Try camping

The last time I went camping was when I was 5 years old. We were just playing games back then. Me and my siblings used to make tents at the back of our house and then we’d invite all our friends to join us. We’d bring junk foods and pretend we were really on top of a mountain. It was fun. But I also want to try real camping. My classmate in high school showed me her pictures in Mount Makiling and it’s pretty obvious with their big smiles that they enjoyed mountain climbing and camping. They didn’t need expensive equipment such as rvs, they can’t afford that anyways. They were contented with whatever that would fit in their backpacks which I find cool. It makes me wonder how does it feel to go camping for real. My classmate said it’s pretty tiring but the feeling of being near a mountain or a lake is great. She is actually inviting me to come with her on their next camping trip. Well, okay. I want to try camping but I’m not sure if I’m prepared for such strenuous activity. I would like to be well-prepared if ever I’m going to come with her. Maybe I should gain more weight first.

Prom: A night to remember

Prom is one of the most anticipated events in high school. Everyone is looking forward to that night as if it is the most exciting thing on earth. I remember a few days before our Junior/Senior Night, all my friends were chatting non-stop about what they’re going to wear and who’s going to be their date. I was hesitant to go but my dad, of all people, convinced me to attend :) During that time, my mom was not around so it was my dad who accompanied me to shop for a dress and a pair of high heels. He even hired someone to fix my hair and to put make-up on my face. Memories of my high school prom include young girls in nice dresses and boys in mens suits, boys and girls dancing to the tune of King and Queen of Hearts, and my dad picking me up before 12AM. I think the reason why everyone’s excited about prom is because it’s our only chance to dress up and look really gorgeous. I miss my dad. My personality is really boring. I was never interested in parties or social gatherings. But what if I didn’t attend our high school prom? What if dad didn’t convince me? Wouldn’t that be sad?

Writing about all types of loans

I never imagined my self to be writing about different types of loans because honestly, I don’t have any idea about those things. But I really want to become a freelance writer. It’s my dream and so when I was asked to write about personal loans, I immediately grabbed the opportunity. The hourly rate is not that much but this could be my stepping stone to becoming a certified freelance writer. I researched about the topic and I learned that even those people whose credit background is not perfect are qualified to apply for bad credit loans. This type of loan is actually designed for them.

I’m learning a lot from this writing assignment. The person who hired me is very patient and has always been helpful from the start. He is training me to write fast, as in very fast. I was asked to download a timer/clock and the challenge is to write a 300-word post about personal loans in 30 minutes. Which means to say I have to write 10 words very minute. Well, I’m not good in Math but … more or less 10 words, right? To tell the truth, I couldn’t write that fast. He said he is not expecting me to meet the speed requirements as of now but he expecting improvement as we progress.

I miss my Manila Street

My heart is aching, I’m dying to renew Manila Street. I know my posts there are crappy and non-sense but I still want to have it back. As in now, today, I can’t wait for tomorrow. But since my Paypal account has been suspended for more than a month, I have no choice but to wait until August. It’s really funny because Paypal said I had unusual account activity which is unbelievable. I just forgot my password and then I requested for a reset. A few days later, they are already asking for my credit card to verify my account. Problem is I don’t have one and I have no plans of getting one. I don’t need it. What I actually need is a webhosting guide to get a better understanding of web hosting plans that would suit my needs at the lowest possible price. I really don’t have a problem with my current web host. They’ve been very reliable from the start and the technical support team is always ready to assist in times of trouble especially every time I need a password reset. I just think I should have chosen a cheaper web host plan since MS is just for personal use and I might not be able to submit it in get-paid to blog sites. Perhaps, a one-dollar-a-month web plan will do for Manila Street.

Portia Fan

Aside from the lead character, Calista Flockhart, and Asian actress, Lucy Liu, Portia de Rossi is one of the many reasons why I was addicted with comedy-drama series Ally McBeal. I immediately liked her acting style when I first saw her on TV – she’s smart, witty and very pretty. At first, I couldn’t believe that she is gay because she’s so sexy and beautiful. I just believed it when I saw the videos of her wedding on youtube. She married Ellen de Generes, my favorite talk show host. I like Ellen’s sense of humor, she’s very funny :)

Honestly, I do not consider homosexual as a negative term. I don’t have a problem with gay people especially if they are as adorable as Portia :) In fact, I noticed that most of them are fun to be with and they’re not “plastic.” Most of the gay people I’ve met are very straightforward, they say what’s on their mind in a joking way which I appreciate much.

As I was searching for more photos of Portia and Ellen, I chanced upon this blog which is entitled gay Romania which is written in a foreign language, either Italian or French. I’m not sure. Good thing I have a google translator so I was able to translate the posts in English. I didn’t find any photos of Portia there but reading that blog reminded me that we all created equal.
