EAT PRAY LOVE and my status...

Written September 20, 2013

  It's been my second time to watch the movie, Eat, Pray, Love but it's different right now. Maybe because two years ago, I was still 19 years old and my world was entirely for school. Presently, I'm 21 years old, working already, and have many plans ahead. The movie defines my next move for tomorrow. I can really relate on the movie. It is all about leaving everything behind and finding yourself entirely and your readiness to face everything in your life with all the uncertainties. My younger sister can't understand the movie and she even says, "Boring man na ate. Indi ako makaintindi". Yes, when the first time I watched it, I didn't understand it clearly. All I concluded that she ate on Italy, she prayed and meditated in India and she finally found her love in Bali. It's a unique plot that for a young adult like me, it helps to boost and enlighten my life in all aspect. It inspires me to have a balance in my life, not to be selfish but be a wondrous explorer.
     While watching the movie, I remembered my 'panata'. It was to cut my hair short and not to have a boyfriend for the entire year of 2013. Well, Christmas is coming and I think I made it (That's my conclusion). I had a short hair last March and I think I need to trim my hair again, maybe next week. I don’t have a boyfriend or any guy right now. I'm not lonely and that's the one thing that makes the movie great. It taught me to be satisfied in everything and life should be in balance no matter what will happen.  Well, something just popped up in my mind and I think it also inspires me to write tonight. What if I will continue my panata for another year? What if this will help me better to know myself well? What if?

     Well, I think I should offer everything to God. I think He has better plans for me tomorrow. Maybe I can make it for another year. From this day, I'm planning to extend for another year my life's status. Being a single for almost two years is great. It helped me a lot to have time for myself. It is also a great experience to know yourself more better and be ready for another chapter of your life. I can read books and I don’t have other things to keep in my mind except for myself. I know everything has a purpose and I think I will wait for my time. :)

'Problems don't stay problems, they turn into something else.'

Written July 14, 2015 . This is the movie wallpaper of Wild. I just finished watching the movie 'Wild'. I chose to watch this movie tonight because of Reese Witherspoon and she's one of my favorite. And also, I didn't have a lot of things to do right now, so I prefer a movie over a book. I thought this was all about hiking because that was the idea I got in the trailer. I was wrong. Somehow, as the story continues, it illustrates how strong a woman can face life alone in the dessert and how she survives such crisis. It also depicts what a woman can do in order to move on and surpass her troubles. As a woman, myself, the movie helps me to become more courageous enough in dealing with my own problems. There was a line that catches my attention, 'Problems don't stay problems, they turn into something else.' It can be our life's motto especially if we are losing hope in our situation. This is Cheryl Strayed. Cheryl Strayed and Reese Wither...

Moving forward takes time.

     I already said my goodbyes repeatedly years ago, but when he came back without a warning, the feelings have suddenly immersed and I am here troubled with doubts of what would be the right thing to do.       Yes, I dearly love him after all these years, but as far as we go through this journey, we can’t keep ourselves steady and stable in securing a commitment. I don’t know if this is just a minor feeling, but I am hurt already in the inside especially on his silent treatment and ignoring behavior.       I love him that I almost have given everything just to keep him in my life. Love can really make us crazy and because of these raging feelings, I can do things without even thinking clearly. Now that he’s far away from me, I am keeping myself secure and somehow ready for anything that will happen sooner.       I should be contented with what I only have in my life. Honestly, this is what I co...

GERD, why do you have to keep on coming back?

GERD, why do you have to keep on coming back? Originally written last June 26, 2013. 'Sometimes we tend to overindulged ourselves with earthly things. Then, frustration comes in when the feeling of inadequacy overshadowed us.'    Last June 23, 2013, I ate a lot that I couldn't manage my stomach anymore. It started with a cup of milo at 4am. I was in the graveyard shift that time. I didn't have enough sleep and I don't have any choice, but to drink cup of coffee after I ate my breakfast. Well, I'm living with my family and I didn't have the hard time in preparing my meals. That morning we enjoyed our merienda because shared a serve of mango float. I'm glad staying in the house every weekend because my siblings were there and together we're complete as a family. I ate four slices of pizza the afternoon of that day and then, it started my hyperacidity.      I was diagnosed with GERD last year. GERD (Gastroesophageal Reflux Diseas...
