I love you Noah

Cheeky! :)

Parang kelan lang! Noah spent his summer with us a year ago. We terribly miss him. We used to stay overnight at my Tita's house just to cuddle him. 

All smiles!!

I'm flooding this post with his pictures. Hahaha :)

Complete with the swimming attire!

And now..

He's a big boy na going to school!!! :)

YOU ARE TERRIBLY MISSED NOAH. WE LOVE YOU!! <3

Kudos!

Good morning! Decided to groom my blog randomly! Haha being random is fun! :)

What do you think about the new look? Poor me kasi I cannot make my own template. So I had to choose an old template where my "personalized header" will fit. So far, this is what I liked and this is the perfect fit. Haha I cannot believe I'm investing so much time with my blog! 

Yesterday, I received the great news that FEU Tamaraws' RR GARCIA bagged the MVP title for UAAP Season 73! SOBRANG AWESOME! :) It really made my day! Here's the link to the Inquirer article: http://www.inquirer.net/sports/articles/Garcia-named-UAAP-MVP-Romeo-is-top-rookie.html

So in honor, I decided to edit my coveted picture with RR sa Paint. Hahaha! 

Photo failure ba? Sorry. But yeah, yan ang MVP!!

Kudos to the FEU Tams!  Rookie Terrence Romeo also awarded Rookie of the year pala. 

I find it funny and cute when my classmate Lee texted me yesternight. She asked me to keep her updated with the UAAP! Hahaha to others, ganun na talaga ako ka-fanatic! 

Have a blessed Tuesday! 

Tsokolate Galore

Just had a wonderful heart to heart with Brigid. She's back from her five-day vacation from Samar. I missed her company! :) One week akong nasa bahay coz I can't seem to find my way without her! Naks naman. She has more sense of direction. Glad she's back! She's still the same old BF na maingay magkwento sa FX. Hahaha! Forgive me, I missed you that much!

Look oh!

Pinoy Tsokolate!! :)

It was raining hard one night and I was looking for something hot to drink in the kitchen cabinet. There's coffee, but no creamer. Milo sachets are gone! How come? Mama bought enough to last the whole week. Ay oo nga pala, I still have four siblings! Hahaha! So it leaves me nothing. So I texted Brigid and asked her if she can score some chocolate tablets for me!! Ang alam ko kasi sa province meron nun.  To which she replied "Sige tingin ako."

You might ask bakit yung traditional tsokolate pa?

I had the idea when my favorite model and TV host Bianca Gonzalez, shared her love for Mary Grace's Traditional Tsokolate and Grilled Ensaymada Pressed as her dessert. I registered under her Ktxt account so I get to receive her daily journals. Nainggit ako with her hot tsokolate experience that night.

And just earlier, I finally had the time to try Bianca's favorite!! The traditional tsokolate was heaven and it compliments the sweetness of the grilled ensaymada!! Sayang, I should have taken a picture but we're too busy making kwento and eating!! I took home the tissue and stashed it in my bag! Atleast diba? Here's a part of my tsokolate and ensaymada experience!

Yummy Mary Grace! I'll come back for more :)

I bought my roomy Jansport bag because I missed using it :) The last time I used this was during the review pa!

Thanks BF!!!! :) I missed you :)

God Bless everyone!!

FEU-Ateneo game earlier was super intense!! My second time to watch live for the season and boy, the upper box ticket was all so worth it!! :)

Saw Ronna pa! Such a bonus! I super miss the girl! So, ang awkward lang mag cheer with Ateneans like them, behind!! Hahaha! But super sport naman, good game Ateneo!! :)

Saw one of my original UAAP heroes, Enrico Villanueva!! And I wouldn't miss a photo-op with him!

Enrico V in the house!! :)

My friends would be so surprised to know that I love UAAP or basketball in general. The games give me the thrill that a high score in Pharmacology can't surpass!! The loud drums, the cheers, the clap and the school color! Just the whole school spirit makes everything exciting!

My pagiging UAAP fanatic started when Mama knew that a family friend, Tito Dick Manalo, has a son (BJ Manalo) who plays for the De La Salle Green Archers.

BJ Manalo :) former Blue Eagle and Green Archer

Since then, Mama will tag us along at the Blue Eagle Gym to catch the games! From then on, I get to memorize the names and jersey numbers of the players. I came to a point where I also became a Number 1 BJ Manalo fan! (complete with all the articles, pictures, autograph, wallpaper, friendster account!) He is my first basketball crush to note! He suffered ata an injury so he wasn't able to play for quite some season. So my basketball fan craze encountered a low point.

But my love for collegiate basketball NEVER faded. I continued to watch the games. That time it was the intense Villanueva-Ritualo rivalry. I'm on the DLSU side. (di ko alam kung bakit. Hmm kay Cardona ata! hehehe) So at one point, I kinda hated Enrico and the Ateneo gang. Hahaha! But it was during their time that I loved UAAP so much, hence kahit sino mang players that time, I love you. Hahaha! :)

Now, FEU and Ateneo gets twice to beat advantage. FEU goes up against DLSU while Ateneo pitted against Adamson for the semis. I really hope FEU can make it!!

This is actually pala the first time that I get to support the FEU Team bigtime!! Dati kasi I always cheer for DLSU or Ateneo, depending where my crush is Hahaha! So now, that I am a graduate plus FEU has a great roster of talented players this season, I WILL SHOW MY SUPPORT!! ALL THE WAY!

Lezgo FEU!!

I really have nothing to blog about. Hahaha! :) Okay, let's see. Hmm.. *blank stare*

Okay, here's a picture with Ramon Bautista!!

puh-leese

I want the Nokia C3 badly!! Been begging my Dad for quite some days already. I hope he gives in soon. Hehehe :) But Mom, as usual, disapproves. :( So I guess I have to turn to my titas and titos for some help! Hahaha! Sponsor me! :D

Nokia C3! I want the pink one!! :)

RN akooooo!! :)

I MAY HAVE FAILED THE EXPECTATIONS OF OTHERS, BUT GOD WILLING, I DID NOT FAILED MY OWN.

Day two of the nursing board exams, as I clean the clutter out of my desk, I took a deep breath and while I put my things inside my bag, I told myself "Lord, just let me pass the exam." That was it. I didn't ask for a standing in the Top Ten. It was as simple as that.

Grueling was the days full of uncertainty. Waiting is indeed an agony! We continued to reminisce the board exam questions til two weeks thereafter and even tried to look for answers! When things get extremely tachycardic, I kneel and pray, "Lord, please let me pass the board exam." Plain and simple as it is.

To tell you, it's tough to handle situations when relatives, friends, batchmates and professors would tell you "Oh anong top ka sa tingin mo?" I will just shrug off the question, smile and say "Basta pumasa po, okay na ako dun!" :) Isa pa, "Sure naman akong papasa ka e! Ang tanong nalang anong top ka!" Don't get me wrong ha? Of course, nakakataba ng puso for people to shower you with so much admiration and trust! But at times, all I can say is "ahh.. errr."

It was a Friday afternoon. News has it that results are ought to be released that night. So I decided to do a House, MD marathon nalang kesa kabahan! I was scheduled to go to my Papa's office that day, but my sleepy self wasn't able to wake up. Hahaha! In the middle of episode 17, texts started to flood in! The first text I received was from my highschool friend, Berlynn de Ramos. It says, "Jc, congratulations!!" I was stunned and I immediately ran to our PC. Finally, I saw my name with all it's RN glory!! :) I CRIED WHILE TEXTING MY PARENTS. I was overjoyed! I was elated! It felt like all the happiness was poured to my heart more than it can handle!

After the tension came to a low point, people started to share their mini frustrations unto my FB chatbox. "Bakit wala ka sa top? Sayang :(" How was I supposed to reply? All I can say was that "Okay lang yun!"

WITH ALL HONESTY, I CAN FRANKLY BLURT OUT that I WAS NOT DISAPPOINTED NOR DID I CONSIDERED MYSELF A FAILURE for not being in the Top Ten. Maybe because I wasn't really expecting it after all. The exam was so hard. I did my best during the review. I tried to be the best student FEU NRMF School of Nursing has seen by being on time. (Okay, exaggerated! Hahaha) I read books, I splurged my allowance on review materials and ate alot to supply my drained brain. It was my personal definition of "best".

I don't regret not praying "Lord, please save a place for me at the Top Ten". Na baka if ever I prayed that, God will indeed give me a spot. But I realized, kahit naman di ko ipagpray yung spot sa Top Ten, if God knows it's good for me, He will give it. God has His plans unknown to man. I don't see it as a punishment, or as a means of saying you're not just good enough to be at the Top Ten. I see it as His way of saying "Here you go my child, be the best nurse that you can be." At the end of the day, I did not fail my expectations. And that is more important. I am at peace. :) Yung sinasabi ng iba, mahirap i-handle yun. Pero yung maguluhan yung sarili mo dahil sa personal expectations mo na di mo nafulfill, MAS mahirap yun. :)

In the end, just because you weren't a topnotcher doesn't mean you are less of the smart person that you already are. Di ba? :)

People still love you :) And so as I end this, my heart rejoices!! RN ako!!! :)

In all my RN glory!! :)
Respectfully Yours, JESSICA MARIE S. PELAGIO, RN
