Wala nang atrasan!!! Maaaamaaaa!!!*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;********************************************************************&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yesterday was a day full of ADVENTURE. It was quite a CHALLENGING one, and was very TIRING. There were a lot of FIRSTS that happened, too. But, as a whole, the fatigue and tiredness it brought us was replaced by a lot of FUN! It was just so NICE! At the same time, it offered ( ME! )such a pleasant SURPRISE!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In other words, the day dealt mainly with the things written in the Title: the LRT, Divisoria, a Despidida and a (new found??? Let's see. :D ) Romance.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;********************************************************************&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The LRT&lt;br /&gt;First of all, in the morning, my mom, dad and I went to Divisoria to buy some stuff. We did so, following the advice of my mom's friends when they had the Despidida 2 days ago---to shop in the said place is the BEST!!! And so, as "obedient" and practical as we were, we did.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The experience gave me the chance to ride a train for the very first time. And, note, this is not just ANY train--- I'm talking about, ladies and gents, our Philippine's very own--- LRT!!! Yeah!!! *eyebrows are raised* Well, what can I say? It was my first time. And I'm sure I'm one of the few who will still say this was their first time at the LRT, but for the sake of those who'll read this, and who have NOT even ridden it yet, I have just ONE WORD to say--- FUN!!! Oh, and, COOL (LITERALLY! The aircon train makes you feel good, even when you're not seated down)!!! PLUS, there's this VOICE which serves as a tour guide of some sort, saying a next station, translating it to both English and Tagalog. It was cool. * Our LRT simply ROCKS!!! *Realizes "Mababaw nga ang kailgayahan ko!"*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;********************************************************************&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;168 Divisoria&lt;br /&gt;Yup. This was the name of our next stop. This building led us to a new discovery (kung kelan kami ay paalis na?! Nakakainis naman! gRRRRRRR!!! S@yAng!). Basically it could be described by these exclamations: "The place was sooooooper CLEAN!!!", "It was airconditioned. LAMIG!", "The food was FANTASTIC---especially the pansit!!!", "You can compare it to SM, and surely, the Megamall will shudder at its competitor!", "And the prices---sooooooper SULIT!!!",and finally... "If you're practical at gusto mo makatipid, pupunta ka rito, and no where else!!!".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, these were the words I actually exclaimed after our loooooooong trip around the place.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Need I say more????&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;********************************************************************&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ooops. Mom needs the phone. Gotta go.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Despidida and the Romance (Uuuuuuuuuyyyyy, SINO YAN?!) for later.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;********************************************************************&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Okay. Continuation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today is already July 24, Sunday.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1 week to go. 1 weekend left. 1 Mass left for us to attend the Philippines. And then... BYE!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But that's okay now.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sooooooo....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;CONTINUATION:&lt;br /&gt;The Hernandez Family Despidida&lt;br /&gt;After going to Divisoria, we went to the Megamall for the Despidida offered by my relatives from mom's side. It was going to be held in Kamayan, and everyone would be there (my GAWD!!! My mom has 8 siblings, 6 of shich are alive, and each has an average number of 5 or 6 kids. CAN YOU IMAGINE???? Hmmmmmmm. gOOOOOOOOshhhhh.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oooops. This time, I'VE GOTTA EAT LUNCH!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Later!

Believe me, HE KNOWS.</title><content type='html'>I don't know how to start this entry at all. For some really weird reason, I am at a loss for words. Probably becuase I'm quite happy. No, not just "quite"--- VERY happy!!! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And it's all becuase of the One up above.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All I can really say is that... today has been a day full of surprises---to our whole family, but especially for ME!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For my mom, she saw a lot of colleagues and amigas whom she hasn't seen for, like, AGES!!! I was with her when they all had lunch together, in Pho Hoa in Megamall, and they gave her their sort-of final "Despidida" to her there. My gawd, they acted as though they were KIDS!!! I couldn't help but laugh, at the same time, smile painfully--- I know how much my mom will miss them, and I feel her pain, thinking she'll have just one last 1 hour with them, and they won't see each other for, like, 10 or 15 years (when, at last, we'll come back! Yayyy!!!).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For my dad, he was happy that he was able to have some more time with me and my mom. He went with us during most of our trips to the malls, while we were looking for more stuff to wearin Canada, and he enjoyed it, though he got so tired. *"Awwww, Dad! You want a massage? That'll be an additional $50 to my allowance in school in Canada, okay?" I tell him. He exclaims "Let your mom do it." Darn! *evil grin*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And, as for me,let's just say the Lord answered one of my most awaited and long-requested prayers: that I see my very much missed, Second Mom in school, before I leave the Philippines. And, guess what??? I DID!!! I saw Ms. Lau (now more known as our dear Mrs. Ruth L. Ramirez) at Duknin Donuts in SM! I was actually---what's the best word to describe it--- SHOCKED, at first. I was helping mom in the Grocery store, and we were at the counter, whne Dad texted me"Ms. Lau's here at Dunkin". Gee, that was a pleasant surprise!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I really was glad to see her. She's not just a "Second mom" to me---more of a friend, and such a great companion. I really miss her, and I wanted to tell her a LOT of stuff. Same with me, I wanted to hear from her; she is, for me, as she once called me herself, a "Gift from God".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, I wasn't able to tell her so much, though. A reason may be because my family was in a hurry to leave. But I'd say the real reason was because I was just really HAPPY, and couldn't say much. The mere presence was good enough. :-D I hope I still see her, along woth my friends, for the very LAST time before I leave, whne I go to SPCPon the 28th. If not, it's okay. The Lord gave me TODAY to cherish. I thank Him for that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;                               ~***~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tomorrow ill be the start of all the Family "despididas"--- mother side, tomorrow; father side, on Saturday. ALL--- on our final leave, next Sunday, July 31, 2005.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;                               ~***~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I prayed for all these, you know. Especially when I felt lonely, left out, doubtful of God's plans, or just plain miserable. At least, these would be the little comforts.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And, guess what?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;God knew when best to give them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I owe it all to Him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"His will be done always".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;G' Night. ;)&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/13127674-112195881776520497?l=sofalofadofa.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://sofalofadofa.blogspot.com/feeds/112195881776520497/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=13127674&amp;postID=112195881776520497&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/13127674/posts/default/112195881776520497'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/13127674/posts/default/112195881776520497'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://sofalofadofa.blogspot.com/2005/07/god-knows-believe-me-he-knows.html' title='God Knows.

And it was a very DEPRESSED entry, believe me. All that was left that I didn't do was to CURSE in it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But, I guess, the Lord doesn't want me to do that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nor does He want even one entry in this blog of mine appear DEPRESSED. If not, AWAY from HIM.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I just noticed it, you know...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Every time I'd try to type a depressing, pessimistic entry, in which I doubt Him, and especially when I'm at the peak of finishing it, it suddenly DISAPPEARS! It just gets DELETED, out of the blue! And I don't know how it's done--- I don't even touch any thing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And, take for instance, my entry a while ago... well, let's just say it's about HURT feelings---DEEP ones, I tell you--- towards a FRIEND... a very close one in my heart and life. For a while there, I thought I was mistaken; I thought she was a "friend"... &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;but I was SO WRONG.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She IS true. Genuine. Sincere.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For a while, I doubted her.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i was just SO WRONG.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And I felt her concern through a text, when suddenly, my entry was GONE!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What do you think? *shudders then grins*&lt;br /&gt;I think the Lord sends out a message to me, as well as to everyone who reads this blog...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He's given me a Little Miracle in disguise.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My BLOG itself! As though it's guiding me always towards HIM.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;See for yourself, that you may witness His Little Blessing--- see my entries; there's almost no entry that doesn't mention anything related to the One up above.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yet it's only now I realize...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now I know, from a first-hand experience, that "GREAT things, indeed, often come in SMALL packages".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In my case, it's more of "DISGUISED, most UNEXPECTED packages."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thank God for this Little Miracle.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Currently feeling: Confused, for a minute, but now, very much ENLIGHTENED, and of course, Thankful&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Currently hearing the song: "We're in HEAVEN" (Revival) by DJ Sam&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*NOTE to self: "Leaving the Philippines" Countdown: 13 DAYS TO GO&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/13127674-112161213027365183?l=sofalofadofa.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://sofalofadofa.blogspot.com/feeds/112161213027365183/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=13127674&amp;postID=112161213027365183&amp;isPopup=true' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/13127674/posts/default/112161213027365183'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/13127674/posts/default/112161213027365183'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://sofalofadofa.blogspot.com/2005/07/gods-little-miracle.html' title='God&apos;s Little Miracle'/><author><name>sofalofadofa...</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03301379767477924527</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://www.undercover.com.au/pics/cdgreendayamericanidiot.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13127674.post-112031415412126059</id><published>2005-07-02T22:20:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2005-07-02T07:22:34.130-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Yesterday and Today---- Weird, but Beautiful</title><content type='html'>I don't know what to say. I just DON'T.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My mind is full of thoughts--- varied, rambling, mind-boggling, RACING thoughts---- some, factual; some, they may seem ridiculous, honestly. And as for my heart and soul--- bursting with varied and all sorts of emtotion you can think of (perhaps, with the exception of anger, that is ).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Okay, I haven't been able to update BOTH blogs for, like, days now. It's because the whole family's always busy nowadays, preparing for what may probably be our last (or second to the last ) Garage Sale.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But YESTERDAY and TODAY, some things happened worth mentioning (I am of the opinion, that is) and remembering. Here's an update:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;YESTERDAY, 1st of July, 2005, Friday&lt;br /&gt;*Wow, it's already July. JULY? Did someone say... JULY?!!? AAAAAAHHHHH!!! We're leaving! We're really LEAVING!!! *pants, shocked*&lt;br /&gt;* Dad started our final Leaving-the-Philippines-COUNTDOWN. Today, 'it's merely 30 DAYS TO GO&lt;br /&gt;* Dad and I, while mom was at the dentist (Dra. Carrasco, to be exact, Luge's mom), visited school. This is my Second (and second to the last while I'm still HERE sa Pinas )visit to my beloved school and second home--- St. Paul College, Pasig. Went to get a Certficate of Good Moral Character from Sr. Agana--- needed for school enrollment in CA. &lt;br /&gt; Saw Mrs. Magtrayo (Again--- Mama Magy!!! *smiles broadly fixed*), Ms. Bayani (same with Mrs. Magtrayo), SirDavid (AHEM!!! AHEM!!! AHEM!!! He asks when I'm leaving, and wishes me luck. Read between the lines. *blushes quite a bit* ), Sir Velarde (Mouth hangs open. Thinks to self 'Alright... so he's still the annoying yet handsome hunk he is, eh? *Blushes suddenly, then disapears quite quickly--- 'Jessica might be looking somewhere---I'm TOAST!' ), amd others, though not as significant. Didn't see... ahem... SOMEONE. WHAT MORE CAN I SAY???&lt;br /&gt;*Dad was able to talk to Sr. V!!! (Can you believe it? And as if they were ever CLOSE!!! Chat to the MAX! Long story on how theygot together, but what struck me most is what she told my dad when she heard I was leaving: "Tell Sofia, ha... DON'T MARRY A FOREIGNER!!! Their VALUES... *tilts head from side to side, sulking*"... CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT?!!?!@#$%@@##4&amp;!!! I just found myself laughing SO HARD. Only God knows, though. As for now, I can only say my type are Asians, thank you very much. :)&lt;br /&gt;*Fetched mom from the dentist. Made a NEW discovery: Dra. Carrasco informed my mom that there's a new Directress in town--- mom's dear close friend (who, mind you, brought me to MY school and ACCEPTED me in it)SR. TERESITA BARRICAUA!!!! Awwwwwww, oh, how much do I miss her! SO MUCH. :)&lt;br /&gt;*Try to put myself earliest to bed, for it's going to be a long, exhausting day tomorrow--- Garage Sale, Part II, here we come!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;TODAY, 2nd of July, 2005, Saturday&lt;br /&gt;*Leaving -the-Philippines-COUNTDOWN: 29 DAYS TO GO&lt;br /&gt;*Garage Sale, Part II--- It's okay, though not as successful as the first one. Oh well, only God knows why...but, generally, it's alright. Plus, if in Part I, we only held a Garage Sale on a Sunday, now, we'll have it for 2 days: Saturday and tomrrow Sunday. I have a feeling God will give us better opportunities tomorrow... I can sense it *pleads up above with puppy eyes "PLEASE LORD? PLEASE?!!!?*&lt;br /&gt;*Tired. Simply, very tired. Yet, still HAPPY. Why? 2 of my most loved cousins from mom's side came and helped. They did so last Garage Sale, though we weren't able to have as much FUN than now--- this time, we had more free time to play lots of BADMINTON!!! (And I'm proud *beams*---I've gotten really good at the sport! Yeah!) Plus, I must've lost a lot of calories there, just what I need... *blushes. winks* Plus, we had an open picnic, yeah!&lt;br /&gt;*Bitten the side of my mouth LOADS of times. (*blushes deeply* Someone--- a GIRL--- remembers me!!! Oooooohhhh, wonder who THAT can be? Hmmmm.... *looks up with innocent eyes, remembering **.***)I just though it mihgt be... well.... HER, cause, she doesn't really know WHEN I'm leaving in July, the DATE--- and it already IS jULY... hehehe... *winks*&lt;br /&gt;*Tired. Gots to sleep. Part III tomorrow.&lt;br /&gt;                             ~***~&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/13127674-112031415412126059?l=sofalofadofa.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://sofalofadofa.blogspot.com/feeds/112031415412126059/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=13127674&amp;postID=112031415412126059&amp;isPopup=true' title='9 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/13127674/posts/default/112031415412126059'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/13127674/posts/default/112031415412126059'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://sofalofadofa.blogspot.com/2005/07/yesterday-and-today-weird-but.html' title='Yesterday and Today---- Weird, but Beautiful'/><author><name>sofalofadofa...</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03301379767477924527</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://www.undercover.com.au/pics/cdgreendayamericanidiot.jpg'/></author><thr:total>9</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13127674.post-111962474417858843</id><published>2005-06-24T22:51:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2005-06-24T07:52:24.183-07:00</updated><title type='text'>2 Blogs' Galore!!!</title><content type='html'>Just reminding you guys, friends who often visit THIS blog now.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My tabulas blog still works.

Ooops, sorry!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's just that...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;None of these words can ever be enough to explain how happy and contented I am at this moment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Finally, things are starting to work for ME! Yaay!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's not a long list BUT... it's nice!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Things that made me H-A-P-P-Y Today:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. I get to go on the internet for a really LOOOOONG TIME! It's also beEn quite a LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG time ever since I got to get online.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*Someone comments "Not really... 4 days isn't THAT long"; Well, excuse ME!!* You want to know why? Ever since the month of April, I was only allowed by mom to go online and on the phone only during the night--- yes, you've got it, 9 PM ONWARDS. Why? It's coz the whole day, she's expecting several calls from Garage Sale buyers and stuff. Oh well...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And it wouldn't be so bad if it only started this month, when all friends were in school...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It started since early APRIL!!! *fumes*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I thought to myself, ever since that "House Rule" was set: How can I bond with my friends? Most of them are asleep or won't even bother to go online by those times. How can I get to them? If I'm gonna leave in July... how can we guys talk??? Kelan ko masu-sulit yung oras ko kasama sila? KELAN PA??? !@#$4^!!@%!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;BUT!!! As they say, God showers graces on those who don't complain.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And, now that my mom's eyes were finally opened to THAT problem, she allows me 2 HOURS for 2 STRAIGHT DAYS! Yaaay!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I've chosen today--- an hour; Next Friday---another hour; and an hour each day next weekend! Yaaaayyy!!! * Eyebrow shoots up "Are you okay?" Yes. Mababaw lang ang kaligayahan po.*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. I got to talk to friends again! Actually, FRIEND--- CAMILLE! She updated me with all sorts of stuff at school, and how my dear best friend and "twin", as some say, is surviving JUNIOR High.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. This one... it's a SECRET! Hehehe... Nah, not that big deal. It's about the ONE who commented on my most previous entry... whoever YOU are, please tell me! You know, you made me feel half SPECIAL and GUILTY at the same time--- I still owe you a hug, remember? :)I can only give you one if you identify yourself. :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. I've got loads of cool WINTER stuff! Yay! After loads of times of going back and forth Cartimar and Greenhillls just lloking for them (and to NO AVAIL folks! gRRRRRR!!!), we finally reaped our reward! From my Tita! She was able to got to Canada years ago, when I was still a baby. And nowm she's lending all her cool coats and turtlenecks to me! Horaaah!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;oH Well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What can i SAY?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Being happy, like being S-A-D can be TIRING at times.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But one thing's for sure...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You can never know how to FEEL either sadness or happiness without having to feel BOTH, at some parts of your life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"If you don't get hurt... if you don't feel pain... if you don't feel anguish in letting go... you have NEVER loved." - The HEART.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;                             ~***~&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/13127674-111856291920070786?l=sofalofadofa.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://sofalofadofa.blogspot.com/feeds/111856291920070786/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=13127674&amp;postID=111856291920070786&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/13127674/posts/default/111856291920070786'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/13127674/posts/default/111856291920070786'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://sofalofadofa.blogspot.com/2005/06/h-p-p-i-n-e-s-s-yes.html' title='H-A-P-P-I-N-E-S-S-!!

ATTRACT you, you there! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yess... &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I don't really know why that's the title I chose! But as far as I know, so MANY surprising and unexpected things "happened" to me today.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For one, I went to visit my old blog... and I just saw that it seems to be currently unavailable and "under rennovation" at the moment. Talk about, "Thank You Lord for having this blog!" Ha!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Additionally (WOW. Formal talk. I can't beleive I'm taking my "Essay" languages here, even in my verrrry informal blog. HEY!!! That's ANOTHER surprise! Hehehe... ), it is today when God answered a fervent prayer: sooooo MANY buyers came in our Garage Sale! It's been a long time, really, since many buyers came and EACH bought A LOT! Though in the first batch of buyers this morning, they simply got our spirits DOWN (marami ngang nabili... puro BINARAT naman!!! gRRRRRRRRR!!!), the second batch this afternoon, whom my relatives bought, were a happy, fair yet contented group! (At least... di sila lugi, di rin kami lugi! Yeah!)*Thank You, Lord! YES!*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And last but definitely not least... tapos na ang huling weekend na ang mga kaibigan ko ay naka-bakasyon...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2 days na lang, PASUKAN na nila! WOW naman!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Still, I can't beleive myself. Could you beleive I actually... uhh... ENVY them? *HU-WAAAAAAT?!!?*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yeah... I wish I could meet the same people and challenges they'd meet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But I'd be doing so, anyway, if you think about it...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Only, in a different country.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That's life isn't it?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's WONDERFUL.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But, sometimes, you can't help but say "Good Grief" in different tones of emotion, at the same time. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"To BE is all I gotta be&lt;br /&gt;And all that I see&lt;br /&gt;And all that I need this time&lt;br /&gt;To me, the life you gave me&lt;br /&gt;The day you said...

Now, it's trying to COME BACK.</title><content type='html'>It's just been a year.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No, make that 2 years.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2 years ever since something I did not expect to happen well.. happened. And I never wanted it. Nor did I ever dream of it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, it's just supposed to be a sweet memory. Though not so much in the VERY distant past.... still. Just a MEMORY.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, it seems to want to come back to me. It's... HAUNTING me. *shudders*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And worst if it all is... the more I want it now. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Okay, too long an intro, I know, I know. But still.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's just that...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Our parish's Santacruzan took place this evening. And I even thought it already took palce days ago, during our Fiesta. But no.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And when I saw those pretty neighbors of mine in their gowns, well, of course, I was very happy and excited for them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But I still couldn't help but sigh, deep within.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's because being a sagala and being chosen to participate for the said event itself reminds me of... SOMEONE. Someone I used to treasure.. or is it "used to".. or "STILL treasure" ???&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And it's just that... that... GUY... once chose me to be one of those Sagalas.Unexpectedly. I fell then even DEEPER.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But, well, let's just say that, due to unwanted circumstances...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I wasn't able to join.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I felt his dissapointment, but he understood. It seems he felt mine, too.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I wouldn't be making this much fuss if not for 2 things: One, this is not just the only memory that's trying to make its way back to my present--- almost all memories we've had together are--- the friends, the people... too many to mention. And sceondly... I'd just LOVE to be a sagala...a Queen in this event I really honor and like (plus, I love and admire its HISTORY, mind you )even just for the last time in my country, which I'll be leaving in less than 60 days or so.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, to wrap this up, I'd just like to say one thing:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's funny, you know... when something in your past seems to want to come back in your life. But whether it does or it doesn't, what matters is that you once had it. Sometimes, though it makes us blue or sad to miss these things, it's better that they happened to us... rather than we never experienced them at all. Stll, what matters most... is what we have now.
