Maybe- Just Maybe, I Want To Be Cinderella

9:20 AM by Subtle_Hints · 0 comments



 



I'm not really such a big fan of Cinderella. Among all Disney Princesses, she's definitely not high on my list of favorite characters. But today at exactly 1:04 am (Philippine time), I realized that maybe, just maybe, I want to be Cinderella. I want to have one magical night. One night where I can be whoever I want to be. One night that would last me a lifetime. One dance, one encounter, with my one true love.
I can list the reasons why I'm not a big fan of Cinderella, but sometimes, hers is  a story that every other girl dreams about. Freedom to be whoever you are. Courage to go and make your dreams come true. A chance encounter that can alter ones life.

We all want to be held by the arms of the prince we've dreamed about. To look deep into their eyes and realized that they too have been waiting to have this dance with us. And yet, even when the clock strikes twelve and we ran away from them, they chase after us, not wanting to let us go.


So no matter how much I deny it, deep in my heart there is a little girl that wants her Cinderella story too.


"She believed in dreams, all right, but she also believed in doing something about them.   When Prince Charming didn't come along, she went over to the palace and got him."   
  Walt Disney, speaking of Cinderella in 1949."

Post-Christmas Treat

4:06 AM by Subtle_Hints · 0 comments

Christmas may be one of the best holiday every year. Not because of the presents, nor the food (but yes, they are part of the reasons why Christmas is special ^__^) But it is the time where family and friends get together, spend time with each other without the hurrying to get through the day. And most specially it is the time to celebrate and give thanks to God for giving his Son- Jesus Christ to all of us. :)

I just wanna share how Christmas was for us. It was a quiet and sweet occasion for me and my parents while my sister- who is currently in Dubai, went out to dinner with my cousin and her friend. Since there will never be a white Christmas here in the Philippines, we decided to have our version of a white Christmas through desserts :)

Almost all of our food were white.
Including this very delicious-looking cake :)


 Christmas went by with us chilling out at home with family, eating, watching movies that we never got to see  before the holidays because we've all been really busy, then eating (yet again, hmm no wonder my pants are getting tighter!).

The day after Christmas, I spent it with my very best friends. My friend who is currently working at Cebu, went over here in Davao to spend the holidays. I  never knew how much I missed her till I saw her and we were talking (as if not a day had gone by without us seeing each other), till my throat had gone dry. :)

It's great to spend Christmas with friends that you know you can completely be yourself and don't have to pretend someone you're not. It was great catching up with you girls (and guys). I know I'll never forget Christmas '09. :)


And today, two days after Christmas, one of my friends told me (actually she sent me a message) one of the best news I ever heard this year. ^__^ She said that she saw the first book of Mortal Instruments- City of Bones, at the mall! It was the only book missing from my collection of the trilogy and I've been trying to get a copy of one for what feels like an eternity.

You cannot believe how fast I was able to dress up and go to the mall. I nearly flew just to get there as fast as I can! Imagine, I was able to get dress in less than 3minutes! That really should be a record for me :) then I arrived at the mall in less than five. I don't even remember what I did to be that fast! I guess my obsession over Jace Wayland can overcome any obstacles! LOL!!

But then again, who wouldn't be obsessed with the sexy and dangerous Jace Wayland? ^_~

And so, today, I officially have the complete trilogy of Mortal Instruments :)


So all in all, it was indeed a very merry Christmas for me, my family and my friends ^__^

Watching Tinkerbell hours before Christmas

7:54 AM by Subtle_Hints · 0 comments

"All you need is trust and a little bit of pixie dust!"


It was TinkerBell who taught me that a little faith and a bit of pixie dust will enable me to fly. :)

Yes, I know it was Peterpan who said those lines, but it was Tink who really made me believe in them. ^__^ I used to love watching Peterpan when I was still a child. I remember being annoyed with tinkerbell whenever she feels jealous of Wendy. But now that I'm more mature, I realized how lovely Tink's character is. She's impatient, hardheaded, proud of herself - characteristics which can easily be associated with a girl. :)

So now, hours away from Christmas, I decided to treat myself with a 3D animated film featuring TinkerBell. 




Look how the animation has improved! ^__^

I'm always happy to watch Disney films, specially when it's a classic. It makes me feel like a child again. So this Christmas, I feel rejuvenated and inspired. This film made me remember to have faith in yourself, and in your friends. ^__^

That's it for tonight! (It's evening here in the Philippines and not to mention 10min away from Christmas!) I leave you with an excerpt from the lyrics of Gift of A Friend- TinkerBell and the Lost Treasure OST

The World Comes To Life
and Everything's Alright
From Beginning To End
When You Have a Friend
By Your Side

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!

Hugs and Kisses for Christmas

7:53 AM by Subtle_Hints · 2 comments

I've been moving from one blog after another not knowing where I really want to direct my effort. Then finally, upon reading my friend's blog- her armoire, I was inspired to create my own blog that shows my true self. A place where I can really voice out whatever is on my mind. Thus, Hugs and Kiss was created. Of course, the design is not entirely complete, but it'll have to do for now. ^_^



The Holidays are here!! I can feel it through the chill in the air, the soft sounds of Christmas carols, and of course, the busy streets and the crowded malls! I can't even enjoy window shopping anymore, because the people are pushing and shoving their way through sale items LOL! ^__^  But still, I really love the Holidays. I wish we celebrate Christmas everyday. I'm not even talking about the presents, but I really hope we'll remember God's gift to us- his Son, Jesus Christ, not just on Christmas day but every single day of our lives.







Hmm I've never had a White Christmas. But there's one person I always remember when I hear someone say "White Christmas". I remember Ikuta Toma. He's one of the most talented person I know. And I really wish to meet him someday. ^__^ When that day comes, I wonder if I'll ever get the courage to go up to him and ask him for his autograph? :)) I think I'll just faint and maybe die from heart attack! LOL!

Here's a video of Ikuta Toma singing..and dancing White Christmas. ^__^ The first video I've seen of him since Hana Kimi.


Hope you all would enjoy your Holidays! I'll be posting again on Christmas Day.^__^ Enjoy as I will enjoy mine! ^^
