How Long can a Gypsy stay at Camp?

She will forever be a gypsy at heart. A free spirit as those close to her would know. The world is their playground. It seems that there are certain times that they need to stay in a particular place and set up camp. But how long can a nomadic soul stay grounded?

Gypsies, like her, are not fickle minded nor are they indecisive. What other might seem as a restless soul is the spirit of someone who seeks to understand the world by experiencing it. Like an actor whose art is to breathe life to different characters as the curtain rises, she wants to master the art of co-existing with different cultures without loosing her own heart and uniqueness. They can quickly adapt to their current location and unattach themselves to prepare for the next place they would call home.

The word future is a bit foreign to these individuals because they live from day to day. Making enough to last them, at the most, to simply get to the next adventure. However she realizes she exists in a world with too much uncertainty that she needs to consider planning for a longer voyage. The thought of this brings confusion and discomfort, not to mention a lack of knowledge (or is it will) to bring it to pass. To someone who would rather feel physical pain than emotional discomfort, staying grounded is a difficult emotional battle.

She needs to make a decision soon. She can either try to juggle the job-that-pays-the-bills and the job-that-bring-adventures and exhaust herself in doing so, or she can set-up camp and concentrate and postpone adventures to a later date. These are bitter yet essential changes to accommodate planning for a better future.

To ease the discomfort a bit, she looks back at the exciting tapestry of her journey and sees how blessed her life has been. Somehow she has had her fair share of eye-opening adventures, wonderful people that makes the voyage through life worth it and a few packets of wisdom that would (or should) help her make appropriate choices.

A Letter to the Future

I have not given up on you. And I know I never will. Though impatience brought about questions and insecurities of your existence, I still believe that our True North would at the right time create this opportunity for our paths to cross.

During each time that doubts would start to surface He would bring into my life a messenger. Men that would show me a glimpse of how you would be like. Your traits, your faith & outlook in life and things we could enjoy doing for the rest of our lives together. Although He always made sure I would know the difference between a messenger and you.

And as I trod along this journey you were on the other side of that road having your own share of messengers, however you call them, but never losing the belief in our True North that I would be somewhere along the trail. It was this assurance that made us continue on the road, despite the detours and uneven paths; all because we knew it would be worth the walk.
So here I am a bit too eager once again. Another messenger our True North has brought along is once more giving me a peek of how you will like. With that smile that can calm an unpleasant day packaged with eyes that speak out and a means of showing any woman the respect they deserve. For this I am reminded to trust in the route I am in and that I have to tell my heart to simply be steadfast. It will be our True North that will lead the way.

As we rest our heads tonight, I pray, may you have the same peace of mind that we will get to that crossroads at the right time and our hearts will just know whose hand to hold.

Goodnight my weary traveler.

Infected by Wanderlust

i havent blogged for a long time because i have been so so so busy. but today i felt like i really needed to unload some of the thought process/es that have been brewing all this while...

that would be nice to travel and temporarily leave the Philippines and live (at least a year) in a different country, where people hardly know me. a new place to call home and start a life fresh with an opportunity to groove according to my own beat. it's not that i am unappreciative of what i currently have. its just a matter of trying to push my limits and see how i would exist on a clean slate. to be able to grow and increase the challenge of making one's existence a memorable journey.

where would i go? i could probably try malaysia, truly asia? or perhaps lucious italy? or scenic greece? maybe laid back hawaii would be a great choice?

i am back in my fantasy battle planning stage. the reality is i don't have the money or time to do this. and so the best thing is to ask for guidance, wait and be keen of the signs. to let the journey come alive even just in my mind, cause to me that can be the start.

'coz heck...it never hurts to dream.

Death, the second of The Endless, you are
responsible for ending all lives and taking

optimistic and enjoy everything about life,
but that does not mean your silly or stupid.
You can lay the smack down when you have to!
Everyone loves you, and they don't know why.

With a Cup of Teh Tarik...


Christmas Day was spent with my Uncle and a cousin joining us for some barbeque. It was nice to be home with family. What was even nicer was having some time with me and a hot cup of teh tarik. Yes, my Uncle came home from Malaysia bringing the powdered version of my most favorite drink…teh tarik. Two packs of this fragrant and delicious drink. My mom took one and I was left with an opened pouch that I unfortunately had to share with the family. Call me selfish but mom really had to work her way with me making a cup for everyone, which got me pondering during my alone time…

What makes some things in one life too hard to share?

Teh Tarik to me is a like a book that takes me on a story. Each sip is like flipping a page of that manuscript which takes you on a journey back through time. A journey that you want to take pleasure in alone for the fear that maybe other people may not understand its true value to you. Having teh tarik is like being back in Malaysia again, a place were great memories have been authored. It’s about the great (and cheap) food I have enjoyed almost in every corner of Petaling Jaya and KL. Its about spontaneous laughter brought about by ever flowing teh tariks and limo ice during late night mamak escapades. It’s about a sport called paintball and the men & some women (harmful yet harmless men) that make it even more exciting. It is also about being able to travel and let my free spiritedness fly, roam and conquer yet another nook of this world. Most of all it’s about a boy with a beautiful smile who is willing to buy me all the teh tarik I drink, hop & skip with me with childlike enthusiasm and assure me that I will always have a friend who's at the very least an sms away.

Maybe it’s hard to share my teh tarik because I felt that if I finish the pack I also am letting go of the memories I have attached to it. That one of these days when I look and see that the pack is empty I will forget the people, the places and the boy. I know I need to release this chapter of my personal history and make space for new and unknown worlds to experience. But for now let me sit and enjoy my teh tarik by myself cause I’m not ready to let go...not just yet.

Enjoy the Journey

why are people sad?

...because they are prisoners of their personal history. everyone believes that the main aim in life is to follow a plan. they never ask if that plan is theirs...and they start to accumulate experiences, memories, things, other peoples ideas and it is more than they can possibly cope with. and that is why they forget their dreams...in order for the true energy of love to penetrate your soul, your soul must be as if you had just been born. people are unhappy because they want to imprison that energy

...which is impossible.

Keeping the Positive Vibe

such a messy week. so many responsibilities each one seeking to be in the top spot and yet time still remains to be limited. and being a part of the greater whole, some things are bound to be sacrificed. and sadly sometimes these are the things you enjoy doing the most. giving these up can break your heart, but you have the choice of letting the defeat (of doing what you love) drag you down or to be continually in control of your own attitude. as the gang would say...keep the positive vibe.

its remembering that the journey isn't over yet and there could be similar days when you feel that your dreams are being threatened. reminding myself that i make my own decisions, i determine the course that my stories would take. it's just a matter of enjoying the path, the scenery and the people i meet along the way including the occasional bumps on the road.

Strawberry Milkshake and You

i had a messy week and so i decided to sit down and order a creamy strawberry milkshake at my favorite coffeeshop and look back on the week.

in between sips, puffs and journal writing you come into mind. a man with a sunny smile whose eyes encourage one to think happy thoughts; i wonder how you are. it's been a while since I last heard from you. and as if the questions would some how transport itself to you i ask how your week was or which part of the world have you unpacked your suitcase this time? aside from this i might like to know if i manage to enter your thoughts as well. but irregardless of the answer i simply say thank you. an appreciation of the way you continue to inspire that there are good people still left in this world. and that i should continue to believe...

that although life may throw you sour lemons we can always load our hoppers full and start shooting away the bitterness as they come. hee hee...

i miss you.

Do You Want an Orange or Blue Cabana?



Sunlight gradually creeps through the sheets till it hits your face. Then you stretch and prepare yourself to greet the day. You open the curtains and the blue and turquoise seas glitter from the distance. Indeed a good morning sunshine! You take in a breath of the fresh air and taste the saltiness that comes with it. You are on your beach cabana and far from the unescessary pulls and tugs of the urban jungle. Where time is spent on nurturing relationships and oneself.

How i wish that it was like that everyday...on my orange cabana.

Henna I want...



I like the ethnic feel it gives.
I like the way it fades after a couple of weeks.
Plus the design is really good.


I found this at Yvy's site (she happens to be a friend of a good paintball brother) and asked her if I can post it up on my blog. Thanks Yvy! And any time your in Manila just holler!

Simple Pleasures

I guess my friend IS finally happy.

its sad about how people mistake you for something based on your appearance. but what they don't know is that for some people happiness could be as simple as having a baby and the experience of having to care for it.




i miss you kitty. i have no more yahoo grill partner. but i'm glad your happy.

DISCLAIMER: If you happen to know my friend Kitty.
Then you have to know that this is NOT her child.
This is a former officemate's kid.
Kitty is still very much sexy and is/was not preggy.
Hee hee.

Friendster Therapy

there was a reunion of real good friends and such is the essence of our friendship that we are free to share whatever it is that is happening with our lives without the threat of one passing a judgement. thus the buzz word for that night was...THERAPY.

what is therapy?

a website says:
Therapy is any intervention in order to restore, maintain, and improve emotional, physical, physiological, and spiritual health and well-being

I have a new therapy since my workload (having 3 commitments is not an easy task) seemed to bottleneck in this one particular week, not to mention family issues that are like unforgotten-wounds-that-have-not-healed only to surface years after.

And so...welcome...my Friendster Therapy.

After each training session, i go back to my workstation...open my friendster...read the friends with new photos or updated their profilles and upload new photos! I have probably uploaded one photo a day last week. Not to mention read Mama Anna's (Angeles) blog, uploaded photos for Supahstah (Andrew) and Abbys, as well as find people I havent seen in a long time.

Then I log-off and head home. Next day I train...take my lunch break...train some more and do my friendster ritual all over again. What do I get from it? At the very least an essence of being able to catch up with the life I lead. With this I feel as though I am restoring and maintaining my well-being. Not everything we do has to make sense right?
