As I was browsing through the archives of Random Ria, I stumbled upon something I said which, I think, is something very moving... Sometimes something earth-shattering happens in our lives. And in our quest to have a sense of normalcy, we get trapped in a routine. Unfortunately, our routine only reminds us of the pain and suffering. And instead of normalcy, what we get is a deathtrap of emotions. But still we are afraid, afraid to move on, afraid of change, afraid that another thing might only give us more pain. Unfortunately, our fear and anxiety paralyze us. I don't remember what happened then, what compelled me to write this, but it might have been something important enough, something big enough for me to write. Today, as I read it, I feel the same emotions. Am I trapped once again?

Fabulous!
Coz I rarely wear a dress or anything girly, I think Tia Alot's Birthday Extravaganza at the Marco Polo last week deserves a post. Here are some fabulous pictures of me and my cousins who were all forced to dress up for the event... Me Chian and I plotting which city CORPO will conquer next. Me and cutie pie Anyssa who was in a good mood. Tinky the super late comer, Me, and Kuya Andrew Gwing, Kuya, and Me DotA Princesses: Me, Gwing, and Luan Me, Gwing, and Luan doing our FEELING SUPERSTAR POSE!
Lessons I Learned Today
Here are some things I realized throughout this day... 1.) Be patient. 2.) Don't not be quick to say things when you are angry. You might regret it. 3.) Trust. 4.) When feeling intense emotions, take a deep breath, work, immerse yourself in productive things rather than wallow in anger or pain. 5.) Let go of things that only add to your stress especially if these things do not contribute to your personal growth. 6.) Smile. Laugh. There's always something to be happy about. 7.) Be thankful. There is always something to be thankful for.
Kristen Bell on Heroes!
As if Heroes is not yet hot enough, this season Veronica Mars Kristen Bell has a recurring role as bad-ass Elle with the powers of electricity. LOVE! SPOILERSSS AHEAD! Elle already appeared in Episode 6 where she... killed somebody. WHOA!!! I love her already. She is an "investigator" working for the The Company. She is tasked with looking for Peter Petrelli who has amnesia. I have misgivings about her being given the role of an "investigator" but what the hell... I love her! I love Heroes! And she's now a meanie... I LOVE IT!!!
Our Titas Are Having a Pajama Party
Ok, so... you were probably already weirded out that my Ninang Ivi reads my blog. Now here's something weirder... my aunts are having a pajama sleepover party right now. Yup, you heard that right, my aunts meaning to say my mom's sisters and their cousins are having a sleepover at Tita Puring's house right now. I'm talking about women wayyy past their teenage years... most of them probably beyond their midlife years. Hmmm...
Extraordinary by Mandy Moore
EXTRAORDINARY by Mandy Moore I was a bay tree Quiet and unseen I lived in stories but inside I kept a mystery I was a starling Nobody’s darling Flying in perfect circles Desperate company And now I’m ready And now I’m ready And now I’m ready to be Extraordinary A midnight airplane A window blowing I know I am another sparkle in the sky I shine on copper Still undiscovered But you must see me in the corner of your eye And now I’m ready And now I’m ready And now I’m ready to be Extraordinary Waking up to wake up some day I am my own prey Stopping off at a sidewalk cafe The wind is playing up in the trees Kicking up confetti leaves Sings as if it’s all to say And now I’m ready And now I’m ready And now I’m ready to be Extraordinary And now I’m ready And now I’m ready And now I’m ready to be Extraordinary
