GOING SEVENTEEN

2015 since I started drooling over these guys, I cannot stress this enough BUT you are missing things out if you have not spazzed them yet. Seventeen as their name is one of the misconceptions people mistakenly thought on how many members they truly have. 13 members + 3 units + 1 group = SEVENTEEN. I will briefly describe them because it is your part now to stalk about them. I remember that one time where I am having a hard time memorizing their names not only because of their numbers, but due to their faces which are seemingly identical. As time passed by, I am hooked up with their songs, how the lines perfectly delivered to its harmony and rhythm. For your information, Seventeen is one in the K-pop industry who produced their own music and choreographed their dance performances. This group consists of these units as mentioned a while ago: Performance Team (S.coups, Mingyu, Wonwoo, and Vernon), Vocal Team (Jeonghan, Joshua, Woozi, DK, and Seungkwan), and Hip-Hop Team (Hoshi, The8, Jun, and Dino). The performance team is primarily assigned to the choreographies which leads by Hoshi. As per vocal team, their lead, Woozi is responsible for producing music. They do some acapellas at times where their vocals in the team separately manifested. We also have hip-hop team who is assigned to the raps where they write their own verses in every songs they produced and will produce. They are labeled by different positions which represents their roles; one thing I love most about them are: oozing visuals, diverse talents, and well-mannered people to everyone. Please stream Going Seventeen, one of the reality shows they film where they showcase their other sides behind the camera - stream the group as a whole. I will not state anything about them anymore, it is great when you discover new things about them by yourselves. One thing I will assure is you will not regret anything. Saranghae, sebong!!! Remember, we are born to dare, not to stare! PS: Carat is the fandom name of Seventeen, proud to be one!

Love you, ciao!

SKY RANCH

Why Sky Ranch? Why not? These two are one of the reason to be there! I’ll give you an inside information, but please appreciate these two. Sorry, I just can’t get over them, they are really cute! They are one of those mascots roaming around the area and I couldn’t be more thankful to my friend for taking this photo. I really love this!

Sky Ranch Tagaytay is located at Nasugbu Highway, Kaybagal South, Tagaytay, Cavite Philippines (all the way up, google!). It is an amusement park that offers less a hundred for an entrance fee (around two US dollars) which is well-known in the area. They welcome kids and kids at heart, also a perfect place for couples who loves games and rides. Since Tagaytay is famous from it’s cold weather, there are many coffee stalls beside the area. There are also Filipino delicacies offered inside it so what else would you expect?

If you want to take pictures, aesthetically, this is the place for you. The place is indeed colorful, it’s an amusement park, after all. Yes, just wait! There’s more! Aside from rides, bright-colored food stalls, and eye-catching game booths, you can also see the top-view of Taal Volcano. It is said to be one of the group of small volcanoes you can find in the world. Yes, it is still active! After taking pictures, should you be worried on your kid’s merriment? No, because they offer rides exclusive for youngsters. (I rode in these rides ‘cause I can’t do the adult ones, it was giving me headaches - please don’t laugh at me) Rides are not that huge as how you pictured it would be, but it was perfect for your family, friends, and love ones. Another one, food is not a problem, yeeey! As what I’ve said, there are coffee stalls beside the area where restaurants are also located, you have variety of choices depending on your cravings so it’s not an issue. If it happened you don’t want something there, you can drive the road and find nearby restaurants which is a good choice to escape. Souvenirs or pasalubong, a Tagalog term, seeks no trouble! Nay-nay! As you enter the place, you will be seeing lots of stalls selling Filipino delicacies and product made from the Philippines. So what are you waiting for? Enjoy!

Why you should be here? It’s not that far from Manila (capital of the Philippines - an hour and a half journey), it’s not that pricey, it’s convenient for everyone, foods are superb, weather is not a problem, and the people are caring and approachable.

Tip: Bring blazer, jacket, hoodie or anything that will keep you warm just still slay your fashion! 

Please stay safe and do things that will make you happy. We are born to dare, not to stare!

Love you, ciao!

ROSES

It’s not materialistic, it’s love.

Each generation would always tag roses or any other flowers as something that a man should give to his special someone. It was labeled as something of a “requirement” where it became essential to every couples in every occasion. I wanna break it off by saying, it’s not a prerequisite to have a girl, instead a supplement to feel the love you offer.

Flower is a true form of beauty and intimacy, but it will never guarantee confirmation. As how famous flowers are, everyone should always look after the message of it. It should be given by choice or with good grace not as something to show-off. Moreover, practice giving it not occasionally, do it when you feel you wanna do it. Roses are not only for your girlfriend, fiancé, or wife, these are for everyone including your mom, dad, and other love ones that you truly admire. It symbolizes love, and when it’s love, it has no boundaries. Give what you can offer, strengthen the bond while it’s still there. It’s not a sin nor a crime, it’s something we should value to teach the future.

When we received one, we don’t see it as something you just did. We see it as a form of love and respect from someone who actually also deserve it. It gives us different feeling, more of a pleasure and tranquility. This is the only thing on earth that will leave you speechless except from the word “aww”.

Roses are more than chocolates or stuffed toys, it makes us feel beautiful. Ladies bloom the finest when they are holding one where you can see the fulfillment or satisfaction in their eyes. It’s not materialistic when someone wanted it, it’s a representation of love which everyone can offer.

Before ending this blog, I am grateful to my boyfriend who gave me white roses, in a reason of, it suits me well and he believes that my whole being is pure. (I just asked him and yes I know, it’s cheesy more than I thought!) It’s still love though, I love you so much!

Hope you are all safe and not hungry! Remember, we are born to dare, not to stare!

Love you, ciao!

CARLA

Yes, that’s the name! I’ll be showing you off my avatar which Facebook introduced a month ago. No, I am not wearing glasses, but I am probably wearing mask. For your information or for the next generation who will be reading this post, the world is experiencing world crisis so the avatar is a good nudge to anyone who is not following safety protocols! I am from the Philippines who loves to scribble wherever I want, it’s one of the hobbies I can’t let go. I started this blog five years ago and I don’t have plans to end this the way everyone’s doing  — deleting. What can you expect about this blog? Read more!

Aside from writing, I spend my leisure time dancing and wondering about what it looks like from the other borders. If you can name it, wanderlust could be a term. At the twenties age, we are more into exploration, messing things up, and regretting what we’ve always do. Perhaps, we enjoy these crazy scenarios which we often say “we young, we learn from mistakes”. Naming this blog as Carla Chronicles is my timeline as how I enjoy/detest my life, everyday. You will be with me through out my journey, mistakes, decisions, and even humoristic adventures. This is for anyone who may waste their time reading from a broqué ninja gal situated in western pacific, kidding aside.

So, hey! May we all be safe and not hungry! Looking forward on our collaboration or whatever you suggest, just stay whatever you want to be. Remember, we are born to dare not to stare!

Love you, ciao!
