30 and couldn't ask for more...

Have you ever reached a point when you couldn't ask for more?

I have.

Before I turn 30 last August, I made a promise to make it the best year ever. I was still grieving for the loss of my grandfather but I knew that I would break his heart if I do not keep my composure back. My lolo had always been so proud of me and the things that I do, so I decided that instead of being down and low I should do things to make him prouder from heaven. I don't want to disappoint him.

August 2011, Upstairs Bar, Kimberly Hotel

I turn 30 and had a posh party with my New Yorker friends in a rooftop bar overlooking midtown Manhattan, and from then I felt how blessed I am to have all these best things in life. I have a good family back home, a set of real friends, a promising career, a chance to live in this awesome city and travel around, a healthy body; I'm young and I realized that I must live my life to the fullest possible way I can -- no what ifs, no what could have been.

I'm 30 and I couldn't ask for more...so here's to life, to happiness and to more blessings!

Thank you Lord for all the blessings, cheers!

Another adventure soon!

I'm planning on something BIG!
I'm planning on something I've been dreaming of at night.
I'm planning on something I've thought was impossible.
I'm planning for another adventure! ^_^
Watch out and be excited for me! ^_^

Can't Fight This Feeling

I can't fight this feeling any longer. 

And yet I'm still afraid to let it flow. 

What started out as friendship, 

Has grown stronger. 

I only wish I had the strength to let it show. 

I tell myself that I can't hold out forever. 

I said there is no reason for my fear. 

Cause I feel so secure when we're together. 

You give my life direction, 

You make everything so clear. 

And even as I wander, 

I'm keeping you in sight. 

You're a candle in the window, 

On a cold, dark winter's night. 

And I'm getting closer than I ever thought I might. 

And I can't fight this feeling anymore. 

I've forgotten what I started fighting for. 

It's time to bring this ship into the shore, 

And throw away the oars, forever. 

Cause I can't fight this feeling anymore. 

I've forgotten what I started fighting for. 

And if I have to crawl upon the floor, 

Come crushing through your door, 

Baby, I can't fight this feeling anymore. 

My life has been such a whirlwind since I saw you. 

I've been running round in circles in my mind. 

And it always seems that I'm following you, girl, 

Cause you take me to the places, 

That alone I'd never find. 

And even as I wander, 

I'm keeping you in sight. 

You're a candle in the wind, 

On a cold, dark winter's night. 

And I'm getting closer than I ever thought I might. 

And I can't fight this feeling anymore. 

I've forgotten what I started fighting for. 

It's time to bring this ship into the shore, 

And throw away the oars, forever. 

Cause I can't fight this feeling anymore. 

I've forgotten what I started fighting for. 

And if I have to crawl upon the floor, 

Come crushing through your door, 

Baby, I can't fight this feeling anymore.

This song says what I'm feeling right now. For a long time now, I have been fighting against this feeling to keep my pride but I don't think I can win over it. I suck at this. :( I have always been never afraid of almost anything, but not with this. But how can I lose someone whom wasn't mine in the first place? :(

The Philippine Madrigal Singers in NYC!

 It has been a great privilege to watch the Philippine Madrigal Singers perform in their last leg of concert tours in the Americas and in Kaufman Center in the Lincoln Center, NYC at that!

And I can't be any prouder that this world-class singing ambassadors originated from my beloved University of the Philippines, Diliman! Mabuhay ka Madz! :)
