Oh my darling, Clementine!

How happy is the blameless vestal's lot!

The world forgetting, by the world forgot.

Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind!

Each pray'r accepted, and each wish resign'd 

Lines and pictures above came from one of my all-time favorite sob-fest movies. 

I have no plans on going emo (saving this sana for Vday, hahaha), but bilang umulan

nadin naman kanina, decided to bring out my tangerine jacket from WRANGLER,

and sport the look of Kate Winslet aka Clementine in Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.

Perfect for the chill-lang day, I also wore my red Veloci watch with the nice red Asprey strap:

Family went to Festival earlier (our every-Sunday mall, haha). Before our ubusang-pera

session (aka shopping), had merienda first with my sister Cea in Pancake House:

Bottle caps tee, hehe:

Hindi naman talaga ako sad (surprisingly, hahaha).. Just going for the Clementine aura---minus the blue hair:

Shared pancakes and fries with my sister (not in pic)

And took more emo pics by the carousel (para may bokeh bokeh effect, hahaha)

It's getting colder now, and finally another year is closing. I usually make those cheesy (and lengthy!) year 

enders, but I hope I'll still find the time to compile my 2012 before New Year's Eve (and work!). I love that,

collecting memories, and then realizing that, although the mix, I am actually blessed (even with just the lessons). 

Just a hypothetical question, what if the memory-erasing company Lacuna, Inc exists? Would you erase a

 certain person in your past that causes your early-morning anxieties? It's a tempting offer, I tell you. It would 

be hard to imagine though, what would I be after the process? It's not just about losing the heartaches

anyway, but also killing a part of yourself.

I guess the goal is to reconcile with your 2012 pains before the year ends.
To quote one of the speakers from our church (Bro. Velden Lim):
"Pain without love and purpose is just plain pain. But pain with love and purpose is gain."

To find it in your heart that "it's okay, it's okay, it's okay." 
And it's not all pain, I guess. It might have the most intense impact in your life as of the moment,
but you'll eventually outgrow (or get use to) these...

...Until you realize you'll catch yourself remembering the "in betweens",
or the "best fucking night of your entire fucking life".

PS: You might be interested, so I will post nadin this tidbit for the first quote in this post:

The quote is taken from Alexander Pope's poem "Eloisa to Abelard" in which Eloisa has an intense infatuation with Abelard, but he is unable to return her feelings. So instead of praying to have Abelard return her feelings, or for forgiveness of her feelings, she prays instead to forget Abelard entirely. (source)
