la vie est belle.

Parang hindi na. Hindi na yata ako masaya. I’ve been here before. The feeling is so familiar kaya I know what will make it go. I cry every night, I dread waking up every morning. I don’t know about weekends anymore. I don’t know what it feels like going home and thinking about nothing but rest and peace. Everyone is haunting me. My Messenger is receiving messages nonstop. I want to go on DND…

Hindi ako takot mag-isa. Kaya kong maglakwatsa na walang ibang aalalahanin. Kaya kong manood ng sine at kumain saan ko man gustuhin. Kaya kong pumunta kahit saang lugar ko man naisin.  Hindi ako takot mag-isa. Bumabangon at natutulog ako na walang kasama kundi mga unan. Inuuna ang sarili at nakakapagbayad ng sariling utang. Masaya ako kapag ako lang; walang kayang pumuna sa aking…

Heya! After watching “A Journey”, I realized I also have a magic list I want to finish this year! We don’t need to delay the things we want to do, so sharing mine that I want to accomplish by the end of this year (even though I still have a life list that’s supposed to be finished by December 2024 lol). This year, I want to: Finish my PTC at UPOU Learn how to drive (and get a freakin’…

Today, I realized I have a lot in my mind. While staring at the wall after I woke up this morning, I knew I had to let this out. I originally intended to stay at a friend’s while thinking about what I really wanted to do with my life. While walking aimlessly, I realized there was only one I wanted to talk to. I hurriedly went to Oud Metha metro station to pay Him a visit but I didn’t know how to…

When people ask me why am I still single, I wanna punch them in the face hahaha. I am only half kidding, but I wanna try one time. 😜 I’ve been single/not-in-a-romantic-relationship-single for nearly a decade now, and I chose to be this way. I’ve been living semi-independently (because Tita Jeh was my neighbor and she fed me) for years, and I learned to love being single and free. I am happy…

I arrived in Dubai on December 7th. Tita Jo, Nicole, and Marianne picked me up at the airport. Will forever be grateful for them, especially to Anjel. They adopted me and treated me as their own. New people, new place. Still lots of thoughts running in my head. I am not yet ready to let it all out. I miss my family and friends in PH. I miss the comfort my condo unit gives me. Haaay life. -a

Went to visit Bahrain in February 2023 and was able to finish this montage in March. I didn’t know how to properly end it because I didn’t record enough videos. 🙃 Special shoutout to Tito, Tita, and Iya for this trip! Enjoy and let me know your thoughts! -a

Honestly, I forgot about having a blog. Became busy when I had a corporate job back home. And I talk to myself on Twitter so there was no need to talk to myself here. Hahaha! 🙂 Been in Bahrain for almost 3 months now. Have lots of thoughts running in my mind that I think I need to get off. That’s it for now. Will watch UAAP CDC. Ttfn! -a

I Am Back. As A Student This Lockdown Season.

In September 2020, I enrolled at UP Open University’s Professional Teaching Certificate (PTC) Program. For the first few days, I was overwhelmed by the endless reading materials and journals. It was taxing. My co-learners were all active and pabibo (in a good way) in the discussion boards while I was still trying to focus and understand the lessons. It made me want to drop and forget about the…
