Sudden Realization

Ok so here it goes, gonna brag first about the things I've been through yesterday. I've been sleeping and eating like a pig, and we've been to Eternal Gardens to off course visit my Mama and Nanay and Kuya Vincent. I've seen alot of people building tent house or whatsoever, some of them are eating, texting, even flirting, and chatting with their family cause' some of them consider all soul's day as a family reunion, kinda weird but I don't know, kinda hard to tell, and some of them even took a picture of them, and for my brother that was kinda morbid but for me?? naah! hell with it HAHA --- and then I found myself laughing loud enough to notice myself that there's a family mourning? cause' they're in the crematorium. And me? oh dear me! laughing like a devil cause' my daddy is hilarious. Then when we were planning to eat something for you know while me, my brother and my daddy talk with each other, we kinda took a step backwards because the price of the food that is actually sold inside the cemetery are really expensive 100% mark-up price and I thought to myself maybe the rent for their space is actually expensive so... hell with that again, we're hungry so can you blame us for saying some couple of nasty stuffs??.

Maybe you're currently asking what does with the sudden realization have to do with my blog for today? Well, I would like to tell you something while I was you know defecating -- I know it was something nasty again and unnecessary to tell you guys what I was doing during my realization, but you know what, maybe the greatest idea comes from very unexpected time, and I think there was no such thing as wrong timing when it comes to realization like this, or maybe defecating requires a lot of focus that's why here we go I got some worthwhile realization. I know it was a bit stupid and non-sense to you guys but here me out here puhlease! HAHA (this was my second haha on my blog by the way, and I'm counting it) 

Here we go, my sudden realization was off course about my life, and honestly I feel like God was with me all the way because of some twists and turns in my life that I actually don't know why I got in those kind of situation. But anyways, this was because, to come to think of it that I'm still on the BSA program was beyond my expectation, and I'm thankful for that, this is a realization because if me and Jinky haven't some kind of friendship before, then maybe I will not be in 2c and my path would be on some I don't know (can't even explain it) and probably I'll have to prepare my shifting form again. Things really do come from unexpected ways, I mean after all accounting is hard for me, so being in the program still is a really really big blessing for me. 

And here comes my second realization -- I know what you all probably think, it about my love life. So here is the thing, I'm member of CCP (christian community program) and I had found myself praying about my boyfriend, because I would not call it foolish or something, but I'm praying that please let him be the one. I'm praying for it because I can feel it you see, but weeks after that, me and my boyfriend were done, so EX would be a lot more appropriate term for that. Where is the realization in this one? Well I think, God said no to my prayers, maybe because I wasn't good enough for me, or he wasn't good enough for me, or maybe I was too good for him, I don't know actually but one thing for me is sure, we're not meant for each other. Well others might call this a bitter shi@#$ or something but for me, it was not at all, hell no. HAHA (third haha for my blog).  This was just about my realization while I was defecating.

Well that was it. That was my sudden realization, and I know this is too much focus for a defecating girl. But hell with it HAHA (fourth one!). All I can tell to you guys right now is "Every freaking thing happens for a reason". 

This is a long one --- 
Happy Blogging :) and Happy Halloween! ^__^

Running in Heels

Running in heels because when we were on our way to Farah's 18th birthday yesterday, I almost forgot my gift for her which was a shame if ever I did forgot all about it.. 

But anyway I did have fun, met some new friends, saw some of my ates' and kuyas' dance their way through the night -- what makes it even more fulfilling was that I feel like I was their photographer because they had use my camera phone to capture every smiling face they have. Although the party got some hired official photographer, but off course its a lot more different when you can pose freely in front of the camera right?? 


So what more can I say that night? besides that I feel like a girl  yesterday because I'm wearing a skirt and a heels? Oh yes, the food was great too, chinese cuisine is really tasty, that makes you wanna go for more --- Farah's 18th birthday was at Shangri-La Finest Chinese Cuisine, beside the Kowloon to be more specific. I've been there before as far as I could remember, the place was still the same after all.  

Honestly, I did have a long day yesterday, I was like can't take it anymore, I was about to give up with no valid reason at all just pure tiredness. I saw Ocha too, she was a good friend of mine,.. and she was like, what are you doing in here? and off course I said, I was just buying some stuff.. 

To wrap it all up, I would just like to say that I really really did had a good time yesterday,.. every worrying about farah's birthday was worth it --- 


Happy Blogging,.. :)

Chocolate on your forehead

What's with the title?? well last night was the night that I wasn't expecting at all. Far from my expectations actually. well its' done, all I can do right now was to laugh about it. 

Although I really can't remember all of the things that happened last night. All I can say is that I did have fun. Thanks to my girliefriends that had put something on my forehead that I wasn't aware of until today. HAHA

So for today I have to do something again --- its about the business proposal #again. Actually I'm done with the first one, but I'm currently working on my second one, so again wish me luck.

what a failure!

I know what I had said the other day to you guys... and shame on me, I'm not yet done with our business proposition. I will work on that today! I swear, all over her dead body. I'm already done summarizing some information so I'm good to go.

Since its' our semester break already, I'll be spending most of my time in front of the computer again, as what I had done last summer..

And because of that, I will also spend most of my time looking at our student portal to see my grades and I'm nervous honestly speaking, don't know what will happen to me.

I wasn't able to blog about anything yesterday cause' I had a bad cold that I'm already sneezing blood, and I'm serious with the blood thingy, so when I lay on the sofa last night, I fell asleep.. and I'm pretty tired too, because for 6 hours we've been waiting for our thesis, cause' it needs to be book bind. The bookbinding guys are having problems when it comes to time management that's why my blockmates and I have to endure their foolishness. and by the way waiting for 6 hours made me play some pranks on my blockmates, so at the end of the day I had found myself to be physically abused, honestly.

And after waiting for 6 hours at last the bookbinding guys are done with our thesis. I was like hey bookbinding guys can we take a picture of you.

So much for the school stuff. let's move on to what I will do for today,...

1.) work on our business proposition.
2.) watch season 5 episode 2 of gossip girl -- already done with this.
3.) prepare myself for our grades -- too nervous for this.
4.) text some friends for tonight  --- this is already given and I'm enjoying it HAHA

That's it, and I think my friends and I will have a closing party tomorrow specifically swimming, daddy doesn't know anything about this yet, but he will tonight so good luck to me on that.

Happy Blogging :)

Gonna work on something big ---

Missing for almost 5 months, here I am blogging again to tell you guys that my brother's girlfriend has a business proposition for me, I just don't know if I should share it with you guys, anyway this business requires a lot of words, thinking, time and research --- well I can handle all of it, its just that this thing came up with my school just a few hours ago... Well we'll have another exam on my major subject, which is I thought was over just about yesterday... 
This retake of examination requires my time (off course), knowledge on my subject (off course), and a bunch of worrying too --- I'll try to handle all of this things though. 

After watching the social network on HBO last night, I though to myself, maybe I should start blogging again on almost about everything like in twitter, only I can share my thoughts for more than 140 characters. And this idea of mine could probably work cause' I think it could eased my worries, stress and every word associated with negativity. That's why for today, I'll start my first blog entry about what will happen to me for today.. 


Wish me luck though, I had this 6 tasks to finish for today,.. 

1.) review for my business calculus final examination, its' about derivatives I think (HAHA)
2.) work on our feasibility study acknowledgement 
3.) type our take home quiz in computer, its' about HTML by the way 
4.) compose a happy birthday message for our dearest par Graziel A.K.A cheche -- the message must be long though "that's an order" directly from her.. 
5.) fix our the recently washed clothes --- that's tough  and lastly,
6.) the proposed business --- the details doesn't matter though

That's it, its' gonna be long a day for me.. Wish me luck guys. 


Happy Blogging :)

And so, here is my entry.

Why looked at the different direction when Nuffnang and Hapee could always give us extraordinary services. Well what I mean about this is that, talking about blog advertising. Nuffnang never failed to promote our local and extremely wonderful products to consumers worldwide, because we all know that almost all of us uses internet nowadays so Nuffnang got this wonderful idea of promoting products through blogging, even by that idea, I can really call it a first class. And now talking about family friendly wonderful product. Hapee never failed to give its consumers a strong and whiter teeth for years and still counting, with its cheap price that definitely suites everyone's budget. Hapee is also recommended by the Philippine Dental Association, imagine that kind of benefits in the price of one, definitely a first class.

      Dead Space 2

      Dead Space 2, another thrilling game for those of you out there who is thirsty for some awesome game.

      According to www.EA.com

      Engineer Isaac Clarke returns in Dead Space 2 for another blood-curdling adventure in the sequel to the critically acclaimed Dead Space.
      After waking from a coma on a massive space city known as "The Sprawl", the lone survivor of a horrific alien infestation finds himself confronting a catastrophic new nightmare. Battling dementia, hunted by the government, and haunted by visions of his dead girlfriend, Isaac will do whatever it takes to save himself and dominate the gruesome onslaught.
      With an arsenal of tools to dismember Necromorphs and new determination, an engineer will bring the terror to space.




      My brother had finished playing this game a month ago, and I should say that everytime he is playing Dead Space 2, he was like "shiiit", because honestly and seriously he is shocked and nervous at the same time because of the effects and sudden twist of the game. The animation and the story itself is really effective although the ending is quite predictable. But even though I haven't played the game at all, I will based the rating on my observation while my brother is playing it, I would give it a 3.5 out of 5.

      The other thing about the Dead Space 2 is the techniques used, because whenever the mission is you know to find or retrieve something. Some games makes it easier for the players to find it, but in Dead Space 2 it wasn't like that. This is a good thing though, because when fear and nervousness kicks in, it could affect the players, so the mission that was supposed to be easy becomes difficult, so nice one EA and Visceral Games.

      Here are some photos taken from the game:


      If you are questioning yourself what is the game that I should play that is worth some couple of bucks. The answer would be definitely Dead Space 2.

      Happy Gaming... :)

      library research paper

      During the 1st month of our 2nd semester, our professor in English wants us to write a library research paper for our final examination, she said it to us as early as possible so we could have some preparation for it . At first I thought library research paper is like a thesis and yet it's an individual work, so I got a little nervous, but when the things are explained to us by our professor, things lighten up a bit. I seriously didn't mind writing all those paragraphs about my chosen topic which is "blogging" but sometimes I hate researching for something.

      Days after our discussion about writing a library research paper, I am still curious or should I say confused on what to do, so now as I researched it through the net, I got this following information about writing a library research.  

      Library research is research you do from books. Go to a library, get out a selection of books on your research topic and read the relevant chapters. Then you put all that info into a research document and cite your references. But off course our professor allowed us to use the internet for reference cause' some of our selected topics are not found on some simple library.

      The following are the parts of a Library Research Paper :
      • Title page - should be capitalized, centralized and placed on the first line
      • Abstract - brief summary of the work itself.
      • Introduction - it contains the reasons why you chose that topic.
      • Literature Review - it shows the similar or the contradicting works to your topic.
      • Methodology - it presents the methods and materials used in your research.
      • Conclusion - points out the result or the outcome of the research
      • Bibliography - a list of the sources, which were used in the process of writing.

      As you could see, the parts of a library research paper is a bit same with a thesis, they also have some number of similarities like you still have to be specific when it comes to your topic, and everything in your report must be related to each other, because every details mentioned in your report must have something to do with the topic you have chosen so that the readers won't be confused.

      While the difference between a thesis and in an library research paper is that in thesis, you still have to conduct a survey and conclude something out of it while conducting a survey in library research paper depends on the author whether or not he wants people to interact with the outcome of his research.

      I hoped that you have learned something from the things I shared to you today.  And I also do hoped that I could finish our library research paper on time so that I could avoid cramming too much during our examination week.

      Happy researching. :)

      Biggest Mango I've ever seen in my Life

      Yesterday, my father back from his office bought me a piece of mango, when he showed it to me, I was shocked that I thought it was some green vegetable, then he said, it is mango. 

      In my amazement I quickly took a picture of it. 


      I know there are a lot of mangoes out there that is bigger than this, but common' it's a rare situation and I am a teenager whose never seen a huge mango like this. While I am writing this blog. I googled the biggest mango fruit. When the results showed up, I was more shocked cause' some are even bigger. I just wonder now if this huge mangoes are natural or it has a lot of chemicals in it. Because if you're gonna asked me, Mangoes are my favorite fruit that I could even eat 4 of them, well off course it depends on the sweetness of the mango.

      Back when I was still in my childhood age, this is the only fruit that I love, I don't even know what nutrients it has, but today I'm going to share to you the nutrients a mango have, and what are the health benefits that you could get if you eat a mango.

      Mangoes are wonderful source of vitamins A and C. It's average size can contain 40% of our daily needed fiber. Phenolic compound found in mangoes has been found to have a powerful antioxidant and anticancer properties. Because mangoes are high in iron, mangoes are good for those women who suffers from anemia. The anti-inflammatory properties of mango might help alleviate asthma symptoms.

      I  hoped these information that I have for you guys are enough to make you eat one mango today.

      Inaugural Exhibit of Pres. Noynoy Aquino

      Yesterday my family and I went to SM North to buy some stuffs. Along our way, I saw a tarpaulin that says there is an inaugural exhibit of Pres. Noynoy Aquino. And I was intrigue immediately of this exhibit of him, you know me, I'm an avid fan of exhibits, never fails to catch my attention, whatever it is, if it's an exhibit then you got me. 

      So when I got a chance to go to SM the Block as what it says on the tarpaulin. I immediately saw this huge pictures of the inaugural exhibit. It was a bit odd than what I expected because the exhibit itself is just small and simple, but maybe that's how the designer want it. I was about to go when I saw people looking at the pictures, then I said to myself maybe this exhibit is worth the effort. As I stepped in this gray carpet of the exhibit. I took this picture.


      Then when I looked around and found some interesting posters or pictures whatsoever, I also took a picture of it.




      The number of votes garnered by Benigno S. Aquino III in the 10 May 2010 elections, which won for him the seat of President of the Republic of the Philippines.

      after I took this photos, a lot of people starts to visit the exhibit as well, maybe they're curiosity strikes, or maybe I'm just a magnet for people whenever I visit some store or place.

      This exhibit is made in the commemoration of the 25th anniversary of EDSA revolution.

      Yogi Berry Frozen Yogurt

      Yesterday my brother treated me a cup of yogurt, you know as reward for something. I was grateful about it and all. And he brought me to this Yogi Berry Frozen Yogurt stall, this yogurt store was new to me obviously because I haven't seen this kind of logo before. 
      So after the amazement and all, I'm ready for my order. 



      Here's the catch,
      • It's a self service
      • You can put whatever toppings you want on your chosen yogurt flavor
      • The price depends on the weight of the yogurt. They charged 15 pesos/oz.
      • They have 4 yogurt flavors : Blueberry, Chocolate, Taro and Vanilla
      They got this amazing type of service for those who loves yogurt so much. But on the other hand the price of this yogurts never fails to be expensive, even on the other brands of yogurt but you know, as long as it's food, no matter how expensive it is, hell with it, they will buy it. I'm sure with that.

      All in all, the yogurt and the toppings taste good. But as a customer I prefer yogurt that actually taste like a yogurt nothing more nothing less. Because Yogi  Berry Frozen Yogurt offers different types of yogurt flavors, so in my opinion the taste of the yogurt itself is a bit lost for me. But anyway it was satisfying.
      I would like to say my gratitude to my brother and to my father for hanging out with me last night, I had fun.

      Yogi Berry Frozen Yogurt are available on the following malls here in the Philippines:
      • SM North, The Block
      • Greenbelt 1   
      Happy Eating.. :)

      PostCrossing is the Answer

      As I spend my valentines day in front of the computer. You know, check my facebook account, think of some appropriate topic to write about on my blog, this thing suddenly cross my mind and I said
      "Hey I wanted to receive a postcard." 
      I think this idea of mine came from my cousins who loves to collect postcards. 

      So the next problem that I encounter was, What site was it? The only solution that I can come up with was to asked the ever friendly google. After a few trials it never failed to give me an answer.

      I found this site called PostCrossing, the postcard crossing project.

      This is the site where you just have to register, complete the information needed, then you may now request for the address where you could send your postcard. The good thing about this is once you have sent a postcard to someone and they had confirmed that they'd received it. You can now also receive a postcard from a random person around the world. vice versa.

      1.  To be a member of the postcrossing, click the link provided above, and click the sign-up in the blue box located on the upper left corner of the site.
      2.  Fill up the necessary details especially the address. Then click the sign me up button.
      3. After signing in, you must also confirm your registration because the site won't allow you to get any addresses unless you confirmed the link they had sent you in your email account.After confirming your account, you may now set some information that would be seen by people who would send you a postcard, you can also describe what kind of postcard you'd like to receive.
      4. After the confirmation and editing of your profile, you may now start getting addresses of random people around the world. In getting their address you MUST ALSO copy the postcard ID provided whenever you will get a new address, and don't forget to include it in the postcards that you will send. Because the receiver of your postcard will have to confirm it to the site using the postcard ID, so that the site would know that you sent a postcard.
      5. After successfully sending one to five postcards, you may now also receive postcards.

      Using PostCrossing for me is another way in socializing to other people around the world. And PostCrossing can fulfill your excitement in receiving mails. Seriously.

      So as a new member of postcrossing. I would excitingly try this out. And hope that it will turn out well.
      Can't wait to meet new friends.  

      Happy PostCrossing :)

      What makes me LOUD....

      If someone asks me, what makes me loud? definitely I would think of something that makes me different on everyone else.

      The thing that I think makes me different on everyone else is that, I always don't follow rules when it comes to the things that I love.
                             For example, our teacher would asks us to make a some sort of collage for our art class. I would enthusiastically do it, but you know teachers always there to guide us all the way. So she told us how to do this and that. But that's the thing, her ideas doesn't always match with mine. I have my own techniques when it comes to craft, that's why I don't follow her ideas. So when the deadline comes for our collage. I passed it to my teacher proudly. And in the end my decision where right. Because she acknowledges loudly in front of my classmates, how good I was with our past art project. And she also asked me how did I do it, because she was amazed with the art that I had produced.
                             It feels so good for me that I proved that sometimes my teacher was wrong. That I could make something much better than what she thinks.

      That's what makes me loud. Doing things that I love with extra extra effort.

      And anyone will surely be louder with things when they use
      LOUD, the new scent from Tommy Hilfiger



      Everybody let's get loud!!...

      Descriptive Essay : My Own Wonderland by Veronica Flores ( EN-112)


      Descriptive Essay:  “My Own Wonderland”

                          Once upon a time there is a kingdom where everybody is united, where every creature is splendid in their unique form, where every tree bears the sweetest fruit that everybody would definitely love, where the weather, crazy it may seemed but it depends not on the season, but it depends on what the emotion the current leader has. The sun shines when he’s happy, thunderstorms arrives when he’s angry, it may suddenly rain if he’s sad, and the weather maybe warm enough if he felt love. But it changed when one creature defies the order of the king.

                          The kingdom once perfect is called Kingdom of United. It is ruled by the great King Siam Pu, who’s age is unknown, but from his fair skin, thick hair and deep eyes, you could tell that his a royalty capable of making the right things. He ruled his kingdom with his wife Queen Becky, with her small frame and with her enormous knowledge comparable to the goddess Athena helped her husband ruled their kingdom. King Siam Pu and Queen Becky bear a wonderful child named Princess Betchay, a beautiful girl who was born with a large heart, which is said to be a gift from their Gods for the purpose of still waiting to be unveiled.   

                           After 18 years of peaceful leadership. A royal ball had been order to celebrate Princess Betchay’s 18th Birthday; it is also a gathering to announce the next heir to the throne.  The trusted assistant of the king, Foxy Dog had been in the king services for 40 years making him the most trusted servant of King Siam Pu. Foxy Dog has a fury body and strength that is comparable to a Fox and yet he is a dog with an average body structure. By just one bark, he could manipulate things, except the royal family. Foxy Dog is also the one responsible in managing the royal ball the king had started. 

                         When the royal ball started, all the guest from the Kingdom of United arrived with their impressive attires as a respect to their king. The palace was filled with glittering lights, loud chatting, hungry guest and foods that you could only taste once in your life. When the Royal Family appears at the celebration with their attires sewn by the best dressmakers in their town. The crowd became silent. 

                          King Siam Pu, with chin up, announces his gratitude to all his fellowmen, asking the Gods for more blessings to arrived, and announces that his daughter’s birthday is also the same day to celebrate as her daughter will be the crowned princess. At first the crowd was silent with amazement, and then a huge round of applause arises as people celebrate the crowned princess. Everybody was enchantingly happy except the Foxy Dog.

                         After the royal ball, when everything is done, and everybody is starting to end their day with a goodnight sleep. Foxy Dog walks all his way alone to his headquarter at the palace, deeply thinking. When Foxy Dog arrives, some servant minding their business noticed that he was a bit quiet after the huge announcement.  Then a huge howls that shakes the ground was heard when Foxy Dog barks. All the servant was awaken by the loud howl. Then Foxy Dog said, “Are you all going to be satisfied when our new leader is a queen? And has no experience with what real life is?” The entire servant said no, then Foxy Dog said loudly, “Then this insanity must end. The king is not on his right foot when he made the announcement awhile ago. We must make a protest, if he does not agree with us, then we have to take the responsibility of creating a new and refined kingdom, and without a mercy, destroy this infested kingdom we now have.” The entire servant was quiet, shocked and thinking their brains out. They wonder at first, then the next thing, they chant a loud agreement on what the Foxy Dog had said. 

                            During the night, after the royal ball. They made their plans to protest, assigned who will do what. When everything planned is perfect. The sun started to rise, waking up all the people. Then at the front door of the palace, where it is still quiet. The protest started, every servant shouts the same thing repeatedly.  

      “WE DON’T WANT A QUEEN RULING THIS KINGDOM!!!”   

                           When the guards cannot handle the Protestants, the king showed up, with his pajamas still on.  Everyone went quiet again. Then the king asked, “Who started this protest?” The Foxy Dog went steps in front of the king. Then Foxy Dog said inches away from the face of the king “ME” The king was shocked at first then gathers his strength to talk.

       “Why are you doing this nonsense?”

      “Is ruling this kingdom, also nonsense to you my highness?”

       “What are you saying? That I am wrong with my judgment? That my daughter is incapable of ruling this kingdom? ”

      “Yes, you are wrong your highness. Your daughter will be no use in this kingdom. We are here to tell you our highness to reconsider your decision and pick another heir to the throne.”

      “I’m afraid; I can’t change the things that were supposed to happen.”

      “Then we have no choice, but to destroy this kingdom once loved before with all our hearts.”

      The king took a step backward and didn’t talk, instead command his guards to arrest all the Protestants. But they fail. All of them quickly disappear like a ghost including the Foxy Dog.

                           After the blood rising talk with the king. Foxy Dog and the servants found a little place, smaller than a rat’s house where they could hide and plan their violent destruction on the Kingdom of United. The Foxy Dog, gathers all the attention the servants. Then Foxy Dog said when all eyes are on him,” In order to build another kingdom and destroy everything that competes with it, we must have the money, gold, scrolls and resources. And in order to get that according to the good witch I met years before, we must open the heart of the chosen one. And there lies the key to a fortune all of the worlds were looking for” The entire servant were amazed again and wondering again and again.  Then Foxy Dog howls “You all fool, you didn’t get what I said. We have to open the heart of Princess Betchay, we have to open her heart so we could find the fortune every world wants and if we succeed. Kingdom of United will fall and a new kingdom will rise feeding the appetites of all people with the fortune we will have for eternity.”

                        The Foxy Dog and the servants started to plan again, this time with tactics and with their brains. When the sun starts to wave goodbye. The Foxy Dog was wondering’ alone on their camp, talking to his self about what’s going to happen the next day. “We have to capture her before the morning comes. I just hoped that no one would be along our way and destroy everything that we had planned today.” 

                       3 hours before the rising of the sun. The servants walked all their way to the palace which is still covered with fog because of the anxiousness the king had felt. They walk like a ninja without a noise, and everything was going according to plan.  

                      When the servants was steps away from the room of the princess. They got into the room as quietly as they can. There they found the princess, sleeping gently, covered with the finest silk to protect her from the coldness. As quick as a light, they carried the sleeping princess without a noise to their camp. When the morning slaps the face of the princess. She woke up tied to a wooden chair, with the room filled with filth and with a smell that could make you dizzy for days. She cried out if there’s anybody out there. When the servant outside her room heard it. He called Foxy Dog. As quickly as he could Foxy Dog immediately went into her room. Then Foxy Dog said to the princess.

      “Good Morning my little crowned princess”

      “Foxy Dog? What am I doing here? Where’s the king?”

      “I believed that your daddy won’t be here to save you my little crowned princess. You’re here because I believed you have something that I could use.”

      “You could use? Then what is that exactly, I would gladly give it to you.”

      “You would? Even if what I needed was your heart? I don’t think it would be that easy”
      “My heart? What for?”

      “I don’t need to explain everything to you. Not anymore”

      As the eyes of the princess starts to form a droplets of tears. The Foxy Dog raises his hand commanding his servant to get a knife.

       As the servant hands the rusty knife to Foxy Dog. The princess cries a little message to her parents, preparing herself to the next life.

      Then Foxy Dog said, “Don’t cry my little dear, this won’t hurt. It would only take a few seconds to end the life of the king’s precious big hearted daughter...”

      As the knife were inches away from the sweaty skin of the princess, an unknown guy with a mask covering his face that matches his dark outfit showed up and holds the hand of Foxy Dog. 

      “If I were you I wouldn’t kill her”

      “Who do you think you are?”

      “I don’t have to tell everything to you…”

                           As the unknown guy grabs the knife away from the hands of Foxy Dog. A servant kicked him in the back, but it doesn’t stop him, instead he kicked the servant back that was immediately on the floor. As the rest of the servant went against him. He kicked, punched, pushed; hit every one of them gracefully like a dancer who knows every step. When everybody was down. The unknown man turned his attention back to Foxy Dog who knees shakes like spaghetti. As the unknown man grabs Foxy Dog, he quickly tied him up to the chair next to the princess. 

                        After tying Foxy Dog to the chair, he quickly released Princess Betchay from the tight string that was tied on her. When she was released, she didn’t mind her mild bruises that she got. Instead she immediately asked the unknown guy what his name was.

      “It doesn’t matter, your safe now. Your father, my king will be here soon. Don’t forget to tell him what this guy tried to do to you.”

      “As you wish. I deeply give my gratitude to you young gentleman.”

      After a blink of an eye. The unknown guy was gone. The guards of the king saw the speechless princess sitting on the same chair since that morning.

                     Weeks later, after reviving from that traumatic experience the kingdom had encountered. The palace once again plan a royal ball, only this time, it would celebrate the return of the lost princess and her coronation as the new ruler of the Kingdom of United. 

                   Everybody was on their feet preparing the royal ball as the new servants were hired. The planning of royal ball were manage also by the new servant who told the king where Princess Betchay was held captive. 

                  At the night of the celebration, everybody is wearing a smile on their face as they saw their new queen looking splendid among the rest, going down the long stairs covered by a red carpet. The lights surrounding the palace that reflected on her soft skin make her more respectable and perfectly beautiful. 

                 After the Queen Betchay makes that strong entrance to the party. Minutes later, the guest started to talk again to each other, drink socially with their red wines, laugh intelligently with each other thoughts. When it’s already getting late and everybody starts to gather their coat, getting ready to leave the ball. Queen Betchay gathers all their attention. Then she said,

                 “I owe to the Gods, this second life they had given me. When I was a kid, I remember a poor kid approaching me and point a finger to my heart and said to me that, this will be the answer, that I should give it freely. When I did try to give it to my abductors, I thought that I fulfilled my destiny, but I was wrong. What the poor girl really means is that: My love for my fellowmen is the answer to the storm that this kingdom had encountered. Whenever this storm arrives, I should give my love to you all freely. That’s why as appointed by my father King Siam Pu. I Queen Betchay stand before you today and accepted the responsibility of being the queen of this Kingdom for the better brighter tomorrow.”
                           As the queen ended her speech, some cried with tears of joy while others chant for gladness and honor to their new Queen Betchay.
