”First you will smile, and then you will cry—don’t say you haven’t been       warned” - Nicholas Sparks, A Walk To Remember

So, I first read the book (before watching the movie) since I had this funny feeling in me to buy books that day. And the first book I look for is Nicholas Sparks’ books. It just amazes me how lovely he makes stories. I’d love to buy all his books one day. 

So my first ever Nicholas Sparks book is A Walk To Remember. I heard a lot about it from a few friends of mine so I decided to go read the book myself.

So I read it over my first week of summer. And… I really got hooked with how amazing the story was. At first, Landon was all bad-boy image. But then, he’ll merge into this humble guy. Well, to be honest, I just have this thing about bad-boys with a heart. But I just have to post it on a different topic. :) 

So as the story continues, I just have this feeling where I feel like I’m one of the characters. I imagine how they did those little-movements said on the book. I just feel like I’m Jamie Sullivan . Sorry for that but, the story just makes me feel like that. When I was at the last page of that book, I felt like bursting into tears, imagining if that happened in real life.

Well, another bow down moment for me to Nicholas Sparks. :) 

Lots of Love, 

A. 

Well, time flew really fast. I have to say. Our summer vacation started around 3rd week of March and… It feels sooooo fast. 

So as I was saying, based from my Title, I’m not yet ready for school. I mean, the waking up early, a lot of school works to do, the different situations everyone goes through. I’m just not yet ready for it, sorry. Haha. 

I only have a couple of days left ‘till I go back to school since classes start on June 4th. I really still don’t get it why it’s June 4th when other schools start by June 13th. But whatever. Well, to be honest, I haven’t set my school stuff yet. Haha, sorry for that again. With all the amazing things that happened to me last week, oh my gracious! I feel like I don’t want to let go of summer yet. 

I’m nervous for all the first day unexpected things to happen. All throughout summer, I was thinking he might be my classmate again and I was like, “No, just please… No. Everything’s going to be more awkward.” Well, enough of the awkward talk. But the point is, there’s going to be a lot of first day unexpected moments. And I can’t imagine blogging ‘bout it. 

So, that’s all for now. Hope I’ll be able to tell you my first day… Which I’m praying is a fun and not awkward first day. :p 

Lots of Love,

Well, it’s been days already since Joe Jonas left Philippines. His last show was held in Ayala Cebu. (Well, that’s what I remembered. Correct me if I’m wrong. Hihi!) JBNoys just couldn’t stop and miss Joe Jonas! Yes, I’m one of them, I have to say. 

I was lucky enough to meet Joe 3 times. And the first time was really unplanned. But it was all thank you to my momma for letting me go to Bench Glorietta. Hihi. :) 

Well currently, Joe is in Thailand and yes, he seems to be having an amazing time out there chilling. But this Post Joe Depression (or commonly known as PJD) is just, making me rewind to those moments he was performing, he did meet & greet and up to the last moment I saw him, when he did this signing. 

So, shout-out to all those JBNoys out there who is currently suffering PJD. We’re just going through the same thing. :( I don’t really know how to cure this since I have Joe Jonas-stuffs around me that just keeps me reminding of his Philippines visit. 

To Mr. Joseph Adam “Joe” Miller-Jonas, 

I just want you to know… This is what I feel right now. 

Oh well, he did mention in an interview that he’ll be asking his brothers to pack their bags and bring him here. So I’m just wishing they’ll be coming back. We all just have to wait and see. :) 

Lots of Love, 

A. 

With all honesty, I didn’t expect to win this thing. I just gave it a try since I’m a Jonas Fan. I told myself, “nothing’s wrong if you give it a try.” Well, I did saw Bench tweet about it early morning of May 22. So, I did my entry as fast as I could and submitted it. Good thing I finished it before mom came home to pick me up since we had to leave for DFA. 

If you want to know ‘bout what happened last May 22, the post is down there. Hihi. 

But let’s skip all the ‘I won-fangirling.’  moments. Night of May 22, I was getting all prepared and just keep on tweeting/texting some of my new Jonas friends. I even slept a little late that night but no biggie. 

When May 23 came, I woke up really early. I even almost forgot what’s up with me being early. When I turned in the TV, just in time the new says, “Joe Jonas” Then yes, I was back to my senses on why I woke up early. My mom even took a leave from her office just to come with me to this event. So, a big thank you to my momma. :) 

Here’s a picture of me and my lovely Jonas friends. :)

Raymond Gutierrez was the host of the afternoon. He did amazing! :) After his intro, Joe Jonas performed 3 songs from his new album, Fastlife.  

After the performance and the Q&A… It was the meet & greet already! Well, I still don’t have my picture but as soon as I receive it, I’ll be able to show you it guys! 

So, a big thank you to Bench for this amazing event. Job Well Done! :) 

‘Till the next event! 

Lots of Love, 

A. 

Well, Well, Well. Look who’s in town? The newest addition to the Bench family, Joseph Adam “Joe” Miller-Jonas! :) 

Yes, he’s the second of four Jonas. (Including Franky!) 

Well, I have to start of when I first saw him at Bench Glorietta last May 22. Sorry to say, I didn’t have any pictures taken. But yeah, here it goes. My mom and I left DFA around 4pm and I remembered that I saw Bench posted that Joe will visit Bench Glorietta around 3pm. Yes, we got there around 4pm already. But luckily, he was still doing a little-shopping in there. 

When he finally got out of the store, he took a picture of the fans & posted it on Instagram! Lucky you guys out there who are in that photo! ☺ When he started doing a few signatures, he was almost near our place! I was so ready to see him up close when all of a sudden, the security blocked him guarding him to the other side. But, oh well! It was still a star-struck moment for me.

The way he smiles, damn. 

BUT WAIT! There’s another one to come! :) 

Lot’s of love, 

A.
