That is some Sense We basically have five senses right? **Sight, Smell, Hearing, Touch and Taste.** The sense of Smelling and Tasting is much tested and appreciated for the last two years. I remember getting paranoid one time I was not feeling well and had to pick out a strong perfume to smell and start licking salt granules I poured on my hand just to check if I am okay (swig a shot of tequila after.. joke). I appreciate the sense of sight almost every day seeing the good…
Plucked and Tuned It is the third of July already? My, my, time flies. I kind of assumed it would be well with me and my brain last night to think yesterday was a Friday. Free day. I have nothing planned for me the next day to require the sandman to give me more than the dosage I need to get some sleep quickly. I decided to walk it off and visited my little garden of carnivorous plants. I stared at the sky and had a no-blinking game with the stars. I kept telling them if I…
Think?... Feel? I just took a refresher for personality test. Not that it changed much but I needed it for some review. I still am largely introverted. No surprise there. Browsing through the explanation of the other dimensions, I got a bit curious. I think people nowadays no longer really pay much attention to this element. Or was that thinking brought about by the industry I am working in? Thinking Versus Feeling? Do you make decisions using your heart or your head? Heart…
Honored! Thank you sir bestie 😄 @ARTicLee so so so much!

The Caged Pearl Necklace ***How long does it really take to for one to move on? Forward? Forgive? Forget? And what is the gauge of when one is already “okay”?*** “You two have a great day ahead!” She told the couple with a smile. She just served them their iced coffee to go. The door chimes sounded as the couples took their coffee outside the shop and walked towards the benches overlooking the bay area. It was the regular routine of both. And they were a regular. But who is…
Wednesday.. should I be excited? Still pinching myself that it is already Wednesday. My mind is actually skipping Thursday and fast forwarding to Friday my second and final vax. Yay! Anyway.. . “Lord, Surprise me!” I have not verbally prayed that in a long time simply because it eventually became weaved into my system. By weaved into my system I meant I became too comfortable and felt no longer the need to say it verbally. The sigh may sound demanding, but it really is a…
Beautiful Danger I have been spinning my head around this for like since last night. I am weighing how it will come across. So spin, spin, spin. And I ended with this instead. Let us take a walk in the garden for a while, shall we? I have not been doing a lot of walking these days. I kept making excuses, but I think I may be just not enthused about seeing what is outside these days. Besides, it is hard to shoot around with masks and shield on. Back when I was still in the…
It was all good after the long rough, ride. Right? Hello there. How are you guys doing? Last day of the work week. How was your week so far? Did the week go as planned? Are we finally getting near our goals? ***“Are we there yet?”*** One of the lines Donkey, from Shrek, keeps asking Shrek on their way to the Kingdom of Far, Far, Far, Far Away (I think I over far-ed). I had to re-watch the short clip of their travel just because I missed seeing Donkey. I remember asking the…
Today Laughing it off: Achieved! *July 10, 2021 (post for July 10, 2021 but posting it on the 11th .. whatever!)* Hah! This is by far the weirdest struggle I have with picking out a topic. With a lot of things that goes through my head everyday and everything almost fitting to be a topic, none seems fit to be written – they fit to stay in the head. The Gallery Prompt: Failed I have been scrolling through my phone gallery hoping for whichever that will give me that “hey write…
Whopeee.... Thank you HEAPS bloghound!
ABRAmazing Adventure : Kaparkan Falls My sponsors have been taking me everywhere. Go check them out! So why not join the fun, right? My turn. Let us go to Kaparkan Falls. I do not have a top view of the place. I may have misplaced it or have not taken one. Apologies on that one. I went there with my constant travel buddies. This is one of my local trips that I still am having a hard time to deciding if I will repeat it or not. The place, no doubt, is absolutely beautiful the…
Never Ever Never Joining the club! Secretly generating the random never evers in the background while waiting for my turn and thank you @Eylz2021 Picked from this: https://randomwordgenerator.com/never-have-i-ever-question.php and this: https://parade.com/966617/parade/never-have-i-ever-questions/ Since some of the questions from the other generator is already answered by some and some I cannot find any answer to except plain "Yes I have and No, I haven't" which I find sad…
Where to Next? **I always ask "Where to Next" when I plan with my friends the next adventures we will be taking. Like after Abra, where to next? After Pangasinan, where to next? After this, where to next?** *I never thought I would need to ask it on a regular day.* I guess this is one way to be reminded that everyday is an adventure. Not exactly the ideal adventure I have in mind : trees, beaches, adrenaline rush, etcetera but an adventure still. I mean I know it. I wake up…
Lost in... Hola everyone! Hump day over! Well, almost. How did your Wednesday go? How are you? Have you tried talking to anyone face to face using the same language and yet you have different understanding? Before you go through whatever is down there .. check these awesome people out.. July 14, 2021 First day high in the air. The broken block class starts chattering about how their previous class was, who their professor is for certain subjects. Who got the terror teacher…
Late for work.. She is having a bad day. That is for sure. She has not walked out of the door yet, but she knows she is already having a bad day. That is because she woke up late. In the place she lives in, you have to be leaving the house by 6:30AM and on the bus before 7AM. Because if you are not rolling out of that bus loading area before 7am, your travel will dramatically change from a 30-minute ride travel time to an hour and a half. 6:59AM is forgivable. But for some…
Let us Do Something Light on a Friday Night It is the weekend! Hurray! I am joining in on the fun on random questions. I will rest about thinking of the next story I will make up or reflection. I got tagged by @Eylz2021 and thought why not? :D I got my questions from the same link : https://learnhip.com/randomq/ and picking the following questions to answer: Do you have any pets? Yes we do. I really did not plan on having but I could not resist taking the kitty off the…
Celebrating Small Steps Forward Recognize small miracles each day. It may not be something the whole world will be celebrating but it is enough that you recognize your miracle for yourself. That will keep you fueled to look forward to tomorrow and the day after that and the day after that. You will realize you are farther from the you yesterday albeit just a small inch. If it is hard to see the daily miracles, recall the other days and have hope that there will be. Hope and…
Do Not Talk To Strangers No do not, really. Do we still tell kids to not talk to strangers? And do not take candies from them, too? One time in the airport while waiting for my flight back from Bangkok to Manila, I moved away from my group to find a solitary spot and read. Kidding. We were not seated close to each other. There were a lot of people that time and it was super early in the morning flight and a voice from the PA just announced that our flight will be delayed…
Fit, Creative and ka-ching! No celebration .. just saying it is the 200th day! haha. How are you guys doing on this 200th day of the year? Yes, it is the 200th day of the year as of writing or typing. If I get through this writeup before midnight, it stays to be the 200th day of the year. I have this morning ritual to already be sending this counts over to the socmed world. Oftentimes, they are conversation starters. This one got a lot of "gosh we're already at the 200th…
Apo Reef on the Surface I was browsing through my gallery one time when I stumbled across this picture: I remember this picture as a reminder of how I found out: I *cannot* go scuba diving. SCUBA diving is one of the items in my bucket list. or WAS. Scuba stands for Self Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus. The gear consists mainly of the regulator (the mouthpiece connected to the oxygen), the tank and buoyancy control device. One time a friend in the office approached…

Rather Rather Let's have it Pulling this one out of the shelf. It is Wednesday. It has been raining all day. I have had too much of thinking (or trying) for the day so let us do this. Pre picked these silly questions here : **https://randomwordgenerator.com/would-you-rather-question.php** and saved them to be answered for times like now - cold day, rain is pouring madly but not much ideas pouring in my head. Well there is but, that would involve a longer period of self-talk…
The story we tell ourselves.. Is it so? Life is a continuous learning process. As you grow older and wiser, there are things in life that you get to relearn and it is ok to realize that the previous things you thought was right is actually not. Take for example, loving. Our way of loving progresses as we grow older. Same with the way we receive love. We thought of love as infatuation and felt that it was real love. Then that eventually changes. We tread on paths we first…
Salamat po @LykeLyca! :)up up the motivation. Blessing ka po:)
Rough Ridin' the waves to Paradise Way, way, way back when things permitted us to be able to travel a lot, me and my friends decided to take a break and do something "over the weekend". It has been like that for us since we all realized we are that group we can say "Let's go" and we will all be packing up immediately. Our target this time : Calaguas Island. Calaguas Island is located in the province of Camarines Norte in Bicol Region. We took a bus bound for Daet going…
I am afraid of me The night is now silent. No more heavy rain. I can just hear the steady baritone of the toads doing their midnight choir. I suddenly wished for a few rain though. It is, after all, almost bed time and it is finally the weekend. Sleep all day, right? But that is fine. We have had too much rainfall from yesterday until today. I hope everyone in areas that get flooded easily are okay. In no particular order, I present to you guys the things I am afraid of from…
The Durian Candy Realization When we were young, my mom, who frequented going to Davao for some seminar or meeting with other women in our denomination, used to take home Durian Candies. I never liked the fruit because of its offensive smell but when they turned it into a candy it transformed into something I really liked. I remember eating a lot of these to the point that I already feel my throat getting sore before drinking water. Durian is a fruit that looks like…
Restless Rested These past few rainy days get me grounded indoors too much. Normally I have a weekend routine aside from staying in bed. That heavy rain (yes that... I am hoping it is gone) is the perfect time to check on leaks in my place but since most streets are flooded OR I do not know which streets are flooded along the way to my place, I do not know if it was safe to take a chance. I do not think I am up to turning my car to a submarine. Yesterday I pushed myself to…
Dazed and Confused *Funny I started to think about writing this one few days back. This is one of those awkward stories from long time ago that still makes me laugh at myself when I recall. The things you do when you are not yourself. But I held back. Then I saw* @OfficialGamboaLikeUs *short post last night about sharing stories about that time when you are not your usual self and thought why not?* *Communication can be carried out in different ways other than verbal.*…
Maybe just maybe Hiya! So as the world is slowly winding down and this noisyverse is also pulling slowly to "sleep" (what is that word?).. here I am shaking my mind with ten thousand thoughts (roughly estimated). Has anyone played boggles? It used to be called boggles but I think right now we call it "word factory". So it is this word game where players try to form words on the letter blocks that settled on their cubed grid. But before they can do that, they have to cover…
Happy dance!! Thank you Dood @Just1dood!! Tap tap tap tap tap tap that keyboard! Thank you ! oh I already said that! Thank you! I said it again!
oi @Sequioa sis! waaaaaaaaaaahh thank you !!! So so so much!
Just looking around: Coming home Dripping Hi there, fellow readers! How are you doing? I thought tonight we will have a break from the nasty rain but I guess the tanks up in the clouds are again filled to brim and water is overflowing. I hear the flow of the water from the roof and down to the ground. It is supposedly relaxing. That is what flowing water does, right? But somehow if it is rain and that from someone else's count, more than five days raining, it is no longer…
Blind side : Who's your Donkey? What is up dear Read dwellers? What have you been up to today aside from clearing the read bells here and the red bell in noise? Have you ever tried to cross the street one time making sure nothing is coming your way? Then when you were about to cross the street, suddenly a motorcycle turns the corner and you scramble to safety? I remember crossing the streets of Hong Kong once and forgetting they drive on the left as opposed to us driving on…
huge bear hugs go to @Eylz2021 and @TengoLoTodo ... >--(^_^)--< You two are very very very awesome thank you!
Road Trip to Unknown : Off the beaten path Hello once again fellow Readers! It is Friday finally! We will be having a break from our usual work ain't that exciting? What is your plan this weekend? Have you tried going on a blind date? No. This one is not going to be about a blind date. But we know what a blind date is like, right? Meet with a person you hardly know most likely set up by common friends. `Before everything else... check these beautiful people out and their…
Ridiculous. Preposterous. Silly. Lots of things that fall under this category stirs laughter for anyone. Out of this world. Unimaginable. Abnormal. Out of norm. Lots of things under this category, however, can stir awe and wonder. Light, regular conversation of silly inputs can fall under those categories above. The two groups are actually interchangeable. Anything ridiculous can either be taken in wonder and awe or in humor. or it can draw a "whaat?" like this one...…
