Early Morning Out of Boredom Shot

2012-01-30T06:13:00.004+08:00

It started with the spiderweb; I saw this spiderweb while I was watering the plants so I’ve thought that I should take a photo of the web before destroying it :P.

Here’s the spiderweb.

And then the flower follows haha! Obviously our beloved plants are my favorite subjects :D

It is nice to wake up in the morning seeing these wonderful creations of God. Have a nice day!

恭喜發財!

Busy 2011

2012-01-03T09:50:00.000+08:00

LIFE AS A PROJECT NURSE

It's been a while since my last post. I was a bit busy by the end of 2011, I got a part time job as a project nurse in a company; where we are distributed in companies to do some health projects like Audiometry, Pulmonary Function Test etc. Our first health project started last December 6, 2011 up to December 23, 2011 in a well known tobacco company in Marikina. Most of my duties are PM shift, had one AM shift and one 24 hour duty and this job is not like the usual 8hour duty but we have a 12 hour duty per day. I had a super hassle and tiring duty, actually not the duty itself but the commuting part. I live somewhere in the boundary of Paranaque and Pasay, and going to Marikina took me 4 hours due to traffic and also it took me 4 hours going home also due to traffic and long line in MRT Cubao. And yeah, my sleep is also 4 hours haha! To make the story short; even the commuting part is a bit hassle I enjoyed working on that company, we had a free meal and snacks and I also enjoyed the company of my new friends. I've learned lots of things from that duty and I also thank God, He gave me this opportunity and gave me a solution to have money before Christmas! Thank you, God.

I've been waiting for this!

I graduated at Remedios Trinidad Romualdez Memorial School-Makati Medical Center (known today as Makati Medical Center, College of Nursing) batch 2010. And as a graduate of this school we all I mean almost all of us dreamt to work in Makati Medical Center. I received a text from the Training department of MMC last December 6, 2011 (first day of my work as a project nurse) and the text contains a message telling me that I have an exam the next day, 9am! My work finish around 6AM and I need to be in the hospital before 9am. To make another story short, as usual I had a 3 hour ride going to Makati and came to the hospital at exact 9am and had my exam mostly of my answers are only guess haha! I've been bum for two years and I can't remember anything from the exam! And I finish the exam at around 11am and got home at around 12nn and woke up around 3pm to prepare for my next duty.

After two weeks since the exam, I was not expecting to receive a text from the Training Department. The training department texted me, telling that I need to call the hospital to know the schedule of my interview and I was scheduled on December 23, 2011, 9am; that's our last day in the tobacco company and I have a PM shift duty so I decided to have a 24 hour duty on December 21-22. Before December 23, Kate helped me to prepare for the interview, I studied the 12 competencies, made a script etc.

December 23, 2011; THE DAY! I'm in a corporate outfit and nervous. I saw a 4 batchmates, 1 from the higher batch and two outsiders (from CEU and Southville). All of us are nervous and praying that we have a nice line of panels. And then, I saw my former CI and guess what?!? She's one of the panels which gave me a good vibe because she's one of the best and "mabait" na CI's. Our interview went well, lots of laughs than tensions, not like the rumors I've heard from past interviews.

By the end of 2011, I realized that I received so much blessings from God. God gave so much because He wants me to teach me something as well of course to reward me. Because of this overwhelming gifts, He taught me how to prioritize, how to control, how to be patient and He taught me how to live in reality. Thank you Lord God for the blessings and lessons.

Anyway guys, I haven't greeted you so here; Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Have a blessed 2012!

Seven things about me.

2011-11-27T17:01:00.006+08:00

Yeung Chow Fried Rice/Les fleurs en gorgé de soleil.

2011-11-11T11:25:00.010+08:00

I'm the girl who hates to cook but love to eat. There are only two reasons why I hate cooking. First, I need to wash and clean all the equipments I have used and second, I'm too lazy to cook. Anyway, last month I was watching Janice de Belen's cooking show, Spoon and they are cooking by that time was our family favorite, Yeung Chow Fried Rice. In that show, they demonstrated the best way to cook the rice. And then, I got interested and then started cooking. Anyway, I cooked a Yang Chow Fried Rice for our breakfast, you need patience and hard work cooking this rice. Fortunately, it was a success! YAY!

A sample shot of my very own Yeung Chow Fried Rice

I just want to share to you, that I am a messy cook haha! But after cooking, I need to clean the stove and also the materials and equipments I've used that's what I have learned from the Disney movie, Ratatouille.

Colette: [Linguini is making a mess at the kitchen]
What is this? Keep... your... station clear!

My parents love my Yeung Chow Rice! I also used Crab sticks rather than shrimps because that's the only available ingredient on our fridge haha! xP

Les fleurs en gorgé de soleil.

Early morning boredom. I saw my father watering our plants and then out of boredom I took some photos of our plants. Here are some sample photos.

I need your comments, suggestions and violent reactions.

BORED!

Football related issues: Loving the Philippine League

2011-10-29T15:05:00.001+08:00

Months later after the big game in FIFA 2010, Azkals became a popular name. It was a sort of a nickname for the Philippine National Football Team. And because Azkals are mostly consist of handsome half Filipino and half something, girls are now drooling over them and honestly, I'm one of them. And yes, until now I support them not because they are handsome lads but because I'm a Filipina, I shall support my Kababayans! My Kalahi!

And now, I'm getting hook to United Futbol League, a local league here in the Philippines. And there are five local teams/club that I support that would be the KAYA Futbol Club, Air Force Phoenix, Global Football Club, Loyola Meralco Sparks and Team Socceroo (which consist of 9 Brazilian Japanese!!). And I hope that football will be loved by the Pinoys like how they love Basketball. Toodles!

Football related issues: Loving the American League

2011-10-29T08:07:00.001+08:00

Do I like or love an American team? When I was asked what is your favorite American football club? The first club that's comes to my mind is the LA Galaxy. I love the team because David Beckham is in that team. But my love for that team is not like how I love Arsenal and Real Madrid. I love LA Galaxy because of David Beckham and that's all. And like I said in my previous post, David Beckham is my first football player crush.

Speaking of LA Galaxy, they are going to visit the Philippines this December 3 and yes with David Beckham! I'm so excited for this!!

Football related issues: Loving the Spanish League

2011-10-28T16:46:00.002+08:00

Spain also has one of the most popular players and club. Yes, I also have a favorite team. There are only two clubs that I will love forever and ever, Arsenal FC and CF Real Madrid. CF Real Madrid is a Spanish football club. I fell in love with CF Real Madrid because most of the players of Spain National Football Team are in this team, either in Real Madrid CF or FC Barcelona. What does Real Madrid did to attract me to their club, hmmm... I think it was because of Xabi Alonso? Xabi Alonso is one of my Spanish NT crushes. By the time I'm starting to love Real Madrid I still don't know that Ronaldo and Kaka exist. Just found out about Cristiano Ronaldo because my ex-boyfriend talked about him one time and just found out about Kaka when I saw a huge advertisement in C5 about him and he's my little brother's favorite football player. And like, Arsenal, as games passed by I learned to love the whole team and even the manager, Jose Mourinho!

Like Arsenal FC, I also fell in love with Real Madrid's kit uniform because of its simplicity, a color white with some touch of gold or blue (home colours).

And for me, Real Madrid has the most beautiful logo ever!

I also tried to love FC Barcelona, yes I did but I don't why I can't haha! Even though the best football palyer is there (Leo Messi).

Anyway, Real CF will be the only Spanish football team that I will love until I die!

Hair loss

2011-10-27T16:06:00.001+08:00

When I was a kid until pre teens, I have this wonderful thick hair but when I turned 18 years old, I started to skip meals and I was on a crash diet. And because of that, my immune system got weak and I also had hair loss which made my hair more thin. There were times where you can see my scalp, I had patches on my hair because of that, I’m sort of getting bald in an early age. Now, I’m planning to be more healthy and eat in a small frequent meals than to eat one big meal only.

To girls who want to lose weight, crash diet is a big NO NO! You’ll lose weight as well as your crowning glory.

Football related issues: Loving the English League

2011-10-27T07:23:00.003+08:00

How did I became fond of the International leagues/football clubs?

My first ever Football player crush was David Beckham, that's when I was in my pre adulthood and the second was Fernando Torres which by that time he was still a player of Liverpool (He's now in Chelsea).

Last FIFA 2010, the championship game was between the Spain National Football Team and the Netherlands National Football Team. Of course I'm rooting for Spain, not just because Fernando Torres was there but because my ancestors are Spanish which means I'm a Spanish descendant. Anyway, while watching the game I noticed this Dutch striker wearing an orange top with a number 9 on its back. I actually can't take my eyes off him until I forgot I was originally rooting for the Spanish team. As the game goes on, I found out the striker's name, he is Robin Van Persie and of course I fell in love with him haha LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT. And then the Spanish team let the player with a number 4 on his back, play on the field, I was stunned and amazed and also had a crush on him. That guy would be the 24 year old, Francesc Fabregas. Anyway, Spain won the FIFA 2010.

As days passed by, my brother introduced the English league to me. He's a Manchester United and Arsenal FC fan by that time (now, he hates Man U and still love AFC). The first ever league that I have watched was BPL (Barclay's Premiere League) and the game is between the Arsenal FC and.. I forgot the other team haha! When the players were lined up, guess what who I saw? It was Robin Van Persie wearing an Arsenal kit uniform with a number 11 on his back (but now he's wearing a number 10) and there's another player that I saw and it was Cesc Fabregas with a number 4 on his back, he's not just a midfielder for the football club but he's also the captain of the team by that time (he already transferred at Barca). And loving those two player from Arsenal and after watching the games of Arsenal, it also made me love the team itself even the manager! Yes, Arsene Wenger! By that time, I was starting loving the English league and I was starting to find other clubs/teams to support. I tried Manchester United and City, Liverpool, Chelsea and other clubs. I tried to like them, love them but I don't know why I can't love them like how I love Arsenal.

And also one of the reason loving AFC is because of the simplicity of their uniform. It has a red and white kit (for home colours) and with a huge "FLY EMIRATES" on their top.

I proudly say that until now, I' am still a Gooner (which they call for fans). I will love Arsenal FC forever and ever, win or lose!

Football related Issues: How I fell in love with Football

2011-10-25T13:02:00.001+08:00

Football, is now in the mainstream. Many people thought I love football because it is one of the most popular sports as of now or sometimes people thought I love football because of the handsome Azkal players (Philippine National football Team).

Actually I've been in love with football since when I was in grade four. I really want to play football but by that time the only sports in our school was basketball, volleyball, track and field and Martial Arts, which I ended up taking Track and Field).

At a young age, why do I love football? Honestly, it was an influenced by a Japanese cartoon, an anime. As you can see, almost every anime, the sports of the main character is either football, basketball, or baseball. And because I have a fear of flying balls I choose football.

When I was in High school my love for football became more passionate or something like that. And my new school was near "ASCOM" which has a soccer field. Anyway, I was planning to enroll or join a soccer team but unfortunately my free will are controlled by my parents in short I don't have FREEDOM and "bantay sarado" by my parents.

FAST FORWARD. Blah blah blah. When I transferred school for college my love for the sport slowly disappears. My hope for being a soccer player slowly fades away.

And by that time, my beloved brother starts to play football and because of that my love for football came back. And because of him, I started to watch FIFA World Cup and obviously I have a Spanish bloodline, I rooted for Espana even though by that time I don't know the name even the looks or ability of the players, I just gave my trust to them because they are Spaniards!

Misagh Bahadoran

2011-10-23T23:16:00.001+08:00

What do you think? Me? I'm against about it!!

A Lesson Learned

2011-10-14T23:37:00.000+08:00

I just want to share a lesson I have learned for today; that nothing really lasts forever, even your own life. I've been this happy-go-lucky girl who's really not afraid to die and doesn't care when would I die. Something happened and made me realize that I should treasure every moment I have. From now on, I will live every day like it would be my last and will treasure every moment of it. I will always say Thank you to all the people who I'm with for that day and I promise I will not regret any stuff that I have done. I will not let any problems or struggles affect my life because it is just a waste of time and there are more important things to do than worrying stuff. I will always do my best because there would be no tomorrow like this.

My new motto/words of wisdom or whatsoever: "I would live like there would be no tomorrow"

Babyface to Ladylike..? Hmm..?

2011-10-13T08:24:00.001+08:00

I was told by my mentor that every time I'm in front and doing my speech she always sees me as a kid. She said that I look like a 15 year old high school student reciting in front. And she told Ate Dana that I should have a total make over haha!! I just found out that having a baby face also has its own disadvantage. They told me if they are one of the participants/audience they would not believe in everything I have said in the stage because I don't look like a college grad but they see me as a high school student.

TOTAL MAKE OVER!
First Step: Change wardrobe: From flats to heels; from pants to slacks; From skirts to dress; From socks to stockings.
Second Step: Let my hair grow, because short hair makes me more young (although I want to look young but I need to look professional), gonna bring back that long messy wavy hair of mine!! :D
Third Step: Posture!!! Stand straight, shoulder relax, chest out, stomach in.
Fourth Step: Make-up; I actually don't have any problem about that.
Fifth Step: Change bag: From knapsack/backpack to leather shoulder bags.

Lezz do this Aya!! Aja!

But still If I don't have work I will still wear my usual kid like t-shirts and shorts with my favorite leather backpack and chucks. :) That's me and I would not change it.

I LOVE Pudding!

2011-10-02T18:21:00.002+08:00

I'm falling in love with this Ipod touch/Iphone application although it's in Korean. Anyway, try to install it in your itouch/iphone, you'll enjoy taking pictures of yourself.

Birthday Wish

2011-10-01T21:24:00.000+08:00

Dear God,

Alam ko pong dalawang buwan pa bago ako magbirthday pero ngayon pa lang sasabihin ko na kong ano ang gusto kong regalo para sa bday ko. God, masaya na ko na bigyan niyo ko ng bagong hair dryer/blower. Okay na po ako dun. Thank you po.

Sino kaya ang mabait na tao na magreregalo ng hair dryer sa akin hahahahaha!!

Me

2011-09-26T20:08:00.000+08:00

I will always that makulit, maingay and madaldal na Aya. I will always act like an immature kid but I know by heart, mind and soul that I can face any problems that passes by maturely with the help of my beloved God.

Photography

2011-07-27T05:18:00.000+08:00

So that means, using cropping, clone tool, etc in your photo means your not a Photographer? So that means, the person who took and post process the photos in the billboards are not photographers? So that means Nigel Barker and the other ANTM so called Photographers are not Photographers? So the famous Manny Librodo is not a photographer? They all use Photoshop or other tools to edit the photos. They also use clone tool, changing of background, burn, etc. You know dude, using a post processing tool doesn't forbid you on being a photographer. And some Photography workshop also teach Photoshop as part of their course. It doesn't matter what camera, accessories and tool you are using as long as you have the TALENT, passion and talent (again).

And yes, I do have different kinds of post processing tools like Adobe Photoshop CS5, Lightroom, GIMP, Photoscape, I even use Paint! It doesn't matter how you present your photos as long as you have the talent, passion, creativeness and imagination. Photography is an art and art is all about creativeness and imagination.

I just want to rant haha! I just want to remove this out of my system. Anyway, thanks for reading!

Panaginip Part II

2011-07-10T16:58:00.000+08:00

Kung babasahin niyo tong entry ko iisipin niyong ang gugulo ko. Actually, magulo talaga ako. Sabi ko nung una wala na kong balak magmed pero gusto ko din maging successful na Neurologist talaga.

Naalala ko ung classmate ko sa NMAT review, she's 27 years old pero hindi naging hadlang sa kanya ang edad para tuparin ang dream niya.

Naalala ko rin nung umattend ako ng service kay Bo Sanchez. He said that ibinibigay ni God ung gusto mo in the right time. It might not this time baka after 2, 3, 4, 5 years. Just don't give up.

Iniisip ko parang sayang maggive up sa dream na maging doktor pero naisip ko pag nagmed ako, di na ko makakapagtravel. Nahihirapan ako at pati ang desisyons ko gumugulo. Gusto din na rin ng mga magulang ko na magtrabaho muna ako dahil nagastos na nila ang pang aral ko.�

I trust God. Siya na bahala sa akin at sa magiging career ko. God bless us!

Intindihin na lang

2011-07-10T02:13:00.000+08:00

Buti na lang talaga marunong akong umintindi. Hindi na katulad ng dati na galit kong galit haha!! Patience is a virtue di ba? Kaya pa naman ng pasensya ko at kaya ko pa magtiis. Sabi ko nga sa friend ko, ako ang bida at alam ko tama ang ginagawa ko so ayun haha!! Di naman siya big deal masyado kasi di ko naman siya ikamamatay di ba? Haha!! Madami akong problema sa buhay pero natutunan kong ngitian lahat kesa sa iyakan kaya ito ako matutulog ng nakangiti :) good night! Ay morning na pala!!! Hahaha :))

Pangarap..

2011-07-09T10:34:00.000+08:00

Hmmmm... My dream... What I want to be? Nung isang araw as usual nakatulala at nakaupo lang ako. Napaisip isip ako kung ang career na gusto kong kunin ngayon ay talaga bang gusto ko?�

Pangarap ko maging doktor nung bata ako. Oo isa ako sa mga bata na may laruang doktor doktoran at may Case pa un na ngayon ginawa ko ng jewelry box. Halos lahat naman yata ng kilala kong bata pinangarap maging Doktor. Ngayon, inaamin ko, binalak ko abutin ang pangarap na 'to. Ngalang isang araw naitanong ko sa sarili ko, bakit gusto mo maging doktor?? Matagal tagal din ako nag isip.. At wala din akong naisip na sagot. Bakit nga ba? Dahil cguro gusto ko makatulong.. �Oo makatulong sa kapwa.. Pero parang kulang, para hindi siya enough para maging reason.�

Napaisip ako uli... Ang pagiging doktor ba talaga ang pinakagusto ko at alam mong sabi ng puso ko? .. Hindi. Napaisip ako.. matagal ko na palang alam na hindi ko siya priority, gusto ko maging doktor pero hindi talagang gustong gusto.. kaya ako kumuha ng nmat para maitry kung sweswertehin ako pero wala eh. Hanggang sa gusto ko na siya maging career dahil sa tatlong rason: 1. Dahil namiss ko ang pagiging studyante. 2. Ayaw ko pa magtrabaho at masarap umasa sa magulang at 3. Dahil pinagkalat na ng mga magulang ko na magmemed ako. Pride na ang umiral sa akin at dahil dun natabunan na niya ang tunay na inaasam ng puso ko.

Elementary ako, inasam ko mag aral sa DLSU sa kursong Fine Arts. At bakit yun? Kasi gusto ko magdrawing ng landscape at maglakbay. Nung High school ako balak ko na mag aral ng BS Biology sa UP at balak ko pa mag second degree course ng Geology sa UP uli. May balak kasi ako maging Paleontologist or Archaelogist. Tinanong ako ng kapatid ko kung bakit yun? Sabi ko kasi kung saan saang lupalop ng mundo ako makakarating nun. Gusto ko rin maging sundalo kasi pag sundalo naassign kung saan saan, airforce pa nga gusto ko ngalang panira ang mata ko.�

Ngalang umusbong at naging in demand ang nursing kaya napilitan ako kumuha nito. Pero second choice ko ay Tourism at Journalism. Journalism, kasi nainggit ako kay Jessica Soho nun at kung saan saan siya pumupunta and Tourism, obvious naman siguro.

Doon ko lang natanto na ang pangarap ko pala ay maging lakwatserang Dora the Explorer.�

Nung third year college sinabi ko nun mag aaudition ako Travel and Living Channel at igigive up ko lahat para doon.

Ayun, mahilig ako lumakwatsa at pumunta kung saan kaya nung una nabandtrip mga magulang ko pero ngayon supportive na si Itay pero si Inay hindi.

Gusto ko lang magrant, ito kasi ang nasa utak ko ngayon eh. Haha salamat sa pagbabasa!

Verbalizing of thoughts

2011-06-21T03:44:00.003+08:00

There are certain things I have learned from my past relationship and one of them is verbalizing your thoughts and anger about your ex or even your friend. One of the best way to release your anger is to verbalize your feelings to a trusted friend, the one who is willing to listen. But releasing your anger and hatred about someone on a social network is a big NO. Yes, I admit I was once like that. I also bombarded my facebook, twitter and plurk and even my multiply account about people I hate, how I hate them. Especially when my ex-boyfriend broke up with me, I filled my social networks with hatred status about him, etc. But because of this experience I learned something from it. I learned that it's wrong to tell the people in FB or other social networking sites about how bad this guy, etc, and having a pleasure that people will know how bad he is. Where in fact you're the one who's the bad guy because you're ruining one's reputation to other people. Am I right? NANDA (North American Nursing Diagnosis Association) said Encourage verbalization of feelings, you know it's better to tell your best friend or even your parents how you feel about certain person and I'm sure after that you'll be feeling better and of course FORGIVE that person who made your life miserable.

Worth waiting for.

One of the wonderful events God has made for us. God really surprises us in mysterious ways :)

Sorry for the messy photo because I don't have the right lens but still it's better to have a remembrance than nothing right?

Future

2011-06-14T11:11:00.003+08:00

Who should decide your future? You or your parents?

I have finished the degree of Bachelor of Science in Nursing last April 2010 and passed the Nursing Licensure Exam last July 2010. But deep inside me I never like BSN, I never dreamed to be a nurse. So now, you'll want to ask me why did I take nursing? I was forced by my parents to take this course. Yes, I' am one of the High school graduates of year 2006 who was forced to study BSN by their parents because nursing boomed and was in demand by that year. And another reason is that my mom was having a projection, she wants me to pursue her dream, yes it was her dream. Anyway, I finished BSN without any problems bu tI don't have any job today like the other bum RNs.

I remembered last five years ago, they promised me that they will allow me to take any course I like after I finish BSN. So I planned to take Medicine. I really want to be a doctor or a tour guide, and I' am serious with the tour guide thing. And because as time goes by, I enjoyed the duty as a nurse so I decided to take a course related to the course I have finished. By this month I'm going to take NMAT, an entrance exam for med students and do my best.

My parents are both police officers, and now my father is retired and wants me to be a police nurse. He wants that one of his child will follow his footsteps. And he wants me, his one and only daughter. I cried while he was telling this to me. I don't want to be a police, I don't even want to be a nurse. I'm not the only kid he has, he has two other sons. Why not ask them and they are guys, they are fitted to that course or job or whatsoever. I have enough following your dreams. I want to follow mine. I want to be successful because of my dream not following my parents'.

May God help me and guide me. I will give myself a deadline until December 2011, and if I don't pass, I mean have the grade that I should have. I'll continue the job that is related with my course.

New PC!

2011-06-06T10:21:00.002+08:00

I just want to share my happiness for having a new PC set. Yes, we have a new set of PC and it took us eight hours fixing it, from 5pm to 1am. It was a family bonding and I had fun although my father shouts at us because he was a bit "atat" about everything. Anyway, I'm really happy about this new set and Windows 7 and we also installed wifi here at home :D That's all. Need to go I'm actually watching NBA Finals Game 3. Go Dallas Mavericks!

I ♥ Portraits

2011-06-02T12:37:00.005+08:00

I fell in love with Photography when I was 16 years old, that time I was already a nature lover and a "Dora Explorer". Photography helped me to preserve and keep the memories I have from my journeys. I was still using a film camera by that time, just an ordinary film camera until my mom bought our first ever digital camera, a Sony P32. I enjoyed using that camera because you can easily erase the unwanted photos. And then two years after, I realized that I need to upgrade my camera into a Digital single-lens reflex camera or famously known as DSLR. After 3 years, I have my own DSLR. Anyway, that time I want to be a landscape photographer but as time flies I fell in love with Macro and Portrait Photography. Until now, I'm still in the process of practicing. Here are some of my works.

Hope to have lots of shoot to come.

Beach Escapade

2011-06-01T13:56:00.009+08:00

Last May 21, 2011, me and my friends went to Laiya, San Juan, Batangas to relax and enjoy the summer. Laiya was popular with its cheap and affordable accomodations and the sand there is white but not as fine and white as Boracay has.

It took us 3 hours from Metro Manila to get there. We stayed at Casa Remo and we rent a room that can accomodate 8-10 people and cost around 6,000php.

There were lots of activities you can enjoy there like snorkeling, banana boat, jet ski, boat ride and many more. We did snorkeling because most of my friends haven't tried snorkeling, we enjoyed floating in the water and watching fishes swimming around the corals. The snorkeling cost us 1,500php because the boat rental was 1,000 which can carry 9 persons and above and we rented

five snorkeling equipments, 100php per gear.

The beach.

So if you want to relax and want a cheap accommodation with white sand beach, try Laiya, its worth it.

Every goal made by Robin Van Persie hahaha! :D The goal made by the Philippine National Team striker, Phil Younghusband, in Panaad Stadium in Bacolod, Philippines against Mongolian National Team. It was the best for me because Simon Greatwich assisted Phil with a bicycle kick which is really cooooooool!!! And also the save made by another Azkal member, Angel Guirado Aldeguer against Bangladesh by doing a heading which is so coooool! :D

Day 14. A player you dislike the most

2011-04-18T22:29:00.000+08:00

Barry Ferguson of Birmingham because of the Laurent Koscienly-slapping-the-head issue. Hated him for doing that.

�chec

2011-04-18T11:29:00.000+08:00

This year is a bit ugly as of now, been weeping and depressed since the start of 2011. I just accepted an awful news last week and once again I've received another one. Everything was ruined, all my plans for this year, everything. But this news won't let me down, it will make me stronger. These struggles made me to stand up and smile after crying, made me to release my emotions and stop to suppress and neglect it. I trust God, I believe in Him. He has plans for me, better plans and I know He won't let me down. I'm still full of Cations, lots lots of them and I don't mind the people who rejects me there still lots of them and its not my loss not being accepted by you. And I think God made this because He knows that you are enough for me, you are not the best plan for me. And once again, I trust God.

12. Best save

Venting out my feelings

2011-04-05T00:26:00.000+08:00

Wala sa mood mag english, masyadong depress.

Di ko alam paano ako mag uumpisa, gusto ko lang malaman mo na sobrang nasaktan ako nung nakita ko ung statement na un. Siguro iniisip mo na sobrang assuming ako, wala tayo magagawa tinamaan ako. Nung chineck ko kasi 2 hours ago, tiningnan ko sent items ko at nasend ko ang text message 2 hours ago. Nasaktan ako sobra, kasi akala ko okay lang sayo pero di ko alam na may tinatago ka na pala inis or sabi mo nga naiirita ka na. Sana noon palang sinabihan mo na ko para 'di na ko nagtatanong about him di ba?

Alam mo nung nabasa ko yung tweet na un, nafefeel ko na talagang pabigat ako na sana manahimik na lang ako dahil feeling ko you really don't care about me, sorry ha too desperate kung anu ano na pumapasok sa utak ko. Sa tweet na un doon ko narealize na talagang pabigat ako sayo, talagang wala ka sigurong paki sa dinadaanan ko or kung may paki ka man, naiinis ka na siguro kasi 'di ako makamove on, di ba ikaw na rin nagsabi na mahirap magmove on, alam mo ang nararamdaman ko kasi naranasan mo na din 'to. Sana you'll support me until na maging stable at kaya ko na tumayo sa sarili ko kasi alam mo na first timer ako sa problemang ganito.

Sabi mo sa tweet mo, "Go ask him yourself!". Alam mo na may space between us pa, although okay na kami pero not as okay as before and unti unti namin inaayos un pero 'di biglaan kasi alam mo din na may ilangang factor pa kami. RN ka dude, sana gamitin mo ung natutunan mo sa Psychiatric Nursing, EMPATHY DUDE!! EMPATHY! And I know alam mo ung nafefeel naming dalawa di ba? Nasaktan ka din, sinaktan ka din ng lalaking pinakamamahal mo at nung time na nag aadjust ka, na nagmomove on ka, may guts ka ba na magtext or magtanong dun sa guy? Hindi di ba? Ganun din ako, parehas lang tayo.

Di ko na alam kung paano ako kikilos around you, di ko na alam kung paano ako magkwekwento sayo kasi hindi ko alam kung nakakainis na ba ako, natatakot ako baka maulit 'to. Alam ko iniisip mo na ganito ako eh, di ko kaya sabihin ng harap harapan sabi mo nga sa akin "nasa loob ang kulo mo" pero dude, iba ba ako sayo? Para na nga taung magkapatid eh, bakit ka pa mahihiya or matatakot na magsabi ng mga ganyang bagay sa akin? Atleast kung nasabi mo kaagad yan, alam ko na ang gagawin ko, alam ko na kung ano nararamdaman mo at alam ko na kailangan ko magfilter ng ikwekwento sayo.

Gusto ko lang ilabas 'to kasi kilala mo ko madepress and ayaw ko rin magkimkim kasi kung alam mo lang kung gaano ka kaimportante sa akin, ayaw ko magkaroon ng galit sayo kasi isa ka sa mga blessings na binigay ni God sa akin. And di ba sabi ko sau, mas mahalaga ang kayo mga kaibigan ko kesa sa kung anu man, and sana ayaw ko masira ang friendship naten dahil dito. Alam mo naman siguro na ikaw ang binabanggit ko, and I texted you as I read the tweet so obviously alam mong para sayo 'to. And I'll try my best to filter ung mga ikwekwento ko sayo.

And to clear things up, I'm just confirming kung talaga bang sinabi mo kasi nabanggit nga niya sa akin na nasabi niyo sa kanya ung about dun sa April 9, ung sa Ozine.

Don't worry, I'm not mad at you. Okay na ko, 'di ko kayang magalit sayo alam mong mahal na mahal kita. Sana, next time, maayos naten 'to. And don't worry 'di naman kita pinipigilan maglabas ng sama ng loob sa twitter and facebook, wala akong karapatang pigilan ka kasi yun ang outlet mo, parehas lang tayo ng outlet.

Sincerely yours,

Aya Empeo

A Traitor

2011-03-31T12:21:00.000+08:00

Everything was ok. when I have you. I have forgotten the pain, the anger, everything. You're like a Morphine to me, you made my life for 2 months free from stress, free from pain, free from devastation. You're my alcohol, my cigarette and my drug, you made my life easier. You're my best buddy but now you are a traitor. You're making me go back to reality, making me feel the pain once again. Suppression, you did your job for two months. Why not do your job forever?

Thank you God!

2011-02-08T18:31:00.000+08:00

Thank you Lord God, for uplifting me, helping me carry my burdens, my problems. Thank you so much for comforting me and I did feel you tonight, it was comforting and relieving. When everyone touched me and as they've know that I needed help, I felt that it was you, I felt your love. Thank you so much. I love you Lord God.

GOODBYE MY BELOVED LONG AND WAVY HAIR

2011-01-20T23:30:00.004+08:00

Just out of the blue I wanted to make my hair short. And my best friend says if you had your hair cut done after a sad break up, you are ready or already moved on :D. Here’s are my pictures

My little brother having a haircut
It’s me! haha

My theme song as for this moment.

2011-01-19T11:58:00.001+08:00

"From The Bottom Of My Broken Heart"

*lahat ng videos sa youtube naka disable ang embed video :( Anyway here's the lyrics na lang, Saktong sakto sa akin hoho!

"Never look back," we said
How was I to know I'd miss you so?
Loneliness up ahead, emptiness behind
Where do I go?

And you didn't hear
All my joy through my tears
All my hopes through my fears
Did you know, still I miss you somehow

[CHORUS:]
From the bottom of my broken heart
There's just a thing or two I'd like you to know
You were my first love, you were my true love
From the first kisses to the very last rose
From the bottom of my broken heart
Even though time may find me somebody new
You were my real love, I never knew love
'Til there was you
From the bottom of my broken heart

"Baby," I said, "please stay.
Give our love a chance for one more day"
We could have worked things out
Taking time is what love's all about

But you put a dart
Through my dreams through my heart
And I'm back where I started again
Never thought it would end

[Repeat CHORUS]

You promised yourself
But to somebody else
And you made it so perfectly clear
Still I wish you were here

[Repeat CHORUS]

"Never look back," we said
How was I to know I'd miss you so?

Aya as a STYLIST.

2011-01-13T16:23:00.002+08:00

Because of my love for arts and fashion, I dreamt to be a fashion designer. I love to draw dresses that I want to wear on my wedding or anything special occasion or anything I want to wear in my daily life. Sometimes, I'm the one who styles the model's outfit and because of my latest shoot with Nads Sarto, I'm having interest on styling. Anyway here's the peg.

I picked her white sleveless blouse and her corset from Genevieve. I also used two petticoats so that it will look puffier. Actually her black skirt was the 2nd petticoat and underneath it is a maroon petticoat.

We also used her cute black open toe boots.

I'll post the photos from our new shoot later this week.

January 11. 2011. Should be having a photoshoot with Lemuel. So I went to Molino and stayed at the Sarto's residence and waiting for Ralph and Lem and then I found out that both guys are in Manila. At around 1630H I was preparing myself to leave because this subdivision makes me emo especially if I see the huge house on the other street but due to Din's convincing power that I should have dinner with them and be accompanied by his big brother, Kuya Nico, on going home. To make the story short, I had fun!

Thanks to Dindin, for accompanying me, making me happy and diverting my sadness and also thank you for being my instant model and for the Pancit Canton! To Kuya Nico, it's been awhile since we bond and talked like this. Thank you for accompanying me on my way home and for listening on my rants :D

I shall visit Molino after 3-4 months, it's also one of my Moving On Strategies haha

Celebrated my New Year once again without my father. He's having his duty at Precinct 3, Bangkal, Makati City. And it's the reason why my mother is a bit depressed. Anyway, I did my traditional ways like waiting for 12 to strike and then wait for 1 am and then off to my "kababata"'s house to stay there for hours or sometimes sleepover there. Anyway, I decided to go home at around 4:30 am and didn't know that there's a riot happening in front of our house and I was almost and tried to hit by the guy who is holding a baseball hat and thank God he didn't continue what he's planning to. Anyway, I'll be off to bed! Happy New Year everyone! Have a blessed 2011!!

VIOLENCE VS. KINDNESS

2010-12-24T06:52:00.000+08:00

I hate violence. I super uber mega hate violence because it can make anything worse. I rather be emotionally and mentally abused rather than physically. I hate violence because it reminds me how my father beats us, it was too harsh and not right and thankfully he changed. I'm only a human who also has a traumatic experience so anyone who beats or did something violent on me, all the violent and bad things had happened in the past, flashbacks and that's when I start to breakdown. FYI, I'm the person who hates to cry. And I guess, this is one of the reason why I wanted to be a Psychiatric Nurse/Psychiatrist/Neurologist and I really wanted to be assigned in the ward where the serial killers and lots of violent people came from, I want to know them better and the reason why are they are liked that. But I need to work for myself, to be strong so that I won't breakdown if ever anything happens, I need self awareness!!

For me, the best thing to give for a person who made you bad is Kindness. Why? Like I said violence makes everything worse so why not end it with kindness so everyhting would stop. And I think that showing kindness is a sign of strength which violence is a sign of weakness, it needs a lot of courage to show kindness and that's why they do violent acts to cover their weakness and fears. Like the Lebanese-American poet, Kahlil Gibran said ""Tenderness and kindness are not signs of weakness and despair but manifestations of strength and resolution." Forgive and be kind to others and I promise you you're life will be full of happiness and it will eventually make you more positive.

Anyway, a little rant that I need to release on my system.

OFF TOPIC: I need my google chrome back because IE sucks! haha

2010-12-17T06:20:00.002+08:00

I'm now 21 and still on denial. Anyway, I thank God for everything; the blessings, the lessons, the trial, my life, my family, my friends and to my beloved love. This year He gave me lots of blessings. I graduated from Bachelor of Science in Nursing, passed the Nursing Licensure Exam and gave me someone who will love me for who I am. And now, I'll do my best to be a good person and a good medicine student and someday to be a good doctor.

NMAT and Pre Birthday Celebration

2010-12-13T06:30:00.007+08:00

Just took the National Medicine Admission Test yesterday (December 12, 2010) at the De La Salle University. My testing room was assigned at the St. La Salle Building same with Nachee and Majo. Majo and I have the same testing room and guess what we we're sitting next to each other even though it was alphabetically arranged. And yeah, we are 3 RTR students in the same room, the other one is a lower batch and he still recognized us and at first I thought we were 4 RTR students and unfortunately the girl who's sitting behind me was not a RTR student and I was embarassed to ask her directly about our C.I. without asking if she's from our school haha but well, we got close to her. I think that we are 5 RTR students inside the Building, the other one was an alumni.

The first practical test was easy I mean I can still handle the exam but the pressure was too much. I was still at the half of Test D when the proctor announced that there are only 10 minutes left. I was doing my best to read and answer fast and luckily I've answered all the questions.

At lunch time, we stayed at Mcdo and ate our baons there while waiting for Nachee.

The second practical test was really hard and because it was really hard you can finish it ahead of time due to guessing haha. I hate Physics, I do not hate Chemistry but I can't remember all the things I've learned from High school and 1st and 2nd year college. I've finished the set ahead of time and didn't used the scratch paper given to me haha

After NMAT, I had a Last Day Celebration as a 20 year old lady at the Yellow cab with Majo, Nachee, Alex, Kym and Enski. Enski lives near Vito Cruz so I let her join in our mini celebration. I enjoyed this tiring day. Well, I super thank God for guiding me and giving me more time to celebrate. Thank you so much!

Well, to all NMAT takers. Good luck to us and I hope we will get the grades that we needed. God bless us all :D

TOMORROW

2010-12-11T05:22:00.002+08:00

Tomorrow, I'll be having my exam for NMAT (National Medical Admission Test). Yes, I'm planning to take Medicine by next year. Please pray for us!

And also tomorrow, it would be my last day being 20 years old because on the 13th would be my 21st birthday! I'm going to enjoy my day tomorrow as a young 20 year old girl :D

OFF TOPIC:

I dreamt about my boyfriend, that I sort of cheating at him and still choose him. Sort of like that haha but in reality he's the only one ok? :D

To all NMAT takers, GOOD LUCK!

December 5, 2010 -Manila Tour

2010-12-07T08:49:00.007+08:00

Me, Majo and Riqi, planned to have a mini tour in the capital of Philippines which is Manila. We planned to ride a ferryboat from Guadalupe, Makati to Intramuros and unfortunately it's Sunday and there are no schedule rides for SUNDAY! So we rode a jeepney from Guadalupe to Taft (Herran) and then rode another jeep going to Rizal Park.

1st destination: Luneta Park or also known as Rizal Park.

Rizal Park is one of the historical place in Manila, this was the place were our national hero, Jose Rizal, was killed. It was formerly known as Bagumbayan. Things you can do are visiting Jose Rizal's Monument, have a picnic, walk around, ride a Calesa (Carriage) and also ride the sort of bus thing (I'm so sorry IDK what you call that) that goes around the park. You can also visit some parks there like the Chinese Park, Japanese Park and many more.

2nd Destination: Intramuros and Fort Santiago

Intramuros is located near Rizal Park, it's a few walks away unfortunately we rode a jeepney and cost 7pesos and had to walk from the City hall to the entrance of the Intramuros. Going to Fort Santiago is a long walk from the entrance of Intramuros (near Lyceum) and yes, we did walk.

A must see places in Intramuros are:

* Casa de Manila
* San Agustin Church

* Cathedral-Basilica of the Immaculate Conception or famously known as Manila Cathedral

A trivia about San Agustin. Did you know that the remains of Miguel Lopez de Legaspi, Juan de Salcedo and Martin de Goiti and some Spanish Governor-General and Archibishops are buried near the tabernacle. And also the painter, Juan Luna and stateman Pedro Paterno, their bodies also lays in the Church.

Manila Cathedral is also a resting place former prelates who have served the Archdiocese of Manila (like the Vatican in Rome for Popes).

Fort Santiago, is a fortress within Intramuros. It is located near the Manila Cathedral. The time we came there were lots of Virgin Mary Images parked because there would be an event at 1600H at the Manila Cathedral. At the Fort proper, you will see the foot steps of Dr. Jose Rizal. You'll also see the replica of Rizal's prison. You should visit the Rizal Shrine where you can see the collections of photos and poems of the national hero. At the far part of Fort Santiago, you'll se the dungeons used by the Japanese conquerors to kill the Filipino soldiers and also a cross for the memoriam of the Filipinos killed.

3rd Destination: Binondo and Manila China Town

From Intramuros we rode a jeepney from Intramuros and rode another jeep going to Binondo. We were dropped in front of Minor Basilica of St. Lorenzo Ruiz. We visited the well known Binondo Church and stroll around Binondo to find a Chinese restaurant for lunch. And we decided to eat at Tasty Wok in the Manila China Town.

I had Sweet and Sour Fish and a dessert of Black Gulaman. And also don't forget to buy Hopia and Mooncakes at Eng Bee Tin, the color purple Hopia Store!

4th and last destination: Divisoria

Binondo is near Divisoria, just a few walks away. Divisoria is the place where you'll find cheap things. We went to 168 mall and the new mall, 999 mall. A little warning about your things, there a lots of snatchers, so be careful.

Ohana

2010-12-03T04:08:00.002+08:00

And because of this little event lots of facebook users reminisced their childhood. And of course almost of my friends are "The Children of the 90's".

When I was a kid I love watching Animes/Cartoons, nothing can beat those old sentais, the first ever Power Ranger, Sesame Street, old cartoons from Cartoon Network and Nickelodeon. I miss my childhood and while reminiscing these things, and there I realized that I'm really getting old haha and connection to this 10 days to go I'll be turning 21!

And when I was in College, I love the portion of NCM that discusses about Mental Health and Pediatrics and I also love Philippine History, World Literature and Asian Civilization :D For me, liking and being serious on a subject depends on the professor/teacher who's teaching (I mean how the way he/she teach the subject is another plus point) and how interesting the subject is, well except for History, I love History ever since!

One Day More

2010-11-20T00:33:00.000+08:00

One day more! Another day, another destiny. This never-ending road to Calvary; These men who seem to know my crime will surely come a second time. One day more!.. just kidding. YAY! One day more and I'll have at last my freedom!! I haven't noticed that it is nearly over but I enjoyed being grounded for one week, I've save money and it made me study because of boredom.

Speaking of One Day More, I'm getting addicted to this song, One day more by the Les Miserables Original London Casts. I should have watch The 25th Anniversary Concert of Les Miserables but I don't have enough money for a plane ticket to London. Anyway, I'll buy a dvd of it.

Day Fourteen: Do you have a siblings? Talk about them, or talk about what's it's like to be an only child

2010-11-20T00:22:00.000+08:00

I actually have 5 siblings, literally, it's sort of a complicated one. My older sister died (my father's daughter from his first wife), I have two adopted older brother but never saw them really because there were somewhere I don't know but still I considered them as my brothers, I hope I can meet them someday. And then I was born, and then two little monsters (brothers) were followed. So I'll write things about my little brothers.

The one who followed me is Ramon. He was nicknamed Butchokoy when we were young but later became Toking due to my "bulol" speech when I was little. He's the most snobbish person I've met, he's has the same name as my father and they also have the same personality. They love to make pranks and snobbish with the people they don't know. He's also has the most weakest immune system and accidental prone. I think he was born to stay at MMC haha when he was still in High School he always stay at the hospital every year.

My youngest brother, Monico, he was nicknamed Mico but later became Nico but I call him Mamoy (Monico + Baboy). He's a super huge fat guy and loves to eat HOTDOGS! Every new people we met always mistaken Monico as the eldest of the three of us, and he is happy about that. A little trivia about him, when my mother is pregnant and having an ultrasound, the doctors find out that the baby my mother carrying is a girl and my mother planned to name "HER", Monica, and then August 6 came and "SHE" was born and it turns out SHE's a HE.

Both of my brothers are closed to me but both of them told me that they sort of hate each other. I both love them and I'm so lucky to have brothers like them. People are envious of our relationship with each other, we protect each other from harm (especially from our parents) and love each other. They were the most sweetest brothers I've seen although sometimes they cause pain still I'm thankful to have them.

Day Thirteen: Your thoughts or opinion about Mean Girls

2010-11-19T02:43:00.000+08:00

Lindsay Lohan? My only opinion that the movie shows that bullying and violence is really rampant in US High school students and the movie tries to let the watchers see that everyone can be friends anyone sort of like that.

Day Twelve: Your thoughts or opinions about Harry Potter

2010-11-17T23:48:00.000+08:00

Harry Potter, the character itself? Or the book? Or the movie?

Anyway, Harry Potter is a poor lad who grew up with his meanie relatives. I pity him for having an extended family like them. Well isn't nice that he met the Weasleys, Hermione and the rest of the Hogwarts' family. About the book, I've only read 2 or 3 books of Harry Potter. Reading Harry Potter will make your imaginations go gaga and it would be nice to dream that your a wizard and sort of like that. Let me say that J.K. Rowling is a superb writer (and now a millionaire, thanks to Harry Potter haha). About the movie, the cast are superb, the effects and the movie itself is a superb. I still love Harry Potter over the Twilight Saga and I'll choose Rupert Grint over Rob Pattinson. In short, I love Harry Potter, it's been a part of us, of my childhood life. I watched every movie and followed how Harry Potter and the gang grew up (and also the casts). And I will not miss the last two movie for the world.
