Pico De Loro 2016

Hello June! I think you are full of adventure. Lol 

Hair retouching 101.

Thankful for friends, basketball gods, music and most especially for the badass one. 

It takes a lot of courage to get out of bed the day after a huge bombard. 

Again, thankful for people who keeps an open mind. 

Avoiding to type some major rants. Now I'm so slow on typing something. I'm also trying to block some ideas that's on my head. Will focus on the good ones. 

Oh hello Sunday morning. You amaze me sometimes. 0605 

I'm really lost on the 5th season of Once Upon A Time but still loving it. Haha. 

Happy birthday to one of my best friend who used to walk on this earth so strong that seems nothing will ever stop him to be happy. I miss you. Happy birthday, Karlo. 0607

Pico de Loro!!! Much needed breather. 

I want to write something but I'm avoiding it. (I wish....) #21

Don't mess with the guy. Haha

No one is securely safe even at this very moment that's why I want to push the original plan. 

Asdfghjklzxcnbnifdsdghkjhgfd. Sht. Hahaha. #21 0610 

If auto shut down will happen, I'll laugh so hard. Haha. 0612

Why computer? Why do this to me. Come back now. Huhu. I need you. :(

This is why I hate depending on the computer and the technology. We all need to adjust for it because they will never adjust for human beings. 

Fingers crossed for my computer. Sht talaga. 

My computer is once again alive and kicking. Back to my usual programming. 

I miss the first-day-of-school feels. Haha. 0613

10 years ago it was my first day in college. 0613

Abusing myself again but it's so good to be tired. 

Can I just be out there again? :( 

I'm being so grumpy today. I need to get out or I'll just isolate myself from now on. Bye for now. 

I'm starting to worry.

How did he ever got here? Geez. You guys are making me laugh and you are making me so pretty proud of myself. Haha

Oh hello there old friend. #17 0617 

Finding Dory! So cute! 

I don't want to write it because it contradict each other. It will be unfair. 0618 :( 

OITNB S4 Marathon !!!! 

I'm not surprised and you should too. 

Twice in 4 days? Haha. Hello again #17 0620

Can it be weekend again? 

I still appreciate even I only see friends once in a while but sometimes I crave for their presence. 

You are such a predictable person after a while. 

Twenty One Pilots never fail to save me. |-/ 

Basketball news! You also never fail to make me laugh. Hahaha. More residency, more fun! Lol

Thank you M. / YAY! for bawi night! ♥ 0623 

Most people that I see lately was wearing green-dip-dye. And I'm so happy that people are experimenting with their hair. Green is also my favorite but I'm not doing green anytime soon well, maybe on UAAP days. Haha. 

Not complaining with this waiting game for Gem. Haha. It's been a while since I was surrounded by a lot of people from different places with different stories. I love seating alone at a foodcourt and hearing buzz beyond my earphones. 0624

People should not consider some statement shirts. Hahaha. 

WHY. THIS IS SO SAD. / That last 2 episodes. #OITNB S4 

Too lazy to get out of bed but I need to clean my room. 

The feeling of memorizing Heathens. Yes! Haha. Take it slow. 

Can I just stay on bed in this rainy day? No? Okay. 

I already know that but coming from them it really hit on a different level and somehow funny. I really didn't breakdown this weekend I had my bawi night e. Haha

It is just in my brain I don't want to jot it down but it will be titled "I wish, I wish". 

Memorizing a TØP song is definitely very high-quality of distraction. 

Never fail to make me laugh out loud. Haha. 

Whatever it is, I'm more thankful for the respect and for being open-minded.  

I'm willing to take one for the team. 

I just want to be in bed but I also need some strong distraction. 

I'm so speechless with this confession but I'm so happy and so proud of him. 0630

Good old blackberry. The advantage of keeping old phones.

Good thing I was able to save that. Time to pig out.

Romblon 2016

Day 1 | Day 2 | Day 3 | Day 4 

My Photographs : Romblon

You can check my day-to-day blog and more photos of my Romblon trip on the links above. 

Here's a video that I made from that trip and a little story while making it was, I'm trying to lessen the minutes since most of my previous videos are up to 10-12 minutes but I really want to use a song from Tonight Alive (Limitless) that makes me convinced to go on this trip. It's okay for me to cut the few parts but JV was making faces that makes me laugh because I really don't know that and I want to include that. Haha

On the other side, I don't want to cut a song on the end just like what happened to my Palawan video so I extended it to be perfect for 4 songs. I also didn't use any photos this time unlike the last time because I was able to transfer the videos from the GoPro to the iPad unlike on its previous version, when it used to asked if I want to download a low/high resolution of videos. 

I'm happy with the outcome but I think it is still too long. Haha but I really want to show you how was the view on the boat trip and while on the beach and the travel on the road.

Since I didn't include photos, the DSLR photos are just on my Tumblr (still on queue as of posting this). How I wish I was able to bring the GoPro while we hang out by the beach that time but I was charging it. 

Can't wait for new adventures and new places to see.

Romblon 2016 . Day 4

Woke up a little bit late because our itinerary for the day is just around San Andres. We were supposed to go to Paksi but they said that the island was closed due to development. Change plans we are just going to Mablaran Falls less than an hour from where we're staying. 

They said it was still a little bit early for us to leave so Gem and I went first to the beach side and the water is so inviting so we dipped our legs. Hehe. 

We arrived in Mablaran by 8am and good thing we were there early because we owned the place for one hour before the locals arrived and we were able to enjoy it. We left Mablaran Falls at 9:30am. Bhudz and Kuya John suggest we go to Agpudlos and wow. 

We just stayed there for a few minutes and there was something in the water that so itchy but other than that, it was an amazing place. 

We went back home (Yes. Home in San Andres) before lunch and cleaned up and fix our things since we were supposed to leave by 3pm to go to the port for we will be back in Manila. Our time to leave was at 5pm via Montenegro. (geez adjust your schedule for 2Go if you are planning to go anywhere via ferry). 

We arrived in Batangas Pier by 2am. Gem requested some Jollibee along the way and we arrived in Paranaque by 4:30am.

Romblon 2016 . Day 3

We slept early the night before by 10pm we're lights off already. We woke up like 4am because the (again) only trip going back to Sta. Fe will leave Hambil by 6am. We went outside first before leaving to witness a beautiful sunrise. 

Did you know that you can get to Carabao island via Caticlan? Yes. Just check the schedule. Carabao Island is just a boat away from the island of Boracay and Carabao Island is such a gem and it was hiding behind the fame of Boracay. Some even called it the twin of Boracay. The sand is even powdery than Boracay. I love the feeling of it on my feet and I'm missing it so bad now. 

~ 

So we left Hambil at 6am and we get in Sta. Fe by 7am. The jeepney going to Odiongan was already full when we get there. We have a choice to be on top of the jeepney but it is already full and another choice is motorcycle but since we are five it will be expensive and another 2 hours of travel without breakfast is bad news so we tried to walk towards Sta. Fe and there's another jeepney that is supposed to leave by 9am. We decided to eat first at some eatery that's already open. 

It was on a beach side so it wasn't boring to wait. There are kids who are swimming and the clouds is so amazing. 

We were back in Odiongan before 11am and we went to Tita's office and it was embarrassing since we are not presentable. Haha. What would you expect after a 2 hours travel. We can stay a bit longer on Hambil but we were about to attend a birthday party in the afternoon that's why we get back immediately. Gem advice me to bring pants which is very unusual for me to bring because I'm usually a short girl when traveling and I wasn't able to bring the pants in Hambil. Gem texted her mom to get my pants underneath my bag but she got another shorts. Haha. Epic fail but good thing she was able to get me another shirt because what was left on my bag was not presentable for a birthday party. Lol. 

As we are not as good as you expect us to be, Tita asked around on where we can take a bath before we eat lunch and we went to a house nearby where we took a bath. It will take time if we will go back to San Andres and go back in town for the birthday. So thankful to people who are welcoming other people to their home just to take a bath. Hehe. Their hospitality makes me amazed. (Thank you!) 

We went back to the office at almost 1am for lunch and look around for some eatery apparently the one where we were supposed to eat just have only 4 rice left. Gem and I bought chicken at a fast-food and it took us a while so they already ate without us since Tita needs to get back at the office. We look for rice at the other eatery but no rice left and we are nearly pissed like seriously no rice? Haha. We can still survive so the office offered to cook some rice but they cook too much for Gem and I. Haha. They served us like almost 4 cups of rice. Haha and guess what, we cleared the plate. Haha (too bad no before and after photo because of hunger). Then we sleep at a quarter. We sleep everywhere during this trip. Well, we do a lot of things everywhere. Haha

We were called at 5pm to leave for the birthday. We just ate and stayed only a few minutes at the birthday but we walked in the street after and waited for our ride going back to San Andres. 

Riding on a motorcycle from Odiongan to San Andres is such an experience. Almost 30 minutes and mostly no street lights and it's either going uphill or downhill with just an open field on the side. Much to appreciate life and NO TRAFFIC maybe the best to experience when we all have it here in the metro and that's one of my favorite thing in Romblon. 

Then it was our last night in Romblon.

Romblon 2016 . Day 2

Woke up at 4am, ate breakfast and we are on our way to Odiongan Market for us to get to Sta. Fe where we will ride a boat for 1 hour to Carabao Island. Unfortunately the jeep to Sta. Fe will leave at 9am and we were there at 6am already. The jeepney driver taught us that we can ride his jeep bound to Looc then from there we can transfer to a jeep to Sta. Fe. There's another option, hire a motorcycle to go straight to Sta. Fe but since we are 5 it will to expensive like it's 500 per ride or per head (I wasn't able to clear that but it's a bit pricey but rest assured that you'll get there fast). 

We were just right on time that we were able to ride the only trip to Sta. Fe and it went around the market where some of the residents who bought whole sale chips, fruits and vegetables boarded on the mini bus. It was an educational trip to experience and appreciate their lifestyle compare to the people who are in the metro. Everything in there was on schedule and there's just like few trip from one point to another. 

And it's a perfect day, we were just right in time for the another only trip to Carabao island for 100PHP. I was amazed (first timer alert! Haha because even motorcycle are being boarded on boats to be transferred from one island to another. Motorcycle is the main transportation in Romblon. Seems like everyone in the island have). It took us 1 hour to get there and it was a beautiful day. 

We get there before 11am and it was so freaking hot. We were offered an island trip to Kuding-kuding but they are offering us 700PHP ($17) and that's pricey according to Gem and I agree. 

We ate lunch at the eatery nearby and then we rested until the afternoon. Well mostly we just enjoy the good reception and WiFi because we don't have good signal ever since we left Batangas Port on Sunday morning. 

we were joking that we are the tourist of the week since it feels like there's no other tourist than ourselves. Haha. 

We went out like 3pm to take pictures and decided to swim by 5pm. The sun sets on the other side of the island so it's like a sunrise on the afternoon. We left the beach before dark and we decided to eat dinner at BB Bar and Cafe. We ate too much fats. Lol 

The electricity at Carabao island have a schedule and it's 1pm-11pm and 4am-6am.

Romblon 2016 . Day 1

Left the house before 5am then I was in JAM terminal in Kamuning before 6am to Batangas Pier. We are scheduled to leave Batangas Pier via 2Go by 10am ETA was 5pm/6pm. 

It was my first time to travel via ferry for that long and I like it because we just slept most of the time. Haha. But I know it's good at some point but it also eat up a lot of time. 

We arrived on time and we were welcomed by a breathtaking sunset sky. Omg it was amazing and I took that as a sign of not regretting my decision to go for it. 

From port of Odiongan we traveled at least 30 minutes to get to San Andres where we will be staying and there was no good reception. So perfect to be off grid for a while. 

We ate dinner then clean up, fix our things because we re going to Carabao Island early the next day.

On Repeat . Limitless

Limitless by Tonight Alive

Before my Romblon trip, I'm somehow getting over with CHVRCHES, FTSK and the B-sides of Paramore. I've been listening to that kind of Playlist ever since January (yep, that long). 

I'm gave Limitless a try and as usual, it's been on my iPod ever since. Haha. 

I fell in love to the songs. Obviously, every new album you can hear that the artist or the band grow up. I don't know if there is any artist who release an album in a span of a year usually it's 2, 3 or more than that before a band/artist release a new record unless it's a deluxe where they add one or two songs with acoustic or live. So if a new album drops, the artist really mature plus the inspiration of each song and their experience behind that. 

It's a 11 track album and you will hear everything in less than an hour. I can't pick a favorite because I can totally relate to some or can I say all of it? 

When the music video of "How Does It Feel" and "Human Interaction" was released, I thought I will not like the new album but I just find the music video misleading for some parts. Now, I can't deny that I love this album. 

This album makes me decide to push through my Romblon trip. It feels like Jenna is reminding me to get out there and enjoy life. (because I almost back out on that trip and I'm glad I didn't)

Here's the tracklist and a line that I like from each track. 

To Be Free - So don’t come looking for me | I don’t wanna be found | I just wanna run away and learn to be free

Oxygen - Just let me breathe my oxygen

Human Interaction - I don’t know love, I don’t know hate | I am numb, wish I could find the words to say

Drive - So I'm gonna drive tonight | Away from the city life

How Does It Feel - How can you say? | That I'm the only one | You only want your way

Waves - Your love comes in waves | Don't you ever wonder what it feels like?

Everywhere - I feel you everywhere | And when it rains | You're in the air

Power Of One - I can be strong and brave | But I have been lost and afraid

I Defy - You think that you own me | But you'll never take the best of me

We Are - But they're not gonna change the world | We are | They're not gonna save the world | We are

The Greatest - It takes lifetimes for some | To know what they're really here for

Nothing you could do

Nothing you could say

I am here at one

My light will never fade

And all that time I needed this change

It takes lifetimes for some

To know what they're really here for

Consider me a lucky one

Known since the day I was born

Cause here I am fearless

Here I am weightless

Here I am unbreakable

Here I am the greatest

Here I am soaring

Here I am flying

My love unconditional

Happiness undying

On Repeat. Somebody

Somebody by Skyler Wexler

I'm somehow grumpy since yesterday until today and I can't figure things out. I want to do so many things right now like hangout with friends but everyone is so busy and I am too and broke .. lol  but I also have another plans like watch the season finale of Orphan Black and the latest episode of Bones then re-watch OITNB since Season 4 will be out later. Reading a book is also on the list and maybe watch Finding Dory...

There are couple of post that are seating on my drafts that should be posted before this but since I'm a bit lost and somehow acting up right now, hopefully I'll be able to fix that within this month... So I can share with you my Romblon experience... One more thing that I want to do is travel ... again .. or maybe just travel forever ... 

Since I don't want other people to be affected with my shitness, I'm isolating myself more from the outside world and just keeping myself in my room ... 

I'm trying to figure what kind of music I want to put on repeat then I saw this video and I'm playing it non-stop and somehow I'm feeling better ... 

I'm also missing M. :( 

~

The message on the video is so true about Mental Illness and everyone should be aware of it... 

I know this is so unrelated to my personal rant posted above but as I also said before, we all have problems that may lead to something unexpected to happen since this tendencies are just sleeping inside of us ... 

Mental health does not discriminate.

Neither should you!

On Repeat . Playing God

Playing God by Paramore

People in life they will always not maybe always I'm trying to be optimistic about that. They will sometimes but usually always, take your kindness for weakness. 

Its very true, people will take your kindness for weakness but I think the bigger lesson is not to let you stop for being kind. The world is crazy and the world will trying to tell you that you need to be harsh and bitter and you know a badass to get through it but you don't have to. I think its more important and its actually cooler to be nice and much more cooler to be kind. 

Remembering that its cool to be kind and let them do whatever they want. Let them ripped you apart but don't let them take the light out of you. 

Lets try to encourage each other to be kind. Don't let them put out your light, ever. I know it sounds like a nursery rhyme but you know what, its true. Who cares if it does.
