I just want to share with you this poem which was one of the creepiest things I have ever done. HAHA. This is the first poem that I have written in my entire life so forgive me, my dear poets. -_-Why am I posting this? Simply because I'm complicated. ^^

Disclaimer: This poem is written by a lousy-way-far-even-from-a-frustrated-poet. (*grin*)

Walking alone on a starry night,

bringing these feelings I couldn't fight.

I look up the dark sky as dark as  what I'm feeling inside,

one star stands out and how my eyes adore this sight.

I wonder why this star is alone.

It's far from other stars and it's shining bright on its own.

How I wish I could get it from where it is,

and be with it forever and always.

However, it seems unreachable and I'm not just capable.

If I'm lucky enough then maybe that star may just fall

and I'm just here to catch it and be my all.

This star will always be mine and 

I'll keep admiring it all my life.

And while looking at my star in the night sky,

a spark of hope pops out of my mind.

This fleeting downheartedness will hopefully come to an end.

One day, a star will fall and make this dark heart of mine brighten.

Till next post, lovies. Ciao!

"This little light of mine, I'm going to let it shine."

After that delightful dinner at 10 Dove Street, my friends and I decided to check out the 3-week old garden cafe which is also nestled in the same location just a few steps away from the aforementioned quaint restaurant: Oakridge Garden Plaza Cafe. We just wanted to check out the place but the staff or the manager (huhu. idk, sorry-_-) invited us to come over and have a trip around so that we can also invite some other friends to visit this new attraction.

Oakridge Garden Plaza Cafe is open from Mon-Thurs: 4:00 P.M. - 10:00 P.M. and from Fri-Sun: 4:00 P.M - 11:00 P.M. This is a good place to enjoy a dining experience, the al fresco way. The candle lights are what making the place more romantic and relaxing. What's more? You can also enjoy a live band performance on the weekends. You can definitely have a wonderful time catching up with your fellows in this garden cafe. They have a selection of wines and some treats but it's not limited there! You can also enjoy foods from Pancake House (27% surcharge), Starbucks and 10 Dove Street (15% surcharge). I am definitely looking forward to chatting with my girl friends in this place.

To give you an idea of their menu, here are the price ranges of what they are currently offering:

Pancakes and Waffles

2 pcs. PHP 180 - PHP 250

3 pcs. PHP 220 - PHP 260

Sandwiches PHP 225 - PHP 365

Pies PHP 150 - PHP 175

Rolls PHP 130

Quiche PHP 150

Ice Cream Shakes PHP 100

Chilled Juices PHP 64 - PHP 70

Beverages PHP 44 - PHP 150

A slice of cake from 10 Dove Street - PHP 92

We walked around like bosses.We were like the owners as there were no other diners at that moment. teehee:) Here are our pictures, enjoy!

"A Sweet Journey."

A sweet journey not just for the featured restaurant in this write-up but for my dear batchmates slash friends and me as well. May 21, 2014 marked our 2nd year as colleagues in a prestigious corporation. It is kinda awe-inspiring that we have been doing the same daily grind for the past two years that even I couldn't imagine how I was able to surpass every single day. Daammn, it's a whole lot of patience and perseverance yet also a whole lot of fun and a great learning. However, it wouldn't be all possible without the help and support of the wonderful people surrounding me. You know who you are! Thanks a lot! I truly love you all ♥ To my dear batchmates, we started from 12 and now we are down to 3. May we continue to support each other. Though we may have different and hectic schedules, may we always find time to catch up with what's going on with our lives. Let's make our journey sweeter and may the odds be ever in our favor. :)

As a post-anniversary celebration, we decided to eat out in one of the newest attractions in the metropolis which is currently on their soft opening. The New 10 Dove Street. This quaint cafe had its humble beginning in Sto. Niño Village, Banilad. Unfortunate as you may think, I wasn't able to visit the place (*sigh*) because I couldn't find the right time and the right people (pardon my excuses. HAHA). I am just so glad that they moved to a new location which is more accessible to the public. They are now located at Oakridge Business Park in Mandaue. It's a new location yet they promise to keep the same tradition. Sweet:)

They are open from Mon-Sun: 10:00 A.M. - 10:00 P.M. We went there at around 4 P.M. and I guess that is a good time to visit the place if you don't have any reservations. We stayed there for over 2 hours and there were more people coming over in the evening.

The Place.

I am truly, madly, deeply in love with the place. The vintage and classy decorations are simply adorable. The  cafe's country style is what making the place more homey. It's like breaking away from the city yet you're not actually moving away from it. Get it? Get it? HAHA. So, I've got a bunch of pictures for you guys:)

The Story Behind 10 Dove Street.

Music has always been a part of my life. When my words couldn't express my thoughts, it always speaks for me. It is the best compadre I ever have. Music is my life. My life is a music itself and I'd like to share it with you guys.

I am opening up a new chapter in my blog and I call this "Story of my Life." It is my life's playlist. I'll share to you a list of my songs which truly conveys my sentiments, the dockable player can be found on the top of my page, with my favorite lyrics shown in my post. I can't promise to update this every month because it somehow depends on what I am going through at the moment.

Recently, life has been pretty tough. I tried my best to be as invisible as ever but am I too noticeable? Of all the people, why me? Gaahhd. It has been unfair to me which brought me to the point of saying, "Hey life, how dare you pick on me?" But then, I realized that everything has a purpose. Life is 10% of what happens to me and 90% of how I react to it. So, it made me think what's the point of wasting my 90% when I can gracefully exit and just be positive about this not-so-good moment of my life, right? It's difficult but with enough patience and trust to the One, everything will be under control. I am still grateful because this incident has opened my eyes to the sad realms of life yet I greatly consider as excellent lessons which can be my weapons as I continue to combat the unknown future.


I am not saying that I am a perfect person. I am even far from being one. I admit I make mistakes but at least I am trying to be professional and doing best on my own without using or persecuting other people. Now that my patience level is refreshed and stable, I'll be back to my usual self, to remain invisible to other people's eyes but try to pick on me again and I'll be your sweetest downfall. I have the best Defender! There's no hate in this post, just a few lessons learned and a set of songs which I want to share with you guys. Love and peace! Enjoy life and enjoy the music! ^^

P.S.: Thanks for the inspiration, my dear friend! You know who you are!

Till next post, lovies. Ciao!

"Even when someone is miles away, always remember that we are under the same sky, looking at the same sun, moon and stars."

Oh, Ed Sheeran! This is simply amazing. "All of the Stars" is one of the soundtracks of "The Fault In Our Stars" which will be played during the end credits of the film. This song is quite emotional as it is about loving someone from a distance and that it is not a determining factor to make you stop from loving that special person. I love the concept of the official music video which shows a collection of quotable quotes inspired from the story. So simple yet so full of love and positivity. I hope you guys check that out. Meanwhile, here are some screenshots from the video and I also got the MP3 for you guys. awww. The transition of the images is quite fast and some really have the blurry effect so it was a bit difficult for me to capture them well. That's what I call, "effort"! HAHA! Enjoy the pictures and enjoy your life. :)

Give me love, Ed Sheeran! ♥
