My baby sister is the cutest ever!

Early morning of April 11, 2012

Ate Bebe and Tito Delfin, waking up Icy, pulling her out of bed for class…Icy gets up, went straight to the sofa where she usually ends up lying down again.

Nanay: May Birthday mamaya. Magluluto tayo ng pansit at maraming pagkain. Gising     na dali (to Icy)

Icy: Birthday ko! Ayoko ng pansit! Gusto ko ng cake! Malaking cake!

Nanay and Ate Bebe laughing from what they heard. Agreeing to the little girl.

The real birthday celebrant walks in the sofa.

Icy: (Shouted) Happy Birthday, Ate Lala!

Ignored by Lala.

Icy: (Shouted again) Happy Birthday, Ate Lala!

Lala: Aww…(Don’t really know what happened out there. I was just hearing it from my bedroom while I am studying. This is my break time from studying since last night. It’s been 12 hrs of studying already. Straight!)

Icy ready to leave for school. Tito Delfin gets up for breakfast.

Icy: Bu-bye, Daddy! Alis nako!

Tito Delfin: Bu-bye, love ko!

Icy: Daddy, bu-bye!

(pause for awhile) 

Icy: Daddy, bakit ayaw mo ko tingnan?!

Tito Delfin laughs…trying to apologize and compensate Icy’s little grouch by looking through the doorway watching Icy walk by.

Tito Delfin: Eto nga po, tinitingnan kita oh.

Icy: (Smiles happily) Bu-bye, Daddy!

My charming baby sister! Makes your day so great! :) One of the reasons why I think and feel life is so beautiful!

Any idea?

THBT the UN should hire private military companies for
peacekeeping

This house would ban the use of private military contractors in war zones

How to save money?

These advice are for me, alone. I realized that one day I know what to do, the next day I don’t. FORGETFUL ME, as always.

First, when you buy, think whether you want it or need it. Be specific in drawing the line between wants and needs, sometimes, we can easily not recognize the difference. For ex, a tank top which is super nice and you just can’t stop thinking of it. It is a want if you just really wanna have that top and wear it. But if you think that you haven’t bought anything for the past six months and all your clothes have been worn for thousand times and you are actually someone who is capable of buying it without losing the buying power for another needs, then GO!

That was too general.

Anyways, this is what Angelica should do. DAILY

1. Stop splurging on TAXI fares!!! If you can walk, or ride the bus just do it! Wake up early to have enough time to walk to you university!
2. Eat at home if you can. Don’t eat out when it’s not necessary!
3. Bring a mini-jug in uni to refill! Don’t buy drinks every now and then. It’s around 20 MOP each day as well, which accumulates to 400 a month, only counting weekdays.
4. Don’t go out every single night or suddenly come in a random invite! That’s like around 100 Mop every night. Cost and benefit analysis. But you know that not going is better, I just can’t justify it right now yet :(

WHAT angelica should do MONTHLY.

1. Save up your salary DEAR. Don’t be a one day millionaire, 29 days broke girl!
2. Budget your money for your monthly expenses. THINK of the places where you can go in SUMMER if you save it up!
3. Work and get that job if you can! 
4. Save the subsidies you will get. Oh my, can I be thrifty!
5. For clothes, clean your closet and see what goodies you might have been having all along. That will feel like you have something new in your closet. HAHAH.

OKAY, this is my motivation to save money. CHINA! PUTONGHUA. You will have ENOUGH money to stay in CHINA and STUDY for whole 3 months if you do these, Angelica.

How do you keep calm when you lose precious stuff?

How? I lost my galaxy tab and my camera in a row. Who experienced that? Those were gifts to me from my dad and from my ex-bf. Well, I think when you grow older, your response to situations like this becomes different. Like when I was 15 or 16, I lost my first smart phone which a gift again! I literally, broke a public toilet. Not only is it public, it’s in the Venetian hotel. I kept shouting and asking every worker there. Looking back, it’s stupid and funny. Now, I lost two favorite stuff I had and I actually didn’t react much. Well, of course, I did but not too much like before.

Well, what do you do be calm? First is THINK. Think why you misplaced it, why it was gone. Obviously, no matter what you think the reason is, uou will realize that it is GONE. That even if you scream, cry, shout, get angry, it won’t come back to you. Unless, you are being played by your friends, or you are simply lucky. 

Anyways, for those who are optimistic like me. What makes me calm is the fact that I think something so big and better will come. That those lost things are misplaced for a reason and that it will be compensated in the near future in whatever way. I’m gonna start working my ass off, be more careful obviously. (Though I know it’s kinda hard for forgetful people like me) 

Anyways, this lesson applies to other aspects of my life, not only in losing personal awesome belongings. But also, losing people. Like losing in a way that you are no longer close with them as you were before. When you felt like you tried hard to get that relationship back and still doesn’t work, means you lose them. HAHA, just think that it’s for the better of both. Plus, there’s billion of people waiting and dying to make new friends, that friend can be YOU. 

Oh small place MACAU, I wanna explore! Bring me to mainland China. (Safely)

Awesome

Months have passed. Almost never wanted to write again. I felt like I was lost, never gonna be able to sustain myself. Too many questions and confusions, what am I saying? Is it because I just watched inception. It was almost impossible for me not to write about something big I felt, something big that happen, something that is quite a major transition in my life, but it happened(Now, I am changing that.) Because I love life stories, my most favourite book is my biography.(not because I’m self-centered but just because of trust and love)

Well, I am nineteen. Let’s say the very reason I am not incentivize to write is because nothing good was there. I usually am optimistic but sometimes, reality will really strike. Come on, I was disappointed with myself in many ways that I never ran out of fingers to point to others.(“He was to be blamed.”, “If only she was good mother..”, “He’s pressuring me too much.”,”It’s the church, they plant too many stuff in your mind that has a lot of loopholes.”, “Can’t grasp it!”) But it was just me not being able to contain that thoughts properly like I used to. Of course, it leads to stress causing myself more problems and I know that. I guess one thing good that happened; my freedom was heightened. I didn’t care about society, didn’t care about what people think of me, didn’t care about my grades, about those ambitions at the moment. I knew I could reach them anyway. All I wanted that time was sleep and rest, that’s what I gave to my thirsty body and spirit.

Wondering.

I had the weirdest dream ever. What was that suppose to mean? I was secretly having an affair with a man who is more than twice my age. OMG. Where did that come from?

Salamin

No complaints! Live life to the fullest. There’s so much of you that you haven’t seen. Feels so great to discover them one by one. :)

Sweet partner

God, help me not be so stubborn anymore. I wanna learn to be subtle and listen to those who actually really care for me.

Also, this is it. It starts here! The battle I joined I guess is a lot. I know it’s a bad action, but help me get through it. With your grace, help me win it! You know what these are:

1. Dynamic (It’s something I have been struggling to get back to.)
2. Panda (I’ve got to execute this!)
3. Queen (Numero Uno Problema)
4. Egg (Boredom must say farewell)

Other than those You know, my number one priority still other than You is my Familia. Take care of them okay. Take care of my dearest friends too. Let them know I’m secretly praying for their happiness and protection. I love You. Help me let these people know how much I love them, too.

Thank You! I have faith in You.
