being bebang

i will begin my fasting and praying today. i am praying for 10 things this coming 2009. i won't mention any of the "stuff" that i am praying for so that it would be a surprise. hehe i am actually excited because this will be the first time that i will sacrifice for what i am praying for. God bless me! :D

~~wish me strength.. :)

a journey into womanhood

i know, i know.. i haven't been blogging for quite sometime now. i guess i was just pre-occupied with other stuff like edward cullen.haha kidding aside, i just lost my drive in writing. i am blogging now because if i am not able to document this wonderful event, i might not forgive myself. i want to learn a lesson and this blog will help me remember it.

my cousin just celebrated her debut this day. i personally didn't have a fancy party with a sumptuous feast. i remember celebrating it with some of my closest friends and family. my mom cooked and that's it. i never regretted anything about it now nor demanded anything more than that at that moment. i understood that we didn't have much. period.

my cousin, yna was born with a silver spoon. she had everything she wanted yet she remained very grounded. she is a shy, intellectual, funny girl that has lots of ideas but scared to do them. when we see each other, i get to talk to her about school, clothes, etc. just the usual small talk. based from our conversations, i can see that she has something that no other man can take-a heart of gold. for the past couple of months, i have been bugging her about how she would celebrate her debut. every time i ask her, she has the same answer. "ayaw kong magparty ng bongga" these are her exact words. i wondered why she doesn't want to throw a big party like my other cousins did. now i realized that she was thinking ahead, practicing "practicality" and putting herself behind others.

last week i heard that she was going to celebrate her birthday at a orphanage. i was so glad and happy to hear that. parang nakakataba ng puso. she never knew any of those kids yet she'll spend time with them. i always see this scenario sa mga artista. pampalinis at pampabango ba ng pangalan. i decided sa sarili ko na i'll attend no matter what. kasi naman nakakainspire na ewan. basta i feel blessed really.i feel very proud of her. the kid that i once knew is starting to become a woman-of substance.

after the kids party we had a formal dinner at luk-foo restaurant. alam mo yun, kahit walang dance or eighteen whatever ang saya parin. andaming pagkain, may cake, we are complete and happy. parang for a moment nakalimutan ang mga problems para lang makisaya kay yna. i don't know if she'll be able to read this. iilan lang sa mga pinsan ko may alam ng blog ko. pero i hope na when she reads this she'll understand and feel proud sa accomplishment nya. kahit na in her own simple way she was able to make a difference.

tomorrow, she planned to have a swimming/overnight party. sana my sked would permit me. busi-busihan ako ee.haha

HaPPY BiRTHDAY PePOT!!

"God bless the people who try to make a difference even in the littlest ways they know."
