Yes. Of course there were people in those COSTUMES.

I thought they were puppets…

Not now, but later

Tonight I found out from my mom that two of my high school friends, Pat and Joy, successfully transferred to the University of the Philippines Diliman and will be enrolling there this coming school year. When I heard the news, I was so happy for them I congratulated both of them on Facebook. It was touching to read all those heartfelt messages from our batchmates expressing their happiness for their recent success, just like when they found out I made it to the dean’s list for the first time last year. It was overwhelming to know that everyone is happy for each one’s triumphs, for the fruit of their labor, and for the sacrifices paid off. 

I entitled this “Not now, but later” because of this shattering truth: God has a way of answering our prayers; truly, He always answers us with yes, no, or wait. If it would lead us to the direction He wants to lead us with, He answers our prayers. Unfortunately, if we want it so badly but God thinks it is not right for us, then He says no and can lead to disappointment. On the bright side, when something is in the cards for us but is not yet the right moment to happen, He tells us to wait for the proper time.

Let’s take this for example: you have this childhood dream of becoming a doctor. Why? According to the press, doctors make a huge sum of money, travel abroad, cure the sick people, have the title “MD” next to your full name, and most of all, a good reputation. So in your elementary and high school years, you excel in Science particularly in Biology. Then the time for college applications arrive, you choose a pre-med course as your first choice. Time flies and the decisions arrive. The envelope is in your hand, waiting for your triumph or heartbreak, and you open it…to your heart’s dismay. According to the letter, this university wants you to avail of one of their available slots in Communication Arts. The days go by, you confirm your slot in that course, and you have doubts running in your mind. You ask to yourself, “Why am I here in Communication Arts if all I wanted is to be a doctor?” Your dreams were shattered by not getting qualified in your first choice, but you suddenly realize that something better is in store for you. So you go to college, learn your major, and unexpectedly enjoy it. In the end, you graduate with a degree in your backup course in addition to getting a reputable job. You ask again, “What my life would have been had I taken pre-med?"  The answer: life would be so much different. Chances are, you might not get the success or happiness you had when you took up Communication Arts. 

God really moves in His mysterious ways, that’s why He always tells us to wait whenever we pray for something that might not yet be right at the meantime. You might not get that dream the first time, but as you persevere you get closer to it until you finally succeed. Take a look at Joy and Pat - in fact, the three of us share the same experience. When college decisions arrived in January last year, we were saddened to know that we didn’t get in our dream schools. Despite the rejection, we didn’t let it take over our journey as college freshmen. We believed that God has better plans for us. So while I did everything to prove to everyone that I deserve to be in DLSU even with all the backlash, Joy and Pat never gave up on their goal to get into their dream schools. A year later, happy to say God has answered our prayers. Aside from being successful in our own right, my two friends finally succeeded in transferring to the premier state university in the Philippines. At last, they were able to get what they wanted and what is right for them. I guess it was God’s way to let them realize that all things work together for good.

With the good news I’ve heard about my two friends seeing their goals fulfilled, I reflected once again on the road that has been the past year. Before I went to college, I wasn’t really excited knowing that I would be studying in a university that was not my priority. But a year later, I cannot thank God enough for being a Lasallian. Aside from being in a course I am interested in, I would not have been happier in my life right now if not for the friends I’ve made and for the opportunities handed out to me. To rephrase what I said in the previous paragraph, God makes everything work together on our behalf.

“Trust in the LORD with all your heart and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and he will make your paths straight” (Proverbs 3:5-6) 

The long wait is over folks. Yes yes yes indeed!

Summertime Shop Files

This summer was the sole opportunity for me to have a shopping overhaul since I won’t have much time to think of it by the time school starts. Luckily, I was able to score some fabulous yet affordable finds that I could wear for school, special occasions, and simple hangouts. On the other hand, it was hard to think of a title for this outfit post because I wanted something appropriate. Hehe :)) 

*drumroll please* Let me present to you what I bought in my two-week vacation in SG and Malaysia! Forgive me for the subpar quality of the photos: 

 

White and coral lace dress from Bugis

Shorts from KSL shopping mall in Johor Bahru, Malaysia 

Pink polo and high-waist jeans from Bugis 

In my previous post on our family trip to Malaysia, I mentioned about buying my first pair of Toms shoes there. The days flew by when I suddenly felt the need to buy ballet flats because like I said I won’t have all the time in the world to go to thrift stores for a pair of shoes or skinny jeans. Then yesterday the time came. My mom and I were strolling around Orchard when we found Rubi holding a “buy one, take one” shoe sale. After several fittings and mindblown debates on which pairs I should take, we were able to come up with a decision. 

(from top to bottom): my very first pair of Toms shoes bought in Malaysia, black and white leopard print ballet flats, and pink striped ballet flats (both from Rubi) 

Next goal to accomplish before summer vacation ends: have my nails cleaned and painted! 

In two weeks, I emptied two small jars of Nutella and am currently eating the large one. Somebody stop this worst case scenario of Nutellatitis.

Weekend @ Johor Bahru, Malaysia (5/5-6)

For three weeks until the dawn of May 27, I will be staying in Singapore for the remainder of summer. As part of my family’s summer explorations, we had an overnight stay in KSL Hotel and Resorts in Johor Bahru, Malaysia last Saturday and Sunday. Apparently, my dad wanted to take my mom and I there because of the shopping mall located in KSL. When we got to the place, everything was better than we expected from the flawless hotel room we stayed in to the many delectable restaurants nearby.

May 5 

• Lunch at Manhattan Fish Market


• Watched The Avengers in 3D and it was my first time to experience watching a full-length feature in this format! The first fifteen minutes of the movie were dull; however, the rest went beyond everyone’s expectations until the very end! The action was heart-stopping, all of the Avengers were equal in executing their powers, the visualizations were near to impeccable, and the story was not at all predictable unlike many action movies these days. The Hulk as the film’s comic relief was a big plus!  I have no regrets watching this despite the dizzying 3D effect. 


• Visited the shopping mall in KSL 


• Dinner at a seafood market where I got to taste crayfish and love it at first bite

May 6

• Breakfast buffet = free yogurt, pancakes, waffles, muffins, eggs, etc.!


• Got my first pair of Toms shoes + bought two shorts <3 


• Left KSL Hotel and Resorts at noon 


• Arrived back at SG at 4 PM 

Now here are snapshots from last weekend:

Look! There’s seafood galore!

Frankly, I enjoyed my second trip to Malaysia rather than the first one. It’s not that I hated the vacation in Genting; rather, the one in Johor Bahru was more exciting and memorable.
