A promise of forever

April 21, 2012 - my cousin's wedding day. The ceremony was held at Shrine of Mary queen of peace (our lady of edsa). We we're all excited, nervous and emotional all at the same time and I wasn't able to control my tears while she was walking down the aisle with the song "Panunumpa".

She looked so simple, peaceful and stunning in her wedding dress 

The Bridesmaid! :)

The secondary Sponsors! :)

we were all wrapped with serenity and solemnity as the holy celebration    went on. 

I felt a little sad when the photographer called out for the family and relatives of the bride for the reason that most of our family members wasn't able to come home for the big event, including the sister of the bride. But I'm still so glad to see some of my relatives from manila that I seldom see. :)

It's my Dad and my Mom's wedding anniversary at the same time. So here we are, taking our family picture before we proceed at the reception! :)

The Reception

The reception was held at the AIC Gold Tower. We thought it will be just an ordinary wedding reception that we get to eat, take pictures, get our souvenirs and go. Surprisingly, it was fun! still the usual, the traditional but it was fun. :) The program was arranged accordingly. The host was very precise with her instructions that's why we knew where to go and what to do. Everyone were able to take a shot with the newly weds, get their souvenirs and  write their wishes for the couple. MOSTLY, We had a savory lunch and we were delighted by the desserts (watermelon and melon fresh cube cuts and coffee jelly). Happiness in our tummies! :)))  

there were wedding singers to serenade us while we were eating and a surprise dance number from the groom! :) Nikko took a video of it but for some reasons I can't post it here, haha! 

Arni got the bouquet and.... oopsie.... I don't know the name of the one who got the garter!  LOL!

The CAKES

I noticed a very important thing, Even the reception was filled with love and support. Our family was overwhelmed by how Kuya Carlo's family welcomed my cousin in their clan. 

Oh and also, we did enjoyed the photo booth! :)

Hooo... I can't believe how time pass us by soooo fast. we may not see each other all the time now but we will forever  have that bond in our hearts. :)

and to the newly weds, Ate Camille and (ehem) Kuya Carlo :) CONGRATULATIONS and BEST WISHES! :)

Closing the book?

This chapter is done but the story goes on.

Happy Easter! :)

I'd like to dedicate this song to my one and only savior. I know It wasn't a perfect holy week but I'd like to at least say THANK YOU for all the sacrifices you have made for all of us. No words can explain how grateful I am that you love me despite my imperfection and despite of all the pain I cost you. You never left my side when everybody else left me and mostly you uplift me in times when I can see nothing but darkness. I LOVE YOU with all my heart and soul.

THANK YOU FOR SAVING MY LIFE

You found me
At the bottom of a bottle
Drownin'
In the depths of my sorrow
A stranger
Gone too far to forgive
Dying with no will to live

Then you held me
So close to your heart
And you told me
It's gonna be alright

You're the reason that I'm still alive
These are more than just words that I write
This is love that were making
There ain't no mistaking
For you I've been waiting
Thank you for saving my life

You came to me
Put your hand in my hand
Salvation
From my demons within
Escape from
A definite end
When like you said
I could win

Then you showed me
What life shoud be like
'Cause I have you right here by my side

You're the reason that I'm still alive
These are more than just words that I write
This is love that were making
There ain't no mistaking
For you I've been waiting
Thank you for saving my life

This is the way it should be
You've opened my eyes
And now I can see
This is the way
I wanna stay
For now
For the rest of my life

You're the reason that I'm still alive
These are more than just words that I write
This is love that were making
There ain't no mistaking
For you I've been waiting
Thank you for saving my life
 Thank you for saving my life

Test the waters first before jumping off the cliff

Test the waters first before jumping off the cliff --- is one of the things I learned from this new experience of mine. I don't want to go into details because I don't want to feel so miserable about it but I do believe that everything happens for a reason. and for whatever reason it is, I'm grateful to God. Sometimes, God gives us what we want so we would know if it's really for us. I'm still frustrated but then again I'm trying to catch a good glimpse of this whole thing!

Loving Papers! :)

 I can't remember when I started to collect sticky notes such as Post-it, Script, Stick-on, etc. I prefer Post-it because I find it more adhesive than the others. though they don't offer fancy designs, I still love em'. I recycled my cute perfume set box (V.S) and placed everything in it. It's almost full that's why I plan on buying a bigger box so I can transfer them.

Here are some of my favorites! :) 
I use Finger-it when I write letters and as a bookmark. I stick it on the page where my favorite line is. I also use it as a planner aid. :)

I'll post more of it soon. - I love Papers! :)

           

Happy Fate! :)

Yesterday, I attended a job interview and a teaching demo in an International school in Alabang. 

I prepared my lesson plan, my creative cut-outs, worksheets and nursery rhymes for i'll be doing the demo with kindergartners. I was in mixed emotions while the director of the school observed  me as I manage the class. Most of the students are Korean nationals, I also spotted some Japanese nationals and some I'm quite not sure.  They're all soooo adorable. It wasn't really hard for me to teach them cause they participated in every activity and welcomed me happily. They even liked my cut-outs and asked if they can bring it home. :) to sum it all up the School Director liked what I did and offered me the job right away. Now if you're asking if I took education units, I haven't (yet). I'm a Psychology Graduate and I am also planning to take Master's Degree (in Early Childhood) if the circumstances permits me. I'd like to thank all the people who helped me and of-course God for the blessings. :) THANK YOU. :) --- See you on Monday Kids! :)

Comfort Zone!

Why is it so hard for me to come out of my comfort zone?? I wanted to do so much but I'm always scared of what might happen. wahh. I shouldn't be like this, so weak and repressed.  I have to grow up, be strong and be confident enough to handle my vocation and avocations. I really don't know how BUT I SHOULD DO THE RIGHT THING. I shouldn't waste my life in this cowardliness. FIGHT!!! :) ----So help me God.
