a tap on the shoulder.
an answered prayer.
a delicious dessert.
a nice view.
a cool splash on summer.
having the best getaway.

a helping hand.
the word thank you.
seeing a rainbow.
a good girl talk.
nice walk with friends.
rolling over the grass.
a nice cup of coffee.
dancing in the rain.
a loud applause.
hearing a good joke.
playing with a cute dog.
a good sleep.
pieces of pictures.
a graduation day.

In this fast paced world, where there is less time noticing the simple things that would make us smile, it is essential to sit and find time to appreciate even the smallest events that comes our way. we would often work hard to satisfy our needs and luxury that we tend to forget that the things that would really make us happy are those we need not work for. let us not always be attached to what the world could give us, rather, to what life has to offer in the simplest of things.

For all the things i want to oppose but i can't,
simply because i just preferred not to.
NO.
For all the decisions that I shouldn't do but eventually did
and for all the decisions I did but i know I shouldn't have done.
NO.
For all the yes-es that came out my mouth but I regretted,
because I meant to say no but I didn't have the courage to.
NO.
For all the bad feeling that I felt but I was the one to blame.
NO.
For all the haters and discouragements.
NO.
For all the things that I wanted to do but I cant.
For all the feelings that i longed to feel.
For all the words I wanted to say.
For all the curses I wanted to burst out.
For all the sorrows I wanted to let out.
For all the disappointments, tears, failures and hindrances.

Hello moving forward. Hello happiness. Hello success. ☺

10 THINGS YOU'LL HATE ABOUT ME
lol kiddin! don't go scramming now people! =P
ok let's (seriously) start.
1.)I AM BASTOS. hahaha! (i laughed at myself after typing this!)
I'm gassy. Most especially in the morning. I think I got this from my dad.. because he is the first person to "let his gas loose" every morning. It's like, that's the signal that in about 15 mins, he'll be turning on the radio, turn it up full blast, so it's time for us to wake up too.
I am even too tamad to take a bath pag walang pasok. i'll wait until my Mom would shout at me and say: maligo ka na! kakadiri ka!
2.) I am a major couch potato at home. i could literally sit ALL day just watching tv.
3.) "the more you talk, the less i do." this might be one of my super nega trait. i am so stubborn you cannot persuade me to do things that i don't want to do. well the minor "things".Hehehehe. Spunds ironic right?
4.) I am a "hahahah hahahahaha bwaaaaaaaahahahahahahahahahaha.... silence" type. I pissed off one of my elementary barkada with this attitude before. As in to the point where she talked to me in private just to ask what the hell was wrong with me. all i did was shrug my shoulders. she told me, luka luka ka ata e. i shrugged my shoulders again. then she didn't talk to me for about a week. hehe..
i would be laughing loudly (or talking non-stop) one time then just go silent. like something went wrong. i won't be giving you theories and scientific explanations regarding that, it would just make my nose bleed. even i don't know the answer. let's just say, may dumaang anghel at kinurot ako sa tagiliran dahil sa kaingayan ko. =)
5.) my nick name is criticism. a bad baaaad baaaaaaaaaaad girl indeed. (but hey, i'm on the stage of renewal! =P ) Pinaganda ko lang ang term, but the truth is, i'm one of those people that are "mapang-okray".
7.) I am over-acting-ly-paranoid. when fairy godmothers gave the world PARANOID characteristic, i was probably emoting out on the streets, arms wide open, face facing the sky and eyes closed. that's why i took a whole bunch of it. i think extreme! i panic too much because of this too! hay nako, pati ako naloloka sa sarili ko when this attacks.
8.) I lack confidence. yeah, isa itong kainis inis na bagay about me.
9.) i always have something to say in an argument, that's why i always make sure i don't get into one. i don't want fights, i believe that love would always be the solution to any misunderstandings. hindi ako magpapatalo. when i know i am right, therefore i am! hehe..
you won't be hearing me talking to much when i am way too angry. expect me to be still and quiet. mahaba ang pasensya ko sa ganyan. i distract myself pag nasa word war ako. ayoko kase ng pinatatagal e. i understood your point, you also understood mine,
little would you know that my brain could be humming a song when i am faced with some word war. it's my way of calming my nerves.i would cry when i'm too much pissed. it doesn't mean that i give up though, it's just my way of releasing my emotions, but when i start to talk, expect some very loud voice and harsh words. as in VERY loud voice.
and lastly........ teneeeeeen!
10.) i have atychiphobia. too deep? let me explain.
atychiophobia is the fear of failure. hello low self esteem, hello fear of failure!
i tend to ALWAYS go with the flow. i seek security that's why i am afraid to take the risk. ako na ang boring. ako na ang coward. i am undergoing a personal medication called, tok tok tok, think mature. i teach myself to be brave. when i grow up, i want to be King Leonidas. one day i'll shout, this is SPARTAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!
TODAY's ONE LINER
"A drop of water breaks a stone, not
by sheer force, but by dripping
continuously. That’s the power of
patience and perseverance."
Pretend to be deaf
When you don't like what other people say about you, pretend to be deaf. When you know that what they are saying will not help you in anyway, pretend to be deaf. If you know that what people around you is saying will only ruin you, pretend to be deaf.
Listen only when you know that what they are saying can help you. Listen only when you know that what they are saying will turn you into a better person. Listen only when you know that they are speaking with sense.
If you listen to everything that people say about you, you'll lose your sanity. Different people will tell you different things. People will say a lot of things about you, most of the times contradicting opinion of you. If you think what they are saying is not true, then why bother with them? Don't mind the rumors, who cares what other people say about you? You know yourself better than them.
Remember that however they describe you doesn't matter, you know what is true from what is not. Their perception of you will only be validated if you act the way they expect you to act. IF they say you're a bitch and you start acting like one, then of course, you became what they expect you to be.
But the question is, are you what they say you are?If you know you are not, then pretend to be deaf. You're better off without listening to those people. You can live without them you know.

Let it be REAL this time LORD..
I know I should not put my heart on material things. Two months ago you taught me that they can all vanish in a blink of an eye. I never forgot the lesson Lord.
But God, please let this thing be mine this time. In my heart I know I need it. I just don't know if you see it the same way Lord. I know my heart is the heart of a human---greedy and materialistic by nature. Though in my heart and in my mind I know I am making the right decision, I still need your stamp of approval.
I wish it is already mine Lord. Not just because I had always wanted to have one but because I know it could be of use to me especially when I go back.
I will be sacrificing a lot Lord. So please let this be the right decision. Seldom does my heart and my mind unite---and it never gave me a good result. Let it be right this time Lord.
Amen.

What is one bad habit of yours?
Over the past few days, I've been ultra busy. That is a no brainer, with my calculation of how many hours I use up doing certain activities, it should naturally put some weight on my shoulders. Over the past few days I have had some great conversations with friends. Both random and serious. Those conversations have yet again sparked my curiosity. Why? Because that's just how I am. From time to time I like to question some things in life. I question the systems we follow unconsciously, stereotype morals, my personality traits - flaws and all. These thoughts play with my mind and personally, I enjoy the thinking process.
I am a strong believer that there are always two sides to the story. And never should one judge the other without knowing both sides. You may hear different sides, different opinions etc. but that alone should be enough for you to make judgement on how to see the situation. You should always try to understand, even if it a difficult process. I try, I really do. And once I feel like I do understand, its then I can make some educated decisions.

But one question pooped up that actually made me think.
When I am asked these questions, a million little things come to mind, but they aren't bad. They are pretty much common things. Its funny how we can easily pick out the bad flaws of someone else, but when it comes to us, we can only think of the little things that mean nothing. To shake thing up, and finish the question, I suggested we picked a bad habit from each other, instead of ourselves.

Hilarious Moments
One thing I take pride in, is trying to preserve awesome memories in my brain. When we enjoy something so much, its hard to get it out of our minds shortly afterward. But what of long after those moments? Its probably the reason why I blog, it's actually quite nice looking back on memories and frankly, when I'm not blogging, on facebook or chatting to friends and family online, you would probably find me looking through my photo albums both on my shelf and my laptop. I love the shots I take, they are random, all in the moment and sometimes quite scandalous if I don't say so myself. Some of the funniest memories that happened all just recently, funny enough have been with my mom. Sure we don't get along sometimes but that's what family does to you, drives you insane but keep you on your toes haha.
Uncomfortable
When was the most uncomfortable feeling you ever had?
Having cramps while sitting an exam...
Being accused of doing something really out of character, when I haven't...
Getting yelled at for numerous things at various occasions...
Crying in front of people you care for, and not being able to explain why the tears....
Looking around this messy room of mine and not knowing where to start...
