Bon Voyage, Jang! Until we meet again!

One of my three bestfriend Jang left this morning and journeyed back to the Philippines but we promised we would keep in touch this time. I was at the airport until 11:30 pm and she boarded her flight at 11:40 pm. It felt sensational during the past few days being able to spend the last three days of her stay here in Los Angeles. I was not enough for us to actually retrospect all the updates and experiences we savored and accumulated all the years but it was acceptably adequate for us to create a new bond of friendship, more robust and sturdy than ever.

It always hurts to say good bye. Jang's mom cried and I heard Jang apologized to her for whatever hurtful situation they engaged in. Tita Leah started shedding tears and I was trying to held up mines. At the airport, I succeeded not to cry but one the way home, I began to have tears fell from my eyes. It's the thought that I am once again far from a friend. First, it was Maff living all the way in Las Vegas and now, Jang, back to PI. These are the ones I consider my bestfriends. And it's proportionally difficult for me to live each day without them in my life physically, but it's rather more painful and immensely difficult because I do not communicate with them as often as normal bestfriends would. It's like having a long distance love affair. There's always the social challenge to keep your friendship intact, growing, but also firm and solid.

But the Lord led me back to my friends, I do not see any reason why he would keep me away from them again at least, emotionally and mentally. He had a purpose for me and Jang to generate new memories and reestablish a once lost frienship. Now, with these afresh pact, we can revive and relive the experience of having a genuine and sincere friendship.

I am one of the fortunate ones who have these opportunities. And I feel blessed.

Jang, I have no idea when you'll be able to read this, but THANK YOU for entering my life again. Then and now, I will still be here for you no matter what. I am so glad to have a buddy, a listener, a partner in crime, a BESTFRIEND in my life again. Let's make this one a life tiem membership.

Until we meet again, please know and never doubt that "I got your back," the same I had your back in the old days.

MY SILENT REVERIES
writing is my passion. i created silent reveries years ago to vent out things i could not tell the world. it was my private, modern tech approach to scribbling my thoughts and emotions in a journal. in here, i can feely be who i am. i could cry my woes, i can love freely, i can grieve over a broken heart, i can celebrate the joys in my heart, i can rejoice with my accomplishments, i can tell stories of remarkable friendships and unforgettable connections i made with extraordinary people SECRETLY AND SILENTLY without worrying people might judge me. i hid under the name PINAY FREESTYLE.

but eventually, some people gained access to my secret place. so i opened my doors to them in the purpose that i could inspire them: to be better versions of themselves and to share themselves to the world. slowly, i embraced my readers as a part of my life. i welcomed the strange idea that my untold life stories and unconcealed revelations could be of help to others, to love and accept themselves as they are. and i, i came out from the animosity. i eventually became just the regular LEN - the nickname my family & friends call me.

i developed stories of love, of letting go, of falling in love all over again. i made great friendships. but if there's one thing i was particularly proud of, it was my undenying love for the LORD. i wrote and made soul searching, heart wrenching entries i entitled, "SPIRITUAL REVERIES" which you will find many here. it was my productive way to heal myself from twinge and while i am at it, i could also mend others spirits along the way and bring them back up to par with their faith and relationships with God. it has not stop there. it's still a constant journey.

and so, for as long as i can, i vowed to tell my memorable reflections,i have unmasked the hidden me. and the seeking and searching of life's meaning and purpose is not over. LIFE is a long road of discovering. and i still yet to discover many wonders of this world and satisfy my unending curiosity. but be warned. you can either love me or hate me. but i don't care. this is me: sripped and bare as i can be.

so i invite you into my chaotic unperfect world. join me in my whirlwind new travels of diving into the unknowns. let me share my life with you all over again. come in, as i tell you my SILENT REVERIES.

love,
len


DISCOVER ME: who is the lady behind the blogs?



"I want to have a personal light, the glow of oneself that comes from sheer willpower, the light of someone who has made important sacrifices in the name of things I think are important."

---Paulo Coelho's "Eleven Minutes"

my name is len. people always tend to judge me without discovering who i really am. i might look intimidating, a typical shop girl, and i act like a crazy party girl on the weekend. but i actually have brains. and i own an even bigger heart. the truth is, beyond the louis vuitton bags, beyond the lavish parties, the excessive passion to travel and the desire to get to know the world, if you got to know the REAL ME, i am really just a simple girl. my only desire is to be loved for who i am.
