Me? In Love?

So two of my closest friends came up with something ridiculous. They think that I'm badly smitten, whipped, and totally on my knees. They think that I have already found a new person to dedicate my attention to. Yeah, they think that - as repulsive as it does sound - I AM IN LOVE. But there is no way I am. Honestly. I know myself and I'm not in love. I might be attracted, a little flushed that after a long time, someone has finally caught my attention; but that doesn't mean...

Dreams Coming True

OKAY! So this isn't really the final since there's gonna be a lot more to add like captions and other photos that aren't given to me yet, but as I've said in my Instagram account, it feels so surreal to hold an actual manuscript of a book I have designed, and taken pictures for. Knowing that it's going to be published sooner or later, it ignites anticipation...

Rurouni Kenshin: The Legend Ends AND WHATEVER THE FUCK IT HAS TURNED ME INTO

If I were to put into words whatever I feel, which term should I use? Elated? Fulfilled? Contented? Or perhaps... Sad? Disappointed? Craving for more? I have just watched Rurouni Kenshin: The Legend Ends with my brother. It has just been released yesterday and I just couldn't let a week pass before I watch it for myself. No, this movie and One Ok Rock's...

#PSFADuties: D-9

So my hands are currently full. I'm working on the 2nd and 3rd chapter of the book. I need to be a good and hardworking daughter today because it's my mom's 64th birthday. And I need to atleast try to squeeze some three hours off my today's schedule to see Rurouni Kenshin with my brother. But that doesn't mean I'm not going to pay attention to the highlight...

Arranged Marriage and What Not

I have been reading an awful lot of arranged marriage fan fictions these days. Every night, before I go to sleep, I make sure I get to finish either a completed or still on-going story about two people put together for a lifetime commitment because of a business transaction. The idea, though a little old, is still fresh to me. Although most stories have the same plot, it's still convincing to me how love might work and create something between the two involved souls. After...

No Sleep

Although tired from one whole day of general cleaning to get rid of the aftermath of Typhoon Mario in our house and in the church, I should be wasted and exhausted right now. But no, I'm on my computer, working on the book which we're ultimately to finish on the first week of October. Yes, that's pretty much suicide because on the first week of next month, we'll be celebrating the feast day of St. Francis of Assisi. Double work to complete both tasks properly. So in order...

처음

I am starting to get used to waking up early,  and sleeping early of course, that i just found myself right now watching Korean shows. To be honest, I think I am now learning the importance of finding time for myself. And I have the drama 괜찮아 사랑이야 to thank for that. Hihihi. However,  there is just one worry in my mind right now. I need money to pay for the bills this month. Where would I get that. The website hasn't been paid yet and the money I got from Google has...

Fanfic Prompt: Luhan Story

There are actually a lot of things going on in my mind right now, about stories I wanted to write - all of which would want Han to be the main character. My brain is drowning in ideas on scenarios, dialogues, and plot twists that I couldn't write at all. Somehow, it all gets tangled up that I don't know anymore if the ends meet to actually create a nice tale. Right...

#SanKikoFiestaPreps Entry No. 2: Designs 2.0

One of the biggest challenge for me as an amateur layout artist is doing huge designs. Once, I did stuff with 12-foot dimension and it made my computer crawl. Finding good HD materials is also quite a pain in the ass, but this problem's easily resolved, thanks to my background in photography and my lovely Lumix FZ150 camera. That is why when I was told that...

#SanKikoFiestaPreps Entry No. 1: Designs

I intended to blog about the preparations for the Solemnity of St. Francis of Assisi but I ended up writing the first entry just now. Loser much? Okay. So first of all, the idea of keeping this blog (or maybe its readers, if there is one) actually came up when Yuxing unnie told me that I should start writing about good things. And right now, there's no better...

First Time Revealing These Thoughts

A lot of people think I'm just making excuses. They think I'm just making it all up to get attention, to escape responsibilities. But that's not the case. Whatever I'm whining about are all real. Whenever I say that my head aches or my body's faint or I'm in no condition to do something, they would just scoff and still force me to do what has to be done - simply because they don't believe that I am capable of feeling those. I guess I've been too strong in the past that now,...

For Peace

We all know what is happening in the Middle East. Christians are being persecuted for their faith and not the slightest can I understand the purpose of this atrocity. I don't know what kind of emotion I should feel towards this. If there is anything, it's fear. It sucks that there is nothing we can do to help. I, myself, do not know how I would actually respond to the call of help from the people there. But as I ponder on self pity and helplessness, the Holy Father and the...

Ryunosuke Kamiki

So I have to admit that I didn't know who he was until Rurouni Kenshin: Kyoto Inferno; although I must have heard about him before, as I am a fan of Kanata Hongo. But seriously, one look and I was really charmed by Ryunosuke Kamiki. I searched about him on Google the first time I saw the teaser and one person came instantly came to mind: Lee Taemin. Right...

One Down!

It wasn't planned. When I was told that we're working on the calendar alongside the coffee table book, I thought I would just be taking pictures of the baptismal fonts. So when Kuya Luis told me that I'll be the one designing because apparently, Bien was too busy, I was surprised. But it easily died down after two days of lack of sleep just to finish the...

Near the End

With the exponential rise of pressure that kills, the heart bleeds with yearnings not just one can feel.  But as the eyes open slowly to see light, Pressure turns to pleasure, pushing me to fight.  Every second matters when you're listening to time, Every hour's essential when you aim to be fine.  So guided by this pressure and pleasure I found... Wait for me there. I'm definitely end-bound. ...

Cramming is My Style

So this has been going on for a while now. For the past month, I've been very busy with this coffee table book for the Diocese of Malolos. After spending a week taking pictures of the churches around Bulacan, I dedicated my time to the layout and design of the actual book. Tiring? No. It was actually fulfilling. I joked once that the three years I spent...

25 years ago. HAHA

Because Kuya Randie handed me down a scanner and I've got nothing to do today because my EHD is with Kuya Marvin, I decided to go on some scanning spree and maybe preserve some of my few childhood memories captured on photos - most of which I can barely remember now honestly. Taking advantage of technology, I'm sharing you some of the shots I'm not...
