New Room for Myself:)

Hi!!!


It's been a while since I last wrote a blog. I kind of miss my site :)


I changed my blog song to Pure - guitar. I really like this song. And I'm plannin' on learning it so I could post it in YouTube or somewhere. :) Because my guitar just rose from the dead. Hahha. Back in 4th year high school, I had a classmate who was such a music enthusiast. He would play the guitar and the beat box if he had the chances to. One day, I brought my guitar to school. People borrowed it and I let them because that was why I brought it in the first place. Since I'm not really that good in playing the guitar. Anyways.... Once they've started playing, I would watch them and learn a little bit from what they've played. Normally, I make them repeat the piece and even ask them to name the notes they are using. That music enthusiast / classmate of mine borrowed the guitar and for some reason, he accidentally cut the string. I was a bit panicky 'cause I thought guitar strings were costly. I made him promise that he would buy a replacement for it. So he promised. But he never bought it. Seriously. xD But I'm not angry though. I find it funny now. :)))

So in order to make my guitar functional once again, I bought guitar strings today. It didn't cost much. Just around P10 - P20. My friends accompanied me and afterwards it turned out that I treated them at Elena's. It was okay, just that I had to postpone my first day of saving. Hm. Sooooo petty ava. Okay, I'll stop thinking of money. Lol.


:)))


Hm. I organized my things today since I moved to my new and own room! :D


It's still under renovation though since the final polishing hasn't been made. I put my laptop first, my new alarm clock, the snow globe my friend Ivy Casilan bought for me on Christmas last year, a piggy bank for my saving plan and a beautiful flower vase which my mom suggested that I place on top of my desk. I also brought into the room all the books and magazines that I love and also those that I haven't read yet. Also, I finished it off by placing my RD planner on top of my All-purpose notebook. Whew! That sure was a lengthy explanation. xD



It's already 11:40 PM and I think I'm a bit sleepy. =______=
So.. shall I go then? :)

Bye! Good night! See you next time!
Please anticipate my guitar cover for Pure. :)




One minute, you meet a stranger. The next, he's the center of your life. :)

Let's start this day with a smile. :D

Happy 2012~!

Happy New Yearrr!! :DDD

x]

Today, me and my family have a lot of things planned. 

1. Go to church.

2. Badminton Rep with Sis.

3. Piano Lessons. I started learning again last Dec 30. I was so inspired by Adele's song, Someone Like You and somehow, I want to be able to play it in front of a crowd in the future. :D I wiiiiiish! x]

4. Natl Book Store for year-long planners. Somehow I like the thought of having a planner. It makes me think of the many things that I want to do and some times, I think it's helping me manage my time. :) Yes, there are a  lot of impossible things in my planner but just thinking about them gives me a lot of good vibes. :D

5. Picture-taking. Pop received a digicam as a gift from sis. I've become so addicted to it. :))) Hm. But we really need to do this since we haven't taken a family pic for so long already. :]

Hm. Welllll, that is all for this morning. Sis wants to watch a movie. (The Art of Getting By)

The chances of meeting each other is close to impossible, but it wouldn’t hurt to walk around the streets few more times.

Piano Self-Learning on a Rainy Day

I woke up today feeling depressed. But I decided to change my mood by eating my breakfast and preoccupying my mind with different things.


Sis already arrived home by 11 AM. And it was that time when I visited my blog. I was in the mood for music so I searched for the music sheet of Adele's Someone Like You. Hm. I'm still horrible at it. I uploaded the file here. Yea, I suck at it. Hahha. :]]


For now, this is one of those songs which I can relate to.
P.S. the video didn't cover all of the song, just the first part of it.


:]

# Rainy Rizal Day.

RDASIA Contest Entry :)

Hey there! :D


I just submitted a 500-word article to Reader's Digest ASIA. It's an entry to their contest and I think my article will be posted there tomorrow. Lucky! :D

Here is the article I wrote on a haste to fight off my laziness. Hahha. :)

3 Things I'm Thankful for this Christmas:

It has been quite a long year for me and my family this year. A lot has happened and I have experienced things which I didn't expect to experience in my 16 years of age. Though it might have been a tough year, I am thankful that I was able to go through it and that I am able to smile now. Picking three things that I am most thankful for turned out to be kind of a hard job because there are just a lot of things I'm thankful for that I can't choose. Fortunately, I was still able to come up with the three things I am most thankful for.

Firstly, I thank God for giving me a very beautiful family who, amidst all trials, has always stayed as one, never leaving each other. I know a lot of people who have broken families and whenever I try to put myself into their shoes, I kind of feel the kind of suffering they are feeling. Therefore, no matter how many times me and my siblings fight over some really trivial and childish things, I am still very thankful. I thank God that I, at least, have some siblings who I can fight with every day.

Secondly, I am very thankful for having a lot of friends whom I can spend a lot of my vacant hours with at school. Whenever I feel lonely or just out of it, I, at least, have someone who I can talk it over with. They are also very funny and it's weird because I just find myself laughing out loud when I am with them. At first, all we would talk about are just crazy stuffs, but as time passed by, I felt that our bonds have gotten stronger. We were all able to open up little by little. I am thankful that I have people who are concerned for me and whom I can be concerned with. People - whom I can talk about my troubles, things that surprise me, my love problems and people whom I can make happy and sad memories with. Though there might be misunderstandings amongst us in the future, I hope that we would all be able to understand each and everyone's complex feelings.

Lastly, I am very thankful that I am gifted with a lot of abilities by God. Thankful also because I didn't have any serious handicaps and that I have a healthy body.

Though I still have a lot of things that I am thankful for, I just may have to stop here since I just have to write three. Besides, I am writing this now amidst of a very tight schedule. :P To end, I have a phrase to share. "When I'm worried and I can't sleep, I count my blessings, instead of sheep. Then I fall asleep, counting my blessings." Have a Happy New Year! :D

I know plenty of people with eyes closed. They don't see you like I do.

10 Ways to Love According to the Bible

1. Listen without interrupting  

(Proverb 18)

2. Speak without accusing.

(James 1:19)

Know this, my beloved brothers: let every person be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger

3. Give without sparing.

(Proverb 21:26)

All day long he craves for more, but the righteous give without sparing.

4. Pray without ceasing.

(Colossians 1:9)

For this reason, since the day we heard about you, we have not stopped praying for you. We continually ask God to fill you with the knowledge of his will through all the wisdom and understanding that the Spirit gives.

5. Answer without arguing 

(Proverb 17:1)

Better a dry crust with peace and quiet than a house full of feasting, with strife.

6. Share without pretending

(Ephesians 4:15)

Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will grow to become in every respect the mature body of him who is the head, that is, Christ.

7. Enjoy without complaint.

Do everything without grumbling or arguing

8. Trust without wavering.

it always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres

9. Forgive without punishing.

(Colossians 3:13)

Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.

10. Promise without forgetting

(Proverbs 13:12)

Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a longing fulfilled is a tree of life

Happy hippy morning! :D


Sis bought me a really reallllyy nice pair of gym wear. I love it and I feel like I wanna have PE as my major. Hahhah. Kiddin.. I was so tired that's why I slept in 'till 10:00 am. It doesn't feel good at all, sleeping for long. The humidity of my room was what awakened me.



I don't really have plans for today. Maybe I'll go to a bookstore to buy a book and some school supplies. Maybe I'll watch a movie. Maybe I'll accompany my bro to a spa. Maybe I'll accompany Sis to her dance practice. Maybeeeeee- Haha. Full of maybe's. :))))



:]



This is the last day of my long vacation.
Hm. I'm gonna go back to the list of what I wanted to do and see if I have accomplished something.


Let's wait for today's evening post! :D
Banzzaaaiii!!!

Viola.

Today was the most enjoyable and NOT BORING day I've ever had this entire month. Haha.
I learned about a lot of things, PLUS! I spent a lot of time with my family doin' reasonably useful things. :D


I'm so happyyy~~~

:]



I went out with Sis and Mop and Bro to my grandfather's memorial bed. Given our very "dynamic" personalities, it was a big challenge, getting us in there without having to beat ourselves up. Haha. We managed and everyone was miraculously in a good mood that I couldn't just believe it. We spent a few hours there just recalling things about grandpop. We also prayed and before going home, me and bro felt the urge to buy some food. I bought an ice scramble and bro bought a drink. Not to mention how feminine she, I mean, he was while we were climbing up and down the other people's memorial beds. Haha. :)

I met my elementary classmates there too! Maria Theresa Indic and Joanna was there, if I recall their names correctly. I also saw some UPians and also some Leyteans. I also met some relatives and one face I can't ever forget was that of Uncle Eddie P. :) He had the warmest smile of all the other people there! His smile is jusrt wonderful. Yknw, the kind of smile that makes you want to smile too. Dignified, I guess?


Afterwards, we went to my sis' ballroom teach. While she was arranging for when they would meet and have the dance classes, I went out for a small trip by myself. I saw a very beautiful church near where Mop and I and Sis sat. I was very enthralled to it that I just laid down all my belongings to Mop's lap and walked to there. I was having second thoughts whether I should go or not but I figured since I was already there, I should just go. I entered the gate and walked towards the church while marveling at the beautiful site of the church and savoring the sweet scent of Tolosa's fresh air. On my right, I saw two kids playing by the meadow and on my left, I saw a man cleaning Mother Mary's sculpture. I was thinking maybe I should go to the kids or to the man but decided to just go straight to the church. I peeked inside the church and didn't see anyone at first glance. I draw nearer and saw some very wonderful things inside the church. Fascinated, I looked more into the church and just as I was goin' to get inside, I heard a melody coming from the church's altar. I took a glance and saw a boy in a white robe singing. I looked and he also noticed me. Feeling guilty that I had trespassed, I glanced the other way and walked farther from the door. I was goin' to get another peek and decided to go to the other entrance but saw a group of youngsters enjoying themselves. They saw me too, probably because of my footsteps, and took a good look at me. I knew because they stopped laughing and just looked at me, figuring what I would do next. I got jealous because I was alone and they  were havin' fun since they were a lot and so I just turned around and acted like I lost interest and all. I was havin' second thoughts by this time, though, so my walking pace was very slow. After a while, I decided it'd be weirder if I just go back there and say, "Hey! Let's be friends!" and stuff so I just went back to Mop and Sis.



We decided to go home after that. :)


At home, we all watched a movie since it was raining, and we thought a movie and rain would be just great. The movie made me think about a lot of things. Such as: Anastasia of the Romanov Family, William Shakespeare, his love life, the Jews and Hitler. I learned a lot though, I actually skipped my daily tutoring. Oooops! I'm not a good teacher at all. Haha.



Hm. That's all for tonight! :)





William Shakespeare, let me be your Viola.
