boracay summer love ♥

after the very stressful (understatement) graduation prep, i know i deserve a little time off to sort my mind and to take in everything that's going on which happens to be very fast. march 21-26, 2011 will always be one of the best and blast week i had in my entire life. so im sharing this all to you.

this is where we stayed the whole time, owned by the llasos :)

on my way to bora island from caticlan jetty port

this was monday night! i was travelling with nicki but there was a group already ahead of us :)

bora welcomed us monday nyt at obama grill! cheers to the graduates!

just a random photo of me
Monday night capped off around 2am so some of my companions overslept! well, being a morning
person decided to stroll around alone on a sunny Tuesday morning.

i got myself inked- supposedly worth 150php but i haggled so its officically 50php nalang :)

that is how i look-- sarong plus two piece inside :)

after a lot of strolling, i was on my way home when i chanced to meet with maiden, franco, and neale! yeyy i was superbly happy kasi our group of 8 officially became larger in number! mas masaya to' the next few photos were taken during our long afternoon stroll on the same day!

say hello to the gang!

the happy shot- hindi naman kami masyadong masaya diba?

the long walk-- i was feeling artista the whole time, pinagbigyan nila ako by giving me paparazzi shots! hahaha

the next day was puka beach day-- its on the northern part of boracay and what's good with the place is hindi pa cya masyadong commercialized! same white-fine-sand but bigger waves and private feel and peg!

Grabe! i could not remember a single second na hindi kami masaya! everybody was carefree and laughing with the waves! woohooo! the next day was boating day! pa south trip naman kami. we will see what the south of bora has to offer!

another paparazzi shot! ang saya mag feeling artista choz!

the following day, we were supposed to go home already but because of too much fun i guess we extended and opted to enjoy bora one more day!

we were all mesmerized with such beautiful scene- the tremendously crashing waves!

there you go! the 5 days i get to spend in boracay with the people i care so much about has been one of the most unforgettable.i love the thought that we were all carefree and laidback and worry free..we were there to just enjoy and live and laugh (and yeah get wasted sometimes) and share a piece of each other's lives! thank you so much: Neale, Maiden, Ate Che and Harvs, Kay and Paul, Maricar, Ella, Boy, Nicki and Sam, Patrick, Franco, Angela, Rhexm, Tita and Tito Llasos. i look forward to another bonding time with you in the future!

best dinner ever! buffet at regency by soon to be mr & mrs braker, congrats you both! happy life ahead

some say, "WHAT HAPPENS IN BORACAY STAYS IN BORACAY" i beg to disagree coz i say, "what happens in boracay stays in my ♥" and some things just lasts longer than boracay-- friendship, happiness, and L♥VE! 

HAPPY SUMMER! X

an adaptation

she recalled that she and him would sometimes light cigarettes together and stare at the stars, saying nothing at all.other times, she would watch him play football or they would sing together to a familiar tune together.when they were riding on a rocking boat together, and she was near hysterics, he calmed her down and told her "we're safe, no worries" and she believed him.
one night, they went out to grab some food after a long and tiring day.a waiter asked for their orders.he was tired and his head was on her shoulders.he asked for the pizza menu, the waiter asked, "what flavor sir?" she interrupted, "we will both have veggie garden special and sola iced tea please..raspberry" she did know exactly what he wants.and she thought, "God, that's really weird that i know this person so well."

random message to you, yes you!

When I say, “I love you,” it’s not because I want you or because I can’t have you. It has nothing to do with me. I love what you are, what you do, how you try. I’ve seen your kindness and your strength. I’ve seen the best and the worst of you. And I understand with perfect clarity exactly what you are.

my farewell speech

hey im tremendously apologetic for all the delays :( i was just soo busy.so lemme first share my farewell speech which i made the night before graduation :)

Honored Guest, administrators, faculty and staff of CPAC, the graduating class splendor 2011, parents, guests, schoolmates and friends, good day! I have always been terrible with goodbyes. I’d rather do a welcome speech than this but I gathered all the creativity I mastered so I can do this without sounding too emotional and too high school. So here I go.

4 years ago or a little more than that for others, we all came to CPAC with one goal in mind—that is to finish college, get a degree and get on with whatever life has to offer. In between that time and now, a tapestry of events has beautifully intertwined to let us all come to this sought-for event, our graduation. We all have our own stories to tell for sure. But before I even start to think of sharing mine, I only have 3 things to tell you before we take our final bow.

Number 1, we didn’t do this alone. A lot of people are responsible for this success and it’s just right to appreciate their efforts and give them the credit. Teachers, parents, mentors you have done a great deal in forming us and making us the persons that we are now.

But in a very special way, I would like to give appreciation to the senior class sponsors. It’s a must to mention your names: Mam delcy, Donna, Mam Mantos, Mam Vicsel and Sir Tanilon—CPAC is  fortunate to have you. It takes a lot of patience, hardwork, and creativity to come up with a 3 day event like this. And that’s minus the enormous responsibilities you have in your departments. I salute you for the extraordinary dedication you have for events like these. Thank you so much for sharing the stress and burden that we all have encountered during the process.

Number 2, real life starts now. The moment we leave this school, many of us will be starting at those entry level jobs that will be the beginning of our careers. I say, never settle for anything mediocre. Strive for excellence. Make CPAC proud of the kind of minister, the kind of nurse, the kind of teacher, the kind of engineer that you are and you’re going to be. Be visionary. Be an agent of change. Be a contributor of first-class service to the society.

Our contribution to the world will not be measured by the money we make or the certificates we receive rather by the way in which we share our unique gifts with the world. And the only way to find those gifts is within you. Cultivate that innate desire to be a leader, to be a friend and to be of service.

So go forth Splendor 2011, make your own contribution!

Lastly, I want you all to remember, that with God on our side, “aal izz well” so dream big, take risks, make the most out of your lives, take chances and when something goes wrong just put your right hand on your chest and say, “aal izz well, aal izz well” splendor 2011, can we all do that now? “aal izz well, aal izz well”

And with that mantra in mind, I bid CPAC Farewell!

there you go X

on bad days and ill-fated events

today is march 10, exactly 7 more days for our graduation.the feeling seemed surreal.i want to feel the excitement , the happiness, and satisfaction but what happened today was something which totally burned me out.

what could possibly wrong 7 days before the graduation day? well, read on and you'll know.

BOO-BOO #1: today's supposed schedule is completion for the clearance because next week will be our exams.but we just found out that the clinical coordinator won't allow us to do just that because we have to complete the number of hours for graduation. how lame is that? ever since i stepped on to cpac, it is imperative that a week before the closing if the semester we are allowed a free time for the long-listed clearance signers! (it is as if the office hours is 24/7, duhh?!)

BOO-BOO #2: since we have class today, there was group reporting for SPED-- i asked my team mates to do the report because i was busy with graduation program.they said yes but when i came to the classroom-- it wasn't prepared yet and i have to do the necessary edits so we can have a presentable report, graded at that!

BOO-BOO #3: sir tanilon sent me the tarp which is supposed to welcome the guests and the parents for the graduation.guess what? the tarp was horribly large (9x13 ft) with nothing written on it but SPLENDOR! plain and simple. if you are to look at it, how would you even know it is the graduating the class.not even a congratulations banner on top!!

BOO-BOO #4: i have 4 shifts extension! that means 24 hours on the floor to be completed just before the clinical graduation.

BOO-BOO #5: sir tapaya said my rle record book is already found way before he went on vacation.he gave it to mam g but when i confronted mam g she dint even have a single idea bout it.she assured me with this, "ti indi ka gid na ka graduate" :(((

sorry for all the rants. i just feel soo frustrated because the events and the people has not been on my side so far. i feel double the pressure because aside from my personal requirements, i have the whole graduation program to oversee.

SO HELP ME GOD!
