He's not a man of many words but when does this, it's plenty enough. ;)

My 10 Favorite Things about Him: #01
01. His Honest Expressions
When there are things that bother him and he tries to hide it, I only have to look at him and then I'll know. His awkwardness on the first date, his confident advances, his amusing smiles, his sad-looking eyes during tough times, his tipsy eyes followed by a yawn, his menacing look, his angy face, everything... if I could just wrap them all up in a box and tie my name tag on it so they could all be mine, I would; but if I did that, he might hate me for it so no, I'll let him the way he is. He's beautiful that way. ;)
There are still so many more things to discover about him. Each day is as exciting as the day before. I wonder what his favorite things about me are. Hmm...I'd leave that thought to him.
Always,
Aia

Message in a Dream
There’s this dream that I want to share with you. A dream God used so His message could reach me and give what my soul was craving for – peace.
It was during the time when my heart had its first broken experience. Every day was just like the day before – dull, meaningless, empty. I couldn’t think straight. I couldn’t smile like I used to. It felt like every thing’s confusing, like I was there but I wasn’t. Every night I prayed to God for the strength to get through it all. Every night I cried to God why all had ended just like that. Though during the day I would gather my strength to keep myself together; every night, I shattered – I was so broken up inside.
Then one night, after praying to Him, I had this dream. It was in a place where we went a week before he said goodbye. We were on a rubber boat waiting for the next wave to come. When the tie was released, we raised our hands up. We clearly were enjoying the ride as the waves came at us. I was so happy with him by my side. It had been like that for a couple of rounds.
Then, at the next bend, there appeared a crossroad. I was too overwhelmed with the current thrill that I didn’t take notice of its presence. When the boat took a hard turn to the left, he was gone. I was so frantic looking all over for him. Different emotions took over me at the same time. I was so sad, so worried, so angry, so frightened that I lost him.
While I was at confusion, I didn’t notice that the boat was moving along a serene lagoon. I was too absorbed with my worries that I failed to notice the beauty surrounding me and took them as nothing but dull scenery. Despite the magnificence of the place, I continued my weeping.
Moments later, the rushing waves returned and I was holding unto my seat again; I was screaming on top of my lungs again; I was having fun again. Before I realized it I was me again. There I understood what God wanted to tell me: no matter how rough the circumstance was, no matter how hard reality would hit, no matter what – He knew it will be okay in the end. He knew I was going to be alright.
When I woke up, a single tear dropped from my eye and something inside me started flourishing. It was Him. His message evidently remained in my heart and filled the empty spaces – making it whole again. And at that instant, I found it – I found peace.

Aia's Jewels
Let me introduce to you the most beautiful, most amazing, most talented person I have ever met -- my best friend: NOVA NIÑA "bang" T. JUAREZ.
She's been my best friend since way back in high school during our fourth year. She's the best gift yet God ever gave me. No one is as blessed as I am to have a friend like her. I love her so very much now and forever.
Very beautiful, isn't she? ^_^
I also had my two close friends from college -- DANICA ZAIDA "aika" BROFAR and BLEZEL "bheng" PADILLA. We used to be stuck together like glue during our first two years in college however, the both of them had their own journey but somehow we managed to connect with one another even after all those years. I really enjoyed their company.
And then, my closest male friend ever -- JOHN JOSEPH "dong" RANARA. He became my friend during our SOEP (a bridging program conducted by DOST for the newly awarded scholars). He was the silent type who always had headphones on his ears and sleeping during break time. I really enjoyed conversing with him, like my best friend, I could talk anything under the sun with him (except I can't talk with him until dawn like I do with Bang.XD
They're the jewels of my life and I love them all. I am so blessed!XD
Lesson of the day: Count not the things you have lost but the blessings you already have.
Baka Fukko
Feelings blinded you that you stubbornly refuse to face the truth
All your attention was captured by that beautiful goldfish in a bowl
That you fail to recognize the vast ocean just outside that window
You thought that it was the most beautiful fish on earth
That it was happy with you while you come and play with it
You knew that goldfish was not yours but you were playing with it
That fish might complain and say it wants to be free -- do not fall for it
It will die once you let it out; it does not want to be free
It loves its bowl -- kisses it every morning, sleeps with it at night --
So much that it is willing to be trapped in it forever and always.
You are just a temporary playmate he was willing to play with
It flicks its fins to astonish you, winks its eyes to spellbound you
But it does not and will not love you back as you do for it -- So what?
Heck – that’s just a fish in a bowl! There’s an ocean out there
Go fish yourself a more beautiful, more amazing catch – stupid hook!
