Gifts for the 17-Year-Old

written on Friday, September 21, 2012 @ 9:55 PM ✈

I was so lucky to have the most generous friends. Even when I'm faraway, they still have the initiative to give me these wonderful gifts. Hehehe. Naiiyak na ako!! Huhuhu.

The desk personnel gave me these when I arrived from school last Thursday. Yipeeeeee!!

Zena has always given me gifts ever since we've met. She has given me books, bracelets and bookmarks that she doodled herself.

Really Zen?! Fat on my face?!?!!

The Go's also had their share. They got me something from Topshop for which they said "my favorite store". Hehehe. Love yaaaa, Tita Jane! :)

Books and a souvenir journal from bestie Annika!! ^^ Such a lovely gurl.

Of course, I wouldn't miss giving myself something too. It was my first time to shop online! Thanks Zalora!! :)

It's all about who we are..for real

Hey!I'm Roseanne Erika A. Loquellano. My friends call me Erika, but when I reached college, some of my new-found friends call me Rosiee or Chichi. And it's weird hearing that.

I've been living in this crazy for 17 years now. My journey has always been and will always be a bumpy one. I've been through the loudest laughter and the saddest tears but still here I am today, standing still, proud and happy to who I really am.

I have an amazing family. My dad, Ronnie, has been working overseas since I was three. God knows how much I miss him every single day that he's not around. He still calls my mom 'Love' and it's so thoughtful of him for doing that. My mom, Evelyn, is a public elementary teacher. She was my Filipino teacher when I was in the 6th grade too. She's a bit loud I tell you, but deep inside, she's really sweet, funny and of course loving. I have two ridiculous older brothers. Rodney, the eldest, dreams of becoming a pilot but still hasn't find enough financial support for his training, which leads him to apply for a job in a ship company. Michael, my older brother, is on his last year in college already. So we'll be expecting a fully-payed nurse maybe 2 years from now after his board exams and additional experiences. I, being the youngest of the siblings, am on my first year in Biology, because I hoped to become a doctor some day.

Being a doctor isn't just my only dream by the way. I had hoped of becoming an actress ever since I was a child. The limelight has always been the source of my inspiration every time I declaim, which eventually make me look like I am natural. Well, my mother was an actress anyway. In her college years, she was an athlete, musician, declaimer and a dancer, no wonder how I got my ever awesome chromosomes. Ahihihi. I wanna explore the center stage, and I wanna know what it feels like to win an Oscar and have a sold-out concert. But yeah, I have to stick to college first. My mom says, no matter what age you'll reach dream, it's still fulfilling `cause you know you have accomplished something really important to you.

I always remind myself to stay inspired. Because it is only through inspiration that we are motivated to move and be different. This still ain't my moment to shine (bright like diamonds and make tons of money, hihi), but somehow someday when my moment comes, I will be a champion. :) Stay inspired!
