'What's in your backpack?'

Image
     Despite of our schedules, there will always come a time that we wanted to break free and relax for awhile. This is a reality for those who are working full time. We can experience burnout and we can’t avoid it. Yesterday, I was given the chance to watch a movie. Actually, I didn’t watch the trailer and I can’t remember why I downloaded it. Yet, I was lucky enough that I chose ‘Up in the Air’ which George Clooney was the actor behind Ryan Bingham, the lead character who travels a lot. The story was about a man who was connected to an agency who offers a strategy packet services for those company who ended up to a massive eviction of their employees.       ‘Hearing the word ‘you’ve been let go’ is not easy. Change is always scary, but consider the following. Anybody who ever built an empire or changed the world sat where you are now.’          What I love is his travel experiences and the advancement he g...

Exploring T'nalak Festival 2015

Image
The festive evening brought by the warm embrace of the people of South Cotabato during T'nalak Festival.     First of all,  I am not the type of a person who loves outdoors . Not that my parents are protective, but it is really my choice. I don’t know what had happened to me, but I enjoyed exploring this year’s festival . I love the street and the crowd that makes the party more alive. Even though, I can’t meet my schedules on time, I am not bothered and my guilt feeling  of being lazy is not working either. :) As I walked on the street, I am so much contented with what I am seeing. People have different ways of celebrating this festival. I saw family that shares their authentic smiles, friends who are enjoying the party and couple who appreciates some perfect view. My camera also agreed with me and you can see it on my output. I can still have the hard time in choosing the best setting in the ...

Life changing moments...

Image
‘Life changing moments may happen unexpectedly. It may have a good or bad result, but the feeling of self-fulfillment is priceless.’ I am  a 23 years of age at this moment. In this existence, I have been through problems, anxieties, insecurities and etc, because of these, it molded the person who I become right now. There were certain times that I thought about giving up.  I was brought up as a Catholic. I went to Catholic schools since elementary up to college. Every Sunday, as a family, we make sure that we attend mass and celebrate it. However, life had given me a time wherein my faith is in doubt and that pushes me to question how strong enough I am to hold on. Despite of this, I still love God. I can’t contain it, but I am still thankful that He has been there for me, no matter what will happen. These past few months of my life have been a roller coaster ride. There are episodes wherein I feel so depressed and alone. I have committed mortal sins that until...

SELFIE

Image
           I am not really a fun of ‘selfies’, but while I was on the bus going home, I found it enjoyable to take pictures of myself. It gives me the feeling that I’m beautiful.        Life is also about taking pictures. It depends on the photographer’s view on the quality and even on the timing of the shutter. The photographer is us. Everything in our lives is dependent on our hands. Some pictures have meanings, and we tend to treasure it even if years had already passed. My life at this moment is somehow struggling towards happiness. As I mature, I found happiness as my real treasure. It is not about on our material things, but it is the self-fulfillment that we achieved within ourselves.        My life is not perfect. No one is perfect, isn’t it?        I am still struggling every day. There are times that even putting a smile on my face is so ha...

A goodnight song from Adam :)      The song ‘If I ain’t got you’ was released on the year 2004. It was way back my grade school years. Then, this version of Maroon 5 brings back the inspiration and meaning of the song and funny, my sister, who is 9 years younger than me, introduced this cover to me. I’m not that old, I’m just 23, by the way. :)      At this moment and if I will be given the chance, I really wanted to dedicate this song to a friend who gives me a roller coaster ride in our relationship. He’s only a friend, but I can’t stop myself from developing this so-called ‘love’. I tried it before, but it gets harder and harder especially if we’re together. He’s a good friend. He knows everything about me and I love everything about him. I cannot ask again the bullet words like 'Why can’t you love me back?’. I already asked him before and I can still remember the words he said, “I only like you and like is better than nothing” and I was rewarded ...

LOVE, Rosie

Image
Oh well, two good movies in just a week! I don't really have enough time for a side trip, but this movie? I can't resist it. :) Love, Rosie. I've been waiting to watch this movie after I watched the trailer last year. Since I've known that this is also a book based movie written by Cecilia Ahern which it was with same author of P.S. I love you. Honestly, I watched P.S. I love you more than 3 times and I can't stop myself from crying. I loved how the story line moves especially on letters that Gerry had wrote for Holly. Aside from that, the movie location was in Ireland and that makes the movie more interested.  I do have a copy of the book, but I can't find time to read it. Maybe soon! I am really satisfied with P.S. I love you though the ending was the saddest part. LOVE, ROSIE....love and friendship... The almost two hours movie made me realize something, and that was, 'no matter what will happen, the friendship should always be the best reason...

DAY 2: Worth remembering despite of what happened.

Image
6 days to remember. First time of independent travel. 100% Enjoyment. In this year of 2015, it was a pleasure to experience travel independently for the first time. In these posts, it consists of my daily activities for the entire 6 days that I have. I’m so happy that I was able to record the details of my trip. FEBRUARY 8, 2015 This is what I ordered at Starbucks Boracay. Insomnia bitch related to the consumption of a TALL ESPRESSO FRAPPUCINNO at STARBUCKS BORA (shet!) I didn't sleep well. Some studies found out that it’s a myth that caffeine causes insomnia. Oh well, I can't sleep for two nights straight already, but it's weird because I am still energetic and active as ever. Morning booked for PARASAILING and HELMET DIVING for an affordable price. Before I went to Boracay, I already asked some of my friends about the prices of the activities. The piece of advice they gave me was that I should be clever in choosing the packages. ...
