SOON!

This is a bittersweet moment for us and we are facing a very challenging trial. But Rob & I are working so hard to make it through all this together. Although tears have been shed and words were said, we're still doing our best to be positive and strong and to be mature about our decision. ONE BIG DECISION that will forever change who we are. Pray for us, dear friends. We are in dire need of prayers and support.

disappointment at its finest

DON'T EXPECT.

I can't fully explain why I came into this realization just now. It seems that people, no matter how much you believe they love you, will always be a disappointment. It's just fuckety fucking that people would be so darn selfish when all you did was to be generous to them. I'm not wanting payment over the things I did but I at least expected a little of it to be reciprocated. It's just plain horrible that these people (or person. YOU SON OF A BITCH) would be fucking selfish and when the time comes that there is nothing left with them (or him), they would come rushing to you for comfort. I did nothing but share what I had!! I SHARED!! And it fucking hurts when people don't get to give even a tenth of what you gave them. SELFISH LITTLE MONSTER! You can go to hell with your NEW gadget and DON'T EXPECT ME TO BE THERE cause I'll be busy spending my money for myself! 

Jieshua's first day in school!

My baby is now a big boy. :) Such a surreal feeling.

Jieshua is already 4 years old and as I've mentioned in previous posts that he'll be in school this June. That day has finally arrived and it was epic! haha. We got up really early - 6AM! (Yes, that's early for us.) We got ready for school and since it's his first day, I wanted to be there and see how it goes! 

his "I'm ready for school" look!

The real "I'm ready for school" look. hahaha

I was expecting crying already. It's the first day of school, right? At first, Jieshua was agitated when we came inside the room. He eventually settled down and played building blocks. My mama left the room first. When it was time for all mommies to go, Jieshua cried because he didn't want me to leave. He couldn't do anything but cry as I left the room. Other kids (a lot of them) cried as well. 

playing building blocks

Jieshua was crying. :( 

still crying.. 

I was holding myself back from barging in the door and snatching my son. I was really heartbroken to see him crying and I was there not able to do anything. To keep the children from crying even more, the teachers closed the door, shut the curtains and the blinds. Parents had no choice but to leave. When we came back I saw an area where we could peep and see how the kids are doing. I saw them sitting in chairs and listening to the teacher. They were calm already. When it was time to go, the teacher let the parents get their kids one by one. When Jieshua saw me, he was about to cry again. haha. I told him not to cry cause I was there already. Haha. It was a really fulfilling to see your son conquer the first day of school. :) We rode the calesa after that.

his " I conquered school" look.

calesa ride.

of heroes and heroism

The chief Raoni cries when he learns that brazilian president Dilma released the beginning of construction of the hydroelectric plant of Belo Monte, even after tens of thousands of letters and emails addressed to her and which were ignored as the more than 600,000 signatures. That is, the death sentence of the peoples of Great Bend of the Xingu river is enacted. Belo Monte will inundate at least 400,000 hectares of forest, an area bigger than the Panama Canal, thus expelling 40,000 indigenous and local populations and destroying habitat valuable for many species - all to produce electricity at a high social, economic and environmental cost, which could easily be generated with greater investments in energy efficiency.

It was brought to my attention that there is a petition we all can sign to help support these indigenous people and the Amazon. Please take a second to check it out below or comparable petitions that are available. Thank you.

I've been scrolling and reblogging in my Tumblr like I always do and found some really interesting posts. There are days when I feel like reblogging fashion stuffs, cute stuffs, and then there's food but today, I wanted to acknowledge the heroism of some unsung heroes. A man who went and saved his best friend from a grenade in Afghanistan. See the post here. And I was even more touched by the post about a tribe in Brazil that are being ejected from their land to give way to the construction of a f-cking dam. How heartless could the government be? This is the post. And this is the direct link to the site where you could sign the petition. Please sign. It would only take a little of your precious time. Spread the word!

On a lighter note, I found out just recently that the anti-gay bill in Uganda, in which I signed a petition as well, was stopped. :) We can make a difference people! :) You just have to believe! :) ♥

Day 15 | My dreams

I have a lot of dreams. When I was young, I wanted to be lawyer but now, I don't want it anymore because it's too political for me. As of the moment, one of my dreams and one of the most immediate ones is graduating! I have three more terms left and if all went well and God allows it, I would graduate June next year. :) YEEEYY!! I dream of becoming a flight attendant just recently because of my cousin being one. :) haha. I heard the money is good and I can travel *FOR FREE*. (another YEEEEYYYY!!!) But sometimes I think that I want to stay in school a little bit longer. I want to pursue further studies because above anything else, (I must admit that) it's the best that I do. I love going to school and sometimes I hate the workload and quizzes but I love being in school. I don't know if I indeed chose the right path when I put "Education major in English" as my undergrad degree in college but it seems that it is rightfully unfolding now. I still don't know which path to take or if I would be fit to be an FA or if being a teacher or professor is my true calling. I still don't know. God knows how much thinking I'm putting into this.It's quite confusing. But oh well. I cannot decide now because that belongs to my future. For now, I will enjoy studying and hanging out with friends and cramming! haha. :) I'll enjoy the thrill of wearing short shorts. I love violating the dress code! But I love my school. haha. ANIMO Lasalle! :)

Oh, it's our centennial celebration on June 16, 2011. Join us. 

COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS.COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS.COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS.COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS.COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS.COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS.COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS.COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS.COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS.COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS.COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS.COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS.COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS.COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS.COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS.COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS.COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS.COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS.COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS.COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS.COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS.

COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS.

I should repeat this mantra over and over again. We should count our blessings but sometimes (or often), we forget the great things in our lives and see just the ones that are missing. :( God help me see the things I cannot see. Help me know that I may not have everything but I am lucky to not have nothing.. I wish I could be a monk or a hermit, who doesn't care about worldly possessions. :| grrrr. 

I make lame titles so yeah...

I am downloading stuffs from the internet and I decided to play with photobooth. :))
I look stupid. well, I am.
These are my photos. :)))
