What are Friends for ...

A new milestone is set to begin for Orfa. As we bid another farewell to a very good friend, we would like to remember her in own little way through the laughs and giggles we've shared over lunches, dinners and escapades.

Till next episode Orfs. At sa marami pang chikkahan, chibugan at iba pa.

P.S. Apologies to the neglected photos of Carlyne, Grace, Lada etc.. medyo rush po to.

Aliw's Life Begins at...

10, 20, 30, 40? It's up for you to know and for me to find out.

Have you ever wondered about the meaning of your name? Or have you ever asked your parents why they picked that name for you when you were born? If not, then it's time to inquire or ask uncle Google about it.

As a child I was so curious with my name and my parents gladly explained that they took it from the Christian dictionary that we have at home. So I scrambled to find that dictionary and was happy to see the result of my quest. It says, Aileen is from an Irish origin and a term for Helen which means 'Light'.

Few weeks ago, a good friend of mine celebrated her natal day in the presence of several wellwishers. Fortunately, she's one of those persons I have known with a lovely name. (Just don't mind the Visayan equivalent of some words below.)

Aliw al´iw n. consolation, comfort v. to console, to comfort.
n. entertain v. 1 to interest, to please, to make fun for: maglibang, lumibang, makalibang, libangin, mag-aliw, umaliw, makaaliw, aliwin; 2 to provide entertainment for guests: umistima, istimahin.

Aside from being the best in all these aspects, she continues to inspire others with her simple ways. Praying for a more grace-filled years ahead of you sister.

I really thought that my quest would end that day. Yet it hasn't.

Let this be my aim each miraculous day among all others. "To live with abundance and joy as I connect with the light and create powerful intentions."

Setting Forth

Today's his last day in office and we planned to honor him with our simple tokens straight from the heart. One of which is this collage. Glad I was able to materialize the limited time we have. Adrenalin rush!

The Lord has sustained me all along.

Now it's time to say "till then" to Kuya L who will be setting forth for another journey with the Jesuit projects in Bangkok. Tonight we might be sending him with a heavy heart but with a full stomach! (^_^)

It Feels So Good

Friends are blessings.

To be blessed with kind hearted people is a pure bliss. It is said that whatever you asked for in prayer, it will be answered. True to it's words, it happened. Through a friend (Kuya L), I got a new job! God is really good! He knows I'll be broke if I continue being a monk. The best part is, I haven't gone into the normal process of application. No interviews, no exams just pure and simple chitchat and turnover of responsibility.

Happiness is written all over my face(^_^). The feeling of euphoria is what I'm trying to convey on my photo. This was taken last August together with my childhood friends and and at the same time school buddies (from right) Kathryn, Lizette, Christessa and moi.

Noodles and Dumplings

One fact or perhaps my misconception of getting full lightly is by eating foods such as noodles and dumplings. I found this newly opened shop right outside my hangout area-- Tops supermarket, always full of customers on queue. I waited and finally had my fill at The Canton House with few of my favorites. One good thing of having the hub around is not worrying about left overs. He will always try to finish the food because he feels guilty that many people are starving. This, I absolutely agree that is why I have to cheer him up before he'll let me finish it myself (^_^).

The new Canton House I'm referring to is in Future Park, Rangsit branch. It is right across Boots basement area.

The Red Sky Experience

How could I possibly describe the Red Sky experience? Two words perhaps, terrificly awesome!

As much as I could recall, its distinctive illuminated arch gave it a soothing mood in an open sky ambiance outside as I sipped my mango blended raspberry martini which they called Ying Yang. I feel soooo ecstatic ♡ (^_^) seeing the splendid nighttime view of Bangkok's skyskrapers over the glass walls.

I can't help but imagine soon-to-be-couples who will be carrying out their proposal on this 55th floor and the ultimate happiness that awaits them. This place is remarkably romantic I tell you.
