Dreams are made of strawberry lemonade.

Our life is short, and the world is big.

“Forget regret, or life is yours to miss.”

Let us dream, so someday we can say that once upon a time we got to explore – and we let life unfold its scenes before our eyes and take our breath away.

But of course that doesn’t happen easily. I always believe that all the good times we have will be countered by unwanted ones. And I’m pretty sure that even the most optimistic people do lose hope sometimes. We can only do so much. Here’s one for you, friend. Keep on dreaming. ♥

How many special people change?
How many lives are living strange?

A dreamer dreams, she never dies.

You gotta run don’t walk, it’s really late
When you get off the train, meet me at the gate.
You gotta push don’t shove
Get it out of the way
Don’t wait any longer, do it today

You can count on me – I’m gonna get it done, get it done.
Hold that grip steady.

Dreaming with a Broken Heart

When you’re dreaming with a broken heart
The waking up is the hardest part
The giving up is the hardest part

I’ve been down and I’m wondering why
These little black clouds keep walking around…with me.

Maybe tomorrow, maybe tomorrow, I’ll find my way home.

Hayaan na muna natin ang mundong ito,

And even if somehow they could have shown you the place you wanted
I’m sure you could’ve made it so much better on your own.

In the light of the sun, is there anyone? Oh it has begun…
This world you must’ve crossed.

Sittin’ on my own, Chewin’ on a bone
A thousand million miles from home
When something hit me…

You took your last chance once again,
I landed, stranded.

Watching the wide world riot and hiding out,
I’ll be coming home next year.

Everything will be Alright

I’m coming to find you
If it takes me all night
Wrong until you make it right

To say the least, I thought, I’ve seen them all.

If You’re Missing (Come on Home)

Don’t it get lonely out there, little darling
If you’re missing come on home.

New year’s over.

Of how many times I have mentioned that I will soon post my resolutions for 2012 as I have my wish list for last year’s festivities, I can’t exactly remember. And I think most of us are like that, we’re so busy with whatever’s happening in our respective lives that we tend to let little things pass by, or try to compensate by treating things virtually, stuck in a mental post it note that works like our bookmark(s) – deleted before we read it.

So glad to have clicked on this design blog, that I am now able to post some of my 2012 resolutions things-to-do.

I have actually bought a guitar two years ago I think, but no worries:

because I’ve

and just

After all, we really have no choice but to

Cheers to the rest of 2012! √√

blue nails and an attitude

I just hung up on a Skype call with Chloe, one of my bestfriends way back from before my teenage years. Too bad she doesn’t have a blog where I can link you (just yet, let me continue my persuasive skills…).

Early yesterday I woke up and felt an urge to paint my nails. I was bored and painting your nails (at least for me) feels more courageous. Or at least it feels like you have more edge over things. That they are easier to accomplish. I don’t know how it works for boys, though.

Of course my grandma did not approve. She’s here for a vacation and more often than not I find myself busy with answering questions from her that go around why I spend too much time on the internet, and why I paint my nails such an, according to her, ugly color like blue.

This reminded me of what Chloe and I talked about. We’re passionate enough to chase after our dreams but we all need time to decipher what we really want to achieve before we can act on them. And belief is really important. I think no one can ever go towards what s/he really wants without believing. Either believing in the ways to achieve it or simply believing that it will happen despite not knowing what it exactly is yet.

It doesn’t matter how many times we’re discouraged by more experienced people just because they failed at it – the first time. Or it’s just because we explore at different ways of thinking.

*Insert some quotes on success here*

Going back to believing, it’s not only about believing in ourselves. I guess believing in other people doesn’t hurt, too.
