Hi guyz! Sorry for being away for quite a while. Had to do some stuff and got no time to update my blog.
So uhmmm, a little update about me (continue reading if you want to know)...
+ I already graduated last March 20! weeeee....
+ and currently adjusting with my new life as a professional (char!)
+ I'm currently working in Cebu. That means I'm far away from home. (*sobs*) I've been undergoing training for over four months already and still currently under the process. woah! By September, I'd be able to know if I'm qualified enough for regularization.
+ I'm a changed person. Well, not totally. But I can feel it. I've changed a lot for the better, I guess. I'm more independent and keen in budgeting my "sweldo" (salary in English).
+ I'm missing my family so much but I try to be strong enough for them.
+ I'm missing Davao. Both cities are of course different from each other. Well, Cebu is nice and is really more advanced than Davao but still, I prefer my hometown.
So, there. That's what happened to me, guyz for the past four months.
Godbless everyone! Keep on smiling...:D

weeee...I'm back!
Yeah, after 48 years, I'm back to blogging.
Well, a quick update...
...We passed our thesis defense. Yey! So happy! Now, we're totally sure we can graduate on time! Woohoo! We just have to hard bind our thesis documents. Weeee...
...We are now preparing for the PhilNits Exam this Sunday. Hope we could all pass!
...I'm finishing my 60 hours of duty at school during SEM BREAK. It's supposed to be a break, right? Oh, well! I wasn't able to do my service during school days because of thesis, thesis, and thesis. So, I have to spend my break finishing it. I'll just bear with it. What's important we already finished our thesis. Yehey!
...We're working on our Logic project during SEM BREAK again. Hahaay! Long story.
You see I still don't have the luxury of time to blog. So sad! huhuhu. BUT, I'll do my best to update it from time to time. Weeeee. Glad to be back! =) God bless every1!

"I can feel the pressure right now.."
Just like what Janina San Miguel had said in Bb. Pilipinas 2008 to explain what she felt that night, I also use that popular statement to explain what I feel regarding our thesis. huhu. We only got two weeks to go before the final judgment. I'm just so anxious about it that's why I decided to blurt out what I feel in my blog. I want to let go of the tension and worry. I want to get rid of the possibility of not passing and not being able to graduate because of it. waaaaa.. I guess I and my groupmates had not yet gotten half way of our thesis. And it really scares the hell out of me. huhu.
Despite the critical situation we are in, I'm still hopeful that we'll be able to make it. I believe in my groupmates and our teamwork. Janx and Nicoy had always been very optimistic and hard-working since I teamed up with them in S.A.D. And I should believe in myself. Lately, I'm starting to lose my confidence. I should really prevent it from slipping away out of my system if I want to survive, aight? Yes, definitely! We can do this! We should do this! May God guide us. May He enlighten me, Janx, and Nicoy.
Guys, wish us luck...
Okay back to work..Ciao!

I'm a year older!!!! (08.05.08)
I just turned 19 today. weeeee...I'm not getting any younger though I literally look the opposite. nyahaha..Don't get me wrong. I'm not bragging. I'm just saying that I still don't dress up like other teens my age should or I still don't dress and act like a real woman. I still love wearing chucks (stilettos are killing my feet, I must admit). Now that I'm 19, I think I should think about changing my fashion style, to be more girly. hmmm...I guess for now, I'm settling with what makes me feel comfortable, simply the real me. Damn with what other people say! Aight?
Anyway, my birthday has been a great blast. Even if my parents didn't give me a big celebration or my friends didn't give me gifts, it is still special. Their greetings for me and the smile on their faces are more than enough to tell me how blessed I am to have them in my life. I'm also overwhelmed with my distant friends who remembered my birthday. It's really so sweet of them. Weeee..They really get me laughing all day. Am I getting mushy here? Kinda. But I'm not deceiving anyone. I'm sincere.
There's ten minutes left before my birthday expires. Hehe. So, I'd like to thank my family who's loving me each and every day of my existence in this world. I thank my aunts (Auntie Jeje and Auntie Jovy) for always being my bestfriends. I thank my friends for making me feel treasured and special. I thank God for them, for all the innumerable blessings he'd given me, for the gift of life, for everything.
My wish? Secret! Can somebody stop me? I'm getting cornier around here. haha. I'm just out of my mind today. Just felt like being silly...talking to myself...in my blog..hehehehe..
Enough okay. hehe. To all the people who greeted me, thanks a bunch! I'M SO SO SO HAPPY! I love you, guyz! God bless everyone... =)

Waiting for God's best...
Last Friday night, I and Tetle attended R.O.C.K (Reaching Others for Christ's Kingdom) night. Actually, it was our second time since last month when Janx invited us to come. ROCK Night is held every first Friday of the month.
It's good to be back! Really! People were so nice and friendly just like before. Some of them remembered our faces and names. Really flattering. We also got to meet our newfound friends again. lingaw masyado. The thing I really missed and anticipated for is the music jamming. Not only because it is led by Janx, our good friend, but also because we can relate to the songs. I'm a fan of Hillsong to be exact. Well, I love listening to contemporary Christian music. =) And Janx's way of singing is so sincere (though at first, I didn't expect him to sing that well; it's just too surprising for me to hear his voice having the initial impression of him being different than he really is) and his bandmates play like Hillsong does that you can't help singing along and feeling you're indeed personally singing to God. I like praising Him that way, you know, musically.
Another thing we're looking forward to is the topic to be discussed which was all about "Waiting for God's best". The moment I heard of it, I had a feeling that it has something to do with finding your partner in life. Hmmm.. And my thoughts really coincide with the discussion.
The guest speakers that evening were Pastor Bob and his wife. Her wife spoke first. She narrated her past experience with Pastor Bob when she was still his girlfriend and when they were already married. When she was still his girlfriend, she waited patiently for Pastor Bob to arrive in their meeting place though it may took her hours to wait. But when she was now his wife, she admitted her patience to wait really deteriorated. What's the difference? If you are still his girlfriend, then you cannot afford to rebuke him too much because if you complain much, then he might get irritated and annoyed, pushing him to leave you. But when you are already tied to him in marriage, you just didn't want your husband to let you wait for hours.
She then said that it's not our partners in life we are waiting for. You know who? It's God we wait for because He already has a plan for us even before we are born. We should not overtook God's plans for us because if we do, things might get out of hand and out of control that it may tend to hurt and pain us too much making our life miserable. Say for example, I still don't have a boyfriend until now. My friends already have their boyfriends and I'm the only one left in our barkada who doesn't have one so they keep on pressuring me to just accept one among the boys courting me. I am so NBSB (no boyfriend since birth)!! I'm already graduating and I had no experience at all. What a pity! If I give in to their advice to accept anyone just to have experience, then I am not doing the right thing. Most probably, I may end up getting dumped or hurt by that random guy I have picked, unable to move on with my life. But if I wait, no matter if it takes how many years, then surely, I'll be happy because the one I've chosen to love is the one I've waited God to give me. Thus, the best one.
After his wife, Pastor Bob discussed the meaning of the acronym W.A.I.T. Here it is.
W - Know God's will for you. (That will is always for your best.)
A - Anticipate for God's will. (Hope for that will to happen.)
I - Intercede. (Unceasingly pray for it.)
T - Trust in Him completely. (Just believe in His promises.)
Other side dishes included in his talk are the two kinds of death people experience when they turn toward sin: physical death and spiritual death (means your soul will be burned in hell). With it comes admitting you are a sinner, remembering always that Jesus died for your sins, and believing in His promise that when you follow Him and see Him as the way, the truth, and the life, He will give you eternal life.
It was already quarter to 10 when he finished his discussion. We even didn't notice how fast time flew. It's just that we are so into listening to their enlightening and inspiring message. The night ended with another Christian music sessions led by Janx.
A Reflection
How sure I am that God will give me the best? Hundred and one percent sure! God is all-knowing, all-loving, all-kind, and all-powerful. He knows what's best for us like our mom but more "best" than she does. He loves us too much that He even gave His son, Jesus, to be crucified on the cross to save us from sins. Thus, He will never give us someone we don't deserve, someone who will bring us pain and make us suffer. He is so kind that He really makes a way for us to meet the best person in due time. He has the power to do everything that'll be best for all of us.
I just realized that maybe God still hasn't given me "my best man" yet because He knows I'm still not ready. I still have to prepare myself emotionally and spiritually before I'll finally meet Him. And when we are both prepared, God will make a way to make our lives cross and we'll find each other. Isn't it perfect? hehe..really looking forward to it.
All you out there who still don't have a boyfriend/girlfriend, don't be sad. The person you are waiting for God to give you will surely come. All it takes is patience and faith. Let us learn to W.A.I.T in God's grace and everything will turn out just fine.
Good night, amigos and amigas! God bless you all...

I'm addicted to Boyce Avenue!
I found this group of musical geniuses in youtube. They are really good. I love their acoustic renditions of Leona Lewis' Bleeding Love, Jordin Sparks' No Air and Tattoo, Linkin Park's Shadow of the Day, Natasha Beddingfield's Pocketful of Sunshine, Neyo's Take You There and many others. The group is composed of three brothers - Daniel, Alejandro, and Fabian; and their friend, Stephen Hatker. Watch the video to see for yourself.

mere infatuation or love?
when you keep thinking of that person..when you're totally in awe with his skills..when you always want to be beside him..when you smile unconsciously while thinking of him..when you're always longing to see him..when your breath is taken away by his smile..when you can't help staring at him..when you're always waiting for him..when you always want to help him with this and that.. when you can't help laughing at his jokes though some are corny..when you always talk about him when you're with others..when you can't eat and can't sleep..when you worry if he didn't go to class..when you wish that he will notice you..when you always want to amaze him..when you hear a particular music, you think of him..when you remember him in every thing you encounter..when you feel like floating on cloud nine whenever he's around..when you can't help blushing when he praises you..
are these symptoms of infatuation or love? just confused. hehe. BTW, i'm doing this for my friend who's asking me about these things and I can't answer 'coz I haven't been in love myself..hehe..kindly enlighten me, guyz! drop some comments. they will be highly appreciated. thanks! =)
cute BIG talents brought an amazing performance at Star King..
Here is a video clip of Ye Eun, a 6-year old blind genius pianist and Connie Talbot, the cute singer contestant from Britain's Got Talent. Be amazed by their God-given talents. Be touched by angels. Have a box of tissue beside you. Enjoy!
On Steve Jobs' Commencement Speech
This short clip was shown to us by our teacher in Technopreneurship. Really great speech...Enjoy!
Steve Jobs is really amazing! He's very smart! How I wish he can be our guest speaker in our graduation day. That will be truly great. But of course, impossible. I guess I’ll just have to settle with listening to him on youtube and imagining he is our great speaker on that day.
His speech was all about his life and the lessons and realizations he gained along the way. He talked about (1) connecting the dots; (2) love and loss; and (3) death. Connecting the dots tells the graduates and us that we have to believe in whatever we are doing or will be doing because someday, we will find out ourselves that our past has something to do with our future. Love and loss teach us to cope with downfalls and failures; that we should take them in a positive way. Failures should never be treated as an enemy. When we read between the lines, failures are even one of our truest friends because it is not afraid to confront us with what is wrong with us or where we did wrong though telling it can really hurt. As the saying goes, "you lose some, you win some", we should always bear in mind that with every failure comes something good that might be even better than the thing you desired of. Death conveys taking all opportunities coming your way because life is unpredictable. We’ll never know when we’ll die. For us not to regret, we should do what we want to do or what we should do. No fears as long as we know we're on the right track. Life should be lived the way we wanted to live it and not by the way others wanted us to live it. Our life is ours. We are the ones who have control over it and not other people.
It relates to my life and everybody else’s life by the simple fact that we all have dreams, we sometimes fail and that we are entitled to die someday. Basically, all he has experienced are also the same with us though fashioned in a different way. That’s why we feel what he also feels but we just have different various ways of handling tensions, grasping chancs, and living life. He is now one of my inspirations. Human as he is, he has flaws but he learned from them.
He views life as limited because we all have to die at the same time endless because it offers us unending opportunities and chances and it’s all upon us to grab them or not. Life, for him, has both ups and downs and with each level, a lesson is learned. And I definitely agree with him. Right now, in college, I am trying to find out what he said about courageously taking risks in search of the love of your life. From now on, I’ll try not to regret every decision I’ll be making. And someday, I’ll reach my dreams. That’s for sure!
