News
Just some things that are absolutely new to me or where I got used to once before but lost track and now back. Lemme see...
1. Being active in our Parish.
I started serving the Lord by joining various activities here in our Parish since I was 9 (3rd grade). But I think because of some reasons of not being able to grasp the new members and old members leaving one by one, I just stopped. But now, I'm back. Not exactly easy, yes, but nonetheless back and very much happy and focused on my intention. =)
2. Writing down my Life Dreams.
Something absolutely new.
It's because with all of the struggles I've been though in the past with my health and with countless family problems, I think that the amount of growth I acquired is inevitable and well... helpful, of course! I started reading motivational books and discovered a mentor in Bo Sanchez. I learned that hey, writing down your dreams won't hurt AT ALL and it doesn't mean expecting too much or not letting God be the center of your life. Einstein said that the greatest magic in the world is daily compounded interest because it gives explosive results. I now second demotion!
3. Using lesser amounts of shampoo.
And mixing it with water.
Now this may sound absurd but it helps my hair! It may not be helpful to you or to most of the people I know, but I think plain shampoo is too strong for my hair, it sucks out all the moisture out of it! So I tried this thing and it worked! My hair is soft and smooth and not only that! It's a very cheap way to look like you've just been to a long soothing day in a salon.
4. Drinking cold water.
When I was a child, I never drank water if it's not straight from the freezer or if it's not with ice. I only started to get used to drink water with a tap temp. when I was in the 6th grade. And now, I'm back to ice-cold water. Do I need to explain why? Just how humid the weather in the Philippines is. JUST HOW! Grr
5. And last but not the least. Singing in front of new friends.
Back when I was a child, I never sang in front of anybody! Not even with my dad. He may hear me singing but not for him and/or with him. But now, I don't care. I'll sing my heart out with whoever there is because... well... just because. Haha
So... What's new with YOU?

Needy Me
I just felt like blogging. It's 11:17 PM and I should be there in front of the gazillion of dishes I was supposed to wash, but here I am... doing something that gives me simple feelings joy. Anyway!
Christmas is so nearing and I can't wait for the sweet scents of things that smell of Christmas and for the dazzling multi-colored Christmas lights of every house. But I must admit. I am still not prepared. I should be cleaning the house, making appropriate plans for our family's Christmas decorations and doing the things I didn't do last year!!!
Sabi ko last year na September pa lang, magpe-prepare na ko. That I will initiate with every Christmas "matter" in our family. Kaya lang, I think I'll be needing some sort of support and help from... every generous person I could reach. Generous people who'd share anything - love, uh... what else? I dunno. Yeah, well... Maybe some... cash, if they don't mind? Ha! I must be out of my mind. Kung anu-ano na naman naiisip at nasasabi ko.
I should go.
I'll leave with an open letter to heaven:
Dear God,
Okay I know I may sound very paranoid but I REALLY, REALLY, REALLY, REALLY need to make this Christmas more "spirit-y" this time. I need to put my plans into action and You know Who I need. I need YOU. Lord, please! Help me! And my family! Bless me and my family with enough inspiration and motivation to celebrate the birth of Your Son, our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ with the most love and happiness our family could have and share.
My God, ngayon pa lamang po, dinadalangin ko po ito sa Inyo nang buong puso. In Jesus' mighty name. AMEN! I love you God!
Your Faithful Child,
Hannah :)

new new
SETYEMPRE NA! Yay! I'm overly excited for Christmas. I'll start planing for our family's house decorations already. I hope this year will be better.
I joined something new last night. It's a youth organization here in our parish where we get to learn Theology from the OSJ seminarians. I'm happy I got to join in there. Very nourishing. =)
I'll update soon. I'm a bit preoccupied right now. =)

As a Matter of Fact
Tagged by my Doodles (Nons). And though I am not known to be a rule-breaker, I won't be following the tag-some-more-others rule because... I just don't want to. I tag YOU! I tag EVERYONE who wants to answer this. And now for the rules:
* Each blogger must post these rules first.
* Each blogger starts with eight random facts/habits about themselves.
* Bloggers that are tagged need to write on their own blog about their eight things and post these rules.
* At the end of your blog, you need to choose eight people to get tagged and list their names.
* Don't forget to leave them a comment telling them they're tagged, and to read your blog.
Here are mine:
1. I love wearing bangs. My friend told me once that I'm the " she-bangs" girl when I wear bangs and so to live up to the accustomed name by my friend, I wear my hair with bangs!
2. I am not really judgmental. I swear, you can come to me anytime with your craziest attitude and I will always, ALWAYS find a loophole to understand you or to accept you as a person. I don't usually think less of a person just because they are like this or like that.
3. I am in love with the idea of love. I can't wait to fall in love with my future man. And to take care of him and be taken care of him. :)
4. I LOVE PHOTOGRAPHY (I don't appreciate it before and if you know me, it doesn't show at ALL). I dream to be great with taking pictures, especially candid ones.
5. I believe in the ability of my fellow Filipinos. I believe in my country, the Philippines. I am not one of the people who HATE the government just because they hear many people around them throwing various accusations against the government. I am not against it, though I am not pro-government either.
6. I want to be a vegetarian. But I don't think I want it that bad already to become one.
7. My heart is foolish. :))
8. The Sims 2 is the only game I play in the computer. =D
Okay I'm done for today. hope that made you know me more. If you want to know more about me, though, just click here for my complete profile. Cheerios!

First Decent Post
I've decided to delete my previous post. Twas an "i-miss-you" blah for someone so naive. Lol. Why, you may ask, have I come to that decision? Well,
1. If there's one thing, it was overly mushy for me. I thought some bloghoppers might see me as someone talking mundane things. I mean, why, what's the point of expressing that feeling here?
2. Yeah, I know. "Write to express not to impress.". But I think I was not myself back then. I let myself be swallowed by various kinds of emotions and before I know it bam! Burst-outs. Lol. Yeah but oh well.
3. You should by then know that it goes without saying that I deleted it because I don't feel that way anymore. Hindi ako tangang maghahabol sa kanya. And besides. I don't need that right now! I have SO MANY things to think about. Goodness. I can't imagine how dense I was for actually feeling that way. Lol.
4. Inappropriate people might just get the chance to read it. And lastly,
5. I don't want seeing that kind of post in my newest blog. It's... just not me.
Enough said about the unknown "previous post". Lemme tell something about my blog. You see, this is not my first blog, nor a new account here in blogspot. This is my second account and.. Wait. No, third. Yeah, third account. And I think this is probably the third blog o'mine in blogspot. First one's soissammy, and second's samuelita. And I'm happy to come out with the HANNAHVANANA thing. Lol.
*Sigh*. I feel sad I won't get to talk to friends that much this week, though. They're all bombarded with loads of school projects and examinations and I certainly wouldn't want to be on their way. Although their presence will always be felt, no matter how busy they are. Why?
My best friend just lent me her book of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows and I started reading three or for hours ago. I think I'm in somewhere between Chapter 7 or 8. I wanted to read this very slowly and to digest it word per word because sadly, this is the last of the Harry Potter installment. It's very EXCITING though. I mean that, coming from a certified Harry Potter fanatic, it really is. The story has evolved from sweet magical children to dark and vicious lineups with countless twists and turns here and there. J.K. Rowling is a very good author. She should write MORE after this. Haha!
Anyway, I think I may still find some ways to entertain myself before going back to the Harry Potter saga (I'm taking a break from reading). Maybe organize my e-mail, try fixing my tag-board/layout here on this blog, reading about things that interest me, putting more songs into my baby Grey who is my iPod (that's a definite thing-to-do) and wait for someone I could talk to from my Y! Messenger friends list. =D
On that note, I shall bid you, my blog, a sincere adieu and tell you what. I'll see you again soon. Cheerios!
EDIT: My tag-board is now okay. fixed it right after posting this one here. TAGS ARE LOVE. So don't forget to leave a message!

STILL UNDER CONSTRCUTION!!!
My blog is still under construction. I don't know how to edit my Flooble Chatterbox. The area to write in the messages is not visible. I can't make that freaking box white.
I'm tired. I'm exhausted. Been sitting on this chair for almost six freaking hours already!!! =(
