I really hate it when I don’t blog enough, even when it’s mindless self-centered rambling. It just means that I’m not writing and/or releasing enough. Anywho, the last month has been a bit of a blur.
1. Sinulog was legendary. There’s no way to describe it enough to give it justice, but it’s one of those times that make me happy to be part of such an amazing culture. I went home exhausted and covered in paint. Needless to say, it was awesome. Everyone in this country should be able to experience it at least once in their life. I can’t wait for next year.
2. I haven’t had normal health in over two weeks, which is weird because I don’t think I’ve ever been sick for this long in my life. Ever. I’m hoping it’s on its way out now.
3. Since November, I’ve been really getting into web design. The only thing that sucks about it is that I’m not a graphic designer and I have to ask for help from my friends who are. Still, it’s really cool learning something new. Currently, I’m working on my tita’s company’s website. I’m probably going to be getting my own soon and move to another URL.
4. If I haven’t stressed it enough, I am so psyched for the two upcoming concerts in Manila. For now, I’m focusing all my energy on the Deftones concert this Saturday. I’ve been listening to everything from Adrenaline to Diamond Eyes, which is something the other few thousands who are watching are doing as well. I am so excited to finally see them live, it’s ridiculous. I’ll be writing about STP in time.
5. I’m flying to Manila this Thursday. It’s weird because I was just there last December, but it feels like I haven’t been there in forever. If there’s one thing that’s consistent, it’s the excitement to see Odin. And my friends, of course.
6. I had to deal with a really huge disappointment recently, which pretty much devastated me a whole lot. Surprisingly, I’m proud to say I handled it quite well and I guess I’m really learning how to let things go when you have to. Besides, true character really shows when you don’t get what you want or when you get hurt.
7. Sure, I’m still young, but sometimes you can’t help but feel your age when your body doesn’t work the way it used to. Not only am I suddenly allergic to crabsticks (goodbye California Maki), but my hyperacidity attacks are a lot worse than they used to be. The only good side of it that it makes for a valid reason for people to stop forcing you to drink. (Because based on experience, preference is simply not good enough.)
8. Odin and I are hitting Singapore the day after the Deftones concert. This is me hoping that my chicken ass gets over its roller coaster phobia by the time we get to Universal Studios. And I swear by Chino Moreno, I am so hitting that Science Center THIS TIME. (We went there last year, but it was closing by the time we arrived. Yup, losers. Losers trolling the souvenir store as a last ditch effort to make something of the trip. Vengeance is mine this year!) Ultimately, I’m psyched to spend Valentine’s with mi valentino in one of our favorite cities. Heee.
9. To this day, I am also still fighting my baduy syndrome. Baduy syndrome is how I am able to stay up when I’m home (like now), but unable to stay up past ten when I’m out. I am also still fighting the Cebu weight I gained since I got back. Queen city goodness in mah bellehhhh…
10. I’ll be honest when I say that I still don’t know where my life is headed. Still waiting for an answer, but at least I’m getting by. It’s just that I like efficiency, and I’d really like to have a solution by now. But I’ll wait. And will keep waiting until whatever it is hits me. Something tells me it will be something big. I hope it is.
P.S. As I mentioned, I’ll be going to Manila on Thursday. If anybody wants to buy good and cheap wheatgrass, email me! My friends are ordering and I’m bringing for them already, let me know if you want to order too.
