Today is the last day of July. I’m stoked for an awesome August. #optimistic

I pray for a great new month and I believe it will be. August is the birth month of my brother… and as well as G dragon (nyahaha very significant right?) 

July has been pretty well to me. It was a pull-out month for me. I’ve conquered some of my fears. Thank God! 

I have a goal for the month of August. I should deal with my crybaby moments. I should make my heart stronger. Just like Pixie Lott song, ♫♪Never gonna bring me down. Gonna keep on dancing till the sun comes out.♫♪ I should never let anyone or anything bring me down. 

I feel so blessed not just with material things but with the love and concern of the people around me. Speaking of, I was able to buy a lot this month.

Thank you Lord. 

I wish I have a time machine. Can someone lend me one? haha

My cousin and I have the same watch. Thank you Ninang Jenny!:-) 

Time flies so fast. I’m turning 21 this coming Valentine’s day. It’s been almost 6 months since I passed the nursing board exam.

All I can do now is to live for today and hope for the future as quoted from Edric Chen’s blog. I will seize each day. 

I was so upset last week. Such a crybaby. I’m getting better each day. I always believe that everything happens for a reason.

[February 8, Wednes-date] I was with Denise, Jieneth, and Justine in Trinoma. We just had a food trip. In a span of 6 hours, we had 3 meals. haha. Talk about gluttony. Bonchon+Happy Lemon+Yellow Cab Pizza. We had a chicken overload in Bonchon. Thanks to Justine’s treat. Happy Lemon’s Cocoa with rocksalt and cheese is <3. We had Manhattan Meatlovers at Yellow cab. We talked about random things. 

With my dearest Teng. :-) (Photo from Denise)

Thank you for this Teng! When I saw this, I shouted STAR! haha. 

Had a great time with lovely people. I really had fun on our Wednes-date. :-)) Till next time. 

5..4..3..2..1…. WELCOME 2012!!! 

(wahaha. I just need to type this, since I can’t think of a good one. lol) Originally, this was really a long post but I accidentally clicked the back button. Only a part of my original blog entry was retrieved. :-(( 

Enough with that, I need to spread positivity. haha! 

haha! I’m sorry for this. I just want to make one. 

2011 just ended. It’s already 2012. Another 365 days to fill in with memories and adventures. 

I think 2011 went by so fast, a little too fast. The year 2011 has been so memorable to me. It is the most eventful year to me. When I say eventful, I really mean it! wohoo! Great things happened to me this year. 

First, I turned TWEENTEEN this year. haha Ipilit ang pagiging teenager! haha I had a 2pm-10pm duty at RMC on my birthday. Got 2 long stem red roses and a cookie from NJ and Wilson on that day. The g51 girls got roses from them. So sweet. The roses were delivered by Wilson all the way to Shaw Blvd because G51 are not together for the last duty rotation.

Post birthday celebration on the 18th of February. My group 51 family gave me Etude House products. I remember my 19th birthday, they also gave me an Etude House lip tint and a Lee Min Ho folder. During that time, my boyfriend in my dreams(hahah), Lee Min Ho, was the endorser of Etude House. They really know how much I like Lee Min Ho. haha. 

Etude house products

After class, I had dinner with my F1 and F2. We are complete that day! Laine organized everything. Oha! May future na siya sa pagiging event organizer. haha! It’s so hard for us to have a get together without anyone missing. I did not pay anything, buti na lang! hahaha chos! They did not even gave me a chance to view the receipt. The dinner is their gift for me. Laine’s birthday gift to me was a Marithe +Francois Girbaud wallet. 

Dinner with F1 and F2 at Gerry’s Grill

With my best buddy. :-) That’s the wallet that she gave me. 

It’s not the material things that made my 20th birthday celebration memorable. It was those lovely people who always make me feel special. I thank God for them. :-) You know guys who you are, my deepest gratitude to all of you. 

Second, I graduated college from Far Eastern University last April 12, 2011.  Hmm. I’m not grade conscious, well on my opinion. I just always give my best in everything that I do. I don’t want to regret. So I always study hard since I was a kid. I don’t know why. I just love studying and learning a lot of new things. When I was a kid, I really cry whenever I got low on quizzes even on recitations. If I’m not contented with what I’ve said and on my scores I always cry. Well, I abandoned that attitude before I entered high school. I’m no longer that sensitive. I always give my best, even if there are times that my scores are not that high enough and even though I don’t always win on competitions, I don’t regret because I know I did my best. If I feel regretful, it means I was not able to give my best. I brought that philosophy when I entered college. 

I entered college without so much thoughts on Latin honors. I just focused on my studies. With that much passion on studying and God’s help I was able to make my parents so proud of me. I know being so diligent on my studies is not enough to return all the favors that my parents gave to me. drama much. haha. Well, I always see myself as someone who still lots of things to learn. I really do! I really enjoy being with people on whom I can learn a lot. 

Third, I took the greatest exam of my life last July 2 and 3. I chose the review center that I can trust. I chose ARTS. Reviewing for the board exam has been so much fun with ARTS family. I believe in them and they make us believe on ourselves. My faith has been much stronger. So on the day of the board exam, I felt not that much nervousness. I know God is with me. 

My fellow ARTS-mate. :-)

L TO R: Kim, Justine,Me, Den, Laine, IDK him(hahaha!), Cellene

Fourth, I passed the nursing board exam. I’m pretty much happy with my board rating. You can’t imagine how nervous I was on the day of the results. I was 300x more nervous on that day than I was when taking the board exams. Exaggerated? NO! Those who took the board exam can agree with me. Am I right?

Print screen of my name in the list of passers. 

Fifth, my father witnessed my oath taking(09-18-11) as a registered nurse. He was not able to see me marching on my graduation day last April but he was present when I was officially been considered as a registered nurse. It’s 100x more awesome! haha

Sixth, I have created so much memories this 2011 with my family and friends. Some of those were:

February 3. I went to Binondo with Denise, Cellene and Carlo to celebrate Lunar New Year. We ate authentic Chinese foods. I will never forget the black chicken!!haha Shanghai fried siopao is the best!

February 22. We also tried Thai food at Banana Leaf. For a change naman, haha. Break for a while from Korean restaurants.

August 6-16. Spent 10 days away from the city. Visited my Lola in Leyte with my family. Enjoyed the beach! Lechon FTW!

October 11. Dinner with F1 and F2. Happy but somehow sad because Mac will leave to Taiwan. Read my post about it, here. 

October 23. Had a mini reunion with my high school classmates. Fun being with them again. Talking about our chosen fields and blah blah.  :-)

December 15. Went to Korean Cultural Center with Denise. Read my post about it, here. 

Thank you 2011 for giving me so much happy memories. 2011 has been an awesome year to me, I hope 2012 will be the same, or more awesome! I’m looking forward to create more memories on the year 2012. I”ll be turning 21 on 2012. So I made sure that I’ll be having a great 2012 by having my 2012 checklist, 365 day challenge and my dreamboard. Let us all reach our dreams! Let us make this world a better place. Don’t just think of yourselves. Do something for the environment, for other people. Remember, evilness starts with selfishness. Share what you can share.

“I will not give that which costs me nothing. For then, my sacrifice would be halfhearted.” -Edric Chen”

Smile more often. Be sincere when saying thank you. When you say sorry, mean it. Be more understanding. Be more patient. Be the best person you can be. 

Let us leave all the negativity. Let’s face 2012 with positivity, peace, and hope. Make 2012 your year! Start your year right! 

Happy New Year to you, you and you, you, you, you. :-)) 

God bless us all!

It’s been a long time since I spent time with Denise. Finally, we had time to meet. We went to Korean Cultural Center. 

December 15, 2011.

Our meeting time is 1:30PM at Ayala MRT station but I was late! Aish. Arrive there around 2PM, not sure. I was late because I bought a Christmas card plus wrote a message before heading to MRT Cubao. Mianhe for being late Denise! 

It’s my first time being in Taguig. We rode a bus going to  Korean Cultural Center. KCC is near St.Lukes Global. 

Denise is so familiar with the place since she’s always there. They had a dance practice that day. 

This is what you’ll see upon entering KCC. Look at that wall clock! Kyeopta!

We stayed first at the KCC library. I did not read books! haha I browsed the Kpop albums. I really love how they conceptualize each album. I really like the 2AM limited edition album, it is so unique! It has a newspaper like poster plus a passport. Waah, it’s really cute. 

After that, we ate at KFC. Snackbox plus spaghetti! I’m so gaya gaya. haha! Ginaya ko lang ang order ni Den. After that we went back to KCC. Took some pictures inside.

Photos care of Denise using my phone’s camera.

The SM entertainment bias TV! HAHA. 

Around 4pm, we entered their dance hall (IDK what they call it). Advance dance class students were already there plus some of Denise’s friends from basic dance class. They are so friendly. Fun atmosphere. I’ve seen Dasuri, too.  Dasuri is their dance teacher. She’s a Korean who used to be a trainee in JYP entertainment. She’s pretty! I watched them practice. I stayed until 8pm. It’s their graduation day on Dec17, Sat.

SNSD :-) Denise is the one with the green bib. They’ll be dancing The Boys on their graduation day on the 17th of December. 

Thank you for this photo Den!

I really had fun. Di mo mamamalayan ang oras. Thank you Denise! :-) 

BTW, I’m a Primadonna (FT Island fan) and a Boice(CNBLUE fan). I do know most of Kpop groups. Now, I’m on semi hiatus. Yes, I’m now outdated. haha Actually, my first love is Kdrama. I’ve watched a lot of Kdramas even before they were aired in the Philippines. My love for Kdrama will never change. I’m a Minoz(Lee Min Ho fan). He’s my super duper favorite Korean actor! I download most of his dramas since BOF. I actually downloaded City Hunter which is almost a 15+GB file via torrent. Well, that’s how much I love Minho. He never fails to amaze me. City Hunter is really a must watch. You’ll never regret watching it. Each episode is so full of action scenes. Everything on that drama is so epic! Too much bragging about Lee Min Ho. Enough now. haha! Just watch it, and you’ll understand me. Read my post about City Hunter here.

9 days to go before Christmas!!
