The Bermuda Triangle

Spoiler Warning.

I was reading Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Sea of Monsters and I'm in this Chapter where Percy had a dream about Grover wearing a wedding dress and telling him that he is trapped in the sea of monsters. When Percy woke up, she told Annabeth about it and they talked about the Bermuda Triangle. I was a bit thrilled about the thought of the triangle because I remembered researching about it in the past. So I happen to research about it again to find out what I'm expecting to find.

According to Wikipedia, the boundaries of the triangle cover the Straits of Florida, the Bahamas and the entire Caribbean island area and the Atlantic east to the Azores. I don't know the places but I'm pretty sure it's damn far away from here. All I'm wishing now is if ever I'm going on a trip somewhere riding a plane or whatever, I don't pass that triangle. Does the triangle has something to do with this illuminati bullcrap?

Anyway, some say that the reasons for the disappearances in that triangle are the UFOs, the mythical place Atlantis, a wormhole or some other natural reasons. I don't think it's the UFOs. And so is the wormhole but I have the feeling of agreeing with Atlantis. I sound funny, believing in Atlantis but I don't know, I love the thrill of believing these pieces of non-sense theories and myths. Did I mention I love myths? LOL.

Whatever is in there, I really wanna find out. When I'm a Journalist, I swear that would be the longest article I will ever write about. Might as well write a book about it.

Food for the Brain.

I just discovered this website yesterday and I'm loving it. It's a really good exercise for the brain this summer. Since I'm not attending school for this year, I decided to spend my time studying at home on my own using the internet. I have all the resources, why not use it?

The website, Vocabulary.com, is obviously a site where you can fully enhance your vocabulary by just playing The Challenge. They also have "the quickest dictionary" around. It's a good exercise and really fun 'cause you get a hundred points with every correct answers and when you reach a certain number of points, you get to proceed to the next level and that's exactly what I was looking for! Every level up motivates me to play more and enhance my vocabulary in no time.

For just one day, I've already got some of the achievements! Check this out.

The highlighted ones are the achievements I got. And the others are what I'm still aiming for. :) I dream to reach the Walking Dictionary. >:) I'm doing this to prepare myself for next June because I don't want my brain to rot during my idle this year.

I recommend you check the website out!

Jar of Hearts Acoustic Cover

Check out our acoustic cover of Jar of Hearts, together with my friend Fai.

It all started with a simple idea like "Hey, why don't cover a song?" and then it went like this. I didn't expect it will be like THIS but I think it turned out really good. We recorded this last June 9. Fai only heard the song for like 4 times and he still doesn't know his way around the song but he was as professional as THAT so he tried his best to finish playing it like he's been hearing it for years. While in my case, I have been listening to the song for at least 2 weeks and been loving it ever since.

The song is full of deep emotions put into words by Christina Perri herself according to the internet. She wrote the song when she split ways with her husband. And I recommend this song to everyone, especially those who got their heart broken. :)

I hope you enjoy our cover and if you have any comment, please feel free to let me know!

The Weirdest Dream.

The other night, I had the weirdest dream EVER. It’s not your ordinary dream where you’re just there watching yourself and not feeling anything. It’s WEIRD. If you are familiar with the movie Inception, I sort of had a dream within a dream within a dream within a dream. I can’t remember how many layers my dream went but it felt like I was there waiting for YEARS before I wake up.

It started off when I woke up in the dream and immediately knew I was dreaming. I was in our old house in Bulacan in the Philippines and I was there, lying on my bed and I saw my sister and my mom lying on the other bed inside our bedroom. At first I was like “Oh great, I’m lucid dreaming.” A Lucid Dream is a dream where you are actually aware that you are dreaming. So whenever I get a Lucid Dream, I always do the things I wanted to happen in real life. Like fly, drive a red sports car and run over the civilians (I know this is evil as crap), eat a gallon of ice cream, ride a broomstick and fly like Harry Potter, hug Skandar Keynes etc. Name it. But the dream I had the other night was not like any other Lucid Dream I had. It was different. The feel is different and it’s not like fun to do shitty things at all. It has a dark sense in it. I got scared so I decided to try to wake myself up. I slapped myself a few times but it didn’t work. I banged my head against the wall but it didn’t work as well. I was freaking out. I tried all the things that can hurt me but nothing worked. So I went back to bed and tried to sleep to dream another dream that is at least better than this one. Then again, it didn’t work.

After a while, I found myself waking up. I was a little bit happy about it only to find out that I woke up in a dream again. It happened so many times that I’m getting so crazy and really freaking out in the dream. Then I decided to hug my mom because I thought it will make me less scared. But it didn’t. Next thing I knew, she was laughing real hard and when I looked at her, she’s not my mom anymore. She morphed into something that looked like a Minotaur, or something like a devil. But something tells me it’s a devil that snuck into my dream and scared the crap out of me. The devil took hold of my wrists and kept on laughing. I don’t know what’s so funny but it didn’t stop. Its laugh got louder and louder every moment and I got more scared. So I closed my eyes and prayed to God and ask him to get this devil away from me and when I opened my eyes, the devil turned into dust as it let go of my wrist.

But that wasn't the end of it. After the devil turned into dust, I fell back to sleep and woke up in ANOTHER DREAM! Now, it gets creepier and creepier. I woke up crying in the dream and I looked for my mom. Although she turned into a devil in the previous dream, I still thought that she was my mom so I hugged her real tight and shouted at her ear "Mom if you can hear, wake me up NOW! For goodness' sake WAKE ME UP!" But she just opened her eyes and laughed again. She turned into the devil again and the devil stabbed me not once, but many times in the chest with its sharp nails. And this time, I woke up.

I woke up in our bedroom here in Jeddah and I was so relieved about it. I pinched my cheeks and got hurt and I knew I was really awake. I'm in the reality. I thanked God for still keeping me alive after that dream because really, I thought I was gonna die and I thought that devil was Satan. That night before I went back to sleep again after waking up from a nightmare, I was thinking of writing a goodbye letter to my family because I thought that if THAT dream comes back again, at least I've written my goodbyes.

Vacation in the Philippines

HEYYY GUYS. I'm sorry for not updating so soon after my vacation in the Philippines. Let me make it up to you!

So the picture over there ^ would be me and my long time gay best friend, Louie. We were friends since 3rd Grade and we met again after staying for 3 years here in Jeddah. WHEW Boy that was fun, seeing your long time friend after a while.

We left Jeddah last April 26 and arrived in Ninoy Aquino International Airport the next day. We had a stop over in Riyadh for 2 hours by the way. My aunt and her son, basically my cousin, went to fetch us from the airport. When we came to our house in Pasig City, I noticed that the place was quite different from I thought it looked like 3 years ago. But of course, time passes and things change inevitably so yeah, I got the hang of it.

I also noticed that in the Philippines, there occurs, according to me, the scarcity of space. I'm not stereotyping like "If it's the Philippines, then it should be snug-ish" or something of that sort. We live in Rosario, so it's the type of place where you can hear the noisy streets, noisy people outdoors, noisy Jeepneys and trycicles and all kinds of noises all day long. ALL. DAY. LONG. It's a miracle if by any chance you went there and Pacquiao is in L.A. beating the hell out of the Mexicans. That way, Pasig is quiet and peaceful. LOL. Enough of the blabbering. Here are the photos from my vacation. :)

My cousins (left to right) Ched, Makong, Jastine, Ian, my sister Pam (at the back), my cousin Joshua, Abby and Mariel.

And while waiting outside Club Manila East..

Then after 34534875237423985093485034 years, we got inside at last. What do you expect the first thing we did? CHANGE INTO SWIMSUITS! YAY. And then we jumped to the nearest pool we can spot. LOL.

It was really fun. No words to describe it. Spending your time with your family along with your bestest friend, my life is complete. I love them all and I wouldn't change a thing.

Cirque Du Freak: The Vampire's Assistant by Darren Shan

I just finished reading this book I bought some months ago for 60SR, which is like 700Php or 16USD. This book is actually a collection of the first three books of Cirque Du Freak which are A Living Nightmare, The Vampire's Assistant and the Tunnels of Blood. The book is 600 plus pages thick! And I was surprised I finished it in just a matter of 3 days. I was suppose to finish it at 2, but I was busy preparing for a vacation in the Philippines and some appointments.

Cirque Du Freak is WAAAAAAAAAAAY better than Twilight. I've read Twilight halfway and got bored. All I've read was Bella's crave for Edward. NOTHING BUT ROMANCE. I know, I've read the wrong book. I tried reading it, I was curious why people loved Twilight so much. I'm not fond of romantic stories, actually.

But this book, tell you now, is very good. It hooked me up. Got me reading for the whole day. The chapters are making me want to read more. Almost every chapter is a cliffhanger, that's why.

I'm not really a vampire fan, but I really really liked the story. I can't wait to read the rest of the series.

ON THE OTHER HAND, I watched the movie this morning and got really disappointed. The book is better, and the movie didn't even give justice to the book. The movie twisted the story, but I understand because it would be boring if they made it identical to the book. They said it was "Based" on the book, they meant they actually based it, not copied the entire story. Well, I know you get my point anyway.

Check out the trailer:

PS: I find Chris Massoglia, the one who played as Darren Shan, very hot. :">

PPS: I just thought I've never blogged about my Narnia obsession. LOL. Will blog about it later.

My Perfect World on Wattpad.com

I wasn't able to post another blog because I was busy writing my first story on Wattpad! Click on the photo above to read the story. :)

So let me tell you about my first story. It's about a girl who was born with a mutation called "Alexandria's Genesis" or in the myths, they were called the "Spirit People". They don't have facial hairs except for the eyebrows, eyelashes, nose hairs and the hairs on the head. They were called perfect. And the most noticeable feature they have is their violet eyes. Now, in my story, there's a husband and a wife who had a baby with this mutation. They tried their best to hide the secret because the last person who had this mutation existed centuries ago and that they are worried that their daughter will be the center of the news. They wanted her to have a normal life like the normal kids have. I have posted up until Chapter 6 and you guys better check it out! Vote or like or do whatever you want! If you promote it, I love you then! LOL.

If you have a Wattpad account, please be a fan and I'll fan back if your story is interesting!

Tamagoyaki or Japanese Omelet.

I cooked this omelet just this morning. I didn't know that there was something like "Japanese" omelet and the cooking style is actually different from what we are used to. Here's the Recipe:

Ingredients:

• 5 eggs
• 1 tbsp. sugar
• 1/4 tsp. salt
• 1/2 tsp. soy sauce (but instead of soy sauce, I overlooked the recipe on the net and thought it was fish sauce lol, still tastes good though)
• cooking oil

Procedure:

• Mix all the ingredients in bowl.
• Heat the pan (any cooking pan will do) and put a little amount of oil.
• Pour at least 1/4 of the egg mixture in the pan and let it cook in Medium heat.
• When it's cooked, start rolling.
• Pour another quarter of the egg mixture when the first layer is done rolling.
• Repeat the same process until you finish your mixture.
• Let it cool for about 5 minutes then slice.
• Serve.

It's so tasty. Unlike the ordinary omelet that we cook, this Japanese style omelet is very delicious and full of flavor since we added the sauces and sugar. I recommend you try it.

Here's a YouTube video of how to cook this omelet right.

Blackberry Curve 9300

So last night, my mom bought me a Blackberry Curve 9300, which is also my sisters unit. Pretty weird actually, living with my sister whose phone is the same as mine. LOL. Like it's really confusing.

We went to Zain in Sari, near Jarir Bookstore, and purchased this Curve and it comes with a Zain Sim Card, which I gave to my father since I already have my own Zain Sim Card and I'm using it for almost 3 years. We bought the BB for only SR1000, which is lower than it's price before. I think it was about SR1,300 some months ago. Here it is!

The box is pretty neat and I like it's simplicity. It comes with a manual, a charger with 2 kinds of adapters, some user tools, a warranty requisition card and earphones. Here are some other photos I took with my sister's Curve. (which is basically the same quality as mine)

Oh and you will notice in this last photo, I already put on some screen protector and a red casing, just to make it fancier. LOL.
