Batch 1 of Earring Collection

Just like what I said... I'm going to post my earring collection... and I think today is the right date for this! :) Well, my earrings may not seem to be that super expensive or that super cool but each of them has its own unique story how I got them. I may be too sentimental about my so-called collection but that is the exact reason why I take good care of them.

This is my first batch of pictures... I won't post the other sets yet... not until I wore them all... hehe... Most of my fave earrings are from F21 and Mags. They sell cute and unique earrings that I just can't resist! 

I wore this during the 2012 Sinulog Festival in Cebu.

This is my most favorite earrings. I almost lost this one and the flower fell so many times but I was so lucky that I was able to find it... Wew! Anyways, I really wanted to blog more about anything but as of now, especially this month, I'm just so busy and I have a lot of things to do... So, I think my blog is only until here... I'm sorry... if only there's a lot of time... huhu... but I'll try to blog more next time... Just don't forget to Reis Your Heart and keep life moving...

The One and Only Items From Online Shops!

At first, I was very hesitant to buy items online or to shop through the net. I was thinking,... what if I won't receive the items and all the money I paid will go to the ocean???... (oh well) Being so paranoid about those crazy events that might happen to the packages... Ahahahaha but then... One time, there was this item online and I just can't help it! It's too affordable plus very unique. It gives me the feeling that if I buy them, I would be the only person who will own and possess that One and Only Item!!! Hahahaha... What a lunatic, right?! Wew! hehehe... Because of my love for earrings, my desire to possess the item became so strong that...  I ended up... OK, fine! I'm going to purchase it! And so, the next day, I sent messages to the seller regarding the product. 

I don't know but I felt so sure and confident at that time. And luckily, everything went as planned. I received the item just before I left for my trip to Guimaras Islands... :) My heart was filled with so much joy because I have a new accessory to wear and the good thing is it's waterproof and good for swimming activities and island hopping! Hahaha... They are neon rubber danglings and I have never seen it in any shop in Bacolod City nor in Cebu, that's why I was so sure to buy it! Not only that, I only ordered one but I received two items and both were so lovely that I'm taking good care of these set in my earring collection??? hehehehe... I'll try to post my earring collection next time. :)

This is the first time I purchased online and the second time, I got my package yesterday! It was another set of neon accessories and again I got a new freebie... :) Thank you so much Online Shops! You make every girl's crazy imagination come true...(if some things are really not easy to find and buy in their hometown... you know... hehehe... :))

This is the package I received yesterday... hehehe... I won't tell you what's in it yet... hehe... just wait and see when I'm already done using the accessories hehehe... Anyways,... this day is all about risking. If you wont take risks, you will never know what tomorrow has for you... So Reis Your Heart out and always be ready to take some challenges in life! :)

More Hopes Please...

I would wake up everyday with the hopes of a happy and fruitful day... Though, I know my day won't be as perfect as it may seem but I still have the positive thought that atleast it will be remarkable and something new or different...

We went to Tops, known as one of Cebu's highest points and tourist attraction, last year. It was an unplanned tour but we had so much fun and we got so tired because we didn't sleep just to see the sunrise. It was so cold but the view was so breath-taking and worth the trip. From total darkness to sunrise... the changing of the colors is so beautiful that words are not enough to describe it. God is so good to create such wonder and that day made me think of my dreams and my supposedly life in the future.

These photos were taken from my sister's camera and though they may not be that good and it may not explain how grateful I am to see such magnificent view, still for me, this is worth my day. The lights of the city were like golds and diamonds sparkling... I want to touch them and hold them but of course it's impossible... just like our dreams... sparkling like diamonds... impossible to hold and touch but we can only see ourselves reaching it as we feel the happiness and unexplainable feeling it gives...

Today, I feel the desire to reach my dreams... I want to move even just one step at a time though sometimes I want to quit and forget about it because I'm getting tired and worn out already but I can't.... I just can't. What keeps me going on everyday is the goal to reach it so I just can't stop here. I have to exert more effort if I must. I know that one of my purposes in life is to reach it. I can feel that I can do it... So my dear friends... never surrender if you feel you can still do it... Ask a sign from above. If it is for you and if God wills it then It is... so Reis Your Heart and God bless!

Too Much Pain in my Heart :(

We still smile though it really hurts deep inside our hearts... Maybe its pure human nature that we don't want others to see us unhappy... so that they won't get affected by the negative energy emitted from our emotions... Some don't want others to pity them that's why they would rather choose to keep their feelings.

Sometimes, we would rather choose to run away from all of the troubles and discomfort of the world... but... it's no use... Instead of  making us feel better it makes us even more paranoid and even makes our worries bigger... What we need is a break from this state of mind.

That's why it's always good to travel and relax. Set your mind free from stress and all the troubles the world can give... Let's put all of the problems away and let God take care of them... It can never be considered as a problem if it has no solution... Just pray... Meditate and ask God for guidance... Prayer can heal all the negative vibrations away...

And even in our happiest moments,... we should also never forget to thank Him... whether it is a blessing of family, friendship, love, career, good health and achieving your goals.... That's why I feel so sad lately. I am so sorry because sometimes when I become so Happy I tend to forget Him though He never forgets me. I feel the pain in my heart as I think of the times I have failed Him... This day is for You. I am blogging and sharing this because I know you too might have felt the same or might have done the same... So Reis Your Heart out and start thanking Him and ask for forgiveness... Why do it tomorrow if you can do it now? 

Cave Girl!

Stalactites and Stalagmites... Clear Fresh Water... Calmness and Darkness... Serenity... CAVES...

Caves are totally amazing... Though some people are afraid of caves because it's dark and it's mysterious... Still, we cannot deny the fact that caves are beautiful...

One of the nicest caves I went to is in Camotes Island. I love the clear, cold fresh water and the miraculous and mysterious feeling it radiates in the place...

I also took some photos of the parts of the cave that really looked so scary... hahaha... well... scary in my own perspective... hehe...

I'm sorry I'm not really that specific in this portion of my adventure... Maybe next time, if I have more time to blog, I will share more photos to you and also more words... hehe... I'm really sorry and I hope you forgive me for still publishing this blog... Though, I don't have enough time today... Still, I hope, you would never forget to Reis Your Heart out and explore more caves in our country... We are so lucky that Philippines is rich in natural resources and wonders...

One, Two, Three... same YOU!

Sorry, I missed blogging my whereabouts these past few days... I went home (to Bacolod City) and took a grand vacay... hahaha... well... not really... I went to the dentist for the removal of my braces.

I had braces for more than 4 years and I think NOW is the right time to say GOODBYE! Wew! Actually, I had crooked teeth and I had super low self-esteem because of that... I carried that bad ego with me from grade school to high school... I thought my life will forever be like UGLY DUCKLING or I'll forever be a FROG... But thanks to Dentistry! Now, I have a more comfortable life with... (well) retainers for 2-3 months before having a life free from metal touches... Atleast... They're removable...

Life with a crooked teeth was not easy... (Good thing, I was able to save a pic with my crooked teeth though... in this photo... it's not really that obvious...) I never smiled showing my teeth though I really want to... I felt so shy and so ugly thus lowering my self confidence... Still, I focused on my studies despite the self-pity emotions I had. I always put in mind the quote "Beauty and Brains". I was thinking... If I can never be BEAUTY then atleast I can be BRAINS...

I was so skinny and I focused so much in my studies that I forgot to value my time. I seldom bond with my friends unlike an ordinary teen would. That's why I missed a lot of fun and experiences in high school. Though, if given a chance to change everything... Still, I won't undo a thing... they all happen for a reason... and maybe this happened to me to make me realize how important friends are, how every second of your time should not be wasted, how others look at you and think about you is never really important, how the pressure from the society never really marks your life (actually, it just makes you act and feel like a paranoid freak if you would really give in to the influence of the community)... 

(Whatever other says, don't mind them. Just be the confident YOU... like as if no one's watching.)

I'm not saying the community is bad but what you do to your life matters. What you do makes you, molds you as a person and will lead you to your goals and dreams... We all tend to have that feeling like as if that someone might think like this or like that about us but... the truth is... no one really cares... Even if you soaked yourself in mud... maybe they will see you and laugh at you and SO? So what? Will it change the fact of what just happened to you?! No it won't! And once it's already done, it's done! Forget about it! And if you see your audience again and they laugh at you... So what again? Still there would be no changes... You are not an actress playing a main role in a movie nor a teleserye... unless you are really a famous actress like Anne Curtis... maybe that's the time where in you guard your actions from the public and the paparazzi but YOU are YOU and no matter what they say about you.... nothing will change...YOU WILL STILL BE YOU...

Do what your heart says... but always take note of the limitations of life... Before you Reis Your Heart out, be sure that you are ready to take the responsibilities of your actions... Take Care!

The City of Smiles: My Hometown

It's my Dad's Birthday TODAY but I'm not at home... I just called my Mom... And maybe we are going to celebrate it this Friday... I'm blogging now because maybe I wont be able to do it by tomorrow cause of the GOING HOME effect... Wew! I sure miss my City... The City of Smiles... :)

I was born in Bacolod City and its known for its Masskara Festival and Sugarcane Industry. We have a nice history regarding this festival of ours which is celebrated every October. We also have Bacolaudiat Festival which was later formed by the Fil-Chi community in our city and is celebrated every January or February depending on the month the Chinese New Year falls. Panaad Festival which is a combination of all Festivals held in the municipalities and other cities of Negros Occidental is also another festival celebrated every April in our city.

Last year, I was able to have a short vacation leave besides our hectic schedule and so I went back to my hometown and celebrate the Masskara Festival together with the Supahfrends.

I was able to visit our Government Center and took some photos with the Giant Paper Boats floating in the fountain. These were made by Famous Creative People in our City

.

One of the cutest Paper Boats I so loved is this... The one with lovers... hehe... Truly Creative...
So why don't you come and try to visit Bacolod City, The City of Smiles. You will surely enjoy and be accommodated by friendly and hospitable people wearing their best smiles...

It's always best to visit and travel especially during festivals and grand events... so don't wait till the festival already ended and Reis Your Heart out and Go! Enjoy Life!!!
