It's our 2nd month. Happy 2nd month baby! I'm pretty optimistic that more months will come! haha. Love you!...

Employed!

In a span of two days, the number of valid IDs that I have jumped from one to four. Aside from my Driver's License, i now have my BIR TIN ID, PhilHealth ID and of course my Professional License! wohooo! aside from that, i also now have my SSS number and my very own LandBank account. I  underwent medical check-ups and filled-up many forms as well. And all that happened because of one very important thing - i'm EMPLOYED! yohooo! I'll be...

Something inspiring for me and maybe for you as well! Hope we'll never grew tired of giving whatever we can to others! :...

CC goes Coca-Cola

The Creative Circle or CC never fails to amaze me. From a small group of talented social work students of BUCSSP, CC is continuously evolving into something else and into something better. I believe it also continues to break expectations and go beyond the perception of other people. I guess pushing for the formal creation of this group is one of the best things that I did when I was the president of the Human Welfare Advocates way back 2011. Just...

Big Ass Fans

Presenting... ang bad big ass fans ng LCC Mall Naga! At first, na-curious ako kung bakit big ass ang pangalan pero after some research, now i know that Big Ass Fans is a brand of industrial fans. hahaha. salamat sa Big Ass Fan ng LCC, may bagong learning ako! ...

Peñafrancia 2013

It's September once again and in a few days, all roads will lead to Pilgrim City of Naga as the city (and the entire Bicol Region as well as the whole country) celebrates the 303rd year of devotion to Our Lady of Peñafrancia. As a Nagueño and a devotee of Ina, I don't have any other words to say but VIVA LA VIRGEN and VIVA EL DIVINO ROSTRO! :)) PS. Pictured above is one of the stained glass pieces that can be found in the Basilica Minore...

At Dusk

I am always fascinated with the beauty and awesomeness that the sky has to offer during dusk and since I had the opportunity, I tried to capture a view of the Naga City CBD II Skyline at dusk from the window of a room in the third floor of the newly opened NICC Doctor's Hospital. I really like the pic and I hope you like it too!...

Some of Isarog's Marvels

My father went to a hiking trip recently with his college org mates somewhere in Curry, Pili part of Mount Isarog and he went home with a breathtaking pictures of the two hidden and virgin falls with clean and cool waters. Makasama nga next time! ...

Happy Birthday Ruksii Baby! :)

Wow Cubao!

Spent some time in Cubao going around SM Cubao, Gateway Mall and Ali Mall with Ruksii and Pareng MJ. After more or less six (6) hours, we ended up with the items pictured above. That's what we call Shopping Galore! Hahaha. Excited to do that again soon! :...

FIELD INSTRUCTION 2 DIARIES: 2

A day after (January 16, 2013) I wrote my first entry in my FI 2 Diaries, I wrote the second and the last entry and here is it: All the while, I thought things will eventually fall in it's proper places. Something like a bad start with a happy ending. But i was wrong. Expectations have been broken. Positivity is winding down and every passing day becomes a struggle to hold on and survive. I thought this journey is something exciting, something genuine, something worth while and something worth remembering. But reality tells me otherwise. I don't...

Field Instruction 2 Diaries: 1

During one of the most trying times that I experienced during Field Instruction (or OJT for other degrees), I tried to pour my emotions out through writing. I entitled it Field Instruction 2 Diaries. Sadly, I only came up with two (2) entries due largely to the never ending requirements that I need to accomplish and comply. Nonetheless, i decided to put the two entries here and so here is my first catharsis dated January 15, 2013. It's the...

Ang aking kalokalike. Bow.

A former classmate who is fond of calling me JL which is short for John Lloyd made this and she uploaded and shared it in facebook with my permission. HAHA. She calls me JL because during our sophomore years, i would always claim that I look like John Lloyd. Ayun, nasanay na ata siya kaya yun na ang tawag niya sakin. hoho. Hmm. Regarding the pic, nag-expect pa naman ako dahil sabi niya sa text katulad daw ng picture ko. Yun pala, kakulay ng...

BucketList 1

I just thought of starting listing down some things that i would love to accomplish before I die of whatever causes here in my blog so that it can be kept here and will always be available for me to see. Well, earlier today, i watched a video about kissing in the rain and poof! I said to myself that i would want to experience that with her. Thus, kissing in the rain is my first entry in my bucket list. Of course, her would refer to someone...

Testi

I had been lucky to be a part of the organizing team of the 3 out of 4 testimonial rites that was conducted by the Social Work Department since 2009. In fact, I acted as the head of the organizing team twice. As always, tasks were arduous and things were being given attention and being checked to the last and smallest details. Yung tipong dapat ay no stones are left unturned. Organizing such activity (which was simultaneously being...

After posting my 'catharsis' in facebook regarding my failed attempt to land a spot in the Top 10 of the Social Work Licensure Examination, a former professor of mine, sent me a private message and pretty much reminded me of the things that i should have given more attention to. I just thank God for giving me a teacher like Sir Jori! Though we're not close, i guess the fact that he sent a private message indicates his care to his former...

SP Resolution No. 2013-167

One reason why I am proud that I am a Nagueño is because Naga is a haven of responsible and responsive leaders. The resolution passed by the Sangguniang Panlungsod is one of the testament that the City Council really serves as the voice of the Nagueños. Congratulations to all the councilors especially to Councilor Gabby Bordado! #Save651! :))) photo courtesy of Councilor Gabby Bordado F...

#Save651

I must admit that during the first time i heard about the project of DPWH about transforming the current two-lane maharlika highway to a four-lane highway, my ears clapped and my heart was filled with joy. Come to think of it, widened highways aside from booming infrastructure are somehow indicators of progress. But when things started sinking into me, i started feeling ambivalent towards it because of the immaterial and irreparable costs that...

Operation Initiate

During my whole stint in college, i always wonder when will the alumni (as a group) visit or even give something in return to the department. Of course, since my mother was a alumna herself, i know of some reasons why that's why i understand why in the world would they not want to return especially that i also experience perhaps some of the experiences that brought them to that decision. But i guess whatever reasons we have, there is still something...

A Fresh Start

After hours of searching, selecting, editing, finalizing and many other processes, I now have my new and enhanced blogsite. By the way, i decided to transform this blog as a photoblog. Soon posts will be posted. :)...

Cheers! :)

I dreamed of reaching the top and i failed. Not only did i dreamed but i also gave my best shot but my efforts were somehow futile. I was disappointed with myself and i have no one and nothing to blame except myself. I was scared about what other people might say. About their expectations that i failed to meet and about what they will be saying. That was my initial reaction. But now, i'm over it. I accepted things as they were and as they...
