    Starting 2020 With a Blog

    Starting 2020 With a Blog




    Would it be too much if I blog everyday for 2020? Yup. It’ll be too much. Anyways, we lit up some firecrackers and blow torotots to cast away bad spirits as the elders would say. It changed, you know. This way of celebration greatly differs from how we used to celebrate the new years. Most of our doings became illegal to start of but yeah we used to light up really dangerous fireworks and stuff which I was never a fan of to be honest. I just like the soft lights and stuff.


    Mass at Sto. Domingo church



    We attended Mass just like we used to but we didn’t watch a movie or something. We used to watch another movie during New Year but yeah I’m kinda okay we didn’t because there’s actually no more movie that I want to watch from the MMFF entries. Well Miracle in Cell No. 7 but we probably won’t because my mom doesn’t want to watch stuff like that. Would just want to watch comedy all the time. 



    After the mass, we ate at Peri-Peri. We had chicken and ribs. It was okay but not really extra ordinary. That’s all! Happy New Year everyone.

    あけましておめでとう！

    December 30, 2019 0
    あけましておめでとう！


    2020. End of another decade. I mean, I know it’s all going too fast but man, this year passed by like a breeze. I have stayed in the Philippines for like 11 months now. I have been working for 6 months now and yeah, time just went by like that. I have so many things to be thankful for. I have been in 4 countries in one year. I mean, that’s the life, right? I can’t wait to be in 5 next year! I’m just kidding. Wait, am I? LOL. You know what though, I think I want to visit all the provinces in the Philippines because, I’m already here, right? Might as well! I’m gonna be 28 this year. Like, 28, ladies and gentlemen. OMG.



    Can I just share that it’s my first time tasting this and yeah not a fan. It’s too spongy for me. I feel like I can have something better at a cheaper price, you know what I mean? That’s all! I won’t be having resolutions because I always fail. One thing I would like to do is to drink lotsa water I think. My SGOT and SGPT levels are on the roof! Also my triglycerides! I can’t believe I’m already having tita problems when I’m not even a tita yet! Well I have one nephew but hey! Well it’s probably because I’m fat so yeah I’m kinda planning to eat less this year too.


    You know what I fear though? I just keep on getting fatter! Like I’ve never been able to find a photo where I’m fatter than I am now. So let me just share this photo because this might be the slimmest I’ll be or something. Hate it!!!! Totally not hating myself or something though just the thought of it makes me kinda annoyed. That’s all! Happy New Year!

    It’s Christmas Time

    It’s Christmas Time

    Sheraton Hotel 

    We went here to visit/guide my dad’s friends when they visited not so long ago. They had a very festive display like the Christmas tree above. 


    Robinson’s Place Manila

    They also went to a nearby mall to buy souvenirs to bring back home. There was also a very nice display going on there and we took some pictures with it. 


    Sheraton Hotel

    They also had/have something going on outside the hotel which is very nice. Festive. Christmas is kind of different nowadays don’t you think? We’ve been talking about it at work and yeah, everything is different now, for sure. I liked the old times better so to speak. My lolo and I would go to my ninongs and ask for AGUINALDO. Bless my lolo. I wouldn’t know right away if they’re home or like hiding somewhere. LOL. Thank you for always accompanying me when I was younger. Now people would just PM/send messages to their godparents. Where’s the thrill? I remember being so happy receiving new bank notes from my ninongs! MALUTONG PA! Now, mamamasko nalang namemresyo pa! Wow ha! Not from personal experience though. Just saw it on Facebook. Bless my inaanaks! 


    We went to Clover Leaf Mall to watch The Mall the Merrier. The movie was actually very easy to watch. I like it. Nothing too heavy and yeah, I guess it’s either I like it very easy and like, very heavy. Anyways, watching movie has been a tradition to the family ever since. We don’t really celebrate Christmas/Eve anymore since my grandmother died. I mean, we used to but that kind of stopped. We just eat during Christmas Eve and on Christmas day, we just attend a mass and watch a movie afterwards. Not much of a celebration anymore I guess. It’s kind of sad though since I really miss that mini celebration we used to have. Like, relatives coming over and stuff. Carolers! We used to have a lot of them starting end of November up until January but now, I’ve only seen a couple. But oh well. My dad just passed and maybe that’s why it’s more depressing and stuff but it’ll pass. We’ll be back soon. 



    Merry Christmas, everyone! I hope you have a good one.

    The Passing of my Dad.

    December 24, 2019 1
    The Passing of my Dad.










    I knew that one day, I would have to face this scenario but come on, how could one ever prepare for this kind of loss. My dad passed on the midnight of the 12th. It was very shocking. I actually won’t go into details on that and what happened that day but yeah it happened. I’ve been with my dad for almost 21 years and it’s just sad to say goodbye. My dad is actually hospitalized the same day as we went to Korea. Not for like emergency thing though just for IV antibiotic therapy. But on the third day, I think dad had some kind of trouble breathing and everyone thought he’d be gone but he miraculously recovered. My dad was released the same day as we arrived back to the Philippines. He was weak at first but he kind of recovered. And then all of that came to an end two to three weeks later. My dad then refused to eat anything and was only drinking orange juice up until he passed. 










    My dad died of COPD. He smoked a lot when he was younger and I can’t help but warn people about what could happen to them if they don’t quit smoking. It’s kind of sad though. Like, the way my dad lived his last year was kind of sad because from bad, he got worst real quick and there’s nothing we can’t do about it. A week before he passed, he was always confused and can’t really talk properly. My dad was really smart so I know the thought was there but he’s probably not able to convey what he really wanted to tell and all but yeah. If there’s anything I regret doing, it’s probably not being able to spend more time with him than I should have. But I tried so I’m also kind of okay with that. 









    We’re all okay now. Not at the same level but we’re moving on, I guess. It’s been a rough week but we’re slowly going back on track and I guess the thought that he’s not in pain anymore is very relieving. I don’t really know what happens to the dead after life but hopefully he’s happy and know that he lived a very meaningful life and have touched hearts of people in his own ways. Like, can I just share one of the many things he thought me? To keep trying! Even if you fail so many times in life. JUST KEEP TRYING. That’s all!

    December Plans and Wishes

    December Plans and Wishes

    Already December 3 today! Can you believe it? What's up guys? It's already the last month of 2013 and I only have roughly 4 months left to spend in this country. So I thought I'd share my December plans with you. Not that I have a lot though LOL. 

    Christmas is just around the corner so I'm looking forward to our Christmas Party. It would be around mid December and since it's the first work-related Christmas Party that I would be attending to, I'm really happy. Although I have been told that we're just gonna eat outside and not really celebrate as in celebrate, I think it would still be something something. 

    I want to see UST at night. I don't know but there's really something about seeing it at night on Christmas season. It kind of removes the stress from my system and I love it. 

    UST Annual Paskuhan is also coming up and I wouldn't dare miss that! It would be my last time for a long time so I'm quite excited for that. My aim this season is to actually go and sit somewhere in front because dude we always stay at the back and I think the closest we got to watch is like mid section only.

    I am looking forward to Christmas as well. We'll go to the Church that's for certain and watch a MMFF entry probably and yeah looking forward to that.

    I don't know if I would be able to go to Bataan with fam to celebrate the dad's  birthday because of duties but most likely, not. But I still want to go there though. Just to relax and enjoy life a little bit. And if you haven't seen mu blog post about that, the sunset there is phenomenal. 

    Also, if lucky, I want to visit some falls which is like away from the city but not too far from here. It's not yet too mainstream so I want to get there before it's too late sort of. That's all for my December plans guys! It's not too much but I just want to share it with you. That's all guys. 

    And oh! One last thing before I go, I will try my very best to blog every other day this month. I'm doing good so far by blogging everyday! And hopefully I would be able to keep up with you as much as I managed to do for the first three days of this month so far. Alrighty.

    Pensieve.

    November 11, 2012 0
    Pensieve.

    And most of the time, we kind of feel hurt about it. I have talked so much about this kind of stuff, I know. But if you would stick to me all through out this, I would be very thankful. It would be very beneficial for me to actually share everything. Well not really share. And not actually everything. It's just that..Oh wells.

    Well let's just think about this blog as my PENSIEVE okay? Pensieve is actually a certain something in Harry Potter that you use to put your thoughts, and everything you have to into and yeah it just make things easier. You'll have a clearer mind, lighter, and probably better thinking because of the Pensieve that can help you unload all the stuff that you think are too much to handle. Just like what Dumbledore did. And Snape too.

    So moving on...

    Don't you just really really hate it when people don't stay the way you want them to become in your life? Not even their attitude. Like, your relationship with them. It's kind of frustrating to actually have someone in your life who you used to be friends with but for some reason/s, not anymore. Or even someone who you are always with and stuff but for some reason, you can't consider your friends? Maybe your colleagues? Acquaintances?  

    And they're not really your enemies because there's nothing that happened that will make them qualify on your list of enemies. Like, get it?

    You just feel like nothing happened. That you're back to being strangers. But with some memories. Kind of weird. We used to be reminded not to talk to strangers as a child.

    I GUESS IT'S JUST THAT SAD ALL OF A SUDDEN MOMENT.

    I just find it really really odd how people can just ignore you after all the moments and memories you've shared together. Especially when it's like a big deal for you and it's just nothing to them. It's kind of unfair but somehow amazing how people's mind run. It really proves that we all kind of think differently. Like, even though there are sometimes when we just connect and have that "OMG we think the same moment", it's just that there will always be that moment when we will think differently and all that.

    Moving on to the main person I want to talk about though, I'm actually pretty confident that we are close. We are friends. OR WERE. Maybe not TO DIE FOR close but we are pretty close. We used to talk about anything and everything under the sun every night and be awkward together. And we were happy. I guess.

    I'm not even talking about romance here. Like, just friends. Oh well. That's another story but whatever. I just want to focus on how everything sort of went to nothing. FOR WHATEVER REASON. I don't like it a whole lot.

    I would really appreciate it if that person would explain why and all that stuff. If there would be closure, then I wouldn't mind anymore. I know I kind of promised not to mind it anymore but you know, I just can't. I kind of failed I admit. But it's just that, for me, the friendship or whatever we had is just too precious to let go that easily. So it's kind of hard, really. It's gonna be easier I believe. But not right away. No. Please.

    DRAMA! Ano ba teh? Hahaha

    I don't know if I'm one of the few or one of the many who kind of feel this way right now but either way, I'm not alone. And just by thinking like that, I know this, will sooner or later be just a part of the past that we all have to let go and forget. Like, we don't have to think about this as a burden. Maybe it is to us right now. But in the future, we could just laugh about it and try to remember what happened.

    The good thing about the future is even though how much you try to plan it, once in a while there could be surprises. And that's what makes it beautiful.

    Who knows? That person and I might be united. We could just talk about anything again and be awkward together. Be friends or whatever. Much like the Pensieve, I can always recall what happened and be enlightened. When needed.

    But for now, I just want to let go of everything. Yeah. That's what I want. :)
