TROPA

This 2013, I’m going to renew a promise.

I always feel that the purpose of a new year is not because you need a new year it is because you need A NEW YOU. A chance to reminisce good times, recover from pain and setbacks, rejoice in successes, revive lost dreams.. It is a time to recuperate the soul, reestablish hopes and reaffirm your faith. It’s a chance to start new and celebrate what you have achieved throughout the year.

Respect the past regardless what have happened. Don’t dwell on it. Learn from it. Get rid of anything that isn’t useful and the things that bring you down. Stay away from negativity and open your eyes, heart and mind to all of God’s blessings.

The quality of your lives is based on the quality of your thoughts and actions. May you have an inspirational 2013, with a lot of soul, drive, full of compassion, love and good health surrounded by good family and friends. Happy New Year everyone! Lots of love from me. Mmwuahuggssotight (i get a lot of these this past few days hehehe) to all!!!

Family moments ♥ ♥ ♥

Life gives us brief moments with one another but sometimes in those brief moments, we get memories that last a life time.. As one Spanish proverb says, ‘there is no happiness; there are only moments of happiness”.. We seem to seize the moments but the fact of the matter is those moments seize us.. AND SO IT WAS THESE MOMENTS SEIZING US ..

Child in Me

Fate wanted my life to be extra, extra special so instead of giving me just normal friends, he added a few crazy ones along the way. Thanks for the added insanity..

Ika nga may dahilan kung bakit nakilala mo ang isang tao.

Maaaring kailangan nilang baguhin ang buhay mo o ikaw ang magiging dahilan ng pagbabago nila.. either way salamat ng sobra sobra sa iyo.. sa iyo.. sa iyo .. SA INYO!! .. Nanatili ang child in me.

Feeding My Addiction on Books

Sundays at Tiffany's
By James Patterson and Gabrielle Charbonnet
Published by Grand Central Publishing, 2008
ISBN: 978-0-446-53631-8
I own this copy.

What's it about? Courtesy of Goodreads:

As a little girl, Jane has no one. Her mother Vivienne Margaux, the powerful head of a major New York theater company has no time for her. But she does have one friend--Michael--and no one can see him but her. But Michael can't stay with Jane forever, and on her eighth birthday, her imaginary friend must leave her.

When Jane is in her thirties, working for her mother's company, she is just as alone as she was as a child. Her boyfriend hardly knows she's there and is more interested in what Vivienne can do for his career. Her mother practically treats her as a slave in the office, despite the great success of Jane's first play, "Thank Heaven." Then she finds Michael--handsome, and just the same as she remembers him, only now he's not imaginary. For once in her life, Jane is happy--and has someone who loves her back. But not even Michael knows the reason behind why they've really been reunited.

Sundays at Tiffany's is the story of Jane Margaux, a thirty something woman with a lackluster social life, poor self confidence, and a job working in her highly successful mother's production company. Jane is searching for funding and actors for a film adaptation of her successful play, Thank Heaven, which is based on her childhood imaginary friend, Michael.

Michael left Jane on her ninth birthday, a predetermined date when children no longer need their imaginary friends and wake up the next day with no recollection of their unseen companions. Jane remembers everything. She doesn't understand how or why, but she does. Michael as her only true friend and she feels his absence well into adulthood.

Michael finds himself back in New York City and recognizes Jane. After following her around, he got a sense of her life: thankfully she still does not live at home with her mother, but she works for her mother, and has a jerk of a boyfriend. They finally meet face to face at the St. Regis on a Sunday afternoon, which was their usual hangout on Sunday afternoons when Jane was a child. After Jane and Michael's ice cream sundae (for her) and melon (for him) date, Jane's mother would take her to Tiffany's.

What transpires from there is part love story and part coming of age story all wrapped up in a fluffy feel good package. Even when catastrophe struck Jane's life, I still felt warm and fuzzy inside because I knew that the book would turn out okay. I felt emotionally duped by the fluff, but I didn't mind it so much. It was an intriguing story with a lot of potential. I liked it for what it was, but it could have been so much more.

Well, being a hopeless romantic myself, I truly enjoyed reading this book because it was a quick, escape read that helped me to forget about life for a while. Such a magical story about fate and true love.

Naniniwala ako ..

Ang natatanging araw, ika-22 ng Disyembre, tatlong araw bago ipagdiwang ang PASKO NG TAONG 2011.

Ang sarap ng pakiramdam na nagkapera ka, nakatanggap ka ng regalo at nakakain ka ng higit sa kaya ng sikmura mo.

Pero wala nang mas sasarap sa pakiramdam na napasaya mo yung mga taong nasa paligid mo, sa pinakasimpleng handog na nakayanan mo. At higit sa lahat, yung pakiramdam sa bawat ngiti at tawang pinakawalan mo sa piling ng mga mahal mo.

When we share whatever we have it is like giving a part of ourselves as well. It is our own little way of giving back and showing our gratitude for all the blessings we've received this entire 365 days of the year..SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY ika nga.. At yan din ng tunay na diwa ng Kapaskuhan - nasa pagbibigayan at pagpapasaya sa ating kapwa.


Yun ang tunay na diwa ng pasko. Naniniwala ako.
