mr. dream boy

in the rain poured, chilly breezed, and flodded los angeles

[cell phone rings]

me: (half awake) hello.

AB: hi! this is albert! what are you doing?

me: half asleep. (still groggy)

AB: how are you? what did you do today?

me: i'm in so much pain. the orthopedic doctor did a cortisone shot in the tendons of my foot today. i took some pain reliever.

AB: did you eat? are you hungry?

me: i'm not even thinking about eating. i'm in pain.

AB: but you have to eat! what do you want to eat? what are you craving?

me: (thinking...still groggy) sisig from pinoy pinay in the valley.

AB: huh? what in the world is "sisig?" filipino food? pinoy pinay in the valley? i'm in pasadena. that's 30 minutes away!

me: you don't know what 'sisig' is? it's like 'pulutan' ( pulutan - it's what filipinos eat while they are drinking alcohol.) it's like chopped pork marinated with ginger, onions and then slightly sizzled in its own fat.

AB: oh i remember...almost like tokwa and baboy but it's chopped pork and it's a little crunchy. right?

me: uhuh.

AB: okay....i'm on my way to get it. do you want anything else? what about a drink? halo-halo?

me: nope. just want that.

AB: okay. consider it done. call you later.

[yeah right, he's going to get it. it's raining cats and dogs. the traffic is congested. by the time he gets to my house, it will be two hours. eh. i'll go to back to sleep]

one hour later.

cell phone rings again.

me: hello...where are you now?

AB: 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1...i'm in front of your house in the pouring rain. sorry i was late. it was bumper to bumper traffic. i could've been here sooner. okay. meet me in the front of your house.

me: okay.

i wasn't kidding when i said it was storming. it was windy and breezy and the pools of water lined our street. and there in the pouring rain, AB smiles, under a black umbrella...holding my 'sisig.'

AB: here yah go.

me: you actually went? i thought you got lazy... the rain and all.

AB: you said you wanted it.

me [awww...don't show too much excitement] thank you. you're the best!

AB: okay, i gotta go now. just want to make sure you eat today. but i have to buy dinner for my mommy and my aunt. i'll call you later (hugs and kisses as i watched him drive off in the drenched weather.)

seriously. isn't AB the most caring guy in the world? i'm lucky! =)

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.
