Blessings

So much has happened since I have last posted here. As much as I want to keep updating it regularly, time limits me. My excuses are lame I know. Thank you to everyone who's been constantly visiting for short updates.

Ohmegee I am cross-eyed!
Was trying out my eye-shadows.

So to start off, my dad and sister came over for a couple of days to allow my sister to take up her entrance exams in De La Salle University- Manila. The same university, my sister Tata goes to. I was able to spend some quality time with her before she took up the exams. She is much more taller than me now. Envy her slim figure to be honest with you c: Was also able to bring her to out school's exhibit and she was able to explore around and meet the people I have surrounded myself with for the past 2 years that I have been going to PSID.

She's so purdyyy!

Parents were able to feed us food we don't normally get to eat when its just me and my sister here. Haha. budgetting your allowance was one thing we learned when we moved to the Philippines a couple of years ago, yenno?

Here a re a couple of shots that I took during my sister's stay.

Think everything is over? Wrong-o.

I have received so much blessings lately too.
And I only have one person to thank that for.
God.
He has been so good to me and my family. And so to that I am thankful.

Thankful that my mom's cancer cells has decreased since her last check up.
Thankful that he's made my exhibit happen in time.
Thankful that I had my family over to witness it with me.
Thankful that He has helped me change, for the good (I think!)
Thankful that throughout the tough times, He was always there.
Thankful that He's been giving me projects for my career.
Thankful for my friends who's been there throughout the rough patches.
But most of all, thankful for giving me the life that I have right now.

A friend has asked me to work on his patio for him. Who was I to say no to that C:

some woderness

These week's started off hectic and I can feel God being with me throughout my tough and challenging moments. I don't know how to even start thanking my family and friends for keeping me sane and on my toes throughout such a critical part in my life. Everyday is just a blessing. <3

So today, my group mates and I went swatch hunting, its been a ritual waking up sooo freaking early and sleeping at such late hours that caffeine has started being my best friend. To be honest, I am not a fan of coffee but lately, its been making me feel good and it enables me to finish everything that I need to get done. Working up all nighter has given me lots of zits on my face UGH enemy!! But guess what? My crush and I have a zit on the same cheek. Lol, forgive me for being easily amused. True story though :PNothing better than waking up on a noon nap and walking to the closest coffee shop to grab your favorite drink. Holly's Coffee is starting to grow on me to be honest. :) The bartenders are quite nice too, well at least the korean dood was super friendly.

A couple of swatches I be using for my hotel plate. Will keep on updating you guys with whats going down. Oh, the lady who assisted us, in Larry's Shop in Amorsolo Street, Gil Puyat... I think her name was Marie, yeah.. she's the nicest personnel I have ever ever ever encountered. So if you guys ever decide to drop by for textiles and fabrics for anything, ask for her. God bless you woman.

Crepes&Cream with family

Life has been a mixed roller coaster ride these past few days. From the death of our uncle to my parents dropping by and paying their respects. To the blessed trips to experiencing amazing cuisines all over Manila. To the fact that my sister won first place in DLSU's Civil Eng Fun Run for 2010. To the mere fact that I have friends who care about me! Its been one hell of a joy ride and I am so grateful to God for giving me a chance to bond with my parents over the short time that was given to us. Its during times like these when you get tested by appreciating what you already have and using it to its full potential to get through all the obstacles life puts you through. Ahh, its all mixed emotions but nonetheless, I'm thankful for everyone and everything that I have.

Was looking for a dress for my little sister, J when I passed through the Crepes& Cream outlet in RPE. Mama treated me to a hot fresh slice of Spicy Tuna Onion Crepes and mmm, YUM! They used Century Tuna's Hot& Spicy stock. I'd reckon their products taste anywhere.

This was tooken yesterday while walking, hence the blurry image. Its Crepes& Cream's infamous Chocolate Temptation. This little number is so heavenly. The combination of every ingredient never fail to make me enjoy every bite. This one's my fav!High 5 on the new nail do! I was suppose to give me a new french tipped nail but blah I gave up after the 6th try. I need to work on my impatience :)

The Picture Is Clearly In Black And White.

My dad's arriving in Pinas today.. at 10.30pm. I know they were just here this april but him coming here wasn't a choice cos as you all may have known, I have been searching for a condo in the taft area of manila so that I would just walk to the uni everytime I have classes.

Plus it's easier and faster to get the unit if the parent or the buyer was there to sign the necessary forms.. unfortunately I am still so-called not authorized to sign any contract as I am underage.. although those paper sheets are screaming out to my ears that they need to be signed. I can't do anything now, can I?

Oh, just came from the province.. and the 8 hour drive today wasn't so bad. Although something bad almost happened to us as t'was raining when we were on the road and one of the cars we came across with suddenly hit the brakes and my uncle, whom was driving swirled the van so violently that one side of the car almost left the ground. But nothing happened cos God was with us and I know He will always keep us protected, no matter what. That's why it's so important that you pray everytime you leave the house or before you hit the road.

Anyways, although my dad's coming here... I still wished that the whole fam came with him. I soo soo mish them!!
