arigatou subarashiki sekai!

what makes a birthday memorable and happy?

a fancy celebration?

making wishes?

receiving gifts?

blowing candles?

people remembering?

meeting that special someone?

maybe

but ultimately it's when friends and family make you feel loved. Thanks much!

I was not looking forward to celebrating this year. I didn't want add another year just yet-not until i find/meet that special someone. I didn't want to count the days. I was not mindful of the days intentionally. And in the end, because there were no expectations or anything, the simplest of things all added up and gave me a warm and fuzzy feeling inside. thank you Lord for all the blessings! thank you Lord for family, friends, acquaintances, and even the trivial things... 

I have to be patient and understand that it might not yet be the time for the one I've been hoping, praying and craving for... but You showed me even without that I can be happy. still i must say, I hope someday soon... whenever that would be... :)

In another part of the globe it still is my birthday... Arigatou Subarashiki Sekai!

silver +1 now =)

Does anybody know how to hold my heart?

can't wait for Sara B's new album! :) i like king of anything and hold my heart so far... :)

Hold My Heart

I never meant to be the one to let you down
If anything, I thought I saw myself going first
I didn't know how to stick around
How to see anybody but me be getting hurt

I keep remembering the summer night
And the conversation breaking up the mood
I didn't want to tell you you were right
Like the season changing, oh, I felt it too

Does anybody know how to hold my heart
How to hold my heart?
'Cause I don't want to let go, let go, let go too soon

I want to tell you so before the sun goes dark
How to hold my heart
'Cause I don't want to let go, let go, let go of you

I'm not the kind to try to tell you lies
But the truth is you've been hiding from it too
I see the end sneaking in behind your eyes
Saying everything no words could ever do

Does anybody know how to hold my heart
How to hold my heart?
'Cause I don't want to let go, let go, let go too soon

I want to tell you so before the sun goes dark
How to hold my heart
'Cause I don't want to let go, let go, let go of you

Is anybody listening?
'Cause I'm crying
Is anybody listening?

Does anybody know how to hold my heart
How to hold my heart?
'Cause I don't want to let go, let go, let go too soon

I want to tell you so before the sun goes dark
How to hold my heart
'Cause I don't want to let go, let go, let go of you

lollipop!

it really looks yummy and i'm trying to find reasons to justify that it is not just some uncalled or wasteful spending for me! hahaha

LG lollipop

and they said it's target market is for 17-23 yrs old! hmmm... i can still fall under that right??? hehehe

counting down the days...

it'll be only a few days more until i turn silver+1... although i've said i stopped aging, here i go again.

restless
anxious
agitated
just like last year...
and now i'm having trouble sleeping... :(

I was dreaming/imagining things...
when I'll go home early because of a date
when I will be dressing up especially for someone (including dresses and skirts... i am really into girly stuff but not too keen on being teased etc)
when I have that special someone...

*sigh... oh well...

here's to hoping that this year's better than last! (not too much QLC i guess is a start...) Although I will not forget nor not acknowledge that despite everything there's so much to be thankful for...

now, please let me sleep rather nap... :(

Finish Strong

Derek Redmond- 1992 ollympics.....NEVER GIVE UP

This week's homily was really touching and hits a nerve. It was so nice of father to share with everyone the clip about Derek Redmond and the lesson that we can learn from his example. Although on reading some of his thoughts as to why he persevered despite the hamstring problem, saying that it was a selfish act on his part... overall, he showed the ability of the human spirit to triumph amidst seemingly insurmountable obstacles. In the end, it doesn't matter whether we finish first or last. It is how we survived and still manage to finish. A lesson so easy to forget when faced with trials and hardships. On top of it all, He is there ready to give us a helping hand, a shoulder to cry on, a body to lean and depend on. As I live through this life, I hope I embrace and live a strong, meaningful life. Let's all work towards that goal: whether we have to limp, hobble or crawl our way to the finish line, never give up and finish strong!

beautiful

since I rarely get the chance to update or I'm just plain lazy, here's a nice thought for this Friday the 13th :)

special month

August. even though i'm following JP's example by keeping in mind and telling other people that "i've actually stopped aging", I have mixed emotions about my birthmonth. Don't get me wrong it will always be a special month but sometimes when people, things make you feel your age or old for that matter it kind of sucks. I am grateful for the life I have and there's really no point in complaining. My family's the best and so far I have friends who I know I can run to and count on. Add the fact that they know me well and look out for me (when they get the chance). Sometimes, I actually don't really feel I am "that old" already but then it seems that it has its own way of catching up to you.

This year, I am not making plans. I am excited to celebrate another year and a special day but I am not excited when the numbers come into play. So in case, don't remind me! :) Here's my wishlist though: (hahaha)

iphone4
jackie ohh
lucy black/gold
scoob stripes
le pliage
shoes, shoes, shoes
and what else?
you should know if you know me. :) pray and wish that for me... I will definitely appreciate it... :)

makeover?

well, i'll be honest...
it started with the contacts
then the braces came off
then i got curls...
sana naman db...

so anxious and sad right now though... feel like i need a drink or company else i get depressed again...
