Princess Jasmin (The Preparation)

This is what happened while we're planning for Jasmin's Big Day. this is my side.
Antagal ko na 'tong gustong iBlog kaso baka mabasa ni jas. kaya etoo naa. XD

August 19
My Nanay-nanay-an, Nanay Leny, talked to me regarding the surprise party for Jasmin. I told her that I'm willing to help.

August 26
First meeting with Ate Kat. This is the first time after years. namiss ko to, ate ko to e.
May lagnat ako that time at di nakapagChurch ng morning. e mejo kaya ko naman kaya nag-GO lang ako. We met at Starbucks in ATC but we didn't really bought anything there. we ate at Johnny Rockets. She discuss the outline of the event kahit maingay dahil sa dance numbers ng crew. sobraang cool talaga dun, not to mention the bottomless ice tea and unlimited FRIES. 

September 8

2nd Meeting. I'm with Ate Kat, Ate Anna, Kuya Marc, Ate Cha, Hazel, Jesril and Aries.
I met Aries earlier than the meet up. so we explore at Victory Christian Center. we had a chance to worship God with their congregation. They sang Beautiful Exchange and Salvation Is Here. Hazel was also with us.

we went to Krispy Kreme, waited for Jesril and the others. Coffee and Doughnuts. we got some laughs. jamming (my files corrupted, i lost the video :( ), planning. everything we needed to. 

September 14
My Hard Drive Crash. I need to format it. so I need to re-do every AVP and presentations. I got the idea on my head. so it was easy for me to do it over.

September 17
Meeting with Ate kat at North Park in SM Center Muntinlupa. I showed the AVPs that I recovered and I got the list of the 18s.

September 19
Denise went here in our home to work on the paper design that will be used on the messages. its overnight. unexpectedly.

September 20

I met Ate Kat at SM to buy the greetings card and we went to their home to work on some things. Kuya Arnold was there practicing songs then Ate Leny and Aries went by after few minutes. they fix the box for the gown and wrote a letter for Jas.

then, we need to burn something. I went to aries' home. on guard. jasmin is not home yet but she'll be any minute. we took off safely. burn what we needed to burn. kuya rocky passed us by for a moment and went home after small talks. they all left. Ate Kat slept for a while. I took a nap. and when we woke up. its..

September 21

4am. me and ate kat went to Jasmin's. carrying the surprise gifts. greetings. whatever. I know nahihiya si jas nung may nakita syang camera, kaya naka-3 delete kame ng video dahil full ng full ang memory. eto yung last video:

then, kumaen lang ako saglit kila ate kat and I'm ready to go home.
sobrang antokers ako nun. so natulog ako sa bahay pag-dating ko. nagising ako around 4pm at umalis din kaagad for practice ng ONE THING. kame ni MJ ang nauuna then charlie then practice. then jesril then aries. eto yung video namen nung practice:

nagdala din pala ng dinner si tita leny at pumunta pa dun si jas na nakita kameng nagppractice at dahil ginabi nadin kame kila ate kat. dun na din kame nakitulog. umuwi na din kame kaagad right after magbreakfast then pag-uwi ko. inayos ko yung ilang AVPs na di pa tapos. XD

In the middle of those meetings, I'm working with my friends (Adobe Premiere, Adobe After Effects and Adobe Photoshop). I searched for ideas. I explored creativity in me. Ate Kat's phonecalls/twitter direct messages/facebook chats/SMS. Nanay Leny's phonecalls. overnight with myself. picture downloads. white lies. 

there's more on the next blog. :)

Happy Birthday Dendoy!

Happy Birthday! anu nga bang kaibahan ng late na bumati sa maaga?
well, wag kang maano jan. di talaga kita binati. you know, I'm just into experiment. a social experiment. but anyway, Happy Natal Day Dendoy. matagal na pala tayong magkakilala.  madami nang pinagdaanan. pero sa totoo lang, WALA AKONG MASABE.

so eto lang ang tanging kaya ko:

I thank God everytime I remember you, you're an answered prayer when I ask Him to give me what I need. you're a good friend. A good secret keeper but there is something that you don't know, that is when everybody leaves you and even when the sky falls down on you. You are wonderful. Don't make yourself kawawa. always remember that everything happens for a reason. God has a plan. Don't drown yourself in melancholy when you can't handle it. just move forward. you're not kawawa. you're blessed.

May you find always yourself in the center of God's Will and may your dreams come true.

Audition for 34th Year Anniversary

September 2.
kapanahunan ng gustong gusto kong magsayaw. Inspired ako sa Step Up Film Series. so as Jasmin announced that there will be an audition for the 300 dancers. dina ko nag-isip (which i usually do) sumama kaagad ako. 

dumami din kame kase nag-announce kame sa kkbs. si hans, ronnel, karl, mj, charmane, angelica, jasmin at ako. nauna na din si jas. so, susunod nlng yung iba. ang saya lang namin sa tren kase nagkukulitan sila, ako nakikitawa lang. mejo, mahaba-habang byahe din pero masaya.

pagdating namen dun nagpractice kame, Tuloy ang awit yung kanta. bali parang review lang yun. btw sa PUP Sta. Mesa yung audition. hinanap muna namen si jas at hinintay matapos yung meeting nila, sa kkb din.  kaya, kwentuhan at tawanan, practice lang kame. hanggang sa dumating na si jas at nagpractice for the last time at may timawag nga samen kung mag-aaudition daw kame kase nagliligpit na.  sumayaw kame, pang 86 ata ako. sobrang nakakakaba nung nandun na kame para sumayaw. pero worth it. di ka kase mapapahiya, ang galing nilang mag-approach.

umuwi na kame pagtapos, nagtren, di pa din naubusan ng energy. although magkahiwalay yung gals sa guys. cool pa din kahit mainit sa tren.  nagJolibee nga pala kame sandali. at tska umuwi. we're looking forward that time na matanggap kame.
ang guess what! we are!


Big Hand for the Lord! now, i realize that nothing is impossible with Him. :D

C-Square with the KKBs

Mira, Christelle, Israel, Hans, Charmane, Jeremiah, MJ, Reymark, Cathy and Jabes.

Aug. 21, 2012 | 3PM
         C-Square, the place where we gathered together for our Youth Gathering. it should be in Sunken Garden but it rained right before we went there. so on rush, we changed places.
On Festival Mall, our first activity is to answer questions I provide. it was fun. No, it was crazy. we laugh hard. i believe everyone enjoyed the questions. 

after those questions, I shared about Grace and Love (which I loved sharing) and Cathy, after I shared, introduce the 5 Love Language. and we had this small test about finding our own love language.

Act of Service
Words of Affirmation
Physical Touch
Quality Time
Receiving Gifts

I'm Bilingual, meaning I have 2 Love Language. I already know mine, I took a test long ago from cathy's book. Words of Affirmation and Receiving Gifts. 
and then, Kokology. we laugh so hard. XD

i hope everyone enjoyed the gathering.
looking forward to the next. :D

Cathy's Birthday

After listening to a friend's heartbreak story. here am I talking to her about surprising this long kept friend, Cathy. this is what happened.

I have weird plans in my head but it will take time to prepare and more budget to be contrive. so I go with the simple one, I think she'll be surprise still. 
Food? I'm on it. Cake? Denise got it. Map to Cathy's home? We'll explore on it.

the next day, I'm ready to go. I went to McDonalds and think for a while then I search for a phone and call in their home, that's a part of the plan, if she's home, we'll go. if not, goodbye surprise.

I dialed her number. RING. RING. RING.
Hello? its her home. cathy's not home. she said cathy's on the mall with a friend or two.
Change of plans..

we're going to Festival Mall.
there, we've searched for her. we split up. we've scanned in our head where she probably go. Me on National Bookstore, Denise on Krispy Kreme/Powerbooks. and guess what! we end up reading books on powerbooks.

Minutes later a Text Message came to Den's phone. its from cathy. and another sets of minutes later. I'm with Denise, Rolinda and the Birthday Girl, Cathy. we just talk and eat.
I hope she had a good time with us. our surprise didn't go so well, still we have this moment, that she celebrate her birthday with her friends. this is my first time to be with her on her birthday! 

Happy Birthday Cathy! :D

Y-Men Conference

Y-Men Conference.

it was a great conference. I'm still a KKB but yet I have this chance to attend this Conference of Young Adults. in their theme "Made Courageous". My eyes were opened as I listen to courageous speakers. the conference talk about the future. I mean, business and family stuffs. at least I have this slight knowledge about getting into family and getting out into the world.

the last speaker made me think about being a speaker. will you imagine? me? a speaker?
my dream? be lined up with great speakers like Francis Kong, Bo Sanchez, John Maxwell and other excellent speakers.

If God put this dream in my heart. I'm gonna say "who's up for adventure?" and answering myself "who else? me!".

I'll be rich. a CEO of a company. still adventurous type of unknown species of mankind. 
Hello World!

Life is unfair

Last Wednesday, there's an horrifying news that made my day angry.
I have this friend. she and her sister were my brother israel and I's childhood friends. we used to play when we were kids. and we used to sing-a-long with our cassette tape, God's Army Album, even in prayer. we do nasty things and laugh about what we do.
years later our worlds went apart, they went to their province and we stayed here.

and then, 1 came back, they younger one. its good to see her again but its kinda awkward for some reason. 'til i had a change to talk with her and my aunt in their house. its a good time. that was 2010. and weeks later she left. no news about her til. wednesday.
I woke up. Dad shocked me. He told me that she and her older sister almost raped, good thing they escaped. 

Manel is gone. she's the younger one. she gave me remembrances. its so unfair. I've never lost a friend before. how is that possible?
she's a good girl, and where in the world the rapist go?. it gets annoying by the moment. now, i believe she's with the angels and she's with the Lord. Good bye my friend. thanks for the memories.
