father's love

for changing my diapers when i was young,
for making my milk at three in the morning,
for singing me lullabies just to make me feel asleep,
for taking me to any place i wanted,
for my first bike ride, my first party, first car,
for tucking me under the covers when i was a baby (until now sometimes),
for teaching me how to wash my underwears,
for buying my maxi pads on my first menses,
for throwing huge parties during my teens,
for training me the basic skills in life,
for tutoring me to play the piano,
for implanting me how to sing,
for plaring the role of a father and mother when mom had to go away,
for feeding my siblign and i especially at times when we were financially depressed,
for raising us from ignorant children into intelligent and woderful adults,
for making me understand why mom can't be there,
for instilling me life worth values and morals,
for preparing me to face the harshness of life,
for drilling me how to sew, cook, do the laundry,
for grounding me to be firm and strong,
for understanding things mother can't understand,
for being the lenient and cool one,
for giving me endless cash flows,
for granting me me what i want,
for letting me make my own decisions,
for supporting my endeavors,
for encouraging me to try again at times i felt i failed,
for making me conquer my fears,
for indoctrinating love, generosity, and respect for others
for understanding and sometimes, healing a broken heart,
for spreading my wings,
for enlightening me with wisdom and knowledge,
for wiping my tears,
for defending me ceaselessly,
for loving me regardless what i did,
for accepting me the way i am,
for molding my personality and character,
for being the best person, not only to me, but to others,
for imparting love for the Lord, family, and friends,
for preparing us to beat the odds,
for simply being the best dad.
for always doing all these things and more,
for all that you have been,
for all that you are,
for all that you're yet to be,
THANK YOU, PAPA
i love you very much.

happy father's day and happy 52th birthday to papa.

for all of who don't know, i am and have always been a daddy's little girl. all that i am now, it is because he molded me to be a beautiful person inside and out. i owe it all to him. he played a huge part of the strong willed woman standing right infront of you. without him, i will be nothing. he is the reason why i breath, why i succeed, why i am trying to be the best i can be. it is because i want him to be proud of me. his love will be forever leave me in debt that i will never be able to pay because his love for me and my siblings is unconditional and everlasting. if there was one person who brought my shine, it was my dad. he is the sun who brought wonderful glimmer to my world. thank you, papa for being the wind beneath my wings and for making me fly. at all times, i love you.

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.
