thoughts i have right now

Why is Havaianas so expensive, for sandals that is basically beach wear?

I would never see myself cashing out thousands of pesos for a mere beach wear. I am sorry if somebody will be offended, but I don't see the logic of putting your hard-earned money to have beach slippers that is basically the same as what you will buy in Marikina or other department stores at half or one-third of the price. Call me a scrooge or a miser, but all of these brands are mere labels. You are not buying THE product, but the LABEL of the product. It's just status symbols, like you will be associated with so and so star or designer when you buy the bag, or shoes or what-have-yous. Maybe it's just differences in priorities, I guess. Or maybe I am stereotypically a kuripot, hahaha!!!

PS:
Raine, thank you for letting me borrow your Havaianas. It’s one hell of a relief to my poor, aching feet right now, hehe. But sorry, it wont still make me buy one. Hahaha.

25 years had passed since my cry was heard by the world

as each stage of my life evolved, it seems that the tears had been my comrade in my journey
it was not realized at that time yet how i appreciate those salty drops during the recent years
i haven't the faintest idea how my life will be though i created dreams and built sandcastles

the unfolding was exhilirating yet at times painfully excruciating

seasons passed. . . moments elapsed. . .
there were oh-so-happy times . . . challenging occassions came next . . .
beyond all these were wisdom learned . . .

now, i have years ahead to anticipate . . . years to be grateful of . . . years of learning and fun-filled epoch to be giddy about . .

happy birthday to me!!!

love from a star

You know when I said I knew little about love? That wasn't true. I know a lot about love. I've seen it, centuries and centuries of it, and it was the only thing that made watching your world bearable. All those wars. Pain, lies, hate... It made me want to turn away and never look down again. But when I see the way that mankind loves... You could search to the furthest reaches of the universe and never find anything more beautiful. So yes, I know that love is unconditional. But I also know that it can be unpredictable, unexpected, uncontrollable, unbearable and strangely easy to mistake for loathing, and... What I'm trying to say, Tristan is... I think I love you. Is this love, Tristan? I never imagined I'd know it for myself. My heart... It feels like my chest can barely contain it. Like it's trying to escape because it doesn't belong to me any more. It belongs to you. And if you wanted it, I'd wish for nothing in exchange - no fits. No goods. No demonstrations of devotion. Nothing but knowing you loved me too. Just your heart, in exchange for mine.

Yvaine to Tristan
