Fishworld

It’s my first time to go to Manila Ocean Park. The students of my sister Janice back out from that field trip. Because of that, we were forced (gian, nyle and me) to fill the slot so the reservation won’t be put to waste. And I’m glad we did! Coz it’s so soothing to look at the 300 plus different species of aquatic life we found there. You’ll be amaze at how vast and rich the fish world is! It makes me feel insignificant seeing them in different sizes, colors, appearance and all their glory. Especially when I saw giant sharks and manta rays swimming above us in Buhay na Karagatan (Living Ocean) area. All the fishes are worth spending my time and energy for. But my favorite of all is the doctor fish!

doctor fish bites are tickling. lol

what's with my feet?

or with my hand?

I swear I wanted to take a picture of each and every marine life I saw there! So many fishes, so little time. Lol. But halfway during our tour, I felt guilty. Kc here I am taking a glimpse and picture of them, but there they are, trapped in a big aquarium just for people like me to enjoy them. They should be in their natural habitat. They should be in the open water. But maybe, if the fishes know that they bring so much joy to their spectator, especially the young ones, then they would feel that their residing there is significant. Before I start wondering if fishes have conscience or not (lol), I’ll finish this up by posting my pictures with these fine-looking creatures. If you have time, why don’t you visit it? As for me, I’ll definitely come back. It is really a deeper experience!

a plea

Please don’t let any revisions be sent today! Kc I'm really tired. Not physically though. It’s more of mental exhaustion. Last night, I left office a little late. I wanted to finish the project so bad that I almost cried while completing it. Anyway, it’s done. But today I just want to chill out. I don’t want to think of any window details or door details or dimensioning or modifying structural plans or lines or hatching or finishing materials to use. Please! Just for today.

Today, I want to write in my blog. I want to start the photoshop xmas card I want to post on holiday season. To download New Moon soundtrack. To have my usual kulitan moments with B and Gino. I want to chat up with my ate. I want to read the blogs I follow. And my resto, it’s been 2 days that I haven’t open it up. My loyal customers might eat somewhere. I miss Facebook already. Lol.

Dear God, just give me an hour or two of pure “petiksness”. I just need a moment outside work. To pause for a while. After that, I’m ready again! You can bring all the projects on! But can I make another request? Just bring the easy projects only?! OK? Ok! ;)

New Moon

My addiction to Twilight started as a coincidence only. I like vampire movies ever since. I get fascinated by the stories these kind of movies always offer. So when I heard the movie Twilight last December, I watched it coz first it is a vampire movie and second I watched it out of curiosity. What is this film all about that creates a big buzz around the world? What is this phenomenon that I’m not aware of?

So I watched it. Learned that it’s based on a bestseller book and have a series. I first downloaded an e-book. Then an audio book. Then I bought the books! I can’t seem to get enough of it! Lol. You may ask the most basic question: Why did I get addicted to it? Well, I love Edward and Bella - their love story. How Edward’s love is so selfless and how his love is greater than his thirst, while Bella thinks that she is so ordinary. Anyway, a fellow twilight fanatic would understand. No need to justify myself.

Since last year, I’ve been awaiting for the sequel movie - New Moon. And now it’s finally here. I’m filled with excitement that my heart is beating so fast while watching! Finally I saw it. I’m so happy! I must say this movie is better than Twilight and better than the book! All the important parts are beautifully captured in this film. And to actually watch my Edward in the big screen again, heaven! Lol. I don’t want to give all the details away. You just have to see it to appreciate it. But I have three words for this film: enticing (tlg I don’t want to go to cr afraid I must miss something), visually captivating (just look at Jacob’s abs, you’ll know what I mean), and oh so kakakilig! What do you expect from Edward and Bella?

The last part wants me to scream for MORE! Hayyy... When will ECLIPSE be shown?

sweet 18

Last Saturday, I accompany my mother in attending an 18^th birthday celebration or a debut. When I see young people celebrating life, it made me wonder where have all the years go? It’s been 10 years since I celebrated my 18^th birthday. Wahhh! Ten years! (I’m really old. *frown) Anyway, I didn't have a glamorous party back then. We just had a simple celebration with my family and friends. But I didn’t mind not having an extravagant party (like what I witnessed on the birthday we attended) What I regret, was the fact that back when I was 18, I DON’T even know who Joyce was. :(

Sad to say, when I was younger I don’t have my own identity. I just go with the flow. I was afraid to speak my mind. I made bad decisions just coz I’m afraid to be different and I felt that my choices were limited. I was also so shy. I thought I can never be more than what I wanted to be. That big opportunities are for some people only. I was lost with trivial things. I spent my teenage years, thinking about shallow things. But the worst for me: I forgot to dream…..for myself…

Anyway, as I always say, life is good. Everything happens for a reason. I might not be the girl I wanted myself to be back then, but now I know what I want and what gives joy to me. I know now what matters most. I have dreams and I have faith it would all come true in God’s perfect time. Even if it happens 10 years or 20 years later or for how many years! Lol.

However, don’t you just wish you're still 18?

before year 2009 ends

Whenever “ber” months are here, I notice I became more sentimental. I don’t know. Maybe because of the 3 occasions closest to my heart is going to happen during these months. First my birthday, then of course christmas and technically new year.

And since I’m another year older (and wiser hopefully) I’m thinking I want to do something and mean it this time. Kc most of the time I plan, plan, and plan. But all I end up is plans. So before 2009 ends, here are the things I “HAVE” (as in compulsory) to do:

- to create a blog and really write there. (like what I'm doing now. lol)

- to buy a laptop. For me to see that all my 12 months of going to work and enslaving myself have gone to good investment after all.

- to find a teaching job. I know it seems impossible specially this time of year but I'm crossing my fingers for this one.

- to find the time to treat my mom into a movie

- to really be in touch with the artistic side of me

- to volunteer

- to make whatever plans I have into a reality

Easily said than done. I pray ill be able to fulfill all of these before 2010 strikes. Here’s to living one day at a time that will bring me closer to all my dreams! Cheers!

hello world wide web

Day by day, as I read different blogs from different people, I was so inspired to write and have my own blog also. But once I start writing or composing my first blog entry, it always ended unfinished or I suddenly felt it was not a good idea at all. (lets see if this one is different).

Honestly, I don't know what to write. Or why i even want to write at the first place. My "into" blogging started when i was so depressed from a past love that i started pouring my emotions down in a little space in the world wide web. then i got hooked up. it's like documenting my life for the world to read. Voicing my opinions, or telling what i feel at that time. Narrating what happens in my day. Or just simple write random things. Simple things like that, that unexpectedly give satisfaction to my soul. Don't worry nothing nose bleeding or debatable topic in my blog. Its just me, the little girl, blogging her heart out!

So bear with me as I walk in this new chapter of my life. The part where life is written by the one who knows me best --- myself :)
