FILLED OF THINGS THAT WERE DONE IN FIRST 100 DAYS IN DENMARK (DAY 73)

DAY 73 – July 30, 2009

Every month, there’s a certain day that I hate being a woman. So I searched a top list of reasons why woman hate themselves. I don’t agree in all of these but some are really fun and true. Enjoy reading!

10 reasons why I hate being a woman:

1) I am so sick of my period! One-third of every month is negatively affected by my period. I am either sick from cramps, bloated beyond belief, on it, finishing it, too emotional, not emotional at all, or just simply not myself. The right months are worse than the left ones. Ortho, Depo and the others do nothing to help.

2) I hate make-up. I went to work today without make-up (I feel like crap already) and the first thing I hear when I sit down is a co-worker saying "I see you woke up late this morning, you should put your face on before anyone else sees you like that"... WTF, this is my face... it is a cute face... I like it just the way it is. Why do I have to put on a show for everyone around me, hell some of the guys here don't even shave before coming to work... they wear the same tired clothes every week... so why do I need to bother?

3) I have to be a slave to fashion. Same as the make-up situation, god forbid if I wear my most comfortable pants to work, or an out of style outfit that I personally like. Why do I have to spend a couple thousand dollars a year on clothes and accessories, why do all of my friends want to shop all of the time. This is a sickness, and I am sick of it. I wish I could dress like a guy, in the same suit I bought in 1999 and the same tie that I have worn every week for the past three years. That would be nice!

4) My bra has never fit me right! Why can't I find a bra that fits me perfectly? One that is slightly adjustable to compensate for my ever changing body? With the right cup just slightly larger than the left cup, one that provides just the right amount of support. Is this too much to ask, retailers have put significant effort into the feminine hygiene realm, perhaps they could divert some of their R&D monies away from moisture lock technologies and into making the perfect bra. If only I was a little smaller, then I could go without.

5) I hate the following terms: Pussy, Slit, Cooche, Cunt, Snatch, Cooter, Beaver, Hole, Muff, Twat, and Clam... I also hate Titties, Boobies, Funbags, Melons and any other idiotic name people come up with for my body parts. I have a vagina and breasts or tits. Easy as that. Can you say Vagina? I hope so.

6) Double standards: Men get away with murder in the business world. Women are held to a much higher degree of scrutiny and to a much higher standard than men. When men talk they are networking, when women talk we are gossiping... when men make mistakes they are risk takers, when women make mistakes we are incompetent, when men argue they are debating, when women argue we are being catty. You get the idea. I am just as smart, if not smarter than most of my coworkers, but I will always get stuck behind a guy with 'ambition and drive', especially when I spend a good portion of my month focusing on my insides (see #1).

7) Sex is different for women. Men take great pride in bedding women, as many and as often as possible. If a woman expresses her sexuality she is a whore, tramp or slut. Rightly so sometimes... there is no female equivalent to the blow job, a blow job is a power trip for the guy... I am on my knees in front of him or with my head around his waist in some fashion, pleasuring him until he finishes, then it is up to me to clean up while he basks in the satisfaction. If he goes down on me, it is a different experience, there is no power exchange, he is still in a powerful position (legs apart is always vulnerable) and he is still happy to see my vagina. The picture alone is worth ten minutes of licking on his part. Don't even get me started on penetration...

8) My yearly gyno appointment. enough said, I wish I could just turn my head and cough, just once!

9) The bathroom! Ok, I am not going to talk about the cleanliness of bathrooms and the hygiene habits of women, that has been covered ad nauseum on this board. I am going to say that I wish I could be a little neater when I pee, I can't stand that first dribble that tends to go somewhere other than in the bowl if I am not sitting. The squat pee (which I have to do given the state of the restrooms in some places) is never neat for me. No need for graphic details here.

10) My mother and all other women who feel that I am breaking the social contract by not having children. I have enough issues with my girly parts already, I can't imagine what having a child would do to me. I also don't feel like bringing new babies into the current world, so don't tell me that I should. Don't say that I should 'start looking for a husband' because I am getting older... why don't you tell the guys, 'better get serious about a family, your time is ticking'...

DAY 72 – July 29, 2009

WHY DO I PRAY AND FAST?

1. To ask for forgiveness.
2. To thank Him.
3. To help me to get away on my situation.
4. To ask for guidance in my plans (studying and traveling)
5. To ask for everyday strength, love, comfort, good health and knowledge in this foreign land.


Now, do I have enough reason to pray and fast?

Why I am in doubt?

1. I commit sin very early in the morning.
2. I don’t have prayer life when I got here, I don’t go to church regularly and I don’t have a ministry. It’s a shame!
3. I indulge myself to him.
4. I did my own plan.
5. I lean on my own strength and understanding


However He reminded me with His word:

You guide me with your counsel,
and afterward you will take me into glory. (Psalm 72:24)

Psalm 112:8 (New International Version)
8 His heart is secure, he will have no fear;
in the end he will look in triumph on his foes.

1. His heart is secure, he will have no fear; —Turn my heart on!
---Security comes when you trust your whole heart, mind and soul to God. I remember the alarm system that we have here in the house. At first, I was hesitant to turn it on cos I might do it wrong or I might forgot that I turned it on and just enter the door without turning it on or sometimes I forgot to bring the alarm with me and just left the house. And it is a disaster! But when I gained my confidence to this alarm and put in my mind that it will help when I am not at home or when I am alone at night. It just came out naturally, I am turning it on every time that I am going out or at night and turn it off when I don’t need it. I have to turn my heart on to God, without any hesitation or fear and trust Him that He will help me day and night. I always said to myself, I am giving all my heart to Him, because sometime I don’t know what to do or I don’t know what will happen. And I will confess it over and over again.

Giving up your self means you are secure.

2. …in the end he will look in triumph on his foes.
---Well, everything has a reward. God always keep His promise with a reward. You will succeed and He will enjoy the fruit of your labor. Most importantly, you will have your victory on your foes (i.e. fears, doubts, hesitations, impossibilities, failures etc.).

VICTORS MORE THAN CONQUERORS!

TEARS IN THE BOTTLE
(Psalm 56:8)

You put Your hand in my face
Waiting my tears to drop
And then I’ll feel Your embrace
But never let go every tear drop

You place my tears in Your bottle
Keep it precious on your sight
Valued and loved as jewel
But for me, it is my guiding light

Half full, half empty
My journey is not end
Filling it slowly by slowly
Bitter sweet but it needs to attend

Whenever I cry out You hear me
Never let me go instead You carry me
Every time You fill it with my tears
It tells me to move on without fears.

DAY 68 – July 25, 2009

I woke up with deep pain and sadness; I felt that I lost another friend. The feeling is frustrating; I know my fault, again my failure. I let my heart decide and not my mind. This is the second time and I felt that I didn’t learn my lesson. I opened my heart and mind and let him interfere with my life. At first, I am hesitant but I trust his words and now, who’s to blame? No one but me. I hope I am learning with this experience. I just want to go through with this by myself without any help of anyone. And for a moment, I will never ever any person to interfere with my personal life. I am done with it and I’m tired with it. So deadly tired!

Change Your Mind

. . . repent, turn to God, and do works befitting repentance. —Acts 26:20

One of my favorite Peanuts comic strips features Charlie Brown saying to Snoopy, “I hear you’re writing a book on theology. I hope you have a good title.” Snoopy responds, “I have the perfect title: Has It Ever Occurred To You That You Might Be Wrong?”

Snoopy’s title reminds us that our understanding of God and what He requires of us is sometimes twisted. Because our wrong beliefs lead to wrong behavior, we need to “repent, turn to God, and do works befitting repentance” (Acts 26:20).

The Greek word translated “repent” is metanoeo, which means “change your mind.” As Paul indicated, repentance does not mean just nodding in polite agreement with God, and continuing the same way we were going. When we turn our thoughts toward God—when we truly agree with Him about what is right—our behavior will follow. Like a car, we go in the direction we are pointed. So, when we truly turn our minds and hearts toward God, our actions change accordingly.

Instead of going happily along, assuming that our choices are right, we need to regularly stop and ask ourselves Snoopy’s question. As Paul taught, it is only when we are willing to admit being wrong that we can be certain of being right with God. — Julie Ackerman Link

We must acknowledge when we’re wrong,
Confessing it as sin,
If we would know God’s power to heal
And cleanse us from within. —Fasick

Either we conform our desires to the truth or we conform the truth to our desires. —Os Guinness

DAY 66 – July 23, 3009

The Greatest Pain

The greatest pain in life is not to die, but to be ignored.
To lose the person you love so much to another who doesn't care at all.
To have someone you care so about so much throw a party...
and not tell you about it.
When your favorite person on earth neglects to invite you to his graduation.
To have people think that you don't care.

The greatest pain in life, is not to die, but to be forgotten.
To be left in the dust after another's great achievement.
To never get a call from a friend, just saying "hi".
When you show someone your innermost thoughts and they laugh in your face.
For friends to always be too busy to console you when you need someone to lift your spirits.
When it seems like the only person who cares about you, is you.

Life is full of pain, but does it ever get better?
Will people ever care about each other, and make time for those who are in need?
Each of us has a part to play in this great show we call life.
Each of us has a duty to mankind to tell our friends we love them.
If you do not care about your friends you will not be punished.
You will simply be ignored... forgotten... as you have done to others.

This poem was written by a young girl who committed suicide.
Perhaps if the people surrounding her had shown a little more
love, and had paid more attention to her, her death could have been prevented.
Remember that when going through life, you can't judge a sad, lonely, or
suicidal person by their facial expression. You need to get to know
each person you come in contact with, cherish your friendship with them, and
show them that you care.

Have you ever find out what you want in this life? What you want to do? And what God really design you as a human being?

I experienced to be work in the office, with boss, officemates and deadlines. I also experienced being a student, with professors, classmates and exam. And I am now at home, doing my chores.

As I went to Waterfront Mall, I saw Regus! And I miss working in the office. I feel that I am born to work in the office and I am born to gain knowledge in the school. Yes, I am learning what a woman should know and I need this in my life but now I know what I want to do in life.

DAY 63 – July 20, 2009

I went to the indoor swimming pool today. It is located at Adolphvej, Gentofte. Kildeskovshallen was designed by the architect couple Karen and Arne Clemmensen and built in the period 1966-1972. It is different to other indoor swimming pools as it was built from high-quality materials, coupled with the fact that it also boasts works of art built into the construction. For example, there is a gigantic geometric abstract painting in the colours blue, white and red in the outdoor paddling pool. At the time it was built, the swimming pool was considered a very hi-tech building. Kildeskovshallen has therefore been assessed as having architectural value and today it is a listed building.

I had fun playing with the kids, though, I don’t understand them.



MORAL LESSON: On the next level.

It’s a restful weekend!

I just stayed in the house the whole Sunday. Maybe I really want to take time to rest and be a couch potato again. But I did an interesting thing while I am relaxing. I searched and looked for budget travel in Sweden, Amsterdam and Paris, which I was not disappointed. Sometimes I think that I should change my career into travel agent.

I found an interesting buddy for budget travel and that’s the city card. Buy a city card and you will have free access to the museums, public transportation and discounts for some attractions.

In a normal travel in Malmo, you can spend at least 500 Krone for one-day trip. But if you have the city card, you can actually spend 300 krone only. That’s quite a discount and really a budget. Since, Malmo is really near in Copenhagen and can actually travel for 35 mins and can enjoy the place for one day. I decided to visit the place and try the city card this coming August. This will be my first out-of-the-country experience aside form Denmark and I am really thrilled about it!

Lazy day! In tagalog: Nagpakatamad ngayong araw!

Nag-promise ako na magpapakatamad ako ngayong araw na ito. It means walang gagawin kung hindi umupo..maginternet at manood ng tv. Yun nga nangyari! Naginternet…Kinausap si Lei at peachy..nanood at kumain…Pero hindi siguro nakatiis si Jessica kaya nag-aya kina Apple para dun magdinner.

After umuwi ng bahay, ngkaramdam ako ng pgkabagot…oo..biglang nabored…naisip na meron akong pasta at dapat kong ilagay un sa ref..nakakita ako ng corn, green peas, ham at bacon..hmmmm…biglang gumana ang malikot na utak ko. Sinubukan ko ang isang bagay na hindi ko pa nagagawa..ang magluto..Taaaraann….ilang minuto para akong contestant sa Hell’s Kitchen or Top Chef at bigla kong hiniwakan ang sandok at ang kawali.

Inspired by Chef Ramsay sa Hell’s Kitchen. Nagluto ako ng pasta with bacon, ham, corn and green peas. Inuuna ko muna un noodles..ininit ko un noodles na natira kahapon. Tapos niluto ang bacon at ham sa olive oil hanggang magmantika. Sumunod, nilagay ang corn at green peas. Sabay na inaalis ang tubig sa noodles at naghahalo ng ham at bacon. Para talaga akong sinisigawan ni Chef Ramsay at dapat hindi mabagal at focus. At naririnig ang mga linyang “Get that fuckin’ dish here!”. Huli, sinama un noodles sa ham and bacon para halo sa noodles ang lasa ng bacon at ham..Un ang sabi ni Chef Ramsey, kung gusto ng mas malasang noodles…

Well, nakain ko naman at masarap. Binigyan ko din si Jessica para kung ano man mangyari may karamay ako. Ito ang pinakauna kong luto ng pasta. And I am proud of myself.

Dahil sa nagpakatamad ako kaninang umaga, ngayong gabi naramdaman kong nagging active ang katawan ko at ngayos ako ng bahay at ng mga labahin..whew!

FROM THE TOP TEN of CHICO GARCIA

http://chicogarcia.wordpress.com/

One of the easiest to bungle up is responding to “I love you”, especially if the feeling is not mutual. I remember being with someone I didn’t love (besides I was young then and infinitely immature), and I didn’t want to lie, so I found 101 ways to avoid saying “I love you too”. I was told “I love you” so many times, but like the cad that I was, I thwarted each attempt with some lame change-of-topic or whatever. If you’re wondering what I was doing being in a relationship with someone I didn’t love, I have two words for you: peer pressure.

November 21, 2008 → The Top Ten Worst Things To Say After Someone Tells You, “I Love You…” – SC

5. Professional Heckler – “Asus…straight daw!”
6. Racer – “Nag-away nanaman kayo ng girlfriend mo noh?”

11. Baffledginger – “Adik!”
12. Professional Heckler – “Sige nga, kung totoo, pengeng load…”
13. PJ – “Patay tayo diyan…”
14. Hanazawa Rui – “Anong aylabyu aylabyu ka diyan? Tuwad!”
15. Krispy Kreme – “Tapos ano? Magsasawa ka? Makakakita ka ng iba? Iiiwan mo ko? Hayup ka! Taksil!”
16. Justin – “The feeling isn’t mutual, bitch!”
17. Paige – “No you don’t.”

3. City Hall – Sight-seeing busses leave from the Lure Players Statue and just beside is the City Hall square. The appearance of the city hall is dominated by its impressive front, the golden statue of Absalon just above the balcony and the tall, slim tower with a clock. The city hall tower is at 105.6 metres one of the tallest buildings in Copenhagen.

In addition to the tower clock, the City Hall houses Jens Olsen's World Clock.

We’ve been here, about 3 times, but we didn’t know that it is the City Hall and it is the City Hall square and of course the name of the statue. Thanks to this map!

4. Nytorv Square and the Court Building --- is a square adjacent to Gammeltorv in the middle of the pedestrian Strøget in central Copenhagen. Until 1905 the Copenhagen City Hall was located at Nytorv.

5. Kompagnistræde (Company Street) --- A pedestrian street lined with intriguing shops

6. Gammel Strands – marks the medieval coastline. Across the canal you can find a good view of: Thorvaldsen’s Museum, Palace Chapel, Christiansborg (Danish Parliament) and Old Stock Exchange.

7. Christiansborg (Danish Parliament) --- The palace is thus the house of Denmark's three supreme powers: the executive power, the legislative power, and the judicial power. It is the only building in the world which is the home of all a nation's three supreme powers. Christiansborg Palace is owned by the Danish state, and is run by the Palaces and Properties Agency.

8. Hojbro Square --- overlooked by Copenhagen’s founder, Bishop Absalon

9. Stroget – one of the Europe’s longest shopping streets. Literally "the stroke”, is a carfree zone in Copenhagen, Denmark. This popular tourist attraction in the centre of town is the longest pedestrian shopping area in Europe and the largest shopping district in Scandinavia.

10. Kongens Nytorv --- (King's New Square) is a square in central Copenhagen at one end of Strøget. It is Majestic Square encircled by stately mansions.

11. Royal Danish Theater –(Danish: Det Kongelige Teater) is both the national Danish performing arts institution and a name used to refer to its old purpose-built venue from 1874 located on Kongens Nytorv in Copenhagen.

12. Nyhavn Port – with its quaint old houses, lots of bar and restaurant along the port and yatch with different sizes and look.

13. Royal Danish Playhouse -- (Danish: Skuespilhuset) is a theatre building for the Royal Danish Theatre, situated on the harbour front in the Frederiksstaden neighbourhood of central Copenhagen, Denmark. It was created as a purpose-built venue for dramatic theatre, supplementing the theatre's old venue from 1874 on Kongens Nytorv and the 2004 Copenhagen Opera House, which are used for ballet and opera.

14. Amalienborg Palace and royal residence --- is the winter home of the Danish royal family, and is located in Copenhagen, Denmark. It consists of four identical classicizing palace façades with rococo interiors around an octagonal courtyard (Amalienborg Slotsplads); in the center of the square is a monumental equestrian statue of Amalienborg's founder, King Frederik V. Changing of the guard every noon.

15. Opera House – From the Amalienborg Palace, you can see the opera house across the sea. It is the national opera house of Denmark, and among the most modern opera houses in the world. It is also one of the most expensive opera houses ever built with construction costs well over 500 million U.S. dollars. It is located on the island of Holmen in the center of Copenhagen.

16. Marble Church --- or Frederik's Church, has the largest church dome in Scandinavia with a span of 31m. The dome rests on 12 columns. The inspiration was probably St. Peter's Basilica in Rome.

17. Danish Museum of Art and Design --- It features works of famous Danish designers like Arne Jacobsen, Jacob Jensen and Kaare Klint, who was one of the two architects who remodeled the former Frederiks Hospital (built 1752–57) into a museum in the 1920s.

The Copenhagen City Council are planning to move the statue to Shanghai for the duration of the Expo 2010 (from May to October).

20. The Citadel – an exceptional well-preserved fortress.

21. Nyboder – 17^th century naval houses. The main reason for this step was the increasing need of housing for enlisted men of the Royal Dano-Norwegian Navy and their families.

Priority of enlisted personnel was stopped in 2006 and the apartments are now not only a tourist attraction but also seen as upscale accommodation among people living in Copenhagen.

22. King’s Garden -- The Rosenborg Castle Garden is the country's oldest royal garden and was embellished in the Renaissance style by Christian IV shortly before the construction of the main castle. Today, the gardens are a popular retreat in the centre of Copenhagen, and attract an estimated 2.5 million visitors every year. Next to the castle are barracks where the Royal Life Guards is garrisoned. The Life Guard guards the castle.

23. Rosenborg Castle and the Crown Jewel --- It is a renaissance castle located in the centre of Copenhagen, Denmark. The castle was originally built as a country summerhouse in 1606 and is an example of Christian IV's many architectural projects. It was built in the Dutch Renaissance style, typical of Danish buildings during this period, and has been expanded several times, finally evolving into its present condition by the year 1624.

24. Round Tower --- It is a 17th century tower located in Copenhagen, Denmark. The tower is part of the Trinitatis complex, which was built to provide the scholars of the time with an astronomical observatory, a student church and a university library.
