 "My Amnesia Girl"

Comedy or Tear-jerker?  

Madaming tanong yung pumasok sa isip ko nung pinanuod ko tong pelikulang to. Naisip ko na bakit nga may mga lalaki na di kayang panindigan ang mga desisyon na ginawa nila? Bakit takot na takot sila sa commitment? Don't they have the balls to do it? 

Sa tingin ko, kaya nagiging ganito ang mga lalaki ngayon, kasi kasalanan din ng mga babae. Bakit nga naman sila mag-co-commit sa isang babae kung pwede rin naman nilang makuha ang mga benefits ng "in a relationship" kung single sila. 


I just want to share this favorite quote of mine from the book "Boy meets Girl" by Joshua Harris


Guys, I want you to think about this quote. Ano ba ang courtship para sa inyo? Yun ba yung kapag gusto mo siya ngayon liligawan mo na agad? Dapat isipin niyo din paano sa future? Nakikita niyo ba na yung babaeng liligawan niyo na makakasama niyo forever? Learn to pray. Ask for His guidance. 

Girls, know your worth. Wag niyo gawin ang mga bagay na dapat lalaki ang gumagawa. Wait patiently. Pray while waiting. Don't date a guy that you can't see yourself to be with. 

Sana dumating yung oras na wala ng babaeng iiyak dahil nasaktan ng isang guy na hindi ready sa commitment. If di pa kayo ready, wag niyo na ituloy. Hindi naman trial and error ang love. Minsan nagkakamali ang tao pero dun tayo natututo. 

Why do people fall? So they'll know where to pick their selves up. ♥ :)

Smile. Pray. Forgive.







Tatay's 90th


This is the happiest moment of my life so far.

 Three weeks before the 90th Birthday of Lolo, my aunt form Canada, Tita Lyn,
asked us to prepare a surprise birthday party for his Tatay (our lolo).

I must admit, the preparation was so tiring. 

On the day itself, my lolo was very sad because his Apos and Anaks were teasing him. We kept saying "Happy birthday Tatay Walang Handa". Di niya lang alam na after church, napagusapan na namin nila tita kung paano siya dadalhin sa venue. 


On their way to the venue, My lolo asked Tita Gi "San ba tayo pupunta? Bakit parang di ko naman alam tong lugar na to?" My brother answered: "Tay, punta tayong LUGAWAN kasi diba birthday mo.. Libre ko kayo" 

(While waiting for celebrant to arrive) 

(When the celebrant arrived in the venue)


Welcoming him to his "Birthday Party"
Everyone's so happy and some even shed tears of joy.
I just can't contain the happiness of our whole family.

The party was very simple. We prepared some Dance and Song Number for lolo. We also did the Traditional Wishes, Wines and Gifts. 


It was indeed the happiest day for almost all of us. The joy on everyone's face is priceless. I'm glad I'm part of this family. Thank you Lord for making me part of this crazy yet the best family ever.
