To a Special Person

It's been more than 2 months when he left. 

It's very hard to adjust...every day, I always see him,  I'm always with him-- we share our joys and sorrows every minute of our everyday lives. 

Today, there are no more fun nights, fun week-ends. I always stay at home or if not, be with my friends, but my friends have their own lives too. After school, I always go home, and every-time that I ride on a bus, I always remember the days when he was still here. When he would wait for me at school and he would bring me to a place where I could eat what I want.  When he would come to my place and check if I'm okay...and when we go to Church and review together after. Those days where the days I miss... and those days will be treasured forever in my heart.

Yes, we are very far from each other. Yes, there have been many things that has been trying to destroy us...and Yes, we keep on holding on to each other because we both know, we will grow old together...Forever. 

But you see, distance does not matter as long as you trust each other. I love him as much as I love my self...But I have to fill my sanity also. I may not be a good girl friend...I may not give him what he wants... I may have disobeyed him on things which are reasonable for some matters...But I do love him very much... 

I know he does everything that he can in order to make me happy... but everything he does is my happiness...I don't really need those luxurious gifts... especially the most expensive gift he got me for my 19th Birthday. 

Well, the iphone 5 is big deal to me. I could not take it really, but he told me that he's happy about it. And of course, I have to respect it. Yes, I am thankful that he gave me an iphone 5 because it's on my wish list. I'm not being hypocrite but it's true. I never wanted him to spend so much money for me. I am not a materialistic person. I am happy with letters, with kisses, hugs and flowers... the cost of the material is not the point. It's not the cost how you measure someone's worth...

I am not saying that I don't appreciate his efforts. I do, but I am a bit shy because I'm afraid of what will the people say. Although I should not suppose to care about what others say but, you see, my sanity will fall to zero. Nevertheless, I have to be positive. I love the iphone 5... I appreciate his effort... and I love him for making me feel special...

If you happen to read this, thank you very much and I love you beyond the galaxies. You know that I am not rich, so I wont be able to give you something expensive in return... so here it is... I hope this blog will pay off.

I love you... flowers are enough really. 

But i love the iphone too--because you have worked hard to get it for me. I adore that so much. 

Thank you for your sacrifices...your sleeping patterns that has been messed up because of me. 

Thank you for being patient in waiting for me until I get home.

Thank you for calling and reminding me to go to school early.

Thank you for loving me so much.

and Thank you for treating me so special...I couldn't ask for more...or maybe, to lower down your pride sometimes.

I love you so much...

I am now nineteen years old... and this is the last step of being a teenager...
I thank God that I have awesome parents... and their awesomeness is beyond the galaxies... Our mom gave birth on the 20th of January 1994 at 6 am with two beautiful angels. My twin sister and I...

Our Mom sent us a message telling how much she love us and we should enjoy our teenage years, but we should also remember that we are going through an avoidable circumstances...such that she is not here and my sister is at Manila and some things.

I also greeted my Mom, because today is the 19th year of her memory in delivering us in NSVD (normal spontaneous vaginal delivery).
If you happen to read my blog Ma, I LOVE YOU SO MUCH! Thanks for being a good Mother!!!

Anyhow, on my special day, I went to Church and went straight to Papa Paus Diner because my college super true friends surprised me. We had the boodle feast, which is really delicious and fun! Boodle feast is one of the most popular food in Ilocos Norte. Papa Paus is located near La Eliana Hotel and near La Preciosa at Laoag City.

After my super enjoyed surprise party at Papa Paus, I invited Eloissa (my college best friend) to come over at my place because I had a little preparation. And also, Ate Lea (Aunt Lucy's daughter) is also her 23rd birthday but she wasn't able to come home. You see, she's a police officer and she's at Ilocos Sur.

This is Eloissa and I. Apologies for the photo quality. I have slow internet connection

Some of my high school friends came over. I was happy they came but I was a little bit upset because they were incomplete. Some of them has their errands. HAHA! I love them nonetheless.

At the last hour of my small party, I remembered I have stocks of Sky Lanterns. So, Eloissa, Eugene and I lit one sky lantern.

Happy Birthday to me! :)

However, my twin sis wasn't here so I just called her at Facetime. HAHAHA! Happy Birthday sis!

Today is one of the happiest birthdays I had... Despite of all the problems and heartaches I had received on the last hour of my special day, I decided to be strong because I am now 19. 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME! :)

Stress Management Seminar

January 18, 2013 at 1:30pm
Batac National High School Payao Campus


We, the nursing students of Mariano Marcos State University conducted a seminar on mental health through stress management. Our audience were selected 3rd year and 4th year high school students of BNHS Payao Campus. The seminar went good and the students told us that they have learned something from us.

It was really a nice experience-- sharing our knowledge to others and hoping that it will help them on their lives, especially that some of them are going to college.

FINALE speaker! This is my friend, Rizzia Lorayne. She was the last speaker/lecturer for the day.

Our day isn't complete without our photos! 

Jboy and Czarina's 1st Month of being in Love

Rogelio Mabalot Jr. or commonly called as Jboy is my classmate and group mate for 2 school years now. He is also our class President. He possess the qualities of being a good leader and also he is one of the smartest kid I know. I really never thought that Jboy could find his one true love inside our classroom. Well, I have thought also that he has a thing for Rizzia. Haha! But, it was really a surprise to everybody that he has won Czarina's heart...

Czarina Jean Clarin is our new classmate, she's from Cavite and studied at DLSU. She transferred at MMSU last year. She's a very sweet person indeed, and I never thought that her heart was hit by Jboy...

On January 16, 2013 at around 11:56pm, my group mates and I were at Jboy's dormitory. We were editing our disastrous case analysis to be presented tomorrow. And as a very supportive group mate, Rizzia and I told Jboy to compose his message for Czarina, but all the while, he was busy so, we grabbed his phone and composed a very sweet message and Jboy edited it.


On their special day, Jboy bought a bouquet of beautiful red roses and gave it to Czarina. It was very sweet. Jboy gave the flowers and kissed Czarina on the forehead.

This Photo is from Rudelsa's phone. Anyway, sorry for the uploading error. 

Meanwhile, after all the rough and tiring day for all of us, we stayed longer at school because my classmates told us that Czarina has a surprise for Jboy. Of course, we stayed longer because I don't want to miss a surprise!

Jerome asked Jboy to accompany him somewhere, and of course it was a part of the plan... Czarina's group mates and my group mates gathered around and prepared for the surprise...

The ambiance of the CHS lobby was really sweet and the background music was one of my favorite songs, A thousand years...
Jboy arrives, and his expression was priceless. It was a really sweet and special for the couples. Congratulations Jboy and Czarina!

My group mates and Czarina's group mates and of course, Jboy and Her. :)

NEW YEAR...NEW BEGINNINGS

Days pass like butterflies in the wind, days pass swiftly and leaves bitter-sweet memories... 

Last year (2012), I have faced many challenges. I told myself, the odds are not in my favor. The family company has burned out, we have been robbed, and the love of my life permanently moved to a place far from the Philippines. However, despite all the odds that are against me, I am still here, fighting for my dreams... Now that 2012 is just a part of the history, I will make my new year a productive one. Although we are facing the financial scarce in the family, I know God has all the reasons why we are in this situation. God has other plans for us and I know He is always with us no matter what. 

This year, all I wanted is that my Mom remains okay at London... that she will be able to endure all the problems that may come and that she'll remain strong even we are far from each other. I know God protects her all the time and she will be forever included in my prayers. I love my Mom so much and I missed her. I wanted also to have enough money so that I could travel or we could all go to London to see her to end up our longing for each other.

This year, I also want my Step father to be okay, that he will be an open minded person...that he will listen to the comments and suggestions of the people around him. That he will be able to realize everything he says and does. And that he will be an honest man or even be honest to himself. I hope he will be a better person this year and that he will not be repeating the same errors he have done for the past years... I know it will never be late.

This year, I want my sister to be strong, to be expressive and above all be positive at all times. I know she can but she just over think things. 

This year, I wish my father will keep his promise. I wanted him to pay my affiliation fee as what he has promised last summer of 2012. My affiliation is getting nearer. I know my father is going through a lot of things, and he is also studying law at the moment. However, it's time for him to fulfill his role as our father... I love my father so much, but today, I need his financial assistance. 

This year, I wish that our relatives will start talking to our other relatives... I mean those who had fights, those who haven't talked to each other for years. It's time for them to reunite and have peace in their hearts. Misunderstandings and gap between families creates distance among its members... I don't want awkward moments when we will our family reunion. 

This year, I am hoping the best for me. I know I will pass all my subjects this semester and I will be able to attend the Summer Affiliation at Manila. I know I will surpass all the challenges that will come and I know that God is with me all the time. Also, I know my relationship with Vincent will be stronger than ever despite the distance we have. Distance does not matter really, it's all about the trust and commitment.

Well, I hope that my family will have the best f 2013 and God is with us! 

Happy New Year Everybody!
