READ: The Lost Files: Six's Legacy

I Am Number Four: The Lost Files: Six's Legacy

The story narrated Six's life before he met John Smith, while she's on the run with the Mogadorians together with her Cepan Katarina. The plot is fast paced - maybe the reason why it is only available in eBook.

I just finished reading the book and somehow, I was enlightened with how Six lived her life before. Now I understand why she fights with determination. I find her better than Four yet, there are still 4 or maybe 5 Gardes out there waiting to be known.

There's a deeper reason why I had to copy those lines from the book. I wouldn't have interest on those if they mean nothing to me. They speak to me. Loud. Perfectly clear.

Something Fashionable

Just this evening, I watched models work it on the runway for the Philippine Fashion Week Spring Summer 2012. Resort Wear Collection was presented by Ipanema from renowned fashion designers Anthony Nocom, Catherine Cavilte, Dave Ocampo, Lyle Ibanez and Raoul Ramirez.



I saw a lot of swimwear for girls with see-through dresses and slits up to there. Plenty of short shorts were worn by guys as well. If we could all wear short shorts, life would be fun!



Unfortunately, I don't have decent photos for my camera's not for occasions like this. Taking pictures would also interrupt me from focusing on the show (Which I'm glad I did!).



I'll still show you some though (Face palm!) but please, you have to forgive me if they appear to be distorted or something.

(If I only knew the name of that woman, I would acknowledge her here!)

(I don't really see their faces, do you?)

(I was really aiming for Daniel Matsunaga and Sarah Meier.)

(Mismo!)

Few things I've learned today and things I should not forget if again I will attend an event like this:

1. If I don't have a VIP pass, I should arrive at the venue earlier to get a good seat. We were seated at the sixth row. Not bad though but still I want to be in front or nearer.
2. It's my first time so I did not really mind dressing up. I turned out to be wearing inappropriate attire. Although there were plenty of us, I felt bad for myself.
3. I should bring DSLR camera but since I don't have, I'll bring a friend to do the job for me. I am that wise you know; and
4. To take more shots!



This ain't gonna be the last. Next year, the runway has to wait for me.

In The Dark

There are a lot of thoughts worrying me. I can’t find a way to escape from them. My troubled mind wants to just give up. I want to disappear from here and never come back.

Whenever I think of how my life sails nowadays, I get sad. There’s too much I can’t take. I believe that I deserve a life better than what I am experiencing right now. These crazy thoughts keep on swirling in my head as they roll and turn into a snowball.

I fear that one day they will make me explode.

With the help of Coldplay’s Every Teardrop Is a Waterfall, I am trying to drown every single preoccupation I have.

Harry Potter-ish

Who says I can't fly in a broomstick like Harry Potter? This photo will prove you wrong! Lol!


I have planned of doing something important today but I can't help but browse through the photos of our outing last Saturday. My priorities suck. If I fail, that's because of my stubbornness. My mind has its own way of shutting everything out and sometimes I just can't control it.


It's 1:14 AM and I haven't started anything yet. Oh well, it's time. Toodles!

Crazy Sunday

My can't-stay-at-home-on-a-Sunday monster was awakened by a text message from one of my closest friends asking for a meet up. We barely see each other since she decided to move out of our house. What I hate about weekends is that I am always hungry. I don't have food at home. I am too tired to cook. I always get up late. So going out means eating out!


I arrived at our meeting place almost an hour late but I was lucky she did not get mad at me. We rarely clash 'cause we know each other too well. We both filled our empty stomach that we ended up having stomachache afterwards.





(She did not cry. Her eyes are really like that!)





(Me with my signature pose!)


We talked about crazy things - high school and college memories and the friends we have at the province. Whew! We never run out of funny moments together! I didn't know what got into her when she agreed to buy me a shirt at Oxygen. When we were still kids, she would always treat me and I guess that's innate.



(She asked me not to post this but I'm telling the whole world.)


And before I forget, I got myself a purple mouse!



(It doesn't look purplish in this photo.)


It was a such a crazy experience sharing my Sunday with Tintin. Crazy is normal for us.

Rain On Her Broken Heart

The bitching rain thinks that we enjoy listening to it as it pours down droplets of water while my twin sister shed her teardrops caused by her broken heart.

This isn’t the first time I saw her cry and whenever she does, for the same reason, I wouldn’t be the first one she would talk to. I am known for not being in a relationship since I was born. That makes me your unreliable source for brilliant breakup advice. They might have seen that I am very resistant when it comes to this scenario. All that I would utter is ‘move on’. That’s pretty simple, straight-forward, it may lack a little empathy in there because it has been used many times. But yes, that’s the only thing one should do after the fall.

It may be too difficult (because moving on from a lost iPod surely put me into a bad emotional state) but she’ll make it through. Just like the others who got their hearts broken. Just like the first time she fell in love and lost it.

We all need to feel pain. We all have to have our hearts broken and we have to learn how to survive. We can’t continue being in a miserable, unhealthy, sunken condition.

If you’ve been kicked, don’t crawl. It might hurt but you should learn to stand up.

Although I’ve never said lots of comforting words, I’ve tried to at least make her smile. That’s the best thing I could offer. I sometimes put my two cents in based on observation which I believe would somehow open up her mind to what’s real and what she needs to do.

It’s still raining, yet she’s no longer crying.  I have this notion that it sympathizes with the current mood that she has.

She will be fine.

R.O.W

Here I am staring at my monitor thinking of how to spend my weekend. I’ve been so busy last month that I realized I never had enough time to rest. For this coming weekend, I am free. I don’t have commitments or plans to go out. I promised to stay at home and fix a lot of things in my room. My closet’s a mess with thrown clean clothes, socks, pants, undies and what have you. Saturday will be the perfect day to sort out all these messy stuff, and I also would like to get more sleep, work on my fitness and eat!

I have 2 more days until my rest day. And I mean it. Weekend’s going to be my rest day because after that, I will be busier than the bees again! Life on the go is fun but we have to slow down sometimes and just lay down.

Life At Work

There are a lot of variables that stuck me thinking today. First is the question ‘What motivates you?’. I was anticipating that our conversation will again lead you to asking me the question I do not know what to answer. It frustrates me not knowing how to respond everytime you snap that query.

Obviously work-related statements like this leave me dumbfounded, yet I will try to answer it now when I still have time to think.

I wake up everyday to spend it with the people that I love. Thus, I go to work because I have friends whom I love spending my time with. I guess you were right when you said that I am serious about my job but I am not really into it. My goal is to just do what I am expected to do and other than that, I am empty.

Thirst is what I feel for what I really want. There are a lot of things I am dying to achieve but at this point in time, I let myself to just stay in the sidelines – because I have no motivation – except to be with my friends.

I remember I told you I just want to be ordinary. I am that person now. My dreams are kept tied until the time comes when I am already tired of keeping them. I have had enough of dreaming but since they said to not let go of our dreams, I am keeping them.

Lately I have never been worried at work. I just get in and get out of the office. I laugh with my seatmates, talk about funny and unserious stuff, whine when we get tired and eat when hungry. Could these be my simple motivation?

One more issue that I am facing is that people can’t tell if I am serious or not. Then I found myself agreeing that part of it might be true. I always make people laugh. I throw jokes that sometimes my comments and answers are no longer being taken seriously. One told me to just let it be. He said that I am just a happy person that I am. I am currently thinking of separating my crazy side with the serious one but it’s going to be boring. Sometimes people just can’t take me for what I am. The same way I feel about myself at times. That’s why it surprises me whenever someone trusts and believes in what I am capable of doing.

Life at work when mixed up with my personal life gets a little heavy. For this reason, I’d rather just let everything be the way I wanted them to be. But it doesn’t mean that I will stay like this forever. I am just letting myself enjoy being normal. Later on, I will claim my spot in the supernatural ladder.

Motivation at work is not on my top priority list. These are my goals as of the moment:

1. Call every service master, waiter, cashier, etc. by their first name. That’s the reason why they have name tags on so why not make use of the opportunity to make someone feel recognized?
2. Smile to a stranger inside the jeepney asking you to pass his/her fare to the driver.
3. Make someone laugh/happy.
4. Block negativism, embrace reality and slay fantasy.
5. Save money so that any time soon I could leave my job whenever I want to.

These may change but these are what motivate me to wake up everyday. Simple joys bear more contentment than luxurious temporal things.

Let’s talk about work and I would just limit my answer when you ask. Let’s talk about life and I will tell you everything that’s in my mind.

Cebu, Bohol and cebu Again

The unplanned trip turned out to be the best I had to date! It was the cheapest and the most satisfying of all. Our only goal is to meet our virtual friends - friends that we met at our company's online chat; however, we have accomplished more than that. We were like taking on a journey without a map at hand, yet we did get what we wanted.

It is a pain to wake up early but I did not have trouble doing that. I bet I was so high that I did not feel the need to force myself out of my bed. But honestly, although I enjoyed this vacation, I was sleepy the whole time!

So how did my trip go? I am now ready to share it with you!

That's me and my travel buddy. And these are what we have been up to:

Outside Cebu Capitol.

Ayala Center Cebu, the best I've seen so far.

IT park reminds me of Cyberzone Fillinvest Corporate City in Muntinlupa.

Cebu City Hall

Magellan's Cross

Sr. Sto. Nino

Outside Larsian with our friend who happened to be having the time of his life at the same place.

My Joy! I am a sucker for sweet-kinda-stuff so I really enjoyed this place.

CnT Lechon where we had 3 plates of flakes and pieces of meat chunk that we weren't able to finish because we were so full!. A must-try food indeed!


It was my first time to taste orange shake and ube shake c/o Orange Brutus.

After roaming around the city (there were other things we did that I cannot discuss here), we went to Bohol. Our plan B was to go to Bantayan Island but since we found a very cheap day tour package and a very affordable hotel, we scratched it.


We even got a nice ride.


Man-made Forest

The Chocolate Hills although it's not that chocolate-ey when we went there!

Butterflies Conservation Center

At last, I've seen the tarsiers. I thought they were as tall as my thumb when they're actually as big as my fist.

This hanging bridge scared me. It's scary than the zipline!


Loboc Zipline made my Bohol trip unforgettable. I experienced how it is to fly!


We had to cool down a bit after such adrenaline rush. We rode a boat filled with food and we toured around Loboc river.

We could've just skipped this python but my friends wouldn't let the day pass without touching it. I am ophiophobic so don't ask me where I was


Baclayon Church. They said that there's an image of the priest who founded the church on the second photo. Can you see it?


At the Blood Compact Shrine messing up with the statues.

And that ended the day tour. We spent the rest of the day sleeping, hanging at the beach and the next day we went back to Cebu.

The last day of our trip would be something I will forever talk about! Our sky experience at Crown Regency Hotel was indeed breathtaking. We tried the skywalk, the edge coaster and the zipline. We did not claim our photos though because they were expensive. Here are the only shots we have:

I would recommend the zipline and edge coaster. They have other sky adventures that will be opened next year. I will definitely be back and try the free fall.


We had to try the famous Brian's baby back ribs at Casa Verde before calling it a day. I wasn't able to finish mine but it was really delicious.

The next day, we came home not just with pasalubong but with tons of memories worth keeping.

It's really nice to have friends. It was our first time to meet in person but we felt like we've known each other for such a long time. They were our tour guide and if not because of them, we would have not gone that far.

Our next destination will be Cagayan de Oro. It's gonna be us and more!
