fly with me.

One of the most memorable trips ever. (above) This was at Asia’s sin city, Macau. i love it there.. everything is accessible, you can easily go from one place to the other for free! hehe.  

One of the most beautiful ports i’ve ever been is South Korea’s. it’s just so huge and breathtaking!! haven’t explored the city yet.. and im still looking forward in doing so. 

i’ve also experienced walking through the busy streets of Hongkong. It’s like everyone is in a hurry for something. i was there last year together with my friends— we spent earth hour sitting around the avenue of the stars.

Singapore. One of the most disciplined and cleanest place i’ve been to. everything is so orderly.. the traffic.. the people.. everything. i definitely would want to go back!:)

Boracay. i’ve been there with my brother (that’s him on the picture) and my sister, chic. we tried a whole lot of activities like marine walk, parasailing, island hopping, whale shark ride and etc. it was all fun and we had a blast!

i still have a lot of places to share but it would be too long.. i guess i would have to end this entry with this picture. This was at baguio city’s strawberry farm. Not quite what i expected but good enough to experience picking and picture taking. looking forward to go there this weekend!!! *fingers crossed :)

Because there is such thing as day off. I see it all around me. And, yeah, lately, I’ve fallen prey to it, myself…

I’m the person who’s usually insanely effective at focusing in on what I want, plotting a course, then doing anything and everything to make it happen. I’m “That Renegade -girl version.” Got a cape and everything.

So, I’ve been wondering “what’s up with me?” lately.

Damned if it doesn’t suck just a little bit when you’re confronted with your own frailty and humanity. Turns out, I’m good at handing everyone else a break…not so good when it comes to me. I’ve been so busy for the past weeks.. not giving time and space to recover, to process, to digest, to restore. Instead, I’ve fallen into what is, for me, the very unfamiliar territory of living far too reactively. I know that sounds like an odd thing to say, in light of how busy I am right now.

But, busy and being conscious are two different things. Busyness that’s not acted upon by definition and purpose is almost always a bad thing. And, it’s near impossible to find definition and purpose without space. That’s for me, at least.

So, question is, what am I going to do about it?

Here’s what. I’ll be stepping a bit backward and ask whether the thousands of things that are keeping me busy these days are the things that are shifting me toward my continuing quest to come alive… or just keeping me from re-evaluating “what” will make me come alive as I shift into what is very much a new phase of both my career and my life 

I just hit this point with my discourse. Crazy busy for months on end, and then all of a sudden I realized that I didn’t need to be busy after all. That it was all coming together without me freaking out, and that I could return to being conscious, because the busy was getting in the way. I think we all do it. It’s just a matter of whether or not you catch yourself at it. Last week i hurdled much of these sad thoguhts and enjoyed every moment of my two-days off.

and yeah, im back on track!!

I use Sunblock Spf 60 and a moisturizer everyday for protection. At night, I use Petroleum jelly to rid off excess make-up and apply St. Dalfour cream before i sleep.. and i naturally have fair skin.

1.) yes i do. but it’s not my regular-routine-kind-of-thang, i go there whenever i feel like going or when i’m free and that’s about twice or thrice a year lang.  2.) Do I use soap on my face? No, i unfortunately have sensitive skin, i easily get red spots. i just use Cetaphil and a face wash which i’ve gotten from the derma.

i have nothing against it. We all have different impressions on people and we’re entitled to that. for the record, i’ve heard that a million times already so i’m pretty desensitized up to date. hehe.

Yes, in our case the minimum is two years and fifteen years maximum (if you’re not promoted in any positions like lead cabin crew and etc.)

who is the most beautiful person you know personally from your friends? One of my bestesttt friends, Katrina Sanjuan. She’s beautiful inside and out. yeah she’s misunderstood almost 70% of the time. People would call her a snob and all that.. but she’s one of the most kind-hearted and amazing person you’ll ever know. She’s a great person and  i love her!

Why are you so gorgeous? :) why oh thank you!:) But i got no answer to that hehe.
