Born in the Year of the Dog : Year of the Ox 2009 Forecast and Prediction

Just want to share this article, I saw this link from a friend of mine.. enjoy~

The Dog (1922, 1934, 1946, 1958, 1970, 1982, 1994, 2006) should brace himself for many changes in 2009. These changes which could go to extremes are either good or bad. Then again, having many happy and joyful events can help the Dog avoid the bad and negative events from happening. That is because happy events like having a baby, getting a new house or getting married can offset any mishaps and redirect any negative energy towards the positive direction.

Dogs are also advised to stay on the move or be mobile. By being always on the move and consciously introducing changes to his life, the Dog can turn negative energy into good ones. It would be a good year to pursue plans of working abroad or going overseas, same goes true in renovating the house.

There are two lucky stars shining on the Dog in 2009, these are Hua Gai and Sui Jia. The star Hua Gai represents artistic ability, intelligence and inspiration. This means that Dogs in the creative and design businesses would be more productive as they get lots of inspiration and at the same time enjoy more appreciation and recognition in the year of the Ox. With the star Sui Jia which represents progress and career promotion, the Dog can really look forward to a brighter year with a good chance of getting good career luck and better development.
The stars that the Dog should watch out for are the unlucky stars Jian Feng, Fu Shi, Huang Fan and San Xing. San Xing connotes poor human relationships while Jian Feng means injuries brought about by metal objects. By donating blood or getting the teeth cleaned by the dentist, the Dog can avoid these injuries. He is also advised to attend more joyful occasions as this could further boost his luck. If it is really necessary for the Dog to handle metal objects, he should be careful and he should always wear protection.

Fu Shi is a star that can bring poor communication between family members, this could even lead to arguments. This star can also affect the Dog’s health adversely which can be offset by doing more good deeds. And while the star Sui Jia would be bringing the Dog good career luck, the star Huang Fan would in turn be bringing in immense mental pressure that is associated with the Dog’s success. This can cause the Dog to work harder in order to achieve success. He is also advised to take extra caution and make sure to have enough time to rest, in spite of his busy work schedule.

Truly, the year of the Ox could be here sooner than we expect it to be and it is never really too early to prepare. The Chinese New Year Calendar has so much influence even in the western influenced countries that more people are looking forward to the changing of every year, especially those who are not having a good year at present.

Just want to share pic what I bought from Greenhills...
cute three necklace that I bought from tyange and I really quite had a hard time to find these cute necklace, 'cause there are other stall who sell so expensive -o- and not in the reasonable price, so.. while walking, I saw another stall selling the same kind of necklace and at last I get to find a cheap with the same kind of necklace, and yes these are just fancy necklace 'cause they are cheap, but hey they're cute =D well, this necklace might also serve as one of a christmas gifts for myself =D aside from the BDJ Planner =p and one to come =D i hope I can get to buy it on wednesday =D

Updates + Vacation

For Updates : I got my laptop last Saturday but I get to use it just yesterday 'cause I setup our network connection here at home and I also install some software for my laptop to be protected. Now I can get to update my site and blog every now and then when I get home. Unlike before, I need few minute time to update my site and blog after my work hours and before I go home which I fail to do and having hard time to maintain it. 'Cause I am so busy at work and all I want is to go home and rest. Now I got my laptop and now is the chance to catch up where I left off. As for vacation; Today, is my vacation day 3, but can I call this vacation? 'cause I'm cleaning my room and some trashes XD but I can say I enjoy =D it's not that I don't enjoy my work, it's just that I really need a break or I'll be the one who will break down XD as far as I can say, I am enjoying my vacation, 'cause I get to do what I want to do.

Christmas is just around the corner have you prepare your gifts to your loved ones, relatives and friends, 'cause we only have few days to go.... =)

random rant....

Well, this is just a random updates of my life, and right now I want to write this blog because certain people really so immature. Why there are some people saying they are mature but they act immature? By cannot face the fact by themselves. This really pissed me and I really hate these kind of people. Imagine, older than you and claiming that they know more or a lot than you. The worst part is that, he/she is nearly getting married, but still he/she still stay the same "what an" attitude that annoy people. I really wonder, how his/her partner treat, tolerate, or even endure this kind of attitude. And his/her attitude really annoy and affect a lot of people. Some other people told me that "let him/her be." "let he/she do what she want" "bahala siya" etc. I said "he/she will not change! because you always let him/her do what she want. this kind of person cannot change unless he/she get to collide with someone who has the same attitude as hers or who can fight back, like me or it can be other people." I know, some of you will say that, you are just digging your own grave or looking for a problem or naghahanap ng sakit ng ulo. but this kind of people should not be tolerated, 'cause they won't learn. If they won't learn anything or something by the time we collide... well, all I can say is "good luck to him/her, that when then day comes and she get to taste her own poison, she is strong enough to take it or accept it. 'Cause I can say, there are people out there who are a lot meaner than me and worst than my attitude who fight back of what he/she had done.

What is your wishlist?

Christmas is now just around the corner, let's share wishlist...

Well, my wishlist for Christmas are :

1. Hellolulu Canvas lapotop tote - this product line features cotton canvas construction with weather resistant treatment (a.k.a. water proof_ =D

2. Nikon D90


3. Ipod nano chromatic 16GB


Why these 3? As for the Hellolulu Canvas laptop tote, is for my extra bag if ever I will wash my timbuk2 laptop bag. For Nikon D90, at last, because of my friend, I found my passion, the thing I love most to do that I had almost forgotten, is taking pictures. I will invest this camera for my future. Ipod nano chromatic, a music player on the go, 'cause right now I am using my bf's mp3.

I just hope that my wish will come true =p kahit isa sa tatlo =p

What are you wishlist for this Christmas?

World is so small isn't it? a.k.a. Small world

Been experiencing this, these past few months of this year, you never really expect that a person who become your friend is also a friend of your friend, a relative of your friend, a friend of your relative, a classmate of the person you know or a classmate of your relatives. And this happen a lot of times to me and I find it funny and always say "World is so small"

1. was my bf brother is my sister highschool classmate;
2. my bf brother is a friend of my friend;
3. the wife of my bf bro is the former classmate of a friend of mine;
4. my bf's cousin, kinda know my friend on their school, since my friend is 4 years higher batch.
6. the daughter of my fathers' friend, who became my sister god father on her wedding, was the former classmate of a friend of mine too;
6. is that my sister fiancee's cousin was my former co-worker

Thinking of this experience just makes me smile and I can say it's really a such a small world, who could be next? so how about you?

Will you cosplay next year? What new character will you cosplay?

These are the questions I get from some of my few friends, well my answer is "I'm sure on one event only, and that will be the OzineFest '09, but I'm not sure on the other events. But I will still attend the other events even I will not cosplay" What Character will I cosplay? I'm not going to Cosplay new character *sad but true* 'cause I have to budget my money on my other goals and that affect my future goal. And some of my friend already know what it is, if you are reading this.

If got some extra cash, I might cosplay again on 2010, yes it's so far but have to plan, 'cause I plan to cosplay a character and the costume is hard to make. So see you on the other a future events :)

Thank you.... from Rider

Hi... really sorry for very late post of thank you letter... due to hectic schedule and heavy load from my work... but as they say, 'better late than never', right... I just hope for those people who read this, they'll also appreciate it :)

My thank you :
First of all, I would like to thank you Mang Carding, my costume maker, who help me till the end. without him, my costume might not finish on time. To my photographer friend, Marc, Robin, Paul, and other photographer that Robin called XD To Jaz, who was also there, even for just a little while in visiting and accompanying me for a little while. To my bestfriend Garry who help me maintain my wig and stuffs. To hot mama Gaylee Gayle, who even just drop by in the event. And of course, last but not the least, to the special someone on my heart, my sweet angel, who accompany me from the very first till the very end of the event and also who assist me in my costime and my wig XD~ . And as for my courage, I would like to thank Marc, Robin, Garry, Jaz, Garry and my sweet angel. It's a big thing for me, for those people who visit me or just drop by for few hours, and I really appreciate it and would never forget it. Even so, I can still feel their support. As for the award, I would also like to thank the judges for choosing me as the Otakuzine Pick, I really didn't expect it. This also add up my happiness. And to the audience, I hope I had given joy to you.


My thank you :
Cosplay Mania, is the second time that I join Cosplay again. I got to see Mang Carding again and got to have picture with him. He told me "Swerte naman ang ginawan ko, dami gusto magpapicture sayo" "Swerte ako! Dahil sayo ako nagpagawa at dahil hindi niyo po ako pinabayaan" I replied and we're both happy on each other, me being his client and he being my costume maker. My friend photographer Marc, Robin, Paul was also there to take some shots of me, and of course with the other cosplayers XD~ with my surprise I didn't know that my bestbud did go also together with Chardy and his wife sistah Avic! *miss you* and also ahia Art for being there visit me too (^^,)v and also my bestfriend Garry. Of course my sweet angel there to accompany me from the very beginning till the end of the event. I was really happy when ahia art told me that I have tarp hanging in the event and I really didn't expect that I will got in the top 30. 'Cause first, I pass and register my photo quite late already and getting in the top 30 Animax Maximum Cosplay Photo Resume Contest did give me challenge because there are a lot of people who register for the Animax contest. when I register for the photo contest, I think I was in 1k+ contestant and I can also say that there are a lot of promising cosplayers who register, and I mean A LOT XD~ Aside from that, getting in the Top 2 for the Animax Maximum Cosplay Photo Resume Contest give me a real shock and an additional big happiness to me that day *kulang na lang ma-tears of joy ako XD* Even not in the top 3 of the Cosplay Mania award is okay with me, because there are a lot of promising cosplayer in 150 contestant. But! getting in the Top 2 of Animax Maximum Cosplay Photo Resume Contest is also one of the big thing for me. It gave me big impact for people to appreciate me Cosplaying Rider of Fate/Stay Night, and I am very thankful to that.

For those who voted me on the Animax Maximum Cosplay Photo Resume Contest, "THANK YOU VERY VERY MUCH" without your votes, I will not be standing on that stage... Thank you very much....

CosplayMania 2008

Another cosplay convention I attended. The experience was great, I get to meet new cosplayer, though not their real names. Venue was quite small for this kind of event, at first there was no cosplayers area like in the AniCon, so I change my costume at the restroom. Then few hours later, the host announce that there will be a cosplayers area and I said "Buti naman meron" but then I couldn't find it at first due to over crowd people in the area. And then me and my boyfriend first saw the Baggage area XD instead of the cosplayers area, then we left few of our baggage since we got 5, then afterwards we look for the cosplayers area and glad we found it and have a seat. Cosplay catwalk is about to start at 4pm so all cosplayers were called to their notice. While waiting in the cosplayers area we cosplayers got really toasted at the area due to over crowd cosplayers. The catwalk stage was big enough for catwalk naman. Except yung sa pagakyat kasi nakaslant yun eh TT_TT and it give me a very hard time to go up and down the stage kasi nadudulas ako *:o* glad there are volunteer and marshals to help me XD As for the venue, it was over crowd for the people who visit there, kasi ang hirap maglakad lakad dahil sa sobrang sikip. I saw other cosplayer outside the Hall due to over crowd people inside the hall. That's why I only stay at one location inside the hall, which is near the Cosplay work shop =p

It was early that I changed clothes, because I was kinda tired maybe because of the event also, sikip kasi XD

anyhow, few days before this event, I was praying and hoping that I will catch up and get in the 30 contestant for the Animax Maximum Cosplay Photo Resume Contest kasi super delay na ako nagpass ng picture ko, kasi sa AniCon lang ako nagkaroon ng picture ng cosplay ko XD and that was Oct 7 *I think* During the event, at first I didn't saw my tarp so I told myself "better luck next time" then my friend told me "ey! saw you on a tarp" then I said "wow~ really?! where?!" Then he point where my tarp was hang, I was so happy because I got in, 'cause there are a lot of people who post in the Resume Contest and I got in the 30 =) 'cause there are a lot of promising cosplayers who post for the Photo Resume Contest also. When it was awarding time for the Animax Maximum Cosoplay Photo Resume Contest, ganda ng pagkakataon kasi I was just standing across the stage. As they are announcing nanonood lang ako while looking at the cute hats that the booth is selling. When they said, 2nd place goes to Resume #21, nagulat ako, I didn't expect it and syempre masaya din, sabi pa nga ng girl host, "kita ko siya kanina, asan na siya?" sabi naman ng guy host "Resume #21, where are you?" tawa nga ako habang naglalakad ako papunta sa stage. and it made me really happy na napili ako sa top 3 =) and I really want to thank all the people who vote me, dahil sa vote niyo nakapasok ako sa top 3, "maraming maraming salamat po. Thank you very very much" As the event end, it was kinda late na rin na nakuha ko tarp ko kasi tagal nila kuya T_T inaasar pa nga ako eh XD ihuli na daw ung akin... bad nila noh? XD pero still thanks.

AniCon 2008

AniCon 2008, after 5 years... I attend this kind of convention again and also I didn't expect that I will cosplay again :p Before I told myself that I'm already 25, getting old already and must be mature but guess what cosplay prove me wrong and tell me that anyone can cosplay as long as you want too. For me, masasabi kong successful ang cosplay na ito kasi portray ko yung anime character na gusto ko. And I am also happy that the audience like it. Natuwa din ako kasi napasa ko rin ang mga audience. I didn't expect that I won on the special award as the Otakuzine Pick. And this give me a confidence to cosplay again. Hmm.. sino na kaya ang next character na cosplay ko?
I would like to thank you all the people who support me in this event, for Mang Carding as my weapon and costume maker through the last minute, hindi niya ako pinabayaan. The wig that I got from Manequinne Inc. To the photographers Marc Angelo Sy and Robinson Ang. And also to my bestfriend Garry for keeping me company from time to time and help me with my hair XD and also last but not the least to by very sweet sweet angel of my life, let's call him sweetangel :p I would like to thank him for keeping me company and help me all the time. With out you guys I don't know what will happen to me.

As for the event, the venue is quite small because there are a lot of PC's there for sameple gaming and 79 invidual cosplayer and 3 group cosplayers. And there are a lot of promising cosplayers I can say. Stage is quite small but I'm not complaining, because the event is AniCon not concentrate on anime only, it also includes gaming consoles. Pictures will be uploaded as soon I got the complete collection from those two photographers of mine :) Will there be a next AniCon? I wonder.... :)

P.S.
I would also like to thank you sa award na nakuha ko as Otakuzine Pick, I really didn't expect it that I will get recognize :) syempre, happy din ako =D

Batang Yagit for the Win!

My votes for the Bloggers' Choice Award for the 2008 Philippine Blog Awards goes to Batang Yagit. I don't know Batang Yagit in person, but I know he deserves this award because my best online buddy Jehzeel said so.

Are you Korean? or Japanese?

These are always the question, when people ask me. Even when the first time they see me, they always wonder if I am a Korean or Japanese. At first, I really never get used to it but as years past, I started getting used to it, maybe because of my hairstyle? or the look?. But I always never get used to it when people stare me for quite long because it makes me think that a) Did I dress something wrong? b) Is there any problem with my hair? or c) Do I have something on my face.

Well, asking me if I am a Korean or Japanese now makes me flattering, becaue I'm just a plain pure Chinese girl, who was born here in the Philippines yet other people look me as foreigner. The cons are just my problem, specially when I will go to tyangge, or divisoria to buy something cheap, when they look at me and think I'm a foreigner they will call the price higher and they thought I don't know /pif, and that is really bad XD~ that's why sometimes I always wear a cap if I will go to tyangge so the cap might help me cover my face =p

difference between anger and hate

This is what I found in the internet, what is the meaning and difference between anger and hate. Anger is a strong feeling of displeasure and belligerence aroused and Hate is intense dislike. which are you? anger, hate or none?

another Sanuk sandals here, but this is for mens. This sandal is call Draggin' and it's the new , recently release

A sunny day

today was a fine day, it didn't even rain and that's a good news =) well, as for work, still busy as a bee and time really flies so fast when you love what your working and also when you're really busy and didn't even notice the time =p

This was the picture I've taken this morning


And this was the picture taken this afternoon


It's really nice to see a clear sky like this and the feeling, I feel so relax. How about you guys?

While on the other side, got this new sandals for me =D On the other side, got this new sandals for me, this sandals brand called Sanuk, ever heard of it? Sanuk store is open at Robinson Ermita, on the middle of the midtown area (forgot the floor), Glorietta, Mall of Asia. This shoe model called Scribble (for women) there's also Scribble (for men)

"These are not shoes, they're sandals" this is what they say and yes! it really is a sandals and not shoes.


want it? Hurry! visit Sanuk store nearest you! :) There are also other kinds of Sanuk sandals that you can choose :)

low pressure? darn?!

these past few days it always rain so hard, it started 5pm onwards then will flood all the manila area and it's very hard to go home. I heard on the new that Philippines is experiencing low pressure and will expect rain shower and thunderstorm. Today, it didn't rain hard and I'm glad because I'm working outside as of the moment while updating my blog since I quite lost track here. Sorry guys, for those who are keeping track of my blog. I really appreciate for those people who are dropping by my blog.

Also, two days ago, it's so "darn" this is all I can say what I'm feeling until right now. Because of all the people I have, I have those who are back stabber. Those who can do things behind your back, and I really don't understand why they do that and what they earn on that? And it's so ashamed because they are older than me and what they can only do was that? why don't they want to confront me? sa tagalog kasi "lokohan na makitungo sa mga tanong ganyan" and other people will say "hindi na pinapansin yung mga taong ganyan" and yes, it's right. But what if you see them everyday? Seeing them already make me sick even I don't talk to them and what's more worse is that they do something like that behind my back. I want to confront them but due to the age @_@ I cannot just in the form of respect. I told my bf "Seems like 'respect' is in not their dictionary" at kung walang ganyan sa dictionary nila, well might as well bastusan na.

Well, rant out ko lang ito XD~ I just hope you (people out there) don't experience something same like what I'm experiencing right now. Nakakabanas un eh @_@ Well, guys I just hope you have a nice weekend okay? Happy weekend ^^,v
