Memories.

Today I decided to clean my room. Leggo general cleaning! ;)

As I clean my cabinet, I first opened my envelopes that contain high school stuffs. Oh, memories..
I even saw my works before, those speeches, poems, and even research papers we used to do.

The next thing I opened was the envelope that contains my 1st year college stuffs. I had a sudden flash back then.. Reading those letters again makes my heart melt. :"> I also saw our "family tree". It makes me miss my first barkada more. I'm not saying that we're not friends anymore, its just that some of us already transferred to other schools, and some already have other circle of friends. I miss the US TIMES that we used to have before.

Everything happens for a reason.

That's all I can say. I guess one of my realizations today. Ngayon naintindihan ko na kung bakit kinuha ni Lord sa akin yung plan ko. Yes, kasi naka-plan talaga ako eh. Kaso nagkaproblema kaya ngayon e naka-prepaid ulit. Dati akala ko nawala lang yun to discipline me lalo na sa finances ko, pero hindi lang pala yun ang reason. Ngayon mas nakita ko ito in a different view. Thank you Lord. <3

Since naka-prepaid na ulit ako, may dahilan na ako para hindi na muna talaga masyado mag-text. Yan ang realization ko talaga. And ayun nga, I decided na hindi muna talaga masyado gamitin yung phone ko.. Maglo-load na lang ako at magte-text if needed na, or for Lifebox purposes only.

In that way, nakakatipid na ako. Napa-practice na yung sa finance ko. Naga-guard pa yung heart ko. <3

Siena Visit

So today we visited our former school, Siena College of San Jose. Actually its the last day of their intramural today. We went there for the high school's field demo as well as the performance of the school band. 

Its been two years since I last visited them during intrams. I miss the atmosphere, I miss the place, I miss the people. Every corner of this school has memories. 

So there you go, tambay and kwentuhan mode while waiting for the performance. Then, I asked my friends na pumunta kami sa band room to check the band, malamang. At saka nami-miss na rin kasi namin e kaya ayun pumunta na kami nung friend ko..

Actually lyrist talaga ako, tapos si Renz talaga yung dancer. Feelingera lang ako sa unang picture. :p Marunong naman kasi ako mag-flag rin, pati baton. All around kaya ako, kidding. ;)

Grabe lang, sobrang ang saya saya ko lang talaga today. Its been 3 years since the last time I played this. :> Indeed, the drum and lyre band has played an important role in my high school life. It adds color to my high school life. <3

Its really one of the things that I love doing. And I must say, I really miss this. Oh, once a DNL, always a DNL :>

Onti na lang kaming pumuntang school ngayon. I miss my other high school classmates. Aww. :'( 

After the closing ceremony, we went to SM Fairview and had our late lunch. Then went home again after hours of walking and talking. Lol. 

Oh so happy day.

♥Siena

♥Drum-and-lyre

Just got home. I went to Siena today for the closing of Intrams 2011.

I had fun spending my day with my high school friends, most especially with my band-mates. :>

Ang daming nagsabing tumaba daw ako ngayon. I don't know how will I respond. Good ba yun or bad? Hahaha. Chicks who? LOL. Natatawa ako kapag tinatawag akong ganun ng high school friend ko eh. Laugh trip.

Friends Forever.

Today I got a notification, I was tagged in one of my friend's post. Actually I was kinda surprised to see this post.. It touches my heart, as in :"> I really miss those girls, especially the one who tagged me. If you could only read this, I just want you to know that I miss you so much Jamie Claire Castañeda Carreon. ♥

truly great friends are hard to find, difficult to leave, and impossible to forget. i miss you Bea, Tine, Lorraineand Gra'e </3 :(

I guess another answered prayer for me again today. I've been praying for this to happen, reconciliation of broken relationships. Indeed, time heals everything. I hope this would only be the start. I am praying that one day we will be okay again, no more awkward feelings. I hope we could trust and be open again to each other again, just like the old times. 

Practice Makes Perfect.

Today nagmagaling na naman ako. Naglaro laro sa kusina as if naman na marunong akong magluto talaga. Hehe, I decided to cook pancake for my merienda. Then, ayun na nga hindi naman nahirapang mag-prepare. Nahirapan lang talaga ako sa pagluluto na itself. Bakit kasi hindi ako makagawa ng perfect circle na pancake e? :( Yung first two na gawa ko akala mo scrambled egg e, sobrang distorted eh. Hahaha. Pero habang tumatagal medyo umo-okay naman na yung gawa ko. Medyo mas mukhang bilog naman na siya. Pero ang hirap lang talagang makagawa ng perfect circle. Huhu. Gusto ko matuto non. 

Mula sa ginawa kong "kalokohang" yun kanina aaminin ko na ang dami ko pa talaga kailangang malaman sa buhay., lalong lalo na sa pagluluto. Hindi naman kasi ako pinalaki ng magulang ko na laging nasa kusina e. What I mean is, hindi naman ako pinapayagang magluto o makisali nila mama dati kapag nagluluto sila. Siguro nung bata ako nakakatulong pa ako sa paghahanda ng ingredients.. Pero sa pagluluto itself na, hindi talaga. So lumaki akong wala talaga masyadong alam sa pagluluto. Parang hindi ako babae no? Sorry naman. :( Pero gusto ko talagang matutong magluto... Sana lang may chance para matuto ako. Preparation na rin, siyempre hindi naman forever na nandyan sa tabi ko ang parents ko, darating ang panahon na kailangan ko ng bumukod. So dapat matuto na rin akong magluto. At syempre pag nagkapamilya na rin ako, syempre sinong magluluto para sa kanila? Parents ko pa rin? Hindi naman ganun yun. Gusto ko na talaga matuto. Hayy.. 

Stick-O is ♥

Last night I bought Stick-o (strawberry flavor). I've been craving for this for weeks already. Hehe.

It has been one of our favorites kapag nasa dorm kami. Naalala ko pa, nung "depress-depressan" ako ito ang pinapapak ko. Hehe. Ang sarap lang talagang kumain nito eh. At sa tuwing nag-aaral rin ako, isa ito sa mga pampagana ko. Hehe. Mas nakakagana kasi talagang mag-aral kung may kinakain ka di ba? Aminin mo!

Sa sobrang takaw ko, halos kabubukas ko pa lang nito at malapit ko na siyang maubos. Ang sarap kasi eh. Hahaha. :P So kailangan kong mag control na lang para hindi ko kagad maubos. Isa pa, kapag hinayaan ko kasing umiral yung katakawan ko kawawa na naman yung lalamunan ko. Mabilis kasi ata sumakit lalamunan ko, kaya dapat moderate lang ang pagkain ng matatamis. :)

Di na tayo tulad ng dati.

Minsan talaga darating at darating ka sa punto kung saan wala ka ng magagawa kung di magpatay malisya na lang, magpanggap as if okay lang ang lahat. Minsan kasi nakakapagod ng mag-alala sa isang taong ayaw namang makinig na sa iyo. 

Oo, aaminin ko nalulungkot ako sa kung anong kinahinatnan ng pagkakaibigan natin pero kung yan talaga ang gusto mo wala na akong magagawa pa. Isa pa, buhay mo yan ayoko namang pangunahan ka sa mga desisyon mo. I've done my part, bahala ka na kung anong gusto mong gawin. Kung makikinig ka sa mga sinasabi namin, o ipagpapatuloy mo pa rin ang gusto mo. Napapagod rin naman kasi kaming magpayo sa'yo eh. Matanda ka na, bahala ka na sa buhay mo. Ang tanging magagawa ko na lang ay ang ipagdasal ka.. Ayoko na rin kasing magsalita pa o mag-react pa sa mga nababalitaan ko patungkol sa'yo. Ayoko na kasing palalain pa ito. 

Nami-miss na kita, pero wala kong magawa. Hindi na tayo tulad ng dati.. at nakakalungkot lang na malaman yun. :(

A Must Have.

I badly need a new set of pens soon! My pens are already running out of ink. Oh noes :| How can I update my planner now?!

It's been almost two years since I received these pens as a Christmas gift from a friend. And I guess its time to replace them now. Hopefully I can buy a new set before I go back to school.

Milk Tea is ♥

'D Unkabogable Meet-up.

So here's the draft of our "poster" for our planned event on our college week. I'm so excited to meet my fellow AMV-ians and spend time with them.

Actually our aim for this year talaga is to reach out to other AMVians. Hindi naman kasi forever na kami lang ng batch ko yung nasa AMV, darating yung time na kailangan na rin naming umalis. And siguro preparation na lang rin namin ito para kapag umalis kami, may maiiwan pa rin sa AMV. Kunbaga ito yung legacy na gusto naming iwan.

Noong Ignite 2011 (last May) pa kami ng barkada ko nagkaroon ng vision para sa college namin. I can still remember that night kung kailan kami nagplano as a barkada kung papaano ba namin mas mare-reach out yung iba pang AMVians. And I am really praying na God will use us for the advancement of His kingdom in our university, in our college.. My battlefield is in AMV..

One UST for one GOD. One AMV for one GOD.

Where Art Thou?

Dear Appetite, where art thou? Its been two weeks since my sembreak had started, and two weeks na rin akong walang gana sa pagkain. I don't know what's happening to me, pero basta wala lang akong gana kumain lately. Actually kapag nasa bahay naman ako medyo wala akong gana talaga eh. :(

Almost once a day lang yung "matinong" meal ko. Tuwing brunch at dinner lang ako kumakain. At every dinner lang ako kumakain ng rice. Mali 'to. I need to get my appetite back.

Oo, I want to lose weight but not like this. Ugh. -__________-

My baby, DYL 2011. ♥

Here's my current planner, Design Your Life 2011. Hindi pa rin ako tapos mag-update nito. Medyo masakit kasi sa kamay kapag tuloy tuloy na nag-sulat eh. :( Anyways sana matapos ko 'to bago magpasukan.

Hindi ko pa rin tapos yung August and September. May ilan pa ring blank dates. :(

Say hi to my colorful pens. Ito ang gamit ko sa pagsusulat dito sa planner ko. :)

Miscellaneous pages. The back portion of my planner. Ginawa ko siyang mala-scrapbook. Random things ang nakalagay dito. Memorable things for the year. :)

My life in dorm.

I miss my dorm-mates already. Especially my last year's dormmates.

They stayed up until midnight just to surprise me on my 17th birthday. How sweet. :>

Two of my closest roommates.

 Sobrang funny lang ng dalawang ito eh. Ang "magkapatid" na Valdez.

Si Camille, ang OC Architecture student. Nakakamiss rin ito, sobrang bait kasi nito.

Kunbaga, kami yung mga pasaway tapos siya yung good girl ng grupo. Lol.

Look at our table, this is what our study tables look like during school days.

Kulitan moments in front of my laptop. Sorry kung medyo vain kami. :P

I also miss my bed. And my cabinet. And my side table. 

I miss them all. 

Btw, say hi to my baby Bochi. ♥ 

Siya yung katabi ko lagi matulog, 

halos 1/4 nga ng kami sa kanya na eh. LOL.

Accidental Missionary

I must finish reading this book today. Sana lang magawa ko talaga 'to. Hehe. :D

Actually ito yung material namin last semester sa deep bench namin kay Ate Love. Natapos naman na namin ito dun sa DB namin, pero aaminin ko madami pa akong chapters na hindi pa tapos basahin.

Bakit? Kasi late na kong nakasama sa deep bench nila, ngayong last semester lang ako nakasali. E sinimulan ata nilang i-discuss itong book na ito two sems ago pa. So Ate Love told me na i-skip ko na lang muna yung previous chapters para makahabol ako sa discussion. Nung pumasok kasi ako sa deep bench niya mga nasa chapter 6 na ata sila non.

So this break, ito na talaga ang chance ko para matapos itong book na ito. Grabe lang ang ganda lang talaga neto. Ang dami kong natututunan, mga bagay na mas nalalaman. So I advice you guys na basahin rin ito. :)

Nga pala, memorable rin pala sa akin yung book ko na ganito. Bakit? Kasi yun yung remembrance ko noong Ignite Pre-conference na ginanap sa Victory Fort. I bought this book cheaper than its original price. Ang saya lang. :)

Say hello to my new schedule!

I prayed for a good schedule for next semester, a class schedule that will meet my busy everyday life. And this is what I got. I was kinda sad when I saw this. Why? Because of two factors. (1) I have classes until 9pm. How's that? Its so late, its my first time to have a class schedule like that. And (2) my schedule has a conflict when it comes to youth services. I can't go on Friday youth service anymore, not even on Thursdays. And that's so sad for me. :( Anyways, I know God has greater purpose that's why He gave me a schedule like this.

Hopefully this semester I can really establish my Victory group. Our conflicting schedule has been my main problem that's why I wasn't able to have a regularly meeting with my group last semester.

Looking forward to have my final schedule soon. :"> What I mean with that is, my whole schedule for the semester, including my extra curricular activities. :P

My "CPA" Dream

Today the CPA board exam results were posted.
Congratulations to all the new set of CPA Thomasians! :)

And  for me? I'm still thinking if I should still pursue this or not. I really don't know what to do after this BSMA course. Whether to study again for two years so I can have my BSA degree or not.

For now, I just gotta enjoy my remaining years as a BSMA student, then we'll see whats going to happen next.

Reminiscing my DYL 2010

So while browsing my files here, I saw this album that contains photos of my former planner. Say hello to Design Your Life 2010 planner.

Is this goodbye?

So here's a print screen of my Tumblr account. I've been a blogger here for almost a year and a half. I already had a lot of friends through this site. Surely I'll miss this blog.

But I know its not the end for me and Tumblr. Maybe I'll just leave it for the meantime. I remembered what my twin used to tell me, I may be away, but never gone. And so with you my dear Tumblr. I may be away for now, but I'm sure I'll go back to you again.. someday! For  now let me just explore new blog site, besides I'm not comfortable with my tumblr anymore. Thanks to those creepy unknown foreign followers who suddenly liked, and some even reblogged, my photos. Ain't that creepy?

Not All Only Child's are Spoiled Brat.

Most people usually think that if you're an only child then you're a spoiled brat. But I just want to tell you guys that it's not true. Not all only child's are spoiled.

In my case, I've been raised by my parents normally. I mean, there's no special treatment or whatsoever just because I'm their only child. There are times that I don't get what I want. There are moments when my parents scold me because I'm naughty or because I did something wrong. All these things, I also experienced during my childhood days. 

So, I just want to clear things up. Not all only child's are spoiled. Yes there may be some, but not me. 

Girl on the move.

Hello there! I'm Christine and I am just a newbie here. Trying to explore this blog site. I've decided to create this new blog since my old blog from Tumblr is becoming more public than before. Anyways, I hope to enjoy this new blog site, may I be able to express more my feelings here than before.
