Somebody give me a more apt analogy please

Hello there! Got back from Pulag last night and yes, we reached the peak 3! It was the best our bodies could do! 4 hours going and 4 hours heading back... there were moments when we did ask ourselves, bakit ba natin to gnagawa?? But it was such a relief when our group was able to make it!

I haven't had exercise for months, I jogged last week but that was it... So you can just imagine how my prayers were going days before we left. I seriously didn't know if I can make it (hindi naman patay level pero hingal and give up!) but God, with His grace and  mercy, pulled us through! Praise God!


It was physically draining... emotionally too. I'm not sure if I will be able to post this entry because I just really want to share what has been going on in my mind and heart.. I am so conflicted lately but I keep trying, and encouraging myself when it comes to my relationship with Ed. Several well-meaning friends have stopped me in my tracks and posed meaningful questions for me to reconsider and don't haste when it comes our relationship. But maybe it's both fear and hope that made me hold on with fervent prayers that things would go my way -- that it's going to be fine. That the future in my head will be exactly how I expected it to be..

It was only a few days ago when I was confronted with a situation that called me out of it... I guess God had to do it because I kept negotiating with him, haggling for mine and Ed's future.

It was the cherry on top, so to speak, but it was nothing but bitter. It wasn't the be-all and end-all of everything, but that takes the cake (how ironic are my analogies! Parang ang sararap ng mga analogies ko nh! Just making light of this heavy sitch) and every single thing, every single person who has approached me, every single circumstance that have made me doubt was set clear on stone-- staring at me in the face and replacing my false hope with the truth.

No matter how much I prayed for my plans, God's plan will prevail.

I've been crying for days now... good thing that the rest of my face has been sunburned so it matches my puffy eyes. Mukhang pagod lang!

Nakakalungkot but we have to face the music (there goes that nice analogy again!)...

So You Had a Bad Day

Last Friday, I caught myself getting irritated by the second as I get one bad update after the next at work - confirming either low performance for the month or delay in our campaign activities. I just wanted nothing more but to call it a day and go home...  But since that wasn't an option, I just watched a movie (yup on my own :P) and stuffed my mouth with Taters potato chips (cheese flavor!) and Jamaican pattie (cheesy beef!) later that afternoon. Yup, that made me feel a little better after! We all go through this kind of day, and so soon after ringing in the new year with our hopes and goals too!  Tsktsk! So as I dragged myself to take on the hours that day, I knew that I had to snap out of it and be wary, lest I find myself stuck in the limbo of the daily activities.

Japan: Lit Gardens & Shrines in Kyoto + Japan Travel Tips

On our 3rd day, we went to Kyoto! We bought a one-day Keihan railway pass since Kyoto is about an hour away from Osaka. There are different ways to get to Kyoto but the cheapest and fastest is by train. Taxis are very expensive in Japan! Buses and trains are just about the same price so you can plot your way to this famous spot either way. Fushimi Inari Shrine

Getting Beach-Ready with Wink!

Beach! That is what my mind seems to be saying these days, and on Friday we will be flying to a much-loved beach in Visayas (more about that soon). Finally! The sun and the seas! :D But before we don our swimwear and flip-flops, my friend and I made sure to get our skin beach-ready first. So just last Saturday, we went to Wink Laser & Wax Studio to get our waxing fix. We both have had experience in waxing, shaving and plucking so I think it was a great way to try what Wink has to offer differently in the market. Because we already have something to compare it with, we hope to bring something that will break it down into specifics, not just with the service but with the products and the  ambiance  as well. Hygiene is number 1 One thing worth remembering about Wink is its priority on cleanliness. Holly Chang, the young entrepreneur behind this budding business, is a self-proclaimed OC.
