Today's such a difficult day for me. Thank God for friends. I would have been crazy if I were alone all the time. ^_^

Rainy days and nights won't get me down =)

It was pouring this afternoon and a chilly night is here in Manila. I have always loved the rain. It comes with a pang of pain and heaps of joy. Whenever it rains, the world seems brighter to me. Like, God cried for me and now I'm unburdened, or the streets have been swept and cleaned out of the Maker's mercy. Or simply because, those droplets represent tears, that I didn't have to shed myself. On the other hand, it's also kinda gloomy on the inside when the temperature goes lower and the surroundings seem way darker. You just realize that you are somehow alone, and that things would be better if there's someone there beside you.

Anyway, for tonight, I'll be sharing with you some of the things I pray and hope for.

Number 9. Claire~ I want to be as forgiving and faithful to God as Claire.
 [I ran out of space there and the last on my list is barely readable in the picture above!]

I hope to be a better person.

I am shouting it out to the rain!

HELP MEEEEEEEE Lord! ^_____________^

SMILE! 

Hello world! ^_^

This is my first post!

I'd like to introduce myself first. =)  It's the proper thing to do, right?

Call me Trijata. I'm your average person. You know, that random stranger you almost don't notice when you are ambling outside. I got this name from Ramayana. Well, back in college, I was assigned to study the character  "Trijata" and report about it. She is the demon keeper of Sita who happens to have a pure heart. I love her irony because despite being an evil creature, she kept good intentions. =) Her characterization left an impression on me and since then, I've been writing under her name. ^_^

This is inyaa's photo interpretation of Trijata. Credits to inyaa ^_^

On this blog, I will be writing about my penchants and fixations, my successes and frustrations. I will use this to be my own cyber Beulah, my own road to the yellow brick one. I wish to be broke no more. For to me, "being broke" connotes various implications, things beyond the financial or the economic. I wish to find myself beyond the confines of my wallet and my self-esteem. =) Sounds ambitious, doesn't it?

To be more specific, you can expect me to write about the following:

1. Saving money and being more spend-thrift
2. Frugal shop finds and frugal shopping
3. Discounts and sales
4. Personal stuff like what I've been doing, reading, watching, etc!
5. Poems and Short stories =)
6. Slice of life realizations and more!

I look forward to blogging more this 2012!
I hope you find some things of interest to you too here. =)


'Til next post! ^_^
