Its almost been a year…

Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullah. (May the peace and mercy of Allah be with you)

Its almost been a year since i posted and visited this site. Ten months had passed and a lot of things had already happened.I’ve been in a place that i didn’t imagine to go to, I’ve  met a lot of people that I didn’t think I can meet, I am doing things that I didn’t imagine I can do, and I am stress like i’ve never been before alhamdulillah…

It’s hard to explain how I feel as of these moment of writing. I feel nervous for some reason, i’ve had a headache because of my runny nose and I feel so stress just of thinking on what would I need to do… I want to do a lot of things but it seems like those things that i want to do doesn’t want me… I am doing my best but I guess my best wasn’t good enough.

I think I still need my all best to finish all of these and may Allah help me inshaAllah.

Ramadhan 2011

Assalamu Alaikum.

The month of Ramadhan is here again alhamdulillah.

Ramadhan is the holy month for Muslims around the world like me. For these month, muslims must do one month fasting. Fasting is not just as simply as not eating and not drinking but fasting is a cleansing of your whole body, soul and mind. As the hadith says, doing fasting is like imitating the angels wherein you will just obey Allah’s will for the whole month.

For these month, i didn’t feel too much hunger unlike the other years. Maybe its because I already already know the real reason why do i need to fast alhamdulillah.

You, if you’re a muslim, what do you feel while fasting?

AABC Night with our 1st year students

Ngayon ay ika 8 ng Oktubre 2010 sa ganap na 2:51 ng madaling-araw at kasalukuyang nanonood ng The Grudge 3 kasama ang AABC faculty and Staff na kinabibilangan ko, Mam Sha, Sir Gaddi, Sir Jhun, Badeth, Ken, Jamila, Lee at ni kuya Eboy(na kasaluyang natutulog na) at ng mga 1st y ear students.

We had a Pajama Party or a Closing Party because we are already closing the school. After a long time of thinking, at last the decision had been finalize. Although hindi ito ang ginusto naming tipo ng pagwawakas, wala na kaming magawa pang iba. Actually ginawa na namin lahat ng magagawa namin for the survival of this school kaso wala na talaga.Pero may mga plano pa naman kami after this inshaAllah.

I’ve heard the messages of the students, how gratitude they feel for their achievements in the school…nakakalungkot at di na namin sila matutulungan pa. Pero wala naman na kasi talaga kaming magawa e. Mas lalo lang din kasi silang mahihirapan pag pinagpatuloy pa namin to.

Sa AABC ko nasimulan ang mga pangarap ko lang noon, ang makapag-aral sa ibang bansa, ang makatapos ng khit vocational, ang mkapagtrabaho,at ang maktulong sa iabang tao. Pero hindi porket magsasara na ito, e magtatapos na din ang iba ko pang mga pangarap. I am still beginning and will continue my dreams with my GroupAID and Keystroke Design Studio family inshaAllah…:-)

My High School Life —->

At last makakapagsulat na naman ako. Nainspire kasi ako sa nabasa kong essay ng friend ko since high school eh.Nakakatouch…:-l…

Siguro kung tatanungin ako kung anong part ng buhay ko ang gusto kong balikan, ang isasagot ko ay “ang High School Life ko”. Bakit? Kasi nung high school time ko nafeel ang contentment ng buhay ko as a teenager. Contentment in the sense na nafulfill ko ang pagiging high school student ko. Nafulfill ko kasi naging classroom officer ako although naging officer din naman ako nung nasa elementarya pa ako, pero noon lang ako naging school officer as an Auditor. Nasubukan kong sumama sa mga seminar gaya ng Anti-Drug Campaign ng pamahalaan, para sa scholarship ng di ko na kung anong NGO org yun, at iba pa, di ko na kasi matandaan eh. Noon ko lang din nasubukan makasama sa Lakbay-Aral o Field Trip, yun ay noong 1st year at 4th year ako. Noon lang din ako unang nakapasok sa Araneta Astrodome at nakapanood ng isang stage play titled “Anne in the Attic”. Noon ko nasubukang sumama sa Girl Scout camping somewhere in Manila ata yun as our School’s  Girl Scout Representative with my other 2 schoolmates. Naging CAT cadete ako at naging CAT Officer as the S2 of 101 Battalion after ng training. Noon ko nasubukang magpuyat to the max na minsan ay para maglaba hanggang alas una o alas dos ng madaling-araw para lang makapunta ng training kinabukasan(hindi kasi ako pwedeng umalis ng bahay hanggang di ako nakapaglaba) at kung  minsan ay dahil sa mga proyekto namin o takdang-aralin na kailangan ng maiapasa kinabukasan. Noon ko unang naranasan ang mapressure sa iskwela dahil sa matatalino kong kaiskwela, in short natuto na akong mag-aral ng seryosohan.  Noon din ako unang nagka- boyfriend ng hindi alam ng mama ko kahit magkatabi lang ung school ko at yung pinagtuturuan nya…hehehe…At ang higit sa lahat, noon at hanggang magpahanggang ngayon ko nakilala ang aking mga  TUNAY NA KAIBIGAN.

Ang mga tunay kong kaibigan na kahit di na kami laging nagkikita at nagkakasama-sama, andon pa rin at hindi nawawala ang thouthfulness at caring ng bawat isa. Sila ang una kong napagsabihan tungkol sa naging boyfriend ko, nakasama kong umiyak at tumawa sa maraming pagkakataon. Sila ang nakasama ko sa ilang kalokohan noon na syang lubos kong namimiss ngayon…Sila, sila, sila…Si Catherine “Cat 2x” Tejero(ang muse ng grupo), si Christine “Tin 2x” Cuaresma (ang baby namin), at si Carmela “Ella” de Leon (ang ate/kuya naming lahat…hehehe…).

Nakakamiss ngang talaga…Hay kung maibabalik ko lang talaga…Sana naivideo ko lahat ng mga nangyari noon para malinaw ko pa ring napapanood at naaalala ngayon… Guys I miss you now and forever…Love you Lots…:-)…muahhhhhhh………..

One week and 2 days…

Ngayong mga panahon na ito, na tinatawag na “Modern Period“, kung saan sanay na tayong laging nasa harap ng computer at nag-iinternet, na laging nakacharge ang cellphone, mahilig manood ng mga pelikula o tv, makinig ng radyo at kung anu-ano  pa na maaaring gawin gamit ang KURYENTE….Pero pa’no kung biglang isang araw nawalan ng ilaw? Maaring dahil sa malakas na bagyo o may kinukumpuning sirang kawad ng kuryente o pinutulan ng KURYENTE? Hehehehe:-)… Paano nga kaya? Ang hirap isipin noh?

Noong nakaraang linggo, angyari sa amin yun. Bigla kming nawalan ng kuryente. Ang akala namin nagbrown-out lang kaso, nakabukas naman ang radyo sa katabi naming bahay. Sabi ko baka pumutok ang fuse, sabi nila nakabreaker naman daw kami kaya imposible yun. Lumibot mga kasama ko sa labas, lahat may kuryente kami lang pala ang nawalan, sa madaling salita, naputulan nga kami ng kuryente:-(…

Nung una akala namin napakahirap ng magiging sitwasyon namin. Kasi ang unang lumabas sa mga bibig namin, “Paano na yung dinadownload ko?“, “Ano ba yan di pa tapos yung pinapanood natin malapit pa naman ng mag-end.“, “Paano yung klase ngayong araw na ito?“, “Paano na mamayang gabi?:-( ???????

Pero sa totoo lang, don namin narealize lalo na ako kung gaano katatag ang relasyon naming magkakaibigan

. Na sa kabila ng kalungkutan dahil sa pagkawala ng kuryente naging masaya kami :-) . Na sa kabila ng tahimik na mga araw at gabi nag-ingay kami :-) … Na sa kabila ng madidilim na gabi nafeel namin na di kami iiwan na natatakot ng mga KAIBIGAN namin :-) … Na sa kabila ng mga nakakatakot na mga asaran at kwentuhan sa bandang huli patatawanin ka nila hanggang sa halos makaihi ka na sa salawal mo :-) … Hehehe :-) ….

Sa loob ng isang linggo at dalawang araw na yon na wala kaming kuryente marami kaming naranasan na bihirang mangyari lalo na sa uri ng trabaho namin… Na pag-gabi pagkatapos makapaghapunan, kung saan-saan na lang kmi nagkakayayaan. Napunta kmi sa Cubao na dapat sa Ministop lang naman dapat, namili kmi samantalang wala naman sa plano yun, na kahit umuulan, sige pa rin at di mapigil ang mga paa at halakhakan ng bawat isa sa amin. Nakapamasyal kami for the first time sa lugar nila Sir Jhun sa Antipolo (Ang saya-saya salaat po:-)). Nakiramay kami at nakatakas ng isang gabi sa kadiliman sa pagpunta namin sa burol ng mama ng isa pa naming kaibigan na si Joseph sa Montalban, Rizal (condolence Osep). Nagpaampon kami ng tatlong araw sa opisina nila Sir Gaddi (salamat Sir…) :-)

Sa loob ng isang linggo at dalawang araw na yon, nakita namin ang katatagan ng samahan namin na WALANG IWANAN…  Mas nakilala namin ang isa’t isa at nakabonding at bawat isa :-) … Na sa  loob ng mga araw na yon na puno kami ng frustration, pagkaawa at pag-aalala sa mga bagay bagay nagawa naming makapagbonding ng sama-sama at masaya… Na masasabi naming kung sakaling MAWALAN ULI KAMI NG KURYENTE, iisipin na lang  namin na talagang sinadya yun ng Diyos na mangyari para magkabonding kaming magkakaibigan kasi sabi nga, “Everything happens for a purpose“.

Whom I am PROUD of…

I don’t know how to start. But I really want to write something about the one who I am proud of.

We are not that close as in. But she is the most important person in my life. That I think I can’t live without her or should i say, i am not here writing and living  without her.

But why I am proud of her?Is it just because I had a “utang na loob” to her? I don’t think so.

I am proud of her because she is a very very strong person. That despite of all the problems or trials came to her, she is still there standing tall to everybody. That despite of all the heartache that her family give to her, she can still smile to everybody and make them feel happy. That whenever she is there, I feel comfortable and safe. That when she is there, my day is wonderful which I pray to be like that each and everyday of my life. And whenever she is not around I feel emptiness.  That she is doing her very best to make her family happy which can cause her health in danger.That she is the one that teaches me on how to be independent and strong even she don’t know it. That she is my inspiration most of anybody else.

But as I’ve said a while ago, we are not close. I can’t even tell her my problems nor tell her my feelings to somebody or what. I can’t talk to her just the way she is talking to her friends or co-workers.  I can’t even talk to her on what I am doing now. That I am doing all of these not for myself but for her. Because I really want to make her life comfortable whenever the time comes that she already needs to be under my care. I want her to feel the comfortable life she wanted even when she is still a child and InshaAllah (In Allah’s Will) I can do it. Even though I can’t give her her dreams as of now but InshaAllah I will.  That even though I am telling her that I love her just in the form of text, I really mean it from the bottom of my heart. That even sometimes, no, not sometimes but most of the time I am giving her a loud voice when we are talking or she is asking something to me that makes me feel irritated, I don’t mean it, really. That after of those incidents, I really feel guilty as in…Allah knows that.

She is my superwoman. She is my real savior since Allah permitted me to live on her womb. Yes it is her. THE ONE I AM PROUD OF IS NONE OTHER THAN MY MOTHER, MRS. LUZMINDA BANAAG BARBADO. Mama, if you can only read this blog, I know how much pain I gave you and to our family on my mistakes, but tdespite of all that thing happen, you are still there supporting and shielding me against to those who want to make me down, you are my wings that without you I can’t fly. I know I am not the perfect daughter that you are wishing, and even though you are not the perfect mother and wife in the whole world, I still want you to be my mother forever inshaAllah. I love you mama, I just can’t say it personally but in my heart, I love you no matter and whatever may happen.

I LOVE YOU MAMA…:-)
