Forget yourself long enough.

"Don't push your way to the front; don't sweet-talk your way to the top. Put yourself aside & help others get ahead. Don't be obsessed with getting your own advantage. Forget yourselves long enough to lend a helping hand''

Isn't it more fulfilling if we people share our success with others? 

May we find joy in finding our way to success and as we become successful, let us not forget to bring other people along with us. ☺

It Never Ends ♥

Last Friday night, July 13, 2012, after a rough day at work I finally got to be with my college friends! The last time I was with them was second week of March. Luckily, there was no conflict on our schedule so we were able to see each other! 

I know everyone would agree that it's a joy seeing your friends once in a while, and get crazy with them. 

I have a bunch of good friends (old and new) and Lindsay and Heather are two of the best people I met. 

This video shows 60% of what happened that night.  At Lindsay's place. Right amount of food and drink, videoke, love, fun and friendship

I think it's never too late for a Call Me Maybe video, right? 

''Nurses by profession, idiots at heart'', says Lindsay. Ha-ha! 

Yeah! Take a break and get crazy! ♥

Our Daniel ♥

Hi, let me introduce you to the additional joy in my life. Thank you Jesus for my sis-in-law's safe and smooth operation.

June 6, 2012, another Muñoz was born. 

Daniel's first photo sent to us. 

Woke up one morning with his photos tagged to me. 

got his looks from his older brother, Dominic. 

I wake up every morning seeing my four nephews on my phone's wallpaper. I've said this before and I will say it again, they make this world a better place to live in and my life has been really wonderful when they came. 

Welcome to the world, Daniel!!

I can not wait to meet you little boy! ♥ I love you from the bottom of my heart!!!

Love,

In just a snap.

Your life can change, in just a snap.

I am here to share the story of one the patients that I handled that got closer to my heart. Let's name her patient J. She's 21, young, newly graduate, and unemployed. 

Heartbreaking situation. When you are in the ICU, you get to monitor your patients very well. You get to talk to them even if they don’t respond. It was her 8th day at the ICU the day we handled her. Still, in deep coma. Judging by her looks, you'll know she is a quiet and a kind girl. I was at her side when her dad came to visit. I kept on holding back my tears every time i hear her father tells her this: "Anak, gising kana. Tagal mo na tulog eh. Andito na si Papa, gising kana". , "Gising kana", . I got to know her from the stories of her father, siblings and friends who come to visit her. I don’t know why I feel so close to her. Maybe because I personally think she is a nice person, a good daughter and sister.

The day she got in the hospital was the day that the company she applied for called her up for an interview; unfortunately, she could no longer pursue it. At the moment, she hasn’t been really good, but her Glasgow Coma Scale is improving (a bit).

She did not come from a wealthy family; one of her brothers will not be able to continue school because of her hospitalization, and many more. What happened to her was something her family did not expect. At this moment, she needs our prayers. Nothing but our prayers.

PS. 

To those people who ask so much to their parents, think. To those people who are so self centered and just full of themselves, think. You are way too blessed. 

To those young people reading this, please value your education a lot.  Please value your friends, your family, the people around you. More importantly, please value your life. I know, all of us commit mistakes, even big mistakes that we can never change, but life always goes on and.. Just remember, that sometimes our wrong choices, our mistakes, our struggles bring us to the right places. So make a difference in your life, and if you still can, make a difference in the lives of many.

Guess what, just like YOU, she also wants to help her family, she wants to have a job, she wants to enjoy life. And… I pray, she will. 

You don’t have to be an angel. We don’t need to be angels. We just have to make sure that we make our everyday count because our lives can change, in just a blink of an eye.

By the way, happy 2nd anniversary to my blog! I dedicate my TLKC's anniversary to you, Patient J!  :-)Plus, this is just in time for the Father's Day Celebration! Patient J lost her mom when she was in highschool, and it's just her father who has been with them (patient J has 8 siblings) for the past years. What her father told me after the visit was, ''Ayos lang mabaon sa utang, basta magising lang sya''. A father who will do anything for his child. Enough said.

Respect Begets Respect.

Photo grabbed on Facebook

RESPECT.

First, I do not know how you define ‘Respect’. I do not know how you define respect in your dictionary. The only thing that I know about you is that.. I know you know this ‘Respect begets Respect’

Secondly, before I scribble down my thoughts let me tell you this before you make a judgment. I am a sinner. I do not read the Bible every day and I do not know everyone in the Bible nor everything in the Bible nor every verse in the Bible, I sometimes fail to pray the rosary daily, I sometimes fail to attend the novena, and yes, I don’t get to complete all those Sunday masses in a year. I even left a religious group. I know, tell me. I am a sinner.

I woke up today, thanking my God for another day, thanking my God that finally I didn’t have any palpitations as early as that (my mama will surely get mad when she reads the word ‘palpitations’ Poor little me I’ve been having some on and off palpitations for almost a week, brought about by caffeine, little physical, mental and emotional stress and lack of sleep), so moving on, I checked on my Instagram and saw a photo of a woman posing on the crucifix for fun (taken on a holy week). I was like what-is-this-girl-thinking, seriously? Yadah yadah yadah.

 I checked on my Facebook timeline and the photo has gone viral, well there were several people who even posed for that. Heck.

Just like what other people say, it is not a matter of religion, it’s a matter of respect. I want to quote what my friend, Monique Fajardo, said about those photos ‘Whether you are roman catholic, protestant, atheist, buddhist, muslim, etc. we should at least have respect for the belief of others. The crucifixion is very sacred to us Christians, that's why other people react so violently at this, i mean you wouldn't want something you respected so much be seen as a joke by others. It's not a matter of religion too, because for all we know some of these people might be Christians themselves, it's just a matter of RESPECT.”

Those who get to read my blog posts know that I am no angel. I am no angel BUT I do believe in my God, I do believe in the Gods of other religious groups. Yes, I may be a sinner BUT the God that I have taught me what respect is about

.

This aint a joke. I think those people need to go back to the time when they were little with the Golden rule being taught to them.

Why did I blog about this? Because it pays when you respect other people. I mean, you can not choose to love every single person in the world BUT you can give them the amount of respect that they deserve. 


Again, respect.. begets..respect.

The Real Thing.

Have you experienced a point in your life when you got so confused and you don't know what to do best? A point in your life when you tell your God that you trust him fully but there are times that you'll be in doubt? Times like you become so impatient. Impatient because you do not want to get wounded again?


Here you go. I am not going to take back any thing that I'll write next. I've become sad about so many things. But I never questioned my God. I won't be too shy to admit that Yes, I did struggle.


In order for you to understand, let me share where are these thoughts coming from. Last November, I did resign at work (call center). Personal reason, read it HERE. I wanted to rest from the little exhaustion that I got (fyi, I had a great time @ Alorica). I wanted to regain strength, more importantly, regain the weight that I lose. Part of the little vacation that I had was a thought of going back to what I love most,--being a nurse. From the time the results of the Board Exam were released, I did not apply at any hospital (which I do want to regret but I decided not to :p ) Last February, I applied in a hospital which I really wanted to get into. But, it wasnt for me. It was so sad to not get what you want (You guys know the feeling) especially when you really see yourself working there. Sucks, right. Day after that, I moved on and told my God "that whatever His plans for me are, Thy Will Be Done" I will no longer do things according to 'my' will but according to His. I know, I know everything does happen for a reason and my God has His own reasons. There is this another hospital that I really want to get into and I remembered that there was a night when I prayed before I went to bed, I prayed that May He let me work there even if it is a bit far from my place.


Fast Forward to March, I got endorsed in a hospital in the city (Thanks to my Grandfather) but I was in doubt of taking it. The same date that I was endorsed to that hospital was the time when someone from the hospital that I-prayed-to-get-into sent me a message that I am scheduled for an exam and interview. That day, I did not know where to even put the happiness that I was feeling. Two weeks after I was interviewed, my good friend Charmaine told me that my paper got a note "for training". Only thing is, we do not know when is the training going to be. I waited for two weeks and still did not get any news. Friday of last week, March 30, after some chat with Charmaine, I decided that if before the Holy Week and the hospital will not call, then I'll go to the hospital in the city where I was endorsed and be scheduled so I can start my training. I was so confused. I tweeted "i am so confused. May You bless the choices that I will make, Lord" ONE HOUR after having decided that, I finally got a text message from the hospital's hr asking me to report on Monday. The moment I got to read that, I literally jumped for Joy and said "Thank You, Jesus!!"  and I tweeted, "Wow.. just when I really really need an answer!! thank you, Jesus! I love you" . Wow. God moves in mysterious ways.


It is not easy to be patient. It is truly not. Especially when you know people that are enjoying being employed. I had to battle with that because I never want to be jealous of anything. So it is not easy. But there are so many things ahead of us that are truly worth the wait. Things that we do not see coming at all but in the end leave us loaded with joy.


I had my tough times while waiting. Being idle for a couple of months is not that I have ever dreamt of. But those months that I was weak were the times that I have become stronger (and better). I thank my God for the struggle that I experienced. I thank my God for letting me experience a little heartache and sorrow. It is hard to battle with all those thoughts every single day. It was not easy.


After all, I realized after I graduated, after my review for NLe, after the NLE, i immediately had my work, so maybe those months that I spent being idle (although sad) prepared me to finally do something what I love most.  I mean, it was not easy (I'm saying this again) but our God has His own reasons. His ways are not easy to understand (let's face it) but His ways are....the Best.


Yes, God has His own reasons and He moves in Mysterious Ways.


So there. In the spirit of Holy Week, I wrote this. Kidding aside, I wrote this because I wanted to...inspire.. and say our God is forever Great.


P.S it felt great to write what i've been through. It was a tough job to write what i've been struggling for months. At some point, i am shy to be sharing my struggle but I do not want to mind even if some will try to laugh on what I've been through (i laugh on it as well)


PPS. I dont do this because i am part of anything or what, I blog about this because i do believe in my God. And my God is A Faithful God.

Have a blessed Holy Week everyone! 

PPPS God answers in three ways. 

First, He says Yes and gives you what you want. 

Second, He says no and gives you something better.

Third, He says Wait and gives you the best.

A note to everyone.

I pray that everyone of us gets to use the social media to share our thoughts, opinions, NOT insult others. I’m saying this because a lot of people are getting into trouble because of the use of impertinent statements on Twitter, Facebook, etc. Yes, it is alright to share your thoughts & opinions. But to insult others? A big NO. Because seriously, what if you experience the same insult? I mean, everyone of us should always be responsible for whatever we say on Blogger, Tumblr, Twitter, Facebook (name it).

We are all educated (Yes, I said ‘all’). Now if some of you gets to experience being insulted online, it’s up to you whether you’d defend yourself and do the same thing with the other person or just know the art of ‘deadma’.

Whatever type of a person in social media you are, I hope you will be responsible on whatever you will say.

Do not be afraid to share your thoughts but remember to be cautious. As they say ‘Just because you are free to say whatever you want,doesn’t always mean you should’’ I hope that makes sense.

touched by a stranger.

Last March 9, 2012, I had my IVT Completion at a tertiary hospital in our city, part of the completion was to have a Blood Transfusion case. It was 9:30pm when I started the BT to an elderly patient. Let’s name her Lola X. She was weak, thin and was hoping to get well. She was confined at a ward in the said hospital, with her significant others visiting her, Lola X was fighting for her life. I made sure that I check her from time to time and I was so touched when she held my hand saying thank you. You know, being a nurse, it’s a joy when your patient appreciates the things you do for them. It’s a nurse’s achievement.

Moving on, while I was sitting on the bench at the corridor of the Station where I was assigned to, a girl sat behind (yes, behind) me & stared at me. Her name was Johainne (I’m not sure if I spelled her name correctly). She was so nice and has kept on saying good things about me. She kept me company for 30 minutes. We were talking about her grandmother (Lola X) and her life mainly. What broke my heart when we were chatting was when she said “ kahit ganto ako kapayat gusto ko pong mag-donate ng dugo sa lola ko” (in English, “Even if I am this thin/skinny, I want to donate blood to my grandmother).  I tried to keep my tears from falling.

Wow. I was touched by a stranger. I hope there are still a lot of kids like Johainne. A kid who thinks of her family, a kid who has a good heart.

From this experience, I want to share to all of you that, we should not lose hope in the goodness of other people. There are so many good people around. You may never know, you’d see an angel in a stranger. Despite the chaos that we all go through, there will always be someone who will always be willing to give a hand to hold. Now, I wonder how Lola X is doing. I hope she has recovered fast. May God bless her.

How about you? Have you been touched by a stranger? What's your story? 

P.S Yes, the little kiddo is back on track. 

the little kid

Sincerely Yours.

I'll be back. Promise. 

Hi, I know I haven't blogged for quite some time. Can I request something from you? Please wish me luck and please do pray for me. I'll be back soon and hopefully with some good news. I am all good, just hopeful for something that I've been really praying hard for. Pray for me, yes?

I wish you all the success and happiness in the world. 

I'll be back. Thanks to each and everyone of you, from the bottom of my heart I really appreciate your time. Thank you for taking time to visit TLKC. :-)

Twists and Turns. Highs and Lows. Life is good & God is Great.

Real Men Surprise Their Dates

Just wanna share this video. Ha-ha. Found myself teary-eyed and smiling after watching this. No, I think I was smiling and my eyes were teary the whole time I was watching this. Eeeep!

Yes, so cute. And definitely, sweet.

I think for some reasons, Valentine's day are for women. On this day (more often) men show how much love/affection/attraction/WHATEVER they have for the woman they love/like. I think that women deserve to be somewhat treated very special once in a while. Yes, everyday is Valentine's day but I think women for some reasons would love to be surprised on a day like this.

Happy Valentine's Day and Goodnight!


the little kid

Valentine's Day or not.

Hi, There! Just Dropping by to send this little message from me.

I have been seeing posts of some people on Twitter, Facebook, etc that are stressing too much of not having someone to spend the Valentine's day with. It may be a struggle to celebrate alone to some, but seriously.. I do hope that everyone finds every reason to smile, in a relationship or not; Valentine's day or not. 

Remember, You are Loved. 

God bless your heart and its desires.

So what's up, Love month?

Last night my brother asked me about some Prom thingamajigs. He asked me if he should go or not. I told him (I actually forced him) to attend. I think it’s something highschool students should not miss. 

I can clearly remember how fun our prom was. Well of course, I had my “kilig” moments that I’ll never forget.  Being asked for a dance by quite a number of boys was fun and flattering.

When I was in 3^rd Year (Junior HS), since it was my first time to attend I was a little shy so I was just sitting beside my friend Pam and I didn’t realize it will be a whole lot of fun when you’re being asked for a dance. I remembered trying to count how many boys have asked me to dance that time (Silly, yes but it’s true)  and it was really fun and flattering. Fun because I got to really enjoy and flattering because some boys from school really got to appreciate my beauty (Beauty?? HAHAHA). My last dance on that prom was my ultimate crush which really made my night and of course those dancing on the floor with my group. Fast forward to the following year, I was a Senior then and that was a night to remember. We had this little program where one Senior student will tell how she sees her batchmates in the future and the few names that she’ll mention should be coming up on stage. Luckily, I was included. It was really fun though. I even got to participate in a candle dance number (sorry, I can’t remember how it is being called). But that night was one of the best nights of my life! Okay, yes I was also asked for a dance by quite a number of boys, too. (Uyy, those were the days) and my last dance was still my ultimate crush (Uyy again).  My fave dances were those I did with my bestfriend Carlo, my super handsome bestfriend Nico, and Von Edward (he’s not the ultimate crush, okay) but he was my best guy buddy in highschool and of course with my ultimate crush (JK), Seriously, the group dances were the most fun! Okay, enough of my stories.

Now, seriously, I hope highschool students get to experience this especially when they have the opportunity because there are some schools that don’t hold such event. Plus, it’s fun and it’s something  most kids look forward too. Enjoying a prom is just a part of growing up. He-he.

Speaking of Prom which is being held every February? Valentine’s Day is fast approaching, I hope those with dates get to enjoy and those who have no plans nor expecting (like me)  Goodluck to us in battling our little girl dreams (he-he-he) maybe someday our little girl dreams will come true.

Enjoy the rest of Feb! Cheers to better days ahead!

Love,

the little kid

Dayuhang Dukha.

Video from Youtube

Isa raw sa bawat sampung Pilipino ang naghahangad na makalabas ng bansa para guminhawa ang buhay ng kanilang pamilya. Habang may ilan namang dayuhan, na nabibighani at nagpapasyang manirahan sa ating bansa. Sanay sa marangyang buhay ang marami sa kanila.

Pero sa isang iglap, nagbago ang kanilang estado. Nawalan ng trabaho. Nalustay ang yaman. Nagbago ang pananaw sa buhay. At hindi na nakabangon pa. Tila hindi na nga sila naiiba sa maraming Pilipino

ng isang kahig, isang tuka araw-araw. Kulay at pananalita na lang ang hindi nagbago sa kanila.

Ang dating marangyang banyaga, sila na ngayong DAYUHANG DUKHA.

From Facebook

Last Sunday Night, I think I read a tweet on my twitter timeline (I don’t know who tweeted it and I’m sorry (haha), about what was being shown on GMA News TV. I am not actually a fan of GMA, but I love watching some docu, now this show, Reel Time was tackling about those foreigners who went to the Philippines and ended up having none.

What I loved about this docu was I admire those foreigners that even if they really struggle, even if they are left with almost nothing and struggling to survive they still try to look on the brighter side and they never stop from being positive.

Here’s also the thing that I want we Filipinos should learn or realize: We should not take any advantage of other people, foreigners or not. Yes, some Filipinos are not treated very well abroad but that doesn’t mean that we should do the same.,I mean.. let us not be blinded that even if those people came from a very rich land that doesn’t mean that we should take advantage of them. I know we have our own needs, but may we all ask for help in the best way rather than getting almost what those people have. That is not fair.

This documentary broke my heart but at the same time inspired me in so many ways. I hope there is a link where we can all watch this documentary again.

Kudos to the people who made this documentary, you guys made a great decision of showing us something new. Something we havent seen.

Women of my 2011.

Here you go, so this has been on my list of “to post or not to post”. I have tried to make it a little appealing but there is no way I can make it more appealing. Anyway, yes! So I’ve been wanting to post this but I didn’t have that much time to finish and to come up with the right words. Now, I want to introduce you to the Women of my 2011. (inspired by the People of 2011 articles)

 The Women of my 2011.

Axzelle Mae de Torres, RN

Ate Axelle. I met her in college and I got to spend some time with her during our Grand Case preparations. I've seen in Ate Axelle how proud she is of me and even up to this moment, she remains sweet and I always wish her the best of everything. She's one of the most honest and genuine ladies I've known. I admire her. She became a mom at a young age but strived harder and went to college and she was able to inspire a lot of people. She is loved because she has a real soul. I love her because she inspires me in many ways. I love Ate Axelle because she appreciates everything you do and I think that is one of the best things in this world knowing that someone appreciates the things that you do.

Wish for her: that her dreams do come true especially for herself and her son, Deo.

 

Mary Rosebel Monique Fajardo, RN

iDOLL. She's a woman of my 2011 because I've seen how much she possesses the real beauty. Beauty that comes both in and out. Just recently, she joined a pageant and even if she didnt bag the crown, she was able to bag the hearts of many. She is a real beauty queen. Beauty and brains, as they say.

For Monique: May God bless Monique, iDOLL and may she continue to inspire others with her wit, beauty and kindness

 

Ma. Steffi Lindsay M. Munoz, RN

My forever seatmate. Len is one of the best buddies I had in college. I knew her before because she was popular and didn't even expect that i'll be really close to her. Since we have the same family name, we sat next to each other during college up to taking tha Nursing Licensure Exam and our names on the results of the board til the Oath Taking. If you really know her, you'll really love Len. She loves her family so much and she knows what she wants in her life. I always laugh when I'm with her. We share so many life stories that we will always laugh about. Together with Heather, we share our own little stories about family, relationships and everything that's happening around us. She is always concerned of you and she'd hug you when you're sad. She is honest and will tell you when she doesnt like the things around you and I love her for that.

 I am really happy for Len that she's making her dreams come true. I know she'll get far and I am so proud of her. She's beautiful inside and out.

Wish for her: God bless her on her journey. I know she'll get far and continue to share the happiness and her blessings.

 

Jan Heather M. Muro, RN

Another best buddy in College. Heather is one of the most caring persons I know especially when it comes to her mom & dad. Heather is not the funniest person on earth nor someone with sense of humor but you'll get to laugh with her because there's something funny about her where we all think it goes out with her. Haha. Seriously, she's really a good friend. We sometimes have this love-hate relationship but we do know how much we treasure each other. She has a lot of say with so many things which we really find funny, (and she knows that). Heads is one of most fragile women I know but she really has a good heart for other people so I do hope that the people that she'll meet along her journey will appreciate her as much as we all do. I am also so proud of her, really really proud. I love you, Ms. Perfect :-p

Wish for her: to continue making her dreams come true, and like what she always wanted, a good health for her mom&dad.

Jean Elizabeth Obrador, RN & Maricar Obrador, RN, Xylene Joyce Morales, RN

The Uping Girls (aside from Lindsay & Heather). Been with them for more than two weeks but we all think that those days were enough to prove how much we love and care for each other. If people would know how we struggled then people will know why we love each other so much. I think I could not have gotten a beautiful 2011 if these girls (the Upings) werent part of it. Those two weeks were the most kick-ass two weeks of my 2011! And all of the girls passed the board! =) I'm so proud to be a part of the Upings!

Wish for them: ...that everything will fall into their proper places for them =)

 

Group B Girls

I can not thank them enough for the honesty and love that they have shown to me. I love them for who they are. They made all our duties in the hospital and in our dorm super fun, emotional, and truly worth remembering. I love you Mamang Marsha, Anisah, Jean, Car, and my duty mates Anna, Pipay, Heather and Kimmy baby. Plus, Ate Marj.

Gian Mel Gutierrez, RN

Ian. My partner. Ian is one of the smartest women I know. She thinks before she speaks. She thinks before making any judgment. Also, she's one of the sweetest friends I have. What I also love about Ian is that she has so much faith in you, in your abilities and in your talents and that's how she is to me. She will inspire you not by the things that she has but with her beautiful thoughts. She is also a fighter and goes for what she wants in life.

Wish for her: That she continues to inspire other people with her thoughts, ideas. Ian has a good heart and its infectious.

Janina Camille Panopio

Jaica. People know her as sosyal but I know her as someone who has a simple and good heart with the people that she loves. Yes, I can say that she's the first person that I got to be really close with who has so much love about those fancy thingmajigs but I've always believed that she's really beyond that. She is a caring friend and she just wants to enjoy life as much as you do. I could stay up all night telling her about so many things in life, love, etc because we are really different from each other. I can always say that I will always stand by her, thick or thin because I understand who she is and I always hope the best for her.

Wish for her: To love herself as much as we people love her because she's beyond beautiful.

 

Aiza Arano.

She is the epitome of a young and happy pregnant woman. I met her March of this year. It was just today (January 4, 2012), when she gave birth to a healthy and beautiful baby girl named Erin Kelsi M. Arano. Watching her on labor was truly admirable. I've seen alot of women in labor but she's the only woman I know who handled it calmly. She is strong and very patient. Her husband told us that seeing how his wife managed the birthing process made him love his wife more.

Wish for her: ..that their family will continue to grow inlove with each other. :)

 

Kristine Marie Magaling

If every year i'll get to write my women of ___, Tine will always make it on the list. She has remained my sister, best friend, everything. She loves me, too much. I think that defines it all, she loves me..too much. I dont know how much faith she has in me, but Tine has always been so supportive, has always been so true, has always been so loving & caring, has always been so concerned. & I love her so much. I know, just like everybody, Tine will make it far in life because I've seen how much she always goes for her dreams, how she makes her dreams come into reality.

Wish for her: that she'd go further. I know there's a beautiful future ahead of her.

 

Marjorie Ann L. Diaz, RN

She's the woman who teaches me that sometimes, yes it's okay to be emotional. Its okay to set aside the things that you really know, its okay that atleast once, twice, you cry. Yes, its okay and it wont hurt if you cry. if atleast once, you'd be dramatic. Ate Maan is someone who never stops til she gets what she wants. She'd prove the whole world that she is deserving of this and that. & its not easy. But for her, she will always prove to you that she can have what she deserves to have.

Wish for her:...that she gets what she wants, in God's perfect time.

Mary Ann Llamas, CPA

People know her as the silent type, well, she is just sof spoken. She is someone who works hard and always willing to learn that is why she excels. She is not afraid to take risks, she's not afraid to break the rules. She is fearless and adventurous. You'll be blown away by her charm and wit.

Wish for her: ..a more successful life ahead because she deserves it.

 

Norida Vergara-Dimaculangan

 Nanay Ida has always remained a mother to me. She is so caring and loving. She will love you like her own and I love her for that. She has been so good and loving to me ever since Patten and I started our relationship. I love Nanay.

 

Justine Danielle Ilagan.

My little sister. Its so nice to have someone whom you know will never forget you and the things that you've done for them. We dont talk everyday, we seldom see each other, but Justine has remained so loving.

Wish for her: that she gets what she has been praying hard for. And for someday, someone will truly find the true beauty in her, and will take care of her.

 Maria Kristina P. Katigbak and the TB Girls that I got to be with last year

Keena was crowned as the Mutya ng Lipa 2011 on January 2011. No dull moments with Keena. Pure honesty and fun. She is tough and positive and always keep her feet on the ground.

I wish that Keena gets to achieve her dreams for this year, I know she can and I know she will!

She is a woman of my 2011 together with the other TB Girls.

The women of 164. 

 Although I just got to be with them for quite sometime, they made my stay in Alorica more worth-remembering. They allowed me to see a different world, another dimension where people also loved me for who I am, and even up to the moment that I am no longer in Alorica, they still manage to keep in touch with me.

Wish for them: Wow! I wish you girls the best! Ha-ha-ha! Cheers to the goodtimes! Thank you for love M, Anne, Zhe, Ate Loth, and Madam!

I've been really grateful with Patten's mom for the love that she's been showing to us (me and jaica). Eversince Patten and I got together in 2007, she's been very supportive and loving. Patten sometimes tries to tell me that I sometimes become like her mom that never stops from doing good for others no matter how much those people have hurt us. Even if we communicate miles away, she has remained a mother to us and trusts us so much. What I love most about her is that she has so much love in her heart even with the people that have hurt her. She taught her kids that no matter how bad things can be, no matter how bad people treat you, never stop from giving. She's the most thoughtful person I know. I thank her for raising Patten very well.

 

My sisters-in-law

I've always said that life has become more beautiful when my nephews came and yes, it wouldnt be possible without my sisters. Both of them are doing a wonderful job raising my nephews and loving them and my brothers. I love my brothers so much and seeing both of them happy makes me feel better. I wish that they may both continue to be a perfect example of women who love their children.

Now I am speechless. I am glad and thankful that God did a great job for making her my mom. Mama taught me everything. She taught me how to love, how to give, how to forgive and how to be patient. She taught me that life is hard, but its harder when you dont fight. She taught me that those people who have a loving heart are the happiest. She taught me that nothing can be greater than His Love for us. She taught me a lot and she allows me to be happy, always. When I was younger, I didnt get to have ''everything''. I was never spoiled, and I was disciplined very well. That's the reason why she trusts me and supports my decisions. What I know in life, I owe it to her and my father. She is the only woman who has always made so many things easier for me. If I'd be given the chance to live my life again, I will still want her to be my mother.

They are the beautiful women of my 2011.
