Payment From My Search Funds

Finally got my payment from My Search Funds.
They decided to give all earnings starting from Aug 1 to charity so they paid out all the members' earnings, whether they reached the minimum payout of 20GBP or not.
I got 12.04GBP or $17.61.
Not bad, right?

They've Got It All For Us!

My family decided to get lunch at the mall to celebrate what would've been my parents' 33rd wedding anniversary.
We ate at Rai-rai Ken (hated the fact that they didn't have matching spoons and forks. Buti na lang may chopsticks) and my sister and I went shopping at SM.
I had difficulty shopping for stuff 'coz of my swollen hand.
Here are some pics of our day:

Lady Gaga Quotes

-Some artists are working to buy the mansion or whatever the element of fame must bear, but I spend all my money on my show.

-Writing a record is like dating a few men at once. You take them to the same restaurants to see if they measure up, and at some point you decide who you like best. When you make music or write or create, it's really your job to have mind-blowing, irresponsible, condomless sex with whatever idea it is you're writing about at the time.

-I think that fashion and music go hand-in-hand, and they always should. It's the artist's job to create imagery that matches the music—something powerful that will really grab the audience and create a memorable impression. I think they're very intertwined, and I'm part of that too.

-The Fame is about how anyone can feel famous. Pop culture is art. It doesn’t make you cool to hate pop culture, so I embraced it and you hear it all over The Fame. But, it’s a sharable fame. I want to invite you all to the party. I want people to feel a part of this lifestyle.

Leonardo Dicaprio Quotes

-I've never been Romeo who meets a girl and falls for her immediately. It's been a much slower process for me each time I've gone into a relationship.

-If you can do what you do best and be happy, you're further along in life than most people.

-The best thing about acting is that I get to lose myself in another character and actually get paid for it... It's a great outlet. I'm not really sure who I am - it seems I change every day.

-The good thing about acting is that it always keeps you on your toes... It's not like any other job where you can go in and do the same thing as yesterday.

-To believe in love, to be ready to give up anything for it, to be willing to risk your life for it, is the ultimate tragedy.

How Do You Take Care of Your Feet?

I noticed that the soles of my feet weren't as soft as they were before.
I am now taking more time to care for my feet and I'm currently using the products seen above.
I'm not really into getting a foot spa done at a salon so I usually just do it myself at home.
I was wondering if anyone out there could kindly suggest better foot care products since the ones I'm using now doesn't seem to be doing a good job.
Thanks. ^_^

Madonna Quotes

-To be brave is to love someone unconditionally, without expecting anything in return. To just give. That takes courage; because we don't want to fall on our faces or leave ourselves open to hurt.

-I'm tough, I'm ambitious, and I know exactly what I want. If that makes me a bitch, okay.

- Sometimes you have to be a bitch to get things done.

-I'd like to think I am taking people on a journey; I am not just entertaining people, but giving them something to think about when they leave.

-I think the ultimate challenge is to have some kind of style and grace, even though you haven't got money, or standing in society, or formal education. I had a very middle, lower-middle class sort of upbringing, but I identify with people who've had, at some point in their lives to struggle to survive. It adds another color to your character.

- It is difficult to believe in a religion that places such a high premium on chastity and virginity.

-I think that life is a paradox and you have to embrace that in your work and your belief systems ... you can't be a literalist, and that's the trouble that people always find themselves in. That's why people always hit a wall with any of my stuff, because you can't take it literally.

What Movie Is Your Love Life Like?

Review:Up (Spoiler-free)

I loved this film.
I had the chance to watch it in 3D theater and I wasn't disappointed.
It was worth the extra 100php.
The story was touching and very entertaining.
The characters were cute and unique.
It made me think of my own life and made me realize that I was losing perspective.
I admit, some scenes made me cry.
It made me think of what my life would be like when I'm old.
This is definitely my new favorite animated movie.
Bring a friend, your family and loved ones to this movie.
I definitely recommend it.
