Unlikely Fun-filled Saturday Trip

A stressful, disappointing  and seemingly unbearable circumstance when you're alone could be a fun-filled, crazy adventure with your peers.

An exact example of this was crossing Manila Ocean yesterday, July 21, 2012:

It was both a reunion (with Kamelle and Sol) and a getting-to-know-more stage (with Fatima and Juvy).

I don't have the best camera yet their smiles and happy spirits are evident in the photograph!

Below will be glimpses of Manila Ocean and the flooded areas we walked through!

We were not alone in treading the flooded streets of San Marcelino.

Vehicles were not excused in the plight against the flood.

We also had the same situation with the fellows up there while crossing the road.

Blessedly, the drivers of motorcycles and cars were kind-hearted enough to stop let us pass through.

Here are more photos that I liked very much :)

A long wait 'til we knew when and where to walk through

A beautiful, dramatic, stolen shot of  a  patiently waiting princess :)

Lastly, it's the flood and I= our first shot together.

And this was actually my 4th encounter with it.

This will be one of the many things I'll be missing when I eventually graduate. (Haha)

Sadly, I lost the picture of Sol when we were in the bus. She only met us near SM and it was another blessing that she was right on time when the bus came!

Inside the bus, we were like students in a field trip. We had snacks to share with each other and drinks to pass from one person to another. Bonding has never been this possible and exciting. Truly, it was a splendid, unlikely fun-filled Saturday trip! :)

Married @ 18

On my "netbook clock" it's 4 minutes before my 18th birthday officially ends.

I'm too excited to blog for the first time using this netbook to keep this until tomorrow but at the same time I'm really too sleepy to make a long narrative.

In brevity, the way I've spend my 18th birthday is a special usual day. I did the usual thing- go to church and see people like it's an ordinary Sunday. Nothing so extraordinary since I even didn't have  a "blowout". 

Who made this day very special are the people who gave me their warmest greetings and made their own little way of making me feel like a princess.

But one thing that I can't get off my mind is the weird thing I should have considered unusual using my 16 year old, old self perspective- I'm not married @ 18.

I'm not sure if I delivered that one clear. Marrying when I turn 18 was my plan when I was 16! Haha. Laugh all you can 'cause I already had my share of laughter at the thought of my past!

I'm just too blessed that God had never let go of me especially during that stray, crazy days of mine. The Lord's steadfast love has carried me through every new year of my life. And from my turning point at age 16 up til now that I'm 18, He has planted in my heart His dreams for me that are far greater and grander than the unthinking illusion of being married at 18.:)
