NO REGRETS, JUST LESSONED LEARNED

                Alright! I’m going to start with my year-end blog na! WEEEHH! Okay. So, What have I done this entire year? Hmmmmm. Ang dami na talaga e. I don’t remember them in details na e. But I want to have a review of all the good and bad that had happen to me this year. OHHH.. This’ll be a long one.

                AY! Before anything else, I would like to extend my holiday greetings to each and every one! Merry Christmas && A happy new year! J May God bless us all!

Okay, this year has been so crazy. I felt so blessed this year. I am happy that all of these things happened. I don’t regret anything na. Kase before I thought of something that I did that I really felt that I have to regret. But then, I realized that when I was doing the act, what I did was just to follow my heart. And I was happy back then. So for me, I will never regret anything that once made me happy. So yeah. NO REGRETS, JUST LESSONED LEARNED. Just to highlight that events I had this year.

1.    1. I learned to play BLITZ! Now, What is blitz? Blitz is, http://www.dutchblitz.com/.

 So there, actually I wasn’t the only one who learned to play blitz. I think all of us in church learned to play blitz. Because of the YWAM, they brought blitz with them and while we were in church they taught us to play. And it is really fun to play. In fact I ordered one but unfortunately, wala parin sya until now. Here’s a picture of us playing blitz and the YWAM team!

It's us, playing blitz!

 2. We came up with a mini dance group! The first time we danced was on our P.E night. I met a friend her name is Jam, we became pretty close also with Andrei and the rest. The second time we danced was on our acquaintance party. And then we joined a dance competition during the BLACKOUT party, and we won. YEY! Then we had a repeat performance during the.. I forgot what was that, basta centennial year event un. OKAY. Will also post some photos.

1.     3.  Then I met Mawi. J Hihi. We became pretty close. I call her BETCH. Well 3 yun kame Mawi, Jam, and I. One of the new friends I met this year. But we manage to stay close despite of our opposite schedules and all. Tapos we love to hang out talaga sa Island bubble tea, pero closed na un.

To mawi: I AM HAPPY THAT I MET YOU. :D Really, I am! *DRAMA :)))

I also met LAIKA! Who is laika to me? Hmmm.. I met laika at school. She’s a year older than me, I met her in the time of my distress. WOW! DISTRESS! She comforted me nung time na yon. And she also became a really good friend of mine. We share a lot of chikkas talaga! As in, if we seat in one place for the entire day, I don’t think that we will ever get bored. HAHA! Feel ko lang. Madaldal talaga ako! Ay KAME pala. Hahaha. And even though she’s older than me and we have different schedules, she still finds time to keep in touch and be updated with each other’s lives, this is what I love about her the most! As in, kahit lunch together, or merienda together, we can manage to talk about tons of things na talaga! She is so fun to be with talaga. She has a lovely soul and a beautiful heart! I love her din tlga! <3 ayeee.="ayeee." nbsp="nbsp" span="span">

Wala kameng picture together. Cant find one. @@
To Laika: Ang saya lng makahanap ng friend like you. Chos! I am blessed to have come to know you.

                I met a new chikka buddy/girlfriend, her name is diane! As first, I thought we would click, because maybe she would not like me, but then it turned out that we were like A-OKAY together! As in, I wasn’t expecting it to be like that. And out “Laag” was really fun. And I just laughed a lot that time. I like her. I really do. I hope I get to know her more next year. Would not pro’lly meet until the next year, she’s out of town e. Okay. So yon, It’s really fun around her. We still don’t have any picture together. But soon, magkakaroon din kame! :DDDD 

No picture together YET -
To Diane: Thanks for being a friend when I need one! Love you!

4. The CYF welcome night. Presenting the “Youth-outside-the-box” OOOH YEAH! It was finally the time to launch our new youth title. It was crucial on picking what title would fit our youth. Since last year we had a Youth undivided. So yeah, we figured, with God’s help that it’s about time for us to go and reach out to those people who doesn’t know Christ yet. So there, we chose youth-outside-the-box! And that night there were no game, we only had this role play. Wherein, the officers will have to play a role, they/we will have to act as people who don’t know Christ and people who think they don’t need God. There were to scenarios, one is in an office, or company, people there were rich, and they think that they don’t need god anymore. The other one is in a squatters area, where in the people there are suffering and they think that there is no God. And they think that if there is a God, that God has forsaken them. So the young people who came to the welcome night were asked to share to these unbelievers whatever they know about God. And their main goal is to win souls for God. So it was like a drill. And note that these CYFers who came wasn’t informed that they will have to share the word. So there, it was a success. We had praise and worship, and sang praises to God. I saw new faces, and I am glad that these new faces stayed with us and became a part of the family as time goes. Soyeah, everything went well with God’s grace. And everything was a success. Thank you, Lord. 

Welcome night! CYFers

This was the drill on sharing the word.
Role play. :))

1.    5.   And by the end of the first semester, we had this interclass swimming competition. Since swimming was our P.E. So yeahhh. It was soooo fun. An amateur swimming competition. Our class won overall. YEAHOO! And I also won as the most outstanding swimmer. CHAR. So first time ko magkamedal sa sports. HAHAHA! Masaya. The experience that great! And it stirred up my interest for swimming even more. Kase, since I was a child it was the only sport I know. Kaya ayon. And I am lampa at all sports na. HAHA. K. Fun experience.

1.  6.   The IORG was established here in Zamboanga. Mom Rose appointed me as the WA(Worthy Advisor), in other words. President. Ayon. It is fun being a Rainbow girl.  I met new friends and ayon, hinahasa ako maging leader. Sana lang talaga, by the end of my term, maayos ang lahat. Will post some photos of the installation.

 7. My birthday! YEAHOOO! Im finally 18! Lady na daw. Okay. So my birthday wasn’t engrande. I didn’t have a party or anything. I want it to be simple. I was shocked nga na I wanted it that way. I’m the typical maarte girl kase. Pero nung my birthday was fast approaching, and my dad asked me what I wanted to do, I just said na, don’t want a party, money and or travel nalang. So ayon, but still I was torn between party and the money and travel. Pero thing about parties is that, nakakatamad magprepare. As in. I don’t want anything na makakadagdag stress pa. And then, magastos pa. ME NO LIKEY NA. So yon, wala nang party. Plus, I didn’t feel happy few days before my birthday, parang down tlaga ako. For some reasons. And then my birthday came. Then my dad said that, we will have dinner at his place after my class daw. So sabi ko, OKAY. I’d love that naman. Sad thing is that my mom wasn’t with us. Separated na sila e. L Ayon, so when I arrived, they had balloons all over tapos my friends si papa there and then sila Ako-neng and her family was there din. Tapos, impromptu, I invted Wilbur. J Sayang nga di ko nainvite sila Pastor e. Pero yon,binigyan ako nila papa ng bouquet of roses. As in 18 roses talaga. Wow naman. Na surprise tlga ako. Ayon, my day ended happily naman. As in, right then and then, I knew that I was blessed!  I love you, God. 

Halata bang ndi ako prepared. Di ako nkapagayos oh! @@

1. 8.  The Ateneo Fiesta! The DeMolay and Rainbow had a booth during the aftest. We planned it to raise funds for the AdZU DeRa. It was pretty much a success for a newbie. J HAHA, We didn’t really had a background on these things. We sold BBQs, floats, finger foods, and shawarma! And the entire atfest, was sooooooo tiring. PROMISE! But even though pagod talaga, it was worth it! We became closer as bros and sisters, as in, the bond became stronger. And that’s just nice. WORTH IT! :D

Atfest buddies! A bond as strong and thick as blood!

My favorite customer. =)) 

1.    9.   AAO swimming competition. Yey! Okay, I just swam sa relay. So, two events yon. We got GOLDS! Tapos, ayon. Masaya, all the tiring trainings paid off. And this was my 2^nd swimming competition. Great experience. Kahit taplak ako magdive. =))

  

  10. Rainbow Christmas Carol! FUN! FUN FUN! Okay, it wasn’t really the usual caroling that we go house to house. What we did was the distributed letters, and surprisingly the dads didn’t want us to go to their houses, instead they gave us money nalang. Many of them did the same. So in just one night we became rich na. HAHA! Just kidding. Then the dad’s invited us to go to their party and have our caroling there. And again, in just one night we became very rich! Haha!

  

Okay, 10 significant events this year. If you guys noticed, I didn’t include the bad things. Well, I blogged about sad things that happened to me naman this year, you can read it there instead. I don’t want to ruin the happy aura that this blog have naman. J) Okayyy.

I would like to post close this jam-packed year-end blog by saying that life is a constant change. What we have today might not be the same tomorrow. And the only thing that is permanent in this world is CHANGE. People come and go, friends come and go but true friends stay. You can’t always be happy; sometimes you have to experience pain. And that pain will help you become a better person in the future. I’m just happy that I came to realize all this. It’s sad when people you love and care about leave you. But the important thing there is you learn to accept. And then slowly, you move on. Over all, this year has been wonderful year for me. I hope next year will be better! :D

And finally having said all this, this year was truly a blessing and a lessoned learned for me! As in, I can’t thank God enough for all the things that he has done for me my entire life. And as we celebrate Christmas this year, let us all remember what Christ did for all of us. Forget about the gifts, foods, gatherings, etc. Remember a baby was born in a manger to save us. May God bless you guys! :) 

Happy holidays everybody!

Be safe!

Ciao!
