I’m Thankful For: LOVE

For a month, I haven’t watch any TV series, commercial, etc. And  I was so intrigued of the Mcdonald’s commercial that everyone talks about. The line “Ikaw pa rin ang first love ko” was stucked in my head so I searched it in YouTube. Our internet connection is kinda choppy so I watched the video bit by bit. And when they came to the part that the girl was introducing her husband, tears streamed down my eyes. I thought of those days back in my first year in high school. (I’m being open about this ha. )

When I entered MunSci or my high school years, I wasn’t aware that this is the stage where teenagers get into relationships. I was so surprised when my classmates were talking about how many boyfriends they’ve had. Being that innocent person I WAS :p, I didn’t talk or made comments about it. Eventually, someone courted me in the class, and I was about to say yes to him. Buti na lang! But I have to admit, he is my first (puppy) love. But I wasn’t ready to commit and until now, I value my days of singleness. And as I watched my friends having boyfriends or girlfriends one by one, and seeing some of them fall out of that relationships for some reasons, I am so thankful of the people who thought me how to love sincerely and whole-heartedly.

Every time I feel alone, I always envy those who got lots of people around them. I just realized that not all of them loves that certain someone. And even if I’m alone, I know that those people who are closest to me are the ones who loves me best. To enumerate them all may take me a whole day or days, but I’ll list my top 5:

GOD

Obviously, my great and amazing Father is the one who loves me the best of all! He created me in the uniqueness of His image and called me her daughter. He provides for me well and gives me everything I need. He takes care of those people I love and His love will never be compared to anyone else’s love for me.

PARENTS

God gave me 2 of the most wonderful people in the world. My mom and dad! These two gives me the physical affection that our Father can’t give for now. They taught me how to value other people and the essence of loving anyone even with their faults or difference.

FAMILY

My family showed how loving is. I was showered with gifts, money, and all the material things they can buy for me. But nothing will ever replace the values and memories they gave me. Including the way their love is for me.

FRIENDS

Yeah, I know we fight. But you’re the bestest people close to my relatives! You showed me how you love other people. You showed me the consequences and everything about teen life and love even if not deliberately. I’m most thankful of my bestfriends who never ever left me and loved me for who I am.

CHURCH FRIENDS AND ACQUAINTANCES

My spiritual family is also the best. With the best values, they taught me things about life. They inspired me to do others good and love those unlovable people. They taught me how to be kind and compassionate to everything.

I give thanks to everyone who loves me. Those who took the time to know me. I’ll never ever forget, that I should be thankful for those person who loved me despite of my imperfections.

…at kahit hindi naging kami sa huli

sya pa rin ang first love ko.

For Everything I Give YOU Gratitude

Since I had an idea on what the wealth of the world is, I became one ungrateful person. Sure, I was happy to have this, or that, but I’m not really contented with my life. I was that ignorant kid thinking of herself as a low-class person because I don’t have things that my friends have. As they say, all human beings tend to be envious and try to worship material things. It was when I grew older that I realized that these things are not worth anything. That I should be more than thankful for the wonderful moments and memories I’ve shared with the most important people in my life.

I grew up with an extended family. It was still 2006 that we seperated from them. Almost all of our relatives are catholics, so I believed and practiced catholic traditions. When I reached my 2nd year in high school, I commited again to the Lord and my life is turning to be one great experience. In my high school days, I also met different people with different stories. Some of them is like an adapted tale from those fairytale books that we’ve read when we were kids, and some were like those telenovelas that our mothers watch (and we are so sick of watching it with them). I realized the importance of family, of relationships, and of great faith in God. With this realizations, I’ll be starting some entries of why I am so thankful about the life that God has given me.

Praise God for giving every being their breath!

I am not busy, really

Just kidding. I am really busy. And I am just sneaking this blog post in my list of activities. I’ll start making kwento…

Trigonometry Dance- There is this project of ours. It’s a dance for our trig class. I know it sounds weird for a Math Class to be having a project like this kaso ganun talaga. It is about synchronization ata, or the likes. So we were having practices in our free time. Our class were divided into groups which makes it more difficult because the best dancers aren’t evenly distributed. We also practiced after classes. Monday, we thought we could go home early. but I went home at around 9pm or something. Of course, my mom scolded me. Argh.

Then Tuesday, we had another practice. We went to Soldiers (at the court near Pia’s) to practice and make props for a play. There were a lot of problems in doing that and a little commotionhappened. I’d rather not talk about because it is so irritating. We went home at around 9pm again. Many thanks to Pia’s kuya and mom who drove us to bayan.

Wednesday was performance day. It was very exciting and frightening at the same time. I was sick that morning so I don’t know if I can perform well. We also had this open forum which helped a lot. Silence was heard in the emotion-filled electronics room. It was a very succesful forum because our mediator, Sir Alfaro, was very efficient and we saw the changes in the class immediately. We performed that afternoon and stayed until 9pm again to make the props for the play in Values which we will present the next day.

Thursday! The presentation of the play. I’m not nervous for I am not part of the cast. But when they started performing, my hands were shaking like crazy! It was a very intersting play. I like it a lot. Hope we wll win so our section can perform for the whole student body. I got home early. And I was able to rest. Whew!

Friday was a very cold day. Haha.   Classes were suspended and I went home ahead of my classmates. I waited for about an hour before my mom arrived from the market. I just slept the whole day. Well, not really the whole day. I did some worthwhile things.

The worst th9ing that happened was that I did not attend Sunday or youth service. Frustrating. It’s my tito’s birthday kasi kaya we have to go to the party. It was fun rin naman.

Haiyy. A very busy week, right? Hope I’ll have more time this week.

Till next post!

Science Day :)

The last 2 school years in Munsci are definitely full of activities. One of these activities are month long celebrations for a certain subject. To culminate the activity, there will be an overnight camp inside the campus and the following day will be the day of games and other special activities. But for this year, it was a bit different. Almost everyone in the school waited for the announcement of jingle competitions, campings, and other activities. 3 months have passed and there was no sign of having any celebration for the following months (with exception of the Filipino Month, which was boring. Sorry!).

It was a good thing that the Saliksik Science Club arranged at least a day for some festivities. I wasn’t interested at first because of our Research Project which was included in the science exhibit. We were so busy cramming for the project. We didn’t attend the meeting for the groupings for that science day! We were all so tired and very much worried about the outcome of our project. Another thing is that we have to go to school on or before 6:15 in the morning! Imagine! I was planning not to attend, but there will be minus points on our team if I will be absent. We also have to bring 3 flattened cans. What did I expect? That It will just be a boring and stupid day.

The first activity that we watched was the board game. We won there. And then the Mad Science show. I was so bored and amazed at the same time because a.) I watched it for the 5th time because I attended those seminars in Glorietta. b.) It was so boring to sit on the hard concrete. c.) I was amazed because it was a long time before I get to see those experiments again. After that was lunch time. I ate with some friends and then I asked Reniel (He’s my best friend) to go and walk around the campus because I have to tell him all the frustrations I had for that week.

And then the events began to turn around. Instead of the boring day I was expecting, it became totally fun! The games were astig and of course I was happy kasi we won sa tug-o-war at kasama ako! Carry ko yun noh. ) It was so fun. I enjoyed everything. And for the best event..

Ten-tenenen!

The surprise activity: An impromptu jingle competition amongst the whole student body. I thought we were going to argue. Ayun. Buti na lang may clarity ang mga utak namin and we planned well. We understood one another and hoped for the best that we wont be embarrassing ourselves in front of everybody. It was fun. Really fun.

This is a super late post. I edited for 3 days and I forgot the activities that happened. But I really had fun and I hope there will be another activity like this. Kuya Nicko! Congratulations! Haha.

TILL NEXT POST!

Faster, Higher, Stronger! (Part 1)

Here I am doing another post of another tiring day in my life. Naks, ganda ng intro.

I woke up a little early for a scheduled meeting of our group in AP. We have to present an advertisement as our project for the first quarter. But the twist is, the characters in our “commercial” should be historical people or people who made remarkable history. Being my lazy self again, I didn’t bother to wake up my mom who slept late because of watching those crime stories on FoxCrime. Instead, I went outside and ate biscuits and drank a glass of water while looking for a nice show on TV. The noise woke up my mom, and she went out and said, “Anong oras ka ba aalis?”. I told her that I should be at school by 10am. We ate breakfast (a real breakfast for me now), and I went back to bed. Talaga naman! Tamad talaga!

I went back to watch some TV. And I was so ecstatic when I saw GinBan Kaleidoscope. Gosh, it was super good anime series. And i was tempted to watch and stay home until 12 noon. I did not eat my lunch and just took a bath and did my own manicure and pedicure (haha, when vanity strikes. ^^) and went straight to school.  When I got there, I saw them doing nothing. They just talked daw. “Sinasabi ko na nga ba!”. Haha, it was 2pm going 3 so I have to hurry to Festival. I then realized that I have no one to go with. I was FORCED to go with the boys. The good thing was a female classmate will be going with them too! Nagsiksikan kami sa isang tricycle. There were 6 of us! Hai, talk about masikip.

After about 30 mins. of travel, we arrived at the mall and I seperated from them. Time to praise and worship!
