Hi! (“,)

 

 

Me nga pala… Joana Furagganan Tolentino

 

 

You can call me joa… as in pronounced “jowa”.

 

Nakakatawa ung pronounciation ano! Basta, I am called

 

“joa” by my mom since childhood pa ako. And then since

 

my surname is Tolentino, my classmates also call me

 

“Tole”. Ang kulit ano! Anyway, call me joa na nga lang kc,

 

ala nga naming tole ang itawag ņo sakin, e ang sagwang

 

pakinggan d’b! 18 years old na ako ngaun, magnanineteen

 

na sa July 26… (“,)

 

 

Simple lang me… w/ simple family… w/ simpleng bahay… w/

 

simple friends… w/ simpleng school… w/ simple plan… w/

 

simple lyf.

 

 

I love to hear music… & my favorite bands were Simple

 

Plan, Evanescence, The Calling, & Creed… But now, I focus

 

myself to hear the Hillsong-United songs dahil sobrang

 

nabebless ako whenever I hear Christian musics… ung 2

 

latest albums kasi ng Hillsong band is preferably for Young

 

Generation talaga. You will feel the presence of the Lord

 

through Christian musics… & if you want to buy that, the

 

title of that 2 albums were “Look to You” & “More Than

 

Life”… (“,)

 

 

I love also to play volleyball… But my hobbies are making

 

crafts… ung mga gantsilyo, crosstich, tpos ung gagawa ng

 

kung ano’ano out of mga itatapon na… & then mahilig din

 

akong magdrowing. Xaka pag nagpapatugtog ako sa bahay,

 

sinasabayan ko ung kanta, I sing din & I dance also… but

 

not exposed… (“,)

 

 

It is nice naman d’b na my favorite pet is cat. Let me tell

 

you na super dami nang nagdaan sa aking buhay na mga cats.

 

I can’t count na nga sila eh. Super favorite ko talaga sila.

 

When I am stressed, makita ko lang silang naglalaro,

 

natutuwa na ako. & walang araw na hindi ko sila

 

hinnawakan, ever… & madalas they sleep together w/ me…

 

& I always hug them & kiss them.. they’re so spexal… you

 

know why?… I take them a bath kc… & take note…

 

nagpapainit pa ako ng tubig para sa pampaligo nila. O d’b,

 

san ka pa! Na-adopt ko na rin ata the way na umatsing cla.

 

Hehehe… (“,)… & you know what?… paglaki ko, I want to

 

build a house exclusively for cats… I will adopt all the

 

pusakals and give them names… (“,). Nga pala, ung mga cats

 

ko sa house, they were Nanay Muning; Pandong; Puddle;

 

Punggok; & c Kuttungil. At meron pa palang isa, and prodigal

 

cat namin… c Kimpul Ming… pano ba naman laging wala sa

 

bahay…xaka lang xa uuwi kapag iihi xa. Oo… sa bahay pa xa

 

iihi, galling na nga sa labas e, sa bahay ņa pa idadayo ung ihi

 

ņa. Tuloy, itinakwil na xa ni papa, pero naaawa c mama… (“,)

 

 

Maitim ako kung tutuusin, pano ba naman, pinaglihi ako sa

 

sampaloc,… & besides, gusto akong ipa’abort nun ni papa

 

kaya pinainom ņa si mama ng gamot na sobrang itim daw,

 

kaya tuloy, nung lumabas ako,… Charan!… ayun, sobrang itim

 

ko na… (“,)

 

 

My plan for my future?… ewan ko, bahala na si Lord! Pero

 

dati, alam ņo ba… ambixosa ako… may nalalaman pa akong

 

ibang bansa tpos dun ako mag-aasawa. Pero wala man lang

 

sa plano ko ang mag-serve kay Lord. But now, I realize to

 

put my plan 1st to serve God, & then I trust Him na lang

 

whatever His plan for me… Sa ngayon, isa na lang ang gusto

 

kong mangyari sa buhay ko, makapagtrabaho ako &

 

makatulong sa pamilya ko & I continually pray na lang na

 

makapasa ako sa course ko…if it is His will for me…& if

 

not, I will thank the Lord pa rin & I ask Him to guide me na

 

lang wherever I may go for I know that everything that

 

happens has a purpose… & everything I ask Him, my faith is

 

there, & I believe that the Lord has already prepare my

 

future life according to His perfect will and perfect

 

time… (“,).

 

 

At present, & in past, and for my future, subok na ang

 

tatag ng bahay namin. You can locate me nga pala at Blk. 56

 

Lot 4 Kasipagan St. Karangalan Village, Cainta, Rizal. You

 

can easily locate the house where I’m living, basta pag nasa

 

Kasipagan na kau, tignan ņo lang ung mga bahay dun.

 

Ayokong ipaste ung picture ng bahay naming d2 kasi hiya me

 

eh. Basta ivisualize ņo na lang… isipin ņo… bahay na bato, na

 

hindi pa gawa, na parang “bahay ng posporo”… na maraming

 

hanging plants sa labas ng bahay… na parang hunted house

 

kapag gabi kasi madilim. Pag may nakita kaung ganun…, un na

 

un. (“,) but if hindi ņo nakita, you can txt me at my #

 

09214753701… or you can e-mail me at

 

jowzy_26@yahoo.com … (“,)

 

 

Isang pamilya lang kaming naninirahan dun xaka dun nako

 

lumaki kasabay ni papa, ni mama, xaka ni ate… 2 sisters lang

 

kami at ako pa ang bunso. Kaya naman mas spoyld ako kaysa

 

kay ate. Although bunso ako, mas panganay ako tignan at

 

kumilos sa kanya. Kc, mahabang istorya e, and to make the

 

story short, 3 dapat kaming sisters, but the eldest died

 

nung baby pa xa. And then my mom pray “Lord, anong

 

gagawin ko para bumalik sa aking sinapupunan ang anak

 

kong ito?” tpos… si ate na ang sumunod na ipinanganak…

 

tpos, sumunod na ako. When I was born, nalaman ni mama

 

na inanswer ni Lord ung prayer ņa. I was born just mostly

 

and 99.99% same as my eldest sister who died… why we’re

 

most the same? 1st, we were both born in the same date,

 

July 26… 2nd, magkamukha daw kami… and 3rd, magkaugali

 

daw kami nung mga bata pa kami. Kaya naman tuwing July

 

26, birthday ko, palaging may nakikita akong brown na

 

butterfly sa bahay, and feeling ko xa un… (“,)

 

 

I take up my elementary days at Karangalan Elementary

 

School… and ang tanging natatandaan ko dun is everyday,

 

nagbubunot kami ng damo. Tapos in my high school life sa

 

Rizal High School-Manggahan Annex (now, Manggahan High

 

School), so many ang natutunan ko. Magagaling kc ung mga

 

teachers e, & besides, ang higpit ng OIC namin, sobra. Para

 

kaming nasa jail… tuloy, ang tawagan namin sa isa’t isa

 

“cosa”.  Nga pala, I remember also, nung 1st year ako,

 

sumali ako nun sa “Characters on Pageant” as Pocahontas.

 

Actually I am forced para sumali sa contest na un, just for

 

the grade only.

What a job!

AS you can see here... these are the pictures of my favorites...
 
and for further confirmation... see the list of my favorite at the bottom...
 
my favorites describe me of what my personality is...  (",) 

Nga pala, here is the list of my favorite chuva ever… (“,)

 

paborito.jpg

And then…  4th year ako, I got 1st Honorable mention at
 
Rizal High Manggahan.
 
 
Sugangs was my barkada at high school. We call our group
 
“Sugangs” kasi Sugapa kami sa lahat ng oras. Kami lagi ung
 
nauuna… pagdating sa mga kainan, always present kami…
 
pagdating sa uwian, kami pa rin ang nauuna. Kaya nga the
 
word Sug comes from the word Sugapa… & then,
 
binansagan din kaming Angas kasi madalas, ung isa sa mga
 
barkada ko, nang-aaway ng iba ko pang klasmeyt. Tapos,
 
nang-ookray & nang-aasar pa kami ng mga teachers and
 
mga student teachers… maangas baga. Kaya un, we called
 
ourselves “Sugangs” from sugapa + angas…(“,)
 
 
& my college barkadas naman, we are called “Parokya
 
ni Santanina” kasi wala nang maitawag sa amin, xaka ang
 
parang pinuno kasi namin ay si Santanina… Nina… or Ina for
 
short, pano ba naman, xa kasi ung ina naming… kasi xa lagi
 
ung nagagalit kapag nagpapabaya kami sa aming mga
 
responsibilidad sa school. Kaya un, kami ang kanyang mga
 
anak na mga pasaway… masaya clang kasma… (“,)
 
 
& now… here I am… taking up Bachelor of Science in
 
Accountancy at University of the Philippines. At this point
 
of my life, maraming nagbago sa aking buhay. Magmula nang
 
ako’y pumasok sa BSA 2-3, nabago ang mga pananaw ko…
 
(“,)
 
 
You know the story of Jonas in the bible? Feeling ko kasi,
 
nangyari ung story ņa sa buhay ko. I lost my way kasi to
 
the right path of true Christian when I reject the Lord.
 
Ang nagyari kc, iniinvite ako nun na maging Christian
 
Education Teacher sa church namin (Faith Family
 
Fellowship)… & then since shy pa ako nun & mas
 
pinahahalgahan ko ang studies ko kaysa kay Lord,
 
tinataguan ko ang aking mga kachurchmates and I always
 
make allivays  para hindi ako umattend ng mga fellowships
 
and bible studies for the reason na baka ma out of place
 
ako. & you know where I’m going, sa mga concerts ng mga
 
rakista. Nakikipagjamming and nakikipagslamman ako
 
together with the other rockers.
 
 
Talagang pag nakita ņo ako nun, iisipin ņo na mukha akong
 
hindi true Born Again Christian. Kasi you will really see me
 
look like rocker talaga… But that was 1 year ago, during
 
my first year… & then one time, nung kasalukuyang nasa
 
concert ako, nakokonxenxa ako kasi imbes na I go to the
 
Fellowships, Bible Studies, & other Youth gatherings, mas
 
inuuna ko ung mga rock concerts… & at that point in time…
 
I said to myself… “This is the 1st and last time na
 
makikipagjamming ako in a rock concert…”
 
 
From the moment I enter BSA 2-3, I develop additional
 
self-confidence… that’s why from the last month of June
 
2005 up to present, I attend the fellowships, bible studies
 
and the Youth gatherings at the church. And I really really
 
thankful to God dahil nabebless ako whenever I attend
 
that kinds of gatherings… (“,)
 
 
& guess what, ngaung taong 2006, I don’t know what’s
 
God’s purpose in my life… kasi… I’m appointed as the Youth
 
President of our church & you know that kind of a feeling,
 
na ayoko kasi hindi ko kayang ihandle the whole Youth of
 
our church… & besides hindi pa ako handa… (“,)
 
 
But I tell na rin to myself na “Sige, kung ito ang plano &
 
will ni Lord para sakin, cge tatanggapin ko na!…” & then
 
nung 1st months ng January 2006, hindi ko talaga totally
 
accepted na isa na akong Youth President… But nagulat na
 
lang ako… nitong February, I totally accepted to serve the
 
Lord w/ all my life… and w/ all my best,… na whatever
 
mangyari sa studies ko, I will seek 1st the Lord before
 
anything else… (“,)
 
 
 

& now, I just want to grab this opportunity na sabihn sa iņo
 
na it’s a great pleasure… & napakasarap… & napakasayang
 
magserve kay Lord. Alam ņo un, I really really want to
 
serve Him despite the facts na nahihirapan ako & many
 
times I cry because of many pressures in my life… But
 
then I will not give up coz I know that God is my strength
 
& I will trust Him at all times… (“,)
 
 
& all my life, until the last breath I take, I will worship, I
 
will praise my Lord in Spirit & in truth. For I know that my
 
future is upon His hands… (“,)
