Bubog

      Physical, mental and emotional wounds that never heal. These are wounds that will remain wounds forever. And as you age, it becomes deeper and stronger. It becomes part of your identity as a person like a scar in the cheek and birthmark in the ear. 
      Ang bubog sa buhay mo ang magsisilbing pilat na hinding hindi na mabubura ng kahit na ano pang sebo de macho. Magiging basehan na ng buhay mo ang bubog na iyong natamo. Maaring ito'y makakabuti o kaya nama'y tuluyang makasama habang tinatahak mo ang mundo ng buhay. Nakasalalay sa mga taong nasa paligid mo ang pagtrato mo sa mga bubog na ito. Marahil nakatamo ka ng bubog dahil nabulywan ka ng nanay mo sa kadahilanang hindi ka nakapaghugas ng pinggan o di kaya nama'y hindi pinansin ng iyong propesor ang pinagpuyatan mong nobela. Maraming pwedeng maging sanhi ng bubog, mapa-malaking bagay man ito o maliit na rason na nakapagpabago ng buhay mo. Habang binabasa mo ang lathalang ito, alam kong may nasa sa isip kan nang itinuturing mong bubog sa buhay mo. Natanong mo na ba sa sarili mo kung ano ang naidulot sa'yo nitong bubog na 'to? Sino at ano ang naging sanhi nito? Masasabi mo bang "Salamat sa bubog na 'to bla bla bla.." o baka naman "Lecheng bubog ka! Sinira mo ang bla bla bla.." Alin sa dalawang katagang ito ang nasabi mo? Bubog. Isang salita, milyun-milyon ang maaring mahita.

SEP'12

"Feels like the first time! Feels like the very first time!"
I've been a camper seven times already and still not getting tired of it. I started as a camper at the age of 11, I used to be that shy and tame camper that counselor would usually ask "Rachel, okay ka lang?" for I don't speak often. But in my 7th time, I'm somehow the 'Ate' that they look up to (I hope hehe). New activities were introduced this year: ultimate frisbee, trekking, acting class.

The Despicable Guy, good bye!

Are you looking for your Prince Charming?

Nako reader, wag mo nang i-deny! Kaya mo nga 'to binabasa di ba?

So anyway, where was I? Oh yeah, Prince Charming.

It all started with this. Blah blah blah. Yan ang umpisa na lahat ng kaadikan na nararamdaman ko mula nung January hanggang ngayon. Di ba, umpisa pa lang nakakahatak na ng atensyon. Actually, hindi naman ako masyadong mahilig magbasa ng fan fictional stories e, until TDG was introduced to me by my friend, Joyce. Pag-uwi nya from school, nakita nya yata ako na super bored na nakatulala lang at nakatingin sa kisame, "Chel, may papabasa ako sa'yo." Kala ko naman kung ano lang, binigay nya yung phone nya tapos may pinabasa sya, kala ko naman quote lang na nagpatawa o nagpakilig sa kanya, o baka naman text lang ng crush nya. Pero hindi e, 60 CHAPTERS!!! But then, I kept on reading and reading and reading and imagining and picturing the actual scene and reading and reading and reading, nang mamalayan ko, 3 days straight na pala akong nagababasa. There came a point na sinabi ko, "Magrereview muna ko o TDG? Naaaah! TDG muna!" Ano ba 'to! I just can't get enough! Every chapter, may umph factor! May iiiiiih factor! May aaaaargh factor! Ang OA ba? Iba kasi e. Nang matapos ko yung Book 1, basang-basa yung unan ko dahil sa luha at sipon(eew) ko. Then there came, *drum roll* Book 2! Every update ni Leng(author), inaabanagan, kinakikiligan, iniiyakan ko. I had to wait for a week para sa next update, yun yung nakaka'excite dun e.. ang daming hanging thoughts. *sigh* Bukas, matatapos na ang lahat. *sobs* :(


Di nyo ko ma'gets no? *smirks* Ganun talaga. You want to know what I'm talking about? See for yourself. :)

Life's a beach and more...

       What is summer without the ocean breeze? My fellow brethren and I went to Playa Calatagan last three weeks to savor fun under the sun! Took the liberty to take photos for it was really beautiful. I even got to see the sunset, and how fast the sun goes down. God really made everything wonderful and would make you utter "My Father, you sure did a great job creating all these, huh! :)" 

       The last photo is -_- Haha! Presenting... my enormous, duck-feet! :P Enjoy the rest of the summer everyone!
