February Feels

Sometimes, you just can't help to feel sad.
Nothing's wrong...

Just sad...

That Was Quick

The year went by real quick!
I mean it's already the 14th of January 2017! Like wow!

• Revisiting UST
• Won UAAP Havaianas
• Have not watched a single UAAP game
• From 11-3 to 3-11 :(
• Making excuses when I should have said yes and face my fears
• Inspiration gone

No expectations for 2017!

I'll just live it day by day....

Yes

How hard is it to say that word?

Maybe it depends on the question?

On who's asking?

I just remembered that I promised myself to say a lot more 'Yes' in 2016. It seems that I haven't really followed thru with my promise. 

What to do?! 

PS. There's only two more months left in the year! Waa!!!

Happy

Just wanted to write that I'm happy 💛

Musings

Sometimes I wish I had more friends. Friends who take more risks. Don't get me wrong, I love the crop of my current friends. I just think sometimes, what if I had friends who loved going out, partying, would I love it too? I just want to try new things and share the experience with my friends. 

Maybe the problem is not having more friends, maybe it's because my current friends have a life and I just have to suck it up and live mine... alone...

Manila Loves Coldplay

Praying and hoping for a Coldplay concert in Manila :)

Ramblings

You may have noticed that the past few months my posts have been frequent but then it stopped again. Well, there's a reason for that. The months I blogged, I was inspired to write by some'thing' then that inspiration stopped. That inspiration is some'thing' I want to forget already... but then again maybe not...
