My Reader's Digest Condensed Books Volume 5!

When I was still in elementary, my uncle influenced us to study a lot and read a lot. One Christmas he gave me and my cousins a Reader's Digest Condensed Books. There are 5 stories in the books:

• Vermillion by Phyllis A. Whitney


• Totaled by Frances Rickett and Steven McGraw


• Ike & Mamie (The Story of the General and His Lady) by Lester David and Irene David


• The Dark Horse by Rumer Godden


• Fortress by Gabrielle Lord

This is actually one of my treasured gifts since its the first book that was given to me. I finished reading all the stories in the book when I was already in high school because I was lazy and care more of playing toys rather than reading. The stories in this books is great and I learned a lot.

CDO Bloggers Wackiness

 

Every last Saturday of the month the CDObloggers meet-up and bond. Its a night full of chats and music. Last May 30,2009 the meet-up was held at Galam, Carmen. Our frustrations is that only few members arrived and even the new members that we expected to come didn't arrived. However, the night was still fun and unforgettable. Some of us dance and sing while some of us watch a movie at the extended movie room. We also took some wacky photos which makes the night more crazy.

You can also read some of my drama's and inspiring quotes at Emotera. For things I discover online I share it my online learning blog and online web guide. I also share some tourism information on world wide tourist attractions, CDO Guide and Camiguin Guide, as well as the contributer of some other travel blogs. One of my hobby is taking photos, feel free to check out my photo collections.

More about me...

• I like listening to music and dancing.


• I love to travel.


• I like taking photos and also like to be one of the photo subject. But I still need to work on my confidence!


• I'm friendly and accommodating. According to my friends.


• I am flexible. And easy to get a long since I tend to blend to the crowd and to the different personalities that I met..


• I am tactless. My weakness!


• Im the jealous type. Specially to the people who already have a special space in my heart. Good thing I now know how to hide and control this feeling.


• I am a dreamer. And constantly wishing that all of my dreams will come true.


• I am thoughtful when I don't forget.... lately I've been experiencing "Oh, I forgot" syndrome.


• I am a fighter. Someone once told me that she wish she was as brave as me in facing all her struggles and problems. I actually dont have a choice but to rise again and move on with my life's journey.


• I am emotional and a crying goddess in short Emoteragoddess. I am alone and loveless. I always cry my struggles and heartaches, this way I'll be able to pour out what I feel and ease the burden deep inside. One thing I hate of is me being so sensitive because even if I was just watching or reading crying scenes (drama) and touchy moments it already make me cry in an instant. Geezz... Am I really this open?!


• I am moody. Well, because of everything that I feel are suppressed just within me I tend to sway moods easily. This is the reason why I need an outlet to pour out whatever I want.
  


• I am caring. I know the feeling not being cared that is why I care whenever I can.
  


• I am lazy. Because I think a lot. My energy is drain from thinking that is why I just want to sleep or just seat... and think.


• I love to hangout. I always want to feel happy and forget about everything. That is why when I got a chance, I hangout with friends or even with myself. Enjoying life while I can.


• Most of all I am sweet. This is how I show my love and affection from the people that surrounds me.

GAPACU-ED Family

GAPACU-ED. The name was composed of the sections we had in high school from freshmen to seniors at Cagayan de Oro National High School.(Galileo, Pasteur, Curie, Edison)

Dubbed as the noisiest class in the whole batch, this class composes of still unique individuals. It was always been misconception that the class is made up of a happy-go-lucky, out of reach, messy and weird individuals. The truth is that the class is composes of various exceptional, extraordinary and inimitable persons who unconditionally willing to all times to share whatever they have, who are eager to give their time and advices to those in need and who utterly open to each other. Although this class is composed of different characteristics (emotional people, funny, hardworking, war-freak) you can still say that this class is united in its own right with fond memories to tag along. Memories like the crying teachers (badlungon/stubborn), the Noli/Fili and the Activities in school (minsan palpak!) the rehearsals of the musical play (squat ky late!), the beach hang-outs (after exams!), the snack sessions after class (Gaisano Cogon Food Area)and the bonding that forever will bring us close. GAPACU-ED 1999-2002 is indeed a class that could make you 'Sholalang' and feel so young. We are the batch that as they say you need to "Check this out!

 

Forever you will remain in the biggest part of my heart... I miss you guys!
