First Anniversary!

Time really flies fast, aye? In a click the alarm in my memory rang telling me it's already been a year since we got back together. Gosh, many memories are now flashing through my mind; from our shy "nice to see you again" moments, to the first time we'd meet each other's parents, and to the awesome getaways we've had. Don't know what else to say, i mean i've already posted blogs about our history, how we started as high school sweethearts, entered the LDR path, separated, and now back together. It's been a pretty hectic journey to get to where we are now, but i gotta say that it truly is worth it.


To prepare for this special day, i know that we're broke since we gotta save up for our fare to travel to Clark. But that doesn't mean i'll have to excuse myself from surprising you in the small ways i know?  


So first, i prepared you a video containing all our memories captured on film for this past year. I've prepared it since February, i think? I was a little excited, i gotta admit. Next, i wrote you a song. I haven't cleaned the rough patches of it yet, but i promise you i'll finish it. The lyrics are done, right in time for our special day. I also prepared you a wall filled with reasons why i love you and how much you mean to me, just to surprise you a little when you visit me. And finally, i wrote you a letter. It was a simple one, i just had a lot of things i wanted to say to you in my mind and so i needed to write all of it on the letter.


The best part of this all? His reaction! Was just too priceless. I never expected him to react that way, i thought these things were too simple, and yet there he was with such a reaction. Made me feel special, how small things like these would mean a lot for a guy like him. The tight hugs and the stare with a smile? Gahhh *spazzing just at the thought of remembering it*


Honestly, it's been an amazing 1 year with you baby... Through the little misunderstandings and fights we've had, we were able to make it, stronger each day. What i've done for you on our special day is nothing compared to what you have done for me through the years. Thank you so much for everything, seriously. For coming back into my life, i honestly couldn't have asked for more. God has blessed me enough. I hope you'd feel how much i love you through these small things.  


Happy Anniversary, baby! I love you, i honestly do.. More than words could ever explain.

Dinner at Don Henrico's: Fettuccine, Buffalo Wings & Baked Ziti.

My thoughts and feelings placed in a letter

Bought post-its and write all the reasons why i love him, to surprise him a little when he arrives. Didn't think i'd ever do things like this, but hey, only he has this effect on me.

A little selfie showing our haggardness before ending the day, lol.

 P.S. The next night we had Ramyun for dinner, then had tofu for a little late snack. Made bacon and cheese omelette with him the next morning, totally the best evurrr! Topped all those yummy treats with cookies and cream ice cream. Gahhh, y so perfect baby?! Hahaha. Cheers to the most simple yet amazing anniversary celebration with you baby! Anything we do is just the best baby. I love you so much! 

Goodbye 2013

Date check: 2 more days till 2014. Wow.

A million memories are flashing through my mind right now, i mean i can't even describe how different and how blessed i have been this year. If i was to sum my year up in a sentence it would be like this; I met awesome friends and church leaders in Singapore, moved back to the Philippines alone to start college life, reunited with my old friends again, got back together with my first love, made new friends in Baguio City, did well on my first semester in university, realised i can do well in school and dance well, and experienced the
crazy hardships of being independent.

Yep. That's about it. But... 

There's so much more to that vague sentence. I've experienced so many new things that made me wiser. Been through tears and have reached a breaking point at one point in time, but all those just made me wiser. It's a tough world out there, and living alone kind of pushes you off the edge. Living alone made me realise that i can't be strong all the time, though choosing to be, with the help of genuine people who care about you, is the first step. I was able to be strong through many circumstances because i had a great support system, my boyfriend, my best friends and my family. They all remind me each time time to stay true to myself and to continue doing what i can. They remind me when to chill down and have fun when i start stressing out. They remind me to do well in whatever i am doing so that i can reach my goals and dreams. And lastly, they remind me that no matter what i am going through, they'll be there for me.

What i've learned on my own? Well i learned to not trust people easily. I learned that giving your trust to someone is a pretty heavy thing and that if given to a wrong person, you'll feel the heavy weight of regret on your back. I've realised that being too kind is not a good thing either. I'm way too kind, and though i know i shouldn't be, i still am right now. I still have to work on that. And lastly, i've learned that though it's a tough world to live in, there are still small but great things to smile about each day. Like the hugs and kisses you might get from a special someone, or a cute letter a friend would give or the chance of discovering a talent of yours or how smart you can actually be. And the fact that you're given a chance to wake up each morning is a huge blessing already; or that you're given the time to do whatever makes you happy, i think that's such a blessing. 

Thank You Lord, again you have made me go on a roller coaster ride, and again i know You were there riding with me. Thank you for all the experiences; through ups and downs Your presence was felt. Thank You. I'm looking forward to what 2014 will offer me, excited about what You will offer me. 

Cheers to new experiences, to new lessons and to new discoveries this 2014!

A few memories captured on film. Thank you guys for helping put a smile on my face this year!

A great day to remember

Wow, where can i start. October 18, 2009.
i woke up at around 7:10 in the morning to prepare. My plan for that day was to go to church for the last time at Nazarene and to meet up with old friends. I was with two friends of mine when i arrived at church. It was great to be in that place again after some time. After church i got to hang out with two of my old church mates or two of my buds. It was so much fun talking, laughing and hanging out with them again. After quite some time, My friend was acting kind of weird, i was feeling something fishy. But then i erased that thought of mine and went on with the flow. After some time we headed to my other friend and then left to go somewhere. I thought we were going to my friend's house because that was the plan. My head was full of question marks when we got out of the tricycle and i saw the Clarissa Resort sign. After a few step my two friends then took out a blindfold out of their bags and began to cover my eyes. That was the time when i now know everything. But then of course i was still wondering why they were doing that. Then we arrived at the place, i was so shocked to see every one of my friends there. Even two teachers of ours were there to surprise me. Gosh i couldn't explain my emotions then. But i can say it was the greatest feeling ever. The greatest day ever.


Special thanks to Euriklea Estrada who planned the party. Also to Ma'am  Guillet and Enriquez who were there. Also to my two buds/churchmates - you know who you are :D
And thanks to my whole batch.

What a morning!

This morning, October 9, 2009 at approximately 3 o'clock in the morning; my father woke my sister and I up. He was shouting "baha!" meaning flood. When my sister and I heard that, we couldn't believe it because we were in the second floor of the apartment we are currently renting. When we got out of the bed, it was only then that we believed our dad. To make things worst, there was no electricity but good thing we had a big flashlight to help us.
We then got a dustpan, a mop, boots and raincoat for our dad to use. He went outside to the balcony and realized that the problem occured outside. The whole day and night, the rain kept pouring non-stop and the water in our balcony wouldn't go down, forcing the water to enter the second floor of our house. Thank God that the first floor wasn't wet at all because most of our electronic stuff were kept there. After around 30 minutes we managed to take out the water inside the room. Gosh, what an experience.
Thank God nothing happened to us. Thank God our things weren't ruined.


Wow. I'll never forget this.

Rollercoaster Ride

Wow. I had the most hectic weekend of my life. Kinda like a roller coaster i should say 'cause everything's going great but things suddenly surprise me out of no where. Well anyway it's all fine now and i thank God for that - answered prayers.

Well, anyways hectic schedule also. And we have around 4 days to pack. Gosh, to be honest, our house is such a mess. Can't believe there's even room to walk around here. *laughs And our final exam's next week already. Gosh, i'm so not in the mood to study anymore. My mind is revolving around Germany and the things needed to be done before i leave. *sigh , so frustrating. I'm happy, but so confused. *laughs.

Need to research now. And do my homework. And make an article. And help pack.
ROLLER COASTER. The word for my week. (:

The Best Few Weeks Left

Everything is turning out great. Far from what i expected. Gosh, i've tried many "firsts" these past few weeks. Very funny i should say. I tried for the first time to be embarrased about my "visitor" but it was okay for most. Broadway musical was the best. I also tried dancing for the doxology during teacher's day. It was great! even if i had a mistake on my turn. And dinner with my friends after the event. Well need i say more? The best! So fun. lakas trip or out of the world experience. Imagine us all in formal attires? And there comes September 30, the day i won't forget. *smiles

Hay, everyone is making me feel like i'm not going away yet and i thank them for it. Though some are already saying goodbye which i can't blame them for doing 'cause i'm doing the same thing. *laughs.

Think about it, there's so many things and so many people for me to miss but they only have me to miss. Kind of unfair to be honest. But yes, life will go on as I always say.

My Days Are Numbered

Oh gosh. 1 month and 2 days left till we leave this country. I can't really express what i feel; i don't know if i am happy or sad. This mixed emotions of mine is starting to bug me. I cry at times but i guess i try to smile every now and then to show that i am strong and okay with the situation that i am in.
Wow, Not only am i going to leave my friends behind, but i'm also going to be leaving the greatest person i have ever met. I'll also be missing out on a lot of stuff at school if we leave. Even graduation with the greatest batch ever. The perfect plan of performing in the plaza for SBO is also shattered by the plan of my parents. But i guess that's life, and i have to deal with it. I've got no choice anyway. I guess they know what's best for me, and for them, leaving is what's best for all of us.

I'll just make the most of my time here. It's hard, but i'll be saying goodbye soon.
