A Chance on Love

We start as strangers living life on our side of the world
Then one day on a game of chance, everything unfold

It began as a simple greeting of ‘hi’ and ‘hello’
A lot of things about each other, we still don’t know

Yet still we meet at the same time at the same place
Silently hoping to discover you more in little ways

As the days drag on, I slowly seek your presence
From the moment my day begins until it ends.

I tried to brush the unsettling feeling it brings
For I don’t want to admit that to you I am falling

But each passing day brings us deeper to an unknown
A circumstance that we cannot solve on our own

So we laid all our cards and opened our hearts
Hoping that it won’t bring our day to part

The mere thought of saying goodbye brings me ache
Deep inside the core of me, I felt something break

But then you said the words I long to hear
Words that mirror everything that I feel

So now, in your hand I trustingly put my heart
eventhough I can't see you for we are far apart

But I will patiently wait until the day you come
A day when you take my hand and say ' I'm here, hun..'

P.S. ......."Presence means more than just being there..."..........

My Journey...

I find myself in this humdrum routine
Making me ask, ‘what does this mean?

Is there something that I must do?
Or do I just have to follow life through?

I found myself on this crossroad again,
Should I go right, left or forge in?

I really don’t know where to go…
And I don’t know what to do…

But I realized, no one is beside me
To tell me how and make me see

I guess, I’m all alone on this journey
The journey to find I, myself and me…

Welcoming Chinese New Year

To celebrate the coming of the Chinese New Year, we decided to indulge in booze. So, eight carefree and lovely girls got dressed to try out the newly discovered haven for women, Double O Bar, where every Wednesday is a Ladies Night event with an array of free-flowing drinks to choose from. The joint did not indeed disappoint us. We got drunk and danced the night away!

After waking up with a sore body and a splitting headache late in the afternoon, we agreed to spend the first day of a four day 'holiday' in the spirit of a Chinese New Year. And what better way to spend it is to go to the heart of the Chinese festivities, Chinatown! We roamed the streets and ate 'Satay' at one of the food stalls that lined the streets. To us, it seemed like eating in Cebu's famous 'Larsian'. The only thing missing is the popular 'dicer'. After feasting, we proceeded to Orchard to watch a movie. We debated on what movie to see with all the different choices to choose from. In the end, 'Kung Fu Dunk' by Jay Chou and Chen Bo Lin won our vote, not because it has a good storyline but because the actors are damn hot! (Well, what can you expect if the viewers are predominantly female?) The movie fit well with our light and joyous mood and a great way to end the day. It sent us girls into a fit of laughter interrupted with adoring ohhs and ahhs every time a close-up of the hotties flashes on the big screen. I guess, it doesn't hurt if we pamper our eyes to a delectable piece every now and then.

"... on our way to watch a movie"

All in all, our own celebration was a welcome break from the everyday fast and busy lifestyle. Although we've went to bars, ate at street food stalls and watched a movie dozens of times before but on this day it was different for, to us, it wasn't the activity but the bonding that mattered.

" Chinatown at its best! "
