PE DAY at BAGYO

Date: Saturday, Sept. 26, 2009


Alas! PE day is finally over. Congratulations to those teams who won. It was a tough day for everyone. It is really a pain in the ass(LITERALLY O_O) to sit for a long time... But I guess, it was fun watching the games, especially the volleyball boys and girls.

BAGYO SA PINAS!: My sister got stranded in a bus (In Banawe) for MORE THAN 6 hours from NOW! I think she will be sleeping there (In the bus). I feel worried for her because there is no food and water. My mother is also stranded in MOA. She's currently with my two uncles and two cousins. My father is left in our house in Quezon City. My mother said that our house is currently brownout. It is a bit frightening because I heard in the news that the flood rises as time pass by. T__T

Ito ang PAMILYA Ko at AKO

Date: Sunday, Sept. 20, 2009



My family (Quezon city, 1999)


Muli akong bumalik sa nakaraan.

Tandang- tanda ko pa noong dumating kami dito sa Davao na halos mga damit lang namin ang aming mga dala. "Walang-wala" kami noon. Nanirahan lang kami sa isang napakaliit na bahay na halos walang gamit. Masmalaki pa nga ang klasroom namin kahit ipagsama pa ang laki ng sala at kainan namin! Tuwing kami ay kakain, nagsisiksikan lamang kaming kumain sa aming mesang gawa sa isang maliit na kahon. Wala rin kaming mga upuan kaya naman sa sahig lamang kami nakaupo. Isang kwarto lang kami lahat natutulog. Walang higaan pero mayroong kutson. Ganito kami nagsimulang nanirahan dito sa Davao.

Habang tumagal, nakihiram kami ng gamit sa mga kakilala at mga kamag-anak namin. Ang stove namin, hiniram namin sa tiyo namin. Nagkaroon na rin kami ng mesa at upuan pero hiram pa rin. May sariling T.V kami pero pinag-aagawan naming magkakapatid. Madalas sumisilip ako sa bintana ng kapitbahay namin para makapanood ng paborito kong anime show.

Tuwing taon, palipat-lipat kami ng bahay. Kaya nga wala ako masyadong kilala sa mga kapitbahay namin. Parati akong nasa loob ng bahay. Kahit na ganoon, mas nagiging komportable namang tirhan ang mga bahay na nililipatan namin.

Minsan, hindi nga ako makapaniwala kung paano kami nakabangon. Para talagang HIMALA! Grabe talaga ang pagsisikap ng mga magulang ko. Dati halos laging wala si Papa. Sa tuwing nasa bahay naman siya, lagi siyang tulog at pagod. Si mama naman, lagi niya kaming naasikaso. Hindi sila nagkulang sa pagpapalaki sa amin. Lahat ay gagawin nila sa ikabubuti namin. Talagang masasabi kong mapalad kami at sila ang naging mga magulang namin. Hindi ako nagsisisi na naging mga magulang ko sila. Kahit mahirap kami, nagawa pa rin nina mama at papa ipag-aral kami sa Ateneo de Davao University. Masasabi kong walang hihigit sa kanila bilang mga magulang.

Kahit ngayong nakatira na kami sa "dream house" ng mama ko, hindi pa rin namin kinakalimutan kung ano kami dati. Laging nasa isip namin ang maging mapagkumbaba.

Araw-araw kaming nagpapasalamat sa Diyos. Sa oras ng aming paghihirap, hindi Niya kami iniwan. Pinagtibay Niya ang pagsasama ng aming pamilya. Kahit sobrang hirap na namin ay hindi iyon nakaabala sa amin upang maging masaya. Marami nang pinagdaanan ang aming pamilya pero hanggang ngayon BUO pa rin kami. Salamat sa Kanya.

... At ito ang Pamilya ko at ito AKO.

Dear God,

There were people who reminded me of my mistakes, yet I did not listen. You gave me obstacles so I would listen to them. I learned, but I never made a change. For these, I am sorry.

♥Thank You for the obstacles that I encountered, which taught me to be humble

♥Thank You for being with me until now

♥Thank You for giving me wonderful gifts which help me to become a better person

♥Thank You for being merciful and understanding

♥Thank You for giving me the chance to live, and to learn from every people I meet

♥Thank You for teaching me to be brave whenever I feel like running away

♥Thank You for easing the pain everytime I am hurt

♥Thank You for supporting my family

♥Thank You for giving me the best parents in the world

♥Thank You for being my way in all the dead ends of my life

I hope I will be able to go through anything that I am having difficulties right now. Please, guide me and protect me at all times.

Amen.

The Pilgrimage within Davao City

Date: Friday, Sept. 11, 2009


It was one not-so-sunny morning when 2 of my classmates and I started to have a long travel to 2 Parishes (Toril & Calinan) and 1 Chapel (Catalunan Grande). Our teacher required us to have a pilgrimage. We decided to visit the three farthest locations from the downtown instead of visiting the other four locations (besides, it's a sacrifice!).

Our first stop was the Sto. Rosario Parish in Toril. The Parish was very easy to find. We were amazed by the structural design of the Parish. It was a high ceiling and it was a very large place. I also liked the stained glass located at different parts of the Parish. The place was still under construction and there were few people who visited there at that time.

A Place to pray for the aborted babies

Next was the one and only Parish in Calinan. It was a 1 hour ride. We haven't had a hard time riding a jeepney. In fact, it was quite convinient. Anyway, when we arrived, the Parish was closed. The woman outside told us that there were people who tend to steal stuff from the Parish during weekdays that is why they lock the place. So, we stayed outside. On the other hand, before we left the place, I saw a place for prayer for aborted babies. It was rare for me to find something like that. So, I took time to take a picture.

I am already T I R E D!

Czar, Karl, and I were very happy because it didn't took a sweat to go to the two Parishes. When we arrived at Catalunan Grande to find the Adoration Chapel of the Pink Sisters, we had a difficult time. We walked as far as we could. It was veeeerrrryy tiring. We were exhausted! But at alas, we arrived at the place. The Chapel was so quiet. I could feel that the place was Holy.

In the end, we still enjoyed everything! It was a great experience. I wish we were able to share those experience to those who did not come with us this day.

Mahjong- Saki!

Date: Monday, Sept. 07, 2009


I am currently watching anime and one of my favorite is Saki. The story starts with a high school student whose name is Miyanaga Saki. Later, the Mahjong club of their school found out her ability to get straight 0 scores. The club members tried to convince Saki to join their club, until such time, Saki agreed. Then, she promised to go to the Nationals together with her team mates.

At first, I thought it would be boring, but instead the portrayal of the Mahjong as a sport is really interesting. Sometimes I would ask my parents if they could teach Mahjong (too bad they don't want to). =( I always feel excited each time I watch Saki play Mahjong. The sound and visual effects in the anime are really cool. I really know that some would find Saki an enjoying anime to watch!

Yasia Fiesta!

Date: Wednesday, Sept. 02, 2009


Our teacher told us that the Asian Youth Day will be held here in the Philippines. The AYD Pilgrim Cross visited Davao. I heard that the Cross only visited two schools in Davao, the Ateneo de Davao University and the Holy Cross of Davao. My classmates and I, together with 2B1 of the Accountancy div, was required to dance the Yasia Fiesta, the theme song of AYD 2009. Well, I really like the song. It has been my LSS for a while.

SCHOOL: Everyone is still busy. There is so much to study about. Just this morning, my teacher re-grouped us in PHC Lec. It was my first time to be grouped with some N1 classmates. I really hope that everything will turn out good! (Smiles for all of us!)

About Soujee Otarra

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!

In the real world, I am just a plain human being who loves anime. The first anime that I liked was Sailormoon. Then, I started to draw anime-like figures when I was 8 yrs old. As time passed by, I watched cosplayers on TV, and started to dream to become one. Whenever I watched these cosplayers, I always felt that cosplaying is a great expression for the love of anime. Cosplaying, for me, was like M-A-G-I-C! Cosplay just gives color to my life~ it makes anime world 3D~ tehee :3

Where Everything Started...

I made my first blog at pitas.com when I was 13 years old. It was my first encounter on codes. I started self-studying. I always read tutorials from the internet to educate myself. It was my first blog. My first entries were about my everyday activities. [Yes, it was boring] Until now, I blog. I post things about my life and things that I think would benefit others.

When I reached 14 yrs old, I learned how to use the Adobe Photoshop in our I.T class. It was fun! I read Adobe Photoshop tutorials and started getting involved in graphic design [I just know a few things about it]. At the age of 15, I had a formal education on HTML in our school, Ateneo de Davao University.

Soon, I decided to transfer my blog to diaryland.com because I thought it was more convinient. From anime1861, I changed it to Soujee. I just felt that it was easier for people to remember "soujee" than "anime1861".
