Pictures Tell Tales

14: Sunken Garden

2010-05-27T00:28:00.004+08:00

A PICTURE of University of the Philippines' Sunken Garden.

May 26, 2010. This is my favorite place in U.P. I just love the greenery and shady trees where you could sit back and relax. Good place for contemplating too! :)

This "garden" is believed to sink every year since it lies in a fault line.

13: Princess

2010-05-11T00:35:00.003+08:00

A PICTURE of Princess, the new addition to our family.

April 30, 2010. My mother adopted her after she got lost and went inside our garage gate. A cute little kitten who has great resemblance to out very first cat - Snow White (maybe the reason why my mom decided to keep her). She has striking blue eyes and loves to play...soon she will have a new playmate..my mom's adopting a puppy.
We'll definitely have lots of fun with the two of them! ♥

12: Mirepa friends

2010-04-14T10:45:00.004+08:00

A PICTURE of my closest Mirepa friends.

December 24, 2008. Christmas party at Mirepa English Academy. Eating our food at the reception. Good times with Cielo, Jonas and Amie. :)

I remember the night before this day I was packing the Christmas give-aways for the teachers with Sheila. Although it wasn't heaven working here, my stay in this academy was made fun by co-teachers and some wonderful students.

11: Group Pic

2010-04-08T19:32:00.004+08:00

A PICTURE of BSN 615 Grp. 68

August 2005. I spent my senior year in college with this group. We started out as groupmates but we developed a great bond called friendship along the way. We were together through the ups and downs of our college days, shared a lot with each other, fought over petty things and became allies.

Through the years, four and a half later, we lead our own different lives but our friendship is still there. ^_^

LP: Totoo

2010-04-02T14:40:00.009+08:00

Maraming nag-sasabi na hindi totoong anak ng Diyos si Hesus, na siya ay isang simpleng tao lamang at hindi mapag-himala. Ngunit depende sa paniniwala ng isang tao siya ay nagiging totoo sa ating mga buhay. Nagiging totoo ang kaniyang pagsasakripisyo sa krus dahil sa ating pananalalig sa kanya.

Iba-iba ang ating paniniwala...ngunit sa totoo lamang kung ano o sino pa man ang ating pinaniniwalaan ang mahalaga ay ating igalang at maging biyaya sa bawat isa.

LP: Plastik

2010-03-31T13:26:00.004+08:00

Orocan....isa yan sa tawag sa taong hindi nagpapakatotoo o sa madaling salita plastik! Isa ito sa ugaling kinaaayawan ng karamihan kung di lahat sa atin. Pero kung iisiping mabuti lahat tayo (wag mag-paka ipokrito) sa isa o maraming pagkakataon ay naging plastik din. Ang mahalaga ating baguhin ang pag-uugaling ito... hindi lamang nakakasira ang plastik sa kalikasan, masama rin ito sa ating society. (^-^)

10: Daddy's girl

2010-03-29T15:08:00.004+08:00

A PICTURE of me and my dad.

1987. I think I was nearly a year old if not 1 in this picture. This was taken in our old house in Pasig City. Obviously I can't remember anything about this photo but this was the time that I was the only baby in the family. My brother was yet to be born.

My mom said that I took after my dad - the face and other physical features - and I have to agree. I love my dad. He's going to work out of the country again and leaving on the 6th of April. We'll miss him.

9: Work station

2010-03-29T14:50:00.004+08:00

A PICTURE of my previous work station.

November 2008. The last picture I took before I resigned at the phone English company. For almost a year of working there I collected a lot of memories in that little space. I made level tests, recorded lessons, revised writing exercises and talked to students for almost all the time.

I had a number of accidents too - like bumping my head on the table and falling off my chair while having a class which was so embarrassing by the way! I made really good friends with a lot of teachers and Korean students alike.

There are so many memories flashing back when I see this picture, some were not so good but worth remembering.

8: Our first baby

2010-03-29T14:29:00.005+08:00

A PICTURE of Short Tari.

October 28, 2009.

7: Halo-halo

2010-03-16T12:21:00.004+08:00

A PICTURE of my favorite summer treat - Halo-halo!

March 14, 2010. Spent a lovely weekend with my mom and sister.

Halo-halo (literally translate to mix-mix) is probably the most favorite food of Filipinos during summer. It is a mixture of shaved ice and milk to which are added various boiled sweet beans and fruits, and served cold in a tall glass or bowl. And sometimes it is topped with ice cream!

6: Mid-week retreat

2010-03-11T01:13:00.004+08:00

A cute PICTURE of my friend Tere.

March 10, 2010. A movie date, a sumptuous meal at Peri-peri (which serves delicious chicken!) and a wonderful time with my good old friends.

5: Sisters

2010-03-10T00:58:00.004+08:00

A PICTURE of me and my sister.

2008. These were the days when we used to go out together by ourselves. We would watch a movie, play arcade games and eat! Now, we hardly go out due to school. She's been busy reviewing for tests and school works. I just miss her...

4: A feline friend

2010-03-05T00:29:00.005+08:00

A PICTURE of a friendly stray cat.

February 2009. My dad has a soft heart to animals especially the stray ones. This cat is one of the many "pets" my dad somehow adopted. She doesn't live in our house. She only comes during mealtime with her sister or sometimes a whole gang of cats!
She is a sweet cat though. Whenever she sees any member of our family going out of the house she seems to walk us to wherever we are going till she reaches the end of her territory she stops and watches and purr the whole time.
My mother said she and her sister were born on our roof. I don't know where and how she got that idea but maybe that's true

3: Korean banchan

2010-03-02T12:48:00.004+08:00

A PICTURE taken at a Korean restaurant in Quezon City.

December 2008. It was a great afternoon for some Korean food. We had a hearty lunch with my favorite ssamgyupsal and of course kimchi!

2: Chingus

2010-03-02T12:39:00.003+08:00

A PICTURE taken at Yellow Cab, SM Megamall

December 24, 2008. A post-Christmas activity with my co-workers and favorite students. We did some shopping, bowling, took pictures and dined.

1: Sugar Beach

2010-03-02T02:20:00.001+08:00

A PICTURE taken at Sugar Beach, Bantayan, Cebu.

October 2008. It was my first trip to Cebu with 2 other friends. It was a really lovely place and I enjoyed basking under the sun, playing in the water and relaxing.
