i need some time off

021412.

happy heart's day; alone but not lonely, i guess.

had a volunteer duty from 8am until 2pm. hurried to go back home to change and get some stuff because ze 'rents didn't inform me ahead of time that they'll leave home earlier than planned.. i could have prepared my stuff and put it in the car. i decided that i won't bring my cam because lappy's heavy enough to carry and besides, it's a burden carrying a lot of stuff when you're not riding a private car or a taxi, you know. (taxis are expensive and i'm practical. in short, i don't have a lot of money/i'm broke. hahaha!)

met up with Hannah in Ayala for a few minutes to get my notebook (thank you very much for making my requi, han!) and to give her something. after that, have to hurry to go to IT park to meet up with my parents. actually, they've waited for an hour for me in Ayala but i insisted that they should head first to IT park to look for a parking space before it gets full because of the concert (Martin and Sharon. mom's a BIG fan of Martin. ever since i can remember, she never missed a concert of him here in Cebu. gaaaahh?) when i arrived, we ate dinner then headed to Waterfront Hotel. stayed for a few minutes in the lobby before i decided to head back again to IT park.

went to Starbucks and turned on my lappy, but sadly, their wifi's not functioning so i decided to watch Nikita instead. after 2 hours, i got bored so i transferred to Coffeecat, but their wifi's effed up as well! about an hour after, Aiken arrived with her younger sister and just half an hour after they arrived, ze sister arrived 'to rescue me' because she thought i was all alone the whole night (which i didn't really mind, btw.)

at quarter to midnight, ze 'rents called us that the concert was done and that they're already heading to our car. my sister and i stood up on our feet, got out of the coffee shop and walked under the drizzle to get to our car which was parked 2 blocks away from where we stayed. (i kinda love walking these past few days because of the weather. there's something about it that's just so refreshing! like it gives you time to think and relax at the same time, don't you think?)

home.

..that's just how my valentine's day went. it's something unusual for me because for the past years, we always celebrate it as a whole family, but this year was something new. btw, i don't really mind trying something new every now and then. i believe it can help me to grow as person by learning a thing or two from it. :)

bucket list, one down!

btw, since i didn't bring my cam, i used my cellphone in taking photos which i enjoyed a lot. small and compact? now who wouldn't love that? (aheeepointandshooteeem, 'rents! hahahahaha!)

figure me out, please?

there are a lot of things going on in my mind right now, all at once.

i really don't know why, but right now, i feel so depressed and confused. sharing it to someone has helped somehow.

moody and quiet ballad of adele

chillin' with no make-up on.

currently drowning my self with music and with the darkness of the night. weather's a bit cold, coinciding with what i feel inside and with the music that's currently playing through the speakers.

moving on, about my to-do list: i'm still not done with my requirements, i decided i won't deactivate my fb account, i haven't made any playlists yet for my dear friends, but looking on the brighter side, i updated my blog-- the only thing i accomplished today! ha!

talking about playslists/music, i know i haven't been myself lately, but that's the only thing that keeps me inspired when i thought i've got nothing to be inspired about or when i thought i've got no energy or passion left. i know i'm NO music expert, but there's one thing i can say about it: it saved me more than i can ever remember. this reminds me of the conversation i had with my crazy friend, i told her i don't usually share music/songs/artists that saved me more than once from my problems or from my inner battles, so to speak, because of the fear of people overrating it which will eventually lead to the song losing it's meaning. selfish, eh? but she got what i meant.. instead, i like to share it to people who can really appreciate music, i added. now it reminds me of the story she said in reply that has something to do with facebook.. hahaha! (i know sometimes we get overwhelmed, but to the point you're like shoving it to other people's throat without any valid reason? na-ah!)

how we live our lives each day can make an impact, even if unseen.

as i was going through some of my favorite life/music blogs looking for inspiration, i found this video. i know i have a tendency to be selfish over things i totally admire/love (do you get what i mean? whether you do or don't, forgive me for that), but i just couldn't not share this.

hope it can inspire you as much as it inspired me today! have a nice Sunday!

just because i don't understand myself doesn't mean i'm totally lost.

there may be a lot of things i don't understand right now, but i know sooner or later, all my questions will be answered. (waiting, hoping, praying.)

breathe, note to self.

..hello there, my old skinny arms!

that moment when you suddenly feel like not doing anything at all.. depressing! 

(i laid on my bed and thought: where did all my energy and passion go? why do i feel like my life has no direction? what should i be doing instead of thinking? blah. blah. blah.) *sigh*

good old days

012812.

happy birthday dang and mitch! :)

two of my friends turned a year older last January 30 and 31. we met up at Parkmall days before their birthdays because we can't seem to find time during their exact birthdays due to our different life schedules. we chatted/laughed over lunch about our funny moments when we were still in high school. talking with them was a bliss since we really haven't done it in a long time.. gaaaah, i missed them!

It is one of the blessings of old friends that you can afford to be stupid with them.

Win new friends but keep the old ones. The first are silver; the latter gold.
