*Speechless*

Can I just say, I am excited as ASDFGHJKL! :) Real words can't even describe it. We will have a long weekend starting tomorrow and I am psyched up for what's gonna happen. My classes are overflowing with free cuts and thank God I can go home early! I cannot tolerate the big holiday hassle of going home to the province this coming Saturday. All Saint's day is approaching soon and hundreds, even thousands of people are coming home to their provinces. And this will create cramming in the bus stations and even the airlines. So, to avoid it, I will go home to Bataan earlier than usual. And I am excited! :)

My Mom bought ingredients for me to bake on Saturday. Though it will obviously be laborious, it'll be all worth it! My "baking endeavor" is creating an ideal in my mind and also my parents'. We're planning to expand and start selling baked goodies! :) I think first, we're gonna buy a bigger oven, pans, baking materials and also learning new recipes. My first baked goody that my family and friends liked are my vanilla cupcakes. Then I worked on making profiteroles to which my mom and dad are addicted to. Haha. I also baked cookies and meringues. But now, I am planning to experiment more on profiteroles because making them is really cheap, only a few ingredients and you've got a delicious and versatile bread type mouthfuls that you can fill with anything. I've tried stuffing them with chocolate ganache, lemon cream chantilly and even egg salad. And so far, the feed back is good! :) On Saturday I'll be making lots so that i can bring my friends some :)

Here are a line-up of a few activities I am going to be in this coming weekend:


  • Saturday: BAKE DAY. I'll be making lots and lots of baked goodies. Smores, cupcakes, cookies, profiteroles, you name it. I'll be making them for our family gathering on November 1, for our youth outing and for our reunion! Entirely laborious, but so worth it if they like them! :)
  • Sunday: After church, we will have a little get together for the celebration of our overseas friend, Kuya Ryan. We're gonna have lunch in Max's Balanga, and it'll a reunion type of thing all together. I am gonna bring cupcakes! Hopefully everything will turn out fine :) I'm looking forward to it so much! I'm excited to talk with them and reminisce memories. Well, after that, me and my high school friends are also meeting up. We are going to watch a movie, chat and catch up. I haven't seen them for almost a year now so, yes, I AM EXCITED INDEED :)) Unfortunately, we'll only be together for a few hours because I need to go home at 5:30pm because we are going to Pearl of Morong beach resort  for beach/Halloween/bonding/early Christmas party. We are going to stay overnight. I'll be bringing profiteroles :)
  • Monday: Whole day I'll be in Pearl of Morong beach resort. We are gonna play volleyball, eat, have fellowship, bond, and ultimately have fun! Finally making the most out of the long weekend :)
  • Tuesday: All Saint's day. We're gonna visit my Lola Tonya's grave. Offer flowers and prayers and maybe visit my Lolo Felix's grave also. I think we're also gonna have a reunion. Well, as far as I know :)
My weekend will be jam-packed with activities! And of course every single one, I am looking forward to :) Then, I'll be back to school the next day. Yes, back to reality.

Hope you will have a productive/fun long weekend too! :)

Cheers! :)

Happy NEVER after

It seems to me that things have become very different from the time we were together. You changed, I changed. I became stronger when you desperately tried to hurt me when you and her became a real couple. And sincerely, I am thanking you for that. Not only did you open my eyes of how an idiot I was when we were together, but you also made me realize how valuable I am to others, and how my friends have my back through thick and thin. This is not quite a hate post, but a thank you post. Thanks for nothing, actually. And now I can say though I'm single, I'm happy without you :)

You were my happy NEVER after.

Sincerely,

Having editing skills has its perks :)

Okay, so I have been given the chance to "renovate" our youth bulletin. It's been empty for a while and I've been editing a lot of pictures so, here they are :) Do tell me what you think :)

























Tell me what you think eh? :)

Much love, 

It's been quite a long while.

Sorry for not updating in a while. I have been pretty much caught up with activities in both church and school. Let me tell you, it's been hectic :) Also, I had trouble with my smartbro plug-it. My previous one, which I had for   3 years, was literally broken because my sister bumped into it while it was attached to my laptop. Major Bad Vibes right there. Thankfully, my mom gave me money to buy a new one. But when I tried to use it on my laptop, it won't install! Another major Bad Vibes moment there. I had to go all the way to the mall to have it fixed/replaced, only to find out, it was my laptop that needed the fixing. After much work, the plug-it finally works now in my laptop. Hence, my connection now :)

Anyway, I have to blog about our team building activity. We had 3 sessions of "team building" for our Praise and Worship team. We had it on 3 Sunday afternoons in church. We had games, activities, jamming, bonding, eating, and ultimately FUN! Here are some of the many (I mean a lot, a lot) of the pictures :)










I definitely had lots of fun! Unfortunately, the last session, the graduation, my camera broke down. The memory card was infiltrated with a virus. So we lost all the pictures there :( Good thing is, on October 31 we have a beach party! So I'm pretty much excited. Here it is for now. I'll be posting again sooner than you think!

Much love,

MED SCHOOL? pffffft...

You know that your in a deep rut of trouble when you find yourself in situations when you feel pressured and confused. I have the same darn feeling. I am not complaining but there's that little voice in me that tells me 'you can't, you just can't'. But there's also those people who believe I can, and pressure me to push through what they want for me. The choice of studying medicine is what I'm talking about. There's that hope inside me that I can do it, I can survive 10 more years of studying, but I die a little inside when I think of how med school can torture me and my brain. I mean, now, taking up BS Psychology is just hard for me, especially the science subjects. Before I entered undergraduate school, I dreamed of having that white coat and that title of M.D stamped on my name tag. But as I was studying, I struggled, a lot. I mean, A LOT.

Let's look at the facts, shall we?
1. I struggled with Chemistry and Biology throughout undergrad.
2. It seems like medschool curriculum is jam-packed with Chemistry & Biology subjects, though there are Psychology subjects, but only a few.
3. Honestly, I just can't stand the pressure I receive from my aunts and uncles.

I just can't decide. To go to medschool, or not go to medschool, that is the question.
