Hacked

Published by Justine

My blog got hacked a few weeks ago. A lot of changes were made, and I still haven’t really restored it back fully as how it was before the hacking took place. Everything’s still in the process of putting back the pieces together. It’s another year, another struggle to become a good blogger. As much as I don’t want to call it a struggle because I’ve always loved doing it and I’ve always looked forward to having an outlet online to pour out my thoughts, it still is. The problem is the moment I decide to delete my domains (I have about 4 or 5) I would just itch to blog. So it’s better if I had this. I won’t try to be such a good blogger anymore, any pressure on myself doesn’t always result positively. It’s not like I have avid readers who hang on to my every word, this domain purchase for a blog was really intended for more personal thoughts and less self-pimping out. I’ll continue to make writing a “therapy” as …

One Day Or Another

Last year’s journaling efforts weren’t successful. My dad bought me a 2012 Daily Moleskine for Christmas and I was so so so excited. I finally owned one and I wrote every day. For about the first 3 months. During the second month a very unfortunate thing happened that caused my Moleskine to get all wet and a few pages got smudged and unreadable. Still, I proceeded to write everyday, even just a little. Then I got busy with work, settling in Cebu, shifting my comfort zone to another comfort zone, changed my BlackBerry to an iPhone (finally) and a full page turned into a half page, turned into bullet points until a whole year passed by and I’ve only got until March will full pages, April dwindling down, almost stopped writing on May, and hardly had any pages filled on June.. until the year ended. It’s a bit disappointing really, because I had always expected myself to write for the rest of the year. That was one of my new year resolutions, dammit. But other …

Hello 2013!

I rang in the new year looking this happy and excited when the clock struck 12 and the balloons came down. I hope the rest of the year will be full of happiness and excitement just like this moment. I hope for balloons and unicorns to fall my way instead of dark clouds and sad rain. 2012 was a great year for me, here’s to 2013 stepping up its game! Love lots, Justine

Time Machine: Always a Cycle, Right?

Published by Justine

Found something I wrote about 6 years ago. Can’t believe I was able to write something like this, let alone still the feel the same way as I do up to now. Wow. The power of the time machine. Sometimes we can’t ever understand which state we’re in or what we’re feeling. Sometimes we never notice the weirdest things. Like when we’re spending so much time with this person and realizing we’re actually falling for them. Or for the fact that we think they’re falling for us too, but they might not be. So many things are deceiving. A single look can be deceiving. A single touch can be deceiving. Either way, we can never tell. We might be able to tell what is most subtle, through action, words or that occasional “glance” which makes your world stop for a nanosecond. But being able to decipher them is another different thing. I never really reflect on my past relationships because I’ve never really learned anything from them. The bigger picture, to say is that I …
