life verse

             ....Been holding on to this BIBLE verse since I was a lil' kid...I know that I have a God who holds my future though I myself can't guarantee what it may bring..Shaken or Still, His kindness and love continually draws me back to where I belong...TO HIM.

 

 

JEREMIAH 29:11

Heart Decisions....

... A "Spinster". Yes I am. I am proud to be one. And I guess I should start getting used to it. I've always been independent with everything I do. Looking after myself and my family. Paying my own bills and managing my own finances. Living independently and in-charge of my own timetable. Who wouldn't like that??

...Yet every princess wishes to have her own prince. That someone who'll take her for a walk holding her hands while watching the sunset. The guy who'll treat her like she is the most beautiful girl in the world apart from his mother. The one who will be with her for the rest of her life.

 

..Well I guess I've outgrown that desire. I've been through that road and got lost along the way, emerging after the journey scarred and bruised. Nursed myself back to health only to find my way back to the same old road making the same mistake over and over again. But after a few years of storming the castle of love, emerging wounded with no prince with me, my heart finally waved the white handkerchief as a sign that I've had enough.

 

...Time has taught me a great deal of experience and made me who and what I am today. After a very tiring journey of being loved and lost, I am now at the point of learning to value my own worth and loving myself which I seem to have neglected after all these years. I finally realized what I'm capable of doing. I can be an amazing woman when I fall in love, yet I promised myself that I will never make the same mistake ever again. I figured out I do not need a man to complete me.

 

...It takes patience, and total acceptance I know. Yet being single is what I prefer than being in a wrong relationship. I'd rather be alone than be happy for a while and struggle for a lifetime. 

"When asked why I am single, my reply is simply; I consider myself a black pearl rare in my authenticity, adding a mysterious beauty to the select few who can recognize & even fewer who appreciate my worth. So instead of dating, I throw myself into working in the field. If my Boaz recognizes me amongst the black rocks...great! If not, the magnificence of my rarity will simply radiate onto those working the fields as well in the form of teaching, which is what I do.”

Easier Said Than Done....

..It usually takes a great amount of strenght and courage to stand in the midst of any difficult situation. Most of the time we blame ourselves for any loss given at any circumstance without knowing that it would take time to totally understand the reason why we are allowed to encounter such. I made it my Mantra, no matter how pessimistic I am by nature to face every situation with positive response. So i'd like to share this to everyone...

Laugh, even when you feel too sick or too worn out or tired. 

Smile, even when you're trying not to cry and the tears are blurring your vision.
Sing, even when people stare at you and tell you your voice is crappy.
Trust, even when your heart begs you not to. 

Twirl, even when your mind makes no sense of what you see.

Frolick, even when you are made fun of.

Kiss, even when others are watching.

Sleep, even when you're afraid of what the dreams might bring.

Run, even when it feels like you can't run any more.

And, always,

 

Remember, even when the memories pinch your heart. Because the pain of all your experience is what makes you the person you are now. And without your experience---you are an empty page, a blank notebook, a missing lyric. What makes you brave is your willingness to live through your terrible life and hold your head up high the next day. So don't live life in fear. Because you are stronger now, after all the crap has happened, than you ever were back before it started.

..This is HOW YOU LOSE HER...

**A bit teary eyed when my lil' sissy shared this with me. And I must say it summarizes those things I had difficulty of expressing at times..ENJOY READING!

This is how you lose her.

You lose her when you forget to remember the little things that mean the world to her: the sincerity in a stranger’s voice during a trip to the grocery, the delight of finding something lost or forgotten like a sticker from when she was five, the selflessness of a child giving a part of his meal to another, the scent of new books in the store, the surprise short but honest notes she tucks in her journal and others you could only see if you look closely.

You must remember when she forgets.

You lose her when you don’t notice that she notices everything about you: your use of the proper punctuation that tells her continuation rather than finality, your silence when you’re about to ask a question but you think anything you’re about to say to her would be silly, your mindless humming when it is too quiet, your handwriting when you sign your name in blank sheets of paper, your muted laughter when you are trying to be polite, and more and more of what you are, which you don’t even know about yourself, because she pays attention.

She remembers when you forget.

You lose her for every second you make her feel less and less of the beauty that she is. When you make her feel that she is replaceable. She wants to feel cherished. When you make her feel that you are fleeting. She wants you to stay. When you make her feel inadequate. She wants to know that she is enough and she does not need to change for you, nor for anyone else because she is she and she is beautiful, kind and good.

You must learn her.

You must know the reason why she is silent. You must trace her weakest spots. You must write to her. You must remind her that you are there. You must know how long it takes for her to give up. You must be there to hold her when she is about to.

You must love her because many have tried and failed. And she wants to know that she is worthy to be loved, that she is worthy to be kept.

And, this is how you keep her...

 

 

...Adventures with Bestie!

...Oh yeah, I can be an impulsive traveler at times. As much as I love photography, this one hobby of mine has been made to life when I met my Bestie a year ago. I was never a risky person when it comes to travelling. Yet it was him who made me take the risk of riding on his motorcycle and savoring each moment of going here and there. 

...It is always a fun way to relax when you come to appreciate the beauty of nature. Good thing I was able to buy my cam and we'll just go ahead and drive wherever we wanna go, occassionally dropping by some place to eat or pee..(hahaha!).

...It will always be a good thing to have someone who shares their passion to make it your own as well. And this will be one of the best experiences I will always cherish taking note of all the memories made while building a lasting friendship..=)

We turned ONE!

**ZUMBA GIRLS IN NEONS!!**

***(^_^)***

...Not even a Fitness Enthusiast myself, yet noticed a sudden surge of weight just when I came home from working in the Middle East. I got so used with Western Lifestyle during the whole 3 years of being away eating a full meal once a day which mainly consists of red meat and poultry, having at least 3 cups of GREEN TEA with fresh lemon (oh how i miss that!..), and a full blast of fruit and fresh veggies the whole day. I can even have some time to jog and shoot some hoops even in the midst of HELL-y cli (...i mean very hot and humid all at the same time, except for winter of course, haha!).

...Then with all the stress and pressures of being very workaholic, having a Bestie who loves to eat anything and everything under the sun, all the weight came back. Sad but true. Yet sometimes you'll learn that being fit is the key to gain self esteem and confidence. 

...Signed myself up to try ZUMBA sessions at LIVE to DANCE studio managed by the HERIA sissies from my hometown in LA CARLOTA. Found myself a group of friends regardless of age and status finding a way to relax and enjoy after a tiring day of work. 

...ZUMBA which is usually a combination of different kinds of dances is really a good exercise if you don't like doing anything routine like hitting the gym..(sounds more of myself..lol). It doesn't even require  you to be a very good dancer. It aims to help you workout and have fun all at the same time! =)

...Now I've lost around 5kgs since I started the program. Now my goal is hitting the next 20kg off..(..so help me GOD..). Just started juicing myself and gradually turning in to Pescetarian Diet for a change. Hopefully everything will work within my timetable..lol

...We just celebrated our First year Dance-ary at our public plaza last JULY 13, 2013 displaying God's faithfulness through Dancing. Our celebration was a showcase of talents from our Ballet babies and Zumbalicious group.

ZUMBA sessions are during WED, THURS, FRI ( 6-7pm) / 70php per session.

...what my heart says now...

...its been a while...that feeling when you are consumed with remorse with all the things you've done in the past...recalling the days when you were completely happy and contented at the same time..only to figure out that you were just drafting your own fairytale in your head and leading your heart on to believe such...

...how I wish LIFE itself would have been kind to me..I hope this wouldn't have been so hard..just when everyone believed its for the best...JUST WHEN I TOLD MY HEART...THAT I'M ONE PIECE AWAY FROM MY OWN PUZZLE..

...I was building a strong wall surrounding my own heart, demolishing bridges behind me so I wont have any choice but to move forward...only to find out that the foundations I built would crumple and fall revealing the weakest part of my inner being..=(
