Hello, Two Zero One Three!

26 Dec

end-of-year

Twelve months ago, I was in my room writing a New Year’s Resolution and a “Things I MUST Achieve by the end of 2012″ list. Time flew so fast that I didn’t notice the year I was preparing for months ago will end 4 days from now.

The year 2012 had been quite a challenging year for me (and probably for you too).  In my 16 years of existence, I could say that this year’s been the hardest. There were so many hardships I had to endure and challenges I had to face. Loss. Emotional Pain. Stress. EVERYTHING!

But despite the bumps and  mountains I went through on my journey, I had so much to be thankful for.

God has given me 100 x 100 times more blessings than my ‘problems’.

So, before this year (not the world, :D ) ends, let us all thank God for the great year He has given and pray that 2013 will be a better year for everyone. Pray that whatever challenges come to our way, we’d remain strong and faithful.

And also, if you had a bit of a  misunderstanding with someone, now might be the best time to reconnect and forgive. Let’s all start the year with love and hope in our hearts.

HAVE A GOOD LIFE! and HELLO, 2013!

XOXO, KC Cabrera

Merry Christmas!!!

24 Dec

Merry-Christmas-from-Bloggertone

 

Christmas is an annual commemoration of the birth of Jesus Christ and a widely observed holiday, celebrated generally on December 25 by millions of people around the world. A feast central to the Christian liturgical year, it closes the Advent season and initiates the twelve days of Christmastide. Christmas is a civil holiday in many of the world’s nations, is celebrated by an increasing number of non-Christians, and is an integral part of the Christmas and holiday season. (source: here)

Despite this year’s crisis (like the typhoons and earthquakes that had hit not just the Philippines but other countries as well, the horrible shooting in Connecticut,and even our personal problems, etc), we, Christians must be together and give thanks to Our Creator for the thousands of blessings he had bestowed upon us, and reconnect with our family and friends.

Gifts during the Christmas season are not necessary, what’s important is that you have each other and Jesus is in your hearts. But if you have extra pennies on your pockets, why not share, right? =D

Merry Christmas everyone, and God bless us all.

 

XOXO,

Happy Halloween!

31 Oct

Before my mum sends me to a place on Earth without an internet connection, let me say “THANK YOU” to some people who made an effort to check on my blog. Seriously guys, my blog gets only 15 views a day. poor me!

Anyway, as most of you lot is looking forward for a nice Halloween party and a nice scary story to tell, I’ll share my very own and true paranormal experience.

 ………………………………………………………………………………………

THE NURSE

My family and I went for a trip to watch a nice Christmas fireworks in the nearby city. Christmas season is the only time we get complete (from Grandma to my nephews and nieces). On our way back home, my cousin’s motor bike “malfunctioned”. He told me we had to stop. He said he needs to check what’s wrong.

And of all fucking places to stop, he chose to park in a cemetery. A dark, bloody scary cemetery. He knew that I’m a bit of a coward and I know he did that on purpose. You know, just to scare the crap out of me.

While he was “fixing” his bike, I made like a thousand calls to my mum and dad (and maybe few others) for help. Few minutes later, I saw a figure few meters away from us.  In all white. “oh no” I thought “This is the end of me”.

The figure came closer and closer and closer and I got more and more scared. Frozen, actually.

“Gaw (translation: Cousin), do you see that? White lady, I think”

My cousin turned and to my surprise, he wasn’t scared. ‘Amaw (silly), that’s no white lady. That’s a  nurse. Look at the cap!!”  This time, the figure is only 8 steps away.

“Oi! Don’t be scared! I’m just a nurse” said the figure.

“Amaw! I thought you’re something else.” I said, recovering from the fact that I’m seeing a nurse and not a ghost.

“I see you’re very scared. You’ve turned pale” said the figure.

“Don’t worry about her. She’s pale all the time” said my cousin.

“Why are you still here?”  said she.

“Oh, his bike malfunctioned. ” I said.

“And why are YOU here?” asked my cousin.

“Don’t worry with me. I’m with  my Papa. You know, you two should get going. Fix that bike as soon as possible and leave. It’s dangerous out here, especially now that a group of crazy murderers  roam around the city and just kill some innocent people they see.” she said, a bit concerned.

“Yeah…those braindeads could just shoot themselves, ya know. Decrease the  number of morons on Earth.” I quipped.

She laughed.

‘Ah…it’s done now. Just a few touches here and there. Voila!” said my cousin.

‘Stop showing off bastard.” I said. “So, uhm…we’re gonna go now” I said as I was climbing on to the bike. “Thank you…uh. Your name?”

‘******. ****** ** ******”

Just when she finished talking, my cousin stepped on the gas and almost made the bike fly. I wanted to protest but decided to just keep my mouth shut.

When we got home, I asked him why he reacted the way he did. Then I found out the truth.

****** ** ****** was a student of the  same university my cousin is in. She was a nurse in a hospital in the city and the kindest in the hospital. Two months ago she was kidnapped and was never found. Everyone assumed she’s dead since there were reported number of killings that time. That cemetery was the cemetery her papa was buried.

Her body has never been found. Until now, she is reported to be there. Giving warnings to passers-by at night.

Where do I see myself 10 years after

21 Oct

 

The most dreaded aspect of my educational life is probably when our teachers ask us to write an essay about where we see ourselves 10 years after. I remember writing about this cr*p since I was in 6th grade. And believe it or not, this question had been asked until now that I’m in my senior year. That’s like 5 years of writing the same sh*t. (Forgive my language, I had recently dreamt I was in England)

The short essay below wasn’t really the one I had submitted to my teacher. Just sharing. XD

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..

 

My pals had kept “wish list” – a list of what they want to do or what they want to achieve in the not-so-distant future. And I was no different. I, too, had kept a long list consisting of about 64 items of my “things to achieve” before I turn 30.

When I was five, I remember telling everyone of how badly I wanted to be a TV broadcaster. I do not know if I really wanted that or I was just corrupted of the idea that it was a job which meant fame and money.

Now that I’m sixteen, I am not sure if that is still what I want. Taste changes dramatically. The things I had wanted when I was young aren’t the same things I want now. And that is what makes writing an essay about where I see myself 10 years after a lot harder.

I truly have a lot of desires running in my funny little head. Yet, nobody knows who we are going to be ten years after. I might be an accountant, a doctor, or if God wills, might be a hell of a  lawyer.

There is one thing I’m sure though. Ten years won’t be enough to achieve my dreams. Success doesn’t come in just one flick of a finger. Though, I believe if I work hard, I might be halfway there.

 

Stay awake for that late afternoon class

 “Oh God, please don’t let my teacher see me sleeping” – Me in a Math class

Sleeping in class is bad. I mean, way too bad (especially if you get caught). But there  are those crazy times when you just can’t fight the urge of closing your eyes and SLEEP.

I had been a victim of this “Sleeping in Class” Syndrome. My eyelids where just so heavy and I can’t open them anymore, and whenever I try to, my teacher seemed to be a giant walking pillow to me. I tried my very best to stay awake but I failed. The next thing I knew, my classmates were all staring at me because I drooled. 

So to stay away from my greatest horror, I came up with 5 personal means of staying awake.

1. Mint Gums. I know this is an old line but they sure work. Pick the ones with really strong flavors that would keep you awake. They’re small bombs, you know. 

2. Sit up straight. Sitting like a vegetable will increase your chance of sleeping. I’ve tried that. Trust me. It’s better to sit up straight as this will help you focus on your teacher and the things he’s talking about.

3.  Stretch. I’m not asking you to to have a little “stretching” in front of your teacher, unless of course, you wanna get slapped in front of everyone. Excuse yourself, find a private place and move those joints.

4. Don’t think of falling asleep in class. Seriously, girl? Yes. I’m serious. That’s how Law of Attraction works. You think of sleeping in class, then you’ll find yourself sleeping. Think of something more positive like “It’s just an hour, I’ll learn a lot” (Visit this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_of_attraction for more of LOA.)

5. Sleep. Ditch your late-night parties, late-night TV’s and God knows what other late-nights it may be. Sleep on time so when you wake up in the morning, your lost energy are already replenished. Nothing beats a good night sleep, you know.
