This is Memory Lane

Rizal Blvd., Dumaguete City

I just wanted to erase all recollections of that horrible last trip.
Thank you, Francis and Mia, for the dead-eye white-out.
Until next time :)

i've had prescriptive glasses half of my life.
and half the time i don't wear them :p

for one thing, i'm pango so i only have my ears to make sure they don't fall off.
it also got a lot in the way of my everyday life :p

i got contacts after college and i only got to wear them once.
it was an ordeal trying to put them on without anyone's help so needless to say i gave up trying hahaha.
i just resorted to my cute plastic specs and tried hard not to get annoyed at the old school lisa loeb reference.

i've been toying around with the idea of getting contacts again but given my legendary blink reflex,i was hesitant. i was afraid of blowing cash again on something i was not going to use.

but guess what, yesterday, i got a pair of lenses. putting them on took quite a while. it didn't take the whole day but if it was a task in the amazing race, we'd be eliminated. anyway i was able to put them on unassisted, so yay me!



so it's not the prescriptive ones that i need but it's a start.
vanity won over practicality eh. sue me.

back to basics

osho reduced it to two things:
people stay if they are happy
people leave if they are unhappy

so why not make people happy instead of expecting them to make you happy?
let it come from you.
besides, if you make someone happy, won't that make you happy?

it's that simple really.

when did it become so difficult?
that anyone would actually want to be defined by misery is beyond me.

i don't know why there are some who actually prefer being miserable.
forsan miseros meliora sequentur -- for those in misery, perhaps beter things will follow.
better ate, hindi bitter.

it's a good thing j gets it.

and i hope one day, you do too.

poveda repreznt!

eh hindi ako goldilocks eh.
ako yung ver HAHAHAH corny!
tama na nga.

ayan ang classic example ng 'greyish pallor' thanks to carl zeiss and his flashy thingy. i swear after that shot, phosphenes abound ngarf

we got stranded sa xocolat because it was raining really hard (see my hair? bad weather=bad hair) pero kebs. i was trying to take a picture of the rain kasi malaki yung patak nya and it was kind of pretty and ugly at the same time.

"iza, i can't capture the rain!" and she goes "... parang lang yan love ..."

i looked at her like she was some strange bruha and handed her the phone para sha na mag picture.
pinicturan si john lloyd. gotta love iza!

then we saw benny and lea and they hopped over, from coffee bean. laugh trip with benny and his "bora circa 97 sounds" hahaha and mistaking celine lopez for precious hipolito + lea's story about her 'avant garde' videographer who wanted to shoot the pre-nup sa bahay na pula in bulacan. heehee.

hay. these guys saved my sanity nung sunday.
after nun, i had to spend 9 hours in my hell with flourescent lighting.


ang buhay, walang kulay :(
