Of All Sorts!

After a twenty day hiatus, I'm finally back!! :) internet connection has been down and the PC got busted, AT THE SAME TIME. Thank God it's back!! 

I've got a lot to blog about!

November 1. 

Went to the cemetery with the Pelagio family!! It was really good to be reunited with some of my cousins. We've ventured out on our own careers and it's really nice to just sit down and catch up. (Even if catching up means sleeping together Hahaha)

I was close to tears when we visited my paternal grandparents' grave. I miss them so much. Lola was my earliest teacher while Lolo was the one who constantly checks on my academic standing in school! I miss you both! May the good Lord grant them eternal rest. :)

Enjoy your time with God, Lolo & Lola :)
November 2 & 3. 

Attended the BLS Training at Red Cross with Kuya, Elaine & Kristy! Day 1 was solely for lecture while Day 2 was for practicals. Just so you know, I should have taken this training a few months back, if not for the UAAP fever that I caught! Almost everyone I know had their certificates already so I was really itching for it be over. As I would like to put it 'one at a time". So I studied well for the exam, may be a bit too well to get a perfect score! I was surprised when Sir Andrew announced "May naka-perfect". I wasn't really expecting but when he called out "Jessica.... Pelagio? Sino 'to?" I couldn't help but grin. Thank you Lord! The practicals was quite a laugh trip. The counting for the rescue breathing and chest compressions are confusing! Yung tipong alam na alam mo pag nagppractice kayo, pero pag nasa harap mo na yung dummy and instructor, your mind goes blank. Good thing, we all passed. :) That reminds me, I have yet to get my certificate and license!! 

Within that week, I got a call from a neighbor, asking me if I can tutor her grade 7 son. I liked the idea of teaching so I gamely agreed. I am helping Ivan, my tutee, with his Math and Science, not really my favorite and best subjects during high school but I'm trying my best! I think I'll keep up with this part time job until December. Next year's a busy one!!

The next week, Papa played with the idea of taking a 4-day vacation to Leyte this December. A good friend of his invited us over for their fiesta celebration!!! The last time I checked, we are already booked. By us, I mean me and Paps! Mams has her own trip scheduled while the sibs are school-stucked until then. I hope everything works out!!! 

Also within that week, my uncle, Tito Rene surprised me with the news that he is sending me money as a graduation slash board exam success gift!!!!! I cannot believe it! I couldn't thank him enough. :) 

On a totally unrelated note, I am going crazy over make-up!!!! Last week, when I did the grocery with my little brother Biboy, I sneaked in the Etude House counter at SM. It was heaven!! I am smitten with their make up line, not what with their dainty packaging!  I am particularly in love with this product. (see below)

LUCIDarling Soft Spongy BB Makeup Coverage
I was able to try this good stuff for a day. It's lightweight and has good oil control. It comes with a brush for an even application. It's a bit pricey though. But compared to other brands, I think this is cheaper by a 100 php. 

Even when I'm not on break, I have this!!!! 

PERFECT SUGAR FIX!!!!!! :)
I'm leaving you with a quirky picture of mine. 


Have a nice week ahead!!!!
