here's my two year old phone and its spicy hot keychain from hongkong (thanks kreggy).

so okay, i only have one text message today so i kinda had a hard time choosing which one was the best. haha! obviously, i have no choice. yet still every single text message from the people back home is special to me. so here goes:

"Bibi! Hug received. I think manuwa mi later ug basket after lunch. Miss ya! :)"

awww... :)))

Did you know...

 ... that i only have 32 txts in my inbox (excluding globe advisories) since july 2010?

... that 26 of which came from my man and the rest were from my girl friends?

... that my 1st and 31st text messages have the same exact message?

... that though it only has 4 exact same words with a smiley in the end,

i'll never get tired reading or hearing it over and over again? 

and i hope he knows i feel the same way too.

The Time Traveller's Son

one of the in-flight movies i watched and thoroughly enjoyed on my first ever international flight was the Time Traveller's Wife. somehow this picture i've taken of my brother at parkmall reminded me of that touching film; having to leave the people you love at the most unexpected time and holding on to faith that you'll be together again someday. ahhh.. the complexities of being the "abandoner" and the abandoned.

chicken tinola was perfect for tonight's cold rainy weather.

sorry i wasn't able to take a picture of my dinner plate.

hehe

Cuatro

on my most comfy and battered pajamas.

i'm going to bed early coz i'm sick.

terrible headache + colds + fever.

:(

Tres

this is the nearest clock. 

yeah i know i'm smart enough to print screen my desktop and just copy and paste the clock portion with a calendar freebie. or maybe i was just too lazy to go to the nearest actual clock. i wouldn't be able to take a good picture of it anyway coz it's so high, i couldn't even reach it to change its batteries. i need a ladder to do that job. haha! 

day 3 picture done.

Dos

i'm not proud of this but i never really had a decent purse ever since i got here. i don't even bring anything when we go out. well except for the house keys whenever i get crazy enough to go for a walk alone. so just for the sake of having a picture for day 2, i rummaged through the bag i used on my flight here and  found these: a dirty brush (ewww), my fave coin purse, and a bubble gum. i hurriedly stuffed the remaining bubble gum sticks into my mouth but they were so lata and luod. haha! silly me.

oh well, one thing's for sure, i am not kikay.

hahaha

Uno

everyday is a new day.

just woke up (10:15 am)

:)

oh sweet liberty.

breathe in, breathe out

what better way to spend a cold rainy tuesday afternoon than in the company of good books at a zen inspired garden portion of the local library? a warm cup of swiss miss would have completed the lovely treat.

it's amazing how a 15-minute walk home could change your view in life.

walking against the chilly wind and pouring rain made me realize that life is wonderful.

once you get past that cold and unfriendly phase,

you'll find the warmth you've been seeking for in a place called HOME.

wherever that may be.

the night that was

it's on cold rainy nights like this that my heart goes aching at the thought of you. i reach out for your hand under the covers to look for that familiar warmth only you could bring, only to realize that you are not here with me. that we are in fact, a thousand miles apart.

i try to keep myself warm for who else would? i listen to the gentle purr of the pouring rain, the staccato like sound as it hit the pavement outside.

suddenly i found myself on that fateful rainy night when we first spent the night together. you led me to the rooftop and showed me how the city we both love looks at night. it was beautiful. i was amazed. you hugged me and whispered "i love you" as tiny drops of rain drenched our cold bodies. i managed to look at your handsome face, flashed my sweetest smile and held your gaze for as long as i could until i could no longer contain the flood of emotions i've been trying to hide, like water breaking free from a dam.

we hugged for what seemed like eternity, giving each other heat to fend off the coldness of the night. with your body pressed against mine, i felt your pulse racing wildly inside your chiseled chest. i looked up. you drew me closer. i closed my eyes. and for the first time i let go of everything that's holding me back.

"i love you too."
