I just finished Toy Story 3. I knew for a fact I wouldn't be wasting any penny If I watched in on the big screen but I didn't have the time and the company. So there, I downloaded it and watched as salty tears drip down my cheeks. It was so fucking good! It's simple, it's real and it's about us. Yes, us. You, me, everyone! All of us have been kids, our respective experiences might not have been with toys but it always revolves around the idea of moving on or growing up. I can totally relate to it.

I can't and would not want to stop telling you stories why I love Baguio. I've been there, say, a good four and a half of my adolescent life and during that period I managed to change into a whole new person. I used to think that come a year working here in Manila, I'd forget how beautiful it is to wake up in the morning wrapped up in sheets of blanket not wanting to come out of because of the cold. But I was wrong. I also thought that since I was formerly from Pampanga (which is a hotttt place), I'd get used to waking up in the morning dripping with sweat while taking my daily commute, but no. I still miss walking to school wearing my flip-flops and making fun of the air that I breath because it looks just like the one you see in the movies.

I love Baguio so much that my emotions are at its peak when I go there. I am insanely happy and I can get by the day just watching CSI or Bones with Hunbun. I'm madly in love with the place and with the things that it has done to me. I will never move on and I will never grow apart from it.

If I had the chance, and If it weren't for my parents who wanted me to work in Manila, I would've looked for work there. I would've loved to go to Session Road every night and just walk home, I won't mind. I could've been more creative in clothes that I can wear to work, or accessories that I can play with to spice up my outfit.

 Its been 6 months since I last updated my blogs. I decided to perform a hiatus from the internet, thus at first limited my time to logging in to social networking sites, my blogs, etc. It was hard because I kept having thoughts of updates in my head, what could have been my tumblarity or new photos that I can check out on multiply. I also wondered about blogs I wouldn't be able to follow and what not. 

It was quite effective I presume. I found myself, what I really wanted and what I thought I wanted. I spent more time with my family and friends, I decided to spend more time travelling and spending my money on leisure rather than saving it up for nothing. Before I went on this hiatus, I can say I was a stuck up bitch glued to the internet most of the time reading and ogling other people's sites. I learned that there is a thin line between utilizing the internet and merely using it as an excuse for laziness. I missed it a lot, I won't deny that. But I'm not that addicted to it. I know when to use it and when to stop. 

I've seen a lot of contests, updates, blogs and photos that I have failed to read, check out or comment on but that's fine. Knowing about these updates in person is more fulfilling. Being able to talk to the person in actuality is better. Now I know when I'm over the line. 

For now, let's get my updates back. After 6 months, this is how I look like:
