lives a 20 year old female
named Olive. She has a
million stories in her life.
And this is the place where she
lets all the stories alive!
I got this site from Mahrs and I wanted to share it with whoever reads this xanga of mine. It's truly inspiring and it's something I should look at all the time to remember that I'm loved by God.Here
Speaking of love, for me, it's such a hard word to say. Yes, people just throw that word around now, but when it comes to my family, it's difficult for me to even utter it. I've grown up not saying the word and I'm jealous of friends who constantly say it to their familes. It's easier to say "Why not start now?" because it's not that easy specially if there's awkwardness at hand.
This topic was brought up in mind again because I went to my cousin's in law's viewing. The just got married last month, and her husband's dad was suppose to get his bypass(sp?) before the wedding, but they postponed(sp?) it to after the wedding. He survived the bypass, but I was told that his kidney failed and so he has gone to Heaven. This is what made me think about my dad. As I stood there praying for him, my cousin's in-law, it got me thinking about my dad. Our family from my dad side runs with diseases regarding the heart and diabetes and we're all suseptible to it and it made me think about his health.
All I want to be able to do is to say I love you to them directly and not just by showing it in other terms by saying take care. I know we all love each other, but it's always better to say I love you. I wish it was that easy. I'm getting there though. I've said this many times, but atleast I was able to do so now with my lola. And I'm able to say it to friends that are dear to me. It takes guts to say I love you and I don't say I love you easily because I only say it when I mean it. Meaning I care for you. So if you hear me say this words to you, know that it takes a lot for me to say it. Yes, it's easier to type it than say it, but I just want to tell my beloved friends, I LOVE YOU! and THANK YOU for being a part of my crazy life! :) Take Care Always and God Bless!

...Labor Day Weekend...
Friday, Maelove arrived and the posse had lunch @ Fuddrockers(sp?) but Jing was MIA w/ the gals. We were all full and had fun waiting for the light coaster to buzz! hah. Later that night, I went out with Maryanne, Jen, Jodie, Tep and her cousin to eat @ Islands. They treated me out for my bday celebration w/ them. Thank you ladies!! :) It was a wonderful day spent with friends!! Gotta love them!! :D
Saturday, I don't now what I did?!?!
Sunday, I went to South Mission Beach w/ the parentals to set up the place for everyone :) The Posse later came w/ Tep and her bf and Azel, Eliza and BJ were MIA this time. It was fun swimming and being in the water!! :D Thanks mom and dad for the bbq!! Thanks Maelove for bringing food and the grill and table, and thank you everyone for coming to hang out and bringing in the fun! :D Daddio wanted to go to the beach since it was the last weekend of the summer. My dad grew up going to the beach since his family used to own a beach in Olongapo, but too bad I didn't grow up seeing the castle he made by that beach. I saw it but it was already torn apart. I was fortunate to grow up by the beach too though through my mom's side in her province San Felipe, Zambales. So I guess that's why I grew up loving nature :)
We at the beach for a good 5 hrs. or so then packed to catch the 5 o'clock mass. Later, I met up w/ some more of the posse, but Chas, Jing, and Azel were MIA to go bowling. That was fun and it was fun to see RB's crush..aWw..haha. Later we all ate @ Dennys and went picture crazy like usual. Thanks to Caroline and her tyring to imitate RB, Rose found her phone in 1 piece! :)
Monday, I went w/ the fam. w/o Brother @ my aunt's to celebrate Labor Day Weekend! It's nice to have to weekend not just becase I'm out of school, but because it's a day to be thankful for the people working around us. Maybe it be the custodians who clean our school or the cafeteria ladies, you just gotta be thankful for them and appreciate the things they do :)
So, w/o further adue(sp?) here are pictures. By the way, I talked to Jerome today!! Thanks to Azel for calling me, he says Hi to everyone!! :) He's graduating!!! I told him we're proud of him!! :D
