Look to the Stars

This is how I kinda feel lately. (January 2012)

"In fearful day, in raging night

With strong hearts full, our souls ignite

When all seems lost in the war of light

Look to the stars for hope burns bright."

Sounds familiar? Hmm maybe for some. That oath was not familiar with me as well until B posted it as his Facebook status last week and then he forced pursued me to say it with him everyday before we take our exams. That I learned is the Blue Lantern's oath. I thought he was just joking (as he always is) when he asked me to say with with him but then I realized he was not, so eventually he won. I was feeling a little restless while we were studying and he told me to think of it every time I was feeling down because those words speak of hope. At first I found it funny but then after saying it over and over for a few days I realized he made sense. And as always, he is right.

Okay, I know it maybe fictional but I could surely use those words right now. Thing is, I have been in some kind of a slump lately. That kind where you do not want to move. Yeah, I'm that worst. So right now that oath has been in repeat in my head. And I am hoping that I would be able to get out of this slump I'm in the soonest. 

Oh Fridays (or not)!!

I know it's technically not Friday anymore here in Manila, but hey it's still Friday in some other parts of the world so I will still write some letters for today. Plus, I am also linking up with Jean for Aloha Friday. We're having a day off from school today so I have loooots of free time I guess since B is currently practicing basketball with his team mates and I am, well, I'm here lying in bed checking out your lovely blogs. LOL ;) Okay now time for the letters.

Dear Self, you are doing a great job. You have been through rough times the past few weeks but I know you can do it. Just hang in there and stay strong! :)

Dear Heart, sorry if you have been overused lately. I know you have been so stressed out and all. I promise I'll try to take it easy on you the next few days. But please don't blame me if there are times that my heartbeat seems to be suddenly racing one minute and goes fluctuating the next one. I can't help it if I'm too giddy. I guess I'm bipolar like that. Haha

Dear Thoughts, you have been so scattered lately. It shows in my room. See how messy you are? But seriously, you have to gather yourself up pretty soon because I really really need to get my focus back. This maybe a bit harsh for you, but I'm giving you the whole Christmas break to fix yourself.

Dear Christmas, you're coming already? Really that fast? How come I didn't seem to notice? I know they say Christmas comes early here in the Philippines but I must be living under a rock (or comforter) to have not noticed that there's only 18 days more left before you're here. I guess that's why we've been having a week full of Christmas parties in school.

Dear Jean, I am so glad that you have stumbled upon my little blog and have invited me to join Aloha Friday. Thank you so much, I am so excited to be part of it. If you are wondering what I'm talking about here you better visit What Jean Likes. Jean hosts a blog hop called Aloha Friday but what's great here is that it happens not just on Fridays but goes on all weekend long. :)

Dear B, I can't say much anymore because I think I pretty much have told you everything already right? But I guess I will never get tired and will never stop thanking you for keeping me (in)sane, always. LOL. And yes, those last words are for you. ;)

Happy weekend!

Heartaches and Weddings

I have not been around here lately and I've got really no good excuse for that. I was just being reeeeally lazy. Oh wait, scratch that. Truth is, I have seem to lost the urge or inspiration to move. But I'm back now, and hopefully this will continue for some time.

Okay first, that title sucks I know. Those two doesn't really go very well together right? But I guess that's how messy my thoughts are right now. That has been the story of my life for the past week. It has gone through every ups and downs and had taken every twists and turns that it could get. I don't want to bore you with details but all I can say is that it's starting to get better again. This time last week I could not even bring myself to get up and open my laptop and could not focus on what I'm supposed to do and could not even finish listening to one song. But here I am now. It's all part of life's journey. :)

We have been taking our time and slowly patching things up learning from our mistakes and trying not to disappoint each other once more. It's not easy, but then again nothing you want so bad and worth keeping really comes easy at all. Or I'm the only one who thinks that way? Please tell me not. LOL.

On a lighter note, remember when I said I was planning a wedding? No, it's not my wedding. It happens to be my tita (my mom's youngest sister), who also happens to be my ninang (godmother) who is getting married in March!:) Being only 8 years older than I am, she is the closest to me among mommy's siblings. And thing is, she asked me to be her maid of honor. Of course I gladly said yes. I am just as thrilled as she is about the upcoming wedding. She asked me to look for the style of the dress I want and I've come down to these two choices.

Which one do you like better?

Imagine everything in this color and add a touch of silver lining
