Running Wild inside my Hollow Shell

 For the most part of October, I came home to an empty flat. Cold, lifeless and light less. The deafening silence creeps me out that my imagination starts to run wild in the wrong way. I usually ends up turning the radio to its highest level until no slight of foreign sound will ever catch my ears. When it gets worse, I feel like just jumping out of the balcony. I do prefer to have a flatmate but I wish I'm just living with my cousins or a family member. I haven't talked or seen my flatmate for more than 3 weeks now. Her door is always shut and she sneaks during the wee hours. I'd rather fly nonstop than feel the hollowness of loneliness in this house.

 Today, after a movie and some catching up with some old friends I can't believe how things change so dramatically for the past few months. For the first time, I just felt  so certain  about so many things in my life. Things do happen for a reason. Sometimes it leaves us hurt then later on we figured it's just for the best. Old lovers remain old and forgotten and forgiven, old dreams never die, and dead loved-ones will always stay alive as I wait for the day of resurrection and reunion. I am full of joy while tears won't stop running down my cheeks. Sometimes I just want to freeze time, to just push the PAUSE button and take the words that has been spoken. I want to stretch time somehow though, to believe in forever and never-ending joy. I wanted my childhood back so much it breaks my heart how much I long to be with my Mom and just replay those moments when we're just all together, with my brothers and my Dad in our house where laughter used to thunder every single night. Now that we're all adults, separated by career, family responsibilities and perhaps destiny I just can't help but ponder on those happy days. I wanted us to just be close-knight like before. I don't want to let the years pass by us getting used to not seeing and spending time together as one family. Life is short so why not spend most of it with people who matter the world to us.

I miss home.
I want to be with my Dad.
And it's going to be Christmas soon.

In this life temptation is quite inevitable. One day you bump into someone whom you are so physically attracted to, sometimes you just share a table with a stranger and you feel like you've known each other for years. You blush and you started imagining things. Until a strong voice came right into your ears reminding you of what is right. You're lucky to have what you have right now. You've come a long way to feel this way again. To feel right, to do right and it's just right to do everything to nourish the magic you found. You don't get lucky all the time. And besides, there's no returning to past hurts and disappointments no matter how tricky that past seems to be. Once a cheater always a cheater. And lying for me is a great crime. Honesty is vital in any relationship both in  love and business. Giving you my word is like giving you my heart in a silver platter. I guess for me, once I made up my mind  in love or in some major decisions in life that's it. When it's over it just is, and when I decided to put my faith to the unknown and let my heart do the thinking I just let it, and unguarded. I am a risk-taker. I love adventure. However, I don't forget to put on my harness in case my hands slipped on the way up.

I feel so thankful for the amazing works of God who changed me for the better. I could have stayed there in that hole rotting in misery, not going anywhere. And now here I am  --after a dozen storms and heartaches,   is beaming with  hope, love and strength for the rest of my future. I don't feel sorry for the No's I have given to some who tried to win me over since they did not prove their worth anyway and  I don't feel apologetic for the person I have become. I worked hard. I cried an ocean and I continue to give my best. And here inside my pinkish heart you will find nothing but good intentions.

I constantly pray for my loved-ones safety and happiness.
I constantly pray that somehow how I live my life can inspire someone.

Good day all!

Sweet Nothing

back to Bangkok, seven years in the making

 I lost track of time. And you can ask me the date but I am for certain  that I'm just plain clueless what day is today. Yesterday I was just hopping from one Tuk-tuk to the next, and boating and being bombarded with the  view I used to get whenever my country gets hit by a typhoon and eating street foods in the outskirt of a great city with a rich culture. Then again, here I am back in my cocoon and planning to sleep at 8pm when I just woke up. I just disembarked early this morning  and yet again packing my cabin bag for another plane to catch early tomorrow morning. I am spinning. Nonstop.
   It's been seven years since I set foot in Thailand. In fact, it was my first foreign travel. It was exhilarating. I was just this student-on-a budget way back then with a great zest for adventure  now just a carefree traveler, but  still a bit stingy though.  
   No doubt I'm exhausted. But my latest gig in Bangkok and a turnaround in HongKong was just perfect.  Shopping is at its absolute best and you can never go wrong with Thai food. The weather reminds me of my hometown and of course every local almost looks like my own countrymen. I feel so close to home.

   Flying time is short and the passengers were just asleep. I was looking forward to get this in my Roster for months now and thank God it's just an amazing way to wrap up my great October month. Never get the feeling that it's Halloween even.

    and here you find the reasons why I won't get tired coming back to Thailand.... :-)
