Life Lately

It's been a while since my last blog, sorry for that. October is ending, it means classes for the 2nd sem is near. Yay for that! Haha I'm not a very school lover type of person, but sembreak is really killing me now, I mean the boredom. Ugh -.- I was enjoying the early part of the break, since I went to Bantayan with classmates. But as the weeks goes by, daaang! it's really not that good though. Well, thanks to my friends who still killed the boredom, cousins who spent the entire day having movie marathons, my ever loyal lover, FOOD and the internet. Haha just be posting photos how was life lately. Make stories out of these :)

Survival Training, More Like A Vacation

Wohooo Sembreak! This year's semester break was one of the best for me. Our section, Bravo went to the very awesome island of Bantayan, Cebu. We had our survival training simulation exercise there, it's a requirement on our course. As what the post title says, it's more like a vacation indeed. I could say, it was 20% survival training and 80% fun vacation. Hahaha we stayed at the place for 3 days only. I badly want to stay in there for more days, but of course I have to go. Although, I REALLY HAD SO MUCH FUN AND ENJOYED the stay :))) loved the place, the white sand beach, beautiful sunset and scenery, the company of friends & classmates, food, the bantayanon people and everything indeed. Gotta go back in there some other time :)

Isn't the beach calls you for a swim? Haha
Beach buddies, Dada and Kat :)
Yours Truly :>
Classmates with our Mother Monster turned Abbu Sayyaf hahaha LOL

Boodle fight dinner during the 2nd night of stay. Everyone did put a goddamn fight! Hahaha
See? seems like we just had a picnic by the beach! Hahahaha Ohhhh the food we had, c'mon they made me so full during our stay :D (lunch during the last day)
Bantayan Sunset

Looking forward to visit the place again, and with my complete set of barkada. hopes up high! :)

Lace & Aztec Craze

Two posts last night, and a post now. Isn't it obvious that I'm so bored? Haha well it's Finals week and I got no exams for today, still have to review and finish my essay project though. Anyways, I know I promised in one of my previous posts that I'll be posting outfit posts, sorry for that. I just don't have enough time, busy maybe. Haha Well, I and my friend Katrina got the chance to shoot these photos before we went to Tresha's debut (as what you've seen on my previous post) We were so lacey that night! She'll be posting hers on her blog too. So horaaah for the new outfit post :)

I forgot where my sandals were, so I just grabbed these flats. Haha







This outfit looks expensive, but it was totally not! Great outfits doesn't need to be expensive. Just be street smart :)

More Love, Less Hate

Hmmmmm... I don't know how to start this post. As I was scrolling around my tumblr dashboard, I saw this quote "more love, less hate" which the title itself as well. I've seen it for the past few months already and I just didn't mind it, didn't appreciate it at all, the meaning to be specific because of too much hatred feeling I had. But now, its totally different. Let's say my aura for the past few months had changed. And thaaaaank God! I have this light feeling now :) To start the story going, it really wasn't easy for me living my life this past few months. That feeling when you feel so miserable because of that one person who was gone in your life. Yes, I've been in misery. I was the one who broke up, but he was the one who gave me reason to do so. I walked away, but he didn't chase me after. Isn't that painful for a girl? well it was, painful indeed. But that doesn't end the story. And what's worse? he had somebody else. It didn't cross my mind that we would have third party issues, but oh well, it did. When I first heard the issue, I didn't believe in it. Though he hurted me already, in my mind, I was still defending him. He sent me a long message through facebook, apologizing for what had happened to us, for hurting me (well that didn't made him a true man, must have talked to me in person, right? Haha well its done) I felt so numb reading his message, for the reason that I started to hate him. I confronted him regarding the issue that he had another girl already, and unexpectedly, he admitted it was true. As I was reading his message, his explanations and everything, my world did fall apart. Tears ran down but I was really trying so hard to stop them from falling (oh c'mon so dramatic sh*t haha)
I kept on asking myself, "where did I go wrong?" countless questions running on my mind, yet no answers. And the most hated part is, he was the one who left, the one who hurted someone, yet the one who was happy. And me? a fucking loser looking entity (but not now anymore) Been crying for nights. Wishing he would come back and continue what we had started, but it wasn't. He's happy with somebody else now. It was hard for me to forget what we had and accept what happened to us. He left me hanging at the time when I'm loving him so much already. I trusted and believed in him so much that he wouldn't leave me. I wasn't prepared when he left. I hate him, but later on I'm starting to miss him again. Miserable again, then hatred strikes, then I'm gonna forget him, but later on gonna be sad again. The process was such a piece of hell, super shit. For months, I've been a complete dumb-ass, listening to sad songs, reminiscing and everything. 

BUT NOW, it's different. Maybe my heart got so tired of being so sad already. Haha I suddenly had this magical feeling that I could say, I moved on. I'm so much better now. Yes, I guess this is it. *i really hope so* I know I deserve to be happy, give my heart a break. Even though it ended up badly, I thank God why it happened to me. I learned so much from that experience. I know I had many expectations that just failed, expected we would last, he'll gonna be my first and last but it wasn't. Our "forever" has come to an end, forever is just a word. The experience made me stronger, exposed me to the world's reality that nothing lasts forever. I can't completely say I've forgotten him, 'coz I would really not. He was the first guy whom I loved the most and that couldn't be taken away from my mind. Even though we ended up like this, I know in myself I did my part well and I've been faithful to him. His loss really, not mine. Hahaha It's just that I've accepted what happened to us and say goodbye to the bittersweet memories we had. Time would heal everything, I believe in that :) Time would come that we'll be friends again and forgiveness will completely be given. What matters to me now is that I'm happy again, of course this is because of God and my friends <3 my epic friends were just the ones who knew what I'd been through, since I don't have the guts to share this with my family. Thank God indeed, he fulfilled my hopes and prayers. 

To end this up, what doesn't kill me made me stronger. Let's just face life's challenges. There's a rainbow always after the rain :) Let the good vibes roll!

Tresha's 18th

“You are never too old to become younger”
- Mae West

It was the debut of a very good friend of mine, Tresha last October 6, held in Open Mic, Banawa, Cebu City. I know this is a late post. Haha anyways, Tresha's debut wasn't the same with those traditional debut parties with formal get up and those with cotillion thingy. The guests were required to wear white, but there were some who were hard-headed though. Haha She had a very chill party, held in a chill acoustic lounge and delish pica-pica foods. Of course all of us did enjoy the aura of that night. She's definitely now the "Ate" of the group, she's the first one in legality. Well, I'm looking forward for more debut parties from friends! Haha :)

Tresha, the debutant with her hmmmmmm.....guy friend Edward. Heee :)

Justine + Joy I: Photobooth Stuffs

Last Saturday, September 29, my brother Justine got married with his long time girlfriend, Jan'2/Joy. They were ignited as one with the Catholic Church. I was so emotional at that day, seems like I'm the one getting married! Hahaha I was just so happy for my brother, to the both of them actually. As Jan'2 was walking down the aisle, I really felt so enchanted, felt so happy that a huge smile on my face was created. But when I looked on the other side and saw my brother waiting for her at the altar, I was really in tears 'coz he was in tears as well. I was just so happy for them and very touched. Weeeee congrats to the newly weds! :)

These pictures are from 123SMAYL Photobooth! that was hired during the reception. I will be posting these first, since the church and reception photos were not yet released by the photographers.
