6th post: Certified FUN

Today is such a big, awesome, and tiring but fun day. It's because did a lot of activities this day!

Early this morning, I woke up and got some choco drink to warm up. Then I, together with my cousin, did morning routine - I go walking etc. etc.. But this time we went to UPV's ocean observatory and swam at the beach so nice - no garbage, few rocks, and no other people that roam around! We swam on our hearts' content, until the morning rays of lights got so hot. then of we went home.

After rinsing and eating our breakfast, we helped our tita, together with ate hana, to fix the garden. We worked under the super hot rays of sun. But "working so hard will pay you good profit" because in the afternoon we will go out the nearby establishments to have fun!

First stop: Seafdec's "Fish World", a museum where you can see different types of fishes that you don't usually see! For the first time, I saw a Lobster. They were big and the one that mesmerized me a lot were those gigantic milk fishes!  who knew that they will go that big?a size of a 6 year-old child! can you imagine?! They were really REALLY HUMONGOUS! They weren't your average milk fish that you usually see in the wet sections in the market. They were really big! It's because they lay eggs and it took them 6 years before laying eggs. One of the in-charge there told us that those milk fishes were already 16-30 years old!

Next stop: Racso's mini zoo and park, I was really excited to go there. It was my first official zoo trip! My first zoo trip wasn't official, i was just drag to go there its because my family attended a birthday party. The "El Nonok Zoo" was just few meters away from the house of the birthday celebrant. There, I only saw a baby wild pig, a Featherless peacock, and bunch of cut-off horns deers- no more, no less. The second was still unofficial, that happen when I was on high school during our retreat at "Durian Park" at Polomolok. Durian Park was also a mini zoo with a couple of ostrich, parrots and some weird birds (which I don't know XD), rabbits, and a  couple more of monitor Lizard (which I'm so familiar with) and the butterfly garden.

I was really looking forward to go to Racso's because of the zoo. i found different types of snakes, lizards, even dogs and cats. I also saw some fishes that wasn't available at Fish World and I was really excited to see a real live crocodile and a lot more. After the sight seeing, we proceeded to their pool! - a time to cool down again a little bit because of the very hard and hot work under the mighty sun earlier. With the accompanying rain, it was so cold. Then time for us to depart, to go home after all the fun experiences. The last phrase that I utter was:

"after a rain there's a rainbow"

PS: jep-jep was my camera man! He don't like to take pictures of himself. for more pictures just visit my facebook profile.

5th Post: Feelings and Trust

There will be a time that people will lose trust in you

4th post: Believe

 What if people stop on Believing? --- Believing to what they want. Believing to to their own faith, and believing to who they were suppose to be?

Sometimes, I'm barely hanging on to my own faith. There was a time (all the time) that I asked myself why? What? Where? - Why am I doing this? what is happening to me, is this the right path? how would i survive? where is this path going to?... and a lot more questions in mind! I keep on Hanging on,Believing to myself that i could face this challenges of life with the help of my faith to our GOD and someone helping to go and movie on.

Living a life is really a great big challenge to each and everyone of us! There will be Ups and Downs, Wrong or Right, Left Turn or Right Turn, but if you have faith and you keep on believing you will be ok with the help of your prayers to guide you and your family and friends to give you a hand and some inspiration everything will turn out just fine, but if you don't have faith and stop believing to your self, to what you should believe as you keep on hating, your life is a total garbage.

Life is like a game, you will decide how you will play it, what is your STRATEGY to win and who will be there as your back up, your comrades! always know that you are not alone!

3rd post: Young Dream

It's been my dream to be a writer because I believe in myself! Like what I wanted to say to those people who feels that they were stopped by someone to follow their dreams `there are no boundaries, no force field that will stop you from your dream, to stop you from what you wanted!` I should apply these quote to my life. My Mom once told me to join the campus journalism as a photographer, but we still don't have a camera that is our own that time and if we were using one, it belongs to my mom`s school

I just started Blogging to post my thoughts, my very own articles online, anybody can read my articles ‘cause in the Internet its free and again, everyone, anybody can see it. Now I got a camera (YAY!) to post some of my photos. My tita and my sister praise me for the photos I took this navigational trip that we had and I know I just got to write something with those photos and the photos shown are my pride, not that perfect, but its awesome!!

These `badiaos` from Cagayan De Oro do there bargain on sea by a boat. They sell an ashtray and other products of seashells like necklace that's really a work of art!

A Glorious Sunrise at Cagayan De Oro

Here comes the sun!

The sun's coming out!

I love sunrise, so I took a photo of them!

Once, there was a need for new set of writers at school. I`m eager to join but Fear and Shyness overpowered me and stop me. I`m really a shy type person, although, some people think I'm not but i really do!, and I`m afraid to be laughed by what I do! I`m afraid if my critics will criticize something that I'm not and besides this will be my first audition to write something, and they really need a SKILLED writers and I`m just a newbie, an amateur. I don`t really had an experience! I really lack of confidence --- I really don`t know why I lack confidence. I talk too much --- I did stage plays, recitals but still I lacked confidence. I always think negative, which is really not helpful! There was one time that I sang a duet, and it’s a competition, no other choice for a partner that's why they choose me! I`m excited to sing but when the competition was fast approaching, I`m really planning to back out! My fear and shyness type of personality was already there to stop me, but no time to back out now, the competition will happen on the next day! yes I could still remember that time! I was tease because i got these scars on my feet and I’m really ashamed of these scars of mine and they say that I will look ridiculous on tomorrows` competition! well I really feel bad about it!, crying in silence!, nobody knows in my family that I will join a competition like that because that was a camping activity held by the school every year. Everything just turned out fine! We didn't won but we ended up 1st place. My first public performance and I didn't fail! But still, the TEASING didn't stop! i really don't know why those people make my life miserable! I really don`t know if they where really my friends! ‘cause friends are suppose to be there for you always!!! ALWAYS---- not to bring you down!!!

All those teasing they do to me, just makes me STRONGER!, ’cause "every time you try to bring me down, i will be rising from the ground like a SKYSCRAPER" - (courtesy: Demi Lovato) and always THINK POSITIVE and it will lead to something you wanted to be, something better than what you think!

2nd post: Writing Songs,Move to Iloilo, Missing My Friends!

My BFF Charie <3

My other BFF Kryztle <3

Few months ago, I started writing songs where I could put my thoughts in mind and what I feel on a rhyme. I had written like 10 songs already but i don't know if i could put it on a record cause i have no guitar and my guitar skills, still "in development". but I already got the rhythm on my mind. I studied playing guitar last summer along with my sisters ( i studied guitar they studied how to play piano, actually j-aye knows how to play piano, she just need  to improve her skills and ate love "reboot" her skills at it, her last time playing the piano was when she was on her elementary days). we studied at our lolo Berto and lola Conching's house and our teacher is uncle Bebot. We studied for a few weeks then i receive a call from my mom (that time she was in Iloilo, she has attended a conference) that i will go here at Iloilo to study here at one of the most Prestigious and the first maritime University in Asia, John B. Lacson Foundation Maritime University and I took up the BS Marine Engineering course that the school offer. yes its hard but fun!, new society, etc. but i feel homesick!. i miss my friends (i'm glad that one of my Best Friend studied here at Iloilo but in different University, and 2 of my close friends studied here also!) and when i start "memory flash back" i remember all the things in the past that we do together, i still cry, especially all those fun times, all the hard times! all those memories from our Feast day, Recollection,Retreat, special days and most especially on our Prom and Graduation day!and what we do during practice in our celebration of "Buan ng Wika" and Intramurals we're always having fun together, facing challenges together and a whole lot more!

life must go on! we are facing right now our own future! who we're going to be! but still, we are connected, CONNECTED AS ONE! we're still friends! FRIENDS FOREVER!!
