Morristown Memories

I just remembered this one random Lolo driving along Franklin street who stopped to tell us that we were a beautiful couple and that we should stay together. 

 

Wherever you are, random Lolo...I remembered you. :)

Unsolicited Advice at 3:15 A.M.

When you love someone, you love that person with a heart that is ready to get run over by a raging bull.  You lay everything on the line, and your only armor is that thin (almost translucent) line between hope and desperation.  Your puzzle is finally solved.  You are now one half of a whole.  You are happy (or so you think), and drunk and mad -- the perfect combination for insanity. 

As in many relationships, when people start taking their guards down, they start to lose themselves.  They get caught in the parade of kilig and the constant need to feel wanted.  The things that mattered to them means nothing (Ok lang na hindi ka mag-text buong araw, sino ba naman ako) and the principles they live by slowly become insignificant (I deserve to be treated like a queen, pero ok lang na alisin mo minsan yun respect mailabas mo lang galit mo).  Their senses get more and more vulnerable to anything harmful to them and that is when the brain takes a backseat.  Everything crumbles to the ground.  In shattered pieces. 

Self-worth has lost the battle.  But, will we ever learn to choose the less hurtful path of self-preservation?  I don't think so.  The world is not yet ready for battery-operated hearts. 

Steady lang, teh.  Andito lang kami.

Dear 110 lbs.,

Bakit ba pa-hard-to-get ka? Hirap na hirap na ko.

Please naman.

Aelita Andre - Prodigy of Color Exhibition in New York City

Can't sleep.  Saw this very talented little girl from Chuvaness' archive.  Amazing.

Am Baaack.

I am back, Pilipinas.

After waking up from my first decent sleep in Manila (at 5:00 PM, mind you), I went to Eastwood with my sister to get a haircut and search for a full-length mirror for my room.  No luck with the second agenda.

I didn't buy this shirt because of my kontrabida sister. Haha!

Ocean City: Rain AND Shine

Finally, I am posting the last stop of our week-long roadtrip...*drumroll*...Ocean City, Maryland.  It was raining when we got there (hurray!) and we didn't want to get sand in our toes so we made tambay along the boardwalk instead. 

Under my umbrella (ella, ella, ella)

I won. *ehem*

Best lemonade in the US (according to Paulo)

The Red Brick Wall Project: Georgetown

Georgetown Cupcakes

As a sweet tooth and reality tv junkie, I was psyched to drop by Georgetown Cupcakes while we were in DC.  We spotted the quaint shop the night before and (sugar) rushed in line first thing in the morning to get our cupcake fix.  The town was in heatwave and there was a (tolerable) queue outside the store, but it was worth it.  Happy tummies.

Caramel Latte

Loved the packaging
