My Cup of Tea

Yes, and that's literally... Few hours ago, I curled in the plastic mat and slept soundly. Laziness crept in. I love sleeping when there's a heavy downpour hehe! But more than describing the atmosphere of "after the rain", the line also signifies something beyond its literal meaning which has something to do with the emotional mess that has been overcome. Yesterday was slightly appalling but anyway it was just part of life's normal routine and it doesn't matter to me now, I was just disappointed towards something and that's all. Nothing to fuss about :-) It looks like the road trip I kept on contemplating for the past week will no longer possible but it's okay, I have to bend with the circumstances, that's way beyond my control. Maybe some other time when I have money hehehe! I plan to explore the Ilocos Region, Vigan for instance. It's one of my wishes to travel to Vigan or to Camarines Sur (I think these places are in the o

“Happiness is like a butterfly The more you chase it the more it eludes you But if you turn your attention to other things It comes and sits softly in your shoulder” -        Henry David Thoreau Life can be so unpleasant sometimes. Fragmented. Wretched. Contrite. You never know what moment in a day a ghastly feeling would strike. It just bursts somewhere. And for a splitting second, a once rosy disposition suddenly replaced with gloom. I felt extremely disappointed today, really, really bad. The feeling of rejection is all over my system once again.  Why I have to feel this way Lord? I have no reason to complain in the first place, everyone has the right to enjoy, to make decisions, to choose who they want to be with, but why I mope?Why I brood on something beyond my control? The day turned horribly wrong, I don’t know what it is that makes the whole thing totally messy and disappointing. Maybe because of the gloomy weather, maybe because I was turned dow

One of my dearest best friends in life is celebrating her birthday today, August 1, and since I cannot give her a present due to distance (she is currently based in UAE) I'll just post one special entry for her birthday as a gift (it's the thought that counts haha!). To the readers of my blog, let me introduce to you my super generous and truest friend in life, Helen Montero. She's my former colleague in the University, we've been friends since the 1990s and had been sharing sooo many secrets in life, hehe! I'd shared some of the most delicate issues of my existence, happy moments, painful encounters, prospect for the future, plans, everything. She is such an incredible person you know, that someone you've been dreaming to become your friend in life: Generous, deeply religious, reserve, extremely modest, loyal, understanding and thoughtful, yeah that's Helen, no exact amount of words to say how lucky I am to be her friend. She is more like a s

So what are you up to at the moment folks? Me? Soooo many things crowded in my mind...career, emotions, weather, travelling abroad, thinking what job to take, where to live, haaay!Lots, lots of things.... Have you ever been in a situation where you felt like your mind is about to explode trying to figure out what's happening at the moment? One minute you're very confused, the next you felt like floating because of some very inspiring thoughts!Yeah hardly adolescent stuff haha!! Today is just another rainy day in Caloocan hehe!But I don't feel like curling myself inside the blanket, I want to write something, I want to unload this little "splashing" deep inside, or else it will grow into a huge bubble of whatever it is. So while composing words for this entry, I made some blog walking first at Bianca Gonzales (yes, she is a blogger too!) and read a very interesting post...about well, THIS IS LOVE , taken from the ad campaign of Nike.... I've

Haaay!!Here I go again....feeling something I won't suppose to feel, Heyyyy what's that!!!You never learn your lesson girl, but kidding aside, why is it that sometimes we become sooooooo emotionally pathetic and naive and silly and God-knows-what-else? And to some degree we tend to forget the complications that might follow. One of my weaknesses in life is that, I am toooo easily smitten, gosh! I bet nobody knows that, but yeahhh I am really like that, very transparent, very delicate, but one good thing is that I know where to draw a line, I know when to put a red flag sign to stay away from "troubles". I am already emotionally secure and mature so I know how to handle things fairly.  It's too ridiculous to entertain such idea, my God!I don't want to land in a hot water of gossip, I just want to dismiss it as nothing but another story of fascination, I know it will just die a natural death. So I am keeping myself busy now, forget about the little

My online journal is at last flooded with happy entries, cheerful thoughts and beautiful sharing, a different level of excitement sprung from my system lately maybe because I am finally free from torment and feeling of rejection. My self-confidence is fully developed. Back in Davao, I wrote nothing but loneliness, pain, hidden remorse, rejection, humiliation and discontentment. Now, it seems I finally found what I am looking for. Yeah!!I've never been so happy in my life, what a fresh start! You know the feeling when you get so excited and can't help but be thrilled with everything in your environment? Prospect of a new career, meeting new people, creating new associates, building new friendships, anticipation of a great life ahead. Like you're genuinely enthusiastic and so happy because of that "something"? Yaaaay And that something made me to bounce in thrill every now and then haha! What a fantastic existence. So inspired!! But the road to happine

Yummy dessert folks!!! Very thankful to Jerome and Anelyn for treating us to Razon's, a fine food chain along McKinley Hill in Taguig, I was able to try this delectable, oh-so-delicious halo-halo. An ultra different variety of halo-halo: finely crashed ice that looked like almost white sugar granules, very smooth! I must admit, I am not an avid fan of this refreshment because I hate the annoying coarse ice pieces stuffed along with the ingredients, not to mention the different kinds of beans I find very messy in my tongue, but the one at Razon's McKinley was totally different, quite an impression! I love the taste not too sweet nor creamy, just right with no exaggerated ingredients. This halo-halo has no blob of ice cream only leche flan but you've got to love it because of its distinct taste and appearance. For more info, read my review here
