thoughts on the rush

I'm in an emotional hurricane lately. I don't know what to do with all this confusion in my head. I didn't go to work to have time for myself and to ask questions to my Dad, our Lord God. I'm about to make the biggest decision in my life.

Taking my ALE board exam is really getting on my nerves. I know I have this feeling of great determination that I can do it, but there's another side of me that maybe I can't. I'm so confused. So, here i am. . . blogging all my thoughts out. and I'll be reading my bible later ad have my devotions and maybe God will reveal to me what to do.

yes or no?

the title before my name

This photo reminds me of everything I wanna be by January 2014.
I'll be taking my board exam and I just can't wait to "go to war".
If it's God's will, then that title "Architect" shall be before my name.

reading and getting lost

I'm one of a bookworm. I love to read and get lost with different characters.

Mitch Albom's books are my favorite of all. It speaks right to my heart. I barely read love novels, I'd rather read and spend time with life inspiring books that could motivate me to do better in life. If I'm feeling down I'd pick a book and get lost for a while or if I just wanna pass the time I'll put my earphones on and grab a nice piece to read on.

Books are the glass of council to dress ourselves by.

wind in my hair

wind in my hair,
i was there,
i remember it all too well

One of my favorite shots.. Taken by my friend back in our college days. She's one of a great aspiring photographer, coz she made me look like a real model. We used to have photo shoots back in college when we have spare time after our mid-term exams or finals. I am my own stylist and since I don't know how to put make-up on my friend is doing it for me. But now, I'm learning a bit about make-ups or such.

simple as a glass of chocolate

I'm Cristina, a proud princess of God, 22, creative by nature and unique in thought.

An architecture graduate and an aspiring designer in fashion.

Recently working in the field of curtain wall with Permasteelisa Philippines Inc.

And by January 2014, I'll be taking my architecture licensure examination.

Funny, fashionista, fun to be with, passionate, a bit melodramatic and crazy in some ways.

Those were just some of the words my family and my friends use to describe me. For some people, they say I'm a snob and "maarte"… (Well, I don't know them and I don't have the syndrome of "feeling close")

But if I'm going to describe myself, I'll break it down like this. . .

Simple as a glass of chocolate.

That phrase above simply defines me in a way.

I'm an average person just like everyone else. I dream a lot of things and believing to make them come true in God's time. I like sunsets, white roses, star gazing, vintage, lace tops, dresses and pink, brown, white are my favorite colors.

I want to be a fashion designer when I was a kid but I guess everything changes, coz I pursued architecture. But if time permits, I'll pursue my first love.

I'm a dreamer, I dream about big things to happen my life, like having my own house, my own clothing line and a simple settled life someday. A life with no drama but more with happy and contentment in things.

I'm a big fan of weddings, that's why I wanna be a wedding organizer one day . . . (another career I wanna chase) . . I love weddings, though I don't see myself married in the future coz I'm still unsure. I love happy endings though, fairytales, cheesy love stories and all.

I cry a lot about certain situations like seeing street children begging for money. My heart breaks when I see old people still working just to make a living. I wanna make a difference about it someday. I wanna have my own charity helping abandoned kids, Lolos and Lolas. I didn't have the chance to take care of my grandma for she passed away too soon so I wanna take care of others coz I know how it feels to be rejected.

I'm a person of determination and great passion. I won't stop 'till I make my goals accomplished. I believe I'm here in this world to make a difference and touch people's lives. I believe God has a mission for me.

Oh… another facts about me.

I love chocolates, cherry blossoms though I have seen them only in photos.  I like dress ups, I eat a lot, to write down my feelings in a diary or on a piece of paper. I like road trips; I wanna travel the world someday. I like hearts, a certified bookworm and I love to eat pocky.

I appreciate simple things like bicycle rides (my hobby), a walk in the park, simple conversations, spending time in cafes while reading my favorite books and listening to Kindie and christian music.

I'm a fan of Kpop, I watch a lot of korean movies and dramas but I love action and horror movies too. I just love going to the movie house with my friends when we unwind in the certain time of month.

I love my quiet time with my Dad, our Lord God. I love nature a lot; I grew up surrounded with big hills, trees and some of God's works of art.

Yes, as sweet as a chocolate is my personality. . . Most people realize me that way. . .

An outgoing person and full of positivity. . I guess they're right..

God gave me a new heart and a new me.

Putting my past behind made my life very different.

It's set in a more simple way, to simply love, live and pray.

Life is very beautiful.

It is a great experience and a wonderful gift to have from the Lord. Giving us a chance who we could be and explore His magnificent creations.

SIMPLE as the stars in the sky.

Like a GLASS, I'm vulnerable.

And a personality as sweet as a CHOCOLATE.

And that's me.
