April Full(s) Perhaps, I have also been pranked by my expectations last ***April Fool's***. I thought that I can already go home in the second week of April and that's why I paid for a downpayment on the room rental wherein I would be staying in Bacolod. It does not just happen once, but twice. If not on the second week of April, I thought it could be at the end of the month after payday. *Oh, well*. *It's a prank, again!* My confirmed flight will be on ***May 15.*** I have…
The Renewal Of Goals It seems that I haven't been on track lately. I was just that happy-go-lucky one who doesn't care much about if ever I can't reach the goals I aimed for or not. I wasn't that serious about the words that I have said and I just treated it as no big deal every time I failed. Then, I'll keep on saying that I'll thrive harder in the next months. I am a liar and a traitor to myself, much worst, also a hypocrite. These past few months, I only have achieved a…
Die Being Prepared Of all those plans and dreams that we keep thriving to achieve, have you ever thought of preparing for our last day living here on Earth? Maybe, it doesn't pass by our thoughts yet since we always think that we are still too young to die. There are still a lot of things that we want to do. There are still a lot of places that we wanted to visit. There are a lot of things that we wanted to experience. There are still a lot of things that we are saving up…
Listless, Wednesday. Perhaps, it is because of the weather. It's so hot that we need to turn on the Air Conditioner every night. I'm not used to having a fan or air conditioner when sleeping because I often caught a cold or flu easily. I just wrapped myself in a blanket all night, so it wouldn't be that cold. But since we turn on the air conditioner, I always felt so listless from the moment I woke up until the evening. Not just that, I think I'm having symptoms of a runny…
When Your Child Takes After You But Is Too Spoiled If it's not the timing of our schedules it's the network signal that prevents us from communicating. I haven't contacted my Mom for a few days now. I miss seeing my daughter's smile even though she doesn't like to talk to me that much. I can't blame a child since it is me that is at fault there. If I'm always there by her side guiding her most of the time, maybe we are as close as she is close to my family members. I'm not…
Online Shopping For My Room I'm coming home on May 15 and since I would stay in a boarding house, I don't have a single thing in it. I have to start from zero to my beddings down to the sanitary necessities. Initially, I planned to shop there when I got home but I remembered that my flight was in the morning and I will be arriving there at about 10 am. I would be waking up early in the morning to go to the airport since I have to be there two hours before my scheduled…
5.5 Budol Pt.2 Yesterday, I have shared the items that I purchased for my room at the boarding house. Time surely flies faster when you are too busy to check on it from time to time. In just 7 days to go and I'll be departing for home. I can't contain my excitement already while thinking about it. How I wish that it will be tomorrow already. *Teehee!* Anyway, aside from those necessities that I have shared yesterday, I also bought some groceries that I found on Shopee Mall…
Deliveries and Mother's Day After a bunch of budol finds the last 5.5 Sales of May 5, what comes next is the deliveries. There comes the exciting part of tracking your parcels and waiting for the courier to knock at your doorstep. I used my best friend's name and address at Bacolod as the receiver since I know that I can't make it until the delivery date. I have his consent, so it's fine. This morning, he messaged to ask if I have a parcel that is about to be delivered…
It's the Election Day But I can't vote. When I registered to be a voter last **2019**, it was a month before I would be going here to Metro Manila to work. I did that because I didn't expect a call from my Aunt to work here. Then when I'm already here, a pandemic has sparked that caused lockdowns all over the country and to the whole world. Since then, I got afraid to go out and I'm always avoiding crowded places, so I wouldn't get infected by the virus. In almost three…
The Package Is On The Way! Maybe, some of you are already tired of reading articles from me about my incoming flight on Sunday. I apologize but this is going to be another one about it again. It's just that what I'm doing mostly these days is preparing myself, so I wouldn't struggle hard adjusting again when I get home. It's all that I can think of sharing here for now. Actually, I have 4 parcels that arrived there first in Bacolod today that were received by my best friend.…
A Simple Tatts To Cure Pain Temporarily *That pulsating pain and nauseous feeling every time. That aching points lined from the tips of our eyebrows circling to the back of our heads. It's like something is pinning down my nose that it got clogged, linking to the jolt of pain in my head that I'm feeling since this morning. It feels like the heavyweight of gravity is pulling me down making me want to lean my head in a soft and comfortable spot. Naturally impatient and…
Can I do it? I made my biggest mistake and that changed me overnight. It's not that I regret harboring the fruits of it and it's not that I regret it. I'm just feeling sorry for the mistake that I did. First of all to God, second to my parents, and third to my child. I know how to face the consequences and I'm not running from them. It's a thing that I should pay for all my life, ***me alone***. I don't regret having her as my child. In all honesty, I'm thankful and blessed.…
In Times of Crisis, There is Business. Coming from the title given above, I think you do have an idea of what will I share today. I often hear that from Chinese businessmen, wherein they take advantage of making profits amidst an ongoing crisis. Where people need those essentials the most, it's a golden opportunity for them that shouldn't be missed for it wouldn't happen as often. Anyway, the kind of crisis that I'll be going to share isn't that much of a disaster. It's just…
Think About It, Deeply. Tomorrow is the day. I'll be flying home for real tomorrow morning. I'm excited while Madam is not. She is even sad about it. She keeps on mentioning that I can come back anytime if I want to. It's evident on her face and the tone of her voice that she is sad seeing me leave her. If I don't have a child yet, maybe I can stay here longer without thinking of going home but the situation is different now. My child needs my presence as she is growing up…
The Day Has Come. Lately, I have been telling all of you here, ***"Tomorrow is the day."*** What I meant by saying that is the day of my arrival here in Bacolod. It has been a tough and tiresome day for me. Aside from preparing to travel and while traveling, arriving and preparing for my new home was also that tedious. I haven't shared this or given any updates about my travel last **May 15** because it tires the hell out of me. I'll explain why as this article continues.…
Cleaning And Setting Up Things At The Day of Moving In From that trip from the airport, up in the sky on the plane, to landing at the designated location, *which is home*, the journey doesn't just end there. ***It actually just begins!*** Let's begin from ***Bacolod-Silay International Airport*** first as our starting point of my journey in the new life where I'm still adjusting. Madam wanted me to ride in a taxi for safety purposes because of the virus, *still*. She even…
Soaked And Stranded May 16 is my cousin's birthday. We haven't seen each other for so long and the last time that we have seen each other was maybe way back in my elementary days. They moved to another town which is an hour and a half away from us if we travel by bus. Their grandfather and their Aunt live there. So when they inherited a part of their grandfather's land from his father's side, they moved immediately. It was our first time again seeing each other from that…
Unexpected Visitors and Unexpected Delivery Though I get soaked and stranded by the heavy rains, the party doesn't end with it. Since she got this unexpected visitors on her birthday, the party goes on. It's not actually a party but just chitchats and laughters. Well, at least, they did enjoy with just that. We truly didn't expect them to come and they only expected me since I told her ahead though I also arrived late. Actually, they truly didn't expect for any visitors at…
A Visit To An Old School The closing of this school year is fast approaching. Maybe just a week or two to go and we can hear the graduation march again with the students wearing their toga, happily marching and lining up to the stage to receive their diplomas and awards. But for those who wouldn't graduate yet, it's still merry news for them since they have passed another level and will be getting ready to enter another level in the next school year. Plus, a vacation from…
A Visit To An Old School Pt. 2 I was just waiting outside when I took a picture of those streetscapes. When it was about 9 am, I decided to go inside even though their program was still ongoing. The school is strict with its guests, may it be their students, teachers, enrollees, or just plainly guests. All of the people who will enter will have to present their ***BacTrac ID*** *(Bacolod Contact Tracing ID) or the Qr Code of the said ID* to the scanning machine, then scan…
A Tomboy Looking Wolf, they said. After that little tour and claiming my documents at my old school, I still don't feel like going home. I don't have a place to go in particular. I just walk aimlessly, looking at the jeepneys on the road, and the establishments that I can pass by. After a few minutes passed of walking with no specific place to go, I reached the downtown area and I felt like nature is calling me to release some water. I don't want to use the bathroom at the…
Back To The Farm! After all of that adventures in the City, I decided to visit our home on the farm. I should have been back since the day that I arrived in Bacolod but I have waited for the arrival of my package from LBC and it delays me for days. They were all awaiting my return and I was also excited to see how much my baby have grown. I left her with my family so that I could work when she was just 8 months old and now I'm back that she is already 3 years and 4 months…
A prompt for now: Which is worse? I have been doing some chores in my room since this morning. I get tired from doing my laundry and so I lie down for a while. Then you know what happens when your energy got relaxed and went down, right? ***It's laziness to the moon!*** It's like you never would want to get off your bed and do something. Not even taking a bath or cooking for lunch. But kidding aside, of course, I still took a bath. Then, rain poured heavier earlier making me…
It's kind of spooky! I woke up late this morning and I felt great. I didn't do much anything today to get me tired, either. That Chinese drama that I have been watching on YouTube this afternoon was to blame. Yes, thanks to that! My emotionally unstable self has been activated. *Oh, goodness!* I even cried. It's a shame to admit but yeah, the tigress is depressed over some drama. I'll make a review and recommendations about if I finished watching. For now, I'll do a prompt…
The Farm Adventure Continues Surely, you had caught a glimpse of the farm where I grew up in my previous article. After all that beauty of nature but without the presence of a good internet signal, it is still boring. I really can't survive this ever since I was a kid and that is why I was living more in the city than here on the farm. In my two days there, I have been struggling to find more signals so I can publish my articles. My brothers have a certain spot where they…
From Cargo Pants to White Slacks After the two days visit to the farm, I came back to Bacolod since I can't properly work there. Two days of being unproductive are quite long if you are just a freelancer and you don't have a stable income anymore. I spent my time making up for my unproductivity when I came back to the place where I'm renting. I read and read a lot of articles as I can, give upvotes, and leave some comments if I have something in mind to be shared related to…
I'm the supportive cousin. I don't know and she doesn't know also if the white slacks that I bought are good for their event. I went to her house, with the white slacks that I bought, early in the morning because I would be bathing with sweat under the heat of the sun if I set out late. It was good timing when I arrived since she was also preparing to go to their school. I rest while she was still preparing herself and her uncle gave me a bottle of soft drink. It was…
Claim a document, then chill at the park. I plan to get a ***valid ID*** but it would take a long before it will be delivered to me after the process. I don't necessarily need it since I have a ***Philhealth ID*** but I can't verify my *coins.ph* account using that, so I should be really needing one. When I saw that ***NBI Clearance*** is on their list and I can just pay in advance and then make an appointment, I immediately search the official website and made an account.…
A Prompt Again: Would You Rather (Food Edition) It's late for me to start typing my blog for today. Not that I'm busy and not that I'm tired but just busy daydreaming while sipping my coffee and staring blankly at the ceiling here in my room for half a day. Not that I'm going insane or there is something wrong with me. It's just the end of the month today, so I'm giving myself more rest from all the stress that I have got this whole month. This is my reward to myself for…
