CHAIN Gen San
Date: Friday, Apr. 20, 2012
I just went to General Santos City again, for the purpose of attending the CHAIN event to be held at Gaisano Gen San. SJ and I stayed at Florence home. It's amazing how their house is so bright! I also met her father and her sister, Karel. But anyways, I was really glad to bond with my closest friends at school. Too bad that Kim was not able to go with us. She had a flight going to Manila.
Sj and I cosplayed characters from D. Grayman. She was Allen Walker and I was Lena Lee. It's my second time to cosplay with Sj! She was sooooo cute in Allen costume. I hope I also did well in my cosplay.
I was also excited to meet cosplayers from General Santos City. It's my first cosplay outside Davao City. I was a bit nervous. I barely knew somebody there. So, I talked to strangers whom I just met. I was also eager to take some pictures to other cosplayers, but I wasn't able to do much of that there because I was wearing my costume and my feet hurts already (I was wearing a high heels shoes).
We did not have our lunch because we were afraid of getting late and not being able to join the contest. At the end of the day, SJ treated us at Bigbys!! We are all happy and--- HUNGRY!!
My friends and I would not meet a few days again. I will really miss them!
The Photoshoot at Gap Farm
Date: Friday, Apr. 13, 2012
So another day of Adventure! My newly founded friend asked me to have a photoshoot at Gap Farm. I was an hour early at the place. I've never been there, so I took the time to walk around the area.
The place is actually educational. You'll know about Filipino culture by just walking around. There are statues of different things such as Filipino natives, Philippine presidents, and etc. Then alas, I felt tired walking and sat down for quite awhile.
Finally, my newly found friends came. We talked for almost an hour and another hour for the photoshoot. I think, I did most of the talking. But seriously, I was really shy!
So first, it was a sweet lolita~ I'm a fan of lolita so much!!! I wasn't prepared to have a photoshoot of a lolita. *phew* I really hope I did great.
Next was an Allen Walker of D.Grayman. I really wanted to have that 'exorcist' feel. So we did it in a cave. But then, I'm still new in photography and I don't have such equipements. I really admit it, the pictures I took are noisy. T_T I really hope that this photoshoot has helped me a lot to improve my skills. How I wish there's someone there who knows better so that I was able to learn properly!

Holy Week
Date: Tuesday, Apr. 10, 2012
Holy week is a week to remind us how Jesus saved us from our sins. Other than doing prayers and Way of the Cross, it is also a time for our family to bond together. So, we went to Isla Jardin Del Mar in Saranggani.
fresh air, blue sky, and clean water
The place is still the same. Last year, we brought our own food and water, but now we decided to order in their restaurant. It was quite disappointing because they do not have a service water~! You need to buy their water if you wanna drink it. Also, their plate, spoon & fork, and glass are for rent~! We paid 5php each set. I almost thought that "WHY IS EVERYTHING FOR SALE HERE?!". We bought food in their restaurant yet we need to pay of our utensils that we used and also the for WATER! =.='
I enjoyed it~ <3
Anyway, I still enjoyed swimming even in a couple of minutes. It's also nice to take pictures around the area (there's the sea and a lagoon). The place is still so big even with lots of people coming there to enjoy.
it rained! X_X
Eat here while enjoying the view of the lake
After few days, we went to Lake Sebu! I really love the weather there- it's cold. The abundant plants and flowers makes the place cozy to stay.
Healthy flowers and plants
Also, the food were great! Each viand were cooked differently, but all made of Tilapia! OISHI!
Love Tilapia~!
So finally, our vacation has finally ended. We went home in Davao City after that day. *phew* Hopefully, I'll have lots of adventures next time~ tehee~~

Kyary's Shoes made my Day
Date: Wednesday, Apr. 04, 2012
Good morning! I'm currently in General Santos City. My family will be spending our Holy Week here.
Well, I was not able to have a 'good nigh' sleep. I'm still sleepy. There was debut party going on beside the house that we slept into. The loud music they were playing lasted until 2am [I think]. An accident happened in there also. A six-year old kid just died because she drown in the pool. It was already too late when they noticed her. The poor girl's body was already floating in the water when they saw her.
It scary knowing about it by the time I woke up. But then, life must go on. So, I went with my mom in the school's office and had and opportunity to use the computer.
I saw SJ posting a picture of Kyary Pamyu Pamyu in my FB profile.
I really like kyary!!
I was looking at her shoes!!! It was almost the same to the shoes that was given by my brother as a gift. Seeing it just really made my day. LOL I know it's very low of me, but then I can't help it, I'm a fan of Kyary after all~ XDD
from Primadonna
Now, I love my shoes even more~~ I'll treasure it. I knew from the very beginning we bought it, I was not wrong. I know I really had good vibes with that shoes when I saw it at Primadonna store. *_*
her album
I was really thinking on 'why can't I buy her album instead of buying a wig'. But then wigs are really important to me because it's part of my hobby. I really wish someone would give an album of kyary as gift someday so that I would no longer need to spend so much on it. I'm trying my best to save money for something else. T_T
White and March
Date: Monday, Apr. 02, 2012
I told you that I'll make my blog white! So here is my dirty white layout. What do you think? Quite boring, I KNOW! I was thinking awhile ago, "It's very different from the Soujee that makes colorful and bright layouts". But come to think of it, this is an advantage for me. I plan to concentrate on the images that I post in. To do that, I need a plain piece of blog where the photos I'll be posting will stand out. So this is a challenge for me. *_*
So who's in the banner btw? Ofcourse it's no other than me. It's a self portrait I made last year. It's an original character/concept of me as Sloth for our class picture. The barcoad boarders are just something that I just thought of adding. Maybe sometime, I'll make a tutorial on how to make a barcoad design in photoshop. ^-^ But anyway, as you can see the textbox is now wider than before because I'd like to encourage myself to write and tell you (readers) more about the things that I'm recently been interested with.
What happened while I was away in my blog?
1. Araw ng Davao: It's my first time to attend in a cosplay event during the Araw ng Davao. I did not cosplay, but I just took some photos. I never thought that many people would come and join the event. It was really H O T! I really admired those cosplayers who were there because it was really difficult to be in a costume with summer's hot weather. There were even kids! They're so cute. How I wish I was able to cosplay such a young age >_>.
Jaq-Jaq Abenoja as Taichi of Digimon
Gundams
Jaq-Jaq is recently one of my favorites every cosplay event in Davao City. He's been pretty good in this kind of hobby. The details of his costume is quite amazing as well and I really think he is also resourceful~ I also think he is quite cute *.* and oohh yeah, Gundams! They've been lurking around in Davao cosplay events since last year (I think). I just observed that since then, there are less Akatsuki cosplayers lately in Davao. I wonder why. o.o(?)
glad to be with my Father in my graduation day! =D
2. Graduation Day! I'm glad to be with my father during graduation day. I think has put so much effort to make sure that someone in our family will attend my graduation. *tears* He was really there in my Hooding Ceremony and during the actual graduation day. I'm very thankful that he's my father. He's always kind and works hard to make sure that we (his children) are able to go to a nice school.
I'm happy my mother was able to be there~!
the best people I met in College
I'm glad my mother arrived for my Pinning and Ring Hopping Ceremony! I really want her to put the ring on my finger~! I really want to make her proud that I was also able to graduate in BSN program and become an RN just like her (yes, my mother is a nurse). So I was really happy that she came eventhough she's still tired from her travel.
"We finally made it guys!"-- Of course, the graduation won't be happy without my closest friends in college. They are actually my peers. They're the one who's helping me a lot in school (emotionally, physically, and financially xDD). They're my true friends. They're the one that I've been with during sad and difficult times in school. *phew* I'm kind of worried that we won't see each other more often--- but hopefully we will still be able to bond sometime.
So there guys, these are the important things that happened to me lately. ^-^
Davao Kpop Mini Convention
Date: Thursday, Feb. 02, 2012
[hindi na bago na late ako magpost]
I'm graduating so I'm quite busy at school and forgets to blog. T_T But anyway, last Sunday[Jan 29, 2012], I just went to the first Kpop Convention I've ever attended. It's just a mini convention here in Davao City, but it really means a lot for KPOP Lovers.
FANS dancing Be My Baby[WONDER GIRLS] and The Boys[SNSD]
There was even a dance contest! Gee~ I never knew that many from Davaoenios know how to dance! It was fantastic. I've never expected them to be so competitive. The audience was also captivated by their dance moves.
Pinpin[top photo] and Deydey taking photo[bottom photo]
What I like about the mini convention were the times fan girls and fans boys are shouting for their biases! I know that their shouts were not therapeutic at all but still I feel soooooo happy hearing them shout! It's amazing how these people become so loyal and passionate to their biases!
Everyone's favorite was picture taking! LOL
wearing my "starcraft queen" shirt [KYUHYUN bias] and Athena wearing her "hae is mine" shirt [DONGHAE bias]
our group picture! [AdDU CON]
DAVAO ELFs [we love SUJU]!!
THE REST OF THE PICTURES ARE HERE[CLICK]. ^-^V Enjoy~~
Moon Cafe
Date: Sunday, Dec. 04, 2011
The place is enticing
My mother and sister are now back here in Davao from Iloilo. That night, we ate our dinner at Moon Cafe located at Abreeza Mall.
me,sister,mother,aunt (left to right)
We were served with delicious food namely Moon Steak, Chicken Mozzarella Cheese, Beef Steak, and Chicken Salad. I don't remember the exact names of these food but I am pretty sure that it's close enough to their real names. XD

How to make a Head Bow
Date: Friday, Oct. 21, 2011
note: I do not really sew. This is just how I thought a bow is made. I hope this will still help you.
1. Prepare ALL materials needed. Please refer to the picture for the materials. (Headband, cloth, scissors, stiffener, tailor's chalk, pin heads, needle, thread)
2. Cut two pieces of cloth with your desired length and width for your bow.
3. Use pins to attach the two pieaces of fabric. Note: reverse side should be facing outside.
4. Use tailor's chalk to draw sewing lines on ALL sides of the cloth.
5. Also put a mark where you are not suppose to sew. Note: This will leave an opening in your bow which will be helpful in the later part.
6. Following the sewing lines, do a back stitch.
7. On the part you did not sew is an opening.
8.Pull the inner part going outside.
9. Leave that opening as is.
10. Get the hard white fabric (stiffener) and trace the size of your bow and cut it.
11. Roll it and put it inside the cloth. Spread it inside.
12. Fold the cloth to make it look like a bow.
13. Sew the middle part of the bow to make it stable.
14. If you made another small bow, get a thin cloth to tie it together.
15. Cut and sew a rectangular cloth.
16. Roll it at the center of the cloth and sew it.
17. Attach your headband and you're done! :)
Stuffed with more Food!
Date: Friday, Oct. 14, 2011
Two days ago, I was again stuffed with more food! After the basketball game of my brother, we went to Abreeza mall and had out lunch together. We ate at Teriyaki Boy. My mother and I ordered Katsudon. I love to order their Chicken Teriyaki, but the last time ordered the food, it was not as tasty as we expected it to be. There, we had Katsudon.
I was stuffed! I even had a bottomless iced tea to pair with it. We went to SM to visit my aunt there. She's a dentist and owns a clinic there.
cousin enjoying dinner
look how BIG I became!!! O_O
Night came and my aunt invited us to eat with her and my cousin. We went to Safari Grill Buffet located at Torres. Their pork and chicken barbeque was the best!!! What's more- they even had eat all you can ice cream! Yes, you can get as many ice cream you want! >_>
I'm afraid that I need to loose weight. Semester break makes me fat. T_T
SANDWICH
Date: Tuesday, Oct. 11, 2011
I just made sandwiches for everyone in the house today! Y U M! It has ham, cocumber, lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, onions, mayo, and ketchup!
The more vegetables it has, the more yummy it gets! mmmmmmmmmm! And tomorrow I'll make another batch of sandwiches again! +__+
NURSING PANTHERS
Date: Sunday, Aug.14, 2011
It was F U N being with the Nursing Panthers during the SAYAWTENISTA during our college fiesta. They performed Pointer Sisters' Fire and I'm so Excited.!
But before their actual performance, we had an impromptu photoshoot at the school. I'm so glad I had an opportunity to do this together with Kim Venus and Cherchell Yambao.
V I C T O R Y
Date: Sunday, Jul. 17, 2011
It's cropped! waaa
I saw clearly the moon with my two eyes the night before the opening of Palarong Atenista. Then, I realized that I never tried taking a photo of the moon (yes, oh the moon!). Using my kit lens (and yes, my one and only lens), I tried getting a glimpse of the moon on the window of my room. I'm still learning so it really took me long D= .
Flowers and plants are abundant in the place
Yesterday, though I live in Davao City, it was my first time to be able to go to People's Park. WOW! It was amazingly beautiful! I never thought that Davao City had a paradise in the heart of it.
Shotz Hernandez
On that same day was the long awaited opening of the Palarong Atenista. I was again proud to be part of the College of Nursing. It's not yet over of us eventhough there's only a few of us left in the vocation. As Shotz and Gem win as Champions in the Dance Showdown, they have proved to the other divisions that we are still as much as competitive in the past.! GO FOR NURSING! =D
Home Photos
Date: Sunday, Jun. 26, 2011
I woke up in the morning late. I had no duty at the hospital and so, I spent the day at home.
Finally, I realized that this is the moment that I could take some pictures of my favorite puppy of my beloved pet, Yu Hu. Her puppy, which I named Dusky(his colors are more of a black with white stains), is a Dachshund. He belongs to the 2nd batch of puppies that Yu Hu had. Eventhough his mom, Yu Hu, is a pure Dachshund, his dad is 1/4 Husky and 3/4 Dachshund. Anyway, everything in his genes made him cute! That's why yesterday was a great opportunity to have his cuteness be an image!
isn't he adorable? <3
So, I grabbed my camera and went to take a photo of him. In my opinion, I think he's that cutest puppy that Yu Hu ever had. Though his mom always gets angry at him because he always eats foods that are not meant for him.
squiiiiishhhhyyy!!
Later that day, I decided to try out the wig I test-buy on Yi Wu SoFuBiz Wigs. (It's stunning to have a wig like it for a cheap price.!) But then, my cousin visited us because we are going to watch Buildex together that night. Anyway, I came up to an idea that it will be easier for me to take photos of the wig if she'll be the one to wear it.
She agreed. So, I let her wear the wig and an overly sized plastic glasses. I actually had fun and I know she also did.
I never thought that I could actually take so much pictures just in our house.! I was really glad about it. I was also hoping that through this, I can improve and make myself better with this hobby.
Nsg Orientation Day
Date: Saturday, Jun. 25, 2011
CON's theme this year is Philippine Fiestas! Eventhough we had our duties, we still had the time to prepare for our Nursing Orientation Day which was held yesterday. It was just so colorful and gay.!
Beautiful and handsome nursing students had their catwalk on stage. Students danced according to their festival at the isle.
The day was just full of energy! There were dancing and singing. Smiles were seen constantly on people's faces. It was just terrific.!
In the end, everyone was tired and dry. But all over, it was worth it! Yesterday was the day that we need to prove that Nursing at school is still alive!

Pizza in the House!
Date: Saturday, Jun. 11, 2011
I was saying awhile ago that I was bored, but when late afternoon came- We have decided to make home-made pizza! I really tried my best to convince my mother. *__* We have dough, ham, mushroom, and cheese!
Was it good? It was great! Our little tummies were fulfilled! XD
Wounded and Frustrated
Date: Saturday, Jun. 11, 2011
I drew this 'coz I'm bored staying inside my room
My wound is not yet completely healed. I still feel pain and yet I went to school yesterday. Still, I need a classmate to help me walk around. Today, I decided to rest. The doctor says that I need to wait 30-90 days until the suture will be gone. I'm frustrated that I cannot do what I need to do at school.*sigh* I'll even gain more extensions in my duty because of my absences. I just really hope to get well and to be better. :(
PS: Later I'll go to Kim's house. It's her birthday tomorrow and she'll be celebrating it today! =D
Cousins meet Cousin
Date: Monday, Jun. 06, 2011
And at last, we met our cousin, Buildex. I never met him before since he doesn’t attend in our family reunion, but our parents know each other very well. He visited the Dental Clinic at SM (owned by my uncle) for a dental check-up. Together with my two more cousins (Sam and Carmela), we met Buildex. He was friendly and nice. He even agreed that we will call him “couz’”.
It was amazing that a lot of people knew him. Just awhile ago, he was singing. Then, by the next look, people were already taking photos of him. He was not only in Davao City for his teeth but the Mayor also invited him to stay because they arranged a motorcade for him tomorrow. It's lingaw to know he's becoming a celebrity. Their family also shared that he already signed a contract with Star Magic. +__+ Basta, it was cool.
Surely, our family will continue to support him all the way long— manalo man o matalo +_+ AJA!
Parent's Love
Date: Sunday, Jun. 05, 2011
I'm now discharged from the hospital. It was Thursday when I felt severe pain on my left lower abdominal region that radiates at my back. Oral medications doesn't relieve the pain anymore. It was the next morning when we have decided that I needed to get to the nearest hospital. I really cried hard because I can no longer bare the pain. That same day, I undergone ultrasound twice (abdominal and rectal). The results revealed that I had a 10cm cyst on my left ovary. The physician says that the ovary might have twisted causing the pain. Then, they gave me Demerol so that I can sleep at night. The next day, I was operated. The cyst was benign. They took away the cyst including my left ovary.
I was scared. I was crying and praying that everything will be alright. My mother stayed late and took care of me. I was safe, but guilty. My parents paid a lot for my surgery and the family has no income right now. This morning, my mother took bath of me. I cried and told her "sabi ko kasi sa sarili ko, ako mag-aalaga sa inyo..." and my mother told me "anak hindi mo naman kasalanan ba't ka nagkasakit. okay lang yun." .... since I was still at the womb of my mother, I was already causing pain to her. She experienced bleeding while she was pregnant to me. Ika nga nila "mahina ang kapit ko".
My parents love to me was just soooooo BIG that my heart melts. I just wish I could repay them someday. I just wish I could return their love ten times bigger! I just wish that I could be someone of use to them... and bare them no aches.
BUILDEX
Date: Sunday, May. 29, 2011
Hindi naman artistahin ang aming pamilya kung kaya't madalas lamang talaga may nakakapasok sa mga malalakihang kontest tulad ng Pinoy Got Talent, kaya todo suporta na kami.
Our mother always told us that "family always comes first". You see our family is big that we became a CLAN in Digos City. BUILDEX's mom is part of our clan. So when we learned that his son got into PGT, everyone was just sooooo supportive. No wonder that his name in the tarpaulin was always "buildex DELA CRUZ pagales". His mother's maiden name never disappeared. Everyone started texting and campaigning via internet [I did too]! Just awhile ago our family was going crazy jumping and shouting because we were thrilled on what was happening on PGT!!! Mom was calling our relatives and telling them to vote and watch for buildex~ it was really crazy! XD I just hope when everything is over [just what Kris Aquino said], hopefully, Buildex will never forget his family that supported him and that he would remain humble.
FACT: Buildex's name was given by his father who is an engineer and that's why his name came to be.
New Layout, at LAST!
Date: Saturday, May. 28, 2011
photo source: http://www.advancedanime.com
Now I've done it! New layout. New look. New colors.
I'm really glad that I browsed my files and found my old blog layouts. I was inspired to see what I have done in the past. I managed to make the same layouts with different designs. Everything just went back in me. I remembered using pastel colors, green and pink, and simplicity. I know this blog layout is not extra-ordinary, but I'm really happy with it. This is all what my brain can reach. But really, *__* I feel so fulfilled that at last, I'm back!
I really hope that I can manage to update and continue to write in my blog. Also, I'll try to blog hop too! :D
I am not a male, but a female. My real name is not Soujee. It is just the name I use whenever "I'm online". Soujee came from the name of Soujirou Seta. I am one of his fans, and my online friends started calling me Soujee. When I got used to the name, I started using "Soujee" as my online name. Otarra is one of my real names. Don't get it wrong because I am not a Japanese, but a proud Pinoy!
