where is this sun you speak of?

I never had any cool toys when I was a kid but I am lucky to have a rich 'close' relative so I was actually able to play some. Back then, I never asked my parents to buy me high-tech toys. In fact, I don't remember going to the mall with my parents. We may have but I couldn't remember anything at all. Life was very simple back then. I understand were poor but I know somewhere my parents have saved something for us. I played paper dolls when I'm at home (because I have a lot!), I played PlayStation and other cool stuff when I'm at my cousin's house. It surprises me to realize that I was never really the kind of kid who gets too sad because I can't have what my cousin owned. Back in the days, playing outside with friends was my thing. If you're one of them, you should've known how crazy our childhood were. Also, if you're one of my friends whom I used to play in the village, thank you. :)   But then when I got older, the technology gets...

At the age of 20, we get to realize how old we are. That we need to be more mature at taking responsibilities, making decisions and take situations seriously. This is the time that we don't know how to stop and go. When I have my down time (usually before I go to bed), childhood memories fill up my mind. At some point, I envy my younger self, who seemed to be very cheerful and stress-free. But that doesn't mean I don't like my life at 20. Let me share to you some bits of my life (but you can skip this part): Age 6-9: I get to have simple adventures with friends. We used to walk to and from the church every Sunday afternoon. Played street games in the morning and in the evening, everyday. There were times when we go to the other village by walking along the seashore, rock climbed, and when we reached the other village, we stayed in an old store which solds ice cream. We had ice cream while it rained. Then went back home. It was fun and memorable. I had gone fishi...

One Saturday afternoon in Nova Tierra with Dabuy and Eileen, I wasn't expecting to learn longboarding because I'm very bad at balancing my body on any platform except flat, of course. Just so you know, I don't know how to ride a bike! Anyway, longboarding is fun! I want to learn more. Also, I want to have appropriate shoes next time! Hahaha   It was not in my mind to play because it was only Eileen who is ready for it thus I didn't wear sneakers. That time, I just wanted to take a break from making circuitry for a project at home and chill with these people, watch Eileen learn how to ride with Dabuy's guidance. When Eileen asked me to try, I hesitated but then I gave in anyway. At first, they taught me how to balance. Then, I was (kind of) good to go. I skated with Dabuy's guidance but I think I can say I know how to ride already joke lang hahahaha Look at that chubby girl riding a longboard hahaha it was really fun!  I took this p...

I didn't expect I'd be going back to Maragusan early this year. It has been planned on my mind that after two years, I shall go back to Maragusan and visit the same places I visited on 2009 with the same people. But one Friday morning while having breakfast, my brother asked me if I want to go to Maragusan. I said yes, of course! Just so you know, my brother's work, together with his team, which includes my other brother, is to survey lands and some geodetic stuff so they get to go to different places and sometimes they get free stay in one place. This time, the owner of Haven's Peak is also the owner of the project my brother handles so they get free accommodation in Haven's Peak, which is one of the best places to visit in Maragusan! I got too excited because the first time I got there was two years ago and we didn't really checked-in. We just payed the entrance fee and then took some photos around the area. What's more exciting is the free food, f...

"Video Killed The Radio Star" is one of the songs that reminds me of my childhood days. When I was younger, my brothers used to listen to NU 107 every day. NU 107 is the number one radio station that plays nothing but rock music (kind of sad when it has to disappear on-air). They played this song almost everyday. From then on, it was stuck in my head and it may stay forever. Also, it reminds of me of MTV and MYX. You should know that aside from Nickelodeon, Cartoon Network and Disney Channel, MTV and MYX were one of my favorite channels on cable TV. My childhood was not only more of me playing with friends in school and outside our house but there were times when I am just at home watching TV all day long. I kind of miss the feeling of not worrying about anything. Aaahh, childhood!  Anyway, this is the only song I like from The Buggles. I have listened to some of their songs though but this is just the best.  For me, I think "Video Killed The Radio Star" means...

Hi, This isn't a love letter but it is something I want to tell you. So here it goes... I have been thinking about you lately, usually at night, when I'm about to go to bed. Thoughts of you are the sweetest thing, and I like to end my day to be just like that -- thinking of the sweetest thing. All those moments you smiled, waved and talked at/to me were never forgotten. And as days go by, our chance to meet eye-to-eye gets more exciting thus more moments of you smiling at me; it's harder for me to sleep.  This might be weird to hear but I kind of have this camera in my head that every time we see each other, it automatically snaps a picture of your face and stores in an album which only exists in my mind. I view this album every night, just so you know. I want to know you more but I want you to know me, too. I know, it sounds too harsh. I think because you are nice and I want to share my life story to you. It's creepy, I know. Did you know that I already shared ...
