TVD S1,S2 and S3 Bloopers

Video by (Mikeya0902)

So I was fidgeting my phone hours ago looking what am I going to write today for Fashion-Friday (Different topics for different days so that i have a guide what to write. hehehe) Anyways, while i was looking any interesting fashion videos on You Tube, I stumbled on this video. Since I am a great fan of the very talked about “The Vampire Diaries” I was very curious what the actors would look like when they’re caught off guard or make some small mistakes during their takes. Since the Vampire Diaries shows a lot of emotion like love, anger, revenge and resentment, I’d like to see them in a whole another side which is them, being just their self on set.

I have a few favorite parts of the video. One was where Nina Dobrev (Elena Gilbert) accidentally pulled the Statue over that led to Paul Wesley (Stefan Salvatore) saying “Oh my God!”. Second one was when Nina Dobrev (playing the role of Katherine Petrova) accidentally stepped on her own dress and fell to the ground while she was trying to let Ian Somerhalder (Damon Salvatore) chase her. This part Ian was laughing so hard. But my favorite part of the video was the last part. Where Ian Introduced himself to Taylor Kinney (Mason Lockwood) as Ian. They were all laughing so hard! They sure know have to have fun in the set but at the end, they deliver their lines and acting so well that they can really capture the hearts and emotions of their viewers.

Light moments guys! hope you guys enjoy the Video!

Don’t be afraid of your past

“Don’t let your past dictate who you are, but let it be part of who you will become.” -My Big Fat Greek Wedding (2002)

Saw this reposted on twitter, and I agree on what it says. For me,I chose to look at life in a very positive way. The things that happened in the past, the mistakes I made are Life’s greatest lesson to me. If I hadn’t dome those things, I wouldnt have what I have right now. Everyone I think has that one mistake that you wish you could undo. That one mistake that made tou wish that you could have done something. I believe that everything happens for a reason.I may not have known it before, but I know today that I learned many valuable lessons. Sometimes, some people think negatively of the past. It’s as if as something that’s chasing you. For me, my past is a reminder to me of how human I am. That I make mistakes, I learn from it, and it made me a better person that I am today. I have always asked myself before, why do people leave and hurt me so much? At that time I would always doubt myself if I have been a good person or not. Then, I came to realize that those persons who came and left me or those people who have hurt me in the past, or those that led me to make bad decisions before are just instruments to make me be thankful for what I have today.

I beleive that you create your own destiny, this day will become your past, make the most of it. Life is what you make it. Dont be afraid or be ashamed of your past, because if you look inside yourself, you know deep down that somewhere in your past, you learned great leasons in life. Think positive always, you control your life. Don’t bither listening to people who are constantly bringing you down because of the things that you did in the past. Rise up and prove to them that you are now a better person because you survived the hardships and trials that went your way.

I can say, that I am a living proof that the pastdoes not define you. It is what molds you into a better person for others! It made me realize that I should value life and love myself more. That’s why today I feel so blessed to have my husband and son with me. Other people may judge me, but as long as I have faith in God that I can do better and rise up above all the trials and hardships, there’s no use of being afraid of the past!

Think positive, all is not lost. Always remember that Life is a journey, not a problem to be solved. Enjoy every bit of it, have fun today, for tommorw is uncertain. All we can is just pray that the Lord will guide us through our everyday decisions.

Good vibes to all of you my dear readers! =)

DIY Door-Name-Hanger

A few weeks ago, I posted my DIY crates as shelf and is now being used in our newly built cabin for rent. Over the long weekend i was looking around the house for any other recyclable materials that i may use to make te door name hangers for our room for rent also. I realized That we had a lot of old dvds. I thought of creating something out of them as they are taking a huge space over our tv. With a little help from my mom and my husband, I am very proud to have made this!



my finished product! yay!!

So this is how I made this.I hope you could bare with me on this DIY post of mine. hehehe



These are the materials that you will be needing

First, I printed out letters to the name of the rooms that I will be making. Then my mom helped me buy cutting the letters one by one. Make sure that the letters are large enough to be read. I used georgia for the font and the size of the font as 200.



Next is that I traced the dvds on the scrap cloth that I had. That scrap cloth was a trimming of our buntings that we made for our coffee shop. I traced the number of dvds according to the number of letters for the room. Then, I let my husband cut out the cloth carefully as to follow the lines that were made.



I hope you could bare with me on the next steps. I havent taken any pictures further because my phone’s battery got drained. But don’t worry, the next fee steps are very easy!

After all the circles were cut out, I used the shiney part of the DVD (the part of the dvd opposite the label) and placed glue all over it. I used an average amount just to cover the whole dvd. Then i carefully placed the cloth over it. Wait for 10-15 minutes for it to dry. Then I placed the cut out letters in the center od the dvd. Continue doong that till all of the letters can now be read. Then I made small roses using the crepe paper and placed it somewhere that it can be recognized. I also use the scrap bias tape to make a rose.

Then I cut small pieces of the crepe paper made it into a small paper mache circle then outlined the dvds.It is very important that you measure first the dvds to the door so that you’ll know what design to use to make it fit. After measuring, I used the glue gun to put the dvds together then i let my husband put more hot glue at the back of the dvds before i could place them on the door.

Now you can sit back and enjoy your creation! I hope you guys enjoy it and I promise, the next time I make a tutorial, I post more detailed photos! hehehe thank you!

Walk off the Earth

Video by : Walk off the Earth

WARNING: EXPLICIT LYRICS

A few weeks ago, I posted a video on my WordPress blog about The Piano Guys. I love their cover of what makes you beautiful by one direction. Their video was fun and very wholesome and nice to hear. Great voice, and very talented guys!

The very first time I saw the video of the group "walk of the earth" was when I was looking for a cover of Somebody that I used to know by Gotye. When I saw their cover of it, I was mesmerized to see that they just had 1 guitar and there were 5 of them playing it. yes, you read that right, 5 people playing one guitar. I was watching it with my husband, and immediately we started to watch more of their videos. Their original compositions are very good also. I have also seen them guesting in the Ellen DeGeneres show showcasing them for reaching 35 million views in 2 weeks! Yes that's right 35 MILLION views on YouTube in 2 weeks. hehehe

They are cool guys and gal living in Ontario, Canada. I admire how much they could play the guitars and drums! Great voices also, not to mention they are all handsome and very pretty. Their videos are very light with a touch of humor. When watching their video it makes you feel that you are also there with them having fun! Very spontaneous and very innovative. By innovative i can see that they improvise some household things as musical instruments After I saw their cover of Somebody that I used to know by Gotye, I immediately subscribed to their YouTube account. And now they have a new cover of Payphone sang by  our (my husband and I) favorite band Maroon 5!

I hope you guys could visit their You Tube page and also their website! Walk off the Earth! you guys rock!

Pearl Farm Davao

A few years ago, my sister came home from her OJT in the UK. The family decided to go on an out of town trip to celebrate my sister's home coming! Since we haven't been to Davao as a family, we decided to have our family vacation there. It took us around 6-7 hours of traveling by land on a private car. But man i tell you my butt was so sore from the travel, i was 5 months pregnant then. I didn't complain because i know that after all this, it's gonna be worth it! And i was right! We went to the butterfly farm and crocodile farm in Davao. We enjoyed it so much, we even played paint ball. Maybe after this post I can also write about the butterfly farm and crocodile farm experience we had. All of these was taken during May of 2009. The rates may have changed since the time we were there. feel free to check their website guys, pearlfarmresort.com

Since we wanted to try out Pearl Farm, we went to their reception area. We payed for our rooms for an overnight stay and we patiently waited for the ferry to take us to the island. While we were waiting, we enjoyed playing and talking at their very spacious waiting area.They also have a small cafe where you can sit down, drink coffee and read the newspaper.

When the ferry boat arrived, we traveled for almost 10 to15 minutes from their reception area to the island itself where the hotel was located. We arrived late in the afternoon already, and we were greated by drum rolls, juice and and a short welcome message from the staff of the hotel.

FOOD:

The food was very nice and very delicious. every meal is an all-you-can-eat buffet! We enjoyed the different variety of food that was displayed every meal. The presentation was nice and very tempting to look at for another second heaping. to top of it all, I'd rate it a 10! Their juice is really fresh!

ACCOMMODATION:

I rate it a 10 also. the sheets are crisp and clean, comfortable beds and the bath room is very spacious and very clean! It's a place where i want to stay for the rest of the day! Knowing i was 5 months preganant at that time, i did not have a hard time sleeping because it was so comfortable to sleep with. our accommodation was in the Mandaya House.

If i could go back again to pearl farm, I'd gladly go back there to fully experience the island. An overnight stay is not enough to enjoy the amenities of the hotel! they also have their own souvenir shop, a spa and of course they have a small vehicle going around the vicinity of the island to accommodate guests to go from one point of the resort to another without having to have sore feet. But on the other side, walking around the resort is also nice because you get to experience nature at it's best and it serves also as an exercise while you're at it. They also have tons of water activities for the guests, but we only did the paddle boat because we were short of our time.

The night we stayed at the hotel, there was an End of the Summer Party at Malipano Island. It's part of the resort but located on another island.We had to ride small boats from our island to Malipano island. It was just a 5 minutes boat ride. They had fire dances, games and of course live band. Don't forget the food! We didnt stay that long at the party because my tummy was already acting up. The baby inside me wants to go to sleep already. To top it all we really did enjoy that party even if we had to leave early

We woke up early the next day to have breakfast and to prepare to check out. I for one haven't experienced the whole resort, but i had a great time because i was with my family and enjoyed the fun activities and the memories we made there together!.

So guys, if you want to have the time of your life and experience a 5 star resort at its totally best, you have to try pearl farm resort! It's more fun in the Philippines! you get to experience nature and have fun at the same time. Check them out at their website.click here.

My Life's Little Miracle

I found this blog post i made after i gave bith to my son last September 2009! This blog post is a blast from the past post for me! i Hope you enjoy reading it guys!

" my life's little miracle"

When i first found out that i was pregnant i was already in my 3rd month and the last month for the first trimester. That was when my boyfriend (now my husband) and i realized that we need to do the all-time-pregnancy-kit-test. We tried it when our housemates were already asleep and we silently went to the comfort room to do the test. When it was time to use the kit i was 80 percent sure that i was pregnant but i needed the kit for a 99 percent confirmation (1 % was for me going to the ob-gyne) ok, when i did the test a part of me wished i wasnt pregnant but when the pregnancy kit gave me 2 straight lines i couldnt explaine me feelings. My first reaction was that i smiled and deep down inside me made me feel the luckiest girl alive.. "IM GONNA BE A MOM" it didnt occured to me to be sad or what. now i know what to explain the feeling that i felt during that time. i was overwhelmed. So overwhelmed that i could not speak a single word or even shed a single tear of joy or a tear of anxiety (if there is such a thing as that). Well for a 22 year old girl who's still trying to finish some cases as a nursing student, i couldnt help it but be afraid or should i say that i was quite shockedby the news that i just told my then boyfriend " what will we do" and i've been repeating it for like a million times to him with me clutching the pregnancy kit so hard in my palms that i want it to sink in so that i could accpet it and that i would seem true for me. My boyfriend just hugged me so tight and just said " don't worry, i wont leave you. we will push throught with the pregnancy. i'll do whatever i can to make this easy for you. we'll go home and i'll face your parents that even if your dad would punch me stright in the face i would accept it. so i guess i just have to exercise my face for your dad." And that made me feel secure, knowing that my boyfriend was responsible enough to accept the things that just strucked us like lightning. so we went to sleep, he cradled me in his arms wich made me feel the more secure and happy. i wished that this was just a dream that when i wake up all of this would just dissapear like a bubble bursting in the air.

When i woke up the next morning, i saw the pregnancy kit with the positive sign on it, it was the first time that i broke down and cried my heart out. i was crying while touching my tummy, saying to myself " this is so true, what will i do? what am i going to tell my parents, how will they react?" then it all started. i went to an ob-gyne that day with my husband and we first heard my son's heart beat.

when we first heard it i cried. it was not because i am sad but because it was the MOST WONDERFUL SOUND i have ever heard in my life. And it was confirmed that i was 3 months pregnant.

It was not until i was on my fifth month when my parents knew that i was pregnant. my mom had hints already but was just waiting for my confirmation. she started to tell me that im getting a lot bigger than i used to and my boobs are getting big, knowing that i once was an A cap(hehehe). when we told my mom she went crying all over the car. (she wanted us to tell her inside the car because she knew what was comming already). She was telling me thing like " how could you not used any condoms?! why did you ever think of doing it without being safe?!!" well, you could just imagine other things she was asking us. but to cut it all, the next morning my mom talked to me, she was just worried because she thought i was not taking good care of the baby and that if i was doing pre natal check ups and drinking enough vitamins and milk for me and my baby. i know the news shocked them and made them think that they were a failure on me. but i dont think that they ever made a mistake. it was the decisions i made that made this into such a dillema for our family during that time. when my dad knew about it, he just kept quiet and accepted it, because he said" what else can we do?"

my pregnancy went very well because my family was very supportive of me. everyone was so thrilled to see the baby already. when i was nearing my due date everyone wanted me to give birth on my dad's birthday on the 4th of september. i was already very big and very pregnant on my 8th month. we tried walking along the malls for some exercise and swimming also helps. a week before my EDC i went for my weekly check up with my ob-gyne when she did the leopold maneuver she said that my baby was still floating but in the proper position for giving birth already. When i had my ultrasound the following day my baby had turned 360 degrees that he was on his butt. my doctor told me of a possible c-section but we were still positive that the baby would turn becuase we still have one week left. i did all hat i could do to make him move. monday came August 31,2009 i had my last ultrasound. i was excited to know that my baby had turned to his proper position getting ready for labor. but it turned out that he didnt moved at all. i was crying all over my doctors clinic because i didnt want to have the c- section. but we have no choice. I AM HAVING THE C-SECTION. the doctor gave me a choice either to go into labor and wait if the baby could still move or schedule a c-section. but we could not wait any longer because we wanted it to be scheduled on my dad's birthday but the thing is there is no doctor available in september 4th because they will be leaving. so we scheduled it the next day. tuesday september 1, 2009 i was scheduled for a c-section at 2pm. i was very nervous and yet excited to see my son.

since i was still recovering from the operation i got to see my baby 5 mins after they closed me and after one whole day where i have to learn how to sit down with all the excrutiating pain in my tummy area. i got to go and give you your very first breast fed milk.

and from then on i was felt like i was the happiest person in the world. to have seen a complete miracle being cradled in my arms. the best thing that ever happened in my life was to hear you cry when you were being pulled out from me. and from then on i know that you would always be my life's little miracle!
