DREAMS DO COME TRUE

Image
Noong bata pa ako, when someone asked me kung ano gusto ko pag lumaki ako, lagi kong sagot "Teacher". Then nung lumaki na ako, ginusto ko din maging "Newscaster". Many times din pinangarap kong maging beauty queen. (I tried my best. Seriously. Pero hindi talaga yun calling ko. Haha) Ginusto ko din maging artista. (Siguro action star. Hahahaha) In short, madami akong pinangarap maging but end up graduated as an Accountant. Ang layo no? Hahaha Pero hindi dun natatapos ang lahat. 4 years ago, while my Mama is talking to one of his clients (a well-known fashion designer) napaisip ako, why not I-try ko mag sketch din? Kasi parang madali naman yung ginagawa niya. As a result, eto ang first sketch ko: Hahahaha.. that time super proud na ako sa sarili ko. Pero to tell you honestly, hindi madali. But then I tried, tried, tried and tried... lahat na halos ng scratch paper at likod ng notebook na makita ko pinagdrawingan ko. Hanggang sa na...

Should I cut down my check list?

Image
Many of us, most of all girls have our own checklist. A checklist for us to choose the right one. What if you meet a person na  you feel and also people around you feel that you look good together but doesn't comply on your checklist? Would you settle for less? Would you cut down your checklist? My answer is this: Whoever we meet in life, mapaFriendship man yan, family, relatives, workmates or future partner in life will never have everything we desire of them to have. In short no body is perfect. So pagdating sa pagpili ng future partner in life, hindi masamang may standard ka. Pero we need to evaluate if our standard is realistic or not. For example, sa checklist ko mismo I have these: ▪ matangkad (kasi pangarap ko maghigh heels pag kasama ko siya.haha) ▪ malinis ang sapatos (Turn on sakin pag malinis ang sapatos) ▪ ayoko ng maingay ngumuya pag kumakain (turn off naman ito) Above are examples of things that I can extend grace naman. Meaning even if those above traits ...

Start Again?

Image
Do you ever feel like a plastic bag, drifting through the wind, wanting to start again? Aha! Sounds familiar? Katy Perry’s Firework right? Yes it is! I think I’ve felt the same…there are times where I want to fly high, soar high like an eagle and leave everything behind.  Have you ever felt the same? The same feelings when you’ve made a mistake, felt bad, embarrassed, guilty, unhappy with the result, frustrated and all you’ve wanted to do is ride a time machine and then go back to the starting line. As if something never happened and as if you never made a mistake. But that won’t happen. Time machine isn’t real and what’s only real is the fact that all those things happen ed and sometimes things just happens.  I felt a little bit frustrated when things are getting tough and also when things aren’t going my way. Who would be happy when you want to do something but you can’t do it because you can’t? Yung tipong yun lang naman ang gusto mong gawin sa buhay ...

TEENAGE SUICIDE: DO WE CARE ENOUGH?

Image
As we are bombarded by news about teenage suicides, I felt uncomfortable again. Just today, I’ve read sad news about a 12-year-old Fil-Am girl who committed suicide after being relentlessly taunted by classmates who called her “slut” and “whore” and mocked her appearance on and offline.  “On May 22, she hanged herself with a belt at her family’s home, in Queens Village, New York. The seventh-grader left a suicide note apologizing to her family and recounting the torture she endured at the hands of bullies at her school.” Via GMA News Online ( http://www.gmanetwork.com/news/story/316787/pinoyabroad/news/after-pinay-girl-s-suicide-crackdown-on-us-school-bullying-urged ) Gabriel Molina, at the age of 12 committed suicide because of bullying. She's just one of them. Again, I felt so sad and also determined to open this issue to the public and also to the Christian community ‘coz maybe one of our friends, one of our family members or even us ourselves encounter t...

For Girls: Keep it! Hide it! Save it!

Image
"Jai, gusto niyang gawin yun. Ayoko eh. Pero nung sinabi kong ayoko, bakit daw? Hindi ko daw ba siya mahal? Pero paano kung iwanan niya ako? Paano kung makipag-break siya?" Those are the shocking words I've heard from a friend. This may not be shocking to others especially in this world full of sinners and full of self-satisfaction people. Sex. Why would this be an issue now if there are a lot of people doing it? Christians however are not exempted and even singles are not. It’s like a trending topic. We even consider it as a “wala lang” situation. If we were in the late 70’s maybe “sex” is still a sacred thing but nowadays it seems like a hobby for some. I want to be bold about this topic ‘coz our future is at stake.  By her question, I think you even told him that you don’t want to do that thing. So what you need to do is RUN AWAY from him. I think he doesn’t deserve you and your love. It may be hard, the cause may be BIG and the result may be painful for ...
