My sweet mom makes me cry again; Strike 21!

    I think it is worth to be shared.

    I have this behavior of checking my e-mail first early in the morning. But today, my mom let me extend my sleeping hours until past eight.

    She tried not to make noise, not even a knock at my door to wake me. Unknowingly, she was into my desktop, already started to the boot-up scan while preparing my favorite breakfast combo—fried rice, my mom's homemade daing na Bangus (milk fish, marinated overnight and fried), unripe mango salsa perfectly goes with the daing, egg sunny side up, cabbage soup and a hot cup of black coffee.

    I woke up past eight and was surprised by the moment and absolutely touched by her effort...

    This, after a long time, was the first time again that she prepared a breakfast for me.

    As I sat and took a sip of the coffee she had prepared, she whispered, "My only princess deserves a dish served with love." She smiled with tears in her eyes and left me in the kitchen.

    I can't help myself, but to cry like a child. I just murmured my thanks because I can't say a thing. Overwhelmed, she never failed to make me cry first in the morning of my every birthdays.

I saw this Google Doodle on the home page. It was so delighting that a doodle
will greet you on your birthday. Nice one Google!

Get together with my long-time friends

    A day before my 21st birthday, I managed to make time today with and gather the people that I loved most--my two long-time friends, Enrico and Rea.

    I haven't been in touched with them for almost three years and this time around, I took the opportunity of the holiday tardiness that resulted to cancellation of class and use my free time to see them again. (I doubt I shouldn't have attended my class today; I waited for about six hours for nothing that even my Entreprenural class, which was the last of the seven subjects I have today.)

    We have been through a fast food and ate spaghetti (thing we never done before) and talk about the moments we are separated from each other and the and, of course, life talk that we miss doing for a long time.

    They change a lot—physically. We have not been speaking to each other for the last three years, but they are still the same person that I used to be with for the past 12 years of my life.

::Having fun in the
Enrico got the first place::

    ::Enrico:: was my first guy friend. He transferred to our school when we were in third grade. And, as I remember, he was the tallest among the boys and the first among the class to wear eyeglasses for medical reasons. I have never been too close to any boys in the class, except him. Actually, we became friends unintentionally; it was like the same ordinary, daily conversation together with the other classroom mates. And, we became comfortable with and get used to talk with each other each day. We are like the geeky type on the class before and we always feel awkward and teased by the bullies. Then, on, we always look up to each other's back like warriors with swords and shields (like a normal kids do, during our daydreaming hours). We never noticed, the years have passed and still, we got each other's back. That is why I really value the friendship we build together.

::preety Rea:

    ::Rea:: was a transferred student from Dubai. That was when we were in third year high school (/junior high/ last of the two years we had in high school). She came back to school late that was a month and a half after the start of the school year. At first, we feel unease because we thought she wasn't talking in Filipino language and we always teased each other, saying: "Nose bleed!" (It can't be said without ending a demonic laughter, ha ha!). Yes, she can speak Filipino language, but not fluent. We taught her of some common terms that she is not familiar with especially in our Filipino Literature subject, which even us are having a hard time dealing with the deeper words. She's three years older than all the girls in the class aside from her step sister, which is also our class mate. Though she is the eldest in the class, she always treated as the "Bunso" or the youngest and fragile (like a youngest sibling in a family). She is fragile in all aspects of her being—emotional. That is why we always smooth and careful with of her.

    We had an enjoyable night together—from arcade games, food, small talk, and most of all, the pleasure of having them, again, by my side after a long time. I am overwhelmed and delighted with this moment to the point that I almost cry, but I just stopped myself a hide the tears just not to break the momentum of each other's amusement.

    I am looking forward to another fun-fun Friday night with them, but this time, I am planning to invite my two best of girlfriends together, ::Joanna:: and ::Christine::.

    I think this is the best birthday gift that I had given myself—a gift that captivate my sentimental soul and an enchantment to my life.

New school, new friends, new life

    The last two months of 2012 was the busiest months I've had since I came back to college to finish the last three semesters of my degree.

    Busy for the documents for transferring to another school (by which, apparently, still on process), but I am able to enroll to another college school. Busy working for Big Boss (which is father) as her auditing/marketing/production assistant which makes me, again, stay away from the web.

    Going back, I have to transfer to another school. This time, not in a university, but just a college school. Anyway, I am thankful that I am able to study again and finish my degree.

    I met new friends and are very understanding and has a good personality amid their pasts, they stand strong and inspires people—inspire me.

::Gladys::

    ::Gladys::, a returning student on the same course, is so pretty and has an inspiring story that has shared to me; I am not in the place to tell what it is, but it is something that has tested her faith and loved her husband even more. I saw their pictures on Facebook and the way that she describes to me her husband every time she opens her notebook with his picture in it in front during class makes me say: "I wish I could meet the lucky guy". They are very lucky to have each other.

::Marivel and her sister Marites::
My shot :) at Madagascar
Christmas adventure

    Down to earth and a real description of "Dalagang Filipina" and "Maria Clara" is ::Marivel::. She's from Samar and an Octoberian student. Same as me, this is her first semester at the same school and I feel blessed to be with her because she resembles my old time friend, Rea. They have the same characteristics. She makes everyone smile, effortless.

      Lovely as she was named, ::Lovely:: is a true lovely girl with a unique charm and simplicity in her own ways. We are in the same Entrepreneur class, just one subject, but I think we have spent half of our days together chatting about our past universities. I think we are bound together because we share the same situations—stopped for two years and returned as transferred students.

::Study Harder!! lovely in her term papers::

     Though, every day was very tiring—physically, these people who are making me happy in every single ways and enthuse me to make my daily living more splendid. I hoped to have more wonderful days with them.

Back to blogging--with a new life

    Happy new year everyone! It has been months since the last time I posted something here. The last two months of yesteryear was the best months I've had for the year 2012.

    I continue studying my degree, although I had to transfer to another school. Returning to school this time was the best timing since I think I had nurtured myself from other things that has nothing to do with what I my degree scope is. Two years away from school have been a very long time of learning, maturing and making one self intelligent enough and responsible for making decisions and actions. I saw the great difference from what I am two years ago and what I am today, and I can see how gaining confidence and using it in a good way out stand myself from others.

    I met new friends and build a good reputation in my new environment; since I promised to myself that this chance of returning to school will be the time that I will start to live the life that I wanted--with freedom to choose and follow my dreams as I go with the flow of life.

    I hoped this would be the start of enjoying myself and loving the life that I have and say that “I live my life the way I want, just laugh and smile for the good and even the bad things that will come and live longer and make this world a better place”

    Happy New Year!!!

Halloweeee!!!: Spooks and scribbles

    Just lately, I had been into scribble drawings. It really makes me feel awful, it's hard to make something that's out of your line. I'm more of perfectionist in terms of my artworks and this one becomes a challenge for me.

    Scribble drawing is more likely a child's drawing and that's what I've been trying to do for the past years which I can't apply my being perfectionist. I do understand that it is the imperfection that makes the scribble drawings even more beautiful and cute, but my hands can't understand that thing.

Spooky Halloween from your Vampy bunny

    Anyway, I'm subscribe into ::Scribblegraph:: on Google+ and I found his works very cute and the quotes about love is so much are inspiring. They are having their website launching this coming October 31st (yehey!).

Artist of the week: The late Isabel

    This week's my favorite artist that suits the Halloween season.

    Hypnotic, dark and Gothic, The late Isabel's music scheme is one of the Pinoy bands that surely leave the spooks under your skin. If you're looking for some music to set the mood into a misty and spooky atmosphere, their haunted and enthralling albums 'Doll's head' and 'Lackadaisical' are the best to listen to this week.

    Wawi Navarroza (vocals), JP Agcaoili (drums), Roval Bacale (bass), and Allan Hernandez (guitar) had brought the stream into a fresh sound to the Filipino music scene. 'Doll's head' is their first album that was released in 2005 and 'Lackadaisical', limited edition CD with four (4) tracks was released last year, April 2012.

    "My favorite things" was the first music video that introduced me to The late Isabel band way back late 2005 (MTV was still available at Philippine free TV that time) and that was also the year when I was slowly digging into the inner me and pulling out the darkness in me...

An inherited furniture especially made by the late grandpa

    One of the best and my favourite wooden furniture that my late grandfather, Elesio Sr., had made was the king sized bed with a fascinating wood carved design. Isn't it sweet?

    My grandfather was a woodcarver, furniture maker and a musical instrument maker. He has a great hands and amazing talent that I really adore (thank God I had inherited his talent, except for the passion for playing musical instruments which my younger sisters' inherited talent).

    I always sleep at my parents' room during weekend afternoons together with my younger brothers and sisters right after we had pillow fights. When we were younger and my grandfather was still with us, we used to draw and do crafts in this bed. I remember one time that I accidentally spilled a red paint in the bed and my mama got mad at me and mama didn't make me a chocolate drink for almost a week (Ha ha).
