Let Love Find You



I've been a romantic ever since I've gotten ahold of a couple of romantic novels when I was still in elementary. The penchant for books have changed in terms of the genre over time, but it was the ones with heart-fluttering themes and ruggedly handsome men clad in nothing but torn pants on the covers that initiated my love for reading. As I grew older and started to learn about the harsh realities of love and being in love, I started to shun away the romanticism that has grown at large all over my being. I began preferring other genre, and John Grisham became my favorite author.

Last week though, I found a highly entertaining and heartbreaking blog online about a girl's travel through the world of love. Although I cannot be totally sure if the said blog chronicles a real life story, I cannot keep myself from being carried away by it and have fun while doing so. In fact, it made me cry a bit. Just a bit.

A Battle With Weight

I've been trying to fight off a couple of pounds here and there. Although I've tried and enjoyed a number of physical activities, I have not been able to maintain them. On the positive side of the story, I have gotten to experience a number of different activities that I do not only enjoy but are also good for the body. Here is my present love.

Shots: My Perspective

I was looking at other blogging accounts while waiting for Mr Drowsy to get to me when I noticed that most of the accounts I get into are actually designed for marketing different products. It was a little disappointing because I was initially hoping to read other people's thoughts and ideas about matters in life. However, the blogs gave me an inspiration on what to post for today.

Although I have not been able to find time to attend any kinds of training at the task, I think I can be a good artist when it comes to the field of photography. If not, I will just continue to do what I've been doing, taking pictures and marveling at what a beauty they end up to be (at least some of them). Here are the ones I'm really proud of :)







And yes, they are about just anything that catches my eyes. And I love the beach ♥♥♥

52nd And Grinning

Guess who..
1. Loves to eat sardines with odong (local noodle)?
2. Tried wearing a watch that does not work?
3. Wears plastic bags over his shoes to make sure they do not end up dirty after a long motorcycle drive to work?
4. Makes the corniest jokes at home?
5. Is the all-around guy?
6. Sings with the choir during mass?
7. Fixes everything for everyone in the house?
8. Has been a really good model for his kids?
9. Always tries to provide everything for the family?
10.Is the hero within our humble abode?



Yay! It's no other than my Dad. He has been one of the greatest pleasures in my life. He has supported me, nurtured me, provided for me, cared for me and loved me dearly since the first few moments of my existence. His patience, hard work and spirit have always been an inspiration for me. On his day, I wish him better health and more reasons to smile (to show that glint of silver inside). Life has not been a piece of cake, but his belief in himself, determination and faith in God has made him strong enough to conquer and win the battles in life.

I love you, Papa!Happy Birthday!
I wish all the best for you today and always.

Things To Look Forward To In 2011

Inspired by a blog I've randomly run across with, I have created my own lists of expectations for the year 2011. Here is the official list.
> Pacquiao will win again (And this time, I should take the risk and place that bet with my dad, who keeps on saying Pacquiao would lose this time around)
> A cousin would get married (or cousins, if my wishes would come true!)
> I would be back to being an employee (With a nice uniform and office to work in *smiles*)
> Facebook will offer more games to entertain my poor soul.
> I will have more time to read.
> The value of the Philippine peso will increase (and so is the price of gas)
> Singapore will be overpopulated.
> A dear friend will find her true love (and not another worthless guy to date)
> I will be visiting my dad's birthplace after so many years of not being able to do so.
> I will kiss Bacolod again, and this time, he will be with me on the trip :)
> Camotes will become a dream come true.
> I will lose weight (even a single pound counts!)

**These are all for now. I will update the list as the year goes on and expectations are born. For now, cheers to the year ahead!!!!

01-01-11

It is the start of another year, and with it comes a lot of things. Since change has been inevitable since the start of time, this is something we are surely going to be facing a lot of as the year starts to unfold before our eyes.

Changes are naturally occurring. They happen because they do, because that is what they are supposed to do. It might seem a little scary for some, exciting for others and simply unknown for the rest, but one thing is for sure, change brings about something different. It might not be as good as we wish it to be or worse than what we might have hoped for, but it is there. The only thing we can do about it is to accept it and move on with it.

Today, I lost something really important to me especially at this most specific time in my life. It is saddening and scary, but I am choosing to take this positively. I choose to be challenged, empowered and inspired to strive and continue with what I have and wish, hope and pray for what I might soon have. After all, windows and doors cannot be completely closed all at the same time when someone is home. It is just natural for one, two or even more to be kept open for that very person inside the house. I have confidence in My Creator and I know He will provide. God is ♥♥♥!
