“Tonight I’m gonna wish upon a star I never wished upon before”

— Star, Bryan Adams

Good night world!

It’s been a while since I wrote something here. The changes happening the past few months compels me to write again.  For how many months I have neglected, almost abandoned, this piece of cyberspace — a friend that always accepted me for what I wanted to say, without any judgement.

So hello dear blog, we meet again.

A very useful and funny tip from What The Duck comic strip by Aaron Johnson.

…fake it ’til you make it.

In my case, one major thing I need to fake is confidence. I need to develop the ability to not panic (or at least keep it all in), as that usually results to less focus, and makes my hands more jelly (than they usually are). Palagi tuloy ako nasisigawan ng “boss” ko

So if resolution number 1 is to believe, then resolution number 2 is to believe even more.

2009 is about to come to an end, and after a whole day of  contemplating I know just what I need for the new year.

…konting bilib pa sa sarili.

I’ll quote a line from the movie “A Cinderella Story” and baseball legend Babe Ruth…

“Never let the fear of striking out keep you from playing the game.”

So in gratitude for all the blessings I have received this year, I look forward to giving back to life more this coming 2010. And it all starts with a little self love and more faith.

Have a wonderful, happy, sparkling new 2010 everyone!

“Count your blessings, name them one by one, and it will surprise you what the Lord has done.”

I am thankful for one more year of blessings, both obvious and disguised.

This coming year, I look forward with much hope, as I challenge myself to go beyond a boundary I have never crossed before…naks!

Happy Birthday to me.

A discrete period of intense fear or discomfort…
(from DSM IV)

…if I show at least four of the criterion/symptoms listed below this category of a psychological disorder then I might be having a panic attack. But then again, my Abnormal Psychology professor would always recommend having internal and external validation of data before concluding or labeling anything as a psych case.

Great. Now I’m babbling…

It’s 12 midnight (as of my writing) and I’m leaving for Cebu tomorrow. Flight is at 10:15 am, but I don’t even have a single piece of item packed for the trip. I’m doomed!

I’ve been stressed for the past few months, helping organize this year’s Philippine Blog Awards. Don’t get me wrong, I love the fact that I am helping, but sometimes, my worrywart freak of a self doesn’t do me good…and it’s a nightmare for the pangga.

Ironically, this is the time i feel like writing on my blog. I just probably need to rant this off.

Oh, and just to share, this is what’s been running through my mind lately:

I’ll get going now.

“Patience is finding reasons to smile…

…even when there seems to be none”

…ng matatamis na tugtugan

…ng mga pusong umaapaw

…at ng mga damdaming may tinig

Salamat SUGARFREE!!!

Havaianas Philippines presents Make Your Own Havaianas 2009, where flip flop lovers are given the opportunity to create their own personalized Havaianas.

From choosing your own style, sole and strap color cominations and embellishments, expect to bring home a pair (or more) of Havaianas that will show off your creativity and personality.

Go simple and sleek by putting chic Swarovskis in different colors, or be fun and bold with this year’s featured Lifestyle and Culture pins.

Imagine a lomo camera, a tarsier, a jeepney or a sorbetero cart pin on your feet! These different Lifestyle and Culture pins are so cute, it’s so hard to choose just one. It was my first time making my own Havaianas pair, and in spite the can-be-super-difficult process of choosing colors and embellisments, the long line and a little waiting, I was giddy happy when I saw the final look of my pair:

This is the third year that this is happening and it has been always a successful event. Expect a long queue to the assembly line, so I suggest you go with somebody to talk to, or to substitute with in line while you sit down for a while

student assemblers from different universities

So visit the Rockwell Tent from May 28 (Yes, tomorrow!) to June 1, 2009 during mall hours to make a Havaianas pair that’s truly your own.

Happy flip flop making!
