Finally! My Mini DVD Player, courtesy of Ate Yannah

Ever since we bought a flat screen Smart TV, the old one got transferred to me and my sister Loury's room, I've been pestering my oldest sis, Ate Yannah to buy me a dvd player so I can watch anime and all my other favorite tv series until 2am! Hahaha, no, I mean... I can watch anime and my favorite tv series more comfortably. :) hmm... that's better.

Wednesday morning , I woke up with a really nice surprise! There it was, in a Super8 shopping bag, my new  Mini DVD Player! Just like what I told her I wanted. I didn't want the normal sized player, cause I wanted to save space and besides, this is cheaper.

Read more after the jump!

Look, its really cheap right? Less than $30.

I really appreciate this coz I know she's saving up a lot coz she's getting married next year. I know you might think this is not much of an expense, but she could do to save all the money she can.

Below are the contents of the box.

The best thing I love about this thing is it comes with a karaoke! hahaha! I know its not smart because it disturbs the neighbors, but I'll use it very occasionally ,I swear! Besides, I dont have a mic.

The remote.

Here is how it looks like. Its about nine by six inches, if I'm not mistaken.

The front.It has a USB port too. How convenient is that?!

Well, that's it sweetums!

Remember to always be thankful to those people who give you stuff. Especially when they do it out of love. Never ever forget it!

Thanks for visiting!

Smile and be kind to everyone! :)

11.11.11

November 11, 2011 is a pretty special day for everybody. I'm sure everybody had their own celebrations, whether its with family, friends, officemates and lovers.

As for me, I spent it with my friends pigging-out at one of the nearest restaurants in our university, which is Mang Inasal. Mang Inasal is famous for their delicious grilled chicken and unlimited rice meals, it means, you can buy a meal and have as many rice as you can. Earlier that day, they were having a promo that when you are a group of 11 people, every meal will be worth only Php11.00  (about $0.27 or $0.30). Haha, that's a great deal if you ask me. The hard thing is to find eleven people to go and avail their promo.

Well, by the time we went there it was around 8:30 in the evening so most of our other friends have already gone home coz most of them have morning to afternoon classes. So we were planning to just drag a few more strangers who are willing so we could complete our number. We were six so we only needed five more people. But, unfortunately, no such luck for us 'cause it was Friday night and everybody has gone somewhere else to spend their evening.

So, the six of us went there and as usual it was jam-packed, we were lucky there was a recently vacated table when we came in. And because the place was full, we waited a a long to time for our orders to be served. Before and after pictures are down below.

Janine (R) and her lil sis Alena (L)

My best girl Ida! <3

Nicole, she was strangely quiet throughtout the evening, but I guess it was bcoz of our nonstop teasing. hahaha LOL

Lindsay, as always, goofing around. hahaha XD

This is 20 minutes after we ordered. Look at our faces! HAHAHA

30 minutes. Alright, that's it, we were so hungry we decided to eat each other. lol

Right after the above picture was taken, our food was finally served.

See, after our stomachs were finally filled, we were all smiles! :D

"Say, who downed four cups of rice! She doesn't get fat no matter how many she eats. Curse you, 'Say! jk.

Ida, gesturing "Down" to the food! hahaha!

Most of us only manged to eat two cups of rice except for our winning contender Lindsay with Nicole coming to a close second with 3 and a half cups. Hahaha!

It was a fun night all in all. I hope we get to spend time like this more often with a few more friends.

And oh! I almost forgot, 11.11.11 is exactly one month until my birthday! Time flies fast! I cant believe I'll be nineteen in  a month! Soooooo, you guys knows what this means! Gifts!!! hahaha!! Soon, I'll be creating a post about  my wishlist  so you better check it out and start saving money! hahahaha!!

Ja, matta ne! (^_^)/"

Tusok-tusok with my Best Girl!

The date was November 10, Friday, 4:00 in the afternoon. It was a fine day, really. Second day of classes and there's no professors around. So my best girl and I went to settle a few things (subject requirements). The day couldn't have been more perfect, I mean, the sun was up but it wasn't so hot that you'd sweat like a pig, my make-up was perfect ( I was wearing the one I call "Crowned Princess"), my hair didn't tangle despite the humidity and best of all, I'm spending the afternoon with my best friend!  :)

So, we went by this "tusok-tusok", a street vendor selling finger foods like kwek-kwek/tokneneng, hotdog, fishball, chiken balls etc. Anyway, its a classic Filipino snack. Here are some pictures.

First round: kwek-kwek with sweet and spicy sauce and vinegar.

Manong Tindero, I tell you, he's not so good in math when computing our  total bill. :)

Second Round: assortment of the rest from the menu.

Well, it was really yummy. And its from a trusted store beside Snax. And to down it all, we bought fruitshakes from another vendor across the street.

Mine was melon flavored and Ida's was peach.

After that, I ditched class and went home because I know for sure I'd be wasting my time waiting for a professor that wouldn't come. Hey, time is precious!
And Ida went back to school coz she has class.

There you have it! A perfect afternoon spent with my best girl! :>

Lesson Learned

I just had this debate with my friend about "Harry Potter promotes satanic witchcraft". Naturally, Im in the Con. I was so angry at everything she's saying. We insulted each other, . . . okay, I insulted her,( I'm a bitch,what can I say?) But hey, it was a very intelligent debate, the insults were subtle. Anyway, we were arguing and strongly justifying our points.And then suddenly, I felt a tugging in my heart. Its like a little voice in the back my head is saying: "Stop.This is not worth sacrificing your friendship!". I felt tired afterwards, the debate made me so tired that I had to eat a second dinner! :p

So , I apologized to her. And she did the same. :) I was so relieved coz I thought that really was the end of our friendship. I mean, we're not that close but still, it hurts to lose a friend no matter how deep or not your relationship with each other is. And I realized, I acted like a big hypocrite! Of all people's traits,the one thing I hate the most is hypocrisy. All the more, to think that one of the things Harry Potter wants to teach its readers is friendship!I felt like I betrayed Harry! ( TT_TT )

So, I am going to share this Harry Potter quote to you guys and let this experience be a lesson to us all.

 "It takes a great deal of bravery to stand up to our enemies, but a great deal more to stand up to our friends." 

~Albus Dumbledore

in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone 

Know The Bitch That Runs This Blog!!!

Alryt, its one in the morning and my friends' bullying to make a blog of my own finally got to me. Meaning they won in persuading me. I already posted a previous post coz i was trying out how this site works since this is my very first. Well, if u checked it out, the post is a poem I made from a request made by my dear friend "Garfield". (-^.^-) I know that its a 'lil sad, no, im sorry, it IS sad, but poems comes from the deepest contents of our hearts.(Say what??! hahaha ) And it is certain that I'll be posting the rest of the poems I have made in the past (dating back to my pubescent years) which would mostly be about love,dreams and friendships but mostly about love:) So be sure to checkout my blog when I post them.

Here, I am named "TheBanshee". Well, banshees, in Irish mythology,are fairy-like creatures who wails/weeps to forewarn a member of ancient Irish families about the time of their deaths. technically they are messengers of death. They are usually in the form of young women with long hair and long, flowing dresses. well they are generally considered dark creatures but I find them really fascinating. In my mind they are beautiful young women, loyal to the families they serve and shed tears of crystals when they weep. And "spookybanshee" has been a code name I used since my early high school days and now I am using it for my blog. This also explains why my blog is titled "Broken Words of Unspoken Screams". I think I got this from a poem or a story I made about a banshee.

Anyway,this post is about knowing me so here goes.

hmm.. wait ,where do I start? Okay.

Well,for starters I am the kind of person who  loves her family above all else ,treasures her friends, has a sharp tongue, very direct, straight-forward and a little hurtfully honest when voicing opinions about others. In spite of this though, I am a very friendly person who smiles to strangers and readily talks to people I barely know. Most of my friends describe me as ,they say and I qoute: "someone with oozing self-esteem" LOL XD .Well, they got that right.:) They also say I have a strong demeanor which sometimes is the reason why people think Im a bit boyish.Which I think is pretty unfair considering my strong on-going love affair with makeups. (yes, I am CRAZY about makeups!!!) hmm,,what else? Well I am a very cheerful person,sometimes too cheerful for my own good, and has a very positive attitude.

One of my ideals in life is "Live in the moment". Savor every minute of it and never worry about tomorrow. There is also this quote from Harry Potter and the Philosopher Stone that I love (btw, Im a die-hard HP fan!! LOL) : 

"What will come,will come.And you just have to face it when it did." ~Rubeus Hagrid

 . . . and I say,face it like a warrior!!! HAHAHA :)


And Oh!! I am super crazy about Anime and Manga!!! I mean,I would not be who I am without it! :p I also love mostly everything Japanese. I find their culture fascinating,their food, language, festivals and traditions, music, etc.
Besides my love for reading and writing literary stuff, i can also sketch thoughIthink taht talent of mine is slowly fading because of lack of practice. Dang! I am getting rusty.


So, I think that would be all for now. Oh! before i forget,i mentioned i love makeups right? well, i would like to include links to those makeup artists i am subscribed in youtube coz i think they are really amazing and i just like to share it with you guys coz they're a big help to me.they're really really awesome!! Maybe some of you already know them but for those who dont, here's the link:
