Perfectly Imperfect

When you said something hurtful about an individual and feels guilty afterwards, just think that you are not perfect. That you are a human being who is destined to make mistakes unintentionally and make others feel that you’re a “what-is-wrong-with-you” kind of person. In times like this, saying sorry (with sincerity of course!) is the most simplest but the effective and right way to make things right. It may take a lot of courage to admit that what you did was wrong but it will make things better, and slowly, you’ll feel okay too.

 

Sharing you words of wisdom from my super-duper great friend, and hope it’ll brighten your day. ♥

 

“good thing we have to recognize what we really really feel. kasi what you can feel you can heal. Maswerte ka kasi narerecognize mo agad yung bad feelings mo. pag you feel bad. you feel angry or fearful. yung iba dito hinde. binuburry nila yung emotions nila. nakakatakot yun. Nakakakaba. natutunan ko yan while staying here. you've got to confront those negative feelings. and be loving to them. inner child mo kasi yun eh. inner child mo na nakaramdam ng abandonment, neglect, fear ng bata ka pa."  -- Thina Salome.  (Visit her blog too! ♥)

A Military Wedding #JoyOfRye

A few moths ago, I have witnessed A Military Wedding, and it proved me that true love really exist despite the distance and could survive everything through faith, love and understanding even without communication for weeks or months. #JoyOfRye’s wedding makes me appreciate our soldiers even more especially their fiancé/spouses because they are so fearless for accepting and embracing all their loved ones has to go through just to give service for our country. A big Salute for our own Soldiers and their spouses! ♥♥

Stop and Count

One of my mantra in my everyday life is to always, ALWAAAYS, look at the positive side of everything. But I guess we all need to have a break from being too optimistic and feel sad at times, so we could learn to grow and know more about ourselves. In times of uneasiness like this, we tend to question the universe such as “Why does it has to be this way?” or “Why are they like that?” or “Where did I go wrong?”.. I think its perfectly fine to feel this way, because, it only shows that you are a human being capable of getting hurt. Just close your eyes, count 1 to ten, inhale love, then exhale hate. Im sure you’ll be fine after doing this :)

I don’t know if these post makes sense to you, but I just need to let this negativity out of my system. And so far, im already feeling better. Hihi. 

 Hoping for everyone to have a fun Friday night! ♥

2015 Bucket list ❤

Rereading my 2014 bucket list makes me go “What was I thinking when I was writing this one?” haha, I know what I wrote is all impossible to achieve in just one year especially my Travel Bucket-list, and have crossed out just a few, but this year, I will make sure to do at least half of it. :P So I am rewriting it and adding new “achievable” things to do for this year. :)

 Since I’m turning 22 this year, I’ll just write down 22 things for my bucket list this year. ♥
 

Page 365 for 2014

In just a few hours, we will be closing our page 365 for the year 2014, so how was your year? Did you cross out all of your 2014 to do list? Well in my case, I didn’t, haha. But im still thankful for I had unexpected life realizations and surprises from our universe which makes my 2014 a roller coaster ride of emotions. I know I have said before that I wish that time would stop even just for a while, but now that I am sooooo over my graduation blues, I am really looking forward and excited to what will my 2015 be like.

 

 

8 things I love about Christmas

Christmas season is just around the corner, again. Isn’t it unbelievable how time flies really fast? It seems like it wasonly yesterday that I was wrapping Christmas presents and helping out my mom in the kitchen prepare our Noche Buena. I’m not complaining though, Christmas season is one of my most favorite holidays, here’s why:

 

 

Neverland Manila 2014

Neverland Manila is defenitely one for the books for me. This is my first music festival, this is where i splurge my first salary from my first real job! Haha. This is also where i finally met one my favorite DJ's, Afrojack. I don't know how would i express that night into words, i feel like i got the chance to break free from all the pressure and expectations just for one night, i forgot all the stress in my life, all the imperfection and flaws, my insecurities, all of them gone when the DJ's start to drop their beat, this is where I got to experience the feeling of being alive, be crazy and just dance the whole night, the feeling of just being me and carefree without caring what the other people will say.
