If you know...

I’m always so busy studying or working. I’ve lost my ability to juggle work and play. The only books I read now are all accounting-related, and believe me when I say I read everything, cover-to-cover. I haven’t ever had the chance to read just for pleasure. Don’t get me wrong, I am passionate about accounting, but always having to read bland text, with no creative sentence structures at all, leaves the ever-so-slightly creative side of my brain inactive. I haven’t updated myself with the new albums my favorite artists have released. I just go on 8tracks, pick a playlist, and just let the music die in the background, never having the time to take it all in. How little appreciation I have left for the things I find so beautiful… 

If this is what growing up feels like, I regret rushing through it all.

Is it okay to look at someone and actually just want to take over that’s person’s life? Sometimes I feel like it’s unfair how some people are just too happy, you know? I want them to feel a little misery, too.

This is pretty selfish, I know…

For quite some time, all I’ve been doing is complain about how poor I am. So, I looked at my wallet and I had exactly P1050 pesos and then, I asked myself,“Should I get new clothes? New shoes? A new bag?” And then I realized, when I do that, my one thousand bucks will just disappear.

I also forgot to mention I’ve learned to be thrifty under the good influence of my boyfriend. The thought of not having new stuff didn’t really bother me unlike before. 

With that little cash, I decided to start an online store called Trifecta (don’t forget to like it on Facebook!) I started selling sunnies (so grateful to have found an amazing supplier from Manila) and bikinis (thanks to my amazing cousin). I will also start selling clothes and accessories sooon as it opens in full swing this May! My boyfriend, being his normal supportive self, decided to invest in the business. My brother did, too, simply because the thought of profit excites him! Haha who doesn’t anyway?

I’m very excited to see where this business is heading. I’m starting to get addicted to it, too! I never knew how fun the merchandising business could be.☺ In my Accounting classes, when we studied the accounting cycles of the merchandising business, it never occurred to me that it could be applicable this soon! 

Once you start complaining about how shitty your life is, you also don’t realize that it’s only you who can turn it around. I’ve lived in Tumblr for about two years back in ‘08/'09 when I was an avid user and I was nothing but an emotional wreck with a negative perspective in life. I’m not saying I’m a hundred percent optimistic now but hiding in a broken shell won’t do us any good. ☺ We are the captain of our lives (or however that saying goes. You know what I mean ☺)

You won’t see this serene type of clarity until you undergo the process of change yourself.

(…and let’s just say I have more than P1,050 now ☺)

One of the little yet beautiful things in life that goes unnoticed. I wouldn’t have seen this if it weren’t for my zoom lens. Always give credit to underrated beauty. ♥

Watching the moon rise was such a breathtaking view x

I read this in my 11th grade english class and i still think about it sometimes. 

This is my favorite fucking short story ever. It changed the way I look at human weakness.

This is one of my favourite things ever.

Oh, well, it’s been an extremely long time since I’ve written anything on this blog. Haha I won’t keep any more promises of “being officially back” because I’ve noticed I’ve broken every single promise I’ve made on this blog. 

Well, I guess the feeling of just jotting it down makes the things I plan feel so real… like they’re gonna happen. And when it feels like happening, I feel like I’m a productive human being. It makes me feel like I’m doing something worth my time. Guess I was wrong… because the things I don’t really talk about are the things that end up happening. 

So here’s a challenge to myself… I hate it when things are unplanned or unorganized but this time, I’m gonna let things go their way and see where it takes me. :)
