All The Days of My Life: Yesterday & Today

I nearly got robbed yesterday (hmmm...is that the right term?). Anyway, I never really felt his hands digging right into my pocket until the jeepney stopped in front of Gaisano. It's when I really looked back at him and he was already gone. Wretched thief!

I really thank God for His protection over me. Without Him, I don't know what''ll really happen to me. To think that my cellphone fell out of my pocket twice that day. And twice, someone I know picked it up and returned it to me :)

This afternoon, Pauleen and I went to Camacho to get our thesis one day ahead the scheduled date. Good thing it was already bonded. I felt sarcastic. Sad? no.Happy? not either. Just grateful maybe. After all these years, I'm almost finished.

Those tears, fears, frustrations, desperation, bitterness, hopes & prayers were different hues of invisible ink that were written all over the pages of my thesis. For me, it does not contain the Chapters 1-5, Appendices etc. It contains my weaknesses and strength. That thesis measured who I really am, how strong I can be, what I can do and how far I can push myself.

Thanks to those people who stood by me through all of these. Though sometimes I felt like I'm standing all alone, He never leaves me.

To God be all the glory!

fun.food.pool.

I remember that night while I was sitting at Bea M's swimming pool. I kept repeating to myself, "Never in my whole life did I imagine myself spending a night with my elite classmates in a pool party."

But then I guess I should expect the unexpected. Without me knowing it, I was enjoying myself though I ended up tired & aching the next day. It was worth it.

Chair, Please Swallow Me WHOLE

This was one of those days when I really felt like the sky, the earth and the ocean totally merged & decided to pick on me.

1. I wasn't comfortable with my make-up & hairdo.

2. My prom date was a total stranger.

3. I cannot see without my glasses.

4. The photographer sucks.

The stiletto-heeled shoes my Aunt gave me was a real killer. I do not know how to carry it. I almost tripped on my green gown. AAARRRGGGHHH!

I also hate the time when everyone was required to dance with their prom dates.I do not dance & I have no idea how to dance.

I swear my hands were trembling during the dance and I was desperately staring at Stessi and uttering "Stes, SOS!". Ha! Unluckily she thought I was enjoying that she even threw a "nice job" stare back at me.

Good thing that "total stranger" knows what to do. So we ended up talking about random stuffs at the table. Stuffs like reincarnation, time travelling, religion etc. (Okay, I know I'm boring.Don't remind me!)

I felt utterly LOST in our own prom.I always do.

But wait! There' this positive side: I love the gown I designed my self. They complimented on it. LOL!

With Diane, one of the reasons high school was fun.

The picture-taking part was also a savior.What a relief. Good thing I brought my camera. My favorite picture is the one below. :)

It's me and Agustin...Peace!

That "SOULMATE" Thing

Lorens said, "We study things that we see. But sometimes, what we see doesn't really exist." Somewhat related to "What is essential is invisible to the eye" by Exupery.

I just cannot get over Paulo Coelho's "super works". His thoughts seem out-of-this world but true; simple but complex in meaning; ironic but real. It has life in its own sense.

After reading this book, I've finally found explanations for some of the most haunting questions I've kept in my mind for a long time,specifically, the questions regarding mystery and magic and their ties with love.

The soulmate explanation wherein he said that we are incarnations of previous beings in this world; our atoms once belonged to things or persons that once existed in this world and our soulmates are those whose atoms once belonged to the same things as ours (getch?).
Then there's this certain light that we can see in the eyes and on the left shoulders of our soulmates. Soulmates...yeah, with an "ssss". It's because according to the book, it's possible for us to meet more than one soulmate in a lifetime.

It's one of my most loved books (thanks Tricky) because it has a touch of science,hmmmm...time travel to be exact. I've always wanted to slide backwards and forward in time.

Some more facts to be added next time...chill...

Life,Life & Life

Life
by George Herbert

I made a posie, while the day ran by:
Here will I smell my remnant out, and tie
My life within this band.
But time did becken to the flowers, and they
By noon most cunningly did steal away
And wither'd in my hand.

My hand was next to them, and then my heart:
I took, without more thinking, in good part
Times gentle admonition:
Who did so sweetly deaths sad taste convey
Making my mind to smell my fatal day;
Yet sugring the suspicion.

Farewell dear flowers, sweetly your time ye spent,
Fit, while ye liv'd, for smell or ornament,
And after death for cures.
I follow straight without complaints or grief,
Since if my scent be good, I care not, if
it be as short as yours.

Insanity & Falling in Love

An Instant Book Review & Summary (as well)

Her name's Veronika and her life was almost perfect. She's pretty, she's smart and she's dying.

After years of success and enjoyment, she has realized that something is lacking. It was something she could never ever have for it was something she doesn't know.

For a longing with no definite solution, death was the only answer. So she decided to take fifty sleeping pills and write a nonsense suicidal note to be left on her bed.

But after becoming unconscious, she suddenly woke up. She was in Vilette, a mental hospital in Slovenia.

Her story slowly unfolds in this dreaded place (am I exaggerating or something?). A place where she found the real reason why she has to strive to live again.

Paulo Coelho takes the readers' into another perspective of looking at insanity and hope.

The freedom of thinking and dreaming without anyone stopping you, of doing and saying things the way you really want it to and loving someone with your whole heart knowing that you only have a day to live.

A book of miracle & second chances; chances to believe, love and live for the second time.
