2011 High School Reunion

It's been 15 years since we graduated in high school and yet we haven't had any single batch reunion yet since most of our classmates/batch mates have lived far away from our hometown and some have dealt with their busiest lives ever (and that includes me). Before the year ended in 2010, our brilliant minds have gathered and we finally decided to have a sort of a mini-gathering for our batch. We finally had it set on January 1, 2011.

Early morning of January 1, 2011, some friends and I have managed to gather some of our batch mates who were presently in our hometown on that very day, and we headed to the beach. It wasn't a great beach though but the place is just right for us to gather. We brought along foods and drinks with us and we spent the day just updating each of us with what's happening in our lives.

Here are some of the pics captured during our mini-gathering:



We missed some of our friends though but we promised we have to set another batch reunion where everyone could surely attend to it. :)

Getting Better and Better!:D

I can never thank GOD enough for bringing me wonderful days in 2011. Almost all of my days have been great and with my new approach to life to still be optimistic despite the negative issues around, it seems like everything falls into place. And guess what? I became less of a worrier this time and I thank GOD for leading me into this kind of attitude.

These days, what I'm after is to be happy and gay, trying to live life to the fullest. I knew there are a lot of things to be raised and some concerns to handle but I lift up everything to HIM. For as long as I'm doing the best that I could in everything in my everyday life, I think there's nothing to worry about.

Thank YOU really MY GOD for making my days light and great!:D

The Sunset Meme

Today we ripped off a blogger named Rol Hirst at the blog Sunset Over Slawit. We've ripped from him once before. He states that he doesn't remember where he stole it. But, it was probably stolen there as well. So, of course, that will be as far as we go. Tracing back our theft's thieves might take some time. Link back to us at Sunday Stealing!

One Month and Counting! :D

It's been more than a month now since the last temptation of keeping in touch with a lost soul took place. I should say I am happy about it because I manage to fulfill my promise of totally rubbing myself off from that so-called temptation I'm referring to.

Well so much had happened since the year 2011 started and my time is generally occupied with work stuff since I am just starting in a new environment.

But what's more important is, it's been more than a month and yet I am still counting to more months til I can finally laugh out at the whole thing. :D

The Ace Meme, Part Three

Today we ripped off a blogger named Ace of Hadeon from the blog My Heroes Have Always Been Scientists. Since it is 100 questions we will do it it in three parts. He stated he jacked this from Padme 18. But, it was probably stolen there as well. So, of course, that will be as far as we go. Tracing back our theft's thieves might take some time.

Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow

***This is a copy of the message I sent to someone who meant so much but had to let GO.

YESTERDAY, it was nice looking back at those good old memories we had, those sensible conversations that gave us a great sense of comfort. I knew in a way, I made yourself comfortable as evidenced by the lengthy conversations that we had. We talked about almost everything, even the not-so-important things which became something-to-talk-about later. Too bad, your heart have hardened with that one single incident and wrecking that once beautiful friendship despite my apologies even if that time I wasn't really sure if I was really to be blamed for its wreckage. I even chased after that friendship trying so hard to bring it back, but I failed until such time that I felt I was too drawn with the 'chase' - one stupid mistake I've made. The most stupid thing? I fell for someone, someone who used to be a friend but instantly became a stranger at some point, a 'someone' whom I knew could never be mine. Stupid thing, isn't it? I should say, it was hard moving on. I was lurked into situations which I never imagined I could experienced. But one thing I've learned about yesterday, it made me realized that I am still capable enough to care, despite considering myself having a hardened heart. I even became stronger. That most unforgettable part of yesterday was the good old memories we've shared where we can really be ourselves, that part of yesterday where good friendship was shared.

TODAY, I am thankful for every lesson learned in our friendship. Despite it's failure to make it work, I got many lessons to take with me as I go on with life. I am grateful having you as an instrument to make me become a strong person. You made me realized so many things to learn. I've learned to accept that some things aren't meant to be, that there just things not destined for me. I've even accepted the fact that I may not ever rebuild friendship with you. How much more in the art of loving, where I can never be your special someone because of the fact that I am not just the type of girl you would fall for. Acceptance really plays the key today. I am just so glad that despite the faults of that so-called friendship, bitterness is out of the picture. I didn't feel any of it. I never even entertained hatred and anger. I've learned to confidently deal with it.

TOMORROW, I know things will be better for me. I know something great is in store for me and I am very positive that I'd be facing my 'tomorrows' bravely because I've grown to become a strong and a confident person. My 2010 may be a painful year for chasing a lost friendship but perhaps a year of chasing is enough. I'd like to face my 2011 without ever thinking of chasing over that broken friendship. I'd like to totally move on, away from all the thoughts that used to envelop the whole of me. I want to have a peace of mind - my greatest wish for this year. I want to be FULLY happy. I became selfless for many years, and this time I'd like to focus on myself. I want you to be happy too. I also wish that the bitterness, anger, and hatred you might have for me will be totally gone, will be forever gone. I'd like to think only of the happy memories of my 'yesterdays' with your wonderful friendship, and nothing more. I'd like to keep the gift of your 'person' as one of my best memories.

I love you my friend and I will forever be grateful for that once beautiful friendship built.
