Just an Alter-ego.

While I'm looking at my facebook, checking some recent posts from my friends I found a youtube video of a  girl singing a song by Pink, "Just give me a reason".  She got full round lips covered with red lipstick, messy hair, and she sounded so terrible...so ugly.  She's a WEIRDO. She's out of tune and didn't even know the lyrics of the song. She's so quirky, comically talent-less, and egotistical. I even told myself: "Crazyy! Shabu pa! Maybe this girl is high in drugs". Ohhh, scaryyyy!

 I got curious about her, I tried to look for her other videos, and I got a lot! She has a lot of music videos, tutorials and vlogs on youtube. And I got to know that her name is Miranda Sings. All her videos were insane, that made her famous  in United States of America. This girl must be crazy. 

Miranda Sings

One day, I just found out that she is just an Internet character created by Colleen Ballinger (her real name). Colleen is an American comedian, actress and singer. She created the character as a satire of the many bad but egotistical singers who believe that posting their videos on YouTube will lead to them breaking into show business. She told The Times of London, "There were a lot of cocky girls who thought they were really talented, and they weren't. They were so rude and snotty, it drove me nuts. Then I saw all these girls trying to make a career out of putting videos on YouTube ... clueless to the fact that they were terrible. The characters were so ridiculous, I wanted to make one of my own."

If you feel sad, alone, or even bored to death, you better watch her videos and you'll end up laughing so hard. Catch her on Youtube: mirandasings08

Twenty is Love.

Now, I've reached the 20th year of my life. How time flies so fast indeed. I can compare my journey as metamorphosis of a butterfly. Yesterday, I was just in my cocoon struggling to get out as I prepare myself to see the real world but now I'm a full-grown butterfly. A mature and a productive one that our country could be proud of. 

But of course, I will never be a butterfly without these significant people, and I have to thank them. First in my list is the Almighty Father. Lord, thank you for giving me the gift of life. Without you, I am nothing. Next, would be my ever supportive parents, Ma and Pa, thank you for being my pillars and wings for me to soar high and reach my desires in life. You brought out the best of me that I never knew was inside. To my relatives and friends who gave me unconditional love and for being there through the ups and downs of my life. Of course, to my boyfriend who seemed to be my brother and bestfriend as well. Thank you babe! I know you love me and I know how much you care about US and our relationship, thank you for being there always. Yeey! 5years and counting.. <3 Mwah! And to my former classmates and colleagues at work, YOU GUYS WERE ALL AMAZING! Cheers for our friendship! 

My journey became spectacular because of these people. Ohhhhh! I could not ask for more. 

All for the glory of God.

I'm 20 and I'm loving it...

When I met her~Ara Galang.

Three years ago, I hate seeing my younger sister watch UAAP Volleyball due to the fact that I am not a sports enthusiast unlike her who is a Badminton varsity player in her school. I hate it every time I hear her cheering for DLSU Lady Spikers. Stephanie Mercado, Jacq Alarca and Cha Cruz tends to be her favorite players. I remembered one day she found a post on a social media site that the Lady Spikers will join the 17th Sandugo Unigames which will be held here in Bacolod. I could really see so much happiness and hope in her eyes knowing that she can finally meet her favorite volleyball team. One day, she approached me and asked if I can accompany her. I was really hesitant. "No wayyy!" I said. But looking in her eyes, I realized that she will be the happiest person if she can meet these girls. "Okaaay, I'll take pictures na lang".

While waiting for the game to start, up and close with the Lady Spikers one girl caught my attention. Well, aside from her short hair, she looks very simple, so quite, she has braces, and she's wearing jersey number 10. And when she turned her back.."GALANG" - her jersey name. I asked my sister if that "GALANG" girl is a good player and she told me "Syempre! she's the Rookie of the Year last season. Basta! watch and learn lang!". I ignored what my sister said about that "Galang" girl because it was so hot and I could barely breathe, I didn't even watched the whole game since I prefer to stay in the foodcourt to grab some lunch. After the game, of course as promised, I have to take pictures. My sister went to all the members of the team and lastly to that "Galang" girl for a picture, "Alright! 1..2..3..smile!" ***photo captured*** "Thank you po!" Galang said.

After witnessing how the girls play during the Unigames I tend to like them, but not really a fan type. I watched their first UAAP game for season 75 with UST Tigresses and finally these girls captured my heart although they didn't win the game. But as what they said, "BAWI! LABAN! TIWALA LANG". I saw in their eyes the passion, sheer determination and heart in what they do. Girl power! And of course who would not notice a phenom in skills, VICTONARA "ARA" GALANG #8.   Every time the ball is set to her for an attack, you better be ready because she will nail it. You amazed me so well. You dive for the ball with strength and courage. You block with  greatness. You spike with power.  Superb skill indeed! Simply amazing! That girl got swag. You never fail to put a smile on my face every time I see you score and play in the court. You're such a joy to watch and your smile is so adorable. So, precious.

[PS: Regrets. I really regret the time I didn't take a picture with you. Oh no! binalewala ko lang ang Rookie of the Year Season 74 and Co-MVP Season 75. Yung feeling na, you were so close to me and I could even touch or hug you pero pinalipas ko because I was so dumb na hindi ko alam na si "ARA GALANG" ka pala. Yun tuloy, inggit na inggit ako sa sister ko. I'm planning to delete the picture of you and her nga eh! Hahaha. Charaught lang! Well, don't loose hope ika nga. Di bale, may next Sandugo Unigames pa naman and I hope you'll visit and play again here in Bacolod.]
