Welcome 2011 :)

Yeah, at last I managed to grasp in some time to update my dusty blog.

Nevertheless, about a week ago, on 31^st of December 2010 at Simsuangco Residence almost all of us excited kids? ;), gathered for a new years eve. On the day itself, I remembered last minute dress hunting (mama and papa) and last minute showering and make up.

The party was great, an eight course meal, I believe, and I especially love the dessert. Walddorf Salad, which tasted so good! Thanks to Stara J Nothing much happened that day, not so much drama whatsoever, but it was fun enjoying the games and gifts after a very tiring year for me. :)

at the moment, enough of chit chatting. Here are the not so awesome pics! :p

Unconditional Love

My mother-in-law will be celebrating her birthday tomorrow.

I can’t just let this birthday slip without doing something a little superfluous. I’ve spent hours trying to form out the best way I can show my mother in law HOW MUCH I appreciate her. Conversely, all I can come up with is this letter.

I have no scheme why it was so difficult to write this letter to her. Maybe it’s because I couldn’t find the right words? I wasn’t able to excavate the words that are big enough or good enough to describe and express what she means to me …. to us. I spent hours trying to write this letter to her and I think it still falls terribly short of my intentions. Nonetheless, here it is…

Happy birthday Mama!!!

I wish you all the best, a long life full of happiness and peace. I'm so blessed to have a wonderful, caring, supportive, sweet, and affectionate mother in law like you. I want to use this day as an opportunity to tell you exactly how much we love and care for you. How much we respect you. And just how grateful I am…to have a second mom like you.

As I stare you, I see just like my mother. I perceive an incredibly smart, funny, talented, loving, courageous, beautiful woman who is beyond dedicated to her family and most especially to Papa Bogart. You are an exceptional role model, which has made your sons' endeavor to be a better person.

Thanks for your unconditional love to my two angels (Portia and Maxie)

I don’t think I will ever be able to thank you enough for all that you do, have done, and will certainly continue to do.

I don’t know where in the earth you found the remarkable strength to deal with all of life’s challenges you’ve had to face. I will never understand how you managed to tackle, handle, correct, every single one of those challenges with such style and grace.

It is a gift to have a mother in law like you.

Happy Birthday Mama Alice!!! We love you….



Blogging....Blogging....

I started blogging on 2008 and until now I really enjoy doing it. It’s my stress reliever as I can voice out my view, put my thoughts on certain things and also lay all my annotations into writing. When I try to read my past entries it brings back memories of those certain scenarios. I also bring my laptop with me since I find interesting topics or find a relaxing place I started grasping my laptop and starting doodling down things. I really love blogging and I guess I’ll never get bushed of loving and doing this activity.

Happy Birthday Rochelle!

This is not really complete. but I guess this covers most of the surprise party for Rochelle held last July 16, 2010 in Monroe’s Residence..,.. take a look on it.., happy birthday Sweet Rochelle..


I just want to share to you guys. I have to confess this experience was nothing like I thought it would be. It’s hard to illustrate but I guess this party would be like coming home to your crazy family who you haven’t seen for how many weeks — you may just get a few bombshells that you were not anticipating. We don’t get to opt who they are moreover may not always like everything about them, but you never desert them. That’s what makes you a family and brings you closer together; that’s what happened to us, Like it or not, we all share an experience that has bonded us for the rest of our lives.

Inception ~ Enigmatic

I am keen on a brain teaser movie……honestly; I’m dupe for it. I can’t find sufficient of the brain creating situations and centuries and sentences that may, or may not exist.

So I decided to watch the trailer of Inception. I was instantly drawn in. The world Christopher Nolan creates is peculiar and bona fide.

A movie pertains about extracting and planting ideas in people’s brain while they are dreaming.

It really is an unbelievable idea. Nevertheless I have to speculate just how sci-fi the thought is. At what position can you persuade a lifeless transform you’re thinking by a dream? What can bear above from the earth where your mind has no restrictions?

And if you discern you could get within someone else’s dream, would you do it?

Another brilliant idea is that one single idea can construct a city, create the impossible, change the world.

I probably inscribe later, for sure I’ll be watching it soon.

However, allow me to say, you should go buy a ticket, and check out Inception.

And don’t be troubled to dream a little bigger, dear

I will...

Have you ever just bunged and asked yourself, “Is this real? Could this be my life?” I have. Everyday.

Everyday I wake up in the morning…thinking. Every night I close my eyes as I try to fall asleep…thinking. And as hard as I try, I cannot begin to imagine what I ever did to merit the beauty this life has to offer. It is not without its adversity – far more than I wish to divulge – but the many joys and blessings offset those adversities.

What did I ever do to deserve this security? I have no answers. I can only be eternally thankful for what I have been given – the love, the security, the blessings. I have no words to express how I truly feel. I can only say Thank You.I still have not given up. I value my confines, the places I cannot go, the things I cannot change. If I try to change something in my own power, I will most certainly fail. Without a doubt, I will not succeed. But it is by the grace of God in which we see change. By God’s grace alone will I be able to get through these challenges and face yet another day. I pray for that strength, perhaps even that courage, to walk through the challenges that lay before me. Not with a weary, tired soul, but with one of determination and boldness.

A creep

Why do we sometimes sense an extreme yearning for things that are already over?
for the things can never flee the trap that was the past--things that have already attained the point of no return,
consequently building them irrevocable.
Which means that no matter how rigid it could dig up, we have no other option but to allow the less-likeable way things turned out to be, or the resentment that once cherished thoughts have turned into?
and that, the superlative thing to do is to struggle our supreme to live and bear with the cost.

Afterall, it’s over and done with.
and after all, it's just appropriate to comprehend that when things don't stay with us, then it's perhaps because they're not for us.
BUT
why, then, do we persist to pray for things to occur the same way again?
why do we splurge sleepless nights drowning ourselves in thought?
why do we soak our pillows in tears?
why do we tolerate the pain to sneak inside our hearts?

aren't they, as i have mentioned earlier, already done with?

had i known the answers to my why-thens, i would never had asked you.
but the thing is, the only thing i'm sure of was that..
as i adage this thing
i'd been massively affected.
