#30ThingsILove

Since I cannot sleep yet and the moon is bright. I’ve been scrolling my news feed on twitter and seeing my friends keep on posting on this trending topic, so I decided to ride on this hash tag #10ThingsILove. Chichi (that’s my dog) was lying on her back, paws straight up in the air, when she rolled over, yawned, and said to me, in her puppy way, “Mom, I love you. You’re awesome.” And she’s right. Hihihi to make this kind of my own, I decided to make a list of #30ThingsIReallyLove, from the sort of shallow to the deeply ingrained. I hope you’ll all do the same (about yourselves, not me) in the comments! :))

1. When people sing the songs of your favorite band to you (even they swear they hate them) 
2. Ponytails in the summer 
3. Hand written letters and doodles 
4. When people say "you look nice today" even if they see you every day 
5. Surprises 
6. Kisses on the cheek and holding hands 
7. Getting lost in music while I shower 
8. Reading through memories in last year's planner 
9. Rain when I'm indoors The smell crisp of new book 
10. How it feels to stick one foot out of your blanket 
11. Coffee and Milk tea while I read or write 
12. The photo booth pictures I’ve got tacked up on the inside of my cabinet doors 
13. When people say "this reminds me of you" 
14. Roses and Tulips 
15. Shopping (clothes, shoes, accessories, watches and bags) 
16. Watching my favorite movies over and over again. 
17. Looking at old family pictures and reliving happy memories 
18. My loyal and cray cray friends 
19. Quotes that inspire me 
20. Seeing people smile. It makes me happy to see other people happy. 
21. The wind in my face on a warm day 
22. True deep felt genuine hugs 
23. My dog. It’s not just her absolutely adorable faces, but the fact that I have had her for years, and she still greet me at the door every day like she haven’t seen me in years. She really is the best stress relievers and just happiness boosters in general. 
24. Food. I enjoy trying out new restaurants. I especially love the role food plays in my life it definitely fosters conversation and it essentially brings people together….and it is deeelicioius :) 
25. Good, witty, random, talk-for-hours like I haven’t seen you in ages type of conversation 
26. Feeling well-rested after a much needed nap 
27. Life. The beauty of it. No matter how bad things get, there is always something beautiful to keep us going forward. 
28. Random acts of kindness 
29. The people in my life. I’m truly blessed.

I’m that GIRL

I’m the girl who prefers a dozen of roses instead of a one or two.

 I’m the kind of girl whose hair is always a mess.

 I’m the girl who could live in the mall and never get tired of shopping.

 I'm the girl who will spend hours doodling her name on a paper trying to find a good way to write.

 I’m the girl who likes to stay home reading a book and falls in love with fictional characters.

 I’m the girl who always thinks time is going by too fast, and wishes every good moment could last a lifetime.

 I’m the girl who puts on a smile because she doesn’t want the attention of someone asking her what’s wrong.

 I’m the girl who would rather go out on a Friday night with close friends than got to a wild party with random strangers.

 I’m the type of girl who wants to fall in love with one person and have him for the rest of her life.

 I’m the girl who would enjoy having a movie night rather than going out to some fancy restaurant.

 I’m the girl who would rather stay up all night talking and sharing secrets with you than going out and getting drunk.

 I’m the girl who loves to sleep but reads all through the night.

 I’m the girl who is loyal and has their backs no matter what…the girl who will get in a fight with you but who is not really the fighting type.

 I’m the girl that loves romantic movies because it makes her smile and cry, loves comedy because it makes her laugh, and loves action because it makes her heart jump.

 I'm the girl who will cry in the middle of the night and still insist that everything is fine.

 I’m the girl who has her music so loud when she takes her headphones on she goes deaf for awhile.

 I’m the girl that believes in magic, in wishing at 11:11, who believes everything happens for a reason.

 I’m the girl who loves to stare in the sky, close her eyes and daydream about how her life could be.

 I’m the girl who won’t make you hold her bag, but would rather hold your hand instead.

 I’m the girl who is incredibly weird but you really wanna meet.

 I’m the girl who appreciates little simple gestures, than going too far of trying to impress me by doing something big.

 I’m the girl smart enough and beautiful enough (I think) to never be taken for granted and to never be anyone’s second best.

 I’m the girl who has always wished a prince would come on a white horse and sweep me off my feet.

 I’m the girl who will listen to you, but never judge you. The kind of girl who, once I know you, will help you through anything, as much as I can. The type who doesn’t like to see people hurt, even though she’s hurting so much on the inside.

 I’m the girl who doesn’t care if its a million dollars bag, a book from book sale or a homemade, handwriting card as long as you thought of me.

 I’m the girl who watches a movie like I’m watching my life unfold on the screen in front of me.

 I’m the girl believes in love and romance. She has hopes and fears, just like anyone. Sometimes, she feels frightened. Sometimes, she feels unloved. But she’s brave, and goodhearted, and faces her life head on.

 I’m the girl who is not plain, yet nothing special, but I don’t think anyone is ever going to call me beautiful. I don’t have that graceful thing going on. Apart from a simple, fashionable taste in clothes, and the fact that I’m a bit short, there’s not a lot separating me from anyone you might pass in the street. An ordinary girl, leading an ordinary life. It actually suited me fine.

 I’m the girl who is selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes and at times hard to handle. But if you can handle me at my worst, then I’m sure as hell you can handle me at my best.

I’m happy, I’m sensitive, I’m nothing, I’m lazy, I cry, I tear, I laugh, I annoy, this is my life and I like that way.

 And yes, I’m the kind of girl who posts this cheesy text post on my personal blog because she can’t post it anywhere else.

 I’m me…and I’m not sorry. If you don’t like the kind of girl I am, I will try not to be hurt and keep on being me without changing to please someone else.

 Soooo…Yeah! That’s the kind of GIRL I am!! :))

My 2013 Guidelines

I've been good. I've been bad. I've been naughty. I've been nice. I've been up. I've been down. I've lost. I've triumphed. I laughed. I cried. I took a big leap and occasionally look back from where I came from. I let go.

It is New Year! It is 2013. Whatever 2012 was for you and me, we need to be thankful that we're still alive and we have a chance to change ourselves and the world (nah that might be too heavy for some! haha). The year 2012 was a roller coaster of emotions. I would be very happy at one moment but I would be crying thereafter. But I am still thankful that I was given another year. I got to learn new things, did a few things that I've never done before, been to places, met some good people and spent time with my loved-ones.

Everything happens for a reason. We may not understand the reason behind a particular situation but we will eventually realize what it was for. It has its own purpose why it was given to us. I'm speaking from my own personal experience and as well as the events that had surrounded our country the past year. We may not be able to change everything in a snap or a blink of an eye but we can be an instrument for that change. Change should start within us.

As usual, my intro sounds so heavy but really it is not. Hihi! I've gotta make some changes in my life. How do people call it? "New Year's Resolution" ?? I'd rather call it my 2013 Guidelines. This is not my first time to make a new year's resolution. In fact, what's new about this year is that this might be the first time I'll follow one. HAHA I made this yesterday when I got home from sundate with some friends. I can't sleep, ahh!! I made this out of spontaneity. Everything was just flowing. What's good about it is that I am aware of what to change and what to not. I'm kind of ambivalent though because I think 2013 is the turning point of my life. I hope soooo...I take the boards last December 2012 and I'm not yet even sure if I can make it with flying colors. I need to pass it or even top it. Yes! I'm not setting limitations for myself. I do the friggin’ best that I can! Oh good Lord, please give my RN license to me!! It's my number one and only choice.

Ergo, for me to succeed this year, I have to be guided by the following.

2013 Guidelines:

1. Never miss nor be late for a Sunday mass.
2. Rekindle relationship with God by constantly communicating with him.
3. Learn the GREAT gap between a "want" and a"need".
4. Realize that the best things in life are free. Be less materialistic.
5. Manage time wisely.SERIOUSLY. YUNG TOTOO NA.
6. Remove the word procrastination from my vocabulary.
7. Reflect on the gift of everyday.
8. Start healthy living. Lessen eating fatty foods and meat! Eat more fruits and vegetables instead. Gaaaaah!THIS IS THE HARDEST.
9. Jog at least once a week.
10. Fix my room at least twice a week.
11. Read more books apart from those for academic purposes.
12. Write. Blog. Express my thoughts even more. It's my way of unloading my feelings and it does help.
13. Lessen my McDonald's/fastfood food trips.
14. Be nice and smile more.
15. Pamper myself once in a while. A good massage, facial, out of town getaway, not so much with food.
16. Be a more relaxed driver. Understand other motorists for being so stupid on the road.
17. Drive slower. Don't step too much on gas pedal. As requested by my dad. OK FINE!
18. Not aim to be the best but try my very best.
19. Breathe, chill, and relax.
20. SAVE! SAVE! SAVE! We don't know what will happen next.
21. Accept other people as they are. I'm not thinking highly of myself. It's just that I'm not very comfortable with "some" people.
22. Watch concerts. I hope I can...I need tooo much penny!!! Sponsors puhleeeease!!:'(
23. Have good clean fun. I can only live once. YOLO.
24. Don't let time and chance slip by because I'm too sleepy.
25. Be more assertive.
26. Remove the word procrastination from my vocabulary.
27. As this cliche goes, LIVE. LOVE. LAUGH. Enjoy life! Carpe diem!

I'll add more just in case. How about you? What are your 2012 guidelines?

Let's all stay positive and start the year right. :)

#50factsaboutme

So, as some of you know, this is one of those things a bunch of people are doing on Facebook notes and lately, become one of the'trending topics' on twitter. I can't sleep yet, so I decided to ride on this Twitter trending hashtag #50factsaboutme. Listing 50 useless, random facts about myself that no one actually cares about. I haven't blogged in a while, so I decided to come up with 50 facts about me. I made few months ago, HERE. This will be a challenge because I'm not all that interesting. Or at least I don't think I am. While I managed to resist literally sending/flooding 50 tweets with facts about myself, I started thinking this might be a fun topic for a blog post.

Tad of RANDOM about the blogger...

Since I have nothing to write I decided in making some RANDOM FACTS about the BLOGGER. Hihihi :))
I'm kinda bored here! 

First, as far as I am concerned, I have been living my life to fullest and I love it!

*I prefer watching movie to reading a book. Yeah! I'm a movie buff. But, wait that principle change lately, coz' when I became hooked on the book I can't stop reading.

Random BLOGGER. :)

*I have a big heart for fashion. I love shoes, bags and clothes.

*Everything around me has to be neat and properly arrange. I'm kinda an OC person but in a good way.

*I prefer dry seasons than the wet ones because I find it hassle for me whenever it rains.

*I take a bath at least two times a day irregardless of the weather coz' I cannot sleep without at least washing up first.

* I want to reinvent myself. I think change is good.

* I love to write, less speak and express myself in thoughts and words.

*There are people always thinks I'm unapproachable and snobbish when they first see me. Because I'm a silent person and I have this kind of persona that I don't talk unless that person talk to me first. If I talked to you first, it means I want to be friends with you but it rarely happens. :p But I hope they change their minds after the times they spent with me.

*I'm not the type who always says "I Love You" to friends or family personally. But, If I say it through text or letters, its true! Of course, I mean it. :)

*I don't mind being with different cliques, I don't limit myself with one group. It's good to chat with different people, it helps me learn and grow as a person.

*I super love sweets!! Chocolates, cakes, candies, ice cream. Name it!! I have a sweet tooth. :))

*I'm not fond of anything made with ube unless it's an ice cream.

*I would love to learn to dance unfortunately dancing does not reciprocate my feeling on it! Hehe :P

*I am a dreamer and believer. I want to do so much in my life, and feel one lifetime isn't enough for all the wonderful things there is to do in this earth.

*I always have this panic button ready to be pressed every single time depending on the situation I was.

*What I am now has been the product of a series of giddy and bittersweet moments of my life.

*Maybe I'm the worst person I know to keep in touch with. Why?? because I'm not fond of attending reunions and parties unless it's with close friends and family. The introvert in me is kicking in. Haha

*I'm a super dog lover. I love dogs! I have a  dog, chi-chi, who is the baby of our family.

*I love beaches and oohhh, the picture of white sand and blue clear water.

*I'm very loyal to my family and friends and would fight if someone done bad to them. I could care less what other people say about me as long as they don't target the people I love!

*I am extreme of personalities. I can be the most bubbly person now and a cross over later. But I do a good job concealing with that matters.

*Those people who know me think I have problem or bad mood when I keep quiet. I don't think silence is a bad thing. Also it helps make things not getting worst.

*I'm not used sleeping alone. I used to share a room with my ever favorite sister.

*I must say I'm more of a daddy's girl even though I have a close bond with both mommy and daddy. 

*I care even when people think I don't.

*I am more a listener than a talker. Like a writer than an actor! But, sometimes I used to give out my opinions. 

*I don't give up easily. But I learned sometimes waiting is a better choice. It helps you grow in ways you never think you would.

*I think the strongest, most important thing in this world is LOVE and TRUST, not money it was people necessity.

*Little things make me happy and when these accumulate they become enormous...and that makes it most special. That's why my friends always told me that I'm "mababaw ang kaligayahan". I appreciate even the smallest thing you do for me. Even just simple "Hi! or Hello!" makes me feel appreciated and I highly value it.

*I'm very easy to please. Little things to some it's nothing, but for me it's SOMETHING. :))

*I'm a sucker of good foods. Good foods gives me an unexplainable happiness.

*I believe in the need for a little bittersweet in life. It's those moments of life that make everything else goes smoothly.

*I'm a fan girl!! That's my favorite role. I love Korean stuffs and dramas, series, movies.

*I know I'm not the most lucky and fortunate of all people, but I know how to live with it and I'm okay!! :)) Fighting!!

*I ultimately adore roses and tulips.

*I admire those guys who have good character and personality, sense of humor and who knows how to handle conversation...but HUMBLE.

*I easily find attractive guys whose kinda bad boy but with soft heart deep inside and humble gentleman type guys with a good taste of fashion.

*I love my family and friends even though sometimes they are usually the source of my problems. I don't exactly know how to quantify HOW and WHY I love them all, just know I do. :)) 

LASTLY, I think this facts about myself is way too much information. So...that's all I have to say. ^.^

Like I said, Randoms.
