I remember during my freshman year in high school, I saw a batch of seniors who were standing in neat rows under the heat of the sun. They looked cool in their combat boots and fatigue, except, they were more like puppies to me than soldiers. They're pretty good at obeying commands. S…

Sarah, we care about you and the memories you share here. We thought you'd like to look back on this post from 8 years ago. Damn! I hope Facebook will stop "caring" because On This Day memories usually remind me of the bad decisions I made, people I'm no longer intere…

One thing I hate about driving is getting through traffic. So I rely on music to stretch my patience and keep my cool. Right now, if there's one thing I get excited about driving, it's going to be this:

My 3rd year high school Math teacher forced me to join our school's Math Olympics for two reasons: 1. I detest Math and/because I'm bad at it. 2. And he knows it. Right after the competition, when I went up the stage, the faculty head who pinned the gold medal on me uttered, …

I MADE THE SWITCH. I am now trying to live a plastic free life. I know it won't be drastic because plastic has been practically in every part of our lives (some even disguise themselves as friends). It won't be easy to ditch plastic completely but we'll get there. Baby steps…

I got these sandals because I fell in love with it at first fit (it's reeeeally comfy). Then only to realize that being a sneaker worshipper, this is downright blasphemy and I honestly do not know what to do with it.

You know what's funny? It's when you know you can write a 2-page, single-spaced in-depth analysis of the space-time continuum with your eyes closed but you have to turn to Google to help you compose a single line on  how to accept an invitation. This is not my first time to be…

I know it's totally against my character to watch sloppy action-fantasy shows but I can't believe I have finished two seasons of Shadowhunters in two days which just shows what a big loser I am. I know it's quite a bummer but at least it frees up some of - what I'd like to…

Yesterday, I took Bill to the casa* for a PMS and I remember having this kind of conversation with a friend:

Jan and I have been eyeing Dahilayan for a long time. But since we see transportation a potential problem (going to Bacolod or Cebu was easier), it always gets to the bottom of our must-visit list. But not until we had Bill . Manolo Fortich in Bukidnon is by far our  Jan's longe…

So it's been four years and I'm trying to come up with a decent entry for this day. I think I'm done with these cheesy posts after the Avengers: Infinity War left me feeling so empty because Loki died in the first ten minutes of the movie (I don't care if you'd kill m…

Here's how we've been spending our weekends: Somewhere cold and at least 1,000ft above sea level. And most probably, the incoming weekends too. I feel giddy whenever Jan sends me an email because it only means one thing: travel. Last week, he told me to check my email, and…

How many hair disasters will it take for me to stop messing with my hair?

It's been like a day and I feel like I should have moved on by now, but I can't. I just can't. This is kind of surprising because "horror" movies don't scare me at all. Sorry, Jan. I'm not the type of girl that you can take to a horror movie so I can bury mys…

I’m not claiming to be an interesting person but new and seemingly interesting things happened lately. Plus, I need more entries for this blog, so here goes.

I knew I should have just rolled this Gov. Gen. and Mati trip into one long  blog post . I realized that after coming home late at night from a 2-leg road trip and waking up really early the next day for Easter Sunday service, I'm too drained to churn out something coherent.

I don’t feel so good about myself, and I don’t think my body likes me much. The brain hasn't really been active at night but I'm still fazed how its idleness can still keep me awake at night. I haven't had enough sleep daily for the past month. This isn't new. And usua…

Being in a relationship with Jan taught me that men who are not vocally expressive have surprising and, I would say, better ways of expressing their love. Situation 1: Me: Grabe mga nahitabo karong adlawa. Makagawas ka? I need to destress . (Things didn't go well today. Can you go …

I've seen quite a number of posts from different bloggers where they show contents of their bag. I got intrigued with my own and decided to spill goo too. And also, this was suggested by a dear reader. :)

One of the reasons why I never wore a ring or a nail polish is because I do not want to draw attention to my ugly man hands. I never really liked my hands. I've got big knuckles, probably from the knuckle-popping which I am so fond of since fourth grade. I've got big veins that …

Right now, I am writing this blog 1076 kms from where I usually write while I try my very best to sum up my most relaxing vacay, yet. I love that we didn't have to wake up early in the morning and cram as many activities as we can to seize the day. We have more than enough days …

And down to the turtle's throat. I remember the time when I attended one of my close friends' wedding, I was asked to hold one of the dozen balloons that was to be released into the sky. I shook my head frantically and blurted with some diffidence, " Dili ko. Environmentali…

I had an amazing long weekend at my favorite beach in Dahican. But laziness reared its ugly head in and, as usual, I didn’t take any interesting photos. Well, except for this: Dahican is love. No filter needed. This Mati trip is just the first of my many beach getaways this 2018.�…
