The Longest 60 Seconds

When I was younger I was very active, sporty even and took up contact sports; however, when puberty hit, well let's just say my interest was redirected. Now that I'm in my late 20's, I find it hard to be active especially since I don't really like going out much and I have dizzy spells, of which doesn't feel good when you're moving around much.

So whenever my cousins or even my parents plan their next running session to the park or when my sister blabbers about her latest boxing session, I am sooo deadpan. Plus, we really let others do what they want around here. So, imagine my surprise when my sister told me to come with her to the gym, like whaaat?!

It's Always a Good Time: Birthdays with Friends

You cannot choose your family but you can definitely pick your friends. Well, it didn't go that way for me at all. I was among the transferred students in the new public school in the district. We were already on our senior year and honestly there was not really any particular reason for us to transfer, well, it maybe due to how close our houses were to the school and there were teachers to spare, sort of.

Keeping Up with the Time: Expressions Used Today

People just keep coming up with new words or expressions! There are so many expressions these days that I really have no idea as to what they are referring to and I would rather not concern myself with them, but I do enjoy whiling my time browsing through my social media or reading write-ups. So just imagine, when these weird expressions are dropped and I'm like, "what does that mean?" It's  quite frustrating, especially for me, who actually goes off the grid from time to time. Whenever I open my SNS or talk with my otherwise more "social" peers, I just can't keep up, and it's written all over my face!

Belle de Jour Rendezvous: Woman with Vision

Remember when I said that I'll be covering events in a previous post? So this is it! The first Belle de Jour Rendezvous of the year is my first event! My cousin-in-law/mommy-blogger Coi had me tag along. I was so looking forward to it, since I am familiar with the brand; my sister had been using their planner for about 3 years now, and this year I availed a planner myself.

To whom do you think it was for?

Those bouquet of tulips of various sizes and colours,

Those beautiful eyes gleaming with excitement and ardour.

And that pleasant smile of which other girls are deprived off;

To whom do you think it was for?

Each morning whether it rains or shines,

he is always waiting for you with a smile.

"How could you be so lucky?" the girls often exclaimed;

Then think to themselves, there are others far deserving of his name.

If you bother to think about it, what they say holds true,

I tell you now girl, don't you go brooding too much over it too!

He gave up a lot of better things just to be with you.

It wasn't exactly for his benefit now, would you?

So if there are times he fails to deliver or disappoints you in some way,

Don't forget all his hardships, the sacrifices he made in your name.

And if you ever come to a point you just can't get through,

Take time to ponder and ask yourself...


What good will it bring? Would it be for him or just you?
