Since I'm not 100% sure with it, I think I'm not going to go any further yet. 

That was the worst jeepney ride of my life. LRT now and its so good to be back. 

Don day with Brobabes and a bit of a road trip was fun. We were able to make it on Morayta because of Lhea and seeing FEU was bitter sweet. Till next week? Yeah? Haha. 

.......... #mantra!!!!!!! 

Pacquiao vs Mayweather. Ohhhh politics. Everywhere. 

Should I write something when I'm feeling like this? Maybe not. Goodnight. 

There are watchers. Always. 

One day, you will notice what is in front of you and when it happened, you will never ignore her. 

All of it is making you blind to see the real situation. Thankful for watchers. 

Watchers - the people who can see/observe/watch our story/life, who can judge us for what they see and can totally tell to others why this and that with half truth and half lie. 

To the mother of Mary Jane Veloso: Instead of blaming other people, why not just be thankful because you where able to go to Indonesia when your daughter was set to be executed but she got pardon temporarily. Regarding with her pardon, apparently, some officials already know that she will not be included on the executions but they didn't told you ASAP. you know why? Because it can still be changed. Just like basketball, the game is not yet over until you hear the final buzzer. Moreover, your battle is not yet over. Choose the right side where you know you can trust the life of your daughter as well as the life of your whole family. Making a wrong decision may lead to something you don't want to happen. 

At this point, material things are less appreciated. 

He had a heart attack 2 days before and his body was discovered just last night. So sad that no one was with him that day. Your smile is irreplaceable and I will never forget it and you will always be the Angel of the FEU Psychology Department, RIP Sir Angel. -05.07.15

I'm so close asking if I can but I don't want to be disappointed with the answer so I didn't asked. #mantra

Here comes the complications of life. Lol

I hope we are still on for the weekend. #brobabes

We notice little things when we have nothing to do. 

I'm so hungry. I'm waiting at the dentist. Again and a bit sleepy. 

When are we going to stop blaming others?

I have a thing for slow song. 

My heart is so happy right now. Thank you for a memorable weekend, Brobabes. Till our next road trip. :D - 05.10.15 

I can't wait to share my videos!. :D 

I can't compose a proper blog post from our road trip because my brain is still on high. Hahaha

It was a different Sunday for me. 

I admire Raymond Reddington because he thinks all of the possible things to happen and know how to deal with all of them. Without any glitch, he will do anything. #TheBlacklist 

So if you are a psychic, do you know what I'm thinking right now? 

I'm still on high from that road trip and I want to do another one! #mantra

That was the quickest trip to the dentist. 

Somehow, I want to explore the North. #mantra

Why should I care if he's going to leave? 

Facebook is really cruel. 

Some people really don't have the courage to ask personally. I don't bite. 

A customer like me do research most especially when it comes to gadgets so even I'm not an Android user, I know something about it. And when it comes to gadgets, I don't like one gadget that I will use for everything because it destroy the battery. Been there than that with my motorola K1 (2007/2008) and I will never do that again. So better not tell me that my GoPro will be able to be connected on an Android phone because I already know that and before I buy, I read reviews unless I'm just accompanying someone to buy a gadget, I mostly don't care. Haha. 

Late night realization, the front cam of my phone is just 2MP? Seriously? Doesn't look like a 2MP for me! And I think I will never be impressed with blurred photos, its so annoying and so 2006! Good thing that all phones that I got have good cameras. 

What to do with my iPad if there's no internet and my lives from Candy Crush and Crazy Kitchen are 0. 

I cleaned my room today after so long though I missed some spot, its better than never. 

You should know that I'm not your fan and I learned. 

Its not another day that I will just say "okay" to you. Its a new day. 

Scheduled! Anyone wants to join me with this? Hihi

WHY DID I WAITED FOR A YEAR TO GET THIS. I'M SO IN LOVE WITH THIS NEW ONE. 

WHY DID THEY KILLED PAUL. THIS IS WORST THAN A SEASON FINALE. #OrphanBlack 

I rather cut the bad vibes than to keep my enemies closer. 

That episode of Orphan Black are one of those episode that you-want-to-watch-it-all-over-again-but-a-favorite-character-was-killed/died-better-not-watch-it-again. Its heart breaking. 

I WILL NEVER MOVED ON. THEY KILLED PAUL. WHY. HE CAN TOTALLY ESCAPE WITH SARAH BUT ...... ITS NOT LIKE THE WALKING DEAD. PAUL IS DIFFERENT. #OrphanBlack

Late night question: Did I already posted something related to Twenty One Pilots? 

Scripted or not, KUWTK gives us life lessons. You just have to look deeper. 

Hiding using your skills of talking. 

It all started on my dream. Oh wait. Shetballs. Ano yun? Haha #29

Okay. Maybe it was just nothing. Oh wait. Same? Same? Ridiculously, funny! Haha 

Road Trip . Batangas / Tagaytay

Keith + Aivrin, Gem, Lhea = Brobabes

Yikes! 

How will I start this? Aaaahhhhhhh 

So a week before this trip, we were at Don Day because Lhea was here in Manila for a few days before she goes back to Palawan and Keith brought his car that day and we are talking about why Lhea is here in Manila and knowing her, for sure there are so many scheduled on meeting her friends.

The week seems too long before the weekend and we are keeping each other updated but mostly we are waiting for the decision of Keith because the original plan was Tagaytay/Batangas and its on the opposite way to Laguna, we said that its okay if we just go to Laguna. Since the babes are already ready, we were just waiting for the decision of Keith so we know what to bring and because we also need his car for this trip. 

You wouldn't believe this but it was Thursday and we are still waiting for the answer and we are already asking him through our facebook group chat and he said "you will know, tomorrow" okay. Friday, we are waiting and its almost 9PM and still no answer and Keith said, "you will know, tomorrow" which was Saturday and we were supposed to know so Lhea and I will be able to prepare our things. I already said to the babes that if our road trip plan will not push through we can just meet for dinner. It was about 3PM when Keith said "okay we're going, what's your plan?" and I called him and told our plan he said "okay!" (In Keith's language "okay! Sige! Text text na lang) and I already inform the babes/chikababes. 

Gem and I met at 7PM and we waited for Keith and Lhea until past 11PM. Gem and I regret of killing some hours doing nothing while waiting :/

Our plan was to stay at Gem's place then we can hit the road by 5 or 6 in the morning. We left Gem's place by 7AM. Haha. 

Originally, we are just going to Matabungkay but Gem said the place is not nice anymore so we search for some beach on the area of Batangas and we found another one in Bauan near Batangas Port. Unfortunately, due to the typhoon (according to the one Lhea talked to when we are already near the place) the Coast Guard ordered them not to let their guests to swim or use the boat because of the current. That was our Plan A, Plan B was to check another resort in the area but we thought if the Coast Guard ordered one resort then every resort should know that. We end up on the original plan and became our Plan C, we went to Tagaytay. Though the weather was pretty nice that day and we didn't experience rain.

It was a long ride and I don't want to pissed off Keith because I know how sensitive some drivers are and he was so quiet the whole trip going to Tagaytay so we stayed quiet for a while. Its a bit weird when you don't know where are you headed but at the same point, you just want to have fun with your company or maybe if you're alone, listen to some good music. 

We arrived in Tagaytay just before lunch and I told them we can eat at Bulalo Point but they want to eat at Leslie's. The service at Leslie's are disappointing most especially if its a weekend or a holiday when there's a waiting list before you can get a table then the serving of food is another story as well as asking for a refill of water but thankful for a nice restroom. 

After lunch, we drove to picnic grove because we want to spend more time with each other and its still early to go back to Manila. We killed some time at picnic grove looking at families, kids who are enjoying flying kites and watching people throws 400 pesos for a short but high enough for a zip-line.

We always talk whatever things and I honestly forgot what were the topic when we are on picnic grove. Oh wait, we took a nap that's why we didn't have a conversation. Haha. Then I woke up when Keith texted me asking where are we because he was busy playing and charging his phone. I asked him to buy water and he even bought a pink cotton candy and then when we reached our table he said "open the popcorn" and we're like "huh? Popcorn?"  He just called a cotton candy a popcorn. Haha.

~

Then it was time to leave. It was a bit traffic on our way to Sta. Rosa but good thing it was just at the fruit stands because we are almost running out of gas. On our way to Eton exit, we passed by at the Nike Factory Outlet and some part of us are sad on just passing by the store but at least I/we didn't bought anything although I can feel that there's an FEU jacket there that's half the price. Next time. 

We were on SLEX when Keith said "wait I'll make a stop over I need to attack". I thought it was some code for restroom but NO, HE WAS TELLING US THAT HE NEED TO PLAY COC! Haha. 

We roam around the place and we found a mini version of a Nike Factory Outlet but nothing interesting there. Then we started to complain that he should play when we are still on the area of the Nike Factory Outlet so we can check it. I just make a trip to the restroom and change my shirt (and suddenly, I remember Sam and Vail when they travel). 

After the COC break of Keith, we're back on the road and I was silently appreciating the beautiful sunset sky while they sing-along to California King Bed. After that, I asked them if they want some Eraserheads. 

We're already in Manila when someone was calling Keith and he was a bit upset because he don't want to bring a car on their outing the next day and after talking on the phone, he confess that some of his co-workers are teasing him with this girl and the Babes became over protective. ;)

Sorry Keith. Haha. He told us the story that the girl liked him but she have a boyfriend and sorry girl, bro was so honest to us that he doesn't like you. We thought that his co-workers are so into this set up where the girl will be riding with Keith alone and blah blah and we are so game to leave something girl stuff so the girl will have a hint. I'm so game to leave one of my lipstick and Gem is already planning on leaving her two-piece-swimwear. Haha So far, we haven't heard how was the outing but we told him that the chikababes are just a text away if he needs an emergency call. Haha. 

It was bitter sweet that we are already on Shaw when we are having this kind of conversation. Imagine we've been on the road for almost 12 hours and we are about to separate ways when a nice topic came out. The chikababes are complaining but we know that it was always like that. 

Gem's place was in Paranaque but she decided (or it was Keith) haha that she should still come to us because she will miss something and yes, if we dropped her at Bicutan she will never know about the girl. 

We are already near Cubao when we said we are hungry and I think I was the one who ask "let's have dinner?" and everyone was still game but first things first, Keith need some alone time at their restroom. After their place, we just walked to Araneta and look for a place to have dinner and as usual, we started at KFC but it was full, next stop was BonChon but it was also full, we passed by Army Navy with so many vacant tables but Keith doesn't like there and he was starting to suggest Seafood Island! Haha but we settled at Wendy's. Some usual stuff that we do after watching a game, walk around while looking for a place to eat.

Just a mini story, (I'm not sure if I already wrote this before but whatever) after watching a game in MOA Arena we are looking for a place to eat and if you're familiar with MOA, BonChon was just in front but someone will say "BonChon again?" Then we will look for another place and until we reached the sea side of MOA then we just went back in front and we end up eating at BonChon. It never get old. :D 

Anyway, so we ended our first non-basketball-related stuff over dinner just like the usual. So much love for the three of them and I know all of us had fun though some original plans were busted we were thankful that we had a safe trip. 

We are still convincing Keith for a Palawan trip since he haven't been to El Nido and I still need an island hopping but he was scheduled for leave at work to visit his sister in Thailand and I think he doesn't have more leave left. Next time. 

Wow. I never had a long post for a while. I just really want to say even the smallest detail because it was such a memorable trip and it made my heart so happy. I don't think anyone will listen to this kind of story but if you are reading this until this last paragraph, thank you! Hopefully, we will be able to do this again this year with a concrete plan. 

Still, our schedules will be as flexible as possible when it comes to FEU games (UAAP). More Araneta games than MOA please! 

Ps. I put my GoPro on video mode when we're on the road and the conversations are insane! The reason why I can't move on from this trip but I'm slowly moving on. Haha. I'll try to edit a video soon. 

pps. here's the video. Enjoy!

Don Day with Brobabes

Gem texted me that Lhea will be here in Manila for a couple of days and we haven't seen each other since the last game of FEU last UAAP season. So we planned to meet her and of course, eat at Don Day because we are craving for it since last year. Good thing Keith was free that day. 

Gem and I waited for Keith at Gateway and we learned that he was late because his car was being cleaned and we ask him why bother to clean its just us he said "Nakakahiya sa mga chikababes". Haha! 

We arrived there at 8PM and Lhea was waiting for us since 7PM! Haha. It was so nice to catch up with friends. 

I asked if we are still going to see each other before she goes back on the 12th and we somehow know that night, we all don't want to go home but since we all have plans the next day we can't go too far from Manila. When we left Don Day and was about to drop Lhea somewhere but it didn't happen because no traffic and we were able to drop her in Dangwa where she was staying but before that she said, lets go somewhere and I will give a ₱1000 ($23) for gas and we are already suggesting Tagaytay and Lhea said lets go to the beach in Batangas and the only near that I know for a day trip was Matabungkay but as I said we can't make that happen yet. We checked our schedule and boom next week was the day but we still have to wait for the decision of Keith because he might go home in Laguna on the same day. Since he can't decide that day, we just keep everyone updated on our facebook chat.

Stay tuned for our road trip post :D 

On Repeat . Future Hearts

Future Hearts by All Time Low

All Time Low will always be on my playlist and I don't think I need to give a reason for that. 

So they released a new album lately called Future Hearts and nothing changed just new tunes from on of my favorite boys. 

Heres's the list of the new songs and my favorite line: 

Satellite - Wishing on a star that's just a satellite / We were just kids singing 

Kicking & Screaming - Say hello to all my little nightmares / I'm chasing after rock and roll 

Something's Gotta Give - Wake me up / Say enough is enough / I'm dying to live 

Kids in the Dark - They left us alone / The kids in the dark / To burn out forever / or light up a spark

Runaways - They won't catch us in the dark / Roll like thunder burn like stars / So lets run away / They will have to find another heart to break 

Missing You - I heard that you've been / Self medicating in the quiet of your room  // grit your teeth, pull your hair, paint the walls black and scream "Fuck the world cause its my life (I love the whole song. Feels like their singing it for me) 

Cinderblock Garden - That we could make forever after all / Finding the gold in our darkest moments (and the whole chorus)

Tidal Waves (feat. Mark Hoppus) - I earned my place with the tidal waves / Why don't you think before you speak? / Cause you don't know me at all 

Don't You Go - Don't shut me down now / Just hear me out now

Bail Me Out (feat. Joel Madden) - would ya, bail me out if I need it / Help me down / Will you catch me when I fall

Dancing With a Wolf - So don't you call my name / I will take you down

The Edge of Tonight - You keep me safe, you keep me sane, you keep me honest / You keep me alive / On the edge of tonight 

Old Scar / Future Hearts - We got scars on our future hearts but we never looked back (I love the whole song) 

Have you listened to the new album of ATL? What can you say? Comments? 

I've seen them live and hopefully I will be able to see them again this year even though I passed when they headlined Bazooka. Can't wait. :)

And I need to listen to the latest episodes of Full Frontal! :D

On Repeat . American Candy

American Candy by The Maine 

The Maine. What can I say. 

I don't have too much to say, I just enjoy listening to their songs. If you haven't listen to The Maine, try to listen to this album it will make you dance. 

Amazeballs. 

American Candy is like a brighter version of Forever Halloween. From the album title as well as on the album cover.

So here's the list of songs and my favorite line from it. 

Miles Away - I took a trip up the west coast / LAX to SFO

Same Suit, Different Tie - Because the old can feel brand new 

My Hair - Grow your hair out, let your hair down while you still can

English Girls - (love the beat of this song) American boys do too

24 Floor - You don't wanna die tonight (I LOVE THE WHOLE SONG)

Diet Soda Society - To be honest, I am full of shit

Am I Pretty? - Am I pretty? Do people like me yet? Is there a party? It's such a pity? (I also love the beat of this)

(Un) Lost - I'm not looking to be found / Just want to feel (un) lost (Song of my life)

American Candy - What will you do on the weekends / When your best friends / Become your dead friends?

Another Night on Mars - With friends like ours / Anywhere is home (I love this song, too!)

I'm so pumped when they announced that they will be releasing a new album then they surprised everyone here when they announced that they will be with All Time Low when they return on August.

My current playlist: Talking Dreams, American Candy and Future Hearts

On Repeat . Talking Dreams

Talking Dreams by Echosmith

After not-so-long I'm finally able to listen to the whole album of Echosmith. My twitter feed always spoil me with new artist to listen to or to the latest news. I first heard of them probably on twitter and of course Cool Kids was the first song that I heard and it was free on iTunes before. 

I'm so busy lately up to now but music will always have an exception on being busy because you can listen to music even when you're doing a lot of things. 

Going back to Talking Dreams, I'm so impressed with the voice of Sydney Sierota. Her voice is super chill and their songs are so catchy! 

I'm very choosy when it comes to a female vocalist because I have so many criteria like how they sing, what's their genre, do they write their own songs, if they good live, etc.

Echosmith passed all of my criteria so here I am with some favorite lines from each song of their album:

Come Together - We've got big city dreams, but we don't move from the asphalt / We're gonna come together now. 

Let's Love - I've been saving my soul for someone like you / Let's love before we've even begun

Cool Kids - I wish that I could be like the cool kids / Cause all the cool kids, they seem to fit in 

March Into The Sun - It's how we start a fire, with a natural high (I love the clapping, too!) 

Come With Me - Come with me / And I'll take you away if you let me / Stay with me / And I'll cover your soul with my body / Give me you're heart / And I'll give you my love

Bright - I think you and the moon and Neptune got it right (though, I really love the whole song)

Talking Dreams - We're Talking Dreams maybe / Let's run away to New York City

Tell Her You Love Her - Tell her a story / Tell her the honest truth (oh oh oh oh oh)

Ran Off In The Night - Won't you come away with me won't you come away 

Nothing's Wrong - We walk like there's nothing wrong (and the whole chorus)

Safest Place - If you're lookin' for truth, don't come looking for me / You're better off not knowing / It's your own story, its the safest place you'll ever be (its the whole chorus, actually)

Surround You - Where ever you are / Whenever you need me / Just crawl in my arms / Oh and I'll hold you beside me / I want my love to surround you / And I'll just sing it out

Up To You - I wear my heart on my sleeve / It's just what I do / But if there's too much to leave / Won't hold it against you

We're Not Alone - Tonight we'll dream to a better cause 

I love the clapping and the beat of the songs. It was refreshing. 

My problem is, they will be here on August and I'm still thinking if I will watch, I totally can but because of the budget then All Time Low with The Maine will also be here the day before Echosmith and because it was August. Yes, All Time Low with The Maine on the 12th then Echosmith on the 13th. I'm still undecided but I don't want to regret it just like how I'm ignoring too many concerts. We'll see. 

Give Echosmith a try if you're looking for a good music. 

Cause now I'm shining bright

So bright

Bright 

So bright 

Be Nice

Read this first

I got this last week and I'm so speechless. 

I can't wait to wear this soon.

Thank you again Charlavail! 

One Day.

Its better to know how, rather than not knowing at all

It hurts that I can't use that skill on a daily basis of my life

One day, I will be able to anytime/whenever/wherever I want

When it happen, I'm not going to stop. 

Book . The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight

To be honest, reading a book is not what I wanted to do lately. After catching up on The Blacklist, all I wanted to do is watch a nice series but I don't want to watch another new series and movies are not my favorite as of now. Series over movies forever. 

Since I'm already up to date on all of my TV shows, I decided to read a light story. Its hard to choose from my unread collection on my iBooks but I end up on, The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight. 

Coming from watching TV shows since I last read a book, I found it boring at first but then I fell in love with it again. 

~ This is not a book review and I'm so sure there's NO  SPOILERS~

Hadley is like a part of my past, my present and my future self. I never met someone that is too interested on some strangers story (not-in-a-creepy-way) but I guess that was because "love at first sight" is involve. 

I highlighted a lot of sentences, conversations, quotes, etc. and when she was having conversation with her father, it felt like some unanswered questions was answered (fyi, my unanswered questions were not about my dad) and when that happened you just knew that I was reading a very nice book.  

A 24-hours story is mind blowing. Some of us might just take a whole day for granted but for some, it was the best story to share. Hopefully, one day I can tell my own mind blowing story. 

Apparently, reality is way too far from a book and the probability of seeing each other again and again after a few hours is so impossible to happen.

“Plenty of wide open spaces up there.”

“But no escape route.”
