MARGE @ 18.

Every year on your birthday, you get a chance to start new -- SAMMY HAGAR

Blowing her candle every 18th day of October. And now she just turned a Lady. Meet my cousin LISA MARGARET a.k.a MARGE/ ARET! 

October 20, 2012... she celebrated her vintage themed party together with her very own CAPUNO-MAGBOO family and friends. 

I witnessed all the changes happened to this lass. From being thin kid, to pre teen stage and now to a fully dressed gal/lady. I think she's a type of girl who is very secretive. Well i guess? HAHAHA. These picture addict girl is really fun to be with.. (pag nasa mood) :))

A woman whose smile is open and whose expression is glad has a kind of beauty no matter what she wears.

Most of us can remember a time when a birthday - especially if it was one's own - brightened the world as if a second sun has risen.

Purpee! =)

a WORK to remember.

Experience is one thing you can't get for nothing.

-Oscar Wilde

My very first work.

Actually I'm just referred by a friend. Since, I'm just a pretty bum staying all day and all night at home.. I tried to apply here in Ecclus Language Center. Trueblood vocabulary exam and interview. whutduh! can i say.. i didn't see it coming? :)) This is not my field, but i wanna experience how to be an English teacher to Koreans. And yes, fortunately... I'm hired. During the said orientation.. *think twice*, I felt really bad and nervous! OMG, "i don't wanna get back, i don't wanna sign the contract..." as verbalized by me! :)) 

But, i realized... there's nothing to lose in trying! :) 

meet teacher Den with yours truly and teacher SANDWICH, i mean very wrong teacher Sherwin!

meet my babies... JOSHUA, RICH and Daniel.. ED was missing... 

At first, I'm really nervous. YES *nakakaramdam din ako ng ganyan minsan!* hahaha. I don't know what to do, or should i say... i don't know what to say or to teach? whutduh! but as days and weeks goes by.. i'm getting used to it. it's just a matter of patience.. It's really hard to take good care of children, especially my youngest student Daniel. Oh well. ALL BOYS! :) i love it! that's so me! haha. I KNOW, YOU WILL MISSED YOUR PRETTY LIL TEACHER.. T. KHATES! :)) 

note: don't worry i'll drink lots of milk so that i can be tall and i can kiss a tall guy! :)))))

I do appreciate your letters guys.. it made me cry swear.. *korni pero totoo!*

picture perfect! with T. Clara, Coreen, Gladys, Ian.. the some students! :)

my fellow teachers. sorry guys. i really don't know their names! *nagpapicture lang ako! remembrance! :) * all i can say is they are the REGULAR BABIES! :)

with my boyssss.? with the calendar girls? :)) ooopppssss *guess who* :)) 

meet Sam. the cute guy in Ecclus! LOL *diba ivan?* di kami kinikilig ni gladys! swear.. never! <3 font="font" nbsp="nbsp">

meet the people behind my happy days in Ecclus! Janeth, Gladys, T. Irene, Ivan, Ian and my very own CALENDAR GIRL... SHERWIN ALEXIS BARBA! 

Thank you for everything, for friendship and for those laughters that you gave me! :) I really enjoyed a lot.. though there are hassle and toxic times.. *oowwsss?* HAHAHA.

THOSE LESSON PLANS MADE BY YOUR VERY OWN LAZY, GARBAGE LOOK AND PRETTY CO-TEACHER... THOSE *PASAWAY DAYS, *no to color coding* i'm such a color blind! :)) Those room to room chatting.. shouting and what so ever was really memorable for me! 

LINES TO REMEMBER:

1. "KASO KHATES, MUKHANG MATAAS ANG STANDARDS MO, PARANG ANG PLAYFUL MO SA RELATIONSHIPS, DI KA SERYOSO SA GANYANG BAGAY!"

2. "ANG MUKHANG OCOC MO PA! TAPOS PAG DATING NG MONDAY WALA KANG KADALA DALA NA DESIGNS"

3. "SI KHATES, SOBRANG TAHIMIK... NAKAKAHIYA I-APPROACH!" 

4. "KUNG PARA SAYO PAMBAHAY LANG YANG SUOT MO, ANO PA TONG SAMIN?"

5. "SHHHT ANG GANDA MO NAMAN" --kahit alam kong joke! :))

6. "PAA, TUHOD, BALIKAT, ULOOOOOO" 

7. "OMG.. ARE YOU CRAZY?!"

8. "VERYYYYYYYY WWWRRRROOONNNNNGGGG!!"

9. "WHEN WILL THE BELL RING?"

10. " NAG BELL NA YUNG RINGGGGGGG" -- the best among the rest! :) i loveeee this! 

But seriously.. i'm looking forward to be with you again.. soon! in time! see you never or around somewhere!hahaha :) I will treasure those experiences forever! :)

Two Hearts as one. 

We all know that this day would come. 

As a ATE IRIS' cousin/friend/sister, i knew everything about her... (joke. hindi lahat! hahaha). As we grew up, I witnessed her ups and downs. Those hanging outs, playing under the rain, food trips, drinking sessions and what so ever. Being with her was such an exciting yet cute and memorable! WE ALL KNOW THAT WE'RE BOTH PRETTY *LAMANG LANG SIYA NG MGA LIMANG PALIGO! HAHAHAHA. 

I'm just so happy that she already met her destiny and a man  to be with forever named RUMESH. These two couple seems really happy with each others company. Though I haven't known Rumesh for such a period of time, I can feel that he's really sincere with my sister. I really can't imagine that these two different person with different nationalities and beliefs will crossed on each others path. 

--who knew that these babies in different nationality will meet and walk the aisle...and will be together as one... #only_God_knows... ^_*

As her Parents *Nelson and Mary Magboo* took her to her own LIFE.  YOU SHOULD BE PROUD OF YOUR DAUGHTER. :) She's now a woman. :)))

And yes, we can't imagine that this is really is it! CAN I JUST SAY "I DIDN'T SEE IT COMING!!  haha. The day has yet to come! As her cousin/friend/sister... We're really proud of her. Sad but Happy. Sad, because she's now a wife... She just turned to be matured enough for such things, we can't do the things that we happened to do when she was still SINGLE. She has the now more priorities than before. HAPPY because, she's now a woman with responsibilities... the beginning of real life, a life with her right man for the rest of her life. I know that someday, you"ll be having your own family, I mean a life with RUMESH AND WITH YOUR CHILDREN. I'm looking forward to it. :) 

BLESSED! :) 

Just keep Loving and Caring for each other. I hope your relationship would be as sticky as *kakanin* hahaha! 

In behalf of MAGBOO FAMILY... We're Hoping that you'll become a better person, a loving wife... and soon, as a loving and caring mother. We wish you much happiness.I know that you and rumesh are really meant for each other. NATIONALITY DOESN'T MATTER. OR SHOULD I SAY COLOR DOESN'T MATTER! *peace haha* But seriously, I'm really happy for you!!! Just stay pretty and cute like me forever ok! :) RUMESH IS SUCH A LUCKY GUY. He's lucky for having you, and i know that you're lucky too for having him! :) Take good care of each other ok! Just enjoy life.Always give love to each other, with lots of laughter and fun! ok? LOVE LOVE LOVE! 

all i can say is... " OMG. I'M SERIOUS!" :)

Growing Younger : on my 22nd

HAPPY 22ND BIRTHDAY TO ME!

Thinking back to 12 months ago today. I was living a 360 degrees different life. All my blessing, what I've accomplished, that not yet accomplished, my ups and downs, happy heart and my sad heart *weh?*, are remarkable moments in my life! My last year was wonderfully unpredictable. It was a year of abundant blessings, though, and for that I’m so thankful for my good fortune and also I'm also thankful for those misfortune ones!. Wishing with all my life for another year filled with loving family, generous friends, keeping my sunny outlook on life and never forgetting my dreams! 

I just wanna take this opportunity, to THANK everyone who didn't forget my day! :) For those very touching private messages, I'm sooo into it! :) CAN I DIE AND CRY NOW? :))) I'm so thankful to my Family and Friends who's always there for me! Through thick and thin. To my friends, you know who you are! I don't need to elaborate! :)

I'M NOT LOOKING FOR THAT SOMEONE! I'M NOT IN A HURRY! I KNOW THERE'S SOMEBODY SOMEWHERE FOR ME! :) I KNOW HE'S WAITING SO PATIENTLY *kanta pala?* :))

I LOVE YOU GUYS! *drama, this is my blog! i have my freedom!" :))

Live as long as you may. The first twenty years are the longest half of your life.- Robert Southey

"Blessed are they who have the gift of making friends, for it is one of God's best gifts. It involves many things, but above all, the power of going out of one's self, and appreciating whatever is noble and loving in another."

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.

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?
