Teenage Life

Lately, I've hooked up on fashion or anything about it. Maybe because of the hormones or something like that. Maybe it's part of growing up, you start loving the things you didn't care about when you were little. Now, I dress up because I want to EXPRESS and not to IMPRESS.

And so, I saw these pictures in Tumblr and want to show you guys :)

(not in order)

*This get-up is like OMG. Especially with the Keds* 

 *This dress. WHOT. Wishing I have this in my closet*

 *The shoes! Plus with that skirt, WOAH! Btw, that skirt is the trend these days*

*I could see myself with this dress. Could someone buy this for me :)* 

Those are just some pictures from a hundred in my folder. Could someone buy me like some of these? Haha! A girl can dream ;)

I'm BAAAACK, Baby! :D

So yeah, for what seems like a hundred years later, I finally updated my blog again. I promise to update my blog as often as I could if I have time. So expect your timelines to be flooded by my posts today.


HOORAY FOR TODAY! :D

New Idea :">

This afternoon, I was riding the jeepney when a person with "special abilities" came running down the street trying to catch the jeepney with two old people and that was the moment that hit me...
They're probably from Cebu because the way they speak is like the way my grandmother sometimes speaks to me because she is from Cebu. Cebuano if you may call it. I just stole a few glances here an there because I know it's rude to stare at him. I was touched because of how he acts around other people. They're still people, too! I don't get it why people tease them. It's just plain rude. Yes, they are "mentally challenged" but it is not the reason why people need to put them down. When it was time for them to go down the jeepney, he said "sa lugar" in a very cute way. It was a moment to be cherished..

(I know it was just a short post but I just want to tell people who read this about people like them :) )

Don't Stop Us Now ;)

Where shall I even start? How about the part where things get interesting? Yeah, that part!

Make-up? Check!

Costume? Check!

Hair Extension? It hurts but CHECK!

The E-Beths are ready to hit that stage! We were third to perform in the CAE Playfest which was a disadvantage because people might be too sleepy to watch us. It did not overpower us. We stayed positive. When St. Catherine was done, all I  could think was "Oh my God! Oh my God!". I felt like going to the toilet! I calmed myself by dancing (LOL!). Dancing like swaying from side to side. Once I was in the stage, there was still fear but I just told myself to just enjoy every moment and cherish it. So I did! What felt like 10 years, our play ended. I felt proud of myself and my section. What surprised us all was when they announced the winners when we just arrived at the front door of the St. Anne's Hall and some of us we were just getting out of the backstage. It was so quick! It hurt us all because it was like they did not even count us in. It devastated us all. We told ourselves that we should do better in our CAF Play.

It was the day the E-Beths were waiting for, the day of our CAF Play. We tried to not go back to the classroom because it was said to be "bad luck". Before we left the classroom, we made sure everything is ready. We helped each other in bringing the props. It was 1:00 in the afternoon and again, we were tensed, more tensed than the CAE play because we want to try our best to rise up from our downfall. Everything seemed to be in good shape. I mean EVERYTHING. Every time the audience reacts, we were happy because it was one of the criteria: Audience Impact. Our goal was to make the audience cry and it happened! Thank God! In the end, we won as the BEST PLAY for the second year!!! Tears of joy ran down my cheeks. It felt good winning at least one play.

I did not win as an individual but the group awards were much more important (for me) than the individual awards because it shows the group's unity.

WIN TOGETHER, LEARN TOGETHER. E-BETH FOREVER! =D

TDR.. What can go wrong?

Yeah, what can possibly go wrong? LOTS OF THINGS! o_O Terrified to my bones, I had sleepless nights before both our CAE and CAF TDR.

CAE
"The King and I" or you may also call it "Anna and the King". That's the title of our CAE play. What's my role? Well, not to brag or anything but I am Tuptim, the servant girl whom the prince fell in love with. Can my life get any easier? YEAH, RIGHT! The nights before the TDR, I cannot sleep well. Tossing and Turning until midnight. Eventually, I slept because I listened to music which was the only thing that can calm me at that moment. The next morning, I woke up with mixed emotions. I was panicking because I have not prepared yet my costume and things needed to bring. When I got to school, I kept on rechecking  my costume if it was still there (paranoid much?!). Until I realized the TIME! Time flew so fast. One moment it was just 7:30 then the next it was 10:00! See! My life kept on getting better and better (sarcastic)! Then, it was 12:00 which means...PREVIEW TIME! I appreciated so much the presence and patience of our manangs in the fourth year. So touched :') Anyway, we entered the SAH by 2:00 when it should be 1:00 (Pinoy habit). Well, since then, it went smoothly! I never have imagined it like that. WOAH!

CAF
"I got this all in the bag! I've been here and I know the feeling" Feeling so confident right? Well, yes of course. The CAE TDR was an almost success and since I felt how it feels during a TDR, I would be more confident in the CAF. I was acting all cool in school that morning of the CAF TDR. When that afternoon came, it was our turn and so I helped prepare. When the lights were off, it was our queue that it's "SHOWTIME" and that was were the disaster kept coming in. We forgot our lines. Which way to enter and exit. Oh my! It was like Bagyong Frank all over again. Costumes were flying because we had little time to change into our next outfit. The Lights were not in time. There were so much hullabaloo. Yet, we just laughed it out. Nothing too serious. No surprise, the critique did not like it and so we had to almost half of the script but it is okay =))

Lesson learned from the two TDRs:
"Don't take everything too serious. Life's too short so make every second count"
....or.....
"Take every criticism, constructive and not destructive"

Leaving on an Airplane

I'm Leaving on an Airplane to.... CEBU CITY! The Queen City of the South :)

It was about 2 years ago when we went to Cebu. It was the Holy Week when we stayed at my uncle's resort in Talisay. I had a blast!!! The world was partying when I had the time of my life! No, I did not go to the Casino but I did go to SM Cebu which was pretty big! I mean, awesomely HUMONGOUS. Back to the resort, there were like  10 of us and we had to share two rooms but the rooms were kinda big and it was enough. We were able to visit a beach/resort that was very popular but I forgot the name! (sorry no pictures for that)

There came a day when we had my uncle's resort for ourselves! I think it was the Thursday and Friday in the Holy Week. We swam and swam. We laughed 'til our stomachs ached. We ate "quek-quek". It's an egg covered all over with "harina" but I don't know why it's colored orange :) We stayed there for about 6 days and I slept like a baby each day I was there =)

Even though I have been visiting Cebu since I was a toddler, it never fails to mesmerize me with it's beauty and cultures.

Best Friend Forever

This is MARJA ESPERANCILLA. My bestfriend since forever! We share memories (bad or good) with each other. I don't get jealous of her because she has the gift of drawing while I don't! As long as she's happy with drawing, I will support her all the way.We miss our other friend, REEZA PAYOS, who went to Manila to study.

Marja's real name is Jann Martine Esperancilla but we call her Marjae, Marj or Marjastina :) She's not only beautiful and a great artist but she is also someone whom you could trust. She's very down-to-earth. She's a joker (she doesn't even know it). I love her so much. She's also smart and the type of person who doesn't easily give up. She's an inquisitive girl. Because of me, she learned to have fun :))

This year tested our friendship because this is the only year we are not in the same section. She is in St. Anne while I'm in St. Elizabeth. But still, we broke those barriers and continued our friendship. Yeah, you don't see us hanging out during recess but still, we are BFFs ;)
