Collective June Lunch Dates

First of all, these was all before Ramadhan. 
I know this! This was when Amina and I bought our school supplies and Fhar came with us just to eat with us. And probably help us buy what we need which was very sweet. Oh anyway, we are the Riyadh Girls. We were together back when we were still in Riyadh. I miss Riyadh though, I really do hope I could come back there very soon. We ordered lunch which was chicken fillet with rice, french fries, sundae, and of course coke float. I was so freakin' full!
Don't judge me, but this was actually my second time to eat pizza here in the Philippines. We just don't trust pizzas here because for sure pork will be included in their pizza or maybe some of the ingredients. But I did eat one before for the first time which was from Greenwich and I didn't like it much maybe because I don't really trust it. So why did you eat it, Fads? It was given by a friend and I don't wanna insult her because she really bought it just for me and told me it was beef and I did make sure that it was beef, and it was really beef. But I hope there wasn't pork ingredient in there. And the sure halal pizza, is from Al Ta'am. Thank you for existing though! This was cheesy pizza and chicken spicy pizza. And they were magnifico!
I don't quitely remember this but I know I was with mother during this time. Oh wait, yes, we ate in KFC after we bought cabinets for the house. I was really hungry because I did much at Budget Wise, roaming around that big whole store. Thanks Mama! You never fail to eat in town, every freaking time. That's why I'm already fat like a hippopotamus. Hahaha! But anyway, this was Texas Barbecue, and KFCPhilippines did it right, it was so freakin' delicious. And this is my go to meal every time I eat there.
We ordered snacks in Jollibee because we don't trust the actual meal there. This was after we went for grocery with Fhar, Kah Nadz, and Peepot at Yubenco. I have to be honest, their fries isn't that good as McDonald's. But I did like their sundae, it was so creamy and easy to eat and wasn't too sweet.

Back To School Summary of 2015 (First Semester)

First of all.. YES I'M OFFICIALLY A SOPHOMORE COLLEGE STUDENT! I just couldn't believe that my freshman year is already gone like a snap. Oh time do flies so fast. I am so excited to learn more now in my second year of college. Although well, of course, there would be time that I just don't want to go to school. Basically because of laziness and whatever students' cliché complains towards school that I'm tired of. But in all honesty, I am so excited what would this school year bring me. Aren't you? 

I was so anxious when I was already going to school for my first day of classes, I thought I was going to faint but I didn't coz I'm too strong to faint out of nowhere. Yes that's true, I really am so anxious that I'm having second thoughts on whether I'll just stay home or go there and conquer whatever chaos might happen. I went to my first class which was in the 6th floor, don't ask if it was tiring, coz it was (is, will be, because unfortunately all of my classes are in 6th floor). I went in the room, and saw my friends (that I am always with); Lea, Mersalyn, Merkhan and Jane. Fred wasn't there anymore and it made me sad because a member of our group has gone to Ozamiz City to proceed his course, but bless him wherever he is. It was a fun day although it was kind of annoying that other profs weren't attending the class but instead of thinking negative, we chose to consider their situation and appreciate the moment of no profs.. for like about 4 days or the whole week(?). I actually had normal classes where in as usual, profs sharing their background story and us giving index cards with our names on it (it's for recitation and checking of attendance). And the regular class will start next week, because this week was just all about introduction and adjustments. 

But anyway, another thing I want to discuss is, I feel so overwhelmed and excited seeing freshmen students taking tour of the campus and asking higher levels about stuff that they're not familiar with like the location of a specific room. I feel so happy that I already am included to that "higher level", like omg, I just can't even. Freshmen are so cute and innocents although they really aren't that innocent, but cute innocent, y'know what I mean? No? It's okay. Yes? That's good.

May this semester be a surviving one. And bless us all in whatever we want to do for the sake of education and brighter future for all of us. Haha I sound like reading a pledge. But anyway that's what's on my mind so therefore I write it down. 

Stay motivated everyone. Don't forget to pray because prayers go up and blessings come down. With patience and hard work, we can achieve our goals.

Our Parents are Blessings

"Our parents are blessings, don't delay showing them love. 
We don't know how long we have this blessing for."
-Dr. Bilal Philips

Recently I've been so positive since I went to Davao, and I spent a wonderful time with Mama and Papa. I realized that they have been giving me so much love unconditionally. I admit, I used to not bother about these kind of stuff, firstly because I'm not a showy person and I avoid drama. But this isn't actually drama, this is pure love that I will forever be grateful with. I am way too far from becoming a good daughter. I disappointed them SEVERAL times, besides I've made a huge mistake that I will never forget but never regret, basically because I've learned from it and it made me realized that as much as I messed up, it is as much as they stood by me, forgave me, and made me thankful because it happened. Without that experience, I won't be the person I am now, a person who think positive even though life is a mess. 

It's sometimes sad that I've realized their unconditional love and sacrifices when I'm already 16 years old, it should be earlier. But God has reasons, at least though I've already realized and understood every thing, Thank God. As long as I live in this world, I will continue to serve them and show them love the best I could. It's my turn to give them love they deserve and be a good daughter, a better daughter. Their smile in the photo above won't fade because of me. I'll make you proud, Mama and Papa.

Please whoever is reading this, and you still have parents. Please do show them love, they may be annoying and push you to your limits. Trust me, as it might sound cliché, it's what's best for you. They want what's best for you because they love you. Yes, our generation is different from theirs, but the thing is they still know what's best for us. No matter how far our gaps compare to them, they have been on this journey as well, and they do understand. Although sometimes we're a bit of annoyed because they keep on comparing their generation to us, but I have realize that it's right. Our generation is a complete messed up craps, and their generation was much better. It's good to look back at their generation because honestly they've got better journey of childhood and adulthood. They just want us to be a better version of ourselves, avoiding the ugly things our generation has and looking at the brighter things. We will not be a better person in our generation if we let our generation or society eat us. We can be better as long as our parents are beside us, to guide us. No one can tear us down as long as we believe that no matter what happen, our parents know the best for us.

I am just so thankful that I have my parents beside me, although Papa works abroad, I still believe that no matter what, we still remain in one piece. No words can actually explain my feelings right now. Satisfaction, contentment, happiness, practicality, and feeling blessed every single second of every day. I just feel so blessed that hate doesn't come my way anymore. I know there will always be bad times, but the most important thing is my parents or my family is here beside me. That's the most precious gift God could give me, and I'm eternally grateful. Besides it was just a bad day or week, not a bad life.

Thank you for everything Mama and Papa. I love you both so much.

Lots of Crazy Stuff While Babysitting Peepot

 (Left to right)
 I was trying to make her sleep in my arms; but obviously she's hyper and even climb over the sofa; and we pretended that we were asleep just for a photo lol; she's mad because I kept on kissing her because basically I can't control it.
 (Left to right)
So I decided to let her drink her milk and still couldn't control myself so I bit her toe; so she tried to kick me.. in the face; after she finished her milk, she was posing while saying "buloo buloo"; and said "ahh" then I joined her coz that's how we baby sit, we do stupid things haha.
 (Left to right)
She was just trying to be cute; and she never fail, look how cute she is?; she was whispering something to me and I was like "reallyyy? ooohh" coz that's how I talk with kids; and pretended that I understood what she said.
(Left to right)
She punched me on my forehead; and laughed her ass out coz she's evil like that; revenge part, I tried to drag her up and she actually liked it; and wanted me to do it again.

The struggle is real though. I was so sleepy during that time, but I couldn't sleep because she's going to cry, either way I still couldn't sleep. So I just played around with her because basically when kids are happy, I am happy. No kidding, that's how I love kids, no matter how annoying or pain in the ass they get. I still love them, no matter what. Nur Shaifa a.k.a Peepot is a very sweet little girl. She's talkative like she say whatever we want her to say, and she improved a lot since she got here in our house. She talks more now and she actually eat real food now (not just drinking milk). She knows everyone inside the house. She calls me "Bada", coz she can't pronounce my name. She loves KathNiel and JaDine (she loves JaDine more, especially James Reid's Natataranata na and Huwag ka nang humirit hit songs). She's soooooooooooo cute that even when she cries out loud, it doesn't bother me anymore.

Uncontrollable Food Trip, Farewell To My Two Nieces & Grocery Shopping

 Mader, out of nowhere, wants to go to town to eat. We were surprised though but why would we say no right? So we "suit up" right away and headed to town. We went to Mindpro Mall for food trip, and it was indeed uncontrollable because Mama was like "Fahda buy this and that". I bought icecream in a cup to beat the heat and ice cream is the definition of summer. We should grab an ice cream during summer vacation, it's a must. After few minutes, Mama wants to go to Paseo which is a bad idea since it was still 3PM and the sun is out and shining brightly, so instead we went to the new branch of McDonalds in town. Plus, it was just in the front of my school, guess who's gonna go to McDonalds every break time? Haha. So we just ordered sundae for each of us, and two bff fries. It's always the go-to-order and it was magnificent and yummmyyyyy. It is true that McDonalds has the best fries in the world. 

Then, we went to the house of Aunt Rose to leave the two ladies there which was only near the town. We left them there because they were gonna catch the first trip to their hometown for school since they study there. After that, we went back to town to shop some grocery necessities. And grab some dinner because it was already twilight then we went back home. It was such a nice and craving satisfied day. Thanks Mom!
PS: Hello Ma! If you're reading this. Haha.
