New Year, New me, New you

New Year, New Me, New You

The horrific year of the Rat had finally reached its end. The previous year brought chaos to every nation around the globe. A bucket-full of crisis increased from time to time while the urging call for nation upliftment diminishes every second. A lot of people suffered from hunger and anguish yet, each of us gained unity as everyone gathered around the festive table, in preparation for the year of the “EARTH OX.”

Not everyone hoped to change by the year 2009, but there are quite a number of individuals who’re eagerly preparing for their brand new life where new opportunities are up for grabs. Surely, I’ll be one of those people who will strive hard and work my way in order for me to attain my goals for myself and for others, also. And, this all starts with one’s New Year’s resolution.

Since the day that I entered into the Holy House of Worship and read the Bible at my young age, I’ve never committed myself to God; neither did I join youth fellowships and Bible studies. For the past fifteen years of my stay here on earth, I’ve been blind. That is why, I wanted to grow more spiritually and be engaged in religious activities to bring glory and honor to God. Furthermore, I found out that relationship with fellowmen is an extremely significant matter. I’ve once lost my good bond with my family and a friend, which is one of my reasons, why I am so eager to build that inner connection that guilt once took away from me. Well, we are humans and guilt is a normal phenomenon. And the last but not the least, I wanted to share my blessings to everyone whom God thinks deserves it. Every creature here on this planet receives a million blessings a year, thousands were showered before the end of the twelve merry months and hundreds are sprinkled a day. God bestows gifts through blessings on us, not for us to boast about it but for us to share it to our brothers and sisters.

The triumph of this fresh year lies within our hands. We have paths that we will soon choose, either be it for our own benefit or for the benefit of others. Whatever roads we may take in the future, let us all keep this in mind, God is watching over us and everything that we say and do counts.

COOKie Queen

ugly?

The Cookie STORY
a sweet delicacy

I've never ever had even a single interest in baking. I find it BORING and TOO HARD TO MAKE. I'll just waste my time. I admit, I'm a lazy individual but I do some work once in a blue moon. So, the day DECEMBER 31 came. As usual, I woke up LATE, I spent the whole yesterday with my best buds, what can I do, It's a total girl night out. And no, Puh-lease, we didn't go to a bar or a club, neither of the two exists here in our place. Oh, back to the story.. `

Well, the 31st day of December is one of my best buds' birthday. So, mom told me to bake something for her. That's if I wanted to. I helped her sift the cocoa, though. and..and.. measure it. i spent a couple of minutes, brainstorming. If I'll bake or not. At last! I came up with a magnificent ANSWER. Guess what? It's a YES. Yeah~ As expected.

I made a cookie. A sugar cookie. Have you ever tasted it before? let me describe it. It's white, and has a sugar sprinkled on top of it which make it a sugar cookie. trust me guys, It's suitable for any occasion. Birthdays. Christmas. Picnics. New Year. Name it, It's totally gonna make the party nicer.

i just hope that Irish loves the cookies and I also gave Julie some. My aunt and mom told me that the cookies I made were delicious.

Sorry for the delay of this post. I'm,sort of, busy with my other blog. Yes.. I made a new one and Thanks God, tons of visitors are leaving loads of cutie comments. Oh, for this post, I just wanna say to you that We WON the CHOIR COMPETITION. Yes, we did it!!

A fellow classmate of mine told me the very good news. At first, I thought it was a joke. But, no it's NOT. Just by hearing that we won the competition made me smile. I need to confirm it to my dear sensei (teacher) though. And the story behind this? I will relate it to you.

My classmate told me that our prinicipal Mrs. Rizza went to meet one of the judges. Well, One of them honestly confessed that they tricked us. Well, Mr. judge, good TRICKING. They made fun of us in the stage, in front of the crowd. Damn them! Haha. May konsensya pa pala siya. ^^. I just hope that this would not happen again. Anyways, Thank you Mr. Judge for being H-O-N-E-S-T.

And that's the end.

THE NEW SAKURA BLiSS B-L-o-G..
the sweet journey

I made my new B-L-o-G last week. Fortunately, a lot of individuals visit it. So, why not, click the link to go to my other sweet pinky site. I made it out of boredom since I kinda start to get bored with my current blog layout. I can't change it 'cause I find it tiring. I placed a lot of things in here so it would just take me a year before I finish everything. haha. OopSie. Oh yah, It's HOLIDAY. So why not give me COMMENTS as presents..? Oh. I love PRESENTz. I know you do too.

Here's the link LOVELIES: www.pinx-hollix.blogspot.com

SWEET BLOGGIE AWARDS

I received two awards from pupuy. TERIMA KASIH PUPUY!! Love yah' gurl.
Here it is:




I will pass these awards to:

Ate Ellaine,Mom,and to everyone in my LINK LIST >_<

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE..

"We lost but everythings worth it"

In a competition, there are people whom we call the champions of the game and also, people who lack the luck of winning. The real essence of competing is building up unity among the members and not just merely proclaiming yourself as a victor.




Busy.Busy.Busy
Three words that would describe my sweet Saturday. It was also the time that our team would stand up on stage, singing and dancing. Half the day, we practiced our choreography and our song. the other half was intended for our make-up session and preparation. Everything was set when the clock strike five. We took quite a little number of photographs of our dear selves. Then, we proceeded on our last two practice.

We went to the oval plaza fifteen minutes before six. I never felt my heart beating so fast. I wasn't nervous.. Maybe because I'm immune in these kind of things? We were the first one to present. The first years, were both excited and I can feel that there hearts beat fast like that of a running jaguar.

During the presentation, I never expected that there would be tons of people that'll give us a nice warm applause . With that, I know they enjoyed our presentation and LOVED it. We made them smile. Dad, my mom and some of my classmates told me that our presentation never bored them. It was fun and they thought we would win. That's what I thought too. But, God is generous. He gave the others the chance to prove their selves. The Victors were from Holy Trinity College, 1st runner-up goes to MSU, 2nd Runner-up goes to... (sorry.. I'm suffering from memory loss. so as usual, I forgot about the name of the school) and the last place goes to us-SPED.

Even though, we weren't victorious, at least we did our best. It does not mean that if a man loses in a game, then he'll remain a loser till eternity. Everyone has his own time to shine. We all possess both the beauty and the grace within ourselves. What matters most, is the way we apply it for the justness of our lives and for others also. Never learn to give up if you know you have a chance. Winning is just a single glimpse away.

SPED UNTIED~

So guys, we're going to join a choir competition and its going to be tonight. haha. It 'll be held at Gensan's Oval Plaza. I guess, there will be at least 4 schools that'll participate. It's another reason why I have no time for my blog. (har-har). I would be glad if you were there. haha.

What are we going to sing?

Just your typical visayan song. Yah- we're turning bisdak! it's particularly the Visayan version of Noche Buena and the other is-...I don't know the title. But it goes like this-- ♪♫Maglipay kita, Niining panahuna...Kay natawo na si Hesus nga manunubos..♪ ♫..and so on and so fort.

Oh yah, my dad is going to watch me. Love you dad!.. Speaking of dad, he's birthday is drawing near. and guess what, I have a special gift for him. haha.

That's all. Thank you.

(Got to hurry now. I have a choir practice to attend to!)
