1. Isn't it so weird that things present itself at such a time when you need it the least but go elusive when you are in dire need of it.
2. At the end of the day, it is always a comforting thought that you'll always go back to the warm bed and bury yourself under the covers while waiting for sleep to come.
3. No matter how clicheic it may sound, you never really know what you're missing unless its gone.
4. When everyone else is talking, this doesn't give you the license to engage in the gabfest. More often than not, it is better to just keep your mouth shut.
5. Forgiveness means accepting the fact that there is no way the past could have been different.
6. He gave us faith so that we could overcome the insurmountable. And that being spiritual is better than being religious.
7. Love is essential but it is not a prerequisite alone to keep a relationship going. Love and commitment cannot be used interchangeably.

9. Friends do not only keep your sanity in check, they also allow you to be insane if the need be.
10. You need to be lost once in a while to be able to retrace your steps back home.
11. Chivalry is indeed not yet dead. Majority of my experiences in commuting validate this thought.
12. Making a living is not the same as making a life. And that you shouldn’t go through life with a catcher’s mitt on both hands. You need to be able to throw some things back.

15. Beauty is something that is relative.
16. Parting ways, no matter communal and consistent like the way you change clothes, is easier said than done.
17. Sometimes a steaming bowl of soup is just what I need to turn a not-so-perfect day turn somewhat right.
18. Shopping (or window shopping) is therapeutic. It has been said that it increase chemicals responsible for inducing feel-good emotions. And it is backed up by scientific findings.
19. The Spice Girls have been right all along: too much of something is bad enough.
20. Death creeps in like a thief in the night leaving you with a void that cannot be filled. We can never be too prepared for it. It forces us to come face to face with mortality.
21. Your family is your built in companion as you sail through life.You either get used to it or make up for the lost time when it is already too late.
22. People will not remember you on what you've made or accomplished but on the way you treated them.
23. You may not end up an exact replica of your mom eventhough you may not notice it at first but you'd be surprised one day that some of those things you least like about her to begin with would be the same things you'd end up doing. And in the end, you'd be more than grateful for having someone whom you look up to.
24. It is in silence that one could hear the innermost desires of the heart.
25. Isn't it great to be living in the present moment? Enough said.

{*In a NUTSCHELLE*}
Just turned 23. Not that young anymore and not too old either. One of the few reasons why she had a good excuse to mess up her life and still get away with it.
She is a self-confessed blog addict. The blog design reflects the total opposite of her personality. She is innocence personified - prim and proper, goody-two-shoes but could turn your life into a nightmare at the least provocation. Nothing is too complicated that her not-so-average mind could comprehend.
{*Profile*}
I took delight in trivial things. I could cry bucket of tears over light drama flicks while feel-good movies make me feel fuzzy all over. Despite the sheer crappiness of horror stories, I still hate those gory and morbid scenes that will leave anyone with that sick to the gut feeling. I love the sound of the waves crashing into the shore and the heavy downpours on lazy afternoons. Although i'm almost always caught with a bunch of people, I savor moments in solitude--staring into blank spaces, totally leaving the worldly troubles behind and just lingering in silence. I'm a self-confessed bargain hunter. New finds never fail to fascinate me--it make my melatonin levels shoot sky-high.
{*Career*}
Corporate girl who commutes from three to five hours on daily basis; started being a corporate slave a few weeks before graduation;
she's been working for two years; just a few months shy of getting that much-coveted MBA degree from an international academe.
She wants to carve a niche in her pursuit for world domination (as if she's bent on it!). Future career plans include being a
financial journalist or lifestyle writer; preschool teacher, etc.
{*Capricorn woman *}
The Capricorn woman has a strong ability to understand human nature the way no one else does.
She has the ability to analyze and understand any concept well and possess a good memory.
It is not easy to deceive her. She has a very business savvy nature.
Conservative by nature, prudent and economical - a Capricorn women can amass a lot of wealth in her life.
However it is also not uncommon for Capri woman to indulge in sporadic spending spree - leading to temporary financial hassles.
