Day 2 of the Blog Challenge and todays post will be 9 loves.
It’s hard to pick only 9 because I’m the type of person who has a wide variety of interests. With much thought and evaluation I came up with these.
9 LOVES
1. I love colors. It makes everything look vibrant. It stimulates mood and it has characteristics in its own.
2. I love to read. Reading exercises my imagination and creativity.
3. I love taking pictures of people sleeping. It’s the innocence of the person sleeping that makes me joyful to capture that moment. I don’t post them in social media, I only keep them for myself. It’s too bizarre isn’t it?

4. I love to learn to play guitar but it doesn’t love me back. I’ve always been wanting to learn the instrument but I, for no reason, can’t push through. I’m still hoping though, maybe someday.=)
5. I love Architecture. It became the love of my life ever since I let go of the very hope of training back in Taekwondo. There’s something in Architecture that keeps reminding me to be always grounded, to be always alert and ready for battle, to be always on my toes and to be always an empty cup.
6. I love storage. 😀 In my previous post, one of my secrets were I want everything to be in complete order, yes? So, because I want to keep things in order I want everything in stored. I like boxes, cans, and everything I can use for storage. It gives me a peace of mind.
7. I love old houses. I’ve learned to love heritage structure because of my Sociology Professor and my Architectural Conservation Professor. They were so passionate about it that they were able to inspire me to value the story of the past, to value the story of each structure, that everything from the past interconnects to the present and will be in the future. And the history should be valued because it honed us to what we are now today.
8. I love books. They’re a work of art and literature weaved to perfection. Words that are carefully composed to create a harmony and book designers adding visual vibrancy to the concept of the author. What a great piece of art!
9. I love my mom. My mom is my mom and dad 24/7. She stood as the mom and dad for us since my dad, during our formative years and caught of the present need, needs to work outside the country. She’s both emotional and strong. She’s emotional because that’s what she is, and she is strong because she never let go of Her father, Her provider. She’s a great mom and I can’t exchange it to anything. I love you mom and thank you for trusting me. =)
My mom taught me to live life to the fullest and that life isn’t a sprint, it’s a marathon one must endure.A training that you must learn to love with all of your heart. A journey to Mordor, a life with purpose.
“The mystery of human existence lies not in just staying alive, but in finding something to live for (passion).”
