Whew! Finished raving the Christmas eve events.. and now, Christmas day! Yay! Still at Jorben Compound, Batasan Hills..
..I was awakened by loud singers from the neighborhood. What time? 10:00 something in the morning. Boohoo. Puyat! Ahahaha! But it was worth it waking up and having the chance to read those replies from your friends and loved ones..especially those church mates of mine from Youth Alive Ministry. They're one heck of funny Kuyas and Ates and of course those who are younger than me.
Jeah: "Kuya Jem! Kuya Jem! Matagal ko nang gusto 'to sabihin sa'yo kaso.. baka lumaki ulo mo. E since Birthday ni Jesus magpakatotoo na tayo. Malaki talaga ulo mo. At isa kang malaking blessing sa aming mga kabataan..You're a great leader and a minister as well. My God shower you with more blessings kaso sana lang 'wag kang mauntog! Kasi pag nauntog ka....YOU DESERVE IT! Hahahaha! I love you Kuya, Merry Christmas to you and your family! ;)" KuyaJem: "Uy, Jeah... kasama mo ba si Janz? Wala kasi dito e.. sainyo ba nag pasko yun? di nagpapaalam.." Jeah: "Ay.. di po e." Kuya Jem: "Woo tampo na.. hahahahaha! Joke lang yun! Merry Christmas din di mo lang alam qualified ka na maging leader though malay natin hindi pa ito ang God's time.. May God use you not only efficiently but effectively. Okay parang pareho lang yun! Sige luvu Jeah! Si Janz ba wala talaga sainyo? hahahaaha! God bless!"
Jeah: "Kuya Andoy! Andoy Briano Ragualio! :))) Hahaha. Kuya Andy Brian Ragual, kita mo naman kahit Smart ka nagpPM ako sa'yo. Matuwa ka naman. Regalo ko ha? Hahaha. E since special kid ka, tinetext kita ngayon. Haha. Merry Merry Christmas Kuya! Kahit lagi kita sinsapak at binabara Kuya ka padin. Hehe. Leader ka at staff lang ako. Daya! Haha joke! Basta sorry alam ko minsan super kulit ko di mo na ako masaway. Haha. Kasi, pikon ka. HAHAHA! Regards kay Allen ah. Bless you all! Love you Kuya Andoy!" Kuya Andy: "Hoy JEAHNG MAMA! Wag ka nang magabala nag regalo ka pa.. kaw talaga! Kahit wag na.. (iabot mo sakin sa mamaya ha?) Hahaha! Merry Christmas din sainyo..God is still molding you to lead and I'm blessed kasi sa age mong yan you can lead people to Him.. continue to be a blessing. MAMA!!!!"
Haha, babaw? I got up, prayed and thank God for everything then suddenly I heard footsteps. Tiny ones. Woooo! my favorite cousin, Kyle rushed to the door wearing a cute smile and hugged me.. His father is Lebanese while her mom is my Daddy's sister. I gave him the ampao greeting him Merry Christmas. He is such a sweet kiddo. I freshened up then went downstairs (the coolest thing in my Dad's house is that he designed/built it together with Tito Boyette his brother, also an architect, with so many bathrooms. Woo!) I forgot to brush my teeth but I am actually holding my toothbrush, so I went through another bathroom and there.. done brushing! Signs of aging, tsk! Hahaha!
I can't actually believe it but it's true, Tito Boyette is sleeping with a PSP on his chest. Hahaha. That made me LOL-ing. Haha! I woke him up by a kiss and greeted him a sweet Merry Christmas.. I found out that he was just napping. Of course, older people get up early, right? "Gumanda ka lalo! Haha.. musta si JP? Hahaha!" -Tito Boyette. Loko yon!
Bonded with Tito Esau, who just recently recovered from an operation. His appendix just went out from his system. Coooool! And and some of my cousins like Carl and Kyle. Kim was not there but Tita Mae is present. And since Tita Mae knows almost every kid in the compound, she enlisted everyone and prepared an ampao for each of them containing P50.00 na malutong! Haha! Almost 50 kiddos received an ampao from Daddy. Haha. And yeah, they call Daddy as "Daddy B" and if only my Mommy is here, she will be called as "Mommy Eps" 'cause her nickname is Eppie. My cousins, friends who are really close to us call them as such.
Ate their Noche Buena as my brunch. Breakfast and lunch at the same time. Talked about the Word of the Lord. Tito Boyette, like Dad, is forcing me to be involved in a Leadership Training for Discipleship. I think I really need it. It will help me a lot especially when I minister to the youth. Discipleship Training is a lot different from Worship and Church involvements they suggest.
DVDs! Tito Esau recommended this one from Nicole Kidman. It's funny, though some of the scenes are kind of explicit but it's part of the movie. Haha! Stupid swindlers!
..after which I started looking for a great movie from the pack of DVDs there.. I played a Samurai/Chinese/Flying Fighting girls movie and found out that there's no available subtitles. Ahaha. My Titos are so good in making people laugh! They made up their own stories by dubbing some scenes in the movie. Haha. Kulet! And that made me remember that yesternight while waiting for Daddy, we watched this very funny video from YouTube, "Visaya version-Harry Potter"HAHA! I finally got the chance to watch Hillary Swank's Freedom Writers! I cried. Watch it.
My 5 days unlimited just expired. Haha! Eat lots'a foods and bonded with them.. Kyle has his own cellphone and the funny thing is he can really send messages and call any one! *fast forward here* before we actually leave the place, Kuya Ton, Tita Bevs and Darlene came.. Wee, my cute niece. Too bad we're about to leave that time. Home. Kuya Beso's home, alone. Daddy showered and left for an appointment. Shobe and I also took a bath, then left for church.
5:30 PM - Candle Light Service at Word of Hope Church The preaching was entitled "What Makes Christmas Special?" --and hey! It's the promise of eternal life when Jesus was born to save our sins! Think about it!
Lighting of the candles. It was the coolest part. Pastor Dave explained that we do this every Christmas to be reminded that God left us with a very big responsibility. That is, despite turmoils and chaos, to be the light of the world. He entrusted to us a mission to be fulfilled: to remain Holy despite impurities.. for we know Jesus, the son of God is living in us and we must reflect His light to others especially the lost. The ambiance was nice when the lights went off and all you could see are lighted candles. We sang Light of the World and Amazing Love (where I found myself crying) and afterward, the service ended.
We greeted every Corban Wheels Ministry Members and almost everyone we know from Youth Alive Ministry. Woo! Haha! Jed gave us his gifts from Blue Magic. Thanks, Jed-dy Bear! Haha! We love you! Laugh trip until we left the Church. Haha. Kuya Jem and Kuya Otet harassed me! It started when I called him and shouted "HOY! BONAK!" (okay decode that "bonak" thing. Haha!) Dahhh. Scratches from nails were all around my arms. Grabe. Kiniliti nila ako hanggang maglupasay ako sa sahig. Hahahahaha!
Kuya Otet: *locking my arms* Ano papalag ka pa? Jeah: RAAAAAPPPPEEEE!!! Kuya Otet: *released my arms* Mandiri ka nga! Everyone laughed so hard.. Aw, bid goodbye to them..
Went to Circle-C. Shobe wants to check out if she can buy something there. I saw Jemimah from Glendale and greeted her as well. Home.
Really, UNCOLDITIONAL LOVE from above made my Christmas so special.

I believe that if you love God, you must be irrevocably devoted to Him with 101% of who you are. Talents are senseless if it doesn't give any glory to the one who gave it, don't you think?
History was made. His story was known. Read on..
I go by the name of Jahaziel Ann P. La Guardia, also known as Jeah. My name was derived from 2nd Chronicles 20:14 of the Bible. Yes, Prophet Jahaziel is a "he", no wonder I am like a man trapped in a woman's body. Maybe that explains why most of my friends are boys and I do a lot of boy stuffs rather than being girly but I do get along well with girls also. Yes I am one of the boys since I was a kid. Haha!
Some random facts about me: Because I am unique from my own perception at least, I sometimes feel too responsible for things that happens around me. I'm somewhat a perfectionist and like to have things done just right or with much effort or so. But I can be in both extremes though. Extremely messy or extremely spic and span. Extremely naughty and extremely behave, extremely funny and crazy and extremely silent. Things as such, you name it. Hahahaha!
Though I am patient with people even when they aren't polite and considerate of my feelings, sometimes, if being kind and pleasant doesn't work, I can be tough and sharp if I need to. Add the fact that I can be the friendliest person you can ever meet 'cause talking to strangers and to different kind of species is my thing and the word shy is out of my vocabulary. I consider my self a very socially bold, outgoing person, but contrary to that, people seems to treat me less reasonably than my good intentions deserve. Well it's always a part of everyone's life and that's how ironic it is. Right? Hahaha!
I can be the most blessed person in the world for I consider my self as an achiever but as life goes on and as I continue to face more challenges that will make my faith stronger and will build my self confidence through many outstanding awards and recognitions for my skills and talents, I continue to recognize that none of these things will be possible without our good Lord. For without God, I am nothing. Though people is consistently inconsistent with their appreciations and compliments, one thing is for sure, only GOD knows who I am and NO ONE, I mean NO ONE has the right to judge and insult me without consulting HIM. I am imperfect and I commit mistakes, but only GOD can make me clean and pure. Are we good with that? :)
The first greatest privilege in my life is knowing My Savior, Jesus Christ and the second greatest privilege in my life is the chance to lead others to Him. So here's the stitch, once I know you, you became my BURDEN. Simply because, my passion is: To know HIM, and make HIM known. I am a full time Student, and a Full time Minister as well. I believe that everything is beautiful in God's time, so we don't have to rush things. I am the busiest person you can ever know. I think about the awesome task of reaching the multitudes with the gospel. And I consider how meaningless all the busyness, commotion and “progress” is if life is lived without God.
This blog is made to advocate that having an intimate Relationship with Jesus Christ is never dull. Never a bore. But indeed it is full of adventures and fun-filled experiences!
This blog is All for HIM, who deserves me and you! I believe He deserves EVERYTHING.

I am blogging since the month of July, year 2008. And I have used so many skins already. Used the base codes only but everything (from the header images and hex codes, etc) always comes from my own creativity. I wanted to be original though my skills in HTML/Javascripts and/or CSS is limited and I can not do my own base codes. But I can turn a skin to an entire different one. You think it's easy? A big no. You must know how to decode everything. Hahaha! I thank Ms. Stephanie for her very unique skins. She has really the knowledge of creating hard-to-change codes. Haha! But I did it. :)
I also made my own divider and signature! :)
That is all the about-the-site. Haha. And oh, this is really dedicated to God. :)
