The Visa Experience

Should have, would have, could have: the past that could not go back to Hypothetically speaking and deep language arises to shallow, as I state that this blog post should have been posted last 31 August 2012, but since my (un)consistent self of free time did not allow me to think of posting one blog post, here it is: I had to wake up around 5:30 on a Friday morning because of one thing: it's my Visa Interview day! My schedule was at 9:00AM, so my Dad and I decided to leave the house at 7. Just about the half of the expressway, we were already stuck in parking lot traffic. My Dad was so stressed and kept telling me that we should have had left a little more early. When the stress happened, my already nervous self, became more stressed and nervous as ever. My Dad decided to switch paths and had gone through Pasay instead of passing through Manila, which is a genius idea (I must say). We reached the Embassy around 8:30AM, just in time to breathe before the schedule.

Honorable Mention

I seriously thought that I did not make it, but I guess my calculations were wrong. HAHA Achieved!  Thank you Lord, so much blessings, so little time. :D

Internship

While this surreal feeling is abundant in my chest, let me write this down because this feeling would never happen again because... ... I passed my first ever job interview in my whole life! and it's just not even a compromised job that I would take if ever I lose all my hopes up. lol I honestly didn't felt that nervous before the interview because I only had little intentions of going through this job (I, honestly, just tried it out of sheer blue), but I guess, God gave me what's best for me (hopefully). And I will be forever grateful if this pushes through. But then, I don't want to jinx it because I still have another (terror-ed) interview to pass! Thank you Lord for giving me this blessing! :D

Just from a gelatin and a tummy rub drink

Can I just say that my Mom makes the greatest things! She made this yakult + gelatin experiment, which tastes so good especially if you're a yakult fanatic like me. And with that Mom, who would not look up to her greatness, humility and strength; imagine handling a business, a husband, 3 insane kids, and employees; who's, not to mention, dependent on her. MY GULAY life as a Mom is so tiring, but she still pursues to be one - never retiring. I could never imagine life without her. I love you! :D

Forever Jerjer

It's been a while since I had an awesome time with people, by just having a wholesome talk with the perfect cup of milk tea with tapioca pearls. It's been God-knows-when since the last time I got to spend my afternoon with my dear friend, Jerlyn. The meet-up plan started when she posted a status update in twitter saying... I was in continual craving for any milk tea that I began to retweet her tweet. I do not know how it all started, (my mind does not permit to tell for the moment) but somewhere in our tweets, my other friend- Joanna (hi B!) asked us to meet up for tea all together. I was talking to a dear friend on the phone while this was all happening, so I did not quite catch up and get to reply quick. Just when I knew it, they were all planning on really meeting up after getting our course cards (I am a dean's lister, once again! Hooray! \:D/).  After countless times of texting each other where we were and what we were doing, finally, the meet-up plan push...

What I am after? Achieved!

These days are the most wonderful days of my life. Well, as I have noticed a lot of people are making me happy. I guess I had this conclusion in mind because I know that I have been happy without them, as well. It feels so good to wake up in the morning with no burden in my chest. Like everything could be handled with just a smile in my face. I know I still have a bit of a grudge towards some people, but eventually, when  my mind passed on with that thinking, it ends up not thinking of it at all-- resulting to happiness. I believe in the saying, "Once you give love, you'll get love.", because I've been feeling quite loved because I exert an effort to show love and care with other people. It's such a wonderful feeling, and I have been wondering, why the hell did I show this now? I should have been more loving and caring before, but I guess time and experience of life, put me, just now, for a reason. I'm constantly ranting about whatever it is in my mind r...

The Past #simplethings

Posting something random! My friend Spica asked me a question at formspring.me. She asked me the question above, and I answered it. After that, I browsed the home button just because.. then I saw this. Spica asked all her followers kasi , so eventually same questions. The one who answered was my HS ultimate! :D Read the answer he had about 'how he met Spica?'. That is why I clicked the smiled button! Haha! I dunno but, it just made me smile because I remembered the past. I used to be sooooooo dead-na-dead about him. Hahaha! It just makes me laugh every time I remember what I usually do. Don't worry, he knows that I used to like him. lol Well, anyway, that's just it.  I wish you well, ultimate!

Spark 2011 and Photographer's Ball

Image
So as a week ender and my last event for the week, Patt and I attended the Spark 2011 and Photographer's Ball yesterday at SMX. The workshop started at 3PM, but before that Patt and I got lost finding were that would be held inside SMX. Turns out it was held inside the main venue together with the shops. FAIL! Haha! Anyway, from 3-6PM there were invited speakers to have a 5 minute talk about his/her life as a photographer. Actually, every speaker has a different approach and spoke about different niches from the photography world. There were those who discussed about their photography specialties, while others just discussed about the in's and out's of photography. Anyone would be finding their own identities through each speaker. Truly speaking, 5 minutes ain't enough for a talk about anyone's passion. So the speakers were really pressured, but some actually extended their time because they got carried away. Hihi  Boudoir Dolls, who focuses...

Happy 100 years La Salle!

So yesterday was the official day to celebrate the hundredth year, Lasallian brothers went to the country. To commemorate this day, there was an event at De La Salle University. That's Kim and Nicole beside me. But first in my list, I had to go and attend an event at MAFBEX. So I went to PAL to have lunch with Nicole and my new found friend, Kim. They toured me around the building and the building was humongous! There were a lot of space vacant and it seems like there were a lot of paths that leads to somewhere.  lol She welcomed us! Shakey's bus inside WTC. Amazzzzing! A shop inside MAFBEX. Animo La Salle! Utak Berde's cake! Go Joanna, Alay, Neiza, Dianne! Green Minded's cake! Go Ezza and group mates! ;) After having lunch, we went straight to MAFBEX, which was just beside PAL. I wasn't impressed with today's MAFBEX. There weren't enough people and I got disappointed with the shops. Oh well. The...

I had been lost, but now I have been found. Thank God!

Another tiring day has past. I spent 12 hours of my day in school yesterday, and that involves going through different buildings and establishments. So one of my errands took me to go to the Main building to get my.. Graduation Pictures! Creative Shot! hihi The pictures were camera shots only, since I don't have a scanner. Sorry! From the graduation picture to the creative shot, I like the creative better. I don't really like seeing myself in any formal scenarios. So should I say I am more informal? DUH. (Graduating rant soon.) After the trips to main, Nicole, Patt and I went to eat at Jolibee since we're in a strict budget. Well, I don't really have a 'budget' but I have to lessen my expenses since there are a lot of events happening this week. I'll be blogging all about it when it happens. ;) After having lunch, we went to SDA building because Nicole wanted to go there and buy a centennial shirt *wink *wink (here's one of t...

Pwede ka namang sumigaw sa mukha ko.

Wag Na - Kristine Cecilia Due to some circumstances such as boredom and inspiration, I recorded myself while singing the first song that pop-ed in my head. I am no professional or good singer, so don't you ever hate me. Hating means something low, so don't. lol I can't find sites that can host an upload for music only, so I just went to Movie Maker and had a cat to represent me singing. Last night I saw a cute cat/ kitten and that inspired me to put a picture of a cat. Actually the cat/ kitten looks like the one in the video, so now you could imagine. Hihi This is the first time I posted something like this, so be nice to me. It ain't perfect. It's been a while since I used my voice, and you know what? This recording made me think of using my voice once again. Is it good? Ehhhh! I'm shy. lol

Embrace changes! Shouldn't everyone?

Yesterday, without proper planning, my mom hired our laundry ladies to help clean the house. I was not warned before hand, so I did not have proper mind thinking. They started out with the old room, in which I used to stay in. After an hour, they switched to my room and cleaned every side of it. This gave me a thought to reassemble the parts of my room. From the usual bed-near-the-window-with-its-broken-bed-board , it was switched around like the photos below. Still needs a bit of styling though! The bed now lies facing the window and beside the door. I removed the old-nasty-broken bed boards and just revived my old mattress. I have been trying to persuade my parents to buy me a new bed. ;)  These are all the clothes and junk hidden on that old room, I used to reside in. Look at all those clothes! Looks like garbage in some point? But can be someone's treasure. Last night, we kind-of-like held a garage sale , Ehh!, it was a Terrace sale. ...
