me & mah cousin..

me and kareen.. she's my cousin.. she looks more mature than me (sabi nila) pero isip bata pa rin yan xa..haha..













she's intelligent and madaldal..kahit ilang beses mo xa pagalitan, ndi xa nagtatnim ng galit(sa akin)..

mah lola..

My lola is already 61 years old and considered to be a senior citizen (hehe). Those pictures are taken last February..

I can really say that she is the best lola I have. I love her so much and I don’t want to lose her. Actually, she is the only grandmother left when I was born. She is my grandmother at the maternal side. In my paternal side, my real grandmother already died before I was born so I do not have the opportunity to meet and be with her. My grandfather had a second wife but I does not consider her as my lola ‘coz I don’t like her though she is good at us.(ayaw din siya nang iba kong pinsan) Well, ndi naman sila kasal kaya okay lang siguro..(I’m so bad talaga) I don’t like her ‘coz she’s wasting the money of my grandfather. She even want my lolo work so that all her debts will be paid..(I hate her) though I do not like her, I must faced her and approach her nicely. That’s why, I consider na isa lang ang lola ko and that is my lola at the mother side.
My lola is the one who took care of me when I was a baby. She always scolds my mom when my mom will be angry if I will cry. Iyakin kasi ako when I was a baby and even now. Hehe. As I grow old, I used to be at my lola’s place. Every Friday afternoon, my parents will bring me at my lola’s house so that she will have a company. My grandmother is a catechist so she is very active in the activities of the church and so I must also be active. When I start being a high school student, I have no more time to be with my grandmother so medyo nagkalaboan na kami. Para makabawi ako, every time may iutos siya sa akin na ipabili or something, I’ll always do it. My lola is also a human being so she is not perfect. She has also the attitude that I do not like. I think, she is not proud at me in terms of the household chores kasi I usually hear her na ala talaga ako alam na work (meron gani, ndi niya lang nakita..) Despite of that, no one can change my lola in my heart (char). My lola is so caring kahit matanda na ako, she don’t want me to suffer from asthma attacks so she always see to it that I’m okay. Sobrang bait nang lola ko. Sometimes, her good attitude became bad for some people. She does not mind what they have been backfighting her because ayaw niya nang gulo.

friends..

“The making of friends, who are real friends,
is the best token we have of a man’s success in life.”

Friends are everywhere and they are not difficult to find but a true and real friend is very difficult to find. We cannot say that those people who are around us are our real and true friends. Some people have other intentions to make friends with us. Some of them are plastic. The more beautiful your heart is, the more true friends you will have. I can say that I have many friends but only few of them are my true friends.
True friends always remember you despite of all their hectic schedules. They are also the one who will or can lessen the pain you are carrying. They are always at your side when you needed them, give frank opinions and comforts you.
Having a friend that is true are difficult to build and if it will be damage, it is very difficult to be repaired. When friends got into trouble or let say having a misunderstanding. If this problem will continue and if no one will step down or eat her pride, the friendship that is being build will be lose readily. But if maagapan pa, expect that the friendship that is being taken cared will not the same as before. Yeah, they will be friends again but it’s different at this time because each member of that group already feel the pain and it will not be lose on their minds. They will always remember it. Parang may gap na if maging friends man ulit.
In my highschool years, I’ve experienced na hindi makipag usap sa isa kong friend because of some reasons. I got mad at her because ginapilit niya ang bagay na ayaw ko, ala siya magawa if ayaw ko sumali. That friend of mine is also my close friend. After that situation, almost all my friends left me and they also talk on me. We became friends again after the recollection.

**yong mga frens q na ala yong faces sa taas.. xenxa :(
yan lang available q na pics eh..**

Camiguin adventure**

Our first trip at Camiguin was so exciting because it’s our first family outing which is out of town for five days. It is also an unforgettable one ‘coz when we have a family outing, it’s very rare to last for almost a week. One of my aunt and her family also joined the trip. Actually, it’s also our first time to go at Camiguin and we are not that familiar with the place so we are accompanied by the friend of my uncle which is a former resident at that place.
My aunt and my mom prepared adobong baboy at manok for our lunch and pack it. We start traveling at around 6 in the morning and we stop at a park in the Cagayan De Oro so that we can have our lunch. I think, that place is intended for those people who were traveling and have their own baon. Before we went back on the car, we took some photos ‘coz at that place you can see a falls which is far from us. After that, we went to the seaport of Cagayan. We were going to ride on a barge going to Camiguin. It took 30 minutes to arrive at the island. When we arrived at the island, our first stop is at the market place so that we have something to eat.
We stayed at a house located near a beach. We rented it for five days and each day costs only 500 pesos. The house is quite beautiful and you can really relax but at night it’s scary ‘coz it’s near on a beach. It’s scary ‘coz my aunt saw a white horse running at night which is very unusual. Despite of that scary thing, we did not seek another house to be rented because it’s already a waste of time.
Within those five days, napuntahan namin yong mga known places at Camiguin. Some of those places are the following:
--sunken cementery (I did not go at the big cross ‘coz sa ilalim ng water na dadaanan ng maliit na bangka ay mga lapida and it’s so scary..i think so..)
--Camiguin Highlands (well, its a small hotel..)
--K*** Falls(I forgot it’s name but I’m pretty sure that it starts on letter K..i’m not able to swim at that place ‘coz its so cold..medyo scary din siya for me..hehe)
--Cold spring and Hot spring(I again forgot it’s name..it’s also a beautiful place.. in this place, we meet a british girl who became our friend at that moment.. friendly kasi kmi.. hehe..)
--*Volcano that erupted*(I also forgot it’s name.. In this place, you can find the different stations of the cross.. Medyo kapagod talaga maglakad doon. They said, when that volcano erupted, some places were being covered by water like the sunken cementery..)
--white island (well.. u have to travel at around 30 minutes to reach their.. it’s so scary because we ride on a small boat and I do not know how to swim..)
We spent all our time with the “laag” and the only time that we can rest are at night. Well, that vacation is so unforgettable and enjoyable.. Aside from the family bonding, we visited different tourists spots at Camiguin..

**summer '08 vacation

Vacation is the time to rest and the time to enjoy because there is nothing to worry about like the requirements, assignments and the project. I can say that a long vacation in the summer is not anymore applicable in the college years especially if the course is nursing. ‘Coz in this course, we have some summer classes to attend to but it’s usually your choice if you want to attend or not.

Last April 2008, I have to choose between two things: to have a vacation for five days or to attend my NSTP graduation. It is difficult to choose because it’s my first time to have a vacation in manila and on the other hand, it is also my first time to attend an NSTP graduation. But in the end, I chose to go to manila and not attend the said activity. The certificate was given on me when I already arrived from manila.

I really enjoyed the five days vacation.. The scary part is on the airport kasi it’s my first time and my aunt, uncle and grandmother is on the other plane and they were the first to go so I travel to manila all by myself.. They just wait on the manila airport so that sabay na kami magpunta sa pasay. Iniwan lang naming ang iba naming gamit sa bahay dun sa pasay and at around 12 am, nagbiyahe kami papunta Baguio. Well, it’s my first time to go there kaya exciting. We arrived there at around 6 in the morning and we rented a house and stay there for how many hours. The rest of the day, todo laag lang sa Baguio. We also went sa PMA, oh my gosh talaga yong mga sundalo doon.. The way they walk, parang robot kasi sabay talaga.. We only stayed 1 day at Baguio though we plan to stay there 2 days. We decided to go back in manila earlier than the expected because ala na masyado place na mapuntahan. Our next stop is at Laguna. We stayed 2 days there because we allot 1 day for Enchanted Kingdom and 1 day for Splash Island. Unfortunately, I’m not able to ride at the space shuttle because it is under rehab..(murag nakadrugs..joke..) I enjoyed most is the Flying fiesta (if u wear sandals, todo kapit dapat ang paa mo para hindi mahulog), Rio grande (always expect that you will go out wet if you enter in this place, but its enjoy) and in the 4D Discovery Theater (hopefully, all cinemas will be like that para hindi matulogan yong movie). The scariest ride is the Jungle Log Jam, it is absolutely dangerous. I swear that I will not ride at that again because it has no safety belts and the only safety precautions is don’t stand (what if u forgot,pwede ka mahulog). The ride Anchors Away is also scary for me.. The rides Wheel of fate (you can see the whole enchanted and the place surrounding it), Up Up and Away (makalipong) and many more. Splash Island on the other hand is also exciting. The unforgettable slide is the Magellans Drop ‘coz it’s so enjoy at the same time scary. The next destination is purely in manila. We went to MOA (Mall of Asia; it has a big space), Trinoma and other malls. We also enter in the Manila Ocean Park. There is so many different kinds of fish, seahorses (first time I see it personally), big sting rays and other.

Over all, I enjoy it so much. It is one of the unforgettable vacation I had.

the legal one

Almost every girl in this world wishes to celebrate there 18th birthday with a big party but because of financial constraints it will not anymore be fulfilled as what they’ve wanted. When my 18th birthday is fast approaching, I did not wish to have a party like having the 18 roses, candles and treasures. All I want to have in that day is just a plain party like the other party that came in my life. I have some reasons why I don’t want to have a big party with all the 18 roses and the like, and that reason is personal. Unfortunately, I’m not the one who will decide to what will be happening on my birthday but my parents and my aunts. They were the one who are so busy arranging the party and I’m not that excited to see the party they have prepared. The only contribution I made is to invite and settle who will be placed in the 18 roses, candles and treasures.
The day before my birthday, I thought the party is all set but as my aunts told me about the attire, we have a little argument. I already told my visitors to where pants but my aunt disagrees because I have to let my visitors wear semi-formal attire. I’m mad because as I texted my friends about the attire, almost all of them back out. On the day of my birthday (before the program starts), I cried because some of the persons listed in the program cannot make it because of some reasons (I know they were just making some excuses). Though my visitors are not that many, the program is successful because the important persons in my life are present.
Despite of what had happened, I’m so grateful that my parents and my aunts made that party because it’s exciting and unforgettable. I am so thankful that my friends really came though one of them got lost and arrived at the party late. (hehe.. sori..) Well, I’m already a young lady, considered as “the legal one” ‘coz pwede nako makulong and a mature girl. In that case, I cannot say that I’m completely matured because I usually depend on my parents but I think I’m responsible enough.. (haha..pagsure..)

losing you..

“I just can’t afford to lose someone like you

‘Coz with you I feel so true

But even if we’re apart,

You’ll always remain in my heart. I love you so much..”

When you lose someone you love, it’s like you also lose a part of yourself. You lose the things you shared, the laughter, the smiles, the good times and even the bad times. The worst part is you will only realize how important he is in your life when he is already gone and you are not anymore part of his life.. well, yan talaga ang nangyayari.. nasa huli nag pagsisisi.. If he already decided to go, mahirap na maibalik ang dati.. ‘Coz sometimes, nasanay na siya and he already get used to it na wala ka na sa life niya..(how sad..) So, if we like it or not, we must let him go.. It’s his choice and don’t even dare to make things worse. Hehe..

They said love conquers all. That’s why when we love someone, don’t ever let go but sometimes it’s that same love that makes us go. ‘Coz no matter how much we want to stay, that person chose to make us go away.. Sad truth is, even if both of you feels great love for each other, even if you know you found the match of your soul, even if you know this is the one that you like to be with, as long as we choose to let go, even destiny cannot bring both of you together. ‘Coz life is not just about destiny.. More often, its about our choice.. (well..it’s undeniably true..) No matter how much you love that person if he wants to go, we must let him go and accept it even if we do not want it because we are not the one holding and dictating their lives. It is so unfair to stop someone and let them stay if they themselves do not want to stay with you. Some relationships were broken not because they do not love each other but because of some hindrances that comes in their way.. Well, relationships does not always have a happy ending.. ‘Coz as what we all know, life is a test and we must realize that each people we meet have a purpose why we meet them.. (char..haha) Some of them comes in our life to used us or just to teach us a lesson..

We chose to let them go because it’s their decision.. we must respect them because we love them.. tama ba?haha.. well,it’s better na maging masaya siya kaysa hadlangan mo ang mga decisions na makapagpapasaya sa kaniya.. well,life must go on guys.. marami pang boys jan,naghihintay na mapansin..(haha..kapal..peace tayo..) But I can say that each person is unique, thus, wala siyang katulad at naiiba siya..
