THAT KIND OF LOVE STORY

Everyone was happy except for one - the girl who was wearing the darkest color in the room. Misery. Sorrow. Gloominess. All painted in the girl’s petite face. Her name was Love.

Love, I know, used to be so joyous and cheerful. She was so optimistic of almost everything she does. She would be glad with the little things she receives from everyone. Until she meets Deceit. Then everything changed.

Love and Deceit were always together. Deceit on the lead and Love was always the one who follows. Deceit was the dominant and Love was always the submissive one. Deceit was the master and Love, almost a slave. That’s the movie I always watch at school - supposedly romantic but turned out to be a drama.

There must be something wrong. I sense some flaws and loopholes in their relationship. From then, I decided to personally ask Love.

“I hope you don’t mind if I ask you, Love, but I noticed your changes since you met Deceit. You’ve become so different. Should it be the opposite? You know, ‘cause you finally found your soulmate, I guess,” I bravely asked.

“Well, not all you see with your naked eyes are true with what I feel inside my heart. I can be extremely happy but I can be achingly melancholic as well. But you see, Deceit needs me for him to understand the importance of everything. I know I can get through this struggle. I am just waiting for the right time,” she convincingly said.

And that explains it all. Love is after all mysterious but selfless in the most impossible situation there is.

SADDEST STORY EVER

He was standing in the corner, 

Texting, looking at the horizon, thinking...

She was standing in the other corner,

Staring at him, smiling, daydreaming...

And he doesn’t notice her looking at him.

And the story repeats again and again...

The girl with the unrequited love,

And the boy who counts affairs from one to ten,

He’s feeling exhilarated while she’s feeling heartbroken,

Everyday, almost forever...

Then this could be the saddest story ever.

[bellederigay-blog]

3 Minutes

It was 3 minutes...

When one day, two strangers meet.

She said, “Hi!”

He answered with a smile.

It was cute and funny,

Wonderin’ what that could be.

Was it destiny...

Or another wanted fantasy?

“Dug...dug...dug...”

What is that thumping?

Was it her heart beating?

She almost couldn’t settle,

Her nerves are like fighting in a battle.

She almost couldn’t breathe,

Her lungs are like full of mice to feed.

Relax! Inhale, exhale...inhale, exhale!

He passed beside her as if no one’s there.

He didn’t even bother to stare.

There she goes again - wishful thinking!

When does she end this daydreaming?

“Wake up!”, she said.

Then added, “Get him out of your head!”

She walks with her heart half-broken.

Her tears about to fall from her eyes widely open.

Suddenly, a motorcycle stopped in front of her.

She froze and looked at the driver.

It was him - the guy in her reveries.

From that, she smiles with ease.

Now who would have thought 3 minutes would embark...

A journey of a love story that will truly mark.

[bellederigay-blog]

BROKEN

I believed when you said “You and Me Forever”...

All the promises we made, 

I cherished in my heart.

It was magical, one for the books.

We were prince and princess in a fairy tale...

I was a damsel in distress and you are my knight and shining armor.

Everything was fine until...

I woke up one morning, 

And found out that you’re not by my side anymore.

You left me hanging by the moment...

Crushed with pain and agony.

How I wish we didn’t meet...

If I knew, you would just leave.

THAT DREAM :)

I can see you from afar. You were only a silhouette in my sight because of that radiant sunset behind you. I wanted to run to you. I wanted to see you clearly. But when I was already close enough to hold your hand and touch your face, suddenly! A blank white space welcomed me. It was the ceiling. And when I turned to my left, the sun was shining. IT WAS A DREAM. AGAIN. But, it was a wonderful dream. A WONDERFUL DREAM, INDEED.

BACOLOD ADVENTURES

May 15-17, 2015. My colleague friends conquered Bacolod! This was our first out-of-town trip together, actually. Why Bacolod? I dunno. Maybe because it was near Cebu and yet, we didn’t have the chance to get to know the place. We only commuted in getting to the destinations we wanted to go. So, it was a whole lot of fun! 

DAY 1

Photo taken at Mactan International Airport - Domestic Departure: While waiting for our boarding time!

Before taking off, it’s good to have an usie, right? Hahaha! (left to right: She, me, Josh, Gina, Jaiza and Cutie)

Finally! We set foot on Bacolod-Silay Airport! :))

Riding a bus on the way to our first destination... (at Murcia)

1st Destination: MAMBUKAL MOUNTAIN RESORT

I didn’t take the chance not to take a photo in this awesome stone wall welcoming us in the resort. This is actually nice to look at when it’s dark because this has lights flashed on it. 

Trekking! But lemme take a selfie first! SMILE!!!!

One of their attractions here is the BUTTERFLY GARDEN. 

These are some of the dead butterflies preserved and put in frames for display. 

Does this show my frustration for photography? HAHAHA! I tried my very best to get good candid shots of this colorful butterflies. I just love lookin’ at ‘em. Nakaka happy! :D

Usie first! Another attraction here is the Japanese ofuro.

The Japanese word, ofuro, means "a tub."

In Japan, no daily ritual is more uniquely important to the individual's well being than the bath at the end of the day. The ofuro has been used by the Japanese for centuries to alleviate both physical and spiritual maladies. This ancient technique of immersion in hot water takes away tensions and stress, soothes muscular pains, and stimulates the blood's circulation.

Another one is the Warm Sulfur Dipping Pool.  

 Four feet deep with love seat surrounding the pool where the people could sit and dip.

After a long day at Mambukal, our tummies were in search of good food. So it’s best if we try Bacolod’s chicken inasal. People say that they have the best taste all over the Philippines. So, why not try it? (at Aida’s Manokan Country)

Dahil nga gutom na, ‘di na nakunan ng picture ang chicken inasal! Hahahaha! Anyway, their place were full of masks (symbol of Bacolod as the City of Smiles).

After a sumptuous dinner, headed to Calea for a delightful dessert. 

Malalaki ‘yong cake nila, ah! And super affordable! Sulit talaga!

DAY 2

2nd destination: CAMPUESTOHAN HIGHLAND RESORT

The view of the resort from the hanging bridge! 

Another great new highlight of Campuestohan Highland Resort is the Rope Course. The main objective of this feature is to challenge guests to complete the course without falling off the more than ten feet elevated series of planks, tires, ropes, etc. If you look at it from below, the course seemed easy enough to hurdle. Once you tried it, however, you will find that it takes all of your strength, willpower and perseverance to complete the task without falling. Almost all of the resort guests who have tried the rope course praised it saying that it is by far the best feature that the place has. In a way, the course tests how far the guests are willing to go. Don’t worry though if you slip and fall because the harness will safely catch you. Just like the zipline, you must have your sports shoes on if you want to try out the rope course.

Go go go girlssssssss!!!!! :D

I feel the struggle! Hahahahaha! Di ko natapos but the pain was all worth it. 

Ang mga matitibay na natira! Congratulations, mga Yobs!!!!! 

We did it right? Hahahahahaha (trying out the Hamster Wheel)

Meanwhile, at the Heroes Hall! We took time to take pictures with our favorites heroes, and yes! SUPERHEROES, of course! :D

2nd photo: Di ko palalampasin ang pagkakataon na makapicture with my favorite anime character, Son Goku! Hahaha! (with Gina and Josh)

3rd destination: THE RUINS

Considered the “Taj Mahal of Negros” for this was built in the early 1900′s for the wife of sugar baron, Don Mariano Ledesma Lacson. 

This is love lit at night! 

A beautiful sight to behold.

Usie! HAHAHAHA

Dinner after a long day (at Hykos Pala-Pala Restaurant)

Who would miss a sweet dessert? Right, Gina? Hahahaha! (at Felicia’s Pastry Cafe)

Their yummy and mouth-watering cakes!

Elevator selfie #2!

DAY 3

GOOD MORNING! Nakatulog ba kayo ng maigi? Hahahaha!

That’s the Capitol of Bacolod and the clean lagoon at our back.

SM muna while waiting for our sundo!

MUSEUM HOPPING

4th destination: Bernardino-Jalandoni House Museum

Their collection of different dolls (limited edition)

5th destination: BALAY NEGRENSE

It’s sad to say good-bye, but this is it after the 3 days of exploring the place. Hoping for more travels with you, girls! :))

ATM Vol. II: Tuesday Edition

The 24th chapter of my life finally unfolds! The last 23 years of my life were full of ups and downs. Good thing, I am still able to stand up after falling down. Di ko rin naman magagawa ‘yon kung wala naman strong support system. I have my family and friends who were always there to catch me. My birthday yesterday was nothing grand actually. It comes with age na din, ano? Hehehe. Di na uso ‘yong may handa. Naglaba nga lang ako ng mga damit, eh. Hahahaha! The happenings 2 days before my birthday and on the day itself will be narrated in another blog. :))

“12 AM THOUGHTS”

I’m wide awake and the clock strikes 12,

It’s the 16th of November.

Another chapter unfolds...

What a thought to behold.

Will this be exciting?

Will I be expecting?

One thing’s for sure...

There are better things coming. 

“Life, surprise me!”

My mantra for this special day.

Though people say this has always been a cliche,

I would never stop praying for blessings to come my way.

❤ CAMOTES ISLAND ❤

April 9, 2015 - My high school classmates, Eva and Rio, and I went to Camotes Island. Well, it’s rare to have this two girls pulled out from their hectic schedule at work but I did! Hahaha! Well, maybe they realized that sometimes, we need to chill and relax after a very tiresome juggle at work. 

1st day

We are on board a fast craft (I forgot the name! Hehehe)! The travel is about 3 hours or more depending on the current of the ocean. That time, the weather was fine so the trip was good. Oooopppsss! Except for one time that the boat stopped in the middle of the ocean. The men on board explained that the seaweeds wrapped around the propeller made the boat stop. It took about 5 minutes before the boat moved again. After that, it was a smooth trip until we docked into the port of Poro.

 A lot of habal-habal drivers (motorcycle drivers) are waiting in the docking area. We weren’t able to call or reserve someone to pick us up. Good thing, someone went near us and offered his package tour. So we immediately grabbed it since we were in a hurry. We need to finish the tour in just one day because we will eventually be leaving tomorrow. 

P.S.: The roads in Camotes Island were all clean. Not to mention, the smooth roads.

And we arrived at our hotel. We booked one room for 3 persons, 2 days and 1 night at Santiago Bay Garden and Resort. The place was clean and it was a breath of fresh air, I must say. 

This photo is taken from the resort, which is located atop of this beautiful sea. Breathtaking!

A panorama shot of the rooms in the resort. Ours is not there. I forgot to take a picture of our room. Hahahaha!

This is the reception area. Their interior is good. The furniture pieces and large vases bring a tribal vibe to the place. 

They also have huge wood sculptures which bring an Indian or Aztec ambiance to the whole area.

PORK SISIG

KINILAW NA TUNA

MANGO SHAKE (35 php only! Waaaaaa, I was surprised! And the mango was oh so, ripe!!!!!)

Before we went on our tour, we had our lunch at Pito’s Sutukil, located just below the resort. When I read some travel blogs about Camotes, they all recommended this eatery. So might as well, try it. And we didn’t have any regrets because the food was very delicious and very much affordable. 

MANGODLONG ROCK RESORT (1st stop)

The beach was enchanting. If it wasn’t that hot, I could have dived in there for several hours. Arggghhhh! I’m pretty sure I will be back here soon. 

The Legend of Lake Danao

With Bobby the Horse!

LAKE DANAO WITH HORSEBACK RIDING (2nd stop)

We only had a picture of the lake since again, we were in a hurry. But we didn’t miss the horseback riding worth 50 php! Hahaha! Horses are just adorable, am I right? 

BAKHAW BEACH (3rd stop)

We swam in the beach for a while. This is the only beach we swam in, by the way. Takot kasi umitim ang mga ate niyo! Hahaha! But of course, I didn’t miss the chance to have the “I HEART YOU” sign in front of the sun. Hahaha! 

TIMUBO CAVE (4th stop)

I love this place! It’s a spring inside a cave so the water is very fresh. After a scorching dive in the beach, it’s very refreshing to have a dip in a cool spring water. Awwww, so relaxing! 

BUHO ROCK FORMATION (5th stop)

1st photo: We had a picture with the words read as “I LOVE BUHO ROCK”.

2nd photo: It’s not that obvious but we were actually on top of a cliff there. The spot where we’re standing at is for diving. I considered diving that time but it was already low tide so I didn’t take the chance. Gusto ko pa mabuhay, ano! Hehehe. 

3rd photo: A shot of the beautiful sunset from the diving spot. But that cliff is also intended for diving, as well. 

4th photo: Of course, the “I HEART YOU” sign in front of the sunset. HAHAHAHA!

2nd day

My dream! It’s a foot selfie in front of an infinity pool! Tedeeeeen! Hahaha!

It was a nice time for a morning swim! We had the pool all for ourselves. HAHAHA! 

De-stressing ends here! Back to reality :(  But anyway, we’ll surely be back. (at Jomalia Ship back to Cebu City)

KNOW ME MORE

                         Belle Marguerite Derigay

I really don’t know how to start in introducing myself the metaphorical way. Pang-slum book lang kasi alam kong way of introducing myself! Hahaha! Anyway, I’ve been writing pieces since I was in elementary. I love writing poems and composing songs. But it’s been years since the last song I composed. Ngayon lang din ako nakasulat ulit ng mga tula. I was a writer back in my high school days. I was tasked to design the feature page of our English school paper back then. So ayun! That’s how my passion for writing started. Depende din sa mood ang pagsusulat ko kasi I feel like a couch potato, sometimes. Hehehe!  If you want to know me more, just visit my blog site often. My writings speak for my personality, feelings and experiences. You can comment all you want, that’s fine with me. Anyway, I made my blog site to express, not to impress or please everyone. Make love, not war. Peace y’all!

Life is like a book. If you do not travel, you only read one page.

[bellederigay-blog]

“Panalangin ng Puso”

Sa pagtingin sa mga bituin sa langit, 

Ako’y napaisip at sabay sambit,

“Kailan kaya muling titibok ang pusong tumigil ng kusa?”

“Kailan kaya muling maaalagaan ang pusong naulila?”

Ang pusong sadyang napaglaruan, 

Walang pasabi at biglang iniwanan...

Isang araw, biglang nakita...

Mahigpit na hawak sa kamay ng babaeng, isang araw, iyong napakilala.

Kayo’y patungo sa burol na minsa’y, langit lupa’y saksi sa ating sinumpaang pangako...

Ngunit dumating ang oras, lahat ng iyon ay napako.

Ako’y napabuntong-hininga...

Bakit siya’y masaya habang ako’y nagdurusa?

Walang hinangad kun’di ligayang walang hanggan.

Walang hinangad kun’di masabayan sa pagsayaw sa indayog ng musika.

Walang hinangad kun’di ang mahawakan ang puso at hindi kailanman bibitawan.

Gayunpaman, ako’y napatingin ulit sa mga bituin...

Luha’y bumuhos sabay sa ihip ng hangin..

Hawak ko’y litrato ng tila ay masayang alaala,

Ako’y napatingin at biglang napagtanto,

Oras nang pakawalan ito.

Pagkakataon na para simulan ang pagbabago.

Tularan ang Panginoon sa inihandang plano.

Maaaring sa kaligayahan, doon, ay patungo.

Ang taong nakalaan sa huli ay naghihintay,

Dala ang wagas na pag-ibig na walang makakapantay.

“Fairy Tale Blues”

Wish I had a “Silver Tongue”...

Then I could bring life to everything fancy I read aloud.

Wish I was Elsa...

Then I could create snow and send the world to eternal winter.

Wish I was in Neverland...

Then I could have endless childhood adventures like Peter Pan.

Wish I was Sleeping Beauty...

Then I wouldn’t be deceived by anyone and eventually be awakened by my true love’s kiss.

Yes, they only exist in fairy tales - fantasized, imagined, fictional.

But I wish I was in a fairy tale...

Then I’ll truly have a “happily ever after”...

[bellederigay-blog]

“Pwede Pa Ba?”

Masakit pala ang mahalin ka, kaibigan!

Dapat isakripisyo ang mga masasayang araw na ating pinagdaanan. 

Nagkakailangan dahil sa ‘di inaasahang nadarama.

Nasasaktan ang puso sa ‘di sinasadyang pag-iisa.

Kailangan bang humantong sa ganito?

Ang sitwasyong ‘di ginusto?

Sana ay pwede nating ibalik...

Ang pagkakaibigang puno ng tawa at hagikhik.

Kasalanan ko ba kung inibig kita?

‘Wag ako ang sisihin mo kun’di ang tadhana.

Sapagkat ako’y tao lamang...

Sumusunod sa tibok ng aking puso.

Ibig kong maintindihan mo, kaibigan...

Lahat ng bagay ay babagsak sa dapat na kalagyan.

May rason na dapat nating maintindihan...

Kung bakit nangyayari ang ganitong mga kaganapan.

Ba’t hindi natin muling subukan...

Ibalik ang dati nating samahan.

Sana kaibigan...

Kung ako’y lalapit sa’yo...

‘Wag kang mag-alinlangan na sagutin ako ng matamis mong “oo”,

Sa tanong na hindi ako kailanman matatakot at magsisisi...

“Pwede pa ba?”

= I think it’s good. But be sure the friendship is true and walang hidden agenda ang bawat isa. Like kaya lang siya nakikipag-kaibigan sa’yo kasi gusto lang niya manligaw. Dapat yung friends na kayo matagal na tapos bigla lang nagka-spark nang di inaasahan.

Strolling down the road - wet, alone.. Then, songs play randomly as if living in reverie.

Yung feeling na parang nasa music video ka? HAHAHA! What’s in my mind? Well, a lot! I’m thinking of my future, etc. When I got heartbroken, I thought of the good and bad moments we had with my ex. Pag ginagawa ko yun, I literally cry. But hindi naman yung hagulhol to the max! Hehehehe. Nakaw eksena lang! The rain makes me emotional. My mind gets preoccupied with a lot of thoughts. Music helps me soothe and calm. Lahat nalang ata ng ginagawa ko, dapat may music, e. Whatever I’m feeling, I just grab my music player then I feel like transport to another world. I could listen to music forever! Kahit siguro ako lang sa isang island, kaya ko basta may music lang. Well anyway, these are just some of the songs listed in my playlist. Because it’s rainy season, ito yung mga songs na gusto kong pakinggan tuwing umuulan. I have about 50 songs and I’m going to list it here. The songs are played randomly, by the way. Gusto ko naman lahat ng songs! :))
