I Want to Know What Love Is...

I want you to show me
I wanna feel what love is
I know you can show me

Got this link from Sarah C. It's cool! It's a repository of Billboard's #1 song on a specific date in history. And for my birth date, It's the song I Want to Know What Love Is by Foreigner. Maybe that's why I love the song, nyehehehe!;p

My Dad has reached 50!

Wohow just imagine all the experiences he's got! 28 more years for me to reach that age and that's more than the years I have existed on earth.

My dad turned 50 last November 12 but we celebrated it the day before so our family friends and relatives working on weekdays could be with us. Preparation didn't seem less, thanks to my aunts and uncles who were "on call" and responded immediately! Thanks also to my mom's sister in her generous heart, sent money in addition for the food cost. To all who greeted my dad, thanks to you. Let me be my dad's spokesperson for this ^-^ Pictures to be uploaded soon.

The first paragraph of this entry isn't complete yet. (Oh, never mind the syntax or right way of organizing them, and my english teachers have nothing to with this alright, haha). Here's the continuation.

Looking at my 22 years of existence. I thought, I went through a lot already.
I've had experienced victories, failures, trials, sorrows and blisses. But reaching the golden age is still a long journey. So how many more trials to conquer and how many more victories to celebrate? I appreciate the latter but hardly the trials.

I thought that receiving my university diploma was it! But it's just the beginning. You look for a job and when you have one, you find reasons to stay motivated on the job. My dad is working for nearly 30 years now (and tell you, it's just one company he works with), how did he do that?! And me, only a year and four months hahaha and sometimes I wanna quit. I'm somehow earning for myself and budgeting isn't easy. How much more when you're raising a family? I could write more of the things I anticipate. Therefore, can I say that I haven't gone through a lot yet? May be the question does not matter.

But one thing, i am confident even am not sure how long or short my journey here would be because my life was written already. All I have to do is ask God continuously to strengthen my faith and believe that a victorious future lies ahead:)

Lagi naman, what's new???

I am so homesick and I pretty know what my closest friends would tell. "lagi naman" or "what's new??" Oh, i am not in denial about it! It's true, esp during mondays that I have to leave our home and be back on saturdays. My home is 40 miles away from Alabang and don't be surprised cause way back in college, i experience it many times (Los BaƱos is just 30-40min drive away from home). I remember my classmate from Mindanao comparing her situation with mine. She goes home during Christmas and Summer only. But me, I get to see my family every week hehe! Well, the good thing is that this feeling goes away with time.

The two consecutive holidays made the weekend longer, I'm grateful! Maybe that's why, I'm not yet over being home, I guess that wouldn't happen too =p There are many things I could do at home. I can grab a guitar or turn on the keyboard and play, watch tv or DVDs which I just did and congratulate myself for completing 49 episodes of a series I should have watched long before (I became anti-social at the time hehe), still check on my emails, surf the internet, music trip, make kulit with my siblings, private family talk, sleep early as in early in the morning and wake up late, do nothing, etc etc! Even though we have to rotate our shifts looking for my mom, I consider it rest na din.

There are plans I wasn't able to accomplish though. Days before the holiday, I asked my Kuya to teach me drive, yeah I know it's not a one day lesson but just to acquaint me with driving stuff. I also downloaded a software for me to record songs I really like playing with the keyboard but learning the sw is really time-consuming, at least getting started is fine. Lastly, I want to learn the "photoshopping" but again, at least, I end up talking with my photographer church mate and told me he can teach me the tricks if I have time!;)

I have to finish this entry. My plan was only to share my homesickness but it turned to have add-ons on it :)

***asking God to help me cope with my homesickness***

God bless everyone!:D
