Sometimes awful things happen and we don’t get to know why. (at Batu Bolong Beach)

Last Day of 2017

The year started gleaming with joy & love from the old and new faces I’ve come across. Faces you’ve known ever since or it may be someone I’ve just had a beer with by the beach. It was the year of spontaneity, some travels were unplanned & to some that I didn’t even had the chance to get on board. Those awkward small talks I have to overcome just to make conversations while traveling alone, some of it where just quick hi’s and goodbyes and when you’re lucky the best thing you can get out of it are those budding friendship that surprises you. It was a time to finally make our dreams come to fruition. It was our dream to be collaborating with each other, those countless initiations and frustrations all conveniently worked out at last. And oh how can i forget, this year was a hell of an emotional battleground. I have felt all of the love and every tiny bit of its heart ache. But all of this is incomparable to the joy, excitement and all of the anxiety for what’s in store for me tomorrow and the days after that. The greatest blessing is what’s cooking up in my belly. I can’t wait to show her the world and be the best version of myself. Life surprises you in one way or another, in this world of countless adversaries you need to be resilient. Always find good in people, always be kind. Things might not go your way all the time and it’s okay, reasons might not always be that sensible but you’ll live through it. Every year is a great story to tell and my 2017 is one hell of a story. ❤️

11.26.14 Chvrches playing live & learning how to drive a stick shift

A friend of mine once told me that he never believed in anyone who’s in his thirties who says he’s contented. If by any chance, he’s saying it with pure conviction then he is probably convincing himself that he is.

I guess that’s true, I mean, I can’t imagine myself to be contented anytime soon. Contentment influence happiness. They say happiness is a choice, it’s a state of being, it’s what every one wants in life. But don’t you think every time you feel ecstatic you always have another experience to top it all off? Again and again and obviously it’s a never-ending cycle. I don’t think you’ll ever want to reach that maximum point of happiness. If you ever do, it might diminish those little joys that made you and life would be less of an adventure.

Contentment might be too complex for other people. They want it so bad that they almost never reach a level of satisfaction because they always have that strong need to acquire more than what they already have. Contentment has its way of how we perceive it. It’s not just about what you have or what situation in life you’re in, sometimes we need to accept the fact that as humans we try to improve our lives no matter how happy we are and if we don’t, we have given up on life.

I could never make lists of what would make me contented, I’m not even sure if I ever reach those moments in my life I would be in such great content. I guess, from here on out, taking time to appreciate what I have, where I am and who I’m with might give me those little ounces of contentment which I can all squish into my imaginary “contentment jar” until it all burst up with happiness.

Soon enough.

02.25.15 Beers, Cheetos and a Crying Girl in My Apartment

This time, it wasn’t me hurting, it wasn’t me crying about the love that I’ve lost. But it was me who tried to made sense out of someone to think for herself and her road to self-discovery.

Each one of us has their own stories to tell. A story of loss, heartbreaks and tragedies like songs summed up in one long depressing playlist. From these stories, it struck me that love has its vast capabilities to be the person that we are now. It is by love that we learn to accept and it is by love that we learn to let go. Regardless how crazy it maybe it is because of love we turn into someone we never wanted to be.

I, for one, had it worst. But, I won’t spare you the details of my boring life.

Sometimes we just need to change how we perceive love. You have to find love in everybody, you have to find love in all the distress. You have to find love in every possible way you can imagine.

And maybe just maybe with a little tinge of hope, love is waiting to be found.
