We only part to meet again. :')

“We only part to meet again,” a saying from John Gay that I really appreciate (most especially when times like this). Ask why? Haha. Well. Let me dig it from the start. ~

After I graduated from elementary, I transferred to another school to continue my high school education. Being a transferee and a late enrollee in that school, it was a bit awkward at first. But as time passed.. passed.. and passed, I got acquainted with my classmates and soon became very comfortable with their company.

I spent the 1st year up to the 4th year of my high school being in the first section. Diamond.. Topaz.. Jade.. and then Aquamarine.. In every new school year, the faces I see was still those I saw the last school year. In other words, I have been sitting, chatting, eating, taking quizzes, etc with almost the same persons everyday for four years. Four years is not just four years. For me, it is indeed something.

Admit it. I won’t deny that during the first 2 years of our high school, our bonding was not really that close. It wasn’t until we became pupils of III-Jade. That was a very crucial period of our time. That was the time when we knew so much about each other, and ourselves as well; and as they say it, maybe it was the start of being in an “identity crisis”.

Expect more when we reached our senior year in high school. Our LAST year in high school. Maraming nagbago sa amin. We became more mature in every aspect. We became more responsible; and one thing, we had a better unity. Yes. I can prove so dahil sobrang dami ng pagsubok ang dumaan na sa amin, but we still remained unmoved by those. I want to share every inch of memory and experience I had with them. Pero I know I can’t dahil sobrang dami. Basta ang alam ko, I will always keep in mind and carry with me all of those memories. Hinding-hindi ko makakalimutan yung mga pagmumuka nila. Yung boses nila. Yung amoy nila. Yung kakulitan nila. Yung mga kalokohan nila. Never.

I am very very grateful for having friends like them. They are the bestest of the best friends you will able to meet. Walang sinuman ang makakapantay sa pagkakaibigan naming Aquamarine. Wala talaga. Belat.

Dati hindi ako naniniwala sa sinasabi nilang highschool life is the happiest e. Sabi ko, anu naman ang masaya dito e nandito ang lahat ng klase ng gawain, simula sa homework hanggang sa thesis, at naririto ang lahat ng pressure.

Pero as time passed, at napalapit ako sa bawat isa sa kanila. I realized I was wrong. High school life, as they have said, is indeed the happiest. Balewala pala ang lahat ng pagod at hirap; dugo at pawis na nilaan para lang makapasa o makagraduate kapag nasa tabi mo ang mga totoong kaibigan mo. Take it from my mouth. Totoo yun.

Nakakalungkot lang isipin na talagang “all things come to an end”. Masakit yung realidad na pag napamahal ka na sa isang tao, iiwan ka talaga niya sa bandang huli. Why? Not because they want to, but they HAVE TO.

Walang halong kakornihan at kadramahan, pero kasi napamahal na talaga ko sa Aquamarine na yan. We could hardly believe na gagraduate na kami bukas; and after that @#$%^ ceremony, hindi na kami magkakaklase, and we won’t share the day and the same old classroom together. Hahahaha. I said I won’t cry. Nakareserba yung luha ko para bukas e. LOL hahaha can’t resist X’D

I LOVE YOU AQUA.

I mean it. And I will miss you so much. Mamimiss talaga. Mahal na mahal ko kayo. Kung pwede nga lang kayo ipasok sa bag ko para lagi ko kayong kasama, matagal ko ng ginawa e. Bakit nyo ba kasi ako iiwan? Waaaa. I hate this feeling. I think I’ll die of depression right now.

Eh kung wag na lang tayo umattend ng graduation tomorrow? Nang sa gayon, we’re still classmates! Forever! Yay! Yay! Baka kasi mamiss ko kayo ng bongga e. Baka maiyak ako. Eh ayaw ko kasi umiyak e.

Hmm.

Nga pala. Sorry kung minsan hindi nyo ako naintindihan o may hindi kayo nagustuhan sa mga inaasal ko ha? Ganun lang talaga. Wala naman sating perfect.

Thank you naman dahil sa kabila ng lahat ng pagkukulang at pagkakamali, pinilit nyo naman akong intindihin.

The return makes one love the farewell. Kaya naman, magiging masaya lang ako kung ippromise nyo sa akin na we will never forget each other. Oh, that means, you should be happy too, kasi wala naman talaga akong balak na kalimutan kayo.
I should prevent myself from crying.. So for now, I think that’s all I can say. Goodluck sa atin bukas. Don’t forget your hankies. Haha.

Congratulations Aquamarine.

Advance Babay.

I love you all so much. :’)

My 16th Bornday. :)

It was a Sunday morning when I woke up early and was so surprised to see lots of unread messages on my phone. I eagerly read each of them and realized (almost forgotten ^^) that it was January 24. I stood up then and made my bed immediately, took a bath, and dressed up for I was supposed to meet my friends that day. But unfortunately, this hasn’t happened ‘coz my friends didn’t made it, may kanya-kanya kasi silang alibi, (hahaha kidding ). Well, except for Hannie. She has managed to accompany me.. Sooo.. We went to Alabang.. Then, as we arrived, we felt so famished na talaga and decided to eat at Sbarro. Haha. I ordered a chicken meal, while hers is a slice of a hawaiian pizza (if im not mistaken), and two plates of baked ziti in white sauce. Sa kanya topped with meatballs, sa’kin naman chicken. I had a lemonade, while hers a raspberry juice. (yummy! ;p)

After eating, we went to Power Mac Centre. Parang naulit lang yung ginawa namin noon sa ATC, nag-try kami ulit ng mga laptops and notebooks na tinitinda ‘don, hehe.. Our favorite was the Photo Booth App on MacBook, yung pwede ka mag-take ng photos through its built-in cam..

Ang gulo-gulo namin dun, tawa kami ng tawa dun sa may parang face warp eh, haha! Kasi naman.. Oh tignan nyo. Haha! :]]

Pero umalis na rin kami dun kasi, may nanonood sa amin. Isang employee siguro dun sa PowerMac, basta, kinocontrol nya kasi yung computer hanggang sa shinut-down niya eh.. Siguro nakukulitan o naiingayan na sa amin.. Ayun. Tapos napadaan kami sa Blue Magic, where Hannie gave me Genevevieve, her surprise present. :]] Wee! Then we went na to Tom’s World, rode their mini rollercoaster, and played some games such as that with the guitar, Dance Revo, car racing, and so on. We rested and ate for a while before heading to Clipper.

(( Oh, check out these cutie sushi & maki face towels from Clipper. C-O-O-L. Haha! Those creative Japanese. :] ))

THEN. As we got bored, we went to several music stores, and found this really cute toy piano!

After that, we both felt the urge of eating ice cream, so we headed to Dairy Queen to eat Blizzard. Sa akin Rocky Road, kay Hannie naman Cookies n’ Cream. Masaya yung pagpunta namin doon eh, kasi before kami umalis dun, Hannie had mentioned to the ‘ice cream makers’ of DQ na birthday ko. So, they sang Happy Birthday throuth the mic, (where they were supposed to carry on orders). Hannie and I was so happy with the Blizzard, (and with the hospitality), so we went home happy too. :]]

So. That’s how I spent my sixteenth birthday. :)

Ha-ha. :D

By the way, here are some more of the captured moments:

Thaaaanks for reading, people! :))

See you on my next post, hoho! :DD

ALL THiNGS COME TO AN END.

If there is one person I could associate with the words high school, love, closeness, relationship, and memories, the best choice could only be one, and that would me my ex-boyfriend. We met and knew each other when I transferred to their school and we became classmates. Actually ‘di ko pinapansin ung mga boys ng klase noon, I am more interested on the girls kase they’re so friendly and hospitable, sila yung unang nagaaproach since I am a transferee. We only noticed each other nung time na nagbreak kami ng ex ko that time, he tried to comfort me tapos manliligaw lang pala. Haha. Ang nakakainis lang kasi a month or so, I accepted na his panliligaw, (and that was December 6, 2008) (anyway I’m only 13 lang ata that time, wala pang isip! Haha XD) eh I hate pa nman girls na easy to get. Easy to get, I mean those who give themselves up to their suitors after days or weeks. Well, that doesn’t matter anyway. :)

I am very forgetful/ulyanin so I really can’t tell you everything that happened between us when we’re still together. Basta if I am not mistaken, we lasted for exactly 1 year , 7 months and 9 and a half days. Oh diba. Hehe. Habang nagkakaisip kami at tinubuan na ng kung anu-ano sa katawan, kami parin. He knows every inch of me, and so do I. Noon, lahat ng problema ko, sya at sya ang unang nilalapitan ko, I think naman ganun din sya sa akin. Gusto ko kasi yung relationship na laging nagtutulungan at nagdadamayan. We knew all the secrets of each other, walang hiyaan, walang naglilihim. In short, we’re very close, kaya open kami sa isa’t isa. Hehehe. We became very comfortable with each other, yung tipong parang twins na kami, not to mention LAGI pa kaming magkasama, take note, lagi. As in alwaaays. Kasi we enjoyed the company of each other. Our relationship was very ideal that time. Legal kami sa mom ko at sa dad nya, legal kami sa mata ng buong school, from the faculty, down to the teachers, cashiers, and janitors at sa mga malalapit naming kaibigan. Hindi ko na nga mabilang kung ilan na ang nakapagsabi sa’min na bagay daw kami at okay kami mgkasama, parang mag-asawa na daw kami kasi nakikita nila kung paano naming alagaan at mahalin yung isa’t-isa Pero syempre, marami muna kaming pinagdaanang hirap bago namin narating yung ganoong state. Nandyan yung kung anu-ano yung sinasabi tungkol sa amin, at nandyan din yung mga taong sinusubukan kung gaano ba kami katatag. Kinaya namin yun, pero minsan talaga sumusuko na ang isang tao kapag hindi na tama. Kung memories naman ang pag-uusapan, marami kami nyan! Yun yung mga bagay na hindi ko na yata makakalimutan kahit kailan despite my ulyaniness. Hehe. Dun tayo sa happy, ano kasi, parang tuwing kasama ko naman xa nun happy ako eh, kahit yung mga ginagawa namin monotonous. For example, kapag dismissal, maglalakad na kami nyan papuntang labasan, tapos pupunta kaming Mighty Mart, pag nandun na, paikot-ikot lang kami dun hangang magdilim na sa labas, tapos paglabas namin, ang laman lang ng hawak kong plastic eh isang VCut na blue at isang tubig kaya. Hehehe. Tapos uupo na kami sa Police Station (nung ginagawa pa lang), o kaya dun sa my mga halaman sa tapat ng bilyaran malapit sa Jolibee J. Kakain ako dun habang nagkekwentuhan kami, kung tatanungin mo naman ako bakit ako lang ung kumakain eh kasi, kapag inaalok ko ‘yun, tatanggi lang yun tapos sasabihin, “ba’t gustung-gusto mo yan? ang alat-alat nyan eh..” kaya yun. Hehehe. Pagkakain, pupunta na dun sa sakayan ng jeep para ihatid ako, (sa may traffic Light ata yun, sa may tindahan ng goto at adobong mani kung minsan, ahehe :p). Yun, palagi lang kaming ganun pero nageenjoy kami, kasi di naman sya nagreklamo kahit minsan eh. Hehe. Isa palang yun sa napakaraming happy memories e.. Di ko na lang po ikekwento yung sad, kasi happy mood ko ngayon eh, baka masira pa, hehe. Basta like other relationships, after the good and all of the happiness and memories, syempre, we also came to an end. We all know nman na bihira lang ang lasting na relationship nowadays, especially sa aming teens, right? Besides, we’re still very young. Marami pang chances and opportunities na mamee-meet hangga’t nabubuhay tayo. Tsaka hindi naman pwedeng lagi tayong masaya di ba? Our life has always its ups and downs. No matter how happy you are today, you can never be sure of what will happen tomorrow. It’s either you’ll stay that way or you’ll go the other way around. Nalungot ako noon, kasi aminado nman akong nasaktan ako dahil nag-break kami sa isang napakababaw na reason, tsaka hindi biro ang almost 2 years naming pinagsamahan nuh. Pero, all wounds heal. Pinalakas ko lang ang loob ko kahit kung minsan gusto ko ng sumuko. Actually I was about to give up, but my friends came to the rescue. Kaya I considered this a blessing, kasi marami akong natutunan dahil dito, I knew myself better, and most of all, dito ko na-prove kung sino talaga yung mga kaibigan kong totoo sa ‘kin, at kung sino yung mga plastic at pakitang-tao lang. Madali lang naman magmove-on, pwera na lang kung minahal mo talaga yung tao tsaka kung umasa kang kayo na talaga, tulad ng ginawa ko. Hehe. Bilib nga ko sa sarili ko e, bakit? Kasi hindi biro yung araw-araw mo silang nakikita at nakakasama ng new gf nya sa iisang room. Nandyan yung magbubulag-bulagan ka, at magbibingi-bingihan. Kunwari manhid ka, pero, sa totoo lang napaka-sensitive mo talaga, at nandyan yung mararamdaman mong unti-unting nadudurog yung puso mo sa sakit. Pero, lagi kong sinasabi at pinaniniwala ang sarili ko na I am a strong woman, at ‘di ako patitinag sa mga problemang nararanasan ko. Tsaka alam kong ginagawa ‘to ni God kasi may dahilan talaga. ‘Di ba? Soo.. That’s the story. Hehehe. Now, we are both happy na. as I’ve said nga, he has his new girlfriend na, and in fact today is their monthsary. At ako nman, I’m single not double. And I’m really focusing on my studies right now, ngayon pang malapit na kami mag-college; and on my so-called “music career”, hehehe. I am preparing ulit for the next recitals. Yun lang, that’s our story, and I hope I was able to inspire you after you have read this post.

Ciao! :)

Obedience & Submission.

It is a great thing to be in obedience, to live under a superior, and give up one’s independence. It is much safer to submit to authority than to exercise it.

Many are under authority from necessity rather than love, and such people suffer misery and soon begin to complain. They will never attain freedom of mind unless they submit whole-heartedly for the sake of God. You can run from one place to another, but you can find peace only in humble submission under the direction of a superior. Many people have been deceived by fancying other places and by moving out.

Every one of us likes to do what he himself thinks is best, and we tend to side with those who agree with us. Yet if God is among us, it is sometimes necessary to abandon our conviction to keep the blessing of peace. No one is wise enough to know every detail and circumstance; so you must not rely exclusively on your own judgment but be prepared to hear what others think.

If your opinion is a valid one and, for God’s sake, yet you give it up in favor of another’s, you will make great progress by it. I have often heard it said that it is safer to listen and receive advice than to give it.

It can also happen that each man’s opinion is a sound one, but it is a sign of obstinacy and pride to be unwilling to give way to others when reasons and circumstances demand it.

Thomas A. Kempis, The Imitation of Christ

the most trustworthy person you could ever meet.

Secrets.

They have been a very big part of our everyday living. Looking on its good side, I can say that they teach us how to keep some things private, or in other words, prevent some things from spilling out.. But on the contrary, secrets can really be harmful and devastating especially when misunderstood and misinterpreted.

Well.

Everyone of us have friends.. But don’t tell me you trust them all, coz I know there’s only a friend or two whom you can always trust.. Okay. Sometimes. Haha.

They’re people too; and sometimes they could not resist the urge of telling others what you had shared to them, specifically, some of your secrets. But we can never blame them. Because we can’t deny that we also do the same. Right?

So, as a tip. If you want to share your secret(s) to someone, share it to the MOST trustworthy one — yourself. :)
