INKED in WHITE

After I got my FIRST 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.

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 :) 

 Let the INKING Process Begin :)

INKED in White and Loving it :)

live the life you love <3

Charisma's BUCKET List

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.

UNDISCLOSED DESIRES

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



**ADDICTED TO MUSE

Dearly Departed

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 :)

Yes, I cannot get you out of my head..

SWEET DISPOSITION, undeniably, you are my long weekend LSS. Might re-watched 500 Days of Summer later because of you.

Sweet DispositionNever to soonOhh wreck less abandonLike no onesWatching you
A moment, a love, a dream, aloudA kiss, a cry, our rights, our wrongs
So stay thereCause i'll be coming overAnd while our bloods still youngIt's so young it runsWe wont stop till it's overWon't stop to surrender
Songs of desperationI played them for you
A moment, a love, a dream ,aloudA kiss, a cry, our rights, ours wrongs
A moment ohh...
So stay thereCause i'll be coming overAnd while our bloods still youngIt's so young it runsWe won't stop till its overWon't stop to surrender
A moment, a love, a dream, aloudA kiss, a cry, our rights, ours wrongs
