Autumn in my Heart

Life fails to be perfect...
but never fails to be beautiful!

I have always longed for Autumn! From the moment I've read about the four seasons of Japan, I wanted to see with my own eyes what Autumn really is...

And then, God is so good that I was given the chance to work in the Land of the Rising Sun: Japan. And now for 4 years, I have witnessed the beauty of Autumn season. 

my first autumn :)

See how big my smile was? hahaha Autumn never fails me. It keeps on giving me the chills and excitement... Even for 4 years, I still can't get enough... 

I took this picture at the park near our apartment

During our Nikko Trip last 2012. 

Autumn is the second spring...
where every leaf is a flower
- Albert Camus

During our Kansai Tour 2013
I prefer to be a photographer rather than a model during this trip hahaha :)

I took this photo since I missed someone special... I never thought it would turn out to be this good hihi 

~ lovely isn't it?

Mandatory Selfie hihi @ Showa Kinen Kouen Tokyo

Enjoying Autumn Bliss with my love! <3 <3 <3

All smiles under the autumn shining night... <3

This is what I love about Autumn...

It's dramatic way of expressing nature's love to humankind

leaves sweetly slowly changing their colors

colorful scene of green, yellow, orange and red

light breeze

cool weather

warm drinks

cozy outfits

scarves and mittens

the peacefulness it conveys...

Autumn indeed is the year's last loveliest SMILE!!! 

till next time...

Simple Thoughts

"Laugh, even when you feel too sick or too worn out or tired. 

Smile, even when you're trying not to cry and the tears are blurring your vision. 

Sing, even when people stare at you and tell you your voice is crappy. 

Trust, even when your heart begs you not to. 

Twirl, even when your mind makes no sense of what you see. 

Frolick, even when you are made fun of. 

Sleep, even when you're afraid of what the dreams might bring. 

Run, even when it feels like you can't run any more.

And, always, remember, even when the memories pinch your heart. 

Because the pain of all your experience is what makes you the person you are now. 

And without your experience---you are an empty page, a blank notebook, a missing lyric. 

What makes you brave is your willingness to live through your terrible life and hold your head up high the next day. So don't live life in fear. 

Because you are stronger now, after all the crap has happened, than you ever were back before it started." 

- Alysha Speer

just sharing these reminders to live life to the fullest.. ;)

~~ a walk to remember

It was my longest walk... 

a heavy heart

a blurred future

a probable heartache

Uncertainties keep on lingering...

I don't like to listen but my heart is curious...

we talked, 

I cried, 

we hugged...




there's hope! 



In God I trust...

happyness: a lifetime choice...

Life is a mystery...
smiles maybe worn to hide tears...
those who seem happy may be keeping in their hearts,
some pain so severe...

"Sometimes you have to be strong for yourself. You have to know that you're a good person and a good friend. What's meant to be will end up good and what's not - won't. Love is worth fighting for, but sometimes you can't be the only one fighting. At times, people need to fight for you. If they don't, you just have to move on and realize what you gave them was more than they were willing to give you. Hopefully, people realize great things when they come around and don't lose something real".

Always fight, until you can't anymore, and then be fought for.

just sharing these words i met online...
i guess i would be teaching myself to choose happiness instead...
i like to spell it happyness though...

till next time... 

ja ne ^_^

you must love me...

Where do we go from here?

This isn't where we intended to be.

We had it all 

You believed in me

I believed in you

Certainties disappear

What do we do for our dream to survive

How do we keep all our passions alive

As we used to do?

Deep in my heart I'm concealing

Things that I'm longing to say

Scared to confess what I'm feeling

Frightened you'll slip away

You must love me

You must love me

Why are you at my side?

How can I be any use to now?

Give me a chance and I'll let you see how

Nothing has changed.

Deep in my heart I'm concealing

Things that I'm longing to say

Scared to confess what I'm feeling

Frightened you'll slip away

You must love me

I am blaming my friend for posting this song in Facebook...

now i can't stop myself from listening...

never-ending loop in my playlist... 

never-ending thoughts... 

I am hoping I could at least get a little sleep... 

but wait... there's more... ;) 

here is the video clip from Evita...

you must love me song... ^^

never ever...

"Never assume that someone likes you by their sweetness.

 Sometimes, you are just an option when they are bored."

just sharing the quote that I encountered somewhere...

till next time

ja ne...

twenty-eight...

just an ordinary number...

a number that holds no meaning for some,

a very important one for others...

however for me, this number is:

a painful reminder...

a harsh truth...

a bleak future for me...

a melancholic episode of my life...

my choices served no value whenever

i am affronted with this essence... :(

till next time
