Love Manila, Tour Manila

Paco Park

Pollution, dirt and trashes all over the corners, noise and traffic --these were just some factors why we tend to hate Manila. Though we live in this place for a long time already, still, we tend to make and create certain impressions towards Manila.

When we had this opportunity to tour around Manila and to let others see the wonders of Manila, we’ve thought of researching for places that would seem to be very historical yet a must see place in Manila, we had the brainstorming on how we would want Manila to be perceived by others preferably the tourist who happens to pass through our country.

Our First place was at Paco Park, in U.N Ave., Manila

Its historical look seems to be very nice, as if you are in Intramuros already. The green grasses it has, the chapel that stands at the center of the park is pretty much beautiful as well. There is a charge of P5.00 for every person who in turn serves as the maintenance for the park as well as its comfort room fee. It was not also very crowded so you could really enjoy staying there for the long time; the place is very clean and well maintained at the same time. Then from a very historical look we moved to Intramuros, Manila  -- the big rocks and border that seems to make you feel old and vintage but is still very nice, while walking on our way, Casa de Manila was there, San Agustin Church, and the well – known Manila Cathedral Church,

I have ridden in a kalesa, the first time of my life (though I’ve had my horseback riding beforeJ). We’ve just kept on walking around Intramuros and take every opportunity to appreciate its wonder.

As part of our journey in Intramuros, one hotel would really be striking over there, which is the “Bayleaf” its sky top view that is very beautiful, very relaxing and you could be able to oversee the entire Manila from its view, there is the Manila City Hall, the Golf course that surrounds Manila, and the entire Intramuros. 

It was such a very good opportunity for all of us to walk around Manila and is a nice venue for us to appreciate its views.♥

Girl friends for keeps!

The world is a cruel place, you gain friends but may also lose them, you get along with new people but you’re still longing for the one’s you just lose.

It feels great having friends with you don’t you? Someone you share your tears and laughter with, someone who’ll listen to all of your silly stories and teases you when your crush just happens to pass by. I love my friends and I consider them all one of a kind! Want to me them? J

My college friends – gaining friends during college would be that hard according for some, since it would also mean neither a different schedule nor a very different personality, but thinking  of that theory, I never thought I would totally and really meet and gain bff’s in collegeJ

with kim:)

Kimberly Vargas

Short, kikay, talkative but very fun to be with, that’s kim, or kimmy as how I call her.

She’s one of my closest friends that I love to be with, we could talk for a long period of time and just talk anything under the sunJ. A person who never fails to make you smile with her endearing talents she always wishes to haveJ and she definitely has the guts and confidence   to show it to everyone.

She’s very sweet and kind and really has a lot of friends as well. I love her, as she understands my actions and my words as well. We’re both maarte in the sense that it doesn’t really irritates other people (right?:))))) considering our height difference? It doesn’t really matter as long as we understood each other.

A person I would always seek to talk to, someone who is more pressured and stressed than I do, a person who’ll keep on singing no matter what,but a person with so much goodness all at the same time.

hosting Irynn's debut

Irynn Viray

One of my first friends as I enter my college life. A type of girl who definitely looks serious nor mataray at first, but once you get to know her, simple jokes -  usually unusual ones makes her totally laugh out loud! HahaJ.

She’s very gentle and kind and a true friend that would always make you feel she’s your friend whom you could talk to. Having a lot of experiences she could definitely help you out.

Very simple yet elegant, Irynn is really one of my girlfriends I’ll always wishes to keep, simply because she stays who she is, no matter what.

Katrina Bulgar

Trina, a best friend I never thought I would have. Since she’s the girl who is totally busy at all times, simply because she has a lot of responsibilities in school, Bebe, as how I call and others call her, a very industrious and responsible student you wishes you be with, having that guts and courage to really what she wanted to be is really admiring.

My thesis mate, whom I will definitely spend the rest of my college years, researching and studying with herJ but someone whom I would also be happy and grateful to be with, as we could share a lot of things together, stories and inspirations that would help us grow together, she’s open – minded, very understanding, cheerful and never fails to give you  hug and a kiss.

seatmate forever :) trina

A very thoughtful friend that would always think about you, what could I say? I’m just lucky to have her, considering that we don’t love or like the same thing most of the time! Still we manage to be close together and learn how to handle our differences.

My church buddies – having a different belief apart from my other friends, would also be pretty much hard at some point, but thinking that you could also gain friends from your church, is pretty more exciting as well.

church activity with Clarizel

Clarizel de Leon

Clang, a very talented girl who never wishes to make me sad, she cheers me up on certain matter, and chat with you about anything, being with her for a day? Wouldn’t really totally be enough for the two of us to talk about everthingJ

Very simple, who never wishes to put make up on!!! Ugh! HahaJ but still manage to remain pretty in her own simple way. She also has a huge range of friends out there, and manages to be with them most of the time.

Team Building with Anne

Roseanne San Miguel                             

Bru, as how we call each other. A friend who happens to be my bff’s unconsciously, everything was really unexpected, we started as church buddies and tend to keep on talking about simple matters, but as time goes on, we turned out, sharing more experiences and stories to each other, secrets that would really be kept for long.

I really trust her, and I would totally be always happy to be with her. We’re both tall, in the sense that many people calls us as the twin tower, we don’t have time for people that are insecure or what, coz. what matters in the end is how we get along with others nicelyJ, my forever partner that would be as cheerful as I do and endearing one of my best buddies!

Longtime besty – along time besty, as what is said are people who remains with me no matter what, knew me for the longest run.

Picture buddy with Sybil

Ma. Sybil Aguilos

My highschool bff! A person who is totally supportive at all times, having a lot of things in common that we could share to, bonding moments that we always look forward too.

She’s very generous in giving, gained friends for that matter, cheerful and happy. Very industrious and smart at the same time, odb? (ikaw na!)

Having to trust people is such a very hard thing at times, you didn’t actually know each other’s personalities and etc. at first,  but what matters most, is how the two of you eventually became friends that made you to love each other so much!

From my 19 years of existence, I could say that I  was truly able to meet true friends that would really help me, they serve as my inspiration and people whom I know I could depend on the future. I’m so lucky to meet them, for they’ve brought too much smiles into my life. Though I still have a lot of friends and super friends who were not mentioned above, still,  all of them are considered as my Girlfriend for keeps!♥

 

We'll See",)

“The heart is the place where we live our passions. It is frail and easily broken, but wonderfully resilient. There is no point in trying to deceive the heart. It depends upon our honesty for its survival. “

Why only now, after your shortcomings and mistakes do come?

Why only now, when someone is already hurt because of the things you've done

Why only now, when all of a sudden things happen and changed the way you didn't expect it to happen.

Well, I guess, it happens for a reason…

We might not be sure of it at this point of time, others might not also agree with what reason we have on mind, but I guess what’s important , is “what we are today”

I've realized that maybe you've come out of the blues because someone up there thought that I’m well prepared for changes to happen, changes? Like? – Well, changes that would help me to become a better person, changes that would make me more aware of my surroundings and especially of myself .

But who am I talking here anyway?:) –let’s keep it more direct this time…

First things first, you were in white, striking a glare at me, I was in purple dress waiting for our turn to be accommodated, I knew from that moment that you've caught my attention and it all started from there.

There comes you sitting in front of me, I was in pink and everybody seemed to looked at me J, maybe because I’m new but you’re look was still the one who stands out the most, with your friend by your side and what you just kept on doing is to keep on staring at me(feeler?:))

Then comes an activity, I was in pink with my sister, you were in white and strike a smile with your greeting. No matter what you have on mind at that time, still, you’re the one whom I’m attracted with; you don’t seemed to tall, but maybe because there’s an aura on you that I find different apart from anybody else.

From that time on, I just kept on wondering who you really are? I mean, I felt like you were so known everywhere but still, I haven’t met you hand by hand. Every week, I just kept on wishing that I could be able to see you, it may seemed too far – but that would surely enlightens my night.

There comes different hearsay and gossips telling what your love story is… initial reaction? I was hurt, I felt like I was torn into pieces?! (haha.. funny) here comes the fact that your taken and I am not, I do not expect things to happen but STILL, although…

I've realized that you’re committed with another person and I feel like its one true love J I have nothing against it, but why is that certain circumstances really happens?

like?

One time, an important meeting to be conducted, I've attended and so do you, we even got the chance to took our lunches together, you were teased by some of them and I was there J got to show no reactions at all to signify that it was nothing on my part but I was also thinking and realizing the fact that : “why am I supposed to get hurt from the first place anyway?”

And then, there comes more time of seeing you, I tend to stare at you and once you glance at me, I easily turned my attention to others J. I actually don’t care about it anyway; but at the back of my head it always says

 “oh! here he comes again, can’t help but to get affected, did he just looked at me? Well, maybe not—don’t assume”

After four months of this kind of setting, one day it just eventually changed, this so-called “stolen glance” of you and me turned out to become a different kind of friendship. Conflicts do really happen, a lot of explanation rise between and among parties and a lot of adjustments, patience and understanding do make place.

Various promises were made, everything seemed to be very different, you've changed according to you, and I’m also sure that I've changed as well. It is true that we cannot please all people to make them believed on your stand, (that you were right), but still, anyways our understandings and my trust is just what matters to you most, according to you J

Your point of views and beliefs were really different  apart from anybody else, you showed me a another perspective of life, you add colors into it, and look at me now? Still coloring my life with you… As time goes by, we still kept on carving our history and making a strong foundation for both of us…

Obstacles may come, and more conflicts and arguments.

Things and circumstances may not always bear with us, but what I think is important Is our maturity to fight within the odds.

I’m so sure that he who is above would not let this things things to happen like what I said earlier, if there’s no reason at all.

Well, you kept on making promises, and although we know the fact that it is made to be broken , still, at the end of the day, I just always quote and say

                                                                     “WE’LL SEE”,)”
