shut up

why do you have to say bad things about other people, about how they look, the way they dress or the way they speak? remember you also have your flaws. you're not perfect and you should know that. it's better to just keep quiet if you don't have nice things to say.

it's not bad to admit that you don't know the things that others know.you don't have to pretend that you know everything. that would not make you a lesser person.

you're only human. we're all equal. you can't rule over me. you can't rule over other people.

LIFE JUST ISN'T

i came across this article when i was still in college while reading "Chicken Soup for a Teenage Soul". This is so inspiring.

Life isn't about keeping score. It's not about how many people call you and it's not about who you've dated, are dating or haven't dated at all. It isn't about who you've kissed, what sport you play, or which guy or girl likes you. It's not about your shoes or your hair or the color of your skin or where you live or got to school. In fact, it's not about grades, money, clothes, or colleges that accept you or not. Life isn't about if you have lots of friends, or if you are alone, and it's not about how accepted or unaccepted you are. Life just isn't about that.

But life is about who you love and who you hurt. It's about how you feel about yourself. It's about trust, happiness, and compassion. It's about sticking up for your friends and replacing inner hate with love. Life is about avoiding jealousy, overcoming ignorance and building confidence. It's about what you say and what you mean. It's about seeing people for who they are and not what they have. Most of all, it is about choosing to use your life to touch someone else's in a way that could never have been achieved otherwise. These choices are what life's about.

Alec TAGGED me!

The game goes like this: if you're tagged, you post seven little known facts about you and you tag seven other people. of course you should let them know they were tagged.

this alec thing tagged me! here are the 7 things you should know about me:

1.i sweat a lot. pasmado tlga ako, lalo na pag mainit or pagnininerbyos ako, parang bukal ng pawis kamay ko!

2.i'm a proud cathecist. when i was still in the province, nagtuturo ako every summer.

3.i collect different kinds of underwear. meron na akong t-back, elephant-trunk, boxer briefs, etc

4.i can't sleep without my ipod and cellphone beside me.

5.i love to swim. isa akong taong-dagat but i'm afraid of coral reefs. as much as possible when i swim, ayaw ko sumisid kasi feeling ko, nagtatago sa likod ng mga coral reefs ang mga sea snakes at sharks.

6.dahil takot akong mag accountancy, business administration major in management kinuha ko nung college, at ngayon, nagsisisi ako..as in lagi.

7.i cried when i saw Christina Aguilera on her Back to Basics concert. That's the first concert I've seen and that was a dream come true.

David Archuleta: David Archuleta

this post may be late but i really have to do this. some people may not like him and it's their choice. they may not listen to his record, but still they would hear his tracks on the radio.

i have blogged about his first ever single before and that started the "ARCHIE FEVER" in me. i'm not into watching American Idol but at least i try to familiarize myself with the top 12 or something contestants (di ko nga kasi alam kung ilang TOP yung kinukuha nila sa malupitang labanan!).

he's the youngest but he sings really well.his voice quality is very pleasant and he doesn't have to shout to impress his listeners or just to exhibit his vocal prowess (very un-ERIK SANTOS or un-GARY V.)

Archie's debut album was released on November 11, 2008 and i only got the chance to download all the tracks last month.

track listing:
1. crush
2. touch my hand
3. barriers
4. my hands
5 a little too not over you
6. you can
7. running
8. desperate
9. to be with you
10. don't let go
11. eyes don't lie
12. angels

as what all of us would expect, the album is very pop-ish with a touch of soul and RnB. POP suits his voice. you can nod your head to the beat. it's very good to listen to while doing house chores or while walking on the street.

"My Hands" has a very catchy chorus. when i first heard this song, i di not understand what he's singing. he was like chanting and you can only catch the word "hold on...". i was so intrigued that i immediately searched the lyrics.

another track that caught my attention was "Eyes Don't Lie" because there's this lazy whistle that's jsut so infectious .i must admit i was irritated by that whistle the first time i heard it.

the background vocal of a woman singing in "To Be With You" is still a mystery to me. i've been searching for answers online but i found no results.

my favorite track is the ballad "You Can". maybe because of the lyrics. i was drawn to this song and it makes me feel good everytime i hear it.

teens would surely enjoy this album since they could easily relate to it! i have a "TEEN" mind and so i love it.

Archie co-wrote some of the tracks in this album and that made me admire him more. i always look up to those artist who can compose their own songs.

Thankful

a new year has been given to me. another year has passed and i'm thankful that i've reached the age of 23.

i want to thank those people who did not forget my special day. those who texted me, greeted me personally, called me, posted comments on my page and those who gave me gifts. i dearly appreciate those acts.

the gift of life that God has given me is something that i treasure the most. I can't thank Him enough for all the blessings I've received.

when it's your birthday you feel like you're a celebrity. i thank you all for making me feel that way! 'Til next year.
