20 already!

I didn't expect that God will make my special day even more special. I celebrated it with my twin sister and to a new found friend <3 But we celebrated it with our own different circle of friends. Me, along with my 4 friends whom I spent my day with went to Gmall and ate our lunch at greenwich. And we also went to the arcade area where we wasted tokens for games and lastly we took a room for our videoke sessions (which was the most wonderful and funnest thing ever).

Posing with my special cake. I love this cake so much. I wish it won't gone away but it has to. So sad! Haha

Me and my twin sister together with our birthday cake from different person. We also received card/letter too. 

We are 20 now, we are no longer teenagers. And we are along set to chapter 2. Meaning, we must be ready for certain responsibilities for sure. But with God behind us, we can sure all do the things pretty perfect. :) God bless us all. We both had a very nice birthday! All glory and honor to God our Savior and King!

Acquaintance '11

Basically, this time it was not just only our department "acquaintance" meet but as well including the whole department of other colleges. So what happened was, totally the gymnasium of our school couldn't really occupy by the whole countless students in the university.

Only just one fourth came but we felt like sardines in the canned goods inside the gym. We were perspiring non stop and headaches. O_O

Glad I survived it. I really felt I was about to faint due to the heat pressure of the atmosphere. I did not finish the whole program, though. I was there since 1 pm up to 5 pm sitting. That was really a murder. Anyway, the program should have finished at 7pm due to some band plays.

Fun fun night

I am always excited to join this kind of event every once a year in our school. It is the only thing that I want to keep records of grand/melodic memories with my old & new college friends. It is hard to explain the feeling of seeing some of them as their last dancing show under the disco lights with me.

They are the funnest people I have ever met in my entire college life.  I might not going to see them again next year for an event like this. They will all be graduating soon and I still have some few years to cope with, but it is okay. I know soon I will get by on it. This might be my year, I know someday it will be.

Though we really did not like the background songs played during our disco disco mode, with friends who were having fun are cool enough to be in the dance floor.

So til the next acquaintance my friends. ^_^ God bless us all.

Friday Night

We set the date, filled with joy and poured with an overly blessing from above after celebrating the presence of God together with some of other brothers and sisters in Christ. Indeed, it was NEW LIFE engaging. Praise God.

Flashing some camera lights into a dashing strong rain drops as we protect ourselves away from it at the most forbidden curfew for girls like us in the road side. We have no other way out but to look for a shelter to stay in for awhile, thinking the rain would stop immediately. But we were wrong.

So we pulled a little longer away from our house since we really need to get some other transportation to our place. And because it's dangerous for us girls to walk home at night due to some critics of bad people around the corner, hiding evily.

"ON THE SIDE VIEW" Still hopeful for an angel to come our way and take us away from the strange street with my sister.

Taking it away the limeshot from me. Now here is the view of my patient sister who is waiting for cab to bring us home with charge (no worries) 

Summer is over.

What comes to your mind when you hear 'SUMMER' from someone else's mouth? Do you ever think of the beach? Or lots of get-a-way and a vacay to a foreign land or island??

Wow, it seems you really have great ideas when it is time for SUMMER ESCAPADE :> But of course, money can really be sometimes the villain of our plans. Anyways, it doesn't really matter at all. I tell you. Like, me and my few friends were lucky enough to experienced this once in a lifetime summer fun this year.

I never thought I could really go to the beach with friends. Usually, I am always with my uncles or relatives. So thanks for our sponsors, Gail (my bestfriend since grade school) and her husband, Mike. :)

 

 

 

As you can see, girls that are in these pictures include me, Angelica., Kristah, Geselle & Gail. <3 Missing Krisha, Delbeth and Ferdi. Next time again. God bless us all. ♥

Productive day.

Basically, I didn't expect to have a very productive day except that I already promised a friend for an event to attend today. Plus, I never thought I could really persuaded my sister to come with me. It was a blessing in God to be accompanied by my sister. I hope she wont regret it and will be inspired about what we heard from the event. Well for me, the event that we attended really inspired me so much when it comes to entrepreneurship.

I am really looking forward that one day, I would be able to become one of the very successful businessmen/women just like the ones who are very successful right now. (REDUNDANT, I KNOW :p)

Anyways, one thing that made me happier for today, that again I was able to attend our youth fellowship even if I wasn't able to finish it due to another appointment with the same group in the morning. It was the most exciting and contented moment for me to be part on today's discussions in the church. Here are some pics that I took before the fellowship started. :)

L-R, Above - below: Kim, Rebecca, Riza, Stage, Ate Rachael, & baby Tal :)

With the Escalona sisters, Kim and baby Tal

So after I left in the fellowship, I went to the center to meet my other appointees. I stayed the for awhile while waiting for my sister to arrive. Talked with Lor about random stuffs and learned something from him at the same time. It's really important to be open-minded and I've used it. After meeting with sister and Regie in the center. Few minutes we left together with our leader DALE. 

We kinda have bonding session tonight which the fact me and my sister were the only girls in the group.
We went to this night cafe for like 30 minutes and went to the market place where we ate "HALANG-HALANG" or spicy bolalo.

It was my first time since I never really go out from the house aside from going to school and meet my original  group of friends.

From the L- Above -Down : Rice with HALANG HALANG soup
Dale, Deo, Mark, Lor & Prince. Regie, Angelica and Me.

Haha and so thank God Dale dropped us in our place. Good night, super tired now. Thank God.. =)

Girls ride.

I hope this is cool enough.. So I promised myself to post this momentous day here. I decided to make it now even though it is already 1:20 am and I still have my last class tomorrow at 8 am which I also have my quiz therefore.

Anyways, I just want to share this mixed and few photos of our bonding galore as it became a tradition to our friendship to meet up after being separated for a quite some time. Though we were incomplete, it felt great to see my other separated bestfriend, Dew.. And now she's back in Cebu again. I hope everything goes well for her and to all of us, always.

Time to catch the last minute flight. Good night and God bless us always. ♥

time check: 1:23 am. Bye :)

"Even though I’m moving on, I will never forget you. All because you were my first true love. And there will come a time in my life when I will thank you for that because by you breaking my heart, it made me a little bit stronger and you made me a little bit closer to finding the one that I’m meant to spend the rest of my life with. The scary thing is; all the pain you put me through, with the snap of your fingers I’d run back so fast. So I bet you love to know you can have me at any moment you want."


-From tumblr 

This is really something for me, though I never really had any relationships or ever been in to it yet. But I won't deny the fact that I have liked somebody and still is (I'm not sure though). There is only one thing I knew about myself, I am a loyalist. Not because I feel like I have to, but because I feel contended enough immediately. Though, it is hard for me to be persuaded on that particular matter. In the long run, I feel like it's worth it. Because I can promise that I'm theirs to keep, forever. 


I maybe skeptical in some portion of any kinds of situation. But I guarantee that you will always have my back as 
soon as you got to know me and have me by your side.  

Monday is okay.

HOLLAAA!

Being a sleepless girl for now. Slept for only 3 hours and plus another 30 mins between the day. I thought that we were going to have our first exam in my summer class subject. But thank God though,  because it means I still have much time to study for tomorrow. For now, I dunno why I'm still awake. I'm tired but I feel like there is something is about to happen and that I don't want to miss it. But yeah, I'm just being too lazy to relax and selfish for internet use. 

Anyways, today was just so-so. Since, God helped me in my programming this afternoon. Even though everything was half copied from my classmate but I did some polish so please Lord I hope I did enough for my part for this phase. I was happy to just walked around again in a mall with my friend after school. And because it's like a decade since I went out with a friend. Now time has finally given me a chance to get another breathtaking experiences. 


I'm always praying for everyone of you, and please never forget to pray to God and to ask for forgiveness. We never know how and when are we going to leave this earth, we must at least be prepared for our eternal life and that is in Heaven's Mighty King, Lord God.


As today we've witnessed two separate accident and time. This morning after my class, I went home and as we passed in a street we've seen a motorcycled junked off from semi starex van. It seems like the driver in that motorcycle is not so painfully harmed (I hope so). And at night as we came out from a store, we witnessed two jeepneys bumped at each other. Glad, no major injuries happened by each. 


Tssk, satan is really trying to break and damage's human christian's life. I won't never let it happen to me, because I trust God with all my heart, with all my soul, and with all my mind. God sealed me in His mighty blood. I hope you too do the same..

Good-natured Realist : How true??

Just when I finished this personality test here, that I got from Denise Cua (well, she's one of my favorite blogger and who inspires me more to share God's verse). I remember back then in my 4th year highschool when I was taking up a I-forgot-already-what's-the-name-of-it but I'm sure I took it together with other 4th year students nationwide at that same day. At first, I knew that I needed to take serious with that kind of exam and because we were told that this could help us find our path for our college preparations. 


I was scared and hesitant that I could not make it, because I was lacked of confident about myself. Nevertheless, the results wouldn't really inclined my path but just only a guide for what might be the best for me eventually. Before hand, I was not really sure on what to get in college. Maybe because my dreams went all descended when I first not got my desired school :c .. I had a lot of discouragements and disappointments about myself and  my situations. 


But I always knew that God is always there ready to listen, and at that moment on I was just being so stubborn to wake up from reality and leave my fantasy behind. Well, I wouldn't say it was just a mere fantasy because I dreamed. I dreamed to be in the school that I truly wanted to be even til now. But God opened my mind and heart to the things that needed to be compromised one at hand. Thank God. I trust Him. 


So the bottom line is, I guess the result I got from the test I took was the same with this result I just recently taken today. I mean, my ways of career path or career thinking is much different with this test's thoughts. I am taking up Information Technology right now and none of those related future career are not mentioned. It has always  been in the field of medicines and whatsoever, it is very far away related from my chosen course right now. 


Oh well, I must be honest. True, I always have these feelings to be more precise and successful in terms of medicine care and servicing others. I am not really sure if logically in my chosen course and future career can eventually serve others genuinely. I'm not yet so sure, though. I am still just taking some chances and opportunities. And whatever will it be liked, I pray to God that I won't regret anything that I've taken in the future. I will let God's will be done, for me. 


on the side note, this makes me a bit happy with these people according to my result.


 Renowned persons with similar personality types:

• Alfred Tennyson, poet
• Barbara Bush, American first lady
• Jimmy Stewart, actor
• Kristi Yamaguchi, figure skater
• Louisa May Alcott, novelist
• Michael Caine, actor
• Mother Theresa, missionary nun
• Mary I, queen of England
• Robert E. Lee, army officer
• William Howard Taft, American president

I always salute, Mother Theresa's selfless love like Jesus Christ. <3

Hello ^_^

What a lovely day, woke up thinking what would be now the life for the newly weds and the feeling of being a PRINCESS finally? Before heading out in bed, had chatted with my twin sister who missed to watch the Royal Wedding live streamed in tv because she went out with some few guy friends. And so I told her about what I've seen.

We were such in awe to finally say how pretty was "PRINCESS" Kate Middleton on her wedding day. It was a bit surprising and a talked about finally saying Princess Kate. That sounds really lovely. =)

Okay.. End of Royal Wedding fever. So dropped off the bed and ate late brunch then talked to my dad on skype. Well, some unfortunate things happened. My dad got mad at my sister for some sensitive reasons and we're so much worried already. My dad is really sensitive and I couldn't do anything about it. I hope, God will touch his heart and to forgive my sister. Hopefully!

So anyways, you might wondering why I included that picture. Aah, just ignore it. I'm just posting it as a cover for this unrelated motion picture, if you get what I mean. Or you think I sound vague. Haha! Whatever, I'm actually still practicing to take notes out in my head properly. But there is always a problem, my mind is not functioning well as it should be. Maybe because I am really dumb. It's hard for me to understand or learn quickly. Is it bad? Probably Mai (talking to myself)

Okay, not making this long as I am just trying to pass by and greet you whoever are updated in my blogroll. Have a good day and time to take another leap of faith. STUDY HARD and PRAY HARDER! Ciao. <3

Holy Week

Tomorrow is the starting day of the Holy Week. I am thinking about the things that I need to repent and to sacrifice. Though I know that Jesus already saved us from our sins. I'm still guilty of all the disappointments that I give to Him. But despite of that, He never lose hope in me. And now He has given me another year to celebrate and correct or undo the things that I've done and replace them into a new bigger faith for Him, I am hoping that I could make it right.


Let us all be reminded on how Jesus died on the cross to save us from all our sins. Let us as well offer a sacrifice for Him.


"For God so love the world, He gave us His only begotten Son. Those who believe in Him, shall not perish but have eternal life." -John 3:16

Bonding and fun

04-03-11


I really enjoyed that day when I went with my three cute cousins to help them buy their desired fashion eyeglasses. I had so much fun since we did lots of things like picture taking everywhere and any time. But the funnest was when we went to their studio to get an actual semi  formal photo shoots. These girls are pretty cool to be with, including their happy-go-lucky (another) 'chaperon' ate verna ☺

three sisters: natnat, mermer, & kimkim

Friday. I went out with my long time friends since highschool and gradeschool. Kak went to my place first and followed by Gigi. Basically we didn't plan on what we are going to do on  that day, but we all wanted to chill out for awhile and bond with each other again after a long period of time of not having the chance. Though we still missed our other usual friends or some of our 'barkada', we still made our time well spent. And since one of our married barkada was also their 1st wedding anniversary, . So she didn't make it with us.

So later that half night spent with those girls, me and my sister had already appointment with our coolest Aydol. He wanted us to have dinner with him and surprising his youngest son with our presence. But we felt aydol did the wrong choice of plan, haha seemed like his son was not happy to meet us even if it was his first time to see us both :( SAD SAD! haha but anyways, we still enjoyed it because aydol was so good in entertaining us, and an endless great advices he has given us during those time we spent together. Truly, he is one of our mentors now.

04-10-11

My family and I woke up at 4 am to prepare for the pick up time at 5:30 by my uncle Santi at our pad. Since it was Harley Dave's 10th birthday, my uncle planned to surprised him a breakfast birthday celebration with just the family member. I wasn't able to sleep well before that day because I was having trouble with my sleep. When we finally threw a breakfast party at Harley, we all went together to join a mass at the Chinese Filipino Catholic Church (which it was our first time: me, family and uncle) by the nigerian priest. 

Though, the priest was able to deliver his thoughts well because of the pronunciation defects I was still able to understand what he was sermoning that time. I love that Nigerian priest, he sorta love our town and learned to speak our language as well. And he was really kind at all, he all smiles and felt that it was not a plastic gestures from him. I wish I could go back and hear him again someday. 

Pardon my face but with the birthday boy.

Afterwards, an hour after we went home to prepare since we were going to CDO (cagayan de oro). An hour and half ride to that city. We had lunch at Dynasty hotel and went straightly ahead to SM and strolled for the remaining time. But I got worried at latter cos mommy wasn't feeling well, she complains about her lower back pain which we suspected it is UTI (urinary track infection) T_T I hope she would all be fine tomorrow in God's grace and healing power. 

are u familiar with these girls?

the feeling 'SNSD'

I LOVE YOU ALL ♥ 2ne1

and that ends the fun. I always feel blessed by God because He let us experience this all grateful things despite of my selfish motives or whatsoever (but I dont mean about SELFISH MOTIVES ha?) or insecurities, jealousy or anger (at times), He still understood and forgave me. Thank you God! I love you.. 

MUSICAUSE '11

March 5, 2011- Musicause concert at MSU-IIT gymnasium. (The purpose of this concert is to advocate students to start making our lives with a better world) -my own opinion :P



Basically, I have three friends (Kristah, Kim, and Mai)who were part of that cause event last night because they are from the ECHOES band in college. The show really started at almost 7 pm. But we kinda missed the real start of the show cos we were kinda late about 10 mins. or so? We just caught the invocation at the middle part. 


First thought, as I wasn't realizing the importance of this concert and I was not actually going to watch it because for some usual reasons (that I'm lazy to bring myself on those kinds of events). Literally, I knew that my friends will going to perform and I kinda had the feelings that 'Ya know, it would be really great to see them performing but still lazy to analyze how to get there on the said date.' Well, I'm just actually complicating things. Not that when my sister told me that our other friend (Krisha) contacted her and told her that she reserved two tickets for us in case we would want to watch. Apparently, it started to change my intuitive about it. Because Krisha gave effort for us to see our close friend (Kristah) who will first time performing on stage on a real live show. So I got hyped, and excitedly want watch it then. 


When we arrived, I thought I'll be seeing a big crowd inside the gym but (it wasn't unfortunate) they were just few but could still summed up as a little crowd. Which made me more enjoying the entire show, cos I can see directly all the performers and my friends on stage (the reason I persuaded watching it) without any hassle to climb myself up. 

This lady right here has the golden voice! 

pardon the blurriness : Kak and Kim's first performance and duet 

But the real outstanding part for me was to see Kristah conquered her shyness and eventually showed up to the crowd and yell to them "HEY, I GOT A TALENT and I'M PROUD OF IT". She really come out from her shell already. I hope that she will continue her passion as it will surely bring her to far places but with still a humble heart of course. May God bless her more and that she would really excel on it too and be better always! 

Kristah and Me (after the show)

Well, to my other friends KIM (who is the most popular amongst the group) who made the crowd cheered for, really did a great job. With her skills in drumming and singing voice, ALL THUMBS UP! and to Maii whom I knew has the very greatest angelic and superb voice made me wish I could be like her with so much spirit and vibrantly image (APPLAUSE). 

Kim and my sis PonPon (before the show)

 ----- I will insert my pic with mai as soon as my friends in fb are posting it already :P----

While watching them on stage, I was with my sister Pon, and Krit's other friends. We had so much fun cos the other friends of ours were amusingly attentive and participating hilariously on some songs. And they were acting pretty ridiculous at that moment on. But it was super fun! :) 

During the show: 

the other friends: Daryl with gf Jenna (they hyper much)

enjoy much?: krit and pon

who is this girl? :)

After the show : 

luckily i was still included in this pic. Credits to Daryl :)

The super twins? Yes! 

that chic girl in blue who rocked the show and made the crowd blown away \m/

That was it. Had really fun also seeing my other collegues from my IT department. I wish I had pictures with them from Pon's digicam. But I might share it someday as soon as I could grab from their accounts :P 

P.S. I would like to acknowledge and thank my Mom for the dinner and for the tickets :> Yipee! what a wonderful show and was worth watching for ! :D thank you Father God for allowing us to experience this such momentous night with friends, you really let us enjoyed so much. ☺♥

on the add note : we didn't win any raffle draw last night. a girl was so lucky to have been picked and got a brand new nokia phone :( hahahah but it's okay. :D
