Before I leave the house I would like to leave something.

"We should show/see ourselves smiling at least once a day so that we could see the real beauty of life" -Rhadson Mendoza :)

Hi there! I've been blogging here since the moment I woke up. Today is just a bright and beautiful day and it gives me a good vibe!

In just a few hours, I will be meeting my dad’s friend to hand over something, so by this time I should start preparing myself to leave.

And to you, dear reader, enjoy the rest of your day! I hope you're feeling jolly like I am right now!

:*

Recent discoveries about myself:

1.) I love watching BEN TEN TIME MACHINE (so much that when someone will change the channel I'll immediately get mad!!!)

2.) I'm an obsessive compulsive person (maybe because I organize ANYTHING too much).

3.) It takes me 2 hours just to settle a perfect layout for my blog (seriously, just done one today).

4.) I'm starting to be a shopaholic (for clothes and make-ups! YIKES!!!)

5.) I'm starting to cram doing my assignments and  review for quizzes/exams most of the time (I'm not like this when I was in highschool)

6.) I'm obsessed with Jake Gyllenhaal <3

7.) Now I weigh 92 lbs.

8.) Lastly, I always end in this number :)

Good morning!

So, I am trying to get a new blog design going here. Just a little something different. But somehow in the midst of it, I've trashed the content part - part of which is not allowing for comments. That stinks. I like your feed back. It's a part of connection I guess. So, thanks for your patience as I try to figure this out. I know - I'm a techie wanna be - and there are days I am better at it than others - today is not one of those days.

8 minutes...

I have 8 minutes until midnight and sure want this posted before the clock strikes twelve. OK, so I don't have a clock that will strike twelve, but it'll be midnight either way... Eight... Eight... Eight... Here we go.


EIGHT things I did today:

• 1) Slept until about 2 am... =)
• 2) Crammed reviewing for my midterm exam today
• 3) Arrived home at exactly 12PM
• 4) Ate Tuna Pasta for lunch (mmmmm... delicioso!)
• 5) Laundry
• 6) Disappointed some people that I surely didn't want to disappoint...
• 7) washed the dishes after having dinner
• 8) Blogged tonight

EIGHT things I DIDN'T do today:

1) Review for my midterm exam tomorrow

2) Finish my assignment in NSTP

3) Attend E-102 Class

4) Eat rice

5) Make a real dinner

6) work out

7) Dust... I really need to

8) Finish this list...

Whew... two minutes to spare... Hope today was a great day for you... What did you do?

It's a little surreal...

... that I'm sitting outside the porch, looking at a sky full of stars, and I'm posting a blog by using my phone. I can't be the only one who thinks... Wow. That's crazy. I think we continue to take for granted the technological advances. Just like we take for granted the star-filled sky overhead. To say this sky is beautiful is an understatement. To say it is awe-inspiring is not enough. To say it is mesmerizing is true but not close to accurate.

Your love, O Lord, reaches to the heavens. Your faithfulness to the skies. (Psalm 36:5)

For as amazing and big and vast and awe-inspiring and mesmerizing and beautiful this sky is... God's love is bigger. And just when I think I can focus on how big it is, God's love is bigger still. And then you think of 1 Corinthians 13 that says Love is patient. Love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast. It is not proud. It is not rude or self-seeking. It is not easily angered. It keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices in the truth. It always trusts, always protects, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.

Then... I think about it again but every time I say the word Love or It, I put in God's name... Or Jesus' Name... And then I stare up at this big ol sky and go ... Wow!! Thanks God for loving me this much. Thanks for loving me regardless, in spite of my faults, through good times and bad...and so on.

Maybe you can go take a peak outside tonight or tomorrow night and catch a glimpse of how big the sky is...and how big His love for you is... It's a lil surreal...

Superstition.

I guess I'm starting to believe the speculation that whatever happens to a person on the first day of the year or every January 1st, it will repeatedly happen to him/her until the year ends.

Why?

It's because when the firecrackers were already illuminated in front our house, which bought by my parents from the market, at exactly 12 midnight, something strange hit my left knee and it started to bleed. I figured that it came from the firecrackers for I'm obviously near those. I was hesitant at first to believe that this circumstance would occur to me again not until another week had passed and something horrible turned out with my left knee for the second time! I slipped on the wet pavement in town and got disgusting bruises. It's not yet healed until now nor the first incident, and I'm not letting this happen to me for the third time!

Heartache or Bugled mind?

There are times when I feel so happy, and there are times when I really feel so hurt. In just few thoughts, my feelings would eventually change and I am just making myself confused. It sucks actually, but most of the time I would think of throwing away objects that I would see near me if my heart could no longer handle the hurtful feeling that I am keeping inside. Apparently, that idea of mine never happened.

I don't know what to do anymore. I already made myself occupied with so many activities that will make me forget about those thoughts, thoughts that emit not-so-good vibes and eventually make me feel so angry and envious and then will end up crying.

Sigh.

This coming new year, I just want to receive good vibes, feel wonderful, beautiful and be filled with merriment.

Merry Christmas, world!

Hello,

It's been a long long long long long long long time since I updated this blog. I really have so many things to share with you, but I do not know where to start. Second semester in first year college really made my time occupied. AS IN. I'm getting used to sleep 3 to 4 hours at night just to finish all my assignments and be in school on time. Anyways, I'm still lucky that I'm strong, surviving and can accomplish everything on time. I thank God for that despite of all the pressure and anxious feeling that I couldn't avoid when I feel like I couldn't make it.

I'm glad that it's Christmas break and I have 2 weeks of worry free. Since it's also Christmas, I'm greeting all of you a wonderful one and happy holidays!

Wish everyone receives its own special gift this year

Will update you soon,
Erica :)

Say "HI" to the Miriam College Pep Squad 2011- 2012

Starting tonight...

I will place a pen and a notebook near my bed, so whenever I dream of something I can easily jot it down. I am planning to do this for the rest of my life, because I believe that these dreams have a message that must be interpreted to unlock something that involves my life and my relation to others, or like what my professor mentioned in my psychology class, these might somehow become true in reality. If there is an instance that one of these came true and I saw it written on my notebook, that's when I will advice you to do the same thing too!

And I bet this will be fun!

Have a nice day!
