A Quick Manila Trip//

 The coolest nun hahaha, she will be gone for 6 days, spending her time wisely before going back to Africa.

Many years ago since the last time I went here.

 And I can't believe this restaurant is still here, same place and same face.

 Brother the driver. He had this app in his iPhone which tell us the right way, in case we got lost. It does talk like, "In 400 meters, turn right.", "On a roundabout, keep left.", "You have reach your destination.", hahahaha and I'm like, yeah yeah we know.

 Checkys! Too bad we changed directions.

 I was shocked when I saw this cart. I wish there are like these in Pampanga, and would dare to ride one, huhuhu.

 The city that never sleeps.

 

After we dropped sister at the convent, my (older)brother and I decided to go to TriNoma. There were lots of people, can't even walk fast. There are many stalls compared here in Pampanga. We walked for about 2 hours and agreed to go home because it's getting late and yet we stopped in a gasoline station and grabbed cups of DQ and Cinnabon.

A happy Sunday for us =)

Ps: Apparently, it is my first time to go around TriNoma.

Pps: It was difficult to take pictures when the car runs fast, very fast.

Ppps: My mom bought me camera, now I'll be posting not-so-often times.

Ain't Summer Bummer//

Summer has its end. College is approaching...

In 3, 2, 1...

Last Sunday, June 2, would be, I think, my last "hirit". The day was fun. I got so tired. Lots of drive. Too much for a day.

It's Family Day

• Sunday Mass: First thing we did was to attend mass. It's Sunday. We're Catholic, so.
• 56 years: Yep, it was my Lolo and Lola's 56'th wedding anniversary. Though my Lolo isn't here anymore, after the mass we headed straight to visit him.
• Seminaryo: It has been 5 years since I've here. We came to visit my uncle(he's a priest, well I have two) to see his new room.(I didn't get to take a picture of his room) Every five years priest were being shuffled to different parish or sometimes they go back here at seminaryo.

Before we went here, we dropped in in Jollibee to buy food. We had chicken, fries, fries, fries.. So you know what happens.

• Recital: After, we went home(cousin's) to rest for hours and went to Heroes Hall(recital's venue). So, I've been staying these past weeks at my cousin's for some reasons. And every Tuesday and Saturday she's having her piano lessons. Twice a year her teacher manages to have a recital for them. There were about 30 of them, from probably 5 to 17 year-old recitalists performed.(Piano, violin, guitar, vocal, drums) THEY WERE SO GOOD. Though they are just kids, watching them play their pieces, I felt happy and thankful I had the chance to see SOME of them.

• Sacred Heart: My grandmother had this Sacred Heart of Jesus for 53 years. Every year(Second of June) we are doing a renewal ceremony with the whole family but this time I didn't have to pray with because I went to the recital.

•  Among Mhey's Birthday: Actually they have the same birthday with the Sacred Heart of Jesus. My lola told me that they have the Sacred Heart after giving birth to my Uncle.  He's the other priest by the way.

He called and treated us at David's Tea House at SM Pampanga. Honestly speaking, everytime we have family gatherings, it is either my mom will cook or we'll go here at David's ordering the same food again and again. HAHAHA

Sadly, two of my cousins didn't make it to join us because they already have classes the day after so they have gone to Manila.

And last part are the best!!!

WE INVADED THE HAPPY LEMON

Everyone had their drinks. Everyone was full. We got tired of walking. All of us were happy.

Liga's Day Out//

After ages(when I say ages it is just one month), we got to see each other again!!!!!

We graduated high school. We're going to college. We'll be parting ways. We' won't see each other more often... Huhuhu.

Loud pose for us.

We do not laugh. We scream.

The Normal pose.
L-R: Mika, Charry, Arfyelle, Kristin, Me, Mots, Marion, Cess, Inah

We do jokes through indirect speeches. We talk through eyes.

And yeah, the AWKWARD pose.
(I'm the tallest, bam!)

 You'll never hear us quiet. You'll never see us behave. 

Our shirt, key chain from Marion, pictures, pictures.

 Highlights of my Summer 2013. For the last time before college, we make time to have each other again. 

Spent this day right and fun that made me miss them more now.

I was born as the only girl, but God delayed for 14 years and gave me eight loud and loving sisters.

Beware of Thieves//

I know I should be blogging about Mothers' Day but something BIG happened this day.

We had this tradition that every Mothers' Day, which is also the feast day of Sta. Monica in Minalin, Pampanga. We will hear mass and then we would be staying at the old(very)house where my mom and my titas were raised.

Here's now what happened. I had my cousin's backpack loaded with his food, shirts, my tita's iphone and samsung qwerty(idk), and her wallet. The other strap of the bag was ripped so I just sling it with my one shoulder. I was with my lola, accompanying her because, you know, she's old. INSIDE THE CHURCH, RIGHT AFTER THE MASS, MY TITA LOST HER IPHONE BC OF ME. 

There were lots (when I say lots, I mean LOTS) of people. My tita asked me to take picture with my cousin using the iPad beside a huge Sta. Monica. I was still carrying the bag. After taking pictures, my lola called me to go with her to see some of the relics of the Saints. I was on my way to her when two evil ladies  in front blocking me. It is like they were squeezing me. I even shouted, "Excuse me po, dadaan po ako!!" as if they didn't hear me. I shouted again, louder this time, "DADAAN PO AKO!!!" then they released me. I thought that time that they also want to have a picture with Sta. Monica so I didn't mind and focused on my way to my lola.

Just a seconds, my tita called me bc my cousin asked for food. She saw the bag was open. That moment I realized her iPhone was missing. WE ARE INSIDE THE CHURCH. I thought of the squeezing-blocking moment. I got snatched. I ran to find those evils but for sure they had ran away quickly.

Only the iPhone 4s was stolen bc its case was bright yellow, easy to catch and all the stuffs were all inside the bag. 

I feel terribly sorry. IT IS MY FIRST TIME TO BE SNATCHED LOST SOMETHING THAT I DO NOT OWN.

I don't know what to do, "sorry" is not enough to express my deep sorry to my tita. I cried, of course. Everyone was telling that it isn't my fault. That nobody wants this to happen. NO, I HAD THE BAG. I'M THE ONE RESPONSIBLE OF THAT BAG. She told me, "Bat ka umiiyak? Di mo naman kasalanan." I owe my tita a lot. She even joked me that I have to buy her phone when I will have my first salary. And now I'm thinking about that.

With my brother and tita, they were able  to block the sim card and the phone. So those thieves won't be able to use them, boo hoo. Sorry.

My Mom and lola comforted me. That's the power mothers. And for the rest of the day I felt safe and sound YET bad about what happen.

SO FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO TOOK TIME TO READ THIS, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE TAKE CARE OF BELONGINGS. ALWAYS HAVE THEM ON YOUR SIGHT. THE HUMAN RACE IS  GOING WILD NOW DUE TO TECHNOLOGY. THEY STEAL, THEY BECOME GREED. THEY FORGOT ABOUT THE SPIRITUAL PRESENCE THAT RULE THE WORLD.

GOD IS ALWAYS THERE WATCHING US.

HAVE A CONTENTMENT ON WHAT YOU HAVE.
