Never underestimate the WORLD WIDE WEB.it's seriously magic.thank Gos for for the internet!

Gosh..i thought it was just a solid waste of time,a place to pass it,or become a new person or just pretend to be someone.

there's myspace and friendster and blogger and whatnot,not to mention wiki and ebay and amazon.you got everything.

i wasn't really appreciative of it until a few days ago..i dont know why but i just spent roughly the whole day on friendster then i decided to look for old friends..then i found one,a long lost friend of mine Melody.so i added her thinking she might remember me and she did but i guess she didn't know it was me until i posted a pic comment..u know,introducing myself once more..and omg..she did remember me!bff found.

that was like 7 or 8 years ago..time has passsed so fast..we're all grown up..so far from elementary school..jeez..this isn't something that happens everyday..since the world isn't small..talk about lost and found..

i can't even explain..all i did was say omg the whole time..and i kinda cried a little bit,well i did cry..so what?our world's growing old..friends are getting harder to find..but i happened o dig up a gem.so technically we're friends for all our lives now..

this one's not gonna screw up..i always wanted a "kababata" ,since i've moved a lot and i wasn't really into the whole BFF thing back then i dont really have a lot to fall back on..were gonna grow old friends..friends forever fool.

gosh...wow.

i never thought id see her again..friendsters the bomb.

if you're reading this,i love you!!!

miss you so much..promise we'll make it up kay?

1week in Bora..dont forget!

mayynn...talk about lost and found!

by that i meant You Don't Know What You Got Till It's Gone.
that couldn't be more true.

when you leave something behind,then you forget about it for a while,and if you felt like going back,you realize nothing's the same,and time never waits for anyone or anything..the world goes on,life itself goes on,whether you're there or not.

it makes you appreciate the smallest of things in life,and it also makes you regret for not taking it seriously.

i learned it the hard way.i got distracted,and now it's too late.nothing's going to be the same..but i understand that everyone goes as life goes on..

now all i can do is savor the memories of the past,but not live in it,because no matter what i do,i can't bring it all back..

but i won't regret anything.i'll just be glad and satisfied that i've managed to enjoy life and had some great and memorable experiences that i can think about when i sit back and relax..

but still nothing compares to actually being there,savoring it.

i really miss it.like crazy.

Glitter Happy New Year Graphics


2007 2008!!!

welcome 2008!let's hope that this year is even more better than the last.

for starters,let's take a look back at what 2007 had for us..
it's been a pretty crazy year for me..
*THE ROMANCE*
i had my first "date".lol.like finally..but technically it was a first blind date and i deeply regret that shit..i swore i'm never going on a blind date ever again.and i'm to say that i didn't get a boyfriend!being single really is great and i'm enjoying every minute of it..though i've had some boy drama..a friendship,a strong friendship almost ruined by a guy..but fuck it.we're still friends and they're not even togther anymore..no boy is worth ruining a strong friendship..most of us had our firsts in our love lives this year.but not THAT first.lol.we all got hurt,we all hurt someone,but we're still together and that's the bottom line.and i still kinda vow to stay single this year..there's a time for everything and i definitely feel it's not now.
*FRIENDSHIPS*
i still ahve the same friends.pretty much..there's this one girl,*JANNA* i wasn't really close to her,in fact,i kinda hated her as a person..but now..we're a lot more closer.and she's the only one that i trust with everything..and she's always there for me..i'll always love her.and there's this guy that i'm totally head over heels for,*MILES*..i've liked him since my freshman year and i was completely obsessed and infatuated..and i could totally see us together..but i guess it wasn't meant to be..even though i was really comfortable with him as a friend..we could tell each other practically everything..i've also lost friends..and i've made new ones..and my friendship with my bffs is defintiely stronger more than ever..and i hope it does stay this way.
*RELIGION*
this year was definitely an enlightening year for me.i went to church camp for the first time,and I've enver seen God in that way before..i was closer Him.and the freeway accident happened this year too(see blog) when i was feeling quite distanced away from Him and my faith was being challenged,and He came out superior..and i can't be any more thankful to Him for my life..and i wrote a testimony for my church..and i was so happy that they felt inspired with that testimony and now I'm doing an article for our church newsletter..my faith was challenged and it's definitely stronger now.
*PERSONALITY*
i'm a changed person.God's changed me.society has changed me.all for the better.i'm definitely a stronger person,and i'm more confident.and i'm proud to say that i don't give a damn about wht other people think of me.i realized i can handle he truth and i don't need two faced people in my life anymore.and i've realized that there's more to life than this.
*STYLE*
super prep!i have a signature style now..it's preppy but with a cali vibe..sometimes is New York chic and sometimes a little skater.lol.i wear bebe,abercrombie and fitch,pacsun stuff,vans and uggs.woo hoo!
*OVERALL*
this year was bomb..i've learned a lot and i'm definitely a stronger person.my faith is stronger..and overall,this year was awesome.and i'm hoping that 08 is even more..and i wish everyone else the same!

this is straight out of my personal journal.i just though i'd share this real-life experience with you,because i never thought i'd witness a miracle myself.i always saw them on the media or heard about them but after this i'm truly a believer.
+
this showed my family that God is definitely with us 24/7.
+
december 26,2007.the day after christmas.we headed to San Jose,California for a day of fun with the family..we drove around all day basically but we stopped by the mall for the other half of the day.then we decided to head back home for the night
+
i was so scared when the van that we were on stopped in the middle of the freeway.i was actually taking a nap when i felt the car stop and my mom told me and my sister to move to the front of the van since we were both sitting in the back.my mom and dad were calling the insurance company to report the problem when i got so scared and started crying and praying to God to take us under His wing and not let anything happen to us.I was whispering to Him,"not here,please." cus my mom kept warning us about the passing cars that might hit the van by accident and that the damages would be anything but little.we were waiting for the cab that my mom called for and the tow truck was on its way.that's when i realized how dangerous the freeway really is because i could feel the van shaking from the wind that the cars made while passing by,especially the big rigs.
+
the cab finally came,and let me tell you something,there's nothing scarier than walking in the middle of the freeway at night!i started crying out of being scared because we had to leave my mom and my sister in the van to wait for the freakin tow truck and i said to myself,"are you kidding me?!?you're leaving my mom and my sister in a broken down van in the middle of the freeway?!what if...???oh please God,please watch over them!" i cried all rhe way to the airport since i was so scared because i didn't know what will happen to them.i kept praying to God to watch over them even tho i knew He already is...i just couldn't control my emotions.so my dad,my brother and i were in a cab headed for the airport when i got a phone call from my mom.i was so relieved since i know they were already safe and we finally got a rental car to take us home.on the way,i was so thankful to God for watching over us and for keeping us safe and once again proving that he's the ultimate power.
+
later on i found out that my dad felt something was wrong with the car,he immediately pulled over to the right..and there were o cars around that could've hit us,and the fact that the engine died right in front of an exit sign was pretty darn sweet.
+
we had a mini fellowship that night..i couldn't stop crying cuz i was so overwhelmed with God's power and all..i can never be thankful enough to Him for saving our lives and getting us through this together as a family.

COw

cow



I guess you can say I'm weird now.lol.but i just have a strange and random liking for cows..it's not like I'm in love with them or anything.lol.they're just one of those favorite things of mine that i can literally stare at all day.it's just so entertaining observing them whenever i pass by the fields on the freeway.they just seem so..peaceful.it's like,they just graze on the mountainside not thinking about anything else but eating that little piece of grass..it seems that they don't have any problems,no worries,no nothing.except for caring for their young.sometimes i just wanna be like them,not giving a rat's squiggly ass about the world and what it thinks about me,not worrying about anything,and not have any problems.it's like i can just "shut the world out and just be left alone"(according to Carrie Underwood's song,So Small)..and for the most part,i get to stay outside and breathe the fresh air all day unaware that my days to the slaughterhouse is almost there..it makes me wonder..do animals really talk to each other as humans do?like in the movie BABE.they make friends,they have enemies,they warn each other for things,does it really exist?but from what i see,it just seems that they're unaware of the world that they're in..they just go about their own business without any problems.i wanna be like them sometimes..jealously?i think so.

All my life I imagined myself leaving the Philippines and settling down in America. Most of the time I'd hate the hot humid Philippine weather or complain about the pollution and the jeepneys and the stray dogs coming out of nowhere,I'd always compare America and the Philippines and I'd always think that America is much much better than the Philippines,but now,I kind of regret everything that I said.I'm not saying that I don't belong here in America.It's just that I'm getting so homesick that if I could go back and forth in a heartbeat,I would.
My family and I would always talk about going to the US and bathe in imported shit and hang loose at Disneyland and maybe take some snow home with us and watch the Spice Girls(i didn't know at the time they were form UK).We'd always be the happiest people in the world when we'd receive balikbayan boxes from our aunts in America.We loved the smell of Bounce in the boxes and the new clothes.We didn't care if the chocolates were melted or if the caps of the shampoos were covered with a mile of tape to keep it from coming off.We were just so happy and so boastful with what we got.
Then at around 2002,leaving Pinas was becoming a serious issue.Then I found out that my dad would be leaving us.I wasn't sure on how I handled the news at the time.I just remember that day when he left.I didn't take it seriously at first,but as his departure time was nearing,I got scared and sad and angry at him for doing this.My grandma(R.I.P) went with him.I cried and I cried and I cried for I don't know how long.But I was most concerned with my mom.She took it the hardest.Sure my dad did leave the country a few times for business trips.He went to Bangkok,Thailand and Hong Kong he also made local trips to Baguio and stuff but it was only for like a week.It was kinda quiet without my dad.I really did miss his laughter his constant taunting.lol.I missed everything about him.Especially,since my mom didn't drive at the time,our SM megamall trips and whatnot.
Then about a few months later,I guess it was my mom's turn.I was devestated.I was sobbing at the airport when she told me not to cry.So i tried my hardest not to.I was with my aunt(R.I.P) at the time and she also tried hard to not cry.then we had t stay with my maternal grandomther(R.I.P) until they decide to take us or come back.Let's just say that my life was very different with my grandma.Then about 2 years later,all grown up,My parents decided to take us to "spend Christmas" with them.Little did I know that we're staying in America for good,and since I didn't know squat about our permanent stay,I still went about my normal stuff in school,said casual goodbyes bragging about my "vacation".When I reached America,the reunion was pretty emotional.But all I could say is that we lived happily ever after.But then i got the news that we're staying for good.I was PISSED OFF.They couldn've told me so I would've made some decent goodbyes and I would've brought ALL the memories that I have..I could say I got depressed..but I got over it somehow.I'm pretty happy here in America,but I still get homesick every once in a while.
I guess that's the meaning of,"you can take the girl away from her home but not the home from the girl." Damn right=]
