Today's Bullet

• Made nachos with my sisters and pamangkins for lunch. We had salsa and white cheese dip! We had several bags of chips so it was like an unlimited nachos feast in the house! Plus, my younger sister made fresh lemonade! :3 foodgasm overload.

• After lunch, I had a fun talk with my older sister and momma! It was fun since the perky side of my mom came out (she was impersonating her friends! Lol). I enjoyed exchanging ideas and laughter with them. When I let her see my grades she said, “Nahiya naman ang Advertising grade mo!” lol

• Watched a Crazy Little Thing Called Love for the fifth time today. I still feel kilig every time Shone and Nam would have their moment :3 I will forever be Mario Maurer fan!!! <3

I’m savoring the moment here in the house already. I’ll be back in Manila tomorrow! L

Junior Year! Part 4

Since last year I’ve been aiming to get scholarships, seminars, conferences or any other way on how I could go out of the country and experience other people’s culture. I really want to travel the world! I want to explore its madness and I’m aiming to start as early as now in discovering various places.

I wanted to try the AIESEC GCDP program but then my parents won’t allow because first, I have internship this summer and second, the country that I want is not safe even if I know my fellow AIESECers would take care of me.

Lucky me, the Office of Student Affairs (OSA) recommended the International Students’ Week in Ilmenau, Germany! In order to be part of it, we needed to write 3 essays regarding why we want to join ISWI 2013, why did we choose the three topics we chose (I picked Communication, Education and Faith & Religion) and what is our interpretation for this year’s theme.

It was actually excruciating since we had to wait for 2 months before they disclosed who were chosen to attend the conference but… the long wait was worth it because I was selected to represent the Philippines and UST! Plus, the day when I saw the results, it was actually a tiring Wednesday and I was disappointed to someone really special to me. L So the ISWI result became a good diversion!

My official invitation letter! :>

Until now, I don’t know yet if I will push through in going since, my parents have this rule that there should be at least a few of us from UST who would attend. They don’t want me travel alone! Nonetheless, thank God UST is willing to help us and there would even be someone from UST who will accompany us. Though I have to admit I’ll be happier if they support us financially! Haha!

While typing this blog, I am still hopeful that this May I will see Germany with much bliss. x

Dear You...

Today's Bullet

So here’s a new entry title for my blog! Today's Bullet.. it would contain random things that happened to me within the day. I am serious when I told myself that I want to be active on blogging my bizarreness. Hee hee

• ·      I flooded our dining area! I tried to change the water bottle in the dispenser then oops the bottle slipped in my hands. HAHA! It was an instant intense cleaning time for us.
• ·      Our family ate a sumptuous lunch. We had really big shrimps plus gulay na kare kare for our main dishes! Plus we had three kinds of rice cakes, watermelons and noodles! :3 I swear, I can feel that my stomach wanted to burst!
• ·      I also added WATERMERLON to my favorite fruits list today! Mango (red and yellow), buko, strawberries, bananas… WATERMERLON! Yay!
• ·      After lunch, we listened the Seven Last Words on TV! We never go to the Church, we just stay at home and intently browse over the various channels televising it. Hee hee
• ·      Since it is Good Friday, we had the usual “Prusisyon,” too bad this year it rained. So we just followed the entire images while we are inside the car! HAHA that’s a first for our family but please don’t judge, my pamangkins were with us so we had no choice. Hee hee
• ·      Later we will go to the church for the “Pahalik” where we can touch the dead image of Christ.  Yes, too much family traditions but I love every single tradition that we celebrate! 

Junior Year! Part 3

Here’s part 3 of my junior year HL!

This year, I was once again offered to run for the Communication Arts’ Students Association (CASA) as an officer, particularly as Auditor. I don’t know but I actually said YES as soon as they offered it to me because basically this is the second time they offered me this kind of opportunity plus I think I won’t lose anything anyway rather I will gain a great experience out of it. So, NO additional questions instead I just told them that they should not get disappointed if I don’t win.

We prepared for one week for the 3-day campaign. Writing of the speeches were easy since we had our vision for the organization but it was hard to meet as one whole party to practice most especially that four out of five were in third year. We were all busy with theater, adquest and ITM for me. It was tough knowing that we only had the chance to be complete on the first day of the campaign. In addition, I have to admit that I did not give my whole attention to the campaign practices since my attention was divided and as I said to my friends, “I am more prepared to lose than to win!”

People who were listening to the way we deliver our speeches kept on telling us that we don’t have the energy. We need conviction in the words we utter and we need to smile from time to time and a lot more blahs and blahs! During the first day of the campaign period, we were all exhausted and hopeless already. One of my friends even said that if she would compare our party’s campaign to the other party, their campaign execution was better. We went home disappointed that night. I remember Patuy, our president sending us inspiring messages to uplift our spirit. The next day, we decided as a team to give our best for the next two days and come what may on the day of the proclamation. Nonetheless, I think we nailed the last two days of the campaign and we ended blissful and fulfilled!

Goofing around while waiting for professors to allow us to campaign to their classes. LOL

Last Day of Campaign! with our coaches (:P) Stephen, Jody and Kuya Mark

We did not actually think about the results anymore. Maybe because we were satisfied with our campaign for Day 2 and 3 and everyone was not expecting too much for it.

Declaration of winners came… I was surprised that I won! I did not expect that people would vote for me. Then it hit me! I’ll be an officer next AY and people are expecting so much for a better performing CASA! I am actually nervous about this one but I will try my best to be the best CASA AUDITOR for everyone. God knows that I did not expect this position but I think this is a big blessing from Him and I need to embrace it with much grace. 

Results from CASA COMELEC

Reminder for me!!!


I am exited but at the same time nervous but I know I can surely do well through everyone's help!  EVALS (that's the name of my project. LOL), KAYA NATIN YAN!

Once Your Heart Has Been Damaged

RP: One time is all it takes. Once you’ve been damaged, you don’t fully recover, so much as you teach yourself to cope. The wounds are there, the lessons are learned, the memories are engraved, and you’ve got to decide if you want to do it all over again – or if you’re even capable of that. A damaged heart is tentative and that’s got to be clear to anyone seeking to win you over. On your own time, as you’re ready, you’ll have to drop the crutches, dip your toes in to test the waters, and, when the time is right, love hard as you loved before. -C. Hudspeth

Once Your Heart Has Been Damaged

Thoughts for you

I’ve been thinking since this morning about the dream that I had last night. It feels weird that even in my dreams you totally feel awkward towards me. I don’t understand why you need to act that way. Srysly? Grow up man! I am serious when I told you that I admire you for your accomplishments! That’s supposed to be a compliment. So please stop acting like a shit, it doesn’t fit you. I miss the old you. You’ve changed so much and it totally spins my world but the more that you show bizarre signs, the more that I want to know you better (I’m a frustrated Psychologist, remember? )

So here goes the irony of my emotions… I remain hopeful and doubtful at the same time. 

Dear Self

Dear you...

To the guy that I like,

Maybe the problem is… I am waiting for you to answer my questions but still my mind straddles. I will forever be in the state of cognitive dissonance… but this is my fault. Don’t worry and stay happy as much as possible.
