what they don't know about me

here are some of the few things that not so many people i know knew about me...  maybe it's time to open-up a little.
take note, these are just few of "the many" hehehe... ☺

1.      That I love surprises.  I want to be surprised on my birthday or any special occasions.  It’s very touching knowing that people closest to your heart took time to make your special day memorable.  That they really gone out of their way just to make me feel I am so loved and special.

2.      That fried chicken and spaghetti are my favorite foods.  Not so many people knew that I can eat fried chicken and spaghetti practically everyday.  Those are the foods that cannot be absent in my plate whenever they’re available in parties that I attended.

3.      That I was never a “Batang Jollibee” kid.  My first Jollibee experience was when I was in my senior year in high school.  That’s the reason why I’m still excited whenever I see Jollibee perform in kiddie parties.

4.      That I love watching basketball.  One of my closest friends was really surprised when I told her I love basketball.  I may not be the kind of fan that religiously watch every game on TV but it is something I really enjoy watching whenever I have time.  I still have a huge crush on Olsen Racela, Alvin Patrimonio, Jojo Lastimosa and Richard Yee.

5.      That I’m a HUGE PBB fan.  I don’t know why but this reality show really caught my interest.  Maybe I just find it interesting to see different personalities living in one house for more than 3 months.  Seeing them interact with each other and knowing that they don’t have scripts to follow, just purely their opinions and beliefs.

6.      That Cinderella is my favorite Disney character.  I love Cinderella movies.  I want to believe that someday, a handsome prince will come to our house and claim me to be his bride and we will live happily ever after.

7.      That I’m “dumb” reading the time.  I love wrist watches but the problem is I find it hard to read the time.  It usually takes a while before I answer whenever someone asks me what the time is especially if the watch I’m wearing doesn’t have numbers.  If I answered quickly, you can be sure that I’m wearing a digital watch.

8.      That I don’t use chopsticks.  I’m just a Chinese-Japanese-Korean looking gal but I don’t definitely know how to use chopsticks.  I don’t want to pressure myself using two thin sticks just to enjoy my food.  I’m still a spoon/fork lady that’s why when I went to Macau, I brought with me my “user-friendly” chopsticks.  I didn’t care when I saw the Chinese waitress laughed when she saw what I was using.

9.      That I’m really a silent person.  I know a lot of people would react when they read this because they knew me as someone who always has stories to tell.  But what they don’t know is that when I’m like that, it’s because I’m really sad or something's bothering me.  That it’s my way of hiding how I truly feel.  I enjoy silent moments alone wherein I can re-assess what’s going on in my life.

10.  That Deathly Hollows was my first Harry Potter movie.  What?!  That’s the usual reaction I get whenever I tell people that I haven’t seen any Harry Potter movies except Deathly Hollows, yeah, the last book.  Don’t get me wrong.  In a different situation, I might be a Harry Potter fanatic too, books and movies, it’s just that I didn’t get to see the first installment of the movie franchise that’s why I didn’t watch the succeeding installments.

11.  That I love Archie.  Yep.  The comic book.  It’s the first English comic book I’ve read when I was a kid and since then, I started to love Archie, Jughead, Betty Cooper, Veronica Lodge and the rest of the gang.  I may not be a comic collector but I surely enjoy reading it whenever I get a copy.

12.  That I love adventures.  I’m truly afraid of so many things but there’s something inside me that is stronger than any fear, and that is the urge to try new things.  I am not a daredevil but I’m open to the idea of trying bungee jumping someday.  I love road trips even without specific destinations.  I love getting lost with someone I love and end up laughing with what just happened.

13.  That I love to be hugged.  Whenever I am happy or sad, I love to be hugged.  Everytime someone hugs me, a friend, family or someone special, I feel that nothing would go wrong.  In sadness, no words of comfort could compare to a hug because a hug says it all.

14.  That hospitals give me the creeps.  Yep!  I hate going to the hospitals most especially if it has to be my medical check-up.  For me, it’s always bad news.  Hospitals gives me the irk feeling that something bad is going to happen.  I always hold my breath walking in hospital corridors until I reach the room of the person I’m going to visit.

15.  That I love fireworks.  Fireworks never fails to fascinate me.  My eyes light up everytime I see a firework display.  It wakes up my veins.  It gives me a certain feeling of hope and anticipation.  That even in the darkest sky, you’ll be surprised to see something beautiful and wonderful unfolding before your eyes.

the last song

 

The Last Song.  Exactly one week after watching this film, I lost the most important man in my life…  I can still remember how emotional I was while watching it.  I felt that in more ways than one, that Nicholas Sparks’ masterpiece tugged my heart to its very core.  I can relate so much to Ronnie on how she tried to be there for his dad until his last breath…just exactly what I did…  In the movie, Ronnie and her dad Steve connected thru music while my Fuder and I had this connection thru good food and good conversation. 

I have so many memories of him kept in my heart but this film also reminds me how lucky I am to have that kind of relationship with my Fuder.  The level of pain of losing him is much still the same, needless to say, while writing this blog, tears began to well up in my eyes… it’s just not the same without him.  I have so much fear that one day, I can no longer recall his voice and the tone of his laughter.  I don’t want that to happen…

Now, I’m trying so hard to live my life the way he wanted me to live it.  I want him to be proud of me even he’s already up there.  I am now 33 and I will get older, but to him, I will always be his little girl… his bunso…

I love you ‘Tay! ♥ 

♥ ♥ ♥

p.s. btw, this is something i learned from my fuder
"Dreaming is free so dream without limits, no boundaries."

someone like you

SOMEONE LIKE YOU

By: Adele

I heard, that you're settled down.
That you, found a girl and your married now.
I heard that your dreams came true.
Guess she gave you things, I didn't give to you.

Old friend, why are you so shy?
Ain't like you to hold it back or hide from the light.

I hate to turn up out of the blue uninvited.
But I couldn't stay away, I couldn't fight it.
I'd hoped you'd see my face & that you'd be reminded,
That for me, it isn't over.

Nevermind, I'll find someone like you.
I wish nothing but the best, for you too.
Don't forget me, I beg, I remember you said:-
"Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead"
Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead, yeah.

You'd know, how the time flies.
Only yesterday, was the time of our lives.
We were born and raised in a summer haze.
Bound by the surprise of our glory days.
I hate to turn up out of the blue uninvited,
But I couldn't stay away, I couldn't fight it.
I'd hoped you'd see my face & that you'd be reminded,
That for me, it isn't over.

Nevermind, I'll find someone like you.
I wish nothing but the best for you too.
Don't forget me, I beg, I remember you say:-
"Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead", yay.

Nothing compares, no worries or cares.
Regret's and mistakes they're memories made.
Who would have known how bittersweet this would taste?

Nevermind, I'll find someone like you.
I wish nothing but the best for you.
Don't forget me, I beg, I remember you said:-
"Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead"

Nevermind, I'll find someone like you.
I wish nothing but the best for you too.
Don't forget me, I beg, I remembered you say:-
"Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead"
Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead, yay yeh yeah.

‘Heard this song “Someone Like You” by Adele.  Sad song but as I grasped the lyrics, I ended up smiling.  Few years ago, in one way or another, those were the exact words hidden in my heart, “Nevermind, I’ll find someone like you.  I wish nothing but the best for you too.  Don’t forget me, I beg…”  Those were the things I wanted to say.  The exact emotions I kept. 

But now, it’s a different story.  Things have changed.  People change.  I for one, changed.  Looking back, it still amazes me how I was able to recover and rebuild myself again because at that time, I was so broken.  Alive but dead.  I may be one of those brokenhearted who wished not to wake up again because the pain was so unbearable.  But now, I have come to realize that everything happened for a reason.  It was part of Father God’s divine plan for me.  I had to go through all those pains, anger and heartaches.  It took me quite a while before I accepted what happened.

It was a beautiful story with a beautiful beginning but it has to end.  Some good things never last cliché?  Maybe yes but maybe not.  Now, I’d like to say that maybe it was just a prelude to our individual stories.  He had found his one great love while I remain waiting until Father God reveals His plans for me.  Before, a lot of questions were in my mind such as what went wrong, what happened and so many why’s.  I can’t believe at that time that he’s capable of hurting someone, especially me.  More than a girlfriend, we used to be the best of friends.  But eventually, I realized that no matter how harsh or gentle he did it, I would still end up hurting.  It was something he can’t avoid even if he tried.  Getting hurt was inevitable.  In all fairness with him, I want to believe he really tried that’s why our relationship lasted for almost four years.  It was not perfect.  There were bumps and forks on the road, but all in all, it was four good years.

He may not know this, but I somehow admire his courage of getting out from his safe zone and what he used to call home to go after his real happiness.  But their stories are not mine to tell.  They’re the only ones who can narrate the events that took place in their union.

As for me, I’m still waiting for that someone that Father God chose to be “God’s Best” for me.  But right now, while waiting, I just enjoy the gift of being single to the fullest.  I’m giving myself the time to explore the things I wanted to do.  Learn to be a better individual each day and be the best person I can be.  I have all the time to grow and I don’t want to waste that given opportunity.  I want to love myself more.  So when the right time comes, my “God’s Best” will see me as a whole person.  And afterwards, it is now my time to start my own “happily ever after” story. ☺

More love to everyone! ♥
