'Tween dusk and dreams

2011-12-27T04:05:00.001+08:00

Where rainbows bow and willows weepWhere sunlight falls and moonbeams creepWhere shooting stars embrace the sea'Tween dusk and dreams you wait for meWe sat within a field of greenStaring at the peaceful sceneStretching far as we could seeWere flowers blooming bright and freeOn glowing sand kissed by the sunYour warmth was there for everyoneAs sunlight cast its parting glowSinking 'neath waves, we

"We've got to prepare. We don't want to be like those dumb Americans who go to Europe to eat McDonald's and speak English real loud instead of the local language." I wish I was in Europe. Or anywhere else but here for that matter.. I want to learn a new language, meet new people, and take more pictures! But instead I'm pretty much grounded for not-so-obvious (or fair) reasons. How's my life

Back to blogging just as the semester comes to a close. I'm pretty sure this isn't the first time this happened.. :p Time just seems to be accelerating, someday a year might feel like a month. Everyday my mind still wanders to quiet nights in Copenhagen when I was alone with my thoughts and so carefree. Back in NUS, it's almost like I breathe sad sighs.In a nutshell, it's been tough concentrating

Say what you need to say.

2011-11-21T13:16:00.000+08:00

The most important things are the hardest to say. They are the things you get ashamed of, because words diminish them — words shrink things that seemed limitless when they were in your head to no more than living size when they’re brought out. But it’s more than that, isn’t it? The most important things lie too close to wherever your secret heart is buried, like landmarks to a treasure your

Better Than Life

2011-08-25T01:02:00.003+08:00

Tossed back into the tumultuous life of a University student, and it's harder to return to it than ever. Distractions are everywhere, but I'm only to blame.. My mind is like a rebellious teenager- disobedient and defiant. The immediate goal: I just have to get through Thursday. Read this today. Nothing warms and fills my heart better than God's word. I don't know what I'd do without it. :) Psalm

Take me back!

2011-08-17T17:37:00.006+08:00

Honestly, I'm pretty disappointed in myself. Somehow upon returning from Denmark I had a passion for learning that saw me often in public libraries with a long reading list and a stack of books about 12 inches high! I was happy, and thought that I had a new-found love for knowledge-acquiring. I somewhat looked forward to school, too, but how quickly things have changed. :( From the first lesson

The Weather

2011-07-12T00:32:00.003+08:00

Looking back, I had so many tweets about the weather! There are 2 possible explanations for this: 1) There was nothing else to tweet about (just like in conversations with strangers, you talk about the weather) and 2) Weather has a huge effect on me and my mood.. It's been extremely humid here in Singapore, and sweating is just not my thing!! But before this turn into a complaining blog post, I

I've failed at upkeeping a blog during my stay in Copenhagen. I leave in 2 days and once again, it's sad! I wouldn't say it's all that difficult because what's waiting back home has a greater pull on me than what's here. But at the same time I've started a life here, settled down and gotten used to it. And over the past 21 weeks, Denmark felt more and more like a home! Just last week I've

Sharing something that I read from here.. I began to bold the ones that have meant a lot to me and that I have been learning so much about especially in the past months here in Denmark, and I found myself bolding them most, if not all! :)1. Our intimacy with God – His highest priority for our lives – determines the impact of our lives.2. Obey God and leave all the consequences to Him.3. God’s

Just wanted to share something that I read this morning :)It's been a long, cold winter, and I am eager for warm weather. I'm tired of seeing bare trees and lifeless brown leaves covering the ground. I long to see wildflowers poke through the dead leaves and to watch the woods turn green once more.Yet even as I anticipate my favourite season, I hear my mother's voice saying, "Don't wish your life

Spring

2011-04-03T01:16:00.003+08:00

So glad I got myself out of the house today, even if it was only an hour or so! The park went from dull and dreary to purple and populated! :) Haha.. I declare that Spring is officially here!!! :)Oh and Zj, here's the bird I wanted to show you!

The quarter has officially wound down and I've been waking up close to noon! Today was the latest I've woken up (11:41am) and it was to an sms! I slept at around 1am last night. :p Feeling slightly bum-ish because yesterday the furthest from my room I'd gotten was the laundry room downstairs! I went to sleep last night thinking I should go to the park in the morning for a stroll, and to check out

I woke up this morning not knowing what time it was... I know DST kicked in and time was supposed to skip an hour, but I didn't know whether the clock on my phone and laptop had moved forward automatically or whether I had to adjust it myself. :p Felt kinda lost, til I remembered I could check my manual unadjustable-except-by-human-hands wristwatch! And sure enough, it was an hour behind from my

The past week came and went in a flash. I wish it could have lasted longer, that I spent more time with them, that I did more for them. I miss them so much already and realise now more than ever how hard it is being left behind and alone. I wish no one ever had to say goodbye. Parting is one of the most tragic things in the universe! At least it's not forever. 3 more months. And even as I look

I wish I finished studying earlier so I don't have to allocate time for studying this week and spend time with the visiting half of my family instead. The trade-off is pretty lopsided, though! Plus, the constant reminder that I only need to pass (which apparently is not much of a feat) tilts the scale even further. By far, however, this is the least confident I've ever been for a final exam! And

The Littlest Things

Spring is in the air! Yesterday we had double digit temperature, and today was close enough at a nine degree high. I was so excited for good weather today that I'd just worn one layer and a jacket, totally neglecting wind chill. Good thing we were indoors for the most part! We visited the National Gallery of Denmark (also known as Statens Museum For Kunst :D, sounds catchy) and then walked down

We're past mid-March but it seems like winter just can't let go! Right outside my window is a small snowman about a foot tall, which is the first snowman I've ever built :) Last night was also the first time I was in a snowball fight! Although it was more

I've been meaning to blog again about my experiences here in Denmark, but have only gotten around to it now. Now that exams are next week, and now that mother and brother are visiting in 2 days! So I suppose I'll be too busy to update anyway. But it's a start. :D

Staying with a family friend so we're in another beautiful (large) home! Today, our plans got disrupted and we ended up in the Field Museum in downtown Chicago as well as Millennium Park where we saw the Bean!!! :D I

Maybe... I should just give up! I just came into the house from the backyard, daddy's DSLR in hand. The sky is a perfect shade of blue and the sun a tad too bright but I can't wait til it sets because it only does at 8pm, and we'll be out for dinner. (It's now almost 4.30 :)) Took several shots which completely fail to capture the intensity of the light and the deep blue backdrop of sky. I'm

I have a headache. Been having one since the 12-hour plane ride from Beijing to LA.. Which, by far, is the worst plane ride I have ever had in my 19+ years of existence. :( I couldn't sleep even though I was soooooooo sleepy! And I was so restless and miserable for millions of seconds that couldn't pass too slowly. I kept longing for my bed back home! I probably should sleep soon, but I'm waiting

Results haunted me all night and even dreamt of getting Ls and Qs (instead of As/Bs/Cs) which was really strange, and then I found out that Qs meant I had to retake the final exam. Same paper, just again. I got a Q for DSC2006 Operations Management, which was by far the worst final exam I've taken because:a) I only started studying for it and making my cheat sheet (which I'm still proud of and

Thursday = Tuition Day! I've gotten used to making my way to AMK every week but still don't like the fact that it takes 2.5 hours to travel to and fro! Plus there's rush hour on the way home, which I abhore. (strong word huh?) I choose to look at it from another perspective though, it compensates my overpaid-ness! Time, and of course travel expenses = $$$! Anyway, here are pictures of my students

I told myself that one of the things I'd do during the holidays was learn new songs on the guitar. So far, I only know 2 songs-- More Than Words and When You Say Nothing At All! I can't seem to find songs that are tabbed/chorded well enough to 1) sound nice and 2) suit my limited fun-sized hands. It doesn't help that my dad's guitar neck is too wide either. :( Maybe I should try a Ukulele! Oh

It's so that I can finally have a Philippine passport too. When we tried to apply for one some years back they said we needed to go to the embassy closest to my birthplace. So I'll be registering my birth after almost 20 years of

Every morning when I open my eyes to the bright sun, I fail to get up and go for a run! (Wow, it rhymed. I hate when that happens, makes it sound like I actually tried.) Anyway, I finally ran today, though in the evening, because I woke up around noon again. (I don't use too much commas. Or brackets!) Sigh, I feel dumb these days. There have been a few incidents where I couldn't even spell simple

2010-04-15T21:31:00.002+08:00

Sometimes it has to do with my activities for the coming day, but the people I'm with in my dreams are not the people I meet on that day. Sometimes I dream about travelling but taking the strangest routes, routes that can only happen in dreams. Like for example the lrt

Still it makes me feel like there's always some school work I should be doing when I'm not. :( I wish the feeling would go away but I know that it won't!

Today was so mentally draining. Studied for accounting and did tutorials from 11 AM to 12 MN, breaking only thrice. Once for Lunch + TV (1 hour), another to de-saturize my brain (45 minutes) and then dinner (30 minutes).. Which brings us to our Grand Total: 10 hours and 45 minutes of studying.AND.... In 8 hours and 21 minutes: Back to school! :( If only someone could make me this tomorrow, I

I don't want my CAP to drop too much! I haven't touched anything since Thursday last week! Talk about guilt! :(I feel a sore throat coming on! Better get to sleep soon, can't afford to fall sick

Woke up at 8:45 and in order to reach the library in time to grab a table i had to forfeit breakfast. Sigh.. It was a bad trade-off seeing that the library is rather empty and super quiet except for the noise my stomach's making. I managed to grab a pack of

Well, I've drawn another one, looking at one of the many pictures I took of his profile yesterday while he was

I read somewhere that Valentines Day is S.A.D. as in Single Awareness Day. I think it kinda is sad (for lack of a better/different word) if you look at it from that point of view.. So if you're single why not ask someone to be your valentine? That way

FINALLY I can update my blog! Been putting it off since my blogskin was still Christmasy.! I just changed it to this one and I love the balloons pictures! Lately I've been tumblr-surfing and looking through random websites featuring things like DIY crafts, wedding photos, and polyvore.com! Plus I've been busy upgrading my Restaurant City restaurant (:Besides being sorta busy online, there's

I dread the first day back in school in many ways.. Not so much because of what it was, because it's really not that bad, but more so because of what it represented. Anyway, while caught in the morning rush hour I decided to flip through my bible to the Psalms, and came across this:"Oh, that I had the wings of a dove! I would fly away and live at rest-- I would flee far away and stay in the

I want to run.. To run FAST. But I can't... Not yet at least.. But soon! (:All of a sudden, I'm leaving for Singapore in 2 days. Reunions have been missed if not procrastinated, crammed and even integrated into one Saturday. Have not really done some things I've mentally told myself to do before going back.. Things that can mostly be done at home during free time, when I have lazy afternoons and

How bad can it be?

I CUT MY HAIR!!!!! Sigh, I kind of regret it but it's alright for a change.. My siblings say it looks weird though. :( I'm hoping its only because they're not used to it! Hahaha.. My bro says it looks like my UNCLE'S hair last time! Sigh, is it that bad?! :/ Grow, hair, GROW!!!

2010-01-04T02:34:00.002+08:00

I don't know what I'm doing......! I think part of me misses those days but hello.. NVM! Hahaha :/Back in Singapore in less than a week.. Dreading school but I still can't wait to be back. :P Haven't bid for my French module yet, and I've to swap a pre-assigned tutorial in order to get a 4-day week. Hope it all works out fine! And I still haven't applied for exchange. Deadline's drawing near!!!!!

Last Day, 2009

2009-12-31T07:05:00.002+08:00

Good morning! It's such a cold and bright morning! I can't really say bright because the sun is an hour fast, so at 7 AM its like the 8 AM sun in Singapore. (I keep talking about how the sun is an hour fast because after 3 weeks here I'm still not used to it. I don't like how it sets early either. Gets too dark too early!!) I'm so cold, my fingers and toes are starting to get frostbite. Okay

TGIF, HONEY!

2009-12-28T01:13:00.007+08:00

These pictures are from even before Christmas.. Been quite busy but mostly just lazy! Days pass fast, nights pass slower.. Been getting nightmares lately about being chased, someone wanting to kill my family :( Besides that, I've been taking each day one day at a time.. Thank goodness for activities, outings, relatives, friends, meals, snacks.. Thank goodness for distractions!Bidding starts on

The sun has turned to grey

Delayed blog post.. I think I should upload less pictures next time! This was what happened last week, I think. I have no sense of time whatsoever.On the eve of my grandparents' 50th wedding anniversary! Accompanied grandfather to the flower store to buy flowers for my grandmother :D First time I also "sacrificed" my hand by waving it out of the window into another lane to ask the driver to give

These days my mind has been so far away from school that I keep forgetting about Exam Results coming out tomorrow, 1100 hrs for me..!So many things to update about, and Christmas is just a couple days away! I doubt I'll have the time.. :/ Maybe I should do it now since I can't sleep.. My 10 year old cousin (who's sleeping over!) has decided to play 21 Guns on my phone on repeat. I think he's

For some reason I keep thinking I'm coming home to Singapore soon! Then I realise that I haven't even been here a third of the time I'm supposed to! I think most of it is because we always leave from here after Christmas and before New Year.. This time we'll be staying several days after 2010 has begun! What's kinda strange is that I'm more excited for New Year than Christmas!!! I can't wait to

My whole of Sunday was spent in Imus, Cavite.. Which is a rather long drive from home, plus with traffic is a SUPERRRRRRRRRRRR long drive!! Both ways I think took us slightly over 5 hours! So I guess I should say that almost half my day was spent in the car :( Long car rides make me extremely restless..... But it also makes me wanna write. Strange, I know.. I probably should remember to bring

Departed from Singapore at 12:30 from Terminal 3! It's my first time flying off from there! (: Had starbucks before leaving.. More like sat there. My brother gobbled down a connamon roll (we were supposed to share!) while my mum drank a toffee nut latte, thinking it was supposed to be a cold drink. Haha. Bye Boys! See you next week! Take care of Vlad! (I decided to name my cute fat dog Vladimir

Clare: It's hard being left behind. I wait for Henry, not knowing where he is, wondering if he's okay. It's hard to be the one that stays.I keep myself busy. Time goes faster that way.I go to sleep alone, and wake up alone. I talk walks. I work until I'm tired. I watch the wind play with the trash that's been under the snow all winter. Everything seems simple until you think about it. Why is love

Good morning, world! I am atm very proud of myself for waking up early and going for a run! Although sighhh my stamina is down down down. I almost died after running 1 km :O hahaha..

this could possibly be the most excited i've been for december 1st to come! not because its my birthday but because it marks the first day of freedom from exams!!! :D i think reading week for me was a bit too long.. i'd rather have it a couple days shorter and have my exams earlier so i'd have more free time later! i'd slack less when i'm supposed to be studying too! oh well... its only a week

just one spark starts a fire

2009-11-20T12:37:00.003+08:00

i absolutely loathe studying! :( sigh.. i look at my room's yellow wall and all of a sudden it looks paler.. almost like a sad colour :( bright yellow things used to make me happy! i guess not anymore. rain's on its way and i wanna sleep and wake up 10 days from now! i can't wait for december!

oh whisper three words

2009-10-26T11:24:00.002+08:00

i feel like i've been slacking for a week now but actually its been only like.. 3 days? and i can't believe that recess week is in 3 weeks.. meaning finals are in 4!!! SO SUPER FAST! i'm kinda glad though because that means holidays are coming (: finally met up with serene and hq last friday in school! we've been trying to meet up since august! talking about well, school.. but SEP particulary and

this morning i was up bright an early to finally renew my passport at the US embassy. i think its exterior's kinda awesomeee, i love the "fort-like-ness" of it! (: their bullet-proof doors are heavy to the maximum; the heaviest doors i've ever pushed! i couldn't even open it myself :'( i need to start exercising again.. i think i used my flu for the past million days as an excuse. anyway, the

today was probably the most interesting of my school days. not so much because of lessons (duh) but because of a lot of random, weird happenings. my morning was strange. i woke up in a different room and felt disoreinted because it was way too early to be up when classes only started at 9. went for breakfast with my dad and sister after dropping baby brother (new nickname :D) in school! we got

My school week has just unofficially ended! (: I'm waiting in school for my sister to end her lecture then we're going home together! Tutorials start next week! I just checked on IVLE and I suddenly have a pile of work to do. ): I think I'm still on holiday mood.. Dad left for America last Tuesday!

My Saturday was awesome (: Although it began with me a little bit frightened by some small issue (which kinda made me even lose my appetite.. i think) everything turned out okay. I woke up at almost noon but managed to greet people a good morning just in time! My mother and I started making ice cream using my birthday present a few years back! (FINALLY!) That was after we realised we had to chill

I've decided to come back to blogging! Okay.. It wasn't really a decision I guess. But once school comes around or there's something to complain about, I end up here! Sad right. Anyway, I've also decided to start typing properly, capitalising the first letters of every sentence and stuff. Since I'm in uni now and it's time to be more mature!!! Hahaha! (:Schooooool. Sigh. 3 days into it only and

TELUNAS DAY 2

2009-07-23T23:34:00.011+08:00

my second day begins at the crack of dawn to watch the sun rise. there was a little too much of cloud cover, but the view still took my breath away! so with a hot cup of coffee i sat on the edge of the deck with my dad and took in the beautiful scene (:and then the sun finally showed while i was walking back to wake the rest of the family!this was taken just outside our tiny house!breakfast time!

LAST DAY of work today (: weird thing's that i was more excited to be free on thursday than today! i guess doing everything for the last time kind of made me realise i'd kinda miss my job. today was cool because i was able to do a little bit of everything that i do! some days its just quotations, some days just filing, other days.... nothing much? HAHA. today i did two quotations, filed, searched

after work last friday, headed straight to widj's place for sleepover :D was one of the most productive ones ever.. we managed to do most of the things intended- play tennis, watch movies, sleep late (and not just die halfway), make breakfast and bake brownies! :D dinner was mostly prepared by evan and widj.. i was exhausted from work and just zonked on the couch in front of the teevee for a bit.
