no photos.

Okay, so here's a little BIG something:
Yesterday, kins and I got our clearance. We passed! We didn't flunk in any subjects. So there's a reason to celebrate. With my civilian clothes in my bag, I immediately dressed up! Kins is like a girl, fickle minded. Been changing plans. But yesterday's change of plans was different.

We took the cab to greenbelt, our usual hangout place. About to buy tickets for the movie but then her mom called him. I didn't know why or what was it about but that cause us not to buy tickets. Just strolled around the mall. Met up with her sister with her sister's bestfriends currently lounging at starbucks. Of course, he introduced me. I froze. As always. They said: Nice meeting you. I just smiled. Did I just forget to reply: likewise? And so we left right away. Bought cold drink at Big Chill first. Because it's scorching hot in Manila, and yes! even inside the mall. Kins ate merienda at Subway. Our both favorite because of their sandwiches and OATMEAL COOKIES! The best!

Kins reminded me of his one rule (or maybe a request) before the meet-up: No crazy/weird dancing. That made me LAUGH! :))

Her sister met up with us. We took the cab again to Powerplant mall in Rockwell. We strolled around the mall and forgot about the time. We came just in time for the Clash of The titans movie. Inside the movie theatre were kins parents, uncles, aunts and nieces. There was like 20 of us! It's my first time to meet all of them. Except kins parents which I've met during the swimming party I had with my friends. The movie was not exceptional but then it's one of the most unforgettable movie. I guess I don't have to tell you why.

Dinner at Kaya after. Kins' family's favorite restaurant. We sat in front of his parents. His dad was encouraging us to take up Law in his subtle ways. I could only smile. I can't see myself as a lawyer, sorry future FIL. But I just want you to know that I'm encouraging Kins the best way I could. He's just too conscious with his age. A little chit chat here and there while eating was more relaxing. Then I thought we're about to go home, but then they still wanted to have coffee at the Starbucks. Kins not a fan of Sbucks but I'm otherwise. Yee! Chatting with kins pretty nieces. They're so cool I was expecting to sit with them to play Killer killer but then I have to sit on the adult table (we're too many that's why we can't all sit together) to chat with kins' parents and cousins while sipping coffee, mocha frap for me. Kins' the youngest among his cousins. Most of them have children already. Spent an hour or so. Chatting, laughing because of Kins. :) Then we called it a day. I called it a dream.

Kins family drove me home. I was little bit shy. But it was surreal.

I have never been introduced as someone's girlfriend to my someone's family. Yesterday was my first time. I've never thought it would happen soon. Well, was that soon after 20 months??? It's for you to judge. But I feel so ecstatic.

So that was the highlight. No photos albeit I brought my camera with me. Too shy. No photos. Just words.

Oh...kay.

It's too long. I don't know if I made sense. If its interesting. Or not. And so? This is for my future babykins. You'll get to read this. You'll know the story. And the LOVE.


bye, G

don't miss me.

YES! Because I'm just right here.
Busy...

studying.

I know I kept ranting about being busy,
being swamped with school loads.
But you know, I love it.
I'd rather be busy than be idle.
I want my life flowing like a river
Than just be like a stagnant water.

A friend once told me that she's so pissed off with accounting.
That she no longer understands why she's there, taking it up.
That it's freaking hard and she's about to give up.
I told her what everyone else would.
That nothing is easy.
Honestly, I love it.
I love it that accounting is hard.
I'm enjoying its twist.
I never like it easy. I want challenge.
That makes it fun right?
Okay, I may lie a bit but c'mon!
A little positivity won't kill you!

:)

Anyway, about the photo above that was the second time
we were allowed to wear our own clothes (of course with lots of restrictions).
The 2nd yellow day in my three years in college.

And yes, I'd rather be yellow (or I'm lying :)





xoxo, G

buzy.

I have been busy with life.
I can't say it's with school/studies.
But full of recreational activities.
And even though it's just the middle of the week
My friend and I have so many plans.

:))

This afternoon was my very first soccer game.
Okay, BOO me!
Kins been playing soccer ever since
And I'm so proud of him.
Today, I got the chance to learn from him
And with his awesome teammates.
Not just me but the other girls too and Zac.
Makes me more proud.

:))

Tomorrow, we'll be indulging with Army Navy's burger!
Plus onion rings plus milkshake
plus burritos plus San Mig Light

I'm happy!
But I shouldn't forget about my quiz bee tomorrow!






xoxo, G

heartbreak

It was so hard for me to leave Bohol.
The place is surreal.
You can't just leave it.
Stayed for less than a day.
But I guess leaving Bohol is way easier.
The heartbreak was a lot lighter.

Because of the span of time we're together.

But a heartbreak is harder
When you've been together for long.
They say:
The moment you feel like giving up,
Just remember why you held on for so long.
Is that always the case?

haha.
nonsense thoughts.

filipino.

If I'll be majoring Filipino language. I'll definitely flunk. :-))

Did you know that there's a difference between "may" and "mayroon"? You can only say "may" when you ask questions, and you only use "mayroon" when you state something.- nmrzmr

e.g.

May gagawin ka ba?
Mayroon akong gagawin.

Text messaging has repercussions like how it affected our vocabulary. Both English and Tagalog/Filipino.

Your ≠ You're. I know that's so grade 1 grammar, but admit it! Many usually use it wrongly. Because when text-ing, people usually use "UR" for both terms. Easier and safer. That's why I don't do shortcuts when texting, it's a way to improve my grammar and spelling. I admit, one of my water loo is spelling. Kins knows that and I don't get offended whenever he corrects me.

I'm more of a math person. Is that a good excuse? haha. :)

Just a thought for the night. Good night and sweet dreams.

very random.

something big has been bugging me lately. bad dreams. nightmares.
reality. for sure.
i know you won't understand me.

i need a peace of mind. i need to consult the doctor soon.
no, i'm not.
i still have a V-CARD. note the all caps.

he would always say this:
tell me who your friends are
and i'll tell you who you are

but i'm not like them.
i know how to preserve things.
i'm not just the go with the flow gal.

some girls think the same
like the friend i bump in today.
things that you think are in

i asked her what to surprise
she answered
do the thing.

NO!

back to what's bugging me
i need peace of mind
glad i have someone to seek solace with

i pray.
hard.
to be healthy.

Sa Aking Pagtanda

This really made me cry. I love my parents to bits and I promise that I would take care of them till their last breathe and no matter how busy I would be in the future, I would always make time to visit them.

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

I made this blog, for one core reason. And that reason is simply to blog... on what's going on on my everyday life, life with kins, what I love and hate and all that jazz. So that in the future when I get to have my own kids I'll let them read this so that they'll know more about who their mom is.

*I hope I'll get to experience motherhood*

Baby, when I grow old and you don't like my fashion statement anymore, don't laugh at me or embarrass me, just subscribe me to Vogue or Cosmopolitan magazine. Maybe, because I have aged, I forgot to re-apply for subscription.

ILY. :)

You can stand under my umbrella.

LSS. :)

There's nothing scarier than getting what you want, because that's when you really have something to lose.

Ninoy Aquino Day

He's the our model.
Mimicking his bravery, maybe in a so literal way.

:)

HappyYellowDay!!!
Will you wear yellow?

heaven.

(above the clouds... flying:)
Its true when I say that I would rather explore my own country before seeing the world.

bliss!

Felíz primer aniversario y muchos más.
(When's its too cheesy too say in english, español is the solution.)

post my ♥

my love for sticky notes.
So, can I be called a sticky-note-girl? No.

don't bother.

I hate it when people look into your eyes and tell you "you're beautiful".
They only look 'till skin deep.

I hate it when you tell someone that you're jealous and they answer back not to worry because you're prettier.
Please, it's more than just the beauty outside.

Gem's back!

Okay, I've been in a hiatus for over a year now. Actually, I have no plans or whatsoever to continue this blog. But due to an unseen circumstance, I know decided to continue.

Thanks to Chic! My photography classmate that turned out to be a very dear friend to me. We had the opportunity to bond again yesterday at the opening of the second branch of JuBytes computer shop of our another photo mate, Ate Ju!

She blogged about it too!

I'm officially back and blogging!

Hello world! :)
