One Day My Certainty Will Come...

Live...Move On...Love Again

Time to walk away...

So I am back from Outer Space

It’s been a year since my last post…went on hiatus. It’s been a while since I felt the need to express myself anonymously Got caught up with so many things...usual bloggers excuse. Made some life changing decisions. Moved to a new job… crazier but paying off. Travelled a bit…Hong Kong, Singapore, Bangkok…locally been out and about to beaches and frequently surfing. I miss the ride though. Haven’t been on a board for 3 months now and my body is craving for the rush. Watched some concerts and shows too. Swedish House was awesome…Avicii was cool…Summer Solstice was fun too. Seen International artist too…VIP tix do pay off…Ian Somerhalder, Zach Efron, Mario Maurer and Leighton Meister…I can’t believe I pass on Taylor Lautner recently. I guess I wasn’t really into him. Found myself screaming non-stop when I watched Maroon 5, The Script, Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, Foster the People, NKOTB and yes I am a music junkie. Lost some friend and met new ones…potential for my inner circle.

There are ups and downs…there are days you just scream and let off steam. We are human and no matter how we try to maintain a positive disposition there are days it will catch up on you. Days like that.. I just try to shake it off. I still have more than a quarter of 2013 and so far it’s been interesting.

That sums it up...life is happier and I wouldn’t want it any other way. =)

Alpha Female

What is an alpha female?

By Definition from the Urban Dictionary

An Alpha Female is a dominant female in a group. She dates as many males as she wants, is strong and confident, and a hard worker as well as often busy. She is usually sarcastic because she's powerful and playful. Alpha Females are intelligent, intellectual problem solvers; and though being an alpha female is more of a state of mind than a physicality, an alpha understands that dressing up or sexy increases her power in society, so she does it. Alpha Females are often terribly misunderstood by Beta and lesser males, as evident by the other posts about Alpha Females, and when this happens, she's called a bitch, a cunt, or a whore ... Alpha Females prefer passion over romance, although if it's romance coming from an Alpha Male, a hootttttt one, that's another story...

By My Definition

An Alpha Female is someone who is assertive and motivated. Knows what she wants and goes for it. Strong and confident. With a good character and speaks her mind. Sarcastic is not the word but more of frank. Playful? hmmm...maybe more of adventurous. Intelligent and are born leaders. Definitely someone who dresses smart and enjoys fashion. Someone who is confident and can find her own happiness without relying on other people. Someone who is independent and can do things on her own. People who do not understand them are just narrow minded. They should just accept that people are made and are cut differently. Live with it!

So...am I an Alpha Female? Maybe... call me a bitch...call me nasty...I refused to be labeled...I am just me.

What does those recycling numbers in plastics mean?

The environmentalist (kuno) in me always thinks of how to save on resources and recycle materials. I have been using bottled container often and wondered how safe it is to reuse plastics. Plastics are sanitary materials and can be reused as long as we clean them very well and dry them thoroughly. Plastics just like any other materials harbor bacteria if they are not clean and not because of what it is made of. I wonder what those recycling plastic number you find at the bottom of container means. So I searched the internet and found a good source http://www.thedailygreen.com/. I made a matrix summary for easier reference.

Here it is:

Looking at the information I guess it is safe to say that we use porcelain or glass containers especially in heating food just to be sure. If we can't avoid using plastics then we should go for 2, 4 and 5. Definitely NOT 1 (it can leak carcinogenic, hormone-disrupting phthalates when used over and over again) 3 (PVC can leak cancer-causing dioxins, which is one of the most toxic environmental pollutant) and 6 (Can also be dangerous, as its base component, styrene, has been associated with skin, eye and respiratory irritation, depression, fatigue, compromised kidney function, and central nervous system damage). Let's be safe and check everything that we use. Recycle.

Entry 13: Up an Inch...Down an Inch

I am on my 2 week at Plana Forma. I enrolled myself in an unlimited class and currently doing a 4x4 challenge. A member should attend 4 classes in a week 4 times a week. Once completed she will be entitled to a 15% off on her next monthly membership. The only sport/ workout that can wake me up really early (knowing I am not a morning person). I lost 2 inches in my waistline for both upper and lower abs.This class really motivates me and I must say this workout is really working.

Just when I went shopping last week I was 2 sizes down from my fat self. Not bad at all…regaining my old size. Primarily I did it for the challenge and the discount is just an added bonus. I have completed 10 session already and definitely intending to finish the challenge. Love it! #healthybod

STATUS: In a Relationship?

Being in a relationship does not mean a person is happy neither does being single means he/she is sad. The culture that we have now associate happiness on the condition that every individual should be in a relationship. I don’t think they heard about single blessedness. People find it odd that an individual can find pleasure in being alone and free. Maybe it’s the past experiences and situations that I had where I always end up in a bad relationship. I needed time to heal and find myself whole again. I guess I am still at that stage and just enjoying the freedom I have now. Freedom from being conventional… freedom from expectations… freedom from limitations of what one can and cannot do…freedom to explore life and live it…freedom from pain…freedom from all the craziness of what a relationship brings.


Some journey can be heartbreaking. Pain and failures can make you beautiful and a better person. It can bring new possibilities. They can be life changing. It makes you strong and a better person.

Don’t get me wrong…I like being in love. I miss the feeling of being in love. I am a hopeless romantic. But there will come a time in your life where you have given away so much of yourself that you lose yourself in the process. You need time to be whole again. The way to do that is you take time off and just take care of yourself. You need to feel alive again…be excited about everything…experience life. Right now I am in love…I am in a relationship…I am happy…with ME, MYSELF and I. #happyheart

Walk away

There are things that just keeps coming back…things that you thought have died down and long gone. Then you didn’t realize you are at it again….going through the same roller coaster ride. Before things even start it’s time to STOP. There is no sense in doing it all over again when you would know how the story will end. It will just be a waste of time and energy. Why would you subject yourself into something that you would know will fail eventually?

 Time to walk away and don’t look back. Be the happy person that you have become and forget about the things that will make you unhappy. Walk away...This time it’s for good! #happyheart

Tiring but a good one

Driving duties, travelling, dinners, lunches, early workout at Plana, people visiting from abroad, family get together, night out and piles of work. I will start taking my French lesson soon and that will definitely eat up all my weekend time. Feeling tired and drained…this is crazy. I can’t keep up anymore and I have to stop. Definitely slowing down next month, cutting down on travelling and partying.


Had a great start today…as I approached my table I saw some goodies on it. Though I am not sure who gave them (I said thanks anyway through FB post). As the afternoon approaches a box of pastries was delivered by the receptionist. It’s from my friend. I just hope they stopped sending me bread and pastries since I am refraining from eating anything with flour and eggs.

After a back-to-back meeting another delivery today… I saw a bouquet of flowers on top of my table. Checked the card and just says (typewritten) “Thinking of you!”

I guess I have angels who remind me that I am special and thought about. I am a simple girl who appreciates act of kindness and thoughtfulness a lot! Thank you for brightening up my day!

Happy Heart

Life is a choice. It’s not about choosing what happens in your life. It’s about choosing to be happy – Wisz Kanadi


I read this over twitter and I believe this is true. I have come to love the beauty of appreciating life and everything that goes with it. May it be good or bad eventually it makes you the person that you are now. As we grow older our perspective of what is important in life changes. In times that I am faced with misfortunes, uncertainties, disappointments and bad luck I just choose to learn and let go. I embrace life as it happens and choose to have a happy heart

Mr. Know it All - Kelly Clarkson

Mr. Know It All

Well ya think you know it all
But ya don't know a thing at all
Ain't it, ain't it something y'all
When somebody tells you something 'bout you
Think that they know you more than you do
So you take it down another pill to swallow

Mr. Bring Me Down
Well ya, ya like to bring me down, don't you?
But I ain't laying down, baby, I ain't goin' down
Can't nobody tell me how it's gonna be
Nobody's gonna make a fool out of me
Baby, you should know that I lead not follow

[Chorus:]
Oh you think that you know me, know me
That's why I'm leaving you lonely, lonely
'Cause baby you don't know a thing about me
You don't know a thing about me
You ain't got the right to tell me
When and where to go, no right to tell me
Acting like you own me lately
Yeah baby you don't know a thing about me
You don't know a thing about me

Mr. Play Your Games
Only got yourself to blame when you want me back again
But I ain't falling back again
'Cause I'm living my truth without your lies
Let's be clear baby this is goodbye
I ain't coming back tomorrow

[Chorus:]

[Bridge:]
So what you've got the world at your feet
And you know everything about everything
But you don't
You still think I'm coming back but baby you'll see yeah...

[Chorus:]

Mr. Know It All
Well ya think you know it all
But ya don't know a thing at all
Yeah baby you don't know a thing about me
You don't know a thing about me

Entry 12: Plana Forma

I have been meaning to check out the new workout class in town. I have been hearing good reviews and endorsements but just didn’t get the chance to really go. Until my friend A asked me to go. It was my first day at Plana Forma today…had an early session today at 7AM. Yes…I woke up really early for it! Almost missed the class but made it last minute. It was a good workout. The instructor Van is very friendly and the class was motivating. There were around 10-12 people in the class and the instructor was very hands on.

Plana Forma is a unique technique that combines pilates, yoga and dance. It was very intense and your muscles and posture will definitely be worked out. Good thing I have been going frequently to the gym so I didn’t feel the muscle pain that much. Going again tomorrow and most likely be enrolling on their unlimited class. Looks like me and A will be hooked!

You win some...you lose some

Sometimes no matter how you try it just won't work. Even if you have given your all...it's never enough. Patience ran out and the only thing left to do is just give up and let go. Simple courtesy and consideration now become difficult. What went wrong? I don't know. I value my friends and love ones a lot. But in times where you know you are not given the same...maybe there are things that are not meant to stay. It was good until it lasted.

H I A TU S

My mind is off work today currently listening to Secrets by One Republic. This song putting me in a trance...maybe this is what I need right now. Just to free my mind for a while.

I have been staring at this blank document in front of me for hours and I just can’t seem to stir up my brain to start doing some work. Thinking of going on a hiatus, just need to finish some commitments but eventually go away for a while. Haven’t been myself lately…must be PMSing but I am not sure. There are moments in your life that you are floating and not sure where you are standing.

Secrets – One Republic

I need another story

Something to get off my chest

My life gets kinda boring

Need something that i can confess

Till all my sleeves are stained red
From all the truth that I've said
Come by it honestly I swear
Thought you saw me wink, no, I've been on the brink, so
[CHORUS]
Tell me what you want to hear
Something that will light those ears
I'm sick of all the insincere
So I'm gonna give all my secrets away
This time
Don't need another perfect lie
Don't care if critics ever jump in line
I'm Gonna give all my secrets away
My God, amazing how we got this far
It's like were chasing all those stars
Who's driving shiny big black cars
And everyday I see the news
All the problems that we could solve
And when a situation rises
Just write it into an album
Singing straight to cold
I don't really like my flow, no, so
[CHORUS]
Got no reason
Got no shame
Got no family
I can blame
Just don't let me disappear
I'ma tell you everything
[CHORUS x2]
All my secrets away (x2)

Brush it off

Often times we are faced with either difficult situation, difficult people and if you are lucky…both. How do you deal with these things? As we get older we are expected to be wiser. I have been through hell and back with my life. Life is short and every moment should be something that you would like to remember as memorable. Good or bad? As long as it contributed to your well being and will make you a better person. Each moment spent should be a story to tell or remember. When faced with these circumstances I just choose to either:

• See things in a positive perspective
• Put myself in someone else’s shoes
• Pray harder that I have the patience and courage to deal with it
• Shake it off and move on
• Let it slide and totally forget about it
• Give more importance to people and relationship
• Be thankful of the other blessings that I have

If you let yourself be affected by this negativity then no one wins. Everyone is on a losing end. Life and situations are hard…no one said it is easy. You have the choice…don’t move and complain when stuck in a rain or learn to enjoy and experience it. Life is beautiful!

To dream anything that you want to dream. Thats the beauty of the human mind. To do anything you want to do, that is the strength of the human will. To trust yourself to test your limits, that is the courage to succeed. -Bernard Admonds

P A T I E N C E

Sometimes your friendship will be tested. When someone ditched you because something big is happening in her life you just let it be. You may be pissed off for a while but you try to understand to the best that you can. You don’t give in to anger and think of why you value your friendship. Flaking on someone is NEVER okay. When I say you understand then that friend of yours better have a very good reason for doing so. Most often my patience is tested when faced with these kinds of situations. I give high regards to my friends and I hope that they too. So I just let this one slide and be a good friend she needs in times like this. Definitely meditating and praying for PATIENCE today.

Entry 11: 2 more lbs

So I ended and started my year right with workout. Though did a bit of binging and drinking during the holidays but it didn’t stop me from losing weight. I figured I can eat a bit so as not to spoil the holiday spirit but definitely did some extra run and doubled my efforts just to stay fit. I went to gym and basketball 4 x a week before the festivities. Hard core physical activities…yeah…yeah…blame it on CTA who is a gym and basketball rat who pushes me and keeps me up on my toes in losing more. Man!crunches, weights and repetitions are painful…in a good way.

So I weighted myself again yesterday after weeks of not checking…tandadanan…I lost 2 lbs. I tried an old short skirt that didn’t fit me before and the last time I wore it was 3 years ago. It fit just right. Seeing results and feeling good about myself makes me motivated to work out more and loose more. Another 10-15 lbs for this month...let's go!

Stereo Hearts

Just lovin this song...make my heart sing.

Life is just better

If you read my previous blogs (some are still here and some I had to take out) you would know my real story. Maybe I said too much that is why I never really felt disclosing my identity here so that I can be more open and vocal about my thoughts. I made life changing decisions for 2011. Definitely things that will be for the books.

Is life better? Yes it is. I feel so blessed with many good things that was given to me for the past months. For the days I go to church and pray...God gave me what I have always been requesting. Healing from pain. I was free from it. It's been months now that I can say I am okay. Was comfortable being alone just loving the sanctuary of my home and my own solitude. I plan for myself and do things for myself and my love ones.

Though having someone would be nice.  Of course I do miss the feeling of being in love. I miss giving out surprises and taking care of someone.The times you call or text someone just to remind them of how special they are. That someone who is your driving force and support group of 1. If God grants it then I just consider it as a bonus.

Happiness is a perspective and I changed it. I try to see the good things in every bad situation. Appreciate everything that surrounds me. Made more friends and been traveling. Take care of myself more and eat healthier. I just prayed harder and been nicer.  Life has been good to me and I'm just happier. I can't complain. =)

Journey Continuous: Tagaytay

Another restless weekend...my feet itching to travel. Where to go? A hint of cool air in a tropical country is like rain in a desert. Weekend galavanting with CTA. Thought of a place that is close to Manila…a destination I can drive…we ended up in Tagaytay. So our morning started with breakfast before we left then off we go at 11am. From EDSA take SLEX go straight and exit at Sta Rosa then go straight all the way to Tagaytay City.

 • First Stop: Cliff House for lunchie. There are several selections in the area but you have to wait to be seated since there are many people who usually goes here to eat especially over the weekend. You get the feel of California dining. The view and the cool wind was a conducive to relaxing and you won’t even notice the time pass by. They serve good Italian food and price is reasonable. Definitely never miss this on your next trip. Price: P150-400 each dish. Definitely a must try are their pasta, risotto and smoothies.

• Next Stop: People’s Park in The Sky. Just to get a view of Tagaytay. They say this is the highest peak in the area and you get a good view of everything. It was breath taking since it’s past 4PM. We stayed there until it’s almost sunset. My favorite time of the day. There are several souvenir shops there that sell t-shirts (cost around P140-150) and crafts. Best time to visit is during the weekdays and during late afternoon. Make sure to go back in downtown before the sunset since the zigzag roads don’t have street lights and place gets foggy at night.

• Last Stop: Bag of Beans. It is almost dark and we had to do another stop. I have been meaning to eat at this restaurant to try their Shepherd’s Pie. We weren’t hungry but we just can’t resist trying. So we ordered tea and pie for a light meal before heading back to Manila. It was just okay. The mashed potato was kinda dry and I expected more from them. The place is cozy and you get the feeling of countryside.

A good weekend place to explore...good food, nice scenery and cold weather. If you just want to get away from the stress of the city this is the place to go..and you can almost touch the sky. Good trip!

So 2011 ends...

How will you celebrate your New Year's eve? That is the question I got from people. The usual...with family, food, drinks and lots of fun. I did get an invitation from someone. But of course family and friends come first. My Tatay will kill me if I am not with them. hahaha

The galavanter in me kicked in. It did cross my mind that I should plan a trip over the holidays next time. Get to experience different culture and be in a different place for a change. Hmmm...2012 or 2013 maybe.

Thinking of revamping the look of my blog. Maybe I will do it over the weekend if time permits. Been out and about recently doing more workout (no... I am not complaining). Have done a little traveling and will most likely do more next year. I am just glad I am back to my old self...the fun and carefree ME.

2011 ain't that bad. The year of challenges that made me stronger. The year of opportunities that made me better. The year of blessings that I am thankful for. The year that I met interesting people. The year I made life changing decisions. Life only gets better and to sum it up my life is awesomely fabulous.

Happy new year folks!

I don't want a perfect person. I just want someone to act silly with, someone who treats me well and loves being with me more than anything. ---The Notebook

S T O K E D !!!

Location: Bacnotan, La Union, Philippines

Best Time to Travel: Anytime of the year even when rainy. Though not advisable during strong rain or typhoon since waves and current are more unstable.

Accomodation: For resorts and hotel accomodation go to San Fernando or San Juan. Bacnotan does not have any resorts or resting facility. This is still under developed but considered as one of the good surf site in the province. They have more friendly waves and less current. Accomodations can cost you Php 700-3000/room depending on the resort and location.

Surf Lessons: Go to San Fernando and look for Chris Par. He is a very good instructor.

Cost: Php 400/ hour of lesson including rent of surf board. Jeep rent for Php 600-800 if you wish to be taken to different surf sites.

Transportation: There are bus from Manila and other parts of the province. Try Partas or Dominion. Fare from Manila is Php 500-600/ pax (one way).

Food: There are several restaurants in the area so food is not a problem. Fast food are not accessible though. You may need to travel to the town proper for it.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars for a tourist and fun destination.

Tips:

• Make sure to wear a rash guard when surfing to prevent rash or wounds when climbing up the board while surfing. Preferably wear longer surf shorts to protect your knee from rash too.
• For newbies I do suggest you take the lessons and don't try it on your own. The first 15- 30 mins should be instructional or surf lessons the rest will be actual ride on the board.
• Do have a surf buddy or an instructor to be safe.
• Definitely wear sun block with SPF 50-70. You will get a tan even if it is cloudy. Sun usually peaks at 10AM-02:00PM.

Surfing my accidental high! Definitely going back soon.

Entry 10: Back to Me

So it was last day session at Sexy Solutions yesterday. Thought of using it for my abs. So after the treatment I lost an inches on my waistline. Not that I haven't for the previous weeks. I actually lost 3 inches through diet alone. I was surprised to have fit in my old jeans and slacks. I mistakenly picked a one size smaller pants at Zara and tandadan...it fit me perfectly. I tried on a new long sleeves polo shirt that's been sitting in my closet for months. I can't wear it since it was too tight before. Overall I lost 11 lbs since I started with the treatment and flexitarian diet. Never felt better and lighter for so long.

So I had a basketball and badminton game last Sunday. A and I played with the boys...it was fun. Then yesterday was so hyped about doing something active so ran from Rockwell back to Nicanor Garcia and back to Rockwell. I haven't done that for ages but it felt great. My body is hurting now...in a good way. Wohooo....15 more pounds and I am back to my old self...definitely bringing sexy back! :)

Entry 9: Stick to the Plan

 I have been tempted so many times to cheat on my diet. Good thing I am able to resist. On my 5th week and still feeling better. No cravings and binging. I did had a piece of beef yesterday though. I figured if I don't deprive myself then I won't have to deal with the cravings more difficult. Turns out I am okay and was able to resist eating too much. I am beginning to love the taste of fish and have been eating chicken. Still going Flexitarian. Lost 3 inches on my wasteline and still losing pounds (slowly). Lost 9lbs to date...not bad since I just started with my diet last month. My clothes have started to losen up. I am beginning to fit on my old pants now. Flatter tummy and feels light. Going flexitarian and all natural is a lifestyle change that will make you feel good in and out. Just happy I am surviving this diet. One thing I need to improve on is stick to my gym sessions...just can't find the time these days.

It's been a looong time since the last time I felf comfortable being single and alone. I can catch up on so many things...go back to reading...go back to the gym...go out...meet people...take care of ME...not worry about anything...discovering life and people...hopefully traveling soon...planning one this month.

Life is just happier and sweeter.  I'm loving it!

Entry 8: Pounds Off

So it's been 14 days since my diet plan...21 days of no pork and beef. I already lost 7lbs and hopefully counting. The countless times I got tempted to cheat and eat a huge juicy burger...I was successful to resist and stick to my diet. I am currently at party...I did cheat a bit. Ate breaded shrimp and chicken with cream sauce. Oh no! No pork and beef but had some dairy! I was able to resist the alcohol though. Tsktsktsk!!! What to do? What to do? This calls for a double sets on the stepper tomorrow at the gym. I need to go back to my diet. Definitely going back!

On my last 2 sessions at Sexy Solutions next week. My arms and thighs did improve though not I was expecting. I am not sure why the machine was not that responsive to me. If there is any consolation I did lose some inches on my waist and have a flatter tummy. Crossing my fingers for better results.

Sometimes you just outgrow people.

Don't try to fight it, understand it, or repair it.

Just let it be.

Go ahead and just be happy.

Love comes to those who still hope after disappointment, who still believe after betrayal, and who still love after they've been hurt.

Entry 7: Don't Panic It's Organic

After 2 weeks of going Organic and buying natural and artificial free food here are some I made and been eating...It's 2 weeks now without pork and beef. After following the detox diet plan I already lost 5lbs so far. clap...clap...clap.

Chicken Afritada- use fresh tomatoes instead of tomato sauce. Sautee chicken with garlic and onion. Add tomatoes when chicken is half cook. Add some water and bring to boil. Add bell pepper, potatoes and carrots. Season w/ salt, pepper and chili flakes. (use all natural and organic ingredients. serve with half cup of rice)

Malunggay and corn soup w/ Shrimp. Sautee garlic, onions and shrimp. Add water, corn. Bring to boil. Season w/ salt and pepper. Add malungay when corn is cook.

Asparagus, baby corn, bell pepper and carrots. Sautee w/ garlic and onion over olive oil. Season with thyme, basil, salt and pepper. (pair it with a grilled fish or chicken)

Organic Chicken Adobo- boil Free Range Chicken, Apple Cider Vinegar & Liquid Aminos (alternative to vinegar & soy sauce), tpepper, thyme and bay leaf. Once chicken is cook remove it and pan fry using a teflon pan until meat is brownish. Then put the sauce back and simmer for a few minutes.



Alpanghap Fish ( just like lapu-lapu) with fresh basil, salt and pepper.

Entry 6: Food To Buy

So I went grocery shopping to buy ingredients for my meal that I planned for the rest of the week. I was surprised that it was more difficult to buy food that are 100%, natural, no preservatives, pesticide free, gluten free and non-dairy. Here are some stuff I got:

100% natural corn nachos for snacks (you can add century corned tuna and salsa @ Healthy Options P95.00)

Muscovado Sugar 100% natural & pesticide free (made from sugar cane better than white and brown sugar...78 calories/ 1tbsp. @any grocery P70+)

Rice or Almond Milk (Non-dairy alternative for Milk in making your soup creamy@ Healthy Options P105.00)

Sesmark Rice Thins (good for snacks that will satisfy your cravings @ Healthy Options P220.00)

Free Range Chicken (organic and no hormones)

Herbs and Spices to season your food, Olive Oil to pan fry (will blog about how you use these later)

Entry 5: Food To Cook

So I have been contemplating on what food I can cook that will be within my diet plan at the same time satisfy my cravings and make me feel full. Here are some I made so far:

Chicken Basil with Corn & Carrots (marinade organic chicken w/ fresh basil, pepper and salt. use olive oil to grill)

Cream of Dory in Rosemary with Seafood Pumpkin Soup (season fish with rosemary, pepper and salt and pan fry with olive oil)

Pan fried Salmon and Milk Fish (marinade with basil, salt, pepper and pan fry with olive oil)
