Crave

Early this evening right after work at Makati, I head straight to Crossing. I usually pass by at a mall near MRT and would take a window shopping before I go home.

I chance upon this tiangge stall whose selling blouses that you can wear at office. So I checked out the designs and price. I became interested to buy because these are the blouses that I like and the designs are appropriate in a corporate setting plus the quality is excellent.

I started to ask how much, and because I’m already eyeing a nice blouse, I started to haggle.

My asking price is not amenable to them. So as one of my “act” in every haggling situation, I started to move away from the stall as if I’m no longer interested to what they’re offering. But alas! They caved in!

I got my violet blouse to my satisfaction.

Here’s the problem, whenever I have this cheap finds, I can’t help myself but to go back again.

That someone’s telling me that I should come again, find another one, and buy it.

It’ll haunt me unless I do something. That is to visit again.

I think every woman can relate to this kind of situation. The dominant feeling of sweet success in finding a good blouse is already an accomplishment.

I really need to go back to that store, ASAP!

Manila Bay at its finest

These pictures were taken at the top of a high-rise condominium along Roxas Boulevard. near Coastal area. I had the urgency of taking these pictures due to breath taking view unfolding in front of me. A soothing feeling crept over me as I took the result of these pictures.

Manila Bay is serene and calm. Three elements of earth united harmoniously despite a tempest seething somewhere.

Even though the sun hide beneath the clouds, you know that despite the absence, the bay will never fail to give you one of the greatest show on earth.



Sunset at Manila Bay is truly one of a kind; it is full of compassion and dramatic emotion. It gives you a certain kind of feeling of warmth, hope and love.

It’s as if no matter what time of the day, it invites you every moment to take a minute and savor the beauty it serves.

I’m sure each one of us has its own interpretations and feelings that slip in our mind whenever we see this kind of masterpiece.

Evolution

Its been awhile since I last scribbled my pen in a paper and share/expose my thoughts, feelings ( on a daily basis) towards situation, emotion and other conditions that affect me as a person. As far as I can remember the first time I started a real diary was when I was in second year high school wherein we are required to have a diary and write all the things that happened and discussed on that particular subject. Included in the diary are your thoughts and analysis, and that diary should show creativeness like some artwork and colorful designs.

I hate it.

Hate the artwork side. I am not the person who has some flair in making beautiful and flamboyant drawings.

Double the hate - when your teacher graded your performance based on your artwork in diary.

College days were crammed with lots of projects, thesis, exams, etc. I decided that I can have a diary but not with the writings of love, emotion, feelings, thoughts, instead I filled it with schedules of favorite TV programs, quotations, deadlines of assignments/projects, date of exams and some highlights of what happened that day. The diary itself is a compact notebook with 3" x 2 1/ 2” size. It is small yet it is packed of information I needed to keep me sane.

Of course, no artworks included.

According to a prominent talk show host in America, she suggested that we should have a journal and write at least 5 things/situations that make us thankful for everyday. I think this technique tells us that when you read it a year from now, you will realize you are indeed a blessed person. It successfully shows how you have grown from what you have been.

When I read my diary I made when I was in high school I would laugh at myself for the silliness I have written. But at the back of my mind, these writings have made me a better person. These diaries served as evidence of what you have accomplished in life. It is our guidance in all our endeavors. Journals shaped and evolved us.

In this blog, I’d like to share my thoughts about my work, books that I read, latest in computer and information technology and just about the everyday life.

But this time I’ll try to put some artwork.
