Last June 4th to 6th I had one of my most exciting weekends ever! Just sharing my photos here. We had lunch at Rack’s with Ms. Janette Toral at Racks (SM City North Edsa). We checked out the mall then chilled out at Krispy Kreme before going to Quezon City Circle to meet with my cousin Jinky. After that we went to Bonifacio High Street to meet with Monica. Had dinner at Gerry’s Grill and coffee at The Coffee Bean. That was a super packed weekend! It was nice catching up with some of the most important people in my life.
A Happy Weekend!

I had an awesome weekend! And this post is so late. LOL. Last Saturday August 15th was the first meet-up of the Iloilo Bloggers. We had lunch at Fort San Pedro and discussed the future of our group. We elected a new set of officers and planned for future events and meet-ups. Congrats to Claire – our new President! The lunch and meeting was fun because everyone really had the best sense of humor. You should hear Efren and Junelle laugh! It was also great to see Marcos again and I’m glad to meet Antoine Greg in person. We are also recruiting Ronald to become a member of the group as well as some of Junnjun‘s friends!

And last Sunday, Tim went home to Kabankalan so I had the chance to hang out with my best pals Monica and Amy. We had lunch and coffee. I haven’t seen Amy since we went to Guimaras in May so we had so much stuff to ‘talk’ about. LOL. Monica and I meet often so I don’t miss her. Joke lang Nix!harhar!
MJ, Nicay & Mimay

SFC Provincial Conference – Maasin, Iloilo
I was offline for a couple of days because we attended the CFC-Singles for Christ: FORWARD IN CHRIST Provincial Conference at Maasin, Iloilo. It was a 2-day affair which started on Saturday, June 13th and lasted until noon of Sunday, June 14th. The theme of the conference was “Every single man and woman all over the world experiencing Christ.” We got to meet a lot of brothers and sisters from all over the province of Iloilo and we also got to bond with our Oton brothers and sisters. We had fun and it was really good to know that a lot of single people are still following Christ.
Here’s an excerpt of what we learned from the conference:
TALK 3: Forward in Christ
I can now move forward because I do so IN CHRIST! I will remember the posture of Jesus’ heart
C – Catholic
H – Humble
R – Radical
I – Intercessory
S – Sacrificial
T – Togetherness
Only with Christ Jesus will I be able to move forward in the right direction, with the right attitude and with sufficient LOVE.
Boracay Here We Come!
I’m writing this post just for the key word and see if how many people will stumble upon my blog if I rant about Boracay!
Anyway,we’re going to the beach! And not just the beach but the best beach in the Philippines! We’re actually going to Boracay! It’s the place to really hang out and chill, have fun with friends because it’s bursting with life! Just what I need! LOL
I will be going with Sev (my brother), Dianne (Sev’s girl and of course Tim (who else?!).
The best thing about my work is that you can do it anywhere as long as you have a laptop or computer with internet connection. So I’ll be working while vacationing. Not bad. I”m thinking of it as having a vacation while working not the other way around. Haha.
Although I’m not sure if I could write once I’m there. Go figure!
I’m so excited! Right now I’m just finishing all my tasks for the day so I won’t have to worry or think about anything later. Peace of mind is the key to a peaceful and satisfying vacation.
2 more hours to go and I’ll be gone!
Goodbye Grey’s Anatomy, I’ll be back!
We’re gonna have fun fun fun!
And this is completely off topic but I just don’t like people who doesn’t like Taylor Swift. Geesh I’m such a kid. LOL.
Well I’m out! Will blog about our vacation when I come back home and take some photos so I could make all you guys jealous and therefore make you all go on vacation too!
On Saturday will be Mamang’s birthday and we might go to Punta Villa too so we have to be back before that. And on Sunday Manny Pacquiao will make us proud again and we will be watching the fight at SM City Cinema for more fun fun fun!
I have a great life don’t I? 
Jesus You Are My Bestfriend!
Paris Hilton might be looking for BFFs but I have a BFF that she might want to meet too. My BFF is much more richer than Paris Hilton. He has given me life and a wonderful family. He has given me the best man. He has given me the best kind of friends. He has taught me a lot of lessons in life. He is always there when I need him, He doesn’t let me down and I know He never will. He gives me everything I want as long as it’s going to be for my betterment. He showers me with countless gifts, most of them priceless. He always listens to my rantings. Even if people don’t read every post of my blog I really don’t care because I know that He is always reading my blog posts although He doesn’t leave me a comment. LOL. He knows me better than everyone else. I can enumerate and list down countless things that my best friend is doing for me, but I can’t remember them all and it might take a lot of time but what matters is that He knows I appreciate everything that He’s done for me. I know I am not the “best” best friend but still he doesn’t give up on me. He’s still always there. Thank you so much Jesus – for being my best friend.
Well I just got home after hearing Mass at our Parish. I attended the 5AM Mass which was celebrated by Monsignor Gamboa. I am not used to going to church that early but I made an exception this time because my Singles for Christ community is the scheduled choir for the Mass. Last night we practiced the songs we will sing for the Mass until 10PM then I slept for like a couple of hours only because when I arrived home I had to do my daily tasks and then prepare my clothes for the Mass before I went to bed. I have trouble sleeping at night because being the nocturnal creature that I am – I’m used to working the night shift. But I did what I always do whenever I have trouble sleeping. And I will recommend this to everyone too! It has been one of my secrets but I decided to write it here in my blog so that people reading my posts will also discover this awesome cure for insomnia and be much closer to God as well. I talk to Jesus if I have trouble sleeping. Now how can I talk to Jesus? Well it’s this way – I don’t just pray, I also have a conversation with Jesus. Although He is not “answering” me I know and feel that He’s listening to me. I tell Him all the things I did on that day. I tell Him my worries, my problems. I thank Him for everything. I give Him praise. And I ask for His guidance for the next day again.Try it tonight, having a lengthy conversation with God instead of just praying will give you a peaceful mind therefore make you sleep peacefully as well.
Singing in the choir with SFC is just one of my ways of thanking Jesus and giving back. I know that it’s just a minor thing compared to everything He’s done for me but still in my own little ways I show Him my love and thanks. I just hope I will be with Him in heaven too. Make Jesus your best friend too starting today! I know you won’t regret it. After all, who wants paparazzis following you every second when your BFF is Paris Hilton right?
