barely breathing, barely awake

with the strenous demands of term paper, projects and the approaching mid term exams after my spring break, the energy wasting hours of 3 - 11 and 7am- 7 pm work schedules in a hospital setting, and the arrival of my overworked big sis yearning for a time off to rest, my four year old niece who runs & climbs here and there, and my six years old nephew who stayed in the bedroom & played video games all morning and all night long, all three from the philippines, and to add to that is the enermous amounts of household chores and other job interview i must i attend to in the upcoming week, i am practically dead.

my work is not much of a job. it's more of staying up. and i am guilty of not doing a good job at staying up because as soon as the clock striked 8 pm (on my 3- 11 shift), boom, i slept because i had nothign else to do.

when i am home, i am bombarded with errands. or i'm with the two little and adorable kids who couldn't get enough of me and wanted to play 24 hours a day.

homeworks, assignments, projects are piled up and yet, i procrastinate. i do not have the time to do it. well, if i did, most of my tiem were spent with my sis and my kins.

social life has been up for the past two months or so. i had been to the hottest parties and the steamiest clubs one can ever think of if they were in los angeles. in fact, all my weekends are booked except for this coming one because i had to work. we'll see how the rest will be.

with three hours of sleep and an overworked body and drained mind and emotionally tired heart, i am surprised...i'm still breathing.

i just realized glenn is getting married in two weeks, i have not talked to AB in roughly two weeks, i have not explored the "dating scene" in months, i do not think i am over ron ( part of me wants him still). eh. i told you, i am emotionally drained.

truth is, this new set up is a better way of disregarding what i feel. for the past week, i have been ignoring my twinge and i guess that is good because i have forgotten how to cry...to feel the pain. i am learning and teachign myself to feel numb and to redirect and refocus on things that are important and on people who loves me dearly.

i have yet to meet my someone special.

but for the moment, let me breathe...hmm. i'm still squinting my eyes....yearning for some sleep. so i guess, i shoudl go back to bed and catch me some.

ciao.

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.
