2 days left... [30 Jul 2005|06:50pm] [ mood | artistic ] [ music | wala! ] Hokie dokie... I was supposed to go out last night, but because of last minute plans, I decided to just stay here at home. From now on, emergency gimicks will be a "no! no!". Yeah right! :P So there, I was all alone again. As a result, Haha!!! Vain ko ba? Naaahhh... Hindi rin. Naaaliw lang sa mga litratong pwedeng paglaruan. Mwehehehe!!! :P Anyway, today was the usual. Wake up, eat brunch, review, break (meaning television plus internet), play with siblings, see what's for dinner, dinner... Tapos! Wala lang... :P Later, I'll be having my quiet time. I'm excited! Praise God for my quality quiet times lately. Progress ito!!! Oh yeah! :) I can't wait till my mom's arrival. And of course, my DLSU entrance test for term 2. Though I'm not yet really prepared for it, I want it to happen already. Pray for me, please. Thank you! hee-hee! :P comment

back pain!!! [28 Jul 2005|06:34pm] [ mood | tired ] Cooking + reviewing + babysitting + tutor-ing + cooking and cooking and cooking = back pain. Wehhhhh!!! I need a massage. Anyone? Please??? Haha! Now, I really wish that my mom was back. Ang hirap pala noh? Imagine, she has six children to nurture plus my other relatives whom she supports because she's the bread winner nga.. Tapos ilan pa dun sa mga yun, pasaway. Oo na, isa na ako dun. Pero dati lang yun. Wahaha! Ma, I salute you. 'Di ka lang nanay, tatay pa. Superwoman pa nga eh!

my favorites and Hero [25 Jul 2005|08:30pm] [ mood | sleepy ] [ music | Wonderwall - Oasis ] Materially speaking, it's my best friend! More of my favorite things at my multiply. Oops... I was caught eating Hero's ponkan. Takaw eh! We went to the Fort Bonifacio Hospital to visit my Hero. Ehehe!!! When we were about to enter his room, I started singing the happy birthday song. Eh narining nung mga nurse, napalibre tuloy si tita Rose. Hahaha!!! No, it was no one's birthday today. I was just trippin'. Mwahahaha!!! Other pics at my multiply. I didn't get to watch our President's State of the Nation Address. So what did she promise again??? Nah, I don't wanna be biased with this issue. I'll just pray for her and our country. That's all for now. Gotta continue with my Math review. Baboo!!! :P 1 comment|comment

in an instant!!! [24 Jul 2005|09:34pm] [ mood | on fire for HIM!!! ] [ music | Write Your name Upon my Heart - sonicflood ] OH LORD, I GIVE YOU ALL MY PRAISE!!! THANK YOU SO SO MUCH!!! I received a text message from my grandfather. It was a good news, but I'm not allowed to spill it yet. Basta, one of our family's prayers was answered! Praise God talaga! I read the message after I had my quiet time, and I felt like He answered me in an instant! I love YOU, my dear Lord! Still, our family is praying for strength and blessings. We're actually having a family prayer chain every 9 in the evening. From Canada to Italy and here in the Philippines... I believe that God really hears our prayers and answers them at the right time. PRAISE GOD talaga!!! So, let's just keep on praying. If you have any prayer requests, just contact me or post a comment. I'd be really praying for you. :) God bless us all!!! :) 2 comments|comment

What if muffins were alive? [23 Jul 2005|11:11pm] [ mood | hyper ] [ music | .......................................... ] I got some muffin stories, or should I say muffin films to share. Click here. Goin' for broadway? Here's The Sound of Music, the muffin version. Wahahahahaha! Nothin' much... Just wanted a smile from everyone for the weekend. But yah, what if muffins were alive??? Uh... I'm still fine and not crazy... Just a thought. More muffin stories here. Now I'm craving for Kenny Roger's corn muffins. Ugh... Too much of muffins for this post. Err... Have a fun Sunday with the Lord everyone!!! :) comment

fried rice Friday [22 Jul 2005|06:01pm] [ mood | pleased ] [ music | My Bestfriend - Hillsongs ] Okay. I just finished cooking some cheezy fried rice with carrots. Whew!!! I felt so warm (whatever Reeca!) and tired after. I think my right arm got bigger muscles because of it. After that, I let my little siblings eat their dinner. There I go... I feel like a "mother" now. No wayyyy!!! I'm just subtituting for my mom since she's in Italy. Right now, I am the official cook of the house. I get to budget the food and all that. It's really tiring and sometimes stress causing, but it's all worth it. And I love what I'm actually doing! It really feels good to do things for your loved ones, especially when you are not used to doing those things before. I can't explain it, but what I'm feeling right now is more than fulfilling. Wow! Rhyming!!! Hahaha!!! So there... I just want to praise and thank God for making me productive today and for this wonderful week. I'll be praying for more fried rice Fridays to come. God bless!!! :P comment

Photoshop CS2 vs SAT review [21 Jul 2005|03:33pm] [ mood | high for PSP CS2 ] [ music | I Don't Want To Be - Gavin DeGraw ] Whacccckkkk!!! I am so so distracted with Photoshop CS2!!! I found some cool brushes, textures and gradients! Ye-ahhh!!! And they keep me from answering my SAT exercises. Oh no!!! I still have to learn to install those brushes and stuff and use them creatively. Waaaahhhh!!! I'm addcited to it!!! This couldn't be... I'm becoming a geek!!! Wahahaha!!! But honestly, I'm lovin' it! Nyahaha!!! I'm out!!! Ye-aaahhhhh!!! comment

some random stuff [20 Jul 2005|11:48am] [ mood | calm ] [ music | When all is said and done - Tommy Walker ] i couldn't ask for more... The picture above is my very first serious Photoshop CS experience. Haha!!! I'm just lovin' photoshop!!! That's what keeps me busy lately. I talked to Tito Ariel (my favorite uncle who works in Italy) last night, and he's gonna send me money which I'll be using for my driving lessons with my grandfather. Woohoo!!! Driving lessons mean 1 week away from the internet, 1 week of good food (which means I would gain weight again...) and 1 week of being away! Why? Coz I'll be learning how to drive in the province. Err... But still, I'm gonna learn how to drive. Ye-ah!!! I wanna cook some mushroom and cheese spring rolls, but I don't have the ingredients. I'm broke! Eeekkk... I miss my mom, my dad, Angel, Kuya AJ, Gladys and Patrick!!! I am scheduled to take my DLSU entrance exam on August 10. Please pray for me. I'm actually in the process of refreshing my brain with my high school lessons. Since the Comm. Arts program is already closed, I chose AB International Studies major in European Studies as my course. If I won't get to enjoy and like it, I'd be shifting to AB Comm. Arts next year. My heart??? Oh yeah!!! I'm feeling better... so much better now!!! Though I still think about it sometimes... Hehe!!! But everything's on a smooth flow. Pluggin' JP's super duper amazing blog site. yeah!!! Ooh... Sorry for the incoherence... Just got up from bed. Good morning everyone!!! :) 5 comments|comment

[19 Jul 2005|09:39pm] [ mood | happy ] [ music | Here I am to Worship - Philips, Craig & Dean ] I just received an e-mail message from Allan, my mom's friend in Naples. He told me that my mom is doin' great in his place, that she just ate chips and salsa last night (diet daw si mama eh... sa umpisa lang), and that whenever Allan is out for work, mama enjoys the company of Pete. She feeds him and all that. By the way, Pete is a dog. Yes, a dog! So what surprised me about it is that my mom never really loved or even liked dogs. Well actually, pets are a "No! No!" in our house. My mom's actually afraid of dogs because of an unforgettable incident she had with them. Tapos ngayon??? Whoa! Truly, in God's time, all things become or are possible. We just have to trust His plans for us, cooperate with Him and follow His path. Even if it would entail sacrifice and pain on our part, we must continue to put our faith in Him... Because He knows best... And that nothing is too hard for Him. I believe God has a purpose why He allowed my mom to get close to Pete. Probably to teach her to face her fears, or to simply make her feel that she is not alone. Maybe God is accompanying my mom through the dog. Haha! So cute... Si God talaga oh... Comedy minsan eh... Hehe! :P "Don't worry about anything; Instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need and thank Him for all He has done." - Philippians 4:6 comment

Yesterday no more! [18 Jul 2005|11:55am] [ mood | hopeful ] Yesterday, I was at the weakest point in my life. Honestly, I thought of totally giving Him up. I questioned. I complained. I worried. I was so frustrated, and disappointed, and burdened. I was like, "Naging mabait naman ako ah. Wala nga akong kalokohan, di tulad ng iba. Ginagawa ko naman responsibilities ko. Bakit sa akin nangyayari lahat 'to?" Then I thought, everything was all about me, myself, I, ako... Thus, I was selfish. Then I came running to Him again. I know I became so harsh on Him, but He still embraced me with His comforting love. He spoke to me through Psalms 34, where verse 8 deeply struck me, "Oh, taste and see that te Lord is good; Blessed is the man who trusts in Him!" I was really encouraged knowing that the best is yet to come. I know God tells me that there is a time and a season for everything. But why does there have to be a time for bad things? It seems so wrong when someone has more than his "fair share" of heartache and tragedy. I mean, I am only eighteen. Why should I have to go through all of these? Yesterday, as I struggled with these issues, I came to realization that life truly is unfair. But then I wondered if "why?" is the right question, if "what now?" might be a better one. The Lord led me to Matthew 11: 28-30, "Come to Me, all of you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light." With this, I discovered that I was carrying the yoke in my own strength and wisdom. I was weighed down with the burden and had allowed frustration to develop into anger. I was reminded how much I need Jesus to be my Burden-Carrier. That no matter what bad things happen to me, I know that God has not left me alone. God still cares. God is good. Only He can bring something good out of something awful in my life- if I'm willing to cooperate with Him. Yesterday, I was blinded to the good in my life by the bad things that happen. I suffered and I felt alone. But all the while God was holding me close, smiling at me, wanting me to experience His blessing ang perfect plan for my life, and hoping I am aware of His love. And oh! I also learned that I am not strong enough to solely carry my burdens. God has much bigger shoulders than I do to carry my everday "crosses." "Have the courage for the great sorrows of life and patience for the small ones; and when you have laboriously accomplished your daily task, go to sleep in peace. God is awake." - Victor Hugo 6 comments|comment

prayers,prayers,prayers...please [17 Jul 2005|07:57pm] [ mood | depressed ] [ music | when i dream - mymp ] "O Source of Mercy, give me the grace to show forbearance to those who offend against me. When the wrongs and injustices of others wound me, may my heart not despair of human good. May no trial, however severe, embitter my soul and destroy my trust. When beset by trouble and sorrow, my mother and father put on the armour of faith and fortitude. May I too find strength to meet adversity with quiet courage and unshaken will." I have never felt this weak in my whole life. Everything seems to be so difficult right now. Yes, LIFE IS REALLY UNFAIR, but GOD IS GOOD! I surrender to You my life. Kayo na po ang bahala... Prayers, prayers, prayers and more prayers... Please. Thanks. 2 comments|comment

I'm too lazy to post a sensible entry. Sorry. Anyway, I have new photos uploaded at my multiply. <-- click it! comment

AMEN!!! [08 Jul 2005|01:58pm] [ mood | excited ] [ music | the sound of silence... hohumm ] "Don't live for people's opinions. Live for God's opinions!!!" I read the above quotation from the site of my ex-schoolmate, and I say A to the M to the E to the N to it!!! What a really wonderful good morning encouragement. So what now??? Go for it, REECA!!! yeah!!! :) comment

great promises [01 Jul 2005|10:08pm] [ mood | hopeful ] [ music | tell me where it hurts - mymp ] God is with you in all that you do. - Genesis 21:22 Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with him and he with me. - Revelation 3:20 Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you. - Hebrews 13:5 They say that promises are made to be broken. That's for the case of man. But for the Lord? Nah... Never will He break them, even in His thoughts. Need some proofs? Well, I won't be able to post this and you won't be able to read this entry if He did break His promises. Yah, just a thought... :) off to bed now... :) 2 comments|comment

goin' green??? [30 Jun 2005|05:38pm] [ mood | sick ] [ music | say you love me - mymp ] me and my partner melai... and they are gay... the bading girls... I, together with Pat, went to DLSU yesterday to visit our high school friends. Because it was their U-break, we didn't have a hard time meeting up with them. I had a great time, eventhough I am sick. More pics at my multiply My mom called this morning. Literally, we exchanged "chikas" with each other. I really loved our conversation because I don't usually get to talk with her in that manner. I mean, she checked me on love life, plans for the 2nd sem and others. I was even shocked coz she was pairing me up with this guy whom she met in Naples. Hahaha!!! Funny mother! :) I still have nothing to do here at home. Actually, I should be reviewing for my entrance exam on July 23, but since I am sick, my mind couldn't absorb facts and information. God has been speaking to me lately in my quiet times. It feels good that whenever I have questions about my life and love life, He's got instant answers for me in the Bible. So cool!!! Uhm... Patrick and I decided to donate blood, but we do not know of any blood bank. Suggestions, anyone??? God bless!!! :P 2 comments|comment
