My To Be Read List

Happy New Year Everyone! :)

And I was able to finally update my TBR List. I hope that I haven't forgotten anything... So, start off, I have 352 Books in my list (WHOAH! as in WHOAH)... I think I need to stop buying for now and start reading :))).

Like last year, I'm attempting to cut my TBR in half by end of year. Good Luck to me! Current list can be found HERE

2011 Challenge - Pass or Fail?

At the beginning of 2011, I listed out things that I want to accomplish during the year. Now, it's time to see if I was able to accomplish the said list :))

My 2011 List goes like:

- Sponsor a child through World Vision. CHECK! - PASS! see here
- Cut my TBR pile by at least half. (Kung ilan man siya by end of year. haha). - EPIC FAIL >_<. I didn't even get to update my list. I actually bought more than read more. Hahaha.. I don't think I even read 1/4 of the titles from the list. Maybe in 2012? :)))
- Have my books covered. - FAIL. :(.. I have the plastic cover though! :)))
- Arrange all my PC files - pics, docs, vids, music, everything! - FAIL. Errrmmm.... Since I started to get active in the fandom this year, I've got loads of new downloads.. ergo.. I wasn't able to fix them yet.. LOL >_<
- Setup inventory of my books. - FAIL. Still not started >_<
- Create my personal bookplate and have it in all my books. - FAIL. I got a couple of designs in mind but I haven't got around to printing them out and sticking them in my books.
- Start my money/coin collection. - PASS. Yay! :))). I got a couple already but still need to setup inventory for them.
- Learn a sport. Not exactly me playing but just learn the basics so I can watch and enjoy. =p. - What sport? FAIL >_<
- Complete my Harry Potter books. (2 years ko na sinusubukan to). - PASS! Finally, I've completed all! Wuhooo!
- Read at least 10 Classics. - FAIL. LOL. Have not read even 1
- Try out other book genres. Tama na ang puro smut! - PASS? I think. Thing is, at least I've read books that are not smut :)))))
- Watch more movies. I don't even know how I'll quantify "more" kase hindi ko naman nabilang yung last year. - PASS. I think so as well. i definitely have watched more movies this year than last year.
- Clean up my mails - personal and work. Burahin and kelangan burahin. I-archive ang kelangan i-archive. - Half-Pass/Half-Fail.. LOL. It's because I have a new job. so Work mail has been cleaned up. My personal mail though still need cleaning!

LOL.. OK, I think I got more FAIL than PASS! >_<. So much for my list. Still, it's been fun to really create my list and try to cross out stuff from the list. I think I'll do another one next year. and carry over my FAIL stuff from this year to the next. Malay ko kung ma-PASS ko na siya next year :))).

Bring it on 2012!

Goodbye 2011

Wow! It's been awhile since I've blogged. October pa pala >_<. Oh well...

Today's the last day of 2011. How time flies... 2011 had been a rollercoaster ride... There are lots of times that it's been so hard, esp the last few months. Despite all of that, I'm still very thankful to our Almighty for all the blessings that He has given me and my whole family. I'm very thankful for all the strength that He has showered us and grateful for letting us know that He is indeed by our side ALWAYS.

 

This year taught  me to be thankful for each and every day that I get to spend with my friends and with my family. Very specially with my family.

This year brought me back to Him. Lean to Him more. Listen more.. Follow more.

Salamat po Ama sa lahat lahat.

iSad

Thank you Steve Jobs... Your legacy will live on forever... Rest in peace...

Super Junior Collection Update

Malapit nako mamulubi! pramiz... hahaha... everytime I visit Fangirlasia's Office, I always seem to carry home some stuff... LOLz.. I'm in the mood to really complete my new addiction - SuJu! :).

And so, I've managed to add 4 more in my collection - SuJu-M's 1st album - Me, Victory Korea, Don't Don Cassette Tape (got this from ebay!) and The Grace 1st album (one of the boys was featured in 1 of the songs).

I'm really hoping that I'll be able to complete all of them soon! :) Good luck to me :)

Kuya Rommel & Ate Weng

Congratulations and Best Wishes

Mr. Simple - Donghae!

Finally! After waiting for about a month (I think?), I got my Mr. Simple with Donghae on the cover! *flails* Talaga namang matinding EQ ang kinailangan ko para antayin ang album na to :)

If Siwon showed his abs in the "inner" album picture, Donghae featured his hands. :) Sakto! Buti na lang "hands" person ako.. nyahahhaa... talaga naman, magconnect lang :)

So, I finally got the two Mr. Simple Version A Covers that I want. I'm still debating if I should get Kyu's and Heechul's versions... LOL... I'm afraid that I'll give in and complete all 10 covers! *pak*. Tatalunin ata ng Mr. Simple ang number of copies ko ng Jerry for You. FYI, I have 6 copies of JFY... hahhaa... I already have 3 copies of Mr. Simple (2 Version A and 1 Version B). And the repackaged version will most likely to come out soon.... good luck!

Ohana and Books

With us already scattered across the globe now, it's rare that we get to meet up and it's even harder for us to peak up at 10 when we do meet up (usually it's just half)... So, when Pols told us that she'll be in Manila, shempre opportunity for us to meet and catch up! It was fun since 10 of us made it this time! yeyyyy! Same old same old, kwentuhan galore... update on what has happened and what's currently happening in our lives :). Super precious ang mga ganitong moments talaga! :)

Me with the Bakasyunistang si Pols... ang mga maka-Jerry! LOLz :)

Napagusapan ang susunod na travel and this time, we'd like to go to Korea together next year! I'm really hoping that this will push through... riot eto! Ohana in Korea 2012! :).

On a side note, since I don't go often in Eastwood, opportunity narin to visit FullyBooked there. hahaha.. naka-3 din ako ah! :)

Buys! Buys! Buys!

Ang gastos gastos gastos ko this month. LOL... Other than books, I am back again sa pagiging fangirl which means more gastos! :) I'm happy naman so, ok fine! :)

I added a few more books on my pile (surprise surprise... =D). Eh kase nga, sale ang NBS and Powerbooks! :). I was able to scratch some titles on my list of to buys (at discounted price pa!) and I got books of an author that I haven't read yet (Michael Palmer).. He writes medical thrillers which got me interested enough to buy 2 of his books (A Heartbeat Away is his latest and The First Patient which I got for 50% off :). Ohhhh... And I got Robert Liparulo's 1st Two Books in the Dream House Kings series (a 2 in 1 book) but I wasn't able to include it in this pic! :(

And on to my fangirl loot! I finally finally got my Mr. Simple Version A! Though I only got Siwon's cover. *sighs* Hopefully, there would be a Donghae cover on the next shipment. And I also got the Version B of Mr. Simple (yey!) with a Donghae photocard (double yey!). Happy ELF nako ngayon. hahaha..

Aside from the Mr. Simple albums, I also got SuJu's 3rd (Sorry, Sorry) and 4th (Bonamana) albums. And since complete ako ng 2NE1 releases, I also got their 2nd mini-album. :)

I had to show off the Siwon photocard that I got from Bonamana.. LOLz

For my CNBLUE fix, I got the 2 First Step Editions (Thank You First Step +1 and the First Step Limited Edition). And yes, I also got the 2nd part of the Heartstrings OST. Wuheee! 2 more of CNBLUE releases and complete ko na sila.

Ang gastos maging fangirllllllllll! :) :)

Another Sign of Fangirling....

Ang mahirap sa pagiging fangirl eh ang gastos... LOL >_<

I'm back to buying Idol stuff... which is another sign that I'm back to fangirling... hahaha.. anuba! >_< more gastos it is.. Initially, I was just back to watching dramas and only follow actors... which means that I won't need to buy much, probably just OST CDs... but NO! I have to again like an idol group... *sighs* LOL..

Currently, I'm into CNBlue and Super Junior (promise malapit ko na sila makilala lahat!). And now, everytime na pupunta ko sa FangirlAsia office, palagi nalang ako nalalagasan.. LOL

Here are the new CNBlue CDs that I got :)

3 more CDs to go and complete ko na ang discography nila... Though, mukhang Never ko na makukuha yung Now or Never Japanese release CD nila. This is their 1st release and Out of Print na siya :(. Sana may lumabas sa mga auctions one day!

I also got the Hearstrings OST :) Yong Hwaaaa!

And lastly, my first ever SuJu CD! yay! It's their 2nd album, Don't Don. FGA doesn't have the Mr. Simple covers that I want, so eto muna ang binili ko.

A lot more SuJu CDs to go! Fighting!
