Little Flower

Yellow Flower



Little flower, you pretty little thing
Blossoming in yellow, oh! the happiness you bring
My heart fills with joy and love forever true
Butterflies swirl in my tummy at the mere thought of you.

Little flower, you are more than just that
You are my little sunshine, the prettiest of the lot
Transcending over time, your mark shall never fade
In my heart forever lives, fond memories that you gave.

100 Happy Days Challenge: Day 61

Happiness is...

   ...a holiday! ^_^ It's the city fiesta. Free day is lazy day.
   ...got invited to a party with lots of food. As if food wasn't enough, the best part was seeing him again. ;)
   ...a new hobby. Well, not really. I will be testing the waters first. What, you may wonder. I'm thinking of sewing and dressmaking. Wish me luck!

Since I don't have a picture of my day, I'll show my plans for my first sewing project. :)

And as I said, wish me luck! ^_^

100 Happy Days Challenge: Day 60

Happiness is...

   ...surviving the day! ^_^
      It's the day before the city fiesta and everywhere you turn, there is always something happening. So it's refreshing to finally close the day and even more exciting at the thought that there will be no work tomorrow. I am sooo gonna have a date with my bed! haha :D

   ...feeling pretty. For some god-knows-what reason, I suddenly found my piggy self participating  in the Higalaay fashion show. Higalaay is a movement that aims to promote Cagayan de Oro to live up to its title of being a city of golden friendship. Nothing too fancy, really. But being a fashion show, it's still something. Or at least, I'd like to think so. tehee ;)

  ...food! haha :D Mr Boss returned to the office after he went to get his dinner. And what do you know? He decided to share his blessings. ^_^

   ...food date with the little sister.
   ...movie date with friends. watched Rorouni Kenshin in action.
   ...the ATE/NANAY from the movie house gave us a free VIP pass to the pyro competition. We ended up not using it since it was limited to 4 people and we were still expecting more friends to join us. But the thought certainly tugged at the heartstrings.

100 Happy Days Challenge: Day 55 and 56

First off, you might be wondering why the two days are lumped together. You see, August 22 (day 55) was the Clix Geek Wars. It's a night of trivia game which is a part of the Clix Launching. The following day, August 23 (day 56) was the Clix Cosplay event. So yeah... It was a very hectic two days. So, the things to be happy about?


Happiness is...

   ...a successful Geek Wars with the biggest number of turn-out in Geek Wars history yet.

lookie how pretty the venue is. :)

   ...bathing in the rain. Well, more like drenched actually. haha :D I helped assemble the HUGE tents in the rain. Thankfully, the skies let up and the rest of the night was dry.
   ...bonding session with the team.
   ...having a hotel room and rooming with another colleague.

already making the room MINE and feeling at home

   ...waking up with a free complimentary breakfast.
bangsilog

   ...a successful Cosplay event.
cosplay tarp. soo puuuurdi

   ...hosting the Cosplay with my wonderful co-host TK (and not making a fool of myself).
got my hair straightened. I must say I'm impressed. Didn't know it was this long. hehe

   ...a bit of bonding with the rest of the team and with HS friends.


I'm pretty sure I didn't get to mention everything I was happy about. With so many things that happened, I am also happy that I can take a break and catch up on some much needed ZZZzzZzzs

100 Happy Days Challenge: Day 54

Happiness is...

   ...food! haha :D yes, my friend. I am still very stressed.

Anyway, GO TEAM! We can do this.

100 Happy Days Challenge: Day 53

Happiness is...


    ...coming somewhat safe amidst the selective flooding that happened. The sprinkler system was messed up. One of the sprinklers turned on (the one right above my desk) drenching everything in the ground floor office. And of all nights, I decided to leave Bobong (my lappy) at the office. So yeah...
   ...sleep-over at Kenny's! ^_^ lookie at the lights. so purrtyyy.

100 Happy Days Challenge: Day 51


Happiness is...

   ...rest day! ^_^ It's supposedly on the 21st. But company policy moves all holidays to Mondays. :) So, sleep for me.
   ...feeling loved. A good friend finally got into his dream job. Started training today. And the best part? Whatever perks he has extends to friends... tehee ^_^ thanks for this doy:

 
     ...I'm all set for Clix Cosplay. Which wouldn't have been possible without my sisters' help, by the way. :)
 
Wanna see my school girl uniform? It's pretty neat if I may say so. Not exactly the super intricate costume I'm sure many others would compete in. But then again, I just want to feel the cosplay spirit.
 
 
   ...and oh, I got this neat flashdisk too. Courtesy of my <eldest> sister. yey!
 
 
 
Pardon for the many pics. haha :D I usually just post one, condensing all the happy things into a collage. But I'm just too ecstatic right now. tehee ;)

A Lot Like Something Else

Seeing in twos, clammy hands, fast heart beat, butterflies in the tummy among many other things.

Never thought I'd feel this way again. Never thought I'd once again feel that inexplicable mixture of excitement, apprehension and dread in equal parts - excitement it has come, apprehension and dread at its implication.

Been a while, I almost forgot how it feels. One thing remains certain though,

                      DYSMENORRHEA, I absolutely and irrevocably hate you.

100 Happy Days Challenge: Day 42

Happiness is...

   ...a day off.
   ...visiting an art gallery. (w/ him)
   ...a new friend. (his friend)
   ...dinner. (still with him)

haha :D it's all about him today. I wonder...


and oh, I lacked pictures. forgive me?
Anyway, here's a pic of a clear night. (or an attempt of it, at least)


I'm also hanging out with ham-ham tonight. Just until the lil sister comes back home. The name is actually Max. But he will always be ham-ham to me. haha :D

Dear Future Boyfriend,

I met someone. I kinda like him and I think he kinda likes me too. (Actually, I really hope he does.)

So if you're done with your anonymity, I'd be great to formally meet you. If you turn out to be my "I kinda like guy", truth be told, I'd be over the moon.

If not, well...nothing I can really do about that. But please, tell me you're waiting for me out there - that even if neither of us do not recognize each other's beat yet, we will someday. Assure me that I am not riding into an abyss, or that is what will become of my heart.




With love,

me
