Malls During Christmas

I went to the mall yesterday thinking that I can buy stuff for Christmas given that that mall was having a big sale. When I got there the place was jam-packed with holiday shoppers, the line on the cashier counters were super long but I still went on shopping. Well, I wasn't really able to shop a lot since with all that many people a buzzing-and-a buzzing I found it hard to choose for the stuff I needed to buy (@-@).

However, I really like the feeling of being in the malls nowadays since they play those Christmas carols all day. It gives me the feeling that Christmas is really fast approaching. And well like a lot of people I really anticipate this season. I love the mood it gives to people. I love the smiles it brings and most of all I love those calorie-filled food served during this time of year.

Hooray! It's almost Christmas with just 9 more days to go.

Advance MERRY CHRISTMAS everyone! :)

another random post

I haven't visited this little space of mine recently since, I got busy with life's shiznits. Then I thought, nobody's anticipating my posts anyway so... (lol)

I've been reading a new blog recently. It's a food blog and it's awesome. It made me wanna have a food blog too, I mean I love food. I'm actually thinking about making one someday soon. I just don't have the time and the money to go restaurant hopping just yet. But for now, I'll be the random blogger that I have always been. :)

Have a happy Monday everyone. :)

A Rainy Tuesday

It's another rainy morning here in this side of the world. However, no matter how gloomy the skies are right now I'm not gonna let it make my day gray. I know, rather I would like to believe that this day is gonna be bright and shiny even if the weather tends to contradict me (Wohooo, talk about overflowing positivism!).

Oh, well. It's a rainy Tuesday but a Tuesday nonetheless and to make it a happy and memorable day is gonna be up to us. And I'm gonna try my hardest to make this day a good day (yipee!).

Have a great rainy Tuesday everyone!

One of my favorite movies: Idiocracy

One of my most favorite movie of all time is "Idiocracy". I love, love, love the plot, the characters, everything even though some of the effects aren't that great still I love, love, love it. It's a fun movie yet it makes sense. I first saw it with my friends in one of my classes in college and since then I have fell in love with it. I mean personally, I really like that movie. For me it's like a social commentary, the one that shows us a different perspective of the world and society. For some this can be an exaggeration but that's just my opinion and everyone is free to have their own (^-^).  

What I really mean is that, when you watch the movie you laugh so hard and then pause for a moment asking yourself the "What if" question. What if this will be the future? What if this will be the kind of society the next generations will have? What if it's already happening now? What if... What if...

For those who haven't seen the movie (it was released in 2006 according to Wikipedia). I can give a short overview of the movie's plot.

Here it goes:

So, the government was trying an experiment on human hibernation and so they chose a very average man and woman as the test subjects. Then there was a problem that caused the project to be junked and forgotten. 

Fast forward 500 years. The test subject, "Joe" woke up in a society where people are dumb and regard intellectual ones with anger, hatred or pure discrimination. A world where an energy drink replaced water as the primary source for hydrating all life forms and water being just used for toilets (Imagine a world like that!).  

The story then rotates with Joe and he's co-test subject, Rita in their quest to find the 'time machine' (you have to see what that really is) while trying to save their lives from danger of being persecuted.

That's the meat of the movie. It really is a fun movie that me and my friends have enjoyed. For you to know if it really is a good movie (and well, know the whole story of the movie since I'm not really that awesome at writing summaries) I would advise you to see the movie for yourself and you can tell me your opinion about it.

Here's my favorite line form Idiocracy:

"Lead, follow or get out of the way"

Have a great Saturday everyone. :)

looking back on weekends

Back when I was a kid I look forward to weekends for it means two days with no class and I can play with my friends for two whole days. I guess every kid thinks that way. Then I thought maybe when I get older my thoughts on weekends will change, but it did not. 

I have always thought that growing up is fun. I was one of those typical kids (I don't think I'm that unique) who can't wait to grow-up. Those type that used to role play as a working professional and tend to act like a grown-up person / an adult. But then when I started to really be on my way to adulthood, it suddenly hit me that I don't want to be an adult that fast and right now that I'm a grown-up I can't help myself into giving in to the fantasies of being a kid again. I mean, I wanna enjoy the freedom and the carefree nature of being a child. Those times when I can be myself and act without thinking that the world may judge me. That time when I can say what I want without  weighing things down and thinking what the outcome of my words would be. That time when I can be honest to everyone and I don't have to care what the world thinks.

Those were the days. The days when my only woes were the end of the weekend. The days wherein foes or rivals seemed to not exist and if they do they never really last for at the end of the day we'd still play together. Those days that are now in past.

It is said that one should never dwell on the past but rather make it as a reference of some sort for the future. Oh well, I can't really help myself to romanticize my childhood memories (I just can't ^-^). 

Have a great day everyone.

half awake and thinking of cupcakes

I'm actually still rather very much sleepy but then again I have to get up in order to do stuff I have to do. However, no matter how sleepy and draggy I'm feeling right now there's still a part of me that urges myself to think that today's gonna be a great day if I'm willing to make it one. I mean, if I really want it to be a great day then probably it's going to be a great day. Wow, that's kinda redundant, huh? (hahahaha)

I would like to believe that when you really want something and try your hardest to get it, then it will be at your reach soon. So, hopefully thinking, wanting and trying to have a great day would be enough for me to have one today. (I want a cupcake) T-T 

This is rather an incoherent, draggy, and meaningless post. But then again I guess this is what you get if you try to blog when you are just half awake. To serve as partly my apology for this post, here's a cupcake.

Have a great day everyone. :)

tomorrow is going to be a new day

This day ended with a surprise (a good kind of surprise). Well, it's not a surprise birthday party if you might ask, it's about something that I can't divulge for fear that I might jinx it. I'm so excited if ever this will push through and hopefully it will (*fingers crossed).

For the past few weeks, I have nothing to anticipate upon. It felt almost like, I have been living a life composed of boring routines even though I strive to make each and everyday a 'new day'. Hopefully tomorrow will be.

Here's a teddy bear for you guys. Hope it will help you have a good night. :)

Raindrops on the rooftop

It's another rainy day, like literally. I woke up this morning to the sound of raindrops falling from the skies to my rooftop and the occasional greeting of the thunder as if saying good morning. The sound of the rain felt like music to my ears. I guess I wake up on the right side of the bed even if I slept for just a few hours or I just really don't have any plans to go out today.  

I'm just wondering why people tend to use rain as a metaphor for sadness, problems, and what-not. Probably the gloominess of the skies when it rains is one of the reasons. I mean, when one has problems it makes one gloomy and sad. 

Have a great day everyone. :)

TOO TIRED to read

I love books and I love reading though ever since I got a job I have never finished reading the one that I have started about a month ago. It is kind of sad for it was a good book but whenever I get home I tend to just eat dinner then go straight to sleep. I guess I'm still adjusting with the whole work-related-stress thing. Hopefully I can cope up with it sooooooooon.

Have a good Saturday everyone! :)

Showing up an HOUR early for a Job Interview

I know it's great to arrive early for a job interview but to arrive an hour early is kind of sad. That happened to me though (HAHAHA)/ But then again, I think in some way it helped with me getting the job maybe it impressed them or something.

Have a great morning! :)

The Power of a Smile

I was just wondering how really powerful a smile can be. If it is true that you can help brighten another person's day just by smiling. 

The thing is, usually people are so busy that they tend to go about their own businesses, not caring about the people around them. A good example would be the morning rush, people tend to pass by each other trying to walk fast so as not to be late in their jobs, schools, or meetings. You're probably asking where I'm going with this, right? Here's the story:

A few weeks ago, I was walking along with everyone else one morning when a person came across me, he was walking too. He was smiling at everyone and he smiled at me too, even greeted me good morning. As a normal reaction I smiled back. I don't know who he is really but it was a good way to start the day. I mean, I found myself smiling at people that came my way that morning and even though some did not smile back there are also some that did and it kind of gives off a certain happy feeling. I think I should thank that guy for making me start that day with a smile, so whoever you are anonymous guy "Thank you.":)

When I think about it, a smile can really have a big effect on others. I mean, wouldn't it? For example, when your buying stuff in a grocery store or ordering a meal in a fast food joint wouldn't the experience be more awesome if the teller / cashier greets you with a smile?

To end, I think I know now how powerful a smile can be. :)))

Have a great Sunday!

Internet's clasp

I guess, we all have that experience of trying to look for inspiration on the net or try to do some research and end up surfing the whole day long, forgetting why we came there in the first place.

memories triggered by old things

I visited my old blog today and it made me miss school. I guess, it's because most of my posts there is about the fun and stress-filled days I had back when I was in college (it has been actually just around six or seven months since I graduated). It really ain't such long time yet, but I do miss being in those four walled classrooms, especially the time I had with my friends (awwwwwww :3).

I have a huge feeling this post will probably be tinted with the "emo" stuff I have read in my old blog (HAHAHA). So, forgive me if ever it will be.

You know what, I have this tendency to solve things on my own. I don't know really I just find it hard to ask for help from others, even if I know they'll be willing to help. I'm just scared I guess. I'm scared that I'll become a pain in their butts, I'm scared that they might brush me away, I'm scared that.... Though, I know I have to try and reach out more often. Believe me, it's hard to do that specially if you've sealed yourself up so tight. It's like trying to break down a very thick wall of stone made stronger through time or trying to open a door without a key (weird analogues huh?).

In another matter, just so I can drive these sad thoughts I'm having, I had fun reading my old blog. It's like reliving the glory days of my last year in college again. Like being my old carefree, sometimes quirky self again (HAHAHAHA).

I guess that's all for now.  

post halloween - halloween special

Hello! Here's Myma's Halloween Special... :)

Wouldn't that be scary if you thought a ghost was just wearing a costume? What would you do if this happened to you? 

Happy Halloween!  :)

For Halloween

I can really feel that Halloween is just around the corner. I mean, almost every channel I flip to on T.V. has shows with the theme of the spooks and everything ghoulish. That, plus posters of  Halloween costume parties are flooding the streets.

Well, I'm fond of horror movies so why not. I actually enjoy this time of year, I love it when malls and department stores fill their racks with them fun and scary costumes. I have never really tricked or treated before (I would have really loved to though) but I like wearing costumes and to be given treats for it would be really great.

Happy Halloween! and I would like to congratulate myself for posting daily on this space for five (5) consecutive days. That's an achievement for me, I'm more of an occasional blogger (I post whenever I want to, whatever I want to).

Once again, advance Happy Halloween! :)

The launching of "Myma's Misadventures"

Hello everyone!

I'll be "launching" my first comic strip ever (yipeeeeee - but I'm keeping my fingers crossed on this). 

Meet Myma, she's a quirky, fun-loving, a bit naive and most of the time broke 20-something. Join her in her misadventures in life.  

Don't you just hate it when there's a sale but the prices are still too high for your budget? :)

Have a great day everyone. :)

Waking up super early and lovin' it

Have you ever tried of waking up on the thought that you're already late for something but when you look at the clock it's still very early?

This just happened to me today. I was still in dreamland (at least I think I was) when my eyes sprung wide open and the thought that "Hey, wake up it's already 8!" is supplied to your mind. I almost jumped out of bed only to be feeling sorry for myself when I look at the clock.

Yes! I woke up at 3 in the morning (well it was around 3:30 though -I'm over exaggerating). So, I went back to bed, tried to sleep again when a drum and lyre core passed by our house at 4 a.m (belting their parade tune out) waking me up even more. So, I got up and figured "I'm awake now, might as well be productive".

Well, I did woke up with a great mood today, so, instead of trying to go back to sleep, here I am blogging about it (hahaha :D).

Have great Saturday everyone! :)

One Awesome FriDATE

As expected (a day out with my awesome friends) my day has been full of epic randomness. It was awesome! We spent the whole afternoon, catching up and doing the most random things we thought of.

It was a much needed break from my almost dull-monotonous life. As if a break from reality that brings me to a world of the care-free. Right now, I'm a very happy bee. :D

At times like this, normally, I would have taken photos to document all the fun but sadly my camera is not in the mood of taking pictures for now (I'm still in denial of the fact that it's not working anymore). I miss my camera. I'm hoping its tantrums will be over soon (*fingers crossed). If not, I guess I just need to put "a new camera" in my list of things to ask from Santa this Christmas next to world peace and good health to one and all :).

 How's your day been?

Hope you like my scribbles using my laptop's touchpad. :)))

Fridate

Good Morning!

It's still 6 a.m. here in this side of the globe. I wake up early today (well, I wake up early everyday but today is unusual given that today is a holiday here). I guess because I'm excited for later, me and my friends will go out for another afternoon full of randomness and probably some pizza (wohoooo).

How I imagine my afternoon will be full of haha's and blah-blah's
(for with them it's always full of laughter and chitchat- yipee)

I'm so excited, I haven't really gone out recently due to stuff and what-not so this is my chance to. Plus, I haven't really seen them for a while now and I miss their company.
Do you have plans for today? What is it?

A happy Friday to one and all. :)

Rainy days and memories

It has been another rainy day, it was to be expected with the tropical depression and all. Just as the rain fell almost as if endlessly from the gray skies, memories of my childhood days came pouring in.

I remember, before I used to love it when it rains especially when there's a typhoon. We used to run around and take a bath in the rain (we do take a real bath after). When there's a tyhoon, most of the time classes and work are cancelled making me and my family all stay at home, where we play monopoly or chess together while drinking hot drinks or sipping hot soup home-cooked by my mother (YUM!).

Even when the power is out due to the strong winds, we, as a family tend to find a way to make the experience a fun one. We tend to make shadow puppets using our hands and forming it like animals and stuff. One of my most favorite part during those times is when the power comes back on and we blow each candles one by one, singing the birthday song before blowing the fire out.

I really love it when that happens and I miss those days (though I would like to clarify that I don't love nor like the disasters brought about by typhoons).

Oh, the memories. It's fun to reminisce them every once and a while.

Do you love reminiscing memories too? Hope everyone's having a good day!

Gray Skies and Colorful Umbrellas

It has been constantly raining since yesterday and well the gloomy skies seems to still be gloomy. According to the news, the weather is brought by a tropical depression hence, the gloomy skies and constant rain. The weatherman advised that we should bring umbrellas and coats, that is if we have plans to go out (e.i. work, school, and what-not).

However, in spite of the gray weather, there is one thing that I'm anticipating during rainy days like these. The parade of colorful umbrellas that people sport. It's kinda amusing how many variety of umbrellas there are and how they come in different colors (the kid within me starts to show up in times like these). I guess, it's my way of self-motivation to steer my thoughts away from the otherwise depressing weather.

How's your weather? Hopefully it's not as gloomy as mine. :)

First POST evah!!!
