Dear....
My Bee and I watched DEAR JOHN together. We have been waiting for it to be shown in theatres and finally we were able to watch it last week. It was not what I expected it to be and I guess the book is way much better than the movie.
"No matter where you are in the world,the moon is never bigger than your thumb."

It’s Monday once again! But it’s ok because I am still on vacation. I need not to worry on waking up so early for work. Last week, I had a much needed RnR and it felt good to embrace summer with the sand on my feet, touch and dip on the clear blue water of the sea. I am not really a beach bum, not the type of person who habitually loafs or idles on beaches but I do enjoy going to the beach once in awhile. With the sweltering heat of the summer sunshine, I’d rather stay home reading books, surfing the net and lounging lazily on my bed. But my two days spent at the beach was worthwhile.
My bestfriend J and I have a lot of catching up to do. Although we live in the same small city, it is still an effort to really go out and talk about the days of our lives. I invited her and her bf on my birthday but something very urgent thing came up that they had to cancel it on the last minute. Bestfriend J finally graduated on her master’s degree and is now currently taking ph.d units. As for me, it’s still quite a long stretch but one more semester of working hard on my butt, and then I will also be receiving the hard-earned fruits of labor. Then maybe, just maybe, I will proceed right away. I should not be wasting my time since I am not getting any younger and I want to set goals for myself before I turn 30. But for the record, I’d like to believe that my STARS ARE ALIGNED right now. Everything is falling in its place and I thank God for making me a very patient person.
I will be traversing a very rough, bumpy road this year especially when both work and school start this June.I just have to keep my “I can do it” mantra to help me get by. So, it will be a year of juggling with work, studies, family/friends and love life.
Sometimes, I need to learn how to get out from my “comfort zones”.

summer nights
19th of April
@ ivy’s room
I can’t put myself to sleep. My eyes won’t shut on me although I am wishing of going to dreamland and frame those happy thoughts which are tuck from the corners of my mind and delightfully turn those happy thoughts into beautiful dreams. oh, what a night that would be! summer night, that is!
A lot of things are going on in my mind right now. I just want to be stuck on this month. I simply want to enjoy and prolong my summer break. But I am not going out of town to enjoy the sand and beaches; I am just spending my summer in my sweet Bukidnon home. My boyfriend is taking a 2 week leave from work so I guess we will spend some quality time together. But I know he will also be busy with his other projects and plans for this year so I will give him time to work on it. I am excited for our next adventure together. Going out and spending more time together draw us closer than ever. Thank you dear God for the gift of time we freely give to one another.
Hmm, another thing I desperately want to accomplish before going back to work is to lose extra unwanted pounds. Oh my, over the course of time, I accumulated ugly fats that in itself manifested in my hips and tummy. I am so so out of shape! But no, I shouldn’t be so upset, after all there is always a good way to get restarted. I can do it! More hula-hoops, crunches and less eating and food bingeing… I have to keep my eyes on the prize.
Reading and more reading! My boyfriend and I love to read books. He let me borrow two books entitled The Winning Attitude by John C. Maxwell and Rich Dad, Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki and I learned a lot of things about staying positive and some important money matters. My friend and partner in Nursery class also lend me the book When Couples Pray by Cheri Fuller and I like it.
So, this summer I am going to maximize my time trimming down, staying in good shape and reading good books. I super love summer, sans the beaches and sand this time. I can’t stand the summer heat this year.
But still hoping for cool summer nights though! :)

18th of April
I turned 26 yesterday! oh my, time flies by so fast and I am not getting any younger at all. Four more years to go and I’ll hit 30.
Anyway, yesterday was also the day I finally introduced my boyfriend to my family. We had lunch together and everything went very smoothly. I am happy that we were able to tick or mark off on a mental note the small box on our checklist; one of it is meeting my family. There’s still a long list of what to do’s this year but we’re both taking it one step at a time. We want to enjoy the journey of the unknown, we want to savor each moment as we take another step forward and we are more than willing to discover our weaknesses. He had a slice of bitters’ past and so am I. We will try to help each other in any way we can. Our relationship is still so young and needs a lot of nourishment, like a young seed that needs care and attention.
For our monthsary, we went to visit the Divine Mercy and spent most of the day just talking and strolling around and we also joined the orientation before we headed up to the very heart of the D.M. statue. Then we had dinner together and capped the day with a good movie and more talking.
oh yes, my boyfriend talks a lot. He cracks one of his silly jokes whenever I feel sad and blue and almost like a medicine pill, I regain my strength and laugh all the blues away.
Thank God for my Bee... :) and for another year of my life.

April 3, 2010
@ ivy’s room
So good to be back! I haven’t posted anything here for the past months. Now is the only time that I could really sit and share the details of my so-called life. Actually, there were so many wonderful things that happened in my life at the start of year 2010. I thank God for being so good to me.
Anyway, I would just like to post some photos for they will say much on the events that unfolded months ago.
wedding of my sister--- oh, it was a wonderful and solemn ceremony at San Lorenzo Ruiz Filipino -Chinese church where my sister Jessel and husband Gernil exchanged their love and fidelity towards each other. I was her maid of honor and my brother Jp was one of the groomsmen while my other brother co-celebrated the mass. It was one magical moment of my dear sister and I am so excited to see little Jessels and Gernils running around the house soon. I can hardly wait to see the fruits of their love. I am happy that my sister was able to fulfill her dreams of walking down the aisle on a white gown, with my father and mother on her side and with us as part of her entourage.
I finally have my own lappy and it’s a macky! hahaha! Since I am windows oriented, I am still on the process of getting to know my appelette’s configuration. I call my new lappy macky appellette, but of course I will never forget my dear old coco.
Apple iPodtouch -- It keeps boredom out of my way. So whenever I travel, I always have with me my Ipod. And in most times when I’m bored out of my wits, I play Raging Thunder or browse through some clips and songs. It was a Christmas present for me from my dear brother.
On being a teacher--- I am so happy to see our kids during their Moving Up Ceremony. I could just recall back the days when they were still adjusting to their new environment. Now, they have grown so much and I am so proud of them. I also learned so many things this year and I owe it to my experiences at SMS. I also thank Aileen, my ever dearest partner for making this year a very good one.
Thesis in progress! One of the many reasons that kept me really busy during the past months. The defense was finally over and I got a good grade in it. More to go!
And a happy love life! oh yes, definitely! God really works wonders in each one of us. He created wonders to me and my new found love in the most unusual circumstances. Now, I am happy in love. It’s still a tough road ahead, many challenges to take.... but with God’s help, I know we will get by.
I am quite in a hurry when I write this post. I will add more photos next time. tata for now! Have a Happy Easter Triduum, everyone! :)
