another adventure

It's been three years since my last post. Time flies so fast that i'm turning 27 this year. Whoah! Never felt so old. Hahaha. These are the days of your life where you feel that you should be more conscious of your health and your beauty products.

 I guess some things never change in the human learning cycle. You never listened to those endless lectures and advice that you have received from your parents and from other people. But one day, you'll realize that they were never wrong. ( i just wanted to share this haha)

So recently, i quit my job so that i could start my new adventure. I'll be working on a cruise ship as a pastry chef soon. Well, soon means that i hope i could quickly fix my requirements so that i could already have a contract. Haha.  Although i haven't started working yet, i already feel the stress because of all the necessary documents (e.g. us visa, passport, cav, medical) that needs to be passed. This has been giving me a lot of stress and headaches.
Okay, this blog sounds like i'm about to start complaining so i think i should stop haha.

Well, i hope that i could start with this new adventure soon. I'm excited and nervous at the same time. I hope that i could learn a lot. I don't really know where the future will lead me, but i guess you'll never know until you try right?
 So fighting!!

Serendipity: a "happy accident" or "pleasant surprise". the accidental discovery of something pleasant

valuable or useful.

1st encounter:

I guess this would be the best word to define my feelings with that person. He was someone that i never liked at first sight, didn't imagine that we would have that connection, but along the way, I've managed to see some common interests (such as doodling or drawing, talking about anything without feeling awkward) or unexpectedly meet him in common places where i normally pass by or do my normal errands.

For me, i was happy to gain more friends and share common experiences and learn new things from them. But there was something in him that made me feel so important and wanted. I've found a new person that made me feel happy for  a short span of time and a new kakulitan. When i talked to him, i felt so comfortable and we could talk anything under the sun (without feeling awkward) and I've felt that excitement and i was always happy everytime we had the time to talk because we were able to talk and share our experiences in life and share advices. But everything happened so fast and eventually vanished like a bubble because first of all, he was in a relationship, and secondly, i was not that stupid to gamble or force myself with a person and destroy a relationship. hahaha. 

In the end, i was still thankful because that person made me realize that it wouldn't hurt to try to love again and feel that kind of feeling were you matter to the person that you like. Most importantly, he taught me to take chances.

2nd encounter:

She was my officemate, pretty girl and very famous because of her looks. I had never thought that we would be the best of friends and that she would be my hangout buddy after work to have a food trip or just talk.

She taught me a lot of things that made me realize to live my life to the fullest, face new challenges, taught me to be more adventurous and be more health conscious. hahaha. In a short span of time (literally like 6 months) we were like the best of friends, shared our own secrets, shared our laughter and goals in life. She was the very least person that I've thought would be my friend, but in the end she was my closest friend.

I guess in every places that you have been to, and experiences that I have encountered (may it be good or bad), everything really do happen for a reason. It will help you grow mentally and emotionally, and it will make you stronger and braver to face new challenges in the future. It has also taught me to accept every problems or blessings with optimism and to be more open about understanding people and things.

I can say that I'm not perfect, but i try to correct my mistakes from the past and learn new things to face the present and the future. 

Start the new year right!

It's year 2012. It's the year of the dragon (it's our year 1988 babies), It's my year to be a bum(haha) but most importantly, it's the year when i will start learning what i love, which is baking. haha!

This was my 1st ordered birthday cake (spongebob theme) last 2010.

To be honest, I'm kind of nervous and excited right now. I'm excited because finally, i can learn more about baking and most importantly gain more experience, but at the same I'm nervous because i may not be able to catch up with my future classmates. Since i don't have culinary background or whatsoever, everything that i've learned was from scratch and i was taught by my tita and her assistant most of the time in our kitchen.

So! classes will start on January 24 (but i'm still here in iloilo hahaha) and i will be coming back to manila on the 23rd. Despite all the nervousness and stress that I'm feeling, (oh i haven't mentioned that classes is from 7:00 am to 2:00 pm and i will be travelling everyday from MAKATI TO KATIPUNAN!) i'm still happy and excited because i was given this opportunity:D.

I hope i could start the year right, face it with optimism, face my fears and be open to new challenges, friendship and most importantly open to new techniques from different mentors. woooh!;p

Ain't a crime- Amber Davis

You don't know how much I wanted this to work

Wore my heart on the sleeve of your favorite shirt

You can't blame me for giving you my all

Sometimes to gets to love you got to fall

I fell so deep...

(look up and you weren't here with me)

Somewhere along this road

(Got blinded couldn't see)

I'm the only one that feels the way i do

It's not your fault,

You can't be mad at you, baby

- - - - -

Chorus

You don't love me

like i love you

(But i guess that ain't a crime...)

You don't need me

like i need you

(But i guess that ain't a crime...)

You ain't hurting

like i'm hurting

(But i guess that ain't a crime...)

But staying here any longer

It's just a waste of time

- - - -

(Repeat Chorus)

I told myself I'd never get in this position

Now I'm contemplating making this decision

Leaving you is the best thing i can do

But i got a feeling it'll hurt me more than you

Baby

(look up and you weren't here with me)

Somewhere along this road

(Got blinded couldn't see)

I'm the only one that feels the way i do

It's not your fault,

You can't be mad at you, baby

(Repeat chorus 2x)

I wasn't ready for the truth

but now I'm force to face it

If you can't give me your love, baby

then i'll replace it

It won't be easy

but I know this much is true

I'll be doing fine on my own

without you

So go ahead, you can go

boy, we're finished

Go ahead

'coz your heart ain't really in it

Go ahead

I'll be doing fine

Ain't no sense in staying

when it's just a waste of time...

(Repeat chorus)

Hooray!:D

Wow! I can't believe my blogs site has already celebrated its 1st year anniversary (* *) LOL

Whatever, don't mind my nonsense thoughts. HAHA

PEACE!:D

LOVE. . .

Love is truly amazing...

Why? Well, because it could turn you into something that you thought you cannot be. It gives you courage to do the things that you love most ( which you once thought you cannot do in public). Everyday it gives you a dose of optimism. It makes you become friendly towards the people that you once thought you can't approach. It always gives you a positive mood. And of course, gives you an inspiration...

But once it's gone,

It shows you the opposite meaning of being in love...
It feels like a big part of your life has been taken away.It's like a big arrow hit your heart and it keeps on bleeding because it's hard to be removed. Your once called "colorful life" suddenly became black and white (like the life of a sad clown, if you know what i mean). Your attitude becomes dull towards the people around you. You somehow lost the reason to be happy everyday or everytime you wake up or your about to sleep. It gives you nightmares.
Somehow, that's the ugly part of being not in love or let's just say Heart Broken.

But when you think out of the box, love is not just defined or pictured out from a lover's perspective. If you think you're all alone because your first love or the love of your life suddenly isn't a part of your life anymore, come to think of it, you're life doesn't just rotate around him/her..
You still have a family that loves you and cares for you, friends to lean on and have other activities that could make you happy.

So i guess, my advice is to just live your life, find ways to make your day always exciting and meaningful:). And if you find a new so called "love life", try not to have so much expectations in order to enjoy each other's company:)

Huwaaah!:D I guess to much watching korean/taiwanese series makes me want to blog. LOL

The day after Valentines:p

So here i am again, still wide awake at 3:22 a.m. (because i drank caramel macchiato frappe hehe). I went out to meet with one of my closest friends in Iloilo and talked. Well, i was really glad that we've met because it's been like months, i mean MONTHS, since we've last met and talked.. having updates about our life, career, future plans and of course love life (which she has and i don't have hahaha).

The day after Valentines...was i affected? No Was i sad? no haha. I guess i just feel numb.

I just love meeting with old friends.. They remind you of the old days and makes you want to remember who you really were before:)

Good MORNIGHT!! haha
