Last days of year 2012!

Oh, Hello December! I didn't even notice that we have come to the last month of 2012. Maybe that explains how much I really did enjoy the rest of the year, for I have accomplished a lot of things in my bucket list. And so now, instead of receiving more, I’ll savor the remaining days of year 2012 by thanking GOD for a splendid year that he has given me and my family. And hope you'll do the same! May we all enjoy the last days of 2012! :D

Productive Life!

I always wanted to live my life to the fullest.

The reason why I make sure to pursue my dreams as soon as I can.

This year 2012, at the age of 22 years old, I told myself to make this age a starting point for a healthy living.

I started by enrolling in Scuba Diving lessons last September 2012 and on October of 2012, eagerly waking up early in the morning to practice Lawn Tennis up to date.

Scuba Diving and Lawn Tennis are good sports for me to indulge myself into a productive younger years of my life.

I am making sure to experience these kind activities, so in the future I won't regret anything as great as this, which not all people has the opportunity to practice these. =)

True Halloween experience:

At home in Ilo-Ilo city, lights are all off. 

Silence covered the entire house. 

I went out of the room to go to the bathroom when I felt someone's sitting in the sala looking at me, 

when my eyes adjust to the darkness, that's when I realized it was in a camouflage, in a complete Marine uniform. 

I didn't move because I was frightened, 

I dunno who it was and why is it in the house alone sitting in the sofa silently, the face of the human is still unclear. . . When suddenly it says 'pssssst! Ga ano ka dah???' ha!! I breathed heavily, si mamu (my auntie) lang gali!! She was having her dress rehearsal for our halloween party! She was struggling to fit the size 12 boots of Tito Mars (my Uncle) into her lady feet! Haha! 

I thought, true ghost na!!!!

And that is my Mamu, our ever supportive Auntie with her complete Marine Uniform. haha!
