wow, its been seventeen overwhelming years of living. yes, heard it right, i just turned seventeen today. gettin' older. haha. but still the same. i still got this big kid in me. always looking for so much fun and laughter. God has nurtured me through and through even i have several shortcomings. true love. i really believe in the bible scripture which says "i will keep you fruitful even at old age." haha. so much for thinking am sooooo old. haha. but its true. everyday we grow old, every single day we learn something, everyday we become better. fruitful in God's name. an awesome day. even without a blow out party for the celebration, i did manage to be happy as i turn 17. spending the whole day with my family was enough, playing with my cute neph. i couldn't wish for more. hehe. cheers! heres to the next years to be fruitful! God bless!

my summer was spent fine. minus the luxury and the glamour of being in beaches and somewhere else. finding a busy me in a summer job at my family's small architectural business firm. can't help but work over the summer to gain some bucks and spend it elsewhere. haha. being an intern and assistant, i've got my old hobbyback into business. reading books. yes, you read it right. books. i do have a passion in reading novels, i just feel the story right away and its fun to imagine the things being portayed by the author. i started last week. i bought a book authored by funny writer janet evanovich, "one for the money", the first of the stephanie plum books, and to tell you, it was very interesting. having to describe steph plum as a woman who just got out of a bad marriage, lost her job, and no financial source. harsh. yah, but later on she became a bounty hunter. fetchy right. its so funny though some parts could be horrific i'd say. i had finished the book and i am now on my second novel, again written by janet evanovich collaborated with charlotte hughes, "full blast", and as far as i have read, it was such a treat. that's me, finding humor in books. a past time during my internship this summer. books still and are entertaining, even with modern technology, nothing is as slick and simple as a book with a cute cover. hehe. try reading. you'll be able to enhance your imagination.

huhu, sobs, what a dramatic night it was. we, the senior classes, marched through the enlightened red carpet with the spotlight on us as we have the solemn ceremony of "au revoir" high school. its graduation day. true, its sad, but there were mixed emotions. as the candidates for graduation were presented, awards were given, fortunate to get three haha, happiness filled each graduate's heart. every applause rendered to our fellow batchmates came truely from the heart. a very inspiring message was delivered by our guest speaker about how to stay focused despite of the ups and downs in our lives, as an individual striving to have a successful future, living and according to God. truely inspiring. taking the oath to the alma matter was one sad part. i've been in CSI since kindergarten. for twelve years that school became a daily routine, a family, a home. am sure to be dubbed as a "true bonafide student" of CSI. haha, well check my loyalty awards. hehe. we are alumni now. on the verge of a new life transition from an average teen to a mature young adult. graduation is all a student could ask for after all the hardwork, perseverance and strife. i could not be more happy than seeing my family so proud of me. but not to forget the best pals that also were close to the heart. we'll go on seperate ways, true, go on to different universities and colleges, but am sure that we'll always hold on to the promise of "best friends forever". congratulations fellow graduates. 'till then. xoxo.

whoa, looky-looky, its summertime! wow, the beat of summer heat is felt once again. although the sun's heat pierces through the skin, there are so many things to do to feel and enjoy the summer vacation. well, me and my bffs are planning to camp out or perhaps go on to a very wonderful beach and have some summer fun after graduation. and am so looking forward to that. it is most likely to be a farewell party and foremost a send off for college. whee! spells S-O M-U-C-H F-U-N for me. next week will be the much awaited graduation. on april 3rd we'll have our thanksgiving mass and on the 4th, the pledge to alma matter and much to be goodbye high school. busy for practices and for clearance signing althrough out this week. what a summer blast. that's for now. God bless everyone, have one rockin' summer! au revoir! :)

another week to take time and forget worries, moments to see the great suffrage of our Savior. this week would be the holy week in which most of the Filipinos tend to relieve the truth of Jesus' sacrifice. much to that, families would be touring out of town praying in different churches known as "visita iglesia" and many other annual activities done by families in relation to the holy week. aside from taking time to pray, there would be lots of free time, eat much, sleep much. haha. need to pamper myself 'coz next week will be another busy week, there will be practices for the much awaited graduation and signing of clearance forms. haha. i'm spending my holy week at home going nowhere. here i am, gaining weight from so much eating and no way to sweat it out. urgh. gon' do some bible study and feel the essence of the holy week. i actually had some movie marathon yesterday. doing nothing, i sat down and watched 5 movies in a row, and fortunately my eyes didn't pop off. haha. there is still so much to do. who knows, maybe before the week ends, i have seen more movies, atleast 20?. haha. lol. that's my blurb for now, until my next update. Dieu benir! :)

it was just yesterday when i had packed my clothes for retreat camp. its been an overnight of drama and time to relive the memories of high school. when we came to word of life bible institute, our reatreat camp, we all were excited and cooky at the same time. we settled our baggages at the cabins, loitered around and see what's poppin' in wolbi. ofcourse, my cam was on the go. we took lots of pictures as much it'll be the last visit to wolbi. so there was the bible hours, the games, and the much awaited open forum. the night's forum was filled of emotions and made eyes cry. unknown to some, some of my batchmates have kept their feelings and perceptions to one another, and last night was the time they decided to confess and commit.. it is such a sight to see ourselves in front of a gorgeous bonfire openly talking as one big batch or perchance, a family. some did cry, some didn't. each of us took the oppurtunity to apologize, thank each other, and say how much we did appreciate and love our batchmates who were one of the greatest blessings God gave to us. though we have different personalities, views in life, we still continued to prove that we despite every obstacle, challenges we take, we stay strong because of the bonds of friendship that will only get better, and better. reflecting on these things was so memorable. spending time with high school buddies is a treasure to be kept in my heart. time is like a monster that eats up every thing that is left, and much as a month to go before departing from our alma matter, the fortress of the christian, educational institution and from our best pals, we will and shall make the most of it. there is so many things i owe to God, awesome friends, teachers, a very supportive family and a life very colorful. life couldn't get better livin' the christian way. the retreat was sure the cherry on top of my fantastic year as a senior. au revoir. :')

today was no ordinary day. the official last classes were done. so much drama was felt as the teachers sent their feelings out for us, graduating students, of thanks and gratitude in which we much did appreciate. for four years of being together, our teachers have just not been mentors of education but they had also been a good friend and much of a mother and father. leaving them would be sad. huhu. but for sure, in the meer future, our paths would cross again, maybe not in a classroom, but will be in a better setting. aja teachers! love you all much. we'll miss you. thanks for everything. God bless ya'll. peace. :)

whoa, gettin' studious by the moment. its time for some higher level of seriousness. its finals. need to boost up my intellect for the exams. wow, can't believe it that in few weeks time, i'd be marching and gon'get my diploma. whoohoo! but so sad i'll seldomly see my best pals to hang out 'coz each of us will get down to adjust in college. God, for 12 years of my study in CSI since grade school, leaving the educational institution is hard. its where i've grown, been better, and learn much academically, socially and spiritually. i just sneaked out from reviewing. this is mah blog for now. got to study, review, read and bleed. haha. c'yah!!!

whoopee! another fulfilling week has passed. whew, not to mention being a part of a school play. yes my fellows, i had my acting debut. haha. the musical play was entitled "in fairyland". a children's play wherein i participated. hehe. it was such an experience to be a part of a wonderful, colorful production. by the way, my acting-debut character was a frog. yes, a frog. haha. well its kinda cute actually, i got the chance to dress up like kermit the frog from the muppets. haha. we showed for two days, yesterday and last february 21st. the story shows the wonders of God's creation and the must of taking care of them. the story revolves around two very naughty children, jack the wicked boy, and judy the impudent girl. they were taught of a lesson to care for animals and plants in fairyland. there they were disciplined by the wicked fairy who punished them by letting them experience the feeling of being handled the rough way. other characters who added flavor to the story were the wicked fairy, turtle, fairy king & queen, mother earth, the gardener, fairies and the flowers.it was sure tiring 'coz we have to perform two shows in a day but thanks to the applause and praises, it was worth it. that was really a fun experience, being a part of the colorful fairyland. peace. :)
