National Earth Hour

I know it's kinda weird but I'm feeling a little excitement in me this coming evening because of the national total-brown out. I can't wait to experience how the Philippines react to this Earth hour.

March 28, this 8.30-9.30 evening, electricity nationwide will be shut off to encourage people to conserve electricity and reduce the greenhouse emissions that cause global warming. This is to raise awareness about climate change. At least, for just a short moment, we may contribute a little for the saving of our planet.

Tonight, I'm really expecting a new-year-like-environment wherein people are gonna make their noise because electricity will be turned off and at least, for a bit period, all of us will become one as we cooperate to help save the mother.

My Sixth Sense


Last night, I took up the "What is your 6th Sense" quiz on Facebook and I was kinda impressed with the result.

And the result is...

My 6th sense is Clairaudio and it says that:

"Sound is your sixth sense. You're probably not surprised since you might be found rockin' a pair of headphones at anytime. So how does this relate to your inner voice? A person gifted with clairaudio (clear hearing) is someone very in-tune with sounds. Often a clairaudio "hears" their inner voice or gut feeling. For example, if you were about to do something you might regret (like, hooking up with your best friend's sweetie), you might hear a voice telling you to watch out or reevaluate your choice. You might also hear music at odd times or someone speaking even when no one is around (or when you dream). According to some, you might even be able to hear voices when someone is passing or has died. Now, we probably wouldn't advertise the fact that you hear voices, but you have to admit, it's pretty cool..."


I was satisfied with the result because I just realized last night that it was 80% true. I'm unconscious of the hearing stuff at first. That's why most of the decisions I make don't make me regret for having done them. Most of the times, I remember things through their sounds even though I just first heard the sound and not listening to it but hearing it, when it plays back to another scenario, it now sounds familiar that digs the memory of my mind where and when did I heard the sound. And of course, I'm an ultimate music lover that's why people around me usually see me having earphones. However, what intrigues me is the line that says I can hear voices of the dead. I don't know if I heard one or I'm just unaware of it. I want to experience hearing the dead because I'm a little bit curious of their voices.

Anyway, if you want to discover yours, just try it on Facebook. Locate the quizzes link and click the "What is your 6th sense" quiz and you'll surely be surprised and fascinated with the result.

At Last!!!

After the hell week of lining and rushing from one office to another for the clearance signing, overnighting at the house of my groupmate for 3 consecutive nights for our tons of computer-related projects, and wasting lots of money for printing paperworks and for the transportation fees, at last!, it's all over for this semester!

Hahayzzz...It's really a big relief for me and my fellow students. I thank the Lord, thy God, for helping me for the completion of these school requirements.

And now, the days of enjoyment and relaxation shall begin...



Tomorrow, we'll have again our Samal Escapade. I hope that this one may be more fun than the previous ones. I'm so want this summer break to come because my uncle just bought the complete season 3 episodes of Heroes. I just so wanna see it.
Moreover, I'm so excited to relive my used routine every class-less days - to stay awake very late at night and to wake up every noon time. That's what I consider life.Hahahaha...


By the way, I would like to thank all of my professors except some for...I don't know why. Just thank you. And to all of my groupmates in all the subjects for the big help.

Happy Summer Vacation to all!
Happy Araw ng Davao!
Enjoy!

Who Wants to be a Millionaire?



What does it take to find a lost love?
A. Money
B. Luck
C. Smarts
D. Destiny

A very hard question to answer for people who are truly in love. Money, luck, smarts, or destiny - which is the best one?

Before I start, let me apologize for not posting any posts for one or two weeks because it's our final term for this semester already and I, with my university-mates, am so busy making and doing our semesteral-ender requirements including signing of clearance and making and defensing/presenting our IT-related projects.

Uhm...Okay...Here I go...




Last week, February 28, we, my family, watched the 81st Academy Awards (Oscar) best picture film, the Slumdog Millionaire, because we were so intrigued why it won several awards. And we have concluded that it's worth the Oscar.

While watching, we haven't felt a single second boredom in the movie. You will surely watch every moment of the movie, every scene, action, and line. It's a full packed movie which contains the life of Jamal, the main protagonist, his love story, the picture of the present India, and the mentality and manners of the Hindus. The story is realistic and fun !




The story took place when Jamal joined the Indian version of "Who Wants to be a Millionaire". There, the excitement started - How he found her lost girl-friend (not girlfriend), why and how he became a millionaire even though he is only a slumdog who is under-educated because he didn't even reached high school, and how abused are the children in India. It also implicates brotherly love, childhood friendship, survival in a City of poverty, and crime modus superandi.




In addition, the proverb, Experience is the best teacher, may be a theme of the movie; You don't have to be rich or scholastically educated just to be a millionaire. Even a mouse can be a lion in a dream.





All in all, it's 8.8/10 for me. It's really worth the awards and worth watching. A great, fascinating Indie film. We Filipinos can really reflect and relate with the movie. Just watch the movie and you can choose the answer to the question above depending on how you interpreted the last part of the movie.

So what do you think it does take to find a lost love?
