SUMMER TO REMEMBER

After graduation I asked my parents if I could have a loooong summer vacation because I just wanted to grab some rest after stressing myself in school lol Actually I just want to sleep all day, go out with family and friends, and watch movies with them and of course, eat my favorite food that my parents prepare during mealtimes haha Well, I got the response that I wanted! They said YES! Thank God for my ever-supportive parents!!!

..But unfortunately, today is the last day of vacation haha Time ran so fast that I think everything happened just yesterday. Here’s a glimpse of my mega-unforgettable summer:

Indeed, a summer vacation that I’ll treasure for the rest of my life. Whoohoo Thank you Lord for bringing to places that I’ve never been, for the people I met during my vacay, for the ones that spent it with me, for all the adventure and fun-times, and most especially for the memories that I’ll never forget.

Now, I am definitely ready to face the real world. Bring it on!

My Christmas Calendar '13

It's one of the most awaited and beautiful time of the year, it"s Christmas! Whooohoo Isn't it exciting? I always get excited during Christmas season because I get to be reunited with family, friends and loved ones that I seldom see. Also, I get to receive gifts.         Well, who doesn't want gifts and surprises?

This year I had so much fun with all the Christmas parties that I attended, like really fun!!! Haha Of course, I would be glad to share to all of you, my valued readers about my Christmas'13 Celebration :)
 

Our theme for this year is Red. So, I decided to put a lot of red accents around the tree like giant red poinsettias, red ribbons, red lights, and of course a giant red star as the topper. Are you excited to see the finish product?

Taddahhhh! Here it is :)

As I mentioned earlier here's some of the events that I attended during the season.

Last December 12 our class celebrated Christmas with an exchange gift and of course, with delicious food. This was our last Christmas Party since we will all be graduating on March 2014. It's a bit sad since we all are close to each other and our bond is like a family already. I got a dream catcher as a gift! Special thanks to Ms. Lyka Abella :)

Here's another set of photos taken during our BFF's Christmas Party. This was the second party that I attended for this season and this was the emotional one haha Well, all of us got misty eyed while receiving gifts from each other and it's because all of us exerted a lot efforts on the gifts that we gave. Yes! we call this a "Dramatic Christmas Party" lol  

Picture 1 was taken during our HLM Grand Regal Anniversary/Christmas Party! We had fun and games with the children we also served food to all our guest and a Word of God shared by Pstr, Ranty Camponion. Of course, The celebration wouldn't be complete without an exchange gift but we had it in a completely differently way, special thanks to Tita Faith Camponion for her creativity.

Then, Picture 2 was the Year-ender special/Christmas Party  of our LG-Tribe. It was fun because we had a delicious meal and of course we had quality time together. 

                         And of course, my last and final Christmas Party for this year was spent with my family. We had our countdown and noche buena at my Granny's house. We had games, food, dancing, singing, and a lot of gifts. Also, to celebrate the real essence of Christmas we offered a Thanksgiving Prayer dedicated to a Child born in a manger, Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

"But heaven only knows packages and bows can never heal a hurting human soul. So here's my lifelong wish, my grown up Christmas list. Not for myself but for a world in need."

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

2012

The scariest year in the entire universe. It was predicted by the Mayans to be the end of the world December 21, 2012 to be exact. But as expected by many it was a hoax. For me, this year has been really amazing and a memorable one! Why? Well, Allow me to rundown the TOP 3 events and experiences that made my year AWESOME!

TOP 3. Number 3 on my list was the BANTAYAN ESCAPED that I had with my family. Every year our family decides to go out of town just to unwind and relax and of course to spend time and bond together. This summer of 2012 our family went to Bantayan Island in Cebu. It was a really fun experience because I get to spend more time with my parents and open up to them the problems im faced with. The last but definitely not the least. (For more photos: http://kevinjuliuslopez.blogspot.com/2012/05/gods-chosen-leader.html)

TOP 2. One of my biggest accomplishments for this year was my leadership training school Graduation. God was really with from the beginning until the end of my Leadership school journey, He enabled me in doing things I never thought I could. All for His Glory! I received the highest recognition in our batch which was the Best Preacher Award. Thank you Lord!

Top 1. The BEST experience that I had this 2012 was the *tandadandan (drum roll)* Ayala young leaders congress-Panel Interview. It was the greatest, most wonderful, and indescribable experience! The fact that I was chosen as 1 of the top 175 from the 8++ student applicants was a huge achievement already, it was more than enough. Team Bacolod was composed with 7 students from USLS-Bacolod, 2 from WNU, and 1 from UNO-R Bacolod. From Bacolod we all flew to Manila for an interview with Ayala's Top Executives. It was a privilege on my part to be able to have an interview with them and an honor as well to have a picture  with Don. Jaime Augusto Zobel de Ayala. An adventure that I will never ever forget for the rest of my life.

I thank the Lord for all the things He has given me this 2012! He has made my dreams come true, He answered all my prayers. I must admit that I've been through hardships as well, those up and down moments. But all through out God never let me go! He was with me though thick and thin and even though I was unfaithful to Him and to a point that I even questioned His Lordship. I thank Him for my very supportive family, my loving friends both old and new ones, and to everyone that made my year epic.

Few hours Left and we'll bid farewell to 2012! A new year is about to begin. 2013 will be a fresh start and a renewal year for all of us. Another year to make things right! Wishing you all a Prosperous New Year!

Back to School

            After an adventurous summer vacation here comes school. I am already entering my junior year taking up Bachelor of Science in Business administration major in Marketing management at West Negros University. Preparing for school is easy but the real question is am I really ready? Well, i'm excited to see my college friends and to meet new ones as the school opens. And i'm also looking forward of learning new lessons and things that I probably might use for the future. Im excited for school because few years from now ill be standing on stage facing the crowd while receiving my diploma. My goal as a student is to do my best out of it and to make parents and the people that supports me happy and proud of my achievements. As to what my future will be, ill leave it all to God for I know He has better plans for me. For the mean time "I will do my best and let God do the rest."

Yes! Im finally ready.. Here's my complete school uniform for the school year 2012-2013

and here's my school bag and the stuffs in it :)

Happy Mothers Day!

It’s time to treat the women of our lives, our Mothers. In the Philippines they are called as “Ilaw ng Tahanan“ Ilaw means light while tahanan means home. Often times they are entrusted to do the daily chores and the ones that are responsible for paying bills, but they are more than that they are considered to be bring forth comfort and unity inside the family.

A mom is God’s love in action. She looks with heart and feels with her eyes. A mom is the bank where her children deposit all their worries and hurts. A mom is the cement that her family together and her love lasts a lifetime.

Last May 11, 2012 our family had a Mother’s Day celebration at Mely’s Garden, Lacson Street, Bacolod City.  Appetizing food and sweet deserts were served in front of us, it was indeed a day of pure joy and love as my mother quoted. A successful day that made mom happy J

My mom is the best chef in town she’s great in everything she does in the kitchen and needless to say she cooks everything perfectly. As a way for me to show my gratitude to my mom, I made her a sweet treat and it’s her favorite Chocolate Crinkles. I’ve tried my very best to satisfy my mother’s stomach and I believe I did with the great smile on her face she showed me.

Happy Mother’s Day Mama! I love you :)))
