* Lucky by Von and Tatj

Von and I doing a "cover" of Jason Mraz and Colbie Caillat's "Lucky" during one of our dance practices. :|

Spot the mic.

* It ends tomorrow

Tomorrow will be the last time we'll play basketball for Zobel. Tomorrow will be the conclusion of the season that began a year ago.

I will give it my all, and for sure the others will do their best as well. Praying for a 3/3!

GO LA SALLE, FIGHT!

* Taking it to the streets

I played basketball a while ago... But not my usual ball 'cos
 I took it to the streets.

 HAHA. I'm so random. My randomness amuses me. =))

It was a very different experience. I usually play with rubber shoes on, complete with ankle support and all the stuff you need to play. Court made of wood, rubber, or cement. Against girls or the grade school boys.

This time, I played on an improvised court. Uneven soil. Outdoors. Only with slippers on. We played against guys. Big guys. Big, sweaty guys. It was such a different experience for me. The game was so intense that my slipper broke. Haha!

I had so much fun. Nic always told me to do extra work every time I'm out. I guess that's good enough for extra work, huh? :))

* Campaign

PLEASE MAKE LEBRON JAMES TWEET ME. IF HE DOES, I'M TAKING SOMEONE OUT TO DINNER. OR WHATEVER MEAL. ON ME. HAHAHAH!!!!!!!!!!

@KingJames

my twitter: @_tatjana

and you have to make your tweets unprotected so he can see.

HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!


When boredom and randomness meet.

I don't know what's wrong with me.

* Serenade

On a brighter note, I have a story that happened last week which made me feel really happy and kind of confused. Haha.

While I was walking to our house, two kids were screaming at me. One said that I was pretty and asked if I could be his girlfriend (he was around 6. HAHA!).

A few minutes after I got inside our house, the kid who just asked me to become his girlfriend started singing Filipino love songs outside our house. HAHA! I went outside to take a look. When he saw me, he said, "Bakit ba iniwan mo akong nag-iisa?" I replied... "Huh..? Di nga kita kilala eh..."


And then he left. HAHA!

* Prosaic

For some time, I considered myself somewhat... special. But as I see it now, I feel so foolish because the whole time, I was no more than ordinary.

* College

I'm suddenly excited for college. I don't know how I'm gonna survive on my own, but whatever, bring it. Hehe.

* Time

If you really care about someone, you have to make time for them.

It doesn't mean that you have to give them all your time, or talk to them every minute. Simple things such as good morning or good night messages would mean a lot. It will remind them that you still care.

I can wait. I'm not sure how long knowing that I don't really have the right.

* University of the Philippines

God is good!

I went to UP without any expectations. I never thought that I would actually pass the UPCAT. I took it because well, I can only take it once, right? I also wanted to see if I can pass without summer review classes. It was all a matter of checking if I have what it takes to be an iskolar ng bayan.


During science, Miss Joanne went to our class and told Mia she passed the UPCAT. We were all happy for her. For some reason, I got really scared. After a while, I saw Miss Joanne again outside the door and she pointed at me, and then a thumbs up. I got really excited and ran outside the door.. during class. I was screaming. First thing I thought of was, "I get to stay in the Philippines."


Deal was, I have to go to Australia for college. Unless, I pass UP.


Honestly, I was really happy not because I passed (but contributed a lot) but because I don't have to leave anymore.

Anyway, 2/2. God is good. God is good.

* Uhm

I don't know what's happening to me but recently, I've been feeling down. I've been looking at things in a different perspective. It's becoming hard for me to see things in an optimistic way.

I feel lonely most of the time. I try to be happy around my friends so they wouldn't worry about me. Nobody really reads my blog so Imma let all my thoughts out here. I don't really like talking about my feelings and I don't like bothering people even though I really want someone to talk to me and ask me how I feel.

I should lower my expectations. That way, I won't feel disappointed every time.

* MY Weekend!


Mission Youth is an apostolate of the Regnum Christi Movement that works with bishops and pastors to evangelize by engaging and sending out youth to bear witness to Christ.

The experience of the mission calls young people to grow in their personal relationship with Jesus Christ, encountering his love and having a desire to bring that love to others. Encountering Christ allows the missionaries to bring Christ to others, sharing his love and hope with all they come into contact with. 

I'm really excited for the Mission Youth Camp this upcoming weekend! It's the first ever Mission Youth Camp in Zobel (and the Philippines) and we've been planning this for a while now.

Expectations.. Well, based on the schedule, I'm pretty sure that if all is executed properly and if all of us will participate actively, then for sure it will be a blast! :D

I am very proud to say that I'm part of the team that planned this out. If successful, they might use the schedule we made for future Mission Youth camps! Hihi.

I hope to be one of the people who will help form future Missionaries of Christ that will be brave enough to go out and spread His promise!

THY KINGDOM COME!

* God wanted me to know...

You're probably familiar with this app on Facebook called "God wants You to Know." I tried it out as I usually do and today, this was what I got...

On this day of your life, Tatjana, we believe God wants you to know ... that you are to let grace flow freely from your heart.
Think back over the last few days, - how many times have you felt appreciation towards another? How many times have you thought about another: 'what a lovely smile', or 'she is so nice', or 'such a kind man', or any of a myriad of other appreciative thoughts. Did you express them? Did you come up to her and say: 'you are so nice'? And why not? Why did you stop divine grace from flowing freely from your heart? Do you want to change the world to the better? This is it, this is how you start. 


And I thought to myself, "Oh gosh I was like this for a few days until today..." People thought I was weird 'cos I was too open -__-


I expressed them, yes, but I think it came out in a weird way because I was the one who said it...

I WANT TO CHANGE THE WORLD!
(But I have to do it in another way, I guess. People might think I'm a freakazoid.)


But this does not stop me from telling other how I feel about them! :D
