Last December 30, 2015, we went to Bali, Indonesia! :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Haha. Just kidding. We actually went to Cintai Corito's Garden to celebrate my dad's birthday. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It was a lovely experience. I really did feel like I was in Bali. The place is serene. The staff is very accommodating. The ambiance is comforting. The air is fresh. Come here if you would like a getaway from the fast paced and smog filled city. It is surely a great place to go if you want to relax and can't afford yet to go to Indonesia and the likes.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Just listen to what their <a href="http://coritosgarden.com/" target="_blank">website</a> said: "<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.952941); color: #534741; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 21px;">Feel revitalized instantly as we cocoon you in a haven of restful tranquility. The 18 villas at our resort accommodation in Batangas are amply equipped to be pleasing to the senses, from the clean, plush beds to the tasteful yet unobtrusive decor. These exclusive spaces are complemented by select conveniences that will envelope you in blissful satisfaction: a restaurant, bar, playground, 2 pavilions for various events, and 4 swimming pools of different sizes. Located in Sitio Pandayan, Cintai Corito’s Garden is truly a peerless retreat in Batangas." (If you want to know about their rates and availability, you can find them <a href="http://reservations.directwithhotels.com/reservation/selectDates/18500/" target="_blank">here</a>."</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

You will leave homes, cities, and countries to pursue grander ambitions. You will leave friends, lovers, and possibilities for the chance to roam the world and make deeper connections. You will defy your fear of change, hold your head high, and do what you once thought was unthinkable: walk away. And it will be scary at first. But, what I hope you'll find in the end is that in leaving, you don't just find love, adventure, or freedom. More than anything, you find you."</i></span></blockquote>

These words are not mine, I just found them on social media without proper credit. If any of you know who said these words, kindly inform me, for I have been inspired by that someone.<br />
<br />
2015 is almost over. I'm getting older. Next year, I'm about to take a huge leap of faith. Next year, I'm finally going to focus on my passions and pursue my ambitions. I want to grow old without regrets of not knowing what could have been. It's going to take a lot of courage and hard work, but I know that I can do it. Hopefully, someday I can inspire other people too.<br />

*<span style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.32px;">I spent a different kind of Christmas this year. I spent it with men and women who are willing to sacrifice their lives for their country. Men and women whose definition of "Merry" Christmas is knowing that their families and other Filipino families are safe in their homes this Christmas and enjoying great food and beautiful Christmas carols. This is the most humble noche buena I've ever had. After a quick feast, back to work.</span><br />

I'm trying Polyvore out. I know, it took me years to finally realize that I could use Polyvore to make outfit sets. I used to just draw what I would want to wear, this time, I'm going to make these sets. Plus! I'm going to share them with everyone, in case you like my kind of personal style. *fingers crossed that you do* *wink*<br />

I dream of living in a society wherein no one would judge me based solely on the clothes I wear, the music I listen to, the food I eat, the places I go to, and the friends I choose. I dream of looking forward to each and every tomorrow. I dream of loving immensely and being loved just as much. I dream of having absolutely no limitations. I dream of not having the insecurities I have now. I dream of being able to consider my own happiness first. I dream of being me without all the restrictions imposed by the people around me...and my own self.</span></span></h1>

<span style="text-align: center;">(I spent last few weekends with my family and friends. Ever since I started working, I realized how much valuable time is. Living away from your family and friends, and rarely getting rest days or holiday offs, makes you realize just how quickly time slips away. I am often wishing for more. Back when I was in college, I used to think there's so much time for everything. I believe I wasted much of the time I have here on earth on random unimportant things. The realizations came late, but I'm making sure I don't waste any more of it. I'm going to spend as much time as I can with my loved ones. I'm going to explore the world and myself. I'm going to focus my energy on things I love and things I'm good at, so that I could make the most of whatever talent I have. I'm going to erase the limitations that I imposed on myself and start reaching for my dreams. I'm going to stop trying to please everybody, especially the ones who don't really matter. I'm going to start believing in myself more.)</span><br />

First Stop: Ferdinand Marcos <span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 14.6545457839966px;">Marcos Museum and Mausoleum</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 14.6545457839966px;"> in Batac City.</span></div>

Some people say he is the best President that the Philippines has ever had, although some also disagree because of past occurrences during his regime. I, for one, think that setting aside the awful events, he did great things. It's like how Mr. Olivander described Voldemort from Harry Potter; "He did great things, evil yes, but great."</span></span></span></div>

Now, I would love to share this fun fact that I learned from the Museum. Ferdinand and Imelda had an 11 day Romance. What's that you may ask? Well, to quote what I've read in the museum:</span></span></span></div>

<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="text-align: center;">
<div class="MsoNormal">
"It was a Tuesday, April 6, 1954. Ferdinand Marcos had just
critiqued the passing of an omnibus budget bill. But something more momentous
was about to happen. That same evening, the Solon will finally meet his muse.
Instructed by her cousin, House Speaker Daniel Romualdez, Imelda and her
cousin-in-law waited in the plenary while watching the fiery exchange of
arguments. Later, they decided to wait in the cafeteria. After the plenary,
Ferdinand went to the cafeteria and when he entered and saw Imelda, it was as
if he was hit by temporary paralysis. He stood motionless staring at her. When
they were finally introduced, he candidly asked her to stand up. Imelda stood
up gracefully, regal, despite wearing just a housedress and slippers. This
began Ferdinand’s ardent campaign to woo her. He followed Imelda when she went
to Baguio with three of her wards to the Romualdez’ summer mansion for the
Lenten holiday. The cold breeze and the mountain pines became witnesses to this
budding romance. It was a well-orchestrated ensemble – a most opportune moment
for the ‘Golden Voice of the North’ to get to know the ‘Rose of Tacloban’
better. With the audacity og a smitten man, Ferdinand presented her a marriage
license for her signature. Fortunately, she acquiesced. They drove to Trinidad
Valley for their civil wedding on the same day. After roughly 11 days of
courtship, Imelda and Ferdinand went back to Manila as Mr. and Mrs. Marcos."</div>

Lovely, right? It's like they had a fairy tale love story. I would love to have that too, but right now I'm kind of married to my job as a Microbiologist. I don't have a love life, yet. But, I do have a Lab life. ei? ei? haha ok, I'll stop the jokes.<br />

Everyone knows that Imelda lived a lavish lifestyle. When you say Imelda, almost everyone thinks about shoes. I couldn't blame you. If I had that many shoes, I'd die and go to heaven then ask to be returned to my shoe heaven.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Aside from shoes, Imelda also had a lot of beautifully crafted Mestiza dresses; something she made very popular.</div>

This you have GOT to try if you ever visit Ilocos Norte! The heat is intense (have water prepared), but riding these 4x4s is extremely fun and exhilarating. We only availed the 30 minute ride, not the 1 hour ride. We were glad we did, because I don't think I could take another 30 minutes. I felt like my heart jumped out of my chest during one of the higher drops. It was like a roller coaster, without the seat belts. I regret not wearing the right gear for this adventure. My shoes killed me. I had sneakers on, but they didn't hold on to the floor enough while I was standing at the back of the 4x4 holding on to my life. Hahaha. Ok, I'm not making this sound good, right? But, I swear it is! I would do it again in a heart beat, that is if my heart would stay inside my chest. Just take my tips. If you're going there, be prepared. Have water with you, and wear the right gear. After this adventure, I told myself I would have to buy shoes for everything. I have hiking shoes, and sneakers, and now I think need other sporty shoes. Good thing that even if I have a busy sched, there are lots online. Just check out <a href="http://www.zalora.com.ph/reebok/" target="_blank">these babies</a> (ZALORA also has a good selection of <a href="http://www.zalora.com.ph/reebok/" target="_blank">exercise clothing</a> aside from the shoes) and <a href="http://shop.adidas.com.ph/women/shoes/neo.html" target="_blank">these other babies</a> (Adidas has great shoes. I've always been a fan. My first toddler shoes were adidas. haha)! Awesome right?</div>

The Malacanang of the North is the official residence of Marcos. It is actually a gift from Imelda to her husband. After the removal of President Marcos from power, the government took legal possession of the property, and the mansion now serves as a museum.</div>

A trip to the past.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The past may be the past, but memories, good or bad, they often do last. People were never meant to stay in the past, but who said we weren't allowed to look back? The past is beautiful. That's what I think. Most of our lives are spent on missing. We miss people we've let go, pets we've had, places we've been, situations we've encountered, and friends who've drifted away. Everything from the past contributed to who and what we are now in the present. Even mishaps, especially mishaps. Because I believe, bad things don't happen to good people. Good people were made by going through bad things.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Now, let me tell you what made me go into thinking about past and present. Well, you see, I was rummaging through my photos and I stumbled upon these.</div>

Last January, me and my family went on a trip to the North. The following are a few photos from my trip to Vigan. I purposely post processed the photos to look aged. That way, I can also take you on that trip to the past somehow. </div>

Vigan City is the capital of Ilocos Sur here in the Philippines. It is one of the few cities in the Philippines that is considered a Hispanic town. It is a World Heritage Site and is officially one of the New 7 Wonders Cities.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here, effort is given to preserve the historical architecture. Lovely.</div>

Here's a trivia: The name Vigan was actually from "Bee Gan (<span style="background-color: white; color: #252525; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.3999996185303px;">美岸)</span>". Chinese settlers gave the city that name which means "Beautiful Shore". It became Vigan, because Spanish conquistadors spelled it that way.</div>

The time of the Spanish colonization in the Philippines wasn't exactly a pleasant experience for the natives, however, they did give us the religion that until now brings Filipinos together. I opted not to delve deeper into the facts of the Spanish colonial period in the Philippines, because it could be a sensitive issue to some. So, allow me to just note that I absolutely love the architectural ideas and aesthetics that they have contributed. Also, if it weren't for the Spanish people, I wouldn't be here now. I'm Filipino, but I do have Spanish Ancestry. That's why my middle name is Verzosa. It came from Don Mauro Verzosa, who migrated from Spain to the Philippines.</div>

I have always been a lover of poetry, and this song is very much like an amazing piece of poetry to me. It is Blue Spotted Tail by Fleet Foxes. If you have not heard of the song yet, I have made a cover of it to give you and idea. *wink<br />

<br />
The lyrics are quite short and simple, yet it renders a huge impact on me. I find beauty in its simplicity. Some may say that the song is sad, but I do not think it is so. It does make you ponder on a lot of things about life and meaning. I say, it is a meaningful song that, ironically, questions if life and everything we do is meaningless. "Why is life made only for to end? Why do I do all this waiting then? Why this frightened part of me that's fated to pretend?.." I believe there are questions that are meant to be left unanswered. The questions in this song are just a few. But, if I have to answer whether or not everything we do in life is meaningless, I would say, it could be both. The beauty of being human is that we are all given the right to choose whatever we want to believe. If you believe that living our lives is meaningless, or if you believe every little thing you do is meaningful, then so be it. Because, honestly, we do not know who and what is true. I do, however, believe that everything I do in my life is and should be meaningful. I could be a mere speck in the vastness of the universe, but I'd like to believe that every move I make has an effect, even if it's not significantly great, on everything from the time I made my choices. Having said that, we have that choice to make our lives and everything we do, meaningful.<br />

Life is like a roller coaster. It has its ups and downs, heck, it even has spins. I would have said that it is also like a Ferris Wheel, but I realized life does not run slow. It is swift, so we are always told we should make the most of it before the ride ends.<br />
<br />
Mitch Albom wrote in his book, The Time Keeper,<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;">“Try to imagine a life without timekeeping. You probably can’t. You know the month, the year, the day of the week. There is a clock on your wall or the dashboard of your car. You have a schedule, a calendar, a time for dinner or a movie. Yet all around you, timekeeping is ignored. Birds are not late. A dog does not check its watch. Deer do not fret over passing birthdays. an alone measures time. Man alone chimes the hour. And, because of this, man alone suffers a paralyzing fear that no other creature endures. A fear of time running out.”</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;"> </span></blockquote>
<br />
Honestly, I don't fear time running out. I fear not being able to do enough to live my life to the fullest before time runs out. Lately, I have been trying to balance out my personal life and my career. I take pride in the work I do, and at the same time have a happy fulfilling life. I want to find myself spending quality time with family and friends, encountering a possible significant other, and doing the things I love; singing, reading, writing, taking photos, traveling, going on random road trips, and all that there is in my seemingly unending list of things I love doing and would love to do.<br />
<br />
I recently met an amazing person. I guess I could only hope to be like a female version of him somehow. Just when I was starting to feel like I have become alone in my own little world of realism mixed with a tad bit more idealism and fantasy, I found someone who completely understands me. Once again, I realized I love the way I am, and that fitting in with most of the crowd is quite boring. I feel I was not meant to blend with the background.<br />
I feel a lot better now. In fact, I feel so much better that I have started writing again, and singing feels, well, less superficial. I found meaning to lyrics once more. Thus, I can conclude with much confidence that I am once again, inspired.<br />
<br />
Maybe, my roller coaster is in the "climbing up" stage right now. I could only hope it never goes down again, or if that is inevitable, I wish it would do so as slowly as possible.<br />
<br />
In line with that though, I'm going to try even harder to make the most of my life. I have been receiving plenty of blessings. I feel I should and MUST pay it forward.<br />
<br />
I'm measuring time not by numbers, but by the things I do while I still have it.Janine Ramoshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08483283554526956331noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6882099193145912756.post-48932682845361931642014-12-25T08:22:00.001-08:002014-12-25T08:22:34.687-08:00Santa Baby<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Going to New York Fashion Week or London Fashion Week, for now that is in my super wishful bucket list. What is keeping me from going? Lack of time and money. Ok, mostly money. haha. People say if you want it, nothing would stop you. But hey, I'm a fresh grad thousands of miles away from London and New York and expected to work 6 days a week inside a microbiology laboratory (meaning 6 days a week in a lab gown). Give this girl a break. haha. I'm saving up though. I'll be there soon. I'll be going places. You'll see. *wink*</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Anyways, IF I did have the awesome opportunity of going to the recent fashion week, I would have worn this:</div>

I'm not really sure what my style is. However, I do know that I love vintage, a little bit of edgy, and having that extra something. So maybe, that's my style?</div>

As usual, this thrift queen is wearing thrifted stuff. Believe it or not, my boots cost only 7 USD and my dress costs only around 8 USD. As for the hat I'm wearing, I can't remember how much it costs, but I do remember I bought it when I was 12 years old at a garage sale in Australia.</div>

Another hiatus yet again, I'm so sorry everyone. :(</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm also sorry for the lack of insightful write ups currently. It has been crazy for me these past few weeks. Here's a breakdown:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1. I got featured in Candy Magazine's website. <a href="http://www.candymag.com/fashion/style-files-ria-ramos/"><span style="color: #e06666;">http://www.candymag.com/fashion/style-files-ria-ramos/</span></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
2. My brother got Chicken pox from his classmate.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
3. I GOT CHICKEN POX FROM MY BROTHER and had to be absent from work for almost 3 weeks!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
4. I am big part Filipino, small part Spanish, and small part Chinese. I am now embracing the Chinese blood flowing through my veins and dyed my hair black.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
5. God said "I'll give you a new job!"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
6. Finally cleaned ad organized my jungle of a room. I'll blog about it soon.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
7. Since I gave my brother a Les Miserables book (he loves the classics), he bought me Haruki Murakami's 1Q84. Sibling love.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
8. I recorded a cover of "The Moon Song by Karen O". I heard it from the movie "Her". I fell in love. Please press the play button below. I hope you'd like my cover. :) *fingers crossed*</div>

P.S. About what I'm wearing, as usual, it's "Look for Less". My wedges cost only 280 pesos. My lace top is thrifted. It costs only 20 pesos!</div>

<br />
Just a few minutes ago, I turned 23. I don't feel old really, and getting older really does not bother me. Now, I just feel like I am getting to a point wherein I am getting to know myself more and more. Although.. for some reason, everyday I have this feeling that I have to do something greater with my life. It's this feeling I try my hardest to understand. I thirst for something, yet I don't quite understand what I am thirsting for. Do I thirst for fame, knowledge, fortune, compassion, means to just help, means to just travel, or knowing the real me?...or do I thirst for every single one of those including some I have not thought about yet. It becomes more and more discomforting each day that I don't get to quench this vague thirst I have.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #141823; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, lucida grande, tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;">In line with my seemingly unending thoughts regarding my life, I've come up with a short list of my birthday resolutions.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #141823; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, lucida grande, tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #141823; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, lucida grande, tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;">1. Give up trying to please everyone. The only person you need to prioritize for pleasing is yourself.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #141823; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, lucida grande, tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #141823; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, lucida grande, tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;">2. There's no such thing as "I have no time.." Time is given in generous amounts. Each of us gets 24 hours each day. What you don't have is the ability to manage it well.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #141823; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, lucida grande, tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #141823; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, lucida grande, tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;">3. Nobody ever said you can only be one thing. No one said you should be good at one specific matter and one specific matter only. I can talk in depth about microbiology and chemistry, while also singing, playing instruments, and creating artworks. I can blog about my personal style and about life.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #141823; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, lucida grande, tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #141823; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, lucida grande, tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;">4. Life does not suck. Your outlook in life does. Take a moment to reflect and be a better person.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #141823; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, lucida grande, tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #141823; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, lucida grande, tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;">5. Goals in life are meant to motivate you and keep your life exciting; not to make you sulk in one corner when you feel like you can't achieve them. If you haven't achieved your goals, you're just not trying hard enough. Keep going.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #141823; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, lucida grande, tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #141823; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, lucida grande, tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;">6. Crying over the same matters is </span><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;">nonintellectual aka "stupid". Cry only once per matter. Have your head held high the second time around.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #141823; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, lucida grande, tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #141823; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, lucida grande, tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;">7. Love is like a stubborn kid. It's cute and at the same time, a real pain in the buttocks. Even so, you still take care of it and keep it close, because you don't want anything bad to happen to it and you don't want to lose it. Why? 'Cause it's love. It's rational and irrational at the same time.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #141823; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, lucida grande, tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #141823; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, lucida grande, tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;">8. Have more time for yourself. When was the last time you asked yourself "How are you?"</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #141823; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, lucida grande, tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #141823; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, lucida grande, tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;">9. Never trust anyone easily. Years of knowing the person doesn't give him/her an "I trust you completely" ticket. In fact, sometimes the people you've just recently met are more trustworthy than people you've known for such a long time.</span></span><br />

Do everything you can while you still can do it. Leave no room for regrets. I was once invited to sing and audition for a show in Australia. I wasn't able to audition. I missed that chance and it haunts me til now.</span></span><br />

I have always been a lover of coffee shops. No, not really Starbucks (even if I do go there and to Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf for my matcha green tea) and all those other coffee shops that most people go to because (1) bandwagon effect *cough J.Co cough* no offense *smiles cutely in case J.Co owner sees this post* (2) it makes them look sosyal *selfie with the SB logo*</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here's the thing...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
In my opinion, a coffee shop should be cozy, comfy, and peaceful. It is a must that when I open the door, it smells like roasted coffee beans and not smoke from smokers and cars outside. When I come in I want to hear coffee shop music and not the irritating mixture of noise from each table, because for some reason, everyone thinks it's proper to talk loudly while inside..hmmm.. or maybe they're just unaware that there are other people around trying to enjoy their coffee and a good book? (By the way, I am talking about real coffee shop music, e.g., Breaking by Christopher Jak and Sinner's Sonnet by Andrew Whitman. I go to coffeehouses to study or relax. I didn't come to party.)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
So far, because of it's rarity, I have found only a handful of my preferred places for coffee and Cafe Antonio Los Banos is at the very top of that list. I don't think I can say anything bad about it really. It is my ideal coffeehouse; amazing ambiance, great coffee, delicious food, good music, and even greater people. That is precisely the reason why even if I've already graduated and I don't live near it anymore, I still come back to Los Banos just to have the Cafe Antonio experience I love. Heck I am not even sure I should be blogging about this, it's good for the cafe's business, but I don't really want it to have soooo many people and be like Starbucks. I kinda wanna be selfish about it. mine! all mine! haha :p</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Anyways, from here on, I'll let the photos do their thing. Oh! and play the music for that coffeehouse mood. haha. toodles! ~ Janine</div>

4. I am a total weirdo/dork, but you'd only get to see that if we're very close.<br />
5. I am only 5 feet tall and let me tell you, being petite doesn't limit someone. You have to know you are beyond beautiful and you can look like a model still. Stand proud and be confident.<br />
6. I have a pet dog. A Japanese Spitz named Jolo. He thinks I'm a younger puppy and bites me. HAHA<br />
7. I love music. I used to play the clarinet. I now play the guitar, and I have been practicing and studying the piano and violin. I also love to sing. I sing A LOT.<br />
8. Most of my clothes are either hand me downs from my mom or bought from thrift shops/random brand stores. If I happen to wear Zara, H&M, etc., you gotta know the items were given to me as gifts.<br />
9. I have this dream of being able to help other people, especially children. I am still figuring out a way to be able to help more people. I am preparing and planning to sponsor a child by giving 600 pesos every month to provide him, families, and his community with nutritious food, clean water, education, health care, livelihood opportunities, and more. World Vision can make that happen. If you want to help too, that would be amazing. Here is the link: <a href="http://www.worldvision.org.ph/sponsor-child/#"><span style="color: #e06666;">http://www.worldvision.org.ph/sponsor-child/#</span></a><br />
10. I would love to settle in Verona someday.<br />
11. Like almost everyone else, I want to travel the world. I would want to blog about every country I go to; their culture, the people, the food, everything.<br />

Answers to BumbleBri's 11 Questions:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
1. Why did you decide to start a blog?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
- I decided to start a blog when I gained interest in sharing my personal style. I used to only share about how I dress up, but later realized it's something I can't do. haha. I find it hard talking about fashion. So, I thought about it and ended up sharing my interests and insights along with my photography. I felt more comfortable and it felt natural doing so.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
2. What motivates you to keep sharing on your blog?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
- It has never been about gaining thousands of followers for me. I use my blog as my open diary. It's my outlet. I blog when I am happy, when I am broken, when I am excited, when I am depressed...whenever I feel the need to pour my heart out even.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
3. If you could live anywhere in the world, which country would you pick?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
- Like I said earlier, I would looooove to live in Verona. If not there, maybe France? I feel I would be really happy living in these places.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
4. Is there a project or a skill you wish you could learn to do?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
- I want to be able to fly planes like my father. However, I think I would be too chicken to fly a plane. haha</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
5. What is your biggest regret?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
- This question is a hard one. It took me some time to find an answer. Honestly, I don't have any regrets. I have learned to not regret anything I do and not do in my life. Life is too short to dwell on things that did and did not happen, because of choices you have made.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
6. Where do you find inspiration to do your work?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
- Thinking about my future inspires and motivates me.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
7. What do you do when you don't feel like being creative?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
- I eat and sleep. haha. I don't force it. For me, creativity comes to me when it wants to come to me. I think my work isn't that good whenever I try forcing it.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
8. What is your favorite song or movie right now?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
- My favorite song is Vincent.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
9. How do you relax?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
10. What are you most proud of in your life?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
- I am proud that I grew up to be a woman with principles and substance.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
11. What project do you have coming up next?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

I've been feeling kind of torn lately on what I should be blogging about. I thought to myself, "Should I study more about fashion and talk about that?", "Should I blog about my DIY's?", "Should I talk more about places I go to?", "Should I just post my photography?", "Should I just write my insights and my small compositions of poetry?", etc etc. Then I thought, "Hey, it's my blog and it's a blog about my life and what's in it that I'd love to share to the world." Come to think of it, I have been using my blog as an open diary.</div>

Thus, I have decided to keep it that way. To match my random slash spontaneous personality, my blog shall be a blog about anything I want to share. For today, I would like to share overdue photos from my most recently spent weekend at Pampanga, and one of my favorite poems from Maya Angelou (may she find heaven a place where she could create even more wonderful poetry).<br />

(If you happen to visit Clark Pampanga, you should try to find Cafe Tre. The place is cozy and quiet. That's how a coffee shop should be, in my opinion.)<br />

Almost everyone thinks of going to white sand beaches, but here I am stunned by a beautiful pebbly beach with crystal clear waters. With no mud and sand to blur the waters, I swear I have never seen more water clarity than what I have found here.<br />
Don't be discouraged by the pebbles (except if you love beach volleyball :p). No you won't be able to make sand castles. I invite you to balance pebbles one on top of another. hahaha. They may look tough but they're smooth and did not hurt my feet at all. It was like I was in a river with smooth pebbles, but with salty water haha.<br />
Only here did I get the courage to go to the deeper part of the sea, because I could see everything swimming underneath me. (but I still panic and swim my fastest to the shore when I see an unknown sea creature hahaha)<br />

I have never been a fan of going to beaches with lots of people. So I never really liked Puerto Galera, nor did I go to Boracay. I like my beaches serene. The Lobo beach gave me that. Lobo is not exactly the name you'll hear when vacationers think of beach. It's nowhere near as commercialized as Boracay, but I think it's a great advantage for Lobo. It has been able to better preserve it's natural beauty.<br />

Batangas has two lighthouses. One named Cape Santiago in Calatagan (I've been there before and my family and I enjoyed a secluded beach), and another named Punta de Malabrigo in Lobo. The locals call it Malabrigo parola. It has been around since 1896.<br />

I have a funny story to tell. I mentioned a while ago that I panic when I see sea creatures right? Well, as I was swimming with my dad, I saw this lovely sea urchin. I screamed "suuuper beautiful sea urchin belooooow" but still swam my fastest to the shore. hahahaha. my dad caught it for me in his mug (yes he was drinking coffee at the sea shore. coffee at the seashore. haha) Don't worry. We did not hurt the lovely urchin. We just took this quick photo and put him back in the water. I swam to the deep part of the sea again just to put him back where no one will step on him.</div>

For this summer getaway, I wore nothing special. Just a navy blue straw hat I bought at a garage sale in Australia, a randomly branded striped dress, my mom's vintage red vest, and sandals I got for 300 pesos. :D Get the nautical look for less. :)</div>

If you plan on visiting this lovely place (I must admit I am having second thoughts about sharing, because it would mean more people would come there. hahaha), you have to take a bus from Manila to SM Batangas. If there's no bus directly going to SM Batangas, you should get on the bus going to Batangas City and get off at Balagtas. From there, you should take a jeepney going to SM Batangas and tell the manong tsuper (driver) to tell you where the Lobo bound jeepney terminal is. Get off there at that terminal and ride the jeepney heading for Lobo. yaaay! There at Lobo, there are plenty of tricycles you can ride to go to the beaches. If you want to go to where I went, ask people how to go to the parola. There aren't as much people there. That's where I went swimming. You can even camp for free there if you want ;)<br />

“I've learned that no matter what happens, or how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow. I've learned that you can tell a lot about a person by the way he/she handles these three things: a rainy day, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights. I've learned that regardless of your relationship with your parents, you'll miss them when they're gone from your life. I've learned that making a "living" is not the same thing as making a "life." I've learned that life sometimes gives you a second chance. I've learned that you shouldn't go through life with a catcher's mitt on both hands; you need to be able to throw something back. I've learned that whenever I decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision. I've learned that even when I have pains, I don't have to be one. I've learned that every day you should reach out and touch someone. People love a warm hug, or just a friendly pat on the back. I've learned that I still have a lot to learn. I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”</h1>

I've learned that credentials on the wall do not make you a decent human being.<br />
I've learned that the people you care about most in life are taken from you too soon.<br />
I've learned that it's hard to determine where to draw the line between being nice and not hurting people's feelings and standing up for what you believe.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
This is my opinion about love...an opinion based on experience. It could change, for I am still young, but I doubt it would change much. Prepare to hear the word "love" a lot in this entry. Brace yourselves.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Love is not sought.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Love comes at the right time and at the right place.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
You cannot force it to come. If you do, you'll end up hurting yourself and uttering <span style="color: #303030; font-family: PT Sans, serif;"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 17.633333206176758px;">clichés</span></span> like "It's not you. It's me." or "It's just not working out anymore. I've fallen out of love."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
People do not fall out of love. Love lingers. When it is real, it stays no matter how hard you try to not feel it. Letting go often does not mean losing love. Letting go requires a love much stronger; one brave enough to admit that the other person will be better off with you in his life as someone other than a significant other.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I have fallen in love only twice (not including puppy love when I was in kindergarten and grade school). The first time I felt in love was back in high school. It was with a friend I had since the 6th grade. I was in love with the way he made me feel giddy. I was in love with the simplicity of the moments we shared, but I questioned myself if I was in love with "him". Because of that, I lost him. When I lost him, I realized I do love him, but it is better we love each other as friends. He quickly liked someone else. I had to pretend I was ok as I saw him being happier. Inside me I knew he did not belong to me.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The second time I fell in love was when I was studying in the university. He was of different nationality. We met in an unorthodox way. I did not think I would fall for someone I didn't meet in a way normal lovers do, but I did. This man I love greatly and unconditionally. The kind of love people would climb the highest mountains and swim the vastest oceans for.<br />
<br />
We were together for two years. Together, but had miles and miles of land and sea between us. Continents apart. Distance did not break us, but eventually the relationship fell apart. We broke up, but did not lose each other. I gained another meaningful person in my life.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Most believe that we were never meant to be friends, nor be in contact with our past significant others, but I do not think that is true. If you really love the person and care for the person, why erase that someone completely? Just because you're not in a romantic relationship anymore, it does not mean you can't continue loving and caring.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The greatest kind of love is the one that is unconditional and does not dwell on bitterness and anger after having to let go. It converts from romantic love to a love for a friend who helped you grow as a better and stronger person.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
These people are important in our life. They are the ones who molded us into a person who's finally worthy to be loved by someone you would be with for the rest of your life.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you are single now, don't fret. You're just not ready yet.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Love will come. It comes in different forms. So, always have your eyes and heart open, because you will never know when and where it will come. Do not miss it. Your right time and right place just might be today at the bus station, or tomorrow at a coffee shop.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
While it has not come yet, learn to love in different ways. Learn to love yourself more. Give love to those in need; say a simple volunteer work for charity. Receive more love from the people you've helped. Learn to appreciate more the love of your family and friends. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Love is not sought. It is given without asking for anything in return. It is appreciated. It is received when you least expect it. (c)</div>

To celebrate Chinese New Year, my family went to the oldest chinatown in the world, Binondo. It was established on 1594. Ain't that awesome?</div>

If you happen to go to Binondo here in the Philippines (and want to have a food trip), then I suggest you stop over at <span style="color: #e06666;"><a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Awis-Cafe-and-Restaurant/283130701723129"><span style="color: #e06666;">Awi's Cafe and Restaurant</span></a>. </span>The food we tried were absolutely delicious! Go and order the tempura with mangoes. Oh oh! and the Salt and Pepper Tofu. *drools*</div>

spend your life lamenting what you look like or you can learn to work with what
you have. You can spend each meal out with friends counting calories in your
head or you can be awed at how absolutely delicious something is. You can
torture yourself or not. You are the only one affected by your inner dialogue
with yourself. It doesn’t make people think of you differently, it doesn’t make
you cooler, smarter, more lovable or more wanted. It makes you someone who
cheats themselves out of the whole of an experience.</span> </div>

thinking that “you just have to get through X period of time before you can do
this and that.” It puts off the reality that you can’t enjoy yourself now, and
the truth is, if you don’t learn to find happiness now, you never will. You

single moment of your life, even this one, you are faced with a choice. Do or
die. Wait or act. Hope or trust. Cower or believe. And as I said before, much
like the overarching picture of your life is just a series of choices and tiny
revolutions, as is how you are deciding your future will be. Though the little
voice that tells you all the reasons you shouldn’t and can’t feel happiness is
a resilient little demon, it does not control you more than you let it. The
problem is that most people appreciate the security over the risk, and it’s in
their deep security that they find the least satisfaction, time and time again.

Happy Holidays!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I spent my Christmas at Clark, Pampanga (where my dad currently resides). We didn't really do much for celebration. I guess it was enough to spend quality time with the family, since we rarely have time to do so anymore.</div>

Went Biking with my Dad. He took me biking at places going uphill uphill and more uphill. I told him (while trying my best to breathe) that imma kill him for that. hahaha</div>
