Before this year 2015 ends, let me take this opportunity to thank everyone who keeps on supporting my (this) blog. The memories of  2015 had been captured in the pages of this blog and I'm truly grateful to God for the memorable and enjoyable 2015. It's now to time to leave the past (but don't forget the good memories) and all together let's face the new challenges of 2016. Please allow me to be part of your 2016. As I continue this journey, I'm looking forward for another grateful year to come. Great things are coming ahead. I declare this 2016 as my year of- prosperity, blessing, victory, overflowing joy and (lovelife?) LOL. I'm so excited for 2016. Happy New Year to Everyone. Welcome 2016! May you have a prosperous New Year! Keep going everyone. God bless.

Hi everyone, as I promised, I'll be posting our fun and amazing activity we've done last Christmas eve. Annually, we celebrate Christmas with our family in a unique way. We always have different concepts and motif every year. We find it very fun and exciting as we organized a party extraordinarily.  The preparation in putting up makeups and and making clothes to wear every Christmas is another way for us to bond as a family. And for this year's concept we come up a creative way to celebrate Christmas -  this year it is Christmas at the Capitol. For this year 2015, we got the idea from the hit movie series "The Hunger Games" where the movie presented the different fashion from the Capitol or they simply call it "Capitol Cotoure". We had really fun preparing the dresses, designing the outfit, accesorize and do the gothic makeups. Everyone cooperated and participated in that costume party. After the pictorial, we had exchanging gifts, party games and the an

I thank my good God for giving me the merry Christmas, maybe it's not the merriest but it's one of the best. I always look forward for this day because Christmas spirit gives me the feeling of joy and peace within. With all the Christmas sales around the supermalls, parties and family gatherings, who wouldn't love Christmas? But above all these things, why I love Christmas is because of the message itself- Christ came! No other stories to tell. It is the season where we're reminded about the love of our Savior. So it's good to celebrate and spread the positive vibes. I personally enjoyed my Christmas with my family. We had fun games, Christmas costume motif ( we did it every year) and the Noche Buena with my family. I'll be posting some of my snapshots later in the part 2 of this post. *wink  From my humble blog, My Foliage Diary... this is Lyne wishing you  merry, merry Christmas and prosperous New Year to come. God Bless!

It's good to know that Christmas break is coming. Right at this moment this is what I needed, this is what I wanted. I thank God that I was given the time to unwind and unleash all the negative thoughts I have inside. I was given a break, definitely!  We had a wonderful time with my coteachers. We went to a resort-it came up to be an exclusive resort since we were the only customers at that time. The place is called Blu Sands resort-and definitely I fell in love to the place. It's so relaxing and it's view is so amazing. I got the chance to ride on a bananaboat. The experience was fun and exciting. Though we were thrown out in the water, but sometimes we have to experience daring adventures to LIVE. At that moment I feel so alive. I feel like I was the most adventurous woman in the world. I thank God for this wonderful experience. How about you? What are the wonderful experience you got this holiday? Share and inspire with your wonderful and adventurous trip. Keep going and

It's the time of the year again where families and friends will celebrate together and enjoy the cold holiday season. Yes, everyone is expecting for a great Christmas celebration. It’s getting near. One great thing about Christmas season is that everyone is willing to give their time and finances for others to be happy. It’s really rewarding when you see in their eyes (people you've helped) that happiness you’ve caused to them. Christmas season is also the great time to showcase individuals' talents. Christmas parties, fun games, family gathering and alumni homecoming. This lovely season could really showcase individuals talents. Right now, you should start practicing your group or individual presentation. Everyone should take the challenge to achieve excellence. Well, I believe that one must try to manipulate and improve your sound presentation through  sampling rate. This one good tip to practice for an audio manipulation and learn about the digital audio basics. Great

Everything is falling apart, all of a sudden, it collapsed in front of me and I can't do something about it.I felt the pain and agony inside me.I couldn't express and tell how does it happen? I couldn't explain the feeling.The sad fact. Even this blog couldn't express how I felt right now. It's blue. I am alone. Lonely. In this place, I became a stranger. Nobody understands. I couldn't explain myself and nobody cares to ask. Help is nowhere to be found! Then I began to build up my walls again (again!). In this wall... I can keep myself from people who wants to hurt me. In this wall... I am aloft and nobody will see it. So, these walls stand tall. I want to build it to protect myself from hurting. Anytime they might destroy me, but all I want is to hide in this huge wall. God wants it to be remove... but I won't because,.. I am still hurting. In some point, He's asking me to remove it in order for me to  be healed. But this odd rebellious feeling craving

Hi Guys, I would like to share to you this post. Actually I'm really hesitant to post this article in my blog because, I might get criticized of my grammar and information stated in this article. But I'm proud because it is my first time to have my article published in a local "publishing house". Hahaha It's located in Iligan City and I'm glad that my article is featured in the Philippine Post Digest (Magazine- October Issue). The together with the other DepEd teachers in Iligan City, we've come up a great and informative Magazine about education. Here's my article. A Kilometer Journey to Success:  The Challenges in the Implementation of Senior High School in Hinterland How will you define “success”? Success is the accomplishment of an aim or purpose. Many people aim for financial success, to have a happy family and have the right career. While for students, they define success by having their hard-earned-diploma and graduate in their chosen course. B

Oh, I know what you're thinking. Please don't... don't bash me because of the title of this post. Don't judge... just continue reading, please? While everyone go crazy about this "AlDub", I was like, what?? What is that crazy thing all about?Well, it's not my first time to post about the phenomenal loveteam  "ALDub" here in my blog, it is my second time and no one can stop me now.  This kooky loveteam ALDub (ALden Richards and Maine Mendoza's pair up) came to the country by storm- and they're unstoppable. They are the hottest love team in the Philippines right now. How could a "spilt-screen" loveteam can come up with a great Chemistry? I am a fan of this loveteam since Day 1. I cannot elaborate how I was hooked up in this love team. Just check out my earlier post here .  how it started... the accidental meet up. they develop the loveteam through split screen ... (what excites the viewer is they haven't meet personally) a

Hi everyone. I've been so busy this past few weeks that's why I hardly post in my blog. But I thank you guys for always keeping in touch with me. I will always and forever grateful to you. I'll gonna make this message simple and short, It's a great day to celebrate my natal day. Today is my 26th birthday and I wouldn't let this day pass without thanking all the people who loves me. From the bottom of my heart I really thank you for always visiting my blog (it really means a lot to me), I thank my family for their unwavering support and to my co-teachers who always make my work easier (having a great working place is priceless). I also thank my "best friends" who came and celebrate with me. And, to my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ who continually pursue and cares for me through out my 26 years in this world. I can't believe how time flies so fast. I feel like it was yesterday when I first opened my eyes and see my mother's first smile, when I started

Hi everyone. it's a cold and rainy evening.. and I'm loving it. It's really a good feeling in finding time for myself. It's a joy and it makes me feel at peace with myself. I just love the feeling listening to the rhythm of the rain. I'm a pluviophile in some way (word of the day actually!). There's a part of me who find comfort whenever it rains and I feel calm and relaxed. I think rainy season is just perfect time for me to think. It's a perfect time for me to dream big and think my wildest thoughts (dreaming of impossible dreams). Though, it makes me a little bit weirder when it rains. I wanna play under the rain and go crazy (just to reminisce my childhood), cry under the rain (because nobody will notice it), and scream and shout to the rain because its the the best feeling ever. That's how rain brings out the "bipolar" in me.lol. Just kidding. Thanks to the rain though. Here's the scenario of today: It rains so hard lately.  I spent t

Everybody go crazy with this new phenomenal love team Aldub. Aldub fans are fast growing and increasing. They even made a whole nation "Aldubnation" (to be exact) heheh-  it's the name of the loveteam fanatics. I never expect that I will be hooked up with this loveteam. Actually I am not a GMA Kapuso fan and I don't really watch their TV shows. When the video of the two goes viral and out of curiosity, I clicked the play button... and magic happened. hahah There's an unexpected "spark" and "chemistry" between the two. They are tagged as the "outbreak loveteam". The team up of Alden Richards and Maine Mendoza or popularly known as "yaya Dub" is unexpected and accidental. The two caught up in a camera from the segment of the longest running noontime show in the Philippines "Eat Bulaga" and that moment- magic happens. That magical moment was caught up on camera- the chemistry was there and the spark in their eyes just

Great days are coming ahead. As a teacher, everyday is always full of fun and excitement day. I have to admit that being a teacher, you got all the stressful days- paper works and classroom management. But still at the end of the day, you can still put a smile in your face because of the good and memorable things that happened to you. Earlier, we had a fun and enjoyable photoshoot with my students. We are having our "Sci-Math" celebration and we will be having our "G. at Bb. Agham 2015"(Mr. & Ms. Science 2015) pageant and everyone is excited. There are many hopeful student-whom I really expect were shy- but now they really come out of there shell. I was the one who made them more beautiful today. I applied makeup on them and they really look gorgeous. Here is one of the great shot we had today. We love our photoshoot  today. They really look excited for the pageant. Everyone are looking for the pageant.I really want that everything will be perfect- from stage de

I live a life inside my comfort zone. I can't believe that I'm turning 26 this October. The life I have is somewhat constant, comfortable, happy, enjoyed and blessed. I thank God for all that He've done. But life now a days are somewhat complicated. Your age now will dictate of who you are and what you will become. In my age, the society dictates, that one must have a job, study in masters and accomplished something. One must be in a stable job, that we should start walking in the road of marriage and motherhood. Expectations and dictates are somewhat cruel. Yes I got the job, yepeey! But there are some few things that needs to be added in  the checklist. It frustrates me because they're really expecting you to have it. It's quite sad because (I'm afraid) I may turn out to be a woman who hurry things up- and it's not in my personality. Once I decided things and do something  I always cook it up and weigh things out. I don't want to have regrets in the en

Sometimes managing our own time is not that easy as we think. We have to make sure we know our priorities. For me, being employed in a public school, working with my blog, studying masters degree and working as Sunday school teacher and supporting ministries at church is really difficult. It really requires great determination. In my case, I'm having a hard time to finish one single task because I make sure I've done my best in all tasks. But time flies so fast, so we have to make sure we can accomplish the job just right in time. There are some unexpected events that comes along the way- that will completely ruin your scheduled or planned activities. Some unexpected guest that visits you at home, some events that needs to be attended or additional task that is given to you unexpectedly. These are the factors that will surely affect your planners' to do lists. So here are some of the things to do: 1. Do it right and slowly. No matter how hard or complicated it is, you will

Life is a journey filled with different lessons. There are times that these life lessons leaved a special space in our hearts. Some of these life-lessons are joy, hardships, heartaches and unforgettable moments. Mostly we are preoccupied with busyness that we forget to laugh and be joyful. My friend, we only live once so make use of it. For me, it's a kind of "therapeutic" for me when I spend time with myself and do the things I love to do- I called it my "me time". Some resourceful activities we want to do in our me time are painting, drawing and singing. I can do all that except singing and playing the musical instrument. (It is my childhood frustrations). In that case, I might secure the toby keith 35 biggest hits songbook to learn strumming. In that way I could fully understand playing music instruments. I tell you, if you have with you your paintbrush,canvass, guitar and biggest hit songbook- your me time would be very perfect. Keep going everyone. God bl

Hahaha I was watching one of the most loved "tele-drama" here in the Philippines. It is very popular TV Series here.Today is the most awaited ending.Many were saddened because they can no longer watch their favorite show. I'm not a fan, but I used to watch it. Well, the series is a typical type of love story.It ends very well- as usual the "they live happily ever after" just happened again. The guy confesses that she still love the girl and they both admit that they still love each other. I'm not the protagonist (type) here, but the story was close to impossible (after all that happened) I cannot elaborate how the story goes. It is entitled "Forevemore" (it became a popular word after the airing of the drama)- so naturally the director should stick to its title- to give the audience a forevermore ending. But one thing this drama contribute on how I perceive life is this... (maybe) there is forever. In my human nature of thinking, I don't believ

Have you heard about OCD or many called it an Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder. Some may not noticed it that they already possessed this kind of disorder. And I am one of them... At first I don't really have the idea about this kind of disorder, but I think it's getting worse. My friends and I usually crack jokes about it. We call ourselves "OCs" whenever we do or perform some projects. When we pay attention into details, we call ourselves "OC". What is OCD? (for you to understand what I'm talking about). Thanks to Google I found the perfect definition... " "Obsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD) is an anxiety disorder with intrusive thoughts and repetitive behaviors due to fear or paranoia. It can produce uneasiness, apprehension, worry (obsessions), aimed at reducing the associated anxiety (compulsions), or a combination of such obsessions and compulsions." This means it is an anxiety disorder characterized by uncontrollable, unwanted thoughts

Hi guys, I can't stop myself but to really buzz you about my latest discovery. This discovery is not that huge but it's really useful to me. I used to have a dull and dry hair, but thank God, I finally found the one for me. I'm sorry guys to disappoint you ( sorry boys, only women could really appreciate this post. If you will browse in some of my blog post, you will notice that I have dull and kinky hair. Used to do hair rebonding every 6 months of every year. My annual hair rebonding (without proper treatment) resulted into tremendous hair dryness and dullness. But finally, I bumped into a right shampoo for me. The name of the "magic" shampoo is  "Dove Intensive Repair" conditioner. Miracles really happen through this shmapoo (note: *dove didn't paid me to make this testimony. It really came from the heart) I started using this shampoo two weeks now and I clearly see the results based on my personal encounter with the product. Now I greatly promote

Through technology, everything is possible...  We can do many things anytime and anywhere. I am speaking about how technology could make our life easier. I am just amazed how technology continually innovates and upgraded in time. No wonder, this could be mixed in your day to day work or even the things you are passionate in doing. I'll site an example, I discovered a simple, yet a very useful for musicians out there. I just love to share this to guys. I am talking about  digital key chain . I discovered it in one of the site I love and I found it very useful and worth to share. I think everyone has keys, but not everyone has a musical instrument. So, I am sharing this for those who possess both things. I just love the idea how you can come up with a tuner and with your keys with it. The digital tuner makes you in tune with your favorite instruments no matter where you are. It's really a cool gadget anyway. 

I'll be spending the rest of my summer attending ( a quite boring) but a meaningful seminar. I am very sad because I won't be able to attend our Summer Youth in our Church. I got a lot of responsibilities as a teacher- and one of those is to attend seminar. The seminar is about enhancing the curriculum. Yes, as I've said, it a meaningful seminar. But it made me sick because it requires you to sit for hours just to listen to the speaker. I do not say they are the most boring person, but I a person who wants variety. I love to do many things. I am active person. So I found it very difficult to sit and eat (I think I'm over feed) and listen for almost the whole day. This time, I'll be travelling again to attend another educational seminar. I hope that the seminar would end up very soon, because I'm sick and tired of it. I wanna have break and use the rest of my summer going out and enjoying. But I have to accept it- tomorrow is our seminar. So I have to go. good ni

What’s the best solution for a dying laptop battery? I cannot fathom how hard it is to maintain my blogs, working online at the same time working at school. Many times, I have to rush in going home because I still have many tasks to finish. I am working as a blogger; I also worked as SEO on a site at the same time working as a high school teacher. Working this task all together (sometimes the tasks overlap the other) is quite a burden to me. Worst, It's not possible to bring my laptop with me everywhere because it needs to be plugin in the power supply all the time. I cannot bring my laptop everywhere I go. The laptop battery is not performing very well. It cannot save enough power that I need for the whole day. The battery only lasts for a few minutes and it’s gone empty. Some friend of mine suggested me to have the battery replaced. But I cannot guarantee where to find good quality laptop batteries. So I have to search the web and hola… so far Laptop Laptop Batteries at LaptopBat

I so love to share this article about love...I think this really make sense... Check it out. "TO FALL IN LOVE is not the end of “The Search”. Neither is it its purpose. Love is not an accident. Accident is this: you were walking down the street; and with no warning, you “fall” into a manhole – that is what FALLING is (I know, tragic, right?). No wonder it hurts so much after “falling” in love. You fall from heights of expectations that are just too unreal. Ask yourself this: Do you wish to Fall in Love, or do you want TO LOVE? TO BE in love is never by accident. It is a deliberate, conscious choice to love. Even Falling in Love, as most of you young ones say, is not just some random event. To Fall in Love means you either INTENTIONALLY looked too closely, stood over the edge, enabling you to most possibly – fall. You still made a choice. You most likely spent too much time with the person; you made yourself available; you allowed your imagination run wild after he asked you

Singlehood have never been an issue for me, But not until today. Hahaha. I can't escape from people who are pressuring me. I am already 25, but I never had any serious relationship. They say it's the right age for me to have a boyfriend. But for me, I have to stick on my principle- to seek out the right relationship (vs. any just relationship) Anyway, I have been living for 25 years without a boyfriend. Though, I used to have two when I was in high school, but it's not really serious. Sometimes, I missed the time that I cried for someone (while hugging my pillow), smiling like crazy and having my sleepless nights thinking of that guy. I admit, when I look back that feeling was really awesome. That was aaa looooong time ago000. Singlehood is a choice. It's a serious decision. I decided to be serious with my studies and remain single when I was in college and look at me now-I finished my degree with flying colors. I'm not bragging my achievements, but I am emphasizing

No one could compare the love and care of a mother. It's truly, indeed, incomparable. You probably say I'm biased in my writings, but forgive me dad, for writing so much gratitude for mom in this blog. Anyway, dad you know how much I love you :) Mother's in our generations were sometimes misunderstood. But as I grow older, I finally understand moms moisy mouth- those are for our benefits (not maybe today bu someday). She's also an ultimate multi-tasker... a promising super hero and etc. Well, that's how moms work. Doing all the errands, keeping all in place. Taking good care of  her kids and (sometimes working moms do additional tasks). And take note, they're doing it without pay. Yes, you read it right- it's all free. Truly you can say that moms love are unconditional. Though it's not that perfect, but showing and giving the best that she could really put me into tears. Children out there, I tell you, value all the people that truly loves you and find w

A great family is a gift. I am so thankful and blessed that God gave us another wonderful year. Year 2014 had passed and we're about to face another great and exciting year. Let go of the past experience and hold on to a promise of a great year that's ahead of us. This year 2015, I'm expecting great and mighty things that God will bless us. I thank the Lord for my family, because there's no such expensive things on earth that could compare a great family. Though we don't have much riches that we can brag, but I am truly grateful to have a wonderful family such as this. For the years to come.. I continually pray that God will truly move in our lives, pour out His blast blessings and share this wonderful blessings to others. I'm looking for another wonderful year with them. And those who've been a part of this blog- thank you for being a part of my life. Truly, I appreciate all of you guys. See you in my next adventure. Welcome 2015. Happy New Year everyone. G
