Treasure Chest

I don't know if you remembered.
But, I was reminded time and again as I opened up my treasure box
and I found not one but many of those copied messages.
In those treasure box, it was really filled with priceless treasures.
Treasures that I've been keeping because they meant a lot to me
even though they were just words.
And, tonight I discovered that it's really an exception when it comes to you.

On X-mas Eve

It's already the eve of Christmas - the season of love and laughter. It might be a little over exaggerated to say so, but every time the word Christmas is said, it somehow makes my heart flutter with much joy and smiles. I still wonder why the word sends so much warmth to people around the world. It has to be the way the word sounds or maybe the way the word is being expressed in different tones.

The season of Christmas also signifies the coming of a brand new year and an end to the year 2008. I am beginning to think about next year ... What will there be in store for me to learn and experience? Or what will I do to take the chances bestowed to me to learn and experience more to life?

Sometimes, I think that although many things are fated along the way, we are the one controlling the wheels and maneuvering our own journey. Admittedly, I am not the one who always comes out with new year resolution because I never believe in following them religiously. But, lately I'm sensing that I am losing some sense of direction as to where I want to be when I graduate, for instance. Well, it's not like I've never felt lost before. Maybe it's just that as I grow older (or wiser), I want to be certain of a few important things in life. I want to have at least a figure in mind of what I am going to do next. Like a flow chart that will guide me to what's the next step, what's after this, etc. Another question, sometimes I wonder what's the point of having all the plan in hand when more times than not, god always turns our plan around. Is this the way god works his magic? Or is it the way things are supposed to be? Sometimes, how do we know if it's right or wrong? For many years, all I always do is to rely on my guts and instincts. And, I must say I am always thankful that they take me to where I belong.

Personally, this year has been a rather eventful year for me. It has been one of the most enduring endeavor in many aspects of my life - family, friends, love, college, etc. This year itself, I've learned what does it feels like to be working in a real PR environment, what does it feels like to realise that sometimes what we thought was significantly good enough is still never good enough, who are my real friends, what does it mean to follow my heart, what does it mean to take my chances, what does it mean to walk forward and never look backwards , what does it mean to live by each day as it, how to deal with different people, how to be more patient, how to give more and take less, how to love more and expect less, etc. Just way too many I think. Hmmm ....

I am tired of thinking, wondering and wishing. Maybe 2009 is a good year for me to start considering having a new year resolution. Perhaps I shud start with baby steps ... like a monthly resolution? It's seems more feasible.

I think these are so cute! =)

Of being 21 (part II)

I know it's rather backdated. =)

A cookie jar

" With my chest throbbing quickly and my legs weakening at the knees,
a sudden thought of counting those moments came to mind.
I reckon that a cookie jar with each counting stars
to signify every of those moments
is just a way for me to look at how much things will grow.
I shall pin this thought to mind
At this moment, I am counting that there are already three stars in it."

Addicted to Food Blogs

I so need to stop looking any kind of food blogs at this odd hours. It's driving me insanely crazy and I can hear my stomach rumbling.

Can I just have a bite of chocolate? Or a scoop of ice-cream?
