The hair, it sucks. I can't do much to it because my University is too strict to allow us to have it lightly colored and treated. And I'm just holding on to an excemption slip which i must renew every month. Sucks but yeah. #Josenianproblem (at Ilocos Laoag Sand Dunes)

Live happy, Live simple

I live for simple things.

Things like being able to swim by the sea, walk by the shore, and wait for the sun to set. Buy an ice cream or two and share with a friend and have a good laugh while we’re at it. Go camping with a few good friends and breathe in morning breeze. Ride a bus by night and have a warm hand to hold. Watch a movie set up at the confines of the walls of a home and pop in some pop corn in the microwave and drizzle some cheese and butter. Go for a midnight stroll in the neighborhood and grab coffee or tea at the nearest shop. Bake a cookie and trace some batter into their cheek. Clean a car and play with the bubbles and point the hose at someone. Fill up a grocery cart at its brim and leave it at one corner. Try out some good street foods and take lots of photos. Treck a trail and climb a mountain. Prepare dinner and share it with someone special rather than going out at a fancy I live for simple days where you need not live sophisticatedly. I live for simple days that explicitly draw the people you love into doing the things you love. I live for days and nights that need not be perfect but unravel good memories and strong relationships.

There is a side which people know of and a side otherwise. You lie in the thick of things which people do not know of because I set you there for a reason. You are one amidst all things that affright me. You terrorize my thoughts aligning it to solely you, yet without you knowing and with me having control over it. You are in that corner because people never knew about what we feel; because they see things more evidently appeasing, thus having me paired with someone they think would make us a good match. Screw that. I see what I see and I feel what I feel. And I would want to be able to do that without society backing up on me. Yet we were never physically and emotionally a good match. Thus, even I am a hypocrite to my own belief. But I want you to stay in that corner as much as you could. I want to see where these all could take us, see how things unravel despite all our adversities. Yet amidst all the things that make us different, I want our feelings that have already been established, burn even more. I want to love all your imperfection and be able to trace all your flaws; the same way you’d do. You were the one who let yourself through my heart which I built bricks and stones with. I want to learn that fear is nothing compared to how we value each other. And this time, I’m going out of my way to shout it to the world how important you are to me. I’m guessing that is how love works.

So long as there is breath in me, that long I will persist. One of the greatest principles on success; if I persist long enough I will win.

In a little coffee hangout with my best friend, I told him to write his pain away, letting it be his medium to channel whatever was bothering him - because I knew, without words, he was going through rubble. 

So I gave him this, well, less formal, and with less sentence - orientation, quote of advice. but it went something like this:

“When the crickets start to chirp; or when you hear discreet howls of the breeze; or when the moon shines its brightest and creates beams of shadows of the windows of a dark room, let your mind play and fill its corners with the warmest, most reflective thoughts. Fill it with soul and find comfort in knowing that your mind and the words which are crafted from it can be your weapon of defense against that silent and monotonous state.”

The following paragraphs are from one piece structured by a great friend whose inspiration is his current state.

REPOST

Right in the middle of nowhere, you see yourself standing in the middle of all the lies in the world; lies that include those you created. In that instant, you know how badly you f*cked up your whole life because of the fact that you wanted to feel “happy” even just for a moment that you had to deny the fact that you know it won’t last. And now, you just want out. Come to think of it, you made this mess, you gotta learn how to fix it. Life is too short to be regreting all of the mistakes you made in the past. But instead, try to learn from it and make use of all the time that you have to start all over again without stumbling on the same rock that you stumbled upon.

Run away, scream your lungs out, blow off all the steam; enjoy the little things, but never settle for that short instant. Like a pit stop, you never go out and be still; you gotta ride the bus again and continue your journey. In reality, you gotta know how to ride the wave of life. Never stop, and just keep moving forward. And here’s the funny thing, when your momentum is running really smooth, there’s that bitch that would smack you right outta the open; life. That’s where you try to be steady.

Eventually, you would realize sooner or later that all those 3am calls and long hours of texting was just a week’s worth of fantasy love stories and dramas. The truth is, not all of us get to have that happy ending. It’s true. You might have a bitter sweet one or a mediocre kinda thing. But come to think of it, you just gotta know who you wanna struggle with for the rest of your miserable life.

I want to find my assurance in you, that in every time you see me drenched by the stimulus of alcohols, we’d sit at the rear seats of a cab on a monotonous moment when raindrops glide to the window sills. You’d not take advantage of the moment for greedy intentions; rather, you’d use every bit of it for your hands to run through the strands of my hair and finally lay my head on your shoulder.
