Memory is Round

Photos were taken four months ago by my bff Jed. We went downtown when Galleon Andalucia visited Cebu. This was probably my third time visting Fort San Pedro, a fortress built during Spanish Colonial times. Outfit shots at the end of this post were taken by my sister,Liezyl. I'm too tired to write but Alan Lightman knows exactly how I feel right now. I'll leave you with an excerpt/quote from one of the greatest book I have read. 

Suppose time is a circle, bending back on itself. The world repeats itself, precisely, endlessly.

“In the world which time is a circle, every handshake, every kiss, every birth, every word, will be repeated precisely”

- Alan Lightman -

Kurt Cobain

He could have been 44 years old today. The legacy lives on for the father of grunge rock and roll. He gave us the greatest music and band of all time.

Happy Birthday Kurt Donald Cobain!

What would be the 90's without them? 

I am the color of Jaded

I value my friends way too much that it hurts me so bad when they single me out of their lives & here I am following them ’round like a sick, sad puppy begging fer a piece of bone. =[

There's nothing perfectly wrong when friends get into a relationship but what irritates me sometimes is that they tend to single me out. They only look for me when they don't have anything to do with their boyfriends. I'm always the second option and it was never like that when the boy was not yet in the picture. Trust me, I'm happy and supportive with my friends blossoming love life. However, I just cant' feel bad when they don't spend their precious time with me. Gone are the days when we laugh at the silliest things, get mushy with all the Hollywood cheese-ball movies, complain with food calories, discuss the books we've read and just spend time being together. Am I being selfish?! 

What I'm wearing:

Blazer: Thrifted

Top: Thrifted

Pants: Bench

Oxfords: Parisian

Bag: For Me

Accessories: Bought in a Bazaar 

Like Water for Chocolate

The title is from a book by Laura Esquivel and definitely one of my favorite reads. No, this is not a case of art imitating life. It's also not about me acting the same with the protagonist Tita who longs to marry her lover. In some ways we may be the alike but let us not digress. This is how days are spent when it's pay day or something like it. We tend to splurge and become one day millionaires. Don't we all deserve to treat ourselves after all the hard work? It's our hard earned money after all. Of course, any money on the bank should stay on the bank. Saving for the rainy days is really important. Trust me, it's not easy living paycheck by paycheck. Trying to survive the day with only a penny in your pocket is the worst thing that can happen to a member of the working class. We always learn it the hard way and life's never been easy. If there's a shortcut to an easy life, please show it to me.With that being said, are we wrong in treating ourselves once or thrice in a month? I don't really think so. It's all about having a balanced lifestyle and sticking to your budget. It ain't easy as 1,2,3 especially if you come across a shoe haven but the trick is to control the urges.Speaking of which, if there's one kind of urge I cannot really control - it would be eating chocolates. They say chocolates have endorphines or the happy hormones but it's not just the main reason why I love eating them almost every day. You can't blame me. I just love chocolates. Imagine my happiness when Chocolatier opened a shop here in our place. It made me felt all giddy like a kindergarten kid in a toy store. Every item in the menu is chocolate based and it's really sinfully delicious plus the price is economical. Doesn't burn a hole in your pocket but might add inches to your waist. ;)

The Hours with Mr. Ricky Lee

There's no such thing as writer's block according to Mr. Ricky Lee. If you have been following this little blog then you would know that the person writing this had a little trip to her Alma Mater, The Cebu Normal University. Yesterday being Valentines day was a festive day for lovers and the single blessedness. Every hopeless romantics around the world was busy writing love notes, preparing/booking dinner or buying chocolates and flowers for their special someone plus all the fancy pancy. I, on the other hand did not have any romantic date like the ones you see in Hollywood cheese-ball movies. But, I had spent the most valuable four hours with no other than Mr. Ricky Lee himself. To say that this year's Valentines date is the best is an understatement. It can't get any better. Strolling down memory lane during college days with Lester and Chellet. The lecture and of course having your book signed with one of the writer that shaped Philippine cinema and literature. What more can a literati ask for? Recollecting on college days with my creative writing class, we had a "Where I'm writing from" exercise and it took me four years to fully understand what it was all about. Writers write from their own time and from their own place. I also remember a kindred soul telling me that I'm an existentialist. I need to exist to write. Maybe I really am and there's nothing with it. Since I already existed, I had to kill myself to live again. Everything that has happened to me, I pour it all out whole heartedly on this blog. I cannot write about something that I have not experience. It's the same in giving something we never had.  I killed myself a lot of times. I've lived a thousand lives and that's all for the love of writing. My life is my work. 

PS:
Thanks for dropping by. Photo bombs away!

Versatile Blogger Award on Valentines Day

To be honest, I have been blogging since I was in high school. I deleted it or maybe I don't remember the username and password but it's just a memory now. I started blogging again which is mostly about my everyday life. Writing is indeed cathartic, sharing my life to the rest of the world wide web, one post at a time. I was given the Versatile Blogger Award from My Eye and Tereza Anton .

In this case you have to:
a. once you receive an award, thank back and link the person that nominated you, of course!
b. list 7 things abou you.
c. and finally nominate another 10 bloggers yourself!


So here are 7 facts about me:

I love literature. I even have a date with Ricky Lee today. He's the special person I was talking about!

Shoes make me happy. Who doesn't? (photo lifted from http://raymondgutierrez.tumblr.com/)

I claim to be the number one supporter of the Philippine football team popularly known as the Azkals!

Enjoys a scoop of happiness that an ice cream and any sweets can give.

Ian Somerhalder is the reason why I joined twitter. He is such a hottie and who doesn't love Damon in TVD?!

Can't leave the house without em!

My favorite movie of all time would have to be Across the Universe. It's the Beatles Man! Plus the ending was just awesome an apt for today. All you really need is love. :)

Take me to the place I love, Take me all the way

First four pictures were captured by Niccolo Stevens and the other four is by Jed Oyangoren. It's raining Siamese today and I miss hanging out with those boys. Pictures were taken from last weekend and thought of sharing it to you today. I'm just lazing around this Sunday and tomorrow being Valentines day is not really a big deal for me. I have work and I have a date with a very special person.  How's your weekend so far? :)
