Shambhala is a Tibetan Buddhist mythical kingdom. It is said to be a place of tranquility and happiness. That's all that I know about it. My mom has read a lot of books about Shambhala. She liked its meaning and so, she decided to call our farm "Shambhala". They are still developing it though.
We went there yesterday. I woke up at 1:30 AM (I have no idea why) but we left at about 6 AM. I was podcasting the whole morning. Lol. Our farm is located in Silang, Cavite. It is near Tagaytay (a popular tourist spot).
I have vanity photos while I was in the car. It took us about 2 hours to get there. What can I do?
***Thank You Dashing Diva for my Butterfly Net nails.
When I went there for the first time (around December - January), it was just a piece of land with tons of grass, coffee and pineapples. Now, it's something else. There was still tons of grass and some coffee trees, but all the pineapples were removed. My mom didn't like a pineapple farm. Everyone in Tagaytay area had pineapple farms so we decided to be different. By the way, the farm is family owned (by my immediate family-- dad, mom, elder bro & I) but my mom is like the "main" person in-charge.
They are building huts and not just ordinary beach huts. The huts that are being built are Ifugao huts. Ifugao tribes live in the northern mountains. These huts are from the Ifugao area in Northern Philippines. My mom even went to the north just to observe the huts. The huts that are being built are authentic Ifugao huts. They were brought from the north to the south. Maybe I should just say those huts are being assembled since it really is. My mom bought these huts from the Ifugaos and the people who are assembling it are from Mountain Province (I think). So, it means that the people who are assembling it are the one who really know how to. It's not some kind of imitation. Lol. My mom just modified some parts of the design. The Ifugaos have a certain way of building huts and weaving the roof. Since my mom modified it, she would know when someone copies her idea and she will be furious when she finds out. Argh, if you are someone who's planning to develop a resort, do not copy the things that you will see in the photos. I will haunt you. I swear.
Actually, these huts are not yet done. They need some more stuff so that the quality will be great. The model-skinny ladders are temporary. Lol.
We sorta went hiking. The land was steep and the other parts were very slippery. It was fun though. We walked down the steep path and even had sticks for support (sorta like skiing). We even encountered a shallow stream (it's shallow because it didn't rain). When we climbed back up. It was slippery because of the grass.
That's just the part when we were going down. When we were down there, that's when we saw the stream. I also took a few shots of those things that I saw down there.
The stream is actually tempting. I wanted to jump in (haha. I actually almost slipped in). If there were no litter, I definitely jumped in, but the people who uses the stream left litter. So mean.
We also went to Tagaytay. We stayed at Starbucks for a while. The Taal Volcano view is so beautiful. Although it was quite sunny in the morning, the air was a bit cool. In the afternoon, while we were at Starbucks, the sun hid itself. The temperature was cooler.
Look at the photos I took. They are pretty. Don't deny it. Hehe. There's Taal Volcano and Mt. Makiling too. I think Mt. Makulot is also visible from that place, but I don't think that I snapped it well. Lol.
Well, this is the secret path. It's the path to Shambhala.
I wanted to upload pics of the plants, but I'm too tired. I still got that tormenting headache and I still need to review some Japanese for tomorrow's class.
Busy. Later.

I gotta new header. Check it out!
Before talking about my real pet peeve. I'm gonna let you meet my pets first.
Well, I had my pets since the 15th. If you read "OH MY GOSH! I LOOK LIKE... whatever!" then you probably know how much I wanted pets. Anyway, I went to the Bioresearch store in SM Megamall. I wanted a pair Abyssinian cavies but there was none. I just got American cavies, which are cute too. Lol. BTW, cavies are also known as guinea pigs (I read about this somewhere). The names of my pets are 健太郎 (Kentarou) and 夏子 (Natsuko). They are so adorable. They are getting really fat because they love eating.
These are the both of them, cuddling! They are just 3 months old (according to the pet shop helper). They really like staying close to one another.
This is Kentarou. He is the "big boy". He is really fat. Well, this picture was taken on the 16th. He is not this skinny anymore. Lol.
This is Natsuko. At first, she was really shy. She ran away and hid behind Kentarou whenever someone approaches, but now I think she is comfortable in her new home. Lol.
So those are my cute pets.
...and now for my pet peeve.
Last Monday, I started attending the Beginner's Short Intensive course at the University of the Philippines' Asian Center. I already know how to write Kana (syllabic Japanese scripts; refers to both Hiragana and Katakana) and some Kanji (Chinese characters used by the Japanese), but I started from the very beginning because I want more details about the really basic stuff. Lol.
Anyway, during our breaks, we can do whatever we like. Some go to the toilet, others go out to eat, and some just stay inside (perhaps because our room was air-conditioned and it was sizzling hot outside -- think of a 35°C temperature). There are only 7 of us in that class and unfortunately, someone got on my nerves. I was really irritated. I was annoyed when someone played loud Japanese songs and sang even louder. Japanese songs are good but I don't like it when someone sings out loud... like REALLY loud. I was a meter away. That's what made it worse. I could hear it loud and clear. My other classmates and I were talking and we could not even hear each other. That's how loud it was. I wouldn't disclose the name of the person because I don't want to ridicule him. I'm just expressing my annoyance. This person seems to be an Otaku. Otakus are those who love anime, manga, video games, and the like. They love those SO MUCH and it seems like their worlds revolve around those. I think Otakus are not really bad people because when I watched Densha Otoko the Otaku lead saved the lady. Lol. Anyway, I'm not sure if the person that I'm talking about is really an Otaku, but if he is, maybe the Otakus in Akihabara would denounce him. Lol. It's fine if he wants to sing Japanese songs, specifically anime themes, but he should be sensitive because:
1. There are people around him.
2. WE WERE IN A CLOSED ROOM.
3. He does not sing well. (I'm being polite.. if you know what I mean)
That guy even SCREAMED when he played rock songs. That really annoyed me. The healthiness of our learning environment is slowly deteriorating because of that. He did this a lot of times. NOT JUST ONE SONG. Come on, playing really loud music in such a small space is annoying as it is. Why should he add to our misery by singing and screaming loudly? What a pain~!
Anyway, I don't want to add a lot of details. I want to prevent my evil tongue fingers.

Okay, so I made a totally serious post before this and I deleted it. I suddenly had a change of mood. Well, that's good right? I'm not so miserable and melancholic anymore. I'm even kinda hyper in a way. Anyway, right now, I'm waiting for the U.P. Freshman website to work. I was there a while ago. I was working perfectly fine until it timed out, and never worked again. Err. The U.P. Freshman Homepage is working but the enlistment page is what I need (what all freshmen need, actually). Ah, what'll I do while waiting? Hmm, review my Japanese lessons? Too lazy. Do some exercise? Too tired. Walk around the house? Too dizzy. Well, I guess I just have to do NOTHING. Lol.
Anyway, I already started uploading songs but it's not a lot. There are just about 5 songs in my audio stuff. Lol. I can't think of other good songs to upload.
Oh well, I'm off to my messengers.
Goodluck to my headache.
See ya.

A few days ago, I went to the JJ mode. It's the website of this really fabulous Japanese magazine, JJ. So anyway, I browsed the stuff there and I saw an accessory brand called KOBE Vingtaine. I browsed through their stuff and I was really excited when I saw heart-shaped things (I think I've already mentioned that I like heart). The last entry was a pink gold heart necklace with pink rhinestones. YOU MUST CLICK THE LINK! It's so cute!! (remember, I am biased because I love hearts!)
I suddenly remembered something! When people ask me what I want I usually say nothing or if ever I say something, it's not so affordable. So now, for those people who are asking, I want KOBE Vingtaine stuff! Their stuff are not really expensive. OH! My debutante ball is in 8 months. Christmas is in 8 months too!! I blogged about this so that I won't forget to say "KOBE Vingtaine stuff" when people ask me about presents! Lol.
Honestly, I wanted a heart necklace from someone special, like a bf or something, but since I don't have that, then I'll just wait until someone (whoever it is) to give me KV stuff for Christmas or something. LOOOOL.
I'm totally hyper.
I heart HEARTS!
BTW, if you're gonna go to my debutante ball and you have a budget, KV stuff will be just fine. I mean TOTALLY FINE, but you have to tell me which stuff first! Unless it's the necklace on the linked page.
I didn't want to buy it online because:
1. I haven't tried purchasing anything online.
2. I don't know if they can deliver it here.
3. I want it to have the ULTIMATE sentimental value, if you know what I mean. Lol.
So anyway, that's it. I just got super excited because I already know (exactly) what I want.
I wish there was a KOBE Vingtaine store here.

p.s.
Chopard is ok as a present. Definitely ok. LOL.
This style is like... 2 years old already, but I don't mind. It's definitely pretty. I just don't know if they still sell it.
Dear You,
You're probably thinking I've forgotten all about you by now, but that's far from it.
I have missed you every waking day and my heart still hurts, but I'm getting better.
I continue to smile and still go on without you.
I know I have missed you, but I have kept it all inside of me, only for me to know (but now maybe you know too).
I still wonder about your doings, how you are, what you're doing, and what we used to talk about.
Just, everything. I miss it all.
However, I feel that the parting of us was for the best, because everything happens for a reason (and I guess this is what you really wanted -- right from the start).
Should destiny put us into a crossing road in the future, that is when I will see you again (and I hope when this time comes, you'll tell me all the things that trouble you).
Until then, remember this; No matter what, even through the fights (which I know I started but it was because you never had the strength to say anything), the disagreements, mistakes and the tears we've cried (Have you ever even cried because of these?); though I saw this as a possible outcome, I took the risk and gave you my all.
Never, ever, did I give up on you. (even now)
Do not give up on yourself.
Believe.
Anything is possible.
I hope you find your real friends there.
I hope you're always happy, but if you ever need a helping hand, do not hesitate to ask.
I may be far away, but I will always be in reach.
爱你，宝贝

p.s.
got this from SoDamnGlamorous but I edited it a bit so that I could relate it to what's happening.
p.p.s
I promise that I won't annoy/bother you anymore so read it well, but if you really really absolutely need anything, you know I can't refuse you (kahit Chippy pa yun).
I was supposed to blog about this yesterday, but then I suddenly got disconnected and I was a bit sleepy so I didn't do it.
ANYWAY...
Yesterday, My mom, brother and I went to Makati City. My brother proctored for an exam in my dad's class (my dad is out of town and he's only gonna be returning today). My mom and I just stayed at Glorietta. I even bought new nail chips. Lol. We waited for my brother to finish so after going to Glorietta, we went to Arts of Asia. It's an Asian antique store and you can only enter by appointment. LOOOL.
Well, my mom likes Asian antique and you can see that in our house:
See?! What did I just tell you? Hahaha.
After that, we had dinner at Greenbelt. We ate at a Japanese Restaurant called Sugi. The place is great. The food is great too! (you know, I am biased about everything East Asian.. especially Japanese!)
Are you getting hungry? Lol.
Here's a photo of my mom and Tita Edna (Happy Birthday!):
...and my proctor brother:
Sugi is a nice place. I give it 4.5 out of 5 hearts. (Loool. I like hearts more than stars)
If you like Japanese food, you should check it out. :)
Anyway, this Japanese talk makes me want to show off my girly Pocari Sweat ad!
PRESENTING the girly side of Pocari Sweat...
The newest member of the Pocari Sweat family (WTH! HAHAHA!)..
Missy's FINGERNAILS (and other stuff)!! Lol.
Okay, I think this Pocari Sweat ad should close this entry!
(Dear Pocari Sweat people,
If you want my fingernails to be in the girly Pocari Sweat ad. Tell me. HAHAHA!)

Thank you Dashing Diva for my Bollywood Tailor Fit nails!
Well, I'm supposed to go to the university infirmary to have my medical check-up. It is a requirement and I needed parental consent for that because I am below 18. My dad is in the office and my mom went to her farm. My consent form was not signed so I wasn't able to go.
Kuya (older brother) told me that he'll come with me to the mall (I want to buy a pet), but he still has class. So I'm stuck home, waiting. I REALLY WANT A PET. I will be patient!
Anyway, to kill my boredom, I decided to visit MyHeritage. I tried their face recognition thingy (again). I think I've used the face recognition service too many times. Lol.
Here are the results:
OKAY.. That's my kindergarten photo. It's blurry 'cause I didn't have it scanned. I just to a photo of it. Lol.
That was me THEN.. this is me NOW..
Can you see the difference?
OF COURSE YOU CAN! (Unless you're totally blind)
Oh!!! Kuya's here! Gotta run!

Right now, my poor ears are suffering. Some people outside are singing and I'm 99.9% positive that they are using a videoke microphone (I'm positive because this isn't the first time they did this!).
(For those of you who are not familiar with the videoke, it's the same as the karaoke/KTV.)
In the Philippines, there's such a thing called Magic Sing. I think it's the most popular karaoke microphone. You just have to connect it to your TV and boom! You'll have instant karaoke access.
I don't really wanna be a bitch but I really find these things annoying:
1.) They started singing at about 23:30. (HELLO! NORMAL PEOPLE ARE SLEEPING)
2.) They are too LOUD.
3.) Karaoke Microphone's have this lyric display option. UNFORTUNATELY, they still sing the wrong lyrics.
Ugh, it's annoying. I can't really say that they are disturbing my sleep because I can't really sleep due to me stress-induced insomnia (check my profile). I'm just annoyed because the other people in our house are already sleeping. My parents have something important to do tomorrow and they have to wake up early. Ah, poor them, but POORER me. Aside from being the CLOSEST to the sound source, even if I have insomnia, I want to sleep. If you have already checked my profile, you'll see that I could sleep if I cry myself to sleep. How could I concentrate on doing that with this environment? Even if I want to cry because my ears are in freakin' pain, I just can't! Maybe because although I am annoyed, my evilness just makes me want to laugh at them. Haha. BUT DO NOT THINK THAT I AM ENTERTAINED BY THEM. I just have this evil habit of laughing at people I don't like (it's not easy to change you know!). Aside from laughing at the people who annoy me, I also enjoy criticizing them when I get really pissed off. Actually, I was chatting with Ara when they started singing and she told me that she doesn't know if she'll feel pity for my hurt ears or for those people that I am backstabbing (well, I don't really know them). *EVIL GRIN*
Anyway, these people should really try using soundproof materials. THEY ARE DISTURBING THE PEACE IN OUR COMMUNITY. They also don't have exceptional singing talent. I know I don't have an angelic voice too, but at least I don't display my lack of singing talent. Fine, call me an evil tongue all you want, but what I'm saying is true (at least I'm honest). They also SHOUTED the karaoke hit "I WILL SURVIVE". They also sang the song that goes like.. "Heto ako, basang-basa sa ulan! Walang masisilungan! (Here I am. Drenched in the rain! Without any shelter!)" I don't know the title of the song but.. damn, that was nasty!
WTH. They're shouting another song (I can't really call it singing 'cause they sound like an angry mob). I dunno the title, but I'm guessing that it's an old song. AH! NOW THEY ARE SCREAMING AT EACH OTHER. I guess they're fighting over the next song.
Their "lead vocalist" (which I assume is female), sounds feminine at the beginning but at some parts she sounds like a tenor, bass or even baritone. Oh! I guess I might take back what I said about them not having singing talent. That lady's a whole choir. Lol.
Anyway, I'm really losing the mood to blog. They are terrible (a while ago I typed meaner words but I wanted to be nice so I just said 'terrible').
This is what they are singing now...
"I LAB YU GUDBAY!!!!!! (I'm guessing that it's supposed to be "I love you, goodbye")"
Ah well then, they screamed what I wanted to say.
So, see ya!
爱你，宝贝
Missy ;)
p.s.
ULOOOOL! MAY NAGSSECOND VOICE PA! HAHAHA!
(Crazy people! They even have someone who does the second voice! Hahaha!)
Haha. The title seems a bit serious. Lol.
Well, I have just finished uploading some ball photos. Look at them and comment if you feel like it.
For all those who are asking, I didn't bring a date to the ball.
Oh, poor me. Lol.
Initially, I wanted to bring a date. I actually had someone in mind, but then, as the ball was approaching, I realized that I didn't like him as much as I used to. There was just something that turned me off. Lol.
Some of my tablemates, Abi, Pam and Lea, didn't bring dates too (Lea and I kinda regret it), but overall, it was fun. We were just socializing, taking photos, and meeting new people... blah blah blah (you know, those things).
At midnight, fireworks filled the sky. So nice! I wanted to upload the video here, but the file size was too big.
So, I ended up uploading it on YouTube
Pretty, right?
After the ball, Lea stayed in our house. We had a sleepover!
The next day, we went to Katipunan Avenue, but that's another story.
Anyway, I'm gonna fix my profile now.
Check this out before you go:
Ah, looks fun, right?

旋转。 跳跃。 我闭着眼。。
(Spinning. Jumping. I close my eyes..)
This is the first line of 蔡依林's (Cai Yi Lin; Jolin Tsai) song entitled "舞娘 (wu niang; Dancing Diva)“. I've been practicing this dance since last night (Actually I started dancing this last Christmas break but I didn't finish it. I'm continuing it now). I'm trying to copy each step because I don't want to distort the original dance. I think it's nice. I just might not do the stunt part. Lol. Okay, I think nobody has ever seen me dance. Ah, I think even imagining it is no good. Lol. So anyway, this is what I've been up to (that's why I was away yesterday and a while ago). Argh, my body hurts, but it was worth it. I had fun.
OH, if you think I'm like a grandma whose body is hurt by some movements, THINK AGAIN.
I didn't have arthritis!
This dance will really make your body hurt. Lol. Unless you are exceptionally good.
SEE?!?! I told you so. Haha.
My brother even danced to this music. It was so funny! I didn't have a chance to record it because when I opened the camera he suddenly wanted to leave. Haha.
Anyway, dancing this and seeing my brother dance to this song really amused me. It cheered me up a bit. It made me forget for a while (AHA, now that's what the title is all about!). I wanted to forget about my recent misfortunes (losing the ring, F.O., harassment.. those things).
About the harassment thing, it's harassment by online people. VERBALLY HARASSING ME FOR THE PAST FEW DAYS. Damn, This morning, I mean about 3 AM, I went to Xiaxue's blog and read her entry about molesters. I suddenly thought of fighting the person who harasses me. Haha. The best thing to do: BLOCK! It's the internet, that's all I can do, but if it was non-online harassment, I would've kicked his ass. Lol.
Even though I seem so happy and carefree, I'm not so secure. I still feel a bit scared because I think that person had a multiple personality disorder -- GONE BAD (not just the ordinary one). I think that person has the type that's REALLY harmful (I told you, it's not the regular kind). So anyway, I got really scared and pissed off at the same time. It was unexplainable. Totally. I don't really want to elaborate on that matter.
I think if I write the whole story it'll be too long and VOX's bandwidth will suffer. Lol.
I'll just end here. I'm kinda dizzy from all that spinning and jumping. So i'll close my eyes now. (CORNY!)
AH~ seriously, I think I'm gonna have a headache.
爱你，宝贝
