Nostalgia

I was browsing through some quotes online and I came across something that most people (I think) can relate with. Haha.



Funny how a song can instantly bring you back to a moment. No matter how much you thought you've moved on or forgotten about it. That one song stays the same; just like that certain moment.

My Sexy Fifteen

I'll start off by telling everyone how lucky I am to have friends such as those I have now. Shout out to Chanel Misa, Kamai Mercado and Liz Dumdum who specifically made my birthday celebration not like any other. And to everyone else who greeted me and made me feel loved, thank you. You all know who you are. :)

My surprise birthday celebration is the most thoughtful thing anyone's ever done for me. It's not anything big and grand but I wouldn't want it any other way. The Saturday before my birthday, it was originally planned that I celebrate it then since the whole week would be preoccupied with Reviews. I invited a couple of my friends yet most of them were either out of reach or out of the country. Liz and Chanel informed me that they couldn't go 2 days before since they'll be else where. The only friend who could actually go was Kamai. I was about to postpone everything but I figured that I'd be free that day and there's nothing exactly I planned of doing, I thought Kamai and I could just hang out.

The moment Kamai got to my place, she asked me to come with her outside since she left something in her car. When I got out, SURPRISE! Liz and Chanel were right in front of my doorstep with a cake, mind you. ;) It was the sweetest thing ever since they've never gone to my place since their parents find it too far. I've always dreamt for my Makati friends to be at my place! Haha. And all that wouldn't have happened if it wasn't for Kamai who woke up really early, picked them up and brought them to my place. :)

That day was a blast.
I had fun with our endless vanity sessions, pigging out with the mouth watering pizzas and potato slices from Yellow Cab, having a Dvd marathon, being sober with our sparkling wine (Hey, I have to wait til I'm sixteen. Haha!) and having the best time of our lives. CHEERS TO CLEAN FUN. ;)



And for my actual celebration, I had a simple dinner with my family at Korean Village. It's been such a long time since we've all gathered together so it was definitely something special and worth while. There's a bit of glum feeling though, not having some of my cousins around. :( It wasn't as fun without all of you. But nevertheless, I know how much you'd all love to greet me personally. Haha. Thank you, Ate Nica for posting an album for me in Multiply. I love you all. I can't wait til next year and get to see you guys again! :*

A Day Not Like Any Other

As I promised myself, I'd blog as often as possible yet I've been preoccupied with Reviews for College Entrance Exams these past few weeks. I get home very late everyday since I have to ride home with Chanel and be picked up there late at night. Nevertheless, every day's been fun-- having the freedom to loiter around Katipunan while seeing A LOT of familiar faces. Haha. Every day seems like an adventure. ;)

Anyway, that's not what I really wanted to blog about.

Three weeks ago, I was asked by my aunt to attend a Youth Seminar at Lord's Flock. Since I was pretty much free that day and was said to be the first and last ever, I decided to go with my cousin, Dioma. I didn't know what to expect nor had any idea what was in store for us. I just thought it'd be 8 hours of boredom and weariness in a chilly room with probably a few count of familiar faces. Yet as we got there, it was completely another world.

Disparagement aside, the crowd wasn't what I expected. I felt overdressed as I walked through the room with eyes on me. I sat beside two girls who seemed really friendly and nice. At first, I felt how uneasy they were when we sat right next to them. I decided to initiate the conversation and introduced my cousin and myself to them. In no time, they started easing up and countless topics just flowed in. Ericka, who I found myself captivated with along with her bestfriend, Ria started sharing bits of her personal life. She was not like any other. Instead of having heard of their abominable stories about their not as fortunate lifestyle, she shared those of which that surpassed what I had in mind. She told me how much she loves her friends and even they lived with such life, she couldn't be any happier. She sees the beauty in every little thing. I could see in her eyes how happy she is and I realized how much I've been trying to find happiness in extravagant and expensive things. Yet, no matter how I much I try to feed myself with such gratification and wealth, I can never seem to feel satisfied. I'd always end up asking for more.

The talk was pretty much boring and redundant yet my newly found friends truly made that day a life changing experience for me. :)
