- When my two close friends helped me just to be with them and to join them in our travel and conference in Singapore (One of my happiest and unforgettable travel out of the country).
- Nung hinintay ako matapos kahit late night na, para may kasabay ako pauwi. (Hindi naman ako hinatid sa bahay, sinabayan lang sa sakayan since same way lang naman haha).
- Pinayungan ako habang naglalakad (Sakin ‘yung payong at ako ‘yung unang nag share kasi nakakapaso ang araw at concern lang ako :D, kaso mas matangkad sya at natatamaan ko ‘yung mukha niya kaya kinuha niya na lang ‘yung payong at pinayungan ako haha).
- Noong naalala niya na bawal ako sa coffee kaya may baon siyang Milo noong nag almusal kami pag ka baba namin ng bundok galing overnight with other friends. (nakaka touch lang, enebe hahaha).

37. Ideal date: Stargazing on the mountain with lots of food and relaxing background music. Hiking to see a beautiful sea of clouds view.
38. Why am I still single? Bakit nga ba? hahaha. Because I’m still waiting for God’s perfect timing and sa person na inilaan Niya for me. Maybe hindi pa ako ready or hindi pa ready ‘yung future someone ko kaya wala pa, and hindi ko pa siguro season sa ngayon. There’s always a time for everything and patiently waiting na lang ako sa panahon na iyon. Right time, right person, right place = perfect timing.
39. What is the best gifts I’ve ever received? My Salvation as well as my family & friends.
