Oh yeah, I got a somewhat new-ish layout in it's all about him. Plus I posted a looong kind of rant and a story from Kat. :) Comments and such are very much welcome.
I was reading some parts of the Bible last night, namely the books Isaiah and Job...I just realized how much God has been true to His promise to us and how much He is willing to answer our prayers and everything. He's just so good. :)
"In the time of Noah I promised never again to flood the earth. Now I promise not to be angry with you again; I will not reprimand or punish you. The mountains and hills may crumble, but my love for you will never end. I will keep forever my promise of peace." - Isaiah 54:9-10
"The Lord said: 'I was ready to answer my people's prayers, but they did not pray. I was ready for them to find me, but they did not even try. The nation did not pray to me even though I was always ready to answer: Here I am, I will help you.'" - Isaiah 65:1-2
See how good He is?

I'd like to plug Leng for her blue layout. :) I love that shade you used. :D
I'm off 90 miles outside Chicago.

Been online for three hours already. But can I just say? I love Hey Arnold!. It's probably my favorite Nicktoon ever. Haha...surfing Hey Arnold! sites right now, and wonders if I could make a layout out of it. :)
No, really. My most recent posts are not showing!!!!
I can't see my recent posts. =/ Bleh.
And I don't seem to be home at night these times. Last night I was at a meeting. The other night I was at a youth camp support. The night before that, I was at Eastwood. And the night before that night, I was at the Center. I'm starting to have a night life...and I'm not nocturnal. ^^; Or else I need to adjust or whatever.
Ergh.
Sometimes, I can't help somewhat regretting that I am going to study at DLSU...because I'm going to school earlier than most people...I mean, you know, I could've studied in UP Diliman, and go to school in June, but no, I didn't. Well...as they say, you should never regret the choices you made in life...learn to appreciate them! Besides, I know I'll have a great time studying there. I have to make some sacrifices, but then again, no pain, no gain!
Westlife's World of Our Own is on TV...I swear, sa sobrang kasikatan nila, nagiging jologs na sila!

I was supposed to visit a site but I forgot where. =/ My bad.
Really, I forgot where to go. Eh.
I think ubiety's down right now. =/ Pfft.
Watching Westlife's Angel at Vid-Ok...hehe. I remember Tsh's comment about that. She told us that when she dies, she wants Angel by Sarah MacLachlan to be played, not the Westlife one. If they played the Westlife one, she would rise again. Hehe. :D
Anyway...I'm bored. I slept right after going to mass and having breakfast at McDo. Had a minor argument with my mom about the youth camp again. I don't know why she has to force us to change the date from May 17-19 to May 10-12, when we're clearly out of time. We can't even confirm the place yet! =/ Argh...it's so annoying. And I actually felt pressured today, not like the other days when I was pretty calm about everything. I'm feeling pressured already...it's like we're only three who are moving, and it's not enough.
Oops. I think I need to pray more.
Sorry, Lord.
But it's just so pressuring. =/ And this is not only for the unit, but also for my school. The school I'm handling and everything.
Lord help me. Help us.
Britney's I'm not a girl, not yet a woman is playing on Vid-Ok...sabi na nga bakla 'to eh...di daw sya girl. Ooookay....fine, corny na.

Talk about the Grim Reaper at work again. =/ TLC's Lisa Lopes died in a car crash. =( And she was my favorite too. =(
Welcome back, Gauxie! :)
We went around for a while, and decided to go around the tiangges because I wanted to buy an anklet. :) I bought three, then while looking at the chokers, Chris and I decided to go where the music was -- there was a Wave 89.1 gig because it's their anniversary or something. And guess who's there, having some sort of mini concert? [read more]

I just realized that I don't have the rings/cliques code up for the entire site since I had the new layout. Oops. My boo boo. :) Anyway, it's there now. Yay.
Finally caught up to Friday Five! Yes!
1. What are your hobbies?
I used to cross stitch before, but sewing only one color gets boring at times. =/ Anyway, I read, go on the Internet, surf, Internet, write, go to mall...hang out...Internet. Oh, did I say Internet? Hehe...see how much of an Internet addict am I? ;)
2. Do you collect anything? If so, what?
Notebooks and pens. Oh yeah, dolls too. Mostly stuffed toys. Books as well.
3. Is there a hobby you're interested in, but just don't have the time/money to do?
Collecting Archie Comics. I wanted to, but I'm financially challenged. =/
4. Have you ever turned a hobby into a moneymaking opportunity?
I used to rent books...and sell some books. I also sell personalized CDs but I get tired of downloading all those mp3s.
5. Besides web-related stuff (burbs, rings, etc.), what clubs do you belong to?
Hmmm...I'm a member of Youth for Christ. I'm proud of that. During high school, I was a member of the Student Council and the newspaper. :)

I don't know why there is so much bashing in PEx's The Academe forum. It seems like the only forum with so much bashing around. =/ Bleh. And all they keep on fighting is around UP, UST, Ateneo, and La Salle. Eh?!
Anyways, go give Lei a biiiig hug, 'coz her layout's purple! :) Ahah! :)

Wohooo! Congratulate me! I actually commuted!
Well, I did take a cab...but then again...I did commute. I promise to ride a jeep sometime...really, I do. I just thought hailing a cab would be less of a hassle. :)
Anyway, be back later. My posts doesn't seem to be showing up.

Well. This is fun. I'm actually commuting by myself later, on the way to the CFC Center. Kuya Kim can't go, Louie can't go, and Ryan can't go. For the last two, give me a moment to comment: As usual. :P
Anyway, bakit kasi kami lang ang taga dito sa area namin na HPV eh! Sana me madagdag naman diba?
My mom knows I'm going to commute later...I need to pray about it. God will keep me safe and everything. I believe that. I'm just not used to commuting all on my own. I'm used to going with someone always. Eh....I'm just not used to it. I'm used to either commuting with someone or being dropped off at the place.
So...do pray for me as well. I'm not going to the meeting till around 4:00 p.m., so I still have a lot of time to condition myself. Hey, if I could pull people to go to Galle, then that's cool. But then again...no.
Hey, maybe Michael's back or something? Nah. Never mind about him.
On another note...I'm getting sick of the smell of Laminates...the one the salon gave me to put in my hair because I got it straightened...some kind of conditioner. I used to love the smell...now I'm sick of it. =/ Bleh. And right now I'm quite hungry. And they (the people who are supposed to go here) are not yet here. Hmph.
I'm still thinking on the commuting thing. Lord, please let the weather be nice? No rains or dark clouds or whatever?
Look. God is so good...the sun's shining right now. A while ago it was a bit dark. Thank You, Lord! =)
I know God would guide me when I commute. I know He will. =) Keep me safe, Lord.

Oooh...I'm chatting with Maan right now...and she's actually here at my site! :) *waves* Hi Maan! :)
And speaking of God, the Big Guy in the Sky...I actually basked in His presence earlier. I have no other word for it but "bask". Ate Grace just left, and then I was cleaning up the house and I was playing Avalon's Oxygen album then I sat down and I felt like praying, and so I did. I felt an incredible peace mixed with happiness. [read more]
Guess what I've been doing the whole day.

I can't believe it.
I can't believe I'm at IRC again. Anyway...it does get boring there...since I'm not that known...and I actually don't know where chatroom I would go to...if you want to talk to me...go look for |tina| or |tina28| or sometimes |t|na|. No more mihana...depends on what server or whatever. Go look for me...and tell me any chatrooms to go to?
So far...I think I've seen Nadia and Mixz...and of course, I've chatted with buddy! :)
La lang...
Come on, people! :)

I'm actually chatting in mIRC right now...whoa. :) It's been like...two years already. Anyway...I'm not used to it. ^^; I feel like a complete stranger.
Any chatrooms to recommend? Someplace fun and wholesome though. Please?

Is it just me, or is my site a mix of the temp and the new layout? I'm seeing the content of the new layout on index.shtml but the old gray background. Eh? And I've liked, cleared history for a gazillion times and I'm still seeing it like that.
Eh?
I need a favor. If you're seeing my site like this, please tell me. If you're not seeing it like that, can you please send me a screenshot of it? Either email me or sign the book or just comment.
This is so frustrating, you know that?

Anyway, I don't know if I'll be able to write anything tonight...if I don't, I'll get back at you tomorrow. Thanks to all the emails and the people who signed my book. I'll get back at you soon. =)
Oh yeah, one more thing:

For some reason...I feel kind of...apprehensive or something to the SHOUT. I mean, I want to go...but somehow, I feel like I don't want to leave home and such. Like I'll be homesick and everything. Like my unit-mates would resent me for not being there during the meetings. Like...you know. It's like I want to go but don't want to at the same time. =/
Away Satan. Away from me. Get away.
Cast out my doubts, please prove me wrong, 'coz these demons can be so headstrong...
Lord, I don't want to fight this alone...fight it for me...please?
Really. It's like leaving home would leave me something important, but I know there's...nothing that I would leave important. Or maybe I'm just nervous.
It's the exact same thing I experienced before going to the Kasangga Congress in Bataan.
Argh. Stop it. Away from me Satan. Get away from me. Go find someone else to pester, not me.
Lord help me.

Oh yeah, did I tell you?
I don't want to be homesick this week.
So please pray I don't get homesick. I think I'll have a lot of fun to be homesick, but you know. I'm a homebuddy.
So I hope I don't get homesick.

Oh, look, I'm still here. Hehe. :) I won't be leaving till noon, plus the fact that I haven't really packed yet, so how can I leave? And I miraculously, I still have Internet -- make the most out of it! Hehe.
Anyway...I posted a journal entry already, but as long as I have Internet, I'll be updating you here, before I leave.
I woke up earlier and I can't believe it was raining. Normally, I like rain especially when I wake up because it doesn't make me feel hot when I wake up, but I'll be going to the Center! I do not like rain when I'm supposed to be going out. I can just see myself and Kuya Kim lugging around our bags in the rain and riding a G Liner with it.
Think I should bring a stroller?
Nah. I don't think so.
AHAH! THE SUN IS SHINING! Thank God...now how about me getting a ride later, when I go to Bobbit's house? =) God provides...really He does.
You know, waking up this early reminds of those high school days (I can't believe I'm referring to that like that -- those high school days). Ah...the memories. How sweet. =) Bet ya I'll still be doing that in college.
I haven't packed fully yet...my clothes are just strewn around in my room...bleh. And I'm still waiting for my shorts to be laundered (is that right?) and dried...sooo...there. In short, I haven't really packet yet. Bleh.
Switchfoot rocks. I like them. Their songs serve double purpose...one of personal life and one of spiritual life. How nice. At least it's applicable to both. I'm going to burn a CD before I leave. Learning to Breathe is heavenly.
Me thinks I'll go and take a bath now and pack and such. I still can't find my bag...bleh. Anyway, if I don't post again, then I won't post till Sunday night or something...unless I find an Internet cafe or there is a computer there. But if not...see you then!
I still want comments about this layout. This is only, like, two days old. =)
Anyway...I posted a journal entry already, but as long as I have Internet, I'll be updating you here, before I leave.
I woke up earlier and I can't believe it was raining. Normally, I like rain especially when I wake up because it doesn't make me feel hot when I wake up, but I'll be going to the Center!

I don't know if I'll still have this Internet tomorrow...sooo...I'll make the most out of it. I'll be gone for a week -- YES, I'm going to SHOUT. Hehe. So I'll probably be back on Sunday night with lots of stories to share.
In the meantime...make me feel loved even when I'm gone, okay?
If I post tomorrow, then I still have this account. If not, see you on Sunday. =)
God bless!

And now Patricia's home, safe and sound. I don't know if she and her brother are still biting each other's heads off as we left (hopefully, they're not), but I'm glad that they're okay, at least. I mean, it's normal for siblings to bite each other's heads off once in a while...but at least hopefully, they'll be okay...and Patricia will probably be able to come to our Youth Camp. Hehe...she's already been exposed to YFC humor. [read more]
New layout! Yehey...saya. Anyway, I'm still fiddling with the pictures page, so forgive me if they go over the alignment...and I"m still testing the page and such. They should work. Really, they should.
And I should take a bath now because I have a meeting in 40 minutes. Oops.
comments, anyone?

I'm here to be all positive and such. This is supposed to go on the journal, but what the heck.
We had a cluster event yesterday, and as I was sharing my experiences in the ILC, I now know what God's message for us is. As they say, you only appreciate the good things in life once you get exposed to the bad things and such. I think God wanted us to appreciate the things we normally took forgranted. Like the homes, the water, the fan, and other good things we didn't have there. It's like, He made us go through the entire ordeal so we can be humble and appreciate the things we are fortunate enough to have.
I can't believe it. I actually heard God talking to me last night. *whoa*
Thank You, Lord. Now I see the thing about "listening" to God and such. Well, sort of. I need to listen to God more often...like always.

It's so late, it's already early, but I'm still up. How is that. I'm waiting for my cellphone to charge. And I need to wake up early because tomorrow I have a party. hehe.
I'm listening to Goo Goo Dolls' Black Balloon right now, and I'm reminded of my early senior months. Awww.... ;_; the memories.
I can't believe I only have P1.50 left on my prepaid...and I just bought this last week! God...I need to ask for a new one. Bleh. ><
Anyway, I think I'll really be going to SHOUT, even with the doubts and such.. I need to have some bonding times and such, and it would be nice. To be away from home, but still be home and such. You know that?
Wait...what is SHOUT anyway? SHOUT stands for Summer House Training, and people stay at one house for one whole week, learning from each other...basically living with each other and such. That's it. I think there are sessions during the night. It's like your temporary home for the week. I suppose it would be fun -- I'd be sacrificing the St. Paul farewell party, unfortunately. =/ Oops. But then...
God? I need You.
Patricia's watching Charlie's Angels right now. And I'm getting quite sleepy. Ooops. Hehe. I don't know if she'll watch Pearl Harbor too. Whatever. I'm sleepy. I'll just finish the download of Warrior is a Child and off to dreamland.

Today, we had a cluster evaluation at Marikina Riverbanks. It was fun -- bonding stuff and such. It made me realize that East A2 will always be my home away from home. I don't know why I ever felt alone or why I ever took them forgranted -- these guys are my second family. [read more]

Just when I thought my night would be as boring as the next, then comes Patricia. Patricia (a schoolmate) called me last night and asked if she could come over and everything. I told her no because it was late. Then she told me just to sleep for in the night. Turns out she ran away because her older brother beat her up and all. So we let her sleep for the night.
Now I feel like I'm being a bad friend and something because...well, honestly, I don't know what to do. My conscience just hit me last night because she's a girl and she's alone and what could happen to her and such. I do not know how to fix things at home for her...I know that's not my job, but you know? She can't hide here forever...eventually, she has to go home and all. But it hurts me in a way that she'd be going home and she wouldn't be treated as she should be.
What to do, what to do...
Now she's in my room and I don't know what she's doing. I need to check up on her and all.
I ask you to pray for her situation right now...I mean, it's not so dire and all, but she could get rebellious and such, and she might get into something she shouldn't. So please, pray for her.

I can't help it. Just gotta plug kikaykit.net. =)
They say boys like the attention
They say boys like the attention. Like the simple hi's and hello's and musta na and the text message.
They say boys like it if you pay special attention to them.
They say boys like it if you take your time to send a quote to him once a day or something.

Plugs!
+ Ate Cla goes simple. But then, simple = beautiful. :) *goes green with envy with the Flash* =)
+ Tanya's layout may not be that new, but I like it anyway, so she deserves a plug. :)

Lately, I seem to be having difficulties in making decisions. I'm not a risk-taker, I guess. But it sucks to think of all the decisions I make as if they're a matter of life and death. Why can't I make up my mind like that so I spare myself all the trouble? You know that? It's so infuriating that I have to think of every single decision I make. I suppose it's a good trait? Or maybe I'm just being fickle about everything. [read more]
Oh scratch that...it's here. Unfortunately, the graphics and such are not working. ^^; But you may read. :)
Never mind. Deleted the archives again. Bleh.
I'll fix it sometime..again.
I wonder if any of the charm clubs are still alive? If you're wondering what they are, they're this old group clubs of sort. You have a charm sheet to put in your site (kind of like this) and you give people your charm (a piece of graphic) as an endowment, and then that person has to return the favor to you. It's a way to meet friends and such, and to make graphics. ^^; Hehe. I remember...I was a part of the Good Luck Friends Society (GLFS), The Lunar Friendship Society (TLFS), StarBrite Charm Club, Butterfly Trinket Society, Charmed Ones, ABC Charms and, the most organized, by far, Starchilde Charm Club. I don't know what happened to the rest. ^^; Anyway...I used to be Purple Star, Lady Lavender and Mihana.
Now you know where the first years of my webdesigning mostly went to. :)
I wonder if any old members are still on the web...if you were a member, do tell me. Let's have a chat or something. Hehe. :)
I don't want to jinx it...sooo...I'll keep my mouth shut. :x
Anyway...I'm just in the mood to blog. hehe. I was rereading some Sweet Valley Kids book earlier...hehe. How fun.

And that's the story. I'm quite over it for now, thank God for it. And I'm refraining from thinking about him because it hurts. I sound like, I'm so heartbroken, but I'm not. But then, you know how much it hurts to know or at least realize that the guy you've been loving/liking for so long may never fall for you? [read more]

What is it with boys anyway? Are they that numb to girls' feelings and all? Let's be specific: what's with him? Is he really that numb? Or does he know already? Or maybe it's me. [read more]
I asked for signs
I wanted to give up.
I promised to let it go.
I want it to be gone.
But I want it to stay as well.

Do that tomorrow, maybe...or later. Depends. Anyway. I think I grew a few shades darker and all...anyway.

They don't know that I come running home when I fall down...They don't know who picks me up when no one is around... - "Warrior is a Child" by Gary Valenciano
Watching Rico Yan's final hours at ABS-CBN. =( The homily was wonderful. Thank You for my life, God. Thank You. I was watching the Whattamen special last night, and I was still on the unbelief stage, especially when I'm watching some of his videos and such. He's just so young and everything. And the Talk and Text commercial was touching.
Somehow, I can just imagine him up there in Heaven, and he's seeing everyone here, and he's saying, "Lord, this is so cool! Ang galing! Look! All these people really loved me! I actually touched them and helped them! All my work wasn't a waste then? Wow! Thank You for letting me live, Lord!"
Something like that. :D
Good bye, Rico.
Mrs. Neo and I talked yesterday and she asked me where I was studying, and I told her that I will be studying in DLSU. Then she said, "Are you going to follow Rico's footsteps?" And I answered, "Not with the early death, I hope." Then she said, "As a youth leader, I meant."
Tomorrow's the ILC! I still need to prepare my things and all. :)
A new layout (hopefully) on the way now.
PLUG:
+ Yam because she linked me, now I'm linking her. =)

But then, I've said it once, I'll say it again -- I love my YFC brothers and sisters. They were always there when I needed them. So much for being "alone" there, eh? It all changed. I let it out to Maan and Kuya Kim and Kuya Gary, and it felt a bit better. [read more]
Received an email from Edsamail, and it's no longer free. =/ Darn! It's either I get a pop3 somewhere, or convince my dad to agree to pay for one account. I'm going to have to sacrifice an account then. ^^; Ergh.
Oh well.
Monday, April 1
I'm listening to Testify to Love by Avalon. =)
Anyway, right now I'm watching tributes to Rico Yan here, both from ABS-CBN and GMA 7. It's just...so sad. ;( I should've watched MTB earlier...I wished I had. ^^; Correspondents will be showing the entire Rico Yan tribute.
We were supposed to go to LSGH (where Rico's wake is), but there were so many people! And besides, we're late already. ^^;
And everyone is crying. I want to cry too. (Not only for that reason, but for another -- read journal.)
There's a tribute to Rico Yan at Unang Hirit. Sigh.
And we do have plans on going to his funeral at La Salle Greenhills, before going to the sendoff.
Now to type my essay.
