a simple memory...

I don't really know how can I be remembered in this lifetime or how can I make difference. But one thing that first came to my mind when I heard of these questions is that..

I wanna make a difference in this lifetime by sharing the gospel of the Lord to those who don't know Him yet. I will make them accept God as their Lord and Savior. And thus, when they do that, It would be the greatest change in their lives, for they will be saved and they will surely have a place in heaven someday.

And with this, I know I will be remembered by those people whom I shared the love of God.

my personal mission statement

I believe in Jesus' unfailing love and that He will reamin faithful forever even if we're not.

As a daughter, I'll do my best to make them proud of me and I'll love them no matter what.

As a sister, I'll respect them, love them, and stay sweet to them. (until our hair turns white...hehe)

As a leader, I'll do my best for my group, I'll be responsible, I'll respect my groupmates' opinions and I'll cooperate with my members.

As a student, I'll study hard and do anything that is tasked to me.

As a friend, I'll never leave my friends and I'll help them when they need me or even if they don't.

As a member of the DLSU-Manila community, I'll respect my school and be proud of it.

As a citizen of the Philippines, I'll follow the laws and I'll respect the leaders of this country.

years from now...

hmm..time flies. And I can't even imagine that I'm already a college student. It was just like yesterday when I see myself playing in our school playground with little kids who is just like me.- a small little child...that seems to have no idea of his/her future.

Now, time has come that we have to plan and set a goal...we need to plan our future. we need to set our finish line.

There are so many goals that I want to fullfill in this life. But, only time can tell what will happen...

I just hope that...
5 yrs. from now- I'd be working on a good company or I'd be engaging on our family business.

10 yrs. from now, I'd have a better job (maybe a higher position). And I'd be with someone who will love me and never leave me until death..haha!!!....and Lastly,

20 yrs. from now, I'm with my own happy and stable family. (Sana nabili ko na this time ung dream car ko..haha!!)

plans? plans? plans?

tsk!tsk!tsk!...on our PERSEF subject last last monday (June 4), we we're told to list down our talents and weaknesses on a sheet of paper. Actually, I really really don't know where to start. I can't think of what to write!!... so, I just guessed of something I'm good at and I'm bad at. I'm not sure of the things I wrote, but still...I'm happy! because my paper already has something on it. haha!

After listing those things, we we're also tasked to list our "action plans" (which I wanna enumerate now!haha!) in getting rid of our weaknesses. hmmmm...first, I really wanna ask the help of God, I wanna ask Him to guide me (and my blockmates) and to share us the wisdom to learn and to understand all of our lessons. I also wanna ask Him to give us the willingness to learn. Second, I will seek help from my parent and my sisters to encourage me and remind me to study HARD! (for my future!) Third, I will balnce my time. (Explaining that...) I will study FIRST before I do other things like going out or shopping, sleeping, watching, playing, or whatever that isn't really connected with STUDYING. Lastly, I will do my best! (That's my motto!...haha!"Do your best and God will do the rest."- I read that from the Bible but I can't remember the verse...hehe)

haaay! that's my action plans. Hope I can do it!...haha! Goodluck to me! (and also to my blockmates)...=)

bad day... =(

june 11, 2007 - thanks to GMA, its a holiday! yahooo!! woke up early in the morning just to do something that my sisters and i have not done for quite some time since school started - shopping! =)

we could not afford to get home late, so we listed the stuffs we planned on buying and agreed to leave the house before lunchtime.

and so it happened, we left the house without taking lunch, however, we reached glorietta at 1pm already.. late, but we were too happy to mind. =) we had lunch at TGIF's, one of our favorite restos.. food arrived super late, as in we ate at around 2pm already! too bad, but still not bad enough to ruin the day (the day we've anticipated for so long, hahaha!)

3pm came, its time to do the shopping! the mall was having a sale - we did not know whether to be happy about it or not. but soon enough, we were able to find out... apparently, the mall was full-packed! sobrang siksikan that its really hard to find a nice pair of jeans or a shirt! this is the very reason why we're not really fond of sales.. and so by now, you must have guessed? yup,we did not have fun and yup, i wasnt able to buy anything - not one thing! (if i was able to buy something then this would not have been a bad day.. haha)

we finished early, 6pm we were already at the carpark, not yet heading for the exit though, instead looking for the parking ticket! we lost it - well, almost, haha.. we found it under the driver's seat (after looking for it for 10 mins!)

7pm. home again.. tired. wasted. our feet hurting. disappointed.

to top it all off, i fell sick that night.. whattttaday!

happy pill OVERDOSE!! =)

for the first time in so many weeks, i feel happy. not that i don't feel happy when i'm in school or when i'm out with my family. it's just that i haven't seen my bestfriend, joy in ages! (im exaggerating, hehe..) so it's the kind of happiness a person feels when she's with someone whom she can fool around with, talk about secrets with, and etc etc.. (you know, the bestfriends thing?)

ok.. so here's how it happened. my sister and her friends were planning to watch Ocean's 13 that friday night. I haven't seen the two previous installments, and so, i'm not really interested in watching the third one.. at first i felt i had no choice but to join them since she's picking me up from school and we'll probably head straight to the movie house due to lack of time. but that moment, the brilliant idea struck me and i could not help but take opportunity of the moment.. haha! and so i asked (wait, i think i BEGGED..) my sister to just drop me off at Joy's house before heading for the cinema.. to my delight, she agreed and plus, she bought me food to bring along!!! =)


so there i was, with joy- my bestfriend for so many many years.. (we met in nursery..) we chatted and laughed and sang and danced.. and of course, took a lot of pics.. we hardly noticed that it was already getting very late, not until my sister called to tell me that she's already coming to pick me up. nevertheless, it was really really fun catching up with her. i really missed her stories and jokes.. up till now, i still smile whenever i remember the things we talked about that night. =)


to give you an idea of our "kalokohan" that night, here's an old pic of ours which we tried to copy that night... =)


that's me on the left, and joy on the right.. we were in grade 1 then..

.. and here's our new version..

On University Matters:

Happy and contented-I was when I received my letter of acception from De La Salle University-Manila. Out of the four outstanding universities in the Philippines, this is where I dreamt of studying college. And now, I'm in it.

On Study Matters:

I've just started officially my new "life" this week. Fourth day on the job and already, we we're given a short quiz from our most terror professor in computer programming subject. So okay, we all studied super hard for this test. Thankfully, the quiz was a give-away, it was easy. Also because he discussed it first before we had the test. After that, we realized, he's not that kind of a horror. thank the Lord!

On Friend Matters:

Luckiest thing, I had a company. Meaning, I had an old friend in the block. We both came from the same high school. Together, we made friends with other blockmates. God really loves us and blesses us. Not more than a day, we already had new friends that we can be with through out this "new life" we're into.

On Being Active Matters:

Different people, on diferent conversations, told me this week that I should go into more and more extra curricular activities. They once told me: "Being active in college starts best in the frosh years." She told me that because according to her, being an officer in college is so much different than in high school, because now, it's so much of a politics. An officer must have connections to school staffs to make a certain plan on their certain oraganization-successfull. I became somewhat frightened. But, I already set my mind that I would try new things now and I would be brave enough to face things eagerly.

On Professor Matters:

"Lord,Thank You...so much!"- that's what I thought of, when I met all of my professors. Because, they we're all better than the professors in the stories of higher batches of students. "Yes!"

On Food Matters:

Discovery! aha! I just discovered that foods in the school canteen tastes like home. haha! Almost all of them are Filipino foods-home style! But my happiness turned to sadness because the prices are kinda high. Only for a cup of rice and a little bit of "ulam"-it would cost at about 85 pesos, plus, the drinks...maybe almost 110 pesos already. This would really make my pocket empty! But I'm still thankful because I only need to eat at school for 2 days a week..-that's my schedule. Yes! Still the Lord blesses me.


On Other Matters:

"I miss my high school friends!...super! especially my best friends!" I can't see them everyday anymore now. It's so sad. Gratefully, I also had friends who studies at DLSU. So sometimes we all eat together and have our bonding time. I also had the chance to introduce them to my new friends.-we're all so happy together! We have our best times in ouyr U breaks and fridays because during fridays, my class starts late-3:40 in the afternoon. we can have our bonding time early.
My bestfriends will visit me this coming wednesday U break. And I'm so excited to see them! "Does God loves me?"-"YES!!! SO MUCH!!!"
