All of us experienced loneliness and low self-esteem. I'm a kind of person who's always cheering up people specially those who's in need or in the state of melancholia. That's why I enlisted my favorite motivational words.
"Prove nothing, but show something"- superjace28. (That's me)
Proving something to a person is like creating a promise. It takes guts to prove something. Specially when someone challenges you and you know by yourself that you can't. Well, nothing is impossible for a humble human.
"After all they're just words"- The Carrie Diaries.
Who says language isn't powerful? When someone throws you a criticism or say something isn't nice about you. Always remember this mantra, stand straight, shrugg of your hair and say those words :)
"I can do all these through him who gives me strength."-Philippians 4 : 13
I studied in a Christian school since Kindergarten 'till Sixth grade, and every week our teachers helps us to memorize a verse. This is one of my favorite bible verses. I always whisper this wherever I feel like losing hope.
"Have the courage to fail big and stick around. Make them wonder why you're still smiling"-Elizabeth Town.
Also one of my favorite movies, Kirsten Dunst plays a role here of an optimistic person who cheers and uplift the self esteem of a big time loser businessman. I always think of these whenever I fail something then goes back to the track after.
"For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." Jeremiah 29:11
So you did not passed your "dream college" exam or rejected by a company that is highly standard. Don't you worry, God always have a better plan for all of us. And as the bible verse said, it'll not give us harm, but a hope to prosper.
"In every dark clouds, there's always a silver lining"- Unknown
One of my favorite sayings everytime I feel so lonely.
"Without pain, we couldn't know joy."- John Green, The Fault in our stars
Feeling sad because of that recent break up? Go read this!
"Challenge's are spices in life."- Father Nestor (Nestea) Gungon
One of my favorite sayings back when I was in High school. It was our First friday mass and those words couldn't get out of my mind. The best qoute if you ever have a problem.

As we grow older
 |
| Picture source from weheartit.com/ edited |
As we grow older, we realize that some things were changed. That things will be differ the way we used to. You will realize that you'll choose to go shop at American eagle or Bench rather than Oshkosh. Realize that you'll choose a quarter pounder rather than a kiddie meal on Mcdonalds. Choose to watch MTV over Nickelodeon. And choosing to go out with friends rather than staying home.
Keane (band) once realizes me in their song entitled "everybody's changing" that as we grow older, the problems and challenges that we will be facing in life is getting a little bit tougher. Not just in life, but also in love, family, peers, and personal stuffs. One hot afternoon, I caught my self starring at the ceiling thinking about things I didn't understand back then that was now clear to me. Laughed at some curves and mistakes that I did. No regrets just reminisce.
As we grow older, someone will call us "ate/kuya". That finishing your studies is more important than being your all time dream of becoming a millionaire. And most importantly as we grow older and older, we should learn how to look back from where we belong. Kept a foot on the ground while we were soaring high. Life is a long journey of life lessons.. just keep your faith to God and life still goes on.

The Naked and famous
In this fast paced living generation like this, everything is instant. Technology keeps getting better everyday. I remember going to Starbucks just to fill up my sweet tooth that was craving for some coffee jelly frappuccino. There was a kid asking her mother to buy him an Ipad, but I'm not aiming for the needy kid. But the girl across the table that I was looking into. A girl taking some selfies of her face with a frappuccino on her cheeks, posing a duckface, a simple smile, a sad-kid face pose, stick-out tongue. Hummm.. Instagram worthy picture. Tap-tap; my generation.
As a teenager we sometimes seeks for fun, adventure, love, and sometimes fame. Don't say no, hello.. are you in favor to your new profile picture in Facebook without a single like, Hell NO. Actually being famous or seeking fame is not a bad thing, It think it was labeled on Maslow's Hierarchy of needs; it was stated on the 3rd or 4th line of the pyramid. But what if fame takes too much of ourselves? does it mean we're starting to get naked to? By the word naked, the first thing that is popping in our heads was an undressed human, that's is how teens today would do just to get the right amount of fame to themselves. You can be a famous person in different ways, by your looks, your attitude, the way you act or treat other people, when you're an A+ student, or having a great sense of humor. Mine was the last one.
Den, 16. Used to be bullied and disrespected in social media sites because of her lewd and daring pictures giving her a bad review about herself. I asked her once why does she likes to take pictures of herself when she just woke up straight from the bed with her cameo cleavage. "Nothing, I just feel so vain that morning. Ang ganda ko kasi duon parang di-kakagising" despite of her "bitch labeled" self, I asked her prankly if she's aware on how people see's her. "Wala naman akong pakielam sakanila, hayaan mo lang sila ma-ingit".
Maybe it's because of the song "Forever young" or the popular teen word "YOLO" (You only live once) that's why sometimes teens seeks too much finding themselves in different way. Giving them a grand feeling when a lot of people know's you. That'll get to the point when people see's them differently. That being enough and well known is okay. After all, we're all human who needs sometimes a "miss" feeling from our loved ones, friends, and family. And life is journey of life lessons, maybe Young bloods like mine will realize the things we did later in ourlives. Okay, so now let's take a selfie.

Summer 2014: sunscreen x sunburns
DARANAK FALLS (TANAY, RIZAL)
...
BUROT BEACH (CALATAGAN, BATANGAS)
2 weeks after, we went to Burot beach in Calatagan, Batangas (We got accompany) together with my cousin, Kuya Nilo and his cousins with EK. It was our second time to visit burot and there's quite a lot of people not just like when we visited it last September 2013, I think we're only 5 campers there. 
I have to confess, it was my first time to drink 'Red horse beer' and I drunk 4 bottles of it with a starter of Emperador light, GOSH! who's wasted and suffered from hangover the next day. It was also bizarre when we're packing our things to leave Burot then suddenly, EK left the car keys on the trunk and we all have no choice but to crash the 1/4 of the car's window. Tsk Tsk :) I thought I got super tanned by there but thanks to the SPF lotion because it save my skin.1 week after, we went to my cousin's house together in Cavite to watch the Pay-per-view rematch fight of Pacquiao and Bradley. But instead of watching the game, I decided to watch over EK at the clubhouse swimming pool. No Choice! me and my nephew Chelai go swim with her. It was a fun day though I got some serious sunburn because I didn't put any sunblock on my skin. Who to blame? :) It is Sunday and we ended the night by having a mass with palaspas in our hands at the nearest church.
...
BATAAN & ZAMBALES
A week after, here we go! WERE GOIN' NORTH! Oops! Holy Week, it's time to magnilay-nilay at magbalik loob sa diyos. We still remember Christ's even though we're off set for vacation. Thursday morning we leave Manila to go to Bulacan to fetch Kuya Nilo's relatives and went to a Pabasa still in Bulacan. After the Pabasa thing we went straight to Bataan to rest our body, before going to bed I watched a movie of Regine Velasquez and it was quite good :) also EK took a photo of us of Karl, Kuya Nilo's nephew.

Friday morning, I woke up with a freeze feeling, someone put a prank on me! Who turned on the Fan!? :)We ate Eggs, Fried rice, Danggit (salty sun-dried fish), and a lobster *wow* after we ate our breakfast, No ligo deretso Botolan, Zambales na! but we brushes our teeth naman.

It's almost evening when we got there so the house keeper prepares our dinner for that night and took some shots of Tequila, we also watch some couple of movies before hitting the bed. Saturday morning, WHOAH! I woke up with another prank! Kuya Nilo pulled our feet to wake us up, my goodness. We ate Hotdogs, meat loafs, and fried rice that morning. While on our way to Iba, Zambales, we were looking for some slurpee and 7/11 doesn't have any of those, thank god I found one. We also fetch Tom from their house who has a beach resort, nice diba? :)

Touchdown Lindamar by the sea, It's our second time around here together with the same old gang but this time without PJ (Karl's cousin). Some prepare foods and WE enjoyed the sea on a summer day. Someone visited us from Palauig? I guess. It's Kuya Dex, Kuya Ernie's cousin. The ladies and gentlemen were off to swim and we still have a visitor coming that's why I presented my self to cook the Liempo in the uling. First time ko lang mag ihaw! :) Si Tom tigapaypay ako tiga sigaw kapag lumiliyab na yung uling. Hahahaha! But still, it was a survival skill. COMMERCIAL: watch my cooking skills in Zambales
The sun was setting and the tides were getting strong. Karl, Tom, and I also discussed about Summer music festivals around the world like Summer siren or Tomorrowland, the one in Belgium. We all have a taste EDM. On the road going back to Botolan, we sang "Biglang liko" Ate Rio's currently favorite music. The next day, we went to this place called Simbahan sa Bundok where celebrities used to go there like Vilma Santos and Sharon Cuneta, Driving home back to Bataan, we went to Royal Subic stop by and bought some addictive Frit-C's and ate some famous mami house in Olonggapo. Bataan, we said bye's to them na and prepare to leave the house, BUT we're still going back to Zambales in May somehow cause' they got a fiesta there in Botolan.
My summer was really awesome! Thanks to the crew and see you again :)
