15 Reasons Why

Let me share my most favorite people in the world. People I love hanging out with, people I share lots of part in my book. People who inspires me and everything.

1. Ate Hazel. The most awesome photographer, videographer and video editor for me. I've seen lots of good pictures not taken by her, good videos not made by her, but at the end of the day, I will always be looking up to her. She sure makes the best photos she could produce. Same as videos. It's always exciting to see a new video edited by her. The flow of ideas on her mind amazes me that's why she's my idol. She inspired me in video-editing. Furthermore, I love her plans in life, though yung iba, di natutuloy. hehe. I miss the times when we will just lay on bed, talking about things, people, places and some other stuffs while waiting to fall asleep or let's say before going to sleep. And the sleepovers, movie marathons, and eating (haha). She gives me comfort by just talking to her, talking to me, sharing some of her life stories, comments and perspectives in life. She will always be the big sister I never had. It's so nice drinking coffee with you, ate! Salamat sa treats! :D By the way, she's my eldest first cousin from my father's side.

2. Margarita. Say hello to my bestfriend! The bestest-friend ever. Sometimes I am wondering if she was just sent here on earth with a special mission, as an angel in disguise, because all she ever done was good things (I can't think of any deep bad things she have done). She says she's a wallflower and she stands by that, but she's not just any other ordinary wallflower, because she shines on the inside. Being an apprentice of people who inspires her, she slowly become one without further notice. She easliy gets excited about things which can make her happy and can be easily amazed by cool stuffs. She's an introvert, a procrastinator, an internet wiz, a bookworm. She's so go for anything and that's one of the things I could relate with her. Like we we're able to be part of the highschool soccer team, join and luckily win the BFF8Date contest, sneak after class to go to Batangas Pier to visit the Longest Painting in Continuous Canvass without permission from our guardians. hehe. She's also my promotor from doing volunteer works, like being a World Vision volunteer. I just wasn't able to be one. But we were able to do the Hand in Hand for Japan volunteer work together, and supporting the 12 hour famine event. I just miss her, but will always be forever grateful by having her.

3. Eva. My sister, also known as my living diary. Alam na ata neto lahat ng nangyari sa akin sa sobrang kadaldalan ko. Sorry to her ears, she's the first closest person I could share my blabs and who could understand me. We may get annoyed at each other at times, but flip the world upside-down, she'll always be my sister. Di man halata, but I love her with all my heart.

4. Kuya Romejohn. Big Brother #2. My cousin who seems to be making a review or an opinion article just by talking to you. Like he says what he hates about some thing, what he likes about this thing, what excites him and stuffs. Nakakatuwa din sya everytime mag-kkwento sya about how fun his life is. Mostly, about school. When he was in highschool, clubs that he joined, classroom moments, same as this college. He inspires me to "Just do it". Do what you want, what your heart tells you. He served as my tour guide when I was about to enter college and even wished me good luck on my first day, motivating me not to be afraid because college is fun.

5. Kuya Arjay. Big Brother #1. My jolly kuya who seems to be the model for the saying "Keep Calm and Carry On". Wait, did I just said keep calm? Makulit din to e. Calm mag-drive. Relak lang, di nate-ten. hehe. Never seen him dance in an actual thingy, but they say that he's good. He's our bed neighbor back when we were still staying at their house. I happen to tell him some wrong thing I've done where I kind of met an accident. All he told me was just be careful next time at mag-paalam. See? Calm nga. One of the good things about him, sobrang tender-juicy when it comes to love. Hi ate jhaneline! :)

6. Kuya Pierro. Big Brother #3. Kapitbahay since birth. The person who introduced us to stuffs a 90's kid should know. Like different kind of childhood games, co-characters sa isang TV show like Power Ranger. He's red ranger, I'm pink, Eva is yellow, Theron is blue, Stephen is black. Then in Teletubbies, Theron is Tinky-winky, he is Dipsy, I am Lala and Eva is Po. I idolize him when he plays soccer. And also how he gets along with people though he's annoying sometimes. Mabait naman yan, makulit nga lang talaga minsan.

7. Stephen. I just love this person how I could connect to him, like the movies I like, I'll ask him to watch it and then he'll like it too. Then we'll talk about it, tell the movie lines with accent over and over again. And he likes most songs which I like too. And the dancing and stuff, vibes kami nyan! *beso beso :))

8. Tita Tess. My tita stucked at age 25. Check out her old pictures and compare them with the present ones. Pretty much, you'll say na hindi nagbago ang ichura nya. When I didn't continue my 2nd semester as a BSIT student and while waiting for our flight to Spain, I stayed with her and her sons in her house at Parañaque. Most probably, mas naging close kami. Close in a way that I learned some of the things she would never tell to people whom she don't want to be involved as long as she could carry on. She's a busy single mom, but still manages to give time for her family, though it's not what she is expecting herself and used to do as a mother. Being with her at work, while driving, there are lots of things that we talked about which I could never have as a topic with my parents. I also learned so many lessons from her that as long as you can figure out a problem by your own, don't involve many people who can only make some things worse. Your life will always depend on you. Another thing I love about her is her fashion sense, though she tends to be an impulsive buyer sometimes. And the way I was able to discover the world (wait, Manila lang naman) from my father's protective zone, I felt like I grew when I figured out some transportation processes in Manila and when I discovered Divisoria :P. There are also lots of inspiring people na nakilala ko through her, like Sir Joseph from Aboitiz, her and tito Allen's friends, and more. And the eating time bonding. Kain kung kain. Oh I almost forgot...forgot na mag-suklay! Hehe. :P

9. Thirdy-boy. I just so love this kid. He's so fat and so fun to squeeze and hug. Plus, he's so pogi and sweet. He also loves to make gigil to you, where he'll squeeze his face to yours.

10. John Royce, Theron. Though annoying sometimes, my little brothers are like my precious ones. I may not be the best ate in the world, but they make me feel one sometimes. I just love it when we get to bond with each other. I feel like we're just in the same age though we love teasing each other. I just love them. :) +Mom and Dad. 1st of all, I won't be here if not by them. Like my inay, you will not think they're that old for their age. Lotsa stories from them and laughs at some shallow things. I feel like bonding with my friends too.

11. Inay Mercing. With how she works out, you'll never think that she owns the age she have right now. I think she's the coolest lola on earth. Ignoring on how can she use the high-tech gadgets right now, she sure could get along to people in different ages. I love it everytime she'll tell or re-tell her life story back then. Especially her love story, where the tendency is kinikilig pa rin sya. (haha. cute!) Mataray sya kung mataray ka din sa kanya. And she knows where to stand in every situation. She's so supportive that she'll never let you get left behind as long as she can. She's an example of the person who wants to live her life to the fullest like NEVER EVER let an opportunity fly away. Di man kami magkasundo sa ibang bagay, I will always love her how much I love my mom. As a mother, if only she could wish for something which could be granted, I'm sure she'll wish for Peace on Earth and enlightenment in every ones mind.

12. Lola Tita. The most prayful person I know. I love her how she believes in every good possible thing which can happen. She may not always be there with you physically, she sure is supporting you through prayers to God. I love the time when we were staying at her house, when she still wakes up very early in the morning to attend mass. Couple or more times, she brought me with her and the feeling is so relaxing, just seeing the sun rise with God's grace. Once, she listened to me as I spill my very shallow troubles without any judgement. I felt like a huge thorn was plucked out from my heart. I always feel comfortable around her.

13. Rofel. Adik sa dota, young, wild, free. Our playmate since childhood. Napag-kwentuhan ko na rin to ng mga bagay bagay and the person I kinda asked nung may hindi ako naintindihan sa lalake. haha. Free supplier ko rin to ng movies whenever I get to go to Calicanto. Masarap asarin pero di sya napipikon like regarding his growing issues. hehe. Malakas din naman kasi sya mang-asar. I like him the way he likes little kids, on how he bonds with my little bro and AA. Kuya rofel e.

14. Auntie Judith, Ninong Enteng. They are my mother's siblings. They always tell us that we should study hard so we could have a better future, like theirs. Talk about role models. And that we should live life to the fullest. +Tito Ipe. Inspite of being from a different generation from us, they sure are all so fun to hang out with. Also, they are one of the good reasons we could say to be able to go out even at night and eat isaw, other street food and more food. Another thing is, they always treat you. heehee

15. Leah, Ella, Jabin. College friends. Some people who made my De La Salle days hard to move on from. Like, my day won't be complete without breathing a mall air (weird. huh), photoshoots with Ella, thoughts I can only spill to Leah...etc. etc.
