First Day of Summer Vacation :)

Whew! It was blazing hot today, despite the fact that I just stayed at home the whole day. Well, I guess INTENSE heat from the sun is a sign that summer here in the Philippines is fast approaching. Ugh. This place will once again turn into a giant oven, trapping all heat inside and just baking us all. HAHA. Kidding. But, more heat just means that we would have the more urge to plunge in deep waters, and going out of town for family bonding time, excursion trips and of course, swimming in beaches and classy resorts. :D

I want to feel and experience SUMMER already! Not just the heat, but I want some adventure. I hate staying at home and just being lazy all the time. I want these months to be fecund and productive. If possible, I really want to find a summer job. But, here in the Philippines, I guess that is a hard thing to find. I am still under aged, and there are a LOT of requirements to fulfill if you want to get accepted. But, in case any of my friends are able to find some, I am planning to join them. I think that would be an amazing experience.

I am also planning to enhance my skills in playing the piano. I only know the basics, and so, I want to improve myself in that particular instrument. I love music. I love creating melodies through the piano. I want to use my talent to give praise and worship God. Which is why, this summer, I am also planning on taking new and advanced lessons so that I could get better at playing my favorite instrument.

As much as I want to have a fun, and exciting vacation, I also want to make use of this time to relax and take a break from all the hustle and bustle that I have been through for the past 10 months. I want-no, I am WILLING to once again get back on a proper relationship with God. I have decided to finally grow and mature fully as a Christian. No more immaturity, no more selfishness. It is time to have a proper fellowship and commitment to my church ministry. At least- before I leave sooner- I am fully ready and armored with God's Word, and standing firm and faithful to His ministry. You have no idea how amazing it is to be a Christian. And, I am blessed that I am one. I just hope that I won't let go of this kind of commitment ever again.

Oh, well. I just noticed that I am getting views on my page which is why I decided to make another entry. HAHA! Even if it is a veeeery small number, I kinda appreciate it. Well, if YOU are viewing this now, THANK YOU! I hope you don't consider my life boring. XD But, I do would appreciate it if someone would leave a comment and let me know what he thinks of my writing. Well, see you soon for another entry! Goodbye and God Bless! :) 

Any plans for Summer vacation? :)

Alright! Classes are officially OVER! and now it's time to enjoy long nights of leisure and fun, doing nothing but staying up late, surfing the INTERNET, and other things not related to school stuff. hahahaha!

Do I have plans for my long vacation?? Well, as of the moment, NONE. But, our family is planning to go to Bataan this wednesday, and will be staying there for the night. Then afterwards, we will head on to Laguna for our church outing which will be in a private pool. :) I guess my first days of summer would not be as boring as I think.

I also have a class outing. It's called a fourth year day. We spend one whole day of our summer somewhere else as a class and just bond with each other. As of now, we are still planning for it since our plans for Rem's resort in Bataan was sadly, CANCELED. *sighs* Well, as long as we are together, any place for me is fine. It does not have to be too expensive, or too grand for me to enjoy the day with my friends. But I hop we can already choose a site until tomorrow since most of us would already be busy after Holy Week and onwards.

okay, it's only 11:52 pm but I am still alive, alert, awake, and enthusiastic. I still have no plans of going to sleep so I might as well do something else. This is my entry for today! Good night! Oyasumi nasai! HAHA!

Seniors' batch 2012-2013 Graduation Day- All for the glory of GOD :) march 22, 2013

8 hours of classes a day...

5 days a week...

10 months...

4 whole years of HIGH SCHOOL...

and now, it is finally over.

To God be the glory! I am proud and happy to say that i have finally GRADUATED from high school and am now off to a brand new chapter in life- COLLEGE.

I truly praise God for His greatness in my life. Were it not for His love and faithfulness to me, I would not be able to reach all of my dreams and ambitions. Even though I fail Him sometimes, I strayed too far from the path that He chose for me, I did not completely submit to His will, still He never gave up on me. He continued to work in my life, and never let me go despite of all that I have done wrong to Him.
There is nothing that I could ask for more in return. He has blessed me beyond what I could hope for. That is why all my achievements are for HIM.

I am very proud to have come from Fairview Baptist Academy. Yes, this school may be unpopular, and not among the elite schools in the country, but it has become more than just an institution to me. As I have said in my speech last night, this school is my second HOME. It has taught me a lot of things in life. And if I would be given a chance to live again, I would still choose this school to nurture me and to teach me once again. I would never forget all of the memories that I have shared with all of the people there.

I am going to miss my batchmates :(. This class has truly become a one, big family. We share a bond with one another. Victory of one is the victory of another. United we stand, divided we fall. In our hearts, we are UNDIVIDED. We may mess up a lot of times, we fight, we share arguments, but I believe that there is NOTHING that can keep us apart, not even trials, problems, distance, or time. We are brothers and sisters in Christ. We may be apart from one another, but our hearts will remain close always.

Graduation Ball was an UNFORGETTABLE night. We had a banquet a Sulo Hotel, where I am going to change my outfit into a prom dress. I am going to change twice by the way. HAHA. So my partner for my cotillion de honor dance is none other than John Mendez. A third year student. Since we only have 6 boys, and there are 14 girls, we have to "import" guys for this important event. We also had an honoring for the parents and teachers that time, and also reading of the class prophecy. The AVP of the class prophecy was actually made by me and Karl. Haha. I had fun doing it, despite the fact that we are already too stressed and cramming at that time.

Awarding Night was totally SURPRISING. I actually hoped that I would win "best dress" but to bad I didn't. Instead, I got "Queen of the Night"! hahahahah! I cannot believe it. And a queen must have a king, right? Well, the King was none other than, Carl Joseph Rafael C. Nacpil. The guy that I like since I was in second year. :""""> yes, I am blushing. I won't deny it. He may not be my first dance, but he became my last. :D I guess I already am satisfied by my award. Though I really am taking hold of my emotions that night to avoid my classmates teasing me again, still I was so glad to have danced with the guy that I like for a long time. It definitely was a night to remember. :)

Oh well, this is the last. I am truly sorry if my writing is a bit too rushed, since I really need to sleep now. I still have church tomorrow. :) Good night!

Countdown to Graduation- 1 more day left! :)

Wooh! Well, I guess it did not take me too long before I will write again another blog entry. 

It's the final countdown! Only 24 hours left before our senior class graduation, and thank God there are no classes. All of us seriously need a very decent rest before the "big" day. However, not all preparations are 100% complete. We still have to prepare and finalize all speeches and AVPs for tomorrow, and we still have to wrap up the gifts we bought for all the teachers in the school. So, I spent half of the day at maynel's house wrapping gifts along with my other classmates, Elmira, Arielle, and Athena. We've had a lot of fun actually, despite of the fact that we are already so busy trying to make our last night as seniors memorable and unforgettable by doing all these preparations. It was very nice to have a chat with these people. All my stress levels are going down because of all the laughter and funny stories that we've shared with one another. haha! ^_______^

Tomorrow may be the last day, but somehow I myself also don't feel like I am already graduating from High School. Maybe it's because of all the stress that has exhausted me for the past few days that I have not realized that fact. This is it. I really am growing up. I am now facing the real world. But, the question is, "Am I ready for it?"

My 4, long years of high school is just a glimpse of life. JUST A GLIMPSE. But, it's not yet reality. If the days that I have spent in high school were already HELL, then most probably in college, I already AM on the HIGHWAY TO HELL. Everything that is on the streets-the danger, the terror, the lies that are lurking about will be waiting for us by the time that we walk out of these doors. Am I scared? Can I survive this turmoil? Well, the answer is YES. Yes, because my God is an Awesome God. He is my light and my salvation. There is nothing else to fear knowing that He is beside me and He will never leave me nor forsake me.

Okay, I guess this is it. I need a beauty rest, wait what? hahaha. just kidding. I just need to sleep early tonight. I can't afford to have droopy eyes or eye bags during my ceremony. I need to look my best, so goobye!

-signing off 

Countdown to Graduation- 2 more days to go

Hello! Hurray, for my very first blog entry online! :) Hahaha. Losing my Starbucks 2013 journal was a total disaster and left me almost 3 whole months not putting all of my thoughts for the day into writing. So, I decided to create my own personal blog to replace my journal. And I am quite happy for this decision that I have made for myself. I am feeling quite excited to start sharing my thoughts again, finally.

Okay, so today is the 20th of March, and only 2 days left until our Senior Graduation. All of us are very busy making last minute preparations for the ceremony and for the banquet. Among those include general practices for the procession, the receiving of awards, diplomas, and certificates, song numbers for graduation, teachers, parents, and of course, the cotillion de honor dance. You could say that it would be like our prom night. Each day of preparation has always left me and all my classmates completely TIRED and EXHAUSTED. But, there is always not enough time for a proper rest since there are still so much to do, in so little time. As vice president, I was also given responsibilities and tasks that I need to accomplish within this week, the AVP for the Class Prophecy. I was assigned to make the powerpoint presentation for that, and, with the help of my classmate Karl, we have done it in a maximum of 3 days. It was not that easy, but glory to God because we have finally finished it. My fingers are crossed for the outcoming of the presentation during the bannquet. I am just HOPING that people would be happy for what we have done.

Writing is my passion, and so I decided to help Maynel, our class president, in her speech for the parents, as well as the song choices for the grad. I already feel that she is now highly stressed due to the many activites and responsibilities given to her, so as her friend, I decided to give her full support and a lot of help to ease her load. Though, she still has a lot of things to do, I know that she can do it. Besides, I am also there for her to help her in any way that I can. Aside from her speech, I also did the AVP message for the parents and also for the teachers. Hooray for another sleepless night! 

Part of the banquet service would be to give our beloved teachers as a token of our appreciation and I am happy to find something already at the mall just this afternoon. But, those are for random names of teachers. As for my high school teachers, i decided to give them pearl necklaces which i hope that they would use it and appreciate it. I think that it is an ideal gift right? haha. 

I also bought gifts for my parents, but only in secret. They must not find out about it, because it is a surprise made just for them. My gifts will soon be known to the world two days from now.

As of now, I have already done all the things that I need to do, and thank God there are no classes tomorrow. But, I have to go to Maynel's house to wrap the gifts for the teachers. We still have a lot to do before our highly-awaited graduation is about to take place. 

Well, I guess that I have written long enough on this blog, or online journal for me. Anyways, despite of all tiring practices, we all had fun with one another and spent the remaining days together.

Looking forward to what I will write to my next entry! :)
