wow, its been seventeen overwhelming years of living. yes, heard it right, i just turned seventeen today. gettin' older. haha. but still the same. i still got this big kid in me. always looking for so much fun and laughter. God has nurtured me through and through even i have several shortcomings. true love. i really believe in the bible scripture which says "i will keep you fruitful even at old age." haha. so much for thinking am sooooo old. haha. but its true. everyday we grow old, every single day we learn something, everyday we become better. fruitful in God's name. an awesome day. even without a blow out party for the celebration, i did manage to be happy as i turn 17. spending the whole day with my family was enough, playing with my cute neph. i couldn't wish for more. hehe. cheers! heres to the next years to be fruitful! God bless!

my summer was spent fine. minus the luxury and the glamour of being in beaches and somewhere else. finding a busy me in a summer job at my family's small architectural business firm. can't help but work over the summer to gain some bucks and spend it elsewhere. haha. being an intern and assistant, i've got my old hobbyback into business. reading books. yes, you read it right. books. i do have a passion in reading novels, i just feel the story right away and its fun to imagine the things being portayed by the author. i started last week. i bought a book authored by funny writer janet evanovich, "one for the money", the first of the stephanie plum books, and to tell you, it was very interesting. having to describe steph plum as a woman who just got out of a bad marriage, lost her job, and no financial source. harsh. yah, but later on she became a bounty hunter. fetchy right. its so funny though some parts could be horrific i'd say. i had finished the book and i am now on my second novel, again written by janet evanovich collaborated with charlotte hughes, "full blast", and as far as i have read, it was such a treat. that's me, finding humor in books. a past time during my internship this summer. books still and are entertaining, even with modern technology, nothing is as slick and simple as a book with a cute cover. hehe. try reading. you'll be able to enhance your imagination.

huhu, sobs, what a dramatic night it was. we, the senior classes, marched through the enlightened red carpet with the spotlight on us as we have the solemn ceremony of "au revoir" high school. its graduation day. true, its sad, but there were mixed emotions. as the candidates for graduation were presented, awards were given, fortunate to get three haha, happiness filled each graduate's heart. every applause rendered to our fellow batchmates came truely from the heart. a very inspiring message was delivered by our guest speaker about how to stay focused despite of the ups and downs in our lives, as an individual striving to have a successful future, living and according to God. truely inspiring. taking the oath to the alma matter was one sad part. i've been in CSI since kindergarten. for twelve years that school became a daily routine, a family, a home. am sure to be dubbed as a "true bonafide student" of CSI. haha, well check my loyalty awards. hehe. we are alumni now. on the verge of a new life transition from an average teen to a mature young adult. graduation is all a student could ask for after all the hardwork, perseverance and strife. i could not be more happy than seeing my family so proud of me. but not to forget the best pals that also were close to the heart. we'll go on seperate ways, true, go on to different universities and colleges, but am sure that we'll always hold on to the promise of "best friends forever". congratulations fellow graduates. 'till then. xoxo.
