As it comes to an End

Yay! School is over and its' summer time already. (I make no excuses for not writing more often). We'll, shut them books and throw 'em away 
Say goodbye to dull school days. It's time to live and have some thrills. Well, no more studyin' EX PSY. I'm done with it, finally!
last day of school
But it seems like my plate is still full! I need a vacation! Applying for an internship have been rather hectic. I submitted my resume last Sunday to different companies and I haven't received any positive response yet.

Below are the 2 last e-mail I have received. 

I sent an email to the US Embassy, Manila

Dear Sir/Madam,

In view of this, I wish to apply for the internship.

Hoping for your favorable response on the matter.
Thank you.

ahhhhh! I'm impatient. I just can't wait no more. I'm really excited and I want to start my internship now!
I'll keep my fingers crossed. 

In all things it is better to hope than to despair!!

Yesterday, I went to school for OJT seminar then a night out with friends in Seafood Island and Uncle Cheffy. 

Getting ridiculously restless and out of line Added to a bunch of folks drinking and hell vent on making fun of each other and everything else.

Some things I may forget today, 
And some things I may never recall, 
But that place, those days,
I have no trouble remembering that, at all.

picture perfect

Hello! Happy weekend!
I'll admit I had a story in mind for you today.
but in the end I have decided to start a photoblog instead.


So, let me paint the picture for you. 


Aftershock
 Chinese drama movie, a realistic recreation of the 1976 Tangshan earthquake that took the lives of 240,000 people. One of the most engrossing and moving films I've seen in recent years.
My top tip would be to take enough paper handkerchiefs with you when you watch this. Put this on your "must see" list.

My tasty pursuit of the week. 
Cordon bleu with mushroom sauce and baked macaroni could be the best combination in the world.

So we played DrQuack Quack after group 3's SLE


ETERNO: The Legacy Continues
 Sadly, I wasn't able to catch it. FAIL. but I did get to watch it on Youtube.
Hello na lang sa'yo Adams.. 


A study on the behavior of male hamsters before and after the intake of drugs
Nicotine solution, MSG, gin and gluthatione solution were the drugs given to them.

I Joined PETA today! People Eating Tasty Animals. Joke!
I'm not a vegan but I'm a supporter of animal rights. Most assuredly. I am very passionate about all animals and I want to protect them anyway I can possible. 
Bob
 The fattest and biggest hamster I've ever seen. Almost a size of a guinea pig.  


Arranque market
We were supposed to get to Cartimar but apparently it's time constraining so we went to Arranque instead. It is a huge outdoor wet and dry market where on one corner sits the animal market. Like everything else in Chinatown, the animal market spills right onto the sidewalk.

FM in Republiq

You’ve been grooving to their beat with their “Like a G6″ hit.  And now you can personally witness them live! Unfortunately, I can't goThis is a...crap! 
Kev Nish someday we'll meet beyond the time and the bars. 

I love Bruno Mars songs 
with lyric ability like that, it is no surprise. 
Don't be greedy, let's pass it along and make sure everyone gets a ticket. Just pass.


 The most sinful chocolate cake. 
Oh goody! Tease your taste buds. Dear mom, make me a version of this. 

This is exactly how I picture myself with Nemanja
Let's make love all night long
Until all our strength is gone

Darling, I'm good at this.
If you ask me what's the sexiest thing someone could do, it is to think and imagine.

Letters to the Immortal Beloved


The First Letter
   July 6, in the morning
My angel, my all, my very self - Only a few words today and at that with pencil (with yours) - Not till tomorrow will my lodgings be definitely determined upon - what a useless waste of time - Why this deep sorrow when necessity speaks - can our love endure except through sacrifices, through not demanding everything from one another; can you change the fact that you are not wholly mine, I not wholly thine - Oh God, look out into the beauties of nature and comfort your heart with that which must be - Love demands everything and that very justly - thus it is to me with you, and to your with me. But you forget so easily that I must live for me and for you; if we were wholly united you would feel the pain of it as little as I - My journey was a fearful one; I did not reach here until 4 o'clock yesterday morning. Lacking horses the post-coach chose another route, but what an awful one; at the stage before the last I was warned not to travel at night; I was made fearful of a forest, but that only made me the more eager - and I was wrong. The coach must needs break down on the wretched road, a bottomless mud road. Without such postilions as I had with me I should have remained stuck in the road. Esterhazy, traveling the usual road here, had the same fate with eight horses that I had with four - Yet I got some pleasure out of it, as I always do when I successfully overcome difficulties - Now a quick change to things internal from things external. We shall surely see each other soon; moreover, today I cannot share with you the thoughts I have had during these last few days touching my own life - If our hearts were always close together, I would have none of these. My heart is full of so many things to say to you - ah - there are moments when I feel that speech amounts to nothing at all - Cheer up - remain my true, my only treasure, my all as I am yours. The gods must send us the rest, what for us must and shall be -
Your faithful LUDWIG.


The Second Letter
   Evening, Monday, July 6
You are suffering, my dearest creature - only now have I learned that letters must be posted very early in the morning on Mondays to Thursdays - the only days on which the mail-coach goes from here to K. - You are suffering - Ah, wherever I am, there you are also - I will arrange it with you and me that I can live with you. What a life!!! thus!!! without you - pursued by the goodness of mankind hither and thither - which I as little want to deserve as I deserve it - Humility of man towards man - it pains me - and when I consider myself in relation to the universe, what am I and what is He - whom we call the greatest - and yet - herein lies the divine in man - I weep when I reflect that you will probably not receive the first report from me until Saturday - Much as you love me - I love you more - But do not ever conceal yourself from me - good night - As I am taking the baths I must go to bed - Oh God - so near! so far! Is not our love truly a heavenly structure, and also as firm as the vault of heaven?


The Third Letter
   Good morning, on July 7
Though still in bed, my thoughts go out to you, my Immortal Beloved, now and then joyfully, then sadly, waiting to learn whether or not fate will hear us - I can live only wholly with you or not at all - Yes, I am resolved to wander so long away from you until I can fly to your arms and say that I am really at home with you, and can send my soul enwrapped in you into the land of spirits - Yes, unhappily it must be so - You will be the more contained since you know my fidelity to you. No one else can ever possess my heart - never - never - Oh God, why must one be parted from one whom one so loves. And yet my life in V is now a wretched life - Your love makes me at once the happiest and the unhappiest of men - At my age I need a steady, quiet life - can that be so in our connection? My angel, I have just been told that the mailcoach goes every day - therefore I must close at once so that you may receive the letter at once - Be calm, only by a calm consideration of our existence can we achieve our purpose to live together - Be calm - love me - today - yesterday - what tearful longings for you - you - you - my life - my all - farewell. Oh continue to love me - never misjudge the most faithful heart of your beloved.
ever thine
ever mine
ever ours

Background
After Beethoven's death in March 1827 two documents were discovered in his desk. These were the Heiligenstadt Testament and the love letters shown above. The passionate feelings manifested in these letters where addressed to a person unknown. Many have speculated over whom might be the recipient, made more difficult by the fact that there is no year or place given on the letters. There are a number of preferred candidates for the Immortal Beloved title. These are Giulieta Guicciardi, Thereza von Brunswick, Amalia Seebald and Antonie Brentano. All of these women are known to have been the object of Beethoven’s affection at one time or another. But Solomon, following Beethoven's date on the letters, his movement during the period (1812) and studying the persons close to Beethoven, has come to the solution that Antoine Brentano must be the answer, now generally accepted as being correct.

My Days Have Been So So Great.
I have become a blogoholic. I can’t seem to get enough. The stories, the pictures, the constant inspiration! I love it all.


So, As I was laying in bed, for some reason my mind was just running and running over how many things I am grateful for, and how lucky I am.
We all complain when life seems unfair to us. We have never taken into account how much we are blessed. Well, God has been good to me. And I'm trying to be good for it! 
I learn from my mistakes. It's a very painful way to learn, but without pain, the old saying is, there's no gain.
I have learnt to look at myself the way I believe God looks at me. I have burnt negative comments about myself. But I still have a way to go. I now have to put into practice the things I have learnt.




I decided I should update my Xanga account too along with everything else. 
Kahit maraming Incorrect grammar (Is it willful ignorance) Oh! really Shari? HahaPlease do visit my other site http://sharibautista.xanga.com/

This is all to tell you that I think we need to stop judging people by their grammar.
We should judge people by their ideas, their creativity, their enthusiasm. None of this naturally comes at the heels of good grammar. 



UST largest human cross
Silaw

Pyromusical competition at MOA. 
Beautiful and impressive.  Ten of the world’s best pyrotechnic artists hit the shores of the Manila Bay. They light up the skies with explosive lights and colors, synched with electrifying music.

I'm grateful for this but all I want is a DLSR.

Tasty pursuits

Here is a list of my favorite foods. The ones I tend to crave last week (Feb. 28- March 5). Isang linggong ligaya! (It's not what you think) lol! 


Yes, everyday I do you struggle with food cravings. The "gotta have it now" feeling that makes me act like a drug addict. 
What I want one day is completely different from the next. I'm spending too much and I need to slow down again...

Buster size "Nutting hill' from Cerealicious
where you can experiment with assorted cereal brands, different kinds of toppings, syrups, ice cream and a wide variety of milk choices.

Fresh lumpia
This is the reason why I keep coming back to Goldilocks. Aside from their delish baked lasagna.

KFC Double down. 
NO ORDINARY Chicken sandwich! Although it is intended as a sandwich, I prefer to eat this with rice! 

Super meal.
 This is one of my favorite meal in Jollibee.

McSpaghetti
McSpaghetti from Mcdonald's consists of spaghetti noodles served in sweet tomato-based sauce, hot dogs and grated pasteurized cheese.

Green mangoes with shrimp paste
at Abe, it was price at P95.00 per serving.

Fettuccini Alfredo
I love pasta, in whatever shapes or forms.  Don Henrico's. This Italian restaurant is one of the best places if you are craving for Italian food.

Nothing can save me from cravings or binging.
Oooh, I can't wait to rock my drool foods list next week!
