"I miss you"

I want to tell you that, Chad.

But instead..

I'll get busy to have no time to think about you.
I'll forget you to forgive you.
I'll find happiness to not be sad for you.
&
I'll someday I won't  be think about you.

The red color that burns my eyes
The leather that is very smooth to my touch
The quirky style that shouts out my personality
So much for the wait,
I lost the red bag

I've been eying on this bas since last year, December. I told myself that I will buy it before Christmas, so I won't be tempted to use it before the 24. Alas, when I came back for it, it was already sold out. Only one branch of Kate Spade Boutique sells is here in Manila. I'm keeping this one in my Investment List. I hope that soon, this bag will be available.

ONE: Graduate School

18 months of studying Management in Entrepreneurship at Ateneo Graduate School, Rockwell Center. School will officially start this February and I have 3 modules to accomplish for the whole school year. I'll be studying and working at the same time. I really really hope that I'll be able to enjoy and adapt to the hectic schedule that I will be juggling. I won't be leaving my work as part of Sales & Marketing, I'll be incorporating being a GM and will practicing the learnings on my future studies.

I really hope and pray that I will swiftly achieve and put into practice what I will be learning in school and be able to incorporate the principals/ values to our own company. I hope to prove to my Dad that choosing me is not a mistake.


TWO: Waking Up in the Morning

The first challenge that I encounter in my daily routine. I can't sleep early, no matter how I force myself. I hope my Classes will start 10AM.


THREE: Nicotine Cut-Back

Since Ateneo is a Smoke Free School and I'm pretty sure that my classes will be held on the 4th floor; I hope that my smoking habit will be controllable and (cross fingers) lessen.


FOUR: Friends

Looking forward to meet new set of friends who I can hang out or (maybe) do business with.


FIVE: Year Ending

We shall see....

I gave the speech right after dinner. I remember that i couldn't eat and I drank half a glass of wine to collect my courage. My speech is short and simple, but from my heart. I figured since its a intimate wedding, there is no point of expressing much of the Bride and Grooms personality - the two Bestman covered that part well enough.

I hope that Antonio and (especially) Elaine love and appreciate my what I said that night.


Good Evening Everybody.

I'm Valerie.

Thank you Emma for asking me to be your Maid of Honor, I wasn't expecting it.

I've known Elaine since we were grade 6. Our Friendship blossomed during High School.
Elaine is like a Sister to me. We had our shared trials is life. We Fought, we cried, we laugh, we had each other's back.

When Elaine told me that she got engaged to Antonio - That was the first time we spoked to each other after a year of no communication. I remember, I felt sand and happy at the same time.

Happy, cause my Sister is back.

Sad (for a split seconds), cause I'm loosing her again for the second time.

But now, I've realized that I'm not loosing a sister. Instead, I'm gaining a brother.


To Antonio and Elaine:

I'm wishing you the best of both worlds.
Love each other as if it was the first time.
Pray together before you sleep
And most of All (promise me this), I'll be the Ninang of your first born
... Make it soon!
Love you Both!

Cheers!!!

"The Clouds I Can Handle, but I Can't Fight with an Eclipse"



- Jacob Black




The finial book before Launching Her latest book Breaking Dawn by Stephenie Meyer on the first week of August this year.

Yes, I have read all three books. Its really good. Of course the third book is a continuation of the second book. Basically the story here is the merging of the Vampires and Werewolfs. This is where Victoria (Late James's girlfiend) had her revenge in action. The story line was a little bloody towards the end part of the book. Victoria had created a gang of new bloodsuckers as a strategic plan to kill Bella. On the Process of merging, Edward and Jacob set aside there differences. Jacob on the other hand became more fun in the book! He grew more mature and daring. Edward, was his typical Edward. I guess if you have a life span of immortality - forever. How can someone change over a couple of years, speaking without the love subject injected - if you know what I mean.

Concentrating with the Love Story of the book - the triangle love story between Edward (Vampire), Bella (Human), and Jacob (Werewolf).

Jacob serenade his love for Bella as more than just friends. He tried to change Bella's decision of turning herself to a Bloodsuckers.

Edward didn't made the same mistake he did on the second book - leaving Bella. Edward was trying to change Bella's heart to become like one of his kind. Since Edward dispise himself and wanted Bella to live a normal life.

Bella is starting to worry that she is aging while the love of her life Edward still looks the same. As a deal to Edward (to surely change her), They will get married after graduation. Bella also wanted to lose her virginity while she was still Human which in the story shows how old fashion Edward is.

The ending of the book was kind of mediocre. Unlike the first and second book.


I find it funny to the part of Bella wanting to loose her virginity. I find it too safe for the Author to be playing this game of Value. To my own opinion, she should have gone with the flow. I mean, since Edward is Bella's love of her life. Stephenie could have discreetly mentioned that they had sex and not giving too much emphasis to this story line, right? Its kind of hypocritical, to my own opinion.

Now, I'm waiting patiently for the fourth book. Already pre-order the book. Thrilled!! Can't wait to read and to see if Bella will have the guts to walk to talk of becoming a Bloodsucker. Also to see where the Author will lead Jacob's broken heart (I always gave more importance to the one who is hurt).

I'm not a bookworm, nor I have a regular schedule of books to read.
I'm more of a visual girl, litteraly visual.

I'm not starting a book review essay here.

Since I am teaching myself to put into writing what i can share my fellow close friends. I got this book in my hands. Its my 13-year-old cousin (shameful as we insert age information). If you are a fan of reading Vampire Novels, such as Bram Stoker's Dracula, Interview with the Vampire by Anne Rice, or Bloodline written by Kate Cary.

This book that I am about to mention will be shown in theaters this coming December of 2008. If your the type who love to critique from reference of a book to movie. This book should be in your list.

Let me mention some particulars about the book. The story takes place in Phoenix, where the weather is cloudy, gloomy, and cold. More in the shades of gray - a little gothic, as my imagination starts to journey from the story. Like any other favorable books the story is about a 17 year old teenage girl named Bella Swan and a vampire boy named Edward Cullen. The odd love of a human and a hundred year old vampire. The story itself is simple. They started off knowing each other in a rarity accident in school, which lead Bella in a hunger of curiosity about the Cullen's or Edward itself. As she learned who Edward really, threats in her life began to slowly intensify.

I personally find the book to be scintillating,a little suspense and romantic. For a young Adult book. This one is on top of my list.

"How old are you?"

"Seventeen," he answered promptly.

"And how long have you been seventeen?"

His lips twitched as he stared at the road.

"A while."
