tinatamad ako mag-online lately e.

october 23-26: we went to Ceby City (with my Father and Mother)
[october 24-30: LCDC 2k6 -- kaya hindi ako nakasama dito :( much to my dismay. BUT, truly, the Lord has a purpose and a wonderful plan. and i praise God for that.]

october 31: we cleaned up boxes, stacks of books, notebooks, etc from our high school days (with my Mother, Younger Sister and our Kasama-sa-Bahay) such a lot of hoarded stuff that may already be thrown. i even got a chance to look back during my high school years!

november 3: i saw my third year-first sem grades already, and i found out that i still lack 3 units for next sem! i need that major (EDSP 124)! please pray for me.

salamat. salamat sa pagdaan sa "blog" ko. salamat sa pagbasa ng entry kong ito. salamat. :)
kayo? how could i pray for you? text me. God bless you! :)

Kinda Cute, But The Message Is Not For Me

2006-09-23T17:20:00.000+08:00

M'innamorerò Sempre Di Te

Dai
Resta Qua
Resta amore qui con me
Scusa se ti chiamo amore
Io davvero non so
Se già ho persa o no
O non ti avuto mai
Io ti amore non mi arrendo
Pure se mi stai lasciando
M'innamorerò sempre di te

I Promise

jaci velasquez

Lord You know my heart
and know my desires
and the secret things i'll never tell
Lord You know them well

though i may be young
i see and understand
that at times, like sheep, we go astray
and things get out hand

so i promise to be true to You
and live my life in purity as unto You
waiting for the day when i'll hear You say,
"here is the one I have created just for you."

until then, O Lord
i will be content
knowing that true love will come someday
and will only come from You

'cause i have seen the suffering
that loneliness can cause
when we choose to give our love away
without a righteous cause

so i promise to be true to You
and live my life in purity as unto You
waiting for the day when i'll hear You say,
"here is the one I have created just for you."

Wee!

kare-reformat lang ulit ng PC namin kahapon.

finally, medyo bumibils na ulit sya, na-update pa ang Microsoft Office, WMP, YM, etc. namin. unfortunately, wala pa rin ata syang virus scanner.

may game ang UP mamaya... against NU. sana manalo tayo!

di ko pa rin napapanood ang (replay ng) laban ng Italy at France sa World Cup! >_<

madami pa kong dapat gawin, bakit ako nagba-blog?

Very Interesting

2006-07-29T23:07:00.000+08:00

i think this is the most interesting UAAP men's basketball game i've watched this season (so far -- that is, nang di naglaro ang UP).

biruin niyo, anlakas na ng NU ngayon? wala pang panalo ang FEU, at tambak ng NU ang UST kanina? (o_O) this is going to be an exciting season! sana lang din di tayo ma-bano. =b

UP FIGHT!

pagpasensyahan niyo na din yung pic na ni-post ko (medyo bata pa ata siya dito, mas bago yung nasa previous entry ko)... alangan namang NU or UST ang ilagay ko, di ba? shucks... my blog is becoming rubbish again. >_<>

for some biased reasons, i'm so happy Italy won the 2006 FIFA World Cup

it just so happened that i'm also taking Italian 10 & 11 this semester. otherwise, i wouldn't have all so suddenly been interested in football.

pero dahil italian ang kinukuha ko, at kasama sila sa world cup, nanalo pa sila, kaya na-dyaryo sila, nalaman kong cute pala ang team captain nila! wahah! :D but definitely, i'm not into football lately just because of him.
sorry wala akong makitang online pic ng moment na ito na nakaharap siya. but check out TIME Magazine's July 17 issue, siya, este, sila ang cover.

sorry, nag-blog pa ko about dito, i just thought he really looked good. :b but i think he's already married -- well, not that i could do anything even if he wasn't.

Lui si chiama Fabio Cannavaro. E' italiano e bellissimo! Lui e' il capitano della nazionale (lega calcio). Mi e' simpatico. Io ho voglia di lo incontrare. :D

Forza Azzurri!

Make me a servant
Humble and meek
Lord let me lift up
Those who are weak
And may the prayer
Of my heart always be
Make me a servant today.

10 Things I Hate About You*

2006-06-18T01:41:00.000+08:00

i hate the way you talk to me,
and the way you cut your hair.

i hate the way you drive my car.

i hate it when you stare.

i hate your big dumb combat boots,
and the way you read my mind.

i hate you so much it makes me sick,
it even makes me rhyme.

i hate the way you're always right.

i hate it when you lie.

i hate it when you make me laugh,
even worse when you make me cry.

i hate it when you're not around,
and the fact that you didn't call.

but mostly i hate the way i don't hate you,
not even close, not even a little bit, not even at all.

*from the movie, 10 Things I Hate About You
*disclaimer: i don't hate anyone, i just like the poem. :)

"The Christian mortifies the flesh by submitting to the authority of Christ -- to His authority in every area of his being, including his God-given but very dangerous sexuality. It's dangerous as dynamite. Fire and water, too, are gifts of God, but when they get out of control, the result is devastation."
-Passion and Purity, Elisabeth Elliot

Who Am I?

2006-05-13T11:58:00.000+08:00

"not because of who i am,

but because of what You've done.

not because of what i've done,

but because of who You are."

-who am i?, casting crowns

"What is man that you are mindful of him, the son of man that you care for him?" Psalm 8:4

by Elisabeth Elliot

i can still remember my former PP (prayer partner) bceL telling me that we shouldn't lose hope in finding the one. "ibig sabihin nun, kaya pang gumawa ni Lord ng lalaking tulad niya."

we couldn't have been better PPs. if i'm not mistaken, we both already had negative views on men then. but eventually, we also both came to the point where we told God, "Lord, ang galing, may lalaki pa palang ganito?"

people say that stories with happy endings only happen in fairytales. they also say that perfect love stories only happen in silver screens, that there are no prince charmings. i beg to disagree. as in every story, there is an introduction, a plot, a climax and a closure.

jim and elisabeth elliot's love story served as an inspiration and encouragement for me to continue to hope and pray and ask God to give me one heck of a love story. plus, lately i've been receiving forwarded text messages and words of wisdom that even more encourages me to continue to pray, hope and trust the Lord for that man, in His way, in His time.

to elisabeth elliot, to bcel, to the people who continually gives me hope and to God: thank you. :)

*a must-read! :D

SVCF Retreat '06

2006-04-07T20:30:00.000+08:00

mt. hermon prayer mountain (or garden)
april 3-6, 2006

one blood. one love. together bearing one name.

organizers (present): k.Frank, a.Dianne, Jeremy
attendance: a.LAy, Faith, a.Rachel, k.JB, k.Eugene, k.Pao
with the special participation of: Caleb

grabe. sobrang nakaka-bless. i can't even begin to describe the feeling, the insights, the bond, the experience and the unity.

grabe din talaga ang grace ni Lord. after about a month of asking (or begging) for my father's permission, one faithful thursday just came and my father just told me that he'll be giving me this amount for payment, this amount for baon and planned on how i would be able to arrive in UP around 7 in the morning. i can't believe my ears that after a day, i think, i asked my father, "daddy, di ba pinayagan mo na ko sa retreat?" while talking with someone on the phone. it was truly God's grace.

after trekking up the approximately 124-step stair up to our cabin (which was the highest located structure on the area); laughing our lungs out during meal times; swimming in "sync"; running the (amazing) race; sharing one big pack (or box) of toblerone; ridding our sink of the black ants; playing with the cats; washing the dishes while the water keeps giving up on us; spending our quiet times alone; listening to the word; crying our concers to the Lord; and praying as one, i know i'll (and we'll) never be the same again.

unity.

sigh

2006-03-17T23:12:00.000+08:00

the song that never fails to make me sigh.

OUT OF MY LEAGUE
stephen speaks

it's her hair and her eyes today
that just simply take me away
and the feeling that i'm falling further in love
makes me shiver, but in a good way

all the times i have sat and stared
as she thoughtfully thumbs through her hair
and she purses her lips, bats her eyes as she plays
with me sitting there slack-jawed and nothing to say

'cause i love her with all that i am
and my voice shakes along with my hands
'cause she's all that i see and she's all that i need
and i'm out of my league once again

it's a masterful melody
when she calls out my name to me
as the world spins around her, she laughs rolls her eyes
and i feel like i'm falling but it's no surprise

'cause i lover her with all that i am
and my voice shakes along with my hands
'cause it's frightening to be swimming in this strange sea
but i'd rather be here than on land
yes, she's all that i see and she's all that i need
and i'm out of my league once again

***
ewan. but i think i'm so fond of persons who notice even the smallest details, movement and imperfection and sees it as something so wonderful. *sigh* ang ganda!

wohoo! three entries in one night! :)
God bless you all and good night!

A Stupid Joke

2006-03-17T22:46:00.000+08:00

nilagnat ako nung wednesday.

and from then on, mawawala, tapos babalik, tapos mawawala, tapos babalik.
friday na. mainit ulit ako.

sabi ng kasama namin sa bahay kanina, "namumula nga 'yung ganito niya." (habang hinahawakan niya ang kaniyang mga pisngi)

sabi ko naman, "wow! rosy cheeks! edi dapat hindi na 'ko magpagaling para rosy cheeks na lang palagi?"

very stupid indeed. when i should be claiming victory over sickness. sorry Lord.

***
btw, katitingin ko lang sa salamin, at akalain niyo, maganda talaga ang buhok ko pag malamig ang panahon? hahah! :D

anyway, i'm feeling better now and God willing, di na ko bibinatin (tama ba yung term?) pa ulit. salamat sa prayers, SV! *hug*

oh well.

Strong Enough

As I rest against this cold hard wall, will you pass me by?
Will you criticize me as I sit and cry?
I had fought so hard and thought that all my battles had been won
Only to find the war had just begun

Is He not strong enough?
Is He not pure enough?
To break me, pour me out and start again?
Is He not brave enough?
To take one chance with me
Please can I have one chance to start again

Will my weakness fall and and now make me suffer for a lifetime?
Is there any way to be made whole again
If I be renewed and find forgiveness by the strength I've never had
Will my scars forever ruin all God's plans?

He took my life into His hands
And turned it all around
In my most desperate circumstance, is where I'm finally found

That You are strong enough
That You are pure enough
To break me, pour me out and start again
That You are brave enough
To take one chance on me,
Oh thank You for my chance to start again

Bakit?

2006-01-07T01:00:00.000+08:00

...ang saya mag-drive?
siguro nga dahil bagong natutunang skill yun para sakin.

...ang sakit ng right arm ko?
ahh, dahil nag-PE ako nung thursday.

...ako nagb-blog?
ewan. dahil katatapos ko lang mag-friendster?

...ang ganda ko?
biyaya kasi yan ng Diyos. =D

[Love] Song For No One

2006-01-02T01:15:00.000+08:00

for no one talaga.
i just find the lyrics and the guitar accompaniment cute.

Parokya Ni Edgar
Halina sa Parokya

GITARA
Bakit pa kailangan magbihis
Sayang din naman ang porma
Lagi lang namang may sisingit
Sa twing' tayo'y magkasama
Bakit pa kailangan ng rosas
Kung marami namang
Mag-aalay sa'yo
Pupuno na lang ng paawit
Maghihintay ng pagkakataon

Hahayaan na lang silang
Magkandarapa na manligaw sa'yo
Idadaan na lang kita
Sa awitin kong ito
Sabay ang tugtog ng gitara
Idadaan na lang sa gitara

Mapapagod lang sa kakatingin
Kung marami namang nakaharang
Aawit na lang at magpaparinig
Ang lahat ng aking nadarama

Pagbibigyan na lang silang
Magkandarapa na manligaw sa'yo
Idadaan na lang kita
Sa awitin kong ito
Sabay ang tugtog ng gitara
Idadaan na lang sa gitara

New Year Dorm Encounter

2006-01-01T23:03:00.000+08:00

new year ngayon.

kaya kahit lahat na halos ay nagsasabi na may pasok na talaga bukas, hindi ko pa rin matanggap.

isa lang kasi ang class ko tomorrow, 7am pa. hindi pa din pala sure kung meron nga kasi one month na ata kaming hindi nagkikita ng prof namin sa subject na iyon.

anyway, dahil may pasok na daw, hinatid na ko sa dorm -- only to see na SARADO PA ANG DORM! di ba dapat days before ng class pa bukas na ang dorm?!

so, umuwi na lang ulit kami. sayang sa effort, sayang sa time, sayang sa gas. nagka-hope pa ko na sana wala na nga talagang pasok tomorrow, but no, meron ata talaga. nangangamba pang mag-absent na lang ako (if ever meron nga kaming class). color coding kasi kami pag Monday at marami pang dahilan.

in the end, na-frustrate lang ako kasi pumunta pa kami ng dorm at wala din pala. ewan ko ano dapat ko maramdaman: saya (dahil extended ng one day bakasyon ko), pagod, inis (dahil sa dorm), takot (dahil baka mag-absent ako -- totoo!) or wala lang (para happy, happy na lang).

WALA LANG na lang siguro, para happy lang. :)

happy new year!

Your word is a lamp unto my feet

bumalik kami (ako, ate ko, mommy ko at daddy ko) sa alma mater ko. sinundo kasi namin yung mas nakababata ko pang kapatid. galing kami sa UPD at UPM nun -- enrollment na kasi.

2005-08-27T02:36:00.000+08:00

oo, ka-birthday ko ang tindahang open 24 hours. tandaan! :)

Your Birthdate: July 11

Your birth on the 11th day of the month makes you something of a dreamer and an idealist.

You work well with people because you know how to use persuasion rather than force.

There is a strong spiritual side to your nature, and you may have intuitive qualities inherent in your make up, too.

You are very aware and sensitive, though often temperamental.

Although you have a good mind and you are very analytical, you may not be comfortable in the business world.

You are definitely creative and this influence tends to make you more of a dreamer than a doer.

Someone

2005-08-24T23:32:00.000+08:00

who antagonized our peaceful pag-tambay a while ago.

further reading: jo's blog (nasa links ko siya).

intro.

jo: na-late sa group meeting, iniwan ng groupmates, tumambay na lang.
bibang: may film showing ng 10am, maaga dumating ng up, tumambay muna.
barbie: iniwan ng roommates, ayaw makatulog kasi sayang ang araw, tumambay.

danj: dumagdag sa grupo at tumulong samin nung nasa tambayan na si someone.
a.sarah: naabutan si someone for about 3-5 minutes.

kasama ko si jo at bibang sa tambayan kanina. kami ay payapang nag-uusap ng tungkol sa kung anu-ano, habang ako ay nagpa-praktis mag-gitara.

eto na si mr.antagonist, a.k.a. paul, who "coincidentally bears the name of the first Christian criminal" (if i may quote him), who also happens to be an atheist (don't get me wrong, i have nothing against atheists), lumapit sa tambayan ng parang hinabol ng aso.

body.

hapong-hapo siya, teka, more of nanggigil siya nung lumapit siya samin at nagsalita ng mabilis. tinanong niya, "are you part of this group?" then points to our tambayan's beautiful, tutti frutti nameplate (salamat sa publit), which says "state varsity Christian fellowship".

bigla siyang nagdadadaldal ng tungkol sa Christianity at ang supposed pitfalls nito.

i felt that he was also trying to persuade, convince, or more like coerce us to also turn our backs on Christianity. but when i suggested that he reread the Bible, he said in a raised voice, "don't force me to read the Bible!" sir, i was only suggesting.

ano pa bang fallacies niya? he was saying that Christians are no different than robots. dahil daw sa obedience at new life. what happened to free will? kung robots kami, edi perfect kami. edi bakit nagagalit siya sa isang american pastor dahil sa slip-of-the-tongue nung pastor dahil na rin siguro sa galit niya? kasi imperfect kami.

isa sa mga last words niya, "this is my stand and i hope you just respect that." sabi naman ni jo, "yes sir, we respect your opinion and we also expect that you respect ours."

hindi nga kami philo major, pero ang daling makita ng mga fallacies niya.

at bago siya umalis: nag-apologize naman siya, at nagsabing "there's still hope for you Christians after all." lahat daw kasi ng Christians na nami-meet niya at inaaway niya tulad ng ginawa niya samin ay kino-condemn siya.

conclusion.

honestly, i felt antagonized by his everthing - physical appearance (chinese, tall, chubby), the way he approached our tambayan, the way he just blurted out his anger to us. siguro nga kailangan lang niya ng vent, at kami ang naging vent niya.

personally, i felt blessed for having met him. i felt how blessed i am for knowing and accepting God.

i felt pity for him and his disturbed soul. however, on the other hand, i felt hope for him because who knows that during his journey to disprove God, he might find Him there again.

we prayed after that. we prayed for him. we thanked the Lord for guiding our words. we believe that everything we had said was everything that God wanted us to say. we thanked the Lord for keeping our temper low and for not allowing us to engage in a debate with mr.antagonist.

ang magagawa na lang talaga natin sa ngayon ay ipagdasal siya. so please do so.

Hematoma

2005-08-20T18:40:00.000+08:00

sabi ng courtside reporter ng ateneo kanina:

"quimson... got elbowed in the right cheek bone... this injury is actually called a hematoma..."

hematoma. yea right. pasa! ang hematoma ay pasa. kelangan pa bang tawaging injury at pagandahin ang tawag para malala ang dating? waha..

basta, nanalo UP kanina! wahoo! versus NU nga lang. ;P

Song I Want To Hear Right Now*

2005-08-20T00:30:00.000+08:00

especially for you

especially for you
i wanna let you know what i was going through
all the time we were apart
i thought of you
you were in my heart
my love never changed
i still feel the same

especially for you
i wanna let you know i was feeling that way too
and if dreams were wings you know
i would have flown to you
to be where you are
no matter how far

and now that i'm next to you
no more dreaming about tomorrow
forget the loneliness and the sorrow
i've got to say
it's all because of you

and now we're back together, together
i wanna show you
my heart is oh so true
and all the love i have is especially for you

especially for you
i wanna let you know you mean all the world to me
how i'm certain that our love
was meant to be
you changed my life
you showed me the way

and now that i'm next to you
i've waited long enough to find you
i wanna put all the hurt behind you

*narinig ko kasing kinakanta 'to ni... niya. well at least 'yung chorus. ;)

Eucharistiana

2005-08-18T23:39:00.000+08:00

SPED school.

pumunta kami dito kanina. kasama ang mga co-apps ko at members ng ina-apply-an kong org sa educ para sa mga sped majors (UPSEC), para sa mini-canART! art workshop.

it was truly a humbling experience for me to see those kids. i felt blessed to have not been in the same situation like them. i felt blessed to have been able to mingle with them, assist them in an art workshop, and get to know some of them.

welcoming sila nung dumating kami dun. wala namang naka-gulat sakin ng masyado, kaya yung takot na naramdaman ko dahil hindi ko alam kung ano ang dapat kong i-expect na gagawin nila ay hindi naman nangyari.

ang mga kasama sa table na in-assist ko ay sina ian, micho, carlo, richard at dageid. at ang 14-year old na si ian ramos ang in-assist ko ng todo. nakakatuwa siya, mabait at gentleman. oo, gentleman. pinagbuksan niya ko ng pinto, pinaupo din niya ako kasi nakatayo lang ako nung ina-assist ko siya. humbling experience talaga.

ang isa pa ay ang 18-year old na kasama sa katabi naming table, si david pascual. nung natanggap kasi niya yung name tag niya, pinapakita niya sakin. tapos nung lumapit ako sa table nila (dahil ka-table niya si rojan, na sabihan mo lang ng kahit anong date ay kayang sabihin kung anong araw yun), nagsusulat siya ng name dun sa artwork niya. akala ko "david" sinusulat niya, pagkatapos pinakita niya sakin, "barbie" pala sinulat niya! *aww* magaling naman si david sa mga banda.

overall, hindi ako nagsisisi na sumama sa activity na ito, although na-absent ako sa isa kong class. :( but still, this was truly a humbling experience and a serious reality check for me.

kaya ako ay patuloy na nagpapasalamat kay Lord for giving me such opportunities.

UPIS-ISCF

2005-08-17T23:18:00.000+08:00

lumabas na kami ng mga kagrupo kong ISCF papuntang UPIS kanina.

with: k.Mark, k.Pao, a.Hilda and k.Billy, para sa large group.

grabe, kailangan na rin ng "kuya" sa pangalan ni billy. pati ako, ate barbie na! oh well, masaya naman.

nung una kasi, natatakot ako kasi akala ko kami pa yung mag-a-approach o maghahatak ng mga high schoolers. yun pala, organization na talaga sila.

nakakatuwa dahil ang babait nila. nakakatuwa dahil ang warm nila. nakakatuwa dahil mabilis silang pakisamahan. nakakatuwa dahil kaya na nilang mag-handle ng large group - sana makita ko rin sila pag small groups.

nakaka-bless kasi maraming pumunta -- kahit na inabot ata ng 30 minutes bago matawag ang majority sa kanila, buwan kasi ng wika. nakaka-bless dahil madaming high schooler ang passionate and/or gustong mapalapit pa sa Diyos.

i can't wait until the wednesday after next.
God bless ISCF! :)

Stalker!

2005-08-12T00:22:00.000+08:00

k.Matt: barbie, dinalaw ko yung blog mo kanina a.
barbie: bakit?? waah! bakit mo tinignan yung blog ko? walang sense yun e.
k.Matt: e ganun naman talaga ang blog, di ba? senseless, para makita talaga kung sino yung tao.

aww... thanks k.Matt! nagka-sense kagad ang senseless kong blog. ;D

si k.Matt yan -- ang stalker ko.

iso-stalk daw kasi niya ko para malaman niya pag kakain na ko (sa casaa), magpapalibre na siya sakin. hahah... :) ayan, k.Matt, nasa blog na kita! salamat sa tag... at salamat din sa'yo dahil may stalker na ako! nyay! ang pathetic. x) God bless you! *hug*

CTC Seminar

2005-08-07T12:38:00.000+08:00

naaalala ko tinatanong-tanong pa nila kung ano ibig sabihin nung huling 'C'.

anyway, ang saya nung Counselors' Training & Consultation seminar nung friday hanggang kahapon.

daming natutunan, daming na-realize, daming nakilala at daming nakain! ;P

nakaka-enlighten at nakaka-bless talaga. i'm sure lahat ng kasama ko na-bless din. i'm glad pinayagan at nakapunta ako. sayang nga lang di ko natapos.

bonding na rin yun para sa aming ISCFers. sayang wala si ruth.

ang bait talaga ni Lord, binibigyan Niya ako ng opportunities para mag-grow pa. :D

Waah!*

2005-08-02T20:55:00.000+08:00

*in-approve ako ni *toot* sa friendster! i'm so happy! :)

*ano ba yan? puro basura na laman ng blog ko. i need to blog something sensible, quick!

UAAP Thingy

2005-07-30T22:12:00.000+08:00

natalo ang UP sa laban kanina. bawi na lang tayo next time.

naalala ko lang 'yung sinabi ko kay daddy nung mga panahong tapos na 'ko kumuha ng UPCAT, pero 'di pa lumalabas 'yung results.

sabi ko, "daddy gusto ko 'pag 'di ako pumasa sa UP pasok mo ko sa kahit anong school na member ng UAAP, huh?"

mababaw na dahilan, alam ko.
pero buti na lang pumasa naman ako.
share lang.

ang bait talaga ni Lord. :D

Uhm...

2005-07-30T11:24:00.000+08:00

may laban ulit ang UP mamaya.

laban sa ateneo.

right now, i'm totally crushing on two UP basketball players.
pero syempre, mas crush ko pa rin yung isa.

*haay*

wala lang. i'm just having thoughts right now. (oo, nag-iisip ako.)
and oh, guess what i'm feeling while typing this?

anyway, i hope they win.

God bless you UP Fighting Maroons!
God bless UP!
God bless us.

Still Nowhere but UP

2005-07-16T16:47:00.000+08:00

last july 9, after the UAAP opening ceremony, my father told me "'yan na 'yung lalampaso sa inyo," when the ust growling tigers entered the araneta basketball court for the first game: up vs ust.

beh.

last july 14, i told the ikot jeepney driver "para," and headed for the all-girls dormitory i currently reside in, carrying my dinner and being super excited to eat it since i was hungry. but an overwhelming, high-pitched screams and loud applause welcomed me inside. i instantly knew that the noise was coming from, where else, the tv area.

they were all watching the up vs dlsu game. that was up's second game. with only about 1 minute and 45 seconds left, i thought i could hold my hunger for that long and wait for the end. "54-49," a friend of mine replied after asking what the scores were. "up 'yung lamang." yea, i would definitely watch this, i thought.

so i watched the game with them only to feel the supposed 1 minute and 45 seconds remaining time turn into something like 15 more minutes due to the timeouts, free throws, and commercial breaks. in the long run, we won 61-56.

yay!

i pray that this would be a different season and that their wins wouldn't stop here. ;)
let's go UP! :D

Happy Birthday to Me!

2005-07-11T00:37:00.000+08:00

Lord,

thank You for another day,
thank You for another year.
thank You for making me 18 years old today.
thank You for the gift of life.
thank You for being my God.

Barbie

Nowhere to go but UP

2005-07-09T22:09:00.000+08:00

july 9, 2005

this is my first time to watch a UAAP opening ceremony.
this is my first time to watch a basketball game live.
this is my first time to watch the UP Fighting Maroons live...

...and they won! :)

they won against the UST Growling Tigers.
10-16, 26-26, 45-46...
but in the end we emerge winners with 69-66 points.

they say that pregnant women are lucky.
are persons who will be celebrating their 18th birthday also lucky?
(nyak! nag-feeling lucky charm. :D)

i don't know.

but one thing's for sure: God answers prayers. :)
mabuhay ang mga iskolar ng bayan!

PM at PP

also: perfect melancholy and peaceful phlegmatic

bago ang lahat, maraming salamat kina k.benjie at k.pao sa kanilang personality test na nakababaliw. :)

twice ko nang sinagutan 'yon, at kahit magkaiba ang sum ng bawat column sa dalawang beses na pagsagot ko, may isang (or dalawang) bagay na consistent: pinakamataas ang perfect melancholy, sumunod ang peaceful phlegmatic.

siguro naman give-away na ang meaning ng perfect at peaceful. eto naman ang sa melancholy at phlegmatic. melancholy: great sadness, depression; phlegmatic: slow, calm, not flustered.

ayon sa pagkakakilala ko sa sarili ko, hindi ako ganyang-ganyan. pero may mga characteristics na nakalista dun na tama sa akin. siguro may katotohanan nga yung test na 'yun.

kung curious kayo at gusto niyong malaman ano ang ugali ko 'daw' at kung ano naman kaya kayo, i-text o kausapin lang ang kambal na gonzales. sigurado akong willing silang tumulong sa inyo, lalo si k.pao. :)

disclaimer: hindi ako napakiusapang mag-advertise ng kambal na iyon. natuwa lang akong i-advertise sila. kung ayaw nila kayo i-accommodate, wag niyo na sila pilitin, busy din naman sila. di ba? :D

What to blog?

2005-06-11T00:49:00.000+08:00

what to blog...

what to blog...

what to blog...

grabe. i just realized that i have been blogging for four months (and counting) already. time flies.

i'll just add another entry later -- when i already have a good idea on what to write and share about, and when i don't feel light-headed anymore.

'til then, good night. or shall i say, good morning?

*yawn* it's already waaay past my bedtime, and i can hear my bed calling my name. matutulog na 'ko, saglit na lang.

once again, to the one reading this, thank you, God bless you and good... morning. :)

true -- ryan cabrera

i won't talk, i won't breathe
i won't move till you finally see
that you belong with me

you might think i don't look
but deep inside in the corner of my mind
i'm attached to you

i'm weak it's true
cause i'm afraid to know the answer
do you want me too?
cause my heart keeps falling faster

i've waited all my life to cross this line
to the only thing that's true
so i will not hide it's time to try
anything to be with you
all my life i've waited
this is true

you don't know
what you do
everytime you walk into the room
i'm afraid to move

i'm weak it's true
i'm just scared to know the ending
do you see me too?
do you even know you met me?

Orange

2005-03-30T09:24:00.000+08:00

n 1 : reddish yellow citrus fruit
2 : color between red and yellow

a few days ago, while my family and i were in a i-feel-lazy-so-let's-just-lie-down mood, i ended up remembering and actually sharing one moment in my childhood when my neurons weren't working very well.

when my sisters and i were just pre-schoolers, our parents normally taught or reviewed us for our classes, especially examinations. i was about four to five years old when this instance happened: my mom was reviewing me for a spelling test for the next day's english, or probably language, exam. if i'm not mistaken, some of the words she was making me spell were table, people and orange.

who in this world would have known that the one word that i most dread to spell would actually someday become one of my favorite (read: not fruit) colors? orange was usually the last word she would ask me to spell, but not like she knew i was having a hard time spelling it, maybe it was the last word on the list.

anyway, i clearly remember that during one time when my mom was asking me to spell words, when she was about to ask me to spell orange, someone went looking for her. *whew* saved by the bell. assuming that she would eventually forget that she was asking me to spell that word, i ran to the kitchen and distracted myself. however, after talking to my 'savior' (whoever that was) she headed to the kitchen, approached me and asked me to spell orange!

although i most dreaded to spell that word, i always get its spelling right everytime. but after spelling it correctly, i can't seem to remember the letters i murmured to get its spelling right.

my mom and my sisters laughed at me when i shared that experience with them and i thank God for having made me experience, remember and share that event, for it had always brought me (and this time, my family) amusement and joy reminiscing my childhood.

How Much Does God Love You?

2005-03-20T13:29:00.001+08:00

by Barbara J. Hall

do you ever look up to see the stars at night?
have you tried to count them all or imagine their number,
feeling small and insignificant
and overwhelmed at the sight?

do you ever try to picture the hand that put each star in its place,
that knows their number, and -- more importantly --
knows that you are looking up
to see the vastness of His universe?

He sees your face, hears your thoughts and reads your heart.
God loves you more than all the stars in heaven.
there's an endless amount of love that He is sending you,
and His love is there to cover every moment of you life.

Re-Bonding

2005-03-14T18:42:00.000+08:00

activity: bonding! :)
venue: chocolate kiss
members present: a.mina, a.lovelle, a.jenny, ruth at bianca

katatapos lang ng bonding namin ng cg kanina sa chocolate kiss. o di ba? :)

ang saya talaga. kasi sobrang nag-enjoy talaga ako sa cg naming ito e. bukod na sa puro kami babae at pwedeng pwede kami mag-share ng 'girl things,' iba e. basta. i'm sure nararamdaman din naman ito ng iba sa respective cg's nila, pero basta, i can't thank the Lord enough. sobrang dami kong natutunan, na-realize, na-share at na-open sa cg na ito. hindi ko na nga alam kung dapat ba akong malungkot kasi tapos na kami, o magsaya kasi each of us has left a part of her to each and everyone.

hindi talaga coincidence at lalong hindi accident na kami ang nakabilang sa grupong ito. alam kong si Lord ang gumagabay samin sa bawat cg meeting namin, at alam kong Siya rin ang pumili sa mga taong makakabilang dito.

nakaka-amaze lang talaga si Lord kasi iba talaga 'pag Siya ang kumilos. sa meetings namin, sa mga panahon na nagtawanan, nagseryoso, nagdaldalan, nagbahagi at nagdasal kami, lahat yun, pinangunahan ni Lord.

haay... feeling ko paikot-ikot na ako dito. i'm not that good with words, and i can't exactly and concretely share how the Lord has helped me grow more in the fellowship and in Him. sana mabalikan ko itong entry na ito para mas ma-express ko ng mabuti yung gusto kong ma-share. sobrang overwhelmed pa talaga ako sa joy at peace na dulot sakin ni Lord ngayon.

gagawa pa ko ng individual messages dito, pero saka na, kelangan ko talaga mag-research e. promise, babalikan ko 'to. :)

thank You Lord!
i love You Lord!

Part 2

2005-03-10T18:37:00.000+08:00

naki-sit-in / nag-scribe ako sa part 2 ng isang interview kanina.

ang interviewee? si a.anna.
at ang kaniyang interviewer? si k.matt.

according to a lot of reliable, Christian sources, who also happen to be my orgmates, lahat (or at least, the majority) ng ini-interview ni k.matt ay pinapaiyak niya. lagot ka a.anna!

however, having witnessed k.matt's renowned interviewing technique, okay lang naman e. siguro dahil nag-scribe lang ako, di ba? pero kinaya naman ni a.anna e. go girl!

anyway, gusto ko lang i-share na marami akong nakuhang impormasyon, natutunan at na-realize sa kanilang pagtatalastasan kanina. it was worth spending about 2 hours sitting on the 'grass' of the sunken garden listening to them and taking notes of their discussion.

sayang nga lang, dapat dun ako kay k.budj (at sa interviewee niyang si k.eugene) magsa-scribe, kaso hindi ako pwede sa napagkasunduan nilang time. di ko din kasi alam na may continuation pa pala yung interview nila, di naman ako nasabihan ni k.budj. i'm sure marami din akong matututunan sa kanila. unfortunately, ganun talaga...

kaya next time, magsi-sit-in ulit ako. :)

Consuelo de Bobo

2005-03-10T00:38:00.000+08:00

yay!

na-figure out ko (kahit paano) kung paano mag-html! wahoo! tignan niyo yung links sa sidebar. o diba, parang gawang pro?! :)

pagbigyan niyo na ko, pampalubag loob lang. first time ko mawalan ng wallet e. but i still pray na mahanap ko pa yun... nandun pa naman yung id ko -- sana naman mawindang na siya dun sa picture ko at ibalik kagad sa eng'g or sa our or ihatid na niya sa tambayan or somewhere!

haay... kelan pa kaya ulit ako makakapag-blog ng matino?

ocia, i need to sleep already. i-try niyo na yung mga ni-link ko. tignan natin kung effective. ;)

Philippians 4:6-7

2005-03-09T23:51:00.000+08:00

"Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus."

07 mar '05, mon, lunch: lumabas ang wallet ko sa bag ko, bumili ako ng lunch.
08 mar '05, tues, lunch: walang barya si isay, papautangin ko sana muna...

then was the painful revelation.

di ko talaga alam kung paano at kailan siya nawala, pero nawawala talaga siya. wala sa dorm, (obviously) wala sa bahay, wala rin sa bag... wala! hindi ko nga alam kung magpapasalamat pa ko kung may nangti-trip lang pala sakin e. *sigh*

so, to finish the story:
alas quatro na, wala na kong class, edi (as always) tumambay nanaman ako.
nakita, kinuha at binuksan ko si potchi.
bumati sakin ang isa sa mga 'nobela' ni migs.
unang linyang nabasa ko? Philippians 4:6-7.

Chapter 14

2005-03-03T21:17:00.000+08:00

habits of holiness
from the pursuit of holiness
by jerry bridges

"Just as you used to offer the parts of your body in slavery to impurity and to ever-increasing wickedness, so now offer them in slavery to righteousness leading to holiness." -Romans 6:19

tungkol ito sa mga habits -- habits na maganda (if ever meron), habits na wala lang (or so we may think) at habits na sobrang hindi talaga nakaka-glorify kay Lord.

una sa lahat gusto kong magpasalamat kay a.mina at k.frank, dahil kundi dahil sa kanila, di ako makakapag-'lead' ng cg. whehe..

ayun, tagal kong nagmumuni-muni kung ano ang pwede kong mai-share na habit na nilalabanan o nakalaban ko na. e wala akong maisip. but don't get me wrong, alam kong hindi ako perfect, di lang siguro talaga gumagana utak ko nun. hahah...

anyway, during the disscussion sa cg, na-realize ko na itong ka-adikan ko sa pag-iinternet ay hindi na rin pala maganda. inuubos nito ang time ko na pwede sanang mapunta sa paggawa ng homework o pag-quiet time. but no, obviously, nagne-net ako ngayon. pero ngayon, hindi na ko magbababad dito. kasi sana di ba kung nago-glorify si Lord dito, sa pagfe-friendster -- sa pagba-blog pwede pa e -- ko e hindi naman.

ayun, nais ko lamang namang ibahagi ang aking napagtanto noong lunes sa aming grupong sihay. sana lang nakuha niyo ang aking nais iparating. pagpalain nawa kayo ng Diyos! :)

Dreaming Soul

2005-02-27T13:21:00.000+08:00

parang ako nga rin ito. ;)

isa pa ito... wala lang, natuwa lang ako.

You Are a Dreaming Soul

Your vivid emotions and imagination takes you away from this world. So much that you tend to live in your head most of the time. You have great dreams and ambitions that could be the envy of all... But for you, following through with your dreams is a bit difficult.

You are charming, endearing, and people tend to love you. Forgiving and tolerant, you see the world through rose colored glasses. Underneath it all, you have a ton of passion that you hide from others. Always hopeful, you tend to expect positive outcomes in your life.

Souls you are most compatible with: Prophet Soul, Newborn Soul and Traveler Soul.

What Kind of Soul Are You?

Ice Dragon

2005-02-27T13:11:00.000+08:00

parang ako nga ito.

Your an ice dragon! Congrats! Out of all the
dragons, you are most powerful but do not like
to show it. A rare and special creture, you
have artistic style and are great at expressing
yourself. You think friends and Family are the
most important, and are a hopeless romantic.
But of course, as ice goes, you can be a little
cold or harsh at times. But not to worry, you

SVCF Ladies' Night

2005-02-25T17:35:00.000+08:00

syempre, may gents' night din.

grabe. hindi talaga ako nagsisisi na sumama ako sa ladies' night na ito. may mga ladies na akong nakilala, may mga ladies pang mas nakilala ko pa.

nakakalungkot kasi hindi kumpleto ang ladies (that goes for the gents also), pero nakakatuwa kasi sobrang nakaka-bless talaga. mas lalong masaya kasi di kami umabot dun sa 'laglagan time.' whehe...

i'll surely be looking forward to the next ladies' nights.

ito nga pala ang, shall i say, theme ng ladies' night: "I also want women to dress modestly, with decency and propriety, not with braided hair or gold or pearls or expensive clothes, but with good deeds appropriate for women who profess to worship God." -1 Timothy 2:9

Nakakawindang

kelangan ko pa ba i-expound? basta, di ko naramdaman ang pagkaka-cancel ng classes.

haay... yun lang.

Panahon ng mga Debut

2005-02-19T10:22:00.000+08:00

ngayon na nga pala ang taon na mag-de-debut ang mga ka-edad ko, no?

naisip ko lang. mamaya na kasi ang ang celebration ng debut ng bez ko. shucks! magmumukha nanaman pala akong girl na girl mamaya! ang ganda ko talaga! ;P

ang saya nga pala ng big f kahapon... kahit na intro, ice breaker at praise and worship lang naabutan ko, maraming pina-realize sakin si Lord. grabe talaga pag kumilos na Siya.

nawindang nga pala ako kasi ako yung pangalawang nabigyan ng punishment dun sa games! pinakanta ako ng bahay kubo ng puro 'o' lang yung vowels! humaba ata nguso ko kahapon! harhar...

ocia, next time na lang ulit! byersh!

SVCF Banquet / Apps' Night

2005-02-16T14:34:00.000+08:00

date: 15 February 2005
venues: PHAN, CASAA Photocopying Area, Tambayan, 2f Bahay ng Alumni

sabi nila sakin, matagal na daw nagkakaroon ng banquet night ang esbi, pero nawala at ngayon na lang ulit naulit. i'm glad naging bahagi ako nun. sabi din sakin, susunduin daw kami ng gents sa PHAN. ok na sana yun, pero later on nalaman kong magmi-meet pa pala sa place na mabubunot! waah! nawindang ako.

mga firsts ko kahapon:

01. first time kong mag-skirt sa up na nakita ako ng madlang tao! pero in fairness, masaya naman. sana maulit ulit. whehe..
02. first time kong magkaroon ng ka-'date' o partner na tipong pang prom. wala kasi kaming prom nung high school (palibhasa exclusive school! *argh*), di naman kami pinag-graduation ball nung mabait naming hs principal.
03. first time ko rin maayang sumayaw at sumayaw! (yikee! whehe..) pero hindi nga, first dance ko yung kagabi, for the same reason as number 2.

kaya para sa partner kong si glen (o diba, part ka na ng blog ko?), maraming salamat sa masayang evening. thanks for being there (kahit iba naman ata gusto mong partner), i enjoyed your company. salamat kasi di ka boring kasama, likewise, sana di ka na-bore sakin. ikaw pa ang first dance ko! o di ba? whehe.. ang corny ko. pathetic.

kina isay (or shall i say, ish?), k.jay at k.gilbert na kahit papaano ay napilit ko naman atang pumunta (kahit pupunta din naman ata talaga sila), salamat sa pagpunta!

sa gents, salamat sa pagkanta ng more than words. gustung-gusto ko kasi yun pag kinakanta ng acoustic (wushoo! as if ako lang yung kinantahan, no?).

*****************
more than words by extreme

saying "i love you" is not the words i want to hear from you
it's not that i want you not to say
but if you only knew how easy it would be to show me how you feel

more than words is all you have to do to make it real
then you wouldn't have to say that you love me
'cause i'd already know
what would you do if my heart was torn in two?
more than words to show you feel that your love for me is real
what would you say if i took those words away?
then you couldn't make things new just by saying "i love you"

now that i've tried to talk to you and make you understand
all you have to do is close your eyes
and just reach out your hand and touch me
hold me close don't ever let me go
*****************

pero hindi nga, masaya talaga! kaya sa mga susunod pang exec ng esbi, mag-banquet night ulit tayo! para magamit ko ulit yung skirt ko, sayang naman e. ;)

14th Day of February

2005-02-14T20:41:00.000+08:00

happy valentine's day!
happy hearts' day!

"Above all else, guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life." -Proverbs 4:23

ayon kay k.matt, s.a.d (single awareness day).
araw ng mga puso.
araw ng say it with chocolates sa org.
araw bago ng due date ng paper ko sa eng10.
araw na nagloko ang drive a ng laptop ko!

sa lahat pa ng mga araw na magloloko siya, ngayon pa, no? ngayon kung kelan kelangan ko talagang ma-save yung paper ko sa diskette nang mapa-print, ma-edit at mapa-photocopy ko na siya. but no, kinailangan muna niyang magloko ngayon. ngayon kung kelan naiwan pa sa bahay yung external floppy drive namin. *sigh*

kasalukuyang nasa main lib ako, nakikinig na tugtugin sa sunken garden. unang up fair ko pala ito, pero hindi ako na-e-excite. parang wala lang, pano hindi rin naman ako mag-e-enjoy dun kung may curfew ako ng 10 sa dorm. kaya nagpasya na lang akong tumungo dito, gusto ko mag-internet. dahil mamaya pagbalik ko sa dorm, ay ang huling pagkakataon kong i-edit yung paper ko kung may mga mali pa. at bukas, sana dumating nga si daddy dala ang aming external floppy drive nang matahimik na ang loob ko.

alam ko namang sa mga nagdaang araw ay medyo napabayaan ko (nanaman) ang quiet time ko. wake up call na sakin 'to ni Lord. as always, i had to learn things the hard way. pero ang bait talaga ni Lord kasi nagpapansin Siya sakin, hindi Niya ako pinabayaang matuyo ulit. thank You, Lord!

"It was good for me to be afflicted that I might learn Your decrees." -Psalm 119:71

Of Friendsters and Blogspots

2005-02-13T02:36:00.000+08:00

huwag magsalita ng patapos.

friendster:

first account: bcignacio17@yahoo.com

second account: barbieganda17@yahoo.com

blogspot:

this site: http://barbieignacio.blogspot.com

it was about two years ago when the friendster mania first erupted, and i could still remember telling my sister who, at that time, already had her friendster account, "ano nanaman yan?" then i told her and myself that i would never create a friendster account and allow myself to be addicted to such rubbish. i reasoned, "sayang lang sa oras at internet card yan."

i don't know what changed my mind, or how it all happend. but ironically, on a certain day of november 2003, i created my first friendster account -- which, who would have known, eventually led to the creation of my second account in july 2004.

but it doesn't end there: needless to say, i am currently attempting to maintain a blog, even writing my second entry! like what happened the first time, my sister already has her blog. similarly, i told her and myself, "'di ako gagawa niyan, nakakatamad mag-blog."

moral of the story: 'wag magsasalita ng patapos.

i don't know whether or not i am to believe the saying, history repeats itself, but it most certainly did.

now that it actually did, there are instances that were part of my excruciating past that i would not want history to repeat.

although the instances i have stated above aren't really those 'instances,' i am really grateful that He is always with us; that His grace always helps us. for as God once told Paul (who, by the way, is the patron saint of my high school), "My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is made perfect in weakness." -2Corinthians 12:9

kasi, wala ako kung hindi dahil sa Kanya.

Prologue

2005-02-12T08:17:00.000+08:00

the story that was...

a.beth: barbie may blog ka ba?
barbie: wala po... bakit?
a.beth: wala lang.

so, may i say na si a.beth ang salarin kung bakit ako nag-a-attempt na mag-blog? pwede. whehe... but thanks a.Beth!

sayang, hindi ako nag-computer specialization class nung fourth year. feeling artist kasi ako, kinuha ko painting specialization. may natutunan naman kaya ako? sana. at sana kahit hindi compspec ang kinuha ko, mapalago at mapaganda ko itong "blog" kong ito.

siguro hanggang dito na lang muna, ipo-post ko na muna ito nang makita ko na ang bunga ng aking pagtatangka. sana magustuhan niyo (kahit wala pa naman akong "friends" dito). ocia, byersh!
