This is my so long pending blog for the 24th bday last April 24. Didn't have much time to make this one for the pastweek,and look now, it already 11.48 and im trying my best to finish this one. Argh!.

Anyway, Im 24 now and thankful for the 24 years of beautiful life God has blessed me. Time comes that i think of awful things about life due to society im quite exposed, but still hanging on to the belief that a better time will come by doing good turns daily.

Im also thankful to my wonderful family who first taught me of everything I am now.

Without them, i wouldnt find a better fountain of humility.

And also, there are good, better and best friends i have all these years. For them to have

gone and stayed and still having a hard time being with me.. hehehe... thanks..

Life can be cruel.. so over depressing and can burn you out alive but as long as you have good friends to laugh and cry and get crazy over things that are happening..tuloy tuloy lang...

While waiting for my picture to get uploaded, i found this one..

You are full of energy.

You are spirited and boisterous.

You are bold and daring.

You are willing to do some pretty outrageous things.

Your high energy sometimes gets you in trouble.

You can have a pretty bad temper at times.

You are friendly, charming, and warm.

You get along with almost everyone.

You work hard not to rock the boat.

Your easy going attitude brings people together.

At times, you can be a little flaky and irresponsible.

But for the important things, you pull it together.

You are wild, crazy, and a huge rebel.

You're always up to something.

You have a ton of energy, and most people can't handle you.

You're very intense.

You definitely are a handful, and you're likely to get in trouble.

But your kind of trouble is a lot of fun.You are very intuitive and wise.

You understand the world better than most people.

You also have a very active imagination.

You often get carried away with your thoughts.

You are prone to a little paranoia and jealousy.

You sometimes go overboard in interpreting signals.

You are usually the best at everything ... you strive for perfection.

You are confident, authoritative, and aggressive.

You have the classic "Type A" personality.

You are balanced, orderly, and organized. You like your ducks in a row.

You are powerful and competent, especially in the workplace.

People can see you as stubborn and headstrong.

You definitely have a dominant personality.

You are a seeker.

You often find yourself restless - and you have a lot of questions about life.

You tend to travel often, to fairly random locations.

You're most comfortable when you're far away from home.

You are quite passionate and easily tempted.

Your impulses sometimes get you into trouble.

You are truly an original person.

You have amazing ideas, and the power to carry them out.

Success comes rather easily for you... especially in business and academia.

Here are some of my first shots from my new love.

"True to its name, Giniling Festival's brand of music is influenced by a wide variety of genres (ranging from rock, funk, blues, classical, etc). Formed in 2003, the band has since developed a certain formula for their kick-ass performances: good vibes, stage presence, and musical hubris, combined with the determination to make a lasting mark on the crowd, even if only a single soul is watching. The band members are drawn together by a common pleasure to "entertain" not just the audience but also themselves. The themes of their songs explore the most remote (to the absurd) situations in Philippine society which result in the band's masa appeal. Ultimately, for Giniling Festival, performing is not just about the music, it's also about entertainment. Every show is a festival where everyone's invited to enjoy the music that the band is more than happy to offer."

Here is one of my fave track from thier album.

Mabuhay lahat ng Single

May kasama ka ba nung nanood ka ng Titanic (wala)

May kasama ka ba nung Valentine’s Day (wala)

May kahawak ka ba ng kamay nung ika’y naospital (wala)

May ka-share ka ba ng pagkain pag pumupunta ka sa party (wala)

Chorus]

Wag nang mahiya kung wala

Mabuhay lahat ng single

May kasama ka ba nung nanood ka ng Titanic (wala)

May kayakap ka ba nung Valentine’s Day (wala)

May nagtext ba sa’yo ng “I love you, goodnight”(wala)

May nagsabi na sa’yo na “Baby, last beer mo na yan” (wala)
[repeat Chorus]

Mahirap ang nag-iisa, walang makasama

Sa hirap at sa ginhawa, bakit di na lang

Durugin natin ang ating mga puso
Para di tayo masaktan

Durugin natin ang ating mga pwet, mga puso

Para di tayo masaktan
Mabuhay lahat ng single
Ng single, ng single
Mabuhay lahat ng bigo (mabuhay)

Mabuhay lahat ng sawi (buhay)

Mabuhay lahat ng basted (mabuhay)
Mabuhay lahat ng Single!

mark your calendars

I got a pm last monday from a good friend. Its 10.15am in the morning and that usual day was one of the busiest. However, i still tried my best to say "hi" and made simple " kamusta". But it didnt end there. Better yet, i was a start of a exciting yet toxicated 30 days of my life.

She's getting married... in approximately 30 days. At first, i was congratulating her because ive'd known both of them for quite some time and i know they have plans already, however, it never occurred to me that it would be this year with so limited time left. She told me the whole story of how they came up with a rush marriage plan. And so to make my intro short, shes getting

married in November 15, 34 days from now.

She told me i was the first one she talked with regarding this matter (or maybe i was the only one online that specific time.. hehehe). She asked for my assistance and gladly accepted it. I was really excited for her and i has been my passion to help weddings. We agreed to meet in here place to talk about the plans and details.

Will update this soon.

Advance Congratulations!!!

Junjun and Jessa

where angels fall asleep

Concordia Orphanage

4600 Old Sta Mesa St, Sta Mesa Manila.

Home for the homeless angels found along the busy strip of motels in old sta mesa. Ironic.

Some of them are abandoned since birth. They are the end products of unwanted pregnancies, rape cases and poverty.

Concordia Orphanage nurses for 25 babies age ranges from 0-5 yrs old. It has 7 inhouse caregivers.

They operate purely on donations. Sad to say most of these came from foreign visitors. Most of the babies here are from Fabella and PGH and in some cases, those rescued from streets.

Sharing this humbling experience makes me realize scarcity of human love. People are bound to many temptations and vices, wasting times debating for whose to blame. Fighting for money they never even worked for. Yet they dont even realize sectoral necessities. Those who cant voice out their needs. Angels who can only cry when hungry and smile when feed up.

November palang sinabihan na ako kung gusto kong sumama papuntang mountain province.Syempre, i said yes dahil pagkakataon ko ng idetoxify ang sarili ko sa stress sa trabaho at iba pang mga alalahanin.Sobrang excited ako. Ang sabi lang, QC contigent kami dun para magdala ng school supplies for nursery and to conduct basic training sa mga kabataan. Umalis ng Kasilen Bus Terminal ( infront Trinity College in E-Rod) Dec 26, 9PM and arrived in Bontoc ( Capital of Mountain Province) mga 7am. Anim kami. Ako, si Jaypee(law student), si Maricris( history professor), si Nhur ( muslim youth), si kuya joven (tech sa SYDP* ofc) at si nanay Ester ( from BOC QC).

From Bontoc, we have to travel another one and a half hour to reach Sadangga, a municipality of Bontoc with 8 brgys. We were welcomed by the munipal officials and shared a simple launch with them. There we were also introduced to Evangeline, SK Federation Chairperson of Sadangga. After lunch, we just unloaded our stuff to our foster home and then proceeded to Sadangga High School, located on top of one of the mountains there. Astig.

We had to walk up at least 1hr to get there.(as in akyat.. tantya ko mga 11 floors ang taas nun..)

to be continued.. up na ang friendster.. hehe

Funny how everyday you get to encounter different kinds of people. They may piss you off or make you laugh out loud. However, this caused me to think how millions of people become so different from each other. As they say, uniquely created.
