Elaine is soooo back!

It was a week day, tuesday to be exact. We haven’t seen her for a year so we really missed her. Elaine called and said that she wanted some steak, so we went to Makati Shangrila to satisfy her cravings.

It was a special week for Makati Shang for it’s a week featuring some Australian taste.

Circles is known for its excellent steaks but that night we didn’t expect that we will be eating 3 extraordinary kinds of meat namely:

1. Emu

2. Crocodile

and last but not least,

3. Kangaroo

Honestly, at first, I’m really afraid to try the unusual steaks for 2 reasons.

1. I always watch scientists protect these animals in National Geographic.

2. They are endangered species for crying out loud.

So there, I hesitated for awhile, but when we saw and smelled the aroma of the meat, we didn’t think twice but got pieces of every meat in front of us. It tasted so good that i even forgot to take pictures. So here are some pictures taken by momsey Elaine and popsey Sherwin.

are you excited with the food?

let’s see what’s in your plate

The buffet also offers Italian, American, Chinese and our very own — Filipino dishes. We also helped ourselves with some Japanese sushi and maki.

The night can’t end without some dessert.

Here are some pictures of cakes and chocolates that satisfied our sweet cravings.

Before going home, we decided to take some pictures and fool around.

It was definitely a night to remember. We’ll miss you Elaine and Sherwin – our momsicle and popsicle -!

When life comes crashing at you in the darkness…

Who will you choose to face it with?

Will it be someone you trust?

Will it be someone you love?

And will their love for you help them guide you to the light?

Or will they lose their way to the darkness like you?

Will they make noble choices?

Or will that person abandon you along the way?

Life comes crashing at you in the darkness.

When it does, is there someone in your life you can count on?

Someone who will watch over you when you stumble and fall

And in that moment give you the strength to face your fears alone.

We all have problems.

We all have fears.

We all have courage.

We all have strength.

Face life with all your heart and soul.

Soon you will realize…

Life’s not that bad after all.

When we’re feeling lonely…

We tend to think as if we are the only one who’s carrying the whole world on our shoulders.

Sometimes we deal with our problems as if we are the only person in the world…

Who’s struggling…

Who’s frustrated…

Or who’s unsatisfied…

Sometimes we lose hope and give up easily.

Sometimes it’s easier to feel you’re the only one in the world.

But in some places…

Someone is trying to find their way.

Someone is trying to find their place.

Someone is trying to find their self.

And if you just hold on,

And just find the courage to face it all another day,

Someone or something will find you.

And they will make it all okay.

Because we all need a little help sometimes,

To remind us that it won’t always be this way.

Someone to help us hear the music in this world,

Someone to guide us and lighten up our spirit.

That someone is out there.

And that someone will find you.

I know.

I did.

~ im thinking of you. only you while you’re away. te amo mi wai. always. ~

have you ever wonder what your life would be…

if you have a different family?
if you lived in a different country?
if you have unfamiliar friends?
if you wear a different set of clothes?
if you went to another school?
if you went to other places?
if you set your mind to other things?
if you didnt go the other way?
if you persue your other dream?
if you loved someone else?

what if we all made different choices in our lives?…

have you ever wonder what marks our time?
if one life can really make an impact to the world?
or if the choices we make matter?

i believe they do.
and i believe that one person can change many lives.
for better, or for worse..

making a choice will always be difficult.
but we have to stick by it.
we have to learn how to live with it.
with every consequence that comes with it.
so that we’ll be able to appreciate everything we have.

~you are the most wonderful thing that’s ever happened to me~

As i sat down in a dark corner one late night,

Lit my cigarette and suck as much smoke as i can.

I look up and stare at a starless sky,

I wonder where the stars could possibly be.

I realize that life is like this endless black space.

It is not always gleaming with bright bits of light.

Sometimes it is empty.

Life is full of contradictions.

 Sometimes it puts us in situations we didn’t wish for.

But it is also something we can control.

We all have to make choices.

Our choices help build our destiny.

Play and fight for what you want.

Gamble to have a better life.

And sometimes, hold back.

To preserve and protect what you already have.

And as I exhaled the toxic smoke,

I stayed still in the dark corner,

thinking what lies ahead.
