When Allergies Attack

I did not go to school today. I was absent and I missed three classes. Although I woke up a little bit later than the usual, I felt bad. I was not really productive. However, I was able to finish our report for tomorrow.

They say that too much of something is bad, and I agree. Now, I'm having allergies all over my two arms. I went to the doctor a while ago and she said, I should not eat chicken, oranges and other citrus fruits, mangoes, and chocolate at the moment. This means a temporary good bye to chicken barbecue, leche flan, mango shake, and chocolate cake. Oh my, those are my favorite foods!

This is like a dejavu. I used to avoid eating them before because of, well, allergies. And it is happening to me again. Torture! (exag.HAHA.) I guess, I have to wait for another two or three years so I could eat chicken barbecue, leche flan, mango shake, and chocolate cake again.

So there. Enough ranting about my allergies. It is my fault anyway. HAHA. I ate too much chicken and chocolate. I think I deserve them. I learned my lesson. v(",)v

Before I end this, I just want to share the song that is giving me the LSS for the whole day. Thanks to David Archuleta. Your song is very catchy. HAHA.

"...Am I crazy or falling in love? Is it real or just another crush?...'Cause I'm trying and trying to walk away but I know this crush ain't going away...why do I keep running from the truth? All I ever think about is you...you got me...so mesmerized and I've just got to know..."

*Oh well, I saw you again...twice yesterday. And this time, we're much closer. Hope to see you soon!*

Would You?

My groupmates and I were thinking about the topics to be discussed for our panel discussion in SPEECOM then suddenly an idea just popped in my head. Though I was totally feeling sleepy at that time, I was able to suggest to take in consideration the topic about reality TV because it’s a fad nowadays. After finishing our list of topics, we presented it to our professor and surprisingly, he chose my idea. Then, he shared something about himself as a fashion designer, and his initiatives about joining Project Runway. We were absolutely amazed! Unfortunately, the school administration did not allow him because he’s working full-time. So anyway, going back to our group, we do not have any problems at all (yet) because most of us have connections (Survivor Philippines, Pinoy Big Brother Teen Edition, Project Runway, and MYX VJ Search). Therefore, we can get information directly from them.

Before we were dismissed in class, we brainstormed and asked questions related to our topic so it would be easier for us to do some research. We enumerated the different reality shows that we know such as the ones mentioned above. We also included the international ones like The Beauty and the Geek and America’s Next Top Model. Though, I can’t really remember if American Idol was there.

I started doing some research and I found out that some people like to join reality shows because it was their dream, they wanted to become famous, they admired models, and the like.

As a student who fondly watches reality TV shows sometimes to lessen the boredom, I can say that there are positive and negative effects on the people who join. On the positive side: First, they have the possibility to become famous because the whole world is able to watch them everyday. Second, they gain new friends because reality TV shows involve meeting new people. Third, they will learn to understand the differences and uniqueness of other people, most especially if they come from other cultures. Fourth, a lot of opportunities will be open for them. On the other hand, the negative side consists of having no privacy, conspiracy, stress, pressure, and even conflict with the members of the family.

A friend once asked me, “If you were given a chance to join, for instance, Pinoy Big Brother, would you go for it?” Well, to make my answer short, I said no for personal reasons. However, honestly, I have plans to join MYX VJ Search next year or the year after the next. And I’m still thinking about it carefully. Anyway, if it is in God’s plan, then let it be.

So, how about you, would you go for it? v(",)v

Don't Talk to Strangers

On my way home to the dorm last Thursday afternoon, a woman with a little girl holding her hand approached me. The woman asked me if I could give them some fare because they couldn’t go home. Of course, I was surprised! Though I wanted to give her what she wanted, I did not get my wallet inside my bag. I said sorry and continued walking. I felt guilty, yes, but I was scared too. Nevertheless, I was thinking about them until I arrived at the dorm. In the end, I decided to only pray for them--- for their safety.

Nowadays, it is not easy to trust people. First, there are a number of bad individuals around. If you are watching the news lately, there are reports about various crimes in the society such as kidnapping, hold-upping, stealing, and the like. They may seem kind and harmless at first, but they can do things to us that depend on their real intention/s. Second, there is a possibility that the people we see in the streets are members of a syndicate. So, as the elders always say, it is better to give them food instead of money because we don’t know where the money we give them goes. On the other hand, we can ask different national civic organizations to support us in helping them. I think, this the least that we can do to help and save them, from the hands of the ones who take advantage of their goodness.

Let me end this entry by saying that it is important to be street smart and to be more careful in our environment. There is nothing to lose. We don’t really know. We can’t really tell. So, ingat! v(",)v

I'm Eighteen!

No right words can fully describe the feelings I had when I turned eighteen last October. I was extremely happy. Special people greeted me. Unexpected people and gifts and a guest surprised me. Even if I did not celebrate it in the grandest way, I still had fun!

My eighteenth birthday is the best so far. It is truly memorable. And I thank God for making me realize how lucky and blessed I am.

However, now that I am eighteen, I have to be more responsible in everything that I do because there are more expectations from me. In line with this, I should set aside my negative vibes and insecurities but keep the positive ones...learn how to forget the bad memories and learn from my mistakes as well. I will strive even harder to achieve my goals in life to become the best that I can be. v(",)v

By the way, I saw Enchong Dee yesterday in school. It was his birthday. My friends called him, but he did not look. HAHA. Anyway, before I graduate, I hope we will become friends. Oh well. HAHA. v(",)v

Mga Kasabihan mula kay Bob Ong

Ilang taon na rin ang nakalipas simula nang mabasa ko ang Stainless Longganisa ni Bob Ong. Hindi siya gumagamit ng mga malalalim na mga salita kaya madali lang intindihin ang mga nilalaman nito. Kahit simple lang ang mga salita, ang isang taong bumabasa nito ay maraming makukuhang aral. Makabuluhan din ang mga ito, kaya talagang mapapaisip kayo. Nakakaaliw!

Nais kong ibahagi sa inyo ang ilan sa mga kasabihan ni Bob Ong. Natuwa ako noong nabasa ko ito sa Multiply site ng aking kaibigan na si Mau. Kaya mga magiliw na bisita at readers ng aking blog, ito na ang mga kasabihan mula kay Bob Ong. Sana ay may mapulot din kayong aral mula sa mga ito. Enjoy!

1. "Kung hindi mo mahal ang isang tao, wag ka nang magpakita ng motibo para mahalin ka niya." (oo nga, kaya wag ka na magparamdam. haha!)

2. "Parang elevator lang yan eh, bakit mo ipagsisiksikan ung sarili mo kung walang pwesto para sa iyo. Eh meron naman hagdan, ayaw mo lang pansinin." (sabi nga sa commercial, "there are many fish in the sea". hindi lang SIYA ang guy sa mundo.)

3. "Pag may mahal ka at ayaw sa' yo, hayaan mo. Malay mo sa mga susunod na araw ayaw mo na din sa kanya, naunahan ka lang." (haay. haha.)

4. "Pag di ka mahal ng mahal mo wag ka magreklamo. Kasi may mga tao rin na hindi mo mahal pero mahal ka. Kaya quits lang." (okay, hindi na ako magrereklamo. haha.)

5. "Hindi porke't madalas mong ka-chat, kausap sa telepono, kasama sa mga lakad o ka-text wantusawa eh may gusto sayo ay magkakatuluyan kayo. Meron lang talagang mga taong sadyang friendly, sweet, flirt, malandi, pa-fall, o paasa." (oo, totoo ito. wag lagi mag-assume.)

6. "Huwag magmadali sa babae o lalaki. Tatlo, lima, sampung taon, mag-iiba ang pamantayan mo at maiisip mong hindi pala tamang pumili ng kapareha dahil lang maganda ito. Totoong mas mahalaga ang kalooban ng tao higit sa anuman. Sa paglipas ng panahon, maging ang mga crush ng bayan nagmumukha ding pandesal, maniwala ka." (oh no! enchong dee?)

7. "Mahirap pumapel sa buhay ng tao. Lalo na kung hindi ikaw ung bida sa script na pinili niya." (tama ito. may tinamaan ata. OUCH! haha.)

8. "Mas mabuting mabigo sa paggawa ng isang bagay kesa magtagumpay sa paggawa ng wala." (tama ulit. kaya wag mangopya o mangdaya lalo na sa exams. tsk.)

9. "Kung nagmahal ka ng taong di dapat at nasaktan ka, wag mong sisihin ang puso mo. Tumitibok lang yan para mag-supply ng dugo sa katawan mo. Ngayon, kung magaling ka sa anatomy at ang sisisihin mo naman ay ang hypothalamus mo na kumokontrol ng emotions mo, mali ka pa rin! Bakit? Utang na loob! Wag mong isisi sa body organs mo ang mga sama ng loob mo sa buhay!" (may sense. haha.)

10. "Tandaan mo: magiging masaya ka lang kung matututo kang tanggapin na hindi ang puso, utak, atay o bituka mo ang may kasalanan sa lahat ng nangyari sayo, kundi IKAW mismo!" (so learn from your mistakes.)

11. "Gamitin ang puso para alagaan ang mga taong malalapit sa'yo. Gamitin ang utak para alagaan ang sarili mo." (enough said. may point ka Bob Ong.)

12. "Walang taong manhid. Hindi niya lang talaga maintindihan kung ano ang gusto mong iparating dahil ayaw mo siyang diretsuhin." (HAHA. HAHA. HAHA.)

13. "Ang tenga kapag pinagdikit, korteng puso. Extension ng puso ang tenga, kaya kapag marunong ka makinig, marunong ka magmahal." (yes, this is true. kaya always listen.)

*Credits to Mau Bacierto for posting this in her Multiply site. v(",)v Happy Halloween! Goodnight! Thank you for visiting!*

Before I Turn 18

I had a great time last night with my close friends, bestfriend Maggie and Kristine. It was really unexpected! Maybe it was fate and destiny. HAHA. Maggie surprised me when she visited me at the dorm. On the other hand, Tin hadn't have dinner yet so I invited her to join us. The three of us wandered around Taft avenue, looking for a place where we could eat our dinner. We ended up in Reyes Barbecue and Flaming Wings, above Yellowcab Pizza. I saw some people from CED too and I smiled at them.

Food trip and bonding moments to the max. We ordered grilled bangus belly meal at Reyes Barbecue. Oh my! We wanted to order more but since we're saving money, we decided not to. We shared stories and laughed a lot as well. After the sumptuous dinner, we went to Flaming Wings downstairs to eat Wicked Oreos for dessert. Yummy! v('',)v

Since I was not able to bring my camera, I searched for the pictures of the grilled bangus belly meal and the Wicked Oreos. Have fun looking at them! *evil laugh* Just kidding. HAHA.

*Bangus Belly Meal and Wicked Oreos. Yummy! Retrieved from Google Images*

And because we did not have pictures together, look what I've got.

*From left to right: Dana and Tin, last year at the dorm; Maggie and Dana, last May at Penshoppe*

So Bestfriend Maggie and Tin, sa uulitin! v(",)v

Update!

One more week to go, and I'm turning eighteen! The time flies by so quickly. And I'm actually speechless. HAHA. What I know right now is that my classmates are instant messaging me in Yahoo Messenger and then asking about our homeworks for tomorrow. Oh! I just noticed. This is also my first entry for the month of October! HAHA. Oh well, I guess, I'm only here for the sake of updating. HAHA. I'm soup-minded again, don't you agree? v(",)v Hopefully, I will have more to share with you next week. I'm hoping that they will have more sense and better than this one too. HAHA. By the way, I would like to greet Ate Phoebe a Happy Birthday! v('',)v

Since I keep on repeating words with "hope", I present to you the song that is giving me the Last Song Syndrome for the whole day. This song happens to be the theme song of Enchong Dee's new show, My Only Hope, as well. v(",)v

People, this is Only Hope by Switchfoot. For me, this is better than the version of Mandy Moore. Have fun! v('',)v

It's Their Time to Shine

Instead of finishing our homeworks due next week, I finally decided to update my blog first. I realized that it has been a week since I last posted here. I did not see Enchong Dee in school last week but it was okay. It's not a big deal for me.

The twenty-fifth of September 2008 is an unforgettable day for all the La Sallians and the Ateneans. It is the day when the Ateneo Blue Eagles became the champions for the season 71 of the UAAP. Chris Tiu and his company showed us that they are a strong team to beat! v('',)v On the other hand, it may be a bittersweet ending for the Green Archers but come next year, they will be more hardworking and determined to achieve their goal. v(",)v

Regardless of what I said above, I think that the game last Thursday was a good one. Although, it made my heart cry when JV Casio, one of best players in the Green Archers team, was out of the court. It was really sad. *sob*sob*s0b*

Anyway, this is Ateneo's time to shine. I'm looking forward to watching more exciting games from the Green Archers and the Blue Eagles. I will see you next year, not in the big screen inside the Z2 Canteen in school, but in Araneta Coliseum. HAHA. v(",)v

Congratulations Ateneo for being the UAAP Season 71 Men's Basketball Team Champions!

Blush

I unexpectedly saw the person who makes my heart beat ten times faster in school. HAHA. Because I was mesmerized by his presence (we were 1 meter away from each other), while I was walking, I almost hit the girl beside me. Good thing, she found me funny. She smiled at me and then giggled after I said sorry. Maybe she saw that I was blushing and smiling all by myself. HAHA. Crazy me. v('',)v

He's really good looking in person, mind you. And this is the second time I've seen him in the university this school year. He really made my day. *sigh*

Ernest Lorenzo Dee. The Swimmer. The Boy Next Door. I heart. v('',)v

Good night! v('',)v

Just Happy and Proud

This post is especially dedicated to my younger brother, Ivan. As a proud Ate, I would like to share with you his accomplishments and the recognitions he's getting from his school recently.

I never expected that he would excel in academics because knowing him, he'd rather watch Tom and Jerry or Pokemon in Cartoon Network than study his lessons and do his assignments. At eleven, he's still very much into watching cartoons, playing with our dog, and reading comics and kiddie magazines. Honestly, some people often mistaken him as a grade two or a grade three student because of the way he acts and behaves. Well, he's the youngest in the family and this may be the reason why he is still like a "baby". And if you see him personally, he does not look like a hardworking grade five student. Trust me. HAHA.

Regardless of what I said above, I'm proud of him because he is making waves in his school.

To my surprise, I just discovered that he is representing his school to compete in other schools (he's very visible in the field of quiz bees these days). What really makes me more surprised is the mere fact that he has a banner with his own name and picture outside the gates of his school. How cool is that? Because of this, I always tease him that his face would scare innocent people who pass by the school because it is like a scare crow. HAHA. (Our father likes the joke, though. He keeps on laughing when he hears that.) I know, I'm mean to my own brother. v(",)v

Next week, he'll be competing again. I hope he would win this time. I know he can, because I trust him.

Go Ugly! Ate is proud of you! No matter how queer you are to me, I'm so lucky to have you as my brother. ILY. v('',)v

*Trivia: We fondly call each other Ugly. We really love each other, don't we? HAHA. By the way, please allow me to greet Ian and Nika a belated happy birthday and a happy birthday respectively.*

Huling Hirit sa Term Break

Hello! I've been enjoying the one week and some days term break. I am able to sleep for more than seven hours, watch TV and movies until I get sleepy, and surf the net like there's no tomorrow. Unfortunately, I only have one more day to enjoy the last day of the term break because on Wednesday, classes will resume. I'm going to miss these activities. Oh well, I guess I would have to wait for December so I could do these again. v('',)v

And speaking of sleeping, I'm dreaming about strange things lately. Well, my dreams may be strange but, at least, they are neither creepy nor freaky. As a matter of fact, I feel...thrilled. I don't know. HAHA. What the heaven is happening to me? HAHA.

Okay, I'll go to sleep. I'm off to Dreamland! HAHA. v('',)v

Good night everyone! v('',)v

*By the way, I would like to greet Mama Mary and Ivan, my dear brother, a Happy Birthday. Thank you for the ice cream treat. Yummy! HAHA.*

Good Job!

I can finally breathe in peace!

Despite the crammings and the sleepless nights, I was able to make it to the list again! Woohoo! v(",)v And the results are more than what I expected. They are remarkable! v(",)v Even if my EDUTEC2 grade is not really that high, I'm still happy because I passed the subject. On the other hand, I'm happy with my ENGLRES grade as well. It was difficult for my part because I didn't have a partner, unlike the majority of our class. I never thought that I could make an argumentative research paper on my own. v('',)v

I want to congratulate my 12 loves too. Although, hindi lahat ay nakaabot sa list, I'm still proud of you. I know we did our best! Babawi tayo next term, okie? And I can't wait for our EK trip on Friday. Sana hindi umulan para matuloy na. v('',)v Congratulations to LS and Danielle for being part of the list as well. I'm proud of you too! v(",)v

Last but not the least, I would like to thank God for making this possible. This wouldn't be possible without Him. Thank you for being there for me, most especially during the times when I felt hopeless because of my ENGLRES paper. Thank you very much! v(",)v

Okay, gotta go. I have to buy a pistacio ice cream. HAHA. Good bye! v(",)v

Eraserheads is Love

The Eraserheads is such a phenomenal Filipino band. This band inspired a lot of Filipinos to try their luck in the world of music industry. On the other hand, their songs are really great. Everybody can relate with them. And my generation grew up loving their songs.

I want to watch the second round of their reunion concert. It is my dream to see Ely, Raymund, Marcus, and Buddy perform live. And I hope, Ely would be fine this time.

Let's pray for the speedy recovery of Ely Buendia.

I wish I could have my wish granted. I will keep my fingers crossed. Who wants to miss this twice or thrice in a lifetime concert anyway? v(",)v

By the way, here is the song, Ligaya, by the Eraserheads. This is one of my favorite songs. Enjoy listening!

*If, by any chance, my wish would not happen, I'd just buy a copy of the ORIGINAL reunion concert DVD. Okay na rin naman siguro un. Boo. v(",)v*

If Cars Were Like Airplanes, Then There Wouldn't be a Traffic Problem

Lecture here and lecture there. My ears are almost full of the lectures I hear everywhere. I don't have any paper and pen to write everything I hear. I don't think that I need them though. Honestly, I have memorized them already. They are like broken records that keep on playing until somebody will do something to make them stop.

You might be thinking that I'm talking about the lectures in school. Well, no. I'm talking about the lectures from my dad and auntie at home about the increasing of the gas prices in the world market (even if the gasoline companies are declaring rollbacks now). They always do this to me, most especially when I ask permission if I could have an extra trip. They would tell me a lot of reasons why I should avoid the extra trips. Ang dami nilang sinasabi tapos, papayag din pala sila. I find them funny too because they look cute while they are giving me the lectures. HAHA.

I don't blame my dad and my auntie because even I, myself, am aware of the endless price increase of our basic and luxury needs, such as food and clothing. The drastic change and increase of the prices are really surprising. Like what my dad jokingly said, "Lahat ng presyo tumataas, unano lang ang hindi". (okay, sige, tumawa nalang kayo) HAHAHA.

Oh well, at least, we are learning how to save our money, right? v(",)v

So I'm wondering. If cars were like airplanes, then there wouldn't be a traffic problem. At kapag walang traffic, hindi tataas ang presyo ng gasolina. Everybody will live happily ever after!HAHA. So much for my wild imagination. v(",)v

The end.

*Soup mode ako ngayon, I'm sorry. Special credits to my ENGLRES paper. So I'm going back to it na. Good luck to me. v(",)v*

Are You Conyo? (Second of Two Chapters)

I have read some feedbacks regarding this article. Some don't like it while some find it funny too. And what's more surprising, it is spreading all over the town. Even the students from the other schools are posting it in their blogs. So, I am wondering. Is it really controversial? (O_o)

So as promised, I present to you the second half of the the Ten Conyomandments.

6. Make gawa the plural of pangngalans like in English or Spanish.

ex. "I have so many tigyawats, oh!"

7. Like, when you can make kaya, always use like. Like, I know right?

ex. "Like, it's so init naman!"
"Yah! The aircon, it's, like sira!"

8. Make yourself feel so galing by translating the last word of your sentence, you know, your pangungusap?

ex. "Kakainis naman in the LRT! How plenty tao, you know, people?"
"It's so tight nga there, eh, you know, masikip?"

9. Make gamit of plenty abbreviations, you know, daglat?"

ex. "Like, OMG! It's like traffic sa LRT"
"I know right? It's so kaka!"
"Kaka?"
"Kakaasar!"

10. Make gamit the pinakamaarte voice and pronunciation you have para full effect!

ex. "I'm, like, making aral at the Arrhneo!"

"Me naman, I'm from Lazzahl!"

Thank you for reading! v(",)v

Are You Conyo? (First of Two Chapters)

Last Friday, I got a copy of the latest issue of The La Sallian, the English newspaper in the university. After finishing cutting and drawing our paper dolls for our FSTUDY bulletin display making, I began to read the Menagerie (feature) section of the newspaper. I had a fun time reading it because it was really entertaining and creative. One of the articles that caught my attention was the Ten Conyomandments. It was super funny! v('',)v

Since everybody has been posting this article in Multilpy and Friendster, I would also do what they're doing. So please, sit back and relax as I share with you the first half of the Ten Conyomandments by Gerry Avelino and Arik Abu here in Blogger. By the way, I'll post the second half in my next entry. Suspense much? V('',)v Enjoy!

Ten Conyomandments

by Gerry Avelino and Arik Abu

(taken from TLS- Menagerie)

Conyo here, conyo there, conyo everywhere! Here at La Salle, conyospeak has become an unofficial language as a good chunk of the student body knows, or maybe even mastered the socialite tongue. However, one must never forget the basics of the conyo and we thusly bring you: The Ten Conyomandments.

1. Thou shall make gamit "make+pandiwa".

ex. "Let's make pasok na to our class!"

"Wait lang! I'm making kain pa!"

"Come on na, we can't make hintay anymore! It's in Andrew pa, you know?"

2. Thou shall make kalat "noh", "diba" and "eh" in your pangungusap.

ex. "I don't like to make lakad in the baha nga, no? Eh diba it's like, so eew, diba?"

"What ba: stop nga being maarte noh?"

"Eh as if you want naman also, diba?"

3. When making describe a whatever, always say "It's SO pang-uri!"

ex. "It's so malaki, you know, and so mainit!"

"I know right? So sarap nga, eh!"

"You're making me inggit naman.. I'll make bili nga my own burger."

4. When you are lalaki, make parang punctuation "dude", 'tsong" or "pare"

ex. "Dude, ENGANAL is so hirap, pare."

"I know, tsong, I got bagsak nga in quiz one, eh"

5. Thou shall know you know? I know right!

ex. "My bag is so bigat today, you know"

"I know, right! We have to make dala pa kasi the jumbo Physics book eh!"

To be continued...

One Step at a Time

It's already past one o'clock in the morning and past my bedtime too (hello eyebags!). Fortunately, there are no classes today because it's Ninoy Aquino Day. Though we have no classes, I still feel that I'm in school, except that I'm at home, (okay, whaaat?) doing school works. Well, I hope you get what I mean, and forgive me if I'm a little bit soup-minded again. HAHA. Anyway, it's okay because only one more week to go and it's already our term break! Yay! But before that, my blockmates and I have to pass through the hole of the needle first. v(^_~)v Oh well...

By the way, I'm not yet finished with Twilight. I've been reading it for almost a month! I started reading it again last Saturday but I ended up doing our school works. Oh well, I just realized that Edward and Bella can wait, so there's nothing to lose. Nahihiya na ako kay Mela kasi ang tagal na ng book niya sa akin. ('_')

On the other hand, I'm not a superhero who can do everything at the same time. I can multi-task but I can't do everything. I'm doing my stuff slowly, one step at a time.

Wish me luck! v(",)v

So much random stuff in here. Sweet dreams! This is Dana, signing off.

Finally

I met up with my bestfriend, Maggie, yesterday after my class and then we went to Sherwood in Taft Avenue to eat. On our way to Sherwood, there was a street child who was begging for money. Since we didn't have anything to give to him, he chased after us. Of course, we ran as fast as we could and went beside the police man standing at the corner of Tropical Hut to frighten him (he was not frightened). When we crossed the street, good thing, he didn't follow us. v(",)v We were scared though. He was scary even if he's still a child. So when we arrived in Sherwood, I finally got the chance to taste My Bestfriend's Pudding at Cerealicious after one year. Instead of ordering the regular blockbuster, I ordered the regular trailer because I felt that I might not finish it. My Bestfriend's Pudding consists of Honey Stars, peaches, and strawberry ice cream. I really enjoyed it! When I finished my food, I realized that I should have ordered the regular blockbuster. HAHA. Nabitin kasi ako sa food. HAHA. v(",)v

*This picture is from the website: http://www.cerealicious-ph.com/*

And speaking of "finally", after three weeks, I had the chance to talk to my bestfriend. We really maximized the three hours we had. We shared a lot of stories and laughed like there's no tomorrow, as usual. I had a great time yesterday before going home in Laguna. Maggie and My Bestfriend's Pudding made my day! v(",)v

Before I end this, I would like to share with you what I just realized:

Don't let anybody look down on you. You are beautiful inside and out. Always remember that.

Have a nice day everyone! v(",)v

Hopefully, It won't be the First and the Last

Yesterday, I went to the 20th Annual Academic Recognition Day in DLSU with my dad. The day before that, I was thinking of not attending the event. However, I changed my mind because I realized that I wanted to see how the school holds a recognition day. So it was kind of formal because it started with a prayer then followed by the singing of the National Anthem. Two respectable people spoke infront of the crowd and they expressed their congratulations to us, the students, for being in the list for three consecutive terms of the previous school year. At that moment, I felt thankful and happy because God gave me this wonderful opportunity. So when I went up the stage to receive the certificate, I felt like I'm floating on top of the clouds. HAHA.

Three more weeks to go and the first term of this school year will come to an end. Like what I've been telling you for the past weeks, I'm not really happy with my performance in school recently. On the brighter side, the event yesterday became my inspiration to study harder.

Oh well, hopefully, it won't be my first and last recognition day. v(",)v

*I would like to share with you the picture Icca and I took yesterday after receiving our certificates. Can't you see the the joy and happiness on our faces? Nice picture! v(",)v*

Pieces of Good News

I want to start the first day of August with pieces of good news. Unlike my previous posts, there would be no complains or bittersweet sentiments in here. v(",)v So are you ready for the pieces of good news? v(",)v

I would like to congratulate my fellow Humblebee, Ayeen, because her article, "Heaven Not for Gays? " was chosen and got published in the Philippine Daily Inquirer's Youngblood. She is really a good writer and she deserves this kind of special break. I'm proud of you Ayeen, and you inspire me! v(",)v

Since I already brought up the word "inspire", I guess I'm inspired because I passed the ECEDLAN and FILKOMU midterm exam. Yay! Though, there are still a lot to improve. I'm not expecting that I'll be in the list this term, but I'm still hoping for the best. Just let God's hands do the work, and everything will be okay. v(",)v

By the way, I started reading Twilight again because we have less homework to do. I'm actually falling for Edward Cullen, oh no! Haha. Well, you can't blame me because he's worth it, you know. HAHA. *sigh* If you don't know him yet, try typing down his name in the search box of Yahoo or Google. v(",)v

"I promise to love you forever--- every single day of forever."

- Edward Cullen

*Kilig Mode--- HAHA. Yeah, I know that's cheesy. But who wouldn't love to hear that line? Most especially when it comes from the one they love? Yikee.*

Good night everyone! Dream happy dreams! And thank you for visiting my blog! v(",)v
