7.29.12 (LAMI-CDO Thanksgiving Celebration)

Special credits to Kuya Luke for the photos. Very nice, right? Oh! That's an understatement.

This event was the Lakas-Angkan Ministries CDO Thanksgiving celebration for their anniversary last July 29, 2012. I was an usherette during the event. I am an adopted member of this church since the people whom I live with in CDO are Born Again Christians. I am thankful for the opportunity to meet these people despite being a "stranger" to their sight. Hihi.To those who don't know, I am a Roman Catholic by affiliation but I am a Christian by heart. I think that's what matters MOST.  

It is just a good experience to be with these people. They are so warm. They influenced me, Ate Sybelle (my bible study leader) in most particular, of how I think about life in general and more importantly, in knowing Jesus Christ even more.

Always,
Alchang :*

P.S.

That dress I wore existed since I was second year high school. And yes, it still fits me even now that I am already 20. Haha.

7.20.12 FANGIRL FRIDAY

RYAN GABRIEL BOYCE, 15 and me, 20 :)

BING BOYCE, 16 and me, 20 :>

If we are FB friends and my twitter follower, I know you are quite annoyed of seeing these pictures all over again especially the first on the alley.  Still, I am posting it here anyway. Hihi :p


Warning: This post may have this 'word salad' tendencies. I am finding it quite hard to contain the things in my mind to words. Haha!

It was indeed a Fan girl Friday after seeing these handsome guys in person and I got the photo opportunity with them plus an autographed handbook. Yahoo! They were having a campus tour around CDO and around Misamis Oriental through the efforts of Mr. Joey Pelaez of DepEd to promote Environmental Protection among the youth. Luckily, the school where my mother is teaching was one of the schools they visited. Bing, who sang "I'm Yours" by Jason Mraz during the tour, moved down the stage and was so near me so I just... hugged him! Yes. I can't believe what came across my mind that I hugged Bing without a second thought. That was "lukso ng Pee Bee Bee Teens" that was innate in me. LOL! And take note: I was sitting beside my mother. She never had the chance to tame me anyway. And the rest of the crowd behind me were like going bananas! Hahaha :>


Ryan, by the way, for me looks like Stefan Salvatore (Vampire Diaries Character for those who don't know). I don't know if you guys saw the resemblance too. He was always one of my Big 4 bets since he gets along very well with his housemates very and, he knows how to do household chores especially cooking. It was admirable of him since he is coming from a well-off family. Besides that, I am not really good at the 'Household Chores Department.' Haha :> That's why I was quite sad he failed to make it to the Big 4. I was even touched when he cried when he was evicted because he is a person who rarely does it.


For his talent exhibition anyway, he played the guitar and sang "You and Me" of Lifehouse :)

My mom was the one calling me on stage to take a photo of her with Bing. Here it is...

Please don't mind her colleagues at the back. Haha

Oh see! She was even the one who took the photo of me and Ryan and as well as of my sister's. I also had the opportunity to talk with Ryan shortly. 

Me: Ryan, kamukha mo si Stefan Salvatore.

Ryan: Sino yun?

Me: Yung bida ng Vampire Diaries.

Ryan: Ahhh... Hehe...

Okay. That's all. Hahahaha **insert walang hanggang kilig here** I am just so glad the start of the review classes was postponed. I used to complain a lot but then, I understood why things have to happen. They made me feel so much of a teenager. Age? They are just numbers. This just proves it all. :*

Thank you Ryan Gabriel Boyce and Francis Boyce! 

xoxo,

HAPPY 32nd BIRTHDAY PAU GASOL!

He looks better with a short hair, right? 

 

JULY 6, 2012- My favorite NBA player and Laker PAU GASOL turned 32! I just find a way to remember his birthday every year since 2009 and I just do random things in relation to his birthday like that of the last picture. This man just amazed me ever since he got his first championship with the Lakers last 2009. Aside from being an amazing player and that heartthrob appeal (doesn't it show? hihi), he is also a good person by example. This year he won J. Walter Kennedy Citizenship Award for his charitable causes for the children and has been a UNICEF ambassador for seven years now. See? I may admire plenty more NBA players but this person topped them all. Sometimes it just takes more than the above-mentioned reasons. I just do. No whys. No buts. 

I just couldn't help but get pissed last Thursday anyway. He had a live video chat with his fans which I've been waiting for sometime since he announced it coming. It just so timely it was brownout town-wide when it finally took off! Uggghhh! And yes, I couldn't help but get jealous and irritated with power shortage here in Mindanao. These are the moments when I can't tame myself from getting mad. It happens. Never mind. Erase this paragraph.

About two days before  his birthday, Steve Nash signed in with Lakers. That was a big OH-MY-GOSH news for the Lakers fans out there. Steve Nash, one of the league's best finally signed up with Lakers and I just couldn't wait for this season to begin. Pau said it is a huge honor to play with Steve. He makes everyone around him better. AGREE! Well though, I will miss the Lakers-Suns match-ups. They're the matches i always look forward to but it won't be the samw without Nah around. Welcome to the Lakers Steve Nash!

Uhm, okay. Wishes for Pau? As a Lakers fan, I wish he still stay with the best league in the NBA. I think with the Lakers is where he is at his best. Now, that's very subjective. Another is that he will finally get married. Of course, not with me. (I kid, I kid!) Come on, he's 32. I think he should finally consider. Well, that's for me. Hehe :* I also hope he continues to reach out to children and perform his medical causes.  If you may ask, I personally would like to have those kind of causes too. Children, especially those who have  chronic illnesses, group of people my heart is close with. Okay. Enough for this self-disclosure. Another one, and the greatest one is that he will finally come to visit Philippines. I will surely rush to see him in Manila if that happens. I could let Kobe 's coming to Manila pass but not Pau's. Certainly NOT Pau Gasol. 

Before I end this, let me share to you this one post that squeezed my heart. He really appreciates his Filipino fans. I was really going 'gaga' with this because I was touched beyond description when I saw this picture in his Facebook fan page. 

Oh see? I'm such a fan girl and I couldn't care less if you say it's "ewwww". Haha. More powers Pau! Once again, Happy birthday! You are wonderful, Always have. Always will.

Much love from the Philippines,

Alchang

Random Scribbles :)

I shall insert in this post my lapses for the past decades. Oh I mean, weeks. Hihi. I am glad I still gained a few views for those couch potato moments when I failed to update this blog. By the time I get to deactivate my FB account, maybe perhaps I'll get to update this more often than before. Warning: the contents may be not in season. But please, bear with it :)

Some of you may have noticed in one of my posts that I promised to make a separate blog for my fish eye photo fascination. I should have made it long before but yes, I decided not to. OKAAAAY! I am not so good in promises. I just realized it's mean to post those fish eye faces in here and they become other people's laughingstock. Should I forgive myself for having the thought of making that post? Huhuhu :( Anyway, those fish eye photos are in my FB account which no one can tag because that is the general rule of the album. NO TAGS. You might guys view it if we are Facebook pals :)

Congratulations to all the Heat fans everywhere! Some of you may think that they were my NBA champion bet but hey, they're not. Last year, they were. I casted my bet for the younger team Oklahoma City Thunder this year. I was real torn between these teams but I don't know what was in Kevin Durant that captured me and made his team my bet. Well, anyway, I am a fan of LeBron even when he was still in the Cavs. I am so happy for his first championship award and of course, his first MVP!!! Though my bet lost, I am just no bitter because they were once my team. And Kevin Durant, you are YOUTH and ATHLETICISM at its finest. Maybe your team needs a bit of 'seasoning'. You will have your ring real soooooon :)

Lately, I am just going bored from the sleep-wake-eat cycle. Ugggh!!! I wanna go on formal review classes. I am always tempted to watch TV, play tetris so I can't read that much. I just can't tame myself. I am so sure I'll get another blog update before this week ends. I just thank June and welcome July with optimism and open arms! This is it!!! I can't wait!

xoxo,
Alchang
