Day Off. A rather typical day, with a not so typical occurence. And now, i write.
I made a promise to myself last month, I will finish the Eat, Pray, Love BOOK before I see the Eat, Pray, Love MOVIE. As for the realization of the promise, its still on the works. You see, thinking about the economy (lol) I opted to not purchase the book and just go to the bookstore and read. The reason exactly why i still havent finished it. So much for my cheapness.. The book has three parts (or books) divided into Liz G's travels to (1) Italy (2) India (3) Indonesia. Today, i say this proudly, i just finished book two.. Which was about INDIA, revolving around her journey towards God, inner peace and finding herself.
In the bookstore, it was nearly closing time, i finished in the nick of time. I decide to go to the restroom before heading out. After doing my business, i took out my phone and tweeted "just finished book2 of Eat,Pray, Love..il post an excerpt later. haha 2 down, 1 more to go". As my phone was doing its magic and sent it to twitter. Here it is..
A lady came in, wearing an orange robe, and glasses, with a notable red dot in her forehead. I was like "what in the.." of course, i was saying that to myself. Coincidence? because i was just reading about India and Ashrams a while back. Then she looked at me and said, "How are you young lady?" I smiled and said "Doing quite well actually, and you?", the reply was "Im glad that you are well, i am good as well"
I couldnt hold it anymore, i just had to tell her..
N: You know its kinda funny, because I was just reading Eat, Pray, Love, and about India, Ashrams and praying, then i saw you.. concidence,
G: no, i wouldnt say that. Nothing in this world is coincidence, everything happens for a reason, towards the direction you are set forth.
N: (dumfounded) You may be right, I am Nicole by the way.
G: Hello Nicole, I am Guru Ma, *handshake* I teach meditation (and stuff i cant remember)
N: Oh how nice to meet you.
G: I am happy you are doing well, and to learn that you are reading that sort of book, that is very nice.
All I could say after that are thank yous, I told her i have to get going, and bade her goodbye. She wished me all the best, and then i went out.
I hurried to the cafe where my brother was waiting. "You wont believe what just happened", Then i told him. He said "adik ka na naman, nasobrahan ka yata sa basa".
There's this electrifying feel, Im overwhelmed by this concidence.. oh wait, not concidence but by this unusual event. I dont know what this might mean. Should I go about and do what Liz G did? Go to an Ashram and discover me?
I dont know, I mean, yes there is still so much I need to know and experience. This is probably one of those things said in the book, that every spiritual journey has a beginning, a certain realization, a certain turning point. If this is my beginning, I just dont know. OMG!

August Rush
Whoa, a sudden urge to write.. this is an unusual occurence, haha.
Back in college i used to call this DJ on his show almost everyday but then i kinda stopped cause life became so busy. After months or years of nothing, I saw him on twitter, and voila! after exchanging a few tweets, he told me to give him a call if i had the time and so i did.. how can i resist. lol So i called his show earlier, just to say hi and all.. then the next thing i know i was already on air, on philippine radio.. like wtf! good thing it was a morning show, so i dont think anybody i know was listening. hah! what a rush.. prolly that rush jumpstarted my blogging cells.. so yeah..
Nicole the Host.
Dating back from my very young self, I always had this liking (okay, passion) for HOSTING. I think it was inborn, hah! My mom would always tell me that even when i was little, i was already a talker. I remember her telling me about how i would always come up to them and say stories and stuff like that. I bet you they thought I was so friggin cute. haha! (ehem, until now ) So much for that.
Come highschool, thats when it came to me.. I WANT TO BE AN MTV VJ! yes, i thought i was crazy too. Come college though i was taking up Nursing, thats when i started putting myself out there, grabbing every chance i could get. Events, Seminars, Conferences, and even Pageants!
Everytime im out there, the feeling is surreal, it was like my own personal type of high, my sugar rush.
It doesnt matter how big or small the task is, as long as im there i feel the same kind of rush every time. Oh how i love the feeling. I even got an offer to host in an event in Shangri la this one time, but i had to decline it because.. it came up on an exam week. Talk about major bummer!
As much as I love hosting, there is this other part of me.. Nicole the Nurse.. and if anyone would make me choose between the two, the latter would still emerge on top. Sorry Hosting, you are a no. 2.
They both make me happy, and when the time comes i still hope that i can live up to my other love.. and be a MTV VJ, okay maybe thats too much.. but oh well, we all have the right to dream at some point.
