Our background and circumstances may influence who we are, but we are responsible for who we become. We may screw up making choices but life is not about it, it is what steps we take to rectify them.

A NOTE TO SELF: Be calm. Seek your center, that's where your strength is. Breathe. When you inhale, you are charged with energy. When you exhale, you rid your body of tensions; relax. Don't think. Obey your instinct. ~ Isabelle Allande|City of The Beast

HAVE COURAGE AND BE GRATEFUL, ALWAYS... ^__^.

Standing Up

 Always Standing Up,
Even When Standing Up is Not Easy.

Battleground

It’s been a really busy month for me, unbelievably, yet fulfilling. Hopefully, the following months would be somewhat the same, fulfilling. I’m wondering though, how could I fit in everything together when I’m back to school next year. My work alone demands so much of me, but if I won’t do something now, nothing would change a thing. I will see what I can do ‘coz obviously I can’t change my foot if my shoe doesn’t fit. LOL I no longer have any boyfriend/partner responsibility as to time and whatever, but I seem to be busier. I don’t understand! LOL I do or I don’t, what matter is whenever I self-check, the result is I’m fine.
Well, life is a constant battle and to be in a new battleground is sure more challenging and exciting. But to survive and live without getting amputated, one needs to have a strategy – a very good one!
 
Alright, I’m evaluating my strategy, I want to keep my whole body, alive and kicking ^__^.
 

Dark Knight

I can’t sleep ‘coz I don’t want to sleep
And deep into the night I found a mate
‘’Dark knight, you are keeping me awake.
Good job, by the way!’’ I said.
 
No dawn to welcome me that’s how it’s going to be
And the sun will hide in place I’d never see
My day will be night with no stars in the sky
And the moon will explode right before my eyes
 
Tell me dark knight, you’d protect me tonight
Against all my wild thoughts and out of control emotions
That, it’s alright to sleep and still wake up in the dark
And you stay by my side ‘til the first sunray comes out

Out With The Girls

This month is overwhelming. I went here and went there, with the girls, wow!

 
I flew to the north for a 3-day trip with a few girls at work. It was really fun, though it made my pocket inside out. I’m broke! LOL



I, my sister-in-law and a common friend got together to spend more time with my sister when she came here in the big city during her school break. No time to waste was our goal and sure it was a sure-ball!


 
And. My roommates and I scheduled a cruise buffet dinner in a bay and here, we are off-shore. Food served was not too good but the view is magnificent which we enjoyed for a few hours. It was a nice windy ride experience. Not too bad for buying a discounted voucher!
 
Later girls! ^__^

Playmates In My Playground

I took the girls to the place I often hangout during weekends to read a book, relax or think – simply to be alone. I love the place that I consider it my playground, not because it’s where I run or chase but because it’s where I can play my thoughts a lot. It’s a lovely and relaxing place to be, for me.
 
We stayed for hours enjoying the place and this time I literally played in my playground. I got playmates, so why not? They did play too and it was really fun.
 
 
The next time I hangout here alone, is sure more relaxing. And oh, for safety purposes, ‘’Beware of flying golf balls’’. So far, I’ve never been hit while hanging around here. LOL

Perfect Moment

~ Don’t wait for a perfect moment.
Take the moment and make it perfect. ~

 
My sister is 17 now. She is growing so fast. I was 9 years old when she came into this world and to me it seems just yesterday. I played my role well as her big sister, keeping my eyes on her, changing her diapers, being her playmate, making her laugh, annoying her to cry, and eating her baby food. I’m proud! LOL I think my attachment to her will stay the same even when I’m 80. Besides, I’m her only sister! ^__^.

 
I’m deeply glad she got the chance to be here in the big city for a week, though I was only able to spend 3 days with her, my eldest brother and sister in law, all together. I had so much fun hanging out!
 
‘Til next perfect moments, blogger! ^__^

Kiss And Tell

Sunshine is through my window
An inch away it shows me you
I clasp my hand and look up to pray
‘’Oh God, he is a wonder to see.’’

I pinch my cheeks for blush effect
Smiling like a fool while you’re still sleep
‘’Darlin’ I can’t help it’’ I whisper in the air
Whenever I look at you I’m under your spell

In my heart it’s your name I carve
And in my mind are images of your smiles
With a thought of you I’m energized
And with your touch I’m wild as fire

I’d lie if you ask me for these truths
But I’m too sheer you’d know its kiss and tell
C’mon darlin’ this moment you can’t spoil
‘Coz you are the reason of this infatuation

Terminal

At the waiting lounge I wait for your plane to land
There’s nowhere else I want to be than where I am today
When I’ll see you baby walking towards me
I have something in my pocket to start your day

Hours has passed and the world has shifted
It’s 3 in the morning and i daydream
Everyone is busy it’s quite a scene to see
Soon the sun will smile around but you will shine for me

Looking through the glass walls I am amazed
Where I am is standing on top of an unknown land
Interest grows as everything seems new
Now I can’t wait to chitchat and share all these with you

Your plane landed and baby you know where I’ll be
I’m right here with the biggest smile you’ll first see
I see you rushing outside I stand up and chase you
I lost your shadow and everyone’s eyes are on me

I scratch my head for that odd moment
And back to where I waited I shake my head
I can’t be wrong, ‘’who was that, superman?’’
Who disappeared from my sight in a split second?

With my puzzled look I find you outside where you wait
Hey and hey I feel great as we kiss it’s you and me I missed
In this terminal at the same time and at the same place we meet
To take our next emotional flight with carry-on heart baggage

~ Dizzy ~

Come Home

I can see it in your eyes I can feel it in you nerves
Trying to define life but it’s a hard quest
I can’t define it for you I cant define it for me too
But if you allow me I can try to live it with you

Hold my hand I’ll hold yours tight
I won’t let you loose I won’t let you go
Take my hand and grip tighter will you
I won’t leave your side baby you know

Tell me what you need when you are feeling down
When you are feeling fine or when you are in doubt
Call me when you want silence and peace
I’ll sit still beside you with my zipped lips I promise

I’m coming with you I don’t believe you have a choice
Come hold my hand lets journey hand in hand
In this world of uncertainty there is you and me
I wont let you go alone coz with you I am home

Adrenaline Rush

Hey blogger, its been a while and my adrenaline is still over my head, its rushing and overflowing. Looking back on my previous post, I am overwhelmed how everything turned out after it. After work last Friday, the group went to the bar for birthday celebration. Food and drinks were served for a late dinner party. The band on stage was playing songs including happy birthday for the celebrants who then together blew the lighted candles pinned on top of a delicious mango cake. Cheers and cheers. In my second gulp of red wine, I turned red and got drunk. I’m never used to alcohol and I doubt I’ll ever get use to it. More ice, please, to kick off the effect. The celebration ended in a few hours and everyone left the bar.
 
I slept on a sofa at Ms Anne’s and woke up feeling restless. I guessed I was too excited for the trip. I am always excited of anything upcoming though. Trips keep my adrenaline over my head. Though I am always focused and cautious, I am also too curious. I badly need to tame my excitement like controlling a free stallion galloping in every direction. Sometimes my pace overpowers my actual energy reserves. Hopefully I’ll get wiser in consuming them.
 
I can still feel my blood rushing wildly through my veins from the short and busy adventure trip. It was fun and exhausting at the same time. It’s fun because it is a moment shared. And it’s exhausting because it was enjoyable though the heat was sometimes the opposite. During the entire trip, we had a very kind driver(slash)guide, comfy van and the comforts we needed were close at hand. Though, a few of us still had headaches from the heat including me.
 
When the adventure trip ended, we flew back home, all exhausted but satisfied. I have a little sunburn from it which will disappear in maybe within a month, so it’s completely okay. Now I’m back to my original busyness, work and dance practices too for the upcoming xmas party. I can’t wait to gallop away again!
 
For the meantime, I am back here too. Hello ^__^

Lifeless Friday

Today is a stressfully dry Friday. I came to work this morning, nearly running while carrying my bag for the weekend trip. I am to stay at Ms Anne's tonight with Remy, originally. Anyway, I was almost late for my time-in. Though, it was kinda fun running, to get some adrenaline rush. But when I got to work, the atmosphere seemed depressing. The air-condition unit right above my desk on the ceiling is broken, office temperature is high and I'm exhausted. One of my officemates was dragging his leg from his knee arthritis and won’t make it to the party tonight. Abie is leaving after lunch to attend an urgent family matter and won’t make it. And one more won’t make it, too. Remy is feeling sick which I dunno how far it goes and probably she won’t make it as well or perhaps goes home after 10 minutes. She’s not staying at Ms Anne’s tonight, she needs to feel home and to feel better. We have a flight to catch tomorrow for the trip. In the company’s restaurant during lunch, it was very unlikely that there were barely any staff eating when I went. The food they prepare there though in most days is not as pleasing and enjoyable, so even it’s free, I’d understand any staff not availing it. But, in all fairness to Chef, he is improving!lol I have a meeting to attend at 1.30 this afternoon and I'm praying it won’t last very long, or best, it will be cancelled. There are 3 vessels on crewchange and seafarers are dispatched today, I don’t want to be sizzled too much!lol I feel lifeless already. Hopefully, this will turn to a different course after work.
 
Party later! Happy birthday to Maám Anne and Sir Sigmund!!! ^__^

A Friend


A Friend
Is someone who sees through you
And still enjoys the view.
^__^
 
 

Role Play

The Group of Company’s yearly x-mas party is always big. They make it big, I suppose. ‘coz it’s big! Did I make sense? Well, there is always this show contest among sister companies ( it was only an interdepartment contest for the mother company 2yrs ago and more), so for the upcoming event our team and others have already started practicing routines. My team started last Tuesday for the selected musical show called ‘’Wild Wild West’’. The choreographer identified who plays who, shared the full 10 minutes music/drama record, and taught us some steps to practice. Practice will be every Tuesday and Thursday every week for 2 hours minimum every after work. Overall, that freaks me out! But since I like dancing, I’m just gonna enjoy this. And oh, I play a hoker/dancer in a bar! How is that for freaking me out? Damn great, I’m not the only hoker. There will be 4 of us! Oh my, second practice tonight. Alright, c’mon, shake that butt!lol
 
I’ll be shaking my butt this weekend for my 3-day trip too! Whoah, I’m in for a Spanish drama!
 
Have a nice trip, bloggers! ^__^

Respect And Love

‘’Respect people who find time for you in their busy schedule,
But love the people who never look at their schedule
when you need them.’’


Hello October! It sure is the start of a busy day down to the very last day of this year. Hopefully then, I wont miss anything amidst everything along the way, specially those who are dearest to me. Everything in life is just half of the life's equation. And the other half is who we are with to share our everything.
 
Keep up with what is toss on your way, blogger! ^__^
 
 

A Walk To Kill

Three hours and a half walking non-stop, scouting every street around my place for a house/room/apartment for rent. So far, there was nothing I like but its fine, I got to walk. Walking is good and walking with someone is better. I and Remy will scout more in the following weeks.
 
Funny though, coz during our scouting(slash)hangout this Saturday, we learned that in a few streets from my place there is a huge 4-storey Spanish style building filled with arts, u name it and its there. A souvenir shop/antique shop/museum, all in one building. It was my first time to be in there and so was Remy. I totally love the place. I can only say ‘wow’ to everything and another ‘wow’ for the high prices in some pricetags!lol I adore every wood carvings there, I always do. There are so many in there and im drooling to have one but ive no house to fill it in lol So I sneaked to take a few photos, instead.

A painting, hanging by the stairs. It took me a while to take my eyes of it before I proceeded to the next floor, which is also filled with many beautiful paintings on the walls, wow!
 
 
This one is funny, seems like there’s two missile heads on it. :-P
 
 
 
These turkeys are made from a plant, which I guess called banahaw. I didn’t think it could make something adorable as this.
 
 
I would call this one ‘’Human Fire’’. lol
 
 
A very cheeky figure ^_^
 
 
A large wooden fish frame for a large mirror.
 
 
Now is my favorite. A sword. A long one, alright, just it wont fit on cam lol
 
 
We finally found a place to stay! This is exactly what I and Remy were looking for, just right here, sitting on the shelf! Too bad we’re too large to occupy it.


 

 
And a few shots around the place while hanging out and scouting. A band of some teenagers playing instruments in a vacant lot decorated with street art/drawings on walls from a wreckage structure. And right across is a large exhibit tent. Cool house searching!lol

 
I got home and then went shopping with Angel for 4 hours and a half, another nonstop walking. I woke up in the morning with a vague memory of me going to sleep. I must have collapsed, luckily on my bed. lol
 

Maybe One Day

I’m on my way home killing so much time as I can
Streetlights are all lined up on one side to the right
I’m feeling wrong and I’m feeling right alone tonight
Maybe a man will walk happily with me here one day

My thoughts are jerking all at the same time
Weakening me like fire set on my poor rubber knee
I’m going crazy at the moment I imagine you and me
Maybe we will walk together at the middle of this road one day

To climb inside ones skin and walk around in it is a fun maze
I don’t know if I find my way out right or find my way back to the start
With a flaming desire in the heart of a comrade to be lost is alright
Maybe it will be endless but priceless endeavor one day

It’s a very calm and quiet night in this motionless street
For me is the best time to ponder away from any responsibility
I look up to see the vast and infinite sky towering me
Maybe I will share this majestic experience on a hilltop one day

I outline myself on the sky star by star which are lively and kind
And I wish upon them to guide each and every complicated heart
The moon is affectionate with a warm smile across it
Maybe I will keep seeing it even when I don’t need it

One day. Maybe.
