Keren's Yearender Special

It’s not yet the last week of the year but since I’ll be busy in the next few days and before everyone else starts blogging and reminiscing about their own drama this year, let me start mine…

Bfr and I described this year as EXTREMES. I really thought that 2008 would be a good year for me. Since it has 8 and for Chinese, it means good vibes. Well I guess it’s not applicable to me since I’m not Chinese. (lol) It did bring extremely happy moments, but it also brought the saddest ones.

As much as I wanted to tell everything that happened to me this year, this space would not be enough. So let’s just summarize them as the TOP 20 lessons I’ve learned (relearned) this year…

1. God has reasons for everything. We may not understand it now, but in His own time, He’ll reveal everything. We just need to keep our faith in Him and trust Him.

“That in all things, God works for good to all those who love Him, those whom He has called according to His purpose” – Romans 8:28

2. God gave you friends to show how much He loves you especially during the most difficult times of your life. Nurture the friendship. Love your friends. (I love you friends!)

3. Love your life. Seize the day. Live your life to fullest! Live to love! Leave love.

4. Family sometimes falls apart when the one who puts it up leaves. =(

5. Everything is just about perspective. We must always see things on the brighter side.

6. Feel it, then let go. There’s no sense of holding on if it will only bring the worst of you.

7. First impressions don’t last. Allow time to work its way to know the person better. They have a lot more to offer. Just learn to open up a little.

8. Trust your gut-feel. =)

9. The people that you look up to are not perfect. They all have their own mischief. Just respect them for who they are even if it will shake your beliefs. (waah)

10. Idealism brings peace. It’s just that people love the norms more than what’s ideal.

11. You’re the pilot of your own life. You make your own choices. You must take control! Don’t blame the people around you nor the circumstances. It’s not their fault. Take responsibility for your actions.

12. Don’t put the blame on the girl, after all, it’s not her fault. It’s HIS. (diba???)

13. Procrastination loves your time. Don’t indulge too much or it will eat you.

14. Distance will never ever be a hindrance to a real friendship, ACCOUNTING will. (waah)

15. Girls are hopeless romantic. Nowadays, they prefer vampires over ordinary men because vampires know what FOREVER really means. (Lol)

16. You may always find someone new but true love will lead you back.

17. Trusting entails a lot of patience and practice. It can sometimes break your heart. =(

18. Sometimes, you need to eat your pride just to make someone stay. Or if they don’t, at least you know now how far you can go for love. (Lol )

19.Letting go is harder done than said. But moving forward is the hardest part of all.

20. It takes a great courage for one to stay and wait. But it takes a greater courage to walk away from the person you love dearly. Walking away doesn’t mean one stopped loving. It means that one’s tired of hoping for something that will never happen.

For all the tears, heartaches, ranting, laughs and smiles, 2008 was EXTREMELY EXTREMES.

I survived the wild and crazy ride of my 2008. I hope you did too!

Happy Holidays! =)

happiness

Thursday is happiness.

Friday is more happiness.

Saturday is most happiness.

Sunday is real happiness.

I never felt this happy for the past few months of my life and I hope that this feeling will last. I know that happiness is a choice. But having things to be happy about gives a different story and more happiness.

I’m happy. Really. =D

superblessed sunday

Worship like there's no tomorrow.

Some people find it weird and unusual seeing people lifting their hands while singing songs of worship to God. But for me, that's what you call life. I'm a charismatic. My parents are members of the Light of Jesus Community for 24 years now and since I'm only 20, I basically grew up in the community.

Worshiping God is my way of thanking Him for all His blessings to me. And the privileged I had last Sunday was amazing. Three worships in a day: 2 during the K Con and 1 during the Katinas Concert at the dome. I was superblessed and He surely rekindled my faith. :)

my song

Mama's 51st birthday is coming up. I don't know what got into me last night and I decided to write a poem then eventually turned it into a song.

Luth's Song

              C         G                 F             Am

It’s been a while since you’ve been gone

F               C             Am            G

And here I go again, thinking of you

Am                                 G                

All our memories keep flashing back in

C       F

my mind

                      Bb               G        

Keep flashing back, in my mind

 

 

          C            G           F         Am

You’re the one who first believed

F                              C              Am        

The one who always put me back on my

 G

feet

Am                                 G            

You’re the one who showed me what

  C              F

true love means

                   Bb                           G

You showed me, what true love means

 

 

Chorus:

 

A                     E             D

And this is what I can give

         C#m                       D  

For giving me this life to live

A                              F#m

For molding me to be real

             Bm                                   E

For the love you’ve always let me feel

 

A                       E                  D

Words won’t be enough to thank you

       C#m                         D

And even this song won’t do

               A                 F#m

But this song is my song for you

   Bm            E            A

I love and I miss you mama

 

A                     E             D

And this is what I can give

         C#m                       D  

For giving me this life to live

A                              F#m

For molding me to be real

             Bm                                   E

For the love you’ve always let me feel

 

  A                       E                  D

‘Coz words won’t be enough to thank you

       C#m                         D

And even this song won’t do

        A                   F#m

But this is my song for you

   Bm            E           

I love and I miss you

     A          F#m

I love and I miss you

   Bm            E           

I love and I miss you

   Bm            E           

I love and I miss you

   Bm            E           

I love and I miss you

   A

this week...

I was awake for 47 hours. No, 47 less 10 for my 10-minute nap. Wednesday was so tiring but it was fun. Fun. Fun. Fun. Aside from playing volleyball, our accounting race was successful as well as the awarding ceremonies. Though there were some technical problems and our opening number was….,  but everything else went well. After the activities, we had 5 boxes of yc pizza, 2 kfc chicken buckets and 20 liters of soda. (yumyumyum)

 

Thursday was a lot better. The best Thursday so far! Since calling off classes is impossible and prohibited, an exam-free and recitation-free Thursday is enough. Aside from that, he was there again, standing in front of me and calling me again by my name. Hay. My name sounds sweeter and more beautiful every time he says it. Lalalala.

 

I’m lazy to write and I’m running out of words. I’ll just blog again later.

 

Ciao!

old blog

i was into blogging before after all. (when i was broken hearted) lol. i found this post in my old friendster blog and i can't really remember why i posted this and who's ********:

isang madramang pag-uusap sa pagitan namin ni ********...

Wednesday, January 25th, 2006

********: i never thought of dreaming about you last night.. why do i feel this way? are you coming back tome now? (hindi para sa akin ‘yang line na ‘yan… sinulat lang niya kasi nagdradrama siya… syempre, nireplayan ko..)

raine: please don’t come back… i know that i’ll fall for you again… i don’t want to bear the pain of losing you again.. (reply ko sa kanya na para dun sa sinusulatan niya… medyo can relate… hahaha…)

********: sige na nga, baka hindi talaga tayong dalawa… alagaan mo siya… mahalin mo siya… paalam na..=c…huhuhu…wawa naman ako…(hindi pa rin para sa akin ‘yan… para kay, —–…hahaha)

raine: pero kung dumating ang panahong muling magtagpo ang landas natin, at kung sa pagkakataong ‘yon parehong malaya ang ating puso, ‘wag nating sayangi ang pagkakataon ‘pagkat ang langit na ang gumawang paraan upang tayo’y magkatuluyan…hahaha…

********: sabi natin sa isa’t-isa dati, ‘pag nagkaton na may ibang dumatin, okay lang kasi ‘pag nagkalayo tayo… sobrang panandalian lang un… pero paano na ngayon? (hindi pa rin para sa akin ‘yan… para kay —– pa rin…)

raine: akala ko dati hindi ‘to mangyayari, umasa sa mga pangakong binitawan sa isa’t-isa… pero ngayon alam ko na, mga pangako’y wala na … at ngayo’y umaasa na lang na may dumating ring iba… (pangdagdag niya ‘yan sa sinulat niya… pero can relate pa rin… hahaha…)

********: nalulungkot ako dahil may iba ka na.. nadurog ang puso kasi naalala ko na sabi natin magkaibigan pa rin tayo… kahit ano mangyari.. pero ni ha he hi ho hu wala akong narinig mula sa ‘yo… (para pa rin kay —– ‘yan…)

raine: kaya ngayon hindi alam kung ano ang masmasakit, ang pagkakaroon mo ng iba o ang hindi pagpapakita… kung anuman isa lang ang sigurado, nangungulila ang pusong ito sa ‘yo…

********: where are you to wipe my tears? nung mapanaginipan kita… ngayon ko lang naisip… wala ka na palang talga… =c

raine: sabi nila masmaganda ang realidad, ‘pagkat doon mong tunay na madarama… ngunit ngayo’y umaasa na panaginip na lang sana para sa aking pagising ang sakit ay wala na…

********: paano na ako ngayon… bakit ganun… hinahanap-hanap pa rin kita!!! turuan mo naman akong kalimutan ka… dahil alam kong malit ito… itong nadarama ko… =c

(para kay ********) raine: ayoko, na tapos na masyado nang madrama… hehehe…

(para kay ********) raine: masgusto mo talaga SIYA kahit di mo aminin… minahal mo siya kahit ayaw mo sabihin… at ngayon nasasaktan ka kasi pinakawalan mo pa siya… hahaha… peace…^_^

ayan… yan ang madrama naming pag-uusap ni ********.. secret identity kuno.. hahaha… ‘yung mga script niya, para kay —– ‘yun… dinadagdagan ko lang… na medyo can relate naman ako sa mga sinusulat ko.. obvious ba… ‘wag kayong mag-alala… sana ito na ang huli kong pagdradrama….

reading your old blogs will just make you laugh. lol.
