Random . October 2024

Why do I look unbothered? Because I’m tired saving the world and I realized, I’m no super hero

When everything you touched disappear on thin air

Let’s just rest this weekend

You don’t have to compete on my only friend because at some point you will never win 

I may never afford another Dr. Martens again. I just realized how marked up they’ve become. I should’ve got those 3 pairs for under 20,000 pesos pre-pandemic 

I don’t know where the right way to start this thing

Maybe I have a quick fix

People will never believe that some websites are slow during the weekend

OTP sometimes are lame. How can you make such progress when you need an OTP but then you don’t receive anything. 

Another oversized toddler

I can’t talk to you because that might be my last string 

I’m so anxious right now that I can’t stop scrolling socials. Help. 

P R I O R I T I E S 

Coffee today so I can feel something 

Uninterrupted yoga after months. 

When traffic makes me so frustrated

My goal was not to be rained on my way to the train but traffic got different plans 

After being rained on we should win the game today. 

AND WE WON IN OVERTIME!!!!! 

When the dogs have different plan at 4AM

Basketball weekend. 

When you depends on other people

#dream a quick Paramore show that was just announced on the same day that was almost cancelled because of delayed flight but then pushed through. Why not. 

Is this caffeine or anxiety

Turns out that I’m still not used when people leave. Makes me think that I should be the one to leave

How long will I be able to hold on. Everything is getting out of hand. 

I think we both know the answer to that and the main question, will you ever feel it with how we are surviving this reality? Maybe not. 

Stress. Anxiety. Insomnia. I’m clearly not happy that you are all back together. 

I’m shutting down again. 

Already thought today is Friday. 

Not sure if that becomes a choice or fate already.  

Vet day 

If it doesn’t just because of a wake. How long it will take again. 

Woke up on the wrong side of the bed

Had my reasons that I believe I have to keep for now. 

#dream that overdue date with you. I miss you. #21

What happened to NU. 

#dream visiting a friend thousand of miles away. 

Milk with a little coffee for today

Almost an hour on queue but I think that’s even better compared to the other one. M2M tickets, secured. 

COACH NASH!!!!! HAHAHA  

Hi, ex-bestie. Lol @ Starbucks (Sierra) 10.30.2024 

That plot twist yesterday. Lol 

Cebu 2024 . Sept 22 (Day 4)

Finally, the only day that we slept until 8AM. No more itinerary for today except for flight back to Manila but since we avail late check out we can still go to SM.

It’s Gem’s birthday!!! Maybe the only day that we were together on someone’s birthday after years of celebrating it late. Greeted my dude upon waking up then we had breakfast and movie early in the morning. Maybe we watched 2 movies that morning then when we were about to order lunch it says on the app that it will took 1 more hour before it got delivered so we decided to just cross the street and eat at SM. 

Of course out of every restaurant we went to one of our go-to restaurant which is Pizza Hut. Ordered pasta and pizza and while waiting I bought a cake for Gem. We walked for a while after eating then it’s time to go back to check out. 4PM going to the airport for our 8PM flight is still early but got no other choice since we have baggages. Maybe if we don’t have any baggages then we can squeeze in Ocean Park but I guess there will always have a reason to go back to Cebu since I also wanted to do snorkeling / diving in there as well, one day at least I crossed off some places to see in Cebu. 

We spent some time at the airport where I was able to do a little more damage and then we decided to get some Dunkin’ where there’s some available photo card of SB19 which Gem’s love these days and the cashier was so nice she gave us 2 cards instead of 1. That my friends how Gem went to Cloud 9 right away. Haha It took me to eat 2 donuts and drink a little bit of coffee and that is nothing to make your friend happy on her birthday even you are stuck at the airport. Lol 

Another on time flight to Manila and I’m just thankful that we left and we came back to hometown without rain and even when we were in Cebu and Bohol. That’s one thing I worry but we were given a very nice weather even we sweat so much I will take that than rain most especially when on a trip. Thank you, travel and weather gods.

See you again soon, Cebu!

I'm actualIy thinking of watching LANY in Cebu but ... :|

Cebu 2024 . Sept 21 (Day 3)

Itinerary for today, city tour and Simala church. 

Another day, another waking up at 3am to get ready because we leave at 5AM. 

First of the day, Simala and our driver advice us to leave at 5AM so we be there before 8AM. Little did we know that it will open at 8AM and there’s a mass on Saturday, we arrived at 7AM. We still lined up since we are still early. I’m not catholic but I respect it so we stayed for a while until the mass but it is in their local language that I can’t understand most of it.

Gem and I left after the readings then just waited outside while they attend the mass and for their rosary to be blessed. Learned that there's a museum there but Saturday is a busy day so we weren't able to see it

Next stop was Carcar where we ate lechon as an early lunch and tasted some newly cooked Chicharon that I badly wanted to take home but can’t. 

Next was Sirao Garden where you should lessen the expectation but the food didn’t disappoint. Love that banana cue and I wish I got just plain mango shake. But if you wanted to do a photoshoot for your socials it's for you. 

Next stop was Temple of Leah which was amazing, just wow. 

Next was souvenir shop at Shamrock then Magellan’s cross and cathedral. 

Last was 10,000 roses even though it doesn’t look like 10,000 to me. hehe

Wasn’t able to decide where to eat so we just decide at SM and Gem and I wanted something than fried food. We settled at SM and ate Sinigang na Salmon and Laing then shopped at the grocery store for last minute.

Gladly we were able to avail late check out the next day that we don’t need to rush. 

Goodnight for the last time, Cebu!

Cebu / Bohol 2024 . Sept 20 (Day 2)

 

Woke up at 3am to prepare for the day. It’s so early but as long as it doesn’t rain lets go. 

We took Oceanjet to Bohol for 800php for one way but we already bought 2 tickets already so that it will be hassle going back in the afternoon. We took the first trip to Bohol at 6am and got there at 8am. 

Our driver was already waiting there when we arrived. 

First stop, Chocolate Hills but it will take some time to be there so we all squeeze in sleep when we can. I thought we will be able to pass by the area for the whale shark but since we came from the port, we took a different route going there. We don’t plan doing the ATV so it will just be a quick thing. We went to the viewing deck that we missed last April because we enjoyed ATV so much. Same feeling when we are doing island hopping in El Nido, it feels like I’m just seeing the Chocolate Hills on a screen its so breathtaking. 

Next stop was tarsiers then man-made forest then lunch at Loboc River then Sikatuna. 

Maybe my favorite will be the Chocolate Hills and Man-made forest then lunch and maybe I’ll never going back there again, soon though I really want to go back to Bohol for diving or for the whale shark again but I guess another trip to the country side don’t hurt after all.

We were done with all the tour before 4PM and we were able to catch the second to the last trip going back to Cebu. 

That 4 hours trip going to Tagbilaran and going back to Cebu was smooth but it fucked my emotions and feelings for real.

We ate at Pungko Pungko sa Fuente right away. Went to leave our bags and we go to SM first to stroll because SM City Cebu is just across on where we stay and they closes at 10PM. 

Went for some hot drinks because its too much pork and fried food already in our system. Lol

Bought popcorn too since we got microwave that will be good with a movie tonight. 

Cebu - Bohol with the dude, check.

Cebu 2024 . Sept 19 (Day 1)

Booked this last March before I even left for Palawan and Bohol. Lol

So our flight is still at 5 PM that’s why I’m so confident to leave even at 2 PM but the people I’m with this trip are so excited that they want to leave by 12 noon. Lol they are so excited that they even plan their outfit and so excited prior to this month. Can’t blame them but as they are all excited Gem wasn’t even aware of the trip. Haha. I messaged her 1 week prior but for different reason and I end up saying “see you on Thursday” and she got no idea what I’m talking about. 

We left to the airport by 1 PM and in just 1 hour we already arrived and we don’t even have a gate yet until the last 1 hour before our flight. 

Waiting for flight is one of my favorite because we don’t have to do anything just wait and eat. 

My main concern for this trip is the weather. One week before our trip there are news about typhoons not just one but possibly three. I didn’t book anything yet except for the accommodation because our itinerary includes Bohol and if the weather will be bad we probably can’t cross to Bohol. 

It was a smooth flight and very on time I’m impressed. 

Hello, Cebu! I heard much about you and I’m excited to be here. 

We checked in first before dinner and Gem decided to sleep on first and for all because she hasn’t got decent sleep the past days. 

We ate at IT Park and it was good. 

Walk for a bit then bought some supplies and then head back on where we are staying because it will be early for our trip to Bohol.
