Just When...

Just when..

I'm getting to know who I really am..

I'm opening up, showing up my true self,removing my masks..

I learned how to laugh out loud, again..partly because of the contagious boisterough laughter of peachy, yona and talie..

There are people who accepted me for who I am like Yona, Talie and Dex..

I'm tightening the bonds with the people around me, my felloe MBS people, especially with my sleepmates - Olops, Francis, Lyn, Mech, Peach

I found the buddies who made me laugh and cry by heart..

I shed tears for losing some special people in my life but still there are real friends who showed that there are still hundred reasons to smile and be happy..

I found those people to whom I can freely open up..

There is a shoulder I could cry on, hands to wipe away my tears..

I appreaciate the company of the people around me..

Just when I realized that its possible to have "real friendship", that friendship can truly exist..


That's then the time that we have to part ways. And sadly, it was all too abrupt, too shocking..


Goodbye guys..


I'll never forget:


our daily meryenda at the pantry..

The tusok-tusok ni kuya na ate, ate na barbers - calamares, tokneneng, chicken pop, beef, isaw, bopis

The shawarma ni kuya..

The french fries ni tiya..

The baduya, turon, banana-q, kamote-q ni tiya na may kiray ang kuko..

The daily lunch ni ate na kuya and kuya na bagong-rahay.

Peachy, yona and talie's kalaka..

Our cool, generous, understanding and kind-hearted Sir Dex..

Yona's ever-ready concern, openness, understanding and smartness..

Everyone's blogs, articles and posts

The pressure of editing, of beating the deadlines..

The backlogs

The Secret Ingredients..

Dex, Yona, Talie, Olops, Francis, Lyn, Mech, Peachy, Iris, Tin, Chayee, Ate Razh, Jirl, Yna, Ate Kla, Nayz, Ate Carol, Ruth..and all of you guys!!


Life is indeed a series of let go's, and let God's..

I'll truly, madly, deeply miiiizzz u guys!!! Love u all!!

Godbless us!!!

Experience as the Best Teacher


Experience, they say is the best teacher, but( yes, there's owez the “but"), it is oftentimes a harsh teacher? Why? Because most of the time, we have to go through pains and tears for the lessons to set in. In a classroom setting, we’re given the lesson first and later on, the test to see if we really learned something.

In real life, however, that may seem to work the other way around, the test first and the lesson in the end. We have several means on how we can learn those lessons but still, we need real experiences to test us and give us opportunities to apply those lessons. And yes, the lessons we learn from experiences are still way too different from those we learned through others or through books, net, and many other mediums.

However, no matter how great a teacher an experience may be, it’s still up to us if we’ll be open to the lessons it will teach us, or we’ll just continue to go through those experiences, over and over, learning nothing.
