Tears of Joy

One thing I am sure: I don't have any idea about this surprise birthday party given by my family and friends. Oh yeah, I'm touched. Let me start the story telling from the day it happened. Morning, I was at Mik's residence. Di ba nag overnight ako then pinaliguan ni Mik hair ko yung parang asa salon lang ang feeling tas kinulot nya ko kase para daw maganda ako sa birthday ko. Lol. Felt like I was a princess. I was little worried sa celebration kase wala daw power samen so I prayed. We went to Marquee for our meeting place and there nilagyan ako ng make-up ni Mik and Sai trimmed my bangs. Sa Marquee Park namen to ginawa ah, not inside. Almost 6pm already and yet no messages coming from my mom like "uwi kana dahil birthday mo" No. Nothing like that. Many tensions happened and nung karating ko sa house, I found out na andun na pala mga friends ko and they were all dressed in their summer outfit. Huhu! I don't belong. Buuuuut wait! My friends and my mom pulled me inside the room and they wanted me to wear a Hawaiian outfit. It's like Duh? I never tried anything like that so.. But of course, I don't wanna be killjoy and I knew at that time na sa bahay lang namen kaya okay lang so Go! But I was wrong! Shocks! We headed sa harap ng bahay naman which is a gym. Oh my! Many faces. What's happening?! Whoaaaaaa! Tadaaa! Here I am again, crying. Why again? because since third year high school, during my birthdays there would always something na mapapaiyak ako. Can I reminisce those for a second? HAHA. For third year: I thought my friends would not come but that was part of their plan, nagtampo ako but they surprised  me then I started to cry. Fourth year: I joined YouthForChrist camp and nung last day was birthday ko. I was happy nung gabe palang kase ang dameng nag ggreet na di ko kilala. Lol. Nung bago kame mag part ways there was a program again and isa ako sa mga nag testimonial and dun ako umiyak. 1st year college: I went for a summer job so pumapasok ako hanggang 7pm and I have no idea na may surprise din yung friends ko kase naman kasabay ko lang umuwi yung  iba. Karating ko ng bahay, i cried again. Humabol din yung mga kasama ko nun. Mastermind din yung mother ko sa mga surprises.  So that was my moments of Tears of Joy!

My highschool friends. Sayang ang dameng wala but okay lang.

See, I'm so happy here. Abot tenga ang tuwa. I got hp mini 210 netbook from my parents. 

Ever since, I wanted na talaga to experience the Japanese lantern and there you go. Don't wanna say anymore what happened after that scene.

Look at Jomerl! He's so COOOOOOL!

After the party we went to Zulu, Diamond.

Thank you O' Lord for these people you sent to be an instrument of your love.

Change of plans

This was the plan: Help Mik na mag ayos ng kwarto nya and Sleepover. But what happened:
Friday morning bigla syang tumawag and asking na samahan ko daw sya sa Sm Megamall pero ayaw ko kase sayang pera at mag cocommute lang kase. Nung kinausap ni Mik si mother sa phone biglang sabe saken ni mama na sumama na daw ako tas binigyan nya akong pera. Haha. So Ayun, bigla bigla pumupunta ako ng Manila na wala sa plano ko.

In the bus

Natawa lang kame ni Mik dito:)))

Kasama namen si ate Grace(sister ni Mik) and si Kuya Ken (her boyfriend). Nung karating namen dun sa Megamall, umalis din sila and with Mik, we were just walking and walking until we noticed na 5 times na pala namen na dadaan yung Forever 21. Lol. We bought Green tea with rock salt sa Happy Lemon kase there's nothing like that here at Angeles. The taste? ooh at first Not-Good but when we already mixed it, better from Not-Good na sya.

 We ate dinner at Orchard road, a Singaporean dish.

If I would rate this up to 10, it would be 8. Pwede na. Masarap! Thanks to Kuya Ken and Ate Grace for the treat. Here they are, so sweet:

After here, naglibot kame ulet and binili akong gift ni Mik. Then umuwi na kame. Sleeping kari Mik was the plan na kasama sa plano ko. Till next time;)

My 18th year

This April 18, Wednesday, I celebrated my 18th year on this earth. Thank God for this wonderful life. I was planning talaga sa birthday ko na magpakain ng mga matatanda sa bahay Pag Ibig but due to pagiging busy I wasn't able to do that so instead sabe ko nalang sa mother ko na mag celebrate nalang ako sa Saturday with simpleng handaan na lang. On that day, my mom gave me a Juicy tshirt na may nakasulat na debutante. So perfect for me. Haha. What I did lang talaga is natulog ng hapon. Ayaw ko naman na maremember ko yung 18th birthday ko ng natulog lang at tumambay sa bahay kaya niyaya ko si mama and yung sister ko na manuod ng cine. Pumunta kame ng Marquee ng mga 7pm  at nag dinner sa Susie's Cuisine. Pumunta yung kapatid kong lalake and ansaya ko na nun kase malagad lang namen syang nakakasama. Before kame nanuod ng cine, tumingin muna ako ng laptop. Nag avail kame ng last Full show and pinanuod namen yung 5 Morons and the Crying lady. I wanted to watch that kahit may mga nagsasabeng di man maganda at corny lang pero dahil mababaw lang ang kaligayahan ko natawa naman ako. I agree din sa mga NOT LOVERS OF THAT MOVIE kase yung iba nga naman talaga ay di man nakakatawa. After namen nanuod bumili ako ng Cornetto! haha. Yung Milk chocolate. Di ko pa natitikman kase yun e. Then, Home sweet home. Knock out! That's what happened.

Fontana Fever

OMG.  I took so long to blog again. Sobrang dameng nangyare this past few days and I wanna share it to you guys coz talagang  it made my life happy! So for now let me start after the day of graduation ng DVBS. Nung night na yun biglang nag txt si Mik and she was inviting me to come sa pagpunta nila ng Arayat kase mag sswimming daw sila. Nung una nag dadalawang isip pako kase ang plano ko talaga dapat is matulog muna dahil halos maaga akong pumapasok sa DVBS but my mom said why not come with them? Di pa naman ako nakapunta sa Arayat so that would be a chance. It was Sunday already, I packed my things. Pumunta si Sai samen and sabay kame pumunta sa meeting place. Pumunta kame sa Baño Resort nung una but we didn't know na ganun na pla yung itstura nun. Parang dinaanan ng bagyo. Sayang napabayaan lang. Totally Different from past years kase that was a well known resort. Yung water galing sa mountain kaya malinis pero what I said is madume na ang paligid. So no chance. Pumunta naman kame sa Panings(bayan from Arayat) pero halos resort din dun ay madameng tao. Sobrang inet kase e. Pumunta kame sa bahay nung tita ni Mik and only to find out na sa bahay nila yungt tita nya. Haha. What a life?

Ayan namitas nalang kame ng mangga tas bumalik na sa bahay nila Mik. In short, parang nag joyride lang kame sa Arayat. LOL. Nag lunch kame and di naman pwedeng di kame mag swimming kase sayang naman so nag decide sila na sa Fontana. Pag pupunta sa luob ng clark di pwedeng overload yung car pero we were seven kaya naman from kanto nila Mik ay nagcommute kame with THE OUTFIT you will see. Technically speaking, I do not wear shorts pag umaalis so I was like NOOOOOOOO! but I need to and later on YEEES! kase I think it was my 2nd time around to do that. Achievement! 2 rides from there. Nilibre kame ni ate Grace sa tickets.

With this.

After this, Sleepover kari Mik and the next morning was a day that I would say na NOTHING but SLEEPING ang ginawa namen. Kase naman ganito yun, mga 11-12pm na kame nagising and nag Brunch kame and then dapat mag babasa kame ng book para mag review pero nakatulog ako and nainggit sila so natulog din sila. Lol. When we woke up, mga 6pm na  yun. Tas nag chikahan, kumaen ng dinner at nag hilamos lang kame at quarter to 9 na. Soooo, nothing really happened.

DVBS Fun

Wishlist is over. Last week was definitely busy so I didn't have the chance to continue my wishlist. Awwww. But that would be fine naman kase I don't have anything else in my mind na gusto ko except for this:


Any brand will do. Hmm, As I was saying pala, last week was busy kase I was invited by Mik to be her assistant teacher in Daily Vacational Bible Study. I started on Tuesday and ended on Saturday. Actually Monday dapat but due to being L-A-Z-Y di ako nakapag attend. Saturday was the Graduation part. I will miss our students!

 Ayan, they were doing the Arts&Crafts.

 Eight students are enough. Ang gulo kase nila . 7 years old palang sila.

Preparing our gifts for the Graduation day.

with ate Jinggay, my co-assistant

with Tim

Ang pogi netong batang to! Di namen sya student. He's one year ahead sa tinuturauan namen e. At least I enjoyed the 1 week of my summer.

Anna Banana Split

Have you watched the New Selecta Super Stick ice cream?

 The one with the chocolate, vanilla and strawberry flavor? Nung napanuod ko to sakto may bananas kame and may mga ibang ingredients kame for Banana split kulang nalang yung ice cream. Last night, we bought one and I made my own not-so eye catching Banana split. Pero masarap naman.Here's the ingredient:

 First, I split the banana into two and scoop an ice cream. Put Kitkat on both sides. Nilagyan ko din ng Hershey's and at last sprinkled with lots of marshmallows because I love them so much! Pati may sprinkles nadin(kung ano man tawag dun).

 And that's it! Hahaha! Yummmy!

Wish list 02

Gusto ko ng iTouch yung 4th gen. Pero dahil sobrang mahal nun tyaka di naman masyadong kailangan. I'll go for the gadget nalang na cheaper ang price. Gusto kong naka earphones paminsan pag umaalis pero wala naman akong gadget na pagsasaksakan and gusto ko din ng mp4 para pag wala akong ginagawa may something akong pinapakinggan. Wala akong masyadong memorize na kanta. As in wala. Kaya one thing na din yun para makasabay naman ako paminsan pag kumakanta mga kaibigan ko. Hahahaha! Nga pala! Naka Sale to sa Marquee ng 50% off kaya pwede narin to saken.

Wish list 01

New doll shoes, sandals or mid cut flat boots will do. Pero alam ko naman na hanggang pangarap lang yung boots talaga kaya doll shoes nalang or open sandals kase may scarcity(ansabe ng scarcity na di akma) ako ngayon sa shoes. So, I need one :) size 8 nga pala ako.

Simple thought

Wala naman masamang mangarap right? 9 days from now and I will turn 18 na. Bigla ko lang naisip to kagabe. Dapat mas maganda nag start nung April 1 para 18 wishes sana pero naisip ko kagabe 10 nalang pero ngayon ko lang masisimulan kaya 2 wish na nyan kakabit ko. So, wag na kayo mag taka kung may wish list per day. Hahaha. Simple nalang mga kakabit ko kase sayang naman kung mag kakabit pako ng mamahalin baka madisappoint lang. Dapat yung afford lang;))

My wish is my command

I wanted to have a cork board. Ang cute kase nakikita pag may mga photos for reminiscing purposes, sticky notes for memos or reminders and mga extras na kung ano ano. I also like to have one kase I want to put my reminders sa nakikita kong spot so it will remind me talaga. I do wrote things na dapat kong gawin sa planner ko but I think wala rin silbe so nung minsan na pumunta akong SM Clark may nakita ako and sabe ko babalikan ko yun. Nung after ko nag pass ng requirements sa Holy Angel, pumunta akong mag isa. I feel Ms. Dependent nanaman. I went where I saw that then bought it plus memo pad and Push pin naren. I would say na birthday gift ko nadin to sa sarili ko:)

Ayan. Wala pa syang laman and excited nakong lagyan:)

Kitty on the wall

I was looking for something and I saw this one which I bought last 2 years I think. It is a flat sponge sticker for walls. For the design purposes. I actually forgot that I have this one until I accidentally found it on my drawer. I don't want to use it because I don't know where I can place it perfectly. But of course I'm bored and my sister insisted to use it, there you go.

 

On the side of the window.

 On the lower right part of our cabinet.

Somehow it's cute. I like it. Till next time :)

Good Friday

Morning when we celebrated my brother's birthday. We just prepared Carbonara and Mango float. Instead of cake mas gusto nya kase yung Mango float kaya yun ang ginawa namen. Di kame naghanda ng marame kase pupunta kame ng Cutud kung san yung may mga nagpapapako and pinuntahan nadin namen yung kamag anak namen malapit dun kase fiesta din kase.

Nung asa Palengke na kame sobrang dame ng tao. You'll see them asa gilid ng daan nakaupo and may mga nakatayo din. Parang may inaabangan sila. I saw a bus na may mga nakasakay na mga tourist. Papunta din sila dun sa Papako. Pumunta muna kame kari tita Myrna, nakikain lang kame then pumunta na kame sa kakambal nya na si tita Rosa. Mga 25 steps siguro ang layo ng bahay. Nakikain kame ulit dun at dun kame nag stay muna. After mga ilan minutes nung nagpahinga na kame nagdadalawang isip yung mga kasama ko kung pupunta pa sila kase daw sobrang init dun. Pero sabe ko minsan lang naman tyaka andun narin naman kame eh. Kaya ayun pumunta kame kasama ko si mama, tita Pet ko, tatlo kong kapatid and yung pinsan namen na taga dun para may tour guide kame:)) Nung nakapunta nakame dun sa daan kung saan dumadaan yung mga papako and namamalaspas. Nakipag sabayan kame sa sobrang dameng tao. Sobrang inet! Solid. Along the way may mga pabalik na mga namamalaspas. Tapos na sila. Pag pala pumupunta ka dun di pwedeng di ka matatalsikan ng dugo. Kaya halos car, damet and kung ano anong gamet ay may talsik tyaka mas maganda daw kung naka white kang damet.

As in katabe ko lang yung mga yan. Malansa yung mga dugo nila. Okay, tuloy padin ang paglakad sa mainit na araw. Nag shortcut kame and nung nakarating na kame sa bukid kung san ginaganap yung pagpako. Ay grabe naman ang inet. Sumisingaw ang inet! Pinakamainit na panahon dito sa Angeles x 10!!

 You'll see the sky here color blue pero pag doon color bright yellow! Haha. Sobrang dameng tao. Taong may Dslr, taong amercano, taong pilipino, taong nagtitinda, taong taga media, taong nagpapapako, taong nakasakay sa kabayo, taong taga pako at marami pang iba. May gate pass sa luob kaya di kame makakapasok. Ang dameng reporters and media from different networks and parang yung setup talaga parang may nag shoo-shooting.

Nung nakapag picture nako di nakame nag stay. Duh?! Ang inet kaya. try mo? So then umuwi nakame ulit dun sa bahay ng tita ko. And along the way, may mga namamalaspas pa kame na nakasalubong. Natalsikan kame. Nag pahinga kame muna ng ilang oras tas umalis nakame dun pero dumaan muna kame kung san lumaki yung nanay ko. Pinakita nya yung date nilang bahay sa Aurea and nagstay muna kame ng konti sa kaibigan nya date. Nung nasa Angeles nakame sakto may prusisyon kaya nag picture ako habang bumibili sila mama ng Dvd and fruits.

Sakto umulan nung last shot ko kaya agad na kameng umuwi. Filipinos continued they're walked despite of the rain. Faith from what they believe is talagang nakakabilib. Here is one of the traditions done at Philippines.
