You see? No matter how much worried I am with my life now and how stressful my upcoming graduation is, I can still manage to take a photo of myself upon waking up with my most sincere smile =)) *wink*

How cool is that? 

with DEXTER baby :)

Too vain, you think? :)


Yes? :(

No? :) -Awesome! hehe..

Yes. I'm starting to really get pretty worried about how my life would turn out as I will be facing life, perhaps alone, after graduation. And I don't think I can make it on my own :(, but I have no choice. I should have done this long ago. I mean, being independent. Living my own life at my own expense and such. You know what I mean, aye? :)


Oh! weary thoughts!!!! kill me.

Oh! by the way, did you know that I got a new hair style? I'm not really sure if this one makes any different at all. I mean, I went to a SALON today and curled my hair. HAHA! That's me when bored :)

I tried to take some shots using the webcam but I don't think it will show up clearly, though, I'll try to upload some other better quality next time :D

lol, I don't think you can actually see the difference, right? haha. Well, I thought so. When I look at myself in the mirror, I look the same. sad :(

still can't see the difference? oh! that's awful. haha! 

 So, that was me saying. I'm bored :D

Oh! another graduation practice tomorrow :(( I hate it! tsk!


I'm catching up some posts. be right back :) 


xoxo

In this challenge (overdue), you will see how Janine and I really differs from each other. She's the total opposite of me in so many ways. But to be fair, instead of telling you some random things about me (which is my initial intention), I opted to do the same thing Janine did-to answer this "WHO AM I" thingy! ^_^ I learned this during our retreat..Ü 


My apology if later you will find this post really not that substantial. Let me know also if there's anything in particular you wanna know about me =)) I'll be happy to answer them as long as it's safe to answer. haha!

• What's my name?
• How do I look?
• What I have?
• What I do?
• What people say about me?
• What I like and dislikes?
• Who I love?
• Who love me?

Let's start with the outset -:)

What's My Name?

I rarely introduce myself in public. 


Why? 


Because I don't like my name that much. But alas! I'm in this freaking challenge. So what else can I do? Poor me. Really. Really. Really. 
Whatever. I've said too much already but will surely end up telling you my name anyway. ^_^ 


Fine!


It's Flora Mae. Gosh. I hate saying it. ^_^ The only consolation I can have with my name is it's history. My parents named me "FLORA" after the goddess of flowers and spring. And "MAE" in exchange of MAY. Over all, it means, the "flower of may", cute, isn't it? duh..Ü

How do I look..

See how I transformed from this..(looks familiar? I posted this around my first week in the blogsphere)

I think I was 4 in this photo.


Gosh. I look horribly cute, am I not?


Haha. 


That's okay. You can laugh to hell. If you dare. haha. 




To this.. (one thing for sure, didn't grow that much. haha)

I'm pretty sure you've seen this pic somewhere else, right? Probably in FB, Myspace or Google+..Ü I dunno. 
I smiled too much in every photo since I don't look good frowning. Trust me.You don't wanna see me other than that. ^_^
See other pics here :)

As you can see, in the photo, I'm petite but I'm good with it. It makes me young somehow. Although, at times, it becomes my inferior. Note-at times. That's a good thing, I believe. ^_^ 

 Me in my Uniforms..

I think this picture was taken 2009.

 Recent one :)) 

Front Office Uniform :))








Apparently, like Janine, there's something we have in common. We don't put make ups. I mean, we do, only if it's mandatory (e.i. OJT, party's, or like before, there's this one class that do not let us enter without make-ups on)..Ü

What I have..

I already have everything I need, despite not having everything I want. I grew up living a pretty simple life. No television, no computers, no cellphones or anything for leisure. But the fact that we never experience scarcity in terms of food, shelter and clothing is quite enough already. 

What I do.. 

(or you wanna know my daily routine too? haha)

I'm a student. Yeah, yeah. My friend "Sherry" told me I should be proud of it. Not all people can have that privileged. So, she said, I should feel lucky and not be ashamed even if I think that I'm too old to be in college. ^_^ 

What people say about me..

This is the easiest one. A lot of people don't find me cool (esp. to those people who knows nothing about me). They have this impression that I'm snob and aloof which is true at all times. Of course, I seldom talk to strangers. Cute strangers that caught my eye and attention is an exception. I don't smile too often and I'm really mean. They said I'm maldita, maarte and mataray. But for my friends, I'm all of those above, though, some good qualities are being highlighted. They said I'm cute, funny, smart, pretty (lol), friendly, talkative, demanding, impatient, careless, sweet and one hell of a bitch =))

those are just few of the many impressions of me by others. 

What I like and dislike.. 

Likes.. 

I like watching movies and series . I like blogging. I like facebook. I like netsurfing. I like music. I like chocolates and cookies. I like travelling. I like shopping. I like eating. I like singing. I like dancing. I love boys. I like my friends. I like my family. above all, I like ME. ^_^

Dislikes..

I dislike my haters..(haha..Go to hell) ^_^ I dislike studying. I dislike waking up early in the morning and do nothing. I dislike going to school early only to find out that our instructor is absent or late. I dislike school and a lot of things. I dislikes SNAKES, they creep me out. I dislike people who're too nice or too good to be true. Like duh? C'mon, there must be something wrong with you!

Who I love

I love everything I like =)) they make me happy. sad. cry. laugh. smile..they make me feel unwanted and love at the same time. they're the very reason why I still keep on going. they make me feel alive. they made me who I am today..Ü

I love my family ^_^ Papa, Mama, Big Bro, Sisters and my little niece..♥

My cousins",)

I love my friends..(I have different set of friends, and I love them all)

 High School friends :) 

Since I started College..(folks I met during my very first year in college, year 2002-when I took up Electronics and Communication Eng'g)

 @School

folks @ the Convent way back 2004",) also, with me "3rd pic on from the upper left" are my online friends. We met last summer @Mall of Asia Pasay, Manila :)

ka-BAR-kada",) 

Another set of friends in college..

Who love me..

I don't know. Maybe my family? my friends? classmate? bloggers =))? suitors? xbfs? haters? Who knows? 

I ♥ ME

And this photo challenge is now officially close =)) 

Hello Ladies and Gentlemen ^_^


We are down to our last day of photo challenge. This last challenge is quite very personal since we will be talking (certainly) about ourselves here. So, as a respect. I decided to give this day (page) to Janine as she shares her last photo challenge with you guys. ^_^ I hope you don't mind? :D..oh! yesterday was a blast..will share the fun in time =))

JANINE says..

Hi there pips! I've been sharing photos with you these past few days and sadly this would be the last photo challenge. Happy to say that this is all about me. Nothing but me. :D 

Okay, first thing. I’m Janine April Navarro Neri. (in case you want to know my whole name).  I’m currently taking up BS HRM and I’m now in my forth year. WEE! Atlast! Uhm, I'm 21 years old and don’t forget my birthday which is every 23rd of April. Yes, I’m a Taurian. 

How I look?

Physically, I have a straight black hair, big brown eyes, fair complexion, skinny, and 5’3” tall. As you can see in my pictures, I just wear simple clothes. I’m fond of wearing pants, cute shirts, blouses, doll shoes, and flat sandals. I’m really not that kikay. I don’t even wear make-ups everyday.  I just wear accessories that will complete my usual outfits.  As much as I wanted to look “so lady” like wearing high-healed shoes, skirts, and dresses, I end up wearing ordinary clothes because I’m more comfortable with those.  When it comes to my hair, I just leave it down most of the time and tied it up or putting it in a pony tail sometimes. There, I’m just simple as that. :D

What I have

I only have enough of what I need to enjoy my life. I mean, I’m studying at a decent school, I have enough clothes, shoes, bags, accessories, I have enough money to buy things or foods I want, I have things that I don’t really need, I have my family with me, I have my friends, and I have good health.   I don’t have much, neither less. Just enough to be thankful and feel grateful in my life.

What I do?

Everyday is like a routine to me.  It’s really boring and “nakakasawa”. I go to school every weekdays. After school, I go home and do some household chores. (no choice but to do these things). During my spare time or usually every night, I am always in front of the laptop browsing on my favourite websites such as facebook, youtube, yahoo, and twitter or just watch movies and television programs. If there’s really nothing to do or whenever I am bored, I lay down on our couch or bed, read books or magazines until I will fall asleep. HAHA! See? What a simple, laid-back, and boring life I have!  :D

What people say about me..

Uhm,I really don’t know, oddly enough. But most people describe me as being quiet and nice. :D and they’re right.  I’m really a quiet type of person. I don’t talk that much. I’m more of the listener. I’m not used to share details about my life to others unless they would ask. So if you won’t ask, then you wouldn’t know anything about me. :D I really consider my life as private. HAHA! Uhm, and in that way, if someone’s asking about my life or anything about me, that just means that he/she is interested in me. :D Ganyan lang ka simple. 
I’m nice because I don’t know. It’s just me. Some says that people see you as weak if you're too nice and they treat you like crap and take advantage of you. But I never experience that. People are nice to me that iss why I’m also nice to them. Fair enough. But for those people who don’t like me then that’s their problem. I don’t mind. (I’m sure there are, we really can’t please everybody, ryt?) I’m just nice but I’m not that good.

What I like and dislike..

Dislikes:

• Waking up early in the morning.
• Being sick or having colds.
• When you finally fall asleep, and someone wakes you up just to ask something. My gosh! 
• I don’t like veggies and Mayonnaise. 
• I hate cockroaches. 
• A Guy who has no ambition and lacks direction in life, thinks he’s the man, and knows nothing but kalokohan. 
• Waiting for hours especially when that someone didn't even care to inform me through text, message, or call that he/she would be late.  
• I really don’t like those people who are really trying their best just to get the attention of everyone. Mga papansin kumbaga. Ughh, they are so irritating. Also, insensitive people.
• I don’t like crowd. I don’t like attending festivals or wat-so-ever especially the feeling of uncomfortable when I’m being too close to strangers who have not showered for two or three days. (MEAN I know, haha) Just like when I first witnessed the Sinulog festival in Cebu City. Grabe, siksikan! Anu ba yun?! 
• Broken promises.
• Confusion. Not being able to understand anything, even yourself and your own feelings

Likes:

• Babies and kids!
• Traveling.
• Cheese curls, chocolates, chuckie, coca cola, lasagna, mango ice cream, pizza and many more!! :D
• Sleeping
• Dining out with family and going out with friends.
• Reading, movies, malling, shopping!
• Christmas!
• Being up late at night.
• Listening to music.
• Laughing!
• When it’s raining when I’m at home.
• Dogs and puppies
• Cuddling/ being hug. HUGS!
• The feeling when I received letters.

A guy who is taller than me, has a cute sense of humor, funny yet serious, has the average body- not buff, not skinny, who knows a lot of things- a street smart, sensible, has a good and distinct smell, decent and showers me attention. LOL. Hahaha!

The feeling when something happens more that what I’ve expected.

Who I love..

My family, of course. I feel secured when I’m with them. Both of my parents did pretty much everything for us, helped me with school work (when I’m in my elem and high school days), made sure i was fine, basically devoted their life to being sure me and my siblings were fine. I feel so happy when we dine out together because that’s only the time that we bond and talk about things.  I may not too expressive when it comes to showing my affection to them but really, I love them so much and I don’t want to see them hurt.

I also love my friends! They are one of the reasons why I’m enjoying my life now. They always make me happy and laugh whenever I’m with them.  There’s really no dull moments when they are around. Most of my friends are really opposite to my personality but still we get along well.  You see, they are random, crazy, funny, loud, rough, freaking wild and awesome! How amazing isn’t it? :D

Our dog! I love Jackie! 

Who love me?

Same, my family and friends of course.  And yeah, I love myself too! Love your own. Hahaha!  And God. I know and I believe that God loves me. Other than these, I don’t know if there’s still someone/ people out there who loves me. :D

Hello Everyone ^_^


I am out today (usually, I don't go out on a Sunday but today I made an exemption).  I'm off to DAHILAYAN ADVENTURE PARK..I've been there late last year with Janine, her dad and her xbf and I'm telling you. The place is awesome O_O, check out our photo =))

Oh! well, well, well..tom is another day to look forward to. Why? Because it's the last day of our photo challenge..Ü Hooray! just another one more day =))


Back to our challenge..


I am a little hesitant to push through with this one. Why? because there's nothing inside our fridge :D We don't store foods really. But anyway, see for yourself :)


Let's open up the door for Janine's..

Foods and drinks of course. HAHA!

As simple as "foods and drinks" for Janine..

Check out ours ;-) 

Let's breakdown what's inside our fridge :)

• eggs

• spices (tomatoes, onions and garlic)

• coffee

• cereal pack

• magic sarap (endorsement na to! hahaha!) 

• one apple (that's my brother's)

• lastly, bottles of water and two pitchers of water (again) hahaha! ^_^ 

When it comes to this color, got only one name in mind-Ms. T ^_^ 

Ms. T was our English teacher way back last year. She's a little complicated. She annoyed me. Yet, she fascinate me in a funny way. Fine! I find her funny. really! ^_^

Anyway, if I remembered it correctly, she would enter our class with all purple outfit..^_^ which I really find so funny because even her lipstick is colored-purple. really! (again) 

The truth is, I wanna sneak a shot on her around the campus and upload her pic online but that would make me feel villain. ^_^ So instead..

Check out Janine's first..

Janine says..

Gladys and Esthel's purple shoes. Actually, one of them saw the shoes first in the mal and both of them liked and immediately fell inlove with its color. None of them wanted to give way for the other so they decided to buy the same color of shoes. Cutie. :D

On the other hand, mine is a little bit different because I have a photo of us, me and Princess who's wearing purple blouse today and a cutie Christmas tree I noticed when I pass by at National bookstore :))

I say..

cute isn't it? hahahaha! gosh. I'm just kidding! ^_^By the way, with me is Princess. And on the side is the cutie purple Christmas tree that tells me "buy me please" haha!  

Janine's

 My Sister’s Girbaud Bag. 

My gosh. I fell inlove with this bag and wanted to own this. I've considered to buy one for my own but when I went to the store where she bought this, “it was out of stock”. I was so disappointed. I was even ready to spend my savings for this expensive bag. Whoa! SAYANG! So now, I’m just waiting for the chance/ time that she would’nt use this or beg/ask her if I can borrow this. Again, I’m just so lucky that I have a “not-so-good” sister who lets me borrow her things. HAHA.

Mai

 Ipod

Yes. An Ipod. Lol. I'm currently borrowing this from my father. Omg! ^_^ It took me a while before I convinced him to let me have it (just for a while also)..^_^ My only companion when I'm bored and when I'm alone :)


@Lord Phrozen: Chingee in Baby Boy ^_^

In honor to my 100th post..I thank every one (followers, commenters, readers, and visitors) for all the support..yay! ^_^ NO GIVEAWAYS! haha! Gosh. Can't afford. haha I'm just a student and the thing that I can only afford is one piece of bread and a glass of iced tea. Besides, I guess thank you is quite more thoughtful to say..right? haha! C'mon, just agree with me on this one. ^_^But I will sing for you..^_^ I don't care if you'll find my voice annoying and really out of tune but whatever! this is me saying thank you, though, the title of the song has nothing to do with "thanking" thing..


Anyway, here's a video from me (singing with friends) <Whenever, Wherever> from Shakira. My winning song. Haha! Gotta tell you first, I'm not a good singer, not even close. So, my apology. haha! ^_^ but this is for everyone..Have fun! hahahaha! ^_^

God bless us always ^_^ 


Going back to my challenge..

Read more »

Finally! Dexter Morgan ^_^ my favorite serial killer ^_^ is back..Ü The first episode of season 6 was quite funny and a little exciting. Whoa. I'm so excited to know more about that very interesting killer or should I say killers? whose pattern is way too impressive compared to Dexter's and Trinity. I was astonished to see snakes coming out from that fruit vendor's dead body. Anyway, moving on..


I love this post. ^_^ I chose not to present the list of items I bought (for souvenirs) during our trip in Cebu, Manila, Bohol and Davao because there I wanted to show off these lovely souvenirs given to me by Janine and John Paul that I really really love and I wish to wear them someday..^_^

Janine's

Tshirts from Davao and Cebu and key chains as pasalubongs and which I keep for souvenirs. :D

Mai 

Scarfs..

Yes. Scarfs. ^_^ The black one was given to me by Janine when she went to Baguio last July I guess? ^_^The pink one was given to me by John Paul, he bought it when he went to Thailand. I can't remember when..I think it was last summer? I'm not sure. ^_^

MISC. 
While taking those, my niece was too persistent to be in the picture. ^_^

Every time I watch this video (my favorite video actually), it always brings back the memories I had with them..T_T 

^_^ 

@Lord Phrozen: here's another video from Chingee ^_^ have fun!

-Edited-

Janine's

My school shoes.

Before I bought this, I already had the feeling that this might only hurt my feet. Hell yeah, this pair of school shoes is really painful. The reason why I only wore this twice and bought another one. I'm keeping this shoes for I might still use this sometimes. :D

Mai's favorite Shoes (no more)^_^

Wondering why this is my pick?

First, you might wanna check it out when did I use this one..This is the shoes I wore during our Acquaintance and Here..^_^

I chose this one because like in the title, I shouldn't have bought this in the first place. Why? Because I know that after that event (Acquaintance), I can never wear this again..(I don't like wearing shoes) hehe..But anyway, I fell in love with this shoes that very moment I laid my eyes on them..T_T, so despite of the hesitations and all. I bought it with eyes closed. LOL ^_^








-edited-

7 days to go before I kiss my challenge goodbye ^_^

Going back..

Janine's

I've already read the two books of Bob- ong - ABNKKBSNPLAKO and Stainless Longganisa but I'm reading these over again if I have nothing to do. I so love the books because it's base on reality and I love the writing style of the author. :D I've read the book "The purpose Driven Life" but I haven't finsihed it yet. Really, very inspring and it takes you on a journey of how to discover your life's purpose. :D

Mai

 List of the books I read over and over again..

• The Secret
• Pocket Books (Precious Heart Romances)
• Who Moved My Cheese

Anyway, check it out my yesterday and take a look at our Divisoria Night Cafe..((Divisoria Night Café and Night Market, set up every Friday and Saturday nights. Divisoria streets is closed to traffic and fills with delicious food stalls and cheap pitchers of beer, and most importantly thousands of people shop and enjoying a cheap night out. Haggle over a pair of imitation Adidas then relax at a plastic table with a huge piece of grilled tuna and beer with ice cubes and watch the crowd go by)..


Going back to my challenge..^_^


Whoa. Originally, I wanted to post a picture of a guy from the past who's really sweet to me but he's taken..so, instead, I stick to the post-something and not someone. lol ^_^ and btw, there's another video attachment also and once again, I hope you don't mind. But before that..here's..Something sweet..by..

And the one wearing glasses is Mona, and there's Sharisse (the one holding the pencil and lastly, there's Yen of Thought and Noodles..^_^ I bet you will never understand anything in the audio ^_^ but still, have fun..part 2 is tomorrow :) If you have questions, please feel free to leave a message and I will surely attend to it :)

This one is boring :( but anyway..just a little entertainment, I included a video clip of my friend during our video k session..this isn't very entertaining either but I still hope (crossing my finger) you'll smile a little. hahaha! (I'm stupid, I know. hahaha)

Janine's

 Hot and Cold shower. :D With this, I don't have to be afraid of taking a bath in a cold water during cold mornings or evenings. Great. :)))))

Mai

Haha! It's been inside the bathroom for months now. Nobody use this. Well, I do sometimes when I feel so tired and I wanna relax my feet :D It's menthol and the smell is good :D It soothes my discomfort. lol

Chingee/Chai 

Janine's 

These letters are from my two bestfriends. I received these letters last February and was really surprised and was touched of what they've written. We've been writing letters to each other when we're still in High School. We get to see each other and talk everyday at school but still, we write letters to share "something". You see, we're busy at school and sometimes we don't have enough vacant time to have these "deep talks" that's why we're writing letters. :D Anyway, they sent these letters for my birthday last April 2010 but was able to receive these after 1 year. Funny! HAHA. It's because Kris, the one who mailed this through a snail mail had the wrong address. Good thing these were sent back to her and decided to send this through express delivery, LBC.

Mai's

Can you still see the pictures?  or is it too small?  lol 

These letters are from my friends in high school and college. There are letters also from my cousins and some are from my friends in the convent 

^_^ 
Oh!  see that guy in the picture? I think he's my chat mate or whatever because I can't remember him but he sent me a Valentines card with "I love you" hahahaha! I was laughing so hard when I saw it today. lol Gosh! this was so long ago (during my teens)..I love these letters ^_^ I love writing letters. It makes me feel connected with the other person on the other end of the line..besides, I'm a keeper you know, I kept everything..memories and letters.. ^_^
