Eighteen

When I thought I should stop celebrating my birthday, everybody is celebrating it for me. lol. I wasn't really in the mood of celebrating it like I did in my past birthdays. It just makes me sad that on my 18th birthday I'm not with my friends, where I should be having a big birthday bash... But I guess I can't have everything. If I think about it again.. it's not really a big loss.. I can never take it to heaven.


So yea, instead of eating outside I requested to just stay at home and buy me ice cream and a cake that has my name on it then I'm okay. I didn't have a name on my cake but it's so delicious and so pretty that I can't cut it with my own hands.. haha! And my mom bought foods that are good for one week :)) And I'm very thankful for everything. God knows what can make me smile =D..

And I got a new guitar too! It was totally unexpected, I know they were planning something because my churchmates are not good with telling lies.. hahaha! When I saw the guitar center sign I was like "Are you gonna buy me a guitar??"... "Is my favorite artist is gonna play for me there??" (this one is my craziness) "Don't tell me your making me play in there! No in the highway!!!" So yea they were like choose any guitar Yssa.. I hope I came prepared that time, but I really felt that I choose a right guitar for me.. it's Ovation and the cheapest there.. I was too shy to choose the pricey one but I know I got a good deal with my guitar.. So I'm very happy! God knows what I needed.. I didn't even pray for it.. I only wished for it in my own crazy mind, but I guess even those crazy thoughts God hears and if it's His willing, He will allow it.. Thank You Lord!..


My mom bought me balloons that I always wanted to have in my birthdays because I can feel it's my birthday :D And I envy my sister for having one when she was young. And I told them to have a family picture because it's been three years since our last one.. We really had fun taking pictures. =D.. I'm happy that it ended nicely.. nothing to worry about getting home early and everything is very relaxed just the way I wanted it to be :D

Venice Beach

My dad suddenly wants to go to Venice Beach despite of the cold weather.. It was my first time to see Venice Beach and I liked it.. not the crowdy place where they sell random stuffs, I just like the beach alone.

Rose Parade

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!!
twas fun but got a little boring in the middle of the program.. I think if we had enough sleep that night we would be really ecstatic to be there but we're like half asleep when we came..

Just for experience sake... ^^ We've done it! Now we're back to watching it on tv. lol!

Holy Night

It's our first time in our family to sing Christmas Songs all together.. and it was a lot of fun!.. we forgot that our tradition is to open presents at 12 AM.. oh well we're just delayed by 30 minutes ^^ kekekeke..

MERRY CHRISTMAS AGAIN EVERYBODY!

The new babies in the house!

I feel for this two bunnires.. when Bugs (are first bunny) first arrived we have baby pictures of him running in the grass.. sleeping in his cage.. eating, and videos too! But this two took us about 3weeks before taking a photo of them.. Mianhe bebes! I'm sure Bugs is so jealous with you two... you don't even play with him.. which is bad because he takes care of you two when you first came in our house... hahaha!I'm actually playing the role as a Narrator in their lives.


Domo- we named him Domo because.. Patty started liking Domo, the Japanese monster character. He's the very lively bunny we ever have.. he started doing binkys when he's week old or more, and he likes to lick our fingers.. he's the only bunny that licks a human :)).. for short he's very hyper ^^

Ttokki- Patty told me she's a girl but I'm still having doubts with that. we named him/her ttokki because that's the Korean name for bunny, I just don't know if I spelled it right though. She/he's the total opposite of Domo.. she/he likes to stay inside their Toy cave and just observe.. likes to eat and drink a lot of water.. he runs when you let him out of the cage but when you put him/her back in the cage he/she behaves. I think she has the attitude of a woman.. likes to eat and moves a little.. ^_^

So that's our new baby bunnies! We had a hard time taking photos of them because they keep running around our room, I only got few good shots from 50 shots.. they move so FAST!

Bugs knows how to work it!

My sister took this photos last month and just saw them a while ago. Bugs really is getting older! He knows now how to pose.

Whenever he's inside the cage he wants to be pet but when we take him out he ignores us... tricky little bunny!...

and he has a new friend now.. his name is Domo ^^.. and their both hyper! even if Domo's just baby he always does binky bunny. I'll post his picture next time.. he's still a camera shy ^_^

Sisterette

Meet my Unni everyone! she's my consultant when it comes to clothes.

We want to show off are cute toys. kekeke. Next week we will reveal you all of them when we finish fixing our room..so stand by!

KK's Birthday

Now I know why my mom never held a birthday party for us when we were kids... because it's so dead tiring to host a party! I don't know how my aunt can do it every year for my cousins.. From now on I will erase my grudge over birthday parties that I never had... kekeke =)

The funny.. and weird part was when it's already 4PM and people were still there.. chit chatting and eating. I love having people around but leaving around 7:30 is unacceptable! haha! kidding!.. But they should have realize that we still need to clean up, eat, go to church tomorrow and go home (ontario to l.a. is no joke) We finished everything around 10:30 and got home around 12 a.m... It's tiring, true, but it was a lot of fun! My little cousin Karyn cracks me up!... she's such a tomboy!.. and Omy! Kathleen is not a kid no more! I can't believe it!





And of course me and Patty did the face painting. My dad kinda sell us out to my aunt =) I guess he's so proud with us eh?... we should do this as a business.. well.. we're kinda starting but we'll see how it goes. Err.. and We didn't expect it to be our "advertisement" if only we knew, we would have come prepared with flyers and business card and stuff =)) lol!...

And our birthday present to them are chubby bunnies! wah! I hope they take care of them =D.. I think it's the new "it" thing today...

Binky Bunny

Auntie Gracia is here!... Bugsee is so big na!... wag kang lalaki bugsee!...lol.

Sometimes we call him "muymuy" but my cousins can't pronounce it well and they ended up calling him "moymoy"

And Patty calls him "minjiboom" too.. don't ask why. hahaha!

Karyn doesn't look like a baby nomore! she'll be 6 years old next saturday and all of us where planning to give her a birthday party. (as usual we're gonna do the face painting...hmmmm)

And and! we'll go to knotts berry on Saturday! weeee!

RIP: Volker- Before he was a guard dog he was a family dog

My Auntie found Volker dead around 3pm yesterday July 08, 2009. Volker has been a part of my Aunt's family and so with us. I haven't have a chance to talk to them and share my grief with them, when I heard the news from my dad I couldn't grasp it easily, Volker is a strong dog, he's trained to be a guard and attack dog how could he die that fast?? "he never missed a meal", "he had a big field to play with".. that all came to my mind, but none of that were the reason why he died. He was highblood, it's generic my sister told me that Volker's father or brother also died because of highblood.

I regret so much because I didn't play with him like my brother plays with him, I always get tired running around and getting scratches, I was always scared with dogs, even with our dogs in Philippines, I only play with them when my brother gets mad with our dogs. But my mom, Patty and David were always close with dogs, that's why the get so attached with Volker, even though he got this scary look when you look at his outward appearance he never gets mad like little dogs do.

(Photographed by David)

I'm just a little worried with my three little cousins who's like a flock of sheep with Volker, pushes my cousins with his head to gather them together while they're playing on the field. I remembered are first dog Bingo when he died, we were at the same age as my cousin when Bingo died and that made me think "How did they accept it?" they must have cried a lot. There's always gonna be a place for Volker not only in our hearts but also in my Aunt's place everywhere you look will remind you of Volker, we will always miss you Volker.
(This was the latest photo we have with Volker, my dad took this photos without our notice. It was very early and me and my sister decided to go outside to play with him before we leave my Aunt's place. Our face didn't came out good, but our time with Volker was priceless)

Little Torreses

Compiled video clips when we were still living in olonggapo. I don't remember much about our life there, but all of them said that they treasure a lot of memories from that years. We lived there for 5 years but we spend our Christmas in Muntinlupa with my Dad's side.

I decided to remove the audio from the video to make it more dramatic :)).. and to hide our itik voices ;p

God's rebelutionaries

(click here)

Me and Alyssa Chua started a new here at multiply, we started to invite people to join last Wednesday [Yes Christmas day!] we were inspired by the group called The Rebelution which Alex and Brett Harris created, they encourage young people to stand up from what God's been wanting them to do and rebel against low expectations that the world has given us.. We believe that our generation has been given much talent for us to serve Him, but we tend to use it in our own ways cause noone even bothers,

Ecclesiastes 3:9-10, 12
Two are better than one, because they have a good return in work, if one falls down his friend can help him up.
Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves, A cord of three strands is not quickly broken."

It's a group that everyone can join, you could share your talent in making layouts, guitar tutorials even share the word that God showed you, anything that glorifies His name :D
