"The Girl Allergic to Wi-Fi"

Another day has passed. I think this year serves as an unpredictable break for all of us. I wonder when will this pandemic be over or how long this is likely to last. Majority of us are still spending much more of our time at home. So might as well we stay entertained. We all have different things of what we can do to keep ourselves busy. Because we don't know during this pandemic some of us will slowly going stir crazy not able to go outside and do the things we're used to. So let me share to you my quarantine life. During the 1st and 2nd week, my colleagues and I started to play volleyball, footballand jumping rope. But as days went by, we got bored 😅😏 In the long run, everyone's living their own lives inside each Villa. We even turned the days into nights, nights into days right now. We sleep during daytime, and awake during night time. And having our first meal of the day around 5-6pm. One time I woke up for no reason and went outside around noon time, and literally there's nobody outside (except the security guards). I learned playing UNO cards (thanks to our Italian pastry chef hihi). I wasn't informed that my foreign workmates are into water gun fighting lmao. (i think they ran out of things to do that it leads them to buy water guns and running and playing like kids inside the compound). They even asked me one time to go out because they said it was emergency and by the moment I came out from the door (in a rush, cause they told me to hurry up, and FYI I am fresh from the shower that time and already in my PJs) to my surprise, they gave me another bath by throwing me a huge pot of water haha and of course they did the same thing to the others. Yahh, they're really having fun enjoying games like these :)) So this is one of the crazy things this quarantine made us do. And sometimes when I'm in the mood, I play dress up and wasting my make-up for a 15second tiktok video, selfies and room pictorials 😎 I also binge watching netflix specially korean dramas, I'm not really into these kind of movies before, but big thanks to Rachel for introducing me to Kdrama world hehe. I am starting to get addicted and can't get rid of it now. I just love how they act so genuine in every scene in a movie and I cry so easily while watching huhu they're just so real and true as if it's not scripted hayyys. Mapapa-SANA ALL ka nalang 😀 I also started my home workout with a little help from an app. This has been my plan for a long time ago to get a 6-pack abs haha but i don't know why I keep failing at this exercise thingy. But at this very moment, I am on my 36th day of straight workout, with 107 workouts and 853 minutes (cause I have all the time to do it now, no excuses lol). Yup, the app I am using comes with a calendar progress haha. I always do my workout right before I go for a shower. My roommate and I decided to go out sometimes for a walk around neighborhood, we do it every 2 days or if feel namin maglakad haha. Our goal is to have a minimum of 8,000-10,000 steps and sometimes we reach 13,000 steps and it feels so so good. But later on, I can't stop overeating again right after every workout hahaha whyyy. In fairness, I can now see a little improvement from trying so hard working out my ass. We stopped working last March 16, 2019 so exactly today marks the 73rd day being unemployed haha. And thanks to our company who never abandon and still supporting us. They still provide us home and food and giving us atleast the 25% of our whole salary every month, since there's no business. Though it is not much, but it's better than to have nothing, right? It is sort of getting paid just by sitting our ass of all day on the couch and watch netflix hahaha.(I'm feeling guilty right now lol) They still doing the right thing despite of this coronavirus crisis. And I'm so grateful for that and for every little thing I have right now. I hope everyone is doing well and that all of you are in good health, and this ongoing crisis will teach all of us many important lessons about life. 🙂😊🙏🏻 -jedang

I ain't gonna hide these beautiful scars

I really don't know the exact reason why I'm so emotionally attached to this song. Love it since the first time I heard it back in my college days. It makes me happy and sad at the same time while listening. Anyhow, this song is just simply beautiful. -jedang

I adore flowers, to be honest. They are beautiful. And it feels so good to be remembered. I have always wanted a guy to just randomly give me flowers because he wants to, and not for the reason that you asked them to. But gifts for me, it’s no big deal. I don't even need fancy things. But don't ever think if your boyfriend never buys you any gifts because maybe you don't deserve to receive these things or you are not pretty, sexy enough etc. One partner would say, "I feel like my boyfriend doesn't love me". Don't get distracted very easily or jealous about your friends receiving flowers and gifts from their guys. Each one of us has different form of expressing love, don't just depend it based on how many gifts you gained. Don't ask too much from them, it could make your partner uncomfortable. It's not a matter of being "spoiled" or "selfish", we express love in different ways. For me the best language ever since is a partner who values in engaging quality time. Simple but overly romantic. Going on a road trips are my favorite, together with good music and food of course. One of the things I experienced before was, he took me to a scenic mountain road trip. He let me drove the car on a curvy road for me to know how to drive with a lot of "turns", for me to familiarize and to know the timing of the steering wheel. He is a guy that knows everything that makes me great and helps me put my best foot forward. That was the most exhilarating road trip I ever had so far hahaha. I even remember the time he fetched me in my workplace and I had my graveyard shift way back then, I ended my shift at 6am in the morning, so it means I've been awake for the whole night working and I haven't got any sleep. We decided to go home to our town together that morning and I assumed that he will be the one to drive but instead he told me to drive for us (for 2hrs). That moment, I just learned driving and by some means, it was a sort of a practice for me also lol. (to think wala pa ko natulog) I can't even imagine how he trusted me that time when he just taught and trained me to drive for a very short time before. And all he did while we were on our way was SLEEPING (oh my God haha i don't even have a license that time, he just trust me that much). Everytime I encounter stoplights, I keep staring at him. I have a lot of road trip memories that I've lost count, and the one I mentioned above is just one of them. Small things like that can have a big and great impact on one’s happiness. People sometimes underestimate the influence of little things. I just value the companionship and the closeness that much, that's why I value having a quality time together. Yes, I am clingy (somtimes haha) and it's a lot better than being a material girl. There are things you cannot buy in stores like love, happiness and time. I am convinced by the saying that explains, we really don't know what the future may hold, life is a point of time so let us enjoy it while it lasts and not spend it to nonsense. It’s all about time, and people come and go.😊 -jedang

"How could I miss him like this? I don’t even know his name!" She’s very independent that she never tried to approach him even once. She don’t want to be labeled as "easy-to-get". All she had was regret that she didn’t get the chance to know him better.

She just remembered something about a name with the word -el, inisip nya ang makakatuluyan nya ay may -el sa pangalan. “Hindi naman siguro sya yun, he’s married eh!” At pano nya nalaman? Nakita na kasi nyang may isang tiny shimmering splendid na band sa left ring finger nya.

She still looks for him on the train, on the bus and at the bus stop, hoping that one day he’ll see him and make her heart skip once again.
