entitled to a good one

"the good life, as i conceive it, is a happy life. i do not mean that if you are good you will be happy; i mean that if you are happy you will be good."

bertrand russell

one day, i want to be able to welcome people to my good life like kanye west,
or find a life that i'm truly passionate about, like what emma pillsbury said in glee.
truth is, even though i'm moderately happy with my life and all that,
i don't think i've lived a good one quite yet. i experience good moments in life every now and then,
but moments are just moments, no matter how good they are.
maybe i should stop trying to achieve those good moments,
and aim for a good life instead.
i don't have a picture in my mind of what my good life's gonna feel like,
but i'm sure it won't feel like philly, or miami or even d.c.
that's kanye's version of a good life, not mine.
i mean, what good is it to live a life that's not fully yours?

a wondrous place

"so long as we are living under the same sky, silently, strongly, for that day, i wait."
sakura haruno

my version of 'that day' would be the day i get to return to san jose.
i found myself tempted to relive those days i spent there a month ago,
and to cure my disappointment for not being able to go there again under any normal circumstances (unless somebody hypnotized my mom),
i would like to share some pictures of the things i remember most from that trip:



.steps of rome.

.my first time playing rock band.

.a hearty barbecue.

.spongebob birthday cake.

.the awesome personalities without which my trip would be fairly mediocre.

a self-reminder:
complain less, compliment more.
talk less, care more.
ask less, provide more.
argue less, discuss more.
criticize less, communicate more.
receive less, give more.
demand less, do more.
cry less, smile more.
mourn less, laugh more.
doubt less, trust more.
lust less, love more.

after all these years of being alive,
i think i've finally figured out the simple way to synchronize love and life;
that to live is to love and to love is to give.
and yet the bottom line is i still don't know what love is.

anyway, i've been complaining a lot about how my badly infected eye ruins my day on twitter, but that's not a reason not to spread some love today,
which brings us to the giveaway winner announcement *drumrolls, please*

congratulations, natalia chrissandy a.k.a u-ung.
*yayness*
for the other contestants, don't worry,
it'll be your chance to shine next time.

thanks for participating in this giveaway,
happy valentine's day + chinese new year, dearies :)
