I'll go home in Bohol tomorrow because it's the feast day of our patron saint, Saint Vincent Ferrer.
Saint Vincent Ferrer, O.P. (in Valencian: Sant Vicent Ferrer) (January 23, 1350 – April 5, 1419) was a Valencian Dominican missionary and logician; born in Valencia, Kingdom of Valencia (modern day Autonomous Community of Valencia, Spain), as one of the sons of William Stewart Ferrer (sometimes spelled William Stuart Ferrer), an Anglo-Scottish nobleman descended from the English (de) Ferrer family and the Scottish Stewart (Stuart) family, and his Spanish wife, Constantia Miguel.
Ferrer was professed in the Order of Preachers at the age of 18, and after studying philosophy and theology, eventually became Master of Sacred Theology. He was commissioned to deliver lectures on philosophy. He was sent to Barcelona and earned his Doctorate in Theology at the University of Lleida, the main university of Catalonia at the time.

One of his more controversial achievements in Spain in 1391 is to have preached to the mobs whose riots led to the appropriation then transformation of a synagogue into a church, Santa María la Blanca[1].
Saint Vincent died on April 5, 1419 at Vannes in Brittany and was buried in Vannes Cathedral. He was canonized by Calixtus III on June 3, 1455. His feast day is celebrated on April 5.
The Fraternity of Saint Vincent Ferrer, a Pontifical religious institute, is named after

During this occassion, we as Christian Catholic cook delicious food & invite many people to eat the food that we prepare. Likewise, we go to church & adore him. Also, the officials of the barangay organize a party to be attended by all the people. Then, we have a disco party in the late evening, we drink liquor and we join the many different games or activities that are prepared by the officials of the barangay.
This is one of the occassions where in most of the people in the barangay who work outside the island would go home in order to join the celebration. This is one form of "family- get-together" in the place. So, it's fun, joyous & memorable.

It's so funny. I have just received an email from a modelling agency in the U.S. They invited me to be one of their models; because they're looking for Filipino models. They saw my profile in www.MYSPACE.com .And, they're interested to get me.
I visit their website to confirm if their agency is true and is existing..and, yes...it exists.
Well, I'm not so sure if the invitation is true and realistic; but I'm flattered because somehow my face got their attention. It's a pleasure on my part but I don't think I qualify.

This morning my friend arrived from Agusan del Sur and he brought pastels of Camiguin Island for me. I was happy to recieve those pastels because it's rare to find them here in Cebu.
Pastel is the delicacy of Camiguin Island. It's very sweet and yummy. Thus, many people by this when they go to Camiguin Island or in the other places near the island.

These are our new sets of uniform. We began wearing these just this week.
What do you think? Are they nice?

I've been feeling ill since last week. I couldn't sleep lying on bed because I felt dizzy and I thrown up; likewise, I couldn't look up and shook my head. Thus, I slept sitting. I decided to go to the doctor this morning but a friend of mine texted me and told me to try drinking an orange juice mixed with milk and an egg yolk first; and, if nothing would happen I had to go to the doctor.
Thus, even if I felt dizzy I went to the store to buy one bottle of orange juice, 1 small can of evaporated milk and 1 egg. Then, I mixed all the ingredients and drank afterwards. It tasted sweet but I didn't like because of the egg. I almost thrown up after drinking.
After 10 minutes I felt good. The mixture was effective. So, I was very happy because I couldn't go to the hospital anymore....I don't want to be hospitalized because I'm afraid of the hospital.

I'm not feeling well today. I have a sore throat, headache & colds. I got these because it drizzled yesterday while I was going to the office; and, I forgot to drink plenty of water when I arrived.
I already took medicine this morning and a while ago. I took Tuseran forte, Neozep & Enervon C. But I'm still not feeling well. I wanted not to report to work but I already have a class schedule. So, I have no choice other than to work. Anyway, I know I'll feel better soon.
What a bad day?

This morning my nieghbors woke me up very early because their daughters were going to attend a UN ( United Nation ) program at school. They asked me to be the make up artist of their daughters. I was shocked because I didn't know how to put the make up properly. But they begged me to do it; thus, I said "YES" to them. So, I just tried my very best to atleast make their daughters look beautiful. Well, in the end they were satisfied with how I put the make up.On the other hand, their daughters wore costumes of the countries they chose to represent.
It was a funny experience of mine but I learned many things. It doesn't matter if I can't do things perfectly, atleast I try my very best for it. As well as, atleast the people whom I render service are happy and contented with what I do. Lastly, atleast I am able to help other people...right?

Atlast we got the pictures from our pictorials last month. Teacher Saring brought the CD last night. We were happy to see our different poses in the photos.
On the other hand, I think I have to straighten my hair again because I don't look good in a curly hair. But I'm a bit afraid because my hair is already damaged with the chemicals used in straightening & curling hair.

I'm happy because my friend will be coming here from Mindanao for a vacation in my house there in Bohol. He'll be bringing durian. I like eating durian. It's yummy and it's good for the health because it has lots of nutrients.
Durian is a fruit that can only be found in Southeast Asia. The name Durian comes from the Malay word "Duri" means "thorn" together with the suffix -an ( for building a word in malay) meaning " thorny fruit". Durian is known as the " King of the fruits".
In the Philippines it can only be found in Mindanao, so it's expensive to buy in some parts of the country like in Cebu, Bohol, Manila, etc.
It's fruit is distinctive for its large size, unique odor and a formidable thorn-covered husk.
My friend will be here on the 3rd week of the month. I can't wait for my friend to arrive..I can't wait to taste durian..

Last night I watched a documentary about human trafficking that is still happening in our country. I felt pity to the victims of this crime because most of them were still very young (ages 12-17 years old) and they came from remote areas. Thus, they were easily victimized by the recruiters/ human traffickers, especially that they're very poor, naive and innocent as well as their parents.
If only the economy of the country is very good and if only education is easy to get, probably human trafficking wouldn't exist.
But I'm thankful to the people in media who keep on televising this crime because it helps the people in the remote areas to be aware about this, on the other hand for the recruiters to stop doing the crime.
Human trafficking is one of the worst realities in the country. I just hope little by little the people would be educated about this; on the other side, the recruiters/ human traffickers would be sent to jail....for this crime to disappear.

Last night I watched a documentary regarding the farmers of Sumilao, Bukidnon who are walking or marching from their place to the Malacanang Palace in order to ask the President and to the members of the Senate to give them the farm that they've been working on for a long time. Walking towards the Palace is not a joke because it would take 2 months for them to do it. And, no one is sure if all of them can survive from it. Especially that there are old farmers who join the journey and the weather is not good all the time ( sometimes it rains and sometimes it's hot).
I feel pity to them. I understand their reasons and sentiments. I just hope they could get what they want. I just hope all of them can survive the journey. And, I hope that the President would see the sacrifice that they're doing.
Today is the 5th day of their journey, so they still have to walk for more than a month.. How I wish they can survive?

This morning I went to the wet market to buy vegetables and shrimps. But before I went home, I saw yellow corns; and, it reminded me of our farm before. My parents planted corns ( yellow & white) on it. Then, my mom used to boil young yellow corns.... and I like it..it's yummy.
So, I bought yellow corns and I boiled 'em..It's really delicious..

I'm a bit busy today. I'm busy with small things and with my work..but, thanks to myself...,I'm a fighter!
It's already late night but I'm not yet having a dinner. I'll just eat dinner as soon as I get home..

We had no classes the other day and yesterday ( for, it's halloween) , so I was able to relax. I didn't go out for fun... I just stayed home, watched TV, took a rest, washed my clothes and cleaned my nails.
But I sobbed last night because I felt very lonely. My brother lives with me but he doesn't sleep in the house every night because he's at work. So, I always sleep alone. Eventhough I used to live and sleep alone...but there are still times when I feel lonely.That's why I'm happy everytime my mom or my niece or my sister take a vacation here in Cebu.
On the other hand, I felt that I'm bad because I didn't go to the cemetery yesterday and I didn't say a prayer & prepare a food for my dead relatives. ( It's a tradition here in our country to visit our dead relatives in
the cemetery and to pray & prepare food for them during halloween.)
Do you think I'm bad?
