Capricorn

I always received this chain email on my inbox. Better post it here rather than forwarding it again and again and annoying the people I will send it to. And also, I like what is said on my sign, somehow it's true. It's just too unfair that Capricorns have the longest years of bad luck than the other signs.

there are a lot of thoughts running in my mind right now but can't find the right words to say it...

Home sweet home

Finally, after eight months of 'domestic partnership*' with Dina, we are now moving to a new and bigger house! As in, really big! It was a three-storey house with roof garden and garage. One bedroom and one bathroom for each floor that means one floor for each of us (Dina, Abby and me).

And since I am packing my things for the big move tomorrow while doing this blog, I 'll just let the photos do the talking for the mean time. Just bear with the photos 'cause I just got it from the website. I'll post more and better pictures once we moved in.

mini lounge area outside my bedroom on the third floor

transparent ceiling above my bed (can't wait to stargaze! kaso bihira pala ang stars sa dublin. haha)

our living room on the second floor

I'm so excited for my privacy, own space, own bathroom, big closet to fill in with all my clothes, parties etc. and to leave the 'big brother house' haha. Finally, I got evicted! :P

*don't be a pervert, we're not lesbians! we just shared the bed to save rent, nothing sleazy happened. haha :)

I got my UK Visa approval today! Yey!

Scotland here I come! =)

I think I should start offering eggs to St. Claire to give us good weather during our tour! haha.

I'm not feeling good..

My friend Aya always say, "Look good and feel good!"

Damn! How can I look good right now? I'm having pimple break out (thanks to my genes!grrr!). My contact lens are already outdated and giving me headache so I have to wear those nerdy eyeglasses. My hair badly needs a treatment or at least a haircut. And the worst, I feel I'm gaining weight again.

Waaaaaaahhhh! I want to go home to Philippines! I miss Belo. My friend who tried to consult a dermatologist here just told me to wait until I go home instead of just wasting hundred of euros for a bad facial. That means I have no choice. Sigh! I just hope these are just due to stress. I hope to be ready for my close up once I cleared my thoughts with all these stress.

For the mean time, I think I'll just hide on my cocoon before I go out again as a beautiful butterfly. haha!

Jetset Ready!

Finally, i got my work permit! Yey! That means I'll be legal alien now, I'll have visa and I can have my out of country holidays! Yey!

Im so excited that I dont know now on which country should I go on holidays.

The cheap flight fare back home is very tempting. But Nah! I'll just miss home more if I go home for just a while. Save myself and my money for December.

So where will I go now? France? Spain? Scotland? Chicago?

I want to go somewhere that has bit of sun to experience summer this year. Spain or France might be a good destination for that but my friends here have no travel plans anymore for this year so if I have to go there, I'll just be alone. That's not fun, no one will take my pictures then.

So maybe I'll just go visit my friends in Edinburgh, or in London or in Chicago. I just have to apply for a visa (which is soooo expensive right now) for those countries.

Sigh! Visa! Visa! As much as I want to be proud of being Pinoy, i can't help to hate it having a passport that is 'not trusted' by any immigration port.

Anyway, whatever glitches or expenses, I think I much deserve a relaxing break! :)

Oh! If only I have mates to come with me on my tour. Everything would be easier. :P

I'm tired

…of working too hard
…of thinking
… of caring about what other people think of me
…of breaking the silence
…of being a stranger to my own house
…of pleasing and understanding people

But I don’t want to concede, to stop because this is life. This is adulthood. It isn’t just a game I play when I was still a child where I can just say “Ayawan na!”. These are not just Math problems that have answer keys. These are real life trials. And I know this will not be given to me if He knows I can’t solve it.

Is this my life now?

I feel these four walls closing in
Face up against the glass
I'm looking out
Is this my life
I'm wondering
It happened so fast
How do I turn this thing around
Is this the bed I chose to make
It's greener pastures
I'm thinking about wide open spaces far away

All I want is the wind in my hair
To face the fear but not feel scared
Wish I could recklessly love like I'm longing to

I see the girl I wanna be
Riding bare-back, care-free
Along the shore
If only that someone was me
Jumping head-first, head-long
Without a thought
To act and damn the consequence
How I wish it could be that easy
But fear surrounds me like a fence
I wanna break free

1st Anniversary - June 28, 2007

I've been drafting a post about my first year anniversary here in Ireland but obviously, and as usual, I wasn't able to do it. Blame it to my busy schedules and to an unforeseen circumstance that happened to me which I am thinking of discussing on another blog. :)

Anyway, time flies so fast. I didn't realize i've been here for a year. It feels like it was only yesterday when I was in the airport with the most special people in my life and now I am counting the days to go home and be with them again.

For all of these, I thank God. I know He was always with me for the past year. Never did i get sick since I came here which is so unusual for me being so sickly since childhood. He also gave me emotional strength to overcome the sadness of being away from my family.

I can say this is the best year in my life so far. And I am looking forward for what other experiences, lessons, people to meet, places to go that I will encounter during my stay here in Ireland.

(I still hope to post a more detailed blog about my stay here soon!)

Why???

Why there are questions that are left unanswered?

Why there are answers that are questioned?

Why things happen for a reason?

Why do we find reason for things that happen?
