My 2-year-plan two finish college is coming soon

Last year I transferred to my new school. In this school I plan to graduate in two years with flying colors because I will be focused and will be showing off my skills and knowledge to the people. I also plan to learn to follow rules and regulations. I also would like to learn the process of how to be more tactful and be less of bitch.

My 1st semester experience last November to March was great. Because my grades where amazingly higher than ever. I never got those high grades when I was in my previous school. Maybe because of the lack of focus and drive. Moving on, I was very happy with how it all went so well.

That 1st semester was like my trial testing on how I would be able to be in the next two years. I must say, I was a nerd and a loner most of the time but i don't care. I loved the feeling of getting the right benefits for giving my 100 percent in what I love doing.

Bad Karma

Yesterday is my brother's 17th birthday so I was asked to do some shopping and cooking for him. MY sister handed me the money for this whole celebration and put it in my pocket. However, I have to visit my school first to check on my grades for summer classes and get my assessment form if possible. After doing school stuffs under the high heat of the sun I decided to stop by the grocery to buy some goods for the cooking that I need. Apparently, when I was about to pay already the money was no longer in my pocket. Bad Karma.

Shame on me! Flat on my face. I'm glad to accept my bad karma sooner that I expected. I deserve it. After all the drama I made with a small amount of cash with my mom. Thinking about it, its like a bad karma both on me and my brother for being such an ass most of the time. Though we know what good are bad are, we still make wring actions that hurts mom a lot.

Hate myself for being a brat and assuming that I am always the boss. Sometimes I just don't notice it. Anyways, I don't have to say more about it.

I guess I just have to learn how to control myself. Achieving a better attitude would be an accomplishment. But it also takes a lot of practice and patience. So good luck to me.

We can never please everybody

Whatever they think about you just express your thoughts in every way you can. You maybe discreet or maybe not. Just be yourself. If you are confused just say it. Ask questions. If you think you did something wrong, admit it to yourself. If you have offended people of your thoughts, apologize to them but you don't need to take back what offended them. You can never take it back nor bring it up again in the future.
There is a saying: yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, but today is a gift. That is why it is called the "present."   -Oogway, Kung Fu Panda
I'm sorry.
Love you.

About my SS Digitized ID Card, I went to SSS Cubao Branch along EDSA earlier this morning to applt for the new SS ID and the clerk gave me a referral letter to Diliman Branch. I was both happy and sad- happy because I am finally qualified to a new ID and sad because I still have to go to Diliman to actually apply for the new SSS ID. I dont know how to go there by commute so good luck to me.

About my Philhealth Record, I need Kuya Mariel to do this for me. Kaso lang hindi ko alam kung pumapasok p ba sya tlga regularly. I have to check my membership record kung nklagay ba tlga o hindi na may anak n ako. aun lang.

Reality check

I grew up being provided with all the necessary basic needs provided by a one parent only, my mom. I have to say that she really does a great job in her career that is why she was able to provide for the three of us. She was able to do it alone for 15 years now.

My elementary days was quite boring because I don't have much friends then. I also had a very bad experience when I was in grade 3. Until I reached 6th grade, I become the friend of everybody. I became a rebel, a black sheep and very stubborn eldest daughter. I was like almost a tomboy because I was one of the boys and I wear loose clothes all the time because I'm a fatty girl who doesnt know how to wear clothes properly, I don't know why. And then highschool came, more friends and more teen issues.

I cannot blame my mom to be a very hardworking and workaholic. AS we grow, our financial needs increases also. My siblings and I basically grew with our maids at home. All my life, my guardian at home and my mentor was our helper. My mom was always busy so she can provide us will all our daily needs like food, shelter and school stuffs. Thanks! However, we at home are actually experiencing a bad start in life.

I can remember that our helpers were pulling each others hair, shouting and slapping each others face. No one supervises us when we were watching televsion. Our helper brings her friends and boyfriends at home. I also caught our maid sneaking out at night while mom is not yet home and we are 'sleeping'. One of our maids also tauught me to lie to my mom, not to tell mother that our helper was making lakwatsa instead of keeping the house clean. One of our maids also spanks and scolds us very much how I do it with my daughter today. I tried to make sumbong kay mom pero hindi niya naman ako pinansin. Kinampihan pa yung bossy maid at ako pa ang napahiya. All these are my first lessons in life so it stucked in my mind and I think i did it all as well. I quarrel with my brother all the time. I became bossy and spank my siblings if they don't follow my orders.

My siblings and I were practically  living our lives alone during those 'formative years' of our lives. I cannot blame anybody of who I am right now but I would like to apologize to my younger brother. I can see that he learned from me when I was in highschool and I dont think I was a very good example to him.To my younger sister, naawa ako sayo because until now, hindi ma-imagine kung ano ba tlgang gusto mo sa life, you maybe the most goody-good in everybody's eyes among the three of us but what else? To my dad, I still want to have you in my life, I still want to experience the feeling of having a dad. All I remember about you was that you always talk to me and check on me about what I think and how I feel but that was when I was still on my diapers until I reached Grade 1 and then you were gone. To my mom, I cannot blame you for being away from us most of the time. I praise you for your hardwork all these years just to provide for us. We couldnt have what we have right now if not because of all your dedication to your work.

However, every decision we make has a consequence. Whether its good or bad. Think about it.

All these years, whatever I am right now, its not because I purposefully did it all to myself. Nobody does bad things to himself on purpose. Everything has a reason. Try thinking again and look at the other side of the picture. As of the moment, I can say that I just learned all the ways of life alone and the hard way. I am actually thanking Him for making me experience it all, because though I was alone and  still alone understanding life I am now on the way of knowing myself and looking for the right people to mingle with that would lead me to my dreams and goals in life.

I really screwed up - BIG TIME at some point but look now, I'm still learning and will never be perfect too. I can say that there is nothing we can all do about what is wrong with any of us today. we just have to learn how to make it right and that is by: first, knowing what is wrong with you. second, learn how to make it right. third, if it doesnt work just keep on reminding yourself. paulit-ulit lang. If you think you really cannot change what is wrong with you then don't. Just remind yourself about it.

Anger is really an enemy

I admit that I am really scary when I get angry. Thinking about what I have done the moment I was angry makes me scared of myself  too. That is how scary I am.

Now that I am 21, I thought maybe I should learn how to tame myself just like how you control yourself with drinking alcoholic beverages not to get very much tipsy or worst get drunk. As of now, I must say I didn't improve on controlling my temper and anger. I don't know why but now, I can certainly identify what makes me angry or not.

Some people may understand me and some may not, but I don't care anymore. Nobody really tried to understand me why I am like this today. I don't want to blame things on others. Its just the way it is.

I Bought IT 'Coz I Thought You Will Pay Me Later

around 2 pm we went to Los Banos, Laguna so that my mom could vote. After checking her name on the list, it says her account was deactivated. It means she cannot vote. She tried to go to COMELEC to be able to vote but apparentlky, activation of accounts will resume on July of 2010.

Due to the unsuccessful voting of mommy, we decided to go around and visit our house when we were still living in eLBi. It looks so old and haunted after 5 years. We even met our landlord's daughter and son, Jewelyn and Jay-R. Jewelyn now has a 3-year-old boy named Neil.

After visiting our old barangay we headed to UPLB but before that we made a quick stop at Mer-nel's to but some chocolate cake for Bell. However, they were not selling by slices anymore so i bought the whole chocolate cake worth Php140.00. I bought it because I thought everybody would benefit from my money that my mom told me to bring before leaving Cubao.

In UPLB, we viisted CSI our school during elementary and high school days. It has a lot of improvements and I kind of missed being in eLBi. The people was so nice and it feels very cozy.


When we got home, I asked mom if she will pay and she said no, I got mad because that was my last money. She got mad because she never taught I would be so mad at her with a small amount of money. My point here is that, I am trying to save for Bell though I know I really cannot fulfill all her school fees from saving the money that she is giving me.

She also complained that if she needs us in the future she concluded that I will not offer her a single penny. All I can say is, I am now focused on finishing my studies and after be able to support Bell on my own ways so, if she wants my support right away in terms of financial matters, I would say "I dont think so".

No I cannot support you right away with money because I now I have a child who is under my custody.

I am sorry to disappoint you but I think this is what I learned from you being a workaholic.Though you are always the boss in your work area. You are still not an excellent mom because if you are i should have graduated already last March 2009.

I am not looking for kakampi. I am just trying to make myself clear here.

Laptops for SALE!!!

I am selling these laptops:

Because I'm still studying.

Because I'm still studying, the fact that Bell needs to go to school whether I'm done with college or not still exists,   Bell is still my responsibility not my mom's. My problem now is where to get Bell's school fees.

I have to enroll her to a very good school that will make her ready for UPIS next school year. I'm keeping my fingers crossed until she gets into that school. In preparation for my dream school for Bell, I have to enroll her this school year 2010-2011 to a school near our house that is worthy of her time and skills.

Apparently, my mom is already crawling her way to finance me and my two siblings to finish school and I don't think she can still afford to shoulder Bell's needs as well. All our utility bills are soaring high but her wage is not.

I am so praying to God to help me with this thing. I don't know what to do or where to get Bell's needs but I have to work on something. I am now desperately seeking sponsorship for Bell's school fees. My baby is smart for her age and I don't want to waste that. I know any mom would do anything for her child, and I will too but what can I do. I cant push myself to work on something else that I know I have a very limited time only. I also have my own school dilemma going on too so I don't know. I really don't know.

Lord Jesus, please help us. I am seeking your grace to please help us get through this. Amen.

Stella Maris College

One of my things to do this May is to check out the schools around Dalaya for Bell. I am very excited to see my prospect school:
  1. JCSGO Christian Academy
  2. Stella Maris College
  3. Blueridge
  4. Roosvelt
This morning, I went to this school -
Stella Maris College which is a private, Catholic, learning institution run by the Franciscan Missionaries of Mary. It is located in Cubao, Quezon City, Philippines. Established in 1955, it was once a school for girls but now accepts boys in its grade school and high school department.

Because I know that this school was established a long ago, i assume that the teachings here and the environment is very friendly and accommodating to parents who would like to inquire or just check out the school.

However, I was very dismayed to what I experienced sa kanilang lady guard na mukhang boy. I asked the tomboy guard kung san pwedng mg-inquire and she said,I have to bring the requirements needed for enrollment bago mg inqiure. So, Nabadtrip na naman ako, kasi kaya nga ako nagpunta para mg inquire hindi mag enroll! Ayaw ko nmn maging bastos ulit kaya s kanya nalng ako nagtanong dahil ayaw ong masayang ang punta ko. Then after a whille umalis na din ako ng walang napala.

AS i was walking away from the school, naisip ko na sayang lng tlga ung punta ko at hindi nmn ung guard ung ipinunta ko dun. So bumalik ako at humingi ng mga papers na I can read on pag uwi ko. pero ubos n daw. Pati listahan ng tuiton naubos na. tlgang nagalit n naman ang laman laman ko. Nghintay pa ako ng matgal para lng sa wala. Isa p nmn un sa mmga pinaka-ayaw ko.
This time, umalis na talaga ako but befoe I made my exit, tinanong ko muna ung name ng tomboy guard. sabi nya, "veronica"...

kakaloka siya, ang ganda p nmn ng name niya. Pinainit niya lang ang ulo. After i made my exit tumwag ako sa telephone number na nkita sa table ng guard. Sinumbong ko sya dun sa Ms. MEl na nakausap ko.

Super turn-off. Ayaw papasukin ang mga magulang n mgiinquire. Dalhan ko sila ng bomba! nakakabwisit. Hay naku, tintest nnmn ang patience ko. Kainis. Napaiyak pa ako sa galit kanina sa phone habnag kausap ko ung Ms. MEl.

To you ms. VEronica ng Stella Maris, Ayusin mo trabaho mo! Hindi ka lng bsta guard dyan! Ikaw ang unang tingin sa skul na binabantayan mo! Ganache ka!

May 9, 2010 is Mother's Day

I saw an ad about MOther's Day sa Manila Bulletin last Sunday, April 25, 2010. It was a contest in honor of our beloved mother for the coming MOther's Day. The first one was "Looking like MOm" and the other is "Wonder Wo-MOm".

I wanted to join so I checked on some of my recent pictures with Bell that I think we look a like. I even made a poll question sa Facebook, asking if magkamukha ba tlga kmi ni Bell. THe result says 100 percent yes so, it kind of encouraged me more to join. THey will be choosing 3 winners and the pictures will be published on May 9, 2010 sa Manila BUIlletin. The winning entries will also receive a Mothers day package.

On the other hand, the 2nd contest was about why do you think you have a wonder wo-mom. The entry sender should be one of the children of the mother. You have to send an essay explaining why you have a wonder wo-mom and attach a picture of your mom as well. I know for myself that I am not so good on writing so I assigned my sister to make the essay entry and I will put her name as the entry sender. They will choose only one winner for this and will get a mothers day package as a prize.

Deadline for submission of entries is on May 6, 2010 at 5pm.

I have selected the pictures that I will send the day after I read the article. My sister who is assigned to do the 100 word essay finished it just yesterday, May 4, 2010. It was a long wait for me but I kept on reminding her about that. I wanted to win kasi para gift nmin un kay mom. But when I was at the POst office, sabi after two days pa mkkkarating ung mail nmin dun kahit na sa Intramuros lng naman ung destination. So May 7 na un.

Naubos bigla ung energy ko sa sinabi ni ate sa Psot Office but still i mailed it, kasi natatakan na daw. I paid the mail and walked home na lang. Sobrang nkakalungkot ung sinabi ni Ate.

If only my damn super relaxed sister finished it on time, hindi siguro nasyang ang effort ko! pinaframe ko nlng sna ung mg pictures n pinadala ko.

Super nkakainis. Hay naku. Kahit anong sbhin ko nmn sa kanya napakabagal nya tlga kumilos at hindi nya alam ung word na 'deadline' at 'hurry'.

I just wish madiscover n nya nag gusto nya tlgang mangyari sa kanya. Dahil sa lhat n lng ng bagay wala syang care, at nkakaperwisyo na sya.

Damn it. galit na galit tlga ako.

HAppy MOther's Day to me and to mom!

Upadates on Things to Do

I have 2 things to add:
  1. Get an eyeglass
  2. Visit a dentist
There. My grade daw ung eyes ko and the optometrist, i assume, sais that my lenses should be multicoated. Though i am not sure what it means, I was kind of both excited and nervous for the fact that I have to wear eyeglasses nah. I dont know if I will be able to practice wearing it regularly but I know I should. I was also shocked at the prices of the eyeglasses that I tried on. Price ranges from 5k and up excluding the lenses. I dont know why it costs too much just for a thing to put on your in front of your face. Some people may actually just wear them as part of fashion but some also wears them as a necessity and makes them part of their daily wardrobe basics.

So, since it will be my first time, I think I will be wearing them as both necessity and fashion accessory that is why I have to choose very wisely and nicely on my looks and face.

I have three options of frames that really looks good on my face. My only problem is that I dont know what to choose because I can only buy one for myself (I am not a rich kid who can have everything I want to). My options were:
  1. Max Studio Whhite rimmed with color black
  2. Pepe Jeans Black and Pink with etch on the side
  3. Lulu Guinness horn rimmed glasses na black, parang cats eye look
wala lang akong pictures.

About my teeth, my mom said they are now impacted. Whatever it is, I just dont like it. I dont like my teeth scattered around inside my mouth. medyo nkakabawas sa self esteem. Kaya dun sa mga taong nahihioya sa teeth nila, I feel for you guys..hehe
