This saves my day

Turf: in my favorite spot
Dash: googling



This is just a quick post. I don't know how to give it an opening? I guess, so many have known Jessica Zafra she is a Filipino writer, and she is one of the great writers (for me) in the country. I've started to read her column in the Woman's Today Magazine when I was still in my primary until her last written column and I could say is "I love all her column" her writing style is superb, you're like seeing the reality while reading it. She is too awesome, she is one of my inspiration while growing up, I want to become a great writer like her, but it comes out that I never get near even to her toenails (you know what I mean?). I have never been as good as she is when it comes to writing ability, but I'm trying. Up to now I'm trying (trying all my best, squeezing all the neurons in my brain that could possibly help improve my writings. I guess, the only good thing to me is I never give up, and I accept the fact that the room for my improvement is still so big.



So that's it, it is almost past 1am when her name suddenly incurred in my mind and I want to google her online site jessicarulestheuniverse but what I typed in the Google search is "Womenagerie", why on earth? while on my mind is on her personal site and another blog site appeared where I read that she come out a book titled 'Womenagerie and Other Tales from the Front' Part 1 and there is Part 2 of it, isn't an awesome surprise for me? While, recollecting the past about her column in Woman's Today and has a slight of this regretful feeling why I thrown out all my The Woman's Today collection magazine then, and without even thinking of saving the copy of her column before I trash it out in the bin. So that, I could ever re-read it a thousand times anytime I wanted to. Anyway enough, of this raving. Finding out that there is a book compilation of her Womenagerie column this saves my day from raving.. And I got a new assignment for myself which is to have a stash of that book from National Bookstore (crossing my finger that NB has the stocks). I really want to have that book, no matter how much sweat will come out of me I'm going to really have that book soon on my hand. Can't wait.

This is all for today, I still have more to share with you I've been thinking to make a travelogue of my humps and bumps in Dubai. Happy weekend.

Wait, there is another site that I want to share with you this is a group I guess teenager writer's whose selling their books online and it seems pretty good to read too and bet you they selling it it for a low price and no shipping fee. If you are a book lover like me and a bit interested for a new new blood writer just visits their sites here.

When simple things makes you extremely happy...'

Turf: in one corner
Dash: cleaning up my closet





The other day a jumbo box of package from my brother in Dubai came, it wasn't a surprise since my mother was expecting it a month ago. Yes, it's a package just for my mother, so I wasn't expecting too that all my things that I've left in Dubai was sent along with it, it is not because I am not going back to Dubai, simply because I knew no matter how long I stayed there, it wasn't become my real home.


One of the things that makes me extremely happy is...



Yes, meet my love Boogie, he has a red, soft, and shiny fur and his nose is a bit distorted (hehehe) and he has a very short tail --still, I loved him. Yesterday evening I had a sound sleep when he is on the top of my chest. He looks a bit sad, and I guess he is whining because I left him in Dubai for so long.



Well, I'm a bit sad too because my first love "BUZZ" is missing. I wonder how he has been taking care of. I knew this post should talk about extreme happiness, but can't contain the little sadness that pinching in to the fact that there is a missing piece in between.



When you are tired and  so so sleepy but peanut butter and buns break the ice and it's so perfect in the taste, The mix of salt and sweet is just balance and it just so wonderful! (I love this American Garden Peanut Butter). When the sound of silence is a beat deafening and the beads of sweat is made the day dull then it brings back the smile on my face--peanut butter and buns made it so.

So, this is how I wrap up these past few days since my last post.

She needs Ken in her Barbie's world


Turf: in my favorite place
Dash: sipping a cup coffee


What on earth I wrote about this? The first day I had my barbie was like all my dream came true for a little girl like me that's the biggest thing. So, I am lucky to have my fairy sister who granted my little wish. Barbie is so lovely, sexy and adorable, but she seems not so happy being alone. What she needs? What lurks in her beautiful world?



I'm a barbie girl, in a barbie world. Life in plastic, it's fantastic!

Every woman needs a man, a man that would add spice to the life of her dull world. Being single is not a mistake, it doesn't mean you're alone, it doesn't mean you're unhappy but there is also a saying that every soul has its soul mate or for every person has an intended partner for you. It's been a long time since barbie doesn't have ken in her life. Her love life is like her barbie clothes so colorful, lively, full of passion, she doesn't even care about the world, she lives full of love, happiness, and in excitement almost every day. Her plans whatsoever quash, but she never intended to, she is somehow veered in other direction for a little while, but she never guest that she stayed in not so particular place for too long. And the beautiful lovely world of Barbie has been sort of become colorless, like in a snap the rain pour out and washed away everything. Barbie didn't cry over spilled milk she is a strong woman, brave enough to face adversity over her life, she knew when to fight and when to surrender. She surrender to the reality that this is life, everything has ups and downs this is the situation which she is not in control of. The soonest she is accustomed to it her active life become laid back, uninteresting, a sort of blank in so many ways.

She continued her life in the path which is she is not belong to, she let her life this ways--colorless. No fuss. Still planning but not moving, she is staying on the axis where she stops. Her heart also stops beating for someone, no intention to get involved, she thought this kind of life is relaxed and not complicated. Not hurtful and yet not too exciting. This is okay. For her life has to move on this way, since she already bore to live this way for a long time without falling for someone.

She creates her own life zone, which is from now on this is where she leads to--she should travel only on this road. But her own life zone is not the perfect destination to travel it is rough, full of wilderness, quiet, so dark, and lifeless. Somehow she realized this is not the life zone she wanted to travel all along, a one with a  total different persona is not her. When she looks in the mirror she doesn't even recognize the person in the mirror, it's a total stranger to her--unhappy and unwanted. "This is not me!" as she shouted frightened to the girl in the mirror, but the girl in the mirror replied to her and said, "Yes, that it's you, haven't you forgotten it's been a long time since you lock up that pretty girl in this four corners of the wall?" "you haven't had a slightest idea how lonely the girl was, how she wanted to go out and see the world again" she takes a back and sank herself on the couch, was it me? Really? After a long pause she knew how Barbie sad was without the love in her heart, and not being cared about is monotonous. Now, she knew she also need Ken in her life. 

Oh, I love you Ken!
