Five Bullet Points

Just five bullet points that kept me sane the past weekend (also a list of free things I would love to remember):

• Beautiful summer clouds.
• Long phone calls and relevant BBM messages.
• Not blaming yourself for relationships that did and will not work out.
• Hanging out with my Mount Analogue boys on a quiet Sunday.
• The effort someone makes to bring me home safe after a crazy night at Terno/the feeling of being taken care of.

Hello!

Randomity At Its Finest

This is a very random post in which I just want to show-off my seafoam green nails because I’ve finally figured that it’s my favorite shade of green. It was a crazy debate with mint, that’s why!

Anyway, I’ve been staying in for two days already. Nothing quite special except that I haven’t consumed red meat in five days. It feels great and I’m actually considering it for good but I think I can’t … corned beef, I just can’t give up corned beef. And my Mom’s pork chops … Gah.

Oh well, how was your vacation? Are you also staying in or are you actually somewhere else? If your answer is the latter then stay off the internet and skip this post! Go and take a walk along the shore or look at the lovely stars! Nature is amazing!

So, yeah, enjoy the longer weekend everyone! Bye!

That Life Trip

I’m the kind of person who usually gets tired of routine. I’m always in for something new and repetition in life is not really my cup of tea. But when redundancy could not be avoided, then a break is all I need.

The chaos of work, gigs, family, friends, chores, and personal relationships took me restless for the last two weeks. With this, I decided to take a sole trip back to our hometown San Jose. I also took advantage of the fact that I was on a four-day leave from work.

This is not the kind of trip that changes ones life but it sure was refreshing! The calmness I get every time I visit San Jose is something I wouldn’t mind having every day. It’s hard to explain but that city is an upper of sorts. Four to six hours of travel up north is very worth it. (Plus I love provincial bus rides!)

Anyway, I’ll let the photos do the talking! I was only able to take a few from that trusty Blackberry I own so yeah, here they are!

Day one: Baliwag Transit going north.

Provincial bus ticket and my chipped nail polish. (P.S. It's fun to count the amount of your ticket in holes)

Land, water, and structure somewhere in Bulacan.

Unlimited goto for 15php! This just beat the tenant in our compound who has the same promo except theirs is for 25php!

Day two: All sorts of tomatoes in the market! Heaven!

Happy 8th birthday, Up Dharma Down!

It’s amazing to know that the band who I have been following for 7 years turns 8 today. And it’s not all about being a fan since it’s also about friendship, taste, and trust.

I’ve met some of my best friends through this band. I have found and lost love through them, too. It’s just a wonderful feeling to know these people for so long and I definitely have no regrets in terms of anything.

The teenage takas-to-gigs, the sermons I got from my Mom for staying out late, all the money I’ve spent for gig entrances – these are actually nothing compared to what I’ve earned which are good music, friendship, and happiness!

Two more years to a decade! Thank you and I love you, UDD!

Dark Chocolate

What always happens: Me knowing a guy at his worst, mending his mistakes, falling for him, being with him then eventually breaking up with him when he’s at his best.

And that’s why now, I have doubts in my head and a fear of securing myself into a relationship. It’s not about trust or love, it’s about timing. And timing sucks. And being too scared to take risks while learning timing sucks.

Life per se cannot depend on fate – like how that old song goes “Whatever will be, will be.” Nope. Because in time, what happens in life is basically our own doings and/or doings by other people who we have allowed to take and make such actions in our lives. Fate is sweet, yes. But having the ability to twist it might just make things sweeter.

I know I’m not heading to a clear point with this entry. It’s just that there are things I would like to fix and would love to happen but could not. And I just can’t wait for fate because time is a bitch, and time can do anything to fail you.

Will I wait or will I do something? Will I push things the way I want them to or will I let them occur?

These are the questions in which its answers only lie after the end. And the end could be sweet, sour, or bitter. Life takes its pick.
