Maligayang Kaarawan!

Maligayang Bati! Maligayang Bati!
Maligayang Maligayang...
Maligayang Bati!

I know you're having the time of your life over there, but I hope you won't forget your friends who love and miss you back here in Manila.

Ang tagal kong ginawa tong collage para lang sayo. :D

Some of the pictures were borrowed from the birthday girl herself.

Saw this vid and i instantly knew i had to share it with you

Online cuteness spreads like wild fire! So here is little Capucine from France and she wants to tell you a story about a hippo, a tiger and some other animals from her imagination.

I couldn't even focus on the story because she was just too cute! Had to watch it twice. Adorable and sooo smart! Enjoy!

Once upon a time... from Capucha on Vimeo.

crappy people don't seem so bad when you've got great friends and an early season's greetings from me to you :D

I posted a drama-fest a couple of days ago and I'm quite over that now. Right after the incident, I cried a bucket full of tears. I'm pathetic, I tell you! Pathetic!

But my friends were great as usual and that beat the shittiness of the day. My friend rounded them all up and we had an impromptu drinking session to make me feel better. (You know you're getting older when beer starts tasting like water. Philippine beer at that!) So amidst the cigarettes and the ice cold beer, that crappy day turned out really well.

I swear to god I don't deserve my friends. They're just too good for me. My friend even gave me an early christmas gift to cheer me up. Check out my new lighter!

So I guess, for the holiday season, that's my wish for everyone of you out there. That you'd be blessed with amazing friends who'll be as annoyingly inquisitive about your life as my friends are, because you know they're only annoyingly inquisitive because they love you so fucking much. And also it helps to have friends who loving drinking as much as you do.

Saw Nine Months in HBO and still LOL

Dr. Kosevich: I've got it! Nurse, call the Anesthesiologist, this woman needs an enema!
Samuel, Rebecca, Nurse: An enema?!
Dr. Kosevich: No, uh, she needs a pedicure!
Nurse: This ain't no goddamn beauty parlor!
Dr. Kosevich: Epitaph!
Samuel: She's not dead, you moron!
Dr. Kosevich: Epidermis... Uh...
Rebecca: Epidural, asshole!

This scene cracks me up EVERY SINGLE TIME!

This has got to be one of the coolest weddings I've seen in a while.

This is the reason why I've been a loyal follower of Oh Joy! These beautiful photos were taken by Robert Sukrachand and I'm so inspired. If I do get married, I hope it would be as cool as this. It looks so quirky and fun and laid back. And I can't help but love her green shoes! What a nice touch.

Not looking for pity. Just a space to pour out my insecurities. Or most likely a prescription for antidepressants.

I'm scared. I'm terrified. So much so that my mind is thinking of a million reasons not to go. Not to face my demons. Not to face my mistakes. Because a large part of me knows that I'm not brave. That deep inside I don't have what it takes. That I am inadequate.

But then, the other part of me says, the part which is but a whisper, that if I don't begin now, what more in the future when I have to face tougher choices... much scarier people...

I guess the only thing that's stopping me, the thing I keep repeating in my head is that by going, I both have everything to gain and everything to lose. Life's choices after all are zero-sum games. Tit for tat. Win or lose. Up or down. A finality such as that always always scares me. Because what if I lose? How can I possibly deal with that? I know enough of myself to realize my weaknesses, and of all emotions, disappointment is the one which I fear the most.

Maybe just maybe if I say it as often as it takes, and loud enough that will drown the other voices in my head, I can be like the cowardly lion and realize that I had what I needed inside me all along. Courage and strength. Maybe in tiny amounts, but nonetheless still there.

It's just so hard to rely on maybes. Enough self-pity. Time to make a decision.
