The little things...

You wait for me to fall asleep before you leave my side. . . You do the things I like even if it's inconvenient, scary, childish, embarrasing or just plain ODD... You kiss me before you leave whether I'm awake or not . . . You wake up, buy em fresh and cook my favorite foodies, although it's your rest day . . You let me hold your hand in public .. . You take care of me when I'm sick .... . Help me choose my travel gears even if you're not coming with . . . . . You hardly complain . . You buy me chocolates and flowers for no reason . . . You understand my weirdness. For those times that you dont, you try . . You enjoy my penguin dance :) ***for that I'm Lucky*** ******************************************************

Summer Spin-off

A few day ago i went to Coron for the first time... It had been a long anticipated event that I have been looking forward to, add a couple more individuals to the excitement and you get an idea of how we felt as the days wore on... It was two teams merged into one hell of a bonding experience. Savings were forgotten and planners were burnt for these three days of expected Sun and FUN FUN FUN!!! I, myself was excited to achieve the dreamt of tan that i really wanted.. I can wallow away in the beach swimming away my pale pale complexion... I have been reading " The Vampire Lestat" by Anne Rice during this times and it made me realize that my skin can be mistaken for a vampire and not in a good way.. Its not the pinkish glow that one would expect a fair skinned lady to acquire... :( We went to the airport straight from work, after finishing the needed duties in a hurry.. Praying all the while that Manila traffic and the weather would be on our side.. After minor setbacks, we

The Ggrrrrr-ness of Life!

Pride and Anger... They harden the softest hearts into stone!!! . just two simple yet commonly felt emotion that we all release... conscious, unconsious... One way or another we have expressed it..be it hidden or unleashed but like any other "energy", it's very absorbent... . . Once let loose it streamlines into our being.. It affects how we see things, how we handle situations.. It affects US!!! Truth is we enjoy giving birth to our ANGER and our PRIDE This observed, it made me ponder " is it really THAT difficult to hold it in? perhaps it just feels better to share what we have, what we feel.. unaware that it is infectious... it is toxic... it is Sick! -------------------------------------------------------

Holy Weakness

In lieu of the Holy Week, albeit delayed I just wanna post a refreshing take in reliving the journey and suffering of Jesus... Im not the most religious person the world, heck Im sure I dont even make it to the top 20%, yet when I visitied the Bonifacio High St. in The Fort last April 12,2009 I was intrigued with the post and black shirted individuals manning them... At the back of their shirts, it says "Church can be SIMPLE", and there were these posts that one has to follow just like one would in the way of the cross... So after going about the place and dropping by the usual places of interest, curious lil me opted to forego the Walkway.. They have these posts that notes the way and a short facoids about it and there are also acts that the "followers" need to do. Weird thing is, as I continue along the walkway a strange sense of peace and relief came over me..although i didnt intend to go there for prayer or reflection, I contemplated more than I woul

A Dilemma of No-Place-To-Go...

Rest days are here!!! When summer is peaking in the horizon and everybody is sweating profusely from all the humidity and heat, we are tempted, nay forced, to go somewhere to refresh our bodies and our minds from all the stress and heat.. Maybe its also a subconscious green streak for the students that gets to take a brake while we are still slaving away like lab rats... Im one of the many who is envious as well needs a little R and R from all the hustle and bustle of being an adult so i had to come up of something worth wasting my valuable vacation leaves for :) The first place that popped in my head when I decided to have a break was: OFF TO THE BEACH, after all the word itself is a siamese twin of rocking good time and stress freedom!!! Unfortunately for me, the week i chose to leave was THE week, the holy week and I should have outreserved and outplanned all the other vacationers to the resorts. The operative words are SHOULD HAVE because silly me, I never figured that Holy week in
