When it rains..it pours :)

I miss the rain. I miss hearing it pitter patter on my window sill. I have always associated the rain with blessings, and whenever it rained I was always inspired that blessings were on their way. In my life I try to be thankful for everything. The best advise I got was probably not to rely on short-term pleasures. It is very easy to compromise long term goals and real happiness for something that is essentially available. In my life I have sometimes settled for something that I thought was beneficial. And sometimes life teaches me otherwise. Life is made up of so many choices and consequences that come out of it. I base my choices on what I believe in, and those beliefs are usually the outcomes of a series of choices I had to make.


1. I believe that the rain does bring blessings.
2. I believe that  the first people I need to accept - good or bad - are my family.
3. I believe that you have to stand up for what you believe in.
4. I believe that I would rather be kind than feared.
5. I believe that you should NEVER EVER apologize for who you are.
6. I believe that children should play as much as they can because grown up games are not that fun.
7. I believe that looking good is feeling good.
8. I believe that people who belittle others are the lowest kind of specimen and they should be brushed off.
9. I believe that compassion, kindness, and being humble should be practiced.
10. I believe in the saying "kanya kanya lang yan". If people only learned how to live and accept each other, the world would be a happier place.
11. I believe that I don't need to EVER make excuses for the right man.
12. I believe that no matter how small, everyone should live their dream.
13. I believe that you should always surround yourself with positive people.
14. I believe that you should always ask help from God and thank Him also.
15. I believe that it is ok to make mistakes, as long as one learns from them.
16. I believe that there are three words to be learned in life: it goes on.

Given any situation, people do not have the same choices. What may be a good choice for others can be bad for someone else. Ultimately it all comes down to what people really believe. Sometimes people settle for less because they think hoping for something more can potentially be heartbreaking. Other times people pass up on opportunities because they believe they are not good enough. And with just the amount of right timing and good fortune, people often find themselves in a place where they are blessed enough to be...themselves. Blessings come in all shapes and forms, it is just a matter of how you look at it.

I think I have changed, and will continue to be better with every choice I make. Sure, I have left out some things in my life, but it all turned out to be for the better. I don't miss those things and maybe that is the key to happiness. Maybe we hurt because people don't know how to let go of the past. Like I said, life goes on..everything goes on until there is nothing left.

Trials. Choices. Consequences. Blessings. It's all just a cycle. Don't be stationary, move.

Go Out and VOTE!

Go out and vote. It's your right. :]

I just got home from the precinct, and I'm telling you...automated elections? awesome. I had to be at the precinct  30 minutes before 7 A.M because I know if I get there late I'd probably be stuck in line with a bunch of hot headed people. So glad I went early. Kahit late nagstart yung voting, buti nalang ang daming nakaka aliw na observations sa pila. Hahaha

1. IBANG KLASE PAGKA CHISMOSA NG MGA BOTANTE. Natatawa nalang ako kanina habang nakapila. Lahat ata ng klase ng chismis tungkol sa mga kandidato narinig ko na. Hindi lang sila chismosa..echusera pa. :]

2. (KAHIT HINDI PA TUMITINGIN) BOTANTE: WALA AKO SA LISTAHAN. Mga tao talaga.

3. NA-USO ANG "SAMPLE BALLOT" SA LABAS NG PRECINCT. Naman kasi diba? Hindi yan sample ballot. Ang tawag diyan KODIGO. Ang tawag diyan? BAWAL ATE BAWAL!

4. LUMALAKAS ANG MGA SENIOR CITIZEN. Akala mo lang fragile..pero hindi. hahaha Ang galing kasi parang sila pa mauuna makipagsapakan pag may sumingit sa pila.

5. PROUD NA ANG SHY SENIOR CITIZENS. Noon hiyang hiya sila magbigay ng SC card sa restaurants. Pero sa voting? halos rinig sa BUUUUUOOOOOONG precinct yung sigaw nila na.."SENIOR CITIZEN AKO!" special daw kasi dapat.

6. NAGIGING INSTANT BARKER ANG MGA BOTANTE. Magugulat ka nalang may sumisigaw sa likod ng pila ng: "SINO PO DITO MAY KOTSE NA RTY 323?? NAKAHARANG!" hahaha

They said na if all goes well, election results might be out by tomorrow. Although, some precincts are having a hard time since some of the machines aren't even working. The experience was exciting because it was new - new process, alot of new and young voters, and people are more vigilant. I hope everything turns out well. 

Filipinos go out and VOTE! :]

Golden Arch? My golden rainbow :)

There are just those days you wake up and feel like..BLAH. I mean, nothing really bad happened the day before but then you still feel like crap. Just when everything was going uphill. But hey, there's nothing like thinking of superb ways to lift those spirits back to life. Some may say they go shopping, or work out, or read a book, or watch their favorite movie. But me? My first love, the only thing that can pick me up like no other...Mcdonald's!!! Yessiree the golden arch is my happy place. Never fails.

So I woke up today not being 100% (everyone has their day). Although I really didn't want to get affected by it especially now I'm just really trying to roll with the punches. My mother will probably kill me, but I couldn't resist calling for my personal emergency hotline..8-MCDO hahahaha.

Double Cheeseburger, Fries, and Chocolate Sundae. :)

While dipping my fries into the sundae I couldn't help but think.."Kahit hindi rin naging kami sa huli, siya parin ang first love ko". :) hahahahahaahaha! *happy hums*
