KAYA NG POWERS

ICCY & LORRAINE

In a major, major way!!

Take One, Action! (gay mode)

Weeeehh! Mga chizmax lang yan ng mga chuvanez na wiz magawa sa mga chenelin nila…kalurky ever! Is dat akitz? Halleeeer!!!!

Take Two, action! (serious neng!)

We personally believe that our personality does not define who we are as a person. Yet, we don’t deny its significance. To show to the world who we really are is not for everybody to accept us, but we choose to express a certain feeling of freedom and excitement for our life’s fullness.

This personality is something worth celebrating. This means, freeing ourselves from things that were really into. We just get closer to the truth. This is it! What will you think, say or look at us, it doesn’t matter. Were very happy & we spell ‘HAPPINESS’ like an intense feeling towards inner peace, contentment, and major, major transformation & evolution.

Were proud & blessed to be who we really are & for those who acknowledge us without if’s & but’s we’ll be forever grateful!

REFRESH!

ANN & JAPH
best friends forever…

“life can sometimes be a cold cruel world, not for two ladies, Japhet & Christy
who found real friendship forever”

(Nhe, bago ka mag react sa picture ngara, i think it's about time para magpa pic kita 2 it latest haha! in fairness my significant moment to pic ngara. remember, bumalilin ka sa mga bato-bato ngaron para eang maka pose, to the highest level ang hinibayag kimo...ahahaha that was fun nhe!)

FATED TO BE FRIENDS

…first met in a high school ‘tambayan tree house’ near NNSF Quadrangle. We’re in 2nd year high school. First impression: Japhet is quite noticeable coz she’s so loud! Transferee ron hah, imaw ta eagi do bida sa section B. Ga pinakita imaw it photo album na sa mga classmates. Naki tan-aw man ako. First time encounter namun, we became friends right at that moment. She finds me very conservative & silent type nung araw.

BONDED BABES

We became classmates in 3rd year to 4th year & get even closer when we joined folk dance. Yun na! Si Japhet, she’s so ridiculous! Loka-loka dun, ang dating conservative Ann, halah medyo nagsangag-sangag it sangkiri. Haha! Influential? Funny once you get to know them. Lukaret kun mag-iba, matindi do naiisip nga punch lines, basagan tat bungo kun abuton it topak, mag hinibayag, kinaeas-kaeas, ing-ing kaistorya but both proven nice & genuine people in batch ’02.

SIMPLE GIRLS, SIMPLE PLEASURES

Japh & Ann are both nice & easy to be with. Mababaw ang kaligayahan. Super friendly! Si Japh sobrang abo nga mga guy friends nung high school. Mga eaki ta haeos do close na. More on section B & C. Like Rio (best friend) Joseph Yu (ex-BF), Markille (clown), Orlan (trusted). While, Ann had only few sa Sec. A - Rheyen (close) Jesse (indescribable) Rannel (bro-like) Marnel (harut) GM (bf ni Marge). Japh is just being super friendly sa mga eaki unlike Ann, aloof, coz she’s just confident to get along with guys close to her circle.

BIRDS OF THE SAME FEATHER

Both seriously linked & got respective partners before we graduated high school. hehehe…makara dun eh, dali lang do graduation kato, we found ourselves in pairs, with someone special sa panan-awan namun. Pamatyagan malang gali namun to! Hara eon, imaw eot-a rah! Sinamon rito! Toinks! Si Japh sa eaki ngato ag ako, sa kilaea ko ngato…haha, anonymous? Those were froggy choices..me ganun? Will of fate yata, to the highest level, kumerengkeng ag tapos hay ano? Panghak eang gid…weeeeeh!

ONCE COUSINS, UH!

My friendship with Japh survived with my connection with her cousin. It didn’t change anything. Mas nauna naman kami naging mag best friend than naging kami it anang cousin ngato in fairness! When I & her cuz were still together, it was just awkward on my part. Kaoeogtas kuno ako hambae ni Japh. I had all the inarte mode and ka etchusan factor all the way. But Japh was never the type na nakikialam in between. And she never said anything against to anyone.

WE TOLERATE EACH OTHER

We appreciate & celebrate each difference. We wish each other well. We make sure were happy for each other (bahala eon, basta kun siin ka masadya, malipayon man ako para kimo). We’d be our own critics, pero light do banat, magaan do impact…hehe di nakakapikon. In attitudes, I have the tendency to get wet & wild when dragged. While si Japh, firm & consistently righteous ta dun imaw hehehe…

SINGLES & LOVIN’ IT

Our status last year…hihihi. Kami? zero balance? C’mon! Oh, yes! Were about to put up our imaginary ‘monasteryo’ exclusively para kamon daywa. For the broken-hearted club, we try to smoothen each others feelings with advices, & encouragement, nakaka lift ng spirit. Siin ka’t ing kakita nga gamaea eon ing utok it aeam-aeam kana & then she would still reason out chu-chu, kalurky! That was during ‘eaki ngato’ time nana…my huling paalam eon ngani dun, last will & testament, mga ganyang level pero harun buhi man gihapon! Oveeer! Ga mongha eota kaya kami…Oops, pero mga hopeful naman! There’s this side in our minds saying, “ikaw lang mag mongha nhe, soloha”, ahahahahaha!

THROUGH THICK & THIN

Our friendship is definitely, a solid rock! Since then, we’ve been friends through the years & I want to keep it forever. Wala siyang secret na hindi ko alam nun! Lately medyo secretive eota imaw. Na realize na siguro nga uwa ngani ako ga share masyado. Haha, ako malang do sobrang makulit, may pagka malit ag etchusera sa lovelife nana. In fairness, na intindi nana if I have nothing to share in terms of my private life. I’m not just vocal. For Japh, If want to open up, go! but if I won’t, uwa imaw ga pilit. But she knows everything din naman eventually…hehehe!

TEST OF FRIENDSHIP

Though we can’t see each other as much as we want, like before, we will always be there for each other. A true friend never changes. Even if you don’t see each other for the longest time, and when you do, it’s like you’ve never been apart. We still keep in touch! Once BFF always BFF!!

THE LOVE DEPT.

Reel or Real?

My love life has been the subject of wide speculation lately. Whether or not I need someone to be with is the brewing question on everyone’s mind. Please… Napigos ta ako…ga bleeding eo’t ang! People around us just can’t help but conclude “Rheyen and I were too good with very good vibes”. They just got this automatic feeling for us, uhh! I felt like they’re exposing to the world something that is so innocent & fragile. I mean, here goes, the story so far…

SURPRISED

Honestly, I can only confirm that we have been getting quite so well. We are both committed with our established friendship. Were serious about it but careful coz we don’t want to scare ourselves. Simple, for now… he doesn’t need a woman, I don’t need a man, it just so happened, we need a friend! Were very cautious about the impression we are going to make. Even from the beginning, no matter how sweet it sounds, how romantic it feels, no matter how ‘kilig’ other people get, we on our part, were simply enjoying it. BFF is not a joke, its real for us! When we talk about it, very appreciative and passionate. I don’t ignore every single detail rather I acknowledge it.

FLATTERED

If anything, I’m flattered by his attention and superb ways. He’s arguably one of the promising guy—who wouldn’t dare to be the object of his attention? I’m touched that I am precious and that he’d love to see me happy. His personal life was not secret to me. I respect the idea that he confides to me, open up and allowed me into his private world. Everything just flowed naturally, making me feel no issue, no tension, no nothing…

MESMERIZED

Reminding me to stay happy always. Want to make sure I’m fine & happy and swear siya ang nakakakita nun. Sweet! What I’ll miss most is the togetherness. He gets to be more playful, more of himself when he’s around me. Chilling out — basically having a good laugh all the time. “Kasundo ko itong taong ‘to…pag kasama ko sya, ang saya! tawa lang ako ng tawa…toinks!

GRATEFUL

I’m glad to have such a wonderful friend with Yhen. I’m still enjoying things the way they are right now. Friends! While people eagerly await the day, I can’t say when I’ll confess that finally I found the one rockin’. Sometimes, there’s the right one, but not the right time, not the right place, not the right moment, siguro kapag nagkasundo na silang apat, magulo pa mga schedule nila eh! (hehehe…magulo Ann, hipus lang!) Sure, when these four things meet, I’ll know!

THE SURREAL DIARY

When I tell the world, “Someday, I’ll have the best love story to tell,
a love story that I’ll feel proud to share…” I’m confident I could do it!

Nice chilly morning I wake up, another fabulous day ahead! People making my mornings worth gettin’ up for, suddenly filled up my thoughts & make me flash a sweet smile…

The day would begin with a cup of hot stuff in the morning followed by a light breakfast. Head straight to the bath room doin’ my thing, with my ‘must haves’: shampoo & conditioner. Can’t lose that team up! Dress up simply & comfortably, glam a little…face powder, light lip tint & lip gloss is Ok. My hair twirls will do the rest, hehe. That’s simply my usual girl thing.

What a great way to begin and end the day – just me & my curly hair, make me feel just fine! Then, get to my workplace at 9:00. Log on to FB, checking my friend requests, messages, notifications and photo comments from friends…updating juicy & wacky blog post & the rest will be playful ehehe...

I should say, Ann is inspired & driven!
Trusting my instinct, I know when I’ve finally found the one rockin’…

I have often wished for someone special to love & will love me back. That somewhere in this world, there is a special person for me. (Midnight Phantom, ikaw ba yan?) I won’t look for him, I know he’s existing…wink! ;)

I wish to have someone who cares for me the way I do for him; someone good enough with brilliant mind and a good sense of humor. I get attracted to a guy with sense & substance that sees the real side of life yet is able to gladly compromise from it. He should be able to fit himself in any situation that I am into, accepting whatever I can, whoever I am, even for what I’m not. (charity case ba ito teh?) I wish to enjoy with someone who knows how to have fun & has a zest to life! (Oh, it’s not too much to ask anyway!)

I want to be with someone I wished of having! Simple, he ‘MUST BE’ my best friend (that’s an order!) we’ll be treating each other as young lovers (as if always first time) it will be more exciting having our hard-to-get ways & ‘childlike’ thing once in a while. Trip-trip lang. Masaya yun! It’s the small details of your lives that really matter in a relationship. So find time to be friends and make gentle things for each other that build a lasting friendship…

“Why act like a frog when you can be a princess?”

I should say that, I really don’t know much about love & relationship like what I thought, I knew. It’s a sort of foolishness & curiosity at first. It wasn’t as easy as I thought it would be. But I never regret any bumps & bruises of the past (its part of life) somehow, it made me what I am right now. This time, I want to look at love in a higher, grander view. I’d rather be a princess to make smart choices with maturity to realize that’s it’s not a matter of being the perfect person but it’s a matter of being the right one for someone you choose to love.

“True love waits though it may take long, but it will always take you to where you belong,” an excerpt from Japh’s forwarded txt, “Take one step at a time”, according to Yhen, “Life is difficult without love” as to Charlette, “Love is worth a sacrifice” as to Rannel, and “Love Sucks!” for Jesse.

“love is a gift not to EXPLAIN but to EXPERIENCE”

The journey is to be enjoyed, savored & celebrated. Don’t miss the point of each passing moment. No need to hurry & rush into things you’re not certain of. When you’re ready to trust again, your heart knows when…let the love begin! ‘Love must be sincere!’ it has to be genuine & earnest. This command leaves no reason for pain. Love is powerful, yet delicate. To love is to understand this. To love is to respect this because “It’s not easy to give love & just get hurt! It’s so ironic how overwhelmed one could be when in love and then feel shattered when all the damn feelings lost its way. Therefore, to foster meaningful relationships, one must forget LOVE & focus on trust, respect & consistency of friendship.

Learn to trust the perfect time. It is unwavering, unflagging to discover that all the pain in waiting has a wonderful reward in the end. In God’s time, you’ll fall in love with the right person for the right reason. Love will be worth the wait! When that time comes, you’ll forget you ever waited. Seems that your ‘destined someone’ has removed blinders from your eyes and you can only see the world full of “magic, mystery & happiness.”
