Pilgrimage to the Lady of Manaoag

"There's only one thing I prayed to the Our Lady of Manaoag...and that is the prayer of my heart. For I know, God knows what I need more than me."

CHILDHOOD REUNIONS

When I graduated from elementary, I had the dilemma of choosing where to study high school. There were two schools--St, Dominic Academy, where my elementary friends will surely go; and Colegio de Santa Philomena, where my cousins study--that i needed to choose from. And for some reason, I chose CdSP. Have no regrets tho! I am happy with my decision. I will be forever grateful to my alma mater.

Anyways, so since then, me and my elementary friends grew apart. It's only until recently that we miraculously reconnected! (at may bonus pang new friends!)


I am really glad that we finally found our way back! NAMISS KO KAYO MGA BRUHO AT BRUHA!

So yeah, nung araw na 'to...well actually gabi I braved the scary, long, dark road in the middle of bukids just to reach Ted's by myself in a tricycle. Oh the things we do in the name of the bitch called LOVE! Thank You, LORD at nakarating naman akong buhay! hoho. Plus ang bait pa ni Manong kasi he only asked for 40Php, when Balatong usually costs aroung 50-70Php. I LOVE YOU MANONG! (if you can only read this)


So after the picture-an blues (kasi nga namiss nila ako masyado. i am so kiligs), nag-aya si Ted sa 'Banay' (not sure with the spelling tho). Honestly, I had no idea what Banay was (until now), so we were all game to go even tho it was really dark outside.

hindi ko talaga inedit para mafeel ang kadiliman!
I was so giddy to go on an adventure with them since the last time we bonded seemed like ages ago. When we were on our way, I had already a bad feeling that Ted betrayed us and it was going to be a one big horror walk...And guess what? I was right. Man, the narrow way was really really dark with all the tall monster trees on both sides. Kung andon siguro si Samantha sugat-sugat na siguro buong katawan non sa dami ng beses nang pagkakadapa! I was imagining na mamaya may tao na pala don sa singit-singit ng mga hala-halaman. And fuck! I remembered Michelle's story about the tiktik! Feeling ko, ako na yung susunod na biktima..and the tiktik was just waiting for her best moment to get me! :( Feeling ko may kukuha na lang sa akin basta-basta at mamamatay na ako! So, nag-isip talaga ako ng way para di mangyare yon. Humablot ako ng isang pwedeng dumefend sa akin sa left at yung isa ko namang kamay ay todo-kapit kay Charisse. So yeah, I was like a hotdog sandwiched by two other haaaatdogs! YES! I was well protected. behhhlat sa mukha mo tiktik!


 Pero the most epic shit na ginawa namin...actually I was FORCED to do it! AYOKO TALAGA. PERO PINILIT AKO..KAMI NI TED PANGET!!! :(( Tumawid kami sa pilapil!!!

Ted and his super crazy ideas of fun!
Every morbid means of death flashed thru my eyes.  Meeen, pano na lang kung may ahas don? Pano kung magalit yung may ari tas i-shot gun kami don isa-isa? Pano kung may baliw tas pagtatagain kami? Pano kung may bumagsak na eroplano out of nowhere o di naman kaya meteor?? Whaaaat now. Whaaat now!! Tas bigla na lang may nagmumura from the distance...

#%@*@)&^#(#)^!(@)&^(O@_#_ UMALIS KAYO DYAN!!! !^@*)##&#_#)@*@^%#$@)*@*

They sounded like children...then may matandang boses!!! whaaaaat! I panicked and then shouted, "SHIT PANO PAG MAY BARIL!? BAKA PATAYIN TAYO!!!" Then, they panicked too, "ALIS NA TAYO ALIS NA TAYO!" we were panicking and yet...nobody can move fast or else go home like a muddy monster kapag nalaglag ka sa bukid.

nakasmile pa 'tong si Cha! mamamatay na kame!
Geee! -Ellen (haha!)
Apparently, we survived! The voices turned out to be a bunch of kids fooling around. :/ Kuya! Pinakaba nyo kame!

Last night was SDA's (one of my high school choices) Grand Alumni Homecoming, and...and...I GATECRASHED! hahahaha.

Batch '09 naman talaga ako ah! Di nga lang sa Dominic
I was really happy that my batchmates invited me to come...hindi na ako nagdalawang isip na pumunta. GORABELS AGAD! At masmatagal na bonding ang ginawa namin. We ate dinner together, sold tickets together, took pictures together, played games together (hmp 3 lang kami akcheli), discriminated people together,,,at lahat pa ng imaginable togetherness! haha

Twas fun...sobrang fun especially sa boys kasi andon si Lexie Fernandez. Mga fanboys! hoho


Kaming mga girls sa mom na lang ni Lexie, kay Maritoni na lang! haha

And whats even fun? Everything doesnt end that night. May next episode pa! I am looking forward for more picture perfect moments at kahit near-death moments pa yan...GORABELS lang! Oh! The things we do..we will do for the LOVE called BITCHES! haha.


BATCH '09 IS THE COMBINATION OF THE WORSTS AND THE BESTS. AND I'M PROUD TO BE IN IT :)

P.S.

3 Paskuhan down...1 to go!

So ive been whaaaatt 3 years in college and 3 years in joining the Paskuhan celebration.


Paskuhan is the annual Christmas Party for all Thomasians...uhm for everybody. It's like a big gathering of Thomasians, non-thomasians, jejes, rakistas, emos, punks, and the likes. Many bands, artists, and students perform in the UST Grandstand and the audience owns the dusty UST Field. It's quite fun but it's extra fun for the JJs (Jumping Jologs) who love rakenroll. Plus the aura of the place is an awe! UST's beauty really shines every night of December--with those Christmas lights and decors all over campus. Talagang Paskong-pasko ang feel ng bawat Tomasino!

SOOOO... here's me in my past 3 Paskuhan Years:

My iAM Family
On my first year, I was with the first year blockmates. Twas really fuuuuuun! I enjoyed jumping and screaming especially when the song played was familiar to me. My blockies were surprised to see me on a party mode...Di sila sanay. Kala nila nerdy-nerdy lang ako, Mehhh. Sanay rin akong pumarty no! ha ha. I was a rock enthusiast back then...until now naman kaso hindi na ako mega-showy (excpet na lang siguro kapag favorite ko talaga yung band).

2009 LOOK.


In 2010, I was still with them. haha. I also brought my cousin Eunice this year. The performances were very special since it was the start of the Quadricentennial Celebration of UST. Not only bands perform, there were also many popular artists like Beverly Salviejo and Sweet Lapus, who were also alumni of the University, who made the night alive and funny for everybody present.

2010 LOOK


I am happy with what I wore and what I looked this year!!! haha. Finally, womanhood!!! Unti-unti ko nang nararating. I can do this, baby steps! Next year, ill wear a bonggang bonggang gown para ganap na akong babae! hohoho. I kid! I celebrated Paskuhan with my cousins Eunice and Elaine. Originally, we were with Sheena, Karen, and Junald. Kaso they disappeared like vamps into the night :( And then the next plan was to party with my IAM friends again but the networks were sucky as usual. We got tired of looking for them so instead we chilled out in Starbucks after the program. This is the first Paskuhan na maayos yung itsura ko sa picture, hindi mukhang nerdy nerdy or tomboy! haha. May bonus pa akong picture with Jeric Fortuna (bottom right)!

2011 LOOK


On my last year, i wish that itd be a memorable one! :)

Fa La La La


Hello!!! This is my current playlist--some songs are new and some are old. As of now, these are the songs the topped my taste. But the single that reached the highest level of my likeness is Taylor Swift's CHANGE. Sa sobrang pagkagusto ko nga dito, nagrecord pa ako ng sarili kong version.


I dedicate this song to all my followers and readers, and to my future followers and readers! I am not even sure if this will gain me a follower...baka mabawasan pa! hoho. Im so sorryy! I sounded like a frog...pero at least I really put effort on recording this one. I had 6 trials, i even ninjad for a quiet place and by quiet I mean  wala dapat taong makakakita sa akin. I hope it made you smile naman...OK lang sakin matawa ka. OK lang din naman mainis ka. Kasi kahit ako nainis. hoho. I still thank God, tho He didnt bless me with a voice of a diva, binigyan pa rin Nya ako ng makapal na mukha para gawin to! wahaha

I hope I wont get tired listening to these songs. Bilib talaga ako sa mga composers--they never ran out of new ideas! Man, ang hirap kaya maging orig! I salute you people, continue making songs for my happy ears! hoho.

P.S.

I'm still human...wag po sana magbabago tingin nyo sa akin. hihihi <3
