“They say two wrongs don’t make a right So if I’m wrong, I ain’t tryna fight I’m tryna have some dinner wit some candlelight Lay up in tha bed and make love all night So papi I won’t leave, maybe I’ll just stay But promise me that you’ll do the same Girl I’mma love you, like I never loved you Touch me, like you never touched me Yo, if you give me the chance girl, I’m gone show you”

“I like punk rock. I like girls with weird eyes. I like drugs. I like passion. I like things that are built well. I like innocence. I like and am grateful for the blue collar worker whose existence allows artists to not have to work at menial jobs. I like killing gluttony. I like playing my cards wrong. I like various styles of music. I like making fun of musicians whom I feel plagiarize or offend music as art by exploiting their embarrassingly pathetic versions of their work. I like to write poetry. I like to ignore others’ poetry. I like vinyl. I like nature and animals. I like to swim. I like to be with my friends. I like to be by myself. I like to feel guilty for being a white, American male.”
- Kurt Cobain, excerpt from his Journals.

“I can’t help it, I love the broken ones,
The ones who need the most patching up.
The ones who’ve never been loved,
Never been loved, Never been loved.
And maybe I see a part of me in them.
The missing piece always trying to fit in.
The shattered heart, Hungry for a home.
No you’re not alone,
I love the broken ones.”

…awwwww!
In life, we do lots of things. Some we wish we could take back. Some we wish we could relive a thousand times. All of these things, positive and negative, have taught us important lessons and have collectively made us into the person we are today. If we were to reverse or adjust any of them, we wouldn’t be who we are; we would be somebody else.
So just live, make mistakes, make memories, and take chances. Never second guess who you are or where you’ve been.

Feel free to print it and put this up on your work desk as a daily reminder. Stay happy and positive! :)
Stop spending time with negative people.
– Start spending time with nice people who are smart, driven and likeminded. Relationships should help you, not hurt you. Surround yourself with people who reflect the person you want to be. Choose friends who you are proud to know, people you admire, who love and respect you – people who make your day a little brighter simply by being in it. Life is too short to spend time with people who suck the happiness out of you. When you free yourself of negative people, you free yourself to be YOU – and being YOU is the simplest way to live.

I am an avid reader of the blog http://www.theplumpinay.com (it is a body-appreciation blog site founded by twins Danah and Stacy Gutierrez, which aims at helping plus-size women (like me!) love their bodies and find their true self-worth) … where I got the idea to write about my recent dilemma that is somewhat related to embracing my figure while shedding off a few not-so-worth-it-so-called friends.
These are my best friends, Vivian and Xez. We’ve been friends for 11 years (and counting!) and we’ve been through the happiest and roughest of times during the past decade. We all met in Highschool and had been inseparable ever since.
Actually, there used to be four of us, but nowadays I only hang out with the two of them since I decided to let go of the other one forever.
Why the hell did I do it?
I reached my breaking point when my sister Nin and I went to a week-long visit my late Mama’s hometown (Hinunangan, So. Leyte). We were gearing up for our Zipline adventure in Agas-Agas Bridge, and I - overwhelmed by excitement - updated my FB Status immediately. The ex-best friend immediately comments with the usual comment, mainly about the bridge not being able to support my weight —- simply put — about me being too FAT to do it.
I know it was meant to be a joke but still I was enraged, cause this isn’t the first time this person has offended me with such comments. Why can’t he just be fucking happy for me, for once? So I, -overwhelmed with anger -, went ahead and answered his comment (and honestly I don’t really remember the bigger part of it, though I am sure I haven’t said any bad word for that matter). After a little exchange of angry comments, I went ahead and permanently deleted the status and blocked this person from my FB account altogether.
Later that day, we went ahead to our Zipline adventure. And while I was strapped to it and flying above the beautiful mountainous area in Sogod, I promised myself I will never let myself be trampled on again. As the saying goes, “Life is too short to waste on negative people”.
These past few years, I was always conscious with the pictures I post on my personal FB page, cause I know that person would always be armed with a negative comment and I will always have to be there to defend it.. either by commenting back as though it was just a joke or sometimes, I just delete his comments anyway since I don’t like them.
I’ve never had a problem with criticism really, but I believe that person knows the borderline between constructive criticism and just being plainly negative. He was my best friend for crying out loud! It went on for as long as we’d been friends until in August , when I decided to end it. The comments had always been hurtful and destructive, and from someone who’s coping from losing a mother —- dealing with such is the last thing I need. As it said on one article from plumppinay :
“The people closest to you should build up your self-esteem, not knock it down.They may think they’re offering helpful suggestions, but they’re not. So let ‘em know: it’s my body and my business. Stop projecting your hangups on me. Go eat a Twinkie and leave me alone.”
I owe it to my girls, Vivian and Xez —- for having always understood my mood swings and for always respecting my decisions. And also for respecting me as a person; for knowing when to criticize and when to be a true friend.
I am not asking for too much really, just a little respect.
… I know it’s been a while since I updated my Tumblr page —- I’ve been out partying these past few weeks (you know, Christmas parties, reunions and gatherings are everywhere , and they’re just so hard to miss!!!). Anyways, here’s some of the memorable scenes I captured:
… my song for 2012! Been a while since I scored a real good song off this genre. Can’t help but l♥ve Lupe Fiasco and his music! :)
Cheers to more “ME” love for 2012… :)
“I’mma keep it cool, and I’mma do me
It is what it is and that’s how it’s gon’ be
Until I get there
Until I get there
And yeah I got flaws, I know I’m not perfect
But all ups and downs, will soon be worth it
When I get there
When I get there”
… watching these scenes from UP just makes my heart break. Keeps reminding me I’ll never see my parents grow old together, and that I couldn’t do anything to change it.
I feel so pathetic.
