COFFEE BREAK! :)

I feel like a little melodramatic today, estranged to my inner being if not, and so found the need of having a coffee with myself to straighten up things, oh well, with my crooked almost corrupted brain.  Like what you’ve expected, blog is the answer!

There isn’t really much to tell about my life, apart from “you-all-know-about-this” stuff about me. But there are things that I want to zero in today. Since I’ve been hitching facebook world every single God-given day, I’ve noticed a chain of behavior that’s becoming so palpable lately.

#1. People want to look so “freakumly” beautiful/gorgeous. Don’t get me err---wrong. It’s perfectly normal for people to equate their happiness with how they appear physically BUT for-crying-out-buckets! Don’t do it for other people to adore you like some Athena in the ruins because honey, we all know that there are a lot of Barbie-like sweeties out there who are either JUST-BORN-LUCKY or INSANELY-RICH-TO-OVERHAUL-MY BODY! So if you are one of those girls who always end up intimidated by the wall photos of other girls—shut up and smile! Don’t try to appear beautiful-try to be happy.

2. What do you need from the world? I’m talking about the posts that we make when we open our doors to the world, show them every little detail about us, about our family, our relationships—everything! JUST WHY DO WE DO THAT? Because those tiny thumbs that say LIKE send exciting chills to our spine—yes? APPROVAL IS BLISS. Like it or not, most of us want to be at the center stage.

#3. AMALAYER? AMALAWYER! This is getting old and dusty, I suppose, but that girl is FIERCE! BAM! We’re far from being perfect, all of us, and there are really tough times that can drown us in our own emotions. WHATAMISAYING? Let’s not judge her by default. We saw a video, incomplete; surely there must’ve been a reason for her to react that way. But nonetheless, shouting in public is a NO-NO! As much as possible…J As always, RESPECT BEGETS RESPECT.

WHOAH! That’s it for now. And having written all these things made me feel reunited with all my organs—every little cell in my body is happy, every little cell in my body is swell (I mean, well) LOL. That’s a song, by the way.

If you’ve read the entirety, let me know what you think and if not, just whatever you think. LOL. Some stuffs that helped made my day from sorrowful (what a word) to “smile-full” J DOWN HERE:  

A Leap of Faith

I was in the middle of flipping pages and mumbling, what seemed to be, endless Special Civil Actions Rules and what not. Suddenly, an outburst of "lust" awakened my innermost desire-to do the scribbling! And so I devoured myself into a few seconds of escape and so wrote---

A Leap of Faith

How do you start a journey? For some it’s as easy as a single leap, but for us who fell and failed, fought and fumbled, fearing of starting once more and losing again. A single journey is like starting a massive fire in the middle of the ocean. Our enemy is as vast as the sea. With no sufficient financial resources-barely a penny in reality. To start a journey in the business realm, was just, and still feels like, an impossible dream. But ANGELS are TRUE and like Cinderella’s wish, our dream did do come TRUE. YES, IT DID.

And the story began in one idle Sunday afternoon. While I was dreaming, he stood up and found a place to pursue the dream we both have for our future. He was a traveler, a very systematic, organized traveler. And so, at the early age of 30 he was able to go abroad many times before, visited sites that I only see in the movies. Suddenly, the idea, how about having a travel and tours agency?

I, on the other hand, am his avid supporter. I do the talking while he does the planning. And so we pushed our dreams to its limits until a breaking dawn unveils the possibility of turning it to reality. Amidst all the obstacles, from people to money to time, we were able to bring more or less 60 Law students to Manila for the first ever Bar Operations and Exposure Trip. Imagine 60 of them and just the two of us. God has interfered during those days, we were tired but we haven’t got the time to complain, afraid that the dream of a lifetime will vanish like a smoke. But yes, we survived! With only perseverance and each other’s trust, we survived! What a genuine happiness it brought.

The journey has to continue, with friends and family, and again, each other; we opened the DSL Travel and Tour Consultants in fiery orange and green on October 18 (Boy, that rhymes!). That song, “What a Feeling, keep believing!” an old striking song, is very true. Whether we’re doing the right thing or not, we don’t have enough time to think, so much is at stake. If there’s one thing that we have intact, it’s each other and well, few people and lesser penny. But look at us, still paddling in the middle of that vast ocean, no idea how to reach our destination, but that destination we shall reach, we will, we can.

And though the tide is sometimes too huge to conquer, and though we’re not so sure how to handle, and even if typhoon will hit our journey, the fact remains, this journey is all there is and each other is all that we have.

To success! Amen. <3

Why "Lie to Me"? A Truthful Confession

Can you imagine your girl best friend intentionally marrying your first love just to make you feel miserable? Then one day, you met them again and they seemed to be totally happy while you’re pretending to have moved on but in reality, you still have not forgotten the guy you fell in love with years ago and life is as dejected as it can possibly get—no boyfriend, almost an old maid. L

This is a story of a woman, Gong Ahjung, with a successful career as a level 5 Ministry of Culture official (whatever that means in Korea), who got entangled in her web of lies when she said, in the midst of her pitiful misery, that she was actually married to one of the richest bachelors in their country, Hyun Gijoon.  Eventually, the lead characters compromised to enter into a void contract of fake marriage.

Call it preposterous but I instantly loved the idea of lying to be perfect but with the right reasons. You don’t get cheated and dumped just because of a self-centered woman who calls you friend! But the real conflict of the story is that, Hyun Gijoon is still madly in love with his ex-fincee, who recently re-appeared, but could not marry her because his younger brother Oh Yoonjoo loves the same girl. And this ex-fiancee is still madly in love with the leading man too. I’m not really sure how’d she react when she discovers about the fake marriage.

There’s more to that, the little brother calls himself as the genie of Gong Ahjung. I don’t know his motive right now but I’m dying to know if he’ll fall in love with her because that would be history repeating itself (Brothers loving the same girl). There’s too much to watch out in this movie, it’s complicated but it’s hilariously-sweet.

Aside from the plausible chemistry, I also like the rude character of the leading man, not the typical head-over-heels guy. There’s an element of challenge where, the girl who can soften his dispassionate heart earns not just his love but also his respect, I love it. And from what I heard, they will have sweet kissing scenes, not that I love those scenes, I want to see how their chemistry will nail it.

Best part, you’ll get to see their posh outfits. LOL.

CONCLUSION: I wouldn’t write a blog if it’s not worth the mention. This Koreanovela has just started on GMA prime time, airing after One True Love. Give it a shotJ

Lately, I've been guilty of shying away from facebook and blogging, in the hope that I would give in to the necessity of studying like a suicidal clinging on to death .. BUT NO! I slept instead.

Destination: Love 1K

Two years, eight months, three weeks and six days on Saturday, June 23, 2012… Just another work of destiny; I was looking for a perfect match; you were looking for a perfect catch and then, in a twisted work of fate, I met you. 

And it all begins…

A girl can like a guy for all his sweet antics but she can only love a man with a sincere intention, a man who doesn’t promise all his wealth but all that he is.

The short-spanned courtship…

Courtship is no longer about the length of time but the feelings evoked, it's when both of you try to create a portal into each others’ reality. In each passing day you’ll see that what was once a vague portrait of your future is now beginning to crystallize into a happy ever after of a life together. You'll always start thinking of TWO..

I've been given a bouquet of flowers, but I never thought you’d do it almost every day and thrice a day! Mommy even asked me, “Is he planning to turn this house into a flower shop?” So did my friends, so did I. But being important to someone’s life, other than your family and friends, is such a wonderful feeling. Love teaches you to see the world in different perspective, suddenly; a heaven on earth.

On food: You bloated my stomach and stuck in there NO BABY. Eating is an essential part of our story; our love blossomed over bilao and the bests of Palmeras, boodle fight of Alberto’s, Curacha de La Vista, lechon and a long list of carbs and fats. Our sizes bear so much significance to our love: the bigger we grow, the stronger the bond.

Why I finally said, YES…

Because I don’t want to be on a date every day, I don’t want to be fetched from house to school and vice versa, don’t want to be seen with a guy, don’t want to be treated like a Princess, I don’t! But I was controlled. And it was a very unusual feeling, you got me so confused, all messed up. And worst, you got me needing you… a lot. And being needed in return was a great feeling too, so what can I do? I guess, that’s a love come true?

What’s love got to do with it?

It’s not always about flowers, chocolates and food. There will certainly be rough times. So what’s our secret? WE FIGHT. (Like WTF happened?! LOL.)

We fight for each other NEVER against each other. The goal is, to get to the bottom of the problem, adjust if there’s a need and strengthen the relationship.  We can have a healthy argument without ever losing respect for each other. Focus on the goal.

We’re a team, that’s why we sort things out—together. So it’s not always about love. It has to be commitment.

The sweetest things he did…

The Perfect Date with Ondoy. Date at La Vista del Mar in the midst of a typhoon. Truly, love respects no obstacles. I had to catch my breath when I saw where we’re heading. It was the tree house reserved exclusively for the two of us. It was so serene up there. The soothing sound of the waves, the cold breeze that relaxed my mind and eased every inch of the tension between us with the tiny-twinkly lights from afar set the mood for a magnificent evening. Everything was magical. And it was just the start of his surprises. When we reached the table positioned at the balcony, I saw a big bunch of flowers delicately arranged and, I think, a card with his dedications inside. My heart could have collapsed if not for the inviting smell of delish food. After the dinner, when I thought that surprises were over and done with, a waiter approached us and with him, was a cake with three words that blew me away. It was so surreal. And by that time, I was sure that it was the greatest way to end a date.

The first February 14. The first to reserve that roof deck of Grand Astoria Hotel in Pasonanca. J How amazing is it to be in a huge place at the top of a building with nothing else but just a single elegantly arranged table of two chairs at the center, a heart-shaped pink cake with “I love You”, bouquet of flowers with candle lights? Not to mention a spotlight that would make you feel the most important lady in the world. And of course, the man you love on your first valentine’s dinner.

Thank you so much for that memorable evening. Surely, it wasn’t the grandest date of a lifetime or the most expensive. But I wouldn’t ask for more. Not when something like that was prepared wholeheartedly. J

The promise…

The promise is to stick together through thick and thin. No ifs. No buts.

No regrets, no holdbacks, no second thoughts…

Happy 1000 days, love!
