my sanctuary

BOOKS. Now that's a good escape.. every now and then, we do need a break. from all the problems, the drama, or sometimes of all the good things. in short: life.

it's definitely a good cure for loneliness. speaking from experience, of course. from everything i've went through (hell and back again) it's been my one ally. the one who knew exactly what i needed.

lately, we've been reunited. during my weak moments when talking doesn't help.. im still struggling, i guess.. still fighting for the peace i rightly deserve. of course, that's not always the case but again, weak moments.
haay, i long for the day when i can open up a good book and truly appreciates its value. not just an excuse for distraction. i guess that's why i hardly go out these days, but that's a different story.. maybe if im not too distracted, i'll write about one of those days.

PS. Orhan Pamuk's my guide these days.. with My name is Red.

of new beginnings

a friend insisted that i should start blogging, so here i am.

what to say? well, for one thing, i'd like to say sorry to all those people who kept telling me they're texting me or trying to contact me and i haven't replied. it wasn't intentional, im just on hiatus.. from the old me. if i could call it that.

a lot has happened, as most of you know and it's not really a life that's easy to adjust to so i'm taking baby steps (imagine the irony). i try to live my life one day at a time as most people would, but mine for a slightly different reason. being a mom hasn't been easy, that much can be said but blessings have been coming which i immensely appreciate. there are days when i feel like i've lost my sanity, strength, and confidence... ( i think it's somewhere in DE right now.. hehe.. just so you know i hate not being able to talk to you like we used to!) fortunately, id be reminded that friends and family are conveniently within my reach and that sometimes i feel guilty for taking advantage of such a huge blessing.
well, so far it's getting easier as days pass. my son's getting bigger, learning a lot and at the same time, teaching me something in return.. life has been good.
