:: * when one succumbs to darkness * ::

more than 30 lives perished.

he said, "I died like Jesus Christ." no, you didn't. He died for us. You died for yourself.

God, bless the souls of those who suffered.

:: * The Land of Smiles* ::

I'm on the third day of my Thai Escapade and I must say that it has been really fun. =)

My Mom's busy working on her conference, so I'm alone for the most part and I'm not complaining. I love all the "me" time I'm getting.

The pool here is to die for. Sure, I've seen better pools but the water in the pool is great. It isn't sticky. It's not a tub full of chlorine. It's warm. I love it.

So far, I've done the following things:

1. Yoga

I did this this morning. It was my first time. I didn't expect it to be that tiring. After the session was over I was dripping with sweat (mayber because of the heat..but anyhoo..). It was super fun, though. I loved the instructor. Her name is Simona Granata and she's Italian! I love her skin color. It's kinda honey meets olive. I love it. She was so nice. We talked for a while (because I arrived 15 minutes early) and I found out that she has been travelling around the world. The Six Senses Spa (the company that manages this place: Evason) sends her around the world (mostly in Asian countries) to teach Yoga, Breathing (the proper way), and Anatomy (to the massage therapists at the spa). I really enjoyed Yoga and I must look for a Yoga place in Alabang or BF.

2. Ear Candling

A lot of people aren't aware of what ear candling is. For those of you who don't know, it's a method that used beeswax to completely clean the ears. Meaning, all the ear wax and other "gunk" inside your ears will be taken out. It sounds gross but it wasn't. It was quite relaxing becuase they gave me a scalp and facial massage...and I love that. The therapist even let me smell a lavander scent that immediately calmed me down. So, how much wax did I have? Not a lot actually. I'm addicted to cleaning my ears so that isn't a surprise. By the way, this was my first time to experience ear candling.

3. Archery

I am officially an archer. Not only because I will be studying in DLSU (the home of the Green Archers) but also because I actually tried the sport. I enjoyed it a lot! I must say that I wasn't bad. My instructor even told me that I could be an "archery expert!" Haha! Cool, right? Again, this is a first for me.

4. Swimming

Unlike the first three things, this isn't a first. Haha. How can I not swim? The beach is right there and so is the pool. I love it. =)

Before I arrived here, I expected a lot of Asians and a few Caucasians. To my surprise (and delight!) I was the only Filipina hanging out in the pool and other areas of the resort and all the rest are Europeans. Yes, Europeans. I love it. Everyone around me is talking in some foreign language that I do not comprehend. There are times when I go, "Am I in Thailand or the French Riviera??"

As much as I am enjoying my stay here, I cannot help but miss those back home. I miss my friends!!! I miss my Dad and brothers!! I miss mama! I miss DSL! I miss SKOODAH! I miss it all....I'll be back soon...=)

By the way, I'm not in Bangkok. I'm in Pranburi, about 230 kilometers south of Bangkok.

Ciao!!!! =)

:: *deniaL* ::

when does one let go?

as much as one would love to hold on forever, spend every moment waiting...hoping. one wouldn't. one isn't stupid.

if life and all its circumstances are telling you to give up...give up.

if all the signs point to nothing...stop holding on.

if what you've been holding on to decides to show you that you should let go...you better do so.

don't be stupid. don't be naive. you deserve much better than this. you've been through enough.

*********

IN THE OTHER PART OF MY BRAIN:

oh my gosh. it just sunk it. we graduated. high school is over. i know it's been days...but it just sunk in NOW. i cannot believe it.

someone hug me before i drown from all my tears. geez.

:: *bid farewell to my brain cells* ::

thanks to Don Enrique (not sure if this is the one) about 90% of my brain cells have died.

simple story-telling turned into a difficult process that i don't ever want to do again.

i thought that april 20 came after april 22.

i was wondering why the volume went up when i thought i was pressing the volume down button. it turned out that i was actually pressing the volume up button. i struggled with this for an hour or so.

i can't remember the e-mail i use for Friendster. i seriously can't. i tried a zillion possible e-mail ads but nothing worked. i wrote the correct one down somewhere but i don't remember where. goodbye Friendster.

my spelling continues to die. i'm used to be a good speller but over these past few feeks my skills vanished. only i can spell download like this: downlowd. i hate it. you--the one reading this--don't know how many times i re-typed words because they were misspelled.

kill me now. pray for my brain cells to come back to life.

RANDOM THING I LEARNED TODAY: There is a Europe style keyboard. The punctuation marks are located in different places. Weird. I want to go to Europe.
