For sadness, for joy.

School year's close to an end. 

April's almost gone. May is gonna swish by.

It's too fast. Tooo fast...

First of all, today is:

Nicole Punsalang's 

Mindy Song's 

Christine Gonzales's

Birthdays! :)

I'm glad that Nicole's birthday went real well :)

I'm having crossed fingers that my 16th birthday will be swell too. x)

Because for some reason I think I expect too much, and take many things for granted. Hopefully by my 16th birthday I'll have actually grown up from the year before. And that I'll be able to appreciate that day. 

... wow. Reminds me. I should do more things before I turn sixteen. x) I wanna be able to do things and say, I did that when I was still 15!  You know what I mean? Not drugs or anything. Now that's horrible. Hopefully we can still get a gig at the Wire. Dude first show not for a party! 

I'm having a lot of stress. I really want things to just end, for summer to be here already. Yet at the same time I don't want to let go of things. I don't want to. Isn't it funny how we notice things after it's gone? :\ 

I don't want to think about it. However, I learned this in European history: Carpe Diem.

Bye bye Confirmation II...

I'm going to miss Neil and the Confirmation II class! :( 

If only I could actually be confirmed with them...

aww, I'm so sad now.

Hey i can blog off my phone now! Haha like twitter?

Here's my digits, but don't call me.

Karma back at ya. Lost my cell phone. Forgot my dance shoes in dance class. Probably failed my French test. Awkward moments. A lot of things based off luck these days.

Good side: I probably know where my phone is. I was considered a very animative dancer in dance class today. I got to get out of class early today because I apparently had improved my CST scores, and I got free lunch.

On Sunday was Easter. The Lord has risen!!
It was a beautiful day.


On Sunday we celebrated my lolas' (grandmas') birthday at Chino Buffet.
Their real birthdays are on April 13th. Yes. They have the same birthdays. No, they are not twins. Yes they are sisters.
(Idk our family has this have-the-same-birthDAY thing; I think my dad has the same birthday as his dad.)



Anyways according to my studies I think Lola Vicky (left) is now 86 and Lola Ping (right) is now 83. They have hope. Their mother lived up to-- was it 98 or 99? It's amazing. They say they want to see me turn 18. They say they want to see me succeed. :)

Thing is about them, they love God very much. They always turn to God. Maybe God blesses them with long life. They always tell me how much they pray for mine and my brother's success in life, always reminding me to always pray to God, that He's always there for me. Reminding me that I can pray anytime I feel troubled, or even when I'm not troubled.

They were the ones who taught me the rosary. When I was little, I prayed with them because I wanted to. Not because I had to. Today they still pray hours and hours a day.

They tell me of their husbands who are now both dead. They tell me how they prayed for the perfect loved one. Both their husbands were very religious. God blessed them with men who loved them. God blessed them with husbands who loved God. Their perfect loved ones.

They both are widows, living together, keeping each other together. They are two strong sisters side by side. Enduring 80 plus years together.

I love them. They are strong, they are hopeful, they are faithful. I am blessed with such grandmothers. I thank the Lord. :)


Oh yeah, and my mother and I made them a cake and two cupcakes out of fondant! :) First time using fondant. I've been told our cake looks like a hat x)

It was windy today. To me, it was beautiful weather.
I pretended I was at the beach. And it was windy. And the sounds the trees made were the sounds of waves. Yes.

SPRING BREAK IS GONE

what have I doneee.
No hangout whatsoever. :(

My spring break was spent:
-deciding what Risk to do. I STILL don't know what to do
-studying European history. -__
-going to people's houses TO STUDY
-eating a lot.
-no meat means more carbs. more carbs means more bloat. gahhh
-I feel unaccomplished as to the "Break" part.

I just got a new dog...
and I don't really want it :(
I feel as if I can't give it enough love. It hasn't been in my life for several years like how my other dog has...

why didn't my dad ask me.


I need a risk to do and I only have two more days to think of one and do it....

Do you think I'm weird?

While you guys are listening to acoustic songs or RnB songs, I'm at home listening to a capella Filipino folk songs. x) I'll admit it haha.

But you can't blame me! It sounds so good!

Dahil Sa Yo - University of the Philippines Singing Ambassadors
Thanks to my dad for singing this all my childhood.



What are your guilty pleasures?

What a tiring weekend.

Took up a lot of my Spring Break already!
