I Dreamt I got Engaged!

Oh my! This post was really intended to be posted last Oct 14, but my oh my! I just don't have the time to post this because my brother is really such an annoyance. haha. Well, so this dream was last night (oct 13).

It still feels so surreal. The picture of my dreams are still so vivid. I got secretly engaged! lol. I know, that is so ridiculous!

It's been a tiring day, from Manila, I accompany my mom for an ultrasound. So medyo pahirapan 'cause we just commute kasi my dad won't be able to escort us because he and my brother just got home from Baguio to make run errands there. If only I could drive a car, I will! My dad already asked me if I am interested in driving and would I be willing to go to driving school? I said I would really love to drive especially in my profession: "A doctor on-call". Doctors are always on-call so it's really a must to have a car. Kung hindi lang mahal ang gasolina... Anyway, I saw really a good number of some interns in UP under the OBSTRETICS department and wow! they are watching the trailer of Twilight! haha. I know, I know, many youngsters are so hooked in Edward Cullen (including me, of course), but seeing the interns from UP watching the trailer of Twilight and going gaga about it.. uhm... that's really uhm... childish? haha. They are like high school students, getting excited to watch a chick-flick trailer.

Well, anyway, the ultrasound goes along smoothly and we have lunch at the same-old KFC, hay I am eating too much MSG(Monosodium Glutamate)! I was quite surprised that my mom give me a money, because she knew that I will be going to Rob para magliwaliw, 'cause mom's doctor are too long to wait. So hinatid ko muna mom ko sa clinic then she called and said that the doctor isn't feeling well so we were going home. Honestly, I am not in the mood in touring Rob, besides I am not basically feeling well, wala akong kasama para maglibot, so I think it will be a bit lonely.

This is in relation on Lota's post...haha. Pangitain na ba 'to? She says that she's inlove...haha. And I dreamt that I got engaged! So here's the whole story.

I was dancing with this very charming and romantic guy, though in my dreams it's as if I have known him very well. We dance all night long, haha. I really don't have the faintest clue on where on earth are we dancing, but I do really have a feeling that we are in Paris!!!! OMG! Yes, Paris! He even surprised me with a song, oh! his voice is like Buble, i almost cry when he sing that song! Oh my, then he propose to me! haha. and I said that "I accept your proposal but let's just make it a secret for the meantime 'cause I'm only 17! Oh my! Oh really my! I got secretly engaged!

Then, suddenly I just woke up end up very, very disappointed...haha. This is ridiculous, very ridiculous. But it feels so real, especially when we are dancing and I felt so happy. The whole feeling is "unfathomable"- no words could ever describe the bliss that I have felt. And I found out that marunong pala akong magsayaw! haha. My God! Proposing in Paris? Is anything that could be more romantic than that?

I wish dreams really do come true.....

From Blogger to Wordpress to Blogger Again!

I know this sounds crappy but I am once again back at blogger!
For those who didn't know, I moved to Wordpress for like only 2 days, comparing the user-friendly capability of both blog host service. Within that 2 days of posting some updates on wordpress, I just can't seem to have satisfaction. One thing I don't like in Wordpress is that you cannot edit the css of the template you want to use, so meaning to say you will not be able to personalize your blog, which I think is very unjustifiable because having a blog reflects your personality and will serve as your creative outlet in the net. Second, a blogger cannot put any shoutbox or tagboard in Wordpress will is quite disappointing for me. I have searched the net and found out that the reason why Wordpress don't allow such plug-ins is to avoid spam or complexity in the blog. For me, who got very used in having a shoutbox and Lota is asking for one! So, I really think it's a necessity.
On the other hand, Wordpress does offer some very attractive plug-ins that Blogger does not have and that's one of the fact why I am urged to try Wordpress. There's their category section which is very useful in organizing and the static pages, which Blogger does not have.

I asked the good-old internet, which is better Blogger or Wordpress?
Click for detailed information: BLOGGER vs. WORDPRESS

So the big question is, why I switched to BLOGGER AGAIN?

• I need some personal space on the net. Blogger templates can be costumize and there's a shoutbox! Yeah!
• Blogger is more user-friendly than Wordpress.
• I can put many blog stuffs in here, like for example the Punkymood icon and the Shelfari widget board which Wordpress cannot support.
  

Some insights I get from Blogger Lovers:

"I like Blogger.com and strongly recommend it if you're the type who does not want to tinker with the HTML/CSS templates directly (although Blogger allows you to do that too).

The current version is now much friendlier to non-techies because the settings pages are friendly and allow you to select and customize templates without altering a bit of code.

Their recent integration with Feedburner for tracking RSS subscriptions to your blog is also a plus, IMHO.

Blogger also supports mobile blogging."

"I did some research when I started a little over a year ago. I chose Blogger for my host service and have been very satisfied ever since. It is free and easy to use. Originally it was a small company (three guys having fun) but it's now a part of Google. To start you need a Google account, but that's easy if you don’t already have one. The next step is to use the Blogger wizard to set up your blog.

Here are my top 10 reasons for selecting Blogger as a hosting service:

1. It's easy to set up even with limited web experience.
2. It has a step-by-step wizard.
3. You can modify your blog easily using templates.
4. If you are programming savvy you can customize your blog.
5. They have a good online Help Center.
6. They also have a Help Group (Forum) for sharing.
7. They make improvements based on user input.
8. There are many sites with Blogger tips and tricks.
9. There are lots of other "Bloggers" with sites to visit to get ideas.
10. My blog posts get a high priority in Google searches. This is a huge plus in getting people to come to my site.

I have a one page blog on MySpace, but I use it to encourage people to come to my blog at Blogspot. If you want to see my site you can go to http://PowellRiverBooks.blogspot.com. It is a combination of an weblog and how-to site. The free link that they offer with Picasa for blog photo storage is also a great service. I have been posting lots of photos for over a year and still have 75% of my free space left. -- Margy"

And one more thing, I think BLOGGER is for people out there who just want to have a personal space on the net, where you will have the power to customize your outlet. While WORDPRESS, I think offers professional bloggers a much easier way to organize and get things done. But it all depends on what you really need. As for me, Blogger suits my taste than Wordpress. To settle down everything, just try both bloghosting services and be the judge.

Goodluck! Tata!

P.S. But for me, i will always be a true blue blogger!

Classical Music Rocks!

This post will serve as a tribute to the most beautiful music in mankind: Classical Music. Thank God there's Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, Liszt, Rachmaninoff! Just Imagine life without them?

If there is one genre that will be left on this earth, it would definitely be the classical music. I can listen 24 hours on this very soothing and appealing type of music. Maybe, some people of my age will definitely think that I am too old-fashioned or like I'm stuck at the 18th century, but I will tell you man! I rather listen to Classical Music than to those punky, noisy, screaming, emo people singing their lungs out. I can barely understand a word. Though classical music don't necessarily have the requirement to put words on their music, well in fact, I rarely hear classical music with words, the music itself still gives us an image or an illusion on what we are listening without the use of words and I think that's one of the great wonders classical music can bring.

Ok, maybe not all of us is like me. Some still prefer what fits in their personality and I give my deepest respect to them. But I am lover of timeless music. I just don't want, that the beauty of classical music will be just a memory. In fact, there are so few people whom I can have a talk with classical music. Very few! few! and really really rare to find! And I can say that I am proud of those people who enjoys classical music because they value such treasure. I like to mention my bestfriend, Arnie, because she is my partner-in-crime when it comes to music. She really loves different genres, from punk to classical. Carlota! hey, I mention your name in my blog!!! This girl, ah! I can talk to her about classical music like forever and just can't seem to stop it! We really share a great taste in music...haha! Lota, I'm glad that I'm your friend!

If you are interested in listening to classicals, then there is this only fm radio in the Philippines which really play all day long classical music and I am really glad that I personally discover it and was able to tune in to that station: 98.7 "The Master's Touch. It's plays music from the masters (Bach, Mozart, etc) and they also teach the words of the Master (God). It's really a good station, they promote growth and change by the use of classical Music and the word's of God. Very refreshing to listen to it every morning. It airs from 6:00am-12:00mn from Monday to Saturday. I really make sure that while I am getting ready for school, I tune in to 98.7! Just try it, it is really um, how can you describe the feeling, um, it's really refreshing and rejuvenating, it's like starting your day with a fresh and new mindset and it really encourages you to be optimistic and rely your new day to God. I must say, it is very uplifting.

Maybe one of the few reasons that I really dig in to Classicals is that my parents pursue and really forced? haha, me to play piano. If you want to be a professional piano player? no, I think pianist fits more haha! Anyway, if you want to be a professional pianist, you really need to stuck yourself with loads of classical pieces from different composers all over the world. And I personally realize how cunning it is to make a piece, that it needs a witty, imaginative and well, a genius intellectuality to make a timeless music. Mozart is a child prodigy, composing music, making sonatas and concertos at such a young age. Sadly, God took away his life at such a young age. Beethoven, a classical genius, deaf but can still make a beautiful music. What if he is not deaf?...haha. The "Liebestraum" by Franz Liszt, I am dying to play that in the piano, but I just can't really seem to play it nicely! haha. Lack of practice and impatience are my no.1 enemy. But it is a beautiful song, really, really beautiful, my mom says that Liebestraum makes her cry and she would be very glad if I will be able to play that song for her, sadly, I still can't finish it or I won't be able to finish it.

Well, if you really want to try some classical, here are some of my faves:
1. Liebestraum (Dream of Love)- Franz Liszt
2. La Campanella- Franz Liszt
3. Gymopedie no.1- Erik Satie
4. Piano Sonata # 8 (Pathetique)- Beethoven
5. Fantasy Impromptu- Chopin
6. Minute Waltz- Chopin
7. Marriage of Figaro- Mozart
8. Greensleeves- Mozart
9. Rhapsody in Blue- Gershwin
10. Nocturne in E Flat Major- Chopin

Happy listening! Au Revoir!

Ooh! How I miss Them so Much

I just got home from Masci and from fetching my brother at Pisay.
Grabe, nakakamis talaga ang mga friends ko sa Masci.
The moment I saw them, so much happy memories are reminisced.
I am really glad that I saw them.

I arrived in Masci at around uhm...I think past 11...haha!
I saw Dawnavie, Carlota, Artem, Majo and many to mention mascians....
So glad to finally see them!
Love you guys....

BEWARE: EXCESSIVE PICTURES

That's me and Lotsee! P.S. Lota, I really do apologize that we didn't had that much time to talk! But I am really, truly, honestly and deeply glad that we met today!


Lota and Artem (with his anime hair! haha.. si Lota may sabi niyan)


The Vanity of Miss Dawnavie Dadis















I even buy a souvenir...haha!




I hope na maulit uli yung nangyari kanina. Though di ko nakita lahat, satisfied na ako na nakita ko ang mga special friends na I truly value.

Ciao!

The BIG Comeback!!!!

Good day world and oh! good day internet. How I miss blogging. How I miss writing my thoughts. And now. I am in a big comeback!!! *Clap hands*

I am dying to get the chance to post stuffs again in this soon-to-rotten blog, but due to my "GC"-ness, well, studying will be my first priority now! Wow! Good to hear that from me and I think I made a good deal about myself. Yes! This semester has been very favorable to me, from high grades to finals exemption! Whew! After stucking my head through the pages of my beloved Biology book, I can now.... breathe!

I want to tell so many stories, but I don't know where to start. Maybe I am just so excited in blogging that I don't know what to say...haha!

After knowing my exemptions:

Kim(talking to herself): Kim, I will give you the biggest treat!
Kim(the other Kim, maybe her conscience): Really? How 'bout that!
Kim: U-oh! But there's a big problem!
Kim(the other Kim): I'm your conscience... I know that...
Kim: We are out of funds!haha!

Though I really want to treat myself for the, I think good job, maybe I will save more..haha

Someone asked me, what course am I taking?
Then I answered, I am taking Biology...
Then he asked again, ah... so you want to be a doctor?
Then I answered, Yes! (in my mind: DESPERATELY!!!)
Then he asked again, Wow! Hanggang kelan ka kaya mag-aaral?....
.........silence.......
Then I answered, Um...You what? I really don't know.

My already made up my mind, I cannot imagine myself in any profession besides being a doctor maybe a stripper will do! haha. But seriously, memorizing all those anatomical terms makes me high. I am having fun in doing it. From the occygeo-iliacus to the tendons of Achilles, memorizing those terms don't seem to be a big burden for me. Well, maybe I am lucky enough that at in an early phase of my life, I was able to realize what I truly want. My mom had this OB-GYNE, Dra. Habana, and man! I tell you, she was my idol, yeah! In fact, I can worship her. Dra. Antonia Habana is a graduate from the UP College of Med, so she's really brainy. Besides UP she also took her master's degree in Yale University and she is currently the chief surgeon I think in PGH and she will be the one will be giving birth to my mom!

I need a name... for my sister! We are thinking of "Kirsten" but I need suggestions... It must start with the letter "K", no other letters. Just put in the shoutbox or just comment or email me at kimpotjimenez@yahoo.com. Tnx!!!!

By the way, last night I am watching The Bachelor Rome and Prince Lorenzo Borghese is really a catch!


Well, too much for today, I am really happy for this first entry!

Watch out for many updates-- Foundation day in Masci and my new baby sister... soon to come! Au Revoir!

P.S. Happy 68th Birthday John Lennon! Imagine if he is still alive...
