Life Lately in Version Way After 2.OH

 I guess I'm back in this space. 

If my childhood friend and classmate Kristin didn't encourage me to create Xanga, I don't think I would pursue writing or anything close to the creative profession. 

I would probably walk in the footsteps of my parents, mirror the decisions of my brother, or take the hardest road to Law or Medicine.

My thoughts are all over the place now as I type this because I really want to tell you how the great last 10+ years have been... so many crazy-unimaginable opportunities. All the places I've been. All the stories. All the blood. All the sweat. All the tears. 

I said GREAT. Not perfect but wouldn't really have it any other way. 

So going back, I guess I'm back to this space. 

Give me time to process and live the moment and the same reason why I love writing. It never left my heart but writing here again, means a lot to me. This blog has always been my safe space where I can be me and just doing this again gives me the same fire and ice in the beginning. 

Expect more chikka and snippets about my life. Or maybe not. 

But promise me that you will also not hold back this time and LIVE your life to the fullest. 

Be crazy. Be really HAPPY. 

Take the risk if it means you can WIN it all. 

Just LIVE. 

But don't forget to be KIND too. 

Love, now and always still,

M

When I told myself that I'm going to forget about him, I was in it to win it.

Believe me, I did EVERYTHING.

But after doing every little thing, I am back to the page I skipped too few times,

Your profile.

And it reads, I've been dead inside for a long time.

Well, you can live. It's a choice you can make.

But you can't live checking my LINKEDIN profile, run like hell away from this, and forget about what you truly felt just because you are feeling so sorry about yourself and consumed comparing our achievements.... when you know, your heart knows, my biggest achievement is nothing compared to having been able to love you.

To the young me and you

It's been too long since I posted on this blog and I'm not really sure if anyone is reading this. But if you do, thank you for being there.

A lot has changed about me and about my life. I will share more what happened at work and the path I chose to take soon. But for now, I want to write a blog dedicated to my old, young self. I have been so  focused on what the future will be and didn't even thank the young me.

The young me was self-centered, stubborn and always felt she was alone. Yes, maybe because growing up, my parents is not really with me all the time. It took awhile for the old me to accept and understand that. But growing up without parents, taught that little girl to be independent, to stand for decisions, even break some rules and take responsibility for it.

I didn't have too many friends even before because my Grandparents protected me too much. I am not allowed to play outside and go with random people which helped me now... Living alone is not that hard to do. I don't depend my happiness on friends. I don't need the assurance of anyone to make myself better. I enjoy the company of the small circle of friends that I truly keep inside my heart but, at the same time, I enjoy me times. I can sit all day dreaming, watching TV series, reading or just bumming around. It's a talent but of course, we have things to do in life so let's keep moving.

The young and in love me is also the reason why I am still single now. She was heartbroken, reprimanded to entertain boys (which, I now know why I shouldn't), and hoped too much. Young love, sweet love and the kilig I get from side stares at the hallways of the school. The meant to be dance partners as if the stars aligned. I go back, close my eyes to the feelings and it was maybe 2002 again... Those made me believe that true love is on its way, to never lose hope and destiny will find the older me.

And finally, thanks to the young me who tried and tried and tried. I guess I'm the type who never really get it the first time or maybe even the second try but what matters is I get to achieve it at some point. Trying, hard work and positivity that one day, some day I will get it. I guess, we don't really get what we want because when we already got it  there's already a new goal or another dream waiting on the line... These things keep us on the ground to make us keep on trying.

Thanks to the young me for loving to live and who made this life worth living. You deserve where you are now.

HAPPY EASTER

hearts and flowers,
Mia

Si Adrian, Nicole at Monica

Si Adrian

Minsan si Adrian ka kapag wala kang magawa. Di ka makaiwas. D ka makawala. Nagpapadala ka sa bugso ng damdamin. Sa kapusukan. Sa karupukan. Ikaw si Adrian, kapag ang motto mo ay, "nasa huli ang pagsisisi." Si Adrian ka... Kapag kahit itry mo ng 100 times wala na. Basag na.

Si Nicole 

Ikaw si Nicole kung pakiramdam mo kailangan mo ng pagmamahal. Kung para sayo mararamdaman mo lang na totoong mahal ka kung maaagaw mo ang minamahal ng iba. Handa kang sumabay sa agos. Handa kang gawing tanga at baliw ang sarili mo. Kahit na hindi ikaw ang una, ok lang sayo. Ikaw si Nicole dahil... Alam mo ang pinasok mo pero ayaw mo lumabas.

At ikaw si Monica.

Oo ikaw. Pero hindi ito ang Monica na kilala ng lahat. Nakukubli sa isang mapagmahal na ina ang Monica-ng kinatatakutan ng lahat ng Adrian at Nicole sa mundo. 

Ito ang Monica na mapagpanggap. Ang Monica na hindi marunong tumanggap ng pagmamahal. Ang Monica na hindi alam ang ibig sabihin ng sakripisyo. Ang Monica na walang pakialam sa pamilya. 

Ang Monica na hindi kuntento sa kung ano ang meron siya. Ang Monica na hindi tapat sa kanyang asawa. Ang Monica na tinanggalan ng karapatan ang kanyang sarili na lumigaya. Ang Monica na pinagkait sa kanyang anak ang isang buo, masaya at tahimik na pamilya. 

Ang Monica na masahol pa kay Adrian at Nicole. 

X-MEN: Days of Future Past

The X-Men send Wolverine to the past in a desperate effort to change history and prevent an event that results in doom for both humans and mutants.

 the movie trailer:

a.  What would you correct from your past to save the future?

I'd conserve more water, never use plastic for not so important thing and shouldve start earth hour since the day I was born. 

What if the future is not as good as everyone dreamt it to be?

So what?

That's what's good about dreams, 
we wait-----make it happen. 

And I remember losing everything when I lost you.

Don't you think I cannot lose some more?

Lose this battle? 

Win the war. 

Wait for the sunlight.

Take the last word. The last beat.

Mia
