One of my highschool girlfriends commented something on my Facebook that just kept bugging my mind the WHOLE day.

Lovelife. The NON-existent love life.

Naalala ko lahat ng mga ginawa ko dati. Eh ano ngayon? Tama na. Ayoko na. Sira ulo pa ko nun eh.

Freestyle's song is right. I do not care but it just sinks in. No wonder, my mind's wandering all the time.

Bawal munang lumandi. Maghanap muna ng ikakabuhay! Marami pa rin dyan. Hindi ako mauubusan! HAHA.

The weather's good. Sunday's mass is inspirational.

The Walmart lady on the counter had the happiest and friendliest face I can always cherish back.

I know now what it means to be a good steward through Dan's talk *reminds me of an "old" friend back but this guy is much better.

I bought a new CD songs of Mozart that is mentally stimulating and my brother agrees.

I realized my Dad is also a "gift"

This epiphany was so great that I am just bursting how a wicked world can be a full of genuine awe.

God is good! He really is.

So after all, I am still okay. These plugs are just worth sharing after all the not-so-good stuff lately

I don't care, "acne." Spread on my face, I'll get back to you once Im over these.

•  I used to cry whenever I get bad marks.
•  I pushed myself too hard that I am already on my limits
•  I am an ugly ducking where all those zits just keeps messing up my face because of sleepless nights I have to endure
•  I have no time for "me-time"
•  I compare myself to those who are better than me.

BUT what I do have right now:

1.  A caring brother who is ALWAYS there for me. He never left my side even during my weakest moments. He even told me I was beautiful inside out and that I should never ever compare myself. He even gave me a hug that I badly need the most.
2.  New friends who kept encouraging me that I should hang on and soon, I will succeed.
3.  Never be afraid to fail. If you did, so what?! Why stress myself. Its just not worth it. When I fail, that has a purpose to make me even stronger. Whatever does not kill only makes you stronger.
4.  Take note of your mistakes. Don't be afraid of them.
5.  Make most of your worthwhile time.
6.  Practice! Practice! Eat good food and breathe!
7.  God who gives me everything I need even if I fail to notice.

So I guess, even if I am an ugly duckling today, tommorow and the month after, I have a family to always back me up. But still, I need all the divine intervention that I need. This is such a crucical time for me right now.Before I turn 23 very soon, I fervently hope God hears my wish. Amen.

Thanks to the great 1 Peso Cebu Pacific Sale, the Wanderlust Chronicles already has bookings for 2010, this time expanding to North East Asia! Awesome!

I was up until 3 AM and had to wake up at 8 to double confirm the bookings - but it's all done, and it definitely worth it! It was all sooo exhilirating, soo much fun! The fares were dirt cheap - crazy I tell you! Get this - I'm flying to Japan for the cost of a meal here in Singapore. And the flight to Korea was even cheaper than that. OMFG! This is it! Plus, I finally get to apply for visas! I'm so damn excited!

Oh God, I miss feelings like this, it has been a while since the last time I booked tickets. It's an addiction I tell you! No matter how hectic life is, the craze of coordinating dates and passport details always gives me a high. It's just been too long, I forgot how good the feeling was!

Big shout out of thanks to Jigjig who told me all about this. What they say is really true - it's not what you know, its who you know AND what they know! ha ha!

I was born in 1987 - which means I've been through four presidents and 2 EDSA revolutions and some that claim to be. This also means that I've been through three presidential elections, one where I actually went to our nearest public elementary school to vote. That also means, I've been through all of the things that define Philippine presidential elections - from mud-slinging to the cheating controversies. But it's not all bad - in fact, I think it's one of the best and most entertaining periods of any election year! Take this for example:

A pessimist would say that it's amazing how a death could bring another person's political career to life. But to be honest, this particular ad made me feel good, made me feel hopeful about the Philippines and what it could be.

Maybe it's because it's star studded - heck, it's a friggin constellation. (got to love celeb cameos!) But i guess, it's more of the fact that I believe the Philippines needs a president that will unify all of us, lead us to one direction (and of course continue the legacy of PGMA. haha biased much? haha).

Is Noynoy the answer? After seeing this ad, maybe. That's what I have now, a "maybe." If only there's another video that talked more about him instead of his parents, then maybe that "maybe" can turn into a resounding yes!

One thing's for sure, I'm definitely going home to vote. Definitely.
