Life

Life

Life is a series of experiences, each one of which makes us bigger, even though sometimes its hard to realize this. For the world was built to develop character, and we must learn that the setbacks and grievances which we endure help us in our marching forward.

The Valentines Day

The Valentines Day

Ah! yes its that time of the year.. the month full of love and romance. i wonder how much roses are produced and chocolates made just for Valentines alone? personally i’m not the flowers kinda girl but of course i am that chocolate addict type! hahaha chocolates are to die for.. those sexy brown, sweet smelling, mouth watering, heaven sent perfections are my weaknesses. :) I WANT MY CHOCOLATE! chocolates for me are like in the same level as Coffee. believe me they are my divine favorites of all time. you just gotta have them brown things. :)

Anyways, so going back to “Valentines”, i do find that that day can be quite stressful for some and magnificently wonderful for others. there are these bookings for the best restaurants, having the best surprises for your significant other and ahem! maybe even have that extra TLC as well. Nevertheless, i wrote this entry just to tell a reminder that although we have come to that understanding or Notion for that matter that Valentines are for couples well let me tell you THEY ARE NOT!” there’s so much love to share in the world and not the kinds that involve Man and Woman only but those that include friends, animals, nature, art, and these can include all shapes and sizes.. :) and most importantly the love for self.. :) we tend to forget to love ourselves and instead we find ourselves looking for the love of others.

Remember this: the way to be able to love someone fully is to love, embrace and understand yourself first! Nobody can ever make you feel anymore complete than YOU! :P

 

SO SPREAD THE LOVE! <3

 

ADVANCE HAPPY VALENTINES EVERYBODY! ENJOY THAT SPECIAL DAY! :)

 

 

 

The start of a busy 2012 :)

The start of a busy 2012 :)

Konnichiwa!

Hisashiburi! :)

How sad is it that this has only been what my 2nd or 3rd blog entry since i started this account. hahaha ill try to update more often. To be honest, i actually purchased a new laptop last December and lost my passwords in the process(yeah i know! clumsy right?) although it was easy to get nowadays, it seems i was not really in the mood to do anything special the past few months. For one i had to quit my Japanese class, well due to uncontrollable circumstances (Job Issues!) and had to be a volunteer at the airport for a couple of days. Operations became normal in time for the Christmas rush and i had to work double time after missing visits to clients for a couple of months.  after that it was all party! first was with Officemates where we had planned to have a costume party in the office with a theme of United Nations. hahaha! well i just wore my Goddess Dress i wore in Prom on my 4th yr of highschool! Crazy right? still fits me just right thank you very much. :) thing is every thing fits expect for the bust line.. hahahah (ahem!)

The next party was with High School friends which turned out to be one of the craziest and funniest party we ever did for the past few years. i must say there were several unexpected things that happened that night and all was documented by photo.. (hahahaha!) friends that did not drink much ended up drunk dead.. :) (you know who you are.. ) while most ended up dancing like theres no tomorrow. it was so memorable and has dedicated the party for birthday.. I love them! i really do.. <3 after that the end of the year party in the office where there were several OJT’s who got dead drunk (again.. hahahha ) it was so funny seeing other people vomit their heart out on a trash bin while you watch in amazement at how some people can stand beside someone vomiting and not feel her pain at all.. hahahah (well i cant)

And so we have come to the 2012 Schedule which i think will be busier than ever. i have come to realize that since my mom will not be here anytime soon i will still be handling the house expenses and all other concerns relating to my mom. as of the moment, i am handling two visa applications at which i am forced to fast track due to insistent motherly demands and yes i am at a point of being amused of having to handle one US Visa Application (if God allows that i pass it) and a Japanese Visa to be used by the end of March (finally!). let me just say that i am more excited in going to Japan than i am in getting that US Visa. ( US tend to be so overacting in their rules that common! i feel like their over killing it already) My Travel mates and i will also be heading Korea in July as well. :) yep asian countries here we come! oh! before that June i plan to either go to Singapore and November to Hong Kong or the other way around. i still dont know. that depends on the my monetary capacity after the first few trips.. if and this is a big IF i do get to have the US Visa i might visit the country soon enough atleast to visit relatives and New York! :) well see how everything turns out..

 

Praying for an awesome year this year! :)

 

Changes

Changes

As I was scanning the posts on my Facebook page somehow it felt nostalgic to see some people evolved into something ive never really imagined them to be, most of them good while some “Anyare?” and the others just practically stayed the same as they were back when I first knew them. It made me realize that life is really what you make it. We were always given a choice to choose the path we want to hold on to and if all else fail then I guess no one is to blame but you.
Life is always about choices, between good and bad, better and best and of moving forward. I do not believe that things will still remain the same if you want them to. No I strongly disagree with that assumption because by far the hardest thing to counter I believe is change. As one of my officemate’s quoted “its like the end of the world, its inevitable”. It may sound as funny but the thing is his words were really true. A person saying their still the same has most likely changed just the same. Although environment might also be a factor to consider but then again the last decision still lies in you.

Changes come with of course letting go. Letting go of routines, regrets and beliefs because to actually move forward you need to be able to master “the art of letting go” (yeah I know that’s a song title haha) and keep an open mind. To never hold on to something or someone, or even cling to it makes it easier to accept changes. Don’t you think routines are boring? (me too!) Somehow it just kills me to know sometimes that I have come to be accustomed to these routines so there were instances that I try to break from them to try new ones. And so that is why I made this blog, as means to break free from my routines and try a new “hobby”. Monotony kills. (haha) well that’s what I’d like to perceive at least.

But I have also learned to respect those individuals who at one point or the other still manage to counter change. It must be exhausting to see them but I firmly agree that we should at least maintain “some” of the old routines as to not lose to the present.

STRIVE TO BE BETTER FROM WHO YOU ARE NOW.
