Summer Ready
Apr 5, 2008 Buzz, Daily Blurbs, Stuff
Today, after getting my allowance from my internship, I headed to the mall and met up with my sister, Juvy. I bought a new swimsuit since my old swimsuits have been worn by me for the last 3 summers. I needed something new to wear at Puerto Galera. There were so many to choose from, but I settled for this brown printed swimsuit. I wanted a one-piece swimsuit, but most of the swimsuits available are like this (see picture), or bikinis, which I don’t think I can ever wear. I also bought a white sheer top to help block the sun when I’m out on the beach. Of course I can always use skin lightening products, but I guess, I’ll stick to the natural way and wait for my color to come back.
I am quite excited to go to the beach, I even made a new layout but I haven’t started to code it yet, so it may take a while before I put it up. I tend to procrastinate when it comes to coding with Wordpress. I can only say that the new layout is summery and colorful. I used a photo taken in Puerto Galera last year. I might wait until I get new pictures before I really publish the new layout, just so I can change the picture for a new one.

Some Discoveries
Mar 27, 2008 Daily Blurbs, Hype, Stuff
I woke up this morning and discovered that my passport is here along with Ryan’s. That means we’re ready for travel! In our passport, it says, “Not valid for travel to Iraq.” I do not have plans to go there, as it is quite scary. Now that we have the passport, we can carry on making plans for future travels. Of course, we don’t need it to go to Puerto Galera, as mentioned in my previous post, but surely, Asia is our first continental target. Nope, we’re not blowing up a country!
Another discovery is Coke Zero. It’s like drinking Coke without the sugar. Yep, it doesn’t taste like your regular diet sodas. I am trying to cut back on fatty food, since I am going to the beach and I will be working soon. I have lost at least 2lbs., cool huh? All because of eating everything in moderation. I cut back on my rice intake, less soda, more water, less bread, more fruits and veggies. I just started last week and my previous professor in school already noticed the change and commented, “You’re looking slimmer.” I knew my new plan would work, eating everything but in moderation. I can still eat my favorite chips, but only a handful; and notice the coke inside the glass? It’s not even full even if I know there’s no sugar.
I also had a medical-related discovery. Well, it is quite fashionable, too.

How Do I Love Thee?
Feb 14, 2008 Daily Blurbs, Stuff
We all know what today is. It is that one day of the year that flowers, chocolates and teddy bears are overpriced. Well, I am sort of exaggerating… NOT! I am not a big fan of this day, but I am welcome to the idea that it could be a special day. My boyfriend and I agreed not to make a big fuzz about this day. We don’t like the idea that the best kind of love should be expressed and squeezed on one “special” and commercialized occasion.
Before I met Ryan, I became skeptical and cynical about love. I thought that being in love is corny, but deep down, I know that I am just being cynic and fooling myself. I was deeply hurt a few years back, and it took some time for me to get over the fact that I was kicked in the head over and over by the same guy.
After a few months, I was back in the game. The game of life. I embraced being single and enjoyed life with my friends and family. I dated a few guys, one each year that I was single, but on the last year, I was able to date three. Not at the same time, though… *winks*
Moving on…
I am not going to say that there is a big difference about how I live my life since becoming attached to someone. Being single for four consecutive years helped me become independent and I learned to love myself more. I know I can do things on my own. Until now, when I am 
doing something quite hard, Ryan would offer his help, and unknowingly, I would reject it. I don’t really have to show that I don’t need a man to prove my worth, but, I just got used to it. Now, I am more aware of this, and sometimes, I let him do things for me when he offers. I know he means well.
Today, whether you’re single or attached; remember, Valentine’s Day is just one day out of the 365 days that you can be in love with someone, or be loved by someone. Don’t let this day stress you out. Make everyday a time for you to reflect on your life and find love in the strangest of places.
Family-love, friend-love, or self-love is still love in itself.
