Secret Anniversary ProjectEver since I got here in Sydney I've been scouring flea markets, novelty and souvenir shops, and Chinese/ 2 dollar stores for a boomerang with a design that has stars on it for the boyfriend, to no avail. About a couple of weeks ago, I chanced upon a store that sells DIY boomerangs (ok, it was more of paint-it-yourself) and decided to personalise my gift instead. This is

I love watching movies with fairytale endings, but movies like 500 days of Summer and Little Black Book are the real deal. They remind you that life will always get in the way of our perfect lovestory but if you're with the person you're supposed to be with... if your relationship is built on friendship, commitment, and those other LITTLE things that have nothing to do with love, you'll survive! ♥

But now, how is it possible to be in a long distance relationship when he is here in Manila as well? I've been

I was in the process of writing a short essay on being single a couple of weeks ago and was happily doing fine on my own when I got distracted by one text message which totally blindsided me (again!).It was a short and very casual message from the Ex asking me out, just because he doesn't have any "business" at school. In a nutshell we spent a great afternoon together as if the break up never

US Open Women's ChampionThe epitome of the cliche: "Try and try until you succeed". Belgian Kim Clijsters at last won her first Grand Slam after 5 tries on a one-sided match against Mary Pierce. One of WTA's best players finally made her mark on Centre Court.US Open Men's ChampionRoger Federer gracefully added another Grand Slam to his already impressive collection of titles defeating no less

Once upon a time, in a faraway land, there was a shy wallflower who lived with her circus clown and two tone deaf singers.The shy wallflower dreamed of going to Paris, and owning a hot air balloon, but her circus clown was always stealing her pancakes, making these dreams seem darn near impossible to achieve. Plus her two tone deaf singers had eyes that could fall in love. Tough life.Across town,

Ode To Andy...

A couple of months ago I was at work, bored to death, with nothin' much to do... I came across the sports section of Business World and, being a self-confessed "tennis groupie" that I am, went straight to an article featuring andy's hat trick at stella artois. Words suddenly formed in my head and i had to write it down, now I'm not some stalker-ish/obsessed fan but here's what came out of it...An

The past week have been a blur, it started with a breakfast treat that I prepared for my officemates to celebrate my 22nd birthday. (Nearly two weeks after my real birthday coz they found out, hehe.) I left work early that day to have dinner with my boss and his other staff assistant at Grappa, this cool Italian resto. The day went well in all other aspects of my life.

life offered you when i was down,everything fell into place when you came around,made me feel whole, safe and sound,under your spell - it seemed like i was bound,every reason to be happy once again, with you i found,lifting my broken spirit away from the ground.just about the time i allowed myself to fall,out of the blue you walked away from it all,how do you expect me to rise up again, to stand

I've always thought that music is my life, or at least it's been a huge part of it since I was little. I sing along with it when I'm happy. I analyze and relate to the lyrics whenever I'm sad. What would I do without it? That I had to find out last night. It was a painful experience. I maybe overreacting. It's the feeling you get when a love is lost - a valuable things is lost. And in just a

It's been a while since I babled about love around here. Maybe it's because I had none, romantic love that is. I consider many as the loves of my life, I have my family and friends. Just recently I came close to having one. He was almost but not quite. Let me start from the beginning. A little more than a year ago i broke up with my boyfriend of almost 2 years, it was a low point in my life. I

Tainted A fresh start was all I wanted That one simple wish once again you took for granted Would my life continue to be haunted, by the ghost of you Longer than how our love ever lasted? It's as if by fate I'm being taunted. Misled by these illusions that I created Wishing for something that wasn't mine to have All my hopes and dreams suddenly faded In a flash, just like that, my fairytale

I woke up this Sunday morning without any made plans whatsoever, grabbed my Ipod and hit the play button as I stared across the room and up the ceiling. Feeling a little bit hungry I ran downstairs and ate breakfast. Like I always do on lazy days like this, I checked out our DVD collection and came across Little Black Book, a movie which seemed to be just another romantic comedy where the girl

GUESS HOW MUCH I LOVE YOU By: Sam McBratney Sometimes, when you love someone very, very much, you want to find a way of describing how great your feelings are. But as Little Nutbrown Hare and Big Nutbrown Hare discover, love is not an easy thing to measure. Little Nutbrown Hare, who was going to bed, held on tight to Big Nutbrown Hare's very long ears. He wanted to be sure that Big Nutbrown

These past few days have been great for me, I've gone through and experienced a lot of firsts. Its been my first week on my new found job, (so far so good), my first time to drive all by my lonesome all the way to where I work and back. Lastly, today I received my first ever paycheck - my hard-earned money. All's good and thinks couldn't be any better. :) I still can't believe that now I have to

A Walk To Remember

If someone told me a month ago that taking a long walk in Makati would be fun and memorable, I would have laughed and muttered: "You have got to be kidding me." I've always been the kind who would prefer to spend money just to get somewhere by taking a taxi ride whenever I'm all by myself. These past few days have been proof that life isn't so bad after all. Who would've thought that a simple

A Glimpse of the Other Path

Five days ago, I had the chance to taste the life of a law student. (Sans the need to read voluminous books that is.) It was like I was given a chance to walk in the path I chose not to take right after graduation. After my pre-employment medical exam, I had nowhere to go. I thought about spending the whole afternoon by myself, I was toying with the idea of watching I,Robot or just stroll around

It’s amazing how I've come to terms with the hurt that I felt when I broke up with BeeJay. He was the first guy who taught me how to love - or so I thought that it was indeed love during those times. I was willing to give up everything for him, my friends, my immaturity, and a lot of other things that he might not like. Why you ask? Perhaps because I was blinded by my emotions. He was a long

Different Sides of Me

As always, I spent most of last night in front of the computer doing nothing. Im not sure if its out of sheer boredom or a kick of creativity that made me do the abstract (or should i say distorted) photo collage of myself. I'd like to call it "The Different Sides of Me." I was in the process of typing my usual blog entry for this picture when all of a sudden

Movie Night Review

2004-07-16T12:05:00.000+08:00

I watched The Notebook last night and I'd have to say that the movie was well crafted and the locations definitely gave justice to the descriptions that Nicholas Sparks wrote. However, I'd have to say that the flaw of the movie was the storyline, unlike the book, it wasn't able to give the same depth and meaning to every event in Noah and Allie's love story. The way they

I think I'm having Tennis Withdrawal... it's been only a week after Wimbledon and I kinda miss having to sit around comfortably in front of the television, tuned in at Star Sports and rooting for whoever tennis favorite of mine's playing right that moment. I love the feeling of anticipation, not knowing how the match is gonna turn out (except probably when its Federer who's playing, one way

17 year old Maria Sharapova stuns defending Champion Serena Williams to take the Wimbledon title, 6-1, 6-4. It was a match definitely worth watching as the teen tennis Beauty takes on the Best of women's tennis. At least one of my bets came through to win the tourney. I'm a little disappointed though that Andy Roddick wasn't able to bring home a second career Grand Slam after losing to

On Losing Someone

2004-07-05T06:45:00.000+08:00

Losing someone is probably the most painful experience anyone can ever have. We can never be assured that those people who have touched our lives and made their mark on it, would stay with us for as long as we want to. It is not for us to decide nor is it in our hands. Along the way we lose them, in ways such as: breaking up, quarrelling, or simply by drifting away from each other; but probably

It's been raining a lot lately.. it bothers me because in a way, the weather does affect one's mood. I've been procrastinating a lot these past few days, but I'm one step away from landing a job. I sure hope that all goes well tomorrow, I'm pretty nervous at this point, maybe because I'm afraid I might mess up. Hope not.

Recently I've come to realize that I haven't really done anything productive the last month or so.. aside from taking up driving lessons, which was short and sweet but still it was that one thing that I did which made me "grow" in a way. I think I should stop procrastinating, get my butt out there and start looking for a job - a serious job that I sure hope would pay well. In this day and age,
