Happy Ramblings

I have been blogging for years now. I started on blogspot around 2007, switched to Friendster, then Multiply and went back to Blogspot in 2008. I changed my blog in 2009 because I wanted a fresh start. There are times when I would blog almost everyday and there came a time when I did not blog for months! 2008 was my most active year in blogging. And I know that one of the reasons, well the main reason, was because I have blog friends whom I felt were really sincere. I am not saying that the bloggers nowadays aren't sincere. That's not what I meant. It's just that, it's pretty obvious how some bloggers just  leave comment just so you would drop by their blogs and comment back as well. Sure, receiving comments like "Cool post!", "Nice pictures!", "Nice Outfit!" are appreciated, but I just hope that people who leave comments like these gave some time to actually read what was written in a blog post. I might sound needy to...

For a week, I was given a chance to live a life that I wanted to live. I felt so happy. I felt so free. I felt responsible for myself. I did not worry much, in fact, I did not worry at all. Well, except for that one time, but I got it settled  right away. It was really fun. I know I said this already but  I felt really, really, REALLY happy. I've been dreaming of living a life like that and I am really thankful I experienced it. Even for just a short while. But then again, wouldn't it be a lot better if I were given a longer time to enjoy it? Yes, it was tiring. Even exhausting at some point, but if you were to ask, I can totally live a life like that! I would love to re-live that moment over and over again. I still cannot believe how so many things happened and had been accomplished for a week. So many thing had to be done and somehow, everything got settled. There was even an unexpected accomplishment which made everything more worthwhile.  I do not even...

It's Valentine's Day! Is this the reason why I'm still wide awake? It's past midnight and I am blogging. My eyes are tired but I couldn't sleep. I tried closing my eyes and putting myself to sleep but apparently, I did not succeed! It's crazy because I am once again trying to get used to something. :/ This is definitely going to be more difficult than before. Life can be such a joke. Bad joke. But then again, I know I should be thankful. I prayed so hard for it and my prayer got answered. It just so happened that it was a short lived kind of bliss. I know, I know! I should just shut up and be thankful because one of my prayers got answered.. But I guess that's really how people are? Always asking for more? Or is it just me?   Were there ever times in your life that you felt both extreme happiness and sadness at the same time? I know this might sound crazy, but this is how I'm feeling right now. I am so happy, I am overwhelmed by happiness but at the...

Dress: Cache Cache || Flats: CottonOn || Cardigan: Thrifted As a little girl, I had these things in mind which I wanted to be doing. I had plans. I had dreams. I knew back then what I really wanted. Growing up, I took the steps which I thought would take me closer to those things I aspired to have and to be the person I aspired to be.  Top: ChicaBooty || Shorts: Greenhills || Flats: Wade || Bag: Parfois When I reached young adulthood, I came to realize that it is not easy. Life is never easy. We don't get some of the things that we wanted no matter how hard we worked for it. Sometimes, it's really just not meant to be. We get things which we did not expect. We get both bad and pleasant surprises. We cry and laugh. We win some, we lose some. Life is a battle and you cannot always win.  Black Cami: Forever21 || Top: Thrifted || Pants & Shoes: Cotto On || Bag: No Brand, from Mom With all the frustrations, failures, sadness, successes, and happiness that I...

One of my friends from my first job got married last December 5. I know, I know. Super duper late post. I lost my drive to blog, again. But here I am again. Finally posting an update. Well anyway, back to Kay and her wedding. I was not able to start the wedding ceremony because I came from work, but I witnessed the wedding kiss! I am so happy for her and Anthony! Kay was my team leader when we were still working for the same company. I am so glad that even though we haven't been hanging out ever since we left the company, she still invited me (along with 3 others) to her wedding. Although she already mentioned that she was going to invite us, it still touched me that she really did! It only means I've been a good friend, right? HAHA!  The wedding ceremony was held at Malate Church and reception followed at Ramon Magsaysay Hall, just few blocks away. I really am getting old. I got really teary eyed when they kissed! Awww moment right thurrr. Haha! If I witne...

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE! Ha! Ha! Am I too late to greet you all? Oh well, it's always better late than never, right? lol. I hope you guys enjoyed your holiday celebration because I did!  I am so behind my blog posts, so I will make this one a real quick updates! Sharing some photos from my holiday vacation and celebrtion. We celebrated at my Lolo's house. Whenever he's in the country, we make sure to spend time with him everytime we get a chance. It was just a simple celebration but Lolo was very happy because it was also his birthday last January 1st! So anyway, here are some of the photos! I actually have quite a lot of pictures, will share and post others on a separate entry!   Our New Year Celebration was really simple. Simple but we had fun despite the lack of fireworks! Lol. Oh, farm life!

Jessica, Ymel and Me I know quite a lot of people but there are only few whom I consider as my close friends. I am so blessed to have met Jessica and Ymel, my best friends in the whole world! We've been best friends for eleven years now. We were all there when a first experience each other's first love and first heartbreak! Hahaha! We may not hang out every week but we always get in touch via facebook, twitter and/or sms! When we get together, it always feels like the time we allotted with each other is not enough. We understand each other best. We can finish each other's sentences. We can be brutally honest with each other. I love these two girls so so much! Two weeks ago (late post again,lol), we had this send off dinner for her. As of this moment, she's already in Jeddah, nursing sick people there. I am happy for her because she finally gets to practice her profession again, but it's just sad because we are going to miss her here again! I'm g...
