20

20 months of independence and liberation. It was more than enough to have a significant realization of reality, a true reality. I don’t know if there is such thing about true reality, it seems too redundant but sometimes people, especially me for instance, are too blinded for what’s true from a reality which is a product of one’s mind.

20 months of self-deprecating for every pain that I caused anyone. I am guilty. I know that I have to suffer since day 1. I didn’t complain. I just have to go through to what seems to be a never ending maze. But it did end.

Happy 20^th month for me. It will be a better beginning. 

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

LINEAR

I am supposedly taking a break from blogging because I am planning to make this a travel journal and my next major trip will be in August-keeping my fingers crossed. Lately, I have been thinking a lot about relationship and trust me, its the last thing I want to talk about. Since the age of the new "me", I try to be oblivious about almost everything around me except my work of course.

But I have been cursed with the ability to absorb someone else's emotion. Especially those coming from someone close to me - like a friend. So here we go, this is something about love.

What is it with love, something so pure and innocent, expires easily when familiarity and routinary added to the equation. Does it has to be that linear? As simple as y=mx + b? As predictable as replacing variables with certain value and you get love or zero love? If you agree that the aproach of love must not be complicated, as most people anticipate it would be, like the simpliest linear equation that you can find, then why do people messed up? Come on! Love is and always be the exception of the rule, in all cases. Love is constant, not a variable. Whatever you put in the equation and however you want it to run, it will always and should always be equals to love, right?

There is that big misconception about love. It is not love when you start thinking about taking a break or time off from it. It is not love when you can lie from or for it. It is not love when you cant find it in yourself to appreciate it. It is not love when you put it in the same paper of your shopping list. It is not love when you cant prioritize it. And the list goes on. So what is it called then if it is not love? Because frankly we need another word for "almost love". If it is not love then its bullshiting.

So tell me, when can we say love is love? But, is it part of being human to experience the thrill of chasing the so called pure and innocent love? How many of us found it before dying?

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.
