Scribbled Letters for W #001:

Don’t you dare think I’ve been in love with the concept. I’ve loved you, not the idea of you. I’ve never been more certain over anything; I’ve loved you and don’t you dare fucking pity me because I feel proud. I feel proud of having loved you, I feel proud of having been a part of your life, I feel proud of having experienced this and if I have loved you passionately and truly, it is because you caused it in me. You made it possible. And most of all, I have loved you in terms of loving you without hope, without expectation, without any desire for this to be any other way than what it precisely is. Our moments have been all; our moments have been enough. And I’ve been self-aware enough as to accept all the raw pain which comes with this realization; I never settled for nothing but the real thing and you are the real thing. It’s been fantastic, love, loving you. It’s been exquisite and special. It’s been scary and crazy but it’s been whole. And I love you for that: I love you for never making me question for a moment the fact that I love you and not my own feelings for you. Almost everything seems like a fatal illusion; reality forces you to sooner or later mentally dismantle your own way of loving and once the illusion’s been destroyed you’re left with some blank state of numbness which you willfully misinterpret as “heartache”. It’s not been like that with you, this is a certainty of mine and I mistrust all certainties regarding feelings and how they change and how they overall consume and devour one’s soul, but yeah, this is my only certainty. I have loved you with my heart

TRAVEL ADVENTURES : BORACAY - MANILA ESCAPADE (2014)

Who doesn’t want to go in a vacation? I’m sure no one does. Go as many places as you can. You can always make money but you can’t always make memories. Adventures are the best way to learn.

When we were in Boracay we went (I was with my dad at that time) :

Parasailing - While we were at the top, I feel like I was going to fall and at the same time drown. Fact : I don’t know how to swim. How I wish I took swimming lessons. (Maybe I should enroll now, It’s not too late right?)

Helmet Diving - I was scared that there might be sharks. Yes. I’m afraid of sharks, who doesn’t? I’m too young to die.

Banana Boat Riding - I almost fell off, I was trying to stand-up while it was running.

Restaurant Hopping - Expensive. I tell you, but everything was worth it and delicious so no regrets at all.

Shopping - There’s this shop in Boracay which I really love, they sell accessories and stuffs and they were really gorgeous.

After 4 days we went straight to the airport because we need to go to Manila the next day. When we arrived in Manila, we went straight to Camp Aguinaldo (If I remember correctly, that’s because my dad is a soldier.)

Moving on, the next day we went to :

Manila Ocean Park - It was amazing, saw a lot of fish and discovered some new ones that I’ve never seen before.

SM Mall Of Asia - Shopping shopping shopping that’s all I did. 

Those unforgettable moments.  How I wish I can turn back time, I miss going to Boracay and Manila. Ugh. I need to start saving money right now and maybe, just maybe I can go back to Boracay next year with my hubby and our little princess. I should start looking some affordable/promo tickets in Cebu Pacific’s site.

20 years old. (I can’t believe I’m so old) No longer a teen, no more being a “drama queen”. No longer can I blame mistakes on being a “dumb teen”. But don’t worry at 20 years, there’s many more to be seen. Twenty’s the time for my true colors to shine, for twenty years I’ve watched myself learn and grow. I’ve been through ups and downs and things that made me run and hide. I can’t believe how fast these twenty years have flown. 

People might expect me to be all grown up now that I’m twenty. But don’t worry, fun’s not done, there’s still time for plenty. I might run into problems that arise so suddenly, the shenanigans I’ll find myself getting into might take me by surprise. Some of the crazy things I’ll experience now might seen awful - but they will make me a better person somehow. The amazing memories I have from the two decades are flying by in my mind like a bunch of long parades. From an infant to a child and then a teen, now an adult. I won’t let anything stop me or block my way.🎂🎉2️⃣0️⃣🎈🎊

If I had all the time in the world to write how grateful I am to have you in my life, a hundred pages of book will certainly not be enough. I just want you to know that you are the reason why I breathe each day and the reason why this life is meaningful to me. 

From the first moment we laid our eyes on you, you have made us believe that indeed, miracles do happen. To us, you are more precious than all the diamonds in the world. No one can ever put a price tag on the love that we have for you. As parents, all we want is for you to grow and become a better person each day. May you touch the life of so many people and be an inspiration and a blessing to them, the way you are to us.

I was 18 when I got pregnant and had my daughter. I was lost, confused and don’t know what to do. Yes, I was young, it wasn’t the right time and it’s going to be hard for me but thank God, everything worked out well. My parents, well, like any other parents, they were angry at first until they accepted it. “ Yes, i am a young mother. No, that does not mean I am any less of a parent. It means I wont be ancient when they graduate. I am younger, prettier, more fun and just way cooler than you. ” 
She is now a year and 4 months old, breastfed and well taken care of. She’s healthy, smart, loving and sweet. Being a young mom means that we met a little early, but it also, means I get to love you a little longer. Some people said that my life ended when I had a baby but my life had just began. You didn’t take away my future, you gave me a new one. Walking unaided, Standing without any help from us, Pointing to objects of her interest, Speaking two recognizable words, Deliberately dropping toys and looking for them are just a few of her achievements in her one-year-old mark.

Hey there Tumblr. We meet again. After all these months of abandoning you, well, I’m back again. Many things have happened to me this year 2015, full of surprises and mixed emotions. 

Until now, I'm still asking myself why are these things happening to me but then I realize that everything happens for a reason and with God nothing is impossible.

18 years of age is definitely a milestone in my life - it's the start of my adulthood. But if i think that's a bummer because it is also the start of taking on serious things in life. It's also the beginning of many wonderful and amazing things in life. My life is just starting to unfold. 

Its been 7months since my 18th birthday. Being 18 is hard. Why? There are so many expectations that you need to deal with. One little mistake would ruin everything. 'Perfectionism' is one of the things i'm dealing with right now. No one is perfect, only God is perfect - we all know that. Mistakes are part of life, there's nothing wrong about it, it's where we learned something. Right now, I'm doing my best even though my best is not enough. :)
