right. i finally decided to start blogging on the site i bought for myself. even if its not yet finished. i have been busy being christmas season and all. oh yeah, i have been lazy too. i will get to finishing it. some day. i was planning to finish it before 2006 but i don't think i would be able to. i was supposed to make a christmas theme but i didn't get to do it. hmm.. bleh.
i had a very busy week. took lots of pictures but can't show them right now bcoz my computer can't install my bluetooth. i had the pc reformatted by Kuya Benj on the 2nd night of Simbang Gabi. Simbang Gabi was fun. This year's theme is "Christmas Around the World". each group was assigned with a corresponding country and should portray how that country celebrates Christmas. i was in Young People so our country is Japan. My friends are years younger than me and they were grouped in Junior Worship/Sunday School 2 and their country is China. the Seniors was Philippines, married couples was England, Sunday School 1 (kids) was Mexico. Our daughter churches from Laguna and Valenzuela were Korea and Indonesia. so it was fun. in our church, each group made a booth look like something about the country. the best booths there were China, Philippines, and ours, Japan. Philippines won best booth although a member from Laguna made theirs. The last night of our Simbang Gabi was also our Christmas party since Christmas is a Sunday. our members from Laguna and Hulo came for the final program. we were given a chance to perform on how the countries celebrated their Christmas. so it was supposed to be like skits or plays. China, Japan, and Korea prepared skits while Mexico and Philippines danced. England had a combination of a little acting and like a song interpretation. or whatever its called. Indonesia just sang. Winners are, England in 3rd, Japan in 2nd and China in 1st. it was ok that we only got 2nd place, we even thought we would be in 3rd and was ok with it. we really had fun that night. Yesterday was Christmas. we went to churhc early and finished early. Faith and I with our other cousins, went to our relatives houses and their relatives to wish them a Merry Christmas. after that, we headed back to church and had lunch. my mom left last night for San Francisco. late that night we had a party with church friends and had loads of fun. i was happy because i was invited. we played games and exchanged gifts and really, really fun. the kids ganged up on me and voted me as president for next year's event. Lmao. i hope i can make it work really fun like this years party. i don't want to disappoint them. but i don't have to worry about that now since i have a whole year ahead of me before that day comes. MERRY CHRISTMAS! ^^
it is irritating that my computer is infected with a virus that eats up my hard disk's free space. it comes back when i restart the computer, but still loses the free space little by little. it would be hard to work when at a point my programs would not be working properly because of the virus. argh. it's time for reformat. i told kuya Benj about my problem and we decided that he'd come over next week to fix it. after we talked i texted him asking if he's available tomorrow because i can't wait that long. and that i felt like crying because my lovable computer is infected. huhuhu.. and he's coming over tomorrow! YAY!
this morning i decided to go to the gym. since it's Christmas vacation and i've been wanting to get out of the house and do something, the gym was the place to go to. i walked for 30mins on the threadmill and when i got down, i felt like i was floating. i rested for a bit and waited for the belly dancing class. hehehe.. damce belly! dance! anyway, the instructor arrived late but we still had fun dancing and bending blah blah blah.. i was so tired and my feet were hurting.. i was hoping to attend the hiphop class but instead, there was a taekwondo dance class. i headed for the locker room and my mom's friend invited me to join her in the taekwondo thingy and i said yes. after like 20mins i quit because i couldn't take it anymore. my feet were killing me! and i just wanted to flop down somewhere. i took a shower thinking i would go home and watch t.v. bwahahaha! while i was tying my shoes, i saw Donita Rose! OMG! my chance to take another picture.. i smiled at her and said hi, and she did the same. i finished tying my shoes hoping to catch her and have our pictures taken. but, when i peeked around the corner where i thought she was, she was gone. NYUUUU!!! i missed her. anyway, there's prolly another time where i would see her. its the gym, she'll be back someday. /gg
at the moment i am sending some of my "important" files to my e-mail for back-up. i was planning on burning then which would be soooo much quicker but i ran out of CD-R's waaaaaaaa.... poor me.. anyway, i had to zip em up and send them through e-mail which is taking really long.. oh well, what to do.. p.s. my own is now online but still need to fix some things by the looks of it, my 100th post on this blog is going to be my last.. ^^
i should be working on my own blog now. but i am not in the mood to do so.. but since it would be Christmas vacation, i may have the time and energy to do so. hahaha.. not that anybody visits me anyway, i only have a few online friends who do as such.. anyway, for people who visit my blog, thank you! ^^

la lng.. dunno what's up with my title but yeah.. whatever.. so far my fingers hurt from trying to learn how to play.. im doing ok, like i can play songs from the hymns our church uses in chords of G, D, and A most likely and some in E, Em, D7, and C. but i have to pause to switch my fingers. im having a hard time shifting from C to D/G or any other chord. i know B and F but my fingers can't quite reach the right strings and i can't hold them down. need more practice. i wanted to learn since i was in hs but i was too lazy, my mom bought me a guitar that i never had time to use. a few months ago i kept bugging some people to teach me how but i was not that "into" it at that time. Last Sunday i finally knew how to strum s i continued my "lessons" and now im doing pretty good which needs more practice. i already bought my own host and domain and finished the site for my mom's sideline. /gg i was planning to take the name online.com but it was not available. tried other different names till i came up with keeping-the-faith.com, it's too long but it sounded good at that time. i bought the host and domain Last Saturday, the 3rd, and had the hosting by monday. the domain took longer, which was activated like thursday. then yesterday, i though of a better name that would suite me but it doesn't suite for a church. (i was planning on making a site for the church thus coming up with the keeping-the-faith domain.) *sigh* im still contemplating if i shall continue my blog on that host/domain or buy a different one for myself. then i thought that i should have named that after our church then it would be like my donation.. my work for the benefit of our friends/churchmates who are in different countries now. oh well.. its still a good name for the church. long though. i might get a different host/domain for myself. im still thinking how to get it because i know my mom would prolly get mad at me again. *gotta find ways* i was thinking of trying how wordpress works on a host not from my pc, and i was having a hard time accessing it.. im doing something wrong.. my brain needs time to rest.. Finals are coming and ill worry about my hosting thingy next week, when finals are over.. wish me luck! Avisala! :)
i was listening to the radio earlier and heard the DJ talk about the song 12 Days of Christmas. apparently there's a hidden message. i searched for it and found an article about it. "The 12 Days of Christmas" was originally published as a Christmas Carol in 1780. But some say its origins go all the way back to the 16th century when Catholicism was banned in England and Ireland. It was a time when Catholics of the British Isles needed the French Catholics to help them find ways to teach their faith to the little ones in secret. Using an old French children's song, "the 12 Days of Christmas" was born. During the time when practicing the Catholic faith in Ireland could get you thrown in jail (or even executed!), this song was a way for people, especially youngsters, to learn and remember their faith through song, without letting English onlookers know they were singing about their faith. The gifts in the song are symbolic of specific beliefs in the Catholic faith and "my true love" represents God. So what did those silly-sounding Christmas gifts symbolize? * The "twelve drummers drumming" symbolize the twelve points of doctrine in the Apostle's Creed. * The "eleven pipers piping" symbolize the eleven faithful apostles. * The "ten lords a-leaping" symbolize the Ten Commandments. * The "nine ladies dancing" symbolize the nine Fruits of the Holy Spirit (sometimes also listed as the nine classifications of angels). * The "eight maids a-milking" symbolize the eight Beatitudes. * The "seven swans a-swimming" symbolize the seven gifts of the Holy Spirit, the seven Sacraments. * The "six geese a-laying" symbolize the six days of creation. * The "five golden rings" symbolize the first five books of the Old Testament, better known in the Catholic Faith as the Pentateuch. * The "four calling birds" symbolize the four Gospels...Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. * The "three French hens" symbolize Faith, Hope and Charity, the three greatest theological virtues. * The "two turtle doves" symbolize the Old and New Testaments of the Holy Bible * And "a partridge in a pear tree" symbolizes the Messiah, Jesus Christ.
FINALLY! the photos were sent to me.. here we go..
(L-R) Mike Defensor, me, Francis 'Chiz' Escudero
mom and i with Jun Yasay
and ofcourse, Tita Winnie Monsodthere. actually, i want to blog but im lazy. and also because i don't know what to blog about. i forgot already. i haven't slept. kewl. hahaha.
how about a sign i did for myspace comment. hmm..
and a picture i made for avatar wherever..Thursday night, Debate had their 7th year anniversary. My mom is a close friend of Mrs. Solita Monsod famously known as Mareng Winnie.
Every Thursday that my mother is in the country, she would be picked up and brought to the show. My mom is like Tita Winnie's P.A. without pay. Sometimes i come with them but for the past months i don't. Since they were celebrating their anniv that night, i decided to go.
Their guests were Mike Defensor and Chiz Escudero, Jun Yasay, Ping Lacson, and Diana Zubiri. OMG! Ashte Danaya! hahaha..
The cam whore that i am, i had to have my picture taken with them. Mom doesn't know how to use my cellphone so she asked one of the Debate girls who had their digital cams with them to take the picture. I wanted to take it with my cellphone's camera so i would have the copyright. I'm still waiting for them to send me the pictures.
But, what i have on my phone, is my picture with Ashte Danaya. bwahahaha!
When Diana was called out, i couldn't resist so i sat beside her and had mom take a picture. (that's why its so far) then mom did the same thing.
