Christmas PARTY 2019

These are my favorite people. Sobrang saya ko lang na binigay sila sa akin ni God. I’m so blessed. Kita naman sa mga muka kung gaano kami ka saya pag mag kakasama. These people are my family forever. Whatever happens, magkakahawak pa rin kami. Mahal na mahal ko sila kahit minsan ang sarap nila batukan haha. =)) These are my family and I will include some photos of our party.   P.S. I can’t see the Lapaz-Costales Fam. Photo. Huhu. Ang pinakagustioko sa family ko na to, kahit ano pinaggagawa namin, masaya parin at walang arte at laging nagtutulungan. So may kanya-kanyang pakulo, may sumayaw, kumanta, nag drama, tumawa at kung ano-ano pa basta ma keep yung party na alive and happy and YES! I am so happy spending may January 1, 2019 with them. Yearly reunion namin’to. Tuwing Jan1 talaga. :DD May gift-giving at pa jackpot pa. P8000 ang jackpot ngayong taon at kung sino ang mananalo, sa nahay nila gaganapin ang party plus yung jackpot na bubunutin naman natin. This year, sa bahay namin yan. SO …

How to Really Know Someone Vol. 2

This is the continuation of “How to Really Know Someone: Vol. 1” blog post.  72. Would you try smoking? Alcohol? Why? Smoke? No, because I have asthma and I can’t stand even for seconds inhaling too much smoke. Alcohol? I already did. I tried drinking one cup of flavored vodka and that’s it. I preferred red wine more than vodka. I hate and don’t drink beers. 74. Would you try drugs? What kind? Why? No! I will never ever do that. I love myself and my internal organs. 75. If a crystal ball could tell you the truth about yourself, your life, the future, or anything else, what would you want to know? Why I am here, existing in this painful and unfair world? What is my real mission for living and who are the people that really care for me? What is the meaning of my life? 83. Define a “friend”. A friend is a person who will listen to your dramas, understand you, correct you, change you, teach you, wake you to the reality …

How to really know someone?

I enjoyed reading Kai’s post about how she answered a series of questions and got inspired to answer as well for you to know who and what I am. The list is over a hundred and I decided to pick out random ones to answer. If you guys want to answer a series of questions and situations too, click here. 5. Any specific personality traits you would like to see in your life partner? I want to have a positive, understanding, hardworking, and lovable partner. Even though he’s not that good-looking or rich, as long as he has a dream and goals in life that will be okay to me. I just want to have a simple and happy life until the end. 6. Should parents be their child’s friends? Yes, it is way better for me so that their child won’t grow secretive or sensitive because being friends with our parents is a good thing to feel comfortable and to share their thoughts, especially their feelings and personal problems. 19. How important is music in your life? I …

Self-doubt

I recently made a trip to UPLB to submit some additional requirements. I’m still holding on to hope, praying, wishing, and firmly believing that I can gain entry into graduate school. Pursuing my Master’s Degree is something I’m extremely passionate about, even though there are individuals trying to bring me down because they don’t believe in my potential. That’s life, filled with its ups and downs. Success doesn’t come without encountering failures, discrimination, and criticism along the way. I’ve decided to use these negative sentiments, discrimination, and criticism as motivation to improve and ultimately succeed. I’ve grown weary of shedding tears and am determined to change my perspective on life. When your mind and heart are genuinely set on achieving your goals, you can overcome obstacles, even when there are naysayers trying to hinder your progress. I’ve learned to let their disbelief slide off me. I’m making a promise to myself that I will become a successful woman one day, not just through intelligence or bravado, but through hard work, perseverance, and unwavering faith in …
