SUMMER 2016

I actually do not know what to say about my summer. Where do I even begin? Good thing I already wrote this blog when I was still in Japan, on the first week of July. Hmm. I think this is the first summer where I was not that excited to go to Japan before I arrived home from Philippines. Though two days after the arrival, that is when I got excited because I went to ETC. I came back, actually. I missed ETC. I missed my friends!

Here are two pictures with my friends!

Since this was the last day, we took a picture together.

You might notice I am wearing a sports attire (shirt).. Yes, I went directly to Kamisato gymnasium after leaving ETC to play badminton. It is so fun to be physically active everyday! I am happy that I got my stamina back.

As what I have said before, I love ETC because there is always warmth that I feel every time I am hanging out with them and especially dancing with them! Actually ETC was one of the first things in my mind when I arrived Japan, and on my to-do list for this summer. (PS. This is the welcome blog for me yaay!)

The other thing I did is...

BADMINTON!

I am so happy that my parents bought me new racquet, and that I was able to play badminton as well! I actually wanted a new smartphone, but since we need to save money, so I chose racquet instead. At least exercise will make me healthy and will make my body well-conditioned. Oh yes, meet my Yonex Voltric Z-Force, my new racquet!

This is actually an old photo since I changed my black towel grip
into yellow rubber grip.

This was the time I felt like I was a pro because world players break
their strings because to their hitting strength.

Meet the Kamisato Badminton Club! Some of them already joined national competitions that
is why they are still really good even if they are old. Hands down.

P.S. I also wanted the Yonex Arcsaber 11 TH, the signature racquet of my number one idol, Taufik Hidayat, but it was out of stock so I chose this racquet instead (I have to wait one week for the ordering of Arcsaber 11 TH, which I could not wait already because I was too excited to play). The Voltric ZF-II is used by my other idol and current world ranking number one, Lee Chong Wei. I love my new racquet because it adds power to my hitting strength and gives me more control (though I think if I used the Arcsaber racquet, I would have had more control).  Next time, I shall buy the signature racquet of Taufik, both Arcsaber Z-Slash TH and Arcsaber 11 TH!... If I had enough money. Haha!

The next thing I did this summer is reading and writing. I love poetry because I feel like I view the world in a very creative manner and I convert that imagination into words which I think is very beautiful just like the other forms of arts such as photography, music, painting, and others. Although I scrapped all my written poems this summer because I could not think of good ideas and concepts. I need to try harder. Aja!

So this concludes my summer 2016. Thank you for taking the time to read!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

College Responsibility

College is the last stage of education where a person gets a degree/degrees, so one is already expected and ought to be responsible not only in academics, but also for himself especially in the simple daily things and tasks he does. What if that person does not do well to become a responsible person? To me it causes a detrimental effect not only in his college years but also in his future years because what he does reflects who he is. As a college student myself, I have also experienced this situation where majority of my block mates do not have materials, particularly papers, and they once gathered around me to ask for papers that made me very irritated. So today, I am going to talk about this issue in three points: First, the detrimental effects of not bringing materials in school―simply being irresponsible. Second, the morality in responsibility. Lastly, the solutions or tips to this issue.

Firstly, the detrimental effects of not bringing materials in school. If one is used to do this doing, it will become his personality and character, and it will greatly and negatively affect others, especially when he is already at work. It is because his mindset has probably been set that even he has no materials, his colleagues or block mates would just provide his needs, which is impractical. By doing this, it imposes an underrated standard to the classroom or office and this could possibly influence others that since there are generous people, they will do whatever the others are doing: to borrow or to ask materials without buying and providing for their own immediately. What makes this situation worse is if one of the persons who do this deed is an influential one. By this deed, it defines who the person is. It is acceptable to ask or to borrow materials from others sometimes so long as there is an immediate solution made on that particular day or tomorrow, such as going to school supplies store to buy materials. If it is consistent for several days or weeks, I suggest to not give the person materials to let him know that he needs to be responsible, because not taking an action to provide materials for himself makes him a mere indolent. We already have talked about the effects. Now let us talk about the morality.

Secondly, the morality in responsibility. Getting mad when no one does not give or let him borrow a material is very impractical. If one does not have materials all the time, would that give him the reason to get mad if no one gives him? That should be his responsibility and not other’s responsibility. No one has the right to get mad when there are no people who could provide materials for him. In my experience, there was this situation where they were saying “madamot” and worse, there was a back stab, which is very irrational. Sometimes, the person who asks materials all the time is the one who is selfish. When in turn, someone asks him something, he will refuse to give it by saying, “wala na ako” even if he has something to give or let others borrow. This, also imposes an underrated standard that the people in the same environment will be influenced to become self-centered: to think only of themselves and not so much of others. We have finally talked about the effects and the relation of morality. Now, let’s tackle what should we do to eradicate, or if not, alleviate this problem.

Lastly, the solutions or tips to this issue. Be a good role model in class; hence, establish a sense of purpose. List down the things that need to done. Just like jotting down notes in class discussions, one should list down things what he does so he can soon provide for himself through the reminder. Indolence would cause nothing but a negative effect for himself and environment. Being a role model means establishing a professional and positive standard in the school or office. Be generous and kind, but never irresponsible. If others starts to ask materials frequently, warn him to buy his own immediately.

Do not do things for your colleagues or block mates that they can do for themselves. This is beneficial because this will make others responsible by providing them natural opportunities to take initiative, solve problems independently, and of course, demonstrating responsibility. By starting this solution, this will cause a domino effect. Which means, the sense of responsibility of a person spreads to other situations he will encounter, that he needs to accomplish the tasks as early as possible and by not relying solely to others.

In conclusion, being responsible is not only about having an academic and intellectual excellence. There should be a moral excellence as well. The solutions will only be achievable if the person has sense of fulfillment and perseverance and he is willing to take risks in establishing a professional standard.

Debut ❤

Aaaahhh 😍😍😍❤💕✨

     12:17am. I went back to dorm from the debut celebration of My Love, Chrishia, held at Vikinngs along seaside of Mall of Asia. The debut was spectacular, and oh my gosh, My Princess was so beautiful and fabulous that I just died. Hahaha. No, seriously, she was really perfect. She has always been perfect. I just cannot take the happiness I feel right now! Hahaha! 💕✨ There were so many good things happened. I danced with her in the 18 Roses, I have able to meet her family, especially her dad, which we talked about when we are going to talk each other next time. The best thing about that night is that when he told me, "Alagaan mo siya ah." That really struck me and made me speechless that all I could say was, "Opo," but in my mind, I joyfully answered, "Opo, tito, I promise!" I, then, thanked tito and tita for entrusting their Lovely Princess to me. I was able to meet her high school friends as well and befriended Aldrin, one of Chrishia's best friends. One thing I could not ever forget is that Chrishia and her family invited me to ride with them since it was already late in the evening and I might be in danger if I travel alone. I could not help but become happy because this day has been very memorable to My Love. If she's happy, I am happy! Happy Birthday once again, MY Love, and I wish you all the best. Most of all, may God Bless our journey together in life. 😇
I Love You. ❤
愛してる😘❤

Love? So what?

          It has been more than a month now since my last post about MY Love. I would like to post something about her again. I want to talk about her. I would like to emphasize in this blog post that I love her, and she is mine. She is mine. SHE. IS. MINE.

Dinner at Eatle's. MY Diety is so adorable and lovely. ❤❤❤

Haha! ✨

          But, what now? What do I do then? Do I just sit here and enjoy the present while eating popcorn? Absolutely not. I have come to this thinking that it is during my solitude moments in my dorm that I gain wisdoms and bring them into practicality. Although it disturbs me at times due to emotional instability, I am still somehow able to find the good answer or choice to all the questions, wonderings, and most especially ignorance, of course. Thus, what I am going to do now is to make happiness and joy consistent to us. There is no secret ingredient to it. Even cooking does not have an absolute secret ingredient, but it is how a chef cooks. But how then, a chef could master his craft to make people believe that a recipe has something to do with a secret ingredient? Experience. A person consistently evolves, and constantly learns. If one uses evolution and learning the right way, specifically in love, he could master the craft of loving. Love is not just love itself at all—the perception of many. It branches out to different types of love. Some of these are trust, care, joy, compassion, patience, protection, responsibility, kindness, and generosity. However, love could also be, but (also) are not limited to, jealousy, worry, envy, sadness, guilt, anger, and frustration. The latter might be agreeable but makes one think that it is awful. Of course it is, but that is what makes a love, love. Real love. When one goes through the concept of love, or visits even just the vicinity of it, he is ought to get ready not only in the positive side of it, but the negative side of it. Positive situations are just easy to handle. However, if one does not know how to handle the negative situations, or try to handle those, he could not possibly handle the positive situations anymore. It may sound as easy as saying or writing it but the real challenge is the application of it. This is what challenges me now. This is what I am challenging now. The challenge to make the love be present to us all the time. Which means, whatever trials we might encounter, we will face them together. We will do it together, because it has always been us—we fell in love together—in the first place. Definitely, I am nervous, yet so excited to know about our future and how it will be. I Love Her So Much.

See, who could not be so lucky when you get to eat with an angel at dinner. Hahaha. ❤
I Love Her So Much. ❤✨

MY Good Vibes ❤

I have never felt this feeling for so long. Maybe I have never felt this feeling before. There is this girl that I like, and we always talk to each other. I like her because she is lovely, beautiful, responsible, kind, brave, intelligent, talented, boyish, humorous, and most especially faithful. All these made me attracted to her. She is humanly (imperfectly) perfect. In fact, I was never liking a girl. I was liking a woman, a woman whom I could see the future of us together. It has been more than a month now since I have been feeling this intimacy—we both feel towards each other. We even have plenty of pictures taken together. I oftentimes smile like an idiot every time anything about us is being talked about. 

Let me then, tell you a story of how we got this close. It was on the social media that we first had a conversation. Later on, I chatted her to wish her luck. Although the conversation stopped there, we started to talk again after a few weeks. It was after the debut celebration of my friend and her block mate, Camille. She asked me to send her the pictures of us. That was the time our friendship started to sprout and slowly grew from day to day. However, all I thought is that we will just be friends. Just friends, and it was only me that I have a crush on her based on her beauty. Little did I know the more I got to know her, the more I started to get attracted to her. However, it was not until on the 13^th day of January that I started to like her. It was the day when we played badminton together during the enrollment of our college. Indeed, we have been talking a lot before we met but all I had for her was admiration. Things changed when we talked a lot, shared stories, told jokes, and took many pictures on that day. All I kept on thinking was for us to enjoy playing badminton, but it was beyond my expectation that I became very happy because of her. By the way she acts and talks, it made me realized that she is definitely an epitome of perfection. But, I still could not believe what is happening and I just tried to ignore the feelings and said to myself that it was not really a big deal. Then, this time, the life slapped me hard for me to realize my feelings. As I was browsing the Spotify, looking for new songs to listen to, this song played. Over and Over Again by Nathan Sykes. The lyrics has been easily comprehended by my mind that each of the words sung, I thought of her. “I like her,” I said to myself. The next thing I did was I encouraged her to listen to this song because this song has struck me so much that each of the lyrics changes into her name. I am happy she liked the song too. That moment my question has been answered. That moment I realized that I like her.

I love this picture of us so much! She is so cute!

Suddenly, it felt like I was starting to fall for her days after I listened to this song. The more we talk, the more we laugh, the more I spend my time with her, the more I fall in love with her. I get excited, I get nervous, I get happy. My emotions get mixed up that my heart beats fast every time that I can already hear it with my ear. When we are together, the time stops, but the only thing that saddens me is that it does not resume where it stopped, but in the future; which makes me left wondered in this beautiful mystery—I do not remember anything but only her. When I am not with her, I miss her a lot. I even get sad by just not talking to her in a day. I think a lot of negativity hoping this would not be our last talk, or other crazy thoughts. And when we finally get to talk again, my heart gets the feeling of intense excitement just like riding a car travelling downward.

Sometimes I feel like I am a bothersome to her that inside me I already apologized to her several times. I usually tell her my problems, and I feel that she gets annoyed. I’m sorry... if I am being dependent. It is just, I feel protected, comforted, joyed, and most especially loved. It is just that holding her, is like holding my future. It is just that, I need her. Many would tell me that one should not depend his happiness to someone. The question is, do I not have the right to be happy without exemptions? If the meaning of love does not include hurting, is it still love? I would say no. Love is sacrifice, and sacrifice is caring, protecting, and loving someone despite the pain, to the extent of breaking oneself. Loving is taking the risks of hurting, and knowing the risks of hurting. Thus, I take the risks because I love her. I am the one who will care for her, who will protect her, who will comfort her, who will make her happy, and the one who will love her, over and over again. I could not stop telling myself that I am so lucky to have her, and I am so blessed to have her in my life. Both of us will build the future together beautifully.

"When he gives you that look."

HAHAHAHAHA!

I proudly introduce to you, Chrishia. MY Chrishia. MY Good Vibes. ❤✨

This is our favorite wacky pose. Haha!
