I love taking photos of every new stuff I see and I crave exploring different places to try different dishes that my taste buds would love (or hate!). So as October ends, here are some of the food that I get to munch with a tiny bit of description and review, too! Enjoy! :)<br />

Mary Grace Cafe specializes on just breads and desserts, before they've decided to add meals on their menu. But aside from their famous ensaymada and cheese rolls, this one here is something you shouldn't miss. I am not a fan of brownies, but this one changed my mind! One of the best brownies I've tasted so far. The moist chocolate brownie is so good topped with a crusty finish! A combination of crispiness and softness in one bite! Even without the nuts! Worth the try!</div>

Cibo is known for its best tasting pasta and dips, and this is included in the list. The pasta sauce is made up of shrimps, chives, stewed tomato, cream and chili peppers. That's it! The ingredients complement each other very well as you get to taste every bit as you eat. I love how the sauce is a bit spicy because of the chili pepper. Shrimp + Chili is always a good idea. Truly, a shrimp lover's delight. :)</div>

I have heard of mushroom burger, mushroom sauce, mushroom steak, but not mushroom chicharon. Aside from its crunch and appearance, it is way healthier than your regular chicharon. It may be fried, yes, but looking at the bright side, think of it as a vegetable to lessen your guilt on a cheat day. It tastes so good and it doesn't feel so oily at all. Calling all vegetarians and non-vegetarians out there, another dish to add to your favorites!</div>

The best bingsu in town! I am not a chocolate (flavor) lover but because of this kind of desserts, I think I'm gonna change my taste sooner than expected! As they've instructed, to better enjoy the experience, DO NOT MIX. True enough, it turned out really yummy! The whipped cream, brownies, nuts and even the surprise Koko Krunch type of thing inside this pile are perfect. Down to the last drop.. or snow ice! Not too sweet, nor bitter in taste. Their regular size is good for sharing, unless you're too hungry to care! :)</div>

<span style="text-align: left;">Salted Caramel is becoming one of the most in demand flavors of desserts nowadays. Cakes, chocolates, ice creams and frappes, everything seems to have a salted caramel version. Though I totally agree that a salted caramel flavored ice cream, especially by Carmen's best is definitely a hit! It's a bit pricey but worth a shot! Side effects: Possible addiction. :)</span></div>

You might notice that you can see La Lola more often, everywhere, nowadays. It's because their famous churros is making a name in town. Even the classic one can already make you say 'wow'! Plus the chocolate dip! They have different flavors of churros and different dips, too. Whatever suits your taste. :) Their churros are freshly made and it is very evident 'coz it will be served hot. Crunchy on the outside, soft in the inside! They have big serving, too! Their smallest size, which is the medium, has 6 big churros in it. Just right for the hungry! </div>

It is my first time to stay in Costa Coffee and since I don't want to get the usual chocolate drink, I've tried their newest flavor. It's a strawberry frappe with tiny marshmallows on top which are crunchy and sweet. The drink is not sweet at all which makes the mallows serve as the added sweetener. I liked it because it's not too sweet and the drink is not too thick, so its not so heavy to drink. Nothing fancy but if you want to go out of your usual menu, try this!<br />

Tapa King is one of the best choices if you want to have a delicious tapa meal for an affordable price. I am not quite hungry for a tapa meal so I tried their burger. For a price of 60 pesos, this burger is not bad at all. Aside from the beef patty, it already has tomatoes, cucumber, and cheese! It even tastes something that you can make in your home. Doesn't feel artificial at all. If you're craving for a burger but tired of those on fastfood chains, try this one! Satisfying! :)</div>

I've been seeing friends posting about this salted egg potato chips, and I am lucky to get a hand on this. Actually, there are a lot of brands for this one but I get to try this particular chips by Anika's. It is salty (of course), but really, it tasted like salted eggs! If you love salty foods, then you'll definitely love this! You just have to keep a glass of water handy while eating this because, SALT. </div>

Yes, you read it right, this is a cuisine made by my mom. She is so good at cooking, we can't commit to our diet plans whenever we're home! This one is a new dish, made up of chicken, bacon, broccoli and Parmesan cheese! No bias at all but this is delish! I know it's a bit unfair because you don't get to buy or try this one but with the simple ingredients, I am sure you can make this at home! :)</div>

Do horror movies freak you out?</div>

Is the idea of having an open third eye scares you?</div>

Do you believe in ghosts, and other supernatural beings?</div>

My answer to all of these would be a big YES. I rarely watch horror movies because I can't bear the thought of just sitting in the moviehouse, helpless, while the goal of the movie is to make you scream and almost die with fear!</div>

Most of us, if not everyone, could relate on the questions and scenario above. While some may be brave, and others seem to be fearful in a sense, (and I honestly admit that I belong to the latter group), we have our own beliefs. Maybe we are scared because of past experiences, wild imagination, hearsays from other people, or maybe, just maybe, <b>a lack of faith.</b><br /><b></b></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; font-size: 17px; text-decoration: -webkit-letterpress;">

<div style="color: #454545; font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; font-size: 17px; text-decoration: -webkit-letterpress;">
Someone once asked me, why am I so frightened of horror movies? Why am I afraid of ghosts, dead people, 'aswangs' and the like. I answered promptly, because I am afraid I might dream of them, or see them on random places or they might harm me. And she said, 'don't you believe that our God is more powerful than any scary creatures here on earth?'. I don't understand her that time, but now I do.<br />
<br />
<i>Faith, as defined by Webster, is a strong belief in the existence of God.</i></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; font-size: 17px; text-decoration: -webkit-letterpress;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; font-size: 17px; text-decoration: -webkit-letterpress;">
Nobody, and nothing could ever hurt us, or scare us, if we have this unbreakable faith to God. If we have the time to be scared or be fearful of the unknown and unseen, then we are giving them the power to rule over our minds and bodies. If the energy wasted on this scary things would be shifted to believing our God, it can help us be more courageous and be at peace. </div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; font-size: 17px; text-decoration: -webkit-letterpress;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; font-size: 17px; text-decoration: -webkit-letterpress;">
<br />If you feel the same way as I do, now is the time to check on our faith. Do we really have faith on our God? Or are we saying this because we think that praying, going to church every Sunday or talking about Him to others already denotes a strong faith? If we really have faith, why can't we trust Him that He is always with us? That He can protect us from anything? Approaching the long weekend, this is our time to reflect.</div>

Our God is bigger than anything in this world, and if He is with us, no one could ever harm us. Trust that thinking. Trust Him. 🙏🏻</div>

<br />
For 25 years, my whole world literally revolved around the town where I grew up. Family, friends, school, work, hobbies etc. Everything I needed is right on my fingertips. I felt complete, stable and satisfied. Until that one day that I need to move away from home. I had so many questions on my mind. How can I survive? Who will help me there? What will I do in case of emergency or something? Where will I go for help? Can I make it? I am so scared and I have no idea on how to live outside my world.<br />
<br />
Everything is scary in the beginning, well I guess even in the middle. But when you had a peek of what is something new for you, when everything is said and done, all you have are lessons, experiences and a whole new bunch of knowledge for another chapter of your life.<br />
<br />

<br /></div>
So to share with you the things (realizations) I learned from living away from my home, read more. 😉<br />
<br />
1. <b>I begin to make new friends (or acquaintances).</b><br />
<br />
"No man is an island", as a saying goes. No matter where you go, always prepare that smile! I've met a lot of people while away, some stayed as acquaintances and others became my true friends. Even if you think you can live your life well alone, think again. They are the people who can help you when your family and old friends can't be there for you. Friends are one of the reasons why the world is a better place and your life, a little brighter, even at your darkest times.<br />
<br />
2. <b>I learned how to be more positive and stronger.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
I am a small girl thrown into this unfamiliar place. A far place that I've never had traveled my whole life. And now I need to stay in it for quite some time. All I want to do is break down and cry (actually, that's what I've done in my first few months). Until I realized that no one can help me but myself. Of course, with the support of my family and friends, I got passed through it. Thank God! That's when I decided to be strong, little by little, I felt a change in who I am the first time I stepped on that place.<br />
<br />
3<b>.I learned how to work around the house.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
It is important that you know the basics. This line is not just applicable to sports but to life as well. There was a time that I was locked in my room and my phone was already in my car. I am so helpless! Good thing, my dad taught me how to change a doorknob. That was my lifesaver! Literally speaking, a basic knowledge on some things is very essential. Especially when you are all by yourself. You should know how to change a busted bulb, how to fix a clogged toilet, how to cook, the list goes on. The point here is, you are now independent. So you better start reading, talk with people and start being curious on the things around you.<br />
<b><br /></b>
4<b>. I realized there will be no place like home. Ever.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
Being far away from home made me realize how important my family is for me. I admit that a lot of times, I took them for granted not knowing what purpose they have in my life. When I became independent, a lot of times I wished that I am at home. Where the meals for the entire day were carefully prepared by my mom, the maid would take care of my laundry, my siblings are there where I can easily ask them to hang out wherever. When I was alone, I realized all these simple but big blessings that I have. So while time permits, and you still have them, family, loved ones and friends, treasure them. Value them. Because it is true that you don't know the value of a person until he/she is gone.<br />
<br />
5. <b>I started saving and investing on my future.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
While it's not easy to be all alone, it is much more difficult to manage your finances. Being on my own, I need to budget my money in order for me to have something to spend and something to save. Before, I would easily splurge on things, but when I got a taste of how important money is, many questions boggled my mind before purchasing a luxury. I have also took into consideration the investments I need to make to have a secured life.<br />
<br />
6. <b>I realized that I have changed.. a LOT.</b><br />
<br />
I am no longer the awkward and scared girl I once was the first time I took a step on this place. In every chapter of our lives, there will always be lessons and challenges. I have grown to be a woman that I could proudly say, a lot closer to the woman I aspired to be. From the immature, cry baby I was before, to an independent and more equipped lady today, I could say, I love the change I had. The change that I could never undergo, just by merely staying in my comfort zone.<br />
<br />
<br />
7.<b> I learned how to enjoy every bit of being independent.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
It's scared to be all on your own, but I get to realize that nothing lasts forever. And this situation is no exemption. Being independent may have its scary consequences but it also has a lot to offer. I have learned so many things, lived a life I never had imagined, traveled to places I thought I could never reach, met people I had no connection with. I learned how to love the freedom that was given. I took photos, memories, love and experiences. As they say, enjoy it while it lasts. and I am glad I did. :)<br />

Never be afraid to be on your own. If given a chance or opportunity, take it! A lot of experiences, lessons, memories and learning await you. After all, you might find something you are looking for all your life... outside your little box. :)<br />

"Happiness is.. having a unique name." :)</blockquote>
<br />
Our names are one of the few things that we can call ours. It somehow defines us, and helps us be known in this world full of different people. To have a name is to have an identity. An identity that no one could ever duplicate.<br />
<br />
I am born having, I can say, a very unique name. My full name is Jane Vashner L. Bayot. As far as I can remember, people would often find my second name "Vashner" cute, weird, different and unique. Some even thought that I am of different nationality. What a lovely compliment! Maybe I look like a foreigner? haha. Kidding! In our family, me and my siblings have "Vashner" as our second names, regardless of our gender. So whenever we are walking and friends will call us "Vashner", we will all look on their direction! Funny, but just too cute! :)<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZL7RfrN4CpH-rI4Cdhptyf_iZgP_4nWqt0bvbT30Md6Wom8fhvnaW19yBhJdct2wORVosKBNfx2V0BxLhCA2f33xnfa016l9qmUMM-reB4ftoZ18g_xV0rGoi35JmWLl2hCo0oIPrcO8/s1600/vashner.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="70" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZL7RfrN4CpH-rI4Cdhptyf_iZgP_4nWqt0bvbT30Md6Wom8fhvnaW19yBhJdct2wORVosKBNfx2V0BxLhCA2f33xnfa016l9qmUMM-reB4ftoZ18g_xV0rGoi35JmWLl2hCo0oIPrcO8/s320/vashner.png" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
So for today, I would like to share the story behind our controversial second name. My beloved parents were the ones responsible for it. No influence of anybody. They said that "Vashner" was derived from their nicknames. My Dad's nickname is Vher while my mom's is San. I don't know if it's a joke but they said they put all the letters of their nicknames in a jar and when they poured the contents on a table, it formed the word "Vashner". And that's it! Amazing! hahaha.<br />
<br />
Behind every name is a story to tell; short or long, funny or historical. No matter how common you think your name is, there is always a reason on why it was given to you. Our name is our brand. At first it might be small, unnoticed or even unknown, but as we go out and face the world, we are given the chance to make it big! We are in control on how people will perceive us. On how people will remember our names. On how people will say our names to others.<br />
<br />
We only have one name, own it. Love it. Live with it. :)<br />
<br />
And that's the story of my name. How about yours? :)<br />
<br />

Our hair will always be our crowning glory. Curly, straight, thin, thick, blonde, brunette, natural, treated, short, long, healthy or damaged, we all have our own distinction and personality because of our locks.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Since I got my black, straight hair permed and colored, I have always been known as the 'Goldilocks' girl. Literally because of my long, golden and curly locks. I have always felt very satisfied with it and I always get compliments on how it suits me very well. For 4 years, I kept my long locks and never thought of having to change it any sooner. And for those who know me real well, I have always invested on my hair. I have always believed that having a hair that you love is a big factor on how you can be more confident with yourself. </div>

One morning, while staring at the mirror, I realized that my hair was not that healthy and lively anymore. And my curls were getting curly-straight, you know what I mean. So I have thought of retouching my curls since I am not yet done with me being a curly lass.<br />

For a change, and as highly recommended by my friend, I went to Jing Monis Salon (located at Bellevue Hotel, Alabang, Makati, Greenbelt 1 and QC) at their Greenbelt 1 branch and searched for Rigel (the stylist of my friend). I asked for treatment that would make my dry and dull hair come to life again. Instead, he suggested a medium bob with soft layers for according to him, I look so old with my long, lifeless hair on. Uggh. It took me a while before I answered back. Because what? Seriously? You are going to cut my hair? The hair that made people turn their heads for that second or even third look! Hahaha. Kidding! Well, I felt so depressed that time and I even called my mom to ask for her opinion but the call was of no help because she loves my hair and she was so opposed on the idea of getting it cut! But then, okay, since Duterte is our President (connection please?), I have traveled this far and it was my birth month and cutting your hair was legit for that reason (I know I have a lot of justification), I might give it a shot.

Rigel even recommended toning down the color of my hair for a darker hair color will suit my skin tone well. You see, I have the skin tone of an Asian, yellowish, above morena color. I have already put my trust on this stylist's hands and prayed real hard that I won't regret this major decision of my life. Anyway, if things might not go the way I want it to be, I just have to be patient in growing my hair long again. So while on the process, I get to look around their salon. It has crisp, white walls with very minimal decor. Their staff were very friendly and they kept on encouraging me that this will turn out good. I am wishing that, too. They also offer different services, of course, same with the other high-end salons out there. While on the chair, Tim Yap (famous fashion icon and host) entered the salon. Seemed like he was a regular customer. They told me that celebrities visit their salon every now and then for makeovers.</div>

Tadaaa! The finished product! Not bad, right? Well I really liked how it made me look so much younger and my locks a lot healthier! Love the hair color too! I'm glad I've been brave enough to take the risk! Though it doesn't look that way now for I am having a love-hate relationship with the blow dryer. 😅 For those who are interested, prices vary depending on your hairstylist. As for Rigel, the haircut costed 750 pesos. I forgot to take a photo with him. Maybe next time. 😁 Hair color for the length of my hair now was 2500 pesos and an additional hair manicure for shine costed 1500 pesos. A bit expensive, yes, but definitely worth it! Jing Monis Salon will surely be a part of my special list of most trusted salons for my hair. I am planning to live with this hairstyle a little bit longer, but who knows? For now, thank you, Jing Monis Salon! Thank you, Rigel! 😊</div>

(Cos I am back) 😉So hello there. I'm back with my first love. It's been a while, 3 years to be exact.<br />
<br />
I never really know what to write or share with you guys. I'm a bit confused if I am running out of ideas or my brain is overflowing with them that I can't choose on what to put here.<br />
<br />
But let me just start by saying, so many things have changed.<br />
My hair<br />
My age<br />
My choice of clothes<br />
My mobile number<br />
My kikay kit<br />
My friends<br />
My work<br />
And so on and so forth..<br />
<br />
But aside from those physical and obvious changes that I have went through, there are also changes that happened in a glimpse that it is just now that I realized them.<br />
<br />
My points of view<br />
My beliefs<br />
My opinion<br />
My priorities<br />
My emotional management<br />
My heart<br />
<br />
The list is quite endless for we all know, and here I am repeating it.. (Say it with me)<br />
"Change is the only constant thing in this world" (yeah right).<br />
<br />
I wouldn't bore you with the news of all the changes that is happening in and out of the country for I assumed you are all updated with every bits of information there is to know. 😁 And there are more reliable sources that you can rely on to for accurate reports and news.<br />
<br />
Well, this article is really just about me coming back. (Quite obvious 😁) And I really do hope I can commit on this, this time around.<br />
<br />
So sit back and relax, enjoy the ride. In my world. In my castle. 💋<br />
<br />

Excel Paris Matte Lip Cream is the newest brand of lip cream that last for as long as 24 hours. It comes in two(2) different series: old and new. It comes in different shades, from pinks, to red, to browns and oranges.<br />

I've bought almost all of the shades and tried it. And I'm satisfied with the result! My mom and my sister also tried it and they are also happy with the result. At first, it is quite a different feel because I'm not really used on wearing lipsticks and this is so new to me. But it surpasses all my expectation for a lip cream. But as a product, it also has its pros and cons.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Pros:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Colorful shades- This line of lip creams have so many shades to choose from. 24 shades to be exact. You can choose any shade you want depending on your mood and attire. :)</li>
<li>Long lasting - This lip cream really lasts for 24 hours! You can wear it on any occasion without worrying of the need in reapplication.</li>
<li>Cheap - This lip cream costs only 50-80 pesos. And may cost less when you buy it by box or in bulk.</li>
<li>Stain Proof - It doesn't stain your skin, or your clothes. And it dries up easily! So no need to worry about the stains. :)</li>
<li>Cute Packaging - It has a very distinct container that can easily stand out and fits in your kikay kit. </li>
<li>Easy application - It has an applicator that you can easily control and glide into your lips.</li>
<li>No weird taste and smell - It explains everything. :)</li>
</ul>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Cons:</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>Picky colors - Not all shades fit every lady. It depends on one's lips and skin color. And some shades tend to be so loud.</li>
<li>Hard to remove - At first, it took me forever to remove it. My lips even looked swollen after attempts of removing it. But I discovered that you need to put lip balm over the lip cream then remove it with a tissue paper. Try it!</li>
<li>Looks dry - Of course its matte! but then, with wrong application, it may look like poster paint all over your lips. Not suitable for dry, flaky lips. Keep lips moisturized and hydrated before application.</li>
<li>Unknown contents - There is no list of ingredients or contents written on the tube. So you really don't know what it is made of.</li>
</ul>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div>
The pros and cons are listed and it is now up to you to try. But if you'll ask me, give this lip cream a chance and you might find your perfect lipmate! Just what happened with me.If you're afraid of its contents, you may want to avoid using it almost everyday. Anyway, all that is too much is harmful :) But weighing the pros and cons, I rate this lip cream 4 out of 5 stars!</div>

25 years of survival.<br />
25 years of existence.<br />
<br />
Silver birthday! I'm on the 1/4 of my life's journey. (If i'll reach 100. :D )<br />
Candles, Sumptuous meals, family, friends, church, cakes and gifts will always be a part of this special celebration. A birthday is a special mark for a person because it shows that you've survived another year. Celebrating birthdays is already a tradition for almost all people (except those with other religious views), a moment of joy shared with families, friends and loved ones. As for me, I chose to celebrate my birthday by going to church to thank God for all the blessings, may it be in a form of challenges, pain or opportunities. Then be with the people who brought me here on earth, families and loved ones in a simple family gathering.<br />
<br />
Of course, each of our birthdays has its origin. The date of our actual birth.<br />
Here are some facts about me:<br />
- I was born on June 22, 1988, making me a Dragon Lady ;)<br />
-I was delivered via normal vaginal delivery at exactly 7:30 pm.<br />
-I was born at the Medical City, Mandaluyong Metro Manila<br />
-My parents told me that my name is Jane because I was born on June. haha. nice! they don't need to search too far for a name. :)<br />
-I weighed 2.65 kgs. upon delivery :) (see? i'm not that heavy. :P)<br />
<br />
This post might be a little late for my real birthday but i know it will never be too late for me to thank everyone that became a part of my 25 years here on earth, may they still be existing in my world today or not. :)<br />
<br />
To<i> God</i>, thank you! You know what I feel and what I need. What I desire and what I'm going through. Thank you for all the blessings. I will always love you.<br />
<br />
To my <i>family</i>, <i>relatives</i>, especially my <i>parents</i>, thank you so much for everything. For bringing me here on earth and letting me see the world. For patiently teaching me everything and for never leaving my side. For always being patient and for loving me when I''m not so lovable. And to my <i>siblings</i>, thank you for always being there. Through good times, down and gloomy moments, thank you. We may have small arguments but my love for you will never fade.<br />
<br />
To my<i> friends</i>, <i>colleagues</i>, and <i>co-workers</i>, thank you for all the greetings! For never forgetting our friendship even if we are miles apart. Thank you for making me laugh during unbearable times, for always listening to my endless stories and for always being a constant companion in any situation.<br />
<br />
To my <i>mentors</i>, <i>supervisors</i> and<i> leaders</i>, thank you for remembering me! For teaching me everything i need to know about the world from the books and on the job training.<br />
<br />
To my <i>acquaintances, schoolmates</i> and <i>batchmates</i>, thank you! Your greetings will always remind me of your presence in my life.<br />
<br />
To everyone who didn't make it to my present, still, thank you! For all the memories and lessons you've taught me. Because of you I've grown stronger and more appreciative of all the other things I have in my life. Thank you for being a part of my life and for being a part of who I am today.<br />
<br />
To my <i>love</i>, thank you for everything! For coming in my life not when my life is so miserable but by coming just in time when I''m slowly putting my world together. Thank you for always listening and for tolerating all my shallow and stupid actions and attitude. I love you always.<br />
<br />
To <i>everyone</i> concerned or not, thank you thank you! it is very overwhelming to know that I passed by your mind, and you took up just a little of your time to greet me. Thank you! :)<br />
<br />
This post is a thank you note for everyone. I may not be able to mention all of you one by one but you know in your hearts and in your minds that I am very grateful to have you all in my life. May we have more years together and more birthdays to celebrate with all of you. Cheers! :)<br />
<br />
*Birthday photos and outfit will be posted soon. :)<br />

It was said that this is to honor JUNO, the Roman god of marriage. June brides were said to be the luckiest, prettiest and will have a happily ever after. Nice thought right? But before the wedding day, there will be so many things that you need to think of as a couple. The church, guests, venue, food, the list is endless! But what I would like to suggest to every couple out there are some of the modern wedding songs that will add a romantic vibe in their wedding and fill the air with overflowing love that only music can express.<br />

I listen and search for songs appropriate for my feelings at the moment or on what I am going through. I love dancing to upbeat songs and sometimes cries to heart breaking music. :( I look into the lyrics of each song and see if it fits my emotions and views. But what catches me the most is the title of the song, because just like any book, there is a story behind every title. I've been listening to love songs nowadays, and I've been putting myself into it. It feels like the music searches my very soul. So I am letting you know my top 5 songs playing endlessly in my Ipod. Comes with it are my favorite lines in the song. Enjoy! :)<br />

Long distance relationships are hard. They are almost impossible. Some give up while very few make it to the very end. Absence makes the heart grow fonder but it sometimes make the mind forget. But remember, one day, you two will be together again. And the feeling will make you forget that you've ever been away.<br />

<i>W</i>e should know the art of giving, without expecting anything in return. When we have someone to love, we should never be afraid to show them our affection and how thankful we are for being a part of their life. We should never let them doubt our love for them, hence, they should feel secure that no one will ever take their place into our hearts and minds. :) </div>

Sounds familiar? Well, it is because it was taken from the lyrics of One Friend by Dan Seals. But do we all know what a friend is? What friendship is all about?<br />
<br />
Friendship knows no age, no race, no religion and no status in life. Friendship exists everywhere. It is not limited on your batch mates, workmates, schoolmates or acquaintances. There is friendship in any relationship. We have a friendship with God, with our parents, with our siblings, with our lovers, with our relatives, and with anyone who is a part of our lives. A friend is not just someone who is there in times of happiness and sorrow. Making friends is not just for the sake of wide social networks. It disregards the true essence of friendship. To be a called a friend is both a privilege and an obligation.<br />

A Friend...<br />

A definition of a friend is endless. It depends on the person giving meaning to it. But these are how I describe and perceive a true friend. Friendship is tested by distance, differences, issues and misunderstandings, but when a friendship withstand all of these, it turns out to be at its strongest. As preached by Pastor Bernie in one of our Bible Study sessions,<i> a friend is someone who you can trust with whoever you are and with everything you have because you know that he will take care of you. What is important to you will always be important to him.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
Be a friend to everyone. To anyone you meet. Make friends with everyone in your world, in your life. You really don't need so many friends. A few is fine. Because to have a real friend, even just one, is enough for you to be able to appreciate life and face the world with ease and confidence, Life is not easy, it is meant to be difficult and mysterious, but having someone with you in your journey through life, will make everything, if not easy, possible and happier. :)<br />

One of the most popular games today is the candy crush saga. It can be played in the computer via Facebook or it can be downloaded on compatible gadgets. It is played by matching 3 or more candies of the same kind and accomplishing missions on each level. It might look the same with games such as Bejeweled Blitz, Zuma etc. but this game develops your cognitive skills. But why does it become an addicting game for users of all ages?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Candy Crush Saga offers a variety of levels that have goals and missions one needs to complete in order to advance to the next stage. It also has more than 300 levels to play with. Nowadays, people are more competitive which makes this game so popular. One wants to be on the top of another and so the game continues. But is Candy Crush Saga just a game or can it be applied to real life? Here is a list of some of the lessons I personally learned while playing this game. (I admit of being a Candy Crush addict :P)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
1. Be PATIENT. One of the twists of this game is that you only have 5 lives and when you lose all of it, you need to wait for 30 minutes to gain a life (and that would be 2 1/2 hours all in all to have a full set of lives again). Or, you can always ask your friends to give you a life but then, you still need to WAIT.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
2. Think first before you make a move. You only have a limited number of moves, (on some levels where time is really not vital) so in this game, A MOVE is gold. :) Same with reality, think first or think twice before deciding, so you don't have to regret anything :)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
3. Sometimes, it's all LUCK. You are randomly given a board and you are lucky if you are given a good board. A board where with just a few moves, almost everything explodes. :) In life, you get to be lucky on some things. but not all the time. :) </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXmK-vmp3oHJ5_aoGo6uLiESNEJg6G5vvgNJF6GNvpPKTguCMDvMV-GogSHzweyQZm-edXYtaIZPwXUCPCcZUCqQjP7ef5RHVB7vKSehTjvRAUTrQl9G7Uf4FJjN4lcFzyJ5Ktzdia_k0/s1600/cc.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="378" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXmK-vmp3oHJ5_aoGo6uLiESNEJg6G5vvgNJF6GNvpPKTguCMDvMV-GogSHzweyQZm-edXYtaIZPwXUCPCcZUCqQjP7ef5RHVB7vKSehTjvRAUTrQl9G7Uf4FJjN4lcFzyJ5Ktzdia_k0/s400/cc.png" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
4. Chocolates, Spinning chocolate makers, Chains, Icings are all obstacles in the game. But this is what makes it more interesting. :) Life is not always easy. There will be challenges and obstacles that seem to eat you all up but then you need to be strong to overcome them and win the game :) take note: Chocolates are really a bad thing for your health right? :)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
5. NEVER give up. Even if you think it is impossible for you to surpass a level, remember, if your friends passed the level, then why can't you? It is just a matter of perseverance and right time. Everything will fall into place.. at the right moment :)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
6. HELP a friend. This game signifies a give-and-take relationship. So don't be so lazy and selfish sending lives and responding to your friend's requests, because you will also need their help sooner or later. ( Except, when you are willing to spend a penny on this game) :)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
7. The game is never FAIR . You can't accomplish everything at once. But that is the fun part. It entertains you and at the same time frustrates you. Same with life. Not everything will go your way. There will be times when you will fall and there will be times when you will succeed. But that is the mystery of life. You never know what will happen next. :) And that is what makes you going. :)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Hope you learned some pieces of advice from this addicting game. Not only is it an ordinary cyber junk but a game full of twists, lessons and skills that can also be applied in our everyday life. :)</div>

I am thinking really hard of what my first topic would be. Should I make a list of to-do or to brings, or even to go stuffs? Or should I already make an article about everything I believed in, and let others see them in my point-of-view? But waking up today, looking at the mirror and seeing myself with those sleepy eyes, messy hair and in matching pajamas, i get to think, why don't I share who I really am. It will also be a fun way for me to see myself in black and white. And so as a beginning, I want to let everyone have a glimpse of me. Of who I really am and what I am made of. All those stuffs. More than what just meets the eye. More than the photos I posted and the statuses I made. Very few knows me really well.. and most, judged me on what they hear and what they see. Well, here are some pieces of me. :)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
1. I am a BELIEVER. I love God. I go to church every Sunday with my family. I also started joining Bible study sessions once a week to develop the spiritual aspect of myself. I always talk to Him through prayers and I know He is the only one who will never leave me.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
2. I am FAMILY ORIENTED. I am the eldest in the brood of five. I usually attend gatherings and events with my family. Our family always eat together and shares experiences and thoughts over meals. I always think of my family first before making any decision. I love my family very dearly.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
2. I am CHEERFUL. I love smiles and I love making others laugh. I am fond of telling jokes, funny stories or sometimes, making those bizarre moves that only I can make. I love imitating other people's mannerism and I also love doing the latest dance crazes and making them funnier.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
3. I am SENSITIVE. Little things affect me. Some things can really make me upset or angry. I can feel bad on some situations wherein I think that others blame me for it. I hate it when I know that people are talking about me behind my back which makes me mad and I sometimes tend to ignore them when that happens. And I can really be irrational and times.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
4. I am OUTSPOKEN. I say what is on my mind. I am very straight forward. I don't care what people think about me. I say what I think is right and I am not responsible for how people understand my words. I have my own opinion on some things and I really do everything to convince people to believe me or be on my side. I love debates where I can share my thoughts about different things and issues.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
5. I am DETERMINED. I go after what I want. I search for ways to achieve my goals and do everything to make it happen. I have dreams and I am very eager to make them all come true soon.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
