2014 has been a challenging year for me. My faith in God and in myself was tested. But what's good about tests is that there are two results available: you succeed or you fail. Not all who face trials come out as wounded individuals. Some come out as survivors. In all honesty, I can say that I survived the test and came out as a better individual.
I became wiser and stronger to let go of things that...

Recurring Question.
Edit Posted by Joangela Rivera with No comments
Have I made someone happy? That is the question I am asking
myself these past few days. I can say that if the only people that was happy
because of me were my parents because I was born in this world, maybe I am
living in vain.
I know, I have made people smile or even laugh, but on a
deeper level, I don’t know if I have ever made someone thank God that I have
them in their lives or if ever I...
Is my circle getting smaller?
Edit Posted by Joangela Rivera with No comments
During my two decades and three years of living, I am
pretty sure that I have made quite a number of friends. From pre-school,
elementary, high school, college and in the workplace, I can see that I have
made many acquaintances, those people I will give my smile and wave a Hi when I
see them in the hallways of the university or in the boundaries of the office
or even while strolling in the mall or...

Nakaraan.
Edit Posted by Joangela Rivera with No commentsHindi ko malaman pero parang sakit ko nang mag-stalk ng facebook, twitter, tumblr at blogspot ng taong mahal ko. Hindi naman ako particular na may hinahanap pero parang gusto ko lang malaman kung ano ang buhay niya noon, nung hindi pa nya ko kilala at wala pa ko sa mundong iniikutan niya,
Pero napagtanto ko, sa paggawa ko nun, parang hinuhukay ko na pala ang sarili kong libingan. Bakit? Dahil hindi...
Kape.
Edit Posted by Joangela Rivera with No comments"We started over coffee." Sabi nga sa kanta. Parang nakarelate ako. Dun din tayo nagsimula diba? Sa pa-kape kape. Tanda ko pa noon, sa kape lang na libre sa pantry ng opisina ang afford nating inumin. Sabay lang magtitimpla, tapos kwentuhan habang hinahalo ang kape, creamer at asukal. Pagkatapos nun, punta na sa kanya-kanyang area. Pero naglaon, naging Starbucks na! Hindi naman talaga ako ang dapat...

To everybody who has loved and lost.
Edit Posted by Joangela Rivera with No commentsAnyone who has gone through the agony of losing someone she loves so much and still wishes against all odds to have that love back again. But sometimes, a love lost is a love gone forever. No amount of hope can bring back to life a relationship that just died a natural death. Set yourself free, let your heart spread its wings and fly. Remember, it may rain for forty days and forty nights...

The Painful Truth About Love
Edit Posted by Joangela Rivera with No comments
Let me say this, I love reading novels but through the years of reading books, I have found a painful truth: novels blinded my perspective of love. Not just novels but also romance films and series. I sometimes think that I am a character in a my own fictional story and that in the end, I will find my one true love.Based on personal experience, I have undergone tons of experience when it comes to...

Ilocandia Food with a Twist
Edit Posted by Joangela Rivera with No comments
Hi there!
This will be my first legit blog post on doing a food review. Since this is my first time, I will be reviewing a one of a kind restaurant. One of a kind in a sense that the food is great and also, no branches of this restaurant is available since it can only be found in...

I had a terrible day. I don't know what to do. I've been missing a lot of my close friends. I feel like I have been apart from the world I used to love. I don't know what happened. I don't know really. Just now, I feel so alone. It's as if no one understands me. Yes, they could console and they could tell me that I am alright, but do they know what I feel, do they know how...

Randomness.
Edit Posted by Joangela Rivera with No comments
Hindi ko maipaliwanag yung eksaktong nararamdaman ko kapag kasama kita. Ang alam ko lang, masaya ko kapag kasama kita, masaya ko kapag ikaw lang katabi ko. Yung feeling na hindi ko maitago yung ngiti ko, hindi ko mapigilang kiligin kapag kausap na kita, kapag naririnig ko boses mo. Kapag kayakap kita, parang nasa langit ako, parang wala na ko dapat pang hilingin kasi nandyan ka na sakin.
Ayoko...
To My Dearest.
Edit Posted by Joangela Rivera with No comments
November 23, 2013. I decided to finally say
yes to him. He is my officemate, my office buddy, my food partner, my music
jamming guitarist, he is always beside me, in stress days and in happy days. In
slack and busy seasons of my life. And I wish to keep him for all of the
remaining days of my life.
Our first 100 days of being together was
full of surprises. And from the moment I thought I could...

Hot Vs. Beautiful
Edit Posted by Joangela Rivera with No commentsI have found this article which my college professor shared on Facebook. The said article talks about the difference of hot women and beautiful women.
Being a woman myself, i have heard many criticisms about how I look How I am gaining weight. How my hair does not fall into into its proper place. How my make-up routine has downgraded from concealer-eyeshadow-blush-lipstick to BB Cream-powder-lip...

My 2013
Edit Posted by Joangela Rivera with No comments
The year that has passed was certainly my happiest year, to date, of course. I have met and lost people. I have experienced the worst and the best. My patience was put to the test. My work had made me push myself to the limit. I have lost someone, but gain a better one, and may I...
