Last Post Before New Year.

I know, I know. It's been quite a while since I last posted an entry. Hey...it's not my fault. I've been having a lot of visits from relatives and friends. There's no time to really post an entry. Sorry. Hehehe...

Oh yes, I made a video once again. It's another holiday video. Hehe...this time, it's for the Fazon family. Since the Franciscos have one, the Fazons should have one as well. Hahaha!

2006.
Memories.
I laughed.
I cried.
I went through a lot.

So many experiences the past year. There are certainly moments that I just want to hide from the rest of the world. Of course, more of the experiences I've gone through, I share with others...either through this blog or through hanging out with friends or through texting them. I'd say, this was a good year. Despite all the hardships, all the tears shed, all the illness...it's been one good year.

I had a feeling it would be.

When I turned 20, I imagined the beginning of my adulthood as something I would always look forward to. Indeed, it was. Being a student-slash-editor, I've had my share of ups and downs. Being a daughter and a sister, I've had my share of laughter and tears. As a 20-year-old living her life to the fullest, I've had my share of joy and sorrow.

It's definitely a year to remember.

A Christmas Treat for the Francisco Family...

This is a little something to share with the Francisco family.

A short video to remind us of the many Christmases we've celebrated throughout the years.

It's Officially Christmas!

There's
only
one
thing
I'd
like
to
say
to
everyone
reading
this
blog...

One Day to Go.

Yes, one more day to go and it's Christmas Day. Oh, how time flies so fast. This Christmas, I only have one wish. That is...to be happy. As a kid, I would always wish for material things -- clothes, toys, shoes, musical instruments. But now, I'm a 20-year-old lady who has realized that true happiness does not come from mere earthly possessions. It's all about realizing what you already have in life: your family, your friends, your loved ones. Yes, it's all about the people in your life who made you the person that you are now.

Since I turned 18, Christmas has been different for me. You see, when I was younger (Note: Yes, younger. I still am young, you know.), I'd look forward to Christmas because I know for sure that I'd get a present, whether it is from Santa or my parents or my brothers. But now, I look forward to Christmas simply to give thanks to what I have over the past 12 months. The Christmas season is now a time for me to see how my life is getting better and better because of the people in my life. Even though there have been heartbreaking moments from one time to another, the happiness that I have still overcame the sadness I've felt.

I have a lot of reasons to be thankful for. Those reasons are the people in my life.

(*) Mama and Papi >> For twenty years, they have given me everything they could just so they can be sure I'm happy. They have never been anything else but the best parents a girl could ever have.

(*) Kuya Rom and Kuya Miguel >> They have been my protectors and my guardians...what would I do without them?

(*) Yvette >> She's been like my big sister and I'm happy to have her here with me.

(*) Chi >> My one and only best friend! She always has and will always be my one and only best friend. She has seen me at my worst and at my best. I could not ask for a better friend than her...

(*) Alla and Euki and Claudia >> my Panganay and my Bru and my Sis...being friends with them for a decade (yes, we've been friends since we were in fifth grade) has taught me a lot of things and they've helped me through thick and thin.

(*) College Barkada (Faye, Chatti, Marvi, Tracy, Doray, Maria, Tetel, Jane) >> For three years, they've helped me in my problems and shared my happiness. Our barkada has been through a lot of trials and yet we're still intact.

(*) Fine Arts Friends (Cha, Sari, Net, Nyx, Andres, Angelo, Francis) >> They have made me part of their circle and I am simply lucky to have them in my life.

(*) TS Family (Ms. Wowie, Lei, Jen, Nica, Ping, Febbie, Ian, Ykai, Jay, Chesca) >> They have always helped me when I'm down. Without them, my college life may not be this colorful.

(*) Two of my PolSci Professors (Professor Yu and Sir Boogie) >> They have served as my inspiration and they continuously encourage me to become a better student in the classroom and a better person in the real world.

(*) LoRiCeR >> Through thick and thin, we're still one. I'm the luckiest girl in the world, being part of this wonderful batch.

There are still a lot of people to thank and to greet and God knows that there isn't enough space to tell all of them how grateful I am to have them in my life.

So to all of you...

Christmas is Near...

Still nothing much to do right now. I've been watching WWE Armageddon 2006 via YouTube. Oh the wonders of technology. I have wanted to see this PPV but here where I come from, the only way you can watch this is to pay P300 and see it in theaters. Well, at least I'm watching it right now, thanks to a certain YouTube user named dgenx214. Hehehe...

A few hours ago, I've texted a few of my friends, wishing them Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! When I think about it, I realize how truly blessed I am. I have my whole family here with me and they're simply the best family a girl could ever ask for, I have friends who have always been there for me through thick and thin, I have my professors who give me courage and inspiration to let me do what I want to do. How could I not be thankful for these people?

Blogthings...Again.

There's nothing really much to do around here. So I've decided to post some Blogthings. Hahaha!

When Will It End?

Just woke up from my afternoon siesta. Two hours of sleep isn't bad. After all, I needed it. You figured it out -- I'm still sick. Gosh...when will this end?!?

There's nothing really I could post right now. I'm pretty bummed out. Shoot! This flu is really getting on my nerves...I want to get rid of it right now. Of course, that wouldn't be possible. But I try...I drink lots of fluid and I take my medications.

I'm home alone right now. Kuya Miguel is at work, Kuya Rom is out with his girlfriend, Yvette, Mom went to attend to some clients, Dad went to Sucat to help Lola buy a new television. *Sigh* If I wasn't so sick right now, I'd probably be out with my friends, shopping. Stupid flu!

Happy Morning...

It was something I didn't actually expect. But God knows I hoped for this to happen. You see, my brother, Kuya Miguel, told me that he's going to give me his Sony Ericsson K608i when he buys himself a new phone. Last night, he texted me asking me if it was OK that his Christmas gift to me is the mobile phone. I believe his last message was: "Ano? Go ba or damit na lang?" Hahaha! Of course, my reply was, "Cellphone na lang noh!"

When he got home, I was actually already asleep. Hmm...come to think of it, it might be the reason why I wasn't able to sleep again late at night. He woke me up and told me that I can have the cellphone already. That came as quite a shock. I wasn't expecting to get the phone until Christmas day itself.

Oh how I love my brother! Ahahahaha!!!

Thanks, Kuya Miguel, for an early Christmas present...

Couldn't Sleep.

It's way past midnight and I find myself lying on my bed, staring blankly at the ceiling, thinking of...absolutely nothing. I couldn't sleep. I don't know, maybe it was because I have the flu. It's kind of hard to breathe when your nose is clogged and you cough every now and then.

It's officially the 22nd day of December 2006. A Friday. Three days before Christmas Day. Ten days before we welcome the new year. What's really on my mind? I don't know, really. I just feel very much awake. Not a sleepy bone in my body. But how I wish I could sleep right now. Poor me. I have to wait until I could actually get sleepy before I could get some rest.

Usually, when I can't sleep, I'd drink a warm glass of milk. Unfortunately, the milk's already gone. I already drank the last glass last night before I went to bed. Waaaaaaaaaaaaa!!! How I wish I'd get that milk right now. If only I could turn back time to get that one glass of milk. Damn it!

Hmmm...I really hope that my flu will be gone before Christmas. Or else...I'll be stuck at home with nothing to do but wait for my family to come home from Parañaque. That's a long time, I assure you. Woe is me!

My, oh my...around this time, I had bought something to wear for the holidays. However, since I'm sick, I haven't had the chance to go out and shop for myself. Heck -- I haven't had the chance to shop for gifts for my family. Sorry...stupid illnesses!

Maybe I should try sleeping again. I just want to get to sleep so I could rest.

Anyway, good night.

Sick -- But Feeling Better.

It's amazing how one person could actually make you feel better. I still have the fever and the colds and the cough but...despite all that, I'm feeling good inside. I don't really know why but I have the feeling it's because of someone who constantly chats with me. I don't want to say who he is. He might be reading my blog. Hehehe...but for sure, it has something to do with him. And to tell you honestly, it's all good!

Whenever I talk to this guy, I'm always smiling, I always feel good. Even if I'm kind of depressed and all, I'd feel better the moment I start talking to him. I don't know how he does it. But I sure am glad that I feel that way. Oh how I wish that I'd feel better tomorrow. I mean, I hope that I won't be sick anymore tomorrow. It's really starting to bug me. It's a good thing that someone keeps me smiling.

Watching F.R.I.E.N.D.S. right now in ETC. I have to say, even though it's a replay, I don't mind watching it over and over and over again. I like this sitcom. I hope I'd get the complete DVD series. Hahaha! There I go again, adding another wish in my wish list.

Wow! In just a few days, it will be a new year. I wonder what's in store for me by then. I hope it will be all good. I'm turning twenty one next year. In four months, actually. I'm quite excited. Hehehe...I'm an adult. Gosh! I hope I can have a party. I really want to celebrate my 21st birthday. I want to celebrate it with my high school and college friends. Quite a number of people but still a few, if you think about it.

There are things to look forward to by next year. There are also things that I wish would never occur. Now is not really the time to reveal what those are. I don't want to start crying over it. But don't worry...I'll tell you when the time is right.

A lot of things are running through my head right now. I know it's vacation time and it's really a time for me to rest and think about nothing related to school. But I'm sorry...I just can't seem to get it out of my head. I think about a lot of things. I think about the report I have to do by the time I get back to school on January 8th. I think about my thesis and how I'm going to do it. I think about The Scholastican and how we're going to accomplish everything. I think about...well, you know the drift.

All I want to do right now is to talk to him. Yes, that's all I want to do. To make me feel better inside, I guess. It's all I want to do right now. I can't help it. Everytime I think about him, I just forget about everything else. I smile at the thought of talking to him. Don't worry, guys. I'm not in love with the guy or anything. I just like spending a few moments of conversation with him. That's all.

Anyway, I have to go. Still watching "Armageddon" in YouTube.

Ciao!

Daughtry Rocks!

I am not a big fan of American Idol finalist, Chris Daughtry.

But I have to admit -- his debut album, "Daughtry," absolutely rocks! Every song is superb! My gosh...I never thought I'd actually say this but...I just love his album!

Yeah!

Who would have thought I'd actually be looking forward to his next album? Hahaha! All right, so I was a little bit fast thinking of Chris' next album. But how could you go wrong? "Daughtry" is simply outstanding! It's a must buy for everyone...yes, even if you're not a Chris Daughtry fan like me. Hmm...maybe I should add this to my wish list. Hehehe.

Update, people! "Daughtry" is officially in my Christmas Wish List! So for those of you who are thinking of giving me a gift for Christmas, here's your chance. Read my previous entry. Hahahaha! Cool!

A Not-So-Good Morning.

*Sigh* Third day of being sick. This is really getting to me. I can't believe this! I should be out there buying gifts for my friends and my family but no...can't happen. Stupid fever! Now I have the colds, too. How lucky am I to catch this illness?! It's really bugging me big time!

Argh!!! I don't want to be cooped up here at home and not do anything. I really want to go out, shop, hang out. Damn! I really hate this.

Gotta go. Have to eat breakfast (the most important meal of the day!).

Ciao!

Still Sick.

I really don't like the feeling of being sick. I don't feel so good at all. Not good at all. I feel so weak, so tired. All I want to do is to lie down and rest. For the people who know me, they will tell you I don't like not being able to do anything. I'd go crazy! I can't let this day go by with not doing anything. That's why I dragged my butt out of bed and immediately typed away my blues. I can't just lie around and sleep all day. I had to, at least, do something.

I'm currently watching Jurassic Park. Yep, the first movie. It's nothing special, really. I just like this one. Hehehe.

*Sigh* Even though I'm watching a movie, there's this song that keeps playing over and over and over in my head. "So Into You" by Tamia. I don't know why I'm having this Last Song Syndrome but since I heard that song again (which was last Saturday, December 16), I just can't get it out of my head. I kept listening to it inside my head repeatedly, not getting tired of it all. I guess I have Ian (Agoncillo) to thank for this. If it wasn't for her, we wouldn't have sung this beautiful song at all.

With every passing moment
Thoughts of you run through my head
Every time that I'm near you
I realize that you're heaven sent, baby

I think you're truly something special
Just what my dreams are really made of
Let's stay together, you and me boy
There's no one like you around
Oh baby

I really like
What you've done to me
I can't really explain it
I'm so into you

I really like
What you've done to me
I can't really explain it
I'm so into you

It could be the way that you hold me
It could be the things that you say
(That you say)
Oh, I'm not too sure what it is boy
But I know I like feeling this way, hey

I think you're truly something special
Just what my dreams are really made of
Let's stay together, you and me boy
There's no one like you around
Oh baby

I really like
What you've done to me
I can't really explain it
I'm so into you

I really like what I feel when I'm with you
You're a dream come true
Don't you ever leave my side
Cuz it feels so right

I really like
What you've done to me
I can't really explain it
I'm so into you

I really like
I'm so into you
I'm so into you
Oh, I'm so into you

How I love this song. I don't know. I guess it's because I like someone right now and this is really what I'm feeling for the guy. It's really nice to think of him and feel all giddy and happy and...well, you know, nakakakilig. Hahaha!

It's a good thing that I'm still able to feel jolly and all even though I'm sick to my stomach. My head is actually spinning. Feels like I'm riding on a carousel. Hahaha! This is fun. I just hope I wouldn't puke. Hehehe...

Hmm...I guess I better go and rest.

Happy Birthday, Professor Yu!

Oh happy day!

My favorite professor, Professor Rolando Yu, is celebrating his birthday TODAY. Yes, TODAY! Hehehehe...I'm so happy...if I'm correct, Professor is already 59 years old...hmm...yeah, I think that's right. I know he's a little bit older than my parents. Hahaha!

Happy Holidays to my High School Barkada!!!

This is a little something to give to my high school friends. We've been through thick and thin since we were in grade school and I'm so blessed to still have them as my barkada.

To Chi: my best friend...I don't know what I would do if I didn't have you in my life...

To Alla: my panganay na anak...wag mo akong unahan. Hahaha! You know what I mean.

To Euki: my bru...you always take good care of me in school. Thanks a lot!

I love y'all!

Happy holidays!

A New Day!

Good morning, world! How do you do? Oh my gosh! Can you believe it? It's actually five days before Christmas Day. But before Christmas, let me greet two of my gal pals from The Scholastican -- Jen Chan and Ping, happy birthday!!! Hehehe...where's the party at? Don't forget to invite me, all right? Hahaha!!!

*Sigh* Christmas...in less than a week, we'll be celebrating the birth of our Lord, Jesus Christ. When I talk to some people, they say that they still can't feel the spirit of Christmas. Mainly because they don't have the money to spend for gifts. It's actually sad, when you think about it. People think that Christmas is all for gifts and stuff and parties and so on. What they don't realize is that those are just bonuses to Christmas. Christmas is all about being happy with your family and friends. It's about realizing that life is great. It's about being fulfilled with your life.

How I wish that people would actually think about Christmas like that.

I feel lucky, honestly. I feel lucky because the fact of the matter is...I'm not really looking forward to receiving gifts. I mean, sure, if I get any, I'd be grateful and all. But the thing is, I'm happy because I'm with my family. I'm happy because I have friends who continue to love and care for me. I'm happy because I'm alive. I'm able to experience this life God has given me.

I wish people would realize that.

Especially Made for My College Barkada...

This is my part one present to the Sapiang Abnormal.

Merry Christmas, friends!

Love lots!

An Early Christmas Present to ABPOL3!

Here's a little something I whipped up just a few hours ago for my block. A taste of what's to be my Christmas present to everyone. I hope you like it, ABPOL3!

Merry Christmas to one and all!

Sick.

This is not good.

This is not good at all.

It's officially my Christmas break. This should be a happy day for me, now that I'd be able to get some much needed rest and relaxation. Whoopee! Unfortunately for me, I start this break with me having a fever. *Groan* What a way to start my vacation.

I guess I had this coming. With months of not having enough sleep and studying and going from one place to another, it's safe to say that I really deserve this. Sometimes, I just don't know when to stop. I want to do everything as much as I could, in the end, I'm the one who ends up suffering. I just wish I'd get better by tomorrow. I still have to do some stuff.

Here I go again.

JournSem Blues and Team Building Bliss

Since I became the Associate Editor, I looked forward to one thing and one thing only: the annual Journalism Seminar and Team Building. I had always imagined how things would go about this activity because this is a major thing for the Editorial Board. We all want this journsem/team building to be almost perfect, if not perfect at all.

But that was not what happened when we had the activity.

What I envisioned to be an activity filled with fun and laughter turned out to be a three-day nightmare and sorrow. From the turn out of the members to the flow of the activity, everything was, to say the least, HORRIBLE!

From the 55 members that were supposed to attend the journalism seminar, only a handful attended. What was even more frustrating was the fact that I was informed that not everyone knew that we had the seminar. Those who didn't know were said to belong to two sections: Deluge and Graphics. At this point, I wanted to scream! I wanted to scold someone. I wanted to be angry at someone. But I couldn't possibly do that. I needed to keep my cool, calm myself down.

Deep inside, I felt so humiliated! I didn't want to show my face to anyone I know. I just couldn't bear the fact that I am helpless. There was nothing more that I could do with what's happening at that moment.

After the journsem was over, the Editorial Board had a very emotional meeting. I had nothing to say. I was angry. And to let it out to the people who had nothing to do with my anger was useless. So I tried to forget about the whole journsem fiasco and looked forward to the team building.

Oh how I thought this would be the time I'd laugh about the depression I had. Turned out, it was the opposite.

I finally hit rock bottom when we couldn't leave the school due to the fact that we don't have a chaperone. Lei kept talking to Mrs. Ferrer, Ms. Det, Ms. Thess and Ms. Wowie, explaining things and hoping that we'd be able to get the hell out of school.

7:00 in the evening. We finally convinced Ms. Wowie to be our chaperone. We were all set to leave school. Unfortunately for us, the driver texted Sr. Celeste that we're still in school. Argh! While Lei, Jen, and I tried to convince the sisters to let us go, we were unsuccessful. Shoot! How are we going to explain this to the staff who are there already?

We got out of school and proceeded to Jollibee where we planned everything out. Lei spent the next few hours on the mobile phone talking to the admin and parents explainng what had happened.

After making sure that everyone had a place to sleep and that they'd come back for the call time, Ykai, Ian, Nica, Chiqui, and I went to Prov to let out all frustrations by means of singing out hearts out. After a few hours of letting out depression, we proceeded to Starbucks and decided to wait until the time we'd meet the others.

Oops! That didn't work. We were all so tired. We went to Aimee's place and asked if we could sleep over. Imagine eight girls sleeping on two thin mattresses. Oh how wonderful that was. By the way, I didn't get to sleep at all.

At six o'clock in the morning, we met up with Ms. Wowie and the others at Jollibee. We decided to talk commute on the way to Laguna. We got there around 9:00. When we got there, we simply forgot about what happened the past few days.

I was really glad Ms. Wowie was there. At least, I got to laugh and laugh and laugh. The others took a dip in the pool. I was in our room, getting some much needed rest. That sleep lasted about 40 minutes.

And that was our "team building." In fairness, we really got to bond with the others. In a way, I was happy then.

Now it's time to go back to the real world.

Good Day for Blogging.

Lately, I've been having good days. I don't really know why but certain things are just making me so happy, I feel like everything's perfect.

I saw my friend today. Yup, you know who I'm talking about. Him. Hehehe. For two solid hours, he and I were hanging out and I just felt so happy. Crazy me...I couldn't stop smiling. All the time, I was smiling and laughing and smiling -- oh how I loved feeling that way...again. I missed feeling this way. I'm glad that I'm experiencing it all over again.

It's such a wonderful surprise when a certain someone makes you feel that way. Look, wait a minute! Before you go jumping to conclusions, may I point out that I am not, I repeat, NOT in love with anyone right now. The truth is, I'm crushing on someone. That's all there is to it. No more, no less.

Well, I guess that's all I have to say for now.

I'll be back as soon as I can.

Ciao!

Can't Stop Smiling.

I actually missed this. You know...the part where I just couldn't stop myself from smiling. It's one of those days that I'm really, truly happy. It's surprising that the reason why I'm smiling, why I'm happy is because of a simple message from a certain someone.

You see, it's his birthday today so I decided to text him a "happy birthday." His reply...well, it goes something like this...

"Tnx margie! Hahaha.. Having u n my life dis year s 1 of d greatest blesings i receivd!Ü"

All it took was one simple message and I have this smile since the moment I got it. It's such a wonderful feeling to know how someone cherishes you. I know that my friend and I are not exactly the closest of friends. Heck! All we have right now is just plain friendship. Yes, I admit that I like him but you know...it's not as if I'm in love with him. I mean, I don't know him that much to actually say I've fallen head over heels the guy.

The thing is...he made me feel special and he made me feel loved.

That's the reason why I can't stop smiling.

December Begins.

Well, what do you know? It's the first day of December. Only twenty four days left before Christmas. Wow! Who'd have thought that time flies by so fast that it's almost the end of yet another year.

*Sigh* A lot of things are going to happen this month. I mean, apart from the Christmas season, that
is. On Sunday, December 3rd, St. Scholastica's College, Manila turns 100. My goodness...I'll be going to Ninoy Aquino Stadium by 7:30 in the morning, in my school uniform, to attend the Mass for All. I'm kind of sad because on Sunday, the family is supposed to go to my Lola's house in Parañaque for our monthly family gatherings. But since this Mass for All is a requirement for all students, I have no choice but to go there. Good thing, there won't be any classes on Monday since we'll all be there the day before.

I have a very long weekend, you see. It started yesterday and it will end on Tuesday. Nice, huh? Even if Malacañang didn't suspend the classes, I still don't have school on that day. Remember? I don't have classes every Tuesday and Thursday? Anyway, today, we don't have classes too because it's a holiday (Bonifacio day, that is). Tomorrow...no classes. Sir Boogie said we don't have to meet tomorrow (Good news for us!). Sunday, we'll go to school but we don't have to stay all day all night. Monday, no classes because it's a rest day for everyone at St. Scho. Tuesday, well, you know. Hehehe...that's my 6-day weekend.

But hey! Hold on. Even though I don't have to go to school during these days, that doesn't mean I won't. I need to go there for library use. I need to do a lot of research and stuff. A lot of studying is necessary for my majors. So, there you go.

It's really going to be a very busy week. Anyway, I have to go now.

Catch you later.
