Updates!

Aloha! Yes I know that I haven't updated this blog lately. I am just occupied. With what?

Plurking! Haha!

Joke! My working schedule is making me craaaazy! I can't post an entry nor view blogs when I am in the office! Argh! And when I'm home, I lost my energy. Sadness but true.

I'm motivating myself to change this. This can't be a routine! There should be a change! I hope I can do it.

Allow me to share what I'm doing lately despite of the craaaazy schedule:

1. Listening to my "playlist of the month"

Serendipity OST

2. Reading a book - I hope to finish it asap

Yes, I need a highlighter when I read

3. Updating my journal

What's missing? Yeah my college friends! (my hs friends are so busy). It was a happy Sunday spent in Shangri-la Mall.

I was surprised to see that ALL of them wore pink! Jessa texted everyone except me to wear my fave color. They even wished and prayed hard that I will not pick the exact color. Reason: so that I'll be unique. Awww.. thanks guys! I'm so touched.

I love to travel! You'll learn to know other's culture. You'll learn to know their traditions. You'll get the answers of your own hows and whys. You'll get to see a new perspective in life.

Allow me to share one of my fave quotes.

This is my entry for Glenda's bday giveaway! You still have until June 15 to join.

Thanks Red

I received this package exactly on my birthday! I immediately checked the sender's name and found out that it came from a thoughtful friend, Red.

Let's see what's inside...

I love the smell of the paper! Ang bango!

ay parang Judy Ann-Ryan lang? Haha! :P

Yehey! 1 wish granted! :)

Red is super creative!

Thank sooo much Red! I'm sooo touched! :)

Happy Birthday to ME

Life is hard.
Life is tough.
But I get to enjoy it because of the people around me.
And most esp, because there is God who truly loves me.

Life is too short to be sad, to be lonely, to be angry and to stress yourself.

Live life! :)

So please grant my wishes.

Thank you! ;)
