Since I just turned 23 on the 1st of day of October this year, I'm sharing you guys 23 out of many things about me. Here they are...

1. My real name is Czarinna as in "C-ZA-RI-NA". Getting comfortable being called as "Cha" but nickname is "Yang-yang".

3. Fried Chicken is irresistibly my favorite food at all times!

4. My talent in Singing is still hidden which is why it's not yet fully developed! hahaha

10. I've had Asthma and Ulcer when I was still in elementary and during my final year in college, I found out I'm anemic.

11. I'm 101% scatterbrained. I tend to forget things I am inclined to do or bring MOST of the time.

12. My natural hair is Black and straight but I thought that getting my hair blond and curled looks better.,

13. Speaking of movies, I am more interested of thriller and horror!

14. I used to be extrovert back in my younger years. Now, I can last a day or two staying at home with my Witheson, my phone and Mr.ku, my laptop connected to internet

23. And just as the day I turned into this age, I truly realized that the only people you should really have to trust, value most and invest most of your time and love are you family. :)

Till then. I hope this is the start of getting you to know me more!

Kisses,

Birthday

Just minutes more to go, my first 21 years on earth will be another part of my history. I can’t believe it!! It feels like it was just yesterday (Okay. Sound so cliché. haha) when I had my balloons given to me by my forever friends and few hours from now I’m turning 22 already! Gaad! Time flies really fast whether you’re having fun or not. Btw, I don’t know what exactly I should feel. The fact that I’m becoming a year older again makes me feel pressured. Pressured in a way that I should have my own kind of living by now yet I am still here at my comfort zone. It’s not what I exactly hoped for. I told myself before that at this age I should be independent already but it seems like things are different from what I used to think. But anyway, to cheer me up, I still feel so happy and blessed for all the things I have now. They may not be part of the plan, I am definitely sure they are what I need and they are more than those what I wished to have! J

At the age of 21, I became fully aware about my life. This is where I finally started to think about my future. Compared before when I was still a student, it was totally different. I am such a happy-go-lucky one then. I didn’t think what is going to happen after doing something horrible or let’s say, deciding something base on my current emotion. Well, it’s my past and I learned a lot of things from it which makes me who I am now. I think, whoever this person I am at the moment, I am certain she is not the person she used to be back then. I’m wiser now and a lot better! J

Before I welcome another year in my life, I would like to call to mind some of my dreams that came true…

Sleepover with my favorite people on earth- Highschool Barkada!!
Visited Singapore.
Featured to an online shop.
Passed the board examination for Nutritionist Dietitian.

Well, passing the licensure exam has been out in my bucket list since I decided not to take the exam last year but it seems that God has it in store for me and I guess it is the reason why I did not get a chance to work in Sg. Oh well, I thank God for giving me this wonderful gift after all!!! Now I learned that no matter how much you try for something just to have it if it’s not yet time for you to have it, and then go on! Just always have faith in God. Always trust him. In times of trouble, that means God is still working! J

Now, I will welcome my 22^nd birthday with full of positivity and believe that soon I will have the things I’ve hoped for..

Kisses,

Czarinna

Tattoo

4:20 AM

The word tattoo is derived from the Polynesian word ‘ta’ which means striking something
and the Tahitian word ‘tatau’ which means ‘to mark something’.

I know everyone is familiar with the word and what it means. This thing has been with us 5000 years ago and until now, a lot of people still want to have their own. The fact that everybody is getting more creative at this instant; it’s no wonder why tattoo lives this long.

Tattoo is very intriguing. It has a lot of meanings. Some of these are name of someone who is special to them, a number, sign or even words that they want the world to know about them and for some, its curiosity that prompts them to do so. Whatever could be the reason, I am convinced that tattoo is really one of the finest things that humans have ever invented!!!

So, let’s go to my point why I am talking about tattoos! Haha! The other day, I together with my friends went to a place where you can have your own hena. Hena is another alternative for tattoo. It is a tattoo-like-thing. HAHA. They only differ on how long they can last. Henna last only for a week or two but tattoo, it will stay as long as we want it. okay, fast forward. After seeing their different design, my friends and I decided to give it a try. So tomorrow will be the day! And I am so excited! We already chose a design. Actually, it was me who chose. Haha. And it would be a Dream Catcher! Gaad! The first time I saw it, I already said it’s my final pick. But then, we are not yet decided which part of our body we are going to have it on. I will give you an idea what Dream Catcher looks like. Here!

Don’t you just love the color and the design? If ever I want to have a tattoo in future, it will still be my pick!!!

Anyway, I got my first Hena during my 18^th birthday and I felt sort of awkwardness having this thing before because of some family reasons. Haha.

My First!

Here, I would like to share my favorite cover of The One that Got Away- which is my favorite song at the moment. This is also my LSS now. I love the meaning of the song! That’s it!

Heat of Summer Sunshine.

11:18 PM

Everyone's changing, I stay the same

I'm... a solo cello outside a chor-us I've got a secret, It's time for me to tell that you've been keeping me warm

Just sweet beginnings and bitter endings
In coffee city, we borrowed heaven
Don't give it back, I've never felt so wanted
Are you taking me home?

You tell me you have to go

In the heat of summer sunshine

I miss you like nobody else

In the heat of summer sunshine

I kiss you, and nobody needs to know

Now that you've left me, there's no returning

I keep comparing, you're always winning

I try to be strong but you'll never be more wanted

Will you make me at home?

Don't tell me you have to go...

Hello Everyone! Happy Holy Week! How’s your vacation so far? Mine, well nothing is new. Still waiting for something to come in my way. Anyway, lately, been so busy applying for job online and now I’m anticipating for a call. I have so many plans at the moment and one is already down. I mean, that plan is left undone again. Urg. I really don’t know what to do first. I’m dying to have a work because it seems like I’ve been left by time. I think I’m the only person that is not acquiring change. It’s so heart breaking to see that most of my college mates are already working while me, hay. Tambay pa din, That’s why I’m trying so hard to pass my application anywhere that has a vacancy for a person Like me!!!! Hay. However, I’m still positive that sooner or later, I’ll get a job that really suites to my interest. In time, it’ll arrive!

So yeah! Sorry for being mellow dramatic. I just can’t contain this feeling no more. I hope you understand. By the way, enjoy your summer guys! Make the most out of it inspite of the scorching heat of the sun! Have you not notice it? The climate is getting hotter and hotter and I wanna get myself in the refrigerator! LMAO! Till then! Happy Holy week again! J

Here’s a perfect song for the season!!!!

Color Blocking

Anything I’m not

8:27 PM

I will never be, I will never be tall. no.

and I will never be, never ever be sure of it all.

But oh, why is the world so cruel to me?

When all, all I ever wanna be is anything I’m not.

Give me a break, a little escape.

I am so tired of being me.

I wanna be free. I wanna be new and different.

Anything I’m not.

I will never be, I will be you. No.

I will always be, I always be me I know,

but oh, even though I’m happy of being me,

I wanna get away from all this harsh reality.

-Lenka

Lately, I’m so hooked with Lenka’s songs esp with this song. It’s just that I can relate to the lyrics. It feels like this song speaks what my heart wanted to say to the world. Haha. I wanna be anything I’m not doesn't mean I want to be someone else, what I’m trying to say is that I want to be someone I’m not used to be. Really. I want to be anew. I want my life be transformed into something different like for instance, before, I’m the type of person who lives her life dependent. I depend to all the people around me especially everytime I got myself in difficult situations. This time, I want to stand on my own. Whenever there’s a problem whether it’s big or small, I want to get myself out of it without anyone around me. I desperately wanted to be matured in a way that I can provide all my needs and wants from my own money. I want to be Miss independent. Apart from myself, I want to have a change of environment too. I believe that in order for you to have a change, you also have to get away from the people you are used to be with, things you used to do and place you used to live. Agree? In that way, change of nature will help you not only to have a transformation but it will also make you learn new things. J BUT, not because you are in a situation where everything is new, you also have to change your friends and family. NO. You can’t change them but possibly, you can have more friends and family! It’s happier, isn’t it? So yeah! This is what I’m trying to do at the moment, doing transformation at a time and making a difference bit by bit until I change myself into anything I’m not. J

How ‘bout you? Do you feel the same thing too? J Let’s do it. J

At the moment.

10:36 PM

To keep you on tract to my life, I’ll share to you my obsessions at the moment. J There are a lot of things that delight me. Since I’m here in Singapore, I saw many things to dwell on aside of looking for a job and attending to an interview. Here, so many places to visit, foods to taste, and new friends to meet but there are really things that I can’t get enough and I want to do again and again. And these are:

First, watching Gossip Girl Episodes!! HAHA! I know I’m so late to know about Blair Warldorf and Serena Van der Woodsen but better late than never. Just started watching Season 2. Haha. 4 more seasons to go. LOL!

Second, aside of watching GG I also dwell on Downloading and Watching other novies. I’d love to say that internet connection here in SG is so fast unlike to our place before somewhere in PH it takes days before the movie being fully downloaded. Hahaha. Here, it takes only minutes, one or two hours to finish downloading. Amazeballs!! Haha. 3 of my favorites are Life of Pi, Les Miserables, and Pitch Perfect. The last 2 movies I mentioned are PERFECT ENOUGH to make me pity on myself, to make realize I don’t have the good voice. HAHAHA. But it’s okay, atleast I have the gift of confidence ( Anne Curtis lang ang peg) haha. Yeah. I don’t have the voice but I love the fact that people around me asking me to sing even in the 1^st place they already know I’m not a singer like Anne do. Awww. Haha. I love Anne!!!

Third, reading books. I’m currently reading Joel Osteen’s Your Best Life now. And this book is nice! You get yourself inspired and learning Positive things . You better read it!

Fourth, when I’m not at home. Meaning, I’m outside. Haha. Kidding aside. When I’m not at home, aside of doing walk in interviews and job hunting, I’m wandering. you will see me somewhere in Fairprice buying groceries or not, in places where tourists are strolling,haha and for better place, I’m in Mercy house where I found a way closer to our God and that is the other thing I’m doing;

Attending Worship. Here in Singapore, I do not only focus to the things like watching movies or strolling around but during Friday-most exciting day for me at the moment, I go to the house of my new ate, which is called Mercy House- a place where everything seems so Perfect because there, we worship God, we sing Praises and speaking of tomorrow, it will be the day I will sing a worship song for my new brothers and sisters in Christ. I love it! ahaha. Okay lang kahit mapiyok ako, si God na bahala. J

Chinese New Year. Wandering to Orchard.

So that’s it! You might wonder why I didn’t include shopping. Oh well, that is because there are a lot of shops here that you know, I can’t decide wether which Mall I’m going to. Hahaha. Reason. But currently, I love window shopping-ing to Daiso and Bugis street. I go crazy in this places! Hahaha.

Note: This is not the entry of what happened to me in Singapore. Keep in touch!! :)

Dim Dream

10:53 PM

Today, I visit my old blog- slickchic-czarinna.blogspot.com. My first ever Personal blog back in 2009-2010.

i didn't expect that this blog is still open. i can still read all the post I've had before. While i was reading, my attention was captured of what i wrote to my "About me" portion where i said that i am frustrated fashion designer...-This thing really caught my attention. i don't know why i put that. Maybe because that time, i'm so greedy to study fashion design but time didn't permit me to for the reason that there's no available course nor Fashion school in our place. You have to fly to Manila to study for it but then, my parents won't let me for so many reasons. So that's the start of a dim dream. :( Honestly, ngayon ko lang to ipa-publicize what i really feel about the course i took. BS Nutrition and Dietetics, this course took me so long to love it. REALLY. i don't want this course before (note the word before. :) but as time passed by, i learn to love it but not to the extent i love it as much as the course i want to take up. This course has been so tough for me since the day i entered to it. imagine that, you're doing/studying the thing you don't love. Gaaah! So don't blame me if i got failed to our one major subject. Now, you might wondering how i came up with that course, well i wanted to keep it secret. it's a personal thing but let me give you one reaon, for practical purpose.

So yeah, let's talk about Fashion design, the one i want, i love to take in. i don't have so many reasons before why i would like to take that course. The only thing i know is that i'll get exposed to different kinds of fabulous clothes and PEOPLE. And now that my life witnessed many things related to fashion, i got more reasons to study fashion design. i guess, it's not yet too late to pursue this dream though. i'm still young. :) But before going to Fashion school, i have to earn lots of bucks first. i don't want to depend my life's needs to my parents anymore. it's time for me to pay back. But then, Yeah! i'll study fashion design soon (Now i'm thinking when SOON is.) HAHAHA. :)

Here are some Words of Wisdom i keep in mind everytime. :)
