Dear Past..

2011 went terribly fast, and by terribly fast I mean, 2011 actually had everything in it. Failures, success, first love, heart aches, heart breaks, expectations, disappointments, dreams, happiness... 2011 has truly been one hell of a ride. 

*allow me to use Taglish though it is prohibited, things are better expressed through this language, so, bear wit me. Haha. This'll probably be a long post so.. Read on.

FAMILY

Let's just keep this.. private. Haha. :> Everything's fine and awesome. Though there are tough times, we still manage to keep the love alive. (Naks.) 

SCHOOL (and everything related to it...)

Isang malaking part 'to ng buhay ko. As in. Sabihin na nating corny, jologs, pretentious ang dating but it's true. Actually, kung walang school, parang, 'di ko alam kung saan ilulugar ang sarili ko. Ako kasi 'yung tipong.. Walang ibang alam kundi ang mag-aral. This is not boasting ha!! I mean, wala akong talent. 'Di ako marunong sumayaw (wag niyo ko pasayawin please), kumanta, umarte and such. Wala akong alam na instrument na tugtugin. Ang alam ko lang, sa organ, (334454321223322), 'di ko pa perfect tugtugin. Wala akong alam na sport. Pag matagal na takbuhan, hinihingal ako. 'Yung puso ko, 'di kaya 'yung mga ganon.. So, kung walang school, wala talaga akong pupuntahan. This year, school has been, a roller coaster. At one point, I was really enjoying it pero the next day halos baliktarin ko na mundo sa sobrang pagod dahil dito. Minsan tinatanong ko pa nga sarili ko, "Normal na buhay ba 'to ng isang teenager. Ba't yung ibang estudyante, ang liit ng bag, walang eye bags, nakakapag party party pa? Samantalang ako, kami walang zombie." Pero, at the end of the day, na realize ko na, kundi rin naman dahil dito sa mga hinayupak na gawain na 'to, 'di ko maabot mga pangarap ko. 'Di ko malalaman mga bagay na alam ko ngayon, 'di ko marerealize na mahalaga pala ang torque, ang center of gravity, ang median, ang mean deviation at kung ano ano pa. (Pero minsan tinatanong ko pa rin sarili ko kung para san 'tong mga 'to.. haha) Sa bigatin naming mga teachers, 'nung una, nakaka-intimidate talaga. 'Yung tipong, 'baka kainin ako nito' pero, 'di naman pala. soya lang pala. Sa tingin ko, basta't marunong ka lang sumunod, gumawa ng maganda, maging matiyaga, things will go smoothly.

Tip #1: Listen, write down, write down.

'Di lang 'to applicable sa mga lectures, applicable to sa lahat ng sasabihin ng mga teachers. Maski mga save/remember the dates pa 'yan o 'di kaya'y mga simpleng wrong grammaring nila, maganda kung mate-take down mo. I suggest na magkaron ng handy dandy notebook at hatiin ito sa tatlong part. First, to-do list/things to bring/dates to remember. Second, Your Personal Dictionary. Eto yung para sa mga wrong grammaring at spell checks  na mapagdadaanan mo, ng teacher mo at mga kaibigan mo. Third, scribble, doodle, pilas-sulat-tiklop-pasa-sa-katabi. 

Tip #2: Learn to have Teamwork.

No need to expound. Will come very handy. Know your limitations. 'Wag kang abusado.

Tip #3: 'Wag Mapraning

'Wag ka magpanic. Chill lang. Pero minsan mas productive kapag panic mode na e.. Depende naman sa'yo yun.. Learn to manage your time wisely. Unahin ang dapat unahin.. 'Wag na gawin kapag alam mo namang 'di rin gagawa ang classmates mo. (opsss.) 

Tip#4: Matutong Makiusap sa Teacher

Walang mawawala kung magtatanong ka.. 'Di masama ang sumubok. 'Nung una, takot rin akong magtanong / makiusap. Minsan, akala kasi natin, kung anong sinabi, 'yun na. 'Di na mababali ang utos ng hari, pero, ang hindi natin alam, maunawain naman pala at, pwedeng idaan sa pacute na usapan.. Konting puppy doggy eyes tapos, 'ang ganda/pogi' eh, baka pwede na. Pero, kung 'di pumayag.. Eh malas. Note: Pipiliin niyo lang ang pakikiusapan, makiramdam kumbaga. Baka kasi ma-kombo nang 'di oras. Saklap non.

Tip#5: Enjoy.

Minsan ka lang dadaan 'jan, jusko utang na loob i-enjoy mo na! Gawin mo na laaht ng gusto mong gawin. Loljk. I mean, make every second count. 

Tip#6: If all else fails, run to God.

'Nuf said. Siya na. Siya na talaga. Everything else will fall into place basta't nilapitan mo siya. :) He never fails to save us.

Going back, school has been, awfully nice. Kahit mahirap, keri lang! Dahil at the end of the day, everything will pay off. Soon, we will all be harvesting the sweet fruits of our labor.

FRIENDS

This year has been special because of these people. The people close to my heartttt. (Ewww cheesy)

-NYIP

Jusko sawang sawa na ko sa mga muka netong mga 'to. HAHA. Kidding aside, they are the best friends ever. *Teary eyed habang sinusulat to.* Actually, I can't imagine going to school without them. Kaya, natatakot akong magcollege e. Kasi alam kong, iba na yung magiging umaga ko. 'Di na ko papasok ng room tapos uupo kasama nila, magrereview, magchichismisan, magtatawanan. Kung pwede lang 'di kami maghiwahiwalay. (Sino ba kasing aalis ha! Sino ba. Paslangin na nga.) They are not just my friends. They are my sisters. And, I can't imagine life without them. Thank you, just, thank you for the almost three years of legit friendship. I love you. I thank God for giving me friends like you and I cherish everything. Every single moment that we had. 

-MNL

Shempre, mahalaga kayo. Shempre, 2011 was special dahil sa inyo. Kahit rough start, we were able to get through it. We were able to establish a family. I was truly blessed nung napasama ako sainyo. Every single one of you gals. You make MNL special. I love you galsss! :)

-MLYBT

Alam niyo namang mahal ko kayo 'di ba? Tagos sa buto, lagpas sa laman, abot sa laman-loob. We are not just batchmates, not just friends, but we are a family. Nasaksihan niyo ang lahat, nasaksihan natin ang bawat moment. Every success, every downfall. You will always have this special place in my heart. 'Di ko kayo malilimutan. Never ever ever. :) Nalagpasan na natin ang mga iba't ibang problema, natawanan ang lahat ng mga uri ng mga jokes, kinalaban ang mga kumakalaban, at eto, andito pa rin tayo. Standing strong and proud. I could say that we truly rock. \m/

-Domdomdomdom. =))

Hi Best. :) I thank God for sending you. Kahit ang sama sama mo sakin. Thank you. Thank you for being there for me, for understanding, for laughing with me. You are the best. Remember that I'll always be here for you. Kahit anong mangyari. Every heart break. =)) I'm here. Sa lahat ng ampalaya moments mo, I'm here. I'll translate deep Filipino words for you. HAHA. Basta. Alam mo na yon. Labyuu Pangs! >:D<

LOVE

HAHA. Wala ata ako nito this year? Pero lol sige na nga. May dumating tapos umalis. Meron namang  andiyan lang tapos umalis.. Pero sige wala e.  Anyway, love shall find it's own way. Mag-aral muna tayong lahat. There are more important things. :) Kung dadating, edi.. Dadating. :) Pero jusko naman 'wag naman masyadong matagal dumating. Mamaya deds na ko wala pa rin. =))) JOKE. 

LIFE IN ITS SIMPLEST AND SWEETEST FORM

This years has been awesome. Kahit na may mga tough times, nakayanan pa rin. I thank God for that. Narealize ko na napakaraming mga bagay na dapat ipagpasalamat. I was once hurt. I even cried for days. Pero narealize ko na napakaraming mga bagay na mas mahalaga, and that I should learn from my failures. As I bid farewell to 2011, I do hope it takes away every heart ache, every bitterness, every sadness, every failure. And as I welcome 2012, I am positive that this would be a better year, that this would be the year I really start to explore, to excel and to achieve my dreams. 2012 will be my year, if not, I'll still make it my year.

On Break...

So I've been on a long blogger vacation. Last entry was way, way, way back. Talk about all the troubles of school, social life and life at its simplest form. It's not the easy to handle everything you know. (The Dilemmas of a Teenager *hahaha*)

With a series of the so-called 'marathon teaching' comes the so-called 'ultra-mega-super-duper-marathon-deadline-for-requirements'. Third quarter was really really fast. But its requirements.. Gaah. IP with its partner Thesis.. Projects sprinkled with a dash of Performance Tasks. Long Tests with a pinch quizzes. Name it, we had it. Those sleepless nights came to visit us again. *I really don't know why the week before PT week is the busiest. I mean, WHY.* 

On the brighter side, it's Christmas Time!!! Well, technically, not yet but it's very very near like, 6 days near!! *Sings Chipmunks version Christmas Time is Here* 

Coming up with an outfit + buying all the gifts is a difficult task, I tell you. And to think that we did the 'panic shopping' a day before the party... It was just... nuts!

I bought my friends a notepad from Papemelrotti and yes, for several years, I've been buying my gifts there. While my bestest friends, the cutest pens from Blue Magic. (Spoiler haha.) Circled around the mall for 6 yes, 6 straight hours just to buy gifts, clothes and shoes. 

And this is what happened during the party...


Mass. Program. Raffle.


Mass, of course any occasion must be graced with a mass, so no further explanation needed.
Program... The HSSCB took the initiative to have this short program wherein 3 people dougied (?) and the rest of the program... raffle. To think that there was a long list of winners and I didn't even win. I have really no luck with this kind of things. *sobs* Any who, the raffle prizes were snacks from Oishi I think? And 'cause two of my classmtes won, we were eating while the program was going on. I know. I know it's bad but you know, when the tummy says it's hungry, it really is. :)))


We went up to the classroom, distributed our Jollibee sponsored food... And we started eating.. must-not-talk-about-the-food-cause-it's-delicious-ha-ha-ha. 


So while we were eating.. There was this little commotion outside the room. My friend told me... "Trisha, si chenelyn nasa labas." And I was like.. Baby baby ohhh. Loljk. I didn't really know what to feel and how to react. Everyone was shouting and looking at me and what.. What am I supposed to do when the best part of me was always you... Loljk^2

So he entered and sang Harana.. 


I really appreciated what he did but my mind is set on certain priorities right now. He's been consistent and kind and hardworking and all. I mean, I'm very very thankful for the effort and such, though. :')


Going back to the party.. T'was fun. + the siomai and the barbecue were A+++++++. 


I actually thought Ella See was my partner but it turned out to be KC Ril. *Nice trick.* I also received a lot of gift from friends, not to mention Ira's delicious A+++ cupcake and Jana's cookie. :3


So the 'after party' happened at Raine Do's condo. We watched Easy A then the power died so we just had le 'photo shoot'. 


And of course, here are some snap starting from school up to the after party. :>

This is my.. "what the heck is happening" face.

Us, eating le sumptuous Jayibiiii.

Danger Zone Unite. :>

Nyip-1. Ella See's in Baguio.

Never mind.

So this is how it ends.. There's more to come during this Christmas Break. I'll be blogging about gifts and food.... And stuff! :>


I'll be sending my greetings to you soon! :)


<3,
Ly Li.

SEMBREAK NA!

Ilang linggo rin namin 'tong hinintay. Ilang araw rin naming pinagrosaryo na sana sembreak na. Sana sembreak na. Sana, sembreak na. At laaaaaaaast! SEMBREAK NA TALAGA! :'D

Time to rest, time to reflect, time to enjoy. 

'Yung feeling na matapos ang three stressful weeks, (1st week: week before pt = one of the most stressful weeks ever created; 2nd week: pt week = spell no hw but study x one thousand times.; 3rd week: completion of requirements (spell project) UN atbp.) eh, ayon at natapos rin. At, eto na nga, within our grasp na ang tumataginting na pahinga!

Imagine 12 hours of non stop sleep! Imagine eating everything you find at home. Just plainly imagine REST. Super sarap 'di ba?

Naniniwala ako na well-deserved ng mga taong TUNAY na naghirap ang isang malupit na sembreak. I mean, nagpagod at nag-effort ka nang todo, tama lang na reward-an mo ang sarili mo ng pahinga. Pero, kung wala ka namang ibang ginawa kundi matulog/tumingin sa salamin tuwing klase... Ano ka chixxx? 

Kahit na, sabihin nating mej marami pa rin ang mga dapat gawin over the sem break, (kase 'di naman talaga matutupad yung walang gagawin chuva..) eh dapat, i-enjoy pa rin natin 'to. Let's say... 25% Work 75% Enjoyment. Mapa IP man 'yan, o 'di kaya'y A.Portfolio, lectures o kahit ano pa, find time and MAKE SURE that you make this LAST SEM BREAK AS A HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT a very, very, very memorable one. 

OMGSXZX. Last.Sem.Break.As.A.High.School.Student. Third Quarter na. Parang kelan lang nung...Tapos ngayon biglang...Malapit na pala ang... Graduation! Are we ready to leave the caressing arms of our dear Alma Mater? Ilang buwan na lang ba? Kaunting kendeng na lamang at maghihiwa-hiwalay na tayo...

'Yung feeling na.. YES sa wakas. Kaso, 'yung feeling rin na... PAANO NA? Paano na ang buhay pagkatapos ng High School? May ganon rin pa lang chorva. 'Yung mixture ng saya, lungkot, takot, excitement at iba pang mga chenes! Kasi, sabi nga nila, ito daw abg best part ng pag-aaral. Ang high school. So, paano na nga? 

6 orrrr 5 months nalang. Friends, walang iwanan and limutan ha? 

Ang aga ng chorva ko pero, here goes....

CLBYG, LG, MSBT, MNL, IMG,MLYBT,LPNL

You guys made this hs life of mine very significant. You'll always have this special place in my heart. You guys were there sa mga first chenes, first churva, at lahat ng iba pang mga milestones sa buhay ko.. So, iloveyou guys! (eto na muna for now para may isusulat pa ako para sa inyo sa mga next months)

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 ♥ly

Purpose.

Katatapos lang ng Vocation Seminar naming kanina. May ilang mga madre, may isang pari at maraming priests-to-be. ‘Nung una, kala ko wala lang. ‘Yung parang, vocation seminar… Eh ‘di sige. Tapos, naisip ko rin na baka naman sa seminar na ‘yon, ma-feel ko na tinatawag ako ni Lord. Actually, ‘di ko talaga alam kung anong dapat i-expect ‘dun sa seminar…

Madaming nagsalita, medyo mahahaba pa nga na tipong, nawala na rin yung atensyon ko ‘dun sa mga speaker kasi tinaguriang holy hour ‘yung schedule ng seminar. Biglang kumanta sina brother at ‘wag ka, dinamay pa kami. Na pa ‘Yes Lord. Yes Lord. Yes, Yes, Lord.” Pa nga kami eh. Tinuruan pa kaming maglaba ‘nung mga seminarista. Siyempre, nabuhayan naman kami. Sa wakas… Plenary na. May ilang mga nagtanong,  sa totoo lang, medyo hiniling ko na nga na wala nang magtanong eh, ‘yung tipong, ‘Please tama na. Uwi na tayo.’

Sabi nga ni Mrs. Apol, ‘di naman nila ineexpect na after nung seminar eh bigla nalang maisip namin na magmadre o di kaya nama’y magpari. Siguro, ang aim nila eh ‘yung maipakita sa amin ng ganito pala ang buhay, na marami palang puwedeng mangyari. Dagdag pa ‘ron, siguro gusto nilang at this very moment, hanapin na namin ‘yung purpose namin sa buhay, ‘yung hanapin na naming kung nasaan ba talaga ‘yung puso namin, ‘yung pumunta na kami ‘dun sa path na gusto ni Lord para sa amin. Naks.

‘Eh ‘di ayun nga, natapos ang araw. Sumakay na ako ng tricycle. Ibang klaseng ride pauwi ang naranasan ko. Ewan ko lang ha, pero ang lalim talaga nung iniisip ko. Isama mo pa ‘yung tahimik na motor ng tricycle, as in ‘di talaga maingay, parang wala lang kaya kung anu-ano tuloy ang naisip ko…

Dumaan kami sa isang eskinita - madilim, mapanghi, mabaho. Tapos doon ko na naisip, ‘bat kaya may ganito? May naisip akong ibang tao at nawala yung atensyon ko doon sa dinadaanan namin. Natuon na lang ulit ‘yung atensyon ko nung malapit na sa Greenwoods. Bago kasi dumating ng Greenwoods, may madadaanan munang parang squatters area, ewan ko kung squatters yun o sadyang mahirap na barangay lang. Tapos, may bata sa may kanto, umiiyak. Nakaupo siya sa patung-patong na mga basura, malapit sa dalawang asong naghahalukay din ng basura. Napaisip ako. “Bakit kaya ganito ang mundo? Bakit may mga batang kailangan maranasan ang ganito?” Pagkatapos ‘non, naisip ko na “Sana mabago ko ang mundo.” ‘Yung alam mo ‘yon, ang broad, ang hirap, ang ambitious. Pero, naisip ko lang talaga. Baka ‘yun yung vocation ko? Baka something related to helping people? Something related to changing the world?

Actually, ‘di ko alam kung pano sisimulan. Kung matutupad ko ba talaga. Kung kaya ko.  SANA, makaya ko. ‘Yung bago manlang ako maging deadz eh may magawa akong SOMETHING na makabuluhan. Gusto ko malaman kung anong vocation ko... Kung anong purpose ko... Ito kaya? Or there's something else? Pero bakit ko naman naisip na gusto kong baguhin ang mundo? BASTA. Basta lang siyang pumasok sa puso at isipan ko. May something. Sana. 

Sa Soup Kitchen, naka-encounter na ko ng mga kids na katulad nung nakita ko kanina.. 'Tas parang, sayang yung opportunity sa soup na makagawa ng difference. Ewan. Parang, sana pala ganito ginawa ko, sana pala..  Pero sabi nga nila, everything happens for a reason. So siguro, dapat paghandaan ko muna kung anong dapat gawin. Dapat isipin ko munang mabuti kung ano talaga purpose ko.. 

Ano nga kaya ang purpose ko 'noh?

Gaah. It would be so awesome if I’d be able to do something for the world, wait, ‘wag agad world, kahit yung mga street children lang dito sa may labas ng Greenwoods or basta, kahit ano na magiging first step para matupad ko ‘tong feeling ko na vocation ko…

Ano nga kaya ang purpose ko....

Life is just so precious para sayangin at hindi tuparin ang ‘vocation’ mo. So, find it, fulfill it, live it.

*Ang serious noh? Eto epekto nung seminar sa akin kanina. Kahit na mej inaantok-antok ako, tinamaan pala ko kahit papano. 

September is Awesome

It's been a while since my last post. Friends, it is really hard to top a post about the greatest friendship ever told. What could top MLYBT's 1st year Anniversary? Well, I think it would be the reunion (which is coming so soon). But for now, I just want to share how awesome September has been for me. This is my blog anyway.. *insert whistling emoticon here* 

First on my list is...

SAYAWIT COMPET = CHAMPIONS!

Though this happened during the month of August, I would still include it here. Bear with me okay? :) All the hard work, the practices, the body pains, the sleepless nights were worth it. We actually came to the contest to win! Not third place, not second place but the first place! At last! The girls won over the boys! We still love Lipa, though Honestly, at first we thought that Lipa would a better presentation. Just like the Sabayang Pagbigkas scenario. We prepare with costume and all, they come in their PE shirts, pants and bandanas and they win. Hehe joke lang. Yung feeling na, baka maulit yung sabayan.. Baka maiyak nanaman kami. Finally! Quits na rin kami. No less than no greater than symbols. Just a simple equal sign.

Yung una akala ko talaga second na naman kami sa Lipa. Eh kasi, may isang teacher sinabi na yung sa Lipa, ganito, ganiyan.. Alam mo yung kinakabahan. Jusmio marimar de eskabeche. Yung baka pagperformance na, wala nang energy.. Yung baka may magkamali.. Yung baka walang kumanta.. Lahat ng pwedeng maisip na mishap, naisip ko na ata nung mga moments na 'yon. Pero, thank God, Champions ang Dolls! 

Pre-compet picture taking!

Practice makes perfect. But then again..

Friends.. :)

Coke had this thing in our school.. Miss Phils. Earth 2011 was there.. So here, the beauty queen + us =
mga aliping saguiguilid.

Dear Lipa, 

Belat panalo kami. De joke.Ayan, quits na tayo ha. One all hehe. Last year na naman e. Buti pinanalo niyo na kami.. HAHA.  Ang ganda rin nung sa inyo! As in. Sana pwedeng combined noh? Thanks nga pala sa pagsalo nung sa 21. Hehe. Labyuol.

Next in line is...

Our very awesome MLYBT shirt. I mean, come on guys, we waited for this shirt for almost 5 or even 6 months. That great feeling that.. FINALLY! :') The long wait sure was worth it. I mean, what shirt could even top this huh? WHAT.

And yes, this was labored within 5-6 months. Hologram shirt FTW.

Actually, we also consider September as MLYBT Appreciation Month.. But then again.. Every month is MLYBT Appreciation Month okayyy. :)

Next up...

The successful opening of the Science Month... As part of the Pasig Catholic College - Physics Association (PCC-PA), we were tasked to plan, organize, execute (and every other word that goes along with it) the said event. Though the opening was not flawless, it was still successful and the student's were able to play and enjoy the event even for just a few hours.

PAians, say Hi!!!

Pag eto talaga yung shirt design namin, papaparty ako sa KFC. =)))

Fourth on my list is...

18th Division Secondary Schools Press Conference

Certificate of Participation, Certificate of Recognition, Winning Piece

Ang sarap nung feeling na hindi balewala yung pagsabak mo sa ganon.. Yung may naiuwi kang something. Yung, kahit papano nakapagbigay karangalan ka.. 'Nung una, 'di naman talaga ako umaasa na magkaplace yung isusulat kong article.. Yung parang, wala lang. I came there for the experience and kung manalo, bonus na ni God 'yon. Tapos, habang nagsusukat kami (first category) Pagsulat ng Lathalain, yung unti-unti nang pumasok sa isip ko na.. Gusto kong manalo. Maganda kung manalo ako. Sana manalo ako. Dapat manalo ako. Then, I just wrote what I felt. Yung, kung ano pumasok sa isip gora, yung kung anong dinidikta ng puso, sundin (nuxx).. Eh guess what. Social Networking yung pinaka iniikutan nung theme.. Tapos, nung Pagsulat ng Lathalain, lumipat na kami sa iba pang mga categories na mas madudugo.. To cut the long story short, my article placed 7th among 18 schools from the division of Pasig.. Each school has 2-3 representatives. So, parang, Thank You Lord talaga!! PCC bagged 7 different awards my friends. :')

Fifth on my list...

Report cards, congratulatory letter, merit cards!!! 

Actually, natatakot talaga ko. 'Yung parang 'bat pinadaan ko yung first quarter na ganon lang.. + All negatives thoughts times ten. After receiving le card and le merit cards, super thankful talaga ako. Kasabay ng pagiging thankful ay ang mind set na mas pagbutihin ang mga bagay bagay. :)

Sixth...

Yung.. INTRAAAAAAAAAAAMS! 

So we have this year-round intramural. This month's games are Volleyball and Basketball. Siyempre wala volleyball ako kasali. Siyempre 'di naman ako maglalaro kasi takot ako sa bola. Siyempre lampa ako. Siyempre ni jackstone nga 'di ako marunong e.... Going back.. 2 straight years na kaming champion ng Vball. 'Tis gonna be our threepeat. Nanalo kami kanina sa basketball. Eh siyempre si Eunice asamin.. Kaya niya nga ata tug-o-war kahit siya lang mag-isa e. Nako jusko, 'di niyo knowing kung gano kalakas 'tong it na to. Vball, mej 'di pinalad PERO DATAPWAT SUBALIT, babawi kami. We shall!!!! Wait may alam pala akong game... Yung roller coaster.. Yung tatakbo na parang hamster. Ano yun nalang laruin natin forever ano ha ano. :))

Ganto yung itsura ng Roller Coaster. Pero sako yung ginagamit namin. Sakong super laki.. As in.. SAAAAAAAKOOOOOO. Tapos, 10 players sa loob. Tapos ayon. Gugulong na kayo.

To sum it all up, the half of September has been very very awesome. Lahat ng positivity nasa September na ata. Next week, Jail Apostolate, College Fair. The week after that, OUTBOUND!! The greatest school activity ever!! Will blog about that siyempreee. 

Depende sa tao kung gaano ka-awesome or ka-great magiging ang mga buwan na dadaan sa buhay niya. I mean, nasa mindset rin kasi 'yan e. Nasa, thinking, way of living.. Ganon. Kase, isipin mo, start a day na badtrip ka, all through out, badtrip ka na talaga at lalo lang lumalala ito as the day goes by. Eh pano pa kaya kung yung buwan mismo? Ang pangit. Ang negative. Dapat, lagi lang positive. Sige nga, anong kabutihan ang maidudulot ng negativity at pessimism sa buhay ng tao? Wrinkles lang dala 'non mga friends. 

Always wear a smile. Always look for the brighter side of everything. 

Hindi ka ginising ng Diyos para sumimangot.

Ngiti lang, maayos din 'yan. 

Happy First Year MLYBT! :')

August 27, 2010 

The day that marked the the friendship stronger than any other, the day that started something called, forever.

We were strangers, starting out on a journey...


Eto talaga 'yung mga moments na.. Awww. Ang sarap magreminisce. Akalain mong, one year na pala? Actually, one year and a day. Yung feeling na dito nagsimula ang lahat. So eto na nga yung kwento... 

MSBT: Pretty, kind, cool, happy, positive, gorgeous, curvaceous, admirable girls. These girls really strive to give their best in everything that they do. They never settle for anything less. Sila yung mga ladies na binusog sa humility ng nanay nila. Sila yung mga ladies na may joy joy joy down in their hearts. Sila yung mga namimiss ko ngayon. Sila yung, walang katulad. :') Sila na talaga. 
di ba masyadong halata na section ko 'to....

MLYBLY: Counterpart ng msbt. Boy version namin. Super babait ng mga tao dito. Napaka. As in. Yung tipong, pipicturan ka at your worst tapos, ipopost sa fb, tapos gagawan ng video.. Tapos, lolokohin ka na may pasok kahit wala naman talaga.. Yung mga gentlemen na hahayaan kang tumayo basta sila nakupo.. Yung tatawanan ka pa kapag may kagimbal-gimabal na nangyari sa'yo.. Ayon. Ganon sila kabait. :)) 

Sabayang Pagbigkas: Isang patimpalak para sa buwan ng wika na, sa totoo lang, kinareer 'to ng section namin.. 'Yung gabi na umuuwi dahil sa practices.. Yung kahit masakit sa katawan at bulsa.. Yung okay lang talaga kasi alam naming bongga yung kalalabasan..


Yung araw na ng contest: 'Yung  tipong 'yung ibang performers, manghang-mangha sa performance niyo. 'Yung tipong enjoy na enjoy na lahat ng tao sa performance niyo. Naalala ko pa, sabi nung isa sakin, "Wala na, gusto na naming umuwi, nakakawala na ng gana magperform." Tapos, sabi ko naman.. "Kapag yung performance niyo, mas maganda kaysa samin, 'di na tayo magkaibigan." Tapos, eto na, nagperform na nga sila... Eh jusko. Ano ha. Yung feeling na, alam mong yung mga sections lang namin ang naglalaban for the first place... After sometime, inannounce na rin yung winner tapos, tapos, tapos, second kami.. Sabi ko.. 'Di ako iiyak. 'Di ako iiyak. Tas may nakita akong umiyak.. Umiyak na rin ako. :'( Kasi, yung feeling na, akala mo sapat na yung binigay mo 'tas hindi pa pala... 


But despite that.. (And to cut the long story short) Pumunta sila sa room namin, tapos binigay nila yung trophy nila sa amin which really made us cry and... awwwww. as in, just the thought that binibigay nila sa amin yung trophy, ewan ko. Words aren't enough para i-describe e. Yung ang sarap ng feeling. Yung, ganon sila ka-thoughtful. Yung ganon sila kabait na ayaw nila makita kaming umiiyak na.. ahhh. *teary eyes right now.* After pa 'non, kinantahan pa nila kami ng Joy joy joy! 'Yung, enebe the best talaga tong Mlybly. 


Here are some snaps.. :') *bat ako naiiyak ng onte. kainis*

Yung.. Hi Maurice. :>

Kelan pa kami nagkaroon ng step na pampusa... Ay wait. Eto yung.. 'Di ako bakla. Tantantan..

Yung totoo Dorothy, ANYARE?!!!!!!!!!!

'Yung tipong, mej picture picture muna bago ang semis..

Sila. Ang mga chenes nila. San ka pa, black shirt + panyo = CHAMPIONS! :')

Yung, tipong.. Anong tinuturo niyo.. "Im, im, im-pak-m,.."

I just miss you guys!! :'(

Yung feeling na.. ANO REUNION NA!! :))

They'll have this special place in my heart forever. :')


Dear MLYBT,
You guys know that I'll love you forever 'di ba? Na, despite what we've been through, kahit na hiwahiwalay na ang ilan sa atin, alam nating we are here for each other. Da best talaga kayo. Miss ko na kayo. Happy Anniversary! "If I had only one friend left, I'd want to be you.. " Kaya lang 'di lang kayo one.. Ayos lang naman 'di ba? :D  Kung may time machine lang, babalik-balikan ko yung lahat ng memories ng Mlybt. Kahit after ilang years, kahit gaano na tayo kalayo sa isa't isa, kahit anong mangyari, you'll have this special place in my heart.

What's Playing .02 (Party Party)

'Cause staying up late or even not sleeping is a trend these past few weeks, this month's WP will contain the songs I usually play during lamay modes. 

*lamay mode: ang pagpupuyat ng mga mag-aaral ng pcc para matapos ang mga requirements

But before the playlist, I will first share some tips on how to successfully stay up late (or even not to sleep)

LAMAY MODE TIPS 101

#1 'Wag kang mag-aattempt na matulog bago gumawa. 

-Yung mga lines na.. "Tulog muna ako for 30 mins. tapos, gagawa na ko." 'Di effective 'yon pramis. 'Wag kang magtitiwala sa pag idlip. Tinatakam mo lang lalo ang sarili mo, resulting to lalong paghanap ng katawan mo sa tulog. Minsan pa nga, kugn minamalasmalas ka, 'dederetso na tulog mo at magigising kinabukasan. Kung gagawa ka, gumawa ka na. Mindset na na work. work. work.

#2 I-prioritize ang mga gagawin.

- Gawin muna yung mga bagay ng for the next day. Alangan namang gawin mo yung pang thursday tapos 'di mo gagawin yung pambukas? It's a matter of prioritizing things.

#3 Humanap ng pagkain / energy drink / drink na magpapagising sa'yo.

- Kape, Milo, Coke, Chocolates, Skittles? Meron 'yan. You just need to find it. Try niyo Gatorade + Extra Joss. :)

#4 Listen to songs like this.

1. Party Rock Anthem - LMFAO

2. Black and Yellow - Whiz Khalifa

3. Dynamite - Taio Cruz

4. 2012 - Jay Sean

5. Super Bass - Nicki Minaj 

6. Rocketeer - Far East Movement 

7. Whip My Hair - Willow Smith

8. Raise Your Glass - Pink

9. Like A G6 - Far East Movement

10. 21 Guns - Green Day

And The Dolls Became Zombies

Last Friday Night..

Yeah we danced on table tops..

And we took to many shots..

Think we kissed but I forgot..

Last Friday Night.

This has been the longest lapse between my posts. (yet) I never really thought that the lapse would be this long. My apologies. HUHUHU. :)

So the main reason for the blogless weeks was school. Typical school for fifteen year old students.. You know.. Practices, projects, homeworks, research.. All in one day. Just the typical things. Not enough sleep for four days.. Not sleeping for a day.. Nothing new. HAHA.

Naalala ko pa. Grabe may isang araw talaga na nakita ko lahat ng mga classmates ko. Tulaley. As in bangag. As in mga nakanganga. Mantakin mong natutulog 'yung mga tao sa likod nung isang subject. Mantakin mong ang mga 'dolls' ni mudra M. ay naging mga zombies. 

At this point in time, well deserved ng buong MNL ang rest. I mean. Rest na totoo. Hindi yung rest na peke. :)) Rest pero gumagawa pa rin ng mga bagay pampaaralan? Yung rest na rest na rest na rest. Yung tipong gagawin mo lang yung mga bagay na makakapagpasaya sa'yo buong araw.

Reasons why we need TRUE REST:

#1 We survived PT week but then we didn't have the chance to celebrate that much.

- 'Di ba pagkatapos ng isang paghihirap, karapatan ng taong magsaya dahil na overcome niya ito? 'Yon. 'Di kami masyadong nakapag party party dahil may something na dumating at kailangan naming unahin yonnn.

#2 We are no longer  dolls. ZOMBIES na.

- Mudra M called us zombies. Zombies. Dood. Kala ko ba dolls kami. Ganun na ba kami ka stressed? As in, eye bagsssss? Lalo ko napatunayan na zombies kami nung lahat kami gising pa nung madaling araw. As in. Teka, kala ko magpapalit kami ng dp na zombies..

#3 We accomplished two major projects in a week's time.

- Isang nung Wednesday at isang Thursday. Buti nalang napaki-usapan at naging Friday. Sobrang bait talaga ng aking godmother. HARHAR. Effor yun ha. Buti nga dun sa isa, nakatulog ako kasi tinapos ko nung sunday. Eh yung isa, jusko. Wala talagang tulugan. Derederetso. 

#4 Four days kaming kulang kulang ang tulog.

- Dahil nga sa sobrang daming ginagawa at sa practices, ayun, two hours, three hours.. Ganun lang yung tulog namin. Hobby na ata namin ang magpuyat? Yung feeling na bespren mo na ang kape at chocolates. Yung feeling na, dadating ka ng school nang maaga para ipagpatuloy ang mga gawain, kakain ka sa recess, magnanakaw ka ng idlip sa lunch tas gigising ka para gumawa ulit ng requirements. Yung ganong feeling ba..

#5 Yung hindi kami natulog nung Friday pero todo cheer parin kami for PCC's basketball team sa UCSAA.

-Super dooper major major cheer kami for PCC that time. Nga pala, season 1 ng UCSAA. Abangan niyo sa unTV yung game hahaha. *Di kami yung nagbato ng bote at the end of the game ha. Super duper saya 'non. Wala pa kaming tulog niyan ha! Ganun pala 'yon. Kapag wala kang tulog, mas nababangag ka kaya taas ng energy level mo. Lols. Wala nang kakabog pa sa energy namin nung araw na 'yooooon.

#6 Kahit wala kaming tulog antaas pa rin ng energy namin.

- Ayun nga, kapag pala wala kang tulog antaas ng energy mo? Makirot sa ulo pero, mataas pa rin yung energy. Ewan ko. Ako lang ba o.. Pero sila rin naman e. Bangag bangag nung 'di kami natulog. Ano, 'wag nalang kami matulog forever?

#7 One week ko silang kinantahan ng LAST FRIDAY NIGHT

- Hindi ko alam kung saan nagsimula ang pagkahumaling ko sa LFN ni Katy Perry. 'Di naman 'to ganun ka bago pero, alam mo yon. :)) Nung una ang alam ko lang ay.. LAST FRIDAY NIGHT. Tapos, nagresearch, nakinig. At ayon, kawawa ang mga classmate ko. Isang linggo *inlcuding weekends nila narinig ang LFN version ko. LOLS. Hahanap ako ng ibang kantang pwedeng idedicate sa kanila pero for the mean time, magtiis sila sa LFN. *insert evil laugh na todo todo here*

#8 We still manage to give our best in each of our endeavors despite the adversity we face. (Syet english yon.)

-Kidding aside, alam mo 'yon, kahit bangag na. Kahit puyat na. Kahit todo todong pagod. Kahit puro reklamo kami sa Twitter / Facebook / walang magawa eh ginagawa pa rin naman yung todong effort. Kaya lang naman kami nagpupuyat at 'di natutulog dahil binibigyan namin ng effort ang aming mga ginagawa. We do our best sa mga bagay na ipinapagawa sa amin. Yes we rant. Yes we make reklamo yes to everything negative na pwede nilang sabihin tungkol sa amin pero one thing's for sure, MNL never settles for less. Ibinigay talaga namin yung todo sa mga bagay na ginagawa namin. Samahan mo ang effort at excellence ng mga matatamis na ngiti at solb na solb na. WE NEVER FORGET TO SMILE AND TO STAY HAPPY. :DDDDD

Dear MNL,

Uy! HEHE ano kamusta na ang mga batang walang tulog? I-enjoy ang saturday ha! :> Let us stay happy and positive at ipagpatuloy lang natin ang pagbigay ng best sa lahat ng ginagawa natin. 'Yung paksyon na meron sa room (yung sabi ni sir.) alam kong unti unti nang nawawala!!! Kasi, yung kanina, jusko evidence yon. ANONG PAKSYON HA. Walang paksyon. IISA LANG ANG MNL at LAHAT KAMI SABAY SABAY, HAWAK KAMAY, susugurin ang tugatog ng TAGUMPAY. Makikita ni... At kakainin ang .... Saveh? :)) Basta, alam ko mawawala na yung paksyon na yon :> I-enjoy na muna naitn ang weekend at tayo'y magttrabaho muli next week! :) LEZ DO DIZ.  Happy Birthday Eunice! :)

A Father's Rules For Finding Fulfillment

A FATHER'S RULES FOR FINDING FULFILLMENT

Be courteous, be punctual, always say please and thank you, and be sure to hold your knife and fork properly. Others take their cue on how to treat you from your manners.

Be kind, considerate and compassionate when others are in trouble, even if you have problems of your own. Others will admire your selflessness and will help you in due course. 

Show moral courage. Do what is right, even if that makes you unpopular. I always thought it important to be able to look at myself in the shaving mirror every morning and not feel guilt or remorse. I depart this world with a pretty clear conscience. 

Show humility. Stand your ground but pause to reflect on what the other side are saying, and back off when you know you are wrong. Never worry about losing face. That only happens when you are pig-headed.
Learn from your mistakes. You will make plenty so use them as a learning tool. If you keep making the same mistake or run into a problem, you’re doing something wrong. 

Avoid disparaging someone to a third party; it is only you who will look bad. If you have a problem with someone, tell them face to face. 

Hold fire! If someone crosses you, don’t react immediately. Once you say something it can never be taken back, and most people deserve a second chance. 

Have fun. If this involves taking risks, so be it. If you get caught, hold your hands up. 

Give to charity and help those who are less fortunate than yourselves: it’s easy and so rewarding. 

Always look on the upside! The glass is half full, never half empty. Every adversity has a silver lining if you seek it out. 

Make it your instinct always to say ‘yes’. Look for reasons to do something, not reasons to say no. Your friends will cherish you for that. 

Be canny: you will get more of what you want if you can give someone more of what they desire. Compromise can be king. 

Always accept a party invitation. You may not want to go, but they want you there. Show them courtesy and respect. 

Never ever let a friend down. I would bury bodies for my friends, if they asked me to . . . which is why I have chosen them carefully. 

Always tip for good service. It shows respect. But never reward poor service. Poor service is insulting. 

Always treat those you meet as your social equal, whether they are above or below your station in life. For those above you, show due deference, but don’t be a sycophant. 

Always respect age, as age equals wisdom. 

Be prepared to put the interests of your sibling first. 

Be proud of who you are and where you come from, but open your mind to other cultures and languages. When you begin to travel (as I hope you will), you’ll learn that your place in the world is both vital and insignificant. Don’t get too big for your breeches. 

Be ambitious, but not nakedly so. Be prepared to back your assertions with craftsmanship and hard work. 

Live every day to its full: do something that makes you smile or laugh, and avoid procrastination.

Give of your best at school. Some teachers forget that pupils need incentives. So if your teacher doesn’t give you one, devise your own. 

Always pay the most you can afford. Never skimp on hotels, clothing, shoes, make-up or jewellery. But always look for a deal. You get what you pay for. 

Never give up! My two little soldiers have no dad, but you are brave, big-hearted, fit and strong. You are also loved by an immensely kind and supportive team of family and friends. You make your own good fortune, my children, so battle on. 

Never feel sorry for yourself, or at least don’t do it for long. Crying doesn’t make things better. 

Look after your body and it will look after you. 

Learn a language, or at least try. Never engage a person abroad in conversation without first greeting them in their own language; by all means ask if they speak English! 

And finally, cherish your mother, and take very good care of her. 

I love you both with all my heart.
Daddy x
