A Cup of T

Eid al-Adha , also called Feast of the Sacrifice , the Major Festival , the Greater Eid and Bakrid , is an important 4-day religious holiday celebrated by Muslims worldwide to honour the willingness of the prophet ʾIbrāhīm (Abraham) to sacrifice his young first-born son Ismā'īl (Ishmael) as an act of submission to God's command and his son's acceptance to being sacrificed, before God intervened to provide Abraham with a ram to sacrifice instead.(source:wikipedia) TUESDAY, 23rd OCTOBER although it is a four-day holiday as mentioned above, we were only given 3 days for our holiday vacation starting from  25th to 27th of October for the Big Eid. but for us (meaning family and friends), we started the celebration from Tuesday(24th)night. the start of a new group called the "ChiccoRitas" (chiccos and puritas combined). it all started out as a plan to eat at TRP with Nors but then turned out to be a first ever reunion of my friends who are very dear to me h...

haraam is an arabic term meaning "sinful". this may be the correct meaning via the wikipedia but for us, nakasanayan na na everytime may nakakaawa or anything that catches our sympathy is haram. an expression we got from ate bang. 'ay nadapa siya!' haraaaaaammmm! yun yun, ganun. one time may pumunta sa office namin from NCC (National Catering Company <one of our contractors>), name explains it all, kung hindi parin gets, go figure. he resigned from his company and he is asking help from us if he could stay at least a little bit longer in the camp (i am working in a worker's village, a labor camp, btw) before moving out entirely out of the camp. he asked help from our staff instead of asking help from his own company. and habang ngdidiscuss about this i was looking at him and all i could think of is "haraaaaaaammm". by his looks i could say na hindi naman sa poor siya as in literal but he looked like one and i guess iniipit siya nung c...

 happy happy birthday to my one and only Jajing, the dreamer! our baby now a little lady :) as most bunso are, she is the joy to our family coming from an age gap of 7 years with gaye and 8 years with me. She laughs at anything and everything, even the corniest jokes that i blurt out. she remains calm regardless of all the hullabaloos. i can see me in her although i know and i admit that she's way more beautiful than i am. but we look alike sabi nila o diba..haha she's a beauty inside and out proven by the huge number of friends and fans (feeling artista kasi sya) she's got. we, speaking for the whole family, loves her so much. she will always be our baby, our bunso. i wish that she follows the step of our sibling gaye, who is more responsible and i can say, way more of a good person than i am. i wish that she would live the happiest life and that all her dreams (being a dreamer, as their group implies) would become reality. i know that she knows that as the older one...

i would usually start my day in the office having a coffee or a chai tea while browsing through my office and personal emails and browsing through my facebook, twitter and tumblr accounts before i start with the real work. today, out of nowhere, i wanted to know what exactly is the story behind the book THE PERKS OF BEING A WALLFLOWER even before starting to read it. so out of curiosity, i wanted to read regarding its story, reviews and critiques. i didn't know that it already has a movie let alone having the official trailer and an official website. well anyways, as i opened the site, this is what i saw...  immediately, after i saw the guy on the left side, without a second look... i fell in love at first sight.. literally....... ahhhhhh!!! EZRA MILLER is his name.. nakalimutan ko si Angelito, ang true love ko seryoso!! then after knowing his name, well , google came to the rescue.. nainlove nalang talaga ako ng tuluyan sa mga pictures and everything. i went through his profil...
