Rain Rain Go Away

it's been raining for 3 straight days and things are already getting messy. Clothings that are washed but on the edge of becoming smelly because of no sunshine to dry them. That means a lot of trips to the laundry shop and the owners who are not really much concern of how your cloth may look like after are getting rich.. "not really rich but businesses like that are on the boom"...

and to top that all internet connections are not helping either. They get slower and slower "even if you subscribe for a higher speed". Well there is not much that I can do about it do I? sigh!

Sometimes I feel like kicking my laptop for a minute because of the internet but since its the fruit of my very first salary I wont haha.

anyway there is not much to blog today... hopefully the rain will go away...

The Fashion Icon

The first post she wrote that I read is about his two sons and their pictures. “Gosh her sons are cute” wink wink…

Anyway aside from being beautiful, being elegant on her choice of clothing and being body beautiful I like her SAREE’S really her choice is so beautiful.

She makes me wish I was born in that part of the world so I can wear that kind of clothing. Well some day… Hehe I will.

So you may want to ask what kind of award I’m giving to her, well I decided to make a real unique award something that is just hers, something that is not just a copy cat and something that is not just pass on from one blogger to another. 

I use the flower as an additional design because I was really so in love with her hand painted sari.  

It’s simple but I mean every letter on it…

Well I have more to say about how much I love her blog but I think I have to let you discover her and her blog…

I let you discover about her by clicking her blog

Running Away From The Rain

I thought i was running away from the rain here in the cold city of Baguio when In fact i was chasing it by going to manila.

Anyway let me talk about my trip, this is my very first time to take a de-lux bus to manila, Like a plane hahaha... not really but theres a rest room inside and there is no such thing as bus stop plus the one who will take your ticket is a beautiful girl in a stewardess attire. "no wonder there were just seven girls in the bus and all are men".

The only thing about this kind of bus is that they are too pricey... yes its like twice the normal bus price but its so comfy... I like the fact that you are really so comfortable inside.

Regular bus takes 6-7 hours but de-lux takes 4-5 hours mostly five hours.

Well I took that kind of bus to and from manila, right now I just arrive and I hate the fact that I need some massage, too tired from the round trip.

Anyway it was raining here in Baguio when I left and when I arrived it was still raining... ugh! why do I complain its like this all year round.

Wish Dress

Every girl have a wish on their wedding day. They wish that they will wear the gown of their choice. So last night I dream about getting married hahahaha ...

So maybe if i get married I want these kind of gowns...

The brides maid will wear (I know this is a traditional wedding dress as well but I still dream of this for my brides maid)

hehe dreaming wont hurt I think...

sigh....

Working Girls- Advice Please

Most of the lovely bloggers that I meet in here are working girls. I don't know if you have experience this kind of thing but just the other night I did help my sister rushed her research paper and I helped her.  I was thinking it's okay I can sleep in the morning so I helped her until 3 am.

Morning comes and I tried to sleep, my body is so weak tired and want to sleep but I just cant, I tried to relax my mind but I just cant help but wonder on my mind. My eyes are close but my mind is wide awake. I ended up having a terrible head ache.

any advice on what to do in times like this?

Falling in love with your Best friend

well hello people its been a long time since I post something about love in here. Not really my line (hahaha). Well i'm not really in love with my best friend because my best friend is married and have two young cute boys. His wife is my friend too so there is no way I will fall for him. (plus he is not really the guy i would fall for).

But just this morning I realize (while talking to him) that often times than not I always ask his opinion about the guy I'm dating. (I dont really listen) but often times than not he is right about the guy. and I will always blame him why you did not stop me from dating that idiot, then he will always say I tried you did not listen and the conversation will always end up with my line "you should have tried harder".

Well I dont know but I think he is right again this time and I really hate to admit it but once again I'm wrong and he is right. (ugh!) I think it takes a man to know a man.

well thats life.. cry for a night and move on tomorrow...there will always be a better man for me..

Warning or I'll Report you to google

how would you feel if during your blog hopping you found out that one blog copied one or two of your post and claimed it as HER own.

Just few hours ago I found out that one blogger copied my share your photo mate entries. I feel shame because I was supposed to keep them under copyright but I was thinking Do I need to?... I mean every blogger should have their own blogging ethics.

So please I know you are reading this and I know you visit my blog often because if not then how come you copied two entries word by word. at first I was thinking maybe these two people (who sent me their pics) sent you the same pics and that is something that is out of my hand. I would understand it but I check the people who follow you and I check the people you are following there is no way you know these people.

Write me an email if I am wrong. and I will update this but if I'm right please take those post down. I still have a sense of humanity so I wont post your URL here and give warning to other bloggers. and Please don't do it again... Some bloggers really spend time thinking on what post will they do and that includes me, have a little respect and think something on your own...

Dare I'm Willing To Take

Well It's really something I should not be doing but why not. It would be a dream come true to me if ever I'm going to accomplish this, it will for sure take months and years but It's something I really dream of doing even before.

so guys Have you heard of a so called travelling notebook, well to those who have never heard of it it involves a drive to the post office, to some people its just a walk or a run and it involves passing it on.

So I really need those who have time to drive to the post office to send this notebook.

The Rule is simple... If you receive this notebook kindly write something about anything on the notebook, then send me an email which will be written as well in the notebook stating that you received the notebook and I will reply with the address which you should send the notebook next.

Of course it involves money, time and efforts that is why I need those who really have time to do it "come one it's just once in a life time not all people have received a traveling notebook before"...

People from the Philippines are very much welcome I might send you the notebook first...

Please email me if you are interested at strawberrypostcard@hotmail.ph

Fat and Fabulous

who says fat people like me don't know anything about fashion? Well I do admit that slim and thin people can wear the dress better but it doesn't mean we cant wear it either.

While on my way home I pass through a store and they are on sale, of course fashionistas out there you must admit that when the store is on sale we try so hard to avoid it but often times we cant.

So i went inside and I was trying to try on this pink blouse "actually I have one like this before but I don't know where I put it, and I have yellow as well but I really like the pink one".

One thing that annoy me is the sales lady "for those who are in Baguio you might know the pink shop at session road (not the name but the paint) you can figure it out cause it's the only color pink shop in line with mercury, yellow cab and CID. anyway here is the conversation between me and the sales lady.

Me: miss wala ba kayong bigger size nito (dont you have a bigger size for this)

Sales Lady: wala po, yung nakadisplay lang po (we don't have the only available are those on display)

Me: oh okey

Sales Lady : at saka maam mataba po kayo, hindi po yan bagay sa inyo yung pong magganda at sexy ang bagay jan. (and besides ma'am you are fat, that only suits the sexy and beautiful)


I really feel so fucked up with her words so I was really so annoyed but i accept the fact that I am fat but I don't think I'm ugly either.

Me: what, are you really damn sure about that, so you really think I'm ugly.

Sales Lady:  Hindi naman maam kaso baka po kasi hindi ninyo kayang bilhin. (it's not that ma'am its just that you might not afford the prize)

I admit I'm not that rich not even close and 12USD for a blouse is pretty expensive for my standard but if I really want it I can buy it.

Me: really, where is your manager?

I did not wait for the answer and I went straight to the managers office.

Manager : Hello ma'an what can I do for you?

Me: Well I want to buy this blouse.

Manager: You can just pay it in the cashier.

Me: Well I know that, I want to give some donations too so you can send your employees for a good manners and right conduct seminar.

That was really harsh of me but I'm really so pissed. The manager was shocked as well and of course the rest is history. The sales lady got reprimanded, and i got the blouse for FREE...

so this is me wearing the blouse (FREE) and one thing is for sure free things really feels good on your skin.. hehe I really should have paid for the blouse but I tried twice and they did not accept, if the blouse is not really nice I wont take it but its the last blouse left.

ps: my sister is the worst photographer ever born

New Flip Flops

I post some choices before "the other day" here about flip flops and I think the last picture won. Well sad to say I was not able to buy that one because I find this one this morning while I was with my sister shopping for shoes.

I Feel like it was a mistake because I kindah don't like the color but the first thing that attracts me is the princess written on it. So I'm still loving it, the pink one has to wait for another month hehe...

My Reaction about the catholic church on divorce

Black - news
red - my reaction


That will legalize divorce in the Philippines.

Lipa (Batangas) Archbishop Ramon Arguelles called on the Filipino Catholic faithful not to follow the bad examples of “de-Christianizing" countries.

-I beg to disagree on this matter, because if ever divorced will be pass not all couple will file a divorce and divorce won’t be approved unless there is a reasonable ground for the divorce.

  “Other countries should follow our example of Catholic fidelity," Arguelles said in an article posted on the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines news site.

-     Again you are wrong, not all countries are catholic, the Philippines is not even a hundred percent catholic, are you not supposed to be educating the santo papa on this matter because it seems that he is not against it. Or maybe you should learn from the santo papa that the affair of the church is different from the affair of the state.

Butuan Bishop Juan De Dios Pueblos added House Bill 1799 may lead towards immorality in a society which begins at home.

-Wrong again, you are forcing people to be immoral by not passing the bill and I guess you might not know it but there are thousand of live in partners out there who chose to be just like that because they fear the they might not have a way out in case the partnership wont work in a long run. There are a lot more example but I wont go through all of them cause I might spend my whole life doing so.

Puerto Princesa (Palawan) Bishop Pedro Arigo pointed out that the scheduled hearings and deliberations will become a “waste of time and taxpayers’ money."

_well at least this time they got it right, its true that it’s just a waste of money but the thing that they did not get is the fact that they are the reason why the senate is wasting a lot of money for this, if they did not mingle with state affair this issue could have been over years ago.

Advocates of the bill in Congress noted that only the Philippines is left without a divorce law as Malta, also a Catholic country, has recently passed its own divorce law.

“There are more important issues to address," Arigo said.

-well arigo is also right in this matter, why don’t we talk about this catholic church who cant get over the fact that in this century the church is different from the state, that the church has a lot of dirt to clean from their own backyard.

-well I think I have to remember this people the next time I pay them to pray for the sins.

Sisterhood of the weibo bloggers

There are days in out life where in we feel so low and most of the time we give up on dreams that we have been molding for years. I admit I’m just one of those who just gave up when things gets tough.

There were moment where you feel like you are all left alone somewhere and you don’t know your way home. At some point or another I felt that way in weibo. First thing is I don’t know how to read Chinese and I don’t even know if someone or somebody will give a shit on what I’m saying or will say. “Thanks to Daniel he made everything possible for me”.

Just when I think it’s going to be a boring net explores it turn out to be even better; I meet people that I really have a real good conversation with. And to top it all I meet some weibo sisters.

It’s funny how you love some people without even seeing them in flesh and blood, how you turn out to be just like him/her.

So this post I’ll dedicated to all those sisters that I meet along the way, I felt like I meet my long lost sisters, we are divided by distance and ethnicity not to mention culture but we manage to break all the barriers and be sisters.

I just hope the sisterhood will grow… the more the merrier I believe so.

note: all pictures in here were sent to me with the owners full consent. 

I'm Moving On

It’s been a while since I last think I am in love, it’s been months since I last beg for love. Right now I think I was a little bit insane before to beg for love. I mean love can’t be begged, it can’t be forced and somehow it can’t be learned.

I was crazy to believe that I can teach someone to love me, with a certain effort to even change myself for him.

This time I think I’m ready to moved on, life has to take it’s course, it cant be constant or stagnant to certain degree that people have to live into its past. Where will I be if that person I love is already hundred miles away? I will be left alone in my past with a dream that will remain a dream for the rest of my life.

My Past will always be a part of me and there is nothing I can do about it, but my future is a part of my life that I can mold.

So starting today, it should be hello tomorrow and farewell to the past that I can never change.

This is strawberry and I’m moving on and to top it all I’m HAPPY…

Help Me Decide

I'm not really the kind of girl who have a lot of shoes, I seldom wear one. but I am the kind of girl who loves flip flops. I Have a lot of them and I really wear them almost everyday.

This kind of foot wear can go with almost any casual wear and I'm a jeans girl so most of the time it looks good in me.

anyway I want to buy another one and I don't want to buy 3 pairs so I want you guys to help me decide which one should I buy. or if you know any other design would you mind to provide me the link please...
