I came across this poem a couple of years ago in Speech class and it stuck on me like heavy duty glue ever since. No other form of writing has captivated me more than this and I looove the memories that came along with it.
That night, while I felt the sand on my feet and stargazed til my eyes (more like heart) ached, I played the lines in my head and realized that I too, can be as strong as her and have the courage to walk away from it all.
Hmm.. i wonder where all this drama is coming from. lol.

AFTER A WHILE
Veronica A. Shoffstall
After a while
you learn the subtle difference between holding a hand and chaining a soul
and you learn that love doesn't mean leaning
and company doesn't always mean security.
And you begin to learn that kisses aren't contracts and presents aren't promises
and you begin to accept your defeats with your head up and your eyes ahead
with the grace of woman, not the grief of a child
And you learn to build all your roads on today
because tomorrow's ground is too uncertain for plans
and futures have a way of falling down in mid-flight.
After a while you learn that even sunshine burns
if you get too much
so you plant your own garden and decorate your own soul
instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers.
And you learn that you really can endure
you really are strong
you really do have worth
and you learn
and you learn
with every goodbye, you learn...

My siblings and I were dying for another beach outing before we officially welcome the wet season and luckily, dad heeded our call. This, I did not expect sin…
○ Our long overdue joyride. The fam decided to hit the road, break-in the new SUV and head down south. We've all been wanting to visit Boljoon Church once…
It was the perfect to day to celebrate! I was so darn relieved when the sister told me that we were pulling an all-nighter for K's bday celeb. A day before the said event, the sister and I were freakin' bored that we went for a midnight stroll around the sub to catch some fresh air. It felt like I was slowly wilting just by staying indoors on most days. I was dying to down a grande! I remember my college days when after class hours, the gang would drive up to the nearest bbq place to relax and unwind. Completing the moment with booze, marlboros and ngohiong. My heart cringed at the very thought. I miss them people sorely!
So when the sister's friend informed us of her plan, I was ecstatic!
At long last! My much needed breather! I couldn't quite remember the last time I went out (cos that was like eons ago) and this, THIS is what I've been hoping for ever since our joyride to Boljoon was canceled.
Oh sweet joy! This must be the work of the god of spontaneity! I am ever thankful!
It was the last day of the Penthouse Fashion Series with Mique Yapching as the featured designer.
Lucky timing K's birthday bash was. This was my (ahem, admits shamefully LOL) 3rd time to see a fashion show in the flesh! "Pity" was RJ's fave words for the evening and I don't blame him!
Sadly, I wasn't able to take lots of pictures cos the girls and I were so caught up in the moment. lol.
Once Again, Happy Birthday Beb! Your party was a blast! We all had a great time.
