Handed my Masters application today. The grueling wait will be within my veins until May. Funding my own education is a dream come true, except the life filled with frugality but it's going to be worth it.

I'm going to be ready for you, UP!

School, I can already smell you. Last year's wait can now happen.

Underneath our anger is usually a wounded heart. LET GO.

If it wasn't because of this blog, I don't think I'll be able to align myself back to my goals. It has proven its effectivity therefore I will be posting this year's goals and resolutions including few other things that I've delayed and needs work done.

You know what they say about how you start your year predicts how you'll spend the entire 365 days of it? Well, if that's true, boy, I'm in serious trouble! I slept in half of the day due to ushering in the new year but let's revise it a little to a much stronger perspective.

I say, declare what you want during the entire year and claim it. From spending a lot of firsts during the 1st of January, I am looking forward to tons load of more firsts to learn, work on and go to. I'm ready to grasp all the learning curve, surprise myself and give myself an extra push.

Funny how I traced back on my bucket list for 2010 and all that I declared was this : " This year is all about races and save up for more traveling bliss" and yes, 2010 brought me to tons of races and got me run for a cause. You'll be able to read about my running journey through The Flexitarian Runaholic Diary

365 days of Change. Be a change maker :)

Motives are different from well wishes and pure intentions. No hidden agenda. 

Back when I was in the states, this was on loop every single day. That was how many months and up until now, it still gives me the chills whenever I hear it.

Relaxing isn't? just a little saddening if you listen to it carefully though.

Thank you TRX Fitness Anywhere San Francisco , TRX FItness Anywhere Philippines, Reebok, Valerie Waters, Yoga, Curves and Plana Forma (NY's Physique 57) for saving my life! :)

I miss the kind of sore I had during the certification, I sure do! 

From the TRX training hiatus, off I head back and condition for something big coming this September. It's not going to be easy but I sure am ecstatic for the challenge it'll make me conquer. May I walk the talk well. 

Cheers 2011!

 "Leave him and men will come.."

That's what one of my girl friends said before we capped the night during joko's birthday overnighter. The girls cuddled in one bed and shared a comforter fit for 3, oh, there were 4 of us - who snuggled the comforter more, eh?

It's been weeks yet it only sunk into me.  I knew I have already let go of few burdens (or the most among all), although the men (more like, boys) came in and out; somehow I miss the feeling of crying until you can't cry no more. Call me a little masochist but crying is refreshing and often, it can be one of the indications of realizing how much you care or love.

It's refreshing to cry, but why am I?

There's nothing for me to reminisce which will remind me of yesterday anymore since I returned everything, gave away those old clothes I kept for years in my closet months ago and pretty much had everything depleted to be forgotten but memories are there, it's just there and as much as most or some are and will be forgotten, the happy ones were left especially that fleeting feeling I had for you and what we had for each other.

I forgave myself already from yesterday albeit there were so many questions left unanswered but life must go on and it has been said and done. 

Crying is a good thing and I'm just glad I'm reminded by how much I used to love when I was young and ... stupid, stupid for letting go of that man whom I was undeniably in love with.

Don't get me all wrong, I'm happily situated and well taken cared by this man who loves and cares for me like no other, it's just that, I just can't help but remember ....

... that certain feeling you just can't explain further.
