I know. It's late. I was busy. Anyways, Last August 1, 2009, we loss our former President Cory Aquino because of cancer. A very sad moment for the Republic of the Philippines and especially for the Aquino Family. Condolence to them.

Watching the televise burial of Cory was very heart melting. People all over the Philippines were mourning. I was touch by the words that the people, who knew Cory personally. She was kind, helpful and generous person. I hope when I die people will say good things about me like Cory, people will share memories that will last in their hearts. I was inspired by her good works and good deeds. She was a prayerful and God-fearing person. I instantly admire her personality. I know it's too late but she will always be in our history. Our Mother of Democracy and the wife of former Sen. Ninoy Aquino will always be remembered.

August 5, 2009. When it's time to deliver the eulogy by Kris Aquino, I shed tears, I felt the loneliness inside of her. One of the best eulogies that I heard.

“I’m sorry mom, I lied to you. Nagsinungaling ako when I told you na we would be okay. I did this because we wanted you to be free from all your pain at para hindi ka na mag-alala tungkol sa amin. Pero, mom, it would take a lifetime for us to be okay because we will forever miss you,”
-Kris Aquino

Many people was affected, I can say. Then, they were off to Manila Memorial. We are near so me, my sister and my mom decided to come. We wanted to be part of the historical event. We waited for almost 7 hours. Just standing and eating. I saw a lot of people holding DSLR with huge lenses. Gez. I envy them for a while. I can't stop starring in their cameras. Someday I'll own one. That day, made me realized how I really like photography and how I badly want to have my very own DSLR. I also want to serve our nation. *wow* In my little way, I will. A day of excitement and inspiration. A day I won't forget. :)

3 Days of Training

3 Days of Training

May 25-27, 2009. The days and nights of FUN. I know. My life is full of fun. haha. It's the way I live it. It's just way I roll. I never thought I'll be having such happiness in those days. I thought I'll just listen to the voice of the speakers for a lot of hours. But I'm wrong! We ate ate and ate. Breakfast, snack, lunch, snack and dinner.yes! I felt like, palamunin bata. tapos mamaya bebenta ka na kasi mukha ka ng representable sa katabaan. hahaha

I met new friends. Yeah. I like meeting people but sometimes I don't have the guts to talk to random person. Those days are days that u don't have a choice but to talk to someone, to anyone or to everyone in your group. I'm usually a shy and quiet person for the first time you'll meet me. In the long run, I'm the person you'll never knew before. I can be a shit sometimes. No one is perfect. Right?

Back to the story....
We had a very interesting activities. Tiles activities and helium churva. I learned a lot from those games. I learned to be patient, to volunteer, to listen, to cooperate and to be more friendly. Hoorey for my YELLOW team! HEP-AAAHH! We're 2nd place, a very close fight. Also Hoorey for the BLACK team, for the helium game. Even though I got a little irritated to the person besides me. We also accomplished the task, even though we are not the first group to finish. 2nd again! :) It's fine with me. Yung iba nga wala nagawa. hahahaha galing! I'm proud with my groupmates. I hope in the school they still remember my face and will say hi to me.

Guess what? who would thought that I'll carry another girl in my back/shoulders for quite a long time, GEZ! the horror. Sabi ko na e, the following day my back is aching. Nabigla ang aking uber sexy body. nyhahaha. thrice ko sya ginawa for the group. yeah beybe. Kakaalalay din sa first activity, contribute in my aching lower back. Dats what I call getting OLD. I need flanax. :)) I bonded with my co-JPCS members. Super picture! One thing no one will miss. Capture the moments, share the memories. I love it. I am willing to change. I need to improve myself and start taking challege in a higher level. God will surely provide the energy, I will need. TY in advance!
