It has really put me teary-eyed the thought of having good signs from Him.. It’s just that all the things that I ask for is given to me in a clear and good manner. I don’t really know how to thank Him, or if my gratefulness is enough to express how I really feel.. But I do believe that God is good and He will never ever give me something I couldn’t handle.. Thank you so much Lord! I love you! Lately, we have been constantly hanging around and having the man of my dreams around is such a wonderful gift. The time I got depressed last week, I decided to end it all and start to let go.. but then, I had the chance to talk with people and to clear me up with the confusion I was feeling deep within me.. then I asked Him for a sign.. a sign that he gladly gave to me.. it was so shocking for a moment to know that God doesn’t want me to let go of someone I consider so special and I thank Him for that!=) *teary-eyed* Yet all of these things doesn’t just end there.. even in my own prayers, He answers my request.. Last January 19, 2007, I went to the prayer room to pray.. a portion of my prayer says: “Lord, kung ok lang cyo na ipaubaya skn c Miguel.. sana sakin nlng xa..” and the most awesome thing happened, as I took one of those papers that had the verses to be read for the day, I got John 14:13 and it said “And whatever you ask in my name, I will do, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son.” It was such a blissful moment!=) it’s as if everything was gearing towards the answers to my questions, my doubts, and my own little issues.. indeed, a wonderful blessing from God and as what my friend Geri has said: “a rare gift from heaven”. Thank you po!!

hmmm.. i was really crazy for laughing out loud when pam, inna and i were at the canteen.. i didn’t notice miguel coming from the malvar gate to our place and i was really laughing out loud! he just smiled as he came and said "grbe, sa malayo pa lang.. bungisngis ka na jan"..

we were "reviewing" the next exam but we kept on chitchatting..

the test came and we answered it for about 20mins.. miguel was the last to finish the test..

we had some peptalk with sr.banico and finally went out to get some snack..

and then.. miguel and i just decided to got to moa and have some joyride.. i didnt know he had a car with him so i was so surprised..

arriving at moa, we looked for the rag that we weren’t able to see at rob last tuesday and had some strolling around the mall.

it was very funny though cause we were always laughing and jumping and going berserk..lolz!!

he dropped me by near our house and then we bid good-bye.. such a lovely afternoon.. indeed, such a nice event to remember and cherish.

first day of midterms today and i never expected these things to happen.. well, miguel and i had lunch together and he went to our house to borrow my book.. uhuh! its so surprising!=) i never thought all of these things would have today.. all unplanned and instant.. but oh well, i guess its just an exchange of what i cried a week ago.. hahah!

and juts a conclusion to make.. i think if you’re gonna let yourself to be sad all throughout your gloomy days, then it will be a gloomy future ahead.. but if you just let go of the hurt feelings then you’ll just see that things will go on its proper place at the proper time. oh sheesh!! i love life!! mmmmmmuah!*

I’ve been laughing out loud minutes before our Philippine history class, and all the things I have reviewed are shrewd off my memory. Sir Banico had given us some minutes to review. Since we were seatmates, it has been a customary practice that whenever Miguel and I talked, we would laugh out with each other and make some “kulitan” and the like. It so happened that sir was observing us and made a comment about it. “Lagi talagang nagkukulitan tong c Swen at Miguel ano?.. ano bang meron?” I was so embarrassed that moment while everybody else were yelling out loud and making “tukso”… “wala lang, napansin ko lang kasi na ang sweet sweet nila twing history class”… still speechless and feeling really nervous Miguel finally said something.. “ano ba kayo sir, wala un…” sir Banico said in reply “wala lang, madalas kasing nagkakatuluyan ung mga tinutukso ko”.. again everybody were laughing and making “tukso. A few moments of silence and Miguel said something.. something that pierced my heart.. “..taken nako ni Lord, sir” Though I was smiling and feeling nervous, deep within me and deep within my soul.. i wanted to cry. It was such an awakening that made me sad after class. I never expected I would hear those words. Not too soon and still so unprepared. It was as if I was cleared off my doubts, my questions, and all the other things that has been bothering me for the past month. On my way home, I tried to stop the tears from falling.. I tried hard.. but when I came to my room.. all alone and dumb folded, tears started to fall.. tears out of sadness and distress.. I was crying so hard because I felt hurt and betrayed. Soon, questions bothered me.. Why did he have to be so sweet? Why this? Why that?? I wished hard that things weren’t that sweet and nice because everything now is clear that he wants to be a priest. He was such a jerk. I was so stupid. But despite all these, I still like the way he is, no questions… no doubts.=c

for the past few days, i have been chatting with aldrin through YM. we have been exchanging the most unpredictable stories of our lives, i have shared with him some secrets as well and i hope he’ll keep it for the rest of his life. lolz!

oh well, enough of the introductions.. the fans club ive been telling the people is about my indonesian neighbors who treats me as if i was a celebrity!! yeah!! its really giving me goosebumps sometimes because its sooo unusual.. but mostly all my emotions are happiness, delight, bliss and PLEASURE!! hahahah!

i must admit that i like the attention im getting you know.

it started during their independence day (tuju belas augustus/17 august) they started out with screaming my name and giving up some cheers.. well, they have done a lot of crazy things and i’ll enumerate some:

• shouting my name up to the limits of their voice
• crossing the street and staying in front of our balcony just to say "hi" or "pagi"(good morning)
• sending notes in small pieces of paper (their english?? needs a bit of improvement but still understandable)
• making some "harana" a la indonesian style
• posting banners inclusive of: "swen we love you"
• fllying kisses
• sending flowers, ice creams and cookies
• visiting our house but unfortunately my grandpa doesn’t let them in.. lolz!
• trying their best to get grandpa’s soft side so that they can visit me..

well, what do you think about these guys huh? as for now, those are the only things i can write.. maybe next time you’ll read about crazier stuff.. but for me, these "stuff" are already the craziest. =D

oh well, they make me smile though. til next blog!!

well, it was an ordinary morning for me and gazing through the balcony i saw my fans.. i was wondering,, why the heck are they early today?

something hit me… i need to eat brerakfast.. yummy yummy breakfast was served in the hotel suite.. and there i was.. suddenly taking a bath and puting dress on for another jelan-jelan… i decided to go to the consulate with my mom. we rode the mikrolet and having my laptop by my side.. i decided to check my accounts..:)

….username… password… enter! 13 new messages. as i scroll down and check the names of the people…

i screamed out of joy!! i was OVERLY ENTHUSIASTIC with what i saw. it was an email from my superman…. P.G.C. WOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! i was so happy i was trembling and tears of joy in my once gloomy eyes were evident…. i was very happy.

i remember having a small fight with my opah yesterday that made me cry so hard… i thought to myself "crying a lot got paid off already… im soooo happy now and i just wish to be back home again." i want to see HIM, i want to be with my SUPERMAN… ima take care of him when i get back. *blush*

so there,,, it was a very memorable day for me yesterday because i learned how to play the drums. FINALLY! well, im not that professional yet but im learning it step by step and its HARD. i thought it was all banging and beating around but it wasnt.

well, enough of the drums. it was like 930am when we left our home sweetie home and took PAAL 2 as our first mikrolet to go to banjer.. then we went down to the WALIKOTA where the Tikala<|MAYOR’S OFFICE> was. TJ<17> our friend was makin a deal with the driver to make a "paket" so we wouldnt be going down and riding another mikro… but the driver didnt agree and so we needed to go down and ride another mikrolet. in the second mikrolet we rode… it had the BANJER signboard already and i had in mind that ill be sitting in that mikrolet for about an hour because we have been told that TJ’s place was very far. but it was like less than 5 minutes that we were told to go down the mikro again… hahahaha! and i thought: "was it that far?!" duh!! its not! we can like walk from our house…lolz

arriving at TJ’s mansion.. i was stunned. there were 6 or 7 dogs waiting for us in the entrance and i was "WHOOOAAH! i hope i can manage this cute BIGGY dogs!" but we had a great time though… we watched THE GRUDGE which wasnt that "grudgy" at all, we had BREADTALK breads *yum yum* >>thanks again TJ<<, we had the DUYAN GALORE outside their big big garden… lolo watered the plants and had some bonding with the biggy dogs… he also talked with TJ’s mom, tita Winnie… picture taking was not forgotten… we had a BIG LUNCH of like 5 dishes!!!! i was so very happy.. with smiles and laughs.. and of course we had some MAGIC SING moments too!!=)

all in all: A BLISSFUL fieldtrip. **tata!!**

hi! to whoever is reading this blog post that i made.. so there.. well, this is a sad but true story about a girl who one day met a guy she thought of keeping for the rest of her life….

when they started to know each other, she said to herself "oh gosh, i want him to be my boyfriend, i think he’s a good guy" and so days and months passed and what she wanted was done. they became sweet lovers.

one day while checking out her messages, she saw a message from GUY#2. he was from CPAS<a social group where the girl and guy#2 met each other> it was a friendly message that started a conversation between the two.. replys were endless and from there started a different feeling. the girl started to like the other guy…

she was all guilty and started to tell herself "no,, stop it.. you must not like the other guy.. your boyfriend is such a jackpot and its very very rare to find loyal guys nowadays so give ur bf the same loyalty and love he deserves." so she fesses up to his bf admitting her feelings to guy#2, they settled it up and everything went on clear.. she started her loyalty days.

and christmas came.. such a beautiful season. a time where love abounds the most.. and YEAH,, it was impossible for guy#2 and the girl not to be communicating these days because they were friends and it was christmas time… during one of there conversations, guy#2 had touched her heart.. he said how sad he was because he couldnt greet her  a ‘merry christmas’ personally. she admitted how she missed these conversations and they guy as well agreed. everything went overly sweet and the emotions of the girl for the guy came back but more intensified than ever.. you can say the feeling was mutual or maybe the girl was wishing it was an MU thingy.

but then it hit her, "i have to love and be loyal to my bf" and so sweetened days are over. everything she had for guy#2 was left in the dark,, it was finished.

a month passed and came valentines day. guy#2 texted her but no reply came. she totally ignored all kinds of temptations… even replying texts about the simplest matter.

another set of months came and everything was forgotten. she grew and learned to become cold to the other guy thinking it was the best thing to do.

a day came when she realized she didnt love his partner anymore and so the splitting up came and was done. it was a hard time. ending it became a sad event for both of them.. but it had more impact to the loyal bf. after 9mos of being attached to someone, she was now finally free. recovering from the split up.. she started to feel well and went on with her life ON HER OWN.

the other guy was there.. and she was constantly reminded of the things that made her kiligz.. the time when he fixed her hair, the time when he emailed her before defending their thesis, those petty quarrels they had, the "compliment" he said that made her mad because it dealt with her breasts, and all those times they had spent together in CPAS. but when she came back and became friendly to the other guy… everything was different. there were times he would not reply to anything, there were the presence of excuses and all became a colder relationship… it wasnt like before.

she was wondering, "what happened?" did i do something that made him act that way?"…. well duh?? YES you did something.. after ignoring him for almost half a year, do you expect someone to be that same person again? time changes things and i bet time made him think a lot. maybe it includes a change in the way he treats you.

poor girl. she became really sad about the situation because the other guy is starting to touch her heart again and now the condition of their friendship is different. it made her feel cheerless.. gloomy days were part of her weekends. everytime she saw the guy she falls hard and becomes nostalgic about the olden days.

she decides not to attend CPAS.. and from there recover from a broken heart..

perhaps fate had some lesson to put on the girl,, to make her realize that love is not a game.. its not a playful thing to fall in love, its like fire and sometimes its not a safe place to be.

but for now, she letting it all out. sitting and typing her story in a blog and maybe after this, she will feel a lil better…. yeah, how i wish. =(

Only one of the Seven Wonders of the World still survives

The Great Pyramid of Giza is the only one of the Seven Wonders of the World that still survives. Can you name the other six?

They are:

1) The Hanging Gardens of Babylon, which were built on the banks of the Euphrates river by King Nebuchadnezzar II.

2) The gigantic gold statue of Zeus was built by the sculptor Pheidias at Olympia.

3) The temple of Artemis was erected in the Asia Minor city of Ephesus in honour of the Greek goddess of hunting and wild nature.

4) The Mausoleum at Halicarnassus was a huge tomb constructed for King Maussollos, Persian satrap of Caria.

5) The Colossus of Rhodes was a massive statue erected by the Greeks in honour of Helios the sun-god.

6) The Lighthouse of Alexandria was built by the Ptolemies on the island of Pharos.

The Great Pyramid of Giza was built near the ancient city of Memphis for Pharaoh Khufu.

Modern Wonders
A list of the seven wonders of the modern world was compiled after World War One (after 1918). The motorcar was omitted from the list, instead naming: (1) the radio; (2) the telephone; (3) the aeroplane; (4) radium; (5) anaesthetics and antitoxins; (6) spectrum analysis; and (7) X rays. An updated list undoubtedly will include the car, television, computer, nuclear energy and nanotechnology.
