Quiet wins and Horror films

So I went on a little “single edition” side quest today and took myself to the cinema for the first time.

I watched Lee Cronin's The Mummy and it was so good! The story, the music, and the tension really pulled me in. It did not rely too much on jumpscares, but it still felt intense in a quiet way.

What made it more special was doing it alone. At first it felt a bit new, but as the movie went on, I forgot about everything else and just enjoyed the moment. No pressure, no need to talk, just me being there.

It's a good reminder that I can enjoy things on my own and still feel full. I do not always need company to have a good time. There was a soft kind of happiness when I walked out of the cinema, (I was literally smiling!) like i did something for myself.

Good horror movie and my first solo cinema date.

To many more solo side quests!

Does it take losing someone for everyone to finally show up?

So we’re at my grandfather’s funeral, and it made me realize something.

I get to see all these faces, some familiar, some completely new, and there’s this strange mix of connection and distance at the same time.

I would say in my head, “these are my people,” but also… they’ve never really been part of my life.

It hits harder because it’s happening in a space that’s supposed to be about grief. Instead of just mourning, I'm also processing missed time, missed chances, and all the “we could’ve been closer” thoughts.

But at the same time, what we’re witnessing is also something deeply human.

People gather when it matters most—even if they didn’t before. Not always because they didn’t care, but sometimes because life just pulled everyone in different directions until something big forced them to pause.

Still, it doesn’t erase the sadness of it. It’s okay to feel that.

HIMYM THEORIES/RULES pt. 2

I realized I missed more than one rules from my first post, so here are some more of How I Met Your Mother Theories/Rules.

THE SETTLER & THE REACHER In a relationship, one partner usually reaches a bit more (the reacher) while the other is more content (the settler). Recognizing this can help you understand your dynamic better. My take: I think it’s better to be both the settler and the reacher, rather than just one or the other.

LEMON LAW (Dating Edition) If within the first 5 minutes you feel like the date is going nowhere, you can walk away—no need to drag it out hoping it gets better.

THE GRADUATION GOGGLES You start feeling sentimental about something you once disliked when it’s about to end. My take: This is relatable—it's harder to let go when you tend to focus on the good memories.

THE CHEERLEADER EFFECT People tend to appear more attractive when they’re in a group rather than alone.

THE NAKED MAN RULE A risky last move—using shock factor (stripping down when you think your date is failing) to create attraction. My take: Classic sitcom logic… not sure how well this works in real life.

THE AGE FORMULA RULE The “acceptable” minimum age is (your age ÷ 2) + 7. My take: Age gaps can be tricky—regardless of formulas, never involve minors.

THE DATE TIME CONTINUUM Don’t make plans too far into the future early in a relationship—it can create pressure and emotional imbalance. My take: I’ve seen this happen a lot. It’s better to communicate intentions early to stay aligned.

And there you have it—I’m on Season 9 now, and this is already my 4th rewatch 😅 I even went back to some episodes just to take notes on the theories, laws, and rules.

Anyway, if you guys have any HIMYM topics you want to talk about or want me to post next, just let me know!

Out of the ordinary café at City Hub Building ☕

I’ve been here a few times since it’s a bit away from the busy city center, so even on Saturdays, you can still find seats. I think they only opened around 2024, and the whole building has a quiet vibe. They also offer free Wi-Fi, making it a great spot if you want to study or work in peace. Prices are affordable, mostly ₱500 and below. Plus, they’ve got great selfie mirrors—so don’t be shy to snap a few pics! 📸

HIMYM THEORIES/RULES

As a fan of How I Met Your Mother, I’ve taken note of most of their theories and rules.

NOTHING GOOD HAPPENS AFTER 2AM “After 2AM, just sleep—decisions made then are usually bad.” My take: I relate. I used to get overly emotional late at night—oversharing, drinking, even picking fights.

THE MERMAID THEORY Someone you’re not attracted to can become attractive over time. My take: Makes sense—closeness builds feelings, but it can also mean weak boundaries.

HOT/CRAZY SCALE The “crazier” someone is, the more “hotness” people expect to balance it. My take: Not a fan—being “crazy” is something to work on, not justify.

THE PLATINUM RULE Don’t date people you see daily (coworkers, classmates, roommates). My take: I follow this—moving on is harder when you still see them.

THE LOBSTER SITUATION You want something more because you can’t have it—but it’s often disappointing once you do. My take: Very real—people tend to chase what’s forbidden or unavailable. I think it's somehow related to the scarcity effect (rare = more valuable), and dopamine-driven anticipation—we get more excitement from wanting than actually having.

THE DOBLER–DAHMER THEORY Romantic gestures are sweet if mutual ("Dobler"), creepy if not ("Dahmer"). My take: Mutual feelings matter before making a move.

THE HOOK THEORY One person keeps you for attention ("Hooker"); the other hopes it becomes real ("Hooked"). My take: I’ve been both—don’t use people for validation or wait on “maybe.”

What about you guys—what are your thoughts on these? Which ones do you relate to the most?

Other people are just as flawed as you. Other people make just as many mistakes as you do. Other people struggle too. Other people fail too. Other people have regrets too. Other people have insecurities too. Just because it isn't always visible on the surface, that doesn't mean other people aren't just as human as you. So don't compare the surface of their lake to the complex depths of your inner ocean just because you can't always see what's hidden under said surface. I promise that you aren't the only one who's human in every definition of that word.
