My Purple Sanctuary

My Purple Sanctuary http://imaimee16.multiply.com/ Everything should be remembered, both the joys and the sorrows. These are our armors against the battles that life will make us face because from these, we are made strong. Nothing forgotten.

Didn't think they'd give me one but I'm definitely mistaken! When I was busy working (or browsing multiply, can't remember, haha!) I felt a tap on my shoulder and when I turned, they sang Happy Birthday holding a purple cake (ube flavor)! Yey! and they also gave me a pillow saying "World's Sexiest Woman" Haha! They really know how to make my day! =D So, thanks to Aysa, Angge, Jeremie, Maia, Mapet, and Brim for a very wonderful birthday surprise! Syempre late ko na napost yung pics. Hehe! Thanks again to Ronan for taking these http://imaimee16.multiply.com/photos/album/68/Birthday_Surprise_from_my_Web_Analytics_Family Fri, 2 May 2008 03:53:22 -0000 Google's Birthday Present Google decided to suddenly update its algorithm and it was named Dewey Update (don't ask me why it's named such as I have no idea). Coincidentally, it updated a wekk before my birthday and so Google accidentally gave me a birthday present - a Page Rank of 3 for both <a href="http://orientalsanctuary.blogspot.com/">this blog</a> and my <a href="http://www.anime-aimee.com/">anime blog</a>. I know Page Rank seems to have lost its authority and credibility as believed so by many internet marketers and expert website administrators but for novices like myself, having a Page Rank still means a lot. A Page Rank of 3 may just be a piece of cake for expert bloggers but the fact that I did nothing to market or link build my blog, but I still received a PR 3 makes it very uplifting. I must be getting a number of link loves from people ( I know I have my websites linked in the blogs/websites of my <a href="http://usautoparts.com.ph/">USAP family</a>), so many thanks to you guys! *Insert hug here* My birthday this year's really full of wonderful surprises! <a href="http://us.i1.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/mesg/emoticons7/4.gif"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 20px; height: 20px;" src="http://us.i1.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/mesg/emoticons7/4.gif" alt="" border="0" /></a> http://imaimee16.multiply.com/journal/item/55/Googles_Birthday_Present Fri, 2 May 2008 02:50:00 -0000 Anime Aimee | Anime Blog of One Anime Lover http://imaimee16.multiply.com/links/item/2/Anime_Aimee_Anime_Blog_of_One_Anime_Lover Fri, 2 May 2008 01:55:41 -0000 Oriental Sanctuary | Living Life in Perfect Purple http://imaimee16.multiply.com/links/item/1/Oriental_Sanctuary_Living_Life_in_Perfect_Purple Fri, 2 May 2008 01:54:39 -0000 The Sweetest Birthday Surprises I've never been surprised on my birthday in the 21 years that I've been in this world. I've been surprised with gifts that I didn't think I'd be getting, yes, but not been given a surprise birthday party, yet. Okay, let me cut the introduction and get to the bottom of this! My friends from the office decided to make my birthday extra special and they went out of their way to surprise me a day before my birthday (read: they planned the surprise together with my family and boyfriend)! There! Haha! What really made it extra special was the fact that they surprised me at our house. I didn't expect them to go all the way to our home sweet home and I was expecting that they'd do it in our office and on my real birthday (Haha expecting! Feelingera! Cause it has already become our tradition to surprise our friends on their birthday). So imagine my surprise when Mike and I got back from running an errand for my Mum and they suddenly appeared singing Happy Birthday and holding a cake (read: froz... http://imaimee16.multiply.com/journal/item/54/The_Sweetest_Birthday_Surprises Wed, 30 Apr 2008 02:14:00 -0000 My Very Surprising 22nd Birthday! =) SURPRISE! =) AWWWWW...! Heheh! April 28, 2008 - A day before my birthday and Mike and I were supposed to go out to celebrate my birthday. Mum was preparing a somewhat-festive lunch when I woke up and she said that it's for her friends na darating for lunch sa bahay. When Mike arrived, Mum asked me to buy softdrinks so ayun pumunta pkme ni Mike sa 7/11 para bumili. When I got back, sabi ko sa Mum ko we'll go ahead na but then, HAPPY BIRTHDAY! There, standing before me were my sweetest and most thoughtful friends - Sarah, Anna, Maje, Zac, Ico, and Ronan singing happy birthday and holding a cake! Hahahah! Nanigas ako for a good 10 seconds kasi I was really surprised! I didn't expect na gagawin nila ang surprise sa bahay at kakuntsaba nila ang lahat! Si Mike, Mum, Dad, and my brother, Ced! Heheh! Grabe! Pinagplanuhan tlga nila to ah! haha! Sobrang wala akong idea sa surprise na to!! Ang galing nila haha!

Hehe). But yeah, I kind of miss my copywriting days here at <a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://www.usautoparts.com.ph/">USAP</a>. At that time, I felt like I was stitching together beautiful words to produce creativity out of something as plain and as dull as say a catalytic converter or oxygen sensor. These car parts are among the hundred automotive parts that I needed to carefully understand in order to come up with readable and, if I'm lucky, interesting articles for online visitors to take notice of. It was difficult, really, as I needed to write something I never knew before existed in car parts! Hehe! But even though that what was I felt most of the time, writing these articles gave me a sense of satisfaction and self-esteem as it juiced out the creativity and writing skill in me. After all, writing was and still is my passion (though it may not be obvious =P) no matter what I write about. But passion'... http://imaimee16.multiply.com/journal/item/53/Missing_Creativity_Though_Not_Regretting Fri, 25 Apr 2008 15:01:00 -0000 My Birthday, Burpday, Beyday, Beerday! =D http://imaimee16.multiply.com/calendar/item/10006/My_Birthday_Burpday_Beyday_Beerday_D Tue, 22 Apr 2008 09:41:44 -0000 These Purple Stuffs, I Want! It must be very obvious by now that I like, no, I'm in love with the color purple (or any purplish color); in fact, I think it has become my number one obsession. I started liking it on my first year in high school but I don't remember anything special as to why I started liking it at that time. So, let's not go into history. I just feel like purple radiates an aura of happiness that looking at it makes me happy. And for that, I've come to consider it as my Happy Color Pill. Well anyway, in my quest to see everything in my world with a touch of purple, I've decorated and <a href="http://orientalsanctuary.blogspot.com/2007/09/my-purple-haven.html">painted my room purple</a>, as I've <a href="http://orientalsanctuary.blogspot.com/2007/09/my-purple-haven.html">posted here before</a>. But even though my room is already literally purple , it still doesn't satisfy my craving to see more and own more purple stuff. So, when I've come to know "The Secret" or aka the "Law of Attraction," I immediately wanted to create a wallpaper or a collage of some sort of all the purple stuff that I want (and attract them to me. Bwahahahah!). I asked a friend of mine t... http://imaimee16.multiply.com/journal/item/52/These_Purple_Stuffs_I_Want Thu, 17 Apr 2008 01:28:00 -0000 Mum's Victory Party!

I'll respond with something random about you. 2. I'll tell you what song/movie reminds me of you. 3. I'll pick a flavor of jello to wrestle you in. 4. I'll say something that only makes sense to you and me. 5. I'll tell you my first/clearest memory of you. 6. I'll tell you what animal you remind me of. 7. I'll ask you something that I've always wondered about you. 8. If I do this for you, you must post this on your journal. Anna K's right - this is contagious. Hehe!

If in the past years we go out of town to do our annual Visita Iglesia, we decided to stay home this year, perhaps to stay away from places crowded with people. I hate to admit that I almost forgot the reason why I (or most of us for that matter) was granted with this 5-day long holiday if not for our seafood fiesta. It served to remind me that meat is not allowed while celebrating the Holy Week. So, while others were busy going to churches praying and doing other religious practices, forgive us for indulging ourselves in seafood and other yummy treats (hey! We did stay away from meat. hehe!). So let me begin sharing my Yummy Holy Week Experience. On Thursday morning, I woke up with the smell of choco.. oh wait. No, that's not what happened. I actually woke up in an empty house as my thoughtful family decided to go out without me and without leavng a note telling me where they've gone to. But they did leave s... http://imaimee16.multiply.com/journal/item/47/Yummy_Holy_Week_Experience Mon, 24 Mar 2008 15:58:00 -0000 Survey galing friendster 1.

Doing this, I hope to deal with the complicated and disturbing situation I've gotten myself into once and for all. Dear ..., Some friend you are. In my dire need, I've dared to ask for your help, your comfort, your caring gestures, only to have a door shut at my face. I asked for your help in the hope that you'll show me the same comfort and friendship I've bestowed upon you when you once found yourself in a dark time of your life. I never asked for your friendship. You came offering it with your own free will. What I only did was what anyone would naturally do - accepted it. Little did I know that accepting it would only bring me to this situation that I never expected of being into. This is all new to me. Perhaps it's the reason why I came close to mistaking it for another thing, one which I dread. But it's a good thing a good friend lent me a listening ear and this issue has finally been cleared.

This blog is where I'm free to say whatever I want, I don't care if I'd be judged by visitors who chanced upon this blog or by constant readers, if there are any. One officemate said, or rather wrote, that we have our own flaws, and mine is my short temper. But I do not blow my top off now and go psycho like before. I just remain calm. Or maybe I still explode but only to my boyfriend at times. But I'm learning to control it now. Give me time and I'll learn to master temper/anger management. In the meantime, pray and leave me be to my ranting. I shall use this blog as my escape and rant all I want. You've been warned. I'm hating someone right now. I mean I'm really hating someone right now and that person doesn't know it. Of course, why would I let that person know it? If I start pouring my anger and all my emotions out to that person, we'll end up enemies for life. Don't get me wrong, that person is my friend, a good friend actually. What I hate is how that person is ... http://imaimee16.multiply.com/journal/item/42/Escape Wed, 5 Mar 2008 07:14:00 -0000 Getting Back to the Old Habit ... of blogging, that is. I had to deal with learning the essentials of Web Analytics and working as one too that I've had no spare time to blog anymore. But that doesn't mean I'm not a blogger anymore! I may have left my work as a blogger but I'm still in love with it, in love with writing in general. Time may not be of my luxury right now but soon I know I'll have it wrapped around my finger! (Insert evil laugh here. Hehe) Anyway, it's the end of February and what better way to celebrate it than to be a little nostalgic and reminisce all the laughs and great times that February gave me, right? So, here they are, my February Memoirs: * I Started as a Junior Web Analytics Specialist * Got the increase that I want! Woohoo!
