    "Sometimes the heart sees what is invisible to the eye." 

    Probably the saying "Love is blind" was taken from this very quote, or vice versa. We find ourselves saying "I don't even know why I like him/her so much", and I somehow find it a bit true. We may not know it consciously, but our heart probably does, especially if it makes you happy. Besides, the heart does all the feeling and the liking and other stuff like that, so it'll know. It may be wrong at times, stupid even, but hey, that's how we live and learn, right?

    We may acknowledge the feeling immediately, or just ignore the truth. It's still our choice anyway. Acknowledge it because we like it even though we don't know why. Ignore it because we really don't get why, or because we don't like it at all. As for me? Go with it, don't restrict yourself, especially if it makes you happy. You have the power, by all means, to choose to be happy. Why let yourself feel miserable if the happiness is presented right in front of you? Exactly. :)

    P.S.
    But remember, everything has their limitations; depending on your situation. I'm pretty sure you're old enough to know when it's too much. =D

  2. A Sudden Nostalgia

    Wednesday, January 18, 2012

    I've always found it hard to wake up early every morning, but today was an exception. I am pretty excited and pumped up, though yawning was unavoidable.

    It was a fine January morning. You can still feel the coldness brought about by the cold front, or something like that. I met up with the group, and of course, you were there, smiling as always. This was pretty much the highlight of why waking up early today isn't so bad, because I get to see you. We all went to the room, did our thing, and finally it ended. There was not much to do, classes weren't about to start yet, so we all had time to hang out. Although it was obviously cold, we still chose to eat cold stuff, inside a cold place, laughing at our own stories. All these coldness didn't stop my heart from feeling so warm, just by your presence. See what you've done?

    We were all joking around, I was starting to feel jealous because of that much attention you give her. How I wish you were like that to me as well. The stories ended, we all said our goodbyes, then went on our separate ways. There were times throughout the day, I was reminiscing what happened that early morning, and thinking that I wish we'd have more hangouts like that. It was fun, and I liked spending time with you. I didn't realize, things were about to change, and I'd get my wish, somehow.

    Now that I realize it, it's been 5 years...

    Weird pala no, when both of you know that you have (had?) feelings for each other, but it just doesn't work out in any way. Or could it be that you both haven't given it a chance yet? One small act could change it all.

  3. The Other JT

    Saturday, January 14, 2012

    This has been big news in the collegiate basketball world for the past couple of days since it's one of the most anticipated ever since the where-will-Kiefer Ravena-go drama. It's the other JT, Jeron Teng.

    Jeric Teng, Jeron's older brother, as we all know is part of the UST Growling Tigers. He's been playing for Coach Pido for three years now, and ever since Jeron entered his senior year, speculations of where he's going to in the UAAP has been circulating. It has been said of course that he would follow his brother's footsteps to Espana, but the possibility of going to other UAAP schools wasn't out of the question. With the talent that Jeron has, it wasn't surprising that even Ateneo and Lasalle are interested in him.

    Jeron once scored 104 points during a game in the Tiong Lian league. (Check my post about it here.) His stats are something that you'd really want to see in your team. So when the announcement of where he was headed for college was made, everyone was all eyes and all ears. The choice: DLSU.

    I first found out about it thru Jeric Teng's twitter account. Jeric tweeted: it would be weird but a challenge playing against @jeronteng next season of UAAP. :) have to work hard this offseason! 
    Right then and there I knew that Jeron was going to some other UAAP school. I quickly checked Jeron's formspring and twitter accounts to see where he was headed. Indeed, it was DLSU. Jeric even tweeted about it again: @jeronteng will play for DLSU.


    Jeron has been telling people up until last week that nothing was sure yet, and that they were just talking to different schools which includes Ateneo, NU and DLSU. There was no UST mentioned, so I'm not sure if UST did it on purpose that they did not recruit Jeron Teng, or there was just a better offer from the green and white. It was even mentioned at one point that the school was not talking to him. Of course I'm thinking, WHY???

    Well, wherever Jeron's headed to, good luck to him. He'll also be a good addition to the Green Archers. Personally, I really wanted him to join his kuya since it would also be a big help for the team. But it would be interesting indeed to see him play against Jeric too. One thing's for sure, the upcoming seasons of the UAAP basketball are becoming more exciting, and pretty much, we'll be hearing more "Teng" during basketball games.

    P.S.
    I'm loyal. Go Jeric! :)

  4. Yoboseyo! Annyeong haseyo!

    This is what happens when you immerse yourself too much into Korean stuff. But it's fun, and at least I get to learn a new language. =D

    How have you guys been?? Happy New Year by the way!! =D Now that we're in 2012, I know it's time for resolutions again, and new goals, reinventions, and the like. It's pretty exciting whenever a new year ushers in, but scary too in the sense that we don't know what to expect. But instead of having fear in our hearts, it's better to have hopes that this year will be better than the last.

    I for one can proudly say that my 2011 has been heaps better than my 2010. I am very thankful for everything awesome that has happened during the last year. I have to put those in another post so as to remind myself of the things that have transposed in the year that was. But now it's time to say goodbye to 2011, and welcome 2012 with a big hug.

    For starters, I have been telling myself that I want change in this year. There's one huge change I've been thinking about that I want to be able to accomplish within the first quarter of this year. If things work out the way I think they will, then I will be successful with it. One step at a time. Then, little by little, we'll work our way towards other changes.

    I haven't really thought of the concrete goals that I want to accomplish this year, except for that change. I'm thinking though about stuff like I need to watch more movies, I need to learn how to put make-up on, or finally get driving lessons, or continue learning how to play the piano. Probably that's for another post as well. I also need to get hold of a planner yet. I realized I need one because of all the stuff that's going through my mind. I'm thinking if I'm still buying since the planner that I wanted is already sold out, or I'll just figure out a DIY planner, as suggested by a friend. It'll save me some bucks and put my creative juices to a test. We'll see about that.

    Well, the first two weeks of the year has been kind of weird for me. There were problems, I got injured (ankle sprain), but there was still lots of fun of course. We got to spend time with Papa too which is really awesome. Sometimes even though how much you want a new start, some problems just carry on to the next year and you just have to face them again. Maybe just consider it like a new problem although in reality, it isn't. Nevertheless, I want to stay as positive as I could for this year. I need it for all the things that I'm thinking of doing for this year. I just need time to reflect and ponder on those things and I'm pretty sure I'm off to a rockin' year. I will also try to blog more often, and will try to finish those two other posts I've mentioned here within the week. Ciao! =D

    P.S.
    I want a retreat or a recollection of some sort. Caleruega, again, perhaps? :))
