My good vibes song for the week :)

James Massone: "Don't Know Why"

Since I watched this performance, it's been my LSS. haha.

I crush James Massone now but he's not my top pick. Since the start of Season 2, I am a Team Ceelo and Team Blake. My heart was broken when Blake didn't choose Charlotte Sometimes and NAIA KETE! I looove them and they are awesome performers.. So I ended up being a TEAM CEELO, it's not that Blake ousted my fave on his team but TEAM Ceelo singers are awesome! and every performance is fantastic, they have pure talent and CEELO is an awesome coach, from the stage design to everything, very hands on! loove him. And by the way I also love Lindsey Pavao from Team Christina -- Oh my Goooosh! She's a Goddess , that voice and that pretty face, who can resist???!

Well for Team Adam... Adam Levine will always be in my heart! LOL and I love Mathai, her voice is so unique! haha

to end this all, I LOVE THE VOICE! Thank you. :P

#11 Inspire: It's okay to be hurt.

'nuff said. :)

I love you Katy! :)

Nessun Dorma

Tired of chasing Ken, Paul meets him one last time before leaving on a journey to Europe in search for a better place to dream and love. 

The film explores the love and relationship struggles of Asian gay men caused by social constraints. It describes their aspirations for Europe, where there is a culture of acceptance and open-mindedness, as well as support from governments in the form of legal same-sex partnerships.

Nessun Dorma is a famous aria from Puccini\'s opera \"Turandot\" that depicts an unknown prince\'s unrequited love to a beautiful but cold princess. In the film, the aria is used to mirror Paul\'s wailing for a love that cannot be fulfilled.

This short film is submitted by Ronald Genato.

This was shared to me by our College Professor, this is a film of one of his former students. It is worth watching and please like it so it will win the contest. :)

#10 Inspire: Let Go

LET IT GO. I'm not just talking about "because you've hold on too long, it's okay to let go", I am also talking about all the frustrations, regrets, painful struggles, heartbreaks, envy, jealousy and all the negative things you are keeping in your heart. Let it rest and let go. 

I'm telling this to myself too everyday. :)

Reflection and Ramblings

Holy Week, Semana Santa or Mahal na Araw is a significant religious festival here in the Philippines. Different towns, regions etc. have their own traditions. Businesses shuts down operations starting Maundy Thursday until Black Saturday (while some just opens late on a Saturday) to give respect for the tradition. It is also the time when people start to think of a summer getaway not only to enjoy but also to pause and reflect.

As for me and my officemates, a time to have a break, a vacation or whatever you want to call it. We planned to go to Polilio Island then thought that it might be dangerous to travel thru boat ride on that day. So, we decided to go to Calaguas Island. CALAGUAAAAS!!!

photo not mine. got it from their fb page

When we are so excited about everything, we decided to back out because we learned that the weather is not good in the North. We have to travel by boat on the way to the island so we have to scrap the plan. We are very disappointed but for sure we will re-schedule this trip. :)

And because I don't know what to do during the break (except for writing my articles and catching up on my tv series and BOOKS), I ask my mama if she wants to have a Visita Iglesia around the churches in our town on Thursday. She's game for it so I will share you about our own Visita Iglesia.

So this is how I spent my Maundy Thursday with my Mama. :)

Our first stop, Sto. Rosario Parish Church --the church where we always hear mass. :)

Sto. Rosario Parish Altar

This little girl is so adorable. I think she's with her parents doing their own Visita Iglesia too. I saw her when we transferred to the next church, too.

Second stop: San Lorenzo Parish

This is my first time to be in this church. They say that if it is your first time to visit a church --you should wish and it will be granted. I don't know if it is true but it wouldn't hurt to try so I did! haha

My mama trying to reread her prayer booklet.

Hers is the old version that is why she is confused. Haha 

Third Stop: A church in Chrysanthemum Village (Sorry, i forgot the name :/)

Mama! :)

It is so good to see a family, praying together. :)

Fourth Stop: Our Lady of Sto. Rosario Parish (it has the same name with our parish..)

Also my first time here. *wish*

Fifth stop: The Church that is closest to my heart. Sto. Niño de Cebu Parish. 

The church of my high school Alma Mater. This is where we have our First Friday Mass. I remember this is where we've shoot our short film  (for our Filipino class) back in Senior year. So many memories. Few walks away from my high school but it is summer break so I decided not to go inside the school. :) 

Sixth stop: Miraculous Medal Parish :) It has just a small congregation and the church is small (sorry haven't took more of the church's interior.)

After the Visita Iglesia, we went home and rest.

It is very hot during the afternoon. You know when it is so hot you cannot think clearly? Gosh. It is really summer after all! haha!

I may not be in the beach but I still wore a cover up while I'm in the house!!!! hahaha It is a crazy hot summer!!! Ugh!!!

crazy mode on! sorry for this! hahaha!

Now's the time for me to finish reading Looking for Alaska and Kafka on the Shore (how many times do I have to tell this to myself?!)

Ta-ta!

Because it is vacation, I have more time to blog! Yey! Oh my gosh I'm rambling?! 

If TVD characters would be in THG

I found this on tumblr and I really can't help but post this here. hahaah!!!

If you are a fan of The Vampire Diaries and The Hunger Games, you'll laugh at this. :)

Thanks to savatoregilberts, I found it in her blog. :)

Damon: would kill everyone on the first minute
Stefan: would eat bunnies and let everyone kill each other
Katherine: would make everyone kill each other in brutality but leave the hottest guy in there so she can have sex with him and feed on him
Elena: would kill herself before making it to the arena
Klaus: would be the head gamemaker
Caroline: would do her hairporn and everyone would just die
Elijah: same as Caroline
Bonnie: "witchcraftbullshitandblahblahblah-" -dead
Jeremy: Elena would probably volunteer so he won't have to do it
Matt: would die on the first minute
Tyler: he won't be there because he's modeling underwear
Alaric: would be a mentor
Rebekah: would b*tch her way to winning

Dream catcher

Look what I've got!!

A new dream catcher. It was supposed to be placed on the top of my bed but  i think it fits perfectly beside the note in my mirror. What'd you think? haha

And I think I have a new collection to fill up to. My other dream catcher is in my monitor in the office. :)

Hoping to have more dream catchers to be collected. hahahaha


I'm loving it! :)

#9 Inspire: You are never alone.

I know this is not a great entry for not posting more often but I hope this could inspire some random stranger who feels that he/she is alone. :) We're all just the same. We feel sad, happy, in love or any emotions that you can imagine and you are not alone.

Got a good #CatchUpWeekend by watching SMASH --its so good, Katharine Mcphee is made of pure awesomeness... and Im trying to catch up on The Vampire Diaries too... :)

And yes, I'm having a double time on my reading -- STILL, stuck with Kafka on the Shore and Looking for Alaska -- I just hope after this week, I've finished these two books already. :)

And to add -- my bestfriend has graduated from College last Friday! And I'm a proud bestfriend!!! :)

Congratulations dear! :) I loove you!

I took the photo from my phone :)

And as for work -- I hope you can visit Gala Magazine's website. I'd really appreciate it if you'll take a look. (I'll blog more about Gala Magazine next time --visit the website okay?)

Thank you very much! Hope to be back soon! LOL.. :)
