21. Look back. Why did you choose this challenge?...
As far as I can remember, this challenge is called “Deep Thoughts” challenge or something to that effect. I dunno exactly why I chose it. I just think it’s pretty interesting to say the least. And I’m hella bored. I guess that’s the main thing it says about me and I don’t have anything to write about and I just opted to stick with challenges like this one. MEH.

Empty Promises
People need to stop with this mess. If you say you are gonna do it, then do it. If you are not sure that you CAN and WILL do it, then don’t say anything. It sets people up for disappointment and anger. I mean, what happened to “A MAN’S WORD IS GOLD”? I still live by that rule. No matter how small it seems to me, if I told someone I would do it, I will. I can’t...

"Love becomes greater and nobler in calamity."
I just have started working on my book report (both oral and written) for our World Lit class and I’m dissecting one of my favorite literary works - Love in the Time of Cholera by Gabriel Garcia Marquez.
Being the sentimental romantic and old soul that I am, it evoked so much emotions in me. It stirred my soul like no other book can. It made me realize that love survives, love persists and...

19. If you could be anywhere in the world, but you...
There’s this aunt of mine who celebrates her birthday in a not so usual way. She spends it at the Golden Acres Home for the Aged and does all sorts of things she can to give help and fun to the old people staying there. I think she has been doing it for 5 years or so already. She inspires me so much because she’s quite affluent already yet she still finds time to lend a hand to other...

18. Talk about your extended family. Why do you...
Most of ‘em are scattered around the metro - in Fairview, Novaliches, Alabang, Makati. Some residing in the provinces like Batangas, Tuguegarao, Baguio etc. A few of ‘em have already migrated abroad - USA, Germany, Canada. I rarely see them especially those outside the country. We never see eye-to-eye too often unless there would be a special occasion or holidays. They’re a fun...

When I get all insecure:
ME: What if everything that makes me “me” vanishes? As in lahat-lahat nang nagustuhan at minahal mo sa’kin, mawala na lang bigla. Tell me, will you still love me in the morning?
HIM: Of course! Baby, I don’t really need reasons for me to love you. Mahal kita kasi mahal kita. That’s the beginning and end of it. So huwag ka nang mag-isip ng kung anu-ano okay?
ME:...

17. Who was the last person you kissed? (If you...
Okay, I don’t wanna sound so narcissistic and vain but the last person I kissed was the person I last saw in the mirror. LOL. True!
My alter ego would say how really conceited this woman can get. She’d understand though. We both damn well know I need all the self-love I can muster because it’s been so long since I felt that.

MANDARIN, Y U SO FUCKING HARD?
So we just had our midterm exam today and maaaaaan, my ass will be such a dead meat come the results. It’s not that I didn’t study or review because the forces of universe know I did, I sooo fucking did! It’s just that I am not so into this subject so maybe I really wasn’t my usual, ahem, studious self when absorbing the lessons. If I were to have my way, I’d rather...

16. What are you passionate about?
I don’t wanna go into so much details. To keep it short and simple, I am passionate about LIFE itself. Even though it sucks sometimes (make that most of the time), I still believe in its beauty. Despite of its flaws, imperfections and shortcomings, I’ve learned to take life’s roses along with its inevitable thorns.
Life’s a bitch that’s why it’s hard. If it...

"Extra Rice" is my new middle name!
My friend commented today while we were having lunch, “Pansin ko lagi kang may extra rice tuwing kumakain tayo. Hindi mo pa nga tapos ‘yung unang kanin, mayroon na kaagad reserba.”
Ouch. Can a girl not indulge once in a while? I’ve been trying to gain weight since 2011 started because I decided that I’d rather be full of love handles than ultra skinny. And when I...

Apologized after our messy, nasty fight:
ME: Baby, I’m sorry.
HIM: For what?
ME: For everything. Alam mo naman lahat ng kagagahan ko eh.
HIM: Sssh. We can both be so stupid sometimes. Pareho naman tayong may kanya-kanya mali. I’m sorry too. And I love you so very much!
ME: *thinking how much I could never do without this guy*
