i need to focus!
waiting for you at the Main Street...it's been days already since I got back from my vacation, but, can't get myself focus on my work yet. I've been slacking for days, though spending time at home this weekend made me relax a bit, and made me work a bit. I spent most of my time browsing and hopping from one site to another, checking flights, thinking of my next stop, checking hotels and resorts, and even checking San Diego CA hotel though going to the US will not gonna happen soon.
I am restless. And I need to slow down. Focus. Work. I am looking forward to my downtime this holy week... just stay at home, watch movies, work a little, get lazy, and of course, have time for reflection. Though our home is not good for vacation at this moment because there's a construction going on.
Gotta go! I am going to visit my sick Uncle...

hopelessly devoted to you.I've been so dependent with you these past years... my life revolved around you. I can't even bare a day not being with you. You've been so helpful and supportive to my endeavors. Sometimes, I feel like you are already tired, but, still you keep me company until I call it a day.
I hate to admit it, but I can't live without you, my dear laptop. :)
Maybe someday, I'll have another you.... a Sony Vaio or a Mac perhaps? (the thought of it excites me!) But, for the meantime, I am contented. And happy with you. :)
Haayy.. am hungry. I want to eat Batchoy.
Tata!

i heart HK
the travel was perfect. the budget, the time, the place... everything was smooth, thanks God!the budget ...
nope we did not spent that much for the travel. shopping is not our purpose in going there, so, we did not bother entering the malls and checking the high end products. but, if you are into Gucci, Hermes, LV ... HK is for you. :)
the time ...
with only 4 days, we are able to visit all the places that we plan to see... and even had a day tour to Macau. And the price? Perte ka sakit sa among mga tiil! We even consumed a bottle of omega pain killer! But, it was all worth it. :)
The place...
The weather is perfect. My kind of weather really. People there are usually wearing coat and boots, while I am on my sleeveless and shorts. hahaha!! Transportation is not a problem either. Taxi is not an option for us since it's so expensive, but they have MTR and buses with automotive lifts that are even more convenient. As long as you know how to read maps, it's not much of a problem to go to one place to another.
I want to go back there... and maybe this time, for a shopping spree. Mangarap ka! Hahahaah!

back to businessI was out of touch for 5 days, and it feels like I was already out for a month already. Currently, I am having this body pains, I am swamped with so many things, and I am broke. But, all in all, it is all worth it. :)
The experience I had these past days was both fun and is a learning experience. The adventure is priceless. Now, all I need to do is get my energy back, and face my responsibilities. If the horses need horse supplements, I need my daily dose of vitamins...
Back to normalcy.

thoughts
- sometimes i get the feeling of dropping everything and live life as carefree as I can... worry-free, stress-free and pain-free.
- i whine a lot and fret with the random things that disappoints me. i have many "why's" and even give bias conclusions on a situation which at the end, hurts me.
- i am far from being ms. perfect, but, i asked perfections on some situations... and became selfish. and at the end, i feel bad about myself.
- i am inspired to take beautiful photos again. thanks to Ate Yen (and her friends). i love to do street photography, but, Cebu is kinda dangerous... I would have wanted to take pictures of street kids, newly built steel buildings, and some random things.

a reminder...Whenever I get sad, I just count my blessings and remind myself how lucky I am. Life is not fair... and I think, that makes it interesting and beautiful. It gives us the opportunity to help, to make someone happy, and that gives us a sense of purpose in return. Amazing isn't it? Though I admit it's kinda difficult to focus on the bright side of life especially when you are in pain, in anger, and too engrossed with the negative energy. Just don't forget the secret: count your blessings. :)
Just my two-cents ;)

my birthday is still 4 months away, but, I am excited already. God bless my plans. :) I will reveal it here once finalized. Thanks to those who express their support already. I am happy. :)

I saw this pearl necklace while window shopping. Just perfect for my earrings. I'll add this in my wish list. Ahihi. :)

Life is beautiful. :)

look!
I heart my new Pink watch courtesy of Bontic. Thanks B! I super love it! Instead of giving us sports gifts, she gave us this kikay stuff instead. Pugong sa edad! Hahahaha!! And the master mind? Cating! hahaha! Our get together is a sort of celebration for the successful operation Bontic went through, (Thanks God!) and of course, a celebration of friendship. ;)
thanks for the quality time gurls. sa uulitin!

and i quoteI’m going to smile and make you think I’m happy,
I’m going to laugh, so you don’t see me cry,
I’m going to let you go in style,
And even if it kills me - I’m going to smile

My landlord informed us that he will get the cable TV connection since he will use the connection for his new house. He offered it to us for free by the way... the perks for being the "pinaka buotan" nga boarders. After years of having a cable TV, I think I have to prepare myself for this. Goodbye MYX-National Geographic-Velvet-HBO-MTV-Star Movies and a whole lot more.
But, the bad news did not stop there. Remember that I keep on complaining that I want an aircon? That will remain a dream for me unless I'll move out. My landlord will not allow us to install an aircon because "dili daw kadaug ang kuryente". So, from my friends' suggestions, an air cooler will do, with less energy consumption. So, being the "pinaka buotan" nga boarder, I asked him if it's ok to have an aircooler. But, the answer is still the same.
All signs point to MOVE OUT, MOVE ON. Now, my biggest problem is where can I find a decent apartment that is within my budget in this city? My current pad is the best place in terms of accessibility... but, is it worth it? Haay. :(

RIP, Francis M!I am saddened by the news, he was so young and full of life. I am a follower of his blog and he always have updates while he was doing the therapy. I know he is now happy with our Creator... Rest in peace, Francis M!
So many faces, so many races
Different voices, different choices
Some are mad, while others laugh
Some live alone with no better half
Others grieve while others curse
And others mourn behind a big black hearse
Some are pure and some half-bred
Some are sober and some are wasted
Some are rich because of fate and
Some are poor with no food on their plate
Some stand out while others blend
Some are fat and stout while some are thin
Some are friends and some are foes
Some have some while some have most
Every color and every hue
Is represented by me and you
Take a slide in the slope
Take a look in the kaleidoscope
Spinnin' round, make it twirl
In this kaleidoscope world
Some are great and some are few
Others lie while some tell the truth
Some say poems and some do sing
Others sing through their guitar strings
Some know it all while some act dumb
Let the bassline strum to the bang of the drum
Some can swim while some will sink
And some will find their minds and think
Others walk while others run
You can't talk peace and have a gun
Some are hurt and start to cry
Don't ask me how don't ask me why
Some are friends and some are foes
Some have some while some have most
Every color and every hue
Is represented by me and you
Take a slide in the slope
Take a look in the kaleidoscope
Spinnin' round, make it twirl
In this kaleidoscope world
Different voices, different choices
Some are mad, while others laugh
Some live alone with no better half
Others grieve while others curse
And others mourn behind a big black hearse
Some are pure and some half-bred
Some are sober and some are wasted

Some are poor with no food on their plate
Some stand out while others blend
Some are fat and stout while some are thin

too much thinkingCrazy thoughts occur to me a lot of times. Sometimes, I have this feeling of wanting to skydive right there and then. And sometimes, I get excited on a certain idea that I will keep talking about it, until, someone would say negative, and certainly it will be the end of the idea. I get disappointed easily, though normally, I don't show it. Sometimes, I need a little push and a little faith for me to do something. And since it's a crazy idea, most of the times, I am happy someone did not push me, and I did not have that enough faith.
So, what's my point? Nothing really. I just need distractions with what I am doing, so I am blogging. Too much thinking does no good to me. It will come to a point that it will hurt me, or it will give me unnecessary worries.
I want to shop. But, I don't want to use my CC anymore. :(
I want to eat. But, I don't want to gain weight. :(
Talking about self-control!

summer is here!I want to be excited about it, but i hate the heat! for the nth time, i need an aircon. :(
Hope to have a beach escapade sometime April-May with friends. Bora? El Nido? I don't really care as long as I am in good company.
The month of May will be a month of Fiesta in Bohol. I am expecting expenses as early as now... like discount lighting fixtures , and any home improvement. And did I forget that aircon and my travel plans require money too? Syeet, mika nalang jud ang show ani if walay budget. :(
Maybe I can try a halo-halo business for extra income. Hahaha!
I can't say everything that I want to say,
but you know what's inside my heart.
Teach me to trust YOU always.
AMEN.

the travelerI don't want to get old without seeing the world. Atleast, I am starting to visit the nearby countries already. I am always amaze to see different cultures and of course beautiful places from the other side of the world. And I am glad I have friends who love to travel too. :) In fact, one of my friends is now getting ready for her US tour. Sosyal! :D
I would love to travel to US someday too, though my ultimate dream is Europe. If only fare would not cost that much, I think it will be atleast affordable especially that I have lots of relatives there. Even the Branson vacation packages are fairly affordable. You can avail their platinum package with a 3days/2nights at Grand Oaks and tickets to Grand Jubillee and a lot more freebies for only 450USD/couple. They also have different shows that you can choose from and many more attractions available. Well, you can just browse their site if you need more info. :)
So, let's conquer the world, fwends! ehehe.
