2011 -> 2012

Finally bid goodbye to 2011 say hello to 2012, but konting emote muna as I look back to what the past year has been for me. 


Life changes..
That's my 2011, daming shifts ang naganap sa life ko. Ang daming highlights.


Since the 1st quarter of the year e isa pa akong butihing estudyante. Kasama sa highlights ang major school events that could prove na may natutunana talaga ko sa  4 years of studying ko haha =)
Super busy ng last few months ko as a student, at the same time busy din with all the bondings and gala since my blockmates and I will be parting ways na :( Unforgettable din ang  graduation rush, yung feeling na, gagraduate ka na lang at lahat namomroblema ka pa with all the requirements and chuvaness.
And the big day came - Graduation day! Exciting at the same time may worries na kasama. Exciting kasi this is the fruit of all my hard work but I can't help but be worried as to what's the next move for me. I'll be facing the real world, but will it be nice to me or will scare me to death? But hey! my dreams are bigger than my fears, kaya keri pa din. Optimism lang.


Job Hunting. There's a lot of job opportunities out there, but landing to the job that you really want, it's kinda difficult especially sa mga kagaya ko na ang field of study e hindi naman talaga yung interest nila. But no more bitterness on that part. If it's for me, mapapasakin talaga yan so for now, I'm just trusting Him and His plans for me. So bottomline is, this year nafeel ko kung gaano kahirap maghanap ng trabaho. Qualifying exams, interviews for the nth time na in the end e tatawagan ka na lang for the result or next process. Whew! I just hate the feeling na napepressure ako just because bum pa din ako.


Naging mahirap man ang job hunting, the sweetest part is naging officially employed pa din naman ako. The feeling was odd, palibhasa eto yung matatawag ko talagang 'first job'. Very overwhelming yung feeling that I'm earning and spending money na hindi galing sa salary ng parents ko. And mas nakakatuwa na nakakatulong na din ako sa family ko. 


Ang daming adjustments for this year. 
So many things that I should get used to, and so many things that I really miss to do.
Thankful for my new found friends but longing for my old ones.  


Sad endings yet sweet beginnings. But as my fave french phrase goes, 'c'est la vie' we should move forward, coz that's how it really is. It's painful leaving some things behind but exciting for new journey to conquer.
I just can't wait for more life changing events.

2012, let's be friends okay? *wink






Thank you 2011 for a wonderful year. 

My December

My busiest December ever. The feeling was odd. Siguro not being  a student anymore, is somehow new to me. Last year, during this month excited ako for the Christmas Vacation. I never felt like this is such a busy month, in fact a great time for relaxation. But not anymore, dahil I am working na, so late na makakauwi plus extra activities like christmas presentations being a newbie sa company. Pagod man at puro eyebags, there's still tons of things to be thankful for, all the blessings and joy that God gave me and the people that I love as well. 

And also, December made me a a year older.. hihi =)

much love,

It's crazy how time flies. Grabe ang bilis talaga. Parang kailan lang, nagbebenefit pa ako sa fare discount. Living and enjoying the student life. Professors, quizzes, recitations, the crowded corridors, campus crushes, student meals and even my school uniform though I didn't like it much and rarely wore it. haha. Now I'm totally missing all of these. How I wish I could turn back time that's why I just thought of having this post to be filled by memories of my college days.

I love staring at the sky as I walk in the morning. I think I am getting my energy from it. Basta, I'm not being sentimental or what, but I just love the sight of it. Everyday, ganyan ang ginagawa ko while heading to our building. 

Our Sintang Paaralan, became my haven for four years. A place where I always feel welcome, though I really am ( I just need my ID or RegiCard, haha ) Kaya nga kahit wala daw kaming klase e go pa din ako sa Peyups. haha. That's how I love our school or my allowance actually. haha

Me and Fat, the campus models! haha :D
we've been friends since high school and to our surprise, even College!
but it's really awesome :D

But I know that more than the campus itself, it's the people that I really look forward to everyday. My super fun classmates. We're in a block section that's why we've been stuck with each other for four productive years. Yep, and I love the fact that I met them when we are just starting off our college life, when I am still at   my point of confusion and starting to conclude if this is what I really want, though I know it's not. But being with them made it a lot easier for me to love the business field and made it harder for me to leave. I know that I got afraid of starting over again, but geez looking back at my memory lane with them, no regrets dude.

aww.. mga totoy at nene (or mga nene lang) haha,
ang payat ko pa dito :x

The girls of Kabog posing at the PUP Caltex
ala Bb. Pilipinas lang

KABOG - that's what we named our section. 

Bog Kabog ka ka Kabog Kabog!

That's our cheer everytime may mga school activities like college week parade at kung anek anek pa. From being playful freshies up to being competitive seniors, what remains the same is that we never fail to have fun and add some humor to whatever we are doing.

Nakakamiss sobra ang chikahan moments ng mga girls.
I miss their laughs and giggles, pati mga asaran
everytime dadaan ang mga crushes.. haha

The Trio Tagapayo, Fatima, Clark and Me :D Mga best buddies.

Never a day with them na hindi ako tumawa, bonggels talaga ng combination naming 

tatlo. No dull moments, I love how we make fun of each other, yung tipong akala ng 

iba, were seriously fighting na, pero choz lang samin. That's how we are lang talaga. 

 

I hope we could still spend time together, have some good laugh 

and good FOOD! For sure, okay na kami dun!

We are the Over haul girls! Ang cute namin diba?

We wore this for our seminar, and we are so proud!

We are OVER HAULed!

They were, too --->

Ang sarap ng feeling maging busy sa mga school activities. 

The deadline rush, mga tipong hours before submission and

were still doing revisions for our paper.

Yung pagod na pagod ka but, for some reason you're still happy 

and kicking. haha I think it's because you're sharing it with these lovely people.

On our busy days, eto ang ice breaker, picture picture :D 

We just loveeet! 

Loads of brainstorming for our Feasibility studies,
( I had loads of pics din sana, kaso nacorrupt  yung SDcard, err) 

As the saying goes, 'Joy is found not in finishing an activity but in doing it'. Truly the 

journey was  much sweeter, rather than the destination itself. After all the years of 

hardships, laughters arguments, conflicts, sleepless nights, afterclass gala, 

foodtrips, picture taking, asaran moments and loads of bonding, now 

it's time to bear the fruit of it all. Graduation! what a bitter sweet feeling.

Bitter for the goodbye, but sweet for the Hello real world! 

 

The fun will never end, right? 
We could still do all those things, though not as 
students anymore.
To my dear classmates, let us prove them that 
we are UNKABOGABLE!

      
“It's funny how, in this journey of life, even though we may begin at different times and places, our paths cross with others so that we may share our love, compassion, observations, and hope. This is a design of God that I appreciate and cherish.”

Whew. When did I last posted on this blog? 10years ago? hahaha :D

Panu naman kasi after work all I wanted to do is lay on my bed while watching  TV shows that I'm really hooked on recently. That's why tinatamad na ko magpost on my blog. Sometimes, I'll check my FB and then- OUT! 

Well, cheers to the freaking LONG weekend! And I will have time for my pretty pink blog again. Hope i could do things as I planned. Though, it's been two days but nothing productive. Haay.. I hate myself for being stucked on bed for hours. I don't wanna be like this forever. So unhealthy. Nag-gain tuloy ako ng weight.

Sabi pa ng younger brother ko, ang chubby ko na daw, pati face ko :( 

Hello Kitty, cute as always :D

And I'm just wondering, since chubby daw ako, if only I had whiskers,                  

kamukha ko na ba sya ? -------->

hahaha.. ( I must be really weird )

much love,
Hello kitty 


(haha)

My friendships :D

Sarah, Me, Fatima, Elda & Jessica.. absent yung apat

I love hanging out with them. It's not everyday that we are able to bond like that. We are busy with our own stuffs and that is just normal. Di naman pwedeng forever magkakadikit kami e. But what mattters most is that we never forget to spend time together. Chikahan up to sawa at bonngang tawa ang usual scene namin.  It's been a while since we last saw each other pero laging parang kahapon lang magkasama kami. I think that's real friendship. I'm so excited to be with them again. I hope perfect attendance na kami. I just love to be with them :D

much love,
jessanel

Busy from now on

The last time, I was hoping na sana on my next blog entry certified employed na ko. And now.... goodbye tambay! haha employed indeed and right now enjoying the long weekend. Parang pagod na pagod ako, to think na hindi ko pa nga nagagawa kung ano yung stated sa job description ko. Still under training. I am really praying for guidance and strength to perform my job. I know it will be hard, ganun naamn talaga sa simula, diba? Honestly, kinakabahan ako with what's on the table for me. Pero di pwedeng puro ganun. I will do my best to be a great employee. And I just have to keep my faith in Him.



I can do all things, with Christ who strengthens me.


Good luck to me. I can do this.


Aja!!!     

Pretty nails.. Part two

hope I had better quality pic. para mas bonnga sana !

This is my 2nd set of nail art. Love the flower design. Though I love the first one better simply because its pink. haha.. but this is pretty anyway. Ang cute lang ng flower at the tip. This time, mas madali na ilagay. No sweat! I am an expert already! Can't wait for more gorgeous nails.. haha..

much love,

jessanel

I'm only me when i'm with you - Taylor Swift

This song perfectly reminds me of how I feel everytime I am with my friends. I am only me when I'm with them. They just brings out the side of me that others just don't see. Love them soo much..

Realizations.Decisons

As I search for jobs online, I can feel how I really wanted to work for a media company. Writers, production assistants etc.. but of course required field of study e mass comm, journalism or creative writing. Courses that I've been wanting to pursue but by the time that I was enrolling for college I'm not that strong enough to go after what I really desire for. Maybe it's a matter of confusion and worries. I'm still young and all I care about is what my parents think. I trust them a lot and I just wanna go for after what they think is better because I don't have an idea yet. But now, things have been very clear to me. I can see perfectly what I wanted to be in the future. Too sad, that it took this long for me to finally realize it. Now that I have completed my degree and starting to find a career on the same track. But I know God knows my heart desires. And I do believe that in His time it will all happen. Right now, first thing first. FIND A JOB. EARN. INVEST. If I would have a lot of money, I can take as many courses as I can. Right? So That's it for now. GOAL SET!

And what for that I am a strong believer of destiny?

If it's meant to be, it will be. It's not just the right time now.

Harder than thought

Job hunting -

           I always knew that it wasn't easy. But I just never expected it to be this hard. Of course, I do believe that I will find a job, but 'when' is the question that bugs me. I wanted it to be soon.. so soon that I won't have to suffer all the pressure that I am having right now. Sabi nga nila, madaming trabaho diyan. But I am not just looking for any job. Just for the sake of having one? na ah. I want a job that is somewhat related to my field. A job that could satisfy my need for improvement, growth and financial gain also. But I am just positive and hopeful. I do believe in His plans. He never fails. God is that great that one should not worry.
Always smile :D

Downside

It's a No. That's the verdict. Sad but true. I wont deny na depressing ito. Being declined is sad. But not to the point na naiiyak ako. At some point I am actually expecting it. I have assessed my performance kaya somehow nafeel ko na I'm not really qualified. I got over excited to think na I'm in the type of environment na gusto ko. But what I didn't realized at first is that yes I'm in the company that I want but NOT the JOB that I want. It's totally different. Kaya eto ako bum again. Gotta have work asap. At least I have an addition to my experience book.
The things that I 've done were fulfilling naman.

TRUST HIM

These are my tweets for tonight. I also posted these on my tumblr. 

Best words for what I'm going through right now. Tomorrow is a judgment day for me. The result of what I've worked for the past two weeks. Kinakabahan ako but as what these quotes convey, I just have to trust in God's plan. 

Good luck to me.

Bora Baby!

June 3, 2011 - One of my most exciting days ever! Boracay Day! Another thing, makakasakay na ko ng airplane, haha :D Really exciting part, first time ba naman eh! 

I was in so much awe sa mga nakita ko. From the view from the plane to the fascinating beauty of Boracay Island itself. Para lang akong bata as I stare at the clouds. Ganun pala yun up close, mukhang di naman soft or tingin ko lang yun? haha 

I thought I'll be nervous for my first time plane experience, pero c'mon waley! Kering keri lang! Much relaxing pa nga compared to buses or jeepneys eh!

For a 40 mins ride na may nakakalokang air turbulance pang kaganapan, everything turned out well as I waved goodbye to my airplane innocence. 

From the Kalibo Airport, nagVan kami heading to Kalibo for 2 hours. Kung hindi ka sanay sa  zigzag ride, probably mahihilo ka talaga or worst, you'll throw up. Thanks to my ever beloved province Bicol at nasanay na ako sa nakakawindang na mga zigzag roads. 

I just realized how great the trip was! I've tried all modes of transportaion; by air , land and sea :D At Caticlan, sumakay kami ng boat after that a short ride up to our destination!

Oh yeah! Ang dami pala talagang tao sa Bora! Considering na off season pa daw yun what more pag peak season? 

All sorts of people siguro nandun na. Different races, pati mga kamukha ni Barbie at Ken haha :D

Kering keri lang rumampa kahit mag-isa sa Bora. Or maybe I just have to. Kesa naman maburyo lang ako sa room at sayangin ang time na iexplore ang place na always seen on TV. 

I must say, buhay na buhay talaga ang night life sa Bora! It's like the people there never sleeps. Haha. But I did. Maybe because tired na din and the number 1 thing, I don't have buddies with me. I could imagine how fun and exciting it would be If I am with my bffs. But then, being there means a lot already. 

Upon arrival, no plans of swimming muna. So the first day, I just walked around first. Rumampa ng rumampa. Fineel ko ang beach side. Nung nagprotesta na ang mga paa ko I went back to the hotel room na and have some good night sleep.
The other day I woke up really early. Along with my room mates for picture takings. haha :D Not just a simple picture taking.. Mind you guys, haha :D Anyways, let's drop that topic. 


I love swimming. Really. I used to tell my friends nga na feeling ko mermaid ako during my past life. Haha. I know how to swim and I just love it! The view underwater as you dive and the blue sky along with the heat of the sun kapag nakafloat naman. Haay.. Ang saraap :D


We also did Island hopping! And it's aawweesoome! Super ganda lang ng view. I didn't have much picture kasi medyo maalon. Ang ganda pa naman ng position ko sa boat, salubong sa alon! Napaliguan agad ako! And the boat ride feels like roller coaster. Maalon kasi, kaya talagang grabe yung ride. Kung di matibay ang sikmura for sure you'll throw up. But I really believe it's all in the mind, keep in mind that you're not afraid and that you're enjoying for sure you really will. Kaya naman ako, enjoy lang! Seizing the moment.

Smile no. 10 sa boat ride!

 First stop ng Island Hopping - Crystal Cove
Beautiful sceneries in here. Ang gaandaa talaga. And then we entered two caves. The first one, super picture taking lang. Ang lakas ng hampas ng alon. Ang ganda ng rock formations sa loob. 
The other cave, kailangan lumusong sa tubig to get into a sort of tunnel. That's the way to reach the other side and kailangan yumuko at gumapang dahil I think 2ft lng yung taas nung tunnel. But it's all worth it as we got to the other side. Malalaking bato overlooking the vast blue beach. Super lakas din ng alon and we sat on the rock just to feel the waves striking us. Cool.

Ansaveeh ng flower na napulot ko lang?

Next stop- Snorkeling
I really looked forward to this. Gusto kong makita what lies under the deep blue sea, though I know naman na fishes, corals etc. but iba yung nawitness by your own eyes. Syempre safety first- life vest, di nako mag gagaling galingan dito! Nung nasa tubig na ko, di ako makalanagoy syempre I'm floating  but I'm all after the view under. So I too a look down and its.... WOW! It's hard to explain the view under. Fascinating. Yung fishes, corals lahat. And the fact na super lalim pala talaga ng dagat. Well, I'm out of words.. basta WINNER!!

Super solve sa snorkeling!

Next - Puca Beach
Sabi ko nga view pa lang ang ganda na. Dito naman nakakaloka lang. It's not ideal for children. Imagine ilang steps pa lang siguro hanngang chest na yung tubig. It's perfect for swimming talaga pero kahit ako medyo extra careful sa paglangoy eh, baka mamaya 6ft na pala yun, mgpanic pa ko edi lunod! kaya hinay hinay lang. Di na masyado nagswimming and we didn't stay that long also.


That day, we did team building activities. May mga games and it was reaally fun.
Naglunch at nagdinner in  bi groups. Endless picture takings, rampa and my classmate was also there so we hang out that night. The day after swimming gain, picture taking, rampa ng konti at namili ng pasalubong though nahassle na kami ni pudra dun kasi were out of time na kasi we are about to leave pero may nabili pa din naman. He bought a pearl set for my mother, boracay bracelets and T-shirts at ako naman.. isang nakakalokang pair of earrings. Haha :D I thought dahil nandun na ko marami akong mabibiling accessories but bcoz I am enjoying much ayun, tinamad na mamili. But that's okay. I promise.. Boracay- I shall return! haha :D

BORA! til' next time :D 

and you my dear white sand.. this sexy will be back. lols. 

Just wait :D

I just love the white sand!

i'm sleepy  na-_- 
pero buti naman naisipan kong tapusin ang blog na ito.
so that's it fellas!

my grad nails :P

I just love my nails for graduation.It's pink and so girly. hihi.. Akala nila nagpa nail art ako, well I just did it! Hand painted! haha chos! The truth is, salamat sa Nail Art Stickers that I bought from 168. I thought it would be hard, but since I do my own manicure and pedicure then keri lang din ito. I just love the result! I don't have to spend 200.00 bcoz the stickers cost 40.00 or buy 3 for 100.00. Can't wait to use the other two designs :D

much love,

jessaneL

Finally graduated :D yey!

I am now a certified degree holder. Yes! I just graduated 4 days ago and now looking forward for the corporate world. What's next? that question bugs me a lot. Nakakatakot but also nakakaexcite. Now I have to stop depending on my parent's salary. I have to earn my own. I'd be needing all the blessings and guidance of God. Papa God help me on this one as you always did. Thank you in advance :D

much love,

jessanel
