Dear Papa

This isn't really an emotional tear-jerking post. I just wanted to let you know that we have especially dedicated this entire day all for you. 

Do know that the two women in your life are still as dashing as ever. I've grown up a lot since the last time we talked, laughed and hugged each other but I'd like to believe that I'm still the baby girl you ultimately adored and who equally feels the same.

As you can see, we have adorned your 'place' with perennials mostly from Mama's bountiful garden. They are beautiful, but they wouldn't be as stunning if it weren't for the arrangement done by...ahem...your baby girl.

You would be stoked to know that we checked out the Skyfall movie tonight too. Mama hasn't missed any James Bond film since you were gone. She has told us over and over again that James Bond and Rambo are both your favorites. I'm not yet a James Bond fan just like you tho, but I thought it was good. I was too tired today so it was a surprise that I didn't sleep at the cinema! 

It was a good day. As I've said, today was dedicated to you and your loving memory. I miss you Papa.  It's been such a long time. But knowing that somewhere out there sometime, we'll be seeing each other again eases me. 

'Til then, Papa.

6 MONTHS

Geez. It's been 6 long months since my last decent post.

I have been emotionally "under the weather" (exact words from my June entry) the past few months, hence the decision to go on a blog hiatus. I was depressed, devastated, disappointed and altogether uninspired from everything that happened. I originally thought of taking this down since it didn't do any good (to me) anymore, but it's honestly so precious to destroy. After all, memories are memories no matter how much you avoid it. I did 'hide' this for a few months just so I could take a real breather.

And you know what? I did. THANK GOD. Hahahah.

And I've missed my blog big time...writing down my thoughts about every random stuff, posting my favorite songs and videos, quoting silly lines from everywhere and just simply sharing everything I do, love and hope for. I've missed feeling giddy after every published entry. 

So today, I decided to write again. 

I'm finally writing again because I'm ready. I am doing this because I am willing to move forward and continue to be passionate about something that is important to me. I have to admit that this wasn't an easy decision. I had my sleepless nights just thinking about this blog. (Yes, that's how significant this is to me!) But today, writing all these words flowing spontaneously from my mind just makes all sense. Okay, it might be a little weird to be posting this on a Halloween night but anyway...

I feel like am finally okay. I am at peace. And this is why I'm back in the grind again!!! 

And as a comeback entry, would you be surprised if I post my recent pics? Mwahahah. This is ME,  6-months-and-a-couple-of-pounds-lost-and-regained later! 

Cheers to endings, new beginnings and lessons learned. :))

"How Many Were There Before Me?"

"...You are WHO I love. The girl in the pedestal, the fantasy, the make-believe things that are actually true. You are WHAT I love. The depth...the inside jokes, the best friend. You are WHEN I love. A new history is being started with you. We are the young lovers our older selves will someday reminisce about. You are WHERE I love, because I'd go anywhere just to be with you. You are WHY I love, because before you I didn't truly understand what I was looking for..."

DISTANCE

DISTANCE - Christina Perri (feat. Jason Mraz)

The sun is filling up the room.

And I can hear you dreaming

Do you feel the way I do right now?

I wish we would just give up

Cause the best part is falling

Call it anything but love

And I will make sure to keep my distance

Say "I love you" when you're not listening

How long can we keep this up, up, up?

And please don't stand so close to me

I'm having trouble breathing

I'm afraid of what you'll see right now

I give you everything I am

All my broken heart beats

Until I know you understand

And I will make sure to keep my distance

Say "I love you" when you're not listening

How long can we keep this up, up, up?

And I keep waiting

For you to take me

You keep waiting

To save what we have

So I'll make sure to keep my distance

Say "I love you" when you're not listening

How long can we keep this up, up, up?

Make sure to keep my distance

Say "I love you" when you're not listening

How long til we call this love, love, love?
