The HOWS OF US : 

Some of the elements in the movie that i can relate to my reality ❣️ 

(PS hindi po ito spoiler haha)

GOALS
In a growing relationship, hindi mo maiiwasan to make plans for your future — family, business, travels, expenses, etc. It’s a great feeling of fulfillment pag isa-isa naco-crossout ang nasa bucketlist.

PAGOD
Just when you started to love someone, iikot na yung mundo mo sa kanya. You’ll do anything and everything to please him — you will fight his battles, you will stand by his side no matter what, you’ll set aside your appointments just to support him, because you love him. Not realizing that sometimes, enough is enough 😞 that once you let out your emotions, ikaw pa yung bad person kahit na inuna mo na siya before yourself. Minsan ka lang mapagod, kasi ipon na ipon na pala. How will you respond to someone who is giving up?

AMSTERDAM
Ang saya sa feeling Saying the words “i’ve been there!” Pag napuntahan mo ung lugar na set nung movie 😏 but it also made me think about me & Patrick’s fate if we were to migrate & work together in Europe. What would our life be as OFWs?🤔

PALAMUNIN
It’s bothersome and a bit shameful that when you’re in a relationship and your partner has a job/business while you still rely on your parents, you can’t help but think “ano kaya iniisip ng pamilya niya sakin? Na bakit wala akong work? Baka isipin nila umaasa lang din ako sa jowa ko”. Hindi mo sila pinagiisipan ng ganun pero kung ikaw naiisip mo yun, it’s not impossible for them not to feel&think that way too. What should you do about it?

DESERVE
We know what we deserve — a good life, a high paying job, a happy family, a perfect and loving partner, to be happy in all aspects. But sometimes, we can’t have it all. Wishful thinking lang yung iba. Kelangan natin makuntento with what we have, but we must also strive hard to get what we really want. Question is, are you willing to do everything to get what you deserve?

SPACE
sabi nga, holding on damages you more kaya you should learn to let go. Even some plants need space to grow, but some also need others to grow. Bigyan mo ng time mag vent out ang isang tao, give him space to recollect and think about the things he said to you that might have hurt you. Pag okay na kayo, talk. Bad decisions are made when you are really angry or super happy. You need to be understanding and patient for your relationship to work.

LEAVE
Women are complicated. They tell you what you should and shouldn’t do, but what they really want you to do is to do the opposite way. Si Patrick madalas sabihan ako na nakakatampo ako dahil unfair ako or hindi daw niya alam ilugar sarili niya sakin kasi suplada ako sa kanya sa tuwing may ayaw akong ginawa niya. Hindi ko siya kikibuin promise! Before, he’ll do everything just to contact me, just to let me know he’s really sorry, that it annoyed me i told him to stop making kulit when i’m not in the mood. Now, he feeds me with my own medicine —If i dont talk to him, he wont talk to me either. Tapos lalo ako magagalit kasi “mamsh, di man lang ako sinusuyo!!??” Lol. Ganon ka rin ba?

EXPENSES
i’m the type of person who is kuripot/ hindi magastos because lagi ko iniisip may iba pang mas importanteng mapupuntahan ung pera ko. Kaya si Patrick sinasabihan ko din na huwag magastos, to not give me expensive things nor buy me things i dont really need. Hinahawakan ko wallet niya pero hindi ko tinitignan what’s inside, that’s his and not mine ehh. Whether kami man hanggang huli o hindi, para sa kanya din yung maiipon niya, para sa kanya and sa family niya. Controlling ba ko?

PASSION
It’s a joy to fulfill your passion. Na masaya ka sa ginagawa mo not because you needed or asked to bur because you wanted to. Don’t stop even when others are pulling you down, kung meron man dapat unang maniwala sayo, that’s yourself. 😉

—-to be continued. Parang madami pa kong gusto sabihin, at ieedit. Haha.

Cafe Royale

Perks of studying, rather going out alone and being business minded. 

Had an impromptu meeting with the Lead Consultant/ Engineer, Some of the owners, and the supplier of Cafe Royale for my Advertising & Promotions proposal for their business grin emoticon

Was the first to taste their new dish that is still off the menu and doesn't have any name yet . Its pepper pork steak with red wine sauce and potatoes & tomatoes on the side.

Tara!

TARA. Ang salitang sinyales na may lakad kayo. Ang daling sabihin ngunit mahirap gawin. Merong yaya ng yaya pero gusto lang magpa libre. Meron din yayayain ka, tas ikaw si magaayos at maghihintay, yun pala di ka na sisiputin. Meron din magbibigay ng kung anong oras kayo magkikita, ngunit pagdating ng oras hindi magpaparamdam sayo, matapos ang 2 oras dun ka palang kakausapin, maaaring sisiputin ka o drawing. Meron din aayain ka, pero may iba pa pala siyang lakad o may ibang kasama na hindi mo kilala. Meron din sasabihin sayo dadalawin ka o pupuntahan ka, lumipas ang ilang oras nagaalala ka na kasi walang balita sa dadalaw sayo, yun pala may iba ding pinuntahan. Meron din namang magkasama na kayo pero parang di mo din kasama dahil ang tanging kaharap at kausap lang niya yung cellphone niya.

Natamaan ka ba? Masakit? Dont hate. Ito ay pawang katotohanan lamang. Alam niyo sa sarili niyo yan.

Who is Jesus to me?

March 9, 2014

my usual Sunday routine. 

Sunday is the day when i dont get to do nor think about school or work. I always get excited to go to church on Sundays cause i dont know where my feet would take me every week. Today, i attended Sunday Service at Victory San Fernando, as usual, all by myself. I keep praying to God, hoping that one day one of my family would attend church with me, so that they could understand my relationship with Him. Cant help but imagine how my would be if i have my own family already (just a thought). 

After the service, i was taking a selfie as a remembrance of this day, then this girl with me in the picture, volunteered to take the picture (cause maybe i look stupid already hahaha) lol. And then its the start of a new acquaintance :) i met her, Ate Aila Pangilinan, and the rest of the ladies of her Victory Group. For almost a year (i think) this is the first time again that i joined a small group, i mean to exchange ideas with other churchgoers. The group was hospitable and very welcoming that i didnt feel uncomfortable at all. Talking to Ate Aila felt like i was talking to myself hahaha, we were on the same page with all our experiences with our walk with God. I felt great! And again i was reminded that "You are not alone." & that "You're not the only person with that situation" and yes its true!!!:) 

I am very grateful and honored to have met these ladies today. I hope that i could join them again in the next coming weeks. Again, Father God, You never fail to amaze me with how You use people to touch other people's lives. 

Who is Jesus to me? He is the Great I Am! 

My Sunday-Alone-Time Check List

04 January 2014

My Sunday Alone Time Check List

✔️ Sunday Church

Its the Feast of the Epiphany -- which celebrates a time of gift giving. Im my case, this is the day i give myself TIME.. To be myself and to do anything i want.

✔️ To watch a Movie

English Only Please. As usual, nirelate ko na naman sarili ko :)) sobrang TANGA sa pagibig.  Give and give and give, unang mainlove talo! :)) 

✔️ Mexican Bar

First taste of Chimichanga Mexican Bar & Grill. I had the most sumptuous Mexican Dinner -- Beef Burritos, Chili Con Carne, Quesadillas, Extra Spicy Buffalo Wings, a bottle of Beer below zero, and a shot of frozen margarita. Yeaah, butad na naman :))

Young & Free they say. Sometimes its good to date yourself so you can do the things na di naman trip ng mga nakakasama mo. Who cares if im alone, sabi nga ni Queen Elsa "yes im alone but im alone and free!". Get out of your comfort zone & discover the things that you're capable of ; no strings attached.. Life is short. There will be a time na magiging magisa ka talaga, prepare yourself early :) 

DBTI Alumni Homecoming 2016 : PAROKYA NI EDGAR

every year, after our homecoming at Holy Spirit, i always make sure to also attend Don Bosco's alumni homecoming hahahaha. this year was a blast 'cause of Parokya Ni edgar! :)

Thew's #EuroTrip2015 - When In Rome

a week in Italy! :))

actually it's a 30-hour bus ride from Rotterdam to Rome, Italy. It's very tiring cause there's a bus stop to every city like every hour or 2 hours, for 30 freaking hours, ONE WAY! and another 30hours going back.



i get to see the old roman city, the coloseo and for my mom's bday ofcourse the VATICAN! where a filipino toured us, who happens to work for the pope, and he let us in to restricted section inside the vatican and on the peak of the tower :D we had lunch at a small pizzeria near st. peter's and a pasta plate costs 10euro (P500) each! hahaha we also had dinner at a kapampangan restaurant name 'the neighborhood' owned by a Filipino couple from Pampanga. it's amazing how there's so many kapampangan in the city!



our apartment is just near a church and we stayed in the penthouse just me and my mom, and we accidentally locked ourselves INSIDE THE HOUSE on my mom's bday :)) we had to like scream very loud so our neighbors would hear us, and we got no working phones nor wifi! it was cray! then for our last night we get to spend the night in another apartment with a Borgias themed room, slash spooky royalty room where there's already internet and telephone line :)))



//July 6 -11 2015//

Thew's #EuroTrip2015 - From PARIS with love

took a 6-hour bus ride for Rotterdam to Paris with my mom, tante remy & tante jona. first stop the Notre Dame & Pont Des Arts or the Love locks bridge but sadly they took down most of the love locks cause apparantly the railings of the bridge cant hold it much longer. The Tour De eiffel is spectacular! i couldnt believe my eyes that im really here at the foot of eiffel tower. i thought im just going to see it in the movies. We also visited the Arc De Triomphe and its like attempting a suicide just to take a picture with it cause you'd have to stand in the middle of the road where everyone's crossing. Also went to the Louvre and a the very famous Sacre Coeur where you're not allowed to take videos or pictures inside. we're in paris but we ate at mcDonald's for breakfast & CHINESE food for lunch. oh boy!



//July 4 2015//

Thew's #EuroTrip2015 - Evening Run at Ezpinoza Park

it's already 8 in the evening yet the sun is still up like it's 3 or 4 in the afternoon! :)) got to hangout with my oom Carel at the park after my run, he was actually looking out for me and telling the boys at the park "dont stare at my daughter!" jokingly hahahaha



// June 30 2015//

Thew's #EuroTrip2015 - RUN FOR KIKA 2015 in Rotterdam

a fund raising event to support the children around the world with cancer. I love joining fun run events. i just saw the poster in the drugstore like 3 days before the run so i forced my mom and tita that i wanted to join the funrun. haha glad to have been a part of this memorable event.



// JUNE 28 2015 //

Thew's #EuroTrip2015 - One Fine day at Downtown Rotterdam

before going downtown, we had lunch at McDonald's, and gawd!  fastfood here is way expensive, and you have to pay .50cents for every dip you order.. We took the tram going to Rotterdam Centraal station so we could book our bus ticket going to Rome :D i've been using my monopod to do vlogs and the people, esp the kids here, are amazed with it like they'll all be looking and whispering "is that a selfie stick?" cause not like in the philippines that almost everyone owns a monopod, they dont know it here. :))



// June 24 2015//

Thew's #Eurotrip2015 - Mahjong Day on a cold afternoon in Rotterdam

didn't go out to shop today but instead we visited a fellow Pinoy's home for the tanders to play Mahjong. I was the only "kid" there so i went out and check out the neighborhood and it was pretty darn cold!!!. :))



oh i happen to love their street PATAT (potato fries)



// June 23 2015//

Something Unusual (1st time) : Never miss a chance to help

Date : September 6, 2013

papuntang San Miguel, may nakasakay ako sa jeep na 3 mahirap/nangangalakal, Isang Matandang babae, isang teenager na lalake at isang batang babae. At first i was disgusted because they smell really bad. Nang magbayad ang ale ng P7.00, ang sabi ng jeepney driver "kasama mo ba yung dalawang bata? kulang ng bayad niyo" at sagot ng ale "nangangalakal lng naman po kami, yan lang kaya namin" with sadness on her face. the teenager doesnt want to sit dahil nahihiya kaya tumayo na lang siya, pero sinigaw sigawan niya nung driver. Nanlambot yung puso ko dahil wala naman gingawa ung bata ehh, sumbit na nga lang. Kumuha ako ng pera sa bag ko at iniabot sa driver "kuya, bayad po nung bata para makaupo n at wag niyo na hiyain". and then everyone started staring its as if i did something wrong.The little girl was sitting beside me and i heard her talking to her lola "nagugutom na ako" then the ale said "hahanap pa tayo ng pagkukuhanan natin ng pambili." my eyes started to become teary, so i grabbed my wallet ang gave the ale P100 and told her "pasensiya na po yan lang kaya ko ngayon, kumain na po kayo pagkababa niyo." The ale looked at me with a smile on her face and said "maraming salamat anak, kaawaan ka ng Diyos". Hindi maipinta ang mukha nilang tatlo sa ligaya. Nagabot na din sa kanila ng pera ang mga kasakay namin sa jeep, at halos maluha na ang ale. Pagkababa nila sa hrp ng SM, ang sabi ng ale "maraming salamat sa mg tulong niyo, malking bagay ito samin. Gabayan sana kayo ng Diyos at patuloy na tumanggap ng biyaya."

no matter how unfortunate they are, they never lose hope & faith in our Lord.
I was then reminded of the verse "GOD LOVES A CHEERFUL GIVER" & "Honor the Lord with your wealth and with the first fruits of all your produce; then your barns will be filled with plenty,and your vats will be bursting with wine.".

Never miss a chance to give & be a blessing to other people in many ways. :">

Something Unusual (2nd time) : JEEP MOMENTS

Date : November 5, 2013

going home from San Miguel with my usual pay-fare-and-put-on-my-earphones peg, along SM tarlac, a woman made eye contact with me (fyi i dont know her). So i took off my earphones (thought that maybe she knows me & wanted to talk to me) and she smiled at me. And i said "Hello po," she replied with...

"i remember you. Nakasabay na kita magchurch hindi ko alam kelan na, and yung time na yon, you prayed for me. Hindi kita malilimutan dahil nung service na yon, i was feeling down and i really needed someone to talk to me and/or pray for me. Ehh wala kang kasama, so we prayed together. Ang galing ni Lord, i believe na ginamit ka Niya to send a message to me while we practically dont know each other. You prayed for my family & my work, everything you said is like, you've known me for a long time, its as if naikwento ko sayo buhay ko..nastruck ako at na-enlighten ako sa mga sinabi mo. God does work in mysterious ways, & at the right time. gusto ko lang magpasalamat sayo." and i was like.. ughhh. SPEECHLESS! So nasabi ko na lang, "ganyan talaga si Lord. Faith & trust lang kelangan." tapos bumababa na ko sa TSU..

that feeling of making or directing some stranger's life to the right path is very fulfilling and nakakataba ng puso. If only i could cry infront of her knowing that God is working through me and is affecting peoples lives in a good way. Honoring God and pleasing God has never been this awesome. I also believe that when we pray for something or someone, it is the Holy Spirit doing its job through us, its like speaking in tongues, that you wont even remember or have any idea what you've just said / prayed for. We are but instruments in the hands of God...all credit, all honor and all glory belongs to Him and Him alone.
PRAYER WORKS! IT REALLY DOES!

So likewise you, when you have done all those things which you are commanded, say, “We are unprofitable servants. We have done what was our duty to do.” (Luke 17:10)

HIGHLIGHT NG NOV.5 KO ITO!! nabuo araw ko dahil dito. How great is our God, right?

Something Unsual (helped an old lady go home to Cabanatuan)

i was having my nails done at the mall. Sat in the most comfortable way, earphones on & minding my own business.. Can't really hear what everyone else is talking about but there's this old lady (who i thought was also a customer) who was sitting near the front desk and was dictating numbers to two of the staffs.. by the looks of the old lady, i felt that something's not right. so i lowered the volume of my earphones and listened carefully.

OLD LADY : makikisuyo lamang po ako kung maaari niyo pong tawagan ung number na to, hindi po kasi ako makauwi hindi ko alam, nanakawan ako ng pang matrikula ng apo ko kanina sa bus pag baba ko sa metrotown.

BEKI : landline po ba ito? wala naman po kaming load pantawag jan, ang mahal mahal ng pantawag sa landline. Bigyan ka nalang namin ng pera pamasahe kesa pangload namin, edi nakauwi ka pa. (samantalang may landline dun sa salon!!!!!)

OLD LADY : hindi naman ho ako humihingi ng pera sa inyo, nagpapatulong lamang po ako makitawag para po alam doon sa amin.

BEKI : kayanga ho pamasahe na lang ibibigay namin sa inyo para makauwi na kayo.

OLD LADY : (hindi na maipinta ung mukha niya sa hiya at lungkot)

SALON STAFFS : (nagbigay ng barya barya.. may bente naman, pero the rest barya) 

OLD LADY : maraming salamat po. ;(

buti na lang patapos na ako..hindi ko tinanggal ung tingin ko dun sa matanda, buti na lang din mabagal siya maglakad, ung pra bang hindi talaga niya alam ang gagawin niya. sa bwisit kung ano-ano pa pinagsasabi nung mga andun sa salon kesyo daw "bat kasi magisa siya lumalakad, katanda na niya, di na lang niya diretchuhin na kelangan niya ng pera kadami dami pang sinabi. nwawala daw siya, naglakad daw siya metro hanggang dito kalayo-layo! imbyerna.." ughhhh sobrang inis ko sa kanila pero di ko maiparamdam.. sinundan ko ngayon si Manang, tinanung ko saan siya uuwi, Cabanatuan daw at hindi niya alam papano umuwi or san sasakay.. i asked if she has enough money para makauwi.. pinakita niya ung binigay.. jusko pang student/senior di nga abot -____- tas siempre iba pa ung pantric o jeep pagdating nun. isshh. Hindi ko na tinanong bakit siya nasa Tarlac o anung business niya doon. basta sabi ko iuuwi ko na siya sa Cabanatuan. I can give her money for transpo pero ung kunsensya ko na papano kung lokohin na naman siya, di naman pulubi ung tao para itrato ng ganun (kahit naman pulubi di dapat tinatrato na parang walang lugar sa mundo), so instead, i went to Cabanatuan with her (without her knowing), sabi ko sasamahan ko lang siya hanggang umalis ung bus, nung paalis na, pumwesto ako sa likod at ibilin ko na sa kundoktor si Manang. pagdating sa Terminal, bumaba na lahat, nilapitan ko siya ulit nagulat siya andun ako (iba ung tuwa sa mukha niya from there daw alam na niya paano umuwi), sinamahn ko na siya magabang ng tric, tas binayaran ko na din ung tric niya.. sasamahan ko pa sana pauwi eh kayalang last trip na ng pa-Tarlac nun.

Lesson : according to God's commandment, we should love our neighbors as we love ourselves.. There's nothing wrong with helping others in need. Hindi man siya humingi ng tulong sakin pero alam ko sa sarili ko na kelangan niya. i was reminded of the verse..

Proverbs 19:17 ...Whoever is generous to the poor lends to the Lord, and he will repay him for his deed... sabi nga ni Lord "You shall open wide your hand to your brother, to the needy and to the poor, in your land." we are all brothers & sisters in the eyes of God, wag natin i-lable ung estado ng buhay ng tao lalo na sa pagtulong. We do not need known organizations or clubs para maipaabot ung tulong natin at hindi natin kelangan ipakita sa lahat kung anong ginagawa natin.Dapat isinasapuso natin ung mga ginagawa natin..

On my way to church for Sunday Worship, a female hobo attacked me in front of Yellow Cab Recto corner Nicanor Reyes (near FEU) with a long dagger on hand. She ran after me with that long dagger and she was trying to get my small bag. i bumped into a guard stand while i was protecting my bag na siyang kadahilanan ng aking mga sugat sa tuhod at siko. The people who saw the incident told me "muntik ka ng masaksak", pinansangga ko kasi ung backpack ko tsaka ung small bag ko. Nobody helped me at first, i think they were all afraid as well of that baliw. Nung nadapa na ko saka lang lumapit ung 3 guard sa near establishments, ung dalawang guard hinabol ung baliw, while the other was was kind enough to give me water, tissue and soap to clean my bruises. Thank God nothing was taken from me.

Lord thank You for this life. Despite today's incident i still felt your protection by those people who helped me. You kept me alive for the 3rd time. I pray that you take away this pain and heal my bruises Father God. Thank you also for the Ushers and all my churchmates at Victory Ubelt for assisting me & prayed for me. You are Great!

WHY?

a poem i made n the 16th of August year 2006.

Why are they like that?
its like they've flown away in a single snap.
is it only me?
or there's really no more we?

why am i so sad?
the fact that i already had,
friends that are always there
and i hope that they'll always bare.

i give my best to all my friends,
including enemies, cheaters, and even cleptohands.
what will i do to make them see,
that i'm with them wherever they be.

even though only one or two are close to me,
All of us are close based on what i see.
I know they wont leave me alone in the air
because friends shout treat each other fair.

Chatting about boys would make you roar,
obsession for men would even make you a whore.
we are girls so that's okay to do.
but leaving your friends 'cause of them wouldnt make you true.

A ball is a circle, no beginning, no end.
it keeps us together like our circle of friends.
but the treasure inside for you to see,
is the treasure of friendship you've granted to me.

YOU DONT ALWAYS GET WHAT YOU WANT

"Sometimes, it's okay to walk away, to let go of the person who broke your heart, and to get a new start."
--what if you started it? what if you're the one who broke his heart? and after sometime you realize that you cant live without that person so you try to mend the bond torn by pride..

life is sometimes unfair. some people ask for second chances and are given the opportunity ; most people dont give when YOU'RE the one asking. #medyounfair 

@MgaKasabihan - "Hindi pwedeng ikaw nalang yung lumalaban para sa inyo."
-- its worth a try.. but i guess love isn't really enough for him.. love is a two-way-give-and-take relationship.. but in my case, it aint. :/

Gwiyomi Song

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OsDbzoDEAw0&feature=youtu.be

nirequest lang ito talaga ni Pete Estabillo at Norbert Paganpan.

i dont even know the lyrics of the song :)

 the "Kiyomi (귀요미) Song (송)" or "Gwiyomi Song" is by Hari (하리)and the player part (I guess) was made popular by BToB's Illhoon who performed his own short rendition on Weekly Idol, ever since it's been very popular among korean idols for aegyo skits and such... In English, the term 'kiyomi' translate roughly to "cutie" or "cute person" (since it's more of a colloquial term), so it's been coined "cutie player" in English =
