Noriter

One of those days. 4:25 PM. Alone. July 28 Hee

 Story of my life for almost a week now. Five hours of bumming around Cafe Noriter, waiting for customers to claim their shirts. Well, I always get a free cake, courtesy of Green Tee, so it just sounds cool.

Because of continuous bumming, I think feel that I am 125 pounds na. That means to say, I've gained 11 pounds already since we started distributing the shirts. Non stop sweets. Boo.

I promise to shed off some fat as soon as we are done making some $$$. Heee.

Still happy,

Aly

Chinese at its Best

Remember the time when I tweeted about Han Pao, and said that I am going to blog about it sometime? Well I guess, the perfect time is now. Hee.

Han Pao resides in one of the commercial buildings in Mandaluyong, particularly in Shaw Boulevard. If it weren't for my father, we wouldn't get the chance to discover such a treasure in such an unexpected place.

I consider the Tea House, as one of my favorite restaurants.  They serve the most delicious Chinese food, (in my very humble opinion) that I ever tasted. Aside from that, their dishes come in a very affordable price. Trust me when I say it's affordable. In our family, we really value the phrase "value for money" Heehee.

Aside from serving sumptuous food. I personally love this place because, it has, seen me grow. I have celebrated many of my memorable moments here. I also have witnessed how this humble tea house turned its aesthetics to simple classy from being just so plain.

I have celebrated countless of celebrations here. These were some of the pictures to show you a few.

My Sister's Graduation

Han Pao will always be my personal and my family's favorite because of the what it has brought me and my family,- a venue that helped us share our joys and build memories together.

With lots of love and joy,
Alyana

I am happier with my life now. I have built a better relationship with God. My family and loved ones are happy abt it and they've been supporting me. Lots of things to be grateful for. Thank u Lord.

And I have yet to complete a month of attending services. Hee. I thank the Lord for making this possible. I thank the Lord for drawing me closer to Him. I thank you Father for giving me strength. I thank You for letting me know the desires of my heart. I just thank You for everything that You've been showering me. :)

I thank my momma who has been constant of asking me how my Sundays have been. For always reminding us not to forget to attend Sunday services. I thank my best mom for supporting me and always reminding me that I am a good person. I am grateful for my mother for reminding me to follow the desires of my heart.

I thank my sister for being with me all the time. I am most thankful for my sister, whom I consider my bestfriend for not complaining every Sunday morning when we got to wake up early and commute from Manila all the way down to Pasig. I thank her for the encouragemet she gives me when she wakes me up in the morning and tells me: "Ate tara na, ligo na tayo, malalate na tayo". I thank her for inspiring me in her own ways. I am proud of her because in such an early age she's capable of making sacrifices, and doesn't consider it as a burden but a share. I am proud to say that, my sister's saving up 10 to 20 pesos of her allowance daily just so she can have a share for the fare in our commute and meals. :)

I thank my loved ones for supporting me. I thank my best friend and my lover, Leo for understanding me. I thank him for respecting my choices. I thank him for still being open despite of our differences. For going with me if he has the time. For just being positive.

I thank my friends for being there for me. For supporting me. For being living testaments of Jesus' love. I thank them for reminding me how important it is to live your life for Jesus. I thank them for listening to me. Again, i thank them for listening to me when all i have to do is to talk and to let all the blunders out of my heart. I thank my friends for asking me out to attend Sunday services, even if it means travelling far for some.

Lastly, but definitely not the least. I thank my Papa for respecting my choices. I thank him for he makes me strong. I thank him for he innocently teaches me to fight for what I really believe in. I thank him because inspite of our many differences, at the end of the day he still loves me. I thank him because I personally believe God used him to move me. :)

There are always many things to be grateful about and I am most thankful that God had showed some of them to me. It makes me realize how happy and beautiful life is. I am thankful that God has finally moved me because for the longest time He had been calling me. I am happy with life now. I meant, I am happier with my life now and I know with God by my side there would be endless of things to be thankful and happy about.

...like this, I have made an entry again. Hihi.

Sharing my love and happiness to you,

Aly.

72711: I Like Hugs, Cheek Kisses, and Forehead Kisses

It's one in the morning. It's cold and here I am, wide awake. I still don't know what exactly has moved me to write this entry. I haven't had the time to scribble for more than a month now, so I am most thankful for this chance.

I like love hugs. Big ones.

 

 I actually love hugs way better than kisses, but don't get me wrong- I love cheek kisses, and forehead kisses too.

Hugs, for one, make me feel secured. It makes me feel that, I am not alone. It makes me feel assured, or re-assured (in a sense, whichever is applicable). It makes me feel loved, or better to say, it makes me remember that I am loved. It just makes me feel happy, plus the fact that I love hugs because I am fond of feeling the squingy stuff. It makes me relax. (There is actually no squingy word in the dictionary but I like to connote it like that)

I am usually the type of person who, as much as possible, doesn't want to disturb someone. I do not like the feeling of disturbing so instead of bombarding him/her with my problems,  I just like hugging someone, and being hugged by someone when I am really down, or when I am about to break down, or when I am just tired of explaining everything because it just hurts me. It's like having an excuse to not say anything at all. It's like letting it all out without saying a word.

I like to give hugs when I am happy for someone too. I mean genuinely happy. It's one of my ways of saying and making someone feel, "Yaay!! I am super duper mega happy for you!".

Also, I feel the person's sincerity when the person hugs me better than when he/she kisses me. I do not know exactly why, but I'd like to keep it that way.

I feel the same way, when speaking of cheek and forehead kisses. These two for me, are like hugging, but on a more personal and intimate note. 

Aside from finding and feeling that cheek and  forehead kisses are romantic, Hugs + Forehead/Cheek kisses make me feel the person's sincerity. For one, I feel respected. I do not feel taken advantaged of.

I do not know, but fact is, Hugs, big ones, Cheek Kisses, and Forehead Kisses are classic. I'll never get used to those because those just give me a happy feeling. Fact is, those will always be my favorite.
