CLASSES SUSPENDED

Photo grabbed from Google

Heavy rain poured this morning. Thus, classes were suspended. I was really disappointed. I prepared well for my accounting test. I stayed up late to review my notes, and woke up very early to review again. I ate my breakfast, took a bath, and changed into my uniform. I was already in the vehicle, probably two kilometers away from home, when a friend called me saying: "Classes are suspended. Next week na daw exam sa accounting!" Though many of my blockmates were happy, I was not. And so, I just went to a bookstore to buy my brother's needs for his project. I went home looking really sad. How could this happen? I almost forgot that I have "rain powers", but I wasn't able to use it today. Sigh! 

**Rain powers - my ability to tell the rain to stop or pour. Hahaha. Kuh-razzzyyyy me!**

Sadness overload.
(PS: That's my brother on the mirror. He's eating my snacks.)

Good news is, I'll have one more week to review my notes. Which will increase the chance of me getting a flat one. Hahahaha! Bad news is, I may not have the same motivation as today. I still have to review for my other MAJOR tests. Oh, headache! A very loooong vacation this week, Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday. Who made our schedule? Trust me, even I do not know. So long, bye~

Beaches I love

Here are some of the ideal honeymoon places I want to go to. Wedding might be six to eight years from now, but still, I want to write it down here so I won't forget. kkkk

Bali, Indonesia

We got married's famous couple, Jo Kwon and Ga In, went here for their honeymoon. They shoot for a magazine here as well. It is a nice place. The weather is hotter than the Philippines. The white sand and the sea is what I loved the most. Imagine how lovely the sunset would be.

Jeju Island, South Korea

Another famous couple from WGM, Kim HyunJoong and HwangBo, went here for their honeymoon. Again, I love the white sand and the beach. The food is also mouthwatering. There are places like Teddy Bear Museum, which I love to visit the first day 'cause of my fondness of teddy bears, Volcano Fountain Show inside the Lotte Hotel, Submarine Tour, and a lot more. Many Korean shows or dramas feature Jeju Island, which made me so obsessed with Jeju Island!

Maldives

And again, a couple from WGM, Nichkhun Horvejkul and Victoria Song, went here for their honeymoon. I love the sea. I am a mermaid who cannot swim. (Hahahaha!) Its scenic view is what I admire the most. Likewise, it also has blue-green sea, white sand, and a clear blue sky. The weather is the same in the PH. They have cocktails, and soiree.

Bora-Bora Island

Bora Bora is an island in French Polynesia. Do not fret, this time it's not another WGM couple who went here. I do not know someone who had been here. I just saw BBI while searching for tourist destinations on the internet. It caught my attention since it has the sea, the white sand, and the nice weather.

I am excited to explore the shores of these places. I am a person who loves the sea, though I cannot swim well. I love how God made these places. It's so beautiful, I might not want to go back home when I go there.

Note: We got married is a famous Korean reality variety show. The show pairs up Korean celebrities to show what life would be like if they were married. Couples are assigned missions to complete, with candid interviews of the participants to reveal their thoughts and feelings. (wikipedia)

Tokyo Japan

Tokyo Tower

Another Eiffel-Tower-like in Tokyo, Japan. My mom, who worked in Japan for many years, already saw this tower's alluring beauty. Mom said that it is made of steel, and it was really beautiful, especially at night. I have to add this on my list of places I want to visit.

The orange horizon is very pretty, right? I wonder how the moon looks like up there. I think it'll feel like you can reach the moon. You'll feel like you can hug the moon up there. How fascinating!

I'll go at the top of this tower, and scream your name. Forever you will be! <3

City of Lights: Paris, France

The Eiffel Tower's lights complement the moon's brilliance. <3

Who doesn't want to go to Paris? NO ONE, right?

As for me, it's more than going there. I want to go with you. Let's explore Paris together. Only with you I can be happy.

Can we wear these while walking? How lovely of a couple we'll be! <3

I so want to go there with you, my love. How are you doing? xo

You were hurt

"You were hurt, not because you still love him. But because you saw him with other woman.

You were hurt not because of that woman, but because it pains you that he's moved on.

You were hurt not because you cannot move on, but because you're still waiting for one person, who you do not know his exact feelings for you.

You were hurt not because you are tired of waiting, but because the person you love does not pay attention to you."

- A friend to a friend

The other day my friends and I were having our usual merienda at a place. It was Saturday, the end of the week for us. And it was girls' day, where we relax, eat, and talk things that were hard for us to carry alone. Suddenly, this friend of mine opened up something which is very sensitive for her to talk about. My friends and I asked what's the matter, and she told us her story. She saw her ex-boyfriend, who my friends and I loathed, and who my friend loved so dearly (take note of the past tense: LOVED).  They were one cute couple at first, but as years passed by I saw the guy's true color. A very dark color indeed!

So, after three years of stupidity, my friend finally hit her head hard and broke up with that guy. At first my friend find it hard to adjust herself to the new environment. I mean, no texting, no calling, no boyfies, etc. But later on, she adapted. She's on her second year of being single, and things are going well for her. Well, little did she know. Her dilemma was, she saw her ex-boyfie with another girl. I asked, "What's wrong with that? Are you hurt? Do you still love him?" She answered me, "I am hurt but not because I still love him." "Then why?" my follow-up question. "I do not know either. But I am sure that it is not because I still love him." Another friend of mine talked (after swallowing what was on her mouth) said, "You were hurt, not because you still love him. But because you saw him with other woman. You were hurt not because of that woman, but because it pains you that he's moved on. You were hurt not because you cannot move on, but because you're still waiting for one person, who you do not know his exact feelings for you. You were hurt not because you are tired of waiting, but because the person you love does not pay attention to you. Am I right?"

She did not answer, but I know her so well. Her silence means that what my friend just told her is right. I then told her, "You're being selfish. Let him be happy. So that you'll be happy. If he finds the girl for him, then be it. That is not your business anymore. You should wait for the right man at the right time. Do not find a man for yourself just because he found his." This friend currently have someone in her heart, she loves him but the guy doesn't know, or maybe the guy knows but is afraid to make a move.

To that friend:

I hope someday the man of your dreams will come and confess his heart to you. But in the meantime, do not rush things and just enjoy your life. You know your "ATE" (big sister) will always be here for you. I love you doll. xo

Kritisismo

May mga bagay na madalas pag nakita mo masasaktan ka. May mga bagay na kahit walang pangalan na nailagay alam mong ikaw yung tinutukoy. Yun bang simpleng bagay na gawin mo may masasabi s'ya. Ang masakit pa dun, e pinaparinig nya pa sa'yo o di kaya nama'y sadyang ipinapahalata sa'yo. Hindi nga naman masama na mag-bigay ng opinyon tungkol sa isang bagay. Lahat naman tayo ay may karapatan na sabihin kung anu ang tingin natin sa bagay-bagay. Ngunit pakatandaan natin na ang lahat ng bagay ay may kanya-kanyang limitasyon. Hindi mo dapat isipin lamang ang iyong sarili. Paano na lamang kung sa iyo ginawa iyon? Ikatutuwa mo ba? Oo nga't maganda, matalino at maayos ang kalagayan mo sa lipunan. Ngunit hindi iyon dahilan upang maliitin mo ang mga nasa mas mababang antas. Dahil hindi mo alam, may isang bagay na wala ka na mayroon s'ya. Tigilan na natin ang pagiging mapanghusga sa kapwa. Pakatandaan natin na ang mga salitang isinasambit natin ay sumasalamin sa kung anung klaseng personalidad ang mayroon tayo.

Para naman sa mga taong nakatatanggap na masasakit na salita galing sa kapwa, ito naman ang maipapayo ko. Huwag makipagsabayan sa galit ng iyong kapwa. Kung minamaliit ka man nya o pinagsasabihan ng masasakit na salita hayaan mo na lang. Hindi ka dapat makipagpalitan ng mamasakit na salita dahil kung ganoon ang iyong gagawin ay wala ka ring pinagkaiba sa kanya. Ituon ang atensyon sa mas makabuluhang bagay. Subukan mong magbasa ng mga libro, o di kaya nama'y sumubok ng bagong isports. Kung ikaw naman ay mag-aaral, ituon na lang ang atensyon sa pag-aaral. Gawing makabuluhan ang bawat araw, huwag mong sayangin ang isang araw na binigay sa iyo ng Diyos. Huwag hayaan ang mga pangit na komento na sirain ang pagkatao mo. Maganda rin naman na alam mo kung anu ang pangit sa iyong sarili. Ngunit huwag itong gawing dahilan upang mas ibaba mo pa ang iyong sarili. Bagkus, gawin mo itong inspirasyon. Kung alam mo sa iyong sarili na may pagkukulang ka sa parteng iyon ng iyong buhay, mag-sikap ka upang mapagbuti mo ang pagkukulang mong iyon. Lahat tayo ay pantay-pantay sa paningin ng Diyos. Walang pangit, mayaman o matalino sa mata ng Diyos. Tayo ay pantay-pantay. Ang lahat ng bagay na mayroon ang isang tao ay hindi nya madadala sa langit.

Tandaan, kung ikaw naman na ay ang nasa itaas ay wala ka ring nikatiting na karapatan upang laitin ang mga nasa ibaba. Dahil minsan ka ring naging nasa ibaba, at ikaw mismo ay alam mo ang pakiramdam ng nilalait. Pakatandaan natin na hindi lahat ng kritisismong natatanggap natin ay masama ang epekto sa atin. Kung positibo ang iyong pananaw, ang kritisismong natatanggap ay maaaring maging dahilan din upang tayo ay maging mas mabubuting tao sa lipunan. xo

Walk a mile in my shoes

I just love how gorg these shoes are! Can anyone tell me where to purchase them?

Many people perceive me as mataray, snobbish, kontrabida girl, mean girl, and many other terms that have the same meaning as those I mentioned. I am frequently misjudged by people around me. And I prove them wrong! Those people who see me as a mean girl often become my friends 'cause after hours, days, weeks of having me in their eyes, they always see a different side of me. They'll always say, "Ah, what we think is not true." I, on the other hand, am happy hearing those.

"You cannot have hundreds of friends without having few enemies" is a proven phrase. I gain friends, but I also gain enemies. Well, for them I am their enemy, but as far as I am concern THEY DON'T EXIST! I do not pay attention to those people who hate me because:

• I do not want to grow wrinkles on my face.
• It's a waste of time, waste of space, waste of energy.
• My brain cells may deteriorate if I think too much about them.
• They are confused admirers.
• Bible says, "Love your enemies, and pray for those who persecute you." I do not wish to be a sinner just because of it.

If things get too rough and they hit below the belt, DING! That is when I speak for myself. But even if I do, I do it with with manners and poise.

There may be still a few people who judge me because of what they hear, but then again, "Do not judge me if you haven't walk a mile in my shoes."

Nami Island

nature

Does it look familiar? This is the location site of the Korean drama "Winter Sonata". It is called Namiseom (남이섬) or Nami Island. It is a half-moon shaped island in Chuncheon, South Korea. An island which has lots of trees like maple, chestnut, ginko, etc. Living in cities, with skyrocketing buildings, pollution, and noise everywhere, it's a good thing to embrace nature once in a while. Since, it can be so irritating living in cities,  I'd prefer living in an environment with trees, grass, and flowers everywhere and a place where I can see the stars and the moon.

Nami Island during autumn

Korea is one of the countries I want to go to. Probably the first country I want to go! Maybe because I have been around Koreans for a long time now and they influenced me. And maybe because if I go there, I won't have to worry with the language since I can communicate in Korean (not fluently but I can communicate) Their food is a must-try too! Some food may smell so icky, but once you tasted it, your taste buds will probably go wild.

during winter

It is also one of my romantic dreams: to walk hand in hand with the one I love. Ride a bicycle in autumn, snow fight in winter, and strolling in summer. Seeing these lovely pictures made me want to go there right now!

What do you think, my love? I miss you. :( xo
