I am the secret that you keep; MISS SCARLET.

The signal is subtle
We pass just close enough to touch
No questions, no answers
We know by now to say enough
With only simple words
With only subtle turns
The things we feel alone for one another

There is a secret that we keep
I won't sleep if you won't sleep
Because tonight may be the last chance we'll be given
We are compelled to do what we must do
We are compelled to do what we have been forbidden

So I won't sleep if you won't sleep tonight

doing what I love (well, sort of)

it's 2 weeks into my editorial internship at CATALOG Magazine, and well, i honestly wish i was doing more writing. but hey, i'm only an intern, and anything i can get, i'll take.

apart from the long-ass "bus-train-bus" ride, which starts at 8a.m. every weekday, it's tolerable, to say the least. i just keep telling myself, this is but a small step towards doing something i absolutely LOVE in the future. which is (surprising, as i've realised recently) maybe being a fitness blogger.

sad part is, how many amazingly successful fitness bloggers are there in this goddamn island?! i've never heard/seen of one, personally. but yeah, i think i would be awesome at that!

i mean, given my personal success at losing weight this year (8 kilos to date!), and the first time i've actually stuck to new year resolution (YAY ME!), i think that with more exposure to health tips/issue and fitness and diet trends, i could really ace at being somewhat of a motivator for other people to get healthy. :)

i mean i'm no lean, mean power machine, but i know how it feels to have those off days where you don't feel like working out, where you just wanna binge on junk food, and where your mood swings to a low, miserable state. in spite of those days, i told myself, this is for ME. i need this, i wanna feel GOOD, and i wanna be HAPPY in my own skin for a change.

for the first time in my life, i can safely say to ANYONE that i LOVE MY BODY. i'm proud of my hard work and i'm overjoyed at the results. it's one thing that i have pride in, in FOREVER. and i'm not going to stop, not now, and hopefully not ever.

trust me, if i (someone who has always been lazy, STILL LOVESSS food, has PLENTY of bad days) can do it, ANYONE can; you just need to want it BADLY enough.

you have my word.
