Happy Holy Thursday

Happy holy Thursday with The UPT Family

A thursday better than the DLSU's happy thursday at Sherwood. I spent a whole thursday with my schoolmates at Mendiola. We went to the St. Jude Catholic Church and attended the 4pm novena prayer. It was my first and for the most of us to visit the church.

We have this group of friends wherein we don't stick to the clique that we should be with like "the same course flies together", NO! We don't do that. We gather together at Pancitan, a dinner near our school, every time when we have, well time! We have different schedules because we take different courses so it is kinda hard to find time to be together. We are also in different age and year level as well so we really learn from each other alot. So whenever we have time, we grab the chance. They are simply unique from any of my group of friends. I will surely miss them when I go to China for 2 years.

A little groupie wouldn't hurt, even though 3 of them are not with us today due to some circumstances :) #BarkadaPic

Update on the new me

WHAT IS UP CYBER SPACE???? LOL .. HASHTAG LOL
I've been gone for a while but now I'm back. What happened to me in the last few months was really my peek of 2014. I didn't expect so much would happen but you know? I learned to practice a new skill and most people call ot "Move On". Moving on with past experiences and learning from it. I knew what I lost when me and my ex was together. You have to change and adapt to each other's personalities for your relationship to work, right? I lost the "me" who I loved the most. The "me" who knew what were things I should keep, things that are worth it of my time and deciding on future purposes. I lost more than what I should've gain. But other than that, I found out that that incident is a blessing in disguise. All the while i thought I lost my path but it actually helped me get back on track.
I started to go out more and meet new people . . . Say hello to my UPT Family.

I also had a new look . I grew my hair longer and had on bangs. . .

I went back to my old morning hobby and also had a father-daughter bonding as a bonus . . 

I found new hobbies to do as well to fill up my time at night :) Like playing computer , trying out new food , and went to places . . .

I enjoyed finding myself again :)
Say hello to the new NIKKI going beyond the past and further to the furture! <3

Chao Cheezers! <3

Comfort food

You know how we always run to food whenever we get upset or disappointed?

Tuna Pasta by mom and bbq at amber's :)

Breakfast in bed while watching S.W.A.T.

Lasagna with buttered garlic bread
After Gym class :)

Potato chips (Cheese flavor) and Jungle Juice pouches for snacks

at my education subjects :)

I don't really eat too much junk food, just this times. I also love pastas. It is what absolutely turns my mood better. I also enjoy home made cooking and breakfast in bed with movies. Yes, I love watching movies in bed that early with a plate of pasta :3 yep yep, especially weekends. Ugh don't get me started on street food at night.  Absolutely good :) I love going out at night buying street food and eating out side while enjoying the natural moon light and the cool wind blows.

~Chao cheezers :*

Sadder than sad...

You know how in movies, the girl returns to the boy everything the boy gave to her when hey break up? Well, I did the same and I accidentally left this shirt behind because it was still in the laundry.

Long story..
Today everything was okay. One morning, I wake up and BOOM! what happened?

It was Monday afternoon when a girl came up to me and told me they've been flirting with each other, my boyfriend and her, for a couple of days already. I thanked the girl for her guts of telling me and asking for forgiveness. Of course I asked him (lets call him "Meow") if it was true. Yep, I called Meow and he confirmed it is but also said he was lying when he was saying it to the girl.
Of course I'd still be mad and of course I'd break up with him even though we had three long years together. And besides, he has done it more than twice, thrice, and so on. What'd he expect? Forgiveness and trust comes falling from the sky???
He didn't make an effort of asking for forgiveness. He was even mad at me! So I told him never to call me nor answer my calls (at times I get mix feelings and start calling him) so I told him stuff, stuff like "Im going ti block you in everything" and "Don't even come near my house" and more stuff like that. I didn't want anything to do with us anymore because he didn't want anymore, so why make an effort for someone who doesn't love you the way you deserve? Then I got rid of all the stuff he gave me and placed in a back pack. I went straight to his house, got wet by the rain, knocked on his door, gave him the bag and you know what he said? "Ha? Madami na gamit sa bahay, dagdag kalat lang to. Hindi na kasya" (Translate: Ha? There are so many things at home already, It's just gonna add to the clutter. It's not going to fit here anymore." I didn't respond and I just left while he kept on nagging for me to take it back... sorth of? i didn't bother listening to his complains.
I couldn't cry anywhere. My friends were all out eventhough it was monday. I recently lost a best friend too (but were okay now, July26) and I didn't want my family to know what happened yet so I cried at the jeepney on my way home. I bowed my head and leaned on my back pack placed on my lap and I quietly cried my air-of-pain out. I couldn't squeal even if i wanted to, it'll be too much of pain sp i just delivered exhales while crying and constantly wiping my tears secretly. I went down the jeep as soon as it reached V.Cruz, I was walking home already and wished it was raining so that I could cry in the rain while walking and no one would notice so easily that I was. I worked before so.
The wound is still fresh and i prefer not talking about my feelings with my friends because they have problems of there own and I didn't want them to worry about me anymore even though they kept asking me to tell them anyways.
And Wednesday came. I was at home early advancing on my studies when my mom noticed at the left side of my neck was swelling. She asked me to go home early the next day and go see a doctor to have it checked. I'm suppose to have my 1st therapy session at pain and rehab tonight but it started raining hard. even though my aunt has a car for us to use, I didn't bother anymore. So now I'm still stress over this love thingy-majig, neck thing, and my up coming mid-terms.

TALK TO YOU CHEEZERS SOON! <3

Who to be? And when to be?

Stress! Stress! Stress! Yep yep you could surely say it again, stress!

I had such hell of a week after having to deal with problems, problems and guess what? more piles of problems. It all started a long time ago when I was born, kidding, started last April when my used-to-be best friend had her problems and then involved me in some big ways followed by my financial problems and then later on followed by my partner and then of course theres school. So you could say that my world is crumblin with stress.

In this picture, well it's me working on my responsibility, inside my sanctuary, of course. My sister took the photo because she said I look like I needed a time-off to earth and maybe jump to the moon for a lighter break, whatever that means. It was really just over flowing of problems that's greeting me but you know? As those problems come and go, the lessons thought is remarkable.

It opened a door for me to meet new friends, new people really or people who were there but I really didn't give value to and there's new places, hobbies, and food that Im not even allowed to eat but I did. And places I didn't dare go to but I still did. With the lessons giving more maturity in me, I'm starting to live some people with the old me behind. What do I do now? :(

Street food so good..

  Street food in the Philippines are often found in Carts, Small tables along the side walk, or roaming around populated areas. Some filipino favorites are fish balls, nuts with or without skin,  fried intestines of chickens, halo-halo, balot or penoy, and many more.

  The picture above shows the beef mami. It is also a popular street food dish among filipinos. It contains noodles, chunks of beef and vegetables. It soothes the tummies of people that eat them. It is served hot and refills you with soup again without any additional payment.

  There is also a tandem with the beef mami. When you mix or eat it with rice, it is now called pares. Pares is a filipino word that when translated to english, it is "pair". It is also very budget friendly that even locals have them for their dinner.
  I was walking to school when I came a across a food cart surrounded by construction men and students. I went closer and see for myself what they were surrounding at for. It was this beef noodles that they were lining up for. Since i didn't eat my breakfast yet, I went on and ordered one dine in beef noodles for myself.
  Manong (how we call older lads or seniors) served it hot and smoking. Oh! it looked mouth watering. I just couldn't wait for it to cool down. But I didn't want to get my tongue burnt so I blew it till it is cool enough to eat. It was good and okay. I still had this thinking at the back of my mind that I'm still not sure if the dish was clean or the utensils that i was using was clean. I wasn't sure of how it will affect my stomach after eating eat but it was not a regretful decision to try it. It was satisfying in fact.

~slurping is not a good table manner (except for some culture)

~Later cheezerssss...

Afternoon Tea Therapy

After my dance practice and tiring day at school (That's why there is a water bottle there) , my friend and I walked home together. Her name... well she's popularly known as Bern, so let's just cal her Bern. On our way, She mentioned about this new tea shop inside the metropolitan hospital. She asked me if i wanted to come and have tea with her, at first I refused of course, not because I didn't want to but due to I'm a little tight on budget. She insisted of treating me anyway after I refused a few times. While waiting for our tea, we chit chat a bit about things that happened during our practice. After a while the barista called us and served the tea. It tasted yummy and creamy with just the right tangy flavor of the tea well blended together. I will surely go back there and purchase different flavors of their tea. :)

~See you Cheezers..

Nikki's love for Kawaii

My love for Kawaii started the summer of 2014. I saw a page at Facebook called "Rainbowholic". In an instant I started getting interested at what I'm reading at the page. I continued to like it by checking out the page everyday and waiting for a new post. I also searched for more pages related to kawaii and followed it as well.

I got more curious of their culture. One day a friend of my cousin invited us for an over night at her place, we met at an SM Mall near her place, she said that we should eat somewhere because she's not sure that her parents cooked dinner yet. We went to a Japanese based themed restaurant called Rai rai ken i think and she ordered this amazing but expensive sushies! It was heaven in my mouth to have my first taste of that kind of sushi. It was really really good so it built confidence in me to try out other Japanese meals. I tried their famous 'bento box' and tempura. what can I say? It was worth every penny!

At the rainbowholic page i saw a post about the Ozine Anime convention fest. I begged my boyfriend if we could go there even though its not his thing.And so we did. I got more inspired after seeing more people who adored the japan tradition of cosplaying. They were unique people who knew how to put the 'I' in individual. I wasn't a complete super fan of Japanese Cosplaying but i was an appreciator of it. For me it was cool and fun and of course different in the best way it could.

I hope to one day visit the streets of Japan and experience more from the land of the rising sun.

Sore throat and my first post :)

So i have a sore throat... and a ton of research work for my Literature class which i decided was enough of a reason to start my blogging days again. LOLs :P
I've had this sore for about three days already and maaaaan does it blah! I have an audition tomorrow for a singing contest that is showed on a nation wide audience and i don't know if i can even say my name without me sounding like an old man ordering pizza at a rock concert! You could just imagine, my deep deep deep blobber nut pain. Good thing my friend who's voice was forever a broken glass is here(at my place), makes me feel not so much of an old man *blush*.
P.S. My research work is about le poets and le poems of different countryzzz by the way.
