The explorer is back!

It was ages ago since I posted one. What happened to me? 

To summarized it all, I am happy to share, that I am done with my Practicum/Internship Training at Acacia Hotel Manila. I was assigned in Sales and Marketing Department particularly in Events. I was also part of the F&B Department, in Banquets Department. Kudos to all my bosses! They were all good to me. I soooo missed them already. *Clingy intern here* 

And so far, I thank God for really helping me to overcome the last hurdles of this semester. And here I am, a degree holder of Bachelor of Science in Hotel and Restauran Management. Woooo! That's why I was so busy for the second semester of the school year. 


Are you ready for my upcoming posts? Stay tuned! :)

A dream like this...

I saw this on tumblr/pinterest way back. It was like ages ago. Hence, I can't even remember where I saw this. 

It became one of my favorite compilations of pictures around the web. Photographer's girlfriend showing him the world. Isn't it romantic? 

Years ago, I promised one person that we will travel the world. Me and Him and against the world. It seems so perfect. The dream was so perfect. 

Right now, that special someone was gone. The dream was nothing but a mere trash of yesterday. It hurts of course. It's painful. It demands to be felt.

But the Lord says, He will give me the best special someone. And I will wait for that right time. Where we can dream together, one more time. A dream like this. :')

Pagsuko - Jireh Lim

I was crying after dinner tonight. I felt pathetic. I cannot think well. I felt like no one was willing to give ample time to listen. Then, all of a sudden, someone offered to call me via mobile phone. 

We had a chat about something that I was overthinking for the past few weeks. Finally, I had the chance to open up without holding back. It was like someone put a dagger behind my back and that person retrieved that dagger. It was a "whew!" That person may not be able to give me much advice for the situation, but he is truly a blessing for me! Knowing that he's willing to share my pain, to listen to my dramatic story, still, with a bigger heart and the willingness to serve others, he nailed it!

After the phone call was finished. Another friend appeared thru Facebook all of a sudden. We had a small chat. I started to ask questions about something we both knew. After that, I did already the first move. I told that person about a secret that was so fragile. Though I won't tell you that secret. :P

I thought that my friend will go ballistic and mad! But, that didn't happen! In the end, we ended up agreeing with one another, saying that my friend understands me most. And so on and forth. 

Why am I telling you this story?

For the past few weeks, my relationship with a person that was so special to me back then came back after work. We met again. I realized that I still like him. I think I do love his company. I do love him. (OMG. I'm just 19 and I know you'll hate me about that! HAHAHA!) 

So, I am trying my luck and my best to win him back. Even though it was my fault why he isn't mine anymore. That's why, I am trying my best to make it up for him. But he was so unsure. 

Our relationship together was like a wind. It was so sudden. Yet, we both know, that the sudden rush of breeze and warmth of our relationship will last in our memories.

Right now, I am waiting what will happen next. I am just letting God work on His floor plan. He knows best. 

I am dedicating this song to our relationship. How I wish that one day, he will realized, that we are made for each other, and that no one must interefere in our relationship except the Lord God. :')

Pagsuko - Jireh Lim

Maari ba muna natin tong pagusapan
Sa dami-rami na ng ating pinag daanan
Ngayon mo pa ba maiisipang isuko 
Ang lahat ng ating pinag samahan 

Masikip sa damdamin hinigop ng hangin
Ang lakas, pinag hihinaan ng wagas
Pwede bang pag isipan wag ka munang lumiban
Baka sakali na ito ay masalba pa

Refrain:
Lumalamig ang gabi
Hindi na tulad ng dati

Chorus:
May pagasa pa ba kung susuko ka na
Larawan mo ba ay lulukutin ko na
Sa hirap at ginhawa tayo ay nagsama
Damdamin mo tila ay napagod na
Ikaw at ako ay alaala na lang
Kung susuko ka na

Bawat pangarap na ating pinagusapan
Pupunta na lang ba ito sa wala
Hayaan mong ituwid ang pagkakamali
Sa mga oras na to alam kong ika'y lito

Refrain:
Lumalamig ang gabi
Hindi na tilad ng dati

Chorus:
May pagasa pa ba kung susuko ka na
Larawan mo ba ay lulukutin ko na
Sa hirap at ginhawa tayo ay nagsama
Damdamin mo tila ay napagod na
Ikaw at ako ay alaala na lang
Kung susuko ka na 

Eid al-Fitr

As-salamu alaykum to all the Muslims who keeps viewing my blog! 

Although I am not a Muslim, but I have Muslim friends. And I wanted you to know that I admire and respect your faith and practices. :)

Today marks the end of Ramadan of Muslims, and because Philippines respect the Muslims/Islamic community, President Benigno Aquino III, P-Noy, proclaimed that today is a regular holiday!

Who Am I?

Tonight, I was about to make a report for our Rooms Division Subject tomorrow. My report was all about "Lean Season Promotion". I cannot focus and control myself to concentrate on that project. Why? The TV was on, the show was about Basketball (Philippines VS Japan = FIBA ASIA 2013), and the FB and Twitter was alluring me to surf. In short, I am srewing things up. 

The thing was, my bestfriend texted me, he was so pitiful. His relationship with his girlfriend was failing. I want him to wake up from that curse-filled relationship. But I don't know how. So he asked me if he can stay here in our home. He promised me that he will never bother or disturb me. He said he just wanted to have someone who can listen to him. But I said NO. 

He said, "I'm on my way". 

That moment, I panicked. I don't know what to do. First, I really wanted to finish that damn report. And second, uh. I don't know the second one. All I know was that, he mustn't come. He'll be okay if he did just stay in his home. 

He came. I was devastated. I don't know what to do. I don't know what was happening to me. I felt that, I was at my worse state of being me. 

What happened? I didn't entertain him. I stood him up outside. I just texted him to go home or find another place. I did push him away without even facing him. 

Deep inside, it was like, I send a soul away. A soul needing a listener. Just even a listener. The fact that I am his bestfriend, it was so painful for both of us. I felt that his heart broke tonight, TWICE. 

To my bestfriend "Mac", if you are reading this right now, I am really sorry. I was so selfish. My attitude towards you was definitely rubbish. You may not know what am I feeling right now, but I know how do you feel right now. Please forgive me. Give me another chance to love you once more, unconditionally. :'(

I do really regret that this night came and I have to be that hard on him.

From what had happened tonight, I learned a very important lesson. We must not be selfish especially when helping others. We may have our own definition of helping others, but we must always remember that, theirs are different. And sometimes, they just need an ear to hear them out. 

Davika Hoorne

I saw her in Pee Mak Phra Khanong, and I just want to share, that I was stunned by her beauty.

Can you imagine a pretty ghost?

At first of course I cannot imagine liking her, I thought she was just a normal courageous actress who's willing to act a ghost. But hell no! After the movie, I looked for her pictures, and it blew me away! She's too pretty for being just a ghost! I am really looking forward to see her more often in films.

Davika Hoorne, if you're reading this blog from out of any reason (and I will be honored if that time comes), please visit Philippines! And if ever the time comes that I am already a Film Maker/Director/Producer, can you work with me? It will be a pleasure to me and to my nation! I would love to work with you!

These are her pictures from Google. *Credits to owners

BONUS:

She's a beauty. Right? :)

The Explorer is Back!

Did you missed me? Don't worry! I'm fine, and I'll be able to feed new posts again! Yehey!

I am now in my 4th year in College, taking Bachelor of Science in Hotel & Restaurant Management in South Mansfield College in Muntinlupa City. 4th year sounds great isn't it? But the requirements, activities and grades really sounds difficult. Hehehe. That's why, I am slightly busy with school stuffs. Please forgive me. :)

I am also concentrating with my spiritual growth nowadays. I am devoting my days focusing with Jesus at the throne of my life. In relation to that, I signed up for a new batch of CG (Connect Group). Connect Group is a program (I think I will consider this term) of The Feast Alabang Community/Family that shares and multiply the joy, peace and blessings with one another, and to divide the pain and suffering of each member's difficulty.

We are 4 in a group, but we are so happy and blessed with each other. The relationship and bond grows deeply among the 4 of us. And I believe and hope that, we'll be able to last some long time.

Moreover, I felt sad because somehow, I am a failure when it comes to my lower CG. CG inside the campus must be organized by the one and only ME. It's just, personal issues contradicts against the mission right now. But I know, one day, I will deliver the mission that is entrusted to me. And that is, to take care of God's shepherd in our campus. The best has yet to come! God Bless!
