Rora thinks that jetlag is stupid

waking up at 6am every morning is so lame.

Y has 1 more day left in Manila

Grabe talaga, Manila has been sooo fun!

I've been coming back past midnight, sleeping @ early hours, waking up quite early too, my living room has been packed with Tapaking (tapsilog- one of Philippines' famous dishes) and McDonalds, rubbish everywhere, 4 dead cockroaches located at random parts of the condo, sofa pillow on the floor, this afternoon's meal still on the table, luggage is opened with all my messy clothes inside, underwear on the floor, pants on the floor..etcetc hahaha not a pretty sight!!!! but I am going to clean it all tomorrow heheheheheheh.

I miss the team back home, seriously man! and I miss angel and hui ting and andrew (who still has my PSP and my fisheye lens grrrrrrrrrhh GIVE IT BACK soon pls!! hahaha) and my MUMMYYYYYYYYYYYY!! I miss my mum so much :(

Anyways school is starting soon, and I really have to get back to studying mode, I have so much work to complete still!! hmhmmmhmmm. Art, English Lit, Music... NGYEKKKK!!!!

I'm seriously going to miss everyone here too though, but what I will miss most is... the UNLI TXT! hahahaha. If you dont know what that is, in Philippines, Globe (telephone line) subscribers can subscribe to 'UNLIMITED TEXT' for 20 pesos a day (which is less than a dollar) and you can text ALL YOU WANT for 24 hours! Isn't that cool!?!??!?!??! mannnn! that's why when I reply my frens here, I can just text "hahaha" or "hi" hahahahahaha random msgs and it would cost all the same. It's so cool I tell you.. but I swear I've never texted so much in my life hahaha!

Coming back home sooooooon!!!!!!

So many interesting things have happened during my stay here, and God has been molding me and shaping me.. especially my heart :) I'm just so thankful to Him for everything that has happened, because out of these lessons I've come out of it stronger :)

I decide to choose LIFE over anything else..!

Y: oh the beauty of Your majesty..

so, 3 more days to go, and i'll be leaving this wonderful place, and going back to my home sweet home (??) Brunei.

My 16 days here has been wonderful, and tbh I'm feeling a bit sad, but happy too. So thankful that God has really opened up my eyes and heart this time around.. and I can really get used to the life here man.

I've made lots of new friends, and I've learned how to speak more in tagalog haha, learned more words too!
Had a splendid time with my Bestie Babaganush hahahaha and a lot of my bakardas here.. hehehe.

Mmmmmmmmmmm :)

Yvonne is in Manila!

Hey guys! Manila is so wonderful to the extent that I've extended my stay until Fri, Aug 15!

There's so many things to say.. so many things that happened, and a lot of first time experiences, but I just wanna say that God is soo great indeed!! :) It amazes me how God is working in the midst of all of us, even in different countries such as Philippines, Brunei, Singapore, etc. Forever He is faithful man :)

I love it here in Manila- I swear I feel like I live here now!
I just attended Lizette's 18 debut party, which was quite an experience!
Learned how to drive a motorbike- I can FINALLY balance!
Victory is great :) we're on a series- FASTER, HIGHER, STRONGER, in relation with the Beijing Olympics hehe.

I miss my mummy and the team back in brunei, and Rora of course and Bernardo Tornado!

God has indeed opened up my eyes and heart to a bigger picture of "LIFE"!

Here are some pictures of what I have been doing the past few week and the people I've been with. :)

When the going gets tough, PERSEVERE! We are saved so that we can not only start the race, but to finish the race He has in store for us! Grabe talaga, I'm just so in love with God right now... falling on my knees again to worship Him, I just love Him so much.

In a place like Manila, it's so hard not to notice the beggars, orphans, drunkards, etcetc.. it just breaks my heart when I see someone lying on the streets, with no home, no food, no money, sometimes no full clothing. It's REALITY, it's LIFE, and it's not so glamorous out there when you've finally stepped out of your comfort zone and in that box you've been in for a long time. You see things that sticks through your mind, you experience different atmospheres, and you meet all kinds of people on the streets. One thing is for sure, we are called to be salt and light in the world, and to be the church that He has called us to be.

Fix your eyes on Him and it will be a.o.k :)

The sun is rising up, it's 5.25a.m., cars, jeepneys, taxis are already so busy on the road, Manila sure doesnt sleep at all! I've got a free day today (Monday), the car is on coding (can't take out my aunt's car on a Monday, only after 7pm) so maybe I'll get a cab if I want to go out hmmm.

I have 5 more days here in this wonderful place, I'm going to make the most of it, but at the same time I have to face reality: PRACTISE PIANO! AS EXAM RESULTS! READ JANE EYRE! READ WIDE SARGASSO SEA! READ REGENERATION! PRACTISE PIANO! COMPLETE ART COURSEWORK!!

ngekkkkkkkkkkkk and school will be starting soon.

But for now, mhmmmmmm:) man, if only you knew the wonderful, amazing and exciting future He has in store for you :) if only you knew.. just continue to trust in Him.


When the storm is raging all around me
You are the peace that calms
My troubled sea
And the cares of this world
Darken my day
You are the light that shines
And shows me the way

Oh, the beauty of Your majesty
On the cross You showed Your love for me!

Beautiful Lord
Awesome and mighty
I’m captured by this love I see
Beautiful Lord
Tender and holy
Your mercy brings me to my knees
It’s Your mercy that has made me free
Beautiful Lord

When my sin is all that I can see
Your grace remains the shelter that I seek
And when my weakness is all I can give
Your gentle Spirit gives me strength again
And oh, the beauty of Your majesty
On the cross You showed Your love for me

And I am lifted by Your love to sing!
It’s Your mercy that has made me free!

You’re beautiful, my Lord
