Christmas Wishlist: Not Books edition

Behold, my second and last batch of Christmas wishlist!













  1. Design Your Life 2013 Planner
    I have never been a consistent "planner writer" (Is there such thing?) ever since but I'll promise to be one after I get this! It's just so cute I think I'll just be writing on it forever! Besides, I'm almost a college student. (Hihi, reasons.) I think my sister will buy it for me. Yay sister! >:)) Thank God for older sisters. You can ask them expensive gifts without them complaining. Or not? 
  2. Accessories
    Just because I'm getting addicted to them again!
  3. Bags
    I've been eyeing these bags for months now from my sister's classmate's online shop. Shall I buy one for myself?
  4. Lip Smackers
    Still can't believe that Lip Smackers is already in the Philippines! Been wanting to buy all of them! Sadly, it costs more than a hundred and I can't find a set! :( 
  5. Butterfly Champ II paddle
    Because I'm in DIRE need of a new paddle. 
  6. Apple iPod Touch 5th gen - Pink 64GB!
    Please? :) Haha!
  7. Fully Booked Discount Card
*Photos above not mine

I should be studying for our upcoming exams next week but I'm too lazy. I've been making reviewers since lunch time and I'm not yet finished until now. Why do we even need to have a written test for Music? It's useless! I made my second edition of Christmas wishlist instead. Yay procrastination :) Atleast I did something productive... for my blog! ;)

17 days left before Christmas!

The ___ Attitude


Attitude Number: Your general attitude towards life, and how you appear when people first meet/talk you
How to Calculate: Add your month and day together until a SINGLE DIGIT.
Example:
  • November 28th
  • 11, 28 
  • 1+1+2+8=12
  • 1+2= 3 (the 3 Attitude)
Example: 
  • January 20th
  • 1, 20
  • 1+2+0= 2 (the 2 Attitude)
Example:
  • July 6th
  • 7, 6
  • 7+6=13
  • 1+3= 4 (the 4 Attitude)
The 1 Attitude: This is someone who doesn’t like to ask for help. You are completely self-motivated. 1’s have issues with their self-esteem; you just don’t think you’re good enough. That’s why you need praise from others. If you people in you, then there’s nothing you can’t achieve; if they don’t you’ll rebel.

The 2 Attitude: You are easygoing. 2’s tend to be the observer. You have a romantic streak and love is important to you. You’re also intrigued with anything regarding psychic ability, and experience deja vu. You have dreams that come true. You are in touch with your intuition and the meta-physical (philosophical) side of life. You do have compassion for people and are fascinated with people’s stories. You are rarely bored with those.

The 3 Attitude: You like to joke. You have a sense of humor and are charismatic. The Peter Pan Syndrome, you don’t necessarily grow up. But when you’re in a good mood, it’s a big smile, bright eyes, and great conversation. If you’re in a bad mood, people don’t get to be happy around you. You have that effect on people. 

The 4 Attitude: You are a list keeper. There are times when 4’s become very quiet and people do not know what they’re thinking. You’re keeping track of all that’s happening. People might find you surrounded by nature, or doing any form of repair, or construction. You teach all of us. You become an expert at your skill and teach people how to do it. You definitely will play devil’s advocate; meaning you make people see all sides, both the positive and the negative. You will confront people who you think are being dishonest. 

The 5 Attitude: You are playful and fun. You need to go and explore the world, and if you get stuck in a monotonous (boring, tedious) situation, you can wind up playing the martyr (feeling that your life is taken away). So, better for you to get out there. It’s all about adventure and excitement. You love to flirt and tease, and you’re usually the life of the party.

The 6 Attitude: You are the nurturer. Male or female, you are taking care of everybody else. A child who is a 6 Attitude act as if they are your mother or father. You’re the one in charge; you don’t want people telling you what to do or how to be. You feel most useful when things are out of control and you are fixing it. If it’s peaceful, you don’t know what to do with yourself. You definitely take care of other people and you’re usually great with children or running a business.

The 7 Attitude: People don’t know what you’re thinking or feeling. You keep to yourself and are introspective. You must continue studying the quest of why you’re here. You have no problem asking direct questions but will look at people suspiciously if they ask you even one. You reveal yourself slowly as you go. You can shut down and make people feel that you’re not remotely interested in what they’re saying, but the joke is on them because you are the ultimate observer. You don’t miss a thing. 

The 8 Attitude: You have no problem telling people what you think. You can be a little too blunt, so it is best for others to keep your sense of humor and focus on the positive things in life. More often than not, many 8’s are seen reading investor’s magazines or brainstorming on how to improve their lives, establish financial security. If you have family, you want to be a good provider. The flip side of the 8 is that money can seem completely unattainable (feeling like money will slip right through your fingers). You must treat each day as a chance for a new beginning. You have to let go of the past, or you will harbor negative thoughts that will interfere with today’s potential happiness. 

The 9 Attitude: You are the leader. At work, you’ll not just do your job but everyone else’s. Wherever you go, people will look at you as the person in charge. Your way of life is basically “Show me what to do, and I will do it.” If you have any emotional scars from your childhood, you need to let them go. If you do not, it can lead to depression. You are very quick to help others, but you must learn to establish healthy boundaries so as not to be drained emotionally.

The 4 Attitude: You are a list keeper. There are times when 4’s become very quiet and people do not know what they’re thinking. You’re keeping track of all that’s happening.

Sonya's Garden


Along with my family last Saturday, I had a lunch buffet at Sonya's Garden in Alfonso, Cavite. The  ambiance was so peaceful, I thought I was in a church! The people are neat and quiet and the whole place is really relaxing. The cool wind of Tagaytay seemed to be present in Alfonso, too. We didn't mind the long trip on the way there because the food was really delicious.

First, we were served with the salad greens along with some cucumber, mangoes, nuts and a whole lot more.


They also have this Sonya's Super Secret Salad Dressing that I loved so much. I think I got full eating just the salad itself!


Next up were the bread and the chicken. The chicken's not really a part of the lunch buffet, but when we made our reservation, I think my dad ordered chicken already. So yep, we had chicken. I think it was marinated with lots of herbs and spices 'cause I can recognize the taste! My mom usually does that, marinating chicken with herbs. The bread, on the other hand, was a fresh baked whole wheat sesame bread. Dips and toppings came along with it like basil pesto, white cheese, anchovies, and a whole lot more. Plus, they're homemade!



Next was pasta! A bowl of noodles were given to us then several bowls of different sauces came along with it. You get to make a pasta of your own choice and you can put in fried salmon belly to add texture and taste! 



What I love most in buffets: dessert! This time, we were given a slice of chocolate cake, turon, sweet potatoes and tarragon tea! Don't underestimate their chocolate cake, even I gave up eating it because of its sweetness regardless of the size! It was just too sweet! 


Tarragon tea!! The leaves are available in their shop so you can make this tea in your home. :)


Sweet potatoes! Didn't try this, though. But we were told that it is best eaten with mint leaves. I found it weird but my sibs and 'rents liked it.


Turon!


Unlike most buffets wherein you stand up and go around to get some food, here at Sonya's Garden, they bring the food to you! If you want to have some more of their food, you can just ask the waiters and waitresses and they'll do the refill themselves. Great for lazy people! Haha! This sit-down style that they have makes the buffet look like set meals that adds class to their service.

Before going there, reservations should be made. Should you want to know more about Sonya's Garden, you can visit their site here! I recommend you to try! :)

With all these food, you'll never notice that you're already full! All of their ingredients come from their garden so they really choose the best ones for the quality of their food. They also have additional services like the spa, bed and breakfast, panaderia, and country store. They also have a place wherein you can rent for wedding receptions, debut, and meetings.

Can't wait to go back!

Intramurals '12

I'm not really a fan of sports since I'm scared to all kinds of balls, and for the past few years of my highschool life I thought that our intrams are just school days with no homeworks and quizzes and stuff... but this year, I was busy as a bee that made me enjoy it! That's because I'm one of the players of table tennis of our class along with Patty. I'm happy to say that in the three (or four?) games we played against different sections, Patty and I still had no losses! Yay! I also officiated some of the games since I'm a CAT officer. With that, I had free lunch from Tuesday to Friday. :> Oh, the perks of being an officer... haha! The intramurals lasted from November 13-16. Sadly, those four days weren't enough to finish all of the games so the continuation of intrams is this coming week, but only during dismissal. :( 

Took a picture with Lunchmates before the parade! :) 

Obviously, the leftmost girl is our muse dressed as a football player. :D

Catwalk!

The basketball game begins...

The boys in our class don't know how to play basketball so in order to score, they ask their opponents if they can shoot the ball! Hahaha! (And that explains the smiling guy in yellow)

Volleyball game against St. Thomas!

With Patty! :)

St. Simon's badminton game versus St. Pio! Our class were so hyped that time because it was the championship game. Fortunately, we won. Yay!


Classmates goofing around with our adviser, Ms. Camu.

Champs! :)

P.S. Have you noticed my new blog title, "nous sommes infinie"? It's a French term for "We are infinite", taken from the book The Perks of Being A Wallflower. I know I often change it.. haha! 

P.P.S. I have a lot more things to blog about! Keep visiting! :D
