According to all the documents I have, it's my birthday tomorrow! And yes, indeed, it's my birthday tomorrow. A year older, a year wiser and a year of new things. I'm so excited to indulge. I have given up every childish things in me especially those that don't help at all and tend to hurt my own self, people around me and of course, people/someone who are/is important to me and play a great role in my life. I have come to the realize that I'm not getting younger and moving to the next chapter is a must and the best way to do. I'm so blessed that there are people who, through these years, keep it all up and remain my good friends and showed and still showing their love and concern for me, and by that, I'm really thankful. I'm so blessed to have a not so perfect but awesome family, that every time I need them, even if I don't say anything, they're just there and willing to give all of them just to make me happy, just to make me feel comfortable ...

April! It's a busy busy month! My birthday is fast approaching and I'm kinda excited to celebrate it on a different note. We're part of the workforce now and we all can see how we've lost our humor. Hahaha! 'Cause of too much work involving. Anyway, still the same circle that allows you to think jokes deeply to overrule a joke from someone. It still the same and I must say, it's awesome. A lot of things coming, a lot of things going and a lot of waiting involved. There are things you want to do, you need to do, you're wishing you can do, you're wishing could come after, blah blah blah, but one thing you will surely learn is the balance to keep everything in good faith.  Hmmm. I'm thinking, maybe I should blog about my gelato experience and the best fries I've tasted for the past week! Nyehehe! 

It's the last day of March and I finally got the chance to sit down, feel the breeze, and explore the beautiful world out there. Yes, it's summer time! I was speechless all the while, thought I won't be able to recuperate but I was wrong. It's a beautiful world and all we need is to be taken over by it, go with its flow and be thankful for the moments we feel so alive. There are times in our lives we would feel like we're dying and we can't breathe but what's wonderful is that we can realize a lot of stuff along the way. The time wasted, how to keep going and how to find the true purpose and meaning of our stay. As per my alter ego, I don't have anything to worry about by cause of I didn't hurt anybody and truly, there's nothing I could be guilty for. Holy week isn't just about vacations and having fun, we must reflect and thank the Lord above for giving us a savior who defend us throughout. I couldn't explain how happy I am. I could...

Finally got the chance to sit down and write again. Weeks went well, though kinda busy but I think it's good. There are just so many blessings to be thankful about and I must say that I'm really blessed. New awesome work, new good people around me, new everything and I feel so happy about that. *Insert astig song here* Yeaaah! Happy weekend, weekenderz! :)

Yesterday marked my last day in the Advertising company that embraced me for almost a year. Though I didn't get the chance to spend much time with everyone on my last day, I had a special moment to thank them for everything they've done. There will still be next time for all of us, guys! I can't wait to tell you new stories. New things ahead of me with a new company, and I'm excited to start walking to the new path of my career.  It could help me be successful and achieve all the things I want to accomplish. I'm looking forward for the new things about work and life itself. I love how maturity clings to me right now.  My plans about putting things in order, to enjoy my work/job, save money to put up a business and for my future husband, kids and all. I'm so excited to have those things in hand and I know that it could be achieved if I work hard for it. Others will think I'm too young for this kind of thinking, but for me, I think I'm not. Age is ...

Here, I got the chance to talk about leadership. Being a student leader way back in college, I have given the opportunity to impart my experiences and opinions about leadership. I hope, in a way, I could inspire students/people to take on the lead, do good and motivate others. So, here's to the awesomeness! ( Naks !) 1. How do you define leadership? A lot of people stereotyped leadership as something authoritative, something your subordinates must obey and be intimidated about. The real deal, it's not something you impose to anyone. It's something that comes out as it is and it's not something you boast about. Leadership is the process/way of influencing everyone - by giving them support and taking charge, by you, motivating people and freely encourage them. You inspire them as they inspire you, too. 2. You were a student leader way back in college, how did it start and what happened throughout of your term/s?  Wow! It's a long story to tell. Ok, let me star...

2013 is the year of (extra) maturity for me, which means, I'm not the same kid anymore who sits on the school bench and wonder about life, because right now: 1) I'm not a kid anymore, 2) I'm living the life already and 3) every breath I take, I take it as a mature one (Thank you for the applause!) After days of contemplation, it finally came to me what my grandparents and parents were actually saying.. that... "You go ahead, do your own thing, get married, make a family and have a wonderful life blah blah blah blah." And to tell you honestly, it never did sink in to me before because for some reason the universe won't let me take it... but now it feels okay, it feels GREAT already. I'm not that old, though; quite young for others, very young for a few, too old for toddlers' stuff toys but just enough to *mature stuff*, but hey, I'm an adult and matured. My way of thinking is kind of cool (Sige na please, I'm claiming, others said I'm fre...
