Kwek-kwek

        Kwek-kwek (the orange balls) is one of the many Philippine street food you can eat. It’s actually boiled egg with an orange “breading” or “coating” mixed with guso (a kind of seaweed/sea plant) and cucumbers. You put vinegar and salt to taste. :)

        My college life has been filled with eating street food in between classes because it’s yummy and affordable! It’s a kind of “fast food” because you just take your pick and start devouring. Saves time and money especially on students who have tight budgets and short breaks. ;)

        Oh, just don’t eat it everyday or overdo it because it’s not healthy. :D If you can afford healthy food and you have more time in your hands then do avail of those healthy meals. Always keep a balanced diet!

Gigil

"I thought of the tuning fork I used to adjust my cello. Hitting it sets off vibrations in the note of A - vibrations that keep growing, and growing, until the harmonic pitch fills up the room. That's what Adam's grin was doing to me during dinner.”

-Mia, If I Stay

 

         I think I can imagine how Mia feels when she described how Adam makes her feel. I can’t quite put it into words what I sometimes feel for CJ but I guess this part does. Mostly though it’s more like a warm, swelling feeling inside that makes me burst with love for the person. Other times I have this strong urge to sink my teeth on his squishy flesh because I feel gigil over him. Is that crazy?

Thoughts # 10

I wish I can say you're my answered prayer but you're not. I was not looking for a partner so I didn't have specific prayers on that matter but still God gave you to me without me asking.

Thoughts # 9

You look too far ahead that you forget to live in the present. Your eyes are seeking far but fail to see what is immediate.

Of figuring things out

They say it's okay not to figure things out at this age.. but I don't want to get complacent either. I don't want to suddenly wake up and realize I'm already 30 and still facing the same problems of figuring things out. I don't want to be caught unawares that my time slipped through my fingers.

“Document the moments you feel most in love with yourself - what you’re wearing, who you’re around, what you’re doing. Recreate and repeat. - Warsan Shire”

Another explanation why I love taking pictures. Every detail, every part of the memory or moment must be captured. I can't trust my memory because it tends to create images or scenarios in my head that I want to happen instead of what exactly happened. So as not to miss what really happened and the little details, I snap photos to crystallize those images.

Dry creativity

I've been in a slump lately and no inspiration visits me. I'm also going through changes right now so I'm pretty much busy catching up with life and wading my way through the valleys and bends in the road of change. I guess I won't be able to update this blog as often as I want and if I ever do update it, it will be composed of short texts, pictures and screencaps that I can relate to with a bit of explanation from my side. I guess that would have to do for now. I hope some inspiration will visit me soon.

Thoughts # 7

“Patawad sa lahat ng patawad na hindi nakapagtama ng mali,

nakapag-ulit ng natapos,

nakabawi ng nasayang,

o nakapawi ng sakit.

Patawad dahil ang tanging naibigay ay

patawad lang.” —Hana O.

For some reason, I really find it hard to say sorry when I feel like I did nothing wrong and I'm also hurt in the process. I guess I have a high sense of "self preservation" wherein I must save my feelings first before thinking if I also hurt the person. I better do something about it.
