I ♥ my cousins




They're the most amazing people I've ever known. They all love and care for me dearly and I also love them from the bottom of my heart. We always have a lively time together and there is never a day that we bore each other to death. It is a great blessing to have them all in my life and I know I am very lucky to spend my life with them. These persons are the people who know who is the real Cha, the girl who plays hide and sneak at dawn, always saying yes in adventures and dares, will try all the extreme rides in a theme park even though others are already green and the girl who will never miss a happy moment with the family. The real me who is always ready to forgive, the one who's up for scary stories and horror movies but ends up in the arms of a cousin, and the cheerful girl who always say hi to everybody. They are also the ones who stood by my side when I was down and when I'm not sure of myself. They're all just one call away from me and in an instant they are there to be my friend and will help me in any situation. They're not just simple relatives but great relatives who support each other in every way they can think of. They never turned their back on me, they always have their helping hand reaching out to me whenever I need it and I know I could always trust them. They've been there since I'm a baby, acting like my guardian angels, guiding me and protecting me. I always feel safe when I'm with them and it's a good feeling when you know that you're perfectly secured in their own arms. For all the things that they gave and offered me, I will give it back by loving them more and show how much I care about them. I will never put them down nor be a disgrace but I will work hard and let them see that all their effort and kindness to me was NEVER a waste. They are my family. My REAL FAMILY and I ♥ them more than you think. ;)

My beloved Twitter



I signed up in Twitter 2 years ago just for fun and in knowing that I could tweet what I want to say. I figured out I could use it to express myself when I have no one to talk to. I didn't really plan to have many followers and follow some people but then I knew Justin Bieber and followed him on Twitter. I also followed some people who have some cool tweets and some celebrities. As time goes by, I meet a lot of friends around the world, Beliebers and awesome people. Twitter is not about how many followers you've got but how many friends you've got. You meet random people and socialize with them. Inspiring and encouraging each other with cheerful tweets and making each other laugh withe funny ones. Twitter is the socializing network that enables me to meet great friends. Sometimes I think that Twitter Friends are better than some of my real friends because they surely understand you and always got your back. They are always there when you need someone to talk to and someone to cheer you up. They just don't ignore you but they count you as a part of a whole. We help each other and never let each other down. I've built friendships there and I hope it will last forever. Twitter is also a trust-worthy source for information that you could really rely on. You could see tweets about various quotes, fun facts, environmental issues, world news, updates about your favorite book series, movies, celebrities and alike. Some tweets also boggles your mind about certain issues and makes you think deeply about it. I also learn a lot of things there like some words in different languages, how some teens like me view things in some perspective and we somehow relate with each other, some facts about other countries and a lot more. Twitter is multi-functional and I love it. I love tweeting and that is ME. :D

WANTED: Older brother

I realized I badly want an older brother. My friends say that having an older brother is chaos and I think I can picture that out. I see my cousins with older brothers fight and piss one another off. I see them quarrel and tease each other like little kids and attacking each other because the older bro got her stuff but it still doesn't change my mind to have an older brother. I want to experience the things that other girls experience who have them. Having an older brother for me is an awesome gift from God because you are really lucky to have them. I want to carry the memory forever of how an older brother truly cares, protects, and loves me but I think that's really impossible. You see, I'm an only child and I grew up with only my toys, my yaya, and my cousin in week ends for play mates. I basically lived for 14 years without siblings. Everyday when I arrive from school I have no one to talk to about what happened to my day or what I feel because it's just awkward to talk about it with my mom because I know she'll just laugh at me or whatever. It's really just different if I have a brother of my own who can willingly listen to me when I have problems and comfort me. A brother that would always lend his hand to help me and would always be there no matter what. A brother that would help me to stand on my feet again when I fall down. A brother I could share my secrets and experiences with and vice versa. A brother that I could laugh with my jokes. A brother that would love me for who I am and would accept me whole-heartedly. I know what I'm asking for is clearly beyond the bounds of possibility and I can't have a real older brother in a million years. An idea struck me that if I can not have my own older brother by blood then maybe there is someone there that could love and care for me like his own little sister. I'll wait for that day when someone will sincerely consider me his own sibling and I would be totally ecstatic.

I'm betwixt and between :|

I was brainstorming on what my topic will be in this blog and ended up with two topics:
1. One that I really wanted to talk about but I am scared to because I might offend some people OR
2. Something I really love to talk about but people have been posting about it and it's already a hackneyed topic.
So I was stuck with that two subjects and my mind's literally screaming at me to choose one, at once or else I'll take more time with this. Obviously, I didn't choose one of those options and just decided to talk about whatever I want. I guess it doesn't matter. As I'm typing here my brain is thinking random thingamajigs and it's all messed up. I didn't know how to prioritize, so I'm pretty well mucked up. Life is about decisions and it's either that or this. Mind you, fellow, one small mistake would blow everything off. Be wise and know what to choose. I chose amusement over studies, now my conscience is flashing 'Yeah girl, HORRIBLE IDEA'. If I just sacrificed a week of not using the Internet and study. If I just listened to my mom and her threats. If I just knew how to prioritize. If I just knew this will all happen. I would have done better with my exams. Ifs that wouldn't do anything but continue to remind me of my failures. Too late, exams had passed and I'm left to wait for that horrifying day that makes my stomach do a back-flip and a somersault...Card Day. I know I didn't do well in most of my exams but I'm still hoping that I will not receive my most feared grade or else I'm really doomed. I promise to do A LOT better on the second grading and I will sacrifice. This time, I'll compromise and do my best to concentrate on the lessons. The next time after exams, I would be sitting here confident of my grades and not like today that I'm nervous and terrified of what the results will be.
