18th Year for 1994 Kids :)

-
2012 is the year of the 1994 kids to turn 18. And so, I have lot of parties to go to.
Though I am always invited to a Debut Celebration before. There are always hindrances that makes me not to go to the parties. So I have no idea, what are the things done during such celebrations.

But for this year, since it's my & my friends' 18th year, I couldn't resist not to go. I wouldn't let a happy celebration pass without me :D

January 14, 2012: Bernadette celebrated her 18th birthday. Though it was a hassle for us, because the place is far from the city, and we have a problem with regards to rides, we've gone there just to celebrate with her, her special day :) Good thing, the attire was just casual. It wasn't that grand party but looks like one, because of the people. HAHAHA. I was one of the 18 candles there. ♥


That's Bernz' tarp. Yeah, she's a drummer and music lover.

That's the cake and the cupcakes with the 18 candles :)
That's me giving message to my melon dear :)))

Cha celebrated her birthday on September 27. It was the most stressful preparation we had. -.- We planned to have a surprise number for her. We had a problem on the schedule of practices. Since, we our skeds in school doesn't meet. But thank God, we found ways! The day before her special day, we don't have our outfits yet and also a costume during our surprise number. My video presentation isn't done yet also. Hassle, but God is so great, He made us finalize things just on time.

Last party we have attended, was Tin's debut which was just this November 23. :) This is the most rushed party, late notice, and everything. Short Prep. I didn't buy a new dress and others since she've just told me two days before. Then Thursday, I have a loaded sched. The venue was at the Clubhouse of Embarcadero de Legazpi. ♥

We arrived just on time, though it was awkward for us since we need to pass by first at the center of the mall. Lol.

I'm one of the 18 candles, as proxy for those who weren't around :)
While having my message as one of the 18 treasures. Wanna know what I've said? :)
" My gift for you is belt, kang nailing ko ito, ika tulos naisip ko, ta fashionista ka baga. There's also a pen here, since I've seen you strive hard for your studies this College. Happy birthday ulit Men! I love you now, always and forever! Friends 'til death do us part." :)
Good thing there was a ladies' room there. HAHAHA
I also have a pic with Karl. Hihi
with the bday girl :))))

Pineapple: Memories from a Jakarta Journey

-
Introduction – The Sweet Start Jakarta wasn’t on our original bucket list. But like the taste of pineapple — bold, unexpected, and just a little tangy — it surprised me in the best ways. I came for the adventure, maybe for the food, or perhaps just for the change of scenery. What I left with was a mosaic of memories: the chaos of traffic, the quiet of morning prayers echoing through the alleys, the colors of batik swaying in shop windows, and the smoky scent of cigarettes lingering on street corners. It wasn’t perfect. But it was vivid, loud, sweet, a little strange — and in the end, unforgettable. Day 1: A Midnight Landing and a Pineapple Plan We arrived in Jakarta just past midnight. Immigration was smooth, but finding our Indrive driver turned out to be more challenging than expected. The pickup area was confusing, and the language barrier made things harder. Messages got lost in translation, and for a while, we weren’t even sure if we were talking to the right person. But our d...

To my younger self, to my previous students, and to the system that failed both of us:

-
  I’ve carried this weight quietly, not always knowing what to call it — regret, shame, grief. But today, I want to face it with honesty. To my younger self: You didn’t even plan to become a teacher. You were promised something different — something closer to your real passion and advocacy. You said yes because you believed that, somehow, this would lead to your purpose. But the promise was broken. And instead of guidance, you were met with silence. Instead of support, confusion. You were thrown into a role you never trained for, yet expected to master it from day one. And when nothing felt right, when every step felt like a mistake, you kept pushing — even as you began to lose faith in yourself. I forgive you for feeling lost. I forgive you for doubting yourself. You were in a place where no matter what you did, it felt like it wasn’t enough. But I see now — your effort was real. Your heart was in it. Even in your lowest moments, you cared. To my students: I know I came across str...

My Moments of 2014

Merry Christmas, Everyone! Are you having the time of your life? 😊 How did you celebrate the birth of our Lord? I hope all is well with you and your loved ones. It’s been a while since I last blogged, so I thought I’d make up for it by sharing my best memories for each month of 2014. Let’s take a look back at a truly unforgettable year: JANUARY I welcomed 2014 at home with my family—no grand celebration, just a warm and simple one. On January 1st, we gathered with the Sarzuela Family, where we played games and exchanged gifts. Later on, my friends and I had our New Year’s celebration at the Raquion residence. 😊 We even planned an outing for Jussel’s birthday, but we had to cancel it due to a sad event—a friend’s mother passed away. We chose to be there for him instead. Brotherhood always comes first. FEBRUARY The month of love! I didn’t have a special someone to celebrate with, but my friends and my SRA family filled my heart with joy. I received small gifts and sweet gestu...
