More questions answered

The only reason why I'm doing these surveys is so that it would be easier to get to know me. I don't really know how to write about myself without a few guidelines. *winks* Or maybe, just to lazy to figure out what to write. Anyways, I have loads of free time at night, so since I have nothing more to blog, I crap. When I crap, well... this is the result. Just spamming away.

Life's AWESOME!

Woo hoo. I just fell off my bike today! Just when I finally received my 'P' licence. The same senario happened when I first received my 'L'. I was parking the bike and I scraped the wall. That was on the right side of the bike. The mirror was scratched and well, a bit of the paint came off. Today, I was in church and I saw Ken. I called him and went to park my bike. As I was turning, I suddenly lost control and fell. Oh yeah, I fell on the right side again. This time, the whole mirror (the one with the scratches) broke off. (Is this a coincidence?) Later we found out that it was because my tyre was punctured by something. It was pretty funny. Ken helped by following me in his car to find a place to repair my bike but everywhere was closed. After that, we both left to eat dinner in our own homes like nothing happened. The best was I told my parents and they didn't scold me. So, for that I thank God.

Visit to General Hospital (13 Feb 09)

Well, technically, this is part 2 of the Advent project. You see, we still had lots of presents overflowing the Advent Room so we decided to give some to the children in the hospital. We (Andre, Ken, Wil Sern, Greg and I) sorted out the presents to be handed out. That took about two hours. Soon, we all got very hungry and decided to go to KFC for lunch where Andre ordered a bucket of 15 pieces of chicken for us.

After lunch, we met Ian in church where we split up into two groups (Andre's car- Ken, WS and Greg with the girls' presents and Ian's car- Me and the boys' presents) From there, we headed out to GH to spread some joy to them. The kids there were very ill and had problems. It was very sad to see that but all we could do was just give a present in hopes of them getting better. This post is once again a post that has to be filled with pictures as words can't express the whole event.

Rachel's Sweet Sixteen Party (30-31 Jan 09)

Well, it started off with Kevin coming over to my house at 11.30 in the morning. Rach came to pick us up at around 1.45 and we left to Stella Maris to drop of the million and one things (mainly food) we brought over. After that, we had lunch in some Indian Cuisine restaurant and it was D-E-L-I-C-I-O-U-S!

We went back to just chill for a while while waiting for the guest to arrive. So we were on the bed, messing with my laptop while Kevin nicely snoozed away in the other bed. We decided to blow up some balloons for the party and just by experiment, I held it against the back door and it actually stuck on without anything.

The magical balloons!

Sleeping Kevin, hald dead with body aching like an old granpa!

Anyways, Rach was busy taking pictures of the house while I was busy taking pictures of her taking pictures of the house!

Birthday Girl in action taking the magical balloons!

Posing nicely for the camera!

Soon, the guest pretty much arrived. Sonia and her bro, Sachin and Boris came. (Please forgive me if I forgot anyone). They went out to breathe the fresh sea breeze while two models (Rachel and Kevin) posing on the wall. It was a nice picture, I gotta admit.

The two statues

We went down to the beach and had some fun standing on the rocks and writing in sand. Ok, against my blogging nature, the pictures that are placed are better left unexplained as a picture is worth a thousand words. (with the help of a few captions)

Kevin writing on the sand about who I 'love'

But I erased it in the nick ot time!

Rachel and Sonia (The two banditos)

The three amigos

Another shot of the birthday model, erm, I mean girl.

A rare shot of Boris and Sachin

An even rarer shot of the photographer

And ANOTHER picture of the birthday girl!

Well, after that, we all fought for the bathroom cause we all were very wet. (D-U-H) We had fun on the beach and collected some very unique looking seashells. Then it was DINNER TIME! All the food were superb. Of course, with a birthday, there always will be a birthday cake. This was ummm, Tiramisu and it was HEAVENLY!

The yummy cake

Rachel and her dad (on duty for lighting the candles)

Cut the birthday cake, ATTACK!

We had fireworks after that and it was soon time for everyone to leave. Awww, then the five of us (Rach, her mom, her dad, Kevin and me) stayed there and while Kevin the grandfather slept, Rach and me played Rock Legends. (actually, it was me playing and her getting addicted.) It was pretty cool as she reached level 12 in about one hour or so. Not bad eh? Well, finally, we decided to turn in fot the night!

The next morning, Rach's dad woke us up and they left for the beach again while I stood on the sidelines as I didn't have anymore spare clothes. So, we collected more seashells and soon after that, we left for home as I had a gathering to prepare for. Overall, the two days spent with my dear and close friend was a success and we are planning on doing it again! WOO HOO!

Lots of love,
Adele Emily

The meaning of my name

Today, I went to surf the net to find the true meaning of my name. First of all, My name is Adele, and my confirmation name (which was chosen in Form 4) is Emily. So, this is what i found...

Adele

• Origin : Germany
• Alternate Origin : French
• Meaning : Noble, Kind, Good Humour (Cool huh?)

Adele (as a Saint's name)

• Feast Day : 24 Dec (6 days after my birthday!)
• Meaning : Noble
• Saint and Patronage : Saint Adele’s first vocation was as a wife and mother. She served God by taking care of her family, praying, and doing works of mercy. When her husband died, she became a nun and founded a convent. As its first abbess, she ruled with great compassion and holiness.

Emily (normal name)

• Origin : Latin-America
• Alternate Origin : French German
• Meaning : Admiring, Industrious
  
• Famous bearer : French writer Emile Zola, Emily Dickenson

Emily (as a Saint's name)

• Feast Day : 24 Dec (6 days after my birthday!)
• Meaning : Excelling
• Saint and Patronage : Saint Gregory the Great had three aunts who led prayerful religious lives in their father's house, Tarsilla, Saint Emiliana, and Gordiana. They encouraged each another to growth in holiness.

Conclusion, from what I observe from the saint's name, both their feast days are exactly the same. That by far, is pretty cool!

Valentine's Day

Can someone please tell me what the fuss is about for this? Yeah, it is a day to share your love with that special someone but don't you do that everyday? If you don't, that sounds a bit wrong. Don't get me wrong, I know I sound jealous because I don't have that special someone to share it with but hear me out. Gifts on Valentine's day, you don't really have to wait till that day to give a gift to someone you love. Valentine's day, it feels like it is compulsory to give. I mean, why don't the guy send a rose to his girl just because it is a Monday. That will trully mean more then expecting a bunch of roses for just one day. And girls, I've known some that will cry just cause their partner didn't buy the exact pair of earrings that she wanted. I mean, it is the thought that count.

Valentine's day is about love, maybe just a small reminder that you have someone to celebrate it with. Sure it is nice to be treated, but, you don't have to wait till that day arrives. As long as you have each other, why wait? I know a few people that were looking forward to spending valentine's day with their partner, with all the plans and all but in the end break up before that happens. Then how? You will be left heartbroken and sorry that you didn't get to carry out your plans earlier. (or maybe anger and relieve cause you don't have to spend money)

Okay, I know I sounded a bit harsh before and this is just a rant. Maybe cause just now, they were talking about valentine's day and what, who and how are you going to spend it touched a sore nerve. It would be nice to have someone other than your family to spend that time with. To make you feel special. But life is just. That day will eventually come to all.

Plus, when I was over at Stella Maris for Rachel's birthday (will talk about that soon), a phrase just floated into my head and I wrote it down in the sand.

I was thinking about how I wrote a letter for this guy and I actually sent it to him. And the worst part was I told him I loved him. But he replied "I already love you..." If that happens, it was worth the wait. Of not spending valentine's day this year or the next. As long as I am with the guy I love for the rest of my life. I rather have one very special person in my life than move on from one partner to the next. Cause everytime you are with a new person, you give part of your heart to him. And most of the time, they will misuse it or break your heart. And you will be left with less love to offer the next.

Maybe that is why I cling on. I want to spend my life just with him. And no other. But if God has other plans in store and things don't work out, I wouldn't mind. As long as I have the very good friends I have now, I am really grateful for it. I don't need one person to love me when I have a bunch of friends that already do. Okay, my apologies for just now rants. I was bitter. He is still dear to me. I would do anything for him. Seriously. But, I am not going to be as foolish as to quickly jump into relationships anymore. That experience has given me wisdom. It also brought me closer to God. So thanks. And I wish you all the best with your current girl sincerely from the bottom of my heart.

Lots of love,
Adele Emily
