In my 28 years here on earth,my life is determined mainly by my family and friends. The string of events in my day to day life consists of encouters of people literally from all walks of life to additional members of my growing family. They are eminent fixtures that made me what I am today.Most of them inspires me,some of them keeps me grounded and a few builds my virtue of patience and charity.

Kudos to all my family and friends! Here are 28 "Thank Yous" for being part of who I am today and what I will become in the succeeding years of my life.

Just came back from Cebu! I'm in love with it! pwede na ako maging cebuana..hahaha

1. I spotted 3 pawikans during our dive at moal boal!...yay!
2. The foooood!!! never ending food binge!
3. Super ferry talagang trip kita!
4. Marine sanctuary- still the best! babaliakan kita!
5. Basdaku,moal boal white beach
6. Conching's native chicken-lami ka ayu!
7. many realizations..again!

Thoughts and realizations this April 2006:

1. Learning to say NO is hard,but sometimes I just have to.
2. Life is how you make it,to be on top and be in control of your life feels really good.
3. Not to care much of what other people think about me,most of the time, they don't notice me anyway,it's all just in my imagination.
4. To enjoy little things in life,like eating a bag of buttered popcorn
5. To do what i want to do not because other people told me so.
6. Even the "baddest" person has a good side in them.
7. To pursue an impossible dream: it takes a lot of guts and determination,but is very worthwhile.
8. To cherish old and new friends because they are part of who I am right now.

I can't believe that May is fast approaching! in 2 months time I'll be leaving for Spain! I still have papers to process,projects to finish and matters to end!

I'm cramming all my activites in 2 months! cebu next week,batangas the next week then Caramoan the week after the Batangas weekend! then comes my birthday! the most dreaded day of the year,and maybe many despedida from different group of friends! Such an exciting year....to top it off...................I'M INSPIRED!

that's what you call LIFE baby!!

glowing

I'm inspired,i'm inspired,i'm inspired that i'm glowing!!! it's been quite awhile since i felt this way. Boy oh Boy oh Boy!!!!

keeping my fingers crossed,my toes,my arms my legs!!!

See the Light

I see the light now.

I have already decided on some major issues that involves a lot of life planning and target goals. It's somewhat complicated but with the determination I have right now, i'm getting there. I'm so looking forward to it that nothing could keep me down. Bad events..... they are just my spices that keep these goals alive, which is good. If there's no challenge,things are just not worth pursuing.

Monday: April 8- I'm off to Cebu, Moal Boal............2 days of diving. "swell"

Pinatubo

looooooooooooook! what I found. This is a photo of our Mt Pinatubo adventure! Brought back again fun memories I had during last year's summer escapades! In the photo: bernard,bonnie,eric and me!!! We camped out under the stars!!!!!!!!! no water but the batis, no bathroom,just the ground, no electricity,just the stars,no house,just tents...

ang saya!

waiting for soon

Yesterday,my guts fell to the ground,my heart enlarged,my blood drained,swallowed my tonsils and my vision went black!!............The client was mad,angel and elly were in great panic,I was......dead cold!!! We overlooked a "big" craft event,so I have to prepare something for 35 kids in 5 mins!

Thanks susie and Rolen! they saw me through the whole panic mode! wow! susie was actually directing what to get and what to buy! Boy! when I think about this,I could feel my knees shaking!! but it ended quite well. " sigh "

Next week...Will be on my way to Cebu,will go diving in Moal Boal.........I need to get out more often the busier i'll be the better!

May 6 i will go to Caramoan! "snicker!"
