A Confession

I’m in love with an idea, an outline, a shell that has taken its shape of this object I have been adoring for who knows how long.

But then it remains an idea, a wish for something else, a hope for something more.

Will it assume its full form eventually?

I, myself could not even tell. No, I dare not. 

But I can remain hopeful, and will bank on that until the next idea comes along… or that which seems to be impossible is finally realized.

I’m human. Hoping is my natural fault, and maybe my greatest virtue.

Caught in Limbo

Can I just say “I toldya so!!!”???

I’m not happy, but I just hope they’ve got grand plans to make it all seem alright. I hope, I really really do. Getting stuck in the middle of a mess is not a very nice thing to happen to anybody, especially when I tried very, very hard to avoid it, delay it and altogether cancel it, to no avail.

*Sigh* 11 months to go…

Success!!!

It looks pretty much the same like the one I see in Manila . 

Watch-less

I haven’t written about my almost 2-year old watch - the one I bought for myself when I turned 26 at the persuasive suggestion of Jeffer. I wasn’t planning on giving myself any gift that year, but we did go to the mall to watch a movie and hang out, then I ended up buying the watch and some other stuff. Hihi.

Watch, o watch, where art thou?

Three weeks ago, I misplaced it. I came home one day, and while changing into my jammies, I realized that I no longer have a watch on my wrist. And for the life of me, I cannot remember when I last saw it; and how I could’ve lost it.

It bothered me for the next few days since I was getting this phantom feeling that I’m supposed to be wearing a watch on my right wrist. But when I hold it up to check the time - it’s not there. I guess I’ve grown very fond of the thing having had it for almost 2 years. 

Oh well. I guess I’ll buy myself a new one on my next birthday which, by the way, is coming up soon.

Full Moon Rising

I was out shooting the full moon a few minutes ago, when my neighbor and his friends came out, apparently on a trip to the grocery to buy some more booze. I was squatting on the pathway so they naturally struck up a conversation with me.

There. I’m not alone in this building, this neighborhood. There are actually live human beings living right next door to me.

Anyway, I’m disappointed with my moon shots since I can’t recreate this:

I’ll try again tomorrow night. I’m off to bed, for now.

Preparing to Jazz

I finally bought myself decent dancing shoes for my Jazz class which will start on Tuesday.

I finally have my own pair of ballet shoes!!! The black pair's the split-sole jazz shoes.

I even got a compliment from the store owner that I have “great body for ballet”. Hihihi.

I am more excited now to start dancing again .

The things I’m missing the most…

are…

- my cats
- my early morning Starbucks visits
- my (almost) daily phone conversations with my friends
- my (almost) daily gigil hugs from my kid neighbor Sam
- my less than 1000-peso spa trips

Hay…. Ibalik nyo na ko sa Pilipinas please!!!!!

Refresh
