random... howdy? :)

my summer 2010 began with an amazing news.. i passed all of my subjects and might even end up on the dean's list, effortlessly and for the first time.. i hope daddy's proud.. :)

so to reward myself and to complete my summer vacay, i went to bukidnon with my brother and cousins and as always went around and had a reeeeeally great time.. any free time would never be complete without spending some fun and quality time with my cousins.. :)

sad to say, i have to fulfill my scholastic responsibilities so i came home and went into an on-the-job training which is part of our curriculum.. we got accepted in the Development Bank of the Philippines and so far, the people there had been really so nice to us i still enjoy the everyday work though it really knocks me out at the end of the day.. in this training i as well realized that it is still hard for me to be on-time especially in the morning.. i am and will never be a morning person.. hehe.. :)

at home, we have slightly moved on already from dad's passing.. it has been a year already, though it still feels like yesterday.. we commemorated his 1st death anniversary at his ancestral house with family and some close friends..

on a lighter note..

our house has been attacked by a contagious fever.. the FACEBOOK fever! haha!! i dunno when and how it all began.. months ago i was the only one in the family who had a facebook account and the next thing i know, everyone in the house already has one and my mom is already so addicted to it she would really push us out of our seats if we go overtime in front of the computer.. she fights for her facebook turn! haha!! and still about facebook, my uncles and momma had been posting really old and well,.. kinda yucky pictures of us.. majority of the pictures i looked like shit with my really short hair plus zigzag bangs.. hehe.. :)

uhmmm.. what else?..

oh yah.. i haven't seen my close friends for quite some time already.. it's kinda sad to think that we could no longer bond the same way as before since most of them had already graduated and are already busy getting into what the oldies would say as "the real world".. board exams, job hunting.. sad.. :(

-----

will be bonding with my cousins and dads and moms on the 3rd week of May.. so excited i just wanna pee! just kidding.. hehe.. :)

and oh before i'd end this!... watch Glee or you'll miss half.., no.. your entire life! the best show ever ever ever.. mark salling is a delight! :)

the unfortunate laptop..

the laptop at home has been really reliable especially in my blogging career.. and now it has become the most pasaway ever!
i sent it out for repair three times and paid three times as well.. then after its hospitalizations i was super glad to finally use it again.. 2 days after its again efficient use, its charger broke..

S***!!

i owe this blog a number of entries already.. ugh! >:/

the healing words..

i was going through my piled stuff this morning (my books and some readable and writable ones) and i came across the scrapbook that my cousin/sister/bestfriend Ating gave me on my 20th birthday.. so, i opened it again and as i re-read the things that she wrote in there, i just couldn't help but cry.. i immediately grabbed my phone and texted her saying how i miss and love her..

i decided to blog and share the things that she wrote for me in that scrapbook.. and i hope it'll inspire you to go on with life no matter how hard it gets, as much as it inspired me.. here it is..

FIRST PAGE:

April 22, 2009 (40 days after my father's death)

Right now, it might be difficult for you to see where this chapter of your life is heading to.. But rest assured that our God is a God of HAPPY Endings... and NEW Beginnings.

Jeremiah 29:11

"For I know what my plans for you are, plans to SAVE you and not to harm you, plans to give you a future and to give you HOPE." :)

GOD LOVES YOU

SECOND PAGE:

Dearest Apyang,

Happy 20th Birthday! :) Babaeng bente na ka! Twins na pud ta! Haha

I love you bata :) and I miss you. Pyang if ako lang jud ang magbuot sa Ozamiz jud ko mag stay after sa kato Holy Week sa Cebu... pero saon ta man clearance and med school and all. But my heart and prayers have always been with you and your family. You're my sister, bata. Your loss is my loss and your joy is my joy. At times i miss your daddy so much that i need to stop and let the pain pass over. Then i think of all of you and i am reminded to be strong. Pyang, this journal is still empty. And i know that's how you've been feeling for the past 40 days... empty. Writing has always been your passion. And also, writing can be therapeutic. I give you this book to write in when you feel sad (which sadly is often), happy (which i hope to be MORE often), empty, full, irritated, patient... EVERYTHING! If you miss your daddy, write it down... If you recall a moment with him, you can write it down. And as you fill these pages, I pray that Papa God will also fill the emptiness in your heart. Give yourself time. "The Lord remembered us in our misery, God's love endures forever." (Psalm 136:23). He sees and He KNOWS how you feel. And He is telling you that, "Pyang, I am here for you and i love you." In our weakness Pyang, His strength is made perfect. If you feel that everything is too much and you can no longer bear the burden, then lean on Him. And when, not if, you get through that moment you'll realize that He carried you... footprints in the sand, remember? :) Bata, I love you. I believe in you :) I believe in Papa God :) I believe that He is working in you and your family. I thank God for the day you were born.

Always,

Ating

... and now i'm crying again! hehe.. Ating has been with me in everything that I go through since we were kids, along with Jedan. Life really becomes easier when you have people like Ating..

Ting, I love you so much!! I can't wait to see you this Christmas.. :)

saan kaya nagmana ang batang ito?

sus.. kung alam niyo lang ang lahat ng kayang gawin ng batang ito na puro kalokohan, talagang maitatanong niyo kung saan nagmana ang batang ito..

sa program ni kuya migs, nag insist na dalhin ang kanyang plastic tool.. okay fine, payag si tita.. pagdating sa school, pakarga all the time.. laro ng laro sa kanyang tool na parang walang presentation si kuya migs sa stage.. kaya ayan, pinicturan ko nalang..

"booooring!!".. yan ang linya niyang walang kataposan kapag wala na cyang magawa sa buhay.. pero sa panahong ito, nag-iba ata ang ihip ng hangin.. tumahimik siya.. ng ilang segundo lng.. "booooooring!!"

sigaw ng tita, "smile staaaan!!".. at yan ang mga binagay na pose.. hay nako!

nainitan kaya kinuha ang pamaypay ni mommy la, umupo sa hagdanan at talak pa rin ng talak.. napapatahimik nga minsan pero ilang seconds lng talaga! ng napansin na pinipicturan ko cya, biglang nag ala-mowdeel.. yan! haha! kakatawa..

"tita iping nice ayo ako shoes.. pictura ako shoes.." okay! picture naman si titang uto-uto..

at pagdating sa bahay, pinasira ang glasses ng eye glasses kasi gusto niya ng glassess na walang glasses.. ang gulo noh? hehe.. gusto niya ng geeky mode kaya ayan.. muntik pa akong nasugatan sa kakadikdik sa glasses ng kung ano-ano para frame na lang ang matira.. haaaaay buhay..

HOI STAN! BEHAVE KA NGA MINSAN!!

hehehe.. i love you dong.. :D
