"life: a cycle. a series of events, meetings, and departures."
daniela gallo

do you agree that life is a cycle, or in other words, a series of events repeating themselves in a sequence? well, i could not really argue with that statement, but i keenly believe that some events are meant to happen just once. some things, like chances, only come one time. some feelings are meant to be one of a kind. although i am more familiar with the idea that the future is what we should always go after, i know that no matter how beautiful my future is going to be, it is still dark at the moment, and i am still living in the present as of now. i trust that there are things that won't occur ever again, people that won't show up again, and opportunities that won't approach me again, which is why when the present feels so sweet, i secretly wish for time to freeze, so that i'd be able to preserve that moment, that feeling, and that kind of person that i am. or was.

p.s: i know my long absence is inexcusable, but i just got my tripod and shutter remote back with me... still, i would like to apologize for being a repeat offender.

you're on your own

"i may be alone, but i am not lonely."
unknown

in my opinion, the beauty of being on your own boils down to the moment in which you discover that you actually don't need anybody else to make you feel whole, and that it is possible to cheer or satisfy your own soul without the presence of any company. one can remain on her own and still have the world on her hands, while one can have all the people that she loves around her and still feels empty. in the end, i realize that while being happy is necessary, being happy with someone else is truly optional.

by the way, the giveaway is officially over, and the winner goes to...

shun ming from jakarta as jasmine.
he is the only male competitor, but his video stands out from the rest. thumbs up for such a hilarious showmanship. what's up with that bird anyway?

p.s: i've added a new section on the left. it is dedicated for all my favorite online shops, since i often purchase stuffs (except bag) online. go to their sites and get ready to discover some amazing hot deals on high heels, headbands, and other accessories... and do keep me in your prayers, loves. i'm three days away from my finals week and my projects are literally killing me.
