Beaded Words

Image
Today, I decided to stop overthinking and blog. Definitely a good idea.  These days, I like talking random pictures of my day. So, cheers to photo dump blog posting. I guess I am doing that from now on. :) My pictures, my words. More me, eh? You might take my hand for a Christmas tree branch. Haha. Well, I just wanted to wear the floral ring and the pink rosary beaded bracelet for today plus an April rosary bracelet given my mother (but a chain went loose. Boohoo.). But, I finally got my present , which I talked about in a previous post, from a little girl, A. Aren't these accessories lovely? It's a purple-and-white bracelet and a blue-and-pink ring. I wore them the whole day even if I have to take them off when I brushed my teeth after I ate lunch. I was really happy when Ate S told me that A wanted to give me something. Imagine my smile when I got it na.  And this is the cutesy, pretty little girl, A. See what she was wearing on her right arm a...

Because elephants can't jump.

How you all doing? I have been out for a couple of days. I was kind of slacking. A lot of things buzzed through my mind, yet again. Uninspired. Yes, that's exactly the word that can describe what I am feeling. And I have to fight it off. Or shrug it off. Pft. Anyhow, I'm going to let you take a quick peek of my week. :) Kiddie Party -- here we come. We traveled two to three hours just to get free Spaghetti and Chickenjoy Meal. Haha. Nope, we were there for the kid. Seriously. :) Bought her cutesy erasers for a gift. She wouldn't be able to consume the entire sushi eraser set during her kindergarten years. I bet. And that pretty li'l kid in pink is so adorable. Her mommy, a co-worker, told me the next day that she wanted to give me a bracelet. She got mad when her mom wasn't able to hand it to me. Awww. We met once only. And she likes me already! Awww. :) On the way home, we spent almost an hour in  Tiendesitas , sort of like a small village which showc...

I scrammed after I posted this

I've eaten my dinner. I've munched on a donut. I've ended the shelf-life of two peanut-butter cookies. I ate bandi  (the circular caramelized sugar with peanuts). But, I'm still hungry. Or, so I thought. I was finally getting thinner weeks ago, but now, I'm gaining weight again. :\ That is a bad sign. Am I depressed? I decided I'm not. I'm just so sure of myself that whatever the scale says is unimportant. Or, I'm just a pig. Anyways, I've just watched Paranormal Activity 2, which I thought was just wasted time. I should have locked my door and worked on oDesk again, but that would add more blandness to my already boring life, so I joined them. I get that temporary high again for like 5 seconds from the alcohol that I have been pumping into my system. I drank a little with my neighbors. We're like Penny, Sheldon, Leonard, Rejesh and Howard from The Big Bang Theory. Only I'm not hot and blonde and my four neighbors are not geeks...

When Happiness Strikes

Image
So, lately, I have been blogging about (a) sadness, (b) confusion , (c) regrets, (d) melancholy , (e) more synonyms please. Now, I have decided that from now on, I'm going to blog about positive thoughts (though I can't promise I couldn't resist the urge to share my negativity in the future). So, yay me. Believe me, I have finally made up my mind regarding one thing in my life and I have to acknowledge myself for being able to accept the once harsh, now normal reality. Also, I have to thank sis mayen for listening to me. I have to talk to somebody that I don't know in real life because sometimes, it's from those beautiful people that we hear the things that we need to hear. (=} Thank you for listening, for talking and for not judging me. =}) And maybe because almost everybody close to my heart have warned me about it for so long that I just let the warning pass by like the wind. Now, I'm finally free and happy and at peace. I've never been so complete...

Yoghurt, Books and SPF 35's

Hearing Mass Hey hey, it's a Sunday and I'm kinda okay. I attended the mass in the morning, because I had lots to do for the day. I went with my cousins and aunt and we always love the homily that the priest in their local church says. Today, the gospel powerpoint (yes, he prepares one. And it's effective.) title is "A whistle in the Market." The thought is about how you identify the voice of Your God amidst a noisy crowd. The noisy crowd can be the evils of today, a.k.a. social media influence, which can be a little negative sometimes, okay, most of the time. To keep hearing the right voice, we should learn to let go of the useless voices that mess up with our life and our religious belief. I might be making a weekly post, What-God-Told-Me-Today Sundays, huh? Hmmm. Well, I will! How to be God's Little Princess I had this idea of making religious posts every week since last year, when I got hold of my purple Bible [read my previous entry abou...

Birthday Gifts for The Dame

Image
I've been procrastinating my birthday gifts post for weeks now. And since it's getting close to a month after my birthday, I am kind of obliged to do this post right now, before hitting the grocery store. I have been busy with work and hanging out with work friends. Anyway, I'm in my twenties, but receiving gifts still gives me thrills. Haha. It wouldn't hurt receiving cute presents even if you're already working. So, here we go.  I got this present from nana and nani, my rightfully single aunts. I was the first baby in the family so you can say that I was well-taken cared of. They gave me this in advance because they think it'll look pretty on me while I go attend a baby shower. My mama gave me a gift -- black-and-red top cover and a giant Cadbury Milk Chocolate. Too bad I left the chocolate when I got back here in my worktown. But I got to wear the top when I went to the beach with mom and the dogs. I love it. Some morning when I ope...

In Case of Housemate Disputes, Smile

Happy isn't really a word to describe my day today. Today is like one of those bad hair days, made heavier by bitter longings and ended by irritating conversations. Back then, having a bad day in school is tolerable since I know total peace and quiet is waiting for me when I go home. My home scenario: Play with my dogs. Hug my mom. And eat a home-cooked dinner. Now that I am older and working, I have nothing to pour my days’ negativities on to but the internet. I am lucky if everything is smooth-sailing in the apartment. However, apartment life with fellow young professionals isn’t glam. It isn’t about house parties and beer anymore. You saw unwashed dishes on the sink this morning. You have gone home from work, yet they’re still there. Tomorrow morning, those unclean utensils are the first ones to greet you good morning while you brush your teeth. Nevertheless, smile. It’s a Saturday and your sleeping hours are extended. Finally, a 12-hour sleep, but, knock knock. Oh,...

The Dame's Life Rules

Image
happy jumping girl , a photo by River Beach on Flickr. I want to be happy all the time. Who doesn't? Unfortunately, the days aren't enough for me to do everything that I want. :/ For instance, I am so sleepy right now, but I want to blog. Haha. I am enjoying my life as a single, 23-year old young prof. I'd be old in no time. Independence dances around me, but my feet are still tied to some responsibilities and limitations. Pft. Anyway, here are my get-happy moves. The Dame's Life Rules  Hope you can relate. Or, try at least one. :D
