Written on: 11.03.2011 Time: 1:20:00 AM You can never compete with the first great love. I am not yours. But you are mine. And it is unfair but there's nothing I can do about it. I would not have counted you as my first love. But you are my first great love. I am neither your first love nor your first great love. And it kills me. It hurts but that is what I have to live with. It is not me, it is her. And no matter how much you reassure me that she is just some girl in your past, it pains me that she will always be there... In your heart... Somewhere, along the corner, there's a place for her... Like you are to me. I know that if ever we do not end up together, you will always have a special place in my heart. Somewhere... I am in no way ordering you to stop talking to her... I just want you to know that from a scale if 1-10, I am infinitely uncomfortable with you talking to her. It just hurts me to know that after everything, you still have the desire and longing to be friends with her and that you say it is a big 'sacrifice' for you to let go. Here's the deal, talk to her as much as you want. As for me. I guess I would just have to live with the discomfort. And as for you, I guess, you just have to live with the fact that by talking to your first great love, you make some girl infinitely uncomfortable... Quits. No harm done. No hearts broken... At least not yet. ♥Sara

Hi, Deo! I just want to give you this "generic" letter because I do not have anything school related homework as of today. I have three things to tell you in this letter. Sorry. Thank You. I Love You. First is that I am sorry. I was being unreasonable and totally unfair this morning. Maybe it was PMS, maybe I was just really hungry but anyhow, I still want you to know that I wholeheartedly accept the blame this time. It was my fault. I'm sorry. Not only do I want to say sorry about that little, petty fight but more so do I apologize for the series of little fights we have been having for the past few weeks. I'm really sorry. I act up a little too fast and cry a lot. I should learn to control my emotions and be more sensitive of what I make you feel. Always remember that no matter how big our fights could get, I will always be here. I will never leave you. We both have our shortcomings but they don't equate to the love we both have for each other. Second, I would like to say thank you. Thank you for understanding at all times. You are the mature one in our relationship and I am happy about the fact that each and every day, you make me grow up, though not vertically, and be as mature as you are. You have no idea just how much I count myself as lucky to have you. I admire the fact that when we have those little quarrels, you would still be the one to make the first move to make things okay; make things better. Also, thank you for respecting me at all times. You had all your chances to indulge yourself during your most recent block party but you showed me just how much you love and respect me even when I am very drunk and "out of my mind". You are such a gentleman and I love you for that. Lastly, I love you. I love you so much. I have loved you for quite some time now. People would say two, three months is a very short time. They may even add that we are just acting up on our raging hormones. As I have always said repeatedly, "Doubters do not matter." Right now, I can say that I am completely indifferent towards what they would say. I do not care. I choose you and I choose to love you. I am not expecting togetherness "forever" but I am hoping for a loving relationship every single day. I am not expecting but I am wishing and hoping that one day, you'll watch me walk down the aisle, tearing up, wearing a regal wedding dress while you anxiously and enthusiastically wait for the moment that we both say "I do." I still have a lot to say but I would rather say them in a more personal manner. Right now, all I can say is that I love you. That’s all you need to know. Nothing more, nothing less. I love you, boyfriend. Love, Sara ♥♥♥ ♥Sara
Written on: 5.16.2010 Time: 9:14:00 AM After seeing the results of the recently concluded 2010 Presidential elections, I was overflowing with emotions and comments regarding them. However, I decided to cool down a little and get it off my mind for a while. After all, I might end up regretting words that I've written after some time. Okay. I'm going to get this straight and short but I warn you, readers, it might not be "sweet". HAHA! :D May 10, 2010 - I was with my family abroad. Our flight back to Manila was scheduled at 9:55 PM which means none of the eligible voters in my family could vote. (Which, BTW, really sucks!) We arrived in Manila around 11:45 PM and we were welcomed with a horrific news that ESTRADA ranked 2nd in the presidential race. It's sad that people use completely erroneous analogies in considering who they should vote for. For instance, when an acquaintance of mine asked a taxi driver why he voted for Erap, he said that during Erap's time he could still let three days without working pass by without worrying how his family could eat. Furthermore, he compared it to the situation these days, that even if he works his tail off day in and day out, he could barely provide for his family's daily necessities. He said he was "actually" for Gibo, but knowing that he was affiliated with PGMA (Yes, she's still president as of the moment), he opted to vote for Erap. ONE. We really can't blame these people who do not UNDERSTAND the real situation. The economic demise of our country is shared globally however, the news they receive have been veneered with so much PGMA-hate that they receive altered and incorrect information. Having said that, I think that both the media and the people need to work hand-in-hand in acquiring and disseminating proper information. The media needs to help the public understand what's really going on and the public should, in return, try to at the very least analyze what they receive. Not everything on TV News is true. After all, they still have to consider their marketability and styles. TWO. It is with great melancholy that I express my disappointment with all the Filipino voters for letting one of, if not THE best president we could've had just slip away. YES, I AM TALKING ABOUT GILBERT "GIBO" TEODORO, JR. My friends and family know how dedicated I am in supporting his platform all throughout the campaign so I may be biased in one way or another. I won't be writing down how stupid the Filipinos are for not voting for him just because he is in PGMA's party or how among all the candidates, he is the most competitive and qualified, not to mention charismatic. Everyone else has done that for me and he himself, has proven those things early on during his campaign. I would just like to express one thing, Gibo was one of the best things that has ever happened to Philippine politics. He revolutionized not only politics but leadership in general. He gave us a model of how leaders, from small groups to those handling our country, should be. He brought back the importance of decency and respect in leadership. Among all the candidates, he may be the only one who didn't badmouth any of his competitors. He remained silent despite the attacks and carried on with his campaign because he knew that it's what the Filipinos need badly. THREE. By now, we are quite sure that Noy will be our next president, unless something happens to him. I feel bad for myself that I actually have tendencies to wish that something happens to him but then I am trying my best to block off all those tendencies and completely embrace that he indeed is our next president. Moving on, I realize that it is way better to have him as president rather than have history repeat itself with Erap. To Noy:
-that you won't be a corrupt official -that you will punish PGMA
WRAP UP. As a solid Gibo supporter, I would like to finish this up with the greatest thing I've learned from him. Let's just all move on and see for ourself how the "path" we've chosen turns out. Many of us have chosen Noy and we have to respect that. Faith is what got him there so it is also important that we just believe in ourselves that we made the right (it may not me the "best" and the "most correct") decision. ♥Sara
Written on: 3.31.2010 Time: 9:59:00 PM 1.) Watch seasons one to five of How I Met Your Mother.  Check! This one, I have done already. I stayed up until around 5 AM for four or five days just trying to finish this thing. I know it's not healthy but then again, it's Neil Patrick Harris! Come on, you know how charming he is... ;) 2.) Personalize my Tumblr website layout. I just want to practice and hone my Photoshop skills. As I've said somewhere in the world wide web before, it's been months since my last "decent" PS project and I got a little rusty so I have to do this. Well, maybe I'll change my layout here, too! Hmm... We'll see. 3.) Swim with my family... and friends!  I took swimming as my PE for the previous semester and I sure did enjoy it! I may not get an A but at least, I learned something practical. Taking swimming lessons didn't just teach me how to "swim" but other practical things too such as perseverance and self-trust(Is there such a word?). I DO NOT, in any way, know how to swim. That caused me to be hesitant to come to class every Friday morning. But for the last few weeks of swimming classes, I learned that going for it and just doing it wouldn't hurt. As a matter of fact, when you're lucky, you get to pick up a few nuggets of wisdom. Since I learned some strokes, I was always tempted to go for a swim whenever possible. 4.) Download Sony Vegas ver. 9.0. I love watching and making fanvids on YouTube and as I was searching, I noticed that almost all of the excellent videos I've watched were made through SV. I got envious. JK. LOL. 5.) Fix my study table. 6.) Watch "The Last Song".  I have three reasons why I want to watch this movie. First and foremost, Miley Cyrus stars in it and it's her first "out-of-Disney" movie. All of my family and friends know how big of a fan I am of her. Second, it's written by Nicholas Sparks, it should be nice. He actually concentrated more on the screenplay rather than the book so I think the story would be pretty nice and decent. Lastly, reading the book made me cry. I don't usually cry reading stories or watching movies so shedding tears for this one made me attached to it. 7.) Introduce Rockband to my cousin. 8.) Satisfy all my food cravings since January.     9.) Lose weight.  No more elaboration on this one. It has been my goal for the longest time but I always end up losing interest halfway through it. I'm easily bored and the routines losing weight requires suck interest out of me. 10.) Have fun! ♥Sara
Written on: 3.30.2010 Time: 2:08:00 AM People have to stop holding on to high school. I DO miss high school, A LOT. But I’ve realized that people WILL inevitably change no matter how much they try to resist it. I may not be exactly how I was in high school but I still am the same old friend they once had. They can still talk to me. Well, maybe this time we can’t talk about what happened the day before we met but at least we can talk about the changes we all had to go through, the things that we have in common - but in different ways. I’m only sixteen but I’m already in college. It’s hard for me to try to become someone in the future when I’m actually still in the process of discovering who I am right now. I’ve changed because I wanted to and I had to. If I haven’t put any effort in trying to “fit in” with the ways of the metro, I could’ve been a miserable homesick little girl who always cry about college - or sometimes life in general - not being “high school” enough. We’re all in college now, we have to move on. Moving on with your life doesn’t always mean forgetting your past. Sometimes, it’s just putting all your old stuff in a jar and setting it aside for the moment. Sometimes, I’d like to open the jar and reminisce things, try to remember how things were: easy and exciting, and heartbreaking but imparting. Life didn’t end in high school. As a matter of fact, it’s where everything started but just like when you start running a race all fresh and fragrant, you wouldn’t reach the finish line looking exactly how you started it.*Note: I'm not writing this because I'm mad at some people or because I have this "itch" to deal with other people's lives unsolicited but because it's what I think and how I feel. ♥Sara
Written on: 11.19.2009 Time: 8:11:00 PM Two weeks of school and I feel no stress at all. This is weird! I mean, for all of my subjects I am enjoying going to school. But not as much as I enjoy going home every time. I have been commuting for these past few weeks and I can't seem to explain why I think it's better than waiting for my mom to fetch me. It's just so... cool! Haha! I honestly think it's a sign of maturity. It helps me gain more 'street' smarts. I now know how to cross the street on my own... err... well, at least I know how! I also find it nice that I am able to save more of my allowance these days. My class schedule helps a lot! Having classes during lunchtime compels me to eat at home before going to school. Moving on, this semester has been surprising. I got a Filipino teacher whom I really really prayed for to teach us. He may not stay until March but at least, I can bank points while he's my teacher. Although I was not so pleased with the non-replacement of my teachers for English and Literature at first, turns out I am enjoying such classes anyway. My teachers seem a lot less like strangers this semester. I'm really looking forward to the coming weeks regarding the challenges my teachers for these subjects will give me. Also, having the same Biology teachers (laboratory and lecture) made me feel safer in terms of grades. I know how to study for their quizzes and tests and I also know what they are looking for students. You know, things like a student who recites a lot or a student who is punctual. Lastly, (well, this is because I haven't met my PE teacher at the moment) my Math teacher seem so friendly and pleasant. She seems more open to her students. I like the way she gives activities for extra credit and the way she always try to keep discussions alive and interactive. So far, so good! Seriously, if this is going to continue (I really hope it would!!!) then going to school would never be a chore, EVER! :D ♥Sara
Written on: 11.04.2009 Time: 11:55:00 PM  I was supposed to write about this tomorrow when I wake up but then, I realized I should stop procrastinating after reading The Last Song by Nicholas Sparks. I admit, I am worse than Ronnie was when she wasn't talking to her father for three years of her life. I have everyday as a new chance to talk to my parents and really talk to them not just spit out words. Hardly can I remember the last meaningful and real conversation I had with my parents. Sure we do talk - or speak for this matter - a lot but it dawned to me how shallow I have been during those times. Reading The Last Song has changed me, for real. I guess, it being an upcoming movie of Miley Cyrus that I take it a little more serious than the other books I've read but still, it is something. It's very unfortunate for her that when she finally realizes how much time she has wasted being selfish and stubborn towards her parents, her father especially, that it was too late for her to correct it all. She had so little time left and all that she can do was be a better person, someone far from what she has become for those past three years. The Last Song taught me how we should always tell our loved ones how much we love them. These days that time has been moving so fast and even faster each day, we should always make an effort to cherish the relationships we have and try our best to be open to new ones and hope that they would be an addition to your treasured ones. Ronnie taught me how to be strong. If I were on her shoes, it might have been too much. I might have given up without even reaching the middle of the battle. It's hard, tough even. But she stayed strong because she knew how much her father needed her. She knew that she needed to be strong because people depend on her for support. When she discovered what life really was, so did I. I discovered life by reading about her and all her experiences. I know it's just little that I may have known from this 'life' I am talking about but I know that this is enough knowledge for me to discover the other things on my own, I'll search them, I promise. Will taught me how to be selfless. He loved Ronnie and he knew what she needed. Containing all the things that her father had been going through, he restrained himself from giving affection to Ronnie. It might have been hard, not talking to the one you love when you know that she needs someone to really talk to and someone to hold on. Ronnie needed a gain when she is losing her father but Will, who is expected to be that gain restrained himself. Why? Because he knew that Ronnie needed to concentrate on her dad, to give all her love to him even just for a while, even just for the remaining days of his life. Will always seemed so giving to Ronnie and I think he did this because he was trying to help Ronnie complete herself like the way he already is. He wanted Ronnie to pick up all the pieces so that she could love him fully, he could love him completely. Steve taught me about living life with quality not just quantity. His last summer may seem like a lifetime to many. This is because he found his true happiness during just a couple of months unlike many, I may say including me, who may take a lifetime or even more to find what happiness really is. Ronnie and Jonah, seeing them and knowing them once again made him feel complete. He might not be around for the rest of their lives to witness in flesh what becomes of them, if Ronnie would be married to Will and become a world-renowned musician or just a happy mother of two beautiful kids, and if Jonah would be a great doctor or architect building churches and other beautiful infrastructure. But at least he was there when they could've felt complete about their own lives, Ronnie knowing 'the one' she'll forever love, being reconnected to her father and realizing about her bad behavior towards her mother and Jonah having to know both about his parents, how they're really like and how much they love him and him loving them back. it's just so wonderful how he loved his children. It was his story, his and Ronnie, that made me shed a lot of tears. As I have been describing it all along, sad... sad but wonderful. Love for God, love for parents and love for 'the one' are all so magical and wonderful... Applause to Sparks, only a great writer - No, scratch that. Only a great man like him can capture all such magical things and bottle it up into one great masterpiece! :) ♥Sara

It's just so... cool! Haha! I honestly think it's a sign of maturity. It helps me gain more 'street' smarts. I now know how to cross the street on my own... err... well, at least I know how! I also find it nice that I am able to save more of my allowance these days. My class schedule helps a lot! Having classes during lunchtime compels me to eat at home before going to school. Moving on, this semester has been surprising. I got a Filipino teacher whom I really really prayed for to teach us. He may not stay until March but at least, I can bank points while he's my teacher. Although I was not so pleased with the non-replacement of my teachers for English and Literature at first, turns out I am enjoying such classes anyway. My teachers seem a lot less like strangers this semester. I'm really looking forward to the coming weeks regarding the challenges my teachers for these subjects will give me. Also, having the same Biology teachers (laboratory and lecture) made me feel safer in terms of grades. I know how to study for their quizzes and tests and I also know what they are looking for students. You know, things like a student who recites a lot or a student who is punctual. Lastly, (well, this is because I haven't met my PE teacher at the moment) my Math teacher seem so friendly and pleasant. She seems more open to her students. I like the way she gives activities for extra credit and the way she always try to keep discussions alive and interactive. So far, so good! Seriously, if this is going to continue (I really hope it would!!!) then going to school would never be a chore, EVER! :D ♥Sara
Written on: 11.04.2009 Time: 11:55:00 PM I was supposed to write about this tomorrow when I wake up but then, I realized I should stop procrastinating after reading The Last Song by Nicholas Sparks. I admit, I am worse than Ronnie was when she wasn't talking to her father for three years of her life. I have everyday as a new chance to talk to my parents and really talk to them not just spit out words. Hardly can I remember the last meaningful and real conversation I had with my parents. Sure we do talk - or speak for this matter - a lot but it dawned to me how shallow I have been during those times. Reading The Last Song has changed me, for real. I guess, it being an upcoming movie of Miley Cyrus that I take it a little more serious than the other books I've read but still, it is something. It's very unfortunate for her that when she finally realizes how much time she has wasted being selfish and stubborn towards her parents, her father especially, that it was too late for her to correct it all. She had so little time left and all that she can do was be a better person, someone far from what she has become for those past three years. The Last Song taught me how we should always tell our loved ones how much we love them. These days that time has been moving so fast and even faster each day, we should always make an effort to cherish the relationships we have and try our best to be open to new ones and hope that they would be an addition to your treasured ones. Ronnie taught me how to be strong. If I were on her shoes, it might have been too much. I might have given up without even reaching the middle of the battle. It's hard, tough even. But she stayed strong because she knew how much her father needed her. She knew that she needed to be strong because people depend on her for support. When she discovered what life really was, so did I. I discovered life by reading about her and all her experiences. I know it's just little that I may have known from this 'life' I am talking about but I know that this is enough knowledge for me to discover the other things on my own, I'll search them, I promise. Will taught me how to be selfless. He loved Ronnie and he knew what she needed. Containing all the things that her father had been going through, he restrained himself from giving affection to Ronnie. It might have been hard, not talking to the one you love when you know that she needs someone to really talk to and someone to hold on. Ronnie needed a gain when she is losing her father but Will, who is expected to be that gain restrained himself. Why? Because he knew that Ronnie needed to concentrate on her dad, to give all her love to him even just for a while, even just for the remaining days of his life. Will always seemed so giving to Ronnie and I think he did this because he was trying to help Ronnie complete herself like the way he already is. He wanted Ronnie to pick up all the pieces so that she could love him fully, he could love him completely. Steve taught me about living life with quality not just quantity. His last summer may seem like a lifetime to many. This is because he found his true happiness during just a couple of months unlike many, I may say including me, who may take a lifetime or even more to find what happiness really is. Ronnie and Jonah, seeing them and knowing them once again made him feel complete. He might not be around for the rest of their lives to witness in flesh what becomes of them, if Ronnie would be married to Will and become a world-renowned musician or just a happy mother of two beautiful kids, and if Jonah would be a great doctor or architect building churches and other beautiful infrastructure. But at least he was there when they could've felt complete about their own lives, Ronnie knowing 'the one' she'll forever love, being reconnected to her father and realizing about her bad behavior towards her mother and Jonah having to know both about his parents, how they're really like and how much they love him and him loving them back. it's just so wonderful how he loved his children. It was his story, his and Ronnie, that made me shed a lot of tears. As I have been describing it all along, sad... sad but wonderful. Love for God, love for parents and love for 'the one' are all so magical and wonderful... Applause to Sparks, only a great writer - No, scratch that. Only a great man like him can capture all such magical things and bottle it up into one great masterpiece! :) ♥Sara

the blogger Name: Mary Sara Gremille Gender: Female Sign: Virgo Location: Cainta, Rizal Hello! I love writing so I put up this blog. I don't write on a regular basis. Whenever I’m feeling it and there's internet connection, I blog. There are a lot of things I blog about. The things I watch, the vacations I go on to and my digital creations. I'm a big Miley Cyrus fan so you might see entries about her and her songs here. I love watching Heroes. I am interested in pop culture. I am a junior BS Life Sciences major at the Ateneo de Manila University. Someday, I can see myself as a successful cardiologist. I love travelling and USA, Greece and the Philippines are the three countries that I would like to take a tour in. Photography is just one of the things I do for fun and I'm not really serious about it. My love for being behind the camera is just as much as I love being in front of it. I have a lot of dreams and I will do everything just to reach them. I have many fears, too. One weird thing about me is that I am afraid of baby dolls. There are also a lot of things I adore. I love shoes, chocolate, pink, books, show business and a lot more. I can say that I'm an above average student. I like Science, Computer and most especially English. I don't hate Math but I just don't like it as much as I like the other three subjects I have stated. I was born and raised in Pangasinan. Although it is a province, I am proud of being there. There are a lot of advantages, you know. I don't have a big clique with my high school friends. Actually, it has always been just me and my best friend. We just happen to be really friendly. Haha! We go with girls who have their own cliques but we sure get along. I prefer chilling out in one of my friends' houses than going to the mall. I love watching movies be it animated, drama, comedy or romance. I'm not picky when it comes to food. I eat a lot of things. This explains my current body built. Alright, now you are oriented with who I am. Just keep on reading my posts for you to know me even more. ;) the tweets |
