birthday blessing

>>>>>>>>>o_O_o<<<<<<<<<

Oh..the last time i blogged was the 1st of this month...and we're going midway now...

Well...many things happened but i just want to share the most important things that occurred.

19th BIRTHDAY

Well, i didn't actually had a plan of celebrating my birthday that's why I decided to join my organization (Economics Society) for an outreach program at Shepherd of the Hills Children Foundation at Camp 7, Baguio City.

The children over there were either orphans or the ones whom their parents are unable to raise anymore. This is a safe and nice place for them.

This project was a joint project of EconSoc and ISIP (Integrated Students in Psychology). We brought some food and played some games to make the most out of this event.












And after that tiring but memorable experience, we went to McDo and had some Sundaes and Fries... It was indeed a day worth remembering.


Before the day ended, my mom and my brother had a surprise visit for me. We went out that night and watched the fireworks display at SM. Then my mom cooked some food for me and my friends at my boarding house as a post-birthday celebration..

So so nice!

December forever!!!!

>>>>>>>>>
First day of December…the month I love the most.
Along the this month’s influx are the events that I’ve been waiting for and wishing to be celebrated with nothing but pure excitement and fun. Among these occasions are:


THE OPENING OF THE CHRISTMAS SEASON IN THE SCHOOL
December 3 [tentative date]
(signaled by the lighting ceremony and a short program early in the night at the Oblation grounds)


THE PASIKLABAN in U.P. BAGUIO, or simply PASIK
December 18
(the program that starts from a school parade which turns out to be a Session Road and the city district invasion; the anticipated OBLATION RUN; fireworks display night; teacher’s performance – where most of our professors perform like you’ve never seen them before; banda performances all night; and party like there’s no tomorrow! Well, words wouldn’t really be enough.)


MY BIRTHDAY!
December 12

(Hmmm…. I just love the date. But I’m at the point where I’m starting to hate myself from growing older. Yeah, I know it’s inevitable but I think I just don’t feel like my age. I’m turning 19 and there’s still so much to do, so much to learn, so much to try, so much to keep an eye on. I’m too old for parties nevertheless I’m not game on having one either. I just want to relax. Totally. I want to go home but I guess my schedule in school won’t give even a ray of light for this. So it would be enough for me granted this day would be free from any kind of worries – academic or whatsoever. I simply want this day to be happy.)

SIMBANG GABI
December 16-24
(Unfortunately since I’ve been to college, I wasn’t able to complete the simbang gabi anymore - primarily because during these times, sleep late at night because of tons of schoolwork given to us. Plus the fact that it’s so, so cold here in Baguio during this month, given that masses are held at dawn. But now, I will try to rise from my bend and see if I can complete it again this year.)


CHRISTMAS DAY!
December 25
(One of the happiest days of the year – the birthday of Jesus. Well, iba ang Pasko sa Pilipinas eh. Noong bata pa kami, of course, mas marami pang handa kasi we still had relatively less expenses by those times. Eh ngayon, 3 kaming nasa college tapos Grade VI yung bunso. But we still keep our best in celebrating this day with a brighter attitude year after year. We’re just happy with the fact that we are always complete during this day. And that is one thing to be thankful about.)


I’m sure that this would be a busy month for a junior like me as well. Maraming requirements na tatapusin before the Christmas break. But I hope I can manage myself good enough. Kaya kailangang magsipag. Kailangan ding magtipid kasi time for gift-giving (though it’s not the value of the gift that would matter, it would still be the thought of giving).

Sana, di na lang matapos ang month na ‘to. Well, just praying that this month will be filled with joy. Naturally, di mawawala ang pressure in the things that we are doing but I hope that the outcomes would compensate the hard work and every bead of sweat sacrificed on those things. And looking forward to a better new year ahead.

Sembreak officially started!

The bus I took yesterday began it's trip by 12:30pm. After my Econ 141 exam, i packed my things and off i went. On the bus, I met Ate Joy, a 4th year psychology student at PUP, and we began chatting the whole trip. And I bet you she's so nice, inside and out. We even exchanged numbers.

After saying goodbye, I stepped down and went directly to our terminal where my brother fetched me.

I arrived home by 5:20pm (my brother stayed at the park to buy something, he said) and saw my dad at the back of the house.

I slept peacefully for the first time after this semester.

I woke up (or rose, rather) past 9am... took sopas as my breakfast, then read Veronica Decides to Die by Paulo Coelho (which I bought a few months ago, hope i could also watch the film version of it!), ate lunch, read, slept, read again, helped my mom with the laundry stuff, ate dinner then used the Internet by past 11pm.

Woah..

this is what i missed!

Life without rules (much rules i mean...)...

Hope my break would just be fine....

and not over before i knew it!

I'm just starting to have fun!

Great!

Papa Phone...

I just remember, it was just yesterday that i was talking to some people here at the College of Social Sciences' Dean's Office (Ms. Thea, Ate Lean, Manang Jen) about mobile phones and about our relatives who text and forgets to text us. I was just sharing that my dad don't have a phone since he's just staying at home.




And just a few moments ago (around 11am today), I received a message from my Mom telling me to text my Dad because he got a new phone. Haha...

I already texted him. Kaso di pa nagrereply eh.
I think I have to wait more minutes. He doesn't like texting much. He prefers calls. Rich!


PS:
It's good to be back.
I've been very busy due to loads of school works (exams, papers, reporting, duty).
Hope you all continue visiting my page. Thanks!

home at last...

It's a nice feeling that i was able to go home here at Tarlac after almost 3months of stay at Baguio City. Right after my class yesterday morning, Ate Mia and I went to SM to buy some stuff. When i reached my boarding house, i ate my lunch and began to pack my things...and i was ready to go.

The bad thing was that the rain began to pour really (as in really) hard after i was outside. And i cannot go back. So i was extreamly soaked when i reached Victory Liner. I bought a ticket by 2:40pm and the bus got moving 5mins later.

Nakakapagod ang byahe. As usual. Tapos for 4 hours i wasn't able o say a single word, except mung sinabi ko sa kundoktok kung saan ako bababa (na di rin naman nasunod).

Sison bus stop. Di naman ako bumababa.

All the way, paputol-putol ang ulan. Kala ko wala nang ulan sa Tarlac pero ang lakas-lakas pala. Kainis. And bumama ako lagpas ng dapat kong babaan. Pero ok lang. Badtrip lang talaga yung malakas na ulan kagabi.

Then nagcommute pa ako uli pauwi sa town namin.
Pag-uwi, sinalubong ako nila Mama ang Papa and my brothers. Ayun, sa wakas rest mode na ako. Feeling princess kasi dito. Go lang gumising na late at kumain anytime. Complete amenities.

Nakita ko rin sa church yung HS chums kong sina Inah and Onah. Kami-kami rin naman ang nagkikita-kita sa 4th mass kaya di na ako magtataka na sila pa rin makikita ko dun.

At eto ang pinakagusto ko - internet. Wala kasi nio sa Baguio. Meron naman actually pero sa school (sa library or comsci lab) or sa NetCafe na ang mahal-mahal naman. Bui pa dito libre lang.

Hay,,,sarap talaga ng feeling. Buti na lang walang pasok bukas and Baguio Day sa susunod. I'm sure ang next na uwi ko kasi sa sembreak na. Nothing can beat this feeling. There is really no place like home!

Kreativ Blogger (daw...)

Before anything else, I want to deeply say my thanks to SassyChick for sharing this award with me. This is my first award and I'm not really expecting this. I received it last August 6, but i just posted it today because I've been busy the past weeks.

Hmmm..di ako sure kung interesting 'tong mga 'to eh, pero anyways, I'll just cite random stuffs ha..

1. I don't drink coffee. Di ko lang siguro talaga feel. Kahit kasi sa bahay wala naman nagkakape. My mom don't drink it. And si Papa naman Milo or milk ang iniinom. Pero i love anything na mocha-flavored. Haha..

2. I put a small pillow in my tummy before i sleep. It just started around end of June this year. May stomachache kasi ako, tapos di ako makatulog...eh i really wanna sleep. Wlala akong gamot sa boarding house, and wala din ako maisip na pwedeng gawin. Ayun, parang effective naman sa'kin. Tapos may instant na kayakap pa. Haha.. So now i'm doing it every night.

3. Sorry ha, di rin po pala ako kumakain ng dinuguan. Ewan ko. Nung bata ako ok lang naman. Ngayon meydo choosy na ako. Haha...ewan.

I also love Parokya niu Edgar, Urbandub, Pupil, Simple Plan, Coldplay, Linkin' Park, Lifehouse, The Script, Greenday, ...and many, many more!

6. I hate the rain. I really, really do! Marami ditong blogs that would prove that. Ang gloomy kasi. Tapos ang boring, di makalabas. Ayoko rin kasing nababasa ang paa, shoes, legs and pants ko. Ayun. And madilim. I'm literally sad kung umuulan. Sorry ha.

7. I really love books. Books na international. I don't buy Filipino books sa totoo lang. Sige, awayin nyo na ako pero ganun talaga. Feeling ko lang kasi i gain more wisdom from internationally published books. Ayun.

i saw the solar eclipse this morning!!! first time ko!

While being bothered the past days about the continuous rainy and cloudy skies, this morning sun assured me that there's no need to fret. Yes, dahil doon, I was able to see the solar eclipse habang nasa duty (Student Assistant kasi ako sa college namin) at pinapunta sa Institute of Management. Merong ilang employees na tumitingin at may hawak silang film. Eh napadaan naman daw ako, ayun pinasilip sa'kin.

Ako naman, parang bata kasi first time ko nga nakakita ng ganun. Kahit di total eclipse, ok na rin...at least nawitness ko yun kahit papano - the longest solar eclipse of the 21st century...=)

How i finished reading Paolo Coelho's The Alchemist...

well...

either nung Monday or Tuesday yun..

i went to National Bookstore at SM Baguio...

headed to the shelves where Paolo Coelho books were displayed...

began to read The Alchemist at page 112...

page 112?

why?

kasi it's already my 4th time to go to NBS just to read this one..

ibig sabihin, pang-apat na balik ko na..haha...

tama bang unti-untiin yung book?

Wla kasi akong magawa noon kaya napagtripan kong basahin 'to.

I've read By the River Piedra I sat Down and Wept, The Zahir and The Pilgrimage as well... I actually have a copy of those books... eh since wala pa akong The Alchemist, binasa ko muna before deciding to buy... Eh ok lang naman,,,so kung may sobra sa allowance, saka na lang ako bibili. Actually nasimulan ko na ring basahin yung The Devil and Miss Prym... may book kasi akong tinago sa ibang shelves para mabalikan ko pa uli..haha.. Kasi yun na yung last copy nung huli akong tumingin eh...

So goodluck na lang sa trip kong 'to.

At least, kung makapagdecide na akong di ako bibili, nabasa ko na sila ng libre...haha..

Solar Eclipse daw sa July 22!

Sabi ng PAGASA, magkakaron daw ng partial solar eclipse sa July 22, birthday ni Sam, and good thing na mawiwitness 'to sa ilang parts ng Pilipinas. Sa Metro Manila, Calayan Island, Laoag City, Tuguegarao City, Baguio City, Angeles City in Pampanga, Puerto Princesa in Palawan, Lucena City, Naga City, Iloilo, Cebu, Zamboanga, Sulu, Davao at General Santos City. Haha...buti na lang kasama ang Baguio!

Magsisimula daw 'to sa Metro Manila 8:33:01 a.m. and it will reach its full visibility by 9:43 a.m. and will end at 11:01:51 a.m.

Oh..edi very phenomenal 'to.

Sana nga mawitness ko dito ang eclipse. And sabi din pala ng PAGASA na kailangan protektahan ang mata sa pagsusuot ng sunglasses, or pagtakip ng x-ray films or smoked glasses habang tumitingin.


Tanong?
Pwede bang ganito yung gamitin?


Bumili kasi ako dati ng ganito eh..para sa youngest bro ko...haha..
And blending pa yung colors nun...so nice!

first time to cook ADOBO last night!!! woah!

kasi naman...
wala akong alam lutuin...
pero na lang de lata, noodles, frozen goods and rice....
(di ko nga sure kung alam ko pa iluto yung chopsuey, or kung chopsuey nga ba ang output ko kung minsan)...

kaya nga nagpaturo ako magluto sa housemate ko...
step by step...
and i can't believe it!

it didn't taste as bad as i have thought it would...
and i wanna congratulate myself for this...
haha....

achievement 'to...
hope to learn cooking more dishes before i graduate...
let's say, it would be one of my prerequisites before i receive my diploma,..

wish me luck!

"Fate calls upon us at the moment of our choosing..."
-Optimus Prime-

Nice di ba?

Media Studies 11... so much fun...

It's our first official day of class in MS 11 this day. It's because Sir Amor got sick last week after leaving the country the weekend before that.

Well, initially I felt nervous since I didn't know what to expect - except for the recitation/ active participation part (I really don't like talking in front of my classmates, as in yung recitation mode). But after Sir's warm welcome and as he discussed the syllabus and the introduction to the course, I felt more relaxed. Lucky for me kasi may sense of humor si Sir. The class is never boring. And I felt more confident to answer his questions.

Hope that this confidence would last until the end of the sem.

Police cousin dropped by, saw him after almost a decade!

..while i was finishing Death on the Diagonal this afternoon, an official ride having guys who wore army-type clothing stopped in front of our house. Then a man in uniform stepped down and entered through our gate without knocking. I almost stood up to ask what he wants or why was he here or who was he. But then, when this guy as almost a few steps from our door, Papa recognized him as my cousin - the son of his late brother.

And then I realized that he was indeed Kuya Dos (Ramon Villa II). He said that they accompanied Congressman Antonino, whom I saw later on the prime time news.

Well, I thought they were some kind of an army or something like that.

Dad came out to talk o him and my brother called my Aunt so she could talk to him as well.

I'm now an incoming 3rd year college student, and I think the last time I saw him when when i was only Grade IV. Around 9-10 years had passed. We had a graduation picture of him kept somewhere (inserted in a photo album, i guess). And maybe that pic is more than 10years old now. But i know his facial features haven't changed much. He still looked the same. Cute, round face. Always with a smile, like Uncle Ramon.

His comrades also stepped out of their vehicle and talked to Papa and Auntie as well. They just had a short chat. Good thing, they passed our house on their way back. That gave him the slight opportunity to drop by.

He also gave me his number (maybe Papa said so) but i think it's good have a contact with a cousin whom I haven't spoken yet, actually.

After a while, they bid goodbye and continued their way home.

Well, Pop was indeed happy to see him. Even for a while.

upon being strong...

A message was sent to be by a friend, and just wanna share it to all. Actually it's just a simple sentence but i found it really meaningful.

"You don't know how strong you are until being strong is the only choice you have."

-Tani

I'm not really sure of the exact words but I guess I got the thought. Hope you are also enlightened by this one.

XIAN LIM -- my long-time crush, finally on lead role!

After waiting for something big to happen, good thing ABS-CBN gave him a break by making him one of the lead actors of their new show - KATORSE - with Erich and EJ.

He's been one of my crushes a couple of years now. I think he started as a teen model.

I really prayed that he would make it in this industry. So now, being a member of the Star Magic Family, i'm hoping to see him more often.

Hmmmmm...

I know he's one of the hotties to look forward to this coming season.

And i know he can prove to be good at it -- not just a cute face, but someone who bears the talent to be a star,..

Good luck XIAN...

XOXO,,

happy birthday Papa!!

May 22, 2009....

Today is my father's birthday... As usual, kahit papano, we are trying to celebrate each other's birthday kasi it's a gift from God - being able to survive another year and opening the door to a new year of challenges for all of us.

And ang goal ko lang naman ngayon ay sana di ma-bad trip si Papa sa'kin this day...haha... And it seems na nangyari naman kahit medyo naiinis s'ya kasi nanunuod ako kanina ng MYX... puro na lang daw tugtog... useless daw... sayang daw kuryente...haha... pero it's ok..

Hmmmm....
I know he is happy this day... though he is not so vocal about it.
And I am happy for him as well...

He's be best Papa in the whole world.
Nothing will ever replace him in our hearts.
Nothing will ever replace him in our hearts.

Happy birthday rin kay Raymund M.
cheers!!! haha...>

home....again

...after it all...

after the hardships,

the fall, the victories,

the long, sleepless nights...

the purple circles in my eyes...

the time spent in fretting over silly things,,

time of laughter with new peers,,,

new experiences,,

sunny days...

annowing moments,,,

experimentations to defy gravity...

not sure if summer has ended already for me..

not sure of what awaits me now...

just glad to be back..

just contented to be home again...

at last,..
