Turtle vs. Fish
This is the result if you put your fish and turtle in one aquarium…
I told them not to put them together but still I don’t know what have gotten into their crazy mind and still did it, and so this is what happened… tsk3… Poor Little Fish… Beaten and eaten by the turtle…
I’ve never thought that turtles would eat fishes not until I saw ours feasting on it’s prey….
Watch Free Movies Online
Downloaded a movie online for Free, yeah, Free! There are lots of sites where you can watch and download FREE movies online and watch-movies.net is just one of them. I had been wanting to watch some movies there before but our internet connection was so slow at that time. But now we had a DSL Broadband Internet connection and we can watch movies there without feeling bored of waiting for it to buffer for a long time. Yeehhaa!

Another Life to Live
“For Whosoever shall call upon the name of the LORD shall be saved.“
-Romans 10:13
One night, I felt that someone’s strangling my neck and I can’t breathe… I tried to shout for help but I can’t even hear my own voice. I was struggling… I tried to fight the shadow that wants to drown me into the darkness, but I can’t move an inch. I started kicking the dark shadow and pushed it but it did nothing. I was so scared and started to panic, thinking: “Would this be the end of my life?”

The Little One is Busy Reading
SShhh… be quiet, I am reading…
That is my very lovely, makulit but malambing na niece/god daughter… She looked serious reading (although she can’t read yet *LOL*). We we’re busy buying a ticket for the We Will Rock You Musical Concert at the Hong Kong Academy of Performing Arts, when we saw her in this act. My sister hurriedly get her cam and took these photos. Cute noh?
Far Away From Home
I asked for it and I got it… this has been my first time to be away from my family and my hometown for a long time… and I was so excited and at the same time nervous… thinking ‘hey, I’ll be on my own now…’ I am now responsible for every action that I’ll take hence, I’m really really grateful for this opportunity.
I’ve been waiting for this for so long coz I want to be independent, to grow as an individual and try to learn more about myself and life… but I won’t be able to do it if I won’t go away… away from them (my family)… far from them who sustains all my needs… I just hoped that this experience would help me to be matured enough to make my own decisions and be a responsible individual….FIRST WEEK…
I was somewhat surprised as I arrived at this City… seeing a bunch of noisy tricycles on the main road (like they were on a race track or something like that…) later on I figured out that this is their way of transportation here… No traffic lights and no route to be followed…
I’ve been to this City for a few times but never stayed for more than one day… I love to travel and I’ve been into different places already eversince I was a kid… Sometimes we just passed at this City and never thought of staying or living here but now here I am trying to fit in… trying to make each day a memorable one…
I thought that the brown-out that happened in our office one night was just an accident, but when it happened almost everyday (men! What a city!) I dunno but it’s really irritating when you were so busy working and all of a sudden ———– brown-out! ggrrr… do you agree with me? Anyways, the city’s clean though and my officemates were nice… but my problem is…. *secret* hahahaha….
SECOND WEEK…
Pinoy Ako!
In Hong Kong people sometimes mistook me as a Chinese but when they started to strike a conversation with me, there they would know that I am not. Hahaha… But here in Macau, a lot of people mistook me as an Indonesian… Wahhh!!! At first it was just okay but now it’s somewhat annoying already, even other Filipinos think that I am an Indonesian… *sigh* Do I really look like one??? Waahhh… I don’t want to believe nor accept that…
First encounter with a Pinoy guy in a shop.
He was looking at me and said:
Guy: Indonesian?
Me: No, Filipina.
Guy: Oh, I thought you’re an Indonesian.
Second encounter with a guy in a bus stop. I was waiting for the bus to arrived and There’s this guy who keeps on looking at me…Guy: Nepali? Nepali? (in a very fast tone).
Me: (Puzzled) What??
Guy: Nepali?
Me: No.
G:Oh, Malaysian?
M: No.
G: Indonesian?
M: No.
G: (thinking…) Ahh.. Thailand?
M: No.Then he stopped guessing… so i said “Philippines, Filipino.”
G: Oh i see and smiled…Third encounter…
Food for Thought
I was having breakfast alone when my sister came into our dining room and sit beside me. While eating, we were talking about her upcoming acquaintance party and other stuffs regarding her studies. I was about to finish eating, when she remembered an incident that happened yesterday and started telling me her story. Anne said: “Ate Che, Kagahapon ba sa village nila Leah, naay mga bata na nagakolekta ug lamaw.” (Ate {appellation for elder sister} Che, Yesterday at Leah’s village there was a group of kids who are collecting leftovers.) I on the other hand was about to laugh as I had my last piece of food in my plate thinking ‘what’s she’s talking about? I’m still eating’, but then I just disregard it and still continue listening to her. Anne: “Kada balay sila nagakolekta ug lamaw, nagdala-dala sila ug dako na balde, pagkahuman nihunong sila gi-abrihan nila ang balde ug gitan-aw ang mga sulod. Tpos nakakita man na sila ug pizza ilang gikuha ug gikaon. Grabe noh? Luoy kaayo sila”. (They were collecting leftovers in every house holding a big bucket of it and after that they stopped and open it and take a glimpse of what’s inside, They then saw a pizza… took it and started eating it. They’re so pitiful.)
With our population rising up and economy’s down, it’s the children who are suffering the most. I feel so sorry for those children; a lot of us are still lucky to have fine foods in our dining table while the others out there are busy looking for anything everywhere just to fill their empty stomachs…
I will be transferring some of my favorite posts in my other blog here… and this is just one of them…. Happy reading….
