from me to you
Hey there!
Welcome to the tiny place in cyberspace of a girl who blogs her blues away. And well, maybe out of boredom as well.
How on earth you found your way here may be intentional or completely random, but you're welcome to look around either way.
The navigations are on the ribbon. Just click on them to get around the page. Please do leave me a message on my tagboard so that I know you dropped by.
Thanks and enjoy! :)

the wallflower
Wallflower (wall·flow·er)
Definition
- One who does not participate in the activity at a social event because of shyness or unpopularity.
- A lady at a ball, who, either from choice, or because not asked to dance, remains a spectator.
As the term suggests, I shy away from a lot of things, parties and balls/dances being top 1 and top 2 respectively.
I'm a small girl you won't probably notice in a crowd. On top of that, I'm a natural klutz, the holder of a seemingly record-breaking list of misplaced items, an amateur anything, and an over-thinker who oftentimes lets her head rule her heart.
I'm still normal okay, don't get me wrong. haha... I'm a kid at heart who is easily pleased with simple things. One who carries a pinch of optimism, a tinkling of charm, and loads of laughs. I'm still trying to find my place in this vast expanse, but I'm having tons of fun along the way.
I'll find that light someday, I'm sure! But for now, I'll slow things down a bit and enjoy the ride.
My life's not the most spectacular thing that you'll come across, but it's worth a look :)

Thursday, January 01, 2009, 6:29 AM
 It's 6:29 in the morning and I haven't slept since we started waiting for the fireworks. I saw the sun rise again. haha...
Our family welcomed the New Year with a family prayer. I honestly can't remember the last time we did that. I felt misty-eyed after the prayer. It was as though every worry and angst I had over the remaining days of 2008 vanished. I'd keep this feeling forever if I could. My dad led the long prayer, and I'm really, really glad this was how we welcomed 2009.
We had lumpia, ham, lechon paksiw, macaroni salad, and garden salad for dinner - even better than the food we had for Christmas! haha...
At quarter to 12, my brothers and I joined our parents in our attic. There were less fireworks than last year. Come to think of it, this was the most disappointing display yet. The fireworks were ordinary and as I mentioned earlier, less. But! I enjoyed it anyway. It's the thought of New Year that should give me something to look forward to - much more than the fanciest firework they can launch into the sky. New Year this year was simple for our family - no outing, no other relatives. Yes, I miss the Aguilars and the de Leons and our annual family outings before New Year, but New Year with just my family is good too. Plus all the food to ourselves! haha :))
It was the first time that I actually reminisced on the past year as I watched the fireworks. I recalled all the new friends I made, all the silly escapades I became a part of, the mistakes and tears I drew character out from, and how much I've truly grown over the year (uhmm okay, growth can pertain to height too. haha). My 19th year - a wonderful one. It had been the most challenging, dramatic one yet, but I learned a lot along the way. After this year, I can, with all confidence, say that I am a stronger person.
Some things will change from now on, says my list of resolutions. I'm going to have to get used to a lot of things and tweak a few of my old habits as well, including putting 2009 instead of 2008 on my test papers. haha... I can do this! ha! 2009, bring it on!
And before I forget, Happy New Year everyone! :) Let's leave all our frets and regrets buried way, way down under. Time to start anew! To everyone who has been a part of my life, a big THANK YOU. I owe you sooo much for making my year another one to cherish. More and more memories to come to us all! Cheers! :D
