Now i love RAIN!!

Now i love RAIN because of this:

Asia's Star Rain is super thrifty, spending on 50,000won (~US$35 or approx. Php1600) per month!

Rain is one of Korea's most hot male artistes, but he still has a habit saving money, a habit he developed since young, hence saving a huge amount of his earnings in the bank.

According to Korea's media, Rain has always been letting his father handle his bankbook, he doesn't even know how many bankbooks there are to his name. Every month, he gets 50,000won as pocket money from his father and that makes up for his monthly expenses.

Rain is also different from other artistes who love branded stuff, he hardly buys any expensive and branded products. He once said that even though he received branded presents, he won't spend money buying those branded products for himself.

Even though Rain is usually so thrifty, he still feels that there are times where he is generous. After the Tae An oil spill inccident last year, Rain generously donated 300,000,000 won worth of drinking water and winter clothes to the residents there. At the same time, he actively participated in various public welfare donation activities.

At the recent Savings Day in Korea, Rain received an award, saying "To me, a penny saved is a penny earned, even thought it may seem little, but there will be a huge amount if you save over a long period of time. I hope that everyone will be able to develop the habit of saving during times like this where the economy is not doing well".

Sleepness nights are over!

The bad thing naman is..... feeling ko hindi masyadong magiging maganda ang results.......... eeeeeeee............ di bale na.... Think positive! Think positive! :D

PHYSICS

Ahhhhh........ thank God Katrina's (i share my name with her.......) helping me to catch up on my physics classes which I missed for three days........... Augh...... there's more things to do for the Student Council now that our adviser is back. Hope she also does help me in math..... :D

Frustrated to play the Violin

This year, I realized that I have NO talent. I can write, but that that good, I can speak but not that good, i can sing but not that good. Gosh. What then is my forte? I got more conscious about it when I came to realize how talented my friends are: Audrey's good in writing as well as speaking, Sherica's good in photography, web design and photo manipulation, Plinky's good in drawing... same as Paul, Vanessa's good in Badminton, and Allan's good at Math. They get to compete out of school because of their talents........... Well..... I also go compete outside. But not that often............................. Then I started gaining interest on Violins........ and now that I know someone can teach me, and I also to discover my talent, I'm getting more engrossed about learning...................... Hahaha I actually can't sleep last night thinking how I could squeeze it into my schedule. I hope mom would let me learn the violin....... I hope she really does.

My dream: to play the VIOLIN.

We heard mass today........ And I saw a an old lady playing the violin for the choir. I'm really interested to know how to play the violin. There's no music schools here in the place I live, and the nearest is an hour of driving away. So I asked mom if she could ask the lady if she could teach me.............. After the mass we approached the lady and asked if she could teach me, and she said yes. She asked me to stretch my left arm to see what size of the violin suits me. She said I was big and what I needed was a full-length violin. I was already starting to feel excitement. Mom asked how much were supposed to pay..... and she's asking for 400Php per hour............ Augh...... that's big. We walked home for the church is just a walk away........ Now, mom asked me if I'm sure that I want to learn..... She told me that I have to practice everyday to polish what I will learn so that I don't need to practice again, as well as not to waste the money when I see my teacher. I'm willing to practice everyday. But what I'm thinking about if I still have time because I always have lots of things to do after school aside from homework.............. I really want to learn....... but I don't want to waste the money (because it'll cost us about 20,00Php! Oh my!) if ever the lessons don't turn out good. And I still have to maintain my academics and my work as the school government president.......... Ohw..................

25 hours a day.......

What would you do if you had an extra hour everyday?

• Matutulog ako. For in dreams, i can reach for the imposible.
  

At last.

At last the training for journalism is over. I missed three days of school............. I wonder if I could still catch up tomorrow............. it makes me worried. And thinking about my next out-of-school activity on Tuesday next week, it makes me more worried because the day after that is our periodical exams already. Augh........ I almost forgot I still have things to do concerning the Student Council.......... I still have to polish my proposal about the Student's night. Oh. Good luck to me.

At last. I already finished my reaction paper. I have to do my project on Economics next.



I need break!

Bad day. Bad day.

It's a bad day. Kasi naman we just asked our physics teacher kung pwede sa hapon nalang i-pass yung assignment kasi we're going out of the school for the journalism training tsaka ang dami dami naman kasing ginagawa...... Tapos ayun.... nagalit sya....... nagparinig pa sa mga classmates namin tungkol dun........... Hay........ dapat naman kasi kung ayaw nya, sabihin nya ng maayos. Dapat pala ang rating na linagay ko dun sa survey tungkol dun eh 1! Kainis!

experimental KOREAN FASHION

I just wanted to wear shorts that day. But I had scars. And I of course I wanted to hide it..... of course! who would be proud of those?! And I saw my tights(is how you really call it?) on the closet. And I tried wearing it together :P It didn't look that much good to me......... that's why I asked mom if it looked right......... because I haven't seen yet someone wearing tights and shorts......... and she said it was good! Actually it was also my first time very bright colors. But since I'm not going elsewhere, only on the place where I live, I gave that outfit a go. Hahahaha and when I went to school, I heard one my schoolmates telling her friend: "Kikay din pala si Katrina." hahahahahahaha

My dad always told me to be refined and reserved. Well, I find it awkward 'coz I think only the elites need to be refined and reserved and we're not on that part of the society so I don't act like that:P Dad grew up on a family slightly higher than the average. That's why I think that he's shaping me in that way. I remember my aunts telling me that daddy Rody(that's lolo) would get angry if they hear them speaking in Ilokano or Pangasinense(our local dialects) though I think they learned and continued to speak secretly (because I hear them using those dialects when they talk). They speak English in their family. Dad speaks Ilokano but he never taught me, that's why I grew up in the Ilocos Region without knowing to speak either of the two, though I got to learn some of few phrases and words that I usually hear at school like: anyameten, nagado ti amom(whatever), and agpudot(it's hot).

Reaction Paper

Hmmmm........ our next reaction paper is about the "Reproductive Health bill".............. It's purpose is to promote the use of artificial family planning in the Philippines........... The Filipino populace is mainly Christian. The church has expressed its strong objection about the matter specially the CBCP (Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines). They said that the bill is against the teachings of the church. Because using artificial family planning violates the main purpose of marriage: procreation. But this is government's way to fight the main reason of poverty which is over population. God surely wouldn't want His people suffer, I wonder if He would allow us.......? Ahhh........ I hope we have a way to talk to God personally...... :)

So..... what do you think? Would you agree or disagree?



*hope to get your answers to help me. thanks in advance! :D

Augh. I'm kinda pissed off today. I've been busy because of our project in Economics. Actually it's a "by pair" project and I'm working with my bestfriend. It seems that I'm the only one worried about our project. I've been working on it since Saturday last week. Though she researched earlier than I did, she lost the files. Well she tried to search again but all she gave me is I think currently 5% of our work. And I was still okay with that. Until a while ago, I asked her if she could come with me to the city library to look for some topics that I can't find or with anemic information in the net before our classes started in the afternoon and she said yes. Then after we had a meeting in the library, I reminded her, and now she said she has to do things. Okay. Okay. I understand. She's the Editor-in-chief of school paper. But when I went back to our room, i found it locked. Nobody there. Our bags were both locked in there. I went the faculty room to get the keys. She didn't bothered to ask me if I still needed company going to the city lib. And didn't even thank me for the keys. Well, I already too pissed off to ask her again. So I went downstairs to start checking classrooms (it's a part of an SSC officer's duty) and I realized that I won't fnish early if I solely do the research. So I went to their coaster (it's how she calls the ride that fetches her.) I asked her again and she said that she's going to wait for me until I finish checking......... After I finished checking, I saw her, and she said that their ride is off to go already. So there, I went to the library alone. I think I jsut shoudn't have asked her again. Huh? that's all.

가랑,
KATrina

Dangshineun Naneun Baboimnida English translation

I was a fool. I was a fool.
My regrets were too late too. I know that it can't be turned back.
I know that I can't see you too.
I was so wrong, I'm so sorry.
I didn't get to say then, instead I was just being rotten.
So I'm here now pleading for forgiveness with worry

I'm a fool
Because of my pride I'm ruining myself with alcohol
and the bitter taste of cigarette smoke.
I cry my eyes out all day because I still love you
You and I, we both are like fools.

Don't be like that, think about it.
Think about what it took us to get here
Think about it again, you're going to regret it.
I was so wrong, I'm really sorry
I didn't get a chance to say then, instead I was just being rotten.
So I'm here now pleading for forgiveness with worry

I'm a fool
Because of my pride I'm ruining myeslf with alcohol
and the bitter taste of cigarette smoke.
I cry my eyes out all day because I still love you
You and I, we both are like fools.

I can't live a moment without you.
I still cry even no matter how I drink or if I cut my hair.

I'm a fool
Because of my pride I'm ruining myself with alcohol
and the bitter taste of cigarette smoke.
I cry my eyes out all day because I still love you
You and I, we both are like fools.

Don't ruin yourself anymore...
