I'm already 23 years old. Young to have experienced it all, yes. But old enough to know things even when it doesn't necessarily directly apply to me.  Blogged: April 7, 2012  Well, being left alone as to say. Let me tell you a story. I used to have this Vietnamese friend from Sydney, Australia. I met him when I decided I wanted to study French (I still do) and I would be willingly teach that person English/Japanese/Filipino. Well this guy wanted to learn Japanese. He didn't teach me French because he only knows English but he was actually awesome. He's very down to earth, kind, bubbly, sweet, and everything you could ask for. We used to talk everyday, every effing night for let's say 2 years. I actually ended up not teaching him the language at all haha. We talk about the most random stuff. Like, sometimes he would call and not say anything at all. And we're fine with that. Sweet silence. Most of the time he would say sweet things, we listen to his or my playlis...

I am a fan of "sours" lately. Basically these are Japanese alcoholic cocktails that are super yummy. Ume sour is probobly my favorite. I don't know. There's just something with ume and myself lately. Should I find a non-alcoholic version of an ume drink, I'm down for it. I'm such a responsible adult that I even told my mom about it. I told her I was drinking it that moment and that it is alcoholic. No reply. Haha Can we just appreciate this a little bit? I mean, this is serious business. The clouds ringing the mountains looks gorge! Little things like this, ugh! Makes my heart jump, really. Anyways what I really want to do is that I want to talk with you about this. You know I have this crush at work, right? I mean, he's cute but for some reason, without us even talking, my aunties think that I'm like head over heels already. I mean, I'm not that desperate. I don't feel like that towards him you know. I just don't get why they would think o...

I  feel kind of lost yet again. I hate this kind of feeling you know. But then again, who wakes up in the morning and look forward to feeling lost, right? I just think that as I grow older, I feel lost the more, you know. On a perfect world, you should be able to find yourself as you age but this world I think is not that kind of world. That's why there are a lot of point in our lives when we can attach the word -crisis. Mid-life, mid-twenties, mid-thirties, mid-fourties, and so on! So I guess I'm not alone. But also, there are different types of crisis. So I don't know if feeling lost is something they are not actually going through and you know, stuff like that. Stuff that only consumes my time and mind. One of that is considering moving to Tokyo. That's actually mild. On a more wilder side of things, I'm considering moving to the United States. But not like anytime soon. Pero you know! Those kind of things I think about. I will lean towards the positive side thou...

Right! Like, it really annoys me when people say they hate someone especially if they're just the same in my book. Like, when people say something to someone because of something that that someone did that the certain someone didn't like. And then he or she complains, I'd be like WTF is going on? Like, seriously. When I'm ultra close to that someone, I'd be very much eager to remind him or her of a certain happening when he or she did exactly the same. Like, in your face. But to those I don't really know much, oh well. That's life. I guess it's really a tough world. People trying to be the only one of their kind and hating the rest who are copying, eh? Well. Oh well. It can also be the other way around though. Sometimes the one copying is the one hating. And I don't see the point. Like, sometimes, it happens. And sometimes I don't see the point. I can just imagine how there would be a lot of group of friends and stuff ...

It seems like impossible but you'll get over it. At some point, after giving it your all for the longest time, you'll get tired of struggling to get someone or someone back or whatnot. But the good news is, you'll realize that one day, you're just wasting your time over that someone who doesn't even give a dang or dang anymore. It may seem unfair that they don't give us their time and stuff but thinking about it, we're actually being unfair mostly to ourselves for denying ourselves the happiness and the freedom to enjoy life. But that's another story. At some point in your life, you will feel alone. THAT'S PROBABLY TRUE. But that doesn't mean you are! You just have to re-establish your thinking. Like, don't think that you'll be with that person you want to be with and you'll notice that there are a lot more out there. I'm not saying that you should get them all and stuff but the point is, stop trying to get someon...

I feel kind of sad today. If you still remember Mocha, our house pet. Well, I'll just link you here . One of her babies actually passed away earlier this morning (091012). That puppy didn't really show much strength and all that. We would always have to guide her to her mother's breast for her to feed and stuff and if not, she would just always stay at the corner of the birth tub. The thing is that the other baby is actually the opposite of the other baby. She would always go and feed herself and as a result, the size of the baby who survived is actually half as much as that of that passed away. I feel sad for Mocha. This might be a little disturbing but mom asked me to remove the dead puppy in the tub and when I lifted the puppy, Mocha still licked her as a sign of love and all that. And that's just sad. Yesterday, that puppy didn't show much sign of life, and by that I mean, she's just so weak and looks like she's not gonna survive and all...

I just want to say that we should be wiser when it comes to things. I know that there are quite a lot of things that we don't have a control over but yeah we should try. And I'm not actually referring to scientific stuff like our heartbeat, breathing, blinking, and stuff. Nothing like that. You know! Some emotional stuff. It's just that, life is too good and short to waste on stuff that does not do anything for us at all. Let's say, CIGARETTES. I have nothing against people who smoke or anything but I'm just saying. Well, not only that it is not doing anything for you but it actually harms you and stuff. Not only you! It harms the person next to you. I know you don't care whether or not strangers would be sick and stuff from it but yeah. Not only that you're generally unhealthy, you're also generally selfish. HOW SAD. And with cigarette smoking, if it's kind of gone, people actually become kind of emotional and all that. Of co...

I actually forgot these babies! Classy! :) I don't know what I was thinking when I suddenly decided to show my Shoop collection and forget about these. I love love these! Like, I can pretty much use it anytime, anywhere. You can use it in a formal event without being casual and you can use it in a casual event, without being formal. Voila!

Guess what? I'm ready to show my Shoop collection! :) And I'll show them to you in the order I got them. Of course! All courtesy of my auntie. Thanks tita (auntie in Filipino). :) Me loves you so much! As you can see from the bag, Shoop's logo is like that. It's like a girl with an afro hair, long and thick eyelashes, pouting lips, a big earring, and a mole. Or at least that's how I would describe it. Pretty awesome, huh? YUP. This one is kind of special since my auntie gave one to my cousin too. We're like twins! LOL. What I don't like about this bag is that it doesn't have a stopper on the zipper. So if you're careless, there's a big chance that you're gonna open the whole thing. Do you get what I mean? :/ The so-awesome jacket that is very awesome. LOL. So redundant. Seriously though, this had helped me survive the freezing temperature of UST mezzanine's main building. And I like it because it's cut is not ...

I don't remember much things about my previous years in college. Quite frankly, seriously. But of course, I know by much when I was still in high school or probably even my first few years in college. I am not here for nothing! LOL I clearly remember though, it was very early in the morning and it was for a physics class that our general algebra, physics, and bio statistics professor mentioned this (all the same person). *Refer to the picture* I knew it made an impact because all my disoriented and sleepy classmates (including me)  kind of made a funny sound. Some of us even laughed. How relevant it is to daily life. That now leads me to my point. Isn't it so frustrating when someone you used to really really really know became just another stranger? Like for example, a high school friend or the like? Or for example, when you used to talk to someone on the phone for 3-4 hours everyday for like 5-6 months and then suddenly that someone stopped calling? And after y...
