Currently Vol. 5

The photo above was taken around this time last year in Kiamba Sarangani Province, summer time too. I love going back to lovely familiar places. I am that park-kind-of-girl who loves long leisurely walks and is awed by the greeneries.

READING

Super insightful book by one of my favorite bloggers, Bianca Gonzales. I wish this kind of book existed when I was at my 20's. Hihi. It's super sulit, too for Php 245. 

WRITING

Titles of movie recommendations from friends. Summer vacation has officially started for me because I am done with my grades. Yay!

LISTENING TO

Songs of the 90's. How I loved the songs then. It was a boyband era. I remembered how my teenage self was screaming for the cutiepies on tv. I feel it inappropriate for me now to scream that way but I still have celebrity crushes, y'know. Haha. It's funny how I am considering myself too old for such things just because I'll soon be stepping into that 30-ish zone.

THINKING

Of the places I will go to this summer. Kind of planned exciting things. :)

FEELING

A little courage is creeping into my veins. I need to do something really really important. I think it's called a milestone. Please pray for me. Please...

LOVING

The time I am spending at home. I love being in my bedroom reading and writing. And oh, I am loving the fact that I am finally free of my braces. Yes! I feel that I look different, though. I will get used to this, anyhow.

WANTING

To relearn cursive writing because it looks better in love letters. :) This is the side effect of watching Nicholas Sparks movies. I was good at it but I had to unlearn it since college. Our professor in Math asked us to. 

NEEDING

To get a makeover for this blog. It's been awhile since I last prettified it. In the meantime, please bear with its template. Thank you. :)

WISHING

I was a travel talk show host for the rest of the summer so I could enjoy the food and beaches for free with the chance of having to tell my travel stories on TVeeey! That's my dream job, by the way. I really think these hosts have the coolest job in the whole wide world! :)

You know all those things that you've always wanted to do? I hope you could do one this summer, friends!

Currently Vol. 4

I am saying hello to a sunny Saturday morning from the comforts of my bedroom. I have learned the habit of getting up (and not just waking up) at around 6 AM. Have you noticed that elders wake up before the sun rises? So I guess this new habit naturally comes with age. :) Now on to my currently series.

READING

To All The Boys I've Loved Before by Jenny Han. A good read for me is not only when I cannot put the book down but also when I catch myself smiling every so often. This book has those two effects on me. And oh, I cannot stop talking about it. This another YA in my list of favorites is too cute not to share. Not that I have loved so many boys in the past but it's the letter writing that I can relate to. I was so into writing love letters for myself, for friends, for God (as a form of prayer) and for Drew. I even snailmailed some of my letters to him. We basically started at giving out loveletters to each other even when we met during the instant messages era already. This book gave me that spark back.

Currently Vol. 3

I am in the mood for documenting my midweek. It is still the third week of the year but I feel that tons of things have happened already. My heart is in deep gratitude.

READING
Still on Tuesdays with Morrie but I am also in search of some quotes that I plan to post on my wall. I love reading something inspirational at the start and end of my day. I feel the need to nurture my mind with meaningful thoughts. Some of the my favorites are... 

LISTENING TO
Top 40 Biggest Songs on 2015 in Youtube. Thinking Out Loud by Ed Sheeran is such a craze. I hear it everywhere! Even my father is inlove with it. I fall inlove with love over and over again because of how rich its lyric is. There are days when it is on repeat on my playlist.  I got over Yeng Constantino's Chinito. :)

THINKING
About starting a list of 30 things to do before 30. I know! I'll be turning 30 in about 3 months. It feels weird. :) I do not know why time is always in a hurry. I actually made a list 2 or 3 years ago but some things were just out of my control so they would never happen in less than 3 months. Then I found some cool lists on Pinterest so now I'm thinking of making a new list.

FEELING
Sleepy. It is almost 9 pm. My body clock says it's time to travel to dreamland. 

LOVING

Every minute of my day. I try to always be grateful. I am grateful even for difficult people. They teach me understanding and self-control. Thank You God that all is well. 

NEEDING
To create a post other than this Currently series. :)

WISHING

That carrots would grow on trees instead. 

Currently Vol. 2

Hello there my virtual friends! It turns out that I am finding Sunday afternoons very convenient for  my Currently posts. I hope this becomes a habit. :)

READING
Tuesdays with Morrie, a life-changing book as they say. I started this book months ago but I stopped because I did not want to read something sad and I figured this book was filled with sadness because it talked about death. Reading its synopsis again and hearing good feedbacks from friends, however, made me start all over again. Let's see how this book affects me.

WRITING

Down my expenses everyday since Monday. I've never been very good at keeping track of what I spend my money on but it is never too late to make things right.

LISTENING TO
The sound of the electric fan. My cutie talkative niece just got on her afternoon nap.

THINKING

About Sanchez Peak and the four hours hike to get there. When will I ever get to see you?

via

FEELING
Determined to finish all the things on my to-do list today. I still have six tasks to go. I find this strategy very effective for the procrastinator me. 

LOVING

The Pope's beautiful messages to the Filipino people and the fact that headlines are all good things since he arrived. Well, because all these talk about him. And oh his smile! Two of my favorite messages are...

WANTING
To know how to prepare beautiful balloon bouquets that's so quick and easy. :)

NEEDING
To understand over and over again that overthinking is not so good for the mind and body. :)

WISHING

I was not afraid during those biggest decision making moments...

and wishing I was here...

Currently Vol. 1

Happy New Year friends! I have been vowing to write often, to visit this happy place at least once a week, to document my life so I won't forget my precious moments. Last year, I was a lazy blogger but I hope to be better this year. I think it is not so hard to beat 18 posts. Haha. And I still have the guts to call myself a blogger. But the year is new and everything deserves an nth chance every new year. Thus, here is me forcing myself out of a nap on this very sunny Sunday afternoon to give this blog a little life. 

I am inspired by Krissy's post on her Currently but instead of doing mine on a particular day of the week,  I'm doing it on any day! Today is a Sunday and here's what I'm/I've been....

READING
Miriam Santiago's Stupid is Forever. It's a collection of her "quotable quotes" during her speeches and some other interesting things. Last year was a glorious year for my reading and I plan to be addicted to this hobby. I became a young adult fiction convert. I still don't have a to-read list and I guess that's a good start because this never would have made it to my list. This book is hilarious, full of truth and fun. I adore this Ilongga!

WRITING
Dreams and action plans on a planner that I hope to be filled up to the last page. I am always good at beginnings. :) Now, how to stick to routines up to the last week of the year? Praying that my last year's shattered dream will come true this year. Staying positive! :)

LISTENING TO
And watching The Judge starring Robert Downey, Jr and Robert Duvall, which is now at pause because I am not a multi-tasker. Hihi

THINKING
About the first week of this year which turned out to be so awesome. I never planned it to be such a blast and it turned out to be more than what I expected. Oh, how inlove I am with traveling.

FEELING
Inspired to begin again. There is always something magical about beginnings. Feeling inspired to learn more everyday.

LOVING
The fact that I was not tempted to enter a movie theater yesterday. Hihi. Less movies for me this year. More outdoor fun please!

WANTING
To juice later. I was also good at juicing last year, not consistent but good enough compared to the other year. I hope to discover a green juice recipe that would delight my palate.



Skipped other things but I guess this is enough documentation for today. :)
