I’m back in Manila.. and now, I could finally say that our Boracay side trip fared okay.. I’m happy to see THE Boracay everyone’s been talking about.
Pictures in monochrome:
I’m going to tell you a little secret..

Boracay.. not Bora.
Boracay is not as grand as I’ve imagined it to be. Sure, the white sand.. and an endless shore of happy lights.. establishments wherever you look.. But you know, I never really enjoyed crowds. I love the quiet.. it gives me peace of mind. And peace is my idea of rest.
I am not a fan of the scorching sun either.. maybe, Boracay isn’t just my style.
However, it’s only my 2nd...

I was hurt.. yes, “was”.. because I’m not hurting anymore. I have learned to let go.. I’ve realized that things will never change.. things will never get better. Letting go of an issue is easy, but having to experience betrayal over and over and over is just too much. Acceptance is the key.. it didn’t happen over night, but it came. I feel better now.. finally, I am...

writing something personal.
I haven’t shared something about myself lately. Everything that I share here in tumblr is about me. But they’re just vague, symbolic posts.. and not straight on posts about myself. Can you get what i mean?? ha.
anywaaay, so here’s my straight on personal update:
I’m tired. You may say that I’m always tired. But I can’t help it....

Have a little smile, and show everyone that the world didn’t end just because they’ve let you down.
Happiness is when you realize you deserve better..
Happiness is when you see black and white..
Happiness is when you decide to be happy..
and it is contagious.

I dreamt of you.. and you were fading.. blurring into nothingness.
I called your name.. begged you to stay.. but you kept waning away.
I woke up and knew.. knew that I really lost you. Watched you walk away, not just in my dreams.. but yesterday.
maybe “meant to be” is not for “you and me”.

dear you,
when life gets tough.. be thankful. Because only then that you will learn, only then that you’d appreciate friends.. those who will cook good food for you, and buy you ice cream when you refuse to eat. love and a broken heart is a part of life.. you have to deal with it. get a grip because life isn’t perfect.. and it is not always fair.. but God is. So stand up.. deal with...

13 years of John Mayer..
I am invincible, as long as I’m alive..
“Everything happens for a reason” is no reason not to ask myself if I am living it right.
Mama said, “think before speaking..”
You look so good, it hurts sometimes.
I tell everyone, I smile just because..
It’s the kind of thing, you only see in scented, glossy magazines.
I’ll know it, when I see you.

you were 10 feet away from where I stand.. and you were surrounded with the prettiest girls in the room.. I stood there and watched you charm everyone.. they were all caught up with what you were telling them.. everyone loves you.. but you know that I love best, right?
Finally, you caught me staring at you.. and you smiled your special smile.. the smile I know is just for me.. you whispered your excuse and walked away from them. I waited and waited.. until you reached my side.
Y: I told you to text me.
M: I told you, I won't.
Y: How long were you waiting?
M: A while. But don't worry, I enjoyed watching you.
Y: With all those girls?
M: "Yes. Makes me think, each of them wants you.. and you're mine."
Y: "Yes. I'm yours."

we get hurt because we still care.. because even though things got bad between us, we cannot deny the happy times we’ve spent together.. the memories we’ve shared, the dreams we’ve built..
Despite all the tears, we cannot easily throw away the smiles we’ve collected all these years. You have caused me pain, and I have said things too.. but there was an underlying question...

May God give you the love that you’ve always wanted. The kind that will make you smile everyday.. The one that will make you cry too, but makes you stay.
May you all have a great February 2013.
You’re the star in my darkest night sky.. You’re the color that made black in white.. You’re my smile in a pool of tears. Everyday I thank God for you.
You’re the song that made me sing again. You’re...

“How was your day?” you asked, hugging me.
“It went well.. you know how scared I was this morning, but I managed alright. I didn’t expect it, but I had fun at work today.” I asked you back, “How was yours?”
“Not as good.” I started to worry, and looked into your eyes.
But then you answered,
“Because you’re not with me.”

Cry when you’re hurt.. and tell yourself, you’ll be okay.
Remember and then forget.. and repeat to yourself, you’ll be okay.
Cry some more, and tell yourself, you’ll be okay.
over and over.. and over.
til you take it by heart. til you start to believe it.

I’m having a rare Saturday :) and I’m so happy to spend a day with myself again.. I spent my morning in bed.. just catching up with my reading - “real book” reading.. :) days spent outside have resorted me to ebooks, and I miss holding pages :) it was an incredible feeling.. like being reunited with an old friend. You see, whenever I feel lost.. when friends are too busy.....

We are walking hand in hand.. and you whispered in the midnight air.. i wouldn’t have catched it, if i wasn’t so atuned with your breathing. i heard it. in the faintest of words.. “i love you..”
i wanted to ask.. make you repeat them. but I didn’t.. instead, I pressed your hand.. to let you know that I get it. I get it now.

2nd day of 2013.
I’ve learned today from Mr. Google (and the stars) that 2013 will be a really great year for me.
I pray and hope that’s true, because 2012 sucked! Ha. Just sayin.
I want all the happiness that I’ve missed last year. I want to do relevant things.. I want to meet people.. and forget all those that made me cry. I wanna start over.

The Last Day of the year..
Goodbye 2012, I will definitely not miss you. I have cried buckets this year and I never want to experience all of 2012’s uncertainties again.

I may have kept this down all year, but I am letting you in this one time..
our family had a really difficult year.
I was a nerve-wreck.. and I tried really hard to deal with it each day. I came up with a lot...

I’m tired.. and I’m bored.
I feel so unattached today.. like doing things with half of my mind, and the other half running in chaotic jumble. I cannot be this way.. Is this what John meant about “quarter life crisis”?
I want balance.. and order.
I need to find my way back..

I looked far ahead.. eying what I couldn’t yet find..
In a disturbing bus ride, I tried to figure out what’s been missing in my life..
The skies are sad tonight,and I’m crying along with the rain..
It’s really dark outside my window..

November 11 of last year (11/11/11), together with some office friends, we booked flights to Korea. yay!!
Now, finally.. here are the photos and the stories behind them:
We arrived at Incheon Airport at about past 8pm and it was raining.
We slept that night at Zaza Backpacker’s Hostel. Good thing that there’s a heater on the floorboards. It was really cold.

At rare days like today, I let myself feel the pain.. I’ve been putting off my negative thoughts because I refuse to be sad. I am meant to do better things than wallow or over think my life.. I chose to live my life.
But today, I am here thinking about how hard things are for the past couple of months.. and how discouraging **born and raised** is.. (I love whiskey whiskey whiskey, but...
