Strawberry Days

Doing a Life List...

2008-03-26T20:33:00.000-07:00

Since I love doing list and I think that this blog really need some sense of direction, I've decided to make a "Life List" and post it here. (I came across with someone's blog and it gave me an idea) This will give my blog a purpose and will help me to track my progress. I can't remember how many times I've written a Life List so I'll just consolidate everything and put all of them here. I'll work on it tonight, then hopefully I'll be able to post it tomorrow.

I don't know if i should remove my old entries to give this blog a fresh start, ok maybe I'll keep it till I know what to do with them.

Ok..now I'm excited..can't wait to work on my Life List!

My NAME!!

What made me flip out of my chair?..

Well because of boredom, i type my name in google just to check if it will show anything about me..even though i don't really disclose or use my real name over the internet..i still tried.
Then poof!!..same as my name..REALLY?..The fact that the combination of my name is rare..(even though each one is commonly used)..I mean I've never encountered anyone in my entire life having same first name as me.

Ok here's one that i found in wikipedia..

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rose_Rita_Pottinger

"Rose Rita Pottinger - a fictional character who appears in a series of children's gothic horror novels by John Bellairs and Brad Strickland."

..gothic..that's cool..

and check out her description..

"Rose Rita is a tomboy who is usually involved in sports. She and Lewis also share an interest in military history. As the series progresses, she matures and becomes somewhat more interested in traditionally female activities (such as school dances).

Her weaknesses include an inclination to tell tall-tales, an impatience that causes her to rush into things, and a fear of enclosed places."

...hahaha!!...we have a lot in common (^-^)

I also found other stuff..like this video..

..but maybe it's just the name of the dog..arff!..arff!

and this profile

http://www.flickr.com/people/lemming200/

but the name is inverse..

Now Im no longer a mystery..anyways..it was too bad not to share...

Brighten up my day..

I'm a little short tempered type so there're a few things that get the witch out of me..

1. SMOKING!! I hate the smoke..it just makes me..aaarrruuuggg!! Especially in the morning when you're fresh then you'll walk by people who are smoking so early in the morning...what the F%$$!! Ok I'm not mad at the people..I'm furious about inhaling their *&%^$ smoke.

2. People who choose to ignore you when you hand them the jeepney fare. It's right in front of you..why are you just staring at it..damn it!

3. Commuting torture..combination of carbon dioxide, long walks, deafening horns, heat, dust, traffic jam, crowded bus where I have to stand up all through out the journey, and if lucky..encounter MOM (Maniac Old Man)

Just feeling senti..

“Relationships are like glass. Sometimes it’s better to leave them broken than try to hurt yourself putting it back together.”

Love is sometimes denied, sometimes lost, sometimes unrecognized, but in the end, always found with no regrets, forever valued and kept treasured.

Real love is always painful and hurts; then it is real and pure.

I'm an Artist..weeee!!

Since i don't have so much work to do i decided to try playing with photoshop (I envy my friends for being so damn good at this)...anyways..using a tutorial i found in the net..i was able to come up with this..

Yes..i just followed a step by step instruction which some of them i skipped because i didn't understand. It's so hard to remember everything however i was able to learn a lot of shortcuts..hahaha!!

And here's my second attemp to do it on my own, unfortunately i only remembered a few of the steps so it's a bit far from how it should be.

Anyway..i'm still proud!! (^-^)

You can get the tutorial here.

Lovely..

I missed 'Lovely complex'..i wish i could watch it all over again..unfortunately it's already licensed..sigh. I've changed my wallpaper into this and i stared at it for a while.

*A mind troubled by doubt cannot focus on the course to victory*

*This blog is still under construction*

i love reading..

2008-01-30T17:37:00.000-08:00

I'm more of a reader's digest type than a novel type. I like variety in stories, facts, information, life changing and inspirational.

I can't let the day pass without checking out fun stuff to read and today i came across with these site and it's really fun reading them so for the sake of sharing here they are..

http://postsecret.blogspot.com/

-people share their frustrations, dreams anything through post cards..i find it cute and funny..really creative.

http://www.lifehack.org/articles/lifestyle/10-tips-for-get-a-good-nights-sleep-without-pills.html#more-5206

-one of my interests is reading everyday tips whether how to organize, housekeeping, health etc. As of now i'm haven't read a single article but i know this is a good...otherwise it wouldn't be included in the top 20 life changing website of reader's digest, right?

http://www.rd.com/stories/inspiration/illegal-immigrant-turned-brain-surgeon/article.html

-i was so moved by this one..truly inspiratiomal..sounds to great but it was damn so inspiring. There's really nothing impossible in life as long you have the will and determination to achieve it.

These are just some of them..happy reading!

Self Introduction

2008-01-17T01:59:00.000-08:00

I find my other blog so boring so i decided to create another one. HOpefully i'll be able to keep this one. It's not just my blog which is boring but my life in general, haven't done anything outrageous or nothing i can say as experience of a lifetime.
Anyways enough of this boringness ..

Well' I supposed there's no better way to start than to introduce my self..

My name is Jenny (my internet name..whatever that means) I'm 21 years old, living somewhere in southeast asia.

I'm dying to travel the world and I get so excited just thinking about it (haven't been to any other country though ~sigh~)

I practice yoga and aspire to be a certified yoga instructor someday

I have a degree in Computer Science and Information Technology and currently working as a Software Developer (up until now I haven't figured out where I really want to specialize..definitely not programming..sucks)

I like reading blogs specially people's experiences in Japan

I'm part of a self proclaimed Japan-o-philiac Trio, namely meganekodomo, thekaisu and yours truly jenny.if you wanna know about us check this out
http://one-eyed-daruma.sosblog.com/

I like to crack jokes but most of the time they ended up giving me the what-the-heck expression and i'm the only one laughing ..it's all in the punch line you know

I graduated as salutatorian in elementary and decided to stop being so grade conscious after that but still manage to get Honorable Mention award when i graduated in college

Yes, i have a significant other whom we'll just call 'J'

I can describe my life as telenovela in real life

The only gadget I have is an old crappy phone (not even a colored one)

Big time fashion victim..i always get headache every time i go shopping alone

I love making list. I make list for everything, To Do Today, To do for the Week, To do for the Year, Things to do before i die, To Buy, Financial List Budget/Expenses

I love to organize things but have a hard time maintaning it.

After I graduated, I worked in a call center. I'll never forget my training days, the best group of people I've ever met.

I used to have my hair short when I was younger and frequently mistaken as a boy

I always get unsolicited greetings from strangers

Digital camera, Laptop, w850i, ipod are on top of my To Buy list

I think this is enough for my first post..

Mata ne!
