Material Wishlist ☺

Birthday Birthday Birthday.. Every year it Happens, but for me it's different This Year. MY 18th BIRTHDAY. Haha! Well Anyways, they always ask me what do I want for my birthday, and it's the question that I do find hard to answer. I do have some stuff on my mind that I do want to have, but I know, haha, it's expensive stuff, so yeah.

THIS I WANT THE MOST.

And Just Lots of Shoes!!!

So, to the Kindest persons who'd give me these, I LOVE YOU with all my  ♡.

Birthday .. Finals.. STRESS ☹

Yes, you may not believe it, but I am really turning 18 soon.. and It's making me UGHHHHH!!! Mixed emotions, but STRESS is the only thing that is constant right now. Been doing a LOT of things lately. My party will be on the 17th ('cause my Birthday is on a Wednesday). Then, Final exams are up also. I was so pissed knowing that our school had to move our exam week because we had a long weekend a few weeks ago. 17 should have been our last day but they moved it to the 24th. I am really stressed right now. I have a lot of thing going up on my mind. I don't have a healthy lifestyle, my course is the main factor, No sleep, No eat and a Lot of pressure and stress. The good thing is that I Love what I do in our course, but still my health suffers.


Just a few days left, my party is up. Still have a lot of things to fix and arrange. And My mother's not here, so it's so hard for me to do it! I Miss her already. Despite the times that we do have arguments, She's still the best. She's the reason why my party plans are happening as I planned it to be..


After all these things, YFC camp is next.. Another stressful task but the good thing is that I won't have to do it alone. I do have a lot of plans for this vacation, and I do wish that I'd be able to do it. Will make my 18th year very different. After the 24th, I will HIBERNATE for atleast 3 days, ALL SLEEP & EAT, Nothing else. But ofcourse, I'd still choose to be with my Hun, he keeps me going everyday. He's my Energy Booster. :)


How excited I am for the Vacation!! Just a few more Days left, and I'll feel lighter than ever!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ZACH: Cheers to Childhood

Being a kid is what I do best, I think? :)

YES. I am still a kid, and my size does really contribute a lot. Many don't know how old am I, and they've been guessing all wrong. HAHA. Which makes it so much Fun. I don't know why do I always act like a kid, or maybe it's just that I don't take stuff too seriously unless it really needs to be taken up that way. I love to laugh, giggle and have heartburn because of my laughing. Laughing for me is like breathing, and I know, It's abnormal. :) Anyways, Earlier we celebrated Zach's Birthday Party @Jollibee, The Fort. HAHA. It was an adventure for me, really. I came from school, was not able to attend my 6-9 Art History Class, and went to The fort with no idea on how to go there. I was thankful that I knew how to ride the MRT. (YES, I Don't know how to use that transportation. I grew up only here in the wonderful town called Fairview with no Idea of the Outside world) So yeah. Thanks to my X who's name shall never be posted or said anywhere (YES. I AM HURT, HAHA! 4 Months and counting?) LOL. I already new which station to go to 'cause I went to Glorietta with HIM and his Sister to help them find stuff for their prom, well BOOHOOOO. After everything I've done, Sucks that I'm the one who was left Crying and Dying inside. WELL ANYWHOOOO. There, Went to Ayala all alone, Wished someone had accompanied me going there, listening to Paramore in my Mp4 memorizing the Lyrics for our Jam session next week. There I already got to Ayala station, I remembered where my uncle used to lived and there, my father picked me up and together we went to Jollibee the Fort.

The Party was nice, not so many people were there. Funny, the host keeps on telling that she needs tissue because of nosebleed. Well yeah, I experience that, A LOT. Haha! She had a hard time speaking though. Anyways, the food was great. Can't remember the last time I ate at Jollibee. I HAVE NO SOCIAL LIFE ANYMORE. Damn Plates, keeping me busy. :| IT'S HARD BEING A FINE ARTS STUDENT. Haha. So yeah, I really missed the Food. And there were games too. Jay, Ate Cha's Boyfriend, was there. He also Joined with Tito Chito, Roz, Kuya Miguel, Kuya Niko and Kuya Kit. (Somewhat broke my heart, Memories when HE used to come to our family events & Outings like this and whatsoever. WELL, LIFE) Zac was very energetic, as always, and he did his famous dance, throwing his hands in the air and shaking his knees in and out. LOL, he really is hyperactive. Also, Jollibee was there. He made cheek-to-cheek kisses with Mama Bon more than 10 times I think, acting like he likes her. HAHAHA! LOL Moments was that Kuya Miguel Lost the game and sang Happy Birthday using the sound of the dog, so yeah, imagine that! HAHA, and I wouldn't forget the best part of the night, Jollibee bumped into the glass door real hard, I dont know why, But it just happened.

The night was great, and yes I loved it. Another night spent with the family. It was just then, when I was left hurt by him that I've realized that my family is the one who's gonna make me happy. And yes, my cousins, even though they really have a lot of crazy in them, I love them so much. THANKS ZACHARY for the night! HAPPY BIRTHDAY, hope you'll have a Great One! Love You! :)

LEGAL. YES!

Yes, You're Eyes are not fooling you. HAHA! I am already a legal driver! BOOHOO. Cheers to that Dears. Hahaha. Well, anyways, Just got it yesterday but took it last wednesday. LTO's Printing Machine didn;t work so we had to wait. Anyways, Im so proud! HAHA!

The day was so tiring. Going to LTO Tayuman Branch directly from class was tiring. AS IN! After a long session of Photography Class Under the hot sun, I was really exhausted. And taking the exam without any review was so brain damaging. Too bad for Kiko, who wasn't able to get a license 'cause of his age, waited for a very long time for us. I just hated the part where he was blaming me for not having a license, FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT. -_________-

Well anyways, I was happy that day. Mama also bought me a purple coca-cola Glass from mcdo, and it was Love. :"> I AM A HAPPY&&LEGAL DRIVER. Call me a driver, kasi ako na talaga official utusan ng Pamilya, Pasundo dito, pahatid doon. GRRRR! Sakit sa ulo. Next up, Buying a Car. :"> HOPES UP!

In times of Test, Family is the Best

070711, Tivoli Gardens' Sky Lounge. A night that I will never ever forget. A night that I'll always keep.

This is our biglaang Family reunion, planned not so long ago. I can still remember our planning session during our mini reunion at Camiguin Island with Kuya Miguel all drunk. They asked me, well I don't know, If I could help the 3rd four to accomplish the task given to arrange this reunion before the wedding to welcome Roz to the Family. So yes, I was already part of the 3rd Five, and they really welcomed me with a lot of tasks to do. The usual, every reunion we have our reunion shirts, and YES, You know what it is. After the day that I've said "YES" to the people involved that I'd be the  one to do the shirts is the Day I said Goodbye to my life and Hello to sleepless nights. Having a Lot of plates to do for school is not helping me with the situation. Oh, and did I mention, it was 60 shirts that I was to print? (THANK YOU MATERIALS CLASS FOR TEACHING ME HOW TO PRINT SHIRTS AND HERE I AM DYING. LOL JOKE) Really, it was a very hard task. Every time they ask me I'd just tell them I haven't done the design yet, which was half true. Luckily, One night I did a temporary design which sucked and there was ate Cha who gave me the ideas of what to do with the shirt and TADAAA! There it is. 

The concept of the PROUDLY PINOY GUERRA 2011 speaks about us, the GUERRA family, that even though we are very much far apart from one another, we still do communicate and never leave someone behind and YES, we are Proud Filipinos. 

I Just stared doing the shirts just a week or several days before the presentation. YES, I'm a good procrastinator. HAHA! Thanks to my course which really needs a lot of procrastination. And there, I was able to finish the shirts on the morning of the event itself. Thanks to the help of the blow dryer. Also, thanks to some of my sibling s and cousins who helped me. So there, Shirts done, what's next?

What's next was our AWESOME presentation to welcome Roz to the family. At first, I thought that they were bluffing about us dancing "We're All in this Together" of High School Musical, but no, it was true. Thanks to High School Experiences, I still have the steps in my mind and was able to teach them to the Ancient and Elder people. Gosh, How I miss those Sunday Practice here at our home. Tito Chito was one great instructor, REALLY. I wouldn't forget the one practice that he was teaching the others, Then he said that it was only 8 counts the suddenly, out of the blue, he counted up to 9. We didn't know where the 9th count came from! :)) I wouldn't also forget that one practice wherein there was no water available here in our home so they had to drink Tanduay Ice instead 'cause it was the only thing available for them to drink, Unlucky for me, I don't Drink. So yeah, Kuya Miguel, the usual, got tipsy and did his Krumping Moves during our practice which made everyone cry to tears. I wasn;t able to breath that time, it was so funny, seriously. Where is the video? Must find and UPLOAD! Share the Happiness, LOL. :)

During the dance, I couldn't help but notice Ate Alfa crying and laughing at the same time. She really did cry. I was shocked for she knew that we were to perform a special welcoming number for Roz. She was included in the email of Ate Cha that contained the Instructional Video of the dance. Maybe she didn't expect that the WHOLE Clan would be dancing in front of them. Oh well papel. :)

And really, I could tell that Ate Alfa was really Excited to come to this Family Night, cause she bumped into the glass door before entering the room. Well, she really was Excited, I mean,  Who wasn't?

And here, Presenting the MIGUEL MOVE. I don't know where on earth did he get this move, or I know but... ANYWAYS. :-" HAHA. This was the move that really made me cry to tears and made me experience heartburn from laughing too hard. After seeing him dancing this, everything changed. And the funny but weird part was that everyone did it too. @.@ Even the Ancient people did it during the wedding, and it was not pleasing to the eyes, I SWEAR. Joke! I really should Upload the Video! I bet after seeing this, Roz wished he never went there. HAHA! JOKE!

The night was still young and we had fun and games. The best part was when Bella was to guess what the word was. It was like..

All: Think about Kit..

Bella: Is it Big?

All: (Laughing)

Roz: Maybe? No?

Bella: Is it a Body Part?

All: (LOL'ing so hard)

Roz: (Doesn't Know what to say anymore)

Kuya Kit's Face was like @.@ Already..

Another was Jay, Ate Cha's Boyfriend, who also works at Jollibee..

Jay: Burger?

All: Yes

Jay: Chowking

All: No!

Okay? Haha. It was obvious that everyone was already SABAW..

After having some fun and Games, as usual, we ended the night with a LOT of picture taking. YES, A LOT. I don't know why but we Guerras do take our Picture taking Seriously, especially our Wacky pictures.

This is one of the best photos of the night, the Guerra Brothers & Sisters, Our Parents. Missing in Action, Tito Butch, Tita Iyen & Tita Didiw. Every time they do their wacky shot, they always lift their feet up. Well, they say it's an indicator of who's the oldest, whoever lifts his/her foot the lowest is the one. Well, It's their pose, HAHA! We just love seeing them do it! 

It's another moment of them being all together again after having different schedules because of their work, and it really is one of the happiest photos that I've seen of them.

Did I mention that we are a BIG family? Haha. Here we are, I don't know how many are we, the GUERRA COUSINS, with nephews Pipe, Zach and Djo, foster & now cousin Valerie and Soon to be (?) Cousins, Bella & Jay. Missing in Action: Kuya Jeg, Mae, Issa, Hannah, Ate Kim (who followed at the wedding), Nikki, Christian, Kuya Ian, Ate Moe, Janna and Ate Trin. Too bad they've missed so much Fun and Laughter, but still, we love them so much!

It's Fun seeing us all together again, even though we were not complete, it was still the best!

I LOVE MY COUSINS FOREVER! :')

Also, another segment of the night was to announce the winners of the Biggest Loser Guerra Edition. While Calculating the results we were laughing 'cause during the weighing, Papa Nonoy was making Mama Bon & Kuya Kit's Weight Heavier. LOL, But anyways, it was not counted. The results were very shocking! 

Weight closest to Size (?) I CANT REMEMBER WHAT WAS IT! UGH!

3rd: Ate Annamae

2nd: Ate Kathlyn

1st: Kuya JB

(All Cajitas. Mama Belle & Papa Mart's Strategy of Letting us eat a lot during our stay in Cagayan was Helpful. LECHON! =p~ YUM!)

Biggest Loser (Weight)

3rd: Ate Cha

2nd: Tita Baby

And Yes, The winner of the Guerra Edition 2011 Biggest Loser was Tita Mercy, And Look how surprised she was. LOL! It really was a shocking Night for her knowing that she was the one who wanted to concede already. :))

The Night was one of the best nights in my entire life. I am really happy that we had this reunion not only to welcome Roz to the Guerra Family, but also to have time with our Family again. I was really looking forward to this night, and didn't expect that it would be that great. I know, being part of the 3rd five is a great honor. We would also be remembered for putting this of. Making the shirts was tough, I know. But all the perspiration, hardships and sleepless nights was nothing, not even a bit, of the happiness that I've gained this night.

Here I am, PROUD to say that I am a GUERRA.

I am A PROUD PINOY GUERRA

and It will always be that way. :)

Run For Pasig River 2k11

Me, problematic about the things I've lost L

This is the first time That I have joined an event like this, as a part of beating a record. I didn't get the chance to be part of the Human rosary and Cross, so I did my best to be part of this one. I was really excited. All through out the run, I think I did more walking and jogging than running. There were too many people. I really was tired after. I was glad to finish that 5k route but something really unlucky happened to me. I lost my small pouch during the run, which contained my money, regform, attendance stub and my license. I placed it inside my bag along with my cellphone, but when we reached MOA, when i checked my bag, it was gone and my bestfriend saw that my bag was open already. I don't know why my pouch was the one that got lost, not my cellphone. I can't explain my emotions that time, I was scared because my license was gone, I was really hungry but I didn't have money and I was really tired. Good thing, the Blockmates of my bestfriend lent me money to buy food. I've learned that time to be more careful eith my valuables. Also, About the run, I can say that even the smallest efforts can make a big difference, Imagine how many individuals joined the run and made another record to help save mother nature. Rich or Poor, Young or Old, Everyone was considered as one team helping our Pasig River.

I really did enjoyed the run despite of what had happen. I would like to join other runs and events like this. I would also ask my friends to come with me. The best way to invite them to join to is to share my experience the first time. It's great to be part of something. It feels good to know that even you just paid a small amount of fee and put a little effort into it, you can make something better. Pasig River is one of the known bodies of water that needs restoration, it's not new information to most people. The best way that I can do is influence my friends to join in such events, even just for some time. It wouldn't hurt to help save mother nature, besides, she's God's instrument to provide for us.

Being part of something like this made me feel happy, that I was able to help, not only myself but also those people of the future, that they may be the ones who would see the product of the project.

Batang Kalabaw

This documentary film made me very emotional. Just from the very start of the film, I already feel sad for what I have seen. I am a child lover, I easily get attached to children especially those of the young ones. After seeing this film, I became teary-eyed. I can’t stop getting hurt of what I am seeing. I can’t even imagine how hard it was for the children to be working in such an early age. When I was in that age, I did nothing more than playing and studying. It breaks my heart that knowing some of them were really young yet they are already doing the work of the old ones. Each and every moment that I see them being hurt in the film, because of the wood they carry from the mountain, I don’t know how I would react, I don’t know who to blame or who to get mad to because there are just so many factors that caused this scenario. As a teenager, I already find it hard to do the kind of work that they were doing, what more if I was as young as them? I also became very sad for the Oldest of the 5 siblings, Cherrylyn.  I really salute her. In my Family, I am also the oldest, and I have 5 other siblings. I do have a lot of responsibilities, but I fail to do it sometimes. She inspired me to be better. I really idolize her, despite of what her parents have become; she finds the strength of still making her siblings her first priority.

A child has the right to be a child; being able to play, study, have a good life and be treated with care and responsibility. Childhood is the age wherein they could just goof around and be themselves and not worry about anything, but in their side, they couldn’t even have a nice meal or play with toys or do what children used to do. After the long day of their labor, they don’t even know if they would even get salary. It was just so heartbreaking that their salary is based on the buyer. Imagine the pain they feel that after the tiring hike from the mountain, the wounds they acquired during work and the effort they put to just to carry that very heavy piece of wood, the wood they brought was a reject and they wouldn’t get paid for it even just one peso for their effort. I can’t imagine how painful is it for them knowing that they did work for nothing.

Each person has a responsibility towards the children. I know that each and every person should treat children how they should be treated. They should be taken care of; to be fed, to be bathed, to be educated. They should not be abused for their innocence. I myself, a panganay to my 5 other siblings, do my best to do my responsibilities. As a Thomasian NSTP student, what I can do is apply the things I’ve learned in my everyday life and share it to others in order to create a child friendly society. I would apply it to my other activities like Youth for Christ; I’d suggest more outreach programs and child-related activities.

A child is human, we are human, but are we humane? Each and every individual has his/her own rights. It’s just as simple as a short statement, “Do not do to others what you don’t want others to do unto you”. Treat each and every person as yourself. It is important to protect each and every one’s right, especially of those who are young and innocent because they don’t even know their rights yet and even though they know it, they couldn’t fight for it. It’s our job to do the things they still couldn’t do. As a Thomasian NTSP student, I would be part of protecting the rights of each and every child by first starting in our won home; I would practice the responsibilities through my siblings, and then help those in the community through outreach programs and also reporting to Bantay Bata in some instances.

It is very heartwarming to hear the laughter of the children, the high-toned voices enjoying the things they do. I would do my best to put a smile to their faces because the smile of a child can do so many things. J
