I'm Invincible

Happy birthday, indeed!

Aimee — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 15:24:17 +0000

First of all, thank you so much for the greetings. I never expected that people still pass by here. Ha ha ha! Thank you, thank you.

I guess all your wishes came true. I, indeed, had a very happy birthday. Well, more than half of the day wasn’t all that great. Stressful because of our Market Expo. I went home with a heavy heart, body, and mind… The moment I reached my dorm, someone knocked on the door outside. I was expecting my cousin because I borrowed a jumper from her. But when I opened the door, it was him I was speechless. He arrived by 11am that day and I had no idea… It was the biggest surprise I was so happy that tears came rolling down. Tears of joy, yes.

He told me to change my clothes because we had to go somewhere. I thought we were going out for dinner, but we went to the airport. Ha ha! Second surprise. My mom arrived from Pampanga She brought a cake from Red Ribbon and a whole lot more

It was a day full of surprises. And I could barely contain the happiness I felt. Sadness gone.

Thanks also to my sister <3 love, love!

On the 28th, Eugene left for Maasin, so he could spend time with his family and friends there. I really wanted to go because I miss my hometown, too Well, he came back to Cebu on the 3rd of March. ‘Twas a Wednesday and I had a class until 4:30pm. And the night before, I reserved 2 movie tickets for Miss You Like Crazy through sureseats.com. :)) It was a good one. The patience part was really emphasized and it was heart-warming. John Lloyd’s expressions never fail to make wonders.

And on the 4th of March, which was also Eugene’s departure date, (thank God my class was still at 3pm) we went to BDO near the Ayala mall because something went wrong with his ATM. The money just disappeared from his account. The attendant told us to call their Makati office. Not so much help we got there… Anyway, we went inside the mall for lunch. And then I saw this poster just below the label CINEMA 1. It was then that I realized that March 4 was the release date of Alice in Wonderland, the movie that I had waited long to see. I, actually, planned to watch in SM tomorrow so I can watch it in 3D. But, I then realized that Eugene wouldn’t be here any longer, so I decided to watch it with him on that day Anyway, my class was still at 3 and the movie was only until 2:30 First showing on the first day. I’m so happy! <3

It was a good movie, too. Johnny Depp was, is, and always will be, my favorite actor. Ha ha! Helena did great also. Woot woot! Tim Burton does wonders. Kudos to them all.

So, it was, generally a good day. I enjoyed the whole time he was here.

50 months and counting :))

Thank you and see you soon Well, I’m going to Manila very soon for our Educational Tour!!! I can’t wait

Enough Said!!!

Cebu Bloggers Society, 2nd Anniversary Celebration :)

Aimee — Wed, 10 Feb 2010 10:49:12 +0000

I had been a part of the CBS family for over a year already. And I am extremely grateful to everyone for being a great companion and a friend. The laughters and all are worth a king’s ransom

In two years, blogging in Cebu has ripened from just being a mere online diary to something that takes an active role in civic and social awareness.
One of the factors that contributed to this positive development in the blogging scene in Cebu is the creation of a local blogging community.

The Cebu Bloggers Society was founded on February 14, 2008, with the main goal of uniting Cebu-based bloggers into a well-bonded community. And indeed, after its creation, individuals with diverse backgrounds but with a common interest, which is to promote Cebu and advocate blogging as a key tool for progress, converged together to establish Cebu’s first and largest blogging community.

The Cebu Bloggers Society has really grown and evolved quite significantly. From its humble beginnings, the group presently has at least 80 members and the number is still bound to increase further.

And now, the group is already anticipating its 2nd founding anniversary! Dubbed as “CBS @ 2: The Cebu Bloggers Society 2nd Anniversary Celebration”, the event is envisioned to further strengthen the bond of friendship and camaraderie within the blogging community.

The anniversary celebration will be held on Sunday, February 14, 2010, 5-9PM, at the Celebration Hall of SM Storyland, Lower Ground Floor, SM City Cebu.

Also, this event wouldn’t be possible without the help of our sponsors. Thank you so much

See you, guys!

I am back….(for the nth time)

Hello, online world I seriously think that I was gone for a long time that I started to realize I was becoming invisible. ~~Aimeenvincible~~ turned Aimeenvisible School had started to become demanding. And I don’t know for how long. Perhaps until I graduate. It’s like all we are and we will be having since this semester are Case Studies, Feasibility Studies, Thesis, and the like. The rest are just props for graduation. It’s not that I’m underestimating my other subjects, but it feels like the pressure that they are giving isn’t enough to top the majors.

The more I focus my view on our feasibility study and case studies, the more vague the minors become. Sometimes, I feel really guilty for favoring my major subjects, that eventually led to neglecting everything else, but it’s something that I could barely help. My time-management isn’t that stable and my self-disciple is way too low Oh help me, God!

Anyway, enough of the dark side, there’s this new store in SM Cebu. Yay I was already a fan of that store in Facebook even before it was established here. And it’s really a good thing because I can reserve dresses online before the stocks will be available here But the downside of online purchases (reservations are considered sold) is the uncertainty with the sizes. So, I still have to go to their store just so I can be sure everything fits perfectly.

Now, there are dresses that I like and I only have a budget for one. I’m still not sure, though, if I will really buy it. But just in case.., I want to ask for your opinions. Which, among these, is nicest?

Tell me what you think

Lastly…

Philippines “Dancing Inmates” from Cebu Provincial Detention and Rehabilitation Center (CPDRC), a maximum security prison, were treated to a visit by Michael Jacksons long-time choreographer Travis Payne and dancers Daniel Celebre and Dres Reid to learn performances from THIS IS IT.

Free…

Real update super soon.. School’s pretty stressful lately. And I still have this Feasibility Study to finish Unfortunately, almost everyone didn’t make it on the first defense, which is in the field of Marketing. So, I really have to work super harder and smarter this time. I also hope my groupmates would really cooperate Wish us luck, earthlings

For the meantime, I would like to ask for your help with this:

Please click the image :)) thank you.. I promise to help you in return

You can click the image or this :)) Please and thank you

Eventful :D

I had gone on an almost-hiatus phase. Yeah, no real updates for almost a month now. Pretty sad
When I was in GenSan, I couldn’t find time to surf the Net since all we did was party, hang out, etc. I’m really not complaining though, since everything was a total blast. From the arrival, to the departure, almost no dull moments. That is all thanks to Kuya Jaypee *hugs* Seriously, that was the only vacation that I could hang out without bringing a cent It was like he wanted us to make the most out of our time there without minding the amount of money he spent.

It was also in GenSan that I had slept super late. Late as in 6:30am I could hardly believe it myself. Everyone was just laughing and chatting and playing around. ‘Twas like we could hardly talk because of so much laughter. Truly, one of the most unforgettable Christmas vacations ever Unfortunately, I had to leave before the New Year since our flight back to Cebu was scheduled on the 30th of December. I really think it would have been nicer if I spent the dawn of 2010 in GenSan. You know, for a change. Anyway, our New Year celebration in Leyte wasn’t that great because the heavy downpour was hindering us to enjoy the fireworks outside. Usually, we stay outside our roof at 12am. Thanks to rain, this year we didn’t because the coldness was too much to bear Oh well!!!!

Anyway, here are the selected GenSan photos I promised on the previous post:

122309 - Arrival

122409 - Christmas Eve

122509 - Christmas Day

122609 - @ JMIX (around 12am-2am)

122609 - @ Babe's (around 12pm-3am)

122709 - Grace, singing Poker Face

122809 - @ Arnevel resort

122909 - movie marathon with DJ and Kuya JP (final night)

So picture-ful, I know

And I still haven’t returned your comments I’ve been pretty busy since the first day of school this year. But I’m sure to find time after this week

Hastalavista, GenSan!

Aimee — Thu, 31 Dec 2009 10:09:36 +0000

Hey hey hey!

I just arrived here in Maasin City, Southern Leyte this morning, at around 2am. It was, by far, the most fun-filled Christmas vacation ever. Woohoo! General Santos, I would surely come back to you

Oh well! I still can’t write everything here since I have limited Internet. But let me just share a Viddler video, the last one I watched with Kuya Jaypee, before leaving GenSan. Really funny and amazing. this video is pretty long. You probably have seen this already, but I know there are other people out there who haven’t

I really should make a round-of-applause to Jeff Dunham. He is great. And Achmed is so funny, isn’t he?.. Dead Terrorist, huh!

I downloaded this on the laptop because I want to watch it all over again Good thing I found a copy on viddler.com, another video hosting site like Youtube. It’s equally great. Plus, I love the interface. Ha ha! Small businesses can also benefit from Viddler, which makes it great.

Anyway, since I don’t intend to make this entry long, let me just share to you this…

Merry Christmas

Hello everyone!!! I’m sorry I wasn’t able to update and return comments But don’t worry, I will when I get home. (I am blogging only in the Net cafe).. I am staying here in General Santos City for the Christmas break. I arrived here with my father, two aunts, and a cousin last December 23. The one-hour flight was boring. I would have liked it better if I was near the window, at least I could see the clouds outside. And the top-view of everything

But, it’s okay. There were lots of delectable dishes here. And the silverware and dinnerware sets are colorful. Ha ha ha! I feel like we’re a super lazy being since all we did was sleep-eat-sleep-eat-blah2x. And we always have Coke. Oh God! This is so unhealthy. Plus, their drinking glasses are big.
We also went to the mall yesterday, the KCC Mall of GenSan. It was were Manny Pacquiao celebrated his birthday recently. And in going home, we passed by his mansion. It was just along the road, and near my uncle’s home also I was amazed by the design. And it’s huge. The gate also is lalalove Almost perfect.

Also, we’re going to the newly-opened Robinson mall tomorrow to watch Avatar. FINALLY!!! After lotsa times of postponement

Avatar poster

Anyway, I will be posting photos soon. I’m afraid this will be my only update until I get home.

Please see Silverware Wikipedia.

Merry Christmas everyone :)) Have fun and stay safe

Team Hoyt

Aimee — Thu, 17 Dec 2009 11:36:10 +0000

So Team Hoyt is a very inspirational story of a father, Dick Hoyt, and his son, Rick Hoyt, who compete together in marathons and triathlons across the country. What makes them extraordinary is that Rick has a disease. He is physically disabled. (I know this is pretty late, but I just learned this recently. Thanks to Facebook.)

Well, at first, I thought it was his father in the wheelchair. But I eventually found out that it was Rick, and it was his father running.

I don’t really know how to put it in words, so I will show the video instead….

So what do you think? Isn’t it extraordinary?

Well, I really do think it is beyond inspirational. The video moved me so much that I cried watching the whole thing

The Devil Wears Dirt

Aimee — Thu, 17 Dec 2009 11:11:35 +0000

It’s Christmas once again And you know what’s the best way to start it? Oh well, you probably have different answers.
But, I think, the best way to start the Holiday season is a clean slate, not only with ourselves but also with our home. You see, we have a new house. Although it isn’t finished yet, I can already picture out myself living there and, you know, chasing the dogs. Ha ha ha, silly me. But, yes, we have lots of dogs at home because my mum thinks that when she gets older (you know, the golden years) and when we (my sister and I) have our own family already, dogs will become her playmates, or something like that.

And as you all know, dogs leave furs on the couch, on the floor. Well, basically, everywhere. Therefore, it’s really convenient to use vacuums as they clean pretty well. Or other home-related cleaners, as long as it’s easy to use because we don’t have much helpers at home, and my mum does most of the cleaning.

So, I was searching for vacuums online and I found this site where home-cleaning products that are cheap. There was this Cyclonic with Power Hand Tool, and it only costs about $90. I was like, “seriously???” It couldn’t be that cheap. But, apparently, it is. And, mind you, the shipping is for FREE!!!! Oh my!… You wanna know what site it is, it’s Dirt Devil com. Visit their site now. As in, now.

Done? Have you browsed through the whole page? And have you noticed that they have this downloadable .pdf file? Well, obviously, I noticed it and downloaded it. It’s actually a Dirt Devil 2009 Guide to a Red Hot Online Shopping Shortcuts.

I haven’t finished reading the whole thing because I want to blog about it first. But as an overview, it’s a guide on how to save money while shopping online. So let me enumerate to you the first four ways (actually there are over 300 ways to save):

The Promo Code Tricks – They have included there how to save big with Promo Codes and how to find them.
Free Shipping and Rebates
Deal-A-Day Sites – These sites have an unbelievable deal each day. And you really have to be vigilant because the deals changes everyday.
Auctions, Outlets, and other related sites

And since today is a holiday, DevilDirt.com also has this holiday deals, such as Gifts for Her, Gifts for Him, Family Favorites, and many more Surely, you don’t want to miss this opportunity, right?
