let's get physical.

for my TO DO list for year 2010, i have included "to lose weight". it's actually in my list every year. ha! how pathetic can i get. still i'm not seriously into doing exercise. but this time, together with my friends, we enrolled in a various HIGH IMPACT EXERCISE. so we do belly dancing, hiphop, latin, aerobics, pilates and YOGA. yesterday was our first day to do yoga. and my first time to do it. i thought before it's a boring exercise. but it's not. enjoy pala - you get to stretch your arms, legs, strain, strain and no pain. i'm loving the sweat. and oh, i love my fabulous purple mat. yey.

i hope i'll sustain the drive to be fit and slim down. *fingers crossed*

journals of the past: graduation

i was browsing through my stack of old files in my room. there i got receipts, flyers and old papers way back in college. they are really garbage but i got this treasure. no, it's not something of material value. but my journal in college. it was actually a project in one of our subjects. sentimental and nostalgic mode.

March 20, 2002 - Notre Dame of Polomolok was filled decorations. Decorations were wonderful and colorful which rightly matched the emotions of the people present especially to the graduates and the parents. This was the Graduation 2002. Whew. I can still remember this momentous event of my life.

just few years ago, GRADUATION is yet beyond my reach. but i was able to ponder that you can't achieve it unless you exert an effort and grasp the opportunities that come on your way. indeed, finding your way towards your goal is not that easy. As Einstein says, "invention is 99% perspiration and 1% inspiration." compared to our own daily lives, success is unattainable without hardwork and perseverance.

graduation indicates victory, a significant achievement in our academic life. indeed, it's a time to thank God who makes things possible for me. it signifies the faith i have in God. it's a time where sharing of the blessing He has bestowed upon me - wisdom. fortitude and understanding. these are the things that helped me gain this glorious moment. a moment i wore toga and cap, marched down the aisle and received my diploma.

graduation marked the apex of my High School life. the sweats i poured down upon the nooks of the classroom had finally borne fruits. all the joys, sorrows and shortcomings. moreover, this served as one of my goals. i am ready to move, to step forward, to push, to reach, to take, to spread, to lift, to learn, to submit, to sacrifice, to offer, to share, to serve and to love.

with my success, i won't forget the people behind it. my parents, teachers, administrators, advisers, friends. without their love, i am nothing. moreover, a heart-breaking sojourn has been on my way and learned to stand firmly as what they have taught and marked us as Gospel-centered and service-oriented individuals. they molded me in so many faces of courage, hope and love.

while graduation signifies an end, it also unfolds a new beginning. years of painstaking labors in pursuit of High School diploma was over. But for me, it serves a s a preparation to face a more demanding world of tremendous challenges - College education.

what a sight to behold

may 16, 2010 , 7:07 pm - irving called me telling me to see the moon. it's kakaiba daw where a star is just above it. i rushed outside excited to see the sight. but i was disappointed not seeing the moon. it's not visible here. my disappointment came to a rise when he continued boasting about it. so i asked him to take a photo of it but said he can't (technology there is not available, hehe). good thing i browsed my twitter and tweeps share some photos on this lovely sight.

"Venus usually symbolizes love and an alignment with the moon usually means, long awaited contentment :) ♥ "

thank you dear for sharing this with me.

britney: i know how to play poker.

irving has influenced me and my family to play poker. i have been hearing about poker, my friends got so addicted to it but it didn't interest me at all. Not until he actually brought a poker set one time he came to our house. then all of a sudden everyone seemed got too engrossed to the addicting game. even my little cousin, Britney, who was having her vacation at our house. it was fun. it was her who is always makulit during poker sessions.

now i want to share the different faces my cousin shows during poker sessions:

1.) nagpapacute: ibig sabihin, manghihingi ng chips kasi ubos na ang sa kanya. haha dude, you can't resist her especially when she's flaunting her dimples.

2.) life and death situation: kapag talo na at hindi na umu-obra charms niya. mag-ingat kasi nangangagat. parang lagare pa naman ang ngipin nito. joke. uhm, nagwawala lang pala.

3.) i-am-in-control mode: ayan, may pangiti-ngiti pa. hwag kalilimutan ang ultimate weapon sa poker, ang shades! haha pokerface kuno.

Bluff na! Laro tayo ulit Brit.

PS: Britney has gone home to Kidapawan. Her mom is coming from Taiwan. I just miss her so madly and i guess writing blog would "minimize" the homesickness feeling. aaaw.

my silver bash

April 28, 2010 - I say it is the most memorable birthday of my life. For the plain reason that I have SOMEONE to share it with. Yikes, cheesy. I thank the Lord for blessing me him and the relationship (awwww!). Plus my awesome friends way back in college, office and community. I feel so loved and blessed

My friends from the ALNP community really surprised me big time with these flowers. For all I knew, the meet-up for that day was for our sister Jeanne who is leaving Dole. I never knew. I was actually the one who bought the flowers for her. I never really expected that they will have a late birthday bash for me. I was so caught unprepared and all I could muster was "Thank you guys!". Very intelligent speech right?! ha ha

Pacman-cake. Our chekahan and kumustahan was fueled by this uber delicious cake. Sheng and Tayong dominated the "session" since they are more makulit than me and Irving.

Irving got me this cake. Yey. Thank you so much. Chocolate mousse I love! The cake ice cream from Goldilocks. It was even made more yummy because it's shared with truly wonderful people.

Attending the simple dinner at our house were Sheng, Tayong and Irving dear. We shared on the barbeque, grilled bangus, buko salad ans spaghetti. They are my happy pills both in office and my personal life. I love you all to bits!

"God, today, I thank everyone who has played any role in helping me in my life till today."
