Hi! I'm Christine, a 23 year old dreamer from Manila. I am also a quote collector, yoga advocate, frustrated traveler and food enthusiast (mostly for cheese, Italian food and sweets). For a living, I find people a place to call home.Questions?Comments?Musings?

If you are a dreamer, come in.
If you are a dreamer, a wisher, a liar
A hoper, a pray-er, a magic-bean-buyer
If you're a pretender, come sit by my fire
For we have some flax golden tales to spin. - Shel Silverstein

"Choosing a path meant having to miss out on others. She had a whole life to live, and she was always thinking that, in the future, she might regret the choices she made now. “I’m afraid of committing myself,” she thought to herself. She wanted to follow all possible paths and so ended up following none. Even in that most important area of her life, love, she had failed to commit herself. After her first romantic disappointment, she had never again given herself entirely. She feared pain, loss, and separation. These things were inevitable on the path to love, and the only way of avoiding them was by deciding not to take that path at all. In order not to suffer, you had to renounce love. It was like putting out your own eyes not to see the bad things in life."
Paulo Coelho, Brida
"Se llega a un punto en que no hay nada más que la esperanza, y entonces descubrimos que aún lo tenemos todo.
It goes over to a point in which there is nothing more than hope, and then we discover that we still have everything."
Jose Saramago
"Dreamers can never be tamed."
Paulo Coelho, Aleph
"Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact you must give it to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements. Lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket, safe, dark, motionless, airless, it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. To love is to be vulnerable."
C.S. Lewis, The Four Loves
"If you don’t know where you are going, any road will get you there."
Lewis Carroll
