Carisu Cafe:

One, two, LEAP!

 

 

 Mary Christmas!

Ah, I mentioned that because Mary Stayed Out All Night just ended. Yes! And that was that? No climax? Not even something exciting? it's a good thing that Jang Geun Seok and Moon Geun Young managed to keep the love thing so cute and bubbly. Inspite of having three great characters casted in the show, MSOAN just lacks vibrancy. The story is so... ?

But now I should quit blabbering about Mary because I do enjoy watching it. (Oh, I mean him → JGS)

Do you know what today is? It's my parents' anniversary! Their 26th, for that matter. Ah, and tomorrow's my birthday! Year-ends are always a great celebration for me! Here's to the best parents, for me that is, in the world!

I am up at my computer for this time of the day--the team room isn't up yet, so no work for me. As I have been saying before, I will be upping the notch next year, with God's help. Can you believe it? I'm locating literary agents. Not for me that is--although I've got books at hand. Haven't written them yet, but I think it's high time I take my writing career into a new level.

Tomorrow is my 25th! Wonder what good things are about to happen next year? Getting ready for all the blessings~ little or big, they do count!

I NEED A PLANNER! It's been four years since I've been writing my everyday life... I musn't stop now :)

 

Oh, I hear these loud firecrackers again. Those kids NEVER learned a lesson.

A Wordy Life

2010 will be HIGH HIGH!

 
2010 is coming to an end; and I am glad some of it were spent here in TypePad. I'd forever miss my VOX--the simple, similar features and changing banners will always be a part of the blogging experience.

I'd never knew I will end up doing what I love the most, and getting the best out of it.  If this is what I'm going to really really pursue in the near future, then why not give my best? I was thinking of transferring to my own domain next year but still hosted here, in Typepad. What do you think?

I've been a long time blogger and it's probably high time to up the notch; blogging about the things I like. I am proud of the local artisans here; seeing their works, and inspiring me to improve upon mine. I guess I shall continue with my writing,because this is my forever love. Hey guiys, please support if ever I do so? This has been a wonderful year. see you in 2011, with many beautiful changes here and in my life!

You are wonderful. Please continue to read my Wordy Life!

ゆっくり行こうよ…

 

Caris slumped to her desktop late in the afternoon. She can her hear stomach growling, “Lunch!” The chocolates beside her desk were not enough to keep her full. It was a hot, December afternoon. While other countries smell of snow and winter, here she is; sitting in a room where she feels she is being toasted in an oven.

 

A funny tune played in her computer, which she satisfied herself inspite of hunger. The music then naughtily played its toll upon her, and she was disgruntled at the fact that it was late in the afternoon and she has done nothing worthwhile.

 

“Oh, why am I so sidetracked?” She groans to herself, unable to whimper loud as her mother was just beside the room, reading her favorite puzzle. Nothing can be worse; when a car stopped beside their house, and she hears her mom screaming, “We’ve got guests!”

 

“At this time of day?”

 

It was a hot Thursday afternoon; her mood was down enough not to keep up with her editorial work—and she barely moved from her chair because she looked like a pain. A pain in the eyes for that matter—haven’t taken a bath yet, not even combed her hair, there’s a smidge of chocolate right at her cheeks and worse, she did not take it off.

 

“Please open the door, I’ll just get dressed—,” her mother cuts in her daydream. “Lucky you,” Caris mutters on the other hand. “You still got time to get dressed and all, while I look like an entire mess.”

 

With no other choice, she stood from her swiveling chair and struggled the painful steps toward the gate…

Hello typepad!

Ah, I've been blogging nonsense, and I abused the power of "reblog it." Yay. So not I find myself handling over that consequences to this (and my other) home blogs. What next? Make up for it of course!

Tumblr has been unpleasant lately. I find it very upsetting that I chose it to be the platform for my Ci, especially that it wasn't working so well. I am really sad that their servers went down several times at the beginning of this month; especially when many bloggers just tend to reblog the same thing or the other (I'm another of those culprits) 

I can't give up on my mini-mag, especially because I love promoting! (C'mon indie Etsy and DIY designers) Ah, I feel regretful placing it in the wrong hands. Wait, so I'm not dissing them here. I just sincerely wish they do something about it. Especially now that the whole Tumblr community is growing.

So wait, I'm speaking about Tumblr on TypePad? I'm nuts!

Well, this Christmas, everyone should be prepared for many nuts!

Please tell me what I should do next. And I will quit reblogging some senseless stuff that has no relevance in my life whatsoever.

OH YEAH! Give CI some LOVE ♥

You know that we have just launched this blog for like.. October. And what I like about it is that, we're having a lot of passers-by! I just smile whenever I look at Google Analytics. I mean, Tumblr is really a good platform for sharing stuffs and all; but the big drawback is that many times in a day, their servers just go down. I've been thinking to move CI to another host (TyePad?) But that will be decided when we finally decide on the name of the site. Once and for all!

Woo-hoo! I'm happy. Have you seen the site? It's so simple, but it' so, so nice! I super love the whole layout.

 
 
And we've added a bunch of new features too! Please go and visit. We'll be more than happy to hear from you!

 
First of all, I want to say thanks to my girls, Lei and Lej, who's helping me out in this. My cousins, you better get ready. When is that photoshoot coming? I'm also planning to invite Redner to let me feature him!

I've put on BLOGLOVIN' badge on the site, for anyone who is using that platform. I am also adding some links too! Anyone who wants to link with us, please do not hesitate to tell us :) We want to promote you!

 If you haven't seen it yet; please drop by the site!

Hey, it's been a long time coming.

Today is practice day. It's been a long time since I've felt this wonderful with the kids. Of course, I shouted then and there, and stretch the extent limits of my usual tiny speaking voice but what the heck. We had fun. And they're downright tired right now. We're happy together, I hope? Because, even if there are still some people missing, we are still a family.

And that's what I want my ministry to be. A family. Not work; nothing tedious of the sort. But something I'll always anticipate to. Hanns, Jas, Icket--the boys have grown up. Jeck is someone I could always rely on. It's great to have Angel again. Liezl, Mae, even if they are turning into ladies (I can see it with the height) they're always gonna be here for us; and us for them.

It toook a long time and I feared it'll never ever ever happen again; but today, even with cramps on the side, we're alive. YEHEY! Not much, it's quite, missing some great ingredient. But it's breathing. And KICKING! Oh yeah. I'd better bring some camera next time.

Tomorrow is our church's sportsfest. No more T-Shirts by Kuya Melvin. But we're getting glamorous with a new venue! And it's Manny Pacquiao's fight; of all days. I'm not complaining though. November is a busy BUSY month for us.

The kids are happy having an invisible Kuya Josh helping through. They're even into the the whole suggestion thing that I'm like so amazed. God You are good. Whatever we lack of, You just provide :)

My little baby is sleeping, and NO, I will NOT be jealous of Boss. TaeYang, you better be jealous of Charlie! (I wish a hundred times) I named our new dog in memory of my Nintendog who was stolen. YES. I know so!

On another note...

Have you seen your rate yet? Yay for four years! Nevermind the two first blogs--they're not worth the visit (kidding, please go visit them!) But My Cafe has been around for a long time. And nothing beats the experience :)

 

Forever

When it comes to reminiscing, nothing beats this song. Whenever I hear it played, I just get the shivers. Something great happened! It's like a seed planted and goes on forevermore. My church, my family, my life, and everything else! I can not NOT like what I see. It's too wonderful. Kinda sad; but it's so overwhelmingly wonderful.

Avalon: Testify to Love

15_Testify_To_Love

All the colors of the rainbow
All the voices of the wind
Every dream that reaches out
That reaches out to find where love begins

Every word of every story
Every star in every sky
Every corner of creation
Lives to testify

For as long as I shall live
I will testify to love
I'll be a witness in the silences
When words are not enough
With every breath I take
I will give thanks to God above
For as long as I shall live
I will testify to love

From the mountains to the valleys
From the rivers to the sea
Every hand that reaches out
Every hand that reaches out to offer peace

Every simple act of mercy
Every step to kingdom come
All the hope in every heart will
Speak what love has done

For as long as I shall live
I will testify to love
I'll be a witness in the silences
When words are not enough
With every breath I take
I will give thanks to God above
For as long as I shall live
I will testify to love

For as long as I shall live
I will testify to love
I'll be a witness in the silences
When words are not enough
With every breath I take
I will give thanks to God above
For as long as I shall live
I will testify

For as long as I shall live
I will testify to love
I'll be a witness in the silences
When words are not enough
With every breath I take
I will give thanks to God above
For as long as I shall live
I will testify to love

For as long as I shall live
I will testify to love
I'll be a witness in the silences
When words are not enough
With every breath I take
I will give thanks to God above
For as long as I shall live
I will testify to love

I'm so proud of my TypePad Blog!

Hey, what do you know?

 
And so my simple little project, is, well going little by little. I love it! I'm no track everyday and I just smile whenever something adds up to the number before. CI is a small blogzine, but I intend to make it as warm and as informative as possible. I haven't told Ghel what my plan for her yet; and so does Dana and the others (Dayum, I am thankful for your excitement girl! Please continue to visit!)

So, for Ghel. I keep snickering at the thought. Why? Because she's been on the lookout for certain charming boys, and we'll use that to both of our advantage. (Hehe, she could "interview" these guys and I'll have the cosplayer profile up the site. As for her, closeness is a benefit!)

I'll be posting the credits in the site, for many TypePad bloggers just inspire me. I will keep writing forever if only my fingers aren't complaining. Well, well, it's nothing to be produ of yet. Carisu Cafe did take four years to earn a PR status. So hopefully, CI will become seasoned and be another lively community for many people!

Oh, congratulations to my cousin and his wife for having a baby girl! She's born yesterday, and that's full of wishes! Who wouldn't be happy?

My TypePad Tuesday

Intro Prase: OH YEAH!

So, my morning wasn't actually complete. I've got NO projects for today and that makes my day so dull. But having no assignments doesn't mean I'm not to do something good right? So I picked up some paper and a pen and started writing on what I can help in our 109 Thanksgiving Night (I am calling it thanksgiving, not a concert, simply because I don't want it to beon a performance basis) I do hope the right words will collide. Just tonight, I am searching for the images for the slideshow. I am amazed at the many inspirational images at (edit).

Charlie is asleep on the porch, like a good little puppy he is. He follows us whenever we call him and is such a dear. The only thing is, will he stil be like that when he grows up? I do hope so. I guess some dogs have different personalities too--just like what my Nintendogs taught me. By the way, I named the dog in memory of my Golden Retriever Charlie--who disappeared after the memory card got lost *stolen.*

Oh Won Bin! You're back! I can't believe how grown up you are! Hong gi is still immature, but oh my goodness, you're (what word?) Ah, the hottest FTi is coming back to the scene, and this time, he's ready to take things on his own... I hope.

I am looking forward to seeing CI mature. My TypePad had gotten its PR because it's been alive for four years or so. And I guess my CI will also get the same or higher rank in the future, if it flourishes. Do support it please! It's at http://closetinsider.tumblr.com :)

See you tomorrow ♥
