Those Arms

And those arms, I miss them.

I always do.

Those arms that held me tight at night,

     when we're both dreaming;

     that hushes me when nightmare haunts me.

Those arms that stops me from

     making foolishness that could hurt me;

     from running away from my mistakes.

Those arms that embraces my imperfections;

     that protects me from critic

     and taps my back that assures me everything's alright.

Those arms that protects me

     from any malevolent being

     and ensures my safety when we're alone.

Those arms that gave me the world

     where time stands still;

     and where there's only you and me;

     

And those arms, I always miss them.

Dear Mine,

HAPPY MONTHSARY!!!! I am so glad we made it this far. I know you have given me heart aches. But there are more laughter and sweetness we shared that made me forget about our troubles. I have no regrets having you in my life... 10 more months and we'll be happier :D I've never been happier. I love you, mine! I pray to HIM, despite of our differences, we can always make it through the obstacles. I know you don't want me to mind what other people may say about us. I know, because you want me to focus on us. It's our love, our world, ours alone. You made me happy. Let's be happy. Always! ♥

Dear Janely,

You are my friend virtually and IRL. I was kinda browsing your tumblr page. I'm glad you include me in your Best people in tumblr list. I'm flattered. I love you! BTW, you're already in my list for the sweetest couple I know IRL. There are already about 5 of you. I'm planning to make a page about that :D Keep updated. I always love your blog. Keep it up! ♥

Dear Someone-I'm-Starting-To-Hate-Now,

I don't know what happened, but you're not taking EXTRA careful of that pricey cam. That's a legacy. You should take care of it. When I checked it this afternoon, it's not in good shape. I hope it is still functioning. I thought you have this ability to take care of the things turned over to you. Please do before I totally hate you. Thanks :D


~xoxo,
dowbee! ♥

Dear Dreams,

You sometimes scare me at night making me wish I don't wanna go back to sleep again. But then I need you to free myself from fears I imagined in the real world. There are times that you make me hungry making me wish you are for real. And there are times that you make me "kilig" especially when Hollywood celebrities visit me and my Cawi snuggle me making me wish I could sleep forever with a dream like that. 

But my dear dream, you know how much I wanted to become my dream role in society. I know this sounds silly, but I really wanted to become a CELEBRITY! I wanna hang-out with the public figures, getting sponsors from and/

or become one of the model of 

 famous clothing lines, receive projects and getting paid for my talent, endorse products, being taken care of the prominent stylists and dermatologists. And then, I can help, not only to my family, but also to those poverty-stricken people.

I know this sounds too much. But there's no harm in dreaming, right? It's just a dream. But there is still a 50-50 chance that this might come true. Yes, it does. Because Cawi was once a dream before we met. He came into reality and I love him and still loving him because he's for real.

Oh well, I guess I'll just have to keep on dreaming.

Goodnight,

Angel

Dear Oliver,

You have grown up now. Grown up, I mean you're taller than me. I know we 're not close as siblings, but I promised myself that once I have a stable job, I'll help you with your studies. Please stay close with Mama and please don't give her a hard time because she already does with me. I may not be the best Ate you have, but I'll try my best to give you what you need in the future. Please don't hesitate to be close to me. I know sometimes you become annoying in text but I'm not being mean to you, am I not? Anyway, you are the only brother I have. Please do good in school. Keep away from bad influences and make your mama proud. :)

Dear cousins,

We may not be related by blood, but you know for sure that you are more than a real brother/sister to me. Thank you for keeping my secret about me having boyfriends since high school. Thank you for helping me figure out what needs to be figured out. Thank you for your patience though I have been the most annoying Ate you have. Thank you for your understanding when I'm not in my common senses. Thank you for appreciating the food I cook. And thank you for making me part of your life. I hope this will not end even though I'll get married. I love the laughters on random times and for your silence when I whine about heart breaks. You really know what I need. Let's support each other even when our hair turns to gray...

xoxo,

Ate Angel

daily letter (day 2)

Dear Crush,

You don't have any idea how much you crushed my heart. I can't even name you. But you're kinda annoying. I can't even blame you cuz you have no effin' idea that I have a crush on you. But every time you pass by, especially when I'm with my beau, I feel like I've been pushed away. My beau keeps on teasing me saying, "Mine, anjan crush mo, o." And I'm just like, ">___<". I wish that you don't exist or we haven't met. But I know we can't help seeing each other because we were classmates once and became close friends for a while. But that was before. And right now, I'm happy seeing you with your dyed hair and flawless skin. Now, my boo and I thought you're a gay. That's cool. But still, admiring you isn't that bad, right? I just hate the way my boo teases me every time you're in our sight. I'm sorry for the blame.Don't worry, you'd still be the friend who makes other girls jealous of me. HAHA!

stay cool,

Doby

So today is my Day One.

Dear Best friend,

Right now, I can't think of any person who I can call best friend. But I remember two or three persons I used to have as my best friend. 


To my ex-bff, Eumir. We've been through rough times before and we never got to be more than friends when I was so into you. I know this is rubbish. But I know you pretend not to care about my feelings and continued being friends with me after a year of silent war with my gang. I loved you before, and I will still continue to love you as a friend. Right now, I can't imagine myself that I use to fall in love with my best friend. I'm happy now, and I'm happy that you're happy, too. I hope I can still tell you my secrets and keep it.


To my ex-bff turned ex-bf, Godwin. It was a mistake knowing you. But I didn't regret it. Despite of your asshole-ness, I fell for your charisma. And your cheating heart never changes till now. I used to hate you when you made me cry to sleep for nine months. But don't worry. I'm over you... SO OVER YOU. And you still made me laugh when you added me in your FaceBook and discussed how we could have mend our relationship before. Oh, STFU! Get on with your current cockroach girlfriend.


To my boyfriend, Cawi. We didn't have any friendship before we get into a relationship. But now, we've been through our ups and downs. We made our relationship stronger with the help of our mistakes, realizing how we can make it right. I shared you almost all of the rantings I can say. You're there to make me feel loved, feel safe, and feel free from grudges. There may be times that we have silly arguments and some serious problems.  But we make sure that everything will be okay after that. You may not be the best among my friends, but you are the one I could tell my true self comfortably. I LOVE YOU for that.

XOXO,

Do I have to explain this? 

We simply love edible food, of course ♥

keen-observer

wala lang :)

I will post more of this on how I describe a Clarionet

we got our aircon back!!!

 see that light on?... *wee*
please pretend that you did not see the mess on our little cork board :D

after waiting for almost 2 months to fix our office's air conditioner, it is finally working. we had gone through all the blaming and pointing-who-broke-it conversation and promises to take good care of it, the general services finally tightened the last screw on that effin' aircon.

There are 2 tips given to us on how to prolong the aircon's service to the Clarionets

*Clarionets, please take not of this*

1. Always set the temperature on 23 degrees celsius... do not go beyond that.

2. Always make it sure that you turn off the aircon before you leave the office.

i know you get it guys... don't forget these, ok?

something to cheer me up on my happy [birth]day

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ME!!!

i woke up lazily this morning rather excited, biting my tongue not to say any clue about my birthday. I want the rest of my family to remember me. I've grown up from saying, "Ma, birthday ko ngayon." so it took 2 hours for them to realize i just woke up a year older than yesterday.

nothing so special this day. no celebration. no gifts. Only OVERWHELMING GREETINGS from my beloved friends (thank you ♥). I love them. I love fb this day for reminding my friends it's my birthday.... haha!

honestly, greetings are enough to make my day. even a midnight call to greet is the always in my top list.

as i was scanning my folder in Clarion's pc, i found my scanned baby/toddler/pre-schooler pics...

i think i was cute back then... ♥

it's me...this is how i define CUTE... hahaha

this is me few days before my birthday... that's how i define... *thinking**thinking*...

well, that's me... i think nothing has changed.

i only gained weight... haha!

graduation stress is sticking up on me till this moment.

swear, i can hardly get rid of it.

that really pisses me off...

it makes me look a lil bit haggard :(

trying to smile despite of the hefty requirements to comply on time.

what else.... hmm?

*thinking of something that cheered me up this day*

my ninong called me and said he sent me $$$ for my birthday and yearbook.

YEAY!!!

he even assured me a trip to Hong Kong Disneyland as my graduation gift 

^_______________^

my mom's here!

that makes a happy, too.

finally,

thinking that i could be happy this day makes me happy!

happy birthday!!!

the 30th

HAPPY 3Oth MONTHSARY!!!

We are so ambivalent this past few days.

We were loving and hating each other

(scratch that hating cuz we are more on loving, baby!)

I love you so much

 that I barely know what hating you means.

I am hoping that we would still keep 

our formulated rule in this game of love.

Remember, we are in the win-win strategy.

Whoever breaks any of the rule,

both loses the game.

But ours is not just a game being played by preschoolers.

We know intimacy and other serious stuff.

So, I hope that both of us will continue to help each other

to keep us in the game.

As of now,

I'm savoring every moment with you.

I'll make more memories with you.

And as much as possible,
we'll make each other happy.

~xoxo

p.s.
i enjoyed Manong's mango crepe

*yum-yum*

you've got to try this.

vain moments in seminar

 

the eager beavers

the not-so-busy pals

 

scribbles...

and doodles...

 

 

something they should talk about... 

  

something to smile after a serious matter...
