Confidence: How To Succeed at Being Yourself by Dr. Alan Loy McGinnis

According to this book of Dr. Alan Loy McGinnis, some people are magnets for success. They know how to "catch on the wing." Their only secret is confidence; certainty about their personal worth.

"Can you gain more self-confidence? Can you change? "Yes," says Dr. McGinnis. "You can gain a healthy self-confidence."

I am very much aware that I have a very low self-esteem. Oh! Erase that... One of the things Dr. McGinnis mentioned in this book is to never look down yourself and never ever think that you have such problem in yourself. 

Dr. McGinnis also illustrated in this book to let go of the unwanted memories of the past and to forget and forgive. Some of us have issues with our parents right? Dr. McGinnis also said to forgive our parents and just look at the bright side. We may have commit something wrong or argue with our parents, they will just hope for our own sake, ALWAYS! We should love our parents a thousand times than they love us. Yes, they get annoying sometimes, but always remember that we are much more annoying than them but they never gave up on us. It is a big factor in gaining self-confidence.

I'm an Addict!

I admit it. I am an addict. My family and friends know about this since the day they know me. YES! I AM AN ADDICT! Not a drug addict though, but addicted about Korea, Korean artists, Korean cosmetics, Korean music, Korean culture and most of all, a Korean drama addict and collector. Yes, I am.. Judge me if you like! You can't blame me.

I have collected a lot of Korean drama DVDs already and am telling you, once I have a free time, I'll watch it and I won't stop until I finished it. Mostly, to finish a whole series, it takes me two days and one night (no sleep). Addict, eh?

Went to Malaysia

I was and still very thankful that I was given the chance to attend a computer/internet marketing/web designing training in Malaysia and it was all expense paid trip of my boss and his wife. Even though I only lasted there for two days, I am very happy because I met few nice and kind Malaysian people.

I rushed on my way home because my boss told me so. One main reason is that I have my promotion letter way back home and if I can't reach home by the allotted time, I'll be fired. Haha! My boss is scary sometimes.

No One Knows I'm Here

I often feel like this. That feeling that you have done your best to make a change but still, it seems like no one notices it. No one seems to care of what you did.

Day 30 - A Picture of Someone You Miss

It is no other than my camera-freak and Japanese speaking sister. I miss her so badly! She's been with us the whole summer and she had to leave us again to go to Butuan City for her studies. She's a very smart girl.

I call her camera-freak because whenever she's the one holding the camera, the memory will be full of all her face taken. Hahaha! But, I can't deny it... She's just photogenic, unlike me! :)

One Direction Addiction

I still remember that two years ago, I'm such a fan of Justin Bieber and I'm so obsessed and like I tweet him a thousand times a day. A fan will be happy to get a reply, DM (direct message) or just even a retweet (RT!) But, I got lost my interest in him because he have changed in my own views. Maybe I'm just really not a real BELIEBER (that's what his fans call themselves). But, I assure you guys that I am a certified SMILER (a Miley Cyrus fan)  through thick and thin.

And recently, a British-Irish boy band named One Direction has got many attention worldwide and it got mine 100%! They are just amazing and they have that appeal that can get anyone's attention. Haha! Becoming a fangirl again, ain't I?

(L-R):Louis Tomlinson, Niall Horan, Zayn Malik, Liam Payne and Harry Styles

Got My Firmoo

I have been anticipating to receive my two Firmoo glasses for the last 25 days. It was shipped all the way from China to here in Philippines for me and I'm pretty sure some of beautiful blog friends got their pretty pairs of Firmoo sunglasses too. And oh yes! I got it for free. But, when I get it from the Customs office here in my place, I have to pay one hundred fifteen pesos (Php 115.00)

#SittieCatesBookContest: Why I Love to Read Books?

Hi everyone!

Ahhh. It has been a while since my last post here. Anyway, I am joining a giveaway that one of my online friend/sister is having.

I'm not really into books before because, I find it so boring. Little did I know that I will be reading and collecting them today.

Last September last year, I have been downloading and reading e-books but, I stopped it by mid of October because I don't feel reading e-books anymore. By November last year, I was asking few of my friends what are good books to read and Sittie Cates told me self-help books are good. So, I looked online and find a lot of interesting self-help books but still, I end up ordering three books; I Heart You, You Haunt Me by Lisa Schroeder, Roundabout by Rhiannon Lassiter and Prom by Laurie Halse Anderson.

Upgrading Smartphone

My Samsung Galaxy Mini S-5570

It has been a while since I got my Samsung Galaxy Mini S-5570 smartphone that I received as a gift from my employer's wife. I am a prepaid user of both rival networks here in the Philippines; Smart and Globe.

I've been watching smartphone reviews and unboxing videos in YouTube. I have thought of upgrading my smartphone. I have three phone crushes as of the moment; iPhone 4s, Samsung Galaxy Note and Samsung Galaxy S3 and S2 will do too. But I really want to stick with android phones right now as they are really amazing.

I am also planning to become a postpaid user, either in Globe or Smart. I just need to be wise and practical enough to choose which network I should choose, right?

In Globe Postpaid, I can get Samsung Galaxy Note for free under Plan 2499 which I get 7 freebies like, Free call & text to GLOBE/TM, Free call & text to OTHER NETWORKS, Free INTERNATIONAL Call & Text, Free MOBILE SURFING and Free My Super ONE.

3 Days Vacation to Nasipit

After a year of waiting, I was finally able to go home. I mean HOME; the place where I was created, grew up, made friends and stuffs.

It wasn't really planned. Me, my mom, siblings and cousins (who live with us) was forced to go home because, my grandma was really crying over the phone and saying: "My time is near. I'm getting old and dying and I haven't seen all of you for ages." That's why and I really missed my Lola so much so we went home!

From Bislig City going to Butuan City will take seven to eight hours travel by bus. The fare cost around PHP240 - PHP250.

So, we left Bislig City at 4:00 in the afternoon and reached Butuan at 11:00 in the evening.We still haven't had our dinner by then and we are all starving. I forced mom to go to Jollibee for us to have our dinner and since there's no Jollibee in Bislig, the kids were extremely happy.

Posed before getting our order.
