Tunog Pinoy

kuya has noel's byahe album. nakakahiya man, but while listening to his version of kahit maputi na ang buhok ko, i was crying. kinikilig at the same time. not only that i fell in love with the song, it's because i love and i miss the one whom i dedicate this to.

astig ng musikang pinoy! kay sarap umibig!

for my cesar, mahal na mahal kita.. "ang aking pangako na ang pag-ibig ko'y lagi sayo kahit maputi na ang buhok ko".

Flattered

i was tagged "crush ng bayan" by my teammates..sorry guys but i am already taken and devoted to my "john lloy-DY" :-)

Period

irritated, emotional, sensitive, masungit -- name it!! bakit ganito every time i have my monthly period :-( is there a scientific explanation for this?

am not a good girl yesterday. halo-halo na siguro. after a tiring and stressful day at work, expecting to have a good night sleep. sobrang antok na rin as i am taking an antihistamine for my allergy. only to find out, when i get home, that kuya is comfortably sleeping in my room. waaaah!! kairita! i wanted to rest and it's my room!

bad bunso..i'm trying to control it. i cried. i am really sorry for my action.

Journal

december 2005, i got my first starbucks planner. i was too excited and inspired to list down my faith goals for 2006. the planner turned out to be a journal. i write my emotions, victories, prayers and answered prayers. i write even my failures. and every december 31st, i go to a near coffee shop or in my room, and take a glimpse of the happenings, rainy and sunny seasons, and put it into writing. giving thanks to God for the year that was and praying for a better and fruitful new year.
since then, i always get myself a journal but not necessarily a starbucks planner :-) it's good to look back and see how He blessed me in every way and how i grow in His love and in faith.

naalala ko, sabi ko noon gift ko 'to (my journals) sa magiging partner ko in life. "eto mga ginawa ko habang hinihintay kita"

first starbucks planner

kikay journal. kakamiss naman to! those were the days.

pinakagusto kong planner ng starbucks

dami sulat!

my jollibee planner! i don't like the 2008 starbucks planner. feeling ko sayang ang pera kaya i get the jabee planner instead :-)

got the 2009 starbucks planner but i gave it to someone as i found a more kikay journal from fully booked

tada!! ready na ang journal for 2010 :-)
