Johnny Depp is now SINGLE!

Hear, hear! Yes, Johnny Depp, one of the hottest actors in Hollywood, is now single!

Johnny Depp and his partner, French singer and actress Vanessa Paradis, have called it quits after 14 years. Depp started dating Paradis in 1998 after he broke up with Kate Moss. The two had met while Depp was filming Roman Polanski's 1999 film The Ninth Gate.
"Johnny Depp and Vanessa Paradis have amicably separated. Please respect their privacy and the privacy of their children." said Robin Baum, Depp's publicist.
The couple have two children and have homes in France, LA, and on an island in the Caribbean. They never married.

I know, i know! Every fan is vying to get his attention. LOL (include me on that list!) *wink wink* HAHA But please, don't misunderstand me on this post. I am sorry that their relationship has to come to an end, but I am happy all the same 'coz at least they're on good terms. =) Good luck to your love life, Mr. Depp! May you never lose hope in finding endless love.

I Am A Book-lover

I had my Literature class today, and my teacher, Mrs. Samson, asked the class to make a poem by filling in words after the first two that she gave in the handouts. It was like this:


I Am Poem

I am (two special characteristics you have).
I wonder (something you are actually curious about).
I hear (an imaginary sound).
I see (an imaginary sight).
I want (an actual desire).
I am (the first line of the poem repeated).


I pretend (something you actually pretend to do).
I feel ( a feeling about something imaginary).
I touch (an imaginary touch).
I worry (something that really bothers you).
I cry (something that makes you very sad).
I am (the first line of the poem repeated).


I understand (something you know is true).
I say (something you believe in).
I dream (something you actually dream about).
I try (something you really make an effort about).
I hope (something you actually hope for).
I am (the first line of the poem repeated).




And here's how I did it. 


I Am A Book-lover

I am a shy and a curious book-lover.
I wonder why some people don't read from cover to cover.
I hear the crispy sound of turning pages.
I see the big drops of rain as the heaven rages.
I want to travel whenever, where ever.
I am a shy and a curious book-lover. 

I pretend to be one of the characters in a book.
I feel happy when I'm in my favorite nook.
I touch the soft satin pretty ladies wear in balls.
I worry when a protagonist falls.
I cry when a beloved character is gone forever.
I am a shy and a curious book-lover. 

I understand not everyone loves books.
I say you can't judge anyone by his/her looks.
I dream to meet famous authors someday.
I try to reach my goals in any way.
I hope to read books forever and ever.
I am a shy and a curious book-lover.

What do you think? I know there are lines that don't really make sense or aren't really connected with the main thought, but I really couldn't find any words that'll rhyme with the last word before/after that line. HAHA Besides, I was working with time pressure and all. *alibis* LOL

So, if you were my teacher, how would you rate my poem? Praises and criticisms are welcome. =) Would you care to share (or link back) your "I Am Poem"? Happy Wednesday, everyone!

P.S. Miami HEAT won game 4 on NBA Finals '12! lol oh yeah, oh yeah! GO HEAT! *going nuts*

Eazy Fashion : Your Wholesale and Retail Fashion Shop


Eazy Fashion is an online shopping site that caters fashionistas who love stylish and posh products. The site offers affordable high-end fashion accessories and apparel that you'll surely love. 

The company first started out as an online shop in Multiply in March 15, 2011. But the growing demand for fashion accessories from Korea and Japan triggered its expansion and establishment of its own corporate office.

Eazy Fashion aims to be an affordable supplier of posh fashion products. The people behind this company also wish to help Filipinos start their own business by letting them post the company's product photos to be posted on their own online shopping sites. These people can be called the "company's resellers" without the need of a capital. Now, isn't that just great? To know more on how to become one of their resellers, you can simply click here.

I came across this kawaii website a few days ago, and i just LOVE their kawaii items. They got lots of categories. Aside from their fashion accessories and apparels, they also have other products ranging from shoes, cosmetics/makeup, organizer bags, DIY phone cases and materials, gadget accessories for your Samsung SII, iPad and iPhone!  Cool, eh?

Here are some of the items that i fancy.
Frosted Victorian Drop necklace
Juicy Couture Floral Ring set
Braided Preppy Wristwatch
Sassy Girl Casual Dress
Cute right? I especially like the preppy watch since it's really cute, and i think it'll go well with any casual outfit. I haven't bought any of their items yet, but i'll surely be buying from them one of these days. ^_^ And I just can't wait for that day to come! HAHA 

Find out more about this awesome website by visiting www.eazyfashion.com or by simply clicking HERE!
Have fun and enjoy shopping! :)

I am in no way paid nor compensated by Eazy Fashion for making this post or promoting their products. All opinions are mine. I posted this because of the fact that I love this shopping website/company.

new term

A new school term will start next week, and my friends and i are still not enrolled. We can't proceed with the enrollment 'til our BizCom teacher (whom i mentioned in this post) submits our grades via the school's online database! I'm pretty sure i passed coz im confident that my scores for the major requirement (letters: 85/100; mock interview: 98/100) would pull the "fair" scores i got for the pre-final seatworks. LOL i just wish she'd hurry so that I won't miss the good schedules being offered. :/

and oh, did i mention that THAT teacher scheduled an appointment with us on a Saturday before the summer classes ended?! She told us that she'd meet us from 9am-12am but she showed up late in the afternoon, around 5:30pm; it was actually getting dark and we were afraid she wouldn't show up at all! ugh! how professional?!

duh! im just glad im done and over with her subject. my friends and i definitely won't enroll under her on our next BizCom class.

summer classes

i'm currently taking 3 courses (Simplified Cost Accounting, Principles of Marketing, and BC21) for my degree this summer; and it's what's been keeping me so busy these past few weeks, especially my BizCom21 or Business Communications class. i've learned a great deal in that class -- how to correctly and properly write an application/cover letter and how to make a resume/CV, and how to write all types of business letters.

but dang, our teacher's the worst! she's been giving the whole class (mine's in the afternoon) and my friends's class (morning schedule) a really hard time on the project that she gave us. it's frustrating, really. i hate the way she makes us repeat the letter and/or resume just because we lack  2 spacebars before the zipcode (it has to be three spaces) and not telling us what are the other mistakes we made. how should we know that it has to be typewritten like that? she didn't even tell us all the proper spacing until we submitted the required papers. and so, after submitting the paper (with 3 spacebars before the zipcode!), she would then give it back to us coz she won't accept those whose references don't have telephone numbers! she absolutely won't take those with mobile numbers alone! and the list goes on and on! UGH! and she makes us wait outside the faculty room for like, more or less, 4 hours only to tell us that she won't accept our papers!!!! how's that for the time we spent editing and waiting?!

but anyway, im still enjoying my summer with friends and classmates and with boyfie! teehee! they're the best stress relievers, including my uber cute nieces and nephew at home :)

TRIVIA:  Summers in the Philippines start from April and end on May. Regular school terms start on June and end on March. ^_^

Best regards,
deLai

International Giveaway: Win Skin79 Vital Orange BB Cream! [CLOSED]


Vanity No Apologies is a Beauty & Fashion Blog that I've been following since last year. She has great, helpful reviews of products that i'm also interested into. Her honest opinions made me subscribe to her posts via email. And today, she's having an international giveaway for her avid readers and followers. She has previously reviewed the Skin79 Vital Orange BB Cream. You can find more about it in her post here. She also made some swatches in that post, and the results are just the way BB creams should work. I haven't tried this product yet, so i might as well join her giveaway, right? Why don't you join in, too? Afterall, it's free and is open internationally. ^_^

Simply click HERE to join the giveaway.

i'm back!

yes, i'm back!


I had been debating with myself (for as long as i can remember) whether to post things on my blog again or not YET. haha I've missed blogging so much. I've been so busy with some other stuff, especially in school.

I didn't really leave the blogging world though. I've managed to join in various giveaways and won some (e-books). It's what made me go back to blogging. I've read so many books that I wanted to make reviews, even though i haven't tried making one EVER. How do you make a book review, btw? Any tips?

I've also been addicted to twitter in the past few months, and almost everyone i follow and following me are bloggers, some are authors. And almost everyone of them tweet their posts with links that lead back to their blogs/sites. So there, it made me miss my own blog. And OLA! I'M BACK! :))

I won't be able to post daily though, but i'll really try my very best.
Good luck to me! lol

hugs and smooches,
aldelei89
