HAPPY 18TH BIRTHDAY TO ME!!! =)

Wish #18: To stay in LOVE :)

And now, I'm down to my last wish...

I wish to stay in love with everything. I wish this feeling would last forever. I don't know how to express how much I love that person and how important he is to me. We've been through a lot of things but I still chose to love him. I tried to give up this feeling but it keeps on coming back. He may not be the perfect guy in this world, but he's perfect for me.

I wish that whatever we have now, it will stay the same. I don't know the exact words to say how happy and in love I am right now. Everything is just so perfect.

I'm in love and always will be.

Wish #17: A Blessed Life

My life has been so blessed for the past 17 years and I couldn't ask for more. I feel like everything is falling into its right place this time. I'm blessed to have a loving and supporting family, a good company of friends, and a special someone who inspires me with everything. Oh, I just got lucky to have all of them. =)

I wish that God will continue to bless me as I enter a new stage of my life. Like what I always say, things would be really different when I turn eighteen. I don't know what to expect but I'm actually excited to see whatever life throws on me. :)

I wish that God will bless me in whatever decisions I make in life. Being blessed is being contended with everything. :)

Wish #16: Earphones

When I entered our gate yesterday, my dog welcomed me with a BANG. Because he's so happy to see me, he attacked me right away and he pulled my earphones. Then I just saw my earphones on the floor, broken :( I was really mad at my dog because I just bought that earphones a few months ago. I tried to fix it but only the left earphone is functioning. Waaah. :(( Wrong timing Doggie. Tsk.

So now, I wish to have a new earphones. Any earphones would do but I like Philips because its cheap and it comes in different colors. As much as I want to buy the original Apple earphones, it would cost me a lot of money. I know I can be kuripot in things like this so I just opt to buy the cheap ones. I'm not comfortable now to use my Ipod with only one earphone. Huhuhu. :(

Wish # 15: Happiness

I know everyone deserves to be happy. Problems may come into our life but in due time, everything will be okay and happiness would always prevail. I'm happy with my life now and I wish that it'll always stay this way. I've already found my happiness.

Simple things in life makes me really happy. Seeing the people I love the most makes me happy. Now, I don't want to waste my time on non-sense people and things. I know that there are beautiful reasons to be happy with my life now. :D

stay HAPPY and stay in LOVE

Got my dreams, got my life, got my love, got my friends, got the sunshine above. Why am I making this hard on myself, when there`s so many beautiful reasons I have to be happy.

Wish #14: To graduate next year

Its my last year in DLSU and hopefully, I could graduate by June 2010. June 2010 is my target year to graudate. That's why I'm really protecting my academics now. I don't want to ruin any chances that would be given to me. I know my priorities and studies is on top of my list. I know I'm only 18 when I graduate and I don't know yet whats the next step for me. Of course, I want to find a work already but I feel like i'm not ready yet to face a new chapter in my life. If opportunities will open its doors for me, then I will not hesitate to grab it. But I want to learn more. I still want to discover a lot of things. I want to have additional knowledge. So I'm planning to study again, but I've not yet decided on what course to take. For now, I will focus first in my studies. I told my parents once that I will fail one of my major subjecs for me to get delayed so I'll be acentennial graduate on 2011. Well of course, I was only joking at that time. I wish to graduate next year, and I believe it would definitely happen. :D

Wish #13: More time with my friends

I miss all of my friends. I miss my high school friends. I miss my CHICAS. :( It's so sad to think that I haven't been hanging around with them ever since this first term started. Our schedules are different now compared to the previous terms that we've been together, whether minor or major subjects. Lexie and I still have the same schedule this term. But time doesn't really permit us to hang out with them. I miss talking and laughing with them. I miss all our kalokohans. I miss everything. :( With my high school friends, I miss them too. I only have communication with a few of them. Sometimes, I miss my high school days. I still remember all the things that I went through those days but I'm just trying to remember the good things that happened to me. If not for it, I wouldn't be the person I am right now. :)

I wish that I could spend more time with my friends. I'm not taking them for granted because they're very special to me. Maybe, its just because of our busy schedules thats why we can't find time to be together. I wish I could spend my out of town trip with them. :) Especially to CHICAS, I wish I could bring back the days that we're always together. I wish the six of us could hang out soon. I wish I could spend a whole day with them doing the things that we used to do before. :D Too much drama I know, but that's how important my friends are to me. :)

Wish #12: Out of the country trip

The last time I left the country was in the year 2005. I was only third year high school then. I went to Bangkok with my siblings. It was actually my first international trip. :) I still remember when I was so excited to arrive at the airport, to fall in line in the immigration, to get my passport stamped, and to ride the big airplane. =))

And now, after 4 years, I want to go out of the country again. We have plans, but none of it happened yet. I wish that on my birthday, someone would generously pay for my plane tickets to the country of my choice. I just really want to ride an airplane again. It just feels so amazing everytime I ride it. :P I want to explore other cultures. I want to meet new nationalities. I want to see my Kababayans who were working abroad. I want to experience shopping in another country. :) In short, I want to discover and experience everything that's different from my country. :D

And now, here are my top 10 destinations if I go out of the country:

1. New York
2. Los Angeles
3. Las Vegas
4. Paris
5. Italy
6. Spain
7. Bangkok
8. Hongkong
9. Macau
10. Singapore

Ohhhh... I really wish I get the chance to visit these countries. Just one country, and I would be really really happy. =) Its a big happy birthday to me. :D
6.

Wish #11: Out of town trip

I think that I really need a break after this first term ends. I want to go out of town with my family or friends. I haven't had an out of town trip yet with my friends. I know that there would be a lot of fun if we go out of town together. If I go out of town, I don't want to ride an airplane unless its needed. I would prefer to ride a ship/boat (I haven't tried yet) or just to drive all night long. More fun. More Happiness. More discoveries :)

I want to explore the Philippines. I want to go to the different provinces here in the country. I want to experience their way of life. It feels to good to be away from Manila for a time. I want to relax and enjoy other places here in the country. Everytime I go out of town, I find my life really peaceful. The feeling that I'm away from traffic, pollution, and problems from the city. :D

So here are the top 10 destinations that I wish to go to:

1. Pangasinan ( there's really something that I like in this place)
2. Boracay
3. Puerto Galera
4. Subic
5. Cebu
6. Davao
7. Vigan
8. Cam Sur
9. Bohol
10. Baguio

Wow. I hope I find a way to go to these places. It would be really awesome if that happens :)

Wish #10: Good Health

No more Swine Flu please. I wish good health for myself, my family, my friends, and those people who are very special to me. I hope this A(H1N1) would finally come into an end. Swine Flu scared me to death. I thought I had it when it hit my school and classes were suspended for 10 days. I had fever the day it was announced. Anyway, I'm in good condition now and I'm more conscious to my health than before. I take Vitamin C everyday before I go to school to boost up my energy and to immune myself from diseases. I became more aware of my personal hygiene to prevent the spread of the disease. I hope I become physically fit soon. I'm starting to tag along with sister everytime she goes to the gym. I enjoyed it the first time I went with her. I'm honest enough to say that I'm chubby and there's nothng wrong about my body. I just need to lose some weight. :P I promise that I won't starve myself anymore. I don't eat sometimes because of two things: first is because I want to lose weight and second is because I want to save money. I know its not good for my health. I don't want to end up lying in a hospital bed. So in the next few days, I'll try to have a healthy lifestyle :) GOODLUCK :P

Wish #9: To be a Dean's Lister

The last time that I became a Dean's Lister is 3rd term during my frosh year. I was first honors then. Ever since I had my majors, I never made it in the Dean's List. I tried my best to study well during my 2nd year but I guess it wasn't just good enough.

Honestly, I miss being a Dean's Lister. Its not about the unlimited cuts that I would get. Its about how my parents would be proud of me. I know its the only way to give them back what they've given me all these years. I know how happy and proud they are everytime I make in the Dean's List. Especially my Dad, I know all the sacrifices he made just to give me everything that I want. I know he deserve something like this. I know how happy he was during those times that I'm a Dean's Lister. And I want to bring that happiness back to him.

I always wish this everytime I celebrate my birthday. I always wanted to be a consistent Dean's Lister. I hope this time, it would already happen. I'm working extra hard now just to achieve this goal. I wish to be a consistent Dean's Lister in my last 3 terms in DLSU. I promise myself that it would be different this time. I'll try to balance everything and not be paranoid about other things. I have faith in myself that I could do it. I know that I will always get the support of my parents, friends, and God, whom I trust everything that's happening in my life. I know this term would be a lucky one. I can feel it. Can you feel it too? :)

Wish #8: A Laptop Bag

I've been wanting this for a long time now. All the laptop bags that I saw are quite expensive for me. So I've decided that I'll just put it on my wishlist and hoping that someone who is generous enough would give me this as a birthday gift :P My laptop is 15inches so its not really hard to find a perfect laptop bag for it. The reason why I'm really lazy to bring my laptop in school is that I don't have a laptop bag. I can't always put my laptop inside my bag without anything to cover it. And its really hard for me to walk if there's a laptop at my back. I prefer to have a laptop bag with handle. :) I don't demand for any specific color. Any color would do but I like the color pink or brown :P

Debut Alert:
Yehey! Finally, we already had our pre prod just before I do this entry :) I already picked the clothes that I will be wearing. My room is so messed up a while ago because all my clothes were scattered around it. I also have a change outfit every 15 minutes to pick the best outfit for me. :) Luckily, we were able to decide 6 outfits that I would be wearing on my shoot.

I'll be having my pre debut shoot on Saturday at The Fort and a studio in Better Living Paranaque. Call time is at 6:30am. I feel like a real model =)) Goodluck to me!! I'm getting nervous now because I don't know what approach will I do during the shoot. But I believe that I can handle this. Let my spirit be alive on that day. Confidence is the key :) I'm vain. I'm a camwhore. I hope the shoot would be easy and fun :)

Wish #7: Bags for Life

I want a new bag on my birthday. I would love to have a new backpack or shoulder bag. I want to have a Roxy or Jansport backpack because their designs are super cute. Usually, I go to school with a backpack because I feel more comfortable with it. I could put everything there. I rarely use shoulder bags at school because my shoulders are easily hurt everytime I use it. I only use it if I don't have much things to bring, which is so unlikely to happen. =)) I want a shoulder bag that I could use everytime I go to mall. The shoulder bag that I have now is super big and I find it very odd to use when I'm at the mall because there's nothing much inside except for my wallet, cell phone, and perfume. :P Body bags would also be perfect for me because I can always match it with whatever I wear at school. :) I also want to have a party bag so everytime I'll go to parties I have my own one and I don't need to borrow anymore from my sister. :) I used to collect bags before but I stop now. I just ask my sister to give me the bags that she's not using anymore. =P

Wish #6: Clothes

Yes, I wish for more clothes. Since my school doesn't have uniform, I need to have lots of clothes. I would love to wear ukay-ukay clothes because they're trendy and cheap. =) I'm really "kuripot" everytime I buy clothes. I only buy clothes from expensive shops like Zara, Mango, Topshop, etc. if i have lots of money or my sister will treat me a shopping spree. I'm really not the fashionista type of girl. I only know a bit about fashion but I can mix and match my clothes well. I would always love to wear skinny jeans at school. Yes, I want a new skinny jeans. Any top would do except for statement tees because I'm really not a fan of it. :P I

I'll be having a general cleaning of my closet before my birthday. I think now is the time to give out to those who are in need my clothes that i'm not using anymore. Plus, I want to give my closet a new look. My closet now looks like a jungle. :P I want to organize everything. I'm stepping soon into a new stage of life so I better start doing simple things now. :) So to anyone who will give me clothes on my birthday, I would really aprreciate it. Hey, don't forget about my size. Hahaha. I'm not a skinny girl, but I'm not really fat. Chubby is the best word to describe me :P LOL :P

Wish #5: Ballet Flats

Next to Havaianas, Ballet Flats is the most comfortable shoes for me. Since flipflops are not allowed in school anymore, I need to collect more flats to go with my outfits. I love flats that comes in metallic color :) The ones in CMG and Schu are great and I find it elegant. I have several pairs now but it seems that they don't fit me anymore. So now, I'm including ballet flats on my wishlist. I don't care if its expensive or not, as long as it looks good and perfect on me. Flats could go with anything you wear. Whether you're wearing pants or palda, as long as you can mix and match your outfit with your flats, then definitely you'll look fabulous, :)

Buzz Alert:
I finally got my invitations today and I'm ready to give them out to my guests as soon as we finish printing the map and their names in the envelopes. Hopefully, we could finish doing it by the end of this week. :D I'll have my pre debut shoot on saturday and we haven't decided yet with our location :P I haven't even prepared yet the clothes that I would be using. Gaaah, help me. It's our midterms week. I don't know what to do now. :

1 month to go and hello womanhood! :)

Today is July 12, 2009 and it's a special day for me. But next month is gonna be more super duper special. August 12, 2009----the day I've been waiting for the past 17 years. Hoooraaaaayyyyy!!!! I'm 18 =) One month to go and I can't wait for it! That day is going to be the most important day of my life. Hello, adulthood. I'll stop being childish on that day. Everything would change. I promise. I'll transform myself:) I will forget all the bad things that happened into my life for the past 17 years. I already know the reasons why they happened and I've already paid the consequences for all the wrong things that I've done. :P

I want to do anything that I want before I turn 18. I want to do things that I've never tried before. Probably, diving into a cliff, and trying to take a sleeping pill. Hahahahaha. Stupid, I know but these are just the things that I want to do. :P I want to cherish every moment before I turn eighteen. I still have 30 days to do that. We're only young once, so we better grab every opportunity that comes to us. Unless, I'll be 17 again. hahahaha. I wish I could be 1 year old again. When everything seems to be so easy because all I know is to eat, play, and cry. Unlike now that I have to figure out a lot of things. So many issues to face. Too much drama. Too much love. :) Gaaaah, Drama Queen alert. I better stop now. I just love the feeling that I'll be 18 already in just a month. All I have to do now is wait, relax, and enjoy whatever life throws on me. :)

Oh, and I forgot to mention, I'm super excited too for my debut. Save the date, okay? :)

Wish #4: To stop being PARANOID--PRANING

Not to be praning anymore----- a wish that would definitely come true. I hurt a lot of people everytime I get praning. Especially YOU. You know who you are. Actually, this post is dedicated to you. I'm wishing it now. I don't want to be praning anymore. I'm getting tired of it. I feel so useless. I know I'm selfish, I think too much, I'm annoying. YOU always say that to me. I'm always like this ever since. And now, I want to change it. I'm not getting better at this. I tried to adjust and control my feelings, but I'm having hard time everytime I do it. Sorry if I cant give you time everytime we fight. Sorry if I always want things to happen according to what I want. I never listened to you. I'm always one-sided. I only believe what I want. I know, I'm always over-reacting. I'm sorry. :(

And now, as I turn eighteen in a couple of days, I want to change myself. I want to be more mature and responsible in every aspect of my life. This time, I would do it in the right way. It's not gonna be that easy but I'll take it one step a time. I'm doing this for myself. Thank you for making me realize my weaknesses. I have lots of it and I'm starting to figure it out. So there, I would really make this wish come true. :)

I'm thinking about, letting it out. I wanna give in, I wanna go out.

Today is my first fitting at Drezee for my party dress. I find it funny because I get to fit first my party dress before my gown. :P Veejay just got my mesurements so I have to wait for at least 3 weeks before my first fitting. Anyway, I'm happy because I got the design that I want. Good Job! From the color of the dress, the design, the materials used, and how they made it, it just look so perfect:) But when I fit it, I'm not that comfortable at first because i find it loose and I can't see any curve. Hahaha. So I told them to adjust it a bit and I will have my next fitting next week. I had a hard time deciding on how long my dress would be. But then, after a long time of thinking and folding my dress, I've decided that it would be better if the length is above the knee because it looks better on me. =)

The only problem that I have now is my shoes and accessories that will blend on my dress. I don't want to accessorize myself too much. I would just buy a nice pair of earrings and probably a simple pair of shoes. :) I only have one month left and I'm realizing now that there are still so many things to do. Gaaah.

The Little Orange Shop

My brother and I met up with Veejay at his shop for him to get my measurements. I'm so excited about this! My game is over and I have no more time to lose weight. :P He told us that one month is enough for him to make my gown. I didn't bother to ask him what my measurements are. I really don't know if I was able to achieve my goal, which is to lose weight. : I've been hearing good comments from my friends that I look slimmer now but I can't seem to notice it everytime I look at myself. =)) Veejay didn't give us a definite time on when will I have my fitting. But he assured us that I will get my gown a week before my debut. So that'll give him 3 weeks to work on it.

The little orange shop---- this is how I describe Veejay's shop. I find it really cute. A little orange door in front and when you enter, fabulous dresses will welcome you. :) Veejay has been so nice to us from the very start. He's very friendly and funny. His designs are simple but classy. I know I made the right choice when I chose him to make my gown. And now, I'm really excited to fit it!! =)

Wish #3: A Michael Jackson and Jackson Five CD =)

JUST CALL MY NAME, AND I'LL BE THERE =)

image from http://www.amiright.com/album-covers/michael-jackson-thriller-parodies/

SO BEAT IT, JUST BEAT IT

I never imagined that I would suddenly become a Michael Jackson fan. Like what I said in my other post, I was really affected by his death. His death scared me to death =)) I can't sleep right away because I'm always thinking that he might just appear in my room. :P

Anyway, I really want to have a collection of his CD for my birthday. I don't have time to buy one so I just included it in my wishlist. :) The songs of Jackson Five are so nice. MJ is so cute when he was young. =) The songs are very inspiring especially the song, I'll be there. I also like the songs You are not alone, Beat It, Rock with you, Ben, Thriller, and Billy Jean by MJ. Over the weekend, I've watched all the tributes given to him by the different artists whether here in the Philippines or in other countries. Jacko is loved by millions of people. So there, I would greatly appreciate if someone would give me this on my birthday. haha. I heard that Jacko's CD's are always out of stock. So if you see one, please grab it for me :)

The countdown begins again :)

SAVE THE DATE. 41 DAYS TO GO.

081509

Here are the things that I'm looking forward to do in the next 2 weeks:

1. Finish the "slum book" that Puy sent me. I need to send it back to him before the end of this week. I still can't think of my motto in life. LOL. :P
2. Clean my wardrobe. =)) I need to do a pre-prod for my debut shoot. I need to arrange what clothes will I be wearing in the shoot. Oh by the way, we've decided that we're gonna have my debut shoot at The Fort. :) The only problem I have is that where in that place will I change clothes? :P *think* *think*
3. Veejay Floresca will get my measurements on Saturday. Appointment is set at 10 am. I hope I look slimmer now compared to the last time he saw me. :)
4. First fitting for my party dress at Drezee. I'm excited to see how the dress looks on me. :P
5. Hopefully, I'll start to give out my invitations this week or next week. I hope Kuya will get it from Wink anytime soon. :)
6. Hmmm. My debut shoot. Hahaha. I don't know what approach Puy will have for me. Hahaha. I'm SHY =(

That's all for now. I can't think anymore. I'll keep you posted if somethings pops out in my mind. :)

And Just Enjoy The Show =)

Puy Talde, the photographer for my debut, sent me an email last night. He sent a file where I'm supposed to answer all the questions there. Its more like a slum book type questionaire. I suddenly remember my grade school days where I'm always excited everytime I get to have a new "autograph" book and I would let all my classmates to answer it =)) I'm not yet done answering it because I'm having a hard time to think of any answer. =)) You'll find out why because I would be sharing here the questions he asked me :P Look at the questions that I'm not answering yet. I really don't know what to answer. LOL :P I find it really funny =))
