The Best Monthsary I Had. :))

It's when I had to wait for 3 hours in a mall because you're still in class.
It's when it drizzled and started to rain when we got to church.
It's when we had a small "drama" all the way to the new restaurant we wanted to try.
It's when we got stuffed with the food, but weren't really satisfied because we didn't get to try their pizza.
It's when I struggled not to cry and then I heard you say something I didn't like.
It's when we stood for 25 minutes waiting and waiting for a ride home.
And all the while I had to shift between laughing and crying, smiling and frowning.
Keeping myself from looking somehow ridiculous.
But what can I do? That was how I really felt.

Still as I look back, it's the best monthsary I had.
Because you took me home and greeted my mom.
And went on listening to all my rantings.
I love the way you let me explain and say what I think and feel.
Talking things over and hugging and kissing with a little bit of crying.
I love the way you wipe away my tears (literally) and say how sorry you are.
And the way you tell me how much you love me.
So there you stayed until midnight just to make sure I'm alright.
When we bid goodbye I was more than okay, smiling and happy as can be.

At the end of the day it felt as if nothing went wrong and everything was perfect.
I realized that no matter how terrible a day could be, what matters is who you spend it with.
I can't help but smile at the thought of how much we love each other.
And for the Nth time I thanked God it's us and not somebody else.
No, I would never trade that day for anything else. <3

Happy Fourth Monthsary Vhartsy :))

How Sweet It is to be Loved by You

This song is really one of my favorite songs in the world. Makes my heart go skipping with happiness even on a bad day. It reminds me of how lucky I am to be loved by the people I also love. God bless James Taylor for this! :))

How sweet it is to be loved by you
How sweet it is to be loved by you

I needed the shelter of someone's arms, there you were
I needed someone to understand my ups and downs, there you were
With sweet love and devotion
Deeply touching my emotion
I want to stop and thank you baby
I want to stop and thank you baby (yes I do)

How sweet it is to be loved by you (feel so fine)
How sweet it is to be loved by you

I close my eyes at night
Wondering where would I be without you in my life
Everything I did was just a bore
Everywhere I went it seems I'd been there before
But you brighten up for me all of my days
With a love so sweet in so many ways
I want to stop and thank you baby
I just want to stop and thank you baby (woah, yeah)

How sweet it is to be loved by you (it's just like sugar sometimes)
How sweet it is to be loved by you

(Woah, yeah)

You were better to me than I was to myself
For me, there's you and there ain't nobody else
I want to stop and thank you baby
I just want to stop and thank you baby (woah, yes)

How sweet it is to be loved by you
How sweet it is to be loved by you (woah, now)
How sweet it is to be loved by you (it's like jelly, baby, woah now)
How sweet it is to be loved by you (just like honey to the bee babe, yeah now)
How sweet it is to be loved by you
How sweet it is to be loved by you

Now It's Christmas!

I just got home and mom asked me to help update our Christmas tree with more of those tiny lights she bought. Oh Christmas is just around the corner!! (*ha-ha! such a coincidence that our Tree stands at a corner in the meantime.*)

I used to say these past few weeks that it's only until i get my board exams done when I'd truly be able to feel the Christmas season.

How silly of me. (As i usually am)

Christmas IS NOT about me. It's definitely not about ME abstaining from thoughts of holiday shopping, Christmas parties and other unnecessarily tempting and commercialized activities we usually get busy with when December comes.

Rather, it's about JESUS and how He was born into this earth as a cute little baby so that a bunch of mean, silly kids like us could be saved from things much, much, worse than failing a two-day examination.

What a paradigm shift! Haha.

Happy Birthday, Jesus! :))

May you guys have a Merry Christmas!

Two Things.

Review and Blog only until December 19, 2011. :))

No facebook, except on special circumstances where data or information can only be accessed in the aforementioned website.

Super Mom! :-)

GGB ako today. Study mode.

Nahinto lang nung pinakiusapan ako ng nanay ko na hanapin ang PRC License niya sa mga bag na ginamit niya noon.

Walang card. Paalis na si mader para sa isang meeting. Kaya dali-dali akong pinagawa ng Affidavit of Loss.

Pagkasara ng gate, may narealize ako.

Wala akong karapatang gamitin ang GGB word sa aking sarili. HAHA.

Ang post na ito ay para sa nanay ko...

• Na kayang maglagay lipstick, magsuklay ng buhok, mag text at tumanggap ng tawag sa cellphone habang nagda-drive ng sasakyan.
• Na chini-chika ang sinumang makasabay sa bangko, supermarket, simbahan o saan man.
• Na takot tumawid ng kalsada.
• Na sobrang energetic, hindi ko pa naririnig sa kanya na pagod siya o tinatamad.
• Na sobrang kinukulit kami kahit na 10PM na dahil hindi pa kami nakakapag Rosary.
• Na naglalagay pa ng lipstick bago matulog. (no mirror needed ito)
• Na sa tuwing may gathering at nagkakayayaang mag Videoke, unang-una nyang kinakanta ang PARA SA AKIN ni Sitti Navarro.
• Na lagi-lagi, 100 ang score niya dito.
• At paulit-ulit, "nagugulat" siya na para bang chamba lamang ang score na iyon.
• At hindi namin kayang maging accomplice sa dramang ito dahil lagi naming binubulgar na EXPECTED na ang score na iyon, na siyang dahilan kung bakit iyon ang kanyang FIRST CHOICE. (lol!)
• Na kapag nanonood ng drama sa TV o sine, ay mas nauuna pang umiyak kesa artista.
• Na gustong-gusto kaming isama buong pamilya sa trip abroad. (yaaay!)
• Na hindi mapakali kung hindi niya napapa-snacks ang kasama niyang tao pag dumating na ang 3pm.
• Na super takot sa daga (LIVE MAN O VIA MEDIA)
• Na bumili ng 3 pares ng magkakatulad na sandals, damit at suklay (lahat in 3 different colors) dahil cute daw iyon at naeemphasize ang pagiging sisters namin ng tatlo ko pang kapatid na babae.
• Na ang pasensya ay mas mahaba pa sa San Juanico Bridge.
• Na hindi mahilig sa accessories maliban sa wristwatch at shades.
• Na hindi maluho sa anumang bagay.
• Na magbibirthday bukas. :))

Para sa Nanay ko na sobrang sweet, mabait at friendly, maganda at lahat na.

Para sa Nanay ko na sobrang idol namin.

Happy Happy Birthday Mama! We love you so much! :))

Keep The Faith

Grabe. Malapit na ang board exams. Hindi ko na alam kung ano pa ang gagawin kong paghahanda para sa dalawang araw na iyon. Aside sa simulan ang regular na Kegel's Exercise nang huwag maging hyperactive ang bladder ko, feeling ko marami pa akong hindi nababasang libro.

Kasi naman, habang padami ng padami ang nababasa kong libro at mga old board exams na sinagutan at chineck, mas lalo namang nababaklas itong right eye ko. Gore ba pakinggan? Pasensya na. I mean, naluluha kasi ako pag nagbabasa. Kaya yung eyelid ko nagiging dry and cracked. Tama ba naman yung napagsabihan ako one time nang normal voice lang, (pero feeling ko lang nka megaphone sya dahil talagang naconscious ako) .. Hala, Doll! Is that an infection? Parang gusto kong irewind ang sinabi nya at i-set iyon sa MUTE. At syempre ang sabi ko, Of course not, na-irritate lang yan, mejo marami rin yung binasa kong review materials eh. At totoo naman iyon. Ilang libong practice tests, plus 1000 previous board exam questions, at di mabilang na pages ng ibat ibang libro na ang nabasa ko.

Di ko naman sinasabi na nasa paramihan ng review materials ang sukatan ng pag-study. It's how you learn from them... at syempre kung paano mo ito i-aapply sa actual exam questions. Tama diba? Pero alam nating lahat na madaling sabihin iyon kesa gawin.

Ah basta. Gagawin ko lang lahat ng makakaya ko at si Lord na ang bahala sa lahat ng mga hindi ko kaya. Marami-rami rin ito. Kaya nga sa Kanya ko na ipapaubaya dahil di hamak namang mas magaling siya sa akin.

Kumbaga, TAG-TEAM kami ni Lord sa December 18 at 19. Hindi ako nag iisa at mas lalong hindi ko na kailangang solohin ang lahat ng worries sa mundo. Knowing that, solve na ako. :))

 

O.K.

After playing the staring game with my computer, I have, at last, grabbed all the courage to write something.

Hmm.
Uhm.
*Tick-tock*
*cricket sound*
pffft. (uy that's not a fart ha. LOL!)

Okay now i'll wait till i think up THAT something to write.

I'm Back!

Oh it's so much simpler, the new background i got. :) and yes xejjy! i finally have that comment box below!

What's a new comment box without new posts? Oh well. Here's one! LOL.

A Nonsense Post

FINALLY. I've changed my blogger interface into English. :)) Now it would be easier for Gilbert to read. Haha!

Thank you Xejjy for a real eye-opener! I am so excited to see your new template. I'm sure it would be sooo you! <3 

If The Shoe Fits...

I got a text message that says, "If true love is what we need, then why don't we recognize it when we see it?"

Pffft. People are natural-born grumblers.

It's because (more often than not) we make our own sugarcoated idea of what love is. We are blinded by the rigid criteria and expectations that we have so intelligently thought up for ourselves. He should be like this. She should be like that. The list goes on, and we realize we want it when it's too late.

And it's not always about love. It could be an opportunity. A job. A business. A friendship. Something that could give us happiness if we just give it a chance. We may not know, but it could be the best we'd ever have.

It takes skills to discern an opportunity and a good deal of courage to go for it.

I pray to God that I'll be able to do so. I hope you will, too.

If the shoe fits... wear it! <3

Patience is a Virtue :)

Oh Yeah!

After HOURS of tweaking, studying, and changing from one template to another, I've finally decided to settle on this cute and bubbly layout (which is soo meee!).

It's not perfect yet, though. But I've definitely come a long way. Will learn more about this.

Gotta give myself a good pat on the back. haha. <3

I FEEL SO OLD!

I can't update my blog. I mean, I want to get nice layouts and templates and stuff. But I don't think I know how. Or maybe I'm just not doing enough.


You might as well laugh and tease me. But yeah, I'm stuck with this layout and it's kinda sad.


I feel so old. *bitter laugh*

Temporarily Untitled :))

"I look like a bum who got himself a nurse for a girlfriend," you told me with the emphasis and sincerity only your eye-to-eye contact and half-smile could bring.

"We're more like the nurse-janitor couple you heard about in the radio joke," I added in a matter-of-fact way. Then another bout of laughter.

There we are in the nearest mall, me in my all-white Type C nursing uniform, and you in your green "Go Team" T-shirt, denim shorts, slippers and backpack to complete the look (I'm sorry I just HAD to be more specific on your getup for this post). But if people were keener in senses they would notice that despite our "funny loveteam" look, we are both happy, contented, and oh so in love with each other. (CHEESE ALERT!)

I am constantly amazed at how we always manage to squeeze in our irregular, hectic schedule the meager chance of seeing each other. Even if it means me walking 100kph after an exam because there's still 35 minutes left before it's your turn to go to your own review class. Even if it means you finding any reason to go to school just so we could be together on our way home. Oh, we do have our ways. Haha! :))

We'll I guess it just shows how much we love and enjoy being together, inside the bounds of rationality, of course. Talking to you is one of the best things in life. I smile like a fool and laugh my heart out when I'm with you and I don't care. <3

With this post I would like to thank you for all the things that we do so we could be together. Although it just comes naturally, not just an out-of-duty affair. I thank you for all the random times where we could sing and dance together, walk in the rain, eat till we get stuffed, whisper "I love you's" in public places when we think no one is looking, and just goof around with friends. I thank God for giving us all these funny and sweet moments that I will always remember. I thank you for the love and friendship, and for making me the proudest girlfriend on earth. :))

I love you so much! You make my heart swell with happiness and sometimes I just fear it might burst into a million pieces. <3

If it does, silhigon man nimo diba? janitor. hahaha. atik lang!! mwa. mwa. mwa. I so love you vhartsypiemyfatsunshineimissyoukaayo. :))

********

Due to our Pre-Board Exam activity, I was wearing my nursing uniform. Gilbert, my boy-and-friend, was going to have his usual after-class basketball game. Hence, the abovementioned attire. :))

Blog. Blogger. Bloggest.

Blog. Blogger. Bloggest.

It's not making any sense

Just wanted to write next 

What has popped up in my head

Oh, blogging can be mind-boggling

(Now that's a lucky rhyme!)

Just wanted to write something

As I wait for eating time. <3

FROM DOLLY TO XEJJY: A Reply

There would always be that one person who could make you - or at least try to - like what she likes doing.



And so my first blog would be for that girl who - with her powers - made me bring myself to her blog, read a post, stop in the middle, and had me signing up for my own account with the excitement of a gradeschooler filling up a slumbook. (well of course i got back to reading the post again afterwards.) HAHA!

This is to Shejerasadze M. Kamid. <3


Yes xejjy i welcome myself here at last! Haha. I'm so happy i got to read your blogs especially the one you wrote especially for me. OH IT MEANS A LOT! MAKES ME WANT TO BRAG :)) and thank you for writing it in bisaya. I'd say bisdak najud ka. haha. I know you know I would want to do this in your dialect. But i know you know that i dont know anything gyud. haha! So magbisaya pud ko :))



Happy pud kaayo ko xejjy na nameet tka. I'm so proud to have you as one of my dearest, best-est friends on earth (parang alien lang e no.). Gilbert may have Neil but I'd doubt if malabwan nila kung unsa ta as friends. makipagkompetensya gyud diay. haha!


And i miss you more!! sa FB og sa personal chika. haha. You will always remind me of how great my single life was, and also appreciate my not-so-single life (eto parang bagong kasal lang. haha). Yup i know wala pa kaayo ta naka talk about me not being single anymore, and our separation anxiety, but i want you to know that you always got a spot here in my heart that not even Gilbert (og aware xa ana) nor any girlfriend can ever take. <3 Please remember that i'm always here para tanang chika, way pili, about sa ako or sa imo or sa uban tao (na usually mas daghan haha). :)) salamat pud kaayo xejjy kay dako kaayo imong part sa among lovelife ni Taba. We both love you jud, you know that. ^^

Do you know our friendship makes me love being a girl? :)) Yes, talking is indeed our passion. Pag kauban ta, ang chika mahimong exercise sa kadaghan sa actions nato. hahaha. And yup tinuod jud na. Wala'y libre-libre, halos di naman gani mangaon. haha. Ü i also love the feeling na kaya nato buhaton tanan basta kauban ta. kanang murag naay adrenalin rush tanan. :)) I COULD BE THE GOOD VIBES NEUROTRANSMITTER BUT YOU SURELY ARE ONE OF MY VERY FEW RECEPTORS. I COULD BE MY BEST PAG NAA KA. pag magkauban ta naka activate tanan. kita najud ang pinaka-cool na friends! haha.


Yes, we complement each other gyud. Og proud pud ko nga dili kaayo ka buotan (sa uban. haha). I just love the way how your eyes SPARKLE with happiness and how they SPARK pag naay dili mao. hahah. Bongga para sa akin yan. Gusto nako na ma-work na ability. :))


Haha salamat pud nga dili ka KJ mukatawa. I believe that the essence of laughter is in the diameter of your mouth while laughing (hala sige imbento napud og saying. hahaha).


And about sa text? kinsa nag ingon na para lang sa mga crush og mag-uyab lang ang feeling na KAILANGAN magreply. OO. Kanang feeling na pag magtext ka, KAILANGAN makakita kog lain cellphone na pwede madelihensyahan og reply. hahaha! :)) yup, pwede manawagan sa SUN og GLOBE bsig gusto nila maging friends??

Ingon si Gilbert na ingon daw ni Lola Glory Ngo na swerte daw ang moles. Gusto pa nako mahibal-an kung unsaon nalang kung daghan na og moles, magka-match pajud! haha. Basig mag freakout si Lola. hahaha. :)) bitaw xejjy, I just feel gyud na kambal ta. Lahi rajud kung kita ang magstorya. Everything is funnier, sweeter, og mas freaky depende sa topic. (meaning ba nito ay exagg ta? siguro nga.haha.)

Ikaw jud ang babae na gusto nako ipa-ilaila sa akong mga anak in the future (okay let's not talk about the DAD. this blog is for YOU. i would write another blog for the dad. haha). And my daughters will envy Mommy Doll and Tita Xej and their friendship because it's simply one of a kind. And i will pray that God give them their own good friend. But right now I just wish honey and darling could find their very own xejjy, too, in the future. I wish every girl could find a friendship like ours. :))


You are beautiful, funny, sweet, thoughtful, crazy, honest, everything!! I thank God for giving you and the rest of the chikas to me. I am so excited to see us in the future. Let's have that happy business someday, dear. 

THANK YOU FOR WHO YOU ARE, XEJJY. 
I LOVE YOU SO MUCH MORE. MORE THAN YOU WILL EVER KNOW. :))

* I'd like to promote xejjy's blogs xejy.blogspot.com. Enjoy!*
