Rainy Heat

I look out my Mom's door and it's "raining" sunshine again. Isn't the summer already over? I don't like this hot weather brings me. I'm more of a sweater weather, bury myself under the sheets, stuff myself with junk food, watch my favorite series, cuddle with Kel, play with my Bubba Liam & stay in my pajamas all day kind of person.

Love knocks me down

BOYFRIEND - A regular male companion in a romantic and/or sexual relationship. A boyfriend can also be called an admirer, beau, fiance, suitor and soul mate. A boyfriend is sometimes taken to check for compatibility in a relationship.

"Love is overrated. I don't think I'll be able to love again." - An old tweet of mine

(Yes, I tweeted that, but no regrets at all)

In my case, I am happily in love with my boyfriend, Michael. Yes, we fight (a lot), but it's normal. I think, I'm lucky enough to have such a wonderful partner in life. Most women say nowadays, boys in this generation are womanizer, liars, party animals, and stuff. But for me, not all boys are like that. I guess, I've got a good one - GREAT ONE! (Eep, kilig ka for sure, Bubs! :p)

THOUGHTS ON SAYING "I LOVE YOU"

Admit it, guys. Telling your partner you love them is actually, well, funny. "Love" is just a word and it means heaps of things in different situations - whether it's about your friendship or relationship. There is an "I love you" for acquaintances who make you laugh until you cry. There is an "I love you" for the best friend who has stuck by your side no matter what. There is an " I love you" for your family members who never leave on your side in tough times & struggles. And then there's a special "I love you" to the person who matters you the most - your boyfriend/girlfriend/partner/fiance/wife/husband.

My boyfriend, Michael Jethrew ♥

I may have forgotten the day I said those three words to him, but that's okay. What matters is, I love him and I always have. If you feel something right, say it because you'll never know what fate would bring to you.

This relationship is my longest - yes, it's hard to believe. Not to be O.A. (well, it's kinda), but he's the best in everything. He truly is incredible. He's just not my boyfriend/partner, but he is my best-est friend I've ever had!

This cool, sexy kid is my world. He really is. I swear, he makes the person I am. I don't know where I'd be without him. I don't care about the "sacrifice" I made. He was worth it. The way he makes me laugh and smile & giving me such an amazing baby boy (Liam), are the best part of it. I've never had someone who knows me the way he does. It's all about loving each other when we're together. We don't care about what anybody else has to say about us. All we care about is loving one another and making each other happy. Nobody understands and nobody will ever understand but I love this kid, to the moon & back.

"Love" is just a word, but it can represent something important. When I tell him I love him, it represents the countless times my eyes have welled up with tears when he looks at me. It represents hours spent laying in bed cuddling, making out and sharing thoughts. It represents the amazing level of comfort we have with each other, the laughs we have had, and the crazy things we've done. It represents the absolute contentedness I feel when we grocery shop together, even when you disagree on buying way too much foods (just because I splurge a lot when it comes to foods). It represents the sacrifices we have willingly made and will make for each other. It represents the happiness I never believed another person could give me. "I love you" says all of these things and so much more. It even says the things I cannot put into words.

A lot of people around us know how we fight a lot (most about petty things). But at the end of the day, we talk and stick with each other make our relationship work. I think and everyone knows that (yes, I'll admit this - ego, thank you for leaving me for a while) you deserve an apology from me.

I AM SORRY

I want you to know how much I appreciate all of the things you do for me. From the little things to the biggest. You make me feel wanted, needed, and cared about. You are absolutely amazing and I am sorry. I'm sorry for fighting you all the time. I am coward when it comes to this, but I really am sorry. I admit that sometimes, well mostly, I take you for granted. I think Beyonce's hit "Ego" is really for me. You always make sure I'm smiling, laughing, and having a good time even I always start a fight. When I am in your arms, I feel so safe and it makes me think I am the luckiest girl in the world to have such a awesome boyfriend.

I'm sorry for ripping your heart slowly and not even feeling sympathy for how you felt. I've been a horrible girlfriend to you. Yet you still love me regardless. I'm sorry for the way I've behaved. I admit that there are times that I tend to be weak and just wanted to give up, leave and forget about us. But you were always there.

You had seen me at my worst, my best and hottest (rawr!), and you appreciate all of it, so THANK YOU. Thank you for sticking with me. You've been with me through my ups and downs. You never fail to tell me how much good I look, I dress, and great I talk and do stuff. You make me feel as if I am a likable person. You make me feel woman. You make me blessed. You make me feel loved. You make me happy. Cliche as it may sound but you are one of the best things that happened to me ♥

DREAMER (c) unknown

Hi! I am Janine! My friends usually call me Nin or Ja. I am blessed in everything since 1990. I am a dreamer. Everyday, I dream big. Every time I see something different (that makes my eyes bigger and my smile wider), I automatically put it on my list (well, in my thoughts). It makes me realize that you have to really work hard to attain your dreams. Don't just dream, but push it into reality - which is what I'm doing now. Be a pursuer of dreams. 

90's Kid (c) unknown

Yes! I'm a certified 90's kid and I love it! In this generation, boy bands/girl bands, TV cartoons, Pinoy games, etc. are so in!

Spice Girls

The Spice Girls are a British pop girl group formed in 1994. The group consists of five members, who each later adopted nicknames initially ascribed to them: Melanie Brown (Scary Spice), Melanie Chrisholm (Sporty Spice), Emma Bunton (Baby Spice), Geri Halliwell (Ginger Spice), and Victoria Beckham (Posh Spice).

Backstreet Boys

The Backstreet Boys are an American vocal harmony group formed in Orlando, Florida. The group consists of A. J. McLean, Howie Dorough, Nick Carter, Kevin Richardson, and Brian Littrell.

Spice Girls & Backstreet Boys are two of my favorite bands in the 90's. My aunt bought me their cassette tapes (yeah, this proves how old I am now. Ha ha!). I know all of their songs! Name it. When I was a kid, my mom scolded me for being such an O.A. fan of Spice Girls because I bombarded our house with their music - like a boss! How about you? What are your favorite bands in your generation? :)

Heidi, Girl of the Alps

Heidi is one of the best TV cartoons ever in my generation! Even though it originally started in the 70's, this cartoon blew the local television in the latter part of 90's. I remember singing its OST every now & then. Ha ha! (Heidi, Heidi... la la la... sa kabundukan.)

Pinoy Games

HIDE & SEEK

These are the three of my favorite "Pinoy" games. I must say, children in the 90's spent their childhood days with great, happy & special memories. And that includes me!

ANIMAL PRINTS

I love everything in animal prints. Whether in clothes, house decorations, accessories, etc. It makes my eyes grow bigger whenever I see something like it. I think, it matches my personality. Fierce. 

REALITY SHOWS & TV SERIES

I am a huge fan of reality shows and TV series. I blame my friend, Samantha, the series freak, for this. Ha ha! Whenever I have spare time, I download and watch my favorite shows. Ugh, thanks to the cyber world, no need to buy DVDs. Here are some of my favorites:

The Hills

The Hills is a reality TV series which originally aired on MTV. This is my ultimate favorite. This show includes my super favorite Lauren Conrad aka LC. I used this photo which includes Whitney Port because I like The Hills with her more than the last seasons of the show.

Keeping Up With The Kardashians (plus their spin-offs)

This is an American reality TV series that premiered on E!. This show follows the family of The Kardashians & The Jenners. At first, I have never liked this show (judging by its commercials), but I was wrong. REALLY WRONG. I got hooked!!! This show is so addictive! There comes a time I invited my sister and cousins to watch it and they got hooked also! Even my boyfriend, Michael. Sometimes, he's the one who keeps on asking me if I already have new episodes of the show. My golly!

THE VAMPIRE DIARIES

The Vampire Diaries is a supernatural TV series that premiered on The CW Television Network. This show contains supernatural beings like Vampires, Werewolves, Witches, etc. This show has a lot to offer. It is not only a show with vampires (admit it, it's their season), but it is a show that includes family values, friendship & love issues. The stars of this show added spice, too! Nina Dobrev, Ian Somerhalder and Paul Wesley as the main cast. Who says no to this gigantic show, huh?

90210

This is not just a code in the United States, but it is a hit drama television series that stars Annalyne McCord, Shenae Grimes, Tristan Wild, Matt Lanter, Jessica Stroup, Jessica Lowndes and Michael Steger. This show is a franchise from the former show, Beverly Hills,  90210. I must say, this show reflects on the modern teenage years that faces struggles when it comes to family, friends, love, school, and career issues. This show has a lot to offer. For its final season, I can say that 90210 will leave the television track with a huge mark. 

BOOK LOVER

Ever since, I am a book lover. Huge fan of Nicholas Sparks here! Also, I fell in love with Lauren Conrad's sweet side - her novel creations! I was the one who bought all of her books. I even went to Greenbelt, Powerbooks just to reserve the 3rd installment of her book series which was sold out in the nearby bookstore. When you read, you gain ideas - fresh ideas! Sometimes, you'll feel that you're the protagonist of the story. Sometimes, not. Well, it depends upon what you are reading. There's a saying "You are what you eat". This is mine: "You are what you read". Well, I guess, it implies. Ehem! :D
