2015: Here's to the craziest year yet

2015 has been one hell of a crazy year for me, it has been a year of exploration, a year of pushing myself to try different things, of being my own true self without any self doubt and most especially, of me loving the value of traveling and going to places i have always dreamt of.

My Family, My Best Friend and Lover

I have been very grateful of all the under takings and short comings that i have experienced during the year that was, but i am more than thankful for the love and unending support of my family that really have pushed me to never be afraid of trying to do and achieved things that i am meant for. My family has always been my rock, i know that because of my hectic life due to my work, my dad often feels like i don't make time for them anymore, but God truly have blessed me with understanding parents that supports me financially and emotionally to help me go to to places i want - provided that i explore, experience and embody the places, the people and most especially the lives i need to touch.

To my half and half (halfsies) best friend, my sounding board - i am thankful to God for making you stay in my life. For being patient and never forgetting that though we dont see each other that often, you always make sure that coffee nights and brief days will always be our thing. To more love, talks and cups of coffee. I will forever be here for you and will never be tired of picking up the pieces of your thoughts for you -  Du Bist Mein Libster Freund.

To my lover and other half (we're not yet married okay.) Thanks for being patient to me, for understanding that my work needs most of my time, thank you for loving me without any requirements, for being designated surprise person. I hope that our relationship stays strong, dont worry, i will never get tired of being your cheerleader and will always remind you about your dreams and aspirations throughout our way. 


My Work

I'm also very thankful for all the people that have brought out the best in me in 2015, i am forever grateful to my family at work. To my colleagues who turned into my friends and eventually became my family, thank you very much for all the pieces of advice all of you have shared with me. For never hesitating to mentor me with such passion and concern. 

To my 2 mentors/friends - I am forever grateful for having 2 older siblings in the office - my best ate and best kuya at work. They have been truly the path that paved my way to grab opportunities and never hesitated to teach me how to light up a room with humour and wit. To adventures and multiple envelopes in the future. I am forever grateful. 

To my other boss - to that one mentor who have pushed me to be the best me, who taught me how to speak in front of people without fear (and without being sing-song-y), i will never forget the times we have spent 2015 together) for showing me the world-literally- to more adventures together!

To my main boss, if you get to know her more, i know that all of you will look up to her with awe in your faces. She truly is that kind of boss, who will push you to greater heights, of being able to speak with your thoughts while still maintaining your passion and your heart on your sleeve. To everything i am and will be, i will forever look up to her.

Here's to the craziest year yet! Thank you for all the bumps and stop overs; to more adventures and memories; thank you for reminding me that there will always be people who will doubt and bring you down: thank you for always believing that I am stronger and capable of dreaming and doing big things; thank you for a great run 2015. You were truly insane!!!


Hey 2016, are you ready for me? let's do this!

An Extrovert's Introvert Cheek

I was never an introvert by choice. I guess my repeated failures in human inter action, failing to meet socially acceptable standards was also not a choice. The fact of being in a circle without really being IN the circle was never the less unfathomable by the hands of reality by which we all live in. Sometimes extroverts like me also has another side of its cheek, its not as if my face has a sign that says "SHE is an extrovert. She always laughs when needed (seldom not needed, but still), says Joke when appropriate, and even curses when she feels like it. She is an extrovert, binded by the surface in which her soul belongs too, that when you are a big person you must always be the laughing stock or you must always be a clown or that she wont feel the half truth in every joke you said. Yes She is an extrovert. Funny. But still complicated." yes i guess thatā€™s the sign all people i know see in me, but deep within my angst and humour i guess the (quote)" intelligent...

The world, The wonder

Beneath my Feet's View by BananaChipsLoveStory's N It never ceases to amaze me what the layers of this world holds, deeper beauty lies behind every crack in the pavement. Below the murmur of a crowd, a symphony. A smile from an elderly woman at the bus stop is more than mismatched teeth and wrinkled skin, it is more beautiful than the Mona Lisa herself (Perhaps that is why she grins so knowingly?) All we have to do is Stop. Close our eyes and our preconceptions of the mundane mask of our surrounds, listen to the laugh. To the chirp. To the wind as it teases the branches of a tree that has seen more than any of us care to have noticed. The way the light plays against a discarded tin can as it rolls down the gutter has more elegance than the brightest rainbow, these arcs of mist-bent light are far too showy and arrogant. The tin canā€™s glitter is fragile and fleeting, better to witness itā€™s rarity and marvel at the man made dancing with nature Behold the...
