New Year, New Me

New Year is coming!

I can feel and I'm having faith that the coming year will be one of my greatest years!

Yeah! Good vibes come to me!

We were at the beach this afternoon, at Phillip Island. We had so much fun. The water was cold though (haha). Good thing I don't have any plans of swimming there. But I did like the coolness of it. :) It's a new beach! I'm in a new beach. Whew! The last time I was in the beach was at Mergrande Ocean Beach Resort having the Feast of WCG. :) That time, I had so much fun, too. Well, what's with beaches that I could feel sort of different kind of joy and excitement? Maybe, it's the child-like in me that gives me that certain feeling. :) And then I realized, not only the beach is new, the people around me is new, what I see everywhere is new. So many new things are coming my way. Thank you God.

Then I was thinking, tomorrow would be New Year's Eve already. I can still remember this year's new year's day. (haha) praying to God about something. And ending the year 2009, I can say, God has been so good in His own ways on writing my life story this year! It was a BANG! :D So this coming year, 2010, what could happen to me?

I know what will happen. There would be a new me. 'New' in a sense that I would be better in everything I do having God by my side.

This coming year I would:

- be a better person: a better daughter, a better sister, a better partner, a better friend, a better person to everone around me, a better child of God;

- be having a job! Weeeh!;

- have many blessings; and

- be used by God in the ways that He wants: to love and care more for all the people around me, could be the old ones or new ones in my life, explore his goodness in this new place, seek Him with all my heart and see what He has instored for me here.

New me but would still be the Carla, the Aiamiming, the On-g, the Christine you know that loves you truly.

Happy New Year to everyone!

Brick by Boring Brick

She lives in a fairy tale

Somewhere too far for us to find

Forgotten the taste and smell

Of the world that she's left behind

It's all about the exposure the lens I told her

The angles were all wrong now

She's ripping wings off of butterflies

Keep your feet on the ground

When your head's in the clouds

Well go get your shovel

And we'll dig a deep hole

To bury the castle, bury the castle

Well go get your shovel

And we'll dig a deep hole

To bury the castle; bury the castle

So one day he found her crying

Coiled up on the dirty ground

Her prince finally came to save her

And the rest you can figure out

But it was a trick

And the clock struck 12

Well make sure to build your house brick by boring brick

or the wolves gonna blow it down

Keep your feet on the ground

When your head's in the clouds

Well go get your shovel

And we'll dig a deep hole

To bury the castle, bury the castle

Well you built up a world of magic

Because your real life is tragic

Yeah you built up a world of magic

If it's not real

You can't hold it in your hand

You can't feel it with your heart

And I won't believe it

But if it's true

You can see it with your eyes

Or even in the dark

And that's where I want to be, yeah

Go get your shovel

We'll dig a deep hole

To bury the castle, bury the castle

Christmas in Aussie

Hmmm. Kept on searching for that feeling of Christmas spirit in the air. Where is it?! Why can't I feel it like I used to feel it before? Maybe because I'm in another place, a new place which is so different from where I used to be. Damn! I'm missing home :( But, I must be happy because it's Christmas! :))

Well, we had our first Christmas party (23/12/09) at Tita Fely's place and it was so lovely :D. We ate yummy food prepared by Tita Fely of course, and by my Momi too :)). After having dinner, me, Ate Jo, and JC went outside for a walk, and it was really nice. We went up the hill and saw some cute rabbits, haha. Ate Jo was able to show us her primary school back then because it was just near their place :) When we got back, we opened our Christmas presents. Wow! I had so many! Weeeh :D Then, we had the karaoke playing! We had fun that night. Thank You God for that nice evening.

The day after (24/12/09;after lunch), we went to Knox with Ate Jo and JC. Ate Jo wasn't able to buy some of her must-have for Christmas Eve so we just followed her around. And while walking and walking, we went to different shops and she was able to buy many things by then! haha. Even if they were not included in the list. She is just so nice, and I just love Ate Jo so much! Then, we went back home. And when we got home, Aaron and Shannon were around. Just reminded me about being invited to go with them at Loulou's. Hmmm, and so I ended up going out with them. I was quite anxious when we got there just because I'm meeting new people again. But, they were nice so my anxiety level just got down :). I enjoyed that night, really. It had fun being with new people even though it was my first time to be with them, and take note, it was my first time being in that kind of place having drinks and dancing all night long! I didn't even notice that it was midnight already! And hey! It's Christmas. . .

It was different. The feeling, the fun. Christmas is here. I must be happy. Even if it was quite a big difference from home, I did enjoy every moment. I still have certain feelings inside that can somehow make me sad, and even cry, but I know this is where I must be. God is just so great in His own ways and because of that my heart is feeling this kind joy this Christmas season. :)

Relax

I haven't done much today. I was out of bed at around 10:30 am and had my breakfast by then. Hmmm. Nothing much to do, and if I would let my self be hooked again on Facebook, I would end up having migraine again! >.< Sheesh.

Well, I had no choice. I did log in on Facebook, but haven't done much there. Maybe because I have no photos to upload or maybe because there were no significant persons online. But after a few minutes, My Part (Bombet) was online in YM. :) Weeeh! And so we did talk about some stuff going on there in Davao and here in Aussie. But after two hours or so, well I have to do some other stuff (I don't have to mention them here, haha) So, I let JC have the computer for him to use.

Included on the 'stuff' that I have to do was to finish reading the application forms about the NBV (Nursing Board of Victoria). When we got here, maybe two days after, Tito Sarath and I printed some application forms and some other forms that I must know regarding their nursing style here in Aussie. And by reading those, I realized that there are still so many things to do! >.<

I remembered what Tito Sarath said, that we'll do those stuff next month, or next year in that sense. What should I feel then? I'm actually in the middle of finding myself unproductive because I haven't been working for too long now. :( But maybe, God is telling me to be patient enough and to relax a bit more. I wanna work already, but maybe I have to take the steps slow for things to be better. :)

So now, I'm telling myself:

"Relax Christine. Everything will just come to it's place in His given time."

ONE LOVE

Higher than the sky above you
Clearer than blue
Brighter than the rays of sunshine
Warmer than what you feel
More than all the wonders you see
It's the most wonderful thing

Brighter than the living colors of flowers you see
Sweeter than the touch of water
Flowing from the mountain spring
More than all the wonders you see
It's the most wonderful thing

One love...
I love you so
Love is the beautiful one
I love you so
Love is the beautiful one
All we need is love
Real love

Marvel at the sight of green fields
Amazingly seen
Watch the colors of the rainbow
It's a miracle you see
More than all the wonders can be
But there's more than that

One Love...
I love you so
Love is the beautiful one
I love you so
Love is the beautiful one
All we need is love
Real love

Greater than what you can feel
More than what you ever dreamed
This is better than your everything

One love...
I love you so
Love is the beautiful one(8x)
All we need is love
One love

Thoughts. . .

I was thinking that being able to see or meet other people here, other than the people in the house of course, would increase my anxiety. >.< But, my thoughts are wrong again! eeenk! haha It's really kinda weird to feel nervous at first but hey! It's fun to meet and talk to new people you don't know or is different from what you used to see and mingle with. :) hmmm, I'm still not that comfy being in places here, but I know soon everything will just come to its place.

I know.

I believe.

Because God made it possible for me to stay here.

Why must I worry?

Aussie Aussie Aussie

I'm really here! Australia is really a wonderful place. :) The roads, the trees, the shops and the people too! Tita Fely's place is great, where we had our first lunch here in Aussie. Our new house is nice (well I know it would be nice with my momi having to arrange things and stuff :D), and I am able to move around like I'm not new here. People I've met here, so far, are all nice. Thank God for that :D.

Well, I know I will be used to living in here (as if I have a choice haha). And I do believe that everything will just run smoothly. I know that all will be fine to those who love the Lord.

This is just the beginning of the new chapter of my God written life, and I know more adventures are coming!

Humanity

Another afternoon in a cafe, waiting for my mom to come online to talk about some things that we have to do. hmmm. I'm still quite bothered about what happened yesterday. But still, I must not be too anxious. Sheesh! That was quite hard to think about. Maybe human as I am, I do fear about what's going to happen, but whatever it may be, I must be ok because God is with me. :D

One Piece: Happiness

Me and My Part (Bombet) went to a net cafe last night to do some school stuff that he has to submit today. It was kind of interesting, but that's not what excites me by then. While thinking of facts to type about his paper (mini research paper i guess, to be exact), we are buffing some episodes of our beloved 'One Piece'. :D

Wah! It's like we were so motivated to finish what he has to do with their research paper because we are too much excited about watching the episodes. When the printing of the paper were finished, we started watching the said anime. weeeh! :D

Yosh! Surely, this anime can make us cry, laugh, and giggle a lot! And because we were so into it, we haven't noticed the time. Gosh! alas singko naman diay! hahaha (twilight) hayag na gud sa gawas ato! hahaha

Fun, fun, fun. We had so much fun watching Luffy and the gang. :D We simply love all of them. haha. Nakatapos kami ng 10 episodes in a row! mga adik na jud mi ani! :D Thank you Lord for giving us the chance to watch 'One Piece'. Even if masyado kaming pasaway. Thanks for the bonding moment with My Part. :) this is: Happiness.

anxiety mode

Huhuhu. I'm in the middle of searching uploaded episodes of One Piece and I can't find any with good quality and english subs! T_T help. . .

Sana makahanap ako. :(

Loving Them

Another 'Sabado Night' with my barkada. Another moment to cherrish and remember. Another chance to be with them. I simply thank the One above for each chance given to be with them, because i know that not long from now I would be far from all of them. I can no longer be with them but I know that they will be missed and they would always be remembered. And I know, thay would feel the same with me. Gosh. Just thinking about the time I would have to go makes me wanna cry now, but I shouldn't. I must not.

Hmmm, I know this will not be the last time that I would be thinking or would be saying things like this. I just wanna burst out what I feel for them. I do love them. They are special and I am simply thanking God I have them in my life now.

My labs apple:she would always and forever stay in my heart wherever I may be. I love her. and also her Papang Bong, I love him. I will always love him for loving my labs and for taking care of her always. I know kamu na jud!
Jepoy and Faiza:they would be having their baby boy soon. I know that this great step ahead would not be easy but I know everything will work out well for their family. I love them so.
Pangga:i simply adore all his knowledge and passion about lots of things. And for that, I would always be praying that someday he will meet the right girl for him. Diba Padz?! and to Madz Joyce, I hope she will be okay in her journey even if ofetn times she's not around with us. I still love her.
Utol:I treat him not just my brother but a friend that would always love me. Often times we may have some misunderstandings but I know and I would always have the hope that someday you will be that someone you wanted to be. I love my Utol.
And My part:sheeesh. What elsa can I say? You are my partner and we are one. Everyday of my life, you will be with me and with our Creator above. I love you so much.

So many more things to say. Pero siguro, I have to preserve it muna. Baka maiyak ako! hahaha
So, every Saturday that we'll have the chance to have our tapok-tapok, I can only say, "Thank God it's Saturday." :D
