My birthday celebration! The original plan was GIRL's NIGHTOUT! Plans do change. This was one of the unexpected ones. I can't imagine that I can party with both of my high school and college friends at the same night. This was really one of the rare occasions. Who would thought? All of us had a blast on that night. Booze, dance floor and friends are the perfect ingredients of a FUN-BIRTHDAY-CELEBRATION! yeahhh!

I reserved the couch of the night. Informed them. Reminded them to bring IDs. I realized that planning an event was very exhausting but it was a success. Arrived @encore around 10pm, waited for some of my friends until we were complete. We ordered two or three Bacardi apple and 1 liter of Jose Cuervo for the whole night. It helped us to dance all night and party like a rockstar. Seeing my friends having fun is really big deal for me. At the same time, I am happy too. Those people who I imagine they won't have fun or enjoy partying at the club, were the ones I saw really having a good time. I'm surprised. It means I can invite them again to party with us! Cool right? I have now an official party friends. It will be easy to invite them.

I'm thankful for those who help me made this happen. Thank you! To my friends and love ones, I love you big time. SUPER ENJOY! Let's plan for the next party scene! woooo! I love you all.

Happy Birthday to me! I have been living on this world for twenty-one years now. It seems to be easy, fun and enchanting but every life has its own problems, difficulties and struggles. I am thankful I survived. Now, I am a year older and wiser. I learned a lot from the experiences I have encountered thru out the years. I am still young; I still do need to improve on myself and on my outlook in life. I will never stop thanking God for such a wonderful life. He made me to be a stronger and independent person. He let me realize how magnificent to live with His grace and glory. Without Him I am nothing. He is a true provider. I am blessed.

My mom bought a birthday cake for me. The next day will be my day! CELEBRATION! Stay tuned on my next entry.... TO BE CONTINUED...

Mother's Day is a special day for all the mom, mama, mommy, moma, inay, nanay, momsy or whatever you call your mother, it is her day. This is a day to celebrate and acknowledge the presence of all mothers in the world. To thank them for carrying us for 9 months in their wombs, for all the sacrifices, for supporting us in our daily needs and just for making us a live here on earth is worth thanking for.  

This day, me and my mom went to Cavite to celebrate it with our family. My auntie slash godmother cooked some traditional Arabic and Filipino dishes. Yummm.. We ate, talked and played with my cousins or whatever we want we did. Mainly, we ate food almost every other hour. TAKAW mode. Sorry Guys. :))

Another catch in my entry, we were stranded for almost 2 to 3 hours in SM sucat because of the heavy rain and flood. GEZ! Hassle. Instead of going home and resting, we were bored and scared the same time. My mom used all the possible way to avoid the flood. She succeed while a fell asleep all the adventure she had. We don't want to happen this any more! BOO rain! BOO you! :|

Good Friday is the day when Jesus was crucified. For the commemoration of His death, Roman Catholics always have what you called "Prusisyon". It is when people mourn for his death, people walk as a sacrifice with the saints. 

Usually during prusisyon, I am with my grandmother but since last year she can't walk far enough because of her aching back or hips. *signs of old age* hehehe This year, I decided to contact my friends (since grade school) to join me. I texted them, some of them replied, I am thankful they're willing to accompany me thru out the night. Yey! one of the saint was owned by the family of my friend.

Every Holy Thursday, our family have started a tradition to go to different churches to pray the station of the cross until we complete it. It is usually called Visita Iglesia. This time we went far from our usual route. We headed to Tagaytay to Silang to Dasmarinas and to Gen. Trias, Cavite.

Visita Iglesia with my family was really an enjoyable activity. I am always looking forward for this every year. Not only a bonding moment with my family but also time to heal and rejuvenate our relationship with God our Almighty Father. It is a time to repent and be sorry for our sins. 

Our other Visita Iglesia:

• Our Lady Monte Maria, Tagaytay
• Churches in Cavite
• Kamay ni Hesus and Other Churches in Quezon
• Churches in Laguna

For the last couple of months I have been eying for the opening of Forever 21 in SM Makati. Finally, it's here! No need to go to SM Megamall, I live in the down south so it much convenient for me and to the others people who lives near Makati area. The day of the opening was really "PANIC BUYING MOMENT", people were all over the place. I want to buy something but the line on the cashier was so long. My patience was not long for that day so I decided to go back next time.

When I went back, people were still on the process of panic buying. I also joined them and bought my new pair of sunglasses. Yes! a new one. I don't have enough time so I haven't bought any clothes. Till next time. :)

Love is a funny thing. You expect it to be easy. You expect it to be a world of roses and laughs and perfect moments that you find only in movies. You expect her to always say the right thing, and always know exactly how you feel, or exactly how to react to it. You expect her to calm you down when you’re yelling or to chase you when you run away. You expect so much that you feel entirely, and utterly defeated when something doesn’t exactly match up with all your plans. But that’s the thing. Love isn’t a plan. It doesn’t have a certain beginning and it certainly has no end or visible finish line to those deeply in it.

Love happens; it is so incredibly messy. People around you can’t comprehend why you do the things you do, or why you fight so hard for something that seems to cause you so much pain, because simply, they can’t see. They can’t see the invisible ring of insanity that surrounds you when you’re in love. It’s inconvenient and painful and devastating at times, but we can’t live without it. What you don’t learn is how hard love is. How much work it takes. How much of ourselves we have to put into it. How it isn’t worth it until we are complete and utter idiots about it.

Love isn’t her calming you down when you yell. It’s her yelling, just as loud, just as hard, right back at you, right in your face to wake you up and to keep you grounded. It isn’t her/him bringing you roses everyday or cute things that make your relationship appear more presentable.

It’s after a long fight, that drains the life and bones right out of you both, and yet her showing up at your door the next morning anyway. It’s not her saying all the right things or knowing exactly how to handle you. So no, it’s not her caressing your hair and telling you everything is going to be alright. It’s her standing there, admitting she’s just as scared as you are. You have to remember that with love, you’re not the only one involved. You’ve unknowingly put your life, your heart into the palms of another persons hands and said, here. Do what you will. Mash it into mince meat. Or forget I ever handed it to you. As long as you have it.

It makes us crazy. It makes reality invisible and it erases all the lines that we shouldn’t cross. Because love isn’t about fencing ourselves in; feeling safe, feeling sure about the future. It’s about scaring the shit out of every nerve in our body, but pushing forward anyway. Because all the fighting and all the tears and all the uncertainty is worth it. And it’s a hell of a lot better, than being 100% happy without someone to show us that there is a world of a difference between feeling ‘happy’ and feeling whole.

When I'm on my way to my office, I saw an advertisement along Edsa about this zebra print watches from Swatch. Love at first sight. I want! I will add this to my wish list for my birthday. So to anyone, friends, family, classmates, tumblrista or special love ones. Hi! I'll be ecstatic to received one for my birthday. It's either the blue or the pink one, alright? Clear? hihihihi. I'm in love with wild prints! Yes. I am. :)

My sister graduated grade school. She has an award, "BEST STAGE PERFORMER". She likes to join almost all the activities. Pabida! :)) Then, she also sang The Climb with her classmate during the graduation ceremony. Guess what? I did not recognized that it was her so I did not took a video of it. Sorry, my bad! :c After the graduation, we ate at Pancake House. Actually our first plan was in Hap Chan but my mom passed by and did not recognized it, I am very hungry so the nearest resto I saw was Pancake house. Then, we saw an artista. I know his first name is Jake but we can't remember his last name. Damn! his HOT! :))

We celebrated her birthday a day earlier. It's Eat-All-You-Can day! Woooh. Another cheat day, because I'm on a diet. Seriously, I'm on a diet. Believe me or not, it's really me on a diet expect for that day.hehehe We ate at Yakimix in Hobbies of Asia (Macapacal). For almost an hour, we waited. Yes, we're the first on the waiting list that is why we stayed. Many Koreans, Chinese and Japanese were also dinning in that place. The opening hours for Yakimix is 11am-2pm then they resume at 6pm-11pm. My mom, sister and I were on time, 6 o'clock to be exact we arrived. On the other hand,we just can't believe how fast people came in, we ended up on a waiting list but it's really worth the wait.

I was so full I can't even explain the feeling. Gluttony day for us. Too much of Japanese and Korean food. I think I won't eat for few months especially in a Japanese Restaurant. Until now I can feel the feeling of a bloated stomach, close to puking and hard to breathe. haha. TAKAW ko kasi. Well, no one can blame me. It's eat all you can resto so what should I do? Eat like a construction worker and taste all the cuisine. Yeah! the only way to enjoy food is to explore the goodness of taste that burst in our mouth. Happy Eating!

The first encounter with the new Starbucks logo. It's cool to see it. I did not recognized it until one of my friends told me. :)) I was busy that time listening and talking with them. Of course, I told myself, "I need to blog this!!!" *then took pictures of the new logo*

When we hang around SB we usually just chill then talk then talk then zip then talk. hahaha In short, catching up with the events happening in our lives. Cool. I love talking and learning from the experiences of other people they help us to be more cautious. It can also help us to have a better decision in life. Agree? That's why I enjoy long conversation with different people, with different culture and with different aspect in life. It can make us to be a well-rounded person and it can establish our communication skills. Coffee time. =)

I am not scared of changing my hairstyle. I have done short to long or wavy to straight hair but one major dilemma is, "What suits me the best?". For these pass few months I am coping the hairstyle of Saab Magalona. hahaha Yes, I am a fan of her hair. Messy but in a good way. On the other hand, I am not Saab, who can carry a messy hair with confidence. That's why I am giving Saab a two thumbs up! Rock on!

The calamities that happened to Japan was very devastating. I saw the tsunami hit Japan live via live stream on the internet. We were all busy working by that time, then suddenly one of my officemates saw the live stream and all of us were very shocked. It's like I am watching a movie, an end-of-the-world kind of movie. It's so surreal. 

Earthquake - 8.9 magnitude. It made the day a bit faster for some split seconds.

Tsunami - water ate the island of northeaster of Japan. Almost more that 10,000 were found dead, some are still missing. 

Fire -  burning buildings and industrial factories.

Radiation - from the nuclear power plant that is overheating.

Natural calamities lately were too much as we expect. It's all happening in a blink of an aye and everything is exaggerated. Is this the way for mother nature to take revenge? To let us pay for the damages that human being has done for her? We need to cooperate and unite to hear the cry of mother nature to us. We need to change our ways and live our lives. We will never know what will happen next.

The last day of February was spend with Therese (a friend from college and my forever seatmate), the night before we were at her sister's debut. I was included in the 18th treasures. I enjoyed the party. I'm like superwoman that night, living a double life because at the same time there was an event here and there. Gaad. I'm good. I juggled them like a boss. hahaha Tere decided to stay at our house for the night. We kept on talking and catching up with our lives. We ended up talking until 3 o'clock or 4 o'clock in the morning. Talkative? Yes, we are! Never ending stories. Our energy was low and we decided to sleep. Then, continued talking from the moment we woke up. Ate breakfast, watched "EASY A", ate lunch, watched funny videos from YouTube "Rich Kid" and took photos from my web cam. 

We lost internet connection for a long period of time. It's also getting late, she went home. It's been a while since I have a bonding time "one-on-one" with Therese! I miss you guurrl!  See yah around. =)

Jona and her high school friend went to the venue earlier that day. I just came two hours before the concert starts. Thanks to Jona! We have seats reservation for A-card holder. (Flash-redial-flash-redial until someone will answer --  number one secret of expects. hahaha) Guess what? the line was a disaster. The teenage fans were all cranky enough to push people just to be the first to enter the venue. Mayhemmmm strikes!

We met new concert buddies. They were only high school students. I felt a little ashamed and asked myself, "Am i too old for this??" haha I had fun! :) Lucky day for jona because  someone let us use one of his extra VIP ticket and I was the chosen one. Instead of me, I gave it to jona! I think she enjoyed and she deserved it because she is a number-one-fan-of-WE THE KINGS!!! Yeah. Rock on!
