10 Churches

What started out was a harmless idea of having to spend some quality time to one of my two closest friends in high school. Let’s dub in to the name of Kay and Rhea! Haha two beings who are opposites from each other but the differences made them a bond stronger than the bamboo shoots. No kidding and I was the middle weight girl who had short hair, chubby cheeks and a smile like a mouse!

Churches are of the things I like to visit; the art of every Christian people being carved unto these structural wonders. It’s quite fascinating for people in devoting their time of beautifying the sanctuary of holiness.

Ten churches were the target with 5:30 am in the morning the start off time. Too bad for me I have to wake up so early and head off with the meeting place.

Simala Sanctuary and St. Therese of the Child Jesus

Hold that thought; apparently I woke up around 4:30 in the morning, still in doubt if going with them was a good idea. I was still battling myself with sleepiness plus the soothe fabric made my nerves surrender. Thank God for a sms that made my decision to go with them and ditch review for the day. Pretty neat decision indeed...

Forget the target time; I usually make my own time. Even though the meeting place was a walking distance for me, I managed to spend some time to eat, find a decent shirt and drink my hot milo. Yes I was late! Precious the time may get but being late somehow runs in the family, except for my mother of course.

So below is the list of the ten churches we visited in order:

1. Simala Parish Church – Sibonga, Cebu
2. Basilica de Santo Nino- Osmena Boulevard, Cebu City
3. Cebu Metropolitan Cathedral- Mabini Street, Cebu City
4. Sto. Rosario Parish – P. Del Rosario Street, Cebu City
5. Sacred Heart of Jesus- D. Jakosalem Street, Cebu City
6. Archdiocesan Shrine of Blessed Pedro Calungsod- Archbishop's residence compound, Cebu City
7. Asilo de la Milagrosa- Gorordo, Avenue, Cebu City
8. St. Therese of the Child Jesus- Pasteur cor. Edison Sts., Lahug
9. Carmelite Montesory- Juan Luna Avenue, Cebu City
10. St. Joseph Patriach Paarish- Mabolo, Cebu City

Ironically some churches close their doors during free time of the day, example was the Redemptorist Church near the St. Therese College. No idea why they are close during noon time but it’s suppose to be open to the public right? Mostly it’s been a year since I came back visiting them again like in Simala, Carmelite and Shrine of Perdo Calungsod. My mother mentioned before about making a wish whenever you visit a church for the first time. First time I visited the St. Therese and Asilo churches, so I was able to make 2 wishes. I hope and pray so much for it to be granted! ^_^

Anyway we still manage to squeeze our time to visit the vicinities. Nothing kept us from getting our way, even if we didn’t have our own car and trusted the public vehicles to take us to our destinations. The weather was on our side too during the morning but it kinda poured down when we visited Carmelites. Going to and back from Simala was the awesome part. I never did get to chance to thank Mary after the NLE last year so I was doing a thanking with helping kind of petition.

I was tired totally with my legs shouting to stop since Kay preferred to walk most of the time. Walking is fine but when it’s under the scourging sun, that’s different. You’re literally giving yourself to the radiation of the sun. Mr. Sun who likes to barbecue everyone!

Sacred Heart of Jesus and Shrine of Pedro Calungsod

Started at 6:30 am and ended at 4:30 pm, not bad. And to think I was having second thoughts of not going to visit all ten in one day, booo for me before acting. That’s what you call a lazy bum!

Half of my Heart

Sadly there’s no other half or that kind of crap in my heart… no matter what I do that part of my life is sealed tightly… thus they sometimes call me ‘manhid’ o cold hearted

Ok I admit, I went numb due to reasons that I felt something, ‘something’ true. And I experienced it twice in my lifetime already… other words one sided.


One was way back in high school, he’s kinda big brother to me… I dunno since he was the one who always listened to me… I kept myself hidden, for like 2 years I guess, I lost count… confuse was the right word at that time since my battle for his friendship was prioritize more than what I felt. True, I did get hurt when he told me he liked someone. Ironically until now, they’re together but it made me realized that the hiding part was a ok since he still respect me as what I am. Oh about my feelings? They’re kinda gone… completely and time was really really the one who aided me since. I felt happy for them and I won’t be surprised if those two would end up getting married. Ha! I’ll be there witnessing it without any second thoughts.

Second happened in college, I fell for someone who was a complete loser! Hahhaha but he’s nice, very talkative and we have some similarities as well. I must say that we don’t get to talk that much before and I guess he sees me like an aquated friend. Still the question bugs me why on earth did I ever like him for the first place. Its like it happened suddenly, unlike earlier there was a constant exposure but this, all we did was smile, chit chat a lil and that’s it. Maybe I was really really drawn to him I guess. Aka this person is the reason why I started again to post to this blog. Booho! Just read the previous entries in 2008 about this one.

Yes the problem with me is that I really don’t like people to notice something… I dunno maybe I’m scared! Still when it comes to that aspect of life, I’ll fail perfectly. People surrounding me keeps asking me why oh why I’m still single… maybe ‘daw’ because I act funny o like a tomboyish way? What’s wrong with that, I mean that’s the me since elementary…for all I care but then yes sometimes it does get lonely when you’re the only one eating in a canteen or walking around alone last valetine’s day in the mall or even keep remembering that stupid date that they got hooked up… (Flashback again on the cr scene tsk tsk)

So if you ask what’s half of my heart?? Mostly it’s blank… or like a wet newspaper been splashed in the rain…


PS: OK! i'm getting pissed of in editing my previous entry! waaaah and my comment box is above the posts plus my shoutbox is missing! hahahai i think i need to renew everything!

Home Buddy HangOver

the weekend came and flew shortly without nothing to do.... i was a home buddy!

for the first time hahahaha, i think it was a message from God so that i could keep my dignity up! hehehhe talk about focusing on loosing weight hahaha

this reminds me of a friend of mine who well practically likes to stay at home and watch dvds, hmmmm he only goes outside to play basketball but the rest of the day, he stays at home... he does have wheels but the bugger prefers to hide in his sanctuary of dvds... which is weird becasue its like he's into korean movies now... hhaahahha a male watching korean movies doesn't quite mix together (my opinion!)

for the whole saturday, the computer was mine! it was well i played mostly on facebook! haaha technically i'm addicted to:

1. Restaurant City
2. RollerCoaster Kingdom
3. FarmTown (its like ages since i started playing this thing)
4. Ninja Saga
5. Mafia Wars (this i couldn't get enough of!)

there are like a bunch of other games that i'm addicted to but i guess these five here are my majors! hahaaha my new curriculum on this semester

oh yeah my cousin is still head over heels over the Korean hit "Boys over Flowers" and keeps playing this song over an over again:

this song was usaully played during sleeping time on the series hahhaha i guess it wasn't bad becasue the next thing i know, it was stuck on my head like glue!

plus one of its members was playing the role Woo Bin (Kim Jun) on the series, i guess that makes him talented hahaha, the dude can dance and sing er dunno the acting part.... well i'm not a huge fan, he does the rapping/talking in this song.. there's a dance version of this too were he sings and raps.. and oh yeah another thing, i guess he caught the H1N1 virus, spotted a comment in youtube that he was hospitalized.... wishes him his full recovery...
(ok that part was weird...)

about the song? hmmm basically its more like a break up song, in which the guy couldn't accept that there over, and he just can't give up on her, foregtting on what they had, and that he hates having bad thoughts on the girl for blaming her the end of the relationship and the list goes on and on....

sunday was simple except when night came hahahha, my bro had this idea of watching The Hangover movie... so to make it more fun we had to have snacks and drinks.... well the food was kropek (cooked by your's trully) and lipton ice tea... hahaha it was swell and funny

the movie had its issues but who cares, it was hilarious! hhahaaha
more like a movie for the guyz but the whole concept indeed paid off... keeping my ass off the floor with laughter until i can't keep up breathing hahaha talk about suicide!

i guess being a home buddy wasn't a bad idea after all...

oh yeah one more thing... it was a lucky day for me going through all those trouble with ease (stupid passport requirements!) still one person remained to be selfish in getting her work done even if i already declared that i had other important things to matter... stupid maybe she should take the nclex all by herself and i on the other hand would find another partner to my crime! hmp!

the treatment: popcorn! and some good old movie about dogs! ^^
