Mga panahong thesis at layouting lang ang problema ko. Pak! 😂

[superjosette]

I will!

I rather be alone than be with someone who doesn’t see me as a priority.

You're my wonderwall. 💘

If only you knew.

HIM: “Okay ka lang ba?” ME: “Oo naman.”  INNER ME: Hindi ako okay. Sana alam mo yan. Ikaw kasi.

HIM: “Galit ka ba sakin?” ME: “Hindi ako galit baliw.” INNER ME: Oo galit ako sayo. Sana alam mo. Sinaktan mo kaya ako. 

HIM: “Bat naiilang ka?” ME: “Di ako naiilang no.” INNER ME: E kasi ang manhid mo. Mahal kita gago.

HIM: “Bat di mo ko kinakausap?” ME: “Tahimik lang talaga ko *sarcastic*”  INNER ME: Baka kasi pag nagsalita ako, masabi ko yung nararamdaman ko at mga hinanakit ko na bakit hindi nalang kasi ako, friend. :(

Gaano kahirap magmahal ng kaibigan

Ang hirap magmahal ng kaibigan, in a sense na more than friends yung pagtingin mo sa kanya pero sya hanggang kaibigan lang pala.

Awkward Ang awkward para sayo na kausapin sya o gumalaw pag nandyan sya pero sya walang kaalam-alam na kinikilig ka na pala nang sobra.

What if Pinipigilan mong sabihin na mahal mo ang kaibigan mo kasi ayaw mong masira ang lahat.  E paano kung ganun din pala yung iniisip nya? Mananatili na lang ba kayong magkaibigan kahit mahal nyo pala ang isa’t-isa?

Where have you been? May mga moment gustong-gusto mo sya kasama pero lagi syang busy sa ibang bagay. Hindi mo naman pwede sabihin na wag ka na umalis, gusto kita kasama, ayoko ko nang nalalayo ka sakin. Bakit? KAIBIGAN KA LANG.

Tropa Eto ang pinakamahirap, pag ka-tropa mo sya. Yung tipong namamatyagan mo ang bawat galaw nya at ang masakit pa dun, malalaman mo kung may gusto syang iba. Ikaw, tahimik lang kasi wala ka namang karapatan kasi kaibigan ka nga lang.

To end it all, hindi naman masama na mahalin mo nang more than friends ang kaibigan mo, dapat lang alam mo ang limits mo. Matuto ka rin kumontrol ng nararamdaman mo. Pero kung matapang ka at handa kang i-risk ang lahat, as well as friendship mo, go! Malay mo naman, worth it lahat ng gagawin mo.

Never thought I posted something about “Friendzone” two years ago. I can’t believe I am the one who needs this advice now. Thanks, self.

I almost wish we never met.

I know this is very rude for me to say that once in my life, I almost wish we never met. We are good friends and I treasure all the memories we had and I will definitely treasure memories we will create soon. 

I never intended to fall in love with you. You were basically a close friend to me since high school days. In fact, I consider you my confidant back then until the moment I fell for you. But the only secret I can’t tell you is what I’m feeling right now. 

We have been friends for a very long time already and I find it hard to confess my feelings for you. I don’t want to break our friendship and make things complicated. 

It started when we used to hangout somewhere, with just the two of us. It was just friendly hang out. But with those hang outs, I started falling in love with you. We talked about random things and never in my life I became so comfortable to share my stories to anyone but you. 

Reality hit me too hard when I heard you’re in a relationship with a new girl. I thought things between us were getting better. It was a real heart break for me even there was no “us”. It’s because I held on to something that was not there. I believe we have this mutual feelings. But I was wrong.

All the people around us thought there was something between us. And it was a hard thing explaining why you have this “new girl” and not “us”. It breaks my heart more.

Months past and I heard you are not together anymore. I should not care right? But why do I keep telling myself, what if this is the chance? Maybe God is working on our love story now. But some part of me tell myself to shut the fck up, idiot. Stop making yourself hope for something that won’t ever happen. You are just friends. Just. Friends. 

When you had your girl, we stopped talking. But there was this time we hanged out with the gang together. I thought I’ve moved on to something not definite. I was wrong again. The first time our eyes met after months of not talking and seeing each other, I felt something again. Something I haven’t felt for a long time. It was also awkward for me to have a conversation with you. I don’t know why but I think bringing back our closeness will be hard for me because I might misunderstood everything again. And I am scared that things may repeat again. And I don’t want my heart broken again by the same person who broke it long time ago. 

Honestly, my heart is still on its healing process. But after seeing you again, I don’t know if my poor heart was totally healed or totally broken again. I will confess soon. When I can already handle the pain if you choose us to be “just friends”. 

For now, I just thank God for the friendship we have. Let’s put everything to God’s hand. He has a better plan.

Social Media has been a mainstream for people nowadays. One of the most popular applications that netizens already downloaded in their smart phones is the Instagram, a photo-sharing app. Instagram has been ruling since 2010 and until now, people are still into it. Back then, this app was used to share instant photos of the important moments and people actually didn't care about their feeds at all. Now, putting some artsy feels in their Instagram feeds is definitely a goal, which includes real effort and planning.

Instagram Feed is the first thing people will see when they visit your profile. It will give them the impression what your Instagram aesthetic is all about. To this, the hashtag #FeedGoals has been included in the trending world of social media and became a common word for Instagram users. It is when you have been organizing everything in your IG feed, resulting to an artsy vibes.

How to achieve #FeedGoals on Instagram?

1. CHOOSE A THEME

Choosing a theme for you feed is definitely the first thing you need to think about. This is where your timeline will revolve and needs to be thought very carefully, because starting your feed with another theme will probably destroy your feeds artiness. Famous themes are nature, faded photos, etc.

2. KEEP CONSISTENCY

Consistency is the key! There are feeds that stick to one theme all throughout their profile. Some choose to upload photos with different theme per row (3 photos each).

In the case of my feed, I chose to have different theme per row. Let me show you:

3. LOOK TO YOUR FEED AS WHOLE You should not focus only on a photo when uploading. You should also look if the photo you will upload will suit the genre of the previous ones. This will maintain the consistency of your feed. This will lead to the next tip:

4. ALWAYS PUT EFFORT WHEN PLANNING Uploading now is totally different from uploading back then. You should always plan what will your next photo look like. Will it fit the theme? Will it be appropriate with the flow of your feed? Is it going to maintain the consistency of your feed? These are the questions you should answer before adding a new photo in your feed. Yeah, it seems a bit hard, but it will let you achieve the #FeedGoals you've been aiming for. 5. LASTLY, HAVE A GREAT GADGET COMPANION Achieving #FeedGoals wouldn't be possible if you don't have the right gadget that will give you the kind of photos you want to capture. Let me share you a secret to make it easier for you to achieve your #FeedGoals. Own an OPPO's F1s.

Why choose OPPO F1s? With its 16-MP front camera and 13-MP rear camera, taking photos will basically be easier for you since its capturing ability is totally captivating. Capturing photos at night will also not be a big problem because OPPO F1s was built with 1/3.06-inch sensor that maximizes light sensitivity, making wonderful nighttime performance. You can still take a shot of those "Instagramable" subjects even at night. Furthermore, this smart phone has a host of plug-ins and filters that will give you endless opportunity to take creative, shareable photos, making it easier to maintain your feed.

Now that I have given you the secret of how to achieve #FeedGoals on your Instagram, let the uploading begin! 

Thanks for reading. Share for others to know the secrets of achieving #FeedGoals!

"Bared to You" Review: Another BDSM Story

Thank God I finished a book again after a loooooooooong time. My friend lent me her book. At first I was hesitant to read it, thought it'll be boring because it was some kind of another Fifty Shades themed novel. But it hooked me once again. Yes, another BDSM hooked me. Honestly, I think it's patterned with Fifty Shades Trilogy. They almost have the same plot, just a bit of different details. Just like Christian and Anna changed their names into these new characters. (kidding :D)

The start of the story was basically not that fascinating to readers, in a way that it can make you shut the book and never read it again. But because I got the guts to finish it, I got the chance to reach the good parts. 

There were lots of cliche scenes inside that you can actually read in other books. Let me give an example (oooooopssss spoiler alert!), the moment Eva and Gideon, the main characters, met. Girl-fell-boy-helped-her kind of scene. Apparently a typical first-meet scenario. Well, there are some things how it differs from Fifty Shades of Grey. The ending. In FSOG, Anna and Christian departed in the end while in this novel, Eva and Gideon travelled away together. Apart from that, Fifty Shades’ second book is still about the main characters but Bared To You’s sequel will tackle another story, that is also related to the first book but with other characters. To end this review, I wanted to tell you that this story isn’t a cliff-hanger at all. (Woooo! Thank God!) And I suggest this one to those who love adult-romance kind of books, or BDSM themed novels. Definitely NSFW! :D

Just a little jab at the state of our world in 2016. I know a lot of good things happened too… but I think this year has also been unfortunate in a lot of ways. Hoping for a better 2017 coming our way! ^^
