An open letter to ourselves

Memories will always be our shadows of the past.

There will be moments where we've shared anew with others,
Experienced a whole new adventure or tried being fucked up..
And not minding how others would think about us.
Because all along, we knew that we were just having fun
But later on realize, that we are actually making memories.

Depicted through pictures are good memories.
Wide smiles and wild vibes.
Candidly caught on shots are also memorable
Photographs of victory and success.
Melancholy can also be painted through a snap on one's eye.

Good moments..
The part where you may want to play and rewind the moments,
That will make you smile no matter what is going on with your life..
These are the moments that will tell you that you are with the best people at the right place and time.
That will remind you of how on track you are,
And try to pause and feel the happiness of such moment.

Bad moments..
The part where you may want to play and click stop,
That gave you pain in a heartbeat,
Reminded you of life decisions, regrets and mistakes.
And got you to question on why does it have to be replayed again,
One thing's for sure,
It was done to serve its purpose,
To remind us of life decisions and give us good lessons.
As the saying goes...
"If you don't do stupid things while you're young, you'll have nothing to smile about when you're old"

Now, anyone can testify,
That the best memories are those not captured by one's camera
Or caught on video of a certain "one of the books" moment
And eventually storing it to one's camera roll or micro SD, flash drives, hard drives..

But those moments caught and stored deeply in the mind and heart,
The kind of no pretensions and scripted kind of reactions,
The moments where you feel serene, spontaneous and at scheme.
And is one of things you might want to go back and hold on,
For these are one of the things that does not change.
Like a diary that you can carry about with,
That can't be destroyed nor reproduced.

Yes, some would wish they could have not done such,
Or some would replay it a million times in their heads,
But at the end of the day it is the memory that makes you the person you are now.
That shaped every detail of you
Making our memories so powerful,
It keeps on retelling your special moments,

And reveals your story of the present and the future.



The 4th of October 2015 (Ignorantia Juris Neminem Excusat) is one for my books. Experienced being in pain, in awe, in excitement, in happiness, in shame, in tense, in uneasiness. A day I may want to rape the replay button in my head a million times. C'est La Vie! With love, ishlim36

SUNDAZE

After all the stress and cram from last week's acads, today's Sunday, I finally had the time for my family as we gathered at our grandparent's house for lunch. Had a great one with them tho! Plus our Lolo Daddy who always sets the day in a light-hearted and gleeful manner, especially for me. (Who wouldn't be happy to have her lunch without books, paper works, quizzes and exams in mind that awaits before your table hahaha!)

(Incomplete)
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

Anyhow, my kind of Sundaze for today is to be able to catch up with my hobbies and that includes updating my blog! And one on my lists is to have a pictures in a formal-almost-kind-of-blogger-like Sara's, Carmen Hamilton's and Margaret Zhang's. But since I am on my so called "pambahay" get up, I had my sister as my prospect for my second blog this 2015!

Red "GIRL" tee xx cropped shorts xx black shoes

And so, around 3 pm of this day, I dragged my sister out of the house and took some photos of her and her basic style-ish. Yes, That's her style! I love how the combinations of basic colors make Sundays look great. (And yeah, I admit it, my sister can make basic clothing look stylish)



Who would have thought that a plain red "GIRL" tee, cropped shorts, black shoes and a good weather would work together?

SERENITEA DAVAO

SERENITEA IS A PLACE TO BE.

Two thumbs up for Davao's new place to chill and hangout. This is not just an ordinary tea shop for chit chats and catching ups but also a place to give time to one's acads for this place has its great lights, perfect place for studying!


Their affordable and must try teas are not your ordinary cup of tea. This would surely sustain you to Davao's next chill out place.

Okinawa| One of their best sellers

But what I like about this place is how it catches my attention. The interiors would lighten up one's mood. All the mantras, books, lights, mirrors are just so pleasing to one's eye, totally fits one's search for serenity. Kudos to its well thought concept, truly an IG worthy place!!







SERENITEA is located at Victoria Plaza Complex, J.P Laurel Ave, Bajada Davao City. Serving from Mondays to Fridays 11:00AM until 12:00AM
