I’ve learn to contemplate even in action. That one doesn’t need to be in a semi-catatonic state, alone and staring emptily into space with .”music” to do some reflection. That one can introspect even while crossing a busy street.
I’ve realized that my journey towards self discovery doesn’t always have to happen within me but can happen through other people
I’ve learned that trust is such a fragile thing and it starts with trusting yourself.
I’ve learned to accept that I can’t do everything on my own…that sometimes I have to hold on to somebody’s hand to let go of someone else.
I’ve finally accepted that some friendships don’t last forever. That a childhood bond can sometimes break in this adult world. That two people who grow together can still outgrow each other. …that a friendship needs to be continually nurtured and taken care of to last.
I’ve discovered that sometimes help comes from unexpected places and from unexpected person. That a stranger is a friend waiting to be made.
I’ve learned to appreciate the value of money.
I’ve learned that lying dormant within us are various potentials waiting to be tapped.
Finally that life is such a wonderful thing after all and that love doesn’t always have to hurt.
Happy New Year Everyone :-)

Kelan ba ang Graduation?
Pero pagkagising ko kanina andun pa rin yung tanong sa isip ko. Naalala ko tuloy na 6 years na pala akong graduate sa college. Putek ang tanda ko na! Ito na yung “How do you see yourself 5 years from now?” moment, plus 1 year na nga. This is it! Naisip ko tuloy yung sinabi nung guro namin nung college, habang ako ay nasa silid aralan , nakaupo sa silya, nagsuslat sa kuwaderno ng mga takdang aralin na nakasulat sa pisara(sa wakas naggamit ko rin ang mga words na yun) , sabi niya na pag-IE ka pa rin after 5 years ibig sabihin hindi ka successful. Dapat daw manager ka na o may sarili ng negosyo. Naku patay, paano ngayon to ma’am? IE pa rin ako? Porlayp na ata to. Ibig bang sabihin nito, isa akong malaking kabiguan? Palipat-lipat kc ako ng trabaho kaya ayun lagi akong nagsisimula sa umpisa. Walang continuum kumbaga. Pero, subali’t, datapwa’t…hindi ko pinag-sisihan ang mga naging desisyon sa trabaho o buhay in general. Masaya naman ako kung saan ako ngayon. Wala talaga akong balak na maging CEO o umangat talaga sa corporate ladder. Takot ako sa heights! Kung mangyari man yun, salamat pero di ko talaga kinakarir yun. Wala talaga akong balak na karirin ang karir ko . Pero balik dun sa tanong, kelan ako gagraduate. Hanggang kelan nga ba ako magtatrabaho? Di ko maisip sarili ko na magtatrabaho hanggag sa maging senior citizen na ako. Balak ko magkaroon ng negosyo balang araw. O magka-asawa ng milyonaryo o maging isang superhero. Siyempre nonsense na naman. Pero napaisip talaga ako sa tanong….. at nag-iisip pa rin ako hanggang ngayon …

idle hands
I think I've finally discovered my true calling. All along I thought I would shine in the music industry, the art world or literature. Instead it was handicrafts all along...making bracelets, necklaces, accessories...borloloy...whatchamacallit. I started making friendship bracelets way back in Highschool to give as gifts to my friends. I never really made it a hobby not until lately. This all started when I decided to buy and sell accessories and then customers started to make request. So I decided to study those accessories, bought some materials and together with Blow, made some. I enjoyed doing it and to my amazement, people actually bought it(naks!). We usually use wires and were still trying to learn soldering and experiment with hot metals instead of mere bending and twisting. Here are a few of our creations (i'm still organizing the other pictures) :-)
Errr...anybody interested, I can make it in any colors or design ;-)
