Trivia Night!

Wow.

Finally this is over.

Just a one night event but Cha & I have been preparing for this in like 3 weeks!

I did all the questions with some contributions from the A&S but hell yeah it is hard to choose the questions for some reason! Luckily I have my internet in the office so I got the chance to really check the correct answers.

It's our first time to really be in-charge of the Trivia Night so not everything was perfect.. we forgot to reserve a projector/screen/permit before the event itself.. thankfully Sir Dennis Galimba was nice to me he did the permit quickly.. thanks also to the Admin team for the screen and to CAO for the projector haha. At the end of the day, I felt a little stressed but more importantly I am more than happy. Everything just went well and everyone is happy. I think everyone enjoyed the event. I actually prepared 20 questions per round but only 8-10 questions were asked due to time constraint. My favorite would be the "Joseph the dreamer" answer! Winner!

Congrats to Yellow & Blue Team.

They really deserved to win.

Green Team struggled in the Difficult round. Geez. But we will be more ready by July.

See you on the Triva Night Level Up! - 2nd Leg

Something Beautiful by The Newsboys

Another beautiful song!



I wanna start it over
I wanna start again
I want a new a new beginning
One without any end
I feel it inside
Calling out to me

CHORUS
It's a voice that whispers my name
It's a kiss without any shame
Something beautiful
Like a song that stirs in my head
Singing love will take us where
Something's beautiful

I've heard it in the silence
Seen it on a face
I've felt it in a long hour
Like a sweet embrace
I know this is true
It's calling out to me

CHORUS
It's a voice that whispers my name
It's a kiss without any shame
Something beautiful
Like a song that stirs in my head
Singing love will take us where
Something's beautiful

It's the child on her wedding day
It's the daddy that gives her away--Father
Something beautiful
When we laugh so hard we cry
It's the love between you and I
Something beautiful

I'm starting to like my newly discovered artist via YouTube.

Very nice songs.

My favorite is "White Dress" ~ Just a perfect wedding song.




14-1

That's the Lakers' record since Kobe & Pau represented them in the All-Star.

Not bad.

I'm sure the Lakers will go far in the playoffs if they play like this.. you know.. Lamar being sensational, Ron-Ron showing his biceps, Pau shooting well, Drew blocking shots, Fish making the usual flop.. and of course.. Kobe Bryant doing Kobe Bryant kind of things- mamba mode on.

Lakers Update

Saw the fragrant foul on Beasley.

Dumb foul Drew.



I'm not surprised if you will be suspended.

I just hope this won't affect your next games because you have been a monster after the All-Star break.

As of today standings:


So far so good. Number 2 is safe.

I think San Antonio is a sure lock on the number 1 spot already.

Playoffs is near.

My relaxed days won't be the same again.


And for all the Laker Haters, I leave this to you..

There are certain kinds of people that are purely driven. I can tell who they are simply by looking at them. I have faced so much criticism for my drive that at times it has alienated me from the majority: the people who are comfortable with second place, the people who hate against me because I am not. You know these kinds of people; they are the ones who fear winning, the jealous ones who envy and try to sabotage. They are the people who have been telling me I couldn’t win all my life. Many times my drive to succeed has put me on an island all by myself because no one understood me, or they chose to misunderstand me. They chose to portray me as being something that I was not. I have learned that it is OK for me to be me, and what being me entails. It means that I will not rest; I will not sleep, relax, relent or be satisfied until my goals have been met, the challenges answered and my doubters silenced. I will not give in to my foes; I won’t let down my teammates. I won’t stop inspiring those who look up to me or stop giving motivation to those who motivate me. I will not back off until I’m back on top, back in the place where they say I could never be again.
— Kobe Bryant

Pilipinas Got Talent Season 2: Kenny Padalla

I watched him in last night's episode.. Let's bet.. this teen will be a favorite this year to win it all.. As Kris mentioned "Meron kang very cute face. At para kang sakristan." Ai-Ai further related: "Parang parati kang naliligo."

This is his actual PGT performance:

Ultimate Loyalty: Japanese Dog

Bittersweet... very touching video..

___________________

Emerging coverage from Japan offers a moving example of ultimate dog loyalty, and clearly illustrates the challenges faced by animal victims of the earthquake and tsunami.



It has been said that the dogs were picked up after the video was filmed, and are in the care of a local shelter.

Translation of conversation in video:
We are in Arahama area. Looks like there is a dog. There is a dog. He looks tired and dirty. He must have been caught in the tsunami. He looks very dirty.

He has a collar. He must be someone's pet. He has a silver collar. He is shaking. He seems very afraid.

Oh, there is another dog. I wonder if he is dead.

Where?

Right there. There is another dog right next to the one sitting down. He is not moving. I wonder. I wonder if he is alright.

The dog is protecting him.

Yes. He is protecting the dog. That is why he did not want us to approach them. He was trying to keep us at bay.

I can't watch this. This is a very difficult to watch.

Oh. Look. He is moving. He is alive. I am so happy to see that he is alive.

Yes! Yes! He is alive.

He looks to be weakened. We need to them to be rescued soon. We really want them rescued soon.

Oh good. He's getting up.

It is amazing how they survived the tremendous earthquake and tsunami. It's just amazing that they survived through this all.

American Idol 10 Update

Okay by this time I'm sure everyone knows the Top 10 already.

Fortunately, the Pinay Thia Megia was included in the list even though the judges were kinda rough on her the past couple of weeks.

Check out this picture ~ "Pinay na Pinay!"


My thoughts on AI:

Karen should have been in the Top 10, not Haley.

I don't like Jacob Lusk!

I like Paul's dancing my gosh! Just so charismatic and adorable.

I'm still waiting for Lauren's breakout performance.

Scotty is cute. I don't like country music, but Scotty just sounds and looks good on TV.

Stefano sings better since the wildcard episode.

9 Reason Why to Travel When You're Young


There’s no denying that traveling is one of the most gratifying experiences in life. It revives your energy, stirs your senses, and rekindles your passion for life. But as gratifying as it may be, most people start traveling at a mature age –meaning mostly over their mid thirties. They see travel as a reward for all their hard work and a way to enjoy their success. Or they just simply postpone traveling due to debt, responsibilities, or just to feel stability in their life. Of course, there is nothing wrong with establishing yourself first and then travel, but there are many reasons why traveling at an early age is desirable and why you should do it. Here are nine reasons that can get you started:

It will help you decide what you want in life
It is common in human nature to not know what you really like until you experiment it. Traveling when young can be a great platform to diversify your experience early in life and to discover what is your purpose in life. Each country, each city, even each restaurant you might visit is an opportunity to experiment something different. It is better to realize your true desires and potential early in life rather than realize them when you think it’s too late.

Less Physical attachments equals more freedom
As you grow, you start to settle your life with physical attachments like a mortgage, a car, and kids. Traveling before this stage of your life will be much easier and the freedom will be priceless. You will be able to travel for longer terms, more often, and with fewer preoccupations.

You’ll get street smart
It’s always good to compliment your “school smart” with some “street smart”, and there’s no better way to do this than traveling. Traveling teaches you a wide variety of things that can be applied to your daily life –from the most banal to the most indispensable. When traveling you acquire a unique wisdom that is useful for your entire life.

It will make you a more interesting person
There is nothing more interesting than having a conversation with someone who has something to say. You will not be a blank canvas anymore; your travels will be part of your story as a person. Traveling creates an interesting story in your life that is worthy telling to all your friends. Not only your travel conversations can be of great interest, but they can also be eye openers to other people. At that point, you become an inspiration to those who would also like to explore the world.

You’ll grow culturally
Be it a different way of living, a religion, or simply anything foreign to you; when you travel you get exposed to different cultures that can have a direct impact in your life. Your tolerance will grow as you experiment them, and in many cases, you’ll learn how to see things from a different perspective. Every culture is different, and so is every person in it.

You’ll learn to develop your independence and how to be responsible
Traveling is one of the best ways to learn how to be independent. When you travel, everything relies on you. Even if you travel on an organized trip, there is a certain degree of organizational skills, responsibility, and independence that you have to exert. When traveling independently, you are responsible for your plane tickets, accommodations, transportation, passport, and money –it’s like a crash course of life.

You learn how to manage your money early in life
There is nothing worse than being out on the road and run out of money. You feel like you’re lost and that the world is about to end. There is no comfort zone when you’re traveling; everything depends on you. For that reason, traveling serves as a great “teaching lesson” on how to manage your finances. How so? Well, if you spend recklessly, you’ll see its effect on subsequent parts of your trip.

You won’t resent it later in life
There is nothing worse than reaching a later stage in life and regretting not doing something when you were young. Well, traveling is one of those. There are many things to experience in this world, so why wait till later in life to enjoy them? There is no reason to spend your young active years just working. Like they say; don’t live to work… work to live.

Because you deserve it!
Hell yeah! We all deserve to have a good time traveling and to see what’s out there. There is no need to wait till later in life to start experiencing the world. Don’t let opportunity pass you by, explore the world while you’re young.

How Do You Know / Just Go With It

Today, I had my chance to watch two chick flicks..

How Do You Know - With the complete amazing cast, I can't believe I'm saying this - it is INSANELY boring. Sorry. Such a paradox. It's just a perfect example of a movie that will make you sit and stare at the end credits thinking like "so that's it?".. It’s nowhere near funny. Paul Rudd's cuteness was the only positive thing in the film for me. I sooo love Reese, but not in this movie.


Just Go With It - Heard from my friends that this film is good so I watched it. Wow. Jennifer Aniston can't be 42! She's still very beautiful. About the movie, well it's hilarious but won't be my favorite. Still, it is a feel good movie. And one more thing, I heard the most amazing mash up ever - Chasing Cars & Every Breath You Take ~ or simply "Every Car You Chase" - Must listen.

Prayers to Japan

So, I’m sure everyone heard about the tsunami in Japan? Our thoughts are with everyone in Japan and hopefully there won’t be anymore lives lost than there all ready have been.

I can't stand watching the videos or just simply hearing stories about what happened in Japan. It saddens me and hurts me more that I can’t do much to help than pray. I can’t even imagine these horrible videos are for real. It was just like one of those disaster movies I’ve watched before. But on the back of my mind, it could be worse if the structures of the buildings are weak. Japan’s engineering was really amazing. Magnitude 8.9 in the Philippines I think will bring all of the structures down.

Imagine seeing this.. just like the movies..

Well, so here I am thinking aloud the aftermath of the quake and tsunami..

While we’re here worrying about our work, someone out there just lost his home. While we’re here thinking of what to eat later, someone in Japan just lost his family. While we’re here fretting about the slightest issues in our lives, someone out there is devastated by something that is beyond his control.. It’s so sad how we need disasters like this to happen to appreciate what we have and to realize how small and insignificant and fragile our lives really are.

Today I saw this posted in the net:

09-11-01 USAs tragedy
03-10-11 Japans tragedy
*add them together*
12-21-12 Earths tragedy

Coincidence?

I think for most Christians, we know the “signs”.. But it isn’t something we like to think of. We know Christ is coming back, but no one really likes the idea of how everything as we know will one day disappear. All these natural disasters in Haiti, New Zealand, Queensland, China & now Japan.. I don’t believe it’s a coincidence. I think we’re nearing the end and it’s approaching faster than we can imagine.

Thinking about this makes me wonder that if the world is going to end in a year or two, do I really want to be doing what I’m doing now? That’s why it is very important to really treat everyday as if it is your last. Looking at the brightside, I think we could learn something from this situation and reflect on the fact that life is more than just houses, possessions and an 8am-5pm job. I would never ever wish this kind of disaster on anyone.. the death toll has been far too high but I feel there is a kind of beauty in the way people have treated each other since the earthquakes.

So I think, more than ever before, we need to pray. Pray for the people out there, pray for this world. Pray so that God can reveal to us how we can make a difference in whatever time we have left. Meanwhile, continue praying for Japan, for the people who have lost everything, for the search and rescue teams, and for God’s mercy and grace to be upon them.

Japan, New Zealand, Libya, Mexico, and anywhere else in the world where people are hurt - BE STRONG. Rest assured, THE WORLD CARES.

Even with all that, Life is still amazing.

And because I am an animal lover, I’m at most hurt when I see dead pictures of animals.. and this one melts my heart..

A&S 2011

Wow. I am still a part of A&S. At first I was hesitant for a second stint, of course.. after being busy for quite some time.. but when I look at it, I think I enjoyed most of the time. I guess this year will be the best! We have the best crew! We are just starting but our bonding has been tremendous (especially during ocular).. So am I up for the challenge this year?

Go Green or Go Gray? Hmmm. We'll see.

Looking forward to Summer Outing already. I just hope Canyon Cove is the place to be.

Woohoo!!!
