Litratong Pinoy # 4: Tulay

Kuha ito sa company outing ng aming kumpanya. Nagustuhan ko ang tulay na ito sapagkat parang wala siyang katapusan. Napapagitnaan din ito ng tubig kung kaya't anyong lumulutang ito. Napakaganda ng tanawin mula sa tulay na ito. Sana maisama ko ang aking mga mahal sa buhay rito.

broken

This is what I am right now. I function and go about my tasks. I do my job as I am supposed to. I go about life but I am so broken.

I don't know if I can be whole again.

collage of B's photos

I have recently learned to create collages of photos and its been really rewarding in my opinion. I love how the photos look so good together eventhough they were taken on different dates and different events. At one glance, I can see how B has grown and changed the way he looks. I've done the same for my family and someone and each and every single one has made me smile.

It feels pretty good creating something simple like this. Simple, but rewarding.

munimuni # 38

This week has been a bit challenging since we are house hunting because the son of the owner of the house we are renting wants the house we are in. It used to look really run down but my Mom weaved her magic and made this house very pleasant and nice so he wants it now. Pretty shitty in my opinion but then again, its his parent's house.

My Mom has been in panic since she wants to move before May ends in time for school since it starts in June. I kinda hate the owner of the house right now for what they are doing to my Mom but KARMA baby, it will bite back.

There has been a lot of drama involved as well due to pettiness which I need to address and fix. As they say, understanding and not being too petty are pretty important factors. I need to learn these things.

Now, focusing on the good things ... the twins won another medal for their Dragonboat thingie. Great job twins! And we went to a Jollibee party with B and K. It was fun and even the adults had fun. =) Below are pictures!

The twins posing with their team after winning in the dragonboat competition! Hip hip HOORAY!

This is their medal which is of course with my Mom now. Hehe.

This is B, trying on a mask but it won't fit his little face so you can't see the eyes.

This is K, looking gorgeous in her mask. =)

Some of the Berks (Marie, Marielle, Cheska, and Jess)

(the rowdy boys posing in front of the tarp! Bost, Kris, Jojo, and John Rey)

Hope your week will be good. I hope mine will be drama free and please, please pray that we get to find a house real soon! Thanks!

SPH # 20: Protect(ion)

Living in a tropical country, we are used to the heat but not to the cold. When we visited Baguio, the coldest place in the Philippines, my Mom and lil sister made sure that they are well protected from the cold. Look at how bundled up they are. Lol.

Happy hunting!

my own SecretZen

I found this new site, SecretZen, and I love it. It inspired me to create my own photocard.

Litratong Pinoy # 3: Gusali

Hindi ito ang tipikal na gusali na makikita natin sa syudad ngunit gusto ko ang gusali na ito sapagkat nakakakalma ang larawan na ito. Nakakakalma tumigil at tingnan ang ganitong gusali sapagkat ang tubig ay walang tigil sa pagdaloy at nakalugar ito sa tabi ng dagat.

Hiling ko lamang ay magkaroo ng ganitong pag aari sa aking pagtanda.

happy birthday Arny!

I know I have not been as grateful as I should have been but now, I wanna say THANK YOU.

You are an angel in disguise. I wish you true love and true happiness.

I wonder ....

What people see when they look at me? or read my thoughts?

my brother: the potterholic

He looks happy no? Hehe ... Just wanted to share.

less is more

I realize something. When I don't demand, I get what I want.

Weird no?

See, I have this ugly characteristic. I am very, very demanding. I demand things and when I do, I expect it to happen. I get mad when it doesn't happen. I get very spiteful when it doesn't.

Lately though, I have learned to not demand so much. I am learning to not demand actually. And you know what? It's more effective. I realized that when I don't force people, when they get to do what they want, they tend to want to see me more, to be with me more.

I guess its true what they say; less is more. =)

Flashdance ... flash in a pan

I bought a DVD of this movie because I heard so many good things about it from movie critics and movie buffs (I'm a film major.) So early this morning, I spent it watching Flashdance and really looking forward to being blown away.

I was blown away, with boredom. Save for the dance scenes which were not even that fantastic, the movie was lacking in almost everything. Cinematography was dead, the script was ho-hum, and the acting leaves a lot to be desired. The story should have been moving since its about struggling about self esteem and reaching for your dreams but ... it was just really ho-hum.

I am so disappointed. Grrrr ....

jumping off a cliff

This is how I feel right now. I feel like I am standing on the edge of a cliff and I am about to jump but since I have an irrational fear of heights, my feet are somewhat glued to the ground and there are people behind me chanting, telling me to jump and one of them is on the verge of pushing me over the edge but for some reason, my feet are stuck to the ground.

The weird thing in this picture is that I do want to jump off the cliff. I really do. But its been so long that I've nurtured my feelings of fear that it is such a struggle for me to actually make it happen. I know that when I jump off this cliff, I will be free of so many emotional baggages that I carry with me. I know that if I jump off this cliff, someone will catch me. Still, my feet are stuck to the ground.

How do I know that someone will catch me? How do I know that it will be worth it? How do I know this and that? So many questions and the answer to it all remains the same. I don't really know. I just have to TRUST.

So here I am, standing on the edge of this cliff. Can I do it? I really hope so. I really, really hope so.

What do you think?

freaking sweltering heat

It is way too hot, even for the Philippines. It is way to hot. I can't even sleep anymore since I sweat immediately with very small movements. Mind you, I do not sweat easily. Argh!

I am so not liking the sweltering Manila heat. It is too much.
