Dearest Mommy

I would like to spend a day,
sitting beside you on your bed.
We can watch TV or just sleep
together. We don't need to speak
or even touch. All I need
is some time to be
with you, here and now.
I'll tell you about how
there was a boy and now
there's a girl I fell in love
with. She's tiny and beautiful
and someone I know you
already love without
even meeting. I wish you
were here for even just a few
quiet moments. To make up
for the days we've lost
and for the years that I'm scared
will be forgotten.
I hope you know that
every day you are missed.

Photo Diary: Coron, Palawan

I can't believe I did not write anything here in April. So much for promising to document as much as I can on this silly little blog.

I also can't believe that we're already five months into 2013. How is it possible that a third of the year has come and gone that quickly?

Just as April was ending, I took a week off from work to fly to Palawan. It was my first time on the island of Coron and I was not disappointed. Here are just a few photos from the wonderful trip that signals the start of summer for me.

It will be so hard to get out of bed tomorrow morning after a 7-day weekend. Haha!

He could be that boy,
but I'm not that girl

Hoping for a good summer. The first three months of 2013 have been fun, interesting, and generally alright. But I really need more of constants in my life. Here's hoping the rest of the year gives that to me.

Songs I Like: "Falling Out Of Reach" by Guillemots

Slow down, slow down 
You'll only get burnt out 
Calm down, calm down
You getting so worn out

Think Of This Song As A Promise

Music Monday

{ From a year ago: YouTube Presents Jason Mraz Live from NYC }

The best thing about seeing him live is his unbelievably good adlibbing (is this even a word, sorry haha). I'm seeing him again in May and I cannot wait!

{ Banana Pecan Pancake, Breakfast at Antonio's }

Still thinking about this fluffy stack of pancakes from a shoot two weeks ago. Wish I could go back for them and a cup of hot cocoa with a giant marshmallow on top.

{ Saturday morning mess }

I haven't been making anything lately, but yesterday, after a tiring and stressful week, I just had to do something crafty. Haven't used the nib I got from Alessa's workshop a couple of weeks ago because I don't have a desk in my room. But I made do with my bedroom floor. Waited for the ink to dry before painting over it with watercolor. Planning to buy a frame to put this in to give to my best friend. Her daughter just turned 3 months on her 30th birthday. (: The words are from one of my favorite John Mayer songs.
