a girl can dream.

woo hoo! kudos to me for being able to do a lil bit of organizing here.

moving on..

lately, i've been really thinking about a lot. Life, love, school, and surprisingly, about my FUTURE. Yes,dear earthlings. I am constantly thinking about how i want myself to be five to ten years from now [the best part is where i get to have my very own dream house and DSLR. yey!]. I get to have my own room. I will be having lots and lots of picture taken from my very own , a DSLR hopefully. My eyes will be all glued to my on sleepless nights updating my blog in my own domain or finishing my lesson plan for my grade school classes. And if i grew tired of teaching, i`d be glad to start my own business. Ohhh, blame all these dreams to my constant exposure to the internet.  I know some people may say that too much of it can really do someone no good. but hey, look at me now. I get inspired by all those good things i get to encounter online. To cut things short, internet, specifically bloghopping, has been a big part in building up my dreams. Having to read posts of people from all walks of life who willingly share about their dreams and accomplishments have inspired me to build my own dreams too and have my own achievements as well. Certainly, i have learned a lot from the internet.

But, a lot could happen during those 5-10 years that may change these dreams of mine. A lot of challenges will most definitely try to disrupt me from reaching my goals but i know that it is in every decision i will have to make during those easy and tough moments that will define what my future is gonna be. So to serve as a guide in making the right decisions, i want to post here this article i got from candymag.com that will somehow guide me in making the tough choices of my life.

How To Make That Decision

Losing your head to so many options? Get a grip on these decision-making skills.

by: Chinggay Labrador

posted on February 2, 2010 06:00 pm

Imagine yourself plunked in the middle of a huge mall with P1,000,000 in your hands. What would you do? Spend all your money on clothes? Treat your friends to lunch at your favorite resto? Spend the day with a group of orphans in a theme park? The choices are endless and if you aren't equipped with the right tools, you could spend the whole day just gaping at all the decisions you have to make.

Like a hypothetical mall, the world offers you an endless stream of decisions, from the moment you get out of bed until the time you sleep. Sometimes, the choices are easy, like whether to go out with your barkada on Saturday afternoon or to stay home and study for that Chem exam you've got on Monday. Other times, the choices are more difficult: should you smoke and drink? Should you get into a relationship or not? Or what course should you take in college?

It might not always be easy, but with a few tips in mind, decision-making can be simplified!

Realizing It

"You can't make a choice unless you realize there's a need to make one," says Me-K Cruz, a BS psychology graduate from UP Diliman. Whether it's about what you're going to wear to your best friend's birthday party or how you should spend your money-you can only make decisions when you figure out that they have to be made. Sometimes it even takes a while before you realize you have to make a choice. Reena, 16, says that one of the toughest decisions she's ever had to make was choosing to leave her long-time barkada. For a long time she felt she couldn't connect with them anymore. They also made fun of her a lot. After a time, she decided they weren't real friends and stopped hanging out with them. Though it was painful, she eventually found new friends she felt really comfortable with and who nourished her spirit.

Options, options, options!

If like Kyla you figure out that a decision has to be made, the next thing to do is to consider your options. You can turn to your peers or your parents for advice. Either way, it's important to expose yourself to the different options that are presented to you before you make a choice. That way, you're aware of all the consequences of the choice you're eventually going to make.

Gia and Tiffany, both 16, say that one of the most pressing choices they have to make is what course to take in college. Although they turn to their friends for advice most of the time, serious matters, like which college to attend requires asking help from their parents. Kena, 16, shares that your parents' opinion is important, especially in deciding whether you should get into a romantic relationship. "Teens always need a little advice from their parents because they are more knowledgeable about life and are more understanding and sensitive to their children's feelings," says April Rose P. Lina, a psychology graduate from DLSU. It might be a little difficult to open up to your parents since most of the time it's your friends you turn to when faced with these situations. But don't be afraid to try asking the parentals for help. The generation gap between you, mom, and dad might make you want to rely on your friends more. "Teens think that their parents don't understand them because they are either too old-fashioned or baduy. They can't relate since they don't watch MTV, Gossip Girl, Glee, or any of the teen shows," says Lina. It probably requires a big stretch of the imagination to think that your parents have experienced the same things you're going through. But it's always a good idea to seek out your parents or an older person for advice because they most probably have gone through what you're going through. They are wiser and their life experiences will surely help a great deal. Keeping the communication lines open between you and your parents is key-asking them for advice won't just help you make up your mind, it'll also strengthen the ties between you.

How do I choose thee? Let me count the ways!

Once you've figured out the different options handed to you, it would be a good idea to consider each of them carefully. There are a million and one ways to think about your options-some based completely on fate while others are based on a good balance between reason and your emotions.

It might be fun to look for signs when making decisions, but it might not really be a good idea to base your decisions on fickle "signs." Tossing a coin to decide on what CD to listen to is one thing, but figuring out what college you want to go to based on heads or tails is a completely different story. Things may have worked out for Chuck Bass, who bought a hotel instead of going to college-but doing the same thing just because it worked� for a fictitious TV character might not be such a wise idea.

You can make the classic pros and cons list, which is good because it lays out all the aspects of the choice you have to make right in front of your eyes. Once you've seen all the good points and the bad points side by side, it might clear your head a little and set you thinking straight. Gia, 16, says that when she had to decide about who to ask to her prom, she went through a process of elimination. Considering your options one by one and slowly ticking them off would probably leave you with the best possible choice.

Ever hear about going with gut feel, or how the first instinct is always the right one? Cruz says, "Intuition doesn't always follow because it is influenced by that very moment. It's ruled by emotions and you should always strike a balance between logic and emotions."

It's your choice

"Peer pressure is common for teenagers because it's part of their social development," says Cruz. It's typical that peers play a big part in influencing choices because you spend majority of your time with your friends.� And although peers, and sometimes authority figures are key players in the decisions that teens make, Cruz says that another factor that affects decision-making is your personality. Although you can get the opinions of others, what ultimately matters is how you feel about it. Sometimes your peers may give the kind of advice that will just "make you feel better." Gia says that asking for "guy advice" from friends might be a little misleading-you might not get totally honest and upfront answers because your friends always want to cushion the blow and not say anything too hurtful. "You are the biggest factor," says Tiffany, 16, "although you should try to get some input from other people too." No matter what others tell you and no matter how your outside influences try to sway you, always remember that the final decsion is still up to you. It is your life that will be affected by the choices you make.

"In making any decision, you should always think about yourself and how you may benefit and grow from the choices you make," says Lina. Decisions primarily have to do with your life. "But don't forget that you do not live alone. You also have to consider others because you cannot have a life without them."

Trial and Error

Decision-making is easier said than done. Considering your options may help, but it isn't a guarantee that you're going to get the effect that you want. The good thing about making decisions is that you get better the more you practice. "I try to learn from those decisions," Em, 15, says about the wrong choices she made. Although things might not always turn out the way you plan them, just remember that life is always full of choices, and you'll never run out of opportunities to make things better.

Hopefully after five to ten years, i will just not having the same dreams but actually living them. So help me God. [Which reminds me, i haven't talk to the One up there for like ever! tee hee.]

So uhmmm, that's about it. Amma scram now. Still got this English 20 report tomorrow which obviously, i have to work on. eekkk!

a candy treat.

Yeey. Our teacher was not around for our Educ 23 class soo, we get to surf the internet for the entire period. hoo yeah! I got bored with facebook so i thought of visiting candymag.com. It's been a reallyyyy long time since  i got to visit this amazing site so i sort of missed it already. I checked some really cute & cool stuff there and i took a few awesome quizzes and i just wanna share the results (which is surprisingly, true!) here.=]

Quiz:  Which Glee Gal Are You?

Result: Tina Cohen-Chang

Like the New Directions' resident goth goddess, you're a girl who's okay with being in the sidelines and letting others shine. Friends admire you for being so laid-back and tolerant of other people's quirks, but that doesn't mean letting others take advantage of you. The next time you're given the opportunity to stand out, accept the challenge and make the most out of the experience! Take more quizzes like this on Candymag.com

Quiz: Which Taylor Swift Song Are You?

Result: "You Belong With Me"

You're a bit clumsy, a bit awkward, and a hundred percent adorable. People feel naturally comfortable around you because you never try too hard to be cool or popular—you don't feel the need to change who you are, or to compete for the spotlight. Plus, you're an expert at laughing at yourself, dorky mistakes and all! Take more quizzes like this on Candymag.com

you might want to check this site out [ that is, if you still haven't .=) ] and take a few quizzes there or better yet be a certified candygurl and sign up. hee hee. oh well, enjoy your day earthlings. Prince loves you sooo much. xoxo. =]

at bonggang bongga ang lola nyo! haa haa. sa kadahilanang maaga akong nagising kanina at wala akong magawa, ayon at nakita ko si mr. gunting na nagmumukmok sa isang tabi na para bagang nagsasabing "wala akong silbi!" sooooo, ginamit ko siya para gupitin ang buhok ko! woo hoo. ang galing ko noh? di halatang medyo hindi maayos ang pagkakagupit. Eh sa hindi ako makapaghintay eh. Ilang araw ko na ring kinukulit ang tito-slash-tita [bakla ok? pew.] na gupitan na nga ako kasi gusto ko maayos ang pagkakapantay ng buhok ko sa ibaba eh sinasabihan lang naman akong mamaya na kaya voila! my very own piece of art. hee hee. pero ipapaayos pa rin ito kasi mukang di pantay ang gupit sa bandang likuran. wag kayong mag-alala, new haircut nga ako pero same old perspective pa rin naman. haha. di na yata ako magbabago. hoo well, patunay ko lang naman ito na may nagagawa pa rin naman akong maganda kahit nag-iisa lang ako. haha. oh sya, cge nah at mag-aaral pa ako. may exam nga dapat ako kaninang 7:30 am. Bio 31.1. pero hindi ako nag take. special exam nalang ako kasi hindi talaga ako nakapag-study. tee hee. XD

three downs, four more to go.

MIDTERM EXAMS:

EDUC 31

FIL 44

ENG 20

BIO 31 LEC

CHEM 01

EDUC 27 

EDUC 23

Four subjects more to go and hell week is over. woo yeah! exams can really be tough especially if you don't have any effin clue about the lessons that were being discussed because probably you were just honing your space-staring skills or you were too engross listening to your mp3 playing Justin Beiber's One Less Lonely girl which, btw, makes me feel all kilig everytime i hear it. oh i just hate the feeling of  having nothing to answer on exams.

ohhwel, the first three exams i had are pretty much "no-sweat" i mean like pft, no big!. But with the remaining four subjects, i don't know if i can ace them without having to read intensively the handouts that were given. I am especially concern with Bio 31 Lec and Chem 01 though. These subjects really make me go "grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr". so, yeah! i gotta study, study, study, go online, and STUDY!

but first, limme just bloghop & bond with my bez Anne first. k?

just a reward for having been able to ace all the first three exams i had.

sooo, ahmmm, laturrrr dudes. hekhek!

sunny days and mondays always get me down.

Sounds familiar? oh well, i just thought of that lyrics of the song by the Carpenters as a title to my post. the lyrics actually goes like this "..hangin around nothing to do but frown. rainy days and Mondays always get me down.." but since i love the rain [not in the typical emo kind of way but more like i-feel-like-a-kid-again type of like], i altered the lyrics a bit. I just love rainy days. I love the cozy feeling it brings to me. Although i hate it when it turns to be "OA". Ayoko naman yung tipong binabaha na ang mundo ano?

So where was I? oh Mondays. grrrr. hate is so strong a word so im just gonna say, i DON'T LIKE MONDAYS. well, most of the time. Although i can't exactly point a finger to a particular reason why i don't like the feeling of getting up early for this day. It's not school really cause i love going to school. owwhel, amma figure this one out someday. lol.

Speaking of Monday, yesterday was definitely a down day for me. Nothing really bad happened. I guess having bad hair + huge zit day could be the thing to blame. haha.

I was with Lorraine yesterday. She's my best friend since high school and i call her kismet which means destiny. I call her that because we get to understand each other's sentiments just like that. She's my number one listener among my friends. I just love her.

We don't know why but we were really feeling so down yesterday. As I've said, nothing really bad happened but i don't know, we sort of lost all the enthusiasm for life yesterday. We just stayed in their house and i got to be a model for a short while. we sort of played dress up although it is really for this online shop that we are starting to put up. I just have to say that my body is definitely not of a model size! my waistline is soooo huge that you'd think i've eaten up a whole sack of rice. okay! exaggerating, sorry. But Lorraine talked me into it anyway. So after we've posted the photos online, we went to Divisoria to finished my Bio 31 Lab report so that i can submit it on time. After I submitted my lab report, we went to Cogon to get some things that were needed to be done. We checked some items in some botiques for a while and we went back to their house. After a few chit-chats I went home, still feeling down. Owwhel, maybe because nothing really special happened except for the online shop that we have started. hehe. As another song goes," it's just another manic Monday."

so today is Tuesday. no exams. got the whole day for myself. so i went to avail me a free use of internet in the school's internet lab. hahahaha. ohh yeah. i was just sitting there for about 6 hours and did nothing but surf and surf the net. talk about some major addiction here huh?

i am home now so amma be reading the last few pages of this book entitled FREAK the MIGHTY. it's a novel about two completely opposite kids who somehow found their way to build a one-of-a-kind friendship.

so that's about the start of my week and i hope that i will be able to ace all the exams i have for the next three days. Ta-tah for now.

if only.

Birthday ng isang girl, humingi siya ng bracelet s bf niya, pero ang binigay sa kanya isang Story Book.

Nagalit ung girl, tinapon yung storybookc at nakipagbreak sa bf niya..

After the break-up nbalitaan ng girl na nagpakamatay yung boy.

Pumunta ung girl sa burol at nakita niya yung Story Book sa ibabaw ng kabaong,

kinuha niya at binasa,

“OUR LOVE STORY”

Sa last page, may nakasulat;

“Punta ka sa favorite place natin..nandun ung bracelet na gift ko!.. Happy Birthday Sweetheart! I love you..”

hoo well, this is just a repost. i got this from tumblr.



the story is just sooo sad. i certainly learned a lesson from this post and that is to appreciate the things that other people give and/or do to me. some things may not be exactly what i want them to be but i should take into consideration the efforts being made by some people to make me happy. it's really the thought that counts. sometimes, i just expect too much.i demand too much.but now i realize that by having been loved by others, i am more than lucky. i am blessed. Blessed to have some people love me despite my flaws and shortcomings.



hate less. love more.

as i wish upon a star.

a. N3120 phone. 
b. Digicam.
c. ipod shuffle.
d. a pair or better yet a collection of wedges.
e. hooded jacket.
f. red havaianas flip flops.
g. LAPTOP! 

because life is too short to be anybody else.

some of the craziest, weirdest, awesomest facts about ME.

1. I used to have a gazillion penmanships before. ngayon lang talaga ako may matinong penmanship na ginagamit. i don't even know if this penmanship i have right now will be for keeps so fingers-crossed lang talaga ako na sana ito na. hahaaaa.

2. I am sporting this Hello Kitty wristwatch kahit hindi na umaandar! haha. Eh sa like ko siya eh? Wala namang law ang nagbabawal na magsuot ng relong hindi umaandar diba? :D

3. I frequently burst out in a song. It don't matter kung nasan ako basta pag feel kong kumanta, kahit pa kumulog at kumidlat, kakanta at kakanta ako!

4. Internet adik ako. ito lang talaga ang bisyo ko. maghapon akong babad sa internet basta may free time lang ako. minsan nga di na ako pumapasok sa clasi ko eh.

5. Matakaw ako. As in.

6. May pagka EMO ako. ewww pero i admit. hindi naman ako yung tipong suicidal pero talagang sensitive lang ako when it comes to the matters of the heart. At hindi lang yan. Emo din ako basta pamilya na ang pinag-uusapan. ewan ko ba. overly sensitive lang talaga ako. i always appeal to my emotions.

7. Hopeless Romantic. eh kasi nga emo ako! haha. as in gusto ko yung mga sobrang cheesy. Gusto ko yung feeling na parating kinikilig. Gusto kong maging in love parati.

8. Bad breath talaga ako minsan. i`m kinda ashamed to admit. haha. kakahiya mang sabihin pero oo bad breath talaga ako minsan lalo na sa umaga.

may idadagdag pa ako dito. pinag-iisipan ko pa. hehe.

better late than never.

i know it is late for my New Year resolutions but i just wanna share what i want to do, to improve, and/or to change about me this 2010.

1. SAVE. SAVE. SAVE. i really want to start saving a little something from my allowance. Gusto ko lang magtipid para may magamit ako in cases of emergency. Also, para mabili ko yung gusto ko.

2. Less Internet, More Study. Halos lahat na lang kasi ng free time ko kinakain na ng internet. X| Di ko na nga nagagawa ang mga bagay na dapt kong gawin dahil lang sa internet. Sumasakit na rin ang mga mata ko at sabaw na parati ang utak ko.

3, Losing a few pounds won't hurt. Oh yeah! mag eexercise na talaga ako. haha. antaba-taba ko na as innnn. Nakakapagpababa ng self-esteem. dyosme. parang ayoko na ngang lumabas ng bahay sa sobrang consciousness ko. kaloka! hahaa.

4. Go home early. para di na ako parating sinasabon ng uncle ko. :|

5. Make the most out of what you have. Maging kontento sa kung anong meron ako.

6. Always think of something to be thankful at the end of the day. List at least five blessings that i need to be thankful for after each day or before i go to sleep.

7. Know your priorities. Hinay-hinay muna sa love life. Makakapaghintay naman yan. At kung meron mang dumating, makakapaghintay siya kung talagang mahal niya ako so just chill. Di naman contest yan.

8. Love yourself. i-appreciate ko dapat kung anong meron ako. di man maganda ang mga mata ko but at least matangos ang ilong ko. di  naman ako maputi at least malinis naman ang kutis ko. walang an-an o kung anu-ano man.

9. Strive hard. Don't give up. wag akong basta-basta susuko. hangga't kaya, kayanin ko. hanggang sa makamit ko ang mga gusto ko.

10. READ at least 3 books in one month! para mas may malaman ako tungkol sa mundo.

11. Treasure Relationships. pahahalagahan ko ang mga taong nagmamahal sakin.

and..

12. INVEST ON CLOTHES. XD

so these are my resolutions. medyo marami din but hopefully i will be able to achieve all these on this year: 2010.

the starting line.

so basically i am making this new blogspace again for a fresh start. FYI, i already have two other blogs here in blogger but i'm making another one and your currently staring at it. 2010 is obviously another year for you and me and so i was thinking of having a new place to contain all my craps for this year and the succeeding years. This blog is where i could actually vent out all of the things that is going through my head without holding back or being afraid that other people might misunderstood me.so, if you happened to stumble upon this little world of mine, just sit back, relax, and LET ME DO THE TALKING. Comprehende?

I am Princess Mae dela Cruz Belonio. I've been counting my days here on Planet Dirt, i mean Earth, since the 16th day of November 1989. Year of the Snake. And according to this, people like me:

• are deep. true in my case. 
• say little and possess great wisdom. oh, when i`m with people and i have a say on something, i blabber like all the time that i believe i could get a big-ol'-ribbon for THE MOST TALKATIVE person in the planet. yeah, i talk that much. sometimesi even pissed people off with all my babbles but ahh, those people are branded to as KJs [killjoy!] so ahh, screw them. BUT! i instantly am on a silent mode when i get to be buddha and be reflective and all that. and of course, i keep quite when i really have nothing to say because i basically know nothing on a certain topic or anything for that matter.
• vain, selfish, and a bit stingy. oh i AM vain. although it may not show, but i know i am. I am vain as in i constantly look at myself in the mirror. when i passed by the street, i look at myself on window glasses and sidemirrors of parked cars. yeah, i am that vain. but i don't have my own mirror though, weird ey? Selfish? hmmm. it depends really on on what and to whom  i am being selfish with. Stingy? err, maybe. maybe not. lol. depends really.
• they have tremendous sympathy for others and try to help those less fortunate. oh mind you i do. part of my think-about-your-future moments is to be able to help the needy and the marginalized. that's what we, Ateneans, are being trained for. To be a person for others and amma be just that.
• Snake people tend to overdo, since they have doubts about other people's judgment and prefer to rely on themselves. Yes. sometimes, i think that my way is better than the others but i am not the bitchy type who goes around and acts like he/she is the boss or something. Good thing that i also have trust issues with myself so i still ask for other people's opinions about my judgment.
• They are determined in whatever they do and hate to fail. Oh i somehow disagree with this. lol. Why? because i tend to quit on something everytime i get tired of it. I can agree to this in the sense that when I want something, like i REALLY, REALLY want it,  i GO for it no matter what it takes. And yes, i hate to fail and i sure as hell do wallow in self-pity at times because of this, but i definitely am NOT a loser. if there's one thing i learned about failing, it  is that if you fail,  you go have your pity-partey for 2 to 3 days. Drink, eat, shout, whatever it takes to let it all out and after that, you go get UP and move on because that's what life wants you to.
• Although calm on the surface, they are intense and passionate. oh yes, yes. i agree to this. i am so the type.
• Snake people are usually good-looking and sometimes have marital problems because they are fickle. Awww, di ako good-looking..uso lang. hehe. And i soooo agree with the latter. I am fickle enough to not stay in a relationship for more than three months. *sigh. But i sincerely wanna have a long anfg lasting relationship with someone that i really love. 

 so, those are just some bits and pieces of your truly. But i sure hope that you will get to know more of me as  you go reading my share of thoughts and daily rants. Soo, come along as the journey in my little world begins.
