Sometimes in life there really are bonds formed that can never be broken. Sometimes you really can find that one person who will stand by you no matter what. Maybe you'll find it in a spouse and celebrate it with your dream wedding, but theres also the chance that the one person you can count on for a lifetime, the one person who knows you sometimes better than you know yourself is the same person who's been standing beside you all along. ♥

According to my horoscope:
A new romance is coming your way, but keep in mind that it may not be love-related.

In Detail

There is a new romance coming your way, but it might not be love-related. You can find passion when you discover a new hobby, new kind of music, or even a new kind of food! The bottom line is that at some point today, you will come across something wonderful that you didn't even know you were waiting for. No matter what it is, is will bring a lot of fun into your life. Your task is to open up your mind and get ready to get into something new that will bring you a lot of joy.

Can I?

Change. We don't like it. We fear it, but we can't stop it from coming. We either adapt to change or we get left behind. It hurts to grow, anybody who tells you it doesn't is lying, but here's the truth sometimes the more things change the more they stay the same. And sometimes, oh, sometimes change is good. Sometimes change is everything.

Surpriser Becomes the Surprisee

|8:02 AM

Si Sops talaga patalo. So, there we were, Nigui, Dannie, Jo and I, preparing the banners and the letters. Then Nigui and Dannie went out to buy Sophie's birthday ice cream. So, Jo and I were minding our own business when the door opened. We thought it was just the two who went out for ice cream but no, lo and behold! Sophie was there standing amongst the supposed surprise. We could not think of an alibi so tawa na lang, as in sobrang tawa na lang nang tawa. Sumakit nga tyan ko, e. Haha. Lesson learned: when planning a surprise party, always, always, have a contingency plan.

On a different note, this is one of my favoritest post secrets ever.

This was what he yearned to capture on film: these rare moments where the world seemed unified, coherent, everything contained in a single fleeting image. A spareness that held beauty and hope and motion - a kind of silvery poetry, just as the body was poetry in blood and flesh and bone.

"But I'm taking small steps
'Cause I don't know where I'm going
I'm taking small steps
And I don't know what to say.
Small steps,
Trying to pull myself together
And maybe I'll discover
A clue along the way!"

There are just those moments you wish to God never ends. Like the night I had with my family. I am simply lost for words. I am just so grateful to belong to such a closely knit ménage. I take pride in the way we celebrate Christmas and New Year. This season is always one of the highlights of my year. Aside from the games and the money (haha!) and the gifts, that sense of belongingness is beyond compare.

My aunts and uncles are fun and they want only the best for us. In case of trouble, without a doubt they would be there help us out. Not that my mom and dad are inadequate [because really, they are more than enough] but it's like my parents are multiplied into five pairs. To my Tito Raffy and Tita Marlyn, Tito Bobby and Tita Ellen, Tito Alvin and Tita Jeng, Tito Jess and Tita Pret, and of course to my own Daddy Esmer and Mommy Alice, thank you for the endless gifts and pamaskos, for tolerating our childishness, for the life lessons, for the guidance, for the love. We can never repay what you have given us but we promise to try and give back what you deserve.

Aside from the young once, the young ones, my siblings and cousins are a major factor to my euphoria. The laughs we have, the stories we share, the hugs and kisses we never get tired of receiving and giving are a few of the reasons why I love to spend time with you, guys. Isang barkada lang naman talaga tayo, e only better since we are related by blood and that will never change. We have grown up together and believe me, we will continue on with this. Because in this life, its either you change and grow or you die. To my cousins, ate Sharlyne, kuya Rey plus our cute little nephew Miguel, ate Angel, Tricia, Kevin, Kymric, Atoy, Dochoy, Pipoy, Aina, Cecille, Marivic, Keiser and of course to my siblings, ate Alyne, Kenneth, Kathleen and Katrina, you all know I love you and I will always, always be here for you no matter what. Thank you for giving me plenty of reasons to smile and laugh and for that love I never cease to feel from you. I can never say it enough. I love love love each and everyone of you. :*

So, here's to more family time and love. Cheers!
ps. Welcome 2009!
