City of Pines

Thursday, November 10th, 2011

I miss Baguio City! I want to go back and stay there for a few days. I want to go back and see all the old tourist spots I’ve been to at least three times already. I will never get tired of Baguio and will forever be going there as a tourist.

BenCab Museum

My sisters and I declared that Baguio City will be our adopted hometown. We promised ourselves that we will go there at least once a year. But this year we were not able to go. I am hoping we can go back next year during summer.

It’ll be so much fun to go back and enjoy the cool weather!

My own bedroom

Saturday, October 29th, 2011

Own bedroom

Sometimes I feel so bitter about things. Is it too much to ask for my own bedroom? I think not. I think it’s a little thing to be wishing for and yet one that hasn’t happen yet. I don’t know why I don’t have my own bedroom when I am earning more than what the average worker gets. Sigh. Everything hinges on next year…

You know little things matter. Whatever others say, the little things that we keep on ignoring and taking for granted, those are the things that matter a lot to most. Can you imagine someone like me wishing for her own bedroom for years? I’m sure some of you trash your bedroom or make it seem like a prison. For people like me who’s been sharing a bedroom with her siblings since I was of age, a bedroom is a haven and a luxury that has been out of reach due to limited space inside the house.

If you only knew…

Happy Place

Saturday, May 14th, 2011

Where is your happy place? What does it entails?

When I am upset about something, I always retreat to my safe place, my happy place, my vertical haven. I conjure memories of those years when things were still doing great. Those years when all I thought of was talking to him, being with him, hearing him laugh, seeing him smile.

That is my happy place. My sweet escape.

Carly Simon

Saturday, May 14th, 2011

For old souls like me, hearing the voice of our favorite singers make us feel like we are in 7th heaven. Feels like that for me whenever I hear Carly Simon’s voice. She is my happy voice. The voice in my happy place.

Who’s yours?

Comfort zone

Tuesday, May 10th, 2011

Are you one of those people who are afraid to get out of their comfort zone? Or are you one of the few who loves to challenge themselves to see how far they can go away from their comfort zone?

Sick and calling for mom!

Wednesday, January 5th, 2011

Whenever I feel sick, the first thing that I want to do is call out for mommy. That’s what we do when we’re kids, right? Call out to mommy and she will make the fever and bad feelings go away.

Now that we are grown-ups, we tend to lean on to the person we are closest to. If we’re still single and still living with the parents, then mommy’s still on top of the list. If married or living in with someone, to the partners. Too bad if you are living alone :(

And too bad for people like me who already lost their moms to death :(

Candles, flowers and prayers

Tuesday, November 2nd, 2010

candles

We went to the cemetery yesterday. We offered candles, flowers and prayers for the loved ones who already went ahead of us. My brother. My mom. My grandmother. And the relatives we were close to growing up.

It’s always bittersweet for me. November 1st, All Saints’ Day. My family and I get to see relatives we hardly see throughout the year. It always feel like a reunion of sorts.

Yesterday, we went home just after lunch. We didn’t see so many relatives this time around. We needed to go home earlier than usual because of heavy rains and the fear of getting stuck in a horrible traffic jam. Next year, we won’t be going there anymore. Mom, brother and grandma will be transferred here in the city in a columbary.

Love…

Wednesday, September 15th, 2010

I am totally in love with my new blog theme! In fact, if I would love to use this theme in another blog of mine. As I’ve said in a previous post, I love anything that has to do with notebooks. I collect cute and unique notebooks so why not a theme, right?

Anyway, I still have to make good my promise to update regularly. I also need to start dropping in EC again. I will do that or probably ask someone to do it for me.

Caught up!

Tuesday, September 14th, 2010

Finally caught up!

I will do the EC drops later.

For now, I have to do other tasks that has been pending for days. And then I will get some rest. I don’t want to overstretch myself and find out later that I’m back to being sick.

Will drop by your blogs later, folks!

Happy blogging!

;)

Entrecard drops

Tuesday, September 14th, 2010

I’m sorry I haven’t been dropping that much lately. I have been down with the colds for the past couple of days and I haven’t been doing much work online. I am still resting a bit but will be back as soon as I feel 100% okay.

I will try to return drops in a little while. I’m still catching up on some tasks I need to get done asap. After that, I swear I will try to stay longer online to return the drops I got.
