My celebration, my preparation.

This is my first-ever unusual birthday. Celebrators usually eat out and treat their friends or vice versa, but this time it's different. I already went out with my friends like a pre-celebration. But today, I celebrated it with my family along with my niece and nephews. My mom usually cooks or prepares for this day, but it has changed. To have a celebration, I have to do it myself. Well, there isn't a problem about that so I volunteered to cook something on my birthday. I already bought the ingredients in advance, but they weren't enough. That's why on the day itself of my birthday, I went out with my niece to buy some additional ingredients.


I woke up at 8 am because malls open at 10 am. I really intended to go there at an early time because I know that it'll take me almost half of the day to finish everything.


The Menu:

For the main course: Penne with red sauce,homemade garlic bread and hot dog on stick with marshmallows (it's common to have this during kids' parties. Mine is an exception haha)






For dessert: Chocolate steamed cake topped with red-colour white chocolate and pretzels stuck around it.





The Labour


I started cooking as soon as we got home which was around 12nn. I finished at almost 5 pm including eating in between ( I was so hungry and tired that I couldn't help it anymore. You can't function well if you're hungry, right? :D ). If you think it was exhausting to do that by yourself, well you're hell right. I was dead tired. But seeing the outcome of the dishes and family's reaction, I really felt accomplished and of course, happy. I just realized how difficult it is to prepare almost everything by yourself (My niece and nephews helped a bit. They were in charge of making some garlic bread.)


Thank God for today because it's a reminder of the time when I was born. I also feel grateful for the people who greeted and remembered my birthday. All in all, I'm happy! :)

Good Girls Go Gotcha!

It was just a sudden thought. Dianbel was the mastermind of this activity, but it turned out that everybody loves to try it except for Donabel (she wanted to go ice skating, but for others it wasn't interesting ANYMORE). Due to boredom and of course, we all wanted to see one another, we decided to pursue this plan. One of our friends wasn't able to join us due to his HECTIC schedule. Well, maybe he really is. :)

We decided to meet at 8am for our schedule time was set at 9am (it was made an hour earlier because of a reaction). It's better to be early because we don't want to get lost. It's gonna be a waste of time if it happens.

I arrived 30 minutes earlier than the scheduled meeting time. Few minutes later, everybody arrived. The last one was Dianbel who just lives maybe 15 minutes away from our meeting place (maybe that's usual for people who are near the meeting place-to be late).

We hailed an fx going to Antipolo and started the journey. Trusting manong the driver, we thought we could reach the place easily. But he didn't even know where the place is. We got off somewhere and needed to take a tricycle, but even them don't know the place. They were discussing,but it seemed that they really haven't got any idea. This made us wonder WHY. Anyway, to end that I just showed an improvised map which I drew. Then, they finally realized that we already passed by so we needed to go back again. What a waste. In the end, we were able to reach the area. We thought we could already start, but we were WRONG.

On that day, the van, which was supposed to take us there to the playing field was not available. In short, we need to walk on foot. It wasn't a problem for us. But since GOTCHA,the name of the paintball field we went, is located in Antipolo, the pathways are inclined and steep. This made us difficult to go downhill. We endured and finally we reached the place!

The adventure began. Although we were only four, we were able to experience something that we can cherish for the rest of our lives. I just can't imagine that at our age, we still think of these kinds of activities to amuse ourselves. I will always look forward to experiencing more activities to come. :)

How I spent my Valentine's Day

This is the first time that I celebrated this occasion alone. I mean most of the time I'm with my special someone, but this time, it's not the same as what it was used to be. It's not because I'm single. Well, I'm not.


My bf is living miles away from me. We've been having a long distance relationship. Actually, it's not the first time that I experienced this. It's my second time. So, why am I whining about this? Maybe because I'm envious (just a bit) of the couples around me. Last year, I was living somewhere in the Middle East (people there don't celebrate that kind of occasion), so I didn't really care about it. But since I'm already back here in my homeland, where you can find a lot of sweet couples everywhere, I feel affected of not being with him. But actually, I felt it was just an ordinary day at the end of the day (maybe I just thought of it to convince myself). So, how did my Valentine's Day go?


This weekend, I spent my days attending my niece and nephews field demonstration at my former school. I felt like I was a mom of those. I was taking their videos, letting them eat and taking care of them. "That's a responsibility", I thought. It's a rewarding experience for me to be with them. Maybe it's a preparation for me in the future (haha too early to think about it). Anyway, I had fun being with them and I forgot feeling lonely about not being with my bf. Well, he doesn't want me to be sad so I'm doing an effort not to feel that way.

First time

Dahil sa kabugnutuan, ayan naisipan ko tuloy gumawa ng blog. Sana lang eh mapanindigan ko 'to. Hindi ko kasi ugaling mag-sulat pero naisip ko lang na masubukan.


Good luck to me! haha :D
