Reading Books

July 4, 2012-7:37pm

I've been stuck on this book series for two weeks now and I'm very excited to read the next book-for the fact that I was running (or just skipping to make it really realistic) going back to my classroom.Gee, it's been a time since I wasn't able to read a book, I guess the last series that I was stuck to was Geronimo Stilton. It's quite a book and I really love it. But now, I found a new series to stuck my snout on.

I could still remember the days when I was so stuck with the Harry Potter series when I was a Freshmen. Now that I am a senior, I am reading a series THAT I NEVER THOUGHT OF READING. It was those kind of books that I call "girly girl and so sassy" and I am fully aware that I am NOT that kind of girl. I was like: There's no way I would be reading a book like those. Ha-ha, I don't even know how or why did I read that book. I just grabbed that book and I even remembered myself getting annoyed because I got that kind of book. I read it anyways and I really had a fun time reading it. It was so unexpected. 

It's really great to read books again. You are welcomed to another world, by imaginary people and imaginary places. You better read books if you have time. Remember, read more books than you had before.

You'll never know the fun, excitement and lesson that you'll get from reading it.

People change

July 3, 2012-7:40pm

There could be a lot of factors as to why people change. Yet, we do not have the right to judge them because they had changed. If you want the older them then SEE the older them within themselves. You cannot force them to be who they were.

There could be a lot of factors of how they changed. Maybe it's because of their family, friends, environment,  school, and the list goes on. But one thing's for sure. If they changed, then be who you are. Show them that changing is not a solution, not even an option to solve a problem. Show them that changing is not an excuse if they're being a popular kid. Show them that changing is unnecessary if you consider yourself brave and strong.

But if they changed for the better, be happy for them. But if they changed for the worse, tell them-if you consider yourself a good friend and a comforter to that person. You see, a friend is always there for better or worse, for richer and for poorer and till betrayal breaks you apart BUT reconciliation(and forgiveness) bonds you again.

I myself, for my fifteen years living and approximately, 5 years of being an adolescent, seen myself change to this and change to that. But guess what, I still came back to the old me. I don't know how I did it but I thank my past self for being brave to face the changes that I have to undergo. And I always believed in myself that I could be a better person in my future and be a great friend to everybody.

Remember, change for the BETTER.

A Passionate Love

July 2, 2012-10:03pm

Tonight, when my father arrived from work, he told us that there was a kitten hit-and-run. Remember the kittens from this post? I was kind of shocked because I have to stay, the kittens had stayed at our lawn for a few days and I played with them using a yarn, but I didn't have a direct contact with them, considering the fact that they are stray kittens. Anyway, my father just got two tissues and got the kitten using it's small paw. I didn't actually went closer to the "crime scene" because I know that someway, somehow, it would break my heart, watching a small kitten thrown in the narrow canal with a loud thud and splash of dirty water.

So after a few hours of that incident, I heard a cat meow-ing. I think it's the dead kitten's mom and she's looking for her. Her cries were so dreadful, like who would not be dread-y to find out that your kid is missing? And that it's nowhere to be found (and to the fact that it was thrown in a canal?).

Well, the kitten is worthy that I will dedicate this post to it and to every dead animal in the world-by means of unnatural death, like hit-and-run, skinned to death, and so on and so forth. Every creature in this world has the right to live and be loved. Just like the kitten and her mother. The kitten deserves to be loved by her mom and so is everybody else in this world, not only by their mom but also to every people around him/her.

The kittens-there were 4 of them-that I had seen before was like this one, but thinner and they have a little bit orange furs.

I have lost a lot of kittens, so I think this is post is dedicated to every kitten that I had taken cared of.

(NO future of being a veterinarian.)

A cup of hot milk and a plate of Oreos.

Today is my cardio check up day. I went to the hospital to have my ECG and 2D Echo and other examinations. I was pretty shocked when I found out that my father will be accompanying me throughout my check up, since I’d never had my check-ups with my dad before. Anyway, most of my time when we were there at the hospital was spent on waiting and reading. We waited for a couple of hours for my cardiologist.

Anyway, after a couple of hours, I was back in the car with a little wound I got from the needle shot. After the check up, we drove past a sweetened fried camote and pinaypay store. I really want to take a picture of it kasi unique ang supot. Parang Manila Paper na g-fold and glue lang. So after the merienda bash, we went to this place I’m not familiar with because my dad had a conference there, but he just stayed for  a while then we went home.

After a COUPLE of minutes, we prepared to go then went to Redemptorist Church. It’s Saturday and 6:00 pm and my father is assigned to serve at the Mass, then we met my mom and sister. Before the Mass started, I lighted two candles and said my personal prayers. After the Mass, we had a fast dinner at Chowking. I’m starting to like that restaurant though, hehe. And then we went back to the Hospital and got my results and visited my lola at another hospital.

                                                                                                             

So now, I’m here in our room, feeling sleepy and I still have 4 oreo cookies on then plate and a little hot-turned-cold milk. I should sleep now, I will make my assignments early tomorrow. So keep in touch! J

Meet my lola

June 29, 2012- 11:40 pm

So today, I woke up at nearly 9am but I officially get out of the bed by 10:20 am. I have to go to the hospital to take care of my sick grandmamma. When I woke up, I watered the plants, did some cleaning and watched TV-which lasted for approximately 2 hours, because by the time I looked at my mobile phone, I had two messages, one from my mom and the other from my friend. Me being a family-oriented person, I first checked out my mother’s text, and it said: LING, dapat 12:30 nandito ka na sa ospital. It was the shock of the day, because when I looked at the clock of my phone, it was exactly 12:30-HA! What a coincidence. Then I rushed to the bathroom, got into a casual attire-a dotted blouse and jeans-then rushed outside. I was walking so fast though, I was almost skipping-ALMOST. Anyway, I reached the highway in no time and rode a jeep.

When I arrived at the hospital, I was panting like a wet dog who just came home from a morning walk. I immediately sat down and caught my breath-to avoid another MVP(Mitral Valve Prolapse) attack. Then my mom went out to buy my lola’s meds and I was left in the semi-private room with my lola. She was sleeping so the best that I could do was to read a book.

Anyway, after some more hours, I assisted her-with my mom-to do her necessities. After doing the routine, I let her sleep and I sat beside her, on the bed, and I was rubbing her back and shoulders, while I was reading the book. I could say that there was a kind of a lola-apo bond in that scenario. In the middle of the rubbing, she embraced my knee and I was astonished by her act. I don’t want to let go but my feet was near her nose, so I nudged a bit.

After a few more hours, it was time for me to go(it’s Friday and we have a prayer meeting every Friday). So I went out her room at 7:00 pm and paced as fast as I could going to the CAP Auditorium for our prayer meeting.

You know the feeling that you don’t want to leave someone because you want to take care or at least watch him/her? That’s what I felt when I left her room, I want to stay there for the rest of the night. Natatak sa isipan ko yung rule na: Stick with people who are below 6 years old and above 70 years old. To think na 85 years old na ang lola ko-I don’t want to be unattached from her.

She could be my everything-my inspiration, my love, my grandmother.

To lola Obing gwapa. ;)

To my teachers.

After the Miting De Avanci and the results, the support was out pouring. My goodness, I shake hands with almost every teacher I saw. They were just "Wow, Anallie, congrats! Ang laki ng improvement mo! Congrats!", and I was like: grinning ear to ear while saying "Thank you sir/miss". I just don't know how to put it to words, I am shocked, amazed and thankful of how they responded to what I did. They said they were very proud of me. And every time they said that to me, I was like-whoa. I didn't expect na ganun nila ma appreciate ang speech ko.

My goodness, speechless na ako. Hindi sa paghahambog ha, but REALLY, how can anyone be that silent if ang mga teachers na mismo ang nagsabi sa yo personally that you have improved a lot? I am just so overwhelmed na hindi ko na makimkim sa sarili ko ang nararamdaman ko-chenes, unsa daw? But seriously oyy.

I am so thankful sa experiences ko, sa mga teachers ko, most especially sa mga adviser ko na puros English Teachers sukad(g-sabotan man siguro ni nila baah, jeje): Sir Benedict Omblero, Sir Hazel Nono(RIP, I miss you zoo matsh, super. :''( ), Miss Patricia Gonzales and Sir Nino Miedes. Sa lahat ng teachers na nag appreciate and nag support sa akin, thank you so much, gikan jud na sa kasuluk-sulukan sa akong puso. I don't know kung unsa pa akong ingnon, your support and appreciation was so overwhelming. Thank you so much. :) That speech wouldn't that be amazing kung hindi nila ako naturuan ng maayos. :) chenes, hahahha. Here's some pictures sa LIFE CHANGING ko na speech hahahahah, life changing jud.

lami kaayo i scribble akong face baah, luod ayu. heheeeee

Dear LEGION party.

April 11, 2012. That was the day of our first meeting. I don't know them so well yet. Hindi pa kami masyado close that time. Tapos naglaag agad kami sa abreeza. Dun kasi ang aming meeting place. We decided kung anu-ano ang aming magiging Platform of Governance tapos nagpapicture kami. :))

After that first meeting, hindi ko gina expect na magiging super tight ang aming friendship.

Ang dami kong gustong sabihin, seriously, pero hindi ko alam kung paano simulan, i-explain at tapusin. Whenever I remember them, I can't help but to be teary-eyed. Sa totoo lang talaga. :') I thank them for making the beginning of my senior year super fun. To think that I spent almost my whole summer with them. Preparing LAHAT ng mga pasabog namin for the Miting De Avanci. I don't know if ganito rin ang nararamdaman nila for our party. It's just wonderful. I now know the feeling na "words can't explain how I feel". After my 15 years of existence, ngayon ko lang talaga naintindihan ang phrase na yan.

I hate to think that we have to part ways. Naging super close na kasi kami. And if I get the chance na hindi ko sila pakakawalan, I grab it. (lol, psycho masyado pakinggan noh? hahaha)

Sa totoo lang, malapit na akong umatras sa position na tinakbuhan ko, pero nanjan sila to support me along with the other people who are close to me. It's because "their faith in me was my inspiration", nasabi ko na yan sa speech ko, but I'll say it again. And again. And again. In every opportunity that I'll have. 

Parang imposibleng isipin na gra-graduate na ako this March because I don't want to let go of my High School experience, of my teachers, classmates, friends and everything in UIC. They've been a wonderful and amazing part of my High School life-ay no, THEY are my High School life.

Marami akong gusto ipasalamat sa kanila. Marami rin akong gustong sabihin sa kanila.

Almost kaming lahat hindi gina-expect na maging very successful ang aming Miting De Avanci. But thank you sa lahat nang nag support sa amin. :)

Paid off ang lunch ko na junkfood. Ang pagising ng super early. Ang pagkaubos ng aking pera. Ang cramming. Ang kasaba kai dugay maka uli ug sige'g hawa sa balay. Ang pagdala ug speakers sa school kada adlaw. Ang pag ukay sa mga sanina kai wa nako'y masuot cge'g adto'g skwelahan. Ang pagkapuyat. Ug ang tanan-tanan.

Kahit hindi ako nanalo, happy pa rin ako kasi may nanalo galing sa aming party. :) I mean what I say and I'm very-VERY proud of them. It's a great privilege na nakilala ko sila.

Thank you so much for the great, wonderful, extravagant, unforgettable, amazing, and mka-Shella na experience, Legionnaires. :)) You'll always be in my heart.

Thank you rin pala sa McDo(ang aming major sponsor.), sa calenderia sa labas ng school(sa SINUGLAW na dugay kaayo ma slice, na half nalang akong kan-un kai gutom na kaayo ug sa ilang ice candy na lami kaayo na tag singko.), sa aming mga thalad ug ever supportive na mga CAMPAIGN MANAGERS(lab tamo, as in, super, lab jud tamo.), sa mga friends and family ko, kai ate(na nanjan talaga always to support me and to comfort me), kai kuya(na kahit malayo sya, he still showed his support to me), and to mama and papa(na naka-iyak talaga ako kasi they said they're very proud of me.) and most especially to God, hindi ko ma-imagine ang kalabasan ng aming effort kung wala Siya.

Once a legionnaire, always a legionnaire. I am a legionnaire, therefore, SALAD ko. :))
