Bakit pa nagawa ang masasayang kaganapan sa buhay kung sa huli, mami-miss mo lang ng sobra yung mga pangyayaring alam mong di mo na maibabalik?

Ang sarap balikan ng mga panahon na magkakasama kayo ng mga kaibigan mo. Pero para san pa ang mga camera, mga sulat, at kung ano ano pang mga bagay na magpapaalala sayo ng mga nangyari noon kung pagkatapos mong basahin at pagtawanan ang pictures na naipon mo, malulungkot ka lang at hahanap-hanapin mo ulit yung mga taong nakasama mo?

Ewan ko, pero naiinis ako na hanggang sa mga salitang ‘miss na kita’ na lang naiaabot yung gusto mong sabihin. At pagkatapos? I miss you too lang ang sagot sayo. Wala ka naman talagang magagawa kasi magkaka-layo na kayo sa isa’t isa.

Bakit kasi hiwa-hiwalay na tayo. Hindi naman sa hindi ako masaya sa mga kasama ko ngayon, pero iba pa rin talaga ang samahan natin noon.

Nakaka-miss pa rin talaga ang high school life.

Isn’t it amazing how God speaks to you by letting you have the time to reflect and ponder about yourself on how you are doing lately? As you recognize the things you’ve done, you subconsciously come to a point wherein you would ask yourself, “Hold on. Am I still on the right track?” then you’d realize, “Right. Maybe I’ve been doing it the wrong way, that’s why I’m having a hard time in keeping up with it. I must fix this and do it the right way.”

You cannot do it if it’s based on your own way. You cannot survive if you ever let go and do it alone. God hasn’t left. We already have His favor.

How amazing is He who has given us the wisdom to discern what is that good and pleasing to Him!

At the end of the day, it’s only Him whom we can rely on. <3

Why I Hate Religion, But Love Jesus || Spoken Word

Walk On The Water - Britt Nicole

You look around
It’s staring back at you
Another wave of doubt
Will it pull you under
You wonder

What if I’m overtaken
What if I never make it
What if no one’s there?
Will you hear my prayer?

When you take that first step
Into the unknown
You know that he won’t let you go

Chorus:

So what are you waiting for?
What do you have to lose?
Your insecurities try to alter you

You know you’re made for more
So don’t be afraid to move
Your faith is all
It takes and you can
Walk on the water too

So get out
And let
Your fear fall to the ground
No time to waste
Don’t wait
Don’t you turn around and miss out
Everything you were made for
I know you’re not sure
So you play it safe
Try to run away

If you take that first step
Into the unknown
He won’t let you go

(step out)
Even when its storming
(step out)
Even when you’re broken
(step out)
Even when your heart is telling you telling you to give up
(step out)
When your hope is stolen
(step out)
You can’t see where you’re going
You don’t have to be afraid

So what are you waiting,
What are you waiting for?

So what are you waiting for?
What do you have to lose?
Your insecurities try to alter you

You know you’re made for more
So don’t be afraid to move
Your faith is all
It takes and you can
Walk on the water…
Walk on the water too

The first time I saw the name DARIELLE CRUZIN written on the membership form of Lifebox last August 2011 after the Frosh Treat, I got really mindful about this person. I overwhelmingly insisted Ate Claire and Ate Ana that Elle was really familiar to me. I don’t know how, but I heard her name in my dream not long ago and I really thought that I’ve known her already. I kept on looking at her membership form just studying the personal information she provided in it except her schedule. So I didn’t know what her schedule was. HAHA! Well, we haven’t yet personally met that time. I just really felt that I’ve seen her before. Rawr.

Time passed by, then came December. Finally, we’ve met each other on our Christmas party. And it’s funny how she told me that she already knows me when in fact it was our first time to formally meet! And I thought,” Now something’s really going on!” I got surprised, of course.

One time, I randomly thought about browsing my profile pictures on Facebook. Then I startled when I saw Elle’s comment on one of my pictures on the date of May 22, 2011! To my surprise, I also found out that I as well made a reply to her! I had no idea how the whole thing were done, ‘cause we just became friends on Facebook last December! More hilariously, neither of us could remember it happened! HAHAHA! I find it cute, though. I rarely forget about these kinds of things. Oh well.

Too bad that’s the end of our story. JOKE! I just shared how we started in a real weird way. So there.

Whenever we’re together, we basically transform into bipolar friends. HAHA! You see, in a day we would fight and exchange harsh words all we want and then later on you’d see us having our heart-to-heart conversation. I’m sometimes slipshod and I don’t entirely feel conscious when I’m with this person. Ugh, I actually rarely feel otherwise with others but it’s just an unexplainably different story with her. HAHAHA! Being a sister to this person, it’s such an exciting experience to have someone to share my faith with and be natural in my own way.

Anyways, I don’t want to make this post serious and all. It’s just indescribable how God works in this friendship relationship. It’s a lot different one from anybody else, especially for all the sweetest words of love and the cat-and-mouse fight we make every moment together. It really is something that’s worth created. Thank You, Lord!

I love you, partner! Happy one year to us! God bless our friendship!

My friend probably doesn’t know what this means or what’s with this date, but it is actually our first friendship anniversary! <3

I remember the first time we had our conversation; she was the first one to talk to me on Facebook at around 10pm. It was a weird start for me because we talked about something that’s been bothering her. But at the same time, it warmed my heart that she already opened up to me to know what I think about the matter. That night she said something like, “Ayoko pa muna sabihin. Masyado pang maaga.” then I answered, “Ha? Gabi na kaya.” She laughed and said, “ HAHAHAHA! WAIT BENTA!” This was also the first time that I made her laugh. Haha! Though she hesitated at first, she still said what she needed to say. She also gave me her number because she had to log out on Facebook, so she decided to just continue our conversation via text. From that same day, I remember telling her that she’s not just my friend — she’s my sister. :”>

Thank you for that trust, Ye! >:D< It’s like a vine that bind us together which made us get this far. Now, look at what you’ve done! This is your entire fault I loved you more than every heart-felt love song in this planet! 

I MISS YOU!

*At Subic Duty Free*

Mama: Samahan mo ako dito. Gusto mo din ng chocolates?

Me: Dami mo pa nun ah.

Mama: Ehhhh. Gusto ko ng chocolates.

That’s my mom. She likes chocolates — loads of them! My dad would buy her chocolates at least twice every year (yes, since me and my siblings’ childhood days), especially when it’s my mom’s birthday. And every time my dad does, their refrigerator always has to be filled with chocolates. They have their own refrigerator in their bedroom, in which they amass bottles of wine and fruits. And yes, majority of what’s inside are chocolates. Some are even placed in a cabinet because they couldn’t fit in the fridge anymore.

You see, whenever mom gets them from dad or whoever, she’d only stock them in the fridge and leave them there. Even though she likes chocolates, she seldom eats them. So what happens is that me and my brother are the ones who get to eat the chocolates. She even permits us to get what we want and bring it with us, since I am in Manila and my brother is in Bulacan for college. But my brother is currently with them ‘cause it’s summer, while I’m still here in Manila ‘cause I’ve got class. So yeah. He has the advantage over the chocolates. Unfair! >:P

Well, actually what I know is that my mom only keeps them ‘cause it’s simply a delight in her part to see the pile of chocolates that are stored in the fridge. It’s as if seeing a lot of chocolates takes away the stress she had every day after work. And chocolates somewhat make her feel relaxed. It attracts her so much she couldn’t help but buy them whenever she sees chocolates in the store.  (As you can observe on the convo I shared above)

I have plenty of chocolates with me but I had to give some away because I can’t eat them all up on my own. And now I am left with a box of Toblerone and a bar of Cadbury with nuts and raisins (Raisins! Oh gosh, this one’s got to be my favorite!). Haha! But I probably would give them, too ‘cause I’ve eaten enough already. I just have to think twice about giving that Cadbury. JK! :)) Anyways, this blog is about my mom, not me so guess I should stop. Haha!

Oh well, I just really wanna share that about my mom. It’s a special month for her and for every mom out there and so, for the record, I am making this blog for her. I don’t actually wanna say much about what I want to tell her because I’m not very good at it and I would suck. Seriously, I would. I really wish I had the most perfect and beautiful words in the world to say to her because if I did, I’d say them. I would just probably use the ‘L’ word ‘cause I think that will work and that’s the best sentence I could put forward so far. Hence, I hope it’s still effective, even if it’s hackneyed. Somehow I know it would warm her heart because every woman, I must say, likes hearing that dulcet sentence just like me. But then, I don’t deserve hearing it right now ‘cause it’s time I’m the one to say them to her. Happy mother’s day to my mom!

I LOVE YOU, MAMA! I love you more than the sugar content of every chocolate you store in your fridge! :*

I lost my high school batch mate’s gift. :( He gave me that keychain when we were in our senior year and I had it placed on my itouch bag since then. That little thing is very much special to me. Not just because the one who gave it is my friend, but because it is a gift. A gift from a friend. Summer of 2010 was the last time we saw each other, and I don’t have any connection with him anymore. So I really feel bad about losing that keychain. :/

I don’t know how it got lost. The last time I saw it was when me and my friends had lunch at the student lounge and I used my itouch. When we went upstairs for our class, I noticed that it’s missing as I put my itouch back in the bag. I have no idea how it fell or where it went. It’s gone! I went back to the lounge to see if it’s there, but I couldn’t find it.

Ugh. Ansakit lang. </3 Kainis. :|
