One strong voice

Please take time to watch and LISTEN. :)


Happy Earth day! :)

worth it

There are things and people that are worth the sweat. There are things and people who are worth crying for. There are things and people that are worth the time. There are things and people worth fighting for. There are things and people who deserve all of these... BUT there are also others who deserve NONE.

choose to be happy... :)


*I'll be on a trip next week. Yey! First field work... :)*

Something's new

As promised, I am growing up. I know some of you might think this is a year late but for me, this opportunity came at the right time. :)

I am happy...
I am working now...
I am contented...
and I am loving it. :)

Three weeks after my birthday and here I am on my second day at work. :) I can't spill every detail about it, at least, not yet. But one thing's for sure, this is one of the jobs that I want.

Another step in my life.. :) An improvement I should say.

happiness naman! :)

after all the drama, here are pictures of "happiness"..
it was my birthday right?! i have the right and the reason to be happy. :)

i was with Jeb and Twinkle during the 18th of March. We waited until 12 midnight and celebrated my 21st year.. thank you.. :) no pictures. I didn't bring my camera because it was a spontaneous celebration. :)

the next day, I went out with Dad, Ate Day and Bebe. We ate at Max's and it was my treat. yey!

Me

Ate and Bebe

My dad

On the 20th, I celebrated with my high schoo friends. 9 years of friendship. cheers to us! Cheers to friendship! :)

My Loyal, Loving, ever Truthful FRIENDS

Margarita for Iris! With chicken strips on the side. hahaha

They are the RNs with ME. :)

On the 21st, we went to my grandfather's house. My Aunt just arrived from Dubai and my lolo also celebrated his birthday. It was no longer my treat and it was not part of my celeb. This time, it was my Lolo's. :) I enjoyed the day because I don't often see my relatives. I was just happy to be with them once again. We went to "tribu" restaurant (Naga City) and proceeded to CWC (Pili, Camarines Sur).

I told you, this time it will be about me. :D

21... to each his own

this is late, sorry.. :)

i turned 21 last March 19. :) yey!

Let me say that this will be the mark for me to think straight. A lot of things happened and most of them are realizations.

It made me realize who my real friends are. No elaboration needed. You know who you are and I love you. :) Also, it made me think of the memories I had in the past and the things I want for my future. It would be nice to keep the people you love in the past and be with them up to the day of your last breath. But this is not always the situation. There are times that you get to move on. This is what growing up is about. You learn from your past and apply the lessons with your present so that your future will be better.

Mistakes are mis-takes. Wrong. and they should be part of your past. I cannot hold on any longer to the people and memories that once made me happy. I cannot hold on to the relationships that once molded me. I can no longer be at peace with the people who continue hurt me. I have been trying to be nice and proper for the past years of my life. Some may disagree, I know. Either you know me too well or you don't know anything about who I am and what I have been.

It is wrong to judge. It is wrong to break promises. But sometimes, some people are naturally heartbreakers, deal breakers, promise-breakers, or simply put, a JERK. haha! But these people should not be the center of your life. You can always think of them and learn from them. But they are also part of your memories. They molded you, so thank them for that. Also, in the future, you get to realize that if that Jerk did not fuck up, maybe you are not "this happy" in your present. Think of that. Be reminded.

As my friend told me, you have your own beliefs. You cannot expect others to believe that way. Yes, thank you for those words. They are the truth and they hurt me big time. But I understand what you are trying to tell me. I understand that there are some people who think deeper than I do and there are also some who are too shallow for me. We have different beliefs, we think differently. So you cannot also say those words to me without hurting my ideals. I only hoped that others will be a little more sensitive than they are. I am only hoping for some people to think of what I might be feeling. I am not trying to please every person I meet. I am only trying to avoid hurting anyone. But there are times that it is I who get hurt. Now, tell me if that is wrong. Tell me if I am the bad person in our situation.

"To each his own" will be my mantra for now. I will try to care less of others. This time, it will be about ME. MY happiness. MY wants. MY life.

One of the highlights of my birthday would be my family and my friends. :) I may not say this much, but I hope you know how much I love you. :) Thank you for being there, for simply being with me, in thoughts or physically, in the past, during my birthday, in the days after my birthday, or in the future.

Hoping for the better, acting upon it, and believing for an improved year ahead,
