i'm hurt and i am upset.

i got into a huge argument with my baby brother. he's 13 for chrissake! he answered me back and yelled at me for telling him i can drop him off for his dance class since my lazy sister decided her friends were more important than her own brother.

. i was about to do some errands, pay the bills, run to the bank, buy me a new nursing uniform, then mom calls: "cancel your plans today. we have visitors coming with me and we're heading there. please clean the house and prepare something for us. " mom, my sis, and i agreed this mornign that i'll be able to pick my brother but my sis needed to drop him off. i thought that was the plan.

wrong.

okay. i decided to drop my brother off but mom wanted me so much more and i have things to take care of, too. my point was just let me do the things i needed to get done and i'll attend on the errands she wanted me to do. but no, she demanded she needed me NOW. and so i agreed to drop my plans. willingly, i agreed to take my bro to dance school.

what does he do? he threw tantrums at me. even worse, it was supposed to be my fault that he was late and he didn't want to go and that he doesn't want to go....just because...he doesn't want to anymore. of course, i got mad! first and for all, you do not talk to me in a high tone when i am mellow and talking to you nicely. second, i am the older one and he is 13. third, i demand respect, whether he liked it or not. to make it shorter, he thought he was superior so i just walked away and left.

i'm typing this at the starbucks coffee here at century city ( thank god for wireless modem...) and i 've been trying so hard to hold the tears from falling down my eyes because people are around me. i've been driving around for an hour just to get rid of the anger and the hurt. truth is, i've been crying while driving. i just needed to find a spot to "cool off."

what's hurting me most is the fact that i try my best to be a wonderful sister to them. i would give them my last meal if they were starving. i'd give everything just so they are are contented. and what do i get? i get blame for things i didn't even do. and it pains me because i worked so hard just so i can provide them with life's necesities.

i am just waiting for my eye bags to swell down so i can go back home and pretend it didn't affect me. tomorrow, i'm badck to my 16 hours shift at work. tomorrow, i'll just work overtime....

to forget the twinge temporarily...to numb the pain...

any way, that was the same reason why i decided to indulge myself into 16 hours shifts, sometimes i do a double....

because i wanted to get rid of the pain...even just for a moment.

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.
