Do Heaven and Hell Exist?

 Last night, I spent about 2 hours reading this so-called testimonies about heaven and hell showed to this Ecuadorian 18-year old girl, Angelica Zambrano, that was said to be dead for 23 hours. In her testimony, she was with Jesus Christ and He let her see the Kingdom of Heaven and Hell.

 Jesus Christ told Angelica that she must tell the people that hell really exists. She saw several known people there that you wouldn't imagine that they are there. Someone like, Michael Jackson.. We all know that the King of Pop helps the children and to bring peace on earth, but he's in hell and he's going to be tormented when Angelica saw him there. She ask Jesus why Michael Jackson is in hell. Jesus Christ answered her "He was a satanic. He had an agreement with the devil in order to achieve fame and attract many fans." I myself is shocked knowing that MJ is in hell. He helped many people. But he has sinned in making an agreement with the devil.

 Next in line, Angelica also saw Pope John Paul II in hell! This is really shocking! A pope in hell? What the hell! Then Angelica came in asking again Jesus the reason why Pope John Paul II is in hell. Jesus replied "Yes, Daughter, he may have said many things, but he would never speak the truth as it is. He never said the truth and they know the truth and although he knew the truth, he preferred money over preaching about salvation. He would not offer reality; would not say that hell is real and that heaven also exists; Daughter, now he is here in this place.”

 Angelica saw many things in hell. Imagine what you have to imagine. She's now afraid that she might not get out of hell. But Jesus Christ said "I'm with you." She was enlighten by that. Jesus brought Angelica to His kingdom.. the Kingdom of Heaven. It's like a paradise you couldn't imagine. There, you can see people and angels praising Jesus.

 Now that we've known this testimony.. Do you think these kingdoms really exists? Do you really believe? Which way you wanna go? Let's repent now.

A Letter for my Grandparents

 I know all of us have their own grandparents, right? Even though they are still living or we can just say we once had our grandparents. Lucky are those who still have their grandparents together. They are the ones helping us with our parent's problems. Just like me, I still have both of my grandparents with the side of my mother's. And I really love them both because they are the one who took care of me when my mother sacrificed me first to work hard here in Manila for my better future.

 My grandmother's already 67 years old. Her name is Hermelina R. Tibor or simply called as Lola Erly. She stood up as my mother ever since. And so I am very close to her than my real mom. You don't know how much I really love my grandma and I really miss her so much. And grandpa's name is Deogracias S. Tibor, 69. *Oh. I think I'm going to cry right now.*

All I want to do is to be with them every single day of their lives. We don't know maybe tomorrow, the other day, later or in the next 24 hours, God will take any of them? God can do everything. But I'm always praying to give my grandma and grandpa another 50 years to live. 50 decades to be together. Or even a lifetime with us.

 I don't wanna cry. I'm controlling myself at this moment. I am just doing this for my grandparents, especially to my grandma. I promise to do anything just for them to live longer and to have a good health.

 And I decided that if the time comes that God will take one of them. I surely promise to read this simple dedication for the both of them. Here it goes:

 "To my grandparents, thank you for taking care of me when I was little. I really understand how hard it is to raise a child like me. I just can't imagine that you're already gone. You don't know how much I love you both. You are my parents, first teachers and grandparents. You were the one who taught me good things. I'm really missing you now. Sorry for not being such a perfect granddaughter for you. I am just me. The little baby in your arms, the crying baby at night and the cheerful kid that has already grown up. I made this letter when I was still in my third year high school. Sorry for being immature. But please guide us wherever we are. I love you both and have a wonderful and less problematic next life with our creator. Goodbye. :'("

*I'm getting emotional already. I just really want to show how should we love our grandparents. Thank you for reading!

An Expensive Birthday

 How do you spend your birthday? Is it with your family or with your whole clan? Is it simple or a real-rock party? Or let me ask you again. How MUCH do you spend your birthday?

Tibor Clan

Birthday comes once in a year. A great party or gathering should be celebrated. I am going to tell you a story about my birthday in 2010. 

 Last year, 28th day of September, 2010. A big birthday bash was celebrated. I'm very glad to see my family, cousins, titos and titas around. They are very ready and very much dressed than me. I am the birthday celebrant that should wear casual clothes, but I rather wore a jumper and a slip-on shoes. There's an obvious act beyond their faces. They are more excited than me. Then I just consorted with them. I let them show that I am happy, excited and everything.

 We started to travel from Makati to Laguna and it took one or one and a half hour to reach our destination. We finally come to Enchanted Kingdom. One of the famous amusement parks here in the Philippines. And we're like one battalion of army coming to that place. I think we are about 20 people going there just to celebrate my birthday! All of the expenses are paid by my dad! Imagine 20 people and I only got one dad to be responsible for all of our expenses?

 Until we finally got home and let my visitors celebrate in our place. We had a double-party. And I was just like :O. But I know, it is one of the happiest birthday I ever had. My first birthday with my whole clan. And with my dad and younger brother. :)

*But always remember, money can't buy happiness.

Love-Hate Relationship with Food

Ice Cream

 Food is one of the essential things for us. We can't live a day without it (or it depends if you are in a diet). I admit, I am a gluttonous person. I love to eat anything that is very pleasing to my eyes, even though if it is a street food or something. But even though I'm kinda greedy, I'm also eligible in selecting foods to eat. I want like this, I hate like that. So, I am going to tell you what I want to eat and to let you know early as now to know where you will bring me if you'l ask me to hang out. Ha-ha. Kidding. :)

 First, I love eating cold food or anything frozen. For example, ice cream or salad. As well as in drinks, I don't like it much to drink hot beverages. I prefer cold drinks even if the temperature is kinda chilly. In place, I am very comfortable eating those things in a moderate temperature and nice view of the green trees around. That's a perfect place for me to relax and eat at the same time. Can you imagine some place like that? Do you find it cool? :)

 Let's go now to my pet peeves regarding to food. I hate stinky and dirty food. Ha-ha-ha. Common sense. I don't like eating vegetables. I don't like eating green-leafy thing. I don't eat cheese too. I really don't like cheese and I don't know why. To make you understand it easily, here's a list of what food I love and what food I hate.

 FOOD I LOVE:
- ice cream
- salads
- pizza
- lasagna
- adobo
- fresh fruits except orange, I don't eat oranges
- ALL FROZEN FOOD :)

 FOOD I HATE:
- green-leafy vegetables
- cheese
- oranges
- squids
- hot/warm foods that was already cooled
- ANYTHING THAT HAS LIVING ORGANISM ON IT :)

 *That is how I love and hate food. Eating is my life. As well as sleeping :)

One of my childhood favorite spare time food :)

When I was still in elementary, I love eating MikMik. Ha-ha. Most especially the chocolate-flavored one. And now, after 4 years (I think?) was my last time to eat this thing. I really miss it! Ha-ha-ha!
 I'm already in my Junior year, and a friend took this shot. Sorry for the neck. I'm having my adolescence. I'm starting to have my adam's apple. Kidding :p

Special thanks to:
Jeiel Micha Tacbi for taking this photo.
Toni Lyz Ariene Nario for the camera.

Daily Journal #3

 Ooopps. Good day! Sorry for not posting a journal or blog or a nonsense blog. Been busy sleeping because I'm not feeling well yesterday.

 Yesterday was just the same as the past few days. School. Home. Sleep. Eat. Sleep. Eat. Sleep.
And today, I'm a little bit disappointed because this day should be our "Mini Get-Together" with my classmates last year. But we decided to cancel it because most of them are "busy" with their own life now. I don't know, maybe all of them already forgot us, the times we were together, everything! Ha-ha. But I'm not that mellow-dramatic person. I understand them.

 I'm so bored in front of my laptop. So I decided to write my journal now. I don't talk to much this time, because I ate my lunch at 2:30 pm today. So late! Maybe my metabolism is not working well or shall I say not appropriate. And that's all I feel today. I'm really bored and sleepy. Wishing someone will come over here in my crib and bring me pizza and lasagna and fries! It'll quench my boredom. :)

 So that's all. Ha-ha. Today is really a lazy day. And I'm now playing Bruno Mars' Lazy Song. It suits my mood for today.


Les gens au revoir! Je vous aime tous! :*

Daily Journal #2

 Hello readers!

 Good Evening Ladies and Gents!
Here I go again, I'm going to tell you what happened to me today.

As usual, I woke up at exactly 5:00 o'clock AM and did my daily routine. Woke up, did some stretching, brushed my teeth, take a bath, wear my uniform, face the mirror.. Walk to school. Wait for the teacher. Bored :|

And then by 9:30 AM, we were excused for the second elimination round of "Talinolympics", unfortunately, we're not able to be in the last round. But we're proud that the other team of our section was able to join.

 And also today, I am happy because something new has come. I can't explain but I think it's very private for me. Let me tell you that next time. Ha-ha.

 Woohoo! Thank God, I'm already done with my project in Social Studies. I'm ready to pass it tomorrow, but I'm very nervous about the long tests and quizzes tomorrow. I'm hoping to pass them all. Pray for me please :)

 So, see you again tomorrow! Friday is coming :)))

Goodnight :*

Daily Journal #1

 Hello! Haven't posted for a few weeks or a month I think. I've been busy doing school works and everything. I just wanna share what happened to me today. I decided to put everything happened to me here everyday, as a journal or diary, I think? Ha-ha. So here it goes.

 Today, 10th of August 2011, Wednesday, we had our so called "Test-Test Day" in Chemistry, our first subject. We're not really surprised about it, because we already know how hard our teacher gives quizzes and exams. But we're grateful, we have passed it already *sigh*. It's a very normal day for us, after Chem, English and then Social Studies. Next was MAPEH, we took an exam about Physical Education as a review for the coming first Periodical Test next week. And then we had a break time. After that, Geometry is the next subject. But we were excused because we joined the "Talinolympics" - a contest regarding the celebration of Buwan ng Wika. We are very thankful that we won in the elimination round. And we were like "WAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!" It really made our head to work! Brain storm, headache.. Plus, the heat of the sun and the little stampede and commotion. We're very thankful about it. And tomorrow, will be the next round for the contest. We will assure to win it, to raise the name of our section, III - Platinum! :)

 And that's all for today, I really need to go to finish my project in Social Studies. See you again tomorrow! Iloveyouall. I love Philippines! <3

A Lesson from the Past

~ HIGHSCHOOL ako nang makilala ko siya. Itago na lang natin siya sa pangalang Kurimaw. Si Kurimaw ay naging kaklase ko noon at mahilig siyang maglaro ng Basketball. Unang araw ko pa lamang noon ay napansin kong palagi siyang nakatingin sa akin.. ngunit hinayaan ko na lamang siya at baka naninibago lang sa akin.

 Di naglaon, hiningi niya sa kaibigan kong babae ang numero ng aking telepono. At doon na nagsimula ang aming pakikipag-interaksyon sa isa't-isa. Noong una'y naiilang ako kapag nagkikita kami sa paaralan, dahil sa sobrang close na namin sa text. Nagulat na lamang ako nang nagtapat siya sa akin sa text na simula pa lamang ay may gusto na siya sa akin. Hindi ako makapaniwala noon. Hindi ko alam ang gagawin ko. Sisigaw ba? Magugulat? O ano pa. 

 Naisip ko na baka pinaglalaruan niya lang ako. Ngunit ramdam ko na rin siya. Hindi ko talaga alam. Dahil una pa lamang, isa sa mga gusto ko sa  mga lalaki ay marunong maglaro ng basketball. Hindi na rin siguro naging mahirap sa akin ang paghanga sa kanya. Masaya siyang kasama. Palatawa. Mahilig magbiro. Lahat!

 Ilang buwan din ang lumipas. Naging matabang na siya sa akin. Siguro'y dahil ito sa pagiging isnabera ko kapag nagkikita kami. Ang totoo'y nahihiya lamang ako sa kanya. Wala na ang dating Kurimaw Wala na ang Kurimaw na nakilala ko. Wala na ang Kurimaw na sweet. Wala na.. 

 Nalaman ko na lang sa kaibigan niya na may nililigawan na siya. Totoo. Masakit iyon para sa akin. Ngunit wala na akong magagawa dahil wala na siya. Sinayang ko ang mga pagkakataong ako dapat ang nasa harap niya. Ako ang nasa isip niya. Ako lang ang nakikita niya. Binalewala ko ang lahat ng ibinigay niya. 

 Ngayon, hindi na kami gaanong nag-uusap. Wala na kasing dahilan para mag-usap pa kami. Mas ikinabuti rin ng aking paglipat ng eskuwelahan ang paglimot sa nakaraan. Sa mapait na kahapon...

 Ngunit nagpapasalamat na rin ako sa kanya, at natutunan ko ang isang mahalagang leksyon sa buhay ng isang lumalaking tulad ko. Huwag balewalain ang mga bagay na ibinibigay sayo ng iba. Kailangan natin silang suklian upang ipamahagi din nila uli sa iba. 

 At hindi rin naman siguro ako nagkamali sa ginawa kong hindi siya ang inatupag ko. Sa katunaya'y pag-aaral ang inuna ko kaysa sa pag-ibig. At malinaw na sa isip ko na normal lang sa isang teenager ang ma-in-love at magkaroon ng problema na dapat niyang ayusin nang mag-isa. 

 A true to life story. 07/16/11 1:19AM

My English Teacher said that I should write MY AUTOBIOGRAPHY

On the 28th day of September 1996, I was born to my mom, Gemma Tibor, at Sibut, San Jose, Nueva Ecija. She named me Ma. Theresa Tibor.

My family and relatives used to call me Bebe or Tere. But my close friends rather chose calling me Cham. Please don't ask me why they call me that thing. It's a LOOOOOOOOOOONG story.

Nueva Ecija is not our home province. My mother used to live there with my titas and titos, because of her early pregnancy. Mom got pregnant when she was in her second year college. Yes, I know, she was very young that time. My mom and dad were not together then. I had not the chance to see my father while I was growing up. But I know, dad is in Saudi Arabia right now, and he still is not married. I have a half-brother though from my father's side. Today, I'm with my mother and she's married with another man. But they have no children at all. 

A couple of months after my birth, my mom brought me home to my lola and lolo in our home province in Albay, Bicol. And I stayed there for 12 years. For all those years, when I was little, my grandparents took care of me. Early on, they enrolled me in a Day Care center, then transferred me to a Catholic School, St. Mary's Academy of Ligao where I graduated from pre-school and elementary grades.  I got the 5th place during my elementary graduation in 2009.

Soon after my graduation, my dad gave me the opportunity to meet him. It was in the summer of 2009, at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport, that I saw him and hugged him for the very first time. We went to Boracay and spent some time there. We’ve got the chance to bond together and got to know each other. Yeah, I felt happy for a moment. 

Just before I entered secondary school, my parents decided to transfer me to Makati for two main reasons. First, they wanted me to get the opportunity to have a better quality education. Second, they thought it would even be much better for me if I stay with my mom, whom I had not the chance to stay with constantly, due to her work in Manila, for many years.

In June 2009, they enrolled me at the Fort Bonifacio High School. However, I didn't finish my freshmen year there. It was because we moved to San Pedro, Laguna, where my mom had her own house. At St. Peter Academy in San Pedro, where I experienced a new school environment, I finished my first year high school and got the 2nd honor award during the recognition day.

Unfortunately, typhoon “Ondoy” affected much our home in San Pedro which made my mom, decide to go back to Makati. In 2010, I found myself, a sophomore then, at the Benigno "Ninoy" S. Aquino High School (BNAHS).

It seemed to me that, luckily, we were to stay here in Makati for good. At first, I found it hard though to adapt to a new environment. But then I easily learned to get along with my new friends. I was in a regular section last year, II - Onyx, under Mr. Jimmy A. Mariano, a math teacher. 

At the beginning of the school year 2011-2012, I was surprised upon hearing that I was moved to class III–Platinum, the star section for juniors at BNAHS. I didn't know why. But I had doubts if I really belong to this section. I just couldn’t really imagine that someone like me had been transferred to the cream section. But I could not do anything about it now. I think I just needed to accept it and go with the flow.

Until now, I’ve been feeling that I couldn’t still adapt. They are fast learners, while I am just a medium learner. I wish however that someday I would be able to adjust myself with my new learning environment and with my new friends and classmates.

Glancing back at my 14 years of existence, I have realized that I have many things to do, many dreams to reach and many time and opportunities to fulfill them.

Yet, I still have a vague idea of what I will be tomorrow when I am grown up. Will I be a garbage girl? Will I be able to help my family and make them happy and proud of me? I don't know. But for now, I am doing all my best for whatever I will be in the future: lovin' photography. :)

A Nothing-To-Do Day

Magandang araw! :)

Ngayon araw (Abril 26, 2011) ay nagising ako ng mga bandang alas-nwebe ng umaga. Ginising ako ng tita ko dahil aalis siya at ako ang maiiwang mag-isa dito sa Condo ng BUOOOOOOOONG araw. Oo, bored ako dito. Pero nag-eenjoy ako mag-isa. Nakakapagmuni-muni ako. Natuto ako maging responsable sa sarili ko. Naisip ko lang, di ko kaya magluto ng pagkain ko. Kaya iniiwanan na lang ako ng pera ng tita ko para kumain sa labas.

Kagabi lang ay ang una nating pag-uusap. Maikli lang pala ang pag-uusap natin kagabi. Di ko akalain, pero may isang nagcomment sa blog na iyon. Haha. Natawa ako sa comment niya. Kaibigan ko yung taong yon. Oo, kaibigan nga, sa Facebook. At sympre sa personal. Haha. Change topic, o libreng plugging 'yun kay Sushmita Myka Go. Haha.

10:39 am. Habang ginagawa ko itong blog na ito. Gutom na gutom ako. Gutom na gutom dumaldal. Di pa ko nag-aalmusal dahil wala pa ko sa mood. Pero hindi yan ang pag-uusapan natin. Pag-uusapan muna natin ang mga bagay na ayaw ko at gusto ko. Unahin muna natin ang mga gusto ko.

Mga gusto kong gawin:

-kumain

-dumaldal

-gumala

-matulog

-at matulog ulit

Hindi pa seryoso yan. Ayaw ko kasi ng seryoso sa araw na to. Masayahin akong bata. Sobra. Kahit may problema, kailangan masaya ka. :)

Mga ayaw ko:

-ayoko yung taong makulit pagsabihan

-ayoko yung madamot

-at marami pa.

Sinyales yan ng taong walang magawa. Naiisipan mong gumawa ng mga listahan ng ayaw at gusto mo, pero di mo naman natatapos. Kalokohan!

10:44 am. Ambilis ng oras. Kanina lang ay 10:39. <*ngiti*>.

Kilala mo ba si Bob Ong? Si Bob Ong ang paborito kong manunulat na Pilipino. Parehas kasi kami ng nasa utak pag binabasa ko ang mga libro niya. Napapatawa rin ako sa mga kwento niya. Kaya kung reregaluhan mo ko ng libro, aba'y libro na lang niya. Kung mga libro naman ng mga dayuhan ang ibibigay mo, masasayang lang itong naka-stock sa cabinet ng mga libro. At baka ibenta ko ito sa Divisoria.

10:47 am. Alam ko nasa utak mo. Walang kwenta ang binabasa mo ngayon. Gusto ko lang kasing makipag-usap sayo kahit ako ang laging nagsasalita.

10:48 am. Nakakarinig ako ng tick-tock ng orasan. At tunog ng hangin mula sa electric fan. Pukpok ng martilyo sa pako sa kabilang building. Lagatak ng mga daliri sa keyboard.

At.... At ang paghinga ko. Rinig na rinig ko. (Paki mo?)

Mahilig ako dumaldal. Sobra. (Halata naman diba?) Kahit di ko kilala ang kaharap ko. Nakakapag-share ako ng mga bagay na naiisip ko. Ultimo pagkain ng sundot-kulangot ay naitatanong ko.

Sabi ng nanay ko, "Masama ang nagsisinungaling". Naniwala naman ako. Pero di ko pa rin mapigilan ang pagsisinungaling na ako ang umubos ng feminine wash niya na inakala kong shampoo.

10:52 am. May natanggap akong text galing sa kaibigan. Isang GM (Group Message). Sabi niya "Hindi kami bagay... Tao kami." Malamang tao ka, nakakapagtext ka nga ho eh.

Maraming tao na sa Pilipinas ang mahilig bumanat. Banat as in banat. Yun bang mapapakilig mo ang isang tao sa mga "hanggang salita" lang na mga yun. Ha-ha!

Ako naman magtatanong sayo. May twitter ka ba? Ako (@chamchamss) follow mo lang. :)

10:54 am. Naisipan kong tapusin na muna natin ang blog na ito. Gutom na kasi ako at wala na akong maisip na idadaldal sayo. Oh pano 10:55 am na. Brunch na ko.

Hanggang sa muli! :* xoxo

This is my First Blog Ever!

Bakit kaya naisipan mong basahin ang blog na ito? Kahit walang kwenta? Pero kung iisipin, karamihan ng mga pinoy na nag-bblog eh nag iingles. Ano bang meron sa Ingles? May mga Pilipino silang tagasubaybay na hindi gaano maintindihan ang mga sinasabe nila. Tsk. Tsk. Tsk. Mga pinoy talaga.


Teka muna, saglit. Nagkakilala na ba tayo? Ako nga pala si Ma. Theresa Tibor, mas kilala sa tawag na cham panget. Pero di ako panget. Haha. Di rin maganda. Nasa high school palang ako ngayon. Incoming Junior na sa Benigno "Ninoy" S. Aquino. Sa Makati ako nakatira. At ganito kami sa Makati. Try mo? Ikaw ano pangalan mo? Pagbibigyan kita ngayong makausap ako ng di ko nalalaman ang pangalan mo.


Bago pa lang ako dito sa blogspot.com pero okay lang. Minsan gusto ko lang dumaldal ng wala sa oras. Minsan mas pinipili kong manahimik na lang. I-add mo na lang ako Facebook. http://www.facebook.com/MimicWafa. Pakilala ka ha! Sabihin mo nabasa mo blog ko at natuwa ka.


Hanggang dito na lang muna ang pakikipag-usap ko sayo. Maraming salamat! xoxo
