What will be, will be.

For the longest time, I've been wanting to get a tattoo. Deciding that I wanted to get one done is an entirely different story from picking out what I wanted to be etched on my skin until I'm forty, fifty, sixty years old- hell, it will be there forever.  Needless to say, it wasn't going to be butterflies, flowers, stars, hearts, or somebody's name.

Then came the final movie of Harry Potter. I may not be the greatest fan in the world but my friends know I am a HUGE fan. My HP book set is more tattered than the rest of the books I own for I've read through them so many times- to the point they became my favorite toilet reading material. Now, you ask, how is Harry Potter related to my tattoo? As a tribute to the series I spent practically a decade of my life with, I said to myself that my first tattoo will be a phrase or quote lifted from it.

I spent months going through different websites, scouring for the perfect one, until I decided with "For us it's real." I don't know what it was exactly that delayed me from actually getting it done. Fast forward to November, about a month into the breakup of a three-year relationship that I initiated, I wanted to get a tattoo for real. I began prowling the magical internet world again and saw "Que sera sera". What will be, will be. OH. MY. GOD. That has to be it.

Feelings don't go away overnight. In retrospect, no matter how stupid my reason for wanting the breakup in the first place, it was indeed necessary no matter how much pain has been, or still is, being inflicted for both parties. They say when a relationship ends, it doesn't necessarily mean it has been a failure. It can still be a success if you have happy memories to cherish, and when you get out of it not bitter towards each other. Right now, there are so many things that I could hope for. I hope and hope, yet I don't want to crush myself either. So yeah, I'll continue with my life with fingers crossed while muttering Que Sera Sera.

So I went to the grocery after my shift and bought a pint of haagen daz ice cream on sale (and my coworker's specifically requested bag of kettle cooked chips). I went back to the store I work at

Me: hey babe, they didn't have the flavour of chips that you wanted!
R: what? No :(
Me: yeah! They have every other flavour except the one you wanted!
R:aww :( you shouldv'e called me so i could pick something else!
Me: but i left my phone here. I took a picture of the fake kettle cooked chips though. The imitation ones. I told you imitations exist!! (we had a debate prior to my grocery trip whether she she wanted THE kettle brand or some random kettle cooked chips)

And so i show her the picture.

R: marieeelllle!! That's the brand i wanted! That's it! Go back to the grocery and buy me my chips!!!
Me: but you told me you wanted the original, not the fake!!
R: well i didn't know that those aren't original!i want the big pack please.

And because i love her so much and didn't really wanna go home yet, i walked back to the grocery to buy THE magical (and fake) kettle chips while dodging the creepy guy who was restocking the potato chips section.

Oh hai thar!

Hi! I'm Marielle, 21 years of age, born and raised in the Philippines but now residing in Canada. I have lots of interests- some of which I have half- heartedly pursued, or boldly plunged myself into but have not followed through. My mom (and my horoscope, LOL) once said that I'm good at starting things or ideas but not  at finishing them.

At work, I'm actually an organized individual with serious follow through, but that might be the only exception. See at some point in my life I wanted to be a cheerleader but I shied away from the opportunity. I also wanted to be in theater but lacked perseverance to be good enough. Aaand I also once was interested in photography, wanted to buy a fancy schmancy camera, and realized months later that I don't even want to take photos at gatherings anymore. I once played the piano (quite terribly) and someday I hope to learn how to play the guitar. At this point, only time will tell which class I'd take first.

So hopefully, this blog will be my companion throughout all the things I would be trying, as well as a repository for all other odds and ends. I really look forward to faithfully keeping it updated and sharing random things with everyone who would be dropping by my site.

P.S. They say you can never dream too big, so I might as well write it here. Maybe one day I'll be famous for some talent I'd discover in the future, or maybe I will ~empower~ others to be more adventurous. Yeah? LOL, we'll see.
