BLEEDING

Just because I am tough doesn't mean I won't bleed.
Just because I smile doesn't mean I won't get mad.
Just because I forgive does't mean I won't remember.
Just because I am far doesn't mean I won't listen.

Just because you have money doesn't mean you can buy.
Just because you have everything doesn't mean you have what you need.
Just because you know how to pray doesn't mean you can decieve God.
Just because you are on top doesnt mean you won't fall.

Just because I bleed doesn't mean I am weak.
Just because I cry doesn't mean I am brittle.
Just because I am nice doesn't mean I am dumb.
Just because I bleed doesnt mean I am human.

Just because you know me doesn't mean you can sing my song.
Just because you know me doesnt mean you really know me.
Just because you know me doesn't mean you are a friend.
Just because you know me doesn't mean you bleed.

Just because I am who I am doesn't mean I can be who I am.

CAR SHOW AT THE FORT

Dec. 5, 2010 -  Bonifacio Global City Grounds. This was totally accident. I was planning to head out and check out Mercato Centrale for much needed healthy food trip but instead I went to the other side of High Street and found this absolutely awesome car show. I should have went to the Nike side of the building. I'll check out Mercato Centrale this Saturday and thanks to Google Map, I found the exact location.

Here are some of the cars.

My heart stopped when I saw this. This is Nissan Xtrail, my favorite SUV.

And what do you think of this? Trust me it has an awesome interior and has air-condition. Pnoy much?

Watch out for Mercato Centrale post.

TO THE STREETS OF BGC

Dec. 5, 2010 - My flatmate and I decided to check Dimensione at Bonifacio High Street. We heard they are still running their 70% off sale on Addidas and other brands. But Dimensione is a home furnishing shop. So I was more excited on furniture than some sports apparel. I  am a huge Nike guy anyway. Poof! There are still on sale and my flatmate was all over it. 

I checked downstairs and immersed myself with the latest designs in home furnishing. Sofas, beds, kitchen wares, drawers and wine glasses. Plus a whole lotta more. You have to check out the shop at Bonifacio High Street Taguig City.

Check out this very cozy and posh living room furnishings. 

 

You will go gaga on their exquisite and artistic designs.

And this blew my mind. Who does these kind of designs? Outrageously painful in a very very good way. I fell in love with the set.

 

I am happy I found these Christmas gift ideas. Now I have something for my family and friends.

And more.

 

I found this chic mirror and it made me look quite cutter than I used to..LOL

And this wine rack rocked my world. Unbelievable. 

After Dimensione, my flatmate checked the Apple store and decided not to because not only it will give me frustrations but it will also breaks my heart. I lost my precious iTouch and I am dying to get an iPad but I hate looking at it until I can afford it. I sat and found a young couple, maybe it was their first date hence the void between them and the awkwardness of their conversation. I have no intention to eavesdrop but it was so tempting that I pretended not to hear anything..LOL

Check out my shots of Bonifacio High Street.

And someday I will live here.

While on high street, you have to check out MUJI, one stop shop for everything.

Check out these lovely hangers and towel rack.

So exhausted at the end of the day. I forgot about lunch. So I went to Cupcakes by Sonja for a needed sugar fix to get me to the other side of the BGC. Tokyo Tokyo at Market Market. It was a major major dinner dinner and lunch lunch. Ohhh sorry for the repetitive thing I was carried away from Tokyo Tokyo. LOL

 Sumo Remix!

This is how I spent my weekend in the streets of Manila.

ENGINEERS

No land area to compute, no benchmark to establish, stadia rod and engineer’s field work free, Grace, Apol and I had a luscious dinner at Chelsea at Serendra Global City with Ampeng and Harry. It was a typical catching-up dinner since we saw Grace like more than a year ago. We talked about almost everything, from work to flings, from every sale in Metro Manila Grace and I went, coffee, fur coats and not so good work related experiences.

I like being around with my friends in college because it reminds me why I love engineering in the first place.

Until the next spontaneous reunion with you guys. Hope Ariane, Jeffrey, Jonathan and Wilson could join us.

LETTER FOR NO ONE

I opted to write this letter since its still timely – perfect time I guess to say it all before it becomes stale and meaningless, and since I am still single.

First and foremost, we had a good relationship. Probably not the best and ideal but it was good. I thought crossing over from being bestfriends to romantic relationship is overrated.  It wasn’t the case for us. I realized it had so many perks that we totally talked and shared almost everything, from hidden thoughts, nasty secrets to killing someone. The level of comforts was enormous and sometimes scary, but most of the time it was our advantage.

Since I met you, my life changed in so many different ways. There was something about how you inspired me to do things I like. You brought back my love for architectures and maths. You encouraged me to expand my knowledge and discover new adventures. You let me be who I am because you leveled the comforts for me.

Every travel we had brings a lot of memories. Those were my favorite places in the country and I am glad I got you to be part of it. I have the best memories in life with you. Traveling alone again is probably one of the most painful aftermaths of our relationship. I was lucky enough to have revisited the places we’ve been, for me not to hate the place. It was part of my healing.

Amidst all the things happened, we held our grounds. Probably this is what I miss most about you, your sense of unfaltering trust, honesty and the way you comfort me. Things weren’t easy for us, distance and some people around me. If I didn’t say any apologies yet, let me take this post an opportunity to say sorry for all my shits, not that it matters now; I just want to clear everything.

Neither one of us want this. We compromised everything in the beginning and now we are sort of reaping it. Friendship isn’t a possibility or the thought of seeing each other once again. I won’t blame anyone, and probably this is the best thing. I know you are happy now with someone else and I honestly wish good things for both of you. I am happy knowing that you didn’t give up on love. That alone gives so much comfort to me.

I do not wish anything between us. I take life as it is. Maybe it was just that for us. Nothing more. We may never see each other again but you are always remembered. And I hope you do as well. I am happy now to have made this far, soon I will be leaving and take on to my next adventure. I will carry the things I learned from you an d make everything right this time around.

“There is something beautiful in goodbyes. The exquisite pain, the sadness, the void it leaves, and the recovery; the different colors that paint a dark yet wonderful picture. We long for them. And when the picture has faded, we wish to witness its beauty once more.”
