Courage to be happy!

"kung di mo rin lang kayang kantahin ang isang kanta, hayaan mo na lang ito at pakinggan habang kinakanta ng iba.."

dalawang bagay lang yan, (1) mapapaos ka na nga, magmumukha ka pang tanga, o (2) mageenjoy at makikihum ka na lang habang kinakanta siya ng "TAMA" ng iba. 

"kumbaga sa pag-ibig, kung talagang mahal mo siya, pero hindi talaga kayo para sa isa't isa, hayaan mo nalang siyang maging masaya sa piling ng taong mas mahal niya."

Parang bulaklak lang yan, kung hindi mo kayang alagaan, huwag mo na lang pitasin. Hayaan mo na lang siya sa taong mas mag-aalaga, magpapahalaga at magmamahal sa kanya. Okay, assuming you can do it, but someone else can do it better than you. Let go if you can't handle the situation. Let go.

There may be dignity in not giving up on someone you truly love, but there is more dignity in letting them go so they can experience better love. You just have to have the courage: to take some risks, to let go, to feel the pain, and to be happy. After all, life is about the choices we make.

Have the courage to choose the things that will make you truly happy! 

Know your limitations and defy them.

Make a lot of friends, then filter them. 

Fall in love, but ALWAYS guard your heart. 

Break the rules.

Set yourself free.

YOU DESERVE TO BE HAPPY!

p.s. Sorry for the disorganized thoughts, it's the time of the month so I just need an outlet. 😛😁😌☺️😊

Midlife what?

So I've noticed that my usual self is not the usual self that I am used to. I've been thinking too much and too far from the present scenario.

until I bumped off with this list...

✅ Looking into the mirror and you no longer recognize yourself

⁉️ Desiring to quit a good job.

✅ Unexplained bouts of depression when doing tasks that used to make you happy.

✅ Change of habits. Activities which used to bring pleasure now are boring. Unable to complete or concentrate on tasks which used to be easy.

✅ It feels good to get hurt.

✅ Wanting to run away from everything.

✅ A desire to get into physical shape.

✅ Irritability or unexpected anger.

✅ A desire to surround yourself with different settings.

✅ Desiring a simple life.

✅ Keep re-asking yourself: “Where am I going with my life?

 And it goes on and on and on..

Then I wondered, "when will it be popped out? Somebody let me know please!"

...

Okay. I am running out of ideas now. I just need a venting space for this. 😔😌😐😕😯😑

...

By the way, dreams, they suck! Oh please subconscious mind, stop messing around.. 

Bicol Escapade

We left early the next day. Again, 2 hrs by sea going to Paracale, 45 minutes to Daet, another 2 hrs to Naga and 2 and a half hours para marating ang kaharian ni Salve sa Legazpi. Almost whole day travel para lang nakakain ng Alimango at native na Bicol Express. Fiesta sa dining table nila Salve!!

Tinatamad ako magsulat, next time na ang matinong write up. :)

April has been a very busy and "nomadic" month for me. A month full of "first steps" on places that are very far from home.

While being in a foreign country may be fun, it entails a lot of costs; believe me when I say "A LOT"! :) (especially if you're in Saigon and Bangkok. DO NOT stay near Ben Than Market and any BTS station. HAHAHA!)

For some reasons, I cannot share photos of my 2014 Dora Adventures: April Chapter. :))))

Feb 16, 2014..

At dahil sabi ni Accuweather, nakaset na ang utak ko na "Summer" sa Land down under. But to my surprise, 15 degC ang temperature pag land ng eroplano. sobraaaaang lamig!! and I was like, "I thought it was summer??" buti na lang may dala akong cardigan at casual long sleeve blouses. T.T

Dumating ng hotel ng 10:30am, early check in w/o extra charge is 12pm. naglakad around Glen Waverley.
sobrang lamiiiiiiiig! soloista. humanap ng makakainan. Puro tinapay. Ang ending, bumalik ng "hotel" ng 12:30, buti okay na room ko kundi "Do you wanna build a snowman" ang peg ko. >_________<

Cool boss is cool. Sa halip na magmeeting or magtrabaho kami (kasi technically, naka-OB kami ng Monday), we went to the City at nilibre niya kami ng City tour. nakakaloka na 7:30pm na at ganito pa rin kataas ang sikat ni  Haring Araw. Ganito pala ang tinutukoy na summer ni Mr. Accuweather. :)

With Mr. Santa Claus. joke. haha! City Tour sa double decker bus. kaming tatlo lang ang sakay. hahaha! more like, "Building tour" kasi puro buildings lang ang nakita namin sa tour na itoooo. sayang ang $35 na good for 48 more hours, di naman na ulit namin nagamit. hahaha!
P.S. si boss ang nag-offer na magtake ng picture namin. :)
P.P.S. Demand Planning Team A.K.A. Pink Team.

The not-so-safe na safety shoes. para akong si mcdonalds! at nagkasugat ako dahil sa SAFETY shoes na to. NKKLK!

Finally, we met! :)
With Lily and James, before we went on the Plant Tour.

at dahil natanga sa airport, inuna ang shops kesa sa paghahanap ng airlines check-in counter, nakarating sa boarding gate na ang dala ay web check-in pass. HAHAHA! atttttt, hindi na-i-check-in ang maleta. haha! ok lang, at least mabilis ako nakalabas ng NAIA. HAHAHAHA! buti na lang mga pilipino na ang kasabay ko dito, may nagcocomfort sakin. LOL.

Thank you, HBF! :) napapaisip tuloy ako kung ito na ba ang "travel line" na sinasabi ni Ate dati. hihi.

Hanggang sa susunod na adventure ni Dora! Ciao! :)
