A recap for the past month

Hey! Well as promised I'll make a new entry for today. here we go!



So. Today's the 30th of April. Let's do a recap of all the activities i did for the month of April shall we? :)


Before that. *listens to Sara Bareilles' Brave* Totally such a cool song.


Okay let's start.

A recap of all the activities and events that happened for the month of April.

Let's start with March 31st (technically i consider March 31st as my birthday already 'cause it's the day before my birthday.)

March 31st. My whole family celebrated multiple celebrations. My cousin's graduation. And my birthday. And lots more birthdays to come.


Okay. So that's it. We were there at Shangrila Restaurant for a multiple celebration. March 31st. My cousin's graduation and following my birthday the next day. My cousins also had a sleep over at my house for two days that time.


Okay! So. April 1st! My birthday! Lots of things happened that day, well of course, I turned 17 :D

So. The first thing that happened. My bestfriend and I met at 8 in the morning to play badminton (unfortunately, we don't have any photos while playing) 

After playing badminton we went to technohub to celebrate my birthday :) 
 There. We ate at Yellowcab that day 'cause it's my birthday! :D

After eating at yellowcab we had our goodbyes with my bestfriend that day. I soo want to hug her that day XD

That day afterwards, I got a cool looking cupcake in a box that looked like this. it's so cute! my bestfriend's mum sent it to me as a gift :) Thank you po! :D

 Looks cute isn't it? :) There. It's totally cute :3 It's my birthday so it's really special ;3

Here's a series of the foods i ate that time :3
There's also Mcdonalds 'cause that evening too, we called Mcdonalds to deliver us series of foods.

Want proof? Here. :D


It's totally amazing. My cousins and I were eating Mcdonalds late in the evening.

After all the fun eating Mcdonalds, we all watched tv and did few picture takings.

 Like that one. Aaahh fond memories. It was really an amazing birthday for me, actually 'cause i had a great time with my friends and my family, of course.

Next day! April 2nd :) My bestfriend and I had a jogging session. The first session for our slimming project :D

We jogged at UP for the first time and look! Her shirt's definitely stunning :3
An Okay. Okay. Shirt! Totally cool :D

So, we jogged at UP that time, we even saw an actress, Glaiza de Castro if i'm not mistaken :3 We even looked ridiculous 'cause we had bags with us. We were like, laughing so much.


*got a long time before typing another word, i was watching You Who Came From the Stars. Give it some love! I've been watching that drama since March, and it has a replay on channel 12, so yeah.*


Anyway. let's proceed. April 2nd. We went jogging, So, it was absolutely a great experience.

Hmmm do I have to say all the dates? Yeah of course.
April 3rd. Hmmm what exactly happened that day? 'Twas a Thursday so, nothing much happened. 'cause we were at church that day.

April 4th. Let me see. Did we jog that day? i think we did. LOLS. We had lots of jogging sessions this April so i can't even remember the dates when we took photos. But we did lots of jogging sessions this April.




Those are series of photos we took when we had our jogging sessions :) The last one, that was Monday last week, 21st of April. We didn't 'cause we were so busy jogging and we ate afterwards, so we didn't get to take some pictures.
Well anyway, this whole April i got to work out for my slimming project. Turns out i did well. We did jogging sessions almost everyday. I worked out. Zumba at home. 30-min cardio work outs.


There. I was working out at home that time. Look at that sweat! (:

So. What other things did i do this whole April aside from jogging everyday? Actually i spent the whole April by means of getting slim.

There was also a time when my cousins had another week of sleeping over at my house. We all talked about watching a movie the next day.
So that evening, they slept over at my house again. We all ate and took pictures.





Yeah. We all had a great time again. That was the week after my birthday i think.

The next day! It was Tuesday that day (a week after my birthday I guess)
We all had a jogging session all of us cousins at UP.

We woke up so early that time and all of them were following my league since i jog at UP everyday.
After jogging we rested for a while then we went to the mall to watch the movie 'Diary ng Panget.'

The movie was awesome by the way (:

After all those fun, we all went home, then they all went home to their houses.

Then jogging sessions came in again.

I guess this whole month of April we did.. more than a dozen jogging sessions. Everyday i had 30-min cardio workouts. and zumba sessions.


So. What happened next? Aside from jogging everyday.

We had our real summer vacation! With the whole family! (:

We went to Zambales for a 3-day vacation last 'Holy week.' took some photos, selfies and cool photos :3 We had fun swimming that time :D









There! A few of the photos we took at our vacation at Zambales :3 Pardon that weird-looking Mister. LOL


After our Zambales trip we all took a week-long rest. And jogging sessions happened again.


But it was the week where we had out last session. We went to Zambales 2 weeks ago. Last week, something happened thats why we stopped our jogging session.


So after that. We're all good now. The next event. The Book signing! The big event at MOA!












Those above are like, a compilation of the events that happened last Friday and last Saturday. Like i told you from my last post. We went to the signing event, which is, FULL OF GLORY.



It was definitely a great month. April was so awesome. Full of memories, now i can say, i enjoyed the first half of the summer so far. How 'bout this coming May? Gee. I sure can't wait!


So this wraps up my recap from the whole month of April. Tomorrow will be May 1st. Which will start with my church duty. Oh and tomorrow's my dad's birthday.

Tomorrow's May 1st! The start of a new month! New things will happen! April has been a great month for me i'll say that. I totally enjoyed the first half of my summer (: And, i must do these recaps more often. :D I started with my birth month, April. I'll continue making recaps every end of the month (:



Happy happy to my dad! May God continue to bless my dad with more health and long life. I love you, Daddy. Thank you for everything! <3





So, this wraps my recap for the whole month of April :) 'Til the next time! :D



Thank you April for the wonderful memories! (: May. I'll see you soon! (:


PILGRIMS.

Happenstance

These days i haven't been sleeping, staying up all the time doing stuff.

You know to be honest, i'm kinda distracted right now because of Taylor Swift 'cause i'm listening to her song 'Red'.

These past few days have been so great. But i'll make a spoiler. That tomorrow, 30th of April would be the last day of the month of April. I'll make a new entry tomorrow.

So, i dont know how to begin this with, but it's been a great week.
 Start with Friday. It was the time when something big happened. 'Cause the next day there's this big event at MOA. So, friday afternoon, i packed my stuff because we'll be checking in at a hotel near MOA, Microtel hotel to be exact. It's actually inside the MOA itself. It's very near from SMX Convention Center and from Mall of Asia Arena, oh and MOA Eye, the big ferris wheel.
So the hotel was absolutely comfy and it looks good. Especially the pool from the rooftop.
We arrived at the hotel at 2PM friday afternoon. So, we stayed there. And then at the suite, i was watching a replay of volleyball.

After that, my sister and I went to MOA itself to buy food, pizza, pasta, chicken and stuff. We were even planning to stay at Starbucks that time.

After a stroll at the mall, we went back to the hotel. Then we watched a drama series.

After that we went night swimming at the rooftop of the hotel, it was definitely a great time.

The next day, it was the big event. I woke up early in the morning, but you know what? there's another big event that day. Saturday, April 26th.

'cause here's the back story. Friday, my friends have been texting me if i'll be attending THE FANSIGNING EVENT THAT'LL HAPPEN ON 26TH. And the book signing event was held at the Glorietta Activity Center. Friday. My friends texted me, that time i wasnt yet sure if i'm gonna go or not. So we all waited.
Saturday the day itself. After the big event at MOA, my friends texted me again. But then again, my parents allowed me 'cause i only forced them.

So, Saturday, it was the signing event. To be specific, it was Tahereh Mafi, Ransom Riggs, Veronica Rossi who did a signing event at Glorietta that day. (I CAME THERE ACTUALLY.)

So, the registration for that day was 10AM, but that time, i was still at the hotel swimming at the rooftop, eh you need to be early whenever you go to a signing 'cause lots of people would definitely go.

We checked out of the hotel at about 12:25PM. I was kinda in a hurry that time.
When we arrived at glorietta it was 1:00. We even got lost for 4  mins but then again the Activity Center was the center part of the mall itself.

I found my friends there and they're all from Cahill philippines itself :D



Proof. That i went to the event.



It was a great time at Glorietta that time. I really had a great time. I finally got to meet the Cahills :D



 Me at the hotel last friday night, reading 'Stainless Longganisa' by Bob Ong. I took a selfie anyway.

That was me at the swimming pool at the hotel rooftop. :3


This was at the hotel rooftop too, i took a selfie 'cause the ambiance was totally epic.






I WENT TO THIS EVENT. And look at the people who were there! A sea of people indeed. I'm part of it.



Sisterly love at the hotel elevator. HAHAHAHA.



So anyway, let's proceed.

Sunday, nothing much happen 'cause i'm always busy with my church duties every Sunday.

But you know what? Something different happened starting last Sunday.

I noticed something different.


My bestfriend, well, she's actually changing na. I noticed that.

Last time we had an argument 'cause she noticed i 'WAS' changing.

But i didn't. Ever since the argument we stopped jogging. AND yesterday, (it was Monday yesterday) we totally stopped jogging.


She kept telling me she's too sleepy to wake up early to jog. ( I MEAN SERIOUSLY, YOU'RE NOT LIKE THAT THE PAST FEW WEEKS. AFTER OUR ARGUMENT YOU CHANGED YOUR PLANS)

So, we didn't jog yesterday. I also asked her last night if we'll be jogging today she said no with the SAME REASON. (I'm not mad actually, i'm just noticing the new thing that happened, and the changes that are occuring)

So we didn't jog today, this morning. Last night we talked about meeting, but she texted me when i was about to leave 'cause it was raining so hard yesterday (which i presume stopped before I left, so i guess she had time to prepare again what's the problem with that) She apologized again for not being able to meet up with me.

To be honest, i'm kinda disappointed.

But i just held it all in. I'm not the kind of person who gets mad that easily with just small faults.

That evening, i messaged her again, then she apologized to me, i guess she also sensed that i'm not feeling great last night, so she apologized again. But i really was disappointed that i tried to ignore her messages at first.

But i still made myself to use :) even though i'm not in a good mood.


So anyway, we didn't jog yesterday morning, nor this morning. She also told me that we'd be jogging tomorrow. So i had kinda high hopes, but to tell you the truth, i had a strong feeling she'll postpone it again.

So this evening, just hours ago, we met 'cause we both went to church.
While at the vehicle, i asked her 'So.... are we gonna jog tomorrow?'


Then there it was. The answer i'm actually expecting.

She postponed it. I actually forgot the reason why she postponed it but i guess it was the same reason. She just laughed at my expression 'cause i WAS smiling that time.

She told me that we'll be jogging next week. 'Cause i asked her again if we'd go jogging again. Then i told her 'let's not jog anymore'. but she said 'next week, i promise we'll go jogging again'.

I'll keep that in mind. I'm not that dumb to not notice anything weird happening here.


But seriously, i noticed she's changing. She may be changing physically, a good change, but i guess she also changed her attitude. I don't like what this is going into.


I should confront her soon. And i should tell her that she still has two of my books for months now. On the other hand she was asking me and we had a small argument 'bout the book she gave me 'cause i wasnt reading it yet. I was like. What about my books? have you read 'em yet? It's been with you for months now.


I don't know. I'm feeling something different here. I hope she doesn't totally change 'cause when she does, oh so help me i'll definitely be honest. To tell you the truth nobody has ever seen me go mad before. I mean, mad mad. Only my sister and my cousins. But seriously, when i get mad, oh i swear, you'll go hiding under your blanket. 'Cause when i get mad, i go violent.


Anyway her physical changing was kind of a good thing 'cause i always give her compliments like she's getting prettier. and no joke, her outfit this evening was so gorg. 'Twas a corporate attire actually.



Nah. i don't really know. I'll be honest and upfront so soon.

I'll ask her 'bout my books maybe on Thursday.

I kid around with her last night, telling her 'you weren't avoiding are you? (with laughter)'

she said 'of course not!' (of course you weren't, i'm just making sure.)


Okay. Never mind. Sorry. I was just letting go all my disappointment out here. This is a public diary if i may remember.


But so far, so good. Events are great. May is coming so soon, it's on the corner. Tomorrow i'll make another entry, I wont tell.




So, yeah. Oh and Obama's state visit yesterday was totally cool. You know? I kept watching his state visits everywhere. And you know what? his coolest state visit was when he visited Japan and Korea last week. Totally cool.


Well, the state visit he did was kind of like related to the course i'm in.


SO, yeah.



I guess i have to stop here for now. I already told y'all the events that happened to me for the past few days. Tomorrow i promise, i'll make a new entry. Which is CLASSIFIED.


Actually, i don't really know why I titled this as 'Happenstance' to be honest, i just got fascinated with the word i even looked it up in the dictionary. And besides, lots of things happened to me, so i guess that's worth of a title.



Anyway. I just can't help myself.


I have a new guy in particular.
A new guy i'm having interest with, a nerdy-looking American guy. But take note. this one's straight he's not gay unlike Tyler :3

He's a musician. He's Alex Goot. <3


 Yeah. Definitely him. He's freakin handsome!




So, let's see the other side of the road, I have Tyler Oakley, and I have Alex Goot. Which is totally amazing.


I'm gonna be reading more books before school starts. I don't want tech to be the one who'll destroy my book-worm-ish-ness.



Girls' Generation had their 3rd Japanese tour last April 26th. THE SAME DAY WHEN THE SIGNING EVENT HAPPENED. TOTALLY FULL OF GLORY.



I am soooo into english songs these days.




My little brother's been away for a week now. I'm so sorry i wasn't able to pick up your phone calls, i was not at home that time.



I missed my phone so much i've been suffering without a phone for 3 weeks now. I don't know why my parents dont even allow me to buy a new phone, which totally SUCKS. They can just buy me a new one than repair my phone.


It just sucks.

Here i am again.



I'm starting to feel disappointment all over.


Ugh.


Better listen to The Vamps.



I'll leave for real.


Tomorrow again.

Monday, April 21, 2014

I can't think of a good title. So technically this is my title.

*listens to Mr. Mr. for like 10 times today.*


First off.


Hallo! I'm back again for more awesomeness to bring you. Sorry to keep you waiting. (I'm kinda pretending like i have listeners and viewers, I'm pretending like a talk show host. LOL) I told you guys before that i'll post a new entry after 2 days. It was April 15th that time when i last posted an entry, the two days i promised turned into 6 days. I'm quite sorry 'bout that.


Wow, how time flies. It felt like it was just yesterday when i was getting excited and ready to turn 17. The time when my cousins went to my house to have a sleep over. The time when my other cousin graduated highschool after finishing his 4 years studying ministry. And the time when my youngest cousin graduated elementary. It was March 31st that time. And we ate at Shangrila Restaurant. Oh how time flies so fast.



*eats scrambled egg as breakkie while typing my entry*

Anyway, i'm here to bring more stories 'bout my experiences for the past 6 days after I last posted with the title 'Awesome experiences.' And so today, i can't think of a decent title for my entry. I've been searching the dictionary to find difficult words, the deep english words that you don't usually use in conversational english.

As usual i still have jogging sessions with my buddy. This morning we had another jogging session. We had 2 laps so far non-stop. And believe me or not, we saw Heart Evangelista, a Philippine actress while jogging at U.P this morning.

Of course i do all the best i can to be physically fit, i wouldn't want next school year to stay fat or chubby. That's why i started my jogging sessions last April 2nd, the day after my birthday.

Today's April 21st. oh wow. ang bilis talaga ng panahon. (if you want to know what that other language meant, look it up on google translate, i'm a filipino/aussie/arabian dude)

last April 16th, 'twas my sister's birthday. But alas, we did nothing at home, we just slept, and did the usual hobbies we do, like watch tv, clean the house, sleep, eat. t'was funny though. but my dad brought home a cake for her and we just celebrated it like that, no more, no less.

April 17th. Hmmm what did i do that time? It was a Thursday. nothing really happened that time. So let's proceed. Oh wait, something happened pala. That night, 17th of April we packed our stuff 'cause it's Maundy Thursday for the catholic, Holy Week pala ng Catholics last week i remember. That night, we packed our stuff 'cause we'll be heading to Zambales to have a 3-day vacation. Turns out t'was enjoyable.


I still looked fat there. But that's me at the beach. Last Friday morning ;) 


We were at Zambales for 2 1/2 days, 'cause we arrived our destination it was 1AM Friday morning. We left Manila at exactly 9:30PM, 17th of April. 


April 18th. T'was Jessica's birthdaaaay! OH AND TO BE CLEAR. I'm talking about Jessica Jung of Girls' Generation. She's 24 now technically 25 in Korea.

Again, belated happy birthday Jessica! :)


Oh and the stuff I did last April 18th? We were still in zambales having fun that time. That time also, we were just at a large space in a house we were staying at, my cousins and i, we were all just having a good time, chit-chatting, telling stories, laughing and taking photos while enjoying the fine windy summer breeze.

Oh, that's me and my cousin :D


That night, of April 18th my tita, and a bunch of my cousins, we were at that large space at the house, we WATCHED THE WALKING DEAD. WE FINISHED THE WHOLE SEASON 1 AND WE WERE SCREAMING AND 'TWAS INTENSE. WE SLEPT AT 12AM 'CAUSE WE LIKE, FINISHED THE WHOLE SEASON. IT'S UNBELIEVABLY AMAZING.



I'm really into The Walking Dead these days. It's freakin' AWESOME!!!!



April 19th, hmm nothing much happened that time except we went home back to Manila, but on our way home we had our stop-overs. We stopped-over at Subic bay freeport zone, and then there's the Nike Outlet store i entered. I bought a new shirt for my jogging session. It's a cute black shirt with 'Nike' in it. It's actually cheap for it's price though. It's only 795 :D



April 20th. Hmmm what happened yesterday? Hmmm not much really, i'm at church the whole day yesterday. But last night, i've been saving photos of my guyfriend, Tyler Oakley from his Instagram account. So far i have 283 photos out of 1,719 photos. I really admire that guy. I'm one of his people. Out of 1.6 million followers on IG, i am one of 'em :D






Those were some of the photos. Seriously. HE'S FREAKIN' AMAZING. OH AND I LOVE HIS STYLE, HIS FASHION, EVERYTHANG ABOUT HIM :D



April 21st. Today! :D So far, the awesome thing that happened was that i had a jogging session with my buddy this morning :) too bad we didn't take any selcas but that's okay ^_^



Hmmmm what else? I'm still into retro photography these days but i'm kinda more on with Tyler for now.
I have to earn more money to buy a bicycle. I REALLY WANT A BICYCLE THAT BAD.

*i'm still eating scrambled eggs and drinking a soda while typing this*


Hmmm what else? well actually i'm updated with Girls' Generation parin, they'll be having their 3rd Japanese Tour this April :3



Hmmmm another thing. Me and my little brother are okay na :D YAY! We're back to normal, we talk alot of stuff, oh how i missed that. :3 YAY little bro! :D



Oh and another additional detail. I missed Vannie calling me at home on my landline. -_- I missed him. D'aaaww :(



Well, actually i don't know anything else to say 'cause i'm talking to someone on facebook, and i'm like listening to Mr. Mr. for like 20 times over now.


And i'm already distracted.


I guess i'll be back sooner than you think again. :3


Wait for me.



PILGRIMS.
