehe ano ba ito! hehe ito ba ung specialize ko sa Medicine heheh baka walang magpagamot sa akin hehehe

Although it was tiring, i found it fulfilling in my part. First time in my life that i saw an animal giving birth. It was a very nice experience. at least when i have my internship in Med, i wont get shock sa emergency room ng obstetrics part ;)

Oh yah, 4 girls 3 boys ;)

some pics

a very caring mother


tired...


getting some sleep before another one comes out.. keep busy little pups!

Oh yah.. By the way...

hehe i'm kinda doing a Steve Jobs here :) i guess Mac enthusiasts will have a little idea here "ONE MORE THING"

i forgot to blog..

our dog Xiao Ru is expecting babies :D she showed signs of pregnancy around first week of October.. her tummy part is getting bigger :D

been trying to feel the baby move but i haven't felt it yet hehe

im excited!!! I'm going to be an uncle! hehe since she is my "baby sister" hehe

well, don't blame me for being an only son... :D

and also...

I just made an online photo album here.. feel free to visit it :D

Back to Basics

Just changed the template and now i'm using Blogspot's own template. I guess i like this better than my previous template :)

whew... Finals is over. the First Sem is also over. i'll be graduating in a few months. this is getting pretty scary and exciting.

So what's keeping me busy now that the sem's oveR?
Well.. all i do is just relax. Have downloaded some US series and movies from down under. And yes.. i MISSed a lot!

Already done watching Corpse Bride and it was good. although the copy that i downloaded wasnt that clear but hey i can't complain. The movie was ok. It was a story about a man getting marriend the next day to a woman he doesnt even know. But at the moment they met they got to like each other. But things during their wedding rehearsal didnt end up well and the man ran away and eventually practiced his line and unknowingly inserted the wedding ring to a DEAD person's fingers. Well you'll get the story from here and i dont want to spoil the fun. :D

What was interesting with this movie was that it was the first animated movie using Stop Motion Animation Techniques.. So DUH what is it? Well, this technique uses photos. The puppets movements are shot using a still camera. so this means they change the puppet's posture, action, etc. using a camera. Then they put everything together in a computer and voila you got a movie!

as quoted from Apple.com website

The culmination of a 10-year engagement, “Corpse Bride,” directed by Tim Burton and Mike Johnson, is a revolutionary marriage of stop-motion animation techniques, digital photography and digital movie editing. Shot with Canon digital cameras and edited with Final Cut Pro on Power Mac G5s at Three Mills Studios in London, the film marks the first time stop-motion animation has been shot in digital.

Oh yes.. did I tell you that this was made on MacOS X? hehe

HeartBeats...

It has been a while... missed posting... been only posting lyrics of songs and some interesting "articles"

anyway.. so what's up for me?

all i can say is S-T-R-E-S-S...

I really have no time for myself, well, not entirely.. but all i do when i go online is to just check my mail, then some forums that i frequent.. BNCXE n Philmug.. and that's it.. sometimes i just download songs..

i miss watching the movies.. that last that i've watched so far was The Longest Yard. It was a good movie. I enjoyed it. And i watched it with my thesis group mates! :D

Anyway, I just finished downloading The Corpse Bride but i havent really started watching it. Although i opened it once just to check if the quality was ok. Guess I'll be watching it next friday.. Maybe my ONLY rest day Next week. Coz the week after that.. FINALS!

Studies... Well, so far so good.. although most og my major subjects are on the rocks.. near passing.. My quizzes so far this finals period are ok, except for Genetics and Embryo.. did a big booboos on the first quizzes.

Genetics lab.. a bit stressing... crossing/breeding fruit flies was not an easy job... we have to isolate VIRGIN females... argh already did three crosses but they died.. luckily, the last one that i did was successful. On it's 4th day, there are larvae ! Yippee! Crossing my fingers now... hope it continues..

BioSoc latest project.. Hale Concert... APPROVED!!! NOw... reserving the Med Auditorium....
BioQuartz 2nd release is on the way... just waiting for the articles... :D

It's been 5 months since i switched to Mac! :D And i have no regrets... although one regret is that it really is "expensive" owning one... the range of accessories available are just too hard to resist! hehe Been using the Mighty Mouse for a week now. And so far, i'm loving it, no regrets! Very light! Even lighter than my old "portable" mouse. Recently bought 3M BumpOn. A cheaper alternative of the SpeedBalls.. but i have used it yet..

What can i really say in switching... I think i really made the right decision :) I've been working more effectively. It NEVER crashed.. in 5 straight months! before when i make a powerpoint presentation i would really have to save the work once in every slide coz there is a 70% chance that it will just crash. now, i dont really have to worry about saving my work every now and then as i work through it. Mac never fails to surprise me everyday.. now if only Yahoo would update the YM for Mac..... ;)

Just heard my parents love story ;) will post them on my next update! :D I still have to do my SCL9 project...

You're Beautiful...

heard this song on the radio.. such a nice song... You're Beautiful by James Blunt :)
a very nice song,... indeed... *sigh*

My life is brilliant.
My love is pure.
I saw an angel.
Of that I'm sure.
She smiled at me on the subway.
She was with another man.
But I won't lose no sleep on that,
'Cause I've got a plan.


You're beautiful. You're beautiful.
You're beautiful, it's true.
I saw your face in a crowded place,
And I don't know what to do,
'Cause I'll never be with you.

Yeah, she caught my eye,
As I walked on by
She could see from my face that I was,
fucking high,
And I don't think that I'll see her again,
But we shared a moment that will last till the end.


You're beautiful. You're beautiful.
You're beautiful it's true
I saw your face in a crowded place,
And I don't know what to do,
You're beautiful, You're beautiful.
But it's time to face the truth
I will never be with you

A LESSON IN LETTING GO


By T. D. Jakes


There are people who can walk away from you.
And hear me when I tell you this! When people can
walk away from you: let them walk. I don't want you
to try to talk another person into staying with you,
loving you, calling you, caring about you, coming to
see you, staying attached to you. I mean hang up the
phone. When people can walk away from you let
them walk. Your destiny is never tied to anybody that
left. The bible said that, they came out from us that it
might be made manifest that they were not for us.
For had they been of us, no doubt they would have
continued with us. [1 John 2:19] People leave you
because they are not joined to you. And if they are not
joined to you, you can't make them stay. Let them
go. And it doesn't mean that they are a bad person it
just means that their part in the story is over. And
you've got to know when people's part in your story is
over so that you don't keep trying to raise the dead.
You've got to know when it's dead. You've got to
know when it's over. Let me tell you something. I've
got the gift of good-bye. It's the tenth spiritual gift, I
believe in good-bye. It's not that I'm hateful, it's that
I'm faithful, and I know whatever God means for me
to have He'll give it to me. And if it takes too much
sweat I don't need it. Stop begging people to stay.
Let them go!! If you are holding on to something that
doesn't belong to you and was never intended for
your life, then you need to...... LET IT GO!!! If you are
holding on to past hurts and pains...... LET IT GO!!! If
someone can't treat you right, love you back, and see
your worth..... LET IT GO!!! If someone has angered
you....... LET IT GO!!! If you are holding on to some
thoughts of evil and revenge...... LET IT GO!!! If you
are involved in a wrong relationship or addiction......
LET IT GO!!! If you are holding on to a job that no
longer meets your needs or talents...... LET IT GO!!!
If you have a bad attitude....... LET IT GO!!! If you
keep judging others to make yourself feel better......
LET IT GO!!! If you're stuck in the past and God is
trying to take you to a new level in Him...... LET IT
GO!!! If you are struggling with the healing of a
broken relationship....... LET IT GO!!! If you keep
trying to help someone who won't even try to help
themselves...... LET IT GO!!! If you're feeling
depressed and stressed......... LET IT GO!!! If there
is a particular situation that you are so used to
handling yourself and God is saying "take your hands
off of it," then you need to...... LET IT GO!!! Let the
past be the past. Forget the former things. GOD is
doing a new thing for 2005!!! LET IT GO!!! Get
Right or Get Left think about it, and then.... LET IT
GO!!! "The Battle is the Lord's!"

New look...

changed some things like the banner of my blog, changed the colour too. looks better although i have to do some tweaking, but this will do the meantime :D

What is RSS?

RSS is a family of XML file formats for web syndication used by (amongst other things) news websites and weblogs. The abbreviation is used to refer to the following standards:

* Rich Site Summary (RSS 0.91)
* RDF Site Summary (RSS 0.9 and 1.0)
* Really Simple Syndication (RSS 2.0)

The technology behind RSS allows you to subscribe to websites that have provided RSS feeds, these are typically sites that change or add content regularly. To use this technology you need to set up some type of aggregation service. Think of this aggregation service as your personal mailbox. You then have to subscribe to the sites that you want to get updates on. Unlike typical subscriptions to pulp-based newspapers and magazines, your RSS subscriptions are free, but they typically only give you a line or two of each article or post along with a link to the full article or post.

The RSS formats provide web content or summaries of web content together with links to the full versions of the content, and other meta-data. This information is delivered as an XML file called RSS feed, webfeed, RSS stream, or RSS channel. In addition to facilitating syndication, RSS allows a website's frequent readers to track updates on the site using a news aggregator.

** this was taken from Wikipedia

well, you can subscribe to my blog's RSS feed :D
