“Everything Done With Purpose, Pure Intent, Through Love And In Balance, Reaps Great Reward.✨ @dulceruby”

八月ー 九月 (August to September):

☁ Mesmerized by Childe Hassam’s works. ✨ ☁ School is getting on my nerves huhuhu 😭 I’ve been trying to sleep as early as I can. ☁ Attended a Google talk arranged by local tech enthusiasts and got myself a cool Google shirt! 👌 ☁ My mother went to Dumaguete and jokingly said her to buy MLP pillows. Days later, I had Pinkie Pie beside my blanket. 🌈 ☁ This year was probably the best acquaintance party we had in school. Maybe because they invited an actual band instead of Spotify music. 😂 ☁ Our band also got the chance to play at the partay. 🎉 Hope we would play more this year. ☁ Post card by Littlemisspaintbrush from Kawaii PH ❤

This cutie just arrived earlier this afternoon 😍💖 Can’t wait to wear you for upcoming events! ✨

(got this cutie at @dollymoon.ph on instagram✨)

It’s still hasn’t sink in that the one I’ve been reading over the past six years has finally reached to its conclusion. 😭 Fairy Tail made me realize something back then and I’m forever grateful for this work. ❤

— Gray’s Feelings💙.

low tide

I’m kinda missing the part where around this time of year, when the air gets colder and the sun doesn’t shine DIRECTLY to your face, you go head on with passion projects and multiply your productivity by a thousand. But this year, reality just hits right into you like having no escape at all. All those “priorities” seem to lurk behind you and you feel all guilty when you’re not doing anything with them. It’s a weird feeling, and when you try to escape or just slip away from them, they all come back and the cycle goes on and on. 😥

But I try to comfort myself with little things like listening to new music (at 2am lol) or add new pages to my notebooks and still deal with all the different things that’s happening around.

I don’t want to be half-assed with my actions and I want them to be from my guts and insidesss and still be awesome to things I either hate or like. 😂🙆

This too shall pass.

Hopes & dreams,

I FINALLY MADE IT TO A ONE OK ROCK CONCERT 😭✨

 Who knew I’d go and finally witness their music years after I found them on youtube playing most of their live concerts rather than their studio recordings.

2017 was made up of panic attacks, breakdowns, severe acne, real decisions, tears, a broken heart, self-care attempts (that really helped huhu) and failures. It sucks to start the year with crushed hopes and dreams that ended me but I also wanted to feel hope again, because I know that I have the will to also do the things I love. So I started again 🌞

Because I knew I was going to be stuck for a while, I promised to myself to do the things I love just as much as I'll work hard in the current decision I've taken. And along that path, I found out that I could possibly go to an Ambitions Asia Tour. I was also shookt myself lol

I extremely saved money since they announced their event, raged my dreamz of listening them live to my journal, dog, family, and friends (and believed that she can't just like others who wanted to see concerts hmp), constantly and desperately checking promo flights from every airline, asked help to extended relatives in the city if they wanted to have me infiltrate their home for a while, etc. Everything was never under my hands and this show was a game stopper for the past months of 2017. Four remaining months of saving, singing their songs (new and old alike), praying, and more praying that everything would fall into place, 2017 ended just like that. To me, the year felt quick and I was happy for its pace.

bonus: sight seeing at Taal Lake, Tagaytay in 21°c weather, yellow suitcase for Ambitions MNL 💛

(As if I'm in Osaka in their early days huhu), the atmosphere first felt like I was one of the audience of the Yokohama concert way back 2014 (oh youtube)

Mighty Long Fall

My friend who came with me said I should've scream like others in a concert and not just sing with the whole arena. Nah man, I prefer to sit down and listen to them doing what they love, sing with the people, jump or raise our freakin hands up rather than adding noise whenever. (I did scream and gave them a big applause when they talked and all did solos huhu esp taka during clock strikes and toru and his guitar solos 💓)

MY FIRST BAND SHIRT 😭

Not only I was looking forward to see the four playing, I was also very very happy of witnessing the whole crew of ONE OK ROCK, the lighting technicians (kudos 🙌), videocam crew for an amazing job (I felt like I was watching their youtube videos but live & irl 😂), security, organizers, and esp their official photographer @julenphoto , the same guy who shoots for their instagram photos huhu 💓

ONE OK ROCK welcomed my new year with hope and that I still could do something with these little hands of mine, slowly but surely. So as long as you keep your own pace and that you don't mind everyone else's journey, you have your own and in your own speed, you can have what it takes to be who you are and finish what you've started with courage, good attitude, and ofc love. 💖

Anything they say will never break our hearts of gold.

Hopes and dreams forevermore,

The Heat So Far

It’s summer here again! \m/ I’ve been of course hiding from all the heat (again) around the house and staying inside mama’s room where cold walls and cold tiles can certainly repel the heat. Oooh but don’t get me wrong, I still go outside sometimes hehe. Last last last week, it was the holy week so my family and I went for a Visita Iglesia slash roadtrip together with papa’s closest friends.

Photo of me and Ate Vina playing around hehe

We woke up around quarter to 4 in the morning and reached the farthest church at Ubay which is a town located literally across the island.

We ate lunch there and rested our tired selves for a while and took the road once again to another town Loboc, which was our destination for mountain climbing the next day. Mountain climbing = Krus Dako.

Krus Dako / “Big Cross” serves as the last station when climbing the mountain of Loboc.

After the climb, since the house we stayed was very near to the river, I decided to take a nice swim haha

Last Last Week: Swimmin’ pooolsss 

sis swimmin’

bro chillin’ haha

Last Week: Beachin’ | Back to the River!!

Went to the beach with cousins :)

River cruises were passing by as we were swimming and playing. Tourists were taking pictures of us haha.  (I’ve lost my photos when we were at the river huhu better find it as soon as possible)

But I think I'm getting a bit productive inside too (??). Since last week I’ve been practicing a new piece for piano because I’m trying to put music as my “thing” in the summer. Summer Break = play the piano, justinne  o(╥﹏╥)o (also started jogging again haha)

            So as of late, I am now packing my stuff for a new trip wohooo  (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧ more fun awaits, i think. hehe

An indian almond tree (or talisay as we’d like to call it) near our classroom just had its annual shedding from red to the color of the year and it’s so refreshing to see this after the last weeks of school. ✨

Can’t wait for vacation.
