MY DAD is coming home! :)

And it'll be tomorrow.

I can't wait.

I can't wait.

I can't wait.

Long trip to happiness

If you can still recall my recent post that I mentioned about the planned gala with my friends, well.. WE MADE IT!

We conquer the world of nowhere last Friday. :)

At first we're in doubt if we're gonna make out the plans since one of my friends came late and the time was running out and we knew it by then that if ever we leave, we only got few moments to enjoy there then we had to leave again.. but since we're all set and don't wanna ruin the plans, no question asked we left and set off to Tagaytay.

Minsan lang to! :) Minsan lang ang nakaw na sandali na matutuloy ang plano! :)

It was already evening when we finally arrived in Tagaytay and not safe to continue driving to People's Park where we really wanted to go. So, we decided to just dropped by at the Lady of Manoaog Church which we found along the way.

The place was so peaceful and holy. You can think no misery, only gratefulness.

We wrote a wish letter/ prayer and put it inside the box

It was my first time to visit the Church and I was blessed by its serenity it gave me .

Then after the sanctified visit, we hung out in Nuvali, fed our hungry stomachs, sipped a coffee and just had fun. we found different mini stores of different kind. May foods, clothes, merienda, souvenirs and etc.

I like the carrot cake that I bought. Although it's not the type of cake we usually encounter, still it has an exceptional taste. Although in my opinion, it's more of a puto-like taste and texture, masarap pa din and a Filipino version of it.

But the most unforgettable experience we had that day is when the machine of my car overheated in the middle of the super duper congested traffic.. It felt like a trick to us. We didn't know how to fix it. We're the apple of the eye on the road buti na lang talaga cute kami! :) But thank God for sending us a good-hearted man who helped us throughout..

Although I spent 500 for the labor fee of the machinist, still worth it since we came home safe.

Buti na lang wala ng traffic nung pauwi na kami, around 11pm na kasi natapos ang pagre-repair

At masaya pa?!

Me: Nakakainis eh, kung kelan pauwi na saka pa nasiraan

Joyce: Adventure nga prend eh! Ang saya! :)

Kamusta ka naman prend? HAHA :)

P.S: I called my mom that night and I told her that I'll spend overnight in my friend's house since it's too late for me to drive home alone and thank God she approved and.. Jhun's mom too(special mention) :)

Malupit na banat :)

B:libre lng naman mangarap diba?

G:oo naman.

B: libre kaba?

G:huh? baket?

B:pangarap kasi kita eh.

I had fun last Friday and Saturday Nights!

I'll post the details tomorrow. I will just take a rest for a while. I enjoyed so much that now it made me tired. :)

Good Morning

Oh sunshine..

Why you shine like that..

I can't wide open my eyes..

I know..

Your shine is life

Your shine is hope

Your shine is beauty

But please..

Just this morning..

Let me stand out..

Let me shine..

I can't take a picture of myself..

You're devouring my image of beauty..

Oh sunshine, sunshine..

VAIN

I feel good about myself but for quite sometimes I miss the old me. I was once a sweet-looking HS girl but after I entered college and faced the monstrous difficulties of Nursing, I vanished the word "VAIN" in my vocabulary and almost forgot even to look at myself in the mirror because whenever I do, I just feel sad about how I look. :(

However, I still feel beautiful anyway. Kahit haggard-looking lagi at stressed, carry pa din and although nag-gain ako ng weight and I think it's because of a lot of stressors nga, at least hindi nagfade ang cuteness ko! :)

But for now on, I swear, magiging VAIN ever na me.

Not to attract but to just feel na, hindi ko napapabayaan ang sarili ko. right?

Adaptability success!

Since I mentioned on my earlier post about the goodbye-first-semester thing, I came up with this thought. Sorry for my kacornyhan though. :)

The gratefulness I feel right now is more than a million worth of a house and lot.

The tale begun since first semester arrived. It all started in the midst of June. Everyone was all neat to ride another journey of nursing life. Junior year fever had turned everyone into obscured fear of failure and disappointment. It seems that the start of the final judgment of our nursing journey has started. In withal, the separation syndrome captured most of us with the stressful fact that there were people close to us who were transferred into another section.. like me.The turmoil of real college life. Sigh of dismay…..

The tension that incarcerated everybody lasted for weeks. Everyone seemed to be adjusting in process and finally, making new friends in the presence of others.

It’s never easy to embrace new community. Nor will you negotiate the discrepancy of each personality. In a long-term process, there’s still a chance that we're gonna fit each other. There I put the saying, first impressions never last.

I came to the point that I think life with new people would be as impossible as you try to walk your feet over the sea. But reality proved me that I was wrong. No one can truly say it’s impossible without even trying it. It’s a stupefied thought that you cannot befriend a person not your standard. Remember, friendship have no standard.

I like the fact that I developed and handled myself carefully. I can say that I balanced everything around me. Although there were ups and downs scenario, still, I smartly stood up and learned from it. There’s a connection between adjustment and willingness. If you’re willing to adopt your environment then you’re most probably easy to adjust.

My voyage wasn’t all about learning academically but the essence of learning itself. The fact that I am creating reflections now about my experiences is a proof that I actually pointed out the essence of it. I learned by nature, by reality and by heart.

Meeting new people is kind of struggle. But as you continue to live with them, you’re growing positive outlook about humankind. Everything is a struggle but you can lessen the burden if you will just allow yourself to look on the good side of it. I mean, we’re all dependent with each other, generally. No man is an island, right? You need somebody so that you can also learn from him and for you to recognize the essence of learning..

You’ve got to adopt in order to survive…

And I am glad to say…

I passed the adaptability test of the first semester. :)
