noreply@blogger.com (jona) — Mon, 07 Dec 2009 12:13:00 +0000

Hey, I'm back and I'm good!

There is so so much happening in my life lately. Well, I am working full-time now plus my other part-time job. whew!.. I'm starting to be like my boyfriend - workaholic!

Anyway, It was our 2nd year together. Wheeee! We both busy that day Phil got work until 5pm. It was my day off but had to go to office for staff meeting and meet Yehlen at Gloria Jeans for coffee.

Phil picked me up at 7pm. As usual, we always do exchange gifts in the car before we head to our hot date. Few days ago, I sent an email to him about my anniv wish list! *cheeky smile*. So there you go Phil bought me a Biotherm aqua source moisturizer and a cleansing facial wash. Yeeey!. I saved $100!!!

I bought him a lacoste shirt and Maddox denim jeans plus I ordered a cake from Miss Maud Cake shop. Yum!

We had dinner at the Chinese restaurant and went to Malaga Ice Arena to ice-skate :-) (tho i dont know how to ice-skate).

Again, happy anniversary honey. More anniversaries to come!!

angel of mine

noreply@blogger.com (jona) — Sun, 09 Nov 2008 15:17:00 +0000

It is really heartbreaking to see couple part ways. The other day, I had a long chat thru skype with my friend who just had a recent break-up with her long time boyfriend for 3 years. I still could not imagine they are no longer together, I even thought that they would tie the knot next year knowing that they were a great couple and a perfect match. My friend is still so in love and even tried to iron things out but in the end they decided to split-up. I asked her so many questions trying to figure out what happened. She told me that her boyfriend fell out of love with her. This doesn’t sound fair to me. Whatever the reason is, I can’t really comprehend. Sorry but I wanted to curse the guy who hurt my friend so much. I really feel sorry for her.

After hearing that shocking news, it was already 12 midnight but then, I called my boyfriend (knowing he slept already) to say how much he means to me. I feel so blessed to have someone who has always been there for me. I am always thankful and very proud of the relationship I have now. We are very open to each other. I should say, we’re more than boyfriend/girlfriend (note: we’re not yet engaged :-D). We talked a lot on any thing like our future, career, family & friends. Also, we shared problems and solutions which makes us strong and better person. During hard times, we leaned on each other. That’s why his boss says we’re too dependent on each other. I don’t think ‘dependent’ is the right word to describe our relationship. Well, ‘we’re just both in love’ *beamed*.

Same with other couple, we do have fights and arguments. But then we make up, I would crack jokes on how mad he is by showing his text messages, quote some of his lines and that would make him laugh.

His genuine compliments make me feel good. True!

I just want to share this; for me, relationship succeeds when it is built with DEEP mutual love, understanding, respect and reservoir of kindness. I don’t know what the future holds for us. But I can say he has given me so much.. So am I…

I love my boyfriend so much. He’s an angel of mine.

what am I up to??

noreply@blogger.com (jona) — Fri, 27 Jun 2008 17:37:00 +0000

HELLO EVERYONE! It’s winter time here.. so cold.. so cozy.. every single night.

Well, I’m currently enjoying driving… hehe.. But this time I don’t need to go to Jeeves Driving Academy which I used to and pay $500 for every 10 lessons which is damn expensive but now I have my own personal instructor (hehe i’m referring to my boyfriend) and not only that three weeks ago he bought me a car. Yippeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!! Grabe what a day! I was telling to myself ‘ ang haba ng hair ko’ hahaha!

Phil always makes sure he has time to teach me how to drive even though sometimes I know he’s tired after work. Whenever we go out, I drive. This is one of the memories of our best dating experiences – simple and fun! Also, I notice that I have big improvements of my driving and its all because of my instructor being sooo patient :-D. Well, this is one of the many reasons why I love this guy sooo much…

Anyway, my driving assessment is coming soon. So yeah, I should be ready when that day comes.

Okay its almost half past 1 in the morning, I must go to bed now ‘coz Phil will probably pick me up by 2pm for a picnic and he will spend the whole afternoon with me. I miss him. (good thing he’s not into car racing this weekend). Yeeesss!

ta-da!

romantic 'GREEK' date

noreply@blogger.com (jona) — Fri, 09 May 2008 03:55:00 +0000

I am a happy GIRLFRIEND!!!!!!!! hahaha! I love saying that after we celebrate our 5th monthsarry last night. We really enjoyed our dinner at the greek restaurant located in the heart of northbridge. It was a fantastic place for a romantic dinner. We love the ambiance and the setting especially their decorations on the wall and their food. It was yummy!

This is what we had for entree - Greek mixed dip platter with a selection of tarama, tzatziki, hommus, fetta, olives, dolmades and other Greek delicacies and served with pita bread.

In times like this, I always remember the quote from "The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants"
" Maybe happiness didn't have to be about the big, sweeping circumstances, about having everything in your life in place. Maybe it was about stringing together a bunch of small pleasures."
True!
Thanks Phil :-)

i feel nostalgic again...

noreply@blogger.com (jona) — Sat, 12 Apr 2008 13:32:00 +0000

i had a busy days this week. sometimes i wish i could go back to my college old days.
haaayyy...

*i supposed to update this entry a couple weeks ago but due to my project haven't manage to finish this post. sorry folks!*

sty please go away :-(

noreply@blogger.com (jona) — Fri, 28 Mar 2008 14:31:00 +0000

i have signs of a sty in my right eye lid and it was kinda annoying and painful :-(. Phil bought me some medicines from the chemist before it gets worst. I'm proud to say that whenever i'm sick, Phil always does something that really makes me feel much better. true! I still remember before when I had a fever, he sent me red roses to cheer me up and called me from time to time knowing that he was busy in the office. Thanks soo much babe. I really really appreciate your concern.

I do hope it will get better tommorrow. Now, I must go to bed and rest my eyes.

ta-da!

noreply@blogger.com (jona) — Sun, 09 Mar 2008 11:03:00 +0000

I’m back! I’m back!! I missed writing in this blog. Well, my schedule was so hectic when I started my field placement last month. Huh! But this would be the last prac and last sem. Yey!

My sweet boyfriend reminds me to update my blog. aherm.. hehe.. I didn’t expect he visits this blog of mine regularly knowing he’s busy not only in his work but he’s also trying to spend quality time with his family, friends and of course ME. He’s such a caring person not to mention his grumpy moments. hahahaha! But I love everything about you.

Yesterday was a special date for us. Phil took me to Swan Valley where you’ll find wineries, beautiful nature scenery and chocolate factory. Awesome! It is a perfect spot to unwind after a tiring and a busy city life. Being with this kind of place with your special loved one is one of the happiest days of my life EVER! Can’t wait to bring my future kids there! *wishful thinking*.

(i've said this to Phil and I will say it again)
“My life has been going on fine and smoothly and I can’t ask anything for more.” How great it feels to have a special someone who knows how to make you happy. *sweet smile*

Have a goodnight everyone. Tomorrow is the first day working with my BOSS! aaarrrrgh!
He’s handsome anyway. wheeeeeeee!

Goodluck to myself! *rolling eyes*. hahahaha!

happy valentines day! yiiipppeeeee!!!

This video was especially made to the guy I love most.
I haven't seen him for three days for the reason that
I need to finish my portfolio due next week. arggghh!
Actually, I feel bad for doing this knowing we missed
each other so much. Sorry babe! This would not happen
again. Next time, even if I'm too busy I will make it sure
I have time for you. *peace sign*

Speaking of the video, most of the photos here was taken
from my camera and i love our photos. This made me reminisce
the time that I met him again after six months. oh.. so.. *teary eyes*

Well, so much of my dramas. *grin* I know I have a lot of things
to write but me and my sister need to do some shopping today.

Again, Happy Valentines to everyone! See yeah.
Enjoy your dates!

post-it-note:
Be grateful to those people who has touched your life! *warm smile*

Do you drink tea?

noreply@blogger.com (jona) — Mon, 04 Feb 2008 12:36:00 +0000

Honestly, I don’t drink.

I went to the library this afternoon to return some books and borrow another set of books again. As usual before I leave, I always read my favourite Reader’s Digest. One article caught my interest is all about the benefits of TEA. I know that TEA especially green tea can help reduced the risks of a number of major chronic diseases, such as stroke, heart attack and cancers. But according to the Japanese researchers, it can also prevent dental plaque forming and kills some oral bacteria that can cause gum disease since tea contains fluoride. Well, this is a good news for me! Now, I will force myself to drink tea at least 2 cups a day to keep the dentist away. Hehehe..

So yeah, I must go to bed now I am sooo tired plus my arms are aching.

Goodnight everyone! Sleep well babe.

im happy and contented... yey!

noreply@blogger.com (jona) — Wed, 23 Jan 2008 12:18:00 +0000

I should say I am blessed with my studies and lovelife.
They said you can't have it all but I'm proud to say that so
far I'm doing well in school and having a good-looking
and very sweet boyfriend makes my day bloom! whew! hehe..

Well, this year would be a big year for me since I'm about to finish my course. yeeeeyyyyy!!!
And I also have grand plans for 2008 that will keep me busy for this year. I hope
everything will fall into place.

AJA!

yesterday was my birthday!

noreply@blogger.com (jona) — Sun, 20 Jan 2008 10:11:00 +0000

yeah, I'm one year old! yiiiiiiiiiipeeeeeeeeeee *grin*

And I would like to thank all my friends and phil who joined
me on my birthday party. Thank you guys I really had fun :-).

Thank you sooo much babe for all the surprises. I really enjoyed the DINNER CRUISE!!! whheeeeee! I should say it was the most romantic date I ever had. You are so sweet!

Also, thanks for the DKNY watch, i like it baby!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

noreply@blogger.com (jona) — Tue, 01 Jan 2008 07:31:00 +0000

Yey! Its 2008!!! Things have been blissfully happy going my way since last month and a good sign to start a new year. whew! Looking back, i am happy with all my achievements in school – I’ve got good grades and certificate of recognition so sleepless nights and studying hard are all worth it.

A special ‘THANK YOUS’

“Thank you to my family for being supportive to all my decisions though I am miles away. To all the lecturers who nominated me to acknowledge my academic performance, thank you very much. These people have made me feel fantastic. Thanks to all my friends across the world who still keep in touch with me and never forget to call me. Though we don’t see each other, but I do cherish our friendship. And of course, to all my friends here in Perth especially to the gang - lorry, shane, joy, yehlen, jay and shorty thank you, I always had fun being with you guys. AND to the guy I love most, thank you for loving me, I honestly think that I am one lucky girl :-).

I am grateful for everyone who has touched my life last year *warm smile*.

Then again, this is ME!

HAPPY NEW YEAR! *happy face*

what makes you happy?

noreply@blogger.com (jona) — Thu, 27 Dec 2007 16:12:00 +0000

For me, happiness lies in the power of relationships. I find happiness through my family and through friendships. Though sometimes life can be difficult for us and for some people they always have this negative notion that it’s hard to achieve genuine happiness. Well, for some reason yes. But actually, even little things can make us happy it’s just that we don’t appreciate the blessings we’ve got.

Here is my own list that makes me happy everyday:

1. Everytime I got a ‘Good Morning’ text message from a special someone.
2. Good breakfast prepared by my grandma especially with fresh fruit juice.
3. When my boyfriend says ‘I love you’ out of the blue.
4. When I am not late in school and work.
5. Everytime I chat with my family back home.
6. When the weather is cold, but it was really hot today *poor thing*.
7. When my phone rings, knowing that someone really cares. *warm smile*
8. Peace of Mind.
9. Good Health – no headache and no heart ache hahahaha!
10. Not having a bad hair day!

Sometimes you need to remember what happiness feels like. So folks, always put a happy face and remember this, ‘Life is too short’, so each moment counts.

noreply@blogger.com (jona) — Tue, 25 Dec 2007 15:22:00 +0000

It’s almost 1.30am but I can’t sleep! Ho-hum.. so I better write to make my eyes fall a sleep. Oh dear blog, I really had such a great time with the most important person in my life now. I am so lucky to have him. He is so sweet, caring and good-looking guy. Though sometimes, I’m silly ‘coz of not paying attention to the road. He almost drive heading to the city. Hahaha! sorry babe.

For the first time, I was convinced to lie down on the grass and we both just gazed at the stars. And I feel like shouting to everyone! I’M DAMN PROUD OF MY BOYFRIEND! Wheeeeeeeeeee!

We talked while watching the city lights and he was open with his future plans. I love that and I love him.

Finally, I’m sleepy now.

But before I leave, I leave you with this cute and sweet note:

goodnite everyone :-)

noreply@blogger.com (jona) — Tue, 25 Dec 2007 03:18:00 +0000

I have received loads of text messages last night from my friends and what touch my heart were greetings from my old friends whom I haven’t seen for ages. Thank you thank you ‘multimedia’ guys! I missed you all!

This year is my memorable Christmas here in Perth. There are so many good things happened recently and this is something I’ve been waiting for such a long time. Spending time with my loved ones is a big thing for me.

I’m looking forward to the New Year!

Anyway, I must go back to sleep again. *sleepy head*

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL MY FAMILY, MY FRIENDS AND TO THE GUY I LOVED MOST (you know who you are). I love you all!

i'm back!

noreply@blogger.com (jona) — Fri, 21 Dec 2007 05:36:00 +0000

australian outback adventure

noreply@blogger.com (jona) — Sun, 15 Jul 2007 15:56:00 +0000

It was a sunny saturday afternoon when we decided to have a road trip in Mt. Robinsons (the other side of Newman) which is so called Outback. Outback refers to arid areas of Australia and one of the frontier tourist spot. Actually, there's a lot of places to go, i mean not only in Newmanbut in the South as well like kalgoorlie, Broome and Kimberley. I get excited 'coz finally I get to see the real views of WA which i've seen in postcards before I came here in australia. The Oz Outback is more beautiful you ever imagined. You will see it is not all desert, far from it but with great variety and beauty.

Enjoy these photos of the bush and its natural wonders which i took from my cam.

gone are the days

noreply@blogger.com (jona) — Thu, 12 Jul 2007 07:34:00 +0000

Back in my high school days, i used to be a 'penshoppe' fanatic stude.I love everything in penshoppe - their cute designed shirts, denim jeans,embroidered caps and socks.Oh i remember even my bag and wallet they were all 'penshoppe' brand. Actually, the truth is, i can't afford UCB or any other expensive brands that's why I was hooked. hahaha! By the way, speaking of high school, i do miss my alma mater 'University of Mindanao Main High School' *hats off* especially my classmates batch '97. I miss 'em all! Though my barkada labelled me as 'maarte' and 'mahinhin' to the max since I prefer being a cadet girls scout than PMT. *grin*There are also lots of extra-curricular activities that I'm involved with such as Youth on Fire, Math n Science Club, Cheering Contest and so on.. Good thing I still managed to maintain my grades to be in the 'special' section which is so called 'studes running for honours'daw hehe. And luckily, I was included on the top 15. hurray! hehe.. When it comes to gimik 'after-school' we used to eat either in Jollibee or gaisano food court as it is conveniently located in school nearby. Never mind the 'street food'. hehe.. Imagine how my teen days like :-).
I've heard most of my batchmates were all married and got kids early at their 20s. i think i'm one of the few who still remain to be single. Some were working abroad particularly in Dubai and others I don't have any idea. Though I keep in touch with some of them thru YM and friendster. But due to busy times, I lost contact with them.

Hoping we'll have a reunion one day. I'm very sure there will be lots of how are Yous, hi's & hello's!Meanwhile, i'm looking forward to a learning and enjoyable experience here in WA.

see yeah ^_^ i'll go biking and just get outside for some fresh air.

i'm now in Newman! yey grin

noreply@blogger.com (jona) — Tue, 10 Jul 2007 17:13:00 +0000

I arrived here last saturday at exactly 7.20am on a qantas airline. It was a two hours travel from Perth so I'm not that tired and thanks to them for the nice breakfast that they served. hehe.. my tummy was happy :-). My aunt, uncle and cousin picked me up at the airport. We go straight to their place to unload my things then went driving for an hour to see the town. Awesome! I love the place - the red sand, the hill and most of all, the peace and quiet ambiance. These kind of scenery makes me feel relaxed.

take a look on these pics..

a new era in my life

noreply@blogger.com (jona) — Sun, 01 Jul 2007 13:17:00 +0000

Dear Blog_Diary,

I’m glad I finished the one month practical training and handed in all the assessments for this semester. Yey yey! It was such a relieved for me. This is a new era in my life since I will start the peak of my course which is the DIPLOMA. Yes, after my holiday I start my diploma. I’m excited really.
--
I'll go for a holiday so I’ll be out of Perth for a while to rest and out of stress. I’ll make use of this trip to get over things that hurt me so bad – I swear it hurts like hell! Now, it’s about time to unwind and set my priorities straight. I PROMISE. I’ve learnt my lesson. I’d rather hide my feelings than to commit mistakes again. Things that need to be change will be changed for my own good.

I hope when I come back everything goes well for me. haaaayy..so much of my dramas. hehehe.. Despite of this emotional baggage, I’m proud to say that I’m bloomed into a woman of substance.

So dear God, please keep me away from heartaches.. *wishful thinking*

---
My Thanksgiving Prayer

Thank you God for always guiding me in the right path.
Thank you for giving me good friends to cling on.
Thank you to my Papa (Dad) who never gives up in reminding me to be ‘GOOD’.
Thank you for the wisdom and knowledge and my countless achievements.
Thank you!

goodnight! *yawning* hehe..
