BEAUTIFUL LOVE
my youngest cousin, ezekiel(:
my fav cous, shawn<3
my bff!
gorgeous jessvir<3 we were inseparable since sec1
uber sweet abi who's soooo charming!
I remembered that I admired mavis since I was 13. heeee *blush
my best friend at home(:
my 20th (gulps. OLD!)birthday celebration(16 jan) was a rather small an exclusive one, or some would say, 'private'. with only 5 of my closest friends along with my relatives(mom side), over at my lovely home(:
though my birthday's a week away(one month after Christmas *hints), it was lovely being able to celebrate with my 2 cous (shawn & ezekiel) as my mom would be flying away for 3 weeks(she wouldn't be around during my birthday and cny! only redeeming factor is that I'm entitled to a special request of receiving a bag from Europe(rubs hands gleefully) I'm officially spoilt. *hence my birthday celebration was pushed forward
the wonderful thing about being around my besties is that they know me better than I know myself. considering the fact that I've known them for over 7-11 years, or almost half my life. 'besties' becomes a severe understated word and I'd have to use a more appropriate term like 'soul sisters'. it's not that hard to imagine we being each other's bridesmaid(that's if I ever get married) and godmother to each other's children.
cheers to a beautiful life filled with many more sweet memories as I begin to embark my life as I turn 20.

READY OR NOT
then (year 1)
(gosh, I look so TOOT! it's like the epitome of "nerdiness")
now (year 3)
we all change! (I can't help but always think to myself that my gfs are truly beautiful, inside out) <3
I admit that it's a tad (extremely) slow of me to only blog about the new year, now. could sense that my presence was greatly missed. awwwwwww I guess absence truly makes the heart fonder!
nonetheless, it's almost halfway through january (my fav month) and I'm less excited turning a year older (hitting 2 0, no more a teenager!).
mom: life in your 20's is gonna be fun! it's where you get to fall in love...
me: but mom, I don't want to fall in love:(
fast forward to a few weeks and I cant help but think that two is better than one. I doubt I have the gift of celibacy (so much for thinking that being a nun is cool as one gets to wear uber modest robes, devoting your life to the church by loving orphan kids. isn't that fulfilling?). I was blown away when my bf of 7 years (she was my bf since we were 13) told me that I'd probably get together with a guy whom I've been friends for many years. bingo! I treasure friendship above relationships (BGR) and I believe good things come to those who wait(: *I'll be in deep trouble if a cute christian guy makes his move. GULPS
the biggest thing on my, and my poly friends' mind is, "where do we go from here?" local u (nope cant make it, even as much as I want to), overseas (how can I leave everything behind; family, friends, thank God I don't have a boyfriend! to study overseas? and it isn't for missionary purposes!!). I hence conclude that I'll be studying in a private uni. away with self stereotype that I'm less competent...
I can't help but wish that I were normal! study in a jc, then moving on to proceed to a local u; just like everyone else. then again, I'm andrina. though I may not know now, why things are like that, but I'm sure that God has a great plan for me and that He'll see me through (regardless of the "out of the world" path that I may be taking).
(to the world) so ready or not, give me what you've got!
