the spontaneity in friendship

the disparity in our personalities is so apparent, from the choice of what we wear to the kind of lifestyle we live, they are far too different. while she's having her hands swiping on the latest apple gadget, you'd still find me pressing the keypad for my nokia phone. errr, i have the attitude of non-conformity, so that explains. (read: justify kuripot!) hahaha 

the one word that would probably describe what we have is  spontaneity. i know it may not be as evident with the picture i have attached here as most of them have dining tables in front of us, believe me when i say it is not all eating that we do! hahah you see us sitting comfortably on the couch,  the next moment you'll find us at a grocery store pushing carts, or giving our feet a pamper at pedicure, or accompanying yeli to go swimming. good times with each other can go as random as our conversations can be. we can face each other and talk nonstop whole day, or not talk at all. yes, this is how seamless we can get. i guess that is the beauty of having an awesome friend, you allow the dead air, the bore, or the lousiness of your own actions without even a hint of uneasiness running in your system. 

maricel and i have developed a wonderful relationship over the years. what has started being regular companions before afternoon classes when we were graders has blossomed into a friendship so profound. from the most shallow moments, to occasions called-for, 'mare' is just a beep away :)




P.S. i mounted this collage without her permission taken off her twitter page. :)

more fun in the philippines

since the launch of the ph tourism slogan, it has created a buzz in the online community. each has its own version of how things have become more fun in the philippines. photos, memes, what have you.

mon jimenez is right, tourism is everyone's job. we embody in us what our country is. it is therefore imperative that we take pride of our very own where ever our feet may take us. in so many ways and platforms, let us all do our part in promoting our country, we only have one, i don't think it would hurt if we do our share.

here are a few of my favorites. taken from different scenic views and festivals, my way of bringing my beloved philippines to the world.
