First Studio Photo...ever!

Title says it all.

Taken at The Picture Company in SM MoA by the equally funny photographer Gee. (Who's very friendly, accommodating, and fun! We didn't feel any awkwardness because she was very patient with us.) Truly, it was memorable. Thanks again, TPC! :)

Scream. Shout. Let it all out.

"I wanna scream.. and shout.. and let it all out. Scream.. and shout.. and let it all out. We saying, oh wee oh wee oh wee oh wee oh. We saying, oh wee oh wee oh wee oh wee oh"

Now if you don't know what that was... it's Britney B*tch! :) (Scream and Shout - Will.I.am ft. Britney Spears)

It's been exactly 4 months since my last post.. what happened? A lot. Christmas holiday, new year's eve, new work assignment, new semester (9 units. Booyah!), new family members and a new found faith.

But after 2 hours of typing all about "what has", I decided to CTRL+A+DEL it. Haha! I'd write about "what is" instead. :)

What is #1)

After a month after my sister's (Lesley Anne) wedding.. a little bean's growing inside her tummy. Yup, she's pregnant! And I can't contain how happy I am because (1) our family's getting bigger; (2) excited to see how she will "manage" this 9-month journey of hers (because I enjoyed every single moment when my other sister (Kathryn) was going through it); and (3) babies are awesome! :) I'm gonna look forward and be excited for this all year long! :)

What is #2)

SUMMER BREAK! Booyah! After 5 months of deadlines, deadlier lines, and deadliest lines of project proposals, insight papers and cases/homeworks... it's finally over! SCHOOL'S OUT! (More blogging time for me. New layout, perhaps?) BUT...

What is #3)

Though school is over, I'm not that quite free yet. Earlier in the year, Bits and I accepted the calling to become this year's Director for the KIDS CAMP. (Aside from us being involved in the YOUTH CAMP as well.) As overwhelming as it may sound, I don't mind all the "work" that entails this responsibility, simply because I know that everything will pay-off in the end. Just thinking how blessed those kids are to have this opportunity is enough for me to keep on "working" and giving my "all" for this camp. :) (Yes, I am a Martha by default. Haha!) So, to my summer getaways... you'll just have to wait for me 'till all of these is over.

What is #4)

New work assignment, new challenges, higher stress level.. this is my work life. Which I am about to give up.. eventually. Workload is fine, but there's no growth to where I am now. And thinking about it, five years from now, would I want to be stuck in this place doing the same things? NO! What I want is a work environment which fosters growth and learning, and I can find it if I leave this place. 3 of my very close co-leagues have already left to look for their "greener pastures", which made me think.. "What is my 'greener pasture'?" As early as now I am trying to look for job which can satisfy that "need" for career growth, as what my mentor told me "You're not getting any younger, so get out of here while you still can.". Yes Ma'am, noted.

What is #5)

TRYING to become a better person by simply having a time with God everyday. Yes, I maybe old, but my "faith" is "young". And even if I think I know a lot of things already, still God reveals something new everyday. Words can't really express what I am experiencing now, all I know is that everyday God is with me, and everyday I'm learning.

So yeah, that's it. Updates in a nutshell. I chose not to rant (yet) about all that's happening.. So i guess I'll just have to scream..shout..and let it all out.

Bye for now.

Even The Best Fall Down...Sometimes.

....






























This, by far, is the worst state my heart has been.

I can't breathe.

I don't want to deal with this pain.

And I make no sense.

Breaking Free.

"Why can't boys understand that girls can handle honesty?" This has been one of my (daily) rants since.. 2011 and yet one person made me stand up and (slow) clap for understanding the gravity of honesty. :)

"You deserve to know." Yes, everyone deserves to know something (as soon as possible, as truthful as possible, and as detailed as possible) especially if you really value that person.

"Thank you." That conversation (as short as it was) made me realize one thing, that God indeed answers our deepest, most sincere prayers, in His own way..in His own time. I feel so blessed because now, I am free. Free from all inhibitions, doubts, anxieties, "what ifs", "why nots", and stuff. (Yes, it's all in plural form, except for stuff. Haha! Kidding..)  

YWABIMHA.

PS: As short and as vague as this post was, I hope you did get what I'm trying to say. Ktnxbye.

Thank You For The Broken Heart.

Thank You For The Broken Heart
By: J Rice


Everything I know about love I learned from you
And everything I know about pain I learned from you
You were my only, you were my first
You showed me lonely and you took me in when I was hurt
But the most important thing you ever gave me
You was the one that hurt the most

So thank you for the broken heart
And thank you for the permanent scar
Cause if it wasn't for you
I might forget how it feels to let go
And how it feels to get a brand new start
So thank you for the broken heart

I still remember when you called
And said that he didn't admit anything
How could you expect me to look at you the same way
You were my only but not my last
You showed me lonely and you made me put you in the past
The most important thing you ever gave me was the one that hurt the most

So thank you for the broken heart, oh yeah
And thank you for the permanent scar
Cause if it wasn't for you
I might forget how it feels to let go
And how it feels to get a brand new start
So thank you for the broken heart

And every time I find myself alone in pieces
I find myself I'll just remember when you hurt me and I made it

So thank you for the broken heart
And thank you for the permanent scar
Cause if it wasn't for you
I wouldn't be here with the love of my life all my pain disappear
I've come so far
So thank you for the broken heart
I thank you.. I thank you
For the broken heart
