Extraordinary

I never thought I'd be in love like this... Never even in my dreams that I imagined all these things to happen to us..

 We met, became good friends, became strangers at some point.. but our story didn't stop there. Trails of things just radically changed... we became closer, deepened the friendship that we have,  til the moment that we first kissed, and now we’re dating. I can't label the kind of relationship we have now. All I know is that our hearts share one commonality.. and that is.. we love each other. My life just changed when I realized I'm already in love with you. Changes I'm truly happy that I've experienced. My feelings for you become deeper with each passing day. You're the one I want to spend the rest of my life with.  You are not my boyfriend yet but honestly, I love you more than a girlfriend could love her boyfriend. What we have now is beautiful. I don't want this feeling to end. I'm in love. I'm happy. I'm blessed. I'll be forever grateful. The reason why I'm feeling all these...is you. Thank you for making my days just that much better. Just thank you. I like you isn't the phrase that I must use to end this.. it must be I love you... all the angels in the heaven know this. I hope that one day we can take this relationship to the next level. I'm praying.

July Photo diary

July has been extra-special and I feel so blessed. Crazy adventures, happiness, good vibes, milk tea hang-outs, random movie dates, laughs w friends. Too many good things just happened for this month and I'm with high-hopes that August would be as fun or better yet would be way cooler than July! August is my birthday month(just a trivia hehe!)   Now August, August will be a different story. I hope I am mentally, physically, emotionally, and spiritually prepared for anything life will throw at me this coming month. Bring it on.

Take a peek of different snapshots I got for this month:

Bataan bound.

Haven't seen these very awesome cousins for almost half a decade. Spent the whole weekend with them. Endless stories and happy bondings. Happy vibes! 

Book of the month. 

Looking forward to learnings about life, love, relationship and His words.  

  Went to mall, spotted this mustard heart-printed cardigan & cute cozy top. Minutes ago, I caught myself at the cashier  almost already done purchasing these stuffs! haha I'm a sucker of anything heart-printed, just for you to know! :DD

The hanging bridge inside Caleruega. Nothing too special 'bout this bridge, just like to take a photo of it:DD (PhotoG wannabe spirit comes alive again! haha)

So this is "the" guy. He's vain like that, putting face mask every night before hitting the sack. Now I'm confused why I like him HAHAHA kidding:DD So the story behind this photo is... On a random day, I gave him a pack of facial mask to relax his pimple-full(omg sorry for the term) face but it turned out I just made his pimple problem worse because he told me that after he used the mask he gained another pimple-colony (i'm exaggerating in this part haha, he just had another one:DD) -________________-

The first time my eyes laid on this cupcake necklace I instantly fell in-love with it. Had to buy it right away.

The Chapel

Hands down. Very nice chapel. Perfect for exchanging wedding vows.

I've been dreaming of visiting Caleruega ever since high school and I thank God for His kindness cause He paved the way for me to be able to set my feet on the grounds of one of the places in my "visit-these-places-before-I-die list!" Caleruega-checked!:D And could you guess what made that day 100x special? I was with the guy my heart desires:')) Dream come trueee. Perfect place w the closest  person to your heart. Couldn't ask for more!!  I love Caleruega but I love more the guy who's with me in the photo above. (insert kilig face here) hehe ♥♥♥

Weird plant

Sorry but I don't know what's this plant. Was just amazed by it's uniqueness so I wasn't able to resist the urge to take a one "click" to it.

Random milk tea day with Nikki.

Why captioned the photo with that word? simply because we excel in everything we do! hahaha kidding:DD

Sweet scribbles actually:') ♥

Attached to his morning treats are these hand-written messages.

Sweet guy, very lucky me!

I like taking shots of my feet and I don't kno why and I don't have time to figure out why so moving on.... I'm currently into this pair of orange flats. So comfy and the color's very refreshing to my eyes. Orange and tan is a perfect color combo!:D

Photo via Clarissa! haha 

That was the day when we watched one of  Cinemalaya's entry, "Oros" at TriNoma. We were with my bully high school best friends:)

Braved the streets of Chinatown with two of the most awesome people I know. Love them both to bits.

DAPT - Draw A Person Test - Mini Me

Our class photo during our Org's Assembly last July14. Been with these awesome people for almost four years now. Great minds, young souls. Good luck to us to our future endeavors.

Do you have any August wishes? :)

Brewing some love ♡

I’ve been praying for this thing to happen ever since I had my first heartbreak years ago, been praying to God for Him to give me a man who has a pure heart and will accept, love and respect me for who I am. Answered prayer, I should say! I couldn’t put into words how grateful I am for all the blessings I had received and still receiving this year. I owe everything to God. Still praying to Him to give us the guidance and blessing for this brewing love we have for each other. I’m leaving everything to God, may His will be done. At this moment, I’m already thankful for what God had gave me, this feeling of being loved by someone you love is just priceless:’)

You can't hurry love.

When you think about love, the next thing that comes into your mind is  your boyfriend(if you have one) or having a boyfriend(if you're single). Every girl dreams of meeting that someone who will sweep them off their feet and live a life like those in fairy tales. During my high school days, most of the girls in my batch and in the lower years  had boyfriends at an early age. I thought that I would be like them and every single day I thought of who among the sea of guys will capture my heart. Well, I have fallen in love with someone but I guess cupid wasn't successful in pairing us up.

Years passed, now I'm 19 and ample time from now I'll be leaving college and... I still don’t have a boyfriend. And you know what? I don’t feel bothered about it. I’m happy, I swear. Being single opens doors to possibilities and opportunities. You get to meet lots of people, realize things in your life, do the things you want, and simply enjoying everything life has to offer. Thinking about all these, I realized that I do have a love story; not with a guy but with myself. Being single made me a stronger person, paved the way for me to become closer to my family and friends, made me appreciate the things around me and helped me built a better, deeper relationship with God.  I got to know myself better and explore stuff beyond my comfort zone. All these things led me to loving myself which is the first thing that everyone has to learn before getting into a relationship. Treasure your family, friends, education, talents, hobbies, and other things you love because they're the ones that'll help you in your search for  joy in your life.  Falling in love and being in a relationship is not just a matter of loving and taking good care of each other but having someone to share your blessings, endeavors and happiness with.

When I got comments like: "Hey! You’re pretty. Why don’t you have a boyfriend?”, “You have a great personality! Why don’t you have a boyfriend?” , "You're already 19 why don't you have a boyfriend yet?"  or "Everyone in your group has their guy, mind finding one for yourself too?" I feel kinda irritated. If you’re pretty or have a great personality, it doesn’t mean you automatically have to have a boyfriend.  The reasons are far beyond looks and personality. Don't get me wrong, ladies I ain't declaring I'm pretty haha. I ain't pretty nor ugly. God just made me unique, gave me cute eyes(this is my blog, I care the least if you'll agree or what haha), really short legs, frizzy hair(I'm fine with it, got no choice but to love it anyway), puffy cheeks. I love myself, with it's flaws and all. Nobody's perfect anyway and I'm a living proof of it.

So going back, I don’t want to rush into things because I know there’s a right time for every single thing to happen. I believe that you need to wait for the right time and right person to come along. I want somebody to love me, for who I am, not for how I look or anything else. I want someone to respect me like how I respect others. I want someone to treat me how I deserve to be treated. I want someone who'll love me despite of my many flaws. Someone who is willing to bear all my craziness and weirdness. What I’m doing now is enjoying the present and not chasing after love. I will embrace the mystery of the future and will let love find its way to meet me at the right place and at the right time. I'm leaving everything to God. Lifting all my thoughts to Him. May all His will be done.

God bless, lovelies!
