A ditched entry post from Sept. 8, '11 Haha!

When I'm feeling sad and blue, when I'm happy and gay

when I'm unsure and don't know what to do, I write to you and say.

When I missed you so, yet I couldn't be with you, 

I empty my mind and fill my heart with words;
And put all my thoughts in writings just so you knew.

Perhaps then you would know how I truly feel.

So now If I dare you to write me a letter, my dear, 

would you also let me know how you really feel?

3 John 13-14 say: "I have much to write you, but I do not want to do so with pen and ink. I hope to see you soon, and we will talk face to face." 

Gone So-Low

Again, it's that time of the year when you want to escape and just get away from reality -  pack your bags, book a flight and go somewhere you've never been to, meet new people, do crazy or rather silly things and go back home anew (hopefully). In short, time to go on a soul-searching trip - alone. Yes, flew solo this time as I wrapped up my year 2012! But honestly, it wasn't the kind of trip I planned and expected. Why? read along and you'll taste my bitter sweet sentiments. 

The entire universe knows I don't very much enjoy waiting; it irritates me. But this trip turned out to be just like a 4-day trip of waiting which really tried my patience! I put the blame on the typhoon Quinta for my (hoursss of) delayed flight's' which had my 3 days of vacation gone down the drain. Sigh. And it's for the first time in my humble travel history that I didn't take much pictures - of my self and the place - to add to my collection. But then again, Hija still managed to enjoy this special vacation. Somehow. 

With pride, friends, I present to you one of the world's top travel destinations, our very own - BORACAY! 

Yep. That's all I told you so. I did nothing but walk along the entire shore sides (Stations 1-3), shook things off my head, ate out, watched tv, and tried to enjoy myself and this place to some extent. Thanks to a dear friend of mine who somehow managed to share some time with me and kept me company despite a busy, busy schedule. Thank you, my dear. :)

P.S.

If there's one thing I regret about going to this beautiful paradise that is going there-solo. It could have been even much better if you had someone who's proud to simply be with you and takes pride in holding your hand as you both walk along the 4 kilometer shores of this Island. Someone who has time (or at least make time) to 'see' you  more despite the undeniable beauty of this serene place or any other things for that matter. Perhaps then the walk would have been even more worth while and special. Perhaps.

But so far, I have no intentions of going back to this place again...solo. Promised my self that if ever I come back here, I'll be with someone who will make me feel so special rather than so-low. Again, perhaps...:)

Adieu 2012...Hello 2013!:)

Waiting in Vain

          Around 15:00 at a terminal, rain continuously pouring, there I was waiting for a bus heading home, wandering. Several buses with available seats were parked, tempting me to take a ride on. But I wanted "the one" I've been used to riding; the one I've been comfortable with, and the one I think was the 'perfect bus' for me to take. No, my "bus" wasn't there yet.

          I wasn't in a hurry, though, I told myself. So I waited for my "the one" to come instead. Time was on my side anyway, and so I thought.

          Minutes passed along with some random thoughts of you and about life and love running in my restless, restless, weary mind. Buses came and went, but still no 'the one" for me arrived just yet. But then again I waited.

          I waited and patiently waited....

          But precious Time is ticking away and can hardly seem to stay. It's getting late! Should I leave now or should I still wait? Will you still come, my one, or will I just take what's in store here and now?

          Whichever choice I make, in the end only two questions remain: "Will I regret for leaving soon or will I regret for waiting long?"
.

...Alas! The long wait is over; my bus has finally arrived! But to my dismay...it has no more room enough for me to stay. -_-

I Miss Thee

My dear Hija,

I miss you....

TGIS

Yay it's TGIS! Yes, TGIS 'cuz these pics were taken last Saturday guys. I just wasn't able to upload them right away 'cuz I got home pretty late that night. I had a wonderful day last Saturday, by the way.
TGIS #1: 'Twas the last day for this trisem and I think I did a really good job with my demos /final exam on my one-and-only subject for this trisem. Can I have a high five for that? hehe But I still have two more remaining subjects before I get to have my one final stretch. Fighting, Hija!^o^v
TGIS #2: A Saturday date with my bunch of friends at Marquee mall. (and expect foods, shopping and more foods along with that ;) ) Photos will be added here once my friend has finally uploaded them. (wish hard..heh)

 

 

 

  

Special thanks by the way to my dear beautiful classmate, Lory Pangan for these shots. Isn't she pretty??:)

Outfit Breakdown:

Top: NY Square / Pants: Thrifted / Shoes: Parisian

Sorbet

If you were with me last Sunday, you would know that, yes, this is what I was wearing on that day, except for some small details like the shoes and that blue bracelet around my left arm. I didn't intend to post this outfit but I decided to do so for some reason, though. Some of you might have noticed that my silhouette look would be a black&white, if not muted colors, simply because I don't really enjoy getting unwanted attention from other people for what I wear. I dress up according to my mood and 'coz I want to feel good about myself, not for any other reasons like stealing   attention. So if you guys see me donning myself in some colorful outfits this year, that's because I want some change, and I'm starting with my outfits. At least.

Blow that candle!

I told myself I would stop counting my age when I turn 23. But years just keep on going and I can't seem to keep up with time. Yesterday felt like I was only 18 and now...now I am...getting more...mature? yeah right~~hehe But gratitude is all I have for those years of my imperfect yet blessed life. Thanks to my supportive family, loving friends and thanks to You. (you know who you are, right?):) I feel blessed indeed 'coz of you guys. :)

You might wonder how I spent my day.  Well it was just simple, yet I was joyful. I spent the whole day at home, lazing around and a morning surprise, which made my day mind you, swept me off my feet. Blush, blush.Then went to church with my dear friend, Jeni, for a Sunday service and had a nice dinner out at Terrase Cafe with my Aunt and Uncle. (my family wasn't home that time so I couldn't spend time with them on my day, but it's ok. Maybe we'll have another time next week. Hopefully) Was I just explaining there? hehe Anyway, here are some of the pics taken on my b' day. (forgot to bring my camera. How could I, right?!)

So here are wishes #14&15 granted, a bouquet of flowers, which swept me off my whoa feet. I was wishing for a bunch of tulips, but seeing those lovely star gazers, yellow lilies, carnation and others (who cares what their names are) trying their best to make this bouquet look just perfect ...well, what else could i ask for. :)

So...happy birthday to me!^^
