March 27, 2010. E-games R2D4 event and Bandmaster launching at SM North Edsa.

Well, life is really full of surprises. And NEVER did I know that I would gain a friend on that said event. :> Raph was actually talking to someone when I realized that I had met him before. Well, being friendly-- I quickly called him and we talked about random stuffs.

I actually didn't expect that we would become friends I mean he's a Band Master Correspondent I thought he's the serious-type?. He's from the O2Jam community and I'm just a normal Audista. Plus, the age-- I really thought that he doesn't want to be bugged by uhh, KIDS? LOL. More of, after the casual talk then back to normal lives Haha! So after the event, and as the months passed by we still talked to each other and if I got PROBLEMS then he would there to listen and I really appreciate that 'cos most of the time, I try my best not to show emotions to my friends for there will be endless questions. Well, unlike him he would simply let me talk & he listens. He'll walk beside you, RAIN OR SHINE.

Maybe there are also many factors why we became close friends. He's crazy at times and would tell jokes e, I laugh easily right? Aside from that I also found many interesting stuffs 'bout him like, he isn't good in Taglog. Would you believe, HE ONLY LEARNED THE MEANING OF TAKURI LAST YEAR?! It's KETTLE in English Raph, KETTLE! He also doesn't eat BALOT and it's really freaky haha! Or maybe I ain't used to 'cos eating Balot is already in my system lol. He is also good-looking, eww loljk., better term-- HE LOOKS LIKE A HUMAN. Haha! And the weirdest part of all? I can't believe that for a guy, HE IS HYGENIC. He uses, sanitizer before he eats something *faints, I have never done that in my 14 years of existence. SRSLY. Now that's what I call UNIQUE. The best part about him is he doesn't know how to pretend. Sort of, what you see is what you get-- IF HE IS ACTING CRAZY AND GOOFED UP THEN HE REALLY IS LIKE THAT. No pretensions, THAT'S HIM. :) And oh, he also loves making other persons happy. :>

Well? What else? I guess I've said too much. :> Hey twin *yes, we call each other twin. I SELDOM do this. Your so good at making requests 'no? FUDGE haha! You are blessed by the Above, do not CHANGE. You've achieved so much already but DO KEEP YOUR FEET ON THE GROUND. And no matter what happens, well I know you know this already but just to remind you-- I'll always be here. K? >:D< Thanks for always being there ♥

P.S I'LL MAKE YOU EAT BALOT, SOMEDAY. AND OH, SORRY FOR THE CRAPPY PICTURE. >:3 YOU LOOK SILLY THERE. LOL.

If you just realized what I just realized.

"And if I fall, I never fail. I just get up and try again" -- Win by Brian Mcknight



January 2010 I told myself that if I lose the competition for Ms. SNNS 2010 I will not join beauty pageants anymore. I don't want to feel nervous, it's too much to handle and besides, I don't want to be pressured. I LOST but, I was very happy 'cos I could revert back to my normal life. Little did I know, God was actually preparing me for something BIG. I was busy playing Audition on the 19th of July, that night there was a B.E.C mass held in our house and most of B.E.C 19's officer were here and they were all teasing me- they want me to represent B.E.C 19 for the yearly beauty pageant Ms. Shrine of Our Lady of Mercy inline with the 154th shrine fiesta. I would just laugh and say whatever your decision is, it would be okay. In the end, they told me that I would really be the one. I felt happy at first but, at the back of my mind I was having doubts. I wasn't sure of myself anymore, I just lost last January what if it happened again? But I decided to give in. My decision was already final. I would do this not for myself but for God.

By July we were already practicing, most of my Sundays were occupied. I became very busy to the point that I would get very exhausted. But I can see that everyone expected something from me, THEY BELIEVED THAT I CAN DO IT. And so, I tried my best to enjoy. As the days past by I was becoming nervous again. I started pondering, "What if I can't....". Everyone at home told me not to worry that much because they know that I can handle it very well. The Pre-pageant happened last September 17. We, the seven candidates presented an intermission number and it was also the Talent Nite. I did Tambourine Dancing. I am a member of El Shaddai's Dancing Ministry, I know that all of the things that I did that night-- I offered it all to Him. :) By the end of the night, I got the Best in Talent as well as Ms. Friendship



5 days later, September 22-- CORONATION NITE. I became uneasy, my papa called he told me that "You will be crowned Ms. SOLM this night, I requested that from Mama Mary. I want to cry because I miss him very much but decided not to because the make-up will scatter lol. It was the night we've all been waiting for, aside from the coronation the question and answer portion as well as evening gown competition will also be held that night. My gown was made by ate Jeanie Balingit. Good thing I did not get confused and I remembered everything to be done on stage. After the evening gown competition, the most crucial part of the pageant, QUESTION AND ANSWER. We were asked to pick numbers, when it was my turn I picked out Number 2 and it was Councilor Alfred Vargas who asked me this question "Paano mo maipapakita ang pagmamahal mo kay Inang Maria?" My heart pound, I did not know if I can answer but the moment he finished I answered "Magandang gabi po sainyong lahat *smiles*. Paano ko nga ba maipapakita ang pagmamahal ko kay Inang Maria? Simple lamang po. Ang pagsunod sa sampung utos ng Panginoon, ang pagsisimba tuwing Linggo at ang pagiging mabuting ehemplo sa kabataan. Yun lamang po at maraming salamat. That moment I finished everybody shouted and clapped, my fears where eliminated and I thanked Him for guiding me. More intermission numbers were given, my schoolmates also gave one great intermission number. We were also serenaded by Fr. Leo.



When it was time to announce the winners, I was very nervous. I got the 2 minor awards, Best in gown and Ms. Friendship. The 2nd runner up and the 1st runner up was already called and yet, I had not been called yet.... Our Ms. Shrine of Our Lady of Mercy 2010 is no other than Candidate no. 4 Altamira Chantrelle M. Reyes
from B.E.C 19! I was actually shocked and I cried that time, maybe because of happiness? Everybody's actually asking me why did I cry? Well, after the problems that I faced, the times I have lost, when others tried to pull me down GOD STILL KEPT ME AT THE TOP. He prepared me for this. And he gave me for something worth waiting and fighting for. Something I did not expect. Something for ME. :')



The ending was so beautiful. Everybody was so happy for me, my mama beamed and told me "I told you, you did it! actually, I am very happy because my mama would always be there for me during pageants. She was actually the one helping me dress up. My relatives, cousins, classmates, SYM, friends, teachers, and schoolmates were also very happy because of what I achieved. Finally, I got the CROWN, SCEPTER AND THE TITLE MS. SHRINE OF OUR LADY OF MERCY 2010.





I also heard about other persons who would tell nasty rumors about me. How ironic, most of them are from the church lol. They kept telling everyone that I cheated. NO, what I did is I believed that I can do it. I gave my best shot, I never let a ray of doubt slip in and the best of all? I entrusted EVERYTHING to HIM. Good thing I got a great God a great family and great friends who would always be there for me when others want to PULL ME DOWN. The sad thing is, bohoo to the losers-- IF YOU REALLY ARE SERVING GOD DO IT NOT ONLY IN WORDS BUT ALSO IN ACTIONS HYPOCRITES. YOU CANNOT PULL ME DOWN AND I WILL NEVER QUIT. Stop acting like kids, ACT YOUR AGE. :)








To everyone who supported and believed, thank you very much. :) God really prepared me for this, all the hardships and problems before were hidden blessings. May He touch your lives and bless you the way he touched mine, always remember to offer EVERYTHING to him, He is the best director. Do remember that He wants the best for all of us. :)







P.S May this post inspire all of you not to quit. You fall 7 times, stand up 8 times! And whatever happens, BELIEVE IN YOURSELF.

PP.S Thank you to Ms. Carmina Gonzales for the hair and make-up, and Ms. Jeanie Balingit for the gown. To B.E.C 12, 19, 27, 29, and ElShaddai. To everyone who believed in me. Thank you very much!





-MS. SHRINE OF OUR LADY OF MERCY 2010 ♥

Must SAVE!

As i've said before, I will not be dancing anymore this year right? But ofcourse, I will still be a member of the Sophomore Dancers but I will just be doing the make-up for the girls. YES, you heard it right-- I am entering the make-up industry. I am passionate about others, I want them to feel and look good. :) Anyway, I got a lot of activities and hopefully at the end of the month it will all be checked and will be ZERO already 'cos I need rest and sleep my eyebags are so obvious already. :p

Anyway, I need to save so that I can buy the make-ups (which I will be posting later). I am currently broke as of the moment but rest assured, I will have money by October *yey* Anne Photography will also be having the photoshoot by the 4th week prolly sembreak? So I must have the make-up by that time already. Btw, Anne Photography is the newest Photography line *I as the make-up artist* by my twin, Dorothy Reyes.

Must have's *before October*:

-Cake foundation
-Sponge
-Neutral eyeshadow palette and colorful/loud eyeshadow palette
-Peach, pink and red lipstick
-Liquid and pencil eyeliner and
-Neutral blush

Many thanks to Shiubin Viana for guiding me towards my first step in the make-up industry. She's a graduate of our school and is currently a full-time student, model and make-up artist for Sophiaphotography. More power to you! :**

P.S I hope to have these stuffs by October. *crosses fingers* MUST SAVE!

To those who are far away from me and sadly they cannot watch the said pageant don't worry, I'll be posting pictures here ^0^. Well that's about it, I'll be logging off now got tons of work to do. :) Have a blessed Sunday everyone!

I am SUPER DUPER depressed.
Yesterday, the class rank was announced-- I wasn't in the top 10 *sigh*
My rank is so low, cannot barely understand I tried to do my best? BUT! I believe that everything happens for a reason, God allowed this things to happen so that I may learn. Now, I tried to contemplate yesterday and I decided..... to make SACRIFICES. So what are the things that I decided not to do for the meantime?

Sacrifice #1: Dancing
-Yes oh yes, I will not be dancing for this year. Ofcourse, if your part of the troupe when the contest is already near you allot time for the practice. Eh, there comes a time when there is conflict like quizzes during the week of the contest. Projects to be fulfilled and submitted, somewhat I can say that it is TIME CONSUMING and that I need to let go of it for NOW.

P.S This will only be applicable for school contests, I am and will always be part of the Dancing Ministry of ElShaddai for the Shrine of Our Lady Chapter.

Sacrifice #2: Will lessen the PC time
-TIME CONSUMING 'nuff said. Obviously? Will only use during the weekends.

Sacrifice #3: Will not ask any reward unless I work hard
-I told my dad "NO, YOU ARE NOT GONNA GIVE ME THE CELLPHONE NOR THE CLOTHES AND THE OTHER STUFFS THAT YOU BOUGHT FOR ME UNLESS I GIVE YOU GUYS GOOD GRADES." Actually, my family ain't angry they are very understanding *sniffs, I love them very much* I'm just disappointed because this I want to give them something to be proud of (...aside from the rewards that I achieved during the past years?) I mean, I know they are proud and happy but I always want to make them HAPPY. Well, my parents told me it's okay but ofcourse a part of me still wants to burst out and say "NO I PROMISE TO DO BETTER THIS QUARTER.

I mean, I am still sad yeah? But I always remember what my grandma told me "That's life-- sometime's your up sometime's your down. What do you do when your down? YOU STAND UP, You PROVE something. We'll always be beside you, we'll always be proud of you" *sniff x2 my grandma's so cool* See, I may fall but that doesn't mean that i'm not gonna get up. I'll try to do better this quarter, things happen for a reason right? I know God's planning something BETTER for me. :)
In the end I know IT'S GONNA MAKE SENSE. I can do this!

This is what you call-- HAPPINESS!
