Photoblog: Pattaya Thailand Trip!

Old Photographs!

It's been nearly a year since I last updated my blog. Instead of taking a moment to stop and write down what I should be writing in my online journal, my teaching job overseas has consumed all of my time. I've been sharing pictures of celebrities and their favorite local and foreign fragrances lately. I acknowledged that I have a smell addiction. Collecting genuine fragrances and colognes worn by local and Hollywood celebrities is one of my life's frustrations. However, I find it difficult to get a genuine one because they are all too costly for me as a low-income teacher and an overseas Filipino worker. In any case, I am totally back, and hopefully this won't be halted.

My favorite secular song is available as a video clip below. Every time I hear it online or on my music app phone, it evokes strong emotions and memories of the good old days, and I sincerely miss them. I miss my parents, my home, my family, friends, and neighbors, as well as the simple and uncomplicated life that existed back then. Jim Capaldi's music, Old Photographs, expresses all of my feelings. Perfectly expresses how I feel practically every day. I'm not sure if I'm the only one in the world who feels this way, but as a member of Generation X, I really miss my generation's time.

Below are the lyrics of the song:

Yesterday I felt the wind blowing 'round my shoulder

Feel like I'm getting older

Still I can't forget your face

Separated by a million miles of ocean

My heart still feels emotion

Even in this lonely place

Old photographs and places I remember

Just like a dying ember

That's burned into my soul

Even though we walk the diamond-studded highways

It's the country lanes and byways

That makes us long for home

Lately I just find my mind has turned to dreamin'

Making plans and scheming

How I'm gonna get back home

But deep down inside I know it's really hopeless

This road I'm on is endless

We climb our mountains all alone

That makes us long

For home

1. Feeling My Age: I finally realized I’m not young anymore. It hit me like a cold breeze—leaving me feeling a little tired and fragile as the years slip by.

2. Two Different Worlds: I’ve lived two lives. One is my career—shiny, successful, but cold. The other is my old home—simple, warm, and quiet. Even with everything I’ve achieved, my heart still pulls me back to those dusty country roads.

3. Fading Echoes: Memories are like the last glowing embers of a fire. They aren't as sharp as they used to be, but they can still burn if you get too close.

4. The Solo Journey: Life feels like a long, winding road. Even when the world is crowded, you realize that the hardest miles are the ones you have to walk by yourself.

Philippines Local Celebrities Fave Scents Part 17

 At long last, I have taken the initiative to enhance my blog with a new post featuring popular local celebrities and their preferred fragrances.   It is no secret that my passion lies in the realm of perfumery and cologne.   Given the opportunity, I would undoubtedly amass a distinguished collection of authentic scents to adorn myself on various occasions, be they mundane or momentous.   To clarify, while my current assortment includes a modest selection of genuine branded fragrances, the majority consists of timeless classics that continue to captivate my senses.   More specifically, my current inventory predominantly comprises locally sourced scents acquired in Thailand, complemented by a small selection of imitation products.   

This is the new fave scent of Ruffa G. as she mentioned it to her one of the interviews online. As it is also the signature scent of Lorin, her daughter.
