Its been awhile, I know but a lot of things have happened and I just don’t have the time to do a lot of stuff – one of which is blogging. I have a lot of unfinished business to take care of first before I get back on the bandwagon and it being the new [...]
We are finally back home, Reign had another go at the hospital for gastroenteritis and of course we had to stay for another 6 days. It was a scary, arduous and emotionally draining three weeks for us, not to mention the holes we now have in our pockets.
Anyway, surprises where waiting for us [...]
I have not done anything these past few weeks, my children were hospitalized last week because of dengue fever. Khleomi was treated for acute bronchitis a week before and just when she was about to finish up her treatment they were both admitted for dengue.
It was the worst week of our lives, the daily blood [...]
I’ve been watching and reading Naruto for the longest time and although I am a certified Naruto addict (our balcony design has the konoha sign on it… ) I am bound to find another anime that I would absolutely love and when I accidentally found Kuroshitsuji it was love at first sight.
It actually [...]
I’ve been out of it again for a week, had too much projects piling up but then again I enjoy the work. And the payout keeps me from looking for another job. I was offered a lot of jobs with salaries that I would jump at without a thought if I’m 4 years younger. But [...]
Today I turn 18 for the nth time. I don’t really know what I want, except of course for the universal birthday wish: “Good health and long life…” Hmm… I want a house, I want a car, I want a new pair of this, I want a new that, I want everything I’ve ever wanted! [...]
Typhoon Ondoy has left for greener pastures but the devastation he left was almost too much to bear. Iloilo was not as hard hit, we had no power and no internet connection but it was only for two days. I just got back my connection and scoured the web for news and what I saw [...]
Power and internet connection was down since yesterday. Typhoon Ondoy is raging and lashing over the whole archipelago with Luzon getting the brunt of it. And of course I am pissed off, with the amount of work that I need to finish up by Monday I could not just sit back, relax and wait the [...]
I know I am a fickle minded collector, I collect dragons and I love them but recently I’ve been quite obsessed with dolls. Not the barbie type that most girls grow up with, I don’t like them and have never expressed any type of attachment to them although my little girl loves them. In fact, [...]

This is a poem for a client that I have translated into Filipino, I was having a bit of fun with soundbooth and recorded the poem. It came out surreal… The original poem is called One Hundred Flowers by T. Namaya.
Isang daang bulaklak
Sana’y merong isang daang bulaklak
Ng kapayapaang namumulaklak sa hardin
Sana’y merong isang daang [...]
I’ve been collecting Mcfarlane dragons and have a very special place for them in my heart. I would never trade them for anything else. But lately, I’ve been mesmerized by Pullip and Taeyang dolls… They have faces to die for but the price would leave you lightheaded. The cheapest I saw online goes for $80 [...]
When does it get too much to stomach? When does it get too overrated? How can people be so callous as to make an extravagance out of an already ostentatious event?
I once said that I would stop myself from talking about Philippine Politics or at least, what seems to be left of it, but the [...]
I just watched Spirited Away (Sen to Chihiro no Kamikakushi), a Japanese anime film about a 10-year old girl named Chihiro who wandered into the world of spirits, monsters and gods and found the meaning of love, friendship and sacrifice. Chihiro’s name was changed to Sen by the evil sorceress Yubaba so that she could [...]
In case you haven’t noticed, BeThumbed is sporting a new look. I might or might not keep the theme depending on the status of the new theme I am working on right now. But as of the moment, I just want to have a bit more color in my life. I’m feeling a bit melancholic [...]
Yesterday, I screwed up big time and I even wrote about it in a brand new wordpress install. I was ready to start anew, to leave everything behind but something inside me just wouldn’t give up. So I tried to check the damaged database file I have downloaded and after hours of extensive research I [...]
Yesterday, August 1, 2009, one person that I looked up to went home to Heaven. She is not a relative, I don’t know her personally but her’s was a face I saw on tv when I was barely able to decide for myself. Her’s was a face I could recognize anywhere even at the tender [...]
For those who don’t already know I am a big anime freak, as of the moment I am addicted to Love Hina, Fairy Tail and of course, Naruto.
I grew up with Dragon Ball Z, Zenki, Samurai X, Fushigi Yuugi, Hana Yori Dango, Ghost Fighter, Flame of Recca, Inuyasha and more.
I know I’m already 26, married [...]
Yesterday, I got a surprise when my college friends whom I wasn’t able to see for the longest time went to fetch me for a night out. We went to Spa Riviera for a much needed spa treatment, I have actually been meaning to do this for the longest time as well but just don’t [...]
I was browsing around when I saw this youtube video and somehow felt a great affinity to these people. I once dreamed of changing the world, of being recognized… but I never did fit the bill, I was too eccentric, and don’t seem to understand the word “NO”, I am a misfit and I might [...]
I am not sure if it is okay for me to post the full video here, but what the heck… I’ll just pull it down if ever a problem arises…
I have been trying to get some work done but my mind is a blank – there is nothing there – nada… zilch! So, [...]
I don’t know if this will sell… Although no time to spare, I know I had to do it, my oil pastels are staring me straight in the face telling me to pick it up and make something. And so I did and from that picture a story was born.
The title of the children’s [...]
Yesterday morning, Yahoo, one of our african lovebirds got out of her cage and we almost lost hope of ever finding her again. At around 3PM, my brother-in-law saw her on top of the acacia tree in the church yard in front of our house. She was flitting from tree to tree calling to her [...]
I’M ECLECTIC!!!
Yeah, big news…
Well, I am! And my friends would definitely vouch for me. As for Hayden Kho, he’s as methodical as clockwork working on the same room and with the same camera just with different tastes. Not eclectic at all. But he is a connoisseur (or not…) of women, while these women have bad [...]
I wanted to give my mom flowers for Mother’s Day but with her being assigned to Cagayan De Oro and being constantly traveling, its a bit of a dilemma. So instead of spending money for flowers that will soon wilt, I opted to do a photo manipulation and a poem for my mom…
Happy Mother’s Day!
Alone [...]
I know this is a bit late for Earth Day which was last April 22, but its better late than never. Anyway, I do not know what came into me earlier today but I was longing to have a journal again, something that has my personal touch and not just something that you can buy [...]
It’s been awhile and BeThumbed has suffered because of my neglect, page rank is down to 1. Anyway, we are finally back home, been home for about a week now but we are still slowly adjusting and getting back to our normal lives. It’s still officially summer with Mr. Sun beating down mercilessly on anything [...]
I have always been intrigued by alternative medicines and have tried a few of them, although I am a bit apprehensive I have to say that most of them work as well as, if not as much as, BFAD approved medications. I have heard and read about holistic health, alternative medicines, homeopathy and from what [...]
I don’t own an iPod touch, I don’t have an iPod nor am I planning on buying one… My husband owns a creative zen x-fi that I usually borrow, but my brother is the proud owner of the iPod touch that I am using right now. I own the wireless router so I guess that [...]
BeThumbed is now using the new theme framework that I am going to build my theme on. Instead of thematic I am going to use the hybrid framework with the hybrid news child theme. I’ll be adding some customizations once in awhile to build up the theme but for now, this is it.
