Going through Facebook and other social networking sites made me realize that most of my batch mates are either with kids, married or engaged. As for me, I got a NewTattoo last week, Digitally Permed my Hair yesterday and is getting a Baby Girl Shihtzu before the month ends. While am perfectly happy for my dear friends - and I still believe in the Blissful Promise of Ever Afters, I can now truthfully say (without grudge and bitterness) that I am happy to be single at that moment- don't worry, in HIS time, am sure Perfect Love will come around<3. But for now, I'll continue to live the life I love and make the most of this single and fab life that I have been blessed with.
PS: Am excited for the EU Trip I am having with my bestfriend next year.
All moolah funds & paid vacation leaves are for Europe -- Salute! :)

Dipsomania??☺
Dipsomania is a historical term describing a medical condition involving an uncontrollable craving for alcohol. It was used in the 19th century to describe a variety of alcohol-related problems, most of which are most commonly conceptualized today as alcoholism, but it is occasionally still used to describe a particular condition of periodic, compulsive bouts of alcohol intake. The idea of dipsomania is important for its historical role in promoting a disease theory of chronic drunkenness. The word comes from Greek δίψα thirst and μανία mania.

Have you ever been asked the Question:What do you miss most about being "In a Relationship" / Hate about being Single?
I've been asked that a couple of times and my Answer has always been a consistent one:At the end of the day, no matter how extremely blissful, happy or tremendously bad my day was - I miss being able to share it with someone. Someone who'll not just listen, but understand - who'll not just sympathize, but feel.
After all that has been said and done in this 20 something years, am honestly not in a hurry for anything. Yes, I miss it and honestly, i still desire it. But am trusting that in the Right Time, HIS Perfect One will come along.
For the mean time, am going to infect you with this lovey-nostalgic bug that the bit me tonight. Below are some verses I've doodle during my "inlove" times.
** HUSH 0305
If I can hold you in my arms To touch your face and hold you tight I'll kiss your fears and hold your hand Keeping the faith to be beside - Overcome and just love.
Hush, just listen... Hush, hold my hand... Hush, feel my touch... Hush, close your eyes...
We don't need to stress it We don''t even have to talk about it The heart feels more than what you hear And time I know will prove it clear
Lovers lost with faith regained. I'd give everything just to hear you say... That you'll do anything for this love to stay.
Hush, lets do this Hush, I'll hold you still Yes, you can come over Tonight, we'll kiss the night away.
"We must be cautious though, for we could be serving with the wrong motives. We must check our hearts. If we are doing things for selfish ambition, we will inevitably get burned out. We should serve without self-interest. We must serve like Jesus..."
Am a self-confessed WANDER GIRL; always looking forward to long-weekends, dive trips, vacation plans, impulsive roadtrips and out of the country tipid trips.
On this mid-week Wednesday, as I go through my travel photo albums and stare at my outlook calendar; eagerly anticipating my next trip out of the Metro -- I cannot help but blab about the AMAZING BANGKOK Trip I did last year with my two best girls; Dani and Nix :)
Its WORLD CUP SEASON during our BKK trip. So the best way to spend our first night is with nothing else but.. BOOZE, FOOTBALL & Lotsa PHOTOS.
Lets ride the TUKTUK and go around the CITYYYY :)
Now some Cultural Side Trips:
Wat Pho - Temple of the reclining Buddha.Adjacent to the Grand Palace enclave, Wat Pho houses the famous 46 meter-long Reclining Buddha Luang Phor TO Buddha. Wat Intharaviharn (or more popularly known as "Wat IN" or sometimes some web resources pronounced it as Wat Intharawihan) is located at Bangkhunphrom sub-district, Nakhon District, Bangkok
Afternoon Tea Set or High Tea: Best way to spend the Bangkok Afternoon with your girls.
Danissa Charisma and Anika at the ERAWAN TEA ROOM. You can find this cozzy, classy, chillax place at second floor of the Grand Hyatt Erawan Bangkok.
For Reservations you can visit/contact Erawan Bangkok at
494 Ploenchit Road, Pathumwan, Bangkok 10330Tel: 02 250-7777 Fax: 02 250-7788
Around the CityTouriiing. Shopping with Street Foodies on the side. And our TOGETHER WE CAN Shirts.
Last Night Dinner & Drinks (again, over World Cup) at Arnoma Hotel
The signature tourist photo, taken at the party drinking capital of Bangkok; Khao San Road :)
Bangkok is Love. Can't wait for our next Dani Factor Travel Episode.
After I got myFIRST TATT last April, I have always wanted to get another one (and probably one more after that.) But like my first Body Art, it has to be something I believe in, if not something i truthfully live by.
You will never fully understand the gift of life until it was almost snatched from your grasp. And though its complexities and the circles that goes twirling around it may bring negatives and positives interchanged - no one can ever deny the fact that life is worth living because of love.
Love, in its full unadulterated, self-less form. Love, in all of its hues & rhythm. Love ,in its musical notes & shades of black or white.
This year brings the realization, that we must start living each days as if its our last; not as an excuse of recklessness but as a reminder that we are bounded by the clock's tick-tick.
This year inks a reminder; that we have the choice to live our life based on what we are passionate about, around the once we truly care for, grounded on the covenant that there's a kind of love which surpasses the boundaries of time.

Last Week, Jackie and I head over P&P Tattoo Makati do got our selves inkeD. Here you'll see snapshots of our whole Tattoo-ing experience.
P&P Tattoo and Body Art Studio, 45 Polaris St. Bel-Air Soho Condominium, Makati City
Au sketching our Designs and the Boys Mixing Muzikk while we get our Tatts done
I AGREE that Cheap Tattoos are not good and Good Tattoos are not Cheap!! :) HERE ARE THE STEPS: First - Pay for the Tattoo, Second - Sign the Waiver, THIRD - Finalize the Design with your Artist.
Make sure you have new clean needle. Check your chosen INK. Watch as they prep up everything :)
Thank you, P&P -- You guys are AWESOME! Great Tattoo artist, fun and happy crowd while getting inkeD. I'll see you on your new Boracay Branch next month.

Heard that there's going to be a Boracay Round 2 before 2011 ends. Is this true Team Boracay? Now, Heartbeat of Enrique Iglesias is playing on my mindPOD.
Admit it or not, all of us have this written/unwritten list of things that we want to do and places we want to explore before our lifetime ends. Well, based from experience (more from the work side of life) things wont get accomplished easily until its laid out, planned or at the very least written down.
In short, what gets measured - gets done. So here is the list of things, places, people, activities, accomplishments ++ adventures and craziness that I wish to mark as done before my lifeline hits game over.
In no particular order, and will be updated whenever I have insomnia attacks and lalala/blah lull moments.
I know you've suffered, But I don't want you to hide
It's cold and loveless, I won't let you be denied
Soothing
I'll make you feel pure
Trust me
You can be sure
I want to reconcile the violence in your heart
I want to recognise your beauty's not just a mask
I want to exorcise the demons from your past
I want to satisfy the undisclosed desires in your heart
You trick your lovers, That you're wicked and divine
You may be a sinner, But your innocence is mine
Please me
Show me how it's done
Tease me
You are the one
I want to reconcile the violence in your heart
I want to recognise your beauty's not just a mask
I want to exorcise the demons from your past
I want to satisfy the undisclosed desires in your heart
Please me, Show me how it's done
Trust me, You are the one
I want to reconcile the violence in your heart
I want to recognise your beauty's not just a mask
I want to exorcise the demons from your past
I want to satisfy the undisclosed desires in your heart
Amidst the hustle and bustle of the long weekend, after all the escapades, roadtrips or sweet escapes trips out of Manila -- it isn't just right to end the holiday without paying respect to our dearly departed.
We visited Daddy, my dearest Lolo from Mum's side this afternoon at Himlayan Pilipino Memorial Park, Tandang Sora. Good thing that the caretakers did their job well and Daddy's graveyard looked clean with trimmed grass and plants on the side.
Advance Happy Birthday Daddy, it has been 23 years since you left us, but your memories to Mum and Mommy and the kwentos about you will remain in me forever. Thanks for making sure that we are taking cared of :)
Daddy Jun, Charisma, Ike, Anne, Mommy Fely and Aunty Rosie. Himlayang Pilipino, November 2011
PS. Am turning 25 on the first. I'll take extra shots for you on our upcoming birthday, that I promise :)
