ONE TOUGH CHICK

ONE TOUGH CHICK

wide awake as everyone else are in the warmth of their beds. it's 3:38 in the morning, for heaven's sake. if it was up to me, i would doze off. like the rest, i'd like to sleep the night away. but thoughts of twinge invade the coldness of this winter night.


what could i have done right or wrong this time? i can't answer that. maybe, i was gullible. maybe, i was innocent. or maybe, it was real...i really loved him 'that much.' but you know what? i have to give myself a pat in the back. as far as i am concerned, i have done everything right. i may not be equipped with a lot of experience but i am certainly convinced i gave it my best shot. and no, i am not in denial. i am sure. i loved him but i also loved myself enough to leave. despite of the overwhelming fear of getting hurt again, this whole "glued together" heart of mine took a chance to love again.

i am faced with "what now?" question...again. most of my close friends called and texted and emailed with heartwarming messages. kuya art even said, "akala ko nagpakamatay ka na!" (i thought you killed yourself). and i couldn't help but laughed so hard. i am humored by that because i would never do that. my life is too precious. rick uttered, " F*** that ***hole! i am so proud of you for leaving! you don't deserve him. " perhaps, he was right. i was just too blind to see that. one of my long time admirer offered, "i'm still waiting..." and i'm flattered but i don't think i would be ready.

truth is, i have no sense of direction. but i honestly know what i want. i advised my ownself that i won't stop my self from crying. i will let myself cry it off. and i did...since last night...the whole day...and now again. for how long, i don't know. but i promise i'll make it a short and sweet sobbing session.

i am blessed with a great life surrounded by many people who cares for me immensely. i am loveless, heartbroken, and i've been crying like a baby, but it's a wonderful life, nonetheless. where do i go from here? i still have to recuperate from the surgery, i have school and work waiting for me, i have lovedones to thank...and more parties to attend to, more vacation to take...the amount of things to do, places to see and adventures to seek are limitless.

i'm one tough chick who can wrestle and spar with life's most difficult battles. no one and nothing can kill that extraordinary spirit. it's just human nature that i am hurting and so i am letting the tears fall naturally. i'm just a mere human. so if anyone sees me crying, it doesn't mean, i am weak. i guess, if there's any consolation, all the tears makes me stronger and the twinge defines me as a better person.

so, don't worry. i am strong. no one can hold me down. but...please...for now, just...let me sob.

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.
