Almost New Year

We (means my mama, papa, kuya, and I) originally planned on spending new year at our home in Rizal. However, my mom thought it'll be nice to spend it here in my cousin's place in Sta. Rosa, Laguna where we spent Christmas last year. Also, my cousin wants for us to be with his family for new year's too. Cool huh. ^_^

I also missed my nieces and nephews badly so now my family's here. My papa on the other hand would be arriving tomorrow in the afternoon.

It's gonna be a wonderful new year for us. I am praying and hoping that my family would be blessed even more. I thank God for all the love and blessings he have given us for the past years.

I get to spend time with my nieces and nephews, laugh and buy toys for them. I'm really getting older though. *Bahehehe*.

I received a really nice gift from my Kuya Edward (my cousin who owns this cool place), he gave me an Otter Box protective case for my iPhone. I was so ecstatic about it. Happy iPhone Gal Me. ^_^

*I'll be posting photos most prolly tomorrow as I am now blogging with the help of my very reliable phone*.

However, my kuya who now works as a safety officer in a construction company needs my Otter Box case even more. So I have decided to give it to him instead. That's like my second gift for him this holidays. *Good little sister me.* ^_^

Anyway, I should be getting to bed by now as I need to be up early tomorrow and write my last F&B World magazine article for this year and send it over to my boss. I think the holidays made me even more letharghic, which is not good. I do intend to start my new year as a better person. ^_^

I'll blog and post photos tomorrow, but before that I would accomplish my written piece first.

Advance happy and blessed new year to all.

^_^

I'm A Happy Etude House Girl

Some couple of months ago, I have started my fascination with Etude House's products and I am now loving every single products they have. ^_^

My Mama has been very kind and generous to give me cash to haul Etude House products. But of course, some I get to purchase from my savings too.

I tried using their Happy Teatime - Aloe Tea to cleanse my face (morning and evening). I got their cleansing foam about almost two months ago and I still have about 1/4 of it.

I love how this smells fresh and lovely after I cleanse my face. It also makes my face smooth each day, which makes it my all time favorite Etude House product. ^_^

Some few days ago, I felt that I needed to purchase another cleansing foam for the reason that I don't wanna run out of supply. I have decided to try on Etude House's Happy Teatime - Green Tea. I loved it too since I have also tried it. Gives the same effect as the Aloe Tea, however, I love the Aloe's scent better. ^_^

I am planning on purchasing Etude House's Happy Teatime - Lemon Tea. However, I wasn't able to find it in Etude House Megamall today. I'll try to check on Etude House Market-Market next week *fingers crossed*.

Oh by the way, sorry for the photos I have posted in this blog post. It's been days since I have been planning on blogging about my Etude House haul. However I was too lethargic. I'll blog about more products I have tomorrow. One day at a time and better photos too!

^_^

Also, I will purchase all the Skin Malgum family next week. I'm such a happy Etude House Gal.

^_^

But now, I have to hit the sack 'coz I have so much school stuff to accomplish tomorrow. I feel so tired and exhausted today that I even fell on a street hole without even noticing it. Now both my legs hurt and my lower back is in pain too... *Sigh*

Sweetest night everyone!

Preliminary Exams Right Around The Corner

Been quite busy with (procrastinating) school requirements since Preliminary examinations for this semester will start come Friday. Well, yes I have also been procrastinating for some few days and I know I shouldn't have been like that.

I have to make reviewers and review for my subjects. I have the full intention of getting higher marks than the marks I had last semester. I am just getting myself back on track since moving back here in my hometown was quite a fuzz.

I am now travelling almost 3 hours (without traffic) to go to school from home. I know it may sound mental of me to choose staying here over the city. However, as I come to think of it, almost 2 hours of commute from Makati to school is also such a pain in the @ss because of traffic.

So I choose to just stay here in my hometown, since I only have 3 days of classes every week. School is sort of wearing me out. I won't give up though.

^_^

I've been bombarded with school work since this morning and I still have to finish my never ending (hand written) project for my Filipino 02 subject and it's okay. I love that class so much.

So here I am now, looking all tired and fuzzy. ~_~

*Sorry for the low quality photo as I took this photo with my BB mobile.*

I wanted to take a short break away from my school projects and papers so here I am blogging. It's been a while too, since the last time I posted a blog here. I do plan to post more this coming Christmas vacation *fingers crossed*.

I have long overdue blogs and photos to post here on my blog. Can't wait for my Christmas vacation!

^_^

Wish me luck with Prelim exams!

All I've Ever Need

Excerpt from the Song: "All We'd Ever Need" by Lady Antebellum

Everyday I wipe my tears away... So many nights I've prayed for you to say;

"I should have been chasing you, I should have been trying to prove, that you were all that mattered to me..."

2014. Fingers Crossed.

*To see those beautiful eyes of yours again would be priceless...*

My Little LPU Bench

This is a late post, I originally posted this on my Facebook timeline last October 13th.

It was one of those mornings when I felt really tired from all the final examinations, projects, and school requirements that drained me of all my energy.

====

October 13, 2012

Friday Morning at LPU Manila.

I had to review for my Physical Science Final exam for that day and I planned to go to the school library. However, I wanted a serene place where I can just feel free.

I saw an empty bench in the quadrangle and just sat there. Read my book and listen to my favorite songs.

Then it occur to me...

"I really miss you so much. I miss our crazy conversations... How you can make me laugh and happy... Felt really sad... Felt like crying..."

~_~

*One more exam to go come Tuesday.*

✿ ✎ ♬ ♥

====

My little school bench is under these lovely branches of trees that give that cool shade in an extremely hot day.

So from now on, whenever I feel sad, I'll just sit under these trees, on my little school bench.

I know that there would be days when I would really feel down because I miss you. But that won't stop me from achieving my dreams...

Then maybe, when I have finally fulfilled my little dreams and reach for my shining little stars, I would be given chance to see you and be with you again...

I still believe...

Nunmuli Naneundae "So Tears Come..."

52 Long Sad Days.

It's been that long since the last time I have seen you. The last time I saw your eyes, your eyes weren't smiling that time. Void of meaning... Looking at me like they don't know me at all, you cannot even look at me straight, for reasons that I will never know and will never understand...

I have been quite busy with school that I feel physically and mentally exhausted, it's been a roller coaster ride for me and almost everyone who crams to accomplish every requirements needed for our Final Period. Exams will soon come to an end tomorrow, just one more final exam for me and I can cry "Vacation!"

I was able to find time to sleep more hours lately and now, post a blog. Also, feelings that have been shoved aside have been biding me hello recently and I know "I Miss You" a lot. I won't deny the fact that there are those times in my busy days that you crossed my mind even without seeing things that remind me of you.

Tears are now starting to fall again, maybe because I miss you and most probably because I know you've gone too far away... Far away from me.

There were those sometimes that we get to chat over FB and I remembered having been able to talk with you over the phone since you go back home and left me here, eyes all soaked up with tears.

My every day is not all gloomy though, thank God for my sweet and good friends at school who make me laugh and smile most of the times. However, I can never compare those happy days I have spent with you before from the happy days I have now.

I know you're doing well now, as I am writing these words. Too busy and too occupied with work, friends, blogging, photography, and being happy. Living your life the way you want it, far from the days you lived your few months here in the Philippines.

How I want to just fly way up south and see you. See your beautiful eyes again and have those silly conversations that can make my heart flutter with happiness...

But reality is too kind (and I am being sarcastic now), too kind to let us be thousand of miles away from each other. Living me with just memories and photographs to write about.

How I Miss You So Much... that tears are coming my way again...

I am now even learning Korean language and Hangeul so that if fate gives me another last chance to see you, I can tell you how I feel for you with words I am sure you won't have difficult time understanding...

I still believe that someday, sooner or later I will see you and your beautiful eyes again...

Strangers Again

It's been 10 long days that things have started to change, I'm not really quite sure if it was 10 days, maybe 12. I'm not sure.

I know that people do walk in and out our lives, that can't be helped. However, he stormed out into mine like I never mattered to him. Like we never shared thoughts, problems, laughter, arguments, and those priceless times where I can just take a look at his eyes and smile.

I don't know how it all turned out like this.

He left without even saying Goodbye. The last time I saw him, he just told me about some random thing. He cannot even look me in the eye and smile, just like old times. He doesn't even know how sad I have become and how tears just suddenly drop from my eyes without me knowing it.

In just a short time, we have become strangers again. I am not blaming him for making me miserable for the past few days. Because, maybe it was my fault. I would rather see two of us argue about something than seeing my face all soaked up from tears.

Was it wrong to feel Love and be honest? Was it such a crime?

I go on every day like it is the same. However, I know that my every single day will never be the same, again...

I am now once again, back to my daily school routine of: breakfast at the cafeteria, library during vacant hours, and head straight home after classes. No more: "I'll see you at 1pm after your class", "Where are you?", "I'm home.", "Did you have lunch/dinner?", "Let's watch a movie.", "I'm starving, let's eat.", "No more uniquely words.", and "Take care."

I won't hear you laugh at things that sometimes, I think are stupid. I won't get excited for my classes to end because it means I'll get to see you and your beautiful eyes...

No more "Pangtoa" for me. Especially, no more you...

I may not understand the reasons as to how things have ended like it did. But still, I am thankful to have known you and that you have become part of my life, even for just a short while. I have learn really good things from you and I know, you're a good person. You may not have treated me well for the past days (and I know, I don't deserve that cold treatment) but that doesn't mean you have become someone not-so-nice.

Maybe, this has to happen because our lives were never meant to be together. You're living your own life and I have my own too. We are two different individuals that need to part ways. You have to go back to living your real life and I have to pretend that everything is okay, until pretending becomes reality for me...

I have to keep moving forward and be strong. I have always been one and I am not regretting any of these, especially now that sadness and the 'many-questions' are haunting me.

I always live my life with no regrets and I will never regret a single day that I have loved and cared for you...

Brave Movie and Merida's Hair

Over the Phone Yesterday:

Him: "Your hair, every morning is like in Brave."
Her: *Thinking very hard about what he was trying to tell me, because he sounds really jibberish...* "Huh? What? I don't understand you..."
Him: "Okay, listen. Last movie we watch in Robinson Mall. Every breakfast, you hair is like in Brave."
Her: *Finally! I remembered telling him that my hair is like Merida's every morning.* "Oh, hahaha!!! Hahaha!!! Hahaha!!! Why? Do you know that my hair right now is like Merida's in Brave?" *That's because I haven't comb my hair since morning.*
Him: "Oh no... No..."

Hahaha!!! =))

Since he's so scared to see my hair all bushy and tangled, here's one photo for you! =P

Chitto and Kring Conversations Part 2. =D

The Truth About Street Cats and Dogs in the Philippines 101

Because Chitto is still very fascinated behind the reasons on why cats and dogs here in Pinas are very kind towards each other, here are some conclusions we came up with:

Hee's:
1. Because the cats and dogs feel HOT due to the Philippine weather. According to him, the so-called "4 Seasons" in the PH are: Hot, Hotter, Best of the Best Hot, and Hot to Hell. *Hahaha!!! I couldn't agree with him more*
2. Some street cats and dogs have skin diseases and since they don't want to get infected, they choose to distance themselves from each other.
3. That cats and dogs here grew together and eventually become friends.

Kring's:
1. Because cats and dogs here understand each other well.
2. Cats and dogs here are gentle. *Really Kring? That's the best you can think of?*

Yes, I know, this question is something I cannot really answer well and whenever we talk about this, it makes me laugh! =))

Chitto and Kring Journals - Part 01

As I have written on my past blogs that I am now on my journey to become a journalist, I have enrolled not in (Collegio de San Juan de Letran) but in Lyceum of the Philippines University, also located inside the walls of Intramuros in Manila.

It's been almost two months of getting to know people, eventually becoming friends with them, appreciating my classes and the professors, wearing a uniform that I am now starting to like (well, not really), being part of the CAS Council Committee (College of Arts and Sciences), joining school organizations, being a bit-lazy me, studying well, and those sometimes that I just don't want to attend some of my classes.

After some two weeks of attending my Basic Photography Class, I noticed two Korean students on my class that day. They look familiar because I often see the two of them around school, what I did was give one of them a copy of our past discussion notes (that "one of them" is Dragon, yes you all read right, his English name is Dragon) and the other is Chitto (that's his Filipino name by the way).

I wasn't able to converse with them because I felt that they feel awkward talking with other people, so I let them be and I am just ready to answer if they have questions regarding the class.

By the way, our Photography Class schedule is only once a week for three hours (Thursdays). After a week, I saw them again and braced myself to have a good conversation with them, it was Dragon who was very keen to talk with me and my friend LA. I noticed his friend Chitto was very quiet and asked him why, he told me the reason and I understood. =)

It was actually fun to get to know them, especially Dragon who was really fun to talk with, and that said, i think we all become friends, which is a good thing.

After another week has passed, I get to know Chitto better because I tried talking with him. I actually find him really nice and humble. That day at Photography Class, I asked Chitto if he wants to have Korean Ice Cream and he was happy at the sound of a "Sweet Korean Ice Cream", he then said the word: "Pangtoa" (which sounded "Pang-tu-wa" in my ears) over and over again, it got me thinking what the H is "Pang-tu-wa", then found out that it's a Korean Ice Cream Sandwhich. =D

*This photo was taken when we had our photowalk to come up with a decent homework for our Photography Class. (Yeah, I look like $H!+ 'cause I have been feeling quite sick that time.) Hahaha! By the way, we are two complete-opposite individuals. "Contrast in Height and Contrast in weight"

After that day, I have gotten to know Chitto more. I have noticed that he would often say that he is a very serious man. However, from what I can see, he is simply funny. He can make me laugh, just by saying different English terminologies that only he can come up with. =D

I would have to say that it was a start of a friendship that maybe, no one will ever understand. Oh, maybe because we two are both geniuses and sometimes a bit babo (stupid). =D

I am having a difficult time writing every single detail in this post, not because I have forgotten about them. Maybe it's because it's quite difficult to write about an overwhelming feeling that I am now having a really hard time understanding myself. =)

Oh, did I tell you guy and gals that I am sometimes babo? Hahaha! =))

Anyway, this was just the beginning. Weeks has passed since that day, so there are really loads of blogs to post. (Blame my busy schedule at school, I haven't been blogging for the same reason that I am very busy and sometimes, I just don't know where to start.) =D

More blog posts to come! =)

"Beautiful" By: Megan Nicole

It's been a long while since the last time I posted something here in my blog. I'm sorry, my bad... I've been quite busy with school and all that.

I've heard this song over YouTube and the lyrics says it all. Of how my heart exactly feels right this very moment.

I will be posting blog in a few and maybe somehow people will get to understand why this song has been playing on my iPod since yesterday.

Got this video uploaded by: "megannicolesite". Thanks for the video!

For That One Person Who Changed My Life

Okay, so I actually (again, for the nth time) don’t know how to start this blog post and this is how I usually got away, stating that I don’t know what to write when the truth is, there are just some things inside my mind that I am having a difficult time digesting...

I recently have decided to pursue a bachelor’s degree in Journalism and I am still and a 100 percent excited about it. I know it’s a little late for me when I have realized that it is something that I really want and it is something that’ll make me happy. I still have almost a month before classes start and I will be spending the rest of my two weeks here in the province. I love it here because it’s quiet and I can stay all day inside our home without getting hit by harsh sun rays, I love it here because I can have all the time to think about things that are important to me, also I love it here because I can write for as long as I want to and there are less city-sort-of-distractions for me. I do miss the city and my relatives back in Makati, my nieces’ and nephews’ laughter. Oh well, just a couple of weeks more.

I have been planning on posting yet another blog some few days ago and since I don’t have a decent internet connection here and I am only using my reliable BB to stay connected in the social media thingys, I have a reason to tell myself “You can post blogs all you want when you get back in the metro...”

What a crappy reason right?

So, the real reason why I wanted to blog right now is that I have been thinking about something, or rather someone for the past few months and I know that the chance I have is like 1 over a 100, I don’t even know how I started to feel this way (again...) Geez, here I go again...

I have always been a fighter, although I usually lost battles, it’s a fact actually, me losing a battle right and left. However, I know that I always fought a good fight. For me, I will only completely and truly lose when I give up... I will only lose when I tell this heart that you need to stop. But that’s not me, I am a person who has so much love that I always want to share it with other people, at least they have learned and felt love (somehow) because of the love I have...

You are now miles away from me and I know that you don’t even have the slightest idea that I feel this way for you. I won’t deny the fact that my heart skipped three beats when I saw you looking at me, I just can’t explain it but it felt really different...

I wasn’t suppose to attend that event (work related from my previous job) as I wasn’t feeling well the day before and I wasn’t even able to come to office Friday. On that Saturday morning, I was telling my co-EA that I may not be able to make it on the event with her, but she said that I have to be there and so I did. I attended the event without even thinking that I will feel that way for someone I don’t even know and someone I have never once met in the entire 28 years of my existence. I even told my co-EA that it was the other person (you are with) that I am attracted to. Well, that might be true, however, when I saw you looking at me (looking at that other person) my heart just stopped... I don’t know how it happened... I looked at you looking at me and I don’t even know how to react... I don’t know what you were thinking that moment... I even remember looking at you for the second time around and you were still looking at me... I will swim the all the seas on this planet just to know what you were thinking that time (even though I don’t know how to swim) I will still swim the deepest of the deepest seas...

I was given a chance to talk with you (more of “chat with you”) at first you were always answering my questions then lately things have changed... This made me think of things on your point of view. It got me thinking that maybe, you were just being nice and kind towards me. Maybe you’re just a really kind person and you don’t want to offend me, so you communicate with me (for that very short period of time.) All those maybes and more maybes... I know you will never feel the same way I feel for you, but that will not stop me from finding a way for me to let you know how I truly feel...

I have tried for so many times to write you a letter, but that will never be enough... I am now learning how to speak and write your language and it’ll take me months or maybe even years to be good at it. I have decided that someday, somehow I will tell you how my heart feels in person. It may take me years before I accomplish such an important thing, but it doesn’t really matter, just as long as I let you know. I don’t want to live my life with the regret of not being able to tell you that my heart feels this way. Right this very moment, the chance that you may feel the same for me is 1 percent... I can face with that reality, but not telling you how my heart feels is something I cannot live with, at least you’ll know...

I will only live once in this lifetime and I can never forgive myself if I won’t fight a good one this time. I would still be happy and thankful even if I fail to win this battle because at some point you have known how my heart feels for you.

I know, I know. People who may read this post may think I’m wasting my time, energy, and they may even think that what I wanted to do is going to be one-hell-of-a-crazy-ride and yes, it’s okay. They can think of me as one “Hopeless Girl” it’s not really important for me. Some people say I’m indifferent, well maybe I am.

However, for now I wanted to reach for my star first, so when I face you on that “One-Fine-Day” I will be someone complete. Someone who is better and stronger. Someone who may be able to change your life forever... Someone who tells you she loves you not because she wishes and hopes that you’ll love her in return, but loves you because you have change her life forever...

The Never Good Enough Me

At times like now, I can truly see how darkness converge in on me. I was never good enough for anyone... They make me feel like I have never done any single right thing for the past 28 years of my life... I was never a good daughter or sister, or a good person...

I was never good enough... Let alone a qualified person to deserve a simple life.

Haven't I been good at times when everything in our lives seem to fail? Wasn't I a good daughter to my parents? Haven't I suffered enough from all the pain, sadness, struggles, failures, and some sacrifices that I have to face for some other people to feel better and happy?

If I were to compute all the tears that has fallen from my eyes, it'll be infinite and way beyond anyone can imagine. I always wear this smile so that people won't see how weak I am...

I remember one person telling me this: "People leave you because of you..." Well, maybe that person is right, maybe because I am never good enough.

Maybe it is better that I'd rather live my life alone and not bring any more suffering (as that's what they always tell me, I am such a burden to them all...) to the people around me.

I have given my best in everything yet I always seem to fail, fail in a manner that I am always such a disappointment. Maybe that is also one reason why people can't stand to love me. They have never appreciated the simple things I can do or the simple gestures I show them, maybe simple things don't really matter...

I just want to go and leave all the pain and sadness behind me. All the not-so-good things that people tell me and in return, no matter how hard I try not to tell them not-so good things because I feel hurt, it all ends up with me feeling sadness.

Nobody knows or neither they can see how sad I am. They never asked me if I am okay. But then of course, I would always say that I am quite good. Knowing that they're just curios and they never really care.

I have been fighting a hopeless battle and yet here I am, weak from all the blows and scratches life brings me, still I try to see some little light and maybe some day, someone to save me from all these...

I may never be good enough, but still I know inside me, I can still stand.

Dear Astro Boy

Please take me to the moon and  never let anyone hurt me...

Iskringkles Chronicles - Part II

I got used to always having a backup plan. Well, just in case Plan A won’t work out well and when it finally hits you that it was never meant for you, and then you opt for a Plan B and even a Plan C.

I am now about to start yet another journey to pursuing my happiness. Some few months ago, I wasn’t really thinking of ever using my backup plan, as I thought everything is going to be A okay, but of course, we always shouldn’t expect for good things to always happen, because let’s face it, when something is not meant for you, it really is not...

I took that long Holy Week vacation because I somehow felt that things will not go through the course that I have wanted and I needed some time away from the people and work that I have come to love and appreciate. I kept it to myself and I guess everything is okay now. I will always be thankful to have met people who made me better, people who have taught me so much (more than they know they have), people that showed me who I never want to become, people that have inspired me to pursue my happiness, people that I have admired, and that one person whom I never thought would make me see other different sides of that strong-willed-word “Love.”

I will always be thankful to have been part of F&B World Magazine, even if it was short-lived. I would always treasure the times I have spend with my team and some other few people from HIP that makes my every day worthwhile. So, thank you so much to those people, they know who they are. I don’t need to list down names. =)

So now that I was given that opportunity to experience how it really is in the world of publications, I have come to realize that writing, communicating, meeting people, seeing different sights and sounds, working until wee hours of the night, dealing with different attitudes, and adjusting myself to what is needed is something that I want, something that’ll make me fulfil. I am now ready to walk on the other side.

People would always say that “Something that you worked really hard is something worthwhile, but you have to endure the sacrifices and you need to have the courage to achieve that 'something'.” So now, instead of pursuing something that I am sure people would acknowledge me because they think that profession suits me perfectly, I am now going to take a sharp turn to a journey I know I will be happy...

I know that people would then again (for the nth time) disagree, but I don’t care anymore, because being a journalist and have the confidence to write better piece of articles is something that will make me face every day life much happier.

When I was young, I never really thought of pursuing a career that is related to writing, because I have set my mind on becoming a Civil Engineer, then eventually a Programmer. Now, I have realized that I should have taken that path right from the start. But since I am a person who don’t regret and dwell on things that would only make me feel down, I took that one decision to achieving my happiness.

Not just my dreams but also my happiness...

In a few days time, I will be taking an exam at Colegio de San Juan de Letran located in Intramuros, Manila. Eventually, take up Bachelor of Arts in Journalism. I remember asking my mom when I was at my junior year taking up Civil Engiineering in Mapua, that I want to transfer school just 3 blocks away from the Red and Gold Cardinals. Of course, part of my heart still belongs to my dear Mapua (nothing can change that), but this time, I would love to become a Letran Knights because I have always admired that school. I just never had the courage to pursue my happiness before. But now, things are different.

I know this may take time (again...) and I will always be thankful to Dear God for giving me parents who are always by my side, parents that never let me fall and hit the ground. My Mama who always understands me and loves me like no one else can... My Kuya who always have to endure and put up with my eccentricities...

To my Dear Mama and Papa, I won’t let you both down this time. I know that time will come that I can make the two of you proud. Because this time, it is not just my mind that will work overtime studying, but my heart too. The passion I have for writing made me a better person, it made me understand and appreciate things that are way beyond what my brain cells can handle, and that passion is something that will never fade inside me.

And all these conclude “Iskringkles Chronicles – Part II.”

How I love this song by Ariel Lin. =)

Yes, it's in Mandarin and I know you may not understand, but still this is how my ♥ feels. Though my blog is 94% English, 3% Tagalog, and 3% Mandarin, somehow I know my Written Thoughts would get through to you... =)

I know someday, time will come that I'll find the courage and the strength to let you know how I really feel... When that time comes, I will be free again. I may never know what'll happen, but I will never have any single regret...

Iskringkles Chronicles - Part I

My F&B World Magazine Family

I started work Monday last week as an Editorial Assistant for F&B World Magazine, I know that there's so much room for improvement when it comes to writing, communicating with people, being creative, learning how to jive with everyone's mood, coming up with ways on how I can be more efficient and being a better person. =)

This job is something I have been dreaming of and no one may actually think that way since I have always been a technical person. I do love to write, obviously and being able to meet different people everyday that inspire me to be happy and fulfilled is priceless.

I have met loads of wonderful people for the last five days and I would like to thank them for being a part of my every day professional life. These people I consider good friends make me smile and laugh every now and then.

I owe this job to my good friend JP, Gold and my now Editor (Boss) Ms. Marilen. =) for giving me the opportunity to learn and shine on my own simple ways. =)

I know that there are those people who never believed in me and it's quite okay. They make me want to become a better person as each day passes by. I am praying that I'll do not the perfect job but the right and proper one for each and every tasks I am given.

There's still a very long way for me to travel and I know I'll reach my next destination because I have these wonderful people that guide and support me. My family, friends, F&B World family and Hinge Family too. =)

This is something I have been praying and I am very much thankful to God for giving me this chance and always believing in the simple things I can do. I will always be thankful for his love, guidance, support, understanding, kindness and protection. Hugs and loves for you Dear God! =D

It's gonna be a long Tuesday for me and F&B World family tomorrow. I know that I'll learn a lot of important things that will make me a better EA, know the meaning of fun + work and appreciate every day that I have this job. =)

I have also realized that sometimes, I need to believe in myself like other people do. To be a little bit more confident with myself, face people not because I have to but because I can, improve myself professionally and understand people around me.

I want to thank my family for the support they give me. My mama for the love, understanding and for taking good care of us. My papa for always supporting us. My kuya for making himself better each day too. My family here in Makati, they always make me want to be better. My best friends Bes and Panget for always believing that I can. My friends Lan and Jes. =) My cousins, nieces and nephews. My newphew + good friend Jan! He's the best! =D

I will try my very best to update my blog every now and then. Take pictures of my experiences as an EA. =)

Thank you so much God for all your blessings and love! =)

Kring, The Professional Writer in the Making

New journey means new challenges awaiting me. I know it’s going to be a long, winding and exciting new opportunities for me. I wouldn’t have gotten this chance if not for a good friend, good people, my family and our Creator.

Kring the Professional Writer in the Making. =)

Thank You God for all your Blessings! =)

First Driftless Shots for 2012! Fireworks is Love!

I have always love fireworks since I was a little girl. I love how it shines, sparkles and how colourful it is! I always admire how it rises into the air and there, it stand out.

I waited for like hours before New Year’s Eve just to take a decent fireworks shot, mind you guys, this is the first time I was able to take some few considerably good ones. =D

Year 2011 was stormy and tough for me and my family, but I know that God is too good to let this dilemma bring us down. God has made me and my family stronger and I am very thankful for all his blessings. I believe that all of these shall pass too.

Blessings will be given to everyone, I’m sure of it. =D

I am praying that my dreams will come to reality, with hard work, determination, my family’s love and with God’s blessings. I know that if things are meant for me, and if everything is God’s will, then it’ll be done. =D

I pray for my family, friends and stranger’s happiness, good health and blessings to come for this year! =D

I will always Thank You God, for all the blessings, guidance, protection, love, patience and understanding you have given me and my family.

I will never try to be perfect, but I will do my best to be better each day. No specific number of resolutions for me, what I want is for me to learn how to be better each day.

Happiness is always found inside yourself, learn how to accept things and learn how to be strong and have a never winding faith in our Creator.
