hmmmm. started the day with a little hesitation if i could make it to school. fortunately, i was able to combat my fever and wuuhhhuuu, i made it. siggggghhhhhhh.
first stop was volleyball. i started the game a little rough but at the end, i think i was able to make points for our group! go red team! first game and we won! we were so happy :)
hutecin was dedicated to miss pineda's sort of a gameshow. we were laughing but eventually, we scored 27. not bad cause the highest score was 29 (i think so).
engltwo... hmmm... at last, note cards :D well, i'm really happy with my midterm grade ;)
that was the day at school. by the way, i would like to thank miss andrea bettina jacinto for buying me C2 lemon as i conquered the bitter taste of tempra.

// kadiri talaga si _ _ _ _ _! yuck!
// i'm becoming mean again... pero totoo naman! :D

assignment in HUTECIN... hi miss piNEdA! ;)

Assessment about http://www.tantease.tk

Hooking up to the world of online business is undeniably becoming a major competitive advantage in the business world, be it a small, medium or a large enterprise. It serves as a breakthrough point to even expand a business’ operations worldwide. What’s the difference about a small online business selling a limited number of products to a large one that has a variety of products to offer? Actually, there is none. The only point to consider is how well the products are presented in such a way that it can attract more customers. I visited TANTEASE’s site and in this short article, I will make an assessment according to the guidelines given by our professor, Ms. Pineda.
Tantease’s site has indeed a very artistic environment. The warm and cozy sun picture and logo already give the customers the gist of the site. When I browsed through the site to see their sample trousers, I was amazed because the pictures that were shown were presented in a very catchy manner. Images were clear and pictures were also presented that showed how a trouser can be worn in different styles thus giving an ordinary girl an array of extraordinary styles to cope up with the trends in fashion. The photo gallery also exhibited a number of mix and match styles and patterns ideas.
I did not have a hard time browsing their products because the site also has a simple and default pattern of navigating through the web pages. It just takes a click and a simple amount of passion to jive into the mere essence of the site.
The functionality of the buttons and commands is also effective. The site is indeed very simple that even a first-timer online shopper can cope through the buttons presented. I would like to add some comments to make the most out of the site’s effectiveness and functionality. I tried to browse how the process would go if I order online. There was no mode of payment being shown and the shopper just has to enter the order together with its specifications, e-mail, name and a contact number. An e-mail confirmation will then be sent over the shopper’s e-mail and the customer does not have any idea of how the ordered product will be delivered. I think having a credit card payment option would boost the sales of the site. Also, tying up with a logistics company that can handle the deliveries of the products would also help. But I understand that this site was made by students and so, such requirements would be hard to meet. But in the future, the said recommendations can be made.

i guess i must let go in order to reach the other side of the fence. life is all about moving on. starts with goodbye would be the only niche for choice. i'm trying to be sentimental tonight. with sentimental songs and cold cucumber in my closed eyes. goodnight everyone.

//sometimes when life gets dull, you have no choice but to absorb its bitterness.

VaLentine's dAy
Tuesday, February 14, 2006//

i started the day by making lolo and lola delighted by the food mom cooked for them. then, a truly exciting volleyball came and all i can say is, " our team rocks" :) i had fun time practicing and as well as doing the practical test. it challenged our teamwork which we proved so strong. netcomm test followed and it was just okay :) then, the never-ending note taking was done in engltwo. after class, camille and i went to the computer shop to download the slides. "no shi na ta wa li mi al ko... hahaha". then i went straight home.

wonderin where is the valentine story? oh well, you can't find here one. the card given by camsie will be the only memorabilia i'll keep. and of course, greetings will also be one. though i do not have my valentine, i'll just pour my love to those people whom i know love me so much. love you mom and dad! :)

love. i wonder if there is trouble with love. anyway, i hope all of us had a happy heart's day :)

//yipee! congratulations to ms. kelly clarkson for winning the best female pop vocal performance award for her mega-hit "Since U Been Gone."

When she performed less than an hour later on the same stage where she tearfully accepted that award, the choice of song seemed obvious. Except it wasn't.
Instead of belting out "Since U Been Gone" — one of the best 3-minutes of angst-ridden pop that mainstream music has produced in a good while — Clarkson sang her ballad, "Because of You."
The former "American Idol" — of all people — should have known that song choice is everything.
Wearing a beautiful, flowing red dress, Clarkson (introduced by Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger) strode out from beside a grand piano, singing with a strong, confident voice:
"Because of you, I never strayed too far away from the sidewalk. ... Because of you, I am afraid."
Could she have been thinking of Simon Cowell?
While the performance was perfectly fine, it felt a little reminiscent of those many mediocre, superficial ballads trotted out on "Idol."
Speaking of which, "Idol" was one word she didn't utter while accepting her pop vocal award.

no to plagiarism! :D

a long day had passed.
//

i started the day by doing the aiesec marketing call (though i only called 2 companies!). all of them told me to just fax the proposal to the person in charge of those sponsorship stuff. then, i went and of course attended NeTcOMM class. the first part was okay and i was very eager to do the problems because i felt i was just playing. but eventually and unfortunately, it turned to be a complex and boring subject that i almost played with my pen :)

vom... i don't wanna tell and remember that.

film showing? the appropriate term is video clips showing. hahaha. after that, of course, t and r were taken. camille and i were left as tokens.

the joyous equation: taft to cavite = 45 minutes :) some kind of a miracle.

is this for real?!? an e-mail from matt.
Wednesday, February 08, 2006//
