Some days

Are like this when you get to challenge yourself to be good and struggle with all your might to present yourself nicely? You fail.

I'm trying to be good. I'm trying to be someone who will be taken by others positively. I wanna be that rainbow aura that
everybody loves at first sight.

Well... We can't please everybody that's what they say all the time. No matter how the great majority adores you there'll be some who'll want to tear your gutts out! So beware not to get close or they'll tear your gutts out you, hear me! Just stay clear and say the things they want to hear, you can only be too honest to people who are your friends and they won't lie when they say they hate what you said! But to these people who aren't even your friends but dare to hurt your feelings... Be nice. If you still have loyal friends with you it means you're good. So don't let them get you down.

loyal friend,
Sassy

The Gorgeousness

I have real insecurities though it's hard to tell cuz I don't really mind being seated in between two gorgeous models in the gym looking so out of place that people could wonder what kind of nerve has grown on me that I don't budge.

Anyway, yes you can tell me about the inner beauty that matters, but...my insecurity has nothing to do with that aspect, at Ieast I know within myself that I'm a "loving" kind of person... Teehee...hee. what I have is an insecurity that could only be caused by a tall, slimmer figure and gorgeous brains. yes! They are everywhere, I've known one brilliant surgeon who's real beauty on the outside doesn't hurt. Witty, charming, elegant and all that fabulousness were cast upon her and I wasn't there when the "casting" spell happened to human kind.

But anyway, the point of it all is just to love who you are and be your best self. The only person who can live your life is you. So take it as it is because for sure, there will be more times in your life when you'll get to meet people who seem to have it all. Instead of cursing the mirror, why not just let them be in their fabulous selves and you be your best self. I need effort to be beautiful cuz I wasn't blessed with a perfect complexion and that forever long legs! I do take time moisturizing everyday and flossing, cuz some can be just devastatingly beautiful even if they had just woke up with rustled hair and puffy eyes... They could still land that Ralph Lauren campaign I tell you!

So yes, imma be my best self. I love me, don't you just love you?

Have a happy Friday!

love from Manila,
Sassy

idle

Passing time
Don't fall inlove with me
I know I have been bad
Don't call on me
Don't awaken me at night
Don't lie to yourself

Passing time
Do not come and stay like you know me
I am not a friend
I dazzle you for nothing.
Don't flatter yourself.


Do not stare like you do
Do not melt my youthful spirit
You can't cheat your fate
I tell you to play fair.

Passing time
I'm letting you go
so go now go.

have a bright happy day ahead bloggies!

The stern look

It's just the look it's not who I really am when you get to know me I give loud laughs and giggle like a sunkissed blooming bud! (huh? whatever!) ok. So I look quite serious and pouty to people I don't know personally, why? what am I supposed to do act fun? Who acts fun when you're alone waiting for your doctor to see you, or when you're at the gym trying to complete your routine and you're getting stares... I'm not a snob but there are just times when I'm not in the mood to chat :( and then I get stern looks.

Well, let me explain to you my friends that when you're a Filipino it's rude to be in a room with someone and not talking...You always have to open up and talk about your life. Say as many nice things as you can and for starters you must always say "hello" that's basic, and then you move on to how you are, where you from, how old are you, are you married? Stuff like that... You always, always have to say something or get stern looks.

It even escalates to a higher level when you're out of the
Country and you meet a fellow Filipino ... Aahh... This is making me smile... As I rant about the complexities of our social behavior, I owe a lot to people I do not know and talked to me when I was on travel... I met friendly people who took me in their house, cooked me hot meals and toured me around for free! ... Sorry, I was even thinking this. Sorry I was not sociable at times when I know I have to only come out of the house when I'm my best friendly self. It's like a social responsibility to always be in a good mood when around someone. Happy vibes are contagious so let's spread that! It's not normal here to mope around alone.

By the way, when I see those people again, I will talk.

Have a happy Tuesday!

Love from Manila,
Sassy

here's to heroes day!

History can be boring at times... (nah, I'm pretending to be cool saying that!) I actually like history, one of the best subjects I had in school, I like names and places, biographies and stuff like that. Sadly, most involve wars and I'm plainly sick of it. We can make heroes out of people without getting them to shoot anyone for the country... or getting them shot for the country... who can undo that if war is just a mind game between the heads of state and generals who, most of the time live to see their retirement.

sigh* Anyway, Araw ng Kagitingan or Heroes Day in the Philippines is in commemoration of the death march from Bataan to Tarlac. (It's really, really far --- they are two provinces) American and Filipino soldiers were made to walk in surrender to the Japanese.

What the heck were they doing in our land?... oh the glory of war, Japan and the US wanted to station themselves in the Philippines as a military base for southeast Asia, but in the end after the two warring countries are done bombarding Manila and Bataan with bombs and guns everyday for 5 months... they left. Leaving the Philippines in rubble.

Yes, we have had glory days pre-war, there were theatres, schools, churches in the rubble. I saw it...we recently went to visit the ruins in Bataan which is now an island without residents, its open only for the touring public on scheduled dates. What a creepy sight it was, it's a deserted island trapped in time... the rubble are still there even the artillery.

                                still there, see?

                               you wont believe how big this tunnel is, it's like a village inside.

                                still on guard for battle ship since 1942

                                people don't usually stick their heads in a barrel, but that's just me.

                               imagine bombs falling from the sky EVERYDAY for 5 months!!!

                                where will you hide?

                                barracks (did u know these bombings were simultaneous with the 

                                Pearl Harbor attack?)

                                Reforested: the trees weren't spared, the whole island was on fire.

                                old cinema

                                 bullet ridden walls

                                             sophisticated at that time, this one can rise above the walls 

                                             and contract again, it rotates too!

a remnant of this war  (World War II)

99 red balloons!

for the 99 talented followers I got...usually, I follow you around too! :)) and so the feeling is mutual. I love you!

at the brink of stalking taylor momsen

i know she's a bad girl.

anyway, i like her style, she puts on a lot of layers... I dunno how that will work in a tropical country like ours, BLACK.black and some more black. Anyway... yeah she's very cool. I like to be cool, but I'm never like the coolest girl, I always feel geeky though I do hang out with some cool people...I'm still the geekiest among them.

well, enough of the blahness... I love you guys!

it's a holiday in manila, this friday is Araw ng Kagitingan Day (Heroes Day)

Good Morning from Manila!

Sassy

It's been a long day. I'm finally back to the " loves" of my life... Shop Drawings! Yay! It doesn't mean anything to you I know haha and it doesn't mean much to me before I got the chance to do some again... It feels good, it's racking my brain but at least I'm back to where I'm supposed to be, to do what I'm supposed to do... If I may tell you, I had been tasked to do material counting... It's counting the pieces of materials to be ordered for a building. No fun in that! It's crucial and it's in Excel format, I'm not really good at it... Make me draw many parts and pieces of a building but but not the counting... It makes me lose sleep!

Anyhoo, were off to visit our friend Shann, she gave birth to a baby girl named Sabina, I bet she's really fat and cute!!!

Ciao everyone! Have a goodnight from
Manila!

13 hours ahead

So what do you do with your life while sitting in the bus and can't be lesser productive? Flicker your eyes twice as much, watch other passengers in the dark, try to get sleep, pray that the driver stays awake, listen to music (that's a classic choice) or talk on the phone with someone as if you're the only one on board with nasty boredom and have to harass others with your talking! Hang up you seatmate!

baaaackk.

so that was a bit of a scare, ‘dont know why all of a sudden I got panicky flying back to manila…Ive been all over for the past 5 years, some on even longer trips but this one was like the ride of my life. why and how come? I sure want to know.
oh well, life. It sometimes make you wonder about things then later realize it to be pointless. I sometimes think to be half-dreaming while wondering BUT at a latter thought … it is yeah, POINTLESS. :D
anyway, ‘glad to be back and seeing some beautiful posts on blogger…the colors and the life story behind it makes my coming back worth it. :))
hugs ans happy Easter to all!
