ask me no questions

i had lunch at my bff's house today. it was fun-as always. there was great food, great company, laughter and kids.

as i was going home, my friend B1 asked me if i knew the latest about G and B2. i didn't so i so she told me about it. the thing is, the story happened to B2 way back in college, some 8 years or so. G wanted to know if the so-called story was true. so she asked B1 and B2 (separately, of course). B1 didn't have any idea especially since it didn't concern her. however B2 denied the "allegation". they left the matter at that. but today B2 uttered the words "i hate her". her being G! ooooppsss!

i think a conflict is in the works for G and B2--yet again! they had quite a falling out a couple of years ago but i thought it was over. now a new one is brewing?? i hope not.

in my own personal opinion, i would rather let sleeping dogs lie. it happened in the past, let it stay there. besides, it's not G's life but B2's. she can be shocked to the high heavens but at the end of the day, who is she to question B2's choices. we all are different people with different views and principles.

that said, ask me no questions and i'll tell you no lies. = )

have a great day!

no one but me

i started this blog way back in 2009. but i stopped writing because i just got too caught up with motherhood, work, the bf and life... you know how it goes. anyway.

this year, i decided to resurrect my blog from the dead and decided to write daily. then i realized that was just too unrealistic. so i dared to do at least 2 posts a week. i did it--sometimes! i mean when i travel, i don't bring my computer. not only is it additional baggage for me but i really have to time to write/surf etc. it's useful only for watching movies and if my power runs out? so that's out.

also, i have bad eyes. or sick eyes for that matter. and now more than ever, my eyes are really failing me. my left eye twitches and it scares me. my optician told me before that my right eye was weak so my left eye compensates. i didn't put too much stock in it until this week. yes, the twitching and watery eyes. i went so far as to shut my left eye and used my right eye only. it was indeed blurred. i couldn't make out faces or shapes or letters with a distance of only 3 meters. i was that nearsighted! that meant less computer time, hence less blog posts.

having said that, my blog is so obscure, i don't know if anyone but me knows it exists. sad it may be, it is the truth. i mean, what is the point of writing if no one else can read it. but the thing is, i don't really care. i don't have excellent memory. things tend to overlap or get lost in my memory bank. that is why i have a journal, a diary to remind of what i did that particular day etc. and this blog is one way of keeping tabs with my life. i will read back and recall my thoughts and musings last month or last week.

so even if no one but me reads this, i will keep on writing. who knows, a random commenter just might be lurking around the corner... = )

zipline

i did that! no, that's not me but i was able to do the zipline thing for real!

the bf and i wanted to try the newest in our place. although we are a bit late for this so-called adventure. it opened last year but we didn't want to join the crowd.
we kept putting it off that it took us until this week to actually decide to go.
we planned it for monday afternoon but they close on mondays so we decided tuesday. unfortunately, the weather was bad so it became wednesday. by wednesday, when we were already there, they closed the place down for a wedding reception! ugh!
i had lost any desire of going until the bf said let's go now!
thursday it is!

so we paid, got outfitted with safety harness and helmet and whatnot and rode the golf cart to the take off point-which was quite high by the way.
when we got there, i wanted to go back. i was scared, my palms were sweaty just looking at the 600 meter cable. even the bf was sweating already.

i was up first. when i was asked to get down to start zipping, i wanted to shout no! but when it started it was absolutely wonderful!!! not scary at all... plus the view was amazing.
i shouted back to the bf "it's nice" so as not to scare him! hahaha!
he admitted he got challenged knowing i was able to do it, so he followed suit. the only scary part for me was at the end where they had stoppers/brakes. it was kind of bumpy but other than that, it was all worth it!

afterwards, i got kind of sleepy what with all the adrenaline pumping! but i would go through it again in a heartbeat!

just had to post this. it's summer time!

everything will be better in the morning

you know what they say, if something's bothering you, go to sleep. things won't be so bad in the morning. trust me, its true.
yesterday, the bf and i were sort of in a quarrel. ok, i admit, it was just me. it's just that i got a bit irritated by him and knowing men, who are sensitive as ever, well he had to ask! anyway, as usual for him it was nothing--petty me. and quite naturally, last night i couldn't sleep. my mind was churning and wandering and thinking of so many things: dismal, morbid and tragic. i slept late (although i think it was partly due to caffeine too) and woke up early today. but i had to, it's Monday-flag ceremony and all.
anyway, as i started my day and i had eaten breakfast i realized that misunderstanding was really due to what else? misunderstanding!
and the bf totally made up for yesterday's gaffe. so all's well.

mama mia!

my mother and father left for a week's vacation recently. that meant i was in charge of the household. not good!
for one, i had to think about food. and i'm not good at that. my mom was responsible for feeding us. all i had to do was sit and eat. but with her gone, i had to consider the menu for breakfast, lunch and dinner! not to mention snacks for the help. well because i could only make desserts, i had to resort to buying cooked food! and to tell my brother to eat out just so i wouldn't have to worry about what to feed him.
also, i couldn't just go travel with the bf since no one would be left with the baby. instead, i went out of town with baby and yaya in tow. out of town with my girlfriends. it was such fun but exhausting too. and my baby not used to sleeping at a stranger's house. oh it was my bff's house but he felt weird and slept quite late already.
so while i may be dreaming of living in my own house, with my own furniture and stuff, i guess the One up there knows i'm not quite ready yet. if i can't deal with meals for a short week? what hope is there for me? = ) yep, at my age, i still need my mama!

how can people be so rude?

i have observed this quite a number of times and it really irks me to think that most Filipinos are rude.
i am a small town girl and i am a product of a Catholic school. i know my manners. but somehow it's hard to see much older people who hardly show common decency or courtesy. it makes me want to ask where on earth is respect. just because you're older does not mean you cannot respect others.
for instance, not holding the door when someone is behind you or walking quite slowly (because you're texting) along a busy pathway or even simply giving up your seat for old people are quite easy things to do but others can't seem to do it.
in fact i have read in Reader's Digest several years ago when they conducted a study regarding this. Filipinos failed! it's not unbelievable, i tell you. just go to any public place and you'll see what i mean.
earlier today, i was at the supermarket. i was only paying for 2 items so i kindly asked the woman in front of me if i could pay first considering she had about 6 full baskets with her. she rudely said, no and said she was first blah, blah,blah. so i explained that i was only going to pay for 2 items and it wouldn't even take a minute but her husband interruped that he had already placed a basket on the counter, so no! thankfully the i saw a lady in the next counter who was waiting for her turn (with even more baskets than them) and when i asked she allowed me to. it didn't even take me 30 seconds and i was done. i turned back to her and said my thanks.
despite the overwhelming number of rude people, at least there are still a considerate few...
