Beach Avenue

Talking about that news in Israel where a huge flag of the Philippines and Israel was laid to promote peace and to let the world know that Filipinos by mere representation of the flag cares about issues of war not just in that country but here as well in our country. Sounds like I am campaigning for it but really I cared too coz I myself came from a place where war sometimes happened. A Filipino organized that event and was actually aired in international news worldwide. The thing was that very same flag (Philippines) was also laid in the provincial sports ground in Kidapawan City which happened to be the place where I hailed from. Of course every place is capable of doing something that will help promote its place but I caught myself in a big surprise when I saw it on television. (Lol) On the other hand I was visiting my cousins site and she happened to take a shot of that said event posted in her friendster account. Since I was really opting to write about that flag thing and timely that photo from my cousin were I guess meant to happened. Hahaha!

All souls day had passed already and I wasn’t able to write something about it. I was kind of engaged to some other things that are really not that much important coz its just pissing me off but that I need to respond right away. Anyway enough about that. How did we commemorate that day? Its just mother and I here in manila we didn’t went to the cemetery coz its far from here really far it’s in the province. There are 3 dearly loved ones of ours who had passed away in the family my grandfather and grandmother on my mother’s side and my father. I just bought 3 candles and lit those in front of the house inside the gate of course. I had a moment right there to meditate that is I prayed fervently as if I was talking to them. It’s not an insane thing to do but you know sometimes we have to do that talk to them as if they were just here. I sent my own prayers to them individually and it took for me long minutes to just stay outside said my prayers and without even knowing I cried. It does make sense doing that coz it made me felt better afterwards. They knew how we are doing in this earthly life by now, they see everything more than we do and I know they are just there. I asked something from them if it’s not too much to guide us all the time away from harm and dangers of anything bad in this world. Sounds a little odd but all of us believed that it worked one way or another. As for me I don’t solely depend my safety to things like that neither I am saying I am contradicting what I just said but the point to the matter is taking care of oneself matters first the most than believing to those. Of course I still believed but the later makes more sense than the other.

I have a little bit of a problem. It’s not really a problem it’s more of I’m having a concern to myself. I’m starting to loose weight lately. I am into exercising but I am not dieting. I love to exercise in fact I have my scheds and different set of routines that I follow and I of course want to live longer than what we’re expected not. Longevity, healthy lifestyle and clean living are my agenda that’s why I have fully committed myself to live with these good practices. For the past few years I was thin and it got worst when I worked in a graveyard shift job in a call center I was thinner than what I used to be so I resigned. During those months after I resigned I was starting to gain my weight back not that drastically though but I know I’m doing great. Since I exercised twice or thrice a week my body is responding very well, it toned my body and it feels great knowing that I’ve released those tensions and stress out from my body. But lately I am noticing few changes in my weight. Every time I feel too much stress or even battling some personal problems it affect me in a way that it changes the condition of my body so fast. In a matter of let us say two days I can feel the changes already and how much more if it’s the worst scenario I don’t want to happen that again. I stay away of thinking bad thoughts coz they are not making good to me. I don’t want to think of that. All I just wanted to feel is a happy feeling so that all is well and all is healthy.

Beach Avenue

[Caption.iT - Picture Captions]

I am not a well-traveled person neither I have been out of the country but who knows. I considered this beach avenue blog as ambitious because it aims to discuss my travels, how it went well and what can I say about the place. Beach Avenue is a word I best describe my likeness to travel. I want to wander in some places, be free as a wind and for a moment there I want to feel that reviving soul inside me that continuously hungers for independence.

Coffee Therapy

Coffee is coffee, sometimes it’s too bitter, sometimes too sweet, I can decide on what taste I want my coffee to be, and same with my coffee therapy blog I can write whatever I want to. In creating this blog I don’t have any specifics at all on what I wanted this blog to be. It isn’t about coffee neither some remedies to something but anything that whatever comes to my mind at point of contemplating.

Light Conversations

This light conversations blog is personal blog too and the newest I have been blogging about. This is all about the sheer conversations and moments I had with my friend. The story of my posts started about her but it isn’t really just about her but also to other possible things that can be talked about like womanhood, motherhood and the its relationships in between.

Beautiful Pages

[Caption.iT - Picture Captions]

This beautiful pages blog is a personal blog of mine that most of the time speaks about me, how emotionally grateful and ungrateful I was at times and how in the process it kind of shaped my ability of emotional survival. The words and thoughts are real and honest. As I have said there will always be beautiful page or pages of our lives that we all have. Even if how ugly it turn to be, it later become beautiful pages etched from our temperament and tenor of thought. It could be about everything; so much about everything but one thing I am sure of writing about is that this life has to keep on moving. These are my pages.

It is a must for every woman to know at least how to cook for society dictates us not to but it is something one should prepare about because one way or another I am going to get marry and to myself I want to be an excellent cook to my family. This smorgasbord blog is all about food, the kitchen, about home too and anything that has something to do with the said interests.

The last time that I have written a post about the movie Nights in Rodanthe I didn’t remember exactly what was the famous line but just a moment ago when I heard the radio ad it kind of puts me into that movie mood again. Hmmm! And now I clearly remembered what was it and it goes like this, that man is a fool who doesn’t know how lucky he is to have you. It was Mr. Richard Gere who delivered that line in one of those conversations he had with Ms. Diane Lane. Hope I have said it right but minus the delivery because I am not good at doing that. In every movies of that kind there will always be famous lines and whatever famous lines was said in the movies they said it again and again then later it became their own cheesiest lines ever spoken. That I guess is one of the observations I am getting from people. In a way it sounds cheesy and mushy but sometimes I do that I have to admit. Hahaha! Yeah before I used to but that was when I… never mind. If I were to share that story that is just over sentimental, don’t you think? I am not a good critic when it comes to movies but I know this one is a good movie that transcends a clear message of hope, of love in spite of whatever mid life crisis one is into.

I still have a crush on Mr. Gere; he’s still good looking after all these years.

This cold is killing me now. I don’t think I can sleep well because of this. I had a slight cough and cold the other night but I didn’t expect it would get worst after we watched a movie. Yes we watched Nights in Rodanthe for free. It starred Richard Gere and Diane Lane. I won those tickets just by listening through a radio show. Hmmm! What I like about the movie was the setting and how tranquil and peaceful it can be. I like so much the beach and that location was so perfect. I could live there, so simple and easy. About the story there is a good thing and a bad thing about it. The bad thing was one was dead as the story ended and that is sad and on the other hand the good thing about it was that that gave way for her to regain her strength back as a woman and a mother at the same time. The movie favors more about what women are as they battled against the most complicated things in life their relationships.

I just can’t believe I watched it. What I mean was I stop liking romantic movies now because of a personal choice. Whatever it is I am sure you don’t want to know. Aha that sounded like I am a bitter person for real. I am not really. That’s just how I feel about it. I think its understandable if one had so much of it then was lost it’s normal I guess not to watch sappy mushy romantic movies at the moment. And that doesn’t mean I hate the likes of that movie forever it might change someday. This is odd because I just recently watched one and yet I was so defensive about it. It’s for free anyway might as well watch it. I like more those movies that are full packed action with explosives, that’s more exciting isn’t it?

Some would say that it is in ones bedroom where we get to know the personality of the person, just a part of it so to speak. What’s in there speaks of who we are, our interests and how we behaved. It actually tells a story that most people don’t know of. Each bedroom tells a story from one to another. You may start thinking right now of something naughty but I am not going there. Hahaha! And yes what you just had in mind can be a story too that happened one way or another to most people. So what really is the sense of discussing this and that? Not really sure but let me see. Hmmm I often wonder at times what my own bedroom tells about me.

Sometimes its messy but not as messy like the boys are, but most of the time it’s organized. I have this oc when it comes to my clothes; I am so organized when it comes to it and I have this practice of my own that whatever house shirts and shorts that’s in the bottom as they were arrange the way they are in the closet will be the first one to be used. I know its weird of me to do that and if I don’t do that I don’t feel comfortable that’s just the feeling I am getting. But there is an exemption to that rule except if we have visitors I would of course wear the most appropriate one not the loose one not the shirt with some little wholes on it. I have some of those and they are comfy to wear. Not to mention I am wearing one now. Hahaha!

That’s a part of me revealed by me right there. Have a great day or evening everyone!

There are times that no matter how we take cautious at what we are doing still minor accidents happened once in a while. Just like what happened to me while I was preparing our food for dinner. I was cautious of what I was doing but it just slipped. I just had an accident with my left index finger, it got cut by a knife but it didn’t slice off my whole finger. It’s not a deep cut and the pain is tolerable. What happened was I was chopping a ginger, and then I forgot to move my hand backwards so that there would be an open space to chop off the remaining ginger. I was about to move my hands but I missed to do that. I stopped for a while and I let it bleed. When mother saw my fingers bleeding she can’t take it. She didn’t faint she just can’t take to look at it. It didn’t just cut the skin but the nail as well. Too bad for me huh? That’s a lesson learned right there. Hahaha!
