You Are Totally Like Your Mom

You and your mom are practically clones. You think alike, and you even seem to read each other's minds. You're definitely you're mother's child... and that's just fine with you.

Are You Like Your Mom?

You Are A Woman!

Congratulations, you've made it to adulthood. You're emotionally mature, responsible, and unlikely to act out. You accept that life is hard - and do your best to keep things upbeat. This makes you the perfect girlfriend... or even wife!

Are You A Girl Or a Woman?

You Are Chocolate Chip Ice Cream

You are kind, popular, and generous. You tend to be successful at anything you try. A social butterfly, you are great at entertaining a crowd. You are most compatible with strawberry ice cream.

What Flavor Ice Cream Are You?

You Will Be a Cool Parent

You seem to naturally know a lot about parenting, and you know what kids need. You can tell when it's time to let kids off the hook, and when it's time to lay down the law. While your parenting is modern and hip, it's not over the top. You know that there's nothing cool about a parent who acts like a teenager... or a drill sergeant!

Would You Be a Cool Parent?

Heal my heart and make it clean
Open up my eyes to the things unseen
Show me how to love like You
Have loved me
Break my heart for what breaks Yours
Everything i have for Your Kingdom's cause
As i walk from here into eternity

Forgot to add this to the "unforgettable/memorable experiences in philippines". Couldn't recall all that time when i was typing the post, and internet at home was down for a week thus was't able to edit.

- (Raj will kill me when he reads this but i'll take my chances =) im the big sis after all)
The night (middle of the night, probably the wee hours of morning) when Raj woke the whole household with his shouts. "AHHHHHHHHHHHHH... AHHHHHHHHHHH". And for those who know him, yeah, his voice isn't exactly always soft/gentle but strong and boomin' loud when he shouts. Well, he had leg cramps. Lola, tita janet, tito danny and lolo came into the room, mum was sitting up on the bed and all of them were looking at him, heard mum's "what happened?". Guess they were wondering what's happening because he didn't explain, and since no one was doing anything, that's when he went "HELP ME. SOMEBODY HELP ME!!!!!!!" (so drama isn't it? apparently, he couldn't remember shouting "help me" when i teased him in the morning and he explained that he could have said that because usually when he has leg cramps, dad knows what to do, but this time no one did anything). His shouts were so loud! Forgot to ask Benjie (neighbour) if he was woken up by a guy shouting in the middle of the night.

- The time when i made a bus wait for me so that i can go to the toilet. We were on the way back to Banate from the city and it was only halfway through the journey when i needed to pee, was trying hard to control but couldn't tahan la, the nice conductor stopped the bus opposite the public toilet. Felt so embarrased when i went back into the bus, dared not have eye contact with the rest of the passengers. Mum said that it was a good thing i told her earlier because that was the only public toilet, and i would need to pee by the roadside if/when we past that town. *thank God*

unforgettable/favourite moments in philippines.

- The time when we (Tito Nonong,ma,lola,janan,harjane,harjan,amiel,melasel,joy,raj and myself) got stranded in the highway waiting for another uncle. Spent most of the time taking pictures. This was also the time when i "saw" Amiel and Harjan peeing at the side of the roads. Of course their backs were facing us. Its culture there for guys to relieve themselves anywhere they want. But it was awkward when i knew/"saw" my two cousins doing it.
And this one cannot be forgotten because all of us, together with our loads of bags were squeezing (Amiel and Harjan had to sit on the roof/hang on to the tricycle) on Tito's tricycle. We were so heavy that Tito had to stand most of the time just to speed up. How can i not forget the part where we were going up the hill - incredibly sloooowwwww, that the man walking downwards looked at us and laughed.

-Swimming and karaoke at the beach.

-The starfishes! Banate is a beach area, and from Lola's house we can walk to the beach. The younger cousins were swimming, found the starfishes and brought it out to us (they wanted to keep it as pets). They were huge and beautiful. And i got to see it kinda drying up,but since we're not sadists, me and jane put it back into the water.

-Got to talk to an old friend of mine, tho' the conversations were short and few, i still got to talk to him.

-Medical missions at Salem Sanctuary in Dumangas!Got the chance to help out, there were already 3 nurses checking the blood pressure etc of the villagers, so i helped in giving out the medicines based on the prescriptions written by the doctors. Sat down beside the pharmacist (he came to Singapore last year, Dad introduced us, but can't remember his name) and chatted with him inbetween giving the medicines. Free services were general checkups done by two lady doctors ("doctora") and dental Services done by a dentist and dental nurses. All the medicines are free too. Given out just like that.
=)

-Watching movies with the family. Mum brought our old DVD player there, and Tito Tinki kept borrowing DVDs for us. Every evening/night we'd have this extended family movie-time. Sometimes even the neighbours come and watch too.

-Slacking with the cousins. Jane would take out the guitar, play it and we'll all just sing.

-Evenings at the fair in Banate. They only had 4 rides, the rest were gambling stations. The best ride was the Octopus - you get into carraiges, sit in pairs, you spin and spin and spin incredibly fast. So the machine is spinning all the carriages in one direction with the individual carriages spinning too, and it gets faster and faster. At certain moments i felt like my head was going to fly off from my neck.
How can i forget the way Jane screamed, her's was the only voice you can hear, through out the whole ride till they actually stopped the ride halfway to see if she was okay and if she wanted to get down. =) During the ride i glanced at Raj and Harjan who was at the next carriage, and Jan looked really uncomfortable but in a cute/funny way. I like the way my aunt put it "His face couldn't be drawn". And how my spunky cousin Amiel, whom, according to Raj, was smsing during the whole ride.
Another favourite ride among us older ones was the ghost train - had good laughs instead of terrified screams.

-Ahhh.. bike lessons!

-Watching Jenjen in amusement as she snaps photos away with my phone (she made me her model, holding teacups/vitamins etc)

-It was cute the way the younger ones tried to communicate to us in english.

-Carrying my baby cousin (the cute one with the big eyes)

the bro and sis looks dumb in the first picture. came across that old photo of me and jane when we were babies with mum.

that's me and tito tinki, my bike teacher. and that's the huge bike i practice on.
