I've been very occupied with a lot of things lately -- both work and personal related. What a year it has been! Can't believe this year is about to end, and I'm thrilled.<br />
<br />
Lately, I noticed that there's something I can't leave behind when I'm going out -- my sling bag. That's where I put everything; my wallet, my coins, my phone, my IDs. These things won't fit in my pockets so my sling bag is really useful, but the bad news is it's now damaged. I'm having a hard time carrying all my things when going out without my bag.<br />
<br />
Good thing I found a website that sells <a href="https://www.omgnb.com/bags" target="_blank">cheap bags for women</a> and instantly fell in love with their collection of pretty bags. Here are my top three favorites:<br />

That's how I would describe my life right now. You know, it's when you feel like you gave your all, but it's still not enough. What's even worse is that the problem got even bigger. SUCH IS LIFE, indeed!<br />
Anyway, this reminds me what my Chinese client-turned-friend told me...<br />

I'm struggling with my business. I never thought it would be this hard, but like what my friend said, it is a learning process. It took them eight long years before their business got successful, who knows how mine will take, right?<br />
<br />
I'm trying to be positive all the time, it's just that whenever I'm alone, unwanted thoughts like I am failure and anything similar to that seems to attack me. I know and I believe I can get through this, no matter how hard it is.<br />
<br />
Oh God, please provide me the strength I need to carry on. I have faith in You! <3Mariehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04998113258021408480noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4938030365848246442.post-41809100509610212372015-01-21T22:18:00.002+08:002015-01-21T22:18:13.207+08:00A Torrent of EmotionHi friends! It's been a while since my last post in this blog. I would just like to share this wonderful poem made by a special someone. <a href="http://www.marieclara.com/long-distance-relationship/" target="_blank">Someone that I met online</a> two months ago and eventually fell in love with. He made this poem for me. Hope you like it as much as I do! :)<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><u>A Torrent of Emotion</u></span><br />
<br />
Tremendous feeling within<br />
Powerful, like an eternal grin<br />
The sound of singing above the din<br />
<br />
Captures and holds me<br />
It cannot be sin<br />
To want to hold<br />
How can I express it so<br />
<br />

<br />
A waterfall, a torrent of emotion<br />
Perhaps an ocean<br />
Which may physically divide<br />
But cannot hide that I care for her<br />
<br />
Will never give up on her<br />
And will try my hardest to help<br />
Even when the odds<br />
Feel too great<br />
<br />
I could never hesitate<br />
For such wonderful things<br />
One must never wait<br />
As they won't be<br />
There forever<br />
<br />
Someone so much alike<br />
Is the unpredictable lightning strike<br />
The strike that opens your eyes so that I<br />
May gaze into them and see all the beauty<br />

Some people say I work too hard<br />
<br />
I agree<br />
<br />
I work too hard trying to keep my head above water<br />
I work too hard trying to impress other people<br />
I work too hard trying to suppress my emotions<br />
I work too hard trying to 'stay strong' in the face of ridicule<br />
I work too hard trying to keep my teachers happy<br />
<br />
And honestly<br />
<br />
I work too hard trying to act like I don't.<br />

So I checked <a href="http://www.maxschicken.com/" target="_blank">Max's Restaurant Online</a> and see if something may appeal to me. And indeed, I added Max's regular fried chicken in my tray and checkout. Just few minutes later, I received an e-mail that they are processing my order and I should expect a call from one of their representatives.<br />
<br />
After more or less, 20 minutes I did received a call saying that they won't be able to deliver my order since it didn't reached Php. 1,000 in total. I was a bit disappointed because they didn't say in their website that they required a minimum amount for them to deliver the order. But anyway, I dressed up even though I feel really lazy that day and went to Max's branch in my area.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<a name='more'></a>My online orders:<br />
> Max's Banana Ketchup = Php 27.50<br />
> Max's Chicken Burger with Cheese = Php 97.90<br />
> Regular Fried Chicken (Whole) = Php 438.90<br />
<b>Total amount = Php 564.30</b><br />
<br />
I told them that I would pick my order around 4:30 in the afternoon. When I get there, a crew asked me what she can do for me and I told her, I was there to pick up an online order and she guided me to a counter. The lady in the counter asked for my I.D. and showed it to her, after looking at it she then gave me a few papers/receipt to sign and so I did and I got my order. That was quick than I expected! :)<br />

I was so happy to see that they included Max's chips even though it wasn't in my order. I was pretty disappointed with the chicken's size though. I ordered a regular chicken and the picture of the chicken in their website is bigger than the one I got in my box. Good thing though, the taste is excellent and didn't disappoint! <i>Bitin nga lang!</i><br />

</tbody></table>
Oh boy! I can't help but to close my eyes while eating the chicken burger with cheese from Max's! It made me want to do an air punch but that would be an awkward thing to do in a crowded food court at the mall. Hahaha. The coleslaw, the chicken patty, the cream (or mayonnaise) and the cheese is such a good combination inside my mouth. The chicken burger's price is so worth it!<br />
<br />
I wish the regular fried chicken is much bigger than it really is though. I would still order in Max's Restaurant Online anyway. I would make sure that next time, I'd reach their minimum amount for them to deliver it in my door. :)<br />
<br />
I'd give it <b>4.5 out of 5</b> as my ratings for my overall experience with them.<br />
I hope more restaurants or fast food chains will offer delivery from online orders here in my city; Butuan.<br />

<a name='more'></a>The trip was pretty fast if we compare it to before's travel time by sea coming from Nasipit and bound to Manila. Before, it takes 3 days and 2 nights to reach Manila if you choose sea travel.<br />
<br />
Actually, it's fun to travel by sea (as long as the weather is fine) than via air but, air travel is much faster but kinda expensive (unless it's a promo). Why sea travel is fun, you may ask. Well, 2GO's St. Leo The Great vessel has a spa and salon on board, a ballroom, karaoke room, dining area and a convenience store. How awesome is that?!<br />

In our itinerary, meals are included (breakfasts, lunches and dinners) but some of the passenger said that meals are not included in their itinerary. So, I guess it depends on your travel agent. I booked our tickets online and I got a great deal. I chose Mega Value (the cheapest) room because it's fun to interact with people from different walks of life, just be sure to be extra cautious with your belongings because there are a lot of people in Mega Value rooms and you can't just trust anybody you just met there. It's for your own safety, trust me. :)<br />

Island Fiesta is the "canteen" in the vessel. This is where you can order different kind of dish, drinks and etc. Well, if you're on a budget, I have to warn you... the prices (everything, as in everything) inside the ship is unbelievably high. My mother freaked out the moment she found out the price of 3-in-1 coffee there and I just told her <i>"well, you can't go out and find a<b> sari-sari</b> store." </i>Hahaha!<br />

I just have to say this though... the whole ship is very alive and clean. I appreciate the crew because they always clean every corner of the ship every now and then. They also always attends to every inquiry of the passengers. But, their shower and toilet rooms really needs an upgrade even though they clean it every minute.<br />

I hate that the toilets their doesn't really flush plus their shower rooms are showing the need of revamping, REALLY! One time I showered, I actually saw a cockroach crawling in the wall and little insects crawling near the shower. That really needs attention, right?<br />
<br />
And also, to those passengers who just leave their sh*ts in the toilet rooms and isn't bothered of the thought that another person will actually use the toilet. This kind of people badly needs to undergo a seminar! These people needs to wake up! I just feel bad for the crews that will have to clean up other people's mess. Just imagine if you were in their shoes, right? Sucks, BIG TIME!!<br />

You can't charge your gadgets inside your room, unless you're in the cabin or state room (the expensive ones). So, if you're in the tourist, super value and mega value rooms and you need to charge your gadgets, you have to go to the charging station. You need to drop a five peso coin to start charging. Your five peso will take up to ten minutes only.<br />
<br />
Guess what? I've already dropped sixty pesos in total and my phone haven't even reached 30% of battery.<br />

You can't find signals in your phone in some rooms inside the ship. If you need to send a text or need to call, you have to go to the upper deck to be able to do that. You can see endless view of the ocean there. ;)<br />
<br />
All in all, the experience here is okay and I would definitely travel via sea with 2GO again, if given the chance.<br />

All the paper works, moving out and arranging tours has been a punishment but also a blessing. I am very thankful, but I think I need a break too.<br />
<br />
I just want to chill, sleep, read a book somewhere peaceful. No deadlines to catch, no bills to think about and no worries at all. But that's just impossible. It will just be a dream, well, at least for now.<br />

<a name='more'></a>Despite my toxic life, I try to be silly every now and then around with the kids. It's kind of relaxing to hear their giggles and laughter. I feel like I'm the most amazing big sister in the world when that happens.<br />
<br />
God knows how much I wanted to break down and just cry. But I'm thankful that He always provides me with strength to carry on with whatever I do. I am still blessed, and so are you! :)Mariehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04998113258021408480noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4938030365848246442.post-54291800273272631452014-08-06T00:11:00.000+08:002014-08-06T00:11:16.729+08:00Budget-Friendly Homecoming DressesYou can be fabulous this homecoming even if you are in a tight budget.

Are you going to the homecoming and still don't have a dress for yourself but in a tight budget? I would suggest that you should go to <a href="http://www.ihomecoming.com/" target="_blank">ihomecoming.com</a>, check out the dresses that you like with an amount that won't hurt your entire budget.<br />
<br />
Anyway, I like this dress. This is perfect for the ladies who have slim figures! Body-hugging dresses for the win! :) It is also available in color black and white.<br />

There are times that I have to make a decision, or just simply to choose over something. Most of the times, I can't choose or decide, especially when my decision is needed urgently.<br />

<a name='more'></a>My cousin asked me the other day of what I usually do when I have to decide and I can't decide. That made me think, actually. Whenever I am in such situation and they keep pressuring me, it stressing me out. So, to calm my mind, it's either I go for a run or sometimes, I just do the laundry. After I finished my run or my laundry, I feel relaxed and I can then think straight.<br />
<br />

Homecoming is a fun event where you can actually walk down the memory lane again with some people you actually spent your high school, college and university days. This event just happens once, if not every year, so why not be fab and have fun, right?<br />
<br />

My bones are hard as a rock. My brother still laugh at me every time the memory flashes in his mind when there was a time she saw me and my classmates rehearsing in our school. What a bully!</div>

Well, I still remember it very clearly.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<a name='more'></a>When I was still in the third grade, I was asked by my teacher what I want to be when I grow up and I said, with no hesitation, that I want to be a teacher like her. She asked me why I want to be a teacher then I told her that I like to be in school always.<br />
<br />
And on the fourth grade, my new teacher asked me what I want to be when I grow up and I said, I want to be a president of the Philippines and she was amazed. That time, I had no idea how hard it is to be the commander-in-chief of a country.<br />
<br />
I just realized that I don't fit to become a teacher. I am very impatient and I just can't handle teaching kids. My mom always tell me that I shouldn't be a teacher because of my reflexes when I am irritated or just simply being impatient.<br />
<br />
As of now, my ambition? I am not sure. I'm just living life and going with the flow. I just make sure that I am happy and contented of everything I do.<br />
<br />
Do you still remember your ambitions as a kid? Mind sharing it? :DMariehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04998113258021408480noreply@blogger.com12tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4938030365848246442.post-50797783177155805382014-06-28T01:33:00.000+08:002014-06-28T01:33:11.023+08:00Supplies for The Boat<span style="font-family: inherit;">Whether you own a boat, work on the water or simply enjoy spending time in the water, there are some marine supplies that you might want to think about and <a href="http://www.mmimarine.com/mmi/index.php" target="_blank">shop</a> for before setting sail. Some of these items are ideal for those who own a boat as they can make cleaning and maintenance easier. An inflatable boat is something fun that you can take pretty much anywhere such as a lake or river. After getting it in the water, you can use a spray cleaner that will get the exterior clean without damaging the material. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinCKdAeQn_Aq5xuvuHh1EoQkFUFoidGzvP1YTEN1hyvepkWviF0WDox4KSfqA2juyeorgd6jOcFWNYxIBl2XMhC0Xm_DDWBvGOXvclQFHrHfDfBGCWW3SKyB9b3idnVHdgQhh_bqLCZlFO/s1600/boat.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinCKdAeQn_Aq5xuvuHh1EoQkFUFoidGzvP1YTEN1hyvepkWviF0WDox4KSfqA2juyeorgd6jOcFWNYxIBl2XMhC0Xm_DDWBvGOXvclQFHrHfDfBGCWW3SKyB9b3idnVHdgQhh_bqLCZlFO/s1600/boat.jpg" height="300" width="400" /></a></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Gas cylinders are also a good idea if you have a boat that is powered by a motor. You will need to have an extra supply of gas if you plan to be on the boat for an extended period of time so that you can get back to shore. The best thing to do is to get a boat kit. This will have the basic items that you will need to care for the boat in one case. If you plan on staying on the boat for a few days or if you plant to have several people on board for a celebration, you can get a freezer or refrigerator for snacks and drinks. A small freezer can also be used to store fish if you like to sink a line or two in the ocean or on a lake.</span>Mariehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04998113258021408480noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4938030365848246442.post-75331390729343753552014-06-25T08:47:00.001+08:002014-06-25T08:47:14.801+08:00Where Are The Red Days?I've had a back and forth trip to the hospital within this month. First reason was because of my nonstop back pain (symptoms of UTI) and secondly, I inserted this topic to my doctor; I rarely get my monthly menstruation. Since every check-up, my mom is always there with me, she asked my mom if she experienced the same when she was just my age and she said yes. <div>

<a name='more'></a>He's no gynecologist so he asked me to go see a gynecologist about this issue. They will probably give me a pill for my menstruation to be normal. But, he suggested not to take any pill for my menstruation since this might give my hormones a hard time adjusting and there's possibility I might go crazy (mental). That scared me, so I didn't. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Still, it worries me. My last menstruation, as I can remember, was last February and no, I'm not pregnant. Why would I be? My boyfriend is in Prague. Hahaha.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
It scares me because according to what I have read, women who don't get their monthly visitor is very at risk for cancer.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div>
Another thing, by the way... every time my menstruation is about to come or during the menstruation, I don't experience any pain (like dysmenorrhoea). My mood swings during those times is at its higher level. That's all. I'm still scared of all the risk that it has, for me. </div>

<br />
<a name='more'></a>My favorite part of doing the laundry is hanging them to dry. I like hanging/arranging them from the biggest to the smallest. I feel very happy seeing my laundry hanging there in a nice position. I feel that I've fulfilled something amazing. Yea, that's how shallow I am. Small things makes me happy. :)Mariehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04998113258021408480noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4938030365848246442.post-24907009960350825922014-04-18T11:44:00.000+08:002014-04-18T11:44:03.589+08:00Show Your Personal Style and Get $10<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">

<br />
Anyway, as I was browsing my <a href="https://www.facebook.com/mthoughts" target="_blank">Facebook</a> account I found the pictures when I was doing some tour guiding stints earlier this year. What a great experience it was!<br />

<a name='more'></a>Yes, that's me (I know, I am fat) and behind me is the <a href="http://www.bislig-tours.com/Enchanted-River.html" target="_blank">Enchanted River</a>. It is so blue, so clear, so cold and just amazing. Especially during 12:00 pm, the fishes comes out when they play an operatic kind of music and they feed them. The river must be cleared and there should be no people in there during the feeding time. If by any chance that you missed the feeding time, you can always request the staffs to play the music and feed the fishes but, you have to pay for the food that they'll give to the fishes. It's just so enchanting to see!<br />

My favorite part of the tour is the island hopping in <a href="http://www.bislig-tours.com/Britannia-Islands.html" target="_blank">Britannia Group of Islands</a>. Seeing the clear sea, the powdery white sand islands is just so relaxing. I don't even wanna go home.<br />

I'm back! :) Yesterday, I was finally discharged from the hospital. I was confined for four days and three nights. The cause? I had fever (nonstop) for one week and severe back pain. I really despise staying at the hospital but, do I have a choice?<br />
<br />
I can go on for forever of why and what I despise being in the hospital. First, I hate injections, especially the one done in the dextrose... it hurts so much! >.< Second, the hospital food. Sucks, BIG time!<br />

<a name='more'></a>Anyway, at first I thought I have over fatigue because I've been working nonstop. But, the doctor said I have urinary tract infection. But, what really worries me is that I have a low white blood cell count. I am afraid I might get leukemia because I have a cousin that has it and it scares me. Not another cancer, please! :(<br />
<br />
I am now out of the hospital. Feeling a lot better and I have medicines to maintain. I am very thankful to my mother because she never left me and she looked after me 24/7. I am still her little girl, she said even though I am already 20 years old and I will remain to be unless I get married.

<a name='more'></a>Today, I woke up with a very bad headache and it automatically turn my mood into beast mode. Especially, the kids are very noisy outside. But, when I saw what makes them very busy and noisy, the beast mode was turned off automatically.<br />
<br />
They were all (my siblings and some kids in our neighborhood) so busy making kites. Instead of being mad, I smiled. Making kites reminded me of the good old days when my late grandfather was so fond of making kites for me. I really miss him every second of my life.<br />
<br />
So, summer is the children's time for kites. They look very happy making it fly. It's as if, life is not very complicated. Oh, how I love listening their laughter! <3Mariehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04998113258021408480noreply@blogger.com9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4938030365848246442.post-11760176745562913642014-04-05T16:12:00.001+08:002014-04-05T16:25:46.825+08:00Budget-friendly Fashion at EricDress<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
