Bee. Again.

Long after she'd left Eric, she lay in her sleeping bag. She shivered. Her eyes were full. They dripped. From sadness, or strangeness, or love. They were the kind of tears that came when she was just too full. She needed to make a little room. She stared at the sky. It was bigger tonight. Tonight her thoughts roamed out into it, and like Diana had said, they didn't find anything to bounce off. They just went and went until nothing felt real. Not even the thoughts. Not even thinking itself...

Bridget pulled her thoughts back in, coiling them like a kite string.

Carefully she rolled her sleeping bag under her arm and crept back into the cabin. She lay down, her back flat on the bed. Tonight she would let her thoughts stray no farther than the weathered planks.

Sometimes I feel like I'm Bee -- too full of emotion that I just have to cry to make room -- to focus on work, to love, to move on... A girl who often loses herself in her thoughts. Someone with high highs and low lows, emotionally unstable, loves passionately, falls deeply, an emotional rollercoaster. That's Bee. That's me.

Free Hugs!

Another one of those I-get-inspired-by-Quel's-posts moments.

Hug - embrace: squeeze someone tightly in your arms, usually with fondness.

Project 646

Hi Guys! : )

Please help our parish build its pastoral center and convent. : )

Project 646 was launched in November 2008, having the main objective of raising 6 million pesos in 4 months through 6 ways of giving. We are also targeting 646 donors.

Can you be one of them? : ) Any amount will go a long way and will be very much appreciated by our parish.

When our parish was reconstructed in 2004, the back portion (which includes the pastoral center and convent) was left unfinished. We are now driving this project into completion in order to start construction this summer.

If you're interested to help out or if you need more information, just leave me a message. : ) I'll be glad to share more about Project 646 with you.

Thanks and God bless! : )

The Year to be Inspired!

I was updating my 2009 Starbucks planner last Sunday and realized that I didn't have to wait for the end of the year to share it with you. :)

When the year started, the one thing that I really wanted was to be inspired. I wanted to be inspired everyday -- doing my tasks, studying, looking for more adventures, posting blogs, reading lots of books, exercising, praying, singing just for the fun of it... I wanted the inspiration that someone new to this life will feel. The drive to make the most out of everyday -- to experience the best life has to offer.

And so I start to blabber cliches. :P

But what I just want to say is that this year, I want to wake up everyday with the wide-eyed wonder of a child. I want to prove that there is something more than the everyday grind. That life is beautiful and more meaningful than it seems to be. That each day is new and totally different. I want to touch lives, spend quality time, and give attention to things that really matter.

This year, I really want to be inspired. And I know that this year will be overflowing with everything that I've been hoping for. :)
