THE BEST CHRISTMAS

December 25, 2011. This is the most memorable Christmas celebration for me. It was the simplest but the best of all the celebrations I ever attended. Not much HANDA but the company of the loving family members really made it very special. Simple gifts given to my nephews and cousins make my Christmas the best!!!!

THANK YOU, I LEARNED!

Feels so sad today due to some minor problems. Minor in a sense that I understand the reasons of my friends for being unsure of attending the upcoming BSIT 2010 First Batch Reunion. I know I don't have the right to get mad at them, but I am just an ordinary guy who also feels pain and sadness if something went wrong especially when the long-time planned union would be cancelled. It's not that I regret in financing our shirts but I just hate the fact that I feel like being left in the ere. Evrytime I call them, 1-2 months before the event, they always say, "sure we can come". But now that it's already a week before the program they are backing out. I think this isn't just right. I know they know that I love them so much, that I always understand them and so do they understand me, but today, I feel so helpless, that I can't help but to think that they are ignoring me! What a feeling is this! I feel sorry for myself! Again I didn't think of the possible consequences. Go lang ako ng go without thinking the possibility of it's cancellation. Is this the effect of being too OPTIMISTIC. I always believe in them, but then again I always fail. I am such a pathetic loser! Loser but not financially. Loser in a sense that I am again ignored by the people I love. I expected a lot, and by this, I learned not to expect too much for the GREATER YOUR EXPECTATIONS THE GREATER THE HURT IT MAY GIVE!!!

NA NAMAN???!!!!!!!

Again and again and again....Why do I feel such crazy feeling? Why am I so affected with it well in fact it's just a simple matter. But they say, it's the simple things that matter. Well, December 15, 2011, I talked to my company here in the shop that I'll be having my day off on the 16th of December, but he said "Sa sabado ka na lang Geo" and I answered him with a question. "Di ba may lakad ka sa sabado? Hindi tayo pwedeng magsabay nyan." "Hindi pa naman sure yun kaya pwede kang mag day off sa sabado." Well, kampante ang kalooban ko na makakapag-off ako last saturday because he told me so. Saturday morning and I have planned everything for that day. It should have been the time for me to buy all the things to be brought home, but unluckily, all plans were cancelled because of him. I really wanted to confront him but I know I don't have the right to do so. I admire him a lot because he is such a man of honor as I think but my perception towards him has changed within that day. OMG, ang sarap manapak. I couldn't explain what I was feeling that day.


Ang pagkaasar na yun ay nadagdagan pa ng pangamba about the upcoming BATCH REUNION when 2 of the batch texted me that they are not sure if they can attend. Grrrrr.....Crazy people!!! You never know what I sacrificed for the event, tapos ngayong malapit na, sasabihin niyo sa akin na hindi pa kayo sure??? that is so unprofessional. It's not that galit ako sa kanila, pero come to think of it. I don't regret for all my expenses because nobody told me to spend much money for the event but, don't they understand what will I feel if the event would not be pursued? I never thought of my own because I do love them but I think I also have the right to be hurt, after all they have promised us they'll be there!!!!

Sleepless night plus freaking boss' mode is equal to madness! This is not the actual feeling I wanted this day, for it is monday. I know that what will I feel today will be the same feeling I am going to have for the rest of the week, hope not! Is it right to ruin your workers' good mode because of your personal problems? That is so unprofessional. To know that she is an educated person but she doesn't know how to deal with her employees. We may have the lower class of living but that doesn't mean it is okay for us to be treated like that, sorry but we also have principle in life and being downed by you will never be tolerated by us especially me. If you have graduated with a 4 year course without any financial catastrophes, well I did but the similarity is, we both finished it! And I think we have a huge difference. Financially speaking, yes you outshine me, but morally, I am sorry to tell but I think I have overcome you with it. I am doing my very best to meet your expectations but you never give credit to my effort and I think you don't deserve to be treated as one good boss! I know you are still my boss and really do wanted to treat you like one but with what you are acting now you really don't deserve it. I am just an ordinary person who commits mistakes and I also need to be understood, but you don't and I do not know the exact reason why. I work like a carabao, with no definite time of closing, no exact salary and I am enduring it without any negative feedback towards you but you seem to be very naive in handling good employees. You are always expecting to be well respected but you yourself don't even respect yourself, how could people around you respect someone like you if that's the case. Come to think of it. A RESPECT IS GIVEN TO THOSE WHO DESERVE IT, TO THOSE WHO WORK FOR IT, how could you do such crazy stuff that hurt somebody's feeling? If you deserve to be HAPPY, what about us, DON'T WE!? oh c'mon!!!!!

IGNORED???

Why do I feel such crazy feeling well in the first place I don't have the right to. Haist! I hate the fact that I feel like I'm ignored and it makes me sick. Grrr....Lilipas din to!!!!! Need to move on!

I AM SO BLESSED!

I am just an ordinary guy who needs attention of others, someone who can accept who and what I am and not for what I have. Actually, I also long for someone who can love me for me and to tell my dreams and problems to, someone to cling to in particular and I think this is still very elusive and I don't know the exact reason why. Yet, I still want to believe that someday, this person would come along my way. Everybody deserves to be happy they say, and I strongly believe with it, for someone who feels pain also deserves to smile. Today, I am enjoying my life for I know I am blessed with great friends (old and new found friends) and a family that knows me inside out even if I seldom talk to them seriously. I am never sure if these friends of mine are true to me or they are just trying to go along with me. Well that doesn't matter anyways. As long as I am true to them and true to myself is the most important thing. As long as I know that I love them with all my heart regardless of what they feel towards me, I am happy!

DOUBT

When it was still a month or two months away, I was so excited. But now that it is only ten days to go, I feel something which I should not be feeling anyways. This strange feeling makes me think a million times and asking myself a question, WILL IT BE PURSUED? Haist, I am really worried about it because I am not sure if the batch mates could come, or only few could come, but I still hope everyone's going to attend the event. I am still praying that majority of the class could attend. Well, to think that some are KILL JOY is so frustrating, after how many years, they never changed??? uuurrrgggghhhhhh....God please, let it happen. Please please please! I believe in You, please enlighten the minds of the other batch mates! Thanks :-)

HE MAY NOT GIVING YOU WHAT YOU WANT, BUT HE GIVES YOU WHAT YOU NEED

I may not have the best love life in the world but I am so glad that He has given me the best family and friends who have supported me and who are still supporting me along the way. This just means that He really knows what I need. I may want the bests in life but I know He only gives what I need and I am so grateful for that for God is good all the time. Yes, I may be needing something more and I can wait for that more to happen and I don't have the right to confront Him because I know He knows what I deserve to have in life.

We only need a little but we always ask for a lot. This is life, we are not able to understand the meaning of contentment. We often ask Him why He is giving us a little, it is because this little is what we need and the rest is for the others. We only think of our ourselves and we don't care about others, this is GREEDINESS and nobody has the right to be greedy for God Himself is not sparing even a little for Him and He is giving everything to us because of His LOVE TO US!

As a servant, we must know how to appreciate the things we have in life. We are so blessed comparing to others. We are the beholders of tomorrow so why not be contented with what we have.

SIR JUN: BSIT 2010, THE BEST BATCH I HAD EVER ENCOUNTERED!

Jun Teneza Trinidad hahaha! sarap magreminisce, Gie & Dheo..yes, you may have done such crazy stuff but you are still the best batch i had ever encountered.. my admiration to your very solid harmony (solid na, harmonious pa..hehe!) has always been consistent..something the preceding and succeeding batches has not religiously done..keep the communication up and running!

This is the exact reason why I really love my college batch! Being praised by your instructor gives you an unexplainable feeling. Teary-eyed with a very huge smile in the lips and a heart beats faster. Wow! Who would have thought that after all we've been through in our college lives, we still came to be loved by our previous instructor especially Sir Joventino Trinidad Jr., or simply Sir Jun as we all call him. He is such a very nice teacher, nice in a sense that he looks in our needs and he is always willing to lend his hand anytime we need it. How could we say thank you to you sir for all the efforts you've made and you are still making to inspire us. You continue to mold us in your own ways and we appreciate them a lot. Well, we all know that words are not enough to tell you how grateful we are for having you in our lives, not just as a TEACHER but an even better brother/sister! If there would be an OSCAR Award for best teacher in the world, Sir Jun would win it hands down. Amazing!


Sir Jun, words are not enough, but this is what we assure you, we appreciate all the efforts you make and we love you more than you love us...Forever, you are carved in our hearts!

BITS OF YESTERDAY

Reminiscing the past is such a very interesting hobby. It makes you smile even when you are alone thinking of the memories you've had with your friends during your past few years of togetherness. Yes, it may have taken how many years since you last saw each other, but when you think of the times, especially the most embarrassing times you've had is very heart warming, knowing that during those times, they never gave up on loving you as a friend and even more as BROTHER/SISTER.

We all look for true friends. Someone who can accept what and who we are not the ones who just approach us when they need something from us. Well, I think I've found my best of friends, not the best actually but TRUE FRIENDS. They were always there in times of trouble and in happiness. Never walked away when I hurt them but instead, they came to love me more despite our indifferences.


THE VERY FIRST OUTREACH PROGRAM OF THE ABRA STATE INSTITUTE OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY
HEADED BY MR. JOVANIE BORCE
BSIT 2010

Baug, San Juan, Abra. The place of one of the lucky students of the class of 2010. And it was held successfully.





BSIT EDUCATIONAL TRIP TO CALAMBA LAGUNA (SEPTEMBER 16-18)
HEAD: PROF. GUITOLLO BATOON

A very long and weary drive from Abra to Laguna...We took 14 hours after reaching the final destination. Wooffff it was so tiring, but at the end of the day we enjoyed the ride a lot because of Sir Vanie's happy deeds...He is such an amazing company wherever we go..







PREPARATION FOR THE TOUR
CALAMBA,LAGUNA

We were all ready for the one day tour to the Rizal's house.












RIZAL'S HOUSE

This photo was taken after the tour inside the big house of Dr. Jose P. Rizal. Pagod na po kaming lahat!!!!! waaaahhhhh









FROM LAGUNA TO THE SUSO BEACH, ILOCOS SUR

The class needed to refresh their body so we decided to stop over the beach....It was so hot that time and everyone needs to replenish...Haisttt!!! Tiring! Trip to Abra continued!

I really missed this friends of mine and I am thankful to God that we all agreed to have the FIRST BATCH REUNION after 2 years of being apart from each other!!!!


December 24, 2011, the BSIT 2010 is coming to a REUNION!!! Everyone's so excited and we hope for it to be the best and the most successful reunion!!! God please help us!!!

AFTER THE RAIN THERE COMES A RAINBOW

arghhhhhhh!!!!! DISAPPOINTMENT is one of the hardest happenings in life which is so hard to accept and forget. I may be lying if I will say I am not disappointed with him. But then, I still want to believe that this happened for a better cause. I do not know the the exact reason why he backed down but I still believe he just wants me not to blame him if the output is not good enough, well this is life and we need to go on after being disappointed for tomorrow is another day!

Geo, magkano na ung paprint ng tshirt jan ke kuya? Pnagcompare ko kc mas makapal pa ung ke kuya, buti na lang iisa pa lang naiprint ko. Ano kaya kung jan mo nlang ipaprint para makatipid ka. Bka kc mOn. Luwas na ako, d bale nakatipid ka na sa tshirt. 2k5h lahat un eh. Nkakuha ako ng discount.

This is the exact message of a friend who was assigned to print our shirt for the reunion that truly disappointed me. I didn't know what to reply him. If I will say bad words to him or will I say something that will also disappoint him or better yet not to text him. But I need to text him back.

I asked him "Why?" but he didn't answer that certain question. So i decided to ask him "Are you sure you're not going to do it anymore?" and then he replied "Oo, dalhin ko na lang jan ung tshirt"

Well again and again and again I am learning great lessons. The best thing I can do for now is to think where would I give the shirts for printing. Instead of thinking of what had happened, I need to move on and I really need to decide where and I know I can find the best printer elsewhere after all I already have known one of the best shirt printer here and that is Kuya Alte.

My boss was about to depart from here. He is going back to his work. But before he left, he talked to me and asked me when will I be going home for CHRISTMAS VACATION and I said I am going home on the 23rd of December and he said, "OK but make sure you will be here on New Year" and I said "Ok sir!" then he left.

DISAPPOINTMENT turned to EXCITEMENT! God is really good all the time! The saying "AFTER THE RAIN THERE COMES A RAINBOW" has been proven to me for the nth time!

Thanks to Jerone for informing early about the cancellation of the shirt printing and most of all Thanks to God and I am so excited for the event!

OPENING REMARKS (BATCH REUNION) DECEMBER 24, 2011

Here we are at our FIRST BATCH REUNION. Look around you at all the classmates we spent how many years within the last school years of our lives. Isn’t it too good to know that after 2 long years of being apart, we still managed to keep in touch to one another? This is simply amazing. Who would have thought that our batch would be the first to have a reunion? Well this event may be too early to think, but I know each one of us is excited and so am I.

Well going back from our college life when we experienced the unexpected experiences that shaped who and what we are today. It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness.

Thinking back to our college days, there were many proud moments—getting a high grade in a class, getting on the honor role, being in the DEAN’S LIST, being part of the SCHOOL’S STUDENT GOVERNMENT just for us to make sure na hindi tayo mahihirapan during the signing of CLEARANCES and so many more moments. But what about the embarrassing moments? Why is it so easy to remember the embarrassing moments and harder to remember the proud moments? Some of those embarrassing moments were—umuttot ti klase, malkaban, pasagot ng PABALANG sa mga SERYOSONG tanong ng ibang kaklase, may mga masasaktan kuno, nag-gagalit-galitan tas maya maya okay na naman ang tawa. Baliw kung baliw, asaran kung asaran ang mahalaga masaya. Tinnulad ti assignments, kinopya t quiz kada long exams. Agpapada ti projects nga isun to man mapansin ni SIR JUN nga agkakambal, agkakasinsin, agkakapidua nga robots haha.

Now is the perfect time to reminisce what we’ve had and shared during the past years of our lives and of course to share something new from our individual experiences. Good or bad!

Thanks for taking the time to show up, reconnect with friends, and both reflect on and laugh about some of the things that happened to us early in our lives! Just remember and focus on the fact that you all look exactly the same as you did in college! NOT!

Enjoy the event and God bless us all!

ENJOY LIFE, SEIZE EVERY MOMENT!

Life is full of unexpected experiences. Full of twists and turns and really a roller coaster ride. If you wanted to finish the ride the best way you wanted to be, you have to be a good rider. Enjoy the ride and whatever may come along, negative or positive, if you are a good rider, either way you will be finishing the ride full of happiness.

Problems always come along. Nobody's excuse. Rich or poor, girl or boy, young and old, we all have problems and it depends upon us on how to handle them. If we only believe in ourselves, in our capabilities, there will never be a huge problem for us! Everything happens for a reason they say and it is true. For God doesn't give us any problem beyond our strength. Everytime we have hardships in our lives, we always ask God why, but the worst is the mere fact that when we are REJOICING, we seldom ask Him WHY????? It is simply because He loves each one of us and these challenges He is giving us is just one of His best ways to test how strong we really are and if we really believe in our own strengths and capabilities and most of all, if we really do BELIEVE IN HIM!!!


Trust yourself and do everything you wanted to do the best possible way you can. Don't mind other people might say! Negative and positive thoughts of others don't matter, either way, you will win the battle of life!

Life is too short to worry about how short life is.

TO SEE WESTLIFE REMAINS JUST A DREAM :-(

I am just an ordinary guy. Sometimes I'm lazy. I get bored. I get scared. I feel ignored at times. I feel happy, I get silly. I choke my own words. I make wishes. I have dreams. And still I want to believe. Anything can happen in this world for an ordinary guy!

Dreaming. This is just one of the many hobbies I have. I always dream to become a successful individual someday, somehow. Anything can happen in this world if only we have the will to pursue what we want to achieve in life.

MEETING WESTLIFE (Shane Steven "Shane" Filan, Mark Michael Patrick "Mark" Feehily, Kian John Francis "Kian" Egan, and Nicholas Bernard James Adam "Nicky" Byrne) has been my long time dream in life. I can't explain why I really do wanted to see them. Ever since they came out of the market, I already started loving them especially their music. It is so soothing and every time I hear any of their songs, I can't control myself to be singing with them. As a matter of fact, I have a collection of their songs compiled in one of my notebooks and I am really really taking care of it. I don't know why, but all I know is I like them very much. And one more thing is that, because we still had no television at home that time, and everytime my cousin plays the CD of the band, no matter how busy I am, I will stop what I am doing just for me to watch the said CD. Others may get annoyed because of replaying their music, but for me, it is always kind like a fresh music.

October 2006, was their first concert here in the Philippines and how I really wished I could attend the said event. Because I was in the province that time and money is one huge problem, I wasn't able to attend the concert. So what I did was just wait for their new CD to come out and watch them on the television. I was so happy that the said concert was fully booked and how I wished I was there, screaming with the other audience. Sad to say that all I had to do is dream dream dream and dream!!!! :-(

After how many years of waiting, WESTLIFE is coming back to Manila for the second time around. September 29, 2011, the exact date of the concert. I was so excited and I can't for the moment to come along. I reserved money for the said event. My salary for almost two months was saved just for the said concert. A week before the live show, something terrible happened in the house. Yes, it was so terrible. My brother was hospitalized and I could do nothing but to offer the money I earned just for him. I do love to watch WESTLIFE live but how about my BROTHER? Am I going to risk his life just for the said event?? No!!!! I asked God to give me the wisdom and He did gave me. I think many times, WESTLIFE OR MY BROTHER???? I gave myself an option, if I will pursue watching WESTLIFE's concert, I never know what will happen to my brother??? and if I will give my brother my money, I won't be able to watch WESTLIFE again live! My goodness, that was a tough decision for me to decide. Again I asked a blessing from Him and there I was able to decide.



WESTLIFE WESTLIFE WESTLIFE WESTLIFE!!!!!!!!! Sad to say I can't watch the show and I needed to give my brother my help. He needed my that time because he was in need. Again, I need to forget myself and this time, I need to forget you WESTLIFE to help my brother.



This time would not be the time to see you perform live but I know someday somehow I will be seeing you...

DEPEND UPON YOURSELF

Laptop is all I wanted to buy, but then it seems it will be hard for me to earn enough penny to buy one. I always wish for it that I could have one soon. Yes this may be ridiculous to others but it's what I wanted for myself, not to show everyone that I am "MAYABANG" but because I just wanted to make sure I can see something with my salary.

When can I have one?

Maybe not today, nor tomorrow, not even next week or next month, but I'm gonna save my money for it...I believe I can have one in the very near future!!! Hopefully......

GIVING UP IS NEVER AN OPTION!

Life is never easy for me.

Entering the gates of a college institution is everyone's dream. As a man full of ambitions in life, finishing college was only one of my ambitions. Because I belong to a family which is financially unstable, it came to my mind that I could never finish my college.

Data Encoder Certificate (DEC). My first year course. It was still okay. No huge problems encountered and I enjoyed it a lot more than everyone of my classmates did. Getting a high grade was my top most priority that time and I made it after all. Graduated in the year 2006 WITH HONORS together with AMOR TUZON.

Diploma In Information Technology (DIT) was my second year course. As of my first year, I still wanted to be on top. Full of pressure but I was never discouraged with the obstacles along the way. Instead I counted them as an inspiration to reach my ambition. Consistently belonged to the DEAN'S LIST for 2 years now and it was so inspiring to continue my college education!
Graduated in the year 2007 WITH HONORS!


After a week during my graduation day, my mama talked to me with a tear in her eyes and she said "Nak, hindi ka na muna mag-aaral ngayong susunod na pasukan!" and it broke my heart that I even cried when I heard that from her. But the truth is I understand why she made me stop my studies and it was because of financial problems.

The night after my mama talked to me, I cried in my room and I even asked God why He never let me finish my college. Doesn't He love me? Yes, I even asked that to myself.But then, I realized that God doesn't want me to suffer. He was just measuring how strong I am to face challenges that will come my way! I was weak that time and He gave me the strength to stand up and tell the world that I am not that weak and I won't give up no matter what.

A year of being OSY (Out of School Youth). It was never easy. Knowing that your batch mates are happily enjoying their students' lives and you alone was there, dreaming that you are with them that time. It made me sick! Yes it really did! To ease my boredom, I find a way for me not to miss my classmates, I decided to go to Manila hoping that I could apply what I have learned even it was just a vocational course. Life in Manila was never easy as well. I stayed there for 3 long and weary months. At least that time, the boredom was eased for at least a short time.

I went back home January 13, 2008 because I missed my family and so did they missed me as well. Staying at home for another several months was never easy again. That time, I decided to visit my classmates for at least once a week to bond with them even I am not studying anymore.


When my mama learned that one of my batch mates is graduating with an award, she told me this "GUSTO MO ULIT MAG-ARAL?" I answered "KAHIT NAMAN GUSTUHIN KO, HINDI NAMAN NATIN KAKAYANIN KASI WALA NAMAN TAYONG PERA PARA TUSTUSAN ANG PAG-AARAL KO" but with eagerness, I really wanted to. "LAHAT GAGAWIN KO MAKATAPOS KA LANG! IPANGAKO MO LANG SA AKIN NA KAYA MONG MAKATAPOS NA CUM LAUDE RIN GAYA NG BATCH MO!" this was a great challenge on my part that she expects a lot from me. I told her "KUNG SA AKIN LANG PO, GUSTUNG-GUSTO KO TALAGA NGUNIT HINDI KO MAIPAPANGAKO NA MAKAKATAPOS AKO NG MAY AWARD, PERO LAHAT GAGAWIN KO PARA SA INYO." She answered me "SIGE, MAG ENROLL KA SA SUSUNOD NA SEMESTER AT TATAPUSIN MO ANG KOLEHIYO MO" this made my heart beat faster. Mixed emotions was what I felt. I even hugged her and told her "AGYAMANAK (SALAMAT)". What my mama told me was carved in my mind. I know how she liked me to finish my studies and she did everything she can and that was the reason why I am so thankful that she is my mom!

Experiences I encountered during my third year in college was never easy. First and foremost, I need to adjust. Some of my classmates were older, but most of them are younger than me. Need to learn their attitudes so that I can hung up with them. But the most important thing was that, I need to study hard to fill up my mom's expectation.

At the end of the semester, releasing of grades (class cards). Expecting that I could still make it on the Dean's List. I striven a lot to be one of the best, but I guess it was not enough. My average was not able to meet the expected average grade of a Dean's Lister! I was not able to make it to the top until the second semester of the same year and that made me worried about my mom.

Fourth year college! The toughest year so far! Lots of ups and downs. Full of challenges.Time to prove my mom that I can do it! She used to asked me "KUMUSTA?" she was referring to my grades if I could be a Cum Laude. Every time she asks me this question, all I answered her was a SMILE and saying "HINDI KO PA ALAM" for her not to be disappointed. "GALINGAN MO NAMAN, HINDI KA NA YATA NAG-AARAL NG MABUTI, WALA NGA AKONG MAKITANG NOTEBOOK SA BAG MO, SAAN KA NAGREREVIEW?" she told me. "HUWAG PO KAYONG MAG-ALALA, NAG-AARAL PO AKO NG MABUTI" I answered her knowing that I am afraid I could not make it. I already accepted the fact that it would be hard for me to achieve such recognition.Yes, it was once my dream but I think it wasn't meant for me. But, at the last minute, I told myself, "KELANGAN KONG MAKATAPOS NA CUM LAUDE". Everytime I tell this to myself, it feels like I really can do it.

A day before the deliberation of graduates' grades. Our chairman told me that there would be a possibility that I could be one of the Graduates who will receive a recognition. My heart beats faster and faster! I didn't know what to do. I just prayed to God!

"It is still 50/50 that you could be one of the lucky graduates" my chairman told me.

At night, I couldn't sleep! Nervousness was what I felt. I kept asking myself, "Could I make it?" I asked God for blessing and I never expected what He gave me.

My cousin texted me the morning before the deliberation day saying "Jhay, (my nickname) if it is meant for you, God will make a way. But if not, He has better plans! Trust Him!" I cried upon reading this message. Thanking my cousin for that very inspiring message.


12:00 in the afternoon, the deliberation of graduates was done! Went out of the school building to ease my nervousness. After a snack, one of my classmates texted me "Gie, you made it!" I replied "I made it to what?" she answered, "You are one of the CUM LAUDE's friend. Congratulations! Upon confirming that message to my chairman, I didn't know what to do and I just jumped and hugged my best friend and cried. What a great accomplishment! After confirming the news (BEST NEWS FOR ME SO FAR) I immediately sent a message to my cousin informing her that I made it to the top and she replied "I AM SO PROUD OF YOU."

This experiences of mine have shaped me what and who I am today. I learned a lot of lessons in life. I learned not to give up on my dreams and most of all, I LEARNED TO TRUST GOD not because I graduated with flying colors but because He gave me everything I needed in life! Blessed is the LORD!

TRUST HIM

"Jhay, if it is meant for you, God will make a way. But if not, He has better plans! Trust Him."

This has been the most inspiring message of my cousin to me before I graduated in college. Finishing a bachelors degree with honors is everyone's dream. So did I dream for it!

4 long weary years of a roller coaster ride! Lots of unforgettable experiences. From the moment I started my college life until my graduation day. Negative and positive experiences have shaped me who I am today. It was hard! It really was, but at the end of the day, I am able to draw a smile on my face because I made it to the top.This would be impossible for me to achieve without the help and guidance of my loving family and friends who supported me along the way. But more importantly, with God by my side, who has given me everything I needed! Without Him, this would never be possible. Glory and praise are unto you oh God!

This experience of me made me believe that if something is really meant for you, God will make a way. But if not, He really has a better plan for your life. Just don't ever stop TRUSTING HIM for He may not be giving you what you want at this moment, nor tomorrow, nor next week, but this is what I assure you, He will give that wish of yours at the right time and at the right moment!


Thanks to my cousin for inspiring me a lot to become the best of the best! I learned how to believe in my abilities and I also learned how to become a better person!


TRUST HIM! This is a magical word!

Distance is never a reason to forget a friend, especially when you also know that the friend u cherish cherishes you as well....

It may be a million miles apart, but we still manage to love and care for each other...

Friends are the flowers in the garden of life, they say, and I really believe in it...For true friends never part...We may grow old but our friendship doesn't...

Kate has been one example of a true friend...We all know that she already had a better life than most of us but she never forgets where she came from....She may have find better friends than us but she never did because we knew she loves us and we love her as well...

On this special day of her life, we are celebrating her 23rd birthday of existence in the world and never will we forget all the good things she had done for us...Simple gifts are only what we can offer her but they come deep own from our hearts..

How Hard It Is...

March 29, 2010..The date when I graduated. It was the same time when I asked myself...What's Next??? This was a big question it was hard for me to answer. Days go on and on and I kept thinking how and when can I achieve my dreams. Days...Weeks...Months passed and I was still asking myself...Is it here where I belong??? I sometimes cry but after a tear have fallen, I wipe the tear in my eye and said, I can do something for me to achieve my dreams and I believe nobody can do that for me but me, myself...
A year had passed very fast and I was still there at the bottom, I again asked myself, WHY??? Am I a loser or something??? But I was not, I am a fighter..Said to myself with a smile on my lips...I always pray to God to help me and guide me in every way and then a very exciting news came to me..That was the same time when I applied and luckily I was hired, HUGE THANKS to him...Now I am here, ready to do anything for my future and I believe, I can do more that what other people expect me to do!!!
