Pilgrim's Theme

Tired of weaving dreams too loose for me to wear
Tired of watching clouds repeat their dance on air
Tired of getting tired of doing what's required
Is life a mere routine in the greater scheme of things

Through with taking roads someone else designed
Through with chasing stars that soon forget to shine
Through with going through one more day - what's new
Does my life still mean a thing in the greater scheme of things

REFRAIN 1:
I think I'll follow the voice that calls within
Dance to the silent song it sings
I hope to find my place
So my life can fall in place
I know in time I'll find my place
In the greater scheme of things

Each must go his way, but how can I decide
Which path I should take, who will be my guide
I need some kind of star to lead me somewhere far
To find a higher dream in the greater scheme of things

The road before me bends, I don't know what I'll find
Will I meet a friend or ghosts I left behind
Should I even be surprised that You're with me in disguise
For it's Your hand I have seen in the greater scheme of things (REFRAIN 1)

BRIDGE:
For Yours is the voice in my deepest dreams
You are the heart, the very heart
Of the greater scheme of things (REFRAIN 1)

REFRAIN 2:
Why don't we follow the voice that calls within
Dance to the silent song it sings
One day we'll find our place
For all things fall in place
For all things have a place
In the greater scheme of things

Heima

While looking through interest, I stumbled upon a picture from our very own Heima:

I clicked on the link and it lead me to the Anthology Magazine website. It makes me Pinoy proud!

My first Heima experience:

My mom was talking about this store she wanted to show me and said that it reminded her of me. It turns out to be the Heima store. 

I dropped by their store recently and I couldn't agree more, this store is so me! I love their mixed matched furniture, framed calligraphy, cute washi tape and over all mood of the store. Since we are moving house soon, I'm getting a lot of ideas for decorating. It's quite exciting! I used to find it frustrating when I was younger because we were already given the chance to chose the color of our room, the tiles, etc. and I wouldn't know what to pick. As the years went by, I became more confident in what I wanted. Moving houses a lot made me love looking at home stuff alot and my mom,being a home entertainer, influenced me too to love anything from glassware, fabrics, home decor, etc.  Ive also got Pinterest to keep me inspired by the home! It's actually so easy to get inspiration nowadays with the internet.  

Hopefully when we move, I'll get to document the decorating process! 

Hi Blog...

I've fallen in love with Pinterest! You can check out my boards here. 

It's been so inspiring to keep looking at different pictures lately, especially since we'll be moving house soon. I'm planning on organizing and decorating from ideas I've saved in my Pinterest. It's a good change from weheartit.com

It's Illy and I's 2nd anniversary today! YIPEE! I'm happy for us two! 

The summer has been awesome: a family trip to Thailand, summer overnights and day trips to the beach, labor day weekend and enjoying the other chill weekends! I hope I can spend a lot more time with my family and friends in the coming months. I'm also thinking of visiting two of my good friends who are now working in Singapore during the sembreak. A lot of exciting things coming up- our lola's 80th celebration in December and my eldest brother's wedding in January!  

Just because

11 and counting...

Heart's Day

A few things I learned recently:
1. It's a challenge to make kids smile when having their yearbook pictures taken.
2. I learned that you can use petroleum jelly as clear mascara! Just apply some to your lashes and curl them after. Cool!
3. Study groups or working with company are very productive :D

What I know

I was never good with words. I usually express the way I feel more by actions, showing concern and crying. Oh the tears, once it starts it never stops. I thought I was very emotional, but it turns out, other people can shed more tears than I do and with bigger, life altering problems to match. So I am very grateful, yet uneasy as to how I should deal with things. People, relationships, decisions.

Crawl up,EMO shizz.

Anyway, I fell in love with this song the first time I heard it on American Idol. I searched for the lyrics right after the show and found out it was made by Kara Dioguardi, who was a judge at the time. It's now Katherine McPhee ft. Zachary Levi's single but ultimately I think Didi Benami sang it the best!

There's no school today for the burial of our country's Ina ng Bayan, Cory Aquino. May she rest in Peace.

I've been inspired by a lot of things recently, from youtube videos of all sorts, fashion blogs and arts and craft websites. But school and lack of thrill in my everyday activities is kinda bringing me down. I wish I had more resources.haha

Though I am very thankful for a lot of things :)

Currently I've been wanting to go ukay-ukay shopping for some reason.

It's been crazy weather recently.

Here is a cute and short film made last 2007 by students from Gobelins school in France and was nominated for many awards, including Best Animated Short Film in the 2009 Acadamy awards.
This film was shown to us in our Art Appreciation class and I couldnt help but watch it again. And I would really LOVE to visit Santorini, Greece some day!
