★"Going one step beyond customary, and taking the world with me."★
Looks familiar, eh?
Yup, it's the original photo used in my Pisay Voices avatar. Just a little piece of trivia: the background (which was added via photoshop by me) is actually composed of two photos, both well-known in the categories in which they belonged. The one at the leftmost portion is a vintage World War 2 poster, while the one at the right is a photo of Art Deco buildings.
11:30 PM ● And You Thought I Would Never Blog Again, Eh?
Well, surprise, because here I am.
Only to inform you (more clearly) that I have moved. I HAVE MOVED, YES.
Cocktail Riot That is where I was off to. And in case you didn't notice the silly little image I presented you with the last time I posted, that was my link button. I know, it wasn't even presentable. Nevertheless, here it is. Again.
Just when you thought I would never blog again. Here I am. Perhaps it's going to be the last time I'll ever blog in here--though we can't tell for sure.
I always thought there would be other opportunities for me to be able to share the link to my new blog. Unfortunately, I don't think there will ever be any as I may be off traveling (AGAIN!) soon. To the country, hooray! Trips to the country always make me happy. Unfortunately, it isn't all the time that they have Internet in the mountains, so most of the time (like the last time I went to a resort) I have to make do with what I have at the moment. This time, I have a cell phone over which the blogging experience is swell, though I doubt I'll have any load by the time I leave for a place so far away we have to travel twelve hoursbefore we get there. Seems fun, you might think. Why yes, it is fun. Especially if you have a camera, a phone, a music player, and lots of equipment. Which I do have right now. So what do I have to worry about? Nothing, supposedly. But there's one thing I'm pretty much upset about. How do I possibly share my life story as soon as I get there?
Hah, as if it matters so much as Obama to the whole wide world. Why, even the presidential dog warrants more attention than I do. But who knows, right? Someday I might be able to catch people's attention. Someday, people might deem me important to the whole wide world. Someday, the world might need me so much... they would never allow me to keep to myself... and soon they'll let me lead...
Ahh, how I wish. Now that reminds me of something my father would always say-- There's nothing wrong with dreaming, so long as it reaches the limit; but as you dream of reaching the limit, you must keep in mind not to exceed it, for one cannot achieve what he may not. So if you resolve to dream one day, make sure you dream big, but never larger than life. True enough, it is often interesting, the way we look back to our younger days and recall how we used to dream of becoming superheroes, only to realize that it wasn't possible at all. So we dreamed of becoming the local ice cream man so we could make the kids happy and have all the ice cream we wanted. Until one day we are exposed to the concept of money in our pockets, and we dream of becoming doctors, nurses, lawyers, teachers, or any random sort of professional instead. And when we got older, we sold vegetables in the flea market... while some of us owned the entire flea market and had control over the entire business. So it depends. We all dream nonetheless, so I suppose there's nothing wrong with what I've been doing, riiiiight?
*At this point, I assume a DEFENSIVE STANCE*
Lights. Camera. Action!
Mm-hmm, so I guess I should stop babbling now. It's off to business first!
This time, I'm going straight to the point.
YOU ARE WANTED. Go immediately. Expect nothing. (At last!)
I took all the trouble of getting a domain and now I can't even access it.AT ALL. End of story.
Nice one, eh. I FAIL.
(Yeah, I know this is going to be the shortest blog I've ever made--and perhaps the shortest blog I'll ever be making--but man, DO I even care. Sounds pessimistic, I know. Well, here's to guarantee you that I am indeed. If you were in my place right now I bet you'd understand how I feel. Hah. Typical teenage language, eh. I'm a disaster. Now you know why I'm often emo. Serves me good for my own stupid doings, don't you think?)
:emoticon here: I'm not even putting one because I don't even know what smiley to use. LEGENDARY/EPIC FAIL.
"I'm trapped in a squall and can't get out at all."
Me. Just me. Rhyming desperately. (Yeah, the picture shows exactly how I feel right now. Much like a storm cloud/explosion. Anytime I may explode. And I will.)
Oh yeah, by the way, how I wish people would pool for me to acquire obliteration.net (since .com's unavailable--curse the ill boy/guy who managed to obtain it first! Nah, just kidding. I don't want to get cursed in return), or obliteration.co.cc at the least (which costs $3). Then again, I don't suppose they would ever want to do so, knowing me and who I am as a person Yaaaaay. First smiley ever. Looooool.
I "LOL" because I want to. See, I'm a very inconsistent person. And the reason I put this smiley here was because it was cute. Tsk tsk tsk.
I'm on Linux right now. Why? So my computer wouldn't keep on saying "Operating System Not Found." Once again, why?! Because my computer fails that way. That alone, taken as one simple statement. It gets really annoying. Now that you know, I'm sure you can see... the answer to that one question of yours. Why? Why, here it is. I've said it.
So yeah, that must be enough ranting about the problems my computer is facing and the fact that I am doing nothing to solve it, because really, what is to be done. Besides, I'm okay with it. I have a computer to use, and if I don't leave my computer there for an hour or so it'll serve me very well, without having to get messed up by itself. Basically, it teaches me to be responsible, one thing I really ought to learn before I begin my junior year. Very well then. Let's start on the issues of the moment. (Issues, huh. Why, I've got lots of them, so sorry if I take too much of your time stalling on this blog post and refusing to tell you what exactly is up, straight to the point, without all the frills and whatnot I've decided to decorate it with.) Say, what else would you expect? I take a break from my site for a few days (because it was my birthday *ahem* for those who didn't know, I had it on March 30th) and come back after three or so days just to lock in my apologies and inform you folks that I won't be holding this site much longer, as I have managed to order a domain now and I'm expecting it in a day or so (within 24 hours, it says on the website where I made my purchase, but I don't really trust online ventures, so I'm giving it a time allowance of two days or so from the time we deposited our payment at the bank). That is good news for the people who currently watch over my site, and to myself as well, considering how long I have been intching to have a website of my very own, and now here we are. Almost there. Now it's down to the technical aspects of making the site itself, which I am currently figuring out, thanks to an early lesson on HTML and CSS. (Now this is what I get for insisting on straightening up my Multiply when in fact I ought to be studying. I'm a very good student, aren't I? )
So I bet that's enough updates on the status of my new site, let's move on to other subjects on which we may want to dwell for the longest time. First of all, allow me to introduce you to my brand new buddy, companion throughout life, my brand new E63 phone (I was supposed to give it a name, and in fact I had decided on EWAN--pronounced Evan, inspired by a German accent--which translates to our local language as "I don't know--I have no idea." This fits perfectly, though somehow my plans to name my new phone didn't push through. Ewan ko kung bakit--I don't know why. I have no idea. Haha. Had I gotten an E71 instead, I would've named him Ferguson. Then again, I don't know why I didn't. All right, I know. That's because I don't have money. And besides I wouldn't even have cared for an E71 at all--the E63 is all I wanted and all I'll ever want, haha! I love it. Yeah, I definitely do. Once again, I don't know why. All right, so I do. (I'm just addicted to the word, is all. I hope you'll excuse me for acting like this. )
And here are some pictures of my dearest little friend!
(Yes, our camera's fully charged, and PICTURES HAVE ARRIVED!)
My new phone resting on a table in my room.
My phone, upon being held in the hand (yes, my palms are indeed red--just as red as my device, I bet) AHA!
Got my message? (Haha, sorry about the flash.)
He looks so smart and adorable, don't you think?(The phone seems fit for a lady--like me--but it's definitely a he. Then again, I don't know why. He just is.)
Born March 30th was he, on the day of my birthday. I had a really fun and awesome birthday celebration, and I, the celebrant, was HAPPY
Totally cool and amazing *AHEM!* pictures of my fifteenth to follow.
Nothing really special about this picture, except that I'm pretty amazed at how my eyes turned out (even though they're not naturally blue).
That sums up my entry for the moment, so keep on watching out for updates, folks, in the mean time, ta-ta and good luck! Gotta go on improving on my site (yeah, I know, even after I do that it'll still suck. So yeah. Enough of this now before the world crumbles down on top of me. )
And right I'm stuck with the most difficult decision in my life.Well, not really.It's difficult nonetheless.
So here comes my mom, telling me that she finally allows me to get a new phone for my birthday, given its price doesn't exceed ten thousand, and I use it up to my fourth year of high school (that's one year, at the least, as I am an incoming junior here), and I, being grateful for her decision, immediately thanked her for it, and promised I'd give the new phone to my dad (who seldom ever buys new phones for himself, for reasons that "he likes his old phone better," blah blah blah, or that he likes 'em without the other embellishments, though in reality I know he sports a hidden liking for the newer gadgets) if I managed to get a better one (complete with a 5-or-more megapixel camera, wireless LAN, and frills of other sorts), one deal which she agreed to as well, apparently because she was busy playing BookWorm on her laptop, or because she may have liked the idea of me giving out a semi-though-not-quite-high-end cellphone to my dad, who uses one that's been in existence since my second-grade days (not very good, I keep telling him, definitely not good. "Ah, certainly your phone deserves an update!" *offers partly-ruined N73 to him* Why, you could use this, it only needs a few minor repairs. I could give it to you right now... *bats eyelashes* Now that triggers his ire, or rather, some fake ire. "No thank you, and do keep your phone; I like my phones SIMPLE! Why, your making a complete fool of yourself and making your life extremely COMPLICATED!" And so on, so forth. Obviously I'm not a very good kid )
So here it goes. A few minutes pass, and I start searching for phones on the Internet. All of a sudden my dad walks into the picture. I tell him about my idea, certainly not forgetting to stress that my mom has given me the go signal, so chances are slim that he would refuse. Turns out he wouldn't, which was good. In fact, he even encouraged me to research more, so I wouldn't end up getting the wrong phone. ("You'll get me deaf soon with all your complaining about a phone that's good enough to at least WORK, even without those frills you really don't need at all! Admit it, you only need to call and text, and that's all! That's why they're called cell phones, because that's what they're meant for!" he would often nag. Right there I stand, flashing a bitter smile. Excuse me, but didn't I say before that I needed my phone to have Internet connectivity, at the least, wifi at its best? Plus, I'm sorry I can't live without a built-in music player, I just need to bring my favorite music along as I don't even have an iPod! Besides, I use my cell phone camera to take pictures of assignments that are too long to write down on my notebook, and if I had a digital camera, perhaps I could do without one, but I don't have any. So this is what I live with. A cell phone is the only tool I have that actually helps me with my studies, not counting my scientific calculator and my laptop. And yet you deny me of a very cheap one when my current phone's in a very nonfunctional condition! You must understand... Yep, I'm a very evil daughter.) So research, research, research do I. Type, type, type. Watch, watch, watch some crazy reviews. Finally I decide on three models: the Nokia 6300 slide, with its 3.2 megapixel camera (no 3G though), the Nokia 7310 Supernova, for its cheap price, and finally, the best among all my players, the Nokia 5320XpressMusic phone.Indeed, you heard it. That's a music phone to suit my lifestyle that fits completely within the price range suggested by my mom... without the wifi.
If I had been the sucker for technology I had been before I would've said "yuck, that won't do." But I was a beggar then. And beggars can never be choosers. So I had my mind set on my phone, and finally my dad asked me for the list of my three chosen phones (apparently he wanted to choose between them all). Suddenly he piped up the outstandingly witty suggestion of searching for a phone beyond the 10,000 price limit, and here it goes. The Nokia E63. As I go through pages describing the product he tells me about having seen it in storewindows before, and about almost, almost getting to buy it, though for some reason he wouldn't buy it at all. Why?! Well, obviously it wasn't for me to know. But I was immediately in love with the phone.
I was on my second review on the Nokia E63, which my dad even watched with me, when suddenly he told me to search for mini-laptops, a request I could definitely not deny, him being my father and all that. So search, search, search for mini-laptops did I, wandering by the Asus and Lenovo sites. He told me to jot down the specs of the two best models, which I did. All the while I was thinking... "Oh, okaaaay," but I kept silent, knowing that a single protest might mean the loss of my phone, which I certainly didn't want.
After that, we went to eat dinner. Not a word was spoken between my family about the phone, so I guess everything was settled, as things were perfectly all right. After eating, I headed back to my mom's laptop, which I happened to be using back then. Suddenly I heard my dad say, quite gruffly, though in a tired and sleepy voice: "You're getting that E63 phone, aren't you? Ah, come on, you'd better start thinking well. You just try bringing it into the gates of your school; I'll congratulate you if it doesn't get stolen." Driven at once by momentary impulse I wanted to scream out loud: "Whaaat?!" though deep inside, I knew he had a point. Hence my current confusion.
I want an E63 phone so badly, but somehow I feel that a 532o might do good enough; why, who says it can't even surpass that low-price communicator's capabilities? Well, that's just one of my problems for tonight. But it's not the only one.
My dad is also making me to choose between a phone and a mini-laptop. I want both, so I'm thinking of compromising the E63. Well what?!
To think that my birthday is coming, and yes it is tomorrow! I turn 15 tomorrow; nothing to be very excited about really, except that I get to celebrate with this new gadget *ahem*. And I don't want to buy my phone on any day except tomorrow, as I continue to believe that birthdays are extremely lucky days.
Any idea as to how I'm going to decide? Quick, before I run out of time!

The Nokia E65 (left) vs. the Nokia 5320 (right). HELP--I'm torn!!!
Oh, and by the way, regarding the new site, I'm a step closer to ordering a domain.Just a few more days(come April, perhaps?)and I WILL be able to set up my site. Cool huh? I'm terribly excited! I just can't wait any longer for that day!
Oh yeah, which reminds me, it's your last time to choose! If you're going to comment of this post (which you will, and I know it! Yes you will... don't you ever deny it. ) well, here's a challenge for you: Take your pick, and I might even give you a special award for helping me name my site! Not only that, I'll award you with a chance to be my very first affiliates! Say, isn't that GREAT? (Mmm-hmm, just as I promised I'm putting up a poll, though I'd really appreciate it if you told me personally--don't forget to cast your vote, though)
Vote wisely... and HAVE FUN helping me name my new home on the Internet! (That sounded much like an advertisement, didn't it. )
Oh, and once again, happy birthday to me.(Dang, there it is. 30 minutes before March 30th.) Because of the phone agreement, I won't be having a party. Sounds reasonable enough, don't you think?
Well, what is? Nothing much, to tell the truth. Except that, well, I'm home. No big deal to it, actually.I just hate it. Because being back in the big city isn't as enchanting as it seems. Read this post for more details--and yes, I do appreciate comments. They are definitely allowed here (why, who said they weren't?)
Just this random photo of the resort I had been to. Take note, this photo does not belong to me; I stole it off somebody's PerfSpot profile. Sorry, whoever you are. I just hope it gets to you that I'm not a ripper, definitely one indeed, as I'm not one of Jack's relatives (sorry about the lame joke, I didn't mean to make it boost your ire, so please. Don't. Have mercy on those who can't stand anger. After all, you did put up those pictures for the purpose of sharing 'em to everybody, right? Oh yeah, but I saw it on the cover of the handbook that was distributed during the workshop. Therefore I'm quite certain you meant it to be this way. )
All riiiight, so sorry about that. I'm just too lazy to upload pics of my own. Dang, isn't that the pool I love? Gosh, that makes me want to return! Noooooo!
Oh please. Take me back. I haven't gotten enough of the place yet. (Oh, how I'll miss 'em old vacation days.)
"AND I SAW YOUR FACE, NOW I'M A BELIEVER. GUESS WHAT. YOU CHANGED MY LIFE. MY FRIKKIN' CATASTROPHIC LIFE." ~Some random quote. Once again I would like to apologize for that.
I don't know. I really don't know. Whether I am or am not, it's not like I would care.
*laughs a sarcastic, barely decent laugh*
Okay, so I'm here in a mountaintop resort in Cardona, Rizal, Kuhala Bay, to be exact, and I've found a way to blog. Whoopee.
I hope my mom doesnt lose any more than 10 bucks on this, as she'll certainly get mad (at me!) if that happens. Soooorreee, Mom. It's just that, well, I'm bored. Just a little bit bored. But well, still bored, as I'm far away from my enjoyment.
*Warrrgsh*
So now that I'm finished being a sound effects girl, I'll give you a few clues as to what's going on over here. It's a given fact that my mom has this program, by her office, which is actually quite big, being attached to the government and a nationwide bureau at that. Basically, if you remember what I said before I started ranting descriptively about my mom's workplace, that's why we're here.
It's okay, actually. I don't really mind going here for that even though I'm not a part of it. In fact, the place is wonderful. It's right next to the Laguna Lake. And it has swimming pools, get what I mean? It means I can swim every single day! And I do. I swim twice a day. I just want to eliminate all these fats that have been bugging me for weeks, as it always annoys me that I can't stay thin any longer than a few months. Maybe something's wrong with my metabolism. I positively hate it. Nevertheless, I TRY my very best to become slim, for I know I'm meant to be slim even in my fantasies.
Moving on from all these issues I have about me, let me just set the record straight: there's nothing I hate about this place. It's beautiful and I'd love to stay here. In fact, I could opt to LIVE here forever if only there weren't accomodation fees to pay and an education back in the city to finish (aww, come on, you're on vacation right now aren't you?) Don't forget to add an INTERNET CONNECTION (which they currently don't have) and I'll be just fine here. Otherwise, I'll go and live in the pool, and you won't be able to get me out of it until you supply me with a laptop and some wifi that actually works. Nah, just kidding. But I definitely will make an escape to my home of chlorinated water, where I truly belong. I think.
Site Updates: Believe it or not, my new site already has a layout, though it hasn't come into existence yet. Why, I don't even know what to call it! Survey: Which would you like better as a name for my new site? Responses would be greatly appreciated, as I am truly at a loss regarding what I must call this site of mine!
The legend of a peaceful nonconformist is coming to your screens...
Can you see it? Or did you?
Indeed, it is the story of a teenager by the name of Cza,
living in a world that is undoubtedly her own.
Obviously the first so-called "introduction" that should have belonged here has been deleted by accident.
Yet that does not matter anymore...
...or does it?
Moving on.
* * *
WHO EXACTLY IS THIS PERSON?
I won't be telling you much about myself because I'm moving to a new site after all, so I bet I need not tell you anything about me until then. All I'll ever tell you is that my name is Cza, one thing which has already been established awhile ago, and that is all you need to know, if you are currently viewing my blog. Soon I'll be moving a new site at vintagerockstar.net or cocktailriot.com, nobody knows when on a very exact basis though I will be doing so this April and that's for sure.
By the way, I just celebrated my birthday and that makes me 15 years old as of March 30, 2009 (yes, March 30 is my birthday and I definitely loved that day. That's because it was also the birthday of my new phone! Hooooray).
I really must apologize for the looks of my site, its being bland and everything. I swear I'll be putting graphical smilies in here later. Must be down for dinner! 'Til then, people!
JUST FOR FUN
I took this test, trying to see what my results would be. I never thought they would they would be this good! Ah, to think I almost made it to the list of 50 highest-valued humans *cough* Certainly President Obama didn't take this test, I can tell.
(Hmm, I wonder how much my cadaver's worth would be--for those who are wondering, indeed there is such a quiz. Why, I wouldn't be telling you this if one didn't exist. Check it out right here: CadaverForSale.comI'm currently in the process of taking the quiz, so... hush! Wait a minute! Results are coming right up! If... I ever get to finish this...

And besides I wouldn't even have cared for an E71 at all--the E63 is all I wanted and all I'll ever want, haha! I love it. Yeah, I definitely do. Once again, I don't know why. All right, so I do. (I'm just addicted to the word, is all. I hope you'll excuse me for acting like this. )
And here are some pictures of my dearest little friend!
(Yes, our camera's fully charged, and PICTURES HAVE ARRIVED!)
My new phone resting on a table in my room.
My phone, upon being held in the hand (yes, my palms are indeed red--just as red as my device, I bet) AHA!
Got my message? (Haha, sorry about the flash.)
He looks so smart and adorable, don't you think?(The phone seems fit for a lady--like me--but it's definitely a he. Then again, I don't know why. He just is.)
Born March 30th was he, on the day of my birthday. I had a really fun and awesome birthday celebration, and I, the celebrant, was HAPPY
Totally cool and amazing *AHEM!* pictures of my fifteenth to follow.
Nothing really special about this picture, except that I'm pretty amazed at how my eyes turned out (even though they're not naturally blue).
That sums up my entry for the moment, so keep on watching out for updates, folks, in the mean time, ta-ta and good luck! Gotta go on improving on my site (yeah, I know, even after I do that it'll still suck. So yeah. Enough of this now before the world crumbles down on top of me. )
And right I'm stuck with the most difficult decision in my life.Well, not really.It's difficult nonetheless.
So here comes my mom, telling me that she finally allows me to get a new phone for my birthday, given its price doesn't exceed ten thousand, and I use it up to my fourth year of high school (that's one year, at the least, as I am an incoming junior here), and I, being grateful for her decision, immediately thanked her for it, and promised I'd give the new phone to my dad (who seldom ever buys new phones for himself, for reasons that "he likes his old phone better," blah blah blah, or that he likes 'em without the other embellishments, though in reality I know he sports a hidden liking for the newer gadgets) if I managed to get a better one (complete with a 5-or-more megapixel camera, wireless LAN, and frills of other sorts), one deal which she agreed to as well, apparently because she was busy playing BookWorm on her laptop, or because she may have liked the idea of me giving out a semi-though-not-quite-high-end cellphone to my dad, who uses one that's been in existence since my second-grade days (not very good, I keep telling him, definitely not good. "Ah, certainly your phone deserves an update!" *offers partly-ruined N73 to him* Why, you could use this, it only needs a few minor repairs. I could give it to you right now... *bats eyelashes* Now that triggers his ire, or rather, some fake ire. "No thank you, and do keep your phone; I like my phones SIMPLE! Why, your making a complete fool of yourself and making your life extremely COMPLICATED!" And so on, so forth. Obviously I'm not a very good kid )
So here it goes. A few minutes pass, and I start searching for phones on the Internet. All of a sudden my dad walks into the picture. I tell him about my idea, certainly not forgetting to stress that my mom has given me the go signal, so chances are slim that he would refuse. Turns out he wouldn't, which was good. In fact, he even encouraged me to research more, so I wouldn't end up getting the wrong phone. ("You'll get me deaf soon with all your complaining about a phone that's good enough to at least WORK, even without those frills you really don't need at all! Admit it, you only need to call and text, and that's all! That's why they're called cell phones, because that's what they're meant for!" he would often nag. Right there I stand, flashing a bitter smile. Excuse me, but didn't I say before that I needed my phone to have Internet connectivity, at the least, wifi at its best? Plus, I'm sorry I can't live without a built-in music player, I just need to bring my favorite music along as I don't even have an iPod! Besides, I use my cell phone camera to take pictures of assignments that are too long to write down on my notebook, and if I had a digital camera, perhaps I could do without one, but I don't have any. So this is what I live with. A cell phone is the only tool I have that actually helps me with my studies, not counting my scientific calculator and my laptop. And yet you deny me of a very cheap one when my current phone's in a very nonfunctional condition! You must understand... Yep, I'm a very evil daughter.) So research, research, research do I. Type, type, type. Watch, watch, watch some crazy reviews. Finally I decide on three models: the Nokia 6300 slide, with its 3.2 megapixel camera (no 3G though), the Nokia 7310 Supernova, for its cheap price, and finally, the best among all my players, the Nokia 5320XpressMusic phone.Indeed, you heard it. That's a music phone to suit my lifestyle that fits completely within the price range suggested by my mom... without the wifi.
If I had been the sucker for technology I had been before I would've said "yuck, that won't do." But I was a beggar then. And beggars can never be choosers. So I had my mind set on my phone, and finally my dad asked me for the list of my three chosen phones (apparently he wanted to choose between them all). Suddenly he piped up the outstandingly witty suggestion of searching for a phone beyond the 10,000 price limit, and here it goes. The Nokia E63. As I go through pages describing the product he tells me about having seen it in storewindows before, and about almost, almost getting to buy it, though for some reason he wouldn't buy it at all. Why?! Well, obviously it wasn't for me to know. But I was immediately in love with the phone.
I was on my second review on the Nokia E63, which my dad even watched with me, when suddenly he told me to search for mini-laptops, a request I could definitely not deny, him being my father and all that. So search, search, search for mini-laptops did I, wandering by the Asus and Lenovo sites. He told me to jot down the specs of the two best models, which I did. All the while I was thinking... "Oh, okaaaay," but I kept silent, knowing that a single protest might mean the loss of my phone, which I certainly didn't want.
After that, we went to eat dinner. Not a word was spoken between my family about the phone, so I guess everything was settled, as things were perfectly all right. After eating, I headed back to my mom's laptop, which I happened to be using back then. Suddenly I heard my dad say, quite gruffly, though in a tired and sleepy voice: "You're getting that E63 phone, aren't you? Ah, come on, you'd better start thinking well. You just try bringing it into the gates of your school; I'll congratulate you if it doesn't get stolen." Driven at once by momentary impulse I wanted to scream out loud: "Whaaat?!" though deep inside, I knew he had a point. Hence my current confusion.
I want an E63 phone so badly, but somehow I feel that a 532o might do good enough; why, who says it can't even surpass that low-price communicator's capabilities? Well, that's just one of my problems for tonight. But it's not the only one.
My dad is also making me to choose between a phone and a mini-laptop. I want both, so I'm thinking of compromising the E63. Well what?!
To think that my birthday is coming, and yes it is tomorrow! I turn 15 tomorrow; nothing to be very excited about really, except that I get to celebrate with this new gadget *ahem*. And I don't want to buy my phone on any day except tomorrow, as I continue to believe that birthdays are extremely lucky days.
Any idea as to how I'm going to decide? Quick, before I run out of time!

The Nokia E65 (left) vs. the Nokia 5320 (right). HELP--I'm torn!!!
Oh, and by the way, regarding the new site, I'm a step closer to ordering a domain.Just a few more days(come April, perhaps?)and I WILL be able to set up my site. Cool huh? I'm terribly excited! I just can't wait any longer for that day!
Oh yeah, which reminds me, it's your last time to choose! If you're going to comment of this post (which you will, and I know it! Yes you will... don't you ever deny it. ) well, here's a challenge for you: Take your pick, and I might even give you a special award for helping me name my site! Not only that, I'll award you with a chance to be my very first affiliates! Say, isn't that GREAT? (Mmm-hmm, just as I promised I'm putting up a poll, though I'd really appreciate it if you told me personally--don't forget to cast your vote, though)
Vote wisely... and HAVE FUN helping me name my new home on the Internet! (That sounded much like an advertisement, didn't it. )
Oh, and once again, happy birthday to me.(Dang, there it is. 30 minutes before March 30th.) Because of the phone agreement, I won't be having a party. Sounds reasonable enough, don't you think?
Well, what is? Nothing much, to tell the truth. Except that, well, I'm home. No big deal to it, actually.I just hate it. Because being back in the big city isn't as enchanting as it seems. Read this post for more details--and yes, I do appreciate comments. They are definitely allowed here (why, who said they weren't?)
Just this random photo of the resort I had been to. Take note, this photo does not belong to me; I stole it off somebody's PerfSpot profile. Sorry, whoever you are. I just hope it gets to you that I'm not a ripper, definitely one indeed, as I'm not one of Jack's relatives (sorry about the lame joke, I didn't mean to make it boost your ire, so please. Don't. Have mercy on those who can't stand anger. After all, you did put up those pictures for the purpose of sharing 'em to everybody, right? Oh yeah, but I saw it on the cover of the handbook that was distributed during the workshop. Therefore I'm quite certain you meant it to be this way. )
All riiiight, so sorry about that. I'm just too lazy to upload pics of my own. Dang, isn't that the pool I love? Gosh, that makes me want to return! Noooooo!
Oh please. Take me back. I haven't gotten enough of the place yet. (Oh, how I'll miss 'em old vacation days.)
"AND I SAW YOUR FACE, NOW I'M A BELIEVER. GUESS WHAT. YOU CHANGED MY LIFE. MY FRIKKIN' CATASTROPHIC LIFE." ~Some random quote. Once again I would like to apologize for that.
I don't know. I really don't know. Whether I am or am not, it's not like I would care.
*laughs a sarcastic, barely decent laugh*
Okay, so I'm here in a mountaintop resort in Cardona, Rizal, Kuhala Bay, to be exact, and I've found a way to blog. Whoopee.
I hope my mom doesnt lose any more than 10 bucks on this, as she'll certainly get mad (at me!) if that happens. Soooorreee, Mom. It's just that, well, I'm bored. Just a little bit bored. But well, still bored, as I'm far away from my enjoyment.
*Warrrgsh*
So now that I'm finished being a sound effects girl, I'll give you a few clues as to what's going on over here. It's a given fact that my mom has this program, by her office, which is actually quite big, being attached to the government and a nationwide bureau at that. Basically, if you remember what I said before I started ranting descriptively about my mom's workplace, that's why we're here.
It's okay, actually. I don't really mind going here for that even though I'm not a part of it. In fact, the place is wonderful. It's right next to the Laguna Lake. And it has swimming pools, get what I mean? It means I can swim every single day! And I do. I swim twice a day. I just want to eliminate all these fats that have been bugging me for weeks, as it always annoys me that I can't stay thin any longer than a few months. Maybe something's wrong with my metabolism. I positively hate it. Nevertheless, I TRY my very best to become slim, for I know I'm meant to be slim even in my fantasies.
Moving on from all these issues I have about me, let me just set the record straight: there's nothing I hate about this place. It's beautiful and I'd love to stay here. In fact, I could opt to LIVE here forever if only there weren't accomodation fees to pay and an education back in the city to finish (aww, come on, you're on vacation right now aren't you?) Don't forget to add an INTERNET CONNECTION (which they currently don't have) and I'll be just fine here. Otherwise, I'll go and live in the pool, and you won't be able to get me out of it until you supply me with a laptop and some wifi that actually works. Nah, just kidding. But I definitely will make an escape to my home of chlorinated water, where I truly belong. I think.
Site Updates: Believe it or not, my new site already has a layout, though it hasn't come into existence yet. Why, I don't even know what to call it! Survey: Which would you like better as a name for my new site? Responses would be greatly appreciated, as I am truly at a loss regarding what I must call this site of mine!
Yaaaaay. First smiley ever. Looooool. 
And the reason I put this smiley here was because it was cute. Tsk tsk tsk. 
) and come back after three or so days just to lock in my apologies and inform you folks that I won't be holding this site much longer, as I have managed to order a domain now and I'm expecting it in a day or so (within 24 hours, it says on the website where I made my purchase, but I don't really trust online ventures, so I'm giving it a time allowance of two days or so from the time we deposited our payment at the bank). That is good news for the people who currently watch over my site, and to myself as well, considering how long I have been intching to have a website of my very own, and now here we are. Almost there. Now it's down to the technical aspects of making the site itself, which I am currently figuring out, thanks to an early lesson on HTML and CSS. (Now this is what I get for insisting on straightening up my Multiply when in fact I ought to be studying. I'm a very good student, aren't I?
