Day 25: Write 5 messages to 5 different people without using names.

To the man who played the guitar called ‘Pinch’:

“I miss you.  I miss your hugs. I miss being wrapped in your warm embrace. I miss our laughters. I miss making you laugh and seeing those tears of joy. I miss the carefree person that I am when I am with you.  I miss your singing _out-of-tune. I miss our sharing of ideas. I miss your music and the song you composed for me. I miss your care. I miss the hand massage you provide to me.  I miss your simplistic and logical views on life. I look forward to waking up in the morning and seeing your face. I look forward walking down the aisle and seeing you waiting for me in front of the altar. I wish you will be here and we will explore the world together.  We will both make a difference in this world.  I love you. I care for you. I miss you.” #cheesy# =P

To the 86-year old guy who still believes he is 16 years old:

“I kneel in front of you and I listen to history.  With you, I understand more the past that creates my present reality.  I learn my roots – which make me understand of what I want for my future and who I want to become.  You relive history for me – I am still your one and only ‘Intsik’. Be healthy. Wait for me on December – we will celebrate your 87th birthday. Ooops, I mean still and forever your 16th birthday.” :-)

Day 24: Do you have saved text messages? If so, who are they from and why do you still have them?

Yes.

I never want to put names in this post - these text messages are mostly from boyfriend, my family and friends.  I have messages saved and dated more than 2 years ago. =)  I keep them because they are really "good" messages and I love re-reading them to remind me how wonderful life is and how blessed I am.

Keep that positive attitude coming!

Cheers,

Lyn-Lyn _(",)/

Day 23: Two months ago, where were you and what were you doing?

Two months ago, I was seconded to our branch office somewhere-out-there and travelled every Monday early morning (I have to wake up at 5am to catch my 7am flight) and flew back every Friday afternoon.  It was a hectic, stressful, sooo pressured more than 2-months (I was there since January) straight of working during this busy audit season.  But I survived! Yeheeey! _(",)/

Day 21: If you died tomorrow, what’s one thing you’d regret not doing?

Hmmm... This 21st day challenge is quite tricky.  But here’s my answer:

Day 20: What are the 10 most significant events in your life?

Browsing over the remainder of my 30-day blog challenge, I realized just how long has been my “entry backlogs”, and today, I’m making a pact to be more determined to complete it. ^_^ [haha!]

Anyway, here is my list for this 20th day challenge:

• 15th of October – my birthday! \(“,)/
• At age 10, it was my first time to be in Manila to compete for the NAMCYA and play at the Cultural Centre of the Philippines (CCP).
• During high school days when we practice for the track and field competition in Manila during summer months (March or April).  Being part of this sports in my early years has developed my inter-personal skills, self-discipline and confidence.

Day 19: What is your goal in life?

*embarassed*

It’s more than two months since I started this 30-day blog challenge, and I’m still not finished. (Weeeh!)

Going forward, this is my Day 19. ^_^

Day 18: Whom do you admire the most?

Aside from being a Papa’s girl, I am also my Manong’s forever girlfriend.
(“Manong” is an Ilonggo’s term for elder brother.)  ^_^

Why do I admire him the most? 

It’s because he is the epitome of an eldest child who would be selfless in order to be the “leader” for his younger siblings.

He is the son whom every parent would be proud of, and every kid would wish to be a brother whom they can grow up with. (I’m lucky I have him!)

Why do I look up to him so much?  Because aside from being a brother who would discipline me during those times my devilish ‘crown’ was growing (hehe), he also became my beast friend whom I share secrets with, who can tell me straight to my face the words that other people just try to sugar-coat to me.  He is my punching bag when I need to release my anger (haha) and the shoulder I lean on when I just want to be comforted. 

Day 16: What do people notice about you?

It’s always my….

…..

…

..

.

 

Day 15: What do you dislike most about yourself?

I’m back!  And I need to really really catch up with my 30-day blog entries.

I dislike my hasta mañana habit. :’(  I have tendencies to put some stuffs to “tomorrow”, when I know I can also do them today.  Example, just this afternoon, I could have finished one report, but laziness struck me and I told myself that I will just do it tomorrow. *twoinks* 

Catching Up on My Blog Entries – PLUS Pictures!

I just noticed on the date today, it’s already the 27th! And I looked on the day I started with my 30-day blog challenge, which was on the 5th.  So, shouldn’t it be that I’m already on the Day 22 of my 30-day blog challenge???

Naah…

hehe… I have totally forgotten about the day – wherein I am being occupied by work and other related topics that I free flowingly write on.  One of the things that I recently spend time on is photography.  Just this Saturday, I got a chance to have my first photography class – to know more about my camera features (apperture, shutter speed, lighting, the likes). 

Some of my shots are:

Day 14: What do you like most about yourself?

Aherm.

• I love my positive outlooks in life, which I also owe to the values that my parents instill in me since I was a child.
• I like my being bubbly persona [which sometimes, I wonder if I’m already overflowing with it.]
• I live by this simple principle: Live. Love. Laugh.

 Keep learning and keep moving forward!

Cheers,
Lyn-Lyn _(“,)/

Day 13 : Have you ever had your heart broken? Have you ever broken a heart?

Yes.

..and Yes. 

- - - - -

I never want to elaborate further because they are part of my past now.
Just learn from them.

 

 

Day 12: If you could wish for anything that would come true, what would you wish for?

Answer: World Peace.

..and it’s not just a Miss Universe answer. It really is what I am wishing for. ^_^

I am pro-peace – because it is priceless. 
No sleeping pills can tantamount to having a peaceful mind at night.
It calms the heart of people living in war zones – no bullets to fear of, that will strike their homes at night.
No cries at night. No fear for the future.  No families that will be deprived of a loved one.

With peace, there will be more laughters. More fun. More joys. More hope.

Day 11: Who can’t you live without?

It’s pretty obvious.  I can’t live without…who?!?! :p

It sums up with relationships, really.

• Relationship with family – my parents, brothers, and extended families
• Relationship with my friends (bf, barkadas, gurlfriends)
• Relationship with my church mates
• Relationship with my work colleagues (though I can live without it, hahaha!)
• Relationship with my community

Day 10: A dream for the future

The thing/event that will happen to me in a span of an hour from now would already be a future, isn’t it? [hahaha, pilosopa lng.]  So that means I am asleep and in dreamland already. Hahahaha!

Seriously (eherm), I believe that when we say “future” here, we refer to a longer timeframe, say 5 years, 10 years, 20 years or 50 years from now, right? Uhm…

Here is my list for the future:

• Get married, have 3-4 kids (I still dream of having twins, really). ^_^
• Enjoy a happy, blissful, ups-downs, loving, healthy, God-centered marriage and family life.

Day 9: Hopes, dreams and plans for the next 365 days

“Winners are planners.” – Bo Sanchez

Finally! My favorite day that I am looking forward to write something down to. 

My hopes, dreams and plans for the next 365 days:

• Learn and take action on photography.  I would love to take great pictures of landscapes and people!  Over the weekend, I’ll ask the best photographer in town when we can begin our photography class.
• Travel to nearby European countries
• Get a Schnegen Visa for the Europe travel this coming Easter (Please do pray that my visa will be approved.)  My appointment with the embassy is scheduled to be 2 weeks from now.
• Be more into communication with my loved ones and friends.

Day 8: What’s in my handbag/purse

I was having thoughts if I have to show or post this one.  But then, since this is a challenge I set for myself, take a pik-a-boo what’s inside my handbag:

Day 6: A song that makes you cry (or nearly)

There’s only one song…. only one song.

And, it is:

Day 5: Your dream house

Words and arts would sometimes not be enough to describe in detail how I want my dream house to be. (Oh well, the important thing for me is always no matter what or where the house I lived in, it will be called a home, a place where my family, my kids, grandchildren and great nth grandchildren will always look forward to go back to.).  :)

Day 4: Something you are OCD about

To be honest, this one is tough.

Let us defined first what OCD means. 

OCD, which is known as obsessive-compulsive disorder, is an anxiety disorder (oh no!) in which people have unwanted and repeated thoughts, feelings, ideas, obsessions, or behaviors that make them feel driven to do something (compulsions). Source: Wikipedia

Waaaaaaaaaah..!
