On Writing

When not much NEW things happened around you, there isn't much to write about either. See, maybe that's the problem. The never ending cycle of home and work somehow deprived me of other "human experiences". Of course, there are things (exciting and awful) that happen while I am at work. But these things, they are not worth writing about. They are part of the job. Simple as that. Other than work, the only thing that I do these days is the groceries once every two weeks, have dinner with Gelo or my mom once in a while and every Saturday, I oversleep, watch TV and do other things I missed during weekdays. That's it basically. So what is it to share about?

I was reading my old blog posts and realized that most of them were results of being more productive than these, of experiences with friends, of college adventures and of learning through failures because I have so much time to experiment and be stubborn. The things posted (although some of them are rants and some of them doesn't really make sense) are bits and pieces of wonderful experiences and important realization. Things I do not experience much now. Things I do not get to do and personal time which I barely have now.

To have something to write about, there must be some experience behind it or a purpose why something must be published. This will never be accomplished when the author is a little empty and perhaps bored with what she do.

Basyang, Mom and her plants

My mom never cease to surprise me with her antics. Last friday, we had a conversation about her "plants".

Mom: Nakakainis yung bagyo na yan, nakita mo? Namatay yung mga halaman ko.

Me: Ha? Yung nasa gilid ng bahay?
Mom: Hindi, yung tanim ko sa Farmville. 2 days walang kuryente diba?

^^,

When I was younger, I wanted to grow up fast. To finish college so I could start working and earn my money so I can buy things I like. If I knew then, what I know now, maybe I wouldn't be in such a hurry.

I miss being young. Like when I was a kid and my only concern was choosing toys or ice cream flavors. I miss being innocent and maybe ignorant. I miss the feeling of learning something new and discovering something I didn't knew before.

Sigh. When you are working things become different, whether you like it or not. No more excess time for fun. No more time to think about other things and less time to develop other skills. Sometimes it feels like I live, breathe and eat work. I love my work. But it's just that I miss the old times when I don't have to be so responsible and feel locked up.

Hay! Now I even suck at blogging! This used to be effortless. It used to be as easy as breathing. Now this feels so hard to do! Work's killing my creative side.

Must blog again

I missed blogging. :(

survived the storm

We weren't expecting that pinagbuhatan pasig would be in deep flood. hours of rain left us with no electricity and high level of muddy flood that almost reached the 1st floor of the house. we have water, but we cannot use the toilet as the bowl is clogged due to the flood and dirty water enters the shower drains . we cannot use the toilet nor the shower. for most of the time, we stayed at the 2nd floor of the house.for 2 days, we barely have cellphone signal. without electricity, we find it hard to know what's going on the streets and inform family and friends of our current situation. but we survived. this morning, we decided to evacuate the place. we hailed an improvised pedicab to bring us to mercedes/rustan, where it's not flooded. it's a disaster. people, youg and old are riding improvised boats, aerobeds, pedicabs. there were trucks who give free rides, a lot are walking-water almost waist deep. it took us an hour to reach mercedes/rustan. after that, we hailed a tricycle and jeepney to shangri-la.

Storm

And know everything will be alright

Project 30 - Practice Healthy Lifestyle

Today I started my "Healthy Eating Campaign". [hahaha]. Instead of "fried packed lunch" or eating instant noodles and binging on junkfoods, I decided to change the whole eating habit. For today, I prepared an Iceberg and Romaine lettuce salad, with a little dressing and chicken breast on top. Lunch is different but I'll definitely get used to it.

Project 30 - Things to do before I hit 30!

Here is the tentative list of the things I must do before I hit the age of 30.

- Asian Trip
- Cruise
- Wakeboarding
- Ziplining
- Learn to drive
- buy a car
- take a crazy roller coaster ride
- road trip
- museums
- oceanpark, ocean adventure,
- Savings
- dine at Circles / Spirals with family
- learn one musical instrument
- Fast car. Race. Street race.
- be nice. Pay for the fare of everyone riding the jeepney.
- buy SLR to capture all these great moments.
- concerts.
- Ace Water Spa
- Scuba Diving. get certification.
- Sing out of key and create my own album (just for fun)
- Earn master's degree.



...to be continued.

Crinkles Obsession

One early morning at the office, I felt so hungry. And so I visit Cafe Amadeo at Manila Doctor's Hospital's Business Center. The yummy crinkles caught my attention. And so I bought it. It's so delicious. it kept me high all day. And so the next day, I bought another pack. And the day after next. Now, instead of a daily dose of caffeine... I switched to crinkles.

Breathing (Lifehouse)

‘Cause I am hanging on every word you say
And even if you don’t want to speak tonight
That’s alright, alright with me
‘Cause I want nothing more than to sit
Outside heaven's door and listen to you breathing
Is where I want to be

Oh my!!!

I was charging Gelo's phone beside the laptop when I accidentaly brushed it. It fell from the table. Argh!!!! I thought the phone just hanged so I turned it off. But lo and behold, when I switched it on, the LCD's not working anymore. There's just light but the screen is blank! Hoooh! We switched phone and now it's gone.

For the record, for the last 4 years I either lost or destroy my phone. Lost my 7610 in September 2005 at SM Dasma. Lost another 1 (6670) in October 2006 at SM Dasma. Drowned the Motorola L6 at Charles Huang's toilet last August 2007. And now a Sony Ericsson, December 2008. 1 phone a year! I thought I would end the year without losing or destryong a phone. Hmf. Bummer.

It breaks your heart...

...when people you know became people you knew, when you can walk right past someone as if they were never a H U G E part of your life. you used to be able to talk for hours on the phone and now you can't even look each other in the eye. It completely breaks your heart to know good things change... and there's nothing you can do.
