Ok, I got back from Auckland more than a month ago. Things got so excited that I wasn’t able to online to blog about Auckland. Three words though: It was Awesome!!

Okay, enough about Auckland and on with what’s up.

Funny how things worked out. I was looking through my blogs and tried to search for some progress. Thankfully, I found some. I usually just start off with 3 blogs and then I’ll leave it all behind. Anyway, so as I was flicking through my blog entries and I found an entry dated June 10, 2009 titled Off To University? It’s been more than a year ago and funny how, right now, at this very moment, I’m dealing with the same thing. It’s been a year and I’m still not a student. :/

Things changed, though. Back then I said I wanted to be a Film and Theater student. This time around, I wanted to be an Interior Designer. Praise God I didn’t go to school last year, or I will just waste my time taking the wrong course. It’s been just a few months since I decided on majoring in film that I changed my mind to Interior Designing. It makes perfect sense taking it, though, since I have been designing rooms since I could move furniture in my room. So I stick with it, now I can’t imagine myself doing anything else. Maybe because I’ve already imagined myself doing everything, there’s nothing left to imagine.

We’re still waiting for our permanent residency. How I survive another year of no school? I don’t know. But yah, I survived. I have been doing sketches of houses and furniture to help me improve artistically. I’m still trying to do some sketches of interiors. But all these are just copies of photographs. I practice so I can sketch using my imagination. Also, work kept me busy but I’m leaving soon since it’s affecting my health. I will look for another job just in case uni won’t come for me this year again. Another year of no school? I have no idea what will become of me by the end of next year.

I am hoping our residency will turn up before December 10. That’s the date of the last day of enrollment. But this time, I won’t expect anything anymore, I won’t plan anything anymore. I’ll just let it flow and leave everything to God. And whatever His plan is, I will trust in Him.

Hi from Auckland

I just got this email a few minutes ago from my mom. It’s one of those forwarding emails you thought you don’t want to read but as I started.. I got hooked. The essay was the best part, so be sure to read every thing especially that.

Dear All,

PLEASE ENSURE YOU READ THIS TO THE END, PREFERABLY WHEN YOU ARE LESS BUSY.

I can only imagine…

Heaven as written by a 17 Year Old Boy

This is excellent and really gets you thinking about what will happen in Heaven.

17-year-old Brian Moore had only a short time to write something for a class. The subject was what Heaven was like. “I wowed ‘em,” he later told his father, Bruce. “It’s a killer. It’s the bomb. It’s the best thing I ever wrote.” It also was the last.

Brian’s parents had forgotten about the essay when a cousin found it while cleaning out the teenager’s locker at Teays Valley High School in Pickaway County

Brian had been dead only hours, but his parents desperately wanted every piece of his life near them, notes from classmates and teachers, and his homework. Only two months before, he had handwritten the essay about encountering Jesus in a file room full of cards detailing every moment of the teen’s life. But it was only after Brian’s death that Beth and Bruce Moore realized that their son had described his view of heaven.

It makes such an impact that people want to share it. “You feel like you are there,” Mr. Moore said.. Brian Moore died May 27, 1997, the day after Memorial Day. He was driving home from a friend’s house when his car went off Bulen-Pierce Road inPickaway County and struck a utility pole. He emerged from the wreck unharmed but stepped on a downed power line and was electrocuted.

The Moore ’s framed a copy of Brian’s essay and hung it among the family portraits in the living room. “I think God used him to make a point. I think we were meant to find it and make something out of it,” Mrs. Moore said of the essay. She and her husband want to share their son’s vision of life after death. “I’m happy for Brian. I know he’s in heaven. I know I’ll see him.

Here is Brian’s essay entitled:

And then he said, “what if she visits. I don’t want to see you get hurt.” I smiled to let him know that everything’s going to be fine. That my feelings for this other guy was nothing serious at all. But as I turned away from my friend, my lips betrayed my words as it turned into a frown. My eyes fluttered trying to keep it from bursting tears. And as I pursed my lips to prevent my self from spatting out unwanted wails of hurt, I ran down the stairs and locked myself in the bathroom. One deep breath was all it took for all the suffocating emotions to flow out of my eyes.

Last night was a blast at Majoe’s birthday. I organized it… Well co-organized it with Kua Led and finally, I was happy with the outcome of the party. I like how the design turned out even if it wasn’t exactly what I wanted. But it happens all the time. There are times when good ideas never work. I did have a lot of fun last night and I’m proud of myself with what I did.

I’m not going on full details on what happened at the party. But I gotta mention the crazy as cake fight at the end of the party. And I’ll post photos when I get them then hopefully the photos will show you the fun we all had last night. That was the best part of organizing an event – seeing the invited people how much fun they were having. The stress, the troubles and the problems were paid off by just the thank you and seeing the smiles on people’s faces. And the fact that they’re staying a bit longer just because they still don’t want to go.

People say I should be an event organizer. I answer, I don’t like the stress it’s giving me. I need a team with me and money to support this. But somehow, event organizing is my way of fulfilling my love for film because I imagine the event as to how it will appear in a film. It never occured to me to be an event organizer just because when I was a kid, I don’t make parties because I’m scared people won’t show up. It’s very embarassing when I wanted a huge as party and no one shows up. So i never make parties. I do have parties but only random ones like we’ll just think about going to our place and just have a pool party. That I know is going to be small but at least it’s not the embarassing type.

Event organizing is so much work and it takes ages of planning! But I’m surprised that friends actually asks me to help organize their party. It always starts with asking me if I could design the event and turns out, the people I help really needs help with not just the design but the whole thing. I love to help out, really! And I don’t know where all these event ideas are coming from but it’s coming out. It must have been because of too much Hollywood in my head. The parties, award shows, premieres, after parties, launches, fashion shows… I love to party. And luckily when I was growing up, I was able to go to different parties and events of my parents. And my grandma does a lot of parties as well. And also my mom organize events so I get tips from her. Just tips! That’s probably where I get ideas. The social life of my grandma! I swear, if we were in orange county, california or upper east side, manhattan, our family won’t miss all the charities and benefit events and stuff the rich family goes to coz of my grandma. She’s very sociable!

Anyway, so yeah… I’m still not thinking about going on professional events organizer. I’ll still fulfill my dreams of becoming an interior designer and actress before having events organizer as a sideline. But who knows? I might be infected by the family disease where we don’t actually do the career of the degree we finished. Events organizer… Only if it’s in Hollywood!

Photos coming soon! And also, a big shout out to God for being with me last night. Parties are million times better when God is with you and you share it with Him!

I can’t take this anymore! I WANT ONE! I don’t know why, but it must have been because of my love for design that’s why I wanted MacBook pro so much. It stylish, it lasts a long time, and it’s amazing. First time I used it was for my media studies back in year 13 here in NZ. And that was the time I fell in love with this computer. I freakin love it so much. It was supposedly my gift for myself. But turns out I bought myself a hair straightener and a hair dryer, which I’m not regretting by the way. But I seriously can’t take it anymore. I’m so sacrificing my shopping just to get one. I need to cure my shopping addiction, it’s bad!!! Lol

So anyway, I can’t really see myself buying a Windows laptop. It’s freaking slow when you use it all the time, virus comes and comes and never goes (unless you reboot it, which takes up too much time), it’s freakin heavy, and it’s not stylish. Lol. Anyway, if I’m meant to have one, I will. But i seriously can’t wait!!! Me want one. I’m going crazy here now!

This is to answer Angelo’s question in his comment.. (Big ups to you man on camp!!)

He came to camp, actually. The guy… And I was pretty much waiting for him to come… He came kind of late… And from the moment he walked in the camp site, I knew we’re just friends. I asked God to help me out and show it to me on camp. Well, He did answer my prayer. I’m good friends with this guy, though. So I didn’t tell him, and the question of whether or not I should tell him is not bothering me anymore…

Though, camp introduced another drama that I pretty much don’t wanna think and talk about it for now. ;)

Waah, I miss camp and I can’t believe I didn’t put any blog about it… A photo is worth a thousand words.. and I have 1000+ photos… awesome aye?? but yeah

Paano Nga Ba?

I was randomly visiting fansites and I remembered this: Enchong Dee World. Ok it’s a freakin rare occasion that I visit a Pinoy celebrity fansite even if I’m a huge fan of. And Enchong Dee? I’m no where near a fan (mainly coz he’s from ABS-CBN but he’s not that bad. He doesn’t make my “kinda cute” guy, seriously but ok I have to admit, he’s not bad… At least with acting… And he’s a SWIMMER! I dig swimmers. But his major turn off is he’s Kapamilya. Lol babaw noh?)

Well, anyway… to the main business. I was going through websites and stumble upon my friend’s site. (Oh please do visit even if you’re not a fan coz he deserve the hits!) And I saw Enchong and Erich’s (oh I’m a huge fan of Erich, though… Mainly coz she’s cute.) new movie trailer. The movie’s called “Paano ko Sasabihin” and the title itself captured me. I can’t fully relate to the entire story, but the message it brings does.

“Paano kung di ka nya naririnig?”
What if he can’t hear you?

“Paano kung pagod ka na magpanggap?”
What if you’re tired of pretending?

“Paano mo sasabihin?”
How are you going to admit it?

Ugghh… Exactly the questions I wanted answered!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Seriously… I just couldn’t help but watch the trailer and all. I’m actually curious what’s it all about. Well, I know the obvious: they both thought the other was deaf but truth is, they’re not. But I know there’s something behind it. I want to watch and MAYBE find the answer.

It has been weeks I’ve asked the question “How am I going to say I like a guy when he obviously couldn’t see me.” And yes, it is connected to my previous post, Oh Boy. The same guy who I have felt something different. I admit, I’m not yet sure if there’s something more than attraction. But whatever. I have camp to tell me if there really is something different about this guy. And I know it’s going to be more confusing if there’s something going to happen at camp, which I hope I will survive.

Oh God, help!

It’s 11 o’clock and it’s work night, but whatevs. I wake up pretty late everyday anyway. At least I’m not late for work. Lol… Anyway, I’m just blogging. It’s easter, so happy bunny to everyone. It also means fasting. Right now, I have no idea what I’d do for fasting. I can’t sacrifice my internet time, because I rarely go online and I need to go online seeing as I’m doing the YFC website and is planning on finishing it before camp comes. Maybe that’s why I have free time next week off work. Lol…

Anyway, I won’t blog about camp til it’s actually here. I’m blogging about something real personal… So here goes.

I’ll start with a question: What would you do when you like someone and he only sees you as a friend? One person told me, I shouldn’t waste my time over this person. And a few others encouraged me to admit it to him. The thing is, both do have a point.
