And now that we're about to bid goodbye to an awesome year, I decided to look back on how my 2011 went. Let me share with you the top 10 highlights of my eventful 2011 :)

2011: looking back and moving forward
2011 was all about travels, achievements, and of course, time with family. It happened quickly but it surely left me with so much memories, learning, and new found friends!

coexistence of love and friendship
"What if we become so comfortable that the love we feel for each other is not the romantic feeling anymore?"
I thought about this one night, and really asked baby boo the exact same question. It took me two mugs of beer to have the courage to speak my mind because I was afraid to be proven right. That moment, I didn't know what I wanted to hear from him, or what I wanted him to do in response to my query. He just held my hand, kissed it, and made the uncertainty fade away.
As I always say, more than a couple, Daryl and I are best friends. In five years that we've been together, we have developed a friendship which I know would last a lifetime. Beyond the kilig, what's more important is the assurance that whatever happens, or however things turn out, we have each other. Our relationship is indeed something. Yes, I am in love with my best friend.
We share about our individual mistakes, and we usually boast about our achievements for the day, but we don't judge. Bolahan days are gone, so everything's plain honesty. I say he's self-centered, he says I lack the drive. But, we don't hate; we appreciate. Many times before, I called him crying, breaking down over the phone. But he does not comfort; he makes me realize things.
We watch a movie together, but don't get all cuddly anymore. We laugh, cry, and critic together. And the best part of watching a movie with him? I get free hand and foot massage! :)))
We dine out, and just eat and eat all we want. I don't mind if I eat more than he does, sometimes :p We share expenses, and I'm not shy to ask 50 pesos from him because I have no cash on hand and I need to replenish my tic-tac supply. Plus, I get to keep the change. Hehe
I can say he's baduy, and he can say I look like a farmer. But we won't change outfits.
I can keep citing instances but I guess you get my point already. I wouldn't have thought about the question above if I didn't realize how comfortable we already are with each other. It wasn't alarming, really. I just usually over think. Or maybe because we spend more time building our own careers as of now.
At our present stage, I don't demand (that much anymore) for time, nor does he. In effect, we cherish the 15-minute meet ups or the 1-hour lunch or dinner dates more than ever. Perhaps it's the maturity that we learned to acquire through time. But whatever, I'm happy with how our relationship evolved.
We were purely batch mates back in high school, but we developed a friendship as we were getting to know each other deeper.
Don't get me wrong. I love my boyfriend, but I am in love with my best friend :)
Love and friendship co-exist, and I call it the "baby boo relationship" <3

it's the time of the year
Is it mere coincidence? Or is it really meant to happen every freakin' year?!
I am secured now more than ever but I can't help not to worry, not to be bothered, and not picture scenes in my mind. But unlike before, I am not doing anything about it this time. Atleast not directly to you. I learned from last year.
I'll keep quiet, stay strong, and tighten what we have right now. I won't lose it. Never.
Walang panghihinayang. No pressures, even. Just faith, trust, and love. And these keep us together,stuck with each other.
Why am i blogging this? So that when I feel insecure, jealous, or paranoid, I will read this post and be reminded of my position and my stand in the situation.
WE ARE STRONGER THAN YOU THINK. I AM STRONGER THAN WHAT I THINK.

thoughts on LOVE, etc.
I love how this piece was written: the characters individually speaking and sharing what's on their minds to the reader. More than love, it talks about life, and how and what different kinds of individuals make out of their existence. It definitely is a good read!

of celebrating life and love
It is true that on the wedding day, the bride and the groom are the loveliest! Never mind the kabogera guests. HAHA! Family, and friends gathered for that one special day for Mr. and Mrs. Arvie Villanueva <3

Palawan getaway
It's the time of the year when Daddy is granted with his leave --- July, my birth month! :) So, every July, we plan an out-of-town trip and really try to stick with it. Two years ago, I celebrated my birthday in Bantayan, Cebu. This year, we went earlier (July 15-17), but I still consider it as my birthday getaway. Haha!
The trip was a battle between Bohol and Palawan. We asked our friends and relatives who have already been to both or to just one and all of them voted for Palawan. But of course, Bohol is still on our list, definitely :)

these are the moments, these are the times
This is just another day when I ask myself, "what should I do?" instead of, "what should I be doing?" It may sound the same, but really, they are two different thoughts.
It's a happy morning turned to a frustrating afternoon. I surfed the internet, watched a movie, and then what?
I don't know really. Maybe I feel alone? Yes, although Twiggy, Lola Dear, and Ate Mercy are all here at the house. Yes, because I woke up alone, then ate breakfast and lunch all by myself. Or perhaps, I feel this way (I don't exactly know how or what) because I have nothing left to do for the day. Or because I really don't know what I wanna do.
I believe the world has so much to offer and I'm just not exerting enough effort to see, hear, or feel. Or it is me who has a lot to offer to the world but I'm just not exerting enough effort to be seen, heard, or felt.

these are the times
Let's make the best out of our lives"
