Hinata Hyuga's Confession

I'm here of my own free will
I used to always cry and give up
I nearly went the wrong way
But you... you showed me the right way

I was always chasing you
Wanting to overtake you
I just wanted to walk with you
I wanted to be with you

You changed me!
Your smile saved me!
So I'm not afraid to die protecting you!!
Because I -- LOVE YOU...

(NARUTO 437)

Somewhere Over The Rainbow

Ooooo oooooo ohoohohoo
Ooooo ohooohoo oooohoo
Ooooo ohoohooo oohoooo
Oohooo oohoooho ooooho
Ooooo oooooo oooooo
Ooooo oooooo oooooo

Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high
And the dreams that you dreamed of
Once in a lullaby ii ii iii
Somewhere over the rainbow
Blue birds fly
And the dreams that you dreamed of
Dreams really do come true ooh ooooh

Someday I'll wish upon a star
Wake up where the clouds are far behind me ee ee eeh
Where trouble melts like lemon drops
High above the chimney top thats where you'll find me oh
Somewhere over the rainbow
Blue birds fly
And the dream that you dare to,why, oh why can't I? i iiii

Well I see trees of green and red roses too
I watch them bloom for me and you
And I think to my self
what a wonderful world

Well I see skies of blue, and I see clouds of white
and the brightness of day, I like the dark
And I think to my self
what a wonderful world

The colors of the rainbow so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces of people passing by
I see friends shaking hands
Singing, "How do you do?"
They're really saying, I...I love you
I hear babies cry and I watch them grow,
They'll learn much more
Than we'll know
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world (w)oohoorld

Someday I'll wish upon a star,
Wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where trouble melts like lemon drops
High above the chimney top that's where you'll find me
Oh, Somewhere over the rainbow way up high
And the dream that you dare to, why, oh why can't I? I hiii ?

Ooooo oooooo oooooo
Ooooo oooooo oooooo

Better Than Bank's Time Deposit (Final Report)

It was exactly five months ago when I tried my luck sa investment world. The scheme was simple - to earn a 5% monthly interest for a period of six months. At heto ang naging resulta:

July 21, 2009 - encashment okay
August 21, 2009 - encashment okay
September 21, 2009 - encashment okay
October 21, 2009 - encashment okay
November 21, 2009 - encashment okay
December 21, 2009 - pre-cancelled

Yes, I decided to cancel the sixth and final month na dapat magmamature yung kontrata. The reason behind this is that I have a new offer from the same host and this time he's giving me a staggering 7% per month with a lock-in period of 1 year. Katakot ba? Ingat na lang daw sakin sabi nung friend ko. Salamat sa advice pero ganun talaga ang buhay, mi risk. Kung di mo susubukan, walang mangyayari. Better to try something new than never to experience it at all. And dapat buo ang loob mo sa any consequence na posibleng maganap along the way. Walang sisihan kumbaga kundi sarili mo.

84% per annum!!! Kaya ba ng bangko yan? :D

The Twilight Saga : New Moon

Jam-packed ang SM North City kahapon ng Sabado sa 2nd-day opening The Twilight Saga : New Moon. P160 ang movie ticket, tapos for single screening only. Mas nagustuhan ko yung sequel ngayon kesa dun sa first movie na inantok pa nga ako hehehe (Siguro di ko pa kasi kilala ang mga characters). Di ko pa din nababasa any of the Twilight books, pero kwento sa akin ng kapatid ko magkakaanak daw sila at mas malakas daw ito at mi power to read people's mind.
Back to the New Moon, yung ending part ang pinaka-cheesy. Heto ang sinabi ni Edward kay Bella: "Fine if you want me to be the one then you'll have to meet just one condition". She (Bella) says, "what condition?". He replies "This is forever...marry me, Bella" tapos biglang dilim yung telon. The End na ^_^

The Best Pound-for-Pound King

Pacquiao made history by becoming the first fighter to win seven world titles in as many weight classes with a stunning 12th round technical knockout of Miguel Cotto.

Pacquiao looked unstoppable for the third consecutive fight, knocking Cotto down twice in the early rounds Saturday before putting the finishing touches on in the 12th round to claim Cotto's World Boxing Organization welterweight title.

Mabuhay ka, MANNY!!!

The Secret Movie

Last October 30, Friday, nanood kami ng isang pelikula sa meeting room sa opisina. Although late na kami naka-attend dahil mi kainan pa sa pantry dahil sa birthday treat ng dalawa naming teammates, nakahabol pa rin kami kahit lagpas kalagitnaan na yung palabas. Kakaiba siya kasi hindi siya yung typical na napapanood sa mga sinehan pero punong-puno ng wisdom at practical na pagharap sa buhay. Sana mi mahanap akong DVD copy neto sa mall someday...

Synopsis: The Secret reveals the most powerful law in the universe. The knowledge of this law has run like a golden thread through the lives and the teachings of all the prophets, seers, sages and saviors in the world's history, and through the lives of all truly great men and women. All that they have ever accomplished or attained has been done in full accordance with this most powerful law.

Without exception, every human being has the ability to transform any weakness or suffering into strength, power, perfect peace, health, and abundance.

Rhonda Byrne's discovery of The Secret began with a glimpse of the truth through a 100 year old book. She went back through centuries, tracing and uncovering a common truth that lay at the core of the most powerful philosophies, teachings and religions in the world.

What Rhonda discovered is now captured in The Secret, a film that has been viewed by millions around the world. The Secret has also been released as an audio-book and printed book with more than 16 million copies in print in over 40 languages.

The Secret reveals the natural law that is governing all lives. By applying the knowledge of this law, you can change every aspect of your life.

This is the secret to prosperity, health, relationships and happiness. This is the secret to life.
