The Bet

These days, FYI, I don't really know what to do. As you guys know, our city is still recovering from typhoon Santi so some establishments and even the electricity are still on the recovery mode. 

But thank God that yesterday, we were able to visit the mall (it felt like the first time hahaha), and I immediately went to NBS. But sadly, the books I have been looking for aren't yet available in the store. Though gladly, the BookSale branch has a copy of The Bet. BUT, only one copy was left so I thought that maybe the copy was really meant for me. Hihi. 

I wasn't able to read that book afterwards because there was no longer light, so I decided to read it today. And I'm proud to say that I finished it. I am not saying that the book is thin, in fact, Summit Media amazes me again because the book has 200+ pages! I guess the reason why I finished it just this day because I couldn't actually take my hands off the book, really. I wasn't able to read it on Wattpad so the story was new to me. The story itself is moving and wonderful. 

Kuddos to its author, Kimberly Villanueva, the story is not a boring and not that typical. I swear, each chapter will make you excited. I promise. 

I know it's painful and sad that you are the pawn on a bet but this story indeed will still make you know and will make you feel how happy it is to be loved by someone. 

The book itself teaches lessons too. That's why it is worth your time and money. 

I must say, if you don't do anything right now, better have a copy of this book already! It's 195php and really worth every peso!!! 

Don't make Drake wait, baby. *winks*

Tour 2K13

Yup, it was that time of the year again. An event where almost every student is excited about, full of plans with friends and even teachers. A day wherein you just ride in the bus together with your classmates to the point that you feel infinite. Naks. 

This year's tour was not as special as last year's (my real friends know why), the destinations were also not that exciting, BUT, that day became special together with my friends. We went to Manila and only to Manila, same old destinations but having your friends with you is just surreal.

The first stop was Manila Ocean Park, to be honest, it was my first time there but I had already seen photos from inside before so the place was not kinda new to me anymore. But somehow, I appreciate it because I love the water and I know how to swim. (Yes, I musy get proud)

Second, we ate in Mall Of Asia. At first, we didn't know where to eat because we were saving our money but my friends ended up in Greenwich while I ended up eating at Pancake House. Hahaha! Didn't regret a thing, though. Pork Vienna has always been the best. I also wanted to buy Nike Free Trainer shoes but I had no money for it. Guess, I should be taking my mother with me when I visit a Nike store again. 

Third one, we went to Aliw Theater to watch The Pirate (a ballet play). Honestly, it was really good although many student just slept inside the theater. Lol. The ballerinas were amazing! 

Last one was.. Star City. I don't have much to talk about in here because I was just able to ride in Vikings but that ride never fails to make me shout real hard. I was almost crying. Haha! 

All in all, I had fun.. Together with my friends. I'm happy to be able to add more memories for my Throwback when the day comes. :) 

Looking forward for next year's! Sana naman hindi na kami sa Manila nanaman! 

Seminar about being a citizen

When my class adviser told me that I'll be attending a seminar on a Saturday all-day, I thought twice. I had been so busy this week and all I wanted to do was to rest on a Saturday. But since, I am the class president, I had to come. No choice. 

All I thought was, it was gonna be a boring one or just a typical seminar wherein sleeping is the best thing to do. But man, I was so wrong! The seminar turned out to be one of the bests I've ever been to! Yup, I attended a seminar which mainly talked about a child's rights as well his responsibilities and duties as a citizen. 

It was handled by our Guidance Counselor, who is also a teacher who's very close to my heart, Ma'am Noliza Pararuan. The first lecturer was her husband Mr. Arcie Pararuan. I was so suprised. They both have the same passion when it comes to God and bringing people on the right path. 

The highlight of his lecture was sharing these 3 topics: Profile of the young, Ego Extension and Values clarification. Each topic was exerted very well. 

He also shared these words of wisdom that will surely help me/us. I learned that every God's creation is to be treasured and respected. 

•For every actions we make, we attach a personal meaning. 

•Behind every decision we make indicated by a value. 

•There is nothing better to be accepted for who you are. 

The second lecturer was Scihi's favorite, I must say, Mrs. Sherry Joy M. Yrigan. She shared all about Behavior Management and how to act our age. She said that there's always a purpose for everything. And that, all the people are good. But the thoughts, words and motives become the bad. 

She also shared the ABC's Behavior Management:

A-Antecedent

B-Behavior

C-Consequences 

6 life skills to learn:

•Attachment 

•Self-Regulation

•Initiative

•Problem solving

•Respect--(I have unique gifts and challenges and so others). True enough.

The last speaker was my Grade 7's Filipino teacher's daughter, Ma'am Helen Wycoco. Her daughter is a lawyer, Atty. Zeya May D. Wycoco. Gosh, she's so beautiful.

She introduced us the laws and the things we needed to avoid for us not to humiliate ourselves and our parents. Now, seriously, I am so afraid to do a bad thing after that seminar. LOL.

All in all, I had a great experience with my friends. This is truly one of the best seminars! Looking forward to the next one!

Operation: Break The Casanova's Heart

First and foremost, I won't be able to include pictures of the book right now because as soon as I finished reading the book, a friend of mine borrowed it. But, I'll edit this blog post and include some photos soon.

Yup, thank heavens! Alyloony also known as Aly Almario's greatest story, Operation: Break The Casanova's Heart is now officially a book! Yes, a published book of Summit Media, under Pop Fiction category. 

I was so glad to see the outcome of the published book, really. Like some of you, I had already seen and read the Wattpad version of it last year. And, I must say, I was satistified by the book version. All of my favorite scenes and the scenes I could still remember were still there. Yup, it's worth your 175pesos. Honestly speaking. 

My bestfriend gave it to me as her birthday gift and even though I was in classes, I couldn't take off my hands.. The book is like a journey. And once again, Stephen Cruz (the main guy character) made me feel the same kilig I felt when I read it on Wattpad. Hihihi!

Stephen and Naomi's love story never gets old. The contract's story never gets boring. I think, some of the reasons why teenagers nowadays love the story so much. 

So, what are you waiting for?!? It is still available in all bookstores nationwide! The price of the book is 175pesos. If you already have it, buy it again and share the story to your loved ones most especially to your friends. A lot of lessons can be learned from the book itself also. 

Alyloony, you did such a great great job there! Kudos!

It is really the best Casanova story for me.

KathNiel is love <3

KN. If you probably hear the word "KN", many meanings can be attached to it. But for MOSTLY Filipino teenagers, KN means  KathNiel. Yup, KATHryn Bernardo and daNIEL Padilla. The hottest and most popular loveteam of this generation. True enough. 

There are so many loveteams now but for me, KathNiel is really one of the strongest and best loveteams. Why? Because the way they make the "kilig" is just natural. No artificial flavor. Just pure heart. <3 #anodaw But it's true. 

One thing why I love about KathNiel is that they're just comfortable to each other. I mean, yeah, you must be comfortable to your ka-loveteam but like what I've said, they're just natural. One thing also why there are already million fans KathNiel has. Amazing, isn't it? 

It is also suprising to see a good-girl-look-girl with a bad-boy-look-boy (don't get me wrong about that, trust me, DJ is the hottest male star ever). Alam mo yung tututukan mo talaga yung loveteam nila kasi may thrill. Right? :"> 

Kathryn is a simple girl but so beautiful. While Daniel is just.. Perfect. Everytime you see the both of them or just one of them, automatic na yata yung kikiligin ka agad kahit wala silang ginagawa eh. Aminin! :p

I don't know if they already confirmed their relationship but dude, I am praying they will end up together. Because they are so perfect together. Seeing KathNiel photos say it all. 

We don't know how they really feel for each other because they only the ones who know, but I could conclude, they really love and care for each other. I think if they won't end up together (IF), they will be very good friends. As in. 

I hope they will make more movies and teleseryes. But if they will be paired up to other, KathNiel fans will always be there. Even. Steady. True. Right? :) 

To all KathNiel fans, I salute you for being so active all the times. The love you have for the both of them is amazing, no one could ever replace. Keep on supporting them and I know you guys will. 

It is still not the 26th but advanced Happy KathNiel day, KNs! <3

Why I admire Kathryn Bernardo

All humans are made by God, that means they are all beautiful. But there are really some who are so blessed with a pretty face. Kathryn Chandria Manuel Bernardo also known as Kath started in showbiz since she was a little girl up to now that she is already 17 years old, one year left of becoming a lady. 

Personally, I really like almost everything about Kath, most especially her face and her eyes. Just like what my tita told us, "Yung mga mata niya are really mesmerizing." True enough. We all have our own definition of what "beautiful" is, we all have our standards but Kath is really beautiful in so many ways. We all know that in showbiz, as soon as you appear on TV, agad agad may Twitter fanpage ka na, diba? People will admire you, people will stalk you, people will know almost everything about you. But I admire Kath for being down to earth and accommodating towards her fans. We haven't met each other yet but seeing tweets from fans, they say it all. 

I also admire Kath because of er gorgeous style and having the nicest clothes. Whenever she wears her RayBan aviators.. Sht, did I just see a goddess?! Her glamteam is wonderful. But with or without make-up, Kath is always beautiful. 

I also admire her for not forgetting her studies. In fact, she does her best to balance her studies and showbiz career. What a perfect example to the youth! Even though, she already can provide her own needs still she aims to be a college graduate. 

Tita Min Bernardo must be so proud of this girl. Her own family, actually. Her parents raised her so well. 

Lastly, how could I forget, the sweetest and the kindest fandom! Everytime I tweet about Kath, they never fail to amuse me. They are so active and I can really feel the love they have for Kathryn! Hands down to you, guys. As I've said, Kath must be so proud to all of you. Continue supporting and loving her because honestly, you did a great decision of choosing her as your idol. No kidding. 

I am afraid this will take so long now. Haha. Continue watching Got To Believe! Gosh, our lola really loves the teserye so much. 

All the love for Kath!!! All hail to the Teen Queen! Love you, Kath and fans!!! 

Total Girl: Girl Talk Section

Yes, I know, I know, I have been so MIA lately (do I still have readers out there?! Lol) and I feel so sorry about that. You know, school stuff plus personal life (aka love life--LUMALABLAYP?!) and other things came in the way. How could I ever forget the 1st qtr examinations, performances and the releasing of cards! Thank God, I didn't have so low grades. I still have a home to sleep, don't worry. 

Anyway, I'd like to share you this wonderful blessing God gave me. Last July, Total Girl Philippines asked TGs about a thing most tweens get worried about. I emailed them my answer then luckily they replied to me! I won't take this too long, afterwards, I got an email from them. Yup yup, I am one of those lucky TGs who got featured on its September ish!

Don't miss the chance most especially Directioners! It is available in all newsstands, supermarkets and bookstores nationwide! 

Thank you so much to Total Girl Philippines for giving this chance to me!! So happy to be part of its Anniversary ish! It may not be a big deal to some but for me it is! HELLO, TOTAL GIRL IS TOTAL GIRL :p And the last chance to see myself on the mag because they have an age limit up to 13 years old. FYI, I'll be turning 14 this 14! Huhu, still happy though!
