“I hope that someday, somebody wants to hold you for twenty minutes straight, and that’s all they do. They don’t pull away. They don’t look at your face. They don’t try to kiss you. All they do is wrap you up in their arms, without an ounce of selfishness in it.” —Jenna as portrayed by Keri Russell, Waitress (via victoryblues) (via danceintherain) (via christinecalugay)

Self-Conclusion

Realizing what you want, doesn’t mean it’s the right time to ask for it. I think that when I can no longer be happy without having what it is I want, then I’ll go after it. Now is not the time. :) And that’s okay with me.

Say

01. I just want you to be okay. Smile. Don’t stress yourself out too much!

02. To you both, I’m sorry I make it hard for you to love me. I’m sorry I’ve disappointed you.

03. I’m not quite sure why, but even though you’ve always been there for me, you irk me like no other. But really, thank you.

04. I still think about you sometimes. I wish we could have been friends, but I know that won’t happen. Good luck with life. Be happy.

05. I’m excited for this summer and new things to come. I wouldn’t have imagined that we’d have become as close as we are, but I’m glad for it.

06. We don’t talk anymore, but I hope you’re finding your way to what you’re in search of.

07. I wish you’d open up more to me, but I won’t push. Just look for the brighter days ahead. You’ll be okay.

08. Sincerely, I wish for you to grow up with your playful sense of what life means. As long as you have that, you’ll be fine, I know of it. Please grow up happily.

09. Obviously we’re not as close as before since you’ve moved, but I’m glad that whenever you come back home, we can still laugh at the same nothings we always have. I’m sorry I’ve disappointed you too.

10. I know I have to hold myself back with you. It doesn’t feel like something I’m doing naturally, but something I have to constantly remind myself to do. I just hope in some ways, you’re holding yourself back too.

Have no fear for givn’ over

It’s better to say too much
Than to never say what you need to say again
Say what you need to say

Time Has Wings

Today is my little brother’s 10th birthday.
Oh how they grow up so fast.
John, my older brother, came home for the occasion.
Catching up with him always cheers me up.
My dad also returned from the Philippines this afternoon.
I’m kind of nervous about talking with him.
I found out today that an aunt & uncle of mine recently just got married.
I thought they were already married for my entire life!
I also found out today that I already knew “his” mom, but was just never introduced to her as his girlfriend (ex status).
She buys supplies from us to sell at her own store. My manager called her my “ex-mother-in-law”.
Time flies by when you’re having fun.

J: whoaaa
J: it’s been 3 weeks already?
J: crazyyy
J: time flies by
S: Yeap.
J: dude…seriously
S: Hm?
J: i feel like…my hair is getting whiter
J: as we speak
S: LOL.

Looking forward to:
- Finishing this semester
- Passing CNA State Board Exam
- 19th birthday
- Moving out
- Cali trip w/ the fambam

..hopefully this heat doesn’t kill me first.

Acoustic Guitar, Piano, & Violin

- Sae, Malvyn, & I kick butt in Cranium: WOW Edition.
- It proves Sae & I think a lot alike, with five years of friendship to back it up.
- The guys greatly impressed me tonight with their musical talents. ♥ ;)
- And it doesn’t matter if you can sing well or not, kareoke-ing you’re with friends, is amazing all the same.

Today was a very, very good day. Despite the lack of sleep I endured last night. Two hours total. Eeek. I’m exhausted. I hope you guys had a fantastic day as well. :)

Listen

“Face A La Vie” by Jag1 Feat. Krista & Prinz Ali

It feels like my heart and my mind are struggling to coincide with each other. Lately I’ve been having these dreams.. Granted, I can’t recall every aspect in these dreams, but it leaves me wondering when I wake up from them. People tell me I shouldn’t read too much into it. They’re just dreams. True. But I can’t help but contemplate about what they could mean, because it relates directly to things that have been on my mind.

I feel mixed up inside.

Energy

I’ve had a lot on my mind lately. And for a while, I was worried about that—thinking too much. But I’ve come to the conclusion that that doesn’t matter. It shouldn’t. What I really need is a listener. Someone I trust and who can patiently sit there while I ramble my brains out, getting everything I need to off of my chest. Because these past few days it feels like I haven’t been granted the chance to. And now it’s all just welling upside of me, ready to explode.

To me it feels like a lot has changed. I suppose that’s because, even the smallest of details, seem important. Or at least important enough for me to keep in my mind to think back on for whatever future purposes I might need that bit of information for.

Ultimately, I just want people to say what they mean, and for it to be believable to me. And if people can just do what they want, not holding back with their actions and stuck to just wonder, that’d be nice too.

Imagining a place in a world like this, I just think it’d make things easier.

Tricky Tricky

I have to say, I’m at a lost. All in all, I just want this to be a good year. I’m leaving the bad things behind and looking forward towards the good. I guess I just want to make sure that the choices I decide to make now, will lead me in that direction.

Ultimately, I just don’t want to get hurt. In miniscule ways, it feels as if I’m setting myself up for that. So naturally: guard’s up. People say high school was drama. But to me it almost feels as if..people just become more lost as they get older. Quite a few people I find that I’m surrounding myself with, are just..unsure. Like no one knows what they want, and it’s leaving piles of completely avoidable messes behind.

In a way, I feel let down.

A Real Man

xtiane:

iamblessed:

Confident men care. They are interested in getting to know your interests because its not a competition. Confident men have nothing to prove to themselves so they don’t really play games. If they’re attracted to you, they’re attracted to you. They will call you. They will want to spend time with you. It is never an issue.

On the other hand, I have found that men who aren’t confident – who don’t have their shit together – will find the most creative ways to put you down. They’ll twist your words, they’ll give you backhanded compliments instead of obvious ones. A compliment hidden in an insult; every women’s dream, right? Men who aren’t confident will make you beg and crawl for answers. They won’t call you for days just to see how you will react. They’ll be cold and hot and cold and hot.

But a confident man? He’s not someone that needs to be fixed. He’s not someone that doesn’t know what he wants. He won’t be cheap with his praise because being honest and real about how he feels doesn’t cost him anything.

“Sometimes you have to be strong for yourself. You have to know that you are a good person and a good friend. What is meant to be will end up good and what is not won’t. Relationships are worth fighting for, but sometimes you can’t be the only one fighting. At time, people need to fight for you. If they don’t, you must move on and realize what you gave them was more than they were willing to give you. Hopefully, people realize great things when they come around and don’t lose something real. Always fight, until you can’t anymore, and then be fought for.” —(via ambivalently) (via starsnatcher) (via crazybeautiful) (via pinkeezy) (via btweenthelines) (via christinecalugay)

When you know you’re not alone, not the only one he’s interested in.. If anything, most likely a rebound.. What do you do? I just feel like things got slightly complicated, because I don’t know how to feel about it. :(

Whatever Will Be


Taken while driving home from Arizona circa March ‘08.

I let it out today, through a most unconventional way. But I suppose I’m relieved, just to have it out there. I’ve learned about myself that I don’t want to hold anything back, if not holding back isn’t going to do me any harm. Live without regrets. And if anything bad happens, I’m simply learning from my mistakes. With that said, I want to make a note of the fact that I’m not expecting anything in return. We’ll just see where the road takes us. That whatever happens, happens. And what will be will.

On a side note. I’m still curious about him. Simply because I’m human, and I’m not void of emotion. But I won’t seek for the information that would satisfy my curiosity. It would only cause tension, which isn’t something I look for, or require. Goodnight all. :)

Step Back Or Jump?

It could go either way. More often than not, it points to “go ahead”. But what doesn’t point in that direction, is equal in importance.

Oh, what to do, what to do?

“When you’re young, your whole life is about the pursuit of fun. Then, you grow up and learn to be cautious. You could break a bone or a heart. You look before you leap and sometimes you don’t leap at all because there’s not always someone there to catch you. And in life, there’s no safety net. When did it stop being fun and start being scary?” —Sex and the City (via quote-book)

Goldin Universe - Colorgenics

You are working extremely hard - perhaps even above and beyond the call of duty. You are preparing for the future and therefore trying to build a firm trouble-free foundation upon which you may base all of your dreams and aspirations.

Conditions are rather confusing at this time. You would like to involved with a particular person or a particular situation but you are holding back. You find it difficult to make a decision.

You are feeling full of uncertainty and worrying over what you consider as missed opportunities. This is causing considerable stress and tension. You feel that there must be more to life than the constant pressures and anxieties - that surely life must hold far more opportunities than that which it has to date presented to you. You sincerely believe that there must be a simpler way to tap life’s hidden recourses and should you be able to find that way - you could achieve your hearts desire. It’s the not knowing ‘how’ that is affording you the constant worry. You are constantly probing and seeking - trying to ensure that at all times you are on your guard against missing any opportunity. ‘Enough is enough’. You are anxious to avoid further setbacks.

You really like doing what you do and, more than that, you like yourself. Your attitude to work and to life is that ‘If its not fun - then don’t do it’. You want to be liked and respected, not for who you are but for what you are - and it seems to be working.

I think it’s pretty accurate? Haha who knows with these things. :]
