Hello

I've been living through this album... huhu

I'm sorry Lady Gaga but right now, may kapantay ka sa trono hahahaha.

So far, ito na yung album na paulit-ulit kong pinapakinggan since Artpop came out last 2013 (or pwede ring Cheek to Cheek (2014). What a feat. Akala ko Lady Gaga na lang papakinggan ko forever haha.

So far, ito na yung mga album na ever since, paulit-ulit ko talagang pinapakinggan:
1. 25 - Adele
2. Artpop - Lady Gaga
3. Cheek to Cheek - Lady Gaga & Tony Bennett
4. What Did You Think Was Going To Happen - 2am Club

Amazing. HAHA.

Asleep

Finally, I think social media has taken its toll on me. And there's no greater satisfaction in the past few days than clicking the x button of my Twitter tab or my Facebook tab. Or baka nag-iinarte lang ako. Bilang wala naman akong proper routine for working, usually, most of the time I end up browsing through my feeds. But then there's a point na umay na umay na ako sa stupid people posting stupid thoughts about stupid things. Meron ding mga nagmemerong people posting about their fallacious arguments. People defending candidates. People attacking presidentiables. Mali-mali naman 'yung arguements. People posting a tweet to show how they know things. Or people posting tweets to show how they know nothing at all. Nakakaumay.

And because of that, I have come to a solution for myself. And for the past few days it's been working naman. It gave me peace, of not hating, of not judging, of simply taking advantage of the internet (for work, for information, for other stuff).

Solution number 1:
After checking my notification (and replying if needed), I simply close the website.

Solution number 2:
For Facebook, I simply open www.messenger.com for important messages.

Solution number 3:
If there's a big urge to browse my feed or simply not to miss out important family updates, I make sure one or 2 scrolls should be made (since important/relevant issues are on top). Then close the window.

Solution number 4:
Tweet like once or twice a day lang. Tweet important thoughts. Hindi yung pagbinalikan mo sila after a year or two, di mo gets kung tungkol saan 'yon. Hay.

So far so good.

Ang dami kong alam pero sukang-suka na ako sa pagiging judgmental ng mga tao. Sa pagiging know-it-all. Sa pagiging opinyonada. Ayos lang maging opinionated pero nakakasuka na. Ang nega. Hay. Hindi ko naman maiwasan mag FB kasi minsan may trabahong nakakabit dito.

Balik na lang ako sa pakikinig kay Adele. Or sa pagbabasa ng Sherlock Homes (which I started yesterday!) Or sa pagtatrabaho talaga haha.

Love na love kita!

Haaay, bakit ikaw ang pinakagusto ko!??? Hay Grey's Anatomy. Kahit forever ka pang ipalabas sa buong buhay ko papanoorin kita. Bakit bawat episode, naeexcite ako. =D

What to do? What to do?

Hi everyone. I am so bored. As in sobra. Dami ko nang tinry basahin na libro, dami ko nang pinapanood na kung anu-ano including **** haha. Pero parang bored na bored pa rin ako. Pati pagkain, umay na umay na ako. Kaya napilitan akong bumili ng Red Ribbon cake kanina. Para naman may ibang mangyari sa araw na 'to.

I've been watching new series this week. And ang iba, sobrang gusto ko. For example, You're The Worst was something I would really binge watch. Nanood na naman ako ng Grey's Anatomy, especially yung favorite episode ko (season 6, episode 6). Also watched a new series Hand of God. Hehe. SOBRANG BORED PUCHA. HAHA.

Kbye.

untitled sept 9

Rehearsal Day 2 for me today. Had some part time work for patenting, and my client meeting was moved to tomorrow. So I had extra time "actually" cleaning the room. And napagkasya ko lahat ng libro ko sa iisang part ng bookshelf, wooh! haha.

Had rehearsals at night. Medyo uneventful kasi hindi naman ako sumalang, pero at least napanood ko na lahat ng scenes ko. As usual, stealth mode na naman ako :)

RMT

Random stuff:

1. After how many months, nakapagsulat na naman ako today sa Happiness Journal ko haha. Dahil nga naglinis ako, nakita ko na naman siya. Gusto ko na ulit maging happy. Joke haha.

2. Nagulat naman ako sa emails for my part time job. Yung totoo, parang yung mga tanong sakin kanina, parang full time pa ren!? So, nakakahiya tuloy at dinecline ko ung isang project kasi naman, pag inaccept ko siya, parang nagfufull time pa rin ako? :)) haha, anyway, may times talaga na magiging mas malaki pa su-swelduhin ko sa part time rate kesa nung full time pa ko :)) yun nga lang, walang benefits like 13th month pay, etc.

Murakami kind of night

I feel like writing again tonight.

Ngayon, babalik na naman ako sa isang normal na araw. My vacation streak has come to an end. My Caramoan-Coron-Boracay streak was a first in my life. Hindi ko inaasahang every 2 weeks, may mapupuntahan akong iba-ibang lugar. Well, na-book ko na talaga yung Coron and Boracay last year. Pero that Caramoan trip was a surprise. So, in-enjoy ko na lang lahat. :) Saktong sakto, kaka-resign ko lanh sa work a week or so before our Caramoan trip so saktong sunod sunod na bakasyon.

One destination with my parents. Another with my best of college friends. And the last one with my ever so adventurous roommates. :) What a perfect month and a half I had.

But then here I am again. Kakauwi ko lang galing sa rehearsal (at first time nakapag-run, at last). And napamuni na naman ako kung anong klaseng araw ang meron ako today. What a normal day.

This morning, kakarating ko lang from Bicol. Again, first time kong dumating sa Bicol on a morning, then balik agad sa gabi. In a way, nakakalungkot yung thought na ganon kasi parang dumaan lang ako sa bahay, so I realized how alone my parents are sa Naga. But that's another topic. :)

So pagkarating ko kanina from Bicol, natulog lang ako since more than 24 hours na akong di nakakahiga sa kama. I needed to lie down.

Today was pretty much uneventful. Spent the day alone. Went so SM Marikina to get something. Had breakfast alone, lunch alone, and dinner alone. Tried to contact some clients. Fortunately, may good as close client ako for today, then may imi-meet naman tomorrow.

Now, I'm sounding like Murakami. Nag-eenumerate ng ka-mundane-an sa buhay. (Naalala ko tuloy yung Colorless by Murakami, which is DEPRESSING and konti na lang, mahahalintulad ko na sa bida yung situation/feeling ko...) But that's it. Na-realize ko lang. I am alone today. These days. Haha.

Right after rehearsal, lumabas agad ako sa RMT. Without anyone else noticing significantly. Parang aninong dumaan lang. There was no one to wait for. No one to go home with. Haha. And so, pagkarating na pagkarating ko, I opened my laptop and just started writing.

I feel dead. I feel lost. I feel empty. (Yes, nagpapaka poetic na naman...)

Masyado ko atang na-exhaust energy sa mga bakasyon. And at the end of the day, there is no one to talk to. No one to tell my secrets. No one to tell my day. Hehe. I feel alone. Pero hindi naman lonely. Sanay naman na ako maging alone. Napansin ko lang hehe.

Idagdag ko pa yung panaginip ko kanina... -.-

Ikaw, how was your day? Malakas ang ulan kanina. May kulog at kidlat. I kept on looking at the theater entrance. But there was no sight of you.

Third

Disclaimer

You know, I really want to talk to you. Pero, minsan kasi, natatakot ako... Ayoko na lahat ng sasabihin ko, makakarating sa iba. Gusto ko sayo lang. Gusto ko lahat ng sasabihin ko, ikaw lang makakaalam. Kaya siguro hindi kita kinakausap. Kasi ayokong malaman ito ng kung sino pa man. I am still wishing for it to happen. :)

For the past days, I'm starting to think again about you. Not like in the past. But more of just thinking how you are. I need the interaction. (Yes, my tweet.) So, there. Disclaimer lang. Gusto ko ng confirmation. Ng signal. Anything. :)

Honesty Post

Bigla ko na lang naisip. Na magsulat ulit tungkol sa'yo. Tutal, wala naman nang halos nakakaalam nito maliban sa'yo. Bigla na naman akong na-excite na magsulat para sa'yo.

I still feel the same. After almost a year, gusto kitang yakapin. Although, siyempre may nag-iba na. Gusto kitang halikan. Oops. Haha. Gusto kitang iuwi. Oops. Gusto kitang isubo. Joke. Hehe. 'Yun lang. 'Yun lang naman. Hahaha. Ang sarap eh. Haha.

WTF am I writing??? Haha.

Feeling ko, pagmag-isa lang tayo sa isang kwarto, kung ano nang nangyari. Hahaha. Hahaha. Hehe.

OK Bye na. Hahaha.

My CORONicle!

Finally! A new blog entry solely for traveling! After months of waiting, I finally saw the paradise that is Coron! Went there with my college friends Joie and Aianne. Here are the details of basically everything you may have to know if you want to go to Coron.

MNL-USU with college friends!

First, we stayed there for 4 days and 3 nights (August 21-24, 2015). We were actually worried because it was really rainy in Manila and I thought it was not really good pushing through with this 4-day vacation. At the same time, ito rin yung mga panahong parating nasa balita iyong namatay na turista sa Coron dahil daw sa poisoning ng isang stone fish. But anyways, we shouldn't miss this after months of waiting!

Advisable months? December to March? I think so.

DAY 1:
Our flight was 8:10am. Arrived there at Busuanga Airport around 9am. Surprisingly, may nakaabang na sa amin na transportation form the airport up to the Coron Town. Apparently, most of the hotels and guest houses there reserve in advance private vans for transporation. This costs PhP 150 for each person. Plus points for Coron Backpacker Guesthouse dahil hindi talaga namin inexpect na may nag-aabang na samin na van. Or maybe, nakalimutan ko lang na nagpareserve na sila. After arriving at Coron Backpacker, nagpahinga na muna for awhile. We were really unsure what to do next since the weather was not good: kept on raining. Pero, sige, adventure na rin lang. Tinuloy na namin ang mga pwedeng gawing activities.

First stop for day 1 is the island hopping tour. Kung nasa isang hotel ka, alam na nila yan kung sinong tatawagan para bigyan ka ng tour. We took the TOUR B of a travel and tours company that they gave us. To start the tour we had to go to the port by tricycle. Yes, tricycle is the main mode of transportation, bukod sa van na papuntang airport. And most of tricycle rides should cost you Php 10.

Go to the main port. Then sasakay kayo sa isang bangka together with other tourists. Maximum number of tourists in a boat, siguro mga 16, together with 4 tour guides and crew. Good thing about this tour ay may kasamang lunch buffet sa isang islang, pinakapaborito ko!!! Unli rice, fish, liempo, fruits, salad, etc. depende kung anong menu nila.

look at the food! unli buffet! this was actually from Day 2 TOUR A, but you get my point, lunch was delicious!!! (with new friends!)

Tour B consists mainly of island hopping, snorkeling, swimming sa lakes. Highlights of that day were Twin Lagoon/Hidden Lagoon and Barracuda Lake.

At the Twin Lagoon, before entering the Hidden Lagoon. Actually the Hidden Lagoon is one of the twin lagoons. And if it's low tide, you can pass underneath rock formations. Pag high tide, dadaan kayo sa isang man-made stairways. The passageway is at the top of that pic.

Day 2:
Our tour for day 2 is still island hopping and swimming (TOUR A). But the highlight for me in this tour are: Kayangan Lake and the Reef Garden.

View before arriving at Kayangan Lake. Yes, bago ka makapunta sa Kayangan Like, may aakyatin ka pang stairway.

Actually, kahit anong islang tour ang kunin ninyo, ok lang. But you have to make sure na mapuntahan ninyo iyong mga sinabi kong highlights. Kasi yan yung dapat wag palampasin. So if you have other combination of tours, it's ok as long as mapuntahan ninyo yung main attractions.

After the Tour A, you can opt for City Tour. Just tell a tricycle driver kung gusto mo ng city tour. It costs us Php 100. You can go to Lualhati Park, the Church, etc.

Lualhati Park (part of City Tour)

Day 3:
Since we had enough of the island tours already (although you can still go for more island tours!) we decided to remain on land this day. We climbed Mt. Tapyas and went to Maquinit Hot Spring (Php 200 entrance fee + PhP 300/trike for transpo back and forth na). Actually ok na maulan yung pagpunta sa hot spring, kasi maganda yung feeling na nasa hot spring ka then umuulan. Love it! Although, mejo nakakapagod siya kasi pag matagal ka na sa hotspring, feeling mo nagwork out ka, feeling mo pagod na pagod ka. Pero napakaganda ng feeling after :)

Climbing Mt. Tapyas. From sobrang init sa baba, habang pataas ka nang pataas, sobrang lakas na ng hangin!

View from Mt. Tapyas, the whole of Coron Town. 

To go up Mt. Tapyas, you have to survive a total of 721 steps. Saktong cardio lang!

Food:
Hindi kami masyado nagtipid when it came to food. We ate at the usual known restaurants along the main road of Coron Town. We had our dinners at Kawayan seafoods and Santino's (with free jam sessions). Nag-karaoke din with a bit of drinks sa R2R. Lunch namin, sa tour na kasama. Breakfast we had sa isang karinderya sa main road and also sa Lolo Nonoy's. Usual prices of food/meals are Php 100 above.

Other Stuff:
Actually kung wala ka na magawa talaga, you can just walk around Coron Town's main road. Maliit lang ang Coron Town so you can just look for shops and other restos along the main road. All is there.

So there's our 4-day vacation. Yung 4th day, wala na rin, travel na lang siya eh haha!

Weee! Next next week, Boracay with college roommates naman!!!

Control, control

Hello everyone! Matagal tagal na naman akong hindi nagparamdam. It's either sobrang nakakatamad lang talaga magsulat or di kaya naman ay masyadong busy na talaga! :) Napakaraming nangyayari na for the past 2 months! Nasa kalagitnaan na pala kami ng aming creative musical theater workshop sa PETA. At napakalungkot kasi hindi ko nararamdaman ang pagtakbo ng oras. Masyado kong ineenjoy kaya sobrang napakadali ng takbo. Dalawang linggo na lang, showcase na namin.

Siyempre, bukod sa lahat ng mga natututunan ko sa workshop, ang pinakamagandang nangyari dito ay ang makakilala ng mga bagong kaibigan. Sa loob ng isang buwan, nakakilala ako ng 21 na bagong mga kaibigang may kapareho kong hilig at nagbuwis ng pera (haha) para dito. Malaking bagay ito na makakilala ako ng katulad nila.

Bagaman sa umpisa umiral yung pagka judger ko, dahil siguro iba-iba talaga kami ng wavelength or di kaya ay iba talaga kami ng mga ideya pagdating sa teatro at pagtatanghal, ngayon ay mas nakilala ko na sila.

At dahil signature naman na ng blog ko na ito na magkwento ng mga kaartehan ko sa pag-ibig o usaping puso, kaya isesegue ko na yung natitipuhan ko ngayon na kasapi sa workshop. HUHU. yun na lang muna haha.

Matagal-tagal na rin akong nagbabalewala ng mga bagay-bagay tungkol sa usaping puso mula nang itigil ko ang kahibangan ko sa isang lalakeng sinaktan ang puso ko kamakailan lamang. At mula noon, hindi ko talaga sineseryoso ang paghahanap ng isang taong magbibigay ng inspirasyon sa akin, o kaya naman ang paghahanap ng makakasama. Ayoko muna. Masyado akong nasaktan para mag-isip pa muli ng mga bagay-bagay na ganoon.

Pero heto ako... basang-basa sa kilig. charot. corny. Well, actually, basang-basa sa kilig talaga. Pero joke lang. Masagwang pakinggan.

(Grabe narealize ko, pang-apat na ata tong lalaki na 'to na naikwento ko sa blog na to. Jusme. Ang Kasaysayan ng Aking Pagkasawi. ok back to topic.)

As I've said, ayoko munang mag-isip ng usaping puso. Kaya nga ako nagpapakabusy/nagworkshop/nagtatrabaho. Gusto ko ng fresh start. Pero pano kung sa fresh start na ito, eh mukhang makikilala ko na naman ang bagong kaibigang baka nama'y aking mapusuan. Hahaha. Wtf is happening with my wordings right now.

Pero dahil ayokong mag-dwell masyado patungkol sa kanya, isang statement muna ang iniisip ko: Mahirap na ngang kalabanin ang iba para makuha mo ang taong gusto mo, pano pa kaya kung kakalabanin mo ang Diyos. Huhuhu. You don't do that. :( Pano kung mas mahal niya ang paglingkod sa Diyos kaysa magkaroon ng special someone.

Ok. Yan ang pinag-iisipan ko. Hahaha.

Sa ngayon, nurture the friendship. Pausbungin. Haha. Enjoy the moments. Enjoy the last 2 weeks, bago pa siya bumalik sa pinanggalingan niya (Cebu) :(

This is so hard. Pero ok lang. HAHAHA

...

Singing off.

5th week!

Today marks my 5th week in getting into gym. And I satisfied with the results, if there are any already. Haha. I started at 171 lbs (without calibration daw, so baka 166 lbs lang talaga). And now, I weighed about 166 lbs (or 161 lbs). Not so sure with the data. Pero hindi muna ako mag-eexpect ng ok na result since one month pa lang naman. Moro has been great for me. At first, I was really shy and intimidated of some sort. Pero as I get along, nababawasan na rin yung pagkahiya ko kasi people get our intentions. Halos pare-pareho lang pala ang naggym dito kaya I feel comfortable na. This week, I'll try to gym almost everyday na and balak na palitan yung program ko. Mas intense na siguro.

Weee! Improvement!

2015 is the year!

Hello everyone! It's been a while again. First post for 2015, yey! And as promised in my previous entry, all succeeding entries will be filled with fun, awesomeness and all positivity that I can muster. Let's get to business.

Tagaytay

Pahinay-hinay muna. As I've said, I want to travel a lot starting this year. Kahit pakonti-konti lang. Kahit sa malalapit lang na lugar. Basta I want to travel as much as possible. And for my first stop, I, with some of my ECE friends will go to Tagaytay this Thursday. Sinakto na lang din namin when the pope arrives here in the Philippines. I could have planned on seeing the pope pero na-realize ko na, for sure, napakaraming tao ang pupunta. And I am not a fan of crowd. So, I guess I'll resort to television. Pero sayang din, minsan lang pumunta ang pope sa Pilipinas. But anyway, I'll be there in spirit.

I am so excited. Actually, I am not sure if I've been to Tagaytay before. I guess I already did, but I have no memory. 23 years old na ako! pero wala akong magandang alaala sa Tagaytay! But this weekend, I'll just have fun! More of this, for sure, on my next blog entry.

Fitness!

Finally! I am back to be in shape and fit again, for the nth time! Last week, I enroled at Moro Gym at Ateneo (my second time to do so). This time with Yvonne. And I really do hope na ma-sustain ko na 'to. I'm tired of hearing myself complaining for so long, for stopping what I've started. I do hope this will be the last start of something I do for my health and fitness. Itutuluy-tuloy ko na 'to.

Last night's gym was so refreshing. Last time ko itong na feel, almost 2 years ago pa with Timmy. Hindi ko na rin itinuloy 'yung nutrition club with Jerome because I really think it's very expensive. Hindi kinaya ng budget ko. Fortunately, super mababait ang nag-a-assist samin sa Moro. And there's Karl to help me.

Loading...

So, I guess 2015 is having a good start. Sana ma-sustain. Please! Fucking clean slate.
