Perfect Two
By Auburn

You can be the peanut butter to my jelly
You can be the butterflies I feel in my belly
You can be the captain and I can be your first mate
You can be the chills that I feel on our first date

You can be the hero and I can be your sidekick
You can be the tear that I cry if we ever split
You can be the rain from the cloud when it's stormin'
Or you can be the sun when it shines in the morning

Don't know if I could ever be without you
Cause boy you complete me
And in time we'll both see
That we're all we need

Cause you're the apple to my pie
You're the straw to my berry
You're the smoke to my high
And you're the one I wanna marry

Cause you're the one for me
And I'm the one for you
You take the both of us
And we're the perfect two
We're the perfect two
Baby me and you
We're the perfect two

You can be the prince and I can be your princess
You can be the sweet tooth I can be the dentist
You can be the shoes and I can be the laces
You can be the heart that I spill on the pages

You can be the vodka and I can be the chaser
You can be the pencil and I can be the paper
You can be as cold as the winter weather
But I don't care as long as we're together

Don't know if I could ever be without you
Cause boy you complete me
And in time we'll both see
That we're all we need

Cause you're the apple to my pie
You're the straw to my berry
You're the smoke to my high
And you're the one I wanna marry

Cause you're the one for me
And I'm the one for you
You take the both of us
And we're the perfect two...

From Foodtrips to Roadtrips...

Hmmm so what am I thinking in this photo? Not sure, though this photo is taken inside Arabella Bakehaus and Coffee Shop in Liliw, Laguna.This quaint little resto is very much known by tourists and locals of this town. Personally, one's visit in Liliw will never be complete without a trip to savor the tastes of Arabela's famous pasta and pizza, and indulge in the sweetness of their various pastries. Okay... I'll stop fantasizing about Arabella for now since I think it deserves a series of entries! Seriously, I actually associated Areballa with the warmth of being with friends; comforting, satisfying and blissful!

Wait a minute, those are exactly the feelings I am craving for right now! These past weeks had been very topsy turvy that I cannot help but wish to be transported somewhere peaceful and soothing!

Oh don't get me wrong, I actually like what I do! Being on top of things, initiating, planning, solving and bazillion of other things (okay, I am exaggerating! Maybe not bazillion... only a million of other things, thank you! :D)

Do I look calm? multiply this by 10 and that's what the stress of the Holidays in HR/Admin world!

Though my love affair with my job is smooth sailing, that doesn't mean I don't crave for a little (JUST A LITTLE) separation from it. And whenever I do, I go out with loved ones, friends and office mates. Schedule a spa, eat out or try new things that can be done in the city.

However, there are just some days - usually when I am near the deadline and I can see a window of vacay-sibility - that an out-of-town rendezvous is much  much more appealing!

 

 A quick trip to nearby Tagaytay wouldn't be a hassle at this times :D

You too surely have your own brand of taking a break. But here's my thoughts for you: wherever or whatever you'll embark, the important thing is, to not forget to breathe in and out, savor the moment and face today's sunshine and sunset with heads up. 

Each journey we take whether with food or short/long drives, is our self-made charms of memories. Wear these charms proudly and share it with the people who are significant to us.

And of course, never forget to get your camera ready, it's a testament of what a feeble memory could lose :-)

This is the Beginning...

Writing is not a foreign thing to me. I enjoy it! Be it for school term papers or my diary. I still dream of having a published work, write for a glossy and win a literary award (no joking, a girl could dream big, right? ;-)

College days I think was the height of my be-a-writer dream, I love reading, researching and writing about what I have learned. So much passion for pen and paper that one of my college Professors (who happens to be our college dean also) wrote in my term paper "...you could become a writer someday." Wow! was my reaction to that.


But somewhere between finishing college and proving myself, I lost the time, will and maybe a subject to write. A long-residing writer's block you may call it, as it is almost five years since i really made a piece. Of course, I wrote a lot of policies, incident reports, disciplinary actions in between, but it is more of routine and work for me.Oh, letters to friends and loved ones may be far and between, but I am counting them as masterpieces ;-)


Until blogging became such a fad, that reading various blogs of "normal" people, one with inner-writer soul could not help but be inspired. And that is what happened to me :-)


This is not the first time I am writing online (as I like to call it since I'm old school, I love the feel of the pen and paper!), I have started in different platforms before. But hopefully, this one will not be lost in the conundrum of my everyday life.


Allow me to have a disclaimer for my very first entry. I may have used the word writer far too many times, but this activity for me is more of releasing myself from my thoughts and feelings, it's a therapy to me. So I will not claim to be an amazing one, just a lady interpreting my world through words.
