HAPPY 27TH!:-) - my inspirations

OH my GEEE!!! I AM 27?????

Time does fly so fast! It seems like 2012 was only yesterday, 2013 hasn’t really sunk into my system and there it is my special day has come! And I am getting real old now…well, not really that old but I wish I could say I’ve becoming a “mature adult” (heheheheh!). I kind a find it hard accept it to myself that I really am 27 years old now, however I am very much grateful to my dear God for giving me this blessing, the memory is still so vivid in my head, at one time I really thought that was the end of me, I was very sickly that time, I was a regular “emergency room client”. But in God’s grace I surpassed it all and I am a lot stronger now both emotionally & physically, thus, I can bravely say: Happy 27^th!!!!

At 27,  life isn't a bed of roses,I guess I am in a state where I don't know what exactly I wanted to do with my life, where will I go next or should I just stay to where I am right now, but ,  I am happy to have known these people who somehow, make this difficult moment a little bit lighter.

@ 27: People I looked up to

1. Malala Yousafzai

I admire her so much for her courage! At a very young age she fights for the women's right to have education in her homeland despite the danger behind it. I was teary-eyed when I read that article when their school bus was ambush by Talibans. Talibans asked who was Malala among the kids and she bravely admit that it was her. Imagined how unselfish she is? This little kid  has made realize how blessed I am to acquire my education  without any risk, and how blessed I am to be a Filipino. Just can't imagined myself in her shoes.

2. Rubina Ali

Rubina played the child version of Latika in the movie Slumdog Millionaire

I just read her story a couple of days ago. This little girl reminds that no matter where you are and how down today, there is always hope! and that dreams do come true! And my sister Elsa, who by the way don't love reading english novels, for the first time took an effort to read her story and fall in love with it!.

3.Bianca Gonzales

I've watched her since her "Y Speak" days w/ Ryan Agoncillo.I guess I love that show mainly because one of the host was my crush that time and both of them speaks english very well! ( I guess I love Ms Bianca because of her being englisera...hehehe,  at home I usually mimic how she speaks ). Now, I admire because of her advocates and for being a role model of the youth. She inspired me to share my blessings in my own little way.And I wish in time I do, can share more blessings to others and somehow be an inspiration also! (dreaming....)

I am also an avid follower of her facebook, twitter and of course her blogsite which also inspires me to make my own blog! ( though I know, I do not write well ^_^ )

4. Kris Aquino

I had read it in a certain article : Kris Aquino : Either you love her or you hate her.
Me: I love her, of course her wittyness struck that much.....her being prangka, most of all I love her being a mom to her kids. I salute her for finding time to spend quality moments w/ her 2 sons despite her busy schedule.If I'm gonna be mom soon, I guess Ms Kris will always be a reminder to me that being busy is not an excuse to have quality time with our family.

5. Jessica Balote

Jessica Balote - ballerina in red ( now known ballerina from the slum of Metro Manila

Another epitome of hope and dreams. Dreams come true to those who believe and strive hard.

At this point in time, these ladies have touch my heart & my life in one way or another. They will be forever part of my reminders in life, that no matter where & who you are in the society you are in, God has bestowed you the power to be inspiration to others.


P.S I don't own the photos posted here just copied it from google :-)

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY T.S!

"Side by side or miles apart TRIBU SUBAKANON will forever be close to my heart!"

We may not be the same as the way we were yesterday, still deep in my heart we will always be that joyful , fun loving fb group,who defies distance! We we may not be as often get in touch as we were, however, for me it doesn't mean that we no longer care for each other, instead I it is a great sign that we have move forward with our lives, coz in my case years before, I imprisoned myself in my so - called "online world" to hide myself from things that I should face.Now I am living in both of my worlds ---- my online & my real world!
HAPPY 2ND ANNIVERSARY TRIBU  SUBAKANON!

NB: Pardon me tribuletz for my editing powers, and if you haven't seen your pic over the image above, don't it is save here in my heart!<3<3<3

MOKZ LEARNS TO COOK SERIES

When I am not in my pleasant mood I usually indulge in good food, whether eating out at my favorite fast food chain even if it is way beyond my budget or cooking some delicious for myself.Since it seems to me that eating has been my hobby, why not learn to cook? And this give birth to my : "MOKZ LEARNS TO COOK SERIES".
And for the first recipe I've tried, "CHICKEN AFRITADA w/ a TWIST ala MOKZ". I found this recipe @ Jun-Blog /jun@junbelen.com however instead of using potatoes I used gabi (unfortunately I don't know the english translation of GABI). I also add meatballs ,strings beans & eggplant..hehehe! And instead of putting the chicken at the pre heated oven, I stir fried it in the pan, till it became a little bit golden brown.




Here's the outcome:

It taste good but I think I still have to make it a little better. Til next cooking adventure! :-):D

We learned our lesson the hard way!

I went home a lil bit earlier than my usual time yesterday. After some pre sleeping routine, I went upstairs to rest. Few moments later I heard some noise down in our kitchen as if someone's trying to open the door, I thought it was my sister Lyn but then I wonder why she didn't bother to call any of us. Then, I heard that sound again that made me decide to go down and check but found nobody around. Then I saw shadow somewhat like peeping inside in our house -- there! I felt a chill on my spine. I woke up my sis Elsa, told her there's someone suspicious outside. And we both saw the shadow of a man who walks fast through near our dear in the living room. And mind you it was around 2 o clock @ dawn. I haven’t got my much needed sleep because of what happen; it got me nervous along the way.

In the morning, I asked our neighbor if they happen to notice, someone suspicious roaming around in our surroundings that dawn, and one of my neighbor confirmed that she did notice it, she told us that she heard some footsteps around 1 am. They told me that stealing as in some kind of “akyat – bahay “exists these days in our place and warned us that they will usually roam around during Saturdays and Sundays.

Somehow I was thankful it happened, it serves as a wake up call on my part and to my sisters as well, because they have this habit that they usually don’t mind locking our door in the kitchen area. And we learned our lesson the hard way!

RANDOM THOUGHTS

MY FINDS; HOPELESS ROMANTIC THOUGHTS ON THIS WINDY 31^ST OF JULY

I’m halfway through with all my usual evening reports tonight, and all these percents and percentage is eating my patience way out. And as much as I wanna take a nap once again my best friend Insomnia didn’t allow me to sleep this windy mornite, too bad fb page is silent and twitter isn’t working profoundly. Aw! That’s when you spell L- I- F- E.

Thus, to defeat this boredom Mr. Google is of great help. As I was reminiscing days ago, I stumble upon this very nice quote from Nicholas Sparks that reads like this:

“It happens to everyone as they grow up. You find out who you are and what you want, and then you realize that people you’ve known forever don’t see things the way you do. So you keep the wonderful memories, but find yourself moving on.”

There it goes, my hopeless romantic engine is now on w/ two of my usual nightly companion: love songs played from my favorite station plus a cup of chocolate flavored coffee….after skimming and scanning… there you have it! PAK!

"We were given: Two hands to hold. Two legs to walk. Two eyes to see. Two ears to listen. But why only one heart? Because the other was given to someone else for us to find."

"When you loved someone, you put their needs before your own. No matter how inconceivable those needs were; no matter how much it made you feel like you were ripping yourself into pieces."
-Chris Harte, The Pact

"I finally understood what true love meant. . . love meant that you care for another person's happiness more than your own, no matter how painful the choices you face might be."
-John Tyree, Dear John

"Sometimes you have to be apart from people you love, but that doesn't mean you love them any less. Sometimes it makes you love them even more."
-Steve Miller, The Last Song

'The more I know of the world, the more am I convinced that I shall never see a man whom I can really love. I require so much!' - Sense & Sensibility-

These were few of the dozens quotes, I read just tonight, these words somehow at some points has been a definition of my journey.

It’s now barely 4o’clock, my time reads and I should be back with percents and percentage, but before I go, here’s my crazy must have romantic novels to list a few:

1. Sense & Sensibility - by Jane Austen
2. A Walk To Remember - Nicholas Sparks
3. The Time Traveler's Wife - Audrey Withnegger
4. Something About You - Julie J
5.The Notebook - Nicholas Sparks
6. Pride & Prejudice - Jane Austen
7. Austenland - Shannon Hale
8. Emma - Jane Austen
9. Dear JOhn - Nicholas Sparks
10. Gone w/ the Wind - Margaret Mitchell
11. The Last Song - Nicholas Sparks
12. Memoirs of Geisha - Arthur Golden
13. The Wedding - Nicholas Sparks
14. Silas Marner - George Eliot
15. Message in a Bottle - Nicholas Sparks

For sure I’m gonna get all these, it’s only a question of when?

REMINISCING

 Was scanning my FB tonight and found this video again @ Kuya Ricky's page. Can't help but smile watching this video. It brings back all the memories of the early days of Tribu Subakanon, all the kulitan, the riddles and laughters we had shared online.Haaay...how time flies! which make me ask: "Where do we go now Tribu Subakanon?"

 Btw, this video was made possible by Joel Medil a.k.a "Pinoy Ako" - where is he na nga ba? haven't heard this guy anymore. Anyways thanks for this one bro!
