Daniella’s 31-day Blog Challenge - Day 31: A photo of you today + 3good things that have happened in the past 31 days.

All is well that ends well. I made it this far with only a day missed! Yeah baby! Way to go! Haha! Though I'll never do this kind of thing again.. Well maybe.. But not too soon. I mean, this was stressful for me! Haha!

So.. Let's start with this final post in my 31-day blog challenge...

All smiles with puffy eyes.. I still am too sleepy.. I'm a walking dead all day today. :P well.. No worries. It's Halloween after all. Haha!

3 Good Things That Happened to me these past 31 days... Hmm. I don't think there's much... But I'm sure I can think of three.. Ok here we go:

3. Yesterday's CRM Halloween Party - that was my first Halloween party.. I mean it. Seriously. I've always dreamt of attending one so... It was so much fun on my part! :)

2. Tried two new artisanal coffee shops - well.. let's all remember that I bleed caffeine. And I love handcrafted bevs! :)

1. I finished this blog challenge - yey!! :)

Daniella’s 31-day Blog Challenge - Day 30: Something you don’t leave the house without

And what have I said about rejoicing..? Haha! I missed a day! This was supposed to be posted yesterday but... I slept for the night last night.. It was just a tiring week that's all. So yeah.. I'mma be posting this and the 31st tonight. :)

The one thing I don't leave the house is... I would say phone and wallet but.. I've tried leaving my house without those two.. So.. I would say... Clothes. :P

Seriously u never tried leaving the house without clothes! And I will never try to leave the house without it either! Never dreamt. Haha!

Daniella’s 31-day Blog Challenge - Day 29: Something you’ll never forget

Hmm.. Well this is hard. I'm very forgetful at times..yes, I'm sentimental.. But mostly forgetful really.. My Tito Obet told me one time that I have a very strong capability of blocking off memories, of burying them very deep down my subconscious.

Then again.. We all have the tendency to forget. That's prolly why I love jolting down in my journal and blogging.

Daniella’s 31-day Blog Challenge - Day 28: Places you want to travel

Seriously?.. I got 15 minutes to post! Yaaah!!!

Ok.. I'm a traveler.. And as much as I love to discuss how much I love traveling, I can't. Because time is very limited.

Of course I wanna travel the world! I mean, who doesn't..? But my top five are as follows:

5. Orlando, Florida - mainly because of WIZARDING WORLD OF HARRY POTTER!

4. London - before the bridge fall down... For me it's a place for royalty... And well.. I'm a queen. :P Maybe I need to have a tea with Queen Elizabeth herself.. Plus.. It's my love's birth place... Oh what I would do to live there with him..❤️

3. Italy - the home of culinary.. Well, I don't want to have a debate, just check out the history. I just feel like Italy is very rich in culture.. And such a beautiful place.

2. I would say Paris but... It's too mainstream. Well, of course I wanna go to Paris, thing is it's in my top 10.. Not 5.. So.. My number 2 would be a tie: Prague and Santorini. Such romantic places... I wanna fall inlove there.. Maybe Dan and I will meet in one of these two places and fall inlove with each other..❤️

1. Every corner of the Philippines. It's more fun in the Philippines. And of course I wanna check out all the beautiful places here in my country.

Sometimes I tend to wish I was born in one of these places (from top 5 to 2..) but.. I love my country so much that thinking about that makes me feel so guilty!

Daniella’s 31-day Blog Challenge - Day 27: Best advice you’ve ever got

Oh my freaking gosh!! All day long I thought it's the 26th day of the month! All my files in my work today had 26 as their date! Like WTF..?!! Haha!

Okay., so best advice I've ever got.. There aren't much actually.. In my group of friends.. I've always been the good advisor... Haha! No pun intended on that. And no, I'm not being narcissist nor conceited.. I really am the best advisor.

There's this one advice though.. That I'll never seem to forget.. I've learned it from my mentor in HS.. I cannot remember the exact wordings he used but, the thought retains.. It's about anger and hate. It went like this: “you do not hate the person who wronged you, you hate what that person did”. It's about not being able to feel hatred towards someone. He was pointing out that you cannot hate a human being.

I've brought that with me all throughout this years. Somehow that's the best advice I've ever got.

Daniella’s 31-day Blog Challenge - Day 26: Something that you could never get tired of doing

Hmm.. Now this is a tough one... I should've included this in my 20 Facts About Me post: I'm very easy to get fed up/tired of something. I don't know why.. Sometimes I'll want something very bad and when I got it, I'll realize that I don't really want it and I'll want something else. Very human. I know. That's why I hate humanity. Hahaha.

Oh.. After typing that.. I realize there's two things I can drop.. Listening to music and dreaming. :) yeah. That's it! The two things I can never get tired of doing! :)

Daniella’s 31-day Blog Challenge - Day 25: A habit that you wish youdidn’t have.

It's a not so secret, secret. Would I dare divulge it here?.. Nah. Don't think so...

So what would I discuss in this post then..? There's none but that one. It became a habit because you practically like doing it.. No matter what the consequences are anyway. If you wish you don't want it then, you'll stop doing it.

Daniella’s 31-day Blog Challenge - Day 24: Family

And yet again, I'm not prepared for this post. :P

I don't think I could do justice with this topic. I love my family so much that talking about them makes me so sentimental.

I grew up thinking my family is perfect. Well, I thought wrong. But I never love them less. My mama, my papa and my baby brother.. The three of them keeps me going through my everyday life. And then, there's my extended family... My lola, my lolo (wherever he is right now.. I know he's watching over me), my Tito Obet and my Ninong Rodel.. I grew up with them.. I was their precious little princess. :)

They're all my inspirations, my reason to live and my foundation.❤️

Daniella’s 31-day Blog Challenge - Day 23: What are you looking forward for?

What am I looking forward to right now..? There are a lot to look forward to in my life.. But right now.. I'm looking forward to this one date: December 29, 2014... The day I'll be able to hug and kiss my mother again.. After six long years. I kinda miss her to bits.. No scratch that.. I freaking miss her to bits!

But before that.. Ofcourse there's Halloween, Nanay's first death anniversary and of course December 25.. As how everybody else's describe it as the most wonderful time of the year.. My savior's day: Christmas 2014.. Which will be fun this year because I'll celebrate the season with my officemates!

Speaking of which.. I might wanna do my  list as early as now because I don't want Christmas rush... But we all know that as much as don't like it.. I'll still end up going with it. :P

Daniella’s 31-day Blog Challenge - Day 22: Friends

I can't believe I'm on my 22nd day and I never had a miss! Well done! But let's not rejoice... There're still 9 days left.. Who knows what might happen on the next 9 days..? :P

So anyways.. Let's begin with today's post. Friends? Huh. I don't keep much.. In this world that's full of (strangers..? Charaught! Haha) lies and betrayal... I've grown not to trust lots.

I've been a friendly little girl.. I used to be: “I'll kill for my friends” kind of friend.. But as I grew older... I've learned that not all of your "friends" deserve that kind of attitude.

There are different kind of friends... They said your friends are like angels that are God's gift to you.. Or that's how it goes.. Oh, here:

Maybe?.. Because we can't chose our family but we can chose who to be friends with. Yeah, yeah.. Let's not debate on this one.

So the different kind of friends in my book... There are those you call friends but just plain acquaintances.. I think these are the ones whom you go with because you don't have a choice.. Or these are the people you've been friends with before but time and distance got the best of it.. You once knew them so well but people change so.. You get the point. There are fake friends.. Oh trust me.. They exist.. And they're the worst. These are the people you thought cares for you but secretly puts you down. Of course you'll meet your true friends.. These are the friends for keeps! You'll entrust dark secrets and problems with them.. Sometimes they'll know you better than you know yourself.. And you just can't lie with these true friends. Lastly, your best friend. They said there should only be one. Tho, I don't agree. I only keep the best.. So I have more than one best friend. They're the only ones I keep close to my heart.❤️

Friends. It's fun to have them.. And as Gossip Girl had put it:

“As much as a BFF can make you go WTF there's no denying we would all be a little less rich without them.” - Gossip Girl.

I, thank you. :)

Daniella’s 31-day Blog Challenge - If you could wish for anything that would come true, what would it be?

Woah.. Tough question for today huh?.. Well, my wishes are all but for my personal gain... I'm selfish like that. :P

Would you believe that at this point in my life my wish is to have a lot of money?.. I wanna be rich so that I can fulfill all of my dreams.. So that my parents would not have to work. So that I can give them the best things that life has to offer. Call me materialistic or greedy or anything.. But I'm wishing for money. $_$

Daniella’s 31-day Blog Challenge - Day 20: Someone you see yourself being with in the future.

Him. That guy up there... Daniel Jacob Radcliffe. He's the only one I've envisioned to be with in the future.

This might be funny, crappy, and all that... But I tell you.. Dreams do come true.❤️

Daniella’s 31-day Blog Challenge - Day 19: Your Current Relationship Status

Woah. Haha! Like I was staring on my phone's screen for 5 minutes or so before I start typing that first word. :P

My current relationship status..? Well as I have mentioned on my 20 Facts About Me post.. I'm an NBSB. So technically I'm single, but my heart belongs to Daniel Radcliffe.❤️❤️❤️

Hahaha! And it's all about Dan (as always) over again. Hmm.. What is there to discuss anyway?... I'm single and I'm happy by the way.. Yeah, it exist, it's possible. I just, I don't feel the need to be labeled as someone else's "mine".. Of course I dreamt of my first date, first kiss and all the other firsts you can think of with “the one”.. It's just that he hasn't come yet. And I'm not into rushing things... I'm all for “delaying gratification”. And I do want to believe that God is writing my perfect love story. He'll come on the perfect time and place.. Serendipity. Because honestly right now?.. I'm not ready for a relationship. I don't like heart breaks... And the only way to be saved for that is to wait for someone who will have the capacity to break my heart into uncountable pieces but will know better and will never try to.

Daniella’s 31-day Blog Challenge - Day 18: What kind of person attracts you?

I would say: DANIEL RADCLIFFE... But its not quite fair.. Haha

Attracts me romantically or attracts me to be friends with them?.. Hmm.. There's a very thin line between those two.. Either way, let's discuss both.

I like a person who:

1. smells good. :) I have a thing for perfume.. Basically being neat = smelling good. Yeah that's first and foremost.
2. has a sense of humor, I'm not much of a talker so.. I like someone who knows how to initiate first talks and can keep a conversation going.
3. can listen. As I've said, I barely talk, but when I do, of course I want to be heard and listened to.
4. is not self-centered. And is sensitive enough to know that not everything is about him/her.
5. can crack and appreciates jokes (this belongs to the second one I guess)
6. somehow has same interest in mine. Not all though, I still believe that opposites attract (in terms of romance) but as friends, it's nice to have some same interests as what the old adage s\went: birds of the same feathers flock together, though not all the time.. I have friends whom I do not have same interests but surprisingly I got along with them well.
7. takes time and effort to understand and know me
8. makes time for me. I believe you always have time for everything. It's just a matter of priority.
9. accepts me for who I am. My messy emotional baggages, my mood, my attitude. I do not ever want to pretend for someone for me to be able to get along with them
10. can ALWAYS tell me the truth. Whom I can confide with things, who can confide with me... Confiding = TRUST. And I guess that sums it all.
11. knows and understands the words RESPECT (knows how to earn and return it) & DISCIPLINE.
12. is afraid to LOSE me. And therefore would do anything to keep me.

Yeah. That's it.

Daniella’s 31-day Blog Challenge - Day 17: What makes you different?

I do believe that each and every individual in this world has their own identity that makes them different. So what makes me different is that I am ME.

I love individuality. That makes us human.. And I think all of our differences is the main reason why God sent us into each other's lives.

I do not like comparisons... I think it's a waste of time.. And it's the root cause of envy.

But what really makes me different and stand out? I do not blend. I don't like something because it's in. I like it when I do really like it. I do not go with the crowd. Yeah. That probably is. :)

Daniella’s 31-day Blog Challenge - Day 16: Your Celebrity Crush

Ugh. Seriously..? I have planned a better post than this! But this day is kinda hectic and I don't know why!

Anyways.. Let's start with this!

DANIEL JACOB RADCLIFFE.

Everyone around me is aware of this. He is my forever.. He's my future lover and hubby..❤️❤️❤️ It's not about the fame, not even about his looks... I just love him to bits! I dreamt of waking up next to him.. Being melted with his look using those blue eyes.. Falling deeper inlove with him as he talk to me with his sexy Brit accent.. Gaaahd! His is the only surname that I want to be mine.

(I cannot find decent pics of others.. Dan's is the only one I have on my phone right now.. Will edit this post!)

Ian Joseph Somerhalder

That smoldering blue orbs.. that smexy smirk.. Those tone muscles.. They're to die for! Plus his compassion about nature and saving the world for the future generations... And his big heart for animals and all his fans... What is not to admire?.. He's just so perf! Oh and let's not even talk about his humor and his passionately romantic way to treat his girl! Anyone would die to be love by this man!

Christofer Drew Ingle

It's just love at first heard. ❤️ I just love his music! Well, frankly I loved his old music more.. But either way.. I love his voice! His artistic side and he is passionate with animals as well.

Joseph Cecil Marco

He's the only local celebrity that will make it to this list.. Haha! He's just freaking hot isn't he..? He portrays one of my dream fictional guy: Jared Dela Cruz.. But even before that, I have seen his cuteness and potential.. He's just a very fine sight to my eyes.. *.*

Daniel John Mark Luke O'Donoghue

Danie loves Danny!! Haha! Danny O'Donoghue of The Script. Well.. He's a total man whore.. But I love him like that.. Heartbreaker as he may seem... He has that voice that can make anyone's broken heart mended.

Edward Christopher Sheeran

“It takes no time to be nice, it takes more effort to be a prick.” -Ed Sheeran

Isn't he the nicest?.. His passion about music and his voice.. His big heart for his wonderful fandom.. It surpasses everything in this world.

Hmm.. That's that. The epic list of my celebrity crushes.. Please note that I'm not really that into celebs.. :P

Daniella’s 31-day Blog Challenge - Day 15: Favourite Food

I eat anything edible... I'm a great eater.. Okay that sounds quite wrong.. I mean food eater.. :P Om'gosh this is a prude place.. I am prude. Don't take it the wrong way.. LOL. And I'm a great cook too. I'll claim it! Haha!

One thing to bear in mind though: I don't like spicy foods. It's not that I won't anything spicy.. It's just I don't like it. There is a difference.

So I'm suppose to talk about my favourite food.. Well, I love SWEETS. Can't seem to live without it.

I love FRENCH MACARONS..♥
In cuisines, I love: Filipino, Italian and Mediterranean

But seriously though. I'm never a picky eater. :) 

Daniella’s 31-day Blog Challenge - Day 14: Book/s you love to read over and over again?

It's all about books huh? I remember a quote from my HS days that goes like this:

It was in a letter from a friend, in notebooks and all that... HS huh?.. Let's not go there.. Haha! So, there's only one book SERIES that I've read over and over again... Need I really have to say it? It's HARRY POTTER of course! I don't know.. I just love the Wizarding World damn too much...

I remember spending my summer time running around Hogwarts grounds, going with Harry, Ron and Hermione down on Hagrid's Hut.. And spending Christmas time in the Great Hall eating sumptuous foods...On a summer! What do you say to that? :) Oh Hogwarts, I miss thee!

Yeah well, I had quite a long summer vacations... Might be a bore to some but.. Those were the best summer I had.♥

Daniella’s 31-day Blog Challenge - Day 13: Favourite Childhood Book/s

There's not much really... I've told you I'm not reader before HARRY POTTER.. All my books when I was a child was that of fairy tales and just some random cartoon stories (The Flinstones, Raggedy Anne?) w/c I barely read, BTW. Though there's this one that stuck through with me... The story entitled, if I'm not mistaken that is.. "The Little Red Hen". Well basically it was about a red hen (like if it isn't too obvious?) with a beautiful garden and home.. The little red hen is very hard working... And s/he (because I'm not sure what the gender is) has a group of friends who are down-right L-A-Z-Y.. Basically the story's moral lesson is that good things come to those who work their asses off (pardon on that).

So that's it I guess.. I don't know if I can still find my copy of that book.. It's somewhere within the clutter of my old things that I can't bear to throw, but at the same time, I cannot touch. Too much memory in there. I might cry my eyeballs out because I've lost the girl with the big dreams. And I'm afraid to get her back anyway. So. Whatever!

Day 13 only asks about books.. But I have my favorite childhood stories.. W/c came from my mama (she used to narrate me some stories to put me to sleep). Some of those are: The legend of the Pineapple, Hansel and Gretel, Snow White and Cinderella. Oh my childhood, where art thou gone?

Daniella’s 31-day Blog Challenge - Day 12: Favourite Quote

Hmm.. There's a lot of quotes I love.. From books that I've read.. From movies and TV series that I've watched, from everywhere and anywhere.. Thing is right now, I can't seem to rack my thick skull with my favorite ones. I also love to play with words, so there are quotes that I made out of my inner feelings and thoughts, out of boredom and out of just being me.. 

Way, way back in my childhood days, I've read a quote from a book that I've forgotten the title:

“I love you, not for what you are, but for what I am when I am with you.”

“I love you, not only for what you have made of yourself, but for what you have made of me.”

I've been longing to say those words to someone who will say it back to me... But I haven't found him yet.

Ofcourse I will put some from Harry Potter series:

“It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live, remember that” -Albus Dumbledore

Excerpt From: Rowling, J K. “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone.” Scholastic, 1997-07-15T06:00:00+00:00. iBooks.

I remember writing Hagrid's word on my HS year book.

My self-made quote: “Don't ever try to understands me.. 'Cause you'll never be able to.”

Hihihi.. I guess that's all. :)

Daniella’s 31-day Blog Challenge - Day 11: Currently reading anything?

Yeah.. There's a lot actually... I'm currently reading 3 different genres of book:

1. The Mortal Instruments: City of Heavenly Fire - this is the 6th and last installment of the novel series The Mortal Instruments the story that introduced me to the world of Shadows/Nephilims written by Cassandra Clare... I started reading the first (City of Bones) last year.. And then this year, this last installment was published and I'm about to finish reading it. </3 I love this series because it brought all the fictional characters in one book

finishing a book is one of the loneliest feeling in this world. *triple </3*

2. Never Talk Back to a Gangster - I have actually read the Wattpad version of this.. But it's published already so...

3. Harry Potter - I've ran out of count on how many times I've read HP.. This time I'm reading it with an audio book .

Daniella’s 31-day Blog Challenge - Day 10: Your CURRENT Favourite10 Songs

Oh my gosh! Seriously..? Haha! I can't even.... Sheesh. There're a lot! How am I supposed to chose 10?.. This list might be bias because... I'm currently so INTO Ed Sheeran right now. 🎧❤️❤️❤️ *gushing* ☺️

Again.. In no particular order because.. Just because, it's my list! 😁

10. Sing - Ed Sheeran

09. Shirtsleeves - Ed Sheeran

08. Photograph - Ed Sheeran

07. Take it Back - Ed Sheeran

06. Thinking Out Loud - Ed Sheeran

05. Don't - Ed Sheeran

(Haha! I should've put Ed Sheeran's Multiply album!)

04. Under the Mistletoe - NeverShoutNever & Dia Frampton (because it's Christmas time!)

03. Really Don't Care - Demi Lovato

02. All About That Bass - Megan Trainor

01. Not a Bad Thing - Justin Timberlake

There.. Again, this is my CURRENT favorite song.. It was hard to choose just 10! Hahaha!

Music make my world go round! ❤️

Daniella’s 31-day Blog Challenge - Day 9: In the past month, what have you learned?

Hay! I almost forgot to post on my 9th day!! Hmm.. I think I'm gonna have to program a reminder in my awesome phone! 😄

So.. Getting on my 9th day challenge.. There's a question to be answered.. I think there's a lot of lessons I've learned on the month of September..

First, it's work related.. I figured that all is possible if you'll really give it your best shot. Working hard pays off. ☺️

But contradictory to that.. I learned that there are those  people who can get away so easily with the things that they did and didn't do.. And that's quite unfair.

I also learned that just because you're "friend" to someone doesn't mean you'll have to tolerate all their ways. Limitations.. One must know about that broad word.

And lastly, my heart learned something too.. Surprises really comes unexpectedly. I almost love surprises.. But then I realized that I don't. I don't even like it. And as a hard slap... My heart figures that there are a lot of things and people that are in the past for a reason.. There's a reason why he didn't made it to my present and why I'll refuse to have him on my future.

Lessons learned the hard way huh? 😉

Daniella’s 31-day Blog Challenge - Day 8: 10 Things You Want to Do

It's the 8th day of the 10th month of the year! I'm usually happy when it's the 8th month.. I love the number 8! I dunno what's with it exactly tho. Anyways.. Back to today's challenge.. 10 Things I Want To Do huh?... It's a bit vague.. Is it 10 Things I Want To Do right NOW, or 10 Things I Want To Do further in life?.. Hmmm..

Let's see both shall we..?

1. Go home.
2. Finish the book I'm currently reading till the end.
3. Bake some goodies!
4. Sleep.
5. Cook something amazingly delicious
6. Get done with my quota!
7. Decorate my cubicle
8. Finish all the pending tasks
9. Have a bubble bath
10. Have a soothing massage.

10 Things I Want To Do Further in My Life

Oh.. This is quite hard. Sheesh. I don't do plans you know?.. I don't keep a bucket list... I just.. Aiish! Let's just see where this goes :)

1. I want to fall in love.. I mean really fall in love.
2. I want to marry Daniel Jacob Radcliffe - yung tipong kahit isang gabi lang at i-divorce niya ko right after ok lang?.. I just want to be so close to him. Haha!

4. I want to hug and kiss my mother!

10. I want to kiss Daniel Radcliffe. ^.^ *smooch*

HAHAHA.. My crazy self and I! This is so annoying.. Please bear in mind that I did this the whole day in between my work.. So whatever! :P

Daniella’s 31-day Blog Challenge - Day 7: Where Do You Work?

Where do I work... I work in an office... Doing mostly.. Office works.. Haha! A lot has been bugging me about this... I do not brag what I do for a living.. Most probably because I do not feel the need to; but I'm quite proud where I am currently affiliated with... First and foremost because this is an international company, but mostly because of the the people I'm currently with... I feel like this is the extension of my college life that I never actually had. I love these people I'm currently with everyday... They make me smile, laugh and well.. Work. I think it is of foremost important that you get along with the people you work with everyday. I don't like everything in my workplace... TBH, I do not like my workplace itself!.. Oh the commuting going to and fro is hell. But I'm currently dealing with it... Dealing so hard with it.

So where do I work?.. I don't know why I want to keep it a mystery... I once said that I will not discuss it in here... That work is different from my personal life.. But why did I chose this to be part of my challenge?.. I don't exactly know either.

So anyways... I have a post discussing my work here in this blog... CLICK HERE.

There.. Currently I'm on my 8th month... I feel like it's been too long! Not because of boredom though... There's just this feeling of being need in here.. And I'm quite excelling... I love the feels.

Maybe I shall divulge where I'm actually affiliated..? Maybe, maybe NOT?.. Haha. Fine. My office is located in McKinley Hill, Taguig. The company?.. Abbott Nutrition International. ☺

UPDATE 10/8/2014

So this video was shared to the whole Abbott community today: http://mpprodiisftp.oneabbott.com/deployments/4000/5044/5330/7152/Presentation/default.htm

I'm not so sure if people outside the office will be able to watch that, but... Well, whatever.

"We're here at Abbott to make a difference, we're here to do our best because our work matters so much to so many. It changes lives. It helps people live not just longer, but better. It enables people to live the lives they imagined."
-Miles White, Chairman of the Board & Chief Executive Officer

Daniella’s 31-day Blog Challenge - Day 6: Your Favourite Way/s to SpendSome Down-time

Favorite Hobbies.. Hmm.. I am quite bothered between the Anerican and British English.. See "favourite" is British and "favorite" is American.. They're quite the same.. But not that the same.. Oh well.. Let's leave it to them!

Hahaha! So.. My favorite past time and hobbies... Simple list would go like this:

>sleeping

>eating

>baking

>cooking

>reading

>writing

>listening to music

There.. Down and done. But I don't do simple..

Quite frankly, I am but a boring person... I can spend a rest day at home sleep in through out the whole day inside my bedroom.. Leave the rest of the world.

If only its that simple.. Leaving the rest of the world. But it's not. No matter how eager you are to leave.. At the end of the day.. You'll end up.. Going back to reality.

I once questioned why people are running away from reality... Why, despite the fact that it's here around the corner.. People ran away from it.. Maybe because people don't settle from what is available.. We always found ourselves seeking what isn't here, wanting what we can never have... But I always get what I want.. So probably that's my best way to spend my down time.. Sweet escape from reality. :)

Daniella’s 31-day Blog Challenge - Day 5: What are you afraid of?

What am I afraid of..? I'm afraid of many things... Sometimes, being human makes me feel so vulnerable.. I don't like being hurt; but it's a part of life itself... I'm afraid of many parts of life.

When I was a child, I'm afraid of someone I love dying on me... I thought it'll be a whole lot easier to die on them.. But as I grew older, I've learned that I'm also afraid of the burden, of the pain I'll inflict on the people that I'll left behind. I'm not afraid of dying... I'm afraid of the process I'll undergo when I did. Last year, I lost my gramps... And my whole being was so numb when I saw him lying lifeless... I cannot do anything but cry.. That's the most human thing to do at the moment. And I was so afraid, not for myself though.. But for my grams, for my uncles, for their pain... I'm so afraid for the loss, because that's something I cannot take away. And then my biological grandmother died as well, I was so afraid for my mother... I'm afraid that she's in a far away place, I was afraid that I cannot do anything.

I'm afraid of something I cannot control, I guess we all are. I'm afraid of pain. Any kind of pain... I'm afraid of being hurt and my capacity to hurt others.

I'm afraid of being human.

Daniella’s 31-day Blog Challenge - Day 4: 20 Facts About Yourself

Oh my gosh!  I'm not prepared for this 4th day! Hahaha! This'll be so random.. :) Did you know that I've been actually planning to do this as a separate post?.. Well.. It never happened... Until now. HAHA! Let's begin!

1. I'm obsessed with the color PINK - anything and everything!

2. I'm a POTTERHEAD - I'm a witch! HAHA. Harry Potter is my childhood, my forever. #RefusingtoGrowUp

3. I loooove music - anytime, anywhere, depending on my mood, various artists and genres ♥

4. I do not drink any kind of soda - and no, it's not because I'm a trying hard for "healthy living", I never liked sodas since birth, and I don't know why.. I just don't like it! Some people find it weird... I find it amazing! :))

5. I'm an NBSB - I've never been into any kind of romantically inclined relationship; don't start asking why.. Why would you care anyway? :P but seriously though.. I don't do relationship.. I hate commitment.. It will take a DANIEL RADCLIFFE to make me compromise that. :)

6. I believe in "forever" - it's just a matter of how long; don't wait for elaboration... I don't know how to explain this one :P

7. I love to read good book/s or stories - I never knew I'm a reader until Potter :P

8. I'm a frustrated writer - would you ever guess this one?.. Haha! I love to write my thoughts down.. I love out-of-this-moment scenes.. I just, I dream to write a book.. A random book. :))

9. I love nature - I believe everyone on this planet should.

10. I love animals - Whether I'm a dog or a cat person is undefined. I love them both! I want a tiger or a panther as a pet :) And I'm so against animal cruelty. I once posted this on my instagram account

"I hope human beings will be more capable of love... #animalcruelty is such a degrading act. People who are engaged in abusive acts on animals are unworthy of being entitled as "human" and are such a shame on the human race. #stopanimalcruelty"

11. I hate being in the center of attention - I loath the limelight... Go ahead and take it.. I can shine without it. ;)

12. I'm easily irritated - with a lot of different things, especially if there's a lot of different things piling up, but its mostly amenable

13. I'm not "nice" - being nice is tiring.. And I don't do tiring things... And sometimes when you're nice.. You get abused. So.

14. I'm a queen of contradiction - sweet-snobber, hot&cold, in-betweens, I hate a lot of choices.. in short, bi-polar.. Haha! #Beware

15. I'm so moody - Like very moody..

16. I'm a hopeless romantic - I've dreamt of perfect a date, my perfect wedding, my perfect fairytale love story.

17. I'm a little girl in a lady's body - childish, reckless, playful ^__^v

18. I hate bad liars - I mean if you're going to lie... At least make it believable.

19. I believe that dreams do come true and everything happens for a reason - they do. :) Or at least I can make mine do.

20. I'm impulsive - I do whatever it is I that I feel like doing.. As bratty as it may sound... I always get what I want!

Daniella’s 31-day Blog Challenge - Day 3: Why Do You Blog?

Simply because I WANT TO. Haha! It's the 3rd of October and it's the 3rd day of my blog challenge! Yey! Hahaha! SO far so good huh?

So seriously, why do I blog?.. Well, I'm serious when I said because I want to... I started blogging nth years ago.. I always wanted a place for my thoughts and so I enjoyed this kind of hobby. The influence came from one of my cousin.. My sister Ate Meg... Her blog is the first ever blog I've read and her blog's title way back then was: "Ang Blog na Walang Nagbabasa". So I thought why not make my own?... I figure I don't need readers.. I just want to write. And that's the start of it.

My first ever blog was in Friendster that got deleted over time.. I'm still not over the loss of it.. </3 I wasn't able to save any of it! Same as my Multiply's... Why the hell do they need to do that?.. Hay! But life goes on... I might not able to save any of it but I have more to say or write rather... So I met blogger. :) Hopefully they blogger won't shut itself down.

My blog is my place for my "share-able" (if there such word), random, countless and sometimes out-of-this-world thoughts. Because all a girl need is a place where she can be heard, no matter how silent her sentiments are.

Daniella’s 31-day Blog Challenge - Day 2: Meaning of Your Blog Name

"a glimpse on the enchantress' labyrinthine sentiments..."

I will only discuss this blog's name... :) Hmm.. There's not much hidden meaning on this one... It's just my hobby to play with words and myself. :)

Hmm.. Let's just dissect it!

• a glimpse - well, i write with my heart but not wholly; i mean i don't actually divulge "secrets" in my blog because i still think this is a public domain.. i have my personal journal for private writing.
• on the enchantress' - that's me! ^_^/ hello! haha! enchantress because its some other term for witch/sorceress i am but a 100% witch! bwahahaha! BUT.. if you'll check on M-WD, the word enchantress is defined as: a very interesting or beautiful woman. I AM BEAUTIFUL :) every woman is :) so let's claim it! very interesting? Hmm.. Speak up people! i can't claim it myself, because there're times that i think i'm a boring person... :)
• labyrinthine - labyrinth-like; again if you'll check on M-WD it is defined as: something that is extremely complicated or difficult to understand, go figure! :)
• sentiments - oooOhh! SO these are my sentiments! HAHA! i'm guessing i have a LOT huh?.. :P

So there.. Day 2 is done! :)

Daniella’s 31-day Blog Challenge - Day 1: Introduction & Recent Photo

I am looking for an excuse to post blog daily.. And then I came across a lot of "Blog Challenges" so I thought "Why not make a version?" And here goes... Challenge Accepted! Why do it this month?.. Hmm... Because.. I want to. I'm not so sure if I'll be able to do this faithfully but I'm hoping to finish this.

October has the same days of my birth month.. So I kinda feel like owning it. Haha! But if you know me close enough, and by that I mean, REALLY CLOSE.. :P You'll know what it is with October and my fascination. ;P

Let me pretend that I have an audience who's currently reading this blog...

Hey YOU,

     Thanks for dropping by, if you happen to be curious about my life, or wanted to be closer to me.. Then I suggest you read on. :) This is the first (and most probably last) time I'll do this. I hope you can learn something new from me... But hey! Don't expect too much.. Haha! All these in here runs inside my thick skull and all will probably be bias in my views about anything and everything. No offense meant to anyone, I know how to accept criticism but I also know how to dodge them. :)

So yeah... Not too fond about intros and all. Keep loving life!

xx
-Danie

Happy 1st Day of the Month! :)

Challenge Accepted!
