After being Deprived from Sleep: FINALLY! :)

Last night was the best sleep that I had for the past four months. Finally, Thesis is overrrrrrr! I just succesfully passed my defense and I felt so much joy. When the panel said "Congrats, you passed", I seriously want to jump and scream so loud. I felt so relieved. Because I know that I worked hard for it. I had sleepless nights and I've experienced too much STRESS. But indeed, it is over.

After being deprived from a good sleep, finally, I had been able to sleep peacefully. I slept without having to alarm my phone for meetings or revisions of my thesis. So it meant that I could sleep as long as I want to. I slept without having to check my planner for tomorrow's schedule. In short, I slept having an assurance that things are fine already. Although not all of my problems are solved yet, I'm happy that most of the things that gave me too much stress and bothered me a lot are over. And about the other problems that I have, I can resolve it soon, I know. :)

My goodnight prayer to God was different as well. For the past months, I prayed that he would give me more strength and determination to accomplish my responsibilities. I kept complaining like a little child every night that I was so tired and I felt like giving up. And then, I'll just burst out myself to tears during the time that I felt like I have the world on my shoulders.

But last night, I could not say anything else but thank you. He didn't disappoint me. In fact, he has given me the courage to fight and to continue believing that I can make it. Yes, he tested my faith and he pushed me through my limits. Simply because he trusted me enough and he knew that I could survive, and yes, I made it! I survived 1st sem of being a Senior!

And so I woke up having a smile on my face. Smile that I didn't see for months. It was a real SMILE. Life may be a bitch but God is moving. Just at the right place. Just at the right time. :)

Single and Happy yet Hopeful. :)

My life is doing pretty good right now. Yes, I've been through a looooot. But here I am, stronger as ever. Others say I'm an over achiever. They wonder how I manage to accomplish different things at school while working. I just give them a big smile everytime they say those things.

Others think I have everything in my hands and they say that the only thing missing is a boyfriend. They keep on pushing, teasing and forcing me to have a boyfriend. Yes, I get jealous sometimes when I'm surrounded with couples. But I'm happy. Seriously. 

I just don't wanna settle for anyone who's around because I know in my heart, that I deserve so much more. I deserve a love that is willing to risk everything for me because I'm worth it. I've been single for quite some time now but I won't bother staying single for another more months or years as I know that there are no shortcuts in meeting someone who is destined for you. No shortcuts for someone who is worth having.

It's a cliche to say this but maybe, God is still really writing my love story. And If I would be single for another year, that won't definitely hurt. I bet it will give me an opportunity to grow and learn more. Just like what I have learned for the past two years that I'm single.

Whoever he might be, I know he'll find me. Or should I say, we will find each other. I know our souls will meet one of these days. And I will patiently wait. :)))))))))

My Starbucks Hot Chocolate Saved the Day..

Today was a very busy and tiring day. I was at school the whole day rushing for the revisions of my Chapter 4 and 5 Thesis. Then I went home just to change and make myself ready for work. I was on the cab and I realized that I'm 30 minutes early for work. And I badly need something to make me feel better. So I decided to have my Starbucks Signature Hot Chocolate.

As I was ordering my hot choco, the girl barista was smiling at me like I was her bestfriend. The other barista who was doing my choco politely asked me to wait while his preparing  my drink. How I wish I could always be at that kind of environment. A place wherein everyone wears a big smile. A place wherein I could just enjoy drinking my hot choco and just watch people. In there, it's like I could do everything I want and no need to worry about what will happen next. I just love the environment and I love the smell of the coffee. It simply renews my soul.

But that moment couldn't last for too long as I need to start walking to office and get myself to work. How I wish people at work and at home could have an atmosphere like Starbucks. Just a happy place to stay. Nevertheless, my hot chocolate saved the day! :)

AdFest 2011: A Once In a Lifetime Experience

LEGACY may not be the group with an outstanding member from the class who usually has the capability of being a leader. And that was my number one fear. It's not that I can't but it's just that my schedule is so loaded to the point that I can't handle to have an additional obligation.

And so I was grouped with these people: Jordan, Albert, Jasmine, April, Lyra and Chas. By the time that I was grouped with them, I just said to myself, "We will make it!"

I was with them almost everyday having our meetings and doing things that we need to accomplish for the AdFest. Spent overnights with them during the shoot and I can say that I am happy I was part of the group. It was indeed hard. But working with these people made everything lighter. We worked hand in hand to finish all the tasks that we are obliged to do. Even the boys exerted much effort in fulfilling our tasks.

I can say that this has been the most memorable production I've experienced in my college life. Our hardships, sacrifices and efforts were paid off. We won 8 awards and I am so proud! We did our best. Each one contributed knowledge and ideas for us to obtain whatever trophies we have right now.

The bond that we had is something that cannot be exchanged even with a million trophies. Teamwork is what we have that's why we made it. Congrats LEGACY! So proud of you guys! :)
