isang sorpresa

gumana na naman ang aking pagiging malikhain at nakaisip ako ng isang napakagandang sorpresa.. (salamat nga pala kay jan at nagkaintindihan ang mga utak natin).. isa itong sorpresa kaya't hindi ko muna sasabihin.. ito ay para sa dalawang tao na naging espesyal sa buhay ko at pati narin sa iba ko pang mga kaibigan (sana).. :)

on shifting and jaywalking...

last saturday, my mom dropped me off at the Irwin Theater for our Freshman Academic Orientation.. on our way there, she said a lot of things about a myriad topics.. at one point her statement went like this, "Kapag mag-shift ka.. (pause)" then my thoughts went wild.. how'd she know about this? i was only thinking of this.. nobody else knew aside from my blockmates.. i had my hopes up, because she sounded so "cheerful".. but then she finished her statement, "..ng gears, kailangan hindi sa pag-turn." ahhhhhhhhh! she was talking about shifting gears!! she was giving a lecture on driving!

(if you're wondering, sa Panitikan po... gets?)

last monday, i jaywalked! hehe.. good thing there was no authority to "punish" me or something.. hehe.. that was so embarrassing.. i totally fogot what jaywalking meant.. :p

i have a new pair of shoes! wahaha.. as if you care, right? hehe.. taray! walalang.. just wanted to say it.. :) sa wakas napalitan na ang aking naghihingalo na rubber shoes.. that old one ay noong second year high school pa ako 'no! at talagang nakanganga na.. :-O it's "beyond repair"..

eto lang ang masasabi ko sa nangyari sa akin noong friday:
everything happens for a purpose,
we may not see the reason for it all now,
but trust in the Lord,
that everything is for the best...

at mayroon ngang rason kung bakit iyon nangyari.. haay, talagang mahiwaga ang ating buhay..

ishpeyshal meynshon:

"it's nice to share your dreams with someone that cares for you because you know that somewhere there's a person who's hoping with you. thanks. Ü"

you know who you are... :)

and i really appreciate my sharing of that dream of mine with you.. thanks.

college made me sweeter...

simula nang tumuntong ako sa kolehiyo, napakarami nang nakapagsabing ako raw ay "sweet" na tao.. hindi naman ako nasasabihan ng ganoon noong ako ay nasa hayskul, kaya't napaisip ako..



when i look at it, there has really been a change in my behavior and actions.. from what i've introspected, i've seen that i have been more thoughtful of others.. it has also become my habit now to hug or to hold a friend's hand even if that person and i aren't that close yet..



talaga nga bang "college has made me sweeter"? hmm.. ito ang isang teorya: dahil sa mga hirap at pressure na dulot ng kolehiyo, naisip ko na natural lamang na naghanap ako ng mga karamay sa paghihirap na ito.. nabasa ko sa isang e-mail na iyong mga taong naroroon lamang parati para sa ibang tao ay sila mismo ang nangangailangan ng suporta.. hindi kaya ganoon ang kalagayan ko?



i became a "sweet person" because i in turn needed care and affection? makes sense, doesn't it?



please give me your thoughts.. i need them..

Prayer of Rupert Mayer

Lord, what you will let it be so.

Where You will, there we will go.

What is Your will? Help us to know.

Lord, when You will, the time is

right. In You there's joy in strife.

For Your will I'll give my life.



To ease your burden brings no pain.

To forego all for You is gain, as long

as I in You remain.



Because You will it it is best.

Because You will it we are blest

Till in Your hands, our hearts find

rest, our hearts find rest. Till in

Your hands our hearts find rest.



-Blessed Rupert Mayer, SJ

keso at kanin

yum! mayroon akong bagong nadiskubring pag-tripan na pagkain.. mainit na kanin at keso.. haay, heben pare! :) LOL.. grabe, nakakaadik talaga! ang sarap! iyon ang kinain ko ngayong hapunan.. na-bore kasi ako sa adobong manok (though masarap siya ha!, i just needed some vareity! haha, arte!) sarap! :)



haaay, nakakataba naman ng puso.. ako'y nag-blog hopping kanina, at isa sa mga napuntahan ko ay ang kay (ate) tish, ang aking minamahal na INTACT faci.. *hello ate tish!*



ang saya tumambay sa filipiniana section ng rizal library.. haha.. iyon na ata ang aking magiging bagong "tambayan" sa mga panahon ng aking pag-iisa sa campus.. haha.. (bukod sa may entrance ng Gesu kung saan kinahihiligan kong magsulat sa aking aklat-buhay, habang nagpapakasenti at kinakausap si Lord :D).. nakakaaliw doon dahil hindi maaaring ilabas ang mga aklat, kundi tutunog ang malaking "book-detector" (pauso ng term, LOL).. hahahaha..



yehey, tatambay ako bukas sa org room ng ACMG! 'pagkat Tambay Week na! hahaha.. (may saysay naman ah!).. hahaha..



sige na nga, wala nang saysay ang mga ipinagsusulat (o itinatayp? LOL) ko dito..



hanggang sa muli!

A Song For Mary

We stand on a hill

Between the earth and sky

Now all is still

Where Loyola's colors fly

Our course is run

And the setting sun

Ends Ateneo's day,

Eyes are dry at the last goodbye;

This is the Ateneo way.



Mary for you!

For your white and blue!

We pray you'll keep us, Mary

Constantly true!

We pray you'll keep us, Mary

Faithful to you!



Down from the hill,

Down to the world go I;

Rememb'ring still,

How the bright Blue Eagles fly.

Through joy and tears,

Through the laughing years,

We sing our battle song:

Win or lose,

It's the school we choose;

This is the place where we belong!



Mary for you!

For your white and blue!

We pray you'll keep us, Mary

Constantly true!

We pray you'll keep us, Mary

Faithful to you!

ate jaz, "cupcake" musta na? i'm sori kung d pa kita nagagawan ng testimonial... busy kasi... musta admu? i hopa makapasa din ako, para kasama na ulit tayo! hehee... ryt now i'm doing an essay... sobrang made me think... how's life? hpe ok naman. just kip up the good work! mis na kita. sige. tc.

awwww.. ang sweet ng "honey" ko ano? hehe.. i suddenly miss him tuloy, and of course all my other BRAVE anaks and kapatids and most especially our nanay.. = c .. sad.. fyi, Elijah is not "what you think he is".. hehe.. he's not "honey" as in "honey".. gets? hmm.. let me explain further.. Elijah is not my boyfriend.. peroid! hahaha.. well, here's how it all started...

it was during last school year's High School Dance.. we decided to play a joke on everyone.. we pretended that we were "lovers".. haha.. man! we fooled a lot of people! a lot of people believed that we were actually in a relationship! hahaha.. galing natin honey! :) so since then, we started calling each other as "honey" and "cupcake".. hehe.. how sweet! (baduy!) ..

ok, back to reality.. i miss my anaks and kapatids and most especially our nanay.. sigh.. i want to go back to bene and give them all a nice long HUG! i want to see their warm smiles, hear their nice voices, sweet laughs, and lovely stories.. i just want to spend at least an hour or two with them, but of course the longer it would be, then i'd be more glad.. (tama ba ang parallelism ko? haha) sigh.. i miss you guys! i love you all! take care of yourselves, ok? do update me on whatever is happening with your lives! aral naman kayo sa AdMU para magkakasama tayo! hahaha.. joke.. it's your choice wherever you want to study.. suportahan ko kayo.. :) if you ever need anything, don't ever hesitate to approach (or at least text or contact) me ok? i'll be always here for all of you! syempre naman 'no, para saan ba ang "mommy jas" ninyo? :)

i love you all! *MWAH*

sense of home

yesterday, when we were on our way to bf parañaque, i felt a sense of being at home.. i suddenly forgot that i now lived at san juan.. i thought we just came from somewhere and were already going home to our house in bf parañaque.. =C but then reality struck me. it has been almost three years since we moved to our new house at san juan, yet my heart still finds it hard to accept that fact.. that house is just a house.. it's not a home for me.. so you may ask, what is the difference of a HOUSE and a HOME?

let me share to you something i learned from a priest during one the many sermons i've heard during Masses..

HOUSE.. a house is just an architectural structure.. simply put, "four walls and a roof".. the literal translation of the word house is BAHAY.. BAHAY- Y --> BAHA.. baha, or flood symbolizes chaos, hardships, or problems a family encounters in a HOUSE.. but a HOME.. the home goes beyond that perception.. it is something abstract, like love, or heaven.. again, its literal translation is TAHANAN.. TAHA+ NA -->TAHANA(N) .. "taha na" are words used for reassurance.. these are words a mother uses when her child is hurt.. when her child is crying.. it is a symbol of the love and comfort a HOME brings to a family..

so.. am i making a point here? :) i do hope so.. just wanted to share a point that i think is very important.. a HOME may not be a physical structure.. one may feel at home in a group of people.. one may feel at home anywhere.. yet, a HOUSE is jsut a structure.. a material thing that may be lost...

anyway, enough about HOMEs and HOUSEs.. i got to go now to attend to important things (naks!).. see yah! :)

bonding session at starbucks

roy, (ate) regina, and i had a bonding session last night at starbucks (naks!) thanks by the way to roy for treating us! yum, sarap ng cookie and brownies! :) i had a really great time last night with both of you! :) i'm looking forward to our next bonding session.. i love you!! :D

UP Shirt

weeeeeee.. :) i bought myself a UP Shirt just today! :) so you're wondering, "aren't you an atenean? why buy a UP shirt?".. well, aside from it's my dream school, i'm starting a collection of different school shirts! so if you're from a different school from where i am currently studying, i would greatly appreciate if you buy me one! kahit na bayaran kita! kasi naman, hindi ko naman kayang pumunta sa bawat paaralan para bumili ng shirt 'no! :) i don't know what my size is.. it really depends on the type of the shirt.. here in ateneo, specifically at the A Shop, XL usually fits me.. as for the UP shirt that i bought, it's Small.. hehe.. how odd.. :) well, siguro naman alam niyo kung ano itsura ko.. hmmm.. well, anyway.. :)



i got lost at UP this afternoon.. i made a wrong turn in one of the streets.. hmm.. well, at least i still found my way back to the Abelardo Hall.. :) weeeh! i'm sooo excited! i'll be taking up extension classes on flute next semester! it costs php3,600 (+php100 for processing).. there will be 14 lessons, once a week.. yey!! :D



hmm.. i haven't printed a wacky picture of myself for my ASLA Appli.. i wonder why they need a wacky picture? blackmail? hahaha.. well, actually, i still need to write two more essays.. waaah.. procrastination is my worst habit! :(



well, i think that's about all for today.. see yah! :)
