miss independent

Sometimes, you’ll just have to face your fears to overcome.

This week, I just moved to an apartment together with my office mates. It frightened me at first for I’ve never been away from my dad, brother, and boyfriend.  I was always dependent to these three important men of my life and I just can’t bear not seeing them.

However, I must do what I have to do because living around the city means easy access to my school, office and church. It would also help me learn to stand on my own, budget my finances, pay my own bills, and do household chores.

It has been almost a year since I entertained the thought of moving. And I just woke up one day with this firm decision. Everyone in our crib was surprised for the decision was all so sudden. It’s like I just launched an atomic bomb! Nevertheless, they still helped me out and PACKING WAS HEARTBREAKING.  I want every single thing to move with me yet I had to pick those that are only important.

currently, I'm still on my 3rd day in the apartment and I'm loving it although I still have some adjustments to do like sleeping in a smaller bed. =)

I have no regrets with this decision. In fact, I feel so blessed because I know that the Lord has his purpose for giving me this life's new chapter. 

"As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord"...

1 plus 1, doubles the fun!

This page is dedicated to the twin sisters Chenny and Chicky Wong who are celebrating their 23^rd birthday today!!!

A general stereotype of identical twins is that they are clones of another. Contrary to our previous beliefs, identical twins do not look alike, act alike, and are expected to be “identical”. The term “identical” only refers to the manner of how they were formed and not on their physical appearances.

As to how they’re formed, I might want to leave that on experts. Lol

Among the twins, it was Chenny that I’d known first. She’s my officemate and we became friends right away. She’s easy to get along with. It’s only almost one year since we formally meet one another, although I always saw her from the university we attended. I never thought we’ll be friends and I hope I’m credible enough to share something about the twins.

The twins chenny and chicky are the exact opposite of another. They differ on their facial features, interests, body type and a lot more. Chenny is a creature of extremes. She is the carefree, extrovert and on-the-go type of the girl. She loves going out with friends. 

Meanwhile, Chicky is the home buddy for she loves staying at home and watching her favorite romantic movies. She’s introvert, silent, sweet, simple and that girl-next-door type. 

The twins also differ in things randomly. Chenny’s passion is scrapbooking, her temperament is Sanguine, she likes color blue, brand conscious because its long-lasting. On the other hand, Chicky has passion for writing, she’s Phlegmatic, like color pink, girly and would prefer ukay-ukays.

But of course, the Wong twins have their similarities too. They both have cute chinky eyes, could be melancholic, they love THE CORRS, like eating. One commendable trait of the twins is that they are TRULY, MADLY, DEEPLY IN LOVE WITH JESUS, even willing to exchange lavish life for their one true love. They do not have insecurities for they know so well that the Lord is with them in good and trying times.  

Right now, I’m living with the twins in a very cute apartment we’re renting. I so love the girls.

 HAPPY BIRTHDAY LADIES! You’re both beautiful inside and out.

P.S. I also got chinky eyes and Chinese blood. I could be their long, lost triplet. =)

what's in the name?

Barbeque is one of my favorites!

In this city, “Antipolo” and “You and I” are two of the most famed barbeque houses. Today, I was craving for it and so I asked my friends for dinner and we went to “You and I”. Its been decades since I last visited the place probably because  there’s been a lot of new restos sprouting like mushrooms. My friends and I love to try new places to eat and sometimes, we fell in love with that place and would visit it often. We would even befriend waiters and staff.  One time at Penong’s, we were given extra rice on every meal although we didn’t avail the unlimited rice they were advertising.  

Furthermore, choosing a restaurant name is very essential to advertise the food you serve. It creates and reflect  meaning, theme, ambiance and impression to the customers. It’s also one way to market the business. In General Santos City, there are a lot of resto names that are just unique and creative. “Pahayahay” is for one, it’s a Cebuano term for relaxation. There’s also Asian Toungue, Goatbingan, Grab a Crab and the list go on.

However  today is different, I was so surprise and I cant help but laugh my heart out when I saw the new barbeque house that was erected near You and I. 

In case you’re not familiar with the place, here’s the picture.

 

I don’t know the reason why they name their resto as such but with the bbq house beside them, I think I know why. Of all the names, they call the place “Together Again”.

I hope the owner of You and I didn’t find it insulting because it sure made us laugh.

YOU AND I, TOGETHER AGAIN. What more can I say. =)

P.S. these bbq houses should at least compensate me for advertising them. hihi

sweet misery

My first semester in law school is finally over!

Who would have thought that I could actually surpass everyday recitations, case digest here and there, and never-ending readings while working at night? I’m a travel agent, just so you know…

It is hard being a working student. Your reading time is very limited and so sometimes, I attend my classes unprepared. I’m always catching up with the discussions and appear muzzy most of the times.  

However, I regard my situation as something on my advantage. For one, I can’t just take time for granted and I’ve learn to make out my priorities.

Or maybe, I learned studying the hard way…

Before our final examinations, SOCOTECO II is having tantrums and a blackout is hitting the town again. 10 hours of inconvenience is just unbearable.  I can’t just sit around my crib and do nothing while finals is approaching… (I love the rhyming... lol)

Great thing I’m an extrovert and studying with other people is never a problem. Another great thing is that I have classmates who are just like me. We went to coffee shops and 24-hour fastfood chains and read our fat and thick textbooks. 

while am writing case digests...

the ex-Atenista Hiro, romantic Bai and hilarious Phoy 

DJ Hannah.. serious much? 

Brigada Jed, the sniper.. haha!

the rock n roll Dominique

Sir Rocky, our father, financier and class President =)

and the sweets! my ultimate stress reliever!

Studying is FUNtastic when you learn to love it and  misery when you take it as a burden. First semester had just ended and it’s still a long road to take. 

Note to self: whenever you feel unmotivated, just remember this statement:
