Lovin' the Red Gumamela

It's been a while again since i updated this blog. Been busy. Anyway, have I mentioned that red is one of my most favorite color? I can't really remember if i mentioned that small detail here. Brilliant and eye-catching red, that's what I like. So, while going on a particular road, I saw this red gumamela flowers that I just couldn't resist getting a snap of.  By the way this flower is also called hibiscus. Love it! What do you think?

Last Best Sunset of 2009

How did you spend the last day of 2009? I know this question might be kind of late already, but well, at least it's a chance to reflect. Anyway, if you will ask me, I had the chance to witness one of the most beautiful sunsets in my life. And it was one of the most memorable too:) I spent the New Year with my friends in an island...it's a great thing we near the sea that afternoon because we were able to see a great display of light during the last hours of 2009.

Here are some pictures.

Welcome Sandrine Raine!

We have a new addition to the family! Her name is Sandrine Raine, and she's sooo pretty! I'm not kidding. Well, i guess it runs in the family hehehe. My sister gave birth, through caesarian section last Dec 16. I had to come home earlier than what I planned because there wasn't anybody to assist them with errands and things at the hospital.

My new niece is so cute and pretty really. I think she takes after her mommy. Her big sister Althea is also very excited to have her. It's too bad she can't come near baby Nica (that's her nickname by the way, according to Thea) because she has a cold.

Here are some pictures of my new niece:)

Tired...

Lately, I just can't seem to muster much enthusiasm about anything. Everything that I do each day just seem so mechanical...like I'm a robot going through all the motions...my heart's not really in it. I may smile and laugh during the day but, after the lights go out my thoughts just come crowding in. Questions...so many whys...what ifs...what about...what's going to happen...all of these just keep resounding inside my head, unanswered because I don't have the answers.

Late at night, when i'm alone with my thoughts, I can't help but think about what I've really always wanted. Can't help questioning why we don't get what we really want in this life. In my heart of hearts, I don't think that what I've ever wanted was that hard, but why does it continue to elude me? To be constantly out of my reach? All I've ever really wanted was that one thing, but why is it so hard to find? I've prayed, I've waited, and prayed again but still nothing...I'm getting tired of waiting.

Jellyfish: The Rarely Seen Beauty Under the Sea

Have you ever seen a jellyfish up close? I have. I think it's one of the most beautiful creatures of the sea.

Take a look at these. These pictures were taken at the Ocean Park in Hong Kong when we went there last October.

Great Materials for Home and Office

I find myself thinking about a lot of things lately. I know what I need is a diversion to keep these thoughts at bay and maybe they will just go away. But what? Hmm, how about redecorating this room I’m living in now? Not much can be done about this room anymore. It’s just too bad because I found a site that provides an extensive array of products that can be used for home improvement. Logo mats are great stuffs for changing the look of a certain area, right? So, maybe it will make this room look better.

Stores, offices, and other establishments will find this very useful as well. If they have exhibits or trade shows coming up, they will find the trade show carpet very beneficial for giving their booth a cosy ambiance. Attractive materials are used in the trade show flooring and trade show carpet so, they will definitely add pizzazz to the place. And if the exhibit is located outside the building, the logo canopy will surely come in handy as well. A variety of styles and designs are available for people who need high-end materials for professional use and even for people, like me, who are looking for materials to be used in minor room improvements.

True Friendship Beyond Distance

One of my best friends left for abroad today. I won’t be seeing him for two years. I know some think that it’s not really too long but, I just can’t help feeling lost somehow. Ever since I came here in Manila, he’s been one of the people who’ve been like a constant companion. He's always there to listen to my woes and just about everything. He's very comfortable to be with because I could talk about almost anything with him. Last year was so much fun because we used to go to church together with our other closest friends Mandy and Jeni. And now, he’s gone away. It feels like I’ve lost a friend again. But I know that true friendship never ends even when two people don’t see each other for some time. He’s like my little brother though he’s really so much bigger than me. He’s one of the nicest and gentlest guys I know, a true friend who won’t let you down. I hope you’ll be okay there Bunso. Be happy!
