Yo! Hisashiburi! Walang-wala ako sa mood mag-post these days kaya ayun, inagiw na ‘to. Lol. Anyway, I’m back! So ayun, recap muna sa mga nangyari sakin.

Nung Tuesday, I took my annual physical examination (a company requirement) here in Makati with a bunch of peeps from the Finance dept. Ayun, naglakad kami from our office to Medical Plaza for around 30 minutes. I think nasa 1 kilometer rin yung layo nun. Nakakapagod daw. Kaya ambagal nila maglakad tss. Sabi ko sa kanila, ganun kahaba nilalakad ko everyday papuntang sakayan pag uwian at parang di naman nakakapagod. I told them na 15-minute walk lang yung ganung distance para sakin. Di lang sila sanay. Anyway, pagdating namin dun sa clinic, buti walang ibang tao. Kami agad yung naasikaso. Yung blood test twice kami kinuhaan: one for complete blood count and yung isa ay for fasting blood sugar. Nagulat ako andaming kinuhang dugo sakin nung nurse. Parang nanlambot nga ako 15 minutes after ako kuhaan eh. 5 hours lang kasi tulog ko tapos wala pang almusal. Edi malamang, talagang magiging lutang at medyo hilo ako. Nagsubmit din ako ng urine sample for urinalysis pero di ako nagbigay ng poop para sa fecalysis. No way dude. Di ko nga alam pano ako kukuha ng sample ng tae ko lol. I think di naman siya ganun kaimportante unless my gastrointestinal disorders ka. Wala naman akong ganun kaya I considered it only as something optional. Pagtapos nung examination, naghanap-hanap muna kami ng dental clinics na accredited ng healthcare service provider namin within sa plaza. Kaso wala naman pala. Sad. Almost 1 hour din yung nasayang namin don haha. Oh well, libreng gala naman kaya okay lang. Nagkwentuhan din pala kami habang naghihintay. Dami rin naming napag-usapan. Pero ako yung madalas na nahohot-seat tss. Wag niyo ako gawing topic, please. Wag niyo kalkalin ang lovelife ko kasi wala! Hahaha. Anyhow, pagtapos namin, rekta kain kami. Grabe andami kong inorder. Gutom na gutom ako! Actually, lahat pala kami. Walang imikan habang kumakain eh lol. Sa sobrang bigat ng kinain namin, nagpahinga muna kami ng around 30 minutes bago bumalik sa office. So ayun, yun lang yung ganap nung Tuesday.

Yesterday naman, di ako pumasok. Bago kasi ako matulog, parang di maganda pakiramdam ko. Dahil yata dun sa dami ng kinuhang dugo sakin the other day. Pagkagising ko rin, di ako makabangon kasi sobrang lutang ako at medyo nahihilo ako. Kaya natulog nalang ako ulit at nagising na ako after lunch. HAHA. Napaka-sipag talaga na empleyado! Oh well, may valid reason naman ako. Ayokong pilitin yung sarili kong pumasok kasi baka ma-aggravate lang yung nararamdaman kong sakit tapos mapapa-absent pa ako ng ilang araw. Medyo nagiging health-conscious na rin ako. Mahirap magkasakit.

Oh siya, yun lang muna. Next time ulit. Ciao!

Last week, I've been busy sa trabaho. Isa na rin yan sa reasons kung ba't di ako nakapagpost or nawala ako sa mood na magsulat. Saka wala rin akong maipost na worth sharing. Wala naman din kasing nangyaring significant. Same boring shit everyday. So ayun, that's my excuse for becoming inactive here.

Kahapon pala medyo napalaban ako sa ulan. Pag-out ko sa office at paglakad ko papuntang sakayan, walang ulan. Cloudy lang pero not enough para masabi mong uulan. Pero lol, ilang minutes palang after umalis nung UV Express na nasakyan ko, boom. Biglang bagsak yung ulan. Di ko muna pinansin kasi tatagal naman ng 1 hour yung biyahe kaya baka tumila na by the time na bababa ako. Natulog muna ako. Pagkagising ko, malapit na sa babaan. Umuulan pa rin. And worse, bumuhos pa lalo. Parang nananadya siya actually. Palakas ng palakas yung bagsak habang palapit na kami sa babaan. Nagkaroon pa ng konting hangin at medyo baha na nga dun sa bababaan namin. Malas diba? So ayun, pagbaba ko, may payong nga ako pero useless din. Nabasa pa rin ako. Nagpatila ako ng 5 minutes sa isang waiting shed kasi di talaga uubra yung payong ko lol. Yun lang. Pagkauwi ko basa yung pants, socks, and shoes ko ng husto. Hassle talaga pero at least, maaga ako nakauwi compared sa mga nakaraang araw. Buong week yata, more than 2 hours yung biyahe ko everyday. Sakit sa pwet! Lintik na traffic sa Metro Manila lalo na sa Pasig and Makati. Lam mo yung feeling na ngalay na ngalay ka na sa pwesto at upo mo kasi siksikan saka more than 2 hours ka nang di makagalaw ng maayos? Rapsa diba? Nakakagago lang. Mas nakakapagod pa yung commute kesa sa actual work mo. Hay. Buti nalang Friday ngayon kaya medyo masaya ako.

Yan lang muna. Gigil pa rin ako sa traffic dito sa NCR at wala na akong maikwento pa kaya next time nalang. Ciao!

Personal Thoughts on Religion

Good day! Early post ulit. Para maiba naman, I’ll share my thoughts on religion. I’ll be very honest sa post na ‘to. After all, gusto ko rin naman maglabas ng sama ng loob. Wooo mahaba-haba ‘to. So let’s start!

Una sa lahat, I hate the concept of religion. Bakit? Other than the fact that it was religion itself that tore our family apart, marami pang ibang disgusting reasons that I’ll gladly enumerate. Pero dun nalang tayo sa nangyari sa family namin.

Currently, magkaiba ng religion yung mom and dad ko. My mom is Catholic and my dad is a member of Ang Dating Daan. Pero Catholic dati yung tatay ko. He was baptized and grew up as a member of the Catholic Church. Kinasal pa nga sila sa simbahan eh. Kaso according to my mom, habang pinag-bubuntis daw niya ako, nakita niya na nanood (once) ng religious sermon ni Eli Soriano sa TV yung dad ko. Out of curiosity lang naman. Di niya daw pinansin kasi wala naman issue sa kanya yun. Until nakita niya na gabi-gabi na yung panonood niya. Tinanong niya kung bakit. Ang sagot sa kanya is tama daw yung mga sinasabi ni Eli Soriano. Mali daw yung mga turo sa Catholic bible. Nagpatuloy yun ng ilang months at dun na nagsimula yung conflict nila. Magkaiba na sila ng religious beliefs. Di nagtagal, nagpa-convert yung dad ko bilang member ng Ang Dating Daan. Lalong lumala yung away nila. Di sila magkasundo sa napakaraming bagay. Kada weekend, sumasamba yung dad ko sa mga "simbahan" nila. Nawalan ng time for bonding.

Even after my younger brother was born, ganun pa rin yung sitwasyon. Lumala pa nga actually. Naapektuhan kami ng husto. Lumaki kaming malungkot, may takot, at gaya nila, mainitin rin ang ulo. I think na ang cause din naman ng away nila is yung attitude problem ng mom ko. Na-aggravate lang ng difference sa religious beliefs. According to my dad, she's "gaga, pakialamera, bungangera, kontrabida, at nasiraan na ng bait". I somehow agree, kasi ganun yung trato niya sa amin ng kapatid ko, even until now (which is one of my current problems). After ko naman makausap yung dad ko dati sincerely, naintindihan ko yung mga saloobin niya. Wala namang masama if he chose to believe the teachings of Ang Dating Daan. Kaso parehas sila ng mom ko na pinipilit yung relihiyon nila sa akin. At ayaw na ayaw ko nun. May sarili po akong utak. I'll believe what I choose to believe. Don’t shove down your own beliefs to someone else's throat because that person will surely puke it out, just like me.

Lumaki kaming Catholic ng kapatid ko but my dad kept on insisting that we join him. My mom would always say no for us kasi bininyagan daw kaming Katoliko. Tapos ayun mag-aaway sila. Rinse and repeat. Halos ganyan everyday. Can you imagine? Staying in our household might even drive you crazy. Di ka makakarelax. Dodoble yung stress mo. Buti nalang I survived. Naghiwalay rin sila nung 3rd year high school ako kasi di na nila matiis ang isa't isa. Bumalik yung dad ko sa family compound nila ng mga kapatid at pinsan niya. Naiwan yung mom ko sa bahay namin. And since wala namang divorce dito sa 'Pinas, annulment lang yung option nila. Nasa korte pa rin at pinoprocess pa yun hanggang ngayon. Mas okay na yung ganto. At least one less person na inaaway ng mom ko sa bahay lol.

See? Although may factor yung huge difference between their personalities, naging trigger pa rin yung pagkakaiba nila ng relihiyon. Very contradicting diba? The purpose of religion is to bond the family together with faith and love pero anong nangyari? Oops. Opposite diba? I know na it's not the case for every family pero sa amin, ganun eh. And I hate it. It's sad pero wala na akong magagawa. I guess you'll ask me kung anong religion ko ngayon? Catholic. Or I'm pretending to be. For the sake of keeping peace sa bahay and sa parents ko. I have no religion but I believe in the existence of God. Yun lang. Walang kung anu-anong turo or kwentong nakasulat sa sinaunang libro na dapat basahin at isapuso. Ganun lang kasimple yung paniniwala ko. Kaso if I tell that to my parents, nako haha, alam mo na ang mangyayari. Kaya tinatago ko nalang yan sa sarili ko. I also remember mentioning that I love Christmas. That's true. Gusto ko yung warmth and spirit na nararamdaman ko every Yuletide season. Lahat ng tao ay mabait, mapagbigay, masiyahin at mapagmahal. Sad nga lang kasi one month lang sila ganyan. Imagine how great the world would be if hindi na nila hinihintay yung Christmas para lang bumait. Masaya diba? Kaso hindi ganyan ang realidad kaya wag na umasa lol.

Religion is doing what is told regardless of what is right; morality is doing what is right regardless of what is told. You don't need religion to do good and be good. Morality yun. You don't need religion to love and be loved. That's human nature. At kahit walang religion, di mawawala ang love and morality. And lahat tayo meron nun. You don't need religion to live that way. Wake up, people. Ang importante ay maging mabait at mapagmahal. Yun lang.

Wall of Kwento 09

Hey! Four days akong di nakapag-post kasi tinamad ako lol. Anyway, madami akong kwento kaya let us begin!

Nung Friday, diba sabi ko tatakas ako sa company anniv celebration namin? Guess what? Nakatakas nga ako haha. Na-delay yung start nung event kasi may ongoing client meeting pa at kailangan matapos muna yun at makaalis yung clients before mag-start. 5pm na pero di pa sila tapos kaya pumuslit na ako at nag-out kasi hanggang 5 lang naman talaga dapat ako. So ayun. Successful! I guess luck was with me this time hihi.

Nung Saturday and Sunday naman, uhm, wala naman akong ginawa masyado kundi maglaro, manood, kumain, at humiga. I downloaded Wonder Woman pala at pinanood ko. It’s a huge relief na hindi palpak yung plot niya (ehem, Batman vs Superman: Dawn of Justice, ehem) at very charismatic yung acting ni Gal Gadot. Although medyo maraming cringey parts yung movie (especially after the true identity of Ares was revealed saka yung pag-express nila ng angry emotions nila) at yung napadaming unnecessary slow-mo effects (which made some stunts look awkward), I still liked it. Bonus na rin pala yung realistic Ancient Greek at 1940s London setting aaaaah I really loved it. I’d recommend that you watch this film. Bigyan ko kayo ng copy. Just the say the word. Lol.

Nung Monday naman, since 3am na ako nakatulog, di ko na pinilit pumasok kasi alam kong 100% sabog ako kinaumagahan. So I took the day off and played League of Legends pagkakain ng lunch ‘till early evening. Panalo, talo, panalo, talo, and the cycle went on. I just wasted my time lol. Daming kids ngayon. Sus ko. Nastress lang ako sa solo queue. Di naman sa nagyayabang pero waaaay above average naman yung skills and mechanics ko. I actually think I deserve to be in Master Tier. Kaso kakampi lang talaga problema ugh. Nadagdagan naman yung points ko kaso konti lang. Kainis. Anyway, malakas din naman yung ulan buong araw (tumindi pa lalo around 6pm) kaya I thought that my absence was kinda worth it.

Tuesday. Gustong-gusto kong pumasok kasi absent na ako yesterday. I felt really guilty haha. Kapal kasi ng muka. Napakasipag na empleyado. Absent lang ng absent hihi. Pagbangon ko nung umaga, sobrang lakas ng ulan. May konting hangin pa. Sabi ko, “Shit. Kagabi pa ‘to ah? Lumakas pa lalo? Pano ako makakapasok neto haha hala ka boi.” So ayun, absent nanaman ako! HAHA. Futa talaga. Dumoble pa yung guilt na nararamdaman ko. Kahit nagtext ako sa supervisor ko kahapon at ngayon na absent ako (sabi ko pa nga emergency), nilalamon na ako ng buo ng konsensya ko hihihi. I tried to comfort myself by thinking “Sobrang lakas naman ng ulan eh. Baha yan almost everywhere. Maiintindihan naman nila siguro kung bakit absent ako ngayon. Di naman water-proof ang mga empleyado.” Pero nung nalaman ko na pumasok parin yung ibang empleyado samin, haha ewan ko ba pero parang feeling ko napaka-makasalanan ko lol. Naglaro nalang ulit ako ng League of Legends at nanood ng Knowing Brothers magdamag para mawala yung guilt kahit paano. It subsided naman pero nagsisisi parin ako HAHA. Yoko na umabsent. Fck you talaga ako lol.

Wednesday. Eto tinatype ko ‘to. Pumasok ako dito poker-faced na parang di ako absent ng dalawang araw HAHA. May mga naipon akong tasks kaya ginawa ko muna. Tapos sinimulan ko ‘to. Lol ayun, magpapakalma muna ako through soundtrip kasi wala akong mukhang maiharap sa supervisor ko HAHAHA. Sorry kung tawa ako ng tawa. Nakakatawa naman kasi talaga yung kabobohan ko lol. Anyway, magtatrabaho muna ako. Catch ya later. Ciao!

Uyy Friday na sa wakas! Makakapahinga na ako ng mahaba lol. Ano bang ganap ngayon? Uhm wala naman except kumakain ako at nagtytype neto. Mamaya pala yung company anniv celebration namin. May barbecue and cocktail drinks daw with open-mic performances. Kaso nga lang, nakakatamad umattend. Bukod sa di naman ako tumutugtog nor kumakanta, baka pilitin pa akong kumanta. Mapapahiya lang ako pag ganun tss haha. Anyway, baka lumamon lang ako ng konti tapos batsi na agad. I hope my ninja skills aren’t too rusty yet hihihi.

Uh ano pa ba. Andito pala yung Chairwoman of the Board of Directors nung company namin. May meeting yata sila mamaya. Grabe haha sobrang fluent mag-English tapos ang ganda ng diction and pronunciation niya ng words. Hahaha wala lang. Nakakatuwa lang. Sarap pakinggan. Nung tinanong niya yung isang client, “Have you been to Nuvali in Laguna? What do you think of the place? Quite impressive, isn’t it? The pollution and traffic is less severe.” medyo may pagka-British pa yung accent niya lawl. Gusto ko siya marinig mag-speech. I’m very sure na di mawawala yung focus ko sa kanya until the very end. Namomotivate akong pagbutihin yung English comm skills ko tuwing naririnig/nakikita ko siya dito haha.

Anw, mamaya kwekwento ko kung successful yung pagtakas ko. I hope na makatakas nga ako hihi. ‘Till later, peeps. Ciao!

Second post of the day. Naks ansipag. Masipag pumetiks lol. Anyway, nakakain na ako ng lunch (brunch, actually) at satisfied na tyan ko (for now). Malakas kutob ko na around 2pm kakalam na ulit yan. Bibili nalang akong doughnuts pag nagutom ako ulit. Pag di pa ako nabusog dun ewan ko nalang haha.

Btw, LSS ako sa Leave Out All the Rest ng Linkin Park ngayon. Feel na feel ko yung kanta. Sarap kantahin shet. Antagal na rin since huli kong pinakinggan yung kanta (4th year high school pa ata) at nakita ko lang sa recommended vids ko sa YouTube kanina. Ayun pinakinggan ko. Hanggang ngayon naka-loop pa rin. Napaka-meaningful nung lyrics. Powerful pa yung vocals. Naging instant favorite ko ‘to nung una kong narinig way back nung nag-aaral pa ako. Hay. Nostalgic. Lol.

Kanina rin pala, I tried watching the MV of Despacito (yung original by Luis Fonsi). Alam kong sobrang popular nito way back nung January this year pero di ko siya pinapansin dati. Di ko lang alam kung anong pumasok sa kokote ko at bigla kong ginustong panoorin yung MV ngayon. The song wasn’t so bad naman pala. It actually sounded good. Addicting yung tune and catchy yung lyrics kaya ako rin, nahook haha. Ganda nung beat at sakto lang yung tempo. Groovy, uplifting, and mapapasayaw ka. It kinda reminded me of the songs na naririnig ko lagi sa radyo nung elem pa ako. Nostalgic ulit lol. Anw, idadagdag ko ‘to sa playlist ko.

Ano pa bang ikwekwento ko? Uhm ayun, inaantok ako ngayon. Lunch time pa naman so I’ll take a short nap. Post ulit ako soon. Bye!

Yo. Didn’t post yesterday ‘cause I wasn’t in the mood to write anything lawl. Anyway, morning post ulit. Aga kong nakarating ng office today. 7:25 AM. Anim palang yung empleyado. Sobrang tahimik. Inantok tuloy ako ulit. Matulog kaya ako? Nvm, kakahiya dun sa mga ibang maaga dito na batak na agad sa work, lalo na yung Recruitment Team. 

Speaking of our Recruitment Team, buti nalang di pa nila ako nilalapitan or kinakausap. Ililink nanaman nila ako sa kung sinong babae dito sa office lol. Tapos tanong pa ng tanong kung may girlfriend ako. Sabi ko wala. Pero ayaw nila maniwala. I insisted na wala nga talaga then ayun, lalo pa silang naging determinado na hanapan ako ng ka-match. Wtf. Edi sana nag-Tinder nalang ako haha. Pinapahalata ko naman sa sagot at facial expressions ko na I’m not interested in relationships right now. However, manhid yata sila kaya di nila maramdaman na ayaw ko lol. Kung sino mang babae yung nakikita nilang nakakakwentuhan ko madalas, they always assume na there’s something romantic between us. Sows. Di ba pwedeng may interesting lang na pinag-usapan? Hay. Pero okay lang. Tahimik at kalmado lang dapat.

Isa pa pala. Matagal na akong sinasabihan ako ng ilang co-workers ko dito na magpalaki daw ako ng katawan. Sayang daw itsura at complexion ko. Bagay daw akong maging model. Mukha pa naman daw akong Korean. Sabi ko “oo pag ginanahan ako” haha. Matagal ko naman na talagang gusto magwork-out kahit sa bahay lang kaso katamad eh. I think kulang din sa motivation. However, I’m positive na mahahanap ko rin yung determinasyon na wala ako ngayon. Ano kaya magiging itsura ko pag toned yung katawan ko? It’s kinda interesting to imagine haha. Magpaka-full oppa mode na daw ako lawl. Actually, pag naglalakad ako mula sa bahay namin papuntang sakayan ng UV express, yung mga students ng Rizal High School at Arellano University na nakakasalubong ko, tinatawag ako “uy oppaaa” or naririnig kong sinasabi “uy Koreano waaa”. Kapal ba ng mukha ko? Hahaha oy believe it or not, nangyayari yan. Napupukaw ko atensyon nila pag nakikita nila ako. Kung oppa na turing nila sakin ngayon, pano pa kaya pag nagpalaki ako ng katawan or inayos ko buhok at pananamit ko? Baka mapagkamalan na akong Kpop idol? Hahaha shit. Ah basta. Magwowork-out ako someday.

Haba na ng post ko pota. I might post again later pag di ako tinamad haha. Bibili muna akong brunch. Ciao!

Two posts in a day. Wow haha. So ayun, tumigil rin yung ulan at nakabili na ako ng croissants. Yay. Kinain ko agad pagbalik ng office dahil sa sobrang gutom at takam. Lol. Another craving satisfied! Kung may Subway sana dito malapit sa amin, dun talaga ako bibili araw-araw. Kaso wala eh. Tss. Gusto ko yung sandwiches nila kasi masarap and healthy. Hay. Please Subway, maglagay kayo ng outlet dito sa Greenbelt.

Anyway, I hope na mamayang uwian ay walang ulan. More than 1 km din yung nilalakad ko papuntang sakayan tapos isipin mo may ulan pa. Sobrang pahirap tss. Gusto kong may ulan pero dapat pag indoors lang ako haha. Pag nasa labas ako, ibang usapan na yun. Pero I love overcast skies. Perfect for long walks alone. Malamig yung hangin saka walang nakakapasong araw. Kung ganto lang sana everyday edi sasaya ako kahit konti haha. Oh siya. Yan lang muna. Bukas ulit. Ciao!

Heyya. Umagang-umaga nagpopost na ako. This means wala nanaman akong magawa. Lol. Anyway, ngayon ko lang nalaman na may cookie sandwich pala yung Choco Mucho. Wtf. Nakita ko lang sa pantry ng office kanina. I grabbed two and eto ako ngayon, kinakain sila. Ganun parin yung lasa nung cookie biscuit pero uy yung filling madami and masarap lol. Lasang Ovaltine na soft and smooth yung texture. Buti nalang triny ko haha. Sorry Cream-O pero may kapalit ka na! Di naman talaga ako mahilig kumain ng mga gantong biscuits pero since bago sa paningin ko, napakain ako. Iniiwasan ko rin kasi puro sugar at calories lang. Ah basta, try niyo nalang. You won’t be disappointed (somehow).

Anlakas nanaman pala ng ulan. Bibili sana ako ng croissants sa Dunkin’ pero ayokong mabasa. Hassle pa rin kahit may payong tss. Kaya ayun, tinype ko nalang to lol. Wala pang tao masyado dito sa office and I love it. Walang maingay, walang madrama, at walang gugulo sa akin! Wag na sana pumasok yung ibang empleyado para tahimik buong araw dito please. I’ll also get to do whatever the hell I want haha. Anyway, sana tumila na yung ulan. Kanina pa ako nag-ccrave at nagugutom kasi. Oh siya, ubusin ko na muna ‘tong kinakain ko and I’ll have to read something. Maya na ulit. Ciao!

Wall of Kwento 03

Yo. In my last post, I mentioned something about me having pent-up feelings and thoughts. I decided not to post those here because I found a way to resolve them alone. I feel a bit better now.

Anyway, I'm here para magkwento ulit. So ayun, long weekend last week. Sarap tumambay sa bahay. Malamig yung panahon. Maulan. Umorder kami ng 2 boxes of pizza nung Saturday at since ubos agad, umorder ulit ng 2 boxes nung Sunday. May iba pa kaming mga ulam na kinain nun pero syempre, priority yung pizza lol. Anyway, busog at very satisfied ako buong weekend. I remember spending those three days very listlessly.

I downloaded Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 and watched it with my younger brother last Sunday. I noticed that character development improved a lot and it had more layers of emotion compared to its predecessor. However, the plot was predictable, the sense of humor was poor, the action scenes were lackluster, and it showed nothing surprising. Heck, the first one was even better, imo. Anyway, it's a great film for kids, a good one for adults, but meh for me.

Moving on, two weeks ago pala, I downloaded and watched the Captain America film series. Damn, it was good. Bakit di ko kaya naisipan na panoorin 'to dati? I'm not a huge fan of Marvel kasi. I grew up loving the X-Men film franchise but I completely underestimated the quality of the Captain America films. Captain America: The First Avenger was not as action-packed as Winter Soldier and Civil War but it still appealed to me the most. The storytelling was great and I really loved the 1940s setting. To my surprise, it had a lot of heartfelt, emotional scenes and I loved them all. On the other hand, Winter Soldier had numerous plot twists and action scenes that will have you at the edge of your seat. The car chase sequence between Nick Fury and the police/SWAT was particularly unforgettable. You'll see Natasha Romanoff (Black Widow) in a different light this film.  And lastly, Civil War. Very action-packed. Had too many characters in it but if you've watched all prior Marvel films, you'll have zero problems. The plot had many shocking revelations and you'll definitely be saying "what the fuck?" a lot like I did. You basically watch this type of movie if you're in for the thrills and adrenaline rush. The conclusion was satisfying and I have no objections. To sum it up, I really liked this particular film series. It was my mistake to assume that they were low-quality and just for kids and teens. Sorry, Marvel. Btw, sa Captain America movies pala nanggaling yung “Hail Hydra!” na naging very popular meme over the past few years hahaha. Wala lang, natuwa lang ako lol.

Naging film review post nalang tuloy 'to lol. Pero okay lang. I'd recommend people to watch the Captain America movie franchise. Magugulat sila if they thought those films sucked. Just like me haha. Anyway, 'till next time! Ciao!

Wall of Kwento 02

'Sup. Tuesday na. Boring pa rin. Wala naman kasing bago tsss. Another bleak day but I'm in a good mood somehow kasi may sahod na mamaya. I get to spend money normally again. Yeyyy.

Anyway, inaantok nanaman ako ngayon (antukin talaga ako haha; sorry not sorry) kasi I finished watching the 5th episode of Game of Thrones Season 7 last night. Although mas maaga ako natulog kagabi (1am) in contrast noong Sunday night (past 2am), it's not enough (never, actually) para di ako antukin today. Worth it naman yung puyat kasi as expected, the episode was full of revelations and the plot kept on getting better and better. Don't worry. No spoilers here. Di ako kasing-sipag ng mga nasa GoT Wikia para mag-type ng detailed plot at convos dito lol.

As soon as I got home from work, I really rushed into my room just to turn on the PC and download the episode. May very reliable source ako ng GoT episodes kaya I have zero problems finding and downloading them. After eating dinner and taking a shower, rekta kong pinanonood yung episode. While watching, matik na yun na "do not disturb me" mode ako. Pag tinatawag talaga ako or inuutusan while watching something, nabwibwisit ako. It ruins the mood. Nawawala yung focus ko. Especially dahil I take whatever I'm watching very seriously. Ang hirap ipaliwanag pero parang nalilink yung emotions at senses ko dun sa pinapanood ko. Parang may attachment. OA ba? Sorry pero ganito talaga ako manood kahit dati pa lol.

So yun lang muna. Panoorin niyo nalang yung episode. Watch out for spoilers though hahaha. Magpopost ako ulit soon. Happy watching and ciao!

Yo. June 20 pa pala last post ko dito. Tagal na rin pala lol. I almost forgot the existence of this blog kasi sobrang busy ko talaga tsk. Anyway, I'll be more active starting today kaya expect reading more nonsense from me haha.

So ayun, Monday nanaman. It's afternoon and I can still feel bed sheets caressing my skin. This meant only one thing: gusto ko nanaman humiga at matulog sa bahay. Is that a bad thing? Nope. Never. Nasa office ako physically pero nasa bahay ako mentally. This feeling is never new. Here I am, sitting listlessly on a computer chair, typing this on my laptop while yawning. Less than 4 hours lang kasi yung tulog ko kagabi haha. Was up 'till 2am watching Knowing Brothers. What's that? Google mo nalang lol. Di ko maputol yung episode para matulog kasi nakakatawa talaga haha. I've been trying to catch up on all episodes since late July. You can say na halos 4 weeks na akong nagsasakripisyo ng tulog para sa binge-watching lang. Stupid, right? Hahaha.

Kinaumagahan, groggy ako as usual. Kainis nga eh, pinipilit kong matulog sa UV Express pero ayaw maki-cooperate ng utak ko. Nakapikit ako sa van for around 45 minutes pero di ako nakaidlip kahit 10 minutes man lang. Tsk. Aga ko nakarating ng office kaya wala pang tao masyado. Guess what? Sobrang nakakaantok nanaman yung environment. Pinilit kong di makatulog dun kasi syempre, bawal yun at may hiya naman ako (kahit paano) sa ibang employees hahaha. To shake the drowsiness off, I continued watching Hunter x Hunter 2011 (which I had been binge-watching since early July dito sa office) at finally, natapos ko na yung Greed Island Arc. Kahit napanood ko na 'tong HxH before, I've always wanted to binge-watch it again kasi I really loved the plot, the characters, at pati yung mga OSTs. I'll start the Chimera Ant Arc tomorrow para di naman maubos agad yung papanoorin ko haha. I do think I'm progressing too fast and that worries me a bit? Hahahaha.

Ang haba na pala ng nasulat ko. Next time naman kasi baka maubusan ako ng maipopost. Anyway, yun lang muna today. Pakasaya kayo. Ciao!

First!

So here you are, reading the very first post of my blog. Don’t expect anything great from it kasi I only created it to air out my thoughts, to rant non-stop, and to talk about very random stuff (which I’m interested in, of course). I’m introverted and di ako mahilig makipag-usap tungkol sa malalalim at sensitibong bagay in person kaya dito nalang kasi at least, close to none ang makakabasa haha. I find it much easier to express myself through writing than through speaking kaya ibubuhos ko lahat dito lol. Anyway, wala pa akong thought or experience na worth posting right now so tama na muna. Ciao!
