Merry Christmas!

Okei... I know it's already a bit late but allow me to still greet you a...

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

I do hope that you and your family really enjoyed yesterday. As for me, I enjoyed the company of my family. We haven't been together that much na rin due to our own businesses so this holiday season is the right time to have a reunion. I really missed my cousins a lot... (.^__^.)
I received my gifts too and they're all soo cute. I really liked them.. A LOT!

Honestly, I'm really happy yesterday..but I got a bit sad just last night.
The reason behind it is a bit funny..but please don't laugh at this confession. Actually I'm pretty sure that a couple of years from now I'll be laughing at this post... or should I say a couple of days?? ... but still please allow me to share it here:

3 months ago, a new neighbor moved in to our compound. They're quite nice... but of course at first I didn't notice that. Actually, I like them and I really planned to be friends with them, meron namang mga ka-same age bracket ako sa kanila.
Actually, I admired one of them...hahaha! I always call him as Chris Tiu...(basketball player of Ateneo Blue Eagles with a jersey # of 17, just in case you don't know him). He looks like him kasi eh. I shared it with my Mom and then when we talk about him we call him under the alias of Chris Tiu. We don't know kasi his real name so alias nalang. And he had a younger brother. I call him naman as Rico Maierhoffer <---(did I get the spelling right?) This Rico naman is a baskteball player of DLSU Green Archers. Imagine, Chris Tiu and Rico Maierhoffer be brothers? They don't look a like isn't it? hehehe... for short, my neighbors are good looking! ..FINALLY! (.^__^.) But I'm into Chris Tiu more.. There's nothing special with this person talaga..there's even no communication between us, not until last Dec. 17, 2007. I was a bit sad back then and then I asked some sign if I have to really stop na from "that something". And then... the rest is history!

Basta...

I'm this kind of person that really don't want some things to be made straight to the point. Especially when it's a bit complicated.
And besides, it's really hard to explain. Kaya nga it's complicated eh. I'll make sign language, perhaps..joke!
So sorry for those who can't relate with this. But for those who had the same experience like this..for sure, we can understand this language of mine. =)

As what I've reflected, It's a missed opportunity, missed chance and, maybe, missed friendship. Now that they've moved to another place, all of my plans was just been torn into pieces..just last night.
It left me shocked at the middle of the night while looking outside in between our curtains as they prepare there stuffs and place it inside that big truck! I didn't cry..just teary! EMO mood.

It's a really odd for me saying these things in here, we haven't even been that close. But I don't know, maybe I just missed them..or him. Partly, he became an answered prayer just after the time when I'm gloomy and had accepted that I have to move on.
I just become contented with just looking every morning at weekends, waiting him to pass by our door as he prepare to go somewhere I don't know...for 3 months.
And there was an opportunity given to me...that night of December 17.

Ooow..I'm just too slow, isn't it? I stayed so silent.
I became so shy again...
thought that "oh, there's a next time pa naman...they'll just be there..they won't go! I have lots of time pa.." I just valued the presence of that person when he's already gone.

I'm just so sad, isn't it? Too obvious.. =(
Too many regrets this past few days. I don't know why.
Maybe I won't forget this day, that person, that family. I do hope our paths will meet again.
" I'll see you..when I see you" that's the perfect phrase to say..

I promise my next post will be something happy naman. Oh, about our Christmas party and our Paskuhan celebration at UST. But still promises are meant to be broken isn't it? I've done it a couple of time already.
I just hope this time, I wont! (.^__^.)

2 days to go and it's Christmas Day!
1 day to go and it's Christmas Eve! (.^__^.)

Oh my, time flies really fast. The last time I've updated my blog was during our 1st simbang gabi mass and then now we've finished the 9th. I actually didn't completed it...it's because of the Paskuhan celebration at UST last December 19. (I'll update about that next time..just refer to my cbox at the right side!) But my Mom completed it..and that's really great...big sacrifice. (.^__^.)
I'm just a bit sad because I wasn't able to complete it again this time. I missed ONLY ONE!! Fr. Dave told us that when we missed one, it's as if Jesus is immature. He compared 9 masses kasi to 9 months to which Jesus is inside the womb of Mary. So as for me, Jesus is quite immature...8 masses = 8 months..huhu.
But it's alright, I hope God will forgive me. I still wished for a wish though. They say that some wishes do come true when you completed the masses. Okei lang naman sa akin even though partly granted lang..hehe! (.^__^.)

So it's the last day of Simbang Gabi...and (sorry for this) but I didn't quite enjoyed it. I know, I'm happy because it's the 9th but I'm not happy because I quite felt exhausted. The mass presider kasi was Fr. Fernando Suarez. This priest is a certified healing priest. Believe me! He did miracles and will still be doing miracles. I've encountered him once during the Recollection last April, i think? OKei, as what I'm saying..he's a healing priest so expect lots of people to come and hear his mass.
Let's see: It's Simbang gabi + it's a Sunday + a healing priest = crowded place and exhaustion. I'm a bid sad because I wasn't able to see the mass.. I was able to hear it nalang. But it's okei, I felt healed naman eh and even though that's the situation the importance of that mass is still present.

After the mass, we already finished our shopping and finally we're done! I've checked and double-checked my Christmas wish list and others Christmas wish list and I'm pretty sure that we've bought all of them na. I'm excited to give their gifts na..and I'm excited to receive gifts na rin. Oh, what would it be?? I just can't wait... (.^__^.)

Familiar faces had been seen, smiles had been given and hearts had been prepared for the coming of Jesus Christ. This is what Simbang gabi is for me. Though I know there's still some people whom I haven't reached out to yet, I would like to say sorry to them. It's hard to say it personally, at least here...I can say it. I hurt others just for being me, but I and others have to accept...this is me, my whole character, my whole being. Honestly, I'd love to go back to what I've left way back but then, I'm afraid that my feelings and others feelings will get hurt again. I expect a lot of things talaga siguro. I know it's wrong, but believe me I only have much expectations to those people which I know are special for me. A new year will come soon and I think I just have to forgive and forget. Forgiving is easy...but forgetting is hard.

Christmas Party for Pre-Com

It's our Christmas Party for Pre-Com Society. It's my first time to enjoy this party even though last time we had a party when I was still a junior officer for this organization. Last time kasi, we're just a junior officer - - - It felt like we don't have the guts pa to enjoy the party together with the executive officers back then. Hindi pa nga kami kasama sa exchange gifts noon eh. And then there's some issues pa that time so I didn't really enjoy that much. We just sit and watched the party last year.

But now that we are the executive officers na..we made the party really enjoyable and welcoming for our staffers and new batch of junior officers. Syempre, we don't want them to feel what we've felt last year. We had some games, lots of foods kasi nagpa-cater kami not like last year na bumili nalang kami ng pancit near UST, and exchange gifts wherein lahat nakasali.
As for my baby, I got Catherine Saw. She's a ju
nior officer and we're a bit close especially noong UAAP season kasi kasama siya sa mga boosters ng Yellow Jackets every cheering time. Syempre, kinukwneto niya sa akin yung about sa games pag hindi ako nakakapanood ng live sa Araneta Coliseum. So we became a bit close. I can't think of any gift for her so I just gave her Cadbury chocolates worth P150.00. She liked it naman..I doubt na hindi niya yun magustuhan...who will say no to chocolates? (.^__^.)

We had games like charades <--- (don't know the right spelling..), newsp
aper dance and a different kind of trip to Jerusalem. Well, I've seen this kind of trip to Jerusalem game but it's not the traditional type. Diba, yung traditional type is that mag-uunahan yung mga guys and girls na umupo sa mga chairs na naka circular position in the middle when the music stops. We made it a bit more exciting...the guys will be seated in the chair and the girls will go around them as the music goes. When the music stops, the girls will hurry to the guys to sit in their laps...haha! It's really funny talaga. Hindi na ako sumali sa kanila...it's not that I don't like that type of game... I'm just one of those officers na acted as referee for the game. I wanted to join talaga..but not that much..hehe!
As for my gift, Alex got me and he gave me a Santa Cap from Blue Magic wit
h Chocolates inside it. It's really cool..fit for Christmas and I like it. I planned to take a picture wearing that cap. Maybe when we go to Global Fun Carnival at MOA this Christmas Vacation. Just refer to my Friendster profile if I've uploaded some pics already.

After the Christm
as Party...it's around 6:00pm na. I'm really in a hurry na kasi I have to go to Megamall pa for the Simbang Gabi. But then when we went out of our building, UST really looks soo good! With all the Christmas decorations...seems like ang sayang mag-picture-picture! So together with my friends Dane, Medalene, Nikko, Scylla and Debbie..we had our group pictures taken. Like these:





Enjoy... (.^__^.)
It's the first day of Simbang Gabi. I'm expecting a lot of things actually. Honestly speaking, I'm looking forward for this. Well, some of my expectations happened and some didn't. What can I do? Some people just choose not to appear..maybe they forget their duties and responsibilities on some things..or maybe they just have their own reasons why such things happen. I can't say it straight to the point..it's just so hard for me.

I just have to move on...past is past.

But still..it's so hard to move on, isnt it? When you're used to such things and then suddenly they just disappear...it's hard to accept. You know that it's there but you can't see or feel it. It's so stupid, crazy...Oh...I don't know!!
Stop this nonsense na nga.

Okei..I'm happy pa rin naman that it's already the start of the Simbang gabi masses. I learned a lot from the homilies of those priests who presides over the mass. They're good priests and they give healthy homilies which I can carry on as I prepare myself to let Jesus enter into my heart especially on Christmas day and this Christmas season. Tonight, Fr. Bong gave a humorous yet full of morals type of homily. It opened my mind into some things which I already forget due to soo much busy-ness at school and of school works.
I think it's already our 5th consecutive simbang gabi masses but I had only completed 3 of it. I hope I can complete it this time. (.^__^.)
It's our last day for our PE in softball and I'm really dead tired today! It's so hot at the field even though you're fully equipped with a hat, arm protector, high socks and gloves...still the heat from the sun almost burned my skin..huhu! And then I didnt function well pa as a player! I can't concentrate kasi that much eh..kakainis talaga. Actually softball is a good sport and a nice game to play..especially when you've got presence of mind. Pero pag wala..lagot na. Actually, kinakabahan pa nga ako kasi baka matamaas ng ball yung face ko or yung head ko. Softball doesn't literally mean na soft yung ball..actually it's so hard. Much harder than the basketball. I'm prone pa naman to those kinds of accidents kaya I have to be careful 100% when at the field.

Christmas vacation is almost near. Wednesday (Dec.19) will be the UST Paskuhan celebration. I'm so excited na talaga. Ang ganda na nga ng university ngayon eh..dami ng Christmas decorations. Saya mag picture-taking. Can't wait talaga...
Plus...simbang gabi masses will start na on Saturday, December 15. I'll be there..I just hope na I can complete all 9 of it. (.^__^.)
It's the first week of advent and a new purple candle has been lighted. Oh! I'm so excited. Christmas is fast approaching. This is my favorite season, actually!
Anyway, I just want to share what the priest had talked about during his homily. Meron kasing part na sinabi siya na why should a person settle for something which you cannot get. I mean, there are some things that's already in front of you and still you look beyond that.
That's true... it's just so hard to wait for something or for "someone" which is obviously won't come. Sometimes, they're already in front of you..but still you choose to ignore it.
