Please take some time to read my first blog entry. It's very important. Thank you! (: Happy posting!MY LATEST UPDATES:Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie in Boracay this Holy Week?Rumor has it that Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt will have a vacation at a new five-star international resort of Shangri-La Hotel in Boracay. According to the news, there was this US registered private plane that arrived at NAIA last Friday, the Hollywood couple weren't there. But reports said that a representative of the couple booked a room at the hotel though it was not confirmed yet if it’s really for the Hollywood couple.
- Brangelina will stay at the newly opened 5-star hotel of Shangri-La in Boracay.
- Joy Wassmer, reportedly used by Jolie as an alias booked a suite at the hotel for a week.
- There'll be 8 bodyguards, 3 of them being female disguised in beach attire!
I kinda felt giddy since we will also be spending Holy week vacation at Boracay and it makes me wanna jump for joy whenever I imagine the idea of seeing them in the flesh! I'd really search for them if I could only afford a suite at Shang Bora! Haha.
Who knows, EXPECT THE UNEXPECTED! Haha, oh well.. will be off tomorrow already. Have a blessed Holy Week! Keep safe, everyone. Have a blessed Holy Week.
2009 Teentalk Awards: Thank YouI would like to express my sincerest gratitude and say thank you to those who people who had taken their precious time to vote for me in the category Teentalk Muse at the 2009 Teentalk Awards. It’s heartwarming that these people find the beauty in me, inside-out, although I do know that I have imperfections.
During the previous Teentalk award years, I received the awards for Most Active and Best Username. But this is a whole lot different than the two awards. It has more meaning and depth.
It’s not about what others think of me or even what others want me to be. It’s about being who I was created to be. That’s where I begin to find the truth about beauty.
So I thank each and everyone of you who see me as this kind of person. There is no secret, and there is no magic formula. We only to allow ourselves to see the beauty around us, and everything else will follow.
P.S.
I don't have the April ish of Candy Mag yet. So if anyone's has got it would you be kind enough to scan and post it? I'd really appreciate it. Thank you!

April 1, 2009Boradise, here I come!Graduating from college is truly an exciting time for me and my fellow batchmates as we are, predominately, finished with our education phase and about to enter the “real world.”
It was my graduation day yesterday and I was with my family plus howe.
I saw gentlemen holding a bouquet of roses for their family members or loved ones who were also a candidate for graduation. I didn't receive any but it's alright. What matters is that I'm with my loved ones and they got to spend their time with me yesterday.
After the solemn investiture, I was really tired and hungry so we headed straight to Mall of Asia and had dinner at Mann Hann.
After a hearty dinner, we walked around the mall, went to some shops, and while we were at it, he handed me over this white envelope. I thought it was a letter from him but it was quite crumpled already.
I carefully opened the envelope and pulled out a plane ticket. I thought he was showing me his plane ticket since he already mentioned weeks ago that he's going to spend Holy Week with his family in Palawan.
Then I noticed something
really strange. My name is also included in the plane ticket. I thought I was also going to Palawan with his family, and because I can't read the location which is indicated on the plane ticket.
After a few seconds, he said,"
We're going to spend the rest of the Holy Week in Boracay."
I thought he was just joking around but he really meant what he said! I wanted to jump for joy but the backs of my heels and the arch of my feet ached like crazy.
That's why he didn't have any graduation gift nor bouquet of flowers because he was actually pursuing the Boracay trip.
Now I know why he always checks out different kinds of board shorts at bazaars. Now I know why he wanted me to wear boyleg cut bikinis at the beach. Now I know why he likes to purchase sunscreen with super high SPF!
We'll be with his brother and college friends. I just couldn't believe it until now. This is really unexpected.. I need to lose a few inches, then! Hahaha!
We bought ice cream from Scoopery as our dessert, after eating our ice cream, we already went home.
As a fresh graduate, I would like take the opportunity to travel and take some well-deserved time off before I work. Much have been said about Boracay, which left me rather curious of what is really in there. Hearing tons of Bora stories excites me. Now I could finally bury my two giant feet into its white powdery sands. Hope there is more to it than what I have heard! Bora-dise, here I come!

January 10, 2009Prelims week ko na starting next Monday and please please pray for me. I need your prayers, dear friends. Not just because of my grades, but also because me and my parents are having problems with financial stability. I'm a graduating student and I really have to finish school this year. I wouldn't elaborate the problem because it's very personal.. Friends, please pray for me and my family. I would really appreciate it. Thank you very much!
To those who voted for me at The 2009 Teentalk Awards..Just want to say thank you very much mga ate/girlies for the votes on our annual
Teentalk Awards. It warms my heart that someone appreciates the real me. I'm not posting this message to win or whatsoever, just the mere fact that you appreciate and accept me for who I am is more than enough for me. Again, thank you very much! Merry Christmas! Happy new year! God bless!
December 13, 2008Cherry VodkaIt's the time of year for merriment and many of us are prepping up and heading out with colleagues, friends or family for some celebrating. I attended the first Christmas party ever this year! It was held at RC's house (take note:Paranaque ang place). Quite a long trip, I must say. Nakapunta ako ng South area nang 'di oras! Haha. I was with my howe and his college friends at Asia Pacific College. Lots of food, gifts, good music and alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks. My fave was the binagoong rice made by ate Zara and lasagna.I feel like i'm already part of their barkada. Us girls had kris kringle (something sexy).After a hearty dinner, daldalan na ang lahat. They keep on teasing me and howe! I had cherry vodka and got pretty tipsy all night. Ralph had San Mig Light and El Cuervo, which is really something unusual for him. He doesn't drink, really. Lots of good food! Caldereta, chicken, buffalo wings, binagoong rice (super sarap!), lasagna. Drinks: El Cuervo, Coke, Vodka..with Maraschino cherries, of course! All in all, it was a really fun evening. Much better than I actually thought it would be.

SMILEY MOONHave you seen it?
The moon was making a smiley face!Armed with camera, I went outside and determined to take a photo of this one-of-a-kind scenery.

Me holding a real handgun!Megatrade Hall- SM Megamall
Howe's dad bought a new gun for self-defense, and
howe's getting addicted sa airsoft guns..Haha. Astig kasi I've seen different kinds of dangerous weapons in real life like shotguns, stun guns, airsoft merchandise, rifles, ammos, etc. Kasi naman kung sa Resident Evil, Silent Hill, at Metal Gear Solid, okay lang lahat gamitin dahil naka-infinite mode mga characters ko! Pero dito, hindi eh. Ang bigat nilang lahat, sa totoo lang..at ang price, whoa! I enjoyed this event, kahit na puro guys at pulis ang nakikita ko na nandito. Indeed, lumabas nanaman ang pagka-animus ko! Hahaha.
Sept 22, 2003We just had our taping at Us Girls with two of my friends Rayne and Kim, and of course with Chesca Garcia, Iya Villania and Angel Aquino. We just can't believe it up 'til now. Sobrang unexpected! Sa first venue sobrang napaaga kaming tatlo kasi we just followed the call time, tapos sobrang nagwo-worry si Rayne kasi baka raw scam! Haha. We went to a lot of different places for this segment. Nag-bowling kami, pumunta sa 80's-inspired resto, took lots of pics, kumain ng sobrang madami.. pumunta sa event na puro rock music. Grabe, ang dami!The staff and crew were really nice and fun to be with. Kasama pa kami sa van nila papunta sa mga venues at kahit sandali lang kami nagkasama, parang super close na namin lahat. Most of them are Kapampangans kaya sobrang click agad! Haha. I got the chance to take pics with the three beautiful hosts and some staff members.. Pinakamatagal namin nakasama si Chesca kasi she was the one who hosted our barkada treat segment. Sobrang happy din ako kasi howe was there nung taping he really waited for me hanggang sa matapos 'yun tapos nag-dinner kami at hinatid niya ako pauwi. Please watch Us Girls on Studio 23..Kabarkada mo! (September 28, 2008 at exactly 8pm) Thank you!
