Thoughts on Love



Love can have different meanings. It could just be a dream or illusion to those who are still hopeful to find it. It could be nothing and just a word to those who don't believe in it. It could mean happiness to those who have found it. It could be pain to those who have been hurt by it. Or it could also be a drug that can make your world go crazy. 

For me, LOVE is just a word until someone comes along and gives it meaning.


But whatever it is, nothing truly beats the feeling of being in love. As the saying goes, "you have not lived, if you haven't loved." That feeling when everything just seems to have a meaning, when each morning or day makes it worth waking up to, when just the smallest things make you smile and when everything just feels so right.

Oh how I miss this feeling!

What Happened to Chivalry?

I want John Cusack holding a boombox for me outside my window.


I wanna ride off a lawnmower with Patrick Dempsey.


I want Jake from Sixteen Candles waiting outside the church for me.


I want Judd Nelson thrusting his fist into the air because he knows he got me.


Just once I'd like my life to be like an 80's movie,
preferably one with a really awesome musical number for no apparent reason.



But no, no, John Hughes did not direct my life.

I Love the Nightlife

I live for the nights I can't remember with Friends I'll never forget.

For those One Night where all your problems are set aside.

An ode to those nights of reckless abandon; living young & wild & free.

My Lenten Sacrifice

So, it's the Lenten season once again. Read so much about things people are willing to give up for 40 days on twitter. I've read about abstaining from sex and self-gratification, not logging in to Facebook, no alcohol and cigarette and so many more. They say giving up certain types of luxury or fasting is a form of penitence for our sins. It's 40 days from Ash Wednesday to Easter Sunday so that explains why it has to be that long.

Never really practiced this though for the past years, but I'm willing to give it a try this time. I was actually thinking of not smoking since it would be perfect for my terrible cough and sore throat but I don't think I'll last till the 40th day. For sure once am okay I'll start lighting one stick again. Also thought of not shopping for make-up/clothes/shoes but already promised my friends that I'll come by their store opening and private sale this weekend.  

NO RICE FOR 40 DAYS! This would be my sacrifice. Yes, I've already started on lessening my rice intake for 3 weeks now. There are days where I won't take rice but once a Filipino Dish with sauce is served, I forget  and give-in to it again. God, it really is hard to eat without rice specially dishes with sauce. It feels incomplete, not being able to pour the sauce over the rice then mixing it..yum yum! (specially soy sauce and tomato based foods) I have to stop there, if I go on and on about how I love rice then it's not gonna help me with this sacrifice thing.

Let's see if I can do this for 40 days without being tempted. May our Boracay trip this April be an added source of motivation for me to resist rice. This is gonna be hard, I hope our cook cooperates with me on this and stop cooking foods that are best paired with rice. I'll update you on how this goes. 

How about you guys? What are you sacrificing?

Going Out of the Ordinary

Today, I was finally able to squeeze in a manicure in between my errands. Usually I would always go for shades of red or pink. I think most girls do as well cause it's a safe choice and goes well with all occassion / season. But this time, I suddenly  wanted something different, something I've never tried on before just for a change


Here's what I picked...It's from Orlys' Foil FX Collection. It's Rage in Rose Gold. Ain't it pretty?


( Not my actual nails, since pics on the net looks better. )


I'm gald I experimented cause I love it! I would never know how it would look on my nails if I hadn't tried them.


It's always good to try new things once in awhile. Take risk, dont be scared to experiment, break free from the routine and be open to changes.

Change is always scary and risky for we do not know what the outcome will be. But maybe just like my polish you'll learn to love it and who knows it may even be better than the one you got used to.


XOXO,

The LOVE Month

It really is the month of hearts as two of my friends both in a long distance relationship just got engaged. I couldn't be more happy for them as they would be marrying the man they love. Truly love knows no boundaries and distance. If two people are meant to be together no space, time or miles can separate them.

But with my happiness comes a little bit of sadness and envy. I wonder when will the time come for me? Everyone in my age or batch is married, engaged or in a relationship. It makes me think, "am I being left behind?" When everyone else is happily committed and have found their significant other, here I am still single for 3 yrs and currently not dating anybody.


Is it still possible to find true love? With those series of dissapointments, deceits, and failures I think I have lost hope. Oh and add those stories of guys cheating on their gf's..is there still a chance? Sometimes I think maybe love isn't for me, is there even such a thing? Well maybe i'm just being a pessimist again, all those optimism that it will come at the right time blah blah blah has faded as time passed by.

Life as they say is full of surprises, maybe one day I'll be able to find someone who'll teach me how to trust again, how to let someone in and what it truly means to fall in love.

Forgive me for being emo on Valentines. ( I think most singles are) I hope next year of this month I'd be able to write about the perfect date I had with my special someone. *cross fingers*





XOXO,
