Learning American Accent

Learning English is so fascinating. It is like playing with words, grouping it together to become sentences then sentences are grouped to become paragraphs and so on..... Writing words has an art. However, literally voicing those words has a different form too!

In one training I attended, we were taught the American Accent training, and there was Paul Gruber's workshops. I feel like I was a kid, learning how to pronounce words the American way. I super love it when I hear his voice saying, "Very Good"... Ajah! I feel like I am more confident now to talk with Americans. I hope that I will be able to get an A+ grade from them! :)

One Fine Day

Experience the white sand beach in Isla Del Mar Beach Resort? Wow, I could not believe real relaxation at its best. The water was super nice, I did play with the waves....
 
I personally do not like sunbathing but I was under the sun all day! Imagine me getting sun burnt? I would probably be super toasted. Hahahaha! But this day was an exemption. I could not resist the seawater, the white sand and sheer pleasure.

Love this day so much!!!!

I was like a kid! Hmmmmm..... 

Cute pose!

I hope to explore nature again next time! See yah!

A Little Act of Goodness

December 29, 2011. Home for the Aged.

My niece, Cry2 tagged along with me when I joined my batchmates in high school for an Outreach Program. VISITING THE HOME FOR THE AGED . We conducted this instead of the usual high school reunions, for a change.

I felt a fierce pain in my heart when an old man, a resident of that institution came near me and Cry2. He hugged Cry2 to the latter's surprise. My little companion was sure taken aback but I explained to her that the "Lolo" missed his "Apo" who did not pay him a visit for years now.  

The old man cried. But I knew he was happy. This is just a little act of goodness before the year ends. More for 2012!!! :)

The Lolo approached Cry2

Then he dedicated a song to his "Apo" (grandchild)...

Our visit made his day.

 

Hopes for Year 2012

The new year is too near! Gosh, I really have a lot of plans and hopes. But foremost is my passing and hopefully, topping the bar ~... Quite a big dream but makes my heart happy.

I pray for God's wisdom and guidance. Nobody can do anything perfectly without His permission. Life is filled with puzzles, and I intend to place the pieces correctly and promptly.


I pray for good health. Health is very important. For how can I enjoy everything if I am weak and plagued with disease.

I pray for happiness. It is the air that breathes life to my being. I hope to live harmoniously and blissfully with my love-ones and new found friends each day.

I pray for peace of mind. It will bring tranquility amidst a world that has a lot of trials, so that I may sleep comfortably, not disturbed by nightmares.


I pray for God's blessings. Each day and forever, so that I may be able to live my life nicely and share it with others.

I have a lot of prayers. There are a lot more. Better kept inside than said.

THESE ARE MY HOPES for the coming years of my life...

Taylor Swift Has Swept Us :)

TAYLOR SWIFT. Singer-songwriter, musician, record producer, actress. Rolled into one!

How has this young lad from Wyomissing, Pennsylvania, United States touched millions of lives? Well, I am pretty sure that she has touched kids, teenagers and even us, adults deep into our beings to do something better for this world.

My niece, Paula Marie is an avid fan of Taylor Swift. She wore her hair like Taylor, act like Taylor and her school stuffs are even filled with Taylor's name. I sometimes call her Taylor-addict as she would usually stay in front of the TV set, waiting for MYX to play Taylor's songs.  :) 

Seeing her obsession of anything depicting Taylor Swift, I made an agreement with her. She has to get real GOOD GRADES in exchange for an album containing all Taylor’s songs including her autobiography... Paula readily accepted the condition, and true to her word, she got high grades and is included in the top 5.

I am a very happy and proud Aunt. :)

Today is Taylor's birthday and I want to thank her for doing some magic to my niece's life. Paula wants to be like Taylor - talented, intelligent and successful! 

 I am now playing one of Taylor Swift's songs - Back to December. 

jollibee

Kids love Jollibee....

This has become a must-say for kids when going to the mall or to eat out.

The cuddly character has enticed the kids. I want to be embraced by this bee too!

There is a sense of warmth and friendship, you will never be afraid of.
