He is bad news

I tried to love you. I loved you. But then I guess, all I really want right now is friendship. I want to keep you, but I'm not sure if I want to marry you someday, or build a family with you someday. I guess you're just not my missing piece.

Fifty Shades of Grey Casting

This is just my suggestion. Don't freak out.

Christian Grey

Anastasia Steele

Katherine Kavanagh

Jose

Elliot Grey

Mrs. Robinsons

I think this is a very interesting cast!

Like walking in high heels (Confidence)

"If you don't have it, then fake it. If you fake it, and people believe that you have it, then who's to say you don't have it?"

People who's got confidence can take over the world. Sometimes, that's just what it gets to be on top. Some people have all the knowledge and skills and talent, but lack confidence - and all the rest get buried six feet under.  I honestly believe that it is confidence that takes one person from point A to B. It what's get you somewhere.

Rule # 1 If you don't have it, then fake it
This is my favorite rule of the bunch. Anybody can fake confidence, given the fact that everybody's good at faking. Come one, we all have the gift of that! (grin)

Rule # 2 Be knowledgeable
Nothing beats the confidence of someone who speaks about something and knows it too well even with eyes closed.

Rule # 3 Shut the rest of the world out
Play blind on things distracting and concentrate on the one thing that you're doing.

I only have three, but they work a lot for me. Confidence.

Things I want to do this summer

Guess it through pictures!

A Three

I think I shall never see

I grade as lovely as a three

A three that's earned with blood and sweat

When failing is a serious threat

A three I've asked from God all day

Knowing prayer is the only way

Exams are taken by fools like me

But only God can give a three

cred to the UP :)

We went swimming! (late post)

@ photo: I'm just somewhere there!

01/23/2012 I went to Dasma with four of my friends (all girls). I am not exaggerating when I say it was so much fun! It's been a long time since the last time I swam to my heart's content. At this outing, I really got much of 'stroking and full body hydration'. Water! water! water! I've never enjoyed water this much!  I loved everything about water that day.

BTW, before I we were gone swimming, we went to a country club that really looks like some place I went to spend the rest of my money when I become rich, but then, we didn't took much pictures.

I'm planning to come back to Dasma next month even if I'm alone. I just want to make it a habit to swim every month for exercise, and I can't wait!

An Afternoon Talk with Ricky Lee (late post)

     The rain poured for a busy Monday morning. I stayed at my tambayan the whole morning and went to school after lunch. The fact that I thought it's an ordinary lecture day in class, I didn't bring my camera. Later, I found out that we were having an informal meeting with the nationally famous script writer and novelist, Ricky Lee.

     I've seen him in the promotional pictures of his books - a guy about his early fifties with glasses. I imagined him to be blabber and loud when he speaks. However, later did I found out that he was soft-spoken. What is true to my expectations is that he is substantial. 

     If you don't know him and haven't read any of his books, seeing him the first time wouldn't make you think that the man in front of you is big shot. 

     Then he begins to talk. He tells us about his life, as an adopted child, he really felt like an outsider, that life was distorted for someone like him. That's where he claims he gets inspiration for the things he writes.
