Meet Unica

Unica is my nephew's daughter, the truth which sometimes makes other wonder, considering that I'm 32 years old and  still single yet I already do have a grandchild. Yup, this one year old cutie is my grandchild and godchild at the same time. So what she's supposed to call me then, 'lola' (grandma) or 'ninang' (godmother), I think 'mamu' is better and safer lol. To explain things, my 'ate' (older sister) is 12 years older than me and got married at a young age, I am just 6 years old when she had her first baby, that's why at the age of 31 I'm already a 'lola' and next year I'll have two 'apo' (grandchild) already.
The last time we've seen this cutie was about 6 months ago and today they made an unexpected visit. Everyone got excited that they grabbed their cameras and cellphones each taking a shot of her. She's our little celebrity and she's smart enough for her age, she can't talk yet but responds to questions through hand gestures. She walks pretty well for her age and likes to walk on her own. A papa's girl, she imitates almost everything her papa does like chuckling.

We just can't get enough of her and couldn't wait for their next visit. Here are two of the pics taken. Cute and lovable, isn't she? See you on Christmas yuni...

About Me

You can call me lynne, rovee, rov or vee or whatever you like, you can even call me by my first name, rovelyn. But I am jhean, chek and betcha to my family, relatives and childhood friends...

I was born and raised in the city of Olongapo, specifically in the street of Cabling Lane in Sta. Rita. It is where I played patintero, otso, shato, bahay-bahayan, habulan, taguan and other local games with my childhood friends. It is also the street where I learned to ride a bike. Where, according to elders including my parents, I danced to the tune of body language (I wonder how I was able to do that then lol). I am proud that I belong to the once happy and united community of Cabling Lane where in we do raised funds for Christmas party by caroling. Those were the days, my childhood and most of my life; it is where my heart is and will always be…

I’m a loyal graduate of St. Joseph (now known as St. Joseph College), where I learned responsibility, values of education and life and how to respect others. It is the foundation of my knowledge and education. It forms and instils in me the values, morals and characters first taught by my parents. What you see and knew of me is mostly influenced by my 10 years in the institution and I am one of the many proud alumni of our alma mater…

I have endured another five years of study in Polytechnic University of the Philippines in Maragondon, Cavite with the degree of Electronics and Communications Engineering. The university earned me a degree but most importantly the good friends, the best friends and memories I have during my study. We (tropa) been through a lot… from projects (power supply to amplifier), cheating (uh-oh let’s just call it sharing lol), skipping class (just one time with the PE subject), craziness (remember the baraha boys, bakod boys and the most talked about light in the gym broken by the boys haha) and of course the concern, friendship and respect for each other, time may pass but the friendship will remain…

I’ve been an ex-ofw from Taiwan, worked as a quality control inspector and test operator for two years. I’ve learned to live independently, hundred miles away from my family in a foreign land…

One may see me as snobbish or silent because I don’t usually talk especially to strangers, but I can be a true friend who will stand by your side no matter what ‘if’ you’re true to me too…

I sometimes easily got angry but the anger subsides faster than anyone could do. I don’t hold grudges against anyone. And I hate myself for being like this coz others are taking advantage of it…

I love my family and friends; I put them on top of my list instead of myself, I can fight for them but I can’t do it for myself…

I loved truly that’s why I hurt deeply. I know how to hold on so don’t give me false belief coz when I loved I trust with all my heart, but I also know when to let go so just say it straight in front of me. I rather hurt myself than hurt the person I love (does martyrs always get shot? Ha-ha)…

I am afraid of heights till now (in my years of residence in Maragondon I haven't tried to cross the hanging bridge going to Pinagsanjan lol) and usually got dizzy during trips when I was a child but I feel much comfortable riding an airplane, I don’t know but I actually felt nothing during the flight, it’s as if I’m just sitting above the clouds…

I don’t like cigarette smokes, it gives me a hard time breathing, but don’t get me wrong I don’t have an asthma. So, don’t smoke and blow it in front of me, I’m not going to say anything about it but for sure I’m not going to like it…

I’m not a smoker, neither drinks an alcohol but sometimes I do drink when asks by friends but not that much. I haven’t experienced getting drunk yet and have no intention to do so…

I like guys who smells good, not those who causes my nose to itch, a subtle masculine scent will do, love the scent of Hugo Energize, Issey Miyake, Boss in Motion, Cool Water and Black Code. Men who smells good can really make my head turns…

Ever since high school, my favorite scent is Angel’s Breath. I sure use other brand of colognes but usually get back to the old one. It’s just so good that I thought I smell like a baby lol. Right now, I added Light Blue by D&G to my list, been using it alternately…

Let Love Finds You Again

What will you do if the person you learn to
love and trust so much unexpectedly leaves you?

Sometimes in our life there's this one person who will come our way and will touch our heart and life in a different way. But what will you do if that same person who before is the reason of your happiness suddenly becomes the reason of your pain? Would you still hold on to what you're feeling for him even though he doesn't loves you the way he used to? Or will you just move on and leave everything to what will happen in the future? How would you trust again if after all those years of waiting for love to come your way, the one person you finally trust your heart with is the same person who breaks it?
Moving on, forgetting someone and leaving memories behind is not as easy as it may seems as we always say to a friend that is hurting so much. No matter how much we comfort a friend, after all the nice talks, still there's this time in a day that the pain will be felt again. It's true that there's so many fish in the ocean for you to hold on to that person who already said goodbye. But what would you do if in spite of all the fishes jumping in front of you, you still want that one fish that goes out of your hand? There would always be someone better that will come our way, but what happens when that person just pass us by because we can't perceive it that way. Do we fail to see it or we just don't want to? Crazy as it may seem but that is what love can do to us.
Getting over a heartbreak doesn't happen in a day, in a week, in a month and sometimes even in a year depending on how much you love the person and how much you hold on to what you used to have. But despite of all the pain, hurt and tears we should remember that life doesn't stop there. Everything doesn't end when somebody leaves. When a door closes another will open. Even though you still want to come in that closed door you may also want to step in the other door to see what it may offer. But after all the tries of moving on and getting over it, you still fail, stop from there before you hurt someone unintentionally. In time, someone will surely come and touch your heart again. Be thankful of what once had been yours. For now, live your life as you've done before and let love finds you again.
