Happy Birthday Kim!

Dearest Kim,

            Happy Birthday to you my classmate, my friend and my textmate…hahahahaha I would also like to take hold of this opportunity to thank you for all the goodness you bring into my life. For making my life superb regardless of the many burden and pressure we’re encountering in ChE.  There were enumerable events in my life that you remained so close to me – you comforted me and helped me in coping up with everything. Please, allow me to share some of this.

…you were there

            When I had my first crying moment over NSTP midterm grade (I got a D grade because of our leader’s lame excuses & the rest is history). You accompanied me to the office and you helped me in defending the grade that is supposed to be mine. Though we’re group mates, I wasn’t expecting you to help me because we’re not that super close and at that time you were an accountancy student. Also, I was once intimidated with students from XUHS (now you know). But hey darling, you proved me wrong and you are definitely an exemption Kim. Because of what happened, I realized that I should not cry over NSTP *ulaw ko!hahahahahaha cry2x pa jud wla man diay labot sa QPI*. On the serious note, I realized that you are so friendly pala.

…you were there

            When the sole of my shoe was removed somewhere in Eng’g 2^nd floor. You were the first person I approached and said “Kim, tabangi ko ang tikod sa akong shoe napulas” and without any hesitation you accompanied me to the CR and you said “Gabie naman Jec, dili man maklaro, ayaw lang pahalata”. I was relieved when you told me that though dili jud balance akong paglakaw. Another was, when the heel of my shoe kay gisangit sa katong tabon sa canal2x sa canteen and only to find out na pagstep nako nabilin ang isa ka pares sa akong shoe. I was not embarrassed even if I know people may laugh at me. But instead I ended up laughing because you’re laughing at me too. *no harm.

*sa imo ra jud ko dili maulaw mag – ingun sa mga in.aneh na things kay maski kabalo ko na imu kung kanchawan at least imu ko gatabangan. Kay laaabbb lageh*

…you were there

            When I was broken! I was crying a lot. I was betrayed. I lower down my pride. I forgive but I can’t forget (maybe because the pain is still there and it was hurting me so much). You might forget this but the remembrance of being with you during that trying moment is worth remembering. You stayed with me and you were again the person who helped me in resolving the problem.  I prayed and you prayed me too. Thank you once again kim.

…you were there

            Even though you were disappointed with me because I can’t join some of the JAMC’s events. You always took the effort (I guess some people also do it for me) to invite me and I highly appreciated it because I always feel special.*kilig*. Promise, I felt guilty about it kay mahay – mahay daun ka sa akoa…hahahaha and telling me this line “Jecca, wala lageh ka giadto(*insert your mahay face)?” to the nth time. I am sorry for letting you feel that way. However, I thank you (and the rest of the JAMC) for the great accommodation. I always feel welcomed in joining the Life meeting and the prayer meeting.  You’ve found friends in JAMC and I thank you because you let me know them and became my friends too. I believe that JAMC will take good care of you as much as you take good care of them.  Also, I thank you that for sometimes we shared thoughts about everything in life. Okay Kim, I will GUARD MY HEART! I WILL NOT BE HURRY! Chos…hahahahaha I really don’t know why you’re telling me this (coz you know already my top priorities) but I consider it as a great reminder for myself and for some people who may not know about it.

Baby Kim!

IKAW NA

            Ang tao na mangita ug tag – 5 pesos na snacks (inc. drinks? Kung pwede pa lang). Hey, where on this earth we could find a busog snacks worth 5 pesos? Tagaan ta nalang ka ug 2/3 php para makabuy ta ug saging near metrobank…hahahahaha *bahalag saging basta kay labing* trololol! Ayaw pag – inot oie basta pagkaon…

            Ang tao na grave kung malate…*sorry kim*. Believe ko sa imung confidence level kung malate…You always have the guts to enter the classroom. J No Guts! No Glory! Nyahahahahaha

            Ang tao na nay instik eyes. Hahahahaha. This causes other people to bully you. Like they’re telling you always na “Cgeh lang ug katulog; Ayaw’g katulog Kim “. Mind you, your eyes are so nice and cute to be mistaken. * I am a liar* hahaahahaha Just kidding aside J

Ikaw na! Ikaw na KIMBERLY ANN A. MA! Happy 21^st Birthday. I wish you nothing but only the best in everything. I wish you good health, guidance and strength from Above.

I thank God upon every remembrance of you J Have a good one and God bless your birthday

Kay LaAb lageh,

Jecca Beyd

Therefore, I am NOT ELIZABETH

When I started blogging, I thought of writing on the subject of the origin of my beautiful name (of course). But I had complexity on composing the entry since I cannot find any pleasant title for the blog. If you can only check my draft box, you’ll find there a “did you know what?” – a fleeting title and I guess parang trivia lang ang dating…’di ko type.

“Hello World, Hello Philippines” my name is 

LORAINE JECCA.

However, when I started my on – the – job – training (OJT), one of my superior incidentally spoke the name Elizabeth when his co – worker asked my name. I didn’t know where on the four corners of the laboratory he got it (even himself cannot figure it out where he got!LOL!). Actually, it sounds so side – splitting every time they call me “Beth or Elizabeth”.  Perhaps because in reality, the name is so sacred…so biblical! And calling me Elizabeth is an understatement.

The happening gave me motivation to continue the blog I have started three months ago. I just want to share something about the source of my given name.  In school, few of my classmates knew it and only those who really questioned me where did my dear parents have my name. Oooppps! I remember one event in my life – THE RETREAT where I gain so much coolness to share the meaning or the origin of my given name. Thank you to the facilitator who initiated the activity.

HERE’S THE CATCH!

My dearly loved Nanay is the only person (I knew in the family) who could unquestionably answer if anyone asks regarding my given name. Out of curiosity, I asked her the meaning of my name way back high school but she conferred me the origin 

For the reason that, I was named after my pretty lola LORENZA ZAMAYLA – TAKIANG (as we fondly call her Lola Inday). My pretty Lola is definitely pretty…hahahahaha J . Many said that my sister Limya looks like my lola that is why she is also given a petname Inday. But (I think) I was the luckiest female grandchild to be named after her. My name was supposed to be LAURENCE according to nanay but someone helped her realized that it is a boy’s name. So it was change to LORAINE meaning --------------

Lorraine \l(o)-rrai-ne\ as a girl's name is pronounced lor-AYN. It is of French origin, and the meaning of Lorraine is "from Lorraine". Name of the province in France (where Joan of Arccame from) and a family name of French royalty. Also an elaboration of Lora, or possibly derived from Laura (Latin) "laurel". See also Lorena. Actress Laraine Newman.Lorraine has 13 variant forms: Laraine, Larayne, Laurraine, Leraine, Lerayne, Lorain, Loraina,Loraine, Lorayne, Lori, Lorine, Lorraina and Lorrayne.

*I took the effort of finding the meaning of this name.Super Thanks to  thinkbabynames.

my grandparents...this is the only picture I have <3

The name Jecca is not visible on English (US) dictionary that is why when I type my second given name on MS – Word program it seems to be wrong – spelled. Thus, the name Jecca has no equivalent meaning. How sad L but knowing its origin is a bliss. Do you know JOKO DIAZ click here? What connects? Well, I was also named after him because according to my nanay he was so sikat when I was born. Really? Hahahahaha J. So I conclude, JECCA is an invented name. Logically, JOKO is for male and JECCA is for female. So kung ipinanganak akong lalaki siguro my name is LAURENCE JOKO!Incredible!nyahahaha just for laughs! J 

I am LORAINE JECCA…not

Lorraine Jecca

Loraine Jeca

Jecca Loraine

Jecca Lorraine

This is a big memento (to all the people) most especially to my classmates who always commit the same mistake of spelling my name.* As much as I wanted to named names I rather keep it to myself in order to protect the reputation of my dearest friends…you know who you are Jhmmmm!hahahahha choz

Therefore, I am not Elizabeth.
