“Forget what is behind, and strain forward to what is ahead..” Phil 3:13

spiritualinspiration: We’ve all had seasons when the challenges...

Sat, 09 Mar 2013 07:17:10 -0500

We’ve all had seasons when the challenges of life feel overwhelming. During those times, it’s easy to be tempted to talk about how bad things are. Maybe you received a bad medical report, or maybe you’re facing a financial obstacle. The more you talk about something, the bigger it becomes in your mind. Instead, you’ve got to dig your heels in and say, “No, I am not going to give life to that defeat. I am not going to speak sickness over myself. I’m not going to speak lack. I’m not going to speak fear. I’m choosing a different report. I believe the report of the Lord which says, ‘I can do all things through Christ. I can defeat this sickness. I can break this addiction. I can have peace in my home. I can see restoration in my relationships.’ ”

Remember, even if you don’t see how things could ever work out, God does. You’ve got to speak His Word over those mountains in your life and declare favor over those situations. Instead of talking to God about how big your problems are, talk to your problems about how big your God is! As you speak to your mountains, they will be moved, and you will walk forward into the victory God has prepared for you!

And you should, too :)

Thank You 2012!

Mon, 31 Dec 2012 08:33:00 -0500

I have always said how fast time flies…and when I try to recall what had transpired in the year 2012, I can say that it was a year full of unexpected journeys and new experiences.

This year, I decided not to plan my life anymore. In the past, I used to keep a journal of to-do-lists, things to look forward to..and they all end up stressing me out even more and tiring me because they push me beyond my limits. In short, planning my life just led me to disappointments especially if I don’t accomplish all the things in the list..that stupid list.

So I just surrendered the year to my God…and started the year with a question. What should I do this year? To help me answer that…I still made a list.

Since I did not see myself working again in a job that does not interest me at all, I prayed that He will provide me with platforms where I can learn, enjoy and do things that I can be passionate about. In the beginning of the year, I remembered praying that He will give me opportunities to write, and write, and write .Consequently, with the little money I got from a previous gig, I enrolled myself in a baking class.

And that began a year of passion—a passion for baking and writing. If you have been following this blog, you will know how I pursued a career in writing and began my journey in the kitchen. They did not start well, but I enjoyed the unexpected ups and downs of pursuing those skills…and oh, I would like to add that I decided never to drink soda and iced tea ever again!

However, while the year was generally a good one, it does not erase the fact that it is also a year of bittersweet junctures. Friends made a family of their own, another flew off to another country, and my own brother finally got married. And oh, who will forget my unexpected trip in the emergency room? I got hospitalized in March pushing me to be more careful with my food choices. Finally, I decided to move to another city, faraway from home…

To fully encapsulate the episodes of my 2012, I want to make a list of what I am thankful for the year:

I am thankful for the new friends I had the opportunity to meet this year.
I am thankful for the love of family and friends that have been shown and rubbed on to me this year.
I am thankful for the great health.
I am thankful that I was never lacking this year. Although I couldn’t say that it was overflowing, but my cup had always been full. I am greatly blessed this year.
I am thankful for the education life has taught me this year. If there is one important thing I learned this year, it would be that unexpected journeys are surprisingly the ones that give you the better lessons. I also learned that it is not bad if you do not know what you want in life at 22, because sooner or later, things will just eventually make sense…
I am thankful for my singlehood. Yep, and I am saying that with genuine and sincere heart. Being single gives me time to explore life, spend time with friends and family, and the opportunity to get to know myself better…
I am thankful for the hurts, disappointments, unmet expectations, and shenanigans of life—because they make me human, and they make me cling and trust my Lord even more.
I am thankful for my parents for keeping up with my choices. I know that in some point or another I disappoint them with my decisions, but I am thankful because they have always been supportive in pursuing things that makes me happy.
I am thankful for every opportunity to mature and grow up.
I am thankful for a better home.
I am thankful for old friends who never fail to give me a good laugh that make life even more colorful. To my friends around the world of every color, shape, sizes and sexual orientation, I thank God for your lives.
Lastly, I am thankful for Jesus. Although admittedly, I do not spend much time with You, I am thankful because You are the reason that I am alive and kicking each day. I thank you for Your faithfulness, protection, and wisdom. Finally, I thank You Jesus for your grace—grace I do not deserve but lovingly given to me.

2013 is approaching in a few hours. I thank YOU my dear reader for being with me in my journey. I am hoping for better things to come and I am ready for the surprises God has in store for me and the precious people in my life. May God bless me, you, our families, our country, the world in 2013! Happy New Year!

“…but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.” Isaiah 40:31

PS: I might start the year with a list after all…^__^

Random Thoughts - 11242012

Sat, 24 Nov 2012 01:50:01 -0500

That title (which looks a lot like the filename we use in submitting our works) will be my guide on how I will try to go about this entry..

Yes, I know I have been in looonnnggg hiatus in this blog..and I feel that you, my handful readers (LOL!) deserve to know what have been going on…(let’s pretend many are actually reading this blog..not that I care..)

Well, it’s been over a couple of months since I have been working as a “professional writer”. CHAR. Literally, what I do is to write, eat, write, write, eat, laugh, laugh, write..haha yea, that’s how my day in the office is..Generally, I like doing my job and I respect and adore my new officemates..this does not exempt the fact that the job can be stressful and pressured at times..but it is just the way it is. But truthfully, when I think about it, wherever I am in right now are something that I fought for in the past…so I have to be happy about it, right? Because I truly am. Although I miss home so much I don’t think about it that much because it hurts..it really does..

It is good that I’m working five days a week so that means I got two days off to do my things..ever since I got here in Cebu, I have been responsible for what I eat, doing the dishes and laundry, cleaning the house..you know, the normal domestic chores I do at home…but it is quite different now, because those chores need to come out of my instincts, because i need to do it..because I had to do it…yes, I miss cooking especially baking..I am kind of scared that i will lose that “finesse” in the kitchen the next time I get my hands on my beloved spatula, baking powder, baking soda, flour, eggs, butter, sugar….I miss baking for my brothers Nico and Doy, I miss my brother Kuya Hero..I miss cooking the banana cake my Mama and Tatay loves..and I miss checking the Internet with substitutions and measurement conversions..I miss the silence of our home whenever I am left alone the whole day..those times, I now realized, were the times I felt really really peaceful…but honestly, I do not mind the crazy scheds and events now..because..I chose this.

I miss my friends…both in Gensan and Davao..there’s nothing like doing crazy silly things with them…and although it sounds childish but the never-ending repeats of stories remain classic for me..because for me, that’s the only way of reminding me that, I had a wonderful youth..a fun-filled at that..

I always seem to forget that I am 23..no longer 20 or 21 or 22..at times I feel really old..and at times I feel really young..I can’t seem to put a finger on it..

About dreams…well, I can say I am living a “part of the dream”..and I don’t have the right to complain about it..little by little, in small parts I am living it..but I believe that there’s more out there…soon..

About love…I am sincerely looking forward to that day that I can fill thoughts about that category..but right now I really can’t…yet…

Oh, last night I spent time with friends and watched a concert from a British boyband A1….it was like blast from the past..although I was really a fan of Westlife, (another boyband for the sake of people who do not know them..) but I can still remember pestering my mom to buy me an A1 cassette tape before! LOL I was amused that I could still sing along with their songs..haha that just meant I really played their cassette tape over and over and over again before…it was really fun. I am glad to have been born in that era..the Boyband era! haha

About faith…day by day I am learning and re-learning about how much Jesus loves me..and I am truly truly truly happy about that.

I guess this entry is getting lengthy…and I thank my neighbor for turning his wifi on..hope he doesn’t turn it off forever…LOL

Have a blessed weekend guys!

Badian, Cebu

Sun, 23 Sep 2012 06:48:43 -0400

Okay, I know I haven’t been updating for a really long time now due to big changes in my life.

So I’ll try to make kuwento through this post :)

So I have been in Cebu for a month now. Yep, the transfer was quite surprising but I have been praying for the decision for months before I finally decided to transfer here in the Visayas..

The month that I transferred here was met with so many trials, new experiences and a whole lot of faith…You see, I was starting anew and I was in a foreign place where I didn’t know anyone except a few friends…but I guess, I have always been the adventurous type…so the experience excited me rather than scared me…

The first few weeks I had to learn how to commute and to look for a job…one thing I must applaud Cebu for is their public transport which I found really cheap..(in Gensan, when I commute I had to pay P30 to get to my destination which is not really that far and that’s really expensive)…but I miss the cleanliness of Davao, though :)

So I experienced how it was to be normal..I mean, normal as in to job hunt and undergo through several interviews and exams…until I finally hit the jackpot :)

I believe that God has put me in a place where I could do the thing I’ve always wanted to do which is writing…I have been writing professionally since the year began and it was a nice continuity from what I left off in Gensan…and so far, things have been surprising and I think those surprises are really great…

Although I really miss a lot of things like baking, my family and friends of course, but they have all been very supportive of me..and we have been keeping in touch thru txt, calls and email.

So, the photos I am sharing in this post were taken yesterday during our company outing in Badian, Cebu…It was a nice place and the waters were clean but let me say that my top favorite beaches are still the Sarangani beaches :D

The girls of Content Development Department…

Yes, I danced! HAHA! And our department won the Gangnam Style Dance Contest! No more of this song please!

During lunch..

with Jonny our fellow newbie who just came from the UK…isn’t he a sight to behold?! hahaha Great inspiration to come to work everyday! JK

My co-workers when we had our photo taken during sunset…We were a little over a hundred in my workplace and we are composed mostly of young people so it wasn’t that hard to get along with people…

=====

That’s all I can share now :) I have been great and God has always been faithful. I really wish I could update more but I have been really busy getting used with my new life here in Cebu :)

‘til next time!

xoxo,

Scarred

Fri, 31 Aug 2012 01:49:24 -0400

One random day, I noticed the scar on my left which I got when I was still very young. I couldn’t remember my age exactly but I remember getting it because I fell while I was running or playing…

The scar has always been there. I was never bothered by it. Even when I started wearing shorts in exchange of loose pants, I was never ashamed of that scar.It is nothing big, but it is noticeable…

I am proud of that scar. It has always reminded me of how strong I am and I can be…that in every downfall, getting up is always a priority. Scars remind us of our past hurts…and how they can heal through time…but they stay there, reminding us that the things that can’t kill us, surely make us stronger…

Being scarred for life can be a good thing…Scars can make us beautiful, too.

I am glad to finally share these photos with you taken during my birthday celebration. After my brother’s wedding on the 8th, my parents and I were really exhausted. We haven’t slept for a few nights because a lot of relatives came. It was so much fun though seeing all my relatives for that special occasion. More about my brother’s wedding on my future post…

Two days after my bro’s wedding is my 23rd birthday. I am always in awe thinking how much I am loved by two of my best guy friends in the world, Cris and Red. They visited me in time for my birthday. We had a simple dinner in Cafe Mita and we invited Kuya Jaypee to join us.

After Cafe Mita, we decided to “drop by” the newly opened SM City Gensan. After strolling around, we went to Coco’s to eat some vegetable pizza courtesy of Kuya Jaypee. Since it was early to go home, we went to Music City for some karaoke and went home…Cris and Red were staying over our house. I made some brownies with some assistance from Cris. Red made this really cute bracelet for me while Kuya Winston was on Skype. After the brownies were done, we watched a little movie and went off to sleep at 3am.

Before dropping them off the bus station, we went to the mall to eat. Cris and Red gave me this really cute Fedora and scarf :)

It was such a simple yet meaningful day spent with special people in my life. How I wish life can be as simple and fuss free.

I am sharing these photos from Cris and Red.

That’s it for now! :)

I am ready for the new things God has in stored for me :)

Being 22 Rocks!

Thu, 09 Aug 2012 11:38:00 -0400

In the previous years, I would normally blog about the highlights of my years..But this time, I think I’m gonna stay low-key and just let the thoughts stream until this reaches into a coherent post..hopefully.

I had to laugh with the title of this post…Isn’t it too bagets?

But true to its meaning, I really do believe that my year wasn’t too bad at all..I mean, who am I to complain when I was able to do a lot of things for the last 12 months (If you have been following this blog, you’ll know)…It wasn’t easy I must say..but looking back at them just made me realize how gracious the Lord is to me…There were the normal highs and lows but overall, it made me into a more determined and enduring person…enduring can be a strong word..but it is the most appropriate word to describe the person who I turned out to be…

The year has been full of surprises..even I was surprised on how it came about…But all I can do now is to just laugh them off and tell myself “See? Time goes by so fleetingly you won’t realize it has been a year..”

As any normal person would, I am looking forward to every birthday not because of the glitz and glam associated with birthday parties..Believe me, that’s just not me at all…

I look forward to birthdays because it simply means I AM moving forward…and another thing is realizing that God is much a better planner than I am…

So this birthday is no different…I just want to thank God for staying with me and being so good to me even if I don’t deserve it…Believe it or not, I have stopped planning and thinking too much about the future..I have learned this year that all I have is NOW..After all, nobody has ever gone to the future, right? Is this really part of growing old or is it just another careless side of me? I don’t really know…

What I know is that God has always better things in store for me…ALWAYS. I have always said how funny it is to realize how things just don’t make sense in the present and how they would later on…

Deep-down, I have always been a fan of surprises. Ready or not, I think I can manage :)

Goodnight and yeah, being 22 rocks! Goodbye to my 22 self!

Changes

Tue, 07 Aug 2012 12:13:14 -0400

Later, I’ll be waking up to a morning knowing that our lives will never be the same again.

Change is always scary. But it can be a good scary.

For most of us, weddings are always memorable, fun, exciting and something to look forward to. But for me, this day means something else…

Today, my brother is entering into a whole new chapter of his life. Good for him. I have always wanted to see my brothers mature and stand on their on two feet.

But as a sister, their only one for that matter, I will always feel…robbed—robbed in the sense that, a man in my life will be taken away from me whether I like it or not..and it is kind of bittersweet when I think about it…

I love this picture of us because it perfectly spells our childhood. In this picture, there were only the first three of us siblings (Kuya Doy, Kuya Hero and me)…I don’t know if my brother knows about this, but he is actually the one who taught me how to ride a bike…When this picture was taken I was about a year old…When I was about 10 years old, he taught me how to ride a BMX bike (yep, it was the uso back then)…

Today marks the day that we will no longer be the kids we used to be back then…We are no longer the kids bickering over a slice of fried chicken..or the teens bickering over TV channels…

Although time, circumstance and characters among other things have made us grow apart, my brother will always be my brother and I know that…but today, he will no longer be just that brother who took care of me when I fell and scratched myself when I was five…He will no longer be that first playmate I ever had…Today, he will be someone else’s husband…someone else’s son…someone else’s brother in law…and soon, he is going to be a father himself…and me writing this right now, will just laugh about this whole thing..

To my Kuya Doy, whether we both like it or not, I will always be the second girl you ever loved :)

And I want to be acknowledged as that.

To Ate Carmily, welcome to our family! I officially have a sister…a sister-in-law :)

Ok, today is the D-day! Let’s have a wedding ya’ll!

Congratulations Teacher Marivi!

Thu, 26 Jul 2012 23:57:00 -0400

This is a very special post dedicated to one of the most influential (if not the MOST INFLUENTIAL) person in my life, to my high school teacher, Mrs. Marivi Chiu Lim-Castro.

Upon opening my SNS today, I found out from Joahanna that she won this year’s search for MOST OUTSTANDING TEACHER OF THE YEAR sponsored annually by METROBANK FOUNDATION! And I know how major that is!!

Last week when I came to see her when I visited my high school how happy she was to be chosen as one of the 40 finalists…and she told me that although it was really hard to outbest other finalists who earned doctorate degrees and who are also master teachers, she will just put it in God’s hands whether she come out among the top finalists—she being only a Teacher I.

I told her that it was okay. Being in the top 40 was a great feat already. I even encouraged her that there’s always next year if she doesn’t make it on top. Being among the top 40 is enough already…and winning it, is just a bonus from God..

And what a BIG BONUS it is! Although there is still no official public announcement yet as of writing from Metrobank Foundation, but hearing it from her and Joahanna is enough for us to announce it to the world.

I know last week she went to Manila for another screening, and I thought that just meant that she advances on top…and later did we know that it was the final screening, until she was asked again to go to Manila for yet another screening the other day, but to be greeted instead of Congratulations and merriments that she made it! She is this year’s OUTSTANDING TEACHER!

I can’t wait to see her and know the whole story from Teacher Vi herself!

Anyway, if you don’t know how major this recognition is, you may click here to know more about the award given annually to teachers.

I will tell you why I am super proud of her…

Teacher Vi was my high school English teacher. She was also my debate and speech coach, broadcasting coach, and one of the few people who believed in me that I could write from the very beginning…[the first one really was my Filipino Teacher, Ms. Jane Sequito (RIP)] It was Teacher Vi who encouraged me to practice my writing even at that time I knew that I sucked…and then I practiced and practiced..and much to everyone’s surprise, I won the first Newswriting contest I entered..and she was the first one to tell me that I can really do this…and then on the Regionals, I won again..people were starting to believe in my talent..but then I told myself that winning in the Nationals was going to be a bonus…and she told me to just enjoy the contest…and surprisingly again, I won in the Nationals..and when it was announced that I won, she couldn’t find me at first..because I was crying…

And because of that epic moment in my life, I decided to take up Communications in college and found joy in writing :)

This was taken in San Pedro, Laguna in February of 2004 during the National Schools Press Conference. It was the first time that our papers entered the competition and we went home with top recognitions..it was an epic moment not only for me but for the whole school!

This is Gladys Reyes, i mean, Teacher Vi in our highschool yearbook…LOL

This was during our HS Prom :D (Buti na lang di to colored..haha)

This was during one of our sleepovers at school…I miss highschool sleepovers!

Ever since, she has been winning awards not only for our school, but also for the city and the region :) That’s how gifted and talented she is!

She’s super hardworking and despite the fatigue she continues to give her best in everything… I used to massage her with her Chinese Egg whenever she was tired..hahaha!

This was taken during my highschool graduation…Yep, I was super bungisngis, then!

I think this was for the highschool yearbook editors and staff..(Great thing I was in yearbook also back in College so I know how the quality of yearbooks has improved over the years! LOL)

She is the person who inspired me to write and be more adventurous and see the world when I can :) She is truly part of the reason why I became who I am today.

Sooo..there you have it! Again, cheers to our Teacher Marivi, my mentor, our sometimes-mama and auntie and my friend :D IKAW NA!!!

Sun City Suites Appreciation Night

Fri, 20 Jul 2012 23:46:00 -0400

Last night, I was invited to the Appreciation Night of Sun City Suites as part of their 2nd anniversary celebration. The theme of the party was Casino/Vegas..and boy, these kids really know how to throw some parteyyy!

I love how the whole room looked! I also loved how they injected these little elements to really achieve a Casino-vibe. I mean, where did they get those feather-looking centerpieces?

When you arrive at the venue, these large playing cards will greet you and some more playing cards that will lead you to the party…cool, noh?

And then, there were performances in true Casino Royale-fashion courtesy of the Sun City Suites staff (Is it a requirement that you can sing and dance to work for Sun City, eh?)

Mr. Bong Sun, Sun City Suites Corporate Secretary led the toast.

More performances…

And they awarded their top corporate and government accounts. Obviously, this is the main reason for the party, to thank their patrons and accounts which have been supporting them for the couple of years of operations…

I did not miss the opportunity to have a picture with a “bunny”! So adorable! haha

And they even have poker tables inside! Details! Details! :)

And the souvenir? Playing cards of course!

Me with the Pinoy Mom, Ms. Cathy Bolodo..and one of my brownie customers..hehe

Some prizes were given away. Joanne was lucky and brought home some GC’s from Music City.

That’s Mr. Philip Pabelic, the Resident Manager of Sun City Suites and President of the Gensan Hoteliers Association.

Joanne and Crizzy, the Store Manager of PCWorx Gensan here with Mr. Bong Sun.

The two PCWorx girls with Mr. Albert, a local fashion designer.

Joanne’s outfit for the night :) I love her necklace. Very classic!

Crizzy’s outfit that we picked out for her..gorgeous, right?

Yeah, sexy back!

I love my outfit that night!

It was a classic LBD with fringes and tassles, and how it isn’t too short that accentuates my ehem, legs..just perfect for the theme of the party. I was also thrilled that my hair is long enough and is now manageable. I just put on some heels that were surprisingly comfortable. Thanks to Joanne who did my make-up! :)

And here we are with Kate who obviously looks really good here. She told us that they were preparing for this party since April and I think that all their preparations and hardwork were all worth it! Congratulations to Sun City Suites!

I had fun last night. It was good to doll-up once in a while and meet a few people and to see and be seen at the same time. It was also our way of supporting our friend Kate. By the way, we also supported Kate last year through their Night Run Series.

Tonight, Sun City will hold their Night Run Series for the second year to cap off their anniversary celebration. I am still thinking whether to come or not because I am not sure how my lungs will handle the whole thing… I am not as physically well as compared to last year…But oh, well.

Again, Happy Anniversary and cheers to Sun City Suites!

Happy Birthday Baby ZK!

I was invited to the first birthday celebration of Baby Zahra Kate, the niece of my good friend Freyti :) Had I known that it was Tinkerbell-themed party, I should have dressed for the occasion..LOL (That was a looong story, bottomline, I was clueless of the party’s theme until I got to the venue..blame it on Freyti!)

Star-studded Saturday

Mon, 02 Jul 2012 22:51:38 -0400

I am only writing this blog because my friend Jay Ian requested me to. Haha! (not that I am complaining or anything..so here goes..)

I couldn’t remember how everything started. What I can remember though was that it all started with the news that Anne Curtis is going to have her concert in the city and Joanne got really excited she told our other friends Shai, Ahleen and Kate..and one shisha night they came up with a name to brand their fans club..our fans club, Annettes.

You see, Anne Curtis is considered to be the hottest and bankable TV star in Philippine Showbiz right now..She is also among the “it” girls and graces almost every cover of magazines and all sorts of endorsements from telecoms, sanitary napkins, anti-cancer injectibles, beauty products, etc..She is also part of this variety show and has just recently come back after filming a Hollywood indie film in..err..Hollywood.

So anyway, she was scheduled to do the concert last Saturday, June 30.

And here’s to show you more or less how that day came to be…

We were interviewed by VIVA Entertainment, Anne’s agency (So if you see me on TV, just please don’t tell me! )

Anne was nice naman. She is very approachable to her fans and does not mind taking a few photos with them..

Seeing Ritz (ontheritz.tumblr.com/@GForce_Ritz) honestly, was I was SOOOO looking forward to. I have always been a fan ever since I saw him dance in Ateneo. As I remember, he was not really that approachable back then..maybe he was just shy especially that we weren’t even classmates and all…

But when I saw him last Saturday, and the fact that he even hugged and made beso in the restaurant (and tried to do some small talks with me), backstage of the concert and on the bar as if seeing me as an old friend, I saw a different person..and I admire him more (and trust me, I saw the sincerity and no kaplastikan at all!).

The night came and Joanne, Kristelle and John, Kate and I had dinner at VBar in Sun City Complex before heading to the venue…

Si Joanne na ang naka-outfit! Of course, she was on platinum!

I was happy to see this two people get along well..You see, I have a little side kuwento lang…Kate’s mom used to be the ex of Kristelle’s Dad! Yep! Imagine, if they ended up together..I won’t have Kate and Kristelle as my closest girl friends, siguro! And the irony now is, they both work in separate hotels and got the same job in Sales and Marketing..Which means they are work rivals! HAHA!

The concert started at around 9:30 PM.

I wasn’t really impressed with the stage design. In fact, I was disappointed really..Well, not to brag or anything, I had staged a more complicated and more astig stage design when we did Awitenista 2009 back in college. We had three screens next to each other and they were hanging pa on top and playing three different videos at the same time…for real! So, oh well..that was 2009 and this is 2012..haha! (Hambogera lang!)

But the lights and effects are good..halatang hindi local ang supplier! I miss doing productions!

That red dress is soooo familiar! hahaha

Yes, that’s Ritz assisting the agaw-buhay stunt of ANNEbisyosa!

It was a fun and enjoyable concert to be honest. And in fairness to her, the voice did not sound that awful..until I found out that some parts of the songs were taped..hahaha! Oh well, I wasn’t surprised at all..GForce was great as usual, Jon Santos was awesome and really smart..Erik Santos, was well..okay..and Rachelle Ann Go is still really impressive..I hope she comes back to ABS-CBN..

I can see these two lovebirds are enjoying the concert…hmmm…Ganda ng Beshie ko noh? :) Nahiya naman ako sa inyo!

Hello Freyti gurl!

Rume-red lips lang? I am not bagay! hahaha! I can do well without makeup!

After the concert, we were lucky to have a picture taken with Anne..and yah, she was not looking at this particular one..I think it’s on the other cam..the official one..haha Shaira (the one on the left side of Anne) came all the way from Davao!

This was really funny..we were looking for the GForce and was told that they already left..when we were looking for a way out, we happened to find them backstage! haha! And Ritz introduced as to the whole crew and they were so nice to have a picture taken with us even if it’s obvious na they were all tired na! GForce, I am such a fan :) Promise! Please stay humble guys ha. I’ll be sad if I hear na lumaki mga ulo niyo..because you guys are so nice and very talented! :)

This picture is for Ahleen who is now in Singapore..we miss her!

We went to Pahayahay to eat and to VBar and they danced..sila lang coz I don’t really go to bars..that night was an exception..haha! I was surprised when I saw Anne there with the GForce..siya na ang more energy mas happy! We went home around 4am.

Because of that day, I realized that being famous, beautiful and rich aren’t all that glamorous…I can’t imagine living a life being followed by strangers..you can’t sleep if you want to..you need to smile all the time..you need to look good all the time..but anyway, she has the money so it isn’t that bad at all..haha!

Have a great Tuesday everybody! :)
