Stumbled upon this awesome site~ Online Etymology Dictionary. If you want to find out about a word's origin, look it up in here. This is for the nerd in me. I ♥ it.

Eleven Hints for Life
Got this one from tumblr and thought it's nice so I'm sharing it with the few (read: 3) people who occasionally read my blog~
1. It hurts to love someone and not be loved in return. But what is more painful is to love someone and never find the courage to let that person know how you feel.
2. A sad thing in life is when you meet someone who means a lot to you, only to find out in the end that it was never meant to be and you just have to let go.
3. The best kind of friend is the kind you can sit on a porch swing with, never say a word, and then walk away feeling like it was the best conversation you’ve ever had.
4. It’s true that we don’t know what we’ve got until we lose it, but it’s also true that we don’t know what we’ve been missing until it arrives.
5. It takes only a minute to get a crush on someone, an hour to like someone, and a day to love someone-but it takes a lifetime to forget someone.
6. Don’t go for looks, they can deceive. Don’t go for wealth, even that fades away. Go for someone who makes you smile because it takes only a smile to make a dark day seem bright.
7. Dream what you want to dream, go where you want to go, be what you want to be. Because you have only one life and one chance to do all the things you want to do.
8. Always put yourself in the other’s shoes. If you feel that it hurts you, it probably hurts the person too.
9. A careless word may kindle strife. A cruel word may wreck a life. A timely word may level stress. But a loving word may heal and bless.
10. The happiest of people don’t necessarily have the best of everything they just make the most of everything that comes along their way.
11. Love begins with a smile, grows with a kiss, ends with a tear. When you were born, you were crying and everyone around you was smiling. Live your life so that when you die, you’re the one smiling and everyone around you is crying.

Weekend Round-up
Still awake. Today is my sister's birthday but she's not here to celebrate with us. This is the second time she's in another country on the day of her birthday. She doesn't know the existence of this blog but I'm still greeting her HAPPY BIRTHDAY! She asked me to do some errands for her. That and her paper on climate change...
Kamusta naman at 3 ang shampoo namin na Clear?
Buzzer-beaters talaga kami. We bought our PCD concert tickets only yesterday, the last day of the promo. After lunch at Galle, we went to SM Hypermart hoping that they sell concert tickets there. Wala pala. So we ended up buying three 200ml Clear shampoos... we don't really like Clear pa naman. The concert better be good. And I hope it won't rain on the 11th. Anyway... Megamall pa rin pala bagsak namin. Umiwas pa naman kami ng Megamall since we anticipated that looking for a parking space there would be a pain in the arse. To cut the long story short, we got our tickets already... at half the price :)
Wanna share pala my experience when my sister and I bought tickets. So we already bought tickets for the concert and then one of them asked us who will be watching. To which we replied, "Us." Then they informed us that pregnant women can't watch the concert. I just laughed it off but really, I want to break her neck. Haha.
The important thing is ya tenemos las entradas! I'm so excited!

After lunch at Galle, we went to Saizen. OMG, I ♥ Saizen. I swear it's a money wasteland. If you enter the store without anything in mind to buy, rest assured that you'll end up buying at least one item that you'll later on realized you don't really need. Haha.
I love that store! There are so so so many cute things. The P85 price tag could fool you into thinking everything's cheap but when you think about it, it's actually pretty expensive. Maybe I'd buy cute notebooks for P85 but I wouldn't buy small staplers at the same price. I could get staplers in National at a cheaper price. Basta, keep your guards up and do not end up buying everything that catches your fancy or else...
I have four new bottles of nail polish ♥

Saw this magazine shop in Galle that sells old editions of Sweet Valley Twins. Even just the sight of the books made me feel nostalgic. Grabe. But I'm more interested in Sweet Dreams. I hope I could find old Sweet Dreams books. I need a good, cheesy teenybopper love story to squirm to.

love it
The nice thing about blog-hopping is you get to discover new, nice and purdy things... like this song and music video by Ingrid Michaelson, The Way I Am
