2013 is the year of (extra) maturity for me, which means, I'm not the same kid anymore who sits on the school bench and wonder about life, because right now: 1) I'm not a kid anymore, 2) I'm living the life already and 3) every breath I take, I take it as a mature one (Thank you for the applause!) After days of contemplation, it finally came to me what my grandparents and parents were actually saying.. that... "You go ahead, do your own thing, get married, make a family and have a wonderful life blah blah blah blah." And to tell you honestly, it never did sink in to me before because for some reason the universe won't let me take it... but now it feels okay, it feels GREAT already. I'm not that old, though; quite young for others, very young for a few, too old for toddlers' stuff toys but just enough to *mature stuff*, but hey, I'm an adult and matured. My way of thinking is kind of cool (Sige na please, I'm claiming, others said I'm fre...

This is the first Friday of the year 2013 and it's raining... You know what everyone feels when it comes to waking up early while it's raining... to go back to bed at the very least and screw all workload or activities for the whole day. Anyway, while I'm sipping a hot coffee while typing these words, I already got a text from my boss. Nothing much, not very alarming, it's just a response on my message... nothing negative just yet.

After tonight, we're on a new year. Fast-paced, right? 2012 has been kinda uncool for me yet I'm very thankful for everything that it taught me. I just couldn't believe that in a few hours a new year will be on, and right now I'm wishing that 2013 could be a great year for all of us since that we survived the hardest stuff of 2012. My life is just starting on the new phase. After studying, I started working right away and everything else followed until such time that it tested me to be stronger. 2012 had this unique way of showing challenges and solutions, you just needed to find out how it could suffice the required system for each. I was able to endure majority of those stuff, conquered it and apparently survived. I'm proud. My aunt passed away this year. It was one of those downfalls that my family had this 2012. Holidays aren't the same anymore because we aren't complete, but life still goes on and we try to grasp everything as we try to be present fo...

Just One Last Time by David Guetta feat. Taped Rai video from YouTube Happy last day of 2012 people! Let's listen to some David Guetta and Taped Rai for today. This is indeed an impressive one, the song got some wonderful lyrics with a great rhythm. I've been listening to this song for more than ten times already. Haha! Enjoy! Even though it hurts I can't slow down Walls are closing in and I hit the ground Whispers of tomorrow echo in my mind Just one last time

It's a Merry Christmas! Hello ya'll! I just want to extend my gratitude to everyone who greeted me and my family this Christmas! Your greetings are very heart warming and awesome, it makes me want to jump up and down. Thank you so much, friends. Thank you people for all the twitter mentions, favorites and retweets, including also your Facebook messages! You don't have any idea how happy I am to receive all of those. I really hope that you guys are spending the Christmas eve fruitfully. Let's thank the Lord above for giving us a wonderful and peaceful Christmas. We are all fortunate to have food to eat, shelter, family, friends and special someone to share all the blessings with. Let's give thanks and allow ourselves feel the whole spirit of the holidays. Let us show our love to those people around us and give a hand to those who are in need. Merry Christmas, folks!! Have a wonderful day ahead. Hugs and kisses.

Last Christmas was very fruitful for my whole family (well, this coming Christmas too), but since that I'm kinda living the independent life now, it made me realize that it's nice yet hard to be an adult. I had the last chance to ditch that borderline life and it was successful because the world hasn't ended yet. Well, I guess, that's what happen when you have faith; no matter how impossible or hard a thing will be, you won't find it so negative 'cause you always have a good say about stuff... simply because you have faith and with that, you're looking at the bright side of life. Oh, the spirit of Christmas. My dad's coming home from Singapore and I wonder how things have changed in a span of a year. The last time I saw him was Christmas last year. He didn't make it to any of my college ceremonies especially my graduation. It was kinda sad but it was okay. We talk about work and other adult stuff like expenses, gadgets, car, lovelife... which I ref...

Dear November 2012, This is going to be the last day that you're gonna be around, so I want to thank you for every moment that did count. Perfection isn't a thing for me because I know nothing will be perfect in this damn universe, but let me tell you that you did something that I can treasure for the rest of this year and for the rest of my entire life. This year will end soon, quite fast I know... just like how you ended. To tell you honestly, I'm not ready for December yet. You don't need to know the reason why; it's kinda crucial to tell though and I know that no matter what, I must keep it cool and be prepared on what's to come... Which is kinda hard to do but don't worry, I'm trying. *wink* It's really surprising for me that you're gonna leave us in a few. Thanks for the wonderful you. You gave me things I won't forget and gave me so much to work on for the next month - I must do it because I know it will be all good. I wish I co...
