music...they speak!!!

here I am going down the road called memory lane...

when I was in high school these are the types of music I listened to. kinda ballad, mellow (I really have no inkling about genres until now! I just love music and I believe that labels do not really matter. My tastes varies from time to time and who am I to put it in a box. :)

so back to high school...I memorised Bread's album by heart, love Angela Boffin, The Carpenters and many others. This song in particular was my favourite (that time) that it was even incorporated on my yearbook. :)

But who's to blame?
For a love that wouldn't bloom
For the hearts that never played in tune
Like a lovely melody that everyone can sing
Take away the words that rhyme, it doesn't mean a thing

I wonder who'll say these lines for me...

But God I miss the girl

And I'd go a thousand times around the world just to be

Closer to her than to me

Dramarama lang... I'm so lazy to go out this afternoon! haaay.

a reminder from the past

I am feeling down these days and I was cleaning up my emails when I found this letter of a friend of mine. This is a response to my "Changing Sails" blog entry few years back when I was on the verge of giving up lawschool.... Now I'm on the verge of giving up again, maybe this life is not for me. hmmmm

I commend you for having the courage to bestow upon yourself an ultimatum that will truly change your life. It takes a lot to do that, to decide what you want and to finally own it.

 

It is really scary to suddenly do away from a comfort zone to travel a path unknown. People sometimes tend to stay put because the uncertainty of being involved in new things fear them. But those restless spirits will come to a point to seek the uncertainty and risk it so to feel alive again.

 

We both know how demanding Law school and how it has dominated our lives. But we continue to embrace it for we have the conviction that it is indeed part of our dreams.  Many times, no matter how passionate we are and how strong our will insist, failures and hardships seem to attract us to feel cold towards the burning desire we have build up.

 

(prettytwistedchick!ha!), your family and friends (including I) may always tell you to “never give up”, “that you can make it”, “that things will get better”, “just be patient, and all ends well”…… but I know, there are just times that encouragements are not enough to push and keep you going.

 

I very much understand your “ultimatum” and I will support you for whatever your heart and spirit desire.

 

But may I say this to you,

 

You are still young my (prettytwistedchick). I believe that age is just a number. It is the state of mind and heart that makes one’s spirit feels old. Whatever endeavor you’ll choose, just remember that it is never too late.

 

“Man may make plans in his heart, but what the tongue utters is from the Lord. All the ways of a man may be pure in his own eyes, but it is the Lord who proves the spirit. Entrust your works to the Lord, and your plans will succeed. The Lord has made everything for his own ends, even the wicked for the evil day. In his mind a man plans his course, but the Lord directs his steps”

-         Proverbs 16:1-4; 9

 

Do not be afraid, (prettytwistedchick). The uncertainties will come clear in God’s time.

 

Others may not approve, some may get hurt, few may not understand; but, it is your approval, your feelings and your understanding which is more important.

 

Whatever your plans and choices will be….you either being a fresh-water fish or salt- water fish…..Your family, your friends, and I, will be your corals in the ocean of life ;)

 

 

Always,

xxx

I wish life is simple...but we don'y always get what we wished for, right?!

food down the memorylane

inipit + chocolate cake = one happy twisted chick! :P

I was on my way home last Friday and I decided on dropping by at SM Makati. As I roam my way around the ground floor, one cake caught my attention.

Hungry Pac chocolate cake were being sold!

delightful red box

Hungry Pac was introduced to me by my friend, Posh. She told me that every Friday (until Sunday--I think), SM Makati sells these uber delicious delicacies and other food. There are a lot of choices to choose from...there are bbqs, salads, flans, brownies and cakes. She particularly introduced me to hungry pac chocolate cake, given that I amn a certified chocoholic and a pastry-lover! Sometimes, Posh and I will travel home together (we live in almost the same area), we would pass by SM Makati and buy some pastries.

what's inside the box

Once introduced, I was immediately (undoubtedly!) hooked! Thats why when I passed along SM Makati, I couldnt help myself but to (unconsciously *yeah, right!*) keep one eye open for that pac-man looking character.

can you almost taste the rich, moist chocolate goodness???

*drooooool*

I like Hungry Pac...its cheap (first and foremost hahaha for the ehem ehem thifty person like I am haha). also it comes in different sizes. The chocolate frosting is generously spread all over the cake (which I like--very much!) and lastly but most important, the cake is moist!

another (yummy) pit-stop!

But then when I was on my way to the counter, I saw a familiar looking green, plaid box that brought so many high school memories to mind.

peek-a-boo!

It was a Eurobake box of Inipit!!!!

I got so excited because it has been ages since I last tasted an Inipit from Eurobake. In fact, I was still in highschool when I last had a bite of that delicious Bulacan delicacy.

temptingly irresistible!

In high school, I have a friend named Karla. Her family resides in Bulacan but she and her brother had an appartment near our school. During weekends she would go home to Bulacan and when Monday comes, she would always bring something for us (her classmates/friends). I especially loved her Bulacan's Inipit...(from Eurobake!). Somehow nothing compares to Eurobake's! (whoah, I sounded like an ad there!) All the other Inipit being sold in the grocery tasted dry and lacked something...they lacked "ummfff" of a great inipit!

wanna bite? :P

So naturally, I bought it as well! (Because I just HAVE to HAVE it!) :D

These goodies that so many memories...so many tummy-filling, enjoyable memories with friends! :D

*sigh*

still on a sugar high...
