GOOD Morning

Good morning city!
I woke up 11:00 A.M. and my initial thought was, "Noooo! I hate this. Why this late?" I was sitting with my eyes close, nagging to myself. The scene was woeful.


In minutes, there was a change. The what I expect to be a bad wake up turned out to be the opposite.


I sent my two friends a message and both wondered why I seem so happy, more like something happened for sure that lead me to this kind of great mood. I can't blame them. I, myself was uncertain of the reason. For weeks, maybe months, I've been under pressure, worry, and stress, harassed by the problems and responsibilities (bright side: opportunities) brought by the school, organizations, and even home.


To finally stop my friends' allegation of me hiding something, I thought over and listed the reasons behind my smile today: (I told them only four because the others were later realized.)


1. As I went to the window to let the light in my room, I am so happy to see that it's no longer raining hard. It's cloudy, but not as stormy as the past two days. I prayed for this, to not experience the depression typhoon "Ondoy" brought last 2009. The past two days were almost like being in that same state again and I am very grateful that today, no more scary and harmful rain, wind, and flood.

2. Classes for June 25 are suspended as announced last evening. It's funny that when schools finally decide to suspend classes for the next day (which is actually good than having late announcements putting people's safety at risk,) there would be no more signs of storm when that day comes. I can see students having that big, silly grins! Ahaha.

3. Though waking up late gives me headache and a heavy feeling for the rest of the day, maybe it's not so bad after having only 3 to 5-hour-sleep on regular schooldays.

4. Discovered from TLC that such "chocolatier" exists. According to Wikipedia (what a lazy choice,) chocolatiers are those who make confectionery from chocolate and they are different from chocolate makers. Imagine being an expert on chocolates. It makes me want to be one as well!
I can't remember the last time I spent time at the kitchen. My favorites: Milo in my fave mug, hotdogs and fried rice! Yey!
5. I fixed my bed, did my hair a bun in just a single attempt, cooked my breakfast, had my Milo, watched the T.V., texted, and now blogging. This feeling of just relaxing, I missed! Let me set aside the frustrating assignments, please.

6. I am not a bible person, but I have this habit of opening it once a day with my eyes close and my index finger pointing to wherever it lands. Today this is what I got - Hebrews 8:11 "None of them shall teach his neighbor, and none his brother, saying, 'Know the Lord,' for all shall know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them." 

7. It's Michael Jackson's 2nd death anniversary today, and I'm playing this song in repeat as a tribute. My favorite of all the MJ songs.
                   
8. There is no someone in particular behind this. Reasons that doesn't need to cost so much are responsible for this light and happy heart. I hope this last.

They say loneliness is contagious, that makes happiness one too, right? 

Live today :)

Headache

Don't rush, you have all the time in the world. 

Life is short. You will never know what's in it for you tomorrow.

 What a complete perplexity.

Yes

A time to cry each day.
My necessity.

To Whom It May Concern #3

Why am I still up? Because I want to finish what I can finish now.
Done republishing my wear-abouts, updating sites, and taking chances over an offer.
Because today, June 10 (Friday) is my last day in Pampanga.
I don't want to be with world wide web later.
I want this day to be spent with my niece Iah and family.

I still want to do a lot. This year's summer is very different from my last.
I want to have my last visits to my Castro and Bingcang family, some of my friends I haven't seen yet and to my gurdian angels too. I'm sorry if I can no longer do.

So I'm hoping to feel happy when I leave on Saturday.
I must smile. After all, I got a long rest and I got to stay here for summer :')
I baby-sitted Iah, and I hope she'll still remember me after months.

I'll miss everyone, everything in here. I'll see you again my hometown. 
To my family, friends in Pampanga, THANK YOU for making my summer.
I'll see you all later. I love you guys.

Walk and Talk

Realised that I'm leaving in a week and I wanna meet them.
Them = my best friends
One late evening, they granted my invitation which I delivered via text message.
3rd of June, Friday afternoon (A Walk We Will Remember)
Another money-don't matter-Day
To this people: Bab, Mush, Gran, and Kapwa, I THANK YOU.
I love you all and I'll miss you.
You made my summer 2011

Thanks Navarro Family for providing us lunch! Yey for hotdogs and Chocomani! :)

With Gran
The camera-lover and her opposite
Stick-O with them is a must
Visitors
Action speaks louder than words
ICE CANDY! And we're guessing that Neren lives here!
Yellow!
We walked around the subdivision
Among the failed jump shots
As we mind our own respective businesses
There were a lot of old (vintage-looking) yet cool cars and other vehicles there
Gran across the street, as we wait for her to get her ride.

A Day of Terms

7th of June, Tuesday afternoon.
I knew that even without having enough budget for this day out, 
there wouldn't be any problem. 
We decided to meet having no clear plans of doing and going nowhere.
Endless stories to share with and a little time together will not cost much.
The most used words were the and term. 
Most remarkable "the terms" are Motibo and Red Ants.
A little catch-up is more than enough,
thank you to my dearest Ate Chen for your time. 
You made my summer 2011.


self-timed shot
And again.
She requested for a lot of this. She calls it "pang-primary (sa fb)"
Beautiful :)
We were suppose to visit Soulmate but the jeepneys are full. We decided to have fries and McFloat at the nearest Mcdo. The newest in Angeles! t was my first time there, ahaha. We even added Cheesy to our meal, ahaha!
Last photo together while I wait for a ride home! (by phone)

Dear Graduates

I have planned of posting this on the exact date of your graduation (April 30), so I'm sorry that I have only finished this now. I just want to CONGRATULATE you all for getting through college, with that, I also want to send you my sincerest thank you. Sorry for this ka-ek-ekan, I just want to let you know how I'll truly miss you all and how much happy I am to meet you all before you graduate and leave Lyceum.

If you got here because I sent you a personal message at fb, it's for a reason, it simply means that I mentioned you here. Just kindly press ctrl+f (or command+f) and look for your names to easily find them :) 

Maria Ezra Vinta 
My first ate in LPU. First encounter was for the production. Ate, kahit matagal na to, I am very sorry kung di ako nagising ng maaga sa production day niyo, sorry talaga ulet. And I want to thank you for seeing what you saw in me. Super waley akong confidence noon and you've helped me earn some of it. Kahit minsan, pinangungunahan pa din ako ng hiya. Kung anong kaya kong gawin sa pagsayaw ngayon, malaking part ka no'n Ate. Though di ako super galing, you always reminded me na kaya ko pang mag-improve. Aside from dancing, you were also there when I needed someone to cry with. Salamat sa pakikinig at sa pagreremind about God's love. I have always looked up to you Ate. Kahit magkasalubong tayo sa hallway ng nagmamadali, thank you kasi you never hesitated to hug me or say hi, kahit most of those times, nahihiya akong unang mag-approach. Salamat ng marami sa lahat Ate Mariz. I'll definitely miss you and I'll never stop hoping that someday makapag- dance workshop kami ulit with you. Ang dami kong natutunan from you and forever will I treasure those. Maraming salamat. I love you ate.

All because of SAC and School Election.

Gen Abanilla
Like those people that I'll be mentioning here after you, una siguro kitang nakita nung election and other school events. I also have to admit that back then, I have always thought na parang di kayo nahihirapan mag-aral and mahilig pumartey until I saw myself in this crowd of people na pinagsasabihan mo. That SAC experience made me realize na grabihan din pala kayong magtrabaho pag-seryoso na. Takbo kung takbo. Puro kasi kayo patawa nina Kuya Rei pag nakikita ko kayo, pa-easy-easy lagi ang appeal sa madla, ibang klase pang fumashion. During this sermon session in SAC, I remember you saying something like Bakit kailangang mag-make-up, e hindi naman tayo ang magiging center ng attention dun. That made an impact, super whoa. Mas nakilala ko kayo when we needed to prepare for the election, super hands down ako sa commitment and discipline niyo. One thing I won't forget about you is your laugh, nakakaloka kasi, ahaha. Ate Gen, I won't regret saying yes to your offer, masaya akong makilala at makatrabaho ka kahit sandali lang. I admire you. Playing is different from working, lagi kong nakikita sayo yon. Salamat sa pag-aalaga sa'min, sa walang sawang pag-intindi at pag-guide. Salamat sa mga sermon na tagos sa puso dahil totoo. Thank you for the trust. I was only a stranger whom you never heard-of and yet you believed in me. Mamimiss kita, kahit super irita akong marinig na tinatawag akong “Be,” super mamimiss pa rin kita. I am grateful to meet you. I already told you this before but let me say it again. I will forever be a proud daughter of Shalani and that's how I want to be remembered as I graduate and leave LPU. Dahil ang pinalaki ni Shalani, Lalaking mabuti :')

Rei Buesing
Sinong bang makakalimot sa Fun Fun Fun PRO ng last year's election? Ahaha. I also remember you hosting events, walking around LPU with that cool style, and being the president of LYCAJ. Like Ate Gen, if not because of SAC and PAMANA, I won't know the real you. Kuya Rei, mamimiss ko mga pa-segue mong kalokohan, yung tipong nanenermon si Ate Gen tapos hihirit ka at matatawa kami. Trabaho kung trabaho pero di rin masamang tumawa minsan – that's what I saw in you. Aside from that, I won't forget how you complemented my outfit for our pictorial, you said na favorite mo na ko. I don't really expect that I'll be your fave forever but hearing it from you is sooooooo much for me. I adore your courage to wear anything you like, di kasi ako ganun ka-brave in spite of being a bit fashion - conscious. When you said na gusto mo suot ko at little accessories na lang kailangan, call me exaggerating, pero amen ang mapuri ng someone like you. Until now, nandito pa din sa draft ng phone ko yung address mo, I saved that nung first time kong pupunta sanyo at nawala ako! Ahaha. Tuwang-tuwa din ako when you call me and others t*ng*na, Ahaha. I don't like hearing foul words, pero your way of saying them to people, super nakakatuwa. I know that behind that, lambing mo na siguro yun, ahaha. Tulad ng iba, I can't imagine next sem without you. Iba e. At sayang. Ganun pa man, I am happy for whatever it is that you're doing now, di mo pa man ma-confirm, dama namin ang ligaya mo, kasi alam namin you love what you're doing. Namimiss ko na yung pagstay sa inyo ng magdamag, salamat sa pagtanggap. Thank you for believing in me too. I will always check your site, I look up to you also just like I do to every name I included here. I'll miss you and sana makadalaw pa rin kayoooo.

Kimie Llanes
Kung di ko alam ipronounce ang surname ni kuya Rei, with yours naman, di ko alam ang real name mo. Is it just Kimie, or Kim? Maybe Kimberly. Ahaha, but that doesn't mean I don't love you ate. Kahit lagi mo kong inaapi at inaaasar, I saw your sweetness side. I first saw you play that funny role during the LYCAJ's general assembly. Ikaw yung batang baligtad yung damit at nasasakal na. Sakit sa tiyan ng role mo, nakakatuwa e. Again, PAMANA gave way to my chance of meeting you. You were there on the shoot too and you said I was cute, so na-flatter naman ako, ahaha. You always play silly pranks on me and I have to admit, you always succeed! I almost cried that saturday morning when I came late and you kept scaring me about Ate Gen! Hindi ko po talaga sinasadya, kaya sorry po. What I did was really unprofessional, I'm sorry for being super late. Pero alam kong proud ka sa'kin ngayon kasi maaga na ko sa mga appointments ko, nadala na. Ate Kimie, mamimiss kita. Lalo na kapag kasi nakakasalubong kita sa hallway, I can see how much happy you are to see me, kahit di ako sure kung may kamiss-miss sa'kin. Kahit kasi nakasama ko kayo for weeks, di pa din ako gan'un ka-confident yakapin lahat ng PAMANAhang masasalubong ko. I'm still too timid, and I thank you for being that expressive to anyone of us. Ate Kimie, remind lang kita ulit ha, single ako! Single! Tama na yung mga issue, ahaha! May tanong ako Ate Kimie, “my boyfriend ka?” “love mo siya?” Ahaha, peace. Ang totoo niyan, tinuruan lang kami nina Klinton itanong sayo yan. Si Kuya Jerick ang utak! Ahaha. Mamimiss ko lahat ng pagpapatawa moooo, super :'( I'll miss you and mahal kita Ate Kimie. Salamat sa pakikisama at pagtanggap. Dalaw – dalaw din ha. You always know how to set the good vibes on, sa lahat na yata ng pagkakataon. Nakakaloka lang na binuhat niyo ko sa may quadrangle, one my best memories with you :') (I just knew na di ka pala nakasabay ng grad with them, pero gagraduate ka pa rin naman :) meaning iiwan mo pa rin kami at mamimiss pa rin kita!)

Hussian Rosalejos
Katawa lang, kasi I thought you're name is pronounced as ha-syan, at ang susyal ah, anuman ang pronunciation. You're one of the busiest student I met in LPU, and I'm really happy dahil nakaraos ka na sa lahat ng school mishaps. Kuya Ssian, I'm missing that smile of yours that never fails to make me laugh, pam-Pep squad! Ahaha, it actually boosts my fighting spirit. Namimiss ko din yung ka-BV-han mo, please take that positively ha? Let's SAC was what I won't forget about you. I admit na inakala kong snob ang circle of friends niyo but you're generous enough to share your smiles even to me who was just a tahi-tahimik photographer of LPU CC then, you are one of those I can approach easily. You also inspired me in a lot of ways, lalo na sa pagtatrabaho. You helped us and thank you for being that supportive. Sana Kuya, in time, matulungan din kita in any way I can to help you lessen your loads. As I can see kasi through you're gm's, you're often stock in sticky situations. I feel bad kasi gusto kong makatulong, pero I end up not being of help at all. Kuya Ssian, may utang pa pala akong vector, I'm super sorry if waley pa din ha? But I really want to make vectors for our dear PAMANAhans, kahit mukhang madugo, carry, ihahabol at ihahabol kahit abutin ng taon. Sana mahintay niyo pa :') I'll miss you Kuya Ssian, super. You once told us na sayang, sana matagal niyo na kaming nakilala at hindi kung kailan gagraduate na kayo... nakakataba ng puso kasi I also hope for that. Ang sarap-sarap malaman na ganun ka na lang naging kasaya to work and be friends with us. Salamat ng marami, mahal na mahal din kita Kuya Ssian.

Ynna Secerio
Ate Ynna, thank you, you're one of the sweetest, pinakamadaling maka-usap at masarap kakwentuhan. You never hesitated to share your stories with us. Sayang nga lang kasi di ka namin nakasama ng matagal compared to the other incumbent leaders, pero kahit pasulput-sulpot ka lang, masaya pa din :') Naalala ko nung tinawagan ka ng Mom mo, tapos sabi mo pauwi ka na, after 5 seconds umamin ka na na kina- kuya Rei pa tayo, ahaha, the best yon. Natutuwa din ako that moment na tinawag mo ko kasi you wanted to talk to me, you wanted to know me better. Tumama ka when you guessed na sumasayaw ako, galing ah. You also said na parang they compare me to you, may resemblance sa dating, ahaha. Siguro sa kakulitan, pero ate, ikaw lang ang oozing secretary, ikaw na ikaw! I'll miss you. Super. I'll miss chatting with you. Nakakatuwa kasi talagang makinig sayo. Thank you sa lahat ng help, sa lahat ng lessons that you shared with us. Good luck sa lahat, at sa inyo ni boyfriend mo na nasa malayo, carry yan ate :) Iloveyou so much Ate Ynna.

Christian Corbeta
Kuya Chaaaaaaaan! Ang Bibbo mo, ahaha. Di man tayo pareho ng department, super pingatawanan mo pagiging kuya sa'min. Salamat dun. Lalo na sa pagiging friendly :') Natutuwa ako kasi ang sweet mo sa lahat, binibeso mo kami pag nakikita mo kami, and I remember na ang CITHM people ang pinakatuwang-tuwang kumanta ng jingle ko nung election. Ahaha, aliw kayo. Sayang kasi di ako ganun ka super close sayo at sa iba, pero when I see you, alam kong di kayo mahirap makasundo. Salamat sa kindness. Mamimiss namin ang mga pakulo sa PAMANA, lalo na yung awarding chuchus na yon. Maraming salamat, and I also hope the best for you :)

Jeremy Lopez
Boss Jem! Ahaha. Super short lang ng chance na makilala ko kayo, but still I'm happy at nakasama ko kayo at you converse with me through texts. Salamat kasi never kang nahiyang i-share yung mga pinagdadaanan mo noon sa school, and I'm happy kasi super open ka. Bihira yung mga ganoong chances kaya I really appreciate it. Isa ka nga siguro sa mga nakita kong pinaka-mayabang pero I knew na you're more than that. Mabait ka, and you're someone who dreams big and takes your ambition seriously. Good luck sa law :) At forgive me kung di talaga ako mahilig magtext, that's the typical me. But rest assured na bawat isa sa'nyong mababanggit ko dito ay important sa'kin :) Naalala ko yung kulit mo sa SAC, ahaha, that time I know di niyo pa ko kilala. Dumalaw-dalaw kayo sa school ha boss! Ay, Jem lang pala. Salamat sa lahat, at balitaan mo pa rin sana ako sa mga kaganapan sa buhay mo :) Thanks for already considering me a friend :)
 

Jo Tamesis, Joey Amad, Jerick Sanchez, Kristina Noelle "Mamu" Andaya, Airiz Casta, Sonny Lim, Debbie Nuñez, Lori Navida, Daniel (Monroe) Jimenez, Vikki Villagracia, Bhem Terrago, Roxanne Pacifico. Kayo po yung mga ate at kuyang nakilala, nakaklase, at nakakwentuhan ko sa ilang subjects ko, nakipagyabangan sa'kin ng scores sa Math quiz, nakasama ko sa outings, nakita ko sa SAC, nag-abot sa'kin ng Jollibee as lunch sa SAC din, naka-mention ko sa twitter, nakapagbenta sa'kin ng ticket ng Love, Laugh, Fun, nakatrabaho ko sa election, naka-add ko sa facebook, naka-like at comment ng photos/status sa fb ulet, nakita sa org meetings, bumati sa MMA exhibit namin, narinig ang mga pangalan mula sa mga mutual friends, kinabiliban ko ng talent sa film, fashion, photography, acting, modeling, banatan, kahit tumblr sites, atbp. Yung mga minsan di ko ineexpect na papansin sa'kin sa hallway, pero iha-Hi pa ko at minsan ngingitian pa. Yung mga super ineexpect kong di ko makakasundo pero hahabol pa pala sa line-up ng mga makikilala ko last sem. Nakakatuwa. Di ko man kayo lahat super naka-close, kasama kayo sa mga mukhang mamimiss ko next sem. Masaya ako na napasa niyo ang mga respective thesis niyo at nakagraduate kayo :) Mukha lang po akong walang paki, pero super grateful ako na maka-interact kayo kahit sa mga chances na halos di niyo na maalala. Medyo nahihiya man ako ngayon sa pagbibigay ko ng message sa'nyo, I would like to let you know na tulad ng hope ko para sa mga pangalan sa taas, sana maging successful din kayo sa outside world. Salamat at kina-usap niyo ko, in-add, binati, nginitian. Lahat ng 'yon, appreciated and remembered.


To the Batch of 2010-2011, CONGRATULATIONS! GOOD LUCK TO YOUR NEXT GREAT LEAP :)

*There, done. I just hope I'm not forgetting anyone. If meron man, di ko siguro alam na 4th year siya. Sorry.
