Di ~~nanaman~~ makatulog. Anuna.

Medyo salarin si Netflix. Hubs and I binged on Cobra Kai and so far it’s a feel good series naman. Brings back memories both from the original movies and in real life. Pero this time, parang you would tend to root for Johnny kasi it showed his struggles and how he was just trying to turn his life around. The whole time I was thinking of Barney (HIMYM) kasi parang this was the side he was always pointing out to everyone. I missed Mr. Miyagi Pat though. Naks, parang close ah. But yeah, this was a huge chunk of my childhood lalo na pag tumugtog na yung “You know our love was meant to be..”.

Dear Self,

I feel like everytime I write here, all I do is rant about how stressed I have been. Pasensya na 😝 but, that’s one of the reasons this blog is here di ba? When I’m bored, I re-read random posts and I can’t help but laugh at myself kasi ang OA ko din naman talaga minsan. So yeah, I feel na these random snippets will soon be replaced by rants real soon.

So ayun na nga.

I have recently finished another module and my requirements for uni so I feel so mentally drained right now. And as much as I want to take back all those sleepless nights, my brain just won’t stop torturing me, forcing me to think of random stuff and eto, magblog. Hay. Konting push nalang, matatapos din ang lahat.

For some reason, my sense of smell has been so bibo lately and I might sound weird pero I feel relaxed when I smell particular scents. Alam mo yung nung bata ka tapos magpapa gasolina tapos sisinghutin mo talaga yung amoy? Ganung levels! Ngayon, I love the smell of a newly hoovered carpet, lalo na yung sa hallway ng flat namin and at work. Tapos for past 6 months I’ve been obsessed with these:

It was an incidental find sa isang spa when were recently in the Philippines. I just loved the scent and the cooling sensation it gives. So far I’ve been alternating all 3 depending on my mood. I also had to retire my dependence on Vicks and replaced it with these for when I need a semi quick sleep fix (a.k.a applying a little on my lid).

I have yet to blog about my recent trip to Iceland (actually nasa drafts lang siya but still too tamad to tuloy the details) but you know sometimes I just unconsciously look at the sky and start looking for Aurora B nakakalurky! I wish we had that here in the UK. I still even check the app and get excited with a high kpr even if I know na napakalayo ko naman. Aca-weirdo ka talaga.

I want to make my tito’s dreams of watching Wimbledon come true so here I am, randomly searching for ways to get a centrecourt ticket hahhaa. Of course I know pahirapan but just in case someone finds this entry and has experience watching a game live, please give me some tips!

Avril lavigne, pussycat dolls, slipknot, dua lipa all announced shows for next year. Sakit sa heart and bulsa pag nagkataon. Pengeng sponsors please, charrr!

Aca-nthoughts, Random Snippets

One of the longest 6 weeks of my life, pero in the end, nga-nga padin. I miss home, at kung gaano kaaffordable magpa hupa ng stress. Yung after a stressful day at work, dederecho nako sa Lyf Center (existing pa kaya yung shop?) sa may San Gabriel to get a 250 pesos combi massage for 1 hour. Pag nasa ulirat pa, sasakay ng tricy ulit papuntang centro sabay bili sa suki kong manggahan/singkamasan then bili ng wintermelon milk tea or zagu black forest grande. Then punta sa paradahan pauwing Caggay for 10 pesos. Kahit overwhelmed at pagod, laban padin kasi pagkain at masahe lang napakalaking tulong na. Bat ba kasi ang hirap tumanda at maghanap buhay anez?

Pero sana naging mas realistic and practical sila sa school ano? I think kaya mas nakakapagod mag adulting kasi none of us has a clue how to do this shit. I mean no one can decode everything but it would’ve been more helpful if na-include sa syllabus about paying your taxes, investing in life insurance, getting a loan, managing stress, how to love your work/colleagues, anong mabangong fabcon, ilang thread count yung masarap higaan at higit sa lahat, pano maging patient at hindi sumabog pag nagkasabay sabay lahat ng ganap. Swerte ng ibang may available guidance. Mahalaga pala talaga yung mga payo ng taong nagdaan na sa mga stages. Pero pano nalang yung mga sinosolo lahat dba? Paano na?

Hay.
