30 Day Blog Challenge: Day 1-

Day 1- Introduction. Recent picture of yourself. 15 interesting facts. 

I have read good reviews about this 30 day blog challenge and I was really curious on how I would end up after 30 days (If I can finish it! Hah!) But seriously, I really wanted to write and write, to enhance my skills, to hone my talent, to blog about myself without sounding and acting too conceited... But I have too little time or I'm just always not in the mood. When I read about this blog challenge, I wondered if I could step up to the challenge, test my limits by trying, knowing how lazy I am when it comes to writing specifically blogging.

Now, I am taking this challenge and hopefully after 30 days I've written something worth reading and my readers (if there ever are any) will learn something from me and get to know me a little bit more.

Recent Picture.

JCCF Christmas Party 21-12-12

This photo was taken last December 21, 2012. Apparently, the world was supposed to end and I'm so glad it didn't! This shot is really close to my heart for one reason: it shows how happy, blessed, and fulfilled I am for this year. My year didn't start right, but it ended or rather will end with a BANG! :) Thank You Lord!

15 Interesting Facts. 

This is rather challenging. I'll try to think of 15 interesting facts about myself, I'm not sure if it is really interesting, pero blog ko to so walang pakialaman. Hehe! 

1. I bleed caffeine. I literally bleed caffeine. I am a coffee-lover and I love hanging out in cafes all by myself or with friends depending on my mood. 

2. I am a sucker for chick flicks. Movies that will capture the most raw of all emotions. I am the type of person who will cry and laugh at the same time, yung feeling na "nakakarelate ako!" at yung feeling na "sana ako nalang yung bida".. Ganung feeling! Haha! 

3. Passion is worship. I love to sing and I love to sing for God. I know that my talent came from Him that's why I am trying my best to use my voice for His glory. 

4. I breathe Music. I am not the TV person, I'd rather listen to music all day and not get bored instead of watching TV series and the like. Kaya kong mabuhay ng may nakasaksak na earphones at nakikinig lang, masaya na ko. 

5. Jeddahn citizen. I live and grew up most of my adolescent years in Jeddah, KSA. I never had a normal childhood, since Jeddah is not the most free country in the world. Now I'm back, working and I remember myself saying that I will never go back to Jeddah but then I realized I was wrong.

6. Extrovert. People who know me will agree that I love hanging out with people. My boyfriend always calls me 'Ms. Gala' kasi mahilig nga daw akong gumala. Hindi ko rin alam, but I am blessed with good friends. We can never have enough friends in a lifetime. Extrovert as I am, hindi naman ako yung tipong papansin na. But I think I am approachable and nice in my own right. Hehe! 

7. Committed. Commitment is an important key to a successful relationship. You can't say you love someone and not be committed to that person. I am proud to say that when I love, my commitment, trust and loyalty to that person is in tact.

8. I have a bad sense of direction. have you ever met someone who claims to be a driver but has no sense of direction at all?? Well, that will be me. Dalhin mo ko sa isang lugar at siguradong mawawala ako. I have a short term memory (amnesia girl lang? Hehe) and I tend to forget the places I've been to kaya di ako pwedeng magdrive magisa kasi mawawala ako. I have this one specific instance that scared the hell out of me but I won't go to details nalang. But yeah, I drive but I need a co-pilot with me. Hehe!

9. Emoterang frog. Madami akong angst sa buhay. Iyakin at matampuhin. My boyfriend will attest to this mood swings of mine and I may say, he can handle me at my worst and I love him for that. :)

10. Bookworm. Reading will always be my hiding place. My safe haven. My comfort zone. When I have time, I try my best to read atleast one book. To finish it or at least kahit maumpisahan ko lang. I wish I have more idle time to do this, but work keeps me from reading and sometimes I miss the feeling of being young and carefree when you can just do anything and everything under the sun. :(

11. OFW. Yes, I am a certified OFW and proud. Hindi lahat ng tao alam ang hirap ng malayo sa mga mahal sa buhay, kaya kapag OFW ka, Bayani ka! Katatapos lang ng Pasko at tunay ngang ang hirap magpasko ng mag-isa. I miss home, I miss my family and I wish I was with them during this holiday season. But God is reminding me tht everyday should be Christmas. Kaya mahirap man malayo sa mga mahal sa buhay, I am still thankful kasi I have thr opportunity to share my blessings.

12. I am sloooooooow. Try to crack a joke and find me laughing after everyone stopped laughing. Ganyan kaslow ang processor ng utak ko. Aminado akong d ako magandang kausap sa joke time kasi minsan di ko magets ung meaning nung joke. Haha! Friends would always ask me kung nagets ko ba kasi minsan tumatawa ako tapos di ko pala nagets, and we will end up laughing even harder. Ahhh, good times. :)

13. I am a family person. I love my family and I am so blessed to have them in my life. They are my source of strength and my source of joy. Friends, acquaintances, workmates, people in our life may leave us but not family. They are irreplaceable.

13. DLSU and proud. I love my alma matter. Hindi ako masyadong ganung kavocal about my college alma matter but studying in DLSU will always be special for me. I know that sometimes I feel that I made the wrong decision, but when I chose to study at DLSU, I started to make my own decisions. My parents wanted me to become like them at one point (medical), but I thank them for allowing me to spread my wings and try a different direction. Plus, my boyfriend, though we never met during my college days, studied in La Salle and took the same course (Masters) as I did, for me that was destiny. It was a very small world and I'm glad our paths crossed. Salamat, DLSU.

14. I enjoy ME times. Some people can't stand being alone. I, for one, can live a day without anyone by my side. I enjoy being alone as much as I enjoy hanging out with the rest of the world. Being alone only shows that you are strong enough to see the world on your own perspective, that sometimes you need to take a break from all the stress, talk to God, write on your journal, read a good book, enjoy window shopping, do groceries, and eat at your favorite restaurant. It's all about having the right disposition.

15. I believe in FOREVER. I believe in US. I love my boyfriend and even if were miles apart, I know that I will still be inlove with him no matter what. It's the kind of love that does not require anything but rather, just him telling you he loves you keeps you sane and alive. Haha! He makes me happy and he makes me want to be the better me. I can never thank God enough for giving him to me and I am hopeful that this will last for a lifetime. I love you babe! :)

There. Day 1, done. :)
