Random . October 2022

Tattoo ideas. Where to put them. 

UAAP Opening day! 

Basketball all weekend. 

Life questions. 

Off the socials. 

I’ll take 2 so I will not cry like a baby all night. 

Can’t have too much backlog so I can go out on the weekend. 

Back to reading. Huhu that chapter made me tear up

Finished another book. Wow. Just wow. 

Brobabes this weekend!!! 

Workload is done. WEEKEND!!!!! 

YAY! Got Patron tickets for later!!!! Home court here we come!!! AHHH CUBAO!!!! 

Such a fun Saturday spending time with friends and basketball! 10.08.2022

Might as well feed the stalkers then cut them out. Lol 

Back to reality for the week and maybe another weekend with friends. 

Weird dream and so awkward #tv 10.12.2022

Taking a break from reading a book this week because I’m busy. While on break I’m already planning what to read next or I’ll choose randomly again. 

Reminder why I can’t have a tattoo on my left shoulder / back  

I never had a chance. I wish I did. #mantra 

Why does it feel that it is not valid when people are being too much. 

Entitled. 

As of this time, I think I’m letting go of Avril for the sake of tattoo and this month full of hangout with friends. (Might still change last minute) 

Why does it feel like that I just want to hide. 

The anxiety that you gave me years ago. Wtf. 

Why am I not too excited for today. I’m going to see friends and watch another basketball game with them but then I’m not as excited as last week. 

2 months after that weekend of Billie Eilish and All Time Low, I’m back in MOA. 10.15.2022

Another Saturday with friends and I miss them already. See you next week!!! 

I’m not surprise that Avril was postponed again. It wasn’t on the website ever since. 

Word vomit didn’t happened when I was outside today so, I guess I have to do it tonight. 10.16.2022 

Why do we have to explain people stuff. Why can’t they wait. Ugh. Monday frustrates me so much. 

Silent treatment. You deserve it. #21 10.17.2022 

Dream that I wish to be real. #21 10.18.2022

Things that I can’t say out loud. 

Frustrates me so much when you still believe and praise the current government but then will hear you complain on having no changes at all. Kindly fix your own issues before praising them. 

Global warming and climate change does not even depend on our political beliefs it’s because of how we live.  

These people need to go out more often than watching or listening to nonsense stuff. 

That’s why I do it so I will have an idea. 

Week long anxiety is killing me already. Basketball is saving me at the moment. 

I have trust issue. 

Nope. I don’t want to. 

The trauma you gave me is fucking real. That’s one reason why I don’t and will never forget. 

Blocked and unblocked. Part 2 10.20.2022

Huhu. Thank you!!! This lessen my anxiety 

If they totally ban kdramas then I think that will be the only time that they will get angry. 

I know I shouldn’t make that as a reason. 

Making time for whatever I missed. 

Friday errands. Glad I made it to weekend. 

Another weekend with Brobabes. 

Haven’t had enough sleep the past days and I think I was able to do it today. 

Booked my tattoo appointment for Friday!!! 

Adjustment. Week 1. 

I have trust issues ever since. 

Non-stop rain. Can’t remember the last time it rained all day. 

Panic attack is fucking real. 

Catching up on podcasts

People come and go. I should’ve get used to it by now but no. 

Just trying to help even for a little. 

Still believing with humanity. 

Why am I doubting this tattoo and why am I not excited. 

Errands but I don’t like when it rains. 

Tattoo time aka therapy. 

This electric flickering is delaying my work right now.

Don’t be fooled with the looks. 

Full plate for the rest of the year

UAAP S85 . 0-5

October 15 2022

Never in our 11 years of watching the UAAP that we started the season with a 0-5. As far as I remember never since FEU won the championship during Arwind Santos era or even way before that.  

This game is not really planned to watch live but since Kit requested to watch then wish granted. You can’t say no to the bro if he is the one making a request, well we can’t say no to him. Haha 

I made sure that he is sure that we will go to MOA to watch a 2pm game and he constantly say yes until earlier that Saturday with all the traffic he will start asking if we are still going. I’m already on my way by then. Haha 

I don’t usually watch when our schedule falls on a first game but luckily the arena wasn’t full for the 2 games. It was okay I needed to get out of home town as well and be reminded of the this kind of ambience. I still enjoy watching basketball from time to time. I know that at some point I will be able to miss this once the season is over and I just want to maximize the season. Appreciating it as well and living at the moment. 

Adamson was the 2nd game and we also still support Coach Nash. Gem was asking on when will be the time where she can have another photo with Coach Nash again. We went out after the 3rdQ of the 2nd game to have coffee and hangout a bit. 

An hour later she already booked a ride to BGC because they will have dinner. Right when we were walking to the parking I saw the daughter of Coach Nash and few moments later, I realized that it was Coach Nash who was walking in front of them! It’s not a very appropriate to ask for photo that moment but sorry coach I have to take your photo to send to Gem as proof! I still respect these people even I’m silently freaking out inside. Haha 

One of the best highlight of yesterday. 

We will not be watching any games for the rest of the 1st round so hopefully there will be a game or two to watch in the 2nd round that will be fitting just right on our schedule. 

Wasn’t able to have a proper dinner after the game and I was home early than usual. 

Still looking forward for a win for the next games. 

 

 

On Repeat . bitches broken hearts

 

On Repeat . come out and play

Brobabes 2022 . Back in Araneta

October 8, 2022 

As soon as the UAAP schedule was released, sent it to our group chat and planned the dates that we can watch. Mostly we can just watch the weekend game dates since everyone is busy and I can’t just travel to MOA every weekend just for a game. MOA is too far for me, petition for the second round to be back in Araneta! Lol  

I enjoyed going to MOA once in a while but commuting, you should have a different energy just for such. 

I don’t know why but when I saw that October 8 FEU vs UP will be in Araneta, I knew we should watch live. We haven’t been to Araneta for so long since the last season was mostly held in MOA and seriously, it’s been years. We also started this friendship in Araneta so, what a way to have reminisced the good old days. It’s our 11th year watching UAAP together as well but I can’t tell that it has been 11 seasons already because of the pandemic. 

So nostalgic to be back in Araneta for a UAAP game. I passed by from here and there and it still bring some more good vibes than MOA. MOA Arena have good lighting and good view but the Araneta holds so much memories and it is easy access to students as well since it is just a train away from U-Belt and Katipunan. 

Gem and I met at Gateway food court for lunch before we head inside the Coliseum to watch the 1st game. Kit as usual is late but this time he got good reasons. So happy that he was able to do lasik even though that he wasn’t a fan when I did it 2 years ago. It was his 1 week post op check up that day so he got to do that first before heading to Araneta. 

There’s too much renovation in Cubao, red gate wasn’t even open for entrance and exit. 

FEU didn’t win but this time it wasn’t about winning anymore it is just to have a good time and somehow forget the outside world for a few hours. Basketball somehow healed me in the past and because of our culture, it is already a part of us. 

We also had good audience for this game even some are required for their school attendance but it was a good crowd after so long Gem also misses the “wave”. 

UAAP was our “expensive season” in the past since every game will just be in Araneta, easy access of our commuting life and we used to watch all of the games of FEU no matter what. Good times. 

At least this time the game was over by 7pm and we can still have time to hang out longer unlike the past season that our game will start by 6pm. 

We had a hard time looking for a place to eat at Quezon City since it was a Saturday (one reason why I don’t go out on a weekend unless it is UAAP) lol. 

After dinner we look for a Starbucks to hangout and we end up the one in Marcos Hi-way near SM Masinag. 

I just missed hanging out with friends do some talking and fucking laugh out loud. Ahh normalcy. 

I also haven’t seen Kit for probably 6 months already while Gem in 4 months. The last time Gem and I were together was in Palawan and separate way at the airport when we got back in Manila. 

Hopefully more of that this month as long as we can watch the FEU games and as our schedules permits. Expensive season as it is since most of the games will be back at MOA Arena. 

Btw SM tickets, as per experience Araneta (Ticketnet / etix) do accept digital tickets now when you purchased it online and it will go straight to email even compatible with the Wallet app on iPhone. Paperless and convenient you should catch up so it can avoid people re-selling the tickets and even the scalpers (or not since they will really make a way to re-sell). 

Ok bye. 

Still hoping for a win for the next games so we will not be at the bottom of the standings.

Current standing of FEU for UAAP S85, 0-3 (as of 10.11.2022)  

   

Book . Before the Coffee Gets Cold

 

Past or present? 

You have one choice in your life to go time travel where will you go? 

What specific event it will be?

I personally can’t decide when I was done reading the book. There are times that I wish I can go back but reality hits that it will never be possible and it is already a part of who we are at the present then why change it. While on the other hand, the future is scary to know sometimes but there are times we just want to know but will you?

The book gave 2 example of both situation and it made sense after on what is the different outcome if you travel back to the past or to the future. 

With such opportunity, there will always be a risk and some consequences. Knowing both will you ever take it just to go back on a specific event? 

I know that there will always be a specific in our lifetime that you will dare to go whether it will be the past or the future. We all want to time travel but it will also ruin maybe the present or the future. 

We all have choices but one thing I learned in this life most especially after all the lockdowns due to COVID-19 we have to live in the present. There are mistakes that we cannot correct anymore but what you do after learning from it will be the game changer towards the future.  

I love this book and I will read the rest of the series but I think I will jump first to another book then go read the next one. 

This also made me tear up.
