I enjoy myself. I've seen people where it rules their lives, who want to be thinner or have bigger boobs,and how it wears them down & I just don’t want that.
I love food. and I hate exercise. I don't have time to work out. My Aim in life is NEVER to be skinny. I am a human, not a goddess.

after my wristwatch was stolen, at our own house, (wristwatch was given to me as my father's Christmas Gift last year.) I learned to appreciate the things that I have. And live my life the way it should be. Forget the person and his doing. After all, the alleged was my cousin. I blamed him though, but I forgave him. I know the Holy Spirit sank into me and told me to let it go. I cried over night. I even gone to my work with little eyes. Shattered. Tired. I even gone home early just to breathe. Now, as I am writing this, I thank God.
My father and my mother fought because of this issue. My father, who's an OFW was brought to the hospital because of High Blood Pressure. I felt guilt. Knowing that he was alone in Saudi Arabia, we are not there to accompany him. Thank God, my father was released the other morning.
I can do anything for my family. ANYTHING just to keep them safe.
again thank God for what happened. With Him by my side, all I can say is "BRING IT ON!"
"Thanking God after He answers a prayer is Gratitude; Thanking Him in advance is Faith."
Everyday We should be thankful He wakes us up. giving the days, hours and seconds to live and share. We should be happy. And after all what He did to save us, all we need to do is pray to communicate to Him.
"When the world puts you on your knees, All you have to do is pray"
Shout to the Lord. Thank Him. And share the love that you receive everyday. Not by just monetary but in living and all.

I woke up this morning and i feel so blessed. in my whole 21 years of living on earth, I never had anything not to thank God of. He gave me the best parents that everyone wants to have. Responsible, Loving and Respectful. They taught me to be the best woman I am now. They give me everything I needed and they let me do whatever I want and gave me the best lessons in life. My sister, she'd been my bestfriend since Day 1 of my life. always been there whenever I need for her and she's the only one that can easily understand. My relatives, for being my second family. My Friends, I cannot mention them all since they knew already who they are. For they touched my life so much and help me be the best I can be. I am on my way to succession right now because of these people..I love you guys.
So happy to be me. Although I am not as perfect as everyone think of, I am contended and happy in my life I am living:)
(with Capitalization to uncover the meaning of the song. Based on Taylor Swift's Album: Speak Now.)
Long were the nights when my days Once revolVed around you
counting my footstEps praying the floor won't fall through again...
and my mother accuseD me of losing my mine
but i swore i was fine...
You paint me a blue sky and gO back and tUrn it to rain
and i lived in your chess game
but you changed the rules everyday
wondering which version of you i might get on the phone...tonight...
well i stopped picking up and this song is to let you know why...
dear john, i see it all now that you're gone
don't you think i was too young to be messed with
the girl in the dress cried the whole way home.
i should've known.
well maybe it's me and my blind optimism to blame
or maybe it's you and your sick need to give love then take it away
and you'll add my name to your long list of traitors who don't understand
and i'll look back and regret how i ignored when they said
run as Fast as you can.
deaR john, is see it all nOw that you're gone
don't you think i was too young to be Messed with
The girl in tHe drEss cried the whole way home
dear john, i see it all now it was wrong
don't you think 19's too young to be played by
your dark twisted games when i loVed you so
i shold'vE known.
you aRe an expert at sorrY
and keeping lines blurry
never impressed by me acing your tests
all the girls that you've run dry
have tired, lifeless eyes
cause you burned them out
but i took your matches before Fire could catch me
so don't look now
I'm shining like fireworks
over youR Sad empty Town...
Dear john, i see it All now that You're gone
don't you think i was too young to be messed with
the girl in the dress cried the whole way home
u see it all now that you're gone
don't you think i was too young to be messed with
the girl in the dress wrote you a song...
you should've known
you should've known
don't you think i was too young
you should've known...

My new addiction was reading, specially Nicholas Sparks books. found it addictive. Before you watch the movie, I suggest read the book first. When I watched "The Notebook" (which was very heart warming),and that started my new perspective.
I read first the A Walk to Remember. Landon Carter and Jamie Sullivan, tale of two different 17 y/o teens who fell in love and never let go. Then I read The Last Song, Will Blakelee and Ronnie Miller, the story of Summer Love and a Father Daughter relationship. Then The Notebook (The Best Ever), Noah Calhoun and Allie Nelson, story of true love, never ending and ageless. A Bend in a Road, Miles Ryan and Sarah Andrews, tale of forgiveness, love and caring. such a good book. And currently reading Dear John.
Next will be The Lucky One, Message in a Bottle and The Rescue. Can't get enough of you and your novels Mr. Sparks!
I first heard this song at Party Pilipinas in on of their GenR8 performances. Catchy music. Love it though. Although I am not that Music Buff these days because of my new addiction reading novels, this song attacked my ear drums and beat right away.
Hey, I Just Met You, and This is Crazy, But Here's My Number, so Call Me Maybe
watch the video. Call the leading man a hottie, then you'll see yourself laughing at the end. Kudos Carly Rae Jepsen!
The Notebook, a film that can make everyone cry. and everyone would love. A novel consists of finding, lost and regained love. and that given me the hint to read a book. I never loved books. I rather watch movie than reading those small letters in bulk pages.
Then i tried to read an E-Book format of A Walk to Remember. (remember Jamie Sullivan and Landon Carter?) I suddenly realized, yep..stories in the book was way differ in the movie. then I started reading them.
Currently, I am reading The Last Song. Notice that Nicholas Sparks is my author to start with. Simply because, I love LOVE stories.
I am Joanna May C. DIAZ - as you read my surname I know, everybody knows that it is not a Filipino one, but Spanish. I know it. clearly. My ancestors were spanish, and that would made up my blood have this "foreign magellan blood". But I so love the Philippines, and I know you too.
I lived in this country for about 20 years and counting, and never left. I gained a lot of friends in my 20 years and I even have a friend in school that is Foreign born with american father and filipino mother. Her skin was so fair, even mosquitoes will think twice to bite her soft white skin. She isn't fluent in tagalog but she was trying to talk, to read and communicate with our native language. And I know that's the filipina inside her.
Then I came to love sports and music eventhough I am not an athlete or a musician. I came to love the athletes making names in other countries that were half filipino. Basketball Players, Volleyball Players, Football Players and the likes. I support them because they don't fight for THEIR OWN NAME but they were fighting for the name that is printed in their front, PILIPINAS.
Aren't we that thankful to these people who has foreign blood? they choose to play for the country and for its pride. They do not play for those names at their back. And if they are handsome and pretty, that is a plus factor and it's not their fault.
One reason why Philippines cannot grow as a nation because of crabmentality. Instead of helping each other we tend to look at their differences and pulling these guys down.
I have so many words to say but I just want to make my stand clear. look first at yourself and understand where you came from. Maybe you, yourself is not a 100% pure blooded filipino.
woop! I remember the night I really don't know One Direction, I don't know that they are band. I don't know where they from and the only thing i know is they are always trending on twitter.
Gotta Be You (Director's Cut)
Then my office mate/friend always listen to their song. What Makes You Beautiful. (53 Million views as of today:)). Then I hooked up. I researched, watch their videos, their road to fame, and how they were formed. yes, they didn't audition to X Factor 2010 as a band, they audition individually. I came to like Zayn Malik, first, his eyes, he's half asian and his voice. but as time goes by, i learned to like them all. My day will never be complete without listening to their song.

I even ordered online just to buy their limited edition CD. the poster of them is on my closet. the baller is in my left wrist and their music is on my mind.
I am joining the trending topics on twitter, I downloaded One Direction App in Android Market, I am constantly voting for their video in a local music channel and whatelse? I want to watch them perform LIVE.
my last post was dated January 14, 2012. 3 days before my father's flight. today, February 06, 2012. Time fly so fast. i had new addictions, new experiences to be noted on my diary, yes I have a diary! and lose someone that I knew was a good choice.
this will start my confession. Last December (I don't know and don't want to remember the date) 2011, I met a guy. Tall, Dark, athletic features, and yes, a nice man, but lot of vices and others i cannot mention. Last week of December, I suddenly fell in. He's so sweet. Yeah, we are so sweet then.
January 23, 2012. Chinese New Year. Monday. 11 pm. Me and my mom had a talk, lasted for 1 hour. Me and my sister had a talk lasted for minutes. Eyes bulging from tears. Air I cannot exhale. Slow heart pumps. Shuttered.
name it, that's me that time. January 24, my filing day at DFA. 6 clients. hundreds of walk in applicants. 7 Liaison Officers and 10+ Government employees. My eyes were still in bulge.
February 03. I call it an end.
It's funny and very nice to know that I will still choose my family before him. I'm 20 years old, and still a baby.
Time. Flying so fast. January 16, papa will leave the La Union Grounds and will leave the vicinity of the Philippines on the 17th. Why you have to be so fast?
my first blog entry for 2012 is about those people that made me feel so happy and special.
my family.
we spent the 2011 Christmas in Montalban with my cousins in father side. My father (I am self confessed papa's girl) landed in Manila December 23, 2011. Which started the whole family fun. After at NAIA, we all gone to MoA, tired and everything, still all smiles.
from L-R, Mama, KC (I prefer to call her Kaye), Terence, Michaela, my six footer cousin AJ, my sister and me. Papa didn't join the picture, my uncle Alex took the shot and my Tita Vina was at their house then.
All fun for me that whole Xmas weekend, I filed my leave at work for 2 days for this once a year excitement.
who said we don't like eating? Carbonara, Salad, Chicken, Cake, Pichi pichi, kutsinta and a lot more at our table and we are eating with our bare hands.:)
Tita Vina and Tito Alex took their time to eat after us, but look who's still didn't get up, it's Kaye:)
Although we missed our Tita Grace, (We all hope she's happy wherever she is now) we still made it a point that we will still enjoy the weekend the moment allowed us.
