JAMLI

I’m having what you call a sort of addiction these past few days. It’s like I can’t stay away from watching them. It is kind of amazing really because I have not had this kind of attachment for so long and you would not think that at my age I would still be hooked to watching two teenagers and what will happen to their love story, or if there ever will be a love story between the two of them.

I am talking about James Reid and Ann Li (Li YiShuan) of Pinoy Big Brother Teen Clash 2010. At first It was not even Ann that I wanted to pair with James, it was Tricia. After the episode of Tricia’s birthday on Primetime, I felt pity for her because of what was done to her, especially that it was her birthday. It was kind of romantic how James decided to attend her party (without his best bud Bret who decided to join Devon’s party) and accompany her on what was turning out to be one of the worst Birthdays of her life.

The next day, with nothing on my hands, I decided to browse youtube for more videos of James and Tricia (I did that before but it was for Melai and Jason because I found them cute as well but not as addictive as these two teensters). I found a few but none of those really made me think that there was something going on between them. What surprised me though is the number of videos that came up when I searched for James only. Most of those videos were with Ann Li and so it got me curious. It only took one video and I was hooked. At first I thought maybe it was because of the video editing and the music (Statue by ‘lil Eddie was really a great choice) that was why the video was really cute and heart warming. But then, as I watched all of their videos, I could feel that there is something between the two of them, I don’t know if they realize it as well or not. They were really warming up to me. And so having said that, I started to watch PBB Livestream almost the whole day, everyday, turning my laptop off only when I go to sleep.

To be honest, at first I didn’t really find Ann that pretty and interesting (as I said, Tricia was more interesting to me before). When she was first nominated, I even kind of hoped that she would be evicted instead of April (I found April really hot). Nothing interesting was shown of Ann in every PBB episode that I watched so far before Tricia’s birthday. But then, as I got to know her personality through Live stream, I started to genuinely like her. I also started to become annoyed with Tricia by the way, what with her somewhat malicious remarks spoken in Visayan (I could understand her since I speak Visayan myself) directed I believe to Ann (because of Jealousy probably). Of course, most of the people who get to watch Tricia in Live Stream will probably be able to understand my fading interest and growing dislike in her and so I will not expound more.

Going back to Jamli, the more I watched Live stream, the more I was convinced that they look good together, and they look happy together. It’s like one seeks the other out, unknowingly. There was never a day that these two did not spend time with each other, even if it was only for a few minutes. It’s like they have created a special bond between the two of them. They’re not flirting with each other, but when you focus on their actions (especially with the way James looks at Ann), you feel like giggling on the inside because of these two. It’s like they’re two people who have been with each other’s company for so long that how they act around each other is so natural. Ann’s unconscious sweetness to James and the look of Tenderness on James’ eyes when he looks at Ann is so epic, haha! Well, at least for me, it is. What is frustrating though, is that despite how these two act around each other, no genuine confession has been made by either of them. And so without a confession about how one feel’s about the other person, the only label you can put on the kind of relationship that they have is friendship. An extra close friendship maybe and that is how far I can go (even if I want it to be more). Maybe that is what makes it so exciting to watch, the mystery of what they have.

The incident closest to a real confession was the conversation Jenny had with Bret, Ryan and James. Sadly, the topic was changed and we were left hanging. Despite the hugs and kisses between them, we don’t have solid proof that they are romantically inclined with each other (especially nowadays that James is being unnaturally ‘touchy’ with Devon). We can only hope. And hoping is a good thing. As what Ann always tells Jenny, positive thinking will give you good results.

It’s early morning and I need to sleep so until next time. For sure I’ll still blog about them because I’m still not over being hooked.

Can’t connect wirelessly on your wireless computer?

Are you having problems connecting to your wireless network at home? Do you sometimes get frustrated when your previously working wireless pc is suddenly not online wirelessly? Here are some basic troubleshooting steps which might help you solve the problem:

‘Windows cannot configure this wireless network…’
 If you are getting this message on the Wireless Network Connection window of your XP pc, most probably the Wireless Zero Configuration utility of your pc has been stopped.
 Start the utility by clicking on the ‘start’ button on your Desktop, click on the ‘Run’ option and type in services.msc on the ‘Run’ box. Click ‘Ok’ and you will be directed to the Services Local window. Look for the utility ‘Wireless Zero Configuration’ (on the list of W services) and start it by right-clicking on the name of the utility and choosing the ‘start’ or ‘restart’ option.
 Then go to your Control Panel, double-click on Network and Internet Options or more specifically Network Connections. Look for an icon that says ‘Wireless Network Connection’ and right-click it, then choose ‘Properties’. Click on the ‘Wireless Networks’ tab and check the box that says ‘Use Windows to configure my Wireless Networks’. Click on ok and close all windows on your desktop.
 Look for the single computer icon with waves on your system tray (most commonly found on the bottom right corner of your screen). Double-click the icon and check if you see a list of available wireless networks. Click on the name of the network that you want to connect to and hit the connect button. Type in the security key of the network (if it is a secured network) and you should be good to go with that!

President Cory Aquino

Amazing how a person can move a whole nation to tears and unite everyone to pray for her healing.

President Cory Aquino has truly made a very big impact on the lives of each and every Filipino. She has shown true sincerity and compassion for a country that she loved so dearly. As President, she was a mother who nurtured a country that was struggling to stand on its own. She was grace under pressure, never losing composure despite the difficulties that faced her. In sickness, she remained unperturbed. At 75 and very sick, her faith never faltered and the strength of her character was not diminished. She was always, and will always be, an inspiration and a symbol of hope to everyone who still believes in achieving a better Philippines.

Even in death, she was still able to touch the hearts and lives of every Filipino, young and old. I hope and pray that even in her loss, we would still continue to work for a better nation. Let us not waste the sacrifices that she made for everything that she stood for.

For everything that she has done in order to achieve the good things that our country has today, she has carved a spot in the hearts of every Filipino. She will always remain loved in our hearts and minds forever.

Taking it a day at a time...

Remember my blog about the number of days that i was unemployed?

Well, I finally got tired of procrastination (wow, considering the couch potato that i am...).

Actually, it was because i was running out of money and i didn't want to ask my parents for some. So, since nothing good was happening with my job hunting online, i decided to just take every opportunity that came my way.

Monday, after mailing another application to another Manufacturing Plant, i decided to do some window shopping. When i was at the Mall, i saw a lot of people gathered at what looked like a job fair and so naturally, i went and checked it out. Turns out, it was a job fair hosted by Synnex-Concentrix (a call center). I told myself months ago that i didn't want to become an agent anymore (did i tell you i was an eRep before?), that if i had a choice, i'd rather work as something else than be a call center agent again. Why? Because i found it too stressful.

So, going back to my story...

There i was, standing near the recruitment officer, unsure of what i wanted to do with the opportunity that was presented to me. A part of me wanted to just turn around and go home but the other part (which had the louder voice) keeps telling me to not let this one pass (regardless of the apprehensions i have). I finally decided to just go ahead and submit a resume (i always keep a spare in my bag in case i see a job opportunity).

I was told to come back the next day for an interview, exam, etc. To make the long story short, i was hired. I actually had a headache after learning i was accepted for the job. I was really not excited, no feeling of exhilaration at all because i knew, or at least had some idea, of what is waiting for me if i took the job. I think the main reason i applied was because i wanted to test if i'm still capable of being hired for a call center assignment (read: i just wanted to practice my communication skills). My practical side won though. I took the job because i didn't have anything going on anyway, and i needed the money.

I'm now in my last week of training. I'm not bragging or anything, but i actually don't have difficulty absorbing the information being taught us despite the fact that i basically have ZERO knowledge when it comes to technical stuff and computer networking. It's like everything that
i hear in training, i am able to absorb/understand. That's a first time for me. I'm really amazed at how my training has been going (of course, this would not be possible without my HEAVENLY FATHER helping me all the way).

I'm still not sure if i really, really want this job. I find myself enjoying the training though, and being with the new friends i met there (my batchmates and roommates).

I've decided to just take this a day at a time and give it my best everytime.

Hot and Cold

It's been a while since i last posted an entry to this blog and now that i'm posting one, all i write about is how sick i'm feeling, boo-hoo =(

I had backaches, headaches, a runny nose and a cough. I think i even had chills the other night...

All these was making me think about A(H1N1) and if i got it or not. I googled the symptoms of A(H1N1) to check if i am experiencing all of those.

Here are the symptoms:

fever

cough

sore throat

runny or stuffy nose

body aches

headache

chills

fatigue

in some cases, one may also experience diarrhea and vomiting.

I had 5 symptoms out of 10. Now, i only have a runny nose and a cough so that is definitely an improvement, right? (well, i think it is!)

I probably just got stressed because of sudden things happening in my life (sudden decisions for a job, sudden relocation etc...). I think all i need is a little getting used to, and of course, lots of fluids and rest.

=)

humbling song

I really 'heard' this song months ago, when i was commuting to go to work. Yes, I've listened to it a number of times before but i didn't really understand what the song is all about.

Now, I finally understand it and i am humbled. It reminds me of God's Love for us, of how truly great and unconditional it is. Despite the weaknesses and imperfections that we have, it does not diminish that Love, not a bit...




A really beautiful song, i hope it touches your heart as well.

Inday

How is Inday these days?


Amo: Inday, may pulubi sa gate, paalisin mo nga!

Inday: Right away!

Inday to Beggar: Hey you putrid-smelling beggar with the diverse ambiance of scented junk that assails everybody's nostrils and poisons everyone's fresh and carbon-free lungs, please go away now!

Beggar: What? Who do you think you are? You pathetic trying hard nanny! How could you, a social climbing and very low grade mammal, underestimate a high-class beggar like me? The hell with you!

Inday: Nakakasakit ka na ah! Mam oh ayaw umalis!

=D


Inday: Hi guys! I'm flying off to London next week. I'll be there for quite a while or if permitted i'll be staying there for good na. Sorry if i didn't tell you earlier. I told myself not to tell until before i leave. Thanks for the friendship, i hope to see you all again and i'll certainly miss you all! Farewell! (text ni Inday sa mga kaibigang katulong bago mag-yaya sa UK...)
