Earth Hour

  

     I guess everyone knows that today is Earth Hour day! From 8:30-9:30 we must turn off all our lights so that we may help in protecting the planet. It's only one hour of no lights, so I guess we could all participate in this, right? It is so adorable how my baby cousin was the one ordering all of us to turn off all the lights because according to him it's already earth hour. It's a good thing that at such a young age, he already cares for the planet. I am proud to say that my family and I took part in this and we on our own way was able to help the planet. 

Best Grandparents

     I could say that I am the luckiest granddaughter ever because I have the best grandparents in the whole world. It may seem I am exaggerating, but that's the truth! My mom would always tell my twin and I how my grandparents would always be the one taking care of us whenever she needs to go out of town for her work. It was not an easy job because when we were younger, my sister and I were really rowdy but she never heard them complain even if she knows they were already having a hard time. She would tell us stories of how my grandpa would be carrying the two of us with both hands while wiping the floor at the same time using his feet. He would be doing all of that but would show no signs of being tired at all. While my grandma would be cooking for us and at the same time cleaning the whole house. That is why when I was younger I've always taught that they had superpowers because they never seem to get tired at all. Until today they would still constantly check on us and still baby us. I love them s much and I am truly grateful for them. I hope that someday I could return the favor by being the one taking care of them. 

Irritating

     I don't get people who shout when giving orders or when they want to express their anger and frustration, I mean seriously it's irritating. Especially when those people have a pitch tone of voice. I mean I get it, you're angry but why do you need to shout? The people whom you are talking to is not deaf, but I bet they will after talking to you. If you are angry or frustrated could you please not vent it out on the people around you because they do not need to suffer. There are other healthier ways for you to vent out your anger and frustrations. Why not sleep, eat, go for a walk, write about it? Anything would do then just shouting and causing a commotion. 

Yum

    I honestly love eating street foods even though my mom says its unsanitary. I actually wasn't a fan of street foods at first because I thought it was disgusting but thanks to my uncle, it is now one of my favorite foods. My all time favorites would be isaw and fishballs! I don't like squidballs that much because it is just not that delicious as fishballs. Haha!

     One of the best isaw I've tasted would be the one sold that is just beside Jollibee. It's not the ordinary isaw that is sold everywhere, it's breaded and the best part about is when you dip it in the vinegar. Best combination ever! It's sold for only 5 pesos per piece so it's definitely worth it. As for the best fishballs, I've got to say the best one would be the one sold along Burgundy. It's so crispy and the sauce is an added bonus. I do know that it is not safe to always eat street foods because as my mom would say, it is unsanitary, so I only eat it occasionally.

:(

     I honestly am having the worst term in my DLSU life. All my grades are low and I am in danger of failing one subject. I know I always said that after every term I will do better in the next term, but I guess I am not doing that because my grades are not improving. I know that I am lucky to be able to study in DLSU and it's saddening to know that my way of thanking my parents for this privilege is giving them unsatisfactory grades. I guess the only solution to this is to improve my study habits. It's so frustrating because I used to be grade conscious that I'd always study every night but once I entered college I became too complacent. I guess if ever I do fail that one subject, it would be a wake-up call for me to do better.

Books vs. Movies

     Many of us must already know that Hunger Games is out in theaters and it seems that all the people who have seen it can't seem to stop talking about it while those who haven't seen it yet can't wait to watch it. Honestly I don't get the hype Hunger Games is creating. Don't go hating on me okay, it's just that I haven't read the book so I might not understand the movie. I have always liked reading over watching the movie because in the books, everything is there while in the movies almost half of the book's content has been cut. I get that it concerns the budget and no one would stay in the theaters for more than three hours just to watch a movie, right? I guess when it comes to reading, your imagination is fully exercised and no one dictates to you their own preference for this character or how that scene should look like, everything is completely under your control. In the end, I might just wait for the Hunger Games to be shown on cable because I would definitely read the books first before going to watch the movie.

It has been exactly one year

     March 26, 2011 the day my high school batch mates and I bid goodbye to our high school lives together and I can't believe that it has been exactly one year since that happened. Time flew by so fast, we all can't believe that some of us have already finished our first year in college already, while others, like us who are in DLSU are almost done. I may have already adjusted to college life but there are times that I would miss my high school life. I miss wearing my plaid uniform, the cafeteria, our classrooms, the many animals roaming around the school, the fresh air, and many more. I remember that we were so scared that we wouldn't be able to adjust to college life that we won't adjust to new people since it has always been us for almost thirteen years, but now we each have our own group of college friends. I'm seriously proud of my batch mates because they are still the same people that I knew. At first, I was scared that once we become college students, many would become rebels, drunkard, or worst get pregnant at a young age but luckily those things didn't happen at all. I know that we may have new friends but that doesn't mean we would forget about each other. I know that the friendships we built in high school would last as a lifetime.

 

 

 

I hope now that there is a new batch of new graduates coming in, we could be good role models for them. Now that we are through with our first year of college, I hope that we could do better in our sophomore year. Good luck AA Batch 2011! I miss you guys! ♥

PE Culminating Activity

     Today, March 24, 2012 was a busy day. It was the final meeting of our CWTS and it was also our FWDANCE culminating activity. With it being our final meeting for CWTS it honestly gave me mixed emotions because at least I won't be waking up early on a Saturday anymore but it also means saying goodbye to the one and only class where I could be with almost all my block mates. We said our goodbyes to Sir Ron and as a gift he dismissed us early, that is why we love Sir Ron. We had lunch at Jollibee then went to Ted's condo to past the time and to get ready for our culminating activity there as well. As we finished getting ready, when we looked outside lo and behold it was raining really hard! We didn't know how to get to the Razon building without getting drenched. It was a good thing Gel Cinco offered to pass by Ted's condo so us, the girls, could hitch a ride going to Razon's while the guys being the gentlemen they were passed the offer so that we wouldn't be crowded. 

    After the stressful journey going to Razon the culminating activity finally started where we were able to watch the dances the different classes prepared. I was so nervous when it was my section's turn to perform but thanks to my very supportive block mates, my nervousness lessened instead it was replaced by me being embarrassed. It was a relief that we got through the dance with only one mistake, whew! When the program ended, the open dance floor came after to which my block mates and I took advantage of by dancing to every move we know. We ended the night by going back to Ted's condo to change and finally went home. 

40 Days

     At the start of the Lenten season I decided to give up eating french fries for forty days. I decided to do it because I can't fast since I'm still a student and I'll need all the energy I could get so I decided not eating fries would be my sacrifice. Anyone who knows me knows that my all-time favorite food would be french fries so when they found out what I wanted to do many didn't believe that I could actually do it. Now that  It's been four weeks since I've been fries free, many of my friends can't actually believe it, but let me tell you it has not been easy especially if your friends love eating at McDonald's. My sister asked me why still continue doing it if it was giving me a hard time. I guess the answer to that would be I made a promise not only to myself but also to Him and I want to honor that promise. It may be a simple promise but at least I'm doing something meaningful for the Lenten season.

Ella's 18th ♥

     Last March 10, 2012 one of my barkada celebrated her debut. It was supposed to be on September of last year but due to personal issues her family decided to have it this year which for me was a better idea. The debutante's name is Ella Guevarra and I consider her as one of my really closest friends. She's generous, funny, smart, enough with the compliments she might think I'm making her bola. 

The Debutante

I love going to debuts especially that of my high school friends because this is the time we actually are able to bond after not seeing each other for months. Her debut gave my barkada and I the chance to finally reunite after five months, because the last time we were complete was on the debut of our other kabarkada. Going to debuts also meant eating scrumptious food, I could honestly say that that part was also one of the reason I was excited to go. The most touching part of her debut would be the father-daughter dance. I saw her immediately cry the moment her father held her hand and they started dancing. It was truly touching because I felt that her dad loved her so much and she loved him as well. The debut ended with an open dance floor which my friends and I immediately invaded. Parties are really so much more fun when you love the company, the only thing I disliked would have to be wearing high heels because they caused my feet to ache terribly. 

Only few pictures because my friends were either part of the program or were exploring the hotel. Haha. Truly one fun night, too bad pictures with the debutante have not been uploaded yet. Boo. 

Procrastination

     It's every students disease and even though we always try to not do it, alas we fail. If we know this will cause us stress then why we do it? I guess when we are bombarded with too much things we do we tend to put these aside and not think about it by doing something else. I think there's comfort with pretending we don't have important things to actually do. By doing so we only pile up the things that are need to be finished and in the end we'll get more stressed and will produce mediocre outputs. This is not an advisable trait in college because mediocre outputs are not wanted by professors. I know, how could I advise when I myself do it as well. Well, I am trying not to procrastinate anymore but I still fail. Maybe when I see others being productive instead of procrastinating, I would be inspired to be productive as well.

TRUST

     Trust for me is a very big deal that's why I don't easily trust people. I see first if they are worthy and if I am sure they are, I trust them completely. It just breaks my heart that the person whom you chose to trust completely, in the end didn't care at all. After promising that she/he would keep your promise, he/she wasn't able to keep it until the end. It was not your secret to tell so why blab about it? Learn to please shut your mouth. What made me more mad was that after asking you many times if you blabbed, you still managed to lie to my face. Could you at least have the balls to admit it when you had the balls to blab about it in the first place? It may seem like a shallow thing to get mad about, but like what I said I seldom trust people so if you choose to betray me I can forgive you, but I'm sorry I can't forget. I'll need to think twice before trusting you again.
