Thanksgiving/23rd birthday of your Highness! **late post

“When you’re having fun, you feel great and you receive great things! Having fun brings the life you want…” — Rhonda Byrne

I'm just so thankful with these blessings, We know for a fact that i really prayed hard just to pass the NLE. and finally.. here it is.. JULY 8,2013-- an answered prayer. And yes, I just turned 23 last August 6.

Well yes, Folks! time flies.. before i was just a pretty bummer but now I still can't believe that i'm already a registered Nurse. :) ok.. enough for that.. i knew that I already said everything on my last Blog post.

Thinking back my August last year.. i know and some people knew that I'm so down last year.. that HABAGAT moments, heartbreak and so on.. Lots of things happened to me this month... i just don't know if i'm gonna be that happy because we all know that i lost a special friend. But on the other side, I mustn't quit i should've remain strong right? Everything happens for a reason and that reason would be the only way on how you can handle things the way it would be. (:

There is quite like a birthday to remind me how lucky i am for having such an amazing friends like them in my life. Thank you for celebrating with me on my 23rd Birthday :) It was really an amazing one! you knew it right? I'm just so so so happy being with these circle of friends. sersly swear!

define almost there!!! THIS! :)) i thought we're gonna be complete. or should i say kinda complete since we knew that there's one who got away! CHARAUGHT! :))) **from L-R --imak,me,jayson and jeca! mjhey and kevin are missing! we're gonna be complete! soon! MEET FRENELYNS 101! 

i'm just so blessed and thankful that i celebrated my another year of life with them. :) NOTE: konti lang po talaga ang pictures ko with my family kasi ako ang may pa event kaya ang focus na visitors! :))

I wish me all the happiness and blessings in life. THANK YOU LORD! 

My birthday just would not be the same without your warm and loving wishes. Thank you so much for all of them.

Meet the National "BOOM TEAM"

I cannot even imagine where I would be today were it not for that handful of friends who have given me a heart full of joy.Let's face it,friends make life a lot more fun. 

--Charles R. Swindoll

meet the whole NATIONAL SECTION ft. THE ULTIMATE SIR CARL and our very own Review Ambassador JACOB, ooops. *with whole respect* SIR JACOB :)

Reviewing here in Batangas was my choice. But I don't even expect that i'll be reviewing at CBRC. 

Yes, at first I'm a bit nervous since I didn't know anybody, as in no one. I was like a BUTTERFLY together with FROGS! :))) *peace. may masabi lang*  Seated at the back seat for about  3 days, i guess? no one cares to talk or even seat beside me. wth.. Am i that ugly for that? :)) And then one time i met this  girl named BABYLYN DE CASTRO *actually my high school batchmate*, she's the first one who approached me.. oh well i was like "CAN I MAKE PAAMPON NA DYAN SAYO SA UNAHAN, WALA AKONG KASAMA!" lol

with SIR ROWEL. top *L-R, mckay, abby,sir rowel,kent and von*

GIRLS: L-R, camille, mariz,yours truly,arra and sheena 

"THE CHICHAWONG DUWOG DUWOG!"

And yes, as days, weeks and months goes by, I happened to be one of the LYCEANS! :) no, i'm not feeling close.. it's just the friendly attitude of mine! :) Though I'm not belong, I felt that aprreciation. *eewww arte ko!*  BOOM! MAKING THE MOST OUT OF IT! <3

MODEL?! meet my new found friends. ABBY AT JACOB (our R.A) i'm missing this two! Missed those laughter and criticisms? :)) and that CHICKEN SANDWICH? <3

almost 50% of the class :) same faces! boom :))) 

the another 25% from BSU :)

and those goodbye HUGS and KISSES from each and everyone. WE hate goodbyes.. For almost 3 months that we're together, sharing those crazing thoughts and laughter, foods and should I include those answers during exams? answers with wrong rationalizations? :)) 

I love this class .I'm not that kind of person who cries in front of everyone just because i will miss them. It just happened that this section made me feel that I'm not a type of person to be taken for granted I mean not knowing anybody or even they don't even know me.. they don't judge me as what others did. *no i'm not madrama, blog ko to bakit ba?*  :)))

THANK YOU SO MUCHHH GUYS. I HOPE ALL IS WELL, AND I HOPE TO SEE YOU AGAIN. i Enjoy being with your company. GRAB YOUR LICENSE!! :))))) HAVE FAITH... 

But what is the good of friendship if one cannot say exactly what one means? Anybody can say charming things and try to please and to flatter, but a true friend always says unpleasant things, and does not mind giving pain. Indeed, if he is a really true friend he prefers it, for he knows that then he is going good.
--Oscar Wilde

Reunited: HIGH SCHOOL FRIENDS

05.22.12

"Your friend is the man who knows all about you, and still likes you."  -- Elbert Hubbard

After more than  one year. YES WE'RE SO BACK!

--from L-R *boo,yours truly,my bief mk,val,mar,gerts and pipoy*

It's always a must to meet each other especially when my bief *MK* is here in Batangas coz' she's staying in Baguio. How I wish we were complete that day. MJ,JECA and DIVINE were not supposed to come coz' they're so busy? LOL

We just lunched out somewhere here in BOLO. 

Reminiscing High school memories was good. but talking about the PRESENT was the best! hahaha. 

i wish MJ, JECA and DIVINE was here!  MY GIRLS WILL ALWAYS BE MY GIRLS! :) 

I love being with this circle. I can say that i'm so blessed that I have this kind of friends. Sometimes, we forgot each other, i really don't know why. maybe because of LACK of COMMUNICATION, or should i say they're so BUSY? hmm? :)) but still we're now trying our best to bring back that kind of friendship! 

meet my bief! :) yah i know. we're super cute! LOL

--A real friend is one who walks in when the rest of the world walks out.-- Walter Winchell

I'm looking forward to be complete. again. :) soon?

La Ceferina's Restaurant : Mix Treat

"The belly rules the mind."  ~Spanish Proverb

This is how we bond. THE WAY OF EATING! :) 

I've been craving for LOMI since last last week, i guess? I really don't know why, maybe because my review mates keep on talking about LOMI or should i say i always hear them saying "TARA LOMI!" Since, I'm super tired today, I invited Rie- anne and Mark to eat fishballs somewhere, then I realized that I want Lomi. Mark told me that the new restaurant near them is serving that crazy delicious food! 

The restaurant was so cool at cute! THE BIG MODERN NIPA HUT INSPIRED! i think so? base on my observation! :))the ambiance, the place *though its along the road* and the crew! thumbs up!

JUMBO LOMI good for 4-5 servings *P100* very budget friendly! ang super worth buying! YUMMY! There's a lot of ingredients, unlike the other Lomi house. It seems like a special serving! swear, i'm not kiddin! you better try this!

served with a yummy soup? or should i say broth? naaaaa. i really don't know. HAHAHA. yummmm! 

from L-R *rie-anne, mark at yours truly! while waiting for Achel! we're so hungryyyyyyy! credits to ate *the waitress*  :) --- btw!Mark you look so horrible! LOL

Better try this. The restaurant was located along the raod at Manigbas- Bolo, Bauan, Batangas!

PS-- we'll try the other menus next times!

THERE'S MORE FOOD TRIPS TO COME WITH YOU GUYS! <3

It's our 2nd anniversary- GROUP 55

__________Group 55__________

Celebrating our Group/Friendship Anniversary every 14th of October.

I can say that this year was just a matter of BALANCE, or should i say UPs and DOWNs. Ye, you read it right. There's no perfect thing, relationship and even life. Do you agree? Yes. In our case, we tend to have some quarrels, as in. We know it's normal but this year was so so weird. As far as i can remember, we mutually harbored resentment for about 1 month? 2 months? Why? Because our group was divided into two groups, the first half (Tine, Anna, Rose Anne, Gerald, Ziq and yours Truly),and the second half (Audri, Francis, Gelli, Anne and Ruth). Since then, we had a lot of conflicts regarding about duty, "GALA" and most especially about attitudes. Well it's because we are accustomed with each other (separate groups huh). We, especially ME, don't even talk with my other group mates because of some matters. It's better not to speak up. But hey! we just realized that we're GROUP! we were made to be ONE! We fixed those problems, right time, mood and right place is all we need. i know you guys experienced same thing? But of course happy moments really stand out! :) LOVE. LOVE. LOVE

We celebrated VALENTINE'S DAY. We're just so happy because of what our boys did. We're so surprise! swear. hm? ya, though we already knew that this was gonna happened! It's the memory and effort that counts. (:

--THE GIRLALOO OF GROUP 55 anne wong and ruth was missing??? This year, we had a very memorable duty, as i said on my past blog! i was all our first time! HAHA! *evil laugh*

RUBY 1,2,3,4 with ALEJANDRO? haha. since we're bored and even know what to do! hell.! picture-picture! :) i looove it. I told them to put on my red lipstick! :)

Duty,food trip, hanging out with the whole group after duty (especially the heart to heart talk at padis! cheers!), overnight staying, sharing of thoughts, everything! It all happened. Oh before i forgot, OUR CHRISTMAS PARTY was the 2nd most memorable of all, all wishes was fully granted!

and the MOST MOST MEMORABLE OF ALL, we all graduated with flying colors. We're so proud of ourselves. and lastly i just wanna take this opportunity to CONGRATULATE them for PASSING THE NURSING BOARD EXAM. :) Ruth and I are next! :).

Though Audri and Tine are even far from us, It's not a hindrance to our friendship. Distance isn't a burden! They are just a FACEBOOK away! HAHA! I know that we can still be with each other soon.

I miss you so much group mates. And i so love you. Isn't it obvious? majority of my blogs are about you guys!

Happy Lemon

Actually, this was planned. After Noriter , we saw this HAPPY LEMON on the same blog site where Nortier cafe was blogged. Jens says that we should try this coz' its so famous! so, i said, "ok, lemme' try that milk tea thingy!" Happy Lemon is located at Promenade Greenhills, yes its too far from here! HAHAHA!!! so? "WALANG MALAYONG LUGAR SA TAONG GUTOM!" HAHA!

it was scheduled on friday (sept.30,2011),but since i went to MCU (thursday) and incidentally JENS was there too! He texted me, while I'm chatting with RONA. We decided to go that day! haha. We're not really prepared! our outfit was so so!!! hmp! nvm! haha.

When we came there, there's a lot of people inside, no available seats at all!! hmpp. BLOCKBUSTER?! haha! I want Lemon Yakult but its not available so I tried Yakult Green Tea. It tasted good. (LARGE-P85)

Rona tried Lemon Peppermint w/ Nata, I don't know if its good. haha. I didn't tasted it. Ask her! :) (LARGE-P80)

Jens tried their Best seller which is Green Tea w/ Rock salt cheese, i liked it! :) But if you're not a green tea drinker , i think you can't appreciate it. (LARGE-P90)

-----------------------

OH GUYS? are you HAPPY?! we're just enjoying the moments, while we're not yet BUSY!hahaha! till next time, our next stop is RUE BOURBON SALCEDO. :) WE HAD A LOT OF TIME BUT LACK OF MONEY! Let's start saving !!! :)

oooopppsssss: if you wanna see good looking people, you better go there! HAHAHA! :))) EHEM!

FAKE friend : REAL friend

This is my own Definition of FAKE and REAL friend.

Do you have Friends? How many are FAKE? How many are REAL? For me, I can say that number of true friends vary than those STUPID ones.

FAKE FRIEND:

This is the type of friend that makes effort to be your friend, but not for GOOD INTENTIONS. When you're with this kind of person, he shows a lot of kindness, concerns, advises, love, care etc. But despite of all the kindness and the like. They're are the one destroying you or should I say "back stabber" . This kind of person is very contagious. You'll never know, he/she keeps telling bad things about you. Then, when you confort him/her, he'll keep on denying what he/she says to everyone. Meaning, YOU'LL APPEAR BE THE BAD ONE! This kind of person is so so bad. So sweeties, beware of this person/s. Know them first before you trust them.

REAL FRIEND:

This is the type of friend who accept you for WHO YOU ARE. A friend who really cares about you. A friend that can tell everything in front of you, OFFENSIVE in a way but SWEET to hear. They can argue with you in such a nice way. Yes, MISUNDERSTANDING exist but they try to fix it with no hurt feelings. A friend that doesn't keep GRUDGES. UNDERSTANDING, SHOULDER TO CRY ON,TRUSTWORTHY,HONEST AND FRANK. For me, those are the MOST important characteristics of a real friend. When your worlds seem so dark, expect him/her to be with you. Your problem becomes his/her problem too.You're so BLESSED if you're with this person. He/she is the one who will fight and protect you from those STUPID people. You should have this friend.

-----------

So what? you had a lot of friends? but how many of them are REAL??? Your attitudes reflects the type of friends you have. BETTER KNOW YOURSELF FIRST BEFORE YOU JUDGE ANYBODY. I can say that I'm so blessed because i know who am i and i know who my real friends are. I'm so happy that i met them. It will take a lot of efforts to know them one by one. Though you're friends since elementary, high school or college, you can't still say that they're REAL FRIENDS. Simply select who to be trusted.

My 4 things to keep for LIFE:

-FAMILY

-FRIENDS

-BEAUTY

-GOOD MANNERS

> That's all I can say. I hope everybody can relate . :) This is my own opinion. this is based on my own observations.

"Friendship is a strong and habitual inclination in two persons to promote the good and happiness of one another."

hey : HAPPY DAY

o9.05.11

GET TOGETHER AFTER A LONG PERIOD OF TIME!

After the release of Board Exam Results, ORIGKADAS planned to go out and chill somewhere.Since I'm not a fan of STARBUCKS, I keep on searching a nice, different and very relaxing place for us.Then one time my BBM friend uploaded a photos , being *stalker*,i stalked her profile then i saw that cute cafe which is NORITER cafe, manila. It's a nice place promise.(as what i've seen huh)

especially for BARDAKAS. swear. the food.ambiance and the like. :) perfect place..

when you came in .You can see this cute cups at the left part of the cafe.You can write or draw anything in this cups, you can express your feelings as well.But we didn't try it. It's not our priority! haha. We're more on the foods and chikas! :) But I recommend you to go at NORITER along College of Saint Benilde. :) You must try their best seller dessert which is HONEY BREAD. It's so perfect! haha!

MOVING On.

We're just so happy that day. Too much stories about board exams,Love life and other people(haha) I really missed those laughters. Laughing and listening to each chizumms was a blast. Though we're not complete because KARLA is in CHICAGO already, then CAROL is so KJ (haha) and MARK? i don't know know where was he that time! He don't even texted us! urgh? (peace.=)) We're still happy. There's still NEXT TIME!! (kuha mo?)

We took a lot of pictures. As in. :)) We don't even care if we are noisy! This is a FREE COUNTRY! (what?) =)

After Noriter. Actually, rona and i are about to go home but Eunice told us that we're so KJ! haha. So, we went to LUNETA around 7pm i think. WALK.WALK.WALK.It was our first time.And we're so amazed.. especially me! LOL . When i saw that fountain with lights ( i don't know !!!) very relaxing. We went through the PAID PARK! :))) . we just seated there,PICTURE.PICTURE! and uh. "i wanna go home! i'm so tired. " it's already 9pm!!! hahaha!

------

i'm just so HAPPY! i hope we can do this again! :) I promise, i will join you guys! :)) (if i had money!!) bleh.
