personal thoughts...

It's sad to see when a person whom you thought would be honest with you would lie to your face over something so irrelevant. And here you thought your friendship was deeper than that. Guess what. You were wrong. She lied.

Hey you, ponder over what's important in life.. if you're really honest with yourself then maybe you'd learn to be honest with others as well. Maybe you'll stop finding other people's faults and concentrate on fixing your own... Stop psychoanalyzing me and analyze yourself.

To be the better person and just let things be. To find happiness with people you least expect..

To finally be in a place where you just stop trying and caring about what other people will think and say...

To start pleasing yourself and not others...

And when a friend lies to you, to try and understand the reasons behind that lie...

....just some realizations and lessons that i've learned over the past week... I guess 2010 is my year wisdom and understanding... :)

hair color ad? haha

Princess, me, Nicolette, Phem

These are some of the people i 'grew up' with.. what with being 16 and entering a world that was different from what i was brought up in, they served as my ''ate's'', my friends, my guardians, my partners-in-crime.. Modeling was not an easy job, but they made it 'easier' for me...

We're all doing other things now,, Phem and I crossed over to the showbiz industry while Princess and Nicolette are both F.A.'s... but every once in a while, especially when those who are based in other countries are in town, we get together and bond.. just like the old days :)


(p.s. too bad Rissa wasnt there when we took the photo!! She's also my 'Ate'!)

look what i found!

Lessons on Love

Sometimes, in our incessant efforts to find the person we love, we fail to see and appreciate the people who love us. We would miss out on so many wonderful things simply because we allow ourselves to be enslaved by our own selfish concerns. We keep on looking so far away when all we needed to do was look behind us.

They say that one will find rewarding happiness not with the the man she loves but with the man who loves her more. To "go for the man of deeds and not for the man of words". I believe that the best lovers are those who are capable of loving from a distance --far enough to allow the other person to grow, but never too far to feel the love within your being.

When you let someone go, it doesnt necessarily mean you have to stop loving that person. It only means that you're allowing that person to find his/her own happiness without expecting him/her to come back. To let go is not just setting that other person free, but yourself as well --- you are setting yourself free from all the bitterness, hatred, and anger that you may keep in your heart.

Bitterness may rare away your strength and weaken your faith. The experience of pain may dishearten you, but you shouldnt allow that. Instead, it should let you grow in wisdom bearing it. Pain will only make us stronger, wiser.

Sometimes, we'd think that we have found peace in just loving someone from a distance not expecting anything in return. But though this can sustain life, it can never give us enough room to grow. We tend to be stuck in the past that we sometimes end up losing ourselves. We can all survive with just beautiful memories of the past but then again, real peace and happiness will only come once we've accepted of what reality is today.

Then there comes a time in our lives when we chance upon someone we get so intensely attracted to. This attraction soon becomes part of our daily lives and eventually consumes our thoughts and our actions. The sad part of it is when we begin to realize that this person feels nothing for us and all they can offer is a platonic relationship. We start our desperate attempts to get noticed and be closer but in the end, all our efforts are unrewarded and we end up just feeling sorry for ourselves.

One doesnt really need to forget someone he/she has fallen for. What is needed though, is to learn to accept reality without being bitter or sorry for yourself. Trust me, you would be better off giving that dedication and love to someone MORE DESERVING. Dont let your heart run your life. Ive made that mistake before. We should learn to be sensible and let our minds speak for itself. Listen not only to your feelings but to reason as well... you'd be surprised at how irratinal one is when letting emotions run her life.

Always keep in mind that if you lose someone today, it only means that someone better is coming tomorrow. Or next week. Or next year. Who knows? Be patient. It will come. If you lose love, it doesnt mean that you failed in love. CRY is you have to. Cry til your eyes run dry but make sure all those tears wash away all the hurt, the hate and the bitterness that the past has left with you.. Let go of yesterday and love will find its way back to you. And when it does, pray that it may be the love that will stay and last a lifetime.

as for me, I'm still waiting.... but i know that when HE comes, everything will be worth it. :)

almost 8 years ago...

Shot on the first week of April in 2002... a week after i graduated from highschool --which meant i was allowed to do tvc's already since school didnt really allow modelling (all the runway and print work i did were takas. haha)

funny how most of us in this tvc are still intouch and hangout from time to time :)

it's been a long time since this tvc... it's just so much fun looking back tho...Duckie, Bianca & I with Parokya ni Edgar

since embedding of the video isnt allowed, here's the link to the TVC:

The Tides

yet another post that has been long overdue...

Last month, The Tides Boracay flew us in for their 2nd Anniversary party.. Since we had prior commitments, we had to fly in on the second day of the festivities and fly out the next day..

i had such a blast from my breakfast in Real Coffee (as always), walking from station 2 to 1 and back then sunbathing and swimming for more than an hour before heading back to the hotel to sunbathe and swim even more, participated in Yoga Trance Dance, and ofcourse, celebrate with everyone the Tides Anniversary.. it was such a fun weekend indeed :)

Thanks, Tides!! :)

some of the Tides partners:
Stephen Ku, Eric Cua, GP Reyes, Fernando Aracama & Tim Yap



Mond & I were actually in their opening too! :) so it was more of a reunion of sorts..

Stephen, myself, Erwan, Mond & our mojitos :)
