Hello, 2014!

holiday

It's January! It's my birth month! ^_^ and it's 2014!

I am so excited for this year, really. I don't know why. But I am just...

I was actually a bit melancholic last night, just at home, watching Bridget Jones' Diary against the noises around me (being just 2 hours away from New Year's eve!) and I was alone, and only had my laptop and phone as my company...

But I went to the rooftop 5 minutes before 12 and watched the fireworks... Thanking God for all his blessings and grace, and for seeing us through 2013, and for letting us see 2014... And after that, I was fine already... I felt confident about this year. And seriously excited.

I suddenly want to do so many things.

One is, as inspired by the movie, I am gonna be hopeful in keeping a Diary this year, or a Journal which I hope to bring with me all the time. I want the conventional one, not a mobile application, as there's a bit disadvantage to that in case the phone gets broken, or missing.

I will also strive to be cautious in what I eat, and try to do that, really. The real challenge is that, today, being the first day when I am supposed to be on diet-watch, there are left-overs that I will feel sorry for once they get spoiled :( I feel bad already.

I also will have a BUCKET LIST. First time in my life, and I am up to the challenge of fulfilling whatever I will think of putting in there this 2014...

And I will also TRY MY BEST in doing the FMS Photo A Day Challenge. I tried so hard last year and I only had 10 photos in a month, at the most.

But now, see...


I made it my desktop wallpaper. I am that eager to accomplish that thing! 

And the challenge was brought upon me as soon as I read it. Coz by the time I have checked the list, I had already skipped DAY 1's. I woke up at 1 P.M. :( 

But then, I can still make up for it tomorrow! :) 

--AND I WILL!

Yey, I will. ^_^

GOODBYE, 2013!

death

Maybe it was coz of my Facebook post before I slept last night that I dreamed of these two precious people, in their old bedroom, ready to get to sleep...

So, I had to leave the room so they can rest, and I gave them each a peck on their cheeks (which was unusual) and said goodbye, and they also said their goodbyes to me... (Tatay even waved...)

I am thankful that I was able to see them again... but sad coz I terribly miss them... 



I will be facing the coming years with inspiration from them, from their love. I have no regrets when I look back to the times I spent with them...

I am actually grateful for Cebu Pacific Air (plugging?!) for I was able to treat them to all-expense vacation to their homeland, Guimaras, --TWICE, thanks to their affordable promos. Then they'd both ask when will the next promo be, so we can all go again. If Cebu Pacific Air can read my post, my Lola was really very proud that our airline tickets were cheaper than the tax we paid at the airport, that she went bragging it to everyone she got to talk to back in Guimaras and here in Manila...

I really thank God that they were given to us to be our grandparents, our Mamang and Tatay...

I am blessed because of them... 

Goodbye, Mamang and Tatay... until we meet again!

I MISS HIM TODAY.

grannies

He has always been one of my kakampi sa lahat ng bagay. Especially when it involves my grandmother.

He has always understood. Always thoughtful. Always caring...

He was always giving. I really won't ever forget his gesture when he tried to give me his most memorable P100 bill just so I can do my follow-up interview.

He never failed to take care of my grandmother and everyone, even when his body was failing him...

He loved my grandmother so much.

He always tried to be strong.

He tried to go to church even if he has to walk with crutches, and even when his knees hurt with all the sitting and standing inside the church.

He loved God and His words.

Though I miss him so much, I know he's in a better place now, I can't complain.
