IF I FIND YOU SUBMERGED IN MY INTROSPECTION, IT'S BECAUSE I AM ONE WHO OVERFLOWS WITH IT. MY EXISTENCE IS CAPTIONED BY THIS PREDICAMENT OF A LIFE LARGER THAN THE MARGINS PLACED AROUND ITS EDGES.
MY BITTERSWEET STATEMENTS IN SUPPORT OF THE FREEDOM TO EXPRESS..
I sneer at people who can throw invectives at others without knowing where they are insufficient... Those who rage in anger over things they never understood - like how two strangers connect without spending time to talk..Or why it seemed like they have known each other before?... In the paradigm of sacrifice, I am the one that always needed something to believe in, in all the aspects of my life. To live, to protect my children, to love and fight for others and everything that matters to my existence. I learned, slowly, in the length of time too stretched and far away that hope the same as love is the simplest of word we can think of and give. And ironically, the hardest to get in this world where deceit and betrayal can sometimes disguise themselves as over-bearing. The purity of heart will always remain the wall that shields us. It's certitude.
♥ON BOOK POWER!♥
I love books, I treasure them like my life. I spend thousands of minutes in Powerbooks - reading from prologues to epilogues before paying for them. And it's one freaking habit I carried on to ppl close to me - they're adddicted to it! .
♥MY TAKE ON KIDLAT TAHIMIK AND HIS SUNFLOWER HOUSE!♥
Truthfully,I would celebrate each day I get the chance to meet people who think this way. Kindred ideas of equal mindset... People who idolise Sun Tzu's The Art of War and Coelho's Warrior of the Light...People who can relish every second of conversation with Eric De Guia as he talks about the planks of woods he used to build his atelier on Session Rd..And how art is desecrated by wannabe's.

♥ON THE SWIFT PASSING OF TIME...♥
Youth is fleeing, temporary. In this life, family & friendships are like the air that I breathe. I feel if you let go of those, just like your youth, everythin will be BLAH. We should keep them - like how you imagine a child holding tightly a lollipop in his hand..
♥WHAT ABOUT THE PALM READER?♥
An old soul, so said by a palm reader. One blink of my eyes would mean a thousand ideas conceived and processed... Do you know what constitutes the basic idea of being a woman of substance? When intelligent conversation matters more than sex itself.. I am starting to patronize that...How many reincarnations ive transcended? Caffeine-freak. Walk into my skin... Soulful.Ethereal.

WHAT THE HELL IS VINO KULAFU?



There he is, screaming his name is Madison in the highest pitch!Yup, he is Francis.
According to him. back in the 40's..or 50's in the province, his grandma would drop by
her favorite tindahan owned by a local named Konga every morning to have a shot of Vino Kulafu before she goes to the market..I guess it's syoktong in layman's term..hehe...
And I found his lola(Filipino for grandma) endearing hearing Francis talk about her so lovingly. I think she's now in her 80's and still goes back & forth to the U.S to her heart's content like it's Quiapo.
Anyway...
Francis is so loved by everybody. He's the walking dictionary. His mind never runs out of political jargons that can describe even the tiniest molecule in your body...Well, he never said he was a Cum Laude in Political Science in LA Salle Main...Until I chanced to peep in his resume folder...:D
He adores Samantha of Sex in the City. That's why he assumes he's gonna be forever
single, too.Hahaha.
You'll always be Francis...The only person who never forgets me whether I'm in my highest or lowest points...
I hold it in my heart...Promise!

Joe and His Camp John Hay Filling Station

Have you ever eaten at the diner inside Camp John Hay that looks like a gas station? It's Hotshots Burger & Figaro in one restaurant Joe called The Filling Station.
We got Hotshots here in Glorietta but it's so ironic that I had to get my first taste of that in Baguio ( Kasi libre! hahaha)
So those of you hybernating in Baguio now that summer is just around the corner...Don't forget to drop by this place! :D



I'd like you to meet my friend Joe...This guy up here is the main man of this hellava place
I'm blabbing about...:D
Isn't this photo cool? :D

I'm posting what I have written for him in Friendster so my other friends could see what it is about Joe
that really makes him a joy to be a friend...:D

That was the picture that deceived me..hehehe...He promised I'm gonna see Ponkalele (that bird on his shoulder) in flesh and feather when i get to Baguio, but before i did, it died. =) I've known Joe in such a short time and until now, I just can't figure out why he dances like that. hahaha. He can never be Joe without his bestfriend Chad..they are like coffee and cream, air and water to each other.. and it's so nice to see how anybody can be so comfortable with him...He'll drive you in the middle of the road where Hyatt Baguio used to be...turn off the car's tail light and open the window at your side so you would scream your lungs out...Great! That's sweet..:) He's so engrossed with his Filling Station cum Figaro Coffeeshop that he continues to forget he's been single for the nth year..hahaha...nah..It's what you call oblivious to singlehood, I guess...:) Seriously, I've grown to adore this guy in the 3 days we hanged out with him...

P.S..Joe, I just read your friendster today and got surprised reading your status!!! How true?How true???

My Tribute To The One & Only Person Who Taught Me Everythin' About Blog - Nikki :D

My Tribute To The One & Only Person Who Taught Me Everythin' About Blog - Nikki :D




It has been 2 years, Nikki...
Still we're here....
Can never thank you enough for everythin we've mentally, emotionally & literally shared.
And I damn miss you, girl...
So hard to find a lunchmate who never failed to drop by my station and burn sticks & sticks of marlboro
lights at the courtyard, talking with about senseless & senseful stuffs...
To me, you are the epitome of a REAL, 99.9% true friend...
Love you always!
I'll write another one for you when I wake up later!
Mwah!
