Alam nyo ba etong picture ko with Billy Crawford eh sobrang memorable? Ganito kasi yun. Nanuod kami ng Showtime last Tuesday, Nov. 6. Lima kaming pumunta na magkakaibigan dun kasi may koneksyon kami sa isang dancer dun, si Kuya Jippy, XB GenSan sya. So ayun, matagal ko na kasing gustong makapanuod ng live sa Showtime tapos first time ko din na maging audience sa isang TV show kaya excited much ako. Pagdating namin sa studio, tinuruan kami ng dance steps ni Teacher May para sa opening number, binrief kami ni Mr. Mel Feliciano. Syempre masaya. Starstrucked ako nung makita ko yung Showtime hosts syempre. Lalo na si Anne Curtis, dyosa!

Tuwing commercial breaks inaabangan ko kung sino yung hosts na nakatambay malapit sa’min tapos magpapa-picture sana. Nag-hesitate akong lumapit kay Vhong Navarro saka kay Karylle, kasi may nakaharang na Marshall din. Tapos nakakahiya din kasi baka hindi naman pumayag. Tapos maya-maya nakita ko si Billy. Syempre ang gwapo gwapo pala ni Billy sa personal. Then gusto din nung isa naming kasama na magpa-pic sa kanya. Tinawag niya si Billy tapos dahil nahihiya sya, tinuro nya ako. Oo ako lang. Haha! Na gusto ko daw magpa-pic. E malapit na ulit mag-start so sabi sakin ni Billy next commercial break na lang. Edi syempre hindi na ako umasa na maaalala nya pa.

Next commercial break, hindi ko nakita si Billy pati ibang hosts nasa back stage ata. Sabi nga namin ng friend ko, ‘hindi na ako binalikan ni Billy nalimutan na.’ HAHA! Okay lang yun sa’kin pero naisip ko titiyempo nalang ako maya maya pag nakita ko sya. =))

Tapos eto na, ang tagal na diba. Tapos na ata yung segment na Bida Kapamilya, nag-commercial na tapos maya maya start na ulit ng show. Si Billy nakapwesto na sa gilid then parang may binabasa, yung sasabihin nya ata. Tapos malapit na syang lumabas. Then nakita nya ako. Holy crap! HAHAHA. Siya mismo tumawag sakin.

Di ko talaga makakalimutan yung tinawag nya ako. Hihihi! Tapos dali dali akong lumapit syempre inalalayan nya pa ko pagbaba :”> Tapos inakbayan nya ko. Syempre kumapit na din ako. Tapos ayoko na umalis sa tabi nya kasi sobrang bango nya. Haha! Grabeeee. Sigaw ako ng sigaw pag-upo ko ulit.

Hanggang pag-uwi ko kapag nakikita yung pic namin napapangiti ako tapos kinikilig ako. :”> Tipong ayoko na labhan yung suot ko kasi diba… :”>

Okay, dami ko pang sinabi. HAHAHA. =)) E basta kinikilig talaga ako. Ang bait bait nya pala sobra tapos ang approachable nya pa.

I love you Billy! Sobrang memorable <3

I was about to open my journal (Belle De Jour) and write about how my day went as usual, when I felt something different. Why? I just realized that I am on my 44th week of consistently writing on it. Yes, I’ve attempted to keep a journal in the past but after a few days I would usually feel lazy to continue it. But this one’s different.

Ever since I bought it last January 4, upto this day, I am opening it daily: recording the things that had happened to me during the day, my plans, goals, things I want to learn/try, things I’ve discovered, people I’ve been with during the day, foods I ate, places I went, feelings I’ve felt. Aside from that, I also put in here something like a “Gratitude List” where I list down the things that makes me smile or happy, things or events that I am thankful for, blessings that is coming into my life. So that whenever I am down, I browse on the list and suddenly I feel like I don’t have the right to complain anymore. It also serves as a planner.

I must confess, I really am not that good in organizing my thoughts so what I’m doing is I make sure to write it in “bullet points”. I don’t write in full sentences, in paragraphs or whatsoever. For who has all the time to make an essay or novel-ish type daily? I’m sure that there are those days that you’re very tired, you’re already sleepy or you just don’t have the time. So to make it a less of a hassle, I just write it in a bullet form. I only list the significant things that happened during the day, the interesting ones. And I keep it short and simple. I save those paragraphs for my blog posts which you may find in this blog. HAHA :)

No matter how you think your life is boring, no matter how you think nothing really “significant” is going on in your life, try it. Because when you look back, you’ll realize how the littlest things can make a difference. You’ll see how you revolved or changed into the person you are now, it has a lot of benefits. Plus, looking back into your life is something that is deeply satisfying.

You’ll see, your life is one great story.

For the past few weeks, many things had happened and while I may not disclose the whole story, here are my realizations. I came to realize that:

• In all walks of life, conflicts are inevitable.
• We can say “mean” things out of anger. So guard your tongues because you might regret it.
• You cannot please everybody.
• No matter what you do, good or bad, people will have always something to say. Right now I learned to accept the fact that even those who are the closest to me can ‘comment’ negatively because that’s just how life is.
• Friendship is not all about embracing the similarities, it’s about respecting the differences as well. Each of us is different and having arguments from time to time doesn’t mean that we should remove those people completely out of our lives.
• Blurting out your personal issues in a social networking sites won’t help. In fact, there are a lot of destroyed relationships through the social networking websites. While its true that you are entitled on your own post in your own account and it is an outlet of your feelings, indirect confrontations can make the situations even worse. So, it is better that we talk to the person we have problems about, or if you can’t, just watch your words.
• That being said, COMMUNICATION is always the key. Any relationship can be saved, and any problem can be solved if you just talk it out.
• Letting go of the need to be right is one of the most liberating things in the world.
• Own what is yours, but don’t accept blame for what is not.

There are number of instances in life when people hurt us, either with their actions or with their words. There may be times when they did not really mean it, but it just happened that you perceived them in a different way. Misunderstandings are part of life and I thank God that with communication and sincerity, repentance is possible.

This one’s a continuation of my previous post. We got to the ferry boat from Bohol to Cebu of almost 2 hours of travelling time in which I had a great time sleeping. Haha! :D

Anyway, it is my 2nd time to go in Cebu. The first one is way back 2008 or 2009 I think. I was with my family then and it was my first time to ride a plane that time! Very memorable. :)

Passed by this construction site of would-be Mall of the World! It’s going to be a very large mall with restaurants & hotels. OMG, why not in Manila or somewhere near? :))

Checked in at Crown Regency Hotel & Towers

View from our room. Plaza Osmena is <3

After our Sky Adventure: Edge Coaster. It’s a definitely must-try! Had international buffet after at Sparkz Resto (inside the hotel as well), the buffet is full of palatable dishes I wanna devour them all! From Asian, Western and our very own country as well. Was so full. Then watched at 4D Theater after, Escape From Bane Manor! The theater was so full of screams from us. :))

Chilled at Starbucks with my friends that night. :)
