Happy Birthday, Mama!

Dearest Mama, 

Thank you for supporting me when I was all by myself.

Thank you for believing in me when I didn't.

Thank you for giving me strength when I had none.

Thank you for understanding me when it was most impossible to.

Thank you for making me feel like I'm the most important person on Earth when I felt useless.

Thank you for praying for me when I needed it the most.

Thank you for loving me even when I don't deserve it.

Thank you for sacrificing your own happiness for mine.

I can never thank you enough for showering me with love and making me feel how it is to have the best mother in the world.

Happy Birthday, Mama!
I love you very much!

 

Am I Ready for the Languages and the Arts?

In the past couple of weeks, I've been doing some soul searching and rethinking what I really want do with my life. It's a tough responsibility I must fulfill. Unfortunately, I'm not one of people who, at an early age, were blessed to realize what they were born to do. I'm part of the majority who try to figure out our purpose in life as we go through our day-to-day survival.

After graduating from college, I had the privilege of having worked in two reputable companies. Although my work experiences are in line with the degree I earned in college, I can't seem to find the fulfillment I'm longing for. I end up being unhappy with the work I have to endure on a daily basis. I try to explore the possibility that I might just need to tweak my attitude as most people would suggest, but I simply feel that I have the wrong occupation. I'm fighting in the wrong battlefield.

With that said, I ask myself, "What must I do?" It's very easy to say that I should leave my current job and follow my heart's desires, but as the cliché goes, it's easier said than done. I'm 25 years old and coming up with a decision when faced with a predicament as such does not get any easier at my age.

Friends Know Me Well

I'm blessed to have friends who know me well enough to know what gifts to give me when the occasion calls for it. Last night when we went out to watch the UA&P Chorale's "Make It Pop" concert and celebrate Angelica's birthday, Kristy handed me a present for my birthday last January.

She gave me a small lined notebook with a message in the front cover that says, "Witty today, humdrum tomorrow. Better make a note."

I love it! I like the way that it fits my personality like a puzzle piece. It says so much about me, especially about my current state. Lately, I've been having hyperbolized mood swings that really gets in my way. This notebook just shows that my friends know me well and I'm grateful for having them. 

In response, I will try my best to control my emotions and to keep them from getting in my daily life. There may be rants in Facebook and Twitter at times, but I'll try to keep them at a low level.

Thanks, Kristy!

Bow,

 

Happy Birthday, Ate She!

 Happy Birthday, Ate She!

May you continue to enlighten and inspire everyone with your creativity, kindness and love. I hope you succeed in whatever path your heart desires to take and I wish that the Lord continues to shower you and your family with bounteous blessings, happiness and unity.

Always,

Skarlet at Boy Katindig Jazz Café

Lately, I've been tagging along with my parents when they go out and have some drinks and listen to live bands. That's how my social life has been the past few days. Hehehe! It can be fun. I just enjoy the free food and drinks! 

Our latest night out was at the opening of Boy Katindig's Jazz Café. We went there in support of my parents' friend Skarlet who was a guest singer that night. She's the front woman of the popular 90's band Put3ska which was known for their song "Manila Girl."

Fortunately I had camera with me. I didn't miss the opportunity to take some pictures of the well-applauded Skarlet.

Julia Gets Her First Haircut

Summer's here! It's the best time for Julia to get her first haircut. Last Sunday, Julia's parents brought her to Cuts 4 Tots in SM MegaMall for a trim. With the help of The Backyardigans playing on video, she behaved as the barber cut her soft baby hair. Good thing I brought my camera along with me and so I took pictures of this milestone. The strands of the cut hair were kept as a memento.
