The Cheesy Note.

This is such a funny stuff I wrote on my iTouch's Application: Awesome Note. Wrote this on 6th of July @ 19:44. What I could only remember was, I am thinking about those things about me. I just dont know but here it goes..

''I promise to love you everyday of forever baby.

I could be one of the hardest girls to be dealing with. I am quite of a paranoid. I'm fragile, breakable like a glass. Just annoying like a gay-you-hate. I'm stubborn like a rebel. A kiddo who enjoys everything at hand. Someone who hurdles hassle. So not Ms. Smartypants. I am not a classic or an uptown lass with poise.

I don't walk with my legs sketching some eights. My hair is a sort of frizzy. Im never good on aesthetics. My height is fun-size. Actually outdated on whose the famous wenches in Hollywood or wheresoever. Unaware of the whole barbie thingummy.

My body is quite far from an 8 oz bottle of cola. I am not a hot-shot chick that every guy in town will adore.

A self confessed kid by heart. But a fighter in my own world.

I love with the way I know and I can.

I am just perfectly imperfect. And I have the courage to be me.

I'm unconditionally inlove with Patten.
:-) ''

---------SO YEAH! Wrote those. Funny though :-))

Enigma.

This Compaq baby was given to me by my Aunt. An old model of Compaq. But i super love this not-so-old Compaq.

 

By the way, Meet my ever-so-beautiful, LALA!

Hey Grandmom!

We all miss you loads. I miss you everyday, Lala.

LALA (That's what we call her. That stands for LOLA/Grandmother)

Look at her picture. Taken when she was 16, 17, 18. Wah! I am really confused. Engraved at her tomb was 'A mother like ours is a memory. She is a living presence' I tagged this photo to my relatives who of course knew my Lala. They were all happy to have seen this and the say: 

My Tita Nenet sent me a message at Facebook saying:

''u made my day pleasant by giving me d pic of inay...i really miss the times that she was here in my life...she is an enigma "

WE LOVE YOU, LALA.

Inspired by the people she inspires.

Never get tired of doing little things for others. Sometimes those little things occupy the biggest part of their hearts.

I believe everyone carries a good heart. Some are just too afraid of showing that they have one. I am a fan of people who do things to make others really happy. It is never easy to do such things. You'll never know if they'd be happy on what you'd be doing for them. But as I have said, everyone carries a good heart. Everyone appreciates a thing you do maybe some appreciates it in silence.

....When I was still in service, I was so inspired by my leaders. I wholeheartedly did things (big things, little things) for others. And that I must say, is a Simple Joy of mine. Not to enumerate the things I did. But, I didn't just do those things because I wanted to impress my leaders, coordinators, classmates, whoever. I did those because I loved to. My heart is at its best when I am able to make others happy. I know I have inspired some in my own little ways. And I super want to share this message from Justine Ilagan. 

 " Happy birthday Bakats! I super miss youuu! :(( Attend ka RYC. Please. I love you. thankyou for everything. Sobrang naging Ate na kita. Too bad, hindi na tyo nagkakaupdate ngayun. huhuhu. Hindi mo alam, pero you became my inspiration, in serving KFC. Hehe. Swear, kaya ako nahilig sa bata dahil syo. Nakita ko yung passion mo :)
I hope we can bond sometime. Mwah! :* "

Justine or as I call her BAKS, she is one of the most beautiful ladies on earth. Inside and out, she's an angel. I miss her and our bonding. She's a leader. And I'm glad that I'm a part of what she is today.

Ahh.. THOSE were the days. Highschool letters are still with me. I've been keeping my highschool letters for so many years now.I take time to read those HS letters atleast yearly.  Dont get me wrong. Hindi ako nagmamayabang kailanman. Cos I'm not that kind. I just super appreciate those people that I know I have inspired from the past years. And I will never regret having done those things for them.

Few lines: Super random lang ng pagkuha ng letters. People from my Highschool life

'Meann thank you dahil lagi kang anjan sa oras ng problema. Salamat talaga' -Abegail Fornal

'I just wanted you to know that I'm really really thankful to have you in my life, hehe. Ang dami naitutulong at natulong saken.' -Angelica Manalo

'Just continue doing good things' - Carlo Maglinao

'Pinakagusto kong part ng kwento nian tungkol sa YFC. Kaya naga gustong gusto ko mag-YFC' -Rhona Mllave

'Salamat nga pala for all the things you've done to me' -Jaycel (aww. SI Jaycel, she was 1st and 2nd yr classmate. She's shy and smart. and I will always remember her.. She was like a Nomad noon e. But I'm glad people have seen her real side )

'Thanks a napapasayah moh kami palagi' -Jeanine Corpus

'Nakakilala ako ng 1 kaibigan na makakaramay' -Michelle Bautista

'Swerte ko nga kse pinakilala ka ni God sakin..and that's one of the reasons kung bakit ko naeenjoy ang highschool lfe' -Charmaine Manalo (I miss u, Betch :-( )

'Ikaw ung laging nagpapalakas ng loob ko sa twing may problema ako' -Dianne Abu (awwwww.*teary eyed)

'Salamat at dahil minsan naging masaya ako dahil sayo' -BJ Corto

'Tnx kasi di mo ko iniwan' -Kim Pagcaliwangan

AWW! Enough, Randomly selected the letters. There are tons of it. And the letters from the people mentioned above were the first ones I got. Very heart-rending. It feels good. Looking back, I would never regret having done things may it be or little for you guys. Such simple but poignant lines from good people. Sigh.

When I was in highschool, since I was the Class Leader, I am responsible for their actions in class. But it really didnt go that way. I never wanted people to fear me or whatever, I wanted to be a friend who inspires and someone to be with in a roller-coaster ride.

When I was  a Sector Leader of EAST B Batangas, (Sector Leader: Meaning I handle the cities from Lipa-Sto.Tomas), I learnt the thing called Passion. And that is how I inspired the people I got to be with during those times, passion is the word.

Seriously? My classmates today do not know my story. And this my Chronicle of being a leader, a friend, an Ate to tons of kids years ago.

......Maybe. I may no longer be a class leader, nor a Sector Ate in KFC. But the heart that I had when I was still an inspiration to others and inspired by others, it will forever be with me.

.. I dont need to be someone who leads just to do things for others. I am basically myself now, no more President, Vice President, 4th yr Odyssey Representative, Sector Kids Ate accompanied in my name. Just Mary Ann Munoz. No one and nothing can ever stop me from doing little things for others. Just As long as I wanted to.


:-)   THIS IS A VERY TEAR JERKING BLOG.

Healed.

A visit will not hurt, isnt it?

As I move on with my life, I carry with me the lessons I've learnt in the past. I made a lot of decisions, which hurt me so bad. I've mentioned on some of my blogs that I used to be a leader at this certain community called by God. It's been a year when I decided to go on a lie-low mode. And I have always wanted to visit the community. I knew deep within me, I am missing a part of me. A part of me, just being there.

......October 23-24 2010. Marks the day of the Regional Youth COnference and it just so happened that it'll be held in Lasalle Lipa. One and a half weeks before that, I was convinced by a former partner and a good sister of mine to attend it. So I thought of I must give it a try. It wouldnt hurt anyway. So I made it as a part of my birthday wish-list.

5days before the said conference, I was so excited. Excited to see the people I missed, so I've perceived the conference as days with loads of hugs and kisses to share plus the day that i'll be raising my hands up high. Excitement was covering me.

I welcomed the 23rd of October with a huge smile on my face. Went to La Salle by past 10. As soon as I got in the registration I saw some good friends. Hi and Hellos. And I looked immediately for Justine! Ran onto her, I was so giggly. Hugged her tight.

....................Was able to witness the usual conference happenings.
.....................I helped with decorating the Batangas' booth. Oh, you'll love the aroma of coffee. Great job, Ikisse!
..................Helped Justine and Kristine with some stuff.
...................Had a fun time with Fonzo.

The most awaited part of the conference came. The night wherein there will be talks to be delivered, sharers that will inspire. Fonso and I were helping Kristine and Justine since they'd be models of the GREENeration. Fonzo &I went on the field cos we reall wanted to participate in the worship and we're just in time.

I know it's another chance of being there. And I never want to waste that chance. I told Fonso this 'Ahh, namiss ko to'. Being high for the Lord. Not just you, you're in a field with a number of youths praising the Lord, jumping and raising their hands so high, I MISSED IT! I was so moved by the songs we sang, I felt like crying cos I know I super miss being there. Ahhhhhhh. LOVE IT. The sessions started. The sessions were delivered well. One thing that from that night that I instilled and will always remember is what the speaker said:

.........Fonzo asked me why did I make a decision of letting go of what I love most--serving. and with full honesty. I told him my reasons. Which I have mentioned from my blog.

Ahhhhhhh. THANK YOU LORD!  All along, I was too occupied by the thought of i'd be having a good time with friend I missed, but I was absolutely wrong. I realized that, it was a time again for me to have that 'time' with Him. It was the time for me to forgive myself. I've been so hard on myself. So I had this sign from Him that it's about time to forgive myself. And inch by inch, I am able to do it. I know i will always get through with life's troubles. Thank you Lord for that opportunity.

'I believe You're my Healer.'

UNSEEN: If others would just know.

I'm a total bummer today, tomorrow and the day aftre tomorrow. So I was thinking of something to blog about since I've been blog-spot dead for a couple of weeks. First thing that I thought of was something to say about my current relationship.

A friend told me that, she thought that my relationship with Patten was pure fun and enjoyment, no hassles no struggles. I laughed. Hearing that kind of stuff was okay. If people only know our relationship's struggles, I bet they'd be absolutely shocked, technically disappointed, and literally speechless. If only people would know.

Yes, we get along with our 'close friends'. Yes, our closest friends know when we're struggling. Yes, we share kick ass times with the people so close to us. Yes, we're funny, sometimes hilarious, matured-but-immature,  etcetera. But we're still a private couple. We really are. The toughest times of our relationship shook us, tore us, broke us, made us less a person, but........made us literally stronger and way better. We are still young and learning. We win, we lose. But our relationship isn't just like that, it's all about gaining and learning. You win, you gain. You lose, you learn.

What would a relationship be if all in it will be pure fun and enjoyment? The answer: It'll definitely be Boring.

Two months ago, we had the time to reflect on somethings we needed to reflect on. Our relationship needed a space. Blah blah. Soon enough, we fixed the things that  have been left broken for years. Couldnt be any happier. I'm glad we started as friends. I'm glad the 7 years of friendship contributes a lot to our relationship's foundation. I'm glad and proud that I am his girlfriend for almost 3 years.
 

TRUE STRENGTH will keep everything together. Everything.

Patten and I: We're clowns on our own. We're annoying bummers. We're not a hot-shot couple. We get unfocused. We are not-so-miserable. We may commit mistakes. We share harebrained stuffs. We have numbers of differences.

.......But we have a loving heart. We enjoy and thank God for what we have. We're passionate. We teach each other. We share life's lessons. We share kick-ass moments. I am his and he is my Better half. We're secret warriors. and we are in this together. IF ONLY PEOPLE WOULD KNOW.

Every relationship (boyfriend-girlfriend, husband-wife) has its own struggles. Some have similarities, but we have different relationship stories inside.

I'm glad we're not a perfect couple. It would make us boring. 

Birthday Surprise! :D

Hello, Second Semester! I still cant believe that it's my last sem in College. Time flies so fast. I can even remember how I looked when I was still a freshman stud.

Awww! College life is about to attend in 4 months time.

November 8 marks the day of our first day of 2nd semester. And it was a day full of good news. Our lecturer will be our former adviser. And our new adviser is one of the coolest and funniest CIs.Yay!

But this week's highlight was my surprise for Heather and Lindsay. My buddies since 3rd year. They'll be celebrating their birthday on Nov.14 (Sunday), so I decided to throw a little surprise for them on Nov. 11.  It's going to be an advance birthday present for them which they hardly know. I've been thinking for a week on what or how should I surprise them. I thought of what if I gather/collect 20 letters from their loved ones. And also make an avp for them.

So this is the story behind my surprise:

Thank you to Facebook,Gmail, Twitter I can connect to their lovedones. And fortunately. They replied and very willing to write them letters. But, as the days passed by and it's almost the deadline...I was panic-ing. Havent gained 20 letters. But soon enough, I got them more than 20. An accomplishment. Had funny conversations with their loved ones while I was telling them about my surprise. Wednesday night, I prepared the letters and I was starting with my AVP for them.. And DANG! When I got to finish the avp, something shit happened. I was so freaking jammed and I haven't gotten some sleep yet and a shit will happen. I felt I suck. That was the feeling. I was infuriated much. and I was like up until 4:30 am and had a hard time taking a nap because of my cough. And another thing is that, I must prepare for school at 5:00 in the morning.I got up and I was thinking of an alternative surprise.... went to school early to print another letter and.. Yeah.I was thinking, thinking and thinking.I bought 20cupcakes and candles.  As I got inside the room, Lindsay told me that heather will not be attending the class cos she's sick...AW! But I needed to continue my plan. Show must go on. Good thing, computers do make some things possible. I made a very short presentation (still for Lindsay and Heather). I blindfolded Lindsay and prepared everything!! =) And here's what happened:
