playlist for ana

dear hs bestie gurl ana. days in the couch, at times, in bed, jumping from one song to another. can't be sure if you have listened to one of the tracks here. so excited compiling these mixed songs for you. play it for me if you're headed to work. thank you for the "radness", you always radiate that thing. if clouds were sunny, it gives us yellow rains. i love you to bits like i love everyone around me. let's get me back to bed, and think of frothy pillows floating in the sky, and trees hanging on the wall, with policies stipulated that everyone should be as happy darling as you. hugs, gurl


gurl (in Aurora's world is defined as a word used for the endearment of two local souls hailing from cebu but were torn apart by happy whistles and chanting stars)

this is a playlist with a letter i have made for the coolest high school bestie.

Where's your wave?

I wish I could go surfing today but I know, somewhere out there, someone's getting tubed or dancing on her mini-mal! Go, get a wave for me! Happy International Surfing Day! 

me, in front of a desktop, at work, with much aloha vibe!

Summer Trip x Bohol (Chocolate Hills + Prony)

Sunrise in Bohol, my feet on the ferry stairs (Mint Green, F21), empty swimming pool of my Aunt's place

Mama, with her  60s-era hat, her real generation

Looks like I didn't feel being tired! Straight from work, baby!

The Man-made Forest on the way back to Tagbilaran from the Chocolate Hills

Must-try homemade chocolate+mango ice cream at Prony's site (Snackbar owned by a German guy) PHP40

Prony Burger, yummy for PHP100 only. ;)

Prony, changing skin

Loboc River in the afternoon

Quick beach essentials : my new Diane von Fursternberg ( DVFlovesRoxy ) bikini pair, Rip Curl hat and flip-flops, vintage-inspired rings (gift from my French friend Marion and Bazaar finds)

Family (Top Left: With Mama, with my brother ; Bottom Left to Right: my nephew and niece, my Uncle and Mama)

Straight from work, out around early in the evening, took a cab headed to the Pier. The family was waiting for me, we were Bohol-bound. I couldn't say anything other than, I am frekken excited! Bohol has been one of my top easy-to-go-destination after a long week of work or even before when I still had to go to uni. 

I am not sure how many times I have been here, countless for sure. My niece is 4 years old now and it's the best time to show her around Bohol, especially, Chocolate Hills. Every kid wonders about it. How it looks like and does it even taste sweet? LOL 

Anyhoo, back when I was younger like 8 years old, I really thought it was real choco-coated hills. My childhood development wasn't as quick as Tom and Jerry playing hide-and-seek. And now, back to see those cute little protruding granite-formed cups (perhaps), always make feel so thankful to have seen such. Though, at first, I was just really itching to go to the beach. Happy enough that our little girl in the family was able to see 'em. ;)

Back in Cebu now.

Poem : Pre-Valentine's

Black Nails

by Rotten Nuke

I secretly say to myself indeed, Hello.

The world, hello?

Forget the trail, it was not.

The path it lead me to lie.

Lied to the shadow beneath the wall.

Mine, I cried.

Run, I must, I could not fathom.

Do you feel how it feels?

I know you feel it.

Do you scare my feelings?

You remember me at once.

Did you say I didn't forget?

You thought about me.

Was the trip back home good?

It was. It was.

It should vanish.

In no time, it will perish.

It should vanish.

It stabs my wish.

Walked, away from you. I did it.

Stalking is delightful. Did you?

Did you stalk me?

I stalked you, to keep you warm.

To keep you always loving.

Did you think I will forget you?

Where am I going to?

To forget you.

It should tarnish.

In no time, I will cripple down.

It should lavish.

Your love, I should have known.

I do not even know who you are.

Writing this to you.

Who are you?

There has been going through a lot in my life lately but the best thing about it, it made me so happy.

I have to post a lot of stuff! Work has come its way. But I love it.

Surfing x Cloud9 Waves

Surf was real good back in my 3rd home -  Siargao. I'm not lost there but a place I love so much. Hibernation took control of me in a month and now I am back again. Procrastination guaranteed. Now watching Bondi Rescue, feels so good to get back on the island memories. Took these photos down here last September with the Cloud9 waves. No one snapped a board for this day though. ;) And kooks are not allowed. Ocean's fun, all are welcome. I miss the island. Damn much.

Pretty gnarly. xx

Dripping tears of happy thoughts

The moments both shared in sweet days

I live each second the memory of you

With Viking veins, my cheek and a tight embrace

A squeeze of touch, lingering in me

Your light whispers that tingles deep

As we lay down, our hearts collide

A downhill path of emotions' steep

Lovely it is, the long kiss, the warmth

The scent of a man I closely desire

Feelings you have fallen, mirrored out

It's burning with intense, slow sexy fire

The curve goes up to her peach ears

Guffaw we made with moonlight fears

As I wander in my deep, scissored skull

I oppose, with you, time ain't dull

In days for years I cannot digress

What myself enchanted, his persuasiveness

If time can tell what far end sees

Famished lips to meet, tongues to tease.

xx

Droppande tårar av glada tankar

De stunder båda delade i söta dagar

Jag bor varje sekund minnet av dig

Med Viking vener, min kind och en stram omfamning

En pressad beröring, dröjande i mig

Ditt ljus viskar som pirrar djup

Som vi fastställa våra hjärtan kolliderar

En downhill bana av känslor "brant

Härlig är den lång kyss, värmen

Doften av en man som jag noga önskar

Känslor du har fallit, speglade ut

Det brinner med intensiv, långsam sexig brand

Kurvan går upp till hennes persika öron

Gapskratt vi gjort med månsken rädsla

Som jag vandrar i min djupa, scissored skalle

Jag motsätter mig med dig, tiden inte tråkig

I dagar för år kan jag inte utvikning

Vad jag själv förtrollad, hans övertalningsförmåga

Om tiden kan se vad bortre änden ser

Utsvulten läppar att möta, tungor att retas.

My hibernation has ended. I am back.
