I dont know if it’s right for me to post here but I want everyone to be aware especially Tanauan,Leyteand Brgy. Sto. Nino Tanauan Leyte. I am so sad about what happened to my grandfather. My grandfather has been hurt and in pain right now (sinakal siya and para daw siyang binuhat and then nabagok ang ulo niya sa bato kasi tinulak siya after). A truck driver name Alberto Silvano, 47 years old fromSouthern Leyteand who was drunk hit my lolo who is 77 years old. My lolo wanted him to turn off the engine because the truck was on idling for so long. There are heavy fumes all over.

 [Police station]

Before going to the police my sister went to Barangay Hall and made a complaint about what happened then went to police to make a report as well. The truck driver was there already naunahan sila and reported that sumugod daw lolo ko with broom na burnt an tips that cause his injury and what he did to my lolo was self defense and masama pa dyan parang naniwala pa dun sa driver yung mga police. Tanauan police said that my family is wasting time because the incident is for Barangay level only. Wow!

[Parking of truck in the vacant residential]

My aunt made a complaint to our Barangay last December 22, 2010 about the Illegal Parking of Trucks in the vacant residential lot next to our house. My aunt pointed out the following facts for serious consideration.

1. Consequences of Illegal Parking

2. Constant Idling of trucks

3. Emission of Fumes

4. Water Stagnation due to soil erosion

5. Polluting the environment

6. Strangers in the neighborhood that will cause:

      a. constant threat to the young family members

      b. possible invasion or robbery by unsocial elements relating to strangers.

[My point of view]

First of all I want to say that the system SUCKS!!! Police?? Screw them!!!  

My grandfather raised me and as a granddaughter I know him kilala ko siya, NEVER siyang nangagrabyado ng tao. Whatever that driver told the police was a total lie. We can actually pull witnesses. Dun sa mga police did you check his wounds na kung makapag salita kayo eh parang sure na kayo na yung lolo ko gumawa nun?  God knows it wasn’t fresh and if my grand father uses a broom with burnt tips to hurt that awful driver they should investigate more and I’m sure that my grandfather is not guilty. 

Before the year started I made a “TO DO LIST” first on the list was to make my Do-It-Yourself project and I did. Hooray for me! Last Sunday I was pretty bored and I had nothing to do well I kind of wanted to watch movie and browse on the internet same routine but I wanted to do something different so Goggled some tutorial on making bracelets and decided to make a friendship bracelet (to prove that, well the materials are not hard to find and is available at the moment so… haha!)

 Anyways I don’t want to make this post longer since I’m making another friendship bracelet which I’m going to share on my next post so bye for now. 

So what do you think guys?

After watching I found it so moving! It’s really sad and I can’t stop thinking about it. I am so amazed that those kids could come up with something so strong. There doing something amazing and everyone needs to know. It’s about time today’s generation proved to the world who we really are and what we’re capable of.

The first cemetery I ever visited. That was the first time I fell in love with a cemetery. For years I made the assumption that cemetery is a creepy place because it’s haunted well that’s what we get watching horror movies. It’s quite and peaceful I found myself walking the ground in silence it’s my way of showing respect.

That’s my grandfather they traveled all the way from Leyte though my grandmother had a hard time traveling and walking because she’s old but she still made an effort for her sister. 

This is the reason why my grandmother was not in the picture together with Papang. I forgot to mention that I call them Papang and Mamang instead of Lolo and Lola. 

I’m already missing those motherhood and fatherhood moments.

Did you grab a copy of Candy’s Jan-Feb issue? I hope you did! But if not, you can grab your copy now! it’s never too late.

Amid the confusion and excitement about Prom the idea of being stunning on that night will prevail. Prom has become more or less one of the most important events in your high school experience though for some people it’s another reason to worry and feel stressed out (mga KJ).  The reason why I’m asking if you have a copy of Candy’s Jan-Feb issue it’s because they have tips on how to look great on that evening #justsharing.

Now looking back on that day I dressed very conservatively then during Señior prom it was a very risky dress *insert laughing. I’m not sharing any photo No…No… anyway if I’m going to prom I’m going to wear … 

Fabulous Floaty Dress or

Long Cut Dress or

Strapless Dress or

Lacey Dress  eto bet ko.

What do you think? Share your prom experience.

Warning! Flooding your dashboard again sorry.

View from the top.

During day off I usually sleep, eat, do the laundry, go to the mall, window shop, bloghop etc… but yesterday was different my partner and I decided to hit the road. Lesson learned from yesterday, before embarking on a road trip you make sure to have your camera with you then double check if it’s fully charged. haha

So I opted for a laid back look.

When I was young and cute then, kidding!! (why?? I was cute when I was young I’d like to think that I was. haha)

On a more serious note,

I can still remember

First when my mamang(lola) used to buy some fabrics and would make them our dress (me and my sister) during Christmas parties or any events in school when we were young and I was complaining because I was the only one who’s wearing dress and everyone was actually wearing jeans. Thinking that jeans are way fashionable than dresses.

Second how I took up garments during the last year in high school as a preparation for college. There were actually 4 special courses that we need to choose during the last semester one is garments like I mentioned above which is basically pattern making and fashion design, then we also have computer subject, engineering, and art classes.

And lastly, how I mix and match my cousin’s clothes because they always have that problem on “what to wear”.

You know that feeling of regression because what I’m exactly feeling right now is that I’m a total failure and a little disappointed. I feel like I just wasted my 4 years in college, the time, effort and money.  Not pursuing what I always love to do. Those things I mentioned above were actually signs that my passion is FASHION too bad for me it was late when I realize what I like to be. I always dream of being a stylist but of course I can’t be one if I know nothing about it. Now here’s a new opportunity since Fashion Institute of the Philippines is now in Cebu you know what’s next and im looking forward to be that person I wanted to be.

TGIF
