would like to move to tumblr

I could definitely go for some chocolate pudding right now. Imagining the creamy, smooth texture of the pudding packaged in little snack-packs to go, the way it makes a crisp clean peeling noise when it is being opened .. is making my salivary glands water.

Somebody throw one into my third floor window! Please and thank you!

National geographic, very good series

current obsession,

"i have neglected to write a post because i ran out of quirky things to say. i was busy running on high emotions and it was so intense and i couldn't get a second to breathe and it was like i was on a merry-go-round spinning at 99MPH, heart palpitations but only because it was ready to burst i could feel it but

right now, i'm scared to admit that my heart is aching, because of what was making it run on high emotions and it was so intense and i couldn't get a second to breathe and it was like i was on a merry-go-round spinning at 99MPH, heart palpitations but only because it was ready to burst

kind of love

i'm scared to admit, my heart is aching"



{The colored lights, they brightly shine.
Unlike your eyes avoiding mine.
The snow is folding sheet upon sheet.
Our hands not holding as we cross the street.

How can I catch up when I don't don't want to?
How can I catch up when I still want you?}

Am finally truly happy, thank you ..

have not been feeling like myself lately,

I'm so happy..

I had much to stay but now nothing at all except:

GRACE JOY L. PATAUNIA, RN
MARIA REGINA ELENA L. PATAUNIA, RN
JOMER L. DEL VILLAR, RN

Welcoming the first Registered Nurses to the LUNA family.
Thank you everyone for your prayers, I finally made it!

Officially yours,
Nurse Grace.

Words that cannot be said in real time, but hidden and carefully thought out when the sun sets and the moon rises . . .

Wow

Hey, it's me Jesus

Why I wish I didn't have a cellphone:

Text message FWD's that go like this

"Hey, it's me Jesus
If you deny me on earth
I will deny you in heaven
Send this to 15 people
And receive the biggest blessing"

First off, one word. CREEPY
Second, Jesus has a cellphone?
Third, if not, he has a friend who has a cellphone that passed the message for him?

(Okay so I'm being smart)

Please do not flood my inbox with these messages.

1. I don't read them unless they are ridiculous like this one
2. No, I will not pass it
3. If I pass it everyone will pass it and everyone passing it will be passing it to each other until everyone will have it

I love God and I go to church every single Sunday, I don't dont think these forwards (passed or not) prove much of anything.

Try spreading love through a smile, giving time to listen to each others thoughts, by all means- go go go!

Okay? Okay bye!

Edit: I must have cursed myself. Just as I wrote this and posted it, I got that EXACT MESSAGE again sent to my phone. Bahala na!

Love.

Lola (Grandma) and the Lottery.

She had this old lottery ticket she found amongst her things. Saw that a printed ticket had the exact same numbers as the numbers she had penciled in to pick.


Lola: Look! The numbers are the exact same!

T: But this lottery tickets a month old!

Lola: Exactly why it was such a waste! *Exasperated sigh


Turns out she thought she had WON THE LOTTERY, when really, the numbers she was looking at were the PRINTED COPY of the numbers she picked out.


Ay nako.
Gotta love your grandma.

Love.

Loud, Lost, and Filipino.

Bus scenario, D.C bound

Random Filipino FOB Lady: where's d driberr, where's d dribberr


*looks for a seat

Random Filipino FOB Lady: can i seat here?

Random bus person: umm.. sure

Random Filipino FOB Lady: my teeket! my teeket i can't pind my teeket!

Random bus person: ..maybe try your pocket?

Random Filipino FOB Lady: ahya! *reaches into her pocket and finds the ticket

Random bus person: *large shocked eyes mixed with a hint of annoyed and slight eye roll


*5 minutes later

Random Filipino ROB Lady: is der a sit belt here?

(On a large moving bus, i highly doubt individual seat belts are part of the complimentary package)





All the loud lost filipino lady's still get love.
I Packin lab dat!

Craving for some authentic Thai food.

That time of the month is coming again.

No wonder I keep eating. And eating. And hating. Then loving. And sleeping.
AND EATING.

Oh my Gawd, It's me below.



Love.

The worst thing that can happen on vacation.

So I'm back from my trip to Bicol to visit some family before the big move.

We went to swim at the ocean, which we had to ourselves (which is why the Philippines is amazing, we are completely surrounded by water and only need to drive 30 minutes in any direction to hit the beach- we don't have to PAY for a private resort!).

Imagine putting on your swim suit, lathering up on sun tan lotion, putting on them stunna shades (holla!) and swimming until your hearts content, showering, coming out in your towel, rummaging through your bag, and realizing

you forgot to pack underwear.



Story of my life.

Love.

The truth of the matter is . .

Everyone wants to be "in" the network.

Whether that means having access to someones page
Being on the same cell phone company
Part of the inner circle, not just the outsider twiddling thumbs
Friends connected to friends

Let it mean what you want, but think about it
Because it is true

It's part of our developmental process
In the end, we all just want to belong.

Love.

Seriously?

Someone from an unknown number kept calling me and I let it ring (because I don't like talking to strangers).

I figured if it was as important as they thought it was, they'd leave me a message, maybe even explaining who they were.

After the fourth call I decided to pick up.

Call went down, like this:

Grace: Hello?

Stranger: Hello?

Grace: Yes..

Stanger: Who is this?

Grace: Who is THIS?

Stranger: Who is this?

Grace: Aren't you the one who called me? May I ask who this is?

Stranger: Is this (some ridiculously long name)

Grace: No, it is not..

Stranger: Oh i see, okay. *hangs up


Look, if you are going to call someone and not know who it is you are looking for in the first place, then? Why are you calling?!?

You call me from a freaky unknown number and you wanna ask me who I AM?

It's more like,

who am I? witch who the f*#k are YOU?

It's ree-donku-lous!

(Sorry for profanity in this post)

Love.

Only in the Philippines

Will you find "chiz(cheese) curls"



And rice served in teeny weeny portions the size of half your fist
with complimentary food on the side with the exact. same. proportions.





Greenwich is supposed to be the more healthy food option here, yet with sizings this small it makes a person feel really fat. Instead of ordering one thing, you need to order two to feel satisfied.

Nice one Greenwich, NAICE WAN.

Love.
