27 Reasons why my life is never dull

As Oprah once quoted “I am a woman in process” I stumble and try to learn from every conflict and experiences I put myself through. Just like everyone else.

1.      I never hesitate. I don’t hesitate hopping with my hands held high like a 5 year old, I don’t hesitate laughing like there’s no tomorrow. I don’t hesitate to make fun of myself and of others. I don’t hesitate to take a leap. I don’t hesitate to take a chance.  I don’t hesitate on doing crazy things. I just don’t .
2.      I follow my instincts even if I know I’m gonna get screwed, just to see the wisdom that manifests from it.
3.      I eat popcorn with m&ms, I eat french fries with ice cream, I like salt and vinegar just as a kid loves chocolates. I like street foods, those dirty ones, then I pray like crazy after I eat them. I hate falling in line.
4.      I allow myself to laugh when something is really funny even if I feel crappy
5.      I like to watch the same movie over and over again. My reason being that its tradition!
6.      I allow myself to be inspired by shallow reasons.
7.      I am like a child who fears a lot of things, yet I live to be fearless
8.      I overanalyze until it haunts me in my dreams. Then I totally forget it without even noticing it the next day
9.      I believe that every single event in life happens in an opportunity to choose love over fear.

10. I appreciate all of God’s creation and the metaphors that conspire with it
11. I want to be in control of things I’ll never get hold of, that’s why I work hard.
12. The opinion that matters to me are only from those I value in my life. The rest, I just don’t care at all
13. I think deep
14. I drive my life like when I’m playing grand theft auto. Restless, Reckless then suddenly Careful. It’s a cycle.
15. I believe that marriage should be about love
16. I never hold back. I just say it, then I wake up wishing that I didn’t
17. I am independent, yet I keep my child likeness because its bliss
18. When challenged, I always take on it, no buts.
19. I like to watch fireflies at night
20. The same way I like to go out and party at night
21. Im not afraid to not make sense at all
22. I like to stare at the stars and wonder
23. I love the value of simplicity
24. Im not afraid to show people I love my affection. Im not afraid to be so endearingly sweet
25. I know what I want in life. But on simple things I find it hard to make up my mind
26. I don’t despise my imperfections, instead I make it a part of what makes me beautiful
27. At night I secretly try to figure it out

Freedom

I struggled to hold on to something that has become a huge part of WHAT I'AM, but I know I have to let go of this to allow myself to become WHAT I MIGHT BE. Change is never easy, WE FIGHT to hold on and WE FIGHT to let go. This is the PARADOX of letting go:  EVERY EXIT IS AN ENTRANCE SOMEWHERE...

I came across this song and it spoke every bit of what my heart wants to say to you..so I will repost as saying goodbye to a long held feeling of love is just not easy...so i'll just send you a

"POSTCARD"

We thought of different ways
To relight the fire
Worked a few times before
Lil' we know
It was only half the battle
It was way more to endure
Agreed to never stop
And go the distance
Love without a heart
That flowing feeling
On an air balloon just
Ain't there between us

The sand in our hourglass has
Fell through for us
We just can't seem to forget this
Forget that touch
Like the sun in the sky
It burns deep when I look in your eyes
I can't face you and say goodbye
It's never easy

So I'll just send you a postcard
By the time you receive it
I bet I'm on your 'hate you' list
Send you a postcard
Hope you can read it
Cuz my teardrops ran and blurred the ink
Send it on a postcard
Give it a shot
My mind is sure
But my heart is not
This is so hard, to be so far
P.S. with a lipstick kiss
Send it on a postcard

So we keep telling each other
It will get better
But I still feel the weight
It's heavy on my brain
Like a thousand tons of
Falling hail, it rained
The miles we went to get
Is up a twister
Now would that get it again
The wind's too strong to hold us any longer
When you told us it's over
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/l/lil_eddie/postcard.html ]
The sand in our hourglass has
Fell through for us
We just can't seem to forget this
Forget that touch
Like the sun in the sky
It burns deep when I look in your eyes
I can't face you and say goodbye
It's never easy

So I'll just send you a postcard
By the time you receive it
I bet I'm on your 'hate you' list
Send it on a postcard
Hope you can read it
Cuz my teardrops ran and blurred the ink
Send it on a postcard
Give it a shot
My mind is sure
But my heart is not
This is so hard, to be so far
P.S. with a lipstick kiss
Send it on a postcard

I want you to know
When the plane took off
I was wishing that I had a parachute
Cuz there was one side of my head
Screaming feelings of regret
Then I saw the truth
We can start over new
You know what comes next
Where we two
We make the same u-turn
That led us both stranded here

So I'll just send you a postcard
By the time you receive it
I bet I'm on your 'hate you' list
Send it on a postcard
Hope you can read it
Cuz my teardrops ran and blurred the ink
Send it on a postcard
Give it a shot
My mind is sure
But my heart is not
This is so hard, to be so far
P.S. with a lipstick kiss
Send it on a postcard

Oh, no no no, I'll
Send it on a postcard
Yes, I know I was kinda wrong
Send it on a postcard
Send it on a postcard
Cuz I couldn't look at you
And tell you it's over

Paradise!



I can't wait to see the breathtaking view of infinity 
where the skies seems to blend with the sea...
I can't wait to feel the fine white sand on my feet...
I can't wait to take a dip into the turquoise cold water...
I can't wait to listen to the waves and feel the fine ocean breeze...

I just can't wait to see a piece of paradise.

Old romances lasts...

Photo by Czarina Samson (a walk in luneta)


Old Manila will always hold a special place in me. It might not be the most glamorous place but it is one of the places I consider most romantic. Every inch of this old city has given me those beautiful memories I will always hold dear in my heart. 


This photo was taken by a friend practicing photography. While I was browsing on her albums, I saw this and immediately felt a pinch in my heart. I never appreciated Manila as I have started to appreciate it now, more than it's historical values, this place is special to me because it was where I spent time with the person I love most. I may never get to experience this again, the couple on the photo is not even us, but the memories of this old place houses the most romantic memory I may ever have (as of the moment) :)

My furry friends

I remember the first time I saw my baby brother...I was asleep when a puppy was crawling inside my blanket...it was stich! He was a surprise given to me by mom, from then on, he was the little brother I've never had! yes he may not be able to talk, he may be a four legged creature, he may have a snout and that annoying tongue! but he gave me priceless happiness...his in heaven now, and I may never be able to find a pet like stich again, but in his lost we were able to create a new family...each and everyone has their own unique personality, and if you look closely, a good friend does not really need to talk back when you throw a fit, or give you advise...it is the presence and the willingness to listen that matters most. These furry creatures have indeed become a part of our family! :)
