July Highs and Lows


July has always been my favorite month of the year, obviously because it is my birth month. Aside of it being my birth month. July has been effective on reminding me that my life had reached half past a year again. With the smooth transition from the scorching heat of the sun to gentle drizzles, I have been reminded that Christmas is again, yet to come.

Since it is the last day of my favorite month. I decided to start blogging about my life's highs and lows. I am thinking of doing this for the months too so I could back track of how my life has been and so I could be reminded of the beautiful things that has happened to me.

Let's start, shall we?

Welcome back, GreenTee! (July 1) - We (me and my friend, Winwin!) started taking pre orders for our own version of the DLSU Centennial Shirt (Thank you Japy!). Customer responses were very overwhelming. Thanks to everyone who supported us!

Realization (July 3) It was a Sunday when my father and I had a misunderstanding about something that we usually argue about.- attending mass. He constantly feels that I am so lazy when it comes to attending mass, which I also constantly deny. From this day forth, I realized that I really have to stand up for what I believe in. On this day, I realized that I should follow the desires of my heart. I talked with all the people closest to me. I sought advice to the people who matter so much to me. (If you know what I am talking about, it means you matter to me) Luckily, all of them responded positively with my concern. On this day, I promised to attend Sunday services na. I am just so thankful I have these people in my life.

I love you mama! (July 4) My mom and I had a talk over Facebook again. She reminded me yet again that I am a good person. She reminded me that there is nothing wrong following the desires of my heart. She told me that I have her support, and of course that she loves me very much.

My pre birthday celebration (July 6) - Papa cooked delicious food to welcome my 19th birthday. It was an early celebration since I have classes until nine on my actual birthday. Anj came over and we just had dinner at home and watched Master Chef Australia after. Simple yet happy.

My 19th birthday (July 7)- I didn't get the chance to take any picture of myself in my own special day. I also didn't remember what I did the entire day basically because it was just another normal day that I spent in school.

Hello GreenTee Part 2 (July 12) We got our shirts from the printing house, and we basically folded almost all 300++ shirts. It was tiring but still overwhelming. Yey!!

Surprise! (July 14) It was Anj and I's sixth year. It fell on a Thursday so basically we couldn't meet because of my 6-9 class. I prepared a surprise lunch for him by asking his office mates to take him to a nearby resto for lunch.  His officemates asked Anj by telling him to come over because one of his officemates would have to meet somebody he met somewhere. Ofcourse, they convinced Anj by telling him that they would treat him a free lunch. Luckily my surprise turned out to be a success. Anj and me, together with his 5 officemates had lunch together.

Dinner Date? (I forgot the date) Since we didn't get to have a decent celebration of our anniversary. We decided to have dinner. Anj was late because he left something in the office. That something was a very cute drawing that he asked his officemate to make a couple of weeks before our anniversary. I was initially mad ofcourse, because of him being late but the moment he gave me that, I smiled. Hee.

Fact: I am not a fan of expensive gifts. Not that I do not like receiving one. It's just that I like gifts which are personalized. I like it better when its made or thought of by someone special to me. It's just so heart warming to know that someone had put an effort to do or to think of something for you.

Thank you, Math (July 22) Everyone knows how much of a sucker I am when it comes to numbers. I seriously am not capable of understanding highly sophisticated Mathematical theories so when I get a passing score in any of my Math exams, I really feel happy. On this day, I got a score of 86/100 in my Math quiz. It wasn't so high. As a matter of fact, the average score of the class was at 86, but still. I was so happy. I felt as if I'm on cloud 9. La la la. Thank you Lord!

Noriter, forever (July 22-29) I spent all my free hours in Noriter, waiting for customers to come over and claim their orders. I thank Green Tee for shouldering cake expenses, and Noriter for the Wifi and the comfy place.

A sad day is still an okay day. (July 31) My day started with the way I didn't want it to be. I just learned that Anj is so sick that he couldn't come over and watch the ball game with us, live. I was sad because father asked tickets for him pa naman, but anyway. I understand. I was also sad because I've been wanting to complete attending Sunday services for this month. It was very heart breaking to know that we (me and Andre) couldn't attend Sunday services today. Instead of succumbing to the feeling of being grumpy and sad all day, I prayed. I asked the Lord to grant me a heart that understands and so He did. The day did turn out okay. There were still really temper rising instances today but I thank the Lord for sparing me from all the unnecessary temper that I am about to feel.

July had been a month full of ups and downs for me but I am grateful I am still here, enjoying the life that the Lord has lent me. Just being alive right now makes me feel very blessed regardless of all the trials have paved my way on this month.

From the bottom of my fats and heart, I am very happy to say 
Goodbye Thank you July, Welcome August! 

Feeling very blessed,
Alyana
