Day 72: A picture that describes your life

My 26th birthday last August spent somewhere in Nueva Ecija with my road trip buddy, former lover (haha) and best friend at the same time.. hungover like a mother, hair all over the place, and with the highest hopes that my life remains full and colorful (despite all the odds I need to face in the future) because I have my supportive parents with me, a moody sister, two loving dogs and crazy friends to spend every single year with.

It's probably the only real thing I look forward to when it comes to growing up and old. :)

Day 71: A picture of you with people you work with

With Geffgina and Mattilda, the coolest workmate evaaah! ♥

Day 70: A picture of you in black and white

Day 69: A picture of your favorite memory

Sayang.. isa na lang siyang malungkot na memory from the past. :(

Day 68: A picture of something you never leave the house without

I can totally forget my wallet. I can forget my phone or my watch. I can forget my money. Sometimes I don't even care if I forget those things. But my glasses I can never forget to bring. It's like an accessory (but more of a necessity) that completes my whole look. It's like it's not me at all without it on me. Hahaha!

And, I know I look dork.. but I prefer, NERD. Ü

Day 67: A picture of you more than 10 years ago

At my Tita Susan's Wedding. December 23, 1992

Day 66: A picture that makes you look back

Each time I look at these photos I remember all the pain and tears I had to let out. Everything had flashed right through my very eyes. And today, as I post it, as much as I wanted to forget every single thing that happened during the days I was struggling, I chose not to. Because one, it made me the woman I am today and two, it made me realize that this heartbreak won't stop me from believing in love again. But this time, I won't look na. I will let LOVE FIND ME. :)

Day 65: A picture that makes you laugh

DISCLAIMER: Oh yes, she's four and she shouldn't be doing any of that for any reason. And, I didn't asked her to pose the way she did in the photo. But the question on how and where the heck did she learn that.. I don't know, seriously. She must had seen it on TV or somewhere else because I'm pretty sure her parent's wouldn't teach her something like that. Nevertheless, I kept the photo for the fun of it. Someday, I shall let her see how naughty and silly she was at the age of four. Hahaha!!! :))

Day 64: A picture that looks warm

My four year old niece, Yuri, carrying her five month old nephew, baby Kurt. Aren't they look so cute?

Day 63: A picture from your last vacation

Day 62: A picture of someone who helps you with work

With Amie :)

Day 61: A picture of someone who helps you with school

Lulai, my college best friend, who did 40% most on our thesis. Hahaha! The very asset and brain of the group. Thank God she was our thesis partner. I must admit that we wouldn't have survived and passed it without her. Thank you bru. :)

Part II

Yuri's mad love for dancing :)

The coolest person in the world.

I really couldn't get enough of this four-year-old little girl's wit and her mad love for dancing. She's my eldest sister's youngest daughter, Yuri. She loves dancing so much that whenever she hears up beat music, she will stop for a second, listen to the song and start dancing as if she's talking with it. The fun part is, she enjoys it more than playing with her toys. The expression from her face when she dances and her moves are crazy unbelievable! So priceless to see her having fun and do what she does best! ;-) I am such a proud aunt! Ü

Day 60: A picture of your favorite quote

Live ♥ Laugh ♥ Love

Day 59: A picture of something you wish to have this Christmas

This is what I badly want for Christmas. So if anyone of you happen to know where exactly Santa's whereabouts and how to find him, please do contact me. LOL. Ü

Day 58: A picture of your favorite morning

Morning breakfast in Pagudpud, Ilocos Norte with Paul (on the photo).

Day 57: A picture that you edited

The dog lover in me. ♥

STOP. LOOK. AND KEEP LOOKING!!

You know how people try to make you feel better about being single by telling you, "Hey he's out there looking for you, he just hasn't found you yet!"?

WELL HE SHOULD GET A FUCKING GPS BECAUSE THIS IS BULLSHIT.

I have been waiting and I keep thinking that I've met him and instead I meet men who act lovely towards me and then disappear from the face of the planet.

WHERE ARE YOU, PERFECT GUY FOR ME? Are you famous? Is that why your schedule is so busy? Oh crap, are you John Mayer? Please don't be John Mayer. Are you Chris Pine? I don't really care if you are, your name just kind of popped into my head. Hey Chris Pine, you were adorable in "Just My Luck" and pretty good in Star Trek, I guess, but to be honest I was a little distracted by your massive package. Sweet sassy molassy. I'm talking about the scene where he's going to do that green woman. That's like, an entire Death Star in those briefs. OK I know Death Star is a Star Wars reference and not a Star Trek one, but I think effort counts for a lot.

My friend says that I haven't met him yet (my perfect guy, not Chris Pine) because she needs to meet him first so she can make sure he's not a rapist and introduce me. Haha. How thoughtful. She says he will be funny and thin and creative. He will have dark hair and an odd sense of humor. And etc, I tuned out at some point. He needs to be amazing. He needs to have a goddamn job. And it should be awesome. He should be so attractive that I ovulate every time I see him. Hahaha. :))

Oh I know what you're thinking: "your standards are too high".

WELL DUH MY STANDARDS ARE HIGH. STANDARDS ARE WHAT SEPARATES US FROM ANIMALS. You don't see a dog freaking out over which dog's ass to sniff, a dog just finds an ass and sniffs it. That's the thing about dogs, they don't care.

If none of us had standards we would all be married by now.

What! I'm just saying! We would all be married by age 12 so we could immediately spend the rest of our lives with another person, popping out kids, like a farm animal.

But we don't do that because of standards. Standards are great. Standards make us feel like we have some control over my lives. Like, "Oh I haven't gone on a second date with Derek because I don't think he's liberal enough." No, it has nothing to do with the fact that Derek ignores your texts; now it's about YOU. You are the one in control, you are the one in charge of your destiny...and...emotions...and Spock...and I'm really trying to work in more Star Trek references but I'm having a hard time here. Help me, Obi-Wan Kanobi. DAMNIT, WRONG FRANCHISE AGAIN. (HAHA)

BUT THAT'S NOT IMPORTANT RIGHT NOW.

So look, guy, you better find me. I will be looking but I'm sick of doing all the work. I like to go out, to classy bars and restaurants and such (or maybe not), so when you see me, just say "Hi". That's it. "Hi". As long as you do that and aren't rude, I'll know you're the one. :)

Day 56: A picture of your favorite night out

Garampingat is L♥VE.. 

J is for Jaja :)

I owe this pretty lady a HUGE thank you for making me absolutely happy and for making me feel so special. I couldn't thank her enough for giving me a wonderful, well-thought, and very personalized gift for my 26th birthday. So, beb, this blog post is for you. ♥

Cheers to our Friendship!!! I L♥VE YOU, BEB. Thanks much! :)

Maraming salamat beb for the gift. Nakakataba sa puso. ♥ Sobrang na-appreciate ko talaga yung ginawa mo. Thank you for the time and the effort you put into it just to make that beautiful scrapbook as a present. Madalas ako ang gumagawa ng scrapbook. And there was one time when I had given it to an ex-boyfriend as a gift for our first year anniversary. Then suddenly, I received one for myself. I felt so special. As in!!! I'm so grateful to have bunch of friends that are all sweet and thoughtful enough.. just like you. I will forever treasure it. Love youu beb. :)

Day 55: A picture of yourself with five facts

1. Yes, I love to binge! Pigging out is the only thing that makes me extremely happy next to singing and talking and laughing. LOL.
2. Severely left-brained, happily right-handed.
3. I'm such a sucker for happy endings. I believe in fairy tales and that every human being has their own prince charming.
4. A walking-contradiction.
5. I don't smoke, that's a fact! :)

Day 54: A picture of your favorite store

This place is heaven, at least for me. Haha!

Grocery shopping is so... zen. I feel so grown up doing it. When I'm walking down the aisles, looking for all the things in my shopping list, comparing prices, buying different cuts of meat, vegetables, cans of tuna, and toiletries then whipping out my advantage card and the "grocery budget"... I begin to realize that this is something I would want to do and enjoy when I get to have my "own" family, a husband holding the calculator and a son or daughter pushing his/her own cart. :) I can't wait for that day! Yay. ♥

Day 53: A picture of your favorite weather

85 and sunny, baby! And the cold breeze gushing through my cheeks, it's official... Pasko na! :)

Day 52: A picture of someone you miss

I miss my Superfriends. I miss laughing with them. I've missed how our conversations from small talk to non-sense topics elevates to serious one that centers about love, life, freedom, friendship and happiness. I miss how genius, smart and loving they are. Let's meet soon! I miss you guys. Badly! ;'(

Day 51: A picture of something that you hate

Liver Salad.

Everything that has liver on it, I hate it! Period.

My November's Theme Song ♥

Day 46: A picture of something you want to do before you die

I'm dying to become a Fashion Designer. Someday. :) It's a childhood dream aside from wanting to become a Lawyer, too. I know one day I'd be able to create an amazing chic and fabulous collection of clothes, dresses and evening gowns that shall go down the runway. And while Heidi Klum is watching. :) *Fingers crossed* Hahaha. Dream on!

Nonetheless, I shall make sure that this dream would be a reality. S-O-O-N.
