naligaw na prinsesa

yesterday, i accidentaly stepped on a kitten. pinulot ko at tinabi. pero, sumusunod sa akin. so, i just brought him home. i was suprised on my parent's reaction, nung nakita nila ung kitten. hindi sila nagalit saken, i just have to make sure daw na hindi magkakalat un. i gave myself one week, pag hindi ko sya kayang alagaan, ibibigay ko sya sa iba.
i actually called my friend who's a cat lover. pero, sabi nya bka masanay daw ako sa pag-alaga. bseides, ,marami na rin syang alaga. mhirap na un.

i guess i was meant to keep the cat because, God might be teaching me something. Before ako pumasok ng bahay, tinabi ko sya sa mga pusang kalye sa amin. hindi sya nilapitan. so tinago ko na lang. I named her "princess" kac, i believe the kitten is special. nkakaawa kac, ang she can only see through her left eye.

things worth sharing---from a college grad

-graduation day: with my two best friends in college-
moving out of one's comfort zone can be downright scary. that's what i'm experiencing right now. i'm not a student anymore, no more daily allowances, late night crammings, nerve wracking recitations in labor, and the list goes on. needless to say, i don't have a license to be a kid.
i'm already considered an adult and expected to act like one. after graduation, i've realized that i have other roles to fulfill. it's up to me, kung paano ko patatakbuhin yung buhay ko.this time, you're going to make your own syllabous, not your professors. you have so much freedom, but you have to be responsible with your actions. mas importante ngaun ung diskarte. i believe, i cn do it.

i really miss ust, my friends, and professors, but most of all, i miss learning. but learning doesn't stop in the four wall of the classroom. actually, i consider myself as a student of life. for me, learning is a lifetime experience. what's important is that i must tap in to the things that i'm passionate about. after i marched, i told myself, "i won't allow my work to make me dumb". based from my corporate stint last year, i've learned that doing monotonous tasks really exhausts us. but, i should not limit on the things that are given to me. i put it this way, if i know, i can do or be more in my status quo, i should explore, i should think outside the box. besides, work is just a slice of life, it's not the entire pizza. i should not take things personally. working eight hours doesn't stop me from doing the things that i'm passionate about. i believe that successful people are those who are making the most out of their limited resources.

i describe myself as a dreamer and a pragmatist at the same time. i dream. i love to go beyond borders, love to break people's expectations. i like to help other's dreams come true. i hate the idea that people box me na, "hanggang dito lang ang kaya mo, u can't go too far". i love proving other people that they're wrong. in high school, i was most people think that i can't be good at anything. it bothered me for a while, but i considered it as "non-sense". i moved on with my life, i focused on my priorities. now i'm proud to say that my efforts paid off and with God's grace, i was able to graduate in a prestigious university.

i am a pragmatist because i'm practical at the same time. i made sure that i've maximized my resources. i have so many endeavors. ang dami kong gustong gawin sa buhay ko. actually, i'm planning that after college, to teach less fortunate children about christ's teaching and to serve in our church. i also want to take crash courses on baking, fashion design, or bead making. but i don't have the luxury of time and money. but i can't do all these things, because i found myself responsible in our family business. before i arrived with this decision, i prayed to God first, because i believe that if i put my faith in him, everything else will follow. as written in the bible, "commit to the Lord all your plans, and your plans will succeed." this made sense, first things first. how can i teach other children if i can't teach my little brother? and how can i help my family if i'm serving the church most of the time, to think that there are responsibilities na ako lang ang makaka-gawa. whatever i do, i put my trust in God because i believe that everything will fall into place.

-i've made this title because i want to post every thought that ran through my head. -

joyfully single
i've learned that some of you're views today may not be the same 5 years after. i'm talking from experience. the person that u thought u wanted when u were, 15 may not be the person u wanted today. because of experiences, we learn and our values become more defined. the more matured we get, the more that we realize the characters that we want in a person.
i'm already 21, and i'm not a kid anymore. i'm expected to act as an adult. but i'm not that old, i have a lot of 'growing up' to do. this means that i don't want to rush things. petix lang muna, ika nga ni claye. i don't want to rush into a relationship just because i like the person. liking and knowing a person are two different things. i know, relationshps are not easy. kaya, i think that it's better to know the person first before we get emotionally attached. ewan ko, basta all i don't need to take all things seriously, kelangan timplahin muna.

being me
all i want to do right now is to move on with my life. ung mga memories ko, iniwan ko na sa college. babalikan ko na lang pag kinakailangan. i want to start from scratch. kaya nga magpapahinga muna ako for one month before i work. i have to take all the rests that i need to take, but at the same time i also have to prepare myself. i want to take my life one at a time.
i want to get focused on the things that i'm passionate while fulfilling my obligations in my family.

bum culture
hell no! i won't rest forever. i can't imagine myself asking money from my parents. nahihiya na ako! but i admit, nage-enjoy ako magpahinga. movie marathon, excessive blogging, 10 hours of sleep, voracious reading, browsing christian bautista 24/7....i love it! now i have the luxury of time to do all these things, though i know that this will not last long. i've currently finished watching "Bagets". It's really hilarious, those were the days were aga mulach was the boy next door and herbert bautista was the comic geek. and oh! their outfits were really ridiculous. thank God, i wasn't a teenager that time. i can't even imagine wearing pink leggings and yellow top with matching walkman... yuck! but not all of the old flicks that i've watched were ugly. i've also watched breakfast at tiffany', it's really timeless. i believe, most of the romantic comedy flicks that werer produced recently were patterned from that movie. i can descirbe audrey as humorous, but still manages to stay classy. that's why she stands out. fyi, she's one of my fashion icons. my grad dress was inspired from that movie. it's simple yet elegant. see?! i'm not bumming for nothing
