Saturday Scavenger Hunt : BRIDGE(s)
This week's theme: Bridge(s)
This bridge over here can be found in CEBU City here in Philippines. The Orange thing over there says...
Under the Bridge...
So if there is a Second Bridge then where is the First Bridge?....
YES! It's over there -------->Actually, this photos were taken last sembreak when we had our first Vis-Min (Visayas and Mindanao) Tour which was held in Cebu City. Vis-Min Tour was actually participated by 3rd year and 4th year students from different schools here in Mindanao and in Visayas region. The tour was quite fun and it was some kind of a boring experience.
Though I've been to this place a thousand times since I was a kid, It’s no secret that I love taking trips. It allows me to unwind, to try new things, and to take an endless stream of photos which I love sharing with others. There’s also something about exploring a new place or rekindling a friendship with a familiar territory that thrills my blood.

There was a time when I couldn't bear the thought of not making an entry within a week's stretch but those days have come and left, as I did with this blog. I came and left and wrote less and less until I wrote no longer. My presence here at the moment can be justified by a few things: 1) I feel sorry for myself because my emotions no longer translate to words and I used to be able to deal with them. Perhaps this means that I am currently stricken by more compelling feelings not easily transposed (which should be giving me all the more reasons to write). 2) I just want to have a new post, even if it meant sacrificing sense.
This time I’m having my dilemma, dilemma about writing anything about my blog, I couldn’t think of anything. Maybe I’m in a stuck of forgetfulness that I could not formulate any idea. Oblivion is falling down; the vacuous mind is really no meaning. The words are so shallow.
Anyways there are few people who read up my blog, there are few who knew it.
Maybe the best thing I could do right now is to discern and concentrate what would be the best topic I could right in this blog.
I love my theme, you know! I love blue! But I hate every time my head went blank and have nothing to write about...
Sooo sad...*sigh*

V Day is Just arOund the Corner
It's February 2009 and Valentine's Day is just around the cOrner! And that means Valentine's Day with all its chances to share warmth, romance, or just plain fun....
So who has more fun on Valentine’s Day? Those who are Single or those who are Coupled?
“Couples, of course!” Mariel said, enthusiastically. “Why?, you fall in love all over again! Flowers in the morning, sweet messages throughout the day, a romantic dinner, and a Valentine’s gift to cap it off.”
“On the contrary,” Nikka countered, “Valentine’s is not just about romantic love. It’s about
c
elebrating love in all its forms. I can have a fab dinner with my friends or family and have as much fun as you.”I thought:
To those Valentine’s days spent single—doubled over in laughter with my friends, being silly, eating at a restaurant, or hitting the videoke. The bonding, the good vibes, the company. Those days were a blast.
Fast forward to those people who would spend Valentines Day as a couple, waking up to a call from the person you love, those three long-stemmed roses, and, gosh, a dinner date! The ambience, the mood, the candlelight, and the love of your life! What else would be more perfect?
Then later I was transfixed!
“Well?” Honey and Nikka's voice broke my reverie.
Who has more fun on Valentine’s Day? You tell me.

Rain Drops
Have you noticed how much of a cry baby the sky has been lately? Of course you have! Unless you haven’t gone out of your fully soundproofed house that allows you to not hear anything from the outside. And this house you’ve been living like a hermit in has no windows nor cracks on the wall that would allow you a glimpse of the gray outside. And you had no contact from the outside world, meaning no internet, television, cell phones, telephones, beepers, walkie talkies, and friends who are most likely to talk about the weather. So yeah, if you weren’t that type to live like the aforementioned way of life, well, you must have noticed how it’s been raining cats and dogs.
Not so long ago, I was bored at home and it was raining hard. Being a teenager born in the camera generation a.k.a. “Picture! Picture!” generation, I took shots of the raindrops falling on the window. And again, as dramatic as this may sound, the raindrops looked like diamonds in its purest form.
Do you like the rain? ‘Cause I love the rain. But most people don’t like it. I guess this is because the rain has the ability to dampen a person, not only physically but also emotionally and possibly mentally, too. I love the rain. As dramatic as this may sound, the rain comforts me. And also makes me sleepy.
I often hear people say how difficult it is to focus on lessons because of the rain. True, true. Because when it rains, it’s usually cold and like some magical spell, this has the power to lull someone to sleep. Whenever I hear that soft pit-pattering of the rain on the glass window of the classroom I am in or most especially by my bed, I instantly want to curl up and drift into a deep sleep. And the cold wind and dark sky lighting helps bring me into a lazy and lethargic state. Yawn. Now stretch.
On rainy days, it’s funny how my eyes tend to droop lower and lower until they’re shut.
However nowadays, I can’t do that. I just can’t. ‘Cause it’s not only raining cats and dogs in my world and every other student’s world, but also papers and examinations. Am I right or am I right?
And it’s on Monday nights when this overwhelming feeling of laziness creeps in. Monday nights remind me of the three other nights I have to live through to reach Friday nights that end and welcome the weekend. Do you feel the same way?
We may be sleepless this rainy season but remember, everything that gets wet dries up. We shouldn’t get carried away with those drowsy feelings no matter how tempting they are. If we just put our mind into it, those feelings will go away. :)

Teenage Dreamer Queen
What is a dream?
A dream begins in the heart, formulates in the mind, and after, comes to life before your eyes.
It’s an expressions of what I want out of life, of who I truly am.
It’s spreading the joy I want in the world, whether it is simple or not.
It’s bringing out the best in myself and showing people what I have.
I have many dreams in life.
I often use the word “dreamer” to describe myself.
I grew up with the sense that if I had my heart set on something, I would have direction in my life, and I would end up really happy.
They say that it’s better to put the things we’ve always wanted in front of us so that we can attract what we think. So, here goes nothing- actually, everything, in my case.
1. I’m a sucker for traveling. I’ve been just to one country (Japan) the past 8 years of my life and those moments have been nothing short of amazing for the reason that I'm just a kid at that time when I went there to attend the graduation of my elder sister.
One of my dreams is to travel the whole world or the “must-see” countries at least. I just love immersing myself in another culture and in an entirely different place. I still have so much more to see and experience, to capture and learn.
2. “I want to be a psychologist, like the mom in Freaky Friday.” To give a clear definition of what I want my career to be, that is what I say all the time. I just find the human mind and behavior so interesting. There’s so much you can discover. More than that, I want to be able to help people get through their problems and being a psychologist will definitely do that.
But guess what? I ended taking up the course of accountancy. Well, it's fine after all.
3. I love writing and I love fashion. The one venue I’ll be able to do both is a fashion magazine. I would love to be part of a magazine that will allow me to write for them and to style their photo shoots. I can maybe be a writer for ELLE mag? A stylist for US Seventeen? Or how about the next editor-in-chief of Reader's Digest? They all sound great to me.
4. What kind of girl doesn’t fall in love with weddings? Everything about it is just stunning—the dress, the flowers, the food, and of course the love that lingers in the air. I have a dream wedding—actually, I already have so many ideas. Should I have it in another country? Should I make it a celebrity-inspired one? There’s so much I can do! I just want it to be perfect.
But hey! Don't get me wrong, I don't have any plan to get married yet! I'm too young for such kind of life-changing decision in my life.
I dream of this because I want to be happy.
I want to be fulfilled and successful.
I want to make the most out of God’s wonderful creation.
I want to be able to look back at my life and make it worth watching.
How about you? What are your dreams? :)
