Merry Christmas!! :)

Unredeemed

Unredeemed - Selah

The cruelest words

The coldest heart

The deepest wounds

The endless dark

The lonely ache

The burning tears

The bitter night

The wasted years

Life breaks and falls apart

But we know these are...

Places

Where grace is

Soon to be so amazing

They may be unfulfilled

They may be unrestored

But when anything that's shattered

Is laid before the Lord

Just watch and see

It will not be

Unredeemed

For every choice

That led to shame

And all the love

That never came

For every vow

That someone broke

And every life

That gave up hope

We live in the shadow of the fall

But the cross says these are all

Places

Where grace is

Soon to be so amazing

They may be unfulfilled

They may be unrestored

But when anything that's shattered

Is laid before the Lord

Just watch and see

It will not be

Unredeemed

Places

Where grace is

Soon to be so amazing

They may be unfulfilled

They may be unrestored

You never know the miracles

The father has in store

Just watch and see

It will not be

Unredeemed

this is a beautiful song from Selah. :)

it reminds me of the hard times we go through, none of this will be left unredeemed. :)

have a happy weekend everyone! :)

update :)

wow. it's December already, and in exactly two weeks, Christmas is here again. :) hmm.. it's beginning to feel a lot like Christmas. :) im loving the weather too, especially at night. :) it's been awhile since i wrote here. i came home earlier than the usual from work today, so im here to write a few updates. :)

last last Saturday, i finally got my Starbucks planner! yey! :) it's simple, but i like it the way it is. :) the planner comes with a small booklet of coupons that you can use in certain months throughout the year. :)

i love this cutie little coffee bean. :)

***
last Saturday, Grace and i went to the World Bazaar at World Trade Center and did some Christmas shopping! :) there were so many cute stuffs and things to buy. it blew my mind off (or should i say, our moolah)! i want to go back! :)

***
Wednesday night, i ate at Yellow Cab with a friend and had this:

Chicken Alfredo Pasta

Twice Baked Potato Halves - simply irresistible!! :)

Vanilla Ice Cream

'twas a great night. :) we walked home together and part of me wished that life could stay this way forever. :)

***
work is okay, i think im getting used to it already. this is my 8th month at work. :) this morning, our accountant came and we gave her our payment for BIR. i can't state here how much we paid, but it's really so big. :( we tried to negotiate with them, but to no avail. it's okay to pay taxes and everything else if we see changes. but i don't see anything.. no improvements at all. im losing hope that this government will get better. even if a new president will replace the present one next year. it's sad how people do anything just for money. :( we're really living in the end times now and things just go from worse to worst. yesterday afternoon, there was a big fire near our work place. it's so big that even after two hours, the fire just won't die down. today, around lunchtime, a big transformer in front of our office exploded. we called the Meralco right away to come check what went wrong but they're too slow to take action. im afraid that this might lead to another fire. so now, im home. praying that nothing bad will happen.

till here for now. im going to wrap some gifts first. byeee! :) hope to hear from you too! :)

2012

The moment we stop caring for each other,
that's the moment we lose our humanity.

look into my eyes..
you'll see.

my week so far.

hello. :) im still here. and. i miss writing. :) i hope i can write regularly again. please bear with me. i know i'll be random. as i always am. ;)

okay.. so where will i start?

i'll try to summarize my week. here goes..

last Sunday, i was assigned to play the piano during our Youth Meeting. and it was my first time. i played several times already, but im always using the keyboard. now, it's the real grand piano. i was scared to death, but also grateful because i know i don't deserve it. it's an honor to serve You. :) after church, we had quick lunch and headed to Manila Memorial in Cavite. surprisingly, there was no traffic at all and we were there in 45minutes. :) we stayed there and cleaned the place, put some fresh flowers, and replaced the old photo hanging for more than a decade. when i looked at my Angkong's face, i almost forgot how he looked like when he was still here with us. i can remember the days that i spent with him in the fifth floor of Makati Med, when nurses and doctors come in every hour to check on him.. i can remember the time when he got mad on me and my brother for fighting over a toy to a point that he let us kneel down.. i can remember the way he drinks his soup and the way he sets his hair. but im thinking.. how much do we remember? it made me realize again that life is so fleeting. anyway.. we stayed for a few hours, and when we were on our way out of the cemetery, we got caught in traffic and, believe it or not, we were inside for TWO and a half hours!!! we were so hungry and thirsty. and we can do nothing but pray. gladly, we made it home in an hour after we got out of the place.

Monday was a holiday so there's no work for me. :) i stayed home and did nothing! :) i loved it. sometimes, i get so caught up with everything i have to do and after finishing one thing, there's always next in my to-do list. it feels good to stop and just rest. :) that night, someone came and we just spent time together just talking. :)

Tuesday, it's back to reality again. back to work. so far, im enjoying my work and i've grown to love it. :) im more used to the phone calls, the orders, the different kinds of people you encounter each day. so far, so good. Grace joined me for dinner and told me about their trip to Cebu last week where they joined the Southern Conference. :) she also gave me yummy squid flakes and peanut kisses! :) joined Prayer Meeting after dinner. :)

Wednesday, still work. tutor after work. and had coffee with a dear friend. :) red cups are out that day at Starbucks! :) and it's here to stay until January 6, 2010. :) and as i always do every year, i start collecting my stickers again to get my Starbucks planner!! :)

it comes again in three lovely designs. one must accumulate a total of 17 stickers - 9 christmas beverage + 8 core beverages. :) they also displayed new designs of tumblers and mugs for sale, and decorated the place too. it's beginning to feel like Christmas again. :)

Thursday, is such a gloomy day. it was raining while im on my way to work. and i think i didn't saw the sun that day. just dark clouds and rain pouring from time to time. joined Bible Study and saw Candy again! - she also went to Cebu - *hello Candy! :) so hungry after church so cooked fried rice and ate before going to bed. :)

Friday. today. i can't believe it's already been a week. but i really love Fridays. :) it didn't rained today.. in fact, it's hot today. our weather is really weird. just when i thought that it will rain all weekend, the sun was up and shining again the moment i woke up. i picked up the groceries after work today, ate dinner, and rushed to church for a piano practice with Bro. Robert for our Sunday School worship. i went to visitation too with Pauline and Michelle. :) and.. now im here. trying to update my blog. =D i planned to go to Ace Water Spa with my brother tomorrow, but he's down with sorethroat and colds, so i guess it's cancelled. we're moving it next next week. :)

how was your week so far? :) have a happy and productive weekend everyone! :) im hitting the sack earlier tonight. :)

goodnight! :)

last weekend.

loving shabu-shabu at King One along Macapagal with Koo, Mau, Candy, Rachael, Joy, and Grace. :)

a year older.

yesterday, i turned 22.

i saw it coming. but im scared of what the day will bring. of course, i won't celebrate it with D anymore so that's a BIG change for me. and honestly, it makes me sad and makes me wanna skip my birthday.

during Saturday, i went out with Grace and we had cellophane together at Jesi. :) we ate lunch at Tempura and Dustin followed us after finishing his work. :) we walked around looking for a nice bag but got nothing. i only bought myself a book - The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold. a friend told me it's a good read. :) we had yummy Halo-Halo and Palabok at Razon's before coming home. :)

when i came home, our guard gave me a paperbag with a gift from Alda. :) i also saw a huge cabinet the moment i entered the door. it's the one i've been secretly dreaming of buying - becuase my clothes are all over our house, some in a small cabinet outside, a part in my brother's cabinet, and some in Hannah's room. the cabinet is a gift from my Aunt. :) so now, i have my own place. hehe. :)

Sunday morning, im blessed that i was assigned to play the piano for our Sunday School and Youth fellowship. what a great way to serve the Lord. :) a lot of people texted me during midnight, some wrote on my Facebook wall, and others wished me a happy birthday at church. even some of my students. :) my small cousins each drew a card for me. :) i also received four cakes! WOW. and im eating one now while doing this entry. :)

my whole family had dinner together at Mann Hann San Juan. :) i love the place, it's so modern with high ceilings. :) it's just across Sandy's Pizza. the food is really good, but the company is so much better. :)

im so overwhelmed by the love and effort shown by everyone. i know that they knew that this day is hard for me.. but they all made it extra special. it's not the gifts that matter, but it's the thought that counts. :) i sure don't deserve all the love im receiving, and i have nothing but gratitude for all of you. yes you, who religously read my blog. haha. ;) i know im boring lately, i hope i can make it up to you. ;) at the end of the day, i know that i've got family and friends, and yes, God, and it's all that matters. :)

though i don't know what the year ahead holds for me, but i know that as long as God holds my hand, i can walk boldly, eyes wide open, and i'll finish this race. :)

***
"The one who calls you is faithful and he will do it."
-1 Thessalonians 5 : 24

just a few days ago, i made one of the most important decisions in my life. it was something that will change the rest of my future - a future i have thought i have believed in for years.

some things just aren't meant to be, no matter how long you've invested your heart and soul into it. life is full of gambles, and it is a journey. there are rewards, but only if you make choices.. only if you make decisions on how you want to live your life. should i stay even if there have been too many signs that i have willfully ignored? should i hold on even if i have doubts?

and so, i choose to let go. i choose, and i choose to gamble. because this is how i want to live my life. this is how i can live my life. i may have caused pain and hurt, but whichever way i look at it, i will still cause pain and hurt, because i can never be happy anymore.

i can say sorry.. say it is my fault. because i have been weak. and i mean it, because it is my fault. in moments of solitude, i might wonder about what could have been and shed some tears. yet i do not have regrets.

i have loved and been loved unconditionally.i have been happy.

some things just could never be.

sweet reminder.

"Sorrow is one of the things lent, not given.
Joy is given; sorrow is lent.
Sorrow is lent to us for just a little while
that we may use it for eternal purposes.
Then it will be taken away and everlasting joy
will be our Father's gift to us, and the Lord God
will wipe away all tears..."
-Amy Carmichael

On this day

I just want you to know that there is nothing more I wish for in life but to see you happy, and I am trying my very best to live up to your expectations. It's hard but it's worth it.

You don't deserve anything that's happening right now. I can't blame you if one day you will just vanish, but I am trying hard to make things right and I hope it is not too late.

I love you. Always remember that.

I will always remember that..

And I will always remember this day.
This day will always be one of the saddest days of my life.

Thank you for all the memories. I'll miss you.

Happy Happy Birthday to my great friend GRACE!!!! :)
love love you. :)

midnight madness

im still here. i haven't written in, hmm, two weeks!! haha. a lot of things are on my mind. so many things to post.. so many stories to tell. but don't know where to start.

im going crazy. there are times when im just so happy already.. and then unexpectedly, when i think about it, the pain becomes overwhelming. :( why do i have to go through this?? seesh.

***
anyway.. here are some pictures from last weekend.


we are changing group assignments in church. starting this week, it will be with new sisters already. so Grace invited us to her house last Friday. she ordered two large pizzas from Shakey's and shared some of her thoughts. :) only four of us made it. but it's alright. Grace, Meliza, Czezhen, and I had a great time eating and talking. :) can you believe that there were only two slices of pizza left??! haha!

here's Grace and Me. :) i stayed longer since i only have to cross the street to get home. :)

***
i joined visitation tonight. this time with Grace and Michelle. :) Grace, Michelle, Pau, and I will be on the same group. we went to see Jessica, Charm, and Chariz. i was enlightened when Grace shared about us not being of this world. she made an example - like we were going on a vacation somewhere else, like in Spain. when you're there, you don't buy yourself a car or a house.. because you don't live there. you'd still come back to your home where you came from. likewise, we should not invest in this world. because even if we are in this world, we are not of this world.

im reminded tonight of God's faithfulness once again.

***
it's already past twelve. why am i still awake? i really don't know why. as if the darkness brings so much to contemplate upon..

sleep is important, sleep is wanted by my body, why won't i give it? my mind tells me that too, but i don't know, i can't seem to grant it to me.

thank you for getting me this book. ♥

Joyful

it's finally Friday, a rainy one at that. :) im so happy.. wait, that doesn't seem to be the right word. more than happiness, i feel joy. :) it's been awhile since i felt this way. well, there are a lot of things to be happy. first off, it's Friday! then i bought the siopaos i've been craving for eversince Grace let me tried it on Tuesday. im gonna get the book i've been looking forward to for months tomorrow! and i have a new friend. :)

i can't write down all the details. but all i can say is, i think that sometimes, God uses friends to show His love for us. :)

i attended our practice with the rest of the worship team tonight for Sunday at church, i finished earlier so i waited for Grace to finish her practice too. she came over and we watched our favorite telenovela. haha! ate the siopaos, drank my favorite cranberry juice, and talk. :)

off to bed in awhile. have a happy weekend everyone! :)

Weekend at Caylabne

during the long weekend, i joined the career gathering along with some brothers and sisters. we all went to Caylabne Bay Resort in Ternate, Cavite. we left after the Praise and Worship. the ride was longer than what i expected. there were zigzags.. we went uphill, and downhill. i was feeling sleepy and dizzy at the same time, but the people in the car were always fun to be with. :) there's Bro. Allen, Sis. Lydia, little Jade, the yaya, Koo, Candy, Sarah, Grace, and me.

we were one of the firsts who arrived. so we helped in distributing the snacks to each room and in giving some of the keys. im in the same room with Koo, Candy, and Grace. :) the room looks a little bit old, actually the whole place is a little bit old. but if there's one thing i love there - it's the FOOD! haha. ;) after dinner we had one meeting where Bro. Eden and Bro. Moses shared a few words. they shared about glorifying God in our work, in choosing our friends, especially our lifetime partners. it was really encouraging. :)


after the meeting, we went night swimming. :) too bad Grace and Candy wasn't there. i think we got up around past 11pm. it was so cold while we were walking back to our rooms. but it's okay, D was just beside me.. and that made me want to freeze time. haha. :) we took pictures together before i finally went back to my room.


after breakfast the next day, there were some group games. i only joined the first two. Ruth, Rachel, Judith, Cyrus, Daniel, and i rented a motor boat and went snorkeling. :) we really enjoyed the ride and the view. :) there were waves.. and big rocks, and some caves too. :) we got so far that we cannot see the land anymore. then we came down. honestly, there were no corals at all! but we saw some fishes.. and blue starfishes. :) on our way back, D was feeling nauseous. until we reached the island, he was still feeling bad. luckily someone gave us meds, and he was okay again. :)


i showered after lunch, and played charades with some sisters. it was so much FUN! :) so tired i fell asleep for awhile. and we left already. we were the last one who left the place, but Koo drove real fast. we stopped by Blue Wave and ate dinner at Gerry's Grill. :) im so RED here, and until now, my arms and legs still hurt so bad that i cannot wear anything fitted because of the sunburn. but it's all worth it. :) it feels good to get away from this busy city once in awhile. :)

the ber months are here again! and some people are starting to countdown the days till Christmas. ;) a sweet friend just gave me an ointment today for my sunburn, hopefully these will be gone by weekend. :)

Happy Birthday Koo!! :)

Sidewalk Cafe

Sidewalk Cafe

Alda and i had dinner together today. :) we met up after work. and tried the newly opened Sidewalk Cafe somewhere near our place. i think it's been less than two months since they opened. like all cafes around here, they also offer other goodies aside from drinks.

this is what we tried -

Hickory Spareribs

Korean Beef

the beef is tender, which is good. and flavorful too. :) but the serving size is not enough for one. way too few slices of beef for me. meanwhile the spareribs is yummy too. and bigger than the beef. :) so far so good.

we talked and talked over dinner. :) and while i was in the washroom, Alda paid our bill!! i was supposed to treat her, but she paid our bill already. smart girl. haha! it's my turn next time. thanks Alda! :) she also gave me a top which she got for me during her Thailand trip. yes, she's sweeeeet and thoughtful like that. :)

im posting separate pictures of us because the one where we are together is blur. :( i didn't noticed it while we were there, just now when i transferred the pictures here in my computer. so here we are, happy as always. :) after dinner, she met with her boyfriend Renz, and watched his basketball game tonight. :)

*wrong white balance for the pictures. sorry for that. ;)

P.S. why are some pictures here so grainy? but if you click it, it's not grainy anymore. can somebody help me with this? is blogger shrinking it? or is it just my browser?

updates.

*for quite some time now, i've been feeling sad for some reasons. but thankfully, i got a chance to talk with a friend (who's my spiritual leader in many ways) before lunch during Sunday and she talked some sense in me. haha! well.. after all things that's been said and done, i realized how selfish i am. and from now on, i'll learn to appreciate whatever is given to me and i won't demand anymore. :) i need to change, i know it's for the better. ;) and i'll enjoy every moment. ♥

*on Monday, we all went to New World Hotel's M2M (Morning to Midnight) restaurant and had a buffet dinner for Auntie Cherry's 40th birthday. :) i loved the desserts more than the main course. :) and of course, i got to see everyone again! :)

*Francine and i met for lunch today (finally!!). we have to be quick because i still have to go back to work so we just ate at Tasty's. she's on leave for one week! and she's going to Hongkong and Macau this Friday - Monday. how fun is that! :) i'd love to go with her but i still have some commitments here that i cannot leave. it's been awhile since we last saw each other and i really missed her!! :) oh, we accidentally saw each other last night at the train station! is that counted? haha.


*it's soooo hot today! so hot that i feel so thirsty and dizzy while at work. it rained for awhile tonight but it's still hot. tsk. and the highlight for today? my good little brother reformated our computer and all my pictures there got deleted. i don't have a copy of it in my laptop. only very few. and that really makes me SAD. :( i don't know what to do. so i better fix my pictures here and print them before these too gets lost.

that's all folks. come back for more. :)

Up!

my classmate James came over to my house today to bring the Coffee Jelly Mousse i ordered from him. :) we were supposed to meet somewhere else, but because of the pile of work i still have to do, he was kind enough to come. :) we talked about how we really miss school.. and our other classmates of course. like who has work already, and where they are working. he recently resigned from McDo. and is now finding a new job. i told him to work in a bakery company since he's really good at baking. :)


the coffee jelly is yummy! Grace ordered one too. ;) James also makes yummy Blueberry Cheesecake! :)


somewhere in between, D and i found time to watch the much awaited UP this afternoon. :) i really love it! in one particularly insightful little scene, one of the characters says, “Sometimes, it’s the boring stuff I remember the most.” it’s a sentiment that easily explains the appeal of this film. it’s not the high adventure wackiness that will ultimately make this film stand out. it’s the poignant little moments where we watch the characters deal with life and loss and friendship and dreams, all the familiar little things that are already present in our own lives.


just took this shot from our window. the clouds never fail to amaze me.. the shapes, the colors. ;)

untitled

time is slow today. i kept on looking at the clock while at work, wishing for it to go faster. what makes it more slow is that while everyone is having another long weekend, i don't have a holiday tomorrow. still have work, and i have to be earlier than usual tomorrow. boo!! :(

yesterday, i joined visitation along with Grace, Meliza, and Erwin. it's been so long since i last went on visitation. and when i walked pass some people at church, their faces showed that they were surprised to see me on a Wednesday night. is it a big deal?

after visitation, Grace and i bought some food and came home and we watched TV together. we talked a lot after watching without even noticing the time. after that talk, i realized that there are really so very few people you can trust. im glad Grace is one of them. ;) that's why i can't blame my cousin who doesn't like it very much when coming to church. she tells me that many people there aren't really going for God.. instead, they go to gossip. it's a sad reality, but it's true. people talk behind your backs. people talk as if they've known you all their life. they judge.

i hope and pray that the Lord would keep me. and that my eyes will only focus on Him and not on what's happening around me. it's comforting to know that though people may fail us, He won't. ever. :) thank you Jesus.

im looking forward on having this book:
the countdown - 19 days. :) yey. im sure Spraks won't disappoint his fans. ;)

well, i think that's all for now. my eyes wanna close already. i have to get back to my tutee and prepare for tonight's meeting. thanks for dropping by. :)

such a busy week gone. such a busy busy week ahead with Hannah's exams this week till next Monday. i have so much to share.. but i still have no time to update a lot. but believe me, i miss writing. :)

anyway, let's talk about today. how's your Monday so far? the internet connection was so slow sometime last week! it sucks. im glad it's okay now. this afternoon, i accompanied my Aunt to see an obstetrician, and she did an ultrasound. but the doctor left already when we were just about to enter the clinic.. tsk. so we'll be going back tomorrow morning. my brother and i ate together at Tasty before i came home. the Tossed Noodles with Fried Dumpling was so goood. i don't know if it's really good or it's just me being too hungry, haha! ;) im so sleepy already. after having dinner together with D and my family last night, i slept right after changing my clothes! it's early.. that's a first after a long long time. and it was gooooood. love it! just what i needed. i'll sleep earlier tonight too because im gonna crash already. till next! will you come back? :) ciao. buona notte.

Happy 23rd Birthday KARA!! :)

Hans!

Happy Happy Birthday Lil' Bro! :)

Achi loves you so much. :)

im so so sad. :(

no words.

random Saturday

A dog has no use for fancy cars, big homes, or designer clothes. A water log stick will do just fine. A dog doesn't care if your rich or poor, clever or dull, smart or dumb. Give him your heart and he'll give you his. How many people can you say that about? How many people can make you feel rare and pure and special? How many people can make you feel extraordinary?

i watched this movie today on DVD and it's beautiful. :) the last part is a bit sad because Marley died. dog lovers would love this film. i always want to own a dog, a little one. but sometimes im scared when i see one at streets especially when i think it's following me, haha! what an irony. someday when i live in a bigger house and not in a building, i hope to own a dog like Marley - a thoughtful, loving, and loyal dog. :)

i went to church tonight and heard that im assigned to share this Thursday night during our Bible Study Meeting. and honestly, im scared to death!! yes i want to talk all the time and i love to talk. but i can't stand in front of a lot of people, with all those curious eyes staring at me. oh no. just the thought of it makes me wanna cry already. *sigh* but i know that it's not me, but the Lord in me will do it. im nothing really. but even so, He bought me with a great price. :) and for that im really thankful. because of Him, i have a future to look forward to. :) hay. please pray for me, that all these fears in me would go away. i hope i can make it. err, He'll make it. im sure. ;)

so after church, to cheer myself up a bit, my cousin and I walked all the way to McDo to buy twister fries. yum! :) it's so good because it was newly cooked when we arrived. funny how little things can make someone happy. even for just awhile. :)

off to bed. goodnight all! :)

Bru.

Happy Birthday to you..
Happy Birthday to you..
Happy Birthday
Happy Birthday
Happy Birthday dear Aileen! :)

cold Monday night

after a long day at work, this is what i need - a cup of coffee! :) i LOVE coffee. especially when i have company. a friend or even a book will do. it's Monday again, and while everyone is looking forward to the non-working holiday on Wednesday, im not exempted from work. hay. there's nothing to look forward to for me except the weekend.

on other news, today is D's first day at work at this company in Paranaque. it's far.. and boring because he can't text while at work. but i can deal with that. i think. he said that the people there are great. and im happy for him. :) i hope that he can adjust easily in his new work environment.

while watching the news today, i heard that there's another typhoon coming! i wonder when these crazy weather will end. i have to sleep early tonight because im not feeling so well. goodnight! :)

it was raining again when i woke up. such a sad and gloomy day since yesterday. the whole country is so sad too because of former President Cory's passing. hay. anyways.. after church today, everyone came to our house and had lunch together to celebrate my cousin Aileen's birthday in advance. we had lots of food for lunch! and im still full upto now. hehe. she'll turn 22 on Wednesday (which is a Non-Working Holiday!). being the eldest of us all, she really is someone you'll look up to. :) she's like a sister to me. we see each other every Sunday, and our stories never seem to end. she knows my flaws but still loves me. she's never boring, and with her, it's always fun. and yes, she's one great cook too! :)

the poster up there is made by my cousin Christine. :) it's soo Aileen. ;)

* i love you, Bru! :) *

i don't know what's with the weather, but i think it rained thirteen times today. the rain pours, then stops. then the sun shows up for a while, then here comes the rain again. hm.. as i overheard someone talking this afternoon, the weather seems to be in the extremes. i agree. no wonder people get sick so easily lately. im down with colds. seesh.

im in the kitchen right now waiting for my noodles get cooked, so this is only a three minute post. ha! i love cold weathers, especially during the night. oh, i know you know that already. i love rains too.. just not the walking-in-the-rain-and-your-feet-all-soaked-up part. you know what i mean.

i didn't have a great time at work today, which made me think again of finding a job somewhere else. haay. is it better to work outside? i don't really know. all i want is freedom. i feel suffocated.

anyway, enough ranting. working on some pictures, will post soon! :)

i can hear the wind outside. howling.. bawling.. roaring. i better eat now and sleep. ciao. :)

lately

lately i have been..

..busy doing my brother's homework for school.

..concerned about a lump in me that's getting bigger since the last time i checked on it -

..which lead me seeing two specialists this week.

..preoccupied with work.

..contemplating a little too much about some things.

..wanting a massage badly.

..wishing i could get more sleep and these dark circles under my eyes would go away.

..reading tons of books.

..loving coffee.

***
im happy that it's finally Friday again. :) i think i haven't mentioned before that D had resigned from his work around end of May. he's been trying to find one and this week he's already satisfied with this German company and he's already working on his requirements. yey. :) it's so hard not having work, with all the bills you need to pay. we met after my work and went to a hospital to see his doctor due to some issues he's having but the doctor left early for a meeting so we had early dinner instead at nearby Shakey's. he went to church after bringing me home and here i am, trying to finish some things and update my blog.

i purchased two books this week and im happy with it. :)



some people are against reading Twilight but i think there's nothing wrong with it as long as you don't get so obsessed about it. i've read it before but i just borrowed it from my friend. so i finally bought one for myself, and i'll buy the three other books after i read this, again . that is, if i have time. i find the other book interesting, it has lots of activities you can do at home during rainy days when you cannot go out and get bored. that's why it's titled that way - Rainy Days and Saturdays. I'm Bored. the next time we get bored here at home, i'll try to use it. haha! and i'll let you know how it goes. ;)

i also had a good number of pictures printed yesterday while im waiting for my turn at the doctor's clinic. and im so happy that i have started putting the pictures in the album i bought last month. i hope to finish it before.. hm, the ber months? let's see. :)

that's all for now. will sleep earlier tonight. :)

How Can I Forget?

Jen..

How can I forget..

..the semester we got close in our Logic class and i gave you a mini frame as a gift for your debut!

..the times we spent at the Med Lab and talk about ghost stories about Med Building and scare ourselves to death

..the way how a Double Cheeseburger from Mcdo can make your day, the way you like it - no pickles

..how Stargazers and a BIG bag of Ruffles can make you smile

..the way you make me feel a part of your family - you're the sister i never had!

..the way i cheered for you during the pageant and how proud i was to be your PA, haha! ; )

..our Tagaytay trip on a cold December night with D and XC - 'twas so much fun!

..our PE days - i played the blind role and you were my helping hand - this is so true huh? and how we taught our classmates how to make candles!

..our Rizal days - our prof made us sing in front of the whole class!!!

..the time i sipped your milk tea so it won't spill, even if i don't drink milk teas at all

..the times when you just listened as i cry my heart out

..the time you fought with your little sister's classmate to protect her and i stand amazed as i stood beside you

..the times you'd go to the grocery with me at SM

..the times when we were so crazy about Twilight

..the times we'd walk in the rain at school

..the times where we'd sneak out between boring computer classes and go to the washroom and just talk and talk and talk


i could go on and on.. but all i wanted to say is that i'll never forget all these memories and that im lucky to have a friend like you. : ) who would've thought that a failing Chemistry subject will make two people close like this?! : ) as you go on with your journey as a Senior, even if im not there to have lunch and class with you everyday like before, i'll always be here whenever you need me, just like before. just like how you never failed me. : ) i miss you SO so much! say hello to your family for me! : )

Happy Happy Birthday Jen!! : )

and yes,

Happy 3rd Anniversary to You and XC! : )

how can we forget.. the way XC sang a song for you and gave you a bouquet! : ) D did the same too, and we were laughing together as we shared stories the next day - this day, three years ago. how time flies!! im so happy for the both of you. stay strong! : )

i love you, Best Bud!! : )
