FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART

For the past seven years , I celebrate my birthday in the simplest way. Went to  church to give thanks to HIM for giving me another year and have some dinner outside at any fast food chain I want tby myself since I technically live alone.

This year, though I did not had that “super bongga “celebration, this got to be the most memorable one in my twenty something year. Memorable since, I now have my sisters with me living in one roof-which I treated as a great gift, plus the thought that I am with people who love for who I am.

My deepest gratitude to all my friends who made my birthday extra special, for all the greetings and happy thoughts being sent. Specially to the special someone for letting me feel that I am not just worthy for a second glance but  to be love as well.

"from my Tribu Subakanon Family - credits to indai merly":-)<3

"from someone who's keeping my heart <3<3<3"
God is indeed a great God. And I must say, I am a spoiled brat by our dear Lord, for he gave me all I ask in His own right time.

God will give you not what you want but what you actually need all we need to do is to believe in Him. No prayers will be left unanswered, it may not be in time when we want it to be but one thing is for sure: He will grant your request in his own right time – and that would be when you can appreciate more His loving gift.

MANILA GATEAWAY ( Jan 23-27,2012)

@ Zest Air - jan 23, 3am bound for Manila

As usual we flew to Manila last January 23, for our annual company thanksgiving party and business planning.And I must say, that was the dullest business meeting we ever did.Unfortunately I didn't learn a thing from it.We just went through with all the sales book, review the sales and the percentage, then nothing more.There were lots of issues that indirectly affect our sales performance for the year that were not discussed upon.:( Hopefully, by next year it will be brought up!

However despite, the dullness of our business meeting we still find ways to somehow atleast enjoy our trip. Well, that's the good thing about Pinoy, we still manage to smile in the midst of problems, and that's what we exactly did.

@ SM North Edsa on January 23 - side trip of our outlet roving  w/ Maam Lulu & Jheann of HOS Gensan

bored sa meeting kaya picture2 mode..ahihihi

@ the hotel where we stayed - we are their buena mano customers!Thank you Mr & Mrs Bustamante for the warm welcome @ your hotel. Also to the two ate and kuya who took care of our needs.:-)

taken Liberty hotel's lobby - while waiting for our sundo picture2 mode is on again 




 This year's business planning and thanksgiving is so way behind our what we have and did for the past year, however with a hopeful heart, next year we will our best.Yes, it was boring and dull but still I am thankful, atleast I was able to explore Metro. (kahit SM North Edsa lang haha! - mababaw me is on again!)

supah - ladies bonding (christmas week dec 2011)

*kind a late post - been meaning to write this before, however my time doesn't permit me to*

In every step of our journey, we surely will meet new people and new circle of friends,but it doesn't mean forgetting our childhood friends for these people knew us from roots.As the saying goes:"Make new friends, keep the old, one is silver the other is gold"

Last christmas week of 2011, luckily I was  given the chance to be with two of my childhoods friends and to meet my dearest ate's online.

MY TWENTY ELEVEN – A RECAP

As they would say: “Another year has gone to the history books”! Bye 2011 and welcome 2012!!!!

During my tender years, I can’t easily get over with the negative vibes I had been with; it will always linger on my thoughts day after day, which scared me a lot to venture into something new. Though, until today I must admit the fear is still there but I would say, the length of time has helped me. I was able to somehow manage my fear; it is because my FAITH in HIM is stronger than my fear. Thus, I am now able to look back the past year with a grateful heart!

Here I go, the highlights of my twenty eleven:

JANUARY

Oftentimes in a QUIZ BEE competition during my elementary years this question will surely have a slot: “What is the summer capital of the Philippines?”

Before, I only knew about this place in my geography books, in post cards, and in television shows, until Jan 18, 2011 when I was given the chance to touch down – BAGUIO!-

thanks Baguio I was given a chance to ride a horsey the great...hehehe -)
                                             































Big thanks to our Annual Business Meeting, if not because of it, I might still be wondering  how cold it is Baguio! And KUDOS to our Big Boss for he let us enjoy what this summer capital can offer! Beautiful parks and of course I must not forget their STRAWBERRIES! so happy like a child when I saw them in real.haha!



FEBRUARY

My birthday!!!yahooo! I celebrated my silver anniversary on earth! Though I did not celebrate it with a blast but happy enough for all the gifts I received from God! I wasn’t been rushed to ER again, therefore my stamina is stronger now and was the given the chance to once in a while indulge with some late night out with friends without a second thought!

  •                      the day I turned 25 @ Crown Regency Guadalupe*


APRIL

Hello Summer!!!! One of the most memorable summers I ever had. It is when tribuletz from Tribu Subakanon gather together once again for our first Summer Outing!!!!beach..beach…
sailing around blue ref



MAY

Finally, my dream to acquire tv set come true! ( hmm..i’m so mababaw on this part) after four long years of working I reward myself with a tv set!hehe

SEPTEMBER

And I'm singing into the tune of : All I need is a vacation, vacation .. a break from I forgot who sung this line.!
Credits to our annual vacation leave , I was able to visit place where my umbilical cord is buried!Welcome to our very own mountainous-home of the only Siloy in the whole wide world, the town of ALCOY!


i miss this kind of stuff-had to climb a mountain to fetch water & wash clothes

at our late grandparents place,so grateful to our dear lolo & lola, now we are reaping the fruits of their labor!Kudos to our Lolo Insik & Lola Rosa, big thanks for these coconuts!:-)


my darling sisters at the South Bus Terminal on our to way Alcoy :-)

my dearest cousin Jonnie carrying what we called as :"BUKAG" w/ young coconuts inside!guess our lolo & lola are smiling looking at us during this time.their once playful apos are now all grown ups!how time flies, isn't it!.


the chapel where I used to attend catechizes & flores de mayo back in my gums & lollipop days:-) our daycare classes was also held in this chapel way back long, long time ago.

"TINGGAROL" as we call it -this used to be my companion during study nights back in my elementary days! our electricity at home was cut off when we were there on a vacation, so I was able to be with this night in shining armor again :-)#buhay promdi mode is actually ON!-SARRRRAAAP!

So there it goes, my supah fabulous, grand vacation galore on a September!!! Indeed, there's no place like home!

NOVEMBER

This is when we moved to a new boarding house with all of my sisters. Thanks to our very dear landlady, I and my sisters are now in one roof.

It is also in this month when these TS beauties visit my new boarding house.My first ever visitor! Ms TS 2011!!



DECEMBER

My super favorite month! Blessings are left and right on this month. Aside from the bonuses, more than anything else is the immaterial things I received. Praise to God! It is also the time when we were complete as a family celebrating Christmas, well less my mother since she already has her own family now. 



Dec. 23, 2011 – It is TRIBU SUBAKANON 2nd CHRISTMAS GALA NIGHT! Also the day I met my ATE ANNE!:-)

moment w/ cuz & ate anne @ mai's place


tribuletz with mader A & Junakis @ TS 2nd Gala Night
 Yet my TWENTY ELEVEN isn't that rewarding in terms of career, I am still very grateful for in other aspects of my journey I can proudly say I am so blessed!So, as I turned to another page of my journey, it is a good way to start anew recounting all the blessings received. Thank you God for giving me all this wonderful gifts!

Goodbye TWENTY - ELEVEN and wish me Good luck for the next page of the journey!
:D :D <3<3<3 :-)!

TRIBU SUBAKANON AND ITS EVENTFUL ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION - October 28, 2011

Who would have thought we could go this far - keeping the friendship behind distance, differences in beliefs and outlook in life?

And after all those pressures that we’ve been through, it is with great pride to celebrate our First Year Anniversary as Tribuletz in our very own TRIBU SUBAKANON WORLD.

As the celebration went on,  marks its first year of sharing smiles, laughter, sorrows, joys, anything and everything under the sun; a series of contests were performed via online … here it goes;


GAME 1: a game sponsored by our very dear Ms. Em Tulang from the land of Elephants-THAILAND!
dai Em for game 1:
” unsa para nimo ang atong grupo “Tribu Subakanon”. (What does Tribu Subakanon group stands for you?)"
*there were at least five entries for the said competition and it was “Mr. Agapito Uraca or simply our “Kuya Ags” who emerged the winner with his definition that goes:
“para nako ang tribu subakanon usa ka grupo sa social network nga diin magka ila ila ang mga nag kalain laing personalidad nga pilipino nga naa sa lain laing nasod.og diin sila maka abi abi og maka share sa ilang mga gebati og makaila og laing mga higala aron lang mawala ang kamingaw.”-KUYA AGS
(“for me, Tribu Subakanon is a group in social network where Filipinos with different personalities wherever they may be around the globe gathered in one place to meet new friends and get-to-know each other, share feelings and emotions so to ease lonesomeness or homesickness”)  
GAME 2:” Definition of each letter in the word “TRIBU SUBAKANON” sponsored from the LAND DOWN UNDER – MS. JANE JANICE RALEIGH
Ms. Jane Janice Raliegh w/ her cute baby Jas:
Out of eleven entries submitted, it was this simple yet a definition that speaks it all by Ms. Gia Marie J. that bowed down our heads:

T – Tribe of
R – Realism and
I – Idealism in
B – Building
U – Union of friendship

S – Symbol of
U – Unity
B – Beauty
A – Acquaintanceship
K – Kindness

GAME 3: “SLOGAN MAKING CONTEST FOR TRIBU SUBAKANON”
Still sponsored by Ms. Janice Jane Raliegh (or simply our “Metring J” inside the tribe), won by Mr. Joseph Torres and eventually became TS motto.

“Tribu Subakanon – 
One Tribe. Different People. 
Different belief. One Goal. 
“We Are One" 

GAME 4: MISSION – VISION OF TRIBU SUBAKANON – a contest that signifies us as a tribe and could lead us ahead in this journey so called life …. still sponsored by our dear “Metring J.”
Mission –

To implement the good ethics in life to become a better individual through the ideals of respect, love, compassion and humility so as to promote peace and unity.

Vision -

By its prospect, Tribu Subakanon will be a group of innovative individual unified with great aspiration and united with one Faith, one God Almighty.

And for the finale of our month long anniversary celebration here comes our first ever – THE SEARCH FOR MR. & MS. TS 2011.

TRIBU SUBAKANON – A YEAR AFTER

As mentioned in my previous blog, Tribu Subakanon was founded last October 28, 2010, time does fly unnoticed, and I am very proud to say that we are now celebrating our FIRST YEAR ANNIVERSARY!  Congratulations to each and every tribuletz (as we call ourselves) and good luck for the years beyond! But wait, how is Tribu Subakanon a year after?

Tribu Subakanon world is still very much the same; its inhabitants still meet online, sharing joy and laughers and useful or educational information as well. Though some of its original tribuletz choose to be outside tribu’s arms, the friendship that binds us is still very much intact and getting stronger as we get to know each other well.


                                       *some of the unforgettable tribuletz moments*

For a year we’ve been together for all those special days that we can join hand in hand to celebrate the moment. And it was Christmas that was the most unforgettable to me so far. What made it memorable? It was simply the first time when we seemed to be under the spell—the friendship which unites us, come together, and share that precious moment. Such works of a genuine friendship!

After a year of sharing genuine online friendship as a tribe, we now have a more concrete definition of what Tribu Subakanon stands for, it’s meaning in our own individual lives, and the essence of this tribe in the online community.

Thus we now define Tribu Subakanon as:

T – Tribe of
R – Realism and
I – Idealism in
B – Building
U – Union of friendship

S – Symbol of
U – Unity
B – Beauty
A – Acquaintanceship
K – Kindness
A – Acceptance
N – Nobleness
O – Openness that
N – Never ends …

….with a Mission that states:
“To implement the good ethics in life to become a better individual through the ideals of respect, love, compassion and humility so as to promote peace and unity.”

…and vision that says:

“By its prospect, Tribu Subakanon will be a group of innovative individual unified with great aspiration and united with one Faith, one God Almighty.”

Once again happy birthday Tribu Subakanon! And happy 1st anniversary tribuletz! Kudos everyone! I am very much proud to be a part of this online group who now live by it’s motto:

“
Tribu Subakanon – 
One Tribe. Different People. 
Different belief. One Goal.
We Are One"
