bakasyon grande!

helloooo! so the school year's done (thank God!),  the sibs' graduations came to La Fin, finally and the whole fam is free. so eto ang ganap, what to do after a looooooooooonnngggg and tiring ten months of suffering school-related thingy? ano pa edi bakasyon! bumongga ka gurl, rampa kung rampa. ganapin mo 'yan. chance mo na 'to so gow! grab the opportunity.. at ganun nga ang ginawa ng pamilya namin. bakit ba? jet-setters kami eh! CHOS!

so after ng last test ko at graduation ng bagets (alexi and jann), lahat kami, nag-impake at fly papunta sa hometown ni pudak, kung saan ang angkan namin ay saksakan ng yaman *nag-fi-feeling lang ako, ba't ba? problema? blog ko 'to, so gow lang!* saan sila nagbabakasyon since fetus pa lang sila. perstaym namin pumunta sa liblib probinsya dahil nga dito kami pinanganak at lumaki-- yes, kasama si mudak. sadly, we can't bring aviona with us dahil madami pang chuchu na kelangan gawin at i-achieve, so iwan muna namin sila ni ate mae sa balur, mag-bonding muna sila dun.

so eto na nga, diz iz it! after 8 hours ng matagtag at maka-panindig-balahibong ANTOKyo, Japan na naranasan namin, finally, dumating na kami. 9pm kami lumayas at almost 5am na kami nakarating, so, you can just imagine how SLEEEEEEPPPPY we are pagdating sa otso (gusto mo yung mga otso? hihi!), pero bilang may lahi kaming justice league at feeling namin kami sila wonder woman, walang tulog-tulog. keribells! gow agad sa beach at swimming ang peg namin. AGAD-AGAD! time is gold, so ba't di mo isanla? naman namin sasayangin no? chance na namin 'yon. ano itsura ng tayamaan? ito:

yes, wuma-white sand.

first day 'yan. second day, wala pa din kamin kadala-dala. ilog naman! bilang wala namang malinis na ilog sa manila, avail na namin 'to. pagbahan naman, kung saan naghuli kami ng talangka na sa kasamaang palad eh pinakawalan din ni pudak. sad but true. :(

in the past few weeks, i've been very (maka-very naman, wagas!) busy. midterms week kasi so i've to study. (what's new?

feast of Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception

hiiiiii! dahil pyesta ngayon, at wala akong pasok (okay, ako na! hahaha!), naisip kong gumawa ulit ng bagong entry. wala lang, me magawa lang bukod sa humilata, manood ng movies, gumawa ng assignment at kumain. :p

ano nga ba ang meron tuwing December 08 at walang pasok o nagpupumarty ang ang mga marian schools? well, here:

ayon kay mareng Google:

The Immaculate Conception of Mary is a dogma of the Roman Catholic Church, according to which the Virgin Mary was conceived without any stain (in Latin, macula or labes, the second of these two synonymous words being the one used in the formal definition) of original sin.It is one of the four dogmata in Roman Catholic Mariology. It is completely distinct from the Virginity of Mary and the virgin birth of Jesus, though it is a popular mistake to confuse them. Mary is sometimes called the Immaculata (the Immaculate One), particularly in artistic contexts.

The proclaimed Roman Catholic dogma states "that the most Blessed Virgin Mary, in the first instance of her conception, by a singular grace and privilege granted by Almighty God, in view of the merits of Jesus Christ, the Saviour of the human race, was preserved free from all stain of original sin".  Being always free from original sin, she was from the start filled with the sanctifying grace that would normally come with baptism after birth. Although widely-held since at least Late Antiquity, the doctrine was not formally proclaimed until Pope Pius IX did so in 1854 in Ineffabilis Deus.

so there! oha! for me, it's but necessary to acknowledge Her. so, sa mga nagkukumeyjay kung bakit big deal tuwing December 08, give niyo na sa'ming nagpupumarty 'tong day na 'to? pretty please? k? :P

It STOPS today

well, bet ko lahat ng strong songs. :p

enjooooy!

18 Roses

YAAAAY. countdown to THE event has already started. 10 days to go and i'm 18. well, not exactly but pwede na din. LOL. ehhh, so i mentioned about the planning of my debut already diba? well, guess what, chestnut? we're on the final details of the party already. :D to tell you honestly, i got so stressed talaga that it came to a point na ayaw ko na lang mag-debut, but sabi nga, winners never quit and quitters never win, so..andito na eh, pinagpatuloy ko nalang. :)

one fact that really added to our (take note: OUR talaga. hihi. thanks to my ever-present mudak!) stress is my schedule. tae! sino ba namang makakapag-plano ng event sa schedule kong halos umabot sa levels ng schedule ni Lord? sobrang walang time kasi tambak ng schoolworks.:o kaya mom said na 'wag ipagpilitang iplano kung di keribells ng powers ko, meron pa naman daw akong sembreak. HIHI.

so, my sembreak started october 7, right? october 10, ayan na. parang pinag-pahinga lang ako ng two days then back to work, (but it's kind of fun work naman kaya bet ko din. :) ) we immediately have to sort-out what's on our we-definitely-have-to-do-this list from our that's-so-chaka-i'd-rather-die list para we have peg na. my idea kasi was originally to do something far from "formal". i just want the party to be fun. nothing more, nothing less. but mom, being the pinaka-masunuring anak, apo, kamag-anak, kapatid at kaibigan in our family, wanted me to have a "formal" party-- complete with 18 candles, roses, treasures, etc. so that they (mom and dad) could tell everyone that their baby is now a lady. LOL. so basically, the whole process was kagulo!

we had to talk it over before we finally agreed to do a nothing-formal-just-fun-but-seems-formal party. with my 18 treasures, big times and jewels. HIHI. no roses,though. why? here's why.. :)

we all come to certain point where we would like to do something different, something adventurous, something extraordinary. in my case, i don't want my debut to be adorned with men. for one, because i think it's unnecessary. second, wala naman akong mapapala dun. third, hindi ko gustong sumayaw ng paulit-ulit at fourth, magiging "formal" ang event ko kung gagawin ko yun. seriously, i think that the essence of a debut is more than having to dance with men after they gave you something. for me, the essence of a debut is showing everyone that you are mature enough to be called a lady. maturity that you acquired from the lessons you have learned. 'kay?

kanya-kanyang perception lang 'yan. SMILES!
