Nostalgia.

You know what's better than making memories?

Knowing that you can always go back to them through images captured with the heart.

International Leaders' Conference 2010.

Shameless self-promotion for my nonexistent readers. xP

This here is Chopper, my brother's Pomeranian. He's 4 months old and he smells like fur. I love him to bits, though.

He bites me playfully and he loves to chew on his fur, like all dogs, and he loves company.

I love this dog, really, I do.

Whoever said that diamonds were a girl's best friend obviously didn't have a dog.

More shameless self-promotion here.

Where in the heck is my midnight snack!?

Days have been slowly turning into mashed up pieces of warped up time. I don't remember what day it is anymore, and I'm completely screwed up with all this thingamajigs. It's 5:20 AM in the Philippines.. which means it's 12:20 AM in Qatar.. which means 1:20 AM in Oman and UAE, which means.. ahh, I could go on forever.

But that's not the point of this blog. Oh crap, now I think I don't even think if my blog - which I shall start writing now (wait.. I have started) - will have a point.

Fine. Anyway, I was randomly leafing through the pictures I took this summer vacay and when I saw my cousins (actually, my cousin's children), I remember an incident which happened a little after a week into my parent's arrival.

We were cruising on the car on the way home when the tire popped

, much to the chagrin of everyone, and to the surprise of me - who was comfortable tucked in a wool blanket and typing randomly on my sister's laptop. Good thing the police were there to help us, and mind you, they were fast.. I would've hated being in the sun in that heat, and wearing something hideous.

I was still busy typing - albeit without the blanket, it was hot; frustrated since nothing was seemingly coming out my medulla oblongata, or wherever it is that thoughts come pouring in when I heard my little 6 year old nephew mumble in frustration..

"Hala, tita Joy.. sisikat na tayo sa TV mamaya! :D"

And I translate.. "Tita (or Auntie, whatever) Joy.. we'll be famous later when we're shown in the TV! :D"

Apparently, little kids have this mentality in mind that even the littlest road problems can turn into a heartwarming news coverage.

I think he was disappointed when we got home, still no more famous than who we were when we embarked on the journey.

I love kids. Haha. ;-D

*He's not the nephew, he's a kid though. I was thinking to post actual nephew's picture but decided to spare him his dignity for when he stumbles across this blog when I'm old. XD

OCD. ADHD. JOY.

Lately I have been making attempts - however futile - to unearthen past accounts, revive them, and err, simply reuse them. Boredom does make people do stupid, weird things. And as you can see, I have been attacked by it; boredom; I mean.

Summer's about to end, and I am feeling a mix of apprehension, hesitation, and excitement. The summer's been far from boring, yet.. I usually feel I could've made it better. Should've, in fact. Oh heck, let's face it.. this summer was easily one of the best I've had, I met real good friends, made eternal (hoping against hope) bonds, and helped alot of people. But somehow, a part of me still longs for more enjoyment, more fun. Ohh, I don't know what I want anymore.

A month from now I'll be 15. A month from now I become a senior. A month from now.. I'll be entering the first month of the final fronteir of high school. And I am nervous. Seriously. I really want to do real well this year. :) Pray for me?

Well anyway, I've very recently unleashed the photographer in me, and I'm definitely proud of how things worked out. I have a digital SLR, not top of the line.. mind you, but I would like to think I have the talent. Surely I'm not that bad.

And because of that, I shall constantly post things here in blogger with a picture. My picture. Heh. That sounded.. not right. A picture I took. There. *insert triumphant smile here*

And nooow, I'm definitely rambling, and I'm pretty sure you're not even reading this. But what the hey, let the girl have some fun, eh? :)

Pic of the Day..
Took this in Tagaytay. Check my flickr, fellow blogger. :) [Oh, that did rhyme, didn't that? xD]

Toodles. XOXO.
