Bb. Magpapalayok

         "Ang ganda naman ng ngiti mo",

      This is what someone has told me yesterday when I got home. After a week’s hospital duty at JOse Reyes, I went out to watch a movie. Because of the 3-day sale at SM, I managed to escape from my groupmates who wanted me to go with them to watch " Ang Cute ng Ina Mo". hahaha!

      I would never exchange a movie such as Miss Potter to a such  shallow movie. All through out the movie, I have been brought to a different dimension. I’ve laughed..i’ve cried… I’ve been relaxed…I’ve been isnpired.. and i’ve been alone inside the movie house!!! Everyone else was watching "Ang Cute ng Ina Mo". I always watch movies by myself but this was my first time to be entirely alone inside the movie house.

     I could easily put myself on Ms. Potter’s shoes. We have same size and taste indeed:) I consider myself her Filipino counterpart in so many ways. So that makes  me Binibing Magpapalayok!:) hahaha

     I have so much passion on gazing and appreciating the beauty of nature. It really inspires and relaxes me. I also carry my journal and pen as I make the most of my time with such a beautiful blessing.

    Sometimes I also make sketches of them. But Ms. Potter’s works were way way better mine. I’m not an artist myself. But I do paint watercolor too!:) It’s just that my works do not have the "aritst factor". haha! But I dont’ care.. i still draw and paint.

     I’m not a writer as well but I do love writing. When I was in my childhood years, I also love making stories about ants, bees, trees, dragonflies…etc. When I grew older, I shifted to inspirational stories and ideas. There came a day that I promised myself that I must have at least one work published before my time ends:)

    As Miss POtter’s counterpart, I also talk when I’m alone. And I am contended being alone though I could easily establish good relationships with those people around me. I guess I am a good candidate for being an old maid. I could be a happy, fulfilled and accomplished old maid!:)

     Except for the fact that i do love cross-stitching and crafts and that I enjoy classical musical while sitting on a rocking chair as I drink my tea, I think being single wouldn’t be a problem at all. There are so many things in life that we could do and enjoy and accomplish!

      But like Ms. Potter, I could also fall for someone. I just pray that if ever it will happen, that man wouldn’t die. A  Mr. Norman Warne indeed became a mere fairytale for her. I don’t need fairy tales. I live in reality! haha

      Being in love does pay a high price. The beautiful and exciting feeling of having butterflies in your stomach is very enchanting but is nothing but temporary. It’s truly more than enjoying the emotions that matters. It’s not the end of everything. As for me, being in love means responsibility.
