Theme for his birthday is to wear anything PINK..

It was hunny's birthday a day before he left Cebu (Sept20,2010)...so I decide to gave him a surprise birthday. Me, hunny and Zhe went to SM and get a table for us, we then ordered our meal. I went to Red Ribbon and ordered a chocolate cake (which is our favorite), I ask the store supervisor if I could hire one of her crew to deliver it to our table at Shakey's and thaked her for allowing. I told the crew to wait until I take my seat before he'll goin' to deliver it and he did as what I've said. My hunny was surprised about what I've did, and he was so happy that he cried...and the crews of Shakey's also gave him a special presentation, and was very happy 'bout it, then was given a sundae as a token then we all sang him "happy birthday to you, Happy birthday to you, happy birthday, happy birthday, happy birthday to you!"...though I forgot to buy a match to light his candle's we decided to have him blow it at our dormitory the moment we arrived there. I was glad knowing that my hunny's happy in his special day and he gave me hugs and kisses as a sign of gratitude...

My first entry for Pink Fridays

Since next month I'll be busy for my oath taking and filing for my license....I'll grabbed this opportunity to make a post for my late sis for her birthday on March 23...

I've found these poems at the drawer of my sis after her death which she wrote month before she left and dedicated it to her bf...this was also published in our school journal "The Junior Patrician" last march 2004. 

I wanted first to tell something about her...She was my only sister and my very best friend. We grew up together since hindi kami magkalayo ng age, I was just 3 years older. When we're still young, we used to quarrel alot, pero that's only normal to siblings to quarrel sometimes. But I won't forget the days we've become close that we share secrets to each other and yung isa't isa lang yun inaasahan namin bcos our parents were too busy with their work, kaya kami lang always magkasama. We find comfort in each other and that make us more closer...but a tragedy brought us apart, she died due to drowning and I don't understand why sa dami ba namang taong masasama bakit siya pa yung nawala...It was really hard for me accepting the fact that I couldn't be with her anymore...I feel so empty during those times thinking of her, kasi biglaan lang eh! di man lang kami nagkapaalan sa isa't isa...at isa pa I missed her company...wala na akong katabi matulog, wala na akong kaaway, kakulitan, wala na akong mapagsabihan ng mga secrets and problems ko...But time passes by that I've learned to accept it and was happy knowing that she's happy now with Him...Sige na tama na ang drama kasi babaha na naman ng luha dito...

I'm In Love

For the first time I saw you

I said that you are nothing

But time molded me, and all the things changed

Now, I can't tell if I'm in love or it's just a game.

Your eyes and your smile are really beautiful

That sometimes I thought it would kill me

Oh! thats fearful

But why I'm so in love with you?

Is this the feeling when LOVE starts to grow?

I'm not in love! I maybe dreaming

But why I feel like I am drowning?

Are that your eyes and smile that keeps me falling?

Or am I just a little bit crazy about loving!

Okay I didn't mean to love you!

But why it grows deeper as time goes through?

Well to tell that this love of mine is really true,

But are you feeling this way if I will ask you?

You're My Angel

It's been a long time

Since I've found you

Who have changed me as a new

It's been yesterday when

I was trying to find the right one

Who will love me for what I am.

But if you feel

That you don't like me

Don't be afraid to face me

If you want me as your angel

Just call me

And I'll be down from heaven.

Don't say that you don't need me

Cos' I can see it in your eyes clearly

Don't say that you are a fool

Cos' you're the best of them all!

Hi everyone! This is my first time to join this meme...I was blog hopping and I found this site which interest me as a girl...This weeks topic is about "The Things We’ll Do For Love"...

I was in 2nd year college when I first had a relationship with a guy and had so much experiences when I've entered into it. . . I had all my "firsts"! As far as I remembered, I've done so much stuffs that I think I couldn't do, but I did because of love...All I know it's right, though people say it's wrong...I dont really care what other people say bcos Im in love and no one can tell me about what I feel or I should feel about it...I remember na sinuway ko yung mom ko just bcos she tells me I'm too young for it...pero di ako nakinig...hehehe...maybe ganun talaga if you're at your adolescent stage...I even cut classes while I'm in school just to be with my bf...but I've realized later na hindi pala ganun kapag nagmahal...And on those firsts I've experienced ang dami kong natutunan sa buhay... Especially when I got pregnant at an early age of 20.. Nag-iba yung paningin ko with life when I had my first baby with my bf and hindi naging madali sa akin noong time na yun kasi I wasn't prepared of it but I've realized that I shouldn't have to regret it cos' at the moment I did it I know its consequences and I have to be responsible for it..and my bf wasn't at my side during those moments kasi hiwalay na kami that time. Good thing that I have a job before I get pregnant, and was able to save money in preparation for my delivery. And I'm so thankful to God for giving me such understanding and loving parents na patuloy pa ring sumusuporta sa akin during those moments when I have no one to run to...And it really helps to be patient and continue loving..kasi kahit nasaktan ka at nadapa, still kailangang bumangon and go on with life...Just always have faith in Him for all His ways are good! 

So now I am happy with my life having my baby and with the man I truly loved...

During offs, me, Zhe and Xhang just stay in our dormitory and just sleep, eat, chitchat or spend our time infront of the pc up to sawa. And because we taught it's not productive, we decided to go to church downtown of Cebu. We ride a jeepney and have our first stop at the Cebu Cathedral. There we took pictures unfortunately, there was a wedding so we decided to moved to our next stop which is the Basilica de Sto. Ni ño.

 It was the only church I've visited na hindi nauubusan ng tao, before the sun rises and till dark, as in puno talaga ng mga devotees ni Sr. Sto. Ni ño. It was famous not only in the Philippines but also to tourists. In any corner of the church you can see devotees praying, some were kneeling from the door to the altar, some were patiently waiting for their turn in line just to see the figure of Sto. Ni ño which is kept in a private room inside the church, and almost everyone were taking pictures. Outside the church were "dancing ladies", sila yung mga babae na nagbibenta ng candles with four colors: red for love, green for succes relationship, blue for peace, and yellow for success in undertakings, at nagdadasal para sa bumibili...It was featured also at Rated K hosted by Korina Sanches in one of her topics. Then our last stop was the Magellan's Cross, kung saan tinurok ni Magellan 'yung cross which symbolizes that they've been there and was able to colonized Cebu. That's why until now, we cannot deny the fact that we're embracing the Spanish culture without our knowing: in some of our dialects, the churches and other landmarks, being a Catholic, the saints were just a few proofs of Spanish Regime in the Philippines.  And that's also one reason bakit maraming magagandang babae at lalake sa Cebu...

We end up our day tired but full of happiness...at a day we've discovered some of Cebu's landmarks and become witness of it's history...

My entry in Just Beautiful hosted by Trish of Thoughts Online and That's My World

This 10-day Ultimate Final Coaching is the best part of my Ultimate Review Experience. We Started the day 1 and 2 with Mr. Carl E. Balita, which is the owner of the CBRC (Carl Balita Review Center). He's a graduate od BSN, RN, MAN, DrHum. He was the ultimate reviewier as what he always claimed...and I do agree of him..=) He was the ultimate, the best of all.. Some other review centers which was his rival in the review business are saying no good about him, but he doesn't mind.. he told us that if he tries to give them feedback, it would be just a waste of time; he's more concerened about what his reviewees will learn from him that matter's than minding other people's nonsense business and aggravating comments about him. Most of the time, his tarpaulines where being destroyed and he also received death treats...but he just laughs at it...telling us that we should pray for these people because they're pitiful. They tried to stain his reputation and dignity only to find out in the end that these people doesn't talks about him but actually more of themselves...and that's very true and a very sad truth about this kind of people...

We end up our final Coaching review with a solemn mass held at Baseline Ballroom Hall in Cebu City. I had so much fun during my review days and learned so much from the power house lecturers of CBRC. Sir Carl has thought us so much not only to do the best we can during our examinations but also for teaching us to become a better person we can be... Bcos' being a NURSE isn't about the grades but about being who we are...No book can teach us how to cry with a patient...No class can teach us how to tell a family that their loved ones have died or are dying...No professor can teach us how to find dignity in giving our patient bed baths...it's not about the pills, or the charting...it won't matter how we did on a Major Exam or what our board rating was...no one will care what our tourniquet's color was...It won't matter if we missed a day of duty or what honor we got on our graduation day...our highest score on a practical exam won't be traced...It won't matter if our scrub suit was messy or if our Neuro Exam style wasn't the best...It's about being able to love people when they are at their weakest moments...and making life a little better for our patient...as a NURSE, that's how we will be remembered...

Faith, Hope and Love but the greatest of these is LOVE - 1 Corinthians 13:13 

I see hearts everywhere and I love it! 

 

This life can be so negative and impossible at times, but we all know how much LOVE can make a difference. It all started at the moment of my conception when God chooses my parents and created me to a wonderful creature who's existing today with all the details in His likeness (from the tip of my hair to the soles of my foot). When God saved the man of my life and had my baby with him. When God made me meet my true friends through ups and downs. When God gave me enemies, trials and troubles...still I see hearts in them, b'cos of them I was able to feel God's TRUE LOVE for me, cos' He won't gave them to me if He doesn't want me to be stronger and more happier. And it's a nice feeling to wake up and thank each day I live bcos of LOVE...And with just one little heart I have for them, everyday it just keeps growing. They are such beautiful reminders to cheer up, to be happy and to share love to everybody.

But every relationship has its own weakness and flaws, but that makes it more taunting...we will never know if that the love we have for the one's we love is worth keeping if we'll unable to quell its empediment.

The first test we've battled together was (here).

Then another trial made us more stronger...It was last summer of 2010 when my hunny's ex-gf was tellin' everybody that I am too jealous of her and was incriminating me of wrecking her and her family to her husband (which is actually not TRUE) besides, I really don't feel that way towards her or anybody... I admit I do appreciate and love her to be my friend eventhough my past sila ng husband ko...that's whhy I take the first move to befriend her on fb and friendster and was looking forward in person; and was genuine of my intention that I even apologize to her 'bout what had accrue between her and my hunny (even if my hunny isn't approved with it). I was insisting on him that there's nothing wrong with it... and I told him "kung my past kayo, sa inyo naman yun' diba..past is past, kaya nga I was the one na unang nakipagkaibigan...your past doesn't matter, what's more important is the present". But it so happened that this girl I thought a friend happened to accused me at ang lakas pa ng loob para puntahan kami sa bahay not  to clear things up, but to directly accused me of something I didn't do and never will do...She even brought her 2 friends with her para lang ipahiya ako sa kanila and showed us a copy-pasted paper she printed whom she said was sent to her husband by an anonymous sender and pointed me to be responsible for it...I was so confused that I didn't talked much or even explain myselt to them. Bcos I told myself "Never explain yourselt to anyone bcos the person who loves you doesn't needs it...and the person who dislikes you wouldn't believe it!". and I just told them to show us real proofs and facts; not just a copy-pasted paper...(malay ba namin kung gawa-gawa lang niya yun' para lang mapag-usapan). When my MIL knew about it, she told us to file a summon on her at the barangay hall kasi hindi makatarungan na basta na lang siya magbintang at sa property pa namin...Pasalamat nga siya kasi I wasn't reared by my parents na palengkera, and will never go down to that level..and when we meet at the hall, she brought with her that copy-pasted paper and this time iba na kasi the recent message ko sa husband niya for some clarifications ay idinugtong niya dun'...para lang idiin ako...So Pathetic! Pero wala ring nahantungang maganda ung pag-uusap na iyon kasi we aren't been cleared with things..and it even worst! The next thing we knew is kumalat na 'yung mga nude pics ko sa fb using my identity but not my account under kaith_fr09@yahoo.com.ph and send request to all her friends and even some of my fb friends. Good thing that one of her friends was so concerned of me and my hunny that she told us that those pictures were being printed by her husband when he came to the Philippines para sunduin siya goin' with him to UK. And those pics were shown to them at her despidida party and were also shown to some people in our place. I really don't know how they did it, but one thing I remembered when she told us during the confrontation that " IT kaya yung asawa ko, kaya mag-ingat ka!" and another is when she asked me of my email address (these are all facts and have proofs with it kasi naka-save pa ito sa account ko and not just a heresay). And one thing that made us conclude that she was behind these all is when her 2 sisters went to our house to hand those pics to my in-laws and husband (para daw ipamukha sa kanila what kind of girl I am...and their purpose na paghiwalayin kami). But they didn't win us cos' the more they'll try to break us, the more stronger our love would be. And admitted that those pics where handed to them by her while at the airport waiting for their flight (without their knowing that the conversations were recorded). I was overwhelmed with my in-laws and husband for their love for me kaya wala din silang napala...and alam na namin na pupunta sila sa'min kasi may nakapag-tip na sa'min na kilala din nila.

We have lots of proofs with us that made us decide to file a blotter report at the police station and also send the evidences to the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) at Bacolod City. We also consulted legal advise from my grandfather who's a lawyer and at the same time a judge and to my BIL who's also a lawyer. We're just waitin' na bumalik siya ng Pinas para makapag-file na kmi ng case sa kanya...and was glad knowing that there's a criminal case approved just last year about this incedence under R.A. No. 9995 which I'm looking forward to by the moment she'll show up here...Nakakalungkot lang isipin na kailangan pang humantong sa ganito...at ako pa yung lumabas na masama sa ibang tao cos' she tells them otherwise...Well it doesn't matter as long as I know myself, my limitations and my hunny, family and friends are still behind me... I'm confident to face the world! Afterall, I wasn't angry with her, infact, I pity her more kasi if puro envy and vengence lang yung sa mind niya...she will never be happier as what she's tellin' everybody around.

I have so much love in my heart that there's no room for hatred and revenge...still I'm open for reconciliation...Actually I always include her and her family in my prayers for the best  (hindi to' echus). And not to be bragging, maybe that's one reason why my hunny and friends still sticks around...bcos they know I have a good heart...and "It really doesn't matter if the world tells you it's wrong, cos if you love each other, you dont need the world, you just need each other."(wink)

One thing we've got to learn, is that no person is better than the other. Some are blessed with knowledge, some with beauty, some with great wealth, some with strength, and some unique gift from God that are yet to find. The essence of "being" is not you "rank" or "greatness" but being who God made us to be - radiantly beautiful inside...I know there's still more trials that we'll be facing ahead us...but one thing I'm confident knowing that despite of all these trials, we never gave up on each other...and those trials were just instruments to make our love for each other more stronger and deeper...only with great love and understanding will make us to conquer it all!

Start looking for LOVE and I promise you, it will start finding you, too. And if you find it never let it go. Love is just a series of hearts in circles, you'll find it, the next thing you'll lose it! But life must go on...cos' everything happens for a reason. Only then can we set our hearts free, allowing us to repair our wings and set flight on finding love again......All in God's perfect time!

So let's collect the hearts of the world. I promise it will make your he♥rt happy:)

It was last December 19-20, 2010 when I took my first and last Nursing Licensure Exam at South Western University, Cebu City. I woke up early to prepare for our ba-on (mine and Gerry my friend). I slept at their house at Sotto Hospital cos' the school where we are assigned was just near there. And 2 months passed, the result was released last night. I received a text message from Gerry telling me that the result is in. So, I was so excited at the same time nervous about the news. I was thinking if I've made it or not. And so I asked her if I was on the list. I was so apprehensive of her reply, even my hunny is more excited than me that he wasn't able to ate his dinner, and was so excited as well to hear the reply of Gerry. Then Gerry called me "Karen, nakapasa tayo as in, hehehe...I am very happy kasi tayong 3 ni Marf nakapasa, but sad to say hindi nakapasa si Madette" and I was sad to hear that...(OMG! I've made it...Thank you Lord, you never fail me)... "So dapat tuloy yung party natin pagbalik mo dito sa Cebu!" and I said  "Sure"...(wink...so overwhelmed of the news).

At last, I've made it (yeehhheeeyyy!)...and wasn't able to make it without the support of the people who loves and believes in me: To my dear papa who have been so helpful to me with all my papers to be done while I'm in Cebu reviewing..to my dear mama with all the encouraging thoughts you've given me to go on besides of all the problems I've encountered...to my loving aunt, uncle and BIL (nong Jude and Jeff) who gave me financial support with my review.. to my ever friends (you know who you are...you're too many to write all here...hehehe), to my dear review center most especially Sir Carl for all the motivations you've given us and never to doubt about ourselves...for making us more closer to God...to all my lecturers, you're all amazing, everything you've taught us during review days was really a help in our board exams...to Ate Ever, Sir Jim, Sir Rara, Jen, Arjon for aways being there for us during ups and downs in our review...for all my acquaintance at the review...my colleagues...to my hubby and baby Chin...you're both my inspiration in everything that I do...and most of all to my wonderful creator...Thank you so much! Let's continue soaring high Eagle's...

I wanted to share this lyric which Sir Carl always sings to us: "THE CLIMB" by Miley Cyrus

I can almost see it
That dream I'm dreaming but
There's a voice inside my head sayin,
You'll never reach it,
Every step I'm taking,
Every move I make feels
Lost with no direction
My faith is shaking but I
Got to keep trying
Got to keep my head held high

There's always going to be another mountain
I'm always going to want to make it move
Always going to be an uphill battle,
Sometimes I'm gonna to have to lose,
Ain't about how fast I get there,
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb

The struggles I'm facing,
The chances I'm taking
Sometimes might knock me down but
No I'm not breaking
I may not know it
But these are the moments that
I'm going to remember most yeah
Just got to keep going
And I,
I got to be strong
Just keep pushing on, cause

There's always going to be another mountain
I'm always going to want to make it move
Always going to be an uphill battle,
Sometimes I'm gonna to have to lose,
Ain't about how fast I get there,
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb (yeah)

There's always going to be another mountain
I'm always going to want to make it move
Always going to be an uphill battle,
Sometimes you going to have to lose,
Ain't about how fast I get there,
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb (yeah yeah ea ea)

Keep on moving
Keep climbing
Keep the faith baby
It's all about
It's all about
The climb
Keep the faith
Keep your faith

Whoa a ohhhhhh ohhhhhhhh

Let me think???? I can't exactly remember the date when we had our first kiss, we were officially on by June 24, 2007 though we seldom see each other cos' I'm busy at work out of town and he as well busy in school at the city and we only communicate through calling and texting with matching "I love you hun! mwaaaaaahhhh!". The first time we see each other since we were on was July 2007. It was Thursday night when I invited him to a dinner since I am the one working, so ako yung nag treat...but no kissing happened (I mean hindi nya ako ki-niss sa lips...but sa forehead). So I thought "anu ba naman ang ungas na ito, parang hindi naman halata sa mukha na conservative"...and I just smiled...though it was kilig din to think that he kissed me sa forehead...meaning he respects me. The next day he texted me that we'll go home together by Saturday morning and I said OK. Early morning of Saturday I headed to Bacolod to meet him at the bus terminal and we went home. He accompany me to our house and I invited him to ate breakfast before he leave...after our meal, we talked a little and he asked permission to go home...We were heading to the door and before I opened it for him, he grab my hands, place it on his shoulders while his was on my waist...and poooooof! our "FIRST KISS EVER" (blushing).

Now we never fail to give each other "kisses": in the morning when we wake up and before going to bed; before leaving and when arriving home; at times when we had our petty quarrels or when we just wanted to cuddle each other; or at times na inaasar namin yung baby namin just because she's jealous kung kami lang ni daddy yung nag-kiss at wala siya...and when she started to cry...we will both kiss her in both cheeks...and its a nice feeling na i-hug niya kami after...

Smooches!

It was around October, I met a couple of Spanish friends who were working at the boat Galeon Andalucia of Sevilla, Spain. It is used by Spain as a ship for expeditions to other countries. It is a replica boat of Ferdinand Magellan when he had an expedition at the Philippines wayback 1521.

Crews of Galeon Andalucia

me, I forgot this man's name (hehehe), marf, and madette

 I was invited by them to visit the boat one time at Port San Pedro, so I decided to bring some close friends with me so that I have companions and also for them to see it. We took pictures souvenirs of the boat which I've upload some of it here for you to view.

with Andrea the only girl in the boat

Cesar, me, Marf, Madette, Kristian and Efren at the VIP room

I was so overwhelmed of the invite, and to say we are the only visitor whom they allowed to enter the VIP room, as well as the cabins where they sleep...we've seen almost inside the boat...and thank's to mi amigos con amigas...Such a wonderful experience...

Hasta que reunirse de nuevo!
