New Blog
Hi to my followers! If you have been wondering why I haven’t posted here in almost a year, it’s actually because I made a new blog!!! It’s over there in Wordpress. I realized that tumblr is just not for me. I will, however, continue to use it to be updated with my fandoms, but I won’t be posting anymore. Thanks so much! P.S. If you want a link to my new blog, just ask me here. Thanks!!!
Let me get this straight. I have been very silent about the Manny issue recently. I don’t condone his insensitive comments but I admire him for his firm stand regarding same-sex marriage. I myself, am a Christian, but I don’t hate LGBT’s. I’m not homophobic. In fact, one of my favorite artists, Troye Sivan, is gay. BUT, I consider it a sin. Ready to call me bigoted? First, please read this status that my friend from High School posted on FB.
Anyway, thank you so much for posting this Kuya Beans!! This actually makes sense. Call me a bigot but I don’t agree with people calling Christians as “bobo”.
The problem with an idle mind is that when you have it, temptation comes in. Before Christmas break started, I had plans of watching all Kdramas I have always wanted to watch. I made a list and everything and I figured that it’s impossible for me to have no time for my daily devotionals. Come Christmas break, I was too soaked up in my Kdramas that I wasn’t able to make my quiet times consistent. And, if you come to think of it, that should be the time that I should have longer and more consistent devotionals since there’s no school. I guess a solution to battling inner desires of bailing on quiet time is to intentionally seek God. Of course, you can’t do it on your own that’s why you ask God for help. Jesus said, “You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.”
Thankfully, I have started being consistent with my devotionals again. And no, I did not do it on my own.

The Reason why I Cried the other Night
Of all the Kdramas I watched (and are watching) this Christmas break, I became really really really addicted to Reply 1988. I was also addicted to its prequel- Reply 1997, last year, but 1988 is just so nice that I can't help but blog about it. TvN releases 2 episodes of it per week on Fridays and Saturdays. But last week, they didn't air any because they changed the script or something (or maybe they had Christmas break lol). Long story short, I've been waiting for the next episode for 2 weeks already!!! 2 weeks!!! I feel like dying alreaaaady that I really cried. During those 2 weeks, I rewatched the available episodes (16 eps, 1 hour 30 mins each) TWICE! The suspense, maygulaaay I. Just. Can't. It's not your typical Kdrama wherein the scenes are so cliche and all. I can't tell you the plot here. You just have to watch it for yourself. If we're schoolmates, I can give you the copies of the episodes. I promise it's worth it! And also, I just looooove Kdramas with love trianges. HAHAHA.
@inrnsanity I saw this on fb and it made me think of you.
NO JOKE I just also saw this on fb, saved it, and was going to post it.
Papa: *notices that I've been watching Kdramas everyday* You're just watching nonsense. You aren't gaining anything from that except... weight. Sam: Awtsuuuu!
My dad can slay.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MAMA! Thanks for being the best mother I could ever have! I'm sorry for being a bad daughter sometimes. Labyuuu!!
New Year.
The extended family is rarely complete that's why we always cherish times like these. No matter what the occasion is, it is always made complete when I have my family and relatives with me.
This has got to be one of the best Christmases ever! We had lunch and bonding with my relatives whom I don't get to see a lot nowayears (HAHA) ever since my sisters and I and my cousin went to Pisay (w/c is in another island) to study. Now me, my other sister, and my cousin study in UPM and UPD so basically, our family is rarely complete. I missed them so much! We also went to Miravilla Resort and haayy I really missed swimming! Now I can do a front flip.
I'm sorry if I don't make any sense right now. I'm so sleepy already. Huhu okay bye!
My Sem’s Almost Over
Thank You, Lord that I have survived this sem! Well, one more exam to go nalang but it's Physics and I love Physics so studying it is like watching my favorite series (most of the time, haha). Anywaaaay. Hi, bloooog! It's been a while since I posted on you! I'd like to dedicate an entire post (next week na siguro) for the details of the sem (the ups and the downs and the chuchu eklavu) but I'm a bit sleepy already since I slept at 12am then woke up at 5 which means I only had 5 hours of sleep and it's totally not me. As I'm writing this, I actually kind of forgot what I was gonna tell you. Now I'm stopping and trying to remember what I'm gonna say. Ohhhh. Naalala ko na. I've been having this ubo for more than 2 weeks already. I'm writing this so that if ever I have Pneumonia or Tubercolosis then at least I could look back, read this blog and say, "Oh, so that's the day I found out I had *insert illness here*. I'm not anxious or anything because I don't really think I have an illness. I think the main reason why this cough wouldn't go away is that I still eat chocolates even though they are bad for this viral condition (the sipon-ubo complex). Immune system, notice meeee :(
If there's one thing that describes this sem, I would say this sem was challenging (really, really challenging) but this is the best sem so far. Ngayon ko lang nafeel ang ganitong intimacy with our creator. Everyday, I get closer to Him more and more and everyday kinikilig ako sa Kanya. :)))) Right now I'm listening to Scandal of Grace and it's just amazing how He who has everything would choose to be man and experience pain in order to save us. Hindi ba nakakakilig? (If you don't understand what I'm talking about, PM me kasi promise, you're missing out on a lot of stuff so I'll explain it to you). And yes, when I say this is the best sem ever, I'm telling the truth. This is coming from someone who just had her first ever bagsak score in an exam sa UP. Yeap, I failed my first exam in Chem Lab. I love Chem, but Chem 27 is not Chem. It's Stat. And I'm not good at Stat. Kasalanan ko rin yun kasi I didn't study for it and I was always absent during lectures. But that's not the point. The point is that God was able to turn things around for me. Despite all the bad things that happened this sem (mostly sleepless nights), there still are a lot of reasons to smile, laugh, sing, eat, and LIVE. But, the greatest reason is to glorify Him. If I were to go back in time, I'd rather experience failing again than be that Sam before who thought she can do everything by herself. Failing that exam made me realize how important it is to surrender everything to my "The One". Alam kong ang gulo ko mag-explain pero basta.
BTW, I've been playing the piano again. It's really therapeutic for me. I'm learning Moonriver now!! HAHAHA. I just remembered something. I broke my guitar. Like, nasa room lang kasi siya tapos natutumba almost everyday kasi malikot ako until its neck just broke. I'm sorryyyyyyyy.
P.S. Okay, ang gulo kong kausap noh? If may gagawa ng outline for this blogpost, wala ata silang mahahanap na main idea kasi ang gulo. Hahaha.
Be still and know that I am God.
It may be an overused verse but hey, be still. He is God. He can do anything. Surrender your life to Him and He will direct you to the path He has set out for you.
UP Manila Museum of a History of Ideas.
1. Fertility tree, UP Los Banos. The tree got its name because of the numerous used condoms that can be found lying around it every night. There was also a speaker who said that the use of condoms can solve the country's HIV problem. I don't really agree with her. There is a problem with the society's values today. I think we should check our hearts first. Sex outside of marriage is a sin.
2. Old toilet seat. I'm not really good at interpreting art, but this display of a toilet seat does look a bit sophisticated.
3. My face as I smile to show you the stamp that was supposed to be put on my hand. I requested the guard to stamp it on my face. Hahaha.
4. A tree in the middle of busy Manila- a symbol of hope and that inspite of all the chaos around us, we should never give up.
5. A stretcher used in PGH in the early 1900's. Isn't it amazing how they have kept this thing after so many many years?! Looking at it just feels like going back to the past!!!
6. The qoute is just.. :))
Bloodtyping. I was the last one to have my finger pricked.
Finally, after minutes of running away from my classmate, they succesfully administered localized torture on my index finger using a lancet. It was such a memorable lab session. (Tama! A yung bloodtype ko.)
I will never pursue you the making way the courting the getting to know And the trying to be close to you part. Because it’s not my part. I’ll stick to the part that I know - and that is to keep my heart pure. So pure That when love finally finds me I’ll know that what I have is divine. My part is to trust God, to fix my eyes on Him, to acknowledge His sovereignty in all my life’s areas I don’t want human hands Not mine. Not yours. I want the only Hands that matter – His. That as I wait, He’ll be my only delight my singular motive, my one true purpose; for His will and His person to become my life's utmost concern. I’ll never pursue you or anyone else. I’ll pursue the One who loves me best, knows me best, and who’s the only authority to deem it best if ever you are the one I should have in my life… Or not. Until then, I may find myself liking you too much, but I will never pursue you.
I feel so blessed today!
-My score in the Bio lab nondep exam was okay (if you compare it to the number of hours I studied for it). I can really say that God really worked on me while I was taking that exam. "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." -We hade a life group meeting today. Yaay! I hope I'll become more active in church this year! Kaya 'to! Woo! -I survived the Bio lec and lab depexes today + 6 hours sleep so booooyaaaa! -I didn't die when I slipped and almost fell from the stairs in Rob (the one near Brooklyn's Pizza). Please Lord, don't get me yet. I still want to share your word to more people. -Learned the true value of friendship :)
I know bad days will still come but His grace never changes. I'm ready, world!
What it Means to Receive Him
Without noticing it, a month has already gone by since classes started. And of course, all of the schoolwork come crashing on you and sometimes you wouldn't know what to do first, where to start, and from whom would you draw inspiration from. In stress and conflict, we tend to rely to ourselves thinking that if we just do our best then everything will be okay. We think that simply our efforts are enough to handle our problems, that we can move our own mountains, cross our own rivers, and live on our own islands. When we are heavily loaded with different problems and burdens, most of the time, we run to other people- our friends, family. And when this may not be necessarily bad, we forget that we have a perfect being to run to. Oftentimes we fail to realize that it really wouldn't get any better if we depend on other people (and other things like drugs, etc.) for our happiness. Why? Because these people are not permanent.
Someone once asked me, "Bakit parang palagi kang walang problema?" What I can say is that I do have big problems but you know what? My God, rather, our God, is bigger than our problems. If He can overcome death, then He surely can help you overcome any problem you have if He wills it. Sure, I may have a lot of downs (especially because of acads lately) but I always have first, a loving Father to run to and second, family and friends who are given by Him to help me cope with life.
Truth is, we are imperfect human beings that need a savior. Receiving him in our lives doesn't mean that we won't have problems anymore or that every thing will be blue skies from here on. Receiving him means that in spite of trials and battles, we can still declare ourselves victorious for He has won death and paid for it all.
This is Sam-sam cheering you up!
P.S. It's possible to live a life of no worries.
