random nothingness when im sleep deprived

Love oftentimes gets me confused. It's such a strong word that it defeats its own meaning. It's so dynamic that sometimes i can't keep pace. It's so deceiving that once in awhile it leaves me dumbfounded. It's too broad that up until now, i find it hard to define. It can make you or break you. It can make you whole then let you crumble to pieces in an instant. It can liberate and contain you at the same time. Love gives you the sweetest dream and couples it with several sleepless nights. Love will allow you to seek truth entangled with lies. It'll teach you to be tough but will make you vulnerable. And yes it'll keep you sane but at some point would drive you crazy. Love will leave you scars of an ugly past with a promise of healing for a beautiful tomorrow.


P.S: i made this out of a heavy heart and a sleepless night using my mobile phone as a note on my facebook wall. But, as we all know-all bad things,including bad feelings come to an end and it's just a matter of days after i wrote this that i turned into a happy hippo again :D

Blissful Beginnings: Anne got hitched at HK

You know you're getting older when going out on a friday night doesn't appeal to you anymore, when people watching gets boring and you're constant girl friend no longer talks about boys and flings and dates. Instead, she tells you about how she sees herself 5 years from now, how madly in love she is with her beau and the next thing you  know she's engaged and while she leaves you breathless with that announcement she makes you skip a beat even more by dropping the wedding date..June 30 2011..and yeah it's already halfway thru May!!! Well, why am i surprised?! I got a crazy bunch of friends! Ann's announcement made me walk back memory lane (insert Fashionista by Jimmy James fo a great musical scoring here lol). Was it already 5 years ago when all we cared about was how much money can we scrimp from our allowances just so we can hang out on a friday night? Had it already been 5 years since i met this crazy bipolar friend of mine?! Had 5 years gone so fast that i haven't noticed it?! Am i that old?! Am i getting married next?! So i dig old files and check old pitures-i went from laughing to sobbing and reflecting...here's why...

this is us 5 years ago on my birthday (eric/ann/me&rain) we've always been crazy :D

that's me(leftmost) and ann (rightmost) with jeka and love when a good friday afternoon is usually spent having a fruitshake at greenbelt.

and yes our friendship had gone from coffee dates... 

to gay bar hopping with rain and eric...

were cool&crazy like that! Ü

And from that, in a span of how many years?! im sorry i lost count hehe..here we are, the very first superfriends wedding-all smiles and some cries...braved the pacific ocean, the turbulence and the fear of heights,the immigration officer and the chinese language barrier just to be here with ann on her very special day,after all..that's what friends are for right?! :D

Mr&Mrs Mac Sabinano on the 30th of June 2011

I have so much faith in this couple, i know Ann loves Mac dearly and i've seen in Mac's eye how much he loved our Andrea. I'm confident that they can withstand whatever, whenever, wherever. After all, can you tell me any couple who kept it cool on their wedding day even if one's arm is almost broken and the other's got sore sore eyes as in real bloody red sore eyes?! Nah?! That's them! All smiles despite all the whims and drama and yes i love them both dearly..i can't wait to hug little anne's and little mac's, hurry please?! :D

kissy kissy ♥ ♥ ♥

superfriends family Ü

superfriends family with the honorary member Mac Ü

eating time Ü who has the fullest plate?!Ü

the emotional moment of mom&daughter

Can you see eric and rain in the background?! yes that's them wiping off tears with kleenex :D While Ann and Mac exchange i do's they start reminiscing everything from their crazy galera trip to eating lunch together at binags and sharing iced teas at frio :D I felt like crying too but i chose to hold it back and cherish the moment instead. Seeing Tita Beh sob and hug her bunso so tight made me remember our little conversation early that morning.Ann is lucky to have such supportive mom and tita on the other hand is lucky to have a responsible and mature daughter :D We are lucky too that tita appreciates our friendship and we know that she loves us as much as we love her  bunso. And so this is the essence of our Hong Kong trip, to celebrate love,life and friendship Ü Nothing but the best wishes for Ann and Mac and thank you for choosing us to become a part of your blissful beginning.Ü

Congratulations and remember you both got superfriends who love you to bits and pieces!;D

P.S: notice the weight gain in our pictures?! it's alarming!! nah..it's the food and drinks shared over years and years of friendship that caused more love handles lol :D

Hog Kong 2011: A Childhood Dream Come True

As a kid, i've thought of Disneyland as a place near the kingdom of Heaven :) I imagine it's gates perched on a fluffy cloud up there and Mickey & Minnie opening it if you're lucky enough and guessed the correct password-my imagination is wild i know :D I was told that my tita Ann was rewarded unlimited pass to Disney Anaheim because she goes to church every Sunday and helps out anybody needy. She was generous and kind and she was rewarded for it. I tried to be like her and got impatient for the unlimited passes to get to me hehehe until i realized it was just my Ma and Pa's made up story boo!:D I eventually realized that it's not located at cloud 9 and no you don't need passwords or what have yous to get there :D Instead, you gotta work hard and save up to buy a plane ticket and Disney passes. Thank God, i almost thought i can never get there because of the good deed requirements my parents made up haha!:D And so after 23 years of existence, i set foot not to Disney Anaheim but still Disneyland-in Hong Kong thou. It was indeed magical, memories of my childhood came rushing back, the dream of having my own prince charming, the princesses and their gorgeous ball gown i wish i had and the music that plays whenever a Disney show is about to start that makes you run towards the TV, i was close to tears. The place looked exactly the same as how i imagined it  15-20 years ago minus the clouds ofcourse. LO!:D Thank you to my own prince for making this dream come true ♥ ♥ ♥ It's one item off my bucket list, i love you hun! So here it is, my short and sweet visit to the place where most child's dream come true, and no the rain did not stop me from roaming around. Too bad there's no parade because of the rain but i'm very certain that im coming back with my siblings..soon :D

                       lovie on the disney coach that's taking us to disney resort :D

                                                         finally :D

im lost for words :D im just soooo happy.
