A Rose and Some Rain

February, the month of cutesy hearts and lovey dovey stuff... except maybe for me. It's always been "the second month of the year" or "Sean's birth month" for me. So yes, I was never the normal one. But I guess any month is always a blessing--I still do have loved ones, after all. And I am more than happy to be alive... and well... and able to rant or "eloquently" blab about things. (yes, I can be conceited sometimes ^_^)

Aaa-ny-way... this post certainly has no direction at all. All I just wanted to do is post some pretty pictures I took this gloomy nippy day. Oh yes, it was a chilly February day. I got to use my kitty-ridden umbrella... and got goosebumps all over my upper limbs from the cold when I got out of the office. It was a cute morning though, despite the overcast weather. I spied some cute colorful umbrellas outside our hall. It made me grin.

And when I got home, I finally remembered to take pictures of the Valentine rose I bought last week... in case I needed to explain at our team dinner why I was wearing sporty clothes when I was supposed to be wearing a "Valentine reminiscent" ensemble. And no, I will not divulge why I was wearing sporty clothes. Thinking about it is embarrassing enough. :P

It was a chilly day, and it still is a chilly evening... my legs have been sporadically sprouting goosebumps as I type the rest of this post... but it was a good day despite the depressing weather. Hope it gets warmer soon.

I am so not looking forward to freezing cold early morning showers. *facepalm*

Getting sunburned in Daanbantayan

I went to this nice resort in Daanbantayan for a weekend trip last month. And no, this is not the island, this is still within the main island of Cebu. Ley and I took the bus. This is not the bus terminal. I took this at one of the pit stops. :P It's been so long since I took the public bus somewhere that I forgot you buy the ticket while the bus is already running, not before you board the bus. Yup, I was a bit of an ignoramus that day, or a really amnesiac person. Haha. Anyways, while we were on the bus, I fell asleep. And since I took the window seat, this was what happened... And it hurt like the dickens!!! :( But the place was lovely. We arrived at the resort around noon. The place was lovely and I couldn't stop taking pictures. :D ... even when the weather got a tad gloomy late that afternoon. When dusk came, I was excited to take some twilight shots, which are among my faves. The next day, Ley and I took more...

Prettily sliced apples, anyone?

A friend just came back from her recent Singapore trip. I was a tad jealous because I couldn't afford to go myself but she brought me something from the Merlion City that I couldn't resist grinning when I heard about it. It's a trinket I've been wanting to have ever since I spied one in IKEA SG a few months ago. Yup, I'm a collector of nonsensical--but cute--trinkets. I was whopping when she sent me a message that she was able to find me one. It's not actually the one from IKEA but it's lovely nonetheless. IMO, it's prettier than the one I saw. Haha. And now I couldn't help but use it whenever I can, which would be every few hours--if I had any say about it. :P Danke schoen, Donabel schön! I simply adore it! :D

The Real Deal about Truth and Freedom

For the past few weeks, I have been fortunate enough to stick to the routine of reading a verse from the Bible every morning and reflecting on its message. It has been wonderfully enlightening, to say the least. Last Wednesday, this was the verse that greeted me when I opened my Bible app... If the son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed. ~ John 8:36 To say that I was stunned is an understatement... but then, I shouldn't have been. Ever since I can remember, whenever I'm struggling with some ethical or moral dilemma, I always get an epiphany of the answer. In my youthful pride, I thought "Wow, I'm brilliant." Not knowing it was not actually me but God who was guiding me to the answers. It took me a while to realize this and thankfully when I became an adult, I did. This time was one of them. You see, I was struggling. Four months and still counting, my father and I have been forced to endure each other's company for weeks on end. Outsid...
