Lately, I’ve regain my hobby of drawing and now I’m trying to work my own piece of watercolor painting. As for beginners like me, I bought a best-buy watercolor tubes from National Bookstore and two paint brushes.The colors are limited though.

I started of painting my own version of tree as I am so obsessed with it. Tried playing with mixtures of red, blue and green.

My finish product reminds me of preschooler’s artwork. I know, I need to do a lot more practice. Hopefully, I can come up with a more decent art.

You know when you look in the mirror and feel like you’re not good enough? Well, let me tell you something. You’re perfect. Every inch of you. The way your thighs touch and the extra bit of weight on your belly. Your legs are beautiful, and your arms are, too. There’s no one else that looks the way you do. You’re special, you’re different from everyone else. So, why bother comparing? The thing is, other people compare themselves to you. They look at you and wonder, “god, why can’t I look like that?” People are jealous of you. People want to be you. It sounds crazy, I know. But when people look at you, they see more than you do. They see the way you laugh, and that little mischievous smiles you get sometimes. They see the way you stopped to talk to that girl that looked upset. That’s what matters. That’s what makes you beautiful. It’s not how shiny your hair is, or if your stomach goes in instead of out. It’s not looking like you just got off the runway. Beauty is love. It’s loving the world and everyone in it. So even if you don’t understand how perfect you are, fuck it. Fuck your calves and your stomach and the top of your arms. Fuck the way your thighs look when you sit down. Fuck it all because you love, and you are loved. And that’s what makes you beautiful.

If we were meant to be together, we would be together. I was just thinking about the first time we went to that Greek restaurant in the corner, there was this big banner saying “Now Serving Soup”. I just started to go on and on about all the obstacles that the owner must have overcome to achieve his life long dream of serving soup. And then, when I was finished, she didn’t say anything for a few seconds. She just sort of exhaled it.

coughs and colds

I went to Medical City to have my coughs and colds checked by a doctor. I’ve been self medicating with commercialized medicines since I got my colds and cough. Not to mention that I’m drugging myself with drowsy decolgen so as to relieve me from my colds every night and to doze me a to long sleep. Thank God, I have a Intellicard HMO provided by the company, I don’t have to bother with the consultation fees of the doctor. That’s one of the perks of being employed.

Marko accompanied me to the hospital. Well actually, he forced me to visit a doctor. As my name was called, he was insisting to join me so he can hear for himself the doctor’s prescription. I told him “I’m a big girl na… Kaya ko na ‘to". He always have this feeling that I won’t pay too much attention on what the doctor have to say. He was definitely right. I just hate being prescribed with medicines.

The doctor, advised me to take sinupret instead of decolgen and prescribed some medicines for my coughs.

After my check-up, Marko treated me for dinner to celebrate because I was able to hit my annual sales target. We rarely have a date so I really appreciate it. We ended up ourselves to A Veneto Napoli Pizzeria Ristorante at SM Super Centre Pasig. Apparently, it was owned by one of our head during our internship at Adidas.



I ordered one of my most favorite pasta Oil and Garlic Seafood in White Sauce. I don’t have appetite for white pastas but this one is an exemption. The garlic is very tasty together with the taste of the shrimp.



I also like the site of construction workers painting on the wall. Particularly, customers love their Oil in Garlic pastas and pizza. Prices are affordable and comes with great serving which  is definitely good for sharing.

Busy doing doodle art while sick. Using my neon color pens ❤ #doodle #draw #cute #art (Taken with Instagram)

My coughs and runny nose is getting worse. Marko has been sleeping in our house to look after me every night to make sure that I take my medications regularly. Today, I was not allowed to go to work.

Today also, we opened our new franchise at JAM Liner Kamuning Edsa. Too bad, I wasn’t able to visit and accompany my mom. I bet, the day was pretty exhausting for her specially now that the weather is mercurial.

P.S. I’m drugging myself with decolgen to get rid off my colds.

Multiply Shutting Down on Dec 1st 2012

Muliply a free blog hosting and social networking site announced that it will be shutting down its social networking feature rather focus on building an e-commerce site or online-shopping.

I’ve been an avid user of Multiply in College. It is where I did my first blog and repository of all my photos. Every single event in my college life is captured in Multiply. That is why it breaks my heart to read a notice that Multiply will be discarding social networking content which means they will be removing the uploaded photos, videos etc.

Just like the social networking pioneer Friendster, Multiply finally submits to the social networking battle. Rather it focus in more profitable business of offering e-commerce site.

Just recently, few months ago. I decided to update my albums and upload the new photos taken from last year only to find out that I’ll be needing to back up all those photos.

They assured their users though, that they will be providing easy way to download all the stuffs that has been uploaded to multiply. But then, I’ll be allotting one day to backup my albums.

My Birthday Wishlist

I’m not the type of person who would normally celebrate her birthday. Honestly, I hate celebrating my birthday. I would rather stay at home, have an intimate time with myself while watching chick flick dvds at home or visit the Church all-by-myself and do soul searching.

So it’s weird that I’m listing my Birthday Wishlist. On my birthday would like to do following…

1. Visit a Church and offer my thanksgiving prayer because God had given me another year to live.

2. Try a restaurant I have never tried before. Feed myself as I do my birthday wishlist 2 & 3.

3. Ice Skating at SM Mall of Asia. It was four years since the last time we went ice skating. Eat ice cream after :)

4. I want to visit Manila Ocean Park. Take a tour at Oceanarium, see the jellies dancing sea fairies, try fish spa and for the finale watch the musical fountain show.

Age and Change

My 24th birthday is around the corner. I’m getting old day-by-day. Is there any inevitable event such as aging and change? Aging and Change has been constant in our lives. You change as you grew old, you jive into new principles and you learn to be more open. I was reflecting on the important things that had changed in my life. Firstly, I’m more mature in taking life decisions. Secondly, I’m more mature on handling relationships be it in family, workplace, friendship and to my long-term relationship with Marko. On the physical appearance, I think my body figure had matured and bloated a lot. Now, I can face different sets of people at all sorts of ages, with different personalities and have a coffee conversation with them. Then, I realize there were some things that should’ve NOT change or rather should have change to improve. Firstly, I spend less time visiting the Church to offer my prayers. Secondly, I’m forgetting how to enjoy life to its fullest as I’m always preoccupied with a lot of things in mind. Most importantly, some part of our relationship have changed. Maybe it’s me who have change or only because that at our age we need to make some priorities in life. I know I should not cling too much on the past… But then I just miss the old us. Careless, insanely in-love, more kisses, more hugs, more endearments… (why am I writing about this???) - I just miss the old times. Maybe we just outgrew those things because we are getting old. Now, I should try to outgrow this feeling. Again, for the end time… I just miss the old times….

OUCH.

A dog parenting book for twinkle. For me to raise her right 🐶 (Taken with Instagram)

I stopped by the museum (which I won’t name) after a roller coaster meeting with a client. I was expecting to finally receive some award paper but to my surprise we ended up haggling the contract amount. I was really caught off-guard. This is how they do it in selling hardware, OS etc. etc.

Someone, told me that I should try to write about sales etc. etc. I can’t help myself but laugh. Firstly, I don’t have ample grammar skills. Secondly, what should I write? How erratic my clients are. Spinning my world in such a great bliss. How to be in grace under pressure. Make a poise smile and poker face during panel discussions.

I’m just dead tired….

Marko regularly have his haircut at Fix Serendra with his stylist Shane. So I had my haircut too. I asked Shane, how would l look with bangs. Next thing I knew he already cut my bangs. I think it fit me well naman, so less worries for me. Thank God, he didn’t cut my hair in full bangs. It would be such a shame.

My dad leaving agaIn for work

I’ve been vocal, that I am a certified daddy’s girl. My dad is a seaman. He sacrifices being not with us to earn living for the family, so he can send us to expensive schools and provide more than what we need.

My dad just got back from abroad last August 13 (exactly on his birthday). Just a while ago, we receive a news from him that he’ll be leaving tomorrow to relieve a chief captain because his mother died. Knowing my dad, he would immediately accept the offer. That’s how dedicated he is. It’s not that it’s new to us. It happened so many times, when my dad did not made it to my college graduation because he had to leave few days before my big day.

It’s just been three weeks since we spent with him. Well, as for my mom she’s hadn’t gotten enough of the cuddling with my dad. I also rarely spend time with him since it’s already late when I arrive from work.

Oh well, I don’t want to be emotional when we are saying goodbyes in the airport. I never grew old with the crying stuff when my dad had to leave. Same goes with my mom. I’m going to miss him again just like the 4 year old little girl 😢

I pray always for his safety. I love my dad. I look up to him despite of his intolerable philosophies in life.

The Dog by Francisco Goya, 1819


As you take a look with this painting, you’ll see a helpless dog either caught in a quicksand, drowning or whatsoever. Lifting it’s head up facing the heavens as it renounces to its fate. Ironically despite of death depicting in the canvass you can feel peacefulness and complete affirmation.

Thank you for giving me 100% happiness and for spending 83 wonderful months with me. Happy monthsary @oleoleol - I love you ❤ (Taken with Instagram)

I went for a good cardio workout yesterday with the stepping machine (i don’t know what to call it) and treadmill. Marko has been too lazy to hit the gym these past few months while I’m so eager to burn my calorie consumption out.

I also found out that its more effective to play a workout playlist using my Nike+ and iPod. My foot steps are like dancing on the beat while I take every stride. I also tried closing my eyes relaxing while I’m pushing myself to the limits. It was such a relief.

This morning I did some aerobics as well courtesy by youtube :)
