Jen’s B-day & Jazzy’s Despedida

 

 

 

 

One weekend…

Had a fun weekend at Jen’s place in Pandi, Bulacan. Place sounds familiar? Well, it’s very much in the news these days. Hehe.. Friday pa lang andun na ko and the rest of our friends followed Saturday afternoon. Then we went home Sunday.

I met Jen’s mom, dad and brother. They are all nice. Kinuwento nila lahat ng kaartehan ng anak nila. Although alam ko na lahat  yun. Hehe.

We helped Nanay cook Friday night and I even perfected the art of wrapping lumpiang shanghai. Tapos we went to the market early Saturday morning and there I saw this blue angel and I fell in love with it the first time I saw it. Nanay bought and gave it to me as a souvenir. I love it! I thought of naming it Jen but I realized di bagay ang name na Jen sa angel so I named it JP, after Jen’s brother.

Daming food. Videoke till morning. Got drunk. Fun! But the best thing was the midnight stroll riding JP’s Honda scooter and her cousin’s “tora-tora”. Nakakatuwa!

Babalik ako dun. Promise! Kahit malayo sya. Kahit liblib na lugar sya. At home ako dun. I feel I belong. Hehe…

Thanks to you Jen and to your family. And of course, how can I forget Lawrence…

Gov. V!

I had the opportunity to meet Governor Vilma Santos. We shook hands! And I was so starstruck. hehe..

Great day. So that’s what public service is all about. Fun!

Our Lady of Fatima

And  She surely did.

Past time…

Result…

If only time could move a little bit slower…

Much as I try not to think of it, only that consumes my thought. In my dreams and in my waking moments.

To divert my thoughts, I try to think of happy moments and even the saddest. But that same thought just keeps on creeping back.

I am scared. Really.

I hope.

I pray.

Hopeful…

This early, some are already asking for the result. And this makes me more stressed and nervous.

Malapit na.

Others are complaining why I received more expensive gifts. Why? Because I am good. Hehehe… Not really. Nagtitipid lang mga yun. They combined the graduation gift and the Christmas gift. Daya!

Salamat! Others to follow. (big smile)

Three dots…

Missing someone is one of the worst feelings in the world.

I’m missing someone lately…

If only life were fair and easy…

Next Year…

2009 looks promising.

I am excited about a job offer that hopefully will materialize come January. On the other hand, there is something that makes me scared and uneasy about 2009… the Bar exam results. I’ve prepared for it, done my best, and still praying for it. I am hopeful.

Much as I beg and pray, 2009 will soon be here. Inevitable.

Anyway, it’s doc’s birthday today. Happy birthday!

11 Minutes…

Love is not to be found in someone else, but in ourselves; we simply awaken it.  But in order to do that, we need the other person.  The universe only makes sense when we have someone to share our feelings with. I’ve learned that waiting is the most difficult bit, and I want to get used to the feeling, knowing that you’re with me, even when you’re not by my side. -Paulo Coelho

Early…

Christmas started early this year. I received gifts already.

New slippers from my ate.

 ***** 

New phone from dad along with the free monthly bill.

More to come.

I’ve been a good girl this year. I think.

Thank you.

Yawn…

I am still awake.

I know that it’s a thing of the past.

And there it will remain.

Batasan Hills…

I have been to the far away land called Batasan Hills. It’s not my first time, but the last time I was there was… hmmmm… eight years ago? I think.

I am unfamilar with the place but it is impossible to get lost here in Manila. All you need to have is a pocketful of money and a little bit of charm. Heheh…

Quezon City is a nice place, I must say. Nice place. Nice people.

Several are complaining how slow the processing in government offices. But I experienced otherwise. I was able to secure a copy of the certificate of my civil service eligibility in 15 minutes. Fast no… Thanks Manong. I was expecting that he will tell me to wait for three weeks, as my Tita guessed. But… 15 minutes! Thank you! Charm lang talaga. Hehe…

And the transcript… my classmate told me that I would wait at least a week to have a copy. I applied yesterday around 3 pm and guess what?! It is ready for pick up tomorrow morning. Again. Charm.

These events made me realize two things.

First, do not confine yourself to one place. There are more beautiful places around. Explore. Expand your horizon. Do not be afraid. And you will be amazed.

And second. Show a little bit of niceness… It is rewarding.

ALHEX….

Finally! Nagkita na kami n alhex today. Nag eat all you can kami sa Dad’s. I am full! Bitin pa sa kwentuhan. Next tme ulit.

Welcome back Alhex! Thanks for the treat and for the pasalubong! I won’t tell, promise!

See you again soon! 

Ifs…

I want to stop wondering what if…

I want to know what is…

Familiar. Hmmm..

The 10 most…

Busy weekend.

First, I failed to watch the tree planting project of Miss Earth last Friday. To think that they had lunch at my Tito’s place. Di ko na matandaan ang reason. Ah! Preparation for my Tita’s birthday pala. My Dad was there and of course, my male cousins. Sayang!

Tapos, last Saturday… We attended an event wherein my Dad was awarded as one of the “Ten Most Outstanding Public Servant” in Batangas City. Nainip kami but then, ok lang. We all feel great that at least our dad was acknowledged. He deserves it. In fact, he deserves more!

Congrats to my dad!

Day before Yesterday…

Three missionaries from Mexico paid our home a visit this aftrenoon. It was a nice chat. Nothing really biblical. Just a casual chat with my mom and my cousins. One of the missionaries shared to me his favorite verse:

The sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory that is to be revealed to us. -Romans 8:18-

Still…

That part of my life ceased to haunt me in my dreams. But last night, the dream was clear. Just like the old times.

Sometimes, I wish I could exist in that dream…

Wish.
