More inspiration.

Less drama.

Less heartache.

May we all have a wonderful 2015 and God bless us all! :D

Goodbye 2014...

Less than 6 hours before the last page of 2014 ends!

It's been a great, crazy, happy, wild, stressful, fun year. A lot had happened that changed our lives either a little better or a little not so better. Things that taught us lessons, people that changed our lives, memories we will keep forever. I'm so thankful for those who stayed with me throughout the year, the people I always laugh with, the people I go crazy with, the people who are my life. The people I got mad with but still I love. I'm also thankful for everything that I had, experienced, got, and everyone I met, reunited with, and everywhere I've been to.

2014 has been good to me. It taught me so much in life from appreciating myself to letting myself trust my judgement. It's also been a hard year but thanks to my family and friends who always supported me that I got through it. Now another year is coming and I hope it would be better than this year. I know 2014 has been a blast but I hope 2015 would be even better!! :)

Goodbye 2014, Hello 2015! :D

CHRISTMAS 2014! :D

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

Aly, Yana, Ate Anne, Dez :)

We had our annual reunion last Dec 25th and it was fuuuuun! Everyone was there except for those who are in the states which were a lot including Daddy and the family of Tita Dorris.

The host was the family of Lolo Ruding. We started past 7 in the evening with a prayer then dinner since everyone was already hungry. There were a lot of foods, pasta, chicken, beef, pork and everyone enjoyed them. Then we proceeded with fun games, first for the kids then for us teens (even if I'm not a teen anymore), then for adults. The game for us was charades and it was crazy fun! We were grouped by 6, on my team I had my sisters, Yana and Ate Anne, then Tita Terry and my cousins, Angeline and Ate Arlene. On the other group were Tito, my cousins, Kenneth, JJ, Inah, Rainne and Tita Tess. It was charade with a twist. In the usual charade there's only one who will act and the rest will guess what he's trying to act. But in our game, only one will guess what the rest were trying to act. Our category was Disney Movies and of course we won because my sisters and I are Disney addicts. There was also one round and it was funny because all we had to do was point to our faces then to Tito who was on the other group. By that Ate Anne already got the answer Beauty and the Beast and everyone laughed. Lol. 

(Beauties)         and the         (Beast)

We had a couple more games before picture taking and gift giving.

 Uncle (single) , Tito with Tita Cris, Tita Terry with Tito Alex, Lolo Reny, Tita Lisa with Tito Paras and Tita Tess.

(Insert Daddy and Mommy somewhere. Hihi.)

We all had a good time and we really enjoyed the night. This reunion is the only time of the year where we can catch up with each other especially when most of us live far away now like in the US and only come back during Christmas. It was a night well spent with my family.

 From OCAMPO Family, MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! :D

Day 1. A Christmas Prayer.

Wasn't able to post this last December 25th but this was my Christmas Prayer.

Jesus, Happy Birthday! We've been waiting for this day to come and now it's finally here. Happy Happy Birthday! We thank you for being born here with us. I have a lot of wishes right now but there are only two I ask today, for everyone to be happy and World Peace. :) Thank you and I love you! :)

It was a simple prayer but it came from my heart. 

Merry Christmas!

Day 3. Make a Christmas Card.

My Christmas Card. 

Didn't show the inside anymore coz it's kinda personal, (if you know what I mean.) :)

Day 4. Favorite Christmas Movie.

There are a lot of awesome Christmas movies. There are the Home Alone series, The Polar Express, A Christmas Carol and of course the Hallmark Channel Christmas Movies. I love Christmas movies that I watch them again and again even if it's not Christmas. 

One of my favorites is Christmas is Boston. It's a story about two pen pals who are supposed to meet each other after years of just writing to each other. The girl lives in Boston and so it happens that the guy, a toy inventor, has a toy convention to attend to in Boston. Everything is great except for one little tiny lie they send to each other. They're supposed to send a picture of them but they send the photo of their bestfriends instead.  Now as the time of their meeting gets closer, the girl has to tell her bestfriend about what she's done and make her agree to meet the guy. The guy needs to convince his bestfriend too.The story gets better when their bestfriends start to fall with each other. It's a funny and good movie about friendship, love and everything in between.

Day 5. Give or Receive?

It always feels nice if you receive something from someone. But doesn't it feel nicer if you give something to someone seeing that you make him/her happy? 

I like the idea of giving without asking something in return. It just shows that you feel good about sharing or giving something to people and it makes you happy because you know that you make them happy. Giving is an act that makes you closer to other people. It makes you feel good and it makes you closer to God. God loves generous people so if you are generous then God is closer to you. :)

12212014

Day 6. Best Gift you want to receive.

It's always great to receive gifts from someone. Especially when it's something you really really want. A bag, a book, a gadget or some action figures you really love.

There's only one gift I really really want to receive this Christmas. I would say "World Peace" but it's already a cliche so I wouldn't say it. Instead I want a ticket. I don't care where just as long as it's somewhere I haven't been to. Somewhere new. Coz isn't it nice to go somewhere new with a lot of things to discover and new people to meet? I love going to different places so a ticket would be a really nice gift this Christmas! :)

12202014

Day 7. Describe your Perfect Christmas Day.

 My family. My friends. Christmas Eve Mass. Noche Buena. Gifts. Laughter.

These would be enough for me.

Spending the day with my family and friends just having a good time and a lot of laughter would be my perfect Christmas Day. And of course with a lot of foods. :)

12192014

Day 8. Christmas Wishlist.

I'm a simple girl with simple wishes in life.  

My Christmas Wishlist:

1. World Peace! :D

2. Any Colleen Hoover book. (Or all would be great!)

3. 2015 Planner.

4. Ed Sheeran Concert Ticket. :">

5. A boyfriend. (If only) :P
6. A Ticket.

I hope Santa would see this list and grant me even just one. Or all. :))

Day 9. A Favorite Christmas Tradition.

Simbang Gabi has always been a Christmas tradition to us Filipinos. It is where we spend 9 days/nights attending masses and anticipating the birth of Jesus Christ. We believe that when we complete these 9 days/nights of simbang gabi then God will grant us a special wish. 

I've been attending Simbang Gabi for 8 years now. We started going with our Grandmother but now it's just me, yana and aly. And I've always wanted to go with my whole family but I guess timing is never on our side. But I still hope that one day the 6 of us will get to attend it together.

Now it's the 3rd day of simbang gabi and we're attending the 4am mass. Six to go and only 8 days until Christmas!

12172014

Day 10. An Old Christmas Photo of You.

(Ate Anne, Dez, Yana)

 

I'm not sure how old I was in this photo but I still can remember that smile. I was happy, we were happy because it was Christmas! :)

Day 11. A Favorite Christmas Carol.

There are so many good Christmas Carols but my favorite is Frosty the Snowman. I don't know why but it makes me sing along everytime it is playing. I just love it. 

And try not to sing along.

Another song that I love is My Grown Up Christmas List by Kelly Clarkson. It is one of those many Christmas songs that makes me feel the spirit of Christmas. It's a nice song. :)

12152014

Day 12. A Picture of your Christmas Tree.

It's not as beautiful as the others but we love this Christmas Tree. We used to put this up with our Grandmother when she was still alive so this really has so many good memories. :)

Summer in November ☂ ☂

It's never too late to have summer in November, right?

So my friends and I were off from work so we decided to have a little out of town. :) We went to Puerto Galera last November 15th and it was a nice trip. We enjoyed it and had so much fun though it was just an overnight. It was also our first out of town as a group in 8 years so we were really excited!

The trip was freakin' 7 hours because; 1.) Larra was late. 2.) The boat had some problem so we had to stop for almost half an hour in the middle of the ocean and 3.) We had a lot of stop overs. But still, it was a nice trip. 

It was two days of just swimming, eating, snorkeling, drinking, chatting, having fun and EATING! 

 Spending time with them made me realize how blessed I am to have bestfriends like them. They never fail to make me smile or laugh or feel better everytime. We've known each other for almost 9 years now and still we always surprise each other with new things every time we're together. And it's nice to get to know them even more and more though we've been bestfriends for a long time already. 

Next time we want to have a longer vacation maybe in Palawan or somewhere else. Hopefully it happens soooon! :)

Meet the Girls. And the boy.

 Dez                        May                      Larra

Marc                    Joseph

These people are my bestfriends and I will always always love them. In happiness and sorrow, in sickness and in health, in payday and in poorita day, til we have more Mauie Angela or Alexander.

Story: Name of Love ♥

"There's a special girl for me in the crowd tonight." Will scans the sea of people in front of him. He's sure she's there. "She's beautiful. And funny and smart and sometimes she can be a pain in the ass." The crowd laughs. His eyes continue on searching until they found her. She's standing by the right side of the stage, wearing her favorite black shirt, her hair down just the way Will wants it and she has a smile brighter than the spot light scanning the the crowd. Will continues. "I know I call you names." Now he's talking to her. "Angeline, Arlene, April, Beth, I even call you Zelda... It's not that I don't know your name, I do, believe me I do. I know it like I know my own name. It's just that I don't want to call you that. I don't want others to know your name because I want me to be the only one who gets to call you that. I want it to be mine..." Now he's smiling. Because her smile makes him smile. And he never once takes his eyes off her because he likes watching her. "So Alli," he continues. "Jez Allison Dawson... will you be mine?" The crowd roars. They begin cheering and jumping and looking for that girl Will is talking to. Soon they start chanting, "Say yes! Say yes! Say yes!" It's been a while until will adds, "Forever, if you don't mind." And finally, the spotlight found her. Crying in the sea of people is Alli with her Downtown Prince album. Immediately, Will makes his way to her, stopping just enough to give them space, just enough for him to reach out and wipe her tears away. The crowd also quiets down. "So, are you just going to cry there?" His fingers gently touches her cheeks. She's still crying but when she speaks, the smile is back on her face. "No. Actually..." She pauses to compose herself. "I plan on kissing you." It's like everything slows down when Alli wraps her arms around Will's neck and grabs him down so she can reach him. And when Alli finally closes the distance between them, Will knew it was the best damn night of his life.

And so Will finally found the name of love. Jez Allison Dawson.
And he likes it... No, he loves her.

I Want To...

I want to feel like flying...

I want to feel like I'm on the top of the world...

I want stolen kisses...

I want sweet surprises...

I want good morning texts...

I want goodnight hugs...

I want midnight road trips...

I want to walk in the clouds...

I want a hand a camera...

I want second chances...

I want to fall in love...

A Love Story Could Begin Anywhere ♥

Twenty two years I've been praying

All my life I've been longing,

For your hands and face and your lips,

I've been waiting for that kiss...

How do you know if he's the one?

If he can make you smile? If he can make your bad day good? If he can make you feel beautiful in your ugliest day?

How do you know if he's the one?

If you feel good around him? If he can make you laugh when he tells you a corny joke? If you don't feel tired after a long day just because you're with him?

How do you know if he's the one?

I don't know. I think you'll just feel it.

Just trust your heart and feel it. :)

Book: Maybe Someday by Colleen Hoover

★★★★★/★★★★★

"I need you to hear this... I will never regret you." 
- Ridge to Sydney

I fell in love with Colleen Hoover because of this book. It was my first book of her and it was just right that I picked it up. I stayed up all night just to finish this because I really loved the story. Everything about it was perfect even the music. It made me smile, cry and fall in love all over again. It's perfect. And I knew when I finished it that I have a new favorite book.

Synopsis from Goodreads:

At twenty-two years old, aspiring musician Sydney Blake has a great life: She’s in college, working a steady job, in love with her wonderful boyfriend, Hunter, and rooming with her good friend, Tori. But everything changes when she discovers Hunter cheating on her with Tori—and she is left trying to decide what to do next.

Sydney becomes captivated by her mysterious neighbor, Ridge Lawson. She can’t take her eyes off him or stop listening to the daily guitar playing he does out on his balcony. She can feel the harmony and vibrations in his music. And there’s something about Sydney that Ridge can’t ignore, either: He seems to have finally found his muse. When their inevitable encounter happens, they soon find themselves needing each other in more ways than one…

Maybe Someday -- Colleen Hoover

Thinking Out Loud by Ed Sheeran ♫♪

 Lyrics:

When your legs don't work like they used to before
And I can't sweep you off of your feet
Will your mouth still remember the taste of my love?
Will your eyes still smile from your cheeks?

And, darling, I will be loving you 'til we're 70
And, baby, my heart could still fall as hard at 23
And I'm thinking 'bout how people fall in love in mysterious ways
Maybe just the touch of a hand
Well, me—I fall in love with you every single day
And I just wanna tell you I am

So honey now
Take me into your loving arms
Kiss me under the light of a thousand stars
Place your head on my beating heart
I'm thinking out loud
That maybe we found love right where we are

When my hair's all but gone and my memory fades
And the crowds don't remember my name
When my hands don't play the strings the same way
I know you will still love me the same

'Cause honey your soul could never grow old, it's evergreen
And, baby, your smile's forever in my mind and memory
I'm thinking 'bout how people fall in love in mysterious ways
Maybe it's all part of a plan
Well, I'll just keep on making the same mistakes
Hoping that you'll understand

But, baby, now
Take me into your loving arms
Kiss me under the light of a thousand stars
Place your head on my beating heart
Thinking out loud
That maybe we found love right where we are

So, baby, now
Take me into your loving arms
Kiss me under the light of a thousand stars
Oh, darling, place your head on my beating heart
I'm thinking out loud
That maybe we found love right where we are
Oh, baby, we found love right where we are
And we found love right where we are

Good Girls by 5 Seconds of Summer ♫♪

Lyrics:
Do do do d-do do do do do do

She's a good girl
She's Daddy's favourite
He's saved for Harvard
He know she'll make it
She's good at school
She's never truant
She can speak French
I think she's fluent

'Cause every night she studies hard in her room
At least that's what her parents assume
But she sneaks out the window to meet with her boyfriend
Here's what she told me the time that I caught 'em

She said to me:
"Forget what you thought
'Cause good girls are bad girls that haven't been caught.
So just turn around and forget what you saw
'Cause good girls are bad girls that haven't been caught."

Whoa oh oh oh- oh whoa oh
Good girls are bad girls that haven't been caught
Whoa oh oh oh- oh whoa oh
Good girls are bad girls that haven't been caught

She's a good girl
A straight A student
She's really into
All that self-improvement
I swear she lives in that library
But if you ask her she'll say
"That's where you'll find me!"

But if you look then you won't find her there
She may be clever but she just acts too square
'Cause in the back of the room where nobody looks
She'll be with her boyfriend
She's not reading books!

She said to me:
"Forget what you thought
'Cause good girls are bad girls that haven't been caught.
So just turn around and forget what you saw
'Cause good girls are bad girls that haven't been caught."

Do do do d-do do do do do do
Good girls are bad girls and good girls are bad girls
Do do do d-do do do do do do
Good girls are bad girls and good girls are bad girls

She's a good girl
(She's a good girl)
Hasn't been caught
(She's a good girl)
She's a good girl
(She's a good girl)
Hasn't been caught... caught... caught... caught... caught... caught... caught... caught...

She said to me:
"Forget what you thought
'Cause good girls are bad girls that haven't been caught.
So just turn around and forget what you saw
'Cause good girls are bad girls that haven't been caught."

She said to me:
(She said to me)
"Forget what you thought
'Cause good girls are bad girls that haven't been caught.
So just turn around
(Just turn around)
And forget what you saw
'Cause good girls are bad girls that haven't been caught."

Whoa oh oh oh-oh whoa oh
Good girls are bad girls that haven't been caught
Whoa oh oh oh-oh whoa oh
Good girls are bad girls that haven't been caught
Whoa oh oh oh- oh whoa oh
Whoa oh oh- oh oh whoa oh
Good girls are bad girls that haven't been caught
