-uh oh-

because it's been a long time since i last posted pictures on multiply, i have planned to do it today... however, just when i was about to post pictures, i realized that this laptop don't have the card reader that fits a Sony PRO Duo memory stick.

kainis pa kasi di ko lam kung PC ba ang may problem o ung connection namin kasi ayaw magconnect sa multiply... hmp.. anu ba yan!

-sigh-

kelan ko kaya mapopost ang santambak na larawang hanggang ngayon ay nasa 'memory sitck' pa rin [pasensya na di ko alam ang tagalog sa 'memory stick' eh.. haha..]

*********

and one thing more... my voice is not coming back yet... i still have what they call 'husky' voice... pero para sa'kin di naman talaga husky ang tawag sa boses ko... ito ay itago na lang natin sa tawag na 'stressed voice' ...haha... kasi nakukuha daw ang ganitong kalagayan sa sobrang pagod at puyat... siguro after effect din to ng EK weekend [see pictures for ref (soooon) namin last sunday at ng kuwentuhan sa bus with ate mhe [sa ilalim ng aircon na sobrang lakas... nahanginan ung bumbunan ko.. haha]

ang masasabi ko lang.....

ang hirap pala ng di makasalita... mas gusto mo dumaldal... haha...

*********

di din ako nakasayaw ngayon... tsk tsk tsk... kasi naman nagising ako kaninang 0300H na masakit talaga lalamunan ko... ung feeling mo lalagnatin ka na? ganun ung feeling ko... tapos 0553H nagising ulit ako, sinubukan magsalita pero mahirap pa rin... huhu...

yan tuloy, di na ko pinasayaw ni nanay... kelangan din ako gumaling agad kasi di pa ko tapos mag-OJT... at sasayaw ulit [sana] kami next week... bakit sana? kasi may new sched na ang worship team... kaya malamang may new sched rin kami...

*********

sana mahanap ko na ang 'notebook-slash-journal-slash-confidant' ko... ito ay huling natagpuan, martes, ika-22 ng Abril, sa carpet ng living room namin... uh oh talaga... la ko magawa... argh!

i guess i got to move on and start writing on a new journal... just as what i did today... haha...

*********

so ayan na lahat... sana kahit mahaba... la lang... to be continued...

dinner...

gulay at tubig

~ la lang... i just missed eating lettuce... sa mga hindi nakakaalam, may lahing baka o kambing yata ako.. haha... seriously, nakakamiss lang talaga kumain ng gulay.. ^^

It's 2008...

HAPPY because...

...i'm almost done with all my requirements for this semester... isang event na lang tapos na...
...dahil malapit na sembreak ko [gulo ko noh? according to my previous post la na class... pero di pa rin sembreak? oh well, kasi may isa pa kong subject na 'no-comment-na-lang-ako'... at may paper na kakapasa pa lang...]
...sembreak na si GIA and she's planning to schedule an ice skating bonding! yehey! [sa mga interested sumama sa bonding na'to, please coordinate with GIA... ^_^]


BLESSED because...

...we just had our first session of the Worship Department Leadership Enhancement Seminar with Ptr. Anthony last night [kasi nga umaga na... ^_^]... the topic? [haha..] a leader must be a VISIONARY! [kakatuwa lang how God made that session connected with our topics sa towdah sessions... -c-,] kakamiss nga sina ate che ann at chayanne... kasi wala sila sa session kanina [ay, kagabi pala]...


EXCITED because...

...i will be having a copy of the fourth quarter issue Word4Utoday very soon [mamaya na nga yata]... yehey! [special thank you in advance, ate weng!]

...a few hours from now, [syempre umaga na di pa rin ako natutulog diba? hehe] Youth and YA Worship Revival na... sana nga MMR-wide na lang ung revival... la lang... para makabonding ulit ang mga taga COG-MMR churches... ANYWAY, kahit di kayo taga-dasma invite ko pa rin kayo... everybody's invited sa...

COG-Dasma Youth and Young Adults Worship Revival

registration is free!

...im just excited... i believe has something for all of us sa revival...
...i believe the worship revival would be gathering hungry hearts and thirsty souls... i'm excited to meet with God together with co-youth and co-dancers...


la lang... nakakamiss ang mga ganitong bagay... ^_^


SAD also because of one thing i don't wanna ask or talk about... but i believe God has bigger plans why He didn't allow that to happen... i may still not understand it now, but in time i believe God will make me understand it...



God bless us all!

random updates

today is the last day of classes for UP. but for me, and for the rest of the other classes, we still have to go through the hole of a needle...

we still have to report in class on tuesday....
some more papers to accomplish...
an event to hold...

Student Evaluation Test. this morning, we had another sets of S.E.T.'s for our Tourism Promotions (T153) and MICE Management (T126) classes... kung alam lang ni ma'am vicky kung gaano kami ka-excited magsagot nito.. haha...

don't ask me why coz it's kinda confidential... [kung di ka part ng classes na yun..hehe]... hehe...

pero SET times are sometimes boring... kasi you have to answer almost 4 pages of evaluation questions...

-ma'am vicky, by the way, is not our professor. she is part of the academic affairs something in AIT. sya ung nagcoconduct ng SET sa lahat ng subjects sa lahat ng students...-


Towdah Sessions. We had our lecture 4 on our leadership series yesterday. but we started late and practiced for angkla first because both i and ate eurice almost forgot that we have session... tapos si ate thine naglipat bahay pa sa manila.. e kaming 3 la naman ang members ng towdah ngayon kasi si may isang nasa jeddah [hehe]... anyway, the lacture was about VISION... next time na ko magpopost ng insights...

Towdah Exam & Home Visit. We had our first exam last Tuesday... for lectures 1-3... kinda scary at first because ate eu and i weren't able to prepare much... and probably because we're excited for our supposedly overnight home visit at ate pepz's place.... well, the planned overnight wasn't pursued because ate thine can't come and ate eu's in doubt... haha... kung 2 na lang kami ni ate pepz, muzta naman diba?! haha... kaya we'll schedule it some other time na lang ulit...



-Lord, after this can i have a time to refresh? or relax? or unwind? haaay... sana po talaga...-

la lang...

nakakatuwa lang at marami nang gumagamit ng blogspot ngayon...
daming new bloggers this week... -wow!-

well, kung impluwensiya namin ni mae un... galing pala namin mang-influence... haha...

kung di naman... okay lang... welcome na lang sa inyo sa blogspot...

di ako makapag-update masyado ng blog ngayon kasi dami ginagawa eh... kahit na halos sem break last week dami pa rin ginagawa... -sigh-

anyway, pag regular na ulit schedule ko makakapagblog na ulit me... saka lapit na rin naman ang tunay na sem break! haha...

salamat po sa mga patuloy na dumadaan at nagbabasa ng blog ko kahit wala namang bago...

next time popost ko na mga gusto ko ishare...

God bless sa ating lahat! ^_^

blogging again...

wahaha... at long last! my hands have landed on the laptop again... -whew- not being able to face the screen for almost 5 days was really a great achievement... and now that i'm back at blogging, i'll try not to drown everyone with my flooding posts.... haha...

what i really wanted to share:

-GMail na kami lahat! my mom made her gmail account last week i think after so many advices from our dear ampon, kuya josh...[haha!]... then last saturday, i made one for tatay per nanay's request... acc to nanay, she was persuaded to use gmail instead of yahoo mail because kuya josh told him that there are, if any, less bulk messages in gmail... ayun... her yahoo email addresses[take note: addresses!] were all flooded by tons and tons of messages... Si jerich na lang wala... haha... [siguro pag may blog na siya he'll use gmail na rin... as of now, gusto niya pagawa ng weblog at blogspot kaya lang sabi ko mas maganda if he'll make it himself... diba? hehe..]

-Welcome to the Blog Community Ate CheAnn!!!! hehe... la lang... nakakatuwa... dumadami na tayo dito... tulad nga ng sabi ni ate joi... "[ate che ann] add mo ko sa friends mo ha?!" haha

-Dami na rin gumagamit ng CBox... kaya sa mga nakashoutbox pa rin, magCbox na kayo... di na rin maview ng maayos dito samin ung shoutbox... it'll take you minutes to view shoutbox well...

*********

talking about updates... hmmm... i haven't slept a lot since friday night [friday night kasi i always sleep in the afternoon...]... haha... pero i'm amazed at how God sustains my strength...

at bakit naman ako di nakakatulog ng maayos simula biyernes ng gabi???
--biyernes: ensayo ng sayaw sa simbahan hanggang ika-siyam at kalakati ng gabi... hinintay ang mga magulang hanggang ika-labing-isa ng gabi... kumain ng hapunan sa max's hanggang ika-labindalawa ng gabi habang nakikinig sa nakabibinging awit ng isang matandang ale...ahaha... dumating sa bahay... tumingin ng mga biyahe tungong singapore, mga ika-dalawa ng umaga ay nakatulog na ako...

--sabado-linggo ng umaga: gumising ng maaga upang tumulong sa pagluluto at paglalaba ng aking nanay... nagpunta sa simbahan ikaapat ng hapon... nakinig sa mensahe mula kay ate pepz... kwentuhan at kainan mula ika-lima ng hapon [habang hinihintay ang mga sumayaw sa Angkla] hanggang ika-labing-isa ng gabi [habang hinihintay dumating si Ate Pepz]... ensayo mula ika-labing isa ng gabi hanggang ika-tatlo at kalahati ng umaga... naligo habang ang karamihan ay tulog... nakinig sa mensahe sa unang worship service [ano tagalog nito? =)] ganap na ika-lima ng umaga...

--linggo: sumayaw sa ikalawang worship service... di pa antok kaya kumain muna ng agahan habang ang karamihan ay nakinig sa mensahe... matapos kumain ay inantok na kami ng mga kasama ko kaya lang di pa kami pwede matulog dahil sasayaw pa sa ikatlong worship service... nagising ulit... di makatulog kaya kumain na ng tanghalian... nakatulog ng isang oras... ensayo na muli... sayaw na ulit sa ikaapat ng worship service...


...to be continued... hehe...

busy...

haha...
i really don't know if it's alright to say you're busy when you really are... kasi there have been series of preachings that gave an acrostic for BUSYness: Being Under Satan's Yoke... Minsan tuloy kahit gusto ko sabihin na busy ako, i use the term hectic or tight instead. kasi parang ayoko pumayag na i'm under satan's yoke...

ayun...

kaya for everyone's information, i have a quite tight schedule as of the moment... august na kasi...
church anniversary preparations, midterm exams, oral reports, completion of org requirements, preparation for allen's debut [haha!]...

kumusta naman??!

[sasabihin na naman ng classmate ko nito iniipon ko ung gusto ko sabihin... hehe...]

monday...

pauwi na ko nun... tapos na kasi T161 class namin... pagkababa ko from 2nd floor, tinanong ako ng second year rep:

"freshie ka?"

my reaction? iling ng todo... tapos lakad ng mabilis... hehe... [nagmamadali na kasi ko umuwi kasi malamang almost 4pm na... ayoko naman maabutan ng congestion [traffic] sa bacoor... haha...] election kasi for 1st yr rep... ayun...

tapos parang sinabi pa niya sa mga kasama niya...

"ahh.. freshie last year..."

freshie last year???!!! hala... ayun na ba epekto ng pagsuot ng headband??? napapagkamalan kang freshie??? hehe...

thank God it's Friday!

la lang... i'm just excited that it's friday again...

well, i just feel so grateful at how God sustained me for the week... i couldn't imagine that i'm done with my case study on nurture spa [for my T153]... nakapagLQ1 na rin kami kanina sa T181...

wow... way to go... thanks Lord! konti na lang... haha... region4A report na lang for T114, long exams sa T131 at T161... whew... atleast, 2 down na ako...

now that it's friday, i'm glad 'coz...

-i get to sleep longer pag friday night... and kahit maraming assignments, nakakapag-open pa rin ako ng blog...

-and i can go to church na rin tomorrow... [wow... i haven't been to COG since monday...] hmmm... i just feel so excited to meet my co-dancers and youth friends. meeting them encourages me a lot.

haay... di ko rin naman kasi sure if i can dance on sunday... i still have to ask God...

but friday's still a rest day for me... hehe...

[wednesday actually ang pinaka-"day of rest" for me... kaya lang lately dami ko ginagawa on wednesdays...]

buti na lang...

buti na lang God has been controlling me today... nakakatuwa kasi when you commit yourself to Him, parang kahit magulo ung nangyayari sa paligid mo, you still feel at peace... ^_^

3:15 am my usual waking up time on TF's... had to prepare for my 7am class kase
i had my devotion first... [way of confessing na rin na hindi ako masyado naging consistent sa devotion nitong mga nakaraang araw]

4 am natapos ako magdevotion... took a bath... dressed up

4:30 am ginising si nanay... sabi nya maaga pa kaya natulog ulit sya...
opened the laptop to finish my assignment in T181..

5 am di pa rin ako tapos sa assignment... pero di ko rin naman sure kung ipapasa na talaga un... hehe... but i still tried to finish it....

5:20 am di pa rin tapos... but i decided to leave the house na... kasi baka malate naman ako sa 7am class ko...

5:30 am punuan na ang mga bus... medyo hirap na sumakay... but i still got a seat...

6:45 am oh my... mrt pasay pa lang ako... but i just could feel the peace of God within me...

7:25 am arrived at AIT... haha... nakasabay ko si reg paakyat... nung nasa 2nd floor na kami, nasa labas na ung iba namin classmates... aun pala wala pa prof namin... hehe... kaya pala Lord... ^_^

okei na rin... atleast nakarest pa ko before our 8:30 class began...

8:30 am dumating na prof ko sa tourism promotions[T153]... announcement ng course project related to medical tourism...tapos recall lang nung past lessons... pakita ng iba't ibang newspaper ads... discuss discuss.. tapos dismiss na...

10 am MICE management[T126]. same prof... eto medyo boring talaga 'tong timeslot na 'to... announcement ng OCLA on sept8, phil travel mart... lecture lecture... discuss discuss... tapos announcement ng course project [same 'to nung sa previous class.. joint project kasi..]... ayun... late tuloy nagdismiss ng class... but thank God di ako inantok... for the first time i survived both T153 and T126... haha...

11:35 am went straight to the library to finish my T181 assignment... naabutan ako ng lunch break so i had to wait for the librarian to come back... pero no worries pa rin...

12 noon naglunch muna kami ni cristle... i ate my fave meal... oatmeal COOKIE [all caps kasi gigantic ung cookies dun eh] and a bottle of mineral water

1 pm bumalik kami sa lib to print my assignment... bait ni mam ping... kahit di pa sila officially bukas pinayagan na ko magprint... hehe

1:10 pm pagdating namin sa classroom... sakto dumating ung prof... wow Lord... if we were just a minute late... mauunahan na kami dumating ng prof...

my class ended... received txt messages from ate weng... papunta rin pala siya UP... sayang di kami nag-abot... next time...

4 pm met nanay and tatay at glorietta... bought nyfd fries for merienda... headed home... kung saan saan kami dumaan para iwasan ang "congestion" [sa pinas, ang tawag jan... traffic... ^_^]

6 pm got home... dont feel that good... took a nap

6:30 pm my cousin woke me up... start na daw ng bday celebration ni tita ko... kaya aun... e ate dinner [i ate potato salad, fresh green salad and fried chicken]...
had some conversation... something happened... pero buti na lang... i know God is there to tame my emotions... di ako masyado affected sa mga narinig ko... although i felt bad to see my nanay and feel how she was feeling or might have felt that time...
nung tapos na usap usap, i went back home... then i started to IM.... tapos nagblog...

hmmm... first time ko lang yata ginawa 'to... ang magkuwento ng nangyari sa maghapon ko... ang gusto ko lang naman ipatotoo ay ang kabutihan ng Panginoon... ako ay nalulugod na patuloy kong nakikita ang pagkilos ng Panginoon sa buhay ko... gusto ko magpasalamat sa Kanya sa patuloy na paghugis Niya ng aking ugali at asal... para sa kaluwalhatian Niya...

bago ako matulog, nais kong humingi ng pasasalamat sa aking Amang nasa langit... nais kong papurihan ang aking Diyos... Siya ay buhay, tunay at tapat... Siya lamang ang makapagbibigay ng tunay na kapahingahan sa mga napapagod... at ng kapayapaan sa mga nababahala...

nagpapasalamat din ako sa Kanya dahil niregaluhan Niya ako ulit ng ulan ngayon... hehe... ayun...

good night! ^_^

18...

okay...

i'm 18...

and i know i'm blessed...
more than blessed...


i thank God for the 17 years that had passed... these were no easy years... but more of trimming and molding and heating and serving for His glory... now that i'm 18, i dont really plan to do anything new... maybe do more for Him and fall deeper in love with Him... but i still don't feel anything new with being 18... [hmm... except that i'm not a minor anymore... haha... major na! hehe.. -yipee! makakaboto na rin next time... haha...-]


i'll be celebrating my debut this evening.. they ask me if i'm excited... well, i dont know...

what shall i say? -smile na lang ako...- hehe...

Lord, i want to be with You all throughout the day... i may not be able to attend the Transformation and Revival Seminar but i still believe You can still empower me... and inspire me... and fill me with Your Spirit... kahit di ako maka-attend... please dont let me feel guilty... please Lord...

okay.. guess i have to end my post here... so long! still have lots to do... di pa kami tapos magprepare eh.. hehe... ^_^

june 29...

whaaaaa... in less than 24 hours... i'll be turning 18...

i don't if there's anything new with being a year older... right now... what i can is...
please help me get excited for that day... prepare me Lord... hooh...

as of now... i dont exactly know how i should respond to what i feel... to what i am going through... i need God's direction...

time...

...feel like it's too early to post... but this is the only time i have...

---kettle whistles---

---cellphone alarms for 15 minutes already---

---still more to research---

>>> whew.... i'd rather not speak for now...

haha.. seems like my mom's immune to my cellphone alarm tone already... kasi di na siya nagigising sa alarm...

busy?

not so...

God is just teaching me patience...
He teaches me how to prioritize things...

...and...

i'm grateful that God is not finished with me yet...

haha..




----------------------------------

para medyo makarelate naman ang mga bumabasa ng blog ko... here's a glimpse of my story...

today is our first day of enrollment... as i was thinking about the enrollment stuff yesterday, i feel like i wasn't in the mood yet of going to UP to register... [napakahabang proseso kasi ng pagpapatala sa sangkaUPhan eh]...

tapos ayun... nakakatuwa... coz i was able to prepare myself for the worst things might happen during the enlistment proces... as usual, di pa rin ako tapos magpaenlist... but anyway... i have already expected this will happen... unlike what they did to us last summer....

hmmm... and i better forget about that summer experience as the worst thing that's happened in my summer... instead think of it as God's way of stretching my patience... ^_^

whaaa... patience is a virtue.... ^_^

my day...

yesterday... i was grateful that God gave us a material on servant-leadership... grabe... it's not easy to be a servant-leader... but Lord, how i desire to be one... at the end of our discussion... on a scale of 1-10 [where 10 is the highest and 1 is the least] feeling ko nasa 2 lang ako... huhu...

1:30p na kami nagising ng cousins ko... after namin paglamayan ang giveaways for my debut... haha... but it was very fun to be with them again... ^_^ namiss ko kasi ung bonding namin when we were still in high school...



[to be continued...]

prioritize!

much as i want to, couldn't post new stuffs here for the moment... i need to finish more important things first...

kaya para sa mga nag-aabang ng part 4 ng greenwoods... at ng pics last sunday sa special number... be patient... haha... matatagalan pa ng konti...

[besides, di ko pa rin lam kung nasan ba ung digicam namin... haha...]
