Fashion Friday

Loreen    11:14 PM   
(*Disclaimer: Beautiful dresses continuously amaze me but I am not a fashion blogger. I just like creating looks as inspiration for everyday/special day dressing up.) So in about 4 days, we're having this really big party, where all my relatives from my Dad's side of the family will gather at my...

A quick love note

Loreen    1:17 AM   
written in 2010: I don't want to have to recycle the words but I guess they have all been said to you one time or another ... although I don't think anybody would have ever meant them as much. - ...

Of past lives and blog sites

Loreen    7:58 AM   
I cannot believe these are still out there! Good thing I still regularly check the email address I used to create all these. My gaaaahd! I CANNOT BELIEVE IT. From my teeny-bopper petty problem days: to my lesbian phase (or so I thought) days: to my mommy journal: So funny reading...

Thoughts at 6 in the morning

Loreen    6:19 AM   
★ There are a lot of things in my life I should be thankful for - food, shelter, health, friends, family, and even just life itself. But my eyeglasses tend to get a bit blurry sometimes and the things I should be thankful for get lost in the "i-don't-know-what-is-happening-to-this-life" phase of mine. ★ Writing is something I know I can do pretty well. I have been practicing since I was six years...

When Love Arrives - Sarah Kay & Phil Kaye

Loreen    1:48 AM   
"Love is not who you were expecting, love is not what you can predict. Maybe love is in New York City, already asleep, and you are in California, Australia, wide awake. Maybe love is always in the wrong time zone, maybe love is not ready for you. Maybe you are not ready for love. Maybe love just isn’t the marrying type. Maybe the next time you see love is twenty years after the divorce, love looks...

A sleepless night and a song on repeat

Loreen    1:28 AM   
I have the Up Dharma Down song Tadhana on repeat. And I can't stop listening to all the possibilities, the unwritten words just ready to come out any second the next note is played. But I have nothing. All I have is an endless stream of thoughts I can barely grasp. No, I can't even stay still for a couple of seconds to try to comprehend the things I keep stressing about. No, just when I thought...

A quick love note

Loreen    12:09 PM   
We've been together 29 months. You're cooking your special creamy tomato pasta for breakfast-brunch-lunch. And I say I'm working on one of the articles I need to submit later. But I just want to write this quick love note to let you know a few things: You're a very beautiful person. You constantly bring out the best in every single man or woman whose lives depend on your care. You touch other people's...

Never a time for anything

Loreen    11:46 AM   
It's almost noon and I still haven't had breakfast, still haven't taken a bath, and still haven't started on those 10 articles I need to finish before 8pm. I am still trying to pry my thoughts away from crawling back to bed. My partner is already up and cooking for us but me? With less than 6 hours of sleep, I feel dead tired. It's fascinating how there just aren't enough hours in a day to do everything...

Of words unsaid

Loreen    6:30 AM   
I have no idea how to say it. The words feel wrong, somehow. It's been exactly 231 days since I read my Mother's text, telling me my Grandfather has given up his fight for life. Lolo and me I was just about to drop by the hospital later that day, after my daughter's pre-school graduation. It was...

At 5 am

Loreen    5:14 AM   
So I haven't posted anything lately. And it's actually good for me irl. Because the lesser the time I spend online means the more time I get to spend doing anything with a pen and a paper offline. Okay, not really. Gaah. I just want to post something to make my blog look a wee bit awake. It's 10 minutes past 5 in the morning, the girlfriend has been asleep since midnight, I still haven't started...

Weekend

Lors    7:20 PM   
Saturday - Went to Coal with the team to celebrate Bill's 22nd. Had half a bottle of San Mig Green Apple then went straight to the hospital to pick girlfriend up from work. Headed to Save More to buy some groceries then went home. Slept before 6 pm. Sunday - Picked girlfriend up from work, ate...

Moonleaf date with bes, and kids these days

Lors    5:11 PM   
Instead of going straight home after work, I bought food at KFC for girlfriend's lunch. I was supposed to just drop by the hospital to give it to her but since they only had 2 patients left, I decided to wait for her end of shift in two hours at the hospital instead. While waiting, I was able to reach a third of chapter 2 in my book, smoke at the store jut outside the bldg., slept a bit (around 30-minutes-ish),...

Timed in at work today

Lors    4:57 PM   
and just as I entered the door going to the office, I smelled the stinking feeling of dread. I really thought I was going to WANT to come back to work after a long vacation. That was the reason why I wanted to turn in my resignation before I went on leave - because I was scared I wouldn't be able to do it when I came back 'cause I would miss doing something, working. But as it turns out, the feeling...

Late lunch date

Lors    4:08 PM   
Picked girlfriend up from work today and brought her a Hakka Milk Tea from Moonleaf. I tried their new Apple Yogurt Milk Tea but I think it's a but fruity for my taste. It will do, but it's no Wintermelon. Anyway, after surprising girlfriend, we decided on eating at Cafe Lidia. It felt like forever...

Vacation hangover

Lors    9:26 AM   
The real world still hasn't sinked in. My body is physically here, in bed, lying around and waiting for sleep but my mind is somewhere else. Every time I look at the clock my thoughts race back to the exact same time in Boracay, a couple of days ago, yesterday... and then the whole scenery transports...

That's a wrap

Lors    7:53 PM   
Finally got home. We stayed at naia for a lot longer to grab lunch before heading to the departure area so we won't have to pay all that extra for a non-metered fare taxi or the 70 peso flagdown rate taxi with 4 pesos per 300mts. And we got a cab almost instantly. Unfortunately, we got stuck with a...

Getaway day 4 breakfast in parts

Lors    11:25 AM   
Thought we would have to rush eating breakfast (because we'd wake up late and the shuttle that will pick us up will be at the lobby by ten) but thankfully, we woke up ahead of time and got to eat leisurely and even take photos of the hotel before we left. So here's breakfast, and glimpses into the...

Sitting, Waiting, Wishing

Lors    11:21 AM   
At Godofredo P. Ramos airport in Caticlan. We got in too early, our flight's at 12.55 and it's just 11 in the morning. We left Patio Pacific at 10 and we were here by 10.30. Wow. Too bad though the two tv's here are strictly glued to news channels. We cannot watch the game boohoo. I bet the Shangri-La's...

Checking out

Lors    9:45 AM   
Currently at the hotel's lobby. Will be traveling again in a bit, and hopefully girlfriend doesn't feel sick on the plane ride home. ...

Getting married in Boracay

Lors    6:00 AM   
After the police station, we dropped by the famous Jonah's for mango milk and avocado milk shakes, Ti Braz for the crepe and pasta, Starbucks for the coffee, and Willy's rock, and yes guys, my partner and I got married in Boracay. No. Of course not. There was a wedding and when it was done, we asked...
