Caleruega Photos! A Look Back (Sort of)

Wanderlust March 29, 2013 0

Most of the pictures are pictures from my friends who are in the pictures as well. Thank you guys! For making me feel sentimental a little bit. These just have to be in my blog. LOL. I just miss everything.

This is during one of our stop overs. I don't understand this picture very much but I look happy. Which is always nice.

My friend and I was taking pictures of people who were apparently taking pictures of us too. I don't own this photo but I'm glad this exists. You know, I know a person that takes a lot of pictures like, non-stop and he mentioned once that it's kind of not nice to take pictures of people who are prepared to have their picture taken all the time because what would they do? SMILE? Yup! But only for the camera. It's nice to take pictures of moments like this too. CANDID. And now the not so candid photo: LOL.

FRIENDS!

People I met during my internship and people I won't forget for like, forever. They're just awesome. They're like my groupmates during my first internship as well so we're always like, together and you know! Just being awesome together.

Even though it's already night time already, and raining at some point, we still wandered and just talk about everything under the sun. Or what? Haha

We were actually told to go back to our rooms at 10 because they will be closing the lights already and because it was raining really really hard, the power source in the city was out originally and that they were running everything with their power generator. And we were like, okay, we still got time. Somehow.

Then the next day, even though it rained a little bit harder, we can't be stopped. People just can't discourage us, you know! Because I remember someone warned us that we can't pass thru this area because it's dang muddy and all that. But VOILA! That's all! :)

LOL

Tagaytay Trip. Part 2.

Travel January 06, 2013 0

Just to refresh you with what happened on our TAGAYTAY TRIP, you can click on that link to sort of refresh yourselves or whatnot. :))

Can I just say that the trip up is probably my favorite part of our trip here. If you don't know what this is, this is actually TAGAYTAY'S PEOPLE PARK IN THE SKY which is like, really up the sky, if you can't tell. The trycicle fare is actually supposed to be 60 pesos but because we're on a budget, which I will tell you like, after the whole thing, we were only charged 45 pesos. Like, 15 pesos each. Which is quite a deal.

And the orientation of the picture is not because we're bad photographers or what but because it's actually really like that in real life. It's kind of tilted or whatever you call it.

And to actually get up more, well the main thing (or is it?) is actually up above this whole inclined plane? What? Ah basta you have to walk up to actually get to the picnic thingy and to have a more beautiful view of the city. The thing is jeepney drivers are actually very rampant and would want you to ride their jeepneys for like a cost. Like, if I can remember it right, 40 bucks? Which we, by the way concluded defeats the purpose of going to this place. Because, there's actually not much to see except for the view up. And if you would just want to go to the highest area of the place, that's like, wag nalang.

And because there is like a very big pineapple plantation in the city, and there are sort of little ones too that are scattered just about everywhere, Tagaytay is also known as one of the producers of pineapples in the Philippines. It's quite obvious because at the top of the People's Palace in the Sky, there;s this like tilted pineapple something something. Which is heavily vandalized by the way and that's like super minus points.

And then we were lucky to have the courage to ask someone to actually take our picture. It's awesome just to have someone to capture the moment. It's kind of awkward though. And can I just say that this is kind of a failure shot? Because the shot below should have been captured as well but for some reason, maybe the lady thought that we dressed really well for the occasion so she kind of captured our outfits instead. But thanks! Really! :)

Breathtaking view from above!

And then it got really foggy. As you can see, we were able to find another person to take a picture of us three. Thank you! :) We were kind of shy because we all have a camera right? And then my cousin actually have her camera to the man first and then the man was like looking at my camera and said that he would take a picture in my camera as well. Grateful grateful!

And after a while, it became really really foggy and it rained. Not so fun. But it was. Hahaha

One Step Closer.

UST November 29, 2012 1

I don't know if I'm really just being obsessed with anything related to Breaking Dawn or what but recently, everything is just so relevant. I can't even. It's actually a very long and complicated process that we have been through. Like, falling in line here and there just to get this graduation picture over with. Like, seriously.

So I would like to share with you some of the pictures I took whilst I was there. How nice of me right? LOL.

So let's just go back to my story first. So my friends and I are actually scheduled at 2-3 pm. We are actually 3 in the group and one of them arrived at 11 am and still didn't make it to the photo booth early because even though she arrived earlier than the scheduled time, there are others who arrived earlier. Which I actually find unfair. They should have just followed the time they reserved for a certain student so we will all somehow finish on time.

WHAT A SYSTEM. When I came at around 1, I queued for make up and stuff and all that and yeah, after maybe 2 hours, I got called and voila! PICTURE TIME.

Some of my SELCAs because the official thingy is taking a long time to happen. Some I even took in the bathroom because the background there is pink. LOL.

So here it is. Like, it's been a long time coming. Like, somehow. I don't know but I just feel like it. And I believe I deserve it. Somehow people really deserve the things they want in life. Even though how hard it is to achieve. Oh well. That's actually another story but since it's completely relevant and similar to what we are talking about, let it be.

The shooting time itself is quite fast though. Like shot, shot, shot, shot, shot, and done. Just like that. So I don't understand why the system is so slow like that.

I have a friend who came at 8 and finished at 3. Like, seriously? Are we having a little photo shoot for a magazine here or what? But I don't want to complain too much anymore.

Their make up artists are actually nice and all that . So good vibes. Also, their staffs are very accommodating. So yeah, forgiven. Okay let's go back to my GRADUATION STORY. Like, in less than five months, I'm already graduating with my first college degree. Awesome! :D Can't wait, really. Today is also very nice because for the whatever time I waited there, I am mostly with my friends so it's also like a get together of some sort. My friends and I are on different hospitals so it's always nice to catch up and all that.

Moving on... As early as now, I want to thank my parents for supporting and believing in me. I want to thank my sisters, brother, friends, cousins, and classmates for staying beside me and always cheering me on. I probably wouldn't be able to make it without them. Thank you guys. This meaningful event of my life will be dedicated to all of you.

We're ONE STEP CLOSER.

A Look Back. UST Paskuhans.

USTe November 25, 2012 1

As much as I'm concern, I actually haven't missed a single Paskuhan. Meaning my miscellaneous fee didn't go to nothing. If you're a Thomasian, you get what I mean, yeah? Okay not really bitter or anything about it. AT ALL. I'm just saying. And if you're not a Thomasian, you don't have the right to say anything about it. Maybe you're bitter.

Okay moving on...I won't really go into details because I probably forgot what happened already. I mean, it's been years. Literally.

The first Paskuhan I went to was not that bad, not that good either, like, maybe it's because I went out super early but the fireworks display cooperated and showed almost at the beginning of the program. Nice.

The first Paskuhan that I finished everything would probably be this one. Or did I finish this? Yeah, I think so. It's the Paskuhan that actually celebrated UST's 400 YEARS. This time, I went with my cousin.

The girl with fringe is actually a second degree friend that I met that time.

I noticed how bigger my group of friends get. I'm proud of myself. LOL.

Saw my seatmate along the way and decided to take a picture. Awesome.

In less than a month, it's Paskuhan once again. And luckily, I will be able to go because you know, right timing is right timing. I feel sorry for the group who wouldn't be able to come though. That's all! :)

Food Trip. A Veneto. Pesto hunt!

Ziti November 25, 2012 1

So we were in UST yesterday right? A friend of mine randomly said that she wants PESTO. And pesto is just irresistible for me. Like, seriously.

Funny thing is that the one who actually kind of opened the topic about pesto didn't even go with us. LOL. Too bad.

Really really happy that I was able to go out with my first internshipmates. Not even a word. But anyways, they all go to the same hospital now and we just see each other on Tuesdays and Saturdays.

It's not very long but compared before that we see each other almost everyday, quite long already.

So even though our other friend didn't go with us, we decided to eat anyways. Can't really stop hungry peeps from eating. LOL.

Can I just mention that I like my pasta green. My mom finds it a little weird but whatever. Green, white, and red. There you go. This is a Seafood Pesto by the way. Really nice. No regrets.

So here's a friend modelling the pesto for us. Just for fun, the plan is to actually show these pictures to our other friend who initially invited us. Mean of us, I know. LOL.

Okay so the Pesto we ordered is actually good for 2-3 pax but this one right here told us that the branch near them actually serve twice the amount for the same price.

But anyways.

This is a Cheeseburger Bacon pizza I believe. Might be ham. Whatever. LOL.

Ziti with Italian Sausage. This is probably my favorite! Like, I'm not a fan of red sauce but this is quite nice. Love the sausage in it too.

I mean just look at that cheese on top! Amazing. Another scoop from this friend though, she said that the casserole the branch near them serve, is taller than this one.

We actually can't help but feel cheated but we just said that we have to check out the branch near them and indulge on these stuff once again.

Because we all agreed that the food is actually good and worth coming back for. Nice, aye?

That's all! :)

Pensieve.

Strangers Again November 11, 2012 0

And most of the time, we kind of feel hurt about it. I have talked so much about this kind of stuff, I know. But if you would stick to me all through out this, I would be very thankful. It would be very beneficial for me to actually share everything. Well not really share. And not actually everything. It's just that..Oh wells.

Well let's just think about this blog as my PENSIEVE okay? Pensieve is actually a certain something in Harry Potter that you use to put your thoughts, and everything you have to into and yeah it just make things easier. You'll have a clearer mind, lighter, and probably better thinking because of the Pensieve that can help you unload all the stuff that you think are too much to handle. Just like what Dumbledore did. And Snape too.

So moving on...

Don't you just really really hate it when people don't stay the way you want them to become in your life? Not even their attitude. Like, your relationship with them. It's kind of frustrating to actually have someone in your life who you used to be friends with but for some reason/s, not anymore. Or even someone who you are always with and stuff but for some reason, you can't consider your friends? Maybe your colleagues? Acquaintances?

And they're not really your enemies because there's nothing that happened that will make them qualify on your list of enemies. Like, get it?

You just feel like nothing happened. That you're back to being strangers. But with some memories. Kind of weird. We used to be reminded not to talk to strangers as a child.

I GUESS IT'S JUST THAT SAD ALL OF A SUDDEN MOMENT.

I just find it really really odd how people can just ignore you after all the moments and memories you've shared together. Especially when it's like a big deal for you and it's just nothing to them. It's kind of unfair but somehow amazing how people's mind run. It really proves that we all kind of think differently. Like, even though there are sometimes when we just connect and have that "OMG we think the same moment", it's just that there will always be that moment when we will think differently and all that.

Moving on to the main person I want to talk about though, I'm actually pretty confident that we are close. We are friends. OR WERE. Maybe not TO DIE FOR close but we are pretty close. We used to talk about anything and everything under the sun every night and be awkward together. And we were happy. I guess.

I'm not even talking about romance here. Like, just friends. Oh well. That's another story but whatever. I just want to focus on how everything sort of went to nothing. FOR WHATEVER REASON. I don't like it a whole lot.

I would really appreciate it if that person would explain why and all that stuff. If there would be closure, then I wouldn't mind anymore. I know I kind of promised not to mind it anymore but you know, I just can't. I kind of failed I admit. But it's just that, for me, the friendship or whatever we had is just too precious to let go that easily. So it's kind of hard, really. It's gonna be easier I believe. But not right away. No. Please.

DRAMA! Ano ba teh? Hahaha

I don't know if I'm one of the few or one of the many who kind of feel this way right now but either way, I'm not alone. And just by thinking like that, I know this, will sooner or later be just a part of the past that we all have to let go and forget. Like, we don't have to think about this as a burden. Maybe it is to us right now. But in the future, we could just laugh about it and try to remember what happened.

The good thing about the future is even though how much you try to plan it, once in a while there could be surprises. And that's what makes it beautiful.

Who knows? That person and I might be united. We could just talk about anything again and be awkward together. Be friends or whatever. Much like the Pensieve, I can always recall what happened and be enlightened. When needed.

But for now, I just want to let go of everything. Yeah. That's what I want. :)

Internship ONE. DONE.

Wig September 30, 2012 0

I figured some people might read my INTERSHIP I post as Internship (I) as in, ME, MYSELF and I. But then that's actually (ONE). Just so you know. PEACE! :D So I just had my last night duty and last duty in that sense.

Memories! I'll definitely miss my staffs there. It's been 5 months of Internship and WOW thinking about it now, that was fast. I know I blogged about me wishing it to be over soon but hey. I actually think that everyday was a day well spent. And that's all that matters for now.

Sadly, I'm not gonna be with anyone in the picture on my next IN. In this picture, and the one below this, I'm actually closest to ALI. You might have seen her somewhere else so yeah. She's actually my hospital group mate so most of the time, if not always, we're scheduled together and stuff.

Gonna miss these guys. Except for UST people though. I guess NOT TOO MUCH because we'll actually get to see each other on Tuesdays and Fridays. ADDITIONAL UNI DAY! YUP! :D

JAMAE! We're actually gonna be together so no worries. She's another group mate and for some reason, I'm actually close to all my group mates so yeah. I'm gonna miss them all. Except for those that I'm gonna be with next IN though. Unfair? Okay whatever. I'll miss them all. LOL.

:) Jayme, Jamae, myself, and Joem. LOL.

The same person who drew out Blood Bank thank you letter drew this piece with all the Laboratory Staffs. Awesome! Like, legit. Proud post mate right here. LOL.

And we wrote stuff that we want to tell them staffs so yeah. :)

RANDOM PICTURE. LOL.

So...I guess that's it. One chapter of my book is now closed. Cherished, lived, loved, and will always remember. And just in case I forget some minute details, I could always look back.

We change.

Relationships August 02, 2012 0

If there's one thing in this world that's permanent. That's change. WOW. I've heard of this so many times that there's no way I can be able to forget it. Thinking about it though, it's kind of hard to accept this fact. That fact that one day, we'll change. It's seriously hard to imagine stuff. I mean, it's extremely alright to imagine yourself change for the better but at the end of the day, there will always be questions.

"Don't change." That's the usual words I hear when there's like some birthday dedications, graduation ceremonies, and all that stuff. But really? Why should we not? We're human beings and we're all subject to change. Subject to improve ourselves. Subject to a better life. Subject to aim for a better change even. So why that words?

Even if we don't permit some changes, it happens all the time. Our hair grows and so our nails. Day always turns into night. And all sort of other things. Like, the person that's in front of us lining to McDonald's won't be the same person who'll be in front of us tomorrow. We might be the first in line. That person might line up behind us. Or maybe still the same person. But maybe not the day after that. See? There would always be that sort of changes.

We might get a perfect mark on a certain test, and fail on another. Thing is we are not perfect. We cannot always be right. We cannot always get what we want. But if we work hard for it, then we might get close.

But how? How can we make things right? How can we change things to the right direction? To the right direction again?

I mean, is it even acceptable to accept change when there's no reason to change it? Something like, a plastic surgery to a very beautiful person? But that's another thing. I don't want to talk about it now.

One thing I want to talk about now. Or probably to talk again. Well, not entirely the same though. So yeah. There are just some things I want to share. I had quite some friends when I was still in elementary and for some reason, I only managed to talk to one of them or at least constantly. That one person happened to be my best friend by the way. In high school though, I probably have more. But what happened? Maybe because of different schedules now that we're all in college and probably some are already working and stuff. See, even that status changed. We cannot always be elementary or high school students.

Let's talk about relationships. Not that I am an expert or whatever to this. I just want to talk about it. Relationships seem to be so perfect at first. Then there will be some fights after that few days (or months) then there will be forgiveness. Then there would be other things to fight to. Then there will be forgiveness. And after some more repetition, there wouldn't be forgiveness anymore. There wouldn't be anything to fight to, no more to fight for. Why so? Maybe because the level of tolerance of the other party changed. Or maybe because the level of offense changed as well. Or maybe it's just their feelings that changes. And then they part.

That kind of change though is very sad. Because for all I know, two people have to promise to always be there for each other and all that stuff.

I will get a little bit personal here though. Or maybe no. Click here to read. I failed that time. I promised myself not to talk to that person ever again but I just can't. I wasn't able to imagine life without talking to that person. Like, we used to talk at night and talk about the random-est stuff in this world and just laugh at anything. I used to feel butterflies in my stomach, how cheesy that may sound. But I don't know what happened. I actually talked about him that and he said that it's not me. It's him and all that rubbish. Just a little bit of history though, read it here. Like, for reals.

Like, I can't remember doing anything. So I have been wondering why our conversations end. Like, out of the blue, it's as if we don't know each other at all. That bothers me a lot. And to my surprise, it's as if he don't care. Oh well. I'd be lying if I say that I am not hoping that every thing will be the same way as it used to be. But I am not lying to tell you that my hopes aren't that high anymore. And it's definitely okay if we wouldn't be the same way as we were before. Time probably helped me. So I changed. And I am happy because it made me feel lighter about this. But unlike before, I don't feel angry and all that anymore. Like what I've assumed awhile ago, maybe my feelings changed. And I'm assuming his too. And for some reason, I think it's okay.

So yeah, of course change wouldn't be always POSITIVE. Like that personal experiences I've mentioned above.There would always be negative changes and that sort we should avoid. How exactly? I don't know. Maybe we should always remind ourselves to walk on the right path and stuff like that.

One thing is for sure though. Change is something permanent. Maybe we're just too busy to notice that everyday, there's a change. How little may them be. May it be the position of the sun when we look at it, or something else. Change will always be there. On what kind of change will it be, we may have full control of it. If not, we can always change it and revert it afterwards. Or not.

Bestie! Hidemi.

Shikimikie February 28, 2012 0

<----- Back when we were young

This picture was taken after we had some swimming and stuff and all that. Yeah! SAGAMIHARA KOEN REPRESENT!

Why, hello there! I just want to introduce you my best friend. Hidemi. She’s the reason why I miss Japan so much. It’s because we can’t see each other anywhere than there. How did we meet? It’s a complicated but fun story and I think it’s not important to share anymore. It’s fun though. I might tell you some other time.

I think I was 15 and she was 13 in the picture above. 14 – 12. 13 – 11. Do the math. Whatever.

Just peace-ing

Gah! I love her. I have't seen her in ages.

Anyways, this door used to be the entrance for their apartment but I heard they moved to a different place so I have to find out where she lives when I get to see her soon.

I know she's gonna kill me when she sees this but WTF girl? WTH did you do to your brows man? Where did they go? Hahaha

To make up for it, here's her gorgeousity. Yeah I totally made up that word but appropriate right? Yeah thanks. I already miss her and can't wait to see her next year. OMG too soon!
