Reasons Why I Love Taylor Swift

So Taylor will be having a Red Tour in June and I've been TRYING to get free tickets thru the #SpinnrTaylorSwift promo. Well, I was just hoping my luck would somehow appear. *fingers crossed*

Okay so I've been thinking about how, in the first place, did I fall in love with Taylor Swift? So I came up with 5 reasons. Not enough? Sorry but there's too much awesomeness and fab in her I can't even. Uhuh.

1. Her classy fashion.
Yes, yes. I just love pastels and lace on her.  Did I mention glitter? Hmm.

2. Her simple but mesmerizing beauty.

You cannot argue with this.  No. more. words. available.

3. She's loves animals.

Her cat is named Meredith and is very much famous on her Instagram account: http://instagram.com/taylorswift

4. Her talent and her wonderful songs.

People judge her about how all her songs are just about her breakups. For all to open their eyes,  her purpose of writing is about expressing herself and no one has the right to either tell her how to feel and tell her what to write songs about.  But on the other hand, her songs also teaches us that despite the risks of love, it is a very beautiful experience and is deserving to be felt by everyone.

5. For being herself.

Taylor has a good sense of humour and a very bubbly personality. This is why I love her. Despite people's judgements and criticisms, no one seems to bring her down.

WHY I WANNA GO TO THE RED TOUR 2014 IN MANILA

Can you find me in the photo below of the crowd during the Speak Now Tour?

No? Ofcourse not!

IT'S BECAUSE I WASN'T THERE!

I missed all the fun and the moments where you just sing along to your favorite song.

Forever a Swiftie.

Little Infinities Entry

I joined this contest involving an early showing of the tfios movie and it required posting something about tfios with  the hashtag #littleinfinities .  I actually have  had this thought for a long time and I just couldn't put it into words. But now I proudly present to you my thoughts (if you actually care) that went straight from my heart.

.........


When I read The Fault In Our Stars , I actually couldn't take it off my hands. There was something about that book---the story had this magnet-like effect on me.

It is actually a feel good story; despite the cancer and the tragic ending that actually made me feel good about life and happy thoughts on love.

What struck me the most was how the story pointed out how  true love can still be within oneself even though the world isn't perfect or as how we want it to be.

And how love can still prevail even with the strongest forces against it.

How love, despite everything, overpowers life's defects, imperfections, and weaknesses.

Read and experience Hazel and Augustus's epic love story. :) xx

Inspiration, come to me.

I've been plotting on writing a book to be posted on Wattpad.  But it seems that I can't even think of a story plot. Am I that uncreative?  Cliche plots pop into my head and I'm not in favor of those. I've been thinking if I could base my story on my life.   But then again, my life isn't novel worthy (I cry).   I could also write about my personal beliefs.  But then again, how do I even start?   How can I share a story that would be noticed and appreciated?   How can I create a feel good story that could actually make people feel good?  Is it that I have too much expectations that even I can't  fill?

 I have already  tried to start stories. First 2  chapters? Hmm. Good! But chapter 3? 4? 5? And so on? Nothing. Nothing comes into my mind. 


Maybe Essays are really my forte.

Cebu is for Summer 2014

Last Sunday, April 6, my family and I flew to Cebu to unwind from Manila's pollution (oops).

Since it was still early we decided to eat breakfast at Zubuchon and I swear, I loved the meal I ordered. It was kinda like adobo flakes but used lechon instead. (I was too hungry I wasn't able to take a picture..)

We visited the guitar factory of Alegre. I swear I had NO IDEA guitars had different designs inside them.

While I was at it, I decided to buy a ukelele of my own. I was thinking of a name and I ended up choosing Patty. (idkwtho)
I KNOW HOW TO PLAY "THE SHOW" AND "YOU AND I" :)




Next stop is Lapu-Lapu Shrine ( I think that what they call the place)

And our next destination... Fort San Pedro.

Next and I think the last destination, is of course, we can never miss, the famous, Magellan's Cross. (with wood supports because of the damages brought by the earthquake)

We also went to Casa Gorordo Museum and an ancestral home.

Oh I forgot, we also went to Ayala Mall there then proceeded to The Henry Hotel, which I found interesting. :)

On Monday, we woke up at 6am because we were to travel to the island of Sumilon. Our travel time took approximately 3 hours with a Vios as our transpo. After 3 hours we rode a boat that would bring us to BlueWater Sumilon where we stayed.  

 Was here most of the time with Patty.

 We roamed around the Island and we were brought to an old lighthouse and watchhouse.

 We also went snorkeling.

 It was super hot and so my mom made this hahaha

WHALESHARK ENCOUNTER!!!

It was sooooo overwhelming. To be about 8 meters away from a creature? I died.
BUT IT WAS ALSO A REALLY GREAT EXPERIENCE.
It's a must-try in case you visit Cebu :)

I got really paranoid because I was afraid that its tail (?) would touch my legs.

This is a rare photo of me being brave.

Since it was our last day, this trip was not complete without a photoshoot session. ;)

 ( Oh look how did I get there lol)

(winner shot whoot)

Have a happy summer :)

Another year, another chapter.

2013 has passed and so another year comes.

Its that time when you turn another page to begin another chapter in your storybook.
Friend are met, challenges are passed, and memories are made.
This 2014, new ones are to be encountered.

Endings of years are not endings of life but new beginnings. People take advantage of new years so that they could accomplish their goals that have not been. But I tell you, it is never too late. Life is long enough for our goals to be done.


People have their own "New Years Resolutions". These are the things they want to change in themselves. But every year, there is this one thing that I always say to myself.

I must change for the better.

For the better of  myself and for others.



Mistakes have been made but we learn from them.  Through these, we grow into better individuals.

As we enter another chapter of our storybook, let us look back into the past years and try to change our negative attitudes. Achieve our goals! People say dreams are just achieved in fairytales. But, just believe and your dreams may turn into reality.

All Things Are Possible With Him.

A very strong super typhoon has landed on the islands of Visayas in the Philippines. It's so sad that my country has been experiencing so much lately. From the strong typhoons to the strong earthquakes.

A few weeks ago, Bohol and Cebu  experienced an earthquake followed by strong aftershocks. They have suffered so much from that; and now they are part of the affected places brought by the strong Typhoon Yolanda. Not only them but as well as the other parts of Visayas. 

I, personally, am not experiencing such. For I am far from the affected areas. But still, they are my fellow Filipinos and I care for them too.  

So I pray for their safety and courage. 

I pray that no one is to be taken away from their families.

 I pray for them to be strong enough to get through any conflicts they conquer.

For I know that He is always there to protect us and guide us. 

He will always be there to help us with our worries.

We just need to have faith in Him.

Because I believe that all things are possible with Him.

Jeremiah 29:11

"For I know what my plans for you are, plans to save you and not to harm you, plans to give you a future and to give you hope." 

Sembreak!

I've been waiting for months. 

Though I got to have a week of rest due to the typhoon, it's still wasn't enough ; I guess.. I think it's because while I was  on "vacation" for a week, I had to worry about exams. BUT NOW, I've got nothing to worry about. 

No lessons to be reviewed. 

No early morning wakes. 

NO EQUATIONS. (just kidding)

I was kind of hoping for an out-of-town trip but I guess this is enough. Think on the brightside. I'll get to be with my friends. Maybe go out malling  or just stay-in to watch chick flicks and horror films. And maybe just play Just Dance 2014 while looking crazy. I guess I could live with those stuff. 

I actually have plans this sembreak with my friends. But I'm not quite sure yet. 

Oh well. I'll probably just go with the flow. Maybe finish all of John Green's books. 

and be happy..

tatah.
