Happy 2015! It was surely one heck of a ride in 2014, and I can't say that I enjoyed it entirely. Nonetheless, I believe that it was a year meant for re-configuring things in my life to pave the way for bigger and better things. *throws confetti*

On that note, I would like to say I am officially signing off of LiveJournal. It has been 11 years ( Read more... )

I was an ambitious, confident child when it came to school. I seemed to have this fire in me, and coupled with my stubborn nature, I was the type that worked hard to impress. If someone tried to compete with me in academics (and yes, someone did openly challenge me before), I'd have this 'bring it on!' attitude and reel in the victory. I secretly ( Read more... )

I call 2014 an odd year so far. Maybe because it has been a year full of changes, and I was never good with change. Regardless, I am trying to deal with it and I do hope that the latter half of the year will be better for me ( Read more... )

I've been reading many blog posts and articles about going for what you love to do, being self-confident, and how failures will only make you stronger if you keep striving. It comes at a time when I have to do a lot of thinking about what I want to do next in my career. I was told to include only work that I want to do in my portfolio, but the sad ( Read more... )

Lately, I've been following several stories in the news, and it makes me scared. From girls being held captivity for a decade, to a man getting slayed over a truck he was trying to sell, I am only shocked and horrified. And my heart pours for the victims and their families and friends. It is unimaginable how deep the pain they must be feeling, and ( Read more... )

Happy New Year!!! It's 2013...wow. I still remember when we welcomed the year 2000. I feel like 2013 came around in a very mellow way...the countdown to midnight happened so quickly, and the celebration was comfortable and relaxed. I really loved it. Despite that calm start, I have an inkling that 2013 holds some neat surprises and it's waiting to ( Read more... )

You can't judge someone by just one bad day ( Read more... )

Lately, there's been a sight I see that makes me smile: little boys learning how to ride their bike with their dads alongside them. There's just something so innocent and sweet about that picture.

I have the day off today from work, and can I tell you how much I'm enjoying it? Getting to sleep in a little bit more, then heading out to be wrapped in almost-summer warmth (it's mid-March, my gosh!) and now at Starbucks, sipping on a iced caramel macchiato and working on my laptop. I feel productive in a very relaxed way. I haven't felt like ( Read more... )

Happy 2012!I'm coming back from a drought of entries, I know. There were times where I had an urge to write about something, but I never followed through. To be honest, I do not know who still reads my journal, but my main purpose of having this journal really is just so I have a personal space to express myself through writing ( Read more... )
