Happy Easter, Everybody!!!

Sunday Easter time!!!

What a delightful long week!!!

I spent mine visiting my mother's hometown in Cabiao, Nueva Ecija, and had a quaint time with old friends and sweet, endearing relatives.

Although only for a night and two days, I thought I had a pretty great Mahal Na Araw (Holy Week) experience all in all.

Today is no exception and in fact, the best part of it all! It is the resurrection of Christ and I am reminded of God's generosity and His ever-constant presence.

Tomorrow, as I've found out, is still an extension of the Filipino holiday-- it is the Araw ng Kagitingan, and lucky for us, our holidays are extended for 24 hours more!!!

I am actually itching to get back on track with the 'regular days', since I've other errands to attend to, but these holidays (as according to their nature) happen so seldom, I rather enjoy it until the last moment.

So far, I've bonded with my parents and older brother and actually stayed together literally in the house the entire Friday.

Last Saturday night, we went out and saw the Wrath of the Titans and I enjoyed it, contrary to the bad reviews I've heard!

It's a good thing my dad still convinced us to watch the film despite some of the reviews, and I'm glad I went ahead to see it for myself.

For those who are still interested, go ahead and watch. I quite enjoyed the humor inserted every now and then in the film, something I didn't expect. The action was 'adequate' and to expound it is not my cup of tea for now, at least not in this entry.

But I enjoyed it, and that in itself is my general comment.

So for the rest of the remaining hours of the long week (not just weekend!), have a blessed great time with your loved ones! Grab the opportunities and make more happy memories as ever possible!

Summer Lovin!

We're going to the U.S.!!!

This May, instead of pursuing Europe, my mother and I are visiting her sisters in California, San Francisco!!!

It's been around, more or less, 10 years since I've last set foot in America, and I have to admit, I'm feeling really excited about this.

The thing is, I still don't know what we'll be doing once we get there, but I am looking forward to updating my online sites live in the U.S. via Internet! (Okay, that didn't really...)

On to other news;

Recently, I have changed my permed hair into a rebonded one, and these are the before and after shots:

BEFORE:

After 10 months of glorious curly hair, I have decided to shift back to the old straight days and realized, how much I've missed it.

Who knows, maybe after some time I'll play with the curls again. Apparently, I could work it well both ways. It makes me happy though that a lot of friends would take sides and persist on a particular hairstyle, and it just makes me glad that they gave value to my crowning glory.

As March closed in and April started happening, I'm more than giddy to find out what will become of me by June, let alone our travels by May.

I remember telling my closest friends that Summers have always been a pivotal point in my life.

How choices during this season affect the entire course of my life throughout the year.

2012 is no different from this forecast. And I constantly worry about the decisions I usually make, leaving little room to enjoyment.

Maybe that's the reason why I obliged myself to keep an online journal; just to keep watch over myself, even if I don't have any readers or 'viewers' (although checking the Stats of my blogger is so much fun!).

I'm determined enough to work on with what I have, and what I could still take and make for myself.

I wish I could say more of private things about myself online, but that is a whooping leap of a risk in all directions.

Nevertheless, this is my blog, my domain of sharing. I hope by midyear and the last quarter, my stats would not only increase, but my updates would contain of more 'fun' and thoughtful things that people could relate to.
