Hate Malaysia?


when I opened Twitter, the 2nd trending is HATE MALAYSIA!

Last night, my friend explained to me why some Indonesians have a hot blood to the Malaysians. But hello!!! As far as I know, it all started with some bickering among fans. 

first and foremost, Indonesia and Malaysia are countries that are near to each other. Both belonged to South East Asia. And both are friendly people. 

second, since both are SOuth East Asian countries, they should have just supported each other. If the main reason of the hot blood between these two countries is because of the soccer game, then hell with it! The losing team could have just accepted that the team played better than them!
I don’t get it why people are being immature about this. If you’ll open Twitter, the three in the top 5 trending topics are HATE MALAYSIA, #iloveIndonesia and Indonesians. 

hello! please people, just be friends with each other okay? go to the root of your ‘fight’ and solve this problem. There are much worse problems than this one. 

trend: LOVE MALAYSIA , #iloveIndonesia

I love both countries and I don’t take sides.

What's with the K-Pop groups?

Okay, so first, when Super Junior debuted as a 13 member group, the people thought that they won't be successful. Hello, they have the most number of members of all the groups in the WORLD! But after they worked hard, they gained themselves the ELFs, popularity, respect and a name for their group. They proved that Super Junior is not just a group but also  a Family.

Now, there is this new group named 20star. I have nothing to do with this group except that they're just too many! SuJu is originally 13, now 15 with Zhou Mi and Henry (Super Junior M), but 20Star has more or less 17 MEMBERS!

They're just too many? How will they divide their income with each other?
The more members you have, the lower the income of each member. The more members, the more income the managing company can get!
and if many members is not enough, how about th YOUNGEST groups?
I've heard of many people debuting in a group that are really young. But atleast they are not all young. Like Minzy, she debuted when she was more or less 15 years old. But the good thing here is there are people who are older than her who can help her keep up with Showbiz.
But hello! Managing companies started to debut young preteens.
Let me introduce to you GP Basic! These girls are only 14-15 years old! all of them! There's no one in their group who can maybe act as a really big sister to guide all of them.

But seriously, I just can accept GP Basic since they're already teens and time will come that they would be mature and more people will start to support them.
Whereas this next group, Girl Story, with the ages of 10-11!!!! GOSH!! >.<

What the heck? What type of songs are you suppose to let these kids sing? Cute, sweet songs? And hello, they can't wear sexy clothes and have sexy choreographies or songs with mature meanings like their sunbaes!!
What are some managing companies thinking?!

The rudest things that you can do inside a Church

  • Wear revealing clothes like mini skirt, halter tops, tubes, sleeveless/spaghettis- when we go to Church, we need to wear appropriate clothes like long pants, blouses or something that can cover parts of your body. If you want to wear sleeveless clothes, you need to layer it with maybe a cardigan or a shawl. 
  • Eat - except for eating the Host, we should not eat inside the Church. It's being disrespectful. 
  • Laugh really loud - there are times that we can't control our smiles/laughters. It's okay to laugh especially if the homily of the priest is kind of funny. But laughing too hard is just a no-no.
  • Sleep - why should you sleep in a Church? Does that mean that the word of the Lord is really that boring? Think of it. 
Whenever we go to Church, we go there for our Lord. We go there to listen to His Words. We are not there to party, to sleep or eat a hearty food.
Come to think of it. Can't we forget all the rudeness in the world when we're inside the Church?

My Surname :*


Kagay-anon by heart lang ako kasi yung roots ko hindi talaga from Cagayan de Oro. 
So bored ako kaya I Googles my mom and dad’s middle name and last name. Querol, Carpo, Sales at Vasallo. 
so yung name ko is Shaira Amerl Querol Vasallo Carpo-Sales. 
kung dito sa Philippines, the Carpo clan is mainly at Naga. Doon daw kasi maraming mga Carpo. I don’t know if reliable talaga pero most likely talaga. Pero sure talaga ako na hindi taga Cagayan de Oro ang Querol. 
Dito sa Mindanao, I think nasa Gingoog ang maraming mga Vasallo. Tong clan na to parang isa sa mga kilala na clans doon. Until now, Vasallo is still regarded with respect. Pero yung roots daw talaga ng mga Vasallo is Spanish … Peasant which also can be Vassal came from the word Vasallo. 
Itong Querol naman, I don’t know where. Pero as far as I know, it’s from here in Mindanao. Hindi ko lang alam kung saang place talaga. :))
Then Sales. Yung lolo ko came from Batangas. Doon talaga siya lumaki then we have relatives daw sa Batangas. Isa o dalawang block daw dun puro Sales ang mga nakatra. Ang amazing ata nun :)) well, I haven’t been at Batangas pa so hindi ko nakikilala ang mga relatives ko dun. 
So there :)) iba-iba pala yung mga whatsoever sa blood ko. it’s so amazing to know :D
pero basta, Kagay-anon ako :) dito ako sa Cagayan de Oro ipinanganak!! <3

Second Place: Essay Writing Contest

okay, so last October I joined this essay writing contest and luckily the judges like my entry and I qualified for the second round! <3
So sometime this December, we were called to again join the second and final round. Wow, I was really nervous about it since I don't know what the topic will be.
The topic for the final round was "I Believe ..." . Of course I don't know what to write. It took me 15 minutes to think of what "I Believe..." I should talk about. I settled for "I believe that the school should not have any sections named as Semi, honors and Gensec" (not the same statement but the same thought).
SO this morning, the winners and finalists were awarded.
This is my award as finalist. :))

And then the moment of truth came. All the finalists were already on stage and the top 4 will be announced. The 4th and 3rd place were already announced and I kinda lost hope., I even told my friends beside me that "We'll just stay in the corner and let them receive their awards".
Then suddenly, after some moments, the second place winner was announced. I was shocked when I heard my name. I WON!! :) yahoo !! <3
This is my award as a second placer. It's actually an envelope and inside it is P4,000 :))

Along with money prize is a medal <3

<3
I won! :))
Now I've proved to myself that I am really a writer at heart :))

MTV ASIA?!

Yeah, yeah, I know. What's with the face? >.< well, who wouldn't be annoyed? 
I logged on to MTV Asia's website. Well, my main reason was to search for Philippine Music. So I connected it to my facebok, blah,blah, blah!
Then I saw their search box. I first entered 'Christian Bautista' then hit go. The results turned out to be zero. I thought there was just something wrong so I searched again. Then there it goes again, no results. So I told myself that I think I should search for another singers. SO I tried Sarah Geronimo and Gary Valenciano. The same thing happened, no results again! WTH?!
So well, I searched now Super Junior, a korean boy band. When I hit go, there were many search results. Okay, so that's it? >.<
I know that OPM is not very popular in Asia compared to K-Pop but hello! Whenever I watch music videos at MTV (we have MTV China), what I always see are Japanese, Chinese and Korean songs. Hmph! Hello!!!!!!!!!! There are a wide variety of music genres here in SOUTH EAST ASIA too!

Jeepney Love Story




Jeepney Love Story
by: Yeng Constantino


Sumakay ako sa jeepney
Ikaw ang nakatabi
Di makapaniwala

Parang may hiwagang nadama
Nang tumama sa'yo
Ang aking mga mata

At nagsiksikan na
Dahil tumigil ang jeepney
Sa tapat ng eskuwela

Biglang nagkadikit
Puso ko'y biglang sumikip
At natulala

Sabi nila'y walang hiwaga
Kung wala'y
Ano itong nadarama

Ayoko nang pumara kahit san mapunta
Ayoko nang pumara kung ikaw ang kasama
Ayoko nang pumara

Ayoko nang pumara
Ayoko na ahhh
Ayoko nang pumara kahit san pa lumiko
Ayoko nang pumara sana di na huminto
Ayoko nang pumara
Ayoko nang pumara
Ayoko na
Kung ikaw ang kasama
(Adlib)

At may biglang sumingit
Natiempo pa sa'ting gitna
Sumimangot tuloy
Ang aking mukha

Mabuti nalang nagbayad yung ale
Sabi nya paabot naman
Nagkadahilan ako
Para ika'y tignan

Nung iaabot ang bayad
Kamay mo na palang nakaabang
Pambihira diba swerte ko naman

Sabi nila'y walang pag-ibig
Kung wala'y
Ba't kumakaba itong dibdib

Ayoko nang pumara kahit san mapunta
Ayoko nang pumara kung ikaw ang kasama
Ayoko nang pumara
Ayoko nang pumara
Ayoko na ahhh
Ayoko nang pumara kahit san pa lumiko
Ayoko nang pumara sana din a huminto
Ayoko nang pumara
Ayoko nang pumara
Ayoko na
Kung ikaw ang kasama

Manong driver
Wag mo nang ibalik ang sukli ko
Manong driver
Di mo ba alam walang babaan to
Drive lang po ng drive
Wag niyong hihinto
Kahit sa'n mapadpad
Kahit lumipad man tayo
Minsan lang madama
Ang ganito

Pero bigla mong
Hinila ang tali
Sabi mo
"Manong bababa ako sandali"

Ayoko nang pumara kahit san mapunta
Ayoko nang pumara kung ikaw ang kasama
Ayoko nang pumara
Ayoko nang pumara
Ayoko na ahhh
Ayoko nang pumara kahit san pa lumiko
Ayoko nang pumara sana din a huminto
Ayoko nang pumara
Ayoko nang pumara
Ayoko na

Ayoko nang pumara kahit san mapunta
Ayoko nang pumara kung ikaw ang kasama
Ayoko nang pumara
Ayoko nang pumara
Ayoko na ahhh
Ayoko nang pumara kahit san pa lumiko
Ayoko nang pumara sana din a huminto
Ayoko nang pumara
Ayoko nang pumara
Ayoko na
Kung ikaw ang kasama
(Adlib)

Okay, I so love this song :)) the first time I heard it, I remembered those days when I was riding in the same jeepney with my crush. I feel like I don't want to go down the jeep because I don't want to ruin the time that I'm with him. <3

Oh Yeah! :)

I'm planning to make a big change here in my blog. 
I used to write only about things about myself or my own opinions. :) Well, I kind of find now that it's not that me anymore, my posts I mean. SO starting today, I would be starting to post my fandom like music, books and shows. But still, I won't forget the main reason behind blogs, my own experiences. I'll continue to share to you about the happy moments and sad moments of my life :))

Mommy, I Miss You



Ugoy ng Duyan by Aiza Seguerra
Call me a cry baby but actually whenever I listen to this song, in radio or just my friends singing, I always want to cry. 
I never get to spend long time with my mother. When I was still a child, I only get to spend Saturday Mornings to Sunday Afternoons with her. That's only a day compared to six days that she's away from me. Every summer, I get to spend it with her at Bukidnon and seriously, I always loved it. 
When I was in Grade four, she went abroad. This meant that I only get to spend less than a month with her every eleven months. Up until now, she's still abroad and I miss her so much. 
I miss those times when we would celebrate the Christmas and New Year together. We actually have the same birthday and I miss blowing the candles with her. I miss everything about her.
Just a memory of her can actually make me cry. I hope I can bond with her. <3

How to Enjoy Philippines (For Foreigners)

tips from me for you to enjoy your stay here in my beloved country.


  • know how to speak English- this is really important since being in the Philippines means dealing with many dialects and languages. Even though there are many dialects, Filipinos know basic English which they can us to converse with foreigners. 
  • know basic Filipino - you don't need to know all the dialects in the Philippines (which is over a hundred). You just need to know the basic Filipino (National Language) like "Magandang Umaga" (Good Morning), "Magandan Araw" (Good Day" etc. 
  • know the culture- Philippines is a diverse country with different cultures in different places. when you want to go to a particular place, you need to know their culture. This is to avoid some unexpected things like insulting the people. 
  • MAP- a big yes for everyone who doesn't want to get lost in a crowd of people. 
  • loose coins- you'll need it, trust me. Especially if you wanna ride in a jeepney, buy street foods or buy anything in a sari-sari store. 
  • Big appetite- each place in the Philippines have their own delicacies, get ready to taste those. 
  • camera- who doesn't want tor record the memories? :) you also need this one to take pictures of different amazing sceneries like the Mt. Mayon, Taal Volcano, Rice Terraces, Chocolate Hills, etc. 
  • Long time- with over 7000 islands, you'll need a long time if you want to visit many places on the Philippines. 
  • and my final tip is this: ENJOY your trip!
So there :) I hope this could help you survive enjoy your trip here in the Philippines. :)
