In the Mall

I'm in the mall right now because I don't have anything better to do, LOL! No it's actually a case of a bad breakfast gathering turned bad. Well let's just say that we decided to have burnch to early but it doesn't matter really. I love hanging out with these guys.

I'm in the library and I'm just aimlessly wandering through the netr like I always do even when I'm at home and I've decided to make a blog post after hoping to some of my my blogger friend's blogs.

I actually don't like going to the library or even go to the mall for that matter because I'm a bit of an antisocial (surprised?). I said a bit not full blown antisocial.

Anyhow, I guess that this post will be a bit on the side of nonesense but at least it's better than some posts on the net that are clearly sponsored because there is no feeling or thought put into the post. Well this post don't have any though put into it like most of my posts but at least it has feelings right?

Anyhow, maybe I'll just let the time pass by watching some anime.

Every Moment - Joy Williams



You just got to live the taste of David Archuleta! I actually found out about this song from David`s blog and I fell in love with it the first time I heard it. David and I sure have the same taste in music and I do hope that he recommends more music because I`m pretty sure that there are more wonderful music out there that is really wonderful waiting to be discovered by me.

I love this song because it has so many emotions in it and the song moves every fibre of my being.

Yes, we can never get back or undo the things that we have done, words we have said, things that we have failed to do, or moments that we allowed to pass by because as I`ve said before, "Time waits for no one".

I also especially love this AMV (Anime Music Video)! I just love Tsubasa Chronicles! You already know that I'm an Anime Freak but I only go for animes that I consider worthwhile to watch. I mean animes that have a good story line, amazing characters, and of course the theme or message that is being portrayed. And my golly, Tsubasa Chronicles gets an A+.

Continuing Education

It has always been my dream to continue my education and attain a doctorate degree or a master's degree. It just saddens me that this dream is already very hard to attain because of my current situation. I'm already 20 years old and moving to Canada had a detrimental effect on my education. In Canada the high school is up to Grade 12, meanwhile in the Philippines it's only up to Grade 10. This means that my 3 years in university in the Philippines will be seen under Canadian standards as finishing Grade 11 and 12 and just 1 year of university.

So I'm going to finish my degree in 4 years and I will be 24 then. I'm thinking that I won't have time to study and work at the same time but this belief is disproved because of a friend with a similar situation as me. He studies at the Arizona School of Health Sciences Programs.

My friend is a physician assistant already and he is so busy in his job that he also thought that he wouldn't be able to continue his education and expand his clinical knowledge and skills. He also dreams of having a Master of Science degree in Physician Assistant Studies. Let's face it, if you have a higher degree more opportunities and even a better pay will follow as you can already justify that you are well qualified. On the other hand, broadening your clinical knowledge will boost your confidence and you can tap do more clinical procedures with your new knowledge and skills.

I have plans of working at the United States in the future and I might consider applying to an Arizona School of Health Sciences Online Program so that I can achieve my goals even if I am busy with work.

The Girl Who Leapt Through Time

Who would have thought that I would find anime at our local public library. My friends and I were just passing by and then we see DVD's of recent movies like House, High School Musical, and even some teen flicks which I thought was weird. They even had the Mama Mia Soundtrack which I immediately borrowed.

I was pretty fortunate to have come across the anime, "The Girl Who Leapt Through Time". It's been several days since I've last watch any anime so I was pretty excited to watch this one.

Well as the title goes, Makoto is a girl who was able to Time Leap after encountering a device from the future that enables her to go back in time. She abuses her powers from going back in time to get more sleep or eat her favorite dessert. She then realizes that there are limits to the number of time leaps that she can make and that every time she changes something for her benefit, aweful things happen to the people around her.

How amazing it would be if I were able to make time leaps. There are so many things in my life that I wish I could have done differently or I wish I never did in the first place. I have many regrets and I worry about the consequences of my actions. But as Makoto learns, being able to go back to change things makes some things worst and that there are some things that can never be changed because they just happen.

Right now I wish I could time leap and change the person that I have become right now but I have come to realized that I should just accept whatever I have done and just go on with my life. I still believe in fate and that there are things that are really unavoidable.

So right now I will live in the present and dream of the future.

"Time Waits for No One..."

Congratulations to Kris Allen!

Before anyone continues to read this, please be reminded that these are my opinions and this is my personal blog so please don't try to persuade me to like what you like or anything. I'm entitled to my own opinion and preferences.

*******************************************************************

It's such a shame that I wasn't able to keep track of the Season 8 of American Idol... stupid work! Anyway, I've been able to watch the final episode of American Idol where Adam and Kris faced off with three songs.

I've got to admit that Adam Lambert really had awesome vocals and his range isn't something that you always hear these days. Kris Allen in fairness has a great voice too! I love the way that his voice is soothing and calming, I mean his voice doesn't hurt my ears and makes my headache. Let's just say that his type of singing style is the one that I love. And before anyone reacts violently or negatively with this let's remember that everyone has a personal preference or choice so let me be. Some people on YouTube are saying that No Boundaries by Kara DioGuardi is a bad song and that Kris only won because he made it sound better, well I kind of agree with this, except the part where they said that the song was cheesy.

Anyway, everyone was so sure that Adam Lambert was going to win because even Simon was being nice for the first time with Kris Allen, being soft with him even if his performance of No Boundaries wasn't that good because it was too high for him.

But I'm glad that Kris Allen won. Kris and Adam are equally amazing. And just like any other American Idol finalists, it's not always the Winner who gets the highest number of album sales. It also depends with the fans who will continue to support them even after American Idol.

I will buy Kris Allen's album when it becomes available on iTunes because as I said his genre of music is what falls under my personal likes. Kris Allen's style of singing is kind of like David Archuleta's but I know that they both can't be compared.

Anyway, congratulations to all the contestants! Just being on American Idol is awesome enough!
