You can never expect a person to be nice to you when they've been pushed to the limit already. I may be mean at times but of course it comes from a good reason. I'm getting used now to people calling me harsh or badgirl. These names are supposedly for fun only but as they say, jokes are half-meant. Well, yes, maybe I am. But hey, tell you what, if being harsh would mean being honest/true and straightforward, then I'd love to be called harsh. This isn't something to be proud of, of course. I just don't care how bad and unforgiving I am in the eyes of the vast majority. What you see is what you get. What you see is genuine. Guess that's all that matters.

Fully charged for the first time in a long time. I must have snored so loud, I could tell. Surprisingly, I was able to finish loads of works today from the time I woke up. The effect of that long hours of sleep, obviously. Staying so late at night is absolutely a very bad habit. I should do something about this. Really. Surely, there has to be something to do with time management and a great deal of self-discipline regarding this. Talk about miracle! But well, yes. I know my priorities. I know exactly what has to be done. From now on, I should put a great deal of effort in all my actions.

For all the years that we've been attending mass on Sundays at Redemtorist Church, I've been wishing also that there would be a place wherein my family could go somewhere near it. So I don't have to impatiently wait and hail a taxi. Let alone pay the continued increase of fare! And now it looks like my prayer has finally been answered.

Abreeza Ayala Mall is situated just across the street facing the Redemtorist Church at the heart of Davao City. This elegant edifice is standing proudly along the highway of J.P Laurel Avenue making it accessible to the people. Its prestige evidently shown through the designer label stores whom undoubtedly have given confidence to them like Nine West, Esprit, Gap, Marks & Spencer, and the most famous Sarbucks Coffee Shop, to name a few. Each of which practically have chosen wisely their respective places in the mall. The existence of the Ayala Mall in Davao is another living proof of its continuing excellence and success for centuries. Now, davaoeños are about to become in full participation on its insistence. In fact, I am becoming increasingly aware of everyone's curiosity about how would it be like once the entire mall is already in full operation.

As for me and my family, the proximity of the church and the Ayala mall is quite a relief for us since we don't have to go farther to freely enjoy ourselves. So its gonna be Sunday family day, Redemtorist day and Abreeza day whole day. Not always, though.

April or May. Definitely isn't my most favorite time of the year. Coincidence or not, my unhealthiness always fall on either of these months. And for that reason, there are also postponements of plans and adjustments of activities that fell on the same dates my bad cough and fever occurred. But everything would end up just fine, eventually. In effect, I have come to realize that my client was right about what he said to me that these situations are reminders to stop and smell the roses. And this is one philosophy I want to live by.

"There will be a few times in your life when all your instincts will tell you to do something, something that defies logic, upsets your plans, and may seem crazy to others. When that happens, you do it. Listen to your instincts and ignore everything else. Ignore logic, ignore the odds, ignore the complications, and just go for it."
Remember When

"Sometimes it just happens - to the wrong people at the wrong time."
Whitney, My Love

"I used to be ashamed
And now I am proud.
The world once was black
And now it is bright.
I used to walk head bent
And now I stand up tall.
I used to have dreams
But now I have hope."
