Tin Was 21 and a Week Old

She blessed us with the F word:

Avoiding the Quadrillion Probabilities of Our Non-existence by Joe Pintauro

i am not who i was
i am not going to be who i was going to be
you changed all that

you are not who you were
you are not going to be who you were going to be
i changed all that

what is, is. and cannot not be.
what was, was. and cannot not have been.
so you see
my love

we are us.
we are us now and we shall never have been
not us.

who are we going to be?
we are going to be who we never would have been
without each other.

My Bucket List

(not in particular order)

1. Stay in a job I love
2. Trek around Europe
3. Get married to the most amazing man
4. Be the best mom (and wife)
5. Perform on stage
6. Live in a foreign country and explore its different culture
7. Take at least 5 kids to college (maybe by contributing to a scholarship program)
8. Visit the most picturesque place in the world
9. Do something scary and wild (sky diving perhaps?)
10. Do something remarkable which could improve the lives of the marginalized in the country (I know it's seems impossible, but I'm sure there will always be ways to do so) :)

For the Love of Food

I can barely notice where I am in the crowd of pictures taken from my Freshman year. I have almost forgotten that my shirt tags were used to be labelled with "S" (for small) and not "L" (for large). I suddenly miss the light feeling of wearing my colorful sleeveless tops and mini skirts, since these have been hanging for awhile now in a neglected part of my cabinet.

During the past 4 (school)years, I can estimate that I have gained around 10 to 15 pounds of mass in my body. It crossed from my cheeks, rested in my tummy, and raced up to my legs. But didn't Grade School Science say that "the more mass an object has, the more it attracts other objects towards it?" So thanks to Chicken Strips, I was able to suck in all those Freshman Math. Thank You, Asian Salpicao, for giving me the will and the patience to sit in Diyco's class. I owe Seattle's Best and Figaro coffee for warming me up during all my Philo and Theo Orals. Maybe without caffeine, I couldn't have aced those. Thanks also Cerealicious for adding sugar to our Thesis.

What a nice way to rationalize overeating one's overdependence on food, huh? XD

But don't worry, I'm not binging and waiting 'til I can pull on the Earth. I've already been eating fish and vegetables for a week now, and I started jogging/walking this morning. Sometimes, I invite in a piece of choco chip cookie as my reward.

I haven't lost a pound yet, but somehow, I feel lighter. Maybe because I'm now attracting some "healthy vibes", and it's doing good to my soul, don't you think?

Nevermind if I still don't recognize myself 4 years from now. I'll be better by then, just as I know better now. :)

Lomo in the Beach

Punta de Uian, San Antonio, Zambales
March 10-12, 2008


Even if their receptionist is bitchy, and even if there weren't any other guests aside from us during our first hours there, it's okay. :)
The place was all ours, and no one was able to distract us from appreciating the sun, the sand, and the dazzling beach.

TRIVIA: Dito nagshooshoot and Marimar. Haha. Yun ang sikreto.


Ang hirap labanan ng waves doon. Kaya kaming tayangin hanggang China.
Kaso naisip namin wala kaming visa, so 'wag na lang.


As usual, Tin and her DSLR. TIN UPLOAD YOUR PHOTOS NA!


Tin in awe of the beautiful sunset.


Mich, Tin, and me so far away from Jo


At first I thought the chairs were the only ones there.


Ready for island hopping and snorkeling huh?


Capones Island
There's the old lighthouse built way back when the Spaniards were here.


Mich, bakit ka may scarf?


Takot sa araw, halimaw ata


The end or the beginning?
Both, I believe.

I'll post more lomo pics here in my Multiply
tonight. I'll post the pics from my digicam too. :)

I HOPE YOU'LL ALSO FIND WAYS TO ENJOY THE SUMMER HEAT!
And have a blessed holy week.
