in the zone

i’m generally happy these days. i actually believe being happy is a choice. life is simple, we just complicate it. so everytime i feel like turning into the old me (there’s a reason why this blog is described as the brand new stories of an ex-drama queen), i try to to see the positive side in things and look for that magic rainbow (blame david cook for the lack of a better term) whatever. so statements like  “someday things will make perfect sense, so for now laugh at the confusion”…i get that.  i believe in that. it’s just that the “right now” part kind of sucks and don’t make any sense to me. i know i’m not supposed to understand everything right now but i wish i could, even just a bit of it. do i even have a point here?

all i’m saying is even just for today, can i be the same old vulnerable me? spare me from the optimism crap because all i can say  is screw it and that doesn’t sound so nice. i’m turning the lights off, playing some boyce avenue in full volume, keeping my lips sealed…in short,  not care about the rest of the world (which i used to be really good at).

just for tonight. tomorrow, i’ll try to be better.

i’ve been thinking…there are things that we should experience at least once in our lives. feel free to add if you have more.

###

play the field. play with the wrong ones first. go out. go crazy. laugh like there’s no tomorrow. break down. shed some tears. wear your skin proud. love your body. wear sexy clothes. get soaked in the rain. feel the sand on your skin. get wasted. don’t rush things. dance. sing at the top of your voice. scream at your favorite band’s concert. travel and try new adventures. watch the sunset. go surfing. take pictures. hold hands. go out of your comfort zone. fall in love. fall in love for the first time. make mistakes. get hurt. move on. fall in love again.

 at this age, we can get away with it. there’s no better time than now. 

BUT…. don’t forget to learn.  take every lessons and experiences as you grow older. the key word is grow. and never lose the passion. sabi nga ng idolo kong si bob ong, “wag mawawalan ng gana sa buhay.kung ano yung galing mo, kulit mo, lakas ng sigaw at tuwa sa mga laban ng UAAP, NCAA, mga sports fest, o concert ng paborito mong banda, wag mong iwawala hangang sa pagtanda.”

everyday is a brand new opportunity to celebrate life.

 

to be young and single.  these are the best times. gotta love it.

 

sometimes, change is everything

awww, i just have to post this. i got this comment from a dear friend in my good girl gone bad post. eto ang mga wisdom na hinahanap ko e. ganda lang. =)

good girl having fun. squishing yout toes and dipping your fingers on the unexplored side of your life.

we all have our moment, a tipping point, i guess when we realize that we need to change, to try different things, to feel, to live.

if you crash and burn, just put some ice on it. tomorrow will be a beautiful day.

right on. salamat! ^____^
