Keeping It Real

"I respect everybody's opinion. But I don't necessary expect that everybody will do the same. I can barely handle it! God gave me open-mindedness and broad understanding. And I am thrilled of using it." :)

21st ♥

Weee aaare faaamily!
I've got all my brothas with me! :)
12/16         The day that I'm always looking forward every year. It is the most significant date in my life that I would like to thank God for. As years go by and age go high, life offers me a lot of new things everyday that makes my life worth living for.

I have a perfect family, I assume. A sarcastic outspoken Mom that always give me a big laugh, a calm and "The Man of Few Words" Dad, (In contrast with Mom, it technically balance my life at home, lol) And two annoying brothers that keep my life pretty fun. Yes! We're not an ideal family, we have our own flaws but then, as long as we were intact and happy, I could definitely say that we are perfect.
Mom knows how I love Balot and Penoy,
so she bought 1 dozen on my birthday! <3
I am blessed to have my friends. They are few but at least they are true. I never demand anything from them but they give me favors every now and then. I don't know what's in me that they give their complete trust on me easily. People around me are comfortable telling personal things that their other friends don't know about them. Yes I know, I worth their trust!
A cake from overseas!
A very close friend sent this for me :)
Exactly 12 midnight, I received calls, texts and facebook wallpost from my friends. I really appreciate the efforts they exerted for my special day. There were people whom I never expected to do an extra effort on that day. I thank God for surprises! My heart was thrilled receiving unexpected things from people. Life is one way of considering what I am to people around me. I am more of a giver and it makes my heart melt the moment I became the receiver. That's how things work! It's about give and take. Giving with a cheerful heart is worthy of receiving best things in life.

I miss...

Stick O. Comfort Food!!!


On this day, I miss my childhood. I miss being a kid! Those were the days that I'm worried about:
"What food to eat for miryenda?"
"I want Pancit Canton while watching Doraemon!" 
"How will I escape grandma this afternoon because she wanted me to sleep every siesta time which I really hate?"
"What game to play later?"
"Looking forward for the weekend cause after church, we'll be going to the mall and ask Mom to buy stuffs."

I really enjoyed my childhood. I used to play with the boys coz I don't like my girl neighbor's attitude. Or I just simply don't like to play with dolls. Rough games are the best game ever. Whenever I see a bed, I feel-like to play wrestling. I love playing guns and shoot every people I see.


I grew up with three guys around me. Dad, and two bro's. And seriously, there was a time that I encountered identity crisis. I've no emotion or feelings toward another gender. Emotions were dead. A zombie-like feeling, seriously. An oh, I would like to thank those persons behind my realization that I am a real girl. Hahaha!


But what I really miss the most about being a kid, I had no idea what real love is. (YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN HERE) Before, I thought it's already love when I tell someone that I like him and whenever I see that boy, I smile right away. 


As I grow older, I'm expose to the real world.
Love is not a love until you give it away. You can give without loving. But you can't love without giving.
 Commitment/Committing is a decision that requires a serious agreement. Heart is a living thing that could be hurt and die. So don't mess up someone's heart! 


We may not bring back our childhood, but memories and lessons will remain forever. So as we grow much older, create more memories as we can! We are living only once, make the most out of it.

Making Me Nuts!

Making me nuts! I found Happy! :)
I am a happy person. An optimistic one! But there were times that I found myself frowning. Of course, everyone does. I tend to be happy even though the situation is a bit shaggy and shaky. I guess, being happy is my choice. Best choice I ever chose.




At this point, I finally knew why some people leave me hanging. Everything is well  and all of sudden they tend to keep a distance. For they know I will be alright in a long run. That I can handle such things without them. Which is not always true! I know I can handle such pain and disappointments, but I am just a human. I'll surrender anytime soon.

There were times that I almost gave up. But God didn't allow me. He show signs, instead. In my weakness, He makes me strong. I guess, I am really destined to be needed by people rather than being in need. 

Life is journey of making decisions. And in every days of life, every decision I have made, lessons that I have learned, I don't have a room for regrets. 

After all, It's my life. No  one will benefit in my chosen journey, but me.

The Universal Language


WHAT IS LOVE?

C: "Love starts with a letter L." Having said that, I know I make sense. Did I? Of course, I did.

Well, Love is the simplest reason why I smile.  A life changing feeling that overcome my fears, doubts and guilt. It gives me an initiative to do things more productively. Butterflies in my tummy with a shiny shimmering tantalizing eyes that is already communicating and tell the people around me, "Hey! I've never been this happy."

For an instance, I express love though my craft... Writing poems. Being sweet to anyone is not my nature unless he might give me  the reason to be one. I guess, the sweetest gestures are really unplanned. And if you are going miserable because of love, I guess that's not love after all.

Love is a positive thing that empowers you and not to ruin you. No one has the right to tell you that you don't know what love is or how you should love. For I know we have our own different ways on how we define and how to express love.
