goodbyes seem to always leave a bitter taste in the mouth. it's like all the million things people should've said before the parting get jumbled up and rolled around on the tongue in an undesirable manner. and most of the words don't come out right, or they don't come out at all.:(

Hello, Thoughtful Thursdays.

there's something about the color of the skies. something about the damp sting of the cold summer air. it's the way the road looks after it's been drenched with the rain. or the faint glow of the lamp posts against the grey of the buildings and the cars revving by. it makes me remember things buried in between the pages of tattered notebooks and paper napkins. there used to be piles of those leaves strewn carelessly in my room. the sketches, phrases, sentences. words used to come so easily when it rains.

Wishful Wednesdays

bonjour entranger! this is the first series of [hopefully] many Wishful Wednesdays where i share random stuff i'd love to have at the moment, or i have been wanting to have for a long looong time. so for this particular rainy-gray-cloud-Wednesday, i've been wishing to have..

some piping hot, bittersweet, creamy coffee! preferably the Hazelnut coffee of Bag of Beans, especially on days like these. i honestly believe coffee was invented for the rainy season. they just compliment each other like sunny days and lemonade, or a good playlist and road trips. you get the idea.

and it wouldn't hurt to have coffee in a place like this.

give me some paper and pen and i'm already good to go.:)

there's nothing like a complete Sunday rest with the whole family to rejuvenate the mind and soul.♥ i also miss my violin-in-the-morning-go-to-antique-stores-and-discover-cool-stuff-in-the-afternoon Saturdays. plus i miss spare time on weekdays that i spend with friends. in short, i'm missing a lot of stuff right now. buuuut, i know my hectic days will be over as soon as this project is done. yay!

so i was raving about the apps of my LG phone at one time. and here's a late discovery of 2 other camera apps for your Andoid phone:

Camera360 App. this has some effects that are non-existent with the Vignette Demo camera app. I like the warm tones of their effects because its easy on the eyes and it gives off this sunny-happy feeling.

roidizer App. honestly, there are other camera apps with better effects than this app. but this one can put labels (with some choices for fonts) on your shots! and the polaroid fan that i am can't help but allot some few megabytes of memory for this baby. so there.:)

you can check out other apps here. have happy Monday everyone!

and despite the stress of work, i can still say that i can smile and be giddy on simple things like opening up my lunch bag and finding out my father asked the kasambahay to include 1 Starbucks brownie and pandesal with my lunch, and my mother urging me to bring the Lord Stow's cookie brittle(or whatever you call it) even though it's her favorite. i ♥ them both!!!!:)
