Of weddings...

I just realize, two of my closest friends are getting married this year. That leaves me the only one who won't have any band on my ring finger by the end of the year. Unconsciously, I keep on looking at the mirror today. Am I really that undesirable? I wonder...



Always,
Aia

If I Had a Passport...

If I had a passport, the first place I'd like to visit would be JAPAN! And when I go there, i would go there during spring time. I'd love to see the sakuras (cherry blossoms) lined up in full bloom.

Winter season would be nice as well. I'd soak myself in their hot spring baths as I play with the falling snow. (That would be so cool!) But then I had to make myself be able to adapt to a very, very cold --freezing-- temperature, because right now, I'd shiver at the medium speed of my junior fan. No kidding!  >////< I guess I had to practice being in the freezer to be able to do this. 

And then, I'd try their okinomiyaki, takoyaki, taiyaki and so much more! Oh, of course, I'd also try donning myself into one of their beautiful kimonos. I wonder how I'd look...

There's just so many things I'd like to try once I get there. But, in order to get there I'd have to undergo a very long process.

To start with, I have to get a passport first. Hai, wakarimashita!

Itsumo,

Aia desu~

Something I Miss...

If there's one thing I miss that I did earlier this year, it's the Prana experience.

I'd love to go back and take a relaxing trip to their sauna, steam bath and jacuzzi bath!

Always,

Aia

Aia's an Aunty!

Enough with so much negativity, let me share with you this little blessing our family had last June: Carl Lawrence Reyson - my nephew.

Yes, you heard that right, Aia is now an aunt to her brother's newborn baby. Well, since I'm also one of his godmothers, I'm his Aunty-Ninang. But when he grows up, I'd prefer him call me "Ate".

Here are some shots I had of him during his baptism last August 14, 2011:

He always clamps his fingers. When I tried openning them up, boy, was he strong! He does this pose once in a while. One finger out for a "Close-Open" trick, I guess.;)



Posing with him for the first time with my brother at the background.



Posing with him are his two beautiful Ninangs: Aia and Bang!

As soon as I had him in my arms, he fell asleep almost immediately. ;)

Don't ask me how my brother made a pass on me although I'm a year older than him, but I'm just glad this angel came into our lives and gave us one more reason to be happy.

However, my brother will still have to pay me big time for making that pass. Hmph...

The happy aunt,

Aia

People Think...

People think I'm very childish, I won't deny

What's the delineation of maturity and childishness? Can someone tell?

Does it mean I must not be bothered by the false accusations they throw at me?

Does it mean I have to clothe myself the way they do?

Does it mean I have to speak, act and think like they do?

When people say I'm childish, does that make them mature?

Because I dress up, act, speak and think like I do, does that make them proper men/women?

Tell me then, what does it take to be mature?

People think I'm not a "prim and proper" woman.

I have just stepped into the early tweens of my life, do I really have to look like I'm +8 of my age?

I am a homebuddy.

I am not fond of night-outs or clubbing or parties or whatever you call it.

I do like sing-alongs with close friends.

And I do like dressing up prettily.

I have insecurities about my look so when I dress up, I make sure I look good on it.
Does it make me improper?

Oh, and can a man and a woman not be friends?

When talking and laughing and joking with the opposite sex, does it mean you're flirting with them too?

When seen riding with them in their wheels, I always thought it's called hitching a ride; I didn't know it's dating now.

Is that improper too?

So, how does one act to be a "prim and proper" woman?

People think.. oh I don't care anymore.

I know myself better than any of them.

If being mature means having the liberty to judge a person (as if they were God) according to their standards and spreading malicious information against another person, I'd rather be called childish.

In the end, they won't be the judge of me and I to them.

World peace,

Aia
