Oh October!

Hi all! :) it's October already. can you believe it? :) i woke up to a rainy Friday morning and im loving the weather. it makes me want to stay under the sheets all day. :) but i can't. boo. haha. im still home today, because we are repainting our house, and changing the outlets. :) so it's messy here. i can't wait to see the whole thing done. :) we've moved here 13 years ago and it's great to make a few changes now. :) i also think it's the perfect timing since my grandmother went abroad with her sisters for two weeks. :)

Did you notice anything new? yes, i changed the layout of my blog. :) time for some changes right? :) im pretty satisfied with this one compared to the old one. how about you?

Sorry for being quiet here. been too busy with work, work, work, and church stuffs. but you know that i always update whenever i have time right? :) i still got some things done, like finishing Nicholas Sparks' latest book - Safe Haven. :) have you read it? it's beautiful! as always. :) i recommend you to read it, it won't disappoint. :)

I also joined the career outing with some churchmates at Grande Island Resort in Subic. :) it was a fun trip, even if i almost puked while we were riding the boat to get to the other island. i love my room mates, especially Grace. of course. :)

And last but not the least, i finally found the time to renew my passport already! haha. :)

Till here friends! have a great month ahead! :)

No matter how busy you get, you make time for what you choose to have in your life. ♥

we talked over dinner, entertained the visitors, and of course, took pictures too! :) in my previous posts, i talked about having problems with my grandmother, im happy to share that it's better now compared before. :) i think she's her normal self already, the one i missed three years ago. she's now her old, jolly self. :) sure there's still bad times, but i can say that she keeps on getting better each day. thank You Lord. :)

*there's still a lot to share, will post soon! :) goodnight :)

unfortunate events.

last night, grace and i went to visit a gospel friend. im glad that they agreed to go to interview with us and be baptized on Sunday morning. when we were about to leave, the mom was so furious and yelled at us. questioning what we were doing to her daughters, and told us eversince we invited them to go to church, they changed. that they became disrespectful, self-centered and all. it lasted for about ten minutes and we just kept silent. shocked maybe? but there's nothing to say really. because she won't understand us either.

this afternoon, i went to the drugstore to buy something, then i saw this scary-looking man looking at me. and he was paying attention to my every move. so i looked back at him as if saying "what!?". i waited for him and his two friends to finish paying for what they bought and leave the drugstore. i waited for sometime to make sure they won't return. i stepped out, looked around and the coast is clear, but as i reached the corner, i saw the three of them again, looking around to see if there were people and back at me. it's so creepy! so i turned around and thankfully saw a Baranggay Tanod, i told him to please cross the street with me because the guys were really scary and i think they wanted to holdup me. it's embarrassing, feels like im a 6year old girl again, but it really scared me. :( *sigh*

what a day.

im tired.

im tired of the never-ending things needed to be done.

im tired of the noise at home.

im tired of being angry at people not being considerate of others' feelings.

im tired of thinking.

im tired of not being able to get answers.

im tired of the ups.

im tired of the downs.

im tired of the rollercoaster.

and i just want off.

Jen's 23rd

Happy 23rd Birthday to my best friend Jen!! :)

This (Not So Good) Week

this is what surprised me Tuesday night. my grandmother beside one of the cabinets that housed some of my things. i asked her what she was doing and she was just so furious. this then led to unpleasant conversations and yelling that left me crying all night. i didn't answered back anymore because i know it will only make things worse than they already are. she's really not herself and i just don't understand her anymore.

and here comes Basyang (the typhoon). the wind howled all night and lights were out. and it was a really sad sad night. one of the saddest i can remember and it feels like im so lost.

fast forward to today. Sunday. the grownups went to a party during lunch, so i, together with my brother and two cousins, went to the mall to pick up a book i pre-ordered at Powerbooks. :)

got it! :) Crazy Love by Francis Chan. :) i got many books now waiting to be read. hmmm.. it's all goood. :)

we stopped by Cerealicious to snack and rest for awhile.

About A-hoy : coco pops, chips ahoy, choco kisses

Pirates of the Cadbury-ean : koko duo, cadbury zip, oreo

Jumango : cornflakes, mango, honey crumble

it was gloomy and raining on our way home and it reminded me again of what these past few days had brought me. *sigh*
