Chibilicious - Having my own small, cute world is great

Today is a special non-working holiday. Much as I want to go to several places to go to and relax in new a different surrounding other than in the house, I’m not inclined too because of this annoying case of coughs and cold.

It kills to cough and its hard to breath.

I’m very thankful though I don’t have a fever. With a lot of H20 and rest, I could probably be in shape for tomorrow’s work bringing in a few sniffles and coughs.

So, to my officemates, brace yourselves. An additional source of viral infection (there are already a few officemates coughing since last week) will come in through our air-conditioned rooms. It’s either that or I don’t get in and most of my work will be piled unto you. Lots of love. LOL.

To spend my afternoon here (as I took the morning sleeping my aches and all), I’m now taking on online simultaneous tasks to minimize the load even if my chest is still hurting a bit from all that coughing. I’m now uploading manga scans I did for Aerandria on our server, checking on my social network accounts, researching on my friend’s dilemma over jpop cheering songs for upcoming school competitions, reading on my various feeds on Google reader, letting Village Sims 2 play on the background (I want to complete that game), and now I have to look over a possible sideline for extra income.

Yes, the Internet definitely has taken over my life. Yet, I don’t have much income to sustain my online shopping sprees (rarely though), my infatuation to get hard to find ebooks, my wants to purchase a software for productivity or knowledge, etc. Even with internet providing me access to get opportunities to earn more online, I can’t seem to find one that would really sustain my passion and wants.

It’ hard to think on what I really want to do online besides blogging and maintaining sites. I want to do something of my own. A website revolutionary or at least of great impact it could equal the likes of probogger.com or maybe even friendster (ok, so that’s extreme, but I can dream can I?)

I have tried making different blogs to test my passion on the subject. But I end up later being in hiatus over them. I can’t maintain them as I should. I can’t find the passion to go on with the subject. I’ve tried a blog relating on alternative medicine, online money opportunities, and a blog relating to lists. But I end up in the dumps to find the urge to continue blogging in them even when I have access.

It is my goal now to really study on what niche I would like to blog about rather than test waters here and there. I believe now I know what I’m NOT supposed to blog about so that is a plus in my upcoming task.

WARNING!!!! The following post is not for the weak of heart. If you cannot take any kind gruesome images, please don’t pursue reading this. Don’t say I did not give you a fair warning. This is disgusting and we don’t know if this is true, but we know this happens.

Pakika lat na lang. Napakahalaga po ng email na eto. (Please spread this news.)

I don’t believe this story until last week end, when I went home from Pampanga, my mom told me this news. One of our neighbor witnessed the funeral. There is a grade 6 student near our barangay, who was missing for 2 days. There are posters of his picture everywhere… after how many days, the body was found with missing eyes and kidney… a Php20,000 was inserted on his body with a note ‘PAKI LIBING NA LANG…’ (Please bury.)

Hindi lang white van na yan ang gamit nila ngaun me green black at maroon. Me look-out nakamotor pag me nakita bata tinatawag dun sa kasama na nasa Van, take note me kasama na clang doktor na nag-aalis ng organ. Even sa mga subdivision nakapasok na rin sila kya inform nyo sa Guard nyo. Sa amin sa Dasma kahapon grabe dami Pulis at Barangay sa Gate Red Alert kasi me 3 bata nakuha around Dasmarinas, Cavite . Me 1 nakaburol sa AREA-H2 walang mata at Internal Organ with 70,000 na pera. Even yung Elem. School sa tapat ng subd. namin di na muna pinapasok yung mga bata ahapon grabe nakakatakot po. Sa Manggahan trece cavite mag-ina magkasama pilit na kinuha ung bata, lumaban ung nanay ayun binugbog tapos nadala ung bata last week un, nakita ung bata sa Paliparan patay na din wala ng organ at mata. Meron nga skecth nung isang kasama nakapost na din dun sa Gate ng subd namin. This morning in Kawit Cavite 2 bata, nawawla at sa Quezon 3 year old na batang
babae nakita patay walang heart at kidney.

(Not only that, they also use a black and maroon van. A look-out riding a motor calls to the van when spotting a kid with a doctor among them to cut off the organs. They could also get in subdivisions so it’s best to alert your security. Yesterday in our village in Dasmarinas, a lot of our Police and Barangay securities were on Red Alert becauase three children were taken by them. One is already in a wake AREA-H2. The child is missing eyes in internal organs with 70,000 pesos worth of dough. The elementary school near our place was put into temporary suspension because of fear for our children going out. In Manggahan Trece, Cavite, a child was forcibly taken away from a struggling mother, who was then battered and the child taken away. Last week, the child was found dead near the airport. The child was missing an organ and an eye. A sketch of one of the syndicates is already posted at the gate of our subdivision. This morning in Kawit Cavite, two children are missing and at Quezon, a three year old girl is found dead without a kidney and a heart.)

Kidnapping in Southern Luzon ,
Victim's Internal Organs Missing
by Jean Stuart March 09, 2008


Kidnapping is rampant nowadays. Kidnappers usually asked ransom money from the parents of their victims. But lat ely, I was disturbed of the news about the kidnap victims whose internal organs were missing after they were found.


In Ibaan, Batangas four children were abducted. One of them was found with the pair of eyes missing and with Php 30,000 pesos on his/her mouth. Three were found with missing internal organs. There was also report in Tanauan, Batangas with a missing heart and Php 8,000 pesos on the hole of
the victim's chest. It's really creepy.


Lately, there have been reports that the kidnappings is not only happening in Batangas. There were also similar incidents in Cavite and Laguna. Last Wednesday, March 5, my friend told me that there was a third year high school student (from a school in San Pedro, Laguna) was abducted on her way home. I still haven't heard about what happened to the victim.


I heard that a syndicate is behind this kidnapping and they are selling the organs to the black market. Text messages and email messages has been circulating saying that a white van with p lat e no. VMM 507 is said to be the kidnappers van. In our place the cartographic sketch of the kidnapper and the plate no. of the vehicle used by the kidnapper were posted everywhere.


Residents in our area in Laguna were already afraid. Students going to school were now accompanied by their parents and yayas. It has been reported that the kidnappers where luring children going to and from school. Our school management even released a letter to parents to watch for their children when going to school and while playing.

I found this on a bulletin post from Friendster. As someone, who has come back into the social networking world, I thought to give this survey a try out since I think it will be fun. ^^

[01] Are you currently in a relationship?
- YES

[02] Have you ever been given a rose?

[06] What’s your current problem?
- Relationship wise, none. Money-wise… A LOT!

[07] Have you ever had your heart broken?

- Blue. It soothes the soul.

[13] Who are your celebrity crushes?

Repost this survey to your blog if you wish too. Pass on the LUUUUV XD

NOTE: This may not constitute anything about earning money online but I feel it is very important to realize parts of money mismanagement every hard working individual unconsciously makes mistakes from. With this in mind, I hope that this realization will enforce a better management system for everyone so their hard worked income from online activities will not go to waste. Just a friendly reminder from your geek. ^^

As I mentioned in a previous post, ”The hardest thing for every financial-freedom looking individual is to keep money.”

Two things I consider very obvious in human behavior to result in money mismanagement.

Envy and Vanity. You find someone of the same status as you and yet you see that person having more of life than you. That person seems to have more time for leisure, goes on trips, gets branded clothes, etc. while you settle for alternatives. You decide to buy something of the same quality, brand or even cost just to show everybody you can have what the other person has. That calls for trouble because you cannot make everybody believe that you are well-to-do as that other person. When you waste your time and money putting up ‘airs’, you may end up working harder that you expected and possibly pay up more debts for loans you got to pay off those ‘airs’.

For people not born rich and are working very hard to make a living, such behavior will not get us anything in the world. We live in a world where we place the ‘elite’ class in a pedestal and run up a false standard of perfection when the majority in principle, forgets that it’s the majority who ought to rule. Many of us forget (including me) that it is wiser to think unto ourselves to regulate our income properly for our needs and save for a rainy day. Rather, we end up buying things according to what society deems necessary when we can live without too much of the costly type.

I, for one, admit I tend to gratify my whim on specific things when the mood strikes. I’ve learned that already but I find it hard to cut down my caprice and vanity. It is a good thing I have friends and special partner, who reminds me of the important things in life and directs me to where my money should land on.

Currently, I’m scouting around for a personal laptop to use for my internet studies, web management and possible future sidelines. I can’t rely too much on the desktop, especially on the income generating side since I’m not the only one using it at home and my dad keeps harping me for the electrical expenses. I asked my boyfriend, who asked one of his close friends working directly with laptop distributors, to look for a quality yet affordable laptop. I didn’t know much about hardware specifications and this will be my first time to have a laptop so I want it to be perfect. Since both of them know my tastes, I let them do the scouting because I’m sure, if I was left alone to roam the mall and check the laptops displayed, I might end up purchasing a laptop which, according to them, may be too expensive according to the laptop’s specifications. I was going for the NEO laptops because they are cheap with high specifications but my critics (boyfriend and friend) said NEO is not advisable to have because it easily heats up. I was thinking about getting an HP since the name already has a high quality standard, but they told me it was only a name and there are other quality laptops than HP.

It’s the same thing with other things in life. You cannot just buy branded stuff just because you’ve heard of their high quality and fashion sense. There are a lot of unheard of brands out there that give the same quality at a lower cost.

At most time, taking care of our things will result to saving up more. Old clothes could last and be used for the next season. An alternative wine could taste better than champagne. A cold bath and a brisk walk a few blocks to your office is more exhilarating and energizing than spending on gym fees you may not continually attend to (I have friends like these.) An evening with family, friends or your special someone is more pleasant than constant partying at a night club costing you more.

Do you think I’m right? Aren’t we all victims of Envy and Vanity? Don’t you think its time to put into good use our hard earned money like investments and such? I’m not saying to be overly frugal that you don’t get something nice for yourself. Just keep in mind, moderation is the keyword.
