Formspring.

Where I am right now: at the mall for groceries. I haven’t blogged in a week because the pile of schoolwork is so infinite. But don’t worry, I’m still alive. I’ll be posting the story of my birthday soon along with the snapshots.

And you’ve guessed it: I’m 15+1 already. I found a very nice blogskin and all I need to do is edit it during my free time. In the meantime, leave me a message or ask a question at my new Formspring page and make me happy!

We're gonna tear up the town

I’ve been very busy this past week. If you’ve seen my Belle de Jour Power Planner, you could see how hectic junior year has been so far. First, I have to submit my articles for the Theresian Magazine. Second, I have to study for quizzes after a day of discussion. Lastly, our group study for Research is killing our precious time.

What a bliss. In about six weeks I have to spend probably the busiest summer of my life. I have to review for all of my upcoming entrance exams. Read: study, study, study. I have to sacrifice those dreams of theater workshops in the summer just to have high hopes of getting into a Big 4 university, especially ADMU and UP. BTW, I’ve decided to take AB Communication Arts as my first choice of course and BS Psychology as my second.

The Parent-Daughter Consultation held this morning meant a lot for my mom and I. We got the chance to walk around the Covered Court to get brochures of the different universities that were there. Unfortunately, UP didn’t make it so I only got to get info for the Big 3. While I looked at those pamphlets distributed by the college representatives, my thoughts ran like a treadmill with no control. The words came to my mind: “I wanna go to UP, DLSU and ADMU.” Before the college fair, we has a mass where I was one of the selected students to read the Prayers of the Faithful. I am so honored to step into the podium and say my prayer to my batchmates and their parents.

My mom got to see my Guidance Career folder full of works I did since I was in Grade 1. I discovered that I wanted to be a Math teacher when I was seven. Oh come on! Plus, most of my works contained the sentence “I am special” and I have no idea why on Earth I wrote that. After inquiring to the booths, the two of us went to Tutuban where we bought clothes for my birthday and four new Dong-A colored pens for my planner. Haha!

Yesterday’s PALIHAN was a great experience. I was like a preschool teacher that day because our class has to take care of 23 kids. I took care of two kids, one hyper boy and one quiet-turned-energetic little girl. The first one was so hyper I have to chase him around the lawn until he tripped. The second girl was quiet at first but by breaktime, I was so tired of chasing her at the same venue.

In those hours, I felt like a member of The Baby-sitters Club.

Moving on, I wish I land an acting role in Dulaang Pinoy’s presentation for Personnel’s Day. My audition piece was a hyperventilated student. Fast forward to today, I have to watch DVDs. I finally got Brothers (Jake!), The Lovely Bones, and the first season of Glee. I watched one episode of Glee one night in ETC and I loved it.

Primal Scream


Title: Primal Scream
Artist: Candice (yours truly)

This is how we dance when they try to take us down

In ten days I’ll be 15 + 1 years old! Too bad I’ll be celebrating it on a school day so there’s not much time to explore in some other place after classes. Now speaking of the Intrams, it was fine. The first day was horrible, second day was fun, and third day was decent. I don’t have anything to share much about that event. I played chess….and I think you already know what happened.

Right now, I am crying. Seriously. With what I’m reading over the Internet, it made my tears roll down my cheeks. I am not reading some article about dead people.

I’m reading how God always knew our insecurities.

I read that the only way to overcome your insecurities is to pray to Him. If you say your inner thoughts to God, here is what He’ll say to you:

“Trust in me.

"I am unfathomable, faithful from the first to the last. My love for you is so wide, so deep, so all-encompassing that you cannot imagine. I reach out to you with all my heart. I love you, my child.

"Whatever you do, however bad you feel, even if you shun me and turn your back on me, I will always love you. Even if you have done the most dreadful things, I still love you. I am the way, the truth and the life. I am the love that you seek. The love to heal your wounds, to bind up your inner hurts.

"Be encouraged - you are not alone. I am always with you. I knew you before you were born, when you were formed in your mother’s womb. I know every step of your life, every minute, every second.

"Turn to me and I will comfort you. You cannot hide from me like you hide from other people. I see into your heart, and I understand. I know about your insecurity. Do not worry that I know this; be reassured, because I love you and want the best for you. I am here.

"I will not harm you - I came to set you free, free in your heart, free in your spirit. I yearn to bring you into my Kingdom, into my peace. Turn to me, let me in, and I will begin to heal you. There is no outer shell that you can wear that I cannot love through. Be at peace. Do not be afraid. I love you. I AM.”


I cried while I was reading this. I always try to feel good about myself but some people would mercilessly put me down. Lots of times I wish I was in the shoes of some pretty and well-liked classmate whom everyone envied. Other times I wish I was the girlfriend of some hot guy whom all the girls fell in love with because everyone will think I’m lucky. I was hoping 2010 will be a better year for my career and romance.

I am not allowed to have a boyfriend yet since I need to prioritize my education. I know this sounds KJ to all of you but I guess I’ll be lucky in the long run. I and my dad discussed about lovelife during our most recent chat. He told me lots of things like don’t hurry in entering a relationship. If my crush doesn’t like me, it means there’s someone more deserving who’ll enter your doorstep. Another one: having no suitor or boyfriend doesn’t mean you’re ugly.

It bothered me the whole time. I’m sick of people bragging about their boyfriends and monthsaries. It only made me jealous of couples and making me wish more that I have my own guy. There are times when I pray to God and tell Him to give me a boyfriend who’ll make me happy. However, I’m turning 16 (my hatest number, but it’s a confidential story) in 10 days and I’m still single. I hate it when I see friends’ “In A Relationship With xxxxx” status in Facebook because it only made me well, insecure. That’s why I read about that article.

I always ask to myself, “How come all the hot people are taken?” because it seems all the gorgeous guys aren’t available. I sound bitter, right? It sucks to know that it seems like all the cute guys in the world are taken by drop-dead gorgeous girls. I guess some of you won’t agree with this. But as far it goes, it is better to enjoy being single. You can like anyone you want. You can hang out with your pals 24/7. And most of all, you can have a very successful career. Then the lovelife will come as the right man arrives and you live happily ever after.

My question: do you know any pretty girl or handsome guy who’s single?

You know you love me

Happpy New Year everyone! This is officially my first post of 2010. First things first, I forgot to add something on 2009 Hitlist. I don’t watch Gossip Girl that often but I just love it. Here’s my special addition!

You know you love to hate them but you can’t - Chuck and Blair!
It’s a good thing I remembered to add them up to my hitlist since they’re the main reason why I enjoy watching GG. Aside from being gorgeous and stylish, they bring the spice and entertainment to the story. They might look villainous to you but at least they show their soft sides at some point. In my opinion, GG’s ratings boost is the effect of Chair!

What I’m doing right now: downloading songs I have to listen.
