Happy birthday Ei!

Thank for the treat, Ei! We love you!

(We call each other Triso not because we were born with chromosomal abberations. We're called Triso because we're weird when we're all together. And that's not a bad thing. This group showed me that being weird is good because it means you're courageous enough to show people how insane you really are deep inside.)

*Labor dance*

Happy birthday Ria!

"I will marry you so I dont have to miss you"

Ria baby!!! i love you to death. And you deserve to have the best in the world coz you're such a great friend. You've always been there for me and i love how even if we have different barakadas we still keep our friendship going!

Happy birthday! *hug*

tell the world of His love

Pat, Aya, J, and I went to High Street on Wednesday to take part in the Walkway: Reflections on the Stations of the Cross - "It is an interpretation of the age-old Christian tradition . There are fourteen interactive stations that are based on Matthew, Mark, Luke and John are set up throughout the mall grounds to hopefully bring fresh insight to the events surrounding Christ's death and resurrection."

On a hill in the outskirts of Palestine, history was marked by an event so powerful that it changed the world.

To some, the event does nothing more than mark time. But to millions all over the world, it is the epicenter of God's demonstration of unconditional love for humanity.

Here are some excerpts from the walkway.

Station 1 : The Garden

"...He didn't because He saw you. Right there in the middle of a world that isn't fair. He saw you
betrayed by those you love -- in your own garden of gnarled trees and sleeping friends. He saw you, and He didn't want you to be alone.

He had made His decision. He would rather go to hell for you than go to heaven without you."

Station 2: The Betrayal (Jesus is Betrayed by Judas)

"Jesus, on the other hand, lets us know how much God values man --yes, even those who betray
him...If you still doubt how much you are worth to God, Jesus' sacrifice settles the question once and for all."

Station 3: The Trial (Jesus before the Sanhedrin)
"...all the principles of justice they affirmed and implemented were scrapped. They breached all their standards to condemn the one innocent man who ever lived."
Station 4 : Jesus is judged by Pilate

Sttaion 5: The whip (Jesus is scorged)

The prophet Isaiah, foretelling the torture of the
Jesus, tells us,
But he was pierced for our rebellion,
Crushed for our sins,
He was beaten so we could be whole.
He was whipped so we could be healed.

Station 6: The curse (Jesus is crowned with Thorns)

"Because thorns are the fruit of sin, then we only need to step in to humanity's prickly patch to feel a few thistles: Shame...Discouragement. Anxiety...."


Station 7: The Cross (Jesus carries His cross)

"The journey to the cross began long before. As the echo of the crunshing of the fruit was still
sounding in the Garden of Eden. Jesus was leaving for Cavalry."


Station 8: The Two Simons

Station 9: The crucifixion (Jesus is crucified)
Why choose such a horrible death? why would God allow His only son to experience what is probably the most gruesome way to die in all of human history?The sacrifice ion the cross reveals how repulsive sin really is. But it also shows us the awesome
magnitude of God's live. God put you din on his Son and punished it there, so that you would be
free. why? for moral duty? Heavenly obligation? paternal requirement? No. Go is required to do
nothing.

John 3:16 reads that, "God so LOVED the world, that He gave his only son."

The motivation was love. The motivation was you.

Station 10: The Mother (Jesus entrusts Mary to John)

Station 11: The promise ( Jesus Promises Paradise to the Repentant Thief)
"We are punished justly, for we are getting what our deeds deserve/ But this man has done nothing wrong. Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom."

...And when one prayed to him, Jesus loved him enough to save him. And when the other mocked , Jesus loved him enough to let him. He allowed him the choice, He does the same for you.Station 12: The darkness (Jesus Dies)

The darkness of Good Friday seems real/ It seems permanent. most of all it seems to contradict the promise of Jesus when he said, "I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light if life."
"SEEMS" is the operative word.

Station 13: The cloth (Jesus Rises)
"...when the final piece of job had been completed, the carpenter would typically fold a towel neatly in half and set it on the finished work and walk away. On the first day of Easter, Peter crouched in to look into an empty tomb. He saw only the linens that Jesus had left behind. Imagine that a smile crossed Peter's face as sorrow was replaced by hope...The carpenter had left behind a simple message.



Station 14: Remembering Jesus


The walkway was an inspiring experience for me. It truly reminded me not only of Jesus' Love for all of us but also the times when i neglected Him...when everything just seems nothing and unreal. Nowadays, if not all then most of us only remember God during Holy Week because only then do we see the sacrifices of Jesus. It is only the time when we actually visit churches, it is only the time when we remember our sins, it is only the time when we realize our mistakes. And I'm guilty of this. I know that after a while all the reflections will pass and that everything I hoped to change will never happen. I try every year to follow His examples and be a service to other people...to be selfless, to learn to love those who hate, to understand the meaning of sacrifice. However, I still forget Him and ignore Him....and it pains me to remember those times when i did because i know that i could've prevented myself from neglecting Him. And with this, I ask for forgiveness to the Man who loved me more than anyone else in the world.

"He would rather go to hell for you than go to heaven without you"

Bianca's Christmas party

It's the second year of Bianca's annual Christmas party at mcdo, Ayala Alabang and my sister invited me to go so i went! It was only for two hours but it was great fun! I really admire Bianca Gonzales for doing things like this, i hope other artists are giving also for Christmas......WE SHOULD ALL GIVE. :)

My Kid Partner, Gerald!

Dro, Bianca, ate Venice and me

Christmas 09

The only thing i really want for Christmas is celebrating it with my whole family like..5 years ago? I'm not exactly sure but that's the last Christmas i celebrated it with a complete family. You see, my dad's a mariner and he's tied with the contract so he can't always go home for Christmas. It's really sad. But at least my brother's here. I really hope that next year we can celebrate it with my dad. I really miss him and Holidays without him isn't really fun. It's like when you were still a kid and you would hang your socks near your bed or on your staircase hoping to receive gifts from Santa Claus and you wake up early the next day realizing that the socks are still empty. yeah, It's pretty much like that *sigh*. However, there were still a lot of things that i was happy about this Chritsmas like Nolan coming home from Afghanistan. He's a marine and he goes to all these dangerous places and yeah you know, war..so I'm really happy that we got to see him. He's so batak! haha. And of course, like everyone who goes abroad, the first thing they miss about the Philippines is Jollibee. I remembered my brother who ordered 3 jolly Spaghetti when he came back from Australia and kuya yuya who got a 2 piece chicken meal and one Spag. when he arrived here from Japan. Nolan, on the other hand, got a BUCKET of chicken and he ate all of 'em. and for the record, he wasn't satisfied...he wanted more! :)) Another thing that i was so excited about is my cousins whom i didn't get to see last Christmas, had their Christmas vacation here at our house. Tita Lita came home as well from Japan. I'm hella glad to see these people and with all of 'em present, the house became a Home again. Yeap! with the tong-its, 123 pass, lucky 9 and pusoy dos sessions! Eating sardines for lunch and our all nighters! Going to MOA for no reason, DVD marathons and walang katapusan na kainan. Merry Christmas! :)

Septemeber 18, 2009. JOhn invited us to go to Hospicio de San Jose to donate basic needs to the lolos and lolas there. Instead of having a party for his 18th birthday, John decided to give and help the abandoned elders in hospicio, which was very admirable!!! :> Thanks John!

Di na 'ko papayag mawala ka muli.

'Di na 'ko papayag na muli mabawi,

Ating kalayaan kay tagal natin mithi.

'Di na papayagang mabawi muli.



Magkakapit-bisig libo-libong tao.

Kay sarap palang maging Pilipino.

Sama-sama iisa ang adhikain.

Kelan man 'di na paalipin.

Handog ng Pilipino sa mundo,

Mapayapang paraang pagbabago.

Katotohanan, kalayaan, katarungan

Ay kayang makamit na walang dahas.

Basta't magkaisa tayong lahat.

(Mag sama-sama tayo, ikaw at ako)

I never really realized how important you are to our country until God took you back. At 5:00pm yesterday, I went to Sucat road to watch the cortege. I waited there for almost three hours and during those hours, i realized how great of a person you are. The people were standing there for 8 hours just to see you for the very last time, they shouted your name, wore yellow shirts, brought with them confetti, and untiringly shouted LABAN!. I witnessed 'history' unfold and it was LEGENDARY. Also, while i was watching the eulogies on TV, I realized how simple and humble you are. You were a true servant leader: You never wished to be served but you placed yourself in the service of the Filipinos. YOU ARE AWESOME.

Thank you for being the light of our nation, thank you for bringing democracy back to the Philippines...thank you for showing us the courage to fight for what is right and good....your legacy will live on, you will forever be in our hearts.

You are the number one reason why I am proud to be a Filipino.

Thank you and goodbye.

* BTW, i salute to the four soldiers standing beside the coffin for 8 hours. That's no joke.

RTRMS-MMC orientation!

We had our orientation in the Church of God :D

It was fun! Sort of like AC orientation, you know...with the rules, faculty, staff, organizations, and some presentation from the orgs. Then after lunch, we had a tour around the school. Very small, I tell you :)) but it seems fun :D atmosphere was good, the people there reminds me of my elementary days coz I haven't been around people who talk tagalog that much. It's good to enter that world again...I think I can be myself here and be comfortable. NOt that I wasn't me in AC. hahha It's just that...wala lang, cool ehh :)). AC was a totally different world and I was freakin' able to adjust so I guess I can do it here also! haha. So there are only around technically 5 floors of the school (3 from the main building and two in the other building. the last floor is only a library.( You see how small it is?!. lol. plus the hospital...but since we're still in first year, we don't go to the hospital that much. And I'm familiar na rin naman with the hospital since I sort of 'grew up' there. :D MMC is still home, even if my mom doeSn't work there anymore! and it'll still be the best hospital for me :D I was with my dad by the way :)) father-daughter bonding :)) lol

Parents asked (including my dad) why we have a nihingo subject. The Dean said, it's because of something... international competitiveness and cultural experience (whutts) basta there.. yeah :)) I'm okay with it. I like japan :P But the dean also said that, they had to choose between Spanish and Japanese. She told us that Japanese is more practical. I really wanted SPANISH!!! :| oh well. haha.

The students who toured us were really cool. I don't know how to spell their names but they're Reiko and lizelle (basta, the pronunciation is like that :))) Thanks you guys! Their advices were pretty funny...and yes I shall follow! :DOh yeah! elevators were super full!! we almost used the stairs from the second floor up to the 9th hhaha. BUti na lang hindi, although it was fine for me coz when my mom worked there, i never used the elevators when i'm alone!!! :)) lol. I like the exercise :P. Some groups did, hahah when they got out of the exit it's like they just finished a marathon :)).

Oh my... I really wanna study anatomy already!!! They say a lot of people really fail but you just have to really study and pass. OKay!!! i'm so ready :))

One of their speakers...a graduate of mmc..told us that she was forced into taking nursing. She actually wanted to take law. But she told us that..if you're forced (which I am, btw) you just have to plunge into it and you'll prolly love it. It's a roller coaster ride (she didn't use that word, forgot na her exact words basta it's sorta like that). She gave us advices...like time mangaement and she also told us that it can get really really really toxic in nursing..Like sometimes, you don't know what to do first and you have a lot of things to pass and your sched is tight bla bla. I think I'm ready for that :)) Y'know...AC kinda prepared us for that (naks! proud..yan ehhh). But I don't really know..baka mamaya sangkatutak pala yung homeworks na tipong mamatay ka na! lol. hahah But hell! whatever I'm so freakin' ready!!! :))

Wi-fi everywhere!

So far so good! :D i can do it! POSITIVITY :d

Change of scheds. Imma post it tom..Totally different from the previous one. The new one is like horrifying to look at!! lol. It's crazy, think i'm gonna die :))

There should always be a PACQUIAO game.

Pacman's game against Hatton was the first ever boxing match I watched on TV. It was woah pero bitin :)) Boxing's awesome pala, haha. Galing ehh, round 2 pa lang bagsak na kaagad si hatton.

What I really love about the game was that it really brought the filipino community together. Before I thought that they were just exxagerating about the whole 'no crime' and 'the whole world is watching' thing...Now i know (you know?! haha) that they weren't lying. Whenever there's a pacquiao game, there really is no crime in the country. I was watching football last night and then during the break there was sort of like a breaking news about the pacquiao-hatton match. The reporter said something like Pacman really is a national hero. Honestly, i never really considered him as a hero but after everything that happened yesterday and all those articles i read in the newspaper and stuff i heard on the radio...I think i'm starting to understand the reason behind the whole 'hero' thing. Hero prolly in a way that his match was able to unite the filipinos all around the world, there was no crime reported (he's now called the crime buster), and it brought peace even for just a day. He showed that the Philippines still has something to show and that we don't just give up easily. :)

*Liverpool won against newcastle 3-0. Wasn't really a good game, i didn't feel newcastle. Torres didn't play coz of his injury and Gerrard's back in the game! yehey! The title race is still alive :P*
*Can't wait for Champions League Roma Finale '09!!!!!!!!!! :)

Coz I'm turning into a football freak

Fulham 0-1 Liverpool

"Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez looked like becoming the latest Big Four manager to fall to the curse of the Cottage.

Then up popped substitute Yossi Benayoun, four minutes into injury time, to smash a right-foot shot past Fulham goalkeeper Mark Schwarzer to send Liverpool the top of the Premier League."

(http://espnstar.com/football/premier-league/news/detail/item237984/The-BPL-Saturday-Review/)

I stayed up til 3am last night watching the game in star sports. At first I thought Liverpool could easily goal against fulham but i was so wrong. Last 20 minutes of the game I was already losing hope but thanks to the sub Benayoun who made a goal during stoppage time, liverpool was able to win. Dossena and Dirk Kuyt were replaced by Babel and Benayoun during the last 20 minutes of the game. I thought that was a wrong move by Benitez because Dossena and Kuyt are really good players but the goal made at stoppage-time showed that it was a wise decision. :)
Liverpool's game was really superb! They were just all pumped up and ready to win. Torres, Alonso, Dossena all hit the bar during the first half. They deserved it since they dominated the game :).
They're now on top of the premier league and let's hope they stay there. :) Aston Villa, please win :)
