Splurge of the moment

Turf: in my nest
Dash: watching mundo mo'y akin


This post should mean for last Sunday, so it bank in my mind for more than a week, so many things happen in between. I wanted to post it in my blog but something halted me to do so. So, that's it.

So, last Sunday I went to National Bookstore tagging along my mom, ecstatic and hoping that I would grab one of the Jessica Zafra book Womenagerie and Other Tales from the Front. The bookstore is small and the collections of books are quite few, so, I decided to ask the lady sitting in the customer service for the help and they are so nice to give a hand leading me to a shelf where all the books of Jessica Zafra are located but as we search it seems the book are not available I'm a bit dismayed and it manifest in my face, so the saleslady keeps looking for it but before I lose my patience I told her that I better grab Twisted 9 by Jessica Zafra and I would just come back for it, hopefully they would have it when I visit the bookstore again.

From this book I learned a new word Biblioleptic. It suggests having seizures of joy when you spot a book you've been wanting to read. And that's what I feel when I read a blog about her book Womenagerie and Other Tales from the Front.

As I leave the threshold of the bookstore though I didn't have that book I still have the feeling of satisfaction having in my hand the book of my favorite writer Jessica Zafra knowing the book are still written by her. So the feeling is happy, so I told my mom that I would drop by to Genevieve Gozum shop only to buy a belt but sometimes I have this so-called impulsiveness especially when it comes to clothes and cute things...Hmmm...here I am again. But I couldn't let this one shirt down and leaving the shop without it in my hand. I love buying things when I know it is only one piece and no one will have it, because I don't like wearing the same clothe and same color as same as the other. I don't like the "IN STYLE" fashion when everyone you saw is wearing the same like a uniform. I like to be different in everything I wear with everything I have. 

2 shirts (soft pink with glitters and a black one, but the black one is not mine I'm gonna give it to someone close to my heart --mom) and 1 orange belt.

The shirt is so cute, its glittery and it has a small stone under the heart. The camera of my mobile didn't capture the details of this shirt that I want you to see but failed not.

Isn't glorious to see like this? Its splendid.

But before we leave, my mom treats me to McDonalds for a quick bite, because it's late afternoon and we need to go back home (as we need to fix something as soon as we reach home). As we pass by in C5 Paranaque, I'm lucky enough to see the golden sun setting down, so I grab my mobile and took a shot.

It only takes 1 hour and 43 minutes to smile again

Turf: in front of lappy
Dash: watching Rafael Nadal final match


After blues and bumps of unwanted feelings that you encounter in an invited moments of your solitude in the soonest time it come to you, it is also in the soonest time it will fade away unexpectedly.

I am in search of getting over the minutes of blows which I encountered surprisingly and I don't want to welcome these visitors called "blues" knowing it will bring bad day, bad thoughts, wrinkled face, uneasy feeling etc., Though, as much as possible relying on the FB community to resolve these bouts in your life is isn't normal but somehow you can find a bit of comfort and forget all about it. Browsing the wall posted by my friends on FB I saw the final match of Rafael Nadal in Barcelona and in just 1 hour left it will soon start.

Like all the dark cloud envelopes you at that moment suddenly cleared up and thousands of twinkling stars appeared in front of you to cheer you up.



After long 6 months of rest and recuperation of Rafael Nadal he is finally back in shape, after his comeback he already won 4 different titles and from his no. 1 rank down to no. 4 now in a few months back in the game he ranks to no. 2 he is only 1 step away to the ladder of no. 1 rank title in the tennis world. Rafael Nadal once again proves to the world he is still the same "The King of Clay" by winning the final for his 8th Barcelona title. Its a no surprise to everyone since Rafa knows how he really works hard, how discipline he was when it comes to tennis.



The time has come and connection become the challenge it always connection failed, open link after another, then after another, until decided to refresh the page and a few new link connections appeared, I guess this is what you called "fate". Voila! The links connected and the live streaming starts it almost past an hour before I able to watch the game Rafa's has almost soaked in sweat and the score gives me a twinkling eye its 6-4 1-0 Rafa leads.  Live streaming is freezing almost every second but it doesn't matter anymore, what matter is watching the final that creates another history in the name of Rafa. My heart is throbbing doubled though I only watched it on the flat screen of my laptop, but the feeling is like I'm seated in the bleacher with thousands of people shouting aloud around me. This is intense. The tensions are getting deeper as I've watched his opponent Almagro is also a very competent player to win. I tried not to focus on his opponent rather I focus myself and my thoughts only to Rafa that he is going to win this match (he must for the record sake of his comeback). And yes, he did in 1 hour and 43 minutes Rafa win the match I clap and almost cried in happiness as he lifted his arm as a sign of victory. In almost 2 hours all the unwanted feelings has been subsided and thanks GOD everything has been back to normal.

Like Rafa I believe that we need time to rest and recuperate and find the solution on how to build ourselves again for our own sake and for the others.


The secret of many a man's success in the world resides in his insight into the moods of men and his tact in dealing with them. - J.G. Holland

Lost in space

Turf: laundry room
Dash: doing laundry



There are times when you want to have a super power like those superheroes who can time travel or just transport yourself to a place where you want to be just for a little while and erase the inevitable moments that you bump. And totally immerse yourself in a beautiful place where it will become your paradise even just for the time being. If only, the feeling can be just one candy away, or just one melted ice cream and poop it is all in place.

If only....



Feelings are hard to express, especially those innate one -- knowing the one involved is close to your heart but let's say everyone encounters this kind of bumps and nevertheless, a feeling of guilt, left a question mark on you. This one question mark leaves a trace and you trail in it to find the answer and resolve it. Because this gives you uneasy feeling and you object it. Yes, you object it to the very core of your being, because you love that person. So, you choose to be powerless, meek, and more understanding even though you merely understand the situation happen to both of you.

A feeling that form a question mark which lead you to know more about yourself, your love ones, and give you the push to be a better person everyday, so you can give more of you without even asking in return for it.


The great blessings of mankind are within us and within our reach; but we shut our eyes, and like people in the dark, we fall foul upon the very thing we search for, without finding it. -- Seneca (7 B.C. - 65 A.D.)
