Music Monday: Cinderella

Finally, I have gotten back myself to participate on Music Monday! It has been really a very long time since I have featured a song in this blog.

Anyway, I am going to share with you a song from Steven Curtis Chapman, the person who sang the romantic song for couples 'I Will Be Here'. This song is called Cinderella, which I though at first is a love song. But as I listened to it again and again (its melody by the way is so nice and comforting), I realized the song tells about a father and daughter.

Here's the song:



She spins and she sways
To whatever song plays
Without a care in the world
And I'm sitting here wearing
The weight of the world on my shoulders

It's been a long day
And there's still work to do
She's pulling at me
Saying "Dad, I need you

There's a ball at the castle
And I've been invited
And I need to practice my dancing
Oh, please, Daddy, please?"

So I will dance with Cinderella
While she is here in my arms
'Cause I know something the prince never knew
Oh, I will dance with Cinderella
I don't want to miss even one song
'Cause all too soon the clock will strike midnight
And she'll be gone...

Chick Flicks Marathon

Lately, I have been doing movie marathons via the internet. Movies of romantic comedy genres have been my favorite flicks to watch and so I did some research on the great feel-good movies and so far I enjoyed watching them.

These are the movies I watched so far:

The list does not stop here, since I still have to search for more great chick flicks, like The Prince and Me, The Perfect Man, and so much more. Well, it wouldn't be hard for me at all to look for these movies online because Rapidshare Search Engine is readily available to supply me the files and links.

Thanks to Rapidshare, I even got to download the four Twilight Saga audio books and listen to them at my convenient hour.

Well, gotta search for movies again. . .

Sandara and Cass Beer

I have been a Herosan (Hero-Sandara) follower way way back their Star Circle Quest days. I remembered very well I was still pregnant with my second kid that time, and I never fail to watch the episodes of the reality search show.

Anyway, Sandara has gone back to Korea and as far far as stardom is concerned, she has already become a sensation in Korea. Being part of the famous Korean group 2ne1, Sandara further soared high via her recent commercial featuring a beer brand in Korea. She is paired with no less than Lee Min Hoo (Gu Jun Pyo) of the very renowned Boys over Flower teleseries, and I must admit they are quite a lovely and promising pair.

Here's the preview of the beer commercial:

Sandara Park / Lee Min Hoo - Cass Beer CF

I am hoping they would be given a big break and entertainment bigwigs at Korea would elevate their pairing to the big screen or a television series.

The Kids' Happy Weekend

Last weekend was a long one for us. We took a leave of absence from work last Friday, while the kids had no class since their teachers were having a seminar. Monday has been proclaimed a holiday, so that extends our long weekend all the more.

We were supposed to go to Camiguin but unfortunately a series of circumstances hindered us from going, and so we settled to a nearby resort called Mantangale. It should have been my first time to go to Camiguin, but my excitement fell to a great proportion when I witnessed the port's incomprehensible system.

Anyway, my kids had a very nice and fun time at the resort. It may not be that 'nature-beauty' as what Camiguin offers, but I already felt the sense of contentment seeing my kids enjoying every moment. They really loved the pool and never minded if they stay there for hours and hours. It was also a great bonding time for us. Since we did not brought along any yaya (nanny), me and hubby were really hands-on on taking care of the kids during the whole trip.

Here are some pics manifesting how much they enjoyed the short vacation . . .


And of course, hubby and me . . .

It was the break everybody deserves ~ hubby and I from work, and the kids from school.

Putting Up A Website

I doubt if the internet has already gotten its peak but right now, I could say that its popularity has immensely grown a million-fold. Not only well-known companies have already put up their own websites for the consumers to visit, but also those 'nobody' entities too. The internet has become a top option for marketing and somehow it has not failed them. Individuals has also joined into the wagon and voiced out their thoughts, emotions and opinions through blogs or online journals.

After being on hiatus for two months, I also realized that this blog needs to have its own domain and web hosting. In just a matter of two months, this blog will be two years old already and web hosting is the best gift I could possibly give.

Of course, there are considerations to ponder on, most especially the cost. I am still on the lookout for the best providers that offer the lowest costs. I am not an expert as far as the world wide web is concerned and so I refer quite often to this website called webhostingrating.com for information. It is a great resource for people who are still not fully oriented with the complexities of the internet. It is a wise guide for noobs like me, haha!

Well, I have two months to weigh these top web host providers and hopefully I could be able to pick one on time.

Hiatus and Farms

If you would notice my two previous posts, there is a span of two months between them. It has been quite a long while that I have made updates on this blog. Anyway, guilt has finally struck on me and so here I am, refreshed and hopeful that everything would be back in pace. Wow, I missed blogging so much and no words could ever explain right now how ecstatic I am just writing this post.

Well, the reason I have gone "lazy" on blogging was that I have been inflicted with the facebook addiction . . . and its many applications. Are you familiar with Farm Town, or Farm Ville perhaps? They are an application on facebook, which enable players to create their own farms, plant and harvest crops and earn coins along the way. There are different levels one must achieve, and when you get to the higher levels, they unlock various crops for you to purchase and plant. Sounds exciting? Well, they surely are!

I have known a lot of people who are hooked into these games right now and I am amazed how popular they have become. There are some who signed up with facebook for farm town and farmville purposes only. Even celebrities and other famous people with facebook accounts have gotten themselves into the web.

Here's a scap of my farms from farm town and farmville, respectively.



So, do you have your farm yet? We can be neighbors . . .

Life and The Internet

My daily life is missing something if I am not able to connect on the internet. Everyday, it has been a routine for me to open my Facebook account, check my yahoo mail and gmail accounts and do some other internet researches. When I am away from my PC, I often connect with the internet through my cellphone via wireless.

I had my phone two month ago and when I got it I was so ecstatic. It was also a 3G phone, and I enjoyed it a lot even when I am just lying in bed or having a cozy time in the couch because I get to check on facebook and other interesting sites. Technological innovations really never cease to go a long way and little did I know, 4G is already in existence and is putting 3G in the backseat.

If only Clear Wimax is available outside of the US, I could avail of this speedy 4G solution. It would indeed be amazing to surf on the net fast and affordable than those wifi hotspots serve. For a person like me who depends so much on the internet on a daily basis, this new technoligical innovation is one great catch!
