a couple of thoughts

Two project ideas kept circling my mind since last week:

1. Bags

Mom told me that a shop in our hometown can churn out bags based on your own designs. Design your own bag! Whew, can't wait to get started. I initially thought of a laptop bag until Riza said she wanted a camera bag. So I thought, "Hmmmn, Why not?" My camera bag's really boring and
it shouts, "Lookie, I have a bulky camera!" I want a bag that's anything but both boring and obvious. So now, I'm racking my brains for a good design and half-hoping that the project wouldn't be too pricey. Tee wants a messenger bag so maybe, when he continues to be good boy that he is today, I'll design one for him.

2. Travel Blog

This has been in my mind for some time now. Okay, it's really been ages since I came up with this project. Initially, I wanted this as a group thing since my close circle of friends loves hopping from one island to another. That they're good great at photography is an added bonus. But the barkada isn't as excited as I am. Oh well, I guess I'm on my own.

growing mung beans

Trust is not easy for me to give especially for someone like Tee*. The current complicated set-up with him is far from helping.

The better understanding of the other with the passage of time, however, is sowing monggo beans of faith. His evident effort to gain my trust and my attempt at convincing myself that I will be happier without doubts watered the beans to make them sprout.

Until after some cheating husbands trampled the young shoots to death.

Okay, it was just
a cheating husband. But he was gamely sharing his conquest to the male friends. He did not boast it to us girls, but he wasn't hiding stories of his infidelity either. What's worse, is that his kind seems to be applauding him.

Now how would you grow back the trampled mung bean sprouts?



* I am a Tee and so is he. He is my activity partner, my best bud, my palangga, and, hopefully, my lifetime partner. I love him to bits.

change of tune... we still need a lot of practice though.

Beautiful In My Eyes Lyrics
Artist:Joshua Kadison


You're my peace of mind in this crazy world.
You're everything I've tried to find, your love is a pearl.
You're my Mona Lisa, you're my rainbow skies,
and my only prayer is that you realize
you'll always be beautiful in my eyes.

The world will turn and the seasons will change,
and all the lessons we will learn will be beautiful and strange.
We'll have our fill of tears, our share of sighs.
And my only prayer is that you realize
you'll always be beautiful in my eyes.


You will always be beautiful in my eyes.
And the passing years will show
that you will always grow ever more beautiful in my eyes.


When there are lines upon my face from a lifetime of smiles,
and when the time comes to embrace for one long last while,
we can laugh about how time really flies.
We won't say goodbye 'cause true love never dies.
You'll always be beautiful in my eyes.


You will always be beautiful in my eyes.
And the passing years will show
that you will always grow ever more beautiful in my eyes.
The passing years will show that you will always grow
ever more beautiful in my eyes.
