For IV-7

2010-11-07T21:14:00.000-08:00

I created this. Not so cute but ...

Winner kasi!

2010-10-29T03:09:00.000-07:00

Congrats to Mr. Korea and Ms. Thailand (AKA Mom and Pa of Ella, Pat and Shen)

They are sooooo magaling and pogi/ganda. I am very happy for them. You made IV-7 and IV-8 very proud.

IV-7 : We are not 51. We are 1.
IV-8 : We are not just 48. We are IV- 8.

Aren't You Too Young For This?

2010-10-23T20:03:00.000-07:00

Yes, I am. People say that I am very young to fall in love. I guess, that's true and that's not.

True, because I am not yet ready to take big responsibilities. And not true because God nevah limits people's capacity to love.

Ella : Jireh, magmamahal pa kaya ako?

Then I realized, "Oh, instead of talking about love, I should study well and graduate."

HIWALAYAN

2010-10-21T09:54:00.000-07:00

Do you wanna know the story - the real story ? I'll let you read some of my tumblr posts about how painful it was. Note : Some painful quotes are posted too.

Start reading here.

Hey, I am really happy. Why ? 'Coz I think everything's going great. God, thanks. This place is weird - sometimes, there is love, but most of the time, there's nothing but pain.

Something to say, babe.

2010-10-03T04:56:00.000-07:00

Hi, guys ! I miss my bloggerbabe. Well, here's an update about Ella.

For those who had read my posts back to 2009, Kog and I broke up. Yez, it's pretty hard but I am doing great. I really love his family and will miss them. Well, that's the hardest part - separation.

My classmates and I went to MOA last Friday to celebrate Toni's birthday. T'was really fun. It rained and we ended up chasing each other and taking pictures. Then, yesterday, Saturday, we went to Robinson's Place Manila. We tried some dresses on then took pictures.

Do you believe in 11:11 wish ? We'll, why don't you try ? On 11-11-11 , 11:11, Hannah, Anna, Dane, Esiol, Rizel and I will be staying uplate to catch that moment. It's a deal - our deal.

A little update about my JEKKAA sisters. Aizel's getting fat, just like me. Jireh's madly in love with Marlon. Haha. Well, I think she is. Patrish's life seems to be exciting - always exciting. Shane's, well, doing great, I think. Kim's fine - good grades, in love, happy. And me, I don't know. I think I should consult an Psychologist.

P.S. Ella is still in the Denial Stage but almost there. kthxfly.

LONG TIME NO SEE, MATE !

2010-07-30T05:56:00.000-07:00

Oh hello , bloggie. I know you missed me. I've been very busy. From homeworks to projects to presentations and expectations. Well, I have to welcome you to my Senior year.

I've been very close to my groupmates - the group 5 - and also our co-teammate, group 4. I think my senior year will be memorable *rephrase* ... should be memorable. Heehee ;)

✔DLSUCET ✔UPCAT ✔USTET

ACET - Still processing. This application surprised me a little. I didn't pay for it, my godfather did. His son is studying in Admu so he asked him to get me an application form.

Oh, I have to settle things up before I leave my loving Alma Mater.

She's getting BUSY

2010-06-23T06:34:00.001-07:00

Yes, the title is really true. But I'll try my best to keep this blog updated. I promise.

That's me plus my other classmates. We're the last group - we're arranged alphabetically. Now, I always come home very tired - just like everybody else in class.

2010-06-07T08:55:00.000-07:00

Significant Human Experience for my English Class. My English teacher is my boy's adviser during his senior year.

The title will be "To Teach"

"I want to be a teacher. But nobody agrees with me to go for it.", I told Mrs. Bunag. Yes, she's is one of them. There goes my mom and my sister too. But I really want to be a teacher. What's wrong about being a teacher ? My mom complains about the (1.)salary teachers receive, (2.)the dedication, and (3.) Lack of rest. Money isn't the highlight of teaching, but education and success is. Like the engineers who design buildings and bridges, the success goes when they see that their children , their students, reached their dreams. When I finished Lualhati Bautista's Dekada '70, I concluded that being a mother is the hardest job in this planet. And being a teacher is being a mother - a source of knowledge for 50 students each year, for 40 years. Teachers look after the great students, the naughty students, the noisy ones, the unwanted, the confused, the clumsy, the sweet, the dreamers, and so on. Even though, I still want to be a teacher. I believe that we deserve education that will help us in facing life's challenges. Teachers are influential. They affect everyone's life. They touch the soul and the heart, and help people change. Filipinos deserve a better future - together with great and selfless teachers. To be a teacher, no it's not a job. Let me call it "Christian responsibility". You are a teacher on your own. And now, this is the time - you share yourself, all of you, to the world.

Note : This will be the one of the most memorable times of my Senior year - Choosing the right path.

Finally, ate Fhia is back here in the Philippines. She's my eldest sister. We watched The Last Song. A movie based on Nicholas Sparks' novel with the same title. I've been so excited to watch this.

The story is about a girl, Ronnie, who is sent to her father's to spend time with him. This character is played by Miley Cyrus. When their (Ronnie and her brother Jonah) parents divorced, their father moved to a house near a beach. Years later, Ronnie remains angry - until this summer story began.

She found people who changed her life. Will, her first love. Blaze, a new found friend. Jonah, a loyal brother. She found herself loving music -the only thing that connects her to her dad.

Another story of love, celebration of life. An unforgettable tale of love between parents and children.

Will buy the book, soon. :)

Twilight

2010-05-12T12:12:00.000-07:00

Stephenie Meyer's Twilight Saga is an int'l bestseller. I've read the book - Twilight. It's not as bad as I thought. I used to dislike this whole Twilight thing. I wondered why people go gaga for this and that vampire-boy.

The first thought that entered my mind was, "Anong natutunan ko?"

Ayon na, ang sagot ko, "Wala." Another disappointment. What a waste of time!

It's about Bella, a typical girl and a transferee to a new school, and the vampire-boy. He's sweet - Edward Cullen. Everybody, the readers, liked/likes him. Edwards struggles because he can smell Bella blood. Bella risks her life just to be with him - though she appeared kind'a stupid.

But this book (Sorry but) wasted my time. But at least, I realized it earlier than others did. Well, maybe it's only for entertaining. I believe that the most important thing in reading is learning. Ohh.

Maybe Stephenie thought that we all need a break from all the perfect fairytale stories - she's right, then.

The film, though fanatics are usually disappointed, is a way better than the book. The director and producers brought out the best. Good casting and interesting plot. They know where to cut and where to add good stuffs. I liked the movie than the book.

Dear John

2010-05-12T11:58:00.000-07:00

Another Nicholas Sparks' Classic. True love knows when to let go. Story of John, an soldier, and Savannah. They met in the most unexpected time. The found love at each other. When John left for his job, the decided to send letters to each other. "Dear John", the two words that shook their world. Returning home, John should face the land he left, finding answers for his question and looking for the woman she fell in love with last vacation.

Find yourselves crying. Nicholas is great in putting twists in his stories. Some find this disappointing but some find it worth-reading. Moving story plus great words used.

The film starring Channing Tatum and Amanda Seyfried is great. Can't find the right words to describe it - though The Notebook is a lot better than this. Good actors and good story = Job well done.

The Notebook

2010-05-12T08:54:00.000-07:00

My favorite book and my favorite movie. A story of true love. The story revolves around Noah and Allie, starting from their carefree years to gray hair days. Nicholas Sparks' The Notebook is, somehow, a story of miracle of love and its power.

Noah fell for Allie, beautiful and from a wealthy family. Mr. and Mrs. Hamilton didn't like Noah for Allie because they believed that he doesn't deserve her. Noah was a country boy while Allie was a city girl of money. That summer, they shared joy and love. Allie was forced to go college, leaving Noah behind. Noah, loving Allie so much, sent 360 letters for a year, one letter each day. After so much of waiting, he decided to serve for World War II. When he returned, his father gave up their house and gave it to Noah. He restored an old house near the river. He worked very hard to make the house look as new. After some writers discovered Noah's amazing job and posted it in a newspaper, Allie returned to North Carolina. Allie decided to choose Noah over Lon, a wealthy soldier and her fiancé.

"The best love is the kind that awakens the soul and makes us reach for more, that plants a fire in our hearts and brings peace to our minds. And that's what you've given me. That's what I'd hoped to give you forever."

- from The Notebook

Allie and Noah's endless love touched my heart. Until the part where Noah/Duke reads to Allie. Allie was suffering from Alzheimer's. Patiently, Duke told Allie the story of their love from the notebook that Allie kept. There were rough times but Duke managed to hold tight for Allie.

5 stars for both.

Life is PRECIOUS

2010-05-08T21:07:00.000-07:00

Precious : Based on the novel Push by Sapphire. It's about an overweight, not-so-intelligent, and pregnant 16y/o Claireece AKA "Precious". Her unemployed mom, Mary, is abusive. Her father, boyfriend of Mary, raped her and impregnated her twice. I was in a total shock then. When the school received the info about Precious - being pregnant for the second time, she got suspended from school and the principal helped her to go to an alternative school. There are some SUPERSTAR Scenes - Precious imagined. Precious found new friends - real friends to comfort her. After giving birth to Abdul, Mary and Precious' relationship gone worse. In the social worker's office, Mary confessed the reasons why she hits and is really mad at Precious. I was touched, Esp. when Precious leaves with Mongo - short term for Mongoloid and is her first baby, and with Abdul.

Note : Mariah C is here but I didn't recognize her. She looks old and serious in this film. Precious is the title of the Film. My blogpost's title is a part of the movie's tagline.

3-day Holiday

2010-05-08T19:27:00.000-07:00

Finally, nakapag-post na ulit. Update about my life ? This weekend is really memorable. Yihaa! My birthday. The Outing. Mom's day today.

(source)

May 7, Friday - This is my day. HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MEEEEEE. Had some visitors come - my friends, and watched Lovely Bones with them. The kulitans are really memorable to me. We more like sisters na kasi. Though something not-so-good happened, happy parin ako.

May 8, Saturday - Outing with my USAP Family. USAP is a political party in our school. We went to Fisher's Farm, Cavite but they're full so we went to Double V nalang. Enjoyed it. BTW, I hate superChlorine pools. Ugh, hurts the eyes.

"Oh, and one thing ." Carmen rolled back onto her other side, facing her mom. "I want you to be happy."

May 9, Mom's day - No special thing happened. Well, like usual Sundays, Mama and the chores are meeting this day. I love my mom. She has the patience.

Spy Next Door

2010-05-06T09:51:00.000-07:00

This is my first Jackie Chan film, a family-comedy film. Jackie Chan AKA Bob Ho is a CIA Spy. Some action or more action - kung fu and other martial arts, I expected. In this "Spy" movie, he wanna leave his job and marry his girlfriend, Gillian. Nobody knows he's a spy, even his girlfriend. Gillian's children (Ian, Farren, and Nora) don't want their mommy to marry Bob. Well, at least Nora, the youngest, likes Bob. Nora is my favorite. Aside from being sooooo cute, she loves pink too. Mixture of laughter, and some tears. It's a sweet film - well, sweet in the family part. I like films like this, another is The Pacifier, that revolves around family to laughter and some action.

Cropped jeans. Oyeh, I made this. Na-shock ang mommy ko nung nakita niya to. Early this afternoon, I was looking for my Black Freego Shorts. I can't find it. So here, the product of creativity and resourcefulness. Not bad, huh?

I tried wall climbing today. I liked it. Wanna try bungee jumping some other time. Summer is totally fun. Thanks to Arianne and kuya Paulo. :)

2010-04-29T08:06:00.000-07:00

Not allowed to eat chocolates. Why ? Allergies. Actually, I'm not allergic to Chocos but since nagkaroon ako ng allergic reaction because of eating hotdogs. Waa. ;(

This really sad for me. I can't eat seafoods, chicken :( , snacks with artificial preservatives and with food colorings. I'll just think - will try, try really really hard on this, that I'm on a very strict diet.

Sometimes

2010-04-28T09:03:00.001-07:00

Because sometimes we want to pause. We want some rest. We want time heal everything. And we'll be waiting for a new beginning.

We Are

2010-04-27T02:49:00.000-07:00

Yes, we're tired. But will never give up. We're tired but still in love.

Last Tuesday, @ Greenview Subd., Las Piñas

Ate Nikka: Bakit mo ba gusto mag-BA Filipino ?
Ella: Kasi yun yung hindi napapahalagahan eh.

Total shock after saying this. Like a kiddo, madalas hindi ko pinag-iisipan ang sinasabi ko. Do you believe me na talagang hindi napapahalagahan ang Filipino? We're forced to learn to speak/write in English because it'll help up to be globally competitive. Echosera, paano ka magiging competitive kung until now dagat parin ng basura ang pumapaligid sayo ?

Paglimot sa Isang Anghel

2010-04-12T09:42:00.000-07:00

Note : I wrote this when I was ten. I found this, finally, at my old site.

Inspiration : Concrete Angel by Martina Mcbride

Napukaw ako ng ingay na nagmula sa silid ng aking ina. Bagamat musmos pa lamang ang aking isipan, napansin ko ang mga luhang pumapatak mula sa kanyang mga mata. Napuna ko ang mga pasang nasa kanyang braso. Walang sinumang pumasok sa aking isipan maliban sa aking ama. Siya lamang ang makagagawa nito. Simula nang bumagsak ang aming negosyo, nabaon kami sa mga utang. Hindi lamang ang aking itinuturing na ina ang pinagbubuntungan ng kanyang galit, sa kadahilanang ako’y hindi nila tunay na anak, maging ako, tiyak na dumaranas ng pasakit na ito. Noon ko lamang nakita si Mama na tumangis ng tila wala nang pag-asa. Nang natanaw ako ni mama “Essie, wag kang lalapit...”

Nang inihagis ni Papa ang bote ng alak na hawak hawak niya, nagmamadali akong tumakbo patungo sa aking silid. Niyakap ko ang unan upang pigilin ang takot at ang nararamdamang awa para sa sarili at sa aking ina. Palubog na ang araw, ang tanging idarasal ko’y, “Panginoon, kung ako’y gigising pang muli bukas, hayaan n’yo po sana akong maipamalas sa aking ina ang kaligayahang nakalaan para sa kanya.”

Maaga akong gumising upang pumasok sa paaralan. Magulo ang mga kagamitan dahil sa nangyari kahapon. Tulad ng dati, wala roon si Papa. Karaniwang inuumaga siya ng uwi at sa tuwing darating siya’y lango siya sa alak. Ngunit ako’y sinorpresang hindi madatnan ni Mama sa kanyang silid. Inisip kong marahil ay naroroon siya sa may kusina. Ngunit nang nagtungo ako sa silid-lutuan, walang kahit bakas siyang naiwan. Binalot ako ng mga katanungang, “Nasaan kaya si Mama? Uuwi pa kaya siya?”

Kumuha ako ng ilang pirasong tinapay. Iyon na lamang ang magsisilbing aking pananghalian.

Lumabas ako ng bahay na mayroong pagtataka. “Mahal ba ako ng Diyos? Binigyan niya ako ng mapagmahal na ina na nariyan sa aking tabi. At sa tuwing nakikita ko ang aking mga magulang na masaya, ako’y tila anghel nagsasayaw sa langit sa sobrang tuwa.”

Nagpatuloy ako sa paglalakad sa maputik na lansangan. Bago ako makarating sa hagdan papasok sa gusaling pinag-aaralan ko, nakaagaw sa’kin ng atensyon ang isang batang kasing-edad ko, kasama ang kanyang ina, masayang inihatid sa paaralan, at ipinabaon ang halik na walang hihigit pa. Naalala ko ang aking pamilya, ang pamilyang itinuring ko.

Inunat ko ang manggas ng aking damit, naramdaman ko lamig ng hanging nagdulot ng aking pagkabagabag. Suot-suot ko parin ang blusang naisuot ko na kahapon. Walang malalim na dahilan, wala nang lakas si Mama na ipaghanda pa ako ng aking gagamitin, wala nang pagmamahal si Papa para sa akin, bilang anak niya.

Nagsimula na ang klase, ngunit itong paksa parin ang naroon sa aking isipan. Marahil ay napansin ito ng aking guro. Lagi akong matamlay, at laging mapupula ang mga mata dahil sa pag-iyak. Inaamin ko, hindi ako palakaibigan. Madaratnan n’yo akong may malalim na iniisip. Naupo ako sa ilalim ng puno. At lumapit ang isang batang lalaki, na siyang kasing edad ko. Tumabi si Chris sa akin at nagsimulang magkwento. Tama, Chris nga ang pangalan niya. Siya lamang ang nakapagpasaya sa akin sa ganoong pagkakataon. Dahil sa mga problemang aming pinagdaraanan, hindi ko nabatid na magkatabi lamang ang bahay na aming tinitir’han. Masayang-masaya akong nakilala namin ang isa’t-isa, sana gayundin si Mama... nararamdaman ang kaligayahan na aking natatamasa.

Napakabait ni Chris sa akin. Magkasabay kaming umuwi ng araw na iyon. Hindi matapos-tapos ang kanyang mga kwento. Di-alintana ang paglubog ng araw. Simula ito ng paghilum ng mga sugat sa’king damdamin

Pag-uwi ko sa bahay. Ako lamang mag-isa ang naroroon. Tila hindi pa umuuwi si Mama. Wala parin sa ayos ang mga kagamitan. Dali-dali akong umakyat sa aking silid. Pabulong kong tinawag si Chris. Ang magkatapat na bintana lamang ang nagsisilbing tulay sa aming dalawa. Malaya kong nasasabi sa kanya ang hapding aking itinatago. Ngunit, bagaman nakikita ko ang pagkahabag sa kanyang mga mata, hinayaan ko siyang malaman ang tunay na nararamdaman ko.

“Essie, hindi ka naman bibigyan ng Diyos ng problemang walang sulusyon, di ba? Siguro, may gustong ipagawa sa’yo ang Diyos, hindi yon, makakasama!”

Nabigla ako nang marinig ang maingay na kalampag ng mga gamit mula sa ibabang palapag. Dumating na si Papa. “Panginoon, kung masisilayan ko pang muli ang liwanag ng araw, hayaan niyo po sana akong magkaroon ng lakas, upang si Papa ay iligtas, mula sa apoy ng impyerno, at pusong napilas”ang tanging tumatakbo sa aking isipan.

Binuksan ni Papa ang pinto ng aking kwarto. Hinawakan ang aking buhok at sapilitan akong dinala sa may dingding. Itinulak niya ako laban sa mga dingding na ito.

“Hoy, ikaw Essie, simula ng dumating ka sa buhay namin, mula noong isang taon ka palang, hanggang sa magwalo, minalas kami’t lahat-lahat! Lumayas ka! Mabuti pa sayo’ng mamatay!” ang walang awang isinigaw ni Papa sa akin. Gamit ang kanyang mga kamay, hinawakan ang aking leeg at idiniin ang aking ulo sa dingding. Sampal, suntok, paghampas sa aking kamusmusan.

Gayundin si Chris, nakaramdam ng takot kung anong maaaring mangyari sa akin. Hindi makapaniwala si Chris na magagawa ito ng aking itinuturing na ama.

“Panginoon, kung ako’y lilisan sa mundong ito, hayaan n’yo po sanang maramdaman ko, ang kaligayahang hatid ng kaharian Mo.” pahikbi-hikbing winika ng aking pagal na puso, ang aking uhaw sa pagmamahal at pag-arugang kalooban. Marahil’y ito na nga ang huling panalanging aking maihahatid sa Ama mula dito sa lupa.

Hindi ko naiwasang umiyak. Kung sasapit man ang umaga, huli na. Wala nang makapipigil sa mga malulupit na kamay na nagdudulot ng pagdurusa.

Naging masaya ako sa desisyon ng Diyos Ama. Ang aking mga pakpak ang magtatago ng puot ng nakaraan, at ang aking ginintuang puso ang maglalahad ng katotohanan. Oo, hindi na ako nabubuhay pa, ngunit dito sa puso ng mga taong minamahal ko, si Mama, si Chris at maging si Papa, naging daan upang makapiling ko ang tagapagligtas, ako’y nananatiling anghel nila.

The Choice

2010-04-12T08:20:00.000-07:00

This coming school year is my senior year. I entered a review center to prepare myself for the exams - college entrance exams. Actually, I haven't decided about my course/subject yet. Mom and I argued over this. She told me that I should take medical-related subjects. Wanted me to be with my Ate, working in Ministry of Health -Kuwait. What I really wanted to take is BA Filipino or BSEd Major in Filipino.

Some teachers, my teachers, have regrets. I don't know why I seriously fell in love with this - Filipino Language and Literature. Personal favorite, I should say.

Ang dahilan? I believe that these kids, the youth, deserves a better future. This is for my country. Para sa darating na mga pagsubok at para sa matatamong tagumpay. Noon, walang kahulugan sa akin ang mga katagang, "Kabataan ang pag-asa ng ating bayan." Ikaw, nadama mo na ba ang pagnanais na mapabuti ang ating kalagayan? Salamat sa mga guro na naging inspirasyon at mga icons na nagpatibay ng aking kalooban tungkol sa usaping ito, Nariyan si Gng. Yaneza, Gng. Urellan, si Chiz Escudero, at syempre, si Bob Ong.

I am just typical girl. I don't collect medals and certificates. Not a great dancer. Not even a great singer. Once, embarrassed in front of 20+ students. Only, I am a concerned citizen. Observed and received a broken heart from what I saw. Natatakot ako na dumating ang araw na itong mga batang nakikita ko ay pagkakaitan ng karapatang matuto. Natatakot ako na manatili silang bulag. Nadudurog ang puso ko. Naawa ako. Nag-aalala. Hindi ito para sa akin. Para ito sa tulad nila na nangangarap.

Kung sila ma'y may magulong isipan at nagkamali, tuturuan ko silang bumangon at patuloy silang hihikayating matuto at tuparin ang kanilang mga pangarap. At sa saglit kanilang tagumpay, ngingiti ako at sasabihing, "Anak, hindi ako nagkamaling maglingkod. Salamat. Pinasaya ninyo ako."

At doon, pinapangako ko, magkakaroon ng mabuting simula ang bansang ito. Sa mga palad ng kabataan na may pagmamahal sa iyo, Pilipinas, nakasalalay ang lahat.

Is is a good thing or a bad thing ? I'm always curious. I care about answers, about reasons, who's who and who's not. Everything in this world seems interesting. I like observing people - watching the effects of certain acts.

They love Tumblr

We all know that Tumblr-ing is fun. I am one of those who left - but I returned, their blogs (like Wordpress, Livejournal, and this, Blogger) for Tumblr. But please, blogging about your real life, funny stories, interests, is alot better than reblogging photos and posts. I am not against Tumblr. But I am a fan of bloggers who stayed - telling their own stories.

First, BLOG YOUR HEART OUT. I need a space for my thoughts. I need someone who will listen.

Second, PRAY AND WAIT. Trust God. Everything will be fine.

Ella isn't a LADY GAGA fan - She's pretty cool and her songs are hitting the topcharts but she's not a good example for the youth.

Ella isn't a JUSTIN BIEBER fan - She's - I mean, He is pretty cool but not enough. ;)

Ella isn't a TWILIGHT fan - I used to be a hater. Well, I'm trying to read the book after wondering why they love Edward.

Ella isn't HARDWORKING - I'm lazy, pretty lazy. Sorry for that. My bed is so obsessed with me.

Ella isn't PATIENT - I'm always in a hurry. Want to change. Help here !!

Ella isn't a good DAUGHTER - sorry Mom and Dad. >

Ella isn't TRUE - I mean, medyo plastic ako . For good reasons naman e. Don't worry.

Weee. my masterpiece during Math Class. :))

Haha. Natuwa naman ako. Sensya na, this is the best na e.

- kalakip narin po nito ang paghingi ko ng paumanhin sa Math teacher ko, Mr. A. Cornel. Pasensya na :))

Boring kasi e. Oh yeah, our math class is kind'a boring. Maybe it's because I don't like Math. Variables makes me dizzy, sometimes. Ugh ! I received very low grade in Geom this quarter. Ugh ! Dunno what to do. :(

Reasons

2009-11-07T04:57:00.000-08:00

Wee. Who doesn't love a smile ? Hey , sometimes we cry over something and we try (always try) to ignore little stuffs that, we know (guilty here), will make us smile. :)

RANDOM reasons :

birthdays - who doesn't love greetings and gifts ? we all love snacks and party !
toys - there are different kinds of toys. even though we're already teens we still love playing.
giggles
love - yes, it is making us smile. Ops, it makes us cry too. But still, love makes the world go round and round.
computer - communication , excitement and FUN ! all in one. :)
cellphone - your from a different planet if you don't have one. messages from our loved ones makes us smile.
camera - capture each and every moment.
movies
our pets
pillows and a warm night
kisses&hugs- weeeee. happy to know somebody cares :)
shared thoughts - I still love chatting and endless talking :))
moments with the one I love - I know we all do. Yes, it's always a special moment.
eating - don't miss the "say YUMMY !" part.
sleeping - it's my fave !
reading - different ideas & stories & some typo errors make me smile . :)
I LOVE YOU - and yes, there are different ways to say it

So please, don't ignore little stuffs. Smile now. :)

Back off, back pain !

2009-11-03T03:56:00.000-08:00

Back pain, O back pain, you may leave me now.

Huu huu :(( Super sakit nga likod ko

(lowerback) I guess, the reasons are :

Posture when I'm using the computer
Practice for Friday's field demo
Improper sleeping positions

Waaaaaaa.. What should I do? :(

Doodle-loo

2009-11-01T04:40:00.001-08:00

Wee. I'm not good in drawing but i love doodles. It kills boredom, I swear. I've been posting few doodles in my FB account and wanna share it to you too. Here :

Penguin penguinyy yan. And this one (below) , trip trip ko lang mag-drawing.

Adiktus noh? Medyo funny-looking nga po eh . :))

On track

2009-10-31T23:20:00.000-07:00

Heartbreaks and teardrops are now playing. Pretty sad, isn't it? Well , I am really bothered when I hear one of my friends got a love problem. I am no expert but I do care.

Bogart, if you love her then do something that'll make everything alright. Your love is perfect. Not you, but love is.

Naku, I dunno talaga what entered my mind, at nasabi ko ito. Feeling expert ba? Here, God is love ; God is PERFECT therefore Love is perfect. Nice, may logic. :)) Am I right? Diba when you know, with all your heart, that this is the kind of love that you've been looking for then you may call it perfect. Then, there's no reason to let it go. And besides, Bogart is really lucky, Jeanne loves her too. They're not yet over, I am sure.

You're invited

2009-10-31T09:02:00.000-07:00

Uy pipolets ! Super dami kong gusto ngayon, movies, songs , books (but next time nalang yung iba).

Try to watch :

500 days of summer - super cool-let :)) daming lessons. Boy meets girl. Boy falls in love. Girl doesn't.
the Orphan - if ever na di mo pa napapanuod
Pandorum
th Echo - not satisfying but pretty cool. sakto lahn :)
2012 - interesting talaga !

Listen to :

Forever and Always by Taylor Swift
Samson by Regina Spektor
Baby, Now That I Found You by A. Krauss
Runaway by the Corrs
Avalanche by Marie Digby

Reading :

Wide Awake by David Levithan - ~~Hindi ako maka-relate~~ , I swear. Pero I want you to read it parin.
Dear John by Nicholas Sparks - love it but I haven't reached the climax yet.
Veronika Decides to Die by Paulo Coelho

Growing up !

2009-10-31T03:35:00.000-07:00

And again, I'm telling you I don't want to grow up. I saw a post about Peter Pan and missed my younger years, though I am not a fan of PPan . :))

WHAT SHE LOVES about being a KiDDO :

- getting everything you want (almost everything)

- candies

- chocox

- free rides for 4 feet and below. :)) (uso pa ba toh?)

- ice cream

- amusement parks

- less homeworks, or easier tasks

- playground

- playing games

- field trip (super kung ma-amaze)

- fairytales

- cartoons : tom&jerry, mickey mouse, rugrats, hey arnold, PPG, etc.

weee.

what's not to love ?!

may nap pa every afternoon, diba? haaaaay.

Story of an Atheist

2009-10-24T18:50:00.000-07:00

An atheist was walking through the woods. He said to himself:

“What majestic trees!”
“What powerful rivers!”
“What beautiful animals!”

As he was walking alongside the river, he heard a rustling in the bushes behind him. He turned to look. He saw a 7-foot grizzly charge towards him.

He ran as fast as he could up the path. He looked over his shoulder and saw that the bear was closing in on him. He looked over his shoulder again, and the bear was even closer.

He tripped and fell on the ground. He rolled over to pick himself up but saw that the bear was right on top of him, reaching for him with his left paw and raising his right paw to strike him.

At that instant the Atheist cried out, “Oh my God!!!”

Time Stopped. The bear froze. The forest was silent.

As a bright light shone upon the man, a voice came out of the sky:

“You deny my existence for all these years, teach others I don’t exist and even credit creation to cosmic accident. Do you expect me to help you out of this predicament? Am I to count you as a believer?”

The atheist looked directly into the light, “It would be hypocritical of me to suddenly ask You to treat me as a Christian now, but perhaps You could make the BEAR a Christian?”

“Very well,” said the voice.

The light went out. The sounds of the forest resumed.

And the bear dropped his right paw, brought both paws together, bowed his head and spoke:

“Lord bless this food, which I am about to receive from thy bounty through Christ our Lord, Amen.”

I was like "WOW". :)) Really amazing day. Finally, nakabawi narin sa akin si Kog. Actually, weeks na akong nagtatampo dahil sa pagiging busy niya. What more after the graduation? Really hard but we're trying. We watched a movie : The Echo. Hollywood version (DAW) ng Sigaw ni Yam Laranas. Not so cool, 'cause it's quite boring. Super long ng intro. Ang daldal pa naman ng kasama ko (na-inherit niya po sa akin?) Ni-buy niya ako ng NEON GUMBALLS. :)) Pero gusto ko talaga yung jawbreakers eeee. Super childish!! :)) Thanks for this wonderful day, Lord.

I miss JEKKAA

2009-10-22T09:38:00.000-07:00

well, JEKKAA are my sisters. :)

Kim left for La Union last quarter. I miss them. I miss US. I miss what we used to do. I miss singing our songs and laughing. High school is really special because of you, guys. I love you. You made me feel special. Really special ~~(child?)~~.

Actually, I'm scared nung first year ko sa high school. Yes, I am scared. Scared to discover stuffs. Should I call it - culture shock? Hmm. Ayun, finally I realized, HS wasn't scary at all. :)) Geez, I love them.

Let's start with JIREH (on the left) : she's pretty and smart. she LOVES MATH. Political Party : SAGIP

Then, AIZEL (next to Jireh) : she love's KIM BUM. average student. Political Party: MTV

Next, it meeeee. ELLA : dunno how to describe myself ee. :)) Here, FRIENDLY pero slightly mataray. Political Party: USAP

Here's KIM: super CREATIVE. sa La Union na siya nag-aaral ngayon. Political Patry (sana) : MTV

Last but not the least, PAT: green scout :) daming suitors. Political Party: ACE

SHANE (she's not there) : scout before. pa-cute (just like Ella). Political Party: ACE

Happy day today

2009-10-18T08:17:00.000-07:00

Another happy day. My day was quite boring and boring and sleepy and happy. Yey! We have classes tomorrow. BTW, Saturday was hell. We finished our quarterly exams last Saturday. After the brain-wrecking Science exam, I went to Las Piñas with Kog, then to Rob Ermita. He did bought me new books. Thanks, men! Love me, I know. :)) Hahah. Nicholas Sparks' Dear John and David Levithan's Wide Awake. I guess, I'll love Levithan's. I got a copy of Nick&Norah's Infinite Playlist (thanks to Kog again) and browsed some pages (i'm not starting yet) and liked it. I always loved N. Sparks' , he's really really great! Nothings really special today, but we ate dinner at Chowkings. Special? Yea, we never eat dinner together- of course we're high school-ers palang. :)) And hey, Dear John's showing will be on 2010. Click me for details.

Somewhere in your heart try to find a place for me, somewhere in your heart I won’t care where it would be. one little corner may not mean so much to you, but one little corner is all I ask of you.

New book

2009-10-03T20:17:00.000-07:00

Yey. My mom bought me a new book- or should I say hinold-up ko siya to buy me one. :)) Hahah. (sorry for the term)

I asked her choose from Veronika Decides to Die and Meg Cabot's Pants on Fire. She chose Paulo Coelho's. So ayun, haven't started yet. Still busy with school works- investigatory project, pattern development for Drafting Class and Perspective Drawing too. And besides, I'm not yet finish with Have to Have it by Melody Meyer. Happy reading :))

2009-10-03T06:11:00.000-07:00

I went to Robinsons-Ermita with kuya Kog this afternoon. After days of boredom, finally, we decided to watch a movie to kill this- boredom.

Pandorum

For me, this movie is really interesting. About a team, in a spaceship, looking for another planet where "Earth People" can survive. Discovering the spaceship's deadly secrets, they must fight to live. The movie started with curiosity 'til it turned to revealing. 4stars for SUSPENSE. Made me wonder.

Nadia: You just woke up?
Bower: Yeah. Just joining the party.
Nadia: You'll never make it!
Bower: And why is that?
Nadia: You're going in the wrong direction

Napanuod na po

Final Destination 4 - Really awesome. The graphics weren't that good. Cool flow. Weird ending. It's unbelievable unlike the other FD films.
Sorority Row- Pathetic. I wonder what happened to the Valedictiorian after hearing the story. Weird but with great thrill. Not bad.

Sorry for these reviews. I know it doesn't really make sense. All I wanna do is to share it with you.

I miss HIM

2009-09-30T14:00:00.001-07:00

Kuya's presence. Kuya's concern. His thoughts and funny gestures. I miss him . :(

Maybe it's because of 1-week vacation due to typhoon Ondoy. See? It's all your fault.

I hate it when I miss him and I can't help but call him. And that really pisses him off-calling and calling him. Is it wrong? Is it my fault? I wonder.

May sikreto ako . Sasabihin ko sa'yo pero ikaw lang makakaalam . Pwede ba iyon ? Ipangako mo .

Matagal ko na gusto ma-strengthen yung faith ko . Ewan ko , but I find it hard . I'm not a church people . Actually , bihira pa nga ako magpunta sa church . Usually pa , when I attend mass , hindi full attention sa Eucharistic Celebration . Yeah , I'm a baptized catholic pero the only thing that I think will help me ALOT is trying to attend a mass in a different religion (born-again). Wala naman sigurong masama do'n diba ? Ginawa rin iyon ng father ko before . Pero 'til now , catholic siya . I can feel that mayroong maitutulong ito . Something that will make everything better .

Do you think tama ?

Isa pa , I don't even have any idea about being born-again christian . I don't even know any of it's churches . Hoping for a help .

Akda ni Wilfredo

2009-07-07T04:41:00.000-07:00

Takda namin sa Filipino ang basahin ang kwentong "Silindro ni Doy ni Wilfredo Virtuso ". Magandang kwento . Oo , napakaganda . Ewan ko ba , ngunit naiyak ako ! Masyado ko naman ata dinama yung storya .

Ang Silindro ni Doy (Wilfredo Virtusio)

Doy - Sancho Pancho, nabilanggo dahil sa pagtaga sa 2 lalaki

- may 2 pilat sa kaliwang tagiliran

- pandak, maitim, matipuno, makapal

- marunong makisama

Noy- kasama ni Doy sa brigada,

Ben- kasam rin sa brigade, nagtago ng silindro

Bruno- payat at balbasin, di makatulog dahil sa silindro

*pamilya ni Doy - mula sa Negros lumipat sa Mindanao ( kagubatan) dahil sa kahirapan

- kagubatan sa Mindanao- sinaka ni Doy at nagtayo ng tirahan

*Agrarian Reform Law- nagbibigay karapatan sa mga taong nagsaka sa lupa

Aral: matutong kontrolin ang sarili (source)

Nalungkot ako . Nag-iisa na lamang si Doy . Hindi na siya nadadalaw ng kanyang pamilya dahil simula ng makulong si Doy ay nagkalayo ng sila . Isang araw , nakita ni Noy na may hawak-hawak si Doy na silindro (parang Harmonica) . Simula noon , nagsanay ng nagsanay si Doy hanggang sa maitugtog na niya ang mga piyesang inihaharana niya sa asawa . ;) Simula rin noon , hindi na tumigil sa Doy sa pagtugtog ng silindro na naging dahilan sa pagkapuyat ng mga kasam sa brigada . Kaya napagkasunduang nakawin ang silindro ng matigil na ang pagtugtog ni Doy . Hindi ko malaman bakit hindi nila maintindihan na mahalaga kay Doy ang silindro .

Tulad nga ng sabi ni Gng. Urellan , sa isang kwento may nasa likod pa , at sa likod ng kwento ay may nasa likod pa .

Bakit hindi nalang nila kinausap si Doy ? Hindi ba nila alam na sa kabila ng lungkot sa bilangguan ay nadama ni Doy ang contentment kahit paano sa tulong silindro ? Nalungkot ako .

Dahil doon , nang malaman ni Doy na nawawala ang silindro hinanap niya agad si Noy . Siya lang ang nakakaalam sa pinagtataguan ng silindro . Sinuntok niya sa Noy nang hindi nito inamin . Nagwala si Doy . Ang dating ningning na nasa mga mata ni Doy ay naglaho . Nanlisik ito . Kung sana hindi yon ang ginawa nilang aksyon , hindi magkakaganon .

Gulat ko't ng magkita sila , takot parin si Noy, humahangos pang lumapit si Doy . Hawak na niya ang silindro sa isang kamay . Humingi pa siya ng tawad kay Noy . Natuwa ako pero tingin ko'y si Noy rin ay dapat humingi ng tawad . Sabi pa ni Doy , "Suntukin mo ako , Noy para makaganti ikaw." Napakabuti niya . Pinanindigan niya na nagkamali siya nang suntukin ang kasama . Sinapok ni Noy si Doy sa nguso at pumutok ang labi nito . Imbis na gumanti , pilit niya pang ngumiti .

Wika pa'y ,"Amigo uli tayo."

Sentimental value ika nga . Nang binabasa ang kwento , unang pumasok sa isip ko ang aking lolo . Mahalaga siya sa akin , tulad ng pamilya ni Doy sakanya at ng silindro. Inalagaan niya ako simula pagkabata , sa kabila ng trabaho sa palayan na tanging pinagkakakitaan . Iniwan ako ng mga magulang ko sa aking lolo at lola . Sa panahong nangailangan ako ng tulong , andoon siya , andoon sila . Naalala ko pa ang mismong eksena nang malaman kong wala na ang aking lolo . Ganito rin , nakaharap ako sa computer , kasunod ay pagluha . Mga bagay na hindi natin kayang ipagpalit , isa doon ang aking lolo .

Para sa akin , ang aral na natutunan ko ay , PAGPAPAHALAGA . Wag nating palagpasin ang mga pagkakataong ipakita sa mga tao at maging sa munting bagay ang ating pagpapahalaga . PAG-UNAWA , kung naunawaan lang nila ang sitwasyon at problemang kinakaharap ni Doy , hindi mauuwi sa ganoon . Natutuwa ako at sa huli ay naging maayos ang lahat . Kung hango ito sa tunay na istorya , nasaan na kaya si Doy ? Mapalad siya at naging inspirasyon siya sa iba . Sana marami pang pilipino ang makabasa nito .

Salamat , Wilfredo . Salamat .

I'm browsing blogs a while ago . Then , found Marla's . Marla = a former classmate before she transferred to CHS .

it's part of growing up . never regret for falling for someone , because even he did/didn't catch you, you learned/will learn something from him

-kahit ako surprised sa sinagot ko . It was the same topic in my Filipino class this morning . All about LOVE . Pag-ibig nga naman oh - parating ISSUE . :)) Indeed , bahagi ito ng buhay . Walang kayang magpredict kung kelan darating .

"Oo, maiiwasan ito" said Gng. Urellan

Maiiwasan ? Sabi nga ni God (i mean , according to the bible) , magmahalan tayo diba ? Siguro , maiiwasan ang kapahamakan na maaring maidulot ng bawal na pag-ibig. (me ganun? ) teka , kelan ba nagiging bawal ang pag-ibig . Common sense , mahal ko , isa na dun yung pag taken na yung isa .

At ayun , medyo nawawalan na ng pag-asang masasabi ko pang "Totoo nga , pag-ibig ang dahilan ng patuloy na pag-ikot ng mundo at pagtakbo ng oras. "

Pacman & the 2010 election

2009-05-05T16:51:00.000-07:00

According to the news last night , Mr . Manny "PACMAN" Pacquiao will run . For me , this plan isn't a good idea . (warning : change language ) Kung mahusay siya sa boxing hayaan na siya muna roon . Sa ngayon , magulo ang pulitika . It's not that I under-estimate him but , everyone knows na ngayon palang siya nagpapatuloy ng pag-aaral . Ang pilipinas hindi na makakapaghintay pa para sa pagbabago , as soon as possible dapat magsimula na . Hindi rin naman siya pwedeng mag-experiment pag dating sa pulitika . Noong nakaraang taon ay tumakbo siya ngunit hindi siya nanalo . Ang naiisip ko tuloy ngayon ay tila ginamit at gagamitin lamang niya ang kasikatang natamo dahil sa tagumpay sa boxing . Sana maging matalino sa pagboto ang mga pilipino . Paumanhin kong hindi ko gusto ang mga plano ni pacman . Siguro'y sapat na ang kanyang nagawa - karangalan ng bansa . If Pacman really wants to make a difference , magagawa niya yun kahit hindi siya politiko . Hindi crab mentality ang dahilan bakit may ilang pilipino ang ayaw kay Manny Pacquiao .

Opinion ng iba .

Things Teenagers Can't Live Without

2009-05-04T09:32:00.000-07:00

1. Cellphone - Aside from being a social status symbol , it is a necessity to many . Helps everyone specially during emergencies like suspended classes , you're lost , forgotten PE uniforms and other studying materials at home .

2. Jeans - basic part of the teenage wardrobe .

3. Mall - I don't know why or which part of the mall made every teenager fall for it . Maybe because it''s the ultimate gimmick place . You find everything there , from clothes to magazines , donuts to ice cream parlors , coffee bars and restos , billiards and counterstrike , almost everything .

4. Internet - maybe because it helps us with our homeworks and research projects , the IM chat , downloading stuffs , e-mail , shop online , watch movies , and more .

5. TV - I used to love TV when I was little . I loved watching Tom&Jerry , power puff girls , and House of Mouse . Now , I like different shows . Thanks to Skycable network, more channels = more fun , with different shows that matches my interests .

6. Music - is life !

7. Hanging out - teens love get-together's .

New favorites

2009-05-03T08:12:00.000-07:00

I've been downloading movies. thanks to seedpeer and piratebay . i love watching movies , specially movies that discuss friendship (mean girls ) , love , fitting - in (the clique , wild child) , young romance ( little manhattan ) , family stuffs ( cheaper by the dozen , the pacifier , yours mine : ours , and other stuffs .

MOVIE1 : the Gameplan
The movie revovles around Mr. Joe Kingman , a quaterback and her long lost daughter Peyton . After the new year party , Peyton went to her father's place . Well , Joe got no idea about his daughter peyton . Peyton's mommy died 6 months before Peyton went to his dad's condo . Joe's manager was shocked . Well , it all ended up Joe learning his lesson . The lesson , that the best thing that happened to him is to have a child , a wonderful daughter like Peyton . Joe's team won the championship . Actually there's more to say about this movie , but all i want to say is this film is AWESOME .

MOVIE2 : A Cinderella Story
Revovles around a pretty girl , or call her a princess . Her father was her bestfriend until he died during an earthquake . So little princess lived with her stepmother and mean stepsisters . The movie is awesome . Lesson : learn to stand up , and fight for your rights .

MOVIE3 : 50 first dates
I know it's hard to court and date a girl with a sickness . Sweet.

MOVIE4 : PS I love you
You'll love this movie . It's about a choice between holding on or letting go . Holly's husband died because of brain tumor . But before he died , i wrote letters to send to holly . Holly wreceived 1 letter each day . It is sweet . Gerry planned everything and made Holly happy and finally taught her the lesson . Lesson : What makes you happy isn't permanent .

Well , that's all for now ..

Pacman's Big fight

2009-05-02T17:19:00.000-07:00

Today is Manny Pacquiao's fight against Hatton . They entitled the fight : "The Battle of East and West". Actually , I don't know why everyone is really excited about this . I don't like Pacman . I don't mean , I hate him . Umm , I can't tell . Pretty hard to explain . Filipinos treat Manny Pacquiao as a hero or something .. I just hate the fact that people excel in 1 great thing : BOXING . Boxing - basagan na mukha . Or should I say palakasan . Maybe , before , it's only for fun , but now it's a JOB . A big working experience . I can't blame those boxers . The receive cash , and fame too . The receive honor from different people . Look , Mr. Pacquiao visit the M.Palace every vacation because he received an invitation from our president . He is being praised by everybody .

My dad was invited by my tito Caesar , a relative who just came back from US . They will watch the fight in Mall of Asia . I asked papa if he can bring me along , but he refused . I just told him to bring home something for me . I want to go with them not because I want to watch that fight but to bond with them .

I can't understand why boys love to watch fight like those . I hate watching games/fight like boxing , WWE , and other violent fights . See , some kids are being influenced by these . I thought the youth is the hope of this land , but if we'll continue putting ideas to these kids' minds , how can we reach success ? I am not saying that Manny Pacquiao is a bad influence but we need guidance from parents and other people about this thing . Look at his kids , one of his sons said that he want to be like their daddy . Good , pacman said that he want his kids to finish their studies and don't follow his steps .

Hmm , those are my opinions . Afterall , God bless to Manny Pacquiao and Ricky Hatton . Be the best man win . That's All . Paalam .

*Update*
Pacman won . :)

What is one food you’d never want to taste again?
- maybe it's the Okra or the tomatoes . I hate the smell and taste .

If you could be any superhero and have super powers, which one would you like to have and why?
- I want to be the girl who can teleport . That's cool and awesome . It can help if you're in a great rush .

Ang Umaga at Ikaw

2009-05-01T16:15:00.000-07:00

Alasais na pero di parin ako nakakatulog . Ewan ko ba bakit kita iniisip . Oo , ikaw ang iniisip ko .. 2 taon ang tanda mo sa akin . Nagkakilala tayo sa canteen , naaalala ko pa .. 1st year ko iyon sa high school . Magkasunod lang ang mesa na kinauupuan natin at kasama mo si kuya JB . Si kuya jb ay anak ng isa sa mga kaibigan ni mama , pinakilala ka niya sa akin pero wala kang pakialam . Kwento ka kasi ng kwento tungkol sa DotA , online game . Wala naman sa akin iyon pero ngayon lahat ay nagbago na . Sa gulang kong ito , nabihag mo ang puso ko . Anu ba kasi ang meron ka ? Nakakapagtaka kung bakit ikaw pa ang kauna-unahan kong minahal .

Inum ng kaunting tubig . Heto , natutuwa parin at napatunayang napakatatag ko pala dahil mahigit isang taon narin kitang minamahal . Sa tulong narin ng ilang mga kaibigan ay naging malapit tayo sa isa't - isa . Simple lang naman akong mag-aaral . Ikaw , isa sa mga hinahabol-habol . Minsan pa nga , tungkol sa mga babaeng patay na patay sa iyo ang tema ng usapan natin eh . Kung hindi naman babae , bakla ! Nung una , ayoko sa iyo . Sa totoo kasi , naiilang ako sa mga ginagamit mong salita . Mga salitang parang tunog kalye . Ewan ko pero hindi ko gusto . Ikalawa , ayon sa narinig ko mahilig ka sa gulo . Mayabang ka rin raw . Ngunit lahat ng iyon ay ilan lang pala sa ugaling ikinaiba mo sa kanila . Nakilala kita bilang masayahin , mabait , romantic , at maalalahanin .

Inaabot na ng sikat ng araw ang aking higaan . Noong una , kaibigan at kapatid lang ang turingan natin . May nililigawan na noon . Wala namang problema sa akin iyon dahil pag-aaral parin ang nasa isip ko . Dumating ang araw at nahati ang panahon mo sa aming dalawa . Bihira na tayong magkasama at mag-usap . Hindi na tayo magkasabay sa lunch break . Dumating ang marso , gulat ko nalang nang may natanggap akong mensahe . Ay , ikaw pala . Noong mga panahong iyon , tila problemado ka . Sinabi mo , "Ella , nasaktan ko si Arianne" . Si Arianne ang bestfriend ko . Matagal ko nang alam na mahal ka ni Arianne bago mo pa nalaman . "Mahal niya pala ako." Hindi ko pa alam ang sasabihin sa'yo non . Basta alam ko , naawa ako kay Arianne , pero bahagi iyon ng pagmamahal . Pero teka , anu to ? Kakaiba yung pakiramdam ko . Sasabihin ko narin ba kung ano ang nararamdaman ko ? Nag-aalangan pa ako noon pero sinabi ko narin . Nakakasakit ka pero hindi mo alam at di mo rin dapat malaman . Di mo dapat malaman dahil hindi kailangan , at alam ko sa sarili kong wala akong karapatan . At labis mong ikinagulat iyon . Puro "Sorry talaga.", at "Sorry , hindi ko alam . ", ang natanggap ko mula sa iyo . Napangiti mo ako dahil doon . Salamat .

Naririnig ko ang mga ibon na nag-awitan . Inamin mo na minahal mo ako . Ngunit dahil sa ayaw mong masayang ang pagkakaibigan natin , itinago mo nalang ang nararamdaman . Naging totoo tayo sa isa't - isa matapos kong ikumpisal sa iyo ang pag-ibig ko . Halos araw araw magkausap sa telepono . Ayokong umasang magiging tayo pero kung may pagkakataon , bakit hindi . Masaya kang kasama . Madami kang interes na noon ko lang nalaman . Nanonood tayo ng sine . Tumatambay at nagkwekwentuhan . Iyo ang pinaka masayang bahagi ng buhay ko - ang kapiling ka .

May ilang dyip naring dumadaan sa kalye namin . Isang araw ng Nobyembre . Isang araw na puno ng gawain . Madami akong inaasikaso ng araw na ito .. Isang paligsahan ang naghihintay sa akin at sa aming magkakaklase . Iniwan ko sa iyo ang aking bag para iyong bantayan habang kami'y nasa paligsahan . halos alasais na ng hapon ng ako'y makalabas ng paaralan . basta ang naalala ko , andun ka .. hinihingi mo ang "Oo" mula sa akin . Nung una , medyo tulala ako . Hindi ko alam kung anung sasabihin ko sa iyo . Ang mga kaibigan mo na nasa tapat na fastfood ay may hawak na cartolina , nakalagay "I love you" . Hindi ako makapaniwala sa nangyari . Bigla nalang , lumuhod ka . Oo , sa harapan ko mismo . Sa tapat ng school gate , sa sidewalk , sa harapan ko lumuhod ka .. Hindi ako makapaniwala .. Hinawakan mo ang aking kamay , iniabot ang rosas na kulay kahel at itinanong muli , "pwede ko na ba marinig ang Oo mo ?" . Wala na akong nagawa , tutal mahal ko naman siya , "Okay , Oo na . Tumayo ka na nga dyan. " Sobrang saya ko . Pero teka , paano mo nalamang kulay kahel ang paborito ko ? salamat .

Nagugutom na ako , gusto ko nang mag-almusal . 2 buwan lang at kailangan na nating maghiwalay . Sabi mo , "Sorry , na-fall ako sa iba ," . Pinakamasakit marinig iyon sa mismong araw ng pang-ikalawang buwan natin . Nang marinig ko yo'n sobrang gulong-gulo ako . Hindi ko alam kung anong dapat gawin . Gusto mo magpaliwanag pero bago ka pa nagsalita , pinatigil kita at ako'y umalis na . Sa dami - dami ng ating pinagsamahan nauwi lang sa paghihiwalay . Siya nga pala , ipakilala mo naman ako ng personal sa kanya , dun sa dati mong bestfriend . Oo , dating bestfriend , ngayon girlfriend na . Wag kang mag-alala , hindi ako nagseselos . Basta kung kailangan mo ng kaibigan nandito lang ako . Oh siya , naghihintay na ang mundo sa pagdating ng bagong AKO . Sa ngayon , paalam muna .

Isa na namang umaga ang naririto . Hanggang kailan kaya kita hahanap-hanapin . Nangungilila na ako pero , Oo , kailangan ko nang makalimot .
