You are born to stand out, always remember that.

Got this idea from Saab Magalona's blog post regarding Anti-Bully campaign. :)

Before I post my pictures, I want to tell a short recap of my past. I was a fat little girl way back, I used to be this chubby girl walking around my school and grab all the foods I want. (I am serious about this). I just started to lose weight when I was in my mid third year high school, and since then my weight was on lose-gain basis. Literally, I am that ugly duckling during those times, (tan complexion? pimples?) name it! I experienced all of those. HAHA!

So here it is. (Hindi to evolution ng man, evolution ata ng baboy)

I was like this before.

I was teased with this  "pa-cute" pose.

Say hi to your new gym instructor. ( I am laughing so hard now, HAHAHA! )

Every step in reaching the Peak

April 22, 2012.

All first-time hikers. 


My father was the one who insisted in "why not try Mt.Batulao in Batangas?". We had two guides for that day, Kuya Gilbert and Kuya Eric, who were office mates of my mother (which I should be thanking them so BAD, that because without them, I will not survived this day. HAHA!). Call time at 4 am, as usual I was late plus carried only 1 1/2 hours of sleep. Partly, I was so dizzy at the start of the trail. We started at around 5:30 in the morning, as we went along, I started to loosen up and started to appreciate every view that we passed by. All you can feel was the serenity of the place and the fresh breeze of air blowing by your face. 


Mt. Batulao have 10 peaks to go through, and every peak we had able to surpass was surely a big challenge of sweat, motivation and sacrifices to reach the top. Fresh buko juice, Mountain Dew and Halo-Halo were the all time favorites in every stop over. So imagine how the people struggled for a living in going up and down to earn money. And I want to take this opportunity to express my appreciation to the people living there for their warm welcomes and great hospitality to all hikers. :)


As promised by our guides, the view will never fail you and make your sacrifices all worth it. (Amen to this, the view was a 10.) The trail was our competitor that day. First, I slipped down and had this big mark of bruise at my right knee, not to mention I can't count how many times I slipped the entire time. And lastly, my mom and my little sister Isay gave up at the peak 8 (Boo? :)) you should be sorry guys for not completing the whole 10).


We reached peak 10, at around eight in the morning. And man, the feeling was so awesome. The view and the feelings of fulfillment were all mixed up in my brain. The feeling was indescribable, I promise. :) 


But the total challenge for me was the intense heat that day, plus the trail in going down the peak. IT WAS NOT EASY, and yes from that moment, I promised myself never to hike again. HAHA! (Yes, seriously.)


I gave up in going down, thus renting a horse of a resident to be my buddy was my only choice to finish the trail. And surely, I want to hug that horse for saving me in slipping and struggling my way down. The whole Mt. Batulao experience created a big impact to me. As a first timer, I never imagined myself to finish it (with the help of that horse, of course! haha.) and gained this wonderful experience that surely I WILL TREASURE my lifetime. It was all worth it, even with the muscle cramps the day after. :) 

FIRST SHOT. No signs of tiredness. :)))

Bound North

As my family started our Holy Week, we traveled all the way to Tarlac to celebrate with the Our Lady of Manaoag for the Palm Sunday. A lot of devotees were there, praying and welcoming Christ, which I must conclude that other nations should be seeing how Filipinos value our religion and how we pay tribute to all those blessings we are receiving to our Loving God. :">

Cause, WE Nurse the World

April 15, 2012 one of the most important event of my entire college life.

Been down for a while, transferred school and missed my friends. A lot of coping abilities, but I am very much proud of myself that even I struggled for one semester with the new environment and new faces, I still managed to love my now Alma Mater, Manila Doctors College or rather Manila Tytana Colleges.

Thankful to the experiences, the joy, the trials and most especially, to the people I now treasure from the two years I stayed in Madocs. I will be forever Lasallian, and also a proud Madocian, or better yet a Tytan.

To all those people who became part of my college life, I am blessed to meet you guys. I love you for making my college life worth it, and at most a memorable one. :">

And most importantly to my ever supporting family, that always been my inspiration all throughout. I LOVE YOU SO MUCH guys. I will never gone this far without you. <3

I can still stand up, no matter what.

Fixing myself now, and trying my best to complete my broken puzzle again. 

That will be my self-goal now, as I struggled to be whole again. To be whole not only to be a better me, but also find the lost Patty, that once gave everything to the that man, that gave me the reason to be this strong. Fighting back for the one you love, will always be a big irony to me. Once you fight back, there's no turning back, you should be prepared for all those things that may happen. But I guessed, I believed before that no matter what happened, I will still be the princess for him, that girl that he will be fighting for. 


What crazy about love is, you keep on using your heart and never gave your brain to control you, and instead of hurting, tells you to "STOP, MOVE ON". I hope that it will be easy to move-on in just a simple click, but as I walked to my journey of being a dumb ass for this man, I still can feel those pains, why ever I did something to fight for my feelings for this undeserving man. Undeserving for all those efforts to made him feel that I am here, I will always be here for you, to love, care and support you.
