One Roxas Triangle

December 23, 2011 / iamsupercarla / Leave a comment

I’ve always been so intrigued by this building. According to Wikipedia, it is the 15th tallest building in the Philippines. Each time I see it at night, it stands there with its classic elegance, quietly boasting, never humble, as if rubbing in my face what I’ve been missing all this time.

And I often wonder what it’s like to live in a place as posh and luxurious as this one. Maybe I’m just blowing it all off in massive disproportion in my head, maybe it’s not as good as I think it is. But still it would be nice to find out for myself.

Oh and did I mention that One Roxas Triangle is right across my workplace? I’d love to wake up at 7 in the morning, only to find out that even if I move at a snail’s pace, I’d still be early for work.

Ah, to dream big.

Aren’t we all?

Aren’t we all a little crazy on the inside? Random musings, it’s late and still in the office. I wonder if this will be the ending trend of 2011 or the beginning of 2012.

Secrets: The Blog That Changed My Life

December 18, 2011 / iamsupercarla / 4 Comments

Exaggerated? Not really. I mean it when I say PostSecret saved my life.

PostSecret was founded in 2005 by Frank Warren. He encouraged everyone to send a postcard — stylized, of course — and reveal a secret that you have never ever ever ever spoken of before. He uploads these postcards in his website, and soon enough, it has created an anonymous community of acceptance.

A few years after its launching, PostSecret teamed up with 1-800-suicide to help out the anonymous cries for help he usually receives in the mail.

I love this site. I completely, absolutely, love everything about this site. I also downloaded the app, and although there are quite a few non-secrets revealed there, I still love it.

This site made me feel that I am never alone in whatever I am going through. More than a couple of times, I have been able to relate to some of the secrets revealed there. The sharing is therapeutic; it’s almost like a breath of fresh air, just letting it out. I love this site for the fresh air.

Head over there and I guarantee, if you just let yourself feel and open up for a while, you’ll feel exactly like this.

What about you? What blog changed your life?

Too many mind

November 4, 2011February 2, 2015 / iamsupercarla / Leave a comment

So it’s6:30 in the evening and I’m still at work. I clearly recall spending at least 14 hours here yesterday. I hate it when that happens. It’s not that I don’t like showing dedication, but it’s mostly because I could have easily been doing something else. Working till the wee hours is not required of me but for some reason, lately, I’ve been doing what is not required of me.

Maybe it’s an escape. I’ve had too many things on my mind.

Sometimes, I feel like I’m always balancing everything. All the things I have to deal with, I have to maneuver just to keep my sanity. I’m not complaining; I know far more people have it much worse than me. But when I look at my things-on-my-mind, they all look so simple. They seem simple, uncomplicated. Yet, it still keeps me awake late at night and gives me startling mornings.

I need a real escape. Work just adds to the stuff I should not be over-thinking.

: Like he said, “Too many mind.”

Took some time alone

So there was this one day, August 14, when I had nothing to do. Dylan and I had lunch, but because he had to report to work by 2PM, he left almost immediately after eating. Instead of retreating to my apartment that is hotter than a brick oven, I decided to stroll around the mall and look at stuff I have no intentions of buying. Hahahaha.

I actually do have intentions. What I lack is the means. At least at that time.

And there were very interesting finds. Heading over to People R People, I saw the pumps I’ve been eyeing for a couple of weeks now on sale. Less than 1k, I tried it on and well…
