Love is...

Love is patient, love is kind.
It does not envy, it does not boast,
it is not proud.
It is not rude, it is not self-seeking,
it is not easily angered,
it keeps no record of wrongs.
Love does not delight in evil
but rejoices with the truth.
It always protects, always trusts,
always hopes, always perseveres.
Love never fails.

- The Bible : 1 Corinthians 13:4 -

Regrets... I Had a Few

My Regrets:

1. When I was a child, I did not cry the moment I was hurt. I waited for the time to sleep and I would cry myself to sleep.

2. I wasted a lot of money.

3. I grew up to be a woman of steel.

4. Losing my mother very early.

5. Didn't take Law School seriously.

6. Did not pursue drawing, painting and designing.

7. I did not become a model.. (hahaha)

8. Did not take relationships seriously and I am not so friendly.

9. I cannot take laziness out of my system... zzzzzzz...

10. I slept most of my life..

Some are too late to correct... For the others, there is still hope.

Otherwise, they would still be in my list of regrets few years from now.

We will see.

A Day to Relax..

The one who cooks for us at home has a daughter. Her name is Camille. She is like an "ampon" to us, since Me Ann and I are not inclined to marry and have kids (for now..). Anyway, since Camille did not join her classmates in their field trip at enchanted, her Mama opted to bring her to Trinoma instead. Particularly at Timezone.

So, there I was, killing time before watching Sam Milby's concert... Nakijoin sa Timezone! Hahaha.. Surprisingly, naaliw ako. I felt like a kid again. But the best part of it was that Camille really enjoyed. She made me promise that we will be back there some time soon! Of course I promised.

Then off to the concert. The concert is entitled "Powerboys" featuring Richard Poon and Sam Milby. I like Richard Poon. I always visit his multiply account. But because Sam is highly anticipated, medyo nawala ang focus ko sa kanya. hahah

As expected, I enjoyed Sam's singing and well yeah, his face.

Sam Milby singing...

Nakatalikod na, cute pa din...

Isn't he good looking? ohwwww

Til next time Sam...

A Mall Lover... or used to be?

If there is one thing common between my mom and me is that we both love going to the mall. I think during her lifetime, most of the times we spent together are spent at the malls than our own house. I remember when I was younger, I would go to malls at the opening hour, 10am - and would go home at its closing, 9pm. Am I a mall addict or what.

But anyway, lately, I noticed that I cannot stand long hours loitering in SM North EDSA or in Trinoma. Actually, my heart and mind would want to. But my body, especially my legs give up. I don't know, maybe because of age. Or maybe because of the hard times, that I also do not enjoy looking at things to buy when I don't have enough money to buy all of them. Before, I used to charge it to my mom. Hahaha.. Now, I have to pay on my own.

Mall gives me joy and sadness. Joy because I see a lot of good stuff. When I was able to buy them, I am happy. It also gives me sadness, because they give me a clear picture of people's standard of living. They reveal before my very eyes, the disparity of the poor and the rich in the society. Cheap or expensive, no brand or branded, low end or high end, commuters or with private vehicles.

One time, I laughed when I noticed that there are some entrances and exits in Trinoma wherein you'll know that only the rich pass through them. Guards are relaxed because very few people come in and out of those doors. In other areas, guards are always alert because no time to relax, "buhos ang tao".

But I don't know, there is that certain fondness in me on malls that I cannot explain, most of the time, it gives me joy. To top it all, malls eases my longing for my mom. I feel close to her when I am at one of those.
