South Bound.

Finally! I was able to have a weekend getaway!!! It’s a first for this month and hopefully more to come.

It was a 3 day vacation at Maria Paz Resort in San Pedro Laguna, courtesy of my boss (EGP). Actually, our main purpose of going there is to attend the wedding of EGP’s daughter. It was a great opportunity to unwind and at the same time meet the most accommodating people in Laguna.


Here are some of the pics from that trip : 


That's me and my colleague Joyce upon arrival ( I sooo love our outfits esp the shoes :D)





There are lots of beautiful spots for photo shoots and this bridge is one of them.




Then came the wedding day where the food was superb that we have to forget about our diet and munch on the California Maki's and take a little bit of everything for dinner.




Off to church




At the Church...

The Teary Eyed Mom :D


And there goes their Daughter..


Photo boot Pics!


After the wedding we hanged out on our villa and had some beer (well I just ate a big slice of cake while my fellows were drinking :D) Then went back home the day after and bought some pasalubong for our family and friends :)




Buko Pie for everyone!

Breakaway(unfinished article)

modified last September 08, 2011


Dear Diary, 


Forgive me for not visiting you for the past 4 months. So how was I?


I almost made it to my dream job,out of the thousand hopefuls who applied, I was able to get in 
and surpass the crucial process of entering a 5-star international airline but here comes 
the medical exam, to make the long story short, I got nervous while having my ECG.
I almost got there, I was just one step away.
It was heart breaking to read the regret letter,
It's like Tyra Banks is telling me that I wont be able to continue my journey on
becoming the next America's Next Top Model(I feel for those girls)
At a certain point I did consider forgetting this dream,
browsing the pictures of my FA friends makes the moving-on process even harder,
but after some recharging of self-esteem, through prayers and thousands of inspirational quotations,
I decided not to give up and will wait for the right time,but for now, I'll embrace the mightiest job of all.


The Mightiest Job Of All- where in it requires my utmost patience and understanding. But never the less I
love this job.
-----
Consequently, I pigged out due to the stressful days I had, and so I'm starting to deprive myself from eating too much comfort food, for the nth time.
-----
Funny thing is the main reason why I decided to blog again is that I read a friend's blog and her latest article
has something to do with a portion of my past. 


My Past- Just like any other old memories, at times it makes me laugh, smile and little do I get bitter about it.

-----So that's were this draft ends. Intriguing right?haha..

The day I stopped blogging

 March 02, 2012




Dear Diary, 


It has been almost a year since my last article. Thanks to that someone who got me occupied for almost a month, I forgot to maintain my blog site.Anyways, I'm back and hopefully for good. I will try my very best to become a blogger worth subscribing for.lol.... My main purpose  is to share my thoughts and hopefully would inspire others and drive away those negative vibes that I religiously would like to do almost every single day of my life.


And as you can see I transferred here my past articles from the previous blog site that I'm using( cause I'm having some technical difficulties maintaining that one). I have also posted some of my drafts cause I find them sayang and I love recalling those what-in-the-world-am-I-thinking days. Like my blog about failing on my dream airline, yep, you read it right, I'am a flight attendant wannabee... but I will discussed about those adventures of mine on the next coming days.


For now, I wanna whine about my previous dentist who I paid thousands of bucks for my braces but they are partly done; For the Japanese Takoyaki Balls I ate a while ago cause they don't taste the same way I had them before way back college; And for the cute barista who cant stop staring at me whenever he takes my order lols!Just kidding, I'm not having a bad day what so ever, In fact I'm so grateful for today cause it's Friday! This is my problem when I'm feeling "just fine", I really cant write about anything except for I am having a great time right now just relaxing at a coffee shop. This is life! Finding your way out after a long week of work.


Sorry to cut it short but I have to end this for now, cause it's getting pretty late and I need to catch up on my fave telenova :D And I suggest you should do some catching up with my past articles too =)


LIVE.LAUGH .LOVE

When the universe conspires

posted last March 28, 2012

Dear Diary,
I was supposed to continue the sequel of my trying-hard-novel but words just don’t come out right.At some point in time I wanted to leave this site and re-activate my tumbler account.But then as I was discerning what really my main purpose for blogging is, I recalled how I came up with my title “Dear Diary”.Probably because I want to read what I write, I want to browse my past inputs and I find it very interesting and sometimes hilarious as to what on earth was I thinking way back?
—-
Love Life. My favorite topic ever since I had my first diary.And as much I want to share to you all what my heart feels right now I guess I’ll keep that as a mystery (virtually).It’s a self supporting heart as of this writing anyways so there’s nothing to share about.lol
Call me crazy but I’m really a hopeless romantic individual who believes in fairy tales and happy endings.Way back when I was still studying I was really fond of composing poems and endless daydreaming love stories.Romantic-comedy movies are always my thing.Watching fireworks. Candlelight dinner. Sunset by the beach.
I fell in and out of love twice and so my perception about this whole thing varied.
It’s something that you cannot tell your heart to feel or not to feel.It’s the spark, the magic and the butterflies in your stomach.It’s finding yourself smiling at the end of the day because you know you had fun, you where happy and you  had a good time with that person even if you just shared a small amount of time together.
At some point in time you would always need that someone to turn on to, someone who will never get tired listening to your stories, your confidant with your thousand thoughts and feelings.
But of course heart aches and heartbreaks are part of the package, and we cannot change that fact.Spells and potions won’t help as much as we want to; we just have to practice the art of acceptance.It’s reality that we cannot force to alter, because no matter how much we want something so badly,if it was not meant to last and worst not really bound to happen, it will never be. Never let yourself be blinded by the things that aren’t real. For you might end up losing all your emotional investments and worst loosing yourself. BUT! It’s not the end of the world; all of this life’s imperfection makes us stronger and wiser.  After all it’s going to be a one boring story if it doesn’t have any conflicts in it right?
Few nights ago, I remember dreaming about shooting stars, and what’s funny is I kept on wishing for the same thing, to finally be with that someone.
But you know what?  I think that the more we rush, the more things will slow down. It’s just a matter of changing your perspective to a positive one where you can find true happiness.
True love is out there waiting for you, just waiting for the perfect time for you.
The person you’ve been wishing, hoping and praying for will come into your life the least you expect it.
“And, when you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.”

Leap of Faith

posted last March 08, 2011

Dear Diary,
It has been an emotional ride for me for the past few days. At some point I think I was somehow out of my league that I couldn’t even remember where I left my phone or where I’m heading to. I couldn’t even tell if I’m sad or just feeling nothing at all. But when I remember the words of encouragement that my friends and family keeps on telling me, it never fail to inspire and cheer me up.
Happiness has always been a matter of choice. No matter how depressing the situation is, you got to find something good out of it, cause trust me, there is. There’s always one good piece of clothing in a bunch of “ukay-ukay” stuffs. It’s not an easy task but its worth giving a try. No one can pull your self-esteem up, no one but you. If you keep on negating things, you’ll end up losing the battle. The more you try to find out what went wrong the more opportunities you miss, as one my favorite song of Stacey Orrico goes:
“There’s gotta be more to life…
Than chasing down every temporary high to satisfy me
Cause the more that I’m…
tripping’ out thinking’ there must be more to life
Well it’s life, but I’m sure… There’s gotta be more”
All of this things might sound a bit of a cliché but this is probably the secret of having a stress free life, where waking up every morning will always be exciting and you always have something to look forward to every single day.
Smile and everything will follow.

I cannot even write about it

posted last February 25, 2011

Dear Diary,
I was trying on a dress that unfortunately doesn’t fit me, so got scolded and was told that I have been eating too much. It breaks my heart hearing this, for I haven’t been eating rice and dinner for the past 2 weeks. I have been depriving myself with fatty foods yet it still doesn’t show. Reality bites.
I love fashion and I do understand the fact that in this industry being a size 0 is a must, but in reality, in the world of a normal person, physical appearance would be the last thing someone would consider when looking for the right one.
Few nights ago, me and some of my guy friends where talking about the so-called standards when it comes to searching for a prospect partner.  And I was not surprised when they both answered “Inner Beauty”. Inner beauty where you don’t have to look anorexic just to be considered sexy, at your simplest form without make up, and with your PJ’s on that was bought at a mall sale.
And for someone to see that in you is a great help in redeeming self-esteem.
So whether or not I’ll have one piece of clothing that will fit me tomorrow I’m still glad I was given a chance to be part of a new designers launch.
—–
What will you do if you’re praying for something then it arrived seconds after you uttered your prayers? Amazing! I knew it !faith keeps me moving.
This kind of simple wishes coming true is one of my basic reason for waking up smiling every morning.
When you do finally get what you want, the problem is there’s always someone that’s trying to take it away. And all that wanting makes us blind to the fact that things aren’t exactly what we think they are. Maybe it’s better sometimes to just get what you need. XOXO —Gossip Girl.”
