Coffee with Kimmy

🎶    Never in my life have I been more sure. You're everything I wanted..and more.  🎶 Good morning my fellow earthlings. Let's have coffee and I'll tell you everything about this recent book I've read and how I decided that it is one of the greatest books I've read in my whole damn life. Kiss an Angel: A Review If I remember it correctly, this will be my third or fourth time to review a book. As I've told you before, I am a hard-core book lover. However, I haven't had much time to read before, let alone to blog about those I've read. My favorite genre? Romance novels with hot capable alpha men as heroes and sweet loving women as heroins.  During my Bar Review, I totally cut ties with the books and novels I had. I know, I know, I could have had time to read a book or two but honey...I'm smart enough to know that once I start reading, I'll never stop. So, I decided to temporarily put an end to the one th...

"What a loss to spend that much time with someone, only to find out that she's a stranger." You know what? I feel like my last blog about Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless mind was kinda off. I kinda shifted from the topic of how I feel about the movie to how I feel about the heroine.  So now, I'm giving myself another chance hahahaha. Here are the things I like about this movie: 1. The sequence was oh sooo good and was brilliantly presented. So yeah in the first few scenes, the lead actors were introduced, the foundations were laid down. However, after 15 minutes or so, a scene which was totally unrelated was shown which completely..... confused me. I was like "wuuuuut the hell?' So I just went on with it and continued watching. It actually caught my attention and starting then, I got so into the movie.  2. The scenarios were very relatable. Especially for those who are into or had been to a long term relationship. One scene which I t...

"By morning, you'll be gone." I'm not really good at doing this and I'm not gonna pretend that I'm good at giving reviews on movies but fuck it if I won't make a blog about this one. I just finished watching a movie entitled Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Honestly, I'm feeling a lot of things right now. Sadness, love, loneliness, hate and a whole lot more.  Different and honest. For me, these are the words that perfectly describes this movie. It's different in the sense that it's not your typical girl-meets-boy-they-live-happily-ever-after kind of movie. It shows what happens in real life. That's why I also think that it's a very honest movie. Well, the story is fictional, yeah, but the message that it was trying to relay is as real as you will ever get.  Woah. Really. I'm still trying to process everything until now. Maybe..it's just that I can relate to the heroine in so many ways. To give you an id...

I made this roughly about two years ago. That time, I was passing through what I can call, by far, the darkest point in my life. Hallelujah! Everything got better. So yeah I'm posting this now here to let everyone know that no matter how dark it is today, everything's eventually gonna get better and brighter and lighter. Everything's gonna be fine. Ugly Things Even though everything is painful and ugly now, I hope the answer is yes. Despite the harshness, the brutality and the monstrousness of the words, I hope you understand. Can you see right through me? Down to the very core? Do you accept this monster right in front of you?  I love you. This ugly beast loves you.

"Take a chance on me." These words are music to the ears. For a second there, it makes you feel so loved. It makes you think of things you haven't thought of in a while. Makes you dream of stuff you didn't even think you're capable of dreaming. It makes you remember things. It somehow reminds you of who you are or at least of who you were at a certain point in your life. "Take a chance on me." Don't you feel brave now? You suddenly feel like maybe you can take a chance on someone?  Just like that, you're not your old self anymore, you're not a shell with no insides anymore. Because just like that, you feel something.  And these days, feeling something is one heck of a deal to you because you are so used to feeling empty. There's that resounding voice inside of you..urging you to throw all your worries away, to leave all your uncertainties behind and just go for it. Take a chance on someone. Put your trust in him. "T...

🎶  I kissed a girl and I liked it The taste of her cherry chap stick I kissed a girl just to try it I hope my boyfriend don't mind it It felt so wrong It felt so right Don't mean I'm in love tonight I kissed a girl and I liked it I liked it   🎶 Naaah. I don't swing that way, dude. Come on. 😂😂😂 I'm as girlish and straight as they come. 😂😂😂 But yo. I have this girl crush right now and I'm craaaaaayzyyyyyy about her. Whew. This girl..this girl is sooooo freakin' funny and beautiful. Seriously. You hafta watch her videos on facebook so you get to see what I mean. Her name's Faiza Rammuny and I don't really know so much about her but based on the videos she's posting, I got these impressions: She's a muslim, she's a model?, she's conservative, she's funny, she's sweet, she's real, she's sooooo sexy, she's funny. Hey, did I already say she's funny? Oh well, she's funny. 😂😂😂 ...

I know it's cliche and I know it's a little bit cheesy... (okay a LOT cheesy) but really.... I'm THAT kind of aunt. I'm the cheesy kind of aunt. I'm the hands on kind of aunt aunt. I'm the trying hard kind of aunt. Call me whatever you want as long as it's synonymous to me being...the best freakin' aunt evaaaaaaah! HAHAHAHA! Kidding. Okay I'm not kidding. I'm the best freakin' aunt ever. That's me!!! Hahahahaha. Orayt going back... so yeah, I know it's cliche already and I know it's so cheesy but the girls right there in the pictures are MY LIFE. They're like my own daughters. They're my angels. They're everything to me. There's nothing I wouldn't do for them. See? So cheesy.  Anyway, they live in the US of A so we're kinda worlds apart but we communicate via Facetime so it's really like we're still together. Also, they visit and stay in the Philippines once a year for 2 months so it...

Okay. So, while we're enjoying this nice cozy weather we're having here in the metro and while we're having our hot coffee, let's talk about the latest awesome movie we have watched. Orayt, me first. Let me tell you that I'm not really big on movies. I'm more of a book person. But in this entry, I wanna tell you about my love for this particular movie which I watched today and which totally had an impact on me. There are a lot of movies which are fun to watch but are forgettable. This one though, this one's downright hilarious but it's also full of life and love lessons. It's also very relatable. So the title of the film is "Along Came Polly" and it's starring Ben Stiller and Jennifer Aniston. The story is basically about a guy who got cheated on by his wife on the first day of their honeymoon. So yeah, he moved on and met this girl named Polly. Being an insurance analyst, Ben's character is very conservative with r...

I can’t wait to move on with my life after November. I feel like I just came from a frozen state which lasted for roughly about 5 years. I’m so excited. I feel so alive. You see, there are tons of things   which I put off for a very long time in order to give way to my law studies.  One month from now, I'll be free from this burden which has occupied my heart for a long time.  After November, I’ll be able to focus on money making. Me and my sister are planning to buy a new house somewhere in the province and relocate my family there. We'll develop our old house and turn it into a rental property. We're also planning on acquiring more real properties to be rented out. Then, I’ll get my own car and after that, my own place. We already have invested in various assets and we're so ready to welcome money in our life in all its form and glory. I can’t wait to wake up in the morning feeling fulfilled and happy. I’ll work on building a life that is stress f...

So. this week, I started doing yoga at the very comfort of my home. Recently, I've hated going out to do stuff. I know it’s a complete 360 for me because I used to do almost everything away from home hahahaha but now, I’m this person who would give up her left tit just so she won’t get to go outside. I thought about trying out Hatha yoga. Hatha yoga is a kind of yoga which is gentle, slow-paced and focused on controlled breathing and holding poses for a short time. My primordial consideration for engaging in this kind of activity is that it is not only physical in nature but also mental and spiritual. It’s majorly about the alignment of your body, mind and spirit and all about taking everything slow, appreciating the present and not worrying about all other things. I’m into a lot of stress lately. I’m practically freakin’ out and in a mood almost everyday.  So yeah, it’s safe to say that I needed yoga so badly.  So one morning, I just decided to buy a pink...

Hearing the sound of my sister’s motorcycle as she goes off to work. It reminds me that she has a stable and noble job. That I wouldn’t need to worry about her future.  The chirping of the birds. We own love birds and every morning, they never fail to exhibit how beautiful they can sing. Oh, I so love the sound they make.  Delicious silence. Well, yeah, not only in the morning but all throughout the day. As I grow older, I fall more deeply in love with silence. Especially in the morning, silence and hearing nothing but the sound of nature deeply calms my soul. The smell and taste of freshly brewed coffee. Need I say more? 😁

So, here I am, sitting in front of my macbook early in the morning, the rain is falling hard, the temperature’s really low, I had a long and deep sleep and I’ve got a cuppa hot coffee beside me.  Isn’t this heaven? I mean..it can be just an ordinary and inconsequential occurrence for other people but to me.. this is my definition of heaven. How many people on earth ever get an opportunity like this? I’m young, I’m about to become a lawyer, some say I’m pretty, I’ve got my lovely family beside me, I have good friends, my family’s healthy, we have our own lovely home where we get to spend a lot of time together and we’re planning to acquire more real and personal properties soon, I have three dogs, two shih tzus and one aspin, all of them are so cute, cuddly and lovable.  I mean…yeah, there are flaws in this life I’m living but the question is, do they really matter? So what if we don’t live in a mansion and my family just have enough to get by everyday? So ...

So maybe, when it's all not so fucked up, I'll be able to breathe freely. Maybe when my world is not as dark as it is now,  I'll understand. Deep within this vast black hole in my heart, deep within the void, maybe there's still hope. Maybe you can still save me. Maybe when it's all not so fucked up anymore,  I will want to be saved too. And behind all the maybe's I just let out...there's a part of me begging the universe to turn the uncertainties and falsities into certainties and truths. Be still, my heart. Be still.

Just now, I read this article in "Preach It" page in Facebook. It's about the love which a person truly deserves. For me, the words are just too perfect and not posting it here in my blog is an offense to mankind. So...here it goes. The love you deserve will not send you mixed signals. Love will not take you out to dinner and have nice conversations with you ’til 5 AM only to send you home alone and never talk to you again. Love will not ignite false hopes, instead love will plant truthful hope and will commit to it. Love will not tell you bogus promises, instead love will do things you won’t even expect. Love will be clear and it won’t leave you wondering in confusion. The love you deserve will not be hurtful at all. Love will not leave you with scars or trauma. Love will not call you names. Love will not treat you like a piece of crap. Love will not be immature and childish. Love will not leave you crying yourself to sleep, feeling sorry about your...

I just read a book entitled "The Law of Moses" and in that book, the heroine names five greats everyday (*five greats= five best things that happened/she had). The purpose of the drill is for her to realize how blessed she is everyday and to remind her that no matter how shitty the day is, there are good things that happened so she still has to be grateful. I'm going to try naming five of my greats every day. So for today, here's my greats so far:  1. Sweet smile 2. old wooden tables and chairs 3. trees 4. rustic fence 5. ice cream To be honest, when I think of greats, I think of tons of things. Five isn't enough for all the good things that happens everyday. I thank God for giving me so much blessing everyday but sometimes, I forget to count them and to appreciate them. So through this drill, hopefully, I and you guys will realize how blessed we are and how lucky we are to be given a chance to live in this beautiful world. ...

And then, there are times like this.. when you feel like you're a princess in a fairytale story.  when you gravely want to believe that the prince and his version of 'happily ever after' is real. when you you're not scared to try again. when you're willing to take the risk. when you smile without reservations. when things suddenly become a little more colorful than ever.

Ohhhhh my heart. My poor poor heart. Can I get any happier than this? Maybe, yes?.... Universe, please say yes!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ The Way I Am | Ingrid Michaelson If you were falling, then I would catch you. You need a light, I'd find a match. Cause I love the way you say good morning. And you take me the way I am. If you are chilly, here take my sweater. Your head is aching, I'll make it better. Cause I love the way you call me baby. And you take me the way I am. I'd buy you Rogaine when you start losing all your hair. Sew on patches to all you tear. Cause I love you more than I could ever promise. And you take me the way I am. You take me the way I am. You take me the way I am.

Sometimes the cigarette burned for seven minutes. Other times, nine or ten.One thing that never changed, no matter how long the cigarette lasted, was how my shattered heart still found ways to break into even smaller pieces.

Novels are my life. They're my addiction. They're my go-to-bestfriends. You can just leave me with nothing but food, water, shelter and thousands and millions of novels and I'll live the happiest girl in the whole wide world. Or you can just leave me with nothing but books and I could die out of dehydration, starvation or cold but I'll still die the happiest woman on earth. No, no, no. I don't think you understand even a fraction of my addiction for reading novels. You see, reality is a bitch so whenever life hits me hard, with the speed it will take to bat an eyelash, I come running back to the greatest love of my life: novels. Of all the novels I've read though, for the longest time now, my favorite has been 'The Degradation Series' of Stylo Fantome. I can't tell you anything about my love for this series in this blog entry because there's just so many things to say and this entry is not about my love for Fantome but for another author...
