UndERnEAth My CLotHeS











“How to Make My dReams Come True”…  lying in bed.. on a Saturday afternoon with the perfect weather outside… the perfect time to be doing something..yet here i am in bed.. writing what im suppose to be doing.. writing  how..instead of doing the how…

..when i started with the above excerpt, I was creating a short story in my head.  It started with a thought.. one sentence.. and I continued perusing about it, until I formed a character.. a plot.. and a conflict..

It was so easy.. There I was thinking..books write themselves. I encode it,I start it..    but once an idea commence somewhere in the inset of the brain and a story is formulated,  it somehow knows where it goes from that single thought and new ideas abound limitless..

It’s easy.  Everybody can do it.  Anybody can think, and tell stories and share it to the world.  And almost always, one or two friends will be interested and will come up with a story of their own.  Whether base on real life  or a make up one to make it seem more interesting.

Bottom line is, there are lots of stories, unpublished.. and undiscovered within the idle minds.. Books write themselves, but we have to do the encoding.



{February 18, 2011}   the sweetest thing

James and I had a fight yesterday morning, so we spent the whole “prepping-up-to-go-to-office” time arguing and I left ahead of him.  Usually I seethed with my pent up anger the whole day at the office but this time I txt-ed an apology around 20minutes after we part, while I’m still at the bus, but I never got a reply so I know  he must still be pissed off too.

Come 6pm was our usual txt, him informing me he’s going home and asking me what time will I be able to get out of the office.  Then me txt-ing back what he wants for dinner.  It was pretty usual and civil at best.  When I arrived home it was like the fight never happened.  We greeted each other with a kiss, eat dinner in front of the TV and cuddle up after.

Since I still feel guilty for blowing things out of proportion earlier that morning, I was extra sweet and apologize again this time face to face.  He said he’s sorry too and told me..

” You look so good in your outfit today,.. I didn’t get a chance to tell you this morning”

My heart fluttered a million times a minute with this statement.   I was wearing my fat pants and very ordinary polo shirt.  And he still love it on me.. ..

I am so in love..=)

Isn’t it the sweetest thing?….

2 years after… ..

looks like we made it
Look how far we’ve come my baby
We mighta took the long way
We knew we’d get there someday

They said, “I bet they’ll never make it”
But just look at us holding on
We’re still together still going strong

(You’re still the one)
You’re still the one I run to
The one that I belong to
You’re the one I want for life
(You’re still the one)
You’re still the one that I love
The only one I dream of
You’re still the one I kiss good night

Ain’t nothin’ better
We beat the odds together
I’m glad we didn’t listen
Look at what we would be missin’
