2018



There are some vivid memory of early this year. This year I decided to make a trip to Jakarta a month away from the concert of Paramore. Met some very nice people because of that impulsive decision, visited Jakarta twice since the February show was cancelled. 

Can't remember much but all I know was, I invested most of my time keeping track with Paramore while waiting for August. Then been so broke after it. Lol. I saw Halsey too and I fall in love with her even more. 

Been to Palawan for Tita Bing's 60th birthday party. Then come back 2 months later for her funeral. Palawan trip was already different when we all came back there so as to future trips. 

November was a huge challenge for the family too since my grandmother was getting weak each day and she passed on December 3rd. She was also rushed to ICU the day I was scheduled to fly to Palawan for Tita's birthday but my mom said go and for Tita Bing, I pushed it through. No regrets. I'm sure people will also understand if only they knew. 

Whatever have an ending maybe ended this year. Some might hate 2018 while some love it so much that they don't want to let this year go. It might be an ending for some but it's also a beginning for others. 

I was rereading my monthly rants and one thing for sure, I lost me-time this year. Meaning I lost a day on reflecting on what happened every event. To be honest until know I'm lost, I'm just really forcing myself to write this up so for the sake of reflection and to release some crazy thoughts. I think that I wasn't able to grieve for losing 2 women who's an inspiration on different aspects. 

This year was a challenge and it is continuing to challenge me even on its last days. As always a year is one roller coaster ride. I literally forget to mention some important but I'm still and forever be thankful for the laughter and sadness of this year. It was a great experience and a lesson even this last month was all rushing. Time won't slow down and the universe doesn't want us to have down time. My ending, no time to reflect and I feel like 24 hours in not enough. 

There are so many to mention but all I got was some recent memories. Some of it I already let go. 

One highlight is that I really tried to get rid of Facebook but I consider is as an open communication for some like classmate from grade school, high school and most especially college. It's still a major role for most people but I control my usage, that's a huge effort. It was this year when I was bashed by someone on social media. It was terrible. 

I hit the most rock bottom of my life.

But I got my way back on my track even it's a little bumped. 

I got 5 tattoos in one session after 2 years. It was satisfying. 

Even on the last day of this year, I think it's rushing to the end. 

One last, sorry if somehow I disappointed you. Also, thank you to the people who believed.

I think this is enough for my year-end post. 

Whether you had a happy or sad 2018, let's just be thankful for it. There is really something nice despite of the bad ones. 

Wishing us all strength and guidance from above for 2019. 

Happy New Year.

On Repeat . Without Me (Live Lounge)

Without Me by Halsey


Found you when your heart was broke

I filled your cup until it overflowed

Took it so far to keep you close (Keep you close)
I was afraid to leave you on your own
I said I'd catch you if you fall

And if they laugh, then fuck 'em all (All)

And then I got you off your knees
Put you right back on your feet
Just so you can take advantage of me
Tell me how's it feel sittin' up there

Feeling so high but too far away to hold me

You know I'm the one who put you up there
Name in the sky
Does it ever get lonely?
Thinking you could live without me
Thinking you could live without me
Baby, I'm the one who put you up there
I don't know why (yeah, I don't know why)
Thinking you could live without me
Live without me
Baby, I'm the one who put you up there
I don't know why (I don't know why, yeah yeah)
Gave love 'bout a hundred tries (hundred tries)

Just running from the demons in your mind

Then I took yours and made 'em mine (made 'em mine)
I didn't notice 'cause my love was blind
Said I'd catch you if you fall (fall)

And if they laugh, then fuck 'em all (all)

And then I got you off your knees
Put you right back on your feet
Just so you can take advantage of me
Tell me how's it feel sittin' up there

Feeling so high but too far away to hold me

You know I'm the one who put you up there
Name in the sky
Does it ever get lonely?
Thinking you could live without me
Thinking you could live without me
Baby, I'm the one who put you up there
I don't know why (yeah, I don't know why)
Thinking you could live without me
Live without me
Baby, I'm the one who put you up there
I don't know why, yeah
You don't have to say just what you did

I already know (I know)

I had to go and find out from them
So tell me how's it feel (oh-woah)
Tell me how's it feel sittin' up there

Feeling so high but too far away to hold me

You know I'm the one who put you up there
Name in the sky
Does it ever get lonely?
Thinking you could live without me
Thinking you could live without me
Baby, I'm the one who put you up there
I don't know why (yeah, I don't know why)

On Repeat . Without Me (Victoria Secret Fashion Show 2018)


I knew that she will perform at the Victoria's Secret but dang I had no idea that it will be like this. After watching it couple of times I wish the there a specific camera just for Halsey. 

I haven't listen to this song because I was so into Trench or Malibu Nights when it was released and now that I'm so done with Malibu Nights and soon to be over with Trench here I am listening now to other artists. Slowly I know I'm going to listen to the others. lol

I saw her last August and until today, I'm glad that I did. 

Again, if ever she will pass when it's near you, please see her live. 


I'll put the music video for Without Me below too.

Last Saturday



I decided to get out of town on a weekend since all I thought that I will be having a dinner with friends but didn't happen. I somehow not sure if going out was worth it though, I was able to buy something I need and satisfied my cravings. 

I don't usually go out on weekends because traffic and too many people on the mall and elsewhere so I rather stay at home. 

2 hours from hometown to Megamall. 
3 hours in Megamall just roaming around. Realized that online shopping is more fun and less hassle. 
2 hours in home court. 
1.5 hours going home. 

I didn't regret going out last Saturday since I was able to clear my head. 
For once again, I was a nobody in a crowd. 

I didn't shop anything I don't need and honestly ever since last month I'm trying so hard not to buy the unnecessary. Except for what I'm eyeing but not now. Not yet. Lol 

To be honest, it feels good even though that friends cancelled that dinner. 

I'm good not going out for maybe the rest of the year since it will be a very busy December but waiting for that rescheduled dinner with Brobabes.

Random . November 2018


Time with cousins. 

Planning my future tattoos will keep me sane for the rest of my lifetime. 

Thank you. #21

What long weekend? 

Another reunion with friends. 

As much as I think that I'm trapped in here, I just realized that I'm really not. 

Good thing I decided to leave when I went to college. 

Grow up. 

Trying not to buy some unnecessary stuff ever since last month. It's been a real challenge. 

Happy birthday, daddy. 

Wtf. Hahaha long time no see, ex-bff first love. Lol

Another day that I tapped myself at the back and assuring that I'm really my father's daughter. 

I smell comparison on the coming weeks. 

People will not fully understand how life works. Oh yeah, they don't have a fucking idea about it. 

Been invisible for so long. I'm not expecting to be visible now. 

The system isn't perfect don't act like it is. 

Happy birthday, sissy. 

This 11.11 is making me anxious. / Yay! For straight 3 years, I was able to have a good deal during 11.11. 

The system is the main reason why. 

Defense mechanism or not stop the bullsht. 

When things are okay, people don't care. When things are complicated, people will show up to make you confused. 

This is rude but I'm somehow thankful that we weren't exposed to that side. 

Happy Fiesta, hometown. 

Been a while since I went out of town for leisure. 

Will I regret going to the mall on a weekend? Surprise. I didn't regret it. 

Oh well. That was a good run, FEU. See you next season. 

Goal achieved: no UAAP basketball ticket for this season. 

This is one reason why I didn't pursue the medical field. 

I was in Nashville for a brief moment watching Hayley to finally get a hair dye once again. 1127 

Not feeling good on a busy week. Hopefully I'll be okay in the morning.  

What if we ditch it? Lol.

I want to be nice to people but when they don't have common sense, oh fck. 

Thank you, November. You've been nice‎

On Repeat . 9 Crimes (Damien Rice cover [Live Lounge])


Leave me out with the waste
This is not what I do
It's the wrong kind of place
To be thinking of you
It's the wrong time
For somebody new
It's a small crime
And I've got no excuse
Is that alright?
Give my gun away when it's loaded
Is that alright?
If you don't shoot it how am I supposed to hold it
Is that alright?
Give my gun away when it's loaded
Is that alright
Is that alright with you?
Leave me out with the waste
This is not what I do
It's the wrong kind of place
To be cheating on you
It's the wrong time
But she's pulling me through
It's a small crime
And I've got no excuse
Is that alright?
Give my gun away when it's loaded
Is that alright?
If you don't shoot it how am I supposed to hold it
Is that alright?
Give my gun away when it's loaded
Is that alright
Is that alright with you?
Is that alright?
Is that alright?
Is that alright with you?
Is that alright?
Is that alright?
Is that alright with you?
No
