Things to do this week! :)

1. Article for our Newsletter "The Advocate"
-Our newsletter in our toastmaster's club is scheduled for release on the 3rd friday of this month. As the president, I asked our VP-PR to release the newsletter on that date. Apparently, despite being the one who set the deadline, I think I am the only one who has not submitted an article yet! Will submit my article hopefully before Wednesday :)

2. Jog at least 4 times a week
- Been planning to do this since the 1st week of August but my laziness immediately strikes before I even change my clothes. Just gained 12pounds in 6 weeks so it's not really good. This week, I promise I will do this!haha!

3. Clean my room
- Whenever I go out, I change my clothes at least 4 times before settling down with what I'd really wear so basically, some of my clothes are on the chair or on the bed or are not neatly arranged in my closet. Also, my table is a bit messy so cleaning my room is definitely a must!

4. Groceries
- I miss baking. Don't have much ingredients to make even just revel bars so I have to buy them. Also, we need to buy some cold cuts for breakfast. :)

5. Attend our 70th Day
- I think all of us in LEAP(Leadership Excellence Achievement Program) team are still having separation anxiety that's why we have almost weekly meets, gigs, coffee meet ups, 50th day and now, the 70th day. I think after the 70th day, we'll plan for a 100th day.haha! This is the one I look forward to the most this week or even this month

7. Go back to reading again
- Before I went to college, I am this high school bookworm who reads the books of David Baldacci, Nicholas Sparks, John Grisham, JK Rowling and a lot of other authors. But now, I am reading a different book--facebook. I guess I have to bring back the bookworm in me :)

Second week of September 2012, bring it on??!haha! :)

My Top 10 iPhone Apps for 2012

I've been with my iPhone for more than a year now. I've downloaded a lot of apps and I deleted a lot already but there are a few that still remained. Here's my Top 10 iPhone apps this year. The apps that I have continuously used and kind of abused..teehee!

1. Facebook for iPhone

Need I say more? Almost everyone is using Facebook. May it be to connect with friends, post comments, update status, post pictures  and show "friends" that you just checked in a posh restaurant, an expensive hotel, a luxurious spa, etc.

2. Instagram

This is like a photoblog. Great way to take a photo, filter it and share. The filter option of this app is definitely great. It can make a simple shot look like a shot taken by a professional photographer.

3. KakaoTalk

I love this app because I get to communicate with my close friends here in the Philippines and abroad without having to worry about load/bills because it's free. Aside from calls and texts, you can also send each other voice recording, smileys, cute animations, etc.

4. Temple Run

This game may be a "has been" app but for me, I still find playing Temple Run really fun. Whenever I have to wait in line because of a long queue or I'm waiting for someone, I open this app and play.

5. Merriam-Webster Dictionary

Whenever I talk to someone and I don't know the meaning of the word he/she used, or whenever I read a book and I don't know what the word used means, this comes in handy. 

6. Allrecipes

I love to cook and this app is truly very helpful whenever I want to try new recipes. I tried some of the recipes posted and they tasted delish!

7. Gmail

Because I use Gmail for e-mails. nuff said ;)

8.P&P Collage

I love making collage and this is the best app to make one(in my opinion).

9. Skype

Some of my friends who doesn't have a facebook account use this so this is what I use to communicate with them. I also use this to communicate with friends abroad. Though I don't use this so often as an iPhone app, it is still very useful.

10. Facebook Messenger

This makes IM on Facebook easier when you're using your phone.

These are my Top 10 iPhone Apps. I don't often use apps as I only use a phone for it's primary purpose--to communicate through text and calls so the apps I listed are pretty much the already known ones. If you have any suggestions on which app should I try, please do say so. thank you much much! :)

TO-DO List before I turn 22

So that I can say that I was able to accomplish something when I was 21, I am going to make a list of what I should do before I turn 22. here it goes:
Travel Goals
1. Go to anywhere in Visayas
2. Go to anywhere in Mindanao
3. Go to any nearby Asian country
Personal and Professional Goals
1. Weight Loss(20-30 pounds..fingers crossed)
2. Have a job that I really love to do
3. Family getaway
4. Be an ACS,ALS in Toastmasters

Looks easy for a year-long goal for many but I think this is already a stretch for me..April 17 2012-April 12, 2013, BRING IT ON! :)

before take-off

13 days ago,

8 hour long travel

7 travelling bags and

6 boxes(with loads of books,manuals and bags inside)

5 years of memories

At long last, I'm back home. Baguio has been my home for five years now and since things are still unsure for me, I have thought of coming home for the summer and think about what I really want in life. I wanted to do a lot of things and that's making it more difficult for me. Life is never easy indeed so now, I believe I am experiencing life at its best. :)

This summer, all I want to do is just relax so, here's the list of my plans for this Summer

1. Clean my room. (must do since I arrived but until now, my room is still a big mess)

2. Join the Toastmasters District 75 Convention in Samal Island, Davao(yey!)

3. Visit my grandma in Los Banos, Laguna(I miss my grandma. Haven't seen her for 4 years now)

4. Attend a very wonderful Seminar(the third part of the trilogy. Finished the 1st and 2nd nearly 2 years ago)

5. Post a blog entry whenever possible.

6. Have a new hairstyle(been wanting to do this for months.)

A very short list for two months indeed. I am not a busy person nor do I intend to be one so this list is something I am comfortable with. haha

Summer 2012, I'm ready for you! :)
