Traipse in a Damsel's Mind

Women of the world, we may be indirectly descendants of Eve, but like her, we are bound to a such weakness of alluring enticement-- being enticed and the ability to entice. 

Until now, I don't know why some girls can't just have enough clothes, bags, pairs of shoes, and sets of make-up. My family and workmates definitely know how kuripot I am but it's hard to resist when I see that four letter word all in caps, S-A-L-E!!! I'd just love to succumb in that word and free myself from stress but I'm doing my best to withstand the need for retail therapy. Not healthy for the pocket. Admittedly guilty, it sometimes makes me feel good when I've just had a bad day but girls, will always be girls, and we ought to have a delightful time and apart from that, my love for pampering! Smooth skin, sweet scent, pretty nails, and the whole list goes on... It just makes me feel like I'm wrapped in a bubble of pretty gumballs and in soft and scented flowers! I never thought I'd even have a growing stock of lip smackers in a variety of pink hues. I never dreamed of being Miss Vanity and if people see me that way, boy, you're wrong. There's more than meets the eye. Just like for the mainstream-- I want to freely express my thoughts in a blog not for fame but for the journalistic aspect of blogging yoooo.

Dyed my hair black all by myself two weeks ago. Didn't like it at first, it was harsh and edgy. My hair was blue-black-- think of Veronica from that Archie comic. 

It’s been a long stretch of a week at work and to update you with my life, things have gone by unassumingly… good. I definitely know my extended absence in blogging wouldn’t make a drastic change in the online world so let silence befall, mandated by its master. Life transpired once again.

They say pressure makes diamonds. And that gave me a stir of thought, but I’d like to think that one should not live life by pressure but, by priorities. There’s pressure all around us. There are countless myths that blind us into a fantasy mindset. There are lots of you gotta be this, gotta be that, gotta get that, and gotta’ve been there. I thought of the pressure from work and in one perspective, it does push you off your limits and make you a better one but what if, you’ve been working for long hours, at the end of the day, knowing that you’ve achieved a lot and have numerous paychecks, does that make you happy? Not for long, sweetie. Your value shouldn’t be based on finances and how much you own, nor by the number of people you know and of course, it shouldn’t be based on appearance. All these things die quickly. Think about yourself and the relationships you have with people, and with God. How is it? How much time and effort do you put in it? How much love is there to give? I tell you, those are the ones that are worthwhile and very rewarding. Invest in those. <3

“Don’t worry about being like someone else. Make the most of who you are, of who God made you to be.”

Happy girls do exaggerated head tilts like that photo above à Guess it’s about 35 or 45 degrees tilt! ;p

The New Wave

Every summer has its own love story... It's nice to look back and take pleasure with those fond memories of yesterday. Simple joys of not being in school and being into all sorts of other activities. 

As a child, my parents really got me into a lot of lessons during summer but I don't know, I don't seem to find interest in some of those things but now, realizations have made it through that they've made such incomparable efforts to drive the best within you. I may not be that cream-of-the-crop student but all these years, I've made education as one of those most important priorities. 

Education should be valued because it molds one future and opens doors for more opportunities, even in greater heights. So dear students, now that school's started, study hard and study well. Don't take it for granted especially if your parents sent you in a prestigious school, it's all worth the quality education you get so don't waste it. Don't just be literate too, be educated. Never stop learning, even if you've earned a degree, you have to knock out every learning break you get out from life. After all, we're all students of life. 

Chilling out @ BE resorts, Mactan, Cebu with the family. Woke up so early to catch the sunrise and to take a very early morning swim. Wearing no sunblock, wanted to earn a tan because I feel like my skin's cold and pale as a vampire. I'm no longer exposed to UV that much but it's a mortal sin to go around with no SPF, I'm an advocate of looking good, feeling great, and having fun (more like my company's motto) by eating healthy, exercising, and using the right products for you. I'm not that obsessed but looking good is (that does not have to be physically attractive but being healthy, fit, and clean) makes you feel great thus, you can accomplish other tasks smoothly with that kind of mood, right? 

Good bye dear summer breeze~ It's been cool and raining lately. I missed wearing my pair of sunnies when I'm on my way to work. I indifferently welcomed the rainy season-- talk about having a hard time to commute, getting muddy shoes (I always have a hard time walking in the rain O.o) might as well, the corrhyza virus which I'm a victim of early this month so you better shelter yourself with a handful dose of Vitamin C's. :)

So here's for a new wave to make things right and make life more worthwhile~ Keep swimming! *u*
