This is not a blog entry about love.

“Someday, you will meet someone who will reintroduce you to yourself” 
We used to and still kid one of my friends on this saying that perhaps she was in love to this “someone”, and she would often say “no”, however the no would usually contradict the sparkle you see in her eyes. Up to this day, she has never labeled her “someone” as someone she is romantically attracted to - instead our conversations and prodding would end to the “someone” being someone she considers to be special.

And I think now I know what she meant.

In life, we meet people we get to know and in the process of knowing them you get to know yourself again. 

Living the same routine everyday gets boring, and more often, we can get lost into the rhythm - waking up, going to work, doing what you have to do, going home, sleeping. We forget what it’s like how to live, how to appreciate the things and people around us. Then someone comes and asks you about your past, your present and your plans about the future. Someone asks questions you never thought of asking yourself. 

And then one day you’ll wake up brighter, one day you just see things in a different light. You even start to think of hobbies and you start laughing more. You eventually realize you’ve become someone you never intended to be and somehow, now you know where and who you really want to be. 

And no, this is not the romantic, head over heels kind of love. And no, I dont have sparkles in my eyes. And yes, i think you can have more than one in your lifetime.

I do think too, that these “someone”s were never meant to stay. The paths He created were designed to allow you to cross paths for a time probably more than once, and then move on, to different, could be parallel directions. And once they’re gone, you are not in the sad-broken-hearted state. Because it was never about being in love. 

And whenever we think of them, we become grateful, because they left us a gift — of finding yourself when you never even thought you were lost. 

So there, this was never a blog entry about love, this was a blog entry again born out of procrastination, and yes my friend, I think I understand you now. 🤗

and things will start to change..

to start it all: my hair! haha. it's short now. like kindergarten short. haha. i like it. and i wanted to have my hair cut since summer, but because of grad pictorials, i need to postpone it. and grad pictorials are done - and i don't want to postpone it any longer. haha. so i had my hair cut yesterday afternoon after watching the Agnes of God play with my brother. (i have no decent pictures yet so you need to see me personally if you want to see it. i feel weird. i think it looks weird. haha.) and so everything follows. *** change is something inevitable. a natural phenomenon that would definitely happen in one way or another. we can't stop it (i think) but we can postpone it and i think i've postponed "that" inevitable change for too long now, and I have no other choice but to let it happen. i've already felt the urge to remove that something from my system at the start of the sem (as the change im talking about). well, i knew i need to deal wi...

a sad day.

i was a messenger last tuesday for my mom. she asked me to whisper a message to my tita. and just this afternoon, while i was in the lab for thesis, my mother texted me that tita lita is gone. it was quite expected, since this has been her third time in the past 3 months to be hospitalized. her third time that transfusion is needed. and of the three times, maybe this was the worst. *** she has given a lot to others. to her parents, her siblings and to us, her nephews and nieces. i was able to live with her for three years during high school and i have a lot of things to thank her for. I'm not that sure if she knows how grateful i am that i was able to stay with her during those times. looking back i would not have chosen any other place to stay for high school apart from hers. no matter how far paranaque may be in manila. i would never forget the mornings where she would wake up early too since i need to be at school early and she would stay late in pnu since our classe...
