WHY COMPLICATE LIFE?

DON'T FLATTER YOURSELF

Sending a random text message and asking "how are you doing" doesn't always mean you like the person. I might think of you at times but it doesn't really mean I want you in my life. Don't flatter yourself too much - PLEASE!

LIFE IS VERY SHORT

Life is very short. 

So break your silly ego, forgive quickly, believe slowly, love truly, laugh loudly and never avoid anything that makes you happy!

MY ESCAPE

I miss having the person that was my escape from the world around.....

ANAWANGIN

Been to Anawangin before October ended. It was my first time. I've been hearing a lot of this place - the beautiful view, the pine trees, the lake, mountains that surrounds the beach and how relaxing the place is - all good things I must say. Their stories excites me and wanted so much to experience the place. So when someone invited me to come, I said YES!

The place was indeed wonderful. If you are a nature lover, you'll definitely enjoy being there. Anawangin is very popular to the mountaineering community and photographers. They are the peeps whom I kept on hearing stories about this place. And by the way, Anawangin will bring you back to basics. The place doesn't have electricity, signal and you will need to bring a tent and camp if you want to stay overnight as there are no resorts available. Cool, right? 

The place deserves to be called a Paradise. Too bad it was a little crowded when we went there because of the long weekend I guess. But the place did not fail to amuse me. I would still love to go back there and explore the place more.

I AM BLESSED

October 14, 2011 - I celebrated my 28 years of existence. It's been a beautiful journey so far. Meeting different people, sharing lives with them, knowing who to keep and who to let go. I know that my life is just starting and that there will be a lot more in store for me. Being the risk-taking person that I am, future is something that I am not afraid of and will always look forward to. The journey becomes more exciting and fun if you have true friends along the way. For me, it's better to have friends that is not more than what your fingers can count, as long as all of them are true. I am proud to say that I got tons of them. 

My day becomes more meaningful because of friends that showed their love and care for me. I so appreciate their efforts to surprise me and make me feel the most special person on that day. 

I got my team who surprised me on my birthday. They set-up this balloons and Hello Kitty party hats at our work station and a cake. I am actually on leave for that day, but since they keep on calling and sending text messages for me to come to work, I was forced to. I was really touch by the gesture, I so appreciate their efforts and felt so special then. LOL!

Breakfast with good buddies...

And my Bosses treated me for an eat all you can and got the crew sang a Happy Birthday song with a cake!

I am thankful to God for giving me wonderful friends which I can treat as my family too. Thank you Lord for letting me feel that I have lots of people around me. The greetings, text messages, emails and calls from everyone are non-stop and this shows those who are worth keeping as they really took a little of their time just to make me feel special on my day. I am blessed!

VANITY STRIKES AGAIN

Last week, after shift, I accompany my friend Slice at Bench Fix Salon to have a hair-cut. I have no plans of having my hair done. But since I am just sitting and waiting there, I was convinced by the crews that I should have something for my hair. So I decided to have a colored cellophane. I got lots of gray strands anyway, mind you - a lot! LOL. After coloring my hair, it's time for the blow dry. The stylist asked me if I wanted it to be a little wavy, I just said "OK". When it's all done, OMG! I just love the wavy effects that the stylist did to my hair. Too bad I will just go straight to bed when I come home. Haha! That's why Slice took a picture from her phone because we can't help but love the wavy hair!

Vanity strikes again! =)

ENJOY LIFE IN HUMILITY

God balances our life by giving us enough blessings to make us happy and enough burdens to keep us humble. I've never seen one who has everything they've wanted, have you? Everyone still has their own period for yearning. That's how the cycle goes. So let's enjoy life with all HUMILITY.

REPLAY

Wish I could go back in time 

and replay some of the moments I miss best.

THUNDER AND LIGHTNING

It's raining cats and dogs while I am making this post, accompanied by thunder and lightning. I used to be scared of them when I was a kid. A little bit till now, I guess! I am currently in my room with my son beside me who is watching TV whom by the way doesn't mind the thunders and lightnings. He just actually laughed at me when I screech a little as I got startled earlier. Such a sweetie, right?! *Sarcasm* LOL!

THREE LITTLE BIRDS

Singin' don't worry about a thing..'Cause every little thing gonna be alright..

Evening with a soothing music, cold breezy air, sound of waves, bottles of beer - I just miss reggae nights at the beach!

DOESN'T MEAN...

The caption graphic goes to i-am-iNa . I am pre-occupied with a lot of things lately and that includes updating Through the Lens. But that doesn't mean I don't love this blog anymore! I do and I felt a little bad not updating it. LOL! There's actually a lot going on lately but my mind's too tired to put it into writing. Let me start with the things I find interesting these past few days. Will try...

SUMMER DAYS

Random - I suddenly miss summer days! :)

WHERE I WANT TO BE

On the beach is where I want to be. I want to walk along the shore, feel the sand under my feet as the ocean breeze hits my face and the hot sun kissing my skin. I love everything about it. I so miss being there! 

SOUL MATE

SOUL MATE

Do you believe in them?

I DO.

This does not necessarily mean a partner in life. They can be a friend, a relative or a plain acquaintance. They are just the persons whom you always felt comfortable with and can always connect to. Do you have one? I'm sure everyone does. You might not just realized it yet. :)

TAKING PICTURES

I love taking pictures. There's something magical in it whenever I browse and look at pictures. It's like when you click into your camera, it stops a special moment from running away and you could always get back into that photo and feel the exact emotions you have at that particular moment. I would have to say that photography has the ability to make a moment last forever.

DON'T RUSH

Broken hearts are meant to be fixed.

It may take a day, a week, a month, or even years. But at some point, somebody is going to come in your life and make you realize why every other relationship failed. Don’t rush the process, because being single is God’s way of saying now is not the time for you.

I LOVE YOU

An interruption.
A plea for attention.
An objection.
An excuse.
A justification.
A reminder.
A trap.
A blessing.
A disguise.
A revelation.
A way of saying nothing.
A way of summarizing everything.
A surrender.
An opening.
An end.

FREEDOM VS. HAPPINESS
