I have wondered why my parents nicknamed me "Peachy". Until now, family and close relatives call me by that name. Oh, I do have other nicknames given by some people in my lifetime– Tata, Ta, Kar, Ren, Kris, KK, Double K, Kars, etc. (Tata came from my being 100% Ilongga). I did not like "Peachy" and did not want my friends to know that because it was ruined (for me) by a then teen actress in a used-to-be-popular TV program. (Remember "TGIS" during the early 90s?)
So, what’s the point of this entry? I thought my parents were crazy for giving me a nickname not remotely related to my name. This quiz is not that meaningful, but it sure is weird. I went to the page and placed my real/full name and my gender, then this was the result.

Weird huh? Does that mean I am really meant to be named "Peachy"?
It’s out! Fully Booked is selling oh-so-fresh copies of Neil Gaiman’s latest novel. First 1000 copies would include a handwritten note from the man himself especially for the Filipino fans. I think I shouldn’t advertise this coz I might not make it to the first 1000 buyers… but argh!!! Will anyone spare me a thousand pesos for this?! Waaaah!!!
not my copy
Can’t read what’s written on it? Go buy the book then. Hahaha! =)
Just kidding. Click this to see the bigger picture. Of course, this is not my note. I just got this from Nocturne. So, I want my own… my preciousss…
I posted about this topic a few days ago too. Read it then to refresh the memory.
I believe in Karma what you give is what you get returned…
I believe the struggle for financial freedom is unfair…
I believe the grass is no more greener on the other side…
I believe we place our happiness in other people’s hands…

WARNING: RANTS AHEAD
I am a very patient person. But this day stressed me out so badly I think it drained the very last drop of my patience. I was a bit disappointed with the meeting last night, but due to the lack of better alternatives, I’m staying. It’s tough getting out when feeling trapped.
I will be signing the new contract. There will be a new meeting by next week for more info about the *hopefully* better benefits. I just hope I can last as long as I need to.
Aside from that, I probably got the worse of them calls during my entire shift! That, plus the fact that I couldn’t get any support from the people "up there" (yeah, those with higher positions than mine). I couldn’t wait to get home. I was irritated and frustrated. Trust me, that’s not a nice combination. I wanted to leave the floor and scream, but typical me, I bottled it up inside. So, I got this chest pain. I hope it’s not angina though. Worse, I don’t seem to have anyone to talk to, who can really listen to me and empathize at the same time. So, here I am blogging away… *sigh*
CANCER: (from Astrology.com)
It’s extremely frustrating when you feel like major decisions are in other people’s hands, but what you may not realize is that this actually works in your favor right now. If those offers involve unfamiliar terms or tempting extras, you’re better off having steadier heads working for you in strange territory. Go ahead and discuss your needs with your representatives frankly, have some faith and wait to see what they come back with.
Oh yeah, right! Blame it on the stars!
Compared to my original blog, this one is just a cheap copy. So, I don’t know if people really go to this page and read what I have to write. Since I don’t have a tagboard and not a lot of people make comments, and since I don’t have a hug counter, I thought, why not get smiles from my Friendster friends?
How do I do that? Ok, you. Yes, YOU (the one reading this)! Please go to my Friendster profile. (Just click on that link there… Yeah, that’s it.. Go on…) On the page you will see there a link that says "send a smile". Please click on that and it will automatically send me a message. Too egoncentric? Maybe. But I like getting smiles from my friends, especially those whom I don’t see that often. So, share your smiles today. Thank you! Hehe.

Current song playing in my head:
100 Years
by FIVE FOR FIGHTING
I’m 15 for a moment
Caught in between 10 and 20
And I’m just dreaming
Counting the ways to where you are
I’m 22 for a moment
She feels better than ever
And we’re on fire
Making our way back from Mars
15 there’s still time for you
Time to buy and time to lose
15, there’s never a wish better than this
When you only got 100 years to live
I’m 33 for a moment
Still the man, but you see I’m a they
A kid on the way
A family on my mind
I’m 45 for a moment
The sea is high
And I’m heading into a crisis
Chasing the years of my life
15 there’s still time for you
Time to buy, Time to lose yourself
Within a morning star
15 I’m all right with you
15, there’s never a wish better than this
When you only got 100 years to live
Half time goes by
Suddenly you’re wise
Another blink of an eye
67 is gone
The sun is getting high
We’re moving on…
I’m 99 for a moment
Dying for just another moment
And I’m just dreaming
Counting the ways to where you are
15 there’s still time for you
22 I feel her too
33 you’re on your way
Every day’s a new day…
15 there’s still time for you
Time to buy and time to choose
Hey 15, there’s never a wish better than this
When you only got 100 years to live

It’s been a while since I did this. The Three Question Personality Test.
| Your Personality Is |
| Rational (NT)
You are both logical and creative. You are full of ideas.
You are so rational that you analyze everything. This drives people a little crazy!
Intelligence is important to you. You always like to be around smart people.
In fact, you’re often a little short with people who don’t impress you mentally.
You seem distant to some - but it’s usually because you’re deep in thought.
Those who understand you best are fellow Rationals.
In love, you tend to approach things with logic. You seek a compatible mate - who is also very intelligent.
At work, you tend to gravitate toward idea building careers - like programming, medicine, or academia.
With others, you are very honest and direct. People often can’t take your criticism well.
As far as your looks go, you’re coasting on what you were born with. You think fashion is silly.
On weekends, you spend most of your time thinking, experimenting with new ideas, or learning new things. |
Just watched "New Zealand: Movie Paradise" in the Discovery Channel. Now, I wanted to buy a house and live there more than ever! It’s a really beautiful place. Sometimes I think what if I was born a few islands away and became a Kiwi instead. Haha! Now, I’d just be content of dreaming of getting there.
The Shire*
*bought this pic during the 3rd Sci-Fi Fantasy Convention, from Karen Kunawicz who went to the New Zealand through the Middle Earth tour; took this pic using my Nokie 6610i coz I’m too lazy to scan it. Haha! =)
Goblet of Fire cast
Oh yes, again. Fans can never get enough of them. So, let me share my sister’s album link: Ava’s Photobucket Album… then click on Goblet of Fire / GoF posters and drool on! =)
Cedric and Cho
Oh, and I think I’m changing my mind about Robert Pattinson. I think he’ll do justice to the role of Cedric Diggory. Just look at that poster! Too bad there’s another character there *ahem* Cho *ahem* Chang *ahem* who’s sorta ruining the pose. Teehee!
Viktor and Hermione
But then, I still am a Krum fan. Stanislav’s too goodlooking to be Viktor Krum, but I can’t complain. Watta bod! And the trio, don’t they just grow up too fast? *sigh*
I wish! But I promise myself if circumstances and finances allow, I’d go back to school and study… someday… one of these days… hopefully soon… whenever.
But right now, I’d be content with online courses. I enrolled in BNU (Barnes and Noble University) a few years back to take The Lord of the Rings course. I finished the first one but did not finish the second course due to time constraints. Now, a member of Nocturne announced a month-long course about "Anansi Boys", Neil Gaiman’s newest book. Enrolling there would give me the chance to chat with him during the course proper.
I can’t wait! The only requirement in that course is this:
Gotta have one! =)
