About Me

I am Rowena. I won't be posting any slumbook-type facts here. Instead I will tell you the less tangible side of me.

I am me. I like simple things such as the following:

• rainy nights
• warm soup
• bubbles
• silent dawns
• cats
• sincere smiles from passers-by
• rhythm
• old letters from friends
• nature
• taking pictures of rare moments, taking pictures of things that are important to me, taking pictures of the beauty of the world
• cartoons
• seafood
• sea breeze
• writing random thoughts
• daydreaming
• sharing wisdom
• dancing
• feeling the wind on my face
• clouds/cloudy days
• rainbow
• stars
• games, puzzles
• laughter
• true friends
• true love
• colors
• flowers
• ice cream, chocolate, cakes

Tuesdays are crappy days for me, while Thursdays are bliss.

According to the movie/book "Eat, Pray, Love", there is a word for everything and everyone. I have pondered long and hard about my word, and have found out that my word is "freedom". My spirit longs to be free. Since I was young, I had been my own prisoner. But now, I'm starting to unleash my wings in search for that freedom. In contrast, the word I despise the most is "desperation". Desperation causes people to do a lot of things they don't normally do - seek death, pursue violence, betray others, and so many other things.

I am constantly in awe of people who are living their destiny, who have fallen in love with their craft, and who have followed their passion. But what amazes me about these people is that by doing the things that they love, they somehow ingest a part of that enthusiasm within me. They are contagious! A short word for that is inspiration. But inspiration alone is not enough. That is why perhaps I am still stuck in life, because I had just stopped with inspiration, with not enough hard work.

I love exploring new things, new places, and making new friends. Unfortunately, I don't have enough opportunities nor time to pursue this. Or perhaps, I've let too many opportunities pass me by.

I believe in God but I'm not the religious type. I cannot boast about my faith being very strong, but it's there. I believe in Him and I trust Him that He will never leave me and that He will provide my needs. I also believe that He has already prepared my destiny and that He will take me there someday.
