I guess I’ve just gotten myself used to smiling at all the worries and laughing all the creases away from my brows that being happy in spite of all the sadness comes naturally. I’m no optimist, and I try to keep things real as much as I can. I smile because I know frowning won’t help. I laugh instead of cry because I know crying too much will only hurt me even more. I shrug off all the things...

This one very significant thought hit me hard yesterday, while spending my afternoon to evening with one of my exes(who, from this point forward, I will refer to simply as my friend because the term ‘ex’ just isn’t fitting).
Don’t get me wrong, please. This isn’t one of those ever-sappy, somewhat bitter and regretful I-wish-I-never-let-you-go posts. It’s just...

So blessed, I can't contain it. ♥
My bucket list of things to be thankful for is overflowing yet again. Thank you, papa Jesus! :)
Due to exemplary performance, I, together with 19 other colleagues, will be transferred over to supervise in a different site but will still stay under AT&T Uverse. (which means I basically get to keep my job plus more perks, yay!)
I shall have the honor of having lunch with Josh aka...

Drunken words, sober hearts.
I apparently got dead drunk after skipping work last weekend.
Now, before you continue judging me, I’d like to at least explain exactly why we decided to abandon our work stations and head out for what was just supposed to be, a few bottles of beer.
You see, the company had to, to put it nicely, “cut down manpower for several AT&T sites” because, “the manpower hired...
My balls seem to be bigger than my dreams.

Keep on shaking that bottle of emotions and you’ll get hell the moment you screw the lid off. Believe me, pent-up anger and frustration is so much harder to deal with than regular short-lived outbursts.

Maybe in another universe, I deserve you. →
by Gabby Dunn
What if, in another universe, I deserve you?
Hear me out. There’s this philosopher from the 1890s named William James, and he coined this theory about “the multiverse” which suggests that a hypothetical set of multiple universes comprises everything that can possibly exist simultaneously.
Are you following? The entirety of space, time, matter and energy is all happening at once in...

If you’re looking for one of the most self-conscious people on the planet when it comes to looks, you’re reading the right post. God knows how low my self-esteem had always been whenever speaking of beauties and bodies, seeing that I had ever since always been tagged under the brains category and nothing more. Also, gaining weight has always been such an issue for me. No matter how...

Funny how a handpicked number of people have the uncanny ability to make you feel so downright special and one-of-a-kind because of the things they say to and do for you. Then of course, life happens, and you just manage to find out that those words and deeds were tested and proven to be effective before so they were recycled, and you were just one of the names on the list of guinea pigs they were...
“If we can love someone so much, how will we be able to handle it one day when we are separated? And if being separated is a part of life, and you know about separation as well. Is it possible that we can love someone and never be afraid of losing them? At the same time, I was also wondering, is it possible that we can live our entire life without loving anyone at all? That’s my loneliness.” -...

Birth Month Love
In other news, my 9-day stay in Cagayan de Oro was lovely! I might post some photos when the mood strikes me, but right now, I wanna share the things that made me such a happy girl last week:
I spent loads of quality time with my sisters.
I got my hands on my mom’s superb birthday gifts for me.
I managed to introduce ze boyfran to my grandparents from abroad.
I met up with the CDOkada...

To ask or not to ask, that is the question.
I srsly don’t know what it is with people who suddenly start ignoring me for no apparent reason at all. I don’t know whether I should ask what’s up, or I should just shut up and carry on like I don’t give a fuck, or maybe I should act like I haven’t even noticed. But c’mon. I mean, sure I care, otherwise I wouldn’t even have noticed that I was being...

By changing nothing, nothing changes.
Once again, here I am to supposedly go on and on about how everything has been such a whirl, how I’ve had very little no time to update my blog anymore, and how frustrated I am about everything that’s been going on. Good thing I managed to stop myself just in the nick of time.
It’s occurred to me that I’ve endlessly been whining about how little time I have for things in...

“Human eyes are only made to see one version of reality at a time.”
– Neil Gaiman, Anansi Boys (via girlwithoutwings)
Tired and uninspired.
I can’t remember the last time I wanted something so much— the last time I’ve been so passionate about something, I’d be willing to do just about anything and everything just to get and keep it.
Once again, I’m sort of just living my life without any highs, and each day that passes by is just another day in the life of mediocrity. God, there has gotta be more to life...

Kitchen Table Wisdom
For the past months, my interactions with people have been very limited to the “Hi, how are you?” scenarios without any followups, and those are just becoming a tad sad.
As self-depreciating as I can be most of the time, deep down, I just miss having really long talks with people whom I know I can be myself around. I miss having people who care enough about the ‘us’ to not...

I have exactly two weeks before I turn legit, and I’m still stuck at the crossroads. Not that I haven’t come to a decision as to what I want to do with my life yet, but I haven’t exactly budged much from where I was at four months ago, so not much progress here.
Anyway, I’ve been spending most of my free time either just reading this book filled with lotsa short stories...

Keep yourself busy. Diversion is key.
If you wanna stop wasting your time waiting on someone who’s never gonna give you the time of the day, then better start spending it doing something else to take your mind off that person.

As I was shooting in Davao City’s San Pedro Cathedral during the observance of Good Friday, I noticed a Tagalog speaking man instructing this security guard to throw out a half-naked man who is silently kneeling and praying inside the church, saying that the churches in Manila prohibit persons with mental disabilities and vagrants to enter its premises. The security guard then...

Why am I finding 2012 such a fast year? Is it just me and my ever-busy life, or is it really just breezing past us all?
Bugger. At this point, I honestly can’t tell. All I know is that last month was such a time-consuming month that everything just seemed to be so slow and yet so fast at the same time, you know? It’s like, I took everything a day at a time, and now, when I look...

I hear that a lot. And most of the people I know are actually pretty much hypocritical (much like moi). Sure, you can go right ahead and not settle for anything less than what you’re looking for. But what if you end up forgetting what it was you were looking for in the first place? Or what if you can’t find whatever it was that you were looking for? Time changes people. Standards,...

Good thoughts.
I know keeping high expectations about stuff isn’t always a good thing, but it’s still nice to have something beautiful to look forward to, every once in a while, you know? I mean, it may not always end up the way you want it to, and your hopes may just get crushed when the time comes, but hell, all good things eventually have to come to an end, don’t they? I guess that’s...

STUDENTS in state-run universities and colleges now have more reasons to be mad about the budget cuts imposed by the government on education as no Philippine learning institution made it to the list of the top 400 schools in the world. In the World University Rankings for 2011-2012 by the Times Higher Education (THE), not a single Philippine school made it to the top 400 list and the top 100...
