Numbed...

Numbed.

Can't feel anything that touches my fingertips...
This cold feeling that brushes through my skin.
Felt like my whole system is shutting down.

My  mind's aching from thinking too much...
Such a heavy feeling.
Thoughts has been running around and around....
Until I feel so numbed and don't know what to think
but to gaze myself in space.... just... blank.

Does it get any easier?
Inhale... exhale...
Closing my eyes...
Praying... and heard a voice...
"Things will get better, I promise you... patience..."

Looks up at the dark sky
Feeling the warm breeze against my face,
as if He was touching my face....
letting me know that He is always there...
Watching me...

I'm not alone....
And soon.. I shall not be numbed again.


I will live my life.

This is the end of my story... Let the new chapter begin!

Hello there.

Yup I'm still up this late.  And I've been thinking a lot today despite the fact that I was sick earlier but now I'm absolutely well :)

Anyway, I know I screwed up with so many things in my life and I ended up getting hurt.  I never wanted that or even signed up for that kind of life.  So I made a checklist to myself:

- Love yourself -
You gotta love yourself before you love others.  If you don't, you'll forget yourself.

- Stop being too nice-
When I do, people would take advantage of me or they would use me. Nope, gotta be smart!

- Guard your heart -
Ok this is a tough cookie hahaha! Don't surrender too easily.

- Choose the right thing -
I always... ALWAYS ended up choosing the wrong thing and decision in my life and end up hurting myself.  But now, I gotta learn to choose the right thing and it's for the best.. even though it's gonna be painful but I believe that things will get better in the end.  It's tough, but I can do it.  I know that God will watch my back and guide me through ;)

- Enjoy life to the fullest -
Uh huh... that's right! *snap snap SNAP!!!!*

- Be strong and move on -
I know I can do this... it'll take time. Step by step.  Never back down again.

- Embrace the changes in your life -
Good or bad, gotta accept it and you will be a better person :)

- Love -
Seriously, I need to date again!  Let love find you... patience.. dearest Miyako... PATIENCE.. *claps her fists*... *uneasiness*..... *tapping her feet*... DOH!!!!! (>.<'')

I did encounter so many great things in my life this 2011 :) And I am blessed that they became part of my life.  Always be thankful. Remember, I love you all.

This is the end of my story... Let the new chapter begin!

Good night, everyone.... :)

Day 8 in Kaohsiung - Last day for Prince and Bella Boo.

October 01, 2011

Today's the last day of stay in Taiwan for Prince and Bella boo. As usual, I woke up late in the afternoon and wanted to cook dumplings for lunch but my bro came up to me and had me taste the chicken burger he bought for breakfast.  He said it's better than McDo Mac Chicken. And he was right! :) After I gobbled the whole burger, I wanted something sweet so I decided to have a mango ice cream that my mom bought few days ago at the supermarket.

With mango meat chunks ;)

So we all went out to Grand Hai Lai Hotel and check out the JASON grocery but unfortunately... it was closed for renovation.. (-.-'').... Instead, we went to central Kaohsiung and decided to have a Chinese dinner but we looked almost every where. None. We ended up eating at WATAMI Japanese restaurant.  It's all good food and we're all happily full ;)

Maia wanted those sweets :)

And so does Bella (^^)

Taiwan's Mister Donut has the BEST tasting donuts than the ones in the Philippines.

September 30, 2011

It's another lazy afternoon and we stayed home the whole day.  Cooked gyoza for my late lunch and had sweet dumpling soup (sesame flavor) for dessert.

 Tonight, we decided to go for grocery at Dollars and have our dinner as well at their food choices.

Past 12:00 AM

My bro and I went to the Liouhe night market and I did my shopping (^^)v yayyyyy!!!

My bro ordered the milky ice shavings with mango toppings.

And my bro ordered oyster omelet that people would fall in line for it because of the huge servings at dirt cheap price.

I had the Turkish ice cream in milk flavor.  The Turkish guy spoke in Chinese with me and I'm like OHHHHHH~ :)

The fresh seafood.

One huge oyster omelet ready for take out :)

What a great night! (^^)

Day 6 in Kaohsiung - Surprise for Maia.

September 29, 2011

The past few days, my dad would bring out Maia for a walk and they would always pass by the shop that has parrots outside to attract customers and passers-by.  Maia got excited and she would talk to the parrot in Chinese like "NI HAO!" But she wouldn't dare to go near to the parrot since she's scared and she would ask Lolo Ell to carry her. When they got home, Maia would share her story about the parrot.

Maia: I see a parrot!
Ninang Miyako: Really? Wow! That's nice! What did the parrot say?
Maia: "NI HAO MA?!!!" :D

I forgot who asked Maia but it's either Lolo Ell or Daddy Prince who asked Maia how much the parrot costs. Maia replied "600!" Wow how cheap can that be to buy a trained parrot :)  It actually costs a fortune. So Daddy Prince said, "Ok Maia! Daddy will buy lovebirds...".  Maia still wanted a parrot :P

Today, Lolo Ell and Lola Kendi gave Maia a big surprise..... :)

Parakeets!!! (^^)

We went to the night market tonight and wow, everywhere there's food :9
