29

Image
So where do I go from here? Time won't stand by forever if I know it's true and I've learned not to say never or else I'll seem the fool. 29 you'd think I'd know better living like a kid. When my lies may seem less than clever is when I fall for it So it's the last day of my 20s. And like the Gin Blossoms' song, it was fast and I thought I'd knew better by the age of 29.

When You Fall in Love

Image
from The Lover's Dictionary by David Levithan For someone who hasn't been in a relationship for more than 4 years (or 5, I really don't remember), and does not even know what a real date feels like, I get to hear a looooot of love problems. I really don't get it, sometimes I fell that they just need someone to listen, but I can't help but give unsolicited advice, especially if it's the " kamot ulo " kind. I also realized that I always tell them the same things. So here I am to take note of those things. I will try to keep it short... if I can. Love yourself first - I think this is a given. I don't think it needs any explanation. It takes two to make a relationship work - If your partner has given up, and has said/showed it time and time again. I don't see any reason why you should waste your time to make it work. Yes people change, but they have to want it for themselves - Never love a person for what the person can become. Never ...

#TBT: Bakit ang mahal maging tanga?

Image
In line with the #TBT hashtag, my lack of old decent pictures, and my goal to update this blog often, here are throwback posts that features a series of my favorite, embarrassing, and memorable blog posts. October 4, 2011 Naniniwala ako sa "Balance of Nature". Hindi pwedeng maganda at matalino ka ng sabay (Oo, bitter ako. Maganda lang kasi ako pag naayusan kaya pagbigyan niyo na). Ang ganda ko ngayon. Maayos ang buhok, naka skirt, slight make-up, poised, naka heels buong araw. Positive rin yung outlook ko kasi sa buwan na 'to kaya siguro may aura akech. Mahal ko si Elmer. Mahal ko ang Android. Pero ang rami kong kaibigan na naka BB kaya nate-tempt ako mag BB na rin. Sinasabi ko lang sa sarili ko na kelangan di ko na magamit si Elmer bago ako bumili ng phone. Kagabi lang may ka-text ako. Nung isang araw pa lang, ang labo ng signal ng globe. Iniisip ko baka dahil sa bagyo. Ngunit kagabi bago ako matulog wala ng signal ang phone ko... hanggang kaninang pag g...

Cooking for one: Couscous + Sausage + Spinach Salad

Image
I love to cook. I find cooking therapeutic. I love experimenting in the kitchen. But since I live alone, I usually cook for one. And since I want to blog more often, maybe I can blog about cooking for one. I bought couscous from Healthy Options since I have never tried it before. I guess that would be a plus point since I have no idea what it should taste like. Looking for recipes, I stumbled upon this . It seems easy for a first timer and I think I can make up for some of the ingredients. If I have cooked for you before, you know that I don't usually follow measurements or the recipe. I go for instincts and imagination . So for this one, I added a few other ingredients like bell peppers, olives, cheese,

Why I love this game

Image
When I was a kid, my brothers (well 2 of them) and my dad were (and still are) big Ginebra fans. I remember watching it with them not understanding anything but cheering with them as what any kid would do. But everything changed when I saw him: from interaksyon.com Ladies and gentlemen, the player that made me love the game. I loved him first because he was cute, he's fast and because of his hail mary shots. I don't know anything about him back then (there was no wikipedia and dial up was hell) except that he graduated from UST.

Wasting internet space, one post at a time

Image
I was planning on fixing my template first before creating my first real post but I realized, why rebuild something if you want to start fresh anyway? So here I go, starting fresh, starting new, deleting my old blogs (a lot down, one more to go... and tumblr). What made me decide to start a new blog you ask? Well I've been contemplating on it for a long time already, but never made a move since I know I'll be  too busy  to post and just might neglect my new blog. But  this  post has always bothered me. At first, I'd try to explain that it's not really negativity or sadness anymore, it's more just this detached, meaningless fog  where you can't feel anything about anything — even the things you love, even fun things  — and you're horribly bored and lonely, but since you've lost your ability to connect with any of the things that would normally make you feel less bored and lonely, you're stuck in the boring, lonely, meaningless void without anythin...
