Sometimes, silence is the most loudest scream.

Gardenia




Well I put so much thought into getting ready
And now I know that was the best part
It's so easy to get caught up in what I'm regretting
Forget what I got from a wounded heart

I'm the one who likes Gardenia
I'm the one who likes to make love on the floor
I don't wanna hang up the phone yet
It's been good getting to know me more

I've been seeing all my old friends in the city
And walking alone in Central Park
Doing all the things that are neglected
I traded them all in to be in your arms

Well, I hear my own voice sounds so silly
Keep on telling my story all around
Everything I lost seems so different
Well, this is how everybody gets found

I'm the one who likes Gardenia
I'm the one who likes to make love on the floor
And I don't wanna hang up the phone yet
It's been good getting to know me more

We crucify ourselves between two thieves: regret for yesterday and fear of tomorrow.

chy's prayer

If only I can recall all the funny and witty conversation I had with Chy, I could have written it all here... She is an amazing 5-yr old girl, that thinks like an adult sometimes. And tonight, this was her prayer:

---

Thank You Jesus for the gift of Life. I love You Jesus.

(this is her normal/memorized prayer... then followed by her personal/impromptu prayer which kinda goes like this:)

Jesus, please keep the people strong and healthy so that they will not die young... like Mami Jo, Mama and Dada... (hahaha! this made me smile..)

Please keep all people safe in the streets, and everywhere..

Please make it sunny day tomorrow.... but not too sunny so that I will not feel hot... maybe a little windy. (hahahha! demanding ang lola!)

Thank You Jesus.

---

Chy never cease to amaze me! :)

dreaming again.

I am inspired to take pictures. I am probably a shallow person because what drives me to take more photos are the nice comments I got. I don't do it for money (who knows in the future?!?), but out of passion... so it's for free! Naks! Hehehe. Kidding aside, I would really want to buy my dream cam someday... the Nikon D90. But, I'd rather use my budget first on traveling....somewhere cold and somewhere I can try the Amish fireplaces to keep me warm.

Keep on dreaming Joan! It's for free!

early Sunday thought

Because when you are at your lowest you appreciate each person you have in your life. Their simple smiles, their laughs, their simple thoughts of you just means so much each day. And I want to appreciate these people everyday in my life and thank God for giving them to me. They act as my protective clothing every time I am pulled down without them knowing.

And everytime I experienced darkness in my life, I always have this fave quote in my pocket:

“I will love the light for it shows me the way, yet I will endure the darkness because it shows me the stars.” ~ Og Mandino

milestone!

According to blogger, this is my 1001st post! Wow! I've been blogging for 5 years already and I can't believe I was able to maintain this space that long. This blog opened many avenues for me.... from friendships, home based business opportunities, and different experiences that taught me a lot of things. I am imagining I still have this blog when I am grey and old... Hahaha!

Well, to my readers (if naa), thank you. I know you don't agree on everything that I wrote here, but, the respect you showed inspired me to be honest and stay true with everything that I write. :)

there's so much to write...

yet, I remain silent.

It was one crazy sked the whole week, and it was tiring, but fun. I don't really have the energy to write the details, and sometimes, I need a little push to upload pictures. I felt the oldies' excitement the whole week, and I don't need a pulse oximeter to know that. Sometimes, I get envious... coz I want to feel that kind of excitement again.

I wish I could travel somewhere again. Japan. Vietnam. Australia. Any place that is new to me. I really need that travel therapy as of the moment.


I really wish. Someday. :(

on hiatus

There are better days, and not so better... and during those gloomy days, I wish I am just like those steel buildings, standing emotionless yet so strong. Sometimes, I feel like this one wave of negative emotion is trying to swallow me whole, and I have to remind myself over and over again that I am strong and this road I am taking right now is where I should be to reach my destination.

Amidst everything, I am still blessed.

In Repair

Too many shadows in my room
Too many hours in this midnight
Too many corners in my mind
So much to do to set my heart right
Oh it's taking so long i could be wrong, i could be ready
Oh but if i take my heart's advice
I should assume it's still unsteady
I am in repair, i am in repair

Stood on the corner for a while
To wait for the wind to blow down on me
Hoping it takes with it my old ways
And brings some brand new luck upon me
Oh it's taking so long i could be wrong, i could be ready
Oh but if i take my heart's advice
I should assume it's still unsteady
I am in repair, i am in repair

And now i'm walking in a park
All of the birds they dance below me
Maybe when things turn green again
It will be good to say you know me

Oh it's taking so long i could be wrong, i could be ready
Oh but if i take my heart's advice
I should assume it's still unready
Oh i'm never really ready, i'm never really ready
I'm in repair, i'm not together but i'm getting there
I'm in repair, i'm not together but i'm getting there

missing mcdo and jabee

I wish I could just simply write steps on how to lose weight fast, because, honestly, it took me years to atleast lose some pounds, and still I can't quite figure out what were the steps that I took. I think it's with the lifestyle. I used to eat fastfoods and drink sodas, and probably, those were the culprits. Though right now, I miss eating in McDo and Jollibee while writing this. Arrggg.. imagining my favorite batchoy, and my favorite pancake and hot choco. :(

Oh, maybe I can make pancake tomorrow. Hmm. :)

in a happy place!

Had fun at Universal Studio the other day, and I am happy to conquer my fears of some rides. Oh, I love the MUMMY ride and the Jurassic ride (yay, got wet!). Below are some of the snapshots :)



It's nice to go to these kind of places sometimes.. it takes away your problems for awhile :) And btw, a friend is asking if I am taking adipex diet pills since she told me that I now look thinner in my pictures. Weee! Well, the only secret I got is less carbs, tea and take a run/walk. I guess that works for me!

And back to USS, well, it was indeed a fun park and I don't mind going back there someday. It's just that, some part of it is not yet open for the meantime. I don't think that they will surpass Disneyland in HK in terms of land area, but, I really do hope that there's still a lot of attractions coming in USS.

the Show

I'm just a little bit caught in the middle
Life is a maze and love is a riddle
I don't know where to go, can't do it alone
I've tried and I don't know why

Slow it down, make it stop or else my heart is going to pop
'Cause it's too much, yeah it's a lot to be something I'm not
I'm a fool out of love 'cause I just can't get enough

I'm just a little bit caught in the middle
Life is a maze and love is a riddle
I don't know where to go, can't do it alone
I've tried and I don't know why

I'm just a little girl lost in the moment
I'm so scared but I don't show it
I can't figure it out, it's bringing me down
I know I've got to let it go and just enjoy the show

The sun is hot in the sky just like a giant spotlight
The people follow the signs and synchronize in time
It's a joke nobody knows, they've got a ticket to the show

Yeah, I'm just a little bit caught in the middle
Life is a maze and love is a riddle
I don't know where to go, can't do it alone
I've tried and I don't know why

I'm just a little girl lost in the moment
I'm so scared but I don't show it
I can't figure it out, it's bringing me down
I know I've got to let it go and just enjoy the show
Just enjoy the show

I'm just a little bit caught in the middle
Life is a maze and love is a riddle
I don't know where to go, can't do it alone
I've tried and I don't know why

I'm just a little girl lost in the moment
I'm so scared but I don't show it
I can't figure it out, it's bringing me down
I know I've got to let it go and just enjoy the show
Just enjoy the show, just enjoy the show

I want my money back, I want my money back
I want my money back, just enjoy the show
I want my money back, I want my money back
I want my money back, just enjoy the show
