Sweet Sassy Princess

a diary of a princess wannabe!

Welcome to my Palace!

Hi I'm Jhellai, a girl with a fantastic and mind-boggling imagination. lols. a photographer wannabe, a frustrated writer and a multimedia artist in the making.

Visit her palace to witness the "princess" journey- Her ups and downs and victory. Will she find the word "everafter?"...

...

"We dream of fairytale endings with our prince fighting the dragon and the evil witch.. but in reality, sometimes the prince simply makes the princess fall in love, then the princess will do all the fighting.."

"Sometimes i wanna cry out my long kept tears. But I'm scared that no one will bother to show some care and that's why i decided to keep it all here and i dont care even if if will be to hard to bear because sometimes... Even friends don't mind if your in pain as long as they see you smile, they assume you are ok."

I feel alone right now.

I'm missing them so much, I've been busy for a long time. I miss my OPS team, i wish I could be with them in Cebu RIGHT NOW!!! I guess they were having fun there but me? im here inside my room ALONE. I can't join them because we have a big family reunion tomorrow (sunday) i have to chose my family because they should be my priority.

My Summer Escapade 2008

Lot’s of updates.

Oh my! I owe my site lots of updates… It’s already June! Half of the year, time flies so fast… The sad part is… Summer is over!

Alright, let me enumerate the places I’ve been this summer 2008.

Photobucket

1. White Beach Puerto Galera
I’ve been there twice. This is just an overnight stay. Just read the post prior to this for the story.

2. Pundaquit Beach
Pundaquit Beach is located in San Antonio Zambales. Around 4 hours drive from Manila. Nice beach and clear water but too bad, it was gloomy in the afternoon and the sunset didn’t show up well that time. We stayed in the resort called Wildrose Inn.

3. Camara Island
Just across Pundaquit. Around 10 minutes boat ride. The place was relaxing. You can see the view of Pundaquit Mountain.

4. Capones Island
I love the white sand here. The water is clear like a crystal. You will definitely enjoy the place. Capones is just around 5 minutes boat ride when you’re coming from Camara. I didn’t get a chance to explore the Capones Lighthouse because the water going to the side where the lighthouse is located was rough that time.

5. Anawangin Cove
Around 15-20 mins boat ride from Capones. This is a Paradise! I love the environment in Anawangin- the two different bodies of water, the mountains around, the white sand, the clear blue-green water, the pine trees…the views and all about Anawangin! This is a true breath taking place. But—I was frustrated when I saw trashes around. **People, Please do not leave your trashes in the island. Save Anawangin!

6. Pansol Laguna
Pansol is known for hot spring resorts. We just stayed in a private pool called “Harong ni Charing” This is a cool and clean place for a day trip getaway.

I LOVE MY SUMMER ESCAPADE!

Galera 08 with HS budz + Snapshots

Mood: Bored
Currently listening to: The sound of silence.

The overdue story is here...toink! We (Me, Nikki, Bam, Mirick, Carlo & Dianne) went to Puerto Galera last April 5-6, 2008, It's just an overnight stay but it was fun. I will make the looong story short... The 1st day was so tiring- swimming and pictorial under the beautiful sunset... It was one of the best sunset I've seen so far. the long white beach was crowded. At night, We tried the Mindoro Sling, tastes good just like an ordinary juice mixed with wine. we also stayed at the seashore watching the stars and exchanging stories, i fell asleep too coz i'm not feeling well that day. Yes I'm sick but nobody stopped me from enjoying the cold water of white beach.lol. The night was sooo cold too. The next day, oh it's raining! we're supposed to witness the sunrise but we went outside around 8am. We went to the other side of the beach, we climb on the rocks and we're just holding on the roots and woods around what a hell of experience but it was so challenging & exciting! I am proud! lol. After climbing, strolling & swimming, we went to the shops to buy souvenirs, ate our lunch, henna tat, stroll, massage etc... it's around 4pm so we prepare ourselves to go back to the real world and I'm home around 12 midnight. aaaaaw. what a memorable escapade! till next ;)

It's a boring sunday afternoon, Just staring on my PC, browsing, stalking others account haha and blogging while watching TV. I'm so tired from last week's activities and work. Regarding my visa, hmm... denied. haha. But I'm happy because God showed me the right way. Here's the story: I got a text from the agency..."your passport is ready for pick up". So i went to Makati with my mom to see the result and... Denied! One thing that comes first on my mind was "shocks sana pinang shopping ko na lang yung nagastos ko!" haha. I'm ok naman ganun talaga, at least i tried no more what if's!. After hearing the news, my mom and I decided to go to Greenhills, while having snack at one of the establishment there... I got a call from a company na inapplyan ko before and invited me for an interview. Kinabukasan 9:45am pa lng nasa office na ko, 10am ang interview ko, pero 10:30am na ko tinawag... After the interview with the HR, nag practical exam na ako, they gave me an hour to create a web interface for an online store, written exams and final interview then job offer na. ang bilis! I'm working now for the company as Web Developer, but I'm still on the adjustment stage, schedule, environment, job and people, but for me as long as you love/like what your doing, you will enjoy it! (1 week na ko next week) mahirap at ang dami ko pang dapat matutunan at aralin kaya mababawasan na din ang "photowannabe moments & gimik days" in short social life! hahaha but im still open for weekend "rakets"! haha paging Trumpets.. Stages.. hehehe. hmmm wala pa kong nasusubmit na requirements sa HR! walang time ayusin hahaha. pero next week i need to complete it na. pasaway :D It's so funny lang kase sa visa application ko, Feb 26 yung date ng departure ko dapat, then Feb 26 ung hiring date ko naman. (dont ask me na re: visa, it's over and I'm happy) grabe sooo true talaga that when God closes the door, He opens a window! and everything happens has a reason. Thank you God because without you im so so nothing and i want to give back all the glory and praises to you, I'm so blessed, I know i'm not perfect but you showed me your unconditional love. I hope and pray na makayanan ko tong new chapter sa life ko (naks!) and This is it! ;)

OMG. I'm back into blogging. It's been a long time since my last post :P Lots of things happened. wheew! I'm slight BUM now (doing some freelance job) & I'm bored. Just finished my web project. I'm waiting for something, yeah waiting for my visa! I'm hoping that the embassy will grant me one. I'm excited to explore new things, excited to meet new faces and i can say I'm ready to face new challenges, ready to be away from my family and friends, ready to be alone and find myself haha (for a while). 1-3 months away is not long, I'm back before you knw it... If i'm going to pass! (oh please let me pass... I'm going back noh!) It's so hard to decide but there's nothing wrong in "trying", If this is the time i would gladly accept it. If not? I'll respect it and think that God has better plan for me...


PHOTOGRAPHY. yes i have this passion for photography lately and I'm dreaming to be a professional photographer doing print ad shoots, magazine shoots, product shoots, events shoots etc... Just got new Sony Cybershot H7 last December as a Christmas present for myself- this is a prosumer / semi professional camera. I want to have DSLR one of these days... hopefully :D So need to work hard! coz it's expensive to have one. Take a look at my sample shots in my "snapshots" category at the right side --> I'm looking forward to shoot with my bride to be friend Jhen for their unofficial "prenup shoot" at the Ecopark soon! and also to be the "unofficial photographer" for her wedding on March 1 if!!!, I'm still here, only God knows. I'm one of the entourage but i have dilemmas in my schedule so I ask my friend to remove me on the list (im so sorry) but promised her to be one of the "photographer" if i could come.


CRAYPASS PAINTING. yep I'm trying to revive the lost "skill" i bought a new set of craypass and whiteboards. Too bad, why is it hard for me to draw and blend colors now? Please bear with me.
Im happy that i learned a lot of things this past weeks and i got one achievement that means a lot to me. But still... I really need a break to find myself honeslty because Im still confused & i dont know which way to go... So i hope God will grant me this special request that I've been praying for. One more thing, I moved on! whatever it is? just leave it to me :P
