Currently Vol. 6

After three months, here is my next entry for the Currently Series. I maybe just have to accept that I'll never be an up-to-date kind of blogger. To those of you who are still sticking around after this on and off relationship with my blog, cheers! :) 

I am unusually up at this time and have no desire of getting into bed anytime soon so might as well record my thoughts and feelings. Here's tonight's currently.

READING

The Longest Ride by Nicholas Sparks. Been reading this on random days for weeks now. I got a little less interested after watching the movie but still wanted to finish to discover the differences between the movie and the book. The movie was kinda predictable and less romantic compared with other movie adaptations of Sparks' novels. The Notebook is still my favorite. Next would have to be a tie between Nights in Rodanthe and Safe Haven. I don't like tragic endings. They break my heart but there is something so special about how Nights in Rodanthe broke my heart. I mean, the story just had to end that way. Although it was painful, it was a good kind of pain.

WRITING

Several letters of requests lately. And in my mind, I am also writing letters for my heart, hushing it. Nothing else can comfort my heart but its bestfriend/best enemy.

LISTENING
To my calling because...

THINKING
Of so many things since the other day because I am about to face the most challenging chapter of my life. No, not the married life. Hehe. It's something more challenging I guess :)

FEELING

Tons of emotions. I feel like in Rapunzel's shoes after she finally jumped out of her comfort zone (the castle) - feeling accomplished at one point then really doubtful if she made the right decision after a second or two. But she finally gave it a go. Good thing for her was, she had somebody to jump out of the castle with even if it was just a stranger while I am about to jump from my castle alone! Please let these feelings end the soonest!!!

LOVING
The vision of the far future. The near future seems blurry, even dark and I am scared like a kitty cat but I am holding on to the promise of a wonderful far future. The greater the sacrifice, the greater the reward, as it is said.

WANTING
To skip this stage of adulthood because reasons. How does one unlove? Let go? Begin? (These verbs are applicable to jobs, persons, events, possibilities)

NEEDING
To release some of these heavy loads so I can travel light.

WISHING
That all will be well in the next months.

The best thing that I am learning these days is to hold on to the promises of God. There is no weapon and shield more powerful than prayer. And there is no better companion and confidant than God.

It is also true that you will just know how to get the bridge when you get there. And you may hear thousands of wise words but you'll only get to understand those which apply to you. "Follow your heart", they will tell you. Thus, befriend and know your heart well. Listen to it carefully. It does know how to lead you through.

All is well, friends! If not yet, then it will be!!!

My Current Thoughts In A Nutshell

Grabbed from the net

You know all those things you've always wanted to do?

A rewind to the day when I watched motocross for the first time and when I played as a fashion blogger (wanna-be). Is it just me or does anyone else here think that fashion blogging is the coolest thing on earth? Well, maybe next to hosting a travel show (which is by the way my wildest dream job because you get paid to travel the world!!!) 

It is no secret to my friends that I love hopping on fashion blogs and following the bloggers on instagram. There is something so magnetic and influential about them. They make all ensemble look awesome even just a white shirt, faded shorts and flip flops. Thus, I cannot help but imitate. That's how influential they are even to a manang like me. And I am always reminded by the quote that hangs on my wall: "You know all those things you've always wanted to do? You should go and do them." And so I did! :)

After this attempt I realized two things. 1) It is difficult to control a laugh. 2) It feels awkward to play candid. But of course I know these things aren't so hard for the naturals. So kudos to those wonderful bloggers I admire!
